Absolutely, um Oprah has 89 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: transformed the game, not just for African American women with 90 00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: women in period, becoming a billionaire, becoming an entrepreneur.

And I think when they see Us has 96 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: been nominated for sixteen Absolutely that's how powerful that series is. 97 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: So if people haven't seen it, they really need to 98 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,559 Speaker 1: tune into Netflix to see when they see us, Tina, 99 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: I can't tell you who I voted for, but I 100 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: am a Emmy voter, and uh I knew about that sixteen, 101 00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 1: So I kind of like got to back off a 102 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: little bit on all that nomination talk because I don't 103 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: want to lose my voting privileges. Well, I don't mind 104 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 1: saying who iver, there you go if you if you 105 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: watch UH when they see us, you will experience the 106 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: power of television, the power of of film and media. 107 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: And I think that Ava is telling UH stories about 108 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: our communities in ways that UH not just deserve this 109 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: kind of recognition because she is a consummate filmmaker, but 110 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: also you know, it is very important to our dreams, 111 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: to our ideas of what we can achieve in this world, 112 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 1: to be able to see ourselves, to see ourselves in 113 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: all the iterations that represent us. And so I applaud 114 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: that um in Ava's work as much as I applaud 115 00:07:54,040 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: her consummate filmmaking abilities. So what is your takeaway when 116 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 1: you when I mentioned Nate, when I say open win free, 117 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 1: What is your takeaway when I say open win? My 118 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: takeaway is committed UM. I think that that Oprah understands 119 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: who she is and the game. And I think that 120 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 1: she understood that coming in long before she had the 121 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: power that she has now. She was constantly I'm guessing 122 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: because I don't know. I've been in Oprah's company just 123 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 1: four times. But I believe that she is a person 124 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: who's constantly refining who she is, and she comes to 125 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: the table being smart enough two also leverage these the 126 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: intelligence uh no, how and wherewithal of others. And I 127 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: think that that's really really a key component in leadership 128 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: and success, being able to um surround yourself with the 129 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: right people and being able to leverage and quickly leverage 130 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:27,360 Speaker 1: um talent and great ideas.

I always tell people that I'm working well. 221 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: If I stopped working, the wealth stops. Okay. I am 222 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: not tied to the Hiltons. I'm not tied to to 223 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: anybody famous. If I gotta work to maintain a little 224 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: wealth that I got, and guess what a lot of 225 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: Americans are doing that, and so you need to understand 226 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 1: their different roles.

Um it started from me being 333 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: a little kid thirteen years old working there. That's awesome, 334 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: that's AWESO. We're speaking to uh Aimon Joseph, one of 335 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: the stars of the series Snowfall. Let's talk about this story. 336 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 1: You know when I when I go back to series 337 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: that it's really interesting when you talk about uh, cocaine 338 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: or crack or drug, drug movies or series. The series 339 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: that stands out was New Jack City with whether that came, 340 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 1: that came blew me away? Uh, what's this knife? Should 341 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 1: have been nominated for an Oscar based on his Nino 342 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: Brown character, and then then it was just then. But 343 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 1: but this Snowfall has that same Uh. You know, you 344 00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: know you're doing something bad, you know it's not good, 345 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: but you the characters are so developed that you that 346 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 1: you feel a support system as a viewer for the characters. 347 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: Tell us about that, because you know what I'm saying 348 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: because we can watch these you know, like Godfather movies, 349 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: and we can root for you know, all them, and 350 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: they go, wow, but you know, these are these are 351 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: bad people, but we fall in love with the actors 352 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: that were stylized and and and so when I watched 353 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: so Far As, I were wild, they're they're actually accomplishingly. 354 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,679 Speaker 1: And when I say that, that's why I bring up 355 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: New Jack City. And New Jack City was man. Every 356 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: character was so clearly define and and and you rooted 357 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: for him and you and you knew they were denounced 358 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,640 Speaker 1: their behavior, but you went, wow, that was really good. 359 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 1: The takeaway from that are you getting Are you receiving 360 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: that same response from the character that you're playing and 361 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: the other characters on the series. Yeah, that's a very layered, 362 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: layered question, because you do have the There is a 363 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: part of the glorification of the of the of the 364 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 1: drug dealer, all the villain period um. A big part 365 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: of escapism and entertainment is living out fantasies that you 366 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 1: would not do in real life. And a lot of 367 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: times that comes from the villain, the person that is 368 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: selling drugs or the person that has some maniacal scheme 369 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: of being filthy rich and um, not living up to 370 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: the consequences that we would in everyday life and the 371 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: social responsibility, the conscience. UM. So yeah, I I understand 372 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: how an audience can get wrapped up in to a 373 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 1: glorification of these type of of these type of characters. 374 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: But then I also think that what good writers and 375 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: good storytellers do is you try to bring a humanity, 376 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: um that isn't just about toting a gun and wearing 377 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: big pins, are having you know a lot of uh 378 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: sex and cars, and you know that you look at 379 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: the the trajectory of people of a family that for 380 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 1: their own individual reasons and collectively they embark on selling 381 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: drugs as a family business. But it's a family and 382 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 1: we all relate to family. So I think that that's 383 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: the way that the writers, definitely with Snowfall, have have 384 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: sort of made the audience endeared to these characters because 385 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: it is a family. We see them eat as a 386 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: family unit, we see them take care of each other, 387 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,119 Speaker 1: we see them responsible for each other's well being. And 388 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: I think that that's the kind of thing that put 389 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: you at odds with oh my god, they're doing something bad, 390 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: But I root for them because I know somewhere inside 391 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: them intrinsically there is good. I love talking to you man. 392 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: You're also been talking to Amon Joseph, one of the 393 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: stars of the FX series.

Is 445 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: that correct? I do. It's an Intentions retreat. Okay to January, 446 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,959 Speaker 1: which is next year a Unity Village, Unity Village, Missouri. 447 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: Tell us about that mate retreat and what the purpose 448 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 1: of a retreat that you put on. Well, you know, 449 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: I loved your introduction because you were, um, you know, 450 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: really hitting at home that you have to plan in 451 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: order to be successful. You have to know it what 452 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: you want and you have to make a plan. If 453 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: you don't plan and have some sort of vision on 454 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: where you want to go, you're just like a boat 455 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,000 Speaker 1: without a rudder. You're just gonna address. So what we 456 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: do in an intentions retreat is we really uncover what 457 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: was good and what did you not feel was so 458 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 1: good for the previous year, and we let those things go. 459 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,760 Speaker 1: Then we make a real plan for what is going 460 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 1: to look like. I want to get a vision from 461 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:08,200 Speaker 1: each and every person, um so that if they got 462 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 1: to December one and they turned around and looked at 463 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: what their year produced, I want to know what they 464 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: hope to see. Then what we do is we get 465 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: that down on paper, We get that down in in 466 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: powerful word statements. We get that down in a daily 467 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: practice of reviewing those goals regularly and also making sure 468 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: that they're calm enough to recognize what Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, 469 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: Oprah Winfrey, Albert Einstein, and I use, which is something 470 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,120 Speaker 1: that because you can't see it, I call it spiritual, 471 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: but it's intuition. It's that gut instinct and those subconscious 472 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: messages that are going to show up and point the 473 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: direction for us to take action on a path to 474 00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: achieve those goals. So it's a lot of work. We're 475 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: going to go deep. It's very empowerful, empowering, and very 476 00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: very fun. It's at Unity Village, which is just about 477 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: thirty five miles away from Kansas City Airport, right and 478 00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:13,360 Speaker 1: can't see the airport is right by the hundred miles 479 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: and we can can't sit that is the airport is 480 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,760 Speaker 1: so far away from cans like, wow, man, I mean 481 00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: another state, but it does feel that way. It does 482 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,440 Speaker 1: feel like can I go there as a long ride? 483 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: Just preparing my my, my, my, my listeners, if they go, 484 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: they landed, they land the airport, it's gonna be a ride. 485 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a ride, and it's all good because 486 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 1: they're going there for an event that now this I'm 487 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:42,240 Speaker 1: assuming by what you're speaking there's an annual event.

If we've done it up in the Blue 490 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: Ridge Mountains, you know, something like it up in the 491 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,240 Speaker 1: Blue Ridge Mountain, Carolina, and you try to put it 492 00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: in a location in the northwest. But this will be 493 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: the first time that we do it in Unity Village, 494 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 1: and I'm so excited. It can be great great. So 495 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: where are you based at me. I'm I'm based in Texas, 496 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000 Speaker 1: and so when I was listening to the weather report 497 00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: right before you came on, I was thinking, Wow, that 498 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: ninety four degrees sounds great. We've had a hundred degrees 499 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,040 Speaker 1: where I live. Oh, well, you know, I live in Atlanta. 500 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 1: I was just in Houston this past weekend and we 501 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,920 Speaker 1: were dealing with ninety six in Houston this past weekend, so, 502 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: you know, across the time. And my vacation home, which 503 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: is where we're at now is on Lake Conro, not 504 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,560 Speaker 1: very far from Houston. Absolutely, May and I just getting together. 505 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,440 Speaker 1: We on that same energy path. That's why she's on 506 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: the show. And now when I when I was now, 507 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: let's talk about this title. The name of your business 508 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 1: be as Easy you all t Z Results. Where did 509 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: that come from? Well, that's the what we do is 510 00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,960 Speaker 1: we accelerate business results. So it's a play on business results. 511 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: And that particular company has a number of different arms. 512 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 1: The first is speaking and teaching around the world, so 513 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,920 Speaker 1: we do public events, but we also do a lot 514 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: of private events. And then I also have executive consulting. 515 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: I'll work with mostly ceo s or executive leadership. I'm 516 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: really trying to figure out a way to achieve that 517 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 1: next level of success. And as the other part is 518 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: are the books and other materials that we create. Now 519 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,560 Speaker 1: I have another company which is my angel investment company, 520 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 1: my real estate holdings UM and other things that I 521 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: do to produce your revenue. That mess is because I've 522 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:48,160 Speaker 1: heard this this angel investor. What exactly is an angel investor? 523 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 1: An angel investor is a high net worth individual who 524 00:33:55,280 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: may not know the venture that's out fundraising. So usually 525 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,960 Speaker 1: in a startup UM and I've had six, well seven 526 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 1: startups UM, And in a startup you usually go through 527 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,480 Speaker 1: the phases of boots trapping, so use your own money. 528 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 1: I remember mortgaging a couple of properties and and you know, 529 00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,920 Speaker 1: selling everything that I had in order to get businesses started. UM, 530 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,560 Speaker 1: So you boots trap. Usually the founder and anybody else 531 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: that might be a partner gets involved in that stage. 532 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:32,680 Speaker 1: After you prove that some stuff is working, then you 533 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,759 Speaker 1: go to your friends and family stage. These are people 534 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: that know your character, that know you. You don't have 535 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: to be as formal because you know they've known you 536 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:46,920 Speaker 1: for a very long time and trust your ability to 537 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: execute on a business plan, so they'll come in for 538 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: money the very first time that you go out. Two 539 00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:59,720 Speaker 1: investors that are not part of that friends and family group. 540 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: Those are angel investors. I'm not exactly sure how we 541 00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 1: got the title, but if you look at the show 542 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:14,080 Speaker 1: Shark Tank, those are angel investors. And now, granted they're 543 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,239 Speaker 1: much wealthier and when they invest, they have a lot 544 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: more zeros. Most of the time, angel investors will come 545 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:25,239 Speaker 1: in when the company is an early stage company may 546 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: be valued up to five or ten million dollars for 547 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: that seed round of angel investment, and then they go 548 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: into A rounds and B rounds, and then you get 549 00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 1: the venture capitalists that come in after angel investors. We're 550 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 1: talking to May McCarthy. Uh. The book we're discussing is 551 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,399 Speaker 1: the Gratitude Formula, a seven step success system to create 552 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 1: a life that you love. In this book, you will 553 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,840 Speaker 1: learn the importance of gratitude as a valuable part of 554 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: a daily system for success so that you can experience 555 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: more of the good things that you desire. What do 556 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: you want? Greater financial freedom, improved health, satisfying work, harmonious relationships, 557 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: regularly regular recreation, and the means to enjoy it. You 558 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,320 Speaker 1: can use this daily system for success to enable you 559 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: to receive all of the things that you wanted more. 560 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: That's what when I was reading the book. Is you 561 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,239 Speaker 1: the reason I'm enjoying this interview with you because you 562 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,680 Speaker 1: care a lot of values that I speak about on 563 00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: the show about self motivation. A lot of people call 564 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,080 Speaker 1: in on the show talk about their faith. Uh, and 565 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 1: like you said, the faith is whatever you call it, 566 00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: but they have some some divine force or summers that 567 00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: allows you to stay competitive, stay organized, stay focused. And 568 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:40,719 Speaker 1: that's what you're talking about when you're talking about to 569 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: see us, oh, that you put above the CEO in 570 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 1: your life. And it's a lot of people want to 571 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 1: characterize that they need more of a defined presence or 572 00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: physical presence. And you're saying all this is driven by emotion. 573 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,839 Speaker 1: All is driven by it and and an inner gut 574 00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,920 Speaker 1: instinct or intuition. That right, that first thought. And that's 575 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 1: why I always say on the show, go with the 576 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:02,520 Speaker 1: first thought. If you're going with the second and third, 577 00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: that's not too good instinct anymore. The first thought, your 578 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 1: first thought is your gut instinct, correct, right, Well, it 579 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 1: could come in a number of different ways. For instance, UM, 580 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: I don't know if you've been to Cleveland before, but 581 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:21,600 Speaker 1: I had, Yeah, I've had some large customers there because 582 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 1: it's a great hospital town. And I found myself in Cleveland. 583 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,120 Speaker 1: I got off the plane, grabbed my bags, got my 584 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: rental car, went to the hotel and dropped everything off, 585 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: and then I went to the I was going to 586 00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: go to the closest grocery store it's about five minutes away, 587 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: to pick up protein shakes and water and things like that. 588 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,800 Speaker 1: And when I got in the car, I had a 589 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,560 Speaker 1: very strong thought. That first thought about a grocery store 590 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: of fifteen minutes a way, Well, that didn't make any sense, 591 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 1: and my rational mind tried to talk me out of it. 592 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 1: But I know, like you, that perhaps that's something that 593 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: I need to pay attention to. So I sat there 594 00:37:57,640 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 1: for a moment and I thought, you know, I should 595 00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: probably make the drive. Maybe everything will beyond sale. So 596 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: he did. And when I was walking into the grocery store, 597 00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:09,560 Speaker 1: there was a guy who was walking out who I recognized. 598 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 1: I met him six months before the trade show. He 599 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 1: represented a giant new customer, and he was not returning 600 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 1: any of my phone calls or emails for an appointment. 601 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,560 Speaker 1: And here we are face to face. So while while 602 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,480 Speaker 1: I was talking to him, he said, look, while you're 603 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:28,120 Speaker 1: in town, come make a presentation. Well that led to 604 00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:32,439 Speaker 1: another presentation and another presentation and a contract worth over 605 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars, which was my goal that I 606 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 1: was revisiting every single day because that's the way this works. Absolutely. 607 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: You know, I know we're running time on a time 608 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 1: on this interview, and I want to bring you back 609 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,600 Speaker 1: and may hopefully enjoyed this interview with me, because I 610 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: want to bring up this moment, a sharable moment in 611 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 1: your book, and it was about when you went to 612 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,240 Speaker 1: visit your sister, because I was diagnosed with thyrol cancer 613 00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: and then the way I was um in your direct 614 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 1: cancers in the throat area. And so if you go 615 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 1: to your and I go to annual dental appointment and 616 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,960 Speaker 1: your doctor appointment, and they all they all do the 617 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,479 Speaker 1: net chats, you know, they check, you know, they'll feel 618 00:39:13,520 --> 00:39:15,719 Speaker 1: around they go, they're feeling for lungs. That's what they're 619 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 1: feeling for. And usually if you they feel something, that 620 00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,960 Speaker 1: usually is the first sign of thyrod cancer. And now 621 00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: I passed these tests in December and I'm in January 622 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,680 Speaker 1: I'm listening to I'm having a meeting, a general meeting 623 00:39:27,719 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 1: with my blood doctor, and she's run there too, blown 624 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: blood tests, and so she's asked me. This was the 625 00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: same thing. If you read a book, you're talking about 626 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 1: a similar situation where she went in to see a doctor. 627 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,320 Speaker 1: And in this situation where it started with her sister, 628 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: her sister just saying, hey, she knows something on her leg, 629 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: won't you go see a doctor? And she goes to 630 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:49,239 Speaker 1: the doctor. My situation with this blood was like I 631 00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 1: could have easily went, hey, just take my blood and 632 00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 1: go home so I can go home. She said, well, 633 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,239 Speaker 1: can I just touch your neck and just check? And 634 00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,680 Speaker 1: she and she and she felt along. Now I went 635 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,160 Speaker 1: to to other people who have told me they were 636 00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: cool with this law, right, I went through the whole process, 637 00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,719 Speaker 1: and she told me, and she said, well, do you 638 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 1: mind if I check if I do a biopsy on 639 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,279 Speaker 1: that same thing that may does in her book and 640 00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 1: in her situation, she would diagnose with early stage of cancer, 641 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 1: which became very cuable. Same thing in my situation, I'll 642 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:28,880 Speaker 1: diagnosed with direct cancer. And right now I've been cancer 643 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 1: free since that diagnosis and since that surgery. So I 644 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: find your life very relatable to mine may and that 645 00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,040 Speaker 1: is why I want to tell you that I want 646 00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 1: to bring you back on the show, especially to promote 647 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,520 Speaker 1: your upcompany event in Unity Village, because you're special and 648 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: I want to remind you that and all my viewers 649 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 1: and listeners that this is the book that everybody should buy. 650 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,160 Speaker 1: And lots of people out there that are getting mis 651 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,960 Speaker 1: diagnosed um every day.

So I'm trying 825 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:33,040 Speaker 1: to figure out how does a food that you eat 826 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,840 Speaker 1: year round only gets celebrated in the summer. It's almost 827 00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,239 Speaker 1: like perty doing Thanksgiving. It's just an easy way to 828 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,360 Speaker 1: sell it. But I mean, growing up the South, I 829 00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,080 Speaker 1: mean we barbecue year round. It doesn't matter if it 830 00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:46,799 Speaker 1: is in the winter. You can still play that girl. 831 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:49,680 Speaker 1: But you know what the way things are now, I 832 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,239 Speaker 1: mean you can have indoor grills, you can find I 833 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,719 Speaker 1: have a lot of recipes that are for the grill, 834 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,080 Speaker 1: but you can also put them in the oven. I mean, 835 00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: some people feel it's a sin to put some barbecue 836 00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,479 Speaker 1: ribs in the oven. It's as long as they taste 837 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 1: good and they're tender. Does it really matter. I don't 838 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,879 Speaker 1: think so. But I mean, it's it's just something about 839 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 1: the summer and grilling. But I mean, the grill just 840 00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:12,480 Speaker 1: brings people together. You smell that grill down the street 841 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,560 Speaker 1: and you know I'm going to the house because they're 842 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,680 Speaker 1: cooking something good. And I love to do. I have 843 00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,080 Speaker 1: so many barbecue recipes, and I will say that I 844 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,040 Speaker 1: I do have some real skills on the grill.
