And 62 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: I you know, I was saying to you before we 63 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: started the broadcast that you know, I'm getting old like 64 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: everybody else. However, I'm in the fight. I think that 65 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: in life in a fight in a good way, not 66 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: a negative way. But you know, you can't just resign 67 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: yourself to sayings just happening. You have to say I'm 68 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: gonna be convicted and determined um to make a way 69 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: out of nowhere. And so what I try to do 70 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: all the time is and I'm not always successful, but 71 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: I try every day to be a better me. And 72 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: when it comes to the physical aspect, you know, I 73 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: work out the out of weights. I try to eat better. 74 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: I'm not perfect in my eating, but I try to 75 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: eat better. Uh. And I think that if people follow 76 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: just that basic kind of idea that I'm going to 77 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: be better in my physical movement better and my nutritional inta. 78 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: I think people be happier and look better and feel better. Well, 79 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: the thing about our relationship is that you know I 80 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: got bad eating habits and so and people always say, man, 81 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: but you don't look like you eat habits. Because I 82 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 1: read his books. You know, I'm one of them. I'm 83 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: one of them. I want them good and bad customers. 84 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: You know, when when when it gets bad, Doc, I 85 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: go to your book. When it's when it's good, I 86 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: get off your book. You know what I'm saying. But 87 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: but it allows me a system of of direction. And 88 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: I think that's what we're trying to talk about here, 89 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 1: because so many people out there have health, health issues, 90 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: they have weight issues because they don't have direction and 91 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: also a direction that's uh. I think it's tied to 92 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: common sense. And that's what I've always felt that your 93 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: books are tied to common sense. Correct. Yeah, you know 94 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: it's interesting you say that because so many people will 95 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: say to me, well, Instagram or Facebook with dr Ian, 96 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: I'm doing this, and I'm doing that, and I'm doing this. 97 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: But the problem is it's not that people don't often 98 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: know what to do or how to do it. It's 99 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: that they don't have structure. Right, you gotta have structure. 100 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: You just can't say I'm gonna eat better, but what 101 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 1: does that mean? I'm gonna exercise better. What does that mean? 102 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: And so I tell people all the time, yeah, well, 103 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, what you're doing what it sounds like? 104 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: It sounds good, but it's not working well because we 105 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,359 Speaker 1: need structures in our in our life, and with fast burn, 106 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: the structure is very simple. It's nine weeks um. It's 107 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: based on affordable, regular, accessible food. You want to go 108 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: to five different grocery stores to buy it. But it's realistic. 109 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 1: That's the key. Rashan. A plan is not going to 110 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: work for people if it's not sustainable and realistic. And 111 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: so I wrote this plan from the standpoint of the 112 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: use of What I mean by that, I mean I 113 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: asked two thousand people in my Facebook group to try 114 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: out the original draft of the plan and they gave 115 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: me their feedback. What they liked, but they didn't like 116 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: what work, what didn't work. Uh. The average weight loss 117 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: was fifteen and seventeen pounds and nine weeks. And as 118 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: much as I helped them, they helped me because I 119 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: realized there are certain ways to make it easier. So 120 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: for example, things that people took me complain about in 121 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 1: the program I took care of. You can have alcohol 122 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: on the program. There's pasta there's bread, there's stay, there's pizza. 123 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: I mean all these things, uh that programs say you 124 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: cannot have. I said, you can still have it, but 125 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,280 Speaker 1: let's do it in a way where we have in 126 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: a healthier manner but equally tasty. Right, you can't go 127 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 1: healthy and still not be tasty. So I try to 128 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: do both and fast and fast burned. And I think 129 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 1: that's why people like it. Well, it's it's gonna be 130 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: proved to be my favorite now because you know, as 131 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: I stated earlier, I am not the best patient. You know, 132 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: if if if Dr was my was my doctor officially 133 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: said Roshan, come on that stop, you really really really 134 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: tripping that. But in your book you you allow me to. 135 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: I do eat in proportion, which is really always the 136 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: key too, and when you eat is the key as well. 137 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: And like I said, it's also knowing your body, because 138 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: you talk a little bit about that, because a lot 139 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,160 Speaker 1: of people don't listen to their body. They don't listen 140 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: to the way body when you're telling you, you know, 141 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: because that's why I always heeds the story about people 142 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: talking about, oh he looks so healthy. Well, I bet 143 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: you if you don't went to a doctor, the doctor 144 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: they ever told me had the hot blood pressure, high 145 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: cholesterol level. Talk about that whole process, because your book is, 146 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: like I said, it's a true guide, but there are 147 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 1: all steps that they have to take to go along 148 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: with your book to be successful. Yeah, you know, it's interesting. 149 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: I think that. Um, what people have to understand is 150 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: that these books are blueprints. Yes, folks, are not the Bible. 151 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: This book says, this is a guide for you. And 152 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: the reason why people really like fast Burns because it's 153 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 1: so customizable. Like when you think about it, you know, 154 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: no one wants to be dictated to what they have 155 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: to eat every day, but they don't want to have options. 156 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:56,559 Speaker 1: So there are options in the book. Every day, every 157 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: meal that has options to it. So you're vegan, vegetarian, caterion, carnivore, 158 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. You can make it work for you. So 159 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: you have you have lots of options. Then the other 160 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: part of it is some people say, well, you know, 161 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: I don't want to go to a gym. I don't 162 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 1: like to go to a gym. I said no. Chapter thirteen. 163 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,559 Speaker 1: These are all at home exercises you can do without 164 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: a gym membership, without the need for machines, thirty minutes 165 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: forty four or five days a week, and you know what, 166 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: you can break it up fifteen minutes in the morning, 167 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: fifteen in the afternoon. So I think that people really 168 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: are looking for plans that are allowing them not just 169 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: to diet rashan for the short term, but to make 170 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: lifestyle changes. That's why I'm interested. I'm interested in you 171 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: making a lifestyle change that you can live with. And 172 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 1: so do I want you to be perfect? No? Do 173 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: I expect you to be perfect? Absolutely not. But let 174 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: me give you an example. If you know you're going 175 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: out to dinner, and you know you're going to a 176 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: place that doesn't have the healthiest of foods, I want 177 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: you in your mind to say, you know what, tonight, 178 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: we're eating at so and so restaurant where it's not 179 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 1: a lot of great choices. So for breakfast and lunch, 180 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be really good. I'm gonna really make sure 181 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: that I make smart decisions. So when dinner time comes 182 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: and I have whatever I'm gonna have, I don't feel 183 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: guilty number one and number two, it's not gonna really 184 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: hurt me because I ate so well early the day 185 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: that to me is the better way to live life. 186 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: You don't want to always be on a restricted, you know, 187 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 1: heavily specified program. I want you to do a fast 188 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: burn for nine weeks, then I want you to put 189 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: it on the shelf and say, okay, now I am 190 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: prepared in all the situations that come at me to 191 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 1: make better decisions. Whether the better decision part comes into 192 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: what we're talking about. Your career has always been tied 193 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: to I'm not gonna lead a book a little bit 194 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 1: because your role as host of the Doctors, which was 195 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: a groundbreaking to me. Also, it was groundbreaking because it 196 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: happened during COVID and you are a real doctor. It 197 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,839 Speaker 1: affected African Americans overtly, people of color overtly. And so 198 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: with that being said, you're role as as happy as 199 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: we were because you came on my show. We talked 200 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: about it, what you're gonna do, but we all we 201 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: all thought that COVID would kind of like come and go, 202 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: and now we see it's not gonna go at all. 203 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: It's kind of like going to be like the flu. 204 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna have seasonal uh COVID and eighteen shots. Look, 205 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,319 Speaker 1: we talk two questions. The first question is coming into 206 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: perspective your role in what you had to play as 207 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: the host of the Doctors and COVID eighteen. And then 208 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 1: the long term will be my second of us living 209 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 1: with COVID. Yeah, two great questions. So the reason why 210 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: I agreed to host the show this year was because 211 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: if you think back before this year, there was a 212 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 1: lot of misinformation, a lot of you know, incredible discredible 213 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: information that was being disseminated from the White House on down, 214 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: and I felt like the country was confused and that 215 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: doctors and scientists were not leading the conversation. If you're 216 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: in a health crisis, the doctors and scientists need to 217 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: lead the discussion. If you're in a financial crisis, the 218 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: economists need to need to discussion. I mean, this is 219 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: just how it works. And so I felt like we 220 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: had spent a year spinning our wheels listening to all 221 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: kinds of nonsense, and so this to me personally, it 222 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: was a great opportunity to be on a big show 223 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 1: with a big, flat platform, to bring in experts to 224 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: talk about the issues. And I also wanted to bring 225 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: in diverse experts because experts come in all shapes and 226 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: sizes and all colors and background. So I wanted to 227 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 1: bring people from all walks of life and all experts 228 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 1: from all different voices to come in on the show, 229 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: So that, to me, person was very important, and I 230 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 1: think we did a great job of being able to 231 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 1: communicate to the rest of the country all things related 232 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: to COVID, whether it was vaccines, treatment, people who are 233 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: long haulers, how do you raise kids during COVID, how 234 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 1: do you date during COVID? All these topics were important 235 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: and I think that when I look back at my career, 236 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: this will have been a very important year because I 237 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: had some small say in shaping the conversation and around 238 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: COVID and and and dealing with COVID and also trying 239 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: to get people on air to talk about it an 240 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: incredible way. Now, when you look at the long term 241 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: of COVID, however, uh we're at We're at a very 242 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:16,119 Speaker 1: critical point here because people who have not gotten the vaccine, 243 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: a lot of them don't want to get the vaccine, 244 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: and we need to still reach what's called herd immunity, 245 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: which basically says that enough people have either gotten vaccinated 246 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: or been infected that the vast majority of the population 247 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: is immune to getting sick and infected again HERD immunity. Now, 248 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: there are two ways to get to hurt immunity. You 249 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,079 Speaker 1: can get there by vaccinating everybody. That's the fastest way 250 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: to do it, that's the less costly way to do 251 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 1: as far as life. If you vaccinate everybody, we save lives. 252 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 1: We get hurt immunity. But some people won't take the vaccine. 253 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 1: So what does that mean? We can still retrd immunity. 254 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: But what that means is the people who do not 255 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: want to take the vaccine eventually will get infected because 256 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: the virus is like the cold virus. It's just gonna 257 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: stay there, and so those who don't. So imagine a 258 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: hundred people, imagine eight people get the vaccine. That means 259 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: those eight people are protected. Now you've got twenty people. Okay, 260 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: these twenty people who do not want the vaccine. The 261 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: virus is going to circulate within them. And then once 262 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: you get infected, then you will have some type of immunity. 263 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 1: That's what happens, right, They'll get infected. If they survive, 264 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: they will have some immunity. We don't know how long 265 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: that immunity lasts. We don't know how long, how good 266 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: it is, but they will have some immunity, but what 267 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: about the people who get it and will die from 268 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,800 Speaker 1: So you're gonna reach herd immunity one way or the other. 269 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: I just think we should do it without losing a 270 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: lot more loss of life. It's finally here, the season 271 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 1: of celebration, and no matter how you celebrate with family 272 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: and friends, whether you're preparing for reis magos or Karamu 273 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: lighting the Manura, are going to midnight mass, Coals has 274 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: just what you need to make those traditions special.

Sometimes you don't know that 332 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: you are seven. You just somethings, just doing your job 333 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: like any doctor to do. When you go into the hospital, 334 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: I just feel your hospitals is the TV. Your hospital 335 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,199 Speaker 1: is social media, your hospital is a public medium, and 336 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: so you don't immediately see the results because you're not 337 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 1: there checking on us once a week, or we're not 338 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: coming in and checking on with you. But your voice 339 00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 1: as an African American talking to us, it's so important 340 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: that at this point for me to get you back 341 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: on my show, not only to promote your incredible book, 342 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,399 Speaker 1: because you've never failed me with your diet planes. I've 343 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: used them many times. And I've told you many times 344 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: when the book that I recommend my mother to use 345 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: your book and used just roll, I said, yes, she's 346 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 1: using it right now, Okay, and happen. And so what 347 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: is your role? And I am I putting too much 348 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: on your plate? No, no, you're not, you know it. Actually, 349 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: While I am happy on one hand, UM to hear 350 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: you being laudatory and complimentary about what I do and 351 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 1: it's impact on people, it's also very sad to me. 352 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: It's sad to me because there are a lot of 353 00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: other undiscovered doctor hens out there who are going to 354 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: be better than me at what I do, who are 355 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: equally educated, equally articulate, equally informative, and equally helpful. Uh. 356 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 1: And they're out there, brothers and sisters. Uh. And you know, 357 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: it's lonely being the only UM. And it shouldn't be 358 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: that way. We need to have more of our young 359 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: brothers and sisters be given the opportunity not to become DR, 360 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: even to be better than dr in Uh. You know, 361 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: I'll accept that I'm a pioneer in a way and 362 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: I but my hope is I've paved away for more. 363 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: I'm not one of those people who become successful and 364 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: then don't turn around uh and and not try to 365 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 1: help other people to get through the gates. I want 366 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,120 Speaker 1: as many of us to get to the gates as possible. 367 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: And I'm just hoping that in this in this this time, 368 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 1: this moment of racial awakening and awareness, that people will 369 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: reevaluate all aspects of our society and look at TV 370 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: and look at the people who we bring on to 371 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: talk about education and law and politics and medicine, and 372 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: realize we gotta have diverse voices talking. It just can't 373 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,400 Speaker 1: be the same people all the time. So while I've 374 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: been very blessed to have my platform, and you guys 375 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: invite me always to be on your platforms, there are 376 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 1: a lot of younger brothers and sisters who can do 377 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: the same thing, and I want them to have a chance. 378 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: As I said before the show started, listen, man, I'm 379 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: getting older. I've been doing this for almost twenty five years. 380 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 1: It's time for me to go out and play more 381 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: golf and be with my family. And I still write books. 382 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: But but I want to leave the stage and hand 383 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,479 Speaker 1: it off to somebody else. UM. But people who are 384 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: in charge of who gets on the stage need to 385 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 1: have the awareness, UM, and the open mindedness to bring 386 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 1: others in. And that's that's what's important to me, Rashan, 387 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: is that other people get a chance to voice. I 388 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: am not uniquely intelligent. There are other intelligent people who 389 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: have gone to great schools, who have great information, who 390 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 1: can say the same thing, if not saying in a 391 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: better way than I say. I want them to have 392 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: a voice and have an audience. I'm opening um that 393 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: when people look back on my career, they will say 394 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,959 Speaker 1: not how many bestsellers that I have in books, but 395 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: that they'll say, you know what, Dr Ian Smith was 396 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: a pioneer, and he opened the doors for all these 397 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: people to be able to come out and talk to 398 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: the world. Uh and represent us as African Americans and 399 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: a respectful, proud um and professional manner. Okay, cool, you 400 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: know as they said, you know you said some great things, sir, 401 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 1: Thank you. You know, you know you know, but I gotta, 402 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: I gotta. It's rebuttle on you. Those books that you 403 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: write are important because you're in African American and guess 404 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: what books are a number one because they were bought 405 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: by black people. So that means that you have you 406 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: have you have cleared the way as a pioneer for 407 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: people to respect medical advice, die advice, life advice from 408 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: a person that doesn't look like them. That's why you're important. 409 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: That's why I can't push you aside as you say, 410 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: I'm ready to go play golf. Got all that. That's 411 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: where vacations are far. Okay, we're talking about we're talking 412 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: about legacy creates a path. You know what I'm saying. 413 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: I'm talking about when I'm in trouble, I need my voice. 414 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,239 Speaker 1: You know, when I was growing up man before the 415 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: foul cheese and all the world. Dr Welby m D 416 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: you know my man, all right, And so these are 417 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: the things that we grow up on. I'm just saying 418 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: is that you have become an institution. And I'm just 419 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: telling you just slow down, Doc, okay, and realized be 420 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: appreciated with what I'm saying about. I know you are. 421 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: I know men, you go way back, but twenty five 422 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: years is just twenty five years now. Uh Now, if 423 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: you come on the show with show and come on 424 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: the show with the Pope barely gray beard and you're 425 00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: looking I'm saying it might be our last interview with 426 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: Dr Smith. He looked back. Can you find his twin brothers? 427 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 1: Does the Twain brother look like that twin brother? We 428 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 1: really got problems. But you're not doing that. You're stabilizing yourself. 429 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: And this is why I said you can't go away 430 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: because see now we're battling age because see what happens 431 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 1: is people stopped dreaming when they hit a certain age. 432 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: They started fifty go, I can't do that sixth decade. See, 433 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: I know it's seventy eight and eighty. You're still gonna 434 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,719 Speaker 1: be dr Ian Smith. We might be on book thirty 435 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: by the end, you might be you. You're gonna be 436 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: on another council. You're still telling us the direction and 437 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: the reason I look at you this way, the reason 438 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: I have to talk to you is this way. And 439 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: I know you're gonna of a comment about this, And 440 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: I wanted is that the next battle where you at 441 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: right now is letting people know age should not define 442 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 1: your dream? Am I correct about that? Let me tell 443 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: you something, uh statement I came up with recently that 444 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 1: I'm starting to like, and I say it more and more. 445 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: Even if you live to be a hundred, life is 446 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: still short. And by that I mean is that you 447 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: are never too old, uh to dream, to chase dreams, 448 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: to deform new dreams. Think about it. Life is so 449 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: short you should spend the entirety of your life in 450 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: the pursuit of fun and happiness and your dreams. And 451 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 1: it's not just about checking things off of a list 452 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 1: by the way because when I check some awful lists, 453 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: I add something else because that is what used to 454 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: me going. You want to you want to keep going. 455 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: So I agree with you that you know, as we age, 456 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 1: we tend to think, well, you know it's a different 457 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,879 Speaker 1: season of your life. Well, yeah, life is seasons. But 458 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,360 Speaker 1: that does not mean, Rashan, that you stop the pursuit, 459 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: that you stopped the dreaming, that you stopped looking up 460 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: at the stars and thinking and wondering. Those things I 461 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: think are the true texture and magic and beauty of 462 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: our life. What grows in the forest trees, Sure you 463 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: know what else grows in the forest, Our imagination, our 464 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: sense of wonder and our family bonds grow too, because 465 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: when we disconnect from this and connect with this, we 466 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: reconnect with each other.

The 496 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: Facebook group's name is called fast burn Challenge fast Burned Challenge, 497 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: And if you're not on Facebook, you can do it 498 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: through my Instagram which is at dr Ian Smith Spell 499 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 1: the Doctor out I A and Smith. Let me explain 500 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,359 Speaker 1: you the subtitle the power of negative Energy Balance in life. 501 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: We want positive energy. That's calm ex spiritual energy. This 502 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: is different. This is food energy. So food. When we 503 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: say calories in the food, that's measurement of food. Energy 504 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: in the food. Food is energy. And so when you 505 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: eat more calories then you burn off for sean, you 506 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: end up having what's called positive energy balance. You have 507 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: more calories than you burned off. The body has to 508 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 1: do something with that energy. Energy just doesn't disappear. That's 509 00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: not how it works. What does the body do with 510 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: that extra energy? It stores it as fat. Fat is 511 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: the storage form of energy. Okay, why do bears uh 512 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 1: you know gouge uh sorry, gorge on food before winter comes, 513 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: before hibernation. They do that because they're eating eating, eating, eating, 514 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: and they're getting fatter and fatter and fatter the blubber 515 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: because they're gonna eat that blubber during the winter when 516 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 1: their food source is very scarce. Well, same thing with 517 00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: our body. Our body will take the extra energy and 518 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 1: put it as fat. Now that's positive energy balance. What 519 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 1: you want to be, however, is the negative energy value 520 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 1: then bounced just the opposite, so and fast firm. You're 521 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 1: still gonna have all your meals and all your snacks, However, 522 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: the amount of energy you get from them will not 523 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: be enough to meet the demands of your body's energy needs. 524 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: So your body has to find the energy from somewhere. 525 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:56,560 Speaker 1: It says, where do I go to get energy? Oh? 526 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: There I go. It goes into the fat stores. It 527 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,280 Speaker 1: takes the fat, it melts it or breaks it down, 528 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: it converts it into fuel that your body can use. 529 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: So when you're in a negative energy balanced state, that 530 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: is when you drive into those fat stores and break 531 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 1: that fat down. And that's why I'm fast burned. Not 532 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: only are people losing fifteen and seventeen pounds on average 533 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 1: and nine weeks, but they're noticing six seven eight inches 534 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,359 Speaker 1: gone around their midsection because the book is putting them 535 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: into this negative energy balanced state. Now that's that's great. Now, 536 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: But you broke the book down into three parts, and 537 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: we know it's nine weeks, it's four one week that 538 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,719 Speaker 1: is the middle week is worn, and it's four the 539 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: closest eye. It's called ignition, intermission, and acceleration. Why are 540 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 1: these keywords in the whole process of the nine week 541 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 1: diet program. Well, because the idea is imagining the analogy 542 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,360 Speaker 1: of a car. So the first four weeks are the ignition. 543 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: You're just starting, you're just getting going, and so people 544 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: slowly make changes. Remember this is not about being a 545 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: diet this is about teaching you lifestyle changes. So people 546 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: for the first four weeks are just learning how to 547 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: eat differently, how to move differently. So it slowly takes 548 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,119 Speaker 1: you in there so that it sticks. When you do 549 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: things too fast and too dramatic, people tend not to 550 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: hold onto it. But I slowly do it for the 551 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 1: first four weeks, and by the way, people lose about 552 00:28:13,440 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: their total weight loss for the nine weeks in those 553 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 1: first four weeks. Right then, the middle is intermission. It 554 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: is what it says, it's a break. You take a week, 555 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: you relax a little bit, reassess where things are, try 556 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: to put into practice some things you've learned over the 557 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 1: first four weeks, and you're good to go. Now the 558 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: last four weeks is acceleration, pedal to the metal. That's 559 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: what we're really driving into our fat stores, really melting 560 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,239 Speaker 1: that fat, really losing the weight, really getting into that 561 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: that nice sculpted look, that change in appearance, and the 562 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 1: change and how we feel situation, and so that's what 563 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: the acceleration is. Those are the nine weeks. If you 564 00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: hit your target, you put the book up, and now 565 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: you learn how to make the right decisions. If you 566 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 1: haven't hit your target, you do another cycle until you 567 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: need to get until you've gotten all the way off 568 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 1: that you wanted. But that is how the built the 569 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: book is built. Well, this is your twenty book. I 570 00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: just gotta ask this question, what have you learned in 571 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: each book? Because each one has a different take, a 572 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: different chemical makeup, of different reason why you're attacking. They're 573 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 1: never the same book. I can attest to that they 574 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: all have a different scope of knowledge that you're providing 575 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: us about our bodies. What have you learned from from 576 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,800 Speaker 1: book to book? This book I learned that number one, 577 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 1: that people are able to do different types of intermittent fasting. 578 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: That even though the science may say that time restricted 579 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: feeding is the best type of intimittent fasting for results, 580 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 1: that that doesn't work for everyone. Everyone can't necessarily follow 581 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 1: that plan. That's why I used the five two method 582 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: in the book. Also, so I learned that people need 583 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: to choose an intimitt and fasting strategy that works for 584 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 1: best for them. The other thing I learned is that 585 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,840 Speaker 1: you actually can keep into a program some of the 586 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: won't call them cheap foods, but some of the fun 587 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: foods that people enjoy. You can still keep them in 588 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: a program, but keep them in a way that people 589 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 1: do not feel deprived, but they also are not over indulging, 590 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 1: and you can still help them lose weight with the 591 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: whole process of this. Uh, just a little little little 592 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: publicity here, I know you said the word listening. Now 593 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: I'm now on in television. I have my own network 594 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: that I'm own in Atlanta, Georgia, So hopefully I get 595 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: more sales for years on the A I B t 596 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: V two million homes in northern Georgia. And so I 597 00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: just love the fact that I'm talking to a friend, 598 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: and I tease you when you talk about that old talk, 599 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 1: I'll get tired. You know, man, We're gonna be interviewing 600 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,719 Speaker 1: each other and helping each other, supporting each other. Because 601 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: when I talk to you, man, and and we both 602 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: have seen our journeys and and I just smile when 603 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: I see your journey every time, because it's tied to 604 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: hard work. And I just like for you to close 605 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,520 Speaker 1: and to everybody know that, you know, we all have 606 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: dreams and all this seems like you were saying there 607 00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: are other dr Ian Smith's out there, but guess what, 608 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: There's only one dr Ian Smith. And that's what it 609 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: allows me to say that you are a blessing and 610 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 1: you have to continue to win. With that being said, 611 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 1: what are your closing thoughts? My closing thoughts are very simple. 612 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 1: That life is very fragile and very precious, and when 613 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 1: you value life, your own life, that means you automatically 614 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: value the life of others. That we have to live 615 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: and and comport ourselves in a way where we're respectful 616 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,880 Speaker 1: to our other lives and to the environment, but also 617 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: that we are always chasing. We're chasing to be better, 618 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: We're chasing to be happy. We're chasing to fulfill our dreams. 619 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 1: When you have that type of drive in your life, 620 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: every day you get up like I do, and you 621 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: say to yourself, I'm gonna squeeze the most out of 622 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: this day because tomorrow is not promised to any of us. 623 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: So I thank you for being your friend.
