He's the reason I wrote. 103 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 5: My book Race Matters and Pay Medicine, How. 104 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 3: I made money, lost ninety pounds and driving from pain. 105 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: He was interesting because a lot of sickle cell patients 106 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,599 Speaker 2: get stereotype as drug users when they come in and 107 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: try to seek drug medication because they know what they're 108 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: supposed to get and they know they know why they 109 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 2: should be getting it, and people will call them or 110 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: accuse them being drug users, so that a lot of 111 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 2: it is due to the fact because they are people 112 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 2: of color, they are offering the minority community and people 113 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: are stereotyping them. So I would have to say that 114 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 2: you oftentimes was a victim of stereotyping. 115 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:22,799 Speaker 1: Correct. 116 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, even despite the numbers that most of the 117 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 3: people who are dying from this do not look like us. 118 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: Wow. Now it was something you put out there that 119 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: I wanted to bring back because in twenty twenty, doing 120 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 2: COVID therapy became a rise in the black community, you know, 121 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 2: became a normal part of the conversation, the mental health conversation. 122 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 2: A lot of famous people started confessing their issues, a 123 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 2: lot of athletes started confessing their issues or with mental health, 124 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: and they COVID really sent people over the edge. A 125 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 2: lot of relationships were lost during the COVID period due 126 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: to mental strain. Now you said the word therapy.

It takes about an hour, and kind 331 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 3: of groggy from my morning managed to kick in. Typically 332 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:17,600 Speaker 3: I'm on Mama recliner and I'm sort of in between 333 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 3: let's see, and then all of a sudden, bam, I'm lucid, 334 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 3: and I'm that way for the next few hours. That's 335 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 3: when that's when I'm trading. I'm looking at crypto, I'm 336 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 3: looking at crypto based box. I'm looking at it. 337 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 5: Well here, Karon Hunter had me on her show. I 338 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 5: told her Ribbean, is she it? 339 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 3: I hope she listened to me. Because she did, she 340 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,159 Speaker 3: would have more than she would have almost tripled her money. 341 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 3: I think it was straightening her by nine dollars to 342 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 3: share again. I think it's somewhere around twenty five twenty 343 00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 3: six now, so I so I look at the trends 344 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 3: and then I told everyone, hey, hey, listen, if you 345 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 3: want to trade, find other people. 346 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 5: Who like the trade as well, because what ends. 347 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 3: Up happening is that y'all former community.

So we have a meeting, 354 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 3: we discuss all of that, right, and then I go 355 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,919 Speaker 3: about the business of making some money. Afterwards, the meds 356 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 3: were off, the pain becomes sharp. I wait until about 357 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 3: four or so to take my afternoon meds. Then the 358 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 3: pain is really bad. I will hopefully make it to 359 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 3: the pool swim stretch, and then by around eight nine 360 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 3: o'clock I'm just on the floor waiting to take the 361 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 3: afternoon eds that will put me to sleep maybe around midnight, 362 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 3: and then do it all over again. 363 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 6: Wow. 364 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 2: I want to thank you for sharing that that story. 365 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 2: That's an honest story, and I want you to stick around, 366 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,600 Speaker 2: and I want to get back to the financial investing 367 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 2: because we only tip tip of the ice, Crea.
