• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I'm going to do that cinnamon. How's your week?
• 0:46

• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the morning, so it's like 40 degrees when I get up.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Jeez.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: By the time the afternoon is like 70 degrees, I'm like, yo,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: what's the word?
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: I need to build this day, man. We got you
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: on the mic. Yeah, how was your week? My week
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: is good. So I just stay in focus every day.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: And so let me say something real quick to everybody
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: listening right now. So whatever you're going through, whatever you're
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: trying to accomplish, keep going. Don't stop because things got difficult.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Don't stop because you don't see the results yet. Definitely
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: don't stop because somebody else doesn't understand the vision that
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: you have for your own life. Sometimes the biggest thing
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: standing between you and where you want to be isn't failure,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: it's distraction. Distractions can come in a lot of different forms. People, relationships, opinions, drama,
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: social media, trying to keep up with what everyone else
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: is doing. If you're not careful, you could get caught
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: up watching everybody else's journey that you lose focus on
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: your own.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: So stay focused. I have to learn how to say
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: that's not for me right now. I have somewhere I'm
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: trying to go. Everybody doesn't need to understand your decision.
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: Everybody doesn't have to agree with your direction. Sometimes you
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: have to make your decision. That's good for your future,
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: even if it's uncomfortable for your present. And remember this,
• 2:17
  Speaker 5: slow progress is still progress. You might not be where
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: you want to be yet, but if you're still moving,
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: you're still in the fight. So don't quit.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Take a breath.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Refocus.
• 2:29
  Speaker 5: Get yourself back on track. Whatever that goal is that
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: you've been thinking about. Whatever you've been putting off. Whatever
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: you've been telling yourself you're going to start tomorrow. Start it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: Start that shit. Keep going. Because you never know how
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: close you are to your breakthrough.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Minus. Minus.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: That's a good way to start the episode off. You know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: bringing the energy and moving feet. Providing a message and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: what we trying to provide for the people, you know.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: And what we all about, you know. All about thriving, like,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: not just surviving. So, stick with your guns and forward,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, keep on blazing.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: As we get into this week's distraction, man. Seeing that Wendy's.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: What Wendy's do now?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: So, Wendy's is closing about 300 locations. Whoa. due to bankruptcy.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Bankruptcy? I'm a large franchisee owner.
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: Wendy's?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, the lovely Wendy's. You feel me?
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: What?
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Now, you remember when Wendy's used to have the yellow
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: cartons back in the day?
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's when it was still good.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's when it was fire. I heard that they're
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: bringing it back around and stuff.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: That's what they need to do.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: And it was trying to revamp some things, but this
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: closing with a couple stores is kind of crazy. But
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: not only... That's not the only distraction. You got Starbucks.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Starbucks? They closing about 250 stores. Yo, what's going on?
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Why they closing? They going through bankruptcy too?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: They got like a reconstruction for the company that they doing.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: They trying to re-strategize.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: A little revamp?
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. It's only about 1% of their stores. They got
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: about 18,000 locations in America. They going to be alright.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: It's just a little strange.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: You know, It's just a continuation with a lot of
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: these stores that be closing. It's not just be one
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: or two. It's like hundreds.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Hundreds.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: So, like, catch people off track, you know, and people
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: be wondering, you know, is it about all the stores
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: about to close? Or, you know.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Are they going out of business? Is it going on? Like, no.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: What's the numbers on Starbucks? But they got, like, 1,800 stores. 18,000.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: 18,000.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Wow. Yeah.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: Okay. Yeah. That changes the game. What's 200 stewards? 300?
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: 200 stewards?
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't think it's anything to worry about. You know,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: they got people getting distracted by it. You know, what's
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the most distractions you got going on this week?
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: Well, my distraction is more like a life distraction. You know,
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: it's called the convenience spend. You know, we all have them.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: You know, that person that calls us when They in
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: a messed up mood. They down bad. They need help.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: They need an ear to listen. They need a shoulder
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: to cry on. We be there for that person. But
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: that person be never there for us.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: And it's more than just a bad relationship. This is
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: where it becomes a distraction because it takes your actual energy.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Because you know you care about this person. It might
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: be a loved one, X, Y, Z, someone close to you.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: You love this person. So you reserve an X amount
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: of energy to comfort them when they down bad. You
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: could be using that energy for something more productive or
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: someone more productive. Someone instead of bringing you the problem,
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: they're bringing you solutions. They're bringing you building creative energy,
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: something that's synergy. Instead of just like, hey, they always like,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: we all got these problems. You know, we all got
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: life problems and stuff like that. But different people don't
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: just dump it on you. And then it's like, you
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: don't get the reciprocation on that.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: You know?
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: So that's a real distraction that we all go through.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: So has there been any times in your life where
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: you had this convenience, friend, and you realized for what
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: it was or did the situation get too crazy where
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: you was like, I got to cut it off?
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely had a couple situations where it's like, quote,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the energy deposits that we all have. And if you
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: give out your energy, too much of your energy deposits,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: what you're going to have left for yourself. You feel me?
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And you find yourself being drained mentally by certain situations
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: where it's like, I got to put my hands up
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: that back from this situation. And I no longer can
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: help you with this situation because at this point, I'm
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: enabling you to continue with your bullshit, your nonsense. You
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: know what I mean? So it's like, it comes to
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a point where it's like, I got to worry about
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: my energy and my situation. Like you said, I got
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: to worry about good people, people that's going to be
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: pouring back into my deposits, you know? That's how it's
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: supposed to be. Like you said, the reciprocation. Supposed to
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: be able to work with each other. But if you
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: find yourself in situations where people are draining, they're suffering this,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: you know?
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And it gets to a point where it's just like,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I got to go my separate way and not saying
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that we might have beef or anything, but it's just like,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I no longer have you in my sight for like that,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: you know, and it'd be some shit where it's like,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: I see you when I see you, we get up
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: for certain events and all that, but nah, like I'm
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: not about to be around you.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I already know what type of energy, type of vibe
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: you have, you know?
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: So.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Nah, that's the fact, you know, and to add another thing,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: it depends on After you talk to them. You know.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: After the first couple conversations.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Do you feel.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: More like yourself. Or do you feel like. Less than yourself.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Do you feel drained. Or do you feel fulfilled.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: After these conversations.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: Because.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: That's a good indicator. To decide. If you want to identify. Whether.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: You got convenience. Friends in your life. So yeah. Get
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: that distraction.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Out the way.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Or.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: So. He's saying. With the streamer. His name's. Caliber. Caliber. Caliver? Yeah,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: so Caliver, so he's been reported with charged with rape, drugging,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and furnishing alcohol to minors. And he recently had a stream,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: a couple streams with, you know, there's some little foul
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: things going on there. So one of the videos that
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: recently went viral, he got a video of him at
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: like a party or something, at a house party, and
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: he's pouring milk on a girl, and he's punching her
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: in the face, and he's he's just doing a lot
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: of foul, foul stuff. And then there's also another video
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that went viral with him giving drugs to a minor
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: as well. You know, girl was 17. He was 19
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: at the time. And he's being found, you know, he's getting,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: he's locked up right now for that. I just feel
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: like guys like this, you know, got too much privileges
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: in their life, you know.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: What the hell?
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Too much money, too much, you know, that silver spoon,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I call it, you know. And, they feel like they're
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: invincible and feel like they can just do whatever they want.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I feel like it's a lot of these streamers and
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: content creators that just feel like they got too much
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: power and they try to just abuse it. And I
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: feel like it's a huge distraction because, like I said,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the video is going viral. Everybody's putting their points in
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: and whatnot. And a lot of people was saying, like,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: he's a fucking asshole, you know. And I hope, you know,
• 10:13

• 10:15
  Speaker 3: So we're going to see what happens. Yeah, that's freaking crazy. Yeah,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: he gotta go. He need, like, at least 20 years.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.

  Speaker 3: Like, what are you doing out here? He's after the community.
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: Word.
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: We're seeing some other distractions here.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: We got a mayor from Minnesota, and he's already, like,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: gaining some discrepancy, you know, coming into office.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: So she wants to brand herself as a mill.
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: A what?
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: She wanted to brand herself as a MILF.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: What do you mean a MILF?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean... What? I mean.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: A mayor?
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is what she wanted to brand her. And
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: not only that, she started to crack jokes about the,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: you know, the police chief, you know, his private.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: Whoa.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: And she started to joke to emphasize the size or something.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: What the fuck? And she started to feel on this man.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Whoa.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: So, now, she's getting, she's getting filed with sexual harassment
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: from the police chief.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: And, if you see how she look, you will not
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: think she's a noob.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I can tell you that. And, I would be filing
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that sexual harassment suit as well.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: If I was the police.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: You're going to have to take the abuse. You're going
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to have to take the abuse. How she look. But yeah.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I feel like it's the distraction. Got the internet buzzing
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Definitely.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Definitely.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: The fact. Her name. Mayor.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Rowley.
• 12:00

  Speaker 1: A huge distraction. This week. I don't know. It shows me.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: It shows nothing. You're ill.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Real.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: She.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: So, any more distractions we got this week from you?
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: No.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: So, what we got in the group chat today are.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: We got in the group chat, we got Erica from Amsterdam.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: Erica asks, What is a daily routine that actually helps
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: reduce burnout? Like when you're constantly tired, mentally drained, or
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: dealing with fatigue. What are some things you could do
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: every day to recharge and feel more focused?
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Good question, Erica. My advice on that is to do
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: some meditation. Find a quiet place and just spend some
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: time alone and just put the technology down and just,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: you know, reflect and just, you know, just escape it all.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Just unplug from everything. You know, just stop the grind
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: because this matrix got us running and jumping and stuff
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: like that. It's never enough time to just sit down
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: and relax. Sometimes you got to intentionally unplug and just
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: be there and exist. You know, it's small, but you
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: do that enough times every day, you're going to start
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: looking forward to that 30 minutes or hour just solitude.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: And to piggyback on pretty much what he was saying,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: out of my day, I take an hour to decompress,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: to reflect on my day, and pretty much just to
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: see what I did wrong, what I did right, was
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: it a good day? And then also I take a
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: look at my forecast of my future, what I want
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: to do and what I want to accomplish coming forward.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: And I kind of just sit there and just have
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: a mental break And just relax. Take, you know, calm breaths.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: And just kind of just monitor everything around me. Just
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: be aware. Just be present in my space. And know
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: exactly where I'm at at this particular time. Just chill out,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: you know. You got to have that mental break. Like,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: it's really important. You know, just take that time. Like
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: you said, we're running around all the time. Like, it's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a nonstop. Everything is coming at you quick. So you
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: got to always find that time to put the phone down,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: turn the TV off, be able to sit in that
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: room and just solitude. But yeah, that was a good question, Erica.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: I hope our answer was able to satisfy you and
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: you were able to apply that to your life.
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: And I guarantee you, you will see some results.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: All the other people in the group chat, like I said,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: drop it in the comments on the Instagram, you know,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the YouTube, wherever. Wherever our platform is at, man, drop
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: the comments below. We'll get the questions. You know, let's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: get it. So, you know, the craziness going on in
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the world.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: We got the hype, the AI talk.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Listen, on today's AI talk, listen, we're going behind the scenes,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: behind the screen, into the infrastructure, into what It really takes.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: To make this AI revolution. Really happen.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Let's backtrack.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: If you know geology. Then you know places like the Congo.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Have historically been. What's a good word. Illegally mined. You
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: feel me. From these foreign entities. And foreign companies.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: And.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: The AI revolution requires a lot of these mined resources
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: just to function properly. Y'all remember the cobalt. If you
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: don't know what cobalt is, cobalt is one of the
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: finite resources that's found in the Congo. It's one of
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: the biggest deposits of a lot of different minerals. Not
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: just the cobalt. You got the lithium. You got the zinc.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: You got all these different components that go into the
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: back end of the AI. So, Every time you go
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: to generate something, even on a free subscription, it's somewhere
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: down the line, something has to be expected in order
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: for you to be able to let that AI create
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: what you want it to create. Listen, the UN just
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: dropped a recent report this year about the actual physical
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: infrastructure that it's going to take But it's AI. So
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: we're talking about the data centers, the power grids, the
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: cooling systems, the chips, the minerals, the land, the water. Listen,
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: it's already a massive scale. Now think about this. I
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: don't know how much a terawatt is. You feel me?
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: But in the last year, AI around the world has
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: consumed over 448 terawatts of energy.
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: I can't even comprehend how much that is. I can't
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: even comprehend how much that is. But it's more than
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: the entire country of Saudi Arabia uses annually. So the
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: whole AI industry uses more than what a whole country
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: uses by itself. And it's only rapidly expanding. It's only growing.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: It's only getting more and more massive. So what are
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: we going to do about it? That's the question. They
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: say by 2030, the researchers predict that that figure could double.
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: So instead of it just being 448 terabytes, it could
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: be like 800 or something. With AI doing at least
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: 40% of all the data power used. So all that
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: extra energy is just going to be AI by itself.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Just 40%. How does that make you feel? No faith.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Now, the use that you're Of all of that is ridiculous.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: And to know what's the... When there's a cause, there's
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: always an effect.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Now, the effect is what the problem is.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: We got a lot of chemicals and a lot of
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: waste and a lot of toxic that's in the air
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: that's affecting the people that's getting the cobalt. And that's
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the huge problem right there. You got generations of people, babies,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: you know, all that that's breathing this stuff in while
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: they're mining that, you know. And it's their lifestyle. So
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: it's like they don't have a choice but to mine that.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: They don't have a McDonald's or a Walmart or anything
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: or infrastructure to be able to go apply for a
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: proper job. So those are the only jobs that's available
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: for them. And The only people that's really getting rich
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: is these companies, these huge companies. So I feel like
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: that's the big problem right there as far as with
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the AI. Yeah, there's a lot of good things with it,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: we gotta find a different way how to come up
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: with it you know and as far as with these
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: data centers and stuff like that we gotta be able
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: to find an alternative way you know and people are
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: going to be mining. And if that's the only way
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: that we could supply it and do stuff like that
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and have the chips in the phones and building with
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the AI, we got to do proper measurements. You know,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: they got to have PPE wear on. For me, they
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: got to have masks on. They got to have gloves on.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: They got to have all that on. We do it
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: here in America with anything that we're doing, coal or
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: anything that we're doing here that's manufactured.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: Why they can't get the same proper treatment over there?
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: It don't cost that much to send a couple gloves, mask,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: and all that.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to take some bread out of it,
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: but it's for the end goal.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: The end goal is for everybody just to go home,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: live properly.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: You feel me?
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: Yes.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: And that's the only downfall I can stay with.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: To add on to that, You know, everybody wants you
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: to do your research on this term. It's called artisanal mining.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: Everything No Face just described, that's what artisanal mining is.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: It sounds fancy. It sounds like a nice cup of coffee,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: a nice fancy tea with a crumpet. No. This is grueling,
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: grueling work.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: Go look up artisanal mining. And on top of that,
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: we got these super companies buying up the land and
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: using the water on the land to fund the data center.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: You know, so now local economies is losing their water
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: sources or their water sources is getting contaminated. And on
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: top of that, local economies is subsidizing electricity that's being
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: used to run the data center. How your bill go
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: up $ 300, $ 400. You barely be home. Most of us
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: be out at the job working. Sure. I just want
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: to let y'all know, there's a lot of real risk
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: in AI. It's not just software. It's very physical. It's
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: very real. You can really see the real-world effects that
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: this is taking on humanity. So if you're going to
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: use AI, use it in a productive way. Use it
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: in a way that you could probably make some money,
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: go over there and help establish some of that infrastructure
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: and help out. You know, we can make humane... humane
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: humane ai we can make it to where people don't
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: have to be risking their lives just to mine this
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: stuff like nobody said they could have the proper tools
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: and stuff we can make this a real reality and
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: it's in the congo they got a mountain mountains of
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: this these minerals there's plenty of money to go around
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: the whole world can have ai technology And for the low, honestly.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: But because there's so much illegal mining and infrastructure out there,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: everything is so expensive now. Because guess what? You got
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: to compete for all these different nations to get this
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: illegal source. Versus if it was legal, everybody would have
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: a constant supply. And that's my AI talk. Right.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: So, the AI talk, that's saying, don't do your research.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: See that it's It's real over here in the Congo.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: I know that people enjoy their entertainment, enjoy their phones,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: enjoy using the AI, but just know that there's people
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: that are suffering. So they say use it the right way.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: So they're going into the lifestyle that today. And this week,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: I'm going into something that's personal for me. You know,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: like anxiety. You know, I think we all have that.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: I think we all deal with that. I think that
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: we all have the wrong outlook on anxiety. You know,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: a lot of us think of, they always frame anxiety
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: as like this bad thing, you know, where it's like
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: it's almost useless energy. You feel me? But it's much
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: more than useless energy. It's the way You reframe it.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: And that's what we're going to be doing today on
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the Lifestyle in Depth. We're going to be reframing the
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: thought of anxiety. And let me ask you something. When
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: you get anxious, where does it go? You try to
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: get rid of it, right?
• 24:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Converting it into something else.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: You try to breathe it out. You try to calm down.
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Expel it.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: You try to suppress it.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: But today, I want to give you a different option
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: because that anxiety might be the most valuable energy you own.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: How so?
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: So here's the thing that nobody tells you. Anxiety and excitement,
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: they're physiologically the same.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: What?
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Same racing heart, same sweaty palms, same jitters. The only
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: difference is the story that Your brain tells about it.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: So stop calling it nervousness. Call it readiness. Your body
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: is breaking it down. It's warming up. Same voltage.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: You just got to choose the outlet.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: That anxiety, that's some energy.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: You're anxious.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: You're ready to do something. Now, if you apply that
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: into something that's right, oh, And that's something, like I said,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: it's personal for me. I dealt with anxiety for my life.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: You feel me? But now I'm able to, when I'm
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: anxious about something, I start to do some research on
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: what I'm anxious about and try to, like, especially in
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: the business, you feel me, or the content. I'm anxious
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: to get views and all that. I start sharing it
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: and finding different ways to market it and promote that.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: And I use that. That anxiety turned that into some energy.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I reshaped that anxiety, turned it to a different source.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: And let's go a little deeper. You know what I mean? Okay.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Everybody talks about managing anxiety, calming down, breathing through it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: That's cool. That works. But almost nobody talks about the
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: cheat code. Anxiety is creating energy that hasn't been assigned
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: this job yet. Think about anxiety, what it actually is.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Your brain is running stimulations, rehearsing threats, playing out scenarios,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: imagining outcomes that don't even exist yet.
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: See?
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Now, bro, that's literally a creative person does. You know,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: a novelist imagines a world that doesn't exist. A songwriter
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: imagines a feeling and just gives it a sound. That's
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: all that is.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Now, anxiety and imagination are pretty much on the same machine.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: It's just pointed out in a different direction. You know
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: what I mean? Oh, same source. Like I said, just
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: a different outlet, different path.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Like I said, it's all, like I said, sweaty palms.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: It's the same, it's the same shit. So when y'all
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: start thinking about the anxiety and These things that you
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: got to accomplish or something you got to do, work
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: on that. Use that energy to work on that. Don't
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: be over here frustrated like, oh, oh, oh. No, you
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: have to sit. Like I was telling Erica, you got
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: to be able to have that mental manifestation where you
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: can just chill out and really think about your day,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: what you got to do. And that's where you can
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: use that anxiety, use that energy to help with a
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: lot of these things.
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Now, that's powerful right there. You can't fake the calm
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: way out of the racing mind. But you can say
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: this is creative pressure. When your chest gets tight before
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: you create, that's not a stop sign. That's a green light.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: The discomfort is the signal. Something is alive in you
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: that's trying to get out. Anxiety has a shelf life, though. Like,
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: your peak anxiety is your peak energy.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Most people waste it strolling, spiraling, like I just said.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Most people waste it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: The move. They open a notebook, the mic, the canvas,
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: and within a minute, it's a surge if you do that.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: And you know that. You're an artist.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: You dealt with that.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: You dealt with that firsthand. You see the art around us.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: That came from anxiety. That came from anxiety, and he
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: applied that to the canvas. Now, whatever you're anxious about
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: or telling you what to actually create, you're scared about money,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: Write the song about being broke. Spiraling how people see you,
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: make a video about it. The way people see you,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: you got to be able to apply it into different ways.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Be creative. I feel like us as humans, we We
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: belittle ourselves sometimes where we feel like we don't have
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: what it takes.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Definitely.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: But that should be right in you. That should just be...
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: It has to come from within you. You got to
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: tell yourself, nah, I'm that nigga.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I'm that girl.
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: You feel me? I'm really... I'm really with it. You
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: feel me?
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: You got to be able, like I said, create and
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: do some things with that.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: Now, the anxiety... means you care. Black people don't feel this.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Numb people don't feel it. If you got that electric
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: buzz in your chest, something wants you to make you be,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: get into that mode. You feel me?
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: There's something inside you that will make you get in
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: that mode. That beast mode. The only question is, does
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: it come out as a panic attack or a project?
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: Like I say, same voltage, your outlet though. Minus the distraction, man.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Lifestyle in depth.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? I had to... Like I said,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: it was personal for me, so I had to go
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: a little deeper into this lifestyle in depth for y'all
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: to really explain the meaning of anxiety and how you
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: can really switch that.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: Nah, that was powerful right there.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: This is Minus the Distraction.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: This is Shoot the Artist.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: I'm No Face Brown. Minus. Minus.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: I'm getting money.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: You stay cool. Keep traction.
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: I'm moving lightly.
