  SPEAKER_01: Well, I let the guests come on my show.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_01: You tell your story, you are going to be the one telling your story.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_01: And while you tell your story, then I go from there with questions that I want to ask you.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_01: I've that's the way I do it.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_01: I've been doing it like that from day one, guys.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna change it.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_01: If you I have to make it very clear to people that be ready to come on my podcast to tell me your story.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: If you feel you got a story to tell, I want to hear that story.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: From there, I ask the questions.
• 9:00
  SPEAKER_01: And if you're ready for that and you feel like okay, yeah, okay, I could do that, didn't do that, and don't be waiting for me to ask you question, question, question.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_01: Because I'm gonna hear your story first before I ask the questions.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_01: I like it that way, it's best for me that way, and it give a person a chance to hear about you that's never heard about you before, and nobody in the world can tell you a story better than you can.
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: No one.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, when you come on my podcast, you tell your story.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_01: I don't tell your story, I do after you tell your story.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_01: While you're telling your story, I ask questions accordingly.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_01: So I want to get that on to speak about that real briefly.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_01: Several things I'm speaking about today.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: I want to talk about people having their phones.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_01: Cell phones is a great thing to have right now, but what I don't like is to see people looking down, walking, not paying attention to where they're going, and they're looking down, um just looking down at at the the screen of their podcast.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not their podcast, at their screen of their phone and not paying attention to where they're going.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_01: I've seen people walking with their children in busy intersections or busy streets, and your kids are just walking almost out in front of cars and you got your face buried in a darn phone.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_01: I hate to see that.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_01: I hate that to see people with their heads just buried in their phone.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_01: It can wait, guys.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_01: I wanna just stand somewhere for a moment if you gotta text somebody, text them then, and then if you gotta walk somewhere, don't be walking with your hand down in your phone and you're gonna run into a car, you're gonna run into a person, you're gonna run out into the street.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_01: Pay attention to your surroundings, pay attention to where you're going, what you're doing, long enough to if you gotta text a person, text them, do that, but go ahead and just pay attention to what you're doing, then look up, walk, do what you gotta do, and then you want to get back to your phone at that point, do that, but don't bury your head down in your phone and then not paying attention to where you're going.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: Not smart at all.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_01: My next thing I want to speak about is a clean house.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_01: I have a person come over several times a week to you know just tidy things up for me.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: You know what she said to me?
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_01: She said, I am getting free money.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: It made me feel good because she's telling nothing but the truth.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: I keep my place big and span, I tell you.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_01: When you walk into my apartment or my establishment, it is clean.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: I do have cats, but people oftentimes ask me, I thought you had cats.
• 12:10
  SPEAKER_01: Where are the cats?
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_01: Well, number one, my cats are gonna run.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_01: When you enter that door, they're going to run.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: They're afraid of you.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_01: If you're scared of them, they're more scared of you.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: It's only one of them that will come and greet you, but he's not gonna greet you right away.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_01: He's gotta even get to know you a little bit.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_01: But my cats are extremely clean cats, they're clean.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_01: My apartment is clean.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_01: You're not gonna walk into my apartment and see a sink full of dirty dishes, trash running over, smells from me wherever, you know, because sometimes I walk into a person's house and the place to be honest, is stink.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: Dishes in the sink piled up, trash running over, the dog running around the house, poop everywhere.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: And you know, the lady tried to when it if they see me coming over, I pull up.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_01: They're trying to clean up real quick, you know.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god, Gina's out there.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my god.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: No, don't do it, dude.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_01: Keep a clean house.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_01: If you got kids or grandkids laying around the house, don't let them lay around there and do nothing.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_01: They should be making sure that trash is emptied out.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: You shouldn't have any trash in your cans.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: Always after dinner, take your garbage out immediately.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_01: Don't let that garbage just sit there overnight.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: Don't do that.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm saying don't do it because it causes you to have bugs and fleas and roaches and all kinds of things.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_01: People wonder why they got these things in their home.
• 13:54
  SPEAKER_01: Well, maybe because you're not a very good housekeeper.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_01: You can keep your place clean if you want to.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_01: It's all up to you.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_01: But I refuse to go over to a person's house.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_01: I can only do it one time.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_01: If I go over to your house and and you you can hardly get in the door without it being so much junk laying around.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: Trash piled up in the trash can.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_01: I'm probably not gonna come back inside.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: Uh meet you at the door.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: Or you can come out to my car.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_01: I just cannot stand going into a house that's dirty or an apartment.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: I can't.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: And there's no excuse.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna listen to excuses.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I I I just can't I can't tolerate that.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_01: And if you got grown kids, if you got kids laying around doing nothing, I I don't agree with that at all.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_01: My next thing I'm gonna talk about is watching the news 24-7.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_01: I know people that sit there and watch the news from sun up to sundown.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: They're keeping up with everything that's going on in the news.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: Now I didn't say that.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_01: Check on the things that's going on in your town.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_01: That's fine.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_01: In my case, I have to know what's going on in my city or what have you, or what's going on in the world.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_01: But I'm not gonna sit there all day long looking at CNN, Fox, and all these other stations.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna do that.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_01: Or even the local news.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_01: I am not going to do that.
• 15:28
  SPEAKER_01: I'm also not gonna be on YouTube looking at all of this stuff going on on YouTube.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna do that.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_01: There are very few channels that I do watch on YouTube, and it's specifically for a reason.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I I just don't sit there and watch this and this and this and this.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: You know, because I need my peace.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_01: I need to be peaceful.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_01: I need to stay peaceful.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_01: I need to have something to give back to people when they need to speak with me.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: And I can't do that if I'm looking at all this stuff all over the TV and and listening to all these things on YouTube and watching all this stuff, I can't do it.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_01: But I love I love being uplifted by listening to the word of the Lord and listening to good uplifting music.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_01: Not always mu not always music where people are screaming and going on, because there are certain songs that I don't listen to too.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, I do like gospel, but I love that old time gospel music.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: I do, I love the old gospel, and I always tell you Walter Hawkins and that old Andre Crouch music, those are some of my favorites.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_01: Sandy Patty, people like that.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_01: Those are some of my favorites, but I do like the easy smooth uh gospel too, gospel lounge.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_01: I love their music, it's just kind of jazzy, but I love it, you know, it's just something sweet and and you know, that uplifts the spirit.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_01: Not always people on there screaming, you know.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not saying anything is wrong with that kind of gospel music to each his own, but for me, I kind of steer away from that.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_01: The next thing on my list to talk about is living on social media: Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, um, whatever the other ones are.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_01: The one I ate that I use most is Instagram.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_01: I I message my friends there on Instagram.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_01: I keep in contact with businesses through Instagram mostly.
• 17:47
  SPEAKER_01: Facebook, I schedule my post over there.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes you'll catch me there every now and then, but I don't live there.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_01: In other words, I'm not just there all day long strolling, see who's doing what, and see who's I don't have time for that, you know.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_01: Whatever people are doing, they're doing.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_01: Congratulations.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_01: But I don't have time to sit there and watch your life and be entwined with everything that's going on.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: I just personally talking about myself, I just don't have the time for it.
• 18:20
  SPEAKER_01: But I do I'm pretty active on Instagram, that's my favorite.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_01: Instagram is my favorite, but I'm not even there every second of the day, you know.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_01: I go there maybe once a day to make a post or whatever, and I even schedule posts for my Instagram as well.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_01: So first TikTok goes, I don't use TikTok.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_01: Um I do have a TikTok, but I don't use it.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_01: Twitter, I don't use Twitter at all.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_01: I I tried to, I tried, but I don't use it.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_01: So I don't use Twitter.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Telegram, I do have an old telegram that I used when I was when my sister Laura was alive, but I don't use that either, so truthfully, I really don't use anything but Instagram, but Facebook, again, schedule post for Facebook, and my YouTube, I'm getting that started, not quite yet, but guys, just be patient with me, please.
• 19:27
  SPEAKER_01: I'm getting it together, is the best I can say as far as my YouTube goes.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_01: I just have a few more things I'm gonna tell you about.
• 19:35
  SPEAKER_01: I started my own business outside of uh online.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_01: I've opened up a few businesses, and um I feel like they're gonna be quite quite successful.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_01: I know they are.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_01: Decided to get the businesses location located in some very wonderful areas.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want the business to be in a rundown area, I wanted it to be in a high traffic area, but an area that's really pleasant, that's very nice.
• 20:11
  SPEAKER_01: So we got three, four different locations.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_01: Um thinking about getting another location's location in uh locust grove uh McDonough Griffin, whatever you want to call it, but in a nice area.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_01: I just like things to be in a very nice area, an area where people uh good traffic, you know, a lot of good traffic, but a nice area.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_01: The next thing I want to talk about is not how much you make, but how much you save.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_01: Now a lot of people say, Well, I don't make anything, I have to pay all of my bills, I have to do that.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_01: They're gonna always have this little smart attitude behind it.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_01: I don't care what I say.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_01: People always come back with a really smart snapping their finger attitude, you know, and I I said one lady I said, well, it's not really how much you make, but how much you save.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_01: Be wise with that, you know, because a lot of people would say um they make all of this money.
• 21:28
  SPEAKER_01: Well, congratulations to you.
• 21:31
  SPEAKER_01: But how much of that are you putting aside?
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_01: There are some things that I hold off on doing, you know, like I don't go get my hair done every every week, every two weeks.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: I can afford to do that if I want to.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_01: I just don't.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_01: I don't feel like I need to.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_01: Sometimes I just wash my hair and go.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_01: Um my nails and all of that.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_01: I treat myself every now and then to get that done.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_01: You know, but I don't go overboard, you know.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_01: Do I have people DoorDash and all that bringing me food?
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_01: No, I don't.
• 22:13
  SPEAKER_01: That is me now.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_01: I prefer fixing my own food.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_01: I prefer that I do have a person that comes over three times a week that prepare meals, and there's a reason behind that.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_01: And she's awesome.
• 23:25
  SPEAKER_01: She's absolutely awesome.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_01: But as far as ordering out.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_01: I don't do that at all.
• 23:33
  SPEAKER_01: I don't do that.
• 23:34
  SPEAKER_01: The order out.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_01: I just don't.
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_01: I take time and save that money.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_01: I don't care how much I got.
• 23:42
  SPEAKER_01: Again, go back to the other saying, it's not how much you make, but how much you save.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_01: And a lot of times people get money is before they can get it, it's gone because they just they're just not used to holding on to it or saving it or putting it aside for a rainy day.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_01: But instead they just spin, spin, spin, which a lot of times keep you broke.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_01: I hate when person say that they're broke, but I do understand why they're broke because you s what guess what?
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_01: You said that you're broke.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_01: So that's why you're broke.
• 24:17
  SPEAKER_01: So that's another thing I had to say that.
• 24:22
  SPEAKER_01: Complain all the time.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_01: I want to speak on that briefly.
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_01: Why do you spend more time complaining than giving thanks?
• 24:33
  SPEAKER_01: If the Lord woke you up this morning, or if you feel like you woke yourself up or whatever, because some people they don't want to acknowledge the higher power, I don't care what.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_01: They don't want to say that they're saying I'm not a religious person.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_01: They don't want they rather just say, Well, something woke me up.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, whatever woke you up, why are you complaining all the time?
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_01: I refuse to be around a person that complains all the time.
• 24:58
  SPEAKER_01: Whether they're complaining about how much money they make, how much money they don't have, their life, the work that they do or don't do.
• 25:06
  SPEAKER_01: I don't like to be around people like that.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_01: And I find ways of getting away from a person.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_01: When I find out that you are a chronic complainer or a procrastinator, I find ways of getting away from you.
• 25:23
  SPEAKER_01: I really do.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_01: I'd be trying to ease away from you, and before it's all over, I'm totally away from you altogether because I don't like a person that complain, complain, complain, complain, complain.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_01: I've had people said to me, they're gonna do something, and that's my next next thing I'm talking about.
• 25:40
  SPEAKER_01: Keep saying I will start soon a business or whatever.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_01: So that that falls in the line of complaining.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_01: When I'm around a person that is complaining all the time or can procrastinating about what they're going to do.
• 25:57
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do that, I'm gonna do this.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_01: And a lot of people have been saying they're gonna do things for years.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_01: I know one guy, he's still talking about he's gonna do this and thus and this and that.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_01: Do you know that guy is still saying the same thing ten years later or better?
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_01: The same thing.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_01: He's saying the same thing because he never meant to move further.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_01: See, people complain, complain, procrastinate.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_01: I cannot be around people like that.
• 26:35
  SPEAKER_01: I refuse to be around chronic complainers, chronic procrastinators.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_01: I refuse that, and I don't let myself be in that type of a company.
• 26:47
  SPEAKER_01: I'd rather be around people who are uplifting, positive-minded, you know, I love that type of person or people.
• 26:58
  SPEAKER_01: I don't waste my time with people who complain all the time.
• 27:02
  SPEAKER_01: I don't waste my time with people who are down and out all the time.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_01: I ain't got this, or I ain't got that, alright?
• 27:10
  SPEAKER_01: I need this, or I I trust me, if if I'm around a person like that, before you know it, I'm away from that kind of person.
• 27:19
  SPEAKER_01: I get away from them slowly but surely.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_01: I because I can't stand that type of uh I can't stand that kind of person.
• 27:27
  SPEAKER_01: I just really can't.
• 27:29
  SPEAKER_01: I like to be around people who are uplifting to me, and we uplift one another.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_01: That I like.
• 27:38
  SPEAKER_01: I'm so thankful to what God is doing for my podcast, it's grown.
• 27:43
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I started it in 2020 with the encouragement of my sister Laura, and I'm so glad that I did.
• 27:52
  SPEAKER_01: It has grown and got more popular over time, and I'm so thankful to the Lord for all that he has done in my life.
• 28:01
  SPEAKER_01: So I just want to talk to you briefly today.
• 28:05
  SPEAKER_01: Um, season 10 will be starting in September, but this month I was just taking this month to handle my outside businesses because I do have some businesses that I'm doing on the side, and um, that's what I've been doing, and that takes time, and even that when you got a business, um it keeps you busy.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_01: And you can have more than one business, you don't have to have just one business.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_01: A person can have a job and have five or six other side hustles.
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_01: It's nothing wrong with having uh several um ways of income, you know.
• 28:47
  SPEAKER_01: It's nothing wrong with that.
• 28:49
  SPEAKER_01: Matter of fact, I encourage that to have several incomes coming in, not just one, but quite a few.
• 28:56
  SPEAKER_01: If you're good at something, I mean market it, put it out there, do it, whatever.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_01: Don't let don't just be tied down to somebody's job, but get something for yourself.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_01: You know, a lot of people tell me one lady said the other day, I think it was a couple of days, a couple of weeks ago, she said, Oh, I'm gonna be yeah, I'm gonna start in another department, and I'm gonna be making all this money, and I'm gonna and I'm gonna be doing it.
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_01: I asked her, I said, Well, uh, how much are you gonna be making?
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_01: She said, I'm gonna be making$20 an hour.
• 29:32
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, really?
• 29:35
  SPEAKER_00: I guess I th I guess I was thinking she was gonna say she's gonna be making quite a bit.
• 29:41
  SPEAKER_01: You know, and I see some of the the the the um the healthcare people you can never make as much money as you can if you work for yourself.
• 29:52
  SPEAKER_01: Working for yourself is the best way to go.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_01: If you got a skill, if you cultivate that skill and be the best with that skill that you can be, build on that skill, work around that skill, get something going for yourself, work for yourself.
• 30:12
  SPEAKER_01: Sure, I'm not telling you to quit your job by no means, but at the same time, have something for you like on down the road, you might want to say goodbye to the job, who knows?
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_01: But have something for yourself.
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_01: There's no amount of money that you can make working for someone else that will beat what you can make working for yourself if you got the right job skill and you know what you're doing, and it's your own business.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_01: Trust me, there's no better way to go than working for yourself.
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_01: So if you got a skill and you got something that you're really, really good at, work on that.

  SPEAKER_01: Make it your best.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_01: And while you're working for someone else, yeah.

  SPEAKER_01: If you got your help, if God has given you your health and your strength, to me, there's nothing greater than that.
