how we became a great communicator and to learn two of his main principles, the law of harvest and the miracle mindset. We'll also then uncover how to find true direction in your life and we'll get his recipe for overcoming difficult setbacks, especially in the era of COVID-19. Hi, Tim. Welcome to Young and Profiting Podcast. What a privilege to be on your show today. I am so excited to talk to you. You have so much going on.

So you are an extremely successful minister, life coach, author, and speaker. You're known as the comeback coach. You've worked with a multitude of celebrities, including Robert Downey Jr., Quincy Jones, Kanye West, just to name a few. You've inspired millions of people. You've traveled to over

75 countries, and you are also featured on Oprah's Soul Sunday. And now you've even dabbled into movie and Broadway production. So you do a whole lot of things. So for my listeners who may not be familiar with you, Tim's story, what is the red thread between all of these activities? Like what is your true calling and your purpose in life and what connects the dots between all of these activities? Like, what is your true calling and your purpose in life and what connects the dots between all of these activities? I love that question.

So the idea of the thread that connects is I am a humanitarian. I love the underdog because I was the underdog. I am drawn to the person that has a setback. It doesn't know how to have a comeback. So even since I'm a little kid, I love the underdog. So you see that all the way across everything I do. Though that's amazing. And speaking of you wanting to be a humanitarian from my understanding, when you were 18 years old, you got very influenced by Mother Teresa, right? And so, for my listeners who don't know you, you grew up in Compton, you were 18 years old,

you were extremely athletic, not the typical thing for an athletic, you know, young man to wanna go do, to wanna go to seminary school, become a priest or whatever you were aiming to do, and become a humanitarian. So, what was it about Mother Teresa that you just got so inspired

to change the whole direction of your life? So it happened my senior year of high school. There was a young lady that I really respected and were so great friends to this day. And she was reading this book about the life of Mother Teresa. And I noticed her on campus, she'd be reading it and I saw the cover.

So I asked her, you know, what is it about? So she explained and she goes, you should read it. She goes, this is kind of like how you are. So that's an awesome thing about life. Sometimes it's observation and conversations that can change your direction. Because my direction was I wanted to go to USC and I wanted to be a communications major

and be an entertainment. And so I read this book and I got so touched on how one lady who was a nun helped all these orphans and then helped tens of thousands of orphans throughout her lifetime. So I decided after really thinking about it, meditating on it, decided to go to seminary and my life just continued to change. That's amazing. And so now you're really well known for being like a huge motivational speaker.

And at the time when you went to seminary school, did you know that you were a good communicator or did you kind of like fall into that? How did that happen? I knew I was just a young person with an idea. And I love to talk about this because I think sometimes in life we decide and sometimes we discover. So I wish I could just say that I set back and I just decided that I would

be well known. No, I just kind of like kept discovering things. So when I was in seminary, a friend of mine said, Hey, Tim, I'm supposed to be teaching at this ROTC class on the Bible. It's a group of about 30 men. I can't do it tonight. Can you do it? I mean, a favor and do it. I go, no, no, I'm not a talker. It's a true story. I'm not a talker. And it goes, Tim, I really need you to do it. So I did him a favor and I did it. And I had these guys laughing so hard. And I didn't know that I had that charisma on stage. And then I had the ability to make people laugh. And so they said, you know, we love the other guy, but can we get you next week as well? And that's how it started.

Wow, that's amazing. And so I assume it was lots of hard work and practice and experience. And one of the most interesting things that I've heard you say and something that really spoke to me because I think it's like everything that I believe in. It's this concept of the law of the harvest. And you quote the proverb, 12-11, he who works land shall have abundance whoever chases fantasies lacks wisdom. And so I think a lot of millennials need to hear this. People think like, oh, I have a dream. That means it's going to happen. But really, dreams require a lot of hard work. And to accomplish your goals, you need to really put in the legwork. And so we live in a world where everything looks like an overnight success.

You look on social media, you think, oh, they just fell into it. And that could be me. And everybody wants to get rich quick. So talk to us about the law of harvest because I think this is so profound. I love it. Thank you. I love young people's energy. And I'm surrounded by young people who work with me on projects,

like from 17, 18 on. Because I love the creative energy. But I think this is one thing that draws them to me. We have people from all over the world trying to come to us in L.A. to do an internship with us because they love my discipline. And the whole idea is dreaming is easy. But to do the dream is a whole different thing. Walt Disney walked into an amusement park in the 30s

and he said, one day, I wanna build my own amusement park. Mine's gonna be different, better, and more magical. Well, the thing about Walt Disney that I love is that as I begin to study him, his work ethic was at the next level. So he really practiced these principles of the law of the harvest that you described, which is if you want a harvest, if you want to create Disneyland as he did in the 60s, after he saw the vision of it, you first have to plow the ground, then you have to plant the right seed, then you have to water the seeds that's every single day your hustling, and then you're going to

reap a harvest. But then the proverb says, if you chase fantasies, then you lack wisdom, and you're going to reap a harvest. But then the proverb says, if you chase fantasies, then you lack wisdom. And you're right. We have a lot of people, even my age, that are still chasing fantasies to the stay, but you got a plow, you got a plant, you got a water, and then pay days on its way. Yeah. Yeah. And so when I was thinking about this, I also heard you talking about something called the miracle mindset. And you always talk about how having the right mindset is necessary. And it made me think that like in this whole analogy in terms of a farm, like the sun is kind of like your mindset at the end of the day, you can't do everything when you're in the dark, right? And so you also need the light. So tell us about,

what is a miracle mindset? What kind of a perspective do we need to have in order to be, you know, as productive as possible and move towards our goals? So the mindset is so, so important because it's not just to rhyme, but truly the mindset will create a mood set. So if you tell a little kid that he's going to do something exciting the next day, you've now put something in his mind and it's created a mind set. His mind is set on something. And so the mindset creates the mood set. Oh my gosh, now I'm happy. I get to do this thing tomorrow. So what I become a master at is creating my own mindset. Because when we were kids in Compton, California, we had seven people in a two bedroom apartment, which is very, very crowded. And then we had seven people in a Volkswagen Bug, which is called illegal. You're not supposed to have that man.

So I created my own mindset through the realm of imagination. So I started seeing things on TV, predominantly Disney things that we would see. They would come on Sunday nights, and my older sisters would watch. And my mind just started taking off. So my mindset became beyond. I was thinking beyond, dreaming beyond. So my mindset changed my mood set that even though I was in cramped and crowded places, my sisters used to say, this guy, he walks like he's a king, but we were poor, but it was my mindset. Yeah. And so for those people who are struggling to have this strong mindset, if they find them

having themselves negative thoughts all the time and they just can't get out of it, like, what's your advice there? So I'm going to be good at this question because I've just spent three years writing a book as you know called the Miracle Mentality that comes out March 1st with Harper Conds. So literally three years I've been writing with an amazing editor like holy schmolley this guy's so good teachers have Princeton. But here's what happens. In my travels I found out that people usually live in these categories. What I call the messy, the shoveled, the mundane, which is like the regular, the status quo, or many times lived in the madness. So they lived in the messy where their life was just disheveled. Okay?

Or some lived in the mundane where it's just mundane, day after day after day, with no break. And then some lived in the madness. And I found that if you are constantly in the messy and the madness, it's hard to make room for the magic. You've got to make room for magic. And so I teach people, my seminars, don't sprinkle magic on your messy. Like, oh my gosh, I'm going with my girls. We're going to Vegas, but you're like all living a messy life, but you're going to sprinkle like a magical weekend. I mean, that's great because you need to rest and live, but we got to deal with your mess to make some permanent room for magic. That's where I'm good. Yeah. Wow, I can't wait till that book comes out. We're going to have to have

you back on here, Tim. So let's go back to working the land because I think this is like, I don't know why. It really touched me because I just feel like it's so true. You just need to work at what's actually in front of you in the moment. And I heard you on an interview with Grand Cardone and you were talking about the importance of living in the moment. So how does living in the moment relate to working your land? So when I was a kid at 15 and a half, I got my first job as a dishwasher. And I remember the cook used to make fun of me,

because he would say, Timmy, why are you watching these dishes like you own the place? And I remember I was just so happy about having this job. So I was just hustling. I was plowing, I was planting good seed, I was watering, and I would show up early every single day, just plowing, planting, watering. So the owner of Mr. Anderson saw this, and he said, Timmy, I wanna put you from dishwasher to busboy, and so that was like a big deal.

And I'll never forget that as a busboy, I was hustling, doing the same thing. I was plowing, I was planting, I was planting, I was watering, I was plowing, planting, watering. And then different owners of restaurants would come into this nice restaurant I was working at and they would try to hire me. So I said to Mr. Anderson,

now you know these friends of yours are trying to give me jobs. He goes, no, I know. He goes, Tim, because you're a hustler. He goes, I can't believe your mindset. And you're so happy about it. I said, but I'm loyal to you. So he kept that loyalty and kept me there until I was 17.

And then I went and worked at a really good restaurant called Jimmy's that a lot of people wanted to work that a really good restaurant called Jimmy's that a lot of people wanted to work at. But it was that plowing, that planting, that watering, but I was in the moment. I was fully present, fully feeling, fully alive. When I was a dishwasher, bam, I was there. Busboy, bam, I was there. Waiter, bam, I was there. So I think it's important, mostly for young people, to be in the moment, fully present, fully feeling, fully alive. Don't just do it to get you there, just do it, and excel where you are.

Yeah, and also don't worry about where you're gonna go next, right? So like, for example, when I was younger and I was in my internship, so I just focused on my internship. I didn't worry about like, oh, am I going to get the job or oh, I wish I was an employee already. It doesn't matter. You've got to focus up the task at hand and where you are at hand and feel confident and happy that you're there, right? No, I like what you're saying there. And let's just stop there for a moment if you don't mind.

Because I think that you have really figured this out because if you plow the ground, plant the seed, water the seed, you're gonna get a harvest. And what I have found is that people came looking for me. I don't go knock on everybody's door to get in places. You know, people always say like, how did you get in with Oprah? I mean, like she's one of get in places. People always say, like, how did you get in with Oprah? I mean, like she's one of my great friends.

How did you get in with Steve Harvey and do a 20 city tour? How did you get in with him or her or bam or boom or boom or bam? I never looked for one person. I was working my land. I was just loving people, coaching people, helping people, being a humanitarian, and these people look for me. Yeah, I totally really, I always talk about this on my podcast, just having good, pure

intentions and just focus and dedication, just can bring so much opportunity. I can really with my podcast, I started this podcast two years ago. And then I turned it into a podcast marketing agency. And literally I haven't pitched one client. It's all come from referrals or people who've come on my show. They're just so impressed. And they just want to work with me. And so I can definitely relate to that because I don't even have a website for my business. And we're doing so well. And it's all just because of the hard work and proof that I've like put out in the world. It's like the actual proof that's out there. One hundred percent. And so even like our team, when we were talking about me being on this

podcast, one of my main people kept saying, you're going to love her. She's a big deal. And I noticed that he doesn't say that about everybody. And some of them are really like big podcasts or radio shows, whatever. But you can't call on you a big deal. And the reality is to get people that are doing well, to come on and want to dialogue with you, that's because there's a connection that we we feel a kindred heart with you of a person that is paid the price and you continue to pay the price. You're plowing, you're planting, you're watering. But let me tell you something about payday. Payday, man, when it comes, some of you young people listen, it can get so good, it can be weird.

That's a great thing about my life is I get to be behind the scenes. I've talked to Justin Timberlake before he made it. To talk to people like Jessica Simpson when she was 16, when she'd come to Tim's story meetings and say, I have a dream. Well, we didn't know she was going to run a company worth about $400 million. So I love it that I get to be behind the scenes before somebody blows up. That's amazing. Oh my gosh, there's so much to talk about. Let's talk about plowing the wrong land. Is it possible to work the wrong land? And how do you know when you're working the wrong land? Okay. So people say, Tim, story, how do I find direction in my life? You got to stop

You got to look You got to listen So people say we'll follow your heart, but we got to make sure your heart is purified So if you have the wrong things in your heart, let's not follow your heart and take you the wrong places But if your intentions are correct, I like that word you use earlier and your heart has the right motives, right? Then when you stop you can look within and your heart is trying to talk to you Why because your dream has a voice? So powerful your dream has a voice. So powerful. Your dream has a voice. And there's times that you're going to date somebody. Some of you guys are watching. And your heart is telling you,

no, but you do it anyway. So in those cases, you need to follow your heart. And so I feel that you can plow in the wrong areas. And if you feel like you've started to do that, whether it's a major, you've started in college or jobs once you got out or a relationship you've been in for a long time, it's not working, you need to stop again, look again and listen again. Yeah. And just one more question on this, like, what about, my listeners are young, right? And so a lot of the times when you're growing up,

it's your outside influences telling you what you need to be doing with your life. Like, for example, my dad was a doctor. He actually didn't pressure me to be a doctor, but my siblings felt very pressured to be doctors, right? And my sister specifically wanted to be an interior designer, and always thinks, like, always kind of looks at, like, oh, if it wasn't for a mom and dad, I would have been an interior designer.

But now I'm a doctor, which is amazing, but she complains, right? And so, what about when you're getting all this pressure, what do you suggest, how do you kind of own that and take control of your life? Yes, so number one, I think the kind of pressure you were getting is almost good pressure because like your dad like set the bar high

and so I don't really like blame certain parents that go like, you know, I created this empire and go here or I created this and go here because I started off mentoring and tutoring and life coaching Famous people's kids like the most famous celebrities you can imagine their kids I started mentoring them when they were like young kids, okay? And then I saw them grow up and do big things a lot of them and So many times if the dad or mom did great in a certain position

They would want the child to go there because they had paved the way. I believe this, that you could be the right person with the right plan, but you need the right partners. You need the right partners who are not just trying to take you, how they see life from their vantage point, their point of view, their mindset, but they're willing to listen to your heart and your calling, because I think the calling calls you. So, I mean, I see you right now. You are like right in the

middle of your calling. No, thank you. Right now, you're just like flying. You're like, calling. Oh, thank you. Right now you're just like flying. You're like, this is me, right? Thank you. Yeah. I really feel that way. So I'm glad that you did not become a doctor. I'm glad that you are doing this. You're going to be a writer, your speaker, your humanitarian, your global leader. That's what I see in your future. So I'm glad you're that because we need you to be that. Thank you, Tim. So let's take it back to your childhood. You're known as the comeback coach, right? And I think one of your first big comebacks happened when you were very young and it's I hate we're so positive. I hate to bring it there, but I think it's a lesson for the listeners, right? And so when you were 10 years old, you lost your father, you lost your sister shortly after that.

And it turns out your siblings dealt with this loss a lot differently than you did. So tell us about how your siblings dealt with it and how you dealt with it and why you think you were able to kind of deal with it in a more positive way. So I think it's something that happens to all of us in not the same way, but it's something that I've been talking about for 20 years called life interruptions. Where an interruptions is when you're disturbed, somebody knocks at your door of life and interrupts you with many things that we would have never ordered from life's menu. It could be asthma, I've seen people with lupus or Lyme disease or just something bad happens

in your childhood. For me, my father went to get my mother food and so he was just going through a green light and it was at night time in January and blessed this guy's heart. He ran a red light, hit my father and my father died. So the thing that was challenging is my father was the one that had really good energy in the family. My mother was stronger, my mother is Latin. Everything is like the way she does life,

not all Latins, because I'm part Latin. But the way she does life, it was that, because I'm part Latin. But the way she does life, it was more like just strong willed. So we needed the energy of my father. When that was taken, it was like it was sucked out. Okay. And so that life interruption was something that my siblings did not know what to do with. So most of them just got up and ran. They ran to like friends homes or ran to a boyfriend because they're much older than me. My brother, he ran to his friends. So a lot of times it's just me in my mother who worked at a donut shop who were in this house together and it was really a sad situation. But what I did is I used my imagination again, remember the power of the imagination.

And I began to imagine things. And this is a real story. I told my mother when I was 12. I said, Mom, do not worry. I said, when I am in my mid 20s, it's so strange that I said that you will never worry about money again. And that's exactly what happened. Oh, yeah. And so you talk about comebacks, you know, all over the world. It's one of your main speaking topics. What is your formula for getting out of a setback? So when you're in a setback, the first thing you have to do is you have to become awake. So when you're in a setback, the first thing you have to do is you have to become awake. When you're in a setback, you want to, many times, pull the blinds, pull the covers over your head, and just hope it's just gone. But number one, you have to become awake.

Secondly, you have to take inventory. So you got to think like, you know, now that she left or now that he left or now that they left, what am I going to she left or now that he left or now that they left, what am I going to do? What do I have left here? So you become awake. Secondly, you take inventory. The third thing you need to do is do what they're doing right now. They need to partner with power.

Listen to people that have answers. Listen to people who know what it's like to go through things that are similar as far some sort of a setback. So you have to partner with power. Then the next thing you do number four is you have to find the right principles because I believe it's principles that get you through the problems. It's not hype, it's not just positive energy, it's not just mindset, but the right principles can get you through any problem. Okay? So you become aware, you take inventory, partner with the right people, get the right principles, and then what do you do next?

You proceed. You go forward. I am all about going forward. Oprah loves this quote and she said to me, she goes, Tim, I love this one when you talk about a comeback is not a go back. Because a lot of people, when they have a setback, they think I got to go back and fix it all, but a comeback is not a go back. So when you've done all those steps that I said, let's go forward, let's proceed. Young and profitors, do you have a brilliant business idea, but you don't know how to move forward with it?

And so it's no wonder that over 520,000 podcasters trust them as well.

Podbean Podcast Hosting distributes your podcast to all major destinations, and like I mentioned, it's really their analytics features that are truly unmatched. I own a podcast marketing agency, and so I'm familiar with all the other big platforms. No other platform from what I've seen that you drill down like Podbean does. I can compare episode performance. I can see the download source breakdown to understand where my audience is listening from, I can see what day and times are listening, and I can even check out where they're listening from and not only by country but also by the US state they're listening from as well.

Podbean provides a full array of podcast monetization tools. You can monetize using podbeens built in dynamic advertising system or patron program. And you can also create a fully customizable website using their platform as well. And I'm pleasantly surprised to always hear listeners telling me that they found me from that website. I bet there's so many of you out there thinking about starting a podcast for the new year.

You guys have a new year's resolution to start a podcast. If you're serious, why don't you make the commitment real and head over to podbean.com slash app to give pod bean a shot and get one month of free hosting. It's just $9 a month for professional and secure hosting. And if you're a current podcaster who's outgrown your free and basic hosting provider, I suggest you upgrade and head over to podbean.com, Sasha for one month of free hosting.

I'll stick the link in my show notes. Happy podcasting. I think that's such great advice. And so it's a very uncertain world, right? We're living in COVID. A lot of people are dealing with so many setbacks that once like divorce, sickness, financial issues. It's like every setback that you can think of, some people are impacted.

My whole family got COVID and my father passed away back in May. And it was so tough. I'm lucky that, you know, there's a lot of great things going for me. I was able to kind of, you know, use that death as motivation and everything that my father accomplished, as motivation to keep me going in my life, but I don't think a lot of people are as strong or has had such a lucky structure in their life, right? So what about the people who are so directly impacted by COVID, whether they've lost their job, whether they got sick, whether somebody died, or maybe all of them have.

Okay, so first of all, let me just say this, that it's so amazing that you have this positive outlook on life when your father just passed just literally months ago. So, and I love the way you're honoring him as a great man that I believe that you say that he is. And so I am sorry for your loss. I mean that with all my heart. And I think that the fact that you have decided to have the right mindset of, you know, that life is not always black, it's not always white,

sometimes it's great. Sometimes life is great. And we don't really understand things. And so let's just take it there for a minute because I feel like there's a lot of people you guys are going through as she said multiple things at once. It could be your job, your finances, your relationships, whatever it is. But the best way to deal with that is one room at a time. So if I'm coaching somebody and they have a five room life and it seems like there's a mess in every room. How do you clean up a messy house that has five messy rooms, one room at a time, one room at a time. So we need to breathe life into the first room and you get it correct. And then it gives you faith to go breathe life into the second room. And

then it becomes more correct. And then you breathe life into the third room. Yes. I love that. Thank you. So, you've been known to be a comeback coach for celebrities, right? Everybody knows that about you. They see you with Oprah and Kanye and all these big stars, but it turns out that you've also helped a lot of people who are just regular people. People who wanted to be stars, who became, you who became homeless and prostitutes in LA and things like that. So do you have any memorable stories that really stick out to you in terms of somebody that you helped that isn't necessarily celebrity or they could be a celebrity, whatever really

just sticks out to you right now in the moment? You know, the skills, the tools and the attitude are the thing that's gonna take you from almost to most living. So my skills and my tools, they lie in the plates of, I'm a master locksmith. If somebody has a problem, ooh, I'm good. Like, what key is it gonna be?

You know, I can watch somebody on TMZ and I'll tell one of my assistants watch within a week their people are going to reach out to me. And I'm then I'm right. Like all day long, all the time. Because I am a really good locksmith, but I never tried to be the locksmith to the stars. The comeback coach to the stars.

That's, no, I love people. So I work with ARC, which would start it by my good friend, Robert Downey, in prison reform, I'm on the board, and then I work with Carrie Kasim. Kasim cares, the famous KC Kasim. It's for elder abuse. I do a lot of work in the area of mental health and addiction and also work with the homeless

because I love people. So one of my favorite stories, real quick, is I was going into, I'll give them a shout out, because maybe there'll be a sponsor someday, 7-11. I was going into 7-11 and I saw real sharp looking black young man who I later found out was 23 years of age, but very together and he was asking for money, was begging, but he did not look like a guy

that would be begging for money. So I asked him how long he'd been out here and he said, well, for two weeks. And I said, I said, you don't seem like a guy that would be doing this and he said, well, for two weeks. And I said, I said, you don't seem like a guy that would be doing this. And he said, well, I came here to be an actor and a lot of bad things happen. But can I just have some money? I said, well, I'm going to give you a lot of money. And then he said, how much it was so funny. And I said, I gave him the amount. And so it was a lot and his eyes got open. I said, but now you got to hear my speech I

Said okay, so why are you out here? And he told me that he had problems with being schizophrenic and Had so many stolen his stuff like his backpack and in there was his medication, so he didn't know where he was And I said are you hearing voices and he said, yes. I said, don't put yourself down. I said, this is what I do for a living. We're going to get it. You're going to be okay.

It's not your fault that you're not taking your medicine. So I said, what's your mother's phone number? And this is so powerful. And he goes, I don't know. I said, but what state are you from? So he tells me the state. And I'm really good with like with area codes So I go like this. Okay, I'm gonna call your mom true story

So I get my my phone. I hold it up and I go okay Area code is and I went bam bam bam. I was writing the first three because I know that state and There's now that I studied that there's a few area codes in that city that have changed through the years, but I was right on the on the one. So I said, boom, boom, boom. And then out of nowhere, he goes, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. It gives me the rest of the number, true story. So I call this number. A lady answers the phone.

She says, hello. I said, miss. I said, this is Tim Story. This is the God's honest truth. I said this, I in front of Oprah Winfrey, when I spoke for UCLA for Super Soul Sessions, with Deepak Chopra watching me, Brunei Brown and everybody else. The lady said, Tim Story,, the minister, I say yes.

I mean, think about how big the world is. It's almost eight billion people. I looked again for the music. Oh, it's almost eight billion people. For her to say that. And I go, yes. And she goes, what happened? I said, I have your son.

And she just starts weeping. She says, we thought we had lost him. We thought he was dead. I said, no, he's right here with me. This is one of my favorite stories ever, because he was lost, she was lost because he was lost. And it took somebody that was awake and that had been through his own pain

to say, Hey, I got, I got this. We ended up bringing him into a facility that I was connected to, getting him on the right track, getting him a doctor, a family member came a few days later, about three days later. And I wanted him to stay two days longer in this facility. We put the family member up in a hotel to tell he was ready to travel, change their life forever. That's amazing. And I feel like he must have felt that he was special or that, or maybe you feel that about everyone

that everybody can be kind of like. I felt it was somebody's son. So some man's son or some woman's son. And that's how I see people. Like, there's a guy close to my house. It's homeless and he's walks around. He gets mad at me. And I pull over next to him. I did it again, like three days ago. And then I give him money. and then I have my talk. And he goes, when are you going to get off my back? I'm not going in the shelter. I go, this I didn't even say anything about a shelter. I was just telling you how nice the weather is. But why do I keep pulling over because that's somebody's son. Or if I'm helping somebody a lady, it's somebody's daughter. Yeah. Yeah. You're such a good guy.

or if I'm helping somebody, a lady, it's somebody's daughter, yeah. Yeah, you're such a good guy. It's a good thing. Yeah. So you work with all of these celebrities and regular people. And when it comes to celebrities specifically, it goes to show that you could have all this money, all this fame, and you could still

be not happy with your life and just a mess, like messy, as you were talking talking about having a messy life. So you could still be so successful on paper. Look great. You're rich. You're successful. You've got a beautiful wife car, whatever it is. And then you're still unhappy. So you've seen it all. What do you think is really the secret of a happy and peaceful life then. I think it's a great build up and then great question. I think it's this idea of being true to yourself and truly being authentic. And you know that word is almost overused nowadays,

but authenticity is really a powerful thing. And I think what happens is a lot of these creatives that I'm around, which would be people that they would know, they started their craft many times with the right motives because they wanted to create, whether it was music or film or whatever they do, fashion, whatever they do, fashion, whatever they do, models. But then they got caught up in stuff, the system and being a celebrity. But here's what I teach a lot of young kids in schools, because I go speak at these schools for free and they get excited because I know all these people.

And I say that, you know, a lot of people want to be celebrities. I said, but you are a celebrity. A celebrity means to be celebrated. And you just have to find the right people that are celebrating you. And so when you learn to celebrate yourself and realize that there are some good people that celebrate you,

then you won't have such a hunger and a thirst for that other stuff. So I think the key is to be authentic, to be yourself, and to be really great at your craft. I love that. I agree. So I'm going to take a tangent here. 2020 has been a crazy year, especially for black people in America. Racism is totally alive and well.

George Floyd, Brianna Taylor, then we lost Chadwick Boseman. There's so many like downfalls that black people had to deal with this year. And I have a lot of colleagues who I work with and they keep telling me like it's just been such a bad year. Like it's just one thing after the next. So you're a black man, you're mixed.

And you're in this different realm than most black people, right? You're in this celebrity realm, you hang out with Oprah and Kanye. And these types of people seem like they don't get discriminated against, right? And so I'm curious to know, like have you been ever discriminated against in recent,

like since you've gotten so known in your field? Have you still faced discrimination in some way, or do you feel that because of your stature right now in life that you kind of don't see it or feel it like everyone else? No, we definitely feel it. I'm working on a project and it has to do with conversations with black celebrities that still get pulled over all the time. So like when you drive a really nice car and you're in a nice area, as a black man, I still get pulled over. That's just the way it is. Or living in Beverly Hills forever and very nice houses. People wondering like, how did you get this house kind of deal? So the discriminator is so negative and so prejudice in life are really wanting

to change. I have some really good friends that say, Tim, to be honest with you, I realize that I am a little bit racist and for them to be that honest and even apologize at times, but on the other side, then as a black man, I need to look at the fact to make sure that I'm not being prejudice against people, whether they live in this region or talk this way or live this lifestyle. So I think that this is a real check yourself before you wreck yourself moment for all of us.

Because even you being raised in privilege, you've had people come against you for being privileged. So we all get some form of prejudice against us. So this is a real learning moment for us. And, but I will say that I am proud of people, not everyone is stepped forward in this, but I'm proud of so many people that have decided to learn, get better, get up, and let's move forward. Yeah, I think a lot of people woke up all different races and we're trying our best to move this country in the right direction, at least a lot of us are. I'll tell you a quick, cool story is that John Lennon,

he wrote this song, All We Need Is Love. And I was hearing about this just three days ago that he wanted it to be just those words and then for it to just keep looping. And because he wanted people all over the world to sing that song, all we need is love over and over and over again. And that's exactly what happened. Did it really went viral before like viral was famous?

And people from countries that could not even speak English, you know, that was not the first language. We're singing all we need is love and such a powerful thing. it? When we begin to have love for each other in compassion, it's a real healer. Yeah, I mean, I'm Arabic. And so when I was in middle school, on high school, that was right when 9-11 happened. And I remember, I honestly felt like a decade was taken away from my life because I just felt like I just stopped

getting opportunities. And I think things have gotten a lot better, but I just hope that like for a black community out there that like things just really start to get better for them. But can I say this, but also for your community, I feel the same because I have friends that are coming from all parts of the world. You know, if I've been to 75 countries, I've got friends in a lot of countries that are coming from all parts of the world. You know, if I've been to 75 countries, I've got friends in a lot of countries that are my real friends in different religions, et cetera. So I think that the fair place to go is that

most of us have had it and most not towards what happened on the street when the placement took his life. But so many at a, even a lesser place is not something that we should tolerate, but we can rise up and use the tool of compassion and love. And I see young people, a lot of young people stepping into that. You hear that sound, young and profitors?

As you may know, I've been a full-time entrepreneur for three years now. Yet media blew up so fast, it was really hard to keep everything under control, but things have settled a bit, and I'm really focused on revamping and improving our company culture. I have 16 employees, so it's a lot of people to try to rally and motivate, and I recently had bestselling author Kim Scott on the show. And after previewing her content in our conversation, I just knew I had to take her class on master class, tackle the hard conversations with radical candor to really absorb all she has to offer. And now I'm using her radical candor method every day with my team to give in solicit feedback,

to cultivate a more inclusive culture, and to empower them with my honesty. And I can see my team feeling more motivated and energized already.

Yeah, I agree. I hope that it's the new generation that's going to change things. That's how it always goes. I believe that. So kind of related to this is the fact that you're somebody who always stays calm. Even now you're talking about something that's probably so hurtful and you, most people would feel very angry, but you have a very calm demeanor about you at all times. It seems like an, and you have a famous saying, don't get dramatic in the, in the midst of drama, right? So tell us about this phrase and tell us how you keep her cool no matter what's going on. Great observation and great research. And I get interviewed by everybody.

You're good. So when I was a kid, I saw a lot of my relatives getting very dramatic. Like my aunt would get mad because somebody in her family drank too much or this happened or that didn't happen or this took place. And then I went to school and I saw a lot of dramatic people and I started watching them and I thought, this is not paying off for them because I said this to you earlier that there's three primary ways people learn

and I gave you two earlier. The three primary ways people learn. And I gave you two earlier, the three primary ways is education, second is conversation, third is observation. So I am like a phenomenal observation list. All my friends go like Tim's story's the best. I can come in and read a room, see where I should sit, who to talk to, who not to talk to. A star I can meet with them. One day they're super happy. Three days later, bad mood. I read the

mood. So I know what to do. I know what to do. Okay. Observation. Okay. So this whole thing about don't become dramatic in the midst of the drama. I noticed that being dramatic did not help things, whether people argued or fought with the policeman because he gave him a ticket or got in a terrible mood because of what was happening in the weather. So I decided to play things down, just play him down, just play them down and play them down to a place where I can then say, okay, really what is my inventory? What am I really dealing with? And become a sensible thinker and really make better choices and decisions. So thank you for your observation. I'm known for this. In fact, one creative that you would love says this about me.

She says, Tim's story walks around life like he has jazz music, cool jazz music, playing the music. I love that. The good jazz music, not the stuff that goes everywhere. Yeah, so then do you never make decisions when you're angry? Like, are you very like, you just know how to just take?

No matter what it is. No. How about excitement? I, and you know, I'm passionate like people that have seen me speak. Yeah. I'll set a whole stage on fire. Yeah. It's like you, you just won't go the negative route. It's like any energy that's positive, you'll go. I remember a long time ago I was dating this actress lady and still a great friend of mine

today. And she laughs at this because she was trying to really get to me. And she goes, if you don't do this, it's over. I am walking out right now and it is over. She did like this big speech, okay. And then I go, I go, well, we should probably talk about it. She goes, you don't understand. This is not a threat.

If you don't do this, that and the other, it's over. And then I didn't do what you wanted. So she got her purse and she just got up and just kept walking. And I just stood there. And then she came back around the corner a few minutes later, she goes, you're not even going to chase me? And then she started laughing. She goes, only you, only you would not chase me. Everybody chases me. I go, okay. That's so funny. This has been such a great conversation.

I just wanted my favorite conversations that I've had in a while. So let's talk about your new book. It comes out March 2021. You did mention it earlier, the Miracle Mentality. Do you want to describe to us what a miracle mindset is? And more so like the fact that as we grow older we kind of lose this miracle mindset. Tell us about this book in a nutshell. Well, I know the book is going to capture people's attention because I've done the speech so many times. And when I do the speech, people go like this, like I can even be like,

because I speak at a lot of places that are stuffy, and they're like life coach to the stars, work with this, that doesn't get them. They're like this, okay? And when I talk about the miracle mindset, and I say things like this, watch, I was speaking to a group of kids in South Africa, and I said to these little kids, they must have been about seven or eight.

What do you want to be when you get older? Little kids said, the president and little girl said, a ballerina and little little boy said, I want to be like LeBron James. I said, every one of them had a miracle mentality. A miracle is something extra ordinary, super natural, not common, not normal, not the regular. I said, when you're little,

you have a miracle mentality. Now, you may not always say it, show it, act like it, but see most psychologists have found that even if kids do not say it or express it, they still feel it. They feel like something miraculous can still happen. Even if they're being abused or in a bad situation, they're thinking, my mindset will somehow get me out of this mess and this madness. And so in this book, the Miracle Mentality, I'm not trying to get people to get something that they don't have. I'm trying to get people to align something that they don't have, I'm trying to get people to

align with who they really are. See, that's what I did. I aligned myself with who I am. Yeah. The miracle mentality. I love talking to you. I feel like I can like, you know, run a marathon right now. Okay, so the last question I ask all my guests is, what is your secret to profiting in life? I think for me, it's cooperating with who I'm supposed to be. I don't believe in chasing dreams. I believe in cooperating with what life has called me to be. So I believe that whatever your faith is, we've all been spoken over. And so I think that even

when I was in my mother's womb that there was a destiny for me, and I'm just I'm just lining up with it on a daily basis. I'm lining up. I didn't know that I'd be in 90 airports around the world that just happened this week. When you walk through the airport, you'll see me on these big screens everywhere that I write every month for American magazine and United Airways magazines. I didn't know that I'd get to be interviewed by you.

So I didn't know all these things. I just knew I needed to line up with who I really am and that's what we've done. That's amazing. And where can our listeners go to learn more about you and everything that you do? I think the best way is still the old fashion way. Just TimStory.com and you'll put all that there. Because stories go STOREY. Some specials they put E in there. The TimStory.com and shows all the things we do. I love it. Thank you so much for this powerful conversation.

I'm sure everybody who's tuning in is feeling inspired, motivated, and ready to align to their true life purpose. So thank you so much, Tim. Thanks for listening to Young and Profiting podcast. I hope you enjoyed this episode with Tim's story and that you're feeling extra motivated to rock your 2020. I especially loved when Tim spoke to us about the law of harvest and how you need to be in the moment and work your land, work what's right in front of you and the opportunities you have every single day. I feel like I'm going to take that lesson with me wherever I go for the rest of my life. If you loved this interview with Tim's story and you still

want more content to help you get inspired, I would recommend to check out number 31, get off your ass, Goya with David Meltzer. Here's a clip from that episode. I then gave her a speech about meditation, how that I was completely controlling my life, and I had grown up with nothing, and I had a Ferrari apportion, big home, and motor home, and boat, and anything I wanted I could buy, and that money bought happiness, and that why would I meditate, because everybody that meditated, that I I knew was sick, broke, living on their mom's couch and high and I made things happen. Well, she explained to me at that time this quantum moment of my life. She explained to me that through meditation she could

teach me to raise my awareness and my vibration and she taught me that I could only be aware of that which vibrated equal to or less than me and that everything vibrated the earth, the plants, the animals sound, light, thought. And then she rocked my world. She asked me what thought vibrated the fastest and she told me the truth. The truth vibrates the fastest, David. And I can teach you to pursue the truth, pursue your potential. I can teach you to be aware of all the great truths of the universe. And you now can manifest everything that you desire. You can put faith into what you want, and all of it can be yours.

That David Meltzer and Tim's story really get you in the mood to just crush everything in sight.

it. Maybe a few episodes back. It's a really good episode. The next review is from M Ponzi. Relevant content, personable host, great guest. Young and profiting is one of those uncovered gems out there. It's already got a pretty big following, but I'm surprised it's not on the Apple Top 10. Every episode, Hala has such relevant content and actionable insights. I look forward to it every single Monday morning

for the fact that I can listen to a new episode during my lunch break. Simply fantastic. Awesome. I'm so happy that you listen every single Monday. That's a true dedicated YAP band.
