Wow, his story was better than the movie!

Divorce is a devastating thing for a child to deal with.

He came to speak at my university this year and I kid you not - he gave the exact same speech there, word for word. He straight up has this entire thing memorized verbatim.

The end of his speech is incredibly powerful.

There is a book published in 2021 which debunks all his stories. He a is professional liar. The movie about him was based on his fantasy...

If you check out this man's story you will find out that he continues tp lie about his life!

This dude is smooth as fuck when talking. No wonder his track record is so legendary.

He was a liar then and he is a liar now

Such a quick witted man. Fun to hear his stories.

So he’s still telling the story and fooling people.

should have started his speech with

I'm 72. my parents divorced in Texas with I was 7. My dad didn't want me and my brother with him or to share parenting so he went off to Southern California. So I stayed with my mother who brought us back to Columbus Ohio where we were from. Once when I was being dropped off for a rare visit with my father, said to me; "why don't you ask your dad if there was any chance of us getting back together again". She didn't understand that It was the cruelest thing she could have done to me. I hero-worshiped my Navy aviator "the right stuff" father. Of course, it didn't work. He went back to Palm Springs the next week and I was stuck in Columbus Ohio. I wanted my mother and father to be together. My mother remarried when I was 11 to a not very bright I'll tempered mean man that I could not accept as my father because abusive bully of a "man" who loved to intimidate children and I grew up in that hell of high anxiety until the day I got out of high school. It affected me physically and emotionally and screwed up my ability to form relationships for the rest of my life. Friends didn't stay, women didn't stay and I'm 72 and alone. I consciously refused to have children out of fear that I might screw up a child the way I'd been screwed up. Now my father is gone, My mother is gone and I have no children.

"Every child deserves a mother and a father" No greater words of wisdom have been uttered. Too bad our culture has rejected this great piece of advice. One of the most inspiring speeches I've ever heard.

That was the best thirty minute speech I have ever heard.

This guy+jordan belfort could rob the whole world

Do you concur?

Crazy, this is nearly word for word the same as the talk he did for Google. Like he knows it from memory word for word

Came here wanting to see how he recalls his past and now I leave in tears. Brilliant speech.

Amazing how he like almost never stutters. Very smooth guy

Man, I can’t imagine how hard it was for him once he found out that his dad passed away while in jail. Not being able to say goodbye or seeing your parents before passing would be unimaginably difficult to get over’
