going on. Everybody, Um Julyto team and it is industry plant.
We are here for the second week. Last week was a riot. I
told y'all was gonna go go backto the studio when I did, I
was going back with a banger.I can't tell y'all who's gonna be with

(04:13):
me, but it was a fanfavorite. You know EJ from a few
seasons ago. Y'all love her.We was in that studio rocking. She
was off the Constami goes. Iwas off the Celsius, the energy drink
because, like I said, andmake me feel drunk without the send it.
So keep that in your mind,all right. So if you ever
missing want something that you know youmaybe don't drink no more, or you're

(04:35):
about to just go work out,you know you just want to rush.
You know you're having a tire someday to work, go get your Celsius.
Celsius. If you see this,shout me out, then you're gonna
feel good. But they do tastegood too. Like I don't know if
they're as like damaging as the otherenergy drinks. I don't think that they

(04:56):
are. I gotta do my fullresearch on it, but I like how
they make me feel so and they'renot like C four because you know C
four make you feel like you couldpeel your skin off. And there are
some days when you're at the gymif that feels good where you need that,
like you know, you want tobe in the gym, just doing
everything. I had one homeboard.He takes those like every day. Okay,
so let's get into it with today'sepisode. We are on track two

(05:21):
and let's get into this week's mean. Last week we talked about see now
we're talking about like the development stagesof that. So let's get into it.
So to these today's mean reads,look at it like this. Had
the tragedy not had happened, youwouldn't be where you are today, all
right. Inspiration for this week's episodescome from Isaiah forty thirty one. But

(05:45):
those who hoping a little renew theirstrength the other age old quote, everything
comes to those that wait. Andthen I think of another inspiration, which
may I may clip it in thevideo. I have my producer do a
shout out to heart he dearly seven. I might have him clip it in
where you know that a meme ofthe minor guy and he like minded mind

(06:09):
and mind is like, you know, you keep going because you never know
when it's gonna be like that thatthing, and so it was one part
of the meme where the dude isdoing the mind and stuff, and then
he stops. He keeps going.He hits the pot of gold diamond or
whatever, and then it's another onewhere he's hitting it and then he was
like and then he turns around withhis head down. But he was one,

(06:31):
like like one strike away from gettingyou know, getting up what he
was looking for. So this islike, you never know when you'll have
that one video, that one interview, that one that one game. You
know, if you do sports withyou just never know if that that you're
one more away from that thing.Okay, all right, so real quick

(06:59):
today y'all, just because we're movinginto happy hour, and as we know,
this is the segment where we're justkind of ranting about stuff and yeah,
I have my jug. Well todayI don't have my cup. I
have my jug. I have ajug. I once at a gas station
and I got me some water.I'm not gonna lie. I don't know.

(07:19):
I usually like Ozarka, but thisone today tastes a little bit like
pool water. I'm not really surewhy, but I'll say this, and
this may sound weird, even thoughit kind of tastes like pool water,
it kind of tastes good a littlebit. Is that weird. I don't

(07:40):
know. Let me know the comments, which I think. Am I weird
for that? Okay, So thefirst thing we're talking about today my toxic
trade. So my toxic trade,honestly is if I'm somewhere, whether it's
a gym, whether I'm out andlaunch or something, whether I'm at the
no matter what it is, ifI see somebody with some nice shoes,

(08:03):
I feel like those are nice shoes. I need to go buy me some
more. And the thing is,anybody who knows me knows I got dummy
shoes. Like you look at themcloset, you'll see a bunch just my
shoes. And I got rid ofa lot and I still got a lot
because end up buying some more too. That's my toxic trade. Is it

(08:24):
really toxic though? One hand absolutely, But the other hand is, like
I said, I see it becauseit's like, well, you're just blowing
money. But then on the otherside, it's like you get you some
shoes. Well no, well that'skind of it's kind of stupid. Now

(08:45):
I think about it, and see, sometimes when you need to say stuff
out loud because now I feel stupidbecause I'm talking about some will no they
don't really that ain't toxic, butit is toxic because the only beautiful part
of it is you can have niceshoes. But what's the benefit of that,
You know what I'm saying. That'show I was getting some brand deal
or something, which I'm not.There's something about second thing I want to

(09:07):
talk about. Um, talk abouta few I want to talk about next.
I want to talk about. Ifeel like I'm shadow ban on Instagram.
Whenever I asked people they see mypost, I'll be I never see
a stuff and I'll be posting likeI'll be posted posting and I need like
an Instagram expert, who's gonna watchthis because I know they will to tell

(09:31):
me what is that about? Whydo you think I got shadow man if
I did? And how to getout of it? Do I need to
create a whole new page or what? Because it really be blowing me,
like I really be posting fire youfeel me like hashtag the pictures, the
videos, the content just be thereand then it's just like don't nobody see

(09:54):
it? So like what am Imissing? What am I not doing?
I'm trying to figure that out.But then that that alone, that kind
of aligns me what we're talking abouttoday, because if this episode is about
development, right, and you plantingthose seeds and planting that putting that work

(10:18):
in. Like I said, evenif nobody sees it yet, that don't
mean they're not going to because youknow, it's a principle you reap what
you saw, right, So ifyou're constantly sewing out good sewing out that
sewing out good content, I justcan't help but to believe at some point
it's gonna the tree gonna sprout.And I don't think it's gonna be a

(10:41):
little one either, but I dojust kind of sometimes doubt a little bit,
just because I mean a defense justhuman nature really, But it's just
something to think about. But forreal, them Instagram if like not influences,
but them Instagram experts. When yousee this part, please let me
know what am I doing or notdoing? And I may just clip this
part out and post it because somebodyis see it and then they'll be like,

(11:03):
hey, it's what you're doing thiswhat you're not doing? Okay,
So before I get to ranting happy, I was not gonna be there long
day as you see. Um,before I get to rank and I have
an interview today. Got a guest, all right, somebody I've been following
for a while now, was suggestedto me. So while I'm talking about
I'm shadow bad, his stuff beingpushed, and so his stuff being push

(11:26):
I saw his stuff weeks ago andthen I started following him, and he
has a lot of um, what'sthe word I'm looking for, the the
the easy way to say this,his own time words. But I was
gonna say, I can't think ofa phrase. The other phrase rang of
words. I was gonna say thattoo. It was something else, but

(11:46):
I can't think him right now.But let me go ahead and introduce him.
All right. So my boy wasgoing on, what's up, man,
how are you doing? I'm good? How are you? I'm good
man, doing the best I canwith what I got. Mariad Carry,
I don't know, my grandfather saidall the time. So I just be
saying no. But it's a videoof Mariad Carry and they got the mic

(12:09):
on her on stage and they putthe mic on her face and she saith,
She's screaming, I'm doing the bestI can with what I got.
I ain't seen it. I ain'tseen it. So for obviously my visual
people can see on YouTube like ratesubscribe, but my audio people tell the
people your name, where are youfrom, and where you live now.
My name is Jason Jackson Jr.I'm from northeast Texas. I'm from Decap,

(12:33):
Texas, but i currently live inHouston, Texas, and I'm about
to move soon. I'm not reallysure where, but it'll be either I'm
either saying in Texas, moving toFlorida, or going to Philly. So
still haven't I'm not sure yet.But I mean, it's just crazy right
now. Oh you cheat a girl, you all around the world. First

(12:58):
of all, I live in here. It's dummy hot. It's not even
fully summon. Yeah, it's dummyhot. But so you get on all
this moving. This is definitely thisis I'm telling y'all, this is an
own time word. This is hetalking about the transition, and we're gonna
get into that because I don't wantto get to ahead of myself. Tell
the people what you do for likea living, and then what you do

(13:20):
and why are you here? Becauseyou know why? Yeah, so I
am a I never thought I wouldsay this, and it's actually kind of
kind of crazy because I used tocringe at people who did say this.
But I am a full time socialmedia influencer and um, you know,
I just go on the internet andI talk about my relationship with God and
I motivate other people in different waysand an aspect in which you know they

(13:43):
can relate to it and not justhave to, you know, make somebody
feel like they they have to likeopen a Bible and you have to read,
you have to listen to what I'mtalking to, Like I want to
talk to you like a person,you know. So, um, I
feel like that's kind of why Godblessed me to have the platform that I
do have right now. And todayI'm just on here to talk about,

(14:05):
like you said, the developmental stagesand you know, planning the seed and
even though you can't see it yet, you know, just staying the course
and sticking with it, knowing thatsomething has to come up out of the
mud soon for sure. So beforewe get too ahead of myself questions,
so have you till you tell meof was experience or a time where you
had to sew a seed and thenwait patiently forward and in its proud Yeah,

(14:28):
right now, like what I'm livingright now, Like I just started
making videos almost four months ago whilethis is being filmed, so it ain't
been that long. But I rememberthinking, like, whenever I get X
y z amount of followers or Ihave an audience that's like this, then
I'll be doing these particular things andstuff like that. But that's not the

(14:48):
case, and it didn't come wheneverI wanted it too. But it's like
it's like now I'm seeing it,and I'm also understanding why it didn't come
because my character just wasn't there touphold what God wanted to place upon me.
And that's good too. And Ithink a lot of times i'd rather
it take, even like with me, I'd rather take ten more years then

(15:09):
take. You know, it comestomorrow, and I wasn't ready because then
if you're I'm ready, you're gonnahave to go back in and hiding.
And then and honestly, I lookat so many of these celebrities who've got
needs platforms. I neven just celebrities, just people in general who got platforms
but they wasn't ready for and thenthey ruined themselves and they came to public,
rowing in public shame. You know, everybody you know shaking their heads

(15:31):
when they see them and they gottaput their hand up trying not to be
seen. So that's definitely good.So, um, what do you feel
that you've learned from this experience ofjust just from this one alone, of
sewing something and then waiting forward tosprout like he did? And if you

(15:52):
just if you wait on God andyou submit all your plans to him,
he will grant you access to something. You know it may not be in
the form in which you wanted itto be, but if you just wait
on him, like, he gonnareward you for your obedience. So,
like, the biggest thing for meright now and what I learned is don't
be afraid to be laughed at.Don't be afraid to be criticized because people

(16:15):
may say it's cringe you right now, but eventually they're gonna be saying how
much courage you had to do itand all that stuff. So don't worry
about what people are saying right now. If you have an image of what
you want to do in your head, you gotta go for it and you
can't let nobody to tear you awayfrom that. Absolutely. And so what
was your job prior to being afull time influencer? So I just finished

(16:38):
up college. I played college footballat washed Off Baptist University. Shout out
to them and all of my teammatesand things there. But when I got
done there in December, I movedto Houston, Texas, and I'm like,
Okay, I got a job here. I'm gonna go work and everything's
gonna be all good, you know. I started that job December, I

(17:00):
mean January ninth, and I quitJanuary twenty third, and it was just
like, I don't have family,I don't have friends, I don't have
anybody here. It's just me inHouston, and like I thought, I
had it all mapped out. SoI started the job. They got me
working like crazy hours. I won'tsay the company name because I'll due respect
to them. It just wasn't forme. It's a great job, but
just not for me. But likesometimes twelve thirteen hours a day, six

(17:25):
days a week, and I'm like, dude, I'm twenty one years old.
I'm not about to be doing thisfor the rest of my life.
So I quit because I was like, no, it's something else out there.
So I quit that job and thenI transitioned over into real estate because
I had my real estate license.Quickly found out that that wasn't for me.
And it's just the environment was nice, and you know, I had
I have a great mentor you know, someone that I could still ask questions.

(17:48):
But the market is going a littlecrazy right now, so I wasn't
making any money with it and wentinto like this crazy depression. So that's
what I did before this, butlike that's kind of why I'm here.
Oh my god, Okay, goodlittle story. All right, It's good
to see um. And obviously it'sworking for you. And even though I

(18:10):
like how even in this where youwere, now you've made it's far with
the influence. Of course it's goingto continue to go up, but the
fact that you're now another season ofwaiting to see what God about to do,
because it's like a season of transition. I keep telling you, well
to telling my people. Last night, I was at a birthday dinner for
my friend not birthday then I'm trippinggoing away dinner. She's moving back home

(18:33):
to where she's from. She's beenin Houston forever, and she was saying,
like she going to heal her childhoodself. And I just think it's
so crazy because everywhere you look alllisten, everywhere somebody's moving like they transitioning
out of a position. That it'ssomething going on, and you can just
tell that that's the season we ifyou can, definitely can sometimes Oh yeah,

(18:56):
my cup popped up. Oh yeah, I like that. Here,
appreciate you know, I was.I told him early, I said,
but our couple wasn't here, butit's here now, Oh my god.
All right. So now I'm gonnagive you two um, just for this,
We've only got two definitions. I'mgonna ask you. I'm gonna say
two words, and I want youto say the first thing that comes to
mind. You're ready, all right. First one is patience. God huh.

(19:19):
Well. The second one I kindof did to it is. The
second one is weight That songe actuallycomes to my head whenever you when you
say that, what's song? Um, I think it's called weight on you
And like the chorus is like,that's what happens when you wait, Like
you just keep saying, that's whathappens when you wait, Like he'll renew

(19:40):
your strength, and yeah, that'swhat come in my head when he's okay,
all right, all right. Sothe definitions of patience is the capacity
to accept or tolerate delay, trouble, or suffering without getting angry or upset.
I think that's the interesting definition becauseI never fully knew the definition of
that all the way. And thenweight is stay w one is or delay

(20:00):
action to a particular time or tosomething else happens. So even though they're
very similar, they're still different.That's crazy. Um okay, So this
is my question because this is industryplant and this is trap two. We
have what after this week? Wehave nine more weeks to go, and

(20:21):
I'm telling you how to get thetrack list on this. It's like a
bag of trail makes none of thesepeople match, and it's crazy, but
I love it. So if youcould be a plant, what plant would
you be? And why? Um? I would be I think it's so

(20:42):
cliche to say a rose, likeI feel like everybody would say that or
something like that, But to behonest, I would be a venus fly
trap okay, And I would bethat because I actually never thought of this
question before, but it just cameto my line, because like, it

(21:03):
appears to be one thing, butuntil you actually get to know what it
is, you can find out that'snot Like you don't know all of the
things that it can do until youactually learn about it. You know what
I'm saying, Like you the momentthat you step out on it, that's
whenever, like yeah, you stuck. Yeah okay, man, all right,
so let's move into the next segment, which is what does this have

(21:25):
to do with mental health? Okay? So the main thing is this episode
for my young millennials. This isfor us and you know all the gen
z but really young right still withyoung adults, So this is for us
to This episode is for those whoI want them to make the decision to
wait and as far as to beto be in that position where they're okay

(21:47):
with the waiting and making the decisionto wait and not get too aunty and
ahead of themselves. So quick littlebackground with you. So we're studying you.
How has your single mother checked yourview on delay, gratify and having
faith in be unseen? Because Iknow it is your mother who really got
you into you know, your faith, So how did she do that?

(22:07):
Yeah? Really just showing me Ididn't know. It was a lot of
things that I didn't know growing upuntil I got like older, Like I
remember I was twenty years old,Um, so, I guess last year,
my mom she was kind of explainingto me that at one point when
I was like me and my olderbrother when we were we were young,
Um, she was working and shewas making like three hundred dollars a month

(22:32):
and you know, providing for herselfand two other kids and paying bills and
all of that stuff. Like inmy head, that's absolutely absurd, like
how could you possibly even do that? You know? But that showed me
that you know, if you justgive it time and you know, you
can stay at it, like continueto work for what you want, like
doors will open now. Um,you know, I still my dream is

(22:56):
still like I'm a I'm a buymy mama house, I buy my mama
car and stuff like that. Butshe's in a position now where she doesn't
even have to work. She did, she's retired and all that type of
stuff, but it took going throughthe hard times just to be able to
reap the reward in the end.Okay, good. So my next question
was, can you share any experiencesor lessons that are relevant to my audience

(23:21):
as far as with waiting, AndI think you really kind of just did
talking about you so far as faras like how you got to with that
and then with the story with yourmom. So I think I'm actually gonna
share one. I remember when Ifirst graduated college and I had a job
and then I quit it. Thiswas a million years ago, and I

(23:42):
was kind of the position of waitingaround to another position that they came about,
and you know, it took himin and it took him in,
and they took him in, andfinally, after waiting for many months,
I got a job that was decent, something I could do and I could
tolerate because I always knew, youknow, doing this stuff like this and

(24:03):
will be what I really wanted todo. But being in education for as
long as I was, it wasdefinitely something that you know, it was
one of those things you you know, it's not your end. I'll be
all at least not for me,but it was definitely rewarding, and it
was at times and then it wasjust good to make those connections because I
tell them, just the kids,aren't I say, ya ain't gonna never
forgive me, like even obviously twowith me being on the platforms I'm gonna

(24:25):
be on, but just in general, just how I was, I said,
they'll never forgive me, So Ithink that that was different interesting for
me. So how do you balancethe pressure because I know being a social
media and you know, I juststarted getting trolled on YouTube, so I'm
enjoying that. Um, how doyou balance the pressures and expectations of having
such a large audience we're staying trueto your message and your faith. Um,

(24:48):
I don't really I know this isprobably gonna sound cliche, you know,
but I don't really look at itas pressure because I could understand if
it were something that I was doingout of my own abilities, But like
everything that I'm doing right now isbecause God has given me the ability to
do so, so I know exactlywhere I need to go to get more
resources, and if I have aquestion about something, I know exactly who

(25:11):
I can go to. So Idon't really feel pressure because I feel like
pressure. There are two types ofpressure. There are only two types of
pressure to me in my head.There's the pressure of God putting something on
you that you have to uphold,and there's the pressure of you picking something
up that God never told you to. So I'm not like creating anything out

(25:33):
for myself that God didn't give itto me, So I'm like, all
right, if I need a littlehelp, God gonna lift something up off
of me that you know I can't. But I don't really look at it
as pressure. I do love thehateful comments and stuff like that because I've
never I've never had it in mylife, so I'm kind of like fired
up about that, but I don'tI don't feel like I got too much
pressure on me. Yeah, see, people like me, I've dealt with

(25:59):
what's the word I look for.I've been unsuffered under witch hunts my entire
life. So I've had so alot of this stuff that I was hearing
with people who get to these theseplaces, this is new, like you
just said, it's new for thembecause they've never dealt with people not liking
them or hating on them, attackingthem. And you know, I want
to jump ahead of myself, butI'm gonna ask, because I've had somebody

(26:21):
to say this on my YouTube recently, why do atheists feel the need to
constantly tell us we're wrong? Like, why can't you just accept that you're
right? You've got all the answers, so why can't you just have all
the answers and just be happy?And just think, I'm why do you
have to keep telling me I'm stupidif it's not true? Man, I
don't know. I mean I lovethem though, Like a lot of people

(26:44):
ask me questions about like how doyou feel about atheists and how do you
feel about this particular people, AndI'm like, I love them, you
know, because in my head,like Jesus didn't just die for the people
that followed him, like he diedknowing. Okay, you may not even
follow me, but I still thinkthat you're worked it. So I'm like,
you know what, everybody hates them, so I might at least try

(27:06):
to be the one that loved them. And sometimes you know a certain amount
of love or change the whole person'sperspective about you. So um, I
don't know. I have no idea. I'll have to sit down with some
of them one day and something likethat. You probably will. That'd be
the funny part. It'll probably beon some like Instagram live stuff and they're
like, let's go live and talkabout it, and yeah, you know
they're gonna come in on teen andyou're just gonna kind of be like,

(27:29):
right, people people be so mad, like when you be like chilling and
they just be going crab like.But anyway, so my next question was,
how does this affect your mental health? But it don't seem like if
anything, It's like it's like,like you said, it's fired you up.
Do you feel like sometimes, well, let me ask you this as
twisted. Do you feel that sometimesyou are maybe overwhelmed with like trying to

(27:56):
keep up with what to put outtoday and what to put out tomorrow?
Is it? How do you balancethat? Oh? Yeah, I actually
just got to a point in mylife, like this week, I just
got to the point where not tryingto like put out content like I'm a
content creator, because that was nevermy purpose, Like I never intended for

(28:18):
this to be my job. SoI had to kind of revert back to
my why because I feel like whyyou do what you do will always have
a direct correlation to how you dowhat you do. So if I'm just
putting out stuff just to say Iput something out, like, I won't
care if it's good quality or anythinglike that. But in the beginning,
I was just sharing my relationship withGod with other people, and I had

(28:40):
to revert back to that because itdid become a little overwhelming whenever I was
like, you know, if Idon't put this out, then my check
will be like this and blah blahblah, And I'm like, dude,
you weren't doing it for money inthe beginning, so don't make money to
motivation right now? Yeah, goodstuff, because that's definitely for somebody out
here who he is a content creatorand maybe having got into or a rut

(29:00):
and then he's like, I don'tknow what to do. Now go back
to your why. I remember whyyou're doing this. Who are you trying
to help? Why are you tryingto help them? And that's the main
thing. So all right, cool. So now we're mental health. We're
talking about how you know, ifyou struggle with waiting and you wanted to
learn how to wait, you know, we'll get to that letter, but
we'll talking about how weighting affects mentalhealth. So what do uncertainty and anxiety?

(29:25):
It says waiting for us uncertain oroutcomes or information can contribute to feelings
of anxiety and stress. I studypublishing a journal of Behavior decision Making found
that waiting for uncertain news can leadto increase anxiety levels. Obviously, this
is being prolonged periods of waiting withoutclear resolution can heighten these uncertainty. Then
it says it can add to forthe second on its frustration and in patience.

(29:48):
It says chronic first station and patientshave adverse effects on mental health potential,
leading to irritability, move swings,and decrease overall well being and um
okay, And then the third one, which I really like. Oh,
I'm gonna get into the I'm gonnado the fourth one first, and then
the third because I want to speakon the third the fourth one and go
back. So the fourth one isdelay gratification and resilience. Waiting also can

(30:12):
present an opportunity for delay gratification,which involves voluntary postponing and media rewards for
long term benefits. Research have shownthat individual higher levels of self control and
the abilities to the delay gratification tendto have better mental health outcomes, and
this helps with self discipline. Butthis is the one I really like.

(30:33):
Perceived lack of control waiting often involvesa sense of reduced control over a situation,
which can impact mental health. Astudy in the Journal of Personality and
Social Psychology found that perceived lack ofcontrol is associated with increased psychological distress,
feeling helpless or powerless. Doing waitingperiods can contribute to other ements vealth issues.

(30:56):
Now, this is the one Ilike the most because I'm a arm
believer. I'm a thousand per centsure that God will put you in positions
to where you have no choice butto know to see that you're not in
control, especially when you're a controlfree and I know when me, when

(31:17):
certain things haven't happened yet, Ihave to catch myself and say, well,
it must not be time yet,because this is industry plan, right.
So if you go put the seatin the ground tomorrow yesterday, and
then the next day comes and youtry to dig up and see where's of
that now and you don't see nothing, You're gonna be like, what's going
on? It wasn't ready yet,so you's it's hard to look at that

(31:37):
like that for most people. Butat this point, where are you with
your with the spirit of control.I had a conversation earlier today with one
of my one of my friends,and I've just now learned to accept that
it's just a like, it's noteven really like you were never in control

(32:04):
and your brain is just like Idon't know, deceiving you into believing that
you are because you know how todo some things, but you are never
in control of like your life andyour situations and all that stuff. You
do have free will, but likeultimately God is in control, and once
you accept that, like then itwill become a lot easier for you to

(32:25):
like move forward in making decisions andstuff like that. But I went through
I'm currently still in a season oflike like just giving it over to God,
Like Okay, I'm done trying tocontrol it because I don't know.
It's like like whenever you're driving andthen you know it's a little a little
water pottle right there and you kindof hydro plane in a little bit.

(32:46):
It's like if you just like justchiet real quick, you're gonna be good.
But I had to accept that,Like that's that was the biggest and
the hardest thing for me to doin this season of my life. Well
now seeking a hydro plane. Iremember some years ago, I was my
car started hydro planning, and myfriend, he was my humbley, he
was in a car with me,and then after we got back on our

(33:07):
feet, he started laughing. Hesaid, I wish you could have seen
how you look. He said youlook like Batman because he said, yeah,
I was like this, and youknow, if anybody know Batman,
that's how he'd be looking when he'dbe driving a badmobile. M okay,
good stuff. So now, obviouslywith industry plan, when we think of
a real industry plan, we hearthat term when they just talking about these

(33:30):
people in the industry. You know, they talk about the little nas xs,
the Billy Eilishes and like the Theyeven say ice spice. And for
those who don't know the actual definitionof industry plan, it's basically I'm giving
you the spark Notes. I gavethe actual definition last week, but this
is the Sparks So that means youneed to go watch it to see if
you want to hear my protect onthat. But I'm the spark Notes version

(33:52):
is basically somebody who's putting this placeand they have a strong backing. So
typically when we think of industry playingthe I'm gonna give my spiritual depth revelation
of it. But the original wasbasically these people who are pushed by industry
um in the music industry typically andthey're pushed by somebody to push a certain

(34:13):
agenda. Now if we know how, we'll just call it what it is.
We know how the devil works.He's the counterfeit, so he does
whatever. So if he's doing something, I mean, God has an original.
And so my revelation of industry playing, especially for people like you and
um many others, but definitely evenmyself, is that I'm put in a
certain position in a certain industry toyou know, talk about how good he

(34:37):
is and what he's done and andand and encourage um these principles in a
unique, you know, in differentway. So even with you being an
influencer, we got a bunch ofthose. Again, there's nothing wrong because
it's a million and one podcasts,but I can honestly say nobody's like me,
and I got the receipts to proveit. So what can you say

(35:00):
as an influencer and a Christian influencer, what can you say that you're doing
that no one else sees. I'musing real world analogies like modern day analogies
to bring the word to life,like not that it isn't living already,
but you know, to some peoplewho don't understand it, Like if you

(35:23):
watch my videos, I know youare on some form of electronic device,
so like I can use I likepray, God, can you please give
me a message about phone? Andthen I'm like boom, Like it may
not come right then, but youknow, it may be weeks later.
And then like I know this personis watching this on the phone, so
like while they're watching the video,they're also looking at the phone and putting

(35:45):
themselves into the message. And Iwant it to be you know, I
feel like whenever you actually sharing theWord of God, like if you're sharing
it in a good way, you'resharing it and you're putting a person into
it, like if you go tochurch, you know, the church services
or I feel like they're talking toyou, Like that's the ones that you
want to keep going back to.So I always want to make sure that

(36:05):
I'm including them in the message thatI'm giving. And I don't feel a
lot of people doing that. Theyjust come on and they're like, don't
scroll, don't scroll, don't scroll, and I'm like, oh my God,
like that makes you want to scroll, you know, so uh yeah,
I feel like that's what kind ofseparates me from a lot of people
who are also in the same fieldas me okay, And um, I
was about to ask you something else. Um, so you're doing the influence

(36:31):
and do you plan out? Yousaid you didn't plan even being here,
so that's how you know it wasa divine set up? Do you and
again reveal what you want because I'mall for keeping privacy because I don't less
things that they can be attacked.Um, what else do you want to
do along with this? Um?Yeah, so my dream my goal.

(36:53):
Um, I'll actually share this withyou because it's kind of a big part
of why I am who I am. But my dream has always been to
be a motivational speaker. Like that'salways been my goal. And Eric Thomas
has been like my absolute favorite personto watch through a process because obviously ET

(37:14):
the hip hop preacher and he's thenumber one motivational speaker on the planet,
but he also is like he hasa firm foundation in his faith and that's
what he speaks about. So growingup like eleven years old, I think
it's whenever I started, but likeI would just like there were times where
I would not listen to music formonths and I'm just listening to interviews and

(37:37):
I'm listening to ET speak and thingslike that, and like I would sit
there at night and I'll be upto like three o'clock in the morning it's
a school night, and I'm justlistening to people's speak. Like That's always
been something that's intrigued me. So, you know, I just asked God
if he could bless me with opportunitiesto speak, and I did get those
throughout school and stuff. And Inever thought that I would get to this

(37:59):
point. But et is now someonethat I can I can text like whenever
I want, if I have aquestion, if I have a concern,
and I can just text me belike, hey, what do you think
about this or whatever? I'm goingthrough this And most of all, I
don't abuse that relationship, but itis something that I value and UM,
you know, I think him mostof the time instead of just asking for

(38:21):
things from and stuff. But Iwant to be a motivational speaker and I
want to do what you doing oneday, man, Um, I feel
like, you know, obviously thepodcast world has many different avenues, but
you know, just being able tobring people on and hear them speak as
well as something that I'm interested in, well, definitely, UM, and
I definitely think you can do that. You know, you definitely can speak

(38:42):
the gift is there. I've seenthat on the Instagram. I laugh when
I see him only because it's funnybecause like I can't see people's niche.
And that's why I asked you.I said, I'm surprised you ain't got
your black video because you do thaton purpose, right right? Yes,
absolutely, yeah, Okay, youdo that on purpose in the dark room.
So it's like it's just funny becauseit's like I just laugh at stupid
stuff, Like I think it's stuffstupid. So like I look at like

(39:06):
you were like, hum, Igotta make me wear my hoodie likes ye,
And that's funny because it's just likeit's just so I just laughed at
stuff like that, Like Nope,can't do the video. My hoodie ain't
playing exactly though. So let's getback into the plant aspects. So the
process of germination, which is thenext stage after you planted to see we

(39:29):
talked about to see last week,and just a quick just aum which you
just want you to listen to lastweek as well if you haven't already,
but a quick like love recount oflast week what we was talking about playing
the seed and the overall story wastelling people, um, if you just
struggle, if you struggle with youknow, started with new beginnings, this
is for you. Because a lotof people do that. And again when

(39:50):
we're talking about this transition season,people are hesitant on stuffing new beginnings.
And shout out to my home girlbecause she talked about her story about how
she had been teaching all these shewas in a real bad accident. Now
she literally has to begin again.And she's me and her the same age.
She's twenty nine, and it's justlike, you know, we're taught,
unfortunately, society teachers that once you'retwenty five you should be married with

(40:13):
kids or you know, you don'thave no you got a little time before
they start judging you. But youknow, they tried to like, you
ain't married with kids, what you'redoing. You you ain't gotten your career,
what you're doing. And that's notnecessarily case. But I gotta listen
to last week. So anyway,second part development and germination, and this
marks the beginning of a plant's lifecycle. It typically starts with the seed.

(40:34):
Last week, as we're talking aboutcontaining the embry of a plant coming
into contact. Watched this with favorableconditions such as moisture option is suitable temperature.
As a result, the seed absorbsthe water, triggering biochemical changes within
it. This leads to the activationsof enzymes which breakdown stored nutrients such as
starch, into simpler forms that thegrowing embryo can utilize. This early stage

(40:58):
of plant development, specifically German nationand the emergence phase. So it's so
many you know, I'm a worseman. So it's so many words in here
I want to break down. Sothe first one I want to break down
is or something about favorable, favorableconditions, and so when you're planted,
favorable positions, so these is ayou in that season of waiting, there
are gonna be stuff that's gonna happenthat our favorite well also about bass stuff,

(41:22):
but it's always good stuff that happenstoo in that season of wait.
And in some cases I think thoseexamples here, I got to hold on
women because I'm gonna lose it.You got. It's those seasons of wait
where something comes and then it givesyou like you ain't ready to emerge just
yet, but it's it's helping youwith the emergence because I look at it
like this where he kind of givenme hints of things that's gonna happen.

(41:44):
And that's how God to give youhints of stuff that's gonna happen, and
you get the little practice before youget to the real thing. And I
didn't host it, you know,a panel virtual panel for man of Shout
out to man of Global based outof Saint Louis for their mental health awareness
conversation. I hosted covi is overnow what or maybe what a year or
so ago where I was basically thehost of a panel of people. And

(42:06):
if you can't do that stuff,how you gonna get on Revolt and Complex?
If you can't do this? Youknow what I'm saying. I saw
something on Revolt the other day.I was watching somebody forgot who I was
watching, and they were talking abouthow these people, how Revolt especially intentionally
reaches out and grabs people who hastheir own unique views because we don't want

(42:28):
to change their views. They wantthem to have their views, and that's
where they like to showcase different peoplewith different opinions hosting these shows. And
so the favorable that's a favorable conditionor how a podcaster who you know I'm
putting myself on blast every but youknow I do that reached out to me,
this dude who've been keeping up withme, telling me, keep inspiring,
keep inspiring. This man podcast hassuper super surpassed in mind as far

(42:51):
with numbers and things. And hetells me out of nowhere, he says,
Hey, I just wanted to letyou know, keep doing what you're
doing. You inspire me. WhenI first started going shout out Charles Hawkins
other big dog podcasts. They're goingcrazy right now, he tells me,
says, you know, keep doingwhat you're doing. You know you inspired
me. When I first started gettingin the podcast, I was studying your

(43:14):
stuff. And so when he saidthat, I paused because I'm thinking that
don't get it to us. Iknow my content is great, but you
studying me and you said, surpassedme. And I'm not no hater because
I'm gonna keep reposting y'all stuff.I keep seeing that people come up with
twenty k, thirty K stuff goingcrazy. I'm I'm gonna repost it because
again, like I said, andI said this, you know it's like

(43:34):
the error, like you're going back, You're thinking, you going backwards and
it seems that way, but reallyand not trying to make it a compare
and contrast, but you when yougo out, it's gonna be like nobody
can touch you. So I justthink that that's good. And then of
course I like the word emerges becausethat means it's like you coming out of
the all right. So now let'sgo into the next segment, which is

(43:58):
a time of um, what's whatI'm looking forward? Just kind of reminisce
all things, and this is theweekly sabbatical. So my question to you
is what happens when you feel asthough something is taken too long? What
do you do when you feel likesomething is taken too long and you get

(44:20):
in that phase which we all dowhen we feel like I should be doing
something right now? What do youdo when that happens? M I kind
of identify and critique my routine becausetypically whenever you whenever you rush something,
you ruin it. So I alwaystry to make sure that I'm doing something

(44:43):
different to get me out of thatmindset, whether it be um, Okay,
I'm waiting on this and it hasn'tcome yet, but what can I
do to progress towards it? Oryou know, help myself at least,
you know, try to move forwardand accomplishing this goal or this this dream
whatever where it is that I have, and you know, just trust God
with the rest of it. Sothe routine is a lot of times what

(45:06):
stops a lot of people from success. It's like you getting started at nine
am and you're like, okay,I started, I had an early day,
and somebody'd been going since six thirty. So, um, you know,
just trying to trying to articulate andcultivate my routine. Okay, now,
y'all, I said it wrong.I said the weekly sabbatical, but
I meant I challenged that, Sowe kept the question the same. But

(45:28):
I killed the wrong button. Mybad. Okay, that's all right.
So where I challenged that, herecomes a new we don't get to a
weekly sobatograph to this. But whatI challenged that this segment is deemed to
kind of just to get the debategoing and go against what we're trying to
preach. So if I'm trying topreach telling y'all yall need to wait,
what happens when you say, well, I can't wait. So let's give

(45:51):
some examples of that. And thisis based obviously I've researched, so I
study publishing the Canadian Medical Association Journaltalked about medical waiting times and this is
a time where it is hard towait with long procedures and when there's delayed
access to healthcare systems, and thiscan affect you know, your physical mental
wealth being, especially if say,for instance, because you know, if

(46:12):
you go to the emergency room unlessyour head and your and your own you
ain't getting in. But what ifyou got stabbed and they have to treat
that won't and they don't that thatcould lead to death. So there's that's
a situation which leads to the nextone, which is emergency response services.
And then the third one, whichI like, is waiting for mental health
support says in context of mental health, long wait times for excess and mental

(46:36):
health services, therapy of counsel andconnectively affect individuals. Researched by Mental Health
America found that the United States andthe United States, fifty six percent of
adults with mental illness then not receivemental health services due to various factors,
including one, long wait times andlimited ability, availability and ability of the
people. Now, I think that'sinteresting because there was a time with what

(47:01):
people weren't going. Now people tryingto go and these lines is ridiculous,
which I do believe of course theawareness and people are getting you know,
talking about it more. But Ialso know for a fact COVID had a
lot to do with that because Kobewas having people crazy because it was either
you was dying from the virus orhe was dying because of mental stuff.

(47:23):
The fourth one is waiting for legalproceedings. Lengthy wait times for legal proceedings,
such as coherence or trials, canhave negative effects on individuals and legal
matters. Waiting for resolution can resultin prolonged stress, financial burdens, and
emotional strain. While specific statistics onthe top of our colors related to legal
way times may these scarce, studieshave shown a correlation between legal delays and

(47:46):
increased psychological distress. You couldn't payme to be Tory Lanes right now.
And this whole megan a stay case. So anybody who waiting to go to
jail like either sending me or letme go, like just get it out
the way. Yeah, I couldn'tsee myself doing that. Now you have
a large audience. You made itclear how you stay true to your message.

(48:10):
Have you ever put out some contentthis get will getting messing and you
was like, why I post that? M I R I don't think I
have on this platform, like likesince I've gotten this platform, but like,
so it's just crazy. So Iat the beginning of the year,

(48:32):
I deleted all of my social media'sand I created new ones. Um so
on my old ones, yes,it was stuff like why would you post
that? And I played like collegesports and all of this stuff in high
school and getting recruited by coaches,and that's whenever somebody they hit me with
that, that go to saying likeif you wouldn't want your future employers seeing

(48:54):
it, why would you post it? And so it's certainly I mean just
posting your feelings on the internet.I mean, if you do it,
that's fine. But for me,I'm like, no, that's that's a
log like if it gets it justI don't know. It just kind of
cringes me out when somebody gets somad, like you're mad enough to go
to Facebook and type it out,and then that makes you feel better,

(49:16):
like what happened throughout your day,like it's gonna be okay. You don't
have to go to the internet untilthem what happened? Man, So you
learned early seeing me all through myearly twenties, I was cutting up.
I was cutting up, So youI'm glad you got the earlier I was.
I was on fire, and notin a good way, especially because

(49:38):
back when I was in twenty oneand that was still Snapchat era. I
mean, Snapchat ror still here.But if you still on Snapchat, no
shakee. You either young, youeither a scammer, or you doing some
type of porn stuff. Yeah.Yeah, it's just very it's dying for
sure. Yeah. Yeah, Ididn't need to stay there, but I

(50:00):
think that's interesting and it's good toknow. Like I said my Twitter,
I had an original Twitter, andI said this before and I'm saying this
again. I actually said this twoweeks ago. I'm easy bake oven now.
But back in the day, Iwas opencast get sharp, And anybody
who knows me knows opencas get sharpand easy beak oven is two different people.
Yeah, so I had actually intwenty nineteen, I had to lead

(50:23):
it the opencaskeet Sharp Twitter and remadean easy bag othern one and I had
redid my Facebook too, because Ihad watched this video from this lady shout
out to coach Leva. I talkedto her in the long time, and
she was talking about how it wasaround the time Kevin Hart and Cardie B
had got exposed for saying of doingsomething, and she said she's not gonna

(50:45):
let it make it easy for somebodywho's demonically influenced, because you know,
we live in an exposing world.So she's like, you're gonna have to
really try your hardest to expose me. And she had kind of released like
kind of like a prophetic word talkingabout thanks for the memories of the old
stuff that you used to do.And so that was when I had got
the revelation to delete my Twitter andredo it, and to relieve my Facebook

(51:05):
and redo it. I actually havejust recently allowed my Twitter to be destroyed
them dramatic, but I allowed myTwitter to be removed completely and I'm not
going to remake another one. Andmy Instagram, I don't know if I
need not. My PSA Instagram willstay, and my YouTube is fine,
and my TikTok is fine, butI don't know if like should I maybe

(51:28):
delete my old my Instagram, myperson wanted to restart it because I really
am wondered if I'm shadow bad,Like I was really wondering, but I
don't know it. It's because peoplesay they don't see my stuff, so
I don't know stuff to think aboutit. Now, let's actually moving to
now for real and now I wasplaying earlier that was pump faking the real
weekly sabbatical and now this is thetime to reflect in things. So now

(51:52):
you grew up in Northeast Texas,how is your upbringing in your faith impacted
your perception of success and patience isseeing results? Um, it's actually kind
of worked in reverse from what Iwas taught. So I was raised my
family that had great faith in everything, and even my father, my dad.

(52:15):
This is important, I guess towho I am as well. My
dad was actually sentenced to twenty yearsto life in prison the day that I
started crawling, so I was likeeight or nine months old, and so
he taught me a lot just kindof going through that and he's actually out
now and we have a great relationshipwe always have. But I was kind

(52:38):
I was kind of taught to,you know, just do what what normal
people do, like, you know, believing God, have faith in God,
go to school, work hard,and you know, basically retire sixty
years old. You lived a greatlife. And I didn't want to lie.
I'm sorry. I was always theone out of my family who I

(53:00):
didn't mind getting criticized for doing likethe lame stuff or whatever you want to
call it. Like, I didn'tmind. I don't care what you think
about me. I would go likeI would the people always talk about like
the the Ugo and the Pokemon kidsat school. I would go sit with
them and just like talk to them, and you know, like because I

(53:21):
really you really don't know how what'ssomebody going through? Like, and I
was I was, I guess identifiedas a popular kid in school. I
mean we didn't even have that manykid I graduated with like forty two people
in high school, so um,like just being able to include everybody and
people like, bro, you reallytalking? I'm like, yes, why
won't you talk to them? Youknow they you really never know? So

(53:43):
I was. I just had tolearn and reverse like unlearned some of the
things that I was taught because Ididn't want to live a normal life.
And that's fine if you're a regularperson, but I don't want to live
a regular life, like I wantto do stuff that I see Steve Harvey
doing and like people that are myage, and I want to do the
things that you want to put onTV, not just like going to work
and getting off going like that typeof stuff. Well, and I believe

(54:06):
in this, especially in these timeswe're in now that we're gonna see a
lot of people on these platforms andin these industries that you wouldn't have seen
many years ago. Because I feellike it's a grace for it and so
but it's just on some like whenyou get to that position, don't forget,
you know. And I didn't seentoo many people humbled. I refuse

(54:27):
to be a purpose. That's whyI keep saying, let me stay grounded.
I don't want to have to gethumbled. I don't want to have
to get humbled. I do notwant to be like you know, because
people that lose themselves a lot oftimes it's you know, the outside influences
of course, like the drugs andalbum you know, if you don't do
that, not saying you still can'tbe influenced, but you know, it's
that those are a lot of thereasons why and then people would do anything

(54:50):
for fame. Oh my gosh,Yes, they'll do anything for fame.
And it's just like I'm you know, like I said, I started my
podcast, how I went it withlike the mental health aspect and me just
wanted a platform for people to expressdifferent perspectives even if they didn't agree.
Nobody think I was gonna do that. Like when I did it, people
was like they thought I was gonnacome out, especially back then, they

(55:13):
thought I was gonna be on someuh Charlemagne joke, just just talking crazy,
just going in everybody, and youknow what I've had been on by
now, probably, But I wouldhave been that person, which I said
on my Instagram as a joke,like I'd be like, I can't wait
to get on and see what celebrityI'm gonna beefed up with. I'm not
gonna beefed up with nobody because I'mnot going back and forth with you.

(55:35):
It was the time I would belike I said I was gonna get I
said I said as a joke,I said I was gonna get on.
I can't wait to get on Instagramlive and tell everybody tapping in while I'm
screaming it's spitting going in on oneof these people that didn't tried me.
But yeah, that's funny. Thenpeople are crazy. I refused to be
that person. It's funny to watchthough. Yeah. Um okay, So

(55:58):
when we talk about waiting again,if you struggle with waiting and you really
don't know how to go about itand you need some extra motivation, I've
got you. So I'm gonna namesome tips that I've done research on,
and my board, Jason here isgonna kind of agree or disagree and add
anything he wants to add. Allright, So Broke talked about a little
bit earlier in the episode practice delaygratification. Delay gratification first ability to resist

(56:22):
immediate rewards in favor of larger,longer term rewards. Research publishing a Journal
of Personality and Social Psychology has shownthat the practicing delay gratification can enhance patients
one where the practice, by intentionallydelaying small rewards, are working towards long
term goals. So I look atthat when the first thing I think of

(56:43):
easily, and then my brain Ialways uses weight and analogies. So like
if you have a cheat day everySaturday, try to make maybe your cheat
day, every other Saturday, somethinglike that, just so that instead of
trying to, you know, rewardthat soon because or if you say,

(57:04):
for instance, you can't wait thatlong. Maybe you had two cheat days
out of a week, trying toget us to just one. Just something
like that, to where it's likeit's really worked it, or you know,
just stuff like that. The secondone we talked about empathy a few
weeks ago. Practice empathy, cultivatedempathy towards others can enhance patients by helping
others understand different perspectives and challenges.Research published in the Journal of Positive Psychology

(57:27):
suggests that empathy can lead to increasepatients and take and understand it take time
to actively listen to others, considertheir viewpoints, and then practice empathy in
our interactions. I understand in somecases that that's hard to do with some
people, because some people refuse tosee anybody else's perspective. But I was
having a conversation with somebody I knewrecently, and they were talking about this

(57:49):
impression that people got from them,and they were like, well, I
don't give that impression. I say, you don't think you give that impression.
But if everyone is saying it doesn'tmean it's true, but it's something
you're doing that's triggering people to thinkthat. Yeah. I love this one.
It says break tasks into smaller stepssometimes and patients arises film feelings of

(58:13):
overwhelmed by large tasks or goals.It says, focus on once ap bet
the time, and you can feelthis sense of progress and accomplishment. So
he talked about crawling earlier. Yougotta crawl before you walk, yes,
and you can't just jump up.You can't be a baby just start running.
Your baby that start running, youknow, you some baby off of
resident Evil. But you gotta,you know, crawl first, and then

(58:36):
it's last one. I like itsays seeks social support. Surrounding yourself with
supportive network can provide encouragement to helpyou stay patient during challenging times. Blogs
and articles often emphasize the importance ofseeking social support when struggling with patience,
sharing your experiences, seeking advice,or simply venting to trusted individuals. Now,

(58:57):
that's I think that's great too.Don't be afraid to talk to people
on social media. Of course,gaze to people first, because you just
people be weird. But we'd alwayssay people be weird on social media,
but it'd be a lot of coolpeople too. Yeah. Yeah, because
I didn't met a lot of peopleon social media and it ain't be really
cool in real life. I'm like, damn you cool. Of course,
I mean weird those two. ButI mean I was laughing because I've made

(59:17):
a post Nobody believe me my Instagramis are right my story, especially people.
But I made a post of thedeath said when people meet me in
person for the first time, Isaid, they cried because I'm too good
to be true. Oh all myfriends, was like, you don't.
Some where I sitting like y'all hatingon me. But all right, So

(59:40):
for my people, my young millenniumswho are struggling to see progress, you
love the Lord, you love Jesus, right, how can your relationship with
Jesus guide them into maintaining their perseveranceand trusting their journey? The first thing
is, I mean, obviously itgoes hand in hand with God in man,

(01:00:06):
like, stop hating on other peoplejust because you're not there. Like
so many times people ask me aboutwhether they be influencers or other famous people
that I have had the opportunity tomeet or you know that kind of identify
with the same things as me.I'm not gonna say any names, but
like they want you to. Theykind of want you to say something bad

(01:00:28):
about that person because that's how theyfeel like they wanted the same type of
I don't even know the word ideaor like entertainment from it, Like what
do you think about this person orwhat do you think about this topic?
I'm like, and they just hateit because I'd be like I love them,
like I love them, I lovethem, and they're like, what
you think that. I'm like,that's them. Like they got to take
that up with God. So thefirst thing is just you know, it's

(01:00:51):
hard to be ungrateful and show gratitudeat the same time. Like whenever you
feel like, man, I'm tryingto progress and nothing is working, just
about where you were, and likewrite it down, like write down everything
that has happened from that point.You might write down one thing, but
guess what six months ago you didn'tyou wouldn't have written down anything. So
that's still something to be grateful for, you know, So, and just

(01:01:13):
wake up every day. You ain'tgot to always ask God for something.
Whenever you're praying, just thinking forwhat you do have, Like, yeah,
you're gonna always want something more,but until you are grateful for what
you have, like that's whenever yourealize that all you have is all you
need for sure. And my lastquestion before we move into the final segment,
how does it feel when people becauseI know they do, I actually

(01:01:36):
have two questions? So how doesit feel? And you don't have to
you have to tell me one?Only one, but I'm gonna get asks
first. So how does it feelwhen people reach out to you thank you
for your content? It is ait's a it's a wonderful filling because I
feel as though it's more important forme to serve somebody else than to like,

(01:01:58):
I'm not trying to get your praise, Like I don't. I mean,
yeah, like God bless me tobe able to do certain things,
but like that's not, like Isaid, that's not why I'm doing it.
So when people do reach out tome, and I'm sorry if I
haven't gotten back to your DM andyou're watching this, but I probably get
probably get like twenty to twenty fivedms a day, and I try to

(01:02:19):
get back to some people. Butthen again they like they give them an
inch, they gonna take them out, you know. So, but it
is a wonderful feeling to know,like wow, it's actually like it impacted
somebody, because that was the goalthe whole time. What celebrity or person
of influence has reached out to youtelling you about your content? Just one?

(01:02:43):
Uh, I probably have to say, I don't oh man, just
one? Um that soundingly conceded.Let me show it's only one. Coco

(01:03:05):
Jones. Okay, yeah, welike Coco Jones. She's a nice person.
From what I've seen. I don'tknow, but she seems like a
nice person. Person, great person. Okay, cool, good stuff.
All right. So now let's moveinto the final segment, which is game
time. And in this game timeit's called keep it going and hang it

(01:03:31):
up. So I want you totell me whether or not I'm gonna name
a few scenarios, and I wantyou to tell me whether or not this
person should keep going keep waiting up. I might need to cut the cord,
all right, Yeah, all right, fourth mixtape and you're on your
eight and numbers and streams still looklike they did in your one. I'm

(01:03:57):
gonna say keep going because I heardsomebody it took them ten years to make
a million, okay, all right, Continuously putting out um content on Instagram
and your numbers go up daily,so it's kind of obvious. Yeah,
keep going, keep going. Tryingto start your music career in your forties

(01:04:20):
and you can. You can't getanybody to work manage you. I'm gonna
hang it up. I'm sorry,hang it up. Um. Constantly applying
for different jobs in the field yougraduated in but you have no but you

(01:04:42):
aren't getting any leads. Man,that's like, that's a perfect description of
myself. So I mean, honestly, hang it up. If I had
to give you like personal advice,I would say, hang it up,

(01:05:03):
because did you get your opinion?So yeah, hang it up? Hang
it up. Yeah, And anybody'salways anybody who disagrees or what would you
say in the game time say itlike, I don't care. That's the
point. Um, I'm gonna doone more, all right, Um,
I don't want to do one more? Yeah, do one more. Um.

(01:05:25):
Constantly trying to master cooking, buteverything you cook is nasty, and
people have told you several times it'snasty. Hang it up, Hang it
up. Nobody got time to beplaying with palettes, all right, So
simple question of challenge for the week. Make sure y'all are participating. How
do you plan to implement these waythe strategies moving forward? Because we gave

(01:05:49):
you several we're giving you as alwayswe give you. I'll give you my
research, I have the people tellyou what they do. We give like
actual you know, real life experience, and that's the main thing. And
I think it's even just doing thisepisode is even giving me more reassurance.
It's just a little patience just tohold on just a little longer, and

(01:06:10):
because I know what, it's alwaysgonna be worth the wait, and you
have the word of the episode iscliche because it is cliche just saying like,
oh, it's gonna be worth it'sgonna be where it is. It
is though, it's just you know, that's everything. So, um,
before we go, because I'm gonnaask them some stuff off camera, I'm
gonna ask y'all, but before wego, anything else you want to leave

(01:06:30):
with the people? Yes? Um, the biggest thing that I want to
leave with y'all is like if youjust stay consistent, like you can fail
fifty times and you get one winin you up for the rest of your
life. So like, don't worryabout the ailes right now, like,

(01:06:51):
just learn from them. Like Iknow, people say it like you said,
cliche, people say it all thetime. They not lost as their
lessons, but they only lessons ifyou're learning from him. So don't keep
taking the same ails over and overbecause if you just win once, you
probably won't have to worry about anythingever again in your life. Yeah,
and that's what happened to him.And look at him now, he twenty

(01:07:12):
one year old, his own bossman. It's crazy, all right,
y'all. So that is all wegot. This has been tracked two.

see that one. Got an interestingguest who has an interesting story. And
next week after this week, Sowe talked about first we see then we
got germination, and that next weekis the vegetation state where you start to

(01:07:38):
see the greening of the plant andyou start to kind of see the little
bit it still can't produce, butyou know it's still it's still it's like
the seedling part. So y'all haveto tune into that. So PSA signing
