  Speaker 1: One of the greatest things about podcasting is having the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: opportunity to take it anywhere people are. One of my
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: favorite things to do is missed opportunity. You know of
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: all of the conversations that I share on a daily basis,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: but what you don't know about are those that I
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: have missed. Have I given up?
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: No.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: In fact, eight different times I have set the questions
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: free on a social media network. They've answered the questions
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: and sent them back. It's missed opportunity. It happens all
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the time. No need to get rushed up. All you
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: got to do is just take it one step at
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: a time to get to the core of the real story.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Missed opportunity only on Erro dot net, Arrie dot net.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Hey, zerol, And this is vocal d frag. Vocal d
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: fragging is asking yourself the questions and questioning the answers
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: as having that truth and that honest approach to developing
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: a stronger relationship with the person that you are. So
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: many people, especially my sister, she was very guilty of this.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: She didn't want to be who she was, so therefore
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: she would create other angles to put herself into and
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: then adopt that position of usually just being an activator,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: a voice, somebody who would call your ass out in
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: a heartbeat. I loved her for it. She drove me insane,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: but I loved her for it. And we used to
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: sit there all the time and say, well, that's just
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: part of being a Bacan. That's who we were when
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: we were born. We were Bowcans, and so that attitude
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: really is kind of kept with us. It doesn't matter
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: how many times you change your name, or how you're adopted,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: or what you're going to be doing through your chapters.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: The fact of the matter is you're still born the
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: name that you were when you were given birth. This
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: is vocal Bee Frank, asking the questions, questioning the answers. Now,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: I don't know where you are in history right now
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: when you get this, but today, in my present place
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of right now, this nation is celebrating this two hundred
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: and fiftieth an of giversary of the Declaration of Independence
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the United States of America. I was a fourteen year
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: old kid when we celebrated the two hundredth anniversary in
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventy six, and I think one of the greatest
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: things that I've had to do over the past. You know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I would say probably about two or three months is
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: the fact to find out how right am I with
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the stories that I've been sharing about the things that
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: we experience. Do you understand what I'm talking about here?
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: There are many times, and I do set myself up
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: for this many many times about listening to other people's
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: personal experiences as they go through life. They're not physically
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: keeping a journal or writing a story down, but they're
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: going through life and they love sharing the stories. It
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: can be a boating story, it can be a trip
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: out of the country, it can be just with family members.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: But my question has always been how much of your
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: story is authentic? Oh? Oh, that's a good question. Now
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: we have to question the answer, how much of your
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: story is authentic? You know, since we've gone into this
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: period of getting ready to celebrate the two hundred and
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the thing is
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I always said, and I continue to say, I was
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: lucky enough to experience what was called the Freedom Train,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty eight stops across this nation that
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: stretched between nineteen seventy five and nineteen seventy six. I
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: really want to put the stress on the nineteen seventy
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: five because every story that I have been sharing on
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: this two hundred and fiftith anniversary the Declaration of Independence,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I've been saying I went on the freedom train in
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: nineteen seventy six. The research is calling me out. It's say, no,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you did not, it was October of nineteen seventy five. Well,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: that's just screwing up my head because I have convinced myself.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: So therefore, I've got to ask the question, how authentic
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: are you with your stories? And maybe that's the reason
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: why I keep a daily journal, because into those pages
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: the life goes. But even then as a defragger or
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: as a journal writer daily journal writer, because I've been
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: doing that since July of nineteen ninety four, how much
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: of what I even put in ink on that page
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: is the authentic story? Oh my god? And then I
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: turn it to you and I do wonder inside out,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: over the top, through the middle, underneath it, whatever it is,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: what have you been sharing that makes you look cool?
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Or maybe we need to show some empathy and compassion
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: for you. And what's happened is is that you authentic
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: story is bent? Oh come on, now seems like a negative, right,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: But it's not a negative because when you start leading
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: a life of authenticity and transparency. The wake up call
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: here is is that the people that have this image
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: of who they think you are has nothing to do
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: with who you are. That is a hard thing to digest.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: And I think the reason why people have a tough
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: time hanging out with me because I'm gonna research your ass.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: You're gonna tell me a story and before I can
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: buy into it, I'm just gonna research you. It's who
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: I am as a broadcaster of forty six years. There's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: a reason why it's gonna grow well beyond fifty years
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: because I asked the questions, I question the answers. It's
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: not a job to me, it is a lifestyle. Now
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that right there, that is authentic conversation. I could have
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: easily said, man, I just like sharing the stories of people.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I realize I can get it wrong here and there,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: but I'm not gonna say it's wrong, because look, man,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: if you weren't there, you have to buy into the story.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna call bullshit on that. You don't have to
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: buy into my stories ever at all. And that was
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the wake up call today when I did the research
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: on the Freedom Train and I had the wrong year.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Oh it made me think, what else am I bending
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: the story? Sure the experience is there, but we can't
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: be talking about dates. We can't be talking about the
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: real experience of what it was like. We only tend
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: to share the stories that we personally accept. Who ask
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: yourself the questions, question the answers, and don't be running
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: off to somebody in your family to ask them about
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: family history because you know what, it's their interpretation and
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: not your authenticity. As spoke Leafer, I got marrow
