Coach Vick, tell me, uh, what is the best part about this phase of your life? The best part about this phase of my life is the level of understanding that I have and and just in life in general, um, obviously being *** coach has helped me grow, um, being *** father, being *** husband has helped me grow and so you know with all the experiences that I’m experiencing in life, uh I’m, I’m learning more and more, um, and every day I wake up I’m excited to learn more. And I wish I felt this way when I was 25 years old, but when I was 25, I kinda had everything that I wanted in life, and so the ambition wasn’t there to push harder and learn more and experience more because everything was right there for me. Now it’s, uh, more so about, um, how can I help the people in my household, how can I help the young men and women that I’m trying to connect with on *** daily basis as far as being *** coach and, and the messages that I’m trying to convey when I sit on people’s platforms, so. Uh, excited about each and every day. Thankful to wake up each and every day and, uh, hopefully I can continue to be ***, *** positive for, for people who, who might need *** message or might need to be influenced one day.
