00:00like in fourth grade or third grade I had size 13 shoes like in men's and so everybody always
00:06called me like clown feet and all that type of stuff. When I was born I was almost 13 pounds
00:19like even doctors came in to look at me apparently. My dad he was 6'9 my mom is 6
00:27'1
00:27I have a sister who is six foot as well so everybody's just really tall I just need everybody
00:34though. When I first started playing sports when I was little was playing baseball or t-ball at the
00:39time and I remember people getting mad at me because I was hitting home runs and my parents
00:45were literally having to give out like my birth certificate to people showing them that I was a
00:50certain age. I mean I got made fun of a lot just because I was so much bigger than everybody
00:55like
00:56I always used to be called Dumbo because like my name is Bo but also I had big ears at
01:00the time.
01:01I was always a little bit taller than everybody but um I really shot up in probably
01:08junior year of high school. I went from like I would say 5'11 to like 6'4. Yeah within
01:15those few
01:15years I went from 6'4 to 6'9 and then in college I went from 6'9 to 7
01:20'1. 2019 or 2020 I made a video
01:24like ducking under doorways and like interacting with people and I had like 2 million followers
01:31overnight. Even if I just want to go to the store and just like oh I'm just gonna get some
01:35milk really
01:36fast it's just like I have to talk to probably 10 people about my height. Originally the camera
01:43started as like a tool to deal with social anxiety sort of just accepting that I'm this tall and like
01:48accepting that even though it's like an awkward thing or whatever like oftentimes it's making
01:55somebody's day like whenever I'm talking to them because it's the first time they've ever seen
01:58a 7'1 person. So I'm 7'1 my wife is 6'1 and a lot of you've been asking
02:03how big is our one-year-old girl
02:05now? I've realized that it's actually a crazy networking tool like just walking up to people
02:13it's just immediately everybody's usually happy and I can use that sort of like to my advantage to
02:19like make new friends or do something like business-wise. So I've used it as a tool traveling
02:26not so much but everything else it's it's been a good advantage what you look like or anything or
02:32how you may feel a lot of times it's just like you can turn that into a blessing.
