<v Speaker 1>The message is simple, just do it. Listen. I know

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you scared, you don't want to make the wrong decision,

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>you don't even want to have to make a choice.

0:01:00.640 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>You tired, you stressed out, and that's not going to

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:07.040
<v Speaker 1>stop time. That's not going to stop that desire. It's

0:01:07.080 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>not going to stop you from having to make a decision.

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a lot of freedom and choice, but

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.000
<v Speaker 1>you have to exercise that choice just the same as

0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 1>you exercise your freedom, you exercise your mind and you

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>exercise your body. It's part of the growing process. Nothing's

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>going to come to you just sitting there waiting and

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:33.119
<v Speaker 1>wasting time. The only thing that's coming faster is death.

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.640
<v Speaker 1>I know, I say it all the time and it

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:39.119
<v Speaker 1>sounds so morbid, but I don't think people realize that

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>you are going to die. Listen, we heading over to

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.560
<v Speaker 1>life Insurance Awareness Month. Yeah, I'm going to have a

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>good friend of mine, Wanda Honoree, who talks about the

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.160
<v Speaker 1>importance of having life insurance. How can it benefit you

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>not only after life, but during life? And I think

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>half the time people don't really realize that because they say, oh,

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>it's not something that I need to be concerned with

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>right now. That's not true, because what if you get sick? Huh?

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>What if you get ill? What if your loved ones,

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>whatever happens in your life that affects your income, what

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>are you going to do? See at that point, you're

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be forced to react or redact. I don't

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.360
<v Speaker 1>know I wanted to insert that in there somewhere because

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.119
<v Speaker 1>that rhymes. But anyway, the point is to just do it.

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:33.799
<v Speaker 1>Please Jesus for your sanity and for your peace. To

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 1>you feeling alive, Do you satisfying that dream that's inside

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>of you. I understand that you may be scared and listen,

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, is that really a wrong way to learn,

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.799
<v Speaker 1>because the most important thing is to learn now? One

0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>really really gets mad at the teacher of life because

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>usually when you are preparing yourself in school, your teacher

0:02:53.120 --> 0:02:56.040
<v Speaker 1>gives you assignments. Right, you might take some pop quizes,

0:02:56.080 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>some quizzes before you get prepared for the test. But however,

0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.000
<v Speaker 1>they say life is the greatest teacher because you take

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 1>the test and then you learn the lesson. Well, half

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>of y'all are not even showing up for the test,

0:03:07.560 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>yet you want to get the lesson. It's like you

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>want the physique and the body without working out. You

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.639
<v Speaker 1>wanna be healthy with not eating right. Yeah, you can

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>fake it for a little while, but best believe it's

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna tear you up inside. It's gonna mess with your peace,

0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna distort your vision, it's gonna start you to

0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>start it's gonna start you to hear things different ways.

0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:33.480
<v Speaker 1>That was really insane coming out, but you got what

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean. Okay, so just do it. Oh and a

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 1>follow up from the podcast yesterday so or not yesterday,

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 1>well technically yesterday, but you're gonna hear this on Thursday.

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Probably it don't matter. The last episode. I did remember

0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>when I said I was going to meet Jennifer Lashley

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 1>or jen you know from Solo Robotics. We we're gonna

0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>ride around and the way more car chiw. I did

0:03:54.720 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>not make it over there, not in a bad way.

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I was still making money. I got calls because you know,

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>I do some hosting, some live hosting, selling luxury bags,

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.440
<v Speaker 1>and I was asked to stay a little bit longer

0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>to sell some bags. And I did because I was like,

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>you gotta get that shwiney. And I didn't make it

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.040
<v Speaker 1>out to and I didn't get a chance to send

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.359
<v Speaker 1>an email. Then I came back home, got my stuff.

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Then here I am at the studio, had a conversation

0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>with Jade Barnes. He is the LA coordinator for the

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Black Men's Wellness Day. I don't know if you're familiar,

0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 1>you may have heard me talk about it before and

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>perhaps if you are a continued listener, you probably heard

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the conversation or perhaps me talking about it the African

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:41.000
<v Speaker 1>American Male Wellness Agency and Black Men's Wellness Day Well.

0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.719
<v Speaker 1>I had a conversation with him on his podcast called

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Cultured Podcast k U L t r D Podcasts and

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>their Cultured pod on all social media. We were talking

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>about the movie Shirley. You know about Shirley Twill Chisholm,

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the first African American wan to run for president, and

0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>we go aligned that with Cora aligned. We aligned that

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>within discussing about Kamala Harris, and along with that came

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.480
<v Speaker 1>about how we as black people need to stick together.

0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Do we just jump on the board for somebody who's black,

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 1>what it means to be growing up in a broken household.

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 1>We even touched on cam Noon and Nick Cannon, and

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>believe it or not, it all intertwined in the conversation

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.719
<v Speaker 1>when we're talking about a woman running for president. We

0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:30.560
<v Speaker 1>had one of Jade's friends he's known for over twenty years.

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>Her name is Tanil, she's down in Atlanta. And then

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>his co host was it Keenan Floyd. He's a comedian,

0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.039
<v Speaker 1>interesting brother I told him before we left, I said,

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you know what, we need to have another conversation so

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 1>we can unpack some things, unpack some things. It was

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:49.800
<v Speaker 1>juicy child. Was supposed to be an hour max. An

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 1>hour and fifteen minutes. We didn't get off to two hours.

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.720
<v Speaker 1>But we had a great conversation. That's nevertheless, that's all

0:05:56.800 --> 0:06:00.599
<v Speaker 1>that matters. And check it out. It's probably up now.

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna put some highlights and so forth on the

0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:06.479
<v Speaker 1>social media's for you to check out. But anyway, got

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:10.599
<v Speaker 1>completely derailed. So yeah, I came back, recorded that and

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>then here I am now. But also what I want

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.599

<v Speaker 1>of black men, because here in California, did you know

<v Speaker 1>men are only living to the age of sixty eight

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:36.560
<v Speaker 1>and we need to put an end to that. And

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>it all comes down to awareness and knowing your numbers,

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.839

<v Speaker 1>an email for the organization because they have hired me

0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:21.480

<v Speaker 1>the social media coordinator. Believe it or not. I don't

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:26.360
<v Speaker 1>know if I share with you, but if you are

0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a listener, then you will know that I served as

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:32.320
<v Speaker 1>the digital content producer for the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Yes,

0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.760

<v Speaker 1>four K and got them up to nine hundred and

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 1>fifty four K, so basically almost a million. That was

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>in about two and a half years and so a

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 1>lot of those tactics I brought to the table. And
