  Speaker 1: My friend? I am in Vancouver, Canada working on a
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: film and uh, I have been away from my home
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: now for almost six months. I did the first five
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: months in New Orleans where we shoot um clean Sugar,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: and then I was home for two weeks before I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: came to Vancouver to shoot this um this movie that
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I'm doing this sequel. Well, we know that you know
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that you you on the screen, You're recognizable phase, being
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: a recognizable phase? Does that what advantages does that have?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: And are there any disadvantages to what you're trying to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: do with your life? Now? You know? Um, I believe
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: that much of how we experienced life uh starts on
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the inside. And so I actually am in a rather
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: a rather great position as an actress, even though I'm
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: on a hit show. Queen Sugar has quite a lot
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: of fans. But aunt Vy and I actually look different.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: You know. Aunt Vy is um um she she she,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: we look different. So when I'm in the airport, I
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: don't get the same sort of of attention that the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: guys get, uh and and I like that. But let
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: me also say very clearly, it is because of fans
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and an opportunity like aunt Vy that my other passions,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: entrepreneurial pursuits are supported. So I am good with, you know,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: connecting with fans and making sure that I am thankful
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: for this opportunity that I am experienced because it's helping
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: me to not just fulfill my passion my other passions,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: it's also helped me to build out my platform right
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: now that I want to And that's what we brought
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: her to talk about your other passion. But before we
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: move off of coueen Sugar, you know you are working
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: with associated with with two of the more powerful females,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: not just in Hollywood, I think in just social social circles.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: That's Oprah Winfrey and Ava Duvenai. Absolutely, um Oprah has
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: transformed the game, not just for African American women with
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: women in period, becoming a billionaire, becoming an entrepreneur. Um
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: she was to talk to your hosts and she she
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: understood how to use the media to bill brands and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Able duven A who Netflix series has grown at a more.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It was the most watch Netflix series in the history
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of Netflix. And I think when they see Us has
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: been nominated for sixteen Absolutely that's how powerful that series is.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: So if people haven't seen it, they really need to
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: tune into Netflix to see when they see us, Tina,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you who I voted for, but I
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: am a Emmy voter, and uh I knew about that sixteen,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: So I kind of like got to back off a
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: little bit on all that nomination talk because I don't
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: want to lose my voting privileges. Well, I don't mind
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: saying who iver, there you go if you if you
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: watch UH when they see us, you will experience the
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: power of television, the power of of film and media.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: And I think that Ava is telling UH stories about
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: our communities in ways that UH not just deserve this
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: kind of recognition because she is a consummate filmmaker, but
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: also you know, it is very important to our dreams,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to our ideas of what we can achieve in this world,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: to be able to see ourselves, to see ourselves in
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: all the iterations that represent us. And so I applaud
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that um in Ava's work as much as I applaud
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: her consummate filmmaking abilities. So what is your takeaway when
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you when I mentioned Nate, when I say open win free,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: What is your takeaway when I say open win? My
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: takeaway is committed UM. I think that that Oprah understands
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: who she is and the game. And I think that
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: she understood that coming in long before she had the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: power that she has now. She was constantly I'm guessing
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: because I don't know. I've been in Oprah's company just
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: four times. But I believe that she is a person
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: who's constantly refining who she is, and she comes to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the table being smart enough two also leverage these the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: intelligence uh no, how and wherewithal of others. And I
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: think that that's really really a key component in leadership
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: and success, being able to um surround yourself with the
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: right people and being able to leverage and quickly leverage
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: um talent and great ideas. That's amazing because I feel
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I have been around him more than four times and
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: fortunately to be able to um sit in the room
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: and listen to her talk when I but I have
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: not been around Ava Duvenat, so I've only been able
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: to hear her talk from afar watch her work. What
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: is it like being around such a talented I would
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: have to say visionary. Who she is a visionary, no
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: question about it. She is a visionary and um Ava
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: has one of the sharpest minds I have encountered. So
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: tell us about this interfitness All the beauty tour is
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: coming to Atlanta at the Riverside. Yeah, Well, I'm so
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: excited about the Atlanta date Um we've been doing this
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the tour. Atlanta is our fourth stop and Um in
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: a nutshell, the Interfitness Outer Beauty Tour is about disrupting
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the old patterns in your life, just disrupting everything in
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: a fun, interactive, uplifting, transformational kind of way. It is
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: about realizing that the status quo, no matter how it
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: shows up is is part of the problem. When we
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: live our lives today the same way we lived them yesterday,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: we are building a grave for ourselves. We are putting
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: ourselves in a box that doesn't have enough light in it.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And so the Inner Fitness Outer Beauty Tour gives us
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: an opportunity to talk about experience what it means to
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: disrupt unhappiness and literally we are going to right there,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: you know, within the time a lot it, We're going
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to experience ways of being able to just lift your
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: spirit in your mood and have a higher idea of yourself,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: set an intention for your life about what's possible and
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: then no ways um learn ways to like get back
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: to that intention over and over again. And then we
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: are going to disrupt this whole concept of own sex
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and sexuality. There's so much misinformation out here about sex,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: and there is so much good to be found in
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: our sexuality. So we're going to examine and explore what
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: it means to live a juicy life and and that's
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: not what you think you know, um, and then we
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: are going to learn away one powerful technique from um
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a yoga instructor by the name of on a Hawk.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: You don't need to bring a mat because we're gonna
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: be sitting in this beautiful at the center. But any time,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: whether you're driving, you're at work, you know, you're standing
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: in the shower, you'll be able to um employ some
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: of the information that owner is gonna share so that
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: you can re center yourself, you know, and breathe in
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: a way that will less in stress and move you
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: to a place where you are more open. And when
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: we are more open, there is a greater sense and
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: uh uh and um, opportunity for hope and possibility to emerge.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And hope and possibility are powerful actions that we take
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: in in designing and moving our lives towards the experience
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: that we most want. Inter fitness, all of beauty. Not

  Speaker 1: was Sean McDonald. You listened to money making conversation moneumatic conversation.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: I'll bring CEOs, actors, entertainers, entrepreneurs, small business owners on
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: my shoulders, allow them to share nuggets of success mistakes,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: because we need to know about the mistakes to be
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: successful in life. The one thing that I've discovered and
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: doing this show is that when people come on the show,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: when they start sharing their stories about whether it's a
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: movie or the complimentity, a business opportunity, they always they're
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: honest about how they got there, because this is not magic.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: You know, success is not magic. And a lot of
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: times when you see things, you all see the end results.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: You always see the end results of the big house,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: or the big car, or the or the fancy meal,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: and sometimes you're still maintaining. I always tell people that
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I'm working wealthy. I always tell people that I'm working well.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: If I stopped working, the wealth stops. Okay. I am
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: not tied to the Hiltons. I'm not tied to to
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: anybody famous. If I gotta work to maintain a little
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: wealth that I got, and guess what a lot of
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Americans are doing that, and so you need to understand
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: their different roles. So if you win something or you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: get something successful, to maintain it. To maintain that lifestyle
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: is tied to you can annually doing what you did
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to get there. And that's what money Making Conversations is
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: all about. My next my next guess is on the phone. Uh.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: It's the summer of four and this season three of Snowfall,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: crack cocaine is spreading like wildfire through south central Los Angeles,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: continuing this path of destruction and changing the culture forever.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: My next guest is making his mark in Hollywood as
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: the lead patriarch Jerome Sank in FX hit Serious Snowfall.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: Please Welcome to Money Making Conversation. Aimon Joseph. Hey, hey, brother,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: my man, so so so you're in Los Angeles right now,
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: but your your East Coast boar right, yeah, yeah, I'm
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: actually from Hall of New York. I was born in Queens.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I grew up raising Ham. Now now are you the
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Are you a new Hall m guy? Because you know,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: are your old Hall Of guy? Because back in the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: day when they wouldn't pick us up and take us
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: up north in New York because I was moved to
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: New York and now moved in New York. So if
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: he was in Lord east Side, you try to take
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: a cab who no, wh Yeah, yeah, I know all
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: about that. I was, you know, I grew up in
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: harm through the Cotch era, the Sinkings era, the Juliani era,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Bloomberg era. It wasn't really into the the Blasio whatever
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: that you could catch a cab. You know, now you can.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: You can catch a cab downtown. They will actually stop
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: for you, which is which is remarkable because you know,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: growing up we used to have to take African livery
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: cast but not yeah, because those were the only ones
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: that would would stop for us, which was actually okay
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: because you know, it was like you know, helping out brothers.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: It was you know, I mean it was like, all right,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: they ain't picking us up. Then we have our own
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: cab services, and that money was circulating within the community.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: A good Yeah. I think I wanted to talk about that,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, because because when I wasn't living
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: in New York. And it's really I'm telling you, what
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: really changed the game was Uber. Uber changed the game
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: for how we were getting picked up. I mean consistently
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: because they got so competitive that they just wanted to
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: pick up anybody anywhere. Because you go to New York
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: right now, it does not look like especially at the
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Hall of Area, does not look like the Hall of
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: that for sure, and and and and and not at all.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: It's really interesting. So but guess what's still there? The
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Apollo is still there. Oh man, that's where I grew up,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Pollo Theater. So tell us about that, because I always
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: because the average person is born and dreams of made.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Oh look he got the speech, he got speech. I
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: used to listen. I used to. I used to growing
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: up at the Apollo. I've done everything there from ussher
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: to patch lights, to be to uh you know, run
• 18:54

• 19:16
  Speaker 1: my black pants starts and everything with the shiny black
• 19:20

  Speaker 1: So I eventually became a stand up comedian and then
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: became a sitcom writer, and I started managing talent. And
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: now I'm just I'm a talent myself now a personality,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I won't say, as well as an entrepreneur. So tell
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: me about the fact that he is a young African
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: American and you see this bigger than life theater, like
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: you said, since the forties, you know, from everybody, every
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Legends played there. Even Steve Harvey holsted that many years
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: and really launched his career from Showtime All the Apollo.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: The show Time at Apollo was the TV show that
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: he launched his career. How important to that that building
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: or that culture play in your life today? Well, um,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: to me, you know, of course, it's my backyard. I'm
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: I'm you know, I'm a hometown kid. But I honestly
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: think that the Apollo Theater as an epicenter for Black
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: entertainment in the world. If you look at the if
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: you look at the legacy the um, you know everyone
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: from Percy Sutton um too too, like you said, uh,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Steve Harvey to to Monique too. I've seen Corn performed there,
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: the late Michael Jackson Um, Diana Ross Um, the Temptations.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: As a little as a little kid fourteen years old,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: would see these legendary performances Patti LaBelle and then also
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: the stage performances, the plays that would come up there,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: George C. Wolf ringing Harlow there, and you know, like
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: I said, even Bill Clinton playing his saxophone on the
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Apollo stage. Seeing all of the politicians like uh, Charlie
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Rangle and and and Al Sharpton and and seeing drives
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: for the community when our legends like James Brown died
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: to see his funeral procession come down a hundred and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: twenty fifth Street and stop pay respect that the Apollo
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Theater Um, it's just a lot of legacy. It's a
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: lot of hallam there. I feel like it's um, that's
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: what's in me, you know what I mean, Like I'm
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: I um, Yeah, it's just a part of my upbringing.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: It's like second nature. I seed. You know, so many
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: people perform there, so many nights looking at the being
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: back an age or being way up in the balconies
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: and watching and one day thinking that I would be
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: able to to grace that stage and be a performer
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: that I am now. Um it started from me being
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: a little kid thirteen years old working there. That's awesome,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: that's AWESO. We're speaking to uh Aimon Joseph, one of
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the stars of the series Snowfall. Let's talk about this story.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: You know when I when I go back to series
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: that it's really interesting when you talk about uh, cocaine
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: or crack or drug, drug movies or series. The series
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: that stands out was New Jack City with whether that came,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: that came blew me away? Uh, what's this knife? Should
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: have been nominated for an Oscar based on his Nino
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Brown character, and then then it was just then. But
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: but this Snowfall has that same Uh. You know, you
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: know you're doing something bad, you know it's not good,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: but you the characters are so developed that you that
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: you feel a support system as a viewer for the characters.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Tell us about that, because you know what I'm saying
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: because we can watch these you know, like Godfather movies,
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: and we can root for you know, all them, and
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: they go, wow, but you know, these are these are
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: bad people, but we fall in love with the actors
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: that were stylized and and and so when I watched
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: so Far As, I were wild, they're they're actually accomplishingly.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And when I say that, that's why I bring up
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: New Jack City. And New Jack City was man. Every
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: character was so clearly define and and and you rooted
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: for him and you and you knew they were denounced
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: their behavior, but you went, wow, that was really good.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: The takeaway from that are you getting Are you receiving
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: that same response from the character that you're playing and
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: the other characters on the series. Yeah, that's a very layered,
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: layered question, because you do have the There is a
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: part of the glorification of the of the of the
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: drug dealer, all the villain period um. A big part
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: of escapism and entertainment is living out fantasies that you
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: would not do in real life. And a lot of
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: times that comes from the villain, the person that is
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: selling drugs or the person that has some maniacal scheme
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: of being filthy rich and um, not living up to
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: the consequences that we would in everyday life and the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: social responsibility, the conscience. UM. So yeah, I I understand
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: how an audience can get wrapped up in to a
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: glorification of these type of of these type of characters.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: But then I also think that what good writers and
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: good storytellers do is you try to bring a humanity,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: um that isn't just about toting a gun and wearing
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: big pins, are having you know a lot of uh
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: sex and cars, and you know that you look at
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: the the trajectory of people of a family that for
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: their own individual reasons and collectively they embark on selling
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: drugs as a family business. But it's a family and
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: we all relate to family. So I think that that's
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the way that the writers, definitely with Snowfall, have have
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: sort of made the audience endeared to these characters because
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: it is a family. We see them eat as a
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: family unit, we see them take care of each other,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: we see them responsible for each other's well being. And
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I think that that's the kind of thing that put
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: you at odds with oh my god, they're doing something bad,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: But I root for them because I know somewhere inside
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: them intrinsically there is good. I love talking to you man.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: You're also been talking to Amon Joseph, one of the
• 26:05

  Speaker 1: to Money Making Conversation. Made McCarthy. Oh, thank you so
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: much for having me on. Well, thank you for being
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: on my show, and thank you for allowing me getting
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: that book to me, allowing me to an opportunity to
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: read it. But before we get started out, you know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: I'm a nosy guy. I'd like to know more about
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: individuals and I see that I want to I'll see
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: that you have a retreat coming up in January? Is
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: that correct? I do. It's an Intentions retreat. Okay to January,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: which is next year a Unity Village, Unity Village, Missouri.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: Tell us about that mate retreat and what the purpose
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: of a retreat that you put on. Well, you know,
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I loved your introduction because you were, um, you know,
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: really hitting at home that you have to plan in
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: order to be successful. You have to know it what
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: you want and you have to make a plan. If
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: you don't plan and have some sort of vision on
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: where you want to go, you're just like a boat
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: without a rudder. You're just gonna address. So what we
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: do in an intentions retreat is we really uncover what
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: was good and what did you not feel was so
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: good for the previous year, and we let those things go.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Then we make a real plan for what is going
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: to look like. I want to get a vision from
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: each and every person, um so that if they got
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: to December one and they turned around and looked at
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: what their year produced, I want to know what they
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: hope to see. Then what we do is we get
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: that down on paper, We get that down in in
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: powerful word statements. We get that down in a daily
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: practice of reviewing those goals regularly and also making sure
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: that they're calm enough to recognize what Bill Gates, Steve Jobs,
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Oprah Winfrey, Albert Einstein, and I use, which is something
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: that because you can't see it, I call it spiritual,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: but it's intuition. It's that gut instinct and those subconscious
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: messages that are going to show up and point the
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: direction for us to take action on a path to
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: achieve those goals. So it's a lot of work. We're
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: going to go deep. It's very empowerful, empowering, and very
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: very fun. It's at Unity Village, which is just about
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: thirty five miles away from Kansas City Airport, right and
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: can't see the airport is right by the hundred miles
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: and we can can't sit that is the airport is
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: so far away from cans like, wow, man, I mean
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: another state, but it does feel that way. It does
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: feel like can I go there as a long ride?
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: Just preparing my my, my, my, my listeners, if they go,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: they landed, they land the airport, it's gonna be a ride.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a ride, and it's all good because
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: they're going there for an event that now this I'm
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: assuming by what you're speaking there's an annual event. Well,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: this will be the first time that we do the
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: Unity Village. If we've done it up in the Blue
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Ridge Mountains, you know, something like it up in the
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: Blue Ridge Mountain, Carolina, and you try to put it
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: in a location in the northwest. But this will be
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: the first time that we do it in Unity Village,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: and I'm so excited. It can be great great. So
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: where are you based at me. I'm I'm based in Texas,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: and so when I was listening to the weather report
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: right before you came on, I was thinking, Wow, that
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: ninety four degrees sounds great. We've had a hundred degrees
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: where I live. Oh, well, you know, I live in Atlanta.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I was just in Houston this past weekend and we
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: were dealing with ninety six in Houston this past weekend, so,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: you know, across the time. And my vacation home, which
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: is where we're at now is on Lake Conro, not
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: very far from Houston. Absolutely, May and I just getting together.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: We on that same energy path. That's why she's on
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the show. And now when I when I was now,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: let's talk about this title. The name of your business
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: be as Easy you all t Z Results. Where did
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: that come from? Well, that's the what we do is
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: we accelerate business results. So it's a play on business results.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: And that particular company has a number of different arms.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: The first is speaking and teaching around the world, so
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: we do public events, but we also do a lot
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: of private events. And then I also have executive consulting.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: I'll work with mostly ceo s or executive leadership. I'm
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: really trying to figure out a way to achieve that
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: next level of success. And as the other part is
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: are the books and other materials that we create. Now
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I have another company which is my angel investment company,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: my real estate holdings UM and other things that I
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: do to produce your revenue. That mess is because I've
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: heard this this angel investor. What exactly is an angel investor?
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: An angel investor is a high net worth individual who
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: may not know the venture that's out fundraising. So usually
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: in a startup UM and I've had six, well seven
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: startups UM, And in a startup you usually go through
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: the phases of boots trapping, so use your own money.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: I remember mortgaging a couple of properties and and you know,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: selling everything that I had in order to get businesses started. UM,
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: So you boots trap. Usually the founder and anybody else
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: that might be a partner gets involved in that stage.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: After you prove that some stuff is working, then you
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: go to your friends and family stage. These are people
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: that know your character, that know you. You don't have
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: to be as formal because you know they've known you
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: for a very long time and trust your ability to
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: execute on a business plan, so they'll come in for
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: money the very first time that you go out. Two
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: investors that are not part of that friends and family group.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Those are angel investors. I'm not exactly sure how we
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: got the title, but if you look at the show
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Shark Tank, those are angel investors. And now, granted they're
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: much wealthier and when they invest, they have a lot
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: more zeros. Most of the time, angel investors will come
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: in when the company is an early stage company may
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: be valued up to five or ten million dollars for
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: that seed round of angel investment, and then they go
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: into A rounds and B rounds, and then you get
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: the venture capitalists that come in after angel investors. We're
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: talking to May McCarthy. Uh. The book we're discussing is
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: the Gratitude Formula, a seven step success system to create
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: a life that you love. In this book, you will
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: learn the importance of gratitude as a valuable part of
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: a daily system for success so that you can experience
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: more of the good things that you desire. What do
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: you want? Greater financial freedom, improved health, satisfying work, harmonious relationships,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: regularly regular recreation, and the means to enjoy it. You
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: can use this daily system for success to enable you
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: to receive all of the things that you wanted more.
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: That's what when I was reading the book. Is you
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: the reason I'm enjoying this interview with you because you
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: care a lot of values that I speak about on
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: the show about self motivation. A lot of people call
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: in on the show talk about their faith. Uh, and
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: like you said, the faith is whatever you call it,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: but they have some some divine force or summers that
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: allows you to stay competitive, stay organized, stay focused. And
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about when you're talking about to
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: see us, oh, that you put above the CEO in
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: your life. And it's a lot of people want to
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: characterize that they need more of a defined presence or
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: physical presence. And you're saying all this is driven by emotion.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: All is driven by it and and an inner gut
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: instinct or intuition. That right, that first thought. And that's
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: why I always say on the show, go with the
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: first thought. If you're going with the second and third,
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: that's not too good instinct anymore. The first thought, your
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: first thought is your gut instinct, correct, right, Well, it
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: could come in a number of different ways. For instance, UM,
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been to Cleveland before, but
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: I had, Yeah, I've had some large customers there because
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: it's a great hospital town. And I found myself in Cleveland.
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: I got off the plane, grabbed my bags, got my
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: rental car, went to the hotel and dropped everything off,
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: and then I went to the I was going to
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: go to the closest grocery store it's about five minutes away,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: to pick up protein shakes and water and things like that.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: And when I got in the car, I had a
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: very strong thought. That first thought about a grocery store
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: of fifteen minutes a way, Well, that didn't make any sense,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: and my rational mind tried to talk me out of it.
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: But I know, like you, that perhaps that's something that
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: I need to pay attention to. So I sat there
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: for a moment and I thought, you know, I should
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: probably make the drive. Maybe everything will beyond sale. So
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: he did. And when I was walking into the grocery store,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: there was a guy who was walking out who I recognized.
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: I met him six months before the trade show. He
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: represented a giant new customer, and he was not returning
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: any of my phone calls or emails for an appointment.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: And here we are face to face. So while while
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: I was talking to him, he said, look, while you're
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: in town, come make a presentation. Well that led to
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: another presentation and another presentation and a contract worth over
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars, which was my goal that I
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: was revisiting every single day because that's the way this works. Absolutely.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: You know, I know we're running time on a time
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: on this interview, and I want to bring you back
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: and may hopefully enjoyed this interview with me, because I
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: want to bring up this moment, a sharable moment in
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: your book, and it was about when you went to
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: visit your sister, because I was diagnosed with thyrol cancer
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: and then the way I was um in your direct
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: cancers in the throat area. And so if you go
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: to your and I go to annual dental appointment and
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: your doctor appointment, and they all they all do the
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: net chats, you know, they check, you know, they'll feel
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: around they go, they're feeling for lungs. That's what they're
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: feeling for. And usually if you they feel something, that
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: usually is the first sign of thyrod cancer. And now
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: I passed these tests in December and I'm in January
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I'm listening to I'm having a meeting, a general meeting
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: with my blood doctor, and she's run there too, blown
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: blood tests, and so she's asked me. This was the
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: same thing. If you read a book, you're talking about
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: a similar situation where she went in to see a doctor.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: And in this situation where it started with her sister,
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: her sister just saying, hey, she knows something on her leg,
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: won't you go see a doctor? And she goes to
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: the doctor. My situation with this blood was like I
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: could have easily went, hey, just take my blood and
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: go home so I can go home. She said, well,
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: can I just touch your neck and just check? And
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: she and she and she felt along. Now I went
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: to to other people who have told me they were
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: cool with this law, right, I went through the whole process,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: and she told me, and she said, well, do you
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: mind if I check if I do a biopsy on
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: that same thing that may does in her book and
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: in her situation, she would diagnose with early stage of cancer,
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: which became very cuable. Same thing in my situation, I'll
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: diagnosed with direct cancer. And right now I've been cancer
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: free since that diagnosis and since that surgery. So I
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: find your life very relatable to mine may and that
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: is why I want to tell you that I want
• 40:37

• 42:09
  Speaker 1: a product of information that I've gained over to the years,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: and I try to share with individuals to make them

  Speaker 1: their content, their dreams, apply a plan, hard work, and consistency,
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: and they can win. To win. Now, what is winning?
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Went into some people that through their faith, winning for
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: some people to do their relationships, winning for some people's
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: financial success. So choose the lane that you want to
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: get in and roll with it. Either way you're gonna win.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: I win in all three of those lanes. But I
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: didn't understand that because I didn't have family. First, I
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: didn't underst I didn't have a balanced life. I have
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: a very balanced life. Now I understand that I can
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: do everything. I can follow my dreams. I can get
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: off their wheel that I was just running on forever, forever,
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: ever and ever and ever and win with so you

• 43:07
  Speaker 1: to conversations from say, sexful people and listen to their journey,
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: their journey or how they made a misstep here or
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: they didn't make any missteps, but they understood that they
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: had to rely on themselves. They had to rely on
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: their faith, had to rely on their being, had to
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: rely on their relationship, had to rely on many many
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: things to win, not only short term, for long term.
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: My next guest is one of my favorites. This is

• 45:05
  Speaker 1: you can't have it all. Yes you can. You just
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: have to figure out your purpose. And a lot of
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: people like, oh, what's my purpose? Is whatever you do
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: to make somebody else smile, And for me that's through
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: my food. I was pulling this to make people smile
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: with my food. And thank god, I can get paid
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: for it. I can get a TV in doing it.
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: But everybody has put on this earth for a reason
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: and you just got to figure out what that is.

  Speaker 1: I can do this. Why am I not doing this?

  Speaker 1: Because they can do it, I can do it. So
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: that's why I just appreciate what you stand for, what
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: you do, and I appreciate you having me on because
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: I get to tell my story and inspire other people
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: to do it, because I don't want to be the
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: only one in the kitchen. Absolutely, and the great thing
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: about it is that our relationship is over ten years old,
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: and but we don't look at that's the good thing. Yes,
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: what life is good for both of us. But I
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: think they I think that's help because we're happy people
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: and we don't allow we don't stay in stressful situations.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: And a lot of people do that. They're just hanging
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: there was bothering them, and they let they bother the
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: bothering situations. Just take control of their lives and their
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: decision makers. And guess what they either stressed, grumpy or
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: people are good people don't want to hang around them. Yeah,
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: and it worry will affect you mentally, physically, emotionally. You
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: can you can look at people and tell when they're
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: wearing their worries. So we don't have time to that.
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: Absolutely can't make time or space for that. And it
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: was so funny. It was off air, and I said,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: let's bring this story on air every Wednesday. If you

• 47:18
  Speaker 1: a dessert recipe for the fourth of July. So I
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: did my ice cream sandwich canpies and it's the simplest recipe,
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: but everybody loved it, I think because it was so
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: similar in in its ingree that you having your pantry
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: and your viewers. I mean, they just loved it. I
• 47:33

  Speaker 1: juggy you want, and I made it red, white and blue,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: and it was just such an honor to do that,
• 47:43

  Speaker 1: after being so simple, so easy, so affordable, Like who
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: has time to waste in the kitchen? I don't have
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: all day for that. I'm a chef, but I make
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: food for real people and real recipes. So it was
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: just such an honesty. So many people loved it. D
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: nine thousand people, nine people. I went, Okay, you know,
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: trying to raise easy. That's nine. That's a testament to
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: your brand because people have to believe that's that's a
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: layer of credibility that comes with those lights. You know
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: they've seen your brand. You've been consistent, and that's what
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: I love about when we talk about coming on the show,
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: I asked you to do me your favorite what you love.
• 48:37

• 48:53
  Speaker 1: great comments and they tag other people like you need
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: to make this for me or I'm making this for
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: you this weekend. So it really does a whole family
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: of everybody enjoying good food. I still love that. No,
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: it was interesting about summertime. It's always uh tied to barbecue,
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: and it's a it's a kind of annoying because I
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: eat barbecue. Ye're in So I'm trying to figure out,
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: you know, you know, because people all got great barbecue
• 49:19
  Speaker 1: recipe in the summer, rap okay, but I can eat
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: barbecue anytime anywhere. So and when grob a warm and
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: you don't know what the weather is gonna be, you
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: can pull out that girl anytime, right. So I'm trying
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: to figure out how does a food that you eat
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: year round only gets celebrated in the summer. It's almost
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: like perty doing Thanksgiving. It's just an easy way to
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: sell it. But I mean, growing up the South, I
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: mean we barbecue year round. It doesn't matter if it
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: is in the winter. You can still play that girl.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: But you know what the way things are now, I
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: mean you can have indoor grills, you can find I
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: have a lot of recipes that are for the grill,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: but you can also put them in the oven. I mean,
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: some people feel it's a sin to put some barbecue
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: ribs in the oven. It's as long as they taste
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: good and they're tender. Does it really matter. I don't
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: think so. But I mean, it's it's just something about
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: the summer and grilling. But I mean, the grill just
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: brings people together. You smell that grill down the street
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: and you know I'm going to the house because they're
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: cooking something good. And I love to do. I have
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: so many barbecue recipes, and I will say that I
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: I do have some real skills on the grill. I've
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: develops over time, and I do not give up my segrets.
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: I love the way she was talking this years to
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: stepped back and okay, check yourself. Ah, this is what
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: I do. Don't let the don't let the chelf and
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: the TV station fool you. I got skills when I
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: agree with now, absolutely, And ladies, we can be cute

  Speaker 1: encourage all the ladies pretty ladies out on the grill

• 51:36
  Speaker 1: food and so I give him all of that. We
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: have cocktails, we laugh, we talk. It's so much, so
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: much fun and you just kind of let your hair
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: down and you just come to the table. So I
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: encourage everybody this fall. You have to check it out
• 51:49

• 51:56
  Speaker 1: I love that audience. I just love being out there
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: with interest by doctor Oz because you know, you're the
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: word doctor. He's built a career on being a medical expert.
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: And you've seen this show evolved the last few year.
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: Is evolved to a lifestyle show. A lifestyle show. So
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: when you get the call to appear old Doctors, what
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: were the first thought? Was that healthy concept running through
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: your mind? Or when when you got the call to
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: do doctors before you realize you know something, I could
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: just be me and you know what, that's exactly what
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: it is because I'm a classically trained chef. I mean
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: I'm traveled all over the world and I've cooked all
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: over the world. So when I got the call, I
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: was like, Okay, now the world can just see what
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: a different type of chef looks like. I don't dress
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: like what show. I don't. I don't feel like when
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: people see me they're like, you're a chef. You don't
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: look like a chef? What does that look like? I
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: just look like a woman that love to have fun
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: in the kitchen and give people good food. So when
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: they said we want you to bring your perspective to
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: the kitchen and bring your your career beyond slaver and
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: your southern dishes and just bring the part be I'm like,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: that is exactly what I want to do. And the
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: party doesn't always have to be deep fried and smother
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: than anything. You can have a party and keep it
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: light and cute and fun, and then we can go
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: for the comfort food. So I love to give people
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: just a wide range and always pair something with a
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: fun cocktail on mocktail, because you know, it's always a
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: party when you have a good drink in your hand.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: So I just love to just I'm the party. I
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: am the life of the party, and I'm my motto
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: is life is a party, so you have to live
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: it like one. So and that's just what I bring
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: every Wednesday. We know the fun part about hearing you grow,
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: that's a that's a brand as a talent. You know,
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: I can hear your boss is so much stronger, so
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: much more detail, and because you know, opportunities to keep
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: coming anyway, because we all know we're just trying to
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: get in the lane. We're just trying to get out there.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: And then when you start getting a doctor, you get
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: a People magazine, it starts giving you the confidence. Okay,
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: I am. People are recognizing that what I do is
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: a reality because we all have dreams. And that's the thing.
