• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Can you believe that? Babe? Listen, we started this journey
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and you was on episode ten mm hmm, one hundred
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and forty episodes later. Man, Jesus, Jesus, you've been riding
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: long way, the strong way, long long time. But God
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: has been good and it's been time for a change.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: If you had didn't see it, Uh, there's a new logo,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: there is. Uh, it's not a new sound. We kept
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the sound shout out to my cousin YB chosen, Thank
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: God for another day, dude. But the graphics shout out
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: to the goat himself, Marshall Fox. Okay, he supplied us
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: with our look, our new look of our rebrand. You
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: see all that, even our language is being redefined. And
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: so we have been going through a rebranding season and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: we're super excited to let y'all see it now. It
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: was very challenging for me, and I'm having a hard
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: time why a change change, Because the way I looked
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: at rebranding is the fact that I felt like I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: was losing something, like I was losing myself and like
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the language that I had before. I was like, well,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: maybe it doesn't make sense. I was like, it's gonna
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: change the whole outlook of the platform, not necessarily even
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: with Marshall. Now, Marshall, I didn't know. I knew it
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: was gonna be great, but I didn't know the process
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: was gonna be as intense as it was. But then
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: also when he started giving me options of change, it
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, I'm actually doing this, Like
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: I'm actually rebranding this and being very specific and oh
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: my gosh, the logo that I created to start this
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: thing is not going to be the logo anymore, and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: out with the old and with a new, and like
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: it's just it was like I was going through a process.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: It's so interesting because you probably know me by now,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: there's you know when I say certain things, some things
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I won't say, but I knew that I didn't know
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to the extent. I just knew that it was like, Okay,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: this is something that she's gonna have to even though
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: we're in partnership, right, Yeah, I knew this was gonna
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: be a process that was more so for Jessica then
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: for the platform as a whole. Yeah, And so when
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: things were coming through, she was like, you see this,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: what you think about this? I was like, I think
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it's great, because at the end of the day, I
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: wanted I wanted it to be I wanted you to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: know that what you were choosing was okay, and that's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: what God wanted it to be like, it's not like
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: it wasn't hey, I'm losing a thing. It's no, we're upgrading,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: and that is right. But even in that, like the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: old idea of rebranding, it was like something was Sometimes
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you can go in there and look like it was
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: something was wrong. But I also understand that I'm learning
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: in this season that God is not just rebranding the podcast.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: God is rebranding me. And what that looks like is
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: he posed a question for me, would God present me
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: in the way I'm presenting myself right now? That so
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: y'all that question, would God present you the way that
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: you're presenting yourself? And that's how you know it's time
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: for a rebrand, Like I had to, like the scripture
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: we're going to get in today to support this idea
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is like so phenomenal because I never looked at it
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: like this. But even as because I don't want to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: dismiss what just what didn't happen, I did not say
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that this was a safe space for influences to decompress,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: have fun and just ask because of the brand, and
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: when rebranding, you have to make sure that you have
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: the proper language. And if I'm honest, I don't know
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: if I found the proper language. I know something. I
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: know the part where I shared with you guys last
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: week at we talked to talk to people right, We
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: deal with people that well when we post a question,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: does God trust us? Right? I want this to be
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: a safe space for people in search of God trusting them. Right?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: How do you eloquently put that? I don't know, because
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you're taught in this world, especially with me being a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: morning meetup member, will now a Social Proof Circle member.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: It's they tell us our X y Z statement, you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: to have a target, so people go, I'll just be
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: honest with y'all. This is a moment honesty I'm talking about.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: George told me that I needed to target, like say,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: it's women. But I'm like, and I told Dave this,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think I talked to you about this. So
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: I talked to Dave about it and I said, well,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the analytics are telling me that this that I need
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: to like verbally target women. And I was like, of course,
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: naturally I was uncomfortable with that, but I was like, okay, lord,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: if this is what I'm gonna do, this is what
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say. But I was also not comfortable with
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the fact that I was targeting women because I know
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: men watch this too, but also I helped men on
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the in the background, Like there are more men that
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I help in a podcast in field than it is
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that I do women. You know what I'm saying, Like,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: so I know I'm not just called women, but I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: know spiritually developing women. Yes, that's a that's a target
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: in that area, but maybe not the podcasting world. So
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I was talking to Dave about it on one of
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: the Q and A days and he told me I
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: was overthinking it. He told me I was overthinking it,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and he told me no, like that wasn't a good
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: enough answer or reason for me to target with women
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: because of my analytics. So I was just like, and
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: maybe he didn't say it, just like that, so don't
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: quote me on that. But that was the synopsis that
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I got, Like I need to go back to the
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: drawing board, like, but I do need to know, like, okay,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: is it believers. I know they're believers, but okay, but
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I also talked to nun believers Like this whole appreciating
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: the evolution of Jessica is being is interesting. It's interesting.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: What do you think I think it's almost kind of
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: when you when you when you step into like the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the branding and marketing space, when they be like when
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: they talk, hey, what's your avatar? You know, like who
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: are you targeting? That kind of thing, And I think
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: sometimes we don't want to say, oh, it's this person
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: because we feel like it's going to exclude everybody else.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: But I do feel like whatever that is for you,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: what whoever that person is, it just it gives a specificity,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: specificity of it makes it more specific for that person, specalificity,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: whatever that is, specificity, speecics, doll. It makes it more
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: specific for that person. Okay. But what that does also
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: with that, it does not mean that, hey, branding can
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: receive from the information, you know what I'm saying. It
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean that, oh, because it's a black female that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Sally can't receive from that information, like that Sally, Rachel,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you know, Bickie whatever, can't receive from the information. It's just, Hey,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I know that this person right here, the message I
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: have is specifically for her, But that doesn't mean anybody
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: else can't receive from that. Well. Dave's rebuttal to that
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: was that if I let's say I don't open up
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: like something like I've been opened up with this is
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: a safe space with influences degal resident But it just
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: as right with my podcast opener. If let's say I
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: don't do that, because there are plenty of podcasts that don't.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Dave doesn't do that, but we know that he's targeted
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: entrepreneurs because he brings entrepreneurs on, right, he has language
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: for entrepreneurs. I'm trying to, like, I know when I
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: when I think about my avatar or whatever who I
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: helped tip, I think about a woman, right, I think
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: about a woman in the between the ages of twenty
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: five and forty four, right, that because I can relate
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: to that woman, like I can talk to that. I
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: got language for that woman, right, And typically that woman
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: is older than me, so I can't really just say that.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: But there's married women, there's you know, single women, there
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: are mothers that it goes, it goes into all these things.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: So I'm like, but I carry a language for a
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: specific people. I know it's very specific because there's a
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: specific type of people that come to me and they're hungry,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: like it's a different level of hunger, Like they're beyond
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the basic thing, they're ready for the next level. What
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: do I identify those people at? Like ass you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: so that's what I'm like, okay in this podcasting game
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and not being so hyper spiritual, but being practical enough
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that people understand, oh, this is for me, because that's
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: what they would tell you. Your people got to know
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: that you're talking to them, this is the space for them, right.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: That's why Omar using Omar as example, he knows people
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: like people the creators, business owners that need help with
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: content creation. That's his that's his people. But he doesn't
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: go on and start saying yo yo yo. Of course
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: he would never say yo yo yo, but he doesn't
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: introduce the podcast like that. So I'm also thinking about,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: you know, letting it be what it is, like just yo,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: it's you know, it's your girl, Jessica and Smith and
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you have entered the safe space. So you say, so
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: are they not influencers? Yeah? But you know George was
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: talking about are they not influencers? Yes? And yes? And
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: George challenged me on that, saying that he questioned me
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: on am I doing providing language for the influencer? Like
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: am I providing language for an insponcer? Or am I
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: providing language? George thinks I should go with women. Am
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I providing language for women? So it's I've been rediscovered.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: But the thing is, I'm proud of myself because I'm
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: open to what that looks like with that sounds like,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's a beautiful thing to watch because I'm
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: not the same Jusica one hundred and fifty, I mean,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty nine episodes, go, It's not this
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: is true. I'm not the first episode, Jessica. I'm not
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: even the hundredth episode, Jessica. The one hundredth episode, Jessica
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: was still going through something. Shout up, Misstail, we love you, Missay,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: appreciate you. That was a good episode. But yeah, so
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the LAWD has been dealing with me on the being
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: open with the rebranding and taking myself to the next level,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: allowing myself to go there. Yeah, and I think it's
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I think what's really dope about it is you made
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a decision to take yourself and what the Lord has
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: given you seriously. Yeah, so you can be more open
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: to this journey now because honestly, like I knew this
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: early on with the as you were like getting information
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: about podcasts and things like that. I said, I always
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: know it's it's always typically the thing that your call
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: to do is and most of the time to start
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: with you, right, So just to watch you evolve and
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: let go of some things and learn some things, go deeper.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: And now we're here at a at a at a
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: full rebrand. I think it's kind of dope. I'm excited.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I'm excited to look like I mean, I know what
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: the what the rebrand looks like, but I'm talking about
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: the fruit from the thing, yeah, and navigating through that.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: But I also want to want people to know like
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: there's an opportunity for to not lean on having all
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: of it figured out. Just shit, I know people do
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: different things like desil Rain is a type where all
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: the systems got to be figured out. Everything has to
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: be panned out now certain certain areas. Yes, everything pretty
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: much has to be figured out and laid out and
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: play mapped out loosely. I'm the I'm the one that'll
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: go this idea, let's execute it like so we help
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: you help each other balance. It's like rein it in
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Jessica before before you go do it. And that's a
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: lot of reason why I bounced uff off deserrat because
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I know if it's not time to leap our hole
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: our even like I I'll hold myself until it's time
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: to go. But it's been a couple of times. So
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: she was like, go ye, Like what if I say
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: if she's like, why you ain't doing it today? So
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I know then I'm like, oh, okay, this is something
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I just need to go go edit. And so I
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: was asking God. I was like, how I said, I
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: feel like I want you you want I want you
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to He wants us to be like open about this
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: rebranding process and how it's being But of course, always
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: if the Lord wants to do something, he always shows
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: you in scripture. And I love the way the Lord
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: talks to me in scripture, Baby, I love I love
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: the way. So shout out my sister Kendall. She kept
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: hearing Esther not too long ago, and I never consider
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: going back to reading Esther or whatever. But I'm currently
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: studying this as we're recording today, I'm currently studying this.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: And so today the Lord sent me back to back
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: to the fourth chapter of Esther and I'm just gonna read.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna kind of give us a synopsis of
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: what's going on in this fourth chapter. So Esther has
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: been made in the previous chapter. In chapter three, Esther
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: has been made well. No, in chapter two, Esther was
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: made queen. And then in chapter three Hayman is given
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: his his authority and trusted by the king to do
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: whatever to manage the Jews. In so many words, he
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: wanted to manage Jews. He was out for the Jews
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: x y Z. And so now Mordecai, who is Esther's cousin,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: he presents himself in sack, costs and ashes, and he's
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: only so he's only able to go so far to
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: the gate because they don't there's a law against being
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: able to be seen in sorrow. That's a whole nother thing.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: That's a whole nother thing. There's a law against being
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: seen in sorrow, so a mourning. And so he's in
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: these sack cloths and ashes, as other Jews are, but
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: he's the one that's actually, you know, going towards the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: gate and he's being seen. And word gets back to Esther,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: and so Esther is like, hey, go tell. He's like,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: go ask him, why did you tell? Did you say? Why?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: He was like that. Why he was mourning. He was
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: mourning because Hayman was after the Jews, right, there was
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: a decree. It was a decree made against the Jews.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: And so he's mourning this because Hayman really out to
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: kill the Jews, right, And so he's mourning this and
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: Esther sin's word, and I ain't gonna lie, I said, Lord,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: I got a word about the middleman, because the whole
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: time the communication only happened because somebody was in the middle.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: But that's another word for another day. So the middle
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: man hits her unuch, right or was it the King's unit?
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I think it was. It might have been the King's
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: unit oneted the two, but the unit was somebody assigned
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: to her. Though it was somebody assigned to her. Yeah,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: So the unit went back and forth as a messenger,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: delivering these messages. So when I say, Esther told Mordecai
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and Mordecai, so Esther it was through the unit, right.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: And so Esther tries to figure out why, why is
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the Why is Mordecai morning like this? Why is it?
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: Why is Mordecai and ashes and sackcloth? So Mordecai tells
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: her what's going on as far as Hayman, and which
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: she started to fear because now she remembers that she's
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a Jew. She remembers she she knows that she's a Jew,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: but she's not. It's a secret between her and Mordecai, right,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And so they're going back and forth, and basically Ester's like, no,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: fear comes upon her, like no, He's requested that she
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: goes talk to the king and tell him what's going on.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: She says, no, do you understand that there's a law,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: there's another decree out there to say you would die
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: if you try to go talking to the king without
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: being some, without being some and right. And so he
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: was like, he goes down. And in thirteen I tried
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: to catch it up because I ain't want to read
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: that all that to y'all. But in verse thirteen or
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: four Esther four or thirteen, it says Mordecai told the
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: messengers to reply to Esther, don't think that you will
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: escape the fate of all the Jews because you are
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: in the king's palace. Fourteen says if you keep silent
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: at this time, relief and deliverance will come to the
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Jewish people from another place. But you and your father's
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: family will be destroyed. Who knows. Perhaps you have come
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: to your royal position for such a time as this. Okay,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of people use that reference of Mordoca saying
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: you have come here for a time such as this,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: as you know, like just reminding people of who they are.
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: And so I was like, God, why are you sending
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: why are you sending me to Esther to connect with rebranding. Well,
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: if you understand the process of Esther, if you go
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: back the first few chapters, you understand that Esther was
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: in a beauty program. Id say, in a beauty program.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: She was un a beauty intensive and she could not
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: come as the Esther as she once was. So her
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: rebranding process started in secret, but the exposure came when
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: there was an opportunity where that was suffering as we
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: as we called it, there was an opportunity for her
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to show what has been rebranded, and so in that
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: the Lord was showing me for one Mordecai. Mortdecai is saying, hey,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: your what happened for your good is not just for you,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: and you can't lose your core in it. It says
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: right here, it says, don't you think that they don't
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: think that you escape the faith of all Jews. Why
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: because she was what she was, a Jew, a Jew.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: So just because it's almost like when people say, don't
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: forget where you came from, type my mentality, like, don't
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: think that this, don't disrupt your your situation, don't think this,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: don't disrupt what you got going on. The reason why
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: the Lord has you in this space is because the
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: core of you is going to revitalize our nation. It's
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: going to re establish a nation. So when we think
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: about rebranding, we have to ask God, Okay, not only
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: am I with God present me in this way? Of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: would God present me in the way I am presenting myself?
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: But is it time for me to present myself in
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: this way? Right? Because there was a time for Esther.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: He didn't ask us to go to the king any
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: other time, but for the time it was needed. So
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: now that you've prepared, we can't rebrand anything that wasn't branded.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: We can't re means to do again right, And so
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: we can't rebrand anything. Just ass cannot be rebranded. It
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: cannot have a new look, it cannot have a new sound,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: it cannot have any of that without having the core
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: and intact right. And a part of Esther's core was
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: that she was a Jew. She could not change that
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: she was a Jew her DNA. If they tested the blood,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: it's gonna go back to what Jews right. Her beautification,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: how it was dressed up was the rebrand So I
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: think that the fear that some of us have with
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: rebranding is that there's a disruption with who we are. No,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: as Desiree said earlier, there's an elevation to who we are.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Because watch this, Desiree, I'm gonna say this, and it's
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: gonna bless me and you again. I heard the Lord say,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: God is not rebranding you to alter the core of you,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: but so that you can get into the King's palace.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: God is not rebranding you to alter the core of you,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: but for you to get into the King's palace. If
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Esther was never rebranded with her you self, well you self,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: that would have closed the door on her opportunity to
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: enter into a new territory that was forbidden unless summon right.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: She want to have the tactics, nor the class, nor
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the access the rebranding, watch this just just as is
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: gonna get access now to things that I don't I'm
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: not even sure about, but he showed me that. He's like, hey,
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: you don't forget that you're a Christian. Don't forget that
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: you're a believer. And because that we we understand this
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: to be our core, that our faith. I don't care
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: who we call to. Faith gonna be a part of Okay,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: faith is gonna be a part of it. Will He'll
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: give us elevated language for the rooms that we're entering in.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: But this, this rebranding shows people like, oh, she real serious,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Like y'all thought I was serious before this rebranding. For one,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: it had a budget to this is the most I've
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: spect on, just asked. Definitely had a budget. And and
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: watch this, we're not we're not monetized for real yet
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: we're monetized, but we're not bringing a lot of income
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: as other amazing podcasters are right now. And I think
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: that once you put yourself in the mind said it
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: was like, this is God's business, He'll make room for
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: when it's time. Because could I rebranded at one hundred episodes,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I probably could have. Could I really branded at fifty episodes?
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I did something. We had a new something, you know,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, something was new. But I think that
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: remembering that God uses the core of us and dresses
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: it up different for the time, for the timing, and
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: he uses that as an advantage for not only yourself,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: but the people that you're connected to, even the people
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: that you might not know. We have to manage to
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: do it that will. I thought that was really dope.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: The dope thing about what happened is if you understand
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: a decree, a decree is when the king sets out
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: a decree that is law, you know what I'm saying.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: So to be in a position where you have the
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: access to go in into change a decree is powerful.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: So that's what So when he says you were you were,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: you were created for such a time as this, this
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: is the time, like literally like this time right here.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Like yes, you could have, like we said, fifty episodes ago,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: one hundred episodes ago, we could have done that, But
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: there's a there's a Cairo's time in the Lord and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: in that appointed that's an appointed time. That time right
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: there is what he's already sat on the calendar. So
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: that's why the obedience is important, like to as we
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: journey along, That's why the obedience is supported because that
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: time right there was waiting for her to step into obedience.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: I love that if fourteen says, if you keep silent
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: at this time, relief and deliverance will will come to
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: the Jewish people. So that means that even if you
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: don't do what you need to do right now, the
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Lord still will deliver us. But he's gonna use someone else,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna punish you for not being obedient. Some
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: of us are stuck in the old brands because we're
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: afraid of losing something. Some of us have have fought
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the idea of elevation because it requires change. Yeah, that's
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: exactly what I was thinking about. The you know, as
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: you as you journey and you go from let me
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: say glory, Yeah, but when you elevate, it's a different weight,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: it's a different responsibility from when you were down here.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: And I can say for myself, I've hesitated or been
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: stuck in a space because of the fear of the elevation,
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: because of what was gonna be required for you know
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like it requires as she went through
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: that process, once she got into the palace, it required
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: more of her. Yeah, you know, what I'm saying. So,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: but it's it's not something that that she couldn't handle.
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: It's not something that she didn't have the wisdom and
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: the knowledge to be able to do. She knew like, oh,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: if I go ahead, you're gonna chop my head off, right,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: But hey, y'all, let me tell you what we do.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: She's what she tells them to do. She said, hey,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: we're gonna fast. We're gonna fast, and then one as
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: fast as over, I'm gonna go in there. Yeah, it
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: was strategy. It was only it was only because she
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: had been obedient and that she knew what she was
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: what she was supposed to have been. That's so good.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I think that navigating that, And like you said, strategy,
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: strategy is always important. Strategy what the thing is. Strategy
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: has specifics. When she said, hey, we're gonna it, says
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: hold On the reply from Esther Woods. Esther sent the
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: reply to Mordecai, go and assemble all the Jews who
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: can be found in Suso and fast for me. Don't
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: eat or drink for three days night or day. I
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: am I I am a female, and my female servants
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: were also fast in that same way. After that I
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: will go to the king, and if it's a get
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: well after that, I will go to the king, even
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: if it is against the law. If I perish, I perished.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: So Mordecai went and did everything Esther had commanded him
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: to do right. So in that they made before they
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: acted upon, this is where desiree would come in. This
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: would be my DESI rae okay, because Mordecott was like,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: just go up there. I'm Mortercott, just go up there,
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: because this ain't gonna work. But desilt rays Esther says,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: we're gonna wait three days, and in the three days,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: we're gonna do something that activates the solution. Strategy. Strategy
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: activates solution Why are we bringing this up? Rebranding require strategy.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: We've been had this new logo. But instead of me
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: being hyper focused on oh my gosh, we got a
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: new logo, just put it out. No, no, no, no, just
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: go bring it back, bring it back. She ain't have
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: to do me like this six times. Yeah, bring it back.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: We need to align with the logo to align with
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: what we're about to dudes, were to align with what
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: we have, we have to package it right. We have
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: to put it out at the right time it needs to.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: We need to ask ourselves these questions, what does this
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: look like now we have a new look, What does
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: it sound like now we have a new sound, What
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: is the language to that sound like? What are we
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: keeping and what are we leaving behind? And sometimes that
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: is a very uncomfortable place to be in in a
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: rebranding stage. But if we never rebrand, we never evolve.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: So I'm curious what what made what gave you the
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: the unction or the idea or the feeling that it
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: was time to rebrand? Like? What made you know that
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: it was time? Honestly, I knew eventually it was coming
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: because I needed to do some some I have to
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: be careful what I'm saying right now. I had to
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: handle some business on the back end. And in order
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: to handle that business, I had to have someone that
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: had access to and the and the language and vision
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: that could build a look that had legacy. And I
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: know my strengths and I know my weaknesses, and I
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: knew it was time for us because this logo, this
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: logo is timeless. That was one of my requirements. I said,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I wanted to look like a Coca Cola or a
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: McDonald I need. I need to have just an effortless,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: timeless logo that can work for any season that I'm in.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: So now I honestly don't believe that that my logo
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: gonna have to change like I did it intentionally, not
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: because I was trying to be cheap, but because it
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: only makes sense to tweak the certain things. But it
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: only makes sense because I'm in this for a moment,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like I'm gonna have just
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: asked for a while until the Lord say be done
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: with it, you know, And that logo is gonna go
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: with me, That brand is gonna go with me. And
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: so when we go on stages or when we have
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: these big events, we're already prepared for the wha the
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: Lord is taking us. And so I really feel the
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: weight of expansion. Wow, I really feel the weight of
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: expansion on what we have here to where now it
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: looks like what God is trying to promote. Was it
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: hard to allow somebody else to do that? I don't.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think it was hard for me because I
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: trust Marshall. I was nervous. I was nervous because Marshall
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: is the go y'all. If y'all just understand it. Ben't
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: know what he's doing. You know, he's responsible for Social
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: Poodle podcasts, He's responsible for all of Eric Thomas the
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: hip hop Preacher. He's responsible for his brand and branding
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: and what that looks like. He's responsible for e cam,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the branded for e cam, y'all, Wicks dot com. The dude.
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: The dude is like an ambassador or something like that,
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: like Marshall Fox is that guy. And I was more
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: nervous because I wanted to make sure I was a
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: good client to him, and I didn't want to get
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: on his nerves. But really he enjoyed the feedback, Like,
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: he really enjoyed the feedback. And so I told him afterwards,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I see why this cost so much. I see why
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: because you're really particular about making sure people have what
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: they want. I'm completely satisfied, completely satisfied. So I was
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: more so nervous about me than him. I was wanting
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: to make sure that I wouldn't get on his nerves.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: So knew that he wouldn't want me to settle either,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: and so he's he's just excited as we were, like,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: so I'm really excited about this, about this evolution, about
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: this change because I had I did. I invested in
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the right person. I did, I did my research. I
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: want to. I don't think I would have been comfortable
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: or trusted someone else to do that he did. He did.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: What was it like for you to navigate through this
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: process even though it was mine to go through? I
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: think kind of like you said, the just watching the
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: level of excellence and and the level of excellence even
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: with like from a customer service standpoint, you know what
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. He could have been easy, like I had
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: we had this point just to something, you know what
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: I'm saying. But he wasn't. He each each go around
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: he made sure he's like, oh, thanks for the feedback.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm look at this. You know, what do you
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: think about this? Has I put this in here? What
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: do you think about that? And So I enjoyed the
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: process one watching you decide and choose and stand on
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: what it was that you liked and the things that
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: you necessarily and didn't like or wanted to see tweetd
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: and things like that. But also, like I said, just
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: a level of excellence on the back end. You know,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I can't I've been talking about I can't go nowhere
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: and just be regular most times because I'm always watching
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: like it's something about processes and how and how things
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: are done and how people do things is just what's
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: the word. I'm curious about it, you know. And so
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: just to watch that, I was like, man, that is
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: so cool because you can always take take a piece
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: of a process and add it into something that you're doing. Yeah.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: So it's like that level of intentionality, like how can
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: I pick that up and put it in my pocket? Yeah,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: and use that towards like even what we're doing. Yeah,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: I think this process has made me take Okay, so
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like every fifty I've experienced something new. Right,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: So the first fifty it was like okay, now the sound.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: It was the sound and I was trying to get
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: it was my cousin why be chosen, it's his artistry name.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: But I was telling him, I was like, I need
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: to come with a sound or whatever, not knowing that
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: the song I had been vibing to was literally the
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: sound the Lord. Because I kept telling him, I said
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I need something like this. The Lord was just like
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: this is it? Why are you? You know? We was trying,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: We was working so hard to try to make a
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: theme song, but I knew it was the sound for that,
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: and so when he allowed us to, he's still allowing
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: us to use his song as our theme song, which
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: is important to me. So okay, now we got our
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: sound and then and then episode one hundred. For me,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: when we got to episode one hundred, it it got
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: it made me feel like or it made me understand
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: the level of exposure that the Lord was gonna give us.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: It might not come through numbers, thank you, Holy Spirit.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: Exposure means to be visible, and we the visibility that
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: we've gotten. Like people, I'm gonna say this without there
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: there are people that think that just because the numbers
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: aren't there means that they're not being seen, that they're
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: not visible. But as you continue to show up, people
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: might not support you, people might not subscribe you, but
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: they see you for miss tabbed like even that was
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: that was before that happened between episode fifty episode one
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: hundred where mistap Yeah, I was looking and she goes
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: to the country and saying, oh, okay, let me pick you.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Let's let's do this, and then she says, yes, let's
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: be on the podcast. Like that's a level exposure. Yeah,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: that was being seen. But I'm still you know, I'm
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: still growing from that moment. So now I feel like
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: the Lord is putting a label on the sound and
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: the sight. That's what one hundred and fifty is. He's
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: labeled the sound and the site. That's good. But I
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: think about one hundred for me, it was it was
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: looking back at the decision to be consistent for me,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: right even through the processing that you know, the trials
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: and the ups and downs and all these things, and
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: I'm just like it was for me it was like
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: a record to be able to look back and like, dang,
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: but Lord, you was even through all of that, like
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: he was still there, like I can remember, you know,
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: some struggle episodes, struggling like we showed up but still
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: having to deal with life, you know what I'm saying.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: So it was an appreciation even and even as we
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: celebrate one fifty, still the same thing. It's just an
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: appreciation of this this elevation, this exposure, this thing that
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: that it's only God like like we've made it this
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: far through consistency and by the grace of the Lord
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: and his leading, you know, yeah, because it's looked different
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: at every stage, Like even the fact that we have
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: what we need, there are still more things that we
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: need and desire because the Lord has continued to push
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: us and now God is allowing us to do this
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: for other people like I would. I'm glad we're a
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: sweet spot to where we're much further along to more people.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: But we still got a long way to go, and
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: we're not too detached from the work. Like it's not
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: shout out to JAYL Grom and Felicia Why I was
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: finding Felicia Roper, who's on our team that is making
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: a lot of the things behind the scenes happen. You
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: don't get that without consistency. It made us be exposed
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: to them, you know what I'm saying. And so just
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: is ran by women, there is ran by women. He okay,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: and hands down, couldn't do it without the team God
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: has blessed us with. But God wouldn't have blessed us
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: with that if we did not handle where He gave
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: us in our hands. Originally and then also with the rebrand.
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: Gave me the boldness to say, Okay, I'm going to invest.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I made that first investment. Now I'm investing in part
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: of the team. You know what I'm saying, it's like, Okay,
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: we're doing this for real, like this is a business.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: And when Donny Wigan said that the first podcast summit
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: was like the problem is that y'all treating is like
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: a habit and not a business, that shook me up.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: So now I'm like seeing the fruit of treating this
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: like a business even though it didn't feel like a business.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Now it feels like a business, like it really does.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Like I don't know, I'm proud of me if nobody
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: else was to say and I'm proud of me, I'm
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: proud of you. I'm proud of you. Any final thoughts, girl,
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: I know this one is short, but that's really what
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: I wanted to share with you guys, is that you know,
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna going back to the question that God opposed
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: to me, like, uh, would God present me in the
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: way that I'm presenting myself right now? And sometimes it's
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: not you're not presenting yourself in a bad way, but
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: is it a God way? And God's way is always
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: gonna outweigh the way that we think is good because
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: His goodness is always better than ours. And so that's
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: my that's my question. What else you got to say?
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: I was just say to not be fearful, to not
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: be fearful of the next thing, because that's real, right,
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: especially when you when you're journeying with the Lord. You know,
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: even though you have journey and you can see you
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: can see his track work and everything like that, when
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: you know the weight of what he has on your
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: life and where he's taking you, it can it could
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: It could pose. It could pose a moment of like
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: do I want to keep doing this? Do I want
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: to keep suffering? You know what I'm saying. I can
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: be regular, but you really can't be regular because then
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: that's another cost. So you're gonna pay one one way,
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: and you might as well just uh, let the Lord
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: pay the bill, all right, Glory to God. I'm screaming, y'all.
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: We want to know because we started this thing off
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: saying like I'm confused if I want to do the
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: influencer thing or whatever. Why do you show up to
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: Just ask the podcast what makes you keep coming? Let
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: us talk about it in the chat, like what how
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: do you identify yourself? And what brings you here? Because
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: we really want to know because it's important to have
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: the language for the future. It's important for the have
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: the language for the next leg of the journey. And
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: if we're not producing that language us because we're not
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: managing or stewarding what God has given us will and
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: so we're always in research of doing better. We're always
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: in research and doing what thus says the Lord. And
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: so there's a reason why you was here. There's a
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: reason why you stayed until the end, and we appreciate that.
• 42:16
