Hard Work and Determination: How Tyson Durfey Became a World Rodeo Champ | Digital Social Hour #23

All right, welcome to the Digital Social Hour.

I'm your host, Sean Kelly.

I'm here with my guest today, Tyson Durfee.

Man.

How's it going, man?

Man, I've never better.

Flying to the city of Lights.

This is incredible.

You're from Texas.

Yeah.

On a ranch.

Yeah, yeah.

We do things big in Texas, but it's a little bit brighter here in Vegas.

It is, right?

A lot of cities.

So in Texas, you live on a ranch.

And one of the things I liked that you told me about when we met is you make all your own food.

You grow all your own food.

Yeah, yeah.

You don't go to the groceries.

Well, I mean, you're going to have to go to the grocery store for some things, but like all of our own eggs.

We raise all our own beef.

Like

it's very much a sustainable lifestyle.

Right.

You know, if for some reason the world were to come to an end or to cease and you couldn't get food, like cowboys and farmers would probably live the longest because we have our own little community and we raise all the food.

So it makes it a lot easier.

So have you been, would you call yourself a cowboy?

100%.

Hands down.

That's what I've been most of my life.

Okay.

I have an odd childhood, but let's hear about it.

Well, ironically enough, you see the cowboy in pink right now.

And I've been writing for breast cancer awareness for like 15 years professionally.

But when I started out, my parents got divorced.

Like my childhood was crazy.

A lot of like, you know, drama, addiction, certain things.

And I lived with my mom in the inner city in Kansas City.

So at a young age, I was like MC Hammer pants, like Snoop Dogg, Dr.

Dre.

And that was like my whole childhood.

But on the weekends, I'll go see my dad.

And it was like city kid to like farm boy.

Okay.

And it was like this back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

It got to where I was just running like with all the neighborhood like wannabe, you know, gangs.

And I was just falling behind in school.

I was totally a terrible student.

And my dad was like, that kid's going to come live with me on the farm.

And my mom was like, I can't handle him anymore.

So that's where I went.

And so, for the first 10 or 11 years of my life, all I wanted to do was be a gangster.

And then I went to the farm and I was like, I didn't have any way to be that.

It's like, you're a farm boy.

Wow.

And that was

yeah, no, it was a total change.

And

from like 11 to 14, I lived with my dad on the farm.

From 14 on, I've lived by myself.

From 12 years old on, I supported myself 100%, bought my own food,

did my own thing, bought my own clothes, had my own little businesses.

I've always been an entrepreneur from day one.

And it taught me self-reliance.

Now, at 14 years old, my dad would leave the ranch and be like, hey, I'll be back in a couple of days.

Take care of it.

I had like hundreds of lives depending on me, cattle, horses depending on me to feed and water and take care of them.

I think that's one of the greatest things as a cowboy is like you have to have a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

Right.

Right.

If I don't get out of bed, those animals don't eat.

And it's unacceptable in my community to sleep in to like 10 or 11 o'clock and just get up when you want to because they're waiting on you.

Interesting.

And those who know cattle know that when they need medication, they need it in the morning.

If you wait till noon, they may not make it.

Interesting.

So, yeah.

Wow.

So what's different from the modern day cowboy compared to past cowboys that you see on TV and stuff?

Yeah, so maybe some of the folks that watch Yellowstone, it's one of the largest television shows in America right now.

And it's really brought alive the cowboy culture again.

And the thing about it is, ranches and cowboy culture,

as far as numbers of people who want to be cowboy, is getting bigger.

More people like cowboy.

It's cool again.

It's popular and mainstream.

But the ranches, the big ranches, the 10,000, the 15,000 acre ranches, they're going away.

Because back in the day, you used to could buy a ranch and support your lifestyle, feed your family, pay off the ranch, make the mortgage payment, buy the production of the animal.

Can't do that anymore.

You have guys like, you know, take a look at Bill Gates.

Bill Gates is buying up all the farmland in America.

And I have my own conspiracy theories of why this is happening.

But you have a lot of business people that are coming in, buying ranches because they have the capital to do it and they want to live out that John Wayne childhood dream.

And so it's made the actual working ranches smaller and smaller and smaller.

Now the guys that actually take care of the animals are still the cowboys, but the owners a lot of times nowadays are getting less and less and less.

Interesting.

Yeah.

So you're the world rodeo champ.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

We want to hear the story about how you got into it and how you became the best rodeo person.

Yeah, so in my industry, my dad was like Floyd Mayweather's dad.

Just to draw a comparison, because a lot of people may not understand the sport of rodeo.

In the sport of rodeo, you own the equivalent of like a gym or a training facility, which is what my dad did.

And it was an indoor facility, which meant like weather, rain, sleet, snow.

You could still train, you could still practice, which 30 years ago was like pretty much non-existent.

Not a lot of those around.

So people would come and train with my dad.

Well, I grew up in that environment.

So I had to eat, sleep, and breathe being a rodeo competitor or be basically an outcast within my own family.

And so for me,

there was no prom.

There was no hanging out with buddies.

There was no just like chilling.

It was like from 6 a.m.

to 11 o'clock at night every single day.

That's what you did.

Wow.

And my dad one day, he comes to me, says, hey, Tyson, I see you working.

It's like, I know you're working on the road.

You're feeding the animals.

You're cleaning the stall.

You're doing all this stuff.

He said, but I don't see you working on your craft as much as you should be.

I'm like, what do you mean, dad?

I'm working.

He's like, yeah, you're doing all the busy work.

Like people in life have busy work.

He said, but you're not doing what will move the needle ahead.

I said, all all right, dad, what do you expect?

He's like, well, you live on your own.

You figure it out.

So every day from that point all through high school, it's 4:30 a.m.

I got up, trained for an hour and a half, then fed all the animals, then went to school, got out of school, then did what was called like horseshoeing, like clipping the feet for people around was my first business.

Okay.

And you have to cut their nails?

Yeah, basically clipping the nails of the horses.

I didn't know they had to do that for that.

Yeah, yeah, it's just like clipping your ear toenails, but I could make like 50 bucks in an hour doing it in high school.

That's a lot at that age.

So i'm like i would go do that for a couple hours after school make me 150 200 bucks then i would come and i would train until like 11 o'clock maybe midnight and that would start the day over like my whole high school career was like four or five hours crazy it's crazy yeah i just went home after high school

i can't imagine that lifestyle at that age yeah so you never had time to just be a kid no no no my parents got divorced very young um my dad is a very rock hard like is maybe a lot of folks can picture like John Wayne or Clint Eastwood.

That was my dad.

I've never seen my dad without like a long-sleeve shirt, boots, cowboy hats, chew in his mouth, like hardcore cowboy, shake your hand, firm, look a man in the eye.

Like that was my dad.

And so I had really no choice but to take responsibility at a young age.

I don't know how, but somehow I correlated like effort and hard work and focus into success.

And then I treated my sport as like my way out.

Interesting.

Because we had had nothing.

We were very poor.

Matter of fact, when my mom and dad moved to the farm that we had, they moved into a barn on a dirt floor.

My mom was pregnant with me living in a barn on a dirt floor without running water.

Whoa.

And so that's the environment I grew up.

I looked at as like, this is my way out.

This is my way out to a great life, to have the money, to meet people like you.

If I don't have this title, I don't meet you.

I would encourage everybody, like, find your passion and work your tail off.

Yeah, I want to talk about the money aspect in rodeo.

So even though your dad was like the Floyd Mayweather rodeo, he wasn't making enough to pay for the bills.

Yeah, so he would be the trainer.

Okay.

He was the like Floyd's dad.

So he wasn't the Floyd.

He was the trainer.

Okay.

And so back then, there was no, really, no money in it.

It was a passion sport.

I mean, take a look at like football in the, you know, in the 30s and 40s.

There really wasn't any money in it.

Same with rodeo back when I was coming up.

There was no money in it.

It isn't until like the last 10 years where you can make a half a million bucks a year doing it.

And so

he was he loved it, he loved training horses, he loved the lifestyle.

All he ever wanted to be was a cowboy, and it was his avenue.

And he worked 18 hours a day just to break even.

Like, the wolf was always knocking at the door, which is not healthy because to medicate that, there was no like, hey, you know, uh, maybe you need to talk to a therapist.

It was like, hey, you know, have something to drink, you know, and get over it, cowboy.

Like, rub some dirt on it, toughen up.

And that's really not the right way to look at things.

right yeah

so rodeo a very interesting sport um i mean basically when you're on the you're trying to last as long as you can right yeah so there's seven events in rodeo there is uh three timed events couple riding events um and then there's barrel racing which is a girls event and so basically imagine like seven different sports in one sport like let's say you go to a sporting event or track and field and you have the 400 the 100 the the shot put throw the javelin the

pole vaulting.

That's what rodeo is.

So there's all these different events that are within the sport of rodeo.

And each one has their own individual rules.

That's why a lot of people, when they come to rodeo, they come to see excitement and maybe somebody get like wrecked out or hurt.

Because unless you know the sport, it takes a lot of time to figure out like all the nuances.

We're not like Neanderthals just like jumping on a bull or throwing a horse.

Like I've got 34,000 hours of practice doing what I do.

34,000 hours.

Crazy.

And Malcolm Gladwell's book, he says a professional has an average of 10,000 hours.

Right.

So, you know, do the math.

So what's the longest you've lasted on one of them?

Yeah, so I started out wanting to be a bull rider.

My dad was a bull rider and a tie-down roper.

Okay.

So a bull rider is the guy that rides a bull and

the bloopers videos you see on YouTube, somebody just getting wrecked out.

That's what I started out wanting to do was my dad was both.

When I was like 13, my dad was like, hey, you need to pick one.

And that's it.

He's like, I wouldn't ride bulls because there's no money in it and you'll get really hurt.

He's like, you should be a roper.

Well, I went the roping path and it's less dangerous, but I still have, like, I've broken both my collarbones.

I've got all fake teeth.

I've tore this knee up twice, snapped my left leg, shattered my left ankle.

I got a torn hamstring right now and a bulge disc in my back.

Now, I'll be 40 this year.

As a bull rider, I would have been hurt three or four times as bad as I am now as a bull rider.

So a tie-down roper is is a guy that like ropes the calf and then ties it up.

It's the original ambulance for animals.

So back in the day, we were in open ranges, no fences, like ranches, just free graze.

There was no like ownership of property when we came.

So if a calf needed an antibiotic to live, you had to rope it, tie it up, and then give it a shot.

And that's where my sport came from.

Got it.

Interesting.

Man, those are some serious injuries.

I didn't know it was like that.

Yeah.

What would you say were your peak years?

Because NBA players, they say age age 28 to 32 is like their prime.

You know, 30, like from 30 to about like 35, 36, I was in the peak.

Top five in the world all the time, knocking on world championships.

I had an incredible horse, and our national finals is here in Vegas, the Thomas and Mack Center.

So I've actually competed in Las Vegas 130 times.

Wow.

So that's 130 days of competition.

That's insane.

And

it's one of those things where

all your money as an athlete is at the finals.

So you might make $150,000 to get to the finals, but at the finals, you can make $250,000 or $300,000.

Plus, you have an opportunity to make all the sponsorships, which is a whole nother avenue.

So you make $250,000 plus the sponsorships.

Yeah.

So like the 2016, I won the world championship.

That year, I won about $250,000 at the finals alone with what I won in my bonuses, because there's bonuses and contracts.

You know this from NBA.

Like if you win a championship, you get this extra.

Same thing in our deal.

Like it was worth about $235,000 for me and the most I've ever won in like one run is a hundred and forty seven thousand

and so like for me coming from like nothing that's like I mean it might as well be ten million yeah like your lifestyle on the ranch I mean yeah you didn't even spend money on at that point yeah I mean you you can always get a bigger tractor

you can always get a bigger tractor but I'm just you know if you live the simple lifestyle it doesn't take as much yeah you know that's insane so how long do you plan on doing rodeo like are there guys doing it in their 40s 50s yeah not I mean depending on the event and in the bull riding, you're talking mid-30s is kind of your age.

I'm at the point now where I watched Michael Jordan,

Magic Johnson, guys like that coming up.

I'm like, hey, I don't want to be just know the broke athlete.

Yeah.

Because you look at the stats.

Athletes, when they get done, they're broke.

Three years, they're broke.

And so I'm like, I don't want that.

It's like, we might as well just leverage my name in the game.

to promote products and have businesses.

And so about 10 years ago, we started out building these businesses.

And now, when I leave the game, whenever that is, I'm slowing down because I want to be with my family more.

I can choose to, I don't have to age out.

It's the worst thing for an athlete to do is age out.

Leave when you're on a high because that's how people remember you.

I love that.

Yeah, because some athletes played way too long.

Too long.

And it ruined their legacy.

I agree with that.

So how do you plan on keeping your wealth now that you've made over 2 million with rodeo, right?

Yeah, so I have, I have basically,

and it doesn't really matter.

I'm not a money guy.

Like, I, I don't, it doesn't define me.

Um,

but

to have people look at you as status, you have to have something or have achieved something.

And so money is just a way to track what you've done and the amount of value that you provide to people.

And so for me, it's like, I've won a couple million

with rodeo.

I've made way more than that in endorsements.

And I made way, way, way more than that through the businesses that I've created.

From this point on, I want to continue teaching like Western ethics.

Look a man in the eye, affirm handshake, be kind and courteous, open the door for a lady, like things that I hate to say it, mainstream society have like gone away from.

I mean, I meet some of these young guys and I actually feel sad for them because they didn't have fathers in their lives teaching them how to shake a hand or like how to look somebody in the eye.

Dad was working 24-7, wasn't home.

Mom was trying her best and you know, I think their families were right, but they just weren't taught cowboy ethics.

And so like my goal now is to take the message of the cowboy to the world and then continue growing my businesses along with it.

Interesting.

Yeah.

What do you think of the hookup and player culture that's going on around right now?

I think it's disgusting.

It was very much that way when I grew up.

You know, my

dad, I hate to say, has been married three times.

And

I knew that if I want to have a lasting family, it takes work.

It takes effort.

It takes determination.

It takes loyalty.

It takes saying no to alcohol when there's maybe distractions around.

And I think it's disgusting.

I'm a, I mean, I love rap music.

I grew up on on Snoop Dogg.

I mean, you know, like,

but the messaging that puts out there is so degrading.

It is.

And I stopped listening to it.

I, I just, I, you know, I find myself listening to Lecrae now.

Lecrae's a Christian rapper.

Okay.

This dude spits.

He freaking spits.

But it's not about, hey, I did this to this lady.

It's about, hey, build a brother up.

And that's what I

prefer.

Now I'm 39.

I might be over the hill for some of these guys, but trust me, Instagram my wife, take a look what she's like, what my family's like, what my kids are like, and like, understand that that takes work.

Yeah.

You know, building that is far more valuable than who you can sleep with in 10 minutes.

So were you always a family man or were in your younger years?

Totally a player.

You were a player.

Yeah, I'm transformed.

Okay.

Like, I was totally a player.

In my 20s, the only thing that I ever seen growing up was like, I seen pornography at six years old.

Whoa.

Six years old, I was introduced to it.

That's crazy.

Mom and dad split up.

I was raised on Playboys and Hustlers, the magazines.

Yeah.

In an environment where there were no females.

It was all men on the ranch.

So dirty jokes, drinking whiskey, you know, how tough you are, who beat who up.

Like that was what I was raised with.

And that was 100% wrong.

100% wrong.

It wasn't until I met my wife, I said, this is an incredible human being.

This is who I want to spend the rest of my life.

Okay, what does that look like?

I had to stop looking at those distractions and start thinking like hey, I need to model it after this couple that's been together 40 years.

So I go up and I ask them, I say, hey, how you been together for 40 years?

Son, let go of your pride.

Let go of what you think you need to be a man and live your life in an act of service and love for your family, and you'll never have a problem.

Wow.

Yeah, that's interesting because like a lot of people I grew up with, they would say you're like a loser if you didn't get with a bunch of girls.

Exactly.

Like the number.

You remember the number?

Like, I don't know if you guys had a number in high school.

It was like, how many?

Like, what's the number?

Yeah.

That's so stupid.

It's

so stupid.

Because, you know, you feel kind of pressured to just get out there and hook up with a bunch of people, but that's not what everyone wants.

The first time I was ever with a woman was the worst experience of my life.

Really?

Yeah, it ruined it for me.

Why?

Because it was 100% pressured.

It was at a party.

There was tons of people around.

And I just did it because I thought that's what I was supposed to do.

Not knowing that that behavior would crush the emotions emotions of many people to come.

Wow.

And it was stupid because a man, he wants to conquer.

He wants to feel empowered.

He wants to feel strong.

A woman just wants a relationship and to be secure.

That's what she wants to know.

She's got a guy that she can count on forever.

And when they give that away to somebody, they're looking for that partner.

The whole thought of this TikTok, shake your butt to get views is degrading.

American society.

It is.

Because think about that.

These girls at 13, 14, 15, 16 years old doing this shake, and then they have some 40 year old dude or 50 year old dude like sending them presents for doing it It's reinforcing that behavior now.

What does that girl grow up to be?

She thinks her self-worth is what she can shake.

What happens when she doesn't have anything to shake anymore?

Right.

She thinks she's worthless.

She hasn't found that love and that connection.

And men who think that all they need to do is just wheel in there and you know do what they want, it's disgusting and it shows a low competency rate for their brain.

I have two daughters.

I have a

two-year-old son, a four-year-old daughter, and a six-year-old.

And so

because I was a player, I know what spot.

Like, and I will tell you straight up, Sean, the worst decision of my life.

I wish I would have met my wife Young.

Like what you have.

That's real.

It's,

and I get emotional about it because

you need a ride or die.

You need a woman that's willing to just stick by you, whether you have 10 million bucks or that she'll sleep under a bridge with you.

And everybody's focused on the floss, the Bentley, the stuff, and it's a complete illusion.

Because the moment you don't have it, they're gone.

It's no good.

Yeah, I love that.

Ariel's been with me from the beginning since I was broke.

So I know she's a real one.

I've spent some time talking to her, and I just think she's awesome.

So how are you going to handle TikTok and social media with your kids?

Are you going to allow them to have access to it or no?

I think it boils back to good parenting.

Right?

Good foundation.

Good human being.

Like, understand you have self-worth.

It'll start with me regulating, obviously, what they're on.

I want to see it.

10, 11, 12 years old.

This is a great question because I hadn't really thought about it.

But to be honest with you, I'm going to be involved.

My kids are going to come to me when they have problems, not run away.

See, I was trained by fear, the iron fist.

You do this, you're grounded.

I'll knock the crap out of you.

That teaches your children to run away from you when they have problems.

I want my kids to come to me.

Now, I'm strong and I'm firm, but they know that anything, they come to dad, they come to mom.

Right.

And if they get approached, like we already had these conversations with my six-year-old, hey, if anybody ever, you know, touches in your private or anything like that, you can come tell me.

Even if they say don't tell anybody, you can come tell dad.

You've not done anything wrong.

These are tough conversations that men don't want to have.

Right.

Right?

Yeah.

And

if you're not willing to do it for your family, man, who are you willing to do it for?

Yeah.

Are you planning on sending them to public school?

So funny.

Ariel and I had this conversation.

I ask a lot of dads this question because I think about it.

I don't even have kids yet.

Yeah, yeah, definitely not.

Yeah.

I do not believe in the public school system.

I think a lot of teachers

have the right outlook, but are handcuffed to do things a certain way.

I think you learn by doing.

I don't think you learn by just saying, this is how you do it.

Study, memorize, all this stuff.

I'm ADD and dyslexic man.

By textbook terms, I'm dumb.

Like I'm not smart, but I speak three languages.

I'm a world champion.

I speak in front of 5,000 people at a time.

It's because I learned by doing and not saying no.

A lot of people are like, I don't want to do that.

It's uncomfortable.

It's scary.

I don't want to put that 100,000 out there because I may not get it back.

Well, the reward comes on the other side of the risk.

And so my kids, I don't want them to live a quiet life.

They're meant to be champions.

They're meant to be bold.

And you can't learn that in the public school system.

And if a person comes through the system and has that, it was in them to start with.

Right.

I agree, man.

It's crazy because, so I'm part Asian, obviously, but when I went to school, I didn't get the best of grades.

So I got bullied because, you know, Asians, they take school really seriously, get A's.

So I thought I was dumb like my whole life.

And that's not right because there's knowledge in other areas, like you said.

100%.

It's not just all about books.

You know, John D.

Rockefeller set up the school system in America.

Do you know that?

I didn't know that.

Yeah.

He put the equivalent of what's up, like

$1.3 billion to set up the school system in America.

Wow.

When he set it up, he said, I don't want a nation of thinkers.

I want a nation of workers.

The school system hasn't changed that much.

Wow.

Yeah, they're teaching you to get a to five basically yeah which is handcuffs yeah like invisible handcuffs yeah they don't they don't promote entrepreneurship they make fun of it it's ridiculous yeah did you go to college i went for technically yes i had a full ride scholarship um

yeah sir yeah i was uh i was blessed enough to win the state championship all the time and so they recruited me i did the whole thing i did what i thought i was supposed to do I got to college and I was like, man, I want to be the best in the world.

I want to be the best in the planet.

And I'm not doing that drinking beer and hanging out in like sororities and frat houses.

Like, no, it's not me.

So I dropped out.

I was enrolled for a semester.

I made it about four weeks and then I quit.

I just quit going to class.

Yeah.

Simple as that.

Yeah, I lasted about a year or two.

And look where you're at.

Yeah.

Like,

college does not define you.

If you think that you have to go to college to be successful, you're living a dream that your parents have fed you or somebody has fed you.

You're not thinking for yourself.

Now, on the flip side if you want to be a doctor and serve humanity or do something amazing go to college if you don't if you're meant to be a media person if you're meant to invent a technology that's gonna go crush it and change the world freaking do that yeah Elon Musk says it the best like I'm interested in what people can do not what their accolades are yeah he doesn't even care about college experience when he hires I like that I think more people should really take that into consideration yeah 100% I agree I mean I don't see any value other than the networking maybe

in college.

But Instagram is the best network.

Yeah, you got Instagram these days, so you don't really need to pay 50K a year to network.

Yeah, can I give like a little tip to like anybody that's wanting to get in front of somebody like Sean or myself or anybody?

Yeah.

Like the number one thing a young person can do is provide value for the other person.

Like

I have people DM me left and right.

Hey, can you do this for me?

Can you do that for me?

And like you, you probably get hundreds of DMs all the time.

But when somebody slides into my DMs, like, like, hey, man, I took all your Instagram videos, I remixed them into this really cool reel.

I just want you to have, this is the work that I can do.

And they just give, they send it to me, they do all the work.

They aren't waiting for direction.

They just go and take the reins and do it.

They make themselves so

valuable to me that I can't say no to them.

Absolutely.

And so for a young person or anybody out there, like if you want to get to network people like this, go to Sean's IG.

Go to my IG.

Go to anybody, anybody you look up to.

Create a badass reel.

like make sure it's badass, and send them like five of them.

Hey, this is free.

I don't want nothing for it.

I just love what you're doing, and then they will feel

like they have to owe you something, like they want to help you, right?

Like a young kid that's willing to crush it, you want to help, man.

Yeah, I mean, don't you?

Yeah, dude.

That's some of the best advice I've heard.

I mean, if someone sent me five sick videos, I would love that because of the pain, right?

It's not easy to produce and do what he's doing, you guys.

So that's just one way.

Make yourself so valuable that the influencer, the important person cannot say no to you.

Yeah, I love that.

I want to touch up on brand deals because you made over a million dollars from sponsors and brand deals.

Not a lot of people have done that.

I haven't even done that.

What are some tips you can give people for that?

I just gave you one.

There we go.

Yeah.

But that's a broader thing.

So when I approached Cinch Jeans, right?

So Cinch, and I have, I'm contractually not able to say like how much I made over a period of time, but it's probably six figures from

roughly and so

I approached them five years in a row hey this is what I'm doing hey this is how I can provide value for a brand hey I'm the top five in the world they kept saying no to me no no no no no but I kept in their ear see we're all about instant gratification right now in today's society yeah that's the wrong thing to think about that's the exact wrong way to do it come with service like on their notifications, click on their notification and get notified every single time they post, and they'd be the first person to post back on every single comment and do that for six months.

Provide value, send DMs to them.

Say, hey, this is why I like your brand.

Oh, by the way, I shot this awesome video.

I want to just did it for you and I tagged you.

Again, you're putting so much goodwill out there.

Yeah.

That is the law of reciprocity.

It has to come back to you.

And that's how I've gotten Toro Mowers, the largest mowing company in America, Savage Arms, Cinch, Polaris Range.

I mean,

and so, like,

you don't have to be a world champion.

You just have to come with such a sense of service, especially if you command a few eyeballs.

These companies will be compelled to do something with you.

Oh, yeah.

No, it's pretty insane what you can

get accomplished.

I just got a free cruise.

Incredible.

I'm going to hook you up with a, yeah, out of Miami.

I'd love to.

Save me $5,000.

Wow.

Yeah.

Not bad.

That's incredible.

But Tyson, it's been a pleasure, man.

We got to wrap this up.

Any closing comments or where people could find you?

Yeah, IG, Facebook, but I want everybody to know that

you're special.

You may not come from where I come from, you may not come from the Western lifestyle, but you have unique talents and abilities that it's built inside you that God gave you for you only, and it's up to you to develop them.

And just know that, like,

you can be the Sean, you can be the Tyson, you can be the Floyd, you can be the greatest version of yourself, and never let anybody ever tell you you can't.

I love that digital social hour.

Thanks for tuning in, guys.

I'll see you next week.
