104
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 8: off you envy. A lot of times you get overlooked there,

105
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 8: But what you did from miss Jones back in the day,

106
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 8: you caught the collar when things about to go go

107
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 8: left at the other down of Dows. You don't figure

108
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 8: it up, but she talks about it, and so your

109
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 8: kudos for that for being loyal to somebody that looked

110
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 8: out for you, you know, and you know she's local.

114
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 8: second going around and maybe some of the things that

115
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 8: you may have not necessarily took for granted but didn't

116
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 8: you just like totally get a chance to appreciate because

117
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 8: it was maybe a little bit overwhelming, but embraced it

118
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 8: all man, from the smell to the site, to the last,

119
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 8: to the giggle, to the poops and all of that

120
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 8: because you know, as you already know, it goes so fast,

121
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 8: and you know it's the moment in time, and those

122
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 8: two beside you, they can attest to it as well.

123
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 8: And even though they have more every situation and every kid,

124
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 8: there's something unique to it.

125
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you, mister.

126
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 8: Charlemagne's brother to you. And in our culture, the greatest

127
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 8: pivot of all time was probably Malcolm x Uh. He

128
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 8: went from one extreme together. Dick Gregory was another UH

129
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 8: that did a phenomenal pivot, going from being a commed

130
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 8: a crash comedian but then switching that into being like

131
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 8: an advocate, associate justice fighter, and so forth. Uh in

132
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 8: your trajectory seems like it's on that path. So salute

133
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 8: to you and keep up the good work, because you

134
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,440

00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 8: jerk juice on your brother, but you kind of set

00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,760

00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,479

Speaker 4: good morning.

237
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 7: How are you, Debbie?

238
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 14: I'm incredible. This moment in time is a lot, but

239
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 14: it's also there's magic in it for all of us.

240
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 5: People that say, what are you talking about?

241
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: Debbie does monkey pox? There is cold, and we had

242
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,599
Speaker 3: a recession interest rate at an all time high, but

243
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 3: you still find the positive out of it.

244
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 14: Life is both the human experience. We're always oscillating between

245
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 14: these two ends of the spectrum, joy and grief. The

246
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 14: viewpoint I have of it, and something I really had

247
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 14: to come into in the pandemic was the moments that

248
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 14: feel like joy. I have to let myself feel all

249
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 14: of it because life is hard.

250
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 15: There are times when people feel guilty too, because they

251
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 15: may be experiencing a lot of positivity, but there's so

252
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 15: much going on around you that you don't feel like

253
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 15: you can even celebrate that.

254
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 14: Yeah, and I think it's important to because that's what

255
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 14: allows us to sustain. The thing we've all gotten so

256
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 14: wrong about the human experience is like everyone thinks that

257
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 14: the goal is always supreme happiness, and that if it's

258
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 14: not that, then those are the periods of your life

259
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 14: you don't really sit with or look at or talk about.

260
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 14: But we need the grief, we need the pain just

261
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 14: as much as we need everything else. So you know,

262
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 14: even in the midst of the moment of time we're

263
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 14: having now where everything is crazy, I wake up every

264
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 14: day and I'm just like, but how can I fuel

265
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 14: my fire? How can I keep that internal oven inside

266
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 14: of me just constantly going for myself, from my life,

267
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 14: from my child.

268
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: Can we go back to to like almost the beginning, right,

269
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 4: Because when you think of DeBie deav a lot of

270
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 4: us probably know deVie Dad from radio. I met you

271
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 4: at kDa in La in like seven, and you know

272
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 4: you on Sway Show. But it's like you've always been

273
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 4: this spiritually connected person. When do you like first remember that,

274
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 4: like connection to a high above.

275
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 14: So many things play into that. I think by nature,

276
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 14: I'm an only child raised by a single parent, which

277
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 14: is a certain kind of experience that kind of keeps

278
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 14: you in your.

279
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 6: Head a lot.

280
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 14: So I think that was a piece of it. But

281
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 14: I've always just been fascinated by transformation of any kind,

282
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 14: Like I was definitely reading self help books. As a

283
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 14: little girl, I was just so interested in what made

284
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 14: people themselves but also what kept people from becoming themselves.

285
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 3: Now, one time you decided to give this all up. Right,

286
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: you were very successful doing radio. You were in Houston,

287
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: they were talking about syndication, you were talking about moving.

288
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 4: Back to la and then you said you were one

289
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 4: of the best radio personality in the country. I mean,

290
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 4: it's still one of the best personalities period, but you

291
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 4: were on the radio as one of the best personalities

292
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 4: in the country.

293
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 3: And then you said I'm done with this. Well what

294
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 3: made you say, you know what, I don't want to

295
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 3: do this anymore.

296
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 5: What was the like you said.

297
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 3: That, why are you clinching yourself like that?

298
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 7: You need to hear this this morning?

299
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 14: You know, it was a couple of things. I think

300
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 14: The amazing thing about the show that y'all do is

301
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 14: you guys have established something so rare and different than

302
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 14: has ever been I think in broadcasting. And you guys

303
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 14: get to show up as your full selves at work.

304
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 14: You get to have the conversations that matter to you.

305
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 14: Where I was when I was doing radio that had

306
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 14: started becoming so closed off. You know, at one point

307
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 14: when I was working in radio, I was able to

308
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 14: have meaningful conversations like I went viral with Kanye, went

309
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 14: viral with Kendrick talking about mental health, and then you know,

310
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 14: the powers that be, they just say talk less. You

311
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 14: know where I used to have a talk break where

312
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 14: I could really connect it like do that in eleven seconds.

313
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 14: I just felt like I wasn't able to use this

314
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 14: gift of communication at the level that God really commanded

315
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 14: of me, at the level that felt fulfilling to me.

316
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 14: I wanted to have more adventure. Like at that point,

317
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 14: I knew spirituality was the leading leading journey amission from

318
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 14: my life, and so I just said, I have to

319
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 14: invest everything about myself into that.

320
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 5: I remember you telling me that, you know, years ago.

321
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 4: He was just like, in a therapy is great, and

322
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 4: I'm glad you're in therapy, but you need more than

323
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 4: just therapy to transform your life, Like what exactly does

324
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 4: that look like?

325
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 14: So even with therapy, there's so many different kinds of therapy,

326
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 14: and I think a lot of people, especially now because

327
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 14: we're just so new to all of this, everyone goes

328
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 14: to cognitive therapy, which is kind of like the standard

329
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 14: talk therapy for some people that is actually not the

330
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 14: best option. Depending on what you are coming to the

331
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 14: table with, you may need somatic therapy, you may need

332
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 14: all these different styles. But the piece about therapy is

333
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 14: it keeps you in your head. It helps you understand

334
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 14: yourself and the things that have happened, and it gives

335
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 14: you the language to talk about it. But it doesn't

336
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 14: always give you the opportunity to live this new knowing.

337
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 14: At that point, it can be really powerful to invite

338
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 14: in like spiritual practice or a self care practice, so

339
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 14: that you are applying acceptance to yourself, applying loving to yourself.

340
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 14: You know, it's one thing to know everything, but to

341
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 14: know everything and still love yourself, To know everything and

342
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 14: come into compassion for the people that have harmed you,

343
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 14: it takes many different processes.

344
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 15: I want to talk about your prime Shewed sessions. Yes, yeah,

345
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 15: Draymond Green on now in particular, so you're talking about

346
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 15: the mental well being and also being able to focus.

347
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 15: Right with Draymond Green, Why in particular do you think

348
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 15: athletes need to focus on something like this and how

349
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 15: do you think it helped them?

350
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 14: What I think is so important about that not just

351
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 14: from the athletic lens, but from the masculinity lens, like,

352
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 14: I think this is really a moment of divine masculinity,

353
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 14: of men's transformative healing, of men's kind of awakening.

354
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: How receptive was he to this active like?

355
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 14: So receptive he came in and it was just a

356
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 14: joy and a privilege to work with Draymond because he

357
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 14: is so smart, so self aware already. And he came

358
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 14: in saying and if you watch the show, Deepak asked him,

359
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 14: you know, where are you at on an emotional level

360
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 14: from you know, one to ten? And I think he

361
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 14: said he was a four and then Deepak said, well

362
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 14: then you're suffering. And you know, he came into the

363
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,960
Speaker 14: experience like, Okay, how does this work?

364
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 2: Tell me?

365
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 14: X Y and Z. By the later part of our

366
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 14: sessions when we were meeting, he was like, Okay, so

367
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 14: I've read this book. I've read this book. I've read

368
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 14: this book. I understand it like this, and he was

369
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 14: just really ready to feel things that maybe he hadn't

370
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 14: felt before.

371
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 4: Oh, I want to get back to the sessions on Amazon,

372
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 4: but I want to talk about the connection with Deepop

373
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 4: because i'd call you tupac choke, right, and so to

374
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 4: see you and deepok, actually working together now was like

375
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: surreal in a lot of ways.

376
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 5: How did that connection happen?

377
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 6: Oh my god.

378
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 14: So it really started where I was burned out. I

379
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 14: was working in radio. Like we talked about, I was

380
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 14: in my twenties and I ended up getting shingles, which

381
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 14: is highly painful for anybody that's had it, but it's

382
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 14: also specifically something you don't get to like your seventies

383
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 14: and your eighties. I had it in my twenties, and

384
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 14: so this was like, you know, ten years ago, and

385
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 14: I went online and I just typed in like detox

386
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 14: help retreat something, and the first thing that popped up

387
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 14: was a photo of Deepak and it was for his

388
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 14: health center. And so I ended up going on a

389
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 14: ten day detox retreat and it changed everything about my life.

390
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 14: And I ended up doing so many of the programs

391
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 14: that Choprah offered, which eventually led me to do their

392
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 14: teacher training program and get certified in meditation. And so

393
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,159
Speaker 14: our relationship was really just growing and building, and when

394
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 14: Chopra Global launched about two years ago, I ended up

395
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,919
Speaker 14: coming on board as their Chief Impact Officer and meeting

396
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 14: some of their initiatives.

397
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 3: AHI we got more with deVie Brown when we come back,

398
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 3: so it don't ove it's the Breakfast Club.

399
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 7: Good Morning, the Breakfast Club.

400
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 3: Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamage the guy

401
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 3: we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with

402
00:17:57,720 --> 00:17:59,640
Speaker 3: Debbie Brown.

403
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 5: There's other ways to create healthy boundaries.

404
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 14: The first part is you have to become really aware

405
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 14: of yourself and who you are. I think a lot

406
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 14: of this boundary conversation tends to tilt into using boundaries

407
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 14: as more of a wall when I hear people talk

408
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 14: about boundaries, even on social media, I think we have

409
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 14: to really upgrade our understanding of why we don't have

410
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 14: them to begin with. You know, it's like everyone's like, no,

411
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,719
Speaker 14: I'm going to have boundaries, and anybody that doesn't have

412
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 14: my boundaries like you're cut out of my life. And

413
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 14: people don't want to respect your boundaries, and there's such

414
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 14: this like harsh judgmental view. And the thing is the

415
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 14: people in our lives that are trying to climb over

416
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 14: them don't understand what they are either, which is why

417
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 14: they don't even apply them to their own selves. So

418
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 14: I think on the journey of finding boundaries, we always

419
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 14: have to try to steep it in overall compassion and

420
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 14: non judgment. A lot of us are doing things for

421
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 14: the very first time. A lot of us have just

422
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 14: heard about boundaries for the very first time. And very often,

423
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 14: if you don't have boundaries already, it's because different things

424
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 14: happened in your life that led you to kind of

425
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 14: disregard yourself in certain ways or not think that you

426
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 14: have the right or the worth to choose yourself.

427
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 4: First, are you born with boundaries and then they get

428
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 4: torn down at some point?

429
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 5: We never have them and we have to learn how

430
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 5: to build them.

431
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 14: One of the reasons that I most often work with

432
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 14: and see in our childhood, certain things have to happen

433
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 14: for us to become the best version of our adult self.

434
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 14: There has to be certain kinds of role modeling in

435
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 14: place of behavior. There has to be role modeling of care,

436
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 14: of understanding, of listening of language. If we have experienced

437
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 14: certain emotional neglect or traumas Big t R. Little Tea,

438
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 14: it affects the way your core identity is established. Your

439
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 14: core identity is established in childhood. That is the peace

440
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 14: of you. That isn't the roles you play, but it's

441
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 14: the piece of you that thinks that you're worthy, that

442
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 14: thinks that you have rights, that knows that your emotional

443
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 14: life matters. If you're not given that opportunity to grow

444
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 14: that in a safe way, you don't know how to

445
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 14: set boundaries because you don't understand yourself your own needs,

446
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 14: You don't understand what you require.

447
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 15: And sometimes things bad happen to you or people burn you,

448
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 15: and then you're like, okay, moving forward.

449
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: This is how I have to move.

450
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 14: Absolutely, And I think when that stuff happens in our

451
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 14: adult life, even still, it usually comes down to an

452
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 14: original wound that happened in childhood. There was something in

453
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,160
Speaker 14: the dynamic with the child and the caregiver or whatever

454
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 14: adults may have been present, where their needs were not

455
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 14: looked at, and you maybe had to please the person

456
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 14: that was caretaking for you to get what you needed.

457
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 14: And so then in your adult life you find yourself

458
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 14: repeating those patterns in so many different ways, and friendships

459
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 14: and relationships and the jobs that you choose and the

460
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 14: way that you're dynamic with your boss and your coworkers

461
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 14: is like it permeates everything about your life. There is

462
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 14: nothing more important than childhood.

463
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 3: So how do you base your circle there? Because there's

464
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 3: going to be some people that are into the things

465
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 3: that you're into, some people that don't care about it,

466
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 3: some people that don't believe. So how do you keep

467
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 3: your circle? Do you keep those people that are not

468
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 3: in your circle? Or do you set up those boundaries?

469
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 3: But it's like, all right, well, if you're not believed,

470
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 3: I'll wait for you to be a believer to be

471
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 3: in a circle. So but how do you go about

472
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 3: your your normal day.

473
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 14: I don't think people have to be believers, Like, I'm

474
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 14: not looking to convince anyone, and I'm okay if we

475
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 14: are not aligned in our beliefs, but I have to

476
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 14: prioritize what is actually nurturing my own life first. I

477
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 14: would say this, all of us hold on to too

478
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 14: many people for too long. There's not really the room

479
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 14: for that. And so over the last two years, like

480
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 14: I've massively shed in my life, and some of them

481
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:49,159
Speaker 14: were highly intentional, like friendships that were misaligned because of character,

482
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 14: because of integrity, because of choices.

483
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 3: How are those conversations like, so, let's say there is

484
00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 3: somebody you're clicking, need to have a conversation, Yeah, because

485
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,199
Speaker 3: they're not following the same journey that you're following, you

486
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 3: just don't want them around, honestly, So how do you

487
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 3: have those pusiesses?

488
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:07,239
Speaker 14: So if you're me, you just have them. I'm not

489
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 14: taking other people's misdirected emotions personally, So if someone is

490
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 14: upset in our conversation, that's not going to rock me.

491
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 14: And I'm also not going to take on a lot

492
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,880
Speaker 14: of guilt about it. I trust that my choices are

493
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 14: made in integrity. But you know, you have to be direct,

494
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 14: but you also have to know yourself to be direct

495
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 14: in a way that it's actually healing and beneficial, not

496
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 14: you know when people use that term brutally honest or

497
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 14: I keep it real. Real is relative. You're real is

498
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 14: based on your life experience, and it could be completely

499
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 14: fraudulent to someone else based on how they recognize real.

500
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 14: So I think there has to be a certain amount

501
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 14: of self awareness in yourself before you have that conversation,

502
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 14: and it's important to come into a space, if possible,

503
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 14: of more neutrality so that you can walk away from

504
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 14: something with lasting peace.

505
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 3: So as a friend, let's say make the camera guide.

506
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 3: Let's say do you guide him first of what you

507
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,120
Speaker 3: think of being a friend, Like, Hey, Nick, I think

508
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 3: that you're doing this too much. I think you need

509
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 3: to fall back and look at this or is it

510
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 3: one of those things like, bro, you're not going in

511
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 3: my direction, I gotta go.

512
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 14: When I started noticing that some friendships felt misaligned or

513
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 14: non reciprocal in the ways that were important to me,

514
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 14: I just made a mental note and I told myself

515
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 14: that I was going to slowly observe it. So you

516
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 14: could do that in a way of saying I'm going

517
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 14: to give somebody three strikes or three chances. But I

518
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 14: just started slowly observing and still interacting with the person.

519
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 14: How the flow of our relationship was, how often did

520
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 14: we talk, Were they able to show up for me?

521
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 14: Was I showing up for them? And I just watched

522
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 14: it over the course of the year. So I started

523
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 14: just observing people from afar, noticing things, keeping mental notes,

524
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 14: and then I really prayed about it. I said prayers,

525
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 14: I set intentions around it. Lead me to the aligned

526
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 14: friendships and partnerships allow me to remove with ease any

527
00:23:55,280 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 14: friendships or connections that are not serving or misaligned. That

528
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 14: was done, and I started really saying, Okay, yeah, that's

529
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 14: not a fit. I just called people up directly, and

530
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 14: I was like, Hey, I want to talk to you

531
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 14: about our friendship. I want to talk about our relationship.

532
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 14: And I said, I just want to let you know.

533
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,199
Speaker 14: I don't have a lot of judgment around you or this,

534
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 14: but I need to share how I'm feeling. I usually

535
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 14: had supporting examples of you know, this experience happened, this

536
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,719
Speaker 14: is the way it made me feel. What are your

537
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 14: thoughts on that. Some people in my life said, thank

538
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 14: you so much for telling me this. I felt something

539
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 14: changing between us. I never saw that. I didn't even

540
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 14: notice I was doing that. But you're absolutely right. I'm

541
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,439
Speaker 14: sorry we were able to rebuild some people. It's just

542
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 14: like okay, I the show, you know, or f you like, okay,

543
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 14: but da da da da da da da. So I

544
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 14: think walking into setting boundaries, walking into shedding people, you

545
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 14: have to also walk in with a confidence of it's

546
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 14: okay if I lose them, it's okay if they don't understand,

547
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 14: and it's also okay if they blame me. None of

548
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 14: that has anything to do with me.

549
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 5: You know, you know, I thank God for you daily.

550
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 5: I tell you this all the time.

551
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 4: But it's just like our relationship, it's never been a

552
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 4: time we didn't share information. It's never been a time

553
00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 4: we didn't have, you know, deep conversation. It's just like

554
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 4: things evolved and went from Yo charlatvie listening to this

555
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 4: nippsey hustle bullets ain't got no name arguing about Kendrick Lamar.

556
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 5: You know what I mean to.

557
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 4: Read deepaktrop or seven spiritual success, Like it just seemed

558
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 4: effortless the whole time.

559
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, And is that what you should look for?

560
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 14: I guess absolutely, Like and I love us as a

561
00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 14: case study of that, because we've been friends for now

562
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 14: like fifteen years, and we've seen each other at so

563
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 14: many junctures of the journey. But what we always had

564
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 14: was non judgment. We always had an openness, We always

565
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 14: had an ability to talk things through. And I think

566
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 14: you don't want to just hold on to people because

567
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 14: of a length of time or this like false sense

568
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 14: of loyalty which no one actually has a real definition

569
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 14: for that word, like changes with everyone. You have to

570
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 14: really look at, like what is kind of doing life

571
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 14: with a friend? Can we go six months without talking

572
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 14: because we're both in a different place and then come

573
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 14: back together. I think we should be allowed to But yeah,

574
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 14: being able to kind of just evolve as equals at

575
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 14: every step is what I look for in friendship. And

576
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 14: I'm also okay with things not having to be that deep.

577
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 14: There's some people in my life. I trust them to

578
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 14: be themselves and I show up as myself and I

579
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 14: give them what they can handle of me.

580
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:29,439
Speaker 7: You don't pray about me every day.

581
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 14: You I was like, what is envy thinking?

582
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 5: Over there? I do thank God for you. You, thank

583
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 5: God for this whole situation. This situation we change our life.

584
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 7: We're openness with deep.

585
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: I just want to know why you never told me that.

586
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 7: He don't say it.

587
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 5: Let me see what the blood is. I hear womb talking.

588
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 3: We got more with Debbie Brown when we come back,

589
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 3: So it don't ove. It's the breakfast Club.

590
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 7: Good morning boning everybody.

591
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 3: You seej the Envy Angela Yee Charalamage, the guy we

592
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 3: are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with deVie Brown.

593
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 5: Chal.

594
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 4: Now, let's talk about how a person can build a

595
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 4: daily self care like spiritual practice routine just start healing

596
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,160
Speaker 4: and changing their life.

597
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 5: How does a person do that?

598
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 14: Oh, this is the most important thing. So you have

599
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 14: to make it sustainable, so that it's actually becomes your

600
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,360
Speaker 14: lived experience and not just something you speak but are

601
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 14: not acting or living. And so what you want to

602
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 14: do when you're building a practice, first, identify how much

603
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 14: time you have. I know a lot of people work

604
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 14: really hard and have a lot of responsibilities. So even

605
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 14: if only five minutes is possible, please try to gift

606
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,919
Speaker 14: yourself with this. But if you can be more expansive

607
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 14: and spend thirty minutes, spend an hour, that could be

608
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 14: really powerful. What you want to do is you want

609
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 14: to build your daily practice around the four pillars of wholeness,

610
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 14: which is mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. You want to

611
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 14: find something to do every day that falls in one

612
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 14: of those categories. For mental, that could look like journaling,

613
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 14: that could be wow. I noticed that I keep thinking

614
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 14: about this one thought every day. It helps to build

615
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 14: or re establish your intuition, which is also something that

616
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 14: a lot of people lack because they so often go

617
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 14: against what their gut tells them to do. That's the

618
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 14: mental category. Looking at the emotional category, that could be

619
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 14: meditation every day really coming into a space of knowing

620
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 14: how to be with yourself, how to meet yourself, how

621
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 14: to remember all of who you truly are outside of

622
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 14: the roles that we play in life, outside of the

623
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 14: things that have happened to us. You look at physical

624
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 14: for some that's a workout, but that could also look

625
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 14: like a daily stretch practice, that could look like yoga,

626
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 14: that could look like remembering to massage your own shoulders

627
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 14: at the end of the night because you're aching and

628
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 14: you deserve your own touch. And then if we look

629
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 14: at the spiritual category, that could really look like affirmations

630
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 14: every day speaking life over yourself, and let's take it

631
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 14: a step deeper than some of the ones of like

632
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 14: I am abundant or I am love or I am strong,

633
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 14: really call forward what you want to embody. You know,

634
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 14: one of my first affirmations and my healing journey was

635
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 14: I'm a precious child of God, leading from my heart's center,

636
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 14: working in mastery of my being. Saying that over myself

637
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 14: every day changed me. So doing something every day that

638
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 14: supports who you are and who you're becoming and who

639
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 14: you have become is essential. It also teaches you emotional regulation,

640
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 14: which means that every day you can go into the

641
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 14: world as your true self and not as the version

642
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 14: of you that's constantly reacting to things.

643
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 5: What does self acceptance look like?

644
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 14: Deep surrender and deep trust. To accept yourself means that

645
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 14: you are aware of all that you are, including the

646
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 14: things that may be a little bit unfinished or the

647
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 14: things that you may have judged, but to know that

648
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 14: it all serves purpose. To have acceptance is to also

649
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,120
Speaker 14: have this trust that I may not like everything that's

650
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,719
Speaker 14: happening right now or that has happened to me, but

651
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 14: I do understand and trust that it is serving a

652
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 14: purpose I don't yet know, and so I am an

653
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 14: acceptance of what currently is doesn't mean you don't want

654
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 14: it to change, doesn't mean it doesn't have the potential

655
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 14: to change.

656
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 4: Is that the first step to beginning to love yourself?

657
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 4: How do you begin to love yourself?

658
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 14: I think they're kind of both happening at the same time,

659
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 14: but I will say, you know, to love yourself, it's

660
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 14: a constantly evolving process. But I think it does require

661
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 14: that daily practice that I talked about. Loving yourself can't

662
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 14: be related to how really you look, how other people

663
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 14: are validating you or not, how they're treating you. It

664
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 14: has to be like I exist, and that's enough, and

665
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 14: that alone is worthy of love.

666
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 4: The action I want to ask is, like, you know,

667
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 4: I know we have a lot of people listening right now.

668
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 4: They might have seen the sessions they you know, probably

669
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 4: listen to dropping gems. I want to do like a

670
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 4: mindfulness minute, Like what's what's a breathing exercise? Is something

671
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 4: that we could do to like just ground people right

672
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 4: now in this moment.

673
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 14: I would love to are you guys all going to

674
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 14: do with me?

675
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 6: Sure? Okay? I want to ask.

676
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 14: Everybody right now listening connecting to the sound in my voice,

677
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 14: come into a relaxed state with your body. And I

678
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 14: want to invite you to gently close your eyes, let

679
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 14: your spine feel straight and support it. Release any tension

680
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 14: that maybe in your shoulders, maybe turn your palms upward

681
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 14: into a state of receiving. Unclench your job there's any

682
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 14: pressure present, and now let yourself just stretch your neck

683
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 14: a little bit from side to side. And now let's

684
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 14: connect to our breath. First, begin to notice how your

685
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 14: natural breath is feeling in your body. And now I

686
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 14: want to invite you to take your right hand and

687
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 14: place it over your chest, right at your heart center.

688
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 14: And now just notice what that pressure of your hand

689
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 14: feels like. Now we're going to begin some deep breathing

690
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 14: through her noses. We're going to do some big inhales

691
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 14: through her nose and then out of our nose, and

692
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 14: we'll do this three times together. And what we're looking

693
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 14: to do is take a big deep inhale, slowly fully,

694
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 14: starting now filling your chest and really stretch, take it

695
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 14: a little more air, and then hold the air at

696
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 14: the top once it's in. And now as we breathe

697
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 14: out of our nose, I want you to do it

698
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 14: slowly and fully, and now we'll begin that breath again

699
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 14: and through your nose, let your chest expand your heart open,

700
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 14: hold it and release. And now begin again.

701
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 6: In through your nose.

702
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 14: And hold it and release that breath, and it'll turn

703
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 14: a right. Now, silently to yourself, I'd like you to repeat,

704
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 14: I am calling forward my highest self, and I want

705
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 14: you to think about something currently present in your life.

706
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 14: It could be perceived as good as challenging, but something

707
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 14: that you've really been chewing on lately, some dynamic maybe

708
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 14: in your life or relationship, or something you're excited about.

709
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 14: And I would just want you to hold that seed

710
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 14: in your mind's eye, and I want you to think

711
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 14: about any nourishing or evolutionary choices or lens of perceptions

712
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 14: that you can shift to around whatever this morsel is

713
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 14: that you're chewing on. Is it about surrendering, is it

714
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,719
Speaker 14: about an action step, or is it just an observation

715
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 14: something that can be released. I want you to think

716
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 14: of an intention around it. And maybe it is my

717
00:33:55,240 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 14: intention is to release this, or my intention is to

718
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 14: really feel all of this, or my intention is to

719
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 14: manifest this and silently within your own hearts to yourselves.

720
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 14: I want you to state that intention my intention is.

721
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 14: And now we're going to do a cleansing lion's breath,

722
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 14: which is going to be deep in hell through your nose,

723
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 14: and then it'll be followed out by signing it out

724
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 14: through your mouth with your tongue out and it'll sound

725
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 14: a little like this. So we'll begin our in hell

726
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 14: now through our noses and release through your mouth, and

727
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 14: now shake out your hand that was on your heart,

728
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 14: allow it to drop back down to the tops of

729
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 14: your thighs, and as you feel ready, gently open your eyes.

730
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 5: How can I want to sleep this night?

731
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 14: And you know that experience that we just did, and

732
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 14: everyone could start and end their day like that it

733
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 14: probably spent maybe a minute there. That is a daily practice.

734
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 14: What we just did that was breathwork. So that's an

735
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 14: experience that you can invite into your life to regulate

736
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 14: your nervousness. Yes, because what was happening internally as we

737
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 14: did that was our body was able to come into

738
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,200
Speaker 14: the present moment. If you're under deep stress or you

739
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 14: have had trauma, you don't feel present in your body.

740
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 14: And so to just be able to settle into yourself

741
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 14: and then to give yourself that nourishing breath that resets

742
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 14: your emotional center. It changes what's possible.

743
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 6: The thing about.

744
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 14: Trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, it limits what's possible in your

745
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 14: life because it limits the choices you make and how

746
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 14: you view yourself.

747
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:55,200

00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 4: you really put a lot of thought into how you

781
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 4: how you drive?

782
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:31,239
Speaker 6: Sometimes?

783
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 5: Okay?

784
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 6: You know, sometimes I do, and sometimes it's just grace.

785
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 3: Now, you said that during your speech that this was

786
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 3: an award that you wanted for a long time. Was

787
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:40,279
Speaker 3: that true that long after?

788
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 6: Since? You know, I didn't even know that you could

789
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 6: get an award for that, but just wanted to be

790
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 6: recognized for the canvas that I create when I go out.

791
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 6: It's really important to me. It's my therapy. You know,

792
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,919
Speaker 6: I can't leave without half of mine, like I said,

793
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 6: and the speak together, it was just something that came

794
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 6: with my head. You know, it's a nagging thing, and

795
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 6: sometimes when I don't try really hard, it sometimes gracefully

796
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 6: comes together. I guess maybe because of my attention, the

797
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 6: fashion gods gave me the keys out here in these streets.

798
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 9: You talked about your best friend who accompanied you to

799
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 9: the award, and afraid of him introducing you to a

800
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 9: lot of the fashion houses and stuff like that. Were

801
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 9: fashion houses always like open and like rushing to support

802
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 9: you in all of your creative ideas or did you

803
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 9: have to was there a fight, because a lot of

804
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 9: artists talk about it being a fight trying to get

805
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 9: into the couture houses.

806
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 6: You know, I was out since nineteen ninety seven, and

807
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 6: social media was really the opening to a lot of

808
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 6: these relationships because they could now directly get to the

809
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,239
Speaker 6: artists where they probably didn't know how to get to

810
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,720
Speaker 6: the ones that they wanted to feature before. The first

811
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 6: person that reached out to me was Tom Ford. Tom

812
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:56,959
Speaker 6: Ford wanted to do a perfume at White Petruli, which

813
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 6: was this natural incense labor for years. This was two

814
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:07,480
Speaker 6: thousand and two two. Yeah. So that's Tom Ford and

815
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 6: some Fords from Texas as well. So we kind of

816
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 6: formed of a bond. I guess as I evolved my

817
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 6: style other uh uh houses or artists, cause it's really

818
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 6: the creative director. Yeah, it's the person. He is the

819
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 6: He is the house at the time because his vision

820
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 6: is trusted most. And they started, you know, kind of

821
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 6: paying attention to you know, the good, the guardiness or

822
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 6: the freedness or the hoobo sheetness. It it's been called

823
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 6: all kinds of things. Next words, Roberto Teach sheet m

824
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 6: I mean he was uh the creetive director of J

825
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 6: and she at the time, and that was my first

826
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 6: booll campaign and he let me co style with him

827
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 6: put things together. And I think it just after that

828
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 6: I was kind of, you know, I was on the

829
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 6: radar or for a certain thing. Definitely the page to

830
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 6: go to if you want to know what's.

831
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,160
Speaker 9: Next, And how do you pick, Like the other day

832
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 9: at the CFDA Wards, you're in Tom Brown, how do

833
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 9: you pick designers? In which houses now you want to

834
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 9: work with? Because I'm sure they're all banging. You can

835
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 9: do what you want now.

836
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 6: Right And I picked Tom specifically for this event because

837
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 6: he's the chairman of the event, yes, and he's he's

838
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 6: also a very very good friend of life and his

839
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 6: art is just so amazing. So I thought, since I

840
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,240
Speaker 6: was being honored, I would also honor him by wearing

841
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 6: one of his pieces. And I chose one from Runway,

842
00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,479
Speaker 6: a really beautiful architectural shape, real pretty, and I said,

843
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 6: but I need something futuristic ancient to go on top.

844
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 6: And I saw this AI. I think he saw this

845
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 6: post this morning. I'm not sure, but I saw this

846
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 6: AI rendering of this this head piece, and I reached

847
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 6: out to the person and I told him, this is

848
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 6: really beautiful I would love to challenge a designer to

849
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 6: bring this to life in the five D world or

850
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:53,240

864
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 3: You've done capsules before with people and collaborated. You ever

865
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 3: thought about doing your whole line, like a full clothing

866
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 3: line from America bad from Ruda to Tutor and everything

867
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 3: in between, And.

868
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 6: I have thought about that. I had a chance to

869
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 6: practice that with Marnie and Francesco Riso. We did a

870
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 6: collapse Marnie and Badu last year. A lot of things

871
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 6: happened for me in fashion last year, right, you know

872
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 6: there was the last two years. It was my first

873
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 6: fashion week, so that's when I really started to catch

874
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 6: the bug and I met Francesco because we went to

875
00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 6: the met ball together and we drew up some things

876
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 6: and talked about some things and had a capsule line

877
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 6: that came out and these leads are part of it.

878
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,040
Speaker 9: The collab was everywhere. It was what yes, everybody was

879
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,040

882
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, wow, and that was so during that time. That

00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:37,399
Speaker 6: Twenty two?

885
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 2: Is that collab? The collab when you got to work

886
00:42:40,160 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 2: with your daughter of Puma two with Marnie or was it?

887
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 5: Yes?

888
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,240
Speaker 2: Okay, yes? And how did that feel?

889
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 9: Because it's like, okay, we see lebron and Bronnie on

890
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 9: the court and their like you know, but like this

891
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 9: is your lane and now your daughter is coming into

892
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:52,800
Speaker 9: it and you all are working with a fashion house.

893
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:55,399
Speaker 2: How did you feel just doing that with her?

894
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 6: Oh? It was surreal. It was a dream, you know,

895
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,919
Speaker 6: because of Puma, such an individual person that I didn't

896
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,319
Speaker 6: know what direction she wanted to go in, and I

897
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 6: still don't. You know, she's she's twenty, so she's kind

898
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 6: of finding her way. And sometimes when your kid is

899
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 6: an artist, they don't want to follow your shadow. Yeah,

900
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 6: they want to find their own thing. But she was

901
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 6: cool with supporting me and standing beside me, and she

902
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,560
Speaker 6: was like, Mom, I don't care. Yes, this is for you.

903
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 3: So would you do your own line? Do you want

904
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 3: to do your line or that's not something that's in

905
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 3: your posture right now?

906
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 6: Absolutely?

907
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 3: Would you have the time for it?

908
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:34,279

937
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 3: Everybody is DJ env Jess Hilarius, Charlamage the guy. We

938
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 3: are the Breakfast Club long A Rosa feeling in for

939
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 3: Jess and was still kicking it with Erica Baddo Charlam.

940
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,839
Speaker 4: Now, you've always been an artist that's sensitive about You

941
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 4: told that a long time ago. But you said in

942
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 4: your speech at c fd A that is scary being

943
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,239
Speaker 4: an artist in the social media era.

944
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 5: So how is social media made that critique worse?

945
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,359
Speaker 6: I guess yeah, it is scary. I mean I've heard

946
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 6: my own kids be afraid to express and share their art.

947
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 6: Eric Abadu, kid is scared to share their art and

948
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,240
Speaker 6: express themselves because the audience is so vicious at this point,

949
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 6: and they have such a huge appetite for blood, and

950
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 6: they want people to be disciplined and humbled and punished

951
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,879
Speaker 6: for their success. Almost it's what it seems like. So

952
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,120
Speaker 6: that's why, you know, a lot of kids are afraid

953
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 6: to share their work or share their art, or feel

954
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 6: like they have to come at it with some kind

955
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 6: of armor on. And that armor doesn't allow for the

956
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:45,719
Speaker 6: art to truly express itself, in my opinion, so it's

957
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 6: a scary time for art. We didn't have to do that.

958
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 6: We didn't have to deal with that. You heard the

959
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 6: few little comments and things, but those weren't strong enough

960
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 6: to penetrate a strong person. But these things are now

961
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 6: because when people come in here in numbers. We've talked

962
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 6: about group thinks so many times. It was a prediction

963
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 6: that I made with the Windows Seed in twenty ten

964
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 6: a group thing would overshadow art, and it is right

965
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:19,759
Speaker 6: now because people can, people can. I think it's very

966
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 6: smart to get at the channels instead of getting at

967
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 6: the the the bloggers and the people. We see artists

968
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 6: penalizing the channels themselves, and I think that's the smart thing,

969
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 6: because that's what has to change. If that doesn't, if

970
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 6: there's no place to do that then and it won't

971
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 6: be done.

972
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 5: I agree.

973
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 3: Does that make you hesitant to release music?

974
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 6: No, not me.

975
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 5: You haven't dropped in fourteen years.

976
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 6: Fourteen years, it's been some time.

977
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 2: Fifteen I can make you put your phone down.

978
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, twenty fifteen, let's take okay, the ten years.

979
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 16: But the album, well, well, one reason I don't have

980
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:05,279
Speaker 16: to is because I am a performance artist and I've

981
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 16: been doing that constantly for the last thirty years, eight

982
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 16: years out, eight months out.

983
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,439
Speaker 6: Of the year, all year round, I do. So that's

984
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,279
Speaker 6: what I love to do. Only put out albums when

985
00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,719
Speaker 6: I have something to say, like you have something, yeah,

986
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 6: something pressing to say or push out. But I have

987
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 6: more than enough space to get my art out on stage,

988
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:31,880
Speaker 6: so it's not totally necessary to put out album For me.

989
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:35,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would just love to see the like the

990
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 4: Division of God has shown you, because like, if you

991
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:41,240
Speaker 4: look at your catalog right your catalog literally has predicted

992
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,600
Speaker 4: where we are now. So I can only imagine the

993
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 4: stuff you're creating right now. How far into the future

994
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 4: you seeing things?

995
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,319
Speaker 6: Me too, I mean, I'm writing right now. I got

996
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 6: a project coming.

00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 5: Out soon, a full album.

Speaker 3: next year soon.

1004
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 6: See, it's an important one. It's a collab album.

1005
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 5: Oh you're another artist.

1006
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 3: You're not gonna say, who are you?

1007
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 2: You can hundred three thousand a rap again?

1008
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 6: He's a guy that's okay, So yeah, wow, do I

1009
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 6: think you're a rap again?

1010
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 9: I'll say, is this gonna be the collab album that

1011
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 9: gets in the rap again? And also you can answer

1012
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,439
Speaker 9: do you think he'll rap again?

1013
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 6: And and why would you say is this gonna be

1014
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 6: the collab album? Because you're assuming that it's him. Yeah,

1015
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 6: I'm asking you can assume whatever you want. But I

1016
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,640
Speaker 6: don't know. I don't know. I don't think he has to.

1017
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 6: He's speaking with that instrument. It's the same thing. It missed,

1018
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 6: the same kind of thing. Yeah. The way he make

1019
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 6: us feeling with bombs over back Dad is the way

1020
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 6: he makes people who are ready for that feel. It's

1021
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 6: the same thing. It's his energy, it's his air. When

1022
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 6: I feel it. That's the rap to me. He wrapping

1023
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 6: to me, that's true.

1024
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,240
Speaker 4: I can see what y'all are twin flames too. Because

1025
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 4: he was on stage and it was one part of

1026
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 4: the show. He just started going making all kinds of

1027
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 4: noises and the crowd was answering him back, and then

1028
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,359
Speaker 4: he goes, I wasn't saying, he.

1029
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 9: Presented you with your c FDA fashion that kind of word. Yeah,

1030
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 9: on the way that, like, I know you, you reached

1031
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 9: out to him to have him present to you, and

1032
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 9: you guys had a conversation.

1033
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 6: He was saying, I did.

1034
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 2: Well.

1035
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 6: It was a kind of tricky thing. I actually reached

1036
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 6: out to Tianna Taylor because I think she's next. Wow, Yeah,

1037
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 6: I think she's I think she has a really good

1038
00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:45,239
Speaker 6: grasp for on art, in fashion, functional art. I'm really

1039
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:48,919
Speaker 6: impressed and inspired by. But I asked her. I'd asked

1040
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 6: andre before but he didn't respond, And then they came

1041
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 6: back and totally after I asked Tianna that Andreas said yes,

1042
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 6: and I had to figure out how to you know,

1043
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 6: maneuver that. Yeah, you know, because that meant a lot

1044
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 6: to her. Oh yes, I want to tell her I

1045
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 6: love you so very much, and I'm so happy that

1046
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 6: we're a friends, and I hope that that did not

1047
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 6: bring a wedge between us in any way. But that's

1048
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 6: hundred eighty thousand girl and your best friend.

1049
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 5: You got to talk to people. You gotta talk through

1050
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 5: people to get to him. No, oh, you just said

1051
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,279
Speaker 5: they came my sister Okay told me that he was

1052
00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 5: found you.

1053
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 6: No, No, well sometimes, yeah, it depends you know how

1054
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 6: busy he is. Yeah, I'll follow proper protocol.

1055
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I said, artist, when did you realize that you

1056
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 3: didn't get You said, You're gonna do what you want

1057
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 3: to do. You're gonna put out what you want to

1058
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 3: put out. You don't necessarily have to fit in the

1059
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 3: box of every artist. You don't have to follow the

1060
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 3: platform and say this is it, take a leave it.

1061
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 3: When did you get to that.

1062
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 6: Point in the contract negotiation in nineteen ninety seven, ninety five?

1063
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 6: Oh no, I mean I didn't have to do it,

1064
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 6: you know, and they didn't have to you know. I

1065
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 6: figured it was a partnership and I was doing the

1066
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 6: record label of Favor. I knew who I was, I

1067
00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 6: knew what I was getting ready to do. I had

1068
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 6: a mission and nothing was going to infiltrate it, not

1069
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 6: even my own fearing doubts. And I'm still on mission.

1070
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 6: Best work is still in me and I have not

1071
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 6: accomplished whatever that is yet, because there's still this feeling

1072
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 6: of use and greenness and gross.

1073
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 3: When you look at other artists without saying names, do

1074
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 3: you see it in them like they're selling themselves out?

1075
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:30,239
Speaker 3: I know they're different. What made me think about it is,

1076
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 3: you know, when j Cole jumped into that beef, he

1077
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 3: came back and said this is not for me. People

1078
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 3: isshed on them and said this, that and the other.

1079
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:40,479
Speaker 3: But that was his assignment and you can't be mad

1080
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 3: as assignment, and even me as a fan, was kind

1081
00:51:42,520 --> 00:51:44,440
Speaker 3: of like he was on a mission.

1082
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 5: He realized.

1083
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 6: I understand that sometimes I believe that, you know, being

1084
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 6: on mission or your assignment is not always to do

1085
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:55,400
Speaker 6: something heavenly and great and good. Sometimes it's to create

1086
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 6: some chaos so that you may shake things up. Fertilizer

1087
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 6: is put into a pot to disturb the roots. It's

1088
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,919
Speaker 6: poisoning them so they have to move. You can't really

1089
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 6: judge it. You don't know what somebody's mission in because

1090
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 6: it all counts.

1091
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,120
Speaker 5: It's all matter, and you don't know what journey God

1092
00:52:12,160 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 5: got them more.

00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 6: That's right.

1094
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,319
Speaker 5: You don't get Macha Max without Malcolm Little, that's right.

1095
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,840
Speaker 6: You don't get Ericabaudu without trying to take it.

1096
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:22,439
Speaker 2: Street name.

1097
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 6: You don't get Eric Abadu without butchery knife Batty there.

1098
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:28,760
Speaker 6: That's my new Monica.

00:52:36,840 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 3: Baddo Lauren.

1103
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 9: Were their points like bag Lady, I was saying earlier

1104
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 9: in the room that I remember when bag Lady for

1105
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 9: me started hitting differently and I was listening to it.

1106
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 2: And it was like, ooh, I get it now.

1107
00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 9: When I was younger, I was just listening to it

1108
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:52,359
Speaker 9: because it was played in my house and I loved

1109
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 9: the song. But I literally remember that feeling for you.

1110
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 9: Were there points in your life where you had to

1111
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 9: be like, oh I get it, like I feel it lady,

1112
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 9: or like was this song of service for someone else?

1113
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 6: You mean feeling my own song?

1114
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 9: You're you're feeling your just Even before Bad Lady was created,

1115
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 9: maybe there was a time in your life that you know,

1116
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 9: created or inspired the song. When did you get out

1117
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 9: of the bad Lady phase? And what did that feel

1118
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 9: like for you?

1119
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 5: She has a lot of baggage.

1120
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:21,800
Speaker 3: Men have told Lauren that she needs the healing. A

1121
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 3: couple of men did that to Lauren. They said, I'll

1122
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 3: spend the block what you need to heal.

1123
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 5: You need to work on yourself.

1124
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 6: So what y'all think about the two guys instead of that?

1125
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 5: Be right? I think they're right on a journey.

1126
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 6: She's on a journey. And the two men that you respect,

1127
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 6: one of them are respect told you that you need

1128
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 6: to work on yourself. Yes, as an insult or as

1129
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 6: encouragement in love.

1130
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,440
Speaker 9: The second one, I think it was an insult and

1131
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 9: deflecting the first.

1132
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 12: Yeah.

1133
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 9: The first one, I think it was like he really cares,

1134
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 9: Like that's why when he said it, I was like, Okay,

1135
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 9: I hear you. I'm in a point in my life

1136
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:56,799
Speaker 9: now where I can do the accountability.

1137
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 6: But does he need to work on himself as well?

1138
00:53:58,680 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 2: Yes he does?

1139
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 6: Does he know? Yes?

1140
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 2: He does?

1141
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 6: Okay?

1142
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 7: Cool?

1143
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 2: Second one really know, like it's.

1144
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 6: You really know he got to work on hisself.

1145
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 2: I don't even want nothing to do with that, Like

1146
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 2: it's bad.

1147
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 9: But I asked that because I just feel like as

1148
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:13,439
Speaker 9: I got older and realized how much you do care,

1149
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 9: especially emotionally, sometimes yeah, it weighs into other things and

1150
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 9: it closes doors, or it cuts off relationships, or you

1151
00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 9: just miss out on good things. And every time I

1152
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 9: listen to that song, I'm like, man, how did she

1153
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:25,400
Speaker 9: know that people was going to need this?

1154
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 14: You know?

1155
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,600
Speaker 6: I was writing what I felt, you know, in my heart,

1156
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 6: and I did hear it later and I talking to myself,

1157
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 6: my future self.

1158
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 9: Where were you at that time of your life when

1159
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 9: you were talking to your future self? Like, what was

1160
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 9: the transition you were trying to make?

1161
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:42,160
Speaker 6: I think I was transitioning out of a relationship where

1162
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 6: I was not happy about it, yeah, and realizing that

1163
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 6: I had to leave some things behind, some parts of

1164
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,319
Speaker 6: me behind. So it felt like a funeral or sort

1165
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 6: because you have a party, you have to die every

1166
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 6: time you evolve, You got to leave it back there.

1167
00:54:57,840 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 6: You want it because it's familiar, and a lot of

1168
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 6: times we like to resort to the familiar, even if

1169
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 6: it talks. So you have to lead at courts that

1170
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 6: beautiful old you that's to be left, and you have

1171
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,479
Speaker 6: to walk forward and I look back. That's the hardest part,

1172
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 6: not leaving the people, but it's leaving your always and you.

1173
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 4: You're also playing Lucille in the Netflix movie The Piano Lesson.

1174
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:23,919
Speaker 5: Were you a fan of the play.

1175
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 6: Absolutely. I went to HBC Gramley State University. I was

1176
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 6: a theater major. I was a lesbian. So we did

1177
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 6: a lot of August working material Lomaine Hansbury and a

1178
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 6: myriad of black artists playwrights. But we did do that

1179
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 6: play as well. And Lucille's part is very tiny, you know.

1180
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 6: But the most important role I played was composing music

1181
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 6: for the movie. Malcolm Washington, who is Denzel's son, is directing,

1182
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 6: and he called me and asked if I were put

1183
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 6: together some music for it. And I called my very

1184
00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 6: good friend Daniel Jones got risting, so safe journey. Daniel Jones.

1185
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 6: He came and put some beautiful pieces together nineteen thirties

1186
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 6: and I wrote, uh, lyrics over them, wow, And they're

1187
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 6: use they're used in the movie The Piano Lesson, I

1188
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 6: mean on Netflix.

1189
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 4: Then they he's producing The Piano Lesson, right, Yes, was

1190
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 4: he involved lately?

1191
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 6: He he was around, but he he stepped back and

1192
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 6: let his children work.

1193
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, what do you learn from your children now now

1194
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 5: that they're grown?

1195
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 6: Oh, so many things. Like I told you guys, there

1196
00:56:38,040 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 6: are definitely improvements on my design. Puma is at a

1197
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 6: place now at twenty that I was thirty before I

1198
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:50,360
Speaker 6: was at her level of understanding and emotional intelligence and

1199
00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 6: compassion for people, integrity, discipline. Yeah, I was still a

1200
00:56:55,719 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 6: child kind of twenty. I learned a lot from them,

1201
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 6: and they aren't very judgmental, you know, so they just

1202
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 6: kind of go along with whatever I do. We never

1203
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,279
Speaker 6: had rules. It was just do what I say, and

1204
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 6: they did that, watched me. You know, I never hid

1205
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,799
Speaker 6: anything from them. Yeah, they're they're turning. They're having their

1206
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 6: turn at showing me and teaching me patience and severity. Mama,

1207
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,960
Speaker 6: you gotta say what you feel, feel what you say.

1208
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:26,720
Speaker 6: That's mars. That that's the electronic, a little good mars. Yeah,

1209
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 6: they will, they'll tell me it will only be so

1210
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 6: kind now. And our first favorite saying is a couplistic saying.

1211
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 6: Severity without mercy is cruelty. Mercy without severity is weakness.

1212
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 6: So we try to walk that line. You know, Kindness

1213
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 6: isn't all it being you know, appearing nice kindness is

1214
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:54,840
Speaker 6: all also telling somebody to beat it right kind to yourself.

1215
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 3: You know, I've seen the Behi behive chased you a

1216
00:57:57,360 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 3: little bit for a little bit.

1217
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 6: Where's the behind now?

1218
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 2: On Twitter?

1219
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 6: I ain't seen to be honest a long time, and

1220
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 6: I love feest. They don't know I like it. I

Speaker 5: let this woman need be.

1226
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 6: I don't know why people think take things so serious.

1227
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 6: It's just my sense of humor. I love Jay.

1228
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,400
Speaker 9: Well you saw the cover though, knowing that there is

1229
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 9: the inspiration, Like does do those inspiration moments? Are you

1230
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 9: feeling like, oh my god, they saw what I was

1231
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 9: trying to do, they love it, they still doing it?

1232
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,520
Speaker 2: Or do you feel like, oh that was mine? Like,

1233
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 2: don't bite.

1234
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 6: I have to be very careful with this because my

1235
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:01,479
Speaker 6: children are watching me and that generation why chain and

1236
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 6: as much as we love our art, it doesn't belong

1237
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 6: to us once it goes out in the world. However,

1238
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 6: though you can't manage what people are going to do

1239
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 6: with the art. You can't manage whether they're going to

1240
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,040
Speaker 6: duplicate it or do another interpretation of it, or just

1241
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 6: enjoy it or use it as an inspiration. You can't

1242
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 6: manage that. But you don't have to remain silent about it.

1243
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 5: You can.

1244
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 6: If it makes you feel a way, you should say

1245
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:29,160
Speaker 6: something about it.

1246
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 4: My last question, I feel like everything you do is

1247
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 4: spirit all. Like I said earlier, is it even possible

1248
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 4: for you to do any type of art without divine

1249
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 4: energy being involved?

1250
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 6: I don't think so, even if I'm not aware of it,

1251
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 6: it's always involved. Yeah, something I know what it is.

1252
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 6: It's something we floating on that's giving us like choice

1253
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 6: of some sort. Yeah, you know, we're born, we're told

1254
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 6: you know was forborn. You know, our religion was here already.

1255
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 6: What we're supposed to believe in the tribe, the ways,

1256
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 6: the haunting ways, what we worship, how we worship, how

1257
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:12,240
Speaker 6: we learn, how we cook, how we dressed. There's a

1258
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 6: tribe and you learn that. Hopefully you go outside of

1259
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 6: that once you are of age to explore other things,

1260
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 6: because you want to see if that is true. And

1261
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 6: then now you're an individual human which creator in spirit,

1262
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 6: and then you have to learn how to go to

1263
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 6: walk in that humanness, in that spiritualness.

1264

Speaker 14: realize how big the fan base is.

1268
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:54,320
Speaker 2: The reach is, Oh, this is the figure that you've created.

1269
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is the problem.

1270
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:02,120

1271
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 6: actually reached out to Funko to do this because I

1272
01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:07,760

1273
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:08,840

Speaker 6: Good morning.

1283
01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 4: I say something you may not agree with doesn't mean

1284
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 4: I'm mean, who's getting that donk that donkey that don't

1285
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 4: don't don't don't dunk?

1286
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:37,440
Speaker 7: The other day?

1287
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 3: Right here to the breakfast club, bitch, you call me

1288
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 3: the donkey of the day, but I mean no harm.

1289
01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 4: Don't here today goes to a Baltimore man by the

1290
01:01:47,080 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 4: name of Kevin Gross. Kevin is forty six years old,

1291
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 4: just like I am. But I clearly make better choices

1292
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,560
Speaker 4: than Kevin. You know how sometimes people say, oh, you

1293
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 4: think you better than me? The answer is, yes, yes,

1294
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 4: I do, because I make better choices. Not judging you

1295
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,360
Speaker 4: for anything you got going on. But you asked me

1296
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 4: a question, Oh you think you better than me? Yes, hell, yes,

1297
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 4: because I understand the strongest principle of growth lies in

1298
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 4: human choice, and I make better choices than you. And

1299
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 4: if you are currently enjoying this thing called freedom, well

1300
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:18,919
Speaker 4: you make better choices than Kevin as well, because he's

1301
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 4: in jail, currently facing charges for allegedly shooting a twenty

1302
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 4: eight year old co worker on the side of I

1303
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 4: ninety five this past Monday morning. I know some of

1304
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,920
Speaker 4: y'all right now are either at or on the way

1305
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 4: to jobs where.

1306
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 5: You think you can't stand your coworker.

1307
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 4: You believe you hate this co worker with all your heart,

1308
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 4: and you just might, okay, just be better than Kevin.

1309
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:40,320
Speaker 5: Okay.

1310
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:41,919
Speaker 4: And the way you continue to be better than Kevin

1311
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 4: is simply by making the choice not to shoot your coworker.

1312
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 5: Let's go to WBALTV for the report.

1313
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 17: Polease bond denied for forty six year old Kevin Gross.

1314
01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 17: He's facing charges for allegedly shooting a twenty eight year

1315
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 17: old coworker on the side of I ninety five early

1316
01:02:56,720 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 17: Monday morning. According to charging documents, the victim called nine

1317
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 17: to one one. When state police arrived, they found him

1318
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 17: walking along the shoulder of ninety five with seven gunshot

1319
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 17: wounds to the arm and torso. Court documents show he

1320
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 17: told police he was on his way into work and

1321
01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 17: got a flat tire, so he pulled over on the

1322
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 17: shoulder of ninety five, just north of the Howard County line.

1323
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 17: When he got out to inspect the tire, his coworker,

1324
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 17: Kevin Gross, pulled up behind him and got out, wearing

1325
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 17: a mask covering his mouth.

1326
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:27,080
Speaker 9: Quote.

1327
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 17: Gross told him he must have hit a pothole or something,

1328
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 17: but upon inspecting the tire, the victim could see the

1329
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 17: tire had been slashed. Gross then produced a firearm and

1330
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 17: began firing numerous shots end quote. Charging documents reveal that

1331
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 17: two were assistant managers that planted aid in Elkridge. Gross

1332
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 17: had recently been demoted, and the victim told police Gross

1333
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 17: thought he had something to do with that demotion.

1334
01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 5: Kevin, you got to write last name because this was gross.

1335
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 4: What a diabolical plan. The victim was on his way

1336
01:03:56,920 --> 01:03:58,320
Speaker 4: to work and got a flat tire. He thought he

1337
01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 4: hit a pothole. His tire had been slashed. Oh, I

1338
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:02,960
Speaker 4: wanted who slashed him? And then when he got out

1339
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 4: there inspect the tire, Kevin pulled up behind him with

1340
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 4: a mask and shot him several times, all because he

1341
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 4: thought his coworker got him demoted. Both of them were

1342
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 4: assistant managers at Planet AID. Now y'all know what plan

1343
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 4: today is right now?

1344
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1345
01:04:14,880 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 4: They had organizations that collect the clothing donations. They got

1346
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:20,320
Speaker 4: the yellow bins all over the place you can put

1347
01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 4: the clothes and shoes in.

1348
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1349
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, they accept clothing donations in seventeen hundred locations. Okay,

1350
01:04:25,440 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 4: in the Elkridge warehouse. You know where Elkridge is, right, yep.

1351
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 4: They collect fifteen point five million pounds of used clothes

1352
01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 4: and shoes annually. Well, clearly Kevin wasn't there for the car,

1353
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 4: so I needed to know what are the perks of being.

1354
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 5: An assistant manager at Planet eight.

1355
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 4: So I asked chat GPT, how much does an assistant

1356
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 4: manager at Planet aid make? I don't know if this

1357
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 4: is one hundred percent correct, but it says the average

1358
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 4: salary for a manager at Planet aid might earn between

1359
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 4: fifty thousand and sixty thousand annually. Now I need y'all

1360
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 4: to always keep in mind that my education is limited

1361
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 4: to a high school degree from night school. Okay, dropping

1362
01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 4: the clues boumb for Berkeley High School rather than Monks Conta,

1363
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 4: South Carolina. But if it's one thing I understand is

1364
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:04,160
Speaker 4: prison math. And by prison math, I mean when you

1365
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 4: have to calculate in your mind whether or not the

1366
01:05:06,440 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 4: choice you make is gonna be worth you going to prison. Okay,

1367
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 4: now let's do the prison math.

1368
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 5: All right.

1369
01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 4: I'm making fifty sixty grand a year and Baltimore as

1370
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 4: a forty six year old man.

1371
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 5: I don't know about y'all.

1372
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 4: But if I can afford to put some food on

1373
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 4: my table and have a roof over my head, I'm

1374
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 4: gonna be happy.

1375
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:21,760
Speaker 5: Okay.

1376
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:25,520
Speaker 4: Success is subjective, and if you're a freeman forty six

1377
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 4: years old, you can come and go as you please.

1378
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 4: You got a job you maintaining. That's a good life.

1379
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 4: If you don't think it's a good life, go to

1380
01:05:31,920 --> 01:05:34,440
Speaker 4: a prison right now and talk to these brothers doing fifteen,

1381
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 4: doing twenty, doing twenty five, some of them doing forever,

1382
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 4: and ask them when they trade lives with the freeman

1383
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 4: making fifty to sixty grand as an assistant manager at

1384
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:44,280
Speaker 4: Planet eight.

1385
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 5: Hell, even if he got demoted, okay, even if he

1386
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 5: got demoted, The.

1387
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:52,000
Speaker 4: Warehouse lead role at Planet eight earns about twenty seven

1388
01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:54,880
Speaker 4: thirty nine per hour. According to chat GPT, that's almost

1389
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 4: fifty seven grand a year if you working forty hours

1390
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 4: a week. All I'm saying is, no matter how much

1391
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 4: I can calculate this prison math.

1392
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 5: Okay, I've done addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. I tried to

1393
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 5: figure this out multiple ways, and guess what, it just

1394
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 5: don't compute.

1395
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:13,360
Speaker 4: Okay, it just nothing add up. The victim is in

1396
01:06:13,400 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 4: critical condition. He got seven times, he got shot seven times.

1397
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 4: Kevin Gross is charged with attempted first degree murder in Maryland.

1398
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:23,560
Speaker 4: That's life in prison, first and second degree assault. Kevin

1399
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 4: Gross is also charged with first degree as sold, it's

1400
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 4: twenty five years in Maryland. Second degree is sold it's

1401
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:31,920
Speaker 4: ten years in Maryland and he got other related charges.

1402
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 4: Moral of the story is Kevin is spending the rest

1403
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:38,400
Speaker 4: of his natural born life in prison. Therefore, the prison

1404
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 4: math ain't adding up. It's just not worth it. You

1405
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 4: have to calculate it in your head. You got demoted.

1406
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 4: You don't even know if this.

1407
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 5: Person you shot had anything to do with.

1408
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 4: It, But even if they did, as soon as you

1409
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 4: started formulating this plan in your head, just think about it.

1410
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:54,800
Speaker 4: I'm gonna cut his tires, I'm gonna shoot him a

1411
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 4: bunch of times. At some point your brain has to

1412
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 4: say no, no, no, no, no, this prison math ain't mathing.

1413
01:07:01,280 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 4: This is not a situation that's worth having to eat

1414
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 4: jail food for the rest of your life or having

1415
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 4: an inmate treat your bunkie.

1416
01:07:08,800 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 5: Like a ball of cereal. So please let remy ma

Speaker 4: I don't know.

1427
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 5: But he didn't even ask no questions. He just assumed it.

1428
01:07:32,760 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 5: Was this other this other person and shot him seven times.

1429
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 5: Now he's gonna spend the rest of his life in

Speaker 5: Always do prison math though, whenever you're about.

1440
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:12,560
Speaker 4: To make a choice that you think we're gonna get

1441

Speaker 4: you in some type of trouble, especially if it's involving

1442
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 4: any type of crime, just just calculated in your head.

1443
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 4: Is this worth the time you're gonna get? What's that situation?

Speaker 3: got a special guest in the building. We have passed

1451
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:41,720
Speaker 3: the stepfan Eki oh before I.

1452
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 4: Feel good, you got a new book out and not

1453
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 4: a power of your dreams. Yeah, I love a good

1454
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 4: dream book. I'm the type of person that I keep

1455
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:51,439
Speaker 4: dream books by my bedside. When I wake up, I

1456
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 4: can look and see what certain things mean. Is that

1457
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:55,800
Speaker 4: what got you into wanting to write this book?

1458
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 9: No, So, I encountered God when I was nine years old,

1459
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 9: and one of the ways that was so consistent was

1460
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 9: that he would speak to me through dreams. And it's

1461
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,120
Speaker 9: interesting where you talk about, you know, using like having

1462
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 9: books that tell you about symbols and things like that,

1463
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 9: because I think one of the reasons why maybe sometimes

1464
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 9: people don't even understand the fullness of their dream is

1465
01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,560
Speaker 9: because they pick it apart, and the whole dream is

1466
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 9: telling a message. If you only pick it apart, you

1467
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:25,400
Speaker 9: may not understand the fullness of it. But dreams have

1468
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 9: been so consistent for me ever since nine years old.

1469
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 4: That is a great point, because I never look at

1470
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 4: the whole totality of my dream. I find like one

1471
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 4: thing that stood out.

1472
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 9: It's like a WebMD of dreams where people like get

1473
01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 9: books or go on Google and you're like, you only

1474
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 9: look at one thing. And that's one of the things

1475
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:43,360
Speaker 9: I talk about in the book where you have to

1476
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 9: look at it like a whole story and to understanding

1477
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 9: each symbol kind of like tell what is the dreams

1478
01:09:49,280 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 9: really saying?

1479
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 3: Like you said you had an accounter with God at

1480
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 3: the age of nine, Yeah, what was that encounter?

1481
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 5: What did he say?

1482
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 3: What was that conversation? Enlightened us with.

1483
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 1: What it was?

1484
01:09:58,000 --> 01:10:00,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, So my father was murdered when I was eight

1485
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 9: months old, and so I grew up with like a

1486
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 9: lot of anger and I was like, man, God, you know,

1487
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 9: if you didn't take my father, it was just another

1488
01:10:08,040 --> 01:10:09,479
Speaker 9: reason why I got angry again.

1489
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 2: But that day literally, like.

1490
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 9: I remember being in my room and I could feel

1491
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 9: like a presence in my room and got my mom's room.

1492
01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 2: She's and she's up.

1493
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,799
Speaker 9: So the moment I hop in her bed, she's out cold,

1494
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 9: like not moving, not responding, And I feel the same

1495
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 9: presence again in her room and I was like, God,

1496
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 9: I'm like, if this is of you, cause wind to

1497
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,160
Speaker 9: flow through my ankles out of nowhere. The windows are

1498
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:35,600
Speaker 9: not open, nothing, there was like this wind that just

1499
01:10:35,880 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 9: flows through me. Because when my eyes closed, I could

1500
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:42,479
Speaker 9: see a man sitting but his home makeup was like light.

1501
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 9: So then I removed like the covers of my eyes

1502
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 9: and I see him with my eyes open, sitting there.

1503
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 9: He gets up, He walks over to my mom and

1504
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:52,200
Speaker 9: I start asking him questions because I thought it was God,

1505
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 9: and I was like, where were you with my dad?

1506
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 12: Dad?

1507
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 2: Did Dad? And he starts saying something. I had no

1508
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 2: clue what he was saying. He walks over to my mom.

1509
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 2: He opens her hand. He put it's like this piece

1510
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 2: of paper in her hand, closes, it disappears. She wakes

1511
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 2: up that morning.

1512
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 9: Her pastor calls her and he was like, Hey, I

1513
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 9: was in prayer and I just feel like to tell

1514
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 9: you that there was an angelic encounter in your home.

1515
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:14,640
Speaker 9: But he didn't know to the degree of what he

1516
01:11:14,800 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 9: was even saying. And I was like, Mom, I'm telling you,

1517
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 9: this happened randomly. The document we had been literally ripping

1518
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 9: the whole house apart for just shows up on the table.

1519
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 2: And then I'm like, wait, was that the document? Like

1520
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 2: was that what it symbolized?

1521
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 9: Like they put in her hand, and so I'm like, oh,

1522
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,200
Speaker 9: my gosh, I met God. And then I stood at

1523
01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:33,920
Speaker 9: hearing the voice of God and it was like, that

1524
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 9: was not me, that was an angel.

1525
01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 5: What did the angel look like it looked like Homie

1526
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 5: from the Crossroads video.

1527
01:11:40,640 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 9: It was so he had like a he had a

1528
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 9: human form, but the only difference his home makeup was light.

1529
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 9: That was everything about him was like light radiating. So

1530
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 9: I couldn't even tell you how to describe his features because.

1531
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:55,800
Speaker 3: It was just light.

1532
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 9: I was going to say, like for you, it was

1533
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:00,719
Speaker 9: a lot more clear. But like some people think they're

1534
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:02,439
Speaker 9: hearing things, but it might not be clear that is

1535
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:06,080
Speaker 9: God to them. How do you coach people through being able.

1536
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 2: To let that voice break through and understanding it is God.

1537
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think one of the key things is found

1538
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,840
Speaker 9: the foundational element of it. Right, you don't need to

1539
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 9: read the Bible for God to speak to you, but

1540
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 9: you need to have an understanding of His voice in

1541
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 9: the Bible so that you're not deceived by the voices

1542
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 9: you hear. And so when you have a good foundation

1543
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:27,400
Speaker 9: of knowing the voice of God, even in his word,

1544
01:12:27,880 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 9: then when you begin to hear him or you see

1545
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 9: things in the book. One of the things I talk about,

1546
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,599
Speaker 9: even before I get into the subject of dreams, are

1547
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 9: the different ways.

1548
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 2: We experience God's voice.

1549
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:40,240
Speaker 9: The four primary way. So there are some people who

1550
01:12:40,439 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 9: they are feelers right. You know, God has emotions. The

1551
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 9: Bible talks about so many types of emotions, peace, you know, love, anger,

1552
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:49,479
Speaker 9: all these things. So there are people that you might

1553
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 9: walk into a room there's a deal on the table

1554
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 9: for you, everything checks off.

1555
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 3: But then you don't.

1556
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 9: You're not at peace with this. Something is like messing

1557
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 9: up with you, Like, I don't think this is for me.

1558
01:12:58,960 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 9: The problem is that if we don't have a god

1559
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 9: consciousness about life, we.

1560
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 2: Think it's us feeling that way.

1561
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 9: But the Lord is trying to share his emotions with you, like, hey,

1562
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:09,640
Speaker 9: I'm not in that. You know, it might look good

1563
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 9: on paper, but I'm not in that. So those are

1564
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 9: people that feel. There are people that know. There's some

1565
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 9: people that just have an instinctive knowing, and for many

1566
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:19,519
Speaker 9: that is more heightened when you're a kid.

1567
01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 2: There's a beauty with being a child.

1568
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:24,240
Speaker 9: Your intelligence is not in the way the older we

1569
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:28,160
Speaker 9: get our wisdom blocks us from discerning the voice of

1570
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 9: God because we're trying to, you know, outthink it. We're

1571
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 9: overthinking it rather like where did this come from? Where

1572
01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:35,599
Speaker 9: did that come from? And then there's the hearers. There

1573
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 9: are people who you know audibly. It's more rare to

1574
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 9: hear the voice of God audibly now, But he also

1575
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 9: speaks in the form of thoughts. So there are these

1576
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:45,760
Speaker 9: distinctive thoughts or series of thoughts that you would really

1577
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 9: like hear in your head. And it has nothing to

1578
01:13:48,400 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 9: do with how you would naturally think, how you will naturally, like,

1579
01:13:51,360 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 9: you know, think about a matter. The same way that

1580
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:56,040
Speaker 9: anxiety has a voice. You know, pain has a voice.

1581
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 9: The Lord also speaks to you through your thoughts, and

1582
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:01,280
Speaker 9: then they're seers and that's where dreams.

1583
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 6: Come in, you know what.

1584
01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 3: For me, it's I remember when my my wife's father

1585
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:07,479
Speaker 3: passed away, right, and it was the weirdest thing. We

1586
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 3: had balloons downstairs and it was her birthday and my wife,

1587
01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:12,640
Speaker 3: out of nowhere, just started thinking about her dad. And

1588
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:14,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if this was whatever it was, but

1589
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 3: out of nowhere, like midnight one am, the balloons that

1590
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 3: were in the kitchen actually blew up the stairs and

1591
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 3: came into the bedroom.

1592
01:14:22,760 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 5: That helium balloons.

1593
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:26,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, were healing balloons, Yeah, of course they would rise.

1594
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 5: He was thinking up the stairs.

1595
01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 2: His experience with God.

1596
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:40,680
Speaker 3: But it could have went to any one of the

1597
01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 3: bedrooms in the house.

1598
01:14:41,720 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 5: It went right to the bed.

1599
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:48,880
Speaker 4: I believe I believe that was I believe that was it.

1600
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:50,680
Speaker 4: I believe that was the sign. I believe that was him,

1601
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:57,720
Speaker 4: I really do. I'm not doing this sound no, but

1602
01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 4: it was out out of my house. Those balloons could

1603
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 4: have went.

1604
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 3: And the fact that she was talking about her dad

1605
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 3: and crying over him several hours earlier, this made me

1606
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 3: feel like, damn, there are signs and there are angels.

1607
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 3: How do you you know, I guess, break down different dreams.

1608
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 3: What do the different dreams mean?

1609
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, So in the book I talk about just different

1610
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:18,840
Speaker 9: types of dreams, because the key thing, even before you

1611
01:15:18,960 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 9: get into that, is to know why we dream, right God,

1612
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 9: I mean? And their dreams can come from different places.

1613
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:26,920
Speaker 9: A dream can come from you, a dream can come

1614
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 9: from God. A dream can come from you know.

1615
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 2: The enemy. But when it comes from God.

1616
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 9: God has a desire to has a desire to speak

1617
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 9: to us more than we even desire to hear from him.

1618
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:40,679
Speaker 9: Because regardless of where we find ourselves in life, regardless

1619
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 9: of how successful we perceive ourselves to be, regardless of

1620
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 9: all the things we have going on, we are first

1621
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 9: His creation, and there's something there. Your life is not random.

1622
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:53,720
Speaker 9: He desires to do life with you. He desires to.

1623
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 2: Partner with you.

1624
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 9: And so there are types of dreams like especially when

1625
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 9: people see there, you know, loved ones who have passed on,

1626
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:02,800
Speaker 9: Those could be an encouragement dreams. Now, how the dream

1627
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 9: is presented matters because when someone passes away, they lose

1628
01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:09,360
Speaker 9: consciousness of the physical realm. But that does not mean

1629
01:16:09,479 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 9: that who they are, their essence is gone. Right, They're

1630
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,560
Speaker 9: transitioning to a different life, you know, whether that's with

1631
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 9: the Lord or you know, the opposite. Nobody wants that,

1632
01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 9: but they're transitioning now to like an eternal life.

1633
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 2: You know, in the spiritual realm.

1634
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 9: They're not fully just gone. You know who they are,

1635
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 9: the core of who they are, that their spirit man

1636
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 9: is still with him.

1637
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 3: We have more with Pastor Stephanie Okafour when we come back.

1638
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:37,040
Speaker 3: It's the Breakfast Club Good Morning more than everybody's DJ Envy, Jess, Hilarrys, Charlamagne,

1639
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:38,800

Speaker 3: Rosa feeling in for Jess and we're still kicking with

1641
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:45,559
Speaker 3: Pastor Stephanie okafor talk about you. If you feel comfortable

1642
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:47,720
Speaker 3: about the time you went to the doctor and God

1643
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 3: told you something different than what your doctor told you.

1644
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 2: Oh that happened to me.

1645
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 16: You know.

1646
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 2: So when I was pregnant. I have a daughter.

1647
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 9: When I was pregnant with my daughter, I started experiencing

1648
01:16:58,320 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 9: like a lot of pain.

1649
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 12: You know.

1650
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 9: We go to the are obg y n rather and

1651
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:06,600
Speaker 9: he's like trying to you know, even confirm the pregnancy.

1652
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 9: And he's like, man, I don't see a pregnancy here.

1653
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 9: I just see some things that does not look good,

1654
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 9: Like you need to go to the er.

1655
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 2: So we rush to the er.

1656
01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 9: They tell me that I have like these fibroids that

1657
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:19,200
Speaker 9: have gone, you know, gotten really big because of the

1658
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,759
Speaker 9: pregnancy and the blood flow going like to the womb.

1659
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 9: So they you know, we share the results of the

1660
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 9: doctor and he literally calls me. He was like, because

1661
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 9: of the size of these fibroids, because of the location

1662
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:32,720
Speaker 9: of these fibroids, you need to terminate the pregnancy and

1663
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:36,760
Speaker 9: you need to terminate this because he was from his analysis,

1664
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:40,479
Speaker 9: the baby won't have room to grow and the firebords

1665
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:43,320
Speaker 9: could cause and even if you know, we take the

1666
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:46,560
Speaker 9: baby to term, the bleeding is going to be too excessive.

1667
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:48,720
Speaker 9: And he called back to back, he was like, I'm

1668
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 9: telling you you need to terminate this and try again.

1669
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:52,880
Speaker 2: Let terminate it.

1670
01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 9: Let's take the fibroids out and try again. And so

1671
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:58,920
Speaker 9: I remember like I'm stealing a lot of pain, and

1672
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:01,400
Speaker 9: I just like I'm praying and calling out to God.

1673
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:03,679
Speaker 9: And that night I have a dream and the Lord

1674
01:18:03,800 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 9: comes to me and says, do a two key things.

1675
01:18:06,080 --> 01:18:08,040
Speaker 9: He says, no harm is going to come to your child,

1676
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:11,120
Speaker 9: and he hands me a Bible. And when I woke up,

1677
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:14,719
Speaker 9: I knew that the Bible was represented stand on my word.

1678
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 9: So then I started opening scriptures that spoke about healing,

1679
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 9: and I'm like, okay, God, no harm will come to her,

1680
01:18:20,479 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 9: and this is what your word says about healing. And

1681
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:25,360
Speaker 9: so I got another obgyn because I'm like, God has

1682
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 9: shown me like no harm is going to come to

1683
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 9: this child. And the other obgyn she was like, you know,

1684
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 9: I'm going to be optimistic, but I'm going to tell

1685
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 9: you there is a scare and a concern. So we

1686
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 9: need to get a specialist doctor, you know, involved, and

1687
01:18:38,200 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 9: we need to watch this carefully. All of a sudden,

1688
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:44,960
Speaker 9: everything that was a concern started being reversed. So initially

1689
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 9: they're like, we don't know if that you're going to

1690
01:18:46,400 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 9: have room for this baby to grow. The doctor is like, oh,

1691
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 9: you got room for two, you know. But the keithing

1692
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 9: is getting that word from God. And I believe that's

1693
01:18:54,960 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 9: why in the business of our lives, God still finds

1694
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 9: that place when we're sleeping to speak to us and

1695
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 9: show us, like, I know, everything in your world is

1696
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 9: telling you this is not going to work, but I'm

1697
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:05,760
Speaker 9: showing you that.

1698
01:19:05,800 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 3: I'm with you.

1699
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 4: You talk about it in the book about how the

1700
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:12,080
Speaker 4: Bible and science talk about the benefits of getting what

1701
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:14,080
Speaker 4: I never heard that from the Bible.

1702
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, because Biblically, you know, we are body, soul, and spirit.

1703
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 9: And I think so many times, even in like Christianity,

1704
01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:23,640
Speaker 9: we only focus on like, you know, the things we

1705
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 9: got to do, like the spirit realm, the soul realm.

1706
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:29,560
Speaker 9: But there is like your body, and in order for it,

1707
01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 9: you have to be a good steward over your body.

1708
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:32,640
Speaker 2: You know, you have to.

1709
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 9: There are things that even as believers, it's just as

1710
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 9: important and eat eating well just as important as working out,

1711
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 9: because the body is the vehicles the thing that carries

1712
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:42,679
Speaker 9: your spirit.

1713
01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 2: There's a thing that embodies your soul.

1714
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:47,920
Speaker 9: So if your body is not healthy, that's not good stewardship,

1715
01:19:48,439 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 9: you know, so when you're able to get proper rest,

1716
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:54,759
Speaker 9: and it's there's such a connection between you know, science

1717
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:59,280
Speaker 9: and even you know, our spirituality because from a scientific standpoint,

1718
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 9: when you don't have enough rest, you have brainfall. That

1719
01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:05,559
Speaker 9: affects your ability to even remember your dreams because when

1720
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 9: you wake up and you come out of this place

1721
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:09,680
Speaker 9: where you had an encounter or X, Y and Z,

1722
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:13,560
Speaker 9: your body needs to be healthy enough to process what

1723
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 9: was just deposited. And so if you're not getting enough rest,

1724
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:19,439
Speaker 9: it's very similar to you know, a computer, like if

1725
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:23,240
Speaker 9: you only allow your computer to die every single time,

1726
01:20:23,560 --> 01:20:25,599
Speaker 9: it causes memory loss over time.

1727
01:20:25,960 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 2: Same thing.

1728
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:28,680
Speaker 9: If you only go to bed when you feel like

1729
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:33,040
Speaker 9: shut down, like your ex completely exhausted and you just crash,

1730
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 9: it's harder for you to remember your dreams because that

1731
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 9: also affects memory loss, you know, when you're waking up

1732
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:42,400
Speaker 9: from those moments. And so being a good steward is

1733
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:45,760
Speaker 9: looking at every part. Even the Bible talks about you prospering,

1734
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:48,960
Speaker 9: you know, in all things right, not just in your spirit,

1735
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 9: but in your soul, in your body. So there's a

1736
01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 9: scripture that talks about bring your whole body, your whole soul,

1737
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 9: and your whole spirit blameless before God. So he's after

1738
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 9: everything that be a good Do it because it all

1739
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:04,000
Speaker 9: connects this like the conversation with you about dreams in

1740
01:21:04,040 --> 01:21:07,240
Speaker 9: the in the book feels like how people go and

1741
01:21:07,320 --> 01:21:09,840
Speaker 9: get like he read my palm and but it's I

1742
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 9: know it's different. And growing up in a church, my grandma,

1743
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:13,560
Speaker 9: she don't play that we're not allowed to do that

1744
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 9: type of stuff. But then pastors will prophesy to you.

1745
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 9: What is why can we do one thing but not

1746
01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:19,160
Speaker 9: the other?

1747
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:20,479
Speaker 2: That's a great question.

1748
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,280
Speaker 9: So when you look at the spiritual realm, just like

1749
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:26,679
Speaker 9: in life, right, there's good, there's evil. The spiritual realm

1750
01:21:26,760 --> 01:21:29,519
Speaker 9: there's good, there's evil. So it's just like if you're praying,

1751
01:21:29,720 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 9: Let's say you're praying for envy, right, and you're like, God,

1752
01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:33,800
Speaker 9: what are your thoughts about envy?

1753
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:35,880
Speaker 2: And then the Holy Spirit might start showing you things

1754
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 2: about him.

1755
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 6: It's rock.

1756
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:44,639
Speaker 2: Envy that is, get it together.

1757
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:47,760
Speaker 5: Just what I pray? What God?

1758
01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 3: Like when somebody's being evil or they joking, like pray

1759
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 3: for her eyelashes, right, and it's to the point where

1760
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,720
Speaker 3: it's like just joke too.

1761
01:22:00,800 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 5: Much.

1762
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,800
Speaker 3: There's no baby want me to continue on none of that.

1763
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,960
Speaker 9: But the beauty is it's coming from God, right, and

1764
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,680
Speaker 9: what comes from Him is for your good. This is

1765
01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:15,800
Speaker 9: and first of all, it is the source that you

1766
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:18,720
Speaker 9: can trust, right because it's the source that created you.

1767
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:20,560
Speaker 2: It's a source that knows your life. It is a

1768
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:21,640
Speaker 2: source that is for you.

1769
01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:24,559
Speaker 9: When you go to someone reading your palms, a terror

1770
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:27,959
Speaker 9: cart reader, a psychic, the source is demonic.

1771
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 5: Question.

1772
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:31,799
Speaker 3: You know, when people do pray, some of the prayers frivolous,

1773
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 3: like for instance, like if somebody praise for their team, right,

1774
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 3: not pray to be healthy or to be safe during

1775
01:22:37,240 --> 01:22:40,639
Speaker 3: your game, or pray your team wins. Or Lauren prays

1776
01:22:40,720 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 3: for a man or Charlomagne praise to be a little

1777
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 3: taller and I pray for that. Like how do those

1778
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 3: type of prayers work when it comes to it's one

1779
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 3: of those things where write it off or is it

1780
01:22:50,040 --> 01:22:52,160
Speaker 3: one of those things to honestly to pray for things

1781
01:22:52,200 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 3: that like I prayed that the Giants win next week?

1782
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:55,800
Speaker 5: Is real prayer or is it?

1783
01:22:56,080 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 1: No?

1784
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 9: I think wherever God is so kind doesn't mean that

1785
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 9: just because because you're like da, I pray the giants

1786
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 9: win and guys, I all get the giants going to win.

1787
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 9: But as you grow in God, you start to understand that.

1788
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 9: You know, the power of prayer is when you pray

1789
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 9: in alignment.

1790
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 7: With His will.

1791
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:12,720
Speaker 9: But you have to first know his will, so that

1792
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 9: takes maturity, right. But when you're still in that, like

1793
01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:19,639
Speaker 9: you know, stage of being like a baby, you're random

1794
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 9: things you could ask and sometimes he will do some

1795
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 9: random things just to show you he hears.

1796
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 6: You and he loves you.

1797
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:25,840
Speaker 5: How can they follow you?

Speaker 2: Why why you sleep?

1807
01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 5: All?

1808
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 6: Right?

1809
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:50,679
Speaker 3: Well, before we get about of here, let's let's close

1810
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 3: on a prayer.

1811
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:54,240
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, yes, Heavenly Father, we thank you for just

1812
01:23:54,320 --> 01:23:56,760
Speaker 9: everything you've done in this moment. Lord God, we thank

1813
01:23:56,840 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 9: you even in talking about this book, because it's really

1814
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 9: not about just getting a book out. But it's really

1815
01:24:03,000 --> 01:24:05,600
Speaker 9: about getting people to be awakened to knowing that you

1816
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,639
Speaker 9: speak and you desire to speak to them, whether they're

1817
01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 9: awake or whether they're asleep. But even the power of

1818
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,880
Speaker 9: their dreams. Many people are ignoring their dreams in this

1819
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:16,599
Speaker 9: time and they are a world. You're trying to alert

1820
01:24:16,680 --> 01:24:19,560
Speaker 9: them about their warnings. You want to make them aware.

1821
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 2: Of their ways. You want to prepare them. There are

1822
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 2: ways you want to encourage them.

1823
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:25,080
Speaker 9: And to Lord that just pray that you will continue

1824
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:27,680
Speaker 9: to be glorified in and through everything that we do.

1825
01:24:27,880 --> 01:24:30,160
Speaker 2: We love you, Lord, We thank you and Jesus name.

1826
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:30,719
Speaker 6: Amen.

1827
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,400
Speaker 3: Amen, Well, thank you very much, thank you.

Speaker 5: Yes, come on, it's good, thank you.
