So like when I was 85 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: at my last company, um I had, I had a 86 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: white Caucasian woman asked me.

And that's that's like like it really 91 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,480 Speaker 1: over my eyes, like to piggy back off a boy. 92 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 1: He was just like every day it's a real struggle. 93 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: And I feel like since that time, like it's really 94 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: been a struggle with me. You see a white guy 95 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: with tattoos, he's an artist, white guy with tattoos kind 96 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: of how do you feel about being I'm like, oh 97 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 1: you finished, yea, how do you feel about being him? Back? Man, 98 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 1: If I can describe being a black man, you don't 99 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 1: need say some of America one word. It's tough. It's 100 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: tough to be a black man in America. Opportunities. All 101 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 1: us at this table got degrees, but they y'all good 102 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: looking black man, Well we're from it. It's about yeah, 103 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: we ten degrees at this table. He's straight, but at 104 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,799 Speaker 1: the end of the day, we gotta be ten times better. 105 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,720 Speaker 1: And everything we do when we get these um these 106 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: rooms with people that's competing for different positions, we gotta 107 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: be ten times better, we gotta look ten times better, 108 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: we gotta be ten times smarter, you know. But then 109 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 1: we still get overlooked, and we still gotta push forward, 110 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: you know. And I don't think it's fair, but that's 111 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: something that we just gotta deal with. And that's just 112 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: something that you know, it's it's sad to say, but 113 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: it's a it's the normal. We just gotta figure out 114 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: where we fit in and find an opportunity, whereas our 115 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: white counterparts or people that's not black. It's just ten 116 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: times easier. I'd have been in a different situation where 117 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: you know, I gotta clean myself up for like a 118 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: month straight to prepare for a job interview. When I 119 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: get in with the other candidates and these other guys 120 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: talking about I don'tven went out the night before and 121 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: did cocaine and and and that's just we like, I'm like, damn, 122 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: that's it's difficult to be black. And just to say 123 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 1: the least I can describe in one word, it's it's 124 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: just difficult. I ain't gonna get too deep in it. 125 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 1: We just had June team everybody hopefully you know everyone, 126 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 1: and did they research on the Black American brother?

I 342 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: And to pick up off that the one man that's 343 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: going around right now, I mean, the one man that's 344 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 1: going around is America better be lucky that black people 345 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:08,479 Speaker 1: only want quality, say, and not revenge.

I asked you some 466 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: questions about your upbringing. So what is something your father 467 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,800 Speaker 1: taught y'all that you appreciate? Now, yeah, you're really close 468 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: with your can go first, just stay solid, like I think, 469 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: man like. I was raised in the household where I moved. 470 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 1: I moved with my father at thirteen, so I lived 471 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: my mom for the first first twelve years of my life. 472 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,240 Speaker 1: Age thirteen, I moved with Popes and me and him 473 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: grew up together. He was going through a divorce. He 474 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,880 Speaker 1: taught me everything, man like that Nigga is literally saved 475 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: my life. And I say this all the time, Like 476 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: a lot of people grew up admiring superhero right that 477 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 1: man was my superhero. He's my superhero. He like he 478 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: like looking at him and seeing the ship he went through. 479 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: He never folded with anything, never folded, went through a 480 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: whole lot of it. And I think the biggest, the 481 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,280 Speaker 1: biggest lesson he taught me was stay solid, the lord 482 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: of people, that you should be lord to to a fault, 483 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: and just how to interact like I was. I learned 484 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: how to cod switch at a at a very young age. 485 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I learned how to I 486 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,480 Speaker 1: learned how to walk in any room and fit in. 487 00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So that's that's that's probably 488 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:30,160 Speaker 1: my biggest lesson from popst me at the fight. God 489 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: it he no, but but for real, like he taught 490 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 1: me a whole bunch of stuff and I would consider 491 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,800 Speaker 1: him like one of my best friends because we had 492 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: open conversations. But like on you you will with your 493 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: pops when you were thirteen. I left the house when 494 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: my pops when I was too thirteen, So that kind 495 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 1: of shook me up a little bit. But he really 496 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: just what he told me was just like how to 497 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: take care of ship, how to handle ship because it's wild, 498 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,120 Speaker 1: is it sounds like I've been raised with the phrase 499 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: women and children on first, you come last, and move 500 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,040 Speaker 1: according and then when you do, when you look like 501 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: that and you think like that, you make sure everything 502 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,719 Speaker 1: around you with solid and whatever I'm dealing with, I mean, 503 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 1: we still got ship we deal with. But once I 504 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: make sure y'all good, because he made sure we was 505 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: good growing up.

But you gotta 512 00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: hold it down for the fan. You gotta hold it now. 513 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: That's real good ship happy fathers that my nig Yeah, man, 514 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: I make the ship ship. But sure I ain't had 515 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 1: no father, you know. Yeah, it's tough. It ain't tough 516 00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 1: growing up when you a certain individual. I believe because 517 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 1: I think I was certain individual. I had good strong 518 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: woman in my house, Um, hard working women who took 519 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,520 Speaker 1: care of the business. Shout out to the single mother 520 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 1: mother diferent. Don't let him get a babysitting. They're gonna 521 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: baby over with go ahead. But I do think that 522 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,080 Speaker 1: a black man in americuld need some form of a 523 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 1: male figure in their life, you know. So I was 524 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 1: fortunate enough to have that in fourth grade until this day. 525 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 1: So in fourth grade, I'm at a mentor and a 526 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:47,880 Speaker 1: father figure who who did father fatherly things until this day, 527 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: and I would I'm a firm believer that I wouldn't 528 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 1: be when I'm at it wasn't for him, you know, 529 00:32:56,400 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: and and talk for why out earlier, you know, I 530 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: had to call and wish my opple father's day. But 531 00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,960 Speaker 1: other than that, you know, a black man needs is following. 532 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,560 Speaker 1: That's what my situation is. It's I think it's prevalent 533 00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:21,160 Speaker 1: across America with black kids, because the black man get 534 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: taken away early, you know, away from the black filet 535 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: get away to get taken away early, and they with 536 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:33,080 Speaker 1: their kids. But that's another topic. But I think I 537 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,360 Speaker 1: was fortunate and and I'm lucky, you know, because I 538 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 1: could have looked up to drug deals with folk bank 539 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:43,560 Speaker 1: rolls in their pockets with twenty falls on the Chevy. 540 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,520 Speaker 1: And that's what I saw before I met Mama. My 541 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 1: mentor and father figure. And he showed me that education 542 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 1: was away and and it's been up from now. So 543 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: that's real. That's my story about you. Your blood. Oh 544 00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,040 Speaker 1: I was um no, I mean and my father we 545 00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 1: had a solid relationship. Um talk to you about this before. 546 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: So like me and my me and my pops. My 547 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 1: my pops wanted to leave my mom. They got divorced 548 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,319 Speaker 1: my moms too, So like for me, I never seen 549 00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: my mother and like and uh intimacy type of relationship 550 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:32,600 Speaker 1: with another man. I never seen it to this day. 551 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:38,160 Speaker 1: So like when my pops left, you know, I had 552 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,919 Speaker 1: questions like why why why are your mom didn't leave? 553 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,359 Speaker 1: I mean, why why are your mom did like stay 554 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,400 Speaker 1: together and all this stuff. When I was a short you, 555 00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 1: I'll never diet. Some moms to short you, But I 556 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 1: never would ask me because like I had that much 557 00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 1: respect in my pops, like like whatever my whatever my 558 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 1: dad say, it goes because I fear to me. I 559 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,200 Speaker 1: feared the man like like like he became like religion 560 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: in the household. So when we when we would go 561 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: visiting him, it was his word or nothing, and like 562 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: he was real stern and like it almost felt like 563 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:19,320 Speaker 1: he didn't like have a care in the world like 564 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,920 Speaker 1: in regard, but he loved his kids. So he his 565 00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:28,439 Speaker 1: way of showing us love it like like buying the ship, 566 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 1: you know, like like buying us, buying us things, and 567 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,799 Speaker 1: having us like chill. So a lot of a lot 568 00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: of other conversations that like a few of my girls 569 00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:43,200 Speaker 1: and had when they with their pops, I didn't have 570 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 1: it like. So I think I look at my older 571 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: brother as more as more of a like father figure 572 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,160 Speaker 1: to me um and my mom, you know, like my mom. 573 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: My mom coached me like as I got older on 574 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: how to treat man or like how you carry yourself 575 00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:04,799 Speaker 1: out in the street. I really didn't learn that from 576 00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: my possible he was around, and I think I think 577 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,800 Speaker 1: we just we missed that era to where like or 578 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 1: maybe I was too vulnerable to like I wasn't vulnerable 579 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: enough to like open up to him and express like 580 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: how I felt about their relationship and you know ship 581 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,200 Speaker 1: like that. But I've seen my pops with other women, 582 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, But I never I never 583 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:30,960 Speaker 1: seen my mom like like real intimate again with another 584 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: man and like enjoying us. So it was just all 585 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: about kids. So so yeah, I missed a lot. So 586 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:42,279 Speaker 1: I learned as I go from like my guys than 587 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,919 Speaker 1: if you don't mommy asking like how do you feel 588 00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: today about your pops. You just mentioned earlier that you 589 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: know he was like god growing up.

So like at 592 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:06,759 Speaker 1: the time, like my my dad was like he was 593 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,279 Speaker 1: he was like like he was like a real guy. 594 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:13,440 Speaker 1: Like at the time, he was like working out. He 595 00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 1: was like physical and like he should like make us 596 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: like like physical kids. It wasn't, no, we need to 597 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:25,120 Speaker 1: talk about like anything other than sports, you know what 598 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 1: I'm saying. It wasn't It was like you do this 599 00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,400 Speaker 1: or nothing type thing like he that's kind of like 600 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,759 Speaker 1: what he is. Still like you gotta be tough. You 601 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:37,360 Speaker 1: shouldn't be crying over there. So you can't like express 602 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:41,600 Speaker 1: yourself over this because it could be it can show 603 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 1: you one of my really trying it. It can show 604 00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:46,839 Speaker 1: like a sign of it can show like a sign 605 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,320 Speaker 1: of weakness and the sense. So I learned that. I 606 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 1: learned that from my pops for a while, but my 607 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,440 Speaker 1: brother kind of broke me in that sense that like 608 00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,800 Speaker 1: I saw him love on his wife, like like his 609 00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: current wife. Now, like you know what I'm saying, I 610 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: got something crazy that I'm just thinking about. So basically, 611 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 1: none of us have really lived with our fathers our 612 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: entire life. Four household. So it's four men at this 613 00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:28,280 Speaker 1: table that didn't have uh, their dad in the house 614 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: their entire life when they moved out and became grown. 615 00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,160 Speaker 1: But I don't see how much that ship can affect you. 616 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: Like imagine you're having a kid and you leave it, 617 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 1: but you know how much more you can, like you 618 00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,480 Speaker 1: leave in whatever, you know how much more you can 619 00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:45,399 Speaker 1: give that kid. So that's another thing that we gotta 620 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:51,000 Speaker 1: deal with, you know what I'm saying, Like imagine, like damn, 621 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: my shorty, me and me and my all, me and 622 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 1: my wife, me and my girl.

I think I think more so we did. 646 00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: We didn't talk about finances. Yeah, so I learned. I 647 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,319 Speaker 1: learned the hard way, and I'm appreciative of the way 648 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:22,120 Speaker 1: I've learned because now I can change that trajectory for 649 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,800 Speaker 1: my family.

I'm gonna say, Um, you know, that's a 700 00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:15,200 Speaker 1: chain that has to be broken. I'm gonna say what 701 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:19,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do for my son that I have if 702 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:25,280 Speaker 1: I want him to say that his father taught him everything, 703 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 1: because I think it's called learned behavior. I know a 704 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 1: couple of guys who would have got into marriages and 705 00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 1: never left because that's what they saw their father did. 706 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,399 Speaker 1: They father never left, and I have had deep conversations 707 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: with them when they said, man, my mother was tough 708 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:50,320 Speaker 1: in the household, difficult to be around with my father. 709 00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: But my father still stayed and he still you know, 710 00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,359 Speaker 1: stayed the course, and he still worked hard every day. 711 00:43:57,400 --> 00:44:01,520 Speaker 1: He still taught us finances, He still taught us how 712 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,480 Speaker 1: to be a husband.

So I 715 00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 1: can't answer that because the guy that raised me, it 716 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,400 Speaker 1: was not my father. He had to deal with his 717 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,560 Speaker 1: own household, but he really sacrifice to be there for 718 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 1: me and my my brother because he also helped my 719 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:28,560 Speaker 1: brother out too.
