And you know, not saying that you 64 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,120 Speaker 1: change your degree, but I always like to see people 65 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 1: who allow themselves to expand allow themselves to say, not 66 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: be pigeonholed. And I looked at your degree in social work, 67 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: you know, public health, uh, chemistry. That diversity really allows 68 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: you to communicate a lot of different levels and to 69 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: be able to walk into the room and be very 70 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: comfortable when you speak. God this correct, that is correct. 71 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: And I tell you I was really um. I was 72 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 1: just that obedient child. And you know when my dad 73 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: said that needs to go to text or stuffing and 74 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: major and chemistry, and that's what I did. And I 75 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: did that and I enjoyed that until I had an 76 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: opportunity to work with the Department of Energy one summer 77 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: for an internship or summer internship, and we were doing 78 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: auto clays, you know, it was Colic profession research and 79 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: we were working with auto Clays, and I was just 80 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: in the process and I was like saying to myself, 81 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 1: I just can't imagine working in a lab like this, 82 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, for the rest of my life. I want 83 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: to have healthy babies. I'm not sure this is really 84 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: a good fit for me. But I was always that 85 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: obedient child. I said, you know, I've come too far 86 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,679 Speaker 1: not to go on a spenders you get the degree 87 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: for I went on and I got the degree, and 88 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: I went into UM the master's program here in the 89 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 1: Health Frankston in in Houston at the University of Texas. 90 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: And when I saw that they were having initially in 91 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: toxicology that when I saw they were having so much 92 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: fun and and family and community health, I was like, 93 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: you know what, Sean, that's where I need to be 94 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: because I just spent my personality. I always spend a compelled, smiting, 95 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: empathetic type of person And so that's when I started 96 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: navigating myself towards in a direction that I was really 97 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: comfortable with. And so from there UM I just kind 98 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 1: of blocked them and and had the opportunity to go 99 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 1: on and get my doctors and social work, which was 100 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: which ex phenomenal, and from it and now I am 101 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 1: just doing what I chose and to do, and and 102 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: I just I think it's a great, incredible journey. And 103 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 1: I would encourage people, you know what, no matter what 104 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: you're doing, it's not what you really want to do, 105 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: you can always navigate yourself and move towards the directions 106 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: that most makes you laugh. You doctor, doctor, Um, don't 107 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: give your credit now, don't we just laying out? It 108 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: gives a lot of docs out there? There aren't doctors, 109 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: you know, So I'm just gonna say the whole word doctor. 110 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: How do I just want to navigate that? How does 111 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: want to make a decision to create change in their life, 112 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: especially when they just sit around based on fear, because 113 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: that's why people don't make change, they're afraid. How does 114 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: want to navigate that change? Well, you know, the first 115 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,679 Speaker 1: thing they have to do in that process. And I've 116 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: been refer to it as understanding the journey that we're 117 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: actually on. And that's how the in the spirit part 118 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 1: comes into play with um, what I do and what 119 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,840 Speaker 1: I focus on and help, you know, God people into 120 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,840 Speaker 1: that direction in terms of navigation. And I think that 121 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: people understand that they have the power us who we 122 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: could choose the mission that they want to have in 123 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 1: this life. Then the first step is the first identify 124 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: and understand that you have that power. I think a 125 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: lot of times people feel powerless in this process. So 126 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: you have to kind of break it down and I 127 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: always say you try to have to deconstruct to reconstruct 128 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: your life. And when you know with themselves that you 129 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: know you are just not content with what the outcome 130 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,359 Speaker 1: is and and on the direction that things are going, 131 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: that's the first step is to identify that you know 132 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: that within something. Then you have to figure out what 133 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: it is you want to do. You know, what is 134 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: the mission that you want to be on, and develop 135 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: an action plan to achieve that, to to get on 136 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: the right track, to to live the life of your dreams, 137 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: and to do the things that you want. Let's Michelle, 138 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: let me give you an example of what it is 139 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: that I do so so wizards can understand how this 140 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: process works. And this is a good analogy. Let's say 141 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: you're drinking a cup of coffee and somebody bumped into 142 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: you and you still the coffee. Okay, you still the coffee. 143 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 1: You know why you fill the coffee because coffee is 144 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 1: what was in the cup, it seem within the cup, 145 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: you wouldn't still the tea. And so the analogy that 146 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: I'm making is is what's inside of you when you 147 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: get bumped in, like when you are unsure, and like 148 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: when things are happening to you, what's inside of you, 149 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: It's what comes up. And so as an industry a 150 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 1: life coach, and when I focus on the foods of 151 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: the spirit, when I focus on instructening that inside of 152 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,239 Speaker 1: a person, that's how they get out of their fear 153 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: and they're able to make the tangible step to do 154 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: what you're talking about. Because what comes what's inside of 155 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: you is what comes out. So if there's inside of 156 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: you that comes out of angers inside it, when light functions, 157 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: when things happen, that's what comes out. Its rage and 158 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: it jealousy of resentment. But if I can get people 159 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: to strengthen the other things that should be inside of 160 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: their court, which is love through a peace, patience, kindness, business, slothfulness, 161 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 1: the most important self control, then they have the ability 162 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: to do what you're saying, to turn it around. And 163 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: that's and that's kind of what I focused on. Well, 164 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: you have to keep focusing on that because of the 165 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: fact that you know, when you have people, I'll just 166 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: tell you I'm an example of an individual. Well, people 167 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 1: look at my resume, they see success. I'm always always 168 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: tell people I'm constantly pushing myself. I constantly get up 169 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: with a plan. You just can't assume that success is 170 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: gonna come away, and you can't assume that the plan 171 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 1: you're having, you're in place, it's gonna happen. And that's 172 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: where so many people fail. They just assume and they 173 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: get frustrated when they put things in motion, like they say, 174 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna open a business, they expect people just gonna 175 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: show up, and by their merchandise marketing, they get frustrated 176 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: by that process. When could I just stopped marketing when 177 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna show up. I got the best I got 178 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: the best apple turnover in the world. Why aren't people 179 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: by I got the best barbecue in the world. It's 180 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: that frustration and that planning, and that's why I wanted 181 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 1: to bring it on the show, just to talk about that. 182 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna go in more details in the next break. 183 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 1: But I'm on the phone with She's you know, she's 184 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: a graduatd My School University Houston UM.

I'm from fifth War. You know, she grew 187 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: up in their third Ward area and he told her 188 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: to go to school. The one day she welcome and says, 189 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do something different. We're gonna be back with 190 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 1: more money make conversation. Ra Sean McDonald talking to Dr 191 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: Melanie Wilson. Hi, just Rashan McDonald. You're listening to money 192 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 1: making conversations on the phone. Is Dr Melanie Wilson Lawson UM. 193 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: She's UM an incredible person, eclectic because she has a 194 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: a PhD and social work from the University Houston, UM 195 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: public health from University of Texas Health Science Center, School 196 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: of Public Health. And UH her dad she had a degree. 197 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: Her dad to go to Texas Southern get this degree. 198 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: And then she realized that she didn't want to sit 199 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: in the lab. And I think that's the point of 200 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: this conversation. There's so many people sitting in that lab 201 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: right now. Dr Lawson. I want to leave that lab 202 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 1: and afraid to leave that lab, afraid to walk away 203 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: from that teller job, afraid to stop driving that car, 204 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: afraid to make it that to make the decision that 205 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 1: they fear will be disrupted, but they're already already living 206 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: the life. They're not happy with that change. That change 207 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: is important. That's like, how can you plans meant words 208 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: into being and doing you know, don't talk about it, 209 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: be about it. How do you make that transition? And 210 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: then I would argue that opportunities like this, listening to 211 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: shows like this, when you hear people share their stories, 212 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: that helps to provide a type of blueprint, you know, 213 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: where people can follow it. And if they follow the 214 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: blue blueprint, you know, you don't have to read with 215 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: them to reel with a lot of this stuff. Just 216 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: look at out the people situations in their circumstances and 217 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: sharing people's stories. That's so beneficial because you can learn 218 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: from it. You can learn what to do, what not 219 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: to do, and seven how to do it. Talk about 220 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: the ABC s. There your ABC. Your version of ABC's okay, 221 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: so well a B C D no, no, no, your 222 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,599 Speaker 1: version of ABC. But my first for ABC S, you know, 223 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,679 Speaker 1: it's Doc Sail. I try to focus on a B 224 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,559 Speaker 1: and anteceeding be being the behavior and see being the 225 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: time of senses related to the psycho social dynamics of people. 226 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,440 Speaker 1: And so when you look at a person, you've got 227 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: to consider the A d C and the antecedent are 228 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: the things that lead or that lead to the behaviors 229 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 1: that people engage in. So, because some people were sean, 230 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: it could be traumas that they may have experienced in 231 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: their lives early on. Um, some of the things that 232 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: they may have witness um may have heard in their childhood. 233 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: You know, when you speak to children, it can resonate deeply. 234 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: You know, when you tell a child that they're gonna 235 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: be nothing, or that they're lazy, or that they're stupid, 236 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 1: or you say these things that that can resonate into 237 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: a person and as they grow up start to see 238 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: behaviors manners us based on what they think are done 239 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:59,559 Speaker 1: for and so that introcedent, those are the things that 240 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: lead to the behaviors. And so when you're looking at 241 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,439 Speaker 1: people that are engaged in a lot of mal adaptive 242 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: type of phases, then there's something going on with their 243 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: feelings and that in their emotions about themselves. How a 244 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: person feels about themselves matters, because they they don't feel 245 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: good about themselves, then that can be distrusted and we 246 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 1: can see it in destructive behaviors. And so the behaviors 247 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: that people engage in are related to the choices that 248 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: they make. From those choices, people are going in consequences. 249 00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: And so if you don't like where you are in life, 250 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: if you don't like the consequences that you that you're 251 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 1: seeing now in life, and you just got to make 252 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: better choices, you know, you've got to address the behaviors 253 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: that are causing those kinds of consequences. And I help 254 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 1: people walk through the process. I helped them peel back 255 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 1: the layers which on because that they can begin the 256 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: healing process. I like you know, I like you because 257 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: when you say my name is like you like grabbing 258 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 1: my own like an adult. You know, like you know 259 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: you're talking to the young person. You you brace them. 260 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: Every time you say my name, You're bracing me. Rashan, 261 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: You're like you touching, you know, touching me on the show. Rashan, 262 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: calm down. It's like there your doctor.

It makes me just I know, you do. 266 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: I know I'm feeling every time, she says, it's so well, Rashan, Listen, 267 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: you know that sometimes you've gotta let th be before 268 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: you can let things go. And that means you've gotta 269 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: truly feel what you're doing and what you're going through. 270 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,440 Speaker 1: How many kind of people tell people, you know, you 271 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: just need to let that go. You don't need to 272 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: let it go, but sometimes you gotta let it flow first. 273 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: You gotta go through the plain, you gotta go through 274 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 1: the anguish. That's what you'd bequest to do that the 275 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: body is requis to go through the very emotion. It 276 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: really is true, because you can't protect your child. You know, 277 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: your child is gonna have that bad relationship. Your child's 278 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: gonna have circumstances and you wish they didn't. You wish 279 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: they didn't have the emotional stress that your life. But 280 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,640 Speaker 1: guess what that shapes them. They shapes them. They prepared 281 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: to because otherwise they fall into that mistake. And I'd 282 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: rather for you to make a small mistake than a 283 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: big mistake. And that's and that's what happens in life, 284 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 1: is that you cannot protect anybody's the point that they 285 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: can't experience life. You gotta allow them experience life, but 286 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: while they're experience in life is that's that's the part 287 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: that you know. I really have enjoying this conversation because 288 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: you know, it's what you your social scientists and your 289 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 1: inner spirit life coach, which I think is really important 290 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: to hear on this show because people want to make change. 291 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: That's why I love the fact that that that millennial 292 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: generation decided to say, you know something, I don't want 293 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 1: to work for anybody. I want to work for me. 294 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: And they get ridiculed because said that I was listening 295 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 1: to a show driving in this morning was really cueing, Um, 296 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 1: you know, millennials, because they don't save. I was trying 297 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: to figure out, Okay, when I was twenty eight, what 298 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: was I saving? When I was thirty four, what was 299 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 1: I saving? I'm trying to figure out when when did 300 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: the rules? When did the rules that that that that 301 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: that eighteen to thirty or four age group, and each 302 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: each generation was saving money, they were that they were 303 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 1: that worthy to stay. You know something, I'm gonna save 304 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: for my future. You know something, when you're that age, 305 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: there is no future. The future is now. Why can 306 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: I get my car? Where can I get my house? 307 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 1: Where can I give me some new shoes. And so 308 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: when I hear people criticize millennials, I'm going like, Okay, 309 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: are you kiding me? Are you kidding me? At twenty 310 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: nine years old, who do you know was saving money? 311 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: Who was thinking about that the stock market at twenty 312 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: nine years of age on a regular job, you know, 313 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: if your your company was like I worked at IBM 314 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 1: and they they had that little sharing program. You you 315 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 1: pay a dollar, they pay a dollar, you know, and 316 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: that that helped me out, that got me into that 317 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: into the stock game. But again that was my company 318 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: had that program at that time. And I'm not saying 319 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,160 Speaker 1: that in program exists today because people hold you accountable 320 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: everything you said in public. Sean said this, hey way 321 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: back then, way back then when I was working. Now, 322 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: they might not do that right now, So don't hold 323 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: me account But I'm just letting you know is that 324 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: when I look at people criticized, there's so many people 325 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 1: want to criticize people when they want to be themselves, 326 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 1: when they want to make decisions for themselves that benefit them, 327 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: that they get criticized for that. And I just feel 328 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 1: that that generation is being pressurized, especially with social media. 329 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: You post the picture, you like you don't like share, 330 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 1: you know, I remember I did.
