Speaker 2: American process, all of us. Street Shot No Chaser with

Speaker 2: Street Shot No Chaser on the Black Effect Podcast Network.
Speaker 2: Shout out to the Black and Effect Family podcast family.
Speaker 2: Five years in the game. I think I should do
Speaker 2: maybe some kind of event or something. Maybe we should
Speaker 2: do something to celebrate, uh this year at the end
Speaker 2: of the year on just celebrating five years and you know,
Speaker 2: I'm so excited about law school. Guys, thank you for
Speaker 2: the journey. So we are here again, uh with my Marcellus.
Speaker 2: He's my Marcellus. I can tease him, y'all can't, but
Speaker 2: just love having him join me on the show. I
Speaker 2: love his spirit and just you know, being here as
Speaker 2: we continue to try to sort through this crazy season
Speaker 2: that we're in. And guys, please ask somebody to uh
Speaker 2: I be you know, I'll be looking at everybody say
Speaker 2: they got a million down lows. Laura la Rosa got
Speaker 2: a million down lows. It takes me a year to
Speaker 2: get to my million, but she got hers right away.
Speaker 2: And ain't nobody man shout out to Lauren covering pop culture.
Speaker 2: You guys just flock to that stuff. We're just you know,
Speaker 2: in the business of we do the stuff that it's
Speaker 2: not as popular, you know, and but I love the
Speaker 2: work that we do. It's sustainable, it's over time. It
Speaker 2: is a niche. I'm not switching up. One minute, I'm
Speaker 2: talking about politics, next minute, I'm talking about who daya
Speaker 2: do you know, all that kind of stuff. A lot
Speaker 2: of people in the YouTube space and I'm not talking
Speaker 2: about Lauren. I'm just saying in the YouTube space they
Speaker 2: have to constantly, you know, keep up with drama in
Speaker 2: order to keep the views and all that. And that's
Speaker 2: what I love. Marcella's about the podcast space because the
Speaker 2: way black Efake is set up. Although we want people
Speaker 2: to subscribe, follow and all of that, but we are
Speaker 2: as far as our advertiser is concerned, they look at
Speaker 2: us as a whole, you know, as a unit, you know,
Speaker 2: as a group together, So it doesn't I don't have
Speaker 2: to feel I have to be sensational you know every week,
Speaker 2: you know, to get people to click. And I really
Speaker 2: appreciate that because it really just allows me to do
Speaker 2: whatever I want to do on this podcast. Say whatever
Speaker 2: I want to say, have a long I want to
Speaker 2: say it, I want to go. If I want to
Speaker 2: do five podcasts a day, I can. I can talk
Speaker 2: about whatever I want to talk about. It is just
Speaker 2: really really a huge blessing and I will as long
Speaker 2: as they will have me, this will always be a
Speaker 2: tool that I will use because again, guys, it is
Speaker 2: an actual podcast on iHeart with a contract with our Heart,
Speaker 2: which is the largest audio platform in the world. And
Speaker 2: I've used this platform for so many different things, Marcella's
Speaker 2: my One of my favorite things that I've done with
Speaker 2: this platform is when I did the ten I don't
Speaker 2: know remember that, but I did a series ten podcast
Speaker 2: series that went to the prisons and I partnered with
Speaker 2: the George Floyd Foundation and I did ten episodes training episodes.
Speaker 2: Uh that What that actually went to is, I don't
Speaker 2: they're not iPads, but they're similar to that in the prison,
Speaker 2: you know, they can download and listen stuff. And partner
Speaker 2: with a company that did that, and that was my
Speaker 2: favorite thing.
Speaker 1: To do.
Speaker 2: I did an episode on Spud who was talking about,
Speaker 2: you know, how he wrote a book in prison, how
Speaker 2: he trans you know, when he got out of prison,
Speaker 2: what that was like. I had a psychiatrist on, you know,
Speaker 2: talking about mental health. I had a correctional officer that
Speaker 2: I visit that that I interviewed. Yeah, this is really good.
Speaker 2: That talked about, you know, what you need to do
Speaker 2: to not crash out, basically, you know when you come home.
Speaker 2: I had a spiritual advisor talk about it. I had
Speaker 2: another guy, Lewis who served ten years and talked about
Speaker 2: his transition. That was my favorite thing to do because,
Speaker 2: as y'all see, I loved training. I love training, so
Speaker 2: I'm always wanting to train. And I hope that as
Speaker 2: you listen to my podcast, although I'm talking about the news,
Speaker 2: I'm always doing it from a training lens of telling
Speaker 2: you what not to do, how to do, and how
Speaker 2: to apply to your everyday life and if you aspire
Speaker 2: to do the work that I do. So I'm excited
Speaker 2: about that. I'm excited about having this opportunity of black
Speaker 2: and fair. With that said, just a quick announcement, but
Speaker 2: I gotta say every week, make sure you're enrolling the
Speaker 2: training June fourteenth. If you miss the June fourteenth class,
Speaker 2: it is not over. Go back and still enroll in
Speaker 2: course one. You'll have about three weeks to watch Course
Speaker 2: one before we go into course two. I do want
Speaker 2: to give people time to go back and watch it
Speaker 2: because I want to recruit some new folks. But then
Speaker 2: after that, Marcella said, y'all better just get ready because
Speaker 2: we move it on wings, keep breaking it up waiting,
Speaker 2: don't you. We're gonna do it every couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: I do start law school August fifth, Yes, thank you,
Speaker 2: So I can anticipate a whole lot of information being
Speaker 2: thrown at me fast. But I do want to at
Speaker 2: the very least try to push to have uh, well,
Speaker 2: I know, course three done by August, because if we
Speaker 2: give about three weeks for Course one June fourteenth, do
Speaker 2: that second one, you know, in the middle of July,
Speaker 2: we can do that third one at the end of
Speaker 2: July and at least have that done, and then we're
Speaker 2: four and five knocked out, you know, in August. So
Speaker 2: that way I have the five done as I really get,
Speaker 2: you know, heavy into my first semester of law school,
Speaker 2: which is a challenge a lot of reading, and then
Speaker 2: at least, you know, we have that going and then
Speaker 2: I can start doing the breakoff stuff where it's just
Speaker 2: you know, one hour webinar, you know, and get that done.
Speaker 2: So we're gonna get through those five courses at the
Speaker 2: like I said, very least it'll be the end of August,
Speaker 2: we'll be done with all five.
Speaker 3: Did you have a question, Yeah, I'm gonna ask you,
Speaker 3: so what was your your your moment when you knew
Speaker 3: you wanted to start, you know, your own training.
Speaker 2: Well, I've always had my own training. So even when
Speaker 2: I I've always been a trainer, I've always I'm in
Speaker 2: a supervisor's role in a I've been a trainers in
Speaker 2: the second grade, fifth grade. I'm always trying to teach
Speaker 2: and learn. And I'm a natural teacher. I'm a leader.
Speaker 2: I'm a you know, uh, preachers are teachers. So when
Speaker 2: I say I'm a bootleg preacher, I'm always teaching. It's
Speaker 2: not about me realizing it. It's just, you know, truly
Speaker 2: who I am. It is where I am the most rewarded.
Speaker 2: But to answer your question on when I recognize the gift,
Speaker 2: because there's a big difference. It's not about what I
Speaker 2: want to do. You know, talk about that all the time.
Speaker 2: It's not about what I want to do. It's about
Speaker 2: what I've been called to do. And I would say
Speaker 2: the moment that I recognized that I could consume information
Speaker 2: and translated were people could understand it. That was at
Speaker 2: University of North Texas, and I remember very well. It
Speaker 2: was in a human resources class, and it was the
Speaker 2: first time I was an older student to me, older
Speaker 2: twenty two to twenty three to me, you know, I
Speaker 2: was married, and I still when you compare, you know,
Speaker 2: everybody else is eighteen nineteen. I still was an older student.
Speaker 2: Looking back at it now, I was a baby, but
Speaker 2: I thought I was. I called myself an older student
Speaker 2: because it was non traditional. You know, I didn't go
Speaker 2: I was married and you know, working and going to school.
Speaker 2: And I was so excited about class Marcella's because I
Speaker 2: didn't get a chance like Jada to just go straight
Speaker 2: to college like that. You know. I went to the
Speaker 2: military and then I just wanted to you know, pay
Speaker 2: my own bills and I'll just take three hours here
Speaker 2: or there the community college. And it took cover a
Speaker 2: decade plus to finish. So guys push your kids to
Speaker 2: just go ahead and go and get it out the way.
Speaker 2: If they say, oh, I'll defer a year, and no,
Speaker 2: if they defer that year, more than likely they may
Speaker 2: not ever finish, or to take them twenty year, they'll
Speaker 2: be regretting it. Just push them. I don't care what
Speaker 2: they say. Make their choice. My damn that you going.
Speaker 2: I was by having a conversation with my girlfriend Ebony
Speaker 2: because we were watching that series Forever, which I love,
Speaker 2: and you know, she's saying, well, yeah, I can see
Speaker 2: you know if Liberty, because she has a brand new baby,
Speaker 2: you know, if she wants to take off a year,
Speaker 2: we'll look out, said Abdey. I'm telling you from experience
Speaker 2: because Abonue went straight through, so she was pushed to
Speaker 2: go straight through. So she's thinking, oh, you know, be liberal.
Speaker 2: I say, you gonna see it differently when she get older.
Speaker 2: But I can tell you from experience that take off
Speaker 2: a year and turns into fifteen. It can absolutely turn
Speaker 2: into fifteen. Get it done out the way, knock out
Speaker 2: the four years. Then after that take off time or whatever,
Speaker 2: you're gonna explore. But you're gonna be exploring with that
Speaker 2: college degree. See Okay, Okay here.
Speaker 3: Look see I'm still I don't know. I'm still man
Speaker 3: my mom for that cause when I graduated, she had
Speaker 3: the same mind, said as you, Oh, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: you going to college right now. And I was like, no,
Speaker 3: I don't want to go to college right now. I
Speaker 3: just got done with high school. I'm tired, I want
Speaker 3: I need a break. And she was like, okay, so
Speaker 3: you're gonna You're gonna go to school in January, and
Speaker 3: I felt I felt like I ain't had no choice
Speaker 3: because I was in the house. I had to do
Speaker 3: what she what she wanted me to do. But I
Speaker 3: didn't really want to go to college, but she wanted
Speaker 3: me to go to college. And to this day, I
Speaker 3: still don't like that.
Speaker 2: That she pushed for what so? What it was pushed
Speaker 2: on for your betterment? So for what so? If you
Speaker 2: wouldn't have did it, what was the option? What was
Speaker 2: the other option? Whatever it is you wanted to do
Speaker 2: after that, you could do that now, So what the
Speaker 2: hell are you talking about? Because I'm feeling I'm like, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: we're gonna push you to be better. I'm gonna push
Speaker 2: you to be better. So what was it?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 2: I just don't like this, So what not come home?
Speaker 2: Welcome home? Is you wanted to do? After that? Get
Speaker 2: to what you can do it? Right now? Are you
Speaker 2: doing what you want to.
Speaker 1: Do right now?
Speaker 2: What was the alternative? If you just don't like it
Speaker 2: because she told you to do something which you want Marcellas,
Speaker 2: because the people wait.
Speaker 3: No, like she, I just feel like she never asked,
Speaker 3: well what do you want to do?
Speaker 2: It was like, okay, so I'm mad. So whatever you
Speaker 2: want to do, why you ain't doing it now? Well,
Speaker 2: I feel like I've been called to do what I'm
Speaker 2: doing now. Sorry, so what but it'll get to where
Speaker 2: you Where are you at now? It still happened, didn't it?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: So then what the hell are you talking about? Your
Speaker 2: asked need everything every box possible. See, guys, this is
Speaker 2: here we go again with this for Marcella's. Let me
Speaker 2: go back to answer the question when you said, when
Speaker 2: I realized when I was in the class and I
Speaker 2: was so excited about school because I knew that I
Speaker 2: should have just went straightforward. I didn't have any kids,
Speaker 2: nothing w stopped me. I just wanted to, you know,
Speaker 2: pay my own bills, like Marcella's. I want to pay
Speaker 2: my own bills and I went to the military and
Speaker 2: all that. So I was just elated to actually have
Speaker 2: the opportunity to sit in the seat. See people like
Speaker 2: Marcella's that had opportunity, they don't know like to not
Speaker 2: have the opportunity. So he just I don't feel like it.
Speaker 2: You know, she was in fight it to be like, man,
Speaker 2: I can actually sit in a class in the middle
Speaker 2: of the day because I was married, so I had
Speaker 2: support at that point. You know, I wasn't able to
Speaker 2: do it the other way. I wish some mother had
Speaker 2: pushed me in that way, because she definitely her mama
Speaker 2: pushed her. You know when she went to O State.
Speaker 2: She didn't push me like that. She said, Okay, that's
Speaker 2: what you want to do. That's fine, And I wish
Speaker 2: the same way. You go back and wish I wish
Speaker 2: you would have done it. I wish mine would have
Speaker 2: did that when I go back, because it took me
Speaker 2: twenty some years to finish the hard way. I would
Speaker 2: have been much further ahead, much more I could have
Speaker 2: done in my business if at least I would have
Speaker 2: had the academic out the way, you know, if that
Speaker 2: part would have been checked off the lists, I could
Speaker 2: have spent more time on other things trying to balance
Speaker 2: that and have a baby, be married, this and that
Speaker 2: all life responsibility. Get the Batchelor's degree and knock it
Speaker 2: on out the way, and then go on and struggle
Speaker 2: nowhereas you have plenty time to struggle because you're struggling now.
Speaker 2: So it wasn't gonna be no different. Oh yeah, I
Speaker 2: really wanted to be an acroback dancer. If you want
Speaker 2: to do be acroback dancer in the circus or whatever
Speaker 2: you thought you wanted to do, you can do it.
Speaker 2: After car let's get this checkbox done. But to answer
Speaker 2: your question, when people would wait for me after class,
Speaker 2: like a line Marcella's of people saying can you explain
Speaker 2: to her? Once it started getting around and I could
Speaker 2: explain to people, it would literally be a line and
Speaker 2: I'll be like, which I went on because we needed
Speaker 2: you to explaining, to explain to it, and I'll be okay,
Speaker 2: da da, like okay, you know I do now, I said, Okay,
Speaker 2: it's kind of like da da da da Okay. I
Speaker 2: got it. Because we were trying to learn for a
Speaker 2: shared human resources and it was a lot of complex information.
Speaker 2: And that's when I learned like, oh, I'm kind of
Speaker 2: smart because I wasn't the nerd in school, you know,
Speaker 2: or the one all in the book.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: I did enough to get by, you know, be a
Speaker 2: cheer leader, to keep my two point or whatever. But
Speaker 2: I wasn't excited about knowledge. When I went back as
Speaker 2: a as a returning student and grasp it, you know,
Speaker 2: was I could grasp the information, and then when I
Speaker 2: was able to teach it to others, I was like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: this feels good because I'm actually you know, teaching and training.
Speaker 2: So that's what I knew I had that gift. I've
Speaker 2: always been a leader leadership, you know, leading people. That's
Speaker 2: a part of teaching as well. It's not just teaching,
Speaker 2: but it's also by leading. And so when you rock
Speaker 2: with me is because I'm empowering you through my leadership
Speaker 2: to want to be better. And what you didn't like
Speaker 2: about what your mom did that wasn't empowering to you
Speaker 2: was like telling you you need to do it. It
Speaker 2: wasn't like, well, let's sit down and let's see. But
Speaker 2: you did not know enough. Marcellis you them? And I'm
Speaker 2: glad Jada is just excited about school that we didn't
Speaker 2: have to go down that road because the bottom line
Speaker 2: is every checkbox that black people have to check you need.
Speaker 2: There is no if ands and butts about it. You
Speaker 2: need the checkbox. You got a degree, yep, you got
Speaker 2: a skill, yep. Can you show up, you got trantation, yep.
Speaker 2: There is not a box that you can afford to unchecked. Literally,
Speaker 2: there's just not a box you can afford to not
Speaker 2: have because everything in the system is designed to put
Speaker 2: you out the system. Everything. Oh we was just gonna
Speaker 2: give it to you, but you didn't have a degree.
Speaker 2: Oh we were just gonna give it to you, but
Speaker 2: you didn't have transportation. Oh we were just gonna give
Speaker 2: it to you, but you got a kid. Oh we're
Speaker 2: just gonna give it to you, but you got a background.
Speaker 2: Oh We've just gonna give it to you, but you
Speaker 2: don't live close. Everything is designed to put you out
Speaker 2: the system. So we cannot afford, which is why black
Speaker 2: men's data is the way that it is. You can't
Speaker 2: afford to get a felony, to get a misdemeanor, to
Speaker 2: to do this, to do that, to not have an
Speaker 2: education and not have a skill, to not it's too
Speaker 2: many down knots would set you up for failure. What
Speaker 2: you mean she didn't ask what I want to me?
Speaker 2: That's just the most important. That's like me saying why
Speaker 2: mom didn't ask me? Ibo, I didn't want to put
Speaker 2: my hand and in the electric socket and you just
Speaker 2: to this day. I don't like it. We'll get over it.
Speaker 2: I'm here. I'm here to tell you to get over it,
Speaker 2: because even with a degree, we're still struggling. You're still struggling.
Speaker 2: So what you think would have been like without it
Speaker 2: any better? So we can't do nothing but help you
Speaker 2: if it's gonna do anything, can't do nothing but to
Speaker 2: help you, even if it's not helping you. Now, it's
Speaker 2: a better chance to help you than hurt you. That's
Speaker 2: for damn sure. We know it to help you before
Speaker 2: it to hurt you. So what is the hurt? And
Speaker 2: you accomplishing something? We waiting on you myself. I don't
Speaker 2: feel I just I don't know. I just I just
Speaker 2: feel like I don't know.
Speaker 3: Maybe just I just feel like she didn't she never
Speaker 3: knew like what I actually wanted to do. It was
Speaker 3: just she just told me what I'm gonna do.
Speaker 2: So I just I don't know, well, just what you
Speaker 2: got you right now, you can still do what you
Speaker 2: y ain't nobody stopping you. They didn't take no time
Speaker 2: away from you and didn't know whatever. I Yes, we
Speaker 2: can do better about saying hey, you know what, are
Speaker 2: you interested in having conversations? But I ain't got time
Speaker 2: to play with your life? And I'm being serious, like
Speaker 2: I'm not joking. This is about your life, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. Some of this ain't gonna be no
Speaker 2: on the job training. Like I told Jada, some of
Speaker 2: this ain't gonna be no. Well, you know she got
Speaker 2: to learn on our own. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Some of this is gonna be you. Yeah, I'm telling
Speaker 2: your ass And you can just look back when you
Speaker 2: get old and say, thank you Mama for praying for me,
Speaker 2: thank you for looking out for me, thank you for
Speaker 2: knowing what I didn't know, thank you for still pushing
Speaker 2: and even though my rebellion wanted to go another way.
Speaker 2: And then Marcella's you can thank God for being an
Speaker 2: obedient child to your mother's so the Lord can bless you.
Speaker 2: That's why I bless you. You be obedient, even if you
Speaker 2: don't like it, Be obedient because a child that is
Speaker 2: not obedient. Days will be long and hard, much longer,
Speaker 2: harder than they are now. She didn't want you having
Speaker 2: to deal with you've mentioned other people in your family.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to throw their names out there, but
Speaker 2: you mentioned some people in their family with them records
Speaker 2: and all that shit. Can't get a place to stay,
Speaker 2: can't get to that. She wanted you to not have
Speaker 2: to go down that path. So the nerve of you
Speaker 2: to sit on the phone with me that McDonald don't
Speaker 2: want me what you didn't like, Let me correct it
Speaker 2: for your mama. Who gives a damn what you like.
Speaker 2: I don't want I don't want to like seeing you
Speaker 2: in no casket. I don't want to see you homeless.
Speaker 2: I don't want to see you not have you a
Speaker 2: black man in America? What how many options do you
Speaker 2: think you that you can afford to turn down? Were
Speaker 2: waiting on you, Marcella. Don't be sitting up staring at
Speaker 2: the thing. I want how many options you think you
Speaker 2: got you can afford to turn down? As you compete
Speaker 2: with these white men who are born with money, who
Speaker 2: are born with power, who are born with the skin,
Speaker 2: who are borned with all that, and they going to
Speaker 2: get all of that, and y'all sitting around and talking
Speaker 2: about what y'all don't want. Seventy percent of people black
Speaker 2: people on the road in college are women. That's crazy.
Speaker 2: That's why we behind, like literally behind. And people's argument, well,
Speaker 2: you can't do nothing with it, Well you damn show it.
Speaker 2: Damn show ain't gonna hurt you. And whatever it is
Speaker 2: you want to do, you can do it with a degree.
Speaker 2: You want to be a content creator, be a content
Speaker 2: creator with a degree. You want to be a DJ,
Speaker 2: Be a DJ with a degree, be whatever it is.
Speaker 2: That's such thing as being two things. Marcella's you know
Speaker 2: that you can be two things. Q asked me the
Speaker 2: other day, you know what, why go to law school?
Speaker 2: I've had this question a couple of times. You know,
Speaker 2: I already see you on those spaces. You've already accomplished
Speaker 2: so much, right See, the goal is to continue to accomplish.
Speaker 2: The goal is it ain't good enough to just be
Speaker 2: the advisor with being crumped because I could just flex
Speaker 2: on that. No, I want my esteemed colleague, why not
Speaker 2: have the paperwork like he got the paperwork. I don't
Speaker 2: want to sit around and say, like the episode. We said, well,
Speaker 2: don't matter, I do as much work as him. No, no, no,
Speaker 2: I want the paperwork. You can't just be satisfied with
Speaker 2: just being the pair of legal. If you know you
Speaker 2: good enough to be the attorney. Now, if you just
Speaker 2: want to be the pair of legal, ain't nothing wrong
Speaker 2: with that, guys, you know, nothing wrong with hey. Right now,
Speaker 2: radio is an A MIC and a B MIC. You
Speaker 2: on the B MIC. A lot of people go to
Speaker 2: school to be B Mike, you know, go through a
Speaker 2: lot of shit to be Miike. You want to B
Speaker 2: mic because I just rock with you. So you are
Speaker 2: a favorite to be able to just jump up on
Speaker 2: a national show. Everybody don't don't get those opportunities. Marcella's
Speaker 2: So things that are for you are going to be,
Speaker 2: you know, for you. But at the end of the day,
Speaker 2: you want to have that and then some That's what's
Speaker 2: wrong right now when the tariffs are coming, Because the
Speaker 2: tariffs are coming and all these people that's getting laid
Speaker 2: off and do for self, and all I gotta do
Speaker 2: is go on YouTube, and all I gotta do is
Speaker 2: this or that. Well, some of y'all gonna need some
Speaker 2: skill sets besides just that going to do some accounting,
Speaker 2: some ap some aar, some data entry, and they're gonna
Speaker 2: continue to keep making it harder to get menial jobs.
Speaker 2: Marcella's they gonna keep making it hard, making it harder
Speaker 2: and harder. That's the goal, to put us out the game.
Speaker 2: This is not about we are not in the era
Speaker 2: of what you want to do. We are in the
Speaker 2: era what you must do. Like you said up the
Speaker 2: hill walking up there, we in an era you must
Speaker 2: have it. And this is why, guys, I'm reducing a
Speaker 2: lot of time that y'all see on TV every down
Speaker 2: and then pop up and do it. But I close
Speaker 2: out the show with this. Last week was my last
Speaker 2: on camera role with Revot. I am still the managing
Speaker 2: editor for those of y'all who don't know, the managing
Speaker 2: editor for Revote News the posts you see every day
Speaker 2: and editing knows and curating those stories and still the
Speaker 2: cheap little correspondent. We will do some one off shows
Speaker 2: every now and then, you know, as I re locate
Speaker 2: to Orlando, we'll do shows that make sense. But it
Speaker 2: is strictly you know, behind the scenes. For those who
Speaker 2: don't know, guys, I did relocate to Atlanta I got
Speaker 2: a spot in Atlanta. I'm here now. But it was
Speaker 2: a lot, you know, going back and forth and back
Speaker 2: and forth. I'm starting law school. I don't have to come.
Speaker 2: I was gonna prepare to do it, you know, fly
Speaker 2: in every week and finish the show. But we were
Speaker 2: able to, you know, make it make sense. My goal
Speaker 2: really was just to you know, the first six months
Speaker 2: of the Trump administration, you know, to be there to
Speaker 2: give some commentary, to lay some good things out. We're
Speaker 2: able to do that. I've done several series will Revote, guys.
Speaker 2: I'll do like ten episodes with tens on ten and
Speaker 2: then we did ten or twelve with the election. I
Speaker 2: did about ten episodes with some voting stuff in twenty twenty.
Speaker 2: So I've always worked with them in you know, little series,
Speaker 2: not ongoing year round five years straight. You know, it
Speaker 2: just doesn't work like that. So this was a great,
Speaker 2: a great little six month series. We shut that down.
Speaker 2: My goodbye speech last week on Revote. But I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna lie to you, Marcella's I really just want to
Speaker 2: I love behind the scenes. I love what I do
Speaker 2: with the company. They value me beautiful roles. It's always
Speaker 2: been very good to me, I love the behind the
Speaker 2: scenes and really just the podcast, to be honest with you,
Speaker 2: because all my attention has to focus on training and
Speaker 2: getting people the information that they need. I do not
Speaker 2: like the Instagram YouTube, you know, trying to keep up
Speaker 2: with views and influencers and everybody's a host. And that's
Speaker 2: why I don't do my YouTube page like I should.
Speaker 2: I should, but I'm just gonna be honest with you guys.
Speaker 2: There's no entry level, like no entry point. Anybody can
Speaker 2: just go on live. Y'all got too many shows for me, Like,
Speaker 2: it's just too many shows. Too many the Marcella's Road Shoulder,
Speaker 2: this show that everybody, you know what I'm saying. Everybody
Speaker 2: got a show, and I'm not mad at it. It's
Speaker 2: just it's too much. There's no distinction between anything. You
Speaker 2: don't know who the expert is and who is not,
Speaker 2: and you know, I just I just don't like it.
Speaker 2: I also don't like confusion of people actually thinking, like
Speaker 2: a debate that I had with somebody last week of
Speaker 2: my platform beginning, I got more viewers in you girl,
Speaker 2: I don can pete with viewers, you know, so like
Speaker 2: I don't that don't work for me. Let's just go
Speaker 2: ahead and focus on the law school. Make sure the
Speaker 2: law firm is built up. Let's make sure the train
Speaker 2: is built up, and let's rock with this podcast and
Speaker 2: pop in every down in a Revolt and pop in
Speaker 2: every down there with Fox News, and that's it. Marcella's like,
Speaker 2: I just want to train people. I don't. I don't
Speaker 2: need the masses two three four million. You know, that's
Speaker 2: great and fun to do, but that's really not my goal.
Speaker 2: Give me three four or five hundred people that I
Speaker 2: can turn into a Christy Williams, that I can turn
Speaker 2: into a Marcella's. But I can turn That's where I
Speaker 2: find my greatest joy. That's where I find my greatest joy. Guys,
Speaker 2: it really is building you. Of course, I have to
Speaker 2: post on Instagram, and I got to, you know, got
Speaker 2: to have some social capital, no doubt. But I have
Speaker 2: never you know, chased the algorithm. Charlemagne said, don't chase
Speaker 2: the algorithm. Be the algorithm, and what he means by
Speaker 2: that is be authentic to yourself. I don't want to
Speaker 2: chase the algorithm. I on this podcast, I don't have
Speaker 2: to talk about every solacious thing going on, you know,
Speaker 2: in order to keep this contract. I can just talk
Speaker 2: about like what's really important and finding a niche of
Speaker 2: folks that rock with me on that that is the key.
Speaker 2: It's also the key to train of politics. Guys. If
Speaker 2: you look at somebody's race and you look at a commissioner,
Speaker 2: they don't get all six hundred thousand people to the post.
Speaker 2: They get twelve hundred and fifteen hundred their best right,
Speaker 2: and when they serve those twelve fifteen hundred their best,
Speaker 2: they will keep electing them over and over and over
Speaker 2: because you're not gonna satisfy six hundred thousand people, they're
Speaker 2: not even engaged. Find your niche, find your people, rock
Speaker 2: with your people, rock with your tribe. And that's it.
Speaker 2: And again it's not shitting on anybody on YouTube because
Speaker 2: many people have done it where they got a tribe
Speaker 2: of people. You know it's gonna every time. If you
Speaker 2: look at Funky don Neva, every time every day he
Speaker 2: go live every day at seven o'clock, he put in
Speaker 2: the hours, so every day he doing two hours a day.
Speaker 2: Soon as he go on, ten thousand people watching next
Speaker 2: day thirty forty thousand views. You know, they watch the replay.
Speaker 2: It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. But he did it
Speaker 2: over fourteen years. Yeah he had to build it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: he had to build it. I don't want to build
Speaker 2: on YouTube and that way. And it pays very well,
Speaker 2: by the way, when you build it like that. Yes
Speaker 2: it does, It really really does. But everything is not
Speaker 2: about pay to me, right, I'd rather focus on law
Speaker 2: school and go teach you at the university. I don't
Speaker 2: want to be with views. And I'm telling you, God,
Speaker 2: this stuff is getting saturated and it's just getting ridiculous,
Speaker 2: and YouTube is gonna start You're gonna start seeing it
Speaker 2: in your pocket. You're gonna start seeing people getting stupider
Speaker 2: and stupid and stupider because everybody's just you know, oh,
Speaker 2: I'll just go do that. People leave it to a man.
Speaker 2: Just keep main content, keep main content. People just scrolling
Speaker 2: all day, just scrolling, scroll and scrolling. It's almost like zombies,
Speaker 2: like you know what I mean. It's just it's real
Speaker 2: scary if you think about it, Like when people just
Speaker 2: sit up all day and just consume videos and skits
Speaker 2: and skits and skit and everybody, Let me do a skit,
Speaker 2: Let me do a skit, Let me do a skit.
Speaker 2: Let me just skit, you know, and just getting stupider
Speaker 2: and stupider, and women getting more and more provocative, you know,
Speaker 2: more and more. What can I do? What's the stupidest
Speaker 2: thing I can do? What's the funniest thing that I
Speaker 2: can do? And they're putting there all into that and
Speaker 2: not putting time into an actual skill set, you know,
Speaker 2: being a barber or a carpenter or whatever. Put that
Speaker 2: time into that. You know, I'll redirect you and Jade
Speaker 2: all the time. Stop worrying about revolting, wearing about all
Speaker 2: of that. Worry about this training. Build this training up.
Speaker 2: That's where you're gonna get your extra income. That's where
Speaker 2: you're gonna get the job. That's what we actually can control.
Speaker 2: Stop trying to control likes and views and all of
Speaker 2: the hell no, no, that's not sustainable. What's sustainable is
Speaker 2: training people getting information. They know they're gonna get something.
Speaker 2: They can take that and they can move on. So, guys,
Speaker 2: check out the last episode at Revolte News. Thank you
Speaker 2: for rocking with me. Still follow the Revote news channel
Speaker 2: so I get space, we get room to kind of
Speaker 2: move that up because it's not expected to do like
Speaker 2: the main page. You know right, people watch you know,
Speaker 2: millions of people. So that's a cool, you know, cool
Speaker 2: little thing to do. I love it. They know, I
Speaker 2: keep them out of hot water with you know, all
Speaker 2: this stuff with Trump and word, you know, all that
Speaker 2: kind of stuff. So I love it. We got a
Speaker 2: great team over there. We got a workflow that works perfectly.
Speaker 2: We still just like Front page News, you know, we
Speaker 2: sort through forty fifty stories a day, you know, trying
Speaker 2: to pick a good four or five to go. The graphics,
Speaker 2: everything a beautiful chemistry. I'm excited about it. It's something
Speaker 2: that I can do, you know, manage while still going
Speaker 2: to loss. Oooh. But the camera stuff, guys, you know,
Speaker 2: the interviews, all of that. I just kind of like
Speaker 2: doing that every now and then, you know, every now
Speaker 2: and then pop up on Fox you just let you
Speaker 2: an't know why I can pop on in whatever I
Speaker 2: get ready. But other than that, no, we gonna really
Speaker 2: focus on this. Lock in with me, guys. I will
Speaker 2: get you to the next step. I promise you you
Speaker 2: lock in, I will get you to your next step.
Speaker 2: I will tell you something that will give you an
Speaker 2: aha moment to say, damn, nobody told me this. Yep.
Speaker 2: I assure you my rates are more than fair. I'm
Speaker 2: not trying to you know, over the top with it,
Speaker 2: trying to make it fair. Right now, we got a
Speaker 2: ten dollar coupon going on any course is very sight.
Speaker 2: I saw ten people took advantage of that. Put in
Speaker 2: let's go to coupon code. I'm trying to make it
Speaker 2: as affordable as possible. Some of my other media training though,
Speaker 2: will be you know, like a hundred dollars or so,
Speaker 2: because it's just higher level training for a niche group
Speaker 2: of people. But nothing you know, too crazy and too
Speaker 2: off the top, you know. I'd rather just be able
Speaker 2: to have volumes of people that I can just really
Speaker 2: connect with and really Now again people want one on
Speaker 2: one with me, you can. That's coaching available as well
Speaker 2: for two hundred an hour. That's very limited. I'm not
Speaker 2: even taking that with everybody because that can backfire in
Speaker 2: you as well, because people they get that Marcella and
Speaker 2: start pitching ideas and pitching this and pitching it, and
Speaker 2: that's not what that's for, you know, and people start
Speaker 2: thinking entitled and it just becomes a mess. So that's
Speaker 2: even gonna be limited on who I talk to one
Speaker 2: on one. But certainly getting the training, ask the questions
Speaker 2: of the community board. That's where you know I will
Speaker 2: be engaging with y'all. But I do have a subscription.
Speaker 2: I haven't been talking about that much. I'm gonna talk
Speaker 2: about it once we roll after training more. But there
Speaker 2: is a twenty five dollars month subscription now I think
Speaker 2: I put it at twenty a twenty dollar month description
Speaker 2: and what that is is I'm going to do a
Speaker 2: on the course dashboard Marcello's I will you know, people
Speaker 2: that got questions, I'll follow up there. But in the
Speaker 2: VIP I will do a after the class one on one.
Speaker 2: So if you got questions that you feel like get answered,
Speaker 2: or you need more, or you thought about something you
Speaker 2: had to that will be a zoom one on one,
Speaker 2: you know, just with you know, that's my office hours
Speaker 2: just with the VIP. VIP also get discounts on every course,
Speaker 2: special deals, merch and things like that. That's just for
Speaker 2: people to say, tells and I can rock with you
Speaker 2: twenty dollars a month just to keep y' all in business.
Speaker 2: So I did make that an option. I haven't been
Speaker 2: talking about it because people need the content first, you know,
Speaker 2: when they get the content then they can you know,
Speaker 2: kind of see the other benefits. So rock with Me, guys,
Speaker 2: I plan on really building out that division and really
Speaker 2: really very very excited about it. So we will talk
