1:22
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for Sean. It's always a pleasure
1:24
Speaker 4: to be with you.
1:25
Speaker 3: Well, you know I called you a little bit before
1:28
Speaker 3: the show. You said, for Sean, okay, is it six
1:30
Speaker 3: is six? Because I got a session of doing right
1:33
Speaker 3: up to six o'clock. You know, I'm trying to figure
1:36
Speaker 3: out that, doctor Bisa. When do you take a break?
1:38
Speaker 5: Now?
1:38
Speaker 3: Tell us about how your day starts now, because you
1:41
Speaker 3: were busy all the way up to this interview.
1:44
Speaker 1: Talk to us about that.
1:45
Speaker 4: Yes, so, I actually i'm so have you asked me
1:48
Speaker 4: that because I start my day off in the mornings
1:50
Speaker 4: with you know, once I start working, that is, after
1:53
Speaker 4: my morning meditation. Everything I started off withutting with me
1:56
Speaker 4: catching up on emails and paperwork that I have to do.
2:00
Speaker 4: I try my best not to schedule any meetings before
2:02
Speaker 4: eleven am. Knowing if I can help it, because I
2:06
Speaker 4: need time to set up my day. And I also
2:08
Speaker 4: try my best on Mondays and Fridays not to schedule
2:11
Speaker 4: any virtual meetings or in person if I can, because
2:15
Speaker 4: I need money to set my week and I need
2:17
Speaker 4: Friday to close my week so that through the weekend,
2:19
Speaker 4: I'm not thinking of what I needed to do. Well.
2:22
Speaker 3: Know, I always talk about stress on this show How
2:24
Speaker 3: to Overcome Stress. You know I deal with stress, and
2:27
Speaker 3: you know society you said morning meditation. Now I may
2:31
Speaker 3: be doing the same thing. Tell us what exactly morning meditation?
2:34
Speaker 3: Because you rarely have people talk about that, and they
2:37
Speaker 3: may be doing it different ways than you're doing it.
2:39
Speaker 3: We need to understand that we do have to set
2:41
Speaker 3: a side time. We have to slow it down and
2:44
Speaker 3: control the elements, because once you open that door, it
2:47
Speaker 3: comes in hard and strong.
2:50
Speaker 4: Yes, like a flood. So my mind saws with prayer.
2:53
Speaker 4: I'm a granddaughter of a preacher of a pastor, but
2:57
Speaker 4: mine definitely starts with prayer. And I try to make
3:00
Speaker 4: sure I'm not saying the same prayer over and over,
3:02
Speaker 4: but I am saying that an intentional prayer to God.
3:07
Speaker 4: And then I start with just silence, meaning you know,
3:11
Speaker 4: no TV. You know, we're so quick to grab our
3:13
Speaker 4: phones as soon as we wake up and scroll social media,
3:16
Speaker 4: check emails. I try to have just that moment of
3:19
Speaker 4: silence to myself because you're right, once you open the door,
3:22
Speaker 4: it's a flood of emails, a flood of social you know,
3:25
Speaker 4: everything gets started. Your day is busy all day. So
3:27
Speaker 4: that morning meditation for me starts with prayer and again silence.
3:31
Speaker 1: Right, So let's go back about you. Let's tell your
3:34
Speaker 1: story a little bit here.
3:35
Speaker 3: So before we get into why I brought you on
3:38
Speaker 3: the show to provide information to my listeners and viewers
3:42
Speaker 3: who around this world, I want to know how to
3:45
Speaker 3: get ahead. You know, they want to understand how they
3:47
Speaker 3: can make money. And you tied to the teaching profession,
3:51
Speaker 3: and we know that COVID really really laid an ugly
3:57
Speaker 3: hand on the mental psyche of the teaching industry. Now,
4:03
Speaker 3: talk about your education, and then we're going to talk
4:06
Speaker 3: about the COVID experience, and then moving past the COVID experience,
4:09
Speaker 3: give us some background on you.
4:11
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I started out as an elementary teacher. I
4:14
Speaker 4: taught first grade. Before that, I was a pair of
4:16
Speaker 4: professional teacher assistant as I was finishing college. After teaching
4:20
Speaker 4: first grade for a few years, I moved on up
4:22
Speaker 4: to the College Bulble and started teaching at my alma mater,
4:25
Speaker 4: HBCU Albany State University down in Alberny, Georgia. Our early
4:29
Speaker 4: child had education is when I taught. Then I moved
4:31
Speaker 4: to the Technical College, Albany Technical College. I was a
4:34
Speaker 4: dean of early child education and over the general core
4:37
Speaker 4: programs as well managed chocer centers at both in both
4:41
Speaker 4: that role at Alberdy Tech and Alberty State, and that's
4:44
Speaker 4: what led me to the preschool part of early care
4:47
Speaker 4: and education. So the rest of my career I pretty
4:50
Speaker 4: much spent teaching others how to work with young children
4:53
Speaker 4: and build quality programs for young children.
4:55
Speaker 3: Now, you got two degrees at Albany State and then
4:58
Speaker 3: two degrees at the University of Georgia correct.
5:01
Speaker 4: Yes, early child education, Bachelors of Masters at Albany State
5:04
Speaker 4: and then at UGA. I earned a second Masters of
5:07
Speaker 4: Education and adult education and my doctor's an adult education
5:11
Speaker 4: with a focus on community college leadership.
5:14
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you some doctor, Bison, I was tied
5:17
Speaker 3: with my one math degree.
5:19
Speaker 1: I wanted to get away from school so bad. It
5:22
Speaker 1: took me seven.
5:22
Speaker 3: Years to get that one math degree. I'm to be
5:24
Speaker 3: honest with you, sound like you got by four degrees
5:27
Speaker 3: in your seven years. Now, I was a sophomore all
5:30
Speaker 3: the way up to my fourth four and a half year,
5:34
Speaker 3: I was still a sophomore.
5:35
Speaker 1: So I was just in college.
5:37
Speaker 3: Just I don't know if I was doing the right things,
5:39
Speaker 3: but I know I was in advancing. So what about education?
5:45
Speaker 3: You know, were you inspired by your parents? Were you
5:48
Speaker 3: inspired by your teachers to pursue that level of education?
5:53
Speaker 4: I believe I aspired. Interestingly, I was inspired by the barriers.
5:58
Speaker 4: You know, I know is that people listen to you
6:01
Speaker 4: more based on your credential level.
6:03
Speaker 1: That's true.
6:04
Speaker 4: That's true because if people with the bachelor, masters or
6:07
Speaker 4: no degree could do some of the work that I do,
6:09
Speaker 4: but I could not get into those same rooms or
6:12
Speaker 4: gain the same attention. So, whether I'm providing professional development
6:16
Speaker 4: or speaking or keynoting for school principles, college presidents, you know, legislators,
6:21
Speaker 4: whoever I'm talking to, I'm comfortable, comfortable and confident in
6:25
Speaker 4: that space there and they and I gained that listening
6:29
Speaker 4: ear because of those degrees, so sometimes that those papers
6:32
Speaker 4: just help you get in the room. Honestly, We'll be.
6:40
Speaker 6: Right back with more Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rashawn McDonald.
6:45
Speaker 7: HBCUs represent Black Excellence. If you attend or are an
6:48
Speaker 7: alumnus of an HBCU, we want to hear about your story.

7:12
Speaker 7: College day dot com.
7:14
Speaker 6: Now let's return to Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rashaan McDonald.
7:20
Speaker 3: I'll be honest with that's true now. Because I tell
7:22
Speaker 3: people I got a math degree, they cringe and go whoo.
7:26
Speaker 3: I swear to they was gonna be the whoo a
7:28
Speaker 3: math degree?
7:29
Speaker 1: Man?
7:29
Speaker 3: And I tell you right now, don't ask me if
7:31
Speaker 3: I no no doing no math right now? You know
7:35
Speaker 3: I can count money really well. You start getting into
7:38
Speaker 3: these equations, it could be a fight because I think
7:40
Speaker 3: you're trying to embarrass me.
7:41
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Doctor Mason and so because
7:43
Speaker 1: you're born you know what I'm saying.
7:46
Speaker 3: You know, you're boy struggling right now because but he
7:48
Speaker 3: has a math degree on that wall.
7:50
Speaker 1: And I will point over.
7:51
Speaker 3: That with pride because it took a lot of hard
7:53
Speaker 3: work and a lot of skill to be able to
7:55
Speaker 3: pull that off.
7:56
Speaker 1: Now you're in an education profession, and that's teacher.
8:00
Speaker 3: And we know how important as teachers are, but we
8:03
Speaker 3: also know that teachers are underpaid.
8:05
Speaker 1: Why is that.
8:08
Speaker 4: People don't always say our value? And you know, I
8:11
Speaker 4: really got excited during COVID because I thought that, well,
8:15
Speaker 4: we all noticed that people saw us as the central workers.
8:17
Speaker 4: So our educators, preschool provides at the central workers because
8:21
Speaker 4: people parents at home couldn't handle their own children in
8:23
Speaker 4: the one or two they had, And now you know,
8:25
Speaker 4: we have teachers have twenty in the classroom. Right So
8:29
Speaker 4: for a little while we thought we were getting you know,
8:31
Speaker 4: the respect back, but I quickly forgot.
8:35
Speaker 6: I don't know.
8:35
Speaker 4: I was at an event at an event recently, and
8:39
Speaker 4: even though I'm not a teacher in the pastorom anymore,
8:40
Speaker 4: I'm hot. You know, I highly respect profession and I
8:43
Speaker 4: still train teachers and administrators. And at the event someone
8:47
Speaker 4: said to me you like a teacher. Are you a
8:49
Speaker 4: school teacher? And I said, oh, I do like a teacher.
8:52
Speaker 4: And then I said, well, she said, oh, I'm sorry.
8:54
Speaker 4: They apologized to me ra Sean thinking that they insulted me,
8:57
Speaker 4: right right right?
9:00
Speaker 1: What is it like a teacher? What are you doing?
9:02
Speaker 3: It's like a you know, a doctor has a bedside manner. Okay,
9:06
Speaker 3: and you know what what what what? What skills are
9:09
Speaker 3: you passing out there? You know, I'm trying to remember
9:12
Speaker 3: what my teacher did for me that that I would
9:14
Speaker 3: look at you and go.
9:14
Speaker 1: Are you a teacher? Are you?
9:16
Speaker 4: Are you a teacher? You know?
9:17
Speaker 3: You know you are you pulling out napkin and little
9:20
Speaker 3: kids and four heads?
9:22
Speaker 1: Or are you correcting the English? What are you doing
9:24
Speaker 1: out there? Doctor Bisa?
9:26
Speaker 4: I know right, I think the way I was, you know, oh.
9:30
Speaker 3: No, no, don't don't you don't you put that on
9:33
Speaker 3: no teacher, The way they dress. I don't even know
9:35
Speaker 3: how teachers dressed now. So you just got But when
9:39
Speaker 3: you have four degrees, that's a lot of education. So
9:42
Speaker 3: you're gonna act a little bit different than Rashon McDonald
9:45
Speaker 3: will act. I will tell you, I'm talking to doctor Bisa.
9:47
Speaker 3: She's well right now best selling off the Experience Educational
9:50
Speaker 3: Authority with four degrees, two of the HBCU and then
9:54
Speaker 3: she went up to down Country U g E got
9:57
Speaker 3: two more degrees. And I can tell you I'm overwhelmed
10:01
Speaker 3: and by the fact that it took me seven years
10:04
Speaker 3: to get my one degree and a minor. I'm gonna
10:07
Speaker 3: throw that out there, social miner and sociology to take
10:09
Speaker 3: credit for that. Got a four point zero four point
10:12
Speaker 3: oh in sociology changed my life.
10:13
Speaker 1: That was one of the degrees that opened my mind
10:16
Speaker 1: to life.
10:17
Speaker 3: Because that's why that's why I have so much respect,
10:20
Speaker 3: because of the fact that I would not be.
10:22
Speaker 1: Sitting here without my teachers seeing.
10:25
Speaker 3: Value in me, doctor Beson. And I think that that's
10:29
Speaker 3: where we miss it. And as far as education and
10:32
Speaker 3: now you see artificial intelligence coming in, do you think
10:36
Speaker 3: AI will supplement some of the roles that teachers are
10:40
Speaker 3: playing today?
10:42
Speaker 4: Oh, definitely not. And the reason I say that is
10:45
Speaker 4: because you still need that those experiences in the human mind.
10:50
Speaker 4: So you know a lot of people are afraid of AI.
10:51
Speaker 4: I embrace it. I love artificial intelligence. I think it's amazing.
10:56
Speaker 4: It's all about the way it's used. But what I
10:58
Speaker 4: do think is that it forced his education to change education,
11:02
Speaker 4: especially in America, it needs to be transformed. It needs
11:06
Speaker 4: to be transformed. What is not just about writing papers
11:08
Speaker 4: and essays and doing research and theory, but it's about
11:12
Speaker 4: practice and so now, as you may have seen on
11:15
Speaker 4: social media, a lot of videos going around where faculty
11:18
Speaker 4: are saying, hey, you know, we can tell now we
11:21
Speaker 4: have this tool to use to see if you use
11:23
Speaker 4: AI to write your paper. Well, maybe not assign as
11:25
Speaker 4: many papers these days, because it's really not about what
11:27
Speaker 4: you write, it's about what you practice. So more practice
11:30
Speaker 4: based performance behave in practice based and performance more than
11:35
Speaker 4: just papers. And technical colleges have been doing that forever.
11:39
Speaker 4: Now universities are forced to do the same because at
11:42
Speaker 4: the end of the day, your employer wants to know
11:45
Speaker 4: whether you can perform their duties and not just write
11:47
Speaker 4: about them.
11:48
Speaker 1: That's important.
11:49
Speaker 3: I remember when I worked at IBM, and you know IBM,
11:53
Speaker 3: they you know, do they hire regardless undergraduate? Did they
11:56
Speaker 3: hire me full time and a math degree? But I
11:59
Speaker 3: remember they start going to liberal art degrees. It wasn't
12:02
Speaker 3: about the technical It's about how they understood the role
12:05
Speaker 3: and the responsibilities of communication, because in the end, communication
12:09
Speaker 3: is still the key, and that's what you're saying BYuT
12:10
Speaker 3: Ai can't replace that communication that hands on that confusion
12:17
Speaker 3: that a child will have oftentimes when they're trying to
12:20
Speaker 3: understand the lessons that are put in front of them.
12:24
Speaker 3: But the thing that I was reading, the information that
12:26
Speaker 3: was sent to me, I want to let everybody hear
12:28
Speaker 3: that's correctly. Nationwide data shows teachers pay isn't keeping up
12:33
Speaker 3: with inflation declining over the last decade.
12:36
Speaker 1: You hear me, the.
12:39
Speaker 3: People that we need to move this country forward, educate
12:42
Speaker 3: our youth, take them to middle school, then to adulthood.
12:45
Speaker 3: Teachers are making thirty six hundred dollars less on average
12:48
Speaker 3: than they did ten years ago, and justin for inflation.
12:52
Speaker 3: You know, I guess I keep asking that question over
12:54
Speaker 3: and over again, doctor Sobiza. Within your industry, are teachers
12:59
Speaker 3: leaving the industry all day?
13:01
Speaker 4: Yes? Okay, sorry, yes.
13:04
Speaker 1: You jumped right on.
13:06
Speaker 3: I may have had some more to say, but you
13:08
Speaker 3: said we shouldn't stop all this madness.
13:09
Speaker 1: We out.
13:12
Speaker 4: They are, they are leaving, and almost half of them
13:16
Speaker 4: at this point are leaving or have left the profession.
13:19
Speaker 4: You know, one thing that COVID taught everyone is that
13:22
Speaker 4: there's life outside of work. The more people are choosing
13:25
Speaker 4: remote work, more people are traveling more. I think, I saw,
13:28
Speaker 4: I know, I saw online that over five there were
13:30
Speaker 4: over five hundred thousand applications in Georgia alone for passports
13:35
Speaker 4: this year and the end of the year is not
13:38
Speaker 4: even he here yet. Because people now know that life
13:41
Speaker 4: again is just outside of work, so they're traveling more.
13:43
Speaker 4: And yes, teachers are finding other things they can do.
13:46
Speaker 4: They are making more money and they don't have to
13:48
Speaker 4: deal with some of the misbehaviors and some of the
13:51
Speaker 4: you know, the expectations coming It was two things.
13:55
Speaker 1: You got, the kids you got to deal with, and
13:57
Speaker 1: sometimes their parents are worse than the kids. You'll need.
14:00
Speaker 3: You think the parents about to come in there and
14:01
Speaker 3: defend you from a from a disciplined standpoint, they were there.
14:05
Speaker 1: You're talking about child like that, you'll touch my child.
14:08
Speaker 3: It is really and that's where the confusion comes in
14:10
Speaker 3: because if and that's where the teachers lose respect when
14:15
Speaker 3: the parent won't give them the right to, you know,
14:18
Speaker 3: with a discipline their kid. We're not talking about physically
14:21
Speaker 3: disciplined the kid but being able to tell your child
14:23
Speaker 3: to sit down, and if you don't sit down, there's
14:25
Speaker 3: some repercussions that come with that and the parent come there.
14:28
Speaker 3: You can't tell my child to sit down. That's what's
14:31
Speaker 3: the problem is. We'll be right back. I'm going to
14:33
Speaker 3: go to break, doctor Bisa. I'm gonna ask some people
14:36
Speaker 3: to call in. They want to call in and talk

15:30
Speaker 3: just felt like perfect timing. You know, we're going to
15:32
Speaker 3: back into back.
15:32
Speaker 1: Of the school. This is a time you start seeing
15:34
Speaker 1: all type of notices that you know, watch how you
15:38
Speaker 1: drive or be aware.
15:40
Speaker 3: School is coming and you children and parents are trying
15:44
Speaker 3: to drop off their kids, which means that certain areas
15:46
Speaker 3: where you was zipping by suddenly going to be backed
15:48
Speaker 3: up because certain school, especially elementary school, they have to backup,
15:51
Speaker 3: drop off their kids, to release them to go into
15:54
Speaker 3: the school, and then in the evening pick them back up. Well,
15:58
Speaker 3: my friend, I'm calling my friend, doctor b has saw
16:01
Speaker 3: ways to look at teachers who have this tremendous skill set,
16:05
Speaker 3: not only while they're teaching, and also if they decide
16:08
Speaker 3: to leave the profession, there are ways they can increase
16:11
Speaker 3: their income or enhance their income.
16:14
Speaker 1: Am I correctly saying that doctor Beisa.
16:16
Speaker 4: Yes you are. I never want to encourage people. I
16:18
Speaker 4: want to make sure people understand I'm not telling teachers
16:21
Speaker 4: to leave the profession, but there are ways you can
16:23
Speaker 4: make money beyond the classroom, whether you're in the profession
16:26
Speaker 4: or not.
16:27
Speaker 3: Yes, should we because I don't want to? You know
16:31
Speaker 3: you well, first of all, break down, what do you do?
16:34
Speaker 3: How do you offer opportunities for individuals who are curious
16:40
Speaker 3: to find how can they reach you?
16:42
Speaker 4: Yes, so I do a podcast to paid educator podcast
16:46
Speaker 4: and my website you know, I know Seana give it out,
16:48
Speaker 4: but it is doctor BISA dot com, b r B
16:51
Speaker 4: I s A dot com. And so there's a podcast.
16:53
Speaker 4: I have coaching opportunities, I have events, book for keynotes
16:57
Speaker 4: often and the the P, A, I D. People should
17:02
Speaker 4: understand that it's not just about money, because teachers will
17:04
Speaker 4: you know, call up in a hole of they think
17:06
Speaker 4: that it's only about money. They can see love personal services.
17:09
Speaker 4: And so P is for prospects who will do business
17:13
Speaker 4: with you? What are you thinking of? What skills do
17:15
Speaker 4: you have to offer? Uh? The A is for allies
17:19
Speaker 4: who can support you and be your ally in building
17:22
Speaker 4: your business. I is for information what more do you
17:25
Speaker 4: need to know to make this a business and something
17:29
Speaker 4: that is marketable? And then the D is for dollars?
17:31
Speaker 4: How much money can you make? And making sure that
17:33
Speaker 4: you do know uh information about the funds so you
17:37
Speaker 4: know PA I D is an acronym. And if you
17:40
Speaker 4: do the PAI, if you know your prospects, allies and information,
17:44
Speaker 4: the dollars will come.
17:45
Speaker 3: The D will come right because it's always by multiple
17:47
Speaker 3: strains of income. It is now a teacher can be overwhelmed,
17:52
Speaker 3: you know. Can you tell me, like you said, Rushan,
17:55
Speaker 3: I wake up and I meditate. I don't know if
17:56
Speaker 3: you're meditating as a teacher, because you had to get
17:58
Speaker 3: to school real fast and deal with these students and
18:01
Speaker 3: then get back. And I'll be honest with you, my daughter,
18:06
Speaker 3: I felt I was doing homework for the teacher. It
18:08
Speaker 3: was so much work that was being brought home to me.
18:10
Speaker 3: I was trying to figure out what was the teacher doing.
18:12
Speaker 1: Now?
18:13
Speaker 3: What is the role of a teacher in modern day
18:16
Speaker 3: education today?
18:19
Speaker 4: Yes, oh, great question. So I want to make sure
18:21
Speaker 4: I say this too. Meditation can be music whatever, why
18:25
Speaker 4: it work. Listen to music to me, that's meditation. That's
18:27
Speaker 4: what I did a lot when I was heading to work,
18:30
Speaker 4: or listen to a book online, so on your radio,
18:34
Speaker 4: and so for me, when it comes to working in
18:40
Speaker 4: your profession, it is important ra Sean, that you are
18:44
Speaker 4: thinking about what your skills are right right, And you
18:49
Speaker 4: asked about you know, what might your skills be teaching
18:53
Speaker 4: me to think about what their quality skills are that
18:55
Speaker 4: they offer. And as an educator, it's important that we
19:00
Speaker 4: know that our job is to guide learning, right, So
19:04
Speaker 4: to guide learning, that is what we should do. And
19:07
Speaker 4: whether you know, I know we have textbooks and you know,
19:09
Speaker 4: we have websites, and we have our curriculum, and we're
19:13
Speaker 4: not teaching that word for word, page by page, but
19:16
Speaker 4: we're looking at we're sexing their children in our program
19:19
Speaker 4: or in our classroom to see what their needs are
19:22
Speaker 4: and then we are developing our plan, our lesson plan
19:25
Speaker 4: to guide their learning. So I think that's what people need.
19:29
Speaker 4: People need to understand to guide their learning. And sometimes
19:34
Speaker 4: we think that, you know, we can drill information into children, No,
19:37
Speaker 4: we need to make sure that we're providing experiences to
19:40
Speaker 4: guide their learning, their skills and abilities.
19:43
Speaker 3: You know, It's like my daughter was she graduated from college,
19:45
Speaker 3: you know, she graduated honors. Were so proud of her,
19:48
Speaker 3: and it was like digital media and so and then
19:51
Speaker 3: she ran out there looking for a job. And then
19:54
Speaker 3: but then I totally be patient. And I think that
19:57
Speaker 3: in any profession, you have to realize that you have
20:00
Speaker 3: to deal with options. And that's what you're basically talking
20:02
Speaker 3: about right now. Options being able to see beyond what
20:06
Speaker 3: you're doing currently for the opportunities that may be available
20:09
Speaker 3: to your skill set. So she got another job, a
20:11
Speaker 3: couple other jobs, and then all of a sudden, she
20:13
Speaker 3: fell into the job doing RFPs RFPs and that's when
20:18
Speaker 3: I said, oh okay, I said, I said, hold up now,
20:20
Speaker 3: I said, I know this is not graphic, but you
20:23
Speaker 3: you into something really unique here now, RFPs. And so
20:27
Speaker 3: she really loved it, she really got into it, and
20:30
Speaker 3: she became a value. People started, you know, job seeking
20:33
Speaker 3: her out, you know, headhunters and stuff like that. So
20:36
Speaker 3: basically that's what you're saying. You know, she may have
20:38
Speaker 3: gotten this degree over here, graduated with honors and all
20:41
Speaker 3: this good stuff, but then another opportunity came over here
20:44
Speaker 3: that she's very comfortable with and she can use her
20:46
Speaker 3: skills of digital media in there. But the title right
20:50
Speaker 3: now is RFPs, and we know that that's a position
20:54
Speaker 3: that's going to always be in high demand.
20:56
Speaker 4: Correct, Yes, oh yes, people love those quest for proposals
21:00
Speaker 4: are soy important. I was spent you know, yesterday writing
21:03
Speaker 4: a grant proposal. And so people don't always have that
21:06
Speaker 4: writing skill set. They don't know how to connect all
21:08
Speaker 4: the dots. So you know, yes, you know, writing proposal
21:11
Speaker 4: is always something that you can definitely make money doing so.
21:14
Speaker 4: I love that she found her skill set. And that's
21:16
Speaker 4: what the ty is about for Sean is finding your process,
21:20
Speaker 4: making the list of how you can, what are your
21:22
Speaker 4: skills to make money doing what you do best. For me,
21:25
Speaker 4: it was curriculum. What my superpower was. When I was
21:29
Speaker 4: in a classroom, I could always find a creative way
21:32
Speaker 4: to teach a standard or teach a skill, and I
21:35
Speaker 4: provided these great innovative activities, creative activities for children in
21:39
Speaker 4: all the different subject areas. And in first grade we
21:41
Speaker 4: have to teach eight subjects, right, so eventually, you know,
21:45
Speaker 4: later I was able to make that the skill set
21:49
Speaker 4: that I used to put out there. Now that's how
21:51
Speaker 4: I came out with the Wings the whole curriculum. Wings
21:55
Speaker 4: curriculum is up to five year olds and it's used
21:57
Speaker 4: in thirty states. But that's my superpower. I thank you.
22:01
Speaker 4: I chose twelve things, one for each month and for
22:04
Speaker 4: every week four weeks of the month, there is a
22:07
Speaker 4: subtitle or AI study and so using those things to
22:12
Speaker 4: teach standards and all the different learning domains for children.
22:15
Speaker 4: Again that's my superpower. Now it's in thirty states, so
22:19
Speaker 4: I know, just like your daughter. Everyone who's listening out there,
22:22
Speaker 4: think about hone in what is your superpower and how
22:25
Speaker 4: can you monetize it? Okay, so someone out there needs.
22:28
Speaker 3: It now, doctor BIZI I see right down here you
22:31
Speaker 3: said it. Grant writing. Now do do you hire your
22:35
Speaker 3: services or do just grant writing for your projects?
22:38
Speaker 4: For nonprofit? I used to do it for others, but
22:41
Speaker 4: it's something that I no longer do that for others.
22:44
Speaker 4: But I do it for our Black Child Development Institute
22:46
Speaker 4: Atlanta as a nonprofit that I'm happy to work with,
22:49
Speaker 4: and we support black children and families eight to zero
22:52
Speaker 4: to eight. We mainly work with adults children who have
22:55
Speaker 4: young children in their lives, showing them how to build
22:58
Speaker 4: programming and support families and young children a co responsive,
23:02
Speaker 4: cult irrelevant way. And so I use that same skills
23:06
Speaker 4: that I mentioned when it comes to curriculum and experiences
23:09
Speaker 4: activities for young children. And I'm able to replicate that
23:13
Speaker 4: superpower and use it for others to learn how to
23:17
Speaker 4: work with Black children and their families appropriately.
23:19
Speaker 1: That's awesome.
23:20
Speaker 3: Before I go, now going to Doctorbisa dot com, that's
23:24
Speaker 3: d R Bisa dot com. There's a guide that you
23:28
Speaker 3: are for a complimentary that one can download. What exactly
23:30
Speaker 3: is that guide when they go to the website.
23:34
Speaker 4: Yes, so I actually came out with a journal so
23:38
Speaker 4: that when The Day Educator came out in twenty twenty,
23:40
Speaker 4: January twenty twenty was the bestseller, you know, yay, thank
23:43
Speaker 4: everyone who knew that COVID was coming, you know, three
23:46
Speaker 4: two months later. But I launched a journal following that
23:50
Speaker 4: so that people would have a roadmap and they could plan.
23:53
Speaker 4: So maybe that's what they do during their meditation time
23:56
Speaker 4: in the morning. They get up and they work on
23:58
Speaker 4: one section of their journal because it allows you to
24:00
Speaker 4: think about your prospects allies information dollars, and they think about, hey,
24:05
Speaker 4: this is my skills digital media, and they have questions
24:09
Speaker 4: that they have to answer to help them to develop
24:12
Speaker 4: a plan which leads to monetizing their superpower.
24:16
Speaker 3: Yes, the paid method is trademark. By the way, paid
24:19
Speaker 3: Method trademark. She is to go to expert for those
24:22
Speaker 3: educators who love teaching but want to use their skills
24:26
Speaker 3: to make more money beyond the classroom. Again, as we
24:28
Speaker 3: wrap this up, doctor Za, how can we get in
24:31
Speaker 3: touch with you who are listening to this show.
24:34
Speaker 4: Thank you for the opportunity. Yes, doctor BISA dot com,
24:37
Speaker 4: d r b I s A dot com is my
24:38
Speaker 4: website and all of my social media Instagram LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook,
24:42
Speaker 4: well now Twitter is X but all of.
24:45
Speaker 1: It I know today. How didn't they slip that in
24:48
Speaker 1: on me? I X I was reading the articles when
24:51
Speaker 1: now Twitter is now called X.
24:53
Speaker 4: Huh, it's crazy. I hope they think they changed that.
24:56
Speaker 4: But all of my social media at doctor B's uh
25:00
Speaker 4: uh yeah. So much is happening, but you know, you
25:02
Speaker 4: can find it. That's one of the skills I teach
25:03
Speaker 4: when I'm coaching in my right on my course as well,
25:06
Speaker 4: ra Sean, make sure if we're on social media, you're
25:08
Speaker 4: consistent that you don't have you don't have different handles
25:12
Speaker 4: out there that people can find you.
25:14
Speaker 1: Well, you know the.
25:15
Speaker 3: Thing about it is that I'm glad you brought that up,
25:17
Speaker 3: the word consistency, because I always talk about my staff
25:20
Speaker 3: too about being consistency, being consistent, make designs look consistent,
25:24
Speaker 3: make fonts look this sick because everybody wants to well,
25:27
Speaker 3: you know, I want to change. I don't want it
25:29
Speaker 3: to look like different over here. No consistent is what
25:32
Speaker 3: drives the train of reality. Consistence where people gain trust
25:37
Speaker 3: in if they feel you know how to replicate something.
25:40
Speaker 3: And I think that's part of your mentorship that you're
25:42
Speaker 3: talking about, is that you're talking about sitting down with
25:44
Speaker 3: individuals who are talented, but offering advice and also teaching
25:50
Speaker 3: them the value of consistency means that they can be
25:53
Speaker 3: profit tied to that consistency.
25:55
Speaker 4: Correct, definitely, yes, And that's how people you get referred.
26:00
Speaker 4: I don't care how much you are on how much
26:02
Speaker 4: marketing you have or that you pay for people. That
26:05
Speaker 4: word amount that's the best reference because people want to
26:09
Speaker 4: know who has worked with you, and you can get
26:11
Speaker 4: all of your business and you can have a full
26:13
Speaker 4: time income on just referrals if you work with integrity,
26:17
Speaker 4: honesty and trust.
26:18
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, I want to say this before I go
26:20
Speaker 3: doctor Beeson because of the fact that you know, you
26:22
Speaker 3: come on my show, you and you offer information to
26:26
Speaker 3: a profession that doesn't get respected, that's underpaid. And it's
26:32
Speaker 3: very important that on this show is that this is
26:34
Speaker 3: about uplift. This is about motivation. First of all, telling
26:37
Speaker 3: that sty doing the military and thank you for your service.
26:40
Speaker 3: We should in some ways say the same thing for
26:42
Speaker 3: teachers who are educating our children because of the fact
26:45
Speaker 3: that they're taking a blank slate, a blank slate, and
26:49
Speaker 3: nowadays it's incredible because the violence that's out there, not
26:54
Speaker 3: only just to go to school, you have to go
26:56
Speaker 3: into school with the metal detectors are put in place.
26:59
Speaker 3: It's just such a different system that's in place nowadays.
27:02
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous, and the rules are changing. So as you
27:07
Speaker 3: project the teaching system, because you said Richell and I'm
27:11
Speaker 3: still in the game of teaching, where do you see
27:14
Speaker 3: education going.
27:16
Speaker 4: I definitely see more of technology being used, but again
27:20
Speaker 4: I don't see it being a replacement. I see more
27:22
Speaker 4: technology being used because during COVID it was almost as
27:26
Speaker 4: it was the first time that a lot of people
27:28
Speaker 4: utilize certain technology. Zoom was already out there. I was
27:31
Speaker 4: already using Zoom before COVID, but people discovered what they
27:35
Speaker 4: didn't know before. So now that they're aware of it,
27:38
Speaker 4: there will definitely be more use of technology. And then
27:42
Speaker 4: if you make learning more interesting, a lot of the
27:44
Speaker 4: safety issues, behavior issues that we have and those that
27:47
Speaker 4: you just mentioned, we don't have to worry about those
27:50
Speaker 4: so much because children students are enjoying education a lot
27:53
Speaker 4: more when it's more remote, and it's just writing this
27:56
Speaker 4: and writing that in this paper and that paper. They
27:58
Speaker 4: hate to go to school math class. But if you
28:01
Speaker 4: make it more fun, relatable to real life, then they're
28:06
Speaker 4: more excited about it. So if you're using AI for that,
28:08
Speaker 4: ask AI, you know, chat, GPT or whichever one you
28:11
Speaker 4: want to use on beings.
28:12
Speaker 1: So you're not running from AI. You're you're you're, you're.
28:17
Speaker 3: You're funding stop it, stop it no. But you know, Okay,
28:21
Speaker 3: first of all, you know we already fight them. Let
28:24
Speaker 3: let's talk from a minorities perspective. Okay, you know, minorities
28:28
Speaker 3: or just say blacks or people of color because they
28:30
Speaker 3: are not women. White women are now considering minorities. So
28:34
Speaker 3: when I say that term, I have to kind of
28:35
Speaker 3: like put a disclaimer on that. You know, Blacks, you know,
28:40
Speaker 3: we generally all the law paid, were generally all the
28:43
Speaker 3: last hired or the first released. You know, we don't
28:46
Speaker 3: have the tech training that we want to compete. And
28:50
Speaker 3: so so when I say that, I see myself, I
28:53
Speaker 3: see these robotses going down these assembly lines.
28:56
Speaker 1: I have to consider that AI.
28:58
Speaker 3: Then that's replacing people who who got these well paid jobs.
29:02
Speaker 1: Physically, you don't.
29:04
Speaker 3: You don't see how do we how, as a community
29:07
Speaker 3: that's always underserved from an economic and job employment opportunities,
29:12
Speaker 3: how do we how do we overcome the AI imbalance
29:15
Speaker 3: that's coming our way.
29:18
Speaker 4: I love that you asked me that question. I just
29:20
Speaker 4: had my fam one of my family unions a couple
29:22
Speaker 4: of weekends ago, and you know, coming from a family
29:25
Speaker 4: that's you know, deep into the word, uh, some of
29:28
Speaker 4: my cousins were like afraid of AI and they thought
29:31
Speaker 4: it was a double and all of that. And I
29:33
Speaker 4: explained to them, I said, that's how we're We're we're oppressed.
29:37
Speaker 4: Were we allow ourselves to be oppressed because you're worried
29:41
Speaker 4: about something thinking it's the devil. And one of my
29:43
Speaker 4: cousins is a football coach, and I explained to him,
29:46
Speaker 4: I said, you're afraid of AI. You think it's the devil,
29:48
Speaker 4: so you're not using it. But that competitor that you
29:51
Speaker 4: had the other culch over at that other school, he's
29:53
Speaker 4: using AI because he's not oppressed. He has to come
29:56
Speaker 4: from an oppression's history. And not only he's used to
30:00
Speaker 4: design plays because AI would be left for you and plays.
30:03
Speaker 4: And now he's a super coach right, you're going against
30:07
Speaker 4: a super coach with your old school plays, but he
30:10
Speaker 4: has used AI to help him to determine some new strategies.
30:13
Speaker 4: You keep wondering why you losing while they're winning. We're
30:16
Speaker 4: always steps behind because at first we are afraid of
30:21
Speaker 4: the new technology or anything that new that comes out.
30:23
Speaker 4: Stop being afraid, stop being oppressed, and make sure that
30:27
Speaker 4: whatever comes out you figure out how you can use it.
30:30
Speaker 4: It's all about how you use it in an appropriate
30:32
Speaker 4: way and that you're you practice integrity when you're using it.
30:36
Speaker 4: That's what's most important.
30:37
Speaker 1: A Doctor Doctor Visa hold on is the line I'm
30:39
Speaker 1: gonna gold to break. I want to come out.
30:41
Speaker 3: I want to ask one more question when you come back,
30:42
Speaker 3: because it is about AI. Because I think a lot
30:44
Speaker 3: of people confuse AI will everyday life because they're dealing
30:47
Speaker 3: with it now and they have a sense of not
30:50
Speaker 3: believing they're living.
30:50
Speaker 1: They are not living in the world of AI. When
30:52
Speaker 1: we were right back with more Doctor Visa, the incredible.
30:55
Speaker 3: Doctor Visa and the paid method, and she's an advocate,
30:58
Speaker 3: she's a leader, and she's a mentor.
31:00
Speaker 1: Be right back on more Money Making Conversations master Class.
31:10
Speaker 6: We'll be right back with more Money Making Conversations Masterclass
31:14
Speaker 6: with Rashawn McDonald. You are now tuned into the Money
31:18
Speaker 6: Making Conversations Minute of inspiration with Rashawn McDonald's.
31:22
Speaker 3: Attorney Benjamin Crump. It's a nationally recognized trial lawyer. He
31:26
Speaker 3: recently led to George Floyd's family legal team. Attorney Benjamin
31:30
Speaker 3: Crump once told me that anyone should sit in the
31:33
Speaker 3: courtroom during a trial, and you will clearly see there
31:36
Speaker 3: are two systems of justice.
31:38
Speaker 5: Just because they say it's legal, that doesn't mean it's right.
31:42
Speaker 5: Everything Hitler did to the Jews in Germany was legal,
31:45
Speaker 5: but that didn't make it right. Slavery was legal, but
31:49
Speaker 5: that didn't make it right. And they tried to tell
31:51
Speaker 5: us where they did. The trade by Martin and Breanna
31:54
Speaker 5: Taylor and Eric Gardner and so many others was legal.
31:59
Speaker 5: But I've on my bullet poor pit every chance I
32:03

Speaker 6: Now let's return to Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rashaan McDonald.
32:19
Speaker 3: Before I go, I wanted to ask one question of explanation,
32:22
Speaker 3: because a lot of people, you know, when they see AI,
32:24
Speaker 3: they thinking about actors, They thinking about roy, thinking about
32:27
Speaker 3: images that they look like them. They are doing their work,
32:30
Speaker 3: but AI, you know, like like since it's when my car,
32:33
Speaker 3: like sometimes when a car comes along next to it,
32:36
Speaker 3: it'll a beep, or sometimes if I don't break fast enough,
32:39
Speaker 3: it'll break for me. Or you know, like I said,
32:41
Speaker 3: when you're doing basically GPS, that's AI. You know, whcause
32:46
Speaker 3: it's redirecting you. If you have a traffic jam, that's AI.
32:49
Speaker 3: So a lot of people are living the AI world,
32:52
Speaker 3: but don't understand how they become so comfortable. They just
32:55
Speaker 3: think that's AI is something some robotic world out there
32:59
Speaker 3: or some artificial intelligence world of somebody coming in the
33:02
Speaker 3: room looking exactly like them doing their work.
33:04
Speaker 1: Am I right in assuming that's where the confusion is
33:06
Speaker 1: coming from.
33:08
Speaker 4: Yet, yes, and the other confusion. People always assume something
33:11
Speaker 4: is new, you know, seana if the general public has
33:14
Speaker 4: access to it. Once a general public has access to anything,
33:17
Speaker 4: it's been around for a long.
33:18
Speaker 2: Time, that's no.
33:19
Speaker 4: Way we get it first, right, So it's been around
33:22
Speaker 4: for a very long time. You know, you just got free. No,
33:25
Speaker 4: I think people just it's been they've been experiencing it
33:29
Speaker 4: just like you those examples you gave, and they just
33:32
Speaker 4: didn't know it. So some of the things that we
33:33
Speaker 4: love about about technology is AI. It's been available, but
33:37
Speaker 4: we just weren't calling it that at the time.
33:39
Speaker 1: I agree, I appreciate you.
33:41
Speaker 3: And again, you know we got to talk soon because
33:43
Speaker 3: of conversational style and flow. And you know, I got
33:46
Speaker 3: to find out why people call you a teacher in public.
33:48
Speaker 3: I gotta find out the age dress. Yeah, you're doing
33:50
