Speaker 2: I don't like to say anyone is a special guest,

27
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,600

Speaker 2: So we have another powerful guest coming on today. This

29
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: brother I met once I became on the legal side

30
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: of cannabis, and he's the founder, one of the founding

31
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: fathers of the legal side of cannabis. I'll let you

32
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: give history, but what I know about him is black

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: man out of la relocated to Oakland and open the

34
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:40,000

45
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: But I consider this man my brother in real life

46
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: and in cannabis. He's paved away for a lot of us.

00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 2: And this brother don't really interview a lot. I've been

50
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: trying to get him out of his interview shelles. So

00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 4: The industry.

Speaker 3: Matriculate into the commercial paradigm and where we are right now.

60
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: I like that. I like that he's being modest. You guys,

61
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: listen again, this is the longest or fourth longest running

62
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: cannabis business, I believe, anywhere, if my stats are correct,

63
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 2: and again, the first of this variety to own anywhere

64
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: in the world anywhere. Okay, salute to you. And what

65
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: you've done. One of the thought leaders of the Social

66
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: Equity Program, who I got my dispensary through, is thought

67
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: of by this person, through this man we're talking to.

68
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: So he's being humble, he's being modest. But Keith is

69
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: the man, you know what I mean, and like to

70
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: be able to have him talk about anything, of any experiences,

71
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: of just of any value is key. And God's definitely

72
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: should listen to what I knew about your history coming up.

73
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 2: Just like with me, you worked, but you also sold

74
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: treat Yeah, I see what I'm saying. You knew how

75
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: to navigate in both spaces, and I remember you also.

76
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: Telling you.

77
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: Ikne you how to do it dribble. So when you realized,

78
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: like I realized early on, it was easier for us

79
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: to do, you know, work and do what we do,

80
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: where did that you know? When did you like realize, Hey,

81
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: this is all I want to do. I want to

82
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: sell weed, I'm a part of it, whatever whatever, and

83
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: was able to work and do what you do. When

84
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 2: did you realize you could make those two go together?

85
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 2: How did that look for you?

86
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 4: Well?

87
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 3: Prior to moving to the Bay Area when I lived

88
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 3: in prior to moving to Oakland. When I lived in

89
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 3: LA I had always been intimately involved with cannabis from

90
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: early teen years and I was always the tree man,

91
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 3: and naturally, when I moved to Oakland, I still had

92
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 3: an affinity for trees. I met some cats from East

93
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 3: Oakland and they were cultivating, you know, they were trying

94
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 3: to figure it out, and I was like, oh, yeah,

95
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 3: I like this. And from there I started doing my

96
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 3: own thing, and I worked at the Patient I D Center, Yeah,

97
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 3: which was formerly at the time it was called the

98
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: Oakland Cannabis Buyers Club. And this was in the.

99
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 4: Mid to early nineties when the DA and.

100
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: The Justice Department was really trying to shut this industry down. However,

101
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: I had a job as an airframe maintenance technician or

102
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 3: aviation maintenance technician for one of the top three airlines.

103
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 3: And here I am a moon lighting inside of.

104
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 4: This dispensary with all the risk.

105
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 3: And you know, I just I said, man, this is

106
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 3: this is where I really want to be. So I

107
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: put in time there, and you know, it took me

108
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: ten years because I started there in ninety six and

109
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 3: Purple Heart was founded in two thousand and six. However,

110
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 3: in between the times of founding the retail store I

111
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 3: was cultivating and we're in a warehouse in East Oacar.

112
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: That's dope. That's dope. Like a lot of people don't

113
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: realize you grew, you had the experience on the business

114
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 2: side then you open. I was just talking about my

115
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: live earlier. Just the process of being willing to work

116
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: and a lot of people not being willing to work

117
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 2: at their craft. Which you just told me is that

118
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: you were willing to work at your craft. You knew

119
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: what you wanted to do, you put into work to

120
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: do it, and then became the first to do what

121
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: you're doing. Like, like, can you talk to us about

122
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: how that feels and what that feels like being the

123
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 2: first to do something in a space and if that

124
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: was a weight at all on you, just you know,

125
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: speak on that if you could.

126
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, at the time, you know, I was able

127
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 3: to volunteer to do legislative work, you know, get things

128
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 3: on the ballot, work with the guys in Oakland, Jeff Jones,

129
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 3: Richard Lee, Stacey Traylor, Jim McClinton, just that early foundational

130
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: Oakland Cannabis group, and.

131
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 2: This is the prop two fifteen days early on. Is

132
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: this what we're talking about Yeah, yeah, just give y'all context.

133
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: Just give y'all context. And then most of the people

134
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 2: he's mentioning if y'all know anything about Oakstra Damory thing

135
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 2: about that, these are the people that was a part

136
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: of that too. So go ahead, keep it a minute

137
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: to cut you off. Just give me the context.

138
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: It's perfect perfectly okay.

139
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: So from there I started doing like you know, some

140
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: may consider grunt work, but you know, with me, I

141
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 3: was learning. I was networking, and I volunteered to be

142
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: to support a phone bank and we were making cold calls.

143
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 3: And one of the guys in Oakland, CAD named Joe

144
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 3: Devrees I think he's assistant city administrator. He works in

145
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 3: the city administration office, heard me speaking.

146
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 4: And you know, he was like, hey, you know you're

147
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: you know, you speak really really well.

148
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: And he told me there'd be some opportunities and that

149
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: the city wanted to have an operator. You know that

150
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: we're a little bit more diversity. So when it comes

151
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: to when it comes to diversity in cannabis, let's give

152
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 3: Joe Devrees as roses.

153
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, yes, Joe put me in position.

154
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

155
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 3: So when I was able to get in a position,

156
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: you know I was, I was brinded with cats. But

157
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 3: it was like for me to have the resources to

158
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 3: open Purple Heart, you know, I had to refinance the house,

159
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 3: take some money out of it, take all my savings

160
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 3: and push it. Push all my chips to the center

161
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 3: of the table. And at the time I was a

162
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: home I had a home with a big basement, so

163
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: I had a big indoor cultivation. So I was able

164
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 3: to start off with seventy five pounds that I grew

165
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: because none of the cats that I was working with

166
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 3: wanted to support me, you know, so right, it's kind

167
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: of crazy, like you know, some of them, you know,

168
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 3: I'd even wanted to be partners with, but you know,

169
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: it did it didn't work out like that. So the

170
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 3: heavy lift was to get Purple Heart fully operational license, just.

171
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 4: Have the have the capital to make it happen. And lastly,

172
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 4: it was a.

173
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 3: It was I had to have an understanding that you're

174
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 3: the first black person to operate a legally licensed cannabis business,

175
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: and if you do what you should do, it'll work out. However,

176
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 3: if you do anything that you shouldn't be doing, it's

177
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,559
Speaker 3: gonna it could possibly packed many operators after.

178
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 4: Purple heart.

179
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: So I was very keen to show up, you know, drash,

180
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 3: professional wearsuits, code switching language, you know, speak with.

181
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 4: Intent, and to really bring others into the industry.

182
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: Super dope. And again, like I said, I don't think

183
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: you get enough credit for that. I just even just

184
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 2: when I met you, even because mister fab was the

185
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 2: first person that told me about.

186
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 4: To shout out to faby day shoutous Stanley.

187
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: He was the first person told me about there being

188
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: a black owner in Oakland. When I got into the game,

189
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 2: I was selling we the ninety six. But I went

190
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: to my first expensiary in ninety nine thanks to my grandma,

191
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: and once I got in there, I noticed I didn't

192
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 2: see nobody looked like me unless they were security or

193
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 2: the highest that get up is maybe a GM, you

194
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, But no ownership. All the owners

195
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 2: were I do not when he was the wrong word.

196
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 4: But they didn't look like us.

197
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: They looked like us. Okay, they didn't look like us.

198
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: So to have that happen and then HEIM tell me like,

Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, so I got a meat bro

202
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,079

00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: projects in terms of launching brands. But you know, not

230
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 3: really well to the viewers out there, they might not know,

231
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: but Purple Heart sustained a burglary back in twenty twenty

232
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: May of twenty twenty, we sustained to burglaries.

233
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 4: And we've been communicating within shurance company that would be

234
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:02,839
Speaker 4: the best way.

235
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: And man, you know that's a process, y'all. Y'all hear

236
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 2: me talking about it all the time, and y'all already said.

237
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty is when George Floyd was murdered and for

238
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 2: whatever reason, people started louding everything our story called.

239
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 4: I wouldn't call it looting. I would say it was burglaries.

240
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 2: I'll take that.

241
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 3: I don't know that these uh individuals who chose to

242
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: burglarize my business and other businesses were others were actually

243
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 3: part of the George Floyd protest. I think different things

244
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 3: that gets convoluted.

245
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: I agree and for the sake of.

246
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 3: The insurance claim my file it was a burglary ridden

247
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 3: by the old com Police department.

248
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: I agree, it definitely was, and these were armed burglars.

249
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 2: These have nothing to do with George Floyd being murdered.

250
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 2: Why do you have a gun? And it was a

251
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 2: lot so going through that into where you are now,

252
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 2: you came into the space. I'm sure with high hopes

253
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: our dreams. You had a good run. Still to me,

254
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 2: are still having a great run even though doing what

255
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: you're dealing with. But I think another value if you

256
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: was going to be these speaking engagements and talking to

257
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 2: people and sharing with you know, the things and the

258
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,959
Speaker 2: bumps in the roads you went through because there's a

259
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 2: bag and that just keep it honest. But with you

260
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: going through the highs, going through the lows, what would

261
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: you say keeps you going daily? Knowing what we know

262
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: about the space And you know, na, I know what

263
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 2: your answer gonna be, But I just you know what

264
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 2: I'm saying. What keeps you going? Knowing what all we're

265
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: going through on this legal cannabis side.

266
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 3: I said, I would say, I love this shit, like

267
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: you have to love something to do it and go

268
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 3: through a period of not making money Like I didn't.

269
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 4: I didn't fall into cannabis. It's just something that was always.

270
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 3: Around me and it reached the time in my life

271
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 3: wherever where it became uh commercial. And I would say

272
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 3: that even when I was in and in high school,

273
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: in my graduation, I was I was the guy. I

274
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 3: had twenty sacks at my graduation and cap and gown.

275
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 3: I was still engaging in sales. Yes, I used to

276
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 3: drive me and my brother would drive up to northern

277
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: California because we have family here. We've been coming here

278
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: since we were knee high to an ad and we

279
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: would come up here by a cannabis because this was

280
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: like Oaka has always been ground zero and Oakland has

281
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 3: the has the cannabis culture. The cannabis was growing up

282
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 3: in the hills and LA was the market.

283
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 4: So you know, it was just it was it was.

284
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 4: It was quite quite.

285
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: Unique man neque to say the least. So something else

286
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 2: that a lot of people. And I'm glad I had

287
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: these platforms. We would talk about about. I say it

288
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: all the time. When I was growing up, I always

289
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 2: wanted to see celebrity get on the Grammys, get on

290
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,200

Speaker 2: thank God. I always wanted to hear somebody say thank yeahweh.

292
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 2: People that are listening to be like, what do you

298
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: about it. We hear everybody say Jesus, Lord God. You

299
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 2: rarely come across people that use yahweh. So when you

00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 2: this is how stuff links and how stuff works. Cannabis

314
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 2: is a linking plant. It's me and his brother was

315
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 2: linked to cannabis, but was also linked with spirituality. What's

316
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 2: your take on that, big brother.

317
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 4: Oh.

318
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 3: The beauty of having foundational spirituality is it allows me

319
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 3: to build on any belief that I wish, and it

320
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: allows me to get to the essence of what it is.

321
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 2: You know.

322
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 3: I had a friend rest in peace, my guy Renna Israel,

323
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 3: and Rental asked me, and Renna asked me in nineteen ninety, what's.

324
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 4: The name of God? I said, Jesus. He said, look

325
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 4: up the letter Jay.

326
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 3: I looked up the letter jay, and it said that

327
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 3: the letter J was at the time not even eight hundred.

328
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 2: Years old, pronounceable of nothing facts.

329
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it came from a German mens print that

330
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 3: was printed in the text. So that's why I precedes J.

331
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 4: Yeah. I was just from there. It just send me

332
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 4: down a rabbit hole. And when I got to.

333
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 3: Understand things and study things and put Yahweh at the

334
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 3: foundation of everything that I do, it gave me a

335
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 3: really great comfort, and you know, I'm just you know,

336
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 3: my my, my, My prayer.

337
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 4: Has allowed me to just move through life at peace effortlessly.

338
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 2: Yes, sir.

339
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 3: And with that being said, it's just, you know, it

340
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: was It's just been a foundational name. And I've even

341
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: introduced the name to my grandkids.

342
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: Yes, hallelujah, you got hallelujah. I mean, people don't realize

343
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 2: that the Bible, you know, we believe in or whatever,

344
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 2: but it's it tells you a lot of stuff like

345
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 2: flat out, it tells you I'm gonna come in my

346
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: name and you received me. Not let another come in's

347
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: own name and you will received. It tells you that correct,

348
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So it just it was

349
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 2: dope to find that common ground as well with us

350
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 2: because it was just like damn, like nah, you gotta

351
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: be kidney, and you're like, nah, you gotta be kidney,

352
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 2: and it's just like damn. So yeah, I had to

353
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 2: have to definitely touch on that because it's something that

354
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't talk about, and I felt

355
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 2: like it's something that should be highlighted because on top

356
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: of all the stuff we do, the business, the legal,

357
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: the illegal, days everything. We have a spiritual grounding, something

358
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 2: that's leading us, whatever you call them, whatever that choose

359
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 2: to be and mean. This brother just so happened to

367
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 2: first thing I said. Soon as they as soon as

368
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,440
