00:00Excuse me sir, question for you sir, is this your Rolls-Royce?
00:03No, I just stole it and drove it here, that's not a stupid question.
00:06I started the channel in Austin, Texas, I grew it to 8 million.
00:08You what?
00:09I grew the channel to 8 million followers.
00:10I go all over the country just asking business owners their best advice to new entrepreneurs.
00:14Just one minute of your time, real quick.
00:15I went to law school.
00:16Yeah?
00:16Yeah, I'm a lawyer.
00:17What's the most interesting thing that you learned about people in law?
00:19I've become pretty cynical, how about that?
00:20Yeah, I'm not real trusting of people anymore.
00:22I'm a criminal defense attorney, among other things.
00:24So, people tend to be mostly not truthful.
00:27Do you come from a lot of money?
00:28No.
00:29My dad died when I was four months old.
00:30My mom was a widow, worked two jobs growing up.
00:32And I got my work ethic from her.
00:34How old are you?
00:35I'm 65 now.
00:36You've got about 40 years on me, I'm 22.
00:37Whose generation works harder, yours or mine?
00:39Mine.
00:39Why is that?
00:40Because we don't complain about it.
00:41Your generation, too many people want to cut corners.
00:43Do you own your own practice?
00:44Yeah, I have for 37 plus years.
00:46So how did you stand out in law?
00:47What did you...
00:48In the 80s, it was easy.
00:49But consistently though...
00:50I found my niche doing motorcycle accidents.
00:52I started racing motorcycles when I was 8 years old.
00:54And because of that niche I told you I found, I never seemed like work.
00:57In other words, riches are in the niches.
00:59Yeah, that's a good term. It sure is.
01:01Now you've been at the table with some heavy hitters.
01:02As a lawyer, what is your best negotiation advice to anybody in business?
01:06Don't jump at the first offer, first of all.
01:08And if both people walk away pissed off, then you know you've got a good deal.
01:11Do you believe in God?
01:12I do.
01:12How important was faith to you throughout your career?
01:14Every time I had a down period, I got kicked in the ass by him.
01:17And he said, go to the gym. And I did.
01:18And they both worked.
01:19I love that. Thank you so much, sir.
01:20Take care of yourself.
01:21I really appreciate that. It means a lot, my friend.
