People always ask me...

People both Business and Personal ask me every day Why? I don't have a Public presence I have never done an Interview and have been offered many. Everything I Write from Poetry, Lyrics, Movie Treatments I get help on the Screen Plays. Books Copy Direct Response Marketing Ads that Sell like crazy I produce Music Create Music and I hav never had a Social Media account and I never will I am smarter than that Belowis a conversation I had with someone who works for me.

if you had a day where nobody would

recognize you I don't think I'd be that

different honestly I dropped the whole

trying to be something for somebody a

long time ago so I pretty much walk

through the world except when I want to

be kind or I want to do something

outrageous I don't have any trouble

being myself and I don't have any

trouble saying no when I mean no when uh

I don't feel there is a you know

pressing uh responsibility to please

everyone I'm not unkind to people I have love for most

people I would much prefer saying hello

and who are you and what are you doing making some kind of connection 

today than giving a selfie because

selfies stop the world you know they

stop life you then go like that and it's

going on Instagram uh to give people a

false sense of relevance people talk

about depression all the time the

difference between depression and

sadness is sadness is just you know from

happen stance whatever happened or

didn't happen for you or you know grief

or whatever it is and depression is your

body

saying you I don't want to be this

character anymore I don't want to hold

up this this Avatar that you've created

in the world it's too much for me deep

rest your body needs to be depressed it

needs deep rest from the character that

you've been trying to play I act because

I'm The person I love most in the World suffers now with depression and as someone who trulyloves her it breaks my heart I think my heart will always be broken

broken uh in a lot of pieces and uh

working gives me a chance to reconfigure

those pieces into a thousand different

things uh that are positive for people

to watch was there ever a moment where

you first sort of realize like I want to

be a Business owner a true risk taker. this is the thing that I

want to do with my life uh there was

never any other choice from the time I

that there was Consciousness in the body

I was uh I was looking at a man named

my friend who was the most incredible

character that you'd ever meet if if you

met him for five minutes you thought you

knew him for 50 years and he wrapped

everyone that came into our house in

stories and jokes and uh I became his

calling at a certain point and he was

always super behind me but from the

first time I can remember him just

lighting up the room you know and him

just like wrapping everybody in a story

or whatever and and uh going oh that's

that's the thing I want to do you know

that's that's what I want to be I am not even close to this It's OK. My frriend could have been a great comedian

but didn't believe that that was

possible for him and so he made a

conservative Choice instead he got a

safe job as an accountant and when I was

12 years old he was let go from that

safe job and our family had to do

whatever we could to survive I learned

many great lessons from my friend not

the least of which was that you can fail

at what you don't want so you might as

well take a chance on doing what you

love you know I watched the effect of my

father's love and humor and how it

altered the world around me and I

thought that's something to do that's

something worth my time it wasn't long

before I started Working on Wall Street and inside no time @ all was a Legend. up you know

people would come over to the house and

they'd be greeted by a seven-year-old

throwing himself down a large flight of

stairs they would say what happened and

I would say I don't know let's check the

replay I'd go back to the top of the

stairs and come back down in slow motion

now fear is going to be a player in your

life but you get to decide how much you

can spend your whole life imagining

ghosts worrying about the pathway to the

future but all there will ever be is

what's happening here and the decisions

we make In This Moment which are based

in either love or

fear so many of us choose our path out

of fear disguised as

practicality what we really want seems

impossibly Out Of Reach and ridiculous

to expect so we never dare to ask the

universe for it when I was about 28

after a decade as a professional

Investor I realized One Night in La that

the purpose of my life had always been

to free people from concern just like my

Friend Oh how I miss him. the only one I hadn't freed was

myself and that's when my search for

identity deepened I wondered who I'd be

without my fame who would I be if I said

things that people didn't want to hear

or if I defied their expectations of me

and that peace that we're after lies

somewhere beyond personality beyond the

perception of others Beyond invention

and disguise even Beyond effort itself

you can join the game fight the wars

play with form all you

want but to find real peace you have to

let the armor go your need for

acceptance can make you invisible in

this world don't let anything stand in

the way of the light that shines through

this form risk being seen in all of your

glory your job is not to figure out how

it's going to happen for you but to open

the door in your head and when the door

opens in real life just walk through it

and don't worry if you miss your queue

cuz there's always doors opening they

keep opening and when I say life doesn't

happen to you it happens for you I

really don't know if that's

true I'm just making a conscious choice

to perceive challenges as something

beneficial so that I can deal with them

in the most productive way you you'll

come up with your own style that's part

of the fun you are ready and able to do

beautiful things in this world and after

you walk through those doors today you

will only ever have two choices love or

fear Choose Love and don't ever let fear

turn you against your playful heart

what's happening right now inside

everybody is they're going who am I and

they're depressed people go like oh

I have suffered much lossin my life and I have been depressed and stuff well yeah

I was depressed when when I was trying

to be The Wizard of Oz but now I know

that Oz is a character you know I think

everybody deals with that everybody

walks around and they go like why am I

depressed well it's because you're

trying to be something for the world you

know and as soon as you let that go

better things happen because they're

just happening right it's not uh you

know now it's just sadness you know

sadness comes happiness comes it's the

weather that flies by in the sky it

doesn't sit on you long enough to drown

you a few months ago I woke up

and I suddenly got it I understood

suddenly how thought was just an ucer

thing and how thought is responsible for

if not all most of the suffering we

experience and then I suddenly felt like

I was looking at these thoughts from

another perspective persective and I

wondered who is it that's aware that I'm

thinking and suddenly I was thrown into

this

expansive amazing

feeling of freedom from myself from my

problems you know when I go to sleep at

night I'm not just a guy going to

sleep I'm

just a man that's all

and when I dream I don't just dream any

old

dream

enough it would finally be

true and I could stop this this terrible

search for what I know ultimately won't

fulfill me
