in a man's eyes, it's fucking painful.

Because you can't do shit about it.

When you're 90 and you're not mobile

and you're tired and it's over,

you can't do it.

You can't build that company you wanted.

You can't spend your time with your kid.

It's regret. - [Man] Yeah.

- And it drives the shit out of me.

Look, I think failure has to be quantified.

If you fail that you can never get up from it again,

you know, that's not a good failure.

I think failure and adversity

are the two things I think about.

For me as an entrepreneur,

and very entrepreneurial and always in my own stuff

all the failures along the way,

even going back to the baseball card show when I was 13

that I paid $400 for a table and nobody showed up

to that baseball card show, that was a learning lesson.

Those micro-failures were super, super important.

It depends on your stomach, right?

If you really go out of business

I think people take one of two ways, right?

They're like just finished and

they're never able to get off the mat

and they go in a different direction.

So to me, I think quantifying the failure's important to me.

They got to change, they got to evolve.

Madonna did it right.

She reinvented herself 14 times.

That's why she had a long career.

You know, you got to reinvent yourself.

Let's talk about sports.

When you're the best athlete and you're like the guy,

and you're like one of the top 15 players,

Draymond Green, he's my buddy.

Draymond really worked on his game every offseason.

Ricky Rubio, the flashy point guard from Minnesota.

If he developed his outside shot,

he would have been a much bigger player.

He had all the passing skills,

the quickness, he's got everything

if instead of going to Ibiza

and fucking chicks in the offseason he worked on

his 18-foot jumper he'd be in the game.

If you have ambition,

your actions have to match that.

And too many people are just not putting in the work.

Their mouth is way ahead of their fucking actions.

Like, really?

You're gonna be the greatest NBA player of all time?

Why 'cause you think you got a little handle on the weekends?

You need to shoot 15,000 free throws

before school every day.

What did you do from Friday 5 P.M. until Monday 7 A.M.?

I'm just curious and I don't think you shouldn't

have a weekend but I think everybody's

ambition actually is more predicated on their actions

than their words.

My friends tell me all the time they're so ambitious

and I'm like, "If that's true, then you punt leisure

"and you punt concerts at Jones Beach and you work."

I realize what's going on here.

One life.

I realize that I'm living like this is our only at-bat

and most of you aren't.

People fuckin' walking around here like they're coming back.

People fuckin' walking around here like they're coming back.

You're not coming back.

Well, listen, I don't wanna impose my beliefs on others.

Maybe you believe we come back.

I believe you come back you come back as a tree

or a flower pot or DRock's sneakers

and that blows compared to being a human.

And so, I'm acting that way.

I'm acting that way.
