4:34
Speaker 1: two point five million people. So I thought it would

4:38
Speaker 1: reache on McDonald. It was two point five million people
4:40
Speaker 1: watch this, okay, and it was o t b N.
4:43
Speaker 1: But you know me, Stecy, I always like to just
4:46
Speaker 1: go deeper into what I the people, and I went
4:49
Speaker 1: to the comments section and and I wanted to just
4:51
Speaker 1: grab three comments that came out of this and and
4:55
Speaker 1: and I want to talk about them because one was
4:57
Speaker 1: from this young ladies, just your music save life. After
5:01
Speaker 1: my mom passed away, I had a bad depression. I
5:04
Speaker 1: locked myself in my room listen to your albums over
5:07
Speaker 1: and over, and it brought me out. Thank you, miss c.
5:10
Speaker 1: C Wines. Another one was I too lost my daughter
5:14
Speaker 1: last year, reacting to the earlier coming. I just read
5:18
Speaker 1: CC's music has been such a calm and effect on me.
5:21
Speaker 1: I wasn't even looking for this album believe for it,
5:24
Speaker 1: believe for it, but I guess God knew I needed it,
5:28
Speaker 1: so Holy Spirit lead me to it. So I listened
5:31
Speaker 1: to it, and I listened to it and I listened
5:32
Speaker 1: to it. Thank you, Father for using CC to bring
5:35
Speaker 1: your message to so many people. I appreciate you, Lord God.
5:39
Speaker 1: And then the last one was C. C. God richly
5:43
Speaker 1: blessed you. I was so depressed, but after worshiping you,
5:46
Speaker 1: wish you listening to your music, I was lifted. I
5:50
Speaker 1: have tears in my eyes as I write this. Anytime
5:52
Speaker 1: I listened to your songs. They're so uplifting and they're
5:56
Speaker 1: such a blessing, you know, not trying to bring this
5:59
Speaker 1: interview down that trying to get churchy, But when I
6:01
Speaker 1: read stuff like that, I gotta bring it to your
6:03
Speaker 1: attention because sometimes I would tell people like you, you're grinders.
6:06
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. And sometimes you can just go,
6:08
Speaker 1: that's what you know, That's what's what I do. But
6:10
Speaker 1: you also need to know what you do. You you're
6:14
Speaker 1: singing your heart, your your blessings, how they affect people.
6:17
Speaker 1: When I read something like that, knowing that you are
6:20
Speaker 1: tied to the church founded the church in Nashville. Talked
6:23
Speaker 1: to my artists for a minute about that. Um, well,
6:27
Speaker 1: first of all, it makes me want to cry, brings
6:30
Speaker 1: tears to my eyes. Um, you know for sure when
6:35
Speaker 1: I was let me see, I was probably about seventeen
6:39
Speaker 1: years old when BB and I started singing, and um,
6:44
Speaker 1: when I was older than that. I was older that
6:46
Speaker 1: we started it on the TV show years ago, and
6:51
Speaker 1: starting out that young as a teenager, um, seventeen eighteen
6:56
Speaker 1: years old, nineteen years old, you get a lot of
6:59
Speaker 1: male from young people. And I realized at that time
7:05
Speaker 1: because I received a piece of male from a young
7:08
Speaker 1: lady back then, and she was telling me how she
7:12
Speaker 1: was listening to the radio and how our song came
7:14
Speaker 1: on the radio and how she was contemplating suicide and
7:19
Speaker 1: after hearing our songs, she decided to give life another try. Um,
7:26
Speaker 1: that hit me so hard that I would never forget it.
7:32
Speaker 1: I realized then that my music was not about just entertainment. Yes,
7:39
Speaker 1: we want people to enjoy it. We want them to
7:43
Speaker 1: you know, get excited about it, laugh, dance, enjoy it
7:48
Speaker 1: with with their their their families and all of that
7:51
Speaker 1: come to the concerts. But I realized that the power
7:54
Speaker 1: of music, it's powerful enough to really impact people in
8:00
Speaker 1: such a way that it's it's literally life or death.
8:03
Speaker 1: And so as a as a as a young person,
8:06
Speaker 1: I had to rethink what God was sending me to do.
8:12
Speaker 1: And and so reading those comments and hearing those comments
8:15
Speaker 1: today that you just shared with me, Um, it just
8:18
Speaker 1: reinforces the power of music. It's powerful when it's positive,
8:24
Speaker 1: and it's powerful when it's negative, you know. Um. But
8:28
Speaker 1: but singing the gospel, singing the scripture, singing the word,
8:36
Speaker 1: it actually gives life, you know. And so I am
8:39
Speaker 1: honored I'm privileged to be able to sing gospel music
8:43
Speaker 1: and I'm humbled that God would use a young lady
8:47
Speaker 1: from Detroit, Michigan, you know, um to touch people in
8:51
Speaker 1: such a way that it literally saves their lives. And
8:56
Speaker 1: so I am speechless. Thank you so much for sharing,
8:59
Speaker 1: and for those who rode in, thank you so much
9:03
Speaker 1: for sharing your testimony, because, um, it's life changing for me.
9:08
Speaker 1: It's why we do what we do. Uh. The awards
9:12
Speaker 1: are great, you know when you're introducing me all the
9:16
Speaker 1: the different things that we've won over the years, I'm
9:18
Speaker 1: so humbled by it, but that's not why we do
9:21
Speaker 1: what we do. We do what we do to hear
9:24
Speaker 1: those testimonies that you just share. It's finally here, the
9:28

Speaker 1: why you started on Mother's Day and great, great, thank
13:06
Speaker 1: you so much for bringing that up. Even what you're
13:09
Speaker 1: saying as far as embracing the times, embracing the new
13:12
Speaker 1: way of doing things. It's not easy because you know,
13:15
Speaker 1: I've been out here doing this a long time, and uh,
13:18
Speaker 1: the industry has changed drastically from the time that you know,
13:23
Speaker 1: I started and now um, and so getting used to
13:27
Speaker 1: the all the Instagrams and the facebooks and everything that's
13:32
Speaker 1: happening now the podcast it's just, UM, it can be overwhelming,
13:36
Speaker 1: but you have to be willing to embrace change. You
13:40
Speaker 1: have to be willing to to do the new, you know,
13:43
Speaker 1: because what God has given me. Um, I have the
13:48
Speaker 1: responsibility of stewarding it will you know, and UM, it's
13:53
Speaker 1: it's it brings challenges, but we all have to be willing.
13:56
Speaker 1: If you're want to grow, you have to be willing
13:59
Speaker 1: to embrace challenging times, you know, and challenges that's how
14:02
Speaker 1: we grow. And so but but but Generations. Ah, I've
14:08
Speaker 1: been wanting to start rather as a conference or ministry
14:14
Speaker 1: for for everybody, but especially women, UM of different ages
14:20
Speaker 1: you know. Um. Like I said, when I started out,
14:23
Speaker 1: I was about oh, singing professionally, maybe about sixteen years old.
14:28
Speaker 1: I'm fifty six now, soon to be fifty seven, and
14:32
Speaker 1: my mom is still with me, who's an amazing woman
14:35
Speaker 1: of God. And a lot of times we live in
14:37
Speaker 1: this culture that we as we get older, people seem
14:41
Speaker 1: to think you lose your value. But I I believe
14:44
Speaker 1: that you become more valuable the older you get. Um
14:47
Speaker 1: And my mom is still with me. She's eighty four
14:50
Speaker 1: years old, soon to be eighty five. And I wanted
14:54
Speaker 1: to make sure, you know, because so many times we
14:56
Speaker 1: sit back and after someone's gone, we wish we would
14:58
Speaker 1: have done this, We wish we would have done that.
15:01
Speaker 1: And I want to encourage everybody who's hearing me today,
15:03
Speaker 1: move on what God has put in your heart. Stop
15:07
Speaker 1: waiting for the perfect time, because the perfect time is now.
15:10
Speaker 1: You know. It's never a perfect time to do, to do,
15:14
Speaker 1: to step out and to do the new, you know.
15:17
Speaker 1: And so coming together, it was important to bring my
15:21
Speaker 1: mom and now to bring my daughter who's a new mom,
15:24
Speaker 1: and so that we could understand the the power of generations,
15:30
Speaker 1: the power of love, the power of family, the power
15:34
Speaker 1: of God's faithfulness to every generation, and also to find
15:38
Speaker 1: out and to learn, you know, I I am who
15:41
Speaker 1: I am today because I had a mother who took
15:44
Speaker 1: out time to pour into me. Um And and we
15:48
Speaker 1: have to take out time to pour into the younger generation.
15:51
Speaker 1: I'm here to pour into my daughter. Because your prayer
15:55
Speaker 1: for your children is that they will do better than
15:58
Speaker 1: what you've done. Absolutely, and that's really important that you
16:03
Speaker 1: say that because it's not about paying it for It's
16:06
Speaker 1: just that you know, I was, I have a daughter.
16:07
Speaker 1: I've been blessed, married thirty three years. So you got
16:10
Speaker 1: me by four he got me a boy four years. Okay, okay,
16:12
Speaker 1: good by for you and so and you know those
16:16
Speaker 1: those years they have challenges because nothing's ever easy. But
16:21
Speaker 1: it's about communication. It's about communication when we look at it.
16:23
Speaker 1: And when you say, when you talk about change, I
16:25
Speaker 1: remember when I was managing Steve Harvey. You know we
16:27
Speaker 1: had this uh I was resisting the Twitter and the
16:31
Speaker 1: social media because we had a radio for Man that
16:34
Speaker 1: was syndicated. We had a fan club or like a
16:37
Speaker 1: million fan club subscribers like go, why do I need
16:40
Speaker 1: this new technology? Because you need it because you have
16:44
Speaker 1: to be able to be topical, You have to be relevant.
16:46
Speaker 1: You have to be able to understand how people are communicating,
16:49
Speaker 1: not saying what you're doing, and you shouldn't stop what
16:51
Speaker 1: you're doing, like and I still have a news letter,
16:53
Speaker 1: but I also social media, also have well, I also
16:56
Speaker 1: have podcasts. I also do things on YouTube. All these
17:00
Speaker 1: things have value, and all these things can bring in revenue.
17:03
Speaker 1: Now in your whole world that you have created, you know,
17:06
Speaker 1: and these blessings that you received and been recognized for
17:11
Speaker 1: leave for it is your first live recorded album. Now,
17:15
Speaker 1: let's let's walk through that, because I'm just going back
17:17
Speaker 1: to your c C. You know, I'm like, you know,
17:19
Speaker 1: Marvin Gay live, you know, Frankie Beverly Amazed live and
17:23
Speaker 1: do all this. You know, I'm that type of live
17:26
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Yeah that, And but here
17:29
Speaker 1: in your live, you know, it was a different lie.
17:32
Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to party. I was just sitting there
17:34
Speaker 1: being inspired and being able to think about myself in
17:38
Speaker 1: a positive way. And so why did you wait this
17:41
Speaker 1: long for your first live recording? And what did you
17:45
Speaker 1: get out of what? What was you received out of
17:48
Speaker 1: a CC when you when you when you brought everybody
17:51
Speaker 1: together and then they went it's a rap. Yeah I
17:57
Speaker 1: love that question. We'll first of all, I don't have
18:01
Speaker 1: a good answer for you why I waited so long?
18:04
Speaker 1: Because I love the experience of life worship live concerts.
18:09
Speaker 1: We've toured for years and there's nothing like it, you know.
18:13
Speaker 1: But also I guess for me in the studio, when
18:16
Speaker 1: you do a recording in the studio, you're able to
18:18
Speaker 1: kind of listen to it, tweak it, fix this, make
18:22
Speaker 1: sure you know. So that's the value to me and
18:25
Speaker 1: doing in the studio. But I think we just got
18:28
Speaker 1: busy with life and never took out the time to
18:30
Speaker 1: record a live record. I've done live videos, but never
18:34
Speaker 1: released the record that was live. And and again, I
18:38
Speaker 1: just don't have a good answer. I just didn't take
18:40
Speaker 1: out the time. But but this was the time, um,
18:46
Speaker 1: And now that I look back, I see it was
18:48
Speaker 1: really the time because we had planned it before the
18:51
Speaker 1: pandemic happened, and when the pandemic happened, Um, we had
18:57
Speaker 1: to cancel everything because you're first live record, you know,
19:01
Speaker 1: we were we were having it at a place where
19:03
Speaker 1: we wanted about four or five thousand people, and so
19:07
Speaker 1: that wasn't gonna work. And so now I'm looking at
19:11
Speaker 1: doing my first live record with no people, right right right,
19:21
Speaker 1: So so we canceled it, Richard, and then we uh
19:26
Speaker 1: later on towards the end of the year. I felt
19:29
Speaker 1: like it was time. It's like, we have to release
19:32
Speaker 1: this and probably even more so because of the pandemic.
19:36
Speaker 1: A lot of people were isolated. A lot of people
19:39
Speaker 1: didn't have family members. You just said, how you've been
19:42
Speaker 1: married thirty three years. I've been married almost well thirty
19:45
Speaker 1: seven years and uh um. But a lot of people
19:49
Speaker 1: didn't have family, you know, a lot of people were hurting,
19:52
Speaker 1: a lot of people lost family, And so I felt
19:54
Speaker 1: like this record was something that was really needed to
19:57
Speaker 1: create a live experience where I mean, churches were closed down.
20:02
Speaker 1: A lot of people couldn't go to church, you know,
20:04
Speaker 1: and um, that's rough. You used to be in the
20:07
Speaker 1: in the sanctuary with more people and worshiping together. That's
20:11
Speaker 1: a big uh gap in your life when you can't
20:15
Speaker 1: have it. And so I felt like this record was
20:19
Speaker 1: right on time to help people right where they were, um,
20:24
Speaker 1: going through the pandemic and understanding that God was with them,
20:30
Speaker 1: to let them know that they're not forgotten, to let
20:33
Speaker 1: them know, you know, uh, don't give up, don't give in. Um,
20:39
Speaker 1: do the things that we need to do to protect ourselves.
20:42
Speaker 1: But but let's praise God through through the situations and
20:47
Speaker 1: and so after we finished this record, we had people praying.
20:51
Speaker 1: You know, I think during that time you could have
20:53
Speaker 1: maybe fifty people. And so I brought people in who
20:56
Speaker 1: I knew, knew how to pray, and they pray. They
21:00
Speaker 1: prayed throughout that audience. UM, and we had a great time.
21:06
Speaker 1: And after we were done, I was like, Lord, I
21:09
Speaker 1: thank you for your love because I felt the love
21:12
Speaker 1: of God in that room and my prayers that it
21:15
Speaker 1: would be so strong that when people heard it that
21:18
Speaker 1: they would feel it. What grows in the forest trees,
21:22
Speaker 1: Sure you know what else grows in the forest, our imagination,
21:26
Speaker 1: our sense of wonder, and our family bonds grow too,
21:29
Speaker 1: because when we disconnect from this and connect with this,
21:36
Speaker 1: we reconnect with each other. The forest is closer than
21:39
Speaker 1: you think. Find a forest near you and start exploring.
21:43

22:02

Speaker 1: forest dot Org brought to you by the United States
22:48
Speaker 1: Forest Service and the AD Council. Well, that's that's beautiful,
22:52
Speaker 1: you know. The fun the front part about it is
22:54
Speaker 1: that you know, I'll be tell you because it's by
22:56
Speaker 1: being honest. I'm not a daily church coll or weekly
22:59
Speaker 1: curpe okay, you know, but when I go to church,
23:02
Speaker 1: the people even understand this is what sean talking. When
23:05
Speaker 1: I sit down on that pew and somebody maybe to
23:08
Speaker 1: the left of me, maybe to the right. Because I
23:10
Speaker 1: always get on the end. I was I like getting
23:11
Speaker 1: on the end. That's what I said. I would sit
23:13
Speaker 1: on the end. I might be on the end, on
23:15
Speaker 1: the left of the end, of the right. That's that's
23:16
Speaker 1: why I sit. I just I get up and let
23:18
Speaker 1: them go past me. But it's something about um being
23:22
Speaker 1: in the church that allows you just to be in
23:26
Speaker 1: the church. It really is. I don't think about my job,
23:30
Speaker 1: I don't think about my problems, and what I do
23:34
Speaker 1: think about is what I can do with my life
23:37
Speaker 1: and the people I care about. And I also think
23:40
Speaker 1: about forgiving my enemies because I I said prayer, I
23:44
Speaker 1: always I pray for the people I care about, and
23:47
Speaker 1: I also pray for the people that are my enemies
23:50
Speaker 1: because they need to be blessed for some reasons why
23:52
Speaker 1: they I don't know why they're not my enemies, but
23:54
Speaker 1: they're my enemies. But guess what, I'm gonna still gonna
23:56
Speaker 1: get your blessing in my prayer. And so being the
23:59
Speaker 1: person you know, one of the founding pastors of Nashville
24:03
Speaker 1: Life Church and hearing me say this is is that
24:08
Speaker 1: what is the what is what is the goal? When
24:09
Speaker 1: you see a person like me sitting there and you
24:13
Speaker 1: got the choir singing, you got the the people who
24:17
Speaker 1: are naunted preaching and serving the word of God, what
24:21
Speaker 1: is that goal? The goal is for you to have
24:24
Speaker 1: an encounter without Heavenly Father. The goal is for you
24:28
Speaker 1: to just what you were saying, for you to receive
24:32
Speaker 1: what you need. You know, we all come in the church.
24:37
Speaker 1: The church is UM. It's it's a spiritual hospital. We
24:42
Speaker 1: come in for healing. Some of us need healing physically.
24:47
Speaker 1: Some of us need healing from a broken heart. Some
24:49
Speaker 1: of us need healing from you know, the stress that
24:52
Speaker 1: we've been under. You want to be refreshed. You want
24:56
Speaker 1: to be renewed, your mind to be renewed. You want
25:00
Speaker 1: to be a place of escape where you forget about
25:02
Speaker 1: your problems and you forget about everything that you're going through,
25:06
Speaker 1: so that you can receive the wisdom you need, the
25:10
Speaker 1: love you need, the power you need. A lot of times,
25:13
Speaker 1: you have to be reminded of who you are. You know,
25:16
Speaker 1: so many times we can focus on what we don't have.
25:18
Speaker 1: We forget the blessings that we already had. UM And
25:22
Speaker 1: so it's a great place to come to and, like
25:24
Speaker 1: you said, so that you can learn to forgive, to forgive,
25:28
Speaker 1: because a lot of times people are walking unforgiveness and
25:32
Speaker 1: they think they're hurting the other person, but unforgiven, that's
25:34
Speaker 1: only hurts you to bring. Yeah, it weighs you down,
25:38
Speaker 1: you know. And so our goal is always for people
25:41
Speaker 1: to have an encounter with Jesus, to have an encounter
25:44
Speaker 1: with the love of God, because it's through that supernatural
25:48
Speaker 1: touch that your life has changed. So when you go
25:51
Speaker 1: back out, um, you'll go back out different and seeing
25:55
Speaker 1: things from a different perspective. Well, I'm talking to hit
25:59
Speaker 1: album Believe for it is uh is incredible. You should
26:05
Speaker 1: like she said she was. She was wondering how to
26:07
Speaker 1: record it because of COVID. She lost the four thousand
26:10
Speaker 1: seat all the end, and she she broke like, I
26:12
Speaker 1: love what she said. I brought fifty people in that
26:14
Speaker 1: reshow who knew how to pray. You know, they knew
26:16
Speaker 1: how to pray because you pit your real church. You're
26:20
Speaker 1: sitting next to somebody who know how to pray. You go,
26:22
Speaker 1: you got you whoever you're talking to, can you let
26:24
Speaker 1: me talk to him too, because they praying over there? Okay,
26:27
Speaker 1: can I get in that conversation, because you got it
26:29
Speaker 1: all going on right there. But I just want to
26:31
Speaker 1: talk before and let you go about being a trail plazer,
26:34
Speaker 1: because you know, we sit up here talking about not
26:37
Speaker 1: you know, resisting to change. But in eighteen eighty nine
26:41
Speaker 1: you launched the Pure Springs gospel record label. Okay, now
26:45
Speaker 1: see see that's why I gotta bring up. I love
26:47
Speaker 1: talking to people like CC because they act like they
26:49
Speaker 1: well you know, I don't like change, Rishan, but sitting
26:52
Speaker 1: right out there doing change, making change with everybody's going,
26:56
Speaker 1: why are you doing that? Girl? Just go sign that
26:58
Speaker 1: lab over there with that record, they get that check.
27:01
Speaker 1: Do your own time. You're doing too much work. But
27:03
Speaker 1: in the t in that that didn't work for you,
27:06
Speaker 1: tell us about that. As an entrepreneur, Well, you know
27:10
Speaker 1: when you you know, you when I began in this
27:12
Speaker 1: business again, you're you're young, and you're just excited about
27:16
Speaker 1: doing what you do as far as the gift of singing.
27:19
Speaker 1: But you you find out early on that it's a business.
27:23
Speaker 1: You know that the record business is a business, and
27:28
Speaker 1: and you go through a few things that you recognize, oh,
27:32
Speaker 1: this is the way it works, This is what makes sense.
27:34
Speaker 1: You know, you're spending your your time, you're giving everything
27:38
Speaker 1: you have. You want to have something to show for it.
27:41
Speaker 1: You know, you want to be you want to be
27:43
Speaker 1: a wise steward over what God has given you. And
27:46
Speaker 1: so I had wonderful people around me to let me
27:49
Speaker 1: know you could do it. That that encouraged me, because
27:52
Speaker 1: a lot of times we look at things, Richard, and
27:54
Speaker 1: we think that it's it's too hard, it's something that
27:57
Speaker 1: we can't do. It's not that people don't want to
28:00
Speaker 1: do it all the time. A lot of times they
28:01
Speaker 1: feel like they're um, you know, don't have what it takes.
28:06
Speaker 1: But but everybody can learn. You know, you have to
28:09
Speaker 1: be patient and you have to ask questions. And so
28:12
Speaker 1: we were able to do that and start our own
28:14
Speaker 1: label years ago, and I'm so glad I made a
28:18
Speaker 1: major difference and what I was seeing before from my
28:23
Speaker 1: labor um and what I was seeing afterwards. And and
28:28
Speaker 1: so I started educating people and telling people that yeah,
28:32
Speaker 1: if I could, if I did it, you can do
28:33
Speaker 1: it too. You can do it too. And a lot
28:36
Speaker 1: of my friends embrace that, you know, in the industry
28:40
Speaker 1: and started thinking from the entrepreneur side opposed to UM
28:47
Speaker 1: just being an artice, you know, to understanding the importance
28:50
Speaker 1: of of owning and the importance of being in charge,
28:54
Speaker 1: the importance of because that's another thing, especially as a
28:57
Speaker 1: gospel artist, you want to make sure that when you
29:00
Speaker 1: talk about your brand that you're having the last say
29:04
Speaker 1: so because it's not about me. I represent the Father.
29:08
Speaker 1: I represent Um, the one who created all things and
29:12
Speaker 1: who gave us this gift. And and my my aim
29:15
Speaker 1: when we were talking about the goal even in churches,
29:18
Speaker 1: that people will have an encounter with Jesus, that they
29:21
Speaker 1: will receive Um supernatural peace and hope and and all
29:27
Speaker 1: of those good things that God brings. And so it's
29:29
Speaker 1: so important to protect your brand UM. When it comes
29:32
Speaker 1: to that as well, you have to go you have
29:34
Speaker 1: to go above and be I, you know, because it's
29:38
Speaker 1: not about me, but it's about the people that we
29:40
Speaker 1: serve that they will be touched with UM in the
29:44
Speaker 1: right way. And so yeah, being an entrepreneur, yeah you
29:48
Speaker 1: have to be more into the details. But it's it's
29:52
Speaker 1: it's so worth it in so many ways. And I
29:55
Speaker 1: want to encourage people to to think differently, to understand
29:59
Speaker 1: that you and be a business owner, you you want
30:04
Speaker 1: to be involved in and and what's happening not just
30:08
Speaker 1: in your life, but all the opportunities that are out here.
30:11
Speaker 1: Even during this pandemic, even though a lot of things
30:14
Speaker 1: closed down, a lot of things opened up, you know.
30:17
Speaker 1: And again it's how do you look at it? Do
30:20
Speaker 1: you look at it as oh no, or do you
30:22
Speaker 1: look at it this? Could this be an opportunity? Is this?
30:25
Speaker 1: Is there an opportunity here for me? And praying and
30:28
Speaker 1: asking God, you know, Lord, you've given me gifts. We
30:31
Speaker 1: all have individual gifts and very unique gifts. And and
30:36
Speaker 1: and if you pray and ask the Lord to show you,
30:39
Speaker 1: he will. He'll show you. And before you know it,
30:42
Speaker 1: you'll be operating in a in a whole different way,
30:46
Speaker 1: in your whole life will be affected by it. Wow.
30:49
Speaker 1: Like I said earlier, there's no stopping c C. Why
