1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

5
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

10
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

14
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

15
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: border and families will be protected.

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

17
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the book.

18
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 4: The book.

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 3: So you published a book What Mommy Never Told You? So?

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 3: What's the meaning behind that title and what's inside the book? Yeah?

21
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 4: So this book took twelve years to write, I wrote.

22
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 5: I finished it maybe three and a half years ago,

23
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 5: but it took twelve years to write because I, for

24
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 5: a very long time felt like my story hadn't arct

25
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 5: so I didn't have that moment where it was like, oh,

26
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 5: things got tough, and then she wrote off in the sunset,

27
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 5: here's a book to talk about it, right, And so

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 5: I thought that's what I needed in order to create

29
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 5: this body of work. But what I realized is people

30
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 5: have constantly sat down to have this conversation that we're

31
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 5: having right now, like what did you How did you

32
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 5: go from East New York Brooklyn to working and doing

33
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 5: some of the things that you've done and worked in

34
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 5: And I was constantly telling the story and I said,

35
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 5: you know what, I need to put pen to paper

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 5: and manuscript my journey. But one of the things that

37
00:01:57,880 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 5: came out of it, and why I titled it the

38
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 5: way that I did, is I realized that I'm first

39
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 5: generation for so many things in my life. I was

40
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 5: the first to graduate from college in my family. I

41
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 5: was the first to go to Europe in my family.

42
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 5: I was the first to buy a home in my family.

43
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 5: And what I was realizing is there's some things that

44
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 5: my parents just they cannot teach me. You know, as

45
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 5: a woman of color, I'm coming from a space of

46
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 5: I won't say lack, but I had I had a

47
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 5: late start, just coming from East New York and where

48
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 5: I've come from, we weren't and we didn't inherit the

49
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 5: knowledge that some of our contemporaries and counterparts perhaps are

50
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 5: getting from their families and their grandfathers and their you know,

51
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 5: those those sorts of experiences. And while my mother did

52
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 5: teach me a ton, there were just a lot of

53
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 5: lessons that I had to learn on my own. And

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 5: this book takes you through the manuscript of my life

55
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 5: and the lessons that I learned along the way. So

56
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 5: each chapter has at the end the Pittman's Rules, and

57
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 5: they're like the ten to twenty things that I've learned

58
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 5: about that specific topic, and it's everything from career and finance,

59
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 5: to relationships, to self motivation.

60
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 3: To like one of the thing, give us one example

61
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: of what's in the book that you've learned.

62
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 6: Well, I have something that your mother never told you.

63
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: Some of the things that my mother never told me.

64
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 5: I mean, there are tons of examples, but really understanding

65
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 5: that you know, as a woman, it's important to have

66
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 5: male mentorship as much as it is to have female mentorship.

67
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 5: I always I was raised by really strong women and

68
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 5: I have a huge girl network. But when I moved

69
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 5: into my career, most of my mentors have been men.

70
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 5: So people like Keith Kling Scales, as I mentioned, Steve

71
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 5: Stout early on in my career, was an amazing mentor

72
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 5: that genuinely just wanted to pour into my professional talent,

73
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 5: help me grow as a professional. Sean Combe's amazing mentor,

74
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 5: you know, and not being unafraid to develop professional relationships

75
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 5: with men is important for women as they continue to

76
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 5: move through business.

77
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: What's your advice for women navigating male dominated industry? Which

78
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: almost every industry is male dominated. There's difficulties that come

79
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: with is you have to think about certain things that

80
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: men don't have to think about. How to dress right,

81
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 3: they're important, how to carry yourself in certain environments. I

82
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 3: had this conversation with a female, like, somebody invites you

83
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: to dinner, it's awkward, right, It could be out to

84
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: drinks can be awkward. What you wear it could be awkward, flirting.

85
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 3: A variety of different things that you have to kind

86
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 3: of navigate through the workplace that there's really no set

87
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 3: template or blueprint for it. And like I said, men

88
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 3: don't have to worry about that, but women do. And

89
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 3: it's like you're probably just one woman or two women

90
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 3: and there's ten men. Right, So that's something that people

91
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 3: don't really consider, but it's an issue. I've seen it absolutely.

92
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 3: So what's your advice for that?

93
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 4: That is a great question.

94
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 5: There's a there's a nuance to the level set that

95
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 5: young women need to learn how to initiate very early on.

96
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 4: I think men do.

97
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 5: It sometimes when when men sort of outfit in the

98
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 5: room and you set your position in a room full

99
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 5: of men.

100
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 4: You guys know what I'm talking about.

101
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 5: You come into a room with ten dudes, You're going

102
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 5: to posture in a certain way so that your ranking

103
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,679
Speaker 5: is governed accordingly, according right.

104
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 4: Right, So the same thing. And I know this from

105
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: being trained by men.

106
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 5: Right. I was blessed to be trained by men throughout

107
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 5: my career. And so there's a way of being as

108
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 5: a woman to position yourself as a person of power,

109
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 5: a person of respect, no nonsense, but still approachable. And

110
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 5: that has worked for me up unto a point until

111
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 5: I got to a sort of apex point in my career.

112
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 5: Being very dominant in that way was powerful, but at

113
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 5: a certain point it worked against me and I had

114
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 5: to start seeking out female mentorship at the executive level

115
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 5: because I had to bring back the softness.

116
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 4: Because it was almost like I was competing with the men.

117
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, exterior was too rough.

118
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 5: It's too rough, and so I had to come into

119
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 5: this balance of oh no, no, no, you see me.

120
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 5: You see I'm grounded. You respect me. But this is

121
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 5: not an alpha contest.

122
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, see the alpha thing, don't. I don't agree with

123
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 3: the alpha thing. I've never I don't like to consider

124
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 3: myself an alpha male. I'm just a male.

125
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 4: Yeah.

126
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 3: So I think there's two ways that I've witnessed, like

127
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 3: people at the highest level conduct themselves. One in that

128
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: manner which is like very loud and kind of obnoxious.

129
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 3: But you know that this person is level of stature

130
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: because it's like a mob boss, right, like Johnny Gotty.

131
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 3: Like it's like when he walks in the room, like

132
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: everybody kind of like fears on more has some level

133
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 3: of respect for him. So they could be extremely loud

134
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,679
Speaker 3: or you could be extremely quiet. Yeah, like this guy Jay.

135
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 4: But he's still incredibly alpha.

136
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm just saying, but just his demeanor, yea,

137
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: even more of an introvert quiet. I see that a

138
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: lot with I see that actually more often, especially like

139
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 3: the higher higher like billionaires like them. They're usually very

140
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 3: secluded and nonchalant, garden quiet.

141
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 5: But let's make a distinction though, because that doesn't so

142
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 5: there's a few things around alpha. I literally mean in

143
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 5: the canine sense of alpha, right, So from an animalistic standpoint,

144
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 5: when a pack of dogs come together, there's a ranking

145
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 5: order that naturally happens, right, So I didn't mean it

146
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 5: in the.

147
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: Alpha I mean, And it's like.

148
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 5: But then also, alphas are usually not loud in real life.

149
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 3: But I think that term alpha is just confusing because

150
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 3: it's like I think, like, if that's really like I

151
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: love Dan, he's actually a personal friend of mine, that's

152
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 3: his personality, but his way of being I think people

153
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: try to emulate that, like you know what I mean,

154
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 3: like and they try to like be loud and stern

155
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: and da da da. And I don't necessarily think that's

156
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: a that's the most beneficial way to communicate with people, absolutely,

157
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 3: but I see a lot of people that they think

158
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 3: that that way of acting on that way of communicating,

159
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,599
Speaker 3: asserts themselves as the alpha and asserts themselves as the head.

160
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 3: But I think that that's not so. I don't know.

161
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 3: I just feel like the term.

162
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 4: Alpha loudness does not equal power.

163
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 3: So what does alpha equate.

164
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 4: To alpha is?

165
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 5: It's an anchoring, it's a it's a knowing, it's an

166
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 5: assuredness in your power to affect a situation.

167
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 4: That's what alpha is. It's not necessarily how loud you are.

168
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 5: It's our ability to influence at the highest level and

169
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 5: make the decision that people are going to adhere to.

170
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 4: And you don't have to do that with words.

171
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot of nonverbal communication.

172
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 5: Tons of nonverbal communication. Like I just as a woman, like,

173
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 5: I'm not looking at the loudest guy in the room.

174
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 5: I want I want to see the guy that's like,

175
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 5: you know, laid back and calm and poised and hasn't

176
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 5: put together and he's the one, not this one over here, Joe.

225
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 6: You brought up the word apex of your career, height

226
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 6: of your career. When I hear you speak, I can

227
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 6: feel your energy. I feel like you're still in it.

228
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 6: So I'm questioning, how are you seeing where you're at presently?

229
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 6: Are you where you want to be? There's some more

230
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 6: things that you need to check out because I feel

231
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 6: like the apex hasn't hit yet.

232
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 5: I agree it hasn't, but I am ascending, right, and

233
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 5: so I like to believe you know, you hit that

234
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 5: that peak, and you try to ride that peak as

235
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 5: long as you can and maybe in my plateau a

236
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 5: little bit, and then you hope to hit another peak.

237
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 4: So that's how I think about apex.

238
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 5: And I do think though, that there is a stage

239
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 5: in your career. There are stages in your finances right

240
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 5: where you've arrived, and then how do you elevate and

241
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 5: take it to the next level? Right, so you can

242
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 5: become a millionaire. That's great, but then you can become

243
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 5: one hundred millionaire and that's really great. Then you could

244
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 5: become a billionaire and now like that's something else. Right,

245
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 5: So those are all APEX moments within our lives. And

246
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 5: so when I say I hit that apex peak, it's

247
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 5: like if I'm in a c suite conversation, that's a

248
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 5: different conversation than being a manager or a director, and

249
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 5: how people receive us differently.

250
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 6: So when you're saying apex, you can have a.

251
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: Few of them.

252
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,839
Speaker 4: A few of them, I hope too, and I hope

253
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 4: you guys do as well.

254
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 3: So you said something about relationships. I'm interested to hear

255
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 3: this because I used to be a financial advisor. Before

256
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 3: I did this. When I was a financial advisor, seventy

257
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 3: percent of my clients were women, Black women. And I

258
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 3: learned something that there's a lot of black women that

259
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 3: make a lot of money, like five thousand, four hundred

260
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: thousand dollars a year. They're like corporate diversity officers that

261
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 3: may SE's and different things in the nature. And then

262
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 3: in their mid thirties and they're single and they've never

263
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: had children. And I noticed that. I started to see

264
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 3: a pattern, and I started to realize that this is

265
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 3: my philosophy. There wasn't an equal counterpart a lot right,

266
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 3: because it's like their counterpart, their age wasn't making as

267
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 3: much money, wasn't at that level of corporate. It might

268
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 3: have been a good dude, but he's you know, it's

269
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 3: a delivery man, right or the person that is at

270
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 3: that level, it is it ready going. It's a righty

271
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 3: taken he's already married and has children. So from a

272
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: relationship standpoint, I started to see that it was difficult

273
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: for I'm.

274
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 4: So sorry because sorry, my alarm go ahead.

275
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 3: So relationship standpoint, I started to see that it was

276
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 3: difficult a lot of times for black women that was

277
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 3: rising up that corporate ladder to get into a relationship

278
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: or to So I don't know what your segment in

279
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 3: the book about relationships is, but have you seen that

280
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 3: and what's your thoughts on that.

281
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 5: I absolutely have seen that. But I think that there's

282
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 5: so nuanced. So there's a couple of things that go

283
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 5: into that. I think top line looking at it, Yes,

284
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 5: there's not an equal counterpart at every step for a

285
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 5: lot of these women at a certain age.

286
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: Because men can go down to right like men, you

287
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 3: can be forty years old and date the twenty eight

288
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 3: year old and nobody says anything. That's another thing that

289
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: kind of it's hard for a forty year old woman

290
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 3: to find the twenty eight year old man.

291
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 5: That she wants to be with, right that because women

292
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 5: like to be able to learn from their men and

293
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 5: have leadership within their relationship. Traditionally, not all women and

294
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 5: so oftentimes men that are younger don't necessarily we have

295
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 5: those experiences. Some women do, and they do well in

296
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 5: that space, but not not most. But I think it's

297
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 5: it's a combination of things. I think it's and you know,

298
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 5: so many people with me. For instance, I'm single, I

299
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 5: don't have children, and people ask me like what happened?

300
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 5: And I'm a heterosexual woman, right, and so it's like, well,

301
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 5: a couple of things happened, you know. I think first

302
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 5: and foremost, I always say I spent too much time

303
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 5: on the wrong relationships.

304
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 4: That is, I tell any young woman, get in and

305
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 4: get out. That's what JA get out.

306
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 5: If it works great, if it doesn't move on as

307
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 5: quickly as possible, right, learn a lesson, forgive and move on.

308
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 5: So I didn't necessarily do that as often as perhaps

309
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 5: I should have. But I also think, you know, being

310
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 5: creating a space to date and explore. Women that are

311
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 5: are driven in their careers tend to forget about how

312
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 5: intentional you need to be about I'm.

313
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 3: Glad you said that they don't have time.

314
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 4: You don't have time. They don't make time.

315
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 6: They don't make the time.

316
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 4: It don't make the time.

317
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 5: They it don't make it because it gets exhausting right

318
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 5: when you're when you're constantly coming up against the men

319
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 5: that may not be equally yoked.

320
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 2: There's a list of priorities.

321
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 6: Is that how we do we're prioritizing these things like

322
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 6: this is more important than this at this present time.

323
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 4: Yeah.

324
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 5: I had a friend that said to me, very very

325
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 5: very good friend. She said, you need to approach getting

326
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 5: married like finding your dream job the same way and

327
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 5: the same way you would go and find interviews and

328
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 5: have conversations. You need to find friends that have single friends.

329
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 5: You need to be in spaces where there are single

330
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 5: men because of the type of man that you want

331
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 5: to marry is very unique, so you're not going to

332
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 5: just bump into him at a supermarket. You've got to

333
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 5: be intentional. And I thought it was brilliant when she

334
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 5: said it. To me way too late, but she, you know,

335
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 5: obviously expressed it. I think the same thing happens in

336
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 5: some of the situations that you mentioned.

337
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 3: Going back to my financial advisor days, Remember this guy

338
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 3: was telling me, he told his daughter that, and he

339
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 3: was like, what are you doing to find a husband?

340
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: Like?

341
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: You can't just wing it. You got to actually treat

342
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 3: this thing like you are, like you said, like you're

343
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 3: trying to get a job, like you got to actually

344
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 3: have a set, planned, blueprint events that I'm going to

345
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 3: go to everything.

346
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 6: Well, because the places you're going to run into are

347
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 6: so limited at this point. This is the days where

348
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 6: I'm going to go to the library, or i might

349
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 6: go to the theater and I'm going to the art

350
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 6: gallery like it's like I'm in the club.

351
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: Is this why we potentially see a lot of interracial

352
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 3: couples at higher like the vice president different things to

353
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:38,679
Speaker 3: that nation.

354
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 4: I think so.

355
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 5: I think so, you know, people tend to date within

356
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 5: their industry or dat and what they're most familiar with

357
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 5: and around, and you know, unfortunately, I think that is

358
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 5: the case.

359
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: And I think that there's a I'm gonna say something

360
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 4: a little contra controversial.

361
00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 5: But I think that fundamentally, Black youth is not as

362
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 5: conditioned to marry automatically the way some other cultures are. Right,

363
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 5: that's other cultures effect.

364
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 4: Right, they know they have to get married.

365
00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: They don't really have a choice.

366
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 4: There's no choice. You're going to get married.

367
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 5: It may not be today, fact it's going to be arranged,

368
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 5: or it's going to be arranged for you, and it

369
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 5: may not be today, it may not be in five years,

370
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 5: but you're going to get married. They also know to

371
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 5: be successful, particularly the men in those those culture cultures.

372
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 5: Thank you know that having a wife represents something way broader.

373
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 5: It represents responsibility, it represents anchoring. Like you think about

374
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 5: have we ever had a single president. We've had a

375
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 5: widowed president, but we've never had a single president ever. Right,

376
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 5: So there's there's little things that.

377
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 3: Go into societal norms.

378
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 5: Societal norms around being married that don't necessarily exist automatically

379
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 5: within our culture. So our young people don't know that

380
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 5: we have to get married then, not that we have to,

381
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 5: but that it would be beneficial for us to partner

382
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 5: up and do some stuff together in that way. Yeah,

383
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 5: I agree, So there's a t we're at a disadvantage

384
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 5: initially with the with the mindset, but then we're so

385
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 5: busy trying to do it by ourselves we forget to

386
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 5: reconnect with each other and do it together and find

387
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 5: someone to do it together with.

388
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 6: So and while we're thinking about that at the time,

389
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 6: it's passing every day every.

390
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 5: Day, and you're more set in your ways and your

391
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 5: your requirements get a little more intricate, and you.

392
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 3: Get more comfortable being by yourself, yes, which makes it

393
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 3: harder for you to be a relationship.

394
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 6: And then there's always helpsial media that can comfort you

395
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 6: when you're by yourself.

396
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 5: Four things Tender, Oh God, swipe less.

397
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

398
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

399
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

400
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

401
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

402
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States

403
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

404
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

405
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

406
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly

407
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you will

408
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

409
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

410
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: Do what's right.

411
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 4: Leave now.

412
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: Under President Trump America's laws, border and families will be protected.

413
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,080
