This podcast explores the powerful ripple effect of Will Smith’s iconic quote: “The first step is you have to say that you can.” Through the lens of the Victories Vibes brand, this belief evolved into an empowering mantra: "Say you can, then do it." What started as a spark of inspiration became a real-world catalyst for people pushing past doubt to chase their dreams.

You’ll meet real people from all walks of life who found this message just when they needed it most—and ran with it:

• Alex discovered the quote on social media, enrolled in acting classes, started auditioning, and landed a role in an indie film.

• Jordan Matthews, from rural Georgia, launched a YouTube channel called “Say You Can” after finding Victories Vibes on Instagram. One video was reposted by the brand, went viral, and helped him earn a college scholarship.

• Adrian Carter from Detroit turned the quote into a daily mantra, returned to school for media production, and launched his own video production company.

• Andre Turner felt a deep connection watching The Pursuit of Happyness, used a Victories Vibes notebook to write goals, earned a film school scholarship, won a student film festival—and even received a message from Will Smith himself.

• Jamal Carter, inspired by Fresh Prince reruns and a Victories Vibes post, took a video editing course, launched his business Carter Motion, and worked on a docuseries tied to Will Smith.

• Jordan Thomas turned discipline into results—waking up early, writing daily, taking screenwriting courses, getting his short film into a festival, and launching a podcast titled “Say You Can.”

• Jordan Michaels from Chicago saw a Will Smith interview, made a vision board, committed to weekly videos for his YouTube channel JMike Films, went viral, and founded Frame It Forward, a nonprofit teaching kids filmmaking.

• Lisa channeled her inspiration into fashion—researching, attending online workshops, sketching, and eventually showcasing her designs on a runway.

• Two Sarahs found their spark: one became a published author and motivational speaker, the other built a career in photography and inspired others to chase their dreams too.

These aren’t just stories of personal triumph—they’re examples of people paying it forward. Many of them became mentors, creators, and community leaders, helping others believe in themselves too.

Victories Vibes fueled this movement not just through words, but through action—building a community and offering merch like T-shirts, hoodies, and notebooks as daily reminders of the mission: believe it, then do it.

At its heart, the message is simple but life-changing: Belief is the beginning, but action is what transforms it into reality. This synergy—between mindset and movement—is what unlocked real change for all these individuals.

Read their stories and let them inspire your own. Say you can… then do it.
