Speaker 2 (00:19):
I've always was a fan of.
Let's just start with, like hiphop, right and and music, this
music.
And then I'm going to talkabout hip hop a little bit,
because that was like the genreI fell in love with when I was
young, cause I was I'm anineties high school.
I was in, you know, 94 to 98.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I was going to say hanging around with you and B
like you guys have.
You guys are like a bank ofknowledge when it comes to rap
and uh music.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It was crazy well, I think the golden era is that the
right way to say it of hip-hopwas like 96.
I mean, are people gonna arguewith that?
They might, but they might notyou know what I mean, like if
they really know hip-hop theymight be like yeah that was you
know if you look at what cdsreleased in that in that time
and what was happening at thattime, yeah, um, that was a, like
(01:11):
a pivotal moment.
I was like that's my sophomore,junior year in high school, so
my age too, and the pop cultureand just being really into that.
You know, hip-hop was big forme and what I loved about
hip-hop more than anything wasthe artistic value it brought
and creativity when it came toum album covers, yeah, the songs
(01:33):
being having a holistic likeapproach to like, for example,
outcast when they releasedaliens at aliens forgive me it,
it was, you know, the concept ofthem being outcasted by their
name, meaning you had the eastand the west hip-hop groups,
(01:53):
right, but then they're comingout of the south, so they
weren't really getting the lightshined on them, right, and so
they released this album.
That's just different.
They did like a comic book stylewith, you know, the old cds,
you get the full cover and thenthe songs when you go into it
all had the extraterrestrialkind of theme going on and and
(02:14):
just that was that creativeoutlet for me is what I loved,
and so obviously when you'regrowing up in that era, we all
think we can rap and so we allstart doing our own little rap
things and creative outlets.
But what I enjoyed most wasdelivering a message, an overall
(02:38):
message that you basically fromthe album name to the cover, to
the titles of the song.
You know there was a time in mylife where I started really
reading Christian books and soyou know I didn't really read
too much like before.
I mean, you're like, how'd youget through school, man?
(02:59):
I don't know, sometimes I don'tknow, but I didn't really have
good reading comprehension.
They picked that up, I think,when I was like in third or
fourth grade.
Put me in a resource class andtry to help me because I would
read and my ADD would just I'dread one sentence and I'm
already thinking about playingbasketball, you know afterwards,
yeah, but I'm still reading.
(03:21):
Right, right, I don't know ifyou know, that's a common thing,
but I'm just like readingthrough all the pages but I'm
not even thinking about what I'mreading, and so I got to stop
myself and I got to go back andreread.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And think about it at the same time.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
So hard for me, yeah, so it was such a challenge
really getting into something.
But when my wife, tiffany's mom, started introducing me to
pastors who have books, I thinkthat was the first time I really
started reading and it was likemaybe it's the subject matter
(03:53):
and my interests, yeah, but itwould catch my attention and I
was hungry for the knowledge atthe time and I just started
reading books like crazy.
I was reading like John Piper,john Bevere, john no, I was
going to name a whole bunch ofJohn John the Baptist, john the
Baptist, I mean.
(04:14):
And then reading the Bible too,I mean that was always
challenging for me because theKing James Version is like
talking, you know, for me totalk to Filipinos in Philippines
, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Yeah, yeah, it just is a whole nother, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
It's like it was, it's, it was hard for me.
And so, um, you know, once Irecognize there's different
versions, I mean that's how Ithink ignorant I was to even the
Bible world, I didn't realizethere was like a whole bunch of
different versions, you know.
And so, um, yeah, just startedreading the Bible.
(04:46):
I think it was around 26, 27when I really started reading.
Isn't that crazy?
Like the rest of me, I'd readlike a Facebook post, or I mean
I could read man, you know whatI'm saying Like host.
Or I mean I could read, man,you know what I'm saying, like
it's just the comprehension part, like, yeah, it was just it had
to have my interest and so forsure.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I mean, reading was just I wasn't a fan of it.
I think I thanks, man, I canprobably only read.
I can count the number, uh,like on my hand, how many books
I've read in terms of likefiction and stuff like that.
Like you said, it just wasn't Ihave to be super interested in
it.
Um, but it's tough.
But now, looking at it inhindsight, it's like, bro, like
you never used to like to read,but now you have a book.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Yeah, I think it's a God thing, it's.
You know, reading I just I fellin love with reading now when
you got.
So, like John Bevere, I'm a bigfan of his books just because
his style of writing is it's aneasy read.
Yeah, you know, I'm not theintellect guy who needs the big
intellect book.
Only when I used to rap.
(05:47):
I used to like big words, andso Tiffany knows this.
I would just be, just I'd havea dictionary and thesaurus and
try to find the biggest words Icould because it was always fun,
right?
So, like constant competition ofdecisions, through my retina,
my vision, the collision of alldispositions.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
But I don't know what I just said it was just fun to
rap like that, right?
So do you remember your raps,though, like?
I always think about this whenI think about like rap, because
you got guys that that have beenin game like naz for for a long
time.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
You know jay-z all, because we have a name for it.
It's called the Goody Sack, theGoody Set Sack.
What does that mean?
Like you know a sack, yeah,it's a Goody Sack, so you got
all the goodies in there, yeah,and so basically it's kind of
like in the mental bank.
You just pick it up, yeah, youhave a Goody Sack.
It's just remembering the firstthree words and then the rest
(06:37):
is just like a machine gun.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, I always wonder I'm like dude, how do people
just?
You have a ton of songs.
You've been in the game for awhile.
How can you just pick it up?
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Yeah.
So when I started, you know,doing my hip hop with you know
Jesus lyrics I used to be, Iused to reach out to people but
I'd have that in the goodie sackand it was more.
It was more, it had more valueto me to rap to you in person
like we're just chilling, likespoken word.
But I loved making music andall that stuff too.
(07:07):
Um, but, uh, yeah, yeah, it'suh.
Writing.
Writing a book, man is uh, it.
Let's just say this it took 12years to meditate.
Yeah, what I mean by that is Ididn't think of writing a book
(07:30):
12 years ago, but this is 12years in the making.
And you know, when we startedour podcast in 2021, this is our
fifth year, man, I know that'scool.
Well, now I know what.
Yeah, you told me this is ourfifth year man.
I know that's this is well, nowI know what.
Yeah, yeah, I um, I think in theprocess of those first season,
that first season podcast, Ifelt like there was a message
(07:50):
being bird that was there forthe past, you know, 11, 12 years
.
And so after listening to those, I like, okay, god, you know, I
want to hone in on this messageyou're putting on my heart,
because everything that we aresharing and that's in the book
is just the walk that me andTiffany took as being business
(08:11):
owners, but having the builderof all things with us in that
process.
And so what I've learned is,like people, and there are
seasons where people would asklike, oh, you know, how do you
do this?
And that you know everybodywants to do some gem sharing,
right, like, yeah, how do you dothat?
And so, really, yeah, therethere are like business
(08:31):
practical gems we could shareand certain things, but
ultimately, like it's the streamwe're on and and who's with us,
that's really the power sourcebehind everything, right.
And so, you know, I just wantedto like get it on paper, man,
document it, and I think me andmy wife are in a season of, you
(08:52):
know, we have our four, um,blessed with four children, who
three are married, one to bemarried pretty soon, and 13
grandkids, and so the big wordfor us in this past year or so
is legacy, and what are we doingto prepare to pass down to them
(09:17):
is number one, and so that kindof, I guess, bird the idea of
getting it, you know, into abook.
So like, when you go look atthe acknowledgements on the book
.
It's like, obviously God, mywife and then my kids, but my
grandkids, bye.
I've always was a fan of.
Let's just start with, like hiphop, right and and music, this
