Were you around for this inception? Was this part of your idea? Or can you speak to that identity shift and what the Black Mamba was able to accomplish?

Yeah.

So the one thing I want to say, everybody thinks of the Black Mamba as a mentality.

And I was telling them, it's not a mentality.

It's a lifestyle.

It's a lifestyle.

And I've seen more individuals who have tried to adopt this Mamba mentality lifestyle, and it's actually... been more of a hindrance in their careers than it has been a success.

So how do we get to that laser-like level of focus with all of these distractions? And what is your perspective on time management? Because I've heard it and I want our audience to hear it because I really agree with it wholeheartedly.

Yeah.

Because it starts with a really hard look in the mirror.

We are our biggest liars.

We will lie to ourself about fucking everything.

And if you will not stand in front of the mirror and take a real, true, honest, unbiased, accountable assessment of your own life, you cannot win.

You cannot win.

There is going to become a time if you want to create what it is that you want to c- to do, that you're gonna have to look at yourself, dude, and you're gonna have to realize it's nobody's fault.

Fuck yeah.

You know what I mean?

Everybody wants to be- everyone wants to sit in that chair.

Everybody wants to sit in that seat, until it's time to sit in that seat, until it's time to make those decisions.

Listen, pressure's a privilege, folk.

Stop, don't run from it.

You don't run from, you don't run from pressure, you run tow- you run towards it.

All right? Pressure defines who you are and who you're not, but also defines who you can become.

Yeah.
