I’m a person who wants to affect a lot of people’s lives in a positive way. That’s what God put me on earth to do.
A lot of things about my way of leadership is to be vocal, but I try to lead by example – how I approach work and study the game. Do the things the right way. It’s a great responsibility I love to have.
I think that’s why a lot of people are very lonely and get ill when they’re older, because I think loneliness and having no motivation, nothing to work towards… I think it kills you.
Sometimes you can block out a lot of things because you’re thinking about so much and you can distract yourself, but sometimes that distraction of being ADD can really set you back.
I feel like a lot of the technology that happens in gaming, starts in gaming and it goes broader than gaming.
A lot of tech people are afraid to get on the phone and talk to their customers, or get on Zoom, or whatever. But I think a great place to start is just be calling your customers all the time.
As an athlete you have to think about yourself a lot. Think about your body, think about your mind, staying healthy, staying strong, your goals. So it’s always about me, me, me, me.
At the end of the day, I think that a lot of people saw how hard I worked. And I’ve gained a lot of respect from a lot of the fans, when they come out and see me, even people not from the United States, when they come out there and cheer me and give me heart gestures and cheer for U.S.A.
In Brooklyn, the block wasn’t very long or very wide, and not that many kids were out there, either. But when I got to Florida, there were a lot of kids on my block, young kids, older kids, and they could play outside until the sun went down and have fun.
I grew up with a lot of talented athletes through high school, through college.
Just remember I am more than four years. I am more than two bans. I have done a lot before, and I have done a lot after that.
A lot of people over the last couple of seasons have fallen prey to the unstoppable force Usain Bolt brings to the table. And they just become subdued. That’s not who I am. I’m not going to allow myself to become a subdued character.
The best way to sell your company for a lot of money is to have a good company.
I think a lot of athletes when they get in their mid and late 30s, they focus more on kids, on family.
If you look at our original business model with the verticalized law firm, a lot of these companies that have this kind of full stack model are not going to survive. A lot of these companies, Atrium included, did not figure out how to make a dent in operational efficiency.
A lot of people on the business side are really serious. But I like being able to mix content that’s me having fun.
If you keep winning all the time, you may not learn a lot, but failure has a lot to teach.
