1
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: Heyyy, and we're back. Oh lucky number thirteen.

2
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, oh creepy. It was just Friday the thirteenth.

3
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 3: Yeah.

4
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: Well now it's episode thirteen Brown Ambition, the Spooky Edition.

5
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: So we're gonna start with a little bit of sad news.

6
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 2: You've probably all heard about by now.

7
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: So there was a series of explosions in Paris. What

8
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: about like two days ago we did. It was Friday night,

9
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: Friday night, and I think I don't know exactly how

10
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:52,840
Speaker 1: many people passed last time I saw it was over

11
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: sixty people.

12
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: One hundred and twenty nine.

13
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 3: Wow.

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was I think six or seven coordinated attacks,

15
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 4: okay at places that At the theater was one of

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 4: the worst.

17
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: In terms of death. I think sixty people alone died

18
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: in that theater.

19
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 5: Wow.

20
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 4: Then there was attack at the stadium where they were

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 4: playing soccer.

22
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: I saw that France versus Germany and then play.

23
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 4: What really made it freaky, I think for a lot

24
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 4: of people and me too. I mean I went to

25
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 4: a theater Friday night for a showy and just like

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: you're all crammed in there, and they attacked also at

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 4: some public places, at like a shopping outdoor shopping mall,

28
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 4: and then I was reading on a restaurant where people

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 4: were sitting on a terrace and then a bar, people

30
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 4: were just I mean, it was Friday night, so.

31
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: So everybody's just kind of out and so just so

32
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: many just unnecessary, so many lives lost. And so if

33
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: you are on Facebook and now you probably have seen

34
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: that people have changed their Facebook profile picture it's a

35
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: blue to the French flag, which is blue, white, red.

36
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 4: There's been a ton of like just an outpouring of

37
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 4: you know, I was only fourteen when nine to eleven happened.

38
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: I wasn't living in New York then, but I imagine

39
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 4: it was similar. This is the biggest disaster, the biggest

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 4: attack on Paris since World War Two.

41
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 2: I read.

42
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: Okay, so there's been a.

43
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: Huge, like worldwide reaction, especially in the United States. They're

44
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 4: a big ally.

45
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: But like Tiffany and I were talking about earlier, that.

46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that, I mean, so a lot of people have

47
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: I it's so funny how depending on who your friends are,

48
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: that's your view of the world via Facebook anyway, And

49
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: so I I saw a lot of not pushback with

50
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: the display of sympathy, but just sort of frustration that

51
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: so this is something's incredibly sad and incredibly unnecessary that

52
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: happened in Paris, but that other things had happened in

53
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 1: other parts of the world. For example, in Kenya, I

54
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 1: think it was April, there was an attack on the

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: university in Kenya in one hundred, I think in forty

56
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: seven people were killed, students, students, And you might be like,

57
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: there was and that's exactly the problem that it was.

58
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: It was reported, but it really was not. It was

59
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: kind of kind of like a blip on the world's

60
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 1: screen and.

61
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: It was it wasn't an ISIS attack and it.

62
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: Was yeah, and another Islamic extremists.

63
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, and two days ago or sorry, two days before

64
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 4: maybe it was a day before or two days before

65
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 4: in Beirut, Yes, thirty seven people were killed and I

66
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 4: think that was an ISIS attack. And then France, you know,

67
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 4: Paris happened and the world stopped, caught their breath, you know,

68
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: still catching their breath.

69
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: And so of course we're not saying that you should

70
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: not be should not feel sad or mad or upset

71
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: of what happened in Paris, because it's a terrible thing. Regardless,

72
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: No life is worth more than another life. That's not

73
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: what we're saying. But I guess it's just frustrating because

74
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: it's like when things happen in countries where brown people dwell,

75
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: unfortunately that doesn't always capture the world's sympathy like other countries.

76
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: And it's just illustrated. You know, this year, like I said,

77
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: with Paris and Kenya.

78
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: And I think what I mean, obviously, there's the fact

79
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 4: that I mean, France is a huge ally of the

80
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 4: United States, and typically in countries that have something to offer, yeah,

81
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: the year that's you know, but that too, I mean

82
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: it's a developed nation.

83
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: It's Paris.

84
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's such a romantic idea of what Paris is

85
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: to the world.

86
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: The same with New York.

87
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, this is true.

88
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: And I think that when when it's a place that

89
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 4: you have, you know, a place that holds a very

90
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 4: special and iconic spot in your mind, to see that

91
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 4: get attacked and to see you get attacked so violently

92
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: and out of the blue, and for there to bend

93
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 4: no warning and apparently no one knew it was happening,

94
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: you know, I mean the president of France was at

95
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:26,239
Speaker 4: was dating.

96
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: Isn't that insane?

97
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 4: And like there was no warning it I think this,

98
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 4: and it's another reason, like these are people that you

99
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 4: identify with, yeah in America, you know, developed nation. These

100
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 4: are people like going to theaters and you know, you know,

101
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 4: going after work to for happy hour and things like that,

102
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 4: and for that to happen, it just it gives you chills.

103
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: So we're just mentioning that just so you can just

104
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: something to kind of put a buzz in your ear

105
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 1: think about and just knowing that, you know, sympathy should

106
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: shouldn't just be relegated to specific places in the world

107
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: or I mean just I don't know thinking. That's why

108
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: we do brand a bish and honestly for you to

109
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: think about other people outside of just yourself, because even me,

110
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: I didn't. I had not heard about Kenya until I

111
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: was just doing research for the show and I was

112
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: like what. And I'm African, you.

113
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: Know, and I've known if my friend who's from Kenya

114
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: hadn't told me.

115
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 4: Mm hm. So so our thoughts are with you Paris

116
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 4: and also Kenya, yes, everywhere else in the world that's

117
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 4: been impacted by this and unnecessary, like you said, violence.

118
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: So now that we've been some wie downers.

119
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: I had to do it.

120
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: Maybe in some oh no, she did it news.

121
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 6: Let's talk about Toronto, Toronto. Okay, So apparently.

Speaker 1: So Drake, come get your come get your folks. Right,

Speaker 2: Right, they should do better. Set up the story.

160
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: in Toronto, and her principal tells her to give her

161
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: like a scrunchy. It says, like put your hair together,

162
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: that it's too poofy, unprofessional, that no one would hire

163
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: her with hair like that, and that if she was

164
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: working in a store and no one would buy anything

165
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: from her. And so I just thought that that was crazy,

166
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: and I just knew this had to have come from,

167
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, a non brown race let me see this principal.

168
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: She and so the princider her name is Tracy Barnes. Yes,

169
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: we're putting you on. She white? No, she's black.

170
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: You're shooting me. No, I'm sorry. Sorry.

171
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 4: In my mind it was like a little like you know,

172
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: finger wagging like no.

173
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: And so the young woman, Casey, I think her aunt

174
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: posted online and this is what her aunt said. She

175
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: basically says, Tracy Barnes, why are you projecting your own

176
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: self hate on some niece? And so I just thought

177
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: that was crazy, Like, honestly, think about Tracy Ellis Ross.

178
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: You're not looking at her hair thinking to yourself, Oh,

179
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: this girl needs to put it away, Like what is

180
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: all this beautiful hair about? I mean, maybe you are,

181
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: and if you are, shame on you.

182
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: The fact that it's a black woman.

183
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and she's right, you know, this is this I

184
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 4: call this the Raven Simone syndrome. Like kind of in

185
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 4: a way, I'm sorry to say her name again, but like, yeah,

186
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 4: you you have your own security about you, maybe your

187
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 4: hair and maybe maybe this woman she probably grew up

188
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 4: at a time when it wasn't okay afro to school,

189
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Like she's she's missed the

190
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 4: whole like natural like proud of your natural roots kind

191
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 4: of like movement that's been happening the last you know,

192
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 4: five ten years. This is really shocking and it's sad.

193
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: It's it's it's a it's a reminder that people still

194
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 4: feel this way. Yeah, older people especially.

195
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: Yes, And I'm assuming she's like older because you know,

196
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: I went when I first went to Naturville, my parents

197
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: were like, what did my dad say? He said one,

198
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: he said, so you never want to get married.

199
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 4: I was like, so yeah, and the old people, old

200
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 4: people are the root of all evil, I swear to God.

201
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,560
Speaker 2: And then black, white, brown whatever.

202
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: He said that my hair was revolutionary because you know

203
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: what though, my daddy when he came to America, he

204
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: came during the sixties when that was it wasn't act

205
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: of revolution you like black power? Yes, so that was

206
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: his worry was like are you miss black power? Are

207
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: you you know, like antih? He said it was also

208
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: anti establishment, and I just thought like, oh my god,

209
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: my dad is the man. Meanwhile, he's from Nigeria. How

210
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: are you the man?

211
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 4: But in some ways, yeah, it is like it is

212
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 4: it is rebuking traditional beauty, standards. It is saying that

213
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 4: I refuse to be put in a box. It is

214
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 4: saying that I revolted togets anyone who says I can't

215
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 4: be in my natural self.

216
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: But for a young girl to be.

217
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 4: Told this, you know, I a growing up with like

218
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 4: I mean, you see my like literally my hair today

219
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 4: is as wild as as it's been all week, and

220
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 4: like I would never have worn my hair like this,

221
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 4: and that was pretty off school. It looks well anyway,

222
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 4: kind of a mess. But when I was in middle school,

223
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 4: I had this huge, kinky, curly like half relaxed, half

224
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,959
Speaker 4: straight hair because my mom and I could never figure

225
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 4: it out, and I would trying to get it to

226
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 4: be straight. I would be crying with the curling iron

227
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 4: and trying to do my like my mom would curl

228
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 4: her hair like her pretty blonde hair, and I'd be

229
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 4: trying to curl it just like her hers, and like

230
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 4: trying to look at you know, my role models on TV,

231
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 4: like Lizzie McGuire and trying to get my hair.

232
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm my god, you're still yeng.

233
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 4: I know McGuire, I know, and like, you know, there

234
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: are a couple of like there was no Zendaia when

235
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 4: I was here, Yeah, you know there and Amandala sten

236
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 4: Stenberg that maybe I'm saying her name wrong. Amandola Stenberg

237
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 4: the Hunger Games, the one who played Rue. And I

238
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 4: feel like they're really like they're the role model that

239
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 4: this young girl should be looking toward today because they

240
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: are themselves and they are they are spreading the message

241
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 4: that some of us older, you know, brown girls have

242
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 4: already gotten one.

243
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that your hair is beautiful.

244
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,680

Speaker 4: I hope this principal, I'm sure this principal, Tracy Barnes, Yes.

248
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 2: Cry on you.

249
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't let black Twitter get a hold of it.

250
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: Racey will be dragged from Toronto to.

251
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 4: You can't you cannot get away with this kind of

252
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 4: racism or in this case, what do you call that

253
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 4: that's still racism?

254
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: Is it self hate?

255
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, hate.

256
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 4: And now I feel like everything is so public, So yeah,

257
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 4: good for you, Casey.

268
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: I just love that song. I might need a brown

269
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: break from hotline Blanks.

270
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: Spoof, No, I need you. I saw one today. It

271
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: was the best one. It was Anthony Hamilton. So you

272
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: know Anthony Hammerton's.

273
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: Blackish No, No, Anthony Anderson.

274
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: Yes, look at her getting her browns mixed up.

275
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 2: That's not fair. It's the same first name.

276
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: That's such it. So he Ay Hamilton has a song

277
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: like Charlie and he kind of has a very soulful,

278
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: like old school sound to him. If you heard a song,

279
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: you would know. So he and his crew did one

280
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: and it's like a gospel version. It is amazing.

281
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 4: I think I had that saved on my Facebook, Lenks,

282
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 4: I need to watch it later.

283
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: It is amazing. Honestly, I just I had church right

284
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: before I got on the train to come here today.

285
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 2: I was like, yes, maybe I got room for one more.

286
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: So you have a brown break?

287
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, my brown break this week I want to talk

288
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 4: about stress, and I need a break from stress. And

289
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: this is it's hard to take a break from it

290
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 4: because it's kind of self imposed. And I feel like

291
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 4: anyone can relate to this. There's there's so many different

292
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 4: pressures you put on yourself to perform to the highest

293
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 4: of your abilities at work and your personal life, like

294
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 4: as a daughter or sister, if your mom, as a

295
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 4: mom too. And this week, I just I'm pretty good

296
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 4: about managing stress. Well maybe not so much. I'm good

297
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 4: at thinking I'm managing it for a long time until

298
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 4: like enough little things happened to where I just like

299
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 4: have a complete breakdown. And it's usually around the time

300
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 4: when I'm working on a big story, like so this

301
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 4: week I did a big story, another big story on

302
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 4: rush card. We talked with that before Russell Simmons debit card.

303
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 4: His customers lost hundreds of thousands people lost access to

304
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 4: their money in October, and weeks later they still didn't

305
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 4: have a lot of people didn't have access. And now yeah,

306
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 4: even now, so I did a big story and I

307
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 4: guess I just put so much pressure on myself to

308
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 4: do a good job, and like other stuff's happening at work,

309
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 4: and like the holidays are coming up, and I feel

310
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 4: guilty about, you know, not going home for the holidays

311
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 4: to sue my family. And on Tuesday, I or on

312
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 4: Monday rather, I came to work and I literally just

313
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 4: sat in my computer and tried to write all day.

314
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: And I had this huge white writer's block.

315
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 4: And I accomplished nothing but sitting there and like like

316
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 4: mentally berating myself. I kept switching places on my office

317
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 4: and like trying to sit somewhere else and trying to

318
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: like get the writer's block moved. And I had done

319
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,560
Speaker 4: all the writing, and I had all these people, all

320
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 4: these people emailing me from rush card customers, like can

321
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 4: you please help me? Like I'm hungry, my kids aren't fed,

322
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 4: like my bills are late. And I had this I

323
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 4: felt this huge responsibility to like go to bat for

324
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 4: them and to like tell their story right. And I

325
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 4: went home Monday night and I felt terrible. I woke

326
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 4: mill the night stress dreams up in a crazy hot

327
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 4: like sweat, like just couldn't sleep. I was walking around

328
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 4: my apartment, got no sleep. Tuesday, same thing, terrible writer's block.

329
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 4: I ended up staying around midnight. I finally started to

330
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 4: write Tuesday night, I ended up staying up all night.

331
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 4: But in the process of staying up all night, I

332
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 4: broke out in these stress hides. Wow, and I haven't

333
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 4: got stress hide since I was in college, like around

334
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: finals time, like with these like red welts and my

335
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 4: face gets really hot and I'm just like, this.

336
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: Is not a good way of anything stress. And I

337
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 2: don't know.

338
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 4: I don't know how to deal with it. I don't

339
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 4: have like an answer for managing stress. I feel like

340
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 4: in my case, I let my head get in the

341
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 4: way of everything and I just like put all this

342
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 4: pressure on myself and I don't know, I feel like

343
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 4: the best thing I I don't know.

344
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: I don't have many.

345
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: Good honestly, but still I know sometimes I won't even

346
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: know that I'm stressed because like the way for me,

347
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: like I won't break out in highs, I won't like,

348
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, I don't feel like everything's fine, Like everything's fine,

349
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: but then I'm incredibly sleepy, like if I'm just randomly

350
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: sleepy during the day, like I can't even keep my

351
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: eyes a week sleepy. I finally figured out that is

352
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: how stress manifests with itself. With me, It's like, really,

353
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: I get so exhausted. It's like I can't even get

354
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: up out of bed. I can't even and I'm like,

355
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: what the hell's going on. I'm like, Tiffany, something's wrong.

356
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: And I forget how I figured out that that's what

357
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: that was, like my mechanism for my body dealing with stress,

358
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: Like that's my.

359
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: Every day though it's tired.

360
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: I mean, like I take that's regularly anyway, but it's

361
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: like a different kind of sleepy. It's a weary. It's

362
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: a like a bone tired. And I'm like, Okay, something's

363
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: wrong and not feeling something's just not right. And so

364
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: usually that's how I don't know.

365
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: That I'm not slipping for me, things start slipping through

366
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: the cracks.

367
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 4: Last week, I scheduled all these interviews like with people,

368
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 4: like I'm always working on different stories at the same time,

369
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 4: and I had interviews with people set up today that

370
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 4: I maybe not do the story till next week, and

371
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 4: like I just kept forgetting about interviews and people would

372
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 4: call me and I would ignore my phone, and like

373
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 4: everything just started falling apart and the only person I

374
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 4: talked to all week was my boyfriend.

375
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: Like I just went home and just was in this.

376
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 4: Dark funk and I'm out of it now, like the

377
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 4: story is done, thank God.

378
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: But you're like, well, how do you does anybody have it?

379
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: Because honestly, if anyone out there is a therapist, I know.

380
00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: And honestly, when I was in college, I had to

381
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: experience like a lot of stress. A friend of mine,

382
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: she had been abused, like sexually and raped, and she

383
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 1: told me about it, like when I think I was

384
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: like nineteen or something like that. And at the same time,

385
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: like my house when I, like my parents lived because

386
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: I was on campus, they had a fire, really bad fire,

387
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: so they were all like living in like trailers. It

388
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: was just a lot going on at one time. And

389
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: I remember that she every day she would call me,

390
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: and I at the time, you know, you think you're

391
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: an adult, You're like, oh, you know, I can counsel her,

392
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: and so she we would talk about it like every

393
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: day for months until I remember being on campus feeling

394
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: like I was losing my mind and I'm like, well,

395
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: what's happening, and reading like the campus paper and seeing

396
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: like this little ad for like you want to see

397
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 1: a counselor. And I'd never thought about it before, but

398
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 1: literally it was like yes, and I like ran to

399
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: the counselor's office, and you know, people of color always

400
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 1: like I would never go to a therapist, and I'm like, well,

401
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: at that time, I really felt like I was. It

402
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: felt like I was breaking. There's no other way to explain.

403
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: Like I felt like like I was like a vase

404
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: that was glued together and it was slowly pulling apart,

405
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 1: and like if I didn't do something now that I

406
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: was going to break. And so I went intow the

407
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 1: counselor and I didn't know what was wrong until I

408
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: started talking to him, and I realized that he was like, Tiffany,

409
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: you're taking on the stress of what happened to your

410
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: friend and like reliving it as if it was me.

411
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: I was like writing poetry about rape, and at one

412
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:52,639
Speaker 1: point he was like, have you been reading. I'm like,

413
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: I don't know, and he was like, you're taking on

414
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: the emotions of like a victim, you know. And so

415
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: he was like and it was the hardest thing to

416
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: tell her that she couldn't unload on me anymore, because

417
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: I couldn't, I had said. He was like, timy, she

418
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: needs a counselor, Like, it doesn't mean that you can't

419
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: be her friend, but she's she's coming to you, but

420
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: you don't. You're not equipped to counsel her. She needs

421
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: a therapist, you know. And so that was like really

422
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: really really hard.

423
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 4: But I had a really good counselor. I went to

424
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 4: a counselor one during one, like I said, stress times.

425
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 4: I haven't had those since college. I had a really rough,

426
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 4: like semester and I went to a counselor and I

427
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 4: loved her.

428
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 2: I think her name was Maria.

429
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 4: I wish I could go back and find her, because

430
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I'll be honest, that was my first time

431
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 4: going to see it. Maybe my first was it, I

432
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 4: don't know whatever, my first like real as on my

433
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 4: own going to see a counselor for that one semester.

434
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 4: And she was tremendously helpful. I just saw her once

435
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 4: a week and we just talked things out, and you know,

436
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 4: then I graduated, and then I moved out of the

437
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 4: country and then I came to New York and it's

438
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 4: been really hard, but I've been trying to find.

439
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,959
Speaker 1: A good one. It's critical to find a good therapist.

440
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: Like it's only one other friend of mine that knows

441
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 1: that goes to a therapist regularly. And another friend just

442
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: hit me the other day and he was like, uh,

443
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: I think I need to see a therapist, and I

444
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: said should and.

445
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 2: I wish where do you start?

446
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 4: I went to like start with my insurance company, and

447
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 4: there's a bajillion different people, and then I started emailing

448
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 4: some people and one woman, I was like, trying to

449
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 4: work my schedule, but she only had she only had

450
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 4: appointments at like three pm, and because you know, everyone

451
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 4: wants to go before work and after, she's like, can

452
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 4: you come at two thirty on Wednesdays? And I was like,

453
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 4: I don't know, I'll try. And then she's like, actually,

454
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 4: I'm going to maternity leave and I'm not taking a.

455
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 2: New clients anymore. And I'm like, well, this is like

456
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 2: wasting my life.

457
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: So maybe just asking with friends, you know.

458
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 4: Like, yeah, you know, ask the expensive to my insurance

459
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 4: covers it. But I do through my network. So stress

461
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 4: and I'll update you guys if I find a therapist

462
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 4: and it starts working, because I feel like that's something

463
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,879

Speaker 1: So my bron break is pretty quick, and I'm sure

469
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,640
Speaker 1: some some of my fellow speakers are going to give

470
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: me the side I shade, but I don't care. Here

471
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: we go. I'm taking a brown break from Tella Summits.

472
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: For those of you who are in the self help

473
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: field and the speaker field, you might know what I'm

474
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: talking about as far as tell As Summits. If not,

475
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: this is what it is. It's usually one individual they

476
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: usually like a life coach or something like that. They

477
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: will ask other experts in their field to do some

478
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: pre taped recording and speaking about their expertise. In my case,

479
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: as buganista, they'll ask me to talk about personal finance,

480
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: and then they'll pick a launch date and then every day,

481
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: for anywhere from two days, maybe five, six, seven days,

482
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: they'll share one of these videos or they'll share one

483
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: of these recorded sessions with their audience, and the audience

484
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: gets to listen and gets in some just I don't know,

485
00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: just some empowerment for like seven days straight.

486
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 3: Right.

487
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: So at first, tell us something started around last year

488
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: in twenty fourteen, they seem so great. So I got

489
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: a lot of requests and I was like, yes, this

490
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: is great. Then people started overdoing them. It seems like

491
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: there is a tele summit everyverycing week and I'm sick

492
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: of it.

493
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: People do people pay money for these?

494
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: So no, they're They're typically free to listen when when

495
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: the when the recording comes out, but then at the

496
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: end of the telesummit, they will package them like all

497
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: of like the talks, and then they'll sell them like,

498
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: oh you can listen to it that yeah and so.

499
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: And I remember the first time I found that out

500
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: because the person who invited me on my first teleisoummit

501
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: did not tell me that. And I remember being like, so,

502
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: you're selling our interview, but am I making any money?

503
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: Like you didn't. I don't mind you selling to make money.

504
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: I get it, but at the same time, I would

505
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: like to be told that so I can make a decision.

506
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: And so yeah, So that kind of turned me off

507
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: to the whole tel a summit thing. I know. So

508
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that you shouldn't do a tele a summit.

509
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: You shouldn't, but you know, have.

510
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,879
Speaker 4: You seen blab yeah, I think it's blab blab. It

511
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 4: was like a fun, relaxed I've seen some of our

512
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 4: some of our PF blogger friends have done some cool.

513
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: Block his personal finance for those of you and not

514
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: in and.

515
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 4: Now you are challenging their intelligence. I figure they can

516
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 4: think now. But yeah, sob was like. Blab is like periscoping,

517
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 4: which is a live streaming app where you can whatever,

518
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 4: wherever you are, you can periscope, but anyone can tune in.

519
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 4: And blab is like you can conference call in other people.

520
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 4: It's like a group chat.

521
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:19,199
Speaker 2: It's very anyone and.

522
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 4: There's and it's free, and it's simple and it's right

523
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 4: there and it's I love it because it's there and

524
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 4: you see it and and it ends and there's no like,

525
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 4: there's no like, you know, pay for this, or there's

526
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 4: you know at the end of everything. And I think

527
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,119
Speaker 4: it's like a relaxed, casual way of maybe getting advice

528
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 4: from a group of people.

529
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: I just think that I wouldn't I want like more

530
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: speakers and stuff to be more creative and how to

531
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: reach their audiences because I think that it's been done

532
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: so much so that it's not as effective, you know,

533
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: it's become like almost like a fad. So I'm just like,

534

Speaker 1: let's move on some tell us something's sorry my speaker friends,

574
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 4: So what I loved about you I heard you'd give

575
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 4: a talk a couple of years ago where you talked

576
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 4: about how you weren't always the money Maven. Yeah, you

577
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 4: had some pretty humble beginnings when it came to dealing

578
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 4: with your finances. So I wanted to start off by

579
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 4: just asking you to talk about that. You know, your

580
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 4: early days and some of the mistakes you made, oh gosh,

581
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 4: just some of the mistakes I don't even want to

582
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 4: work to start.

583
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I always say that all thoseccolades are great,

584
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: and I really appreciate them. It's been a real blessing

585
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 3: to be able to share my message because my hope

586
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: is really to move the masses from debt management to

587
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 3: money mastery. And as I go out speaking all over

588
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: the country and doing all these interviews and you know,

589
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 3: just getting to do what I do, what I love

590
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 3: to do, I always meet people who say, but you

591
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 3: don't understand what it's like, or you don't understand what

592
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 3: it means to choose between you know, having to pay

593
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 3: your life bill and wanting to save or wanting to invest.

594
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 3: And I'm like, I don't know, no, sweetie, I know

595
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 3: very well. Let me tell you a little story. And

596
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 3: so really, I mean, I didn't grow up hearing about money.

597
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 3: I've heard Tiffany share her story and I'm always so

598
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,240
Speaker 3: impressed by her dad and what he imparted to her.

599
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:46,199
Speaker 3: But I didn't have any of that, and so but

600
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 3: was still able to go on to college and started

601
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 3: in real estate at nineteen years old as a sophomore

602
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 3: in college, became a real estate and mortgage broker at

603
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 3: twenty one as a senior in college. Actually started my

604
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 3: business while in school, which has its pros and cons,

605
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 3: but that's another story. If you have financial aid, there's

606
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:09,359
Speaker 3: a con there. But started this really great business during

607
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 3: my senior year in college, and it was a real

608
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 3: estate and mortgage company. Loved, you know, helping people budget

609
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 3: and get their credit in order and all those things

610
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 3: because it was going to move them towards purchasing a home,

611
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 3: which is how I could make money. So of course

612
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 3: I was super passionate about getting people, you know, on

613
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 3: the path. But at the same time, there were pieces

614
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,640
Speaker 3: to that puzzle beyond budgeting and credit that I really

615
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 3: didn't know about. And so while I was helping everyone else,

616
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 3: the recession hit around circa like two thousand and seven,

617
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight, and I lost everything. I lost everything.

618
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 3: So here I am, this little girl from south central

619
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 3: Los Angeles, went to college, started a business, thought I

620
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 3: did everything the right way, and still found myself flat

621
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 3: broke with everybody else.

622
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 2: And you should say I had the time to write

623
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 2: it wasn't you, It.

624
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 3: Wasn't just me. I had just gotten married. I had

625
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 3: spent ten weeks in the hospital on bet rest to

626
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 3: have my daughter, who was still born ten weeks prematurely,

627
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 3: which is a big deal. You know for those of

628
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 3: us who are mothers out there, you know that every

629
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: week counts. And so my daughter was born at thirty weeks,

630
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: which is extremely early. And so in the process of

631
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 3: all of that, the real estate market was crashing. You know,

632
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 3: I had tenants in my income properties that weren't paying rent.

633
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 3: I owed all this money, and at the same time,

634
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 3: I was racking up a four hundred thousand dollars medical bill.

635
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 3: And by the time I got out of the hospital,

636
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 3: everything around me had changed. It's like the whole world

637
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 3: changed a matter of about nine to ten weeks. And

638
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 3: I had a decision to make. Am I going to

639
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 3: worry about car notes and mortgages or am I going

640
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 3: to take care of this baby who's ten weeks early,

641
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 3: who needs my undivided attention at this point? And you know,

642
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 3: and I chose. I chose my family.

643
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: And I'm telling a story about how at one point

644
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: your rock rock bottom was when you were counting out

645
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 1: change to buy milk for your daughter.

646
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I had built a seven figure business, and

647
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 3: like it seemed like overnight, I was scraping up change

648
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:15,600
Speaker 3: to feed my daughter.

649
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 2: Were you and your husband in the business.

650
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: Together, we were?

651
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 4: We were so everything you had was tied up everything.

652
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 3: You know when people say like, don't put all your

653
00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 3: eggs in one basket, right, So we always thought like, oh, well,

654
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 3: we own investment property and we flip homes, and we

655
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 3: have this company, and we have an escro company, and

656
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 3: we do this and we do that. But all of

657
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 3: it was connected to real estate. And so when that

658
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 3: bubble burst, we felt it on every level and it

659
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 3: was only so long that we could juggle. We tried

660
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 3: to juggle for about a year, you know, Robin Peter

661
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 3: to pay Paul and you know that expression, and just

662
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 3: trying to shift things and okay, I made it just

663
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 3: in time. And you guys, honestly, it was exhausting. Yeah,

664
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 3: it got ex exhausting. Here I have this little baby

665
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 3: I'm trying to take care of and figure out this

666
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 3: whole motherhood thing. And then I went through like a

667
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 3: period of postpartum depression. So as much as I loved

668
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 3: my baby, I went through this phase where I was like,

669
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 3: what am I supposed to do with her, like what

670
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: is you know, Like I prayed for her and I

671
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 3: waited for her, and I you know, but it didn't

672
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 3: come naturally to me to be the doting mother. It

673
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 3: just didn't. And so there was so many different things

674
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: going on. And I know, like when people have their

675
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 3: back up against the wall with finances, it's not just that,

676
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 3: Like there's so many other things in life that happened.

677
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: And I was just overwhelmed when I turned the corner,

678
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,080
Speaker 1: like when did it finally let?

679
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just found myself literally. We had moved from

680
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 3: California to New Orleans, Louisiana to rehab the last of

681
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 3: the properties that we owned, hoping that we could squeeze

682
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 3: some money out of those. Well, the market kept tanking

683
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 3: and we didn't squeeze anything out of that. But I

684
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 3: ended up in a strange city, Florence City to me,

685
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: with no friends and no family and a little bitty

686
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 3: baby and just the three of us, my husband and

687
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 3: Reagan and I and I just found myself on the

688
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 3: bathroom floor crying, literally crying, bawling, ugly, sobbing, like what

689
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: did I do? Why? Why? Why? Like what am I

690
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 3: supposed to do with this? And I always say, like

691
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 3: I tell people, I reach for my Bible and I

692
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 3: opened it to this scripture like that I had read

693
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 3: several times before, but you know, you know, things hit

694
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 3: you a different way at a different time, you know.

695
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 3: So I had seen it before, but it didn't mean

696
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 3: anything to me. And it was probably seventeen sixteen and

697
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 3: basically said, what good is money in the hands of

698
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 3: a fool if they have no desire to seek wisdom?

699
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 3: Like and for the first time for me, what hit

700
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 3: me was I did really well, really early, which leads

701
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 3: you to believe that you're actually smart or right because you're.

702
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 4: In your early twenties at this point, right, Yeah, I

703
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 4: can't even imagine responsibility on your shoulders.

704
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 2: And then to see it all crash.

705
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, I have a business with sixteen employees,

706
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,719
Speaker 3: I own thirteen pieces of property. You know, I've been

707
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 3: in the hospital. I have this baby, this newborn baby

708
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 3: who's teeny tiny. I mean, my daughter was three pounds.

709
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 3: You know. People would see her and like, oh, is

710
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 3: that a doll in there? We're like, no, that's a child.

711
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 3: She's alive.

712
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: She's so beautiful.

713
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 3: Now.

714
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: I love seeing your pictures on Facebook.

715
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 3: Oh thank you. Yeah, she's eight years old now, love

716
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 3: of my life. But you know, during that time, it's like, man,

717
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 3: it hit me like you thought you were too smart

718
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 3: to ask for help. And that has been the thing

719
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 3: that has been the biggest lesson to me. I like

720
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 3: to understand that you need coaching, you need mentoring, you

721
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 3: need help. You need to talk to people who have

722
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 3: been there, done that, who are transparent enough to share

723
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 3: their journey and be real about it, you know. And

724
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 3: I never sought that out. I didn't even realize that

725
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 3: that was a thing until reading that verse in that moment.

726
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 3: And so a couple weeks later came to me that,

727
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 3: you know, just because I lost all my money, my

728
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: mind wasn't bad. You know, like what I did to

729
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 3: get it, I just knew I could do it again.

730
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 3: So I said, you know what, God, I dedicate you know,

731
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 3: my life to you. And I'm like, this mission for

732
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 3: me is to help people, not do what I did.

733
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 3: So I created Seek Wisdom Find Wealth, which is my

734
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 3: company today in two thousand and nine, and Seek Wisdom

735
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 3: Find Wealth is all about helping people, not just budget

736
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 3: and credit and all that stuff. Because it's great, but

737
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 3: you need the wisdom to maintain it, and wisdom comes

738
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 3: from being able to just talk to people. If wisdom

739
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 3: comes from being able to sit and listen to something

740
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 3: like brown ambition and like learning you know what I'm saying,

741
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 3: and learning from other people's mistakes.

742
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 4: Who are some of the people you reached out to

743
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 4: in the beginning you said that you sought wisdom first

744
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 4: from mentors and other people that you looked up to.

745
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 4: Who are some of those people that were helpful to you?

746
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 3: Oh, let's see. At that time, it was there were

747
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 3: a lot of more so like my pastors, like people

748
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 3: back home that used to be my pastors. I had

749
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 3: a great mentor named George Thompson, and he was actually

750
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 3: the minister of storship at the church that I attended,

751
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 3: And so he was the first person that I saw

752
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: do what I do today, like stand up and talk

753
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 3: about money at a church service. And I had never

754
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,080
Speaker 3: seen anything like that. I was about twenty two years

755
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 3: old and I reached out to him. I'm like, you know,

756
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 3: I had to humble myself because all everyone knew was

757
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 3: that Gerald and I, my husband and I had built

758
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 3: this real estate empire and everything was roses. But then,

759
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 3: you know, everything hit rock bottom. And we like got ghosts.

760
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 3: You know, you're not out at parties anymore, you know,

761
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 3: I mean gas or lights. You know, it's like no

762
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 3: gas to go cross town. I'm not about to do that,

763
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,719
Speaker 3: you know. So we just disappeared and people didn't know

764
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 3: to where. They didn't know what happened with Reagan. You know,

765
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 3: no one knew anything. And so I started to reach

766
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,440
Speaker 3: out to just the people like George Thompson who had

767
00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 3: blessed me at different points in my life, reaching out

768
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 3: to my pastor. You know, Steve Harvey has been a

769
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Speaker 3: mentor of mind since I was in college. I used

770
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 3: to work for him as well, around the same time

771
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 3: I was in real estate. I also worked on his

772
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 3: radio show when it was just in LA. And so

773
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 3: that's the connection.

774
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Steve.

775
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, how does one wind up as Steve's go to

776
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 4: money Maven money Expert? Because that's amazing and you're doing

777
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 4: You're speaking to such a people that I think really

778
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 4: could use someone like you telling them, you know, inspiring

779
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 4: them to manage your finances.

780
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean it's all been so random,

781
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 3: like the best kid. Yeah, Like it's all been so random.

782
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 3: So I'll tell you guys, I really quickly. When I

783
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 3: even met him when I was in college, it was

784
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 3: because I heard him on the radio and literally to myself,

785
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 3: I was I was a vice president of Black Student

786
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 3: Union at USC, and I said to myself, like, he

787
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,879
Speaker 3: sounds like he has money. Like I'm going to go.

788
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 3: They said, do you want to come to the live

789
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 3: studio audience? So I was like, yeah, I'm going to

790
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 3: the live studio audience and I'm going to has Steve

791
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 3: Harvey for some money for Black Student Union at USC.

792
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,719
Speaker 3: He didn't go there, but of course he cares. You

793
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 3: know whatever nineteen year old logic I had at the time,

794
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 3: And I wrote this letter on oh no, actually you

795
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 3: had to fax in if you wanted to come. You guys,

796
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 3: I've jammed their fax machine.

797
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: Wow.

798
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 3: I faxed like seventy times. This is today, right, and

799
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,439
Speaker 3: the guy and like you feel me Like the guy

800
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 3: called and he was like, well, you have to come

801
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 3: because you jammed the fax machine. Like he was so

802
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 3: mad at me. He's my friend now, but it's like

803
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 3: he was so mad at me at that time. So

804
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 3: I made it into the live studio audience and as

805
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 3: soon as I walked in, they were like no soliciting.

806
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,919
Speaker 3: And I'm like, they must be talking to these other

807
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 3: thirty or so people because I came here to get

808
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 3: this money and I'm leaving without it. And I'm very

809
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 3: clear about that. So at the end, people kept like leaving,

810
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 3: and I kept letting them go in front of me like, oh, no,

811
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 3: you go ahead, I'm good and taking a step back

812
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 3: and taking a step back and taking a step back.

813
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 3: And then finally the guy who was over the audience

814
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 3: was like, you know, what are you doing? Like why

815
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 3: are you still here? Are you trying to ask for something?

816
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 3: Are you? No? He said, are you soliciting? And I'm like,

817
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 3: I wouldn't call it solictening. Let me tell you who

818
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 3: I am. And I started on this whole thing and

819
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 3: told him that I went to sc and he goes, oh,

820
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 3: I used to be the Chicano student Union president at USC.

821
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 3: Hold on, let me let me see what I can do.

822
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 3: Like I was blowing my girl who was the president

823
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 3: left like I was the vice president. She was president,

824
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 3: and she got scared and walked out there.

825
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: And she needed to be impeached.

826
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: Well, she maybe had more to lose, so she left.

827
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 3: So I'm up there and long story short, it ended

828
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,359
Speaker 3: up being there, ended up being a relationship there. They

829
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 3: just thought I was funny, like this girl is crazy

830
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 3: because I kept coming back asking for money, and eventually

831
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 3: I asked for five hundred. They gave me two thousand.

832
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 3: Then started the relationship, and then they asked if I

833
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 3: wanted to be an intern, which I turned down because

834
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 3: it was unpaid. But then God needed something to do,

835
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 3: so I said, okay, I'll do it my sophomore year

836
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 3: in college. And so that started a fifteen year relationship

837
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 3: that I have with Steve Harvey. Now, now, how I

838
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 3: got put on as his money expert for everything really

839
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 3: because he watched me do the work, you know, he

840
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 3: called me he had. The producer of the radio show

841
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 3: reached out to me about two months before Real Money

842
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 3: Answers for every Woman came out the first time when

843
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 3: I self published in twenty fourteen. She reached out to

844
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 3: me around November of twenty thirteen and said, hey, when

845
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 3: does your book come out? And I told her the date,

846
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 3: like January eighth, I think it was, and she said,

847
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,200
Speaker 3: oh okay, And I was like, well that was strange

848
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 3: and didn't I mean, you know, they're strange people over there.

849
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 3: So I didn't think anything of it. I know they're

850
00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 3: all like family, but so I didn't think anything of it.

851
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,399
Speaker 3: I was like whatever, And then she calls back, maybe

852
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 3: a couple hours later. She says, Harvey wants to help

853
00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: you debut the book. And I was like, oh my gosh,

854
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 3: like I've never asked for anything except for that five

855
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 3: hundred dollars early on, I hadn't asked for anything ever.

856
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 3: And so I went on the first time. The day

857
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 3: the book came out, you know, we instantly made it

858
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 3: an Amazon bestseller. I was so, you know, just throw

859
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 3: with the opportunity. I was more than grateful over the

860
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 3: moon and didn't think anything of it. And then they said,

861
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: we got eight hundred plus emails from people who wanted

862
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 3: to know your name or the name of the book

863
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 3: or asking questions, so you have to come back. And

864
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 3: I went back about three weeks later, same response. And

865
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 3: then I went back maybe two weeks after that, same response,

866
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 3: and then he said, oh, hell, just do it every week.

867
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: I love that. But you know, you said something so

868
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: so so powerful, because someone could look at you and

869
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: be like, well, yeah, she's gorgeous and she's this, and

870
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: she's no you said that you did the work. And

871
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: that's like such a such an important thing I think,

872
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: to just really impress upon that you did the work.

873
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,319
Speaker 1: This is a fifteen year relationship. This wasn't just some

874
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: fluke you know, r success.

875
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 3: And you know what is really important for me to

876
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 3: let people know as well, because they think, like, oh, well,

877
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 3: you know Steve Harvey. So clearly no, not at all.

878
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 3: Lots of people know Steve Harvey. Well no, folks. But

879
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 3: the thing is, he told me on a commercial break

880
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 3: that second time I was on, he said, you know

881
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 3: why I would always help you? And I was like, no, sir,

882
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 3: you know, like why is that? He said, because you

883
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 3: never asked? He said, you never asked. People come in

884
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 3: and ask. They don't have their stuff together. They're not

885
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 3: on their social media, they haven't written something of quality,

886
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 3: they're not doing videos, they're not out there speaking, they're

887
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 3: not doing anything, and they want me to put them

888
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 3: on and create some type of Oprah effect. It means nothing.

889
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 3: If you get the opportunity but you haven't built a

890
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:54,879
Speaker 3: strong foundation, None of that means anything. So before even

891
00:39:54,920 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 3: the Steve Harvey opportunity came, I was already writing for

892
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 3: Black Enterprise I was already writing for Huffy Post. I

893
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 3: was already writing every week for Hello Beautiful for like

894
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,040
Speaker 3: two years. I was already out there speaking. I was

895
00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 3: already doing YouTube videos like so if he could look

896
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 3: and see, like, oh, Patresa's out here, like she's she's

897
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 3: doing her thing, let me give her a hand up

898
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 3: and not a handout.

899
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 1: We just mentioned that last I'm so glad you said that, Andy,

900
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: was that my brown break?

901
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 4: Yeah?

902
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 2: I was asking for people who want something for you

903
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 2: without giving.

904
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: You yes, like asking for help handout, Like help is

905
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: different from a handout. And I'm sure now, especially with

906
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: you doing you know so well. But sometimes my emails,

907
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, have you put an air.

908
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 3: Girl, Tiffany that we have to talk about that the

909
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 3: other day we have to talk about It's like I

910
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 3: don't mind, And Steve says this, I don't mind, you know,

911
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 3: teaching you to fish, but I'm not going to hand

912
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 3: you a fish sandwich, you know what I'm saying, And

913
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 3: like people want you to give them a fully cooked,

914
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 3: fully prepared and knock her up situation.

915
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 4: It's like, ma'am absolutely not know what about the women

916
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 4: out there who maybe feel like they are doing the work,

917
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 4: but don't feel like they're getting their recognition. Do you

918
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:07,800
Speaker 4: have any advice for them or something you could offer,

919
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 4: and maybe that made you different or stand out.

920
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 3: You know what I look for God winks all along

921
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 3: the way God, I look for godwinks. I look for

922
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,280
Speaker 3: little little notes that just say you're on the right path,

923
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 3: you're on the right path, you're moving in the right direction.

924
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 3: And that doesn't always come from huge recognition. You know,

925
00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 3: early on when I first started blogging in two thousand

926
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 3: and nine twenty ten, like, you know, nobody knew who

927
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 3: I was, and I was I was just blogging and

928
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 3: hoping that my mama read it. And half the time

929
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 3: she didn't either. You know. I'd be like, did you

930
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 3: like what I wrote this week?

931
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 2: She's like, ah, another one, you know, says.

932
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 3: Didn't get a chance to go over, you know, And

933
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 3: so you know, it was one day when I didn't,

934
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 3: I was like I felt defeated, you know. For like

935
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 3: a period, I'm like, I don't know what I'm doing,

936
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 3: Like I don't even know how this blog thing works.

937
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 3: I wasn't on social media yet and I was just

938
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 3: joining Twitter, you know, I was just trying to figure

939
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 3: it out. And a random guy emails me and says,

940
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 3: I hope you're okay. You haven't blogged in a while.

941
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 3: And I said, oh my gosh, I don't even know him.

942
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 3: Who is he? Where did he come from? You know,

943
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 3: like I had no idea, and just that note to

944
00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,200
Speaker 3: me let me know that you're making a difference, even

945
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,680
Speaker 3: if it's for one person. And that was my god

946
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 3: wing to keep going. And I could tell you today

947
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 3: like if he had to email me, I don't know

948
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:34,240
Speaker 3: where i'd be today because his email encouraged me to keep,

949
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 3: you know, to keep blogging every week, to start sharing

950
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 3: with other people to read. You know, so I look

951
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 3: for those little things. It's always it's not always going

952
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,440
Speaker 3: to be the big recognition. You know, now more people

953
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:48,720
Speaker 3: know me, but five years ago nobody did. But that

954
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 3: that didn't mean that, you know, I could take a break.

955
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 3: I thought it did, like, you know, this is not

956
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 3: working out, but there's always someone you're blessing and you have,

957
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 3: you know, I always ask people to like what are

958
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 3: your motives? Like what are your motives for doing what

959
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 3: you do? Because is it truly to impact the people

960
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: or is it to get the recognition of man the

961
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 3: recognition is great, but it's a byproduct of your mission

962
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:11,800
Speaker 3: to impact other people.

963
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,760
Speaker 1: Agreed, somebody for somebody out there right now. That's your guidewing.

964
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:17,600
Speaker 1: Just in case you didn't get it, get it.

965
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 4: Maybe if you're working really hard and not getting to

966
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 4: where you want to be, maybe you're not doing it

967
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 4: for the right reasons.

968
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 2: That could be a factor. Or what you're doing maybe

969
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,719
Speaker 2: isn't what you really want to be doing deep down, or.

970
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 3: What you should be doing. You know, I meet a

971
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 3: lot of people who are you're an author's speaker coach

972
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 3: because that looks popular, like as everybody is an author's

973
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,760
Speaker 3: speaker coach right now, you know, like in social media

974
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 3: that you see, you know, it's like in social media,

975
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 3: that's what you see, you know, But are you really

976
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,280
Speaker 3: doing the work that you were called to do? People

977
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 3: ask me, like, you know, why I chose this. I

978
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 3: really didn't choose this. I don't believe that I chose it.

979
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 3: I believe that it's a calling, you know, And so

980
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 3: sometimes I think we focus on what popular instead of

981
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 3: focusing on what's truly our purpose, and then we get

982
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 3: lost in trying to do all of those other things.

983
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 3: Even for those people who feel like they're somewhat you know,

984
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 3: they found success or they've gotten recognition and what they're doing,

985
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 3: but they're coveting what somebody else has going on, and

986
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 3: they want to do what somebody else has that might

987
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 3: not be your lane, you know what I'm saying. So

988
00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 3: you got a question like, am I truly doing this

989
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,760
Speaker 3: because I'm called to do it and because I truly

990
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 3: care about the people that I serve? Or am I

991
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 3: doing it for the recognition? And you know, well, I honest,

992
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 3: I want.

993
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 4: To just interrupt because you do have kind of a

994
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 4: big deal happening right now. Your book Real Woman or sorry,

995
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 4: Real Money Answers for Women is coming out.

996
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 2: When is it coming out?

997
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 3: Real Money Answers for every Woman comes back out January nineteenth,

998
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen. And I'm super excited.

999
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 2: Some time for New Year's Resolution.

1000
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I'm super super excited because when I saw portray,

1001
00:44:58,120 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: I think you posted I don't know if it was

1002
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: lif next year when you got the contract with the

1003
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 1: major publisher, but you bold it like this beautiful story.

1004
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 1: I think it was about your grandmother.

1005
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1006
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: I was like peering up at this in front of

1007
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: my computer, like go.

1008
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: Ahead, what yeah. I mean that means so much to

1009
00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 3: me because, you know, I always share that my grandmother

1010
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 3: didn't have a sixth grade education and was basically illiterate.

1011
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 3: And she passed away in January twenty thirteen, and it

1012
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 3: was at the time that I was writing real Money

1013
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,480
Speaker 3: Answers for every Woman. And again, it was one of

1014
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,399
Speaker 3: those moments where I wanted to. I wanted to dwell

1015
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 3: on my grandmother's passing, you know, because I was so

1016
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 3: busy being busy, and I lived out of state, and

1017
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 3: I didn't get to spend time with her the way

1018
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,839
Speaker 3: that I wanted to, like that last year, and so

1019
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 3: there was a lot of guilt and I was just

1020
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 3: feeling some kind of way. And my grandmother came to

1021
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 3: me in a dream shortly after she passed and was

1022
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 3: yelling at me like she often does. I'm Caribbean, I'm Bellizian,

1023
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 3: my grandmother. Yeah, yeah, I'm Belizia. And my grandmother was

1024
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 3: yelling at me with this thick accent, like telling me

1025
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 3: basically to get my life in order. And she said

1026
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:08,880
Speaker 3: all these things, and I couldn't quite put it together.

1027
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 3: And I talked to someone in our family who interpresed

1028
00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 3: dreams and she said, Basically, she's saying, you need to

1029
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 3: finish whatever work of art or creative body you're working on.

1030
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 3: And I was like, work of art, what is that

1031
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,960
Speaker 3: creative body? And I'm like, oh, my book. And she

1032
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:25,760
Speaker 3: was telling me in the dream that it would change

1033
00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,479
Speaker 3: lives and it would change my life. And the book

1034
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:32,360
Speaker 3: came out January the next year, January twenty fourteen, a

1035
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 3: couple of days before her passing, heard the anniversary of

1036
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,520
Speaker 3: her passing, and it did. It totally changed my life.

1037
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 3: It's what, you know, got me to the Steve Harvey Show,

1038
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 3: which has gotten me to so many other things. Thousands

1039
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,480
Speaker 3: of women have reached out to me literally talking, you know,

1040
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 3: telling me about their testimonies and how it's blessed them

1041
00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 3: and how it's restored their relationship with siblings or their

1042
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,440
Speaker 3: you know, their spouses and all this stuff. I did

1043
00:46:58,480 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 3: eighteen thousand copies, so self published, awesome, And then January

1044
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 3: twenty fifteen, I got to deal with HarperCollins. They reached

1045
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 3: out to me about wanting to re release the book

1046
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,640
Speaker 3: under their label and make it available everywhere, making it

1047
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 3: available everywhere books are sold, and.

1048
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 2: So first and the publisher reached out to you.

1049
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, so January is a good month for you.

1050
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:25,400
Speaker 3: You know what, these last few years, since January twenty twelve,

1051
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 3: it has been working out to be a very good

1052
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 3: month for me. I look forward to January's.

1053
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about the book.

1054
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,400
Speaker 4: I think what I love most about the idea of

1055
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 4: the book is that you're not just talking about budgeting,

1056
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 4: while that's important and how to save money and how

1057
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 4: do you know coupon and stuff. You really emphasize what

1058
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 4: we love talking about with you money, how to make more,

1059
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,479
Speaker 4: earn more, and get more out of life. So talk

1060
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 4: to us about some of the advice you have for

1061
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 4: women in your book and why you're really focusing on

1062
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 4: building wealth.

1063
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, just from a byproduct of being out

1064
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 3: there and speaking and receiving people's questions, I hear like

1065
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 3: probably eight times out of ten people say, well I

1066
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 3: don't do that because I don't earn enough. And it

1067
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:09,600
Speaker 3: just came up constantly to the point where I was like,

1068
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 3: you know, when I think about a lot of the

1069
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 3: books that I even read on personal finance, there's a

1070
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 3: lot of information about what to do once you have it,

1071
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,359
Speaker 3: but the gap there is, well, how do I get it?

1072
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 3: You know. And so I dedicated an entire section to

1073
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 3: earning more money in the book. And it's not just

1074
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 3: about entrepreneurship, because I realize that everyone is not called

1075
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 3: to be an entrepreneur. And to your earlier question, Mandy,

1076
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 3: that might be why some of us are not getting

1077
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 3: where we want to go because this life save.

1078
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,240
Speaker 2: For you Booth, thank you for saying real. Not everyone's

1079
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 2: meant to have their own business.

1080
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 1: It's okay.

1081
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 3: You know. It's like it's like a craze, you know,

1082
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 3: and it's you know, I really struggle with quote unquote

1083
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 3: experts who make people feel that if they're not out

1084
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,319
Speaker 3: there hustling and you know, doing their own thing, that

1085
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 3: they're doing something wrong. Like I employ people, I need

1086
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 3: them to you know what I'm saying, I need them

1087
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 3: to run what I'm trying to do. Everybody is not

1088
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 3: supposed to be their own boss. They're just not. And

1089
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,359
Speaker 3: that's okay because you can serve in a different way

1090
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,240
Speaker 3: and still fulfill your purpose. And so in the book,

1091
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 3: I talk about workplace wisdom. You know. So if your

1092
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 3: thing is I need to earn more money while I'm

1093
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 3: you know, on someone else's dime or in someone else's job.

1094
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,920
Speaker 3: Can we talk about the fact that, you know, if

1095
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 3: you want to raise you should probably get to work

1096
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 3: on time, like.

1097
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:28,799
Speaker 1: Can we Is that too much to No, that's not

1098
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: too much to ask.

1099
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 3: To ask, you know, like or you know you want

1100
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 3: the promotion, you got to ask for it, you know.

1101
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:40,080
Speaker 3: And it can't be an emotional ask, ladies. It can't

1102
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 3: be like, well, I feel like and you know because

1103
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 3: you see me come early. You know I leave late.

1104
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I got cancer fieves. You know I

1105
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,840
Speaker 3: got bills due. Listen, all of that is true. And

1106
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,839
Speaker 3: we hey, we support you, we honor you. However, that's

1107
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 3: not a good case to present to your boss, superior

1108
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 3: or supervisor whomever. Right, So in the book, I talk

1109
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 3: about strategies for building your bag folder. You know, what

1110
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 3: value are you bringing to the table? It can't just

1111
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 3: be about what you feel like, you know, it has

1112
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 3: to be about the research. You have to quantify what

1113
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 3: you've been able to do, because at the end of

1114
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 3: the day, business is not all about emotions. It's about

1115
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 3: the bottom line. And are you adding to the bottom line?

1116
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 3: Are you saving the company money? What are you doing?

1117
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 3: Are you even in the right position? Does it really

1118
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 3: serve you. Are you really doing the work that you

1119
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 3: feel called to do or do you just have a job.

1120
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with having a job, it's do you

1121
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 3: have the right job for you? Because I realize that

1122
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:46,399
Speaker 3: when people are unfulfilled in their careers, usually that leads

1123
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 3: them to mismanage their finances. Because I need so many

1124
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 3: women who are quick to go to the mall on

1125
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 3: a Friday because they're frustrated with everything that they've been

1126
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 3: through all week, you know, And then we get into

1127
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 3: justifying our purchases like, oh, I work hard, deserve it.

1128
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 3: Oh they don't work me this week. Oh no, that's

1129
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 3: them working you this week. Doesn't justify you buying you know,

1130
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,520
Speaker 3: those pumps that you can't afford, you know, like those

1131
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 3: those two things don't go together. So instead of trying

1132
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:17,440
Speaker 3: to justify what you don't like about where you are,

1133
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 3: let's work on putting you where you really belong so

1134
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 3: that you can prioritize and then find prosperity.

1135
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: So you said, January what day again?

1136
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:27,319

Speaker 3: I'm so excited, Yes, so excited.

1170
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 2: It's like peanut butter and jelly.

1172
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:07,719
Speaker 1: see me. So yeah. So I just can't wait for

1173
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: you guys to see what that kind of like collaboration

1174
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:13,439
Speaker 1: looks like, because it's just really important one for women

1175
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,240
Speaker 1: of color to collaborate, you know. Paterrecea and I, although

1176
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: like the overarching goal is the same to help women

1177
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: live better, that still we do things in different ways.

1178
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: And so you'll find something differently for me through the

1179
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,640
Speaker 1: Live rich Or Challenge and something different from for trees.

1180
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: And I just think that there's not enough brown faces

1181
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 1: in this space. And you know, and we and the

1182
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: thing is we're really supportive of each other, but we're

1183
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:41,359
Speaker 1: trying to shift from just being supportive to being strategic,

1184
00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: and just like even me and Mandy doing the podcast together,

1185
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: this is a strategic alliance. So it's not just me saying,

1186
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: oh I like them because I've known Mandy what like

1187
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:55,439
Speaker 1: two years before this or something. For technically, that's why

1188
00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:58,920
Speaker 1: we did have a f anniversary and so but still,

1189
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 1: you know, so it's like it's one thing to say, oh,

1190
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: I like Mandy to being like, oh, well, let's do

1191
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 1: a podcast together. And so, you know, just learning that

1192
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: in this space of women of color, like how can

1193
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: we do things and in ways that it's strategic so

1194
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:15,120
Speaker 1: we can, like, in just a technical way, move each

1195
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: other forward. So I'm just really excited to partner and

1196
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 1: do that.

1197
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 3: So I am too, and I thank you so much

1198
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 3: for your heart, Tiffany, and your willingness to be strategic

1199
00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 3: in that way and to partner and to be an

1200
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,239
Speaker 3: example to women in every industry, not just in an

1201
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 3: industry where you know, we're you know, few and far between,

1202
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,840
Speaker 3: but just in every industry as women, you know, we

1203
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,840
Speaker 3: just have to dispel these myths that women don't like women,

1204
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,800
Speaker 3: or that women can't work together, that we can't support

1205
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 3: each other and figure it out, like that's such a crop.

1206

1283
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:20,160
Speaker 1: Belle has the sweet potato pies that she's selling at

1284
00:58:20,280 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: the mart, the Walmart, the Walmart, Okay, And I had

1285
00:58:23,960 --> 00:58:25,880
Speaker 1: never you know, I knew Pattle LaBelle was known for

1286
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,480
Speaker 1: cooking and Southern cooking and she I did not know that. Yeah,

1287
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,120
Speaker 1: she's supposed to be really she has a great like

1288
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: cookbook supposedly so anyway, she cooks really well. And so

1289
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 1: she has these new pies which I had never heard

1290
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: of until a friend of mine posted this video and

1291
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: tagged me in it of this young man named James

1292
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: Wright Chanelle. And I'm pretty sure Chanelle is not his

1293
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 1: last name, but anyway, and James does this video where

1294
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:53,480
Speaker 1: he is trying her new Patti LaBelle pie and he

1295
00:58:53,640 --> 00:58:57,680
Speaker 1: goes in. It is so hilarious but so compelling. It

1296
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 1: already has nearly eight million views on his first review

1297
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 1: of Patty's Pies and nearly three million reviews on his

1298
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 1: second review.

1299
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 4: He's giving her so much, pretty per so much. I

1300
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 4: feel like she should pay him commission.

1301
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,800
Speaker 1: What don't you know? I think the last two days

1302
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: they sold two point five million pies at four dollars

1303
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 1: a pop came out and they've sold out of Walmart's nationwide,

1304
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 1: and so yeah and all of this, and yeah, I

1305
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: just he got a phone call from Patty. But I'm like,

1306
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: I needs to cut that check. So we're gonna play

1307
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:29,080
Speaker 1: some of the review. So James in this clip I'm

1308
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: about to play he has just taken a bite of

1309
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: the pie and he's about to go off Patty. Is

1310
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 1: anybody nobody in the video? Patty?

1311
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 3: WHOA?

1312
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 1: But I turned into Patty? You turned into Patty after

1313
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 1: eating this?

1314
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 3: When you've been Is it that good?

1315
00:59:57,560 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 7: So he is eating a pie and singing Patty lab songs?

1316
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 7: What okay, okay, okay, James is just.

1317
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: It's time to see Lady Baba La. So he is

1318
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: like in love with these pies and his conviction about

1319
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: the Patty Pies hashtag Patty Pie Patti.

1320
01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:24,040
Speaker 4: The three minute video it is, but you feel like

1321
01:00:24,080 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 4: he's not even He's so in his head in the

1322
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 4: moment and the emotion of the pie.

1323
01:00:28,440 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 2: He's like forgotten the camera.

1324
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,960
Speaker 1: Yes he has he is just eating those pies and

1325
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,439
Speaker 1: so it is hilarious. You should definitely google James Wright

1326
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Patty Pies because you will get your giggly life. And

1327
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: that is my win. My win is for Patty and selling.

1328
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: He's getting literally millions of dollars in free press and

1329
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: selling out of pies nationwide. And you know that actually

1330
01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: came for Patty a little bit. And I love her.

1331
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:52,320
Speaker 1: If you anall know, Miss Patty, she's not the one.

1332
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 1: You don't come for her unless she sends for you.

1333
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: So they said, well, did you make all these pies individually?

1334
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 1: And she said, did little Debbie make all her pies?

1335
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: Did McDonald's make his sandwich?

1336
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 2: He'll know?

1337
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: She was like, so, why are you worried about I

1338
01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: made all these pies? Don't be foolish. Yes, Patty gather

1339
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 1: them and so at least.

1340
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 4: It's her recipe and not like Popeye's Chicken where they

1341
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 4: had like that, you know, the old southern black ladys

1342
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 4: like the.

1343
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 2: Spokesperson for the chicken. But she's not.

1344
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm sure it's like an old white dude

1345
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 4: running things exactly.

1346
01:01:17,720 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 1: So yes, that is my win for the week.

1347
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 4: Patty pass which I live near Walmart that's hilarious, So

1348
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 4: real quick, I wanted to I have a couple of wins,

1349
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 4: but just a real quick one, impromptu. I wanted to

1350
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 4: say to the class of students and faculty at Missou

1351
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 4: University of Missouri who last week successfully protested against the

1352
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 4: systemic history of racism and racist acts at this college.

1353
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 4: Students have been through hell and and a lot of

1354
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 4: black students feel like they weren't being safe and that

1355
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 4: their president wasn't doing enough to wasn't doing enough to

1356
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 4: speak out against acts of racism, blatant racism. I think

1357
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 4: the most the most recent event to really get things

1358
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 4: kicked off and really inflame things was well, first of all,

1359
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 4: it was it all kind of stemmed from Ferguson last August,

1360
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 4: and then this was like a slowly slimmering sort of tension,

1361
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 4: and then finally someone apparently wrote a swastika in feces

1362
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 4: on a dorm room door or wall or something like that,

1363
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 4: and the president was dead silent, so they protested. You

1364
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 4: guys have probably heard about it by now, so I

1365
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 4: won't go into all the particular It's one of the

1366
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 4: students I think his name is Jona Jonathan belt I

1367
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 4: hope I'm getting his name right.

1368
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 2: He went on a hunger strike. Hunger strike.

1369
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,439
Speaker 4: I think he went a week, yes or eight days

1370
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 4: without food. Finally they succeeded. The president was let go,

1371
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 4: and I think a couple of faculty members for like

1372
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 4: related but not directly related issues have been let go.

1373
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 4: And it just sort of shows the power of activism

1374
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 4: on college campuses. And and I hope, you know, it

1375
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 4: won't fix everything, you know, the president honestly, they were

1376
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 4: right to point out his role as a leader in

1377
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 4: setting the tone for that sort of those sorts of actions.

1378
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 2: But you know, I don't know if it'll stop those

1379
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 2: from ever happening.

1380
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: But at least it puts people unnoticed. That's one thing

1381
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 1: about college campuses that are so great that students are

1382
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: more willing to take action. Like I was just walking

1383
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: throughs in New York maybe two days ago, and I

1384
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: saw in Washington Square Park. I'm guessing it's like NYU

1385
01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 1: students and they were doing you know, they had this

1386
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: just act the solidarity. It had to be at least
