00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to the Carol Markowitz Show on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 1: I mentioned in the last episode that I went to

3
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: Asia this summer. It was my first time, I mean

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,240
Speaker 1: really going to Asia. I've been to Israel, I've into Turkey,

5
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: but I think people know what I mean when I

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: say that. We landed in Bangkok and ate our way

7
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: through the busy, noisy, crowded city. The food was just outstanding.

8
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: The street food you always hear about was better than

9
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 1: you could imagine. The next stop was Hanoi, another carnival

10
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: of crowds and food, really chaotic city. And the last

11
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 1: stop was Singapore, which I thoroughly enjoyed. We have a

12
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: family member who lives there and who we hope will

13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: come back to the US sooner rather than later. But

14
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: after this trip, we totally understood why he hasn't. Singapore

15
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 1: is a beautiful city, old parts and new parts, clean, orderly,

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: super safe, with just amazing restaurants all around, amazing food.

17
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: When you're there, you definitely get to thinking why aren't

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,960
Speaker 1: our cities more like this? And of course they have

19
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: less freedom than we do. You can't really speak out

20
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: against the government. Porn is illegal, pod is illegal. A

21
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: lot of things are regulated there that aren't here, but

22
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: that doesn't really explain the cleanliness or the orderliness of

23
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: the city. And the thing I kept coming back to

24
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: is we have all the same laws about that kind

25
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 1: of stuff that they do. Littering is illegal in most

26
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: probably all US cities, Sleeping on the street is illegal,

27
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: theft is illegal, eating on public transportation is illegal in

28
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: lots of places, including New York. But these things are

29
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: rarely to never punish in the US. It's not that

30
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: Singapore has more laws about the kind of things that

31
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: make society function, it's that they enforce the laws that

32
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: they have. In a lot of places in America, we've

33
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 1: come to associate disarray with freedom. We don't have more

34
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: freedom because society is in chaos, We probably have less.

35
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: I thought New York was particularly dysfunctional, so I moved

36
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: to Florida, and it's a far more normal, more functioning state,

37
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 1: in part because like Singapore, we can count on laws

38
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: being enforced in Florida. But I worry about the state

39
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: of mind. That whole thing about chaos being the price

40
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: that we pay for freedom. I worry about that perspective spreading.

41
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: It's hard to preserve an oasis of sanity. In Florida

42
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: and in other Red states, people worry that outsiders will

43
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: move in and vote for Democrats and Ruins, and they're

44
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: a good thing. It makes sense, but I fear the

45
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: problem isn't just political. Apathy creates the kind of disorder

46
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: I fear, and I feel that apathy spreading. I feel

47
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: it spreading through our culture, and I'm not sure what

48
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: to do about it. I'm going to spend some time

49
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: thinking about this, and I'd love to hear your thoughts

50
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: on it too. Also, thank you for the fiction book recommendations.

51
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: I really love hearing from you. Guys. Hit me up

52
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: on Twitter or My email is Carol Markowitz Show at

53
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: gmail dot com. Coming up next and interview with Adam Coleman.

54
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: Join us after the break. Welcome back to the Carol

55
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: Markowitz Show on iHeartRadio. My guest today is Adam Coleman,

56
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: founder of Wrong Speak Publishing and host of Breaking Bread. Hi, Adam,

57
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: how you doing so Last I saw you, I was

58
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: on Breaking Bread, which was a really good time. It's

59
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: funny because your concept is that we have lunch while

60
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: we chat, so like in the videos of it, I'm

61
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: like I'm chewing and trying to make you know, interesting

62
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: points at the same time. Do people find that to

63
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: be a challenge or just me?

64
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure other people at the very start have a

65
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 2: little bit of challenge. But I think the nature of

66
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 2: the conversation is so relaxed because I don't want people

67
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: to recognize the cameras, Like, don't look at the cameras.

68
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 3: They're not here.

69
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: We're just you go out with your friends, you're eating

70
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 2: and you're talking. It's the same type of vibe. So

71
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 2: I think in the beginning it's normal for people to

72
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: kind of be like, I don't want to smack too hard,

73
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: but then after a while they just like just go

74
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 2: with it.

75
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: I also, I chose Vietnamese food for our lunch, and

76
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: you know that involves using chopsticks. I mean, I just

77
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: I feel like I didn't think it through, like, you know,

78
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: in retrospect, I should have done like something that was like,

79
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: you know, one bite, not like, oh, I have this

80
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: noodle dish with like chicken, and like.

81
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 3: I eat noodles all time, but.

82
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: On camera while trying to have a conversation and while

83
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: trying to you know, look good.

84
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, because the whole thing is like when you go

85
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: out with your friends, you're not worried about like, oh

86
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: do I look this?

87
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 3: What?

88
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: Right?

89
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, Like it goes with being casual.

90
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 2: I think the people who watch it understand, like we're

91
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: eating like it's okay, you know. So I don't want

92
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 2: you to worry about it. I don't think the audience

93
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 2: worries about it.

94
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't really get people complaining.

95
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 2: If anything, it gives them something to look at, like

96
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: that looks good, you know, and they want to watch

97
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: or they want to or if they're in the audio version.

98
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: They're like what are they eating? Like I want to

99
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: see what it looks like. Then they might want to

100
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: actually look.

101
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, So what was the why did you start breaking bread?

102
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: What was your purpose with it?

103
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: That's a good question because for a long time, or

104
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: resisted doing any any video content. And I give credit

105
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: to Ed Lattimore for telling me, for like the fifth time,

106
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: you need to do video content. You know, there was

107
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: an opportunity. I was supposed to work with a different

108
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: company and they were looking for video content. They're open

109
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: to ideas, and so the idea kind of came to

110
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: me because it's something that I had been doing the

111
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: aspect of traveling to different countries or just traveling in general.

112
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 2: Sitting down with people and talking politics with something I

113
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 2: was doing for a number of years. I started traveling abroad,

114
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 2: especially in twenty sixteen, and every time I would travel,

115
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: I would sit down with people. Sometimes it would be

116
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 2: other Americans, but most of the time it'd be people

117
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 2: from various countries and we would sit and talk about

118
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: where we're from the politics. But a lot of people

119
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: are interested in American politics and do a lot, so

120
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 2: then we would have a discussion about American politics, but

121
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,159
Speaker 2: they can actually talk to an American to gain an

122
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: American perspective, and then wherever they're from, I would ask

123
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 2: them questions. So I remember one time I was in

124
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: a hostel with a guy from Sweden, a girl from Korea,

125
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: and I think a girl from China just asking each

126
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 2: other questions. I was like, you're here with an American,

127
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 2: you want to ask me any questions? And we just

128
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: had an open cannon conversation. So it was something that

129
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: I was used to doing, and especially like having a

130
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: meal and discussing these things. I remember one time I

131
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 2: had a conversation for about an hour or so with

132
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 2: a girl from Australia when I was in Barcelona, well

133
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: having taught us and it was one of the better

134
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: conversations that I had, So, you know, I just wanted

135
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: to kind of bring that to.

136
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: Video.

137
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: And from the very beginning, I didn't know anything about

138
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: creating videos. So over the past year it's been a

139
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 2: lot of learning, which has actually been something that I've

140
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: been very excited about, learning about cinematography or i should

141
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: say videography, how this works, how to improve the quality

142
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 2: of this and that. And it's been a lot of

143
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 2: money invested and a lot of mistakes and learning from

144
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: those mistakes and getting better at the craft excellent.

145
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: So what kind of questions do they ask you at

146
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: the hostel about being an American.

147
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: That's a good question because I'm trying to remember offhand.

148
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: Because I lived in Scotland for a few years during

149
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: college and I traveled around and the Europeans they would

150
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: ask such like, it's it's not like American cultures very

151
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: in their face. They're they're constantly, you know, getting our

152
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: culture mixed into their culture, but there's there's still kind

153
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: of one dimensional about what we actually are, Like they

154
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: think we are all these you know, you know the

155
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 1: picture of like what Europeans think Americans eat for breakfast

156
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: and it's like a giant stack of bacon with like

157
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: a gun like right next to it, and like it's

158
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: not totally wrong, but it's it's a little, you know,

159
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,839
Speaker 1: a little far fetched. But they would ask me things

160
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: like it was during the Clinton era, and they, you know,

161
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: they'd want to know, like why do Americans care so

162
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: much about a blowjob? And you know, I'd be like, well,

163
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: it's not really the blow job that they care that here,

164
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: but you know because especially in places like friends, they're like,

165
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: what like cheating on your spouse is like, you know,

166
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: something obviously all the politicians do. So what kind of

167
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: things did you get asked?

168
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: Well, in that particular conversation, I don't I remember asking

169
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 2: questions about China and censorship and their opinion on it,

170
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: and it was kind of an interesting answer that they

171
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 2: gave me. But I can't remember all the questions they

172
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: were asking me in that particular moment. But if I

173
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 2: was to summarized the different conversations that I have with people,

174
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: a lot of it was very it was all in

175
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: good faith. So I'll say that it was all in

176
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 2: good faith, and they were actually curious, and I was

177
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: showing that I'm open to whatever. There's no bad question

178
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: you can ask, right, I won't take any offense, and

179
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 2: so I think that opened them up to ask, like, well,

180
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 2: what about this?

181
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 3: What about that?

182
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: But what I found was that a lot of the stuff.

183
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 2: And mind you, at the time, I was a Democrat.

184
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: So now that I've I've left the Democrat bubble and

185
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: I've kind of just I look at everything as an independent,

186
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: I realize and I kind of realized while I was there,

187
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 2: much of the media is very much so left leaning

188
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 2: in Europe, and it is very much one narrative.

189
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 3: And I remember being.

190
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: In Germany and I saw like this spoof video I

191
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: might have recorded at the time, some spoof video of

192
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: like some of Donald Trump, like some like making an

193
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 2: ugly face, kind of weird looking thing on TV and

194
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: they were making fun of Donald Trump. And I thought like, like,

195
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: it's kind of like this everywhere, Like every narrative that

196
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 2: they would talk about is very much so from a

197
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: left wing perspective, and so their concept of what's going

198
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 2: on in America is very much so one sided. And

199
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 2: that's what I realized personally later on, is that the information.

200
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,080
Speaker 2: Even though I was very analytical about the information that

201
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 2: I had, I didn't have the entire source of information

202
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 2: to really give a fair assessment as to what was

203
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 2: going on. But yeah, I found that much of the

204
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,719
Speaker 2: stuff that they were hearing is basically stuff that you

205
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: would see on CNN or you would see CNN International,

206
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: and they're watching it from there. So it was very

207
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 2: much so one sided.

208
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, do you have like a particular beat that you

209
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: like to cover? Is there something that you like to

210
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 1: write about more than anything else.

211
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 2: I would say the most important thing I like writing

212
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: about is families, especially the impact of family separation. But

213
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 2: I also put like slash fatherhood, the importance of fatherhood

214
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: and how it impacted me growing up without my father,

215
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: but also being a father to my son who's now

216
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 2: eighteen and now he's in the stage of being an

217
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 2: adult and watching him flourish. So yeah, I would say

218
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 2: those things are far more important to me to talk

219
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 2: about because I think it's the greatest issue facing all

220
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 2: of Americans.

221
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 3: It's not just a black issue.

222
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: Well, so I was going to ask, what do you

223
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: think is our largest cultural problem? And I guess it

224
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: might be something related to this.

225
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, family separation. Family separation.

226
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 2: We are number one in the world when it comes

227
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: to children growing up in separate homes from their parents.

228
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 2: The United Kingdom is number two, nearly a quarter of children,

229
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 2: and so it's a much bigger issue than I think

230
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: people led on.

231
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 1: Nearly a quarter of children in America grow up living

232
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 1: separately from both parents or from one parent, or what.

233
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 3: Is it, separately from at least one.

234
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: Parent, at least one parent? Wow?

235
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, ok, yeah, So there's either a children who grow

236
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 2: up in single parent homes where they never live with

237
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: their it's usually they live with their mother, another father

238
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: where they never grow up with their father, or children

239
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: of the four, but somewhere in that spectrum. And then

240
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: if we were to go out even further, right, so

241
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: what's the impact of that. I've talked about how the

242
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 2: statistics are ridiculously crazy when it comes to children being

243
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 2: harmed growing up in an environment with an adult figure

244
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: who's not their biological parent. And it's not to say

245
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: that there aren't good stepfathers, good step mothers out there,

246
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 2: but if we were to look at what's the greatest

247
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 2: danger facing a child, one of those greatest dangers is

248
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 2: growing up in that environment because predators look for single

249
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:44,079
Speaker 2: mothers all the time. And I've had these conversations, especially

250
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: in another podcasts. One particular podcast, after I made this

251
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 2: very point, he admitted that was his childhood. You know,

252
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 2: he was molested by his stepfather for years. So I mean,

253
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 2: this really exists, but we just don't. We don't like

254
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: to talk about it. And I think there are many

255
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 2: reasons as to why.

256
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 1: So do you think it's something that's solvable. Do you

257
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: think we can make any progress on this or is

258
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: it sort of only going to get worse. I'm pretty

259
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: pessimistic on stuff like this. I don't know how we

260
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: turn it around.

261
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 3: I think we can turn I'm one of those people.

262
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 2: I have a model that I tell my friends just

263
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: let it fail, because sometimes you have to fail in

264
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: order to find success. You know, my life, there's so

265
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 2: many areas where I failed, but I found success later

266
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: on because of those phase and I learned from those lessons.

267
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: And even for me raising my son, I learned from

268
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: my father's failure to be involved in my son's life

269
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: right and not to be like my father. Now, did

270
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 2: I need that to be a good father? Maybe I didn't,

271
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: but I still use that as a source. And I

272
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: think there are a lot of children who are becoming

273
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: let's say the gen Z crowd, who are becoming adults,

274
00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 2: and they have the Internet, and they have all this

275
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: information at their fingers tips, and they're asking questions and

276
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 2: good questions about the world around them. But their parents

277
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 2: taught them. What their parents are leaving them. Are they

278
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 2: set up for the future? Does this work? And I

279
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: think some of them are asking the right questions as

280
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 2: far as I get it, Like I didn't grow up

281
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: in this environment, but was this the best environment for

282
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: me to grow up in?

283
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: In how I was raised? And I think it's good

284
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 3: to ask these particular questions. So I am.

285
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: I am relatively optimistic that we will make a turn

286
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 2: for the better.

287
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: Is that going to look like more people getting married

288
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: or how like? How do we how does that turn happen?

289
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: What is the what's the picture you have of a

290
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: positive change in this way where more kids, you know,

291
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: don't live separately from a parent.

292
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 2: Part of it is, like I was saying, I think

293
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 2: part of it is the internet. We have we have

294
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: more voices talking about family separation, So that's one I'll

295
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: throw my voice out there. I'm talking about family separation,

296
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: the impact on children. We have more reflection that is happening.

297
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: We have people who not only just take selfies, but

298
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 2: they're making videos talking about their emotional state and how

299
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: they are affected by whatever happened in their life, including

300
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: their childhood and what they experienced. The fact that I

301
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 2: was on a podcast and a guy was willing and

302
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 2: open enough to share how he was molested and how

303
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 2: it affected his life, and it just takes one person

304
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: to hear that and you're like, you know what, maybe

305
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: I should change how he's doing, or maybe when I

306
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: do go to have children, maybe this would be very important.

307
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: I think part of the culture war that's happening, especially

308
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 2: the battle between the sexes, has a lot to do

309
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 2: with frustration with wanting to create that, and I think

310
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 2: from the male perspective, I think there are a lot

311
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: of men who feel like it is harder to create

312
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 2: that scenario where they are married, where they are in

313
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 2: that situation where they can raise their child ldren like

314
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: they're fearful of it. Some of that fear is legitimate,

315
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 2: some illegitimate, some of its propaganda, but I think it

316
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 2: some of that comes from a good place where they

317
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 2: want to have these things. The young men want to

318
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 2: get married, they want to have a wife, they want

319
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 2: to rise children in that household, especially because I think

320
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,120
Speaker 2: many of these men who liked this content didn't grow

321
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 2: up in that particular environment, so they see the bad

322
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: of it, and I think that is something that's good

323
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: because they're recognizing there's a problem, and so you can't

324
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 2: change what you don't acknowledge, and by them acknowledge that

325
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 2: there's a problem, they're more willing to try to seek

326
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: out a solution.

327
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: Interesting, we're going to take a quick break and be

328
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: right back on the Carol Marcowitch Show. You've written how

329
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 1: many books?

330
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 3: Just one so fast? One?

331
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: I thought it was two.

332
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: The second edition. That's okay.

333
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: To tell us a little bit about your book.

334
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, Black Victim of Black Victor. I started writing it

335
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty. I think it was like a few

336
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: months after George Floyd. I wrote it because I wanted

337
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 2: to express myself. I thought there were narratives that are

338
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 2: out there. Some I agreed with, some I disagreed with.

339
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: Mostly I disagreed with. But even the narratives that I

340
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 2: agreed with, I didn't like how it was stated and

341
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: it didn't sound like my voice. And you know, I

342
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 2: had an idea about writing a book a year prior,

343
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: but I had no idea what I wanted to write about.

344
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 2: And I actually got encouragement from free speech forums like

345
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: you should write more often because of how I was

346
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: explaining how I felt. And so I was like, maybe

347
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,679
Speaker 2: this is the idea, Maybe this is it, and I

348
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 2: started writing it.

349
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 3: It took me about I.

350
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 2: Think eight to nine months, and I self published it

351
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 2: and had no idea if anybody would like it or

352
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 2: care to read it or anything. But I wanted to

353
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 2: give it a try. But my main goal was two

354
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 2: main goals. I wanted to express myself into. I wanted

355
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 2: to leave something behind for my son to be proud of,

356
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 2: and you know, with God's blessing, like all these you know,

357
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,640
Speaker 2: I'm sitting here talking to you. You know, all these

358
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 2: different things have happened that I didn't come close to

359
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: ever seeing. And I like to joke about when I

360
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: was writing my book, one friend told me that, like,

361
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: you should send an article to the New York Posts.

362
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, they would never publish my stuff.

363
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: Now you're right there. All the time.

364
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 3: It's exactly yeah, So you never know.

365
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,360
Speaker 1: You never know. Do you feel like you've made it?

366
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is.

367
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: All I know is that if I can be a

368
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: little bit deep. A couple of years prior to writing

369
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 2: the book, I was on it. I specifically wanted to

370
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: think about that. I was on a train in Germany

371
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 2: and i was by myself and my headphones on, and

372
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking. I wanted to think about what is

373
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 2: my purpose in life? And there was one way they

374
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 2: came to mind was to serve. Everything I've done is

375
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 2: in my life, and the most important thing and the

376
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: thing I really enjoyed was serving helping people. All of

377
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: my jobs were customer service related. You know, my background's

378
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 2: in it, but it's dealing with technical issues in person.

379
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: Let me help you fix that over the phone support,

380
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 2: let me help.

381
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:35,120
Speaker 3: You fix that.

382
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 2: And I love helping people, and I'm like, I am

383
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: built to serve. I'm built to be here to help people.

384
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,640
Speaker 2: You know, when my friendships with people, I go out

385
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 2: of my way to help people because I feel like

386
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 2: that is my purpose. My purpose is here to serve

387
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 2: in any capacity that I'm doing anything in and so

388
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: for me, I don't know if I I've made it

389
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: because I feel like it's a never ending journey of serving,

390
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 2: and now, especially with me being baptized, I fully fully

391
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 2: understand who I'm.

392
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 3: Here to serve for.

393
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: I'm here to serve for the Lord. I'm here to

394
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: help mankind as much as I can. It's why I

395
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 2: don't engage in negative things. I try to stay, stay

396
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 2: really really hard away from all the negativity that can

397
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: come to politics, and talk about the issue, talk about

398
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 2: it from a realistic standpoint, be critical when you see

399
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 2: evil things, we see bad ideas by trying not to

400
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,239
Speaker 2: go after people unless they're people in power, which they

401
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: deserve it. But I am here to serve the public

402
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 2: and any capacity, even on a very personal level. You know,

403
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 2: I just had a conversation with a follower of mine

404
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 2: who wanted to know about becoming a Christian and was

405
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 2: having trouble coming to faith. I gave them my numbers

406
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 2: to call me, and I only say this. It's not

407
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 2: to brag, but it's to show that I really do care.

408
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 2: I want people not only to come to Christ, but

409
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 2: I want to help people in any way possible and

410
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: be a good representation as a Christian especially it's beautiful.

411
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: And you just recently got baptized, right, yeah, Saturday. Wow,

412
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: So that's really amazing. You know, I think that the

413
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: work that you're doing, it comes across that you really

414
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: want to help people. I don't. I think that that's

415
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: very obvious in your writing and listening to you talk

416
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: about services. It's very much in line with who I

417
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: think you are. So end here with your best tip

418
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: for my listeners on how they can improve their lives.

419
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 2: Oh, best to improve your life is to take responsibility,

420
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 2: be accountable for all of your all of life's outcomes.

421
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 2: I use the example of if you give from a job,

422
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 2: it's very easy to blame your boss. My boss didn't

423
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 2: like me, the company was bad. But if you're accountable,

424
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: you're part of this relationship. You're part of the reason

425
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 2: you're getting fired. So why did you get fired? Take

426
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 2: accountability for that portion, not everything, but that portion, and

427
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 2: use that and find a way to improve yourself. And

428
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: so that's why I think that failure isn't always a failure.

429
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 2: Like failure, it can be the greatest lesson that you

430
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 2: learned in life. Failure could be something that you really

431
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 2: appreciate about life. Moving forward, you know, I've been homeless

432
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: as a child twice, and I was homeless or when

433
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 2: I was around twenty one for a few months, and

434
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: I don't think of it at least anymore. I don't

435
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: think of it as a woe as me think. I'm

436
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 2: really thankful I went through that because it showed me

437
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 2: if I could go through that, I can go through

438
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: all this other stuff. It showed me the kindness of

439
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: human beings because while I didn't have a place to go,

440
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 2: the people I was working with on their own put

441
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 2: me in a hotel room for months till I had

442
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 2: enough money to get my own place. They didn't have

443
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 2: to and I didn't ask them, and the kindness of

444
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 2: their heart, they wanted that and they didn't ask for

445
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: any money afterwards. You So, I am thankful for all

446
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 2: these people that I encountered, which by the way, these

447
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: are people of different racial backgrounds, where there's just regular people.

448
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: And they didn't even know me. I had just moved

449
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: to Tennessee and they didn't know who I was, but

450
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 2: they knew about my situation. They didn't want to see

451
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 2: their coworker sleeping in their car. And I think about

452
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,359
Speaker 2: all these things as a point of pride and an

453
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,959
Speaker 2: appreciation for humanity, the goodness that exists in humanity, and

454
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: I think far too often we're so hyper focused on

455
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 2: the negative. There's so many good people who are out

456
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 2: here who do things at the kindness of their heart.

457
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 2: They don't want anything. They just want to make sure

458
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: that you're good, because if they were in that situation,

459
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 2: they would want that too. So Yeah, to summarize, be

460
00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 2: accountable for your life, because that's how you act, actually

461
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 2: change your life. Victimhood will never get you anywhere.

462
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: I love it. People are so good and I think,

463
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: you know, encouraging people to be to want to be

464
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: those good people. It is such a good thing. Thank
