- 1:08Speaker 1: of fashion can be broken to the point that it
- 1:13Speaker 1: can't be something new from it. Let me give you
- 1:18Speaker 1: an example of that. It would be like a tree right,
- 1:23Speaker 1: do you know how many trees get cut down? But
- 1:25Speaker 1: the one thing that does not get cut down is
- 1:27Speaker 1: the root and it isn't until that route gets cut
- 1:32Speaker 1: that's when it's truly gone. Well as what that is
- 1:37Speaker 1: also you as well. Okay, And if anybody wants to

- 2:22Speaker 1: is no particular topic. This is just a self discovery,
- 2:29Speaker 1: no particular title, just my experience. Okay. I was going
- 2:34Speaker 1: to the Margarita Ville sc for seven days and I
- 2:40Speaker 1: went from Friday to Friday, so it's actually eight days,
- 2:42Speaker 1: seven nights, eight days. So when I got on the boat.
- 2:47Speaker 1: It was nothing that I even anticipated because I heard
- 2:53Speaker 1: a lot of things about Marguerite Deville at c But
- 2:57Speaker 1: I'm somebody that for the most part, I will go
- 3:00Speaker 1: on for my own experience. Plus I'm becoming a trial agent,
- 3:05Speaker 1: so I really wanted to see for myself what the
- 3:10Speaker 1: boat was like. When I got on there, the boat
- 3:13Speaker 1: was beautiful. Embartation was not difficult. As a matter of fact,
- 3:20Speaker 1: I got there by almost one point thirty and I
- 3:23Speaker 1: was supposed to be in at one and they give
- 3:26Speaker 1: you your keys right then and right there, so I
- 3:31Speaker 1: didn't have to worry about waiting to go to the
- 3:34Speaker 1: door to get my keys. It didn't take them long
- 3:38Speaker 1: to bring my bags. By the time I came back
- 3:42Speaker 1: from putting my book bag in my room and taking
- 3:47Speaker 1: that stuff out. By the time I came back from
- 3:50Speaker 1: touring the whole entire you know, third, second and third floor,
- 3:55Speaker 1: my bags were there. The rooms had plenty of and
- 4:01Speaker 1: even though that boat was from another boat originally, they
- 4:05Speaker 1: did a phenomenal job on their boat. The entertainment was
- 4:10Speaker 1: pretty good. I don't have really any complaints, but that boat,
- 4:17Speaker 1: that cruise ship, the Islander, was a very pleasant surprise.
- 4:21Speaker 1: For me, I didn't have any motion sickness in God.
- 4:25Speaker 1: For that, I didn't eat in the main dining room
- 4:29Speaker 1: except for breakfast because of allergies because I have a
- 4:33Speaker 1: luxury action to peanuts and nuts now that I didn't
- 4:37Speaker 1: have years ago, and shellfish that I didn't have years
- 4:40Speaker 1: ago either, But because they sell seafood in the main
- 4:45Speaker 1: dining room, I couldn't eat there. And it was okay
- 4:48Speaker 1: because I went to the buffet, I went to the
- 4:51Speaker 1: taco place, I went to the pizza place, and then
- 4:54Speaker 1: I went to the burger place and then so there
- 4:57Speaker 1: was plenty for me to eat. But the funny thing
- 5:02Speaker 1: about it was it was the best trip that I've
- 5:06Speaker 1: ever been on, one of my top five trips. We
- 5:09Speaker 1: went to Cosameo, Mexico. We went to Jamaica, and then
- 5:15Speaker 1: we went to well Mantigo Bay, Jamaica, and then we
- 5:17Speaker 1: went to the Grand Cayman. The Grand Cayman, I did
- 5:19Speaker 1: not get off because, as y'all know, I lost my
- 5:24Speaker 1: job January ninth, and so I didn't have the money
- 5:29Speaker 1: to really get off the boat and really pay for
- 5:32Speaker 1: a lot of things because I would have had to
- 5:33Speaker 1: use my card. Caught it high, but eighty dollars in cash,
- 5:36Speaker 1: and I ended up spending it. In Mexico, I ended
- 5:40Speaker 1: up buying two of these pretty little bags, and then
- 5:43Speaker 1: I bought some souvenirs, and in Jamaica I bought some
- 5:48Speaker 1: actual rum It's like coffee room that you cannot only
- 5:51Speaker 1: cook with you can also drink it as is that
- 5:54Speaker 1: I intend to use. But I had a great time.
- 5:59Speaker 1: I really did. And when I first got on that boat,
- 6:02Speaker 1: I had no intentions of doing any excursions that I
- 6:04Speaker 1: ended up doing too. So I spent like five hundred
- 6:08Speaker 1: and seventy seven dollars on my credit card, which wasn't bad,
- 6:11Speaker 1: and it was well worth it, and I had a
- 6:13Speaker 1: great time and I enjoyed myself. So it was really
- 6:17Speaker 1: a great time. And yes, there are a lot of
- 6:20Speaker 1: older people on that boat. There are, and there are
- 6:25Speaker 1: a lot of couples and a lot of families on
- 6:27Speaker 1: that boat. But as a solo traveler, I still had
- 6:31Speaker 1: a great time. I did. They had a white party,
- 6:35Speaker 1: And I always say that with any cruise ship that
- 6:39Speaker 1: you go on, it depends on who the crew is,
- 6:45Speaker 1: whoever the workers are they work on that cruise, So
- 6:48Speaker 1: depending on who's gonna be working on that cruise determines
- 6:52Speaker 1: how you are treated on those cruise ships. It depends
- 6:57Speaker 1: on how your overall experience is will all depend on
- 7:02Speaker 1: the staff all in all, So if the staff is
- 7:06Speaker 1: great people, then you're gonna have a great experience. And
- 7:09Speaker 1: the one thing I can say about Margaret Deville at
- 7:13Speaker 1: sea is that you are going to have an experience.
- 7:17Speaker 1: They are about experience. They're not about all these bells
- 7:20Speaker 1: and whistles. They are about the actual cruise experience. The
- 7:26Speaker 1: excursions because it was the first time they went to Jamaica,
- 7:30Speaker 1: and it was the first time they went to the
- 7:32Speaker 1: Grand Cayman, so this was the first time they did
- 7:35Speaker 1: this particular cruise far as our tenerary, and it went smoothly.
- 7:42Speaker 1: We got there on time. They told us to be
- 7:45Speaker 1: back by three thirty because we were leaving at four
- 7:47Speaker 1: o'clock and they said it be back thirty minutes early
- 7:50Speaker 1: or be back by three fifteen. We only had two
- 7:53Speaker 1: people that missed the ship, but everybody else made it
- 7:56Speaker 1: on time. Now when it came to the excursion, and
- 8:02Speaker 1: it took a little bit because again everybody had to
- 8:05Speaker 1: find out where they had to go. But overall in Montego, Bay,
- 8:10Speaker 1: you're not gonna be outside, You're gonna be indoors because
- 8:13Speaker 1: you have to walk to get to the vands that
- 8:16Speaker 1: you have to get on to go to whatever excursions
- 8:18Speaker 1: you want to get on the Grand Caymans. Depending on
- 8:22Speaker 1: what boat it is, determines on what side. And yes,
- 8:24Speaker 1: you do have to take a boat in order to
- 8:26Speaker 1: get to the Grand Caymans. You can't dock there. Then,
- 8:30Speaker 1: not only that, you'll have to take a bus in
- 8:32Speaker 1: order to get wherever it is that you have to go.
- 8:35Speaker 1: So if you don't do any excursions, you're gonna have
- 8:39Speaker 1: to figure out how to get to places. And so
- 8:42Speaker 1: if you're a solo traveler, I don't recommend doing it
- 8:47Speaker 1: because if you ain't got no money, because the one
- 8:51Speaker 1: thing about Mexico and Montego Bay and the Grand Caymans,
- 8:56Speaker 1: it ain't cheap. It's not cheap at all. I paid
- 8:59Speaker 1: two nine dollars for a bottle of rum, and we
- 9:03Speaker 1: went to this tequila place. As far as tequila factory
- 9:07Speaker 1: where they actually make tequila, it was eighty five dollars.
- 9:11Speaker 1: Not only that, most of the places we went were
- 9:14Speaker 1: not cheap because we went to tourists environments versus non
- 9:18Speaker 1: tourist places. So when you go on cruises, understand that
- 9:22Speaker 1: you were going places where they're tourists. So yes, they're
- 9:26Speaker 1: gonna charge you more. If you have time to go
- 9:30Speaker 1: off the tourist places and go to the actual cities,
- 9:34Speaker 1: then you might get it cheaper. But as if you
- 9:37Speaker 1: have time. If you don't, then you don't. But while
- 9:40Speaker 1: I was in Montego Bay, Jamaica, I got to see
- 9:43Speaker 1: the wreckage of what happened in Jamaica as far as
- 9:46Speaker 1: the damage that was done, but the tourist areas were
- 9:50Speaker 1: not infected, were not affected, and the beaches were very beautiful,
- 9:54Speaker 1: the water was beautiful. I did not have motion sickness,
- 9:58Speaker 1: and I was on the first floor and the only
- 10:00Speaker 1: time I felt the boat move was when I was
- 10:03Speaker 1: either upstairs or it was really really wendy, because it
- 10:07Speaker 1: was wendy when we got towards Jamaica, and when we
- 10:10Speaker 1: got towards Draan Haymen's it was kind of rocky. But
- 10:15Speaker 1: other than that, when we first sailed, it was smooth.
- 10:18Speaker 1: But I still didn't have emotion sickness, thank God for that.
- 10:21Speaker 1: But I had a great time. I really did, and
- 10:24Speaker 1: I really would give Marguerite Deville a nine out of
- 10:28Speaker 1: ten because it wasn't all the bells and whistles. And
- 10:33Speaker 1: don't me wrong, I went on Carnival too, but Carnival
- 10:36Speaker 1: I had motion sickness. The performances were good, no matter
- 10:42Speaker 1: of fact, I didn't even go. I didn't even see
- 10:45Speaker 1: any of the performances in Carnival because I was sick
- 10:47Speaker 1: the whole entire time I was on that boat. I
- 10:49Speaker 1: was sick the whole entire time I was on that boat,
- 10:52Speaker 1: so I really didn't get to see all the performances.
- 10:56Speaker 1: But I will say that their imbartation was actually fun.
- 11:01Speaker 1: I love carnivals and bartation. We had a great time, now,
- 11:06Speaker 1: mind you. We went to Turks and Kekos. We went
- 11:09Speaker 1: to the Grand I forgot the second place we went to,
- 11:14Speaker 1: and then we went to Nasau Bahamas, signing a lot.
- 11:16Speaker 1: I had a great time when it came to going
- 11:20Speaker 1: to Grand Turks because you're literally on the beach, so
- 11:25Speaker 1: you really didn't have to go nowhere unless you wanted
- 11:27Speaker 1: to go somewhere. And I love Nasa A Bahamamas because
- 11:30Speaker 1: you can actually shop around in those areas, and you
- 11:35Speaker 1: can also get on the van and you can Also
- 11:37Speaker 1: you know, tour Nasa A, Bahamas, and you get to
- 11:39Speaker 1: go to Atlanta's and you get to go to different
- 11:42Speaker 1: restaurants and the chocolate factory. So that overall I loved Carnival.
- 11:47Speaker 1: I did. But if I had to choose between the
- 11:50Speaker 1: two of them based on experience, to me, I would
- 11:53Speaker 1: choose Margaret Rogaritaville because I didn't have motion sickness while
- 11:57Speaker 1: I was on that boat. Plus their their beds or
- 11:59Speaker 1: a whole lot more comfortable. The only thing was was
- 12:03Speaker 1: a heating thing. It took me a little bit to
- 12:05Speaker 1: understand the heating system. So when you go and you
- 12:09Speaker 1: get on Mario Deville, please make sure you have them
- 12:12Speaker 1: to explain to you how to work the heating system
- 12:15Speaker 1: and the air conditioning system, because they have a really
- 12:18Speaker 1: weird type of thermostat and if you don't know how
- 12:20Speaker 1: to work it, you're gonna be cold or you're gonna
- 12:22Speaker 1: be hot the whole in time time you on their boat.
- 12:25Speaker 1: But other than that, I had a great time and everything.
- 12:28Speaker 1: The food was actually pretty good. So like I said,
- 12:31Speaker 1: it depends on the staff that you get, honestly, because
- 12:34Speaker 1: some of the staff at the time it was gonna
- 12:36Speaker 1: be their last time for nine months. So the one
- 12:40Speaker 1: thing about staff is they're on their boats for nine
- 12:42Speaker 1: months and then they have time off and they're off
- 12:45Speaker 1: the boat for a while, so they get paid. They
- 12:49Speaker 1: apparently they get paid very well because to be able
- 12:51Speaker 1: to take a couple months off that right, they'll tell
- 12:54Speaker 1: you they made pretty good money. But anyway, so while
- 13:00Speaker 1: I was on the boat, I always showed the water
- 13:04Speaker 1: during the day and at night and what it looked like.
- 13:08Speaker 1: What I was doing at I was thinking along the
- 13:11Speaker 1: lines of life and how yes we're gonna have storms,
- 13:16Speaker 1: and yes we're gonna have you know, natural disasters and
- 13:20Speaker 1: things like that. But what matters is that it's only
- 13:27Speaker 1: as long as it needs to be. Eventually the water
- 13:32Speaker 1: will go back to being calm. And not once did
- 13:35Speaker 1: I think about me losing my job. Not once did
- 13:39Speaker 1: I think about anything that was going on at home.
- 13:42Speaker 1: I was just thinking about what was going on in
- 13:45Speaker 1: the boat, and that was it. I wasn't thinking about
- 13:48Speaker 1: everything that was going on social media. I wasn't worried
- 13:51Speaker 1: about what was going on in the United States. I
- 13:53Speaker 1: was just focused on the peace, to quiet and tranquility
- 13:57Speaker 1: that was their boat and having a good time, got
- 14:00Speaker 1: up early, had breakfast and walked around a lot. But
- 14:06Speaker 1: when I came back here, I was in pain. My
- 14:10Speaker 1: knees were hurting. I don't know why my knees were hurting.
- 14:13Speaker 1: I don't know, but I had pain in my knees.
- 14:15Speaker 1: I feel better now, but it didn't two days ago.
- 14:19Speaker 1: But then again, when you get back from a cruise,
- 14:22Speaker 1: things like that happened now, only that I got to help.
- 14:25Speaker 1: I got to hold inn iguana, a big old orange iguana,
- 14:29Speaker 1: which I never thought I would ever do. And then
- 14:31Speaker 1: I got to be with the dolphins and dolphin Cohen
- 14:35Speaker 1: Montego Bay. We didn't get to do the stingrays. I
- 14:38Speaker 1: don't know why. They said that they were going to
- 14:41Speaker 1: do the stingrays, but it was never done. But I
- 14:44Speaker 1: still had a great time. So all in all, I
- 14:49Speaker 1: would say that Marguerite Deville at Sea is more for
- 14:55Speaker 1: people that are about to experience, more so about the
- 14:58Speaker 1: bells and whistles. If you really just wanna go and
- 15:03Speaker 1: just enjoy yourself and relax, If you just wanna go
- 15:07Speaker 1: and turn everything off and you just want to like
- 15:12Speaker 1: read a book, you just want to just go listen
- 15:17Speaker 1: to music and buy if you just want to just
- 15:21Speaker 1: sit out in the sun and just relax. That's what
- 15:26Speaker 1: it is. That's what that's what it is. And the
- 15:29Speaker 1: gratuities were like one hundred and forty dollars. The internet
- 15:33Speaker 1: was like, if you get it early, then it's gonna
- 15:35Speaker 1: be cheaper. But I thought I had paid for it,
- 15:39Speaker 1: but apparently I didn't, so I had to pay two
- 15:40Speaker 1: oh six. That's why it was five hundred and seventy
- 15:43Speaker 1: seven dollars. My excursions were both like seventy seven dollars
- 15:48Speaker 1: a piece seventy seventy nine dollars a piece, so it
- 15:51Speaker 1: wasn't too bad. So I didn't really do that bad.
- 15:54Speaker 1: Not only that, the drinks, if you don't get drink pagets,
- 15:57Speaker 1: was like between eleven and fifteen dollars, which wasn't too
- 16:00Speaker 1: They're definitely didn't go into the club anyway, because even
- 16:03Speaker 1: back at home, when you go to the club, you
- 16:04Speaker 1: gonna pay about eleven fifteen dollars anyway, So it's about
- 16:07Speaker 1: the same as you would if you were going to
- 16:09Speaker 1: get something from the club. So if you're not somebody's
- 16:12Speaker 1: gonna be doing any major drinking and it's like occasional,
- 16:15Speaker 1: then you don't need to drink passage. If you're not
- 16:18Speaker 1: somebody's gonna be drinking every single night that you w
- 16:20Speaker 1: on their boat, which I did not do, then you
- 16:22Speaker 1: don't need it. If you're somebody that's not going to
- 16:25Speaker 1: drink specialty coffee, then you don't need it. Because I
- 16:28Speaker 1: didn't have specialty coffee. I had regular coffee the whole
- 16:30Speaker 1: time I was there. But you know, the only thing
- 16:35Speaker 1: is is that they have two buffets and they're not
- 16:41Speaker 1: really big, gigantic buffets, which was fine. I didn't really
- 16:45Speaker 1: care because again, you know, dunk wrong. I like having
- 16:50Speaker 1: multiple choices, which is good. But again, Marguerite Deville hasn't
- 16:55Speaker 1: been around that long, so they have time to grow.
- 17:01Speaker 1: But I do love that it's not about customer service,
- 17:03Speaker 1: it's really about family. So I loved that. So I
- 17:07Speaker 1: had a great time. I did. But when I came home,
- 17:11Speaker 1: you know, I didn't think about I I went ahead
- 17:14Speaker 1: and pay my rent because like, let me go ahead
- 17:16Speaker 1: and pay my rent now early, let me go ahead
- 17:19Speaker 1: and start figuring out. So when I was doing my
- 17:23Speaker 1: taxes and everything, I got frustrated because I kept trying
- 17:28Speaker 1: to figure out what I was doing wrong. Had to
- 17:29Speaker 1: call the irs. Was on the phone for like about
- 17:32Speaker 1: an hour trying to figure out what was wrong, and
- 17:35Speaker 1: then something just told me to stop, slow down and
- 17:39Speaker 1: actually read the instructions. And then I realized what I
- 17:41Speaker 1: did wrong. I was going in the wrong place, doing
- 17:44Speaker 1: the wrong thing, the whole entire guy second time, but
- 17:47Speaker 1: it all worked out. My friend asked me to listen
- 17:50Speaker 1: to his documentary, so I did about menopause. It. I
- 17:54Speaker 1: was very very enlightened about the information they gave about menopause.
- 17:58Speaker 1: So I will be talking about menopause and basically essentially
- 18:04Speaker 1: definitely putting some information out there about menopause on my
- 18:09Speaker 1: Health and Wellness channel, stuff that's not really being talked
- 18:13Speaker 1: about when it comes to health and wellness, that you know,
- 18:15Speaker 1: people should be more aware of. But all in all,
- 18:20Speaker 1: it was more The cruise was more about me just
- 18:27Speaker 1: enjoying myself, not about doing what's expected, not about worrying
- 18:32Speaker 1: about whether I have a job or not worrying about
- 18:34Speaker 1: whether I'm in a relationship or not. You know, I
- 18:37Speaker 1: could have had somebody to go with me on this cruise,
- 18:39Speaker 1: but I went as a solo traveler. And when I
- 18:43Speaker 1: was getting ready to wait to get off the boat.
- 18:46Speaker 1: That's when all the trouble started because everybody was trying
- 18:48Speaker 1: to cut, trying to you know, get in front of people,
- 18:51Speaker 1: which was downright disrespectful. Even that morning, we had people
- 18:55Speaker 1: that were cutting because they didn't realize they were only
- 18:58Speaker 1: going to open one side, because of the fact that
- 19:01Speaker 1: it was time to get off the boat, because you know,
- 19:03Speaker 1: our seven days was over with and they had to
- 19:06Speaker 1: get ready for the next people to go on the boat.
- 19:09Speaker 1: But it all worked out. Even still, it all worked out.
- 19:13Speaker 1: But you know, when you walk out the door and everything,
- 19:18Speaker 1: you never know what's gonna happen, no matter what you do,
- 19:23Speaker 1: no matter where you go, no matter what environment you're
- 19:26Speaker 1: in or what situation you're in, you never know what
- 19:28Speaker 1: may or may not happen. But the one thing I
- 19:30Speaker 1: can say is that everybody on that boat was not negative.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Everybody on that boat respected each other, had conversations with
- 19:40Speaker 1: each other, gave people compliments. You know, it wasn't a
- 19:45Speaker 1: racial thing, none of that. And there's a bunch of
- 19:48Speaker 1: people on the boat. People got to watch the football games,
- 19:51Speaker 1: they got to chill, people got to go on the
- 19:54Speaker 1: adults only so they have an adults only section and
- 19:58Speaker 1: the One thing about the boat is each section has
- 20:02Speaker 1: a different theme. Each section looks different, so nothing on
- 20:06Speaker 1: that boat looks the same. You know, the fourth, fifth,
- 20:12Speaker 1: and sixth floor, I think one the sixth floor had
- 20:16Speaker 1: the kids section. I still couldn't find a gym, but
- 20:20Speaker 1: that was okay. I really wanted to go to gym,
- 20:22Speaker 1: but I couldn't find it. And then as I was
- 20:25Speaker 1: gett up the boat, somebody said, well, we about to
- 20:27Speaker 1: go from this boat to celebrity. So I'm like, well, dang,
- 20:31Speaker 1: I want to be like these people. I want to
- 20:32Speaker 1: be able to go and go from one one cruise
- 20:36Speaker 1: to another. And then you know, it got me thinking
- 20:39Speaker 1: about me becoming a travel agent. So I have a
- 20:43Speaker 1: channel that is based upon traveling where I went to
- 20:46Speaker 1: Vegas and when I went to Nasa Bahamas. But and
- 20:51Speaker 1: I did post some of the pictures where I went
- 20:53Speaker 1: to Florida. But I wish I'd did this a long
- 20:57Speaker 1: time ago. But at one time I used to be
- 21:00Speaker 1: a travel agent. But I couldn't quite figure ou how
- 21:02Speaker 1: to do it. But I said, when I get my
- 21:04Speaker 1: taxi back, I am going to start becoming a trivel agent,
- 21:08Speaker 1: even if I do have a regular nine to five job.
- 21:11Speaker 1: So if I want to put a title on this,
- 21:15Speaker 1: it's gonna be about going from doing from what's expected
- 21:20Speaker 1: to doing what it is. That is truly my purpose
- 21:23Speaker 1: in my path as far as why I was put
- 21:26Speaker 1: on this earthenal first place. So when it comes to
- 21:30Speaker 1: you minding your own business, when I had booked this cruise,
- 21:35Speaker 1: it was before I lost my job. It was before
- 21:39Speaker 1: I lost my job. I did not think in August
- 21:42Speaker 1: I was gonna lose my job, because when I actually
- 21:45Speaker 1: booked this cruise was right before I lost my job
- 21:49Speaker 1: in September, no August August twenty eighth, so it was
- 21:54Speaker 1: a month before I lost my job. I booked this
- 21:59Speaker 1: cruise because they had to sell on it. So I
- 22:03Speaker 1: went in and booked and booked it and lost my job.
- 22:06Speaker 1: Go figure. But in the end, it all worked out.
- 22:12Speaker 1: It did. It worked out. So, like I said, I'm
- 22:17Speaker 1: not thrilled about the fact that I lost my job
- 22:21Speaker 1: and then lost my job again January ninth. But I'm
- 22:26Speaker 1: either gonna panic about it or I'm gonna say, you
- 22:30Speaker 1: know what, Maybe they ain't meant for me to work
- 22:32Speaker 1: a job after all. Maybe I'm just sick and tired
- 22:36Speaker 1: of the roof being pulled from up under me all
- 22:38Speaker 1: the time, or the rug being pulled from up under
- 22:40Speaker 1: me all the time. I'm tired of my house constantly
- 22:43Speaker 1: and knocked down like the pigs when it came to
- 22:46Speaker 1: building their house a straw and building their house as
- 22:48Speaker 1: a stick. Maybe I need to build my house a
- 22:51Speaker 1: brick so that way I ain't gotta worry about somebody
- 22:54Speaker 1: trying to tear my house down or blow my house
- 22:57Speaker 1: down like the big bad wolf. So it really got
- 23:02Speaker 1: me reflecting on Okay, let me start figuring out what
- 23:08Speaker 1: am I gonna do that's gonna make me money. I
- 23:12Speaker 1: do what I love, turn it into a business, be
- 23:15Speaker 1: able to make twenty thousand dollars a month and be
- 23:18Speaker 1: able to live and be able to be having So
- 23:24Speaker 1: this week it's about resting and recuperating and reorganizing, well
- 23:32Speaker 1: newly organizing my house. So today, since I didn't go
- 23:37Speaker 1: to bed like five o'clock this morning, I laid down
- 23:40Speaker 1: for a little bit. So about three two, three o'clock,
- 23:42Speaker 1: i'mna get up, get dressed, take my trash outside and
- 23:46Speaker 1: finally take that out, and then start organizing my house.
- 23:51Speaker 1: So I wanted to do this podcast because I missed
- 23:53Speaker 1: yesterday because, like I said, I got caught up and
- 23:57Speaker 1: doing my taxes and I just didn't get a chance
- 23:59Speaker 1: to post this until today on Tuesday. I'm sorry, but
- 24:03Speaker 1: I am getting back on track. But this week is
- 24:06Speaker 1: about getting myself prepared for a journey that I'm really
- 24:13Speaker 1: looking forward to but I'm still nervous about, and that
- 24:17Speaker 1: is a holistic living. Now, what I am going to
- 24:21Speaker 1: do today is I am going to do some writing today.
- 24:24Speaker 1: I am going to I got some classes and some
- 24:26Speaker 1: courses that I'm about to start listening to that I'm
- 24:29Speaker 1: going to be listening to to get certified in holistic treatment.
- 24:34Speaker 1: I have four more classes I gotta take to get
- 24:36Speaker 1: my Mental Health Practitioners certification, so I will have that
- 24:42Speaker 1: and that also it has a couple other certifications that
- 24:44Speaker 1: I want to get for my coaching. But today was
- 24:49Speaker 1: one of them days where I had to look a
- 24:51Speaker 1: pre conversation with someone and what ended up happening was
- 24:56Speaker 1: not only was were they mowing the grass at my
- 24:59Speaker 1: apartment comp but I have these AI glasses. I got
- 25:04Speaker 1: two of them. One of them decided to go off
- 25:07Speaker 1: because I didn't even say Surrey. I was just like
- 25:10Speaker 1: you know, I just started talking. So when I say Surrey,
- 25:14Speaker 1: my thing automatically comes on, and so it took a
- 25:17Speaker 1: picture and then it showed what it was I was
- 25:20Speaker 1: looking at or whatever it was. So I was like,
- 25:24Speaker 1: this thing is going off. But then when I went
- 25:26Speaker 1: back and listened to the pre conversation on zoom, it
- 25:29Speaker 1: was like as if none of this stuff happened. So
- 25:31Speaker 1: even though it happened, I didn't panic. He didn't even
- 25:35Speaker 1: know that I was trying to fix something. But it all,
- 25:38Speaker 1: you know, worked out and everything. But things happen. But
- 25:46Speaker 1: I could even sit here and panic about me losing
- 25:49Speaker 1: my job, or I could sit here and say, you
- 25:52Speaker 1: know what, let me take advantage of the fact that
- 25:54Speaker 1: I'm not working right now. Let me take advantage of
- 25:57Speaker 1: the fact that I gotta trust the process and give
- 26:02Speaker 1: it to God and say, you know what, even though
- 26:05Speaker 1: I'm going through what I'm going through, I'm gonna be
- 26:08Speaker 1: quote unquote Okay, I'm gonna get through this. No matter
- 26:13Speaker 1: what happens. I'm gonna get through this. My faith in
- 26:17Speaker 1: God does not waiver because of what I go through.
- 26:21Speaker 1: I'm just letting God walk with me through this situation
- 26:25Speaker 1: and guiding me on what direction did I need to go,
- 26:28Speaker 1: and assisting me on making sure that I go the
- 26:30Speaker 1: right direction. And it wasn't something that I asked when
- 26:35Speaker 1: I lost my job. It was actually before when I
- 26:39Speaker 1: got that on my knees the way job did. When
- 26:41Speaker 1: it came down to him saying I come to you naked.
- 26:44Speaker 1: I come to you as a baby, needing assistance, needing assurance,
- 26:51Speaker 1: wanting to be taught. And even though the devil has
- 26:55Speaker 1: tried to make me go against God my answers, no,
- 26:58Speaker 1: I choose you, ready for the Holy Spirit to take over.
- 27:02Speaker 1: And so ever since that's happened, the way I look
- 27:07Speaker 1: at things is so differently. I accept things for what
- 27:10Speaker 1: they are, not what I want them to be. I'm
- 27:12Speaker 1: not going through all these hoops and bounds and trying
- 27:15Speaker 1: to do all this stuff like James Scott Farrin. I
- 27:17Speaker 1: want what I want, and I want it now, and
- 27:19Speaker 1: I'm willing to do all these things and not only
- 27:21Speaker 1: disrespect myself, but degrave myself because just because I want
- 27:25Speaker 1: what I won't doesn't mean it's meant for me to have.
- 27:28Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that it's meant for me. So even
- 27:31Speaker 1: though I may want what I want for whatever reason.
- 27:35Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that person has to reciprocate. It doesn't
- 27:37Speaker 1: mean that's where I'm supposed to be. It just means
- 27:40Speaker 1: that whatever's meant for me, it is meant for me.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Whatever's not meant for me, I'm not gonna worry about
- 27:45Speaker 1: it because I'm not gonna waste my time trying to
- 27:48Speaker 1: make something happen with someone does not somebody that God
- 27:52Speaker 1: brought in my life or someone that is meant for me.
- 27:55Speaker 1: So that's what happens. When you finally say you've had
- 27:58Speaker 1: enough out, you're like, okay, it is what it is.
- 28:04Speaker 1: So now people are mad because you're not doing whatever
- 28:08Speaker 1: it is that you do that You're not chasing behind
- 28:11Speaker 1: something or trying to make somebody want you in all
- 28:13Speaker 1: these things that don't in the first place. So I
- 28:17Speaker 1: had a great time. I really enjoyed myself. I'm looking
- 28:21Speaker 1: forward to letting you guys hear the conversation that I
- 28:25Speaker 1: had with someone about business and the fact that business
- 28:31Speaker 1: is not just about making money. There are other components
- 28:35Speaker 1: that are very important that makes a healthy business that
- 28:39Speaker 1: me and the person went into briefly. We also talked
- 28:42Speaker 1: about how our journeys as far as our setbacks, our failures,
- 28:48Speaker 1: all of those things led us to where we are
- 28:50Speaker 1: now in doing what we are doing now, and how
- 28:56Speaker 1: so many things as far as what defines success, what
- 29:02Speaker 1: defines business, what defines you know, the mind, the body,
- 29:06Speaker 1: and the spirit, your health and wellness, how those things
- 29:10Speaker 1: matter because your mental health, psychological health, your emotional health,
- 29:14Speaker 1: your spiritual health, your external and external health as far
- 29:18Speaker 1: as your body is concerned, and also your relationships and
- 29:25Speaker 1: your financial and your environment play a very big part
- 29:31Speaker 1: of whether or not you're gonna be healthy. Because if
- 29:35Speaker 1: you're not healthy, if you don't have the right people
- 29:39Speaker 1: that's gonna help you through your journey, then you're gonna
- 29:42Speaker 1: be screwed. But the one thing you don't do is
- 29:47Speaker 1: push your employees to the point that they're unhealthy. My
- 29:53Speaker 1: mother's generation may be the last generation where people can
- 29:56Speaker 1: actually retire. Gen X and millennials may not even be
- 30:00Speaker 1: able retire. They still gonna have to work. So again,
- 30:06Speaker 1: when are we gonna get to a place where we're
- 30:08Speaker 1: not working till sixty five and we're actually doing what
- 30:12Speaker 1: we love before we turn forty? That it isn't about
- 30:15Speaker 1: going to college, it's about doing what your natural talent
- 30:18Speaker 1: is and doing stuff that you love. You not waiting
- 30:21Speaker 1: around for somebody else to give you opportunities. You're creating
- 30:24Speaker 1: opportunities your zone. And it's just like if you want to.
- 30:29Speaker 1: For example, we talked about the fact of when you
- 30:32Speaker 1: have shareholders and you want them to invest in your company,
- 30:37Speaker 1: and then when you want to buy back the shares
- 30:39Speaker 1: because the company is doing so well, they're like, no,
- 30:42Speaker 1: I'm not selling you back your shares, and if I do,
- 30:44Speaker 1: it's whatever the market value it is, which can be
- 30:47Speaker 1: ten times more then they originally paid for those you
- 30:51Speaker 1: know shares. So you need to make sure you have
- 30:54Speaker 1: stuff in contracts as far as making sure that if
- 30:57Speaker 1: you want to buy back your you know, those shares,
- 31:00Speaker 1: that you can buy them back for whatever it was
- 31:02Speaker 1: they paid for versus it being whatever the value is
- 31:05Speaker 1: at the time. So, like I said, it's just one
- 31:09Speaker 1: of the things you gotta back and think about. But
- 31:13Speaker 1: researching and educating yourself and making sure you're walking down
- 31:18Speaker 1: the right path is very important. So instead of worrying
- 31:22Speaker 1: about everybody else, instead of being jealous and envious of
- 31:25Speaker 1: other people, you should just focus on yourself, focus on
- 31:29Speaker 1: what you need to do, because the one thing about
- 31:31Speaker 1: healing and recovery is about seeing things for what they
- 31:33Speaker 1: are and not what you want them to be. It's
- 31:36Speaker 1: not about running around chasing something and trying to get
- 31:40Speaker 1: somebody to do something that they just don't want to do.
- 31:44Speaker 1: It's about you saying, okay, well, this job don't want
- 31:47Speaker 1: to accept me, and that's fine. They don't have to
- 31:49Speaker 1: accept me. They don't have to hire me. These people
- 31:53Speaker 1: don't have to give me the opportunity because maybe it
- 31:57Speaker 1: ain't meant for me to be there. So it may
- 32:00Speaker 1: not be meant for you to be in that environment.
- 32:02Speaker 1: And that's okay too. Said at the end of the day,
- 32:06Speaker 1: just because like James Scott Farron, you want what you
- 32:10Speaker 1: won't doesn't mean it's meant for you to have It,
- 32:12Speaker 1: doesn't mean you need to be there, doesn't mean you
- 32:14Speaker 1: need to be involved. Sometimes it ain't meant for you
- 32:17Speaker 1: to be involved. Sometimes it ain't meant for none of that.
- 32:20Speaker 1: You're supposed to keep to yourself. So again, let it go,
- 32:26Speaker 1: move forward, moving forward. So at the end of the day,
- 32:32Speaker 1: like I said, we're gonna have setbacks, We're gonna have
- 32:37Speaker 1: things that happen because at the end of the day.
- 32:39Speaker 1: People can turn around and absolutely pull the rug from
- 32:44Speaker 1: up under you and you don't see it coming. Jobs
- 32:47Speaker 1: are doing it every day when it comes to layoffs
- 32:50Speaker 1: and laying people off, they're pulling the rug from up
- 32:54Speaker 1: under you and you don't even see it coming. You
- 32:57Speaker 1: can be married and think that everything's okay, and your
- 32:59Speaker 1: husband to you one day and says I want a divorce,
- 33:01Speaker 1: and you now got three kids that you gotta raise
- 33:03Speaker 1: by yourself. So sometimes with people, they're so fickled. And
- 33:08Speaker 1: when it come to freedom of choice and free will,
- 33:10Speaker 1: that is the one thing that you cannot alter. You
- 33:13Speaker 1: can try, but you can't control that. People have the
- 33:17Speaker 1: right to walk out when they want to. Does it
- 33:20Speaker 1: make it right? No, But do they have the right
- 33:23Speaker 1: to do that, Yes, they do. So when people are
- 33:26Speaker 1: trying to strip away your freedom of choice, trying to
- 33:29Speaker 1: strip away your right to be able to do what
- 33:31Speaker 1: you choose, that is a problem. That is a very
- 33:35Speaker 1: serious problem. So you know, at the end of the day,
- 33:39Speaker 1: I could have stayed home, not went on their cruise,
- 33:41Speaker 1: got my money back, but I said no, because I
- 33:43Speaker 1: paid for it monthly through uplift. Not only that, because
- 33:47Speaker 1: I use a firm to buy stuff. Now my credit
- 33:50Speaker 1: has went up to seven point thirty one, so I
- 33:53Speaker 1: can ask to buy a house. I just gotta get
- 33:55Speaker 1: my finances together so I can finally buy me a house. So,
- 33:58Speaker 1: like I said, at the end of the day, I'm
- 34:00Speaker 1: not buying a house for the reasons you might think.
- 34:02Speaker 1: I'm buying a house because my child is gonna need
- 34:04Speaker 1: somewhere to stay. Because again, I want to make sure
- 34:07Speaker 1: my child has somewhere where the house is paid off
- 34:11Speaker 1: and he doesn't have to worry about nothing except and
- 34:14Speaker 1: then making sure that I have money every year to
- 34:17Speaker 1: be able to pay the taxes on the house, so
- 34:20Speaker 1: whoever has my son does not have to worry about
- 34:22Speaker 1: a house. It's gotta pay the lectric bill, the water bill,
- 34:26Speaker 1: and it can be paid. So again, you know, it's
- 34:31Speaker 1: not about buying these things because they're nice to look
- 34:36Speaker 1: at or to make other people jealous. It's because I'm
- 34:39Speaker 1: buying it because that's just what I want to do,
- 34:43Speaker 1: because I want a sanctuary. So it's not always about
- 34:47Speaker 1: buying something because it's expensive because I have a name
- 34:49Speaker 1: on it. It's because I really want it. That's it.
- 34:54Speaker 1: So I don't need to have all the bills and
- 34:55Speaker 1: whistles and all these things. I just want to have
- 34:58Speaker 1: a simple life and be happy. That's it. And my
- 35:00Speaker 1: child being happy, my mom being good, everybody good. That's it.
- 35:04Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, you know, I'm
- 35:07Speaker 1: putting myself first. I am a priority, and I accept
- 35:11Speaker 1: things for who and what they are. I'm not trying
- 35:14Speaker 1: to change nothing. I just want to be happy. That's
- 35:18Speaker 1: about it. So again, even though I'm going through what
- 35:21Speaker 1: I'm going through, and I could be panicking and worry
- 35:23Speaker 1: about how am I gonna pay my car payment, how
- 35:24Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this, I'm just going to continue to
- 35:30Speaker 1: not stress about it because I ain't nothing I gonna
- 35:32Speaker 1: do about it, and it's stressed is not gonna change
- 35:33Speaker 1: the situation, and that's it. That's all. I will do
- 35:38Speaker 1: my best. So at the end of the day, like
- 35:43Speaker 1: I said, whether nobody's there or nobody's there, I'll be
- 35:46Speaker 1: fine because I'm a fighter and I've been through worst.
- 35:55Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, just be happy.
- 35:58Speaker 1: So if you want to go on cruise, don't let
- 36:01Speaker 1: anything stop you from doing that. You want to travel,
- 36:04Speaker 1: go ahead and put that in your agenda. Because again
- 36:08Speaker 1: the fact that for fifty two weeks out of the
- 36:10Speaker 1: year you're working. At least about about thirty three fifty
- 36:19Speaker 1: one of those weeks of year you're working. So, like
- 36:26Speaker 1: I said, you know, life is passing you by while
- 36:29Speaker 1: you're trying to be a part of society standards. Life
- 36:32Speaker 1: is passing you by, and now you're missing out on
- 36:35Speaker 1: opportunities because now you're at a rect the nine to
- 36:38Speaker 1: five job. You just can't get up and just go
- 36:40Speaker 1: to the beach when you want to, unless you live
- 36:42Speaker 1: on the beach. Then that's a whole other conversation. Then. Yeah,
- 36:46Speaker 1: But just to be able to go on the beach,
- 36:47Speaker 1: to be able to go to Bali whenever you want to,
- 36:49Speaker 1: you gotta ask for permission to go. That's like a
- 36:52Speaker 1: child parent relationship when it comes to a job. So
- 36:55Speaker 1: when you start looking at things for what they truly are,
- 36:58Speaker 1: you look at things so very differently, and it's easier
- 37:00Speaker 1: for you to say, you know what, no, I'm not
- 37:03Speaker 1: doing that today. So I get it. So it all
- 37:19Speaker 1: work out. It always does, So I'm just gonna leave
- 37:23Speaker 1: it here. I didn't wanna, you know, say too much
- 37:26Speaker 1: because this season of this podcast is going to be
- 37:32Speaker 1: about focusing on yourself, not worrying about who doesn't love
- 37:36Speaker 1: you like you. Appreciate value once you need you for
- 37:41Speaker 1: being validated, being approved of being accepted, for somebody to
- 37:45Speaker 1: know your worth, improving some other people. You not being
- 37:48Speaker 1: captain saber hose, build a bear's buill a doll seat fillers, pleasers,
- 37:52Speaker 1: trying to lower yourself in order to build other people up.
- 37:56Speaker 1: You're no longer doing that anymore. This is going to
- 38:01Speaker 1: be about why you need to focus on you, Why
- 38:05Speaker 1: you need to build a foundation that is unbreakable, Why
- 38:09Speaker 1: you need to determine what that foundation is going to
- 38:13Speaker 1: be based on how to build a foundation, How to
- 38:17Speaker 1: determine what your foundation is going to be as far
- 38:21Speaker 1: as health and wellness mentally, psychologically, emotionally, financially, spiritually, all
- 38:27Speaker 1: of these things. What is your non negotiables going to be?
- 38:32Speaker 1: That is going to be important, because your non negotiables
- 38:35Speaker 1: are going to be extremely important and they're going to
- 38:39Speaker 1: be needed. So you know you're going to need those
- 38:42Speaker 1: non negotiables. That's the one thing that your foundation is
- 38:45Speaker 1: going to consist on, your standards and your non negotiables.
- 38:50Speaker 1: So this season is going to be about what your
- 38:53Speaker 1: non negotiables are going to be what is your foundation
- 38:57Speaker 1: going to look like, and how to go about putting
- 39:02Speaker 1: those things in place, Because once you figure out what
- 39:06Speaker 1: your non negotiables are, then those are the things that
- 39:11Speaker 1: no matter what doulage is exactly that non negotiables, these
- 39:16Speaker 1: are things that you're just not gonna negotiate on, even
- 39:21Speaker 1: if it's everything from you're not going to have sextal marriage,
- 39:27Speaker 1: that's you're non negotiable. That's you're non negotiable. If you're
- 39:30Speaker 1: saying that you're not gonna be with somebody broke, that's
- 39:32Speaker 1: your non negotiable. That's you're not negotiable. If you're non negotiable,
- 39:36Speaker 1: is that I'm going to not worry about who's go
- 39:41Speaker 1: on trips to me and I'm going by myself, Then
- 39:43Speaker 1: that's your non negotiable. But you're non negotiable is your foundation,
- 39:48Speaker 1: and that is a thing that's not going to change,
- 39:50Speaker 1: meaning that your safety net is not gonna change. Your
- 39:55Speaker 1: routine as far as the way you exercise. Now, mind you,
- 39:59Speaker 1: these things can be altered, meaning that you may have
- 40:02Speaker 1: to do different products, you may have to not do
- 40:05Speaker 1: one thing as hard as the other, but you're still
- 40:07Speaker 1: gonna do it, but you just may not have to
- 40:09Speaker 1: do it as hard, may have to do it as much.
- 40:12Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean that it's not a part of
- 40:13Speaker 1: your foundation, because you never know where you might need
- 40:15Speaker 1: it again. But your foundation are the things that every
- 40:20Speaker 1: day for the rest of your life, that you are
- 40:22Speaker 1: going to be doing that's going to help you to
- 40:25Speaker 1: continuously be the best version of yourself, continue to make
- 40:28Speaker 1: you healthy, continue to make you successful. You know the
- 40:31Speaker 1: people in your life that are going to help you
- 40:34Speaker 1: as far as being the best version of yourself, stuff
- 40:37Speaker 1: like that. So that excuse me, That's what it's gonna
- 40:41Speaker 1: be about. What is your non negotiables, What are the
- 40:45Speaker 1: things that you're just not gonna put up with or accept.
- 40:49Speaker 1: What are the things that are your standards? What do
- 40:50Speaker 1: you stand for? What are the things that, no matter what,
- 40:54Speaker 1: nobody can't say that you are going to go again.
- 40:57Speaker 1: So in other words, you're maintaining the things that are
- 41:01Speaker 1: gonna make you healthy, that's gonna make you successful, that's
- 41:03Speaker 1: gonna make you have better relationships. So you're gonna constantly
- 41:07Speaker 1: be researching, constantly learning, constantly, growing, constantly evolving constantly, like
- 41:13Speaker 1: writing a paper or writing a book where you're gonna
- 41:15Speaker 1: brainstorm and you're gonna start putting things together and figuring
- 41:19Speaker 1: out what works for you. And whatever you feel that
- 41:22Speaker 1: works for you is gonna be your foundation. And that
- 41:25Speaker 1: is something you're not gonna change no matter what. You
- 41:28Speaker 1: may have to alter it, meaning that you may do
- 41:32Speaker 1: one thing like say, for example, you lose the weight
- 41:37Speaker 1: or whatever your goal is, you still gotta maintain it.
- 41:41Speaker 1: You may not have to work as hard in certain areas,
- 41:45Speaker 1: you may not have to do certain things as much,
- 41:47Speaker 1: but it doesn't mean that you don't do it. It
- 41:50Speaker 1: just means you can tone down on it. You may
- 41:53Speaker 1: not have to do it as much, but you're still
- 41:56Speaker 1: gonna do it. So let's say you may do your
- 41:59Speaker 1: arm you might do weights, you might do your treadmill,
- 42:03Speaker 1: you might do your stepper, you might do different things.
- 42:07Speaker 1: But the point is is that you are going to
- 42:11Speaker 1: do these things, but you may not have to do
- 42:15Speaker 1: them as much, but your foundation is still the same.
- 42:18Speaker 1: But the only difference is that you know there might
- 42:24Speaker 1: be someone else. But hey, but anyway, I just wanted
- 42:28Speaker 1: to do this podcast right quick to just tell y'all
- 42:32Speaker 1: it is really okay to have a foundation. So you
- 42:36Speaker 1: mind your own business? Is your foundation based upon the
- 42:40Speaker 1: new version of you and what that's going to look like?
- 42:44Speaker 1: Because here's the thing. Everything has steps, everything has layers,
- 42:48Speaker 1: everything has you know, different stages, different steps, different levels
- 42:54Speaker 1: that you're gonna have to go on in order to
- 42:57Speaker 1: be the best version of yourself. And it's not just
- 42:59Speaker 1: about saying, Okay, I'm gonna be successful. That's fine, Well
- 43:03Speaker 1: then good, But how are you gonna go about doing that?
- 43:06Speaker 1: How are you gonna work all this stuff out? So
- 43:09Speaker 1: it's just something you gotta think about. But I do
- 43:12Speaker 1: get it though. So in the end, like I said,
- 43:17Speaker 1: you know, minding your own business is one of the
- 43:20Speaker 1: one of the biggest steps when it comes to healing
- 43:24Speaker 1: and recovery because it's about being an individual. It's not
- 43:27Speaker 1: about being in a group. It's not about you know,
- 43:32Speaker 1: being around the wrong people, letting people continuously impact and
- 43:35Speaker 1: affect your life and vice versa. It's really about being
- 43:39Speaker 1: very selective about who you bring in your life, who
- 43:42Speaker 1: you choose to be there, what environment you're gonna be in,
- 43:45Speaker 1: what lifestyle dos you won't? And what is this new
- 43:49Speaker 1: version of you gonna look like? And what is your
- 43:51Speaker 1: foundation gonna be like, what are your standards gonna be?
- 43:54Speaker 1: You know, what is a new look gonna look like?
- 43:58Speaker 1: What is this new version of you gonna even recommend
- 44:03Speaker 1: that part? So no, I kid it. But at the
- 44:09Speaker 1: end of the day, like I said, you know, you're
- 44:12Speaker 1: an individual. You brought in this world to be an individual,
- 44:16Speaker 1: and sometimes your parents don't even know your purpose that
- 44:19Speaker 1: you just here because the person that you had a
- 44:22Speaker 1: child by was not even this person you're supposed to
- 44:24Speaker 1: have a kid buying the first place, So it's kind
- 44:26Speaker 1: of hard to know what that child's perfect purpose is
- 44:31Speaker 1: when that child was never supposed to be born by
- 44:33Speaker 1: that person in the Firth place, because you're never supposed
- 44:36Speaker 1: to be that person in the Firth place. But other
- 44:38Speaker 1: than that, we'll get more into that next week, and
- 44:41Speaker 1: I will definitely play y'all the conversation that I had
- 44:45Speaker 1: with the person I had a pre conversation with today.
- 44:47Speaker 1: So with that being said, I thank you guys for
- 44:50Speaker 1: joining me for this episode. I appreciate y'all for being there,
- 44:54Speaker 1: for holding me down and being supportive. I appreciate it.
- 44:57Speaker 1: With that being said, have a happy Tuesday and I'll
- 45:00Speaker 1: see ya later.
