>>> STEVE HARVEY IS THE ULTIMATE RENAISSANCE MAN, A COMEDIAN, TALK SHOW HOST, PHILANTHROPIST, FATHER AND BEST-SELLING AUTHOR WHOSE BOOKS HAVE BEEN TRANSLATED INTO 30 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. >> YOU KNOW THOSE BOOKS VERY WELL. BUT BEFORE HE REACHED THE TOP OF HIS GAME, STEVE HAD TO HIT ROCK BOTTOM. TAKE A LOOK. >> I USED TO SPEND THE NIGHT IN HOTEL PARKING LOTS, WHAT WAS I GOING TO DO, I HAD NOWHERE TO STAY, SO I LIVED IN A CAR. I HAD $35. AND I SAID, COME ON, GOD, MAN, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO MAKE THIS DREAM COME TRUE, YOU LEFT ME OUT HERE LIKE THIS. AND I WAS CRYING SO HARD THAT HE JUST SAID, I DIDN'T LIKE HEAR A VOICE OR NOTHING, BUT HE SPOKE TO ME AND HE SAID, IF YOU GET UP, I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU PLACES YOU AIN'T NEVER BEEN. >> OH, MY GOD. >> I LOVE THAT STORY. WHAT HAPPENED? >> YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU MAKE SOME DECISIONS THAT DON'T QUITE GO THE WAY YOU PLANNED AND SO I JUMPED INTO COMEDY AT 27, AND I QUIT MY JOB, I WON AMATEUR NIGHT OCTOBER 8th, 1995, I WENT TO WORK OCTOBER 9th AND QUIT MY JOB WITH $35. A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER, THAT DECISION CAUSED ME TO BE HOMELESS AND I LIVED IN A CAR FOR THREE OR FOUR YEARS. >> I FEEL LIKE LISTENING TO THAT, PEOPLE AT HOME MAY NOT KNOW THAT ABOUT YOU. THEY MAY SEE THE SUCCESS, BUT THEY HAVEN'T SEEN THE ROAD IT TAKES TO GET THERE FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE HURTING, YOU KNOW, IT IS THE BEGINNING OF A YEAR, PEOPLE WANT TO RESET. WHAT KIND OF ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR THEM? >> YOU KNOW SOMETHING, THOUGH, I HEARD TOM HANKS SAY SOMETHING ON TV THAT REALLY STUCK WITH ME. AND IF I COULD TELL MY YOUNGEST SELF THIS I WOULD TELL IT TO YOUNG PEOPLE THAT ARE STRUGGLING, THIS TOO SHALL PASS. I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH, IT IS GOING TO GO BY. IT ALWAYS DOES. YOU CAN'T NAME A SINGLE THING THAT YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN OVER CURRENTLY PUTTING YOURSELF THROUGH RIGHT NOW. AS IFS. YOU JUST GOT TO HANG IN THERE. IT GOES AWAY. THE PART THAT GETS PEOPLE IS WHEN THEY THINK THERE IS NO HOPE THAT IT WON'T GO PAST, BUT IT ALWAYS DOES. >> YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH YOUR SHARE OF STUFF TOO. YOU WENT THROUGH A BREAKUP IN YOUR LIFE AND SOME PEOPLE MAY SEE THAT AS THE WORST MOMENT. BUT IT ACTUALLY LED YOU TO YOUR SOUL MATE. YOU NEEDED THAT. DIDN'T YOU? >> SOMETIMES THE BREAKUP IS THE BLESSING. A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT. YOU KNOW, PEOPLE WANT TO END IT WHEN THEY BREAK UP WITH SOMEBODY. BUT YOU BREAK UP FOR A REASON. SOMETIMES IT IS JUST YOU GOT TO GET AWAY. YOU GOT TO LOOK FOR THE BRIGHT SIDE IN EVERYTHING. AND MY BRIGHT SIDE WAS HER. YOU KNOW, 16 YEARS AGO NOW. AND, YOU KNOW, BEST THING EVER HAPPENED TO ME, YOU KNOW. THIS GIRL WAS, LIKE, LIKE EVERYTHING FOR ME. EVERYTHING I WAS MISSING. >> HOW DID YOU KNOW? BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES YOU'LL MEET SOMEONE AND THEY SEEM GREAT, BUT HOW DID YOU KNOW SHE WAS MORE THAN THAT? >> CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING? MEN KNOW. >> REALLY? >> WE KNOW IF YOU'RE THE ONE OR YOU'RE NOT. WE CAN STRING YOU ALONG IF YOU'RE INTO THE, BUT WE KNOW. >> REALLY? >> AIN'T NO WE HAVE BEEN DATING FOR EIGHT YEARS AND WE NOT SURE. MEN -- LET ME STOP THIS. MEN KNOW. YOU CAN ASK THEM POINT BLANK. THE PROBLEM IS WOMEN HAVE A FEAR OF ASKING BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH. MEN KNOW. >> RIGHT AWAY? >> IT DON'T TAKE US A YEAR. WE'RE NOT THAT BRIGHT. WE'RE DUDES. WE'RE JUST DUDES. WE KNOW WITHIN A YEAR IF YOU'RE THE ONE OR NOT. NOW, IF YOU CAN DO SOMETHING CRAZY, THAT'S DIFFERENT. BUT WE KNOW WITHIN A YEAR. SO ALL THIS -- WE HAVE BEEN DATING FOR EIGHT YEARS AND HE AIN'T ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM. HE'S NOT. WHAT ARE YOU SITTING THERE FOR? >> YOUR ADVICE, FIRST OF ALL, IT IS THE BEST. WE JUST TALKED ABOUT YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER LORI. SHE WAS ON THE COVER OF "ESSENCE" MAGAZINE. SHE JUST HAS DONE SOME REALLY PROFOUND THINGS ABOUT CHOOSING HERSELF. SHE JUST WENT THROUGH A PRETTY PUBLIC BREAKUP. DID YOU GIVE HER ANY ADVICE? >> I GOT TO BE CAREFUL HOW I ANSWER THIS. >> YOU CAN DO IT. >> MY DAUGHTER -- MY DAUGHTER IS IN MY BEHIND. I'M NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING. I'M GIVING HER ADVICE QUITE A FEW TIMES. BUT, YOU KNOW, IT IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE SHE'S 25, SHE'S GROWING UP IN -- AS A PUBLIC FIGURE. SHE DOESN'T GET TO MAKE HER MISTAKES LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. EVERYBODY ELSE GETS TO MAKE THEIR TAKES IN THE CLOAK OF DARKNESS AT YOUR HOUSE. HERS GETS PUBLICIZED. BUT SHE'S DONE A REALLY GOOD JOB OF FIGURING IT OUT AND GETTING IT RIGHT AND I THINK SHE'S AT A GREAT PLACE IN HER LIFE RIGHT NOW. I THINK SHE'S CONTENT WITH LORI. AND I THINK THAT'S A GREAT PLACE FOR HER TO START. >> I LOVE HOW SHE SAID, SHE'S GOING TO BE SELFISH AND THAT SHOULDN'T BE TAKEN THE WRONG WAY. I'M LOOKING OUT FOR ME, WHAT ARE THINGS I NEED, THINGS THAT FULFILL ME. THAT FEELS LIKE A PAGE FROM YOUR BOOK. >> THAT'S FOR WOMEN, THOUGH. YOU GET THE BEST OUT OF A MAN AND OUT OF LIFE WHEN YOU GET THE BEST OUT OF YOURSELF. IF YOU COME INTO A RELATIONSHIP WANTING, NEEDING, EMPTY, YOU COME IN EMPTY, A PERSON CAN POUR TO YOU WHATEVER THEY WANT. IF YOU COME IN ALREADY FULL, I'M ALREADY FULL, SO I NEED YOU TO MAKE ADDITIONS. YOU DON'T GOT TO -- I DON'T NEED YOU POURING NOTHING IN ME, YOU KNOW. THAT USUALLY DON'T WORK OUT. >> STEVE, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU SAY IS THAT HEALTH IS A HUGE PRIORITY FOR YOU. AND YOU HAVE A VERY COOL NEW VENTURE THAT IS -- I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL BE INTERESTED IN. >> YEAH, YOU KNOW, HEALTH IS REALLY YOUR WEALTH. AND I WAS GOING THROUGH A PERIOD WHERE I WAS LOW ENERGY. I GOT SO MANY JOBS, I WORKED SO HARD, I WAS JUST -- MY DIGESTION WAS OFF, I WENT TO A HOLISTIC DOCTOR, I HAD GUT ISSUES WITH MY GUT. I WAS BRAIN FOG, I WAS LIVING ON FIVE HOUR ENERGY SHOTS. I DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF ENERGY. AND I JUST SAID, MAN, I GOT TO DO SOMETHING. I STARTED TAKING GREEN DRINKS AND IT WAS GREAT. I JUST COULDN'T KEEP IT UP. I JUST COULDN'T GAG DOWN ANOTHER GLASS. >> YOU WENT THROUGH THAT PHASE TOO. >> IT IS KALE. KALE IS -- KALE, YOU CAN MIX IT WITH BROCCOLI, TRICK ME, PUT A LITTLE APPLE IN THERE IF YOU WANT TO, BUT WE KNOW WHAT IT IS. BUT THAT DAMN KALE IS GOING TO WIN EVERY TIME. AND SO I FOUND A COMPANY THAT HAD THIS BONE BROTH AND I WENT TO THEM AND SAID, HEY, LISTEN, I MET THIS FORMULATOR FROM HARVARD, REALLY TOP LEVEL, I SAID THIS IS WHAT I WANT. SOMETHING TO FIX MY GUT HEALTH, GIVE ME ENERGY AND GET RID OF BRAIN FOG. HE SAID I'VE BEEN WORKING ON SOMETHING. LET ME SHOW YOU. IT WASN'T RIGHT. IT TOOK A YEAR AND A HALF OF US DRINKING BACK AND FORTH AND ONE THING I SAID, IT HAS GOT TO FIX THESE THREE THINGS IN ME AND TASTE GOOD. AND HE CAME UP WITH THIS PRODUCT AND SAID WE SAID WE GOT TO GET A NAME FOR IT. I CAME UP WITH ELEVATE YOU. BECAUSE I WANT EVERYBODY TO BE ELEVATED. >> YEAH. >> IT IS ELEVATE YOU AND IT IS A GREEN DRINK, BUT COMES IN DIFFERENT FLAVORS. IT TASTES REALLY -- >> WHAT FLAVORS? >> ORIGINAL, IT IS CHOCOLATE, AND TART CHERRY. >> SOUNDS GOOD. >> AND IT IS REALLY GOING REALLY, REALLY WELL. AND IT HELPS SO MANY PEOPLE, SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ON IT. BUT IF YOU TAKE IT OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, YOU'LL NOTICE. >> A DIFFERENCE. >> OH, IT IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE. >> I FEEL A FAD COMING ON WITH HODA. >> WE LOVE NEW THINGS. >> SHE'LL TRY IT. >> I TALKED TO HODA ABOUT THIS. >> YES, HE HAS. >> HIT PODCAST "MAKING >>> WE'RE BACK WITH STEVE HARVEY, WHO IS ABOUT TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT IN A ROUND OF "ALL RISE FOR STEVE HARVEY". >> WE HAVE YOUR GAVEL, STEVE. WE'RE GOING TO THROW YOU SOME SCENARIOS YOU TELL US WHERE
