<v Speaker 2>that we're in. And guys, please ask somebody to uh

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I be you know, I'll be looking at everybody say

0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.600
<v Speaker 2>they got a million down lows. Laura la Rosa got

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 2>a million down lows. It takes me a year to

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 2>get to my million, but she got hers right away.

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>And ain't nobody man shout out to Lauren covering pop culture.

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 2>You guys just flock to that stuff. We're just you know,

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.759
<v Speaker 2>in the business of we do the stuff that it's

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 2>not as popular, you know, and but I love the

0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 2>work that we do. It's sustainable, it's over time. It

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 2>is a niche. I'm not switching up. One minute, I'm

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:49.560
<v Speaker 2>talking about politics, next minute, I'm talking about who daya

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 2>do you know, all that kind of stuff. A lot

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 2>of people in the YouTube space and I'm not talking

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 2>about Lauren. I'm just saying in the YouTube space they

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 2>have to constantly, you know, keep up with drama in

0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.800
<v Speaker 2>order to keep the views and all that. And that's

0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 2>what I love. Marcella's about the podcast space because the

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.840
<v Speaker 2>way black Efake is set up. Although we want people

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 2>to subscribe, follow and all of that, but we are

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 2>as far as our advertiser is concerned, they look at

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 2>us as a whole, you know, as a unit, you know,

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:19.880
<v Speaker 2>as a group together, So it doesn't I don't have

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.080
<v Speaker 2>to feel I have to be sensational you know every week,

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:25.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, to get people to click. And I really

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 2>appreciate that because it really just allows me to do

0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>whatever I want to do on this podcast. Say whatever

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:30.840
<v Speaker 2>I want to say, have a long I want to

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 2>say it, I want to go. If I want to

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>do five podcasts a day, I can. I can talk

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:36.840
<v Speaker 2>about whatever I want to talk about. It is just

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 2>really really a huge blessing and I will as long

0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>as they will have me, this will always be a

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>tool that I will use because again, guys, it is

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.839
<v Speaker 2>an actual podcast on iHeart with a contract with our Heart,

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 2>which is the largest audio platform in the world. And

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>I've used this platform for so many different things, Marcella's

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:57.040
<v Speaker 2>my One of my favorite things that I've done with

0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 2>this platform is when I did the ten I don't

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 2>know remember that, but I did a series ten podcast

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 2>series that went to the prisons and I partnered with

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 2>the George Floyd Foundation and I did ten episodes training episodes.

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Uh that What that actually went to is, I don't

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 2>they're not iPads, but they're similar to that in the prison,

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 2>you know, they can download and listen stuff. And partner

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 2>with a company that did that, and that was my

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 2>favorite thing.

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>To do.

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.919
<v Speaker 2>I did an episode on Spud who was talking about,

0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, how he wrote a book in prison, how

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 2>he trans you know, when he got out of prison,

0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>what that was like. I had a psychiatrist on, you know,

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 2>talking about mental health. I had a correctional officer that

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 2>I visit that that I interviewed. Yeah, this is really good.

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:44.640
<v Speaker 2>That talked about, you know, what you need to do

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:47.200
<v Speaker 2>to not crash out, basically, you know when you come home.

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 2>I had a spiritual advisor talk about it. I had

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 2>another guy, Lewis who served ten years and talked about

0:03:55.360 --> 0:03:58.520
<v Speaker 2>his transition. That was my favorite thing to do because,

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 2>as y'all see, I loved training. I love training, so

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm always wanting to train. And I hope that as

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 2>you listen to my podcast, although I'm talking about the news,

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm always doing it from a training lens of telling

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 2>you what not to do, how to do, and how

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:19.359
<v Speaker 2>to apply to your everyday life and if you aspire

0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.040
<v Speaker 2>to do the work that I do. So I'm excited

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 2>about that. I'm excited about having this opportunity of black

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 2>and fair. With that said, just a quick announcement, but

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 2>I gotta say every week, make sure you're enrolling the

0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 2>training June fourteenth. If you miss the June fourteenth class,

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 2>it is not over. Go back and still enroll in

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.920
<v Speaker 2>course one. You'll have about three weeks to watch Course

0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 2>one before we go into course two. I do want

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 2>to give people time to go back and watch it

0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:48.240
<v Speaker 2>because I want to recruit some new folks. But then

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 2>after that, Marcella said, y'all better just get ready because

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>we move it on wings, keep breaking it up waiting,

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 2>don't you. We're gonna do it every couple of weeks.

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I do start law school August fifth, Yes, thank you,

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 2>So I can anticipate a whole lot of information being

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 2>thrown at me fast. But I do want to at

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 2>the very least try to push to have uh, well,

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 2>I know, course three done by August, because if we

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 2>give about three weeks for Course one June fourteenth, do

0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 2>that second one, you know, in the middle of July,

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 2>we can do that third one at the end of

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 2>July and at least have that done, and then we're

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 2>four and five knocked out, you know, in August. So

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.920
<v Speaker 2>that way I have the five done as I really get,

0:05:36.960 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, heavy into my first semester of law school,

0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.040
<v Speaker 2>which is a challenge a lot of reading, and then

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 2>at least, you know, we have that going and then

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I can start doing the breakoff stuff where it's just

0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, one hour webinar, you know, and get that done.

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 2>So we're gonna get through those five courses at the

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.839
<v Speaker 2>like I said, very least it'll be the end of August,

0:05:57.880 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 2>we'll be done with all five.

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.680
<v Speaker 3>Did you have a question, Yeah, I'm gonna ask you,

0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:06.799
<v Speaker 3>so what was your your your moment when you knew

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 3>you wanted to start, you know, your own training.

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, I've always had my own training. So even when

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 2>I I've always been a trainer, I've always I'm in

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 2>a supervisor's role in a I've been a trainers in

0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 2>the second grade, fifth grade. I'm always trying to teach

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 2>and learn. And I'm a natural teacher. I'm a leader.

0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:29.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm a you know, uh, preachers are teachers. So when

0:06:29.600 --> 0:06:32.360
<v Speaker 2>I say I'm a bootleg preacher, I'm always teaching. It's

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 2>not about me realizing it. It's just, you know, truly

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:38.200
<v Speaker 2>who I am. It is where I am the most rewarded.

0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:41.480
<v Speaker 2>But to answer your question on when I recognize the gift,

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.279
<v Speaker 2>because there's a big difference. It's not about what I

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 2>want to do. You know, talk about that all the time.

0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 2>It's not about what I want to do. It's about

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:51.479
<v Speaker 2>what I've been called to do. And I would say

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:57.880
<v Speaker 2>the moment that I recognized that I could consume information

0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 2>and translated were people could understand it. That was at

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 2>University of North Texas, and I remember very well. It

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 2>was in a human resources class, and it was the

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 2>first time I was an older student to me, older

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 2>twenty two to twenty three to me, you know, I

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 2>was married, and I still when you compare, you know,

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 2>everybody else is eighteen nineteen. I still was an older student.

0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Looking back at it now, I was a baby, but

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I thought I was. I called myself an older student

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 2>because it was non traditional. You know, I didn't go

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 2>I was married and you know, working and going to school.

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 2>And I was so excited about class Marcella's because I

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 2>didn't get a chance like Jada to just go straight

0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 2>to college like that. You know. I went to the

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>military and then I just wanted to you know, pay

0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 2>my own bills and I'll just take three hours here

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 2>or there the community college. And it took cover a

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 2>decade plus to finish. So guys push your kids to

0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:52.200
<v Speaker 2>just go ahead and go and get it out the way.

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.680
<v Speaker 2>If they say, oh, I'll defer a year, and no,

0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 2>if they defer that year, more than likely they may

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 2>not ever finish, or to take them twenty year, they'll

0:07:58.480 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 2>be regretting it. Just push them. I don't care what

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:05.520
<v Speaker 2>they say. Make their choice. My damn that you going.

0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:08.200
<v Speaker 2>I was by having a conversation with my girlfriend Ebony

0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.680
<v Speaker 2>because we were watching that series Forever, which I love,

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 2>and you know, she's saying, well, yeah, I can see

0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 2>you know if Liberty, because she has a brand new baby,

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, if she wants to take off a year,

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>we'll look out, said Abdey. I'm telling you from experience

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.320
<v Speaker 2>because Abonue went straight through, so she was pushed to

0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 2>go straight through. So she's thinking, oh, you know, be liberal.

0:08:24.040 --> 0:08:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I say, you gonna see it differently when she get older.

0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 2>But I can tell you from experience that take off

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 2>a year and turns into fifteen. It can absolutely turn

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 2>into fifteen. Get it done out the way, knock out

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.000

<v Speaker 3>because I was in the house. I had to do

0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 3>what she what she wanted me to do. But I

0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:17.480
<v Speaker 3>didn't really want to go to college, but she wanted

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 3>me to go to college. And to this day, I

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.119

<v Speaker 2>because the people wait.

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 2>So then what the hell are you talking about? Your

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.760
<v Speaker 2>asked need everything every box possible. See, guys, this is

0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.560
<v Speaker 2>here we go again with this for Marcella's. Let me

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 2>go back to answer the question when you said, when

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:40.200
<v Speaker 2>I realized when I was in the class and I

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:44.320
<v Speaker 2>was so excited about school because I knew that I

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 2>should have just went straightforward. I didn't have any kids,

0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 2>nothing w stopped me. I just wanted to, you know,

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.679
<v Speaker 2>pay my own bills, like Marcella's. I want to pay

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 2>my own bills and I went to the military and

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.760
<v Speaker 2>all that. So I was just elated to actually have

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 2>the opportunity to sit in the seat. See people like

0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 2>Marcella's that had opportunity, they don't know like to not

0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:03.600
<v Speaker 2>have the opportunity. So he just I don't feel like it.

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:06.600
<v Speaker 2>You know, she was in fight it to be like, man,

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 2>I can actually sit in a class in the middle

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 2>of the day because I was married, so I had

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 2>support at that point. You know, I wasn't able to

0:11:12.120 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 2>do it the other way. I wish some mother had

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 2>pushed me in that way, because she definitely her mama

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.160
<v Speaker 2>pushed her. You know when she went to O State.

0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.400
<v Speaker 2>She didn't push me like that. She said, Okay, that's

0:11:20.400 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 2>what you want to do. That's fine, And I wish

0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:23.840
<v Speaker 2>the same way. You go back and wish I wish

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:25.360
<v Speaker 2>you would have done it. I wish mine would have

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 2>did that when I go back, because it took me

0:11:27.080 --> 0:11:29.480
<v Speaker 2>twenty some years to finish the hard way. I would

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 2>have been much further ahead, much more I could have

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.160
<v Speaker 2>done in my business if at least I would have

0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.240
<v Speaker 2>had the academic out the way, you know, if that

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 2>part would have been checked off the lists, I could

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 2>have spent more time on other things trying to balance

0:11:40.280 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 2>that and have a baby, be married, this and that

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 2>all life responsibility. Get the Batchelor's degree and knock it

0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 2>on out the way, and then go on and struggle

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 2>nowhereas you have plenty time to struggle because you're struggling now.

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:52.760
<v Speaker 2>So it wasn't gonna be no different. Oh yeah, I

0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.480
<v Speaker 2>really wanted to be an acroback dancer. If you want

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 2>to do be acroback dancer in the circus or whatever

0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 2>you thought you wanted to do, you can do it.

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.920
<v Speaker 2>After car let's get this checkbox done. But to answer

0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 2>your question, when people would wait for me after class,

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:10.720
<v Speaker 2>like a line Marcella's of people saying can you explain

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 2>to her? Once it started getting around and I could

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.080
<v Speaker 2>explain to people, it would literally be a line and

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:17.840
<v Speaker 2>I'll be like, which I went on because we needed

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:19.960
<v Speaker 2>you to explaining, to explain to it, and I'll be okay,

0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:22.480
<v Speaker 2>da da, like okay, you know I do now, I said, Okay,

0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.320
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of like da da da da Okay. I

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.720
<v Speaker 2>got it. Because we were trying to learn for a

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 2>shared human resources and it was a lot of complex information.

0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.480
<v Speaker 2>And that's when I learned like, oh, I'm kind of

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:37.640
<v Speaker 2>smart because I wasn't the nerd in school, you know,

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:39.080
<v Speaker 2>or the one all in the book.

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:39.240
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.240
<v Speaker 2>I did enough to get by, you know, be a

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:43.960
<v Speaker 2>cheer leader, to keep my two point or whatever. But

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 2>I wasn't excited about knowledge. When I went back as

0:12:48.559 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 2>a as a returning student and grasp it, you know,

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:54.680
<v Speaker 2>was I could grasp the information, and then when I

0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 2>was able to teach it to others, I was like, oh, yeah,

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:01.240
<v Speaker 2>this feels good because I'm actually you know, teaching and training.

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:11.800
<v Speaker 2>So that's what I knew I had that gift. I've

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 2>always been a leader leadership, you know, leading people. That's

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 2>a part of teaching as well. It's not just teaching,

0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:23.760
<v Speaker 2>but it's also by leading. And so when you rock

0:13:23.840 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 2>with me is because I'm empowering you through my leadership

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 2>to want to be better. And what you didn't like

0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 2>about what your mom did that wasn't empowering to you

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 2>was like telling you you need to do it. It

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 2>wasn't like, well, let's sit down and let's see. But

0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:43.400
<v Speaker 2>you did not know enough. Marcellis you them? And I'm

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 2>glad Jada is just excited about school that we didn't

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:49.320
<v Speaker 2>have to go down that road because the bottom line

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:54.480
<v Speaker 2>is every checkbox that black people have to check you need.

0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 2>There is no if ands and butts about it. You

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 2>need the checkbox. You got a degree, yep, you got

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.559
<v Speaker 2>a skill, yep. Can you show up, you got trantation, yep.

0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:10.679
<v Speaker 2>There is not a box that you can afford to unchecked. Literally,

0:14:11.800 --> 0:14:13.600
<v Speaker 2>there's just not a box you can afford to not

0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 2>have because everything in the system is designed to put

0:14:17.840 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 2>you out the system. Everything. Oh we was just gonna

0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 2>give it to you, but you didn't have a degree.

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh we were just gonna give it to you, but

0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:27.600
<v Speaker 2>you didn't have transportation. Oh we were just gonna give

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:29.080
<v Speaker 2>it to you, but you got a kid. Oh we're

0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:30.640
<v Speaker 2>just gonna give it to you, but you got a background.

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh We've just gonna give it to you, but you

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:36.320
<v Speaker 2>don't live close. Everything is designed to put you out

0:14:36.400 --> 0:14:39.520
<v Speaker 2>the system. So we cannot afford, which is why black

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 2>men's data is the way that it is. You can't

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 2>afford to get a felony, to get a misdemeanor, to

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 2>to do this, to do that, to not have an

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:49.600
<v Speaker 2>education and not have a skill, to not it's too

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 2>many down knots would set you up for failure. What

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 2>you mean she didn't ask what I want to me?

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:57.800
<v Speaker 2>That's just the most important. That's like me saying why

0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:59.120
<v Speaker 2>mom didn't ask me? Ibo, I didn't want to put

0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 2>my hand and in the electric socket and you just

0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:07.920
<v Speaker 2>to this day. I don't like it. We'll get over it.

0:15:07.920 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm here. I'm here to tell you to get over it,

0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:15.760
<v Speaker 2>because even with a degree, we're still struggling. You're still struggling.

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 2>So what you think would have been like without it

0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 2>any better? So we can't do nothing but help you

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:23.400
<v Speaker 2>if it's gonna do anything, can't do nothing but to

0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 2>help you, even if it's not helping you. Now, it's

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.120
<v Speaker 2>a better chance to help you than hurt you. That's

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 2>for damn sure. We know it to help you before

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.800

<v Speaker 2>feel like I don't know.

0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:48.600
<v Speaker 3>Maybe just I just feel like she didn't she never

0:15:48.640 --> 0:15:51.560
<v Speaker 3>knew like what I actually wanted to do. It was

0:15:51.640 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 3>just she just told me what I'm gonna do.

0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 2>So I just I don't know, well, just what you

0:15:58.360 --> 0:15:59.840

<v Speaker 2>thank you for looking out for me, thank you for

0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 2>knowing what I didn't know, thank you for still pushing

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:44.120
<v Speaker 2>and even though my rebellion wanted to go another way.

0:16:44.320 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 2>And then Marcella's you can thank God for being an

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:49.040
<v Speaker 2>obedient child to your mother's so the Lord can bless you.

<v Speaker 2>That's why I bless you. You be obedient, even if you

<v Speaker 2>don't like it, Be obedient because a child that is

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 2>not obedient. Days will be long and hard, much longer,

0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.120
<v Speaker 2>harder than they are now. She didn't want you having

0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:05.320
<v Speaker 2>to deal with you've mentioned other people in your family.

0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:06.560
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to throw their names out there, but

0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned some people in their family with them records

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.240
<v Speaker 2>and all that shit. Can't get a place to stay,

0:17:10.320 --> 0:17:12.640
<v Speaker 2>can't get to that. She wanted you to not have

0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:15.919
<v Speaker 2>to go down that path. So the nerve of you

0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:19.160
<v Speaker 2>to sit on the phone with me that McDonald don't

0:17:19.200 --> 0:17:21.639

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:23.919
<v Speaker 2>for your mama. Who gives a damn what you like.

<v Speaker 2>I don't want I don't want to like seeing you

<v Speaker 2>I don't want to see you not have you a

0:17:29.800 --> 0:17:31.919
<v Speaker 2>black man in America? What how many options do you

0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.600
<v Speaker 2>think you that you can afford to turn down? Were

0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:37.679
<v Speaker 2>waiting on you, Marcella. Don't be sitting up staring at

0:17:37.680 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 2>the thing. I want how many options you think you

0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:43.480
<v Speaker 2>got you can afford to turn down? As you compete

0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 2>with these white men who are born with money, who

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.160
<v Speaker 2>are born with power, who are born with the skin,

0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:49.840
<v Speaker 2>who are borned with all that, and they going to

0:17:49.840 --> 0:17:51.720
<v Speaker 2>get all of that, and y'all sitting around and talking

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 2>about what y'all don't want. Seventy percent of people black

0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 2>people on the road in college are women. That's crazy.

0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:05.600
<v Speaker 2>That's why we behind, like literally behind. And people's argument, well,

0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:08.879
<v Speaker 2>you can't do nothing with it, Well you damn show it.

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 2>Damn show ain't gonna hurt you. And whatever it is

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.120
<v Speaker 2>you want to do, you can do it with a degree.

0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:17.679
<v Speaker 2>You want to be a content creator, be a content

0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:22.399
<v Speaker 2>creator with a degree. You want to be a DJ,

0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Be a DJ with a degree, be whatever it is.

0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.240
<v Speaker 2>That's such thing as being two things. Marcella's you know

0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.520
<v Speaker 2>that you can be two things. Q asked me the

0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:34.840
<v Speaker 2>other day, you know what, why go to law school?

0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:36.399
<v Speaker 2>I've had this question a couple of times. You know,

0:18:36.440 --> 0:18:39.000
<v Speaker 2>I already see you on those spaces. You've already accomplished

0:18:39.000 --> 0:18:43.680
<v Speaker 2>so much, right See, the goal is to continue to accomplish.

0:18:44.080 --> 0:18:46.320
<v Speaker 2>The goal is it ain't good enough to just be

0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:49.600
<v Speaker 2>the advisor with being crumped because I could just flex

0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:54.520
<v Speaker 2>on that. No, I want my esteemed colleague, why not

0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:58.360
<v Speaker 2>have the paperwork like he got the paperwork. I don't

0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.120
<v Speaker 2>want to sit around and say, like the episode. We said, well,

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:03.480
<v Speaker 2>don't matter, I do as much work as him. No, no, no,

0:19:03.520 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 2>I want the paperwork. You can't just be satisfied with

0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 2>just being the pair of legal. If you know you

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:11.040
<v Speaker 2>good enough to be the attorney. Now, if you just

0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:12.520
<v Speaker 2>want to be the pair of legal, ain't nothing wrong

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:16.479
<v Speaker 2>with that, guys, you know, nothing wrong with hey. Right now,

0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:18.719
<v Speaker 2>radio is an A MIC and a B MIC. You

0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.000
<v Speaker 2>on the B MIC. A lot of people go to

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.280
<v Speaker 2>school to be B Mike, you know, go through a

0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:24.800
<v Speaker 2>lot of shit to be Miike. You want to B

0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 2>mic because I just rock with you. So you are

0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:28.159
<v Speaker 2>a favorite to be able to just jump up on

0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:31.440
<v Speaker 2>a national show. Everybody don't don't get those opportunities. Marcella's

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:34.240
<v Speaker 2>So things that are for you are going to be,

0:19:34.440 --> 0:19:36.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, for you. But at the end of the day,

0:19:36.920 --> 0:19:39.320
<v Speaker 2>you want to have that and then some That's what's

0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:42.119
<v Speaker 2>wrong right now when the tariffs are coming, Because the

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:45.520
<v Speaker 2>tariffs are coming and all these people that's getting laid

0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:47.439
<v Speaker 2>off and do for self, and all I gotta do

0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:49.679
<v Speaker 2>is go on YouTube, and all I gotta do is

0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.159
<v Speaker 2>this or that. Well, some of y'all gonna need some

0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:56.399
<v Speaker 2>skill sets besides just that going to do some accounting,

0:19:56.720 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 2>some ap some aar, some data entry, and they're gonna

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:05.359
<v Speaker 2>continue to keep making it harder to get menial jobs.

0:20:05.359 --> 0:20:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Marcella's they gonna keep making it hard, making it harder

0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:13.240
<v Speaker 2>and harder. That's the goal, to put us out the game.

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:18.680
<v Speaker 2>This is not about we are not in the era

0:20:18.720 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 2>of what you want to do. We are in the

0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.119
<v Speaker 2>era what you must do. Like you said up the

0:20:26.200 --> 0:20:28.000
<v Speaker 2>hill walking up there, we in an era you must

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:32.960
<v Speaker 2>have it. And this is why, guys, I'm reducing a

0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:35.360
<v Speaker 2>lot of time that y'all see on TV every down

0:20:35.359 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 2>and then pop up and do it. But I close

0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:40.240
<v Speaker 2>out the show with this. Last week was my last

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:46.320
<v Speaker 2>on camera role with Revot. I am still the managing

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:48.439
<v Speaker 2>editor for those of y'all who don't know, the managing

0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:50.800
<v Speaker 2>editor for Revote News the posts you see every day

0:20:50.840 --> 0:20:54.680
<v Speaker 2>and editing knows and curating those stories and still the

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:58.200
<v Speaker 2>cheap little correspondent. We will do some one off shows

0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:00.359
<v Speaker 2>every now and then, you know, as I re locate

0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:05.239
<v Speaker 2>to Orlando, we'll do shows that make sense. But it

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:07.639
<v Speaker 2>is strictly you know, behind the scenes. For those who

0:21:07.640 --> 0:21:09.840
<v Speaker 2>don't know, guys, I did relocate to Atlanta I got

0:21:09.840 --> 0:21:12.560
<v Speaker 2>a spot in Atlanta. I'm here now. But it was

0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:14.280
<v Speaker 2>a lot, you know, going back and forth and back

0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 2>and forth. I'm starting law school. I don't have to come.

0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:19.920
<v Speaker 2>I was gonna prepare to do it, you know, fly

0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.320
<v Speaker 2>in every week and finish the show. But we were

0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:24.840
<v Speaker 2>able to, you know, make it make sense. My goal

0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:28.479
<v Speaker 2>really was just to you know, the first six months

0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:30.720
<v Speaker 2>of the Trump administration, you know, to be there to

0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:33.360
<v Speaker 2>give some commentary, to lay some good things out. We're

0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:36.600
<v Speaker 2>able to do that. I've done several series will Revote, guys.

0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I'll do like ten episodes with tens on ten and

0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:45.600
<v Speaker 2>then we did ten or twelve with the election. I

0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:49.520
<v Speaker 2>did about ten episodes with some voting stuff in twenty twenty.

0:21:49.640 --> 0:21:52.400
<v Speaker 2>So I've always worked with them in you know, little series,

0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:55.679
<v Speaker 2>not ongoing year round five years straight. You know, it

0:21:55.720 --> 0:21:57.840
<v Speaker 2>just doesn't work like that. So this was a great,

0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 2>a great little six month series. We shut that down.

0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:07.520
<v Speaker 2>My goodbye speech last week on Revote. But I'm not

0:22:07.560 --> 0:22:11.400
<v Speaker 2>gonna lie to you, Marcella's I really just want to

0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:14.159
<v Speaker 2>I love behind the scenes. I love what I do

0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:17.240
<v Speaker 2>with the company. They value me beautiful roles. It's always

0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:19.159
<v Speaker 2>been very good to me, I love the behind the

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:22.280
<v Speaker 2>scenes and really just the podcast, to be honest with you,

0:22:23.440 --> 0:22:28.520
<v Speaker 2>because all my attention has to focus on training and

0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:32.359
<v Speaker 2>getting people the information that they need. I do not

0:22:32.720 --> 0:22:38.640
<v Speaker 2>like the Instagram YouTube, you know, trying to keep up

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:42.679
<v Speaker 2>with views and influencers and everybody's a host. And that's

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:44.520
<v Speaker 2>why I don't do my YouTube page like I should.

0:22:44.560 --> 0:22:47.119
<v Speaker 2>I should, but I'm just gonna be honest with you guys.

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:51.400
<v Speaker 2>There's no entry level, like no entry point. Anybody can

0:22:51.520 --> 0:22:54.919
<v Speaker 2>just go on live. Y'all got too many shows for me, Like,

0:22:54.960 --> 0:22:59.920
<v Speaker 2>it's just too many shows. Too many the Marcella's Road Shoulder,

0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.800
<v Speaker 2>this show that everybody, you know what I'm saying. Everybody

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:07.200
<v Speaker 2>got a show, and I'm not mad at it. It's

0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:12.919
<v Speaker 2>just it's too much. There's no distinction between anything. You

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:15.480
<v Speaker 2>don't know who the expert is and who is not,

0:23:15.680 --> 0:23:18.160
<v Speaker 2>and you know, I just I just don't like it.

0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:21.439
<v Speaker 2>I also don't like confusion of people actually thinking, like

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:23.760
<v Speaker 2>a debate that I had with somebody last week of

0:23:23.920 --> 0:23:26.200
<v Speaker 2>my platform beginning, I got more viewers in you girl,

0:23:26.240 --> 0:23:28.479
<v Speaker 2>I don can pete with viewers, you know, so like

0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:31.159
<v Speaker 2>I don't that don't work for me. Let's just go

0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:34.639
<v Speaker 2>ahead and focus on the law school. Make sure the

0:23:34.720 --> 0:23:37.120
<v Speaker 2>law firm is built up. Let's make sure the train

0:23:37.240 --> 0:23:39.399
<v Speaker 2>is built up, and let's rock with this podcast and

0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:41.320
<v Speaker 2>pop in every down in a Revolt and pop in

0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 2>every down there with Fox News, and that's it. Marcella's like,

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:46.280
<v Speaker 2>I just want to train people. I don't. I don't

0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:49.760
<v Speaker 2>need the masses two three four million. You know, that's

0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:52.200
<v Speaker 2>great and fun to do, but that's really not my goal.

0:23:52.600 --> 0:23:55.639
<v Speaker 2>Give me three four or five hundred people that I

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:58.960
<v Speaker 2>can turn into a Christy Williams, that I can turn

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:01.199
<v Speaker 2>into a Marcella's. But I can turn That's where I

0:24:01.240 --> 0:24:05.200
<v Speaker 2>find my greatest joy. That's where I find my greatest joy. Guys,

0:24:05.520 --> 0:24:08.919
<v Speaker 2>it really is building you. Of course, I have to

0:24:08.920 --> 0:24:11.280
<v Speaker 2>post on Instagram, and I got to, you know, got

0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:13.639
<v Speaker 2>to have some social capital, no doubt. But I have

0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:19.880
<v Speaker 2>never you know, chased the algorithm. Charlemagne said, don't chase

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:22.920
<v Speaker 2>the algorithm. Be the algorithm, and what he means by

0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:25.320
<v Speaker 2>that is be authentic to yourself. I don't want to

0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:27.879
<v Speaker 2>chase the algorithm. I on this podcast, I don't have

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:31.399
<v Speaker 2>to talk about every solacious thing going on, you know,

0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:33.720
<v Speaker 2>in order to keep this contract. I can just talk

0:24:33.720 --> 0:24:37.199
<v Speaker 2>about like what's really important and finding a niche of

0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:39.880
<v Speaker 2>folks that rock with me on that that is the key.

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:43.600
<v Speaker 2>It's also the key to train of politics. Guys. If

0:24:43.640 --> 0:24:45.879
<v Speaker 2>you look at somebody's race and you look at a commissioner,

0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:49.359
<v Speaker 2>they don't get all six hundred thousand people to the post.

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:52.600
<v Speaker 2>They get twelve hundred and fifteen hundred their best right,

0:24:53.240 --> 0:24:55.400
<v Speaker 2>and when they serve those twelve fifteen hundred their best,

0:24:55.560 --> 0:24:57.400
<v Speaker 2>they will keep electing them over and over and over

0:24:57.400 --> 0:25:00.200
<v Speaker 2>because you're not gonna satisfy six hundred thousand people, they're

0:25:00.240 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 2>not even engaged. Find your niche, find your people, rock

0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:08.159
<v Speaker 2>with your people, rock with your tribe. And that's it.

0:25:08.240 --> 0:25:11.160
<v Speaker 2>And again it's not shitting on anybody on YouTube because

0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:13.360
<v Speaker 2>many people have done it where they got a tribe

0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:15.639
<v Speaker 2>of people. You know it's gonna every time. If you

0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:18.760
<v Speaker 2>look at Funky don Neva, every time every day he

0:25:18.800 --> 0:25:21.480
<v Speaker 2>go live every day at seven o'clock, he put in

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:24.240
<v Speaker 2>the hours, so every day he doing two hours a day.

0:25:24.640 --> 0:25:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Soon as he go on, ten thousand people watching next

0:25:27.600 --> 0:25:30.920
<v Speaker 2>day thirty forty thousand views. You know, they watch the replay.

0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:35.159
<v Speaker 2>It's like clockwork. It's like clockwork. But he did it

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:38.480
<v Speaker 2>over fourteen years. Yeah he had to build it. Yeah,

0:25:38.480 --> 0:25:40.320
<v Speaker 2>he had to build it. I don't want to build

0:25:40.359 --> 0:25:42.680
<v Speaker 2>on YouTube and that way. And it pays very well,

0:25:42.720 --> 0:25:44.800
<v Speaker 2>by the way, when you build it like that. Yes

0:25:44.840 --> 0:25:48.320
<v Speaker 2>it does, It really really does. But everything is not

0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:51.840
<v Speaker 2>about pay to me, right, I'd rather focus on law

0:25:51.840 --> 0:25:55.280
<v Speaker 2>school and go teach you at the university. I don't

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:57.480
<v Speaker 2>want to be with views. And I'm telling you, God,

0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:01.960
<v Speaker 2>this stuff is getting saturated and it's just getting ridiculous,

0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:04.600
<v Speaker 2>and YouTube is gonna start You're gonna start seeing it

0:26:04.600 --> 0:26:06.760
<v Speaker 2>in your pocket. You're gonna start seeing people getting stupider

0:26:06.800 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 2>and stupid and stupider because everybody's just you know, oh,

0:26:10.119 --> 0:26:12.320
<v Speaker 2>I'll just go do that. People leave it to a man.

0:26:12.400 --> 0:26:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Just keep main content, keep main content. People just scrolling

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:18.679
<v Speaker 2>all day, just scrolling, scroll and scrolling. It's almost like zombies,

0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:21.040
<v Speaker 2>like you know what I mean. It's just it's real

0:26:21.119 --> 0:26:23.000
<v Speaker 2>scary if you think about it, Like when people just

0:26:23.040 --> 0:26:25.959
<v Speaker 2>sit up all day and just consume videos and skits

0:26:25.960 --> 0:26:27.960
<v Speaker 2>and skits and skit and everybody, Let me do a skit,

0:26:28.000 --> 0:26:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Let me do a skit, Let me do a skit.

0:26:29.280 --> 0:26:31.400
<v Speaker 2>Let me just skit, you know, and just getting stupider

0:26:31.440 --> 0:26:34.000
<v Speaker 2>and stupider, and women getting more and more provocative, you know,

0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:36.440
<v Speaker 2>more and more. What can I do? What's the stupidest

0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:38.119
<v Speaker 2>thing I can do? What's the funniest thing that I

0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:40.840
<v Speaker 2>can do? And they're putting there all into that and

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:43.840
<v Speaker 2>not putting time into an actual skill set, you know,

0:26:43.920 --> 0:26:47.199
<v Speaker 2>being a barber or a carpenter or whatever. Put that

0:26:47.320 --> 0:26:49.760
<v Speaker 2>time into that. You know, I'll redirect you and Jade

0:26:49.760 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 2>all the time. Stop worrying about revolting, wearing about all

0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:54.640
<v Speaker 2>of that. Worry about this training. Build this training up.

0:26:55.040 --> 0:26:57.080
<v Speaker 2>That's where you're gonna get your extra income. That's where

0:26:57.080 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna get the job. That's what we actually can control.

0:27:00.480 --> 0:27:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Stop trying to control likes and views and all of

0:27:03.359 --> 0:27:08.800
<v Speaker 2>the hell no, no, that's not sustainable. What's sustainable is

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:12.119
<v Speaker 2>training people getting information. They know they're gonna get something.

0:27:12.160 --> 0:27:16.119
<v Speaker 2>They can take that and they can move on. So, guys,

<v Speaker 2>kind of stuff. So I love it. We got a

0:27:41.320 --> 0:27:44.840
<v Speaker 2>great team over there. We got a workflow that works perfectly.

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:47.879
<v Speaker 2>We still just like Front page News, you know, we

0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:50.320
<v Speaker 2>sort through forty fifty stories a day, you know, trying

0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:52.680
<v Speaker 2>to pick a good four or five to go. The graphics,

0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:57.480
<v Speaker 2>everything a beautiful chemistry. I'm excited about it. It's something

0:27:57.480 --> 0:27:59.560
<v Speaker 2>that I can do, you know, manage while still going

0:27:59.600 --> 0:28:03.919
<v Speaker 2>to loss. Oooh. But the camera stuff, guys, you know,

0:28:04.000 --> 0:28:06.480
<v Speaker 2>the interviews, all of that. I just kind of like

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:08.600
<v Speaker 2>doing that every now and then, you know, every now

0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:10.119
<v Speaker 2>and then pop up on Fox you just let you

0:28:10.200 --> 0:28:11.520
<v Speaker 2>an't know why I can pop on in whatever I

0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:15.480
<v Speaker 2>get ready. But other than that, no, we gonna really

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:18.240
<v Speaker 2>focus on this. Lock in with me, guys. I will

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 2>get you to the next step. I promise you you

0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:23.000
<v Speaker 2>lock in, I will get you to your next step.

0:28:23.160 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 2>I will tell you something that will give you an

0:28:26.040 --> 0:28:29.480
<v Speaker 2>aha moment to say, damn, nobody told me this. Yep.

0:28:30.000 --> 0:28:33.880
<v Speaker 2>I assure you my rates are more than fair. I'm

0:28:33.920 --> 0:28:36.919
<v Speaker 2>not trying to you know, over the top with it,

0:28:37.240 --> 0:28:38.680
<v Speaker 2>trying to make it fair. Right now, we got a

0:28:38.680 --> 0:28:41.680
<v Speaker 2>ten dollar coupon going on any course is very sight.

0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:44.479
<v Speaker 2>I saw ten people took advantage of that. Put in

0:28:44.560 --> 0:28:46.840
<v Speaker 2>let's go to coupon code. I'm trying to make it

0:28:46.880 --> 0:28:50.080
<v Speaker 2>as affordable as possible. Some of my other media training though,

0:28:50.120 --> 0:28:52.440
<v Speaker 2>will be you know, like a hundred dollars or so,

0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:55.240
<v Speaker 2>because it's just higher level training for a niche group

0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:58.440
<v Speaker 2>of people. But nothing you know, too crazy and too

0:28:58.480 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 2>off the top, you know. I'd rather just be able

0:29:01.440 --> 0:29:03.640
<v Speaker 2>to have volumes of people that I can just really

0:29:03.680 --> 0:29:06.320
<v Speaker 2>connect with and really Now again people want one on

0:29:06.320 --> 0:29:08.600
<v Speaker 2>one with me, you can. That's coaching available as well

0:29:08.720 --> 0:29:10.680
<v Speaker 2>for two hundred an hour. That's very limited. I'm not

0:29:10.680 --> 0:29:12.960
<v Speaker 2>even taking that with everybody because that can backfire in

0:29:13.000 --> 0:29:15.800
<v Speaker 2>you as well, because people they get that Marcella and

0:29:15.880 --> 0:29:18.040
<v Speaker 2>start pitching ideas and pitching this and pitching it, and

0:29:18.080 --> 0:29:20.720
<v Speaker 2>that's not what that's for, you know, and people start

0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:24.640
<v Speaker 2>thinking entitled and it just becomes a mess. So that's

0:29:24.720 --> 0:29:26.480
<v Speaker 2>even gonna be limited on who I talk to one

0:29:26.480 --> 0:29:29.880
<v Speaker 2>on one. But certainly getting the training, ask the questions

0:29:29.880 --> 0:29:32.600
<v Speaker 2>of the community board. That's where you know I will

0:29:32.640 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 2>be engaging with y'all. But I do have a subscription.

0:29:35.120 --> 0:29:36.640
<v Speaker 2>I haven't been talking about that much. I'm gonna talk

0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:39.000
<v Speaker 2>about it once we roll after training more. But there

0:29:39.080 --> 0:29:41.360
<v Speaker 2>is a twenty five dollars month subscription now I think

0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I put it at twenty a twenty dollar month description

0:29:43.600 --> 0:29:45.680
<v Speaker 2>and what that is is I'm going to do a

0:29:46.280 --> 0:29:48.600
<v Speaker 2>on the course dashboard Marcello's I will you know, people

0:29:48.600 --> 0:29:51.360
<v Speaker 2>that got questions, I'll follow up there. But in the

0:29:51.480 --> 0:29:56.480
<v Speaker 2>VIP I will do a after the class one on one.

0:29:57.000 --> 0:30:00.840
<v Speaker 2>So if you got questions that you feel like get answered,

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:03.400
<v Speaker 2>or you need more, or you thought about something you

0:30:03.400 --> 0:30:05.640
<v Speaker 2>had to that will be a zoom one on one,

0:30:05.840 --> 0:30:08.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, just with you know, that's my office hours

0:30:09.000 --> 0:30:12.520
<v Speaker 2>just with the VIP. VIP also get discounts on every course,

0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:16.360
<v Speaker 2>special deals, merch and things like that. That's just for

0:30:16.360 --> 0:30:18.200
<v Speaker 2>people to say, tells and I can rock with you

0:30:18.240 --> 0:30:20.720
<v Speaker 2>twenty dollars a month just to keep y' all in business.

0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:23.400
<v Speaker 2>So I did make that an option. I haven't been

0:30:23.440 --> 0:30:25.600
<v Speaker 2>talking about it because people need the content first, you know,

0:30:25.640 --> 0:30:27.520
<v Speaker 2>when they get the content then they can you know,

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:30.760
<v Speaker 2>kind of see the other benefits. So rock with Me, guys,

0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:34.040
<v Speaker 2>I plan on really building out that division and really

0:30:34.080 --> 0:30:36.920
