A good interview is when you get to know your guest along with your audience. Most people want you to change because they don’t have the ability to change. Trust, value, and credibility. Everyone has a super power, but people are too focused on other peoples’ that they neglect their own. Most that have overnight success, won't last ten years. You don’t know how to connect or relate to people that aren’t you. You can’t stand for culture if you’ve never stood in culture. Pay attention to the messenger, not the message. You need to treat your life the same way you treat your business. None of the stuff in your life will be dope if you’re not dope. To enter this circle, you must first show respect for yourself.   Follow Clinton @ClintonSparks  Learn more about him at https://Clintonsparks.com Watch the full video episode on Brad’s Rumble here: https://rumble.com/c/c-2544182  Watch the full video episode on Brad’s Youtube Here: https://bradlea.tv
