I was excited about taking a shot the
fact that it was so strange you know as
an artist it was fun to get out on that
on that limb and hoping it doesn’t break
under your feet you’re like the prince
but now you’re the king of Instagram I
know I was like how come you’ve embraced
social media in this way like cuz for
the longest you know you have this
mystique behind you
well in you know when I when I started
the the the only way to be a movie star
was through distance and mystery and
mystique right that was the the the way
is that you know yeah you could see me
on July 4 in the movie theater right so
that was the way keeping that distance
was how you maintained star power and in
the last five years that shifted much
more to a friendship model like people
support artists that they feel like they
know thoroughly that they’re friends
right so that the social media
the daily interaction is much more like
a family friendship kind of interaction
that is an audience demand for for you
know their loyalty but is there such
thing as revealing too much
not in this world for too much data
that’s personal you know like it’s it’s
what can you handle you know I think one
of the major one of the beautiful parts
of social media that I think is a
beautiful evolutionary thing is that
social media demands authenticity right
so social media pushes you more and more
into having to reveal what’s true
because if you don’t you know TMZ is
going to you know so it’s you know it’s
a beautiful thing I’m and I’m actually
enjoying the push right nobody’s happy
who doesn’t get to beat himself right so
the the the eyes and ears of the world
are starting to demand more and more
authenticity where you gotta say was
true for you and live or die by what
that is so I’m enjoying the the social
demand for authenticity I’m coming into
a space how have you maintained your
authenticity because I mean you come
from Philly I’m going through everything
like your journeys being crazy like how
have you maintained that um you know
it’s really interesting is it’s like the
idea I I haven’t maintained my
authenticity per se I’ve maintained my
character right I’ve maintained my
beliefs character in two senses I’ve
maintained my character of Will Smith
and I’ve maintained my personal
character of what I believe in so but in
terms of authenticity the character Will
Smith signs every autograph and is
always happy and wants to see the fans
and is always in a good mood and that’s
actually not often authentic right
actually I do want to slap some somebody
you know every once in a while so in
terms of authenticity I have
successfully maintained positivity and
now I’m working more to maintain
authenticity I’m granting myself the
freedom to not give when I don’t give
Yeah right and now I’m working into a
space of much more authenticity
everybody’s saying you need to be
authentic you need to be authentic you
need to be authentic the number one rule
on social medias you need to be
authentic and I absolutely agree but
then it’s like how do you do it how do
you how do you be authentic here’s how
you do it if you want to be out that
thing this is the way you find the thing
that you are most scared of sharing and
you share it that’s it find the thing
that you are the most scared of people
knowing about and tell people about it
because that’s actual voter bility if
you want to be authentic you want people
to connect with you it’s through
vulnerability they have to know that
this is something that you are afraid of
sharing that you might not be
comfortable with that you feel awkward
around and that’s the thing that will
connect people to you because otherwise
if you’re this perfect person and you
have no insecurities nobody wants to
connect with the perfect person they
want to connect with the people who look
like them who have insecurities and they
fought with their way through it
so as an example I was in Los Angeles
recently I was at a van I was speaking
at and two quick moments one I was
feeling really introverted and and I’m
an introvert by nature and so I just
spent an entire day of helping
entrepreneurs and talking to people and
all the VIPs and speakers were invited
to go out to this fancy restaurant and
go car it’s all this fun stuff and like
you know what I don’t I’m not feeling it
I’m feeling introverted and so despite
having multiple invitations to go do
stuff I decided I was gonna walk to
subway instead of going to the fancy
dinner I’m gonna walk the subway by
myself and I’m gonna walk back and I’m
gonna sit there at the I’ll sit in the
lobby and I’ll talk to people but I
don’t want to go up to the fancy stuff
and so I gave myself permission to be an
introvert on my walk and walk back I
went on Instagram and I filmed it so
instead of it just being a moment to
myself that I’m worried about what other
people are thinking here’s a speaker
come
to this event I went on Instagram and I
filmed it and I went to my vlog and I
filmed it and so there’s me walking on
the streets and I’m feeling introverted
today guys and that’s okay like it’s
awesome to be an introvert when you’re
feeling it embrace it you know a lot of
people might judge me for doing this but
whatever I’m an introvert and that got
so many comments from people to say yeah
I’m an introvert too and I always felt
bad about taking time for myself or like
yeah I totally get where you’re coming
from and so the thing that most people
are afraid of doing that’s the thing you
need to lean in on and do and share I’m
a weird duck in that I love anything
that that I’m afraid of judgment on I
think you need to inoculate yourself
against judgment and so whenever you
feel yourself worried about what
somebody else is gonna think about you
then you have to go and do that thing
even if it’s not your expression like
being an introvert is my expression I
want to share something but even if it’s
not your expression that’s worth doing
just to release the fear of judgment
just to inoculate yourself against
judgments so I’m on the plane I never
stopped over in Houston and I’m trying
to catch some sleep because I haven’t
slept in four days and the guy next to
me is is coughing every eighteen and a
half seconds it’s the best apparently
has a cough allergy to something he’s
not sick you just allergic to something
that causes the cough okay awesome and
so I had my sleep mask on I had this
blue sleep mask I’m gonna get it this is
it I have this blue sleep mask on
let me see like this like this I have
the blue sleep bass sound like this I’m
on the plane I’m trying to sleep it’s
not happening cuz this guy’s coughing
all the time and so I’m about to get off
the plane in Houston for my stopover and
I don’t notice that I have my sleep mask
on and I catch heard the last seconds
like oh I’m a sleep mask on I need to
take it off and for a half a second I
recognize that 3% of the reason why I
had to take it off was because I was
afraid of judgement of walking around
the Houston Airport with a mask on my
face and because that was even 3% of the
reason why I wanted to take it off then
I had to go the entire the entire
stopover with the mask on my face just
to inoculate myself against a judgment
like this is
how you start becoming authentic when
you stop caring about what other people
think it’s not just telling yourself
stop caring people think it’s doing the
thing whenever you catch yourself in a
moment where you were afraid of somebody
else’s judgment then you have to go off
and do that thing even if it’s not an
expression of yourself just to conquer
it just to inoculate yourself against
the judgment and so I walked through the
airport people are looking at me I’m the
only one with this thing on my face and
then to step it up I start I take out my
phone and I started doing DMS so I this
is what I normally do at an airport when
I got downtime I’ll do Instagram DMS
it’s like you know what I’m gonna do my
DMS I got 50 people in my inbox that I
got to get back to I’m not just gonna
type it up everybody gets a video
message everybody gets a video message
with me with this crazy mask on one by
one and I’ll eat that judgment and so
that process of inoculating yourself
against judgment anytime you feel the
burn of somebody’s eyes on you or the
potential burn of somebody’s eyes on you
then you have to go off and do that
thing and being willing to share the
thing that you are afraid of sharing
showing the vulnerability opening up
your wounds because if you walk around
an armor all day long if you’re trying
to protect the thing that you’re so
afraid of sharing that people will know
about you then people will never connect
with you then your content will never
win then you will never send out then
you’ll never go off and accomplish your
goals
if it is to build a social media brand
if you want to build a personal brand
it’s gonna come from the vulnerabilities
from the chinks in your armor from the
weaknesses not from the places that you
think you’re super strong in that’s it
that’s how you be authentic it’s painful
but it’s real if you can share that then
people will love you now I’ve got a
really special bonus clip but before
that question of the day I want to know
what are you so afraid of sharing let me
know
I never knew that the way people
described you would become a prison
until they did it when I met me I was
not a preacher so I didn’t know that
they would incarcerate me with the title
you are at your best when you are
authentic to your core and you have to
be what you are not what they call you
sometimes see you appear to say what I’m
saying sometimes people will call you a
name and you start living up to the name
and it limits you from what else God
wants to do in your life
raise your standard it’s not one drop of
my self-worth depends on your it’s
something serene if you want more Will
Smith check at the top 50 rules video
that I made on him the link is right
there next to me I think you’ll enjoy it
continue to believe and I’ll see you
there you know I’ve never seen myself as
particularly talented where I excel is
I’m willing to die in the process of acquiring skill
