WEBVTT - Women in Power: Creating your own wealth 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:10.280 And you're listening to exactly a mada Our production of 0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:14.000 My Heart Radio. And let me get right into it, 0:00:14.040 --> 0:00:16.599 because today we're gonna be talking about a topic that 0:00:16.680 --> 0:00:20.760 really hits home, and it's about generational wealth. It's about 0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:25.119 the rise of the female CEO, talking about the importance 0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:29.760 of educating and empowering women at an early age. Um, 0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:33.920 and I'm all about pro women empowerment, be independent, get 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:38.200 your money, get educated. How are we growing together less 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:41.440 unite forces? I'm all about that. And anybody who's ever 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.559 known me knowing that I've always been like that. And 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:49.360 guess who has a little mini ceo on you know 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.480 that's on her way to become a true boss because 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.080 you know, okay, I am gonna be her personal mentor. 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:59.800 It is my co host Stevie noonez hello, And I 0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.320 am so excited in fact about it that you know 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.360 that in the US, for example, the non adjusted average 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:09.480 females annual salary is sev of the average male salary 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:13.880 compared to for the adjusted average salary. So we're gonna 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:17.600 get more into that. That's crazy. So that in fact, 0:01:17.640 --> 0:01:20.880 what I'm saying is is that the woman, the average 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:24.080 woman gets paid less than men in the United States 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:33.600 is happening right here, and they don't give us you 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:35.480 know what I'm saying like that, I feel like they 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.240 don't really appreciate us and women. We bring so much 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:43.600 value to companies, corporate um as, you know, the family aspect, 0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.800 and every single aspect you can think of. The women voice. 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.960 Women's voices are so important. So knowing all those things 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.320 that my mom had to go through in order for 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:55.640 me to have a better future really really inspired me 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.760 to have this conversation because I feel like when is 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.680 at the right time to teach your kids about being 0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:04.960 a boss, about stepping up, about working hard, about work 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:15.120 ethic development stages. I would start at five. I mean honestly, 0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:17.760 sometimes we go and we go purchase something and I 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:21.880 give her. You know, she she definitely works and she 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:26.200 definitely works around the house as far as chores are concerned. 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:30.840 And you know girls, now we're talking about girls. Girls 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:35.000 really work harder than boys. Girls do the dishes at 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.639 a young age. Girls make their bed good, girls take 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:40.519 care of it. My case, I have a junior s J, 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:43.400 which is one years old. Chloe takes care of s J. 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:48.400 So at this point she gets paid, you know, every Friday. 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:50.520 And what we do is we go out and we 0:02:50.600 --> 0:02:53.680 go shopping, and she saves a little bit of what 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:55.520 she has. She puts it in a you know, her 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.360 little piggy bag, and then she goes and she buys 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:01.520 what she needs, which is don't pop back into everyone loves. 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.200 Oh my goodness, that's like a whole thing. You know. 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:10.680 I remember. I remember that, Um, now, yes, no, yea, 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.200 I remember growing up. Um. I used to love to 0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:17.400 go to party City and they had these like colorful 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:21.160 pencils and like the fun you know, uh racers. They 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.320 were like little you know, horses or whatever it was. 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:31.800 And I used to do. God, god, I used to 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:34.840 love it was so colorful and fun and you know bright. 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.000 So um. I used to Oh my god, I used 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:38.760 to be so happy whenever my mom let me buy 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.680 some pencil alive a thousand things like that, And then 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:43.760 I will go to school and sell it for twenty 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.920 five cents, and I will come home feeling so proud, 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.400 like mommy, look, I have four quarters. Like I think this, 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.640 So I feel that I've always been an entrepreneur without 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.440 even knowing I was an entrepreneur. And then even though 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:01.800 there's a misconception of only child of the only child syndrome. 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.480 My mama was really made me work for for things. 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.640 She made me work for everything I wanted. It wasn't like, 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:12.480 don't get at me, I haven't to get freega. You 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:14.440 want to do, you have to do something for And 0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:17.120 I think that that's the first step into teaching your 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.920 kids how to become an entrepreneur, don't you agree, which 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.480 is amazing. And also, you know, investing in your child, 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.080 you know, um, really investing because it takes a village 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:31.480 to raise a child and community. I wish, I wish 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.920 that you know, especially the people that are migrated from 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:37.279 the Republic, they would bless you know, the children that 0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:38.839 are trying to come up so that they are not 0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.400 you know, stressing um and where there we're gonna get 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:50.800 their money for comment. Yes, yes, correct, But before blessing 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:54.240 the children, I think that because education plays an important part, 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:59.120 our families need to get educated first, because a lot 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.080 of our families come from poverty as well. And whenever 0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.400 they have an opportunity to have a little bit of money, 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.960 they're not thinking about generational wealth. They're thinking about themselves 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.599 and the present. And that's what I think is important 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.840 to really teach your children, and really teach and it's 0:05:13.839 --> 0:05:16.520 not just your children because you could be grown. I 0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:20.200 learned a lot of these things as an adult. Um, 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:21.840 I had to figure a lot of these things out 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:23.839 on my own. So what are the values you have 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.400 to teach them at an early age or earlier on. 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:28.240 You can still be in high school. You can still 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.560 be in your twenties and your thirties and be learning this. 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.920 I feel that as long as you're alive, you still 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.320 have an opportunity to fix whatever it is that you 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:38.200 feel you you're you haven't accomplished, and values would be 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:44.200 like learning how to be independent. Stop. This message goes 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:53.960 directly to the ladies. Number one setting. That means if 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.799 you have a man, I mean, but if you don't, 0:05:57.080 --> 0:06:00.320 I mean you could live and do with as much 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:02.839 as you can do without. That means get your own money, 0:06:03.000 --> 0:06:05.960 pay your own bills, do your own thing. Not sit 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.080 here depending on the fact that you have a pretty phase, 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:11.080 nice tips and a fat ask that they they're just 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.560 gonna maintain me. No, no, no, because the day that 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:15.839 that is over, they get to what have you? What 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:19.040 are you gonna do? So definitely learn how to be independent, 0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:23.479 learn the value of money. I think that school, the 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.960 school system is fucked up in so many ways, and 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.719 this is part of it. They teach you that. Please 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:31.960 tell me. I'm not saying don't learning. Please learn whatever 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:33.880 they teach you in school, But almost the last time 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:37.920 you use algebra and about on the top divide, why 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:42.760 don't you teach them about finances, taxes, saving your money, credit, 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.120 All those things are so important, Like, there's just so 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:50.120 many values to be taught. No, you're right, especially they 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:56.440 should implement the credit um educating people on credit, especially 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:00.120 at a younger age. I wish someone taught me on 0:07:00.760 --> 0:07:08.760 that credit is everything without credit me and a lot 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.720 of people haven't. I know people, I know people can 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.280 so that they never pay taxes, don't even know how 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.920 this works, you know, and then they're investing your money. 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.880 A lot of people because of poverty and because we 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:24.600 come from parents that didn't know any better, or they 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.720 were too busy working to try to provide for us, 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.160 which we respect and we understand. But we have the 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:31.960 ability to become better. We have been blessed with the 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:37.440 ability of saying, Okay, I'm going to educate myself because 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:39.920 now I got technology. Now I have access to other things. 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.280 And that's why I say, if you don't know something, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:46.760 if you don't progress in life, because because they don't 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:51.560 want to, because everything you've ever needed, you spend more 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:57.320 time on social media taking selfies of your ass instead 0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.320 of using that time to find ways to become better 0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.720 in life. I think I don't want to hear it, 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:07.400 but that really like yourself, knowing your value, knowing that 0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.400 you shouldn't be working for free. You know, work means 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.440 equals money, so never work for free. I mean a 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.880 lot of people and especially in our industry, amount of 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.800 we can touch on this topic because this is like 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:23.640 a big roadblock. And on the road is that we 0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:26.280 do a lot of yes, yes s yes, but then 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:28.760 we still have to provide. We still have to provide 0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:30.800 for our kids. We still have we know we want 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.839 to make it to this dream, you know. And I 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.200 feel like this is huge, especially for a women you 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.200 know that want to become actresses, that I I want to 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.320 go to Hollywood and just you know, drop there one 0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:42.880 day and just say, oh, I want to do this, 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.720 but make sure you're getting paid for your work and 0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:48.319 knowing your bad Never do anything for free unless it's 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:52.880 something that's going to bring you to the next level. Ah, 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:54.760 this is a this is but a way I am 0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:56.680 going to disagree with you, and that ask me for 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.200 two seconds. You know how many things I've done for 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.160 free in my life, A lot of things, you know, 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.280 everything and that and and that's another mistake. Sometimes you're 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.040 so busy just chasing the money that you lost opportunities 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.360 chasing the money, and those opportunities had could have doubled 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.199 that money, because a lot of times it's about being present. 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.040 You never know who's watching, you never know who's listening. 0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.880 You may sacrifice a certain amount of time of your life, 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:22.520 but that your whole life can change from one day 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.640 to the other. So I personally have done a lot 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:27.319 of things that haven't been for a lot of money. 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.240 But I've always had the vision that if I do this, 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:33.240 I know that I can benefit this other way, or 0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.960 this will come thanks to that, or whatever the case 0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:40.200 may be. So, yes, don't undervalue yourself, but also don't 0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:43.640 be chasing money and at the same time losing opportunities 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:48.040 that could get you to bigger checks. So anyways, that's 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.760 us to have a purpose, and that is a great point. 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.600 I'm out of I feel like it always does have 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.040 to have a purpose. But a lot of times we 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:59.240 are not living a purpose driven life, and we are 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.720 and that's because it's okay, it's because we didn't know. 0:10:02.160 --> 0:10:04.240 But now that you are underneath the sound of the 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.520 voice of a Mana and Stevie, we are letting you 0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.160 know that you should be living a purpose driven life 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.680 and that you should have goals and that you should 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.720 definitely be creating wealth and multiple strings of wealth, which 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.360 you've be talking about later on on this show, because 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:24.000 a Mada has a an announcement coming up. You know what, 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:25.680 As a matter of fact, I was gonna say now, 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:27.920 but I don't know if I should wait to the end. 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:30.800 Now I'm gonna say no, no, no no, no, I'm gonna 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.080 make you'll weight. But I was talking about but talking 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:38.120 about waiting. Um. Part of the reasons why I decided 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:41.480 to make that big step which I'm about to announce, um, 0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:45.360 it's because I am a huge believer in generation of wealth. 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.480 And that's one of those are the things that nobody 0:10:47.520 --> 0:10:54.880 teaches you. You know, back in the days. Latina and 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:59.880 Dominicana back in the days and are great great great 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:04.600 grandparents are ancestors used to sacrifice themselves just to own 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:07.880 a piece of land because they understood, they understood the 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:11.760 value of generational world. They understood that if I sacrifice 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:14.600 myself now and I can leave something for the next 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.200 generation to come, whether it's you know, my my my son's, 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:21.200 my daughter, my my grandchildren, I will be providing a 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.200 better future for them and they will continue the legacy 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.080 of the sacrifices that I have done today. So that's 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.920 something that we have lost. We have lost it because 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:33.040 of lack of education. We have lost it because of 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:36.320 lack of financial education. We have lost it because I 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.680 believe that with time we have gotten more greedy and 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:42.880 we think more about ourselves and more about our immediate family. 0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:47.320 Immediate like my wife, my husband, my children, my mom, 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:51.480 my dad. Yeah, so okay, cool. But then when you 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:55.559 look at these with all due respect, the way that Caucasians, right, 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.320 a lot of them work, and we obviously know this. 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.040 They like to build generation of wealth. That's why there's 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.360 these long lasting names that go on and on like 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.479 and then you go, uh, Hilton, because of the sacrifices 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.719 and the way that they have set things up. Your 0:12:11.840 --> 0:12:15.520 great great, great, great great great grandchildren will be fine 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:18.560 based off the sacrifices and the work that you did. 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:21.760 Do you get what I'm saying? Yes, absolutely. When when 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:24.760 it comes to Caucasians, since you brought it up, I 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:29.680 feel like they're they're set up to win. And we 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:32.320 know that a Latinos, we are not set up to 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.600 win because we are not the CEOs. We are not 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:40.439 and we have given they have given us the opportunity, 0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.040 you know, and um, a lot of Caucasians have given 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:46.040 us the opportune. Let's keep it real because a lot 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:49.679 of people on top are Caucasians. And but lately there's 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:53.360 been a lot of African American women that have been 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:57.320 um become CEOs of companies. That happened during the whole 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.079 Black Lives Matter movement after that and even like impact, 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.400 Um no, but directly after they was like African American 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.200 women that became like CEOs of company and stuff like that. 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:10.640 But there needs to be more of us on top. 0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:16.520 But also education goal coincides with and knowledge coincides with 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.320 your you know, look at that phase. I love that vision. 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:23.880 Like I'm trying, I'm just trying. But education coincides with 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:29.160 generational wealth and honestly, like I'm not gonna sit here complain. 0:13:29.360 --> 0:13:33.480 I'm not complaining. But I was a very intelligent young man, 0:13:33.720 --> 0:13:36.200 but I didn't qualify for a scholarship to go to college. 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:39.280 I had to, you know, pay it myself, and it 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.880 was hard. Whereas my friend that was Caucasian, like you 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.839 had said, had their family had already put aside money 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.560 in a separate bank account for them they set up 0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:53.360 so they set their kids up. And for me it 0:13:53.480 --> 0:13:56.120 was hard. It was like you had said, it was hard, 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:58.320 and I just want to get this out, okay, because 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:02.480 it was really hard to come up. And I'm driving 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.360 a little Mercury Cougar to to work and they're driving 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.760 a little BMW. It doesn't matter because it's not about 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.160 what you drive. It's about your drive and what you 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.360 have had. But I felt like like you had stated, 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.000 I'm out of you hit. A very important key point 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:20.080 was let's set up our children, and if you're listening 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:23.760 right now, let's set up our children to win. Let's 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:25.960 set up it doesn't matter if you're white, black, Asian, 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:30.160 whatever you are. Let's set up our children to win. 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:39.800 And that's a very powerful message with more of exactly 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:45.320 a mata yes and we're back, but exactly a mata um. Yes, 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.560 I do understand. I don't want to make this a 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.160 race thing, because the point of this conversation it wasn't 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:55.000 a race thing. I do understand, how um, Caucasians, which 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:59.240 we all know this, have certain privileges that minorities don't have, 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:03.240 especially people like myself, right, we don't have the same privilege. 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.840 I get all those things. I'm not discrediting that because 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:08.960 I'm from there, you know. And like I said before, 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.320 I've been through everything. I've joining Biagaza. I used to 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:14.560 clean houses with my mom. I used to sell flowers 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:16.320 in the corners of the stop of the stop of 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:20.200 the stop life. I've done everything. I used to put 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.960 flyers after the club. Me and my mom were the 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:25.120 ones putting the flyers in your in your car window, 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:27.880 um at twelve o'clock at night. I've done every single 0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:29.840 thing that you can think of to be to where 0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:31.760 to be where I am today. And that's why I'm 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:34.560 so grateful. And because I'm grateful and I've been all 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.760 the way to the bottom, I understand how bad I 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:38.840 never want to be there again. And I worked my 0:15:38.960 --> 0:15:41.800 ass off so a lot of times we can dwell 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.640 over spill milk, and it's like, oh yeah, man, I 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.840 handed that they have come from, you know, other countries 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.520 with no education, where no nothing but their dry They're 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:56.360 ambition to become successful gets them places in life. So 0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:59.200 it's like, yeah, we can keep continuing to dwell and 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.520 cry and say but it's because they don't do this. 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:03.960 It's that oh yeah, may yeah, snap out of it. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:06.840 How are we going to fix the problem. And let's 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.240 also talk about generational Wealth's a lot of time for 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.360 those that for those families that financially can't do it. 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:15.960 It's not just about the money. It's education, everything that 0:16:16.000 --> 0:16:18.800 you teach, the knowledge, the wisdom that you teach your children. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:21.400 That's also generational world because they can pass it on 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.640 from one from one generation to the other. But I 0:16:24.680 --> 0:16:29.080 think a yeah, yea momento words like how much more 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:31.520 crying are we gonna do about the things that happened 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.040 in the past? Right now, you need to work your 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:37.080 ass off and that's it, Like we all have the 0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:40.680 same twenty four hours. Yes, I'm not discrediting and I 0:16:40.720 --> 0:16:44.520 am clear that other people, other races have privileges that 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.120 we don't, and that's what we have to work twice 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:50.600 as hard. Yeah, they get it easier, of course, just 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:53.320 based off the color of their skin, they get it easier. However, 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.720 if you are driven, if you are ambitious, if you 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.480 are disciplined, if you want it, you can have whatever 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.920 it is that you want. And the same aspect goes 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.479 for education. There are many ways you can you can 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:07.800 get yourself educated. I went to college. I couldn't finish 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:11.359 either and I had to pay students, you know, so 0:17:11.560 --> 0:17:13.679 I definitely get where we're coming from. And that's, like 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:18.200 I said, that's another education educational system because we shouldn't 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:20.400 have to be paid because then you have to pay 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.000 off the school loans. If you don't pay off the 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:23.960 school loans, there goes your credit. Now our credit is 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:26.160 all messed up. Now we're trying to get the next house, 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:28.640 the next car. Now we gotta work double for that. 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.320 And it's not complaining, but I feel like it's right. 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.639 I feel like it's a system that's in place to 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.520 kind of we have to break and I respect women 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:40.000 such as yourself I'm out of that have broken barriers 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:43.040 and that have you know, fought right through all of 0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:45.840 that and you know, and I just pray that the 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.239 people such as yourself, that you know have gotten to 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:53.000 this point. Could I challenge you today to bless someone, 0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:57.040 help somebody that's educated that needs education, you know, even 0:17:57.080 --> 0:18:00.800 if it's another country, help somebody like I all you recently, 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:04.199 you just donated a bunch of supplies and stuff to 0:18:04.680 --> 0:18:06.680 a bunch of children. If you want to talk about that, 0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:12.840 that's awesome. Helping kids out, you know, helping them out 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:16.440 and tam being um. I think that it's very important 0:18:16.600 --> 0:18:19.280 for parents, right And I'm gonna say this because I 0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:21.600 don't have any children, but my mom, you know, raised 0:18:21.600 --> 0:18:24.520 an amazing woman, and I'm so grateful for what she did. 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:35.760 But I'm you gotta work, work yourself and loquez work 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:41.040 ethic discipline, So you need to take that role as well. 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:42.920 I know you're tired. I know you want a party. 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:44.080 I know you won't have a good time. I know 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.800 you're you may be tired of your damn kids for 0:18:45.840 --> 0:18:48.960 a little bit. I get all those things. But while 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.800 they're growing up, you said, lem though, this is your 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.680 moment to make sure that you always encourage them, because 0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:56.640 the more that they hear in the house, no sep 0:18:56.720 --> 0:18:59.240 with them. We can't do this. We don't get money. 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:02.040 How are we gonna do that? It's more of how 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:04.040 are we going to find a way. Let's find a way, 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:08.000 let's figure it out. Anything is possible. It's it's it 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:11.600 all starts in the mindset. You have to change the mindset. 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:16.160 The body works with the mind. You'll need to program 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.200 and force your mind to make whatever decisions it is. 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.520 And that's why I want to go to this topic, 0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:24.080 um and going back to what it is, you know, 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.359 what is making money these days? Is it working on 0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:28.919 nine five? Is it, you know, being a hustler and 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:30.800 trying to figure it out on the side, a little 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.960 side gig, a little side job. I personally haven't done 0:19:34.960 --> 0:19:38.240 in the nine five since I was like, I don't know, 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:44.440 maybe uh nineteen, because I always do personally, I don't 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:48.160 like people bossing me around before all of this, before 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:49.800 of this, Like, what was the really cool job that 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:53.120 you did, like such as myself, I did Duncan for like, 0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:57.920 oh my god, Duncan donuts and people was so much fun. 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.439 Did you take a lot of donuts home? I can regal, 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:02.600 I guess because they were so much and they were 0:20:02.640 --> 0:20:04.240 so nice, I was able to bring them home to 0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:06.320 my family. Duncan was so nice for that back then. 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.520 I don't know what they do, know it was amazing nice. 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.639 My first okay, so first, so first, when I was 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:16.200 I started working at a very very very early age, 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:19.480 little gay. I started doing taxes when I was four. Um, 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:22.880 but like a regular job. My mom used to work 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:26.680 and a rest in a restaurant. Yeah no, I don't 0:20:26.760 --> 0:20:30.040 restaurant slash supermarket. So I would put a little plastic 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:34.399 cup and then you know for the people in the 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:36.320 low cards. So I used to get no money there. 0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.199 But like, my first official job was at fifteen at 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:43.639 Target tar J. I used to Target Service Tarja. I 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:45.760 used to work there. Then I also worked at the 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.960 Risk Carlton as the receptionist and that was actually my 0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:53.720 last nine o five that that was my first see me, 0:20:53.760 --> 0:20:56.320 I'm but I guess what to get to that prestigious job. 0:20:56.359 --> 0:20:58.680 Anybody that's from Miami. I used to live in Brown 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:02.240 cub close to the Poking Beings, Opa Locka, this area 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:04.960 over here Liberty City. Um, I used to live around 0:21:04.960 --> 0:21:08.160 that area and then I would literally walk five blocks 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:11.720 then take the metro rail, which is the train all 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:14.520 the way to Civic Center. I'm just saying this for 0:21:14.600 --> 0:21:16.720 the Miami people. And then from there, I used to 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:19.000 take the Deer or the Sea bus to go all 0:21:19.000 --> 0:21:22.399 the way to South Beach to work over there because 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:29.199 I just felt like Yobiwaukee and ghetto nor My. So 0:21:29.200 --> 0:21:31.640 I will go all the way through that mission just 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:34.320 to get get to that job. So that's what I'm saying, 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:36.800 you have to sacrifice. People only see what you see 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:39.439 on social media. See Davie, you see that part, but 0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:41.680 you didn't see all the sacrifice and all the ship 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:43.640 I had to put up with to get to where 0:21:43.680 --> 0:21:46.000 I am. And just like me, I am talking about 0:21:46.040 --> 0:21:47.879 all the successful people because I feel like a lot 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:50.600 of people could be judgmental. And I'm not saying if 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:53.400 you come from mommy and daddy who gave you the money. No, 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:56.920 I'm saying for those that came from nothing and became 0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:00.800 something I would love to see, let's not just mimic 0:22:00.920 --> 0:22:05.760 their success. Now, let's mimic their process to become successful. 0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.359 So anyways, part of that is, yes, you may have 0:22:09.400 --> 0:22:11.240 a nine of five. Go have your nine of five 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:13.400
