Lee is the quintessential southern gentleman. If Arnold’s record ever had to be beaten, I’m glad it was done by someone with Lee’s disposition and moral character
That is a tantamount lie! The steroid testing alone would fail the entire program. And if bodybuilding was allowed, then the entire Olympics would be nothing but steroid users, etc: swimming, wrestling, track and field, it would be ridiculous.
I love this guy. This is a real man. Forget all these stupid Alpha Male vids on the internet. This guy is the real deal. He is a world champion bodybuilder 8 times over. Has a good marriage with his wife of 32 years. Stays in shape. Is articulate. Believes in God. Went after what he wanted in life and follows his passion. Is a good role model. This is the type of guy I would want my son to be if I had one. Though I wouldn't want my kid involved in competitive bodybuilding these days due to I think it is extremely unhealthy. You can't be natural and be competitive.
Lee Haney attained Mass with Class and in 1991 he won his eighth consecutive Mr. Olympia at his best physique ever. Defeating Dorian Yates in the process. He has no blemish on his record. He is the greatest bodybuilder of all time in my opinion.
In no way am I huge Yates fan, but that was Dorian's first outing to be fair........ and Lee knew it was his time to step down for what was to come......... but then maybe he coulda won at least one more, who knows..???
I dont compare bodybuilders accross eras but if I were to aspire to be any bodybuilder it would be Lee. Best ive seen in 1991 254 32 inch waist 2 kids no acne his real hair lol
Wow! Brilliant interview. Why oh why is Haney not respected more? Everyone talks about Zane, Platz and Arnie but Haney needs to be at the top. What a champion and gentleman. Thank you
Excellent question. I think its because he fell in between everyone. Like Arnold was the trailblazer, Frank Zane was the king of asthetics, Dorian and Ronnie were the monster mass guys. I don't know.
Lee is a completely happy guy. Contrast that with Phil Heath who seems to never be happy. Just goes to show that winning or money will not make anyone happy. It has to come from within. Lee has it. I met him once in person and heard him speak. Same as this interview. Stand up guy.
I need to apologize, for a long time i thought bodybuilders were air heads throwing there lives away at the gym until i needed to change my sick and fat life around, so rock bottom I turned to Shwarzenegger to get busy at the gym with no excuses and so for 2 years and 7 months I'm doing great and now listening to the golden words of Lee Haney damn, these guys are perfect examples of dedication, sacrifice and perseverance that i want, thank you! and I'm no bodybuilder but I want their principles!
Lee Haney. To me, this gentleman has always epitomized the best of bodybuilding. He exudes class, grace, humility, and has a spirituality that inspires like few others. Truly a gift to humanity. All the best and God Bless.
Lee is such a nice guy, so modest and humble. His back and lats were incredible, you knew as soon as he walked on stage, he would win hands down! such a soothing voice, could listen to him for ages, and such a likable personality. one of the few golden era bodybuilders who has had a healthy life after his career.
@@lh9140 "if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!" (1 Cor. 9:16). I'm firmly convinced that God wants us to take excellent care of our bodies, which are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19). Prayer, working out, good nutrition, cathartic communication, and marital intimacy are all ways to help accomplish this goal as well as relieving stress. Often, I will listen to a brother in Christ named Billy Alsbrooks while I work out. That dude really knows how to motivate during workouts. Here's one of my fave videos he puts out on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/_-uk3LOrEcA/w-d-xo.html May God Smile Upon You This Very Day!
@@jeffkaplan7777 hey brother want to ask you something and as a bodybuilder pastor like you said you are i think u may help me with do you think anabolics for strictly competing and bodybuilding usage will condemn you to hell? iv been a christian since birth but this question haves always been a mystery to me
@@tales2797 Interesting question, my friend. I've been in pastoral since 1985 and no one has ever asked me that question! You're the first! The only resource I look to for all matters of faith and conduct is the Bible. That said, I can strongly affirm the fact that anabolics have no bearing on one's eternity. Of course, the inappropriate use of any drugs can boost one into eternity a lot sooner. But whether or not a person goes to heaven or hell is exclusively based on what a person does with Jesus Christ. Only through faith alone in Jesus as Savior and Lord is necessary for eternal life (John 14:6; Acts 16:31; Ephesians 2:8,9). We need to believe in His substitutionary death on the cross and bodily resurrection from the dead in order to be right with God (1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 10:9,10). Hope this helps! Jeff
@@jeffkaplan7777 thanks for the reply and you are totally correct the bible is the base and key of life that God left here on earth for us i can tell that you are a true man of God just by what u wrote to me because scriptures don't lie and sugarcoat nothing and if we do live by it salvation is our biggest reward at the end thanks again God bless my friend 😁👍
After suffering for Years with Severe Asthma,,, at 10 yrs old,,, I found a Joe Weider Bodybuilding book before the Summer between my 4th and 5th grade years. It was the SCIENCE of Conditioning and Bodybuilding that I LOVED and figured "If I can Increase my Chest and Body by Exercise,,,, than I'll have MORE ROOM to Hold Off/Live with my Asthma!" That Whole Summer of 1984 I Ran 10 Laps of a Parking Lot Behind my House. Found a Length of GAS Pipe,,, Reversed a pair of Bicycle Handle GRIPS so that the,,, four 5# plastic weights (10#'s Total) of my Father wouldn't slide in on my hands,,, sawed the legs of an old bar stool to about 2ft. off the Floor. And TRAINED ALL SUMMER!!! My 5th grade years.. I went from Asthma SOO BAD I would Collapse after 15ft of just Walking,,,, TO.... - Throwing a Football FARTHER then anyone! - Push Up king of my 5th grade class! - Finishing 3rd Overall in the old Presidential Physical Fitness Test!! (Just Sharing a kindered story.)
Steve James Yes,the BIBLE your referring to says " many have tried but all have fallen short of GOD'S glory." Meaning nobody is perfect and that's why Lee retired very early cause he didn't want to be like your favorite bodybuilders of today that continue injecting at 50. It's not Lee's fault that you hate GOD and act like GOD doesn't exist just cause you don't wanna be held accountable and rather be atheist
In the Black community, we had Richard Pryor for comedy, Eddie Murphy for movies, Michael Jackson for music, Michael Jordan for Sports and there was Lee Haney our Mr. Olympia 💪🏿
He's such a genuine and selfless guy. I love how he's doing so much to help others but you can tell that he's still got that competitive streak in him to succeed.
How can someone speak for over an hour, yet every word spoken is perfect, effortless, and keeps your attention. What a great man and role model. Lee Haney has always been my favorite bodybuilder. Incredibly inspiring.
Great interview. I was lucky enough to meet Lee when he traveled to Perth Western Australia in 1987. He was the same then, a real class act and gentleman. There are few better role models than this man especially in professional bodybuilding.
As a 13 year old I used to walk home from school with a handful of friends and most of the journeys home we'd pass through the shopping centre where we'd walk into the news agents looking for "escapism" I guess. So we'd gravitate towards the magazine section and whilst I see my "dodgy friends" pick up the dirty mags from the top shelf, I noticed this incredible looking human on the cover of a magazine. His name was Mohamed makkawy the year was 1984 and from then on i was hooked on weight training and wanting to look just like them. All from the off chance of spotting a bodybuilding magazine.. This was the era of Lee Haney and his historical Mr Olympia reign, the golden era, great times growing up.
@@leroymagagenova5903 yeah but he was a meathead steroid users. Kali Muscle was a full on natty vegan that was on a fasting keto diet. He only got 4 while Jason got 5 because of freaking politiks.
ABSOLUTELY, LEE HANEY IS MY HERO! HIS OLYMPIA REIGN (1984-1991 WAS DURING MY CHILDHOOD, SERGIO OLIVIA SR. & ARNOLD SCHWARTZENEGGER WERE EXCEPT FOR 1980 OLYMPIA WERE BEFORE MY TIME, IN 1976 WHEN I WAS BORN FRANCO COLUMBU WON HIS FIRST OLYMPIA THEN HIS 2ND OLYMPIA IN 1981 WHEN I WAS 5
@@77MK- Ronnie Coleman is now so injured through lifting so much weights that he is now permanently injured. This guy I watched throughout his whole career is better than what I actually knew of him with his training methods and science of body building. I watched this interview from start to finish and I'm still inspired by Mr Haney.
Goooooooooooood interviewer. He let the man TALK! And he had a ton of pearls to give us. So many interviewers think we wanna hear THEM talk smh. Good job bro.👍🏾
Lee Haney has always been a first class guy and he continues to be a great representation for the sport and a positive influence on mankind as a whole. Great interview.
Build strength in off season, pre-exhausting legs, stimulate-not annihilate, maintain weight within striking distance, maticulous notes and using to analyze, then strategize, it never ends with Haney. In a class of his own.
Incredible interview with an incredible bodybuilder! Lee is clearly not only gifted to have an amazing physique, but also an attitude that seems increasingly rare to find in the world. Respect!
I'm not a Christian, but if someone really has the power for me to give Christianity one more try, is Lee Haney. His way of explaining faith makes a whole lot of sense, and his integrity is impeccable. I wish that was the approach to Jesus I was given when I was younger, instead of the mwgalomeniacal ogre I was brought up to "worship" and "adore". Thank you, Lee, for being such a great champion and an example of what a real man is supposed to be.
Just Another Guy You should've never left something that's not complicated. GOD is not complicated, it's religions and humans that have made GOD seem complicated just so people can run away and end up not obtaining the HOLY SPIRIT. The good book says the MOST HIGH hated religion, it's all about relationship and you guys always let the enemy complicate that because you really don't care nor love GOD
This man inspired me to get to the gym when I was an inactive overweight teenager back in the 80's. So great to see him doing well and staying healthy. What Lee isn't saying about bodybuilders today is that the kinds of drugs these guys are doing allow them to pack on to much muscle to fast and their joints, tendons, ligaments, and skeletal structure can't support it. Sure there were drugs back in those days, but not nearly as effective as the ones now.
Thats an interesting perspective on the drug use, man. I think its more that the drug protocols and quantities have improved/increased as I've seen countless 90s bodybuilders claim that the PEDs back then were in a different class to today's. Listening to interviews about their stacks, they are shockingly low compared to today's athletes (if they were being honest about the quantities).
I’m not sure about drugs being not as effective but what I do see is how the drugs are being abused. It seems back then they tried to use the bare minimum to get them to the next level as opposed today they want to go from amateur to pro overnight.
While In the Army in the 80’s, myself and a couple of buddies hit the gym in the evenings. I loved reading the Weider magazines for some tips and motivation. This is the first interview I’ve seen of him and am a huge fan now. Being humble is a big attribute to have. Thanks for inspiring me again at the age of 59! I’d forgotten he grew up only a couple of counties away from me. Awesome man!
The best articulated bodybuilder ever, I could listen to his wise words for hours... It seems his lessons can be taken beyond fitness and into all aspects of life. Truly the last of the great role models of bodybuilding
In late 80's and early 90's, Haney was in so many magazines. Only now I know how smart and gentleman he is. May Almighty God led him to success in this world and hereafter.
Decades ago I was a huge fan of bodybuilding and I had dozens and dozens of magazines that feature all the greats. So I've known of Lee Haney for pretty much all of his career. The one thing that really stands out after watching this interview is what a beautiful soul Lee Haney is. I'm so pleased to find out about this. He's the type of man who I would love to have as a friend.
Great Champion and a decent person that accomplished so much in this business. Perfect example to follow. True hero of our sport. Thank you for everything.
Lee Haney's Ultimate body building book which I would loan out from my local library...it helped me a lot in my bodybuilding ...it was my best friend back in the 90's...would read it over and over again.
I love the way how he approached and guided his kids. I expect my father to be the same but unfortunately, he isn't the way I expected. When I become a father I would use the same approach as Sir Lee Haney to my kids.
This guy !! I’ve always said that to myself “if I take care of my body, my body will take care of me” found some one that thinks the same ! Very inspiring words !
A truly mindful, sensible, intelligent man. Haney has given us a blueprint for healthy successful bodybuilding, with a stress on what to do & not to do, to avoid injuries so prevalent in bodybuilding. A truly fine Mr.Olympia representative.
I met Lee just before he started training for his first Olympia. Then saw him again in 2014 at the Olympia in Vegas which was my first time going to the Olympia. He was back then ('84) and still is today one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. He is truly a very humble gentleman.
Simply the best. I always loved Lee Haney when I was younger and I love him even more now hearing his story and how he has conducted his life. Thank you for sharing this.
I love that, Lee is not broken down and nearly immobile like Ronnie Coleman. There is no disrespect to Ronnie in this statement. Perhaps the judging criteria should be revamped so that these driven warriors are not risking the quality of their lives to win a bodybuilding contest.
Haney has to be the nicest guy in bodybuilding. Good, common sense approach to training, solid work ethic. A very worthy Mr. O and a credit to the sport/art of bodybuilding.
Dear God, how great is this man!!?? Years ago I was mad that Shawn Ray wasn't beating him for better arms. Lee's physique is totally complete, and what a well spoken gentleman:)
better arms because Shawna is short guy . another issue with shawn is His bceps does not have great peak like Haneys . Lastly shawna is very rude and arrogant and a backstabber .. he talk s... on the back his own buddies all the time .
I met Lee Haney in 1986 or '87 at Les Mills World of Fitness in Auckland New Zealand. I worked in the gym. What an amazing athlete and a genuine gentleman. Never forgotten the experience. It was just weeks after Lee had won Mr. Olympia (again?).... He was HUGE. He walked through the door into the gym and someone said "who turned out the lights". He blocked the sun lol.
Lee is an affable, humorous, generous and relatable individual its a pleasure to listen to him recounting his life and philosophy. Fantastic interviewer too letting the guy speak without a myriad of interruptions 10/10
A very intelligent man asked the right questions by a fantastic interviewer. I've been into bodybuilding seriously for a little over 8 months now (had been training prior, not seriously). I've learned more in this hour and a half than in my past 6 months of research and education! Unreal. Utmost respect for Lee, his achievements & his legacy! Thank you for sharing this with us brother. Have a blessed day
What you see is what you get with Lee Haney. I met Lee in Germany in 84 when I was in the US Army. Lee gave a seminar on bodybuilding and his words, wisdom and expertise was the same even back then. Lee thanks for inspiring me as a 20 something and now 60. Great interview.
Lee is the quintessential southern gentleman. If Arnold’s record ever had to be beaten, I’m glad it was done by someone with Lee’s disposition and moral character
Disgusting profile picture man! Errr
You nailed it
Exactly
So true, such a gentle guy!
I couldn't say it better myself thank you-)
When lee Haney speaks, you can't help but listen.
The man makes sense!
He commands an audience
If all male bodybuilders had the class Lee Haney has, bodybuilding would be an Olympic sport !!!!!
What an amazing man !!!
PEDs aren’t allowed in the olympics and we all know natural bodybuilding is boring
That is a tantamount lie! The steroid testing alone would fail the entire program. And if bodybuilding was allowed, then the entire Olympics would be nothing but steroid users, etc: swimming, wrestling, track and field, it would be ridiculous.

Lee Haney attained Mass with Class and in 1991 he won his eighth consecutive Mr. Olympia at his best physique ever. Defeating Dorian Yates in the process. He has no blemish on his record. He is the greatest bodybuilder of all time in my opinion.
What a testimony to the Lord
Ass kiss.

I dont compare bodybuilders accross eras but if I were to aspire to be any bodybuilder it would be Lee. Best ive seen in 1991 254 32 inch waist 2 kids no acne his real hair lol
Wow! Brilliant interview. Why oh why is Haney not respected more? Everyone talks about Zane, Platz and Arnie but Haney needs to be at the top. What a champion and gentleman. Thank you
That’s strange because I always see Arnold,Lee,Frank,Dorian and Ronnie being talked about the most
Excellent question. I think its because he fell in between everyone. Like Arnold was the trailblazer, Frank Zane was the king of asthetics, Dorian and Ronnie were the monster mass guys. I don't know.
Because he loves the Lord😇👑🦅
He’s HIGHLY respected by the people who know.
It's no wonder Lee's legacy has endured so long. Awesome bodybuilder but an even more awesome human being.
Where as some people focus on one specific area he seemed to focus on all aspects of his life.

I wish that was the approach to Jesus I was given when I was younger, instead of the mwgalomeniacal ogre I was brought up to "worship" and "adore". Thank you, Lee, for being such a great champion and an example of what a real man is supposed to be.
The past year I came back to Christ. It's worth another shot. I feel most of us go astray not because of God but "religions" and "churchs".
Ricky Torres it's not Lee's fault you rather be atheist and don't wanna be held accountable
Just Another Guy You should've never left something that's not complicated. GOD is not complicated, it's religions and humans that have made GOD seem complicated just so people can run away and end up not obtaining the HOLY SPIRIT. The good book says the MOST HIGH hated religion, it's all about relationship and you guys always let the enemy complicate that because you really don't care nor love GOD
What Must I Do To Be Saved?

Or, you could just find an atheist bodybuilder... might be easier
Haney is pure class! Huge inspiration to me back in 1991 when I started lifting.
Lee is such a class act. No more deserving champion. He is, what is best, in this sport, and in life.
jeez, what id do to spend a day with Lee, I could listen to him speak all day.
This man inspired me to get to the gym when I was an inactive overweight teenager back in the 80's. So great to see him doing well and staying healthy.
What Lee isn't saying about bodybuilders today is that the kinds of drugs these guys are doing allow them to pack on to much muscle to fast and their joints, tendons, ligaments, and skeletal structure can't support it. Sure there were drugs back in those days, but not nearly as effective as the ones now.
Thats an interesting perspective on the drug use, man. I think its more that the drug protocols and quantities have improved/increased as I've seen countless 90s bodybuilders claim that the PEDs back then were in a different class to today's. Listening to interviews about their stacks, they are shockingly low compared to today's athletes (if they were being honest about the quantities).
I’m not sure about drugs being not as effective but what I do see is how the drugs are being abused. It seems back then they tried to use the bare minimum to get them to the next level as opposed today they want to go from amateur to pro overnight.
This man is brilliant.....no wonder he won all those olympias.
I am still honoured to have met Lee, and Shirley, early 80's, what a wonderful man!
While In the Army in the 80’s, myself and a couple of buddies hit the gym in the evenings. I loved reading the Weider magazines for some tips and motivation. This is the first interview I’ve seen of him and am a huge fan now. Being humble is a big attribute to have. Thanks for inspiring me again at the age of 59! I’d forgotten he grew up only a couple of counties away from me. Awesome man!
The best articulated bodybuilder ever, I could listen to his wise words for hours... It seems his lessons can be taken beyond fitness and into all aspects of life. Truly the last of the great role models of bodybuilding
In late 80's and early 90's, Haney was in so many magazines. Only now I know how smart and gentleman he is. May Almighty God led him to success in this world and hereafter.
LEE HANEY a class act. The sport needs to see more people like you. The gentleman of bodybuilding a true Christian. God Bless
Pure class. A total Gentleman.Inspirational.
Class personified. Thank you Mr. Olympia Lee Haney!
Only knew Lee Haney from the stage but now listening to him for the first time, what a nice and inspiring person he is. Beautiful!
Decades ago I was a huge fan of bodybuilding and I had dozens and dozens of magazines that feature all the greats. So I've known of Lee Haney for pretty much all of his career. The one thing that really stands out after watching this interview is what a beautiful soul Lee Haney is. I'm so pleased to find out about this. He's the type of man who I would love to have as a friend.
Sir Lee Haney is an ABSOLUTE MASTERCLASS 🙏🏾
Great Champion and a decent person that accomplished so much in this business. Perfect example to follow. True hero of our sport. Thank you for everything.
Lee Haney's Ultimate body building book which I would loan out from my local library...it helped me a lot in my bodybuilding ...it was my best friend back in the 90's...would read it over and over again.
One of the greatest Bodybuilders and a true gentleman.
What a classy guy, and one of the greatest bodybuilding physiques of all time.
Lee is a great all around example for life not just Mr. Olympia.
Phenomenal transparency, simplicity and testimony of faith! Thank you!!!
This has to be the most beautiful interview.... ever! So insightful. Thank you for bringing this to light.
I love the way how he approached and guided his kids. I expect my father to be the same but unfortunately, he isn't the way I expected. When I become a father I would use the same approach as Sir Lee Haney to my kids.
This guy !! I’ve always said that to myself “if I take care of my body, my body will take care of me” found some one that thinks the same ! Very inspiring words !
A truly mindful, sensible, intelligent man.
Haney has given us a blueprint for healthy successful bodybuilding, with a stress on what to do & not to do, to avoid injuries so prevalent in bodybuilding.
A truly fine Mr.Olympia representative.
Beautiful, I'm 46 and this genius amazes me every time. Keep leaving your mark brother
He did give me any gifts at all, especially body building
You can see how the grace of god walks with him.... you can’t mess with gym ...great champion ,
lee haney is a good dude i grew up watching and admiring him this is a great interview with a bodybuiding legend thanks lee haney.
I met Lee just before he started training for his first Olympia. Then saw him again in 2014 at the Olympia in Vegas which was my first time going to the Olympia. He was back then ('84) and still is today one of the nicest people I have ever met in my life. He is truly a very humble gentleman.
Simply the best. I always loved Lee Haney when I was younger and I love him even more now hearing his story and how he has conducted his life. Thank you for sharing this.
I love that, Lee is not broken down and nearly immobile like Ronnie Coleman. There is no disrespect to Ronnie in this statement. Perhaps the judging criteria should be revamped so that these driven warriors are not risking the quality of their lives to win a bodybuilding contest.
WONDERFUL spokesman for bodybuilding, faith and life in general. Love you Lee!
What a beautiful man. Such great positive energy and character
This is quality content! 10/10 Lee Haney is a legend
Haney has to be the nicest guy in bodybuilding. Good, common sense approach to training, solid work ethic. A very worthy Mr. O and a credit to the sport/art of bodybuilding.
Love his confidence, some may say it’s an ego but it’s his belief and competence that made him champion for so many years. Great physique, great man!
I love Lee Haney's character, deminer , attitude, way of speaking . Very humble down to earth ,strong minded and intelligent. 💪🏾👍👌💙
Lee Haney you made my day better. Thank you sir. 💪🏾👍🏾. Well back to my workout.
Lee really is the best ever. The way the man speaks is just really inspiring. He is consistent and his personality is infectious.
Wow. What an amazing interview. Lee is a world class man.
Dear God, how great is this man!!??
Years ago I was mad that Shawn Ray wasn't beating him for better arms.
Lee's physique is totally complete, and what a well spoken gentleman:)
better arms because Shawna is short guy . another issue with shawn is His bceps does not have great peak like Haneys . Lastly shawna is very rude and arrogant and a backstabber .. he talk s... on the back his own buddies all the time .
So much wisdom in roughly 1 and a half hour. I am uplifted. Thank you !
Very wise man.
Rarely will you find a bodybuilder with this kind of insight.
Great interview!!
A great man! One of the greatest in bodybuilding history.
I met Lee Haney in 1986 or '87 at Les Mills World of Fitness in Auckland New Zealand. I worked in the gym. What an amazing athlete and a genuine gentleman. Never forgotten the experience. It was just weeks after Lee had won Mr. Olympia (again?).... He was HUGE. He walked through the door into the gym and someone said "who turned out the lights". He blocked the sun lol.
😂😂😂
Lee.. What a true classy guy! 💪
Lee is an affable, humorous, generous and relatable individual its a pleasure to listen to him recounting his life and philosophy. Fantastic interviewer too letting the guy speak without a myriad of interruptions 10/10
A very intelligent man asked the right questions by a fantastic interviewer. I've been into bodybuilding seriously for a little over 8 months now (had been training prior, not seriously). I've learned more in this hour and a half than in my past 6 months of research and education! Unreal. Utmost respect for Lee, his achievements & his legacy! Thank you for sharing this with us brother. Have a blessed day
Lee was really very educational when telling a little knowledge of how to work out without hurting yourself. I need to get his books
An absolute legend, and true nice guy!
One of the best interviews with Lee Haney, an icon and great ambassador for bodybuilding and just an all round holistic human being.
God Bless you Lee Haney!!! 🙏🏽
Humbling. A living legend. On honest wise man. True respect & blessings to you Lee.
WOW!Charles Atlas!
Such a genuine and enlightening interview, thanks for sharing 💪🏼
When I began lifting Lee was the top of the mountain slaying all who tried to dethrone him. Class bodybuilder, class gentleman
This was an incredible interview! Hercules' experience/advice is so unique yet universal.
What you see is what you get with Lee Haney. I met Lee in Germany in 84 when I was in the US Army. Lee gave a seminar on bodybuilding and his words, wisdom and expertise was the same even back then. Lee thanks for inspiring me as a 20 something and now 60. Great interview.
Very wise man and an absolute legend 👌🏻 what a great interview
Lee is a great man. A terrific role model and man of God. I learned a lot from this interview during my cut!!
