Yes, at 92 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: the time, I attended Famie starting ninety nine. But in 93 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: ven according to Times in Princeton Review, they got raided 94 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 1: at the College of the Year and Sam, you was 95 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: in a moment where it was just so hot, and 96 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 1: it's a business school, that's number one.

And when I saw those things coming 100 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: from Family, I said, I'm going there. Yes. All I 101 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: had to do was a ten for a few days 102 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: after this visit, I loved my decision is made, well, 103 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: the best decisions I've ever made. Well, what why? Why 104 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: is that with hbc is I really try to talk 105 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: about the you know, the historical factor. I always tell people, 106 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: if we didn't have HBCUs, it really wouldn't be black 107 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: education because they wouldn't let us go to school in 108 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: the South from somebody mean racist behavior. And they were 109 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: limited through quotas does to inner schools in the northrom 110 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: to my white school. So that's that's why HBCUs were 111 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: creating and needed. So going into that, you had all 112 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: these offers from basically white colleges and then there's beautiful 113 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: black campus and tallahasar Florida, you just you just felt 114 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: a kinship you walking around seeing people look like you. 115 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: What was it?

It was over eighty percent black girl up there. 117 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: From there, it was it was the love. It was 118 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: the accountability to this day, not professors on social media 119 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: and still roots for me to stay.

It was like no, it's like 168 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 1: you you were like, you know, like like that matrix. 169 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 1: You dogs that no you dogs that let on in 170 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 1: let on it like she cool, she cool, she cool. 171 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 1: And that's really a strong driving force to why you 172 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: were successful today. Not that you're arrogant. You just understand 173 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: your confident you you believe in the values that God 174 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: has put on this earth that you shouldn't be afraid. 175 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: And I guess that that was me telling you we 176 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: met because I was a big personality on two thousand 177 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: and four, and I was a pretty big personality, and 178 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 1: so because Steve just called me black Cloud. So I 179 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: would tell people know, and I would tell people to 180 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: get out of my face really really quick. But you, 181 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: my friend, that was not was not happening. Talk about 182 00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: that ability to would not be afraid before we get 183 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: into the book. Oh my gosh. Um, well, it's hard 184 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: of me, I would say, is in the book. It 185 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: isn't even the intro I definitely, but I believe in 186 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: tapping into that. I believe that when you move without limits, 187 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: that doors open up on your behalf. So I don't 188 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,199 Speaker 1: I don't approach things from this that space. I definitely 189 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: approaching from a very fearless space. Um. And then then 190 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: our confidence just goes forth. And I said, doors just opened. Um. 191 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't. I don't believe you should operate 192 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: from that space. You need to operate from a level 193 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: of surreness. You need to operlate, operate from a level 194 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: of confidence if you plan on for killing anything in life. 195 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 1: And I always oldren have those features. So it's just 196 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: up for us. You came into the world like that, 197 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: it's up for us to make sure we tap back 198 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: into that because it was nothing but the world started 199 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 1: projecting its way onto you when people started saying different 200 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: things to you. But who you are before you are 201 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: confident you are in yourself? What did you get all 202 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: the forest from the trees and all that? That's a 203 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: beautiful statement. You know. Your book has seven chapters that 204 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: believe principle, the thought principle, the speech principle, the principle 205 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:24,679 Speaker 1: of sewing, sewing, and the action principle. The relationship principle, 206 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: the principle of stewardship. I was a quote in the 207 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: book that I pulled out that really stood out to 208 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: me and said, if I believe something was going to 209 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: happen for me, that's as you're talking. I refused to 210 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: entertain any thoughts that will counter what I believe. Oh 211 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 1: that was you meeting me. That was that when we met. 212 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: You know before the book, you were on the twenty 213 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: sixth floor. I didn't know that homeless, but you had 214 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,360 Speaker 1: a vision. But that didn't stop you. In other words, see, 215 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: a lot of people allow other things to stop them. Excuse. 216 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: I call him excuses because we don't all wake up 217 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: the same every day. We don't wake up with good days. 218 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: Something I wake up, I don't even want to get 219 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: out of bed, but I still get out of bed. 220 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I'm gonna have an unsuccessful day. And 221 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: that's what that that you're saying right there. If I believe, 222 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,679 Speaker 1: if I'm want a mission to be successful, why should 223 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: I suddenly stop myself from being successful? That's a that's 224 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: an amazing thought. Where did that come from? Parents? Where? Well? Sam? You? 225 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: What did that? What did that thought process developed? Fifteen 226 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: eighteen win. Okay, this I honestly can't probably pain for 227 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: at the time I am. I can't. So I am 228 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: a woman of strong faith, but I don't know when 229 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: I started. I don't know that. I think my parents 230 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: probably allowed me to be and adventurous. Um, I know 231 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: I do. And book I tell the third about like 232 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: how my mother took me on to the parking lot 233 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,839 Speaker 1: to get my first car. And she was in a 234 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: used car section and I told her that's not what 235 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 1: I wanted, and what did you want? And I pointed 236 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,439 Speaker 1: open to the car that was on the show rong 237 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: floor and it was spinning farther on it and the 238 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: and the red color and the two doors and the 239 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: rens and she listened. She said, well you could have it, 240 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,719 Speaker 1: and I got excited and then she paused, because you're 241 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: gonna pay for it, And I was like, ill came 242 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: rides to the occasion. Well, I was always taught that 243 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: everything was possible and was in my reach. Well that 244 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 1: that was foremost. Now how you got there, you just 245 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 1: had to fingure it out. But that I was on 246 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: that that's awesome because you know, because of the fact 247 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: that that's what I'm saying is that we have a 248 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: lot of similar characterists. I remember the first car I 249 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: got was a used car boy the first car in 250 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: high school to beat up Pinto forth Pento. And I 251 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: told myself, I said, I said I would never drive 252 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: a car with more than fifteen miles on it. Again, 253 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: I said that to myself. I just knew and that 254 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: was just my da. I always tell people certain ways. 255 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: You said, goals in life, you know, so I didn't. 256 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 1: I wasn't telling anybody I was gonna buy a new car. 257 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: But you know, if you have a car with fifteen 258 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: miles or less on it, that's a new car. And 259 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: so that's a standard that you set for yourself. You said, 260 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: I don't want that. Why can't I get that? And 261 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: how can I get that? And that's goal setting, but 262 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: without but with natural instincts tied to it by having 263 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: the standard you set, but not going to a school 264 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: and somebody telling you, here's your vision board. So you're 265 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: you're walking talking vision vision board. M small, that's what 266 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: you are.

We are born bold. 311 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: I always talking. I always tell people that That's why 312 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: I can't understand people who treat kids terrible, you know, 313 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: abused kids, because kids just just they just want information. 314 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,040 Speaker 1: They just want to whatever you give them. You tell 315 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: them to go left, they go left, you tell them 316 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 1: go right, there, go right. So they just they just 317 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,919 Speaker 1: an energy just waiting. They just just absorb stuff. And 318 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,159 Speaker 1: that statement right there, we are born bold? But what 319 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: what pushes off to what pushes us off? The railroad track? Though? 320 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:56,879 Speaker 1: Mrm all? What what tell me? People and thought? People 321 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,959 Speaker 1: and thought?

You're trying to be a lawyer, 333 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: don't talk to somebody over there, they don't know nothing. 334 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: By lawyer, you can't do that. And so that's why 335 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 1: I love this book because of the fact that she 336 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: breaks it down in the natural world. When I say 337 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: a natural world means that we all go through life 338 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: wondering if we can be great, and your book tells 339 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: us we can be great, but also points out with 340 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: stopping up from being great. Now, how long did it 341 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 1: take you to write this book? Because this book is 342 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: on fire than it just came out the presses because 343 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: you're talking about COVID ninteen in't here. That's how that's 344 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: our current this book is. I couldn't believe I was talking. 345 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: I've reading her book and she's talked about COVID ninteen. Yeah, 346 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: it has been updated. Um, I's say about eight months 347 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 1: for that one. And honestly that's because I wasn't more 348 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: of the final edit. I didn't know. I didn't even 349 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: know that my book would be releasing during a period 350 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: where people would be having a global economic impact on 351 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 1: their finances. Come on now. I had no clue, so 352 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: of course, yeah, we went back and updated something. But yeah, 353 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: I am I am plan on that at all. I'm 354 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: gonna reading this book. She isn't morth of junish. I'm 355 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: reading a book about COVID ninteen. That's a that's our relevant, 356 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: this young lady is, that's how that's our own point. 357 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,959 Speaker 1: She is with our conversations about getting this active. And 358 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: we're not talking about a book that God released last year. 359 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: We're talking about on the money right now now. Now, 360 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: as a speaker, what motivates you? What is the goals 361 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: when you go on stage or people ask you to speak? 362 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: What's the purpose of you speaking to people? What? What? 363 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: What are you trying to emote or trying to get 364 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: them to understand when you're speaking understood? First of all, 365 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: I'm definitely a service that I take the stage. And two, 366 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: and what I mean by that is people are only 367 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: going to remember the speech that applies to them. They 368 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: could care less about what you're saying about your life 369 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 1: is not applicable to what they're going through, what they're 370 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: dealing with, And to my message is always a fearless 371 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: methods when you remove those fears from your mind. Because 372 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 1: the ways of mind is designed, it can shift towards 373 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: the negative bias kind of quickly when you don't put 374 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: in the work because we beings who were created to 375 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: be mindful for survival reasons if danger was coming. But 376 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: we're not in though and the fields right now. We're 377 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,880 Speaker 1: not running from lions, we're not around and am over 378 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: anything of that type of danger. So we just have 379 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: to be very conscious that we're always operating from a 380 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: place of a positive bias. So what's that being said? 381 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: You have to put in the work with these negative 382 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: things that people have put on you. You're gonna have 383 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 1: to pick all those things off so that I go 384 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: when I step onto a stage. Okay, and believe me, 385 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 1: you're fearless. Now, ra Sean made a statement. That's ra Sean, 386 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: that's I'm talking about myself, third person. Okay. I made 387 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 1: a statement that if I had to see somebody that 388 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,200 Speaker 1: was a younger version of me, but it was a female, 389 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: I'm talking to her right now, arian someone. Okay, Well, 390 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: you said every Sean. Well, in her book she talks 391 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: about this, uh, this conference that she was thrown and 392 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: it hit her with a budget. There was like almost 393 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 1: a half million dollars. Okay, when the guy came in 394 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: and this is what it's gonna cost, and she had 395 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: never done this before. That remind to me when I 396 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,639 Speaker 1: threw my through My first neighborhood awards was HOODI Awards 397 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: in l A. I had never done that before, avering 398 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 1: and I had a budget and I pulled it off. 399 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: That's one story right there. Then she gets into the 400 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: book and she talks about her favorite story to shopping 401 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: is Ze Gallery. You want to know, Mrs Simone, one 402 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: of my favorite stories to shopping is z Gallery. Then 403 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,919 Speaker 1: she goes, Then she goes right here, Where did she 404 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 1: go to church in Los Angeles? At West Angeles Church 405 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,880 Speaker 1: of Garden Christ. What do you think ras Sean went 406 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles? Bishop Blake. Then Rashan McDonald doesn't accept 407 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,880 Speaker 1: no for an answer, because I would walk. In a book, 408 00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,880 Speaker 1: she talks about walking and being being, being, being a confident. 409 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: I would walk in places. Of course, you know, always 410 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 1: had a tailor suit over, so that helped a little bit. 411 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 1: I would walk in venues, wouldn't pay. I just look 412 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: at people and you walk on by, like I supposed 413 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: to be. I'm supposed to be in the venue. She 414 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: talks about this in the book presenting yourself as a success, 415 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: presenting yourself like you belong, presenting yourself so people can 416 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 1: treat you like a king or a queen that you 417 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 1: are that is, that is me mrmone if we have 418 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: medicines two thousand four. So so when I see it, 419 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:47,360 Speaker 1: when I read about the Fearless fun, now I go, okay, 420 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: it's everything is natural for me. Now everything makes sense 421 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: to me why I'm interviewing you on this show today, 422 00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 1: because you have a quality within you that truly is 423 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: hear list. I've never used the word fearless. I always 424 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: tell people that, you know, I wake up. I wake 425 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,719 Speaker 1: up to get up. I go to sleep to get up. 426 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,439 Speaker 1: That's my goal. I wake up because when I wake up, 427 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: I have a plan. Every time I wake up, I 428 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: don't go to sleep. I was telling the reason why 429 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,680 Speaker 1: of people find it difficult to get out of bed. 430 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: They have no reason to get up. They never set 431 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: a goal to get up. They ever said I'm gonna 432 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,199 Speaker 1: do this when I'm gonna get up. They just what 433 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. I know what I'm gonna do when 434 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: I get up. I may not want to get up 435 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: but I know I have some stuff to do. That's 436 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: why I get on up out that bed. And that's 437 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: your personality upside down, Ryn, flip over top everything three sixty. 438 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: That's you. Thank you, thank you so much.

The thought principle, when you you know 443 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: you believe in something, it will happen, which is which 444 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: is That's how I think, and everybody should think. The 445 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 1: speech principle, if you say it, you expect it to happen. 446 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 1: Focused on that happening, all these different things that you 447 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,359 Speaker 1: talked about, you know, the the action principle. You know. 448 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: It's just really really a special book. And you know 449 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: when you when you did you sit down and discuss 450 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 1: with individuals different chapters or you just just just just 451 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: put it all out there and sat down with an 452 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: editor and said, this is my vision and I want 453 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,199 Speaker 1: to get it. Tell us of thoughts behind getting this 454 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: book out to the press. Oh my gosh, like I said, 455 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: what you said, did I start you down? No? Because 456 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: it looks different it looks. It took on a whole 457 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:45,600 Speaker 1: new meetings during happening in the world right now. I 458 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 1: first set out to do this, the book was gonna 459 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: be releasing at the Sucessible and that book store, like 460 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: everything was different right now, I thought the process of 461 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: I knew it was needed because the book is got 462 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: upon one premier that people have more fear and going 463 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 1: broke than they do faith and having abundange. And the 464 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,920 Speaker 1: reality is that both of those things are unseen. Fear 465 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,360 Speaker 1: is unseen and faith is unseen. You choose to adopt 466 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: which one you want to follow. So I knew I 467 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 1: wanted to book out for that one reason, just in itself. 468 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,359 Speaker 1: I had no idea that the world would turn into 469 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: all of what everything happened in the course of twenty 470 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 1: So it took on a whole another meaning as far 471 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 1: as just like you're saying, getting it out into the world, 472 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,640 Speaker 1: getting out to the press, of making sure um it 473 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: lives in this space. It's more timely now than I 474 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,719 Speaker 1: had ever even imagined when I said out to do this, Oh, 475 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: most definitely. And I forgot this one other thing that 476 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,959 Speaker 1: made me in you very similar a quote that your 477 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,160 Speaker 1: mom told you. Mom said value of giving from a 478 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: pure place. She said that to you. And I have 479 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 1: a good friend of mine she uh Whinny we call 480 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:04,159 Speaker 1: Robinson and um very famous actress and she has his 481 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: dance studio Actors Studio in Los Angeles. And I would 482 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: always I would care how hard I was, because everybody, 483 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 1: you know entertainment, you have peaks and valleys. You know, 484 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: if I had a value, I still send my checks 485 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: to her. I had to send my check to it 486 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: had because I made a commitment. That's that pure space 487 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: when there's no agenda, when you when you're doing something 488 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: and you don't realize you're changing people's lives, but somehow 489 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 1: it's been put upon you. And that's the pure space 490 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,520 Speaker 1: your mom was talking about.
