Joe Rogan (0:00)

You come in here moving and shaking, man. You come in here making deals, you're on the phone already.

Kevin Hart (0:04)

Gotta do it, Joe.

Joe Rogan (0:04)

You're always moving.

Kevin Hart (0:05)

I mean, is there anything else to do? Is there anything else to do besides move?

Joe Rogan (0:11)

Now, do you wanna get ahead?

Kevin Hart (0:12)

No, no, especially not now, man. Hunters hunt.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

Yes.

Kevin Hart (0:17)

Those that don't get ate.

Joe Rogan (0:18)

The last time you were here, man, that was one of the most inspirational podcasts I've ever done. I left that, I literally had a shift in the way I was looking at things. Like you put an extra gear in my step that day.

I was like, oh, I love being around people like you.

Kevin Hart (0:32)

My guy.

Joe Rogan (0:33)

People around you, people like you, you're going for shit all the time. And it's infectious. It's like you give off energy.

And when people around you, they wanna get shit done too. They wanna hustle.

Kevin Hart (0:44)

It's contagious.

Joe Rogan (0:45)

Yes.

Kevin Hart (0:46)

It's contagious. It's not just me putting it out. I think that the last time I was here, our conversation was such a great conversation because there was, we both had point of views, right? And when we shared the point of views, you elevated the other person's POV. Like when we were talking and I was telling you why I live the way I live, why I am the way I am, you springboarded, then you said, yeah, because Kev, for me, I've been doing this.

And we had this yin and yang thing going.

And it drove the conversation. I told you before we jumped on, one of the best interviews that I've ever done, and from a feedback perspective, with people that just loved what the discussion was, loved the tone of the interview, the things that were said, felt inspired, motivated after, it was just great all around for me. Checked all the boxes.

Joe Rogan (1:42)

It was for me too, and I got a bunch of great responses from my friends.

That's when I know it's good, when I get friends and my friends are all like, pretty unanimous, they're like, that is a motivational motherfucker. Like that dude gets shit done. When people hear stuff like you, like someone who's excited about life, excited about doing things, there's something about that, it's fuel. It's fuel for, we need that.

Kevin Hart (2:03)

Everyone needs that. This is not a cheesy segue. All right? This just makes sense from what you just said.

What you just said is the reason why I did the decision.

You said people need that, it's fuel. I feel that in today's time, what people are most selfish with is information. Nobody wants to give information. You got to ask for it. If you ask for it, then all right, maybe. Maybe I'll tell you some stuff, but it's a search and find.

Joe Rogan (2:37)

You mean real good information.

Kevin Hart (2:39)

Real information. Information about how to get to success. That's the want from everybody across the board. On some level, everybody's success is different. This doesn't mean fame and stars. I'm not talking about that level of success for everything. I'm saying whatever your version of success is to get to it, information from someone that's done it or that's partaken in it in some degree will only add to the value of your journey. It's only going to make it easier. It's not to say that you got to do what they said, but with that information, you're able to process it, maybe use it, maybe not.

But you got it.

That's what I wanted to do. I said, yo, I got a fucking, I got a life. I got a hell of a life that I've lived full of ups, downs, potholes, cobblestones, speed bumps, flat road, U-turns, some smack brick walls that I ran into, some revolving doors of back and forth, and through it all, my mental has only gotten better because I feel like I've been in a mental gym. The mental fitness that coincides with life, you know, it should get better. You should get wiser. You should get smarter. You should be able to make better decisions. And all of my decisions came from the massive amount of fuck ups, and I can now share those fuck ups.

I can now share the rights and the wrongs, and the way that I handle all of the things that I've done. And people can just take that information and go, wow, I never looked at it like that.
