  Speaker 1: 25 years, 9-11. Try to think about where was we
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: at 25 years ago, you know, when this moment, this
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: tragedy went down, you know, like, can you remember where
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: you was at?
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was right in Lower East Side, Manhattan, right
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: when it happened. Yeah, man. I was like, what, five,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: six years old? The dust was everywhere. The clouds was
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: above the buildings, you know. My granny lived in the project.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: It was on the seventh floor, so. You just see
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the dust cloud. It's just, it look like it's about
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: to rain. It's just straight dust.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I feel you.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I feel you.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember getting out of school early that day.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Mom's coming to pick me up. She still had dust
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: in her head because she worked, you know, maybe less
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: than 10 blocks from the World Trade Center. She said
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: when the first building got hit, her building that she
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: was in, the windows, vibrated. know also just the impact
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: so crazy crazy day though but you know if i'm
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: more uh you know just honoring and remembering all the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: people and the lives that was lost on it on
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: that on that day you know it's just crazy tragedy
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: yeah to get get into things man you know we
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: got a lot of distractions that's been jumping off for
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: for the past week or so man and We're seeing
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: the newest one that jumped off. We're seeing iPhone. They
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: had their event.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Oh, my God, yeah.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: They was able to launch the.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: The Apple Summit was fun.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they was able to launch with the Apple 18,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the Apple 18 Pro.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: The iPhone Duo. They had the new AirPods that got
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the translation to them. They got the new Apple Watch.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: There's a lot going on.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I'm seeing that as a huge distraction. I
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: feel like this is something that Apple do pretty much
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: every year. They drop something. I feel like this time around,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: they're kind of changing it up. They're coming with something new.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, we're looking at a couple
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: other companies that did the foldable phone years ago.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: And it's like, Don't Google got a foldable phone? Yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Don't Samsung got a foldable phone?
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, Apple, they putting new different technologies. You
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: was telling me before the show started that they're putting
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: like a desktop chip into one of the devices.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they said they having a desktop class chip
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: that they're going to be putting right into the 18
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and 18 Pro. So, almost... You'll be able to almost
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: use your phone like a little laptop instead of just
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: a little phone. It's going to have desktop capabilities to
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: run higher AI models and stuff because, yeah, it's going down.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: They got enough. They have the technology.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: So depending on who you are, it could be a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: distraction or it could be a tool, you know, with
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the capabilities.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: With some other distractions we got going on for this week.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Right now, we got Australia moving into a crazy direction
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: where they're basically requiring the social medias to give users
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: a choice between algorithmic recommendation feeds and chronological feeds. So basically,
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: do you want to see the people you follow in
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: those feeds as they're posting them in real time? So
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: if someone posts three hours ago, you'll see it today
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: instead of next week or next Friday or tomorrow versus
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: do you want to always see the other people you
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: follow and just a random mix of videos based on
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: how you're feeling. Whenever they was posted, it could have
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: been two years ago, three years ago, just whatever the
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: feeling is. That's what Australia is basically making the social
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: platforms move at.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: So changing up the whole algorithm. pretty much more like
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: of a fair would you say that's pretty fair for
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: for the users and.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: I mean basically they asking you how would you like
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: your distraction because your algorithm is still based off what
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: you like whether it's chronological or it's algorithmic you feel
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: me challenge it depends on the user if you want
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: to see your local people choose that one if not
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: keep on being.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Distracted okay I'm seeing uh seen a distraction that I've
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: seen over the week. And we've seen that one of
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the correspondents, I believe, like BET, I'm not sure his name,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Mark something, I forgot his name. I didn't get his
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: full name. But he pretty much came out saying that
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: Fat Joe shouldn't be using the N-word.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Jeez, not Fat Joe. And the N-word, he got two.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And Everybody's entitled to their opinion, you feel me, on
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, you feel me? But I feel like
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: this has created an uproar from social media, from different celebrities,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: and people always want to chime in onto these unnecessary conversations.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And it's kind of like, is it really that serious
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: for him to be using the N-word and everybody saying
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: he shouldn't be just because he's from hip-hop and he's
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: from the culture, he shouldn't be using it.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying. I mean, my thing is, what's the,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: what changed to make people all be mad that he's
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: using it? He's been using it for years. Y'all should
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: have stopped him in the 90s.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: You feel me?
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: When he first came out, started making music and saying it,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: that's when y'all should have put a stop to it.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Especially the older generation, the people around his age. Us
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: younger people wasn't around yet to really enforce nothing. Y'all
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: should have enforced that. Now that's a problem because, what,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: he got a podcast now. He's saying it in front
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: of me. He's been saying it in the music. It's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: still media. It's different. It's just a different form of media.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: But now because he's able to talk and actually use
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: this in a conversation, it's different. Y'all got a picture.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: Pick one thing and apply the consequence for every time
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: it's used. Don't pick and choose when you want to
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: apply the consequence. I think that's really crazy.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And if you want to stretch and go that far
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and say like, oh, you know, we shouldn't be using
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the N-word, then it's like you got to apply that
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: to everything. All the way to movies, acting, all that.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I don't care if it's acting. You shouldn't be saying
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: the word period.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, at all. At all.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: You feel me? If you're not of... of a black descendant.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: That's what he's pretty much saying, right? But you want
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: to just point a finger at a fat Joe, you
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: feel me? I feel like it's something personal. It could
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: be something behind the media.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like, what's the requirements
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: for people to not say it? You know what I mean?
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Because if it's like, if you don't want them to
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: say it, you should have been enforced that. Now we
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: picking and choosing, oh, because you make money off it? No,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: you can't use that. You're going to use it if
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: you're not profiting off it. Like, what? No. Like, like, like.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Like you said, enforcing standards. Yeah. And this is how
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: big the distraction.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a huge one. That might be top two
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: for the week. I ain't going to hold you.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Because people could go hard and go hard for hours
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: and all types of viewpoints and focus points. This is.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Word.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I'm like, it's just a word. Like, I don't know. Like,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: so many different points.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: We got some more distractions in the.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Week, man. You know, and it's funny to go on into...
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: on into the next distraction. You know, rage is becoming
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: a business model. You know, so Vogue covered how rage
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: bait has become an intentional marketing technique. So going back
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: into like what you said with Fat Joe, how many other...
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: or news references or magazine articles or Facebook posts you've
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: seen that's been trying to get you to get rage
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: baited about some shit. Like, recently we've seen the shit
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: with Kanye West's daughter, Northwest. You feel me? That's a
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: big distraction going on right now. You know, but that
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: could be rage bait or something like that.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they like to post that and, you know, and
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: just put that into the media to just get people
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: into the comments and get people to voice their opinion
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: or get people to go on their own platforms and
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: their podcasts and be like, oh yeah, let me put
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: my two points in on this conversation. And it's just like,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: it's not worth it. We need to be collectively actually
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: putting our energy into something else instead of this distraction.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So watch out for all the rage bait and that
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: clickbait media. It's a lot of clickbait media out there.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: You feel me? It's a lot of clickbait media. Where
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: y'all put garbage out there. Where it's like, it's not
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: even entertainment. You know, it's just garbage.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Pure garbage. Yeah, yeah.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: So, more distractions. We've seen with the U.S. Open. We've
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: seen a lot of people, you know, I feel like
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: the U.S. Open with the tennis. A lot of people
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: starting to head out there and, you know, starting to
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: be at the game, the matches and whatnot. I've been
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: feeling like a lot of them be there pretty much
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: to show off that hey i'm at the u.s open
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: a lot of them i don't feel like they actually
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: there to watch the match you know watch the tennis
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: players actually compete and we started to get some feedback
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: from different tennis players from uh from the u.s open
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: pretty much giving a feedback about the influencers that have
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: been recently making a lot of noise you know and
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: influencers is pretty much getting paid by these brands and
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: stuff like that to go to the U.S. Open and
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: pretty much go there and do different challenges and stuff
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: like that. If you know a tennis match, a lot
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of times it's pretty quiet in there because you got
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: the tennis player trying to focus on the serve and
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: they're competing. If you got a lot of TikTok influencers
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: and stuff like that making noises, it's just kind of
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: like It's kind of just bleeding over into the sport
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: where it's just like, y'all just stepping on people's toes
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: right now as far as the whole game.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: And it's like- Like they become the distraction themselves. Yeah, exactly.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Distracting the tennis players from their sport. And that's messed up.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: And based on what you said, you're saying that they're
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: going there for the aesthetic.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Not to actually support- Yeah, if.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: You go on social media right now, you go open
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Instagram right now, you'll see- a lot of the celebrities,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: and you'd be like, I didn't even know you liked tennis.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: You know, like, when did... And I feel like if
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: a couple celebrities show up, like, you know... All the celebrities?
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Sort of like how with the Knicks final run was. Before,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: you know, it was this, like, celebrity row. You feel me?
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: So.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like a lot of that is just
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: clout or whatever. But, hey, let them enjoy and whatnot.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: But I feel like it's a distraction, you know?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely a distraction. Like, oh, man.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: And we, I know we kind of laid on this,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: but with the whole 49ers fake impersonating, what's his name,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Delonte Love.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: What?
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: So he pretty much was trying to act like a
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: 49ers football player. And pretty much he, He was going
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: to females and pretty much saying to them, hey, I
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: could be able to get you some money through this investment,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: you know, through this firm. And you give me some
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: money and I'll be able to get your money back
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: tenfold pretty much.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: And he wound up robbing these females.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Over one million dollars.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: Over one mil?
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: What? Yeah, he was living the luxury life. And not
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: only he wound up getting arrested, him and his, you know, co-defendant,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: they wound up getting arrested. And his co-defendant was pretty
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: much supposed to be his assistant, you know, or his
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: agent or whatever. But that's just for him. So now
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: we starting to see some more light come to everybody.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: And we starting to get a lot of different men
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: that are acting like athletes that are running this game.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: He is not the only one that has been running
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: this scam.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, so now that's the new trend. It's become a
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: pattern now.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we're seeing we got some guys acting like
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: basketball players. We got some other guys acting like football players.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: And they're pretty much running the same game that bro
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: is running. And I just feel like with everything in
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: social media right now, it's a huge distraction. And it
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: makes you feel like Something else is going on out
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: there where it's like, they got to keep us distracted
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: with this right now.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I feel like they'd be in the freaking corporate head
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: distraction office just cooking up distractions. Like, what's the next one?
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: What you got, Timothy? What you got, Harold? They're just
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: cooking up distractions. Like, yeah, make a fake person pretend
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to be in the sports and get these women. Yeah,
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: that'll make women hate men more. And then it's like,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: for the women who got skin, right? Let's do due diligence.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: You feel me? Like, go actually say what sports team
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: you looked up. Okay, look up the players of the
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: sports team. All that is public knowledge because the sports
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: team is a publicly traded company. You feel me? Like,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: these are companies you can look up the information and
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: look up the person's name. The person's name don't match. Cool,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: but because y'all be so thirsty to be with people
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: of status or whatever, this, that, third, you end up
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: getting scammed. It's not the first time. That just happened.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: He just did it a different way, method. Remember the
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Tinder dude? Oh, yeah. Yeah, who was scamming shorties and
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: things because they thought he had X amount. They thought
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: they was doing... Nah. Nope.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so... And I heard that, actually, one of the females,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: she wound up leaving her boyfriend, selling her house, and
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: giving him money for investment, you know?
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: And.
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I know that the ex-boyfriend that was dealing with her
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: is probably somewhere just shaking his head like, really? This
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: is what you fell for?
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: You see? Trying to chase something that wasn't even there.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Because you didn't do your due diligence. I'm not saying
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: that investments and stuff is bad, but you got to
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: do your due diligence. That's a super distraction. People could
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: talk about that all day.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Word. So the last distraction of the week, we got
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the baby. You know the baby, the rapper?
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Sheesh.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: He got a restaurant and he's selling some good soul food.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: You know that good southern food, but you can't knock.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? But he's starting to get
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: some feedback from different customers pretty much saying that You know,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: the food is overpriced. You feel me?
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: What?
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: And we're pretty much like, you know, $ 45, $ 40, $ 30
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: a plate. And people are complaining that it's overpriced. And
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I'm like, if you go to one of these other
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: upscale restaurants, you're not complaining. You're going to pay the price.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Pay the price, yes.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: You're going to tip the waiter, the waitress. And you're
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: going to go on with your date. But I feel
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: like whenever it's like people of our color... it tends
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: to get, like, frowned upon where it's like, oh, yeah,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: it should be cheaper or you should make it affordable.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: It's like, if you want affordable, then go to Chili's.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Go to Applebee's. This is of an upscale restaurant. You
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: feel me? With good quality food. If you don't want
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: to pay that price, feel free to go pay somewhere else.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: I feel like people just sometimes be talking because they
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: got a mouth. So, that's a huge distraction.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a huge distraction because it could break down
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: in so many ways. People will be arguing about supporting
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: black businesses or not. Other people are going to be
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: arguing from the point of view of their wallet. You
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: feel me? Well, I can't afford all that. I'm like, well,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: it's not about what you can afford. Some people can
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: afford this.
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: You know, so don't ruin it for other people because
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: you can't do this.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: Like, $ 45, that's To some people, that is dinner or
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: lunch money on a random Tuesday, you know? Like, some
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: people can actually do this. And you see, that's where
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: people will start getting the distraction.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the rage.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Divisiveness.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the rage bait, like you were saying.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Getting mad. I'm like, this is why. Look, it's called Dr.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Umar Ola. Word.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Those are our distractions of the week, man. You feel me? Like,
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: so there's a bunch out there. And just be aware.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: Be mindful. What you paying attention to on this social media, TV, wherever,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: you know?
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Try to take a social media break, you know? Try
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: to count how many times you pick up your phone
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: and be conscious about it. Like, dang, why am I
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: picking up my phone? To do what? Because of notification?
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: How many times do you pick up the phone and
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: just look and see it and then put it down?
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Wait for five, ten notifications, then pick it up.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Word. So, we getting into the group chat. So, let's
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: see who hit us up this week. So, We seeing
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: that Jay, Jay from Albany, he said, how do I
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: know when to leave a stale job that pays okay
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: for a new path that makes me happy?
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Wait, read that again? How do you leave a stale job?
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, how do you leave a stale job that pays
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: okay for a new path that makes me happy? That's
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: a fire question, Jay. So, uh, you gotta, one thing
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I can say is, you know, you gotta weigh the
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: pay cut against your happiness. Now, is this happiness bringing
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: some more money for you, or is this happiness gonna
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: be just pure pleasure? Now, cutting, just leaving your job,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: are you still gonna be able to pay your bills,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: you know? Are you still gonna be able to feed yourself?
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Are you gonna be able to still just be able
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: to put money to the side, or are you going
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: to be able to still invest while you are still
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: enjoying your happiness, you know? Or is this happiness something
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: that you can do maybe on the side while still
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: having your job, you know, doing something part-time after your job,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: like a day's work or your day's off? Can you
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: be able to find some time throughout your day to,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: you know, enjoy this happiness that you want to do
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: And then maybe slowly work along and save up and,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: you know, do the right investments over time. And then
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: maybe it could be a point in time where you
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: could be like, all right, I could do this full time,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: enjoy this happiness, whatever that is that you want to do.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: So we feel like anything.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, stack up your money for a year, budget what
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: your monthly expenses is going to be. And depending on
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: what this happy path is, like No Face said, find
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: a way to monetize it. But I'm saying give yourself
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: a full year, depending on how strong your desire urges it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's the universe telling you to act on it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: You don't want to miss out on an opportunity.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: That's a fact.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: So I say at least give yourself enough breathing room
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: to cover a couple months or a quarter worth of
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: survival expenses and go handle what you got to handle.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: I'm all for leaving a stale job.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Don't wait too late. You know what I mean?
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: Don't wait till you're looking back and you got regrets
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: and you're looking like, man, if I would have just
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: made this leap of faith into what I wanted to do,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: I could probably possibly be in a better position. So, yeah, Jay,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: don't do it the right way. Don't just leave the
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: job because you're like, Feel like you want to do this.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: Like I said, work your way. Save up. Get it right, man.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: For real. That's been the group chat for this week.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: That was the message we got this week from Jay.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Like we said, every week, we answering the questions. We
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: answering whether it's about life, money. We going to give
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: you our best advice off of experiences, what we know, research,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: things that we heard. Make sure you drop it in
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: the comments.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: That's a fact. It's time to get digital, guys. You know?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: Time for that good old talk. Which talk? It's the
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: AI talk. It's not a prompt, or is it? You know? So, listen.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Getting back into this content wave, you know, it's a
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: lot of People who have discovered that AI can, you know,
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: generate content and make videos and pictures and stuff like that.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: You know, a lot of people would like to share
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: their discoveries and their prompts with the world. But guess what?
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: It's too many people doing that at one time. You know,
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: AI is flooding the internet with content. And platforms are
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: now fighting back on multiple fronts. You know, so the
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: first thing I just want to let everyone know, AI
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: is good. But don't... This flood right now, it's a
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: study right now saying one in five YouTube shorts or
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: videos is AI-generated content. Not just... Not someone who took
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: the actual organic video and used AI to edit it
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: and top it up. No, that's okay. I'm talking about actual,
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: just pure AI content. It's just no... originality at all.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: It was just a pure prompt. One in five videos
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: That's kind of crazy.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: You know, and it's cooking our minds. It's cooking a
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: lot of people's minds, especially the youth. A lot of
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: kids' channels is all AI right now, and that's really
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: bad for the kids' minds and developments right now. So
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: a lot of platforms is trying to fight back. Earlier
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: I had mentioned the country of Australia, but not even Australia.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: We got Instagram, And YouTube talking about how they're cracking
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: down on these AI generated channels and stuff like that.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: People are getting banned. People are getting removed. Videos are
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: getting demonetized. This, that, and third. But also, they're encouraging
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: humans to actually make organic content. So a year ago,
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: people was in despair. Oh, AI is taking over. Everyone's
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: posting all this stuff. This, that, and third. Why are
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: you using AI? But guess what? The platforms, listen, they
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: heard the plight of the people. They're cracking down on it.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: But now, what are the people going to do with
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: this newfound knowledge? Are they going to actually use it
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: and create and take over the space that the platforms
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: is creating for them, for the humans, the organic people?
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Or are they going to still be consumers and be distracted?
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Are they going to be part of the distraction? Or
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: are they going to get distraction? You know? The real
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: skill in 2026 is it's not avoiding AI. It's knowing
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: what's worth your attention and what's the noise, you know?
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: What's one thing AI has helped you with this past year? So, AI.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: So, AI has definitely helped me out with as far
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: as structuring my... pretty much my process of, like, how
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I post and my scheduling of my posting. And I
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: could do that with a touch of a button, you know,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: just pretty much putting a prompt and saying, hey, I
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: want to, I want this video or this post to
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: get uploaded at this time, at this particular platform with
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: these type of hashtags, with this type of caption. And
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: it would give that all to me with, just in
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: one touch. And when me doing that on an automated
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: level makes it even more powerful because now I can
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: just step away and just check in every once a
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: week to see, oh, all right, how's the post coming?
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Need anything else? Need some new videos? That's just kind of,
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: that's just mind-blowing when you think about the technology. I
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: got an agent pretty much that could just pretty much
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: just handle. Yeah, assistant pretty much that could just handle
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: some business for me without me even have to acknowledge
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: even days at a time, you know?
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: So would you say that it saves, helps save you time? Yeah.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: You know, and how much time would you say it
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: helps you save prior to having to single-handedly prep and
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: prompt each and every post? Even with the schedule prompt,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: even with the schedule feature like Instagram or Facebook, you know,
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: you still got to sit there and pamper and doctor
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: each individual post before you put into the schedule and stuff.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: How much time would you say it has saved you
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: to work on other things? Do you feel like you've
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: been able to use that extra time wisely since you
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: don't have to use it directly doctoring the post?
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely. So instead of me having to go
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: make these posts and all of that, I could go
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: use that time to go Either write a script or
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: come up with a new skit idea or just come
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: up with something else. Or I could just go to
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: work or I could go to sleep or play the game.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: I could do a couple things in that matter of
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: time of it just uploading up on the platform just
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: by a prompt. I feel like that's pretty cool with
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: the AI, how far it's come. Just in a matter
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: of a couple years, what you're able to do and
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: what you're able to apply with your life.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: And the thing is, if you're building something or anything,
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: how many times in the past, or you've been chilling
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: with your friends, you've been chilling with family, and someone
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: has an idea for an amazing episode, and something's like, dang,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: how can I make that? How can I turn that
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: into something? Y'all got an amazing idea for a website.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Y'all got an amazing idea for a product. This is
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: the time to take that real creativity and really turn
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: it into something. You can really build a real personal
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: brand by training, certain AI agents to understand your brand.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: Every time you ask them something, they're going to re-bring
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: it back to your brand. You give them the logo,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: they're going to make different commercial plays, different marketing plays
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: to help you out. This is a different type of
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: AI-generated content. This is content. This is not even content.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: This is AI-generated workforce. This is a difference between a
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: chatbot and an agent. No, chatbots is what you just
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: ask the question, hey, is it going to rain today?
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: Or what's the name of that rare kangaroo species in Australia?
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: How many kangaroo? That's the chatbot. The agent is, hey,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: I need you to go through my emails and find
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: the most important emails that you feel like I need
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: to respond to urgently. I need you to look up
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: different vendor events in the area so I could go
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: sell my artwork every day and let me know what
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: the difference vendor events that's coming up. Today, that just
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: popped up. Anything that's happening that you need this agent
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: to do, it can do that. That's the distinct difference.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: The chatbot is there to answer questions. The agents actually
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: handle tasks and get you real-world results. Like I said,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: the key takeaway is that AI is a tool. It
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: can build you up or waste your time. Use it
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: with intention. Your creative fingerprint is now your biggest asset.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: Not just your brand. It's your It's algorithmic proof. Like
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: I said, they're cracking down on the AI. So if
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: you're going to use your authentic, genuine, organic, human fingerprint footprint,
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: that's your biggest advantage. That's how you can beat out
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: everybody else. You got to use the AI to help
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: build the brain. You got to do your research. This
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: is AI talk. Let's bring it back to life.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, people. lifestyle and depth you know and today
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: we're going to be getting into you know pretty much
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: finding your passion you know and I kind of think
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: it's kind of cliche to say finding I feel like
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: it's something that you got to identify something you got
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: to build so it's kind of a plethora of just
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: getting to the passion you know and getting that thrill
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: and I got a quick question pretty much for you
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: so if I was to ask you what's your passion
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Can you confidently, you know, answer that question and tell
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: me what your passion is, what you're passionate about?
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: Art.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: All right. Now, a lot of people will be pretty
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: much at awe when I ask them that question. You know,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: pretty much, like, they won't be able to identify with
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: just one thing. And that would be no problem as well.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: You know, I feel like having a passion, it could...
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: It don't have to be a singular thing, you know,
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: that you're passionate about. You can be passionate about multiple
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: things and sometimes it can shift in priority and pretty
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: much you might have more favor into one thing at
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: one particular time or you might find yourself in different
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: phases of being on to the other thing. It's pretty
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: much just a repetition thing, you know. But to get
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: into things, you know, passion, It isn't built, you know.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: I mean, passion isn't discovered. It's built through repetition and
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: small wins. You know, skills come before the passion and
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: not after. And so it's something that you got to
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: pretty much see yourself doing over and over at a
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: repeated state and then still having that enthusiasm about it,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: still feeling good about when you do that thing. It's like,
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: you know, I feel good when I do that. If
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: it doesn't feel like work and you enjoy doing what
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: you do, that's probably a passionate thing that you got,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: you know, and you want to be able to focus
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: in on that and be able to look at that. Like,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: you know what? Can I monetize this, you know? Can
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I utilize this in a certain way that would be
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: real meaningful for my life? So just be mindful for that. Now,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: what is it? At about the age of 10, you know,
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: what were some things that somebody told you that, you know,
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: that you loved doing that wasn't practical, like, in today's world? Like,
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: something that you liked doing?
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, I wanted to be a scientist at the
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: age of 10. And something... What was your question again?
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: So, like, what did you love at the age of 10?
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: Before anyone told you. Like it wasn't practical. Like something
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: you loved around the age 10.
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: That you loved. I loved science. I wanted to be
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: a scientist. Before anyone told me. It wasn't practical. Because
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: you know. We find out along the way. That certain professions.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: Take X amount of. Experience. And knowledge. And expertise. And
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: stuff like that.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: Actually, that question, I pretty much was just trying to
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: find where you're limited. Because I feel like a lot
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: of people, they get limited by the people that they
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: were raised by, the people that they were around. And
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: sometimes those passions could be pushed into a closet and
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: won't be identified until later on in life. Yeah. And
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: it's a good chance that you could be that scientist,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: you know. You could be the guy that's building a
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: spaceship right now, you know. But it's like with certain circumstances, environments,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: certain passions could be, that flame could be, you know,
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: put cooled out. So these are things that you want
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: to just be mindful of, you know. Like think about
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: things from when you was younger, you know, that you
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: had a real liking of, you know. Because when you're
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: a kid, you pretty much, you know, you're free. You
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? You got a free thinking. You
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: know a lot of things you're inexperienced, but you have
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: just like a calm liking or attracted to certain things.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: And those might be a little key indication that those
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: might be a couple of your passions that you might do.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: You see the kid that was playing in the dirt
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: and all that.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: That kid might be the gardener, you know. You know,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: so it be certain things where it just match up.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: So the passion be within sometimes, you know. The passion
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: sometimes be your identity of who you are. Right. Where
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: it's just like maybe you haven't applied it to your
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: life around you.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Like you said, just got to get nurtured.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. But we all got the potential now. Do
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: you ever find yourself, like, what kind of rabbit holes
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: do you find yourself going down? Like, whether if you're
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: on your phone or, you know, maybe YouTube or something.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Is there any certain rabbit holes?
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: Sometimes I'll just be scrolling on, like, Instagram or something.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: And then there'll be, like, one interesting video. And I'll
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: go to YouTube and I'll start searching it in and
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: see what's happening with it. I did that earlier today.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: I forgot what was the topic. But it was... I
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: think it was, like, somebody getting... It was one of them, like,
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: true crime story situations, you know? So I'll be finding
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: myself going down those rabbit holes trying to figure out
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: what was the motive. Like, what happened? Like, why is
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: this person going crazy? But it's like, I find myself
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: in those more often than not. So.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: There'll be a lot of times with these rabbit holes
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: that we find ourselves invested into that sometimes there's like
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: an underlying truth between that, you know, these rabbit holes
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: that we jump and then we can spend hours in
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: that rabbit hole of just looking to get some information,
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: more information about whatever we're looking at, you know. And me,
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: I'm big on like, we was talking about it earlier,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: you know, with the aliens and you know, the life
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: before us type stuff, you know what I mean? And
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I could jump in that rabbit hole and be there
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: for hours to the point where I'm like, oh, I
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: got to go to sleep.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: And sometimes those could be certain passions that you just
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: didn't unlock where it'd be like, I got a passion
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: for aliens. Like, I'm not saying I should be the
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: guy that's going to go do pretty much like go
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: look for aliens or go to Area 51 and start doing,
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: you know, content. But it's like that potential is there.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: It's there if I have the liking. Because if I
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: was to go jump in that field, there might be
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: times where, you know, I'm out of my comfort zone
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: on certain things. But I will have a liking for
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: it because it's like, I want to know more. You
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: feel me? Like, I want to know more. So it's like,
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: it don't feel like work. You feel me? Because it's
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: something that I'm enjoying.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: You wouldn't be scared though?
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: That's the thing. It might, like I said, I'm going
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: to be a little bit out of my comfort zone
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: a couple times. But it's like.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: But after the third alien, you'll be out of it. Yeah.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: But yeah. So you got to embrace the journey, y'all.
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: Embrace that journey. And on finding your identity, on what
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: your passion is, for real. And, you know, your passion
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: evolves over time through hard work, daily practice, and it
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: doesn't appear, you know, formed right away. You know, it's
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: not going to look like, oh, yeah, I got this
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: thing down pat. You got to really put some work in.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: You know, you got to really harness that passion that
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: you got and really wear it on your sleeve and
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: really lock in. Like, you know what? This is what
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: I do. I can say one of my passions is
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: this media. This is something that I can say I've
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: been doing for the past couple years. And it's like
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: I have the proof to show myself that, yo, this
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: is passion, you know?
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: That's a fact.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: And your passion isn't always singular, you know? Sometimes some
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: people got several, you know? Some people got multiple callings,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: you know? And you can have multiple passions, like I
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: was saying earlier. And it doesn't have to be monetized
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: to count. you know, I know that me and Shoot,
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: we huge on the, you know, if it's a passion
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: or a purpose, you know, try to find a way
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: to monetize it, but sometimes it don't gotta be monetized,
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: sometimes it can fulfill something purposeful for you and your life,
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: you know, and like I said, it shifts over time,
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: and that's a normal thing, don't think of that being
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: like a red flag, like, man, like, I'm not really
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: into this no more, you know, I'm kind of, liking
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: this thing over here a little bit more and I'm
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: kind of leaning this way now, don't feel bad about
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: yourself that you left this thing to the side. But
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: just be very sure when you leave this to the
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: side that you're going to take the next thing very
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: serious and you're not about to just keep jumping all
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: over the place. Now, that's the right flag for you.
