Speaker 2: You guys loved all that I shared about personal branding

8
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,279
Speaker 2: and showing up, but I also get a lot of

9
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: questions about.

10
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: My business because I am a businesswoman.

11
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: Since I was younger, I used to always just know

12
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: that it could be done, but I do know that

13
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 2: it's not everyone's vantish point. So today's sweeties, we're talking

14
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: about doing it all and what that really looks like.

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: As I said in the last episode, a lot.

16
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 2: Of people feel like they need to have everything figured

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: out before they show up, and that is just not

18
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 2: the truth.

19
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 3: Oh, social media is popping.

20
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 4: We got you know, you're doing the work, you got

21
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 4: your team, But you are like that girl, Like you

22
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 4: are really that girl you are.

23
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: I mean you're everything.

24
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 4: You have fashion, act, singing, your hair, Caro Line, a

25
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 4: soccer team owner, you're investing, you have your foundation which

26
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 4: is focused on financial literacy, and I mean it's so

27
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 4: much unfolding. There's a phrase that people always say jack

28
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 4: of all trade, master of none, but your journey. I

29
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 4: just feel like that doesn't apply. So when you hear

30
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 4: that idea, especially as someone who's been able to build

31
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 4: excellent and I mean just amazing across platforms, what.

32
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 3: Do you say to that.

33
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: I got a scripture for you, the Good Book of Romans.

34
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: Come on now, chapter twelve. Let me open this thing up.

35
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 2: You got a scripture too, so Romans, Chapter twelve, verse six.

36
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: In his grace, God has given us different gifts to

37
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: do certain things well. So if God has given you

38
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith

39
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: as God has given you. If your gift is serving others,

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: serve them well. If you're a teacher, teach well. If

41
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: your gift is to encourage, be encouraging. If your gift

42
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: is giving gift generously. If God has given you leadership ability,

43
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift

44
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: for showing kindness, do it gladly. Don't pretend to love others,

45
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: really love them. Hate what is wrong, hold tightly to

46
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and

47
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: take light in honoring each other. Don't be lazy, but

48
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: work hard. And serve the Lord enthusiastically.

49
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm in the book. I'm in the book.

50
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: He says He's given us different gifts, so do them well.

51
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: So I don't believe in that. I'm not a monolith.

52
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: I don't subscribe to that.

53
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 2: You can't box me in, and anything I do, I'm

54
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 2: gonna do it well.

55
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm not half aasking on anything.

56
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: So I feel like, if you're gonna do it and

57
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 2: God has given you the ability to do it, do

58
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 2: it well, and do it enthusiastically.

59
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: So I love that scripture.

60
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 2: I live by that, and I feel like anybody who

61
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: works with me knows like that is who I am.

62
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: Operated excellence or don't do it?

63
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think that you not mastered?

64
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: Maybe?

65
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: But is there a certain point to where you like

66
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 4: get somewhere and you say, Okay, I'm good. That's good

67
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: enough that I can go start a new thing, because

68
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: there is There are some people you look at and

69
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 4: you're like, day, ain't gonna started another thing. They ain't

70
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 4: even do the Yeah, what is the balance for that?

71
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 3: You think? For someone that's like, Okay.

72
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 4: I really like doing this, but now I kind of

73
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 4: want to do this, but I don't want to look,

74
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 4: what are your advice to them on that?

75
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: You know, you have to figure out there's a time

76
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: and place for everything. Figure out, okay, and this season,

77
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: I'm working on this, you know. And sometimes it's multiple

78
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: things that you're working on, but you're having to carve

79
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: out the time and really balance it all so that

80
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: nothing's getting left on the back burner.

81
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: For me, that back burner sometimes.

82
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: Music, I've been working on music for like two years now,

83
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: but it's like getting in the studio and then I

84
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 2: gotta go film or I gotta go travel. It's like

85
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: so many different things come up where it's like we

86
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: got to carve out the time to get back in

87
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: the studio.

88
00:03:58,320 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: So music has been that.

89
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 2: One thing where I'm like, I gotta like just carve

90
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: out the same way I do my blackout dates, I

91
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 2: have to carve out studio time dates so that we

92
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 2: can get some music done. But I feel like you

93
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: have to really just carve out the time for whatever

94
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: it is that you want to do. And if you

95
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: realize I'm not giving this one hundred percent, maybe that's

96
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: not the thing you need to be focused on.

97
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 3: You know.

98
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 2: And sometimes if it's just you, you gotta do what

99
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 2: you can do and know your limits. A lot of

100
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: times we put more on our plates than we can

101
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: actually eat, literally, and we need to know how to

102
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: course out those servings. Something a money from Culture kN

103
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: asked me. I went to do Culture Con last year

104
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 2: and she said, Crystal, how are you doing it all?

105
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 2: And I said, it's like dinner, you get different servings,

106
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: course it out. I was like, you're not gonna have

107
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: some people do You're not gonna have your your salad,

108
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: your meal, and your dessert all on one plate.

109
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: You're going to course it out.

110
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: So I think the main thing is understanding what serving

111
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: you are or what course you're on in your life.

112
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: I like that you reference the music and you know

113
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 4: the time span of you know, working on it, what

114
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,799
Speaker 4: in you. But you're still a singer, right and people

115
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 4: still relate to you for the music. So was that

116
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 4: a defining moment for you or it's like, okay, I'm

117
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 4: doing acting. You felt weird calling yourself a singer mute?

118
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 4: Like was there ever a time for that? And people

119
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 4: that feel like that is your what can you encourage

120
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 4: them to like?

121
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 3: You still got it? You just got to do it,

122
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying no.

123
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 2: There wasn't ever a time where I didn't want to

124
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 2: call myself one or the other. It was more so

125
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: finding the time, you know. And I think it really

126
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 2: hit me when we had our live show in Washington,

127
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 2: DC last November and I was singing cover songs and

128
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: I told Deshaun and West, I was like, I don't

129
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: want to do this next time when we go on tour.

130
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 2: I want to have my own original music. So it

131
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: it almost to be like a live concert where I'm

132
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: putting out my own.

133
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: Music versus singing other people's music.

134
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 2: We can still incorporate other people's music because I'm influenced

135
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: by so many different people and I love all different

136
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 2: types of music, but it's something about having your own.

137
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 2: And I think in that moment, I realize now is

138
00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: the time to focus on this.

139
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: But for me, I have to have that. I have

140
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: to have that function or like okay, it's time to go.

141
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: I have to feel it.

142
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 3: You know.

143
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: It's not just like Okay, I'm gonna get in the studio.

144
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: I can't do that. Like I have to feel.

145
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: And there's moments where I'm like, hey, Wes, we got

146
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: to go. You know where going to hit me. So

147
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: I think the main thing is just knowing that time.

148
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good.

149
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 3: So how do you know?

150
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 4: How do you personally know when something is an extension

151
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 4: of your brand versus something you're interested in, which I

152
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: think again, you've done very well again from we talked

153
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 4: about posting in the last episode, about how your instagram

154
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 4: told the story and everything you know flew together came together.

155
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 3: But how do you know that? And when you feel that,

156
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: do you kind of just like it's a hobby?

157
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: Do you have hobbies? That's good?

158
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: I am.

159
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 2: How do I know if it's an extension of my

160
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: brand or if you just like just like it if

161
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 2: it's not something I organically do, it's an extension? You know,

162
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: I like a lot of things, but like, what is

163
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: a part of my brand? You see it in my

164
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: daily life, in my daily walk, and I think that's

165
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: how I can identify it. When people bring soup to me,

166
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, is this something I actually do this? You know,

167
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: we had a meeting today and they were like, well,

168
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 2: we noticed you do this.

169
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh yeah, like we could.

170
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 2: Do that too, because it is a part of who

171
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 2: I am, versus like, oh yeah, I like doing that.

172
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 2: But if I don't do it all the time, then

173
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: that's not really my thing.

174
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, so you kind of covered it, but just like

175
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 4: to get a bit more specific for people that feel like,

176
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 4: again they're in that pressure tank, maybe this one thing

177
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 4: isn't making as much money as the other one. Have

178
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 4: you ever felt that you had to narrow it down

179
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 4: and when you felt like that, did you try it

180
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: and you were like no, y'all get me out this box?

181
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 4: Or like you said, are you storting out every time?

182
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 4: Are there different instances for that?

183
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: I think it depends on the season you are in

184
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: your life, you know.

185
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: I mean, and this is in so many areas, not

186
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 2: just work and building a brand. There's times where you're

187
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: focused on relationship love, whatever that may be. There's times

188
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 2: where you may be just focus on business and building

189
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: your brand and trying to get to where you're trying

190
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: to get to. There may be times where like I'm

191
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: in my saving season, you know, I'm trying to be

192
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: more physically responsible. There's times I feel like in every

193
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 2: season there's a time where you're focusing on one thing

194
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: more than the other. You know, and you may have

195
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: a lot of different things going on, but the main

196
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: thing is the main thing. If it's business, it's business,

197
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: you know. And for me being transparent, I realize, like

198
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 2: things take the back seat because I'm so driven on

199
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: my business.

200
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: Love takes a back seat.

201
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: I don't have the capacity for a lot of things

202
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 2: when I'm focused on this, you know, like, can't you

203
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:46,599
Speaker 2: see what I got this?

204
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: This is I'm trying to stady for this, and I

205
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: got this. It's so many different things going on, but I.

206
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: Get fuel from it, you know, like I love all

207
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: the things happening, and it's like, Okay, we got this going,

208
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 2: we got this going on feet off of it. But

209
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 2: I noticed that when if I'm focused on one thing

210
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: too much, something is gonna take the backseat. And I

211
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: think as an entrepreneur, as anybody who's in business, you

212
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: kind of just become okay with that to an extent

213
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: and don't allow yourself to feel guilty about it, and

214
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:19,839
Speaker 2: then just carve out seasons. We're like, okay, you no,

215
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: I've focused on that. Now I'm focused on this, you know.

216
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 2: So I don't know about like feeling boxing or just

217
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 2: focusing on one thing. I feel like it's just a

218
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: season for everything. Yeah, And I'm still struggling.

219
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 4: With that question, like are you just okay with it?

220
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 4: Because naturally that's just how things line up. Is if

221
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 4: you're giving one hundred and ten to something, something else

222
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 4: is gonna fall.

223
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. You mean people always say you can't have it all.

224
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: You know, You're like, yes, I can.

225
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: No, you can't.

226
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: Something is you know, like you're gonna have to learn

227
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 2: to delegate or kind of back off of something to

228
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: make time for something else.

229
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: And it's something I struggle with.

230
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 2: I'm still struggling with it, you know, because things are

231
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: popping and like even like if you look at my schedule,

232
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 2: it's like every hour there's something like I had to

233
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 2: like I gotta got to be out here because I

234
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: got a study session at six, you know, like for

235
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 2: the moment I wake up, it's something happening, whether they

236
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 2: see it on the calend or not. Like I have

237
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: like everything is yeah, and I'm very detail oriented in

238
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 2: that way where like I have to write everything out.

239
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: I like to check it off.

240
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 2: It's something very satisfying when I cross it out that

241
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 2: I've completed it. But I'm so driven and the thing

242
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: that is feeding me right now is is me fulfilling

243
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 2: all my dreams and seeing it come true and seeing

244
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 2: my prayers being answered where nothing really can distract me

245
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 2: right now, you know. And I feel like it's been

246
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 2: like this for god the last six years really or

247
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: maybe honestly, no, last ten years. Yeah, since I was

248
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: like really started like living out my purpose and seeing

249
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 2: things finally happening, because you go through these seasons where

250
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 2: you're like, gosh, it's not happening. What is you know

251
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, When is it gonna break? When am

252
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: I gonna have my moment? And then when it hits,

253
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 2: it's like, this is what I've been praying for.

254
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: I gotta hit it.

255
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 2: I gotta strike while the irons hot because one day

256
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: they're not gonna be called me. That that creeps in,

257
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 2: you know, and you're like, I gotta make sure that

258
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: I make every single moment count, so I don't.

259
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: I'm unapologetic about it. That's the season I'm living in.

260
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: But I also can be.

261
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 2: Honest and say that I am aware that certain aspects

262
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: of my life are taking a back seat.

263
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 4: We're gonna get to that, but before we get off

264
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 4: of that, I am always just so intrigued by actresses

265
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 4: and things because I'm like they really are remembering all

266
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 4: of these lines like you are. I don't think people

267
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 4: understand the intensity of being a star of your caliber

268
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 4: and what that looks like.

269
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: So being a businesswoman and then you have this creative side,

270
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 3: how how do do you practice any my?

271
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 4: I guess how could someone that's like, I'm a creative

272
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 4: but I'm also a business person?

273
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: How do you what do you practice to.

274
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 4: I guess not shut off the business side when you're

275
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 4: in that mode, But I mean, you couldn't be thinking

276
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 4: about all these thousand things on set, So what does

277
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 4: that look like for you?

278
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: But I do you do?

279
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 2: I'll be on the side like really, yeah, I mean

280
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: it's just a part of it. I mean heavy is

281
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 2: the crown, you know, Heavy is the head that where

282
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: is the crown?

283
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: And it paid? You got to pay the cost to

284
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: be the boss.

285
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 2: And sometimes while you're working on one passion, this ain't stopping,

286
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 2: you know, so like things still have to happen.

287
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: So I think.

288
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 2: For me, like even right now, like I start filming

289
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: next week. Normally I shut everything down like the two

290
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 2: weeks leading up, but my schedule has been so busy

291
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 2: I haven't been given that to be able to like

292
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: just shut down, so scheduling, making sure that Okay, when

293
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 2: I leave here, I'm carving out my two hours. When

294
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 2: I wake up, I'm studying, so like in order to

295
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: fit in what I need to fit in, so that

296
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: while I'm filming, everything is taken care of. I have

297
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: to sacrifice and really like make how they always say

298
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: you and Beyonce had the same amount of hours in

299
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 2: the day. I have to make sure that I maximize

300
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:17,679
Speaker 2: every single hour, and it is hard. Sometimes It's like

301
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: I had to spray magnesium on my hands and feet

302
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 2: every night just to shut my brain down because I

303
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 2: will be running lines in my sleep, like close my

304
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: eyes and like Angela, and I'm like, what is happening?

305
00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 2: Because these I mean, I have twenty episodes. Sisters is

306
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 2: twenty two episodes.

307
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: And these words.

308
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: I had to know all these lines because on day one,

309
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: I'm shooting from episode one to episode nineteen. So it's

310
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 2: not like, Okay, I know this day, I'm just gonna

311
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,920

00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: know all twenty Like it's a lot of information. Then

313
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 2: I have to come and have a conversation with you

314
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: while I'm still trying to hold all this information I've

315
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: been memorizing for the last month.

316
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,079
Speaker 1: So that when I get on set, I can live

317
00:13:59,120 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: in it.

318
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm reciting and reading off piece of paper.

319
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 2: So it is so much that goes into it that

320
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 2: people don't. They look like, Oh, she's just easy.

321
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 1: It's no.

322
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 2: It's a lot of hard work and a lot of preparation,

323
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: a lot of focus, and to even be who I

324
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 2: am and be this character that people have fallen in

325
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 2: love with takes a level of being able to shut

326
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: out everything that is going on and be present on

327
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 2: that set, to be able to evoke the emotion that

328
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: makes people be like, oh my god, I really feel her.

329
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: I see what she's going through, but they don't know

330
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: the things I've had to shut out in real life

331
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 2: to be able to tap into that to give that emotion,

332
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: you know. And I recently I remember doing a scene

333
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: and as I was talking, I was speaking to the

334
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 2: character and y kJ Smith, and I was so present

335
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 2: in it, I didn't realize that the character was speaking

336
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 2: to Crystal, and I could see myself.

337
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, this is me and I literally was like

338
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: tearing up and then there's are you crying?

339
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 2: I'm like yeah, but I was so present because I

340
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 2: was able to shut everything out and really like sit

341
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 2: in it. And it happened so many times because I

342
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 2: was able to finally just like be and not have

343
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 2: to feel like, Okay, I gotta I gotta do everything.

344
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 2: And I was able to kind of okay, when I'm

345
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: in the chair just having a little break, I can

346
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: take my text messages and like everything good, all right,

347
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be.

348
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: But it's it's a lot to be able to shut

349
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: it off.

350
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 3: It is season. It was season that comes from the

351
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: reps because you have the reps.

352
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm a girl, so I love repetition, like that's

353
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: how I learned everything. And thank God to have a

354
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 2: photographic memory. I can like see the lines on the

355
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 2: pages like ash. I can know like for the page

356
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: because I can see it.

357
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 4: So you talk about we talked about how things I've

358
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 4: gone to back burner, right, and you talk I think

359
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 4: you're doing really well about being transparent. People feel like

360
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 4: they know you, but at the same time, it's like, y'all,

361
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 4: I don't know my business for real. So your circle

362
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 4: is tight if you know, you know all those things.

363
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 4: How have you been able to be so transparent and

364
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 4: relatable while still maintaining that privacy.

365
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 2: You have the right to tell people what you want

366
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: to tell them, you know, and I think that you

367
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 2: have to make a conscious decision what you want to share.

368
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: Everything isn't for everybody.

369
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 2: And I'm very intentional about the things that i want

370
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 2: to hold close to my heart, and that's my relationship

371
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 2: whoever I'm in a relationship with until I'm ready to

372
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: share that, if I'm even in a relationship, you know.

373
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 2: Those are things that I think I had to learn

374
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: the hard way because I was such an open book

375
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: at one point, and then I realized I share so

376
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: much certain things. It's okay to keep it to yourself, Crystal,

377
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: And it's not being secretive, it's just no, I just

378
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: it's not your business, honestly, you know. And until I'm

379
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: ready to share those things, I feel like it's okay.

380
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 2: And what I've noticed is that it keeps peace in

381
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 2: those relationships. There's less distractions and less input from people

382
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 2: who aren't even in it, you know, so that you

383
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 2: can actually get to know the person for yourself.

384
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: And I think that's very important.

385
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 2: But it's really just figuring out, Okay, what do I

386
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: want to share, and I am I'm an open book

387
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 2: about what I'm going through.

388
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: I'm an open book about business.

389
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 2: I'm an open book about where I am in my faith,

390
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: walk my you know what I'm saying. When I backslide,

391
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 2: when I pick it up and figure it out again,

392
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 2: you know. And I think it's important to show people

393
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: the human side of you. But showing people who you

394
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 2: are doesn't always mean you got to like disclose everything.

395
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good.

396
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 4: I feel like your discernment is very, very high and

397
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 4: very good for someone that feels like maybe they aren't

398
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 4: practicing that will or you know, they don't know what

399
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 4: discernment is or is that something you think that you're

400
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 4: born with or you think it's something that life or

401
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 4: do you think it's something that can be I guess

402
00:17:58,080 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 4: created or cultivated it.

403
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 2: So, honestly, for me, I feel like every woman is

404
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: born with their gut, instincts or intuition as they say,

405
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 2: I believe that is a gift that we've been given.

406
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,640
Speaker 2: But when it comes to discernment, for me, that has

407
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 2: been with my growth in my relationship with God and

408
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: having that constant conversation and communication with Him to like know,

409
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 2: like okay, this is for me or I have a

410
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 2: good feeling about this.

411
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: What I do know is that God is not the

412
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: author of confusion.

413
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 2: So anytime I feel a little confusion about it, I

414
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 2: take a seatback, you know. But I don't know if

415
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 2: it's something that can be taught definitely can be cultivated

416
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 2: through For me, I don't know what everybody else's experience

417
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 2: has been, but for me, it's been cultivated in my

418
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 2: relationship with Christ.

419
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: But I will say, you can go through things and

420
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: still not learn a lesson.

421
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: And I think we've all been there where we like,

422
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 2: you know again, it's like how did I get Lord?

423
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: I told you if you got me out this last,

424
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do it again, and here we go, you know.

425
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: So I don't think it's one of those things that

426
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 2: it can be taught. I do feel like experience is

427
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 2: a great lesson for a lot of people, but that

428
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily build discernment.

429
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, we talk about like being not being transparent, and

430
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 4: you know, I mean about being transparent for those people

431
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 4: that just like, okay, I want to be popping. And

432
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 4: we see online people are like speeling their whole you know, everybody,

433
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 4: you know, they hold all the tea, Right, Yeah, what

434
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 4: would you say the people who want to maintain privacy

435
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 4: but still want to build real connection online, Because again

436
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 4: I think you do very well at that. But then

437
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 4: there's the flip side of people that have I mean,

438
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 4: we know A to Z the whole story, right, and

439
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 4: some people just not like that, but they still want

440
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 4: to show up and connect and do that.

441
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 3: What is some of your advice to them?

442
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, and not say to each his own, you know, like,

443
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: if that's what you want to do, that's what you

444
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 2: want to do. And for some people it works, you know,

445
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: but for me, I feel like for the person who

446
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,959
Speaker 2: wants to you know what I'm saying, have that presence

447
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: online and share some things figuring out is what you

448
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 2: want to share. Set your boundaries, Like if you do

449
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 2: want to keep certain things private, just know that, hey,

450
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 2: I'm not crossing this line.

451
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about this. This is off

452
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: the table.

453
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 3: Even when you do.

454
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: Interviews, just let people know, hey, I don't want to

455
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: talk about this. We can talk about that.

456
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, I feel like just setting your boundaries with

457
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: yourself is the main thing. But honestly, when you get

458
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 2: on there, like it's just a lot like I don't

459
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 2: think everybody needs to know everything. You know, is it

460
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 2: going to help anybody when they finish watching this video?

461
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 2: Are they going to be impacted for the better or

462
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 2: is it going to push and to go do something

463
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 2: that they shouldn't do. I think carrying that responsibility when

464
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 2: you get on the phone or get on a microphone,

465
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 2: whatever the case may be, thinking about how it's going

466
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 2: to be received on the other side is very important.

467
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: That's good.

468
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 4: So this is Susney Levin Keep It Positive, Sweetie. That's

469
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,680

00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 4: the sweeties. So I'm not gonna say you were one

471
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 4: of the you were the first, of course, but I

472
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 4: think that you made us women feel very confident and

473
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 4: boldly about just sharing about Christ and what God was

474
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 4: doing and all these things when you first came up

475
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 4: with Keep It Positive, Sweetie, and it was cool, like

476
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 4: I said, to scroll back and see you like say

477
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 4: I got some for y'all, I got some for y'all,

478
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 4: and just saying like the graphics shange and all those

479
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 4: things we talked about on the previous episode.

480
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: Did you.

481
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 3: Of course you're a big dreamer and stuff, but did

482
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 3: you see eleven seasons.

483
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: Girl, I didn't even see the first season. Somebody had

484
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: to show it to me. I was like, a podcast.

485
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 2: I don't know about that because I was such a

486
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 2: private person. And it was Devel who brought it to

487
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: my attention. When he looked at my social media, he

488
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 2: was like, I really don't.

489
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: Know who you are.

490
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 2: He's like, you have these cool videos, like I know

491
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 2: you'd like to cook, you like do your hair and makeup,

492
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: but it's all like voiceovers. Really seeing your personality and

493
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 2: he said, and you are really dope and funny.

494
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: He said, you know how funny you are. And I'm like,

495
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: I've been.

496
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 2: Telling people I'm funny and he was like, nah, for

497
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 2: you need to show more your personality. And then when

498
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: it came to the podcast, my manager at the time,

499
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 2: she was like, it's time and I.

500
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: Was like, I don't know if I'm ready for that.

501
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 2: That's a lot, you know, and it is a lot

502
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: of transparency, a lot of sharing and moments that I

503
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 2: had to be ready to share. You know, that wouldn't

504
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 2: only impact me. They impacted people that may be on

505
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: the other side of that story, you know. So when

506
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,880
Speaker 2: we talked about that, you would writing a book. So, yeah,

507
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: I eleven seasons. I don't know if I can say

508
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,880
Speaker 2: that I actually saw that in the future. I'm grateful

509
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: for what we have built with this platform, but even

510
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: getting season one was a lot for me.

511
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, what made you say yes?

512
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: Though?

513
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 4: Of course the balance, But what made you actually like

514
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: hit it, like Okay, let's get the cameras, let's get

515
00:22:59,560 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 4: the art.

516
00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: Like what made you go there? I think it was

517
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: praying about it and saying, hey, like is this something

518
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: I really want to do? And can I do it well?

519
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: You know, and how am I going to go about it?

520
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 2: Because for me, I always want to do things different,

521
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 2: Like I don't want to do exactly what everybody else

522
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 2: is doing. So I went into it with the intention

523
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: of wanting a talk show. Oprah Winfrey has been one

524
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: of my north stars since I was a kid, and

525
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 2: it was something about this opportunity building something. It's been

526
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 2: like that since day one, like doing it before, like

527
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 2: giving this the proof of concept, you know. So everything

528
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 2: I've done kind of even with doing my hair, was

529
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: a proof of concept for what I have now.

530
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: So I feel like.

531
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 2: The thought of like, you know, this is something that

532
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 2: you've been wanting to do do it this way, you know,

533
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: it doesn't have to be like the traditional podcast.

534
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: So I think that was the thing that really won

535
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: being ready to open up, because.

536
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 2: You have to have a level of transparency to do

537
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: a podcast, unless you're just talking to other people and.

538
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: Them telling their business.

539
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 2: Wish we could have done that too. I think for

540
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 2: them to draw to you and relate to you have

541
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 2: to share something.

542
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,440
Speaker 4: And so again, like it's faith based, it's about God,

543
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 4: it's about your walk, it's about people.

544
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 3: Talking about that and about purpose and things like that.

545
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 2: And so people do want to say they didn't it

546
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 2: didn't start off like that. Like I was always a

547
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 2: foundation of it. But I had in the season one

548
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: I had watched Jazzy. We were talking about body counting,

549
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:28,919
Speaker 2: whole phases and who else did I have on there

550
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 2: was a little controversial.

551
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 3: I'm trying to think, Yeah, the watch Jazzy episode was

552
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 3: who I said, yeah.

553
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the girl Talk episode with three of

554
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: my homegirls.

555
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 3: So how did that shift?

556
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 2: I think one, my relationship with God grew and then

557
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: taking that seriously, you know, and understanding if you're gonna

558
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: proclaim my name, I need you to I need to

559
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 2: see that, I need to see it in the fruit

560
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 2: of your actions.

561
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: I need to see it. I need people to see

562
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,879
Speaker 1: it on you and I just I took They're very serious,

563
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm one thing I don't play that

564
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: I don't play by God.

565
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: And it was like, if I'm gonna do it, like

566
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 2: there's I feel like there's a way that I could

567
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: still be who God created me to be in my

568
00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 2: own lane where I don't have to be shout out

569
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 2: to my big sister Sarah Jakes Roberts, I don't have

570
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: to be a Sjar, you know, like she does her thing.

571
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 2: I don't have to be at Tasha Cobbs, you know.

572
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: Like there's so many women in the face based space.

573
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 2: They are who they are. But I'm Crystal and I

574
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: can do it the way I do it. And even

575
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 2: Sarah help me see that. She was like Crystal, she

576
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 2: was like, you are you, but all these women they're

577
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 2: here for you, you know. So She's like, there's something

578
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 2: that you're doing that is still doing the job. So

579
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 2: understanding my lane and figuring out which I think everybody

580
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 2: has to kind of figure out where do they fit

581
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 2: in whatever lane they're trying to pursue, And for me,

582
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: it was like, God, where do I fit in in

583
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 2: this space where I don't feel like I'm losing myself

584
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 2: but I'm honoring you.

585
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: And I feel like there is parts of me that

586
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: had to die naturally.

587
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,439
Speaker 2: To honor him the way he needs to be honored,

588
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 2: but to not lose like my wit and lose like

589
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 2: the parts of me that people just like, Oh my God,

590
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 2: I love that about her. She's so real and understanding that,

591
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: like he knows who I am and this is how

592
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: he made me. And I'm just gonna walk in that,

593
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: you know, and give him the glory and speak his

594
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: name so that people can be drawn to him.

595
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I'm sure that ties to my next question

596
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 4: because again, like you said, it didn't start off like that.

597
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 4: You wanted to keep it positive, but you wanted to

598
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 4: have the good talk and be relatable and things like that.

599
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 4: And it's kind of cultivated into this massive thing, right,

600
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 4: and where God is definitely getting the glory every time.

601
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 3: But on our algorithm now, of course you know we

602
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 3: type it in.

603
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 4: Now you're gonna start seeing all just the way the

604
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 4: algorithm rights. You'll start seeing all this Christian based trends

605
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 4: and all these things. And i hate to call it

606
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 4: a trend or exploitation, but some of.

607
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 2: It is right because some people just get on and

608
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: and like you come on, now, you know you just

609
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 2: doing this because it's popular, Like you can tell, like

610
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 2: what do you like?

611
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:57,719
Speaker 1: That's not even who you are?

612
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 2: Stop like stop playing, like literally stop playing. And I

613
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,959
Speaker 2: think that you have to be careful because a lot

614
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 2: of people try to make.

615
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: Being a Christian.

616
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 2: Transactional or like, oh, this is what's popping right now,

617
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 2: let me hop on this. Like you, it really needs

618
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 2: to be a part of who you are, and God knows,

619
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 2: you know, it's only so long you can fake it,

620
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 2: like with anything else. So I think when people do that,

621
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 2: you gotta be really careful with that.

622
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: That's not something to play with.

623
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's what I was going to ask you

624
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 4: when you when you see that, and I mean, especially

625
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 4: being so inner circle and knowing that, how do you

626
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 4: for the person that's watching that, What are your thoughts

627
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 4: to them? What are your things to them? Because again,

628
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 4: sometimes it's like you can get the message maybe not

629
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 4: the right messenger, So you know, what are your thoughts

630
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 4: on that? And knowing like right, but you saying you

631
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 4: may be saying the right thing. You may be saying

632
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 4: the word, you may be delivering the message, but it's

633
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 4: just like that messenger islet.

634
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: I think it's a fine line of.

635
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 2: Not judging people, you know, because God could truly be

636
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: working on somebody's heart. They just might not be dressed

637
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,160
Speaker 2: the way we think they should be. Like I've seen

638
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 2: people online speaking the word in the book, but.

639
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: Everything's out.

640
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 2: It's like what we doing, you know, Like it's like

641
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 2: I feel like there'sul be reverence, you know, when you

642
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: are doing whatever you're doing in the name of God.

643
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 2: But I feel like we can't be judgmental. We've all

644
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 2: like for me, I know, like we talked about things

645
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 2: of archives. There was a lot of stuff that I

646
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,159
Speaker 2: used to pose that was very risque, thirst trapish, you know,

647
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 2: and when I went through, like those are things I

648
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 2: did clean off my page as I began to take

649
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: it serious one because there's so many little girls that

650
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 2: are following me. I don't want them feeling like this

651
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: is what you're supposed to do because they're like, oh,

652
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: Chris is doing it. Oh, I'm gonna go take this

653
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: bathing suit picture. I'm gonna show my ass whatever the case.

654
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: A and B I didn't want to be that example

655
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: for them. I wanted to be the example of a

656
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 2: woman who dresses modestly, you know, but still fly.

657
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

658
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 2: My Mama always tell me, Crystal shows, you gotta let

659
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 2: everything hang out, you know what I'm saying, Like, if

660
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: you're gonna show a little top, be covered at the bosom,

661
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 2: you're gonna show a little leg, be covered at the top,

662
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 2: like you're gonna have your back out.

663
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 1: Everything don't have to be out, you know.

664
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 2: And I feel like there's a tasteful way to do

665
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: everything when it comes to being dressed. But when we

666
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 2: get online and we see people online and we're like,

667
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. All I do is pray, like God,

668
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 2: if this person is really speaking for you and it's genuine.

669
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 2: Just because I've been there, I know the transformation that

670
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: God can do in people. Even I could be in

671
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: church every Sunday Saturday. All might have been smoking, doing edibles, partying,

672
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 2: getting drunk, whatever the case may be. But I was

673
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: still going to church, praising the Lord every Sunday, tithing.

674
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 2: But it was something about cultivating and refining that relationship

675
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 2: where God started to change me. And then I started

676
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: being more mindful about how I dress, where I hung out,

677
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 2: say no to drugs, and really being that example of

678
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 2: who he is and showing people, Yo, you can be

679
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 2: popping as country Wayne say, Jesus is happening, and like

680
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 2: knowing that, like your life can be blessed and you

681
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 2: can live an amazing life and honor him in the

682
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: same way. I think we kind of get caught up

683
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: in what that looks like and forget about the come

684
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 2: as you are.

685
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think that that kind of shows just

686
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 4: on some the several guests you've had in the conversations

687
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 4: that have come from those things. And so how in

688
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 4: this when we go back to you being as business

689
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,640
Speaker 4: woman and I mean you're in some really major spaces

690
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 4: where people don't even maybe talk about religion or talk

691
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 4: about God.

692
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 3: How are you maneuvering through that? And how are you.

693
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 4: How are you I guess you know, moving moving through

694
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 4: that and knowing like, Okay, maybe they might not even

695
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 4: have a religion or have these things. Does that impact

696
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 4: how you move if God says okay, you still good?

697
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 4: Or is it all have to be based on that?

698
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 4: And what does that look like?

699
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: That's a really good question when it comes to being

700
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,719
Speaker 2: in rooms. I always look at Jesus. He hung out

701
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 2: with people that the Pharisees and satt she's judged him

702
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: for why are.

703
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: You hanging out with him? He's a thief? And why

704
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: are you hanging He was a killer, he's an adulterer.

705
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: And the thing is is that.

706
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 2: Jesus would tell stories, he would be who he is,

707
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 2: his light would shine, but he would never judge them.

708
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

709
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 2: He always was welcoming and what ends up happening. I

710
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: don't have to shove it down their throat. They're gonna

711
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 2: see the light on me.

712
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: You know.

713
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's just being in your presence where it's like, yo,

714
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 2: it is something about this girl, she got it, and

715
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 2: then the conversation is naturally gonna come up, you know.

716
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: And even if it doesn't, they're always going to feel

717
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: some type of.

718
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 2: Peace and be drawn to you, and eventually it's gonna

719
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: come up where they're gonna want to know more.

720
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: What is this?

721
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 2: It's something about you like I can't put my finger

722
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: on it, or they're gonna follow you on Instagram and see,

723
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 2: oh wow, she's a Christian, or she's really in her

724
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: words she's a believer. I want to know more about

725
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 2: this because I see the light that she has on

726
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 2: her life. Sometimes it's not about being in the space

727
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 2: and Jesus, jes Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, you know, like sometimes

728
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 2: it's just being you know, like you can shove Jesus

729
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: down people start and not be living it and not

730
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 2: be a reflection of him. So I think the most

731
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: important part is being a reflection of his, like treating

732
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: people with kindness, and when people come to you for

733
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 2: advice that they're struggling with something, give them sound advice

734
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 2: and how to turn away from it. I think as Christians,

735
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 2: we've gotten so comfortable with God knows my heart or

736
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 2: this is what I'm saying, this is just who I

737
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: am knowing is wrong. No, if you know that, then okay,

738
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: let's think about how we got here, you know, and

739
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 2: let's think about how we can turn away from this.

740
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 2: Cause it's one thing to be like, oh yeah, because

741
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 2: Jesus he hung with these people in this people, but

742
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 2: most of those people turned away from what they were doing,

743
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 2: and some of them they was right there with them

744
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 2: and even turn their back on the story. Come on,

745
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 2: they turned his back on them. We talk about Judas

746
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 2: and Peter like one of them. He said, get away

747
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 2: from me, Satan. And there's one thing that pet taught

748
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 2: me is about when you have people around you, you

749
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: have Peters and Judases.

750
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 1: You have people that make mistakes, but then you got.

751
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: Judases that you cut off, and understanding the difference of

752
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 2: like who's a Peter Smidy who has a good harbor

753
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 2: made a mistake, but who is a Judas that you

754
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: need to get out cut it off?

755
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 3: You know?

756
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 2: So I think when it comes to just understanding your

757
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,880
Speaker 2: space in different rooms and how to navigate it, it's

758
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 2: really just one allowing your fruit to show and see

759
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 2: so people can see like, oh wow, she really is

760
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 2: who she speaks of, Like I see.

761
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: That in her it's reflected, you know.

762
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think just getting away from the rigidity,

763
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 2: rigidity of religion and really living the life of Jesus

764
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 2: is what's the main point that I try to push off.

765
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 4: I know for a lot of people in that space

766
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 4: and who you know, they start off with, you know,

767
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 4: the faith and pushing the Christ, but then maybe they

768
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 4: backslide or maybe they just right.

769
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: I've been there.

770
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 3: Talk about that though.

771
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 4: Even if you were to do something now that may

772
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 4: just be like ah, and I'm pushing, how do you

773
00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 4: how do you come back from that? And if you

774
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 4: did have to, I mean maybe not explain, but what

775
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 4: does that look like for you in those instances where

776
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 4: it's like damn, I kind of didn't want to post that, or.

777
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 3: Maybe I did too much or do you ever have

778
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 3: those moments?

779
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 4: And when you do or when you did have them?

780
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 4: What was that like for someone? And this is just

781
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 4: for like the business woman that that is her brand.

782
00:34:15,719 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 4: She loves God. She you know, she's working on herself.

783
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 4: But maybe the post it little little ris mistakee, but

784
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 4: now she wants she doesn't want that to define her,

785
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 4: you know, to make it where people don't trust what she's.

786
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, Paul, and he wrote a scripture about the

787
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 2: very things that I hate.

788
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 1: To do, I do them like we know we're not

789
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: supposed to do it. This we're talking about Paul. Yeah,

790
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: you were saying a man.

791
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: That was killing Christians but like turn his life over

792
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 2: to Christ and even said like there's things like I

793
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 2: know I shouldn't be doing this, but the very thing

794
00:34:55,440 --> 00:35:00,479
Speaker 2: I hate doing I end up doing it anyway. Pete

795
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 2: talked about this on Sunday too, about the growth turns

796
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 2: when that when the I know I'm doing this, I

797
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 2: don't like it.

798
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: I hate it.

799
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 2: The growth is in the hate. There was a time

800
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 2: where it didn't bother me. When I did that, it

801
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 2: was like, oh whatever, you know, so there's growth in that.

802
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 2: And I feel like to the people that are still growing,

803
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 2: give yourself grace, you know, when you know you are

804
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 2: truly trying to do better, be better, to turn away

805
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 2: from things. Understand that you are working and combating years

806
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: of habits that you've been set in. You know, certain

807
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 2: things that don't cut off, like cold turkey, like a

808
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 2: light switch. Certain things you really got to work at.

809
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 2: And it's we talk about dying to our flesh daily.

810
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 2: Certain things you really have to work at quitting and

811
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 2: like sometimes that urge is going to pull back at you.

812
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 2: You know, I talked about I don't know if I've

813
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 2: talked about it privately, yeah, but I don't know if

814
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 2: I opened up public about it. But there's things like

815
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 2: I've turned away from and those urges come, you know,

816
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 2: like masturbation for me is one of them. Things like

817
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 2: sex hasn't been an issue like I can be like, no,

818
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: I'm not having sex, and I've been good on that,

819
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 2: but the urge because there's something about a vibrator that

820
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 2: a man can't do, which.

821
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 3: Is private, no one would even know.

822
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: Nobody would know, but guess what God knows, and it

823
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 2: hurts my heart when I do it, you know. So

824
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: like that's something where like I've let that go as well,

825
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 2: but it took a while to let that go. I

826
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 2: did talk about that. It took a while to let

827
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 2: that go, and even God was like, You're gonna have

828
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 2: to stop this, you know, please stop because.

829
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: No man will ever be able to satisfy you can

830
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: keep using this thing, you know. So I think.

831
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 2: It's understanding being real with yourself knowing and I think

832
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 2: sharing and being transparent about things like that where it's like, yes,

833
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 2: I cut this off, but this right he was hard

834
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 2: for me. This was tough, so that people don't feel

835
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: alone when they're trying to do right now. That doesn't

836
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 2: give permission and mission yet just keep going, girl, because

837
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 2: God know, like, just keep doing this, okay because y'all

838
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 2: gonna keep forgiving you. But like it's like no, like

839
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 2: really work towards trying. But it's understand that it is

840
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 2: hard and we all fall short. And I think that's

841
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: the main thing that I want to drive home is

842
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 2: that even when you fall short, just don't stay there,

843
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 2: get up and try again. Clean slate, you know, every

844
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,359
Speaker 2: day daily bread. That's why we pray for that, give

845
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 2: us our daily bread because I know yesterday I messed

846
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 2: it up. Okay, so I need a new love today. Lord,

847
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 2: Let's try this again. But yeah, just don't allow we

848
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 2: call them first way Christians. Don't allow them to push

849
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: you away from doing what you know is right even

850
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 2: when you fall down.

851
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: And I think that's the main thing.

852
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 2: We get so caught up in the scripture that we

853
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 2: lose sight of the foundation and the act of it.

854
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, so good, Crystal.

855
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 4: So again, you're all these businesses and some of them

856
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 4: are first, and then some of them you are, you know,

857
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:52,359
Speaker 4: recreating and redoing. Even with the hair care line. Hair

858
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 4: has been around for so long, right, yeah, and you

859
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 4: weren't the first, but you are popping with it. So

860
00:37:57,560 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 4: I want to connect that because a lot of people

861
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 4: feel like everything is oversaturated. Podcasts, hair problems, just all

862
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 4: these things right because they've been done and people make money,

863
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 4: so people gonna try.

864
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 3: And things like that.

865
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, for someone who has a calling or a gift

866
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 4: but feels like a space is already full, what would

867
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 4: you say to them?

868
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 3: And I think you have so much to say, because yes,

869
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:18,360
Speaker 3: do it anyway.

870
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 2: You know, this is something that you've been called to,

871
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 2: something that you feel like you could add something different

872
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 2: to as well their space for everybody.

873
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: I mean, this is like a multi billion dollar.

874
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 2: Area of space when it comes to beauty even podcasts, Like,

875
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 2: there's so much money everywhere to make it, why not

876
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 2: be you?

877
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 3: You know?

878
00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:42,479
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of times we allow doubt

879
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 2: and fear to creep in when we see.

880
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: So many people doing this. It's like, well where do

881
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 1: I fit in? You're you, That's where you fit in.

882
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: And I think once you get that into your head

883
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 2: and realize, wait, there is something about me, there's something

884
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 2: special about me. And for me, I walked into it

885
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 2: confidently knowing that this is something that I was doing

886
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 2: before this opportunity came. So I was able to say no, like,

887
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 2: I can do this, and I can definitely sell this

888
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 2: because I've been doing it before. I was making some

889
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 2: money off of it. So I think, when you know

890
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 2: you've done the work, goes back to doing the work.

891
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 2: When you've done the work, there is no stopping you.

892
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 2: And I feel like there's space for everybody and there's

893
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 2: room for me and I'm living proof of it, so

894
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 2: there's room for you too.

895
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 4: Of course, we know about God's time and then you

896
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 4: know that this is the perfect time. But for someone

897
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 4: that's maybe not there, quite there yet with understanding that,

898
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 4: what are some steps that you can give them to

899
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 4: like it's not too late, or like what is something?

900
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 3: Of course, doing the work, but what is some.

901
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 4: Other things that you think you could just instill or

902
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 4: just some practices people could be doing. Who again, they

903
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 4: know what they want to do, but they're just kind

904
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 4: of scared.

905
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, So.

906
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 2: I have known that I wanted to be an actors

907
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 2: since the age of five. I wanted to be an

908
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:06,080
Speaker 2: entertain I was thirty six, okay thirty six when I

909
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 2: got my big break, which is late in the entertainment industry,

910
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 2: but I was right on time. And I say that

911
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 2: to inspire someone who feels like they're late. And I

912
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 2: feel like it's never too late to pivot. You know,

913
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:22,320
Speaker 2: so many people like I'm at this age and I

914
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 2: don't like what I'm doing.

915
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: What do you like to do?

916
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 2: Is it something that you can make a living off

917
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 2: of or is it a hobby? You know, and if

918
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 2: it is something you can make a living off of,

919
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 2: start working towards that why you have a job, and

920
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 2: create your exit strategy. You know, I think that we

921
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 2: get so stuck in what's safe that we miss out

922
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 2: on living in our purpose. And I think there is

923
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 2: a level responsibility that you have to have. Don't be

924
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 2: reckless with it and just I'm just gonna quit my

925
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 2: job today because I don't like it, you know, don't

926
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 2: do that, but be responsible. And sometimes you're gonna have

927
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:59,439
Speaker 2: to put in the extra shifts where it's like, Okay,

928
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,359
Speaker 2: I'm gonna work in the day on my main job,

929
00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 2: but at nighttime I'm going to really work on my

930
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 2: passions so that I can leave this other job and

931
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 2: this can be my main thing. But you're never too late.

932
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 2: You're never too late.

933
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 3: I love that. Yeah, So I know that you are

934
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,320
Speaker 3: doing the soccer, You're doing all of these things.

935
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 4: I want to go back to that because again we

936
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 4: know that you've always you've always been into the hair

937
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 4: and the fashion, and of course we see you into

938
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 4: the sports. But what did tell us more about that

939
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 4: and what does that look like? And this is more

940
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 4: so to inspire someone who may have like a secret

941
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 4: like love or a secret thing, and then what does

942
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 4: that look like to actually step into that role, Like.

943
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great question for me.

944
00:41:42,200 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 2: I always said that when I started making a certain

945
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 2: amount of money where I could invest, I wanted to

946
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 2: create generational wealth. So the great thing is some opportunities come,

947
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 2: you can get in on the entry level and it

948
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 2: can turn to something crazy as you let it mature

949
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,920
Speaker 2: over the years. When it comes to investing in sports teams,

950
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 2: it's the long game. This is not something I get

951
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,240
Speaker 2: dividends off of at the end of the year or quarterly.

952
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 2: This is something that when I get older, say the

953
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 2: team sells or we end up doing an evaluation, I

954
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 2: would get a big payout for that. So this is

955
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 2: playing the long game and understanding like when you have

956
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,000
Speaker 2: money that you can same with investing in socks and

957
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: bonds and treasury wise, whatever it is that you may

958
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 2: be investing in, You're gonna let that money sit, you know,

959
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 2: and let it continue to compound interest. This is one

960
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 2: of those things where I have money that I could

961
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 2: do without you have to be smart about it. Is

962
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 2: this money that you can do without because this isn't

963
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 2: something I can go in and be like, oh I

964
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 2: need this now. I could go sell some of my

965
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 2: shares if I needed to, which is always smart to

966
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 2: have something in a reserve that can't touch it because taxes, which.

967
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: Is another good thing business.

968
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 2: Listen, you want to make sure that you're putting your

969
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 2: money investing in things where Uncle Sam can't touch it

970
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 2: until you start pulling money out of it. So for me,

971
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 2: this is another way that I can cut back on

972
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:05,359
Speaker 2: what I have to pay for, but in the long run,

973
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 2: it's going to be a huge payout.

974
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: So I think sometimes we.

975
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 2: Get caught up in the I want the money right

976
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 2: now that we're not thinking about the long game.

977
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,080
Speaker 3: That's good, Yeah, little business.

978
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 4: So the last thing I want to say I want

979
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,759
Speaker 4: to touch on for the person that is, you know

980
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,280
Speaker 4: they work hard, they you know they're in their word,

981
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 4: they're being patient. What are some things when you were

982
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 4: right at that moment, what is something that you actively did.

983
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 4: Maybe it was like you rolled in your planner every

984
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 4: day or you did what A's some things that you

985
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 4: not instantly, but you saw that shift when you started

986
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 4: implementing these daily I guess works or things like that,

987
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:47,440
Speaker 4: just to get people again like some stuff they can

988
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 4: do charge them with.

989
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 2: I think practicing discipline, you know, having a schedule, sticking

990
00:43:54,520 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 2: to it. There's something about routine that helps be structured,

991
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 2: that helps you understand like you're not going with the flow.

992
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, I just wake Kevin, I do what

993
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,959
Speaker 2: everyone do. No, Like every successful person they're up early,

994
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:13,280
Speaker 2: they're up before everybody. They are taking care of their bodies,

995
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: taking care of their mind. Where there's meditation, journaling, working out.

996
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 2: For me, my workout is meditation.

997
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 3: For me.

998
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 2: I can like just be with myself, put my headphones in,

999
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 2: and I'm fueling my body for the day. There's something

1000
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 2: about discipline, and if you don't have it before it hits,

1001
00:44:29,760 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 2: before that prayer's answered, it's gonna be hard to like

1002
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 2: jump into discipline when it does come, and a lot

1003
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 2: of times you'll fumble it. So I think for me,

1004
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 2: it's making sure that before it comes, whatever you're asking for,

1005
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 2: also pray for the discipline and then start practicing discipline

1006
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 2: before it actually hits.

1007
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was good. That was good. Listen.

1008
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, like I would not be where I

1009
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 2: am today if I wasn't structured.

1010
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had to have that discipline, and I've had

1011
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: that since I was a kid. You know.

1012
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 2: My parents put me in organized sports. I was a

1013
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 2: competition cheerleader. We had practice right after school. Sometimes we

1014
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 2: would go home, then we had to be back at

1015
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,479
Speaker 2: a certain time. We had competitions, we had basketball games,

1016
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 2: football games, softball.

1017
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: Games, track meets, whatever it was.

1018
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 2: We had to make sure that we were there on time,

1019
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 2: also taking care of our studies. So it's so much

1020
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: that I was juggling at a young age that gave

1021
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,040
Speaker 2: me that structure, and I think it's something that I

1022
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 2: carried into.

1023
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: Every part of my life, even how hard it was.

1024
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,799
Speaker 2: The mental fortitude to be able to handle difficult things

1025
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 2: at a young age, whether it's getting hurt or being

1026
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 2: mentally exhausted, physically exhausted, but pushing through, it's something that

1027
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 2: you can't buy, you know. Sometimes you don't mean some

1028
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 2: people don't have it, you know, And that's why I

1029
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 2: don't feel like everybody is in the same position, because

1030
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 2: some things you just have to have or you have

1031
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 2: to build a stamina for it.

1032
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: So I'm grateful to my parents.

1033
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 2: And I always shout out my middle school cheerleading coach,

1034
00:45:57,080 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 2: Miss Friend, who instilled in me at a very young

1035
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 2: age what hard work was.

1036
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: She didn't care if a bone was popping out of

1037
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 1: our arm. You finish it.

1038
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 2: I don't care if your nose is bleeding, if you

1039
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 2: just got it knocked out of whatever, Finish the routine

1040
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 2: and then we'll figure it out.

1041
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: Like and I think I just carry that with everything

1042
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: I do. Yeah, just finish it.

1043
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 3: I love it.

1044
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 4: I mean, it's no surprise, of course, what your personal

1045
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 4: brand is. So I'm so excited just to see what

1046
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 4: more businesses will flourish.

1047
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 2: I know, Listen, I'm telling you, like God just gives

1048
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 2: me ideas, okay, and sometimes even to that, you may

1049
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 2: get an idea and it may take time for it

1050
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 2: to come to fruition. Don't give up on that, you know,

1051
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,239
Speaker 2: Like God gave me an idea last year. I just

1052
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 2: had the meeting today a year later, but it was

1053
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 2: right on time. Because I've learned more. I'm in a

1054
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 2: better position, you know. So I think understanding God's timing,

1055
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 2: understanding what you're supposed to learn throughout the gaps when

1056
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,280
Speaker 2: you feel like, oh my God, what is it happening?

1057
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,239
Speaker 2: A moment to sit back and be like, way, what

1058
00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,760
Speaker 2: am I supposed to learning right now? Because there's something

1059
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 2: that a reason why there's a delay. It's not a denial,

1060
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 2: but it's a delay so that you can be ready

1061
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 2: for when it does come. Yeah, my god, oh this

1062
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 2: is good.

1063
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: Good, thank you, Shelly questions.

1064
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 2: What I really want you to understand is this, You

1065
00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 2: don't have to choose one version of yourself to be successful.

1066
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 3: You can evolve, you can expand you can build.

1067
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 1: In multiple spaces.

1068
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 3: But the key to doing it well is alignment.

1069
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 2: Everything you do should connect back to who you are,

1070
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 2: what you believe, and how you want to show up

1071
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,240
Speaker 2: in the world. And when you leave from that place.

1072
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 2: It's not about doing everything. It's about doing the right

1073
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 2: things in the right season. So don't let fear comparison

1074
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 2: or the idea that it's already being done stop you.

1075
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 3: What's for you is not crowded.

1076
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,480
