Kevin Hart Inspires with Life Lessons from Jay Z and Oprah + is Brutally Honest in New Book

Kevin Hart is Brutally Honest in His New Book ‘I Can’t Make This Up: Life Lessons’ + Learning from Legends in the Industry & Speaks on New Partnership With Lionsgate.
He dominated 2016 by earning more than $80 million, making him the highest-paid comedian of the year according to Forbes. Today on Sway in the Morning we chopped it up with stand-up comic-actor-producer Kevin Hart about his latest endeavors. Hart is adding the title of author to his resume with the release of his memoir “I Can’t Make This Up: Life Lessons,” which goes on sale tomorrow.
The 37-year-old opens up about his relationship with close family members, overcoming his mistakes and staying true to his journey in his new book. “I decided to tell a story that showed what helped develop me into the man that I am today.”
Hart speaks on meeting legendary manager and talent coordinator, Lucien Hold, of New York’s Comic Strip. Despite it being the biggest rejection of his career, Hart explains how he persisted and eventually created his own path (and that he has).
The man has a work ethic like no other. He’s partnered with Lionsgate to create a global platform for comedians “Laugh Out Loud Network.” He explains how he’s continually inspired by businesspeople and philanthropists around him. “Surround yourself with people that make you check yourself.”

This guy Kevin Hart man.. he makes me want to get up from my seat at work right now and go out to accomplish what I really want to

[@joshuag544]

Donte Looney Facts bro. Then you smoke a blunt & fall back into your regular scheduled program 😂😂

Nobody can stop u but u....

Did u do it?

[@CHICOIZPAIN]

NOPE... LOL

[@GapToothQueen]

His story about the guy turning him down & telling him comedy wasn't for him is sooo inspiring!!! People can't always see your vision. You just have to know who you are.🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@imoor1]

SlowClass Kai comedy is also subjective..just cause you may not think something is funny doesn't mean it isn't.

[@mukhtaarkarama]

hands down by far the hardest working man in the industry

[@jariusspear]

Mukhtaar Mohammed who had their hands up

[@purrinkittyz4737]

Mukhtaar Mohammed That's a lie! 50 cent, Jay Z, Diddy! Samuel L Jackson (That fool made more movies in w years than Kevin has in his entire career).

[@lovelyme5304]

Maybe Steve Harvey too I must say ☺

[@nickfullen-collins7223]

Mukhtaar Mohammed him and The Rock!

[@iyke4566]

Doing what? That's another important question

[@JaeThaGemini]

This guy is one of the greatest black male influences in the industry. You get nothing but positive vibes as well as knowledge from him. If my son were to tell me he wanted to be like Kevin Hart, I wouldn't even be upset.

[@shanyettarice]

Truly Makel of wdcgyyffcvgttgyuyvv

[@infinitybless7132]

I feel what you are saying but your son is not Kevin he is himself. Love who he is by embracing what he learns from others... 💕

[@JaeThaGemini]

@@infinitybless7132 i dont have a son

[@100Grand4eva]

That flip flop noise though. lmao

[@122891140]

100Grand4eva I love you

[@drushing001]

Kevin Hart must have been trained for interview. This dude gives the best interviews. He is comical, drops gems, knowledgeable and just overall great interviewee.

[@Lvcharm]

drushing001 ... . He is a wise man , Kevin exercises personal accountability(gems): The milestone to personal growth and his wisdom.

[@patsballinoutthisyear6821]

*He's going to be a BILLIONAIRE soon*.

[@mayankgulati26]

Amen to that

[@MisterFoxx]

Doubt it. Jay-Z, Diddy, Dre, and Tyler Perry not even there yet.

[@hotepkennels]

@@MisterFoxx So... it isn't based on time. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@MisterFoxx]

Hotep Kennels it isn’t based on time. Although time can be an important factor, but if the guys I mentioned (minus Jay-Z) haven’t become billionaires yet, then I don’t know if Kevin Hart will. Also, I made this comment two years ago lol

[@hotepkennels]

@@MisterFoxx Bruh'... people pass people up all the time. It's about making the right choices in business & investing that grows your portfolio. It's not a race, persa... and they're definitely way ahead of him... but one thing can just be more lucrative than another. Jeff Bezos BEEN behind Warren and them... but passed them up, quick... beat them to 100 Billion! It can be done... just because you're ahead... doesn't mean you'll stay ahead. Also... it doesn't matter... I'm just now getting it recommended to me. 🤷🏾‍♂️ I'm sure he's worth more, now... as LOL Network has launched a couple of films... if I'm not mistaken... and who knows what else... and film is more lucrative than music... hense why rappers become actors... and Master P is trying to get more money with it, now.

[@EdwardSanchezProductions]

Kevin Hart is the man

[@ernestmenchaca556]

Damn bro dropping knowledge Thanks Kev message received

[@triXXareN]

Man dropped a few gems on here, didn't expect it. Dope interview.

[@GoodFilms28]

triXXareN Didn't expect that? Insulting

[@triXXareN]

Why is that insulting? In almost every interview he does he jokes around and it's all laugh and smiles. This was a more in-depth and insightful interview.

[@GoodFilms28]

triXXareN His last interview there and Breakfast Club he was dropping gems. You obviously didn't watch them through.

[@digitalfree]

triXXareN don't worry people say stupid shit often without any real consideration or basis

[@thestrategicoreo]

triXXareN every interview he drops gems

[@rickywilliams9176]

it's like every interview he just be dropping jewels. definitely motivated

[@j.k.1058]

What he says about people being selfish is true. But only because they feel as if they share their secrets of success, they wouldn't be as unique as they think they are.

[@asher6901]

J.K. Felt the same. How can you expect a growth in the game if you ain't share secrets, but they still wanna be seen as unique.

[@beeeez5978]

Okay, I teared up just a lil bit, I didn't cry tho!

[@dipmeingloss]

kevin one of my favorite comedians of all time.💖👌. "you can't look at him without smiling or dying laughing.😭 can you scream "positive vibes. this whole interview was an inspiration. if you want something go out here in this crazy world & go get it, your accomplishments/achievements are endless.💯 the only person who can block your blessings is (YOU). what's meant for you will always be for you, nobody can come between what's destined for you. you can have a clear vision but sometimes people have a blurry visual of your success.

[@NytzInAllWays]

his next stand up special is ganna be called " i checked myself " lol big up to kevin man

[@adnanabbas2717]
