1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: Hello guys, Happy Monday and Happy Labor Day. I hope

2
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: some of you are enjoying an extra long weekend because

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: you deserve it. We work so hard and it's so

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: important to make time to rest and take care of

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: ourselves too. Hashtag note to self. Okay, So I was

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: doing some thinking the other day and self reflecting about

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: how we should never feel like we're better than anyone

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 1: else or above anyone else, and so I wanted to

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: unpack that here on the podcast. So that's what we're

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: going to talk about today on Jeez and Joe. Are

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: you ready? Here we go? So what do I mean

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: by never feeling like you're above others? And why does

13
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: it matter? I've seen a lot of things in my life.

14
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,879
Speaker 1: I've experienced quite a bit, a lot of disappointment. I

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: have disappointed others, and a lot of those things helped

16
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: me grow and learn. And I was sitting at my

17
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: desk and this whole idea came up because I was

18
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: dealing with some stuff with some people on my team.

19
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say any names, it's not worth it.

20
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: We've already talked it out. But I just felt very

21
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: sad because I don't like when people feel like they

22
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: are indispensable. When people don't take accountability and responsibility. We've

23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 1: talked about this so many times because it's a huge

24
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: pet peep. One day we're going to do an episode

25
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: of my pet peeves, because I have quite a bit. Anyways,

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 1: one of my pet peeves is when people can't humble

27
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: themselves and apologize and take accountability and their ego. And

28
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: we've talked about the ego because ego is not your amigo.

29
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: How it gets in the way of you becoming who

30
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: you are meant to be because you're afraid to be

31
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: vulnerable and to show your real feelings. So anyways, it's

32
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: a whole other episode. My point is, guys, that I

33
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: was in a situation where someone felt like, oh, they'll

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: come back, and she can't find anyone else. I cannot

35
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: with that. Like, when you give me that energy, I

36
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: will do anything, in everything to find someone else and

37
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: someone better. And that's just a small part of it,

38
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: because there's so much more to that story, and I

39
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: don't want to get into it because again, we talked

40
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: about things and things are not resolved, but I guess

41
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: we clear the air. I think it's just important that

42
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: we realize that anything can happen at any time. We

43
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: can be on top today and you turn around and

44
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: things have changed. And I've seen it with my own

45
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: two eyes, with people around me, with maybe certain family members, friendships,

46
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: where people are on top and they have all the

47
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: money in the world and the power to buy whatever

48
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: they want and the power to destroy people with the

49
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 1: money that they have and the power and the positions,

50
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: and they think that they are invincible, and then something happens.

51
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: Life shakes you up. God sits you on your ass

52
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: and everything is taken away, and all those people that

53
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: you treated bad along the way turn their back and say, well,

54
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: you were very mean to me. Why should I help

55
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: you when you need it, when you're on the floor.

56
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: I have seen it freaking happen, guys, I can tell you,

57
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: and you guys know, I'm very honest. I have never

58
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: in my life felt that I am better than anyone

59
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: or less than anyone. I like to treat people the

60
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: way I want to be treated. I will treat the president,

61
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: the CEO of the company the same exact way I

62
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: would treat the janitor that I see that's cleaning the

63
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: restroom that I just used. I promise you because I

64
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: have learned and I have seen it, and I never

65
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: want to go through that. I want to be able

66
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: to say I was nice to everyone, and not because

67
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: it's forced, not because I'm pretending, but because it's really

68
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: who I am. Because I know right now I can

69
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: live in this beautiful home that God has given me,

70
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: and I swear you, guys. I pray and I'm like, God,

71
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: thank you for helping me make ends meet every month,

72
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: because when I moved here it was a huge fucking risk.

73
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: It was like I'm taking a huge leap of faith

74
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: right now and I don't know how I'm going to

75
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: do it, but God will provide and he has provided.

76
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: And I've been in this home for three years. I

77
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: don't know how long I'm going to be here. I

78
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: don't know because the job that I have it's a career.

79
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: But it's not like this is why you, guys, I'm

80
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: so passionate about school or about learning some type of trait,

81
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: something that no one can ever take from you. Because

82
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: I just have my high school diploma. I didn't go

83
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: to college, and it's never too late to go to

84
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: college if I want to go and become a psychologist.

85
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: I can probably do it. It's just gonna take me

86
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: like for years or whatever. But anyways, like my job is,

87
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: so I guess the word is unreliable. I don't know

88
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: if I'm people are still gonna love me next year,

89
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: and if brands are still gonna want to work with me,

90
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: or you guys are still gonna want to buy my products. Like,

91
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what happens with the entertainment world. Things

92
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: are changing so rapidly. It's getting harder and harder to

93
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: fill up these venues, and not just with me with

94
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: huge artists. Like a lot of people were in a recession.

95
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: A lot of people are saving their money. I see

96
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: it on e commerce, Like things are constantly changing. So

97
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: for me, I can have this position and I can

98
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: have all the things that I'm doing and you know,

99
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: Chiky Sinfield throw and my music and my books and

100
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: my podcast, but I never know what's gonna happen. So

101
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: I want to be able to be okay with knowing, Hey,

102
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: I was there and I treated people well, and those

103
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: people that I treated well on my way up quote unquote,

104
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: if I turn around, I need their help later or

105
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: I need to sleep on someone's couch they're not gonna say, no,

106
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: you were a bitch to me. They're probably gonna say, hey,

107
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: don't even worry, here's my couch, here's this extra room.

108
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: Let me feed you, Let me feed you and your husband. Like,

109
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: you don't have to have a high position in the

110
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: world to be nicer, to be mean to people. It's

111
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: just we're human beings. At the end of the day.

112
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: We are all made of bones, flesh, blood, tendons, like

113
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: we're all made the same. We all are born and

114
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: then we die. What we do in the middle of

115
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: that determines so much. So with this whole situation that happened,

116
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 1: and I was thinking, and I was feeling sad and

117
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: just disappointed with certain things and certain people just got

118
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: me thinking of just so many things and how important

119
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: it is never to feel like you are more than

120
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 1: anyone else, and also how important it is for you

121
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: not to feel like you're less than anyone else. Don't

122
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: feel like you're any less. Then even the President of

123
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: the United States, guys like I could probably be in

124
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: the same room with the guy, and it was like,

125
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to be respectful and I'm gonna be cordial,

126
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: but you're still human at the end of the day,

127
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: you still deserve respect because of thee because you're a human.

128
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: Do I agree with everything that you do? Maybe not,

129
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: but I'm still going to be respectful. But I don't

130
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: feel less. I don't feel like you are better than me.

131
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: Like we have to understand like the value of being

132
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: alive and what we bring to the world and do

133
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: it every single day, like intentionally. There goes the word

134
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: intentional of being just good humans and treating people well

135
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: and doing good even when people aren't watching, especially when

136
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: people aren't watching. That shows if you are a person

137
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: of integrity, when you do things good things when people

138
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: aren't watching, never think like, oh, I have this position,

139
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: it's never gonna be taken away from me. I don't

140
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: have to help you because you're less than me. You're

141
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: lower than me. I cannot with that, and I have

142
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: experienced it with even other artists, other female artists, that

143
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: feel because they've been in the game longer than I have,

144
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 1: because maybe they don't like my voice, they've accomplished more

145
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: than I have, they have more streams than I do.

146
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 1: They feel like, oh, she's less or I don't want

147
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: to do a duet with her because she's not on

148
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: my level. What I honestly, I used to let that

149
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: stuff get to me. Now I'm just like, hmmm, feels

150
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,680
Speaker 1: so bad for you. I have given people opportunities because

151
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: God has given me this platform and any way that

152
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: I can help someone and they can help me and

153
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: we can help each other. Why the hell wouldn't I

154
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: do it. I never have thought that I'm too good

155
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: for anyone where it's like, I can't do this song

156
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: with her because she doesn't have a lot of followers,

157
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: and what is she gonna do for me. I've had

158
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: that happen to me a lot where people that I

159
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: have admired and I've wanted to do collabse with and

160
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: they have said no, and it's hurt my feelings and

161
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, damn, that sucks. But now I look back

162
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: and it's not to make fun and it's not to

163
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 1: say ha ha ha, that's what you get. But they're

164
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: not filling up stadiums the way they used to. People

165
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 1: don't believe they're little acts anymore. They're not the cool

166
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: kids on the block anymore. Meanwhile, thank God, thank you guys.

167
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: Little by little things are getting better for me in

168
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 1: my career. And if they were to come and ask

169
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: me if they wanted to do a duet. Let's say,

170
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: in a year. I am fucking killing it. My streams

171
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: are crazy, like I'm filling up stadium. And they came

172
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 1: and said, hey, I know I said no to you before,

173
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: but would you be willing to do a duet with

174
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: me or a collab? I'd probably say yes, guys, even

175
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: though they closed the door on my face, because at

176
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's not my place to

177
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: judge anyone unless they did really something really messed up

178
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: to me. But all they did was say no, Yeah,

179
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: they did it hurt my feelings? Yes? Do I think

180
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: it's messed up when I do that? No, But at

181
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: least I can say, well, they'll never be able to

182
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: say that my career became what it is or what

183
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: it will be because they gave me the opportunity. Would

184
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: I have loved to do something with them, Yes, but

185
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: they thought they were too good for me. And that's okay.

186
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm doing my thing. It's taking a little longer than others,

187
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: but a candle that burns twice as bright burns twice

188
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: as fast. The faster you get somewhere. I feel like

189
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: the faster the fall. It's not about getting there, it's

190
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: about sustaining yourself. And I have seen it where people

191
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: will step on anyone. These are called opportunists to get

192
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: to a place, to achieve something, and they'll screw anyone

193
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 1: over to get there. And they get there because again

194
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: they've screwed a lot of people over, but they don't

195
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: last a long time up there, and the fall, unfortunately,

196
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: is very hard. Again, I've seen it so many times,

197
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: which is why I wanted to tell you guys, be careful.

198
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: You don't have to be an artist. You don't have

199
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 1: to be on television to listen to what I'm saying.

200
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: Even in your office, if you have a higher position

201
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: than someone else, be nice, be respectful, be friendly, give

202
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: someone a smile. You never know what people are going through,

203
00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: and you never know if that janitor that you are

204
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: littling freakin works his ass off for her ass off

205
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: and surpasses you. It's happened. There are so many stories

206
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: like that of people that started off at the lowest

207
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: position in their company and they become the chairman. Like

208
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: it happens. Guys, Be nice to everyone, Be nice to

209
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 1: the lady on the on the corner selling flowers. There's

210
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: nothing more beautiful than a person that is spreading and

211
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: radiating love and respecting others. And I don't know how

212
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: this all even started with just that little conversation that

213
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: we had, because I feel like it had nothing to

214
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: do with the issue that I was having, but it

215
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: was just I didn't get into details with you guys.

216
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: That's why as well. But I just I don't know.

217
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: I felt it in my heart and I just see

218
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: it so much, especially in my industry, especially in my industry,

219
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: you guys, it's so fucking sad. It's so depleting. It's

220
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: so I can cry about it right now, because people

221
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: can be so mean, Like it's so mean, and I'm

222
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: just so happy. I'm so proud to say that no

223
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: matter what, no one can never say that I was

224
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: mean to them and that I felt like I was

225
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: better than them. Granted, I'm not perfect. I'm sure I've

226
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: had an attitude or whatnot, but I always am very

227
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: intentional of treating people right because I am so grateful

228
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: to have everything that I have, But I also know

229
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: and I'm wise enough to know that it can be

230
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: taken away from me, and I want to treat people well,

231
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: and I want them to have this good feeling about

232
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: me when they think about Cheeky's. That's part of my legacy.

233
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: One day when I'm gone, I want people to be

234
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: able to say, she was very nice to me. She

235
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: gave me a smile. She didn't have to say hello

236
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: to me when I walk into a room because I'm

237
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: quote unquote no one, but she did. Like That's what

238
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: I just want to just leave in your guys's hearts

239
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: and imprint it in your mind and in your heart

240
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: is for you guys to just be fucking nice, because

241
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: it's something that I have to deal with a lot

242
00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 1: being a woman in the industry and dealing with other women.

243
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: Because they asked me to interview the other day, what

244
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: do you think needs to change Cheeky's for women to

245
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: become more successful and to have a better position in

246
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: your genre. And my answer was women that are in

247
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: important positions in the industry to give us women the opportunity.

248
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 1: There's so much jealousy and the women instead of supporting women,

249
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: they support the men and they won't even give us

250
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: the time of day, and they are in high positions,

251
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: and as a woman, it makes me proud to see. Wow,

252
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: that girl got there, but she won't take the time

253
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: to look down at me or at us and say, hey,

254
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: let me give you an interview, let me play your music,

255
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: let me whatever the case may be. And not only that,

256
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: other artists, other women, female artists, for them to also

257
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: give us the opportunity, the ones that came before us,

258
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: to say, hey, is there any type of advice that

259
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: I can give you? Like something? And that's what I

260
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: feel is missing in the world in general. But anyways,

261
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: I feel like I've talked about so many different things

262
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: on this episode, but it's just I'm just talking. I

263
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: haven't even looked at my note to you guys. I

264
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: am just letting my heart speak. And this is what

265
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: I love about my podcast, that I'm able to just

266
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: talk and express myself. And it's like a form of

267
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: therapy for me. That I am out here in the

268
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: world learning and dealing with a lot of things and

269
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: a lot of people in a lot of shitty situations.

270
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: But I can turn around and talk to you guys

271
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 1: and hopefully help you and for you to learn something

272
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: from my experiences. And that's what this episode is about, really,

273
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: And now that I'm thinking about it. I mean, we

274
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: learn as children or as people. We learn a lot

275
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 1: of the things that we're passionate about, or just our

276
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: traits and how we are from our par parents and

277
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,440
Speaker 1: a lot of things I didn't learn. I learned along

278
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: the way, and I learned from reading books and stuff

279
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: like that. But if I really think about it, that's

280
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: something that my mom did. My mom, even if she

281
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: had a very strong attitude, my mother was very respectful

282
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: and very cordial to everyone. She would also put you

283
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: in your place real quick and say some pretty mean things,

284
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: but she was straight up. She wouldn't like run around

285
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: the bush. But I think that that's definitely where I

286
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: saw it. And I saw how my mom treated everyone equally,

287
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: and I just thought it was just such a beautiful thing,

288
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, And I thank her for that because I

289
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: see it in my siblings, and my siblings are the

290
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: same way, and that's something I guess I learned from her.

291
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: And I've led by example with my siblings and they've

292
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 1: seen and I love that, like I love to see

293
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: that we really really, none of them, not one of us,

294
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: thinks that we're better than anyone else, or we've wanted

295
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 1: to get out of situations or into situations because we

296
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: are the children of its like we treat people the

297
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 1: way we want to be treated. And I think that

298
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: that's one of the most beautiful things people can do.

299
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: And I don't mean to boast and like, you know,

300
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: to my own horn, but sometimes you just got toot it,

301
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, tooto Lulu. You know. So I'm just very proud,

302
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 1: I guess, of my siblings and and I never want

303
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: to forget this. And that's why I want to like

304
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: leave it here on this podcast so that there is

305
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: a record of it and it keeps me accountable that guys,

306
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: maybe I could be like the next Beyonce. I don't know.

307
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: And I want to remember this podcast in this episode

308
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: and remember that I said this saying and this is

309
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 1: a whole other thing again, this episode is everywhere, guys.

310
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: But anyways, I choose to bend the knee to kneel

311
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: at night because that's my way of humbling myself, of

312
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: reminding myself, Yes, I did all these things all day long.

313
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 1: I was on television, I went on stage, whatever. But

314
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I need to humble

315
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: myself before a higher power and remind myself that there

316
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: is something someone higher and bigger than I am, and

317
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 1: that just keeps me grounded. And that's why I do it,

318
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: because I'm like, Okay, doesn't matter what I do in

319
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: the world, what position I have, at the end of

320
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: the day, I have someone that I need to respect.

321
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: Hopefully that makes sense. But anyways, again, guys, I appreciate

322
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: you listening to me and allowing me to express myself

323
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: and pour my heart out and allow me to be

324
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: vulnerable and cry. And this is just such a beautiful

325
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: space for me. And I'm so grateful for my podcast.

Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for you guys, for my listeners, and

327
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: I just I'm out here just trying to do my thing,

328
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: do my part, and this is part of it, a

329
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: huge part of it, and I'm just grateful that you
