• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I've learned this about changes about growth. A year ago,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: when I was doing this show, I was trying to
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: find myself. Two years ago, I was I had no
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: voice I had I didn't know why I was talking
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: to people. I didn't even know what the show was about.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Every day, I'm starting to discover the difference that this

  Speaker 1: show is making the people to people's people's lives, and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: also how people are trying to get on the show.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Every day, I'm starting to get contacted by the various
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: people talking about can I get on your show? This
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: is why I should be on your show. And that's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: important to know that I'm developing a brand that other
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: people want to be a part of, and I'm developing
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a brand that is resonating with people because they feel
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that I'm making a difference and not only in their lives,
• 2:17

• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a balanced life. That's really important about living a balanced life.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Is really important about doing the things that you want
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to do in your life. It's really important about waking
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: up and having the reason to wake up, because I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: can promise you the average person is waking up because
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: they're just waking up. I actually wake up and I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: know why I'm getting up. Do you really know why
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you're getting out of bed? I do? I do every
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: day I wouldn't get out of bed. Those days that
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know they are day. They got about four
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: days a year. I don't know why I'm getting up.

  Speaker 1: Those are the worst days of my life. I just
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: laying bed, I get up and that go. I don't

  Speaker 1: even function correctly. So I have to have a plan
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: when I go to sleep. I don't know about you people.

  Speaker 1: I don't know about the every day purpose. I don't
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: know about the average person. But Ri Shan mcdald go

• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I tell you every time I call you, how much
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you've changed my life. When I see him in person,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: I remind him how much he's changed my life. Because
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: sometimes if you if you don't tell people that, they
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: might think I was just playing around, you know, joking. No,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not joking. You know. I was doing a radio
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: show and I was just doing the interview. Their book
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: to Cut came into my life. I read it because
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: it was my assignment to read books, to be able
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: to make sure you understand what I was interviewing. And
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: guess what I got smart this time. I applied the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: information in that book to my personal life. I lost
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: nine pounds in ten days and too much. I lost
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: sixteen pounds have not gained it back because he changed
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: my life. I'm saying, he being Obie now Morris, I
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I got him, but I talked to Obie all the time.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: So I'm getting Obi the most credit here because I
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: talked to him. I don't have any bad days when
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I talked to him because he's always inspired me to greatness.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Now you've got this new this this this challenge here?
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: How did this come about? How the challenge came about?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: We had so many women emailing us about how can
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I get in better shape at home? How can I
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: These are my problem areas. These are the areas where
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I gained weight, and a lot of for women, the
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: biggest problem area where they gained weight is the tricept,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the back of the arm, the butt, and the thigh.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: So we were overwhelmed with so many emails from women
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: on how to get in better shape at home because, uh,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you know, che is beyond a lot of people are
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: intimidated by going into the gym, you know what I mean. Um,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And so if you can create an environment where someone
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: is comfortable, they relaxed, Um, they're not intimidated, then uh,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: they have the motivation to actually exercise and do what's needed.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And so with those emails that that motivate us to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: let's do a New Year's resolution challenge. You know, let's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: start this off, and we want this thing to being
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: in every year thing, regardless of how well it does.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: This is just us opportunity to to really really give back,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: even if it doesn't do you know, crazy numbers and stuff.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: It's really about Typically the first three months of the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: year is really when people are trying to make a change,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and we want to capitalize on those individuals. Say look,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: we've got a program that will help you. And you
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: can't say, well, I can't do that because you are
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: no no, no, no, no, no, no no. We got modifications,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: precicides you can't do. So there's no excuse whatsoever. You
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: can't do a body squad go all the way, then
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: you do a half squad. I know you can ben
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit, you can bend a half away, you
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. And so just still working out
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: and so um it's this New Year's Resolution sixty day challenge.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: You got motivational videos, home exercise videos, body type diet plans.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: Morris is motivating you every day as well as myself.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: We have amazing uh female fitness instructors that are background
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: talent that help also as well with the program. It's
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: a really great program because it's only some what you
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: can learn from a book seeing some still photos of
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Morris and I and the black and white photos in
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the book, right, and now you got videos, you know,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and we we live in a visually stimulated society, let's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: be honest, you know. Yeah, wow, And you know the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: think of the thing about is that. Let me ask
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: you this when I when I talk about what is
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: what is the promotional campaign that you guys are putting together?
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Because I'm just like I like to I like to
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: believe I'm launching the campaign, so I know there's there
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: there's an opportunity to out there in the media. What's
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the what's the schedule of getting the word out about
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: this campaign? Right? What majority of the marketing we're gonna
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: be doing will be next month? Um? You know we
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: we are scheduled for CNN Headline News next weekend in Atlanta.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: And then um uh, I don't believe We're doing Kelly
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: and and Ryan Show February thirteen, more doing that to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: promote the show as well as a challenge, and then
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: um shooting Rachel Ray tentatively February fourteen, which were their
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: February twenty x and then when Morris is promoting his
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: TV show Live with all these live daytime talk shows
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: on the twenty fifth of February, which is when the
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: show airs The Enemy Within on NBC. I'm gonna promote
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: because that's my boy. Uh. He will also be be
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: plugging in the Challenge show. Uh. I'm just grateful that
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I got a partner that that is all in and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: he's willing to basically use the vehicle of the show
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to to promote what we're trying to do, because really
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: it's we're trying to help people. This is we're talking
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: about health and wellness. We're talking about helping you become better,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you know, be be better physically, because when you're better physically,
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: when you're better mentally, you're gonna be better physically. They
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: all it's like this whole mind and body connection. It
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: it all is all related to one another, you know,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and that's important. Now you mentioned something about people being
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: afraid of the gym. Um, why is that? I think
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: it's because, Um, it's intimidating walking around with somebody that
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: looks better than you. That's it. When someone is so
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: super fit, um muscular, it starts, it starts to you
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: get this weird reflection upon yourself or man, I'm not
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: even I don't even belong here. You know why why
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: should we have to feel we don't belong somewhere because
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: someone looks better than you physically, it is in better shape.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: So you know, you can create an environment where someone
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: can get in shape and they can watch videos and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: they're in the comfort of our own home. They're not
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: trying to compare themselves to other people because be honest,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: you go to the gym, you're gonna start in paying
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: of it. What am I doing here? You know? Now
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: we've got social media where people do it on social media,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: so it's like, you know what you don't have, You
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: have me and Morris encouraging you to to you know,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: go get through each exercise. We're talking you through. We
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: have nobody around you. You're inside your home. You can
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: even do with your husband or your kids. You know
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: what we talk about. Thirty minutes minutes you're done, and
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you gotta diet, diet plan to follow along with your
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: body types, you know. So it's it's really um, I
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: love it. You know. I don't like to compare to
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: pen Need insanity because that's a little bit too crazy.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: So it's a little bit down level. You know, I
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: tell you right now, I'm not even gonna think about
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that process. You know, this this program here man, because
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. You know, when you when
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: you look at a person like me, I'm a little lazy,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: I'm a little lazy, and so I have to be
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: motivated to do something I think I feel fitting to
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: my lazy plan. I'm gonna your others with you. You know,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go out there and then, you know,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: do these massive amount of way to do something for
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: an hour or spread up a hill, or or do
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a hundred and twenties ship ups. I'm I'm not doing it.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I'm not doing it. But I want to do a
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: program that accommodates who I am as a person. And
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: that's what this program accommodations, ro Sean McDonald. It would
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: accommodate you, and it accommodates to everyday person. When I
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: look at those other programs out there, when they sliding
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: across the floor and they sweating, and they got half,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: they they got flat. You know you know what Rashaan,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: everything that you what you just said, most people on
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: society go through mentally. I'm a fitness guy, I was
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: an athlete, a top athlete high school and college. I've
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: been working out more than half of my life. I
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: have the same everything that you go through. Mentally, I
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: go through the same things more than half of the time.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I don't want to work out. I'd rather be in
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: a conference room, whether Rashan McDonald or someone else striking
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: a business deal. I get more stimulated out of that.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: And I've been doing it for such a long time,
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: and I try to share that with people like Look,
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: I go through the same things mentally too. A lot
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: of times I don't want to go in there, but
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: I have to do different things to trick myself and
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: mentally motivate myself. So if a fitness guy like myself,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: this is what he does for a living, it's saying
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: I do the same things too. I'm no different than
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: you mentally. But it's the motivation, That's what it's about.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: It's the motivation. Well, motivate us to tell us and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: tell us where we gotta go so we can, you know,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: start our year off right. Not only start our year right,
• 13:04
