A Conversation with Jesse James

[@MyBiggiebig]

I was always a fan, from the first show of the Discovery Series, then I had the amazing experience of sitting next to Jesse on a 4 hour flight from Newark to Austin about 3 years ago. I was sitting in my seat when he came onboard and sat down next to me. I said, "well, I'm safe on this flight, I have the Pope sitting next to me." He laughed, put out his hand, and said "I'm Jesse". The next 4 hours was the best schooling I ever had. I was in between jobs and his words of wisdom, honest talk and perspective set me back on course. He is the genuine article. The real deal. And every penny he has made, he earned. Forget the tattoos and mystique. This is a solid smart and good human being. All the best Jesse, and thanks for the ride!

[@VerissimusAurelius]

I had the same experience as a pilot flying a private jet for Pearl Jam. I met Eddie Vedder and Stone, thinking they were the "roadies" and it was really great to find out later they were the famous stars...and folks loved it when i posted that on youtube for eddies ukulele performance...folks LOVED knowing they werre the real deal.....I also started watching Discovery when Jesse started...did you ever see the trip he took with Kid Rock to Mexico? He is watching these kids piled in the back of this pickup...a ton of them...and him and kid rock say "that is freedom baby" or something like that....and how you can't do it in America...I love Jesse...he is the rebel spirit of America. we need more like him.

[@burnout9069]

It's funny siting back with a bit of life experience. Seeing thing personally and that from others around you. It's all to easy to judge standing on the outside looking in. You hear a story and with out thought people are quick to slander a man with out question. Until it happened to you, then you see how easy people, even friends will turn their backs believing some bullshit with out digging deeper. Yeah Jesse fucked up. And royally at that. No doubt that taints any man. But, he also came forward, openly admitting his mistakes. Not for press, not for fame. He was asked first. He never brought the topic up himself. How many people would do the same in a room full of family and friends watching you? Not to fucking many a can tell you. All to many times I've seen those who preach or moth off the loudest are the once whome vanish when their wrongs are shown. Hate the man or love him. But see him as a whole for the years he's become. Not the 5 minutes of stupidity. Fame can change any one. Don't think for a moment, you would be so (edit) graceful given thes same opertunities.

SPUR Leadership+ That was easily one of, if not the BEST JJ interviews I have ever seen! My family has had the toughest 3 years of our lives from April 2016, until now. I have a shop in Detroit where I restore and build cars & motorcycles and after the emotional trauma (for lack of a better word, actually that's a good summary) I closed my shop Dec 2017 and started to look at myself and my life and decided I seriously needed to change some things and now Im revamping everything, adjusting my focus, a little and relaunching my shop and even though I've been down this road when I first started, I have no safety net or family to help should things go sideways and there's no room whatsoever for mistakes. On one hand, I appreciate what I have, my familly, machinery, my talent, MY HANDS lol And this interview was exactly what I needed to hear tonight (its 4:08am and I'm actually working still while I listened to this, work never stops, which is an amazing thing!) Thanks Again for posting this. I hope a lot of people got as much out of it as I did!

I can relate. Jesse is a real person with a real dream. Loved everything I saw with him on television. Inspired greatly. Never stop being you.

[@canders7133]

Jesse: (at 21:25) ...”what do you know about life ...if you’ve never broken anything?”... That’s the hard truth. None of us want to break ourselves, our relationships, our businesses ...whatever. We just do because we are a broken people in a broken world. Christ said: “In this world you will have trouble”. I know I’ve broken more than my share of all the above. God loved me anyway and gave his Son for me/those broken moments. That’s why I love Jesus! Mac, your interview with JJ was so genuinely well done I subscribed ...and I rarely subscribe to any of these content providers. Bravo! ...seriously BRAVO!

Ive often thought that about work. That it should clear your mind from personal life and life should clear your mind from work.

[@gordonbombay676]

As someone who was a manager for 8 years, you'll find quickly 80% of people don't look at it that way. I used to hear sob stories of everything everyone had going on outside of work. And never put my own problems on anyone at work. But always had to fix everyone elses problems. I used to tell people this should be a happy place. As soon as you walk though the front door at work you have nothing else to worry about until its time to go home. And people would think i was crazy for saying that.

[@sammyb.6129]

You are alot happier in life if you enjoy your job .... I get the part about working thru all of the hurt and pain...it keeps your mind off it.. For those 8 to 10 12 15 hours I used to stay way over at work just to get thru personal shit....

[@shanewoolsey940]

I was born in 1965 and I had those 70's parents. Saturday family night, pizza and roller disco. Sunday afternoon, hot dogs at the drag strip. Choppers were part of pop culture in the 70's and I was obsessed with them. Later in life I became addicted to heroin (a long and ugly story) and when I was fighting to kick, I saw the first motorcycle mania. I'm not going to say Mr. James saved my life, but he sure was inspiring. I moved back to the sticks, learned how to weld and now make an honest living. I haven't even spoken to a cop in years.

[@anthonymiller8989]

Tony & Susan here, We met Jesse in 2001 at Sturges Rally , he was in turmoil with the show due to booth placement. But as soon as we walk in to his booth he stopped and spent time with us so friendly and accommodating. Watched all his Shit and love it . The real deal for sure. And I have broken many bones some at work and some at play , kind of feel a kindred spirit with this guy.
