23:38James Harrison:Good thing Nissan builds for that kind of chaos. Not just test tracks, real life scenes. Late nights, road trips, all of it. That's why it holds up.

I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. I spoke with Sergi Ghosh, Heineken's chief AI officer, to learn how the company is brewing up new workflows with AI.

24:37James Harrison:That'll get you right. You over there kicking it with us. Yeah, you be kicking it. That'll get you right, bro. Punching on Cheerios. Your mom did a great job because you could just tell, bro, when you see somebody that just, just, you carry yourself in the right way and you know what it is. Like at the end of the day, you want to treat the easiest thing as I can see, treat people the way you want to be treated. You know what I'm saying? Always. Like, so just coming off with the first thing, just being like the kindness, the niceness, always just coming out with that first. Because it's going to be weirdos, but nobody knows each other's energy.

25:11James Harrison:If I'm coming off to you nice, you coming right back, it's love. You know what I'm saying? There's no weirdness. It's always just start with love and then we can go from there. People coming off the wrong way. So, like, you just be speaking real, genuine, human facts. Like, this is the way. And now when you got a kid, trying to just instill that until you'll see. Because now it's like, that's the only way it's going to be able to keep this world going the right way. Nice people being nice to the people and just everybody trying to work together. Listen, and mama put that foot down. Mama put that foot down too.

25:39James Harrison:And this is what it's going to be. Somebody is going to be long. This is what it's going to be and this is how it's going to happen. And this is how you go behave. And matter of fact, this is what you go do if you want to be able to do the thing that you enjoy. You want to play football? You over here. And like he said, it's another way to keep you up out of these streets. I ain't losing my son to these streets. She said, y 'all got life fucked up. No, for sure. Everybody don't, man, no. Everybody don't love him. And I'm going to show my baby the right way. I definitely appreciate my mom for her availability and how intentional she was in ensuring our safety and my safety.

26:15Now, my brothers, I love them. They got their own journeys and their paths. But, you know, I was I think at a young age, I was forced to to be more aware. So I always kind of when you catch me in rooms where I'm quiet, it's not because I'm scared or anything. It's just because I'm very observant. And I try to learn from everybody else's, you know, body of work to kind of get me to a position to where I can be optimal. But, you know, I've always been like, I don't like being like heavily, you know, tired of this being like, oh, this NFL player, like, you know, like even in the beginning where I was kind of like kicking like the stats and stuff like that, like that's cool.

26:56It don't matter. That's how I bring you in. You understand that?

27:01James Harrison:That's how I bring you in.

27:06Give me my flyers by telling me like I'm a hell of a pops. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Give me my flyers to tell me I'm a dope ass human. The stats and accolades, when the shit is gone, it's gone. And I realize that while I'm playing. But the day that I go and I got a group of people at my funeral and they talking about the things that I did that don't got nothing pertaining to football, then I did my job. Come on. Cool. I appreciate everything that's done for me for Shit Show. I have so much gratitude for this and I got more left in the tank. but like it's really like a lot of it sometimes be a facade of people like you see these professional athletes who seem as if they untouchable or like they treat people with a level of like disrespect to her like yes I'm above you no you're not crazy because it don't take much for something to change in such a short period of time to where you don't know people that you're looking down on so it's like I look at everybody like I try to treat everybody with respect I try to like Like, enable people to know, like, I'm a human, bro.

28:08Like, you can just kick it in me. Like, you can rock it. Like, I don't be on none of that weird stuff. Like, you can't talk to me. Like, oh, nah, let's kick it. Let's talk. You know what I'm saying? Something you need for me that I can give to you in that moment, whether it's, you know, food and knowledge or me just being able to be an ear you can hear. Like, I'm there for that, bro, because I care about the human population more than I do about the game. Like, this game is cool. And like I said, I definitely appreciate everything that's done for me. But, bro, like, I'm in it for the people. Like, I see kids back at home who toe up and struggling, and me playing in the NFL is just a thought.

28:40But that's enough for me to get close enough to them to touch them. Like, bro, like, y 'all can do whatever you want to do. For real. And I'm here to support it, and I'm here to help you. But, like, I can't stand the cats who be, like, that did all of this stuff and got all these accolades and the pros. And they not trying to, like, let people know that, like, I'm human and I was you once in your shoes, too. I hate being bigger than the program, bruh, because this shit ain't nothing for real, bruh. This football.

29:07James Harrison:Listen, listen, listen, man. God bless you and put you in a position to be able to do what it is you're doing. Right now, yeah, you may not care about the football part, but that is part of God's plan, putting you in a position to be able to touch and reach more people because they're going to look to you because of your position. And now they're going to listen to you. I respect you. You're right, too. You're right. Because I tell you one thing, Demo, because what you say, both of y 'all are speaking the same thing. We saying the same stuff. You know what I'm saying? And I just love, Demo, you're going to be able to get the reach, bro, because you understand what's going on.

29:41James Harrison:You understand what life is really about. So that's just, it's amazing, man. I done brought a lot of time for me to appreciate my moments and to value things with care and to protect people's emotions and feelings. I was one of them people who, you know, didn't know how to be emotionally sound, didn't know how to process my emotions and like closed off to people. And like, you know what I'm saying? And those people that they weren't being closed off to me. So it took me going through a lot and bumping my head. What helped you learn to do that? But because for me, the thing that opened me up and made me realize that I got to stop being this dude that's like just so standoffish.

30:26James Harrison:I don't want to talk to nobody. I don't want to communicate with nobody. I don't want to tell nobody I love them. I don't want to say those words. Like, I don't want to seem soft and weak. I don't want to show no emotion. That isn't anger. For me, it was my son. Look, that's exactly what I was going to say. Facts. And that right there. Bro.

30:50James Harrison:Hold up. I think it cut out. You're good. And I tell, for me, I tell people this. Like, I didn't plan on having kids. You know what I'm saying? But I had kids. And the reason I didn't plan on having kids or I didn't want to have kids is that I never wanted to care more about somebody else than I did myself. And the minute James dropped, I was like, oh, snap. I am fucked. I'm in love with this thing right here. And now I care about him. And now I need to take care of him. And that was the process of where I was like, you know what? And then losing my dad and not being communicative about saying I love you.

31:40James Harrison:That was something that I didn't want to have with my kids. So even when I talk to my kids today, the last thing they say is I love you. And I say I love you more. And I didn't understand that concept, bro, until I had my sons when my parents would say, you know, they love me more and I couldn't love them more than they love me. You can't. Your son could never love him. Like, it's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. And he's not going to understand that, especially when he gets older, he's going to think he can, but he won't understand that until he have his own. Your parents always say you know, you won't understand until you had your own.

32:13James Harrison:I'm saying that's what you mean. So what was it that changed you into that person that, you know, you are now? Well, quite frankly, like, my stepdad was an amazing, like, my sister's dad was a great dad and my stepdad was an incredible human. Both of them were like great humans and father figures to me. But I didn't ever, I didn't know my real pops. So, like, I had an idea of what it looked like. But like, When you have your own kid, the first moment that I held my son, it was the most quiet that my life has been. I'm holding my child in my seat in my hand and him in his pure form. I asked myself when I'm holding my son in my hand, I'm like, what am I going to do?

33:02It wasn't a question for a financial prognosis. It wasn't like for a standpoint of me wanting to financially care for my child because that wasn't a question. It was a question to reform. Like, what am I going to do to show my child to be the best human that you can be, to be able to lead with your heart and follow up and take care of people? Like the things that I wasn't doing optimally in my life. It was probably the first time in my life I was the most honest with myself. Like, I'm not doing these things right in my life in these areas. And if I don't fix and change who I am, then I won't be able to.

33:46How am I expecting this beautiful, pure thing to turn into something that's morally sound, to stand up for something that he believes in if he's standing alone? Him to protect the people that he loves and go out and do things that he believes. How can I expect him to do that if I'm not living up to them standards? So like you saying, Debo, like my son reassures me of his love constantly 10 times over. Like I've never experienced an unconditional love from him in my life. Like I kid you not, my baby boy, like before I dropped him off at school this morning, he wake me up in the morning. And the first thing he does, he gives me a kiss and he says, Daddy, I love you so much.

34:29and to me like that's enough for me to yes the hardest of the hard things that view as a mental like that challenges my mental capacity that little moment throughout my day it gives it buys me so much buys me like being able to get up and like make the tough decisions to like it's hard or temptate like all that shit it's like it don't matter because my kid like has he loves me just for my existence like he could care less about a ball he can care less about some money. They can care less about some notoriety or status. That boy didn't love me. That boy loved his dad. I'm his dad. And that's enough.

35:08Us being the professional athletes that we are, it's not enough people who care for us just for us. Just for us. But being met with a soul that's mine. That's my seed. My son carries my DNA. You're responsible for raising him into a man, yes. Come on. And it's like, okay, like, it makes sense. It snaps. So, like, my emotional my emotional response it couldn't be like closed off when my son tell me he loved me i can't it ain't like boy quit that soft ass shit no i love you too boy yeah like or cry like you're not allowed to cry like there's times and instances where you you you you cry but there's times where i got to be tough on you too so that you can allow you to be strong to be able to callous yourself so you can handle more there's a fine line in between that but like the emotional like awareness that I have gained from the last two years of my child being here like it's off the charts and I my son don't even know like I test that to him like me becoming the man that I'm continually trying to fight and trying to to become every day it's a constant battle you know I'm saying because you I've dealt with before it is 27 years 26 years of trauma you know i just left the cover or left under the carpet but it's like i can't leave i gotta open that stuff that i got into therapy like i gotta change these things okay how important is my word to me how important is all it is to me because it might it has to be something that my son has substance to because there's a lot of kids out here who don't have a dad so don't know how they pops and like they lost.

36:47Yeah. So lost. And if I can teach my son a certain way how to carry himself, those kids that's lost out there, that's without it, maybe my son can be the one that can give them a lend a hand to know, look, I'm in it with you and we can figure it out. But that's my job. I got to instill and teach him them certain things so that he can have everything that he needs, all the tools that he needs to be able to help somebody else. because I believe that this life that we live, it ain't just for us. Yep. No. We got to give. And I'm like, you got to, you tool up your kids,

37:20James Harrison:man. That's what it is. Yeah. That was, that was, that was one of the biggest things that, that changed for me was like, you know what? It's no longer about me. You know? Yeah. Like, yeah, bro. Look here, brother. We want to, we go jump into these little, little super chats we got here, man. but we definitely want to... No, they ain't even saying nothing good. We're going to keep going, Joe. We're going to keep going. What you training today, bro? Oh, today is upper. I think we got... We got push-pull. Then we got, like I said, Danny Ball. Danny Ball. Danny Ball. What is Danny Ball? Tell him what Danny Ball is.

38:02James Harrison:That's why I was like, y 'all talking Danny Ball? I thought... I was like... Joe don't know Danny Ball. He's talking in code. He's going to go out there and get his ass laced up. Stop saying I'm victim weight, man. Victim weight is anything under 200. Yes, for sure. We got somebody who's under 200 that's elite, though. Like Jordan Clark, he's under 200, but he's like that. See, there we go. I'm 185. You ain't Jordan. Jordan was raised up on this. He was... Man, stop this. He was acting like I wasn't like that, man. His daddy, he's in his jeans. He had no choice. No, no. Now, Danny ball is just a variation of just trying to change the tempo of explosion, being able to stop the force that's coming at you and you being able to regenerate and push the force back to the opposite side.

38:49It's like a variation of volleyball, but you can't pass it to anybody. There's a one called uber ball that you can pass and stuff. Is this med ball? It's med ball. Med ball, 10 pound med ball, Joe. Okay. 10 pound med ball. You can catch it and regress by landing and then throwing it. You can dunk that hole, but you can only take one step.

39:17James Harrison:If you want to dunk, what you got to do is you got to jump, grab it in the air, and as you come down, you can hit the ground and then jump up. Yeah, you can't catch it, take a step, and then drop it. Nope. It's all continuous. is. You can only score on your serve. Game, go to 11 unless you get 7-0. And it's one-on-one? No, it's 2-2. 2-2. 2-2, okay. All these people that's playing with five and six people on each side, they ain't doing no work. Yeah, 2-2, and it's typically like they try to target the one who's not the best. They try to go after the one. Joe, if you come out there, Joe, I'm getting all the man ball.

39:59James Harrison:It's going to be about 110, 115. and we are going to throw this ball high and deep at you. You got to play deep to short. If you try and play that short to deep, you are going to find yourself crashed out with your face in the sand because you go to try and catch the ball and you ain't going to have that weight. It's a victim weight. Bam, it's going to take you down. I'm telling you, it's good for conditioning. I've been here for four years now And it's been, every time I go back to camp, I feel like great. And it's the best shape I've been in my life right now. So it's good for you. You should come out.

40:38James Harrison:What got you over through PEP, man? What led you over that way, man? Nah, funny thing is my agent. My agent knew somebody who knew somebody. And I never told him about this, bro. But like when I seen Joe Cliffs, I'm like, this nigga over here. Like, I want to be over there. Like, he, I kind of like looked at your story, like how everything was going. the whole like I'm like damn bro like you did this like I wanna you know what I'm saying and then I got here and I trained with Ian one time I'm like bro this dog work and I'm like it ain't the best people in here like I'm like alright let me just try it I tried it my first year got to Detroit had the best year of my career and it was Discover a spectacular island destination with crystal blue seas, endless sunshine and the cool Bahamian breeze Baja Mar, located in Nassau, Bahamas, offers your choice of three luxury hotels, over 45 fine dining and nightlife venues, John Batiste's all-new jazz club, the Caribbean's most luxurious casino, and one-of-a-kind experiences for the entire family, like our 15-acre tropical water park, wildlife sanctuary, world-class golf course, and so much more.

45:11James Harrison:Yes. Yes, yes. point blank period. I tell people this. If I had got with Ian sooner, I wouldn't have had not one surgery I had. Because everything is based off muscle imbalances. And if you fix that imbalance, you fix the issue. How long in your career you end up going to him, Debo? Shit, I was with Ian my last 10 years. Okay. You said last 10 years. Last 10 years. I'm like, God. Dude, I listen. So I did. So Ian. Yeah, I did. I did 16, 15 credit, 16. So Ian worked on me during the 2009, 10 season, 2010 season, right before they locked us out. My back was jacked up. So he was doing soft tissue work to get my back straight.

46:00James Harrison:So I had two I had two herniated discs. So he was doing soft tissue work so I could make it through the season. So at the end of that season, we ended up losing the Super Bowl to Green Bay. So I played 14 weeks where three weeks where I was Saturday getting the epidural to playing the game on Sunday. God damn. Like come and get me at the crib because I can't get out the bed. You know what I'm saying? So when I got done with that, my rehab I did with Ian because they locked us out. That was the best thing that ever happened to me in life. Everybody else that had that done, nobody played more than two years after that, bro.

46:36James Harrison:Damn. I played an additional eight. nine oh yeah like it that's that word dude his his knowledge and understanding of the body mechanics and how to mix and mix and match things so that you can optimize what it is that you need to work on it's not a for everybody what demo do i don't do i may not do i may do it it just depends and it may be cycles of things where you may do certain things that are combined with something else like he may have a workout that's combined like a double set that's combined with squats and then something else mine may be squats and something else different than it is his it's just all dependent on what your what you need is and it's it's actually just catered to you personally so they do muscle testing and everything to figure out what's going on what's wrong and then he'll go and do whatever it is that you need to do to fix and prove and do.

47:37James Harrison:It's nothing like it. Like he said, you got to be a dog. You got to be ready to work. This ain't for nobody that don't want to work. You're going to come in here and you're going to be the cat that's going to come high flashing and all that. No, you're going to get put down. You're going to make a last. It don't matter about how many people in there. It matter about what type of work we putting in. Period. It's a dungeon for real, bro. Like, this is... I love it so much because it's like before... No windows. Before training camp, before the first day it passed, the night before you get your mind right.

48:14Like, every morning that I wake up to come in this gym, I'm getting my mind right. Like, this ain't no shit that I could just come in here and, like, lock the shit in this hole.

Nobody's losing those steps. He's just hitting it back. Boom. I don't think I played that long. It was like an hour and ten minutes and that drug me.

49:17We only played two games that day because of that game.

49:21James Harrison:Yeah, and you're trying to play the best of three every time. Like I said, you may get in there and mess around and have a game that's 10 minutes because you done skunk them. Next game, you could mess around and be in there an hour and a half and still ain't done. And it'd be 5-4. Maybe the battle of wheels. You can start off hot, bro, and get skunked, but we got a series now. We got a series. We ain't going nowhere. We're going to play again. Hour 30 is crazy work. and if you don't believe you see the planet like time just be going and the ball just going back and forth ain't nobody missed like but the moment that somebody take that little that one toss and they put you at the front of the net and they in the middle of the court oh yeah you strike you strike launch it no listen you got it you got it like you go have to throw deep you might get 10 15 throws deep before you even try and throw one short because I got to tire you out.
