Speaker 1: Do it for you. Do it afraid, do it unprepared,
Speaker 1: do it because you're not ready, Do it even though
Speaker 1: you don't know how. Just do it. I can't implore
Speaker 1: how many times people, even myself, maybe someone you've known
Speaker 1: or no have made excuses why they aren't living life
Speaker 1: at their best potential, their true potential, they're optimum potential,
Speaker 1: simply because they feel they're not ready, simply because they
Speaker 1: feel like they have more they need to acquire, simply
Speaker 1: because it's not the right timing, or can we just
Speaker 1: be honest, simply because you're afraid. And I can't tell
Speaker 1: you how many times I have to remind people you're
Speaker 1: going to die one day. And I know it sounds
Speaker 1: more a bit, but that is a fact and my
Speaker 1: thing for myself and others. You better live while you're
Speaker 1: still alive. And that means taking a chance on yourself.
Speaker 1: That means figuring the steps out as you go. That
Speaker 1: means realizing that the best time of your life to
Speaker 1: do whatever it is that you want to do is
Speaker 1: right now. So just do it, but more importantly, do
Speaker 1: it for you. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. You

Speaker 1: see a couple who is in the house. Let me
Speaker 1: give a shout out to you. This is doing like
Speaker 1: the break of day, and we are tuned into Vitamin
Speaker 1: D Live. Yes, Mama has been all for a week
Speaker 1: but I was doing some super prepared If you go
Speaker 1: ahead and check on my Facebook page, I want to
Speaker 1: hit it and posted up a picture where you'll see
Speaker 1: Miss Felicia. You'll see Miss Wanda, my friend Tiffany, and
Speaker 1: Cordney that came out to my Groundings, the performance that
Speaker 1: happened last night. Yeah, you've probably heard me talking about
Speaker 1: the Groundings. I've mentioned it to you before, about my
Speaker 1: aspirations of improv and sketch and all that jazz. Well,
Speaker 1: that happened last week. So I had or not last week.
Speaker 1: That happened last night, and I have been preparing for
Speaker 1: it all week, and so I want to give a
Speaker 1: special thank you to all of them, and just to
Speaker 1: remind you to go after your dreams, just to remind
Speaker 1: us to you to go ahead and take a chance.
Speaker 1: Am I exhausted? Yes, yes, yes, but I said I
Speaker 1: got to show up. I gotta pull up. MS Maya
Speaker 1: was in my messages and said, well, are you going
Speaker 1: live today? I said, yeah, I'm going live today. So
Speaker 1: who I got live watching me right now? And I
Speaker 1: guess it just reminds me. It's like it's a beautiful
Speaker 1: thing to build up with something to go after, something
Speaker 1: I talked about how important it is to just do it,
Speaker 1: regardless if you think you're prepared, regardless if you feel
Speaker 1: like you're afraid, regardless if you feel like you got tomorrow,
Speaker 1: because all you got is right now today. And that
Speaker 1: has really been my journey as to going after the growlings.
Speaker 1: I come across so many people that feelings tho they're
Speaker 1: lost and they don't know what the passion is, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, what do you love to do? A
Speaker 1: lot of people always talking about how they want to
Speaker 1: be comfortable. Well, what is your comfort look like?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 1: Are we just talking about money? Are we talking about time?
Speaker 1: Are we talking about doing our true passion? Pursuing our purpose,
Speaker 1: making sure we tap into our truest potential. I think
Speaker 1: sometimes we get caught up and feeling like it's supposed
Speaker 1: to look a certain way, how it's supposed to happen
Speaker 1: at a certain time, how it's supposed to propel us
Speaker 1: to move forward up per house is not looking like
Speaker 1: the person to the left and the right. Wait a minute,
Speaker 1: hold up, what are you doing? I say this to
Speaker 1: you as I say that to myself. Sometimes you got
Speaker 1: to ask yourself, well, what am I doing looking at
Speaker 1: somebody else's journey. What am I doing having my eyes
Speaker 1: on somebody else's lane? What am I doing that I'm
Speaker 1: looking behind when I'm going forward? We are here for
Speaker 1: a limit of time. What did I you used to say?
Speaker 1: I say, we are special offers here for a limit
Speaker 1: of time. Okay, So that is my word for you
Speaker 1: as I am on this journey at the groundings, but
Speaker 1: doing the dreams and taking a chance on myself. M
Speaker 1: it's scary. It's all about figuring out. Go on, honey,
Speaker 1: take a chance, That's what I say. So I hope
Speaker 1: you out there doing something for yourself, doing something that's
Speaker 1: requiring you to get outside of your comfort zone, because
Speaker 1: that's when the magic happens. And if you ain't doing nothing,
Speaker 1: what are you doing? And if you're not sure what
Speaker 1: you're doing, how about you ask yourself why you're doing it?
Speaker 1: Is it because you're bored? Is it because you need
Speaker 1: some money? Is it because you want a promotions, because
Speaker 1: you want the big house? Or are you doing it
Speaker 1: because you want a peace of mind? Those are the
Speaker 1: things that we are talking about. Just find something to do,
Speaker 1: explore opportunities of drying something new. That's what we got
Speaker 1: right Now I wanted to pop in because I promised
Speaker 1: I was gonna be here, and I want to jump
Speaker 1: into a Vitamin D advice letter. Now I'm just my
Speaker 1: first time laying eyes on it. So you and I
Speaker 1: are going to read this together, and I want to
Speaker 1: welcome you to call me in the studio eight one
Speaker 1: eight four six one fifty four thirty two with your
Speaker 1: comments on this letter. And once I finished with the letter,
Speaker 1: perhaps you want to talk to me about some stuff.
Speaker 1: Come me. Look, I've been off for a week. Y'all said,
Speaker 1: y'all need some Vitamin D. So here is me. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, so here we go. Subject my husband doesn't
Speaker 1: love to cuddle. Let me give a clearance. Y'all know,
Speaker 1: I say, Vitamin D is all about shedding the light
Speaker 1: right on the good and the bad. Because if you
Speaker 1: want to be better and you want to do better,
Speaker 1: you guys to be able to see better. And with
Speaker 1: that being said, that means eight to me to spit
Speaker 1: out the bones. These are my thoughts, views and opinions
Speaker 1: you wrote into me. And if you're wondering, you said,
Speaker 1: you know what doing? I need some of your advice.
Speaker 1: Go ahead and email me Vitamin D at Dawn daispeaks
Speaker 1: dot com. That's vitamin D at Dawn daispeaks dot com.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, here we go subjects. My husband
Speaker 1: doesn't love to cuddle, Dear Dawn. I have a really
Speaker 1: great guy. He cooks, he cleans, he works, and he
Speaker 1: really loves me. We tear off each other's clothes like
Speaker 1: we're still teenagers and we can't keep our hands off
Speaker 1: of each other. He calls me constantly, flowers and balloons
Speaker 1: sent to me at work at least twice a week
Speaker 1: at work in breakfast in bed, simple and expensive but romantic,
Speaker 1: weekend vacations and trips, candle like dinners and slow dancing
Speaker 1: in the kitchen or wherever we are. We have been
Speaker 1: together for five years. It feels so good to me
Speaker 1: in a fantastic relationship with him, except for one thing.
Speaker 1: It's kind of small to him, but so huge to me, Dawn.
Speaker 1: He doesn't like cuddling after sex, usually about six minutes
Speaker 1: or so, he just wants to get up and go
Speaker 1: do something else or go shower me. Though, Dawn, I
Speaker 1: want to be held in his big arms and hear
Speaker 1: his breathing, Dawn, I want to hear his heart beat
Speaker 1: as I lay my head on his chest and just
Speaker 1: close my eyes. I want to lay there knowing and
Speaker 1: feeling the warmth of our love and enjoy the togetherness
Speaker 1: of us, if that makes sense. If we can talk
Speaker 1: or not, just hold me, keep holding me. I've talked
Speaker 1: to him about this before, and he gets really quiet.
Speaker 1: It took some doing, but I asked him to be
Speaker 1: brutally honest with me about why he doesn't want to
Speaker 1: cuddle with me. He says that he loves me, that
Speaker 1: he wants me, that he needs me, and that he
Speaker 1: go crazy without me. But after about a few minutes
Speaker 1: of cuddling, he just wants to get up and do
Speaker 1: something else. But he also said that he wants to
Speaker 1: be a better partner and that he try harder well.
Speaker 1: After sex last night, he lasted a good twenty two
Speaker 1: minutes into Cuttland. But you know what was really cool.
Speaker 1: As he held me, he cried softly into my hair
Speaker 1: and told me that I was his world and that
Speaker 1: he didn't want to ever lose me. He said this
Speaker 1: over and over again. Then he swooped me up into
Speaker 1: his big arms and we bathed together for like twenty minutes.
Speaker 1: Soapy strawberry shampoo, kisses and all and gentle laughter somewhere
Speaker 1: in the middle, Dawn, I heard on one of your
Speaker 1: past shows about cuddling and telling, asking your partner for
Speaker 1: what you want and what you need and intimacy. Wise,
Speaker 1: thought i'd share this with you. Love you and thanks.
Speaker 1: Frankie Lee Buddington, aged forty one, from Dallas, Texas. Well,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, you know. I read this book entitled
Speaker 1: Unlimited Power. Was it by James Baldwin, James Weldon, James
Speaker 1: Weldon Johnson? Oh lord, I hope I'm not repeating the
Speaker 1: name of the guy that wrote the song anyway, even
Speaker 1: it was also co authored or in partnership somehow with
Speaker 1: Tony Robinson, you know, the inspirational, motivational speaker, you know,
Speaker 1: Tony Robbins AnyWho. One of the things that really stood
Speaker 1: out to me in that book, Frankie Lee, was he
Speaker 1: talked about relationships and how oftentimes when dealing with relationships
Speaker 1: and how some relationships you know, go estranged or depart
Speaker 1: or fall apart, is not because couples don't love each other.
Speaker 1: It's because couples aren't speaking the same love language. Wait
Speaker 1: a minute, catch what I'm picking down. It's not that
Speaker 1: couples do not love each other. It's the fact that
Speaker 1: these couples aren't speaking or these two individuals aren't speaking
Speaker 1: the same love language. When do we get the point
Speaker 1: of making room for somebody else's love language? What I
Speaker 1: mean by that? They put this example in the book
Speaker 1: about a couple, a husband and wife. The wife is
Speaker 1: in the kitchen things ready. Her husband comes in. The
Speaker 1: first thing he does is grabs her and gives her
Speaker 1: a kiss. Immediately, she is annoyed, like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: you are all up on me. You can't even say hi, baby,
Speaker 1: how you doing, how's your day? You just all up
Speaker 1: on me? And she was completely offended. He's looking at
Speaker 1: her like, well, what's going on? I came in, baby,
Speaker 1: I'm giving you some loving. But she's annoyed and he's confused.
Speaker 1: Now here's what we gotta look at. It's not about
Speaker 1: this couple. It's not loving on each other. It's just
Speaker 1: that they're not speaking the same language or language in
Speaker 1: which the other person is able to receive. Now, what
Speaker 1: we can identify we know about the love languages are
Speaker 1: right now in case I miss anything, hey, miss Maya
Speaker 1: tuning in, we talk about words about affirmation, quality, time, gifts,
Speaker 1: acts of service, and I'm missing another one. But for
Speaker 1: the sake of the time, in this conversation right here,
Speaker 1: we are looking at the wife, and what does it
Speaker 1: sound like her love language is words of affirmation? What
Speaker 1: does this a love language? Sound like? A touch? Physical touch? So,
Speaker 1: while both of these couples are individuals are expressing love
Speaker 1: to each other that can't be received because she's saying, well,
Speaker 1: why you ain't saying nothing to me? And he like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to love on you, but you're pushing me
Speaker 1: away now in your situation right here, I don't see
Speaker 1: a situation where your husband isn't loving you all the
Speaker 1: things that you see in somebody being present. He's a
Speaker 1: great guy. He cooks, he cleans, he works. You even said,
Speaker 1: he really loves me. You even said, after being together
Speaker 1: for five years, it feels good to be in a
Speaker 1: fantastic relationship. Except he doesn't like coddling. You even said,
Speaker 1: after most recently y'all became intimate, he hugged on you
Speaker 1: and cried in your hair, professed about the fact of
Speaker 1: how much he loved you. And then y'all got in
Speaker 1: a shower for another twenty minutes, but yet it's still
Speaker 1: not speaking to you as enough. Now you said that
Speaker 1: you have communicated with him.
Speaker 3: What you know?
Speaker 1: I'm all about communication Cmune and communication is not always
Speaker 1: being said, but also how the person is receiving it. Now,
Speaker 1: how long you want this cut in the last boom?
Speaker 1: Is this like an all day thing? Do you have
Speaker 1: a time living among hours? Because it's not that he's
Speaker 1: not cuddling with you. You just said the other day y'all
Speaker 1: was intimate and y'all were cuddling away, And I almost
Speaker 1: chuckled a little bit because you said he lasted a
Speaker 1: good twenty two minutes. I meant, what is your point
Speaker 1: of where you want to say that's enough cuddling? Is it?
Speaker 1: Thirty minutes? Is an hours? And a couple hours? Then
Speaker 1: y'all want into the shower. So I got to ask
Speaker 1: you what is it that you want? And how are
Speaker 1: you communicating get with one another? So are you at
Speaker 1: the brink where you're about to break up with this
Speaker 1: man because he's not cutting liing on you enough. He
Speaker 1: shows up, he cooks, he cleans, he takes care of
Speaker 1: the bills, He lets you know that you he loves you,
Speaker 1: what does this mean for you and what does it
Speaker 1: look like for enough to be enough? Have you communicated
Speaker 1: even the times and when he's ready to stop, is
Speaker 1: he open to try doing again? I don't think this
Speaker 1: is grounds of breaking a relationship. I think this is
Speaker 1: more and so getting to know your partner. But at
Speaker 1: the same token, at the same time, it's not a
Speaker 1: moment of where you're not feel in love. It's just
Speaker 1: that maybe it's not enough or it has to come
Speaker 1: on harder because it's not like he's not paying you attention.
Speaker 1: And I guess I'm just even reflecting on your letter.
Speaker 1: Are you asking a question? Are you asking a question
Speaker 1: on what you should do? It sounds like you have
Speaker 1: communicated it with him. Is it enough where you feel
Speaker 1: like this cuddling is not enough for you, but enough
Speaker 1: for you to have to walk away to find somebody
Speaker 1: else again? You got five years in a game with him.
Speaker 1: You definitely said you feel loved. You definitely said he
Speaker 1: feels like I mean, he is a great guy. You
Speaker 1: definitely said he cuddles with you in a bed, but
Speaker 1: it's just not long enough. Okay, are you majoring in
Speaker 1: the minor? I mean, these are all simple questions. I
Speaker 1: think that before you decide to make it any major moves,
Speaker 1: make wrong for your husband. And see how he's trying
Speaker 1: to show up, Cause again it's not like y'all getting
Speaker 1: it in and he's just getting up walking away. He's
Speaker 1: giving you a moment, But how much of a moment
Speaker 1: do you need? And I'm not trying to say nothing
Speaker 1: smart way, I'm just saying, reflect on yourself of whether
Speaker 1: or not you are feeling loved, you are feeling wanted,
Speaker 1: but clearly his actions are saying that way. But then
Speaker 1: there's a thing where you're not receiving it. And I
Speaker 1: want you to be mindfuls because what I don't want
Speaker 1: to happen is that you develop a sense of resentment.
Speaker 1: What I don't want to happen is that you end
Speaker 1: up stepping out because you feel as though you aren't
Speaker 1: being loved of how you want to be loved. And
Speaker 1: who am I to tell you that you need to
Speaker 1: relax and chill, Okay, I'm just here to point it
Speaker 1: out to know what you are standing up against. Because
Speaker 1: if you decide to walk away from this man because
Speaker 1: you feel as though he is not cuddling with you
Speaker 1: for thirty minutes instead of twenty two or now we're
Speaker 1: are several hours after that. Look at all what you're
Speaker 1: giving up as well, because he's a great guy. He cooks,
Speaker 1: he cleans, and what I really appreciate is that you communicate.
Speaker 1: So maybe it's probably something that you guys need to
Speaker 1: do activities and figure out how it went. More ways
Speaker 1: and field where you can have his attention and perhaps
Speaker 1: have some more cuddling, or maybe you just need to
Speaker 1: have some more sacks. I'm just saying, if you know
Speaker 1: what's gonna be a bit of a cuddling, put yourselves
Speaker 1: in moments when you got a cut, Let's watch a movie, baby. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's the best advice I want to give to you. Okay,
Speaker 1: he's giving you the kiss. It says he's crying in
Speaker 1: your hair. It's not like he's coming home and acting
Speaker 1: like you're not there. Hey, all right, Frankie Lee. I
Speaker 1: hope that was able to give you some insight. Don't
Speaker 1: give up on this marriage just yet. Do not give
Speaker 1: on this relationship. It's just say this man loves you,
Speaker 1: he appreciates you, and he honors and he values you.
Speaker 1: Do not lose on a relationship where somebody is loving
Speaker 1: on you. Okay, that's what I got to say, Dawn,
Speaker 1: like the break of day. Hey, all right, okay, I'm
Speaker 1: living a studio. Thank you so much for joined me.
Speaker 1: Let me see who I got. Miss Mayan. She just
Speaker 1: listened there. She said, you are high mess. Just keeping
Speaker 1: it real. So you know the dam coming in coming,
Speaker 1: in coming in oh man. So I'm glad to be
Speaker 1: back in the studio. I could have probad some more stories,
Speaker 1: but baby, I'm just glad that I pulled up today.
Speaker 1: And like I said before, I was all for an
Speaker 1: entire week. I was getting everything ready for my performance
Speaker 1: at the Groundlings. I put up a picture on Facebook.
Speaker 1: Go check it out. And I have another show coming
Speaker 1: up January sixth. This is a Monday at eight o'clock.
Speaker 1: Would love to see you there. Also, I didn't even
Speaker 1: tell you call me, let me know what's been going
Speaker 1: on with you, was going on in your world around you?
Speaker 1: Eight one eight four six one fifty four thirty two.
Speaker 1: I about to put in the chat call me because
Speaker 1: I did the Vitamin D dervice letter. And now I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest with you. I didn't prepare for nothing else.
Speaker 1: I was just glad I got into the studio, but
Speaker 1: I want to hear from you do. We definitely will
Speaker 1: be coming in with more content, maybe even a guest,
Speaker 1: but for sure, I guess probably next week on the
Speaker 1: podcast while we're doing a live Otherwise I could have
Speaker 1: recorded this at home my guests. But know it's something
Speaker 1: about being in the moment. Being in the moment. Ms
Speaker 1: Mian said, that's why I love you. She says, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, the picket fire. Thank you so much. How
Speaker 1: you doing is mine? You want to call on me
Speaker 1: and let me know what's been going on in your
Speaker 1: world this past week. I'd love to hear from you
Speaker 1: or somebody. I got a couple eyeballs on me. I
Speaker 1: got a couple eyeballs on me in the studio. I
Speaker 1: would love to know what you feel. I know Trump
Speaker 1: is making some plans right now, was about to come
Speaker 1: into twenty twenty four. I also want to make a
Speaker 1: correction since we're on that topic of that someone that
Speaker 1: really broke it down talking about the difference between migrants
Speaker 1: and people who are illegal here. Hey, mis Mac so
Speaker 1: good to be seen and not to be viewed. Well,
Speaker 1: thank you so much, thank you. I guess I'm glad
Speaker 1: that you know I did. Neither. I want to talk
Speaker 1: about something else today because just based off of just
Speaker 1: rifting on what we're talking about about staying at home
Speaker 1: and and why it's so important to show up because
Speaker 1: this is part of the dream, right And I think
Speaker 1: oftentimes when we look at the pursuit of the dream
Speaker 1: that is supposed to look like a certain way. I
Speaker 1: know what I risked, I know what I sacrificed to
Speaker 1: be able to come in this studio. And now I'm
Speaker 1: in a situation where I have reliable transportation, I have
Speaker 1: a studio at my leisure, I have access to a studio.
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you show up? And I'm saying that to you,
Speaker 1: why aren't you showing up for your dreams? If there
Speaker 1: is anything that you have inspired to do that you
Speaker 1: would like to do, I got to ask you why
Speaker 1: you aren't showing up? Like I said, I was talking
Speaker 1: to a dear friend who is in the entertainment industry
Speaker 1: as well. But it's in a mode of feeling like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this age and I'm not experiencing the
Speaker 1: comfortable life that I want. It's not happening at the
Speaker 1: pace that I want. I'm looking at where I am
Speaker 1: right now and I'm saying this is not what I want.
Speaker 1: But then I have to ask that's them. I said, well,
Speaker 1: what is your comfort look like? Is your comfort having
Speaker 1: enough money but doing a job that you hate. Is
Speaker 1: your comfort going after something that you love and not
Speaker 1: having all the money but knowing that when it does hit,
Speaker 1: it's gonna hit. What is your level? And that is
Speaker 1: something only you can answer. Also, if you are trying
Speaker 1: to figure it out what it is that you want,
Speaker 1: what is it that you want to do? Have you
Speaker 1: truly stepped out and stepped into everything that has made
Speaker 1: an interest to you. I can't tell you how many
Speaker 1: times I talked to people that said, I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is that I want. You know, they say
Speaker 1: that the richest place in the world is in the cemetery.
Speaker 1: That's how many people have died with their dreams. And
Speaker 1: I'm thinking perhaps that a lot of people feel like
Speaker 1: it didn't happen at the time, and that they want
Speaker 1: it didn't show up, or they didn't feel prepared, or
Speaker 1: perhaps they had more regrets, or perhaps they spent so
Speaker 1: much time being distracted, wasting it on other people other
Speaker 1: things and doing things they ain't had no business doing.
Speaker 1: Why is that? And there is no right or wrong answer.
Speaker 1: It just all depends on what is in port you
Speaker 1: and that is going to require you to take some time.
Speaker 1: That is going to require you to take some time
Speaker 1: to get to know yourself, to what ignites you, what
Speaker 1: gets you excited, what gives you the rush, and realizing
Speaker 1: that the journey is the experience, and the experience is
Speaker 1: the journey. Get off of the idea whatever this destination
Speaker 1: looks like, because guess what, once you get there, you're
Speaker 1: still gonna be seeking more. Once you get there, you'll
Speaker 1: realize the top of this mountain is the bottom of
Speaker 1: an next. Once you on your pursuit there, you're going
Speaker 1: to realize that you're gonna fall. You're gonna bump your head,
Speaker 1: you're gonna hit yourself. But what do I say? If
Speaker 1: you can look up, you can get up. Your location
Speaker 1: is not your destination. If you fall down seven times,
Speaker 1: get up eight period. All I'm saying is this time
Speaker 1: that we got here right now is limited. Okay, there's
Speaker 1: no reason why you should be in a space of
Speaker 1: being lost for too long. Not saying there's a time limit,
Speaker 1: but feeling lost because if there is anything that has
Speaker 1: ever intrigued you, anything that has ever sparked your interest,
Speaker 1: anything that has gotten you excited, go after it and
Speaker 1: get it. Have I made all the money that I
Speaker 1: want to make and that I'm going to make? No,
Speaker 1: But I've had a cushy jobs with notable individuals and
Speaker 1: sat there thinking like, why am I feeling still hurt?
Speaker 1: Why does it feel like it's not enough. I'm at
Speaker 1: a reputable company, I'm working with a major celebrity. Because
Speaker 1: what I realized is I wasn't choosing me, And I
Speaker 1: got to ask you, have you decided to choose yourself?
Speaker 1: You know what? You're choosing yourself because there's gonna be
Speaker 1: a different kind of happiness, a different kind of piece,
Speaker 1: and not saying a piece that everything is going all right.
Speaker 1: But the times that you're gonna want to give up,
Speaker 1: you're gonna find something that's gonna you keep on going.
Speaker 1: And that's how you know. When it puts a smile
Speaker 1: on your when it gets you excited, when it wakes
Speaker 1: you up in the middle of night, wakes you up
Speaker 1: earlier than you want to, or perhaps you spend them
Speaker 1: more time on it, then what you should be and
Speaker 1: I say should be in quotes. Then that is required.
Speaker 1: That is how you know what you love. That is
Speaker 1: how you live your life on purpose and for a purpose.
Speaker 1: Because what do I say? We here for a good time,
Speaker 1: not a long time. So make account once this time
Speaker 1: is spent, has gone forever. That's why they say time
Speaker 1: is your most valuable asset. But I tell you, and
Speaker 1: I remind you after each episode, how you are your
Speaker 1: greatest asset. If we were to look at it like
Speaker 1: I would always say about your life, bank account, and
Speaker 1: how you are your greatest asset? What are you depositing
Speaker 1: and what are you withdrawing from your account? And depositing
Speaker 1: can look like giving your self affirmations, loving on yourself,
Speaker 1: taking care of yourself, spending your time with people that
Speaker 1: value you. Now, what does a withdrawal look like? Getting
Speaker 1: destrys doing something that doesn't serve you? And what do
Speaker 1: I say if it doesn't serve you, it doesn't deserve you.
Speaker 1: Respecting yourself or not respecting yourself and not taking a
Speaker 1: chance on yourself? And what you're gonna have to realize? Actually,
Speaker 1: I just posted this up on threads. Can I share
Speaker 1: something with you? Let me know how you think about this.
Speaker 1: I see you all of them here. Let me know
Speaker 1: how you think about this quote that I saw it
Speaker 1: and immediately I had to repost it. What you're not changing,
Speaker 1: you're choosing. Did you catch it? Let me say this again,
Speaker 1: What you're not changing, you are choosing. Now here's the thing.
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to be honest about what you want
Speaker 1: in life. Can we say something else? Can we truly
Speaker 1: say everything that you have truly wanted, you've desired, that
Speaker 1: you really put effort in, You've gotten it. That's why
Speaker 1: they say gratitude is everything. The more grateful you are,
Speaker 1: the more things you you have to be grateful for.
Speaker 1: Don't tell me you can't do it, because you have
Speaker 1: surprised one hundred percent of the worst days of your life.
Speaker 1: So yeah, you can be down and out right now.
Speaker 1: But I don't know why you counting yourself out. I
Speaker 1: don't know why you're striking yourself out because you felt
Speaker 1: like you were in despair before, but you're still here.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I got some witness centers of
Speaker 1: the house. But if I do, can you come eight
Speaker 1: one eight four six, one five four three two eight
Speaker 1: one eight four six one five four three two. Take
Speaker 1: a chance on yourself because we're here for a good time,
Speaker 1: not a long time. Can't nobody tell you what your
Speaker 1: joy is supposed to be. Can't nobody else tell you
Speaker 1: what it's supposed to look like. You gotta know what
Speaker 1: it feels like. If you want to know the truth,
Speaker 1: you know the truth by the way that it feels.
Speaker 1: How does your life feel for you? And remember, if
Speaker 1: you aren't changing it, you're choosing it. I know that's
Speaker 1: probably a source spot for a lot of people. You
Speaker 1: have the power to change your life. Can I go
Speaker 1: into it one more time? In this conversation that I
Speaker 1: had to ard a friend last after my show talking
Speaker 1: about I said, wow, down, I wanted to support you
Speaker 1: because I know that you spend six and a half
Speaker 1: years going after this. Huh. I said, well, whatever is
Speaker 1: your thing, that's what you do. I said. For me
Speaker 1: to be able to sacrifice and risk, I know the
Speaker 1: rush and excitement something brings to me, and I know
Speaker 1: what my level of comfort looks like, meaning I may
Speaker 1: not have all the money to my disposal, but I
Speaker 1: got a different level of peace of mind knowing that
Speaker 1: I'm going after something that I truly want, not because
Speaker 1: it looks good on the outside, not because it gives
Speaker 1: so much money. Again, my situation is different because I
Speaker 1: don't have little beings that I am depending on or
Speaker 1: a whole significant other that is depending on me. I
Speaker 1: am dependent on me. I am taking a chance on myself.
Speaker 1: So yes, in that aspect, it looks different from my life.
Speaker 1: But what does it look like for your life? These
Speaker 1: are just the things I'm talking about. These are the
Speaker 1: things I'm saying. I'm just here to remind you to
Speaker 1: take a chance on yourself, go after something that you want,
Speaker 1: because once the time is gone, it's gone. Okay, So
Speaker 1: again I'm gonna open it up. Otherwise we're gonna wrap
Speaker 1: it on up.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 1: My purpose of going live is to make sure that
Speaker 1: I connect with you, to make sure we share our thoughts,
Speaker 1: our views, and our opinions. And I didn't share some views.
Speaker 1: I didn't share some thoughts, and I damn sure I
Speaker 1: shared some opinions. So call me in right now, let
Speaker 1: me know if there's any topics, if there's anything that
Speaker 1: you've heard in the news, and you can put that
Speaker 1: in a comet. If not, I want to say thank
Speaker 1: you so much for pulling up on me. Thank you
Speaker 1: so much for feeling like you wanted to take some
Speaker 1: time to pull up on me because there was something
Speaker 1: you had to say. Okay, so I'm gonna wait about

Speaker 1: family member who we all respecting and trust that I
Speaker 1: took advantage stolen everything and they did it on purpose. Okay,
Speaker 1: So now if this family member is taking advantage again
Speaker 1: and stealing things from you again, that would have to
Speaker 1: be a shame on you.

Speaker 3: and he sent me a voicemail last year and told
Speaker 3: me what was going on with him, and I really
Speaker 3: didn't want to believe it. But why would he do that?
Speaker 3: Now he was selling properties and trying to liquidate stuff
Speaker 3: to be easier for us. But it was like a scam,
Speaker 3: you know. I mean, I'm about to get off the phone.

Speaker 3: You know, it's it's bad and I'm just keep in
Speaker 3: mind composure, being humble. But they didn't know about my
Speaker 3: other account, so it's hard. You know, you got to
Speaker 3: follow your gut instinct and just you know, when you
Speaker 3: everybody has a first mind that's spiritual. When you're driving
Speaker 3: your car or walking, something tells you to go this
Speaker 3: way astead of the other way. Everybody knows this. Whatever
Speaker 3: that first thought, first mind, follow it because that's spiritual
Speaker 3: guidance to keep you abreast and keep you safe. And

Speaker 4: I'm saying, and be seen in the in the public space.
Speaker 4: You know, I ain't been out a while, so I
Speaker 4: had to get out. Let me let me get straight here.
Speaker 4: Hold on a second, okay, and and uh, you know,
Speaker 4: when you go live, I always try and tune in. Uh,
Speaker 4: you know, I'm busy a lot most of the time.
Speaker 4: I day on into eight o'clock at night.
Speaker 3: But it is what it is.
Speaker 4: But yeah, we are doing some good stuff over here
Speaker 4: at gig and getting the game. We gotta the young
Speaker 4: lady he's to the street. I don't want to mess
Speaker 4: her name up, but I call her Keyky. Everybody calls
Speaker 4: her key Key. She's over here in our plaza and
Speaker 4: she does She does fool giveaways every week. She has
Speaker 4: a health clinic, come out every other Monday and do things.
Speaker 4: So we got it going on on the corner of
Speaker 4: Samarron and Manchester over there, we're looking for some people
Speaker 4: to sign up for some of these union classes. All
Speaker 4: these union positions are out here needing to be filled,
Speaker 4: and they just need some people that's willing to to
Speaker 4: put to work in. You know, it's not easy, it's
Speaker 4: it's a it's a battle, but it's just definitely worth it,
Speaker 4: you know.
Speaker 1: So what's the union classes? What's this about? For anybody
Speaker 1: that's like, wait, what is Marcus Savage talking about?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I'm talking about union union positions in the carpentry,
Speaker 4: the field of carpentry, plumbing, electrical electricians, electricians, and the
Speaker 4: other a lot of few, a few other trades that
Speaker 4: you can get into, you know, entry level positions. And
Speaker 4: all these positions again don't require any any type of experience.
Speaker 4: They just require a card work and determination to make
Speaker 4: it and succeed, you know, And a lot of people
Speaker 4: get in and they don't have the guidance and they
Speaker 4: don't understand the the rules, you know, any any anytime
Speaker 4: you get a job or or whatever we like to
Speaker 4: say careers. We don't like to use the J word.
Speaker 4: You know, there's rules and you have to follow rules
Speaker 4: and you to understand the game. And so that's when
Speaker 4: we come in. We help you understand your role as
Speaker 4: an employee, as a new person on the job site,
Speaker 4: on the breaking into an industry that's filled with a
Speaker 4: lot of people that may not look like you, and
Speaker 4: different cultures, right that are going to interact with each
Speaker 4: other for eight hours or ten hours. You spend more time,
Speaker 4: you know, at work than you do with your family.
Speaker 4: So if you can get along and understand the culture
Speaker 4: and the rules of engagement being you are are more
Speaker 4: likely to be successful, and for many.
Speaker 1: Of us, we don't have that kind of training ground.
Speaker 1: Wh's basically it's almost like I got you. Let me
Speaker 1: show you how you walk into an interview, the type
Speaker 1: of questions you may have, just to be comfortable of
Speaker 1: selling yourself and showing off your skills, and more importantly,
Speaker 1: like you said, being in the space that you can
Speaker 1: acquire these skills.
Speaker 4: It's like your body language, you know, it says volumes.
Speaker 4: You know, how you walk, how you follow instructions. Do
Speaker 4: you write the instructions down or do you got to
Speaker 4: ask them five times? So these things matter, you know,
Speaker 4: especially your first what ninety days thirty days really two weeks,
Speaker 4: because you got about a week or two for them
Speaker 4: to either like you or not like you. That's anywhere
Speaker 4: you go, So you know, the first impression is going
Speaker 4: to be the most important one, you know. And if
Speaker 4: you understand the rules of a game before you start
Speaker 4: playing that game, you know you can you can almost
Speaker 4: you know, guarantee you your success.
Speaker 1: Come on, you know. And that's why I just love
Speaker 1: the name of the title your organization, the name of
Speaker 1: your organization. Get in the game. It's get in the game.
Speaker 1: Be a player in this game of life. Unless you
Speaker 1: know what I.
Speaker 4: Mean, and to think about it. Go ahead. I always say,
Speaker 4: put me in, a coach, Put.
Speaker 1: Put me in, coach, Put me in, because I'm ready
Speaker 1: to play. And people got so much to say on
Speaker 1: the sidelines. And that's why I'm saying, like, if you
Speaker 1: want a sideline right now, because you are concerned whether
Speaker 1: or not you got a record, if you on the
Speaker 1: sideline right now because you don't feel like though you
Speaker 1: got enough experience, If you want a sideline right now
Speaker 1: that you don't know where you can go, well, I'm
Speaker 1: telling you it's time to get in the game. And
Speaker 1: you can do that with market Ravig. Now we're talking
Speaker 1: about expungeing records. So individuals who have a record who
Speaker 1: are looking to get a high paying job, it's possible.
Speaker 4: Yep, yep.
Speaker 1: Now you said you mentioned go ahead.
Speaker 4: No, I was gonna say, I'm actually getting some stuff
Speaker 4: off my record this this December on the fourth when
Speaker 4: they come out. I had some stuff that they say
Speaker 4: they couldn't expunge when I first get it. And now
Speaker 4: the laws changed, and guess what that thing that that's
Speaker 4: on there is about to be off. So again, you know,
Speaker 4: you never know unless you show. You know, you never know.
Speaker 1: Unless you it's trying to show up. Pull up, walk up,
Speaker 1: crawl up to. Now about these union jobs, how much
Speaker 1: do they pay?
Speaker 3: Good?
Speaker 1: Like, why would somebody want a union job?
Speaker 4: Well, a union job normally starts off paying about what
Speaker 4: any other any other position will pay, you know, seventeen
Speaker 4: to twenty dollars an hour.
Speaker 3: But the beautiful thing.
Speaker 4: About a union position is is you start off as
Speaker 4: an apprentice, right and everybody knows that a prentchice means
Speaker 4: to train, so they're going to be training you. It's
Speaker 4: all on the job training. And we we like to
Speaker 4: say our model is earn why you learn, and so
Speaker 4: you earned what you learn. And at the end of
Speaker 4: four years or some unions is different just depending on
Speaker 4: the trades you pick. I think the electricians might maybe
Speaker 4: five or six right at the end of that, then
Speaker 4: you get what you call a journeyman certificate. And so
Speaker 4: all throughout your apprenticeship. Every Like I talk about the
Speaker 4: carpenters because I'm a carpenter and that's what I know,
Speaker 4: and so I share what I know with the Carpenter's Union.
Speaker 4: About every six hundred dollars you get a raised oh wow.
Speaker 4: And that raise might be two dollars, it might be
Speaker 4: three dollars. So you go from say, say, say you
Speaker 4: start off at nineteen dollars an hour as a first
Speaker 4: period of prentice. By the time you get to your
Speaker 4: age stage, which is eight eight stages of apprenticeship, you're
Speaker 4: at fifty something dollars an hour, forty something dollars an
Speaker 4: hour every hour an hour? Are you and you know, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't understand why why why? I can't even understand
Speaker 1: how you putting a call out there for people to
Speaker 1: get trained, to people to get paid?
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 1: Are people not? Are they not showing up? Is how
Speaker 1: how they can? Because this is insane to me.
Speaker 4: Well, a lot of people don't know about it, you know,
Speaker 4: and a lot of people, you know, I just say,
Speaker 4: a lot of people don't know about it, you know.
Speaker 4: And it is it is tough to make it, you know,
Speaker 4: it's it's it's a it's a it's a tough trade.
Speaker 4: All the trades are tough. But you know, anything that's
Speaker 4: tough is definitely worth it because the amount of money
Speaker 4: that you can make for a lifetime, right, you know,
Speaker 4: once you learn a skill, a trade, electrical elect you know, electricians, plumbers, HVAC.
Speaker 4: My son's a elevator mechanic, and you know, can you
Speaker 4: imagine earning potential for a lifetime of that. You know,
Speaker 4: wherever you are, there's gonna be an elevator, there's gonna
Speaker 4: be some plumbing. You know, somebody's life's gonna go out.
Speaker 4: And so you know, once you get those skills, you know,
Speaker 4: under your belt, and on top of all of that,
Speaker 4: you get that Journeyman certificate. Now you are certificate eyes right,
Speaker 4: that's a new word, certificate Eyes. And you are eligible
Speaker 4: for other other areas that require a certificate in construction
Speaker 4: like building inspector, you know, like building maintenance persons, like
Speaker 4: home inspection, like contractor general contractor. So you have all
Speaker 4: these their doors that open up once you receive your
Speaker 4: Journeyman certificate. And I always stress people when they get
Speaker 4: into the to the union or when they join up
Speaker 4: in the union, the journey is just the beginning to
Speaker 4: get to that Journeyman certificate. That's what you want, that's
Speaker 4: your goal, you know, And a lot of people don't
Speaker 4: even get there because again they don't have the game.
Speaker 4: Because they get in and they work a job and
Speaker 4: you know they maybe they don't show up to a
Speaker 4: meet union meeting. Maybe they do, but the union doesn't
Speaker 4: explain the benefits of being an apprentice. You know, only
Speaker 4: the only the people, the only people that know the
Speaker 4: benefits of being the apprentice are the journeymen that have
Speaker 4: completed their apprenticeship program. And guess who they shared with.
Speaker 4: They share it with the FBI, their friends, brothers and
Speaker 4: in law. Right, and so you know that that gives
Speaker 4: you a good idea of why you see the makeup
Speaker 4: of construction as it is.
Speaker 1: And you know what, the advancement of technology going into
Speaker 1: the trades would be super ideal right now, right, yes,
Speaker 1: I never thought, you know, I thought about like the uh,
Speaker 1: the funeral business. I didn't think about like elevators, plumbing.
Speaker 1: I don't know if robots can do that. But you know,
Speaker 1: different things change, different things need to be applied. But
Speaker 1: these are the jobs that you got to look at.
Speaker 5: And it ain't it doesn't even letter if a robot
Speaker 5: can do it, or now somebody has to program the
Speaker 5: robot and that's consider a traform for the robots to
Speaker 5: do their stuff. Right, you know, our our trade is here,
Speaker 5: get in the game. G I t G dot com right, yep, No, we.
Speaker 4: Actually are launching a new website. It's coming out really soon.
Speaker 4: We had a dot com and were changing it to
Speaker 4: dot org because that's what the uh you know, the
Speaker 4: organ is that the training and the educational organizations used.
Speaker 4: So we're revamping. Like I said, we've been shopping the
Speaker 4: screw in our organization trying to trying to get it
Speaker 4: right and get it right on, you know, in line
Speaker 4: with everything, and make sure we are you know, ready
Speaker 4: for the people. So if you guys come out on
Speaker 4: the fourth of December, reach out to us, give us
Speaker 4: a call six six one two nine five.
Speaker 1: Six wait six one twit wait six six one.
Speaker 4: Two nine three nine one three five.
Speaker 1: Now you just said you mentioned uh, Key to the Street.
Speaker 1: You said you you mentioned her every week. What's that about.
Speaker 4: Well, she is a wonderful lady. That's a wonderful person
Speaker 4: that has an organization called Key to the Streets. They're
Speaker 4: non profit five oh one C three, just like us,
Speaker 4: and they do they do mainly fool giveaways. They do
Speaker 4: health clinics every month day at our location on Manchester
Speaker 4: Cemarron right in the parking lot. They have to help
Speaker 4: clinic band come up. They actually is doing taco Tuesday.
Speaker 4: So she sells tacos for like a dollar or two
Speaker 4: dollars or something like that on Tuesday, just to joke,
Speaker 4: you know, generate money for a nonprofit. She accepts donated clothes.
Speaker 4: She has a threat store there where you can come
Speaker 4: in if you know you're low on cash. You can
Speaker 4: get some nice stuff that's donated. It's all clean and
Speaker 4: you know, some nice stuff because I've donated some nice
Speaker 4: suits and some nice stuff.

Speaker 6: or dad can't get them a lot, they can come
Speaker 6: by there and she'll give them some stuff, you know.
Speaker 6: So it's we're we're just trying to be a community
Speaker 6: center over on Manchester and Samarai. So you know, we're
Speaker 6: we're just trying to be there for the people. You
Speaker 6: need some employment advice, come on down, you know. They
Speaker 6: maybe you need a rest excuse me, maybe you need
Speaker 6: a resume. Maybe heck, maybe you need a reference. You know,
Speaker 6: I'll get to talking to you and if I feel
Speaker 6: good about it, I get you a reference you know
Speaker 6: people if I can say something nice about you. So again,
Speaker 6: we're just here to help the people, and anything we
Speaker 6: can do in the community, we are going to do
Speaker 6: and be there. Uh So that that's really it for us.
Speaker 1: I really appreciate.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 1: One thing that stood out to me, or standing out
Speaker 1: to me right now talking about getting the game, is
Speaker 1: that other organizations that I know help people get their
Speaker 1: records expunge and training them. I was informed like with
Speaker 1: other organizations, unlike yours, it's unpaid training, and that has
Speaker 1: kind of deterred people because you're in a situation where
Speaker 1: you need the money right now. And another executive director
Speaker 1: we're telling me at the organization that it's hard to
Speaker 1: get people to keep coming or to come back because
Speaker 1: they want to check or the money right then and there.
Speaker 4: But you're saying, hey, well we're not We're not able
Speaker 4: to offer the pay any paid training. But what we
Speaker 4: do is we can link you up. We can link
Speaker 4: you up with some of the organizations that do do
Speaker 4: the paid training because a lot of those organizations, I
Speaker 4: was an instructor for CI, Brothers, Keepers, PV Jobs. I
Speaker 4: was in instructor for all those organizations. And so when
Speaker 4: I meet you, I can definitely link you up with
Speaker 4: that organization that does that. And that's kind of like
Speaker 4: what I kind of like what I like to do,
Speaker 4: because I would love for a person to go into
Speaker 4: or PV jobs or Brother's Keepers, you know, or CI
Speaker 4: with the knowledge of what it takes to be successful
Speaker 4: and now they're going to get the training and they
Speaker 4: have the knowledge already right right, so it goes hand
Speaker 4: in hand, you know. I just want to give them
Speaker 4: the knowledge that they need, you know, maybe a little
Speaker 4: hands on training. Hey, And believe me, it is definitely
Speaker 4: worth the time, you know, because because your time is
Speaker 4: I know, valuable. But can you imagine my time as
Speaker 4: an instructor, as a business owner that I'm taking out
Speaker 4: to share my knowledge and give my game for free
Speaker 4: to you? Wow? You know that's what you have to
Speaker 4: look at the value that you're receiving. And if you
Speaker 4: can't see the value in what I'm giving, then this
Speaker 4: program is definitely not for you. But trust me, the
Speaker 4: people that that pull up, they see the value. And
Speaker 4: that's that's why I do it. I I speak to
Speaker 4: these guys and ladies all the time, you know, and
Speaker 4: so the value is definitely there.
Speaker 1: You know right, So I hope everybody is listening. Take
Speaker 1: advantage of the value. If you are listening right now
Speaker 1: and you happen to be in the LA area, check
Speaker 1: out Getting the Game, g I t G soon, tobe
Speaker 1: dot org, g I TG dot org and link up
Speaker 1: with Marcus Savage. Let me give you the number. Everybody
Speaker 1: six six one two nine three ninety one thirty five
Speaker 1: again sixty six one two nine three ninety one thirty five.
Speaker 1: Make market calendars because within less than a month there
Speaker 1: is a record expungement workshop happening on the corner of
Speaker 1: Manchester and Cimarron from nine am to twelve pm. I'm
Speaker 1: talking live music, I'm talking about food, giving away clothes,
Speaker 1: and most importantly giving you employment information. How many people
Speaker 1: looking for a job, who wants to start a new
Speaker 1: gear with a new job, knowing they got a new
Speaker 1: skill set and knowing they with somebody that got they back, Well,
Speaker 1: that's that day of Marcus.
Speaker 4: Give it up, giving up the game. We're trying to
Speaker 4: give up the game. We're trying to let the people know, look,
Speaker 4: just how you do it. We're gonna give your instructions
Speaker 4: on how to be successful.
Speaker 1: You know, a mentor of mine here at Premier Networks.
Speaker 1: He says, you know, one thing you realize when you're
Speaker 1: aligning yourself with people and you're trying to move up,
Speaker 1: and how you know you're really talking to somebody that
Speaker 1: is successful because successful people want to teach other people
Speaker 1: how to be successful. And I know you successful because
Speaker 1: you're talking about teaching other people and just listening and learning.
Speaker 1: How you're you're building and you're growing, like in so
Speaker 1: many ways, even down with the location and having different
Speaker 1: individuals holding events there in spaces and doing different things.
Speaker 1: I love in Marcus. Are you there every week or
Speaker 1: only when you're doing your workshops?
Speaker 4: Well, I'm I'm I'm in and out every day. The
Speaker 4: office is open, but we're you know, you have to
Speaker 4: make an appointment, So if you make an appointment, I'll
Speaker 4: be there. I'm a general contractor, so I'm in the
Speaker 4: field most of the day. But if someone wants to
Speaker 4: come in at two o'clock or or four o'clock and
Speaker 4: sit down for one on one or some information, I
Speaker 4: can definitely do that. But we are going to be
Speaker 4: holding some workshops in twenty twenty five, doing some sign
Speaker 4: ups and stuff. But you know, right now, We're just
Speaker 4: on a on a case by case basis, but we
Speaker 4: do do stuff that we do come to you like
Speaker 4: a location. So if you have an organization or you
Speaker 4: want us to come and speak to your to your
Speaker 4: to your students or your you know, your whoever you you're,
Speaker 4: you're pretty much we can definitely come out to your
Speaker 4: organization and do a presentation, depending on you know, what
Speaker 4: your needs are. It can be an hour presentation, it
Speaker 4: could be a six month presentation where we get in
Speaker 4: get down and dirty with tools and stuff like that,
Speaker 4: equipment and you know, it just depends on the organizational needs.
Speaker 4: So that's what we're really looking to do to partner
Speaker 4: with other organizations that already have a a roster student
Speaker 4: that we can just enhance their you know, their training.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm thinking. A coalition, Yes, that's it right,
Speaker 1: get in the game, coalition of rupal organizations that has
Speaker 1: the same mission of helping people be better and to
Speaker 1: do better. And that means you're gonna have to see
Speaker 1: better with these opportunities that are presented in front of you.
Speaker 1: And the thing that I love about this markets this
Speaker 1: is all unto an individual. How do you want to
Speaker 1: change your life? How do you want to show up
Speaker 1: in your life? We you got to get out the
Speaker 1: way of making excuses talking about you. Ain't got the
Speaker 1: experience talking about you, ain't got the access talking about
Speaker 1: you limited because you got to make it because you
Speaker 1: have set the record straight. Come as you are and
Speaker 1: let me give up the game to you. Here's what
Speaker 1: I would say, don't play with me, play with yourself
Speaker 1: that part right there, period.
Speaker 4: That alt right, because we don't got no time for
Speaker 4: that right We here for a.
Speaker 1: Good time, not a long time, and we gotta have
Speaker 1: to make account. And making account means taking a chance
Speaker 1: for yourself. Making an account means seeking out those resources.
Speaker 1: Making a count is to be better and to do
Speaker 1: better with your life because you have chosen it. So,
Speaker 1: ain't no more excuses about I got this record, ain't
Speaker 1: no excuses, I ain't got no skills set, Ain't no
Speaker 1: more excuses talking about you. God, ain't got no mentor
Speaker 1: because Marcus Savage is on the line right now. Marcus
Speaker 1: Savage the founder of getting the Game dot org, helping
Speaker 1: people get back into the trades and make your money
Speaker 1: at your leisure, doing what you gotta do, and having
Speaker 1: somebody that had got your back to show you how
Speaker 1: to do it.
Speaker 4: Help with some positions at Jiffy Loop. If anybody looking
Speaker 4: for something to go to work, like next week or
Speaker 4: next month, or you know, something for the holidays, they
Speaker 4: you know, we have a few employers that you know,
Speaker 4: give our our applicants a special eye may apply. So
Speaker 4: you know, if if someone's looking for a job, we
Speaker 4: can help you with that too. But we'd like to
Speaker 4: we like to concentrate on the careers and getting their longevity.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: I always like to say, uh, you know, when you
Speaker 4: have a career, you know, you can you can take
Speaker 4: a vacation.
Speaker 7: You know, you can plan things with your family, you know,
Speaker 7: and a lot of times you're gonna be off on
Speaker 7: the weekends, right and you know with a job, yeah,
Speaker 7: they're gonna be Tuesday and Thursday.
Speaker 4: So you know, you got to think about those things
Speaker 4: when you're applying and you know, and you're seeking employment.
Speaker 4: What do I want to do? Do I want to
Speaker 4: go for something fast? Or am I going to struggle
Speaker 4: a little bit? Get this training with this not to
Speaker 4: get this game, you know, and and and come out
Speaker 4: strong and and be successful and something that I can
Speaker 4: do for years and years to come. And then at
Speaker 4: the end of all that, if I want to own
Speaker 4: my own business, I want to be electrical contractor. If
Speaker 4: I want to be a carpentry contractor, I want to
Speaker 4: be a plumbing contractor. I'm certificate eyes. Right, that's my
Speaker 4: new words. I'm certificate eyes to to do that.
Speaker 1: How much it costs?
Speaker 4: Free ninety nine?
Speaker 1: Hold on, I said how much it costs? You said
Speaker 1: free ninety nine. So you would have to literally choose
Speaker 1: not to be great, not to take advantage of this opportunity, right,
Speaker 1: I'll ask the people.
Speaker 4: And that's and that's the reason why I don't. I
Speaker 4: don't chase people to come. You gotta want to be here.
Speaker 4: You know, this is a this is a trade where
Speaker 4: you have to kind of want to do if you
Speaker 4: have to understand that, what's what's on the other side,
Speaker 4: Because yeah, yeah, once you do that, And that's why
Speaker 4: you see the makeup of people out there. You see
Speaker 4: you see those guys out there drenching sweat. This guy's
Speaker 4: five foot two picking up all this big, old heavy stuff.
Speaker 4: But guess what he knows at the end of the day,
Speaker 4: I don't have to worry no two jobs. I don't
Speaker 4: know how to be fumbling around with this and that
Speaker 4: when I get off work at four o'clock because I
Speaker 4: started at four in the morning, so I got off
Speaker 4: workingfo I'm done for today, you know, and I don't
Speaker 4: have to worry about it when I go to another job. Now,
Speaker 4: this is this is one of the best things. Let
Speaker 4: me get off the phone at this because I'm actually
Speaker 4: I'm actually painting the bedroom right now.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, but I wanted to.
Speaker 4: Stop and talk to you. This is one of the
Speaker 4: one of the one of the best things I love
Speaker 4: about being a union member. So when you when you
Speaker 4: finishing the sign, you're getting laid off on a job, right,
Speaker 4: because you're always gett laid off at the end of
Speaker 4: the job. To getting laid off, you know, sometimes you don't.
Speaker 4: But the next time you go to a job or
Speaker 4: work site, you don't have to ever negotiate how much
Speaker 4: they're gonna pay you what you mean by that, because
Speaker 4: the union already did that.
Speaker 1: Oh, because that's the thing. You got somebody that literally
Speaker 1: got your bag.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're gonna show up. They're gonna they always already
Speaker 4: in the colective bargaining agreement, right, the carpenter makes this
Speaker 4: third period of carpenter makes this amount, right, and so
Speaker 4: you already know what you're getting said when you go
Speaker 4: to work.
Speaker 1: So what's the disparity with women? Are there a lot
Speaker 1: of women in there? Oh?
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah. So the women that are in the trade
Speaker 4: that make it are highly successful. I have one young
Speaker 4: lady that is she is she moves up the letter
Speaker 4: really quick. Wow. Within four years of her of her
Speaker 4: you know, joining the Carpenter's Union, she became a journeyman.
Speaker 4: Let it took me six years, by the way. So
Speaker 4: she finished her her hers in four years, her apprenticeship
Speaker 4: in four years. She applied for a safety position, right,
Speaker 4: and she now she did her homework. She she took
Speaker 4: a certification because she had her uh, her journeyman certificate.
Speaker 4: Once she received I'm sorry, I'm going in and out,
Speaker 4: back and forth. This is how I teach. She she
Speaker 4: got her her journeyman certificate and in carpentry, and she
Speaker 4: applied for a position called a HT Certified Health and
Speaker 4: Safety Trainer. And that's a safety position to make sure
Speaker 4: that everybody on the job site has glasses. Any any
Speaker 4: any thing that you do on the job site that's unsafe,
Speaker 4: you'll get right up by that safety person. And so
Speaker 4: the safety person just controls the safety on her job site,
Speaker 4: complan plans and every team. So Britney, Britney Bradley is
Speaker 4: her name. She's working. She was working at LAX as
Speaker 4: a safety person. Within two weeks of her passing the test,
Speaker 4: she was hired by a company called J T WIMSP
Speaker 4: and that's a union company. And I can't even tell
Speaker 4: you what she's doing now, two three years ago. I
Speaker 4: haven't talked to her in a while.
Speaker 3: But.
Speaker 4: You know, she is doing very well. Bridget Bridget. I
Speaker 4: was just butchering the name, but I think it's Bridget Bradley.
Speaker 4: Another lady working at LAX doing well. You know, I
Speaker 4: can keep on going. There's there's there's a ton of women.
Speaker 4: One of my instructors, Mary Whitmore, she was amazing. She no,
Speaker 4: I know, God could beat her nailing. I haven't met
Speaker 4: a guy, and you know when I was in the
Speaker 4: trade to beat her nailing. So women are are there,
Speaker 4: you know. Kimberly, it's another young lady, Kimberly. She's a
Speaker 4: labor awesome worked on the on the train what is
Speaker 4: the crunch all line?
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that was a huge project that lost.
Speaker 4: Right quick.
Speaker 1: Wow, So lady, this is.
Speaker 3: Not just fun that are willing to work.
Speaker 4: All you got to do is be willing to work.
Speaker 4: Will worry about lifting too much, you know, not being
Speaker 4: strong enough. You just have to be willing to try,
Speaker 4: and they'll find something that you can do. Ooh well, gosh,
