Speaker 1: born in fifth ward. Uh my degrees in the mathematics

55
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 1: and my minor and sociology, so I know the important

56
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: of continued education. I always tell people who always tell

57
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: young people just go to college and just just see

58
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 1: what college has to offer to you. How it changed

59
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: my life. Education changed my life. I would not be

60
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 1: talking to you because when I came out of high school, Sean,

61
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a forklift driver and got a

62
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: job for forklift driver. That was my dream because that

63
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: was those were my mentors. My mentors were guys who

64
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: don't load the trucks. From our fifteen sixty years old

65
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: I saw it. I went, wow, this is cool, and

66
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: I stayed in my mind. Despite having my best friend

67
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: she graduated. She with the rights and graduated. My other

68
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: best friends she went to Purdue and graduate. So it

69
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: wasn't like I was. I was surrounded by a bunch

70
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: of dummies. My whole little core was smart and I

71
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: was smart too. But I wanted to take the easy

72
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: way out, a comfortable way out. I felt, you know,

73
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: get to that get to that finish line real quick.

74
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: But but what But that wasn't the right finish line

75
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: for me. So when we talking about education, that's your passion,

76
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 1: I just wanted to tee it up for the type

77
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: of conversation I'm gonna have with you, and we're gonna

78
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: go into a lot of things and these UH in

79
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: this call we have today. But I want to let

80
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: you know the guy you're talking to was the guy

81
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: who who was was was not there. I was not that,

82
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: I was not motivated to pursue a four year opportunity

83
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: in academics and and and it changed my life. So

84
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 1: talk to us about UH education and from your standpoint,

85
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: I firmly believe that education and is just really it's

86
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: a key that can unlock so many doors in so

87
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: many different directions. One of the limiting things that I'm

88
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: working very very hard for, particularly in urban and culturally

89
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: diverse schools, as you mentioned, is exposure. We need to

90
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 1: be sure that we the bright young scholars in these

91
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: four walls, in the four walls of these classrooms across

92
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: this country are being exposed so that they have something

93
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 1: to shoot for, and education can do that. What are

94
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: we exposing them to, what are we allowing them to see?

95
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: And more importantly, what are we allowing them to see

96
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: and how they think into that as it can be

97
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: a contributing member to society. What are we showing them,

98
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: what are we putting them and how does it connect

99
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 1: to their everyday lives. Whether we understand the value and

100
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: importance of that or not, it is absolutely critical. We

101
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: need to make sure that we are showing these students

102
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: what is possible. And that's why I work so hard

103
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: so that they can see something to shoot for. Let

104
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 1: that service the engine that drives them, whether it is

105
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: that four year degree, whether it is that a two

106
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: year degree, whether it is a trade, something beyond just

107
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: going to do the quote, Well, they're minimal and making

108
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: sex absolutely because I always tell people that, you know,

109
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: you can't reapa or degree. Okay, my degree in that wall.

110
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: Nobody's gonna come back and gay, Hey man, you know

111
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: some I'm gonna take that back. They can't do that.

112
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: I earned that. You know you can. You can't call

113
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: me stupid, you can't call me a dumby. It's right there. Okay,

114
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: what story are you telling it? That I've been recognized

115
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: as a person who knows how to apply himself. I'm

116
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: goal oriented, okay, and I know how to finish what

117
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: I start. That's what the degree means to me. And

118
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: when I talk about listen to your passion is a

119
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: passion that I didn't have because I didn't understand and

120
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: so and we know that the stop gap or the

121
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: the or the jump off point in this game of

122
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: competition that we call in this country we call America

123
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: is education because it's not equal. Education not equal, and

124
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 1: so which leads to a different story. And I think

125
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 1: that private secret, private sector should come in and stop

126
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: trying that we should stop trying to get the government

127
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: to fix the situation. And I believe that the sexual

128
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: chector come in because they're the ones who seek our

129
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: money in movies, seek our money, and android phones they

130
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: seek our money, and technology, they seek our money, and

131
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: grocery stores. They seek our money in so many different ways,

132
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: but they don't return that money to us when it

133
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: comes to lifestyle, when it comes to education, making a

134
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: difference in our community because they've they've they've, they've, they've

135
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: they've they've, they've developed a nice system, they keep the money.

136
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: They don't help out anybody but themselves, okay, And then

137
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: they said the government is supposed to do that. So

138
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: so that's one of the things that we know when

139
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: I look at this change in our community is civil unrest,

140
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: the pandemic. You know, I'm sitting down trying to create

141
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: an agenda, a plan of action, and the plan of

142
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: action is the old way ain't gonna work for the

143
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 1: new way. So we have to hit a new plan

144
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: in place for the new way to even have a

145
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: shot at working. And it has to include the private sector.

146
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: And that's that's a that's a statement from me. And

147
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 1: when I talked to me, to worldly people like you,

148
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: educated people like you, who know what I'm talking about

149
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: when I say education is not equal because it's tied

150
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: to it's tied to property tax. You know, it's tied

151
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: to the lot of program in each state, which doesn't

152
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: really do anything for education, like they say, because most

153
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: of the program going, most of the money goes to

154
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: the company that sets up a lot of and so

155
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: and so these things drive me. You know, I've been fortunate. Man.

156
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: You can google my name and there's a lot of

157
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: things come up about me, So you have you have

158
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: an image of who I am or idea who I am?

159
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: Who is Dr Seaun Woodley? Let me tell you something,

160
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: Dr Sean Woodley is. I'm a husband, I am a father,

161
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: I am a believer, and I am an educator. I

162
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: do a lot of things under that education umbrella, but

163
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 1: it all boils that back down to being an educator.

164
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: I get to leverage my creativity in what I do,

165
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 1: and that has that fuels my passion for entrepreneurship. I've

166
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: been able to uniquely combine the field of education and

167
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: entrepreneurship to not only do what I love, but serve

168
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 1: others while doing it. It's like the it's it's like

169
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: a beautiful mix that allows me to be who I

170
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: authentically am at this while at the same time giving

171
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: back and contributing to society, making a difference in the

172
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: lives of teachers who evidently make a difference in the

173
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: lives of their students. That that is who I am,

174
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: and that is how I think. That is what I

175
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 1: believe God to give to me is to give to

176
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: the world. Right. You know when I when I look

177
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: at your HBCU grad I said that your critic is

178
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: Hampton State University. Hey, you don't just tell you this, doctor,

179
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: Dr Sean. I get a lot of HBCU Ampton guests

180
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: on my show. I think it because of the executive

181
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: producer the show. She graduated from Hampton University. I think

182
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: that really she graduated and I seem to get a

183
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of I'm not disappointed at the

184
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: end of the guest, I'm just telling you straight out

185
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 1: standing like you come on my show from Happy University.

186
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: But I think I think she's using my brand to

187
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: promote the brand of Hampton University, which is an outstand

188
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: at HBCU school. So tell us about your HBCU experience

189
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: and the value of attending a school like an HBCU

190
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: school like Hampton University. Let me tell you something. Hampton

191
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: University is my family. I stand by it, and it

192
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: was absolutely one of the best decisions I've ever made.

193
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: The reason that I ended up at Hampton or I.

194
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: I grew up in New York and my father raising

195
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: us in the church. She was a musician to Hampton

196
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: University every year during the summer has a ministers and

197
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: musicians conference that my father attend all the time. He's

198
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: the one that told me about Hampton University. And this

199
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: goes back to what you mentioned earlier about kind of

200
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: why how we can promote the idea of education to

201
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: the youth. I was never told in high school about HBCUs,

202
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: about what schools like Hampton A and t Spellman Morehouse.

203
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: I would never exposed to those things other than what

204
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: my family told me. And I'm so glad that my

205
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: dad put that battery in my back at a young

206
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: age to be aware of what Hampton was doing and

207
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: how it could benefit me. Uh. He took me down

208
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 1: there to take the tour of the campus. We went

209
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: as a family, my mom, my brothers, and after that

210
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: we you know, I have two uh younger siblings actually

211
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: three excuse me, that r HBCU attended and or graduates.

212
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: So like, this is something that I feel I was

213
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: able to set an example for them because of what

214
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: my dad and my mom showed me and my as

215
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: we like to say, my matriculation. That's wonderful, you know,

216
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: it was. It was life altering for me, if I

217
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: could say, because I mean what I've learned there, who

218
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: I met, it was. It was a microcosm of just

219
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 1: really love and education, um that you yearned for that

220
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: you cannot get at another p w Y and you

221
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: can't get that. I ask any HBCU grab and they'll

222
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: tell you about that family element that you just you

223
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: can you can imitate, but you can't duplicate that. I

224
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 1: love it. I love it. I'm talking to my man,

225

Speaker 1: I was absolutely with a Okay, let'll be right back there.

238
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: Said Hi, this was Sean McDonald and you're listening to

239
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: the money Making Conversation. I've been having a good old

240
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: time with Dr Sean Woodley about his brand education. You

241
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: know how he started in the education, what the education

242
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: means to him, what it means to me, the passion

243
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: behind education. It took me seven years to get my degree. Uh.

244
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: I was arrogant. I thought I'd be in and out.

245
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: But what I did when I went to college, I

246
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 1: was just trying I'm gona tell you something, Dr Sean.

247
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: I was just trying to go to. I was trying

248
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: to find an easy degree. Okay, the first four and

249
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: a half yeard, I was looking for the easy degree.

250
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: My friends go easy, an easy teaching. He's an easy teach.

251
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: I went to and when they had no symbols of

252
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: what they had to do with my degree plans, I

253
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: was trying to find easy teachers. I found them all

254
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: and then I found one easy teaching in physics that

255
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: gave me an elf that woked me up. That woked

256
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: me up because they realized that you have to work.

257
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: Life is about working hard and being consistent. And when

258
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: I look at your brand, when you talk about education,

259
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 1: you have to be consistent and you have to create

260
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: a model that people can believe it and can use

261
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: to teach other people. Talk about your brain a little bit.

262
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: Dr Sean Sure, Sure, I'm I preach and teach, teach, hustle, inspire,

263
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: and and here's what it means. Teach, hustle, inspire is

264
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: not just three particular words that I randomly put together

265
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: and threw it up as a logo. They have intention

266
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 1: behind each of those. When I talk about teach, it's

267
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: about how we unlock our students and our own intellectual treasure.

268
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: That's what it means. How can we create trans forman

269
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: of learning experiences for ourselves, for our students in our classroom.

270
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: That hustle park, that's that's my favorite part. That hustle

271
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 1: is about how we can't stop that won't stop learning.

272
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: Mr McDonald's here and it kind of has that nineties

273
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: d D bad boy vibe twins to it just a

274
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: little bit. That's that's my personality being there in there

275
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. But how do we keep how do

276
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: we stay on top of the current research, How do

277
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: we stay on top of what we need to know

278
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: to continue because see, education don't stop, Education does not stop.

279
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: How do we continue to learn to be the best

280
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: we can for ourselves and our students? And that inspire

281
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: It means to spread love and like what we do

282
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: with educators, that can be a thankless profession. Sometimes with

283
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: the inequities in the curriculums that we see, with the

284
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: inequities and distribution of funds, we sometimes we feel like

285
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: we're all we have. So we have to be sure

286
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: that we're spreading that love and life to one another,

287
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: pouring back into ourselves and taking care of our soaps

288

324
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,479
Speaker 1: Dot ai. It's really amazing when I when I think

325
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 1: about it, you know, when we still talk about unequal education,

326
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 1: and we still talk about, you know, denying people an

327
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 1: opportunity to get an equal education, and that's usually tied

328
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,199
Speaker 1: to the community that you grow up in and you're

329
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, me in the South, and you know that

330
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: what you really was the reason we have hbc US

331
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,959
Speaker 1: because it was a time where the southern schools wouldn't

332
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 1: let a black person in the school and then the

333
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: northern school headquarters or limitations. So it was out of

334
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: necessity that we had to create these hbc used which

335
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: are now the backbone of education, especially for African American

336
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,439
Speaker 1: success stores in this country today. That's one of the

337
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 1: reasons why I take the time to be able to

338
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: articulate the value and the need. Now when you talk

339
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 1: about education and you you you broke down the whole

340
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 1: teach hustle inspired whether all about? But how did they

341
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: come about? You know what what the what? What? What? What?

342
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: What launched it? Though? Dr Sean? What launched did? That

343
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: came from a need for me to try and find

344
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: a unique and creative way to pour into the lives

345
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 1: of educators and give back. I am, I'm a speaker

346
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: and consultant and you know all in the under the

347
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: umbrella of educating that is that is what I do.

348
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to find something that could connect us in

349
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 1: the education world, something especially those of us that serve

350
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 1: in urban and culturally diverse communities because there are specific

351
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: challenges that we are simply at a fundamental level not

352
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: prepared to deal with. And again it's not because something

353
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: is wrong, it's just that we are not prepared. So

354
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: I created this with the mind with the mindset of

355
00:19:56,560 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: how can I help prepare dedicated and talented educators to

356
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: face the challenges that can arise in urban and culturally

357
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: diverse communities so that we can now move this agenda

358
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,679
Speaker 1: forward and balance these scales a little bit. But it

359
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: really just came from my desire to what to serve,

360
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: to want to unite and start a movement, and I

361
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: just it's it's not something that I just thought of

362
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: one particular day to teach hustle inspire. Kind of it

363
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: seems like it came out of nowhere. But what you're

364
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 1: seeing are the results of years, years of research, years

365
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:43,439
Speaker 1: of practice, and years of trial error, failing, fail again,

366
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 1: fail forward, fail some more, try it again. That's what

367
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: you're seeing now are the results of that. And this

368
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: is just the beginning. That's that's powerful words, um and

369
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: so those are some of the when you say obstacles,

370
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: you know it is one of these over to me.

371
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: Um is are the obstacles, Uh, Disbelievers are obstacles yourself

372
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: sometimes doubting whether this is this will be received? What

373
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: exactly are the obstacles that you're talking about. Some of

374
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: the obstacles UM definitely do come in the form of

375
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 1: self sabotage and questioning whether or not you are the

376
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: one that should be doing this. As far as t

377
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: hustle inspired inspire is concerned that that can the obstacles

378
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: can start from within and if I am not careful,

379
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: if I am not emotionally aware enough to examine that

380
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: it is nothing more than just self sabotage and that

381
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: I can overcome, that it can be something that consumes me.

382
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 1: But my passion and desire and understanding to know that

383
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: I'm called to do this outweighs those obstacles and makes

384
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: them speed bumps at the post hurdles. So now out

385
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: what I can do is with the understanding that and

386
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: not to get church on you. But God doesn't call

387
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: to qualify, He qualifies the call. I understand that this

388
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 1: is a mission for me and now I'm growing and

389
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: that as long as I stay true to who I

390
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: am and what the Good Lord has for me. I

391
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 1: can't tell us, Oh no, you won't, you won't. That's

392
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:24,159
Speaker 1: why I set up this show. My friend is passionate driven,

393
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: and the information that I give through my faith and

394
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: through my passion, I educate people who listen and follow

395
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: my brand. So we're on the same page. Now, tell

396
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: us about your artcoming um conference for urban educators. Sure. Sure.

397
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: I wanted to create a unique experience called the Super

398
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 1: Teachers Summit. And what happens is this is going to

399
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: be a unique online virtual event. We we you know,

400
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: we have to be cautious with everything happening coronavirus wise,

401
00:22:55,560 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: about large gatherings and so forth, but that's still doesn't

402
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: put a stop on the work that needs to be done,

403
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: because come August September, there are still children that are

404
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: going to need to be educated. So I wanted to

405
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 1: come up with a unique way to garner educators attention

406
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 1: to help solve some of the problems that they will

407
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: inevitably face. And I created this unique event to be

408
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: an online, interactive virtual experience more than just someone sitting

409
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: in front of a screen and then now alright, everything

410
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: is going in one ear and out of the other.

411
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to make this a little bit more than

412
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: simply just your average teacher conference, if you will, And

413
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: so I I gave it a theme. I embedded some

414
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: of the research and some phenomenal speakers that I know

415
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 1: of that are really doing the work in this field.

416
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 1: And I'm putting together what I know will be a

417
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: Dynamites event in August. So is there any set date

418
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,239
Speaker 1: for aug yet or just all the still planning. It's

419
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: still planning. It's going to be the first weekend in

420
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: August that you want to make sure. I want to

421
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: be a part of that. Whatever I can do to

422
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 1: promote it through my social or my newsletter goes a

423
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: weekly every Friday at nine am. I'll make you're part

424
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,239
Speaker 1: of that conversation. Before I was a couple of things.

425
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: But I want to talk to about before we leaves.

426
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: I wanted I did not read your best selling book

427
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,359
Speaker 1: MC means Move the class, How the spark engagement and

428
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,159
Speaker 1: motivation and urban and culturally diverse classroom? Tell us about that?

429
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,160
Speaker 1: And then I also want to close and response from

430
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 1: you about what's going on in America right now. Okay, absolutely,

431
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: the book for me came from my experiences teaching. I

432
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 1: spent ten years UM teaching in urban schools, and while

433
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: doing that, because I was I knew that there were

434
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 1: things that I wanted to do. I had a side

435
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: hustle at the DJ. So literally Ms McDonald, I would

436
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: pull up to the schoolyard and teach during the day

437
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: and being the club at night with my turn tables

438
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: in the literal, and it was it was so fund yeah.

439
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about parties, clubs, weddings, bar mits,

440
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: was barbecues, It doesn't matter if they had if they

441
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: were paying and needed music services. I was in there.

442
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: And so what I began to notice is that I

443
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: was growing as a DJ and growing as an educator simultaneously,

444
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: and some coincidental not my coincidental, some emerging commonalities started

445
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 1: to really make way about both professions, about being a teacher,

446
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: about being in DJ, and so really that that mc see.

447
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: You know, back in the day when I grew, I

448
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: grew up on Long Island and Eric being rock Cam

449
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 1: had from Eric B as president the song um excuse

450
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 1: me um, Eric B as president, not second verse where

451
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 1: our cam talks about Eric B on the cut scratching

452
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: the medicine, no mistakes allowed. Because to me, mc means

453
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: moved the problem. And that line always stuck to me.

454
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: It really because what stands out about that is what

455
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: rock Him was telling us is that his his role

456
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: as an m C it's it's not just a position,

457
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: it's a responsibility. Mr McDonald, that's that's my responsibility to

458
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: move this crowd. So I took that and and with

459
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 1: that same mindset, it's my responsibility to move this class

460
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 1: and as a DJ, as a as a teacher. You know,

461
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: in both roles, I'm a motivator. I am the reason

462
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: that you're going to in this club dance or I'm

463
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: the reason in this classroom you're going to learn. In

464
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 1: both roles, I curate specific content so that when in

465
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: the timing of winning his place, to create an absolute

466
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: experience for either the people in the club or the

467
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 1: students in my classroom, making real time decisions, making sure

468
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: that I am on top of everything, and making sure

469
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: that I can change when needed. Making those ah sumans

470
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: to really read the crowd and feed off of that energy.

471
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: It becomes sick. Wow, that's hot. You know that's hot

472
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: because I hear the passion, I hear the planning out here.

473
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: It's a it's authentic. That's what I hear the most, doctor,

474
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: and that's why, that's why, that's why it works, because

475
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 1: it's not something you made up. It's tied to a journey.

476
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: You know. The journey in the world that we're living

477
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: in right now is um I did an interview this

478
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 1: morning and I was telling them that one out of

479
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: one thousand black men and boys will be killed by

480
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: a police officer. That's one out of one thousand. That's

481
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: two point five times higher than white men and white boys.

482
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: And when people ask us, why, why the unrest, why

483
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: the protests, what is your response? Dr Shaun Woodley, Hello,

484
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 1: do you cannot tell the oppressed? Essentially, It's been quoted

485
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: and said so many times, but you can't tell the

486
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: oppressed how to respond to their oppression. You can't do that.

487
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: What you're seeing are the results of years of years

488
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 1: and years, hundreds of years of outcries, hundreds of years

489
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: of just simply making a plea not to be treated better,

490
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: Mr McDonald, for being treated the same. That's all we want,

491
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: that's that's at the end of the day. We just

492
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: wanted to be treated the same. And so now what

493
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: has resulted from that is the the emotional outburst of

494
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 1: the people that has been held down far too long. Absolutely,

495
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: I always tell people I just want my child to

496
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: have a better life than our hands. And I think

497
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: that anybody who's not my color wants the same thing.

498
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: So just give me my shot. But when I'm stopped

499
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 1: by the pot, least, don't allow a lobby not to

500
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: be afraid. Now, allow me to not believe that this

501
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: might be a stop I'm drive away from. That's all

502
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: I'm asking. And when I say one out of one thousand,

503
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: that's an incredible number. Two publicly say this documented story

504
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: came out of the Los Angeles time I read it

505
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: and then have and I've been horrified ever since. Dr Sean.

506
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: Would I hope you enjoyed coming on my show. It's
