00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: My dad's a marine, So I moved around a bunch.

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: Um actually lived in Marietta for a while. Um, But

26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: first dream wanted to be a basketball player, So I

27
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: played basketball in college. My mom is a nurse. You

28
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: introduced me to medicine really early, and Um, I decided

29
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: to want to be a doc and I started going

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: on that journey. Man, it took me a while. Um,

31
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: but yeah, I'm practicing physician now. During the Air Force

32
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: got the fly jets, I've been able to do some

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: cool stuff. So so stuff I can't do. The doctor

34
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: that's you know, believe me. You know that's something I

35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: could That's a that's a skill that I cannot do.

36
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: And flying airplanes, yeah, I cannot man flight simulated. I

37
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: crashed every time. So it's you know, it's it's it's

38
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Um, you know, I had to

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: do it. Yeah, I had had a great time as

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: a flight surgeon. A lot of people don't know what

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: flight surgeons do. Uh, it's basically the doctor that flew

42
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: in the back with the pilots in the back of

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: the jet just make sure that they uh physically could

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: do their jobs. So I was the provider that could

45
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: say when it was a go or no go, when

46
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: a pilot could go or they couldn't go. And so

47
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: in order to make that decision, I needed to be

48
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: able to fly. And what do you think of your life?

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 1: When you look at your life, you look in the mirror.

50
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: Because I do that to myself. I always self estimate myself,

51
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: you know, because I think that's important. A lot of

52
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: people don't do that. Sometimes when I leave my home

53
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: in the morning, I just walk out into the yard,

54
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: you know, and I just grab a few moments for

55
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: myself to understand where I'm at. How do you how

56
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: do you do that in your life? You know? Before

57
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 1: we start getting into breaking down story, I just feel

58
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: I feel grateful. Um. I think my my life, my

59
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: life story is one of persistence, which is why I

60
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: push a lot that in my messaging. UM. But just

61
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: believing in the vision that I have for myself and

62
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: and really not taking no for an answer, and sometimes

63
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 1: being years of of nose. So just thankful for the

64
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: opportunity of the platforms that I have now and understanding

65
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: the importance of encouraging other people along the way, because

66
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: people get discouraged, stuff doesn't go the way it needs

67
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: to go. But just just gratitude is probably how I

68
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: see overall my life. The Air Force. The Air Force, um,

69
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. So um. My dad was marine,

70
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: so um, we didn't really come from a lot. And

71
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 1: so I saw the distinctive difference between my father and

72
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: everyone else in my family, and to me that the

73
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: answer was the military. So the way he dressed, the

74
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: way he spoke, the way he carried himself, UM, I

75
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: knew it was a distinct difference. He he had an

76
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: edge and I wanted it. Um and so um. When

77
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: when it was time for me to go to medical school,

78
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: I got accepted to medical school, and uh I had

79
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: director University in Philadelphia. Um, and uh I had my

80
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: I had my daughter on the way, and I tried

81
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: to figure out, how can I keep going after my

82
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: dream being a full time student going to medical school

83
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: and still take care of my daughter and provide for her.

84
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: And so I applied for a scholarship with the with

85
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: the Air Force Health Professional Scholarship Program, and I got

86
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: a scholarship that pay for my school, gave me a tuition,

87
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: UM pay for my tuition, gave me a stipend while

88
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: I was in school, and and uh yeah, I was

89
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: able to do it. So so military has been good

90
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: to you. And absolutely absolutely so. If a young man

91
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: was listening to a young female was listening, or a

92
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: person not even young and wanted to was sitting that

93
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: there trying to find out a place in the life,

94
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: what advice would you give them. Yeah, it's an amazing question.

95
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: I would say, it just depends on where you're coming from. Um.

96
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: And so I like to I like to explain the

97
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: military as as a as a as a hand up.

98
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: So it it's the ability. It gives you the opportunity

99
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: to do things that for me, I didn't travel, I

100
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: never I never left the country. I didn't have a

101
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: passport growing up, like I stay where I lived, and

102
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: so the military offered me opportunity. So like the word

103
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: I would explain to people is you have to understand opportunity.

104
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: If somebody gives you an opportunity training, they pay for

105
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: medical school, they play for for business, school. UH gave

106
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: me opportunity to to to fly jet something that I

107
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: never would do. So for me, it was opportunity. Now

108
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 1: they're sacrifice that came with that. I deployed five times.

109
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: But it depends on where you're coming from. If you're

110
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: looking for opportunity, you're looking to go up, it's it's

111
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: a it's a feasible option for some folks. You know,

112
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: it's really interesting. I'm fortunately because I oversee the marketing

113
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: for their National Guard and all fit the States and

114
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: three territories and Washington, d C. And it's of all

115
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: the things I've done in my life, is the most

116
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: um proud moment because I feel for the first time

117
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: I've been successful entertainment as an entrepreneur. But actually I'm

118
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: doing something for the country. I'm protecting not only my

119
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: family but people I don't know. And I'm protecting the

120
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: country with my skill set, and that is to get

121
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: the best available recruits to join the our National Guard

122
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: or retain them into their National Guard. What I you know,

123
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 1: like this past weekend, UM, the national football leave made

124
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: a big deal. You get a lot of returning veterans

125
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: UH surprising their family members. So when you when you

126
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: see that, where do you stand emotionally and all of that. Um,

127
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 1: it's it's uh services service. So you know, one of

128
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: the core values there forces service before self and so

129
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: understanding that there's a rank and file structure, UM, and

130
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: you're you are there to serve. You have a commanding officer,

131
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: there's there's some service for you to do, and being

132
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: able to put your own personal needs or cares on

133
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: the back burning is just ingrained in what you do. UM.

134
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: And so when I see things like that, it just

135
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: makes me. I don't know, it's it's it's it's an

136
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: emotional time because you leave your family, you're gone for

137
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: a long time, you go into harm's way. People as

138
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: people all scared and texting you you okay you know,

139
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, I'm cool. UM. So it's it's

140
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: a it's a it's a it's a roller coaster. I mean,

141
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: you're excited when you're there because you're trained, you know

142
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: what you're doing. UM. But but yeah, it's say you

143
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: leave your family and it's it's emotional. I know you

144
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: say that. My younger, my youngest brother, he was in

145
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: iracky and then when it was dropping the you know,

146
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: the parts and bombs, and so I was worried, you know,

147
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: and so and the communication was none so so it

148
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: really you know that that that moment in my life

149
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: with him is always stuck with me, you know, and

150
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: I always respect and and but but the thing about

151
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say you guys, because it's such a natural

152
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: part of your life that you don't realize sometimes with

153
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: the power of love and respect that you have from

154
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: everyday people, you know, it's it's amazing. So I wanted

155
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: to definitely get that out about that because because I

156
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: think that, uh, because this is not the first time,

157
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 1: by the last time we're gonna talk. Because that's what

158
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, you know, because of the fact that

159
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, I'm fortunate on my show that I can

160
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: pick and choose who I want on my show. It's

161
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: gotten to that point now and I'm trying to put

162
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: people in in the lanes of influencing that the people

163
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: can get something from that. And this is the value

164
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: system that you have gained in your life because you

165
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: said earlier, Hey, you know, I really didn't come from much.

166
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: If dad was in the marine, my mom was a nurse.

167
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: But man, you're a doctor and you few jets. Where

168
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: did that lead come? My man? You know, you know, yeah, um,

169
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: it's funny. You know. I always tell people, as long

170
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 1: as you have a vision and you're going after it,

171
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: you can't go wrong. And so for me, my vision

172
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: coming after medical coming out of medical school, was that

173
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a surgeon. So I went into

174
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: the surgery training program and after a year I realized

175
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: that it wasn't for me. And so I went all

176
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: this way, I'm pursuing my dream and I'm going after it.

177
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know, surgery is not not it.

178
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: I love operating, but the lifestyle wasn't one for me.

179
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: And so I went to my commander. I said, hey,

180
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do this right, and he's like, well,

181
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: here's some of your options. And they came to recruit

182
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: for fly surgeons and they were like, hey, we're gonna

183
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: teach you how to fly jets. I was like, okay,

184
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm so I don't need to hear anything else. That's

185
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: got stop you teaching me how to fly jets. I've

186
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 1: I've I've looked at these dolls buttons, like fifteen buttons

187
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, warning you know, the danger were Wobinson what's

188
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: going on here? Yeah? Yeah, tash saturation. Yeah yeah, you

189
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: just trivializing it, you know, like well, you know, just

190
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 1: tast separation. I was a doctor. I didn't feel like

191
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: watching the blood. So now I'm over a flight surgeon,

192
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: didn't go have a flying jets. I'm a decorated veteran. Yeah,

193
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: ground ground school was awesome. I I think for me

194
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: it was it was something exciting. Um, but I was

195
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: always impressed with pilots. I was just always impressed with

196
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: their ability to handle themselves and in those situations right

197
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: at high speeds and so, um, I just wanted it.

198
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: I wanted it. And then in your training, UM, it's

199
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 1: it's funny because some of the some of the like

200
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: emergency procedures that you have to learn in order to

201
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: in order to pass that you have to have a percent.

202
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: You can't miss anything. So there's steps on the checklist

203
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: you can't If you miss them, you're dead, right, So

204
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: I always say you can't park a playing on the cloudy.

205
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 1: So you know, just just that standard of training. Um,

206
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, I enjoyed it. It was it was it

207
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: was a blessing. It was an opportunity to do it,

208
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: and it was cool. Now we're gonna the next break,

209
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna come up. We're gonna talk about you being

210
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: an author, and we're gonna talk about your organizations Persist.

211
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,319
Speaker 1: But the number one thing that what do you when

212
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: you come on? When you come up? What was the

213
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 1: number one thing you want to get out about you

214
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: coming on this show? Um? I think service, service and humility,

215
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: I'd probably say, or the two screams that I would

216
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: pushing and I try to try to embody that everywhere

217
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: I go and um, And I think those are the

218
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: key things that have helped me along my way because

219
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: of the fact that and definitely TV in your future.

220
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,120

229
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 1: You're listening to your money making Conversation. I've been fortunate

230
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: to be able to build this brand through our heart

231
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: radio podcast see XM channel one forty one. I'm on

232
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,439
Speaker 1: all HBCU campuses Elizabeth City or College and I picked

233
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: up my show. Um. When I look at what I've

234
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: done in my life and what I'm trying to do

235
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: in my life right now, it's about marketing and branding

236
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: and it's about multiple screams of income. When I look

237
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: at a person like you, sir, Um, you are so

238
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: into giving back? Do you do? People tell you give

239
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: back too much and you should be a little bit

240
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: more selfish. Yeah, yeah, I get it a little bit. Yeah.

241
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: And what do you say to that? Um? For me,

242
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 1: I feel like I've I've been given gifts. God has

243
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: given me my gift for the world. UM, and so

244
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: I just I just encourage people to use their gifts

245
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 1: to enhance the world. So UM, just serving yourself, I

246
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: feel like is a is a downward spiral. But when

247
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: you're serving something that's higher than you, and you can

248
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: see the impact you have with just your work. Um,

249
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: you can go to sleep and rest and fulfilled. Um,

250
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: when when you're helping other people. And then then the

251
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: goal is Persist Foundation Institute. What is that so Persistence

252
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: it's it is my is my baby, So it's it's

253
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: it's my idea of wrapping up all the resources you

254
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: need to help a person persist in pursuing their dream.

255
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: So everybody has a vision, everybody has something that they

256
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: want to do, but at some point something has happened

257
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: to them where they said, oh, maybe this isn't for me,

258
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: Maybe I should go to the other way, Maybe I

259
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 1: should accept a compromise for my life and Persist Institute

260
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: push together. The product either be books, online courses, events, uh,

261
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: coaching where I come alongside people uh and I help

262
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: them keep pushing towards their dream. And so so I

263
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: just wanted to get engaged into that process. Easy hit

264
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 1: me up on the email by one of my books

265
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: and we can start from there. You can start from there.

266
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: So so when you I'm gonna give away one of

267
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: my books to everybody. So first of all, we're gonna

268
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: give away in my newsletter. Let's let's do it right.

269
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: So we're gonna autograph this and then we can put

270
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 1: a newsletter. We're gonna talk about this in the book.

271
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: We will talk about a little bit. But I gotta

272
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: bring you back after I've read the book because the

273
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: first time I got he personally brought it with me.

274
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: And so the thing about it is that, uh, tell

275
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: me about the book persists. Yeah, so persist how to

276
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,199
Speaker 1: beat the things that make us quit? Yeah. So as

277
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: I started doing research on persistence and resilience, UM, UH

278
00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: just kind of identified top ten reasons people usually say, uh,

279
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: they cite to why they aren't living their dream. And

280
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: so I just kind of go through the top ten

281
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: in the book. So some of the things are like fear, Um,

282
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'm scared. I don't I don't think I

283
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: could do it self. Doubt is another one. I'm not

284
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: good enough, not me. Uh, time, I don't have the time,

285
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: it's not the right time. Timing, Oh my time has passed. Um.

286
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: And you know talk about things like comfort. Some people

287
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 1: get in the comfort zone where they're comfortable. Um, I'm

288
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: living a good life him. I know I got this vision,

289
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: but man, you want me to go, I'll lead this

290
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: and step over here, and I think I need to

291
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: do this. So comfort sometimes it's something that holds people

292
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: back as well. So those are some of the things

293
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: I talked about now, the things about it. Some of

294
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: this stuff is so natural to me now because U

295
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: my degrees in mathematics and I left IBM to pursue

296
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: a career. Stand up immediately, people go oh crazy. And

297
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: so I know when I walked away and I started

298
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: managing Steve Harvey and two thousand as a successful sick

299
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: people people say, are you crazy. I remember when I

300
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: told Steve in two thousand and five we should walk

301
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: away from one of the largest UH contract deals in

302
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: the radio history to do syndicated radio. And I didn't

303
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: even have a contract. You crazy? And so these are

304
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 1: fear moments. These are moments with people. Sometimes you do it.

305
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: I always tell you gotta have a plan, But sometimes

306
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: your plan is just your desire to be successful. And

307
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: I've always had that undeniable desire to be successful. And

308
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: I always tell my staff all the time. I tell

309
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: them that I said something's gonna happen there there no

310
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: I said three months from now. This My life is

311
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: about the change. And I know that whether and and

312
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: and and it does happen, because I just know I could,

313
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: I could. I could even when I did radio with

314
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: Steve and UM, I always tell where the ratings were

315
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: up or down just by the sensibility because I I

316
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: stay in tune with the relationship of what is successful

317
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: and what is not successful. And so when you write

318
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: a book like this, persist, what is the biggest takeaway

319
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: you want somebody to take away from this book? The

320
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: biggest takeaway is that they're always gonna They're always is

321
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: gonna be an excuse to site to why you should

322
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: accept the compromise always every person. And and the difference

323
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: between people that live the life that they want people

324
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: that don't is that somehow they've ingrained in that certainty,

325
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: like you were saying, like something's gonna happen, They've ingrained

326
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: certainty in their life. They put routines in place where

327
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: they can have that certainty every day. And that's the

328
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: main take Here's the thing, ladies and gentlemen, there are

329
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: no UM. There are no guarantees and UM having units

330
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: short allows me to soap box it a little bit

331
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: because of the fact that UM, when I see people, UM,

332
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: I would tell people you know when I have I

333
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna die. I've accepted that the problem with

334
00:16:57,200 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: most people. They don't accept that they're gonna die, and

335
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: you have to understand it. So you become better planners

336
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: when you know there is a there's an end game,

337
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: and so except the end game, now what you don't do.

338
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna die, Tom are I think

339
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna die. I'm living like as old as somebody

340
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: in the Bible. That's my end game. But in the

341
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: process of doing that, you know, I have to plan

342
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: out things and see dreams that I want to do.

343
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: Not then average person, they don't see it that way.

344
00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: They fear death. They fear it. They so they run

345
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: from the number one thing that they can't control. You

346
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: can't control death. It's going to happen. And so that

347
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 1: allows me to plan things out differently than the average person.

348
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: And so I'm always trying to achieve next level of stuff.

349
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: I'm always trying to meet people. I'm always trying to

350
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: understand what my what God has given me, and God

351
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: has given everybody the same rope. It appears on how

352
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: much you want to pull in. And so when I

353
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: hit fifted, I was cool. When I had sicked it,

354
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm still cool because I'm thinking the same way that

355
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: I wasn't I was twenty. But the problem is that

356
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 1: people don't understand that in order to find out your

357
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: path of your future, you have to look to your

358
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: past because whatever you did in your twenties is what

359
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna be making money with and your for the

360
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: fifties and sixties. But see, if people are so far

361
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: looking in the future, what can I do? Just look

362
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: back because all the skill sets that you've developed, it's

363
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna allow you to move forward to accomplish the tax

364
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: of success. And that's what I'm taking away from this

365
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: book that I have not read. But the values that

366
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: you keep telling me about fear comfort zone. You know,

367
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: I don't know could I do that? What if I failed? Hey?

368
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: What if you do all your dad? You know your

369
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: dad became teach them. I would tell my staff I

370
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: make mistake. I tell my daughter all the time, I said,

371
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: your dad's not perfect, because so she won't get caught

372
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: up in that or you know, the resumes the accomplishment too.

373
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 1: Can I do that? Can I achieve what he's achieved?

374
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't expect you to do that because

375
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: your dad's not perfect, and so imperfection is what makes

376
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 1: you great? Perfection, it makes you makes you foolish if

377
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: you if you if that's what you're trying to cheek

378
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: all the time. And when you fail your trip, I

379
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: tell people shoot for perfection. If you miss greatness is cool.

380
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: I agree, And I think your your failures are actually

381
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: what make you, um, make you relatable. And when when

382
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 1: I go out and I talked to two kids at schools,

383
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm really passionate and encouraging children when I go out

384
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: and I talked to them. The first slide I put

385
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: up there, I list all my failures. It took me

386
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: five years to get into medical school. Five years, and

387
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: so I applied over five hundred times to medical school.

388
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: And so UM when I tell students after like, oh

389
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: my gosh, I tried for one year and it didn't work. Um,

390
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, but it's one it's like, okay, bring down

391
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: this admiration and bring it down to level everybody's the same. Um.

392
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 1: And then to like keep pressing, you know, keep pushing

393
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: you know. UM, But I think some of my failures

394
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: are the things that give me the most power. And

395
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: if you if you look at failure is not a

396
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: power piece as like you know, a disadvantage that you

397
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: have opposed to something that I have power from. I

398
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: was looking at the chapters and money. I don't have

399
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: enough money. Oh man, I would you something about that? Um?

400
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: Would I go get gas? I just pumped, you know,

401
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: I go. You know you have like three different levels

402
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 1: you can get. I just pumped. And so that's my goal.

403
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 1: See I My goal is I have several steps in

404
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 1: my life, like, for instance, I would shop with coupons.

405
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: I still shop with coupons if it's my option. You know, hey,

406
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 1: you know best, but you know with a bad bathroom,

407
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: y'ar coup on. Hey, I'm I'm there. Okay, okay, But

408
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: I tell people my mentality is to shop what I'm

409
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: looking at the price tag and so that so I

410
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: don't worry about My goal is not to worry about money.

411
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: My goal is to have money. And so most people

412
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: don't understand that. So when you wrote that chapter, what

413
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 1: did you mean? So I'm I'm I'm looking at a

414
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: lot of people have these visions where they maybe want

415
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: to start up company or they want to start a

416
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: business and they need a brick and mortar place and

417
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: they say, well, I need this investor money or my

418
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: investors haven't come through, so that means I can't start,

419
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: And I'm like, nope, nope, you can start near garage. Okay,

420
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 1: you can start right now. You don't need a brick

421
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 1: and mortar place. So in that chapter, I really talk

422
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: about bringing value, so like being committed to bringing value

423
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: to the marketplace opposed to accept expecting someone to give

424
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: you money for an idea. Go out and show that

425
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: that is valuable, right, prove the concept in the market first,

426
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: and then you know, maybe get somebody after you've got

427
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: some money coming in. Um. But yeah, So with that,

428
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: I just think people everybody's got a vision and they

429
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: say I don't have money, I I can't start. I'm like,

430
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: that's not true. But that's all. It always goes back

431
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: to the business plan, right, So why did you? Why

432
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: did you write a book? I there's a lot of

433
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 1: people out there writing books? Now did you come along? Mr? Yeah,

434
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 1: will write a book. I've got this fire in me. Um,

435
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: I've got this fire in this this commitment to encouraging people,

436
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,919
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna do it on every possible platform. So

437
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: that's me going out on a on a stage and speaking,

438
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: me writing the book. It's me on Instagram, you know,

439
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: at five am after the gym telling somebody what you know,

440
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: what I think? Um, I wake up in the morning

441
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: thinking how can I encourage somebody? And so um that's

442
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: why I write. I'm gonna continue to write them, um,

443
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 1: just because I feel like that's what I'm on this

444
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: earth to do. Well, you know, that's why I'm on

445
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 1: That's why I'm on this earth now, you know, meeting

446
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: people like you, um Man. You know, I really can't

447
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: tell you how excited I am when I meet an

448
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: individual like you. It tells me why I'm doing money

449
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: making conversation a day of my program directed one of

450
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: the big inspirations. But why I am who I am

451
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: right now? You know, because sometimes I didn't look at

452
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: myself and so all the value of my next level

453
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 1: of my life. You gotta help people that. My next

454
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: conversation with you is who you surround yourself that push

455
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: you for? Who are your cheerleaders that champion you to

456
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 1: the next goal in life? Man, because uh, you know,
