  Speaker 1: sure you have people say to you, hey, Dr. Tina,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: good to see you over there on IG. Chris wrote
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: a book.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: You know, I think, you know, Chris, you know, you
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: are known to be a person of very few words. Very,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: very few words. What has been the response when you
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: tell people that you wrote a book?
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Uh, just that, huh?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: You?
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: And then, but it's that, then it's like, then it's excitement. Like, Oh,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I wonder what he put in there, what he said,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: you know, what's going on. Cause he's so quiet.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: So Chris, why did you think this was the time?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Why did you want to be able to take people
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: into a bit of your story and also your growth?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Um, well, my wife had a lot to do with it. Um,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: sitting back and her writing her book and, And her
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: explaining to me, well, you know, you have a story, too.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: You know, when we sit there and talk about our
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: past and how far we came.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: And so it was a lot on her. And I
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: sat there and thought about it. And I was like, OK, yeah. Yeah.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Well, I have to say it was great being able
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: to work with you on this. And as I mentioned
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: with the paperback edition and also with the updates that
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: will be on the Kindle side, you're going to be
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: including pictures in this as well. But, you know, I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: think the interesting thing, Chris, about your journey is a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: lot of a lot of it, because I didn't know
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: your story until we started working together on the book,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: is that you've had a lot of travel in your
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: in your life from New York.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: You know, Atlanta, you know, of course. Then, of course, Alabama,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you know, Atlanta. What was that like for you to
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: think about how. not only you have grown, but the
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: different places where different events happen in your life.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, they've, they've grown and changed every place.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Um, cause you know, I've, I've been back to all
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: those places and each time, like there's been a geographical change,
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: like everything's gotten bigger or more, more buildings and.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Stuff like that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's almost like, it feels like I got,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: let me say this right. Like, It got bigger, so
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: it felt like I got smaller. Everything else got big.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Or is it the other way around? I think it's small.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Might be smaller.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Because I was smaller, so everything else got smaller.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Because I got bigger. Got it. Well, Chris, I think
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: one of the interesting things about Basement Dreams, and we're
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: going to talk to our audience about where the title
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: comes from, is that one thing that I think people
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: may be surprised about that they'll read about in the book, um,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: is your, the way you look at yourself. I mean,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you haven't always had the highest regard for yourself, you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and what was that like for you for one thing
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to reflect on, but then to be able to share
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: that and talk about it in the book.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Um, it felt, uh, it was like a weightlifting once
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I was able to talk about it and, and sit
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: back and thought about the things that, uh, how I
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: felt and what I've been through and how I looked
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: at things. Um, I've, I feel I've gotten way stronger.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Like everything happens for a reason. I think, uh, the
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: process that I went through made me stronger for today.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Well, I think it's great. And it's so interesting that
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: now it seems like writing is, you know, just a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: part of your family because not only did you have,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: did you have Kate, Of course, he was also an author.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: You have your own mother. So what was your mom's
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: response to you saying, Mom, I'm going to write a book?
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: She was happy. Oh, wow.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Is that something she always thought you'd do?
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: No.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: No, no, no. Okay.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: No, no, no. Not at all. Because, you know, me,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I'm to myself, for the most part, say little but
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: say a lot.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: And.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: I think she was just excited to see and hear
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: what I had to say.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Right. You know, in my travels.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: So the title of the book is Basement Dreams. Talk
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: to us about the title and what it was like
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: for you to reflect on that title.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Well, a lot of people know me as being in
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: my grandmother's basement. It was like my fortress of solitude.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: And a lot of thoughts and And reflections went on
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: down there. And a lot of people, like, if they
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: was looking for me, that's where they would find me,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: in the basement.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Whether it be watching a movie or playing a video
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: game or down there asleep. That was my place.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Where you are today, Chris, is this where you saw yourself?
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Is this what you thought would be possible for you?
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: No. But it was something.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: That I've wanted when I was younger, you know, a
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: family and a house working on a white picket fence.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Right. Yeah.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: But I never, never thought it would happen. But it
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: was something that I always aimed and wanted.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: You know. You know, in her book, B2B on the Tears,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: your wife, Kate, she talks about your journey together, the
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: things you all have been through. Um, you don't talk
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: as much about that in, in your book, but what
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: was it like for you to be able to give
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: your thoughts? I mean, she was able to write her
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: thoughts about different things you've gone through, but what was
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: it like for you to kind of think about experiences
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: in your life that have shaped you and to be
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: able to share those in your book?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Um, it felt good. It felt good.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: And, um, you know, going down memory lane, there was
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: some parts that I made it through that, um, I
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: didn't think I, um, would make it through and, uh,
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: reflecting on it, you know, talking about it, did bring
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: up some old memories where, you know, it hurt like
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: a lot of loss.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: But, um, like, you know, there was some, uh, things that, uh,
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: talking about, uh, reminded me of, you know, what I
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: lost and some things like I forgot.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think writing head is one of those interesting
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: things that can be kind of therapeutic in one sense. Um,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: you know, and being able to help you, To flesh
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: things out. But also, like you said, you're bringing it back.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: And it does kind of add sometimes things that you
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: didn't even realize, you know, were there. What was one
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: of the most difficult things that you that you revisited
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: for the book?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: The loss of even now, my brothers, Jimmy and Kato.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And I think this is something that is so important, though, Chris,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I'm so glad you included it. In fact, I should
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: let our audience know, Chris reached out to me after
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: we were first working on the release. After it was
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: out on Amazon, the Kindle, he's like, you know, I
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: want to talk about this. I want to make sure
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: that we get this in here. And it was, you know,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: even during that time, Chris, I know it was difficult
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: for you to be able to talk about, but do
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you find that's part of, I know it's part of
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: keeping their memory alive, but is it also... part of
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: your healing, you think, being able to talk about them.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's it's.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I don't know, like, to me, it's very therapeutic, and
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: to me, it's just good memories. Yeah.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Jennifer says, love you, Chris. And definitely, you know,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I think having that support system is such a big thing.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I want to say, for those who are just tuning in, welcome.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: You're watching Cyrus where it presents. We're excited to welcome
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: back author and speaker media personality, Christopher Thurman to our
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: broadcast today. You guys know him as a cohost of
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: graceful gatherings with the Thurman's with his wife. I just
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: saw another episode of that was posted on social media.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: He's also a speaker. He has a nonprofit that his
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: wife and him are the founders of, but also he's
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: the author of the new book, the Kendall edition of,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: is out now. The print edition is coming soon called
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Basement Dreams. And as we're just now coming in, you
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: know that the book as of today is an Amazon bestseller.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: What is that like to think about, Chris, that this
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: story that you share that's so personal that one, people
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: are reading it, but also that you now are an
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Amazon bestseller?
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: That feels great. I'm ready for another book now.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: What? What? Oh, Oh, okay. Uh, I, Kate put the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: voice note down where there's no other book. I don't
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: want to hear a message about it. It was a joke.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: He was joking, but, but I mean, but, but what was,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: do you feel like the process was something, I mean,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: cause again, you saw Kate go through it. The process
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: was something that made you, uh, want to be an
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: experience that again. Yeah.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: It's, um, I wouldn't mind it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. Well, I tell you, that's the big thing. Now,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: there's another thing I want to talk to you about
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that is in the book, but I think also is
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: a great reminder for us. And that is, you know,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: about change. Right. I mean, you have gone through changes
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: in your life. You know, people around you have gone
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: through changes. As you mentioned, the places you're used to
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: going to have gone through changes. What has it been
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: like for you to look in the mirror today, Chris,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and think about the Chris Thurman you used to be?
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I think I'm proud of where I'm at.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: I haven't changed that much, like a little hair here.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: My mom says I have a baby face. But, yeah,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: I feel proud, and I wouldn't change anything. All the
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: experiences that I have gone through made who I am today.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: I'm proud of who I am.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I'm able to take care of my family and friends
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: and help people when I can. A lot of that
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: has to do with my upbringing and the things that
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: I've gone through, the things that I've seen, the things
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: that I made it out of.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: What was it about your upbringing that helped Caden you
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: to start the nonprofit Angelically Blessed? What was it that
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: you saw that made this something that was something that
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: you all were doing even before you had the nonprofit?
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Our audience should know. But why was that so important
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: for you to make sure you were able to get
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: back to other people?
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Because it's just a great feeling to be able to
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: help people. And I was blessed to find a wife
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: who has a heart like mine. And, you know, us
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: getting together and helping people is just a great feeling.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I got another Chris in the chat. Hey, Chris Irwin,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: good to be to see you. Chris says changes would
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: be a good book title. Yeah. Changes is that. And
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: you know what? Yeah. Chris changes, but also acceptance. Right. Um,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: because unfortunately there's some things in life we can't change. Right.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: With some things we have to accept, whether it is
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: dealing with loss or dealing with different things. Um, what
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: has that been like for you to help other people
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: understand the importance of not judging themselves by what they
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: used to do or who they used to be?
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Um, it's, uh, I don't know. Wait, what was the question?
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. What has it been like for you based
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: on your own experience to let other people know that
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: they shouldn't judge themselves based on what they used to
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: do or who they used to be?
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Well, and, and, and helping people like that and, uh,
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: or having talks with people that, and, seeing like a
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: light bulb wall where they, and telling them that, you know,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: you don't let the, uh, your past define you. And yeah, we,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: you know, know that, that, uh, you can change and,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: and don't let one mistake end you.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Uh, seeing them like there once, once it, once it clicks, like, well, yeah,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: I can do this.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: I can do that.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: Seeing that change in them is, is just great. You know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: being able to do that and, help them with that.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Have you found they've been surprised to think about some
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: of the things that you've done, uh, and the changes
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: you've made?
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Um, that for some, yes.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: Cause some, you know, some people, uh, they don't, when
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: they see me now, they don't, you know, they don't
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: see like, what you use, use that.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So it was like, so some people don't, you know, they,
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: they don't know.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: But in talking to him, the look of like, wow, okay,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: he did all that. They'll ask me like, wow, okay,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: you was able to do that? You used to do that?
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: And like, yeah. And here I am, you know, but God.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, if y'all read the book, you'll know. I mean,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: so that's the thing. And that is the cool thing
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: about you sharing the story again, Chris, which, you know, again,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: it is... it reminds people of what they can do,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: but also how, even when it comes to loss or
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: changes that may happen, um, how there's still hope. And
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: I think that's the thing. So when people read, uh,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: basement dreams, Chris, what do you want them to think
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: about when it comes to themselves and their own purpose?
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: Um, well, for one that you're not alone, God is
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: always there. Uh, he's, uh, there even when, when you
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: don't think he is. And that nobody's perfect. Everybody makes mistakes. So,
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: you know, you're not alone in that because nobody is perfect.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: So you should be able.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: To, in reading it, know that you're not alone and
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: you can come back from just about anything, especially when
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: you have God in your corner and he is always
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: in your corner.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah. uh, exclusively go hello to you over there on
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: IG new page. Hello to you over there on IG as,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: as well. Uh, Jennifer says with God, all things are possible.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: And I think that is, is definitely true. Are you
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: at a point, um, Chris now looking back and thinking about,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: especially now this year, writing your first book and now
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: being able to have interviews like this and that you've
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: been doing other interviews as well, talking about it. Are
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you at a place where you can look at yourself
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: and say that you're proud of you? Yes. Yes.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Uh, like, um, It's one of those things where yes
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: and no. I want to keep that little edge to
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: where I'm not comfortable.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: It's a little self-discipline to where I'm not comfortable and
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: not doing anything.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: It's like, nah, you can do better. It keeps me
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: going forward.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I think that's a great thing for all of us
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: to be able to have that thing where we never
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: feel like we've made it. There's always more that we
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: can be able to do. Again, everyone, Christopher Thurman, Amazon
