- 9:50Speaker 2: again we are here on this Day eight challenge. So
- 9:55Speaker 2: walking in your purpose is it just a one time decision.
- 9:59Speaker 2: It is a day daily journey filled with learning, growth,
- 10:03Speaker 2: and intentional actions. Through my journey, let me make sure
- 10:07Speaker 2: I'll hold on. I had to make sure I was
- 10:10Speaker 2: still on this through my journey. As an author of
- 10:16Speaker 2: many books of many books, over one hundred literary publications available.
- 10:23Speaker 2: My books are dedicated to educate, empower, and encourage. I
- 10:28Speaker 2: discovered that unlocking purpose is not about having it all
- 10:32Speaker 2: figured out, but saying yes to growth, service, and authentic
- 10:39Speaker 2: needs every single day. Today, I want to share a
- 10:44Speaker 2: few practical tips that I have not only shaped my
- 10:49Speaker 2: own life around, but which I trust will empower you
- 10:54Speaker 2: to walk boldly in your calling. So, y'all, these are
- 10:58Speaker 2: some tips that I utilize in my own life. So
- 11:03Speaker 2: number one. Number one, educate yourself, never stop learning. Example,
- 11:15Speaker 2: when I started my writing and journey, I made it
- 11:18Speaker 2: a habit to read books, a ten workshop, and to
- 11:21Speaker 2: seek mentors in both literary and life. The more I learned,
- 11:27Speaker 2: the clearer my path became, and the better equipped I
- 11:30Speaker 2: was to help others, whether it was through professional courses, books,
- 11:34Speaker 2: or even podcasting. Committing to a lifelong learning process, knowledge
- 11:41Speaker 2: is fuel to your purpose, y'all. I'm going back to school.
- 11:44Speaker 2: How I just said I'm going back to school. I
- 11:47Speaker 2: just enrolled today. I am going back to school. Classes
- 11:51Speaker 2: started monday. But yet, guess what, I got a couple
- 11:56Speaker 2: more papers to fill out and I'll be back in school.
- 11:59Speaker 2: Shouldn't that back in schoolgirl? They contacted me and asked
- 12:06Speaker 2: me if I wanted to take so, yes, I'm taking
- 12:08Speaker 2: summer classes. I'm working on my second master y'all, you
- 12:13Speaker 2: can never learn too much. You can never learn too much.
- 12:16Speaker 2: I'm learning that on this journey that there's always something
- 12:20Speaker 2: that you can learn. Even if you think you'll know
- 12:23Speaker 2: it all, you'll never know it all. Because every day,
- 12:26Speaker 2: as long as this world continue to evolve, we're gonna
- 12:30Speaker 2: continue to evolve, We're gonna continue to grow, and they're
- 12:33Speaker 2: gonna be things that we're gonna need to know. And
- 12:36Speaker 2: if you look at AI and all of these other
- 12:41Speaker 2: artificial intelligent stuff that's popping up on the scene that
- 12:46Speaker 2: is evolving, that that is yet another elevation computers. We
- 12:52Speaker 2: look at computers, we look at cell phones, we look
- 12:54Speaker 2: at TV's, we look at everything that has been a
- 12:57Speaker 2: part of our life and look how it has evolved.
- 13:02Speaker 2: So know that we're gonna always we should always be
- 13:07Speaker 2: in a place of wanting to learn, because again, knowledge
- 13:13Speaker 2: is fuel for your purpose. It will help you to
- 13:18Speaker 2: dive into that thing that you're doing, and it will
- 13:21Speaker 2: help you on this journey y'all we call life and
- 13:25Speaker 2: walking in your purpose and doing those things that we
- 13:29Speaker 2: know that He has called us to, y'all. Okay, So second,
- 13:37Speaker 2: the second thing is empower empower others as you grow,
- 13:44Speaker 2: know that all this stuff that you're taking in it
- 13:47Speaker 2: ain't just for you. It ain't just for you. It
- 13:51Speaker 2: is for all those people that you're gonna come in
- 13:53Speaker 2: contact with, because He already know who you coming in
- 13:55Speaker 2: contact with. So everybody that you're gonna come in contact
- 13:59Speaker 2: with everything. You're growing, your growth, your development, your empowerment.
- 14:04Speaker 2: It's gonna help those that you come in contact with.
- 14:06Speaker 2: When you empower yourself and you grow yourself, you're able
- 14:10Speaker 2: to help your family growth. You're able to help your
- 14:12Speaker 2: neighborhood grow, and then you're able to branch out help
- 14:15Speaker 2: your state. You're able to help you the country. Then
- 14:18Speaker 2: you're able to branch out and help the around the globe.
- 14:24Speaker 2: You're able to make an impact. But first you got
- 14:28Speaker 2: to be in power. So empower is a two way
- 14:30Speaker 2: street out It's a two way street. As I have
- 14:34Speaker 2: published my first book, I also hosted virtual writing circles,
- 14:39Speaker 2: sharing resources, encouragement and listening. In a listening ear, I
- 14:45Speaker 2: grew my confidence and knowledge as I lifted others up.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Queen up. Collaboration just dropped in. It just dropped on me.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Somebody just started calling me that one day. Someone just
- 14:55Speaker 2: said they they spoke it over my life. And when
- 14:57Speaker 2: they spoke that over my life, y'all, I begin to
- 14:59Speaker 2: have the move on that. So I begin putting things together.
- 15:02Speaker 2: I begin pulling people together. You know, everything that I do, y'all,
- 15:05Speaker 2: it really it never is about me, but it's about
- 15:10Speaker 2: providing opportunities for other people and opening up doors for
- 15:13Speaker 2: other people, and showing all of us that yes we can,
- 15:18Speaker 2: Yes we can, we can. And I am reminded that
- 15:24Speaker 2: this journey, it was not just to impact, to impact
- 15:31Speaker 2: myself and to impact those around me, but sharing my
- 15:35Speaker 2: story and my resources and other things, y'all, it unlocked
- 15:39Speaker 2: doors to elevate, and it unlocked doors for other people
- 15:44Speaker 2: because you never know, you never know what the next
- 15:48Speaker 2: person may be in need of. You may have that resource,
- 15:51Speaker 2: you may have that little niche that they need, that
- 15:53Speaker 2: little thing that can help them go to the next level,
- 15:56Speaker 2: and the things that they're doing. So when you empower yourself,
- 16:02Speaker 2: I always remember to reach back and help somebody else.
- 16:06Speaker 2: I like to help somebody along the way while while
- 16:08Speaker 2: I'm growing, I like to help somebody grow with me.
- 16:12Speaker 2: I always like to take a few people along with me,
- 16:15Speaker 2: because y'all get lonely up there at the top by yourself.
- 16:19Speaker 2: So I don't want to be at the top by myself.
- 16:21Speaker 2: I want to have I want to have a tribe
- 16:23Speaker 2: that I know got my back and gonna be right
- 16:26Speaker 2: there with me, and we can be pulling for each
- 16:28Speaker 2: other and rooting for each other. That's why I am
- 16:30Speaker 2: so I so love all of the hosts over there
- 16:35Speaker 2: on the Crew podcast. When I tell you we got
- 16:37Speaker 2: each other's back. We're not just podcasters, but we're authors,
- 16:43Speaker 2: we are motivational speakers, we're community leaders. We're out here
- 16:47Speaker 2: impacting the community, we're advocates. We do so much until
- 16:52Speaker 2: we all we just pull on each other. We just
- 16:55Speaker 2: pull on each other and we uplift each other, because
- 16:57Speaker 2: that's what it's all about. You know. I want to
- 16:59Speaker 2: see the last one of my sisters prosper. I want
- 17:02Speaker 2: to see all of them thriving. I want to see
- 17:04Speaker 2: all of them operate and moving in their gifts. And
- 17:08Speaker 2: that's what you can do. In this encouraging stage. You
- 17:12Speaker 2: can encourage other people because writing can be isolating. It
- 17:18Speaker 2: in purpose can sometimes feel daunting. You can feel like
- 17:23Speaker 2: you are the only person on this journey. You can
- 17:26Speaker 2: feel like you're alone, like nobody else is going through
- 17:29Speaker 2: what you're going through. But you're not alone. Trust me.
- 17:33Speaker 2: There were plenty of days I almost gave up, almost
- 17:37Speaker 2: throw in the tower. I said, I'm quitting this, I
- 17:39Speaker 2: don't want to do this no more. I'm telling you
- 17:42Speaker 2: it's plenty of days I said, forget this. I don't care.
- 17:46Speaker 2: They can have that podcast, they can have that magazine,
- 17:49Speaker 2: they can have all of that. I don't want it
- 17:51Speaker 2: no more. I don't want to do it no more.
- 17:53Speaker 2: But I learned that if I wanted change, that I
- 17:57Speaker 2: had to speak that change over my set. I had
- 18:00Speaker 2: to learn to speak affirmations over myself. I had to
- 18:03Speaker 2: learn how to celebrate small wins, and I had to
- 18:06Speaker 2: learn how to be intentional intentional about those things, because
- 18:12Speaker 2: everybody's intention may not be your intention. But if your
- 18:16Speaker 2: intentional about those things that you know God is called
- 18:19Speaker 2: you two, then you can stay on the course. You can't.
- 18:22Speaker 2: We get involved in things, and then we start looking
- 18:25Speaker 2: at what everybody else is doing and how everybody else
- 18:28Speaker 2: is moving. We have to stay focused on ourselves while
- 18:31Speaker 2: trying to help bring people along the way. But you
- 18:34Speaker 2: can take them to the water, but you can't make
- 18:37Speaker 2: them dive in, can't make them swim nor drink. You
- 18:41Speaker 2: can lead them to it, but you can't make them
- 18:44Speaker 2: do anything with it. And that's what I've come to realize.
- 18:48Speaker 2: We can we can take people on this journey with us.
- 18:51Speaker 2: We can allow people to go on this journey with us.
- 18:54Speaker 2: But that's not mean that they're gonna they're gonna live
- 18:59Speaker 2: up to our aspired to do the things just as
- 19:02Speaker 2: you do the passion that you have, or any of
- 19:05Speaker 2: those any of those things. But we have to stay
- 19:08Speaker 2: focused and we have to stay the course. We have
- 19:10Speaker 2: to stay on that path that we know that He's
- 19:14Speaker 2: called us to so and learning that I have to
- 19:22Speaker 2: speak affirmations over myself, celebrate small wins, be intentional, encouraging,
- 19:28Speaker 2: encouraged not only myself but someone else, And not just today,
- 19:32Speaker 2: but every day. We should be doing this every day, y'all.
- 19:35Speaker 2: These things to be part of our life. This should
- 19:38Speaker 2: be a part of our doing. Like every day when
- 19:41Speaker 2: I wake up, y'all, I when I day nine, I
- 19:43Speaker 2: want to be empty. I want to have done everything
- 19:47Speaker 2: that I felt the Creator wanted me to do for
- 19:50Speaker 2: that day. I don't want to leave. I don't want
- 19:53Speaker 2: to leave anything unturned, and I don't want to leave
- 19:55Speaker 2: anything undone. I want to have done everything. So I
- 19:59Speaker 2: tell you, encouragement can sometimes be contagious, but it's a
- 20:03Speaker 2: good contagious. As you lift others, you will rise. Remember
- 20:08Speaker 2: that as you lift others, you will rise. So that
- 20:13Speaker 2: thing that you're looking for God to do for you.
- 20:15Speaker 2: I dare you. I dare you to do it for somebody.
- 20:19Speaker 2: I dare you to sew buy somebody else's book because
- 20:23Speaker 2: you want somebody to buy yours. I dare you to
- 20:25Speaker 2: buy somebody's book. I got two books you can buy
- 20:29Speaker 2: right now. I got two new releases chet and and
- 20:32Speaker 2: in Trevida. They both part of the podcast. They both
- 20:36Speaker 2: over here on the network. They both got new books out,
- 20:41Speaker 2: and y'all can go support them, sow into them as authors.
- 20:46Speaker 2: If you desire to be an author, by their book.
- 20:49Speaker 2: See what they see what they wrote in their book,
- 20:51Speaker 2: See how they wrote their book. See see look at it,
- 20:53Speaker 2: and and look and see what they doing inside of
- 20:56Speaker 2: their book. That's how you become knowledge. Let me let
- 21:01Speaker 2: me give you one example of what one thing that
- 21:04Speaker 2: really pushed me because there was a time when I
- 21:06Speaker 2: didn't know how to publish. I didn't know how to publish,
- 21:09Speaker 2: and I went I attended this I attended this workshop.
- 21:13Speaker 2: But even before I attended this workshop, there was a
- 21:16Speaker 2: young lady. I'd been a part of an anthology and
- 21:19Speaker 2: I wanted to do my own anthology. So I said,
- 21:21Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna get a group together and we're
- 21:23Speaker 2: gonna do an anathology. So I did that, and then
- 21:26Speaker 2: once we got ready to publish, I said, now I
- 21:28Speaker 2: need somebody to publish it for me. So I got
- 21:31Speaker 2: somebody that I thought I knew that was my friend,
- 21:33Speaker 2: but in actuality she stole my book. And then doing that,
- 21:38Speaker 2: you know, I asked God, I wanted to learn how
- 21:42Speaker 2: to do this and show other people how to do
- 21:45Speaker 2: this so that they wouldn't have to go through what
- 21:47Speaker 2: I went through. And I hear all the time people
- 21:50Speaker 2: wanted to charge six hundred dollars to be in an anthology,
- 21:54Speaker 2: five hundred dollars to be in an anthos, even one
- 21:56Speaker 2: hundred and fifty dollars to be in anathology. I mean,
- 21:59Speaker 2: it's just it's ridiculous. Like when you especially when you're
- 22:03Speaker 2: asking for so many people to be a part of something,
- 22:06Speaker 2: it does not take all of that. I say, we're
- 22:08Speaker 2: supposed to be helpmates. Yet we are steady trying to pull,
- 22:12Speaker 2: we're trying to we're trying to take from Peter to
- 22:14Speaker 2: give the power. Were just over here just doing all
- 22:17Speaker 2: kind of stuff that ain't lining up to the word
- 22:20Speaker 2: of God. But we call ourself believers in Christians, but
- 22:24Speaker 2: we're not walking what we're talking. I want to walk
- 22:28Speaker 2: the talk and talk the walk. That's what I want.
- 22:32Speaker 2: Everything need to be coincide. I don't need to be
- 22:34Speaker 2: talking one way and walking one way. I need to
- 22:36Speaker 2: talk and walk the same way. So if I say
- 22:40Speaker 2: I'm gonna help you do something, I'm gonna help you
- 22:42Speaker 2: do it, not finna, not gonna charge you no arm
- 22:45Speaker 2: in the leg to show you how to do something.
- 22:47Speaker 2: Why he gave me a gift in the talent, and
- 22:50Speaker 2: he said that gift in the talent would make room
- 22:51Speaker 2: for you, and we'll make your name great. I can
- 22:55Speaker 2: tell you I may not be great yet, but he's
- 22:57Speaker 2: definitely given me a name. He's definitely given me an outlet.
- 23:00Speaker 2: He's giffiningely, giving me spaces that I never thought I
- 23:03Speaker 2: would sit upon, places that I never thought I would be.
- 23:08Speaker 2: You know, I've spoken in Dubai, I've spoken in Pakistan,
- 23:11Speaker 2: I've spoken in India. I've spoken in so many places
- 23:14Speaker 2: that I've never even stick foot in, but have had
- 23:17Speaker 2: the opportunity to speak. Not just go on a live
- 23:20Speaker 2: and and and and just go live and and and
- 23:23Speaker 2: do like we do over there on TikTok, but actually
- 23:25Speaker 2: had an opportunity to sit and we go back and
- 23:29Speaker 2: forward on a panel and people sit and listen. Had
- 23:32Speaker 2: an opportunity to speak to some youth mentor some youth
- 23:36Speaker 2: out of Africa, and and and just things that I
- 23:41Speaker 2: never thought I would be able to do as as
- 23:44Speaker 2: as a young country girl growing up in South Carolina,
- 23:48Speaker 2: one way in and one way out on the street
- 23:50Speaker 2: where nothing but my family. We we pretty much farmed everything.
- 23:54Speaker 2: We and a lot of the stuff that a lot
- 23:56Speaker 2: of people say they experienced, I didn't experience a lot
- 23:58Speaker 2: of that until I really out in the world and
- 24:01Speaker 2: really got out. Because sometimes you can be sheltered. You
- 24:04Speaker 2: can be you can be sheltered away from some things.
- 24:07Speaker 2: You know. No, I'm not I'm not racist, but I
- 24:11Speaker 2: stand for my black and brown people because what we
- 24:14Speaker 2: have been, we've not Nobody has ever stood for us.
- 24:18Speaker 2: And I am my brother and sister keeper. I want
- 24:21Speaker 2: to see my brothers and sisters thriving. I want to
- 24:23Speaker 2: see them doing what they're supposed to be doing, walking
- 24:26Speaker 2: in their purpose and walking in their purpose good, living
- 24:29Speaker 2: their best life. Why we can't, Why we got to
- 24:32Speaker 2: wait till we get on the other side when he's
- 24:34Speaker 2: we said, when he's said that we can have all
- 24:37Speaker 2: things if we seek him first, we can have all things. So, y'all,
- 24:43Speaker 2: you want to have some things, you got to line up.
- 24:45Speaker 2: You got to put your brand out that you can't
- 24:47Speaker 2: just put the book on the on the wall and
- 24:50Speaker 2: just hold a book in the corner and post it
- 24:52Speaker 2: in a couple of groups and then think that that
- 24:54Speaker 2: is gonna make magic happen. It's not. And then if
- 24:59Speaker 2: you wrote a because you think you about to become
- 25:01Speaker 2: a millionaire, you're not. If you're not gonna do the work,
- 25:05Speaker 2: you're not even gonna you're not even gonna sell a
- 25:08Speaker 2: hundred books before the end of the year. So you
- 25:13Speaker 2: got to put some work in. You have to put
- 25:15Speaker 2: some time in that that that is something you. You
- 25:18Speaker 2: should be proud of books that you write, whether they're
- 25:22Speaker 2: anthologies or their your own personal books, even if they
- 25:25Speaker 2: may not live up to everybody else's expectation. It's yours,
- 25:30Speaker 2: it's your heart, it is what you wanted to share.
- 25:39Speaker 2: So no that your purpose is too important to lead
- 25:46Speaker 2: to chance or fear. You got to use education, empowerment,
- 25:51Speaker 2: and encouragement not only as things in my writing. But
- 25:57Speaker 2: you they gotta be They gotta be a cornerstone to
- 25:59Speaker 2: your life. So I don't just say that I'm gonna
- 26:03Speaker 2: educate myself, y'all. I do it every chance I get.
- 26:07Speaker 2: I'm I'm, I'm, I'm trying to read up on something.
- 26:11Speaker 2: I'm trying to jump on one of these tiktoks. I'm
- 26:14Speaker 2: trying to jump on a Facebook. I'm trying to jump
- 26:16Speaker 2: on something to stay up to date in what is
- 26:19Speaker 2: going on around me. We oftentimes want to say we
- 26:26Speaker 2: too busy, We too busy for this, We too busy
- 26:28Speaker 2: for that. But y'all, you only get one life. You
- 26:32Speaker 2: you only get one life. You can only have one
- 26:35Speaker 2: chance at this. A lot of us we're gonna we're
- 26:38Speaker 2: gonna make excuses until we leave here. We're gonna leave
- 26:41Speaker 2: here in a bag of excuses. When when When, when
- 26:45Speaker 2: they bury us, all those excuses gonna be buried with us,
- 26:51Speaker 2: because that's all we know to do is make excuses.
- 26:54Speaker 2: But I'm reminded by doctor Oh, my brother, Oh. They
- 26:59Speaker 2: always say excuses are other than company. I'm not company.
- 27:02Speaker 2: I got plenty up here. Therefore, I can't make excuses
- 27:06Speaker 2: If I cannot do something I'm gonna tell you that
- 27:09Speaker 2: I cannot do I'm not. That's one thing I don't
- 27:13Speaker 2: like making excuses. I'm not if I can't do it,
- 27:15Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you I can't do it. If I
- 27:17Speaker 2: say I'm gonna do it and then I can't do it,
- 27:19Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you why, what happened, and reason why.
- 27:21Speaker 2: But it ain't gonna be an excuse. And best believe,
- 27:24Speaker 2: I'm gonna press and press and press and press until
- 27:26Speaker 2: I just can't. And that's that's just my morals and
- 27:32Speaker 2: just my values. That's just what I've been equipped with,
- 27:35Speaker 2: what has been placed on the inside of me. So
- 27:36Speaker 2: I try to let that come forth. So I challenge
- 27:40Speaker 2: you on today, no matter where you are on this journey,
- 27:45Speaker 2: the tools that we have been sharing over the last
- 27:47Speaker 2: twenty one day challenge, even these last eight days of
- 27:51Speaker 2: this challenge that we're in right now, these tools would
- 27:55Speaker 2: help you keep moving forward if you utilize them, if
- 28:00Speaker 2: you take advantage of them. I can bring them to you,
- 28:03Speaker 2: I can present them to you, I can put them
- 28:05Speaker 2: in whatever form you want. But unless you apply them
- 28:08Speaker 2: to your life, they will not manifest, they will not
- 28:11Speaker 2: come to life. It's just like believing that you're gonna
- 28:16Speaker 2: get this job but never put in the application. It's
- 28:19Speaker 2: nothing but faith dead faith. So today, let today be
- 28:25Speaker 2: today that you take one intentional step towards learning something new,
- 28:31Speaker 2: empower someone near you, or offer a word of encouragement.
- 28:36Speaker 2: The world is waiting for the difference that only you
- 28:40Speaker 2: can make. Y'all, we all got different DNA know two
- 28:45Speaker 2: of us are the same, and we all play a
- 28:49Speaker 2: part in this universe. That's something that we're all supposed
- 28:53Speaker 2: to be doing. It's not by chance. It's not an
- 28:57Speaker 2: accident that you're tuning in to this, that you're hearing
- 29:01Speaker 2: it as a replay or you're hearing it as alive.
- 29:05Speaker 2: But however you're getting these nuggets. Don't just allow them
- 29:08Speaker 2: to go through your ear in one ear and out
- 29:10Speaker 2: the other. Allow them to resonate, allow them to hit
- 29:14Speaker 2: some substance in there and and and vibrate through your
- 29:17Speaker 2: your being, and allow them to become life. This world
- 29:23Speaker 2: is waiting on you to make a difference. So boldly
- 29:27Speaker 2: step and walk in purpose. And remember you are never
- 29:32Speaker 2: walking alone, You're never walking along. You got eight host

- 30:16Speaker 2: said it. I am a visionary leader in a literary powerhouse.

- 30:28Speaker 2: this creative world. God gave me that gift in that talent,
- 30:32Speaker 2: and he gave it to me to make so that
- 30:35Speaker 2: I can impact life, not to just sit still. He said,

- 40:19Speaker 2: and just call it quits after I don't I've I've
- 40:23Speaker 2: utilized your gift and your talent. That's not me. If
- 40:27Speaker 2: we come in contact with each other, I truly believe
- 40:30Speaker 2: that there was an ordained reason for us connecting, and
- 40:34Speaker 2: unless you break that tie, I'm gonna be here. I'm
- 40:37Speaker 2: gonna be here to support, I'm gonna be here to encourage,
- 40:39Speaker 2: I'm gonna be here to uplift because I believe in
- 40:43Speaker 2: that E three experience and that's educating, power and encourage,
- 40:46Speaker 2: and I want everybody that come in my presence to
- 40:49Speaker 2: feel that ultimate E three experience. I want everybody that
- 40:53Speaker 2: come across my platforms, across my presence and meet me
- 40:56Speaker 2: in person, however we come across each other, when you
- 41:00Speaker 2: leave my presence, I want you to feel that you
- 41:02Speaker 2: have been educated on something, that you know a little
- 41:04Speaker 2: more than you knew before you come in my presence,
- 41:07Speaker 2: that that you are in power, and that you are
- 41:10Speaker 2: encouraged to stay on this journey, because that's what it's
- 41:14Speaker 2: all about. I could care less about fattening my pockets,
- 41:18Speaker 2: because that's a lot of people's agenda is to fatten
- 41:21Speaker 2: their pockets from those that they come in contact with.
- 41:25Speaker 2: God will provide. He will provide. He's never he is,
- 41:30Speaker 2: he is never not provided, even down to my last
- 41:34Speaker 2: He's always provided. So know that it's not about money
- 41:38Speaker 2: over here. Know that it is truly about being that
- 41:42Speaker 2: change that we desire to world. And I lead by example.
- 41:47Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do something. I'm not gonna tell you
- 41:50Speaker 2: to do something that I'm not gonna do, and and
- 41:53Speaker 2: I'm definitely not gonna ask you to do something that
- 41:56Speaker 2: I wouldn't do myself. Huh When when when I was
- 41:59Speaker 2: a manager and worked in these restaurants and worked in
- 42:03Speaker 2: these different places, the bathroom had to be cleaned. I
- 42:06Speaker 2: cleaned it because guess what, I used that same bathroom.
- 42:09Speaker 2: I didn't have a separate bathroom. I had to use
- 42:10Speaker 2: the same bathroom that everybody als you. So I who,
- 42:13Speaker 2: who who am I to not want to clean the bathroom?
- 42:16Speaker 2: I use it, I can clean it. And that's every
- 42:20Speaker 2: job that I've ever worked. Just because I was a
- 42:23Speaker 2: supervisor or I was the manager, did not mean that
- 42:26Speaker 2: I couldn't do what my staff did. And I equipped
- 42:30Speaker 2: them so that they could do my job in the apps,
- 42:33Speaker 2: in my absence, and in the in the and me
- 42:36Speaker 2: having to move, and in them getting positions available when
- 42:39Speaker 2: positions came available. Anybody that ever worked under me will
- 42:42Speaker 2: tell you that they was able to step up in
- 42:44Speaker 2: that position. Why because I equipped them. See one thing
- 42:47Speaker 2: about me is I'm not threatened by my gifts and
- 42:50Speaker 2: my talents because I know that they came from him.
- 42:53Speaker 2: And can't nobody do what he told me to do.
- 42:58Speaker 2: I'm it is, it is what it is. We are
- 43:02Speaker 2: individual people for just that reason. And the gifts and
- 43:06Speaker 2: the talents that he gave you are specifically for you,
- 43:10Speaker 2: and they are to make room for you. They're not
