For 23 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 1: those of you that attended the training that I hosted 24 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, Georgia, it was over three hundred of us. 25 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: It was phenomenal as anybody who went, And if you 26 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: don't know anybody who went, then you can go to 27 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: Tesla and Figura dot com click on push the Line 28 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: training and you will see the highlight video there for yourself. 29 00:01:55,760 --> 00:02:02,279 Speaker 1: After the training, I received so many requests from people 30 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: all over literally, and when I say all over, I 31 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: mean all over. If you attended the training, then you 32 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: know that we have people. They came from Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, 33 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: Ohio of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia. I mean I 34 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: was just blowing away how people one particular brow drove 35 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: from Virginia, people came from DC. I mean, people really 36 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 1: got their resources together to come to this training. And 37 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: it was mind blowing to me. One because I you know, 38 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: one thing about working in this space or being called 39 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,720 Speaker 1: for this space, and you will see that as you 40 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 1: continue to organize is it is very isolating. It's set 41 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,399 Speaker 1: up to make you feel as if you're by yourself, 42 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 1: because the whole thing is to get you distracted and 43 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,440 Speaker 1: to get you not focused. So a lot of times 44 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: you're in such isolation, so busy keeping your head down 45 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: with your eye on the prize, that you don't even 46 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: you're not even aware of the impact that you may 47 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: or may not be made. At least that's for me. 48 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: So I'm always taken aback and humble when I see 49 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: that people really invested their time and their resources to 50 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: get this information. It also told me that this is 51 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: not only a need for the community, it is an 52 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: absolute necessity. And I knew that when I put the 53 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: program together, but it's one thing when you when you're 54 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: a visionary and you put it together and then you 55 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: actually see it come to fruition. It confirmed that this 56 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: is something that you know, we really really really need. 57 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: So before I talk about the tour, I just want 58 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: to take you back and you know, tell you why 59 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: I decided to do it in the first place, to 60 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: do the training in the first place. For those of 61 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: you that may not have followed my work, you know, 62 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: over the period of time, my bios on teslacrevo dot 63 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 1: com if you click on about us, I go into 64 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: more detail on my bios and campaigns that I've worked on. 65 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: But I've worked on dozens and dozens of races on 66 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: the local and the state. I've been a candidate myself. 67 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: I've played roles everything from political director to director communications. 68 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: I didn't lay all of that down on my bio, 69 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: but I have a pretty good some some pretty good information. 70 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: If you want to know, you know more about me 71 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: and before I ran as a candidate or throughout my 72 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: political calling. I say calling because some people look at 73 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 1: this as a career, and that's okay. We talk about 74 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: that in the training. But I've attended numerous trainings. I 75 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: went to Congressional Black Caucus training at that time in 76 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: two thousand and ten. You had to a person from 77 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: Congress had to send you, had to send you to 78 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: that training. NBC congress Or Down sent me to the 79 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: training in DC, and let me turn off the music 80 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: course taking because I want to make sure that you 81 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,600 Speaker 1: hear me. I normally liked the music, but I want 82 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 1: to make sure to you that you hear me. So 83 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 1: congress Dorman Brown sent me to the training in Washington, 84 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: DC in two thousand and ten. And it's so interesting 85 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: because I've just seen one of my classmates last two 86 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 1: weeks ago, when whatever That was when I was in 87 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 1: LA at the end of LACP Awards and I saw 88 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 1: him for the first time just two thousand and ten. 89 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: I always I also went to Emily Lists. They have training, 90 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,839 Speaker 1: you know, various you know, like small pocket training that 91 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 1: they do throughout the year. I've been to the White 92 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: House Project, I've been to Roofless. I've been to uh 93 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: Yale Campaign School for Women. That was a training that 94 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: costs a couple of thousand dollars over a three day period. Um. 95 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: I've attended Legal Women Voters. Not only did I go 96 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,600 Speaker 1: to many of their trainings, I also hosted. I was 97 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: a board member in the leg at the Lingual Women 98 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,839 Speaker 1: Voters in Orlando, Florida. So I have been a part 99 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: of numerous trainings and I have yet And I thought 100 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: that when I got to CBC Congressional Black Caucus training. 101 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: This is no shade on Congressional Black cau because it 102 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: just is what it is. But I thought when I 103 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 1: got to CBC that that would be the place that 104 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: would find because most of the other trainings that I 105 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: just talked to you about word white lead trainings. So 106 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,679 Speaker 1: I thought when I went to CBC that Okay, great 107 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to go to CBC Congressional Black Caucus, and 108 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: now I'm going to get a training that is more 109 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: aligned with you know, that can speak to me and 110 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 1: knows more of my story and how they could possibly 111 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: relate to what it was that I wanted to do 112 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: in the community. And from the moment I got to 113 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 1: the training, and I'll never forget this, and I'm very 114 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: transparent with my story and if you follow me, and 115 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: particularly if you come to my training alone, and a 116 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,119 Speaker 1: lot about me. But I remember, you know, I only 117 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: it was almost like I had lent in my pocket 118 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: because I was just starting my business of the Allied Group. 119 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: I hadn't made. I was laid off the year previous 120 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: to that, I had an infant. I didn't I was 121 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: on unemployment. I remember the shoes that I had on 122 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,520 Speaker 1: had like they were becoming holes were becoming you know, 123 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: we're showing at the bottom of my shoe. And because 124 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: they were so worn at the time. And I went 125 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: to that training, I didn't have to pay anything. Carcuss 126 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: from Brown sent me there and the first speaker that 127 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: came in was Elijah Cummings, and I was in tears 128 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: his whole speech because He was talking about how he 129 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: came you know, he grew up poor, and he came 130 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: from Baltimore, and he had a stuttering problem, and how 131 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: when he first got in Congress he needs he struggled 132 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: with speaking, and how God has spoke to him about 133 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: you know, even though you have a speech impediment, this 134 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: is why I sent you. And so his story was 135 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 1: just so powerful to me. And I remember my classmates 136 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: looking at me like I was crazy because they didn't 137 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: understand why I was so emotional, because they also too 138 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: they were sent there by Congress people. A lot of 139 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: them had worked were working with Congress people, so they 140 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: kind of had that button up stuff. He kind of feel, 141 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: you know, like, oh my god, I can't believe she's crying. 142 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: I can't believe she isn't that. But I was just 143 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: so overwhelmed because I knew where I had came from, 144 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: I knew what God had saved me from. I knew 145 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: where I was supposed to be. I knew that I 146 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: had never had anybody Cargress or Abrow was the first 147 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: time anybody ever said, you know what, I think there's 148 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 1: more to you, what I want to invest in you. 149 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: I had never had that not in family and friends hookups. 150 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 1: Never So when I was there, I felt so connected 151 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: to what he was saying that it just absolutely changed 152 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:56,599 Speaker 1: my life. But then after the first speech and I 153 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,319 Speaker 1: began to network. Was now they do a mock training 154 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: where they run you through like where you pretend that 155 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 1: you're going to be a candidate or an operator. And 156 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: so they had a stand up and you know, everybody 157 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 1: gave a speech and everybody, you know, um and the 158 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,559 Speaker 1: room voted on who should be a candidate. And they 159 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: selected me as a candidate. And they they and everybody 160 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: who had to draw. I think they just assigned us. 161 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: They said, Okay, Tessen, you're gonna be the Republican candidate, 162 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: and whoever the other person was would be a matter 163 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: of fact of it was. And I apologize if he's 164 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 1: listening to this, because I forgot your name, but I 165 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,959 Speaker 1: saw him last two weeks ago at the NAACP. They 166 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 1: made him the Democrat candidate, and then somebody else the 167 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: independent candidate. So they set me up already to be 168 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: who nobody in the room liked. Now followed me. They 169 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 1: set me up to already be what nobody in the 170 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: room would vote for. Because the CBC everybody in that 171 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 1: room was Democrats for the most part, so they gave me, 172 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: you know, okay, yere go be the Republican candidate and go. 173 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: You know, I think it was a three or four 174 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: day maybe five day, and you're gonna have the develop 175 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: a message that you get people to buy into. And 176 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 1: when I tell you that those three or four days 177 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: really pushed me to a limit of number one, I 178 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: almost turned over the tables and got with somebody. But 179 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: it really pushed me to the limit because although it 180 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:31,959 Speaker 1: was a mock environment, it still was a test on 181 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: showing me how even those that were with me were 182 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: against me. Follow me on that those who were with 183 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: me were against me. Now, some of y'all who have 184 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: a perfect life may not understand that, but I just 185 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: want somebody to put three in the chat. If you 186 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: know what it is to have people who are with 187 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: you and against you, what does that mean? Tells them? 188 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: How can somebody be with you and against you? Well, 189 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: that means that even though your family may be with you, 190 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: even though your brothers and sisters may be with you, 191 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 1: even though your team may be with you, even though 192 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: they may have been a sign to be with you, 193 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: there is sometimes in life where even those who are 194 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: with you are against you. And I remember there was 195 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 1: one particular young lady who was on my team that 196 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: wanted to be the candidate. She wanted to go on 197 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: the candidate track, and she begin to be jealous of 198 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: me just because I was selected. Somebody has tag selected 199 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: because I didn't think I was gonna preach to you, 200 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: But since I'm headed to Bishops Church and gonna preach tomorrow, 201 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 1: I might as well do a warm up. See, there's 202 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: something about being selected. So even though I was selected 203 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: and I didn't raise my hand, I didn't say I 204 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: want to do this. I didn't elect myself. I was selected. 205 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: I was chosen based upon the words that came out 206 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: of my mouth. More of the people enough in the 207 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: room to say this is who should be a candidate. 208 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: I didn't even go Marcelas with my hand up saying 209 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 1: this is what I want to do. I simply was 210 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: just chosen. I simply was just selected. And then as 211 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: I went through those next few days, I even had 212 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: to ask myself, why is it that I was chosen 213 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: and selected four times such as this? Why is it God, 214 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: when you know that my temper will slapt the taste 215 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: out somebody's mouth. Why is it when you know I 216 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: didn't come here looking for this. Why is it when 217 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: you know I don't even want to be a candidate, 218 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: I'm trying to be something else. Why is it that 219 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: you put me in this position and you put me 220 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: up with the lights on? And not only did you 221 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: put the lights on me, but you had everybody who 222 00:12:52,160 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: was on my team be against me. And so as 223 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: I went through the mod the different challenges that we 224 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: had to go through, and my speech at the end, 225 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: I'll never forget. It was about stand up, and it 226 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: was about standing up for who you what you believe in, 227 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,680 Speaker 1: and standing with those you believe in, and standing with 228 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: And I tell you, guys, I tell you that even 229 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: this is not bragging. I'm just telling you, the Anointing 230 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: was so powerful in the room that even those who 231 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,199 Speaker 1: were against me had to stand up. Because there's something 232 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: called the anointing that destroys the yoke. When you dig 233 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 1: into yourself, shout out to my side. When you dig 234 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,199 Speaker 1: into yourself and you speak from what you know, not 235 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: what you heard, and you speak from your pain, you 236 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: will begin to have a prophetic voice that can even 237 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: make your enemies stand and recognize your power. The Bible 238 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: says the enemy will be my footstool. That you may 239 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: not know what that means. And if you're not a 240 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: believer in tap out now, but if you are a believer, 241 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: then what that means is. Even my enemies who were 242 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 1: against me in that training, they had to stand up 243 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,040 Speaker 1: because the anointing the power hit him in the spirit 244 00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: and hit him in the conscious in a way that 245 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: they had to stand with me, even though I was 246 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: somebody that they disagreed with, that they did not believe in, 247 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: that they did not like. But there's something about the 248 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: power that is in you and can make your enemies 249 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: be your footstool. So after leaving that training and then 250 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: going to numerous other trainings and dealing in Orlando, Florida, 251 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: I've said on numerous boards, like I said, Legal Woman Voters, 252 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: African American Chamber of Congress, I was an ambassador chair there. 253 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: I was Central Florida Young Professionals Committee. I was on 254 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 1: that committee one Orlando Business Journal twice in two thousand 255 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: and ten, two thousand and twelve, I had three hundred employees. 256 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: Altessela and you your brag and no, I'm just giving 257 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: you the receipts you got. You gotta have the receipts 258 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: because it's twity people in these YouTube streets talking and 259 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 1: on Twitter talking and on Instagram talking, telling y'all about 260 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: politics that have never ever worked a race. And although 261 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: they have great ideas, I want you to understand the 262 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: difference between my training and what everybody else is doing 263 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: is talking, which actually giving you real information, a real 264 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: thought out, real curriculum that you can take and you 265 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 1: can apply in your individual community.

I was 267 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: appointed to that by Commissioner Commissioner Tippany Moore Russell. I 268 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 1: also said on the metro Plan Board, that is the 269 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: transportation the city of the Every city has a board 270 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: that manages the entire transportation system. I was the citizen 271 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 1: I was on the Citizens Advisory Committee, and I actually 272 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: was a face of metro Plan in two thousand and eleven. 273 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: If you go Google two thousand and eleven, put in 274 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: two thousand and eleven teslad figure o put metro Plan, 275 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: you'll see my face pop up. I was on the 276 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: annual report. So I've done a lot in the areas 277 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: of housing in the areas of transportation, in the areas 278 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: of economic development, in the areas of healthcare, numerous numerous states, 279 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: and out of all of the trainings I've been to, 280 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: I have not been to one that gives you the 281 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: actual real deal. Now, I'm not even talking about my 282 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: experience that you guys mostly known me from and social justice. 283 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: I'm just talking about the races I've worked on, that 284 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: I've led, that I've managed, including Senator Bernie Sanders being 285 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: the National African Amulet and African American Outreach team, his 286 00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: first black folks somebody say, the first black folks that 287 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: worked for him in two thousand fifteen before many of 288 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: you even knew who Bernie Sanders was. When I got 289 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: on the plane, I'll never forget. My ex husband took 290 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 1: me to the airport and he was like, I just 291 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: feel like this is a waste of time. Who is 292 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 1: it you say you're working for again, his name is 293 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders. We had to literally tell people, okay, you know, 294 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: the old man with the white hair, and he did it. 295 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: Nobody even knew like who he was when I started 296 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 1: to work on his campaign. I also was Senator Turners. 297 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: Many of you know Senator Turner. I was heard director 298 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: of communications for years prior to our getting on the campaign, 299 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: which is why I got on the campaign because I'd 300 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: always been her director of communication with that particular race. 301 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,440 Speaker 1: I was the only African American from the national level 302 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: on the ground in Michigan charged with organizing Michigan. Never 303 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: had any contacts in Michigan, never lived in Michigan. They 304 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,440 Speaker 1: literally are just so y'all know that when you work 305 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 1: on a national campaign, they literally dropped you off, kind 306 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 1: of like military style. They drop you off and say, hey, 307 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: you've got three days to build this or two weeks 308 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: to build this. So we were dropped off like imagine 309 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: yourself parachuting down in a city, not knowing anybody at 310 00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: all and having to organize from the ground up. We 311 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 1: won Michigan by two percent. It was an upset. It 312 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: was really the only upset that Bernie Sanders is known for. 313 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: I was the only African American and I was credited 314 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: for being a vital component of a vital key staffer 315 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: with flipping that state. Well, why again, these are important 316 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: receipts because as you come to my training, which is 317 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 1: podcast is about, I'm going to give you a lot 318 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: of inside games. When I went to Michigan, Hillary Clinton 319 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: already had Detroit on lock, so I had to focus 320 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: on the outer city. So I decided to focus zero 321 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,639 Speaker 1: in on Flint. And I literally, this is what you organize. 322 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: Theres are gonna need to know literally how to just 323 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: go into a barber shop or to a church, or 324 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: just to a random person on the street and get 325 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: them to buy into your message. That is the type 326 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: of organizing that I've done ultimately, because I maintained those 327 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: relationships in Flint. Shout out to my key person in 328 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: Flint that I met, Daniel Greene, who I eventually had 329 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 1: her on MSNBC. I booked her several times. She is 330 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: now a school board member, an elected school board member. 331 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: You see how this works. She also helped me organize 332 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: the hundreds of people, thousands of people on the Flint 333 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: water crisis that I also was in charge with on 334 00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: behalf of Bernie's ben Crump that resulted in a six 335 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 1: hundred million dollars suit.

I 502 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: don't even know why they offer that feature, because as 503 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 1: a former over driver, it's no way to really it's 504 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 1: really weird why they have that feature, because it's normally 505 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: really never, it never comes to you on time. But 506 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 1: it's good for the sake of this metaphor, because even 507 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: in your mind, you have it set up that you're 508 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: gonna do such and such by such and such date, 509 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: and the over begins to slowly take a little bit longer. 510 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: I'm just talking to somebody that made a plan in 511 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: life and it's taking you just a little bit longer. 512 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: I'm just talking to somebody in life that had to 513 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 1: do a detour. I'm just talking to somebody in life 514 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 1: they had to stop and pause to finish their degree, 515 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 1: like I did about ten times, stopping and pausing, stopping 516 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: and pausing, stopping and pause, moving and changing changes. I've 517 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: lived in five member cities. I've moved over a dozen times. 518 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: I'm just talking to anybody to have to stop and 519 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: change and rearrange just a few more times, just a 520 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: few more detours, just a little bit arriving a little 521 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,280 Speaker 1: bit late. Just didn't didn't necessarily go with the plan. 522 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: Just I thought that I thought the over was gonna 523 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 1: get here at this time, but I see that I 524 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 1: had to pause it and pick up something my left 525 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 1: at the house. I had to turn back around and 526 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: get something else. I had to stop and start over. 527 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: I had to pause and get gas. I had to 528 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: I had to figure it out. And as a result, 529 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: I got to my destination late, or I didn't get 530 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: to my destination at all. Some of you are are 531 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 1: trying to get to your destination right now. This is 532 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: what I mean when I say politics until something happens. 533 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: Politics is not just about changing your community for others, 534 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 1: but it's also for you. It also can be power 535 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: until something happens. Push until something happens. That's why I 536 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: say push the line. There is a line that you 537 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,760 Speaker 1: have to push in order to get to the destination. 538 00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: And if you've been called for this work, not only 539 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 1: are you charged with getting yourself to the destination, your 540 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: family to the destination, but you got about fifty pounds 541 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: on your back because you have been called to also 542 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: bring the community with you. This is why I speak 543 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: the way that I do, because those that come out 544 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: here and say that they've been charged to do X 545 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 1: y Z with the community and they give up, it 546 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: tells me that either they need to take another trip 547 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: around the burning bush and stop playing with our people. 548 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: Because when you've been called for this work. You have 549 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 1: a responsibility to not only navigate for yourself in your family, 550 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: but all so for the community. It is a responsibility. 551 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,280 Speaker 1: And just like an Uber driver for those who are 552 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,960 Speaker 1: joining us, we're using the Uber, I'm using an Uber metaphor. 553 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: I have to be mindful of where I'm taking people 554 00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 1: within my knowledge, have to be mindful of what it 555 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: is that I'm telling you. I have to be mindful 556 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: of my detour. Because when you get out the Obber drive, 557 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: the Ober the Uber drive, don't it ask you for 558 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 1: a review. I just want to know if the some 559 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: Uber drivers in the half, is this some people that's 560 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: trying to get to a destination? Is it some people 561 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 1: that's trying to bring some other people to the destination? Hell, 562 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: I remind you that you're gonna get a review at 563 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 1: the end of it all. See why you're worried about 564 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: everybody else. I just want, I just need you to 565 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,520 Speaker 1: know that at the end of it all, that somebody 566 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: gonna have to put a five star review, a four 567 00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: star review, a three star review. Have then it? Am 568 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 1: I the only one ever been in an Uber driver. 569 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: I think when you in the uber it also tells you. 570 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: It doesn't even allow you to just say this person 571 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,880 Speaker 1: is a three star or a twoth star. It asks 572 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: for more information. I want to know why this ober 573 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 1: driver was a truth star or a three star, And 574 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 1: one of those options says it didn't follow the math. 575 00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 1: Somebody has tag didn't follow the map. Oh, I'm going 576 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: somewhere with this one. I think I got my message 577 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 1: for tomorrow Massachusetts. See you're not you're not following the map. 578 00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: Can I talk to somebody in there that is being detoured? 579 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: You're not following the map. You're so caught up on 580 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: what everybody else is talking about. You're so caught up 581 00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 1: in foolishness. You're so caught up in trash, you're so 582 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 1: called up in gossip. You're so caught up that you're 583 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:54,960 Speaker 1: not following the map the destination. Again, if you're not 584 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: a believer, and I guess you ain't got an worry about. 585 00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: But I'm talking about those of us who are believing 586 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: the leave. There's gonna be a review on my name. 587 00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,560 Speaker 1: I believe that when they say I shall wear a crown, 588 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,840 Speaker 1: I believe that the questions don't have to be asked, 589 00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,240 Speaker 1: well done by good and faithful serviancy. I'm not waiting 590 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: on you in the comments to give me a review. 591 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,879 Speaker 1: Let me say it again, I'm not waiting on you 592 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: in the comments to give me a review.

You don't even have 658 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,080 Speaker 1: to see my face. And it touched your spirit, then 659 00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 1: you better allow. The Bible says he'll send a comforter. 660 00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:58,600 Speaker 1: You better allowed it. Sometimes you just got to cry 661 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,520 Speaker 1: that thing out. I do it all the time. Sometimes 662 00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:02,879 Speaker 1: you just got to sit back and you just got 663 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: to let it out. Let it out. Ain't nobody gonna know. 664 00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,879 Speaker 1: Have a good cry. It's been many of times. I've 665 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,880 Speaker 1: worked on jobs, I've been in a different places, and 666 00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: sometimes I just got to go to the bathroom and 667 00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,839 Speaker 1: just let it out. Me and too. You better let 668 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,360 Speaker 1: it out. Don't let that thing sit up inside of you. 669 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,399 Speaker 1: You better let it out, because in the Bible says 670 00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: that he'll keep your tears for you. He will keep 671 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,560 Speaker 1: them for you. Those are your blessings that will overflow 672 00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 1: that you don't have room enough to receive. I'm glad 673 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,279 Speaker 1: to know I was able to touch somebody. So the 674 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: chour will be every Saturday except the first Saturday in 675 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,879 Speaker 1: July because that falls into the July fourth weekend. Rest 676 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: in peace to my dad who was passed away on 677 00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:49,600 Speaker 1: July fourth. Never forget. But every weekend I'm starting out 678 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:56,680 Speaker 1: with Houston first, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. Houston, 679 00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Chicago, New York. The tour will be. If 680 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,320 Speaker 1: you go to my push the Line page Tesla prevroad 681 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:12,120 Speaker 1: dot com, you can read again, look at the look 682 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 1: at the testimonials, always check your receipts, and look at 683 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 1: what the program is about. It's five topics by me. 684 00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 1: Many of you came to my training with my other 685 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,759 Speaker 1: trainers and I had to dip in and out of 686 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 1: the class. This one is all me, so you get 687 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,520 Speaker 1: all ME loving on you all day. And we're going 688 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:37,759 Speaker 1: over all five of them, which is candidates. If you're 689 00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 1: a candidate, an operative meaning you want to work on 690 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 1: a campaign or an organizer, you can attend this, or 691 00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:43,640 Speaker 1: if you just want to come just get some skills. 692 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,400 Speaker 1: You'll learn something from it. But it's team roles and responsibilities, 693 00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: community coalition building, campaign planning, compliance and campaign management. So 694 00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 1: those five core topics I'm gonna do as much as 695 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: I possibly can that one day, I'm gonna pin this down. 696 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,799 Speaker 1: Thank you Sweedart for putting my website at the thing. 697 00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,359 Speaker 1: But this is what you get for the packaging, y'all. 698 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: Let me know you know how you feel about this. 699 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: The package is five for one fifty, five for one 700 00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty. What does that mean? You get five 701 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:21,120 Speaker 1: classes for one hundred and fifty. And when I say 702 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,440 Speaker 1: five classes, I'm not talking about the five components because 703 00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,879 Speaker 1: all of those there are five components. But you're going 704 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: to get a one a one day with me in person, 705 00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: and then four continuing education classes for online, all for 706 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,520 Speaker 1: the low, low, low low price of one hundred and 707 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:43,840 Speaker 1: fifty dollars. I have to charge something because I have 708 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:47,160 Speaker 1: over fifty and I'm not lying when I tell y'all 709 00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:50,440 Speaker 1: over fifty cities that have asked me to come, and 710 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 1: so it just makes no sense. I just cannot afford 711 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: to pay for my own travel and hotel and the 712 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,759 Speaker 1: facility and where everybody wants me to go. That just 713 00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,360 Speaker 1: makes no sense. I'm not gonna go bank. That's just dumb. 714 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: So the training, it also will be small. Most of 715 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:15,240 Speaker 1: these places that I'm booking holds thirty maybe fifty maybe 716 00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,040 Speaker 1: the max that I've seen is sixty five. So this 717 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,759 Speaker 1: is not which I like it that way. To be 718 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,200 Speaker 1: honest with you, guys, I'm looking at an average of 719 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 1: probably fifty people per city. So when I put this out, 720 00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 1: if you're interested, jump on it right away. You'll get 721 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,440 Speaker 1: the one day training, and then I'm going to do 722 00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,239 Speaker 1: four more, which should be once a quarter for your 723 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,000 Speaker 1: particular class. This is really important to me, two guys, 724 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:44,120 Speaker 1: because one thing that has been frustrating is I go 725 00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 1: to all of these classes, these trainings, and I don't 726 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: ever see the people again. Like I said, I just 727 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: saw my classmate from two thousand and ten two weeks 728 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 1: ago that CBC never connected us again. We never got 729 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,399 Speaker 1: a chance to dialogue, to see, hey, what work for you? 730 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: How do we connect? And I don't want that to 731 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: be the case. I want if I'm coming to he'll 732 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 1: stand and fifty people are in the room, then those 733 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,160 Speaker 1: same fifty people we're going to get on a zoom 734 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,680 Speaker 1: once a quarter, you know, four times for the next 735 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 1: color of the year, and I'm going to give you 736 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 1: more training, and we're gonna have dialogue and I want 737 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:17,080 Speaker 1: to see what's working and not working and hopefully. I 738 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,160 Speaker 1: really want to film some of this to catalog it. 739 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: That sound good, So you're going to get the in 740 00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: person training and then the additional four online with just 741 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,240 Speaker 1: your class, because you want to keep building with these folks, 742 00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,439 Speaker 1: and I want you to develop relationships with each other. 743 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,640 Speaker 1: Because the only way my dream is that we have 744 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: a class of fifty and somebody in the class runs, 745 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,600 Speaker 1: and everybody else in that class supports that person, either 746 00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 1: as an operative or an organizer, and we're able to 747 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:53,840 Speaker 1: tell that story. That sound good? Y'all like that? You know. 748 00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:55,880 Speaker 1: I'm doing a quick little poll because a lot of 749 00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,840 Speaker 1: you I trust. So does that sound good? You know? 750 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,200 Speaker 1: I struggle with charge people because I don't never want 751 00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: you to thank you on me. But I want to 752 00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 1: be crystal clear. This is not a donation. This is 753 00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 1: you paying for a class just like you would at 754 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,799 Speaker 1: a community college, you know, in your local town. Only 755 00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 1: I'm giving you five courses for one fifty. It is 756 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 1: really important, guys that I'm also at people like if 757 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: you bring me five people. I'm thinking about saying, if 758 00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,719 Speaker 1: you bring me five, then your store your admission can 759 00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,359 Speaker 1: be free. I'm trying to see if that works. And 760 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,280 Speaker 1: those are the ones that build out the information online 761 00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,040 Speaker 1: and they want to help because if you're city and 762 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,799 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna trip and beg about this, I'm telling 763 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,480 Speaker 1: you I'm not. I'm gonna put the tour out there. 764 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 1: You'll get the location thirty days before. I'm starting way 765 00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 1: in advance, because we're gonna start this in July. If 766 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,400 Speaker 1: the city, if the cities don't get at least thirty 767 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,120 Speaker 1: people for every city, then I'm just gonna cancel. I'm 768 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: not gonna come on and say, hey, guys, come on, 769 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 1: y'all need to come fill it up. That was a 770 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:54,319 Speaker 1: lot of pressure that I had to do the first 771 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,759 Speaker 1: time because we had spent all of the money to 772 00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: get that big, large room, and so the pressure was 773 00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: on me to get three hundred people in the room 774 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 1: because I didn't want the food to go to waste. 775 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:05,759 Speaker 1: I don't want the facility to go to waste. And 776 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:09,839 Speaker 1: that was a seventy thousand plus investment. And so this 777 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: time I'm working backwards, which means I have several locations 778 00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,280 Speaker 1: that I can use, some as small that hold thirty 779 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 1: and as large sha can hold sixty five or seventy. 780 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,040 Speaker 1: But it's not charging you a gang of money. It's 781 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 1: something you know, we all can afford to be in 782 00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:28,800 Speaker 1: the room. So but that means, though, if you're a city, 783 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:31,799 Speaker 1: if you don't have thirty people, then i just have 784 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:33,719 Speaker 1: to cancel the city because I'm not going you know, 785 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get on here. Come on, he said, 786 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,640 Speaker 1: let's get five more people. We'll just go on to 787 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 1: the next city. You know that, And that's that's totally fine. 788 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 1: So I'll fly in to the cities I've mentioned on 789 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,440 Speaker 1: a Friday and then we'll do the training all day 790 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,160 Speaker 1: on Saturday. I can get back home on Sunday and 791 00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,000 Speaker 1: start my full time job, and we'll get this going. 792 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,400 Speaker 1: If those four cities do well, then I'll continue. I 793 00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 1: will give my weekends to do this. Or those of 794 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: you that say, hey, come to Baltimore, come here, come there. 795 00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm using those four cities because according to my analytics 796 00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 1: on my Instagram page, those are the five I have 797 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 1: the majority of people that follow me in New York, Chicago, La, Houston, 798 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,600 Speaker 1: and Atlanta. I didn't put Atlanta in this first round 799 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:21,920 Speaker 1: because I've already been to Atlanta once and you guys know, 800 00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:23,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be tapping in with Atlanta all the time, 801 00:45:23,719 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to get a couple of candidates to 802 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 1: run there. So stand by Atlanta Nowharries, We're coming back 803 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,760 Speaker 1: to you, but we gotta get some other cities as well. 804 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,160 Speaker 1: But if this works and it works well, then hey, 805 00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 1: we'll do four more cities in August and we'll just 806 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:42,080 Speaker 1: continue it on.

That 902 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,359 Speaker 1: means that we're only we only listen to things that 903 00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:32,160 Speaker 1: we can see in videos and entertainment and all of that. 904 00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:34,560 Speaker 1: That's why I turn my video off most times because 905 00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:36,720 Speaker 1: I like you guys to listen. We have to become 906 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,239 Speaker 1: audio learners because that's where you get your information from, 907 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,120 Speaker 1: not trying to see if my face is beat and 908 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,879 Speaker 1: my lashes and my lipstick and all that. So it's 909 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: really important that we start learning how to be audio learners. 910 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:48,920 Speaker 1: So if you can do that, that will not only 911 00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,600 Speaker 1: help my show, but also blackiefat podcast network that has 912 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:56,120 Speaker 1: invested millions and millions of dollars to say to a 913 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,280 Speaker 1: hard listen, black people also should be in the podcast space. 914 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,120 Speaker 1: So help out, help us out a great deal when 915 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,440 Speaker 1: you subscribe to our shows, because again, we are competing 916 00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:11,080 Speaker 1: with majority un industry that is that is white lad majority. 917 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: You know, people love getting on YouTube and you know, 918 00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:16,839 Speaker 1: setting up shows and podcasts and videos and all of that. 919 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,920 Speaker 1: There's a plethora of that. But in the audio podcast space, 920 00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 1: seventy percent of the listeners are white, and it is 921 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 1: a space that is very underrepresented when you talk about audio. 922 00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:31,520 Speaker 1: So that's really really really important, really important. Some of 923 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 1: the top shows in the country on the podcast side 924 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:37,840 Speaker 1: are political white shows. We don't even tap into it 925 00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:41,280 Speaker 1: at all, and I'm hoping we can we can start 926 00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:43,479 Speaker 1: to change that.
