  Speaker 1: I see what you're doing with your brain. First of all,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: you know, following on LinkedIn, following on social media and
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: on LinkedIn, you know you look beautiful. You look beautiful. Okay, okay,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you know that? What what? What? What you want to
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: talk about? It's about branding and presenting yourself in a
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: successful look and upbeat look. Because of the fact that
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: you're a motivator and and and this business, you have
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to look a certain way to talk a certain way.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about your brain in and what you're presenting
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: out there in the entremreneural space. Let's talk about that first. Well, yeah,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: you know, right now, I've been talking a lot about uh,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: pivot on purpose, how to pivot on purpose? And as
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: we're recording this, as you know, we're in the midst
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of this, uh, you know, a lot of upheaval, you know,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: with a pandemic and racial unrest and all the civil
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: unrest and everything that is fair and unfair happening in
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the world. And more than ever, we need to pivot
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: on purpose. And the way you do that is you,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you know, look at your gifts and talents and uh
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and and look for ways to express them given the
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: current situation, so you look for opportunity. There's a brand
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: new perspective and so my brand and I'm so proud
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: of it. You know, back in the day, we weren't thinking,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you know, back when you know, you and I were
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: doing what we were doing and building ourselves in the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: comedy world. We weren't thinking, oh, this is our brand,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: but knowing that every step that you take is all
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: um uh, every step that you take, and as you
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: are aware of your gifts and talents, it's all a
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: part of your brand. It's all a part of the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: building of who you are, the message that you've come
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: here to to give. And this is whether you're This
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: is not even for people who are in show business,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: not even for people who are entrepreneurs. All of us
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: now are are requested and required to pull on our gifts.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: So to to to UH, I should said, um rely
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: on our gifts in a new way. And so I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: figured out a while ago Rashan that just being a
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: sitcom actress, while that is awesome, it's not gonna. It's
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: not enough. Just the stand up comedian, while it's awesome,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and there are people for whom that's what they do
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: and they do well. I knew that I had other
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: aspects of my gifting that needed to come forth. There
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: or the Kim Calls brand has the stand up comedy,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the sitcom actress, the author, and the entrepreneur who teaches
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: entrepreneurs how to find their gifts. And so this is
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: about expansions. This is also about at this time when
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: everything has slowed down and has stopped from some people's perspectives,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and it has. It has not slowed down for me
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: nor for anyone that I that I want to um
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: have any coach or have any influence over. Now is
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the time to be pivoting on purpose and be thinking
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of new way to use your gifts. It's actually an
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: opportunity and I am equal to the challenge because if
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: you are well, you know, I really love your tone,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: and you know, it almost feels like when I'm talking
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: to you, it's like I'm looking at I'm talking, I'm
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: listening to a professor, a professor and uh, I'm doing
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: you know. I mean, you know, I interview a lot
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: of people, okay and so, and you're one of my
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: favorite people. I tell you that, and you're like, really
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: is you are? That you are because of the fact
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that because of the fact that I always marvel at UH,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the ability to UH to be committed because what you're
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: doing is a bigger commitment than being an actress a comedian,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: because people are responding to your brand from to say
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you can change my life. Nobody's as a telling the
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: joke is to commedian, nobody said I change their life
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: telling the joke or write in the script. But what
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: you're doing with community the mastermind, you're changing lives. And
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: so that's then it comes to the responsibility of being
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: able to be there when people need an understand and
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: coaching them that the downtime is not a flaw. That's
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: part of the process. At downtime, nobody's up forever. You know,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: you have to be ready for that down moment so
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you can go back up. And that's for the planning process.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And that's why you have a monthly subscription. Correct I do,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: and I love you know. I thought I was real
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: cute when I came up with the name community. So
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it's k I am you and I t wine mastermind
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: dot com. And what it really is about is creating
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: a community of like minded individuals in which my business
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: partner and I coached them through building their business self care.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Like you know, we just did a class last week
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: on I noticed that most of the ladies just said,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: I'm overworked, I got too much on my plate. I
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: don't know what to do next, and so we did
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: a masterclass on self care. Now, self care doesn't just
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: mean getting me a facial and getting you weave kite
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: and get your nails done. It really means rest. It
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: means setting boundaries. It means saying no where saying yes
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: would deplete you further. It means filling your cups so
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: that you can serve others. And so I am passionate
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: about helping people to find that find those resources. We
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: give them the resources to uplevel their lives so that
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: my ladies are more busy now than they were before.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: The pandemic hit because they realized I've got a vision,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I've got to keep going, and I'm building an empire
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: for myself that will last longer than than than me.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: This is about building legacy, and we know that our
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: people more than ever need to be having this legacy conversation.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: And so I get to do that and it makes
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: me so happy. And I didn't know this was my
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: gift until I was in a down spiral, a downtime,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: you know, two thousand eight, which was plus but everybody was.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: When I figured out, oh wait a minute, I've better
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: figure out some other things to do and not be
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: reliant on a studio head saying yes she's the one
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: or ocean to lose some weight or be or you know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: could she could you just read the lines as we
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: wrote them. I'm like, okay, I can do that in
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: this space. But in this space over here, I can
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: create a community. Uh and and create change. Do you
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? And that's why that's why I
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: love talking to you. Because of the fact that your
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: success pattern as a as an entertainer. Okay, that's that's
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: an entertainer, okay. And and you you absolutely tell them
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: the truth sometimes we we we don't know what our
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: gifts are because of the fact that we're so focused
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: on what people telling us. This is where you make
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: your money. This is direct, that's the door you're supposed
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: to open. Going that door, do what they tell you
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: to do, come out, and you live a successful life.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that that's the long term success.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: And because in the end, the Kim I talked to now,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying I didn't like the Kim I knew before,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: but the Kim I talked to now is such a
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: worldly voice, such a voice of confidence, such a voice
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: of this is what I want to do for myself.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I can still do that other stuffle shure and do
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: it outstandingly, but it's my option now. That is what
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: I like about what I'm talking to, and that's what
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: I try to tell people on the show. And when
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I see what you're doing, I gotta promote it. And
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I'm mad because you did this this session, you and
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: you and you just mentioned it on my show. We
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: just didn't retreat and didn't even contact me. And I
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: keep telling your little skinny behind. I put you on
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: my social media. I got almost a million follows I
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: got a name eight thousand and it's got on the car.

• 9:28
  Speaker 1: because you're brilliant. But guess what I gotta hear about
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the stuff when you come on my show. Should I
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: be upset with Kim Coke? You rooting to not be

  Speaker 1: to All details will be coming soon, so just hold on. Accepted,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: except because you know why, because because because the fact

  Speaker 1: of the matter is that you, it's a clear understanding
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: that the COVID ninteen is not going to go away.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go back to you know, live events. There

  Speaker 1: world but people have a clear understanding that it's okay
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to do virtual events to virtual retreats and all these things.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And guess what you have to be at the forefront
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: of that to be able to take advantage of it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: What made you understand that there was a business at
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: tunity in the at this level? Kim, Well, when when
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you know, it's so funny. It was a domino effect.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: When so I've been making most of my way through speaking,
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: so when i'm you know, I'm not on the show,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and we'll talk about in the cut in just a moment,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: but we filmed all that in January. It was done.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I had a full schedule of speaking events, you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: women's empowerment events, entrepreneurial events, just and it was a
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: domino effect that one after the other after the other
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: after the other got they got canceled and I was like,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: oh my goodness, So you know this is now March
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: and April and May were canceled, and in May, June,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: July and all just got canceled. This it just kept
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: going and some of these events are like, we're not
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: going to even try until I was like, well, if
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: my main source of connecting to people other than online, uh,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: meaning like you know, doing my own things online, is
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: why don't I just create a X thing online? And
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: so captivating conversations provided me an opportunity to do a
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: five day summit with thirty speakers, some of them you
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: know from you know, I call them my busin besties,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: my Hollywood besties, and my real besties. And they each
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: came on and talked about their their perspective on how
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to thrive. At this time, I had a meditation coach.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I had you know, various business um um folks teaching
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: people how to take their business online. It was like,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, I can headline my own events all
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: from my living room, and so why not do that again?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: So yes, we'll be live again together. I'm miss hugging folks.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: My team gets mad at me because I'll hug people.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: Think Clarence to my hugs. You come over in for hugs,
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: but you mean you know that that's that's that's uh,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: that's and and that's really interesting you say that because
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: you know, with this whole COVID it just really changed
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: away we emotion, you leave, treat each other, you know, basically,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you know, it's it's a disconnect, and you know, and
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: I kind of I kind of wonder how that's going
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: to affect this generation of young people and children, because
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: COVID nineteen is not gonna go away. It's not gonna
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: go away, and so I don't think it's gonna go away.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: And I hate these I mean, I know we have
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to wear a mask, but I don't like that you
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: can't see I'm smiling at your Is that that's exactly
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: the truth. That's exactly true. Is that you don't understand.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: And I and sometimes I see people I try to smile,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: that go they don't see me smiling, dummy, They don't,
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: you know, they don't. I want to acknowledge people that
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: I feel good about them being around me in the
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: grocery store and things of that nature, because it really
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: does take your your temperament down a notch knowing that
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you can't you can't let everybody know what's going on.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: In your life. So it's really, it really is amazing
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that your value to me, your value to me is
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: what you're doing on this side of the table. And
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the and the beauty of it is that you know
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: this is only going to get bigger for you and
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and so what is the future, What is the future
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: of codes? But also to you immunity, you know, well,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: so I've got the community Mastermind, like I said, that's
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: a monthly membership. Then I've got I just enrolled a
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: group of ladies and something I call speak and get clients.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: So we know that this is called the money making show,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: right money? So it's you think people how to use
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: their stories in order to connect with potential customers and
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: clients and sell their products and goods and services. Nothing
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: better than listen. We can't smile with each other because
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: of these dag on me. But when I share with
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: you my story of the challenges I've come through and
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: why I created this fill in the blank, this book,
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: this course, this product that now will solve your solution,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: the best way for me to share it is through
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: my story. So I teach that. So there's that, and
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: then there is every thing else that goes along with it.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: You know the products that that come out of the ideas.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: You know, the T shirts if you think that there
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: won't be a T shirt for the for the captivating
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: conversations perfectly for thinking the proper, then all those things,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and then the and and more coaching, more and more coaching.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: And I do all this while sitting in you know, like,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not a person right now that's creating my own
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: creative projects in terms of Hollywood. Like I don't have
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a sitcom idea that I'm trying to pitch right now.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I don't have a movie idea that I'm trying to
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: pitch right now. I'm letting keeping myself afloat and keeping
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: myself out there with this aspect of my gift while
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I audition and do these other things. So I'm sure
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: that one day there will be a sitcom from me
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: or you know something. But waiting and not waiting for
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: them has provided me the opportunity to create my own
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: So there there might be a new YouTube show coming
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: or to ask you about that. Come on, now, let's
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: talk about that. They gotta come, It gotta come. It's
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: time for acast. It has to come. It has to come.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: And I would and I'm gonna tell you something. I
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: would do it. You know, podcasts are cool, but I
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: would do it through YouTube first. If I would do
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: it both, you know, if you can, you know, take
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: the audio, drop it on your YouTube and build those subscribers. Okay,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: because of the fact that you're you you you. I
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: was just telling you got it, Kim, you got it.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: I you know, I hear, I see it. It's it's
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: it's a it's a structure in your boars. You put
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: one sentence and one word after the next, no stumbling.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: You you got the tone, you got the conversation, you
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: got the ability to motivate, and you are very nice
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: in your approach. In other words, you know, it's like
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: it's like you're putting the hand on my back and
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: saying you can do it, and I'm gonna show you how,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: which means that it's much more, much more empowering because
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: you're not gonna leave me at the door and close
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: it behind me. Well, and you're right, and I think
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: that we have enough people who are, um, you know,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: wanting to be sort of on top. Is the one
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: that's in control of everything. I'm saying, let's all grow together.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: Let's all build together. What do you bring to the table.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: What do you bring to the table, What do you
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: bring to the table? Great, let's get together and and
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: inspire and motivate more. And and the things is that
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: when we touch each other in that way, it reverberates,
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: that becomes you know, the drop in the pond. So
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the more we collaborate, the more we create experiences for
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: other people. With your platform you have, you know, people
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: can listen and learn and and experience. And it's not
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: just you sitting in your ivory tower going I'm Rashaan,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: and I can create. You're saying. I can create and
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: then I can teach. I can create and then I
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: can share and you can and I can spark it
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: in you two. And we need that more than ever
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: right now. We've we've got to get out of our
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: silos um and I know that this pandemic, you know,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: made us go indoors. We have to find new ways
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: to be with each other. And and this is you know,
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: just some of the ways to do it. Imagine this.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: This is a side note about you know, because the
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: things we're talking about are not time sensitive their reality,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: you know, the pandemic and watching how the overtly affects
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the African American community, the the you know, black Lives
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Matter movement. Uh, seeing white people be more upset than
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: we are, which is really you know, they ain't pulling
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: y'all out of the car, you know that right right?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: But thank you, thank you, thank you. I appreciate you.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Love that. And then you see and then you see
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the need for a vaccine and uh, you know where
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: where is your comfort zone right now? You know, because
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: you're a leader, you're you're motivating us. But it also
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: takes its toll because you can't show weak this, you
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: can't show frail the attack, you can't show that that hey,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I'm uh, this is affected me too, because you have
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: to always to be pro positive, pro planner, PLO thinker.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: How's it affecting you? Well, you know that's interesting. It's
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: finding that fine line between allowing yourself to be vulnerable
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: and other people to see you be vulnerable. Um actually
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: makes you even more human, right and it makes you
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: I think it helps people to relate to you. I
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: know that what I'm doing right now for my self
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: care is I am I I can't go out, so
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: I stay within. And what I mean by that is
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: I'm doing a lot of spiritual work at this time.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: I'm a lot of I'm doing a lot of work
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: where I fill my cup so much so that when
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: I do, when I am in a position to help
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: or coach or be that I am as full as
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I can be, even given this ugly, this ugly experience.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: And there will be times when I wring my head
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: in my hands too and just go like, what is
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: going on? I don't know what the answers are. There's
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: so much out there that is um confusing. Uh. I
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: can be very depressing, but it's it's upon me to
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: keep my spirits up so I can then keep the
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: spirits of others. And what I do is, I don't
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not a person that's going to fall
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: on the bed hooping and holland crying and let people
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: see it. Just I'll let you know I did that.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: I let you know I dried look tears and got
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: it together. And this is what I did to get
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: myself together. And if you want to fall in the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: bed hooping holland, I don't know that I'm going to
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: instagram that live, but I will tell you that I
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: just finished crying. I got myself together, and here's what
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I did. And so it's finding that balance for yourself,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: finding that harmony. And remember early on I put up
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a post that you know, there were lots of people
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: talking about being strong and I'm a warrior and all that,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: and then I put up this post and said, if
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you need to cry, cry, if you need to be quiet,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: be quiet. If you need to pull the covers off
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: your head for a minute, it's perfectly understandable. And then
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: get the tools that you need to keep you going.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Find the perspective, find the joy, joyful moments in there,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: because they are there. There are opportunities right now for
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: us to connect in new ways that are required. And
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: I believe Rashaan was all in my heart that the
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: light must win over the dark, you know, human, That's
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about about. I can't talk, but I
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: can't talk like that. I felt like, you know, I
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: felt like I was in uh, you know, like one
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: of the saw dusts. Well, you know, the hot rocks
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: on my back. And then you know, ain't nobody touching me.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I'm just hearing your voice. The well, we couldn't last,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: We wouldn't you know, when people say it's the end
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: of the end of everything is we know it. I'm like, yeah,
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: the end of some stuff. But we've lasted this long.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: There's no way that we can't come through this. That's
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: the way, absolutely, I don't you know. Yeah, I truly
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: believe and trust that you understand what we're talking about.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: And then let's Billy is gonna be mad. I've talked
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: like twenty three minutes with you and we haven't even
• 22:25

  Speaker 1: it is to be working with this brother who said
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: keep cold, just come on into work on Monday and
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: got the audition. Remember, so you know, you know, the
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: knowing that I built up enough of the reputation. Uh
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and and quality of work that somebody could just say,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: you don't have to audition, just I'll see you on
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: the third or whatever the date was. So that's number one.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: To be on a set that is such a family
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: oriented set. You know, you've got Bentley who knows what
• 23:23

• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Uh and um, you know, I'm playing a character unlike

• 23:58
  Speaker 1: that to have all crazy and to play with Mark
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Curry in this way, who is the good things about
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: Mark Curry is that he keeps you on your toes

  Speaker 1: because you never know what he's gonna do, and so
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: that sharpens my tool, that sharpest mind. It's like, oh,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: he's a great person to play with in that way
• 24:16
