4:48

4:56

4:59
y'all y'all you know how y'all do. Y'all got the whole weekend. It
5:00
ain't just a day, It's the whole week. Because I was talking to
5:08
one of my homegirls today, right, and I was like, you know
5:11
what, we start advertising for Mother's Day, like a whole month ahead.
5:15
Father's Day. We might see one or two advertisements that Friday, you know,
5:21
and then we all get together and they cook out on Saturday or Sunday,
5:25
and man is still on the earth. I ain't got lie, but
5:32
I appreciate you for writing this book, The Power of a Man, Faith,
5:36
Family, Finance in the Future. That's a lot of power in that
5:43
title. So before we get to that title, tell us a little bit
5:46
about you. Well, sure, I am doctor lee Ory McKenzie Junior,
5:55
the impact Builder. I am the president and CEO of A n F Enterprises,
6:00
which is a business consulting firm located here in Baltimore, Maryland. And
6:08
what we do is we simply we assist entrepreneurs UH to be able to reclaim
6:13
their time so that they can be more organized and more structured in having a
6:19
meaningful having meaningful relationships between family, friends, and the and the UH,
6:28
the the community that they serve as well. Just a little bit about what
6:32
I do in addition to being an author as well. Within that is being
6:35
an author as well. So this book The Power Men M Why what needs
6:46
you sit down there? All these nuggets in this book. Here's the thing,
6:55
and you kind of mentioned it in in your introduction. There's so many
6:59
there's so many resources out here for women. There's there's everything for you.
7:04
All that's out here that you can get access to when it comes to understanding
7:11
you as a woman in the womanhood and all those things, but there's not
7:14
a lot of things out here for men. So I wanted to write a
7:19
book that dealt with us as men and manhood, but also women could glean
7:26
from it insight, wisdom, uh, and some ideas about who we are
7:30
as men. And the ultimate goal for the book was to have men to
7:35
be able to understand our power as men and when we walk in that power.
7:42
What happens when you walk in the power of your faith, and you
7:45
walk in the power of your family, when you walk in the power of
7:47
your finances, and when you understand walking in the power of your future,
7:53
which is the legacy that you're leaving. What legacy are you leaving for the
7:57
next generation? What are you doing to be able to him? And I
8:00
felt it was I just felt it was important for us as men to be
8:03
able to understand that power, but more importantly, walk in that power,
8:07
because you can understand it all day. But if you aren't doing anything,
8:11
uh, And if you aren't doing anything to walk in that power and exerting
8:15
yourself to to to be in that power and understand it, it does you
8:20
no good. So that was the aim and the purpose of writing the book.
8:24
I just wanted us to be better, do better as men. And
8:26
what better way to do that than to to leave to have something that men
8:31
could could use as a guide to be able to understand and then be able
8:37
to implement use the tools that I talk about in the book. Now,
8:39
that is great. That is great, and coming from another man, that's
8:43
even perfect. So I want to know one thing. I don't know if
8:50
you guys can tell us this. You know, it might be in you
8:52
guys as hand book only I need the brothers of that after me. No,
9:01
you be that the general homeboy answer. You know, y'all, y'all
9:05
do stuff like that. My question is one, what is one thing that
9:11
our men are missing from other men? And then I'm gonna ask that question
9:16
again. Wow twisted, But what are we missing? What are men missing
9:22
from other men? Wow? That that and that's a great question. And
9:26
in this day, I think I think other men are missing uh, leadership,
9:35
I think we're missing guidance. I think we're missing structure. Those are
9:41
the those are the things that that we need coming into mainhood to be able
9:46
to understand and and it was part of me writing a book with some of
9:52
the things that I didn't have growing up. Even though my dad was in
9:54
my life. You know, he was in He was in my life,
9:58
but he wasn't a part of my life as much as I wanted to be.
10:01
But he was, but he was there. But one of the things
10:03
that I gained from him was structured, was discipline, was leadership, and
10:11
a general understanding of what it was to be a man. Now I had
10:16
because of the because of the just the wonderfulness of my mother. She was.
10:22
She was adamant about making sure that I had positive male figures in my
10:24
life and that I had men that were the example for me, you know,
10:31
and being able to to say, hey, here's some examples for you
10:35
to be able to use in addition to your father, in addition to you
10:39
know, to what I can give. So it was important. I think
10:43
those are the things that I see are missing today. I think there's a
10:46
miseducation of manhood today that is truly missing. And it's I think it's missing
10:54
because we as men and this and the older generation. I'm fifty five,
10:58
so I'm the oh the generation now. But it's the thing that is so
11:09
it's what what I see is missing. Part of what's missing is that guidance
11:16
in wanting to be able to instill and showing that the next general what leadership
11:22
looks like, what manhood looks like in the right way, because you can
11:26
find all day. You know, there's fully a podcast out here that talk
11:30
about relationships talking about manhood. But to me, that their joke. I
11:35
call them a joke. I call them the cotton candy podcast because they don't
11:39
truly talk about understanding what manhood is. They want to tell you that that
11:45
manhood is is is what a man is. The Only thing that they talk
11:50
about is protecting them provided. It's the only thing that you'll hear them say.
11:54
And it's always from a financial perspective, and it's always from a strength
11:58
perspect It's never from the the the the other aspects of protect providing what I
12:05
call the therapies, which is producing what are you cultivating as a man?
12:11
Those are the things that aren't are missing in this day and time and and
12:15
and the overall. Because I know myself and and the men that I hang
12:18
with, men that I rolle with, that's what we do all day every
12:22
day. We're about that. We're about uh re educating men to understand what
12:26
manhood truly is. So that's what I feel is missing today. I'm here
12:31
in village, out of everything that village the old mother saying, you know
12:39
were And I remember back in the day and my dad had me and my
12:43
cousins. He would take my cousins to the bottle shop, but we wouldn't.
12:50
Me as the girl, I wouldn't sit in there. I would have
12:52
to go to an auntie's house because they were having these I mean, I
12:56
know my daddy wouldn't want me to hear these things that the male village.
13:03
So now I'm gonna ask you that question again what the male needing from us
13:11
as in? And I'm not even we can take the two ways. We
13:16
could talk mate wise and we could talk just women as general, because I
13:22
feel sometimes that we are an African American women and yes, people, I
13:24
do bring it back. I have to bring it back home because I can't
13:28
talk to nobody else. Okay me, We as African American women are to
13:33
me sometimes our male counterparts worst enemy. I really feel that way. We
13:45
don't let men feel comfortable enough to come to us when they need, when
13:50
they just want to talk. We have that moment to WUSA, but they
13:56
don't get that. I was looking at social media one day and I saw
14:00
this young lady, she's my age, and she just looked at the brother
14:03
coming in the store and she said, brother, smile, you're handsome,
14:07
You're beautiful. You know what. That man broke down and tears because he
14:11
said, I'm married my wife. Don't even say that to me. And
14:15
he said, you didn't come to me. Incorrect, you didn't come,
14:18
She said, Just you saying that to me, uplift me. So what
14:22
what are you? What are you lacking from your counterparts? Females? Males?
14:33
That line goes, wow, wow, I love your questions. These
14:39
are some These are some powerful, poignant questions. And I think that that
14:45
we as men, what we're missing from our female counterparts. One is that,
14:50
like you said, just a genuineness from from from them, but also
14:58
understanding we as men have understand where that comes from. It's not just why
15:03
why aren't you know? The question is why about the example you just gave,
15:07
Why wasn't that that man getting getting that affection and that and and just
15:13
that genuine appreciation from his wife. Why was that such a powerful message coming
15:22
from someone that he didn't even know, from from what you were saying.
15:26
He didn't even know her. If you just saw the looking in it,
15:30
it was like, yeah, he was caught off guard. And I understand
15:33
what she said it. But if he said it, he's like, my
15:37
wife doesn't even say that I appreciate you. And he started crying. I'm
15:41
like, wow, yeah, it really is. It's a genuine that what's
15:48
missing that, mister, piece is a genuine appreciation, a genuine acknowledgement of
15:56
I see you. I'm gonna give you an example. I had the I
15:58
had the honor and pleasure of going to Kenya last year and I went with
16:07
the team the Christian Business Owners Association. We went there, was a team
16:12
of seven of us and we went there for the CBO Summit to be able
16:18
to do the summit along with with teaching the UH, the entrepreneurs, the
16:26
the church leaders and other aspects of over there. But one of the one
16:32
of the sessions that I was imparted to lead was a session about the power
16:37
of a man. And so as as I was as we were talking and
16:42
we were over and I was over there, one of the gentlemen, he
16:47
says to me, he says, doctor Lee Roy. He says, we
16:52
were here, don't feel like our voice is being heard as men. And
16:59
it hit me like a ton of bricks because I knew that I felt that
17:02
here, and you know, I felt that here with us as black men
17:07
here. But to have someone that is that was miles away from where I
17:12
lived and in another part of the world saying the same thing that we were
17:18
feeling here, that that that were that we've seen were heard and were appreciated,
17:26
that was a powerful, powerful statement to me. So what we could
17:30
use from our counterparts is is let us know that we're seeing, let us
17:36
know that we're heard. Let us know that we are appreciated for the things
17:41
that we do. And we're not talking about the dudes that's not doing what
17:45
it's supposed to do. We're talking about those those men that are doing what
17:49
they're supposed to do. They get up every single day, they put their
17:52
they put their foot to the to the pedal, They work hard each and
17:56
every day to make sure that themselves, that their families, that they're that
18:02
their their friends are taking that are that are that are you know, appreciated,
18:06
they're shown, you know, affection and everything else. Those are the
18:11
guys that we're talking about that that we should that that we should let them
18:15
know. And that's all I asked the sisters to do. Let them know
18:18
that that they that you see them, that you hear them, and that
18:22
you appreciate them. And it'll that response that that man got from that young
18:27
lady, it will. It will take your relationship. I promise you,
18:33
ladies, if that's your husband, that's your boyfriend, if you do those
18:37
things, those three, those three little those three little things, he will
18:41
he will want to he will want to conquer the world for you. I
18:47
promise you. I promise you you will. Okay, So ladies, we
18:52
could do that tonight until midnight and then we will start back up Monday,
18:57
right exactly exactly. And then they got that absolutely it's more than just to
19:04
day though too. It's more than just the day. We should be appreciating
19:11
you all every day so that when mothers come, Mother's Day, yeah that's
19:15
a special day, but but that should be that should be a that should
19:18
be a thing that happens all throughout the year for both us men and us
19:22
as women. Because if you're doing that throughout the year, yeah, you
19:26
can take that special day, but it'll be like, yeah, he do
19:30
that all the time, you know, nothing new to hell. It make
19:34
me feel special like that, And ladies, you know, I'm clapping for
19:38
us, but then I also have to clap because that's correct. If we
19:41
do it every you might not be able to do it every day, but
19:45
at least you could say thank you at least once a day. That is
19:52
just common courtesy, ladies. So let me ask you a question. Well,
19:56
let me ask you a question. We interview with each other, so
19:59
let me keep on going. What is the biggest takeaway do you want someone
20:07
from your book? What's the biggest takeaway do you want someone to take the
20:14
biggest takeaway that I want. I'm gonna give you the biggest takeaway I want
20:18
for men, and I'm gonna give you the biggest takeaway that i want want
20:21
women to come away that read the book, because like I said, lady,
20:23
this is for you too. But the biggest takeaway that I want men
20:26
to have this from this book, and I said it to understand your power.
20:33
Understand that you are powerful as a man. And of course I'm gonna
20:37
say it like this. You are powerful as a black man. You have
20:41
the power within you, You have everything that you need to walk in the
20:45
power of a man. You just have to be willing to walk in that
20:52
power. And what the book will give you is in an un understanding,
20:56
hopefully as a man, how to walk in that power. So that's what
21:00
I want the men to come away with. What I want women, ladies,
21:03
what I want you or to come away with, is I want you
21:07
to understand the power of a man and when he walks in that power,
21:12
he is is walking in a true understanding of what it is to walk in
21:18
his manhood, to walk in his faith, his family's finances, in his
21:21
future, and what that does for you as a woman, and how you
21:26
will be treated when that man walks in his power into and to be able
21:32
to identify a man that is walking in his power. And when you do
21:37
that, it makes us as the community you talked about the village. It
21:41
makes us as a village so much strong. Is not one community that that
21:48
has at the man walking in his power. That is not a strong community,
21:55
I promise you. So that's what I want the men and the women
21:57
to walk away with from from the book. Wow, Wow, I mean
22:07
you you you said a whole wutiful So would you say this book is a
22:15
book that you can read together as a couple, Or do you say this
22:19
would be one that he would need to read or she would read to read
22:23
alone in practice? Or take take the nuggets that you have given and then
22:30
apply. Or is this something that you know a couple can read together and
22:34
find that understanding. No, I think it would be It would be wonderful
22:41
for them to read it together because his, his thing treats his What happens
22:45
when the man reads it, he becomes accountable for what he must do.
22:52
What the woman will get is what she can hold him accountable for what he
22:57
says he's supposed to become and to do. She can always say, uh,
23:03
you're not walking in that power or are you walking in that power?
23:07
As a man. So they begin to they begin to have a a better
23:11
understanding. And I think it's I think it's a great thing when when and
23:15
it makes for a stronger relationships when we understand ourselves first of all as men
23:21
and women, but then when our counterparts understand who we are as men,
23:26
and who we are as and who who you all are as women, Because
23:30
it gives us a different perspective, It gives us a different lens to be
23:34
able to look at things. We can't always just look at look at look
23:37
at life through our lens. We have to see it from our from our
23:41
counterparts vision. And and am I being you know, authentic to her?
23:47
Am I being from the man? Am I being authentic to her? For
23:51
women, you can say, am I being authentic to him? Because if
23:55
I understand him, if I understand her, then what I'm able to be
23:59
able to say? You know what? Yeah, I wasn't thinking about you
24:03
when when I said this, So I wasn't thinking about you when I did
24:06
this. I was only thinking about myself. And I have to be better
24:10
at doing that. So I think that's what I think. That's the benefit
24:12
of having both read it and have conversation about it and and have a dialogue
24:18
about it. What do you think about this? You know, what do
24:21
you think about what the book says about that? Do you think that's true?
24:25
Do you agree with that? Do you not agree with that? Benefit?
24:30
For both their own in house book clubs? See, that's what I'm
24:33
talking about. That's what we're talking about. So we had right, we
24:38
have faith family financing future. Which one is the easiest and which one is
24:47
the hardest. Oh, you did not go there? Man, Yes,
24:52
really, Oh my god? WHOA Which one is that it's the hardest,
25:00
don't know? For I would say future might be the hardest. Well,
25:08
no, I take that back. Finance, especially in the state that I
25:14
live in, would be the hardest. Hm, the easiest would be Oh,
25:26
faith, this kind of okay, you know what I give up?
25:30
Which one do you think let's do the easiest? Which one do you think
25:33
is the easiest? Yeah? What I think the I think the family would
25:38
be the easiest to me, I think. And the reason I say that
25:41
is because if you are if you as a man, understand your power that
25:47
you have within the family dynamic, I think, I think, and you
25:52
know your role in the family, I think it makes it easy for you
25:57
to operate in that. And especially if you're surrounded by people who understand within
26:03
your family, understand the family dynamic, and understand you, it's easier for
26:07
you, I think to walk in that the hardest. I will be honest
26:14
with you. I think the hardest is the faith because walking in your faith
26:21
it requires you to it requires you to have what I talked about earlier today,
26:27
it requires you to have a personal value system that you hold yourself accountable
26:33
to and it requires you to hold yourself accountable or as as they say,
26:38
but you know submit, you know, we know men like to use that
26:42
word for women and tell ya, but here it is understanding your power of
26:49
a man in your faith means you understand how to submit to your God,
26:55
to God and understand that you don't make decisions. You don't make any decisions
27:00
without consulting him. He takes what you do, how you do it,
27:06
where you do it, when you do it. Are you man enough?
27:10
Are you man enough to submit to God and to have someone show you tell
27:15
you what it is that you can do and use him to be able to
27:18
guide you in your life, in your with your family, in your because
27:23
everything else stems from that, in your family and your finances and in the
27:27
future, everything else stems from that. So that's the that's the hardest one
27:33
I believe, because it will test you, It will test you. You
27:37
can you're holding yourself accountable. I'm gonna give you my really quick seven principles
27:42
that I that I make my choices by and it live my life by.
27:45
And that's wisdom, wisdom, vision, are, uniqueness, commitment, consistency,
27:52
excellence, and accountability. Those are what God my faith, Those are
27:57
what God my decisions I make as a man, and understanding the power that
28:02
I have when I walk in those seven principles and walking that power in those
28:07
seven principles and in each of these aspects that i'll talk about here, in
28:11
your faith, in your family, and your finance, in your future.
28:15
Wow. Okay, okay, So what's chapter Am I gonna get all the
28:26
meeting I can deal with, I can deal with the dessert me in the
28:37
looking. I'm gonna love it. I love it. I love it.
28:42
Yeah. She's like, Hey, we don't need to go first. I'm
28:48
gonna I'm gonna give you this one. This is this, and then that's
28:52
I think. I think this this chapter that sets the stage. It sets
28:57
the stage for the for the entire book. To me. And when I
29:02
wrote it and I gave it the name, I was like, Oh,
29:04
it's gonna cause some it's gonna cause some controversy with with folks. And and
29:10
it's actually chapter two it's called why Men Don't go to Church? And so
29:19
I talk about what are the deterrence? What are the deterrence or why is
29:26
it that men say that they don't go to church. What's the excuse that
29:32
they use for not going to church or what's the reasoning that they have.
29:37
Well, what, I'll give you one of them. Yeah, one of
29:41
one of the one of the main reasons that men say that they don't go
29:45
to church because, like I talked about earlier about being seen, being heard,
29:51
and being respected, a lot of men feel that they don't go to
29:53
church because they aren't that the they aren't being seen or heard in church.
30:00
The sermons are for a gear towards the women of the church, not necessarily
30:06
the men of the church. It's not done in the language of men.
30:11
It's done in the language to appeal more to women than men. And that's
30:17
because the majority of churches have their population is what most of their congregation is.
30:26
You find, yeah, you find very few churches that have majority of
30:32
the church is men. Now you have you have some churches that have a
30:37
high percentage of men that go there, like my church. It was one
30:41
of the reasons that drew me to my church. And I'm talking my church
30:47
is probably about forty percent men. Out of that one hundred percent, that
30:52
means there's sixty percent of the members of the church of women so most a
30:59
lot of time when pastors. Now, my pastor is different because his emphasis
31:03
has always been the men of the church. He is adamant about making sure
31:11
that we understand who we are as men and taking our rightful place as men.
31:15
But a lot of other churches, a lot of churches, their sermons,
31:21
what they do, even the ministries and that they do is geared towards
31:26
the female congregation versus having things within the church that deal with men issues.
31:33
Most churches, a lot of churches don't have ministries that deal with the issues
31:37
that men deal with, at least not serious. Yeah. So I know
31:47
that this may upset some folks because I'm talking like this talking about the church,
31:51
but it's true if you delve into the reasons. So when you delve
31:55
into the reasons why men say this is men telling me telling us why why
32:00
why they don't go to church? Because we we don't feel like we're being
32:05
seen, we don't feel like we're being heard, we don't feel like we're
32:07
being respected in the church. And and so if why would I want to
32:15
be somewhere where I feel like I'm being sick, where I'm not being seen,
32:20
I'm not being heard, And the message isn't geared towards me. So
32:25
that's that's probably one of the biggest that that sets the tone for me,
32:30
set the tone for the rest of the chapters and the rest of understanding the
32:36
power of a man, because if you don't have that that that that foundation
32:42
of faith, you don't have something that you that you look to that's bigger
32:47
than you. And you think that you are your own god, you think
32:52
that you are the god of of women, you're the god of everything else.
32:57
When we're not Wow, So what would be what would you say to
33:06
the men, the young men of this generation that eighteen two, let's let's
33:15
broaden it, let's say eighteen to thirty. What would you say to them
33:21
if they were to come to you and ask you one great piece of advice?
33:24
What would you say to them? His? His? What I What
33:31
I tell them? I tell them? Understanding manhood is something that that takes
33:42
time. When the eighteen to thirty I was there, we think we know
33:46
everything. You think we got the answers to to everything. We think we're
33:51
invincible. We think that there's nothing that that uh, you know that that
33:55
can happen to us. But when you begin to think of yourself as a
34:04
as a eighteen to thirty five, eighteen to forty the younger, those young
34:07
adult years. Use those young adult years purposefully, use it fit to understand,
34:15
have your vision, to develop your vision, Know where it is that
34:20
you want to go to. If I'm talking to my eighteen twenty year old
34:24
self, develop your vision, you know, understand who it is that you're
34:31
surrounding yourself with. You know, I know you know. That's the age
34:36
where you're trying to figure things out. And that's true, where you're trying.
34:38
You want to party and have all of the fun and everything like that.
34:42
I'm not saying don't have fun, but you want to be mindful.
34:46
So that, as as Muhammad Ali said, if you if you, if
34:52
you spend from the age twenty to age forty and you haven't grown, you've
35:00
just wasted twenty years of your life. Don't waste twenty years of your life
35:06
and be purposeful, Be mindful, understand, figure out who it is that
35:10
you want to be and make the decisions that you make in your twenties.
35:17
In your thirties, make those decisions understanding who it is that you want to
35:24
become. And it takes discipline, that takes discipline, it takes commitment,
35:30
it takes consistency. It'll be one of the hardest things that you ever do
35:34
in your life. But if those that are successful men, those that are
35:40
men that walk in their power, they understand that, even even in their
35:46
twenties, even in their thirties, even in their forties, they have that
35:52
understanding. So I tell them, I tell them that regularly understand that power.
35:59
You have the power already, you just have to understand how to walk
36:01
in it and utilize the tools that you're gained in order to develop to walk
36:07
in So that would be my advice. Oh, I think you're mute because
36:21
I can't he my mic is doing something crazy. I said, that was
36:25
awesome. I have twenty one year old son and I tell them all the
36:30
time. I said, son, I know you want to become a man,
36:34
I said, but I need you to get a vision. I need
36:36
you to know exactly what you want to do, and then when you figure
36:38
ot what you want to do, find a way to execute it. So
36:45
okay, so all these nuggets, you already tell me which chapter to look
36:49
at in the book. You already told me which one was on. Now
36:53
you have to tell me how our readers and our listeners can follow you on

39:23
I think, ladies, just to be a great Father's Day gift, we
39:28
don't have to wait till the weekend. Yes, Father's Day is coming this
39:32

39:37
We're gonna do you and I'm gonna I'm purposely gonna do like a camp down
39:40
the Father's Day because like you mentioned, you know, Mother's Day. We
39:44
know you can't. You can't go to a restaurant on Mother's Day. You
39:46
are not finding a restaurant that you're not gonna have a wait for. Father
39:51
Day is another whole store. You can go to any restaurant you want to.
39:53
You and go to a restaurant. But but we want to make sure
39:58
that we acknowledge it, that that we that we let the fathers know that
40:01
we see them, we hear them, and that we appreciate them. We
40:05
want to let them know, Uh, Dad, we we see you,
40:07
we love you, we appreciate you, just as just as we're doing for
40:12
mother's on Mother's Day and all those things. Yeah, we we we've moved
40:15
beyond the ties y'all, well beyond the ties and the sweaters for for Father's
40:22
Day. But let's let's step the game up. But we're gonna get y'all.
40:25
Now. We can't give y'all no ties, no sweaters. I mean,
40:29
what were we supposed to get y'all? Now you can even he's he's
40:37
a great gift real quick. And I know we're talking about mothers. No
40:42
you give him it's it's a it's a it's a spot called uh, there's
40:46
something that that where they do it's like a man cave. But they can
40:50
go and they can get they can get like the they can get a haircut,
40:52
they can get a a manic curve by curve, they can get all
40:58
of they can get all of those things. But it's done in the in
41:00
the ambiyonce of like a man cave to have these things for for for men.
41:07
Should him do something like that, well, he can be pampered,
41:09
he can be taking he can be done that way. That's a great gift.
41:12
In addition to the book the man to the bookmen and say let him
41:17
let him go, get, let him go, get, get him go,
41:20
get get, get pampered for a day. Treat him, let him
41:23
get treated, you know, like the king that he is. So that's
41:28
a good idea. I never thought about pampering a man. And see I
41:34
