Thank you. I wanted 61 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: to personalize that intro a little bit more soon than 62 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: just saying words, because when you're talking about something that is, 63 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: you know, people know what a bank teller does, they 64 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: know what a mailman does. They might even know what 65 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: an engineer does. You know, but to do what you 66 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: do requires a certain degree of explanation. So let's start 67 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: out allowing you explain your gift. Sure, So I have 68 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: a god given gift where I can literally look at 69 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: someone or hear their boys, look at a photo, and 70 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: know everything that has transpired in their lives, ranging from 71 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: past present as well as their future. Um, it is 72 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: a gift that I was doing with my family. Realized 73 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 1: that I'm six years old, that I had this gift, 74 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: and I used it to give you the insight and 75 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: the confirmation and the direction that you need in your 76 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: life that really propel. So I use it in a 77 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: positive manner. So I have a gift life. Just know 78 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: everything about your life right now? That's that's that sounds great. Okay, 79 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: a lot of people might want to might be comfortable 80 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: with discussing the past, maybe even the present. It is 81 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: the future that might throw people into because like it's 82 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: like I said, I think that the cool thing about 83 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 1: what you do is that we all I'll talk about 84 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 1: setting goal a lot on this show. That's that's the 85 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: purpose and setting plans. You gotta have a direction, you 86 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: have to be focused. But being able to tell people 87 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: what the possibility of the future is, doesn't that help 88 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 1: them set stronger goals? They're aligned with that prediction. Absolutely, 89 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: And that's why I incorporated life coach to my brain 90 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: because it definitely is a lot of coaching based off 91 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: of the information that I know that's transpired in their 92 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: past as well as their presence. I'm giving them the 93 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: road map and the two and the resources to sixty 94 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 1: to get to where they need to be. Now, I 95 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: include a possibility of your future because I cannot predict 96 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: anyone to teach you. I'm not God. Um it is 97 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: a guy gonna get but I'm not God. But based 98 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: off of what I know you can do to get there, 99 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 1: I'll give you the insight and most clients who listen 100 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: to me it almost ends up successful, right, And so 101 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: basically you're saying, look, I'm not telling you like you're 102 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: going to find a hundred thousand dollars next week, but 103 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: I can't tell you how you can get to that 104 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars based on what I know of you, 105 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: what my intuition is telling me you're capable of doing, 106 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: which is really really cool, you know, because we always 107 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: we always see that a lot that will just go 108 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,679 Speaker 1: back to normal because the coach is seeing an athlete 109 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 1: and say, you know, if you if you work hard, 110 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 1: you show up on time, and you give a then 111 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: you could be you could reach your goals as an athlete. Now, 112 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: as a life coach, we don't have that. We can't 113 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: tell somebody that you know, in order for you to 114 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: be successful, we can do it at certain levels. We 115 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: can tell you go to the school and get a 116 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: college degree, or graduate from high school, or go to 117 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: a trade school. But from a life perspective, you're doing 118 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: something rather unique, aren't you, Tosh? Absolutely yeah, because I'm 119 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: literally giving you the road map. People jokingly say that 120 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm like the che quote to life, because I'm giving 121 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: you the road map of what you need to do. 122 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: To get to where you desire to be God given purpose? 123 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: You know, I know what's happening. I want everyone to 124 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: just winning life, you know. So I'm the I'm the 125 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: resource for that. Right. So now they're always skeptics, you know. Okay, 126 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 1: Now how do you fight the skeptic? You know? And 127 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, here's the funny part about it. There's skeptics, 128 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: and people hire you even though they're skeptical. Yes, how 129 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: do you walk? How do you get passed us that 130 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: skepticism over? First? You might hire just the industry in general. Yeah, 131 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I just speak to them. I'm like, listen, 132 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: you know, I'm here to give you whatever God told 133 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: me to give you. I goes to the process, never chance, 134 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: even for skeptics, and I say, whatever God told me, Tony, 135 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give it to you. And I pray before 136 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: I speak to each of you, one of my clients, 137 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: so they can know where my information is coming from. 138 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: And I just start speaking. So with the information that 139 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: I give them without them not telling me a thing, 140 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: there's no way they can get a stepics because they're like, 141 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: how do you know this? What they just shot? And 142 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: I love those times I love the skeptics. I know, 143 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's really funny because my wife heard the 144 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: interview on Tuesday that we did on month Making Conversation Live, 145 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: which is a show I do in Atlanta on w 146 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: c okay every Tuesday from six pm standards.

She gonna reach out, 151 00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: I have something like Nope. It's not that I don't believe. 152 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: It's just that I'm a planner. I'm a guy that 153 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: that that all my life, I've been pretty focused. And 154 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: I said, if I stay focused on what I'm supposed 155 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: to do, then I'm gonna reach my goals. And her 156 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: her skill is a life coach. A lot of people 157 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: who sometimes maybe not as focused I am, maybe undone, 158 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: understand time management and get them aligned. That's why I 159 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: really love promoting your brand because I feel it's essential 160 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: to a lot of people to understand what's it expected 161 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: of them based on what you see of them, and 162 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: how they can reach them. Talk about that. Yeah, I 163 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: mean it's a process. You know what I want to 164 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: sertif by saying authenticity is key. I do not tell 165 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: people what they want to know. I tell them what 166 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: they need to hear, basically what's coming up for me. 167 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: And sometimes it's not the best. Everything is not always 168 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: flowers and sunshine. Sometimes we have to have full flegged, 169 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: hard conversations about where you are with your life and 170 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: being true to that. And so I'm compassionate, I'm gifted, 171 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: I'm intuitive, and I'm giving you your truth that you 172 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: can get to where your destiny to be. And that's it. 173 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 1: It is a process. And what the process starts how 174 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 1: because you know, sitting down with Tas for a talk 175 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: to Tash, that's the that's the session you know has 176 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: TV show written now all over it if a life 177 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 1: changing moment where she has an open and honest conversation 178 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 1: about what is working and not working in your life. 179 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: Right there is the key right there because a lot 180 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: of people out there, Tosh, because I want to get 181 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: down and dirty with your on it, because a lot 182 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: of people out there need to hear the truth. Now. Now, 183 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 1: if you have this gift, how do you break the 184 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: truth to people? I'm saying you need to stop doing 185 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: this when sometimes doing this is easy for them. It's easy. 186 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna hund your person authentic, you know, 187 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: I mean with s You've known me for a long 188 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: time now. I don't go back and from New York, 189 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: so you know, I give it how it is no chasing. 190 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who come to me and 191 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: want to know about their relationships. It's my spouse cheating 192 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 1: on me, right, computing on you. I'm gonna say your 193 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 1: spouse is cheating on you, and then I'll give them 194 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: whatever they need to find out why this is happening, 195 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: on how this is happening, to deal with the situation. 196 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: So again they want to know the truth. But sometimes 197 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: people can't handle the truth. So I just tell them, scared, 198 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. This is what we have and 199 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: this is what's going on. It's shocking, but it's it's 200 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: also healing in the same sense. Well, you know, here's 201 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: the funny point about it, and is maybe not funny 202 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: to some people. Go if you're coming to Taj and 203 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: say is he cheating on me? Yes? Is she cheating 204 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: on yes? Because you already at that question that questioning 205 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,680 Speaker 1: stage if you already doubt enough enough evidence has been planned. 206 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: Now you just want to Now you're just trying to 207 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: get evidence on it concrete things. So now now your layer. 208 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: Now you bring up the whole cheating thing. But you're 209 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: deeper than that, because you're talking about career talk, financial talk, 210 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: business decision talks. So let's break down each layer because 211 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,719 Speaker 1: we always can talk about the emotional relationship because that 212 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: that that that resonates openly with people, because you know, 213 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: people show they like you said, you wear your emotions 214 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: on your skin. Sometimes you know when your sleeve I 215 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,679 Speaker 1: should say. So, now with that being said, how do 216 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: you talk to somebody in a talk to tash session 217 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: about their business? How do you focus that person in? Yeah? 218 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: So usually I come up with Usually a strategy will 219 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,400 Speaker 1: come up. Right, the first thing that comes up is 220 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: the business, Like, hey, it's coming up to me that 221 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: you have a passion to start a business. Yes, something's 222 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: come up through with real estate. Real estate may come 223 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: up and I'm like, okay, great, how you can get 224 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: involved in real estate? Get involved with I don't know Airbnb, 225 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: this like I give them the road map basically, what's 226 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: coming up for me for them to really thrive within 227 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 1: the space of real estate for example. Right, so it 228 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: comes up for me intuitively what it is, and then 229 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: I tell them what they need to do to propel 230 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: in the area. If I'm making sense, but what makes 231 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 1: a lot of sense. I'm talking to tash Leah Hamilton's 232 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: she's an intuitive coach in other words, life coach. In 233 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: other words, I wouldn't say she um kids gifts and 234 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: her gifts allow her to be able to get you 235 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: focused on what your life or path you should take. 236 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: Because that's the key. Because I'm gonna keep bringing that 237 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: more and more because reaching your perfect guests for me 238 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: on money making conversation, because I'm always telling people is 239 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: that you know I'm talking about you know, leave with 240 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 1: your gifts. You know, uh, don't let your friends, family 241 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: or co workers stop you from planning or reaching your dreams. 242 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: And so basically you're just doing what I say as 243 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: an intuitive coach, You're you're finding these people, You're setting 244 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: them down, whether it's a business or relationship or career 245 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: saying Okay, I know you love basketball. I know you 246 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: play basketball, but you're really talented as a musical artist. 247 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: So so put down the basketball, treat it as a hobby. 248 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: Let's let's come on over here. But how do you 249 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 1: read into that? Isn't through conversation or just people have 250 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: a certain or passion that they don't understand they have 251 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: or don't value it. That's the key right now in 252 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: the conversation because becuse of the fact that you said 253 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: something through your gift, why doesn't that person acknowledge it? 254 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 1: Or they just don't want to admit that's the direction 255 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: their life should take them. Yeah, I think it's a 256 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: combination of many things. You know, Oftentimes people are afraid 257 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: of their own talents. They're afraid of taking a leap 258 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: of faith. I was one of them, right, it's the 259 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 1: matter of putting in the work to make those things happen. 260 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: It may be easier to prick up the basketball as 261 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: opposed to starting a business, so most people want to 262 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: take the easy route. They want to say, I'd rather 263 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: just played safe and play the basketball, even though this 264 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: is my talent and I think about this every day, 265 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: I would rather play safe because success is not an 266 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: easy route. You have to work for your success, and 267 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: people don't want to put in the work. But Sean 268 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: they don't They want to go with the ticket, they 269 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 1: want the answers they wanted to be given to them. 270 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way. And so in our session, 271 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: I say, hey, this is what it's supposed to be. 272 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: It's going to take this, that, and this. But in 273 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: the end of that road, here's the benefit. Here's the reward. 274 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 1: They need to see that, they need to understand and 275 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 1: that there's light there for them if they put the 276 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: work in, and so I bring that out of them. Okay, 277 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 1: here's the here's the key term. You said a lot 278 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: of people try to take the easy route. One could say, 279 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: coming to you is an easy route? Is that true? 280 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: Kind of you know, I would like to jokingly say, 281 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: on the cheat cold to life because I'm hoping you 282 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: and cover the truth. However, it's still your decision. And 283 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: that's why I say I leave your past, your present 284 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: and the possibility of your future, because if you choose 285 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: to listen to the information I give you, great If 286 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,240 Speaker 1: you don't, then you know, whatever the results are, they are. 287 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: I can't make you do anything. It's it's your fault, 288 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: is your life. That's the key right there. Okay, cool, 289 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: Because I was messing with it, I kind of knew 290 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: the answer when I said it's a cheat or an 291 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: easy route.

Oh? 334 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 1: You wanted to open the line of such and such 335 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 1: she's said, you go, yes, well you should follow that dream. Okay, 336 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: that's the cheat. But the hard work is what she 337 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: telling you you have to put into it. So the 338 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: cheat is there. It might be an easy moment of 339 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: you skipping a line and focus on you. That's all 340 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: she's doing, y'all. She's focusing you to understand this is 341 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 1: the path you should go on. But what she's not 342 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 1: telling you, and what she can't tell you, is how 343 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: hard you are are willing to work for that dream? 344 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,560 Speaker 1: Talk about that's it. But that's that's the truth with Sean. 345 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: I mean there it is blatantly. You know, I tell 346 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: people I'm here as a resource to you.

But if you 349 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 1: choose not to do it, and that is your call. 350 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,719 Speaker 1: And often times people come to me for more than 351 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: one session and they take note or they record and 352 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: they're like, gosh, this happened. This happened. Everything's great, but 353 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,080 Speaker 1: this didn't happen yet. And I'm like, well, what do 354 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: you not say?

So it's really the 357 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 1: matter of taking accountability with your own life. I'm a resource, 358 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 1: but I can't control what you're supposed to do. That's 359 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,280 Speaker 1: up to you.

I'm always there, but you don't like I said. 427 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: You know, advice is how you accept it. And I 428 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 1: said that when I said disappeared, I wasn't there. And 429 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 1: she's gonna disappear. And it's since that she can't she 430 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: can't write out applications, she can't make you do push up, 431 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 1: she can't make you get up at four thirty or 432 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: five thirty every morning. She's not gonna physically be there, 433 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: so she's gonna disappear from the standpoint of In order 434 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: for you to achieve the goals that the dreams or 435 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: the expectations that she feeled through her life coach in twuitiveness, 436 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 1: you have to do it yourself. And so even though 437 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,479 Speaker 1: I had this intuition and then Lord knows, I am 438 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: not Tosh believe me about her, but I but I 439 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: knew that looking at her, she was happy kind of 440 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: but she was always talking about whenever she talked about 441 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,879 Speaker 1: her gifts, she laid up and she she was confident, 442 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,199 Speaker 1: and she started bragging a little bit.

Or he is he the one? 499 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 1: Or she'd the one? You know? Should not marry that person? 500 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: You know? Those are courtions that are are emotion. The 501 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: thing I like about you you you move from that 502 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 1: lane of emotion to professionalism, you know, And I said 503 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: that means careers, business objectives, decision making and things are 504 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: like that. How you're able to make that shift because 505 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 1: you were initially about emotionally dread a mostly request that 506 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: will driven by emotion. How is that whole transition to 507 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 1: the career aspect and the business aspect been so rewarding 508 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 1: for you as a reader? Absolutely so. I mean the 509 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: deep Dive session, which is my most popular session, gives 510 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,239 Speaker 1: you up to sixteen minutes with me via FaceTime just 511 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:27,160 Speaker 1: like this, and I am, I pray and I literally say, 512 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: I'm giving you the road map. We will cover health, wealth, love, 513 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: career finances, because we need to cover all points because 514 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: some things affects the other. Right, Sometimes if you're not 515 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: really needs to be with your career, you may be 516 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 1: black in your love life. Sometimes the career that you 517 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: have can be causing issues in your marriage. Sometimes you 518 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: know you want to buy a house, but you can't 519 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,439 Speaker 1: because you're not making enough money. You're not starting that 520 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: business that you really want to start. So it's just 521 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,920 Speaker 1: it's all connected anyway. And so it's an easy transition 522 00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 1: in the conversation because I want to see you when 523 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: literally in all aspects of your life and even health, 524 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: health is wealth. If your health is not together, then 525 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: the business and the money doesn't matter. So let's get 526 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: that in tight. So we're having real, full, flexed conversations 527 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 1: about literally everything, and those conversations can lead to financial success, 528 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: life success and when when your when your clients come 529 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: back to you, because these are not sessions that are 530 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 1: wornt off. I'm just tell everybody, don't don't do do 531 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: not call TAJ if you try to get a miracle 532 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 1: in one session. This is a this is the word 533 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: life coach is important that you hear, which means that 534 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 1: you gotta be with her for a moment because she 535 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: wants to be there. When as you start making your goals, 536 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,719 Speaker 1: because you have to reset new goals. So a lot 537 00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: of people fall off. When they do that, they think, 538 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: woll have I made it? No? No, no, no, there's 539 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: a new goal. It's just like when Tom Brady want 540 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? What did you say, I want to 541 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: win another one? Okay he didn't say, well could and 542 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:49,959 Speaker 1: a lot of people all happened just to win one 543 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: super Bowl. That's why they never get back. But you 544 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: look at talent, the people where there's a Michael George 545 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: or Lebron James, all these people year ound when you 546 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: story like Lebron James said, why's Lebron James ain't so 547 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: well at his age because he travels and spends over 548 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: a million dollars annually on his physical fitness. That's why 549 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: he can play like he's twenty two. And so when 550 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: you come to TAGE, know that you better come there 551 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: with the expectation that there's work involved, positive work, because 552 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 1: it's about you, and don't let work scare you, especially 553 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: when you're for the first time in your life. She's 554 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: gonna point you in the direction of happiness, and that 555 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: happiness would be achieved through your goals that she's gonna 556 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: put in place once she reads you. That put it 557 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: in perspective, that put it in place correctly, Tosh, that 558 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: is exactly what I do. Well. You know the thing 559 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,560 Speaker 1: about it is that again she's a friend of the 560 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 1: family and I take no credit for her gift. I 561 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: take no credit for her success. It's just that relationships 562 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,800 Speaker 1: are equally important your life, and I'm a positive relationship 563 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,120 Speaker 1: in her life. I'm a mentor in her life. And 564 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: because we all need that, she wants to become a 565 00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: mentor in your life.

I think that 657 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,280 Speaker 1: she would say to me every day, every morning, she 658 00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: would say this to me and my sister Kia, smile 659 00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,920 Speaker 1: and the world will smile with you. And she would 660 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: she would say that, and she'd always sell us to 661 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 1: close their mouths and listen. I didn't always do that, 662 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,640 Speaker 1: but the smile in the world will smile with you 663 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: is um, something that I've always carried with me and um, 664 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,839 Speaker 1: you know, there are definitely situations where it is hard 665 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:28,719 Speaker 1: to smile, UM, but I definitely try to bring that 666 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,160 Speaker 1: into all aspects of my life, UM, and especially in 667 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,760 Speaker 1: the stories that I want to tell. For black people, 668 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,000 Speaker 1: I think we deserve joy. And you know, it's one 669 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,360 Speaker 1: of the reasons why, uh my logo for my company, 670 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 1: I've wanted to find the brightest yellow possible, um ok, 671 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,279 Speaker 1: that we deserve joy. I mean yeah, even even the 672 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,120 Speaker 1: drama UM projects that I have, there are some levity 673 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,840 Speaker 1: to them because I do believe that, UM, too many 674 00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 1: times black stories are relegated to the drama that we 675 00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: carry versus all of the other amazing aspects that we 676 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: are as a people. Well, you know the reason I 677 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:08,919 Speaker 1: bring that up because when you come on my show, 678 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: I'm a guy, I'm a very visual guy, and I 679 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,560 Speaker 1: noticed things and that's my third eye, I can see things, 680 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:17,040 Speaker 1: and I see blessings. And your smile is a blessing. 681 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,799 Speaker 1: And a lot of people don't realize that that's just 682 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: those simple gifts that God give you can enable you to, 683 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,920 Speaker 1: you know, make your dreams come true, enable you to 684 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,640 Speaker 1: o well, create opportunities that wouldn't be available for ordinary people. 685 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,760 Speaker 1: And it's it's important to take advantage of all these talents. 686 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 1: That's one talent, your ability is that you're very articulate 687 00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 1: and so and you know, because we once you say, 688 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: as Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas. You know, they always have these 689 00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,040 Speaker 1: stereotypes and then when they throw this then you're black. 690 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 1: That's even deeper stereotypes. And then you're throwing at the 691 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 1: front of your resume Harvard graduate. Come on girl, come 692 00:35:53,440 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: on now, yes, yes, no, I I'm very proud of 693 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: the opportunities that you know, my my parents pushed me 694 00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:08,920 Speaker 1: towards and that I, um, you know, actively work towards. 695 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 1: And um I had a wonderful experience at Harvard UM. 696 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 1: You know, going there is an eighteen year old after 697 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: growing up in the South and the Midwest, UM was 698 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,720 Speaker 1: definitely a culture shock in a lot of different ways. 699 00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: But It just opened me up to so many incredible people, 700 00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:31,880 Speaker 1: so many incredible experiences, UM and UM really shaped who 701 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,240 Speaker 1: I am in a lot of different ways. And UM. 702 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,680 Speaker 1: You know, one thing that will say about a Harvard 703 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:43,040 Speaker 1: College education, like it's not necessarily about what you concentrated in, 704 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,759 Speaker 1: like what your major was. Um, it really was a 705 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,080 Speaker 1: curriculum that challenged you to think and how do you 706 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:53,239 Speaker 1: um open up your perspective on the world. UM And 707 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: so uh and you know, so many of the people 708 00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: that I met UM from that time are still uh 709 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,560 Speaker 1: a huge part of my life in a lot of 710 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: different ways. UM. I you know, I'm I'm a little 711 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,880 Speaker 1: sad this morning because this weekend I lost one of 712 00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: my dearest friends who lost her battle with cancer. Double 713 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,799 Speaker 1: Harvard graduate Christina Donaldson, who was a big sister to 714 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 1: me and also a beacon in terms of her entrepreneurial 715 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,040 Speaker 1: journey UM as the founder of Thank God I'm Natural 716 00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:29,840 Speaker 1: hair product line. UM. But anyway, Harvard was a wonderful 717 00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,600 Speaker 1: experience and I'm super glad that that's part of who 718 00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,960 Speaker 1: I am. Well, you know, I'm a cancer survivor. So 719 00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: when everyone anyone, I lose a friend, use a caller 720 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 1: A friend. And I don't know her, but I know 721 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 1: she fought the same battle that I'm fighting all the time. 722 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,560 Speaker 1: Because just because you surviving doesn't necessarily mean that cancer 723 00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,399 Speaker 1: is not going to come back. But what it does 724 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,759 Speaker 1: allow me to understand that you have to live your 725 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,840 Speaker 1: life and your dreams are possible as long as you 726 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 1: planned them't so, and I see you as a planner, 727 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,439 Speaker 1: you know, because of the fact that you have never 728 00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: let stereotypes, stereotype of being an African America from female stereotype, 729 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,239 Speaker 1: coming from the South, coming from Oklahoma, aucashol And then 730 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,040 Speaker 1: you went to Harvard, you graduated, How did you migrate 731 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 1: to Los Angeles? Leah? You know it was? It was. 732 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,440 Speaker 1: It was a fun, windy worad Um. I didn't necessarily, 733 00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:19,000 Speaker 1: you know, coming from having Southern black parents. After going 734 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: to Harvard, they were like, Okay, you're going to bed school. 735 00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,440 Speaker 1: You want to be in school? Like what graduate school 736 00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: are you doing? And I really wasn't clear. Um. So 737 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: I worked in financial services in New York and Chicago 738 00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,360 Speaker 1: and strategy UM, and I did, like every you know 739 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,399 Speaker 1: other good graduate of my class was preparing my applications 740 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:41,840 Speaker 1: to business school. UM and gratefully I am an alum 741 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: of the Ron Brown Scholar Program, and they put on 742 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,319 Speaker 1: a conference. Um the first time they put on a 743 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: conference about the arts and entertainment industry. UM and UH, 744 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 1: a wonderful man, Charles King gave a fireside chat about 745 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 1: his life as a super agent, and I was like, 746 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,239 Speaker 1: oh my god, this is so interesting. It was like 747 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 1: the first time that I heard the the phrase like, 748 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: you know, the intersection of art and commerce, which was 749 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,200 Speaker 1: so interesting to me. UM. Malcolm d Lee gave a 750 00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,080 Speaker 1: talk about how he had, you know, put together the 751 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 1: best man and UM, I just connected with a lot 752 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: of different folks that showed me that there was this 753 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:20,000 Speaker 1: creative path that I didn't realize was a real career UM. 754 00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: And so I was unfulfilled in what I was doing. 755 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,760 Speaker 1: I was doing well, but it just didn't completely feel 756 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,760 Speaker 1: all every aspect of who I am. And so UM, 757 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: I took the leap. I quit my job. You know, 758 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 1: I had friends out in l A who were in 759 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,120 Speaker 1: very studies as a film school, and I moved out 760 00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:40,760 Speaker 1: to l A, drove across country from New York and 761 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: UM a week after I got here, after having some 762 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:48,759 Speaker 1: informational UH coffees and conversations with literally anyone that I 763 00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: could connect within my network. Um I started working in 764 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,360 Speaker 1: the mail room at Endeavor, one of the major talent 765 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,880 Speaker 1: agencies which is now called w ME. But um I 766 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,239 Speaker 1: started in the mail room. After two weeks, one of 767 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: the partners put me in the motion picture lit group, 768 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: which was a great experience to really kind of get 769 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:15,319 Speaker 1: to know the industry. UM and hone my ability to 770 00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 1: you know, read scripts, understand different writers and directors, get 771 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: a sense of what my taste was in a lot 772 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: of different ways. And you know, from that one year 773 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 1: of working at the agency, um one of the agents 774 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: connected me with my first job out of the agency, 775 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:36,279 Speaker 1: working for an incredible producer, Effie Brown. But let's go 776 00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,239 Speaker 1: back to that mail room experience because a lot of 777 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: people don't realize that that is how you break into 778 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,799 Speaker 1: the big agency world is the mail room. And uh 779 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: a lot often times the mail room doesn't come with pay, 780 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,439 Speaker 1: and your situation would and so a lot of people 781 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,959 Speaker 1: don't know that. You know, so you work in the middle. 782 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,799 Speaker 1: This did come with pay, was a lot of pay, right, 783 00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: So it feels like no pay, don't I'm just saying 784 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 1: it feels like no pay coming from you know, I was, 785 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: I had a decent salary and four oh one case 786 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:11,560 Speaker 1: like my dad was like, so we wait. And that's 787 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,719 Speaker 1: the funny part about this conversation that you're having with 788 00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,879 Speaker 1: your parents, Like when I when I told my mom 789 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,400 Speaker 1: and dad, you know, I go to your age and 790 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,279 Speaker 1: get a math degree, mind and sociology, and then I 791 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,680 Speaker 1: go work for IBM, and I tell them I'm equited 792 00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 1: to be a stand up comedian. So that's the extreme. Okay, 793 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,280 Speaker 1: that's what I told my parents, all right, and they went, okay, 794 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:33,440 Speaker 1: we love you, but humble. So you go from Oklahoma, Texas, 795 00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,920 Speaker 1: go to Harvard, right, I got this great job in 796 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: New York. Drive across the country and you're working in 797 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: the mayor room for way less money. Talk about that conversation, 798 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,080 Speaker 1: because that's where a lot of people don't understand that 799 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: you have to sacrifice and then also times you got 800 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,240 Speaker 1: to take a step back to take to take some steps. 801 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,800 Speaker 1: If that's a step back though, you know, when you 802 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,840 Speaker 1: when I hear people say that, because that's part of 803 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,920 Speaker 1: the process, because you said going out on faith. When 804 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 1: you're going out on faith, that means that there's a 805 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,640 Speaker 1: plan in process, and you know, like you know, and 806 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,720 Speaker 1: I know. If you want to get in the big agency, 807 00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,279 Speaker 1: you gotta get in that mail room. And when you're 808 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 1: able mayor room, you have to be humble on top 809 00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,240 Speaker 1: of your job. You keep walking around that with no attitude. 810 00:42:11,280 --> 00:42:12,960 Speaker 1: You get to see all the top game You get 811 00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: to see stars come through those doors. You can mega 812 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,920 Speaker 1: producers and directors that you read about in the entertainment magazines. 813 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,879 Speaker 1: So you can't be oh my god, and so you 814 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: have to be professional all the time. So when I 815 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,279 Speaker 1: don't really see as a step backwards when I hear 816 00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:30,720 Speaker 1: people say that, because you said it from the beginning, Rocha, 817 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,959 Speaker 1: I went on faith, Faith is a plan. I would 818 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 1: tell people you have to have a plan when you 819 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,080 Speaker 1: do something on faith. I'm sorry. And then, but what 820 00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:41,239 Speaker 1: did your parents say when they told you you told 821 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:42,720 Speaker 1: him he was in the mail room. That's the funny, 822 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,120 Speaker 1: but that's the part of the conversations I want to 823 00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:49,120 Speaker 1: hear a little. My dad was like, wait a minute, 824 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:53,279 Speaker 1: so you're telling me that you went to Harvard and 825 00:42:53,320 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 1: now you're basically a goper like and I was like, okay, Dad, 826 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: I want you to read this book the mail room. 827 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 1: Like he was trying he was just you know, he 828 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:12,200 Speaker 1: was trying to work. He's like, I don't understand, but 829 00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:14,839 Speaker 1: like they were super supportive. I was like, listen, I'm 830 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 1: given myself two years to figure this out. UM. And 831 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,640 Speaker 1: I you know, I worked there was a company that 832 00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,600 Speaker 1: I had studied for, the GMT with that thankfully allowed 833 00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: me to start working for them. And so I while 834 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 1: I was working for you know, all my jobs working 835 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: for different people as an assistant, I was also tutoring 836 00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 1: for the GMAT on the side. He would have different 837 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,520 Speaker 1: clients and teaching classes virtually, so that supplemented my income. Also, 838 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: you know, writing coverage scripts to add add money. So 839 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 1: you just do what you gotta do. And then, UM, 840 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 1: you know, my path was always working for other people 841 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: while also making content on my own with different writers 842 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,479 Speaker 1: and directors in my network, UM and building that way. 843 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: And so you know, most of the times I would 844 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: work with people who were very supportive of that. Sometimes 845 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,080 Speaker 1: that conflicted and you had to kind of I had 846 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: to kind of navigate that. UM. But as my career 847 00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 1: went on, you know, it all merged and so you know, 848 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:18,240 Speaker 1: my jobs at UM, Like when I got to working 849 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 1: at Macro, UM, that was my job was to make 850 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 1: content and I always told Charles it was.

Her mangle was to show black women 990 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 1: and you know, young black people as themselves, you know, loving, 991 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:21,240 Speaker 1: loving each other, striving together, striving for their aspirations and 992 00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:25,120 Speaker 1: um and showing that in a real way where you 993 00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 1: you you fail, you make mistakes. So UM, I think 994 00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:35,400 Speaker 1: the empowerment comes from just being able to see yourself 995 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:40,920 Speaker 1: as a real, whole human. Um. You know, I don't 996 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 1: necessarily go into projects saying, Okay, how can I show 997 00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 1: the most positive UM portrayal of a character. I really 998 00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:56,239 Speaker 1: go into them thinking, you know, is this authentic? Is 999 00:52:56,320 --> 00:53:01,080 Speaker 1: this interesting? Um? Are they're compelling stays for this character? 1000 00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: And you know whether there's uh comedic ask tone to 1001 00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:10,080 Speaker 1: it or a more serious and dramatic tone to it. Um. 1002 00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:16,879 Speaker 1: I just wanted to feel um, real and thoughtful. Well. 1003 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 1: You know the thing this movie touched me in a 1004 00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:24,200 Speaker 1: lot of ways emotionally because of the fact that Suzanne Douglas.
