- So glad I did this
video in the midst of shooting Randy...
-
-
- Maybe I just
knew it sub-consciously but in the last entry after the
video was done and I watched it within the context of it
being publicly released? It felt exploitive. I know Randy
doesn't think that and obviously I don't but not a lot of
people understand how I operate. So I'm glad I decided to
talk to the camera during the shoot and I want to
expand a bit more so it's clear...
-
- ...I lean into the
bad times as much as the good time. I lean into them
because they're the truth and I've proven time and again
that those bad times are often (if not damn near always)
the catalyst for INCREDIBLE things that happen
because of the bad times. I'm not shooting the
NBA/NHL or meeting Lebron or ANY of that shit if I don't
lose the Super Bowl a year ago. Now it hasn't
erased the sting of that loss, but it's still the
truth. And the reason that year end video feels so REAL?
Is beacuse I documented the bad shit. Hell the yearend
video ends on a down note and leaves you completely
depressed...
-
- ...but you're ready
to see what's next, no? I mean I sure as hell am. So
that's where we are with Randy. This is devastating,
embarrassing, back against the wall - feels like there's
no getting past it... but I bet it isn't. I bet the
3rd Act is going to be incredible... and then what will
these 3 chapters be? They will be a documentation of The
Journey and we will all witness that. It would've been
incomplete if we just brushed over the bones. You have to
pay it respect. You have to embrace that. You can't hide
it... because if you do? Nothing is real. The joy of
overcoming the bad times is lost.
Of course when it's happening in real-time (and it's real
and not fiction) it's EXTREMELY difficult to document it.
So a big thank-you to Randy for trusting me to take care
of his story here. I take that responsibility very, very,
seriously. I truly love and appreciate his friendship and
I absolutely believe in him rebuilding his life better
than before.

- Hang in there man...
it's coming.
