- 0:52
to the season row y'all have begged with me and the new improved Well,
- 1:02
I won't say what else trying to say the new edition to the community community.
- 1:08
She ain't that new anymore. I ain't because at this point, I'm
- 1:11
family. I'm family. I hope y'all see it. I'm we family,
- 1:17
family, family. Rade. Hey, how had a portion of this season
- 1:22
that you've been a part of? Yi? Yi, yive some nuggets like
- 1:26
how has it been? Um, it's been so me sitting on this side.
- 1:34
I mean, Jessica made me put this microphone on it. It's fine,
- 1:37
it's fine. Um, it's just really been confirming to because honestly,
- 1:41
podcasting or podcast production wasn't on my radar. Like I was focusing on photography.
- 1:48
I was like, oh, I love the picture taking kind of thing,
- 1:51
right, Um. And so when he dropped he's been dropping a lot
- 1:55
of new things and my spirit here lately, um, which I know it's
- 2:00
him because it's some stuff has never really been a desire of mine, and
- 2:05
some things I don't even feel qualified to do, right, But when he
- 2:10
dropped it in my spirit, I was like, oh, Okay. I
- 2:13
had one friend and I had been kind of recording. It wasn't even nothing
- 2:19
like super fancy. It was just turned the cameraon and she was just talking.
- 2:22
Right. So I had been kind of doing it a little bit,
- 2:23
you know what I'm saying, But it wasn't like, Oh, I'm gonna
- 2:27
go out here and be producing podcasts. I hear in these streets, right.
- 2:30
Yeah. So as I'm sitting here, even through like the first second,
- 2:35
third ones that we've done, just sitting here and I'm just listening to
- 2:40
the nuggets, I'm listening to the testimonies, the stories, and I'm like,
- 2:46
wow, people get to hear this, Like somebody is waiting has been
- 2:51
looking for confirmation or somebody has been looking for a solution, or somebody has
- 2:55
just been looking for something, just so that they know that they aren't on
- 3:00
this journey by themselves and until we step into a place where we're okay with
- 3:06
um Um who he's called us to being what he's given us to share,
- 3:10
like the people that as for not going to find us. So I just
- 3:15
think I'm just very grateful that I'm in a space to really be able to
- 3:19
witness, you know, what he's doing in this season, but also witness
- 3:27
his messages and his voices for the Kenny, because I do believe that he
- 3:30
is he is, he is raising up his people to really step into what
- 3:35
they're what he's calling them to do in these different mountains of influence. You
- 3:38
know what I'm saying, Kingdom Like he's really raising He's really like the Kingdom
- 3:44
really needs to take over media, the Kingdom really needs to take over arts
- 3:49
and entertainment because there's so much darkness that's influencing the world right now, that's
- 3:53
influencing the young kids right now, you know what I'm saying. So if
- 3:57
we don't step up, that's so good. If we don't, you know,
- 4:01
UM take the charge then we can't be mad it what happens. Listen,
- 4:06
you're talking real good, good, you know. And so for me,
- 4:12
I'm just I'm just grateful to be in the space to um it's it's
- 4:16
uncomfortable, uncomfortable on the only uncomfortable part is what I'm doing right now.
- 4:21
It's being heard. It's being heard. Oh okay, yeah, y'all,
- 4:26
y'all leave coming for desert. Right. For one, she got a lot
- 4:30
of a lot of oils in her, a lot of just wisdom, Like
- 4:38
we was just seeing talking a few minutes ago about how she manages her finances
- 4:43
for the business. And I'm like, it's all this stuff is going on
- 4:46
going over my head, Like you got a graces and you got a story.
- 4:51
So as long as we purpose partner want to be pushed too, We're
- 4:56
pushing each other. We pushing. We are definitely pushing each other because just
- 5:00
as much as I push you, I think you definitely pushed absolutely. I
- 5:02
told you, I know this season even though I came in in the middle
- 5:06
of the season, this season was for me to start because I get caught
- 5:11
up sometimes because I'm a big picture visionary person. Right, So he shows
- 5:15
me things I'm like, oh, and I really try to make it happen.
- 5:17
But also and I get stuck when I don't necessarily have the resources to
- 5:21
get the things that I need or that I really know that it can bring
- 5:27
it to a different level. So for me, it was starting with what
- 5:30
I had and being okay with starting where I have, knowing that as like
- 5:33
we said in the last episode that as we continue to journey along, all
- 5:36
the pieces already in place. You know what I'm saying. But it's a
- 5:40
matter of starting. For you, it was about finishing. Listen, you
- 5:46
just said, you just said, I'm a fool because in the last episode
- 5:51
we revealed that, you know, the impossible syndrome in me when I try
- 5:57
to validate it, I just don't finish something. I don't complete it.
- 6:00
And so that proves for me, wow, that that's good. So simultaneously,
- 6:06
by throughout obedience that is on the same thing, we're we're learning or
- 6:13
fulfilling something that God is dealing with with us personally. Right, Because what
- 6:20
I noticed and I love about you is once you start something, oh you
- 6:24
there, You're there, You're like, okay, let's go, let's go.
- 6:29
I'm not gonna start and not finished my thing is, Oh my gosh,
- 6:31
I have this great idea of the dog and I get it, and
- 6:33
I'm like, kind of, really can I can I really do this?
- 6:40
Are you really asking me? But just the funny thing though, just I
- 6:44
will start and in my mind sometimes some some some pieces may go lacking just
- 6:51
because I don't need to finish, right. But Jessica is operates in a
- 6:57
high level of excellence. Right. So what that's gonna do for me is
- 7:01
just make me slow down a little bit more to pay more attention to the
- 7:04
details of a thing, to finish, but to finish on a higher level.
- 7:09
Let's let's expound on your coverage. What you mean? What show what
- 7:14
you're talking about, y'all? Did y'all get hurt her to what she said?
- 7:17
Yo? Justica just operates it up at a high level of EXQUI,
- 7:27
y'all, I really feel like that was always like my team saying like I
- 7:31
got one of my team in the still or our customers, listen, my
- 7:34
bottom lady, don't play like this. Was like, nah, because she
- 7:40
gonna she gonna come at me, and so because she's gonna come at me,
- 7:43
I gotta come here too, don't. I'm like I you know,
- 7:47
and sometimes I feel like I need to apologize for it, but then when
- 7:51
the results come, they'd be like, nah, I'm not gonna apologize.
- 7:58
You can't apologize for I mean, I think you know, there's always sometimes
- 8:03
a way to deliver a thing. Yeah, but you can't apologize for being
- 8:07
who you are and how he's given giving it to you, that's right,
- 8:11
and how he's given it to you. I was listening to a teaching or
- 8:16
something, maybe it was like a call or something. It was on ver
- 8:18
like social media, YouTube or something, and this guy was like he was
- 8:22
from Jamaica, and he was like, since he's been here in the United
- 8:26
States, the question was I think he was asked he was trying to see
- 8:28
how can he be I'm gonna say softer, so like he felt like his
- 8:33
the way he is, his approach to things is a little bransh because he
- 8:37
said, in Jamaica, you know his culture, you know, they deal
- 8:41
with some hard kind of things. We could say I came over here to
- 8:43
America and everybody's just like somebody get a little headache and it's like they about
- 8:46
to die or something like that. You know what I'm saying. And I'm
- 8:48
just like, I don't understand that. And so he was like, how
- 8:50
can I you know, you know, soften my approach x y Z.
- 8:54
So the young lady he was talking to says, so, who told you
- 8:58
you need to soften your approach? That somebody tell you that? Or did
- 9:01
the Lord say that? And he was just like no, but I'm just
- 9:03
trying to figure out how, you know, I can you know, come
- 9:05
off a little you know, change my approach. And she was like,
- 9:09
well, who told you this? And he was like, well, it
- 9:11
was a couple of people that the church that may have said, you know,
- 9:15
maybe I should have said something a little bit differently. And she said,
- 9:16
yeah, I wasn't getting that the Lord was telling you to change because
- 9:22
he created you the way he created you for a reason. There's a group
- 9:24
of people that are going to have to be talked to in a certain type
- 9:28
of way, and he's giving you the personality and the skills and the and
- 9:31
the wisdom to do so. So right now you're just talking to the wrong
- 9:35
people. You're just talking to the wrong people. You don't have to change.
- 9:39
You don't have to, we don't have you don't have to change anything
- 9:41
about like, of course we deal with some things, you know, some
- 9:43
hurt, some trauma and things like that. But the core of who you
- 9:46
are, that's that's what he's giving you to be, for what he's giving
- 9:48
you to do. That's good, that's good. You sure you don't want
- 9:54
to come on? I'm consitific, yo, I got on one episode.
- 10:05
Okay, we have to do. You have to be on camera at least
- 10:07
one episode, perceive that's okay, mandate, Okay, I can do that.
- 10:13
I on mandate? Okay. Was that aggressive? M Okay? I
- 10:18
know because I can agree with that. Okay. So what we're talking about,
- 10:24
I mean, you one came up with this. Oh well, okay.
- 10:31
So for this um finale of the episode is going to ask Jess.
- 10:37
Instead of just ask ask Jess, We're gonna ask Jess. So we got
- 10:46
a couple of questions, um that we're just gonna throw out and just allowed
- 10:50
just to you know, just share a hard or whatever the answer to y'all
- 10:54
to ask me some crazy questions. I'm I'm gonna ask questions about my community.
- 11:00
Like I'm just I'm just gonna be floored on my community. They they
- 11:03
don't think, they don't ain't bad, They're not bad. Ye. Now
- 11:07
there's a raided one who went through these questions. I don't do I know,
- 11:11
do I know the questions? No, No, we're gonna we're gonna
- 11:16
see how this is gonna go. It's gonna be on. We're gonna we're
- 11:18
gonna see how this is gonna go. So, you know, there's just
- 11:20
different, a little different type of episode. So we're just gonna kind of
- 11:22
flow. And yeah, I know I asked a lot of questions. I
- 11:28
guess it's time for me to answer answer some questions. So we're gonna start
- 11:33
with So, if money in time was not an option, wasn't a problem,
- 11:43
money and time it's not even a thing, right, what would you
- 11:48
be doing right now? M If money and time wasn't an issue, what
- 11:54
would you be doing right now? I definitely feel like I would be in
- 12:03
full a full time entrepreneur, full time entrepreneur, full time entrepreneur. And
- 12:09
I want to add to this because the first thing that came in my mind
- 12:11
I didn't want to say it, but I want to say it ministry.
- 12:18
Ministry. And when people say ministry, they think of only the church,
- 12:22
you know, right, Ministry is bigger than like a building. Ministry is
- 12:28
being able to move, being able to be accessible. Right, Um,
- 12:35
I know I'm called to developed not only churches or ministries, but businesses individuals,
- 12:50
right, I would really just want to serve people on a level of
- 12:54
course, you know they were invest in what I would be doing, but
- 12:58
serve people on a level that you know ignite still UM. And so that's
- 13:05
something I'm working on UM as a creative consultant. Yeah, I was just
- 13:09
gonna ask what what what does entrepreneurship ship looks like for you? Yeah?
- 13:13
I finally got a word for I am and I just I try to simplify
- 13:18
as a creative consultant UM where I enhance businesses, ministries and other events UM
- 13:28
especial events creatively. And I have a gift of ad man and so I'm
- 13:37
developing that craft right now. And so you would get to be able to
- 13:41
get a balance and balance of both. You know, not only am I
- 13:45
a great thinker, God has given me a great you know, I could
- 13:48
see things like it stuff just makes sense that don't naturally apparently don't naturally make
- 13:54
sense to other people. You know, I'll be me and You've been a
- 13:58
conversation where I'm like, well, why did you do is why do you
- 14:00
do X Y, Like, oh, I ain't think of it like it
- 14:03
happens so much UM that I'm so so natural at it. And then when
- 14:09
you add wholely spirit to it, then it gives you a whole another level
- 14:13
of the whole other level like you just like whoa, you just exposed me
- 14:18
to that. So yeah, yeah, that's why that's why we're doing doing
- 14:22
this more, you know, podcasting more time. You know, But I
- 14:33
feel like time isn't when when we kind of equate time with UM. I
- 14:41
think some in some seasons, when time is wrapped with finances and revenue,
- 14:48
it's um, it becomes a very precious commodity versus the same amount of time.
- 14:54
You got the same amount of time and finances wasn't an issue. Yeah,
- 14:58
you know what I'm saying. Then it's like the time looks different.
- 15:03
You know what I'm saying Right now? I know for me it's like whoah,
- 15:07
time is money. You know, I want to be wasting no time
- 15:11
because you know, X Y and Z versus you know, once we get
- 15:13
to the point where you know, fin it's just a straight it's good.
- 15:16
Then, like you said, we can do more of those more of those
- 15:18
passionate things, more of those things that God are. God is definitely leading
- 15:22
and calling us to I got a question. So you actually just verbally expressed
- 15:26
this and talked about yourself and the things that God has given you, engraced
- 15:31
you with to the people. It's recorded on this camera, in this in
- 15:35
this audio space. So and and it was just so beautiful because it just
- 15:41
kind of flowed like you know who you are and what He's giving you to
- 15:46
do. So like and I'm pretty sure like you probably wouldn't. You probably
- 15:50
gonna think about it later, but I understaid it now. We don't brought
- 15:54
it on up now. So first of all, check taking old I'm sorry,
- 16:00
no, yeah, this this this is my observations. Y'all started it.
- 16:07
Y'all started. This is my observation because I just think it's I just
- 16:11
think it's beautiful. Okay, I think it's absolutely beautiful. But it just
- 16:15
flowed out so effortlessly. Um it did it? Did? It float out?
- 16:21
So it flowed out very effortlessly, And you know, I had to
- 16:23
get to I think that's the first time it had flown out effortlessly because when
- 16:29
people ask me what I want to do, I think I'm timid to answer
- 16:33
because they don't understand it, and I just to be honest. Sometimes it
- 16:40
don't make sense to me because it's not my vision. When so I got
- 16:45
my degree in communication studies from the University of Alabama road time. Um,
- 16:52
and I had a plan. I really had a plan to go to school.
- 16:56
I was gonna actually become a lawyer. I was yeah, okay,
- 17:02
um, yeah, so clearly, and I had all my advisor at the
- 17:14
time. Um, he said, I was taking his class and he wasn't.
- 17:18
Technically he wasn't my advisor. I made him my advisors. It's interesting,
- 17:23
Uh, Jason Black, he's a dope man, Um he told me.
- 17:30
He asked me where my plans were, and I said, well,
- 17:34
and this is my freshman year. And I said, well, I plan
- 17:37
on going to law school or whatnot. I just don't know what type of
- 17:41
law I want to practice. And I end up finding out that I was
- 17:45
more interested. Like when I was thinking about the plan, I was said,
- 17:49
I'm more interested in family law, which is interesting because I'm married and
- 17:56
family therapy. So the Lord was trying to but then you're gonna help the
- 18:00
family, And I didn't even know it um. So he was like,
- 18:07
I paid attention to you in class, and because I wanted I was one
- 18:11
of the ones that staid in the front of the class. I you was
- 18:15
gonna see me, and I needed I need you to know who I was
- 18:18
because if I needed help, I don't need you saying no, because you
- 18:22
know I participate in your class. I help you'll clays. I helped enhanced
- 18:26
the atmosphere because and so um. He was like I paid attention to in
- 18:30
class and X, Y and Z. He was like, I don't think
- 18:33
you're like being it and he was. It was so both for him and
- 18:37
say that because he didn't know me, but he knew he trusted his observation
- 18:41
and he was right. It was right. He was absolutely right. So
- 18:47
our relationship grew grew uh kind of fast after he was so blunt with me.
- 18:53
You know so um, but you know things that have now your titles
- 19:00
like lawyer, doctor um. Even when people are asking me how I graduated,
- 19:06
What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? I was
- 19:07
like, I said, I don't know, and you're gonna like this.
- 19:11
I was like, I don't know what I'm going to do or what I
- 19:14
want to do. I just don't. I just know that I don't want
- 19:17
to have a career that puts me in a box. I literally that would
- 19:23
be my answer. And people was like, you know, especially when you
- 19:27
were senior in college or whatever. I was like, because they don't really
- 19:30
make sense. Yeah, it don't make sense. Why did you spend four
- 19:33
years in school? Well, um, there's a multiple reasons why I spent
- 19:37
four years in school, and I do not take that bad. You know,
- 19:41
if they want to go ahead and cancel this debt, they can do
- 19:45
that. I but I don't take my experience back because school, going to
- 19:52
college is more than just getting book sense. It's a whole experience, right,
- 19:57
and so I invest an experience. Yeah, I mean many probably don't
- 20:03
aren't fortunate to hell, so I don't take it for granted. However,
- 20:08
I just I enjoy helping people. I really do. I enjoy helping people.
- 20:12
And then I'm a creative. So um, yeah, I think it's
- 20:17
interesting that you say that it came out effortlessly. But I know I'll struggle
- 20:22
before, especially with the ministry part. Oh, if I could do full
- 20:26
time ministry. In full time ministry, now it makes sense to me what
- 20:29
full time ministry looks like, yeah, it's not just speaking in tons and
- 20:34
being at somebody's church all day. It's really like building up the kingdom.
- 20:38
That's what full time ministry is. I think it's interesting. It's it's interesting
- 20:44
to say that because I think that's if a lot more people understood who they
- 20:51
were and what God was calling them to do, they would not run from
- 20:56
the call because traditionally or religion just paints the picture that you've got to be
- 21:02
inside the four walls of the church. Right now, he has called you
- 21:04
know, we're going back to as we talk about the mountains of the influence,
- 21:07
the different mountains that God has in place that he's that we're operating in.
- 21:12
Right. So, you know, there's education, there's governments, there's
- 21:17
finance, there's business, there's arts and entertainment, there's media, there's family,
- 21:22
right, um and so, and the mountain of religion, which is
- 21:25
like the church, you know, the fine fold things like that. Now
- 21:27
some of us are called to multiple mountains, yeah we are, and then
- 21:30
some of us are called to you know, one mountain. And it kind
- 21:33
of goes back to like the story of like the parable of the talents,
- 21:37
Right, you give some one according to their abilities, and you give some
- 21:41
multiple ones. Right. And so if we understood, if we begin to
- 21:45
take the journey to understand who we are and what He's calling us to do,
- 21:49
we will be a little bit more open to accepting the call of on
- 21:53
our life into ministry, because honestly, ministry could be like you wake up,
- 21:59
you know you may have to go. You may you may be on
- 22:00
your regular route to your job. Right, the Holy Spirit say I need
- 22:04
to go to the pigglweg grocery store and get this juice. Yeah right,
- 22:08
you'd be like, Okay, well, I guess I might be a little
- 22:11
thirsty. Okay, so I'm gonna go to the pigglwigg grocery store get this
- 22:12
juice. Right. Well, on your way there, and why are you
- 22:15
walking down the aisle? You may see a little lady who who may kept
- 22:19
your attention, right, and maybe you speak to her, maybe you have
- 22:22
a conversation. But it was in a divine appointment. Yeah, you know
- 22:26
what I'm saying. It was a divine appointment that you had to be open
- 22:29
to doing because she had something, You had something that she needed in that
- 22:34
moment. Yeah, And that's how intentional. God is about our lives,
- 22:38
like once we really understand, like we just have to be open to flowing
- 22:44
with him because there's people that are assigned to us, and then we're assigned
- 22:47
to people. So if ain't nobody being obedient on nothing, we all I
- 22:49
have struggling in the streets. Listen, we all have struggled in the streets.
- 22:53
But even the funny thing is as God is just so intentional. Like
- 22:57
my desire when I was younger, I want to be a nurse. I
- 23:02
used to watch labor and Delivery and like a Baby Story, all these little
- 23:06
medical shows on like till see. I was like, oh, I want
- 23:07
to be a nurse, right, But when I realized as I got older,
- 23:11
there was just a desire to help and serve people. It was just
- 23:15
a desire that was It was always there, but I was just grat I
- 23:19
was just trying to make it fit in something that I could see tangibly and
- 23:25
what people like we don't and that's why we wish they would do in school,
- 23:29
Like I hate that they're taking the arts out of school because it's not
- 23:33
just a decompression or a way for them to express yourself, but it really
- 23:37
gives you another opportunity to say, in my mind things creatively and I can
- 23:42
prosper in something creative like no lie, Like I know people that are inspiring
- 23:48
artists and want to do X, Y and Z, but no one pushes
- 23:52
them or pushes their dream or purpose. And not that we've done people or
- 23:57
disservice of not giving them exposure to different opportunities like even my nine A five
- 24:06
like when people first start um first heard me say, oh, I worked
- 24:11
at this place, you you do this? And I'm like, because if
- 24:18
I say what I do, y'all don't know you do this. It's like,
- 24:26
yeah, I actually run a business. Actually I'm my branch. You
- 24:33
know, I operate a million dollars business. Yeah, like preparation on you
- 24:37
know what I'm saying. And so it's like, yeah, that's what I'm
- 24:45
doing here. I'm managing that, you know what I'm saying. And so
- 24:48
when you think about it, when you give people different perspectives on different opportunities,
- 24:53
like we gotta start saying stop saying job like this is an opportunity and
- 25:00
maybe we're like going up, waking up and going to get to our opportunities,
- 25:04
right, or if you understand that sometimes he puts us in places that
- 25:07
we may not want to be in to teach us in training some things,
- 25:11
to get us to the knick. You just said you operate a million dollar
- 25:14
business when you have no excuse now not to be able to operate your own
- 25:18
million dollar business because you've already been doing it, like he's already put you
- 25:21
in that place to to to do so you already know what that looks like.
- 25:23
You know what I'm saying. Now, let me let me make it
- 25:26
clear for your souls. I don't have a million dollars because that let's let's
- 25:34
just one second. When people say their business made this amount of money,
- 25:41
does not mean they pocketed that like they still got to pay um, you
- 25:48
know, Paul Wall. They gotta go. You got expenses that that it
- 25:56
takes to operate the business. So calls come out of it called my chick
- 26:00
ain't a million dollars. They're not. They're not sending me a million dollars.
- 26:04
This I'm gonna right, I'm probably gonna write myself the first million dollars
- 26:07
chick, I propily I did, Pinky cold, Pinko did it? Why
- 26:11
can't I? That's she? She she she you know, when she was
- 26:17
talking, she would roll her nick like you better have confidence in your seaster.
- 26:22
That lady pinky cold, that lady pinky cold too something that the world
- 26:27
was like, Nah, that ain't for me. Being a being ain't for
- 26:32
me. And she brought herself to emerge herself into it. And now she's
- 26:38
a multi millionaire to build the whole empire and has done it in multiple streams
- 26:47
of ways. Listen that part and not being. One thing I like about
- 26:51
her is that she's not being making a secret. She makes it very She
- 26:57
puts it out there and I don't and I don't six that she does it
- 27:00
for a flix. You got some people that do it for a flix.
- 27:03
I feel like she genuinely wants to assist people and get them out of the
- 27:07
broken mindset of you know, you can't do this. It was so beauty.
- 27:11
She did a post one time and I think she has a Jamaican joint
- 27:17
or something like that. Um and I think it was in New York.
- 27:22
This was when she first starting. Now, yeah she was, and she
- 27:26
talked about how you know that she was based on her small beginning. So
- 27:32
the pinky end appreciates the pinky now you know what I'm saying. She even
- 27:37
the PreK Pinky now appreciates the pinking end because she went through that process because
- 27:44
with like were just saying what she learned benefited and allowed her to be this
- 27:48
multi millionaire. I think she thirty five, thirty six. Yeah, I'm
- 27:53
only thirty one. So Pinky, I say, grace, Pinky miss to
- 28:00
get called same grace. Okay, all right, same grain, same grace.
- 28:07
Like you got a family, you got a husband, you got your
- 28:11
businesses, same grace. But she did this before she got and I think
- 28:17
I need to say this to myself as a single woman. She did this
- 28:21
before before she got married. She was she was successful, she was able
- 28:25
to do all this stuff. Before she got married. She was walking out,
- 28:27
she was a purpose. She was paying paying the rest of folks school
- 28:33
fees Clark at Lenard because I think that's when she went to school. She
- 28:36
was playing the rest of school fees before she got married. Like, she
- 28:40
did all of this before entering into a marriage or building her family. Yeah,
- 28:45
sometimes my focus be off. So I have remembered that you know that's
- 28:48
good dress girl, do it before. You can do it without the kids.
- 28:52
You can do it without their hoosband, they gonna come. And when
- 28:57
they come, m spishals my child. Y'all know how you like my man,
- 29:03
my man, my man? When I tell you'am, have the T
- 29:06
shirt on the well the shoe. What you said, just prepared against sick
- 29:11
of me? Be prepared and be prepared. That was good. So what's
- 29:18
been on your mind lately that you would like to share with your audience?
- 29:23
What has been on my don't share every week. I mean we can listen
- 29:27
to week. Oh what has been on my mind? Not giving up,
- 29:38
not quitning, not giving up, not quicken to be honest, because sometimes
- 29:51
just depending on the situations or whatever, you can misconstrue what you see.
- 29:56
You can misconstrue what you see and have blurred vision. Um. And so
- 30:10
it's not that I want to give up. I'm just trying to make sure
- 30:15
I don't because I don't think anybody just seeks to give up. I don't
- 30:22
think somebody started something to say, oh, I'm just gonna give up on
- 30:23
this. Yeah. It's when you start and you can see the process and
- 30:33
the finish line seems so far away. It could seem so far away that
- 30:45
you're like, why am I doing this right, And so sometimes I don't
- 30:52
only say about the podcast. But before you came, I asked, I
- 30:56
asked. I was like, God, if it's not a youth thing,
- 31:03
but if it is, you haven't send me here because I'm I'm gonna say
- 31:07
I was exhausted, but I was. I wouldn't say I wasn't manage you
- 31:11
will the excellence that you said earlier, it was I saw too much and
- 31:15
I was like, I'm not able to do this right now, I'm not
- 31:18
able to do it. And if I can't. If I can't do it
- 31:21
an excellence, why am I doing it? If I can't be consistentated,
- 31:25
why am I doing it? So the excellent was you had a digital excellence?
- 31:32
Was yeah, and you didn't feel like you could meet that. He
- 31:37
was not meeting that, right, So I compare myself to great So we
- 31:41
talk about Tim rossum, but even he had a journey. You know,
- 31:48
he has a journey. Um. But I was comparing my stuff, my
- 31:52
platform to David Shade like, which I'm so would you even know? You
- 32:00
know, they all started, they all started somewhere right, Um, But
- 32:07
even that it's like, oh, you got too much as sensible to you
- 32:12
whatever and having to do so much investments, like with the um the videos
- 32:19
and the editing, and I didn't have the quality camera and this setup was
- 32:23
not I was fine when my setup, I really was. It was in
- 32:28
my it's in my little office. Or what if I go live on Facebook
- 32:31
every Monday morning, I mean every Monday that line. I don't go on
- 32:36
a Monday morning, it's the evening time. Um, I go live and
- 32:43
you'll see my my little setup or whatever, And at that part doesn't matter.
- 32:47
But I think I just had to get over the perfectionism right when something
- 32:54
didn't. You know, some don't sound right, when something I even call
- 32:59
you like asist, some off like I don't know, I don't know to
- 33:02
put a finger on it, but some off I ain't liked it. So
- 33:06
what we're gonna do about this is like out the things I'm saying to you,
- 33:09
I was doing it to myself. So I spent hours and hours and
- 33:13
hours investigating solutions to things and so um yeah yeah, but I'm still I
- 33:23
feel like who I'm comparing myself to it is where I want to be and
- 33:30
I still have so so far ago. So yeah, just not just not
- 33:37
quick. And that's what's been on my mind, mac Queen, not saying
- 33:42
I'm gonna quick, but not to quick. Yeah, and um and you
- 33:47
just and you it's good. So the dangerous part in having people that you
- 33:53
look up to is the comparison part, because they're just supposed to be inspiration,
- 33:59
right, you know what I'm It's like, oh man, I love
- 34:00
the journey that it's taken. I know if they if they've done it,
- 34:05
then I know I could do it. Maybe I like this part over here
- 34:07
like this. But so you're like even like when when clients were sent to
- 34:09
bring me, they'd be like, oh, I want my hair like this,
- 34:12
and I'd be like, well, I need the inspiration picture. So
- 34:15
that for me because I'm visual, right, So and two when it comes
- 34:17
to like hair things and colors and things like that, people see different things.
- 34:22
So I need to see what you're seeing so that then I can use
- 34:24
that to um craft together or bringing together what you like. But just using
- 34:32
this as an inspiration, right, And I tell them very clearly, this
- 34:37
is an inspiration picture. Yeah, this ain't my work. Even if it
- 34:39
was my work. Sometimes I can't duplicate. I'm not and I'm not going
- 34:44
to duplicate like something I've already done on somebody else, you know what I'm
- 34:47
saying, So we can inspire this. Look, you know you want to
- 34:51
be burnt one? Okay, great, what shade of burn I want?
- 34:53
Because they're doing shade. You know what I'm saying. But I think it's
- 34:58
it's it's dope to have inspirations. We just have to be careful not to
- 35:00
cross that line of comparison because I do that. I do that myself sometimes
- 35:06
when while you were just talking, I heard I heard this that we have
- 35:10
to change our goal? What does that mean? So when I look at
- 35:16
when I'm gonna comparing myself to the Tim Rosses and the David Shannons or whatever,
- 35:21
and I said, I'm never gonna get here. But they built their
- 35:23
platforms and they have a lot of followers. They get a lot of shares.
- 35:27
That's why they get a lot of you know, listens or whatever.
- 35:30
I'm not necessarily comparing myself right now to their followers. However, if I
- 35:37
was, then I would need to check myself. Right. I was comparing
- 35:44
myself to the quality right and not thinking that, Okay, these are prerecorded
- 35:51
podcasts. They had time to you know, take all these clips out.
- 35:57
They have a full team to do all this stuff. They're not managing their
- 36:00
own social media per se, and somebody's always on deck to assist him,
- 36:07
you know what I'm saying. So right now, they got that because they
- 36:16
got they got the team, but they built themselves, and so sometimes we
- 36:22
got to change our goal. Okay, what is my goal with my podcast
- 36:25
and my inspiration where inspiration I'm gonna take that. One thing I take from
- 36:30
Tim Brosse is that he's gonna apologically jet. He's unapologetically him, and he's
- 36:37
unapologetically Kingdom right. He's um. Whether they're talking about six where they're talking
- 36:45
about marriages, where they're talking about um, whether he's talking about the Bible
- 36:51
just strictly the Bible itself, he gonna give you him all right, and
- 36:58
he's going to He's okay with saying I don't know all right. Um.
- 37:05
One thing I like about David Shannon is that he reaches out. He reaches
- 37:07
He has a lot of gifts. I really enjoyed the fact that he gives
- 37:10
gifts the opportunity to shine, right. And he's brilliant, like he he
- 37:17
was working at not Chief but Chiefecake Factory, you know, like and so,
- 37:23
and what I do know tangibly, this ain't even about this, ain't
- 37:30
even about like what I think I know. I know I know this because
- 37:36
this is one of these people. Where was my coach? Is that he
- 37:39
brings people up with him when he sees something in you, he brings people
- 37:45
up with him. And I started to be like that, like I want
- 37:49
to do that. You want to hear an interesting random piece of information.
- 37:52
You know how I got intogit space. It's a conversation with David Shann's.
- 38:00
I had just joined. I had just joined. This is when before he
- 38:04
started podcasting, he was doing like a kind of like a mentor. He
- 38:08
had a mentorship program. I had just joined the mentorship program. And when
- 38:13
you joined, you get a one on one. So this is like August
- 38:16
twenty eighteen, right, and so you know we're talking. You know,
- 38:21
he's just trying to, you know, get a feel of who I am
- 38:23
or what I do. And so I started to tell him that, you
- 38:25
know, I've been in these I've been doing a salon sweet business. Right,
- 38:29
But I knew and I didn't know what this looked like. I just
- 38:31
knew. I always said I'm gonna do hair makeup and photography. Now I
- 38:35
wasn't even really I was shooting off and on, but I wasn't even shooting
- 38:37
professionally at this point, right, And so I had started I had been
- 38:42
in two salon sweet businesses with just doing hair, and at one point I
- 38:45
was actually renting an office that I had my photography stuff in. And so
- 38:50
at this point I actually started looking for commercial spaces. And so I had
- 38:53
reached out to the property management company at the time. It was an office
- 38:58
that was a little bit further down to pell him. And when he got
- 39:00
to ask me what I was gonna do, he actually the mister Ponder that
- 39:05
was his name, he recommended the space. He said, oh, maybe
- 39:07
this space is gonna work better because it's kind of a difference between like office
- 39:10
space versus like a retail space. You have a little bit more freedom and
- 39:13
flexibility of how you can use it. So we're having this conversation and I
- 39:17
tell him, you know, I'm telling them about the space, you know,
- 39:20
and I'm telling them what I'm paying right now and ranting for you know,
- 39:22
those salon suites are they're small. It was probably about I don't know
- 39:30
three when I was in it was like three hundred square feet or two or
- 39:34
something. It was small, but it was roughly almost twelve hundred dollars what
- 39:38
yes, And so you know, then I'm telling them that I found the
- 39:40
space, and you know how much the space rnting for and things I want
- 39:45
to do in this space that are down. He said, okay, yeah,
- 39:47
So what's keeping you from getting in space? I said, well,
- 39:54
I guess myself. And he said, oh, okay, where's your birthday?
- 40:00
I said, I'm totally living. You should be in anybody your birthday
- 40:06
And I said, wait, it's August. And he said, yeah,
- 40:08
what's what's really stopping you right now? And it was really nothing. And
- 40:12
when I tell you everything, once I made a decision. Once I decided,
- 40:16
okay, lord, this is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna step
- 40:19
out. I'm gonna do this. Like when I tell you, everything was
- 40:21
so divinely lined up from like one of my clients, her husband, he's
- 40:27
he has his own submit business, but he him and hit some of his
- 40:30
contracting friends. They came in. It was all like it was literally already
- 40:35
set up like this. It was just all cosmetic things. But I needed
- 40:37
to I didn't have the funding to do so, so because you know,
- 40:40
I was smaller like and I didn't really need a whole lot, like a
- 40:45
lot of like the commercial loans I couldn't get. So my friend says,
- 40:49
hey, my friend, what about um um my home equit line of credit?
- 40:52
You know, I got my town home. I was like, oh,
- 40:54
I don't know if that is, but sure, let me research it.
- 40:55
So I go on line throughout the application. At this time, her
- 40:59
sister's working in the bank, the branch, and she tells the manager,
- 41:02
Hey, you know blah blah bah. Don't know what she told her,
- 41:05
but anyway, so I feel it out. One night, my friend asked
- 41:07
me if I heard anything back. I did. In that next morning,
- 41:10
I get an email, Hey, miss Greenwood, we got your application.
- 41:14
Blah blah blah blah blah. So I don't At this time, I don't
- 41:15
went to research like with this home equally line in the time. So it's
- 41:19
almost like it's a it's a second mortgage pretty much right, And it's almost
- 41:22
like you're closing on another mortgage. So you know that's at least three to
- 41:27
three weeks to four weeks, right, kid? You not? This was
- 41:30
this morning, That was that morning she said, hey, you know like
- 41:32
to send out the praiser, La la la la. Why buy twelve o'clock
- 41:37
in the same day. Like she was like, okay, we got you
- 41:39
approved. I was like, wait what no, I kid, you noted
- 41:44
the same day, the there same day, and they got in here.
- 41:50
They did work, you know, And my goal wasn't to actually, so
- 41:52
I signed the least on September one, um, and and they gave me
- 41:57
about a month or so to get ready. And my first day working in
- 42:00
here was gonna be November to fifth. Okay, So I had a little
- 42:05
as my birthday. My birthday came, I was, I had the space
- 42:07
about my birthday and um, the very first day that I could go to
- 42:12
work in here, I don't got no hot water. I'm still doing hair
- 42:15
now. I don't got no hot water. There's no hot water to wash
- 42:17
these people heads. Lord, how is this possible? I called. I
- 42:22
called mister Keith. I said, he to keep. I don't gonna know
- 42:22
how water. What what's up? He said, Oh, oh, don't
- 42:27
worry about it. I got you him his butter friends whoever. They brought
- 42:30
a whole something gallant that hot water take sent back down the back you see
- 42:35
how be that thing is. Huh. They brought it in, they had
- 42:37
to move it out of the bathroom, rewired and took all this old stuff
- 42:40
up and I paid them two hundred and fifty dollars. But at hot Water
- 42:44
he tame. So I'm in here because somebody challenged me to do something different.
- 42:50
Oh that's so good, And then I had to decide to do it.
- 42:54
You're speaking with you should you don't want to go? I'm good,
- 42:57
I'm saying. I mean, I know people that's watching on YouTube probably like
- 43:01
enjoying watching mind you at I know, but that's but that's just that's that,
- 43:07
that's just that's just his I've seen a little bit his journey in the
- 43:10
background, you know what I'm saying. So to see where he is now,
- 43:14
that's my inspiration. He was pouring then, yes, right, sleep
- 43:17
is for fuckers. Sleep is for suckers, Okay, suckers. And and
- 43:23
he and what's so interesting about him, He's like he just makes it so,
- 43:28
he bakes it feel like it's so simple, which it is. But
- 43:30
like he taught matter other city, he said, soul, what's holding you
- 43:36
up? It was me? And most of the time it just it's us
- 43:43
and the sightsiveness keeps us in Bundy. Unbelief keeps us feeling on the word
- 43:50
D. He definitely keeps us. And he had this informercial. I don't
- 43:54
say informercial, but it's commercial on Facebook right now where he say he just
- 44:00
walking with his phone talking saying, you know, promoting a class, like
- 44:04
a podcast class or something like that. Um, and he's like, hey,
- 44:08
I just I got my studio set up in my house. And I
- 44:13
was like, which is where he started, by the way. Yeah.
- 44:16
So it's like he's like, I'm not doing anything that you can't do,
- 44:21
like he just I know a lot of people say that, but I really
- 44:24
like he's believable. Like he's believable. That's why I'm taking my with in
- 44:30
Miami good. I don't I don't care, I um since here, I'm
- 44:37
just just I had um listened in on a m you know he was you
- 44:42
know how one of the models is the free webinars, right, Yeahbo does
- 44:45
the free webinars. And then at the end day, you know, he
- 44:49
was talking about his he was talking about the the Miami thing. What is
- 44:54
it the past? Yeah, but in the webinar though, I'm just listening
- 45:00
and he's just kind of talking about how you start the podcast and things of
- 45:02
this nature. So this is how I beat so in my mind about oh
- 45:06
I need I need this camera. I need I need this camera. I
- 45:09
need to get these pieces. Girl. Why he used this camera right here
- 45:13
for his morning meet up? You know what did he do a morning meetup?
- 45:15
He was like, yeah, you can use you know, such when
- 45:17
you use this and these for you know, um, for a certain pocket
- 45:22
for my mother meetups which he makes money off of because it's a monthly thing.
- 45:25
Right to use the camera right there. I already got the camera,
- 45:29
Jessica, and I'm trying to go you know, outside of what he's we
- 45:35
think people are doing so so so much. And he's like, use what's
- 45:40
in your hands, use what's saying your hands, and use what's in your
- 45:45
hands. And as you continue to progress, I can guarantee you he probably
- 45:49
he probably not always use the camera. He figured it out though. That's
- 45:52
where he started. Now he goes now, of course, now they got
- 45:54
some fancies. You know what I'm saying black for the sake of to me,
- 45:57
that a good quality. As we're talking about that, so the people
- 46:00
can see, oh, we're talking about this camera, like y'all can see.
- 46:07
So to me, this is fancy. But I think what's fancy because
- 46:12
I know learning from you is that you can have this is a base,
- 46:15
but this is the lens. Yeah, yea, And this is a canon
- 46:21
what that's an M fifty M fifty mark two, mark two And it's a
- 46:25
really good um content like for like content creators because it's it's like an entry
- 46:31
level mirror list camera. So you know, I don't know if you've been
- 46:35
here in the hype about oh the hype about like the mirror list cameras and
- 46:38
things, that this is a this is a consumer version of a mirror List
- 46:42
but it's really good quality. The base is amazing and you can get different
- 46:45
looks and change the quality of about the lens. All right, So we're
- 46:47
gonna stop talking so you can get paid for this information. Okay, all
- 46:52
right, So and our next question, I don't have no miss, I
- 46:55
don't have no saying my girl, my girl donna put on class and all
- 47:00
like you see how excited to so enjoy a little free till man just start
- 47:05
with you. And that's literally what the Lord said about That's why it was
- 47:07
important for me to start because I was trying to get all the big fancy
- 47:12
things I needed. I wanted to beat mics and the disiness. And the
- 47:15
day he said, when you got some mics, som just need you to
- 47:17
start, and then you start, and then this is literally what happened.
- 47:21
He's been showing me from pieces that I have, how to make them work
- 47:24
and how to elevate them, you know. So now I got the vision
- 47:29
in the plan of what I need, and some of the pieces they're just
- 47:30
coming. It's just a matter of little investment here and there. But it's
- 47:34
not like I have to go and invest in a whole, big system.
- 47:36
I was trying to get a whole like which I probably will at some point
- 47:39
were down the line, like a whole you know, mix and board kind
- 47:43
of thing, and we will you know what I'm saying, But to elevate
- 47:46
what we're already doing. I already got the pieces. I just needed to
- 47:50
start so that he can start to show, you know, and unveil some
- 47:52
things you need to put them together. Yeah that's good. Yeah, that's
- 47:55
good. So this is doing this the prep podcast actually help for you to
- 48:01
really enhance what you hadn't really been utilizing, Yeah, for sure, or
- 48:07
I think sometimes we don't realize what we already have. It's powerful that what
- 48:13
we already already have is powerful because listen, you think about it. We're
- 48:16
gonna we're gonna talk about this seed, the seed. Right, So let's
- 48:22
say it's a a palm tree. It's a palm tree seed, right,
- 48:29
So start with the seed. Well, in order for the palm tree to
- 48:31
grow, the seed ain't going outside itself to go look for the palm tree.
- 48:35
You take the seed and put it in the ground, and the palm
- 48:37
tree comes out of the sea, which means everything that's needed for the palm
- 48:42
tree to grow into to be the palm tree is already inside the seed.
- 48:45
So it's already he already he already put the little the little things. You
- 48:51
know, He's already given us all the ingredients on the inside that we need.
- 48:54
We just have to continue to go and allow him to water it.
- 49:00
Okay, y'all see y'all recording while she recorded how she recorded, record how
- 49:06
she recorded me recording? H because you should be on this couch were you're
- 49:08
talking too good? You should be on this couch. I'm Season three see
- 49:15
season three y'all, I'm gonna even giving you two episodes. Okay, bad
- 49:19
okay, so um we're gonn to too long. Two more so y'all depend
- 49:32
on um what happened? No? Okay, so listen, So tell me
- 49:44
about three. Three. Tell me about the three most influential people in your
- 49:50
life and how they have impacted you. WHOA, I don't have to think
- 49:58
about that. Well, it might be obvious the first lay. Just okay,
- 50:09
three influential people and how they've impacted you, how they've impacted me.
- 50:15
I'm gonna go ahead and stake the obvious. I mean, if you know
- 50:17
me, you know me. Um, first person, I'm gonna say it's
- 50:25
um, doctor DEFUNDI, doctor defund me. And I'm gonna look in this
- 50:30
camera and tell y'all about doctor defund me. So I met um coach d
- 50:37
I'll see, I gotta call a coach coach d uh and twenty twenty Yeah,
- 50:43
because it's in three years, y'all. I met her in twenty twenty
- 50:49
and I was doing a a conference that ended up being a retreat and really
- 50:58
the god really or damned out relationship like it was, it was a god
- 51:05
or damned lists. Just say that because I don't know if I would have
- 51:09
chosen to be stressed as much. I don't know it I would have chosen
- 51:15
to be stressed as much. And I didn't really think that, honest to
- 51:21
God, that I would be somebody that she that had her interests. Does
- 51:27
that make sense? So I thought so highly of her that I was,
- 51:32
you know, kind of belittling in myself. Well, what influenced me about
- 51:37
her is is that I'm able to see in three years, y'all, I've
- 51:40
been able to see her grow get you know, get these build businesses,
- 51:50
buildings, houses, and that's just tangible stuff. But I'm able to see
- 51:54
her live a king a real kingdom life like she kingdom for real, like
- 52:01
for real, like kingdom for real. And so why do I say that
- 52:05
she influenced me? Ever since she's been in my life, my life has
- 52:10
literally gone like there's a demand that she puts on my life, Like,
- 52:16
lady, you don't have to live this life, man, you don't have
- 52:21
to live this life, but you put a demand on my life like this.
- 52:24
So she's influenced me so greatly, just about her presence and just about
- 52:31
her being herself. You know what I'm saying? Like she's unapologetically herself and
- 52:37
she unapologized, unapologetically loves God. She unapologetically she's just fearless man like she
- 52:44
she just she just does it. She's the executor and so like I just
- 52:49
she's the total package for me. Yeah, like she she's a total package
- 52:52
for me. And um no, I don't say, I don't say it.
- 52:58
Um So, coach d the person. Okay. Second one would be
- 53:05
my aunt, my aunt untunt if y'all know T, y'all know T Pamela
- 53:15
Barry Johnson, it's her name Yellow Rabbit PR Marketing. So I told y'all
- 53:25
before that I had naturally devoted. I started this. You know, at
- 53:31
first it was a blog and it was just something I was gonna be,
- 53:35
you know, release or whatever. And then it became because of Auntie,
- 53:42
it became a magazine. And literally we said we sat on the floor.
- 53:50
Well I sat on the floor, she was on the hook. Ok clear,
- 53:55
literally Brainstorm a magazine that I never wanted. I never saw it for
- 54:01
myself. See, these two, like Coaching Auntie pam they have something in
- 54:08
coming, Like they saw things and they made me birth it out because I
- 54:13
never saw I never I never saw this for me. That's that's what you
- 54:16
said, divine connection and this vine connection happening to be on my and my
- 54:22
blood level. So that was the beautiful thing. Like everything I know creatively,
- 54:28
my aunt brought it out of me. She was the igniter like she
- 54:32
saw it, and she was like, UM, now I'm gonna train you
- 54:39
to do it and then I'm gonna take my hands off of it. She
- 54:43
literally trained me in one season and didn't give me warning that I would be
- 54:47
doing it by myself. I won't say by myself before myself the Knick season
- 54:52
next. She's given me opportunities to even um, you know, learn about
- 54:58
social media and marketing. Um, just telling me to step out on faith.
- 55:02
It's just be She's very adamant about us not living in poverty. She's
- 55:13
very adamant about us building generational wealth. And she's like, hey, I
- 55:17
started it too late, but they don't mean that job I started late.
- 55:22
She's the reason for me. Both me and my sister are finally like when
- 55:30
she takes me or I called me and tell me she proud of me,
- 55:34
that means song, that means something because she actually invested, She actually invested
- 55:43
her time, even her finances things that she literally like my aunt is such
- 55:52
has such so much experience, and all that experience she has said, Okay,
- 55:58
I'm gonna share it with you. And so she's very influential to me,
- 56:02
Like I I'm grateful for her. So the last person I'm gonna say,
- 56:13
I'm trying. I'm gonna try to not crycause I feel like I get
- 56:15
gonna get emotional and gonna get about titition. No, okay, I'm just
- 56:19
gonna take my time and say this last person, um my sister, mm
- 56:24
hmm, I'm laughed before. I won't cry y out. Um yeah,
- 56:36
every place, everyplace, Kindle. So Kilma's testimony so amazing. So the
- 56:50
kindle now that TikTok and the Instagram and Facebook and her clients get to experience,
- 56:55
I got to witness that growth. And Kendall went from not knowing what
- 57:08
she was gonna do when she got pregnant with mine niece than Kilda was nineteen,
- 57:19
Kilda was twenty one something like that. She was she had she was
- 57:23
a sophomore in college, let's just say that. And Kilda went from not
- 57:34
knowing what she was gonna do, y'all with her aspirations or dreams of goal.
- 57:42
She didn't. She went from not knowing what she was gonna do two
- 57:45
years later having a thriving business. She got homes a line, She has
- 57:53
a family, a beautiful family, and she just when she makes a decision
- 58:00
to do something, she does it like that's so powerful. And I don't
- 58:06
think she realized how much her forward movement inspires me. Like my sister so
- 58:15
dope, but my sister is dope. And to have that, I name
- 58:22
two people in my bloodline and that's to say that, say it's a lot
- 58:25
for me. I mean, that says a lot for my bloodline. Thank
- 58:29
you, oh, thank you God for giving me an influential bloodline, a
- 58:34
bloodline I could look at and say, oh my gods, I can grow
- 58:37
from that. I can I can progress from that, I can prosper from
- 58:44
that. I can look at my own family, y'all. I can look
- 58:46
at my own bloodline and say say, there's greatness there. Everybody can't do
- 58:52
it. And so, yeah, Kimbo, she'll list the icing on the
- 59:00
cake for me. How um, how far party, y'all? Yeah,
- 59:05
I'm gonna see her next next season. Yeah, I only put a demand
- 59:08
on it because she's too great not to be on this couch or whatever we
- 59:13
decide. She might decide to change the city, y'all, don't don't look
- 59:16
for this thing. It might be something different because that's that's that's what she
- 59:21
might decide to do. But yeah, Kela is definitely gonna be all season
- 59:24
three. And she got to now because I'm you don't put that. I
- 59:29
didn't really kind of like put her own, but he did just and she
- 59:34
oiling. Like when I was talking about Past the Gates, she um and
- 59:44
how she's like she understands her position, but she also understand who she is.
- 59:47
That's my that's my sister. I love that. Like she's always been
- 59:55
like in my eyes, she might say something different confidence, and that's why
- 1:00:04
she was always like, you know, she was always appreciated. She's just
- 1:00:09
dope, man, Like, what's this is so dope? She's she's just
- 1:00:14
dope. That's beautiful. I think that's beautiful. And sometimes you know,
- 1:00:22
even in our own you know, struggles sometimes like you just never know who's
- 1:00:28
watching, you know what I'm saying, and how you just continue to say
- 1:00:31
yes even when you don't understand something, or even when things don't feel good.
- 1:00:38
Things don't look good. You just never know who's watching your journey and
- 1:00:43
how you are actually inspiring them to keep pushing along as well. You know
- 1:00:46
what I'm saying. Um, And that's the crazy thing. That's what this
- 1:00:52
journey is. Yeah, it's a it's a journey, and it's not even
- 1:00:55
for us. The journey ain't even for us. It's for but the name
- 1:01:00
