“The time that I put in there was alot. Six, seven hour days, I still do it to this day. You have to be disciplined cutting your phone off. Distractions have to be at bay. But honestly accessing what you have to do, where you want to be, understand the goal and by any means necessary getting there,” says Lowery.
