Speaker 1: of living our best lives and understanding and realizing how
Speaker 1: you are your greatest asset. Get your Vitamin D right
Speaker 1: with me and get excited about your life. I said, hello, somebody, somebody, Hello,
Speaker 1: what's going on? I'm coming to you live from in
Speaker 1: the closet. I'm in the closet. I'm starting to feel
Speaker 1: like my brain is coming back. It's just been everything everywhere,
Speaker 1: all that wants muddling and doing its thing. But I'm grateful,
Speaker 1: and I remind myself that I am growing, and when
Speaker 1: you're growing, that means that you are uncomfortable. Now rather
Speaker 1: being irritated than wonder why this or why am I
Speaker 1: so feeling like this, understand that growth is happening. Huh. Listen,
Speaker 1: growth reminds you that you're still alive and I ain't
Speaker 1: trying to die to day. So that being said, now
Speaker 1: that I'm getting my mind and it's coming at ease
Speaker 1: and I'm being in existing, you know, I decide to
Speaker 1: turn on a little TV. Now. I don't really watch
Speaker 1: TV often, but when I do, I find myself a
Speaker 1: good show. In fact, my favorite thing to bach of
Speaker 1: you really want another truth if I'm minding down or
Speaker 1: if I need to decompress is a Disney animated film
Speaker 1: That's My Girl Too. And I am finding here lately
Speaker 1: that Apple TV has some really great shows. I had
Speaker 1: just got done watching the film Tetris, and then there's
Speaker 1: a new one on the block. Have you heard about
Speaker 1: The Big Door Pride? Well, it's all about potential. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what it is about. It's about tapping into that
Speaker 1: magic part of what we call life, a reason for
Speaker 1: being here. See similar to why I'm enjoying this show
Speaker 1: is that of with Disney animated films, It's all about
Speaker 1: inspiration and changing it and manifestation. So another reason why
Speaker 1: I really decided to say, let me check out this
Speaker 1: film is because Gabrielle Dennis is in it and I
Speaker 1: had the opportunity to meet her when I was working
Speaker 1: with the Steve Harvey Morning Show and I covered the
Speaker 1: NAACP Image Awards. It was the luncheon and I feel
Speaker 1: like we ran into each other twice. If you go
Speaker 1: on YouTube, you might catch the clip. I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's there. I do remember I had posted it
Speaker 1: on my Instagram, but I have cleared that our child,
Speaker 1: but it might still be there. I'm not gonna say
Speaker 1: it's not. But either way, I said, that's my sister girl.
Speaker 1: I said, let me see what's she doing. I don't
Speaker 1: want to misconstrue the last network. When I spoke to her,
Speaker 1: what she was on. No, no, no. The reason why
Speaker 1: we ran into each other because she was talking about
Speaker 1: her role. She was playing Whitney Houston, and I remember
Speaker 1: I was loving it because even her cadence and her
Speaker 1: energy that she was giving. I don't know which programmer,
Speaker 1: which network out. I don't even want to throw one
Speaker 1: out there and be wrong. But anyway, that's the point.
Speaker 1: So that lured me in to really open it. Now.
Speaker 1: The film is based off this book entitled The Big
Speaker 1: Door Prize and it's by M. O. Walsh and it
Speaker 1: also stars Chris O'Dowd o d o w d a
Speaker 1: white man. Yes, Gabby is married to a white man.
Speaker 1: His name is Dusty. Oh, and this name kind of
Speaker 1: describe hi. His character is No, it's not Shade. I'm
Speaker 1: not trying to be Shaddy. What I'm saying is is that, well,
Speaker 1: what happens when you don't change, or you don't move something,
Speaker 1: if you don't fluff your pillows, if you don't draw
Speaker 1: your curtains, Dusk gets on it because change isn't taking place. Well,
Speaker 1: similar into this series that I am unpacking. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I should say spoiler alert. You might want
Speaker 1: to stop this, pause this, not stop pause this and
Speaker 1: watch it, because I don't want to tell you too much.
Speaker 1: But I just gotta give you what I need to
Speaker 1: give you, and I need to catch I need for
Speaker 1: you to catch it because it's gonna be high. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right? Anyway, So when things are sitting in a
Speaker 1: place and not moving. They collect dust. And that's similar
Speaker 1: to what's going on with this brother, Dusty. He's so
Speaker 1: content with his life that he hasn't even imagine what
Speaker 1: could be more, Dawn, what are you talking about? I
Speaker 1: know now I don't even recall what's the actual city
Speaker 1: as taking place in. I want to say Deerfield or
Speaker 1: is that just the name of the store anywhere? Imagine
Speaker 1: the small town. I imagine it's somewhere to be like
Speaker 1: in the Midwest, because you know, I'm from Detroit, Honey,
Speaker 1: after living to End DC, New York and LA, I
Speaker 1: can admit we are a big country, Honey, we are
Speaker 1: a bit slow, Honey, we are giving very small town. Now.
Speaker 1: This is Detroit that I'm speaking of two thousand and
Speaker 1: four and before, how about that? Okay, just keeping it
Speaker 1: real anyway. So what happens is is there's this machine
Speaker 1: that a store has. The machine appeared out of nowhere
Speaker 1: one night, okay, and this machine is causing some type
Speaker 1: of I want to say disturbance, but not negative disturbances necessarily,
Speaker 1: but just movements of disturbance in the everyday flow of
Speaker 1: the town. Because it's letting people know they got potential.
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that doing? Oh, I'm glad
Speaker 1: you asked. Okay, So this gentleman, his name is Jonathan.
Speaker 1: I don't want to mispronounce his last name. I shouldn't
Speaker 1: know this, but listen, I'm in a closet. I'm in
Speaker 1: a closet anyway, So Jonathan has the store. I told you.
Speaker 1: This machine appears there and it's called Morphol. Now morphol
Speaker 1: in the name, same definition, it's butterfly. Come on, Life
Speaker 1: of a Butterfly. Yes, please check out my best friend's book,
Speaker 1: Shelley Slack. It's entitled The Life of a Butterfly. That
Speaker 1: was a segue anyway. So in this show, this machine
Speaker 1: appears there. It's entitled Morphol, which means butterfly. And there's
Speaker 1: a butterfly on there, and the machine appeared out of nowhere.
Speaker 1: Now you put quarters inside of the machine. It asks
Speaker 1: you to put your Social Security number in there. Then
Speaker 1: it scans your fingerprints. Then it tells you that it
Speaker 1: is going to reveal to you your life potential. Dawn,
Speaker 1: what do you mean by that? Exactly what I mean
Speaker 1: by that? So, now you have a principal who's at
Speaker 1: a school, who now said that she supposed to be
Speaker 1: a motorcyclist. So guess what she got herself a motorcycle
Speaker 1: and she is living her best life. Huh. It got
Speaker 1: some people saying there that should going archery, a healer,
Speaker 1: a male model, and all of these people are spending
Speaker 1: nights rather they're playing guitars, singing new songs, doing things
Speaker 1: otherwise they would have never done. Now, Dusty, he's given
Speaker 1: what is going on? One? Why are people acting like
Speaker 1: they can't be like the olden day when people manifested
Speaker 1: their dreams, when they wrote them down and they just
Speaker 1: did it. H And what I really like about this
Speaker 1: show is so it's that so unconventional. I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: to Gabby Gabrielle. I can I call her Gabby girl?
Speaker 1: I'm getting real comfortable. Gabrielle Dennis is her name? Please?
Speaker 1: This is all about branding. John, Thank you, John. I'm
Speaker 1: in the closet. I'm in the closet. I'm gonna say
Speaker 1: that every time, just so that we're clear, and then
Speaker 1: I'm doing this myself, so please make room. My former
Speaker 1: front page family know what I mean by that. Anyhow.
Speaker 1: So this film is so unconventional because, like I said,
Speaker 1: you already have the mixed race couple where the mother
Speaker 1: is of African American descent and then the husband is
Speaker 1: from Ireland. That's Dusty, Honey, given Dusty and the thing
Speaker 1: that's so interesting how these two worlds came together and
Speaker 1: while all the people, all these people are getting their
Speaker 1: great potential of something that sounds amazing, Dusty is like,
Speaker 1: why aren't they just manifesting like people did in the
Speaker 1: olden days. He was so apprehensive about trying the machine
Speaker 1: that he actually tried the machine and it told him
Speaker 1: who he is right now, now you better catch this.
Speaker 1: This is double sided because it's like, on one token, Dusty,
Speaker 1: if you're in discontent, you're everything that you said you
Speaker 1: want to be. But then on the other side, he
Speaker 1: was disappointed because it wasn't more. You better catch it.
Speaker 1: It's hot, I know now. The reason why I want
Speaker 1: to point that out is because Jonathan, the gentleman that
Speaker 1: owns the store, he had his potential revealed on a
Speaker 1: card as a magician. And the line that he said
Speaker 1: in the film or the show the episode that I
Speaker 1: don't want to misconstrue because it's not verbatim, is that
Speaker 1: he said, wow, this explains why I've kept every Magician
Speaker 1: book since I was a kid. So it wasn't that
Speaker 1: he didn't know what was inside of him. He just
Speaker 1: didn't have either to know how or the courage to
Speaker 1: tap into it. We also have to realize that when
Speaker 1: we talk about potential, that is a choice. You know,
Speaker 1: I say on plenty of previous episodes that you have
Speaker 1: to choose to live your best life. You have to
Speaker 1: choose to live your life on purpose and for purpose. Huh,
Speaker 1: you better catch it. So Dusty, it's actually in this
Speaker 1: disappointment because it's like, well, why isn't there more for
Speaker 1: my life? But at the same token, it's like, Dusty,
Speaker 1: you weren't trying to envision more. You felt that everything
Speaker 1: was just okay. You were fine with just being so
Speaker 1: damn Dusty, I gotta ask you, are you, Dusty, what
Speaker 1: kind of dust is going on in your house? Have
Speaker 1: you made room for change, for possibility, for you to
Speaker 1: live your best life on po's and for a purpose.
Speaker 1: I'm asking you this because this could be your big
Speaker 1: door pride and one thing that I was thinking in
Speaker 1: the film and then they are the show and they
Speaker 1: answered it immediately. I was like, why would you go
Speaker 1: ahead and go ahead and put your social Security number
Speaker 1: and your fingerprints in there and don't even know where
Speaker 1: it goes. Well, Dusty, he is a teacher at a
Speaker 1: high school, the same high school that the principal got
Speaker 1: her motorcycle and is living her best life. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: his daughter goes there. That's just a caveat. But in
Speaker 1: that class, the students that clarified, like, listen, mister Hubbard,
Speaker 1: the store doesn't even have WiFi. The guy Jonathan, the
Speaker 1: owner doesn't even know technology like that, so how could
Speaker 1: it be hooked up to what I know? That's the
Speaker 1: magical part about it, But more importantly the thing that
Speaker 1: stood out to me, and I want to watch this
Speaker 1: with you on this journey about why it's important to
Speaker 1: choose to live your best life and tap into the potential.
Speaker 1: And then to my girl Gabriel Dennis, Honey, she's giving
Speaker 1: royalty down. I even like the intentionality of using the purple.
Speaker 1: That's all on her and how you have to choose it,
Speaker 1: because what happens when you got so much noise around you?
Speaker 1: How did you focus? I was talking to this guy
Speaker 1: kept running into we connected over us sneakers Holka sneakers.
Speaker 1: Have y'all heard about this Holka Listen, do you know
Speaker 1: how much of our girl? I think we need to
Speaker 1: tip a little talk. And I kept running into him,
Speaker 1: he told me, and I told him. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be bigging an Oprah. And this is before
Speaker 1: I identified as well with an impact like Michael Jackson,
Speaker 1: but at the time, and he was like, oh wow, really,
Speaker 1: because everybody doesn't have the courage to tap into their
Speaker 1: true potential because sometimes I think it's so very deep
Speaker 1: instead side that we forget and see just like this
Speaker 1: morphoe machine, it just put it in the forefront. Well,
Speaker 1: how about if you just kept it in the forefront.
Speaker 1: And he said to me, he said, don I wish
Speaker 1: I could remember his name right now, but he said, Dahn,
Speaker 1: you aren't going to have to move like you got
Speaker 1: earplugs on and blinders on. Now, if you've been listening
Speaker 1: to the podcast, if you're going back to some episodes,
Speaker 1: which one I don't know, but if you go on,
Speaker 1: you're gonna find it for a show where I discuss
Speaker 1: this gentleman. And he goes on to talk about the
Speaker 1: fact of how you are have to live your life
Speaker 1: because your focus has to be so disciplined, and it
Speaker 1: just reminds me of when Cynthia Cynthia Mayweather over at
Speaker 1: kjlage when we had lunch one day, and she talked
Speaker 1: about how it's so important to have a laser focus
Speaker 1: because when it's a laser focus, it can cut it
Speaker 1: through things. Now, not saying that a broaden light is
Speaker 1: good isn't good, but sometimes you gotta laser focus it in.
Speaker 1: And when you are in a situation or when you
Speaker 1: find yourself in the circumstances that you are trying to
Speaker 1: do something that you've never even done before, think people
Speaker 1: around you haven't done before, you gotta remain focus. That's
Speaker 1: why they said that the dream the vision that came
Speaker 1: to you. So how can you expect anyone else to
Speaker 1: know what is your vision and your dream therefore tapping
Speaker 1: your potential and so cass that's Gabrielle's dentist's character's name.
Speaker 1: She finds herself in situations where her environment doesn't support
Speaker 1: her like that. So what that means and what that
Speaker 1: looks like is that when you have that focus, you
Speaker 1: are going to have to stick to your vision. She
Speaker 1: said that she is royalty and everywhere around her is
Speaker 1: telling her, don't boast, don't brag, don't be who you are.
Speaker 1: But I have to ask you, who do you say
Speaker 1: that you are? Whose do you say that you are?
Speaker 1: And you have to teach people how to treat you.
Speaker 1: The Big Door Prize by m Ol Walsh, and it's
Speaker 1: based off of a book. Heck, I'm about to get
Speaker 1: the book, but in the meantime, if you got Apple TV,
Speaker 1: you really need to check it out because I don't
Speaker 1: know if there's something that you've always wanted to do,
Speaker 1: something that you do know because it's always been something
Speaker 1: that tantalized your mind as a child. Huh, that got
Speaker 1: you excited, that got you to feel good. I'm not
Speaker 1: saying you gotta drop everything now, but can't you just
Speaker 1: tap into it? You know? Marianne Williams, She's saying, our
Speaker 1: deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest
Speaker 1: fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. Well, it's
Speaker 1: something about that potential, because that potential doesn't let you
Speaker 1: know all the way of where it can go. And
Speaker 1: yet we are beings that are always trying to measure things.
Speaker 1: Huh huh, So what if you are powerful beyond measure.
Speaker 1: What if that is the case, I said, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be picking an Oprah who out there right now was
Speaker 1: doing it. I'm not saying that nobody else can't. But
Speaker 1: it's not measurable because when we think of a likeness
Speaker 1: of Oprah, well hello, when we think of an impact
Speaker 1: Michael Michael Jackson, well hello, it's a new dawn, It's
Speaker 1: a new day. Hey, hey baby, I didn't come to play.
Speaker 1: I'm about to do some things's never seen because God
Speaker 1: promised me exceedingly and abundantly, far more than what I
Speaker 1: could ever imagined, far more than what you could ever imagine.
Speaker 1: And all God asked you to do is triumph. You know,
Speaker 1: we're here for a good time, not a long time.
Speaker 1: That's why we got to choose to live our life
Speaker 1: on purpose and for a purpose and step on the
Speaker 1: break of our potential. There's a priest in the film.
Speaker 1: I say priests because they referred to him as a father,
Speaker 1: a black man, and which Dusty met at a bar
Speaker 1: who he ordered a hard drink. I said, Wow, the
Speaker 1: duality while a showcase of where just all humans? Because
Speaker 1: why couldn't a father have a drink? Why couldn't a priest,
Speaker 1: a father, a man of God be in the ball?
Speaker 1: Why not can we make room for people? But the
Speaker 1: father explained, because I told you Dusty was so perplexed
Speaker 1: before or I can't recall after knows after when he
Speaker 1: found out his potential is everything that he is right now,
Speaker 1: he was so disturbed and he couldn't he couldn't understand.
Speaker 1: He was like, father, why is everybody putting all their
Speaker 1: faith and something outside themselves machine and see what happens?
Speaker 1: As the father explained, is that it reminds people to
Speaker 1: dare to dream, to reach out for something that is intangible.
Speaker 1: I'm looking for America and search for the impossible. I
Speaker 1: wish I knew all the words, but that's the Clark
Speaker 1: sisters right there. And to just go into the abyss
Speaker 1: because we can stay Dusty in our lives and do
Speaker 1: the same damn thing every day and every day out.
Speaker 1: But what if you just were to tap out to
Speaker 1: something more. I'm just asking what if? Because if you
Speaker 1: stay where you are, well you know what you've always done. Again,
Speaker 1: that's masterable. But are you ready to be powerful beyond measure?
Speaker 1: That's why I dare you to dream, stop trying to
Speaker 1: have everything figured out and just take a chance step
Speaker 1: into the unknown. Take a note from Burnet Brown and
Speaker 1: lean into your vulnerability. Huh. Sometimes we take for granted
Speaker 1: how long we're here for, and I want to remind
Speaker 1: you that we're here for a good time, not a
Speaker 1: long time. Are you ready? H Are you ready for
Speaker 1: the big door prize? Better? Yeah, your big door prize?
Speaker 1: You better catch it. Stay up today with me because
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be checking out on Apple TV. All right.
Speaker 1: I will have more to talk about that because we
Speaker 1: gotta impack some more. We gappy yet, but I feel
Speaker 1: like I had to get cast cast. Remember that's our character.
Speaker 1: I felt like I had to give a contact of
Speaker 1: the show a little bit. Hopefully it makes sense, but
Speaker 1: you gotta catch it, all right? All right? Well that
Speaker 1: is at right now. It is time. It's that time's
