  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Welcome to the Voices for Voices TV show and podcast.
• 0:03
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: I'm your host.
• 0:04
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Founder of Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes.
• 0:07
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Thank you so much for joining us on this episode and helping us get to over 300 total episodes in studio and out of studio.
• 0:18
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We have the goal of reaching 300 total combined episodes in studio and out of studio by the end of 2025.
• 0:28
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: And we actually accomplished that five months early.
• 0:32
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: And I just want to relate that sometimes, when you set a goal, sometimes we achieve it right at the time that we need it the very minute, the very hour, the very day.
• 0:45
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Sometimes we're a little bit late and sometimes we're able to modify that, but sometimes we're not.
• 0:55
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: And then others like in this instance, where we really we just like, almost like turned on, like kind of the afterburners, and we made it, and it's only because of you that you're watching, you're listening, that we're helping people, and that's what makes me happy.
• 1:23
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We're helping people and that's what makes me happy.
• 1:26
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We just strive to do that as an organization and me as an individual, a human, just like you.
• 1:35
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We're not robots, we're individuals, we have feelings, we have thoughts, we have concerns.
• 1:44
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We have individuals, we have feelings, we have thoughts, we have concerns.
• 1:46
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We have health.
• 1:47
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We have physical health, mental health and that.
• 1:50
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: But what I wanted to talk about on this particular episode is, if you didn't join us on episode 300 or you haven't made it to that yet, if you, you know from the beginning and, working your way up, you know episode one all the way up, or if you're just picking and choosing.
• 2:11
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Whatever way you do, that, that is completely fine with us.
• 2:17
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: But in case word didn't get out with some of the developments and the growth that's going on and going to be going on here, we want to just cover some of that information, some of it still we can't reveal, and I'll get into that and why.
• 2:47
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So, yeah, so Voices for Voices, we are opening our own I'll say our own because it's called Voices for Voices our own publishing house, our own publishing house, and so what that means is that we will be very shortly publishing author's work under the Voices for Voices publishing moniker, and so, if you missed it on episode 300, I just wanted to share, so I got to.
• 3:34
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Can't show some of this at the bottom, but that's what.
• 3:39
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So we have, you know, kind of the logo.
• 3:42
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: It's very, very similar, right, voices for Voices, and then Publishing, and so this covers really any type of a story, whether it's a novella, which is kind of like a shorter story, whether it's softback, paperback, picture book, sticker book, sticker book, short stories, long stories, traditional, you know paperback, or you know softback, like these two that we have, or if it's digital as well, or if it's audio.
• 4:30
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: You know Audible has that.
• 4:31
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So that is something that we announced on episode 300.
• 4:38
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: And while we're able to announce that and share this information on this particular show, we're not able to share because of the element of surprise.
• 4:43
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Because of the element of surprise, we're not able to share what the names of the first couple works that we have that are basically ready to be published.
• 5:01
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So, voices for Voices Publishing, you'll be able to find that we're going to be building out a website, so everything under Voices for Voices Publishing will be there, but, starting out, you'll be able to find us under Voices for Voices Publishing on Amazon, and then we're working on getting those into audio, and so publishing is a growth area for us because we have, through past guests, future guests, just interactions we've had.
• 5:44
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: This came as an idea and so we had to think about it right, because this is, you know our, our logo, our imprints gonna be on.
• 6:00
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: You know all the book, all these books, and I, and I also want to say that the books that, uh, and the works that we do publish on the voices for voices publishing are going to be cleaner there's they're going to be very distinct, for if a book is actually for a certain age group, that it's going to meet those requirements, because we've found, and maybe you've found too, where you go to a certain section looking for books for a certain age group, you purchase it and maybe it's language, maybe it is some of the actions that are happening, content that they're not ready for in general, and so we're taking that approach of if you're going to publish under us, which I and our organization, we have the final say of who gets published, who doesn't, what stories get published, which don't, uh, so that's kind of phase.
• 7:31
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Let's say that's, that's a phase one expansion, that that we're uh going to be doing.
• 7:37
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So by the time, uh, we are airing this particular episode, you may already be, or may soon be, learning what those works are, what those first works are that we're going to have under Voices for Voices Publishing.
• 7:59
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So publishing is one area Writing, right, we talked about that.
• 8:07
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: It can be a way of sharing your voice or my voice, anybody's voice, and another way that we can share our voice, our collective voices, is through uh, we talked about movies, tv shows and you know, basically on screen types of work, and so we thought that it was important to, while publishing right, because you have to write the, you have to write the script and all these different things to get to the point where, if we're going to turn, let's say, a novel into a movie or a TV show and work with an organization that's going to help make that happen and go through with it and is on board and you have the cast right, we talked about the actors, actresses, in an older episode and so shared that that.
• 9:27
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So there's just a lot that goes into going from a written work, which is the publishing, to what we are calling Voices for Voices, production, and so that cover, this will and is covering those types of those types of things you know we're talking about.
• 9:48
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: You know whether it's a TV show, whether it's a movie, whether it's a pilot, you know the pilot comes first and then there's either buy in from the network or streaming platform, or there's not.
• 10:01
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: If there is, then, ok, how many episodes, how many seasons?
• 10:05
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: If it's a movie, how long is it, or who's in it, who's not, what are the locations and all that.
• 10:13
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So we thought it was important because, I would say, opportunities are there for us as Voices, for Voices to again be able to express and share the voices.
• 10:35
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: It's not going to most of these aren't going to be me that you're going to be hearing and watching.
• 10:41
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: It's going to be actors and actresses that you're going to be watching and and hearing, and so some of the publishing works books, novels will be converted into a potential tv show, a potential movie, potential series, uh, and so we wanted to have that covered as well, because, while the production elements like set locations, it could be based off of a long story, a short story, a novella, actors, actresses, and there's a host of information that's in here.
• 11:34
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: But what I wanted to do today is just kind of do like the recap, just so you have an idea, in case you missed episode 300, where we go into a little bit of depth like this that we're doing today on this particular episode, and it's big enough that we want to cover it twice.
• 12:00
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Essentially that we want to make sure that the information is out there and available.
• 12:10
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So we have Voices for Voices Publishing, voices for Voices Production, and let's see, I'm going to take a minute to grab a little sip or a big hump yeah, the next area came about because of a current situation that's happening with at least one artist, somebody who sings and dances and performs, and we, through a guest that we've had on multiple times, we know he watches and or listens to our Voices for Voices shows.
• 13:11
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We did an episode on his recent album drop Swag.
• 13:21
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Somebody who has, and we're pretty sure we think that he not only has been human trafficked but is currently and who is, I say, by all intents and purposes, kind of in hiding, and so that's Justin Bieber and he.
• 13:55
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: It's really just incredible, not only that he's watching and listening, but it's a legit connection.
• 14:03
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: It's not, you know, sometimes people try to drop names and, oh, I know so-and-so or I'm going to have them on a show or do different things, but having actually experienced communications with him and him really kind of directing the episode that we did I don't know if it's in the two, so we have over 300 episodes.
• 14:33
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: I don't remember if it was in the 280s or the 290s.
• 14:37
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We did an episode when his album dropped.
• 14:40
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: And so what's the significance to that?
• 14:44
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Well, traditionally, an artist would sign a deal with a record label.
• 14:53
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: The record label would market, would help them find songs, either ones that they've written or ones that somebody else has written, ones that somebody else has written and then they record the songs and then they put them on an album and then they launch it, they sell it, they go on tour and then they rinse and repeat those particular actions.
• 15:29
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So, justin, he's in hiding, he has been trafficked.
• 15:32
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: This isn't anything that is new.
• 15:36
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We covered it in that episode on the album Drop of Swag, and he's fearful, like a lot of people are, with their lives because, say, evidence but information's not whether he has, I don't know how many millions of followers or not.
• 16:05
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: He's still a human being and his livelihood is music.
• 16:26
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Is that Swag was the first album of his that circumvented the record label, which basically means that he dropped the album and the money goes directly to his bank account, justin's bank account, bank account, justin's bank account.
• 16:49
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: What's happened since that drop of swag is there are people who are interfering.
• 16:56
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: What do I mean by that?
• 17:01
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: What do I mean by interfering?
• 17:03
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: And well, okay.
• 17:05
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So person has a bank account, person does work, person gets paid for the work.
• 17:11
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Money gets paid to the person.
• 17:14
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: A person is able to pay the bills and do what they want with that money.
• 17:22
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Who are, to this very day, intervening and I don't know how, we don't know how, but it's happening that they are Circumventing or not circumventing, it's not the right word, but these individuals are Somehow gaining access To His bank accounts.
• 17:51
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: And so Justin has a second album that was supposed to drop a week and a half ago and it's going to.
• 18:03
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: But because he doesn't trust the record label because of what he's gone through, trafficking-wise, what he has and what he is going through, it's not Obviously, we know.
• 18:19
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Some things in the media are true.
• 18:20
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Some of them may be a little bit less true.
• 18:23
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: What's really going on is he has work that he wants to put out.
• 18:28
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: What's really going on is he has work that he wants to put out, but he can't because he's afraid, like I would be afraid that I put work out.
• 18:38
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: People are interested, they purchase it and the money is supposed to come to an account of mine.
• 18:46
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: But in this case, justin's the other Justin and there's individuals.
• 18:55
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Again, they're toying around and so what his bank account?
• 18:59
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So what Justin instinctively is doing is opening, trying to go through banks and open accounts and not let people that are trying to interfere now trying to have an account where he actually has the access, where nobody else can do that.
• 19:29
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So that's really one of the dangerous parts of human trafficking is, if somebody escapes and gets away from human trafficking or if they're still in it, it doesn't stop the emotional toll.
• 19:47
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: And so there's an emotional toll that's wearing on Justin, it's wearing on anybody that's been around, somebody who has unfortunately experienced and is experiencing this.
• 20:01
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So Justin is trying to drop his second album.
• 20:06
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: He wants to drop it.
• 20:07
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: He should have dropped it a couple weeks ago, as I mentioned, and we're in full support of Justin poor of Justin, any, any survivor uh, that's legit, legitimate.
• 20:25
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Who's been through awful things, uh, we, we want again, we want to be that voice for them that they can share their voice in some way through Voices for Voices, voices for voices.
• 20:38
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: And so that is the long lead into what we're also going to be doing.
• 20:50
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: This is more of a preparatory.
• 20:53
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We don't have something locked and loaded like we do with production and publishing, as far as we have projects that are done very close to being done in process.
• 21:10
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Right Production.
• 21:11
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: You have to again, you have to find the actors.
• 21:14
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: The actor says you've got to have the script, it's got to be approved, there's got to be travel, there's got to be travel, there's catering, there's all these special effects, all these things that I'm just learning myself.
• 21:27
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: But getting back to music, primarily because we have the other part also covered in a different area, and so we're also.
• 21:43
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: I started Voices for Voices Records and the hope here is, and then the thoughts are that if somebody finds themselves in the position like Justin Bieber is in now, not just being concerned about his personal safety and the safety of his son I'm not going to comment on Haley or any of that.
• 22:18
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Haley or any of that, while I may or may not have some information about that, that's not something that we're going to comment publicly on.
• 22:33
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: But, yeah, so Voices for Voices Records is now there or here or wherever, to support individuals who, if they've gone through something, if they've had a hard time with a record label, if they haven't found a record label, we're going to.
• 22:56
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Whether it's somebody who's just starting their career, we're going to help launch that, launch their music, do as much as we can to help support so the individuals who are actually doing the work, like in the case we mentioned, justin, they get compensated and they shouldn't have to worry if somebody's going into their bank account and getting access and impersonating him or me or anybody.
• 23:35
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: But that's occurring, that's real life.
• 23:42
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: That's not something that's happening somewhere far, far away from where we are.
• 23:46
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So, wherever you you live, whether wherever I live, these things, unfortunately to different degrees, different timings, go on, and we want to be again.
• 24:03
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Singing is a way to share your voice.
• 24:06
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Playing an instrument is also a way to share your voice, and so that's where Voices for Voices Records is, and then we also have I'm going to try to do these kind of quick because time is really getting out so, with all that, we also have launched Voices for Voices Entertainment, and this includes and will include, you know, any memorabilia, any uh, you know whether it's uh, whether it's legos, whether action figures, the characters that are in and or in production of content, and so those action figures, legos, whatever those may be, will be able to be covered as an organization to be able to support when those moments come.
• 25:19
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So that's Voices for Voices Entertainment and last but not least, we have Voices for Voices, parks and real estate.
• 25:39
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So, again, these are big things that are happening.
• 25:43
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: And so what's Voices for Voices, parks and real estate?
• 25:46
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Look like One of our past guests, Sandy.
• 25:50
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: One of the things she wants to do, that she has a big goal.
• 25:57
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: One of the things she wants to do, that she has a big goal she'd like to someday open an amusement park that's on point, with the characters, the stories, the plots that are included in these cleaner stories that she'd be able to pick and say, oh, we want to ride based off of this character or this movie or this book.
• 26:29
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We want a character and so we want to be ready if and when that does happen.
• 26:37
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We want to be ready if and when that does happen.
• 26:43
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Secondly, we've talked from the beginning voices for voices.
• 26:47
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Another one of our big goals is to either build or move into an existing building where we can offer free, no questions asked, no insurance required, mental health care for everybody, anybody that shows up.
• 27:11
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We want to be the mental health equivalent to St Jude's, as St Jude's works to cure childhood cancer and treat and help.
• 27:32
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: And the families might not live in that area so they'd have to travel Planes, trains, automobiles, buses they have to have somewhere to stay because a lot of times, treatments might take days or weeks or longer, and so, like St Jude's does, we want to do the same thing.
• 28:01
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So, regardless of where the facility, we won't have multiple facilities, but, starting with one, we have a facility where, if somebody is from out of state that they don't again, not only don't they have to worry about the cost of the mental health care and those related services, they don't have to worry about paying for their travel, for their room and board or their food.
• 28:32
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: People to again to feel valued the way that all of us as human beings are.
• 28:47
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So we have a lot of announcements, a lot of stuff's going on.
• 28:49
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: You're going to be hearing the actual names of some of these projects very soon.
• 28:52
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: So thank you for being with us.
• 28:55
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: Please like, subscribe, share all that.
• 28:59
  Voices for VoicesⓇ Founder, Justin Alan Hayes: We'll see you next time.
