Forty margins. In fact, I was telling 87 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 4: my wife, Hey, big daddy's coming home. Make sure, make 88 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 4: sure you're ready.

Let's see, they were running 93 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 4: to me. My sho would be okay, Thank god. He 94 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 4: would end up playing soccer a couple of days later. 95 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 4: Me not so much. I would have of back procedures, 96 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 4: a batch back surgery, and in the end I was 97 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 4: diagnosed with having permitive nerve damage, which would cause chronic 98 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 4: pain for the rest of my life. 99 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about what happened at the accident. You know, 100 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: because this young lady who was five foot seven in 101 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 2: your book says she's white, and you were dealing with pain, 102 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 2: and when people showed up, no one paid attention to you. 103 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 2: They only paid attention to her. What was your thoughts 104 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: on that, because you explained about it, and you explained 105 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: it in your book. 106 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 4: Well, it was weird because I was more concerned about 107 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 4: the smoke and the pain that I was in and 108 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 4: just thinking, God, my son was fine. It was my 109 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 4: son that that saw that he's very insightful. And after 110 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 4: the fourth or fifth card went by and they kept 111 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 4: asking her if she was okay and said nothing to us. 112 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 4: My son said, so, why is that why she caused 113 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 4: the accident? You know, why aren't they asking if we're okay? 114 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 4: And that was on the side of the road. I 115 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,359 Speaker 4: had to have the top every black man has to 116 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 4: have with his son about racism. You know, we tried 117 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 4: to shield our kids from that, but I had to 118 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,360 Speaker 4: have a frank discussion about how society for the most 119 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 4: part protects white women and not so much us. And 120 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 4: it was a real how. 121 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 3: Did he take that conversation? 122 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 2: I know he was young, but how did he what 123 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 2: did he consume or what did he take away from that? 124 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 2: Because I know he was trying to be polite in 125 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 2: your conversation and because you was already trying to shield him, 126 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 2: but he asked a question that you didn't expect to 127 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 2: be in the situation to respond, but you had to respond. 128 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. I did, Yes, I did respond. And what I 129 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 4: and the way he responded was he said, okay, I mean, 130 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 4: I mean, my son's one of these kids. He's really thoughtful, 131 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 4: and he listened on and I think that was his 132 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 4: awakening of the racism that we have society. 133 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 3: Right. 134 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 4: In fact, there were times when he yelled. I mean, 135 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 4: he and I were very physical. We used to bike 136 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 4: to Stell Mountain and back. I would have him on 137 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 4: the back. I would have him on the back of 138 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 4: my bike. We were running together, and all that was gone. 139 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 4: He was really angry at the woman because of the 140 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 4: accident and for taking his father away. It was a 141 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 4: real trying time those first few years after the accident. 142 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 3: Well know, I had. 143 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: A long collapsed when I was in Los Angeles and 144 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 2: I stayed in the hospital for thirty days. You know, 145 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: just I can relate in some ways to your chronic pain. 146 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 2: I remember when I was in the hospital, they gave 147 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 2: me a morphine drip because the pain. You know, if 148 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: anybody's been in a hospital situation, you press the button 149 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 2: if you have pain. Of course, after a while, it 150 00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 2: will stop giving you the drug, otherwise you become addicted 151 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 2: to it. But you still pressing, You still pressing because 152 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: the pain didn't go away. And so that experience of frustration, 153 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 2: because I know at least three times I was checking 154 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 2: out of the hospital and I had to go back 155 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 2: in because my long recollapse. Here you are in your 156 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: life twenty fifteen, roughly eight years later, you're still dealing 157 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 2: with a pain that, due to my physical blessings, I 158 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 2: am not dealing with. But I know that pain, that pain. 159 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: When you have a machine over there, there's a drip, morphingdrim. 160 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 2: When they give you that machine, they know you are 161 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 2: in pain. And so you're telling me that you hurt 162 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 2: your back, correct, yes, sir, And so we all know 163 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 2: when you hurt your back, you realize how powerful or 164 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 2: how important your back is getting out of bed, walking 165 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 2: just lifting things. 166 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 4: How did that your little physical life. 167 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 3: Had turned upside down? Correct? 168 00:08:54,240 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and it's there were times, especially when they 169 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 4: took the pain medicine away, that I couldn't even make 170 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 4: it up the stairs in my home. I would collapse 171 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 4: because the left side of my body is weaker than 172 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 4: the right, and I just collapsed just in the way 173 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 4: to my body. I would be on the floor. My 174 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 4: kids would come looking at me, and I would have 175 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 4: to lie to them and say I wasn't in pain, 176 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,439 Speaker 4: and they were looking at me like I was nuts. 177 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 4: And it's like, why is it that no one and 178 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 4: no one would give me more minutes. And it was 179 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 4: weird because at the time I thought I was going 180 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 4: I thought I was going nuts. And you're right. You 181 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 4: can't play with your kids, you can't use the restroom, 182 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 4: you can't. Yeah, all the simple things I cut in 183 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 4: the grass. You know, I used to do all the 184 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,839 Speaker 4: driving when we went on trips. You know, I could 185 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 4: barely get in the car now. So this was a 186 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 4: real pair of This was a whole paradigm shift from 187 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 4: my entire family. 188 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 2: Let's talk about this because you know, the whole thing 189 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 2: about I'm working on a big. 190 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 3: Project is tied to sickle sale. 191 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,400 Speaker 2: And one of the things that people who have sickle 192 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,359 Speaker 2: cell when they go to the hospital in a crisis, 193 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 2: you know a lot of doctors or hospitals don't want 194 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 2: to give them medicine or drugs to reduce the pain 195 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 2: because they look them as drug seekers. That's a term 196 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 2: that you use in your book, that people perceive you 197 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 2: when you complain about your back, that they question your 198 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 2: pain and saw you as a black man, a drug seeker. 199 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: Correct, that's what you said in your book, Yes, exactly. 200 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 4: And it's weird because it wouldn't met and it's weird 201 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 4: because if I look at my background, I'm a job 202 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 4: creator here in Atlanta. I also have a lot of 203 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 4: gree in in NBA from a top tier school. And 204 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 4: none of that mattered. Nothing, No, And not only that, 205 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 4: not only that, I had I had images from an 206 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 4: MRI and an EG which stayed that, hey, this guy 207 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 4: has permanent nerve damage in this point. Yet they still 208 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 4: wouldn't give me the medication. They still thought I was 209 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 4: pain seeking and I thought it was crazy. And then 210 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 4: one day, you know, I decided to get my head 211 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 4: around it and see if this was happening to other people. 212 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,199 Speaker 2: Right, And I'm telling you it is, especially in sickle 213 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 2: cell patients. Yes, And that's said now Jackson, because in 214 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 2: your book, you know, you talk about the whole it's 215 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 2: a crisis you under you know, like I said, mine 216 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 2: was thirty days, and of course when I got out 217 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,319 Speaker 2: of the hospital, I had to have rehab and recovery, 218 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 2: and eventually I recovered from that. But I always remember 219 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 2: that that crisis, you know, the inability to control your 220 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 2: destiny because you're a very confident man, very successful man, 221 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you put in a physical crisis. 222 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 2: You can't even play with your kids. You can't even 223 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 2: get out of bed. Your wife probably has to assist 224 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 2: you are doing normal things. Some drops on the floor, 225 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 2: you can't reach down and pick it up. It starts 226 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 2: to question your term being a man in a relationship. 227 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 2: What is your role? How did you deal with that? 228 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 4: To be honest, that was tough. My father, my father, 229 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 4: like many men of this generation after Vietnam, got married, 230 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 4: had kids. 231 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 3: Right. 232 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 4: He always stressed to me and my brother that we 233 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 4: should go out, have our fun, get educated, and we 234 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 4: shouldn't be and we shouldn't get married to Abel until 235 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 4: we are able to buy our own home. Okay, And 236 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 4: that's what I did. I bought a four condo, fix 237 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 4: a rupper and then I'm like, okay, I'm ready to 238 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 4: get married. And so when I got married, it's hey, 239 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 4: I'm the man. I'm supposed to produce. That's how I 240 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 4: judge myself. And so, thanks free to God, I was 241 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 4: able to do all of that. And then all of 242 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 4: a sudden that have all that taken away. It was 243 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 4: wadded out.

People call it joning. 269 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 7: And when I realized that what we were doing was 270 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 7: processing our pain through laughter, that I decided when I 271 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 7: started writing comedy, I would just channel that and say, 272 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 7: how do I approach talking about sexual abuse?

And working in mental health, I know 297 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 4: the insurance game is about time value of money. The 298 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 4: longer they can hold we pay our insurance payments a 299 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 4: month with the expectation of something happened. The insurance company 300 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 4: will pay. 301 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: Up that false expectations, you know, because they have the 302 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 2: little rules. They'll pay this, but they may not pay that, 303 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: you know, But you don't tell you all the minor details. 304 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, And so what ended up happening was 305 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 4: after I got a little bit from the fire insurance company, 306 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 4: after the health insurance companies started denying claims, I realized, hey, 307 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 4: you know what I got. I got this legal mind. 308 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 4: Even though my body isn't where it should be, I 309 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 4: should be able to use that. So what I did 310 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 4: was what the insurance company. I found my lawyer, or 311 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 4: I found a lawyer who I thought could helped me 312 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 4: win a case against someone who lived in who lived 313 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 4: in Cobb County. Now, the thing about the person that 314 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 4: it me, she took ownership. She's what we would call 315 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 4: a good defendant. People wouldn't necessarily throw the book at her. 316 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 4: In fact, they probably feel sorry for her because of 317 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 4: because of what happened. And so I needed someone that 318 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 4: could win given that sort of environment. So I went 319 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 4: and did that. Then also I know how the insurance 320 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 4: company played I health insurance companies typically deny one or 321 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 4: two times. They are these fans called coordination of benefits 322 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 4: and with and it's what people and it's what the 323 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 4: insurance company sends you. And it basically shows what the 324 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,160 Speaker 4: insurance company pays and then what you pay. So most 325 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 4: people don't look at that until we get to build. 326 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 4: When I got it and saw that the insurance company 327 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 4: denied the claim, I called them, Hey, what's going on 328 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,239 Speaker 4: with this? You approved it? They sent it back a 329 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 4: month later, and then they approved it, but they approved 330 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 4: it out of network. People wouldn't insurance know if you've 331 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,159 Speaker 4: seen the provider out of network, you pay more money. 332 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 4: And it took three different times and then finally with 333 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 4: the end of. 334 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 3: The day, you in pain, right, you in pain. 335 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 4: All this pain, and I'm like yelling at People's the 336 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 4: funny story, you know.

So they wanted to do 339 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 4: a swear dar. I'm like fine, So one day I'm 340 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 4: yelling at the assurance cut me.

It 345 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 4: was in that worked, everything was good, and that took 346 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 4: about four months. Normally that process can go on at 347 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 4: least a year, because it may take you four or 348 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 4: five months to really look at your EOB and then 349 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 4: trying to figure out what's going on.

Then you have to wind up fighting 357 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,200 Speaker 2: with the fair car insurance that you pay, making these 358 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 2: monthly payments to have insurance. 359 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 4: Yes, I did.

Your car insurance 362 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 4: company is now known for snake like behavior. So what 363 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 4: you're going to have to do is trust me. And 364 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 4: but the thing about it, Jackson, is that you are 365 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 4: a great playman. What do you mean.

Something I've 378 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 4: learned closing deals, uh, closing deals as a businessman here 379 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 4: in Atlanta. 380 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 2: You know what amazes to me the most about this conversation, 381 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 2: Jackson Dunbar, is that we you know, success supposed to 382 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 2: make your life easier, and we know what you're talking 383 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 2: when they're when they're insinuating about people who aren't married, 384 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 2: or people who have lesser education, how they get treated. 385 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 2: That's all he's saying, is that, And that's where race 386 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 2: comes into play. How people can stereotype you. And I've 387 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 2: been stereotyped all my life because I'm black. I've been 388 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,719 Speaker 2: in stereotyped because of the color of my skin.

You know, but 394 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 2: as a person who battles and stealing chronic pain because 395 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 2: you got up to almost three hundred and fifty pounds 396 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 2: in weight, when I read in the book and you 397 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 2: lost ninety pounds of the process because a young man 398 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 2: I shouldn't say he was in the seventies, told you 399 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,400 Speaker 2: you're going to die if you don't lose this weight. 400 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 3: And it all happened because of an accident. 401 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 4: Yes, indeed, and that doctor really changed my life.

And I remember when you you realized that 423 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 2: drugs have value. But I say drugs have value when 424 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,400 Speaker 2: you went cruising and you left your drugs into in 425 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 2: your cabin and they were stolen. 426 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 4: Yes, so you got educated. 427 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 3: On that end too. 428 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 2: You got educated by these women swimming around you. At 429 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 2: three hundred and fifty pounds, a seventy year old God 430 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 2: tells you if you don't lose weight, you're gonna die. 431 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 3: You go cruising and they steer your your medicine. 432 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, and and and that and we and that 433 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 4: was bad because my medge got stolen day one on 434 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 4: a seven day cruise. And the doctor on that ship 435 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,359 Speaker 4: wasn't like anything on the love boat. And he didn't 436 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 4: he didn't believe me that I needed the meds. He 437 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 4: gave me a new profen. I'm my God, that's not 438 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 4: going to do anything. He wouldn't write of spirit. 439 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 2: He gave you, I have a profen and replace of 440 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 2: the medicines that you actually needed. 441 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 4: Yes, and you knows. And here's the thing. My wife 442 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 4: is a medical doctor, right, and tried to talk to 443 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 4: the person doctor, the doctor and still instill basically threw 444 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 4: us out of his office. I couldn't believe it. 445 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 3: And this is on the cruise ship. 446 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 4: Yes, wow, yeah, yeah. You know it's hard to have 447 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,800 Speaker 4: a bad time on a cruise and I found out 448 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 4: how to do it. Well, you know, you taught me 449 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 4: a good lesson. No matter where I go, I lock 450 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 4: up my meds, they always stay with me. 451 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: Well, this is true. A lot of people don't understand 452 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 2: other people. What you might consider regular might have street value. 453 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 2: And that's what you discovered that your drugs had street vague. 454 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 2: And so that's the guy that the porter in your 455 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 2: room said he actually need threw it away, but he 456 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 2: probably stole it because he can actually go out there 457 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 2: and make money with it. But you know, as we 458 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 2: close this, you know, this book was rather fascinating to me, 459 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 2: and you know, I know you do. 460 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 3: I know you're a successful entrepreneur and especially. 461 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: In the well made foundation and the well made Atlanta 462 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 2: private your own psychiatric medical firm. As we close this out, 463 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 2: because we've just been talking about physical we's been talking 464 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,120 Speaker 2: about the physicality of what you couldn't do. How did 465 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 2: that impact you mentally? 466 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 5: Uh? 467 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 4: I think now that was Now it did, And a 468 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 4: lot of that is because I think we as black 469 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 4: men were raised that real black men don't need therapy. 470 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,760 Speaker 4: In fact, that's my favorite chapter in the book. And 471 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 4: they're fifteen million chronic pain patients out there. And what 472 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 4: I say is that if you don't have if you 473 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,440 Speaker 4: don't have a good mental health team, a good psychologist 474 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,639 Speaker 4: and a psychiatrist that specialize in pain management working on 475 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 4: you in your life, you won't be able to reclaim 476 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 4: your life. And that's hard for us. And I own 477 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 4: a psychiat I own a psychiatric consulting firm. I am 478 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 4: psychiatrists all around me. All of them were saying, hey, listen, 479 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 4: you need to see someone and I will and believe 480 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:07,120 Speaker 4: it right. And it wasn't until what what I took 481 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 4: my daughter. I took my daughter to the hair store 482 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 4: and the person there was really rude. I started yelling 483 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 4: at them, and then my daughter ran away. She was 484 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 4: afraid of me. 485 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 3: Wow. 486 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 4: And that was that was maybe what four years into 487 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 4: this odyssey. And at that point I got a good 488 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,919 Speaker 4: mental healtee, and what the psychiatrist was able to do 489 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 4: was fascinating. She basically what happens is that you may 490 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 4: have a pain management doctor, you may have an attorneys, 491 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 4: you may have a urologist and a few other folks, 492 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,440 Speaker 4: and all of them are giving you different medications. So 493 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 4: by the end you could be taking packing to twenty 494 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 4: pills a day, two three times a day. So what 495 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 4: the psychiatrist was able to do was actually going through 496 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,959 Speaker 4: all the medications and say, Okay, that was making you crazy, 497 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 4: that was making you gain weight, Here's what I'm going 498 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,719 Speaker 4: to do.

And you know when I 671 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 2: say that, I mean you know, the uh, the black 672 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,319 Speaker 2: little the little bumps you try to get off your face, 673 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,879 Speaker 2: try to keep your kin, skin smooth. And so I've 674 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:15,759 Speaker 2: been this way ever since I was a toddler. When 675 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,440 Speaker 2: I say todd, I say about eight years old. I 676 00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 2: was always worried about my skin. I was always worried 677 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 2: about how can I take care of because I didn't 678 00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 2: want acne, I didn't want bumps in my face for 679 00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 2: somebod In my mind, it dawned on me that there 680 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,520 Speaker 2: was a process, and early on, when I didn't have 681 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,360 Speaker 2: any money, the original process was wash your face and 682 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:39,080 Speaker 2: warm water and then rented in cold water. The warm 683 00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,520 Speaker 2: water opens your pores and the cold water will close 684 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 2: the poors. 685 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:44,239 Speaker 4: Was Is that correct? 686 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 10: No? 687 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 3: Oh my god, I've been doing it. 688 00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,839 Speaker 10: You have, you have it essentially, it's the concept that's 689 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 10: a little bit off. You want you want to cleanse 690 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,439 Speaker 10: your skin, and you want to there's a couple of things. 691 00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 10: Your skin, a skincare, a good solid skincare routine, right, 692 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 10: So you want to cleanse your skin twice a day. 693 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 10: Warm water is correct. Warm that's fine. But if you 694 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 10: choose to rinse it at the very end, once your 695 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,520 Speaker 10: skin is clean, you want to do a cold rent 696 00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 10: that's not necessary. But that's perfectly fine. I mean, you 697 00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 10: were a kid, so it's you know, sort of I'm sorry. 698 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 2: I'm just let you know, doing it as adult today, 699 00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:26,760 Speaker 2: I'm still that's my fairy. 700 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 3: Then. 701 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,360 Speaker 10: That's that's why I want to I just want to 702 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 10: clarify because I have clients who make the mistake of 703 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 10: washing their face with cold water, and that's not you. Yeah, 704 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:37,239 Speaker 10: you want to make sure it's clean. But if you 705 00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 10: want to do that last rint like sometimes hair dressers 706 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 10: do with it the hair, that's perfectly fine. But but 707 00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:46,160 Speaker 10: I also you said course open and close, right, it's 708 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 10: course not. It's not a muscle. So they and a lot 709 00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:50,719 Speaker 10: of people think they open and close. They do not. 710 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 10: So hot water does not open it and cold water 711 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,120 Speaker 10: does not close them. 712 00:37:55,760 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 2: I'm quiet because all my life, Tracy, I've been doing 713 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 2: this fifty years. 714 00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 3: I've been watching my face like this over fifty years. 715 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 10: Well, you know, your your skin. You're in a good place. 716 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,480 Speaker 10: It's not bad. But understanding the concept you're not. You're 717 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 10: really not far off. The market's just understanding that hot 718 00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 10: water or warm water is not opening. It's not the 719 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,200 Speaker 10: opening and closing up the poors. 720 00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 3: Let me just stop. 721 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 2: This is a good conversation. First of all, because somewhere 722 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 2: I've read this, now have I not read this? Isn't 723 00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,920 Speaker 2: it written somewhere that you that warm water opens your 724 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,920 Speaker 2: pores and close cold water closes? 725 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,680 Speaker 10: It's not any you you know, it's similar to me 726 00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:38,839 Speaker 10: if you find it, if you find someone who's still 727 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 10: writing that, so what happened? 728 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 3: But it was written like that at one time, right, not. 729 00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 10: It could have been. It could have been because I 730 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,000 Speaker 10: know that a lot of people. I think the skin 731 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,879 Speaker 10: care has evolved, and skin the education around it has 732 00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,359 Speaker 10: evolved so much. People care more about their skin. They 733 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,279 Speaker 10: want glowing skin, they want healthy skin. They don't want 734 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,480 Speaker 10: to have the women don't want to have to makeup. 735 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,920 Speaker 10: Women and men don't want to have to wear makeup 736 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,680 Speaker 10: and all that. So there's been an evolution, and so 737 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 10: there's been a lot of correction and a lot of 738 00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 10: debunking of myths. So that is, pores are not muscles. 739 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 10: They don't open and close. There's no you can refine them. 740 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 10: You can make the smaller facials make them look smaller. 741 00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 10: Chemical pills refine them and make them smaller, using retinall 742 00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,920 Speaker 10: makes them look smaller. These kinds of things, you know, 743 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 10: but they don't. It doesn't open. And if you think 744 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 10: about it, you know the pores in your skin that 745 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,000 Speaker 10: for your sabacious glands, they don't open and close. 746 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,719 Speaker 2: They just I'm just going to tell you you have 747 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:38,319 Speaker 2: knocked me off the horse. Now that's a good thing, 748 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,800 Speaker 2: because sometimes you got to get information. You're telling me 749 00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,719 Speaker 2: the truth. I bring people on the show for information 750 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 2: and education. I brought you in the show because I'm thinking, 751 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 2: I'm mister smarty pants. I've been doing it right all 752 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 2: my life, so so you know, I got I got 753 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,200 Speaker 2: you know, soap, you know, the little soap with little 754 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 2: you know, put it on my face. So what should 755 00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,880 Speaker 2: one do? What should Rushan McDonald do now that he 756 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,839 Speaker 2: knows that warm water doesn't open pores and close cold 757 00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,360 Speaker 2: water after you wash your face and cold water doesn't 758 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 2: close your pors. What should I be doing before I 759 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,200 Speaker 2: wake up in the morning, and what should I be 760 00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,480 Speaker 2: doing when I go to sleep at night? 761 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:15,360 Speaker 10: Fantastic. You want to start off cleansing your skin, and 762 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:17,839 Speaker 10: you want a quality cleanser. I'm going to kind of 763 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,600 Speaker 10: go off off topic here a little bit and talk 764 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,960 Speaker 10: about how important it is to use well formulated products, 765 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 10: because I heard you say a little soap in it, 766 00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,720 Speaker 10: and that's what makes the difference in terms of making 767 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,239 Speaker 10: your pores look more refined. There's a difference between over 768 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 10: the counter skincare, the things you buy at the grocery 769 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 10: store that that your local drug store, and things that 770 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 10: are well formulated, things that are a medical grade and 771 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 10: medical grade does not necessarily mean it's going to cost 772 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 10: you more. Okay, So in terms of that that cost perception, 773 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:51,040 Speaker 10: a lot of people have tons of products under their stink, 774 00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,680 Speaker 10: whereas if you have a well formulated cleanser that's been showed, 775 00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 10: that's been tailored for you. So you saw, it's a 776 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:01,720 Speaker 10: matter of DA regulation in making sure that the active 777 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 10: ingredients that are supposed to be and the products are 778 00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,399 Speaker 10: in it. Over the counter, FAA does not, WRE does 779 00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,719 Speaker 10: not regulate products. They don't regular, there's no clinical studies, 780 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,360 Speaker 10: they're not regulated, and they're pretty they're not tailored. You 781 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 10: go into the store, you buy, nobody's there to help you, 782 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,120 Speaker 10: and you buy whatever you buy, and a hundred people 783 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 10: can buy the same thing. Right. So you just at 784 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,040 Speaker 10: the top you said you had oily skin, but that's dry, 785 00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:29,160 Speaker 10: So would they used to send cleanser No, Right, so 786 00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 10: I knew that for a fact. Now, yeah, so you 787 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:33,960 Speaker 10: need if you have oily skin, you need different cleanser 788 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,000 Speaker 10: dry skin. If you have skin, you have sensitive skin, 789 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 10: if you have aging skin. So you want things to 790 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,799 Speaker 10: be tailored somewhat. And at the end of the day, 791 00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:45,120 Speaker 10: in terms of money, it becomes cost effective because you're 792 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 10: not buying a bunch of things that aren't working. That's 793 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,440 Speaker 10: just laying in your bathroom sink. You know, people have 794 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:52,720 Speaker 10: tons of products that they don't I see these clients 795 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 10: all the time, this is just working for you, and 796 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,120 Speaker 10: they say to me no, and they go out and 797 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,200 Speaker 10: buy something else, and something else and something else. So 798 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 10: really kind of getting on board with a really good 799 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 10: aspetian who can guide you along.

And I just want to make 931 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:15,959 Speaker 12: sure I know everything that's natural. Sometimes it's not good 932 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,040 Speaker 12: for you internally. 933 00:48:17,239 --> 00:48:18,040 Speaker 4: Or externally. 934 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,960 Speaker 12: That's why I want to check, like, what's the like 935 00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,320 Speaker 12: I said, Okay, I know sea wants is located to Ingest, 936 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:26,680 Speaker 12: but how about also putting on your skin. 937 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 13: Now, my guess would be that you have pretty good 938 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:34,400 Speaker 13: skin because and that is sea moss to put on 939 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 13: your skin. If it's working for you, it's perfectly fine. 940 00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,279 Speaker 13: One of the things that I don't do unless I. 941 00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:44,360 Speaker 10: Deem something is harmful. That that adage if it's not broken, 942 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,719 Speaker 10: you know. So if you're loving your skin used sea moths, 943 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 10: if there's nothing and it's going to be damaging or 944 00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,400 Speaker 10: harmful to your skin long term, enjoy it. But in 945 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 10: terms of seeing tangible changes in your skin, that's where 946 00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,920 Speaker 10: it's gonna come off short. That's where it's typically natural 947 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,120 Speaker 10: products fall short. And that's why Lena products that have 948 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:07,239 Speaker 10: more active ingredients. So when you want to uh, you know, 949 00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,640 Speaker 10: brighten the skin. If you're dealing with hyperpigmentation and dark monks, 950 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,320 Speaker 10: if you're dealing with acne, you're gonna be very limited 951 00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 10: with natural, really natural products. 952 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 2: Don I'm gonna let you go because I know you're 953 00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 2: driving your car.

What is the purpose of a facial? 965 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,879 Speaker 10: So the purpose of a facial is many. I guess 966 00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,120 Speaker 10: that there's different levels to the type. You go on vacation. 967 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 10: It's probably just relaxing blood. The massage is very anti 968 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:11,000 Speaker 10: aging because simulating the blood slow and their skin moving 969 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,279 Speaker 10: the tissue around. You know, people think it's just a 970 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,520 Speaker 10: feel good thing, but it's actually very beneficial. So it's 971 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:18,600 Speaker 10: deep pins in their skin. You know, it's anti aging, 972 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,319 Speaker 10: it feels good, it's relaxing, it's distressing, all those things. 973 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,640 Speaker 10: But then there's the type of faces that I do, 974 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:28,680 Speaker 10: which are more results oriented. So my facials are not there. 975 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:30,360 Speaker 10: You know. I try to strike a balance so my 976 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,120 Speaker 10: clients are relaxed, but I'm more about the results. And 977 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,360 Speaker 10: actually making tangible changes to the skin. 978 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,560 Speaker 3: Well here's the thing.

I'm going to go back to products, 997 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,799 Speaker 10: because the products are something that you use every day. 998 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:38,320 Speaker 10: So elevating your products to something that that has higher 999 00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 10: active ingredients, because imagine if you come in and you 1000 00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,359 Speaker 10: get a facial once a month, right and you have that. 1001 00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,480 Speaker 2: That's what Sean and that's what Sean coming in trying 1002 00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:47,879 Speaker 2: to get trying to get all those years removed off 1003 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:49,400 Speaker 2: my face with a facial. 1004 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,520 Speaker 10: So your skin looks good for what a week? Two weeks? 1005 00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,400 Speaker 2: Just like she said, you know, I feel my skin 1006 00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:00,279 Speaker 2: is like tight is it feels fresh, and and I 1007 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:01,320 Speaker 2: just walk away. 1008 00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,640 Speaker 10: For how long? For how long? For how long after 1009 00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:04,160 Speaker 10: your treatment? 1010 00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:05,640 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying by it, but I won't 1011 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,440 Speaker 2: tell you because about the hour, about the hour, it 1012 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 2: feels like it's back to normal, because you're right. 1013 00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:13,239 Speaker 10: So then that speaks to a couple of things. So 1014 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,800 Speaker 10: the type of facial you're having, most of my clients 1015 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,439 Speaker 10: maintain their results without even using my products for a week. 1016 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,120 Speaker 10: So you're talking about that's a different kind of facial, right, 1017 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 10: and that's pretty standard people. You know, the next day 1018 00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,319 Speaker 10: you've been offacial and you don't look like you are. 1019 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 3: Let's let's talk about this. 1020 00:52:30,680 --> 00:52:32,560 Speaker 2: Let's talk about this traits because I'm really enjoyed this 1021 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 2: conversation because you know, you've seen people with the cucumbers 1022 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,479 Speaker 2: over their eyes. You've seen people with the I guess 1023 00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,799 Speaker 2: the mask, like the green mask. I've had that so 1024 00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:46,880 Speaker 2: that does last longer. That does last longer. And but 1025 00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,680 Speaker 2: I'm a person that goes out in the streets. 1026 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:50,840 Speaker 3: I go out in the sun. 1027 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:54,400 Speaker 2: I you know, I'm very active and so you know 1028 00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:57,440 Speaker 2: I'll sweat and so so I'm not a person that 1029 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 2: stays in air condition that long. So you give me 1030 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 2: a facial, I'm immediately go out into the elements and 1031 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,480 Speaker 2: just start living my life like I normally do. But 1032 00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 2: I will not denounce the value of a facial. I 1033 00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:11,080 Speaker 2: will never say that the value of facial makes me 1034 00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,279 Speaker 2: enjoy my life. And also I feel has lengthened the 1035 00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:18,000 Speaker 2: quality of my looks physically because I've done that. But 1036 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,960 Speaker 2: it is tied to the type of facial that you get. 1037 00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:21,360 Speaker 3: Correct. 1038 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's different types and there's different levels, 1039 00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:30,040 Speaker 10: so you know, yeah, and yeah, it's you going out 1040 00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,160 Speaker 10: into the elements after offacial. You just want to make 1041 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:35,160 Speaker 10: sure you protect your skin and you're wearing sunscreen. 1042 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,600 Speaker 2: Right, because it's really sensitive. Once you finish of facial, 1043 00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,360 Speaker 2: your skin is really exposed. 1044 00:53:40,360 --> 00:53:40,760 Speaker 3: Correct. 1045 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:41,879 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1046 00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:45,319 Speaker 2: Wow, Well, as we wrap this call up, how can 1047 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,600 Speaker 2: we get in touch with you, Tracy.
