  Speaker 1: on you or you just makes you feel good and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: let you know God has put you in the right

  Speaker 1: direction with your life very humbling and then at times
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: if you don't have the right lens on that day,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: because you know, when you wake up every morning, you
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: may not always have the right leans on. So that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: maybe days when you have the wrong lens zone and
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you can't feel pressure because you've got yourself lands on.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: You know, it's it's very um consumed with you and

  Speaker 1: And so man, as I think the lords that opportunity. Man,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: you've always feel to me been a leader in music,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you know, be the leader. And also I have a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: young voice. You know, we have a generation out there.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: They call it the millennial generation. Entrepreneurship to the UH.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: When you when you speak of the word of God
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, you think of trying to get that word
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and get it understood to the masses. Do you find
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: that there's a different level of music U tune in
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: to the younger generation. Just it works. The Kirk Frankling
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: years ago is still working today. For everybody you know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: as I just really try to make sure that my
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: goal is authenticity. I think that awesome that that when
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the goal is authenticity, who is supposed to speak to
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: that it will find this place to that. I think
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that sometimes that you can try to start chasing certain demographics,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and when you start to do that, I think that
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you begin to fail and you begin to lose your
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: own authentic books. I think that that one things that
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: millennials or any generation probably response to more than anything else.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: It's just authenticity and whatever that is. You'll be able
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to develop a very core audience that will be a
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: very loyal audience and show no matter what's happening sonically
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: with the conversation of music or or anything. When it
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: comes to the arts and pop culture, that's all about
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: what is your message? Who who are you specifically trying
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to reach and and and when you do that, you
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: can be able to build a brand in the community
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: that will be able to follow you and to be
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: able to trust you with their that money, the time
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and the money. That's the key, trusting you with their money,
