Insights on advice and purpose

02:34

One sentence, one sentence, I don't need to detail it to him. All right, Evan Hart, these are your final five. Question one, what is the best advice you've ever received? Don't be local. Chris Rock, do not be a local comedian. Make the world laugh.

Second question, what is the worst advice you've ever received or heard? Worst advice I've ever received or heard is sometimes you gotta make a studio inspection. He said don't give long answers after, so I'm surprised. I wanna know, it was based off of, it was based off of, you know, I have to get you to a place in acting where you become number one on the call sheet. In the studio, if you're doing things to your liking, well, you know, sometimes you gotta not show up. And the reason why I say this is the worst advice I've ever received. I'm a straightforward businessman, I always have been, and the word negotiation can be simplified. It doesn't have to be the game of back and forth for two more, right? So being in a room, having a face-to-face conversation with foundation of understanding what you want versus what I want, you can succeed a lot more. And I've never not done that. All opportunities, all business, all relationships have flourished because of an understanding of communication that I've done in the room. Whether it be my teams, studios, to be on my team. That, that to me has allowed me to achieve much more success than a lot of other people who talk before me and other things to be elongated and go on and on. And you end up with a perception that's not of you. That's created based off of the idea of what people think you are, because of the way that you handle business. And what's great about that is it brings the pattern so that other talent don't get that same advice. Absolutely. And then it keeps perpetuating the pattern. Now 25 years from now, your kid's having to deal with it because that was the pattern that you continued and set. Oh yeah, I love that.

Question number three, how would you define your current purpose? My current purpose is about embracing the world of we and making the we bigger than the idea of me. And that's for anybody in the position of, whatever your version of star success is, it's embracing the world of we. Making other people feel like they can. Creating opportunities. You know, changing the economy by broadening your businesses and more jobs, more opportunities, et cetera, the we, right? More, rather, how to get more success, more wins.

Question number four, what's something you used to value that you don't value anymore? The world of approval that you can't control. I can't control what the world thinks or what people think, and I thought that I could. I thought that I could do everything to show you that I'm a good guy, nice guy. I'm trying to do that because that's naturally what you are, who you are. You want people to know that. But you can't control that. Like, you can't control it. So, one thing that I do not need is the idea or understanding that everybody loves you. Yeah. Right? I don't need that. And once upon a time, I thought that I did. There was a fear of, people don't like me. Why? What'd I do? I didn't, and that's not the case anymore. That's incredible.

All right, 50 final question. The answer's definitely yes. If you could create one law that everyone in the world had to follow, what would it be? Practice what you preach. That's a great law. Very simple. Yeah. Practice the definition of what you preach. Right? Yeah. It's easy to have words. It's easy to say. It's harder to do. I would love to see a world of more doers, the sayers.

Everyone, Kevin, I know you already watch the movies, you already watch the specials, keep doing that, but please do not miss out on what's going on inside the mind of this human. Don't miss out on everything else that's happening around building this mindset of we. I want you to show Kevin a lot of love from our On Purpose community.

All right, man, I want to say thank you and that you've created such an amazing environment of comfort to your community, and you just speak to your community the way that you do. You've built something amazing, and when I'm talking about being in a space of trying to motivate, inspire, or push however I can, you do it now on a daily. People come here, and they're leaving with a sense of feel good, so congrats again, man, but I hope you truly understand the real work that you're doing and that you've done, and the guests that you get here, they're coming here for a reason because we, too, are listening to you, and we're taking away antidotes, like your mindset, your perspective.
