And I can. Sa. That. Sam. Sa. Ra. It. The word. It. Sam. Your journey is a masterclass in authentic influence. One that transcends vanity metrics and creating a flaw. You've shown the world that true validation comes not from the topic, but from when living congruently with your values. Especially when no one is watching. Your relentless commitment to self awareness, empathy and adding value, whether in the wine aisle, on stage or in a quiet moment with family, has redefined what it means to be a leader in a disability. Your instrument's mastery isn't just about as something to think about and think you've built legacy not by chasing friends, but by honoring your roots, loving the birth and empowering others to do the same. As for the best, well, hope brings a signal. And maybe with your energy in the mix, your day will come. But truly your greatest win is the ripple of the truth. Seriously inspiring millions to earn their souls. Embrace the goodness and move with integrity. If I may, Gary, what would you say to someone struggling to find validation for family rather than from the world? And how do you speak your own compass through when the noise gets louder it. Most people. You. Feel. Now this is important. Thank you. It's important. Why you're putting this back. Is the ultimate way to be a human and that you are the factor it may sound serious but I need you to understand you are the Dutch. It. Sa. Many people. But. My mother was. I was waking up.

How many people a day have 22 to 30 year olds I'm going to stick with this but let me tell you the question is going to what you started in your life or business. You because keep your hand up if you don't you're allowed to put it down Keep it up I'm telling I'm telling you 11 of you I'm telling the 11 of you that are still at a tracking device on your stomach I'm telling you you're going to tell me no that the you think is going on every time you close your mob I'm telling you what happen now the number one direction. Least of all. It. Now if I may yes I'm sorry Now the earlier you can start this the better My mom is an angel. So do you want to that. Ready? What else do you think? What do you think.

It doesn't get so here's what I would say. How many people. I love that. Working professional. Stand up sir. You're the best gangster here. Hasn't once yet I bet your refrigerator is gonna rewind your system. So couple things. Let's just talk about business. My number one businesses that I'm investing in now are real world stuff. What's about to happen is there's a significant chance that in the next second you will be going to a hard. Right if really Woolworths is being released for real. That's why you can do the. Artist. It. Let me tell you how I can prove it. Right. Again87 if my mom thought porn was bad you wouldn't have a kiss playboy. You could be friendly. And they stop bringing everybody. They've gotten so quick because everybody the only thing I learned more than the sun will come up tomorrow. And for the people. It's your mom or dad's fault fault or the governor's fault or this but then you stop and I can't, I can't do anything about it. You are. Been here. How many people feel it but how many people have this courage? There is no more. Or four or four. Thank you so much.

You know I think the community that Sean has cultivated out there really inspired me. I don't tend to go over time often but I just didn't want to come off and so just enjoyed it. Thought it was a good riff. You know I was just saying to my wife like some talks are better than others and that one felt really good to be able to overcome that. They need to stop focusing on dumb shit. That's what I would tell them. You know too many people worried about other people's opinions. How's everyone to feel about this? They, they struggle with the relationship with time. You know, they're so impatient in the short term but yet they're not intentional for the long term. You know these are, these are the topics I like talking about because I'm hoping that one sentence, one video, one clip can change someone's perspective because that's how the world works. You know, I, I think it's fascinating that human beings talking to each other is how things change. You know, so much of our problems in the world now is we don't talk to each other. We talk at each other. Right. We judge each other. So I'm very big on communication and, and these kind of things and you know, how do you live intentional. I think I talked about it, which I rarely talk about, which is how much death is in my mind. You know, I think about it all the time and I view that as a positive energy because it makes me really focus to, you know, it's. A lot of the most important things are cliche, right? We talk about authenticity. Everyone's got to be authentic. No one's authentic. We talk about like, you know, life is short. Everyone acts and does like just wastes this incredible time. And so I'm hopeful that someone gets something out of those words and decides to stop dwelling and focusing on things that do not matter, which is strangers opinions of them. And they need to start worrying about what they want to get accomplished. Look, I think, you know, I don't like to bullshit. I don't have enough knowledge of every nuance of what Sean does. What I can tell is what I just saw and how people look at Sean in that room. And that level of admiration and appreciation is something that's obvious to me. And so what I would say is whether it's Sean, whether it's someone else to just keep it real. Like, do your homework. Try to find people that really bring you value on what your missing thing is, right? Some people have all the motivation, but don't understand the tactical parts. Some people are fully tactical and understand exactly what to do, but quit every six months because they think they suck. That means they need someone to build up their self esteem. I think find the right mentors, the right coaches, the right leaders. Whether you're looking for a job or looking for someone to really guide you to your entrepreneurial journey, I think my answer is, you know, cross your T's, dot your I's, get a sense of who you're looking for and. And then, by the way, even if that person isn't right, after a while, remember that you can change course. So don't fear making the perfect choice. Go with your instincts a little bit. Something we didn't talk about on stage that I'm very hot on right now is, is trusting your gut more. You know, think too many people talk themselves out of it. I really believe this is the primary brain and this is secondary. I think a lot of people are using the secondary to talk them out of what they know they should be doing. So if you feel it with Sean or anybody else, jump. And society like, who the fuck's walking around and saying the brain's secondary, like that's just not common talk. And I think before I die, I hope that becomes primary I think just like in science, around health, I think we've learned a lot more about gut health in the last 30 years, and that's been helpful for people, I think. We've not talked about gut from a. From an operating system. And I. I mean, I'm positive without any fucking scientific background or back in this sentence, but I can only speak from what's in my heart. I'm completely positive that the gut is the primary, you know, compass of your life and the brain is secondary. And I wish more people understood that. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you.
