When you go all in, the universe starts to take you seriously in my opinion.

Time is flying by, 17 days for the biggest moment in your AW career. Go get him champ.

I quit my job and became one of the most successful knife sharpeners in the Pacific Northwest. Never looked back. If you focus on something, even something as tiny as the edge of a knife, it can sustain you, physically, emotionally, spiritually.

Thank you Devon

I did concrete work on the US southern border fence for years. Had to quit to come back to Tennessee and take care of my grandma til she passed away. Not long after that my gf dropped dead right in front of me then my dad passed away right after that with lung cancer. Then COVID hit. That's when I saw your vids and immediately I was hooked lol. I'm not built for arm wrestling but a yuuuuge fan of it. I fish bass tournaments here locally. Guess that's my 1st passion but arm wrestling sure is right there with it 💪🎃

Devon pls keep making these kind of videos. As someone who's been struggling financially for quite a while now because of chasing passion and quitting the conventional path, I found this extremely insightful and encouraging. I felt like you cut it short. Could've listened to you for 20 more mins on this 😊 hope to see more of this side of you.

3 in 1 oil would do wonders for that squeaky door. 😂

I think few people have shown the dedication to the sport that you have. When you give yourself no other options, it's about survival.

"you only live once, no regrets, go for it" thank you, it was very inspiring

So inspiring man, I can relate. 2 Years ago, with 23 yo, i quit my job to create my own business. I was good at the beguinning but I felt so much financial pressure man, that I end up having a burnout. The business was doing okey but mentaly my financial expectations were beating me slowly until I had to stop and adress them. Thats what I am doing now. I wish to have listen to this stuff two years ago, it is about freedom not anything else. And creating a job out of a passion is not good, you end up on the same position but you lose one pasion. Fortunately i feel in life you can fuck up many times but rise again wiser. Thanks for your words

The best armwrestler❤❤

The way people know Devon i don't think people know any other athletes in so much detail or engage this much ❤

Shalom Mister Larratt. Been following you for some time now. You are a great ambassador for the arm-wrestling sport. Thank you for all that you do. May God keep you and your family safe.

I am currently serving with Texas national guard at the border ❤ I have a tournament in San Antonio Texas in May as well. I hope I can meet you one day Mr. Larratt :) it would be an honor I would never forget

All our energy and prayers are with you Devon, continue to write your story

Bro Devon is such a legend, all the stories the things he’s been through literally sounds like he’s the main character, and i love how he tells us about it, big respect, you changed me physically and mentally in a good way obviously, thank you.

Fear of failure can be scary, but so is never pursuing what you're passionate in. Be that man in the arena once more, Dev!

Regardless if devon doesn't win another match in his entire career. Im a lifetime no limits fanatic! Absolutely love devon and his entire family.

devon needs a podcast, he's such a well-spoken dude and is very smart in the way he approaches things

Not many people would want a rematch with a guy that tore his arm. Devon is the GOAT of this era💪🏻

For what it’s worth: I do many of the same treatments you do. I’ve seen your win. I’ve seen your win. Now go get it brother!

I quit my job a few weeks ago and have been going like crazy around the property clearing land, building fences around gardens, an addition on our chicken coop and now working on a barn for some critters. I've already lined up several clients to house their stuff and plan on having some market sales shortly too😎

I just decided to not sign a new lease and move my family into a rv for 3 months and then fly them to other side of the country while I keep working to get ahead. I’m so nervous right now cause it has to work. But I shine not burn is the family motto along with victory or death. So move forward we will go. Thanks for sharing your story!!

What a guy.

Don't ever downplay your "wisdom" Devon. I think you have no idea how much you resonate with your audience... you inspire people of all ages and creeds. What a remarkable human being.

You are a gifted human being! You are a fantastic representative for us retired CAF! You’ve done the hard time….. now it’s all yours Champ!😎🙏💪‼️

“F safety… safety’s off”. I’ve never heard a more RAMBO thing. That’s my new saying whenever I’m nervous about something. I’m taking that. It’s mine now.

You deserve every single penny that got now. Really inspiring Dev.

Hi bud. Ran with Way of the Giant Pumpkin with my whole national team (I coach) last year and we won our World Championships, the players all big fans of "Pumpkin training" 😂😂 ... you've been a big inspiration by going so hard into specialization and it made a lot of my anecdotal findings over a career make sense. All the best for the big one coming up! Every day is a new leaf on the vine

That's a timely story Mister Larratt - thank you. Going for it!

I think In 60 years , that green jacked that you'r wearing will be hung up in a museum

You almost make me cry, this honest and serious Devon is just something else... We all are sending you our strength this April 20... You are not pulling alone, your family is with you, your children, Jodi as always will be there watching over those elbows ... And don't get me wrong, I love Levan but the two strongest of all time colliding... Is juat pure hype 💪🏻

You’re an inspiration Devon, thanks for talking about so many aspects of life in your channel.

This is brave of you to come out with this brother. Good luck in the coming weeks, you got this!!

You got this match,,,,,,,all you have to do is get a stop,,,,,, if u can do that,,,,,u win,,,,im am so excited to see this match

When you have dodged bullets for 20 years a squeaky door is just a squeaking door -

You don’t think you’re going to beat him, you KNOW you’re going to! And excellent speech. You deserve to live life on your terms, whether you’re the sole provider for your family or not. You only have one life, so live it! I’m glad you took the risk and pursued your passion.

If you somehow get any sorta stop in the first few rounds I will get chills. What a story and what a character you are.

This guy is a true hero and a legend and an inspirations to so many

The amount of respect I have for this guy is even more exponential. To pursue your dream while having a family and having to quit a stable job, takes tons of courage. WE LOVE YOU DEVON! ❤You have made an extreme impact on the arm wrestling world, and actually got me into arm wrestling. Good luck on the match with levan I’m voting for u bro.

You're the man! As someone who is trying to pursure their passion, i thank you for sharing you knowledge and experiences on the subject.

Hey Devon! You got my attention to this sport and I can’t get enough. Good luck on the 20th. A lot of people are with you, win or lose, keep loving what you do!

Look at our boy, Dev, now: almost 1M subscribers on KZfaq!

Great philosophy and attitude Devon. It has been so amazing to follow your journey and progress over the last few years. Can’t wait for this match! You will persevere! Cheers from Perth 🇨🇦

Thank you for this, I wish everybody had a person like you in their family.

This is gotta be one of the best videos he’s made so far. Thanks!

Everything you said makes complete sense, Devon! I really enjoyed this side of you and listening to you speak about your journey and your battles. You are ready to take the reins and the crown 👑. Levan will finally witness what its like to be beat at his game. You will be #1 in the world and im excited to see it. Good luck and keep up the amazing work!

Thank you!❤

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and personal experiences good and bad. You've had a big impact on my life and my mind set. Just keep being Devon and you're going win. 💪

What a speech, thanks master Devon!

When I started following Devon....He was having around 200k-ish subscribers.... it's amazing to see the possibility of success and what it takes to be there.... quite a masterclass

videos hitting me at the right time, felt drawn to you and your loveable pureness in character and personality, of course you had a message that resonated with me.

Thank you for the heartfelt and inspiring message! Life is meant to be lived looking forward, not the rearview mirror

Devon I seriously believe you got the whole universe behind you for this Levan match, you are my biggest inspiration this year and Im using this fire to become very good at a business skill Im striving for. Thank you so much for being my biggest inspiration.

What you have done to prepare for this rematch is above and beyond! You're going to get the job done in impressive fashion to say the least. I'm really wanting to make the trip to watch it live.

Respect, You are definitely a hardworking man Devon and you deserve the position you are in today!

Future documentary is going to be so awesome, front to back make sure to get the right ppl involved. Thanks tor taking the time 💪

Thanks for this Devon. Freedom is what I’m seeking, maybe one day. Good luck in your next match buddy

Devon,remember,you the GOAT and you can do anything you set your mind to! You are gonna win 101%. Be watching like always.

Devon hits on a very personal level for me. I own a handyman company & struggling to quit my day job to run my company full time. It's not an easy task to quit your day job. One day, I'll get there. This was a nice video to see from Devon. One heck of a man.

Very motivational Devon , all great people went through struggle and risked everything for passion

Yo Devon you are such a rolemodel for me man, you've done everything I've ever wanted to do. I tried taking the risk stuff but it's always worked out horribly for me, now a days I find myself with 4 kids age 30 sole provider with a mortgage and I can never risk losing everything for my dreams. But I can live out my dream through you! Knowing you took the risk and put all the line. Devon I know your going to give this sht your all, push that sht all the way down till the pedel falls off and the wheels fall off! You are going to cripple the fken guy Devon! I can't wait! God bless you coming from Florida.

Devon, like you I have served my country in the CAF for years now, about 15 and I feel I am at a crossroads where I am being torn to go down multiple paths. This video is helping me to self reflect and it's honestly inspired me to make some changes that I have always been hesitant to go through with. Thanks for the words and hours of entertainment you provide us with. Best of luck vs Levan but you won't need it buddy, you're ready to take that top spot, you earned it man. Never stop moving forward.

Devon, you're an amazing armwrestler, an amazing dude and I truly believe that you've changed the sport of arm wrestling forever and redefined what is and isn't possible. I would be rooting for you if you were going against anyone other than Levan.

Sir this video made me emotional. Pursuing passion is really something which comes with financial stress and thats why a lot of athletes don't even choose their passion.

Rooting for you Devon!

Keep the positive energy, Devon!

I'm Brazilian, and I follow your videos a little. You outdid yourself and showed incredible strength, congratulations on your work and may God bless your life.

Interesting thing is that this video showed up on my feed when i was thinking about some of that stuff on my own :) Well said, i couldn't agree more. Best of wishes fighting Levan. I hope your dream will come true!

Excited to witness your masterpiece!

I needed this today. Thanks Devon.

Life is about the journey. You had an amazing journey. We love you Devon, the outcome of this match cannot change this!

Needed to hear this today more than ever.

Thanks for sharing big guy. Blessings to you and your family.

WE ALL LOVE YOU. Especially Levan. Thankyou Devon, you’re like a dad I never had!your family is very lucky. As far as I’m concerned, you succeeded years ago at life, and ALL of this is just your time to enjoy the rewards. 🍀 This is for you! I know why you love green;)

Dude, I really love your channel. I liked this speech. I wish I knew how to convert my passion for programming video games into a way to make money. That would be fly. That said, I would hate if my passion became a job, so it is hard for me to even fathom. My dream is too big for me. I gotta figure it out, but so far, no dice. For now, I will be happy I can care for my awesome family that I love so much! And of course, I'll be rooting for you, Devon! Go out there and make some magic happen. I believe in you, man!

My favorite. What a true inspiration to this sport. Crack that wrist and drive through. Don't hold and play with Levon, smash all the way through. You have the plan. I'm just talking. We are hoping you bring the mountain down.

Thanks man. I needed this message. I’m right in that phase of life right now.

very touching story, the fact that you really believe you can win based on you last match with Levan is incredible. Your infinitely improved and your not the same person anymore. You set the bar so high that we have no other choice to believe you can win. Cant wait to see this rematch.

Solid video Dev! Very inspirational.

A great message! Thank thee very much!

Thanks DEVON

I feel like you made this video specifically for me. Words I needed to hear. Thank you!

Thank you for this Devon!

Thank you for sharing this, it means a lot to me🎉

You are the the tip of the spear. All of the energy accumulated along the way concentrated into one point in time.

Devon, Thanks for your inspiring words. I'm guessing its a combination of your personal drive and character coupled with that of your family which has fueled and supported your success. Your success is well earned If only others (all the rest of us) could capture some of this for themselves in their own situation.Stay strong, you've got this.

Thanks for this, I feel it deeply . Looking forward to your masterpiece.

Devon you are inspiration for hardwork and dedication thank you🙏
