  job
• 0:01
  says
• 0:01
  I'm
• 0:01
  doing
• 0:01
  this,
• 0:01
  I'm
• 0:01
  only
• 0:01
  doing
• 0:02
  this,
• 0:02
  or
• 0:02
  I
• 0:03
  only
• 0:03
  wanna
• 0:03
  work
• 0:03
  this
• 0:04
  amount,
• 0:04
  or
• 0:04
  whatever
• 0:04
  the
• 0:04
  case
• 0:04
  may
• 0:05
  be.
• 0:05
  Um,
• 0:06
  because
• 0:06
  I
• 0:06
  come
• 0:06
  from
• 0:07
  an
• 0:07
  older
• 0:08
  mindset,
• 0:08
  an
• 0:08
  older
• 0:09
  generation.
• 0:10
  You
• 0:10
  said
• 0:10
  you
• 0:10
  could
• 0:11
  understand
• 0:11
  because
• 0:12
  you've
• 0:12
  been
• 0:12
  on
• 0:12
  both
• 0:12
  sides.
• 0:12
  Talk
• 0:13
  a
• 0:13
  little
• 0:13
  bit
• 0:13
  about
• 0:13
  it.
• 0:14
  Yeah.
• 0:14
  Um,
• 0:15
  yeah,
• 0:15
  I
• 0:16
  have
• 0:16
  been
• 0:16
  under
• 0:16
  on
• 0:16
  both
• 0:17
  sides
• 0:17
  and
• 0:17
  I
• 0:17
  can't
• 0:17
  understand
• 0:18
  that.
• 0:18
  I
• 0:18
  can't
• 0:18
  empathize
• 0:19
  with
• 0:20
  the
• 0:20
  younger
• 0:20
  generation
• 0:20
  because
• 0:21
  I
• 0:21
  think,
• 0:22
  I
• 0:22
  think
• 0:22
  it's,
• 0:22
  it's,
• 0:22
  it's
• 0:23
  important
• 0:23
  to
• 0:23
  start
• 0:23
  here.
• 0:23
  I
• 0:23
  think
• 0:24
  we
• 0:24
  have
• 0:24
  to
• 0:24
  give
• 0:24
  them
• 0:24
  grace,
• 0:25
  right?
• 0:25
  I
• 0:25
  think
• 0:25
  we,
• 0:25
  we
• 0:26
  have
• 0:26
  to
• 0:26
  approach
• 0:26
  this
• 0:26
  from
• 0:27
  a,
• 0:27
  uh.
• 0:27
  An
• 0:28
  approach
• 0:28
  of
• 0:28
  understanding
• 0:29
  and
• 0:29
  empathy,
• 0:30
  uh,
• 0:30
  before
• 0:31
  we
• 0:31
  are
• 0:31
  quick
• 0:31
  to
• 0:32
  judge,
• 0:32
  right?
• 0:33
  Because
• 0:33
  there's
• 0:33
  no
• 0:34
  fault
• 0:34
  to
• 0:34
  their,
• 0:35
  there's
• 0:35
  no
• 0:35
  fault
• 0:35
  of
• 0:35
  theirs,
• 0:36
  that
• 0:36
  they
• 0:36
  have
• 0:36
  been
• 0:37
  thrust
• 0:37
  into
• 0:37
  this
• 0:38
  society
• 0:38
  that
• 0:38
  is
• 0:39
  insanely
• 0:40
  reliant
• 0:41
  on
• 0:41
  technology
• 0:42
  and
• 0:42
  this
• 0:42
  society
• 0:43
  that
• 0:43
  where
• 0:43
  information
• 0:44
  is
• 0:44
  at
• 0:44
  their
• 0:44
  fingertips
• 0:45
  and
• 0:45
  there's
• 0:46
  are
• 0:46
  ways
• 0:46
  to
• 0:47
  make
• 0:47
  money
• 0:47
  and
• 0:47
  make
• 0:47
  a
• 0:48
  living
• 0:49
  in
• 0:49
  ways
• 0:49
  that
• 0:49
  there
• 0:49
  weren't
• 0:49
  before.
• 0:50
  We'll
• 0:50
  discuss
• 0:50
  race
• 0:51
  and
• 0:51
  how
• 0:51
  it
• 0:51
  plays
• 0:51
  a
• 0:51
  factor
• 0:53
  and
• 0:53
  how
• 0:53
  we
• 0:53
  didn't
• 0:53
  even
• 0:54
  talk
• 0:54
  about
• 0:54
  this
• 0:55
  topic

  But

  before
• 4:07
  we
• 4:07
  go
• 4:07
  into
• 4:08
  that,
• 4:08
  I
• 4:08

• 5:11
  man.
• 5:11
  That

• 5:11
  awesome.
• 5:12
  I
• 5:12
  never
• 5:12
  heard
• 5:13
  he

  Is

  because

  it'll,

• 5:33
  introduce
• 5:34
  you
• 5:34
  to
• 5:34
  itself
• 5:34
  real
• 5:35
  fast.
• 5:35
  Well,

  here,
• 5:35
  here's
• 5:36
  the
• 5:36
  thing
• 5:36

  A

  sudden
• 5:39
  run

• 5:40
  That's
• 5:40
  right.
• 5:40
  That
• 5:40
  is
• 5:40
  true.
• 5:40
  Then,
• 5:40
  you

  know,
• 5:41
  so

  I

  Maryland

  Mm-hmm.

• 5:52
  you
• 5:52
  got
• 5:52
  a
• 5:52
  lot
• 5:52
  going
• 5:52
  on.
• 5:53
  You
• 5:53
  know,
• 5:53
  you
• 5:54
  have
• 5:54
  this
• 5:54
  production
• 5:55
  company
• 5:56
  that
• 5:56
  you've
• 5:56
  done.
• 5:57
  Um,
• 5:57
  you're
• 5:57
  basically,
• 5:58
  and
• 5:58
  you're
• 5:58
  gonna
• 5:59
  talk
• 5:59
  a
• 5:59
  little
• 5:59
  bit
• 5:59
  about
• 5:59
  all
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  work
• 6:00
  that
• 6:00
  you
• 6:00
  do,
• 6:00
  and
• 6:00
  you've
• 6:01
  made
• 6:01
  a
• 6:01
  lot
• 6:01
  of
• 6:01
  short
• 6:02
  films.
• 6:03
  Um,
• 6:03
  it
• 6:04
  even
• 6:04
  took
• 6:04
  you
• 6:04
  a
• 6:04
  minute
• 6:04
  to
• 6:05
  get
• 6:05
  here
• 6:05
  because
• 6:05
  you
• 6:06
  were
• 6:06
  really,
• 6:06
  really
• 6:06
  busy
• 6:07
  and
• 6:07
  all
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  stuff
• 6:07
  you
• 6:07
  got
• 6:07
  going
• 6:08
  on,
• 6:08
  right?
• 6:09
  So,
• 6:09
  why
• 6:09
  did
• 6:09
  you
• 6:09
  wanna
• 6:09
  come
• 6:10
  on
• 6:10
  BEP
• 6:10
  to
• 6:10
  talk
• 6:11
  about
• 6:11
  this
• 6:11
  topic?
• 6:12
  Yeah,
• 6:12
  so
• 6:13
  I
• 6:13
  think
• 6:13
  that
• 6:14
  first
• 6:14
  off,
• 6:14
  um,
• 6:15
  this
• 6:15
  podcast
• 6:16
  is
• 6:16
  necessary,
• 6:17
  right?
• 6:17
  I
• 6:17
  think
• 6:18
  that
• 6:18
  the,
• 6:19
  creating
• 6:19
  a
• 6:19
  space
• 6:19
  where
• 6:20
  we
• 6:20
  can
• 6:20
  have
• 6:20
  comfortable,
• 6:21
  comfortable
• 6:21
  conversations
• 6:22
  in
• 6:23
  2024
• 6:23
  and
• 6:23
  2025
• 6:24
  is
• 6:24
  really
• 6:25
  important
• 6:25
  because
• 6:25
  I
• 6:25
  think
• 6:25
  we've
• 6:26
  seen
• 6:26
  over
• 6:27
  the
• 6:27
  past
• 6:27
  year
• 6:27
  or
• 6:27
  18
• 6:28
  months
• 6:28
  or
• 6:28
  so,
• 6:29
  these
• 6:29
  conversations
• 6:30
  sort
• 6:30
  of
• 6:30
  tail
• 6:31
  off
• 6:31
  a
• 6:31
  little
• 6:31
  bit,
• 6:31
  right?
• 6:32
  Or
• 6:32
  some,
• 6:32
  some
• 6:32
  people
• 6:32
  will
• 6:32
  be
• 6:32
  a
• 6:32
  little
• 6:32
  bit
• 6:32
  turned
• 6:33
  off
• 6:33
  by
• 6:33
  them,
• 6:34
  but
• 6:34
  I
• 6:34
  like
• 6:34
  the
• 6:34
  fact
• 6:35
  that
• 6:35
  this
• 6:35
  podcast
• 6:35
  encompasses
• 6:36
  all
• 6:37
  uncomfortable
• 6:37
  conversations,
• 6:38
  big,
• 6:38
  small,
• 6:39
  in
• 6:39
  between,
• 6:40
  doesn't
• 6:40
  matter.
• 6:41
  So
• 6:41
  I
• 6:42
  love
• 6:42
  that.
• 6:42
  And
• 6:42
  number
• 6:42
  two,
• 6:43
  I
• 6:43
  wanted
• 6:43
  to
• 6:43
  come
• 6:43
  on
• 6:43
  here
• 6:44
  because
• 6:44
  I
• 6:44
  felt
• 6:44
  as
• 6:44
  though
• 6:45
  that
• 6:46
  you
• 6:46
  have
• 6:46
  a
• 6:46
  topic
• 6:46
  that
• 6:46
  we're
• 6:46
  gonna
• 6:47
  talk
• 6:47
  about
• 6:47
  today
• 6:47
  in
• 6:47
  regards
• 6:48
  to
• 6:48
  the,
• 6:48
  the
• 6:49
  workforce
• 6:49
  generations
• 6:50
  bridging
• 6:50
  the
• 6:50
  gap,
• 6:51
  creativity,
• 6:52
  entrepreneurial
• 6:52
  entrepreneurism,
• 6:53
  and
• 6:54
  storytelling.
• 6:55
  I
• 6:55
  think
• 6:55
  that
• 6:55
  all
• 6:56
  of
• 6:56
  those
• 6:56
  things
• 6:56
  are
• 6:56
  really
• 6:57
  coming
• 6:57
  to
• 6:57
  the
• 6:57
  forefront
• 6:58
  of
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  workforce
• 7:00
  through
• 7:00
  creative
• 7:01
  world
• 7:01
  and,
• 7:02
  um,
• 7:02
  just
• 7:02
  the,
• 7:03
  the
• 7:03
  dynamic
• 7:03
  of
• 7:03
  how
• 7:04
  we're
• 7:04
  existing
• 7:04
  with
• 7:04
  one
• 7:05
  another.
• 7:05
  And
• 7:06
  I
• 7:06
  think
• 7:06
  that
• 7:07
  it's
• 7:07
  reaching
• 7:08
  a
• 7:08
  critical
• 7:08
  point
• 7:09
  to
• 7:09
  whereas.
• 7:10
  Both
• 7:11
  sides
• 7:11
  or
• 7:12
  all
• 7:12
  generations
• 7:13
  need
• 7:13
  to
• 7:13

• 8:10
  on
• 8:10

• 8:10
  And
• 8:11
  as
• 8:11
  a
• 8:11
  kid,
• 8:11
  you
• 8:12
  know,
• 8:12
  that
• 8:12
  didn't
• 8:12
  really
• 8:13
  mean
• 8:13

• 8:13
  but
• 8:13
  that
• 8:13
  sure
• 8:14
  enough,
• 8:14
  uh,
• 8:14
  that
• 8:14
  day
• 8:15
  short
• 8:15
  enough
• 8:15
  came.
• 8:15
  Right?
• 8:16
  So
• 8:16
  how
• 8:16
  the
• 8:17
  acting
• 8:17
  thing
• 8:17
  sort
• 8:17
  of
• 8:17
  came
• 8:18
  about
• 8:18
  was
• 8:18
  when
• 8:19
  I
• 8:19
  was
• 8:19
  in
• 8:19
  high
• 8:19
  school,
• 8:20
  I
• 8:20
  was
• 8:20
  a
• 8:20
  basketball
• 8:20
  player,
• 8:21
  I
• 8:21
  ran
• 8:22
  track,
• 8:22
  played
• 8:22
  basketball,
• 8:23
  and
• 8:23
  I
• 8:23
  was
• 8:23
  pretty
• 8:23
  good.
• 8:24
  And
• 8:25
  what
• 8:25
  happened
• 8:25
  was
• 8:25
  I
• 8:25
  had
• 8:25
  gotten
• 8:26
  hurt
• 8:26
  my
• 8:26
  junior
• 8:27
  year.
• 8:28
  And
• 8:28
  in
• 8:28
  addition
• 8:28
  to
• 8:29
  that,
• 8:29
  I
• 8:29
  had
• 8:29
  brought
• 8:30
  home
• 8:30
  a
• 8:30
  C
• 8:30
  on
• 8:30
  my
• 8:31
  interim
• 8:31
  report
• 8:32
  or
• 8:32
  no?
• 8:33
  So
• 8:33
  when
• 8:33
  you
• 8:33
  say
• 8:33
  you
• 8:33
  got
• 8:33
  hurt,
• 8:33
  like
• 8:33
  how
• 8:34
  did
• 8:34
  you
• 8:34
  get
• 8:34
  hurt?
• 8:35
  Yeah,
• 8:35
  so
• 8:35
  I
• 8:36
  had
• 8:36
  decided
• 8:36
  I
• 8:36
  wanted
• 8:36
  to
• 8:37
  play
• 8:37
  football,
• 8:38
  so
• 8:38
  I
• 8:38
  was
• 8:38
  the
• 8:38
  basketball
• 8:39
  star,
• 8:40
  I
• 8:40
  guess
• 8:40
  you
• 8:40
  could
• 8:40
  say.
• 8:41
  And
• 8:41
  then
• 8:41
  if
• 8:41
  you
• 8:42
  had
• 8:42
  the
• 8:42
  football
• 8:42
  ball
• 8:42
  guys
• 8:43
  over
• 8:43
  here
• 8:44
  and
• 8:44
  you
• 8:44
  know,
• 8:44
  they
• 8:44
  like
• 8:44
  to
• 8:44
  talk
• 8:44
  trash
• 8:45
  to
• 8:45
  the
• 8:45
  basketball
• 8:45
  guys
• 8:46
  and
• 8:46
  what
• 8:46
  have
• 8:46
  you.
• 8:46
  So
• 8:46
  you
• 8:46
  know,
• 8:47
  the
• 8:47
  football
• 8:47
  guys,
• 8:47
  they
• 8:47
  would
• 8:47
  come
• 8:48
  try
• 8:48
  out
• 8:48
  for
• 8:48
  the
• 8:48
  basketball
• 8:49
  team.
• 8:49
  So
• 8:50
  I
• 8:50
  said,
• 8:50
  all
• 8:50
  right,
• 8:50
  I'm
• 8:50
  gonna
• 8:51
  come
• 8:51
  play
• 8:51
  football.
• 8:52
  And,
• 8:52
  um,
• 8:53
  I
• 8:53
  was
• 8:53
  pretty
• 8:53
  good.
• 8:53
  But
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  problem
• 8:54
  was,
• 8:55
  I,
• 8:55
  the
• 8:56
  change
• 8:56
  in
• 8:56
  terrain
• 8:57
  from
• 8:57
  going
• 8:57
  from
• 8:57
  hardwood
• 8:58
  to
• 8:59
  a
• 8:59
  soft
• 8:59
  turf
• 9:00
  field
• 9:00
  was
• 9:01
  giving
• 9:01
  me
• 9:01
  tendonitis.
• 9:02
  Mm-hmm.
• 9:02
  Was
• 9:02
  giving
• 9:02
  me
• 9:02
  knee
• 9:02
  issues.
• 9:03
  So
• 9:05
  as
• 9:05
  a
• 9:05
  result,
• 9:06
  I
• 9:06
  was
• 9:06
  unable
• 9:07
  to
• 9:07
  play
• 9:07
  basketball
• 9:08
  that
• 9:08
  season.
• 9:10
  Um,
• 9:10
  I
• 9:10
  could
• 9:10
  have
• 9:10
  stayed
• 9:11
  on
• 9:11
  the
• 9:11
  team,
• 9:11
  but
• 9:11
  I
• 9:11
  didn't
• 9:12
  want
• 9:12
  to
• 9:12
  get,
• 9:12
  I
• 9:12
  didn't
• 9:12
  want
• 9:12
  to
• 9:13
  take
• 9:13
  up
• 9:13
  a
• 9:13
  spot
• 9:13
  and
• 9:13
  not
• 9:13
  be
• 9:13
  able
• 9:13
  to
• 9:14
  play.
• 9:14
  So
• 9:14
  I
• 9:14
  said,
• 9:14
  you
• 9:14
  know
• 9:14
  what,
• 9:15
  I'm
• 9:15
  just
• 9:15
  gonna
• 9:16
  run
• 9:16
  indoor
• 9:17
  track
• 9:17
  when
• 9:17
  I'm
• 9:18
  healthy
• 9:19
  and
• 9:19
  outdoor
• 9:19
  track
• 9:19
  in
• 9:19
  the,
• 9:20
  uh,
• 9:20
  spring.
• 9:21
  Just
• 9:21
  get
• 9:21
  my
• 9:22
  strength
• 9:22
  and
• 9:22
  conditioning
• 9:22
  up
• 9:23
  on
• 9:23
  my
• 9:23
  legs.
• 9:23
  Got
• 9:23
  it.
• 9:24
  Got
• 9:24
  it.
• 9:24
  So
• 9:24
  I
• 9:24
  had
• 9:25
  brought
• 9:25
  home
• 9:25
  a
• 9:25
  C
• 9:26
  on
• 9:26
  my
• 9:26
  progress
• 9:27
  report,
• 9:27
  and
• 9:28
  it
• 9:28
  was
• 9:28
  in
• 9:28
  theater
• 9:28
  arts
• 9:29
  and
• 9:30
  in
• 9:30
  my
• 9:30
  household
• 9:31
  you
• 9:31
  were
• 9:31
  not
• 9:31
  allowed
• 9:31
  to
• 9:32
  bring
• 9:32
  home
• 9:32
  cs.
• 9:33
  So
• 9:33
  my
• 9:33
  dad
• 9:34
  sees
• 9:34
  this
• 9:34
  and
• 9:34
  he
• 9:35
  said,
• 9:35
  well,
• 9:35
  this
• 9:35
  is
• 9:35
  unacceptable,
• 9:36
  especially
• 9:37
  in
• 9:37
  theater
• 9:37
  arts.
• 9:38
  I
• 9:38
  could
• 9:38
  see
• 9:38
  if
• 9:38
  this
• 9:38
  was
• 9:38
  math
• 9:39
  of
• 9:39
  science.
• 9:40
  So
• 9:40
  I
• 9:40
  go
• 9:40
  to
• 9:40
  my
• 9:40
  theater
• 9:41
  arts
• 9:41
  teacher
• 9:42
  and
• 9:42
  I
• 9:42
  say,
• 9:42
  Hey,
• 9:42
  Mr.
• 9:42
  Minor,
• 9:43
  yeah,
• 9:43
  this
• 9:44
  is
• 9:44
  this,
• 9:44
  this,
• 9:44
  this
• 9:45
  isn't
• 9:45
  gonna
• 9:45
  work.
• 9:46
  And
• 9:46
  he
• 9:46
  says,
• 9:47
  well,
• 9:47
  how
• 9:48
  about
• 9:48
  this?
• 9:48
  Why
• 9:49
  don't
• 9:49
  you
• 9:49
  come
• 9:49
  to
• 9:49
  auditions?
• 9:50
  I.
• 9:51
  I
• 9:51
  said,
• 9:51
  Mr.
• 9:51
  Minor,
• 9:51
  I
• 9:51
  can't
• 9:52
  come
• 9:52
  to
• 9:52
  auditions.
• 9:52
  I
• 9:53
  have
• 9:53
  basketball
• 9:54
  practice,
• 9:54
  or
• 9:54
  I
• 9:54
  have
• 9:54
  track
• 9:54
  practice.
• 9:55
  He
• 9:55
  said,
• 9:55
  well,
• 9:56
  I
• 9:56
  guess
• 9:56
  you're
• 9:56
  just
• 9:56
  gonna
• 9:56
  have
• 9:56
  a
• 9:56
  C
• 9:57
  then.
• 9:57
  So
• 9:58
  naturally
• 9:58
  I
• 9:58
  went
• 9:58
  to
• 9:59
  auditions
• 9:59
  and
• 9:59
  he
• 9:59
  keeps
• 9:59
  calling
• 10:00
  me
• 10:00
  back
• 10:00
  over
• 10:00
  and
• 10:00
  over
• 10:01
  again.
• 10:01
  I'm
• 10:01
  checking
• 10:01
  the
• 10:01
  board.
• 10:01
  I'm
• 10:02
  going
• 10:02
  to
• 10:02
  school.
• 10:02
  Why
• 10:02
  is
• 10:02
  my
• 10:02
  name
• 10:03
  still
• 10:05
  being
• 10:05
  here
• 10:05
  week
• 10:06
  after
• 10:06
  week?
• 10:06
  And
• 10:07
  he
• 10:07
  ultimately
• 10:07
  gives
• 10:07
  me
• 10:07
  the
• 10:08
  main
• 10:08
  part
• 10:09
  and
• 10:09
  that
• 10:09
  part
• 10:10
  is
• 10:10
  Macbeth.
• 10:11
  Wow.
• 10:12
  I
• 10:12
  did
• 10:12
  not
• 10:12
  know
• 10:13
  who
• 10:13
  Sha,
• 10:13
  I
• 10:14
  knew
• 10:14
  who
• 10:14
  Shakespeare
• 10:14
  was.
• 10:14
  I
• 10:15
  wasn't
• 10:16
  familiar
• 10:16
  with
• 10:17
  the
• 10:17
  ins
• 10:17
  and
• 10:17
  outs
• 10:18
  of
• 10:18
  Macbeth
• 10:18
  or
• 10:19
  with
• 10:19
  anything
• 10:20
  else
• 10:20
  he
• 10:20
  had
• 10:20
  written.
• 10:21
  So,
• 10:21
  um,
• 10:22
  that
• 10:22
  was
• 10:22
  an
• 10:22
  amazing
• 10:22
  experience.
• 10:23
  So,
• 10:23
  um,
• 10:24
  I,
• 10:24
  I,
• 10:24
  I
• 10:24
  killed
• 10:25
  it
• 10:25
  at
• 10:25
  least
• 10:25
  as
• 10:25
  far
• 10:25
  as
• 10:26
  the
• 10:26
  audience
• 10:26
  is
• 10:26
  concerned.
• 10:27
  And,
• 10:28
  you
• 10:28
  know,
• 10:28
  it
• 10:28
  was
• 10:28
  funny,
• 10:28
  I
• 10:28
  had
• 10:28
  my
• 10:29
  friends
• 10:29
  in
• 10:29
  the
• 10:29
  front
• 10:29
  row
• 10:29
  trying
• 10:30
  to
• 10:30
  make
• 10:30
  me
• 10:30
  laugh
• 10:30
  and
• 10:30
  what
• 10:31
  have
• 10:31
  you.
• 10:31
  And,
• 10:32
  um,
• 10:32
  so
• 10:32
  from
• 10:32
  there
• 10:32
  that
• 10:33
  was
• 10:33
  really
• 10:33
  sparked
• 10:33
  my
• 10:33
  interest
• 10:34
  into
• 10:34
  acting
• 10:35
  and
• 10:35
  into
• 10:35
  movies.
• 10:36
  And
• 10:36
  from
• 10:37
  there,
• 10:37
  that
• 10:37
  is
• 10:37
  when
• 10:37
  my
• 10:37
  sister
• 10:38
  got,
• 10:38
  uh,
• 10:38
  involved
• 10:39
  in
• 10:39
  it
• 10:39
  as
• 10:39
  well
• 10:39
  because
• 10:40
  she
• 10:40
  was
• 10:40
  on,
• 10:40
  she
• 10:40
  loved
• 10:40
  music.
• 10:41
  She
• 10:42
  had
• 10:42
  a
• 10:42
  camera
• 10:42
  and
• 10:43
  she
• 10:43
  was
• 10:43
  shooting
• 10:43
  music
• 10:43
  videos,
• 10:44
  you
• 10:44
  know,
• 10:44
  young
• 10:44
  18,
• 10:45
  17
• 10:45
  years
• 10:45
  old,
• 10:46
  just
• 10:46
  having
• 10:46
  fun
• 10:46
  with
• 10:46
  a
• 10:46
  camera.
• 10:47
  And
• 10:47
  so
• 10:48
  from
• 10:48
  there
• 10:48
  that,
• 10:49
  looking
• 10:49
  back
• 10:49
  that
• 10:50
  I
• 10:50
  think
• 10:50
  that
• 10:50
  was
• 10:50
  the
• 10:50
  spark
• 10:51
  for
• 10:51
  both
• 10:51
  of
• 10:51
  us
• 10:52
  that
• 10:52
  said,
• 10:52
  Hey,
• 10:53
  you
• 10:53
  know
• 10:53
  what,
• 10:53
  maybe
• 10:53
  we
• 10:53
  can
• 10:53
  do
• 10:53
  this.
• 10:54
  And
• 10:54
  then
• 10:54
  we
• 10:54
  had
• 10:54
  parents
• 10:55
  who
• 10:55
  really
• 10:55
  believed
• 10:56
  in
• 10:56
  us,
• 10:56
  right?
• 10:56
  And
• 10:56
  really
• 10:57
  said,
• 10:57
  Hey,
• 10:57
  you
• 10:58
  can
• 10:58
  do
• 10:58
  whatever
• 10:58
  you
• 10:58
  want.
• 10:59
  What
• 10:59
  is
• 10:59
  your
• 10:59
  oyster?
• 10:59
  Go
• 11:00
  chase
• 11:00
  your
• 11:00
  dreams.
• 11:01
  And
• 11:01
  um,
• 11:02
  that's,
• 11:02
  that's
• 11:02
  how
• 11:02
  it
• 11:02
  started,
• 11:03
  buddy.
• 11:03
  So
• 11:04
  number
• 11:04
  one,
• 11:04
  the
• 11:04
  teacher
• 11:05
  saw
• 11:05
  something
• 11:05
  in
• 11:05
  you.
• 11:06
  Think
• 11:06
  so.
• 11:07
  I
• 11:07
  think
• 11:07
  he
• 11:07
  was,
• 11:08
  Hey,
• 11:08
  I
• 11:08
  think
• 11:08
  he
• 11:08
  was
• 11:09
  trying
• 11:09
  to
• 11:09
  sell
• 11:09
  some
• 11:09
  tickets.
• 11:10
  He
• 11:10
  look,
• 11:10
  so,
• 11:11
  to
• 11:11
  give
• 11:12
  you
• 11:12
  the
• 11:12
  thing,
• 11:12
  Macbeth,
• 11:13
  so
• 11:13
  how
• 11:13
  was
• 11:13
  he
• 11:14
  trying
• 11:14
  to
• 11:14
  sell
• 11:14
  tickets?
• 11:15
  I,
• 11:17
  because
• 11:17
  there
• 11:17
  must
• 11:17
  be
• 11:17
  some
• 11:17
  more
• 11:18
  of
• 11:18
  the
• 11:18
  story
• 11:18
  that
• 11:18
  I
• 11:18
  don't
• 11:19
  know
• 11:19
  about.
• 11:19
  I
• 11:19
  I
• 11:19
  knew
• 11:20
  a
• 11:20
  lot
• 11:20
  of
• 11:20
  people
• 11:20
  in
• 11:20
  the
• 11:20
  school.
• 11:21
  Yeah,
• 11:21
  yeah.
• 11:21
  But
• 11:22
  to
• 11:22
  do
• 11:22
  that
• 11:22
  beat
• 11:22
  basketball.
• 11:23
  To
• 11:23
  play
• 11:23
  that
• 11:23
  character
• 11:24
  though.
• 11:25
  Yeah.
• 11:25
  Yeah.
• 11:25
  Let,
• 11:25
  that's
• 11:25
  not
• 11:26
  easy.
• 11:26
  I
• 11:27
  think
• 11:27
  some
• 11:27
  of
• 11:27
  the
• 11:27
  other
• 11:27
  thespians
• 11:28
  were
• 11:28
  a
• 11:28
  little
• 11:28
  upset.
• 11:29
  Okay.
• 11:29
  Think
• 11:29
  about
• 11:29
  it
• 11:29
  for
• 11:29
  a
• 11:30
  second.
• 11:30
  I
• 11:30
  played
• 11:30
  Martin
• 11:30
  Luther
• 11:31
  King
• 11:31
  Jr.
• 11:32
  Right
• 11:32
  in,
• 11:33
  in
• 11:33
  one
• 11:33
  of
• 11:33
  our,
• 11:33
  when
• 11:33
  I
• 11:33
  was
• 11:33
  in.
• 11:34
  Sixth
• 11:35
  grade
• 11:35
  or
• 11:35
  something
• 11:35
  of
• 11:36
  that
• 11:36
  nature.
• 11:36
  Right.
• 11:36
  Not
• 11:36
  bad.
• 11:37
  It
• 11:37
  was
• 11:37
  three,
• 11:38
  four
• 11:38
  lines.
• 11:41
  Right.
• 11:42
  I
• 11:42
  didn't
• 11:42
  have
• 11:42
  to,
• 11:42
  you
• 11:42
  know,
• 11:43
  I
• 11:43
  didn't
• 11:43
  have
• 11:43
  to
• 11:43
  practice,
• 11:44
  I
• 11:44
  didn't
• 11:44
  have
• 11:45
  to
• 11:45
  to
• 11:45
  play
• 11:45
  Macbeth.
• 11:46
  Yeah.
• 11:47
  That
• 11:47
  was,
• 11:47
  that's
• 11:47
  not
• 11:47
  anybody
• 11:48
  gets
• 11:48
  that.
• 11:48
  All
• 11:49
  right.
• 11:49
  Yeah.
• 11:49
  And
• 11:50
  so,
• 11:50
  so
• 11:50
  number
• 11:50
  one,
• 11:51
  he
• 11:51
  had
• 11:51
  to,
• 11:51
  and,
• 11:51
  and
• 11:52
  again,
• 11:52
  I
• 11:52
  don't,
• 11:53
  I
• 11:53
  just
• 11:53
  biased
• 11:53
  on
• 11:53
  the
• 11:53
  story.
• 11:54
  Mm-hmm.
• 11:54
  Had
• 11:54
  to
• 11:55
  see
• 11:55
  something
• 11:55
  in
• 11:55
  you.
• 11:56
  Number
• 11:56
  two,
• 11:56
  you
• 11:56
  said
• 11:57
  you
• 11:57
  killed
• 11:57
  it.
• 11:58
  Right.
• 11:58
  Because
• 11:58
  evidently
• 11:59
  you
• 11:59
  must
• 11:59
  have
• 11:59
  put
• 11:59
  some
• 11:59
  effort
• 12:00
  into
• 12:00
  it.
• 12:00
  I
• 12:00
  did.
• 12:00
  Right.
• 12:01
  And
• 12:01
  you
• 12:01
  practiced.
• 12:02
  'cause
• 12:02
  you
• 12:02
  didn't
• 12:02
  want
• 12:02
  to,
• 12:03
  if
• 12:03
  your
• 12:03
  parents,
• 12:04
  as
• 12:04
  you're
• 12:04
  telling
• 12:05
  us,
• 12:05
  you
• 12:05
  know,
• 12:06
  they
• 12:06
  didn't
• 12:06
  accept
• 12:06
  the
• 12:06
  C
• 12:07
  So
• 12:07
  other
• 12:07
  words,
• 12:07
  they
• 12:07
  didn't
• 12:07
  accept
• 12:08
  anything
• 12:08
  half-assed.
• 12:09
  That's
• 12:09
  true.
• 12:10
  Right.
• 12:10
  So
• 12:10
  then
• 12:10
  that
• 12:10
  means
• 12:11
  when
• 12:11
  you,
• 12:11
  you,
• 12:11
  you,
• 12:11
  you
• 12:12
  said,
• 12:12
  okay,
• 12:13
  I'll
• 12:13
  do
• 12:13
  it.
• 12:13
  You
• 12:14
  put
• 12:14
  in
• 12:14
  a
• 12:14
  hundred
• 12:14
  percent
• 12:15
  and
• 12:15
  you
• 12:15
  kicked
• 12:15
  butt.
• 12:16
  I
• 12:16
  did.
• 12:17
  You
• 12:17
  know,
• 12:17
  I
• 12:17
  did.
• 12:17
  I,
• 12:18
  uh,
• 12:18
  I,
• 12:19
  uh,
• 12:19
  was
• 12:19
  up
• 12:19
  all
• 12:19
  night.
• 12:20
  Recording,
• 12:21
  like
• 12:21
  rehearsing
• 12:22
  my
• 12:22
  lines,
• 12:22
  I
• 12:22
  was
• 12:22
  going
• 12:23
  to
• 12:23
  the
• 12:23
  other
• 12:23
  actor's
• 12:23
  houses
• 12:24
  and
• 12:24
  making
• 12:24
  sure
• 12:24
  I
• 12:25
  had
• 12:25
  my
• 12:25
  lines
• 12:25
  right.
• 12:26
  And,
• 12:26
  um,
• 12:27
  so
• 12:27
  yeah,
• 12:27
  I
• 12:27
  put
• 12:27
  a,
• 12:27
  I
• 12:27
  put
• 12:27
  a
• 12:28
  lot
• 12:28
  into
• 12:28
  it
• 12:28
  and,
• 12:28
  um,
• 12:29
  you
• 12:29
  know,
• 12:30
  didn't
• 12:30
  really
• 12:30
  think
• 12:30
  much
• 12:30
  of
• 12:31
  it
• 12:31
  at
• 12:31
  the
• 12:31
  time,
• 12:31
  but,
• 12:32
  uh,
• 12:32
  to
• 12:32
  your
• 12:32
  point,
• 12:32
  yeah,
• 12:33
  maybe
• 12:33
  he
• 12:33
  did
• 12:33
  see
• 12:33
  something
• 12:34
  and,
• 12:34
  uh,
• 12:34
  here
• 12:34
  we
• 12:34
  are
• 12:34
  now.
• 12:35
  You
• 12:35
  know,
• 12:35
  I
• 12:35
  think
• 12:35
  that
• 12:35
  was,
• 12:35
  uh,
• 12:36
  the
• 12:36
  beginning
• 12:37
  of
• 12:37
  this,
• 12:37
  uh,
• 12:37
  sort
• 12:37
  of
• 12:38
  storytelling
• 12:39
  journey.
• 12:40
  That
• 12:40
  I,
• 12:40
  that
• 12:40
  I
• 12:40
  went
• 12:41
  on.
• 12:41
  Wow.
• 12:41
  But
• 12:41
  you
• 12:42
  know,
• 12:42
  mind
• 12:42
  if
• 12:42
  I
• 12:42
  tell
• 12:42
  you
• 12:43
  this
• 12:43
  quick
• 12:43
  story?
• 12:43
  I,
• 12:44
  and
• 12:44
  I
• 12:44
  didn't
• 12:44
  re,
• 12:45
  I
• 12:45
  saw
• 12:45
  this
• 12:45
  on,
• 12:45
  um,
• 12:46
  what
• 12:46
  is
• 12:46
  the,
• 12:47
  um,
• 12:47
  the
• 12:47
  thing,
• 12:48
  uh,
• 12:48
  it
• 12:48
  comes
• 12:48
  on
• 12:49
  BET
• 12:49
  or
• 12:50
  I
• 12:50
  forget,
• 12:50
  they
• 12:50
  do
• 12:51
  a
• 12:51
  little
• 12:51
  backstory
• 12:52
  of
• 12:52
  an
• 12:52
  actor
• 12:53
  or,
• 12:53
  uh,
• 12:54
  an
• 12:54
  actress
• 12:54
  or
• 12:54
  a

• 12:58
  who
• 12:58
  Leon
• 12:58

• 12:59
  They
• 12:59
  did
• 12:59
  his
• 12:59
  backstory.
• 13:00
  He
• 13:00
  played
• 13:00
  the
• 13:00
  tempt
• 13:01
  David
• 13:01
  Ruffin

  Okay.

  That,

  I'm
• 13:05
  telling

  you

  Because
• 13:07
  it's
• 13:07
  similar
• 13:07
  to
• 13:07
  yours.
• 13:08
  He
• 13:08
  played,
• 13:09
  he
• 13:09
  got
• 13:09
  recruited,
• 13:10
  he's

  recruited,
• 13:12
  he
• 13:12
  got
• 13:12
  a

  I

  play
• 13:13
  basketball,
• 13:14
  uh,
• 13:14
  Lelo,
• 13:15
  uh,
• 13:15
  out
• 13:15
  in
• 13:15
  California.
• 13:17
  He
• 13:17
  was
• 13:17
  on
• 13:17
  the
• 13:17
  basketball
• 13:18
  team
• 13:18
  college.
• 13:19
  Okay.
• 13:20
  And
• 13:21
  all
• 13:21
  of
• 13:21
  a
• 13:21
  sudden
• 13:21
  a
• 13:21
  guy
• 13:22
  came
• 13:22
  up
• 13:22
  to
• 13:22
  him
• 13:22
  on
• 13:23
  the
• 13:23
  campus
• 13:23
  and
• 13:24
  said,
• 13:24
  Hey
• 13:24
  man,
• 13:25
  he
• 13:25
  said,
• 13:25
  you
• 13:26
  should
• 13:26
  check
• 13:26
  out
• 13:26
  this
• 13:26
  acting
• 13:27
  thing,
• 13:27
  this
• 13:27
  class,
• 13:28
  this
• 13:28
  drama.
• 13:29
  So
• 13:29
  he
• 13:30
  went
• 13:30
  and
• 13:30
  checked
• 13:30
  it
• 13:30
  out,
• 13:30
  but
• 13:30
  he
• 13:30
  wasn't
• 13:31
  interested
• 13:31
  in
• 13:31
  it.
• 13:31
  Right.
• 13:32
  And
• 13:32
  then
• 13:32
  he
• 13:32
  said
• 13:33
  like
• 13:33
  his
• 13:33
  second
• 13:33
  year,
• 13:34
  this
• 13:34
  dude
• 13:34
  ran
• 13:34
  up
• 13:34
  to
• 13:35
  him
• 13:35
  and
• 13:35
  said,
• 13:35
  look

  man,
• 13:36
  we
• 13:36

• 13:36
  be
• 13:36
  in
• 13:36
  this
• 13:37
  play.
• 13:38
  And
• 13:38
  he
• 13:38
  was
• 13:38
  like,
• 13:38
  I
• 13:39
  don't
• 13:39
  look,
• 13:39
  I'm
• 13:39
  not
• 13:40
  interested.
• 13:40
  I
• 13:40
  don't
• 13:40
  know
• 13:40
  nothing
• 13:40
  about
• 13:41
  this.
• 13:41
  They
• 13:42
  said,
• 13:42
  you
• 13:42
  ain't
• 13:42
  got
• 13:42
  to.
• 13:42
  We've
• 13:43
  been

  watching
• 13:44
  you.
• 13:44
  I.
• 13:45
  Okay.
• 13:46
  And
• 13:46
  then
• 13:46
  he
• 13:46
  went
• 13:47
  and
• 13:47
  he
• 13:47
  got
• 13:48
  the
• 13:48
  bug.
• 13:49
  Okay.
• 13:49
  Just
• 13:50
  like
• 13:50
  you,
• 13:50
  not
• 13:51
  something
• 13:51
  he
• 13:51
  wasn't
• 13:51
  even
• 13:51
  thinking
• 13:51
  about.
• 13:52
  And
• 13:52
  then
• 13:52
  the
• 13:52
  moral
• 13:53
  of
• 13:53
  the
• 13:53
  story,
• 13:54
  he
• 13:54
  had
• 13:54
  a
• 13:54
  big
• 13:54
  play
• 13:55
  that
• 13:55
  he
• 13:55
  was
• 13:55
  gonna
• 13:55
  do
• 13:55
  on
• 13:56
  campus.
• 13:56
  Mm-hmm.
• 13:57
  And,
• 13:57
  uh,
• 13:58
  the,
• 13:58
  he
• 13:58
  went
• 13:58
  to
• 13:58
  the
• 13:58
  coach
• 13:59
  to
• 13:59
  say,
• 14:00
  Hey,

  this,
• 14:02
  this,
• 14:02
  this,
• 14:02
  this,
• 14:03
  this
• 14:03
  film
• 14:03
  or
• 14:03
  this,
• 14:04
  this
• 14:04
  play
• 14:04
  that
• 14:05
  I
• 14:05
  need
• 14:05
  to
• 14:05
  do.
• 14:05
  We
• 14:05
  have
• 14:05
  a
• 14:05
  game,
• 14:06
  can
• 14:06
  I
• 14:06
  miss
• 14:07
  the
• 14:07
  game?
• 14:07
  And
• 14:07
  the
• 14:08
  coach
• 14:08
  said
• 14:08
  to
• 14:08
  him,
• 14:09
  if
• 14:09
  you
• 14:09
  don't
• 14:10
  show
• 14:10
  up
• 14:10
  for
• 14:10
  this
• 14:10
  game,
• 14:10
  you're
• 14:11
  off
• 14:11
  the
• 14:11
  team.
• 14:12
  He
• 14:13
  looked
• 14:13
  and
• 14:13
  said,
• 14:15
  I'm
• 14:15
  off
• 14:15
  the
• 14:15
  team.
• 14:16
  Mm-hmm.
• 14:16
  And
• 14:16
  he
• 14:17
  left
• 14:17
  and
• 14:17
  looked
• 14:17
  and
• 14:18
  it
• 14:18
  took
• 14:18
  his
• 14:18
  career
• 14:19
  and
• 14:19
  he
• 14:19
  said
• 14:20
  he
• 14:20
  saw
• 14:20
  that
• 14:20
  coach
• 14:21
  years
• 14:21
  later
• 14:22
  and
• 14:22
  the
• 14:22
  coach
• 14:22
  apologized
• 14:24
  and
• 14:24
  said
• 14:24
  he
• 14:24
  should
• 14:25
  have
• 14:25
  been,
• 14:25
  and
• 14:25
  this
• 14:25
  kind
• 14:25
  of
• 14:25
  fits
• 14:26
  in
• 14:26
  terms
• 14:26
  of
• 14:26
  our
• 14:27
  generational
• 14:28
  stuff.
• 14:28
  He
• 14:28
  should
• 14:29
  have
• 14:29
  been
• 14:29
  more
• 14:29
  flexible.
• 14:32
  Uh,
• 14:32
  with
• 14:32
  his
• 14:33
  students,
• 14:33
  with
• 14:33
  his
• 14:34
  players,
• 14:34
  knowing
• 14:35
  that
• 14:35
  they
• 14:35
  had
• 14:35
  other
• 14:36
  gifts
• 14:37
  and
• 14:37
  talents.
• 14:38
  Right.

  So
• 14:39

  need

  Old

  Exactly.

  Mm-hmm.

  And
• 15:06
  then
• 15:06
  now,
• 15:06
  you
• 15:07
  know,
• 15:07
  um,
• 15:08
  life
• 15:08
  is
• 15:08
  a
• 15:08
  little
• 15:08
  bit
• 15:08
  more
• 15:08
  nuance
• 15:09
  than
• 15:09
  that.
• 15:09
  You
• 15:09
  know
• 15:09
  what
• 15:09
  I
• 15:09
  mean?
• 15:10
  You
• 15:10
  two
• 15:10
  things
• 15:10
  can
• 15:10
  be
• 15:10
  true,
• 15:11
  right?
• 15:11
  Or
• 15:11
  you
• 15:11
  can
• 15:11
  look
• 15:12
  at
• 15:12
  it
• 15:12
  from
• 15:12
  another
• 15:12
  perspective
• 15:13
  and
• 15:13
  say,
• 15:13
  Hey,
• 15:13
  well
• 15:13
  if
• 15:13
  this
• 15:14
  is
• 15:14
  calling
• 15:14
  you,
• 15:15
  then
• 15:15
  maybe
• 15:15
  you
• 15:15
  should
• 15:16
  answer
• 15:17
  that
• 15:17
  call.
• 15:18
  Excellent
• 15:19
  point,
• 15:19
  bro.
• 15:19
  So
• 15:20
  tell
• 15:20
  me,
• 15:20
  how
• 15:20
  did
• 15:20
  that,
• 15:21
  that
• 15:21
  seed
• 15:22
  that
• 15:22
  was
• 15:22
  planted,
• 15:23
  how
• 15:23
  did
• 15:23
  it
• 15:23
  take
• 15:23
  you
• 15:24
  to
• 15:24
  the
• 15:24
  next
• 15:24
  level?
• 15:25
  Well,
• 15:25
  I
• 15:25
  think
• 15:26
  that,
• 15:26
  um,
• 15:28
  it
• 15:28
  started
• 15:28
  with
• 15:28
  us
• 15:29
  being
• 15:29
  able
• 15:29
  to
• 15:30
  move
• 15:30
  to
• 15:30
  New
• 15:30
  York
• 15:31
  City,
• 15:31
  right?
• 15:31
  The
• 15:32
  plea
• 15:32
  was,
• 15:32
  the
• 15:32
  seed
• 15:32
  was
• 15:32
  planted
• 15:33
  years
• 15:34
  before
• 15:34
  we
• 15:34
  moved
• 15:35
  there,
• 15:35
  and
• 15:36
  we
• 15:36
  started
• 15:37
  with
• 15:37
  shooting
• 15:38
  content
• 15:38
  with
• 15:38
  the
• 15:39
  people
• 15:39
  who
• 15:39
  are
• 15:39
  around
• 15:40
  us.
• 15:40
  Right,
• 15:41
  long
• 15:41
  before
• 15:41
  we
• 15:42
  wrote
• 15:42
  a
• 15:42
  script,
• 15:42
  long
• 15:42
  before
• 15:43
  we
• 15:43
  even,
• 15:44
  um,
• 15:44
  shot
• 15:45
  a
• 15:45
  movie.
• 15:45
  It
• 15:45
  started
• 15:46
  with
• 15:46
  our
• 15:46
  family,
• 15:47
  our
• 15:47
  cousins,
• 15:48
  our
• 15:48
  friends,
• 15:49
  and
• 15:49
  what
• 15:49
  have
• 15:49
  you.
• 15:49
  So
• 15:50
  we
• 15:50
  would
• 15:50
  start,
• 15:51
  so
• 15:51
  we
• 15:51
  started

  to
• 16:13
  see
• 16:13
  what's
• 16:14
  possible.
• 16:14
  'cause
• 16:14
  we

  exposed

  with

• 16:29
  coming
• 16:30
  up
• 16:30
  here
• 16:30
  I
• 16:31
  think

  really
• 16:32
  what
• 16:32
  opened
• 16:32
  our

  because

• 16:34
  from
• 16:34
  a
• 16:34
  small
• 16:34
  town
• 16:35
  down
• 16:35
  in
• 16:35
  Maryland
• 16:36
  where
• 16:36
  a
• 16:36
  lot
• 16:36
  of
• 16:36
  folks
• 16:36
  are
• 16:37
  either
• 16:37
  just
• 16:37
  military,
• 16:38

• 16:38
  working
• 16:38

  state,

  local
• 16:39
  government,
• 16:40
  or
• 16:41
  you're
• 16:41
  working

• 16:42
  collar
• 16:42
  jobs,
• 16:42
  which
• 16:43
  is
• 16:43
  absolutely
• 16:43
  nothing
• 16:43
  wrong
• 16:44
  with
• 16:44
  that.
• 16:44
  But
• 16:45
  just
• 16:45
  as
• 16:45
  far
• 16:45
  as
• 16:45
  opportunity
• 16:46
  is
• 16:46
  concerned,

• 16:49
  York
• 16:49
  City
• 16:49
  and
• 16:49
  I
• 16:49

  bloom
• 16:53
  and
• 16:53
  blossom.
• 16:53
  Funny.
• 16:54
  That
• 16:54
  is
• 16:54
  so
• 16:54
  and
• 16:54
  so
• 16:54
  tho
• 16:55

  You,

  really
• 18:45
  lay
• 18:45
  out

  the

  you,
• 18:50
  and
• 18:51
  then
• 18:51
  I
• 18:51
  came
• 18:51
  up
• 18:51
  here
• 18:51
  2018
• 18:52
  through
• 18:52
  about
• 18:52
  2020s

  when

• 19:00
  of
• 19:01
  generations,
• 19:02
  I
• 19:02
  guess
• 19:02
  you
• 19:02
  could
• 19:02
  say.
• 19:03
  So
• 19:04
  I
• 19:04
  think
• 19:04
  what
• 19:04
  the
• 19:05
  biggest
• 19:05
  thing
• 19:05
  that
• 19:05
  sort
• 19:06
  of
• 19:06
  jumped
• 19:06
  off
• 19:06
  the
• 19:06
  paper
• 19:07
  for
• 19:07
  me
• 19:07
  was
• 19:08
  I
• 19:08
  was
• 19:08
  working
• 19:08
  with
• 19:09
  older
• 19:09
  executives.
• 19:10
  I
• 19:10
  was
• 19:10
  working
• 19:11
  with
• 19:11
  folks
• 19:11
  who
• 19:11
  were,
• 19:13
  I
• 19:13
  don't
• 19:13
  know,
• 19:13
  maybe
• 19:13
  in
• 19:13
  their
• 19:14
  fifties
• 19:14
  or
• 19:14
  older,
• 19:15
  and
• 19:15
  I
• 19:15
  was
• 19:15
  half
• 19:16
  of
• 19:16
  their
• 19:16
  age
• 19:16
  Correct.
• 19:17
  Working
• 19:17
  as
• 19:17
  their
• 19:17
  assistant.
• 19:18
  And
• 19:19
  it,
• 19:19
  it,
• 19:19
  it
• 19:19
  was
• 19:19
  interesting
• 19:20
  to
• 19:20
  me
• 19:21
  seeing
• 19:22
  how
• 19:22
  they
• 19:23
  were
• 19:23
  in
• 19:23
  this
• 19:23
  position
• 19:25
  and
• 19:25
  they
• 19:25
  had
• 19:25
  trouble
• 19:26
  figuring
• 19:26
  out
• 19:26
  how
• 19:27
  to
• 19:27
  send
• 19:27
  their
• 19:27
  email.
• 19:28
  Right.
• 19:28
  But
• 19:28
  as
• 19:29
  a
• 19:29
  young
• 19:29
  kid,
• 19:29
  you
• 19:29
  don't
• 19:30
  really
• 19:30
  quite
• 19:30
  understand
• 19:31
  that
• 19:31
  their
• 19:31
  value
• 19:32
  is
• 19:32
  not
• 19:32
  in
• 19:33
  the
• 19:34
  Gmail
• 19:34
  or
• 19:34
  Outlook
• 19:35
  inbox,
• 19:35
  right?
• 19:36
  Of
• 19:36
  course,
• 19:36
  they
• 19:36
  know
• 19:37
  how
• 19:37
  to
• 19:37
  send
• 19:37
  an
• 19:38
  email
• 19:38
  or
• 19:38
  structure
• 19:38
  an
• 19:39
  email,
• 19:39
  right?
• 19:40
  Their
• 19:40
  value
• 19:41
  is
• 19:41
  in
• 19:41
  the
• 19:41
  experience,
• 19:41
  the
• 19:41
  relationships,
• 19:42
  and
• 19:42
  what
• 19:43
  have
• 19:43
  you.
• 19:43
  And
• 19:44
  then
• 19:44
  as
• 19:44
  my
• 19:45
  career
• 19:45
  went
• 19:45
  on,
• 19:46
  I
• 19:46
  started
• 19:47
  to
• 19:47
  notice
• 19:48
  that
• 19:48
  the
• 19:48
  people
• 19:48
  who
• 19:49
  are
• 19:49
  around
• 19:49
  my
• 19:49
  age
• 19:50
  group
• 19:50
  and
• 19:50
  older
• 19:51
  didn't
• 19:52
  struggle
• 19:53
  as
• 19:53
  much
• 19:53
  with
• 19:54
  doing
• 19:54
  things
• 19:55
  that
• 19:55
  they
• 19:55
  were
• 19:55
  asked
• 19:56
  to
• 19:56
  do.
• 19:57
  Even
• 19:57
  though
• 19:57
  they
• 19:57
  didn't
• 19:58
  want
• 19:58
  to,
• 19:59
  and
• 19:59
  the
• 20:00
  folks
• 20:00
  who
• 20:00
  were
• 20:00
  a
• 20:00
  little
• 20:00
  bit
• 20:01
  younger
• 20:01
  than
• 20:01
  I
• 20:01
  was,
• 20:02
  were
• 20:02
  sort
• 20:02
  of
• 20:02
  struggling
• 20:03
  to
• 20:04
  justify
• 20:05
  why
• 20:05
  they
• 20:06
  should
• 20:06
  do
• 20:06
  things
• 20:06
  that
• 20:07
  may
• 20:07
  not
• 20:07
  be
• 20:08
  outside
• 20:08
  their
• 20:08
  job
• 20:09
  description.
• 20:10
  Now,
• 20:11
  the
• 20:11
  biggest
• 20:11
  thing
• 20:11
  that
• 20:11
  I
• 20:12
  noticed
• 20:13
  was
• 20:13
  that
• 20:14
  folks
• 20:14
  a
• 20:14
  little
• 20:15
  bit
• 20:15
  younger
• 20:15
  than
• 20:15
  me,
• 20:15
  uh,
• 20:16
  maybe
• 20:17
  I
• 20:17
  don't
• 20:17
  wanna
• 20:18
  prove
• 20:18
  really
• 20:18
  put
• 20:18
  a
• 20:18
  number
• 20:19
  on
• 20:19
  it,
• 20:19
  but
• 20:20
  they
• 20:20
  are
• 20:20
  not
• 20:21
  afraid
• 20:22
  to
• 20:22
  pull
• 20:23
  that
• 20:23
  job
• 20:23
  description
• 20:24
  card.
• 20:25
  Where
• 20:25
  I
• 20:26
  come
• 20:26
  from,
• 20:27
  I.
• 20:28
  You
• 20:29
  never
• 20:29
  pull
• 20:29
  that
• 20:29
  job
• 20:30
  description
• 20:30
  card
• 20:31
  unless
• 20:31
  it,
• 20:31
  I
• 20:31
  mean,
• 20:32
  it's
• 20:32
  been
• 20:32
  going
• 20:32
  on
• 20:32
  for
• 20:32
  months.
• 20:33
  This
• 20:33
  is
• 20:33
  outta
• 20:33
  control.
• 20:34
  They're
• 20:34
  taking
• 20:34
  advantage
• 20:35
  of
• 20:35
  you.
• 20:35
  You're
• 20:35
  not
• 20:35
  getting,
• 20:35
  like,
• 20:36
  I
• 20:36
  mean,
• 20:36
  it
• 20:36
  has
• 20:36
  to
• 20:36
  be
• 20:36
  really
• 20:37
  bad
• 20:37
  for
• 20:37
  you
• 20:37
  to
• 20:38
  have
• 20:38
  that
• 20:38
  conversation
• 20:39
  and
• 20:39
  you
• 20:39
  better
• 20:40
  not
• 20:40
  have
• 20:40
  that
• 20:40
  conversation
• 20:41
  within
• 20:41
  the
• 20:42
  first
• 20:42
  year.
• 20:43
  So
• 20:43
  I'm,
• 20:44
  I'm
• 20:44
  sort
• 20:44
  of
• 20:44
  in
• 20:44
  the
• 20:44
  middle
• 20:45
  of
• 20:45
  this,
• 20:45
  right,
• 20:45
  where
• 20:46
  my
• 20:46
  generation
• 20:46
  understands
• 20:47
  both
• 20:47
  sides.
• 20:48
  So,
• 20:48
  so
• 20:48
  working
• 20:49
  in
• 20:49
  those
• 20:49
  environments
• 20:50
  was
• 20:50
  really,
• 20:51
  really
• 20:51
  interesting
• 20:52
  to
• 20:52
  see.
• 20:53
  How
• 20:53
  much
• 20:53
  pushback
• 20:54
  some
• 20:55
  of
• 20:55
  the
• 20:55
  younger
• 20:55
  folks
• 20:56
  would
• 20:56
  give
• 20:57
  and
• 20:57
  how
• 20:58
  the
• 20:58
  older
• 20:58
  folks
• 20:59
  or
• 21:00
  the
• 21:00
  uh,
• 21:00
  folks
• 21:01
  in
• 21:01
  the
• 21:01
  positions
• 21:01
  of
• 21:01
  leadership
• 21:02
  couldn't
• 21:03
  quite
• 21:03
  understand
• 21:04
  why
• 21:05
  that
• 21:05
  the
• 21:05
  younger
• 21:05
  folks
• 21:05
  had
• 21:06
  this
• 21:06
  position.
• 21:07
  So
• 21:07
  I
• 21:07
  think
• 21:07
  that
• 21:07
  I'm
• 21:08
  in
• 21:08
  a
• 21:08
  unique
• 21:08
  spot
• 21:09
  to
• 21:09
  be
• 21:09
  able
• 21:09
  to
• 21:09
  understand
• 21:10
  both
• 21:10
  sides
• 21:11
  of
• 21:11
  the
• 21:11
  equation.
• 21:11
  Right?
• 21:12
  And,
• 21:13
  um,
• 21:13
  I
• 21:13
  think
• 21:13
  that
• 21:14
  that
• 21:14
  was
• 21:14
  just
• 21:14
  a
• 21:15
  really
• 21:15
  interesting.
• 21:16
  Dynamics
• 21:17
  who
• 21:17
  have
• 21:17
  witnessed
• 21:18
  it's
• 21:18
  time
• 21:18
  to
• 21:18
  rethink
• 21:19
  your
• 21:19
  protein.

  know,

  Correct.

  a
• 22:06
  baby
• 22:06
  boomer.
• 22:06
  Right.
• 22:07
  And
• 22:07
  it
• 22:07
  went
• 22:07
  from
• 22:07
  44
• 22:08
  to
• 22:08
  64.
• 22:09
  I

  that
• 22:20
  has
• 22:20
  been
• 22:20
  a
• 22:20
  struggle
• 22:21
  because
• 22:21
  I
• 22:21
  think
• 22:22
  one
• 22:22
  of
• 22:22
  the
• 22:22
  reasons
• 22:23
  why,
• 22:23
  well,

• 22:31
  When
• 22:31
  I
• 22:31
  was
• 22:31
  a
• 22:31
  kid,
• 22:32
  I.
• 22:32
  When
• 22:33
  I
• 22:33
  was
• 22:33
  six
• 22:33
  years
• 22:33
  old,
• 22:34
  my
• 22:34
  grandmother
• 22:35
  was
• 22:35
  telling
• 22:35
  me
• 22:35
  how
• 22:36
  soft
• 22:36
  we
• 22:36
  were.
• 22:37
  Right.
• 22:38
  And
• 22:38
  what
• 22:38
  they
• 22:38
  did
• 22:39
  earlier
• 22:40
  when
• 22:40
  they
• 22:40
  were
• 22:40
  a
• 22:40
  kid
• 22:41
  and
• 22:41
  they
• 22:41
  would
• 22:42
  run
• 22:42
  circles
• 22:42
  around
• 22:43
  us
• 22:43
  and
• 22:43
  how
• 22:43
  they
• 22:43
  carry
• 22:44
  two
• 22:44
  PAs
• 22:45
  of
• 22:45
  water,
• 22:45
  three
• 22:46
  miles
• 22:46
  and
• 22:47
  uphill,
• 22:47
  but
• 22:47
  all
• 22:48
  that
• 22:48
  type
• 22:48
  of,
• 22:48
  so
• 22:48
  that's
• 22:49
  not,
• 22:49
  that's
• 22:49
  not
• 22:50
  every
• 22:50
  generation
• 22:51
  does
• 22:51
  that.
• 22:51
  Mm-hmm.
• 22:51
  Right.
• 22:52
  Every,
• 22:52
  it
• 22:52
  is
• 22:52
  not
• 22:53
  something
• 22:53
  and
• 22:53
  then
• 22:54
  your,
• 22:54
  when
• 22:55
  you
• 22:55
  get
• 22:55
  older,
• 22:55
  you're
• 22:55
  gonna
• 22:55
  be
• 22:55
  telling
• 22:56
  your
• 22:56
  kids
• 22:56
  some,
• 22:56
  something
• 22:57
  similar.
• 22:57
  Right.
• 22:58
  The
• 22:58
  challenge
• 22:59
  is,
• 22:59
  is
• 22:59
  having
• 22:59
  all
• 23:00
  these
• 23:00
  generations
• 23:00
  in
• 23:01
  the
• 23:01
  workforce.
• 23:02
  More
• 23:02
  importantly,
• 23:03
  the
• 23:04
  mindsets
• 23:05
  that
• 23:05
  go
• 23:05
  with
• 23:05
  them.
• 23:06
  Okay.
• 23:07
  You
• 23:07
  just
• 23:08
  gave
• 23:08
  two
• 23:08
  quick,
• 23:09
  two
• 23:09
  great
• 23:09
  examples.
• 23:10
  Right.
• 23:11
  You
• 23:11
  know,
• 23:11
  there's
• 23:11
  a
• 23:11
  mindset
• 23:12
  of,
• 23:13
  you
• 23:13
  know,
• 23:13
  why
• 23:14
  am
• 23:14
  I,
• 23:14
  this
• 23:14
  ain't
• 23:15
  my
• 23:15
  job
• 23:15
  description.
• 23:16
  I.
• 23:16
  And
• 23:17
  I
• 23:17
  can't
• 23:17
  believe
• 23:17
  this,
• 23:18
  this,
• 23:18
  and
• 23:18
  that.
• 23:19
  And
• 23:19
  then
• 23:19
  there's
• 23:19
  a
• 23:19
  mindset.
• 23:20
  You
• 23:20
  ain't
• 23:20
  even
• 23:20
  got
• 23:20
  a
• 23:20
  right
• 23:21
  to
• 23:21
  even
• 23:21
  bring
• 23:21
  that
• 23:22
  up.
• 23:23
  You
• 23:23
  supposed
• 23:23
  to
• 23:23
  be
• 23:23
  just
• 23:24
  working
• 23:24
  hard
• 23:24
  and
• 23:24
  hoping
• 23:25
  that
• 23:25
  you
• 23:25
  get
• 23:25
  noticed.
• 23:26
  Exactly.
• 23:26
  Okay.
• 23:27
  And
• 23:27
  so,
• 23:28
  so
• 23:28
  when
• 23:28
  you
• 23:28
  have
• 23:29
  those
• 23:29
  two
• 23:29
  different
• 23:30
  mindsets
• 23:31
  and
• 23:31
  there's,
• 23:31
  there's
• 23:32
  others
• 23:32
  in
• 23:32
  the
• 23:32
  middle
• 23:33
  too
• 23:33
  as
• 23:33
  well.
• 23:33
  Mm-hmm.
• 23:34
  It
• 23:34
  causes
• 23:34
  friction.
• 23:35
  Okay.
• 23:36
  And
• 23:36
  so
• 23:37
  talk
• 23:37
  a
• 23:37
  little
• 23:37
  bit
• 23:38
  'cause
• 23:38
  I
• 23:38
  wanna,
• 23:38
  I
• 23:38
  wanna
• 23:39
  par
• 23:39
  make
• 23:39
  this,
• 23:40
  um,
• 23:41
  make
• 23:41
  it
• 23:41
  parallel
• 23:42
  to
• 23:42
  what
• 23:42
  you're
• 23:42
  doing
• 23:43
  because
• 23:43
  obviously
• 23:44
  with
• 23:44
  Barbara
• 23:44
  Jean
• 23:44
  Productions
• 23:46
  mm-hmm.
• 23:46
  You
• 23:46
  are,
• 23:47
  you
• 23:47
  know,
• 23:47
  doing
• 23:47
  stuff
• 23:48
  and
• 23:48
  building
• 23:48
  stuff
• 23:49
  with
• 23:49
  all
• 23:49
  different
• 23:50
  type
• 23:50
  of
• 23:50
  people,
• 23:51
  right.
• 23:51
  Who
• 23:52
  are
• 23:52
  older,
• 23:53
  younger,
• 23:54
  in
• 23:54
  between.
• 23:55
  Okay.
• 23:55
  And
• 23:56
  have
• 23:56
  those
• 23:56
  different
• 23:57
  type
• 23:57
  of
• 23:57
  mindsets,
• 23:58
  you
• 23:58
  gotta
• 23:58
  be
• 23:58
  able
• 23:59
  to,
• 23:59
  um,
• 24:00
  navigate
• 24:01
  that
• 24:01
  mm-hmm.
• 24:01
  In
• 24:01
  a
• 24:02
  very
• 24:02
  diplomatic
• 24:03
  way
• 24:03
  to
• 24:03
  be
• 24:04
  able
• 24:04
  to
• 24:04
  become
• 24:04
  successful.
• 24:05
  So,
• 24:06
  you
• 24:06
  know,
• 24:06
  one
• 24:07
  of
• 24:07
  the
• 24:07
  things
• 24:07
  is
• 24:07
  when
• 24:08
  I
• 24:08
  was,
• 24:09
  you
• 24:09
  know,
• 24:09
  I've
• 24:09
  been,
• 24:10
  uh,
• 24:10
  um,
• 24:11
  uh,
• 24:11
  uh,
• 24:12
  in,
• 24:12
  in
• 24:12
  leadership
• 24:13
  at
• 24:13
  a
• 24:13
  lot
• 24:14
  of
• 24:14
  places
• 24:14
  I've
• 24:14
  been
• 24:15
  right.
• 24:15
  And
• 24:16
  I've
• 24:16
  always
• 24:16
  struggled
• 24:17
  with
• 24:17
  those
• 24:18
  individuals
• 24:19
  that,
• 24:20
  you
• 24:20
  know,
• 24:20
  would
• 24:20
  come
• 24:20
  in
• 24:21
  and.
• 24:22
  My
• 24:22
  job
• 24:23
  says
• 24:23
  I'm
• 24:23
  doing
• 24:23
  this,
• 24:23
  I'm
• 24:23
  only
• 24:24
  doing
• 24:24
  this,
• 24:24
  or
• 24:25
  I
• 24:25
  only
• 24:25
  wanna
• 24:25
  work
• 24:25
  this
• 24:26
  amount,
• 24:26
  or
• 24:26
  whatever
• 24:26
  the
• 24:26
  case
• 24:27
  may
• 24:27
  be.
• 24:28
  Um,
• 24:28
  because
• 24:28
  I
• 24:28
  come
• 24:29
  from
• 24:29
  an
• 24:29
  older
• 24:30
  mindset,
• 24:30
  an
• 24:31
  older
• 24:31
  generation.
• 24:32
  You
• 24:32
  said
• 24:32
  you
• 24:32
  could
• 24:33
  understand
• 24:33
  because
• 24:34
  you've
• 24:34
  been
• 24:34
  on
• 24:34
  both
• 24:34
  sides.
• 24:35
  Talk
• 24:35
  a
• 24:35
  little
• 24:35
  bit
• 24:35
  about
• 24:35
  that.
• 24:36
  Yeah.
• 24:36
  Um,
• 24:37
  yeah,
• 24:38
  I
• 24:38
  have
• 24:38
  been
• 24:38
  under
• 24:38
  on
• 24:39
  both
• 24:39
  sides
• 24:39
  and
• 24:39
  I
• 24:39
  can't
• 24:39
  understand
• 24:40
  that.
• 24:40
  I
• 24:40
  can't
• 24:40
  empathize
• 24:41
  with.
• 24:42
  Younger
• 24:42
  generation
• 24:43
  because
• 24:43
  I
• 24:44
  think,
• 24:44
  I
• 24:44
  think
• 24:44
  it's,
• 24:44
  it's,
• 24:45
  it's
• 24:45
  important
• 24:45
  to
• 24:45
  start
• 24:45
  here.
• 24:46
  I
• 24:46
  think
• 24:46
  we
• 24:46
  have
• 24:46
  to
• 24:46
  give
• 24:46
  them
• 24:47
  grace,
• 24:47
  right?
• 24:47
  I
• 24:47
  think
• 24:47
  you,
• 24:48
  we
• 24:48
  have
• 24:48
  to
• 24:48
  approach
• 24:48
  this
• 24:49
  from
• 24:49
  a,
• 24:49
  uh,
• 24:50
  an
• 24:50
  approach
• 24:50
  of
• 24:50
  understanding
• 24:51
  and
• 24:51
  empathy,
• 24:52
  uh,
• 24:52
  before
• 24:53
  we
• 24:53
  are
• 24:53
  quick
• 24:54
  to
• 24:54
  judge,
• 24:54
  right?
• 24:55
  Because
• 24:55
  there's
• 24:56
  no
• 24:56
  fault
• 24:56
  of,
• 24:56
  to
• 24:57
  their,
• 24:57
  there's
• 24:57
  no
• 24:57
  fault
• 24:57
  of
• 24:58
  theirs,
• 24:58
  that
• 24:58
  they
• 24:58
  have
• 24:58
  been
• 24:59
  thrust
• 24:59
  into
• 25:00
  this
• 25:00
  society
• 25:00
  that
• 25:01
  is
• 25:02
  insanely
• 25:02
  reliant
• 25:03
  on
• 25:03
  technology
• 25:04
  in
• 25:04
  the
• 25:05
  society.
• 25:05
  That
• 25:05
  where
• 25:06
  information
• 25:06
  is
• 25:06
  at
• 25:06
  their
• 25:06
  fingertips
• 25:07
  and
• 25:07
  there's.
• 25:08
  Are
• 25:08
  ways
• 25:09
  to
• 25:09
  make
• 25:09
  a
• 25:09
  money
• 25:09
  and
• 25:09
  make
• 25:10
  a
• 25:10
  living
• 25:11
  in
• 25:11
  ways
• 25:11
  that
• 25:11
  they
• 25:11
  weren't
• 25:12
  before.
• 25:12
  So
• 25:12
  we
• 25:12
  have
• 25:13
  to
• 25:13
  first
• 25:13
  understand
• 25:13
  that
• 25:14
  these
• 25:14
  younger
• 25:14
  workers,
• 25:15
  well,
• 25:15
  they
• 25:15
  may
• 25:16
  not
• 25:16
  be
• 25:16
  as
• 25:16
  technically
• 25:17
  savvy
• 25:17
  in
• 25:17
  certain
• 25:17
  areas,
• 25:18
  but
• 25:18
  they
• 25:18
  are,
• 25:19
  they
• 25:19
  do
• 25:19
  know
• 25:19
  a
• 25:19
  little
• 25:20
  bit
• 25:20
  more
• 25:20
  about,
• 25:22
  I
• 25:22
  guess
• 25:22
  you
• 25:22
  could
• 25:22
  say,
• 25:22
  no,
• 25:23
  they
• 25:23
  do.
• 25:23
  They
• 25:23
  are
• 25:23
  a
• 25:23
  little
• 25:24
  bit
• 25:24
  more
• 25:24
  comfortable
• 25:24
  speaking
• 25:25
  up
• 25:25
  about
• 25:26
  what
• 25:26
  they
• 25:26
  are
• 25:26
  and
• 25:26
  are
• 25:27
  not
• 25:27
  comfortable
• 25:27
  doing.
• 25:28
  And
• 25:28
  I
• 25:29
  think
• 25:29
  they're
• 25:29
  more
• 25:29
  technically
• 25:30
  savvy.
• 25:31
  Yeah.
• 25:31
  I
• 25:31
  Than
• 25:31
  the
• 25:31
  older
• 25:31
  people.
• 25:32
  Right.
• 25:32
  Yeah,
• 25:32
  I
• 25:32
  would
• 25:32
  agree.
• 25:32
  Just
• 25:32
  to
• 25:32
  be
• 25:33
  fair,
• 25:33
  right?
• 25:33
  Agree.
• 25:33
  Go
• 25:34
  with
• 25:34
  that.
• 25:34
  I
• 25:34
  finish
• 25:34
  your
• 25:34
  thought.
• 25:34
  Yeah,
• 25:35
  I
• 25:35
  would
• 25:35
  agree
• 25:35
  with
• 25:35
  that.
• 25:35
  So
• 25:35
  I
• 25:36
  think
• 25:36
  it's
• 25:36
  important
• 25:36
  to
• 25:36
  just
• 25:37
  to
• 25:37
  just
• 25:37
  lay
• 25:37
  that
• 25:38
  out
• 25:38
  there
• 25:38
  first
• 25:38
  and
• 25:38
  understand
• 25:40
  that
• 25:40
  they
• 25:40
  have
• 25:40
  been,
• 25:41
  they'd
• 25:41
  had
• 25:41
  an
• 25:41
  entirely
• 25:41
  different
• 25:42
  upbringing
• 25:42
  than
• 25:42
  we
• 25:43
  have
• 25:43
  before.
• 25:43
  We
• 25:43
  are
• 25:43
  quick
• 25:44
  to
• 25:44
  judge
• 25:44
  them,
• 25:45
  but
• 25:45
  I
• 25:45
  think
• 25:45
  I
• 25:45
  can
• 25:45
  empathize
• 25:46
  with
• 25:46
  them
• 25:46
  because
• 25:48
  there
• 25:48
  are
• 25:48
  moments
• 25:49
  and
• 25:49
  there
• 25:49
  are
• 25:49
  times
• 25:49
  where
• 25:49
  we
• 25:50
  see
• 25:50
  things
• 25:50
  that
• 25:50
  are
• 25:50
  not
• 25:51
  right.
• 25:51
  We
• 25:51
  know
• 25:51
  that
• 25:51
  they
• 25:52
  shouldn't
• 25:52
  be
• 25:52
  doing
• 25:52
  this.
• 25:52
  We
• 25:52
  know
• 25:53
  that
• 25:53
  they're
• 25:53
  underpaid.
• 25:53
  We
• 25:54
  know
• 25:54
  that
• 25:54
  they're
• 25:54
  overworked.
• 25:55
  We
• 25:55
  know
• 25:55
  that
• 25:55
  they're
• 25:55
  undervalued,
• 25:57
  but.
• 25:58
  So,
• 25:58
  so
• 25:59
  it's
• 25:59
  like
• 25:59
  I
• 25:59
  understand
• 25:59
  that.
• 26:00
  I
• 26:00
  understand
• 26:00
  that.
• 26:01
  So
• 26:02
  that,
• 26:02
  but
• 26:03
  that's
• 26:03
  almost
• 26:03
  as
• 26:03
  far
• 26:04
  as
• 26:04
  it
• 26:04
  goes,
• 26:05
  right?
• 26:05
  It's
• 26:05
  like
• 26:06
  I
• 26:06
  can
• 26:06
  understand
• 26:06
  how
• 26:06
  you
• 26:07
  feel,
• 26:07
  however,
• 26:08
  you
• 26:08
  still
• 26:08
  need
• 26:08
  to
• 26:08
  do,
• 26:09
  however,
• 26:09
  you
• 26:09
  still
• 26:09
  need
• 26:10
  to
• 26:10
  do
• 26:10
  that.
• 26:10
  And
• 26:10
  that
• 26:11
  is
• 26:11
  where
• 26:11
  I
• 26:11
  think
• 26:12
  that
• 26:12
  the,
• 26:13
  my
• 26:13
  father's
• 26:14
  values,
• 26:14
  my
• 26:14
  grandfather,
• 26:15
  sorry.
• 26:15
  That
• 26:16
  is
• 26:16
  where
• 26:16
  I
• 26:16
  think
• 26:16
  my
• 26:17
  father's
• 26:17
  values,
• 26:18
  my
• 26:18
  grandfather's
• 26:18
  values
• 26:20
  have
• 26:20
  been
• 26:20
  instilled
• 26:21
  in
• 26:21
  me.
• 26:21
  And
• 26:21
  those,
• 26:21
  that's
• 26:21
  when
• 26:22
  those
• 26:22
  are
• 26:22
  active
• 26:23
  because
• 26:24
  discipline
• 26:25
  is
• 26:25
  doing
• 26:25
  what
• 26:26
  you
• 26:26
  don't
• 26:26
  wanna
• 26:26
  do.
• 26:28
  But
• 26:28
  do
• 26:28
  it
• 26:28
  like
• 26:28
  you
• 26:28
  love
• 26:29
  it,
• 26:29
  or
• 26:29
  doing
• 26:30
  the
• 26:30
  things
• 26:30
  that
• 26:31
  need
• 26:31
  to
• 26:31
  be
• 26:31
  done
• 26:31
  when
• 26:31
  no
• 26:32
  one's
• 26:32
  watching
• 26:32
  or
• 26:33
  doing
• 26:33
  the
• 26:33
  right
• 26:34
  thing.
• 26:34
  These
• 26:35
  things
• 26:35
  are
• 26:35
  instilled
• 26:35
  in
• 26:36
  me,
• 26:36
  and
• 26:36
  I
• 26:37
  think
• 26:37
  that
• 26:37
  that
• 26:37
  is
• 26:38
  why
• 26:38
  I
• 26:38
  can
• 26:39
  empathize
• 26:39
  and
• 26:39
  understand
• 26:40
  with
• 26:40
  that
• 26:40
  side,
• 26:41
  but
• 26:41
  I'm
• 26:41
  still
• 26:41
  going
• 26:41
  to,
• 26:42
  I'm
• 26:42
  still
• 26:42
  gonna
• 26:42
  go
• 26:42
  this
• 26:43
  way,
• 26:43
  right?
• 26:43
  I'm
• 26:43
  still,
• 26:44
  yes,
• 26:44
  I
• 26:44
  can
• 26:44
  be
• 26:44
  upset.
• 26:45
  Yes,
• 26:45
  I
• 26:45
  can
• 26:45
  and,
• 26:46
  and
• 26:46
  think
• 26:46
  that
• 26:47
  I
• 26:47
  shouldn't
• 26:47
  have
• 26:47
  to
• 26:47
  do
• 26:47
  this
• 26:48
  or
• 26:48
  I
• 26:48
  shouldn't
• 26:48
  be
• 26:48
  doing
• 26:49
  this,
• 26:49
  or
• 26:49
  I'm
• 26:49
  not
• 26:50
  valued,
• 26:50
  but
• 26:51
  I'm
• 26:51
  gonna
• 26:52
  do
• 26:52
  it.
• 26:53
  So,
• 26:53
  to,
• 26:53
  so,
• 26:53
  so
• 26:53
  to
• 26:53
  answer
• 26:54
  your
• 26:54
  question
• 26:55
  succinctly
• 26:56
  is.
• 26:57
  The
• 26:57
  fact
• 26:57
  that
• 26:57
  they've
• 26:57
  been
• 26:57
  exposed
• 26:58
  to
• 26:58
  a
• 26:58
  lot
• 26:58
  of
• 26:58
  things
• 26:58
  and
• 26:58
  I
• 26:59
  have
• 26:59
  as
• 26:59
  well,
• 27:00
  lets,
• 27:00
  allows
• 27:01
  me
• 27:01
  to
• 27:01
  empathize
• 27:01
  with
• 27:02
  them.
• 27:03
  But
• 27:03
  me
• 27:03
  personally,
• 27:04
  I'm
• 27:05
  going
• 27:05
  to
• 27:06
  go
• 27:06
  the
• 27:06
  other.
• 27:07
  Yeah,
• 27:07
  I
• 27:07
  think
• 27:07
  so
• 27:08
  number
• 27:08
  one,
• 27:08
  first
• 27:08
  thing
• 27:09
  you
• 27:09
  said,
• 27:09
  I
• 27:09
  totally
• 27:09
  agree.
• 27:10
  We,
• 27:10
  we
• 27:10
  are
• 27:10
  quick
• 27:10
  to
• 27:10
  judge.
• 27:11
  I
• 27:11
  told
• 27:11
  you
• 27:11
  my
• 27:11
  grandmother,
• 27:12
  you
• 27:12
  guys
• 27:12
  soft,
• 27:14
  right?
• 27:14
  Mm-hmm.
• 27:14
  And
• 27:15
  that
• 27:15
  was
• 27:15
  years
• 27:16
  ago.
• 27:16
  Okay?
• 27:16
  And
• 27:17
  we
• 27:17
  quick
• 27:17
  to
• 27:17
  always
• 27:18
  think
• 27:18
  our
• 27:18
  generation
• 27:19
  is
• 27:19
  better
• 27:19
  than
• 27:20
  the
• 27:20
  rest.
• 27:20
  Okay?
• 27:21
  So
• 27:21
  that's
• 27:22
  human
• 27:22
  nature
• 27:22
  and
• 27:22
  always
• 27:23
  will
• 27:23
  be
• 27:23
  there.
• 27:24
  Um,
• 27:24
  the
• 27:25
  thing
• 27:25
  is,
• 27:25
  is
• 27:25
  this,
• 27:26
  is
• 27:26
  that,
• 27:27
  you
• 27:27
  know,
• 27:27
  we
• 27:28
  have
• 27:28
  to
• 27:28
  be
• 27:28
  willing,
• 27:29
  so
• 27:29
  let
• 27:30
  me,
• 27:30
  let's
• 27:30
  just
• 27:30
  lemme
• 27:30
  say
• 27:31
  it
• 27:31
  this
• 27:31
  way,
• 27:32
  you
• 27:33
  know,
• 27:33
  progress
• 27:34
  is
• 27:34
  always,
• 27:35
  in
• 27:35
  other
• 27:35
  words,
• 27:36
  pushing
• 27:36
  the
• 27:36
  envelope
• 27:37
  is
• 27:37
  always
• 27:38
  by
• 27:39
  newer,
• 27:40
  the
• 27:40
  generation,
• 27:41
  the
• 27:41
  younger
• 27:41
  generation.
• 27:42
  Okay.
• 27:43
  And
• 27:43
  that's
• 27:44
  important.
• 27:44
  It's
• 27:44
  no
• 27:44
  different.
• 27:45
  When
• 27:45
  we
• 27:46
  went
• 27:46
  from
• 27:47
  the
• 27:47
  fifties
• 27:48
  to
• 27:49
  the
• 27:49
  sixties,
• 27:50
  okay,
• 27:51
  where
• 27:52
  the
• 27:52
  fifties
• 27:53
  mentality
• 27:53
  was,
• 27:54
  you
• 27:54
  know,
• 27:54
  God,
• 27:55
  country
• 27:56
  and
• 27:56
  whatever.
• 27:56
  Somebody
• 27:56
  do
• 27:57
  you
• 27:57
  do,
• 27:58
  and
• 27:58
  you
• 27:58
  wear
• 27:58
  your
• 27:58
  hair
• 27:59
  this
• 27:59
  way,
• 27:59
  and
• 27:59
  you
• 27:59
  walk
• 28:00
  this
• 28:00
  way
• 28:00
  and
• 28:00
  you
• 28:00
  say
• 28:01
  this.
• 28:01
  To
• 28:02
  the
• 28:02
  sixties
• 28:02
  where
• 28:02
  they
• 28:03
  were
• 28:03
  like,
• 28:03
  forget
• 28:03
  that
• 28:04
  I'm
• 28:04
  gonna
• 28:04
  wear
• 28:04
  my
• 28:04
  hair
• 28:05
  long.
• 28:06
  I'm
• 28:06
  gonna
• 28:06
  do
• 28:06
  this.
• 28:07
  I'm
• 28:07
  pushing
• 28:07
  back
• 28:07
  on
• 28:07
  authority
• 28:08
  on
• 28:09
  our
• 28:09
  yard.
• 28:09
  That's
• 28:09
  always
• 28:10
  been
• 28:10
  the
• 28:10
  case.
• 28:10
  Mm-hmm.
• 28:11
  And
• 28:11
  when
• 28:11
  we
• 28:11
  look
• 28:11
  back
• 28:12
  at
• 28:12
  now
• 28:12
  when
• 28:13
  that
• 28:13
  was
• 28:13
  happening,
• 28:13
  they're
• 28:13
  like,
• 28:14
  they're,
• 28:14
  they're
• 28:14
  insane.
• 28:15
  They're,
• 28:16
  they're
• 28:16
  undisciplined,
• 28:17
  they're,
• 28:17
  they
• 28:18
  lost
• 28:18
  their
• 28:18
  mind.
• 28:19
  Right.
• 28:19
  But
• 28:19
  then
• 28:19
  when
• 28:19
  we
• 28:19
  look
• 28:20
  back,
• 28:20
  no.
• 28:21
  'cause
• 28:21
  they
• 28:22
  pushed
• 28:22
  us
• 28:22
  ahead.
• 28:23
  They
• 28:24
  were
• 28:24
  seeing
• 28:24
  things
• 28:25
  that
• 28:25
  we
• 28:25
  didn't
• 28:26
  see.
• 28:26
  Because
• 28:27
  remember
• 28:27
  it
• 28:27
  is
• 28:27
  an
• 28:27
  old
• 28:28
  saying,
• 28:28
  pigs
• 28:28
  don't
• 28:28
  know
• 28:28
  pig
• 28:29
  stink.
• 28:30
  Right?
• 28:30
  When
• 28:30
  you're
• 28:30
  in
• 28:30
  the
• 28:30
  Pigpen,
• 28:31
  everything
• 28:31
  is
• 28:32
  normal.
• 28:32
  They
• 28:32
  didn't,
• 28:32
  when
• 28:32
  you
• 28:33
  get
• 28:33
  out
• 28:33
  the
• 28:33
  Pigpen,
• 28:34
  first
• 28:34
  thing
• 28:34
  you
• 28:34
  say
• 28:35
  is,
• 28:35
  that's
• 28:35
  funky
• 28:35
  smell,
• 28:35
  right?
• 28:36
  Mm-hmm.
• 28:36
  So
• 28:37
  the
• 28:37
  bottom
• 28:37
  line
• 28:37
  is,
• 28:37
  I'm
• 28:37
  all
• 28:38
  for,
• 28:38
  I
• 28:38
  get
• 28:38
  that.
• 28:39
  Mm-hmm.
• 28:39
  Right?
• 28:40
  The
• 28:40
  challenge
• 28:41
  is,
• 28:41
  is
• 28:41
  that,
• 28:42
  and
• 28:42
  I
• 28:42
  wanna
• 28:42
  ask
• 28:42
  you
• 28:42
  this
• 28:42
  question,
• 28:43
  being
• 28:44
  30
• 28:46
  being
• 28:46
  you're
• 28:46
  saying,
• 28:47
  Hey
• 28:47
  man,
• 28:47
  I
• 28:47
  see
• 28:48
  both
• 28:48
  sides.
• 28:49
  Mm-hmm.
• 28:49
  Okay.
• 28:51
  Here's
• 28:51
  the
• 28:51
  thing
• 28:51
  though.
• 28:52
  Is
• 28:52
  that,
• 28:53
  talk
• 28:53
  a
• 28:53
  little
• 28:54
  bit
• 28:54
  of
• 28:55
  why
• 28:55
  you
• 28:55
  see
• 28:55
  both
• 28:56
  sides.
• 28:57
  Okay.
• 28:58
  And
• 28:58
  then
• 28:59
  one
• 28:59
  of
• 28:59
  the
• 28:59
  things
• 28:59
  that
• 29:00
  you
• 29:00
  chatted
• 29:00
  about
• 29:00
  me
• 29:01
  and
• 29:01
  you
• 29:01
  talked
• 29:01
  a
• 29:01
  couple
• 29:01
  weeks
• 29:02
  ago
• 29:02
  and
• 29:03
  you
• 29:03
  said
• 29:03
  about
• 29:03
  how
• 29:04
  adaptable
• 29:05
  you.
• 29:05
  Mm-hmm.
• 29:06
  Right?
• 29:06
  So
• 29:06
  speak
• 29:07
  a
• 29:07
  little
• 29:07
  bit,
• 29:07
  when
• 29:07
  you
• 29:07
  say
• 29:08
  adaptable,
• 29:08
  what
• 29:08
  does
• 29:09
  that
• 29:09
  mean?
• 29:09
  Mm-hmm.
• 29:10
  And
• 29:10
  then
• 29:10
  more
• 29:11
  importantly,
• 29:11
  how
• 29:12
  can
• 29:12
  we
• 29:12
  bridge
• 29:13
  this
• 29:14
  us
• 29:14
  versus
• 29:15
  them
• 29:15
  in
• 29:15
  the
• 29:15
  workforce?
• 29:16
  And
• 29:16
  look
• 29:17
  at.
• 29:17
  The
• 29:18
  strengths
• 29:18
  that
• 29:18
  each
• 29:19
  generation
• 29:20
  brings
• 29:20
  and
• 29:20
  really
• 29:20
  try
• 29:21
  to,
• 29:21
  uh,
• 29:21
  lean
• 29:22
  on
• 29:22
  those
• 29:22
  strengths.
• 29:23
  Yeah.
• 29:23
  Yeah.
• 29:24
  So
• 29:24
  to
• 29:24
  answer
• 29:24
  the
• 29:24
  first
• 29:24
  question,
• 29:25
  uh,
• 29:25
  again,
• 29:26
  um,
• 29:26
  how
• 29:26
  I
• 29:27
  can
• 29:27
  see
• 29:27
  both
• 29:27
  sides,
• 29:27
  and
• 29:27
  I
• 29:27
  think
• 29:28
  it
• 29:28
  really
• 29:28
  just
• 29:28
  comes
• 29:28
  down
• 29:29
  to
• 29:29
  me
• 29:29
  being
• 29:29
  exposed
• 29:30
  to
• 29:30
  both.
• 29:30
  Right?
• 29:31
  When
• 29:31
  I
• 29:31
  first
• 29:31
  graduated,
• 29:32
  uh,
• 29:32
  college,
• 29:33
  I
• 29:33
  was
• 29:33
  working
• 29:33
  for
• 29:33
  the
• 29:34
  United
• 29:34
  States
• 29:34
  Department
• 29:34
  of
• 29:35
  Justice,
• 29:35
  particularly
• 29:36
  the
• 29:36
  United
• 29:36
  States
• 29:36
  Marshals.
• 29:37
  So
• 29:37
  I
• 29:38
  was
• 29:38
  very
• 29:38
  much
• 29:38
  working
• 29:38
  in
• 29:38
  an
• 29:38
  environment
• 29:39
  that
• 29:40
  was,
• 29:41
  people
• 29:41
  were
• 29:41
  older
• 29:41
  than
• 29:42
  me.
• 29:42
  I
• 29:42
  was
• 29:42
  the
• 29:42
  only
• 29:43
  young
• 29:43
  person
• 29:44
  in
• 29:44
  the
• 29:44
  building.
• 29:44
  I
• 29:44
  was
• 29:44
  23
• 29:45
  years
• 29:45
  old.
• 29:46
  The
• 29:46
  next
• 29:46
  person
• 29:46
  closest
• 29:47
  to
• 29:47
  my
• 29:47
  age
• 29:47
  was
• 29:47
  probably
• 29:48
  seven
• 29:48
  years
• 29:49
  older
• 29:49
  than
• 29:49
  me,
• 29:49
  was
• 29:49
  probably
• 29:50
  around
• 29:50
  the
• 29:50
  age
• 29:50
  that
• 29:51
  I
• 29:51
  am
• 29:51
  now.
• 29:51
  So
• 29:53
  being
• 29:53
  thrusted,
• 29:53
  being
• 29:54
  raised
• 29:54
  with
• 29:54
  parents
• 29:55
  like
• 29:55
  that
• 29:55
  and
• 29:55
  being
• 29:55
  thrust
• 29:56
  into
• 29:56
  that
• 29:56
  environment
• 29:57
  after
• 29:57
  straight
• 29:57
  after
• 29:58
  college,
• 29:58
  taught
• 29:58
  me
• 29:58
  one
• 29:59
  way,
• 29:59
  taught
• 29:59
  me,
• 29:59
  Hey,
• 29:59
  like
• 30:00
  you
• 30:00
  are
• 30:00
  working
• 30:00
  with,
• 30:01
  uh,
• 30:01
  with
• 30:01
  police
• 30:01
  officers,
• 30:02
  federal
• 30:02
  police
• 30:02
  officers
• 30:03
  at
• 30:03
  that
• 30:04
  who
• 30:04
  are
• 30:04
  gonna
• 30:04
  need
• 30:04
  to
• 30:05
  do,
• 30:05
  are
• 30:05
  gonna
• 30:05
  do
• 30:05
  what
• 30:05
  needs
• 30:06
  to
• 30:06
  be
• 30:06
  done
• 30:06
  point
• 30:06
  blank
• 30:06
  period.
• 30:07
  Because
• 30:07
  they
• 30:07
  are
• 30:07
  the
• 30:07
  only
• 30:08
  ones
• 30:08
  who
• 30:08
  are
• 30:08
  gonna
• 30:08
  do
• 30:08
  the
• 30:08
  job.
• 30:09
  So
• 30:09
  that's
• 30:09
  how
• 30:09
  they
• 30:09
  approach
• 30:10
  everything
• 30:10
  that
• 30:10
  they
• 30:10
  do.
• 30:11
  That's
• 30:11
  what
• 30:11
  I
• 30:11
  was
• 30:12
  first
• 30:12
  exposed
• 30:12
  to.
• 30:13
  Um,
• 30:13
  and
• 30:13
  then
• 30:13
  after
• 30:14
  that,
• 30:14
  you
• 30:14
  know,
• 30:15
  going
• 30:15
  to
• 30:16
  a
• 30:16
  little
• 30:17
  bit
• 30:17
  more
• 30:17
  elusive
• 30:17
  in
• 30:17
  environment,
• 30:18
  right?
• 30:18
  The,
• 30:19

• 30:19
  entertainment
• 30:19
  industry.
• 30:20
  I'ma
• 30:20
  got
• 30:21
  a
• 30:21
  chance
• 30:21
  to
• 30:21
  see
• 30:22
  why
• 30:22
  other
• 30:23
  pe
• 30:23
  I
• 30:23
  got
• 30:23
  a
• 30:23
  chance
• 30:23
  to
• 30:23
  see
• 30:23
  how
• 30:24
  the
• 30:24
  other
• 30:24
  generation
• 30:24
  was
• 30:25
  acting
• 30:25
  or
• 30:25
  the
• 30:25
  people
• 30:25
  who
• 30:26
  younger
• 30:26
  than
• 30:26
  me,
• 30:26
  the
• 30:26
  acting.
• 30:27
  And
• 30:27
  I
• 30:27
  got
• 30:27
  to
• 30:27
  a
• 30:27
  chance
• 30:27
  to
• 30:27
  be
• 30:28
  in
• 30:28
  those
• 30:28
  outside
• 30:29
  of
• 30:29
  the
• 30:29
  conference
• 30:29
  room
• 30:30
  at
• 30:30
  the
• 30:30
  lunch
• 30:30
  table
• 30:31
  and
• 30:31
  hear
• 30:31
  their
• 30:31
  reasonings
• 30:32
  behind
• 30:32
  why
• 30:32
  they
• 30:32
  felt
• 30:33
  the
• 30:33
  way
• 30:33
  that
• 30:33
  they
• 30:33
  felt
• 30:34
  and
• 30:34
  get
• 30:34
  their
• 30:35
  side
• 30:35
  of
• 30:35
  the,
• 30:35
  the,
• 30:36
  the,
• 30:36
  the
• 30:36
  ver
• 30:36
  the
• 30:37
  equation.
• 30:37
  But
• 30:37
  you
• 30:37
  just
• 30:38
  said
• 30:38
  something
• 30:38
  that's
• 30:38
  key.
• 30:39
  What's
• 30:39
  that?
• 30:40
  Repeat
• 30:40
  what
• 30:40
  you
• 30:41
  just
• 30:41
  got.
• 30:41
  Finish
• 30:41
  saying,
• 30:42
  you
• 30:42
  said
• 30:42
  you
• 30:42
  were
• 30:42
  able
• 30:42
  to
• 30:43
  listen
• 30:44
  Yeah.
• 30:45
  To
• 30:45
  what?
• 30:45
  Their
• 30:46
  point
• 30:46
  of
• 30:46
  view.
• 30:46
  Mm-hmm.
• 30:47
  Yes.
• 30:47
  Right.
• 30:47
  I
• 30:47
  was
• 30:47
  able
• 30:47
  to
• 30:48
  listen
• 30:48
  objectively
• 30:49
  because
• 30:50
  I'm
• 30:50
  not
• 30:50
  their
• 30:50
  manager.
• 30:51
  I'm
• 30:51
  not
• 30:51
  their
• 30:51
  leader.
• 30:51
  I,
• 30:52
  you
• 30:52
  know,
• 30:52
  I'm
• 30:52
  not
• 30:52
  necessarily
• 30:53
  their
• 30:53
  peer
• 30:54
  either.
• 30:54
  I'm
• 30:55
  just
• 30:55
  a
• 30:55
  little
• 30:55
  bit
• 30:56
  older
• 30:56
  and
• 30:56
  maybe
• 30:56
  one
• 30:56
  position
• 30:57
  higher
• 30:57
  than
• 30:57
  them.
• 30:57
  So,
• 30:58
  um,
• 30:58
  I,
• 30:58
  I,
• 30:59
  I,
• 30:59
  I,
• 30:59
  I
• 30:59
  listen
• 31:00
  from
• 31:00
  a
• 31:00
  source
• 31:01
  of
• 31:01
  curiosity,
• 31:02
  like
• 31:02
  I
• 31:02
  said,
• 31:03
  and
• 31:03
  that,
• 31:03
  that
• 31:03
  allowed
• 31:04
  me
• 31:04
  to
• 31:04
  empathize
• 31:04
  and
• 31:05
  understand
• 31:05
  with
• 31:05
  them,
• 31:05
  because
• 31:06
  if
• 31:06
  you
• 31:06
  listen.
• 31:07
  What
• 31:07
  they're
• 31:07
  asking
• 31:08
  for
• 31:08
  is
• 31:08
  not
• 31:09
  insane.
• 31:10
  They're
• 31:10
  asking
• 31:10
  for
• 31:10
  maybe
• 31:10
  to
• 31:11
  be
• 31:11
  respected,
• 31:12
  maybe
• 31:12
  to
• 31:12
  not
• 31:13
  be
• 31:13
  name
• 31:13
  called,
• 31:14
  maybe
• 31:14
  to
• 31:14
  not
• 31:15
  be
• 31:15
  contacted
• 31:15
  after
• 31:16
  work
• 31:16
  hours,
• 31:17
  maybe
• 31:17
  to
• 31:18
  um,
• 31:19
  maybe
• 31:20
  to
• 31:20
  have
• 31:20
  constructive
• 31:21
  criticism.
• 31:22
  So
• 31:22
  a
• 31:22
  lot
• 31:22
  of
• 31:22
  the
• 31:22
  things
• 31:23
  that
• 31:23
  they're
• 31:23
  asking
• 31:23
  for
• 31:23
  are
• 31:23
  not
• 31:24
  outside
• 31:24
  of
• 31:24
  the
• 31:24
  realm
• 31:24
  of
• 31:25
  possibility
• 31:25
  or
• 31:25
  not
• 31:26
  insane.
• 31:27
  And
• 31:27
  to
• 31:27
  answer
• 31:27
  your
• 31:27
  second
• 31:28
  question,
• 31:28
  um,
• 31:29
  the
• 31:29
  second
• 31:29
  question
• 31:30
  was,
• 31:31
  so
• 31:31
  you
• 31:31
  being
• 31:31
  adaptable,
• 31:32
  right?
• 31:33
  And
• 31:34
  and
• 31:34
  me
• 31:34
  being
• 31:34
  adaptable.
• 31:35
  I
• 31:35
  think
• 31:35
  that
• 31:35
  comes
• 31:36
  from
• 31:36
  straight
• 31:36
  up
• 31:36
  how
• 31:37
  I
• 31:37
  was
• 31:37
  raised
• 31:37
  and
• 31:37
  me
• 31:37
  just
• 31:38
  the
• 31:38
  time
• 31:38
  I
• 31:39
  think
• 31:39
  I
• 31:39
  was
• 31:39
  at
• 31:39
  the
• 31:39
  tail
• 31:40
  end
• 31:41
  of
• 31:41
  the
• 31:41
  millennial
• 31:41
  generation
• 31:42
  where
• 31:42
  I
• 31:42
  was
• 31:42
  exposed
• 31:43
  to
• 31:43
  a
• 31:43
  world
• 31:43
  that
• 31:44
  internet
• 31:44
  was,
• 31:45
  yeah,
• 31:45
  you
• 31:46
  better
• 31:46
  go
• 31:46
  home
• 31:46
  and
• 31:46
  use
• 31:46
  Dialup
• 31:48
  to,
• 31:48
  I
• 31:49
  can
• 31:49
  pull
• 31:49
  it
• 31:49
  out
• 31:49
  on
• 31:49
  my
• 31:49
  phone
• 31:50
  in
• 31:50
  my
• 31:50
  college
• 31:50
  class
• 31:51
  and
• 31:51
  Google
• 31:51
  something.
• 31:52
  Right?
• 31:52
  So
• 31:52
  I
• 31:52
  very
• 31:52
  much
• 31:53
  had
• 31:53
  to
• 31:53
  exist
• 31:54
  in
• 31:54
  both
• 31:54
  worlds
• 31:54
  where.
• 31:55
  The
• 31:56
  internet
• 31:56
  is
• 31:56
  a
• 31:57
  thing
• 31:57
  is,
• 31:57
  doesn't
• 31:58
  really
• 31:58
  exist
• 31:58
  yet,
• 31:58
  and
• 31:59
  I
• 31:59
  ended
• 31:59
  up
• 31:59
  existed
• 32:00
  in
• 32:00
  a
• 32:00
  world
• 32:01
  where
• 32:01
  the
• 32:01
  internet
• 32:02
  is
• 32:02
  everything,
• 32:03
  but,
• 32:03
  and
• 32:03
  you
• 32:03
  did
• 32:04
  too.
• 32:04
  But
• 32:04
  I
• 32:05
  think
• 32:05
  what's
• 32:05
  important
• 32:05
  from
• 32:06
  what
• 32:07
  makes
• 32:07
  my
• 32:07
  perspective
• 32:07
  unique
• 32:08
  is
• 32:08
  the
• 32:08
  timeframe
• 32:09
  and
• 32:09
  how
• 32:09
  old
• 32:09
  I
• 32:09
  was
• 32:10
  going
• 32:10
  through
• 32:11
  these
• 32:11
  transitions
• 32:12
  because
• 32:12
  I
• 32:12
  had
• 32:12
  to
• 32:12
  go
• 32:13
  throughout
• 32:13
  high
• 32:13
  school
• 32:14
  in
• 32:14
  most
• 32:14
  of
• 32:14
  college
• 32:15
  and
• 32:16
  all
• 32:16
  of
• 32:16
  my
• 32:16
  first
• 32:17
  jobs,
• 32:17
  they're,
• 32:18
  I
• 32:18
  mean,
• 32:18
  yeah,
• 32:18
  we
• 32:18
  had
• 32:19
  phones,
• 32:19
  but
• 32:19
  I
• 32:19
  mean,
• 32:19
  they
• 32:19
  were
• 32:20
  not
• 32:20
  used
• 32:20
  in
• 32:20
  the
• 32:20
  way
• 32:20
  that
• 32:21
  they
• 32:21
  were
• 32:21
  today.
• 32:21
  They
• 32:22
  were
• 32:22
  used
• 32:22
  for
• 32:22
  phone
• 32:22
  calls
• 32:23
  and
• 32:23
  maybe
• 32:23
  texts.
• 32:24
  The
• 32:24
  texts
• 32:25
  then
• 32:25
  were
• 32:25
  two
• 32:25
  or
• 32:25
  three
• 32:25
  words.
• 32:26
  You
• 32:26
  know,
• 32:27
  we
• 32:27
  weren't
• 32:27
  texting
• 32:27
  for
• 32:27
  conversation
• 32:28
  and
• 32:28
  we
• 32:28
  were
• 32:28
  texting
• 32:28
  for
• 32:29
  emergency
• 32:30
  almost
• 32:30
  really.
• 32:31
  So
• 32:31
  I
• 32:31
  had
• 32:31
  to
• 32:32
  grow
• 32:33
  up
• 32:33
  in
• 32:33
  a
• 32:33
  world
• 32:33
  where
• 32:34
  you
• 32:35
  don't
• 32:35
  have
• 32:35
  your
• 32:35
  phone
• 32:35
  to
• 32:35
  escape
• 32:36
  to
• 32:36
  when
• 32:36
  you
• 32:36
  don't
• 32:37
  want
• 32:37
  to
• 32:37
  pay
• 32:37
  attention.
• 32:38
  You
• 32:38
  don't
• 32:38
  have
• 32:38
  your
• 32:38
  phone
• 32:38
  to
• 32:38
  pull
• 32:39
  out
• 32:39
  when
• 32:39
  you
• 32:39
  want
• 32:39
  to
• 32:39
  Google
• 32:40
  and
• 32:40
  answer.
• 32:40
  You
• 32:40
  don't
• 32:40
  have
• 32:40
  chat
• 32:41
  GBT,
• 32:41
  you
• 32:41
  don't
• 32:41
  have
• 32:42
  any
• 32:42
  of
• 32:42
  these
• 32:42
  things.
• 32:42
  You
• 32:43
  have
• 32:43
  to
• 32:43
  go
• 32:43
  to
• 32:43
  the
• 32:43
  actual
• 32:44
  library
• 32:44
  or
• 32:44
  you,
• 32:45
  I
• 32:45
  didn't
• 32:45
  have
• 32:45
  a
• 32:45
  laptop.
• 32:46
  So
• 32:47
  I
• 32:48
  understand
• 32:48
  the
• 32:48
  older
• 32:49
  generation,
• 32:49
  and
• 32:49
  I
• 32:49
  understand
• 32:50
  the
• 32:50
  youngers
• 32:50
  because.
• 32:51
  I,
• 32:52
  I
• 32:52
  had,
• 32:52
  I
• 32:52
  was
• 32:52
  able
• 32:52
  to
• 32:53
  do
• 32:53
  both,
• 32:53
  right?
• 32:54
  So
• 32:54
  that's,
• 32:54
  I
• 32:54
  think
• 32:55
  what
• 32:55
  makes
• 32:55
  me
• 32:55
  really,
• 32:56
  really
• 32:56
  adaptable.
• 32:57
  Um,
• 32:57
  and,
• 32:58
  and
• 32:58
  also
• 32:58
  just
• 32:59
  how
• 32:59
  I
• 32:59
  was
• 32:59
  raised.
• 33:00
  You
• 33:00
  know,
• 33:00
  I,
• 33:00
  I
• 33:00
  was
• 33:00
  raised
• 33:01
  in
• 33:01
  a
• 33:01
  household
• 33:01
  where
• 33:01
  there
• 33:01
  is
• 33:01
  no
• 33:02
  excuses.
• 33:02
  This
• 33:02
  is
• 33:03
  no
• 33:03
  hold
• 33:03
  bar.
• 33:03
  Like,
• 33:03
  I
• 33:04
  don't
• 33:04
  care
• 33:04
  how
• 33:04
  you
• 33:05
  feel.
• 33:06
  You're
• 33:06
  going
• 33:06
  to
• 33:06
  school,
• 33:07
  you're
• 33:07
  going
• 33:07
  to
• 33:07
  get
• 33:07
  your
• 33:07
  work
• 33:07
  done,
• 33:08
  you're
• 33:08
  going
• 33:08
  to
• 33:08
  do
• 33:08
  this
• 33:09
  point
• 33:09
  blank
• 33:09
  period,
• 33:10
  full
• 33:10
  stop,
• 33:10
  because
• 33:10
  I
• 33:10
  said
• 33:11
  so.
• 33:11
  Right?
• 33:12
  That's
• 33:12
  how
• 33:12
  I
• 33:12
  was
• 33:12
  raised.
• 33:13
  Um,
• 33:13
  so
• 33:13
  that's
• 33:14
  what
• 33:14
  I
• 33:14
  really
• 33:14
  think
• 33:14
  makes
• 33:15
  me
• 33:15
  adaptable
• 33:16
  and,
• 33:16
  um.
• 33:17
  Secondly,
• 33:18
  working
• 33:18
  in
• 33:18
  a
• 33:18
  variety
• 33:18
  of
• 33:18
  different
• 33:19
  industries.
• 33:19
  I've
• 33:19
  sold
• 33:20
  cars
• 33:20
  for
• 33:20
  CarMax
• 33:21
  for
• 33:21
  years.
• 33:21
  I've
• 33:21
  worked
• 33:22
  in
• 33:22
  retail,
• 33:22
  I've
• 33:22
  worked
• 33:23
  for
• 33:23
  Nordstrom,
• 33:24
  I've
• 33:24
  worked
• 33:24
  for
• 33:24
  Yelp.
• 33:25
  I
• 33:25
  have
• 33:25
  sold
• 33:25
  solar
• 33:26
  panels.
• 33:26
  I
• 33:27
  have
• 33:27
  lead
• 33:27
  productions,
• 33:28
  uh,
• 33:28
  for
• 33:28
  moose,
• 33:28
  short
• 33:29
  films,
• 33:29
  commercials,
• 33:30
  branded,
• 33:30
  uh,
• 33:31
  content.
• 33:32
  I
• 33:32
  have
• 33:32
  done
• 33:32
  a
• 33:32
  lot
• 33:33
  of
• 33:33
  different
• 33:33
  things,
• 33:34
  so
• 33:34
  I
• 33:34
  think
• 33:34
  that
• 33:35
  is,
• 33:35
  that's
• 33:35
  also
• 33:35
  what
• 33:35
  allows
• 33:36
  me
• 33:36
  to
• 33:36
  go
• 33:36
  in
• 33:36
  any
• 33:36
  environment
• 33:37
  and
• 33:37
  listen
• 33:38
  more.
• 33:39
  Talk
• 33:40
  second.
• 33:41
  Always
• 33:41
  create
• 33:41
  value
• 33:42
  in
• 33:42
  it.
• 33:43
  What
• 33:43
  do
• 33:43
  you
• 33:43
  think
• 33:43
  holds
• 33:44
  people
• 33:44
  back
• 33:44
  from
• 33:45
  moving
• 33:45
  forward
• 33:45
  when
• 33:46
  it
• 33:46
  comes
• 33:46
  to
• 33:46
  this
• 33:46
  conversation,
• 33:47
  this
• 33:47
  issue,
• 33:48
  because
• 33:48
  again,
• 33:49
  we
• 33:49
  have
• 33:49
  these
• 33:49
  multiple
• 33:50
  generations
• 33:51
  in
• 33:51
  the
• 33:51
  workforce.
• 33:52
  They,
• 33:52
  they
• 33:53
  all
• 33:54
  individuals
• 33:54
  bring
• 33:55
  a
• 33:55
  certain
• 33:55
  level
• 33:56
  of
• 33:56
  talent,
• 33:57
  certain
• 33:57
  level
• 33:57
  of
• 33:58
  intellect.
• 33:58
  It's,
• 33:59
  you
• 33:59
  know,
• 33:59
  again,
• 34:00
  you
• 34:00
  know.
• 34:01
  You
• 34:01
  know,
• 34:01
  from
• 34:02
  a
• 34:02
  baby
• 34:02
  boom
• 34:02
  where
• 34:02
  I
• 34:02
  could
• 34:03
  say,
• 34:03
  this
• 34:03
  is
• 34:03
  the
• 34:03
  way
• 34:03
  to
• 34:03
  do
• 34:04
  it,
• 34:04
  right?
• 34:04
  Mm-hmm.
• 34:05
  And
• 34:05
  then
• 34:05
  from
• 34:05
  a
• 34:05
  millennial
• 34:06
  or
• 34:06
  Gen
• 34:06
  Z,
• 34:06
  they
• 34:06
  could
• 34:07
  say,
• 34:07
  well,
• 34:07
  wait
• 34:07
  a
• 34:07
  minute.
• 34:07
  This
• 34:07
  is
• 34:07
  the
• 34:08
  way
• 34:08
  to
• 34:08
  do
• 34:08
  it.
• 34:08
  And
• 34:09
  two
• 34:09
  things
• 34:09
  can
• 34:09
  be
• 34:09
  right
• 34:10
  at
• 34:10
  the
• 34:10
  same
• 34:10
  time.
• 34:11
  So
• 34:11
  what
• 34:11
  do
• 34:11
  you
• 34:11
  think
• 34:12
  holds
• 34:12
  people
• 34:13
  back
• 34:14
  from
• 34:14
  being
• 34:14
  able
• 34:14
  to
• 34:15
  be
• 34:15
  open
• 34:16
  and
• 34:16
  learn
• 34:16
  from
• 34:17
  this
• 34:17
  and
• 34:17
  be
• 34:17
  successful
• 34:18
  and
• 34:18
  move
• 34:18
  forward?
• 34:19
  You
• 34:19
  know,
• 34:19
  that's
• 34:19
  a
• 34:19
  really
• 34:19
  good
• 34:20
  question.
• 34:20
  Um,
• 34:20
  and
• 34:21
  I
• 34:21
  think
• 34:21
  that
• 34:21
  the
• 34:21
  answer
• 34:22
  really
• 34:22
  comes
• 34:22
  down
• 34:22
  to,
• 34:22
  well,
• 34:23
  what
• 34:23
  do
• 34:23
  you
• 34:24
  in
• 34:24
  that.
• 34:25
  Once
• 34:26
  you
• 34:26
  answer
• 34:26
  that,
• 34:27
  then
• 34:27
  I
• 34:27
  think
• 34:27
  the,
• 34:27
  then
• 34:28
  I
• 34:28
  think
• 34:28
  you
• 34:28
  can
• 34:28
  really
• 34:29
  answer
• 34:29
  the
• 34:29
  question.
• 34:29
  Because
• 34:30
  if
• 34:30
  the
• 34:30
  answer
• 34:30
  is,
• 34:31
  say,
• 34:31
  you
• 34:31
  say
• 34:31
  you're
• 34:31
  working,
• 34:32
  um,
• 34:32
  in
• 34:33
  a
• 34:33
  service
• 34:33
  industry
• 34:33
  job,
• 34:34
  say
• 34:34
  you're
• 34:34
  a
• 34:34
  barista
• 34:35
  or
• 34:35
  a
• 34:35
  bartender
• 34:36
  or
• 34:36
  waiter
• 34:36
  or
• 34:36
  what
• 34:36
  have
• 34:37
  you,
• 34:37
  and
• 34:37
  you're
• 34:37
  frustrated
• 34:38
  with
• 34:38
  what's
• 34:38
  going
• 34:38
  on,
• 34:39
  before
• 34:40
  I
• 34:40
  can
• 34:40
  give
• 34:40
  you
• 34:40
  any
• 34:40
  advice,
• 34:41
  before
• 34:41
  I
• 34:41
  can
• 34:41
  say
• 34:42
  what
• 34:42
  the
• 34:42
  next
• 34:42
  best
• 34:43
  step
• 34:43
  is,
• 34:43
  is
• 34:43
  you
• 34:43
  have
• 34:43
  to
• 34:44
  answer
• 34:44
  the
• 34:44
  question,
• 34:44
  what
• 34:45
  do
• 34:45
  you
• 34:45
  want?
• 34:46
  Because
• 34:46
  if
• 34:46
  it,
• 34:47
  the
• 34:47
  answer
• 34:47
  is
• 34:47
  just,
• 34:47
  Hey,
• 34:47
  I
• 34:48
  wanna
• 34:48
  pay
• 34:48
  my
• 34:48
  bills
• 34:49
  and
• 34:49
  I
• 34:49
  just
• 34:49
  wanna
• 34:49
  make

• 34:55
  That's
• 34:55
  the
• 34:55
  answer,

• 34:57
  to
• 34:57
  do
• 34:58
  some
• 34:58
  things
• 34:58
  that
• 34:58
  you
• 34:58
  don't
• 34:58
  want.
• 34:59
  But
• 34:59
  if
• 34:59
  the
• 34:59
  answer
• 35:00
  is,
• 35:00
  Hey,
• 35:00
  I'm
• 35:00
  just
• 35:00
  here
• 35:01
  until
• 35:01
  I
• 35:01
  can
• 35:01
  save
• 35:01
  enough
• 35:01
  money
• 35:02
  to
• 35:02
  do
• 35:02
  A
• 35:02
  or
• 35:03
  B,
• 35:03
  or
• 35:03
  C
• 35:03
  or
• 35:03
  D,
• 35:04
  then
• 35:04
  I'm
• 35:04
  gonna
• 35:04
  have
• 35:05
  a
• 35:05
  different
• 35:05
  piece
• 35:05
  of
• 35:05
  advice
• 35:06
  for
• 35:06
  you.
• 35:06
  You
• 35:06
  know?
• 35:07
  So
• 35:07
  that
• 35:08
  is
• 35:08
  really
• 35:08
  how
• 35:08
  I
• 35:08
  would
• 35:08
  answer
• 35:09
  that
• 35:09
  question.
• 35:09
  But
• 35:09
  at
• 35:09
  the
• 35:09
  end
• 35:10
  of
• 35:10
  the
• 35:10
  day,
• 35:10
  net
• 35:10
  net,
• 35:12
  you're
• 35:12
  gonna
• 35:12
  have
• 35:12
  to
• 35:12
  do
• 35:13
  things
• 35:13
  that
• 35:13
  you
• 35:13
  don't
• 35:14
  want
• 35:14
  to
• 35:14
  do
• 35:14
  in
• 35:15
  order
• 35:15
  to
• 35:15
  be
• 35:15
  where
• 35:16
  you
• 35:16
  want
• 35:16
  to
• 35:16
  be.
• 35:16
  Because
• 35:16
  if
• 35:16
  you
• 35:16
  continue
• 35:17
  to
• 35:17
  do
• 35:17
  the
• 35:17
  things
• 35:18
  that
• 35:18
  you've
• 35:18
  always
• 35:18
  done,
• 35:19
  you
• 35:19
  will
• 35:19
  continue
• 35:20
  to
• 35:20
  get
• 35:20
  the
• 35:20
  same
• 35:20
  results
• 35:21
  and
• 35:21
  you
• 35:21
  will
• 35:21
  be
• 35:21
  where
• 35:21
  you
• 35:21
  always
• 35:22
  have
• 35:22
  been.
• 35:23
  It
• 35:24
  really
• 35:24
  depends
• 35:24
  on
• 35:24
  what
• 35:25
  you
• 35:25
  want
• 35:25
  out
• 35:25
  of
• 35:25
  life
• 35:26
  or
• 35:26
  what
• 35:26
  you
• 35:26
  want
• 35:26
  out
• 35:26
  of
• 35:26
  that
• 35:26
  current
• 35:27
  job
• 35:27
  or
• 35:27
  that
• 35:27
  situation.
• 35:28
  But
• 35:28
  I
• 35:29
  will
• 35:29
  tell
• 35:29
  you,
• 35:29
  but
• 35:29
  I,
• 35:29
  but
• 35:30
  I
• 35:30
  will
• 35:30
  close
• 35:30
  with
• 35:30
  this,
• 35:33
  you
• 35:33
  always
• 35:34
  have
• 35:34
  to
• 35:34
  do
• 35:34
  more
• 35:35
  than
• 35:35
  you
• 35:35
  think.
• 35:37
  And
• 35:37
  that's
• 35:37
  just
• 35:37
  the
• 35:37
  reality.
• 35:38
  And
• 35:38
  so
• 35:38
  when
• 35:39
  you
• 35:39
  say,
• 35:40
  you
• 35:40
  know,
• 35:40
  and,
• 35:40
  and
• 35:40
  I
• 35:41
  love
• 35:41
  what
• 35:41
  you
• 35:41
  said,
• 35:41
  you
• 35:41
  know,
• 35:42
  you
• 35:42
  gotta
• 35:42
  analyze
• 35:43
  what
• 35:43
  do
• 35:43
  you
• 35:43
  want
• 35:44
  and
• 35:44
  you
• 35:44
  then,
• 35:45
  you
• 35:45
  know,
• 35:45
  based
• 35:45
  on
• 35:45
  what
• 35:45
  you
• 35:46
  want,
• 35:46
  if
• 35:46
  you
• 35:46
  want
• 35:46
  the
• 35:47
  higher
• 35:47
  things,
• 35:48
  then
• 35:48
  you
• 35:48
  gotta
• 35:48
  be
• 35:48
  willing
• 35:48
  to
• 35:49
  do
• 35:49
  what
• 35:49
  it
• 35:49
  takes.
• 35:50
  Who
• 35:50
  are
• 35:50
  you
• 35:51
  talking
• 35:51
  to?
• 35:51
  Are
• 35:51
  you
• 35:51
  talking
• 35:52
  to
• 35:52
  everybody?
• 35:52
  Are
• 35:52
  you
• 35:52
  talking
• 35:53
  to
• 35:53
  a
• 35:53
  certain
• 35:53
  generation?
• 35:54
  I
• 35:55
  think
• 35:55
  I'm
• 35:55
  talking
• 35:55
  to
• 35:55
  everybody.
• 35:56
  I'm
• 35:57
  talking
• 35:57
  to
• 35:57
  everybody
• 35:57
  because,
• 35:58
  um,
• 35:59
  I
• 35:59
  haven't
• 35:59
  been,
• 36:00
  you
• 36:00
  know,
• 36:00
  again,
• 36:00
  I'm
• 36:00
  only
• 36:00
  30
• 36:01
  and
• 36:01
  I
• 36:01
  can
• 36:01
  only
• 36:01
  go
• 36:01
  from
• 36:02
  the
• 36:02
  experience
• 36:02
  that
• 36:02
  I
• 36:02
  have,
• 36:03
  that
• 36:03
  I
• 36:03
  have,
• 36:04
  that
• 36:04
  I
• 36:04
  have.
• 36:05
  And
• 36:05
  as
• 36:05
  I
• 36:06
  keep
• 36:06
  going,
• 36:06
  I,
• 36:07
  I,
• 36:07
  I
• 36:07
  notice
• 36:07
  the
• 36:07
  difference
• 36:08
  between
• 36:08
  people
• 36:09
  and
• 36:09
  I
• 36:09
  notice
• 36:10
  how,
• 36:11
  and
• 36:11
  maybe
• 36:12
  it's
• 36:12
  less
• 36:12
  a
• 36:12
  generation
• 36:12
  thing
• 36:13
  and
• 36:13
  maybe
• 36:13
  it's
• 36:13
  just
• 36:13
  a
• 36:13
  people
• 36:13
  thing.
• 36:14
  And
• 36:15
  the
• 36:15
  reason
• 36:15
  I
• 36:15
  made
• 36:15
  it
• 36:15
  a
• 36:15
  generational
• 36:16
  thing
• 36:16
  is
• 36:16
  because,
• 36:17
  I
• 36:17
  mean,
• 36:17
  we've
• 36:17
  seen
• 36:17
  so
• 36:17
  many
• 36:18
  headlines
• 36:18
  over
• 36:18
  the
• 36:18
  past
• 36:18
  couple
• 36:19
  of
• 36:19
  years
• 36:19
  about,
• 36:19
  oh,
• 36:19
  gen
• 36:19
  Z,
• 36:20
  this,
• 36:20
  gen
• 36:20
  Z,
• 36:20
  that
• 36:20
  they're
• 36:21
  lazy,
• 36:21
  they
• 36:21
  don't
• 36:21
  wanna
• 36:22
  work,
• 36:22
  they're
• 36:23
  entitled,
• 36:23
  they're
• 36:23
  this
• 36:24
  or
• 36:24
  they're
• 36:24
  that.
• 36:24
  But,
• 36:25
  but
• 36:25
  in
• 36:25
  the
• 36:25
  end,
• 36:26
  I
• 36:26
  really
• 36:26
  just
• 36:26
  do
• 36:27
  think
• 36:27
  that
• 36:27
  it
• 36:28
  is
• 36:28
  in
• 36:28
  you
• 36:30
  and
• 36:30
  it
• 36:30
  can
• 36:30
  be
• 36:30
  taught.
• 36:31
  It
• 36:31
  can
• 36:31
  be
• 36:31
  learned.
• 36:32
  Right.
• 36:33
  Well,
• 36:33
  I
• 36:33
  think
• 36:34
  you
• 36:34
  said,
• 36:34
  you
• 36:34
  said
• 36:35
  a
• 36:35
  few
• 36:35
  things,
• 36:35
  buddy,
• 36:36
  that
• 36:36
  you
• 36:36
  know
• 36:37
  stood
• 36:38
  out
• 36:38
  and
• 36:39
  you
• 36:39
  said
• 36:39
  about
• 36:39
  how
• 36:39
  your
• 36:39
  parents
• 36:40
  brought
• 36:40
  you.
• 36:41
  Okay.
• 36:42
  And
• 36:42
  how
• 36:42
  they
• 36:43
  set
• 36:43
  an
• 36:43
  expectation
• 36:45
  that
• 36:46
  you
• 36:46
  were
• 36:46
  gonna
• 36:46
  have
• 36:46
  to
• 36:46
  work
• 36:47
  hard,
• 36:47
  you
• 36:47
  had
• 36:47
  to
• 36:47
  do
• 36:48
  whatever
• 36:48
  it
• 36:48
  takes.
• 36:48
  And
• 36:48
  that
• 36:49
  goes
• 36:49
  when
• 36:49
  you
• 36:49
  even
• 36:50
  talked
• 36:50
  about
• 36:50
  school,
• 36:50
  a
• 36:50
  C
• 36:51
  wasn't,
• 36:52
  um,
• 36:52
  you
• 36:52
  know,
• 36:53
  sat,
• 36:53
  they
• 36:54
  wasn't
• 36:54
  satisfied
• 36:54
  with
• 36:54
  a
• 36:54
  C
• 36:55
  in
• 36:55
  your
• 36:55
  house.
• 36:55
  You
• 36:55
  couldn't
• 36:55
  bring
• 36:55
  that.
• 36:56
  Right.
• 36:57
  And,
• 36:58
  you
• 36:58
  know,
• 36:58
  being
• 36:58
  able,
• 36:58
  having
• 36:59
  that
• 36:59
  type
• 36:59
  of
• 36:59
  mindset
• 37:00
  to
• 37:00
  understand
• 37:01
  that,
• 37:01
  you
• 37:01
  know,
• 37:02
  regardless
• 37:03
  of
• 37:03
  the
• 37:03
  technology
• 37:04
  around
• 37:04
  you,
• 37:05
  you
• 37:05
  would
• 37:05
  have

  in

• 37:41
  do
• 37:41
  we
• 37:41
  want
• 37:41
  them
• 37:41
  to
• 37:41
  walk
• 37:42
  away
• 37:42
  from
• 37:42
  this
• 37:42
  piece
• 37:43
  of
• 37:43
  content
• 37:44
  with?
• 37:44
  Because
• 37:44
  they
• 37:44
  gave
• 37:45
  us
• 37:45
  their
• 37:45
  time,
• 37:45
  right?
• 37:45
  Whether
• 37:46
  it's
• 37:46
  15
• 37:46
  minutes,
• 37:46
  30
• 37:47
  minutes,
• 37:47
  an
• 37:47
  hour,
• 37:48
  whatever,
• 37:49
  we
• 37:49
  want
• 37:49
  to
• 37:50
  not
• 37:50
  really,
• 37:51
  not
• 37:51
  really
• 37:51
  teach
• 37:52
  'em
• 37:52
  something,
• 37:52
  but
• 37:52
  we
• 37:52
  want
• 37:52
  to
• 37:53
  make
• 37:53
  them
• 37:53
  feel
• 37:53
  something.
• 37:54
  So
• 37:54
  we
• 37:54
  put
• 37:55
  a
• 37:55
  lot
• 37:55
  of
• 37:55
  effort
• 37:56
  into
• 37:56
  pre-production.
• 37:57
  What
• 37:57
  are
• 37:57
  we
• 37:57
  trying
• 37:57
  to
• 37:58
  say?
• 37:58
  Who
• 37:58
  are
• 37:58
  we
• 37:58
  trying
• 37:59
  to
• 37:59
  say
• 37:59
  it
• 37:59
  to?
• 37:59
  Who
• 37:59
  is
• 38:00
  our
• 38:00
  demographic?
• 38:01
  Is
• 38:01
  this
• 38:01
  gonna
• 38:02
  live?
• 38:02
  How
• 38:02
  long
• 38:03
  is,
• 38:03
  do
• 38:03
  we
• 38:03
  want
• 38:03
  the
• 38:03
  shelf
• 38:03
  life
• 38:04
  for
• 38:04
  this
• 38:04
  film
• 38:04
  to
• 38:04
  be?
• 38:05
  Right?
• 38:05
  And
• 38:06
  I
• 38:06
  think
• 38:06
  that
• 38:06
  a
• 38:06
  way
• 38:06
  that
• 38:07
  you
• 38:07
  can
• 38:07
  do
• 38:07
  that
• 38:08
  a
• 38:08
  lot
• 38:08
  of
• 38:08
  way
• 38:08
  through
• 38:08
  storytelling
• 38:09
  is
• 38:10
  having
• 38:10
  your
• 38:10
  character
• 38:11
  make
• 38:11
  decisions.
• 38:12
  When
• 38:13
  they
• 38:13
  make
• 38:13
  decisions,
• 38:14
  that
• 38:14
  has
• 38:14
  a
• 38:14
  lot
• 38:15
  to
• 38:15
  do
• 38:15
  with
• 38:15
  who
• 38:15
  they
• 38:15
  are,
• 38:16
  right?
• 38:16
  Or
• 38:16
  showing,
• 38:17
  not
• 38:17
  telling,
• 38:18
  right?
• 38:18
  Instead
• 38:18
  of
• 38:19
  saying,
• 38:19
  Hey,
• 38:20
  remember
• 38:20
  when
• 38:20
  we
• 38:20
  used
• 38:21
  to
• 38:21
  do
• 38:21
  this?
• 38:21
  Why
• 38:22
  don't
• 38:22
  you
• 38:22
  show?
• 38:23
  Maybe
• 38:23
  you
• 38:23
  can
• 38:23
  show
• 38:23
  a
• 38:23
  flashback
• 38:24
  of
• 38:24
  them.
• 38:24
  Maybe
• 38:24
  you
• 38:24
  can
• 38:25
  show
• 38:25
  a
• 38:25
  picture
• 38:26
  within
• 38:26
  the
• 38:26
  house
• 38:26
  of
• 38:27
  them
• 38:27
  at
• 38:27
  the
• 38:27
  beach
• 38:28
  instead
• 38:28
  of
• 38:28
  them
• 38:29
  telling
• 38:29
  you,
• 38:29
  Hey,
• 38:29
  we
• 38:29
  used
• 38:30
  to
• 38:30
  go
• 38:30
  to
• 38:30
  the
• 38:30
  beach,
• 38:30
  right?
• 38:31
  Those
• 38:31
  are
• 38:31
  small
• 38:31
  things
• 38:32
  that
• 38:32
  you
• 38:32
  can
• 38:32
  do.
• 38:32
  And
• 38:32
  then
• 38:32
  lastly
• 38:33
  is
• 38:33
  giving
• 38:33
  your
• 38:33
  audience
• 38:34
  more
• 38:34
  credit.
• 38:34
  The
• 38:35
  audience
• 38:35
  oftentimes
• 38:36
  is
• 38:36
  a
• 38:36
  lot
• 38:36
  smarter
• 38:37
  than
• 38:37
  we
• 38:37
  think,
• 38:38
  so
• 38:38
  you
• 38:39
  don't
• 38:39
  have
• 38:39
  to
• 38:39
  spoon
• 38:39
  feed
• 38:40
  them
• 38:40
  information.
• 38:40
  You
• 38:41
  can
• 38:41
  let
• 38:41
  them
• 38:41
  figure
• 38:41
  out
• 38:42
  things
• 38:42
  in
• 38:42
  their
• 38:42
  own.
• 38:42
  And
• 38:42
  I
• 38:42
  think
• 38:43
  when
• 38:43
  you
• 38:43
  do
• 38:43
  that,
• 38:43
  you'll
• 38:43
  be
• 38:43
  surprised
• 38:44
  at
• 38:45
  the,
• 38:45
  the
• 38:46
  reaction
• 38:46
  that
• 38:46
  you
• 38:46
  get
• 38:46
  from
• 38:47
  the
• 38:47
  audience.
• 38:47
  Got
• 38:47
  it,
• 38:48
  got
• 38:48
  it,
• 38:48
  got
• 38:48
  it.
• 38:48
  So
• 38:49
  you
• 38:50
  seem
• 38:50
  like
• 38:50
  you
• 38:50
  really
• 38:50
  enjoy
• 38:51
  this
• 38:51
  moment.
• 38:52
  Right?
• 38:52
  So
• 38:53
  give
• 38:54
  me
• 38:54
  a
• 38:54
  little
• 38:54
  bit
• 38:54
  in
• 38:54
  terms
• 38:55
  of
• 38:55
  like
• 38:56
  what
• 38:56
  was
• 38:56
  the
• 38:56
  best
• 38:57
  movie
• 38:58
  that
• 38:58
  you've
• 38:58
  seen
• 38:59
  that
• 39:00
  the
• 39:00
  story
• 39:00
  resonated
• 39:01
  with?
• 39:03
  It
• 39:03
  didn't
• 39:03
  leave
• 39:03
  you.
• 39:03
  And
• 39:04
  then
• 39:04
  from
• 39:04
  there,
• 39:05
  what
• 39:05
  lessons
• 39:06
  did
• 39:06
  you
• 39:07
  learn
• 39:07
  from
• 39:07
  that
• 39:07
  and
• 39:07
  how
• 39:08
  do
• 39:08
  you
• 39:08
  apply
• 39:08
  moving
• 39:08
  forward?
• 39:09
  Man,
• 39:10
  that's
• 39:10
  a
• 39:10
  tough
• 39:10
  question.
• 39:10
  I
• 39:11
  always
• 39:11
  struggle
• 39:11
  when
• 39:11
  I'm,
• 39:12
  uh,
• 39:12
  when
• 39:12
  I'm
• 39:12
  asked
• 39:13
  what,
• 39:13
  uh,
• 39:14
  my
• 39:14
  favorite
• 39:14
  movie
• 39:15
  is
• 39:15
  or
• 39:15
  what
• 39:16
  the
• 39:16
  most
• 39:16
  powerful
• 39:16
  movie
• 39:17
  is
• 39:17
  I
• 39:17
  watched,
• 39:18
  and
• 39:18
  I
• 39:18
  guess
• 39:18
  off
• 39:18
  the
• 39:18
  top
• 39:19
  of
• 39:19
  my
• 39:19
  head,
• 39:19
  I
• 39:19
  would
• 39:19
  probably
• 39:20
  have
• 39:20
  to
• 39:21
  say
• 39:23
  I
• 39:24
  don't.
• 39:25
  I
• 39:25
  don't
• 39:25
  have
• 39:26
  one
• 39:26
  movie
• 39:26
  or
• 39:27
  one
• 39:27
  mo,
• 39:28
  one
• 39:28
  movie
• 39:28
  that
• 39:28
  I
• 39:28
  can
• 39:28
  point
• 39:29
  to.
• 39:29
  But
• 39:29
  I
• 39:29
  think
• 39:30
  that
• 39:30
  a
• 39:30
  lot
• 39:30
  of
• 39:30
  the
• 39:30
  ones
• 39:30
  that
• 39:31
  come
• 39:31
  to
• 39:31
  mind
• 39:31
  are
• 39:31
  movies
• 39:31
  that
• 39:32
  I
• 39:32
  watched
• 39:32
  in
• 39:32
  my
• 39:32
  childhood,
• 39:33
  because
• 39:34
  those
• 39:34
  movies
• 39:34
  I
• 39:34
  think
• 39:35
  are
• 39:35
  timeless
• 39:36
  because
• 39:36
  they
• 39:36
  teach
• 39:36
  you
• 39:37
  the,
• 39:38
  they
• 39:38
  teach
• 39:38
  you
• 39:39
  the
• 39:39
  values
• 39:40
  and
• 39:40
  morals
• 39:40
  of
• 39:40
  just
• 39:41
  being
• 39:41
  a
• 39:41
  good
• 39:41
  person,
• 39:41
  doing
• 39:42
  the
• 39:42
  right
• 39:42
  thing,
• 39:42
  making
• 39:42
  the
• 39:42
  right
• 39:42
  decisions.
• 39:43
  So
• 39:43
  I
• 39:44
  can't
• 39:44
  really
• 39:44
  answer
• 39:45
  what
• 39:45
  the
• 39:45
  best
• 39:46
  movie
• 39:46
  or
• 39:46
  the
• 39:46
  uh,
• 39:47
  is
• 39:47
  or
• 39:47
  what
• 39:47
  moved
• 39:48
  me
• 39:48
  the
• 39:48
  most,
• 39:49
  you
• 39:49
  know?
• 39:49
  Why
• 39:49
  Tony?
• 39:49
  Because
• 39:50
  I'm
• 39:50
  gonna
• 39:50
  make
• 39:50
  that
• 39:50
  movie.
• 39:51
  I.
• 39:51
  I'm
• 39:52
  gonna
• 39:52
  make
• 39:52
  that
• 39:52
  movie.
• 39:53
  Oh,
• 39:53
  I
• 39:53
  get,
• 39:53
  well
• 39:53
  look
• 39:54
  and
• 39:54
  I
• 39:54
  get
• 39:54
  that
• 39:55
  right
• 39:55
  because
• 39:56
  like
• 39:56
  you,
• 39:56
  I
• 39:57
  like
• 39:57
  so
• 39:57
  many
• 39:57
  different
• 39:58
  movies.
• 39:59
  I
• 39:59
  enjoy
• 40:00
  them.
• 40:00
  They
• 40:00
  all
• 40:00
  speak
• 40:01
  to
• 40:01
  me.
• 40:01
  I
• 40:01
  was
• 40:01
  just,
• 40:02
  reason
• 40:02
  I
• 40:02
  asked
• 40:03
  the
• 40:03
  question
• 40:03
  is
• 40:03
  because,
• 40:04
  you
• 40:04
  know,
• 40:05
  you
• 40:05
  talked
• 40:05
  about
• 40:06
  the
• 40:06
  different
• 40:07
  ways
• 40:07
  or
• 40:07
  the
• 40:07
  different
• 40:08
  components
• 40:08
  to
• 40:09
  a
• 40:09
  story.
• 40:10
  About
• 40:10
  the
• 40:11
  audience
• 40:12
  smarter
• 40:12
  than
• 40:12
  you
• 40:13
  think
• 40:13
  and
• 40:14
  the
• 40:14
  whole
• 40:14
  nine
• 40:14
  yards.
• 40:15
  And
• 40:15
  you
• 40:15
  know,
• 40:16
  one
• 40:16
  of
• 40:16
  the
• 40:16
  things
• 40:17
  that
• 40:17
  always,
• 40:18
  when
• 40:18
  I
• 40:18
  know
• 40:18
  I
• 40:18
  watched
• 40:19
  something
• 40:19
  really
• 40:19
  good
• 40:19
  and
• 40:20
  I
• 40:20
  saw
• 40:20
  a
• 40:20
  good
• 40:20
  story
• 40:21
  mm-hmm.
• 40:22
  It
• 40:22
  didn't
• 40:22
  leave
• 40:23
  me,
• 40:24
  I
• 40:24
  would
• 40:24
  think
• 40:24
  about
• 40:25
  it
• 40:25
  even
• 40:25
  when
• 40:25
  I
• 40:26
  went
• 40:26
  to
• 40:26
  bed
• 40:26
  that
• 40:26
  night,
• 40:27
  I
• 40:27
  would
• 40:27
  think
• 40:27
  about
• 40:27
  that
• 40:27
  story
• 40:28
  when
• 40:28
  I
• 40:29
  woke
• 40:29
  up
• 40:29
  the
• 40:29
  next
• 40:29
  day.
• 40:30
  Think
• 40:30
  about
• 40:30
  that.
• 40:31
  Right.
• 40:32
  And
• 40:32
  even
• 40:33
  if
• 40:33
  it
• 40:33
  wasn't,
• 40:34
  um,
• 40:34
  something
• 40:35
  in
• 40:35
  my
• 40:35
  wheelhouse,
• 40:36
  just
• 40:36
  in
• 40:36
  terms
• 40:36
  of
• 40:36
  the
• 40:37
  characters.
• 40:38
  What
• 40:38
  happened
• 40:39
  in
• 40:39
  the
• 40:39
  story.
• 40:40
  Right.
• 40:40
  So
• 40:41
  that's
• 40:41
  why
• 40:41
  I
• 40:41
  was
• 40:41
  asking
• 40:42
  you
• 40:42
  the
• 40:42
  question
• 40:42
  because,
• 40:43
  and
• 40:43
  you
• 40:44
  tell
• 40:44
  me
• 40:45
  one
• 40:45
  of
• 40:45
  the
• 40:45
  stories
• 40:46
  about
• 40:46
  making
• 40:46
  that
• 40:47
  emotional
• 40:47
  connection,
• 40:48
  correct?
• 40:48
  Mm-hmm.
• 40:49
  Right.
• 40:49
  A
• 40:49
  hundred
• 40:49
  percent.
• 40:50
  And
• 40:50
  trying
• 40:50
  to
• 40:51
  garner,
• 40:51
  make
• 40:52
  people
• 40:52
  feel
• 40:52
  that
• 40:52
  they're
• 40:53
  in
• 40:53
  the
• 40:53
  movie
• 40:53
  or
• 40:53
  they
• 40:54
  feel
• 40:54
  the
• 40:54
  pain
• 40:54
  or
• 40:55
  the
• 40:55
  exuberance
• 40:57
  of
• 40:57
  what
• 40:57
  the
• 40:57
  character
• 40:57
  is
• 40:58
  going.
• 40:59
  Talk
• 40:59
  a
• 40:59
  little
• 40:59
  bit
• 40:59
  about
• 41:00
  the
• 41:00
  movie
• 41:00
  that
• 41:00
  you
• 41:00
  guys
• 41:01
  made.
• 41:02
  Um.
• 41:03
  That,
• 41:04
  you
• 41:04
  know,
• 41:04
  you
• 41:04
  won
• 41:04
  an
• 41:04
  award
• 41:05
  with,
• 41:05
  right?
• 41:06
  Mm-hmm.
• 41:06
  You
• 41:06
  talk,
• 41:06
  talk
• 41:07
  a
• 41:07
  little
• 41:07
  bit
• 41:07
  about
• 41:07
  that.
• 41:08
  Yeah,
• 41:08
  sure.
• 41:08
  So
• 41:09
  the
• 41:09
  first
• 41:09
  movie
• 41:10
  that
• 41:10
  I
• 41:10
  had
• 41:10
  actually
• 41:10
  written
• 41:11
  alongside
• 41:12
  my
• 41:12
  sister
• 41:12
  was
• 41:12
  called
• 41:12
  The
• 41:12
  Fruited
• 41:13
  Bears.
• 41:13
  And
• 41:13
  it
• 41:13
  was
• 41:13
  a
• 41:13
  love
• 41:14
  story
• 41:14
  about,
• 41:15
  um,
• 41:15
  a
• 41:16
  young
• 41:16
  25-year-old
• 41:17
  couple
• 41:18
  in
• 41:18
  New
• 41:18
  York
• 41:18
  City.
• 41:19
  And
• 41:19
  really
• 41:19
  the,
• 41:20
  the
• 41:20
  crux
• 41:20
  of
• 41:20
  the
• 41:20
  story
• 41:21
  was
• 41:21
  the,
• 41:21
  the
• 41:22
  gentleman
• 41:22
  in
• 41:22
  the
• 41:22
  story
• 41:23
  felt
• 41:23
  as
• 41:23
  though
• 41:23
  that,
• 41:24
  Hey,
• 41:24
  we
• 41:24
  can't
• 41:24
  be
• 41:24
  who
• 41:24
  we
• 41:25
  need
• 41:25
  to
• 41:25
  be
• 41:25
  together.
• 41:26
  I
• 41:26
  can't
• 41:27
  be
• 41:27
  who
• 41:27
  I
• 41:27
  want
• 41:27
  to
• 41:27
  be
• 41:28
  and
• 41:28
  need
• 41:28
  to
• 41:28
  be
• 41:28
  and
• 41:28
  neither
• 41:28
  can
• 41:29
  you.
• 41:29
  And
• 41:29
  he
• 41:29
  had
• 41:29
  convinced
• 41:30
  himself
• 41:30
  of
• 41:30
  that
• 41:31
  and
• 41:31
  blamed
• 41:31
  it
• 41:32
  on
• 41:32
  the
• 41:32
  other
• 41:32
  person
• 41:32
  as
• 41:33
  opposed
• 41:33
  to
• 41:33
  taking
• 41:34
  a
• 41:34
  look
• 41:34
  inside
• 41:34
  and
• 41:34
  saying,
• 41:34
  okay,
• 41:35
  well
• 41:35
  what
• 41:35
  can't,
• 41:35
  what
• 41:35
  can't
• 41:36
  I
• 41:36
  do?
• 41:36
  As
• 41:36
  opposed
• 41:36
  to,
• 41:36
  what
• 41:37
  can't
• 41:37
  I
• 41:37
  do?
• 41:38
  And
• 41:38
  I
• 41:38
  think
• 41:38
  what
• 41:38
  made
• 41:39
  that
• 41:39
  movie
• 41:39
  successful
• 41:40
  was
• 41:40
  our
• 41:40
  goal
• 41:40
  was
• 41:41
  to.
• 41:43
  Pull
• 41:43
  at
• 41:43
  the
• 41:43
  heartstrings,
• 41:44
  right?
• 41:44
  So
• 41:44
  people
• 41:45
  often
• 41:45
  ask
• 41:45
  me,
• 41:45
  Hey,
• 41:45
  so
• 41:46
  this
• 41:46
  is,
• 41:46
  this
• 41:46
  is
• 41:46
  your
• 41:46
  story,
• 41:46
  right?
• 41:47
  This
• 41:47
  is,
• 41:47
  this
• 41:47
  is,
• 41:48
  this
• 41:48
  is
• 41:48
  your
• 41:48
  breakup
• 41:49
  story.
• 41:49
  And
• 41:49
  I'm
• 41:49
  like,
• 41:49
  no,
• 41:50
  this
• 41:50
  is
• 41:50
  your
• 41:50
  story.
• 41:50
  This
• 41:51
  is
• 41:51
  my
• 41:51
  mother's
• 41:51
  story.
• 41:51
  This
• 41:51
  is
• 41:52
  my
• 41:52
  father's
• 41:52
  story.
• 41:52
  This
• 41:52
  is
• 41:52
  my
• 41:53
  sister's
• 41:53
  story.
• 41:54
  So
• 41:54
  how
• 41:54
  we
• 41:54
  like
• 41:54
  to
• 41:54
  write
• 41:54
  characters
• 41:55
  is
• 41:56
  we'll,
• 41:56
  we'll,
• 41:56
  we'll
• 41:56
  take
• 41:56
  one
• 41:56
  and
• 41:57
  say,
• 41:57
  okay,
• 41:57
  this
• 41:57
  is
• 41:57
  where
• 41:57
  we
• 41:58
  want
• 41:58
  to
• 41:58
  go,
• 41:58
  right?
• 41:59
  But
• 41:59
  when
• 41:59
  I
• 41:59
  said
• 41:59
  earlier
• 42:00
  that
• 42:00
  we
• 42:00
  like
• 42:00
  to
• 42:00
  break
• 42:00
  the
• 42:00
  rules,
• 42:01
  this
• 42:01
  is
• 42:01
  what
• 42:01
  I
• 42:01
  mean.
• 42:02
  Because
• 42:02
  this
• 42:02
  character,
• 42:03
  this
• 42:03
  is
• 42:04
  a
• 42:04
  fictional
• 42:04
  story.
• 42:05
  You're
• 42:05
  allowed
• 42:05
  to
• 42:05
  pull
• 42:06
  from
• 42:06
  wherever
• 42:06
  you
• 42:06
  need
• 42:07
  to
• 42:07
  pull
• 42:07
  to
• 42:07
  tell
• 42:07
  a
• 42:08
  compelling
• 42:08
  narrative.
• 42:08
  Right?
• 42:09
  So
• 42:09
  I
• 42:09
  pull
• 42:10
  from
• 42:10
  everybody
• 42:10
  in
• 42:10
  my
• 42:11
  life.
• 42:11
  I
• 42:11
  pull
• 42:11
  from
• 42:11
  every
• 42:12
  movie
• 42:12
  that
• 42:12
  I've
• 42:12
  ever
• 42:12
  seen
• 42:13
  to
• 42:14
  bring
• 42:14
  together
• 42:15
  this
• 42:15
  character
• 42:16
  that
• 42:16
  is
• 42:16
  a
• 42:16
  full
• 42:16
  fledged,
• 42:17
  fully
• 42:17
  functioning
• 42:18
  person
• 42:19
  that
• 42:19
  you
• 42:19
  can
• 42:20
  relate
• 42:20
  to.
• 42:21
  Right?
• 42:21
  Right.
• 42:21
  And,
• 42:22
  um,
• 42:22
  that's
• 42:22
  how
• 42:22
  I
• 42:22
  think
• 42:23
  that
• 42:23
  we
• 42:23
  do
• 42:23
  it.
• 42:23
  And,
• 42:24
  uh,
• 42:24
  we
• 42:24
  with
• 42:24
  the
• 42:24
  goal
• 42:25
  of,
• 42:25
  like
• 42:25
  I
• 42:25
  said,
• 42:26
  you
• 42:26
  walking
• 42:26
  away
• 42:26
  from
• 42:27
  the
• 42:27
  theater
• 42:27
  and
• 42:27
  you,
• 42:27
  you
• 42:27
  said
• 42:28
  the,
• 42:28
  the
• 42:28
  stories
• 42:28
  that
• 42:28
  stick
• 42:29
  with
• 42:29
  you
• 42:29
  have
• 42:29
  you
• 42:29
  asking
• 42:30
  this,
• 42:30
  I
• 42:30
  think
• 42:31
  that
• 42:31
  that.
• 42:31
  We
• 42:32
  had
• 42:32
  that
• 42:32
  in
• 42:32
  our
• 42:32
  mind
• 42:33
  when
• 42:33
  we
• 42:33
  wrote
• 42:33
  it
• 42:33
  and
• 42:33
  when
• 42:34
  we
• 42:34
  made
• 42:34
  it.
• 42:34
  And
• 42:34
  I
• 42:34
  think
• 42:34
  that
• 42:35
  is
• 42:35
  what
• 42:35
  made
• 42:35
  us
• 42:36
  successful
• 42:36
  because
• 42:37
  everybody
• 42:38
  could
• 42:38
  see
• 42:38
  themselves
• 42:39
  in
• 42:40
  that
• 42:40
  story.
• 42:40
  Whether
• 42:40
  you
• 42:40
  are
• 42:41
  eight,
• 42:41
  I
• 42:41
  remember
• 42:41
  saying
• 42:42
  this
• 42:42
  to
• 42:42
  my
• 42:42
  production
• 42:42
  team,
• 42:43
  Hey,
• 42:43
  whether
• 42:44
  you
• 42:44
  are
• 42:44
  eight
• 42:44
  or
• 42:44
  80,
• 42:45
  I
• 42:45
  don't
• 42:46
  care
• 42:46
  when
• 42:46
  you
• 42:46
  watch
• 42:47
  this
• 42:47
  movie,
• 42:47
  you
• 42:47
  are
• 42:47
  going
• 42:48
  to
• 42:48
  take
• 42:48
  something
• 42:48
  away
• 42:49
  from
• 42:50
  it
• 42:50
  with
• 42:50
  you.
• 42:50
  And
• 42:50
  we
• 42:51
  have
• 42:51
  that
• 42:51
  goal
• 42:51
  with
• 42:51
  every
• 42:52
  piece
• 42:52
  of
• 42:52
  content
• 42:52
  that
• 42:52
  we
• 42:52
  make,
• 42:53
  and
• 42:53
  I
• 42:53
  think
• 42:53
  that
• 42:54
  that
• 42:54
  is
• 42:54
  a
• 42:54
  real
• 42:55
  difference.
• 42:56
  What
• 42:56
  separates
• 42:57
  Barbara
• 42:57
  Jean
• 42:57
  production
• 42:58
  from
• 42:58
  everybody.
• 42:59
  What
• 42:59
  separates
• 43:00
  us
• 43:00
  is
• 43:00
  our
• 43:01
  mission
• 43:01
  to
• 43:02
  motivate,
• 43:02
  educate,
• 43:02
  and
• 43:03
  inspire.
• 43:04
  No
• 43:04
  matter
• 43:04
  what
• 43:04
  we're
• 43:04
  doing,
• 43:04
  whether
• 43:05
  it's
• 43:05
  a
• 43:05
  corporate
• 43:05
  event,
• 43:06
  whether
• 43:06
  it's
• 43:06
  for
• 43:06
  an
• 43:07
  event,
• 43:07
  for
• 43:07
  a
• 43:07
  charter
• 43:08
  school,
• 43:08
  or
• 43:08
  whether
• 43:08
  we're
• 43:08
  doing
• 43:09
  branded
• 43:09
  content
• 43:09
  or
• 43:10
  whether
• 43:10
  we're
• 43:10
  doing
• 43:10
  a
• 43:10
  short
• 43:11
  film.
• 43:11
  The
• 43:11
  work
• 43:12
  that
• 43:12
  we
• 43:12
  take
• 43:12
  on
• 43:13
  is
• 43:14
  always
• 43:14
  mission
• 43:15
  driven
• 43:16
  and
• 43:16
  we
• 43:16
  want
• 43:16
  to.
• 43:18
  Visually
• 43:19
  show
• 43:19
  people
• 43:20
  and
• 43:20
  make
• 43:20
  them
• 43:20
  feel
• 43:20
  something,
• 43:21
  even
• 43:21
  if
• 43:21
  it's
• 43:21
  just
• 43:22
  a
• 43:22
  commercial
• 43:22
  or
• 43:22
  even
• 43:23
  if
• 43:23
  it's
• 43:23
  just
• 43:23
  a
• 43:23
  product.
• 43:24
  Right?
• 43:25
  Um,
• 43:25
  so
• 43:25
  what
• 43:25
  sets
• 43:25
  us
• 43:25
  apart
• 43:26
  is
• 43:26
  you're

  you,

  for

  And

  what

  we
• 43:30
  understand
• 43:30
  is
• 43:31
  we

  are

  doing

  work

  for

  TikTok
• 46:08
  or
• 46:08
  Facebook.
• 46:08
  Mm-hmm.
• 46:08
  Or
• 46:08
  whoever
• 46:08
  the
• 46:08
  case
• 46:09
  may
• 46:09
  be.
• 46:09
  Right.
• 46:10
  So
• 46:10
  I
• 46:10
  can't
• 46:11
  wait
• 46:11
  for
• 46:11
  that
• 46:11
  to
• 46:11
  come
• 46:11
  out.
• 46:12
  When,
• 46:12
  when
• 46:12
  will
• 46:12
  that
• 46:12
  launch
• 46:13
  my
• 46:13
  brother?
• 46:13
  Yeah.
• 46:14
  I
• 46:14
  think
• 46:14
  we
• 46:14
  can
• 46:14
  expect
• 46:14
  to
• 46:14
  see
• 46:15
  that
• 46:15
  in,
• 46:15
  uh,
• 46:15
  mid
• 46:15
  to
• 46:15
  late
• 46:16
  spring.
• 46:16
  Okay.
• 46:16
  So
• 46:17
  before
• 46:17
  June,
• 46:18
  but
• 46:18
  not
• 46:18
  before
• 46:18
  April,
• 46:18
  I
• 46:19
  can
• 46:19
  tell
• 46:19
  you
• 46:19
  that.
• 46:19
  So
• 46:19
  probably
• 46:20
  a
• 46:20
  mid
• 46:21
  to
• 46:21
  late
• 46:21
  April.

  you

  It's

  Hey,

  Tony,
• 48:37
  here's
• 48:37
  what
• 48:38
  happened.
• 48:38
  Here's
• 48:39
  what
• 48:39
  I
• 48:39
  suggest
• 48:39
  we
• 48:39
  do
• 48:39
  about
• 48:40
  it.
• 48:40
  Here's
• 48:40
  why.
• 48:40
  Here's
• 48:41
  the
• 48:41
  potential
• 48:41
  implications
• 48:42
  of
• 48:42
  what
• 48:42
  were
• 48:42
  suggestions.
• 48:43
  Here's
• 48:43
  the
• 48:43
  ramifications,
• 48:44
  here's
• 48:44
  the
• 48:44
  risks.
• 48:45
  What
• 48:45
  do
• 48:45
  you
• 48:46
  think?
• 48:46
  Right?
• 48:46
  And
• 48:47
  you
• 48:47
  tell
• 48:47
  me
• 48:47
  what
• 48:47
  to
• 48:47
  prioritize,
• 48:48
  right?
• 48:49
  That
• 48:49
  is
• 48:49
  the
• 48:49
  person
• 48:49
  that
• 48:50
  you,
• 48:50
  I'm
• 48:50
  sure,
• 48:50
  that
• 48:50
  you'd
• 48:50
  like
• 48:50
  to
• 48:51
  work
• 48:51
  with,
• 48:51
  right?
• 48:52
  And
• 48:52
  the
• 48:52
  second
• 48:52
  thing
• 48:52
  that
• 48:52
  I
• 48:52
  would
• 48:53
  say
• 48:53
  is,
• 48:53
  is
• 48:54
  life
• 48:54
  doesn't
• 48:54
  happen
• 48:54
  on
• 48:54
  the
• 48:54
  couch.
• 48:55
  I
• 48:55
  don't
• 48:56
  care
• 48:56
  how
• 48:56
  many
• 48:56
  emails
• 48:57
  you
• 48:57
  send,

  how
• 48:58
  many
• 48:58
  Zoom
• 48:58
  calls

  First

  A

  A

  lot
• 49:12
  of
• 49:12
  the
• 49:13
  people

  who

  Right?
• 49:20
  Um,
• 49:20
  and
• 49:20
  I
• 49:20
  think,
• 49:20
  I
• 49:21
  wish
• 49:21
  that
• 49:21
  somebody
• 49:21
  had

  told
• 49:22
  me
• 49:22
  that,
• 49:22
  uh,
• 49:22
  a
• 49:22
  while
• 49:23
  ago
• 49:23
  because,
• 49:24
  um,
• 49:25
  you
• 49:25
  know,
• 49:25
  some,
• 49:25
  sometimes
• 49:26
  you're
• 49:26
  just
• 49:26
  comfortable,
• 49:26
  man,
• 49:27
  you
• 49:27
  know
• 49:27
  you're
• 49:27
  going
• 49:27
  to
• 49:27
  work.
• 49:28
  You're
• 49:28
  in
• 49:28
  a
• 49:28
  routine.
• 49:29
  You
• 49:29
  don't
• 49:29
  wanna
• 49:29
  go
• 49:29
  to
• 49:29
  that
• 49:29
  dinner,
• 49:30
  you
• 49:30
  don't
• 49:30
  wanna
• 49:30
  go
• 49:30
  to
• 49:30
  that
• 49:30
  conference,
• 49:31
  you
• 49:31
  don't
• 49:31
  wanna
• 49:31
  go
• 49:31
  to
• 49:31
  that
• 49:32
  seminar.
• 49:32
  You
• 49:32
  don't
• 49:32
  wanna
• 49:32
  go
• 49:32
  to
• 49:33
  that
• 49:33
  mixer.
• 49:33
  You

  don't
• 49:33
  wanna
• 49:34
  go
• 49:34
  to
• 49:34
  that
• 49:34
  networking
• 49:34
  event.
• 49:35
  So,
• 49:35
  especially
• 49:36
  when
• 49:36
  you're
• 49:36
  an
• 49:36
  entrepreneur,
• 49:37
  especially
• 49:37
  if
• 49:37
  you're
• 49:37
  in
• 49:38
  the
• 49:38
  creative
• 49:38
  field,
• 49:38
  if
• 49:38
  you're
• 49:38
  trying
• 49:39
  to
• 49:39
  grow
• 49:39
  your
• 49:39
  career,
• 49:40
  man,
• 49:40
  life
• 49:40
  does
• 49:41
  not
• 49:41
  happen
• 49:41
  on
• 49:41
  the
• 49:41
  couch.
• 49:42
  And
• 49:42
  lastly,
• 49:43
  I
• 49:43
  would
• 49:43
  just
• 49:43
  say,
• 49:44
  just
• 49:44
  knew
• 49:44
  the
• 49:45
  next
• 49:45
  best
• 49:45
  thing.
• 49:46
  You
• 49:46
  don't
• 49:46
  have
• 49:46
  to
• 49:47
  have
• 49:47
  it
• 49:47
  all
• 49:47
  planned
• 49:47
  out.
• 49:48
  I
• 49:48
  think
• 49:48
  oftentimes
• 49:49
  a
• 49:49
  lot
• 49:49
  of
• 49:49
  people
• 49:49
  get
• 49:49
  caught
• 49:50
  up
• 49:50
  in
• 49:51
  having
• 49:51
  everything
• 49:51
  planned
• 49:52
  and
• 49:52
  mapped
• 49:52
  out.
• 49:52
  Everything
• 49:52
  needs
• 49:53
  to
• 49:53
  be
• 49:53
  my
• 49:54
  t's
• 49:54
  need
• 49:54
  to
• 49:54
  be
• 49:54
  crossing
• 49:54
  them.
• 49:54
  My,
• 49:55
  I
• 49:55
  need
• 49:55
  to
• 49:55
  be
• 49:55
  doted
• 49:55
  for
• 49:56
  me
• 49:56
  to
• 49:56
  launch,
• 49:56
  but
• 49:57
  life
• 49:57
  does
• 49:57
  not
• 49:57
  work
• 49:57
  that
• 49:58
  way.
• 49:58
  Sometimes
• 49:59
  you
• 49:59
  just
• 49:59
  have
• 49:59
  to
• 49:59
  throw
• 50:00
  yourself
• 50:00
  out
• 50:00
  to
• 50:00
  the
• 50:00
  universe
• 50:01
  and
• 50:01
  build
• 50:01
  the
• 50:01
  plane
• 50:02
  as
• 50:02
  you
• 50:02
  fly
• 50:02
  it.
• 50:03
  And
• 50:03
  I
• 50:03
  always
• 50:04
  say,
• 50:04
  life
• 50:04
  opens
• 50:04
  up
• 50:05
  when
• 50:05
  you
• 50:05
  do,
• 50:06
  and
• 50:07
  the
• 50:07
  best
• 50:07
  things
• 50:07
  in
• 50:07
  life
• 50:08
  are
• 50:08
  on
• 50:08
  the
• 50:08
  other
• 50:08
  side
• 50:09
  of
• 50:09
  fear.
• 50:10
  This
• 50:10
  may
• 50:10
  sound
• 50:10
  cliche,
• 50:11
  this
• 50:11
  may
• 50:11
  sound
• 50:12
  corny,
• 50:12
  but
• 50:13
  really
• 50:13
  just
• 50:13
  sit
• 50:13
  down
• 50:13
  and
• 50:13
  think
• 50:14
  about
• 50:14
  some
• 50:14
  of
• 50:14
  the
• 50:14
  things
• 50:14
  that
• 50:15
  you
• 50:15
  really
• 50:15
  want
• 50:15
  to
• 50:15
  do.
• 50:15
  Sit
• 50:16
  at
• 50:16
  the
• 50:16
  edge
• 50:16
  of
• 50:16
  your
• 50:16
  bed
• 50:16
  one
• 50:16
  day
• 50:17
  and
• 50:17
  think
• 50:17
  about.
• 50:19
  What
• 50:19
  am
• 50:19
  I
• 50:19
  doing?
• 50:19
  What
• 50:20
  do
• 50:20
  I
• 50:20
  really
• 50:20
  want
• 50:20
  to
• 50:20
  do?
• 50:21
  And
• 50:21
  I
• 50:21
  guarantee
• 50:22
  you
• 50:22
  some
• 50:22
  of
• 50:22
  those
• 50:22
  cliches
• 50:23
  that
• 50:23
  I
• 50:23
  just
• 50:23
  said,
• 50:24
  you
• 50:24
  are
• 50:24
  gonna
• 50:24
  be
• 50:24
  running
• 50:24
  them
• 50:25
  in
• 50:25
  your
• 50:25
  mind.
• 50:25
  And
• 50:25
  I
• 50:26
  promise
• 50:26
  you,
• 50:26
  you're
• 50:26
  gonna
• 50:26
  come
• 50:26
  up
• 50:26
  with
• 50:27
  some
• 50:27
  answers,
• 50:27
  buddy.
• 50:27
  It
• 50:28
  is
• 50:28
  so
• 50:28
  true.
• 50:29
  And
• 50:29
  those
• 50:29
  are
• 50:29
  great
• 50:29
  final
• 50:30
  thoughts,
• 50:30
  my
• 50:30
  brother.
• 50:31
  So
• 50:31
  thank
• 50:31
  you,
• 50:32
  man.
• 50:32
  So,
• 50:32
  final
• 50:33
  question
• 50:33
  I
• 50:33
  have
• 50:33
  for
• 50:33
  you.
• 50:33
  How
• 50:34
  can
• 50:34
  BEP
• 50:34
  help.
• 50:35
  You,
• 50:35
  my
• 50:35
  brother.
• 50:36
  I'm
• 50:36
  glad
• 50:36
  you
• 50:36
  asked.
• 50:37
  How
• 50:37
  you
• 50:37
  can
• 50:37
  help
• 50:37
  is
• 50:38
  continuing
• 50:38
  to
• 50:38
  do
• 50:38
  this
• 50:39
  right?
• 50:39
  Because
• 50:40
  I
• 50:40
  know
• 50:40
  that
• 50:40
  we're
• 50:41
  in
• 50:41
  2025
• 50:41
  now
• 50:42
  and
• 50:42
  there's
• 50:42
  all
• 50:42
  kinds
• 50:43
  of
• 50:43
  conversation
• 50:43
  going
• 50:44
  on
• 50:44
  about
• 50:45
  whether
• 50:45
  these
• 50:45
  conversations
• 50:46
  need
• 50:46
  to
• 50:46
  still
• 50:46
  be
• 50:46
  going,
• 50:47
  but
• 50:47
  the
• 50:47
  answer
• 50:47
  is
• 50:48
  yes,
• 50:48
  they
• 50:48
  do.
• 50:48
  Because
• 50:49
  we're
• 50:49
  here
• 50:49
  to
• 50:49
  have
• 50:49
  uncomfortable
• 50:50
  conversations
• 50:50
  that
• 50:50
  can
• 50:51
  be
• 50:51
  about
• 50:51
  anything
• 50:52
  and
• 50:52
  that
• 50:52
  never
• 50:53
  needs
• 50:53
  to
• 50:53
  go
• 50:53
  away.
• 50:54
  So
• 50:54
  I
• 50:54
  would
• 50:54
  encourage
• 50:55
  you
• 50:55
  guys
• 50:55
  to
• 50:55
  keep
• 50:55
  doing
• 50:56
  what
• 50:56
  you're
• 50:56
  doing
• 50:56
  and
• 50:56
  I
• 50:56
  wanna
• 50:57
  see
• 50:57
  you
• 50:57

• 50:58
  I
• 50:58
  wanna
• 50:58
  see
• 50:58
  you

  I
• 50:59
  wanna
• 50:59
  see
• 50:59
  you
• 50:59
  at
• 51:00
  live
• 51:00
  events.
• 51:01
  I
• 51:01
  wanna
• 51:01
  see
• 51:01
  people.
• 51:02
  Stumbling
• 51:02
  upon
• 51:03
  your
• 51:03
  podcast
• 51:04
  in
• 51:04
  person
• 51:04
  and
• 51:05
  say,
• 51:05

  That's
• 51:07
  what
• 51:07
  I
• 51:08
  wanna
• 51:08
  see.
• 51:08
  And
• 51:08
  I
• 51:08
  wanted
• 51:08
  to,
• 51:08
  I
• 51:09
  would
• 51:09
  love
• 51:09
  to
• 51:09
  see
• 51:09
  this
• 51:09
  platform
• 51:10
  grow.
• 51:10
  I
• 51:10
  wanna
• 51:10
  see
• 51:11
  weekly
• 51:11
  segments
• 51:12
  because
• 51:12
  I
• 51:12
  think
• 51:12
  that
• 51:13
  it
• 51:13
  is
• 51:14
  important
• 51:14
  now
• 51:15
  more
• 51:15
  than
• 51:15
  ever.
• 51:16
  We're
• 51:16
  past
• 51:16
  the
• 51:16
  George
• 51:16
  Floyd
• 51:17
  economy,
• 51:17
  we're
• 51:17
  past
• 51:18
  2020,
• 51:18
  we're
• 51:18

• 51:19
  of
• 51:19
  that.
• 51:20
  These
• 51:20
  conversations
• 51:21
  need
• 51:21
  to
• 51:21
  keep
• 51:21
  going
• 51:22
  and,
• 51:22
  um,
• 51:22
  I
• 51:22
  think
• 51:23
  this
• 51:23
  is
• 51:23
  a
• 51:23
  perfect
• 51:23
  place
• 51:23
  forward.
• 51:24
  I
• 51:24
  think

  path.

  So

  if

  Jenny

  says

  something
• 54:17
  at

  the
• 54:17
  Sunday
• 54:17
  dinner
• 54:18
  table
• 54:18
  that's
• 54:19
  inappropriate,
• 54:19
  you
• 54:20
  say,
• 54:20
  aunt
• 54:20
  Jenny,
• 54:21
  we
