Montel Williams says that when he was in elementary school, he had a teacher who told him he was never going to amount to anything just because he was black. But rather than fulfill her prophecy, Montel decided to fight against it. And he says you need to do that too because one of the most important lessons to learn in life is that you alone own the definition of you.

Montel also says that the old saying “he’s successful because he was in the right place at the right time” is just a load of BS. That leaves too much to chance and luck. You can make every place the right place, right time if you know how to do it. And in this interview you’ll hear how.

According to Montel, you don’t have to live up to anybody else’s expectations in life. You are the one in charge of how high you set your bar, and you alone are the one who will bring yourself up to reach it. And in this interview, you’ll hear how Montel set and achieved high goals for himself, and how you can too.
