  Speaker 3: be at home chilling out.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I am. I just want to.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Tell y'all how glad I am that things are moving along.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: As you can see, I am celebrating the month of March,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: the luck of the Irish already early. I am part Irish,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: so I am celebrating Saint Patrick's Day. I cannot wait
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: to get some luck going on in my life too,
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: getting ready to go, get my dinner ready, my corn
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: beef and cabbage and read potatoes and corn bread, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: I cannot wait for all that to be going on.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: So you know, Spring's coming in. I hope everybody's feeling good.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I am.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: I am. I'm ready to new beginning, ready for new beginnings.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: It's a lot of things I'm looking forward to and
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: trying to engage in. So again, y'all stick with me.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: This is this year is just flying by. Noticing that
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: we can go from happy New Year to marry Christmas
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: after a couple of naps. So try to embrace the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: time you have. Like I said, loved on your loved ones.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: February just kind of flew by me. But I really
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: wanted to kind of touch on some things that you
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: know happened for our short Black History Month if you've
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: been following me, I was able to really touch on things.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: A lot of things happened with me in February.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: I had to.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Lay to rest my dad. But that all those things
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: and emotions and things have settled. So God is still
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: working and working with me and working through me and
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: in me. So I'm glad about that. But you know,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: one thing I wanted to touch on is how fast
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: one the years do go by, the time does fly by,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: But two, how fast Black History Month flies by. We
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: do only have a short amount of time, the shortest
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: amount of days, and we know that. But what I
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: had decided, and I know a lot of people had
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: decided that Black History Month is not a limitation. It
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be a limitation. So we want to kind of
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: touch on some points every month or every day if
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: we can. Part of the culture is diminishing because we
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: are not talking to our children and keeping up stories
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: and keeping up cultures and keeping up things that we've
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: learned and traditions we've learned that good traditions that we're
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: supposed to pass down. So I just want to make
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: sure that we are able to kind of reconnect on
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. I've been able to catch up on
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: some things. Like I said, I didn't get able to
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: do it during the month of February, but this is
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: the month of March, and I'm gonna recap on it,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: and I'm happy to do that.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: This is.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Something I want to call giving you a little bit.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Of BP, which is Black Entertainment Podcasting. Okay, So there's
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: some things going on in our news and our culture,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: and I think that we should support and we should
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: get acclimated with doing so, Like I said, more often, So.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Let's get down to business.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: I know there's a lot of things going on in
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: the news a lot of us don't like to watch news,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: but all news.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Is not bad news.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Again, let's bring some bad to business. Just like they
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: say there's some method to the madness, there's some business
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: in the BS. So don't let them confuse you and
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: distract you with a whole lot of BS. Kind of
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: listen to what's going on and grasp what you can.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: So some things I wanted to talk about. Is one
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: thing that hit the news that was interesting to me
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: is there is a young man looking to acquire Spirit Airlines.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: His name is Hashim Walters. I hope I'm saying his
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: name right. He has launched a kind of business that will,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: if you will, create more businesses. And let me read
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: an article to you, if you will hold on just
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: a moment, I want y'all to really think about this.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: This is a twenty nine year old.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Twenty nine year old just formed a ownership group to
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: buy and turn Spirit Airlines into a into the first
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: only black airline, only black owned airline in the US.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: And I was reading about that, and I thought that
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: was very interesting because I didn't know that there were
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: no black owned airlines. Again, during Black History Month, we
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: are taught some things, but not all things, and there's
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: a lot of things that our culture has created and
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: done first that we don't get credit for. But in
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: this I learned that it says in an unpreceded unpreceded
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: to excuse me, moved to reshape America's economic land shape.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: This twenty nine year old entrepreneur has Sham Walters has
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: officially launched the Vladimir Group and ownership cons Since excuse Me,
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Sensatura focused on acquiring Spirit Airlines and economic brand facing
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: critical financial distress. The mission of this Vladimir Group is
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: to empower black economic leaders, creating the only black owned
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: commercial airline in the United States. Now that is in
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: the United States. I do know that there's some airlines
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: in other countries as Africa and stuff like that, so
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: that's still pretty good, and I wanted to touch on
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: that because that is something that we should support.
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: He has not been approved for it yet.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: I do remember that Spirit Airlines in Frontier Airlines were
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: going to try to do some business and something didn't happen.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: But for this to open up for this young man,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I think that that's a great opportunity.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: So he does.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: Offer contact and I would like for us to support him,
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: reach out to him, and you know, let's do whatever
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: we can to support that type of culture and upbringing.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: One thing I wanted to point out is that right
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: now travel is really bad. It's getting harder. One of
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: the favorite airlines that I like to travel on are
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: starting to do things a little bit different. And so
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: with him coming out with this, I'd like to not
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: only support him, but let him know what it is
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: I'm supporting. Just like when you're picking a government official,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: you kind of want to let them know what it
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: is that you are voting for.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: So he does have a contact, I want to give
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: that to you.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: It is has Shim Walters h A S h I M.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Walters at w A l t e r s at
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: the Latimir l A t I M e r dot group.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I encourage us to, like I said, reach out to him,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: offer some suggestions, support him. See what it is we
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: can do to actually get him through to getting this,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: not just acquiring it, not just them thinking about it
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: and sitting on it, but what can we do for
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: him to actually get that.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: So offer him suggestions. Like I said, a lot of
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: us have traveled and we know that what it is.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: We want to do and want to deal with, not
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: want to deal with.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: So let's support that young man at twenty nine years
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: old owning the first black airlines.
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: I think that's pretty cool.
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: And with the suggestions that you're offering, let's be realistic
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: about some stuff. Let's not turn this into, you know,
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: the next soul plane, so to speak. But let's make
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: this airline something that is memorable, something that we can
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: support and actually invest in some of us. So that
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: would be great.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: That's cool.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: So Hasham Walters, I wish you the best of luck
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: and I hope we can all do something for you
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: with that. Okay, moving on, I want to talk about
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: this young man who has just become the CEO of
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: Red Lobster. There, Red Lobster is now trying to revamp themselves.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: A lot of us love Red Lobster still. I know
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: they've fallen off the map with all these new seafood places,
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: but Red Lobster is still a household name.
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Let's not forget them.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: They have some of the best deals and as long
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: as they don't stop there in the shrimp and Lobster fest.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: We gonna love them. So.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: But this young man, his name is a Domola Adam
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Adam Mullikan. I hope I'm not saying that incorrectly. If
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: I am, somebody tap in, call in, let me know.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: But I'm very proud of this. This is the new
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: acquired CEO of Red Lobster. He used to be the
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: He is the former CEO, the first black former CEO
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: of PF Chains, and I read a little bit about
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: this young man. He is in his thirties and he
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: what he did for PF Chains is was remarkable. He
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: was able to bring them through the pandemic, which we
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: know was very hard for restaurants. But PF Chains, which
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: shout out to PF Chains, I was able to dabble
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: in some of their or dervs and some of they're sangree.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: That's some of the best aangry I ever had because
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: it didn't leave your mouth all better. So again shout
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: out to PF Chains and Morgan for that meal when
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: I went out to California. So, but he was able
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: to bring them out of that and not have them
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: suffer through the pandemic and lose out. PF Chains is
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: a very good restaurant, so for him to go from that,
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: he's now gotten accreditation and with his firm, who has
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: now acquired Red Lobster, so he's going to be doing
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: some different things, and Red Lobster is still going to
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: keep his name and do some of the things. But
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: I still think it's important for us to support him.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Still reach out again, everything that we're doing for each other,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: for the culture, for any culture, for any cause, you
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: want to reach out and tell them what it is
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: that you're supporting, tell him what it is that you
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: need out of these things. So I really want to,
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: you know, give homage to him for that. I'm going
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: to read an article about him as well, because it
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: was very interesting that he excuse me, fine him.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: There we go.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: One of the things that he said that let me
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: know that he's very business minded, and I quote, I
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: always found business interesting even when I was young.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: It captivated me intellectually.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: I started working when I was in high school and
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: invested in everything I made. I opened up my first
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: stock portfolio when I was sixteen. And what amazed me
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: end quote. What amazed me about that is that that's
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: what you call good business man. They're not talking about
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: people who, you know, how they inherited a business or
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: inherited some money and tried to build off of that
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: or inherited some ideas. This young man went at it
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: when he was very young and apparently has proven himself
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: very well, so again I want to support him. His
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: name is Domola Adam adam Ullakan Adam Ullikan. Like like
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I said, if I'm saying it wrong and somebody knows better,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: let me know. But that's awesome. Pf Chains. I don't
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: call it your loss because you were again and was
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: able to move this young man on. So Red Lobster,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I look forward to the new things that you're doing.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: Don't get rid of those lobster fests, shrimp fest and
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: you know those butter baby biscuits were good. Moving on,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: Another person I wanted to talk about in black culture
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: is a young lady called Dorothy Jeane Tillman. I just
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: heard about this young lady recently, but she's been working
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: her butt off.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Worthy.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Jene Tillman earned her doctorate at seventeen years old last year.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: She started very young, I believe it said she decided
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: she wanted to go on a higher learning at about
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: ten years old and learned and earned her associate's degree
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: at ten years old. When after her bachelor's earned that
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: in at twelve years old. I'm sorry and just kept going.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: I actually have an article about her as well.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Excuse me again.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: This is really just about supporting the culture and making
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: sure that we don't forget to tell our kids that
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: things like this are possible, owning a black the first
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Black airline, being a CEO of a company, or a
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: restaurant that is is a household name. Earning your doctorate
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: at seventeen years old, she said something that was very interesting.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Excuse me, I really have to find this.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: There we go.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: She said, my experience was inclusive and supportive of my accessors.
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Access to my instructors was always at the top, at
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: the tip of my fingers. The standard of learning was
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: innovative and provided context for making a global impact on humanity.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: I really liked the.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Fact that she said access to her accessors and the
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: people that she needed was at her fingertips. I don't
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: think that that's what's going to our schools today and
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: for our young people. I was able to meet with
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: a counselor at my daughter's school one day and he
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: said something that was interesting, and he said, you know,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: at this point, it's kind of like we're hiring anybody
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: with a breath, so to speak. I don't want to
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: quote him, but anybody who's breathing. And that kind of
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: scares me because if you don't have the right people
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: at my daughter's fingertips for her to be successful, then
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: I can't count on her being successful where she is.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: I remember my Auntie shared something with me. She's a
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: substitute teacher, and she said that one thing that she
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: could kind of tell is that teachers concentrate more on
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: students that had their parents more involved. She said, it's
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: not really a prejudice or anything against any of the
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: other kids, but a parent who can call regularly and
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: check up regularly kind of keeps the teacher focused on
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: that child too. Again, that teacher being at that child's
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: fingertips is being accessible is very important.
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: So make sure you're following up on what's going on.
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: If this young lady at seventeen still had access to everything,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: our children we do have access to the libraries, the teachers,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: the schools, ptas. Get yourself involved with what's going on
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: in your kids' lives and what's going on, and they
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: can do things like that too. I'm very proud of
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: that young lady. But again, we can do it in
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: our smaller communities too. Let's celebrate people like her again.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Her name is Dorothy Jene Tillman. Remember her name too.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Let's continue to tell our children and our community about
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: things that aren't being made mainstream, all these distractions and
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: stuff from what's going on during our Black History Month.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: This is our history.
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: And while they're erasing some histories that they don't want
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: us to remember, we got to keep some things live.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: So I hope y'all get into that.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Moving on, something I found interesting in the news and
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: quite scary is they say that they found some lead
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: in some braiding hair. I'm sure some of y'all have
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: heard about this. I'm very bothered by this. We have
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: found solutions to wearing our natural hair. Braids are one
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: of them, and I kind of looked into this. They
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: cannot be specific in what brand of hair has it,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: but I want you to be aware of this. My
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: daughters themselves wear natural hair. I've never had a chemical
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: in their head. I got a going on sixteen year
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: old and going on thirteen year old, and I've never
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: put a chemical in their hair. And they don't have
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: the most manageable hair, but we make it at work,
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: and I just feel better about that. So being able
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: to braid their hair and put different styles and stuff
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: like that that they like and do different things worked
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: for us.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: So now to find out that.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: They're finding a chemical in their hair or in the
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: braiding hair and they can't detect exactly which ones is
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: kind of bothersome. And I just want you guys to
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: be aware. And while they can't tell us which ones,
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: there are certain things that we can do. I don't
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: want you guys to just don't. Don't turn the blind
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: eye to this, and like, it's not anything. We are
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: putting lead based things in our head. We're not supposed
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: to breathe them. But yet if we're putting it in
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: our head, we're sleeping with them, we're breathing them where,
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: you know, hugging people, it's in our clothes. This is
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: not something to be taken lightly. I did find out
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: that you can buy lead kids, you know, to try
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: to test it. You can buy them at home, deepot
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that. They're little bottles, little swab and
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: stuff like that, same way you swap your nose to
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: test for diseases.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: That I won't talk about so we don't get in trouble.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: The same way you swab for diseases or viruses, it's
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: the same way you would swab some hair. I don't
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: know again if it's that important to you, but if
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: you keep a little bottle in the hair that you buy,
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: you can swab a little bit and see if it
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: turns the color that it's not supposed to turn, and
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: that bottle should last you a long time. So, just
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: like I said, something that I wanted to make everybody
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: aware of because we don't want to be killing ourselves
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: softly or intentionally. I don't know who's putting lead in
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: this hair, but it seems like they'll find one way
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: or another to do what they want to do. So again,
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: just wanted to make y'all aware. And that's kind of
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: what I wanted to wrap up as far as who
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: we were celebrating this Black History part. I don't even
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: want to call it a month because I I believe
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: that on my next show, like I said, keep following me,
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna come up with something else. There's a lot
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: of things going on in the news. I'm not gonna
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: talk about politics today. It's so much going on, and
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: a lot of news that I'm gathering. I'm letting some
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: people cook see what's going on, and we'll serve what's
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: at the dinner table or the business table. I'll say
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: on the next show, But before I go, it's something
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: that I wanted to share with you all if you've
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: been tuning in. My first show, like I said, it
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: was called Show Me Love. It was a show that
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I did right after my dad's passing, and it was
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: a little hard for me to kind of stay focused.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: But with God, anything as possible, and he, you know,
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: I was sharing with I'm sorry my first show, I
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: got through that. My second show, I was coming back
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: from my dad's homecoming and sharing and sharing with you
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: all how my experience was and things that were going good.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: And one thing I was sharing was how I asked God,
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: what is to happen?
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I've been seeking him. I've been praying, prayer and seeking
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: Him have become a big part of my life. I
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: not not that I hadn't done it before, but now
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: it's so natural and necessary that it is. Really it
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: just feels great. So but when I was asking him before,
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: I asked him God, what am I doing now?
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: You know, there's a lot of things going on.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: I didn't expect on my dad passing in the midst
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: of podcasting and things going on in my job with
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: my kids.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: You know, what is it that you would have me do? Now?
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: And what he told me was again, if y'all been following,
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: go show up and again, and I'm questioning, go where?
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: Show up for who? He said?
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: What he said, go and show up. So what I
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: did was I tried to expand my mind. Where can
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: I go and show up for anybody?
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: So I did that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: I don't post everything I do, but there's been opportunities
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: I've been given and I will be posting some things.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: It's been a great other side of the fence. But
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: so I've been going and showing up everywhere I can,
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: from my friends, from my family, for opportunities doors that
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: have opened. And so recently here I've been praying, still
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: seeking God, wanting to know what it is he would
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: have me do.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: And recently I asked again.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: I felt like it was necessary to revisit the conversation,
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: and I said, God, I've been going and I've been
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: showing up. You know, I still don't really see anything,
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: but I know it's still your plan. And I just
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: want you to know I'm still going and I'm still
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: showing up, you know, kind of waiting on that big
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: thing to happen. And you know, God knows your heart,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: he knows what you're asking or trying not to ask.
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: And the message that I heard loud and clear, just
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: like I heard go and show up, is I heard
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: God say that he needed me to be a bridge,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: not a bench. And I kind of pondered on that. Again,
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: I'm not asking God nothing. He said it very clearly,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: I need you to be a bridge, not a bench.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: And while I sat there and tried to gain my
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: own understanding on some stuff, he came back and he said,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: what it is is that I need for you to
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: when people see you and the things that you do,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: I want people to know that you can lead them
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: to something, not have them sit on something, not sit
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: on ideas, not sit on goals, not sit on aspirations,
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: not sit on innovations that you give them. I need
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: you to be a bridge, not a bench. So that's
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: what I'm working on now. I am definitely trying to
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: be the best version of me I can be. I
• 26:23
  Speaker 3: know that we're all living out God's script of his plan,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: his grand scheme for our lives, and like I told
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: the Lord, I know I want to play my part.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: I want to be. My part is shining, and I
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: want to be the best shining I can be. So
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: if you need me to be that bridge, excuse me,
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: be that bridge, not a bench, I totally get it.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: So I'm working on some things and it's not hard.
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: I am working with somebody who's known as the Queen
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: of collaboration herself, Miss Queen Angela.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: I give so much homage to you. Thank you so
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: much for taking a chance on me.
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: And you have many things going on, and the way
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: that you support everybody and do the things that you
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: do is remarkable, and I just thank you so much
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: for taking a chance on me. So I know that
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: our meeting is no coincidence as far as God and
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: his plan for my life and how he's telling me
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: what he wants me to do.
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: I look forward to doing big things with you. Thank
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: you so much. With the things that that are going on,

• 27:42

• 27:48
