Speaker 1: country of America? Where yet right now? Sir? I'm not
3:05
Speaker 1: too far from you here in Atlanta? Okay? Great? Great? Um.
3:08
Speaker 1: You know education, I know I come from Houston, Texas,
3:12
Speaker 1: born in fifth ward. Uh my degrees in the mathematics
3:15
Speaker 1: and my minor and sociology, so I know the important
3:18
Speaker 1: of continued education. I always tell people who always tell
3:22
Speaker 1: young people just go to college and just just see
3:25
Speaker 1: what college has to offer to you. How it changed
3:28
Speaker 1: my life. Education changed my life. I would not be
3:31
Speaker 1: talking to you because when I came out of high school, Sean,
3:34
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a forklift driver and got a
3:36
Speaker 1: job for forklift driver. That was my dream because that
3:39
Speaker 1: was those were my mentors. My mentors were guys who
3:42
Speaker 1: don't load the trucks. From our fifteen sixty years old
3:44
Speaker 1: I saw it. I went, wow, this is cool, and
3:46
Speaker 1: I stayed in my mind. Despite having my best friend
3:50
Speaker 1: she graduated. She with the rights and graduated. My other
3:52
Speaker 1: best friends she went to Purdue and graduate. So it
3:54
Speaker 1: wasn't like I was. I was surrounded by a bunch
3:56
Speaker 1: of dummies. My whole little core was smart and I
3:59
Speaker 1: was smart too. But I wanted to take the easy
4:02
Speaker 1: way out, a comfortable way out. I felt, you know,
4:05
Speaker 1: get to that get to that finish line real quick.
4:08
Speaker 1: But but what But that wasn't the right finish line
4:10
Speaker 1: for me. So when we talking about education, that's your passion,
4:14
Speaker 1: I just wanted to tee it up for the type
4:16
Speaker 1: of conversation I'm gonna have with you, and we're gonna
4:18
Speaker 1: go into a lot of things and these UH in
4:20
Speaker 1: this call we have today. But I want to let
4:22
Speaker 1: you know the guy you're talking to was the guy
4:24
Speaker 1: who who was was was not there. I was not that,
4:27
Speaker 1: I was not motivated to pursue a four year opportunity
4:31
Speaker 1: in academics and and and it changed my life. So
4:35
Speaker 1: talk to us about UH education and from your standpoint,
4:40
Speaker 1: I firmly believe that education and is just really it's
4:46
Speaker 1: a key that can unlock so many doors in so
4:50
Speaker 1: many different directions. One of the limiting things that I'm
4:53
Speaker 1: working very very hard for, particularly in urban and culturally
4:56
Speaker 1: diverse schools, as you mentioned, is exposure. We need to
5:00
Speaker 1: be sure that we the bright young scholars in these
5:05
Speaker 1: four walls, in the four walls of these classrooms across
5:08
Speaker 1: this country are being exposed so that they have something
5:11
Speaker 1: to shoot for, and education can do that. What are
5:15
Speaker 1: we exposing them to, what are we allowing them to see?
5:18
Speaker 1: And more importantly, what are we allowing them to see
5:21
Speaker 1: and how they think into that as it can be
5:24
Speaker 1: a contributing member to society. What are we showing them,
5:28
Speaker 1: what are we putting them and how does it connect
5:31
Speaker 1: to their everyday lives. Whether we understand the value and
5:36
Speaker 1: importance of that or not, it is absolutely critical. We
5:40
Speaker 1: need to make sure that we are showing these students
5:42
Speaker 1: what is possible. And that's why I work so hard
5:45
Speaker 1: so that they can see something to shoot for. Let
5:48
Speaker 1: that service the engine that drives them, whether it is
5:51
Speaker 1: that four year degree, whether it is that a two
5:54
Speaker 1: year degree, whether it is a trade, something beyond just
5:58
Speaker 1: going to do the quote, Well, they're minimal and making
6:03
Speaker 1: sex absolutely because I always tell people that, you know,
6:05
Speaker 1: you can't reapa or degree. Okay, my degree in that wall.
6:09
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna come back and gay, Hey man, you know
6:11
Speaker 1: some I'm gonna take that back. They can't do that.
6:13
Speaker 1: I earned that. You know you can. You can't call
6:16
Speaker 1: me stupid, you can't call me a dumby. It's right there. Okay,
6:19
Speaker 1: what story are you telling it? That I've been recognized
6:22
Speaker 1: as a person who knows how to apply himself. I'm
6:24
Speaker 1: goal oriented, okay, and I know how to finish what
6:28
Speaker 1: I start. That's what the degree means to me. And
6:32
Speaker 1: when I talk about listen to your passion is a
6:35
Speaker 1: passion that I didn't have because I didn't understand and
6:38
Speaker 1: so and we know that the stop gap or the
6:41
Speaker 1: the or the jump off point in this game of
6:44
Speaker 1: competition that we call in this country we call America
6:47
Speaker 1: is education because it's not equal. Education not equal, and
6:51
Speaker 1: so which leads to a different story. And I think
6:53
Speaker 1: that private secret, private sector should come in and stop
6:56
Speaker 1: trying that we should stop trying to get the government
6:59
Speaker 1: to fix the situation. And I believe that the sexual
7:02
Speaker 1: chector come in because they're the ones who seek our
7:05
Speaker 1: money in movies, seek our money, and android phones they
7:09
Speaker 1: seek our money, and technology, they seek our money, and
7:12
Speaker 1: grocery stores. They seek our money in so many different ways,
7:15
Speaker 1: but they don't return that money to us when it
7:18
Speaker 1: comes to lifestyle, when it comes to education, making a
7:21
Speaker 1: difference in our community because they've they've they've, they've, they've
7:26
Speaker 1: they've they've, they've developed a nice system, they keep the money.
7:29
Speaker 1: They don't help out anybody but themselves, okay, And then
7:33
Speaker 1: they said the government is supposed to do that. So
7:35
Speaker 1: so that's one of the things that we know when
7:37
Speaker 1: I look at this change in our community is civil unrest,
7:40
Speaker 1: the pandemic. You know, I'm sitting down trying to create
7:44
Speaker 1: an agenda, a plan of action, and the plan of
7:47
Speaker 1: action is the old way ain't gonna work for the
7:50
Speaker 1: new way. So we have to hit a new plan
7:54
Speaker 1: in place for the new way to even have a
7:56
Speaker 1: shot at working. And it has to include the private sector.
8:00
Speaker 1: And that's that's a that's a statement from me. And
8:03
Speaker 1: when I talked to me, to worldly people like you,
8:05
Speaker 1: educated people like you, who know what I'm talking about
8:08
Speaker 1: when I say education is not equal because it's tied
8:11
Speaker 1: to it's tied to property tax. You know, it's tied
8:15
Speaker 1: to the lot of program in each state, which doesn't
8:18
Speaker 1: really do anything for education, like they say, because most
8:21
Speaker 1: of the program going, most of the money goes to
8:22
Speaker 1: the company that sets up a lot of and so
8:25
Speaker 1: and so these things drive me. You know, I've been fortunate. Man.
8:29
Speaker 1: You can google my name and there's a lot of
8:31
Speaker 1: things come up about me, So you have you have
8:33
Speaker 1: an image of who I am or idea who I am?
8:36
Speaker 1: Who is Dr Seaun Woodley? Let me tell you something,
8:40
Speaker 1: Dr Sean Woodley is. I'm a husband, I am a father,
8:46
Speaker 1: I am a believer, and I am an educator. I
8:50
Speaker 1: do a lot of things under that education umbrella, but
8:53
Speaker 1: it all boils that back down to being an educator.
8:58
Speaker 1: I get to leverage my creativity in what I do,
9:03
Speaker 1: and that has that fuels my passion for entrepreneurship. I've
9:08
Speaker 1: been able to uniquely combine the field of education and
9:12
Speaker 1: entrepreneurship to not only do what I love, but serve
9:16
Speaker 1: others while doing it. It's like the it's it's like
9:21
Speaker 1: a beautiful mix that allows me to be who I
9:24
Speaker 1: authentically am at this while at the same time giving
9:28
Speaker 1: back and contributing to society, making a difference in the
9:32
Speaker 1: lives of teachers who evidently make a difference in the
9:36
Speaker 1: lives of their students. That that is who I am,
9:39
Speaker 1: and that is how I think. That is what I
9:41
Speaker 1: believe God to give to me is to give to
9:44
Speaker 1: the world. Right. You know when I when I look
9:46
Speaker 1: at your HBCU grad I said that your critic is
9:49
Speaker 1: Hampton State University. Hey, you don't just tell you this, doctor,
9:52
Speaker 1: Dr Sean. I get a lot of HBCU Ampton guests
9:56
Speaker 1: on my show. I think it because of the executive
9:59
Speaker 1: producer the show. She graduated from Hampton University. I think
10:02
Speaker 1: that really she graduated and I seem to get a
10:06
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of I'm not disappointed at the
10:10
Speaker 1: end of the guest, I'm just telling you straight out
10:12
Speaker 1: standing like you come on my show from Happy University.
10:15
Speaker 1: But I think I think she's using my brand to
10:20
Speaker 1: promote the brand of Hampton University, which is an outstand
10:24
Speaker 1: at HBCU school. So tell us about your HBCU experience
10:27
Speaker 1: and the value of attending a school like an HBCU
10:31
Speaker 1: school like Hampton University. Let me tell you something. Hampton
10:35
Speaker 1: University is my family. I stand by it, and it
10:38
Speaker 1: was absolutely one of the best decisions I've ever made.
10:42
Speaker 1: The reason that I ended up at Hampton or I.
10:45
Speaker 1: I grew up in New York and my father raising
10:51
Speaker 1: us in the church. She was a musician to Hampton
10:54
Speaker 1: University every year during the summer has a ministers and
10:57
Speaker 1: musicians conference that my father attend all the time. He's
11:01
Speaker 1: the one that told me about Hampton University. And this
11:04
Speaker 1: goes back to what you mentioned earlier about kind of
11:07
Speaker 1: why how we can promote the idea of education to
11:12
Speaker 1: the youth. I was never told in high school about HBCUs,
11:18
Speaker 1: about what schools like Hampton A and t Spellman Morehouse.
11:23
Speaker 1: I would never exposed to those things other than what
11:27
Speaker 1: my family told me. And I'm so glad that my
11:30
Speaker 1: dad put that battery in my back at a young
11:32
Speaker 1: age to be aware of what Hampton was doing and
11:36
Speaker 1: how it could benefit me. Uh. He took me down
11:39
Speaker 1: there to take the tour of the campus. We went
11:41
Speaker 1: as a family, my mom, my brothers, and after that
11:44
Speaker 1: we you know, I have two uh younger siblings actually
11:48
Speaker 1: three excuse me, that r HBCU attended and or graduates.
11:51
Speaker 1: So like, this is something that I feel I was
11:55
Speaker 1: able to set an example for them because of what
11:58
Speaker 1: my dad and my mom showed me and my as
12:02
Speaker 1: we like to say, my matriculation. That's wonderful, you know,
12:07
Speaker 1: it was. It was life altering for me, if I
12:11
Speaker 1: could say, because I mean what I've learned there, who
12:14
Speaker 1: I met, it was. It was a microcosm of just
12:19
Speaker 1: really love and education, um that you yearned for that
12:25
Speaker 1: you cannot get at another p w Y and you
12:30
Speaker 1: can't get that. I ask any HBCU grab and they'll
12:33
Speaker 1: tell you about that family element that you just you
12:36
Speaker 1: can you can imitate, but you can't duplicate that. I
12:41
Speaker 1: love it. I love it. I'm talking to my man,
12:43
Speaker 1: Dr Sean Woodley. He is a half the universe. The
12:47
Speaker 1: hbc U two thousand four bachelor's good huh, two thousand
12:53
Speaker 1: and four bachelor's degree, two thousand five, Masters degree, then
12:57
Speaker 1: following up with his PhD. We're gonna be back in
12:59
Speaker 1: more to our about his brand of education, his books,
13:02
Speaker 1: all those great things, and first of all, he know
13:04
Speaker 1: now about money making conversation. You know a lot of
13:07
Speaker 1: people called my show. They call, you know, people tell
13:09
Speaker 1: them it's to show the call. But once they get here,
13:12
Speaker 1: I talked, they here my passion. His brother right here,
13:15
Speaker 1: he's on my list now. So when I called when
13:17
Speaker 1: he when he called me to be on this show,
13:20
Speaker 1: I was absolutely with a Okay, let'll be right back there.
13:25
Speaker 1: Said Hi, this was Sean McDonald and you're listening to
13:28
Speaker 1: the money Making Conversation. I've been having a good old
13:31
Speaker 1: time with Dr Sean Woodley about his brand education. You
13:34
Speaker 1: know how he started in the education, what the education
13:36
Speaker 1: means to him, what it means to me, the passion
13:39
Speaker 1: behind education. It took me seven years to get my degree. Uh.
13:43
Speaker 1: I was arrogant. I thought I'd be in and out.
13:45
Speaker 1: But what I did when I went to college, I
13:47
Speaker 1: was just trying I'm gona tell you something, Dr Sean.
13:49
Speaker 1: I was just trying to go to. I was trying
13:51
Speaker 1: to find an easy degree. Okay, the first four and
13:54
Speaker 1: a half yeard, I was looking for the easy degree.
13:56
Speaker 1: My friends go easy, an easy teaching. He's an easy teach.
14:00
Speaker 1: I went to and when they had no symbols of
14:02
Speaker 1: what they had to do with my degree plans, I
14:04
Speaker 1: was trying to find easy teachers. I found them all
14:07
Speaker 1: and then I found one easy teaching in physics that
14:09
Speaker 1: gave me an elf that woked me up. That woked
14:14
Speaker 1: me up because they realized that you have to work.
14:16
Speaker 1: Life is about working hard and being consistent. And when
14:19
Speaker 1: I look at your brand, when you talk about education,
14:22
Speaker 1: you have to be consistent and you have to create
14:24
Speaker 1: a model that people can believe it and can use
14:27
Speaker 1: to teach other people. Talk about your brain a little bit.
14:30
Speaker 1: Dr Sean Sure, Sure, I'm I preach and teach, teach, hustle, inspire,
14:37
Speaker 1: and and here's what it means. Teach, hustle, inspire is
14:40
Speaker 1: not just three particular words that I randomly put together
14:45
Speaker 1: and threw it up as a logo. They have intention
14:48
Speaker 1: behind each of those. When I talk about teach, it's
14:51
Speaker 1: about how we unlock our students and our own intellectual treasure.
14:56
Speaker 1: That's what it means. How can we create trans forman
15:00
Speaker 1: of learning experiences for ourselves, for our students in our classroom.
15:04
Speaker 1: That hustle park, that's that's my favorite part. That hustle
15:08
Speaker 1: is about how we can't stop that won't stop learning.
15:10
Speaker 1: Mr McDonald's here and it kind of has that nineties
15:14
Speaker 1: d D bad boy vibe twins to it just a
15:17
Speaker 1: little bit. That's that's my personality being there in there
15:20
Speaker 1: a little bit. But how do we keep how do
15:23
Speaker 1: we stay on top of the current research, How do
15:25
Speaker 1: we stay on top of what we need to know
15:28
Speaker 1: to continue because see, education don't stop, Education does not stop.
15:33
Speaker 1: How do we continue to learn to be the best
15:36
Speaker 1: we can for ourselves and our students? And that inspire
15:40
Speaker 1: It means to spread love and like what we do
15:43
Speaker 1: with educators, that can be a thankless profession. Sometimes with
15:47
Speaker 1: the inequities in the curriculums that we see, with the
15:50
Speaker 1: inequities and distribution of funds, we sometimes we feel like
15:55
Speaker 1: we're all we have. So we have to be sure
15:57
Speaker 1: that we're spreading that love and life to one another,
16:00
Speaker 1: pouring back into ourselves and taking care of our soaps
16:03
Speaker 1: so that we can take care of our families. You

Speaker 1: automatic notes for meetings, interviews, or lectures. With auto dot ai,
17:42
Speaker 1: you can search the meeting notes, insert images, playback the audio,
17:46
Speaker 1: and share them with your friends or coworkers. You can

Speaker 1: capture action items, remember meeting details and keep everyone informed.
17:52
Speaker 1: Auto dot ai works for in person or virtual meetings
17:55
Speaker 1: like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google meet Sign up for
17:58
Speaker 1: free at auto dit ai or download the up for
18:01
Speaker 1: free auto dot ai. That's O T T E R.
18:03
Speaker 1: Dot ai. It's really amazing when I when I think
18:07
Speaker 1: about it, you know, when we still talk about unequal education,
18:13
Speaker 1: and we still talk about, you know, denying people an
18:16
Speaker 1: opportunity to get an equal education, and that's usually tied
18:20
Speaker 1: to the community that you grow up in and you're
18:23
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, me in the South, and you know that
18:26
Speaker 1: what you really was the reason we have hbc US
18:29
Speaker 1: because it was a time where the southern schools wouldn't
18:33
Speaker 1: let a black person in the school and then the
18:34
Speaker 1: northern school headquarters or limitations. So it was out of
18:38
Speaker 1: necessity that we had to create these hbc used which
18:42
Speaker 1: are now the backbone of education, especially for African American
18:45
Speaker 1: success stores in this country today. That's one of the
18:48
Speaker 1: reasons why I take the time to be able to
18:52
Speaker 1: articulate the value and the need. Now when you talk
18:55
Speaker 1: about education and you you you broke down the whole
18:58
Speaker 1: teach hustle inspired whether all about? But how did they
19:01
Speaker 1: come about? You know what what the what? What? What? What?
19:04
Speaker 1: What launched it? Though? Dr Sean? What launched did? That
19:08
Speaker 1: came from a need for me to try and find
19:13
Speaker 1: a unique and creative way to pour into the lives
19:16
Speaker 1: of educators and give back. I am, I'm a speaker
19:21
Speaker 1: and consultant and you know all in the under the
19:25
Speaker 1: umbrella of educating that is that is what I do.
19:29
Speaker 1: I wanted to find something that could connect us in
19:33
Speaker 1: the education world, something especially those of us that serve
19:37
Speaker 1: in urban and culturally diverse communities because there are specific
19:40
Speaker 1: challenges that we are simply at a fundamental level not
19:45
Speaker 1: prepared to deal with. And again it's not because something
19:49
Speaker 1: is wrong, it's just that we are not prepared. So
19:52
Speaker 1: I created this with the mind with the mindset of
19:56
Speaker 1: how can I help prepare dedicated and talented educators to
20:02
Speaker 1: face the challenges that can arise in urban and culturally
20:07
Speaker 1: diverse communities so that we can now move this agenda
20:11
Speaker 1: forward and balance these scales a little bit. But it
20:14
Speaker 1: really just came from my desire to what to serve,
20:19
Speaker 1: to want to unite and start a movement, and I
20:23
Speaker 1: just it's it's not something that I just thought of
20:25
Speaker 1: one particular day to teach hustle inspire. Kind of it
20:30
Speaker 1: seems like it came out of nowhere. But what you're
20:32
Speaker 1: seeing are the results of years, years of research, years
20:37
Speaker 1: of practice, and years of trial error, failing, fail again,
20:43
Speaker 1: fail forward, fail some more, try it again. That's what
20:47
Speaker 1: you're seeing now are the results of that. And this
20:50
Speaker 1: is just the beginning. That's that's powerful words, um and
20:53
Speaker 1: so those are some of the when you say obstacles,
20:56
Speaker 1: you know it is one of these over to me.
20:58
Speaker 1: Um is are the obstacles, Uh, Disbelievers are obstacles yourself
21:05
Speaker 1: sometimes doubting whether this is this will be received? What
21:09
Speaker 1: exactly are the obstacles that you're talking about. Some of
21:13
Speaker 1: the obstacles UM definitely do come in the form of
21:19
Speaker 1: self sabotage and questioning whether or not you are the
21:25
Speaker 1: one that should be doing this. As far as t
21:28
Speaker 1: hustle inspired inspire is concerned that that can the obstacles
21:33
Speaker 1: can start from within and if I am not careful,
21:37
Speaker 1: if I am not emotionally aware enough to examine that
21:40
Speaker 1: it is nothing more than just self sabotage and that
21:44
Speaker 1: I can overcome, that it can be something that consumes me.
21:48
Speaker 1: But my passion and desire and understanding to know that
21:52
Speaker 1: I'm called to do this outweighs those obstacles and makes
21:56
Speaker 1: them speed bumps at the post hurdles. So now out
22:00
Speaker 1: what I can do is with the understanding that and
22:04
Speaker 1: not to get church on you. But God doesn't call
22:07
Speaker 1: to qualify, He qualifies the call. I understand that this
22:11
Speaker 1: is a mission for me and now I'm growing and
22:14
Speaker 1: that as long as I stay true to who I
22:16
Speaker 1: am and what the Good Lord has for me. I
22:18
Speaker 1: can't tell us, Oh no, you won't, you won't. That's
22:20
Speaker 1: why I set up this show. My friend is passionate driven,
22:24
Speaker 1: and the information that I give through my faith and
22:27
Speaker 1: through my passion, I educate people who listen and follow
22:30
Speaker 1: my brand. So we're on the same page. Now, tell
22:33
Speaker 1: us about your artcoming um conference for urban educators. Sure. Sure.
22:38
Speaker 1: I wanted to create a unique experience called the Super
22:43
Speaker 1: Teachers Summit. And what happens is this is going to
22:47
Speaker 1: be a unique online virtual event. We we you know,
22:51
Speaker 1: we have to be cautious with everything happening coronavirus wise,
22:55
Speaker 1: about large gatherings and so forth, but that's still doesn't
23:00
Speaker 1: put a stop on the work that needs to be done,
23:02
Speaker 1: because come August September, there are still children that are
23:05
Speaker 1: going to need to be educated. So I wanted to
23:08
Speaker 1: come up with a unique way to garner educators attention
23:13
Speaker 1: to help solve some of the problems that they will
23:16
Speaker 1: inevitably face. And I created this unique event to be
23:19
Speaker 1: an online, interactive virtual experience more than just someone sitting
23:26
Speaker 1: in front of a screen and then now alright, everything
23:29
Speaker 1: is going in one ear and out of the other.
23:32
Speaker 1: I wanted to make this a little bit more than
23:35
Speaker 1: simply just your average teacher conference, if you will, And
23:40
Speaker 1: so I I gave it a theme. I embedded some
23:44
Speaker 1: of the research and some phenomenal speakers that I know
23:47
Speaker 1: of that are really doing the work in this field.
23:50
Speaker 1: And I'm putting together what I know will be a
23:53
Speaker 1: Dynamites event in August. So is there any set date
23:58
Speaker 1: for aug yet or just all the still planning. It's
24:02
Speaker 1: still planning. It's going to be the first weekend in
24:04
Speaker 1: August that you want to make sure. I want to
24:05
Speaker 1: be a part of that. Whatever I can do to
24:07
Speaker 1: promote it through my social or my newsletter goes a
24:10
Speaker 1: weekly every Friday at nine am. I'll make you're part
24:12
Speaker 1: of that conversation. Before I was a couple of things.
24:15
Speaker 1: But I want to talk to about before we leaves.
24:16
Speaker 1: I wanted I did not read your best selling book
24:19
Speaker 1: MC means Move the class, How the spark engagement and
24:22
Speaker 1: motivation and urban and culturally diverse classroom? Tell us about that?
24:26
Speaker 1: And then I also want to close and response from
24:28
Speaker 1: you about what's going on in America right now. Okay, absolutely,
24:33
Speaker 1: the book for me came from my experiences teaching. I
24:37
Speaker 1: spent ten years UM teaching in urban schools, and while
24:42
Speaker 1: doing that, because I was I knew that there were
24:46
Speaker 1: things that I wanted to do. I had a side
24:48
Speaker 1: hustle at the DJ. So literally Ms McDonald, I would
24:51
Speaker 1: pull up to the schoolyard and teach during the day
24:54
Speaker 1: and being the club at night with my turn tables
24:56
Speaker 1: in the literal, and it was it was so fund yeah.
25:01
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about parties, clubs, weddings, bar mits,
25:05
Speaker 1: was barbecues, It doesn't matter if they had if they
25:08
Speaker 1: were paying and needed music services. I was in there.
25:12
Speaker 1: And so what I began to notice is that I
25:15
Speaker 1: was growing as a DJ and growing as an educator simultaneously,
25:21
Speaker 1: and some coincidental not my coincidental, some emerging commonalities started
25:29
Speaker 1: to really make way about both professions, about being a teacher,
25:34
Speaker 1: about being in DJ, and so really that that mc see.
25:38
Speaker 1: You know, back in the day when I grew, I
25:40
Speaker 1: grew up on Long Island and Eric being rock Cam
25:43
Speaker 1: had from Eric B as president the song um excuse
25:48
Speaker 1: me um, Eric B as president, not second verse where
25:51
Speaker 1: our cam talks about Eric B on the cut scratching
25:55
Speaker 1: the medicine, no mistakes allowed. Because to me, mc means
25:59
Speaker 1: moved the problem. And that line always stuck to me.
26:03
Speaker 1: It really because what stands out about that is what
26:05
Speaker 1: rock Him was telling us is that his his role
26:09
Speaker 1: as an m C it's it's not just a position,
26:12
Speaker 1: it's a responsibility. Mr McDonald, that's that's my responsibility to
26:16
Speaker 1: move this crowd. So I took that and and with
26:19
Speaker 1: that same mindset, it's my responsibility to move this class
26:23
Speaker 1: and as a DJ, as a as a teacher. You know,
26:27
Speaker 1: in both roles, I'm a motivator. I am the reason
26:31
Speaker 1: that you're going to in this club dance or I'm
26:33
Speaker 1: the reason in this classroom you're going to learn. In
26:36
Speaker 1: both roles, I curate specific content so that when in
26:41
Speaker 1: the timing of winning his place, to create an absolute
26:44
Speaker 1: experience for either the people in the club or the
26:48
Speaker 1: students in my classroom, making real time decisions, making sure
26:52
Speaker 1: that I am on top of everything, and making sure
26:55
Speaker 1: that I can change when needed. Making those ah sumans
27:00
Speaker 1: to really read the crowd and feed off of that energy.
27:03
Speaker 1: It becomes sick. Wow, that's hot. You know that's hot
27:10
Speaker 1: because I hear the passion, I hear the planning out here.
27:13
Speaker 1: It's a it's authentic. That's what I hear the most, doctor,
27:16
Speaker 1: and that's why, that's why, that's why it works, because
27:19
Speaker 1: it's not something you made up. It's tied to a journey.
27:23
Speaker 1: You know. The journey in the world that we're living
27:25
Speaker 1: in right now is um I did an interview this
27:28
Speaker 1: morning and I was telling them that one out of
27:31
Speaker 1: one thousand black men and boys will be killed by
27:35
Speaker 1: a police officer. That's one out of one thousand. That's
27:39
Speaker 1: two point five times higher than white men and white boys.
27:43
Speaker 1: And when people ask us, why, why the unrest, why
27:47
Speaker 1: the protests, what is your response? Dr Shaun Woodley, Hello,
28:03
Speaker 1: do you cannot tell the oppressed? Essentially, It's been quoted
28:08
Speaker 1: and said so many times, but you can't tell the
28:10
Speaker 1: oppressed how to respond to their oppression. You can't do that.
28:14
Speaker 1: What you're seeing are the results of years of years
28:19
Speaker 1: and years, hundreds of years of outcries, hundreds of years
28:22
Speaker 1: of just simply making a plea not to be treated better,
28:26
Speaker 1: Mr McDonald, for being treated the same. That's all we want,
28:30
Speaker 1: that's that's at the end of the day. We just
28:33
Speaker 1: wanted to be treated the same. And so now what
28:35
Speaker 1: has resulted from that is the the emotional outburst of
28:41
Speaker 1: the people that has been held down far too long. Absolutely,
28:44
Speaker 1: I always tell people I just want my child to
28:46
Speaker 1: have a better life than our hands. And I think
28:48
Speaker 1: that anybody who's not my color wants the same thing.
28:51
Speaker 1: So just give me my shot. But when I'm stopped
28:54
Speaker 1: by the pot, least, don't allow a lobby not to
28:56
Speaker 1: be afraid. Now, allow me to not believe that this
28:59
Speaker 1: might be a stop I'm drive away from. That's all
29:01
Speaker 1: I'm asking. And when I say one out of one thousand,
29:05
Speaker 1: that's an incredible number. Two publicly say this documented story
29:09
Speaker 1: came out of the Los Angeles time I read it
29:12
Speaker 1: and then have and I've been horrified ever since. Dr Sean.
29:15
Speaker 1: Would I hope you enjoyed coming on my show. It's
29:18
Speaker 1: a it's a journey. It's a journey about it's your journey.
29:20
Speaker 1: I wanted to share with my listeners on money making conversations.
29:23
