Speaker 4: hear too often, and unfortunately people. You know, I was

52
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 4: looking at the statistics on your website for the mentorship

53
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 4: program and it's like thirty forty percent of women who've

54
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 4: been incarcerated to go back in three years, thirty to

55
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 4: forty percent get stuck back into the system. And you

56
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: are definitely a unicorn in that story in the sense

57
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 4: that you've done something completely different with your life now

58
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: and you're here to tell that story.

59
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 5: Yes, super exciting, Yes, super out of the ordinary.

60
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: I guess.

61
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was the least likely to succeed for Shure.

62
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the yearbook, that's where that would have had

63
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 4: you on that page.

64
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 3: Huh.

65
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 5: Absolutely yes, and.

66
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 4: You brought your young daughter here as well. Who's your stylist.

67
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 4: She's she's a boss with you. And I love this story.

68
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 4: But start me from the beginning. Where'd you go to school?

69
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 4: Where'd you grow up?

70
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 3: I grew up in Washington State, like I grew up.

71
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 3: It's close to Vancouver, Washington, Okay. I was born in Portland, Oregon, Okay.

72
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 3: So I grew up there. I was adopted as a baby,

73
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 3: grew up with an adopted family, a Caucasian family.

74
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 5: So I'm kind of different, but they're amazing. They like

75
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:22,079
Speaker 5: raised me.

76
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 4: Well.

77
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 5: I was always a little.

78
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 3: Different for sure, So I had a little bit, you know,

79
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 3: I was always different, you know, I was always I

80
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 3: guess I never felt like I really fit in exactly.

81
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: So I always was like in a room full of people,

82
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 3: but never really really felt like I fit in.

83
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, And you were sharing with me off air

84
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 4: that you actually didn't even know your heritage until the

85
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 4: twenty four meters or the DNA test came out, right, Yeah.

86
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, back then they did like just close adoptions. Yeah,

87
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 3: so it's like super secretive. You get like a piece

88
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: like a car like an index card with your info

89
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: on it, which is nothing, So you really don't know.

90
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 5: It's a guessing game.

91
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: So like for years, I was guessing, and now I'm

92
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: forty nine, So I was guessing for years up until

93
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: I guess it was about five years ago I had

94
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 3: the DNA testing done.

95
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 5: Didn't realize how accurate it is.

96
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, so up until then, you're like, okay,

97
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 4: fuck it, I'm Mexican.

98
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: Well like people were saying I was, you know yeah yeah, yeah,

99
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 3: or even Asian like.

100
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 5: All types. Everybody would guess.

101
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 4: Yeah. So it really didn't know.

102
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 5: I had no clue.

103
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 4: How long ago was it. They finally found out.

104
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 3: It was like about five years ago. Yeah, so the

105
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 3: DNA test definitely worked. I actually found my my real mother.

106
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 3: I talked to her on the phone. Was you know,

107
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 3: it was different. She was very young when she gave

108
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: me up. So, but I was very grateful that my

109
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 3: parents had adopted me, you know.

110
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 4: So they were good. It was a good story in

111
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 4: terms of they were they were a healthy environment growing up.

112
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: Would you say, yeah, I was just very different. I

113
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: was like the black sheep, sure, like the bad seat

114
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: of the family. I was always in trouble. Yeah, I

115
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 3: was always different. My parents were very, very average middle

116
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 3: middle class. You know, America is hardworking. My mom was educated,

117
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 3: you know, she was more of She's a nurse, worked

118
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: at the hospital. My dad worked in like a mill.

119
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: I've in Washington have a lot of like mills, like

120
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: paper mill.

121
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 4: Yeah.

122
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 3: So I just was raised. I was raising a decent home.

123
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 3: I just never fit in and I never wanted to

124
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: listen understood. It's very rebellious.

125
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, you know, I have a saying that

126
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 4: the windshield is bigger than the rear view mirror for

127
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 4: a reason, and that you got to look forward than

128
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,239
Speaker 4: in the past. So I rarely like to talk about

129
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 4: people's past, especially when it comes from stories of incarceration

130
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 4: or abuse or anything like that. But I think the audience,

131
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 4: and I think your your audience more specifically, you know,

132
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 4: they value and respect vulnerability, and so I'd love to

133
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 4: hear how you ended up, you know, on the bad side,

134
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 4: or how did you end up incarcerated, What was the

135
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 4: story behind that and how long did that last?

136
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 3: For well, I mean I just as a young teenager,

137
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: I started, you know, hanging out with the wrong crowd.

138
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: I felt like that's where I fit in more, you know,

139
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: for sure, And I just went downhill for from there,

140
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 3: you know, like so I ended up. You know, I

141
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 3: was notorious for stealing cars, e louting the police, gun theft.

142
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: I had like nine felonies as a juvenile before I

143
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: was eighteen.

144
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 4: Shut the front door, nine hit eight.

145
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 3: We actually was in June. It's juvenile prison. I still

146
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 3: don't know what it's called. Like institution, it's institution, right, So,

147
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: like I was locked it up in Seattle twice, like

148
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 3: kind of back to back. I was always doing crazy shit,

149
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: like I would run away, I would steal cars and

150
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: go to Dallas, Texas. I didn't like do things little

151
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: like I'd always do them extra. I'm always extra with

152
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 3: everything I do. So like I would do I would,

153
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 3: I was. You know, I got arrested on a military base.

154
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 3: That was one time when I had it. You know,

155
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 3: they came and got me, shackled me up. My probation

156
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 3: officer came and flew me back to Washington. I got

157
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 3: locked up again in Seattle, you know. And you know,

158
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: when you're locked up, you just meet more people like you.

159
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 3: So it's kind of like unless you make different decisions,

160
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: right like you around absolutely so you like you just

161
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 3: find ways of being more you know, if you don't

162
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,119
Speaker 3: look for the right things, you're gonna be it's easy

163
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 3: to be bad, right, So, like I just kept meeting

164
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 3: all the people that that you know, were like me,

165
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 3: sometimes a little bit worse, you know, and so like

166
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 3: I just I kept that that habit. So I yet

167
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 3: nine juvenile felonies, and then my eighteenth birthday, I got

168
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: released from juvenile. You know, they couldn't because back then

169
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: I didn't really charge you as an adultunless you were

170
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 3: like it was like murder, attempted murder or something major.

171
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 3: You know, nowadays, I think that they they don't they

172
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 3: don't playing.

173
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, they keep you in there. They want they want

174
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 4: that the systemized, institutionalized person because it's money for them.

175
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 5: Absolutely. Absolutely.

176
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 3: So Then when I after, you know, I was eighteen,

177
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 3: I got out shortly after I got pregnant with my

178
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 3: first daughter, who's now thirty, and I still wasn't changed,

179
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 3: you know, still run around with the same people, you know,

180
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: people gang related things that were like I still didn't

181
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 3: I didn't have it in me to really want to

182
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 3: make a difference, to want to change, you know. So

183
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: shortly after my daughter turned like six months, I ended

184
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: up back back in jail for car theft. I was

185
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 3: and eluding the police again, still doing the same stupid things, right,

186
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: but and still had obviously learned my lesson, you know,

187
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 3: so that my parents were at home helping me take

188
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: care of my daughter. You know, I was struggling to

189
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 3: really grow up and you know and mature. Obviously I

190
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 3: didn't want to get my shit together. It was already,

191
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 3: you know. And then I maybe a couple after I

192
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 3: got out of jail. That time, I was a little bit.

193
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 3: It was different because you know, I knew, like, okay,

194
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 3: I wanted to be I don't even know if I

195
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 3: wanted to be actually, Like I think it was too

196
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: young to be a mom. So I give it up

197
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 3: to moms who were like fourteen fifteen, because being a

198
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 3: mom at eighteen nineteen was I wasn't ready. Yeah, you know,

199
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,599
Speaker 3: I wasn't personally ready. I think it's a lot for

200
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 3: you know, somebody that age.

201
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 5: You know. So I then I got pregnant.

202
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: With my son, like when I was about twenty two,

203
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 3: almost twenty three. So but my son ended up having

204
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 3: like when I was pregnant with him, they found that

205
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: he had like a genetic heart, like the congenital heart defect,

206
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 3: so that kind of changed everything. But when I was

207
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 3: pregnant with him in the beginning, I actually caught charges too,

208
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 3: so like it still was a listing. So someone had

209
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: jumped my that it was my first husband at the time.

210
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 5: His sister, a guy had beat her up.

211
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 3: So we ended up him and my ex husband and

212
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: I we ended up going and taking care of him

213
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 3: in his house. So we ended up getting charges and

214
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 3: all these things, and like I got charged with like

215
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 3: second degree assault with a deadly weapon and so but

216
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 3: as I was going through my pregnancy finding out that

217
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 3: my son, you know, they they told me to abort him,

218
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: I couldn't, you know, I was like, you know what,

219
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 3: I can't, like what happens? What if you know, like

220
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 3: and he didn't have anything else genetically wrong with him,

221
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,319
Speaker 3: so it's just like the congenital heart defect. So I

222
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 3: did mature through that process for sure, Like I totally was,

223
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 3: you know, like I changed. I wasn't, I wasn't in

224
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 3: the streets, I wasn't doing you know, I.

225
00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 4: Really waste Yeah, yeah.

226
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Because I was like finding out that my

227
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 3: son had a congenital heart defect and that they it

228
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: was a severe cogital heart defect that he might not

229
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: live was you know, heartbreaking. It's like so one of

230
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 3: the like like one of the days. It was the

231
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 3: most life changing for me, you know. And so like

232
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 3: I went through a lot with my pregnancy with that,

233
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,959
Speaker 3: so I was, you know, I had related to take

234
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 3: care of myself, go to a lot of doctor's appointments.

235
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: Was like I chose to keep him, and thank god,

236
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: those court things like I ended up just doing like

237
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 3: six months on house arrest. So like the court felt

238
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: compassion for me because of all the medical issues, you know,

239
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: which is that was I mean, that was grace for sure, grace,

240
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 3: you know it all it all worked out. So but

241
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: you know, after I had him, you know, I you know,

242
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: he had open heart surgery and at like three months

243
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 3: he's a baby, and I just my only focus was

244
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 3: on him and taking care of him and then my

245
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: daughter at the time, you know, And so I was

246
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 3: different and and I it was Obtobert. He was two

247
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 3: and a half years old, three him myself and his

248
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 3: dad we split up, so he was just what never

249
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: really supportive. He was never around. I would be with

250
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: taking care of him night and day, and he would

251
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 3: be in the streets, you know.

252
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,599
Speaker 4: So he stayed in. He stayed in the game. He

253
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 4: still was kind of running around. You were looking to

254
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 4: level up, and all of a sudden you realize that, hey,

255
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 4: this ain't gonna work.

256
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I we I ended up leaving him. I'm like,

257
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: the last time, he had three open heart surgeries, and

258
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: the third surgery he was non he did he didn't

259
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 3: show up. So I was like, you know, it's time

260
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 3: to lieve you know, it's time. Well, he needed to leave.

261
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 4: I kicked him.

262
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 3: It was my house, right right, so he so so

263
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: that was you know, and after that, you know, when

264
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 3: you break up with somebody and I feel like back then,

265
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, you're young, and you're kind of

266
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 3: like you get lost in somebody, and you know, and

267
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: so I started being kind of wild. I still had

268
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: the same friends, but I wasn't doing the same shit,

269
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 3: you know. And so then I I met my second husband,

270
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 3: and I didn't know he's gonna be my husband at

271
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: the time, and he actually, you know, he was in

272
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 3: the selling drugs and things like that. So I got

273
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 3: wrapped up and that lifestyle and UH ended up in prison.

274
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 3: So and here I have two children, one severely handicapped,

275
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 3: and at the time when I think my son was

276
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 3: about five, I want to say, four or five when

277
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 3: I was actually locked up. So I got and it

278
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 3: ended up getting locked up for like they charged with

279
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 3: with trafficking drugs and possession of drugs heroin at the time.

280
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 3: And it was crazy because that was not something I

281
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: was really used to, like, you know, that wasn't my world.

282
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 3: You know, I didn't really fuck with that, you know. Yeah,

283
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 3: so but that but that, like.

284
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 4: Walk up was another three to four years. Now. Yeah,

285
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 4: now you got you got your handicaps, you have your daughter, yes, and.

286
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 5: Now my mom and dad are taking care of them. Yeah.

287
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 4: And you're sitting in prison now are you thinking, like

288
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 4: what the hell am I doing? Because you started to change, right,

289
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 4: you let go that. Yeah, you dumped the first dude

290
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: that that was basically not even going to be a father. Absolutely, yeah,

291
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 4: and now you find yourself tied up in this situation.

292
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I'm thinking, well, I don't want to be

293
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 3: with this guy either, this guy, you know, like I

294
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: didn't have any kids with them at the time, you know,

295
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 3: I didn't have any children, so I didn't really think

296
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 3: plan on being with him. I just I was really

297
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: focused at that moment, Like from the minute I got

298
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: locked up in County to my whole time, like I

299
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 3: really really worked on myself, you know, like I spent

300
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 3: a lot of time reflecting, like I wouldn't get involved

301
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 3: in a lot of the myths like in prison, you know,

302
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 3: I stayed like I tried to do my best. I

303
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: needed to get home to my kids, you know. So

304
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: but it was that was life changing for me. I

305
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 3: was like, man, I really need to get my shit together,

306
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 3: Like this is not life. This isn't life, you know.

307
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: And I knew better, you know, and I wanted something more,

308
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: you know. I wasn't sure what that was, but I

309
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 3: wanted more, you know. So I ended up doing with

310
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 3: work Relies, ended up doing about about four years. And

311
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 3: then with my in work release, I got pregnant with

312
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: my I got pregnant with my daughter.

313
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,200

00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 3: So with the guy I got busted selling drugs with

316
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 3: so and he ended up being my husband for over

317
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 3: almost over twenty years. Oh yeah, So it all like crazy,

318
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 3: how hindsight when you look back at it everything and

319
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 3: how things work out, you know. But I get pregnant

320
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 3: with her, I have to hide the pregnancy because I'm

321
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 3: not sure if they're going to send me back to prison,

322
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: because you know, it's kind of like a work, kind

323
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,560
Speaker 3: of like a I think it's like a halfway house

324
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 3: here right in California, like a situation where you have

325
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 3: to you know, you you work, you go back to

326
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: the to the facility, and you have to like you know.

327
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 3: So I wasn't sure what was going to happen, so

328
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 3: I hid my pregnancy toils Almost.

329
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 4: Drug dealer husband wasn't part of the work, right, No, No, I'm.

330
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 5: Pretty sure no.

331
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 3: And then you know, I was nervous because there's a

332
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: lot of women who have babies in prison. There's like

333
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: the facilities where they keep their kids until they're like two,

334
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 3: you know. And I'm like, and I the thing is,

335
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 3: I did I signed a plea that was like if

336
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 3: I did like drug.

337
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 5: And alcohol treatment, and I you know.

338
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: This time is over your head, so like I had

339
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 3: a lot of time sitting over my head spilled, so

340
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 3: like if I went back, the question was exactly exactly exactly,

341
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: So I was like, well, I'd be sitting in another

342
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: career four years. So you know, it all worked out

00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 5: Well was my son.

406
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 3: So one thing I didn't touch on is my son

407
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 3: was in an accident at the hospital, which is why

408
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 3: he's severely disabled.

409
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 5: So at after he had his first open heart surgery.

410
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 3: He went into cardiac arrest and it was a big

411
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 3: thing with the hospital. So we ended up filing a

412
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 3: huge lawsuit. It was a landmark case, my son's case. Yeah,

413

Speaker 3: it changed like laws so in Oregon state, so kind

414
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: of it's it was like a long time.

415
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 4: His handicap got worse because of malpractice at the hospital.

416
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 3: Yes, he actually suffered anoxic brain injury and was like actually,

417
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: and they are doing CPR on him for over an hour.

418
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 5: They were going to pronounce him that he's actually a miror.

419
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 4: Mirror double miracle.

420
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,000

Speaker 3: I moved to California because it was better for him.

443
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: For hell, So, once the lawsuit was final, we moved

444
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 3: down here, and like I really couldn't move outside. I

445
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 3: couldn't work outside of the home because of his situation.

446
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 4: You were the primary caregiver at this point.

447
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 3: Yes, so, like and they kind of make you like

448
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 3: I had my own catering business in Washington, and they

449
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: make you kind of they kind of felt like I

450
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 3: was kind of forced to be that home caregiver at

451
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 3: this point.

452
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 5: And I wasn't used to being at home mom.

453
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 3: I actually liked to be busy, like to work, you know,

454
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 3: like to you know, be active and so like with

455
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: with so I did that for like eight years, I

456
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 3: was just at home with him. But during the eight

457
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: years I felt like, you know, kind of trapped, like

458
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 3: I needed something to be independent and to do, you know,

459
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 3: so I started doing. I started, well, my daughter was

460
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 3: a dancer. So my daughter, who's now almost nineteen, she

461
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 3: was in the dance so she would do like competitive dance.

462
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 5: So I started getting into that industry, you know.

463
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 3: And I've always loved to be creative and loved to

464
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 3: like design things. And I would you know, anything fashion,

465
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 3: anything that's in interior design, things like that I always

466
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 3: have had a passion for. But just I'm never was

467
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 3: really good at going to school. Yeah, so like that

468
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 3: was an option. So I was like, well, maybe I'll

469
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 3: start my own company. So I literally I took my

470
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 3: daughter's her clothing from dance and we'd unsowed it and

471
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 3: we like made a pattern with my nanny.

472
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 5: I made a pattern like a paper pattern, and.

473
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 3: Like in my room, I was doing all these things

474
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 3: that we got fabric and I was and I found

475
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 3: the steam stress like on the side. Just to kind

476
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 3: of start this fun thing. I thought I would sell

477
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 3: like things at the studio, you know, make them a

478
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 3: dance whear for little girls, cute stuff to sell at

479
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 3: the studio. Like, you know, I knew so many Southern

480
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 3: California that wouldn't have money, you know, and there's so

481
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 3: many dancers that was a big thing was up and coming.

482
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 5: Now it's even bigger.

483
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 4: So it's literally like almost a hobby starts becoming a

484
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 4: business at this point, Like you never did you envision

485
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 4: it would be as big as it's gotten now. This

486
00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 4: was just like, hey, I'm going to make a few

487
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 4: bucks put up for sale.

488
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, I thought I was going to do it,

489
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: like at the studios, the studios like an Orange County

490
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 3: like and you know, we were there's so many studios.

491
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 3: Like I was like, I'm gonna go sell it because

492
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 3: I would like pay like for little tiny shorts right out,

493
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 3: or I'd pay like ninety dollars for the short. And

494
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 3: I'm like this fabrics, like I don't know, six dollars

495
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 3: a yard, you know. I'm like, people are someone's making money, right, So,

496
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 3: like I started, and you know, it just blew up,

497
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 3: Like I started sending things to people on and this

498
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 3: is before I even knew what I was doing.

499
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 5: So I did not even know, Like I didn't go

500
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 5: to fashion school. I didn't know how it was.

501
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 4: You're literally self taught. Yeah, in the industry. They had

502
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 4: no clue, no clue.

503
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: And nobody in the garment industry is really friendly, you

504
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 3: know what I mean. They're like very cutthroat. So if

505
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,360
Speaker 3: you're not you're not paying them, you don't know, they

506
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 3: look at you like a stupid and you keep a

507
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: pushing like they don't so like I would, I went

508
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 3: through a lot like trying to hire people.

509
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, managers.

510
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: I put up with so many, so many puky men

511
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 3: like trying to you know what I mean, like, but

512
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 3: you know what, I made it work and I paid attention.

513
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 3: I paid attention to so every time someone told me

514
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: something or avenue or somebody a reference, I would write

515
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 3: it down mentally for sure, and I would. And that's

516
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: how I just started to grow and I, you know, slowly.

517
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 3: I did it the backwards way for sure. But I

518
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 3: really started my company with five hundred dollars. Oh wow,

519
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: five hundred dollars. I didn't have a loan, I didn't

520
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 3: have good credit, I didn't have someone to give me money.

521
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: In my family, I didn't inherit anything. It wasn't And

522
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 3: my son's lawsuit, by the way, didn't like my son

523
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 3: in the state of Oregon, you don't get any pain

524
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 3: and suffering, so there was.

525
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 4: No punitive damage multi Yeah, so even though it was

526
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 4: a landmark case, yes it changed things for other kids

527
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 4: what he did. But this wasn't like you had a

528
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 4: five million dollar check with you would have.

529
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 3: In California exactly, or like Washington State where I actually

530
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 3: was resiting.

531
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 4: Man, as you said that, I was wondering, okay, is

532
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 4: that how she bankrolled the count? But yeah, especially when

533
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,880
Speaker 4: he said, and I didn't really know how to ask

534
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 4: you what, I'll put you on the spot. But so

535
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 4: you really bootstrapped this company you invested in.

536
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 5: Well, they paid me to stay home and take care

537
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 5: of him. They paid me a wage. It was a

538
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 5: decent wage, but in CALIFORNI.

539
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 4: Not enough to start a business and scale absolutely not.

540
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 3: So like it was like, you know, I was like, okay, well,

541
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 3: and I didn't want to live off that forever, like

542
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 3: just them paying me and then be at their beck

543
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 3: and call you know what I mean, I'm at home

544
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 3: just making the same wage all the time. It's just

545
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 3: not in me, you know, always been very motivated, very active,

546
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,719
Speaker 3: very I'm not lazy for sure at all. So like

547
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:24,199
Speaker 3: it just took like I just started you know, obviously

548
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 3: it would have been a lot quicker a lot. But

549
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 3: you know, if you have money up front to pay

550
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 3: for a mentor for you know, for training, you know,

551
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 3: some sort of schooling, some sort of you know, master classes,

552
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, to know what to do

553
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 3: step A B and see, I would have saved a

554
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:39,919
Speaker 3: lot of money, lots of hundreds and hundreds of thousands

555
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 3: of dollars.

556
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: You know.

557
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 4: While we're on the subject of money, I'm going to

558
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 4: put you through the financial Friday five. This is something

559
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 4: we do with every guest and I can't wait to

560
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 4: hear your answer. This is five questions I'm gonna ask you.

561
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 4: Just tell me off the top of your head. The

562
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 4: first thing that comes in. Okay, So the first question

563
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 4: is what was the best investment that you've ever made? Well,

564
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 4: Candy couture there it is so essentially invested in yourself.

565
00:23:59,240 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

566
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 4: I love that. I love that answer. And you know

567
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 4: what's amazing is that, you know, being a financial show,

568
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 4: and I do end up with it on a lot

569
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 4: of entrepreneurs, and I will say at least eight out

570
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 4: of ten say the same thing. Either invested in myself,

571
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 4: invest in mentorship, or invest into my own business. It's

572
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 4: very rarely oh this stock or that business. Yeah, it's

573
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,879
Speaker 4: always yourself. And I cannot you know, validate that more

574
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 4: clearly because that's that's the same answer I give. Just

575
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 4: literally born it back into myself. I can't tell you

576
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 4: how many hundreds of thousands of dollars I've paid to

577
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 4: mentors and personal development and you really do become the

578
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 4: best version of yourself.

579
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 3: Well, people don't realize that. I think it's a waste

580
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 3: of money, and they're like really hesitant on that. But

581
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 3: that's a huge thing. I think no matter what level

582
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 3: right you're at, like it's important that you are always

583
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 3: there's always somebody at the higher level. So if you

584
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 3: want to get to the next level, you got to

585
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,159
Speaker 3: keep you got to have someone to push you, to

586
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 3: show you, to teach you.

587
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 4: Yep.

588
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 5: And the free stuff that doesn't get you very.

589
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 4: My no, it really doesn't. And and you do quickly

590
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 4: realize that the people that shit on that and tell

591
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 4: you that there's waste of money, they're not the people

592
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 4: that we hang out with. No more. Like literally in

593
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 4: five minutes, you and I were comparing mentors and you said,

594
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 4: you know, I have a mentor for this and I

595
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 4: have a mentor for that. That's when I know I'm

596
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 4: rocking with the right people because you recognize that literally

597
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 4: every one of us has you know, mentors higher than us. Absolutely,

598
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 4: because I think it's any for some that talks about

599
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 4: keeping a thermometer or temperature. If everybody arounds you seventy

600
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 4: and you want to try to go higher, you got

601
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 4: to change the therm stat of the circles that you're

602
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 4: hanging out with. You hang out with five fat people,

603
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 4: you're going to be the six fat, five alcoholics, you're

604
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 4: the six one, but seven five successful people, you're going

605
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 4: to be the sixth successful person.

606
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

607
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 4: Sorry. The second question for the Financial Friday five is

608
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 4: what is the worst investment now that's going to be

609
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 4: a business or a person that you've ever made. What

610
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 4: is the worst investment that you've ever made into a

611
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 4: business or a person?

612
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,080

Speaker 4: Side evidence off that, but I had I.

617
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:53,800

Speaker 3: thing is, I didn't always buy my things nice things

654
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 3: for myself, So I waited. I always I always felt

655
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 3: like I had the money, especially after Black Friday. You know,

656
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 3: you make a good amount of money, but walking to

657
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 3: the store, I couldn't really like, I couldn't justify buying

658
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 3: like a nice like Gucci bag or like a Chanel

659
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 3: bag for a long time. And then I got to

660
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,360
Speaker 3: a point where it's like, yeah, now I'm okay.

661
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 4: To buy it. Yeah I think that's kids.

662
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, a lot of people like buy things.

663
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 3: And that's what I go wrong with business, right, they

664
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 3: make money and then also they spend it.

665
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 5: You got to flip your money back into your company,

666
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 5: you know, and so you got to. You have to.

667
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 3: You have to sacrifice in the beginning in order to

668
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 3: grow your company, you know what I mean. So like

669
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,320

00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 4: and that is not a plug just for myself, but

743
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,520

744
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 4: already got the students with you. I know mentorship has

745
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 4: been big in your life, going back to your past,

746
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 4: do you feel like, you know you had good parents,

747
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 4: you had good adopted parents. They were supportive, they weren't

748
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 4: bad people, and yet somehow you got caught up in

749
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 4: the wrong mix. Do you feel like if you'd had

750
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 4: mentors around you at an earlier age the way your

751
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,440
Speaker 4: daughter now has with you, that your life would have

752
00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 4: started out different.

753
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 3: I think so, yeah, I think so. I think that

754
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 3: we're in a new error, you know what I mean?

755
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 3: So Like, I feel like people are now open to change.

756
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 3: You know, you know when I was growing up, it

757
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 3: was different. You know, people didn't really seek if you

758
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 3: saw counseling, you you're weird, You're you're crazy or sick. Right,

759
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 3: So I think that it's so great how everybody's evolving,

760
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 3: like to want to change, we want to be different.

761
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 5: There's people there's a whole wave of.

762
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 3: People who are just moving with with wanting to be

763
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 3: you know, better themselves, self care, self love, you know.

764
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 3: So I think it's a great thing. So that's what

765
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 3: I tried to be to my children, you know what

766
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 3: I mean. They're not just like a friend, but like

Speaker 4: you know, when their story is coming out there, it's

776
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 4: just not authentic. There's no vulnerability about it. Look what

777
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 4: I got, Look what I got, right, And something about

778
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 4: your stories that you're vulnerable. You're like, listen, you know,

779
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 4: I've gone through shit. I've been in the worst spots.

780
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 4: I've had dark holes, I've had demons, and I made

781
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 4: it out. And I think that's why people are tapping

782
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 4: into you. I know that when I started my program

783
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 4: was the same thing I was like, look, listen, guys,

784
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 4: I fucked up. You know, this is what happened with

785
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 4: my life. I trusted the wrong guy, I lost everything,

786
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera. So I I think that vulnerability

787
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 4: is what's lacking. And there's a lot of gurus out there,

788
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 4: there's a lot of mentors, there's a lot of want

789
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 4: to be influencers. But I think that that you being

790
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 4: authentic to yourself as really really comes across. So I

791
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 4: thank you for it, but I think you know the

792
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 4: people that you're help and probably thank you even more

793
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 4: thank you.

794
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, it was you know like when my children

795
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 3: were younger, I didn't really want to you know what

796
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 3: I mean, want to like really put all this out

797
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 3: there right. But now that they're older, I'm like, you

798
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 3: know what, they're like, you should to tell your story

799
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 3: because I do have crazy stories like I have. You

800
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 3: know what the thing is with people, they think the

801
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 3: consistency is like this right, like in consistency like this.

802
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 4: Crazy story.

803
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 5: I got crazy stories.

804
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 3: But you know what the thing is, I feel like

805
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 3: when you're you are open, you're an open book with people.

806
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 3: People do end up respecting you, you know, because they

807
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 3: can relate you know, people are at home, they're miserable,

808
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,239
Speaker 3: or maybe they were involved in like domestic violence, or

809
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 3: like in bad relationships, or maybe they made really bad mistakes.

810
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 3: We all fuck up, right, we all make mistakes, but

811
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 3: it's how you keep it pushing and pick yourself back up.

812
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 4: You know, your daughter's got me curious. Now, do you

813
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 4: have a quick craziest story that you can tell me

814
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 4: that that would just blow my mind?

815
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 5: Which one? Which one?

816
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 4: Oh?

817
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh.

00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,839
Speaker 3: I ran away when I was Okay, So I ran

Speaker 3: We head and we head to California with nothing like

830
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 3: like I always did this ship right, You ask people

831
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 3: for money like we were crazy. You end up robbing

832
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 3: people doing stupid shit, right, and so like we we

833
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 3: ended up in Oakland with like some Jamaican guys.

834
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 5: Like this is weird.

835
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 3: Like that's why I'm glad my kids like listen to

836
00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 3: me now, like I'm like fifteen, and like they're like

837
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 3: I didn't realize they're part of like a reggae at

838
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 3: the time, Like I didn't have any clue. They're like

839
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 3: they had gold guns and they're like they took care

840
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 3: of us. Were like I lived Reggae Gate, yes, yeah,

841
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 3: for like several months.

842
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:03,359
Speaker 4: Wow.

843
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 3: And then tell my friend. And then when my friend

844
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 3: got bored, she's like, let's leave. So we left, you know,

845
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 3: and I didn't life at home wasn't bad. I just

846
00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 3: was like, now I'm on the run because I'm.

847
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 5: On parole, you know what I mean.

848
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 3: Right, So my kids are like, what are you doing? Like,

849
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,880
Speaker 3: and I would be at clubs. I was like, you know, fourteen, fifteen.

850
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 4: Years old, iast early age.

851
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, but thank god that like nothing happened, like

852
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 3: I never was, you know, like you know what I mean,

853
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 3: because there's so many situations I hear about now and

854
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, I'm lucky.

855
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 5: I was definitely being watched over.

856
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, you know, it was all meant to be

857
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 3: because I feel like when you look at life, you know,

858
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 3: in retrospect, right, like, it's crazy how you're always being

859
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 3: prepared for things and you look back and it's how

860
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 3: you see how everything is so perfectly together. And even

861
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 3: if you're even if you do the wrong things and

862
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: you're on the wrong path, right.

863
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 4: You've been super vulnerable. I'll share something with you real

864
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 4: quick for me, And you said it and I kind

865
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 4: of triggered a memory. Uh. You know when you say

866
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 4: that I've been watched over. I always tell these guys like,

867
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 4: hey man, I feel like I have an army of

868
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 4: guardian angels that's that's been watching over me. And now

869
00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 4: I owe it to that to not fuck up, to

870
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 4: make sure that I do what I need to do,

871
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 4: to give back to everybody that's helped me and supported me.

872
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 4: But when I was at my darkest, you know, I

873
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 4: would I didn't have the balls to kill myself, but

874
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 4: I had. I had a Maserati that was about to

875
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 4: get foreclosed on, and I you know, I had millions

876
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 4: of dollars to all these poor people, and I was,

877
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 4: you know, got five different attorneys, one for the FEDS,

878
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 4: one for the SEC, and nothing ever happened to me,

879
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 4: but it was this one dude. I trusted the wrong eye.

880
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,839
Speaker 4: Essentially right and a long story longer. Basically, I would

881
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 4: get in the I would get in that maserati, I'd

882
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 4: leave the casino. I'd try to spend every last dollar.

883
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 4: I'd drive as fast as I could. Shame on me

884
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 4: that I didn't realize I could be killing somebody else.

885
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 4: I'd get annihilated, just drink a bottle of tequila. I'd

886
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 4: get pulled over by the cops and I'm like, oh,

887
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 4: think I'd never been arrested, never had to do. I

888
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 4: knock on wood and the cop I'm like, oh, finally

889
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:47,239
Speaker 4: it's gonna be over you. And I didn't crash, but

890
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 4: at least I'll go to jail. There's something like punish me,

891
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 4: you know. And copper pulled me over. Where do you

892
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 4: come from? Commerce casino? Do you win? I had ten

893
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 4: thousand there. I'm like, yeah, you know what game you play?

894
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 3: Now?

895
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 4: He's like, more crunk on my story. I'm like, bro,

896
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 4: I can smell that's on my own breath, you know.

897
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,959
Speaker 4: He's like, what, man, this is a nice car. When'd

898
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 4: you get is the quadriport? I'm like, all right, man,

899
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 4: well just you're going like one hundred and ten. What's

900
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 4: the hurry. I'm like, oh, there's some hoodie guys, you know,

901
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 4: looking at me with the money. And he's like, all right,

902
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 4: we'll just drive safeer. I'm like, fuck, I can't even

903
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 4: you know what, talk about this army of Guardian agents.

904
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 4: You know, not only did I not hurt anybody else

905
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 4: or hurt myself, but but never ended up with the dui.

906
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 4: But so I think about those moments, and I think about, like,

907
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 4: definitely like I've had an army of people looking out

908
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 4: for me, and it sounds like you and I have

909
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 4: shared that. And the irony is there's this little city

910
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 4: I'm not going to name it in South Orange County,

911
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 4: and we both have grown up there. That's where you live,

912
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 4: That's where my parents still are. So I think there's

913
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 4: been some synergies that brought us here today. So I

914
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:42,439
Speaker 4: thank you for coming on the show. Before we leave,

915
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,360

Speaker 4: H last year she did two and a half million

928
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 4: dollars in sales. That is no joke. I don't think

Speaker 4: You're a way better entrepreneur than regular.

932
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 5: Being a drug dealer.

933
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 4: I was a drugular for about a week and I

934
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 4: was just give it away, give it away.

935
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:25,720
Speaker 3: I was, here's an out exactly exactly.

936
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,239

Speaker 3: It's a Queen mentor. And you know, I have several

940
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 3: programs right now, I just have three ups. So one

941
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 3: of the programs is basically to start your own brand

942
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 3: from start, you know, from start to finish. So like

943
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 3: literally we help you, you know, grade, plot your first item.

944
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: You know, we do samples, we give lots of we

945
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 3: give tons of you know, references for contractors for you know,

946
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 3: we start up everything.

947
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 5: So from start to finish.

948
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 4: Well this is in the starting industry or in.

949
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 5: Their clothing industry. So so many people come to me and

950
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 5: they want to know.

951
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 3: How, But once you tell them how, they're like, okay, yeah,

952
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. It says take it's a

953
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,759
Speaker 3: time process, but it's so worth it. I mean, the

954
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 3: garments industry, you can make a lot of money.

955
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 4: You guys make you know, people look at it as

956
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 4: you're spending money, but you're actually compressing time. And when

957
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 4: I say that, where it took us, you know, ten

958
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 4: twenty years to figure some shit out. You can compress

959
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 4: time by circling yourself with people that have already gone

960
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 4: through it, that have learned the headaches. Yes, you know,

961
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 4: are you going to hire a social media manager? Well,

962
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 4: how does the ad management work with shipping? You know, logists?

963
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 4: I mean that you name it down the line. We've

964
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 4: lost so much money that we can teach you how

965
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 4: to save money.

966
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 3: And well, the thing is, the thing is that I've

967
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,520
Speaker 3: worked with so many people in the industry in the

968
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 3: last ten years that have.

969
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 5: Totally screwed me over.

970
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 3: So many people who have promised me even like hiring them,

971
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 3: like through up work, through other like you know, platforms,

972
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 3: and they tell you they can promise you to send

973
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 3: them on the stars. At the end of the day,

974
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 3: they don't even know what they're doing. They use you

975
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 3: as Oh, yeah, I'm gonna you know, I'm going to

976
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 3: learn on the way, you know, And those are the

977
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,759
Speaker 3: things that are so frustrating. And we're still kind of

978
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 3: bad sometimes. So it's really important to build a team

979
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 3: of people. If you want to have a successful company,

980
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 3: you have to know what you're doing, otherwise you're going

981
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,719
Speaker 3: to like, I've voiced hundreds of thousands of dollars too,

982
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 3: so like if I had known hindsight, you know, it's

983
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 3: you know what I know now, Oh, I could have

984
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 3: been so much farther.

985
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 4: And by the way, shout out to your domain name.

986
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 4: Queen Mentor is a great name. I imagine that's going

987
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 4: to be a very valuable asset to you. Anything else

988
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,640
