And it is very hard, very hard. 24 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: I cannot stress enough, very very hard to push, um, 25 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: this type of content in the podcast space when you 26 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: are competing among entertainment shows in fact, and I don't 27 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: want to you know, put folks business out there, because 28 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: it's their business to tell. But a couple of um, 29 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: a couple of my podcast colleagues have had to uh 30 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: move their podcasts to different networks and outlets because it 31 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: is so difficult, um to compete among podcasts that are 32 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 1: talking about today's gossip and entertainment and so forth, and 33 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: so uh those particular podcasts, UH shows have had to 34 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 1: you know, relocate two different platforms that really center on 35 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 1: news because it is just so so so very hard. 36 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: I just can't express enough to get the marketing up 37 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: for this type of content, um. And that is why 38 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: you will always see, you know, more shares and likes 39 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: under Who's dating, who, Who's sleeping with? Who, Who's this 40 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: and that? Even when I every now and then I'll 41 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: post something on relationship. If you just kind of look 42 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,639 Speaker 1: at the post that I made about women being single 43 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: and choosing to be single look at the amount of 44 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: contents under the amount of comments under that people just 45 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 1: spawn with relationships and love and and sex and all 46 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: of that good stuff. And I'm not criticizing it at all. 47 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 1: It's why I post that every now and then, to 48 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 1: be honest with you, just to keep the algorithms, uh, 49 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: to keep my content in your feed. But when it 50 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 1: comes to this education, that is very very hard. So 51 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: if you do mean just that one favor and uh, 52 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: subscribe to the podcast, I will greatly appreciate it. With 53 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: that said, I wanted to make a couple of announcements 54 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: on a sound like church announcements. I want to make 55 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: a couple of announcements on uh the three upcoming trainings. Uh. 56 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: The cities have been selected. Uh, we're already in negotiation 57 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: with the venues. So this is really real. I'm not playing. 58 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: I'm done playing. I'm so over it and I'm over 59 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: it over it because I have seen more than enough, 60 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: and I have certainly seen way more than I have 61 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 1: wanted to see in the last couple of years or so, 62 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: and so the best way, guys, for me to not 63 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: lose focus is to try to pour into other people. 64 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: To believe that the miss leadership that I have witnessed, UM, 65 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 1: to do my very best to make sure that I 66 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 1: am offering something for the next person to come take 67 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: somebody's seat. And I'm not talking about just in elected leadership. 68 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: I'm talking about organization leadership. I'm talking about nonprofit, for profit, 69 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: whatever it is, elected positions, appointed positions. I have to 70 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: know personally, this is a personal cause. I have to 71 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: know that I'm doing something to at least make an 72 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: attempt to get the right person in place, because I 73 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: just I can't be anymore frank and honest with you 74 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: when I say it is too much bullshit in the game. 75 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: It is too much bullshit in the game. And I'm 76 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: not one to you know, create call out folks that 77 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 1: you don't haven't did any harm to me, or uh 78 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: put people on blasts outside of the real leadership like 79 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 1: this administration by you know, the people that have the power. 80 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 1: I don't cover for people for sure, UM, but I 81 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: do not, you know, go out of my way to 82 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: try to tear down other folks. UM. But what I 83 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: can tell you is it is too much bullshit in 84 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: the game. It just is. And the way I operate, 85 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: I am, UM, very disciplined, very disciplined about my business, 86 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: very discipline about me giving my word, very discipline about 87 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: if I say I'm going to do something, I do it. 88 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: I do it a head of time. And so because 89 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 1: of that, I don't work well with others. Now I 90 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: worked well fine in the corporate space.

It was one of the most 122 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 1: stressful times in my life. Never missed a payroll, never 123 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: missed a check, and I employed three hundred plus people. 124 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: I had to have a hundred and fifty people to 125 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: work every twenty four hours. So I have a UM. 126 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: I did up. I was a disability judicator for about 127 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: a year or so. Learned a lot with that. UH 128 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 1: in Oklahoma when I was working on the house cloth 129 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: rate case. So I've worked a lot of places. I've 130 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: done a lot everything from sweeping floors to uber driving 131 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: to substitute teaching. I did that in Oklahoma. I did 132 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: that in Texas as well, um as I was rebuilding 133 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: my business. Um So, I've done a lot from selling 134 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: shoes at dealers, UH, from cleaning hospital beds at Baptist Hospital, 135 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: I've done a lot. I've worked at Walmart, Target Venture 136 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,640 Speaker 1: as a as a as a kid in high school, 137 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: did a lot. I have a lot of hustle under 138 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: my belt. Um So because of that, I have a 139 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 1: very corporate way of doing things. Um And and the 140 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: nonprofit space has a lot of lacks, a lot of 141 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 1: um ability to not eat meat, deadlines and I just 142 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: cannot standard. There is huge mismanagement of funds, mismanagement of resources, 143 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: mismanagement of how things are done. And we see that 144 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: with Black Lives Matter. We see that what Black Lives 145 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 1: Matter and what's happening with Black Lives Matter is also 146 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: happening on the low, on the lower the organizations that 147 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: are much smaller um people are able to bullshit their 148 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: way through things. You know, for example, get a thirty 149 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: thou dollar grants, say they did this and did that 150 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: and really didn't do any of the ship that. It 151 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: allows a lot of bullshit. And that's why I have 152 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: a for profit organization. That's why I'm not a nonprofit organization, 153 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 1: and why I rarely partner with nonprofit organizations because what 154 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: I have learned is they're just allowed to make far 155 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: too many mistakes that are just unacceptable on the for 156 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: profit side, because the for profit side is driven based 157 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: upon results and getting ship done when you say you're 158 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: going to get ship done. And so I have had 159 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 1: um a gross amount of frustration of frustration with having 160 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: to work with folks who are typically in the nonprofit space. 161 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,320 Speaker 1: When you look at politics, I just can't stand it, guys, 162 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: And I mean literally can I stand it. I can't 163 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: stand excuses. I can't stand well, you know, I'm busy, 164 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: We're all busy. I'm busy to you're busy. But I 165 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: believe that when you say you're gonna do, somebody to 166 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: do it. When you say you're gonna do it. So 167 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: with that said, I wanted no delay and making sure 168 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: that you knew that I am serious about continuing to 169 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: expand my training division, which has always been in place. 170 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 1: By the way, this is just something that I'm doing 171 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: this push the line, boot Camp, Core five Core contract 172 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: contact competencies. Sorry I couldn't get the word out. Um 173 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,440 Speaker 1: that I've been offering to the community at large is 174 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: what's new. Um. I've always done training. I did one 175 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:07,080 Speaker 1: yesterday with the mothers of a youth organization, UH and 176 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: they were coming together to you know, do their annual 177 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 1: workshop on how to you know, recharge and and realign 178 00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: their focus. So I do that constantly. I do one 179 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: on one consulting all of the time. And no, I'm 180 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: not looking for clients, So please don't email me saying 181 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: I want someone on one because it's not happening. What 182 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm offering to you is to continue to push the 183 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: line boot Camp and I have wonderful trainers, make no 184 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: mistake about it, wonderful trainers. I do not want to 185 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: shout out to Christie, she's in the building right now. 186 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: I do not want you to think that because I'm 187 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 1: doing this by myself, that there is a problem with 188 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: the trainers. There absolutely is not. If I ask Christie, Hey, Christie, 189 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 1: come with me to Atlanta and come with me to 190 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: Los Angeles and come do it, and I don't have 191 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: the budgets to do it, she would still come. So 192 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: let's be very clear about that. The thing is, oh, 193 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: that is not how I operate. That it's not how 194 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 1: I operate. This is my up vision. I will push 195 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 1: it myself. This is also a training that you guys 196 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: need to know you don't want to start. I've seen 197 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: this happen in politics where people help you out. And 198 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying Christy would do this, but people help 199 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: you out there down the road that either try to 200 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: um if they feel they didn't get anything in return 201 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: because they didn't know how to parlay it appropriately, which 202 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: I even talked about that in the training, then it 203 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: causes problems. So I set out on this mission by 204 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: myself and I will continue to do it by myself. 205 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: And the reason why that's important is because you need 206 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: to know that you can do it by yourself. You 207 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: have to get into a position of understanding that you 208 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: do not have to have three and four and five 209 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: different people with you getting things done. Shout out to 210 00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: Andy Brown, who is graciously helping me on the back in, 211 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 1: you know, get these locations secured. But I didn't wait 212 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: on On the night, you know, yesterday with Los Angeles, 213 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: I figured out where I wanted to do it. I 214 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: got on the phone, I talked to my l a 215 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,080 Speaker 1: home is, Hey, can we go on this side of town, 216 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: that side of town. Let's make sure it's neutral. Ain't 217 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:21,359 Speaker 1: got busy and started the process of securing the location. 218 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: So it's just a simple matter of what it is 219 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: you can do. And if you're waiting on three and 220 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: four and five people to get it done, you'll never 221 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: get anything done. So with that said, I am I 222 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: have selected the two next in person trainings Atlanta. There 223 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: are two things that I'm offering more and core Core 224 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: and more. Somebody say core and more. What happened in 225 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: Atlanta was five Core UH Core courses, Core contriveracies, five 226 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,319 Speaker 1: sessions that I believe that you need to have as 227 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: a basic training. I create it the sessions, the topics 228 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: and the sub topics, and each one of my trainers 229 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 1: went in and put in notes their way. Now this 230 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: training will be five the five same Coors Core trainings, 231 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: but the notes will be my way, and I will 232 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: be addressing the candidate, the operative, and the organizer all 233 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: at the same time. O Tesla, how can you do that? Watch? 234 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: I talked to multiple people more, just like I do 235 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: here with you guys, I can have one slide and 236 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: address all three tracks at one time, and I can 237 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: mix it and remix it together. So did everybody get 238 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: what they need? And more? That was really the the 239 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: The idea was really to do all three at one time. 240 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: But I didn't want to wear you guys down with 241 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: twelve hours of me, so I split it up for 242 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: a reason because I wanted I wanted people to be 243 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: hyper focused on the on the topic. But that is 244 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: not what can happen in each city, each each and 245 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: every time, because it requires space that I'm not interested 246 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: in paying for. You know why, I'm not interested in 247 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 1: paying for it because I'm not interested in asking you 248 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 1: to give me five dollars, and I'm not interested in 249 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: asking somebody else to donate me five dollars. And number four, 250 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: I'm not interested in paying for it out my pocket 251 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: every single time to be able to hold that, you know, 252 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 1: to have three meeting rooms all at one time. So 253 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: that was a one time thing. It might be Biannual 254 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: maybe Triannual. Will see but in the meantime I will 255 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: meet Teslam figure on nobody else. I will get my 256 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: ass on the plane, come to you and give you 257 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: all five of those core competencies for all three tracks, 258 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: all at the same time. Somebody has hash tag at 259 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: the same time. Do you believe that I can do it? 260 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 1: I hope that you do. But if you don't, stick 261 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: around and find down all three at the same time. 262 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: So I will be doing that in Los Angeles. Look 263 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: for that to happen in January. Why does it happen 264 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: in January? Because I want to engage you guys for 265 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 1: at least sixty days sent out pre homework sent out 266 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: you know, the the glossary that we sent out to 267 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: you guys, so that you can get familiar so by 268 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: the time you come into class you are ready to go. 269 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: It won't be longer than sixty days. Uh maybe forty 270 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: five at best. Why because I did not like having 271 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: to organize four months straight, you know for the training 272 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: and um in September. That's way too much time I 273 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 1: could have done. I could have did two trainings throughout 274 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: that time and organize for four months straight and ask 275 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: people to share stuff and to stay on top of 276 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: and and make sure they shared it. I had to 277 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: get on people about doing what it was that was 278 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: supposed to do. And I don't like moving like that. 279 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: When I said I don't like big and only Boston, 280 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: I meant that. So what I've learned is it is 281 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: better to keep it really, really, really really small so 282 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: that I can do what needs to be done. It 283 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: can get done. I would rather be overworked than have 284 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 1: my blood pressure raised. I'm behind telling grown folks what 285 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: to do. I'm not going to do it. I'm not 286 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: gonna do it, so I need at least sixty days. 287 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 1: Los Angeles will kick off. I'm not worried about Los Angeles. 288 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: We would have more than enough people that that's my 289 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,159 Speaker 1: second one of my second homes or third homes. I 290 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: got a bunch of homes, but that's definitely one. Uh. 291 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: I'm talking to the homes. Yesterday they had a function. 292 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 1: We was on the live and it was twenty right 293 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: there that was saying we're in the building. We read. 294 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: So I'm very excited um about Los Angeles. Look for 295 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 1: that in January. I want to make sure we picked 296 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: the right date. I don't want to conflict with all 297 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 1: of the MLK activity and all that stuff. So we're 298 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 1: doing that in January Atlanta. If you were in Atlanta 299 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 1: and you came to the training, I'm going to do 300 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: a more course you attended the core, I'm gonna do 301 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 1: it more, which means that I'm gonna dig into. Uh. 302 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,440 Speaker 1: It won't be all five topics, but I will select 303 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 1: out of the five the three two or three that 304 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: I think we need to spend a lot more time in, 305 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: which will probably be uh, campaign management and on forward 306 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: to getting to your your final result, whether that be 307 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: an issue or a campaign or winning. I want to 308 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: take that a little bit further. Um So we'll our 309 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: big business that that one. We'll probably do that. Um 310 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: So in Atlanta, Good morning, Jada, thank you so much 311 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,160 Speaker 1: for your testimony where we got I got yours pool. 312 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,119 Speaker 1: Yours was very loud and clear. So I'm adding you 313 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 1: to our final highlight reel. Um So, anyway, that in Atlanta, 314 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 1: that is happening. Uh, I'm already the in negotiation for 315 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: the space. I want that to happen before the end 316 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: of the year. I'm thinking probably in December. I don't 317 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: want to get caught up in people's holidays Thanksgiving, so 318 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: probably the first or second week in December, on a Saturday, 319 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: before we get into the Christmas. I don't want to 320 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: wait until January because I don't want to lose the momentum. 321 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 1: Somebody has checked fifty to seventy people. It might even 322 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 1: just be fifty. It will not be a group, a 323 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: big group like last time. Not at all, not at 324 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: all one. I want a space um more than likely 325 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 1: a library if we're permitted to do it there that 326 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: doesn't cost anything, which means it's not gonna be able 327 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: to hold a bunch of folks. And I don't want 328 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:42,679 Speaker 1: it to be a bunch of folks because it's just 329 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 1: me training and I want to be able to engage 330 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: with each of you.

I'm not gonna do it. 334 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:02,480 Speaker 1: So Atlanta, get ready. I should have an answer for 335 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: you in the next week, no later than two, because 336 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: they have to have to wait on them to approve stuff. 337 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: But the location has already been selected. We're just waiting 338 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: on them to follow back up with us. I want 339 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: to end the date. We have to get the date. 340 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: I would like December, the first or second week in December, 341 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: but again I do have to wait on them in 342 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: their dates. I don't know what they have going on. 343 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: But Atlanta. Part two is coming. It's called More the 344 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: More course with Me, a full day with me in 345 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. The five core uh competencies that you need. 346 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,200 Speaker 1: I am doing myself. So if I do that one 347 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: full day, it will not be like the same. It 348 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 1: will probably be like a nine to five, a break 349 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: an hour, thirty minutes for you to go get lunch 350 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,439 Speaker 1: and come back. I'm not providing lunch. I can't do 351 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: that in every city, so this will be a small course. 352 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 1: Might be a day and a half. I might do 353 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 1: um Saturday and then half the day on Sunday, you know, 354 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,440 Speaker 1: Sunday afternoon or you know, something like that. We'll look 355 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: we'll look at it. Because it's just me, so uh, 356 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 1: no need in folks emailing me saying hey, I can help. 357 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: I can help with the training. I'm not trying to 358 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: be rude, guys, but people are in my way. I 359 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: don't need no help. All I need you to do 360 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: if you're in that city. If you want to show up, 361 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,239 Speaker 1: sign up, that's all you need to do. That's all 362 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 1: you need to do. Or share it, that's all you 363 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: need to do. You don't even have to do a 364 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: bunch of that because I'm positive I can get fifty 365 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,880 Speaker 1: people in the room. Pretty positive I get fifty people 366 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: in the room. So we're not doing no begging. I 367 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 1: know that asking people okay, share, k' share can share. 368 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 1: Not doing that that was too stressful. I'm not doing it. 369 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 1: Not doing it. I did it because you needed to 370 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: know that it could be done. I did it because 371 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: you needed to know that it could be done. You 372 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: needed to know that it is possible to get approximately 373 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty two seven two seventy ndred whatever 374 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: was in the room of black men and black women 375 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: to learn the a six to learn, not a panel, 376 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: not a podcast, not a Twitter audio space, not a YouTube, 377 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: but to learn step by step how to push the line. 378 00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:14,919 Speaker 1: We need to know that that could be done. You 379 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: need to know that it could happen in a nice 380 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: location with food. You didn't know all of that. But 381 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: I don't have to do that every single time. To 382 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:26,479 Speaker 1: prove a point, the point is already proven hashtag point proven. 383 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: So I don't have to do that every single time 384 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: because then people think they have control over if it fails, 385 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 1: our succeeds. I know I can get fifty people in 386 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: any city that I decided to go to, and we're 387 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 1: gonna do it that way. We're gonna take a strong 388 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: fifty and keep it moving. Okay, So if you want, 389 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: if you are not in Atlanta and not in Los Angeles, uh, 390 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: no worries. I thank you so much for the people 391 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: that signed up yesterday to let me know what city. Uh, 392 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: they would like a push the line there. Um, if 393 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 1: you're interesting that you can go to my website testing 394 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: figure dot com. Um, I have pushed line boot camp. 395 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: It's very clear, very very clear. You know it shouldn't 396 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: be no confusion with somebody don't DM me business. You 397 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: gotta stop doing that. Stop dm and people on business 398 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: have a website for a reason. I'm gonna add that 399 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 1: in mission and vision. A lot of you guys gotta 400 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 1: learn how to do business. I don't in boxing me 401 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: and sending d m s and all of that. That's 402 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,400 Speaker 1: not how you handle business. When somebody has a website, 403 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: have a website, called testam firo dot com. Everything is 404 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: in the link of my bio. Everything you need to 405 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,199 Speaker 1: contact me, book me, media, speaking events, it's all on 406 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: the website. When people hit me up on the d M, 407 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: it shows me a lack of you not knowing how 408 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 1: to conduct business. I know that's the way to get 409 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: ahold of a lot of people, but to me, it's 410 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: a red flag because when people have an actual website, 411 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: they've set up a process to get in contact with them, 412 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: and it's very easy to engage with me on business. 413 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: That's why I have a website. So if you're interested 414 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: in push a line in your city, no sense in 415 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 1: sending me at d M saying hey, bring it to Chicago. Hey, 416 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: go to the website. There's a leak that you can 417 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 1: click on that allows you to say bring it to Chicago. 418 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: And it's just a couple of questions. First name, last name, 419 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: email address, phone number. Are you able to get ten 420 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: the twenty people in the room yourself? That's it. That's 421 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,719 Speaker 1: all I'm asking so that I know that if I 422 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: decide to go to that city, I know I got 423 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: me a contact. It's that simple. It's moving it from 424 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: the comment space to the actual Action Space, which is 425 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: tells them Figo dot com to sign up if you 426 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: want one in your city. I appreciate folks that saying 427 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: you're raising money to get me there. No, keep it. 428 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 1: I don't want it, damn test them. Why you say that, Well, 429 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: because I don't ever want you to feel like you 430 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,719 Speaker 1: I owe you anything because I don't. Just like somebody 431 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: on Twitter said, well, you should have seen people on 432 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: Twitter was talking about women king, so you shouldn't went 433 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: to scene. Don't nobody on Twitter run me, y'all. Don't 434 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,359 Speaker 1: run me, so spread the word far and wide. You 435 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: don't run me. You're not my big homie, you ain't 436 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: no old g of mine. You're not my daddy, you're 437 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 1: not my man, you're not my mama. You don't run me. 438 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: I do what I want to do when I get 439 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: ready to do it. So I always have to be 440 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: in the position to tell you to go to hell. 441 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: And the best way to do that is not to 442 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: ask you for a donation for a damn thing. Now 443 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: at the end of the trainings, if people want to 444 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: give a love offering, that's fine. I'm not gonna be 445 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: just totally stupid. If somebody say, hey, I know you 446 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: had to fly down here and get a hotel room. 447 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: Here's a love offering. But you will not hear me 448 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: asking you for ship. The only thing I'm asking you 449 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: to subscribe to the podcast. That's it. Subscribe to the podcast. 450 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: I have a contract for my podcast. I'll use my 451 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: podcast money to come come around and train you guys. 452 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: That's how we're gonna do that.

I'm doing it as long as 457 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:02,240 Speaker 1: I want to do it, as long as I don't 458 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 1: want to do it. The training gonna be based on 459 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: what I feel like. You should know. If you don't 460 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 1: like it, don't come to the training. It's just that simple. 461 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: I don't have to rush nobody through this. I don't 462 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: have to harry up. Let's get as many people as 463 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: possible because I'm not trying to run for office. I'm 464 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: not trying to use this. There's no way to help 465 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 1: nobody else run for office, to help no political party. 466 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,959 Speaker 1: So I do this when I'm damn ready to do it. 467 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: He's say, you're definitely on the list.

I'm in 478 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: a space where if you say, hey, it's twenty five 479 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: dollars to a tend, looks you're trying to pimp out 480 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 1: and give people to come. I know the space I'm 481 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 1: working in now, my high level training. Like for those 482 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: that are saying, oh, I want to learn how to 483 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: debate like you and I want to Oh, yes, there's 484 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: a train you gotta pay for that, no offense and bus. 485 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 1: But I'm talking about this core, this core basic training, 486 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 1: other trainings.

It only make no sense 493 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: because it's not even a point of doing it, because 494 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 1: you have to prepare to be a pundit. That's not 495 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 1: just some random training that I just offered everybody. I 496 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,160 Speaker 1: do that with people who are actually on TV, who 497 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 1: actually spar who actually are in you know, in those 498 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 1: positions that I trained and coach a lot of folks, 499 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 1: and I don't even drop their names because it ain't 500 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: none of your business. So that that's what that is. 501 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: But to the general public, the core basic training, I'm 502 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,639 Speaker 1: gonna figure out a way, and it's very easy to 503 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: figure out. We do it at a library that's free. 504 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: Are forty fifty bucks, That's how we do it, and 505 00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: only fifty people need to be in a room. I 506 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: don't even know a bunch of people in the room, 507 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,159 Speaker 1: in whole bunch of people in the road for what 508 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 1: I'm not in no race. Maybe the DNC could do 509 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 1: it maybe the Republican Party should do it. They got 510 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: the budgets to do it. I'm doing this so you 511 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: can ask them why they don't do it, because they 512 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:39,960 Speaker 1: got the budgets to do it. They got the budgets 513 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: and the spaces, so why don't they do it? Houston, 514 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 1: You're definitely in the in the mix, no doubt. So 515 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,440 Speaker 1: that's what it is. You come, you come, you don't? 516 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: You don't. I'm y're not used to hearing that, y'all. 517 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,160 Speaker 1: You're seeing people saying, come on, beg and come on please, 518 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: y'all come online side. I know we gotta do this 519 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 1: for your community. UM, that's how I operate. You come, 520 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 1: you come, you don't? You don't? The online webinar ten 521 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: twenty two. As I wrap up Straight Shot No Chaser Live. 522 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: You've been listening to Straight Shot No Chase Alive the 523 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 1: podcast October twenty two live Mission Vision Values. It's gonna 524 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: be a couple of hours. I'm just doing a webinar 525 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: so you can know. Do you even know the difference 526 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: between your mission statement and your vision statement? You probably don't. 527 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 1: Do you even have a mission in the vision statement? 528 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,360 Speaker 1: You should have a mission in the vision even if 529 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: it's a one, an organization of one. So what is 530 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,360 Speaker 1: your mission? What is your vision? I'll be breaking that down. 531 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: I'll be breaking down the difference between the two and 532 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: how that aligns with your values, how that aligns with 533 00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: your value. So I'll just give you a quick example. 534 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: One of the sub topics that I told the operative 535 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: trainer to make sure the she went into it to 536 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: push the line was a career or a calling, because 537 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: there is a difference. Some people are into a career, 538 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: they want to be an operative as a career, and 539 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: that's fine, but does that align with your values, which 540 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: meaning you may work for a candidate that you're not 541 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: you're not that crazy about because it's a career and 542 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 1: it's okay. There's people who do that, but does it 543 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 1: go against your values? Or you may work for somebody 544 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 1: that says, hey, I'm only gonna work for candidates that 545 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 1: are in line with my values. So I'll be walking 546 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: you through mission vision, mission vision values, and how that 547 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: aligns with your professional, your personal and your political aspirations. 548 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: Because there's three things. So we're gonna do the three. 549 00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: The p P P loan, the p P P pushing 550 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: p that's what we're gonna do on that training. It 551 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 1: won't be that long. It's just a quick, little webinar 552 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: workshop because I want to make sure that I'm giving 553 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: you something, some meat to chew on until I see 554 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,640 Speaker 1: you in person. I don't want stuff to fall off, 555 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: so I'll be doing quick webinars in between these in 556 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: person trainings. So Atlanta, get ready, I'm coming back before 557 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 1: the end of the year. Los Angeles at the top 558 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: of the year. The other cities I got you, Houston, 559 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: New York, New Jersey. I've seen the request. I know 560 00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: that I have the support there. I'm doing as many 561 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: as I possibly can. But those are the two, um 562 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: the two cities. Right away, you said, U v A B. 563 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,239 Speaker 1: Central Library has a large capacity auditorium that you can 564 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: hold more to accommodate. Yeah, but the thing is, I'm 565 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: not interested in accommodating a whole lot. I'm not interested 566 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: in accommodating a whole lot. The one in the Los 567 00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: Angeles I believe holds a hundred and thirty people. But 568 00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to accommodate a whole lot. This is 569 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 1: not about a whole lot. The DNC should be focused 570 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 1: on it, though they should be trying to figure out 571 00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:53,720 Speaker 1: how to build a bench. I'm not I'm fine with 572 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 1: fifty to seventy people. I don't want a whole lot. 573 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:57,760 Speaker 1: I don't want to have to market for a whole 574 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 1: lot of people. That requires more working or time, and 575 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: I don't want to do that. In addition to that, 576 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,479 Speaker 1: I want to engage. I want people to have chances 577 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: to ask questions, get involved. I like to look at 578 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: people face to face. So I don't want a whole lot. 579 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,720 Speaker 1: But I do appreciate that suggestion. It's not about a 580 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: whole lot, it's about the right the right people in 581 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,520 Speaker 1: the room. That's a part of the mission too, that 582 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: I'm always trying to tell people. Don't worry about a 583 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: whole lot. I'm fine with fifty only one. Fifty is 584 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: fine with me. You know why, because out of the 585 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: only ten gonna really do what they say they're gonna do, 586 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: and only five will be successful at it. It's a 587 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 1: numbers game, and I don't need a whole bunch of 588 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: people in the room that I have to wear back 589 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: counter protel who are here for the right reason, who 590 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 1: ain't here for the right reason. I gotta market, I 591 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: gotta stay on top of you have to email you. 592 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: I gotta text you back to back to back to 593 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:42,720 Speaker 1: back to back to back. I'm not gonna do that. 594 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: It's gonna be the top fifty people engage period right 595 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 1: after gate. So that's why I don't want to do 596 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: a hope, A hope A big number. Big numbers are distractions. 597 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: That's for people that's looking for all. You mean to 598 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: accommodate fifty to seventy five.

I'm not aligning with any agenda, 659 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: even if it's an agenda that I support. Did y'all 660 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,480 Speaker 1: hear that? Let me say it one more time. I 661 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:11,520 Speaker 1: am not holding an event at a location with any 662 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:17,359 Speaker 1: organization that pushes an agenda. Yep, not even the church. 663 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: We can't do the church because they're pushing an agenda too, 664 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,920 Speaker 1: So it needs to be a library, are a neutral 665 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:28,439 Speaker 1: community center, not even the church. Sorry, Church, I gotta 666 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: pass on you passes because y'all be told too many 667 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 1: agendas for me. Plus I like the custin I'm gonna be. 668 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:41,240 Speaker 1: I'll be customed, so that ain't gonna work. Oh, Tesla, 669 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: you should come support the black the Black center we 670 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,239 Speaker 1: got the Black community. No, no, no, I'm not doing 671 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:51,320 Speaker 1: that because I'm not aligning with anybody. I'm not hosting 672 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: it any place that push it in an agenda, and 673 00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: you obviously need to understand that it has to be neutral. 674 00:36:56,480 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: A library is neutral. A Libby area is neutral. A 675 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:04,000 Speaker 1: lib area is neutral. It has the power point uh 676 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:10,160 Speaker 1: screen projector that I need, It holds a small amount 677 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,720 Speaker 1: of people, it has a parking lot, and it's usually 678 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,919 Speaker 1: for free, if not just a few bucks. So that's 679 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 1: why I'm doing it that way. I think. In Atlanta, though, 680 00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:28,800 Speaker 1: one of the places under nay considered was be Social um, 681 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: and that's a neutral place. But I even I want 682 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:33,360 Speaker 1: to look at because I think they're doing something that 683 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,279 Speaker 1: got something to do with voter registration. And I don't 684 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,680 Speaker 1: want people to confuse anything that I'm doing with anything 685 00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 1: that any of these organizations are doing. So I just 686 00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:46,399 Speaker 1: prefer neutral places like a library. And so if there's 687 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,240 Speaker 1: not a neutral place like a library, um, then it's okay. 688 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:51,879 Speaker 1: I just want to do that city like, I'm totally 689 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: fine with that. I don't have to do the cities. 690 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: I'm not the d n C, y'all. Somebody hash to 691 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 1: I'm not the DNC. I'm not the d n C 692 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: or the RNC. I don't have to do this. They 693 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,080 Speaker 1: should be, y' allso be asking them why they ain't 694 00:38:02,120 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 1: doing it. Though, because they got the budget, they got 695 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 1: the location, they got it all seemed like they want 696 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 1: to train train some folks to build a new bench. 697 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:12,440 Speaker 1: Oh that's right, they don't want to do it, so 698 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: I don't have to be forced, you know. Uh, and 699 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,040 Speaker 1: and do it just for the sake of doing it 700 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,160 Speaker 1: because somebody say, come to x Y city, you know 701 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: x y Z. It needs to be a neutral location. Okay. 702 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: So that is that. That is this week's episode of 703 00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,000 Speaker 1: Push the Line. Uh. Those who follow me on my podcast, 704 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,359 Speaker 1: you may have noticed I've switched to a pretty much 705 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:42,280 Speaker 1: hundred percent or commentary. I will I do interview folks, 706 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 1: but what I've learned is, uh, my producer even said, 707 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 1: when you do your commentary live on Instagram, that has 708 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,839 Speaker 1: so much more energy and so much more engagement uh 709 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,759 Speaker 1: than the interviews that I do. UM. So that's why 710 00:38:55,000 --> 00:39:00,200 Speaker 1: we do commentary and have been for quite some time. UM. 711 00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:02,359 Speaker 1: I am open to interviewing folks, and I do from 712 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: time to time, but the numbers don't lie and we 713 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:08,120 Speaker 1: just get so much more engagement, um from my commentary, 714 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: which I appreciate that, um, but just more engagement for that. 715 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,800 Speaker 1: So that's why we've switched to that format. And again 716 00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,000 Speaker 1: shout out to the Black Effect Podcast Network on our 717 00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:20,920 Speaker 1: Radio for allowing me the opportunity to be able to 718 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 1: get this content out.

And I was 733 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 1: very clear with the Revolts Summit team that I think, 734 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:24,880 Speaker 1: uh that the questions on who and why and what 735 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:29,440 Speaker 1: is reparations, I wanna yield my time to those who 736 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,480 Speaker 1: have really worked in this space, those people that I've 737 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: mentioned that I think can answer that, uh in a 738 00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,320 Speaker 1: very deep and profound way, and I want to lend 739 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,640 Speaker 1: to the conversation the how, the political how. So that 740 00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: is what I'm hoping to contribute to the dialogue. I 741 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: don't have to have an answer for every question, UM, 742 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000 Speaker 1: I want to make sure that to me, that the 743 00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,319 Speaker 1: right people are answering the right question. So UM, I 744 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: want to to get into the how. And the how 745 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: is at some point you have to have somebody in 746 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:04,960 Speaker 1: office at the very minimum, at the local level, like 747 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,360 Speaker 1: they did in Chicago.

Uh. The level of disrespect that came with 795 00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 1: that one.
