Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, look at here.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
You are listening to someone who is bold, authentic, diverse, unpredictable. Baby,
I am unapologetically ramon and you have entered my zone,
the QB Zone.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Baby. Hello, somebody.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Rock ja?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Well hey theyre are you in perfect people? Yeah? I'm
talking to you and myself too.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
And listen, everyone else on this crazy planet, welcome to
today's episode where we're gonna dive into the wild world
of embracing our flaws.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
In hell, we're gonna have a blast while doing it.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Our life is full of ups and downs and different
journeys and experiences, and everyone has flaws. I feel like
we are imperfectly flawed. However, that doesn't mean that that
has to define us in a negative way.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
We can turn those bad boys around to being a strength,
you know.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So I want us to buck up because I want
us to share some oohs and ohs as we celebrate
flaws as usual. This is your bo walmar Keys, and
I thank you all for coming on down to the
QB Zone to support your board one more time. Listen,
you know that feeling when you trip over your own
feet in public, or when you snort laugh so hard
(01:54):
that your dream comes out your nose. Well, what if
I told you that those moments of perfection our funniest
hell to me, but are actually your secret superpowers. That's right, people,
listen today, I want to flip the script on flaws
and learn how to party with our quirks from hosting
(02:14):
and perfection parties to create a hilarious alter egos based
on our most embarrassing traits. I want to embark on
a journey that will have us high fiving our shortcomings
and turning our blunders into wonders.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
So get ready, listen.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
When it comes to our flaws, there's so many different
things we can do with them. We can have fun
with them. Like I said earlier, it's our superpower and
we can also have a lot of fun. I think
it's great when people embrace their flaws, don't take themselves
too seriously, and they can just laugh, like just have
a good old laughter that rolls up from your gut
(02:58):
and just.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Move on.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
One thing that I notice a lot of people do
is humor. You have a lot of comedians, a lot
of comedians that have made millions off of their flaws. Listen,
when you embrace 'em, can't nobody do anything to hold
'em against you. People can bring up they flaws, they
(03:24):
don't hurt your feelings. Hell Y, you know you f fat,
you know you dark as hell, You know you back,
bad skin, or you're short or like whatever you think
your flaws are.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
You already know about 'em. So people bringing or not
don't hurt you. Hell you y, you like 'em.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It has been very successful for people in that space,
the comedians. I also think beautiful art can be created
for our flaws, you know, beautiful paintings and sculptures and
technology graphics and things like that. You can really just
showcase personal flaws. It will positive life. It could really
(04:04):
be highly inspirational for creative projects.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
You know what I'm saying. Hell, if you're a writer,
if you're.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
A rapper, that's another avenue that you can go into
in regards to celebrating and making money off your flaws.
Whatever you think is a flaw, because I think a
lot of times we may look at certain features or
aspects of ourselves and say that's a flaw. But then
somebody else can love it, and I think that's a beautiful thing.
(04:36):
For more of a team building aspect, you can do
a perfectly imperfect challenge and just encourage people to share
their share their imperfections and share it.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
I think it's a.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Great team building exercise, it's a great bonding activity and
we just hey, we just celebrate each other's flaws. I
think a great way is it. It's kind of like
always looking at the civil aligning in a cloud. Okay,
so yeah, this is a flaw, but a wonderful way
to a wonderful exercises be could be okay, but how
(05:10):
can we change the verbiage to that being something positive
and powerful? I think also when you have flaws, depending
on what it is, you can have a signature style.
It could just be a part of you. It could
be something that makes you who you are, something that
people love about you. I think that's great. You can
(05:31):
definitely incorporate your flaws or your quirks into your personal
fashion or appearance. Heck end up starting a whole brand
and being successful that way. If you look behind, just
look at the backstory behind a lot of the brands
that we support, we will probably be surprised how some
(05:54):
of these brands came about. I definitely think that we
can find creative ways to use our imperfections gives me
to our advantage. I think a great way I mentioned
about reframing it to changing the ververse to see how
it can be positive. I think that's a great way
(06:14):
to also just turn our weakness into a strength. But
I think that's a great thing. You know, I mentioned
teb an exercise. You can definitely have imperfection inspired games
even amongst your friends. You can come up with all
kinds of games amongst your friends and your loved ones.
Imperfections make a scavenger hud. You can do a guess
(06:37):
who come up with certain qualities and talk about certain flaws,
and everybody has to decide who they think who in
the room they think that applies to. I think that's
a great option, a great game to do with your
friends and loved ones. I think when we can embrace
our flaws though, also it helps us to practice self
(06:58):
loved acceptance. Our flaws, our quirks, whatever you wanna cause them,
whatever you wanna call them.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It is a.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Reminder of individuality and I think that's very important, Drew.
We really all wanna be the same. And i'm'a say
for me, I love people who are a little quirky'll
look different as long as your difference don't make me
feel or uncomfortable or that I gotta be extra guarded
cause I don't wanna feel like you know, your quirkiness
(07:29):
or your your awkwardness fall on the category of you
give me psycho killer vibes, or you make me think
like if you pissed off on the wrong day theb
you come up here and shoot this whole place up.
I think another one is really having a victory over
your flaws when you come with an alter ego. I'm
(07:52):
pretty sure we've known many celebrities who have they love
alter ego, and we've found it endearing, We've loved it,
we've embraced it, we understand it because a lot of
times you do have people who, let's say they have
troubles with public speaking or just doing anything in front
(08:13):
of a crowd. A lot of times they gotta go
somewhere mentally and emotionally so they can be able to
push through it.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Different types of settings and environments.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
It makes people uncomfortable, like just uncomfortable to the point
where it's hard for even exist in some of these spaces.
But you gotta put your big boy big girl draws
on and you gotta you gotta go somewhere mentally push through,
especially if it's something you have to do for your
loved ones or.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
Professionally, you know, for your occupation.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
So I think that any kind of alter, ego whatever
allows you to move through positively, please embrace it, jump
at it, and don't let nobody tell you otherwise. One
of the things I do want to do is, like
I said earlier, that there are a lot of brands
(09:10):
that there are backstories too, where the whole existence came
about because of the quirks or flaws that someone felt
they had right.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
And so I wanted to do some research on just certain.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Examples that specifically fall in line with that type of concept,
and so I came up with I came across three
different experiences where individuals have, like I said, taking their
quirk or their flaws and used it for their advantage.
(09:49):
They embraced it, they celebrated it. They've turned that thing
around on his head and made it work for them.
And so this first work is called The Stammering Storyteller.
I'm repeat that again, The Stammering Storyteller. Lilah is the
(10:09):
name of the person in the story Lilah always struggled
with her stutter, often feeling self conscious when speaking in public.
One day, she decided to embrace her unique speech pattern
and start a YouTube channel where she told bedtime stories.
To her surprise, children loved her gentle, rhythmic way of speaking.
(10:33):
Her channel, Lilah's lullaby Tales became a hit, helping millions
of kids fall asleep to her soothing, stuttering voice. Lilah's
pursiving flaw became her trademark, larging a successful career in
children's entertainment. This next one is called the Clumsy Chef.
(11:00):
So Marco is our guy in this story. That's the
name of I Gott. In this story, Marco was notorious
for his clumbliness in the kitchen. Pots would clatter, ingredients
were spill, indishes, wire open, and just fall up all
over the floor.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Instead of giving up on.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
His clordary dreams, Marko decided to turn his mishaps into entertainment.
He started a cooking show called Calamity Kitchen, where he
taught simple recipes while embracing his clumsiness. Viewers found his
authenticity refreshing and hilarious. Marco's show went viral leading to
(11:43):
a best selling cookbook and a line of disaster proof
kitchen tools. This one is called the Forgetful Inventor, the
forgetful Inventor, so Sarah is our person here. Sarah had
always been forgetful, constantly misplacing her belongings and forgetting appointments.
(12:10):
Frustrated with her scattered mind, she channeled her energy into
creating a solution. Sarah developed a small smart home system
that used AI to track items, remind users of tasks,
and even predicted what they might forget next. Her invention,
(12:32):
born from her own struggles, became a game changer for
people with ADHD and memory issues. Sarah's company, Memory Minder,
is now a leader in the system of technology, all
because she embraced and problem solved her own flaws.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I think it's powerful. I think it's great.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
None of us are made perfect, but none of us
were made deficient. So what can we do when we
look at ourselves in the mirror, When we think of ourselves,
what don't we like or what do we think is
a quote unquote flaw? And why? Once we get out,
(13:20):
Once we move past the why and have a sense
of awareness, the next step is going to be how
how are you going to turn it around.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
To be your superpower? It's just that simple.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
We are too powerful, We are too amazingly made, and
we bring too much to the table to let anything,
whether we feel like it's a flaw or not, whether
we feel like people will judge us or not. We
are too powerful, too amazing to allow ourselves to hide
(13:55):
behind that, to allow ourselves to be treated differently, ostracized
because of that, or treated anything other than the best,
Because flaws and all, that's what we are. So what
I want to do is leave with the quote you
know how I get down. This quote is about a
man named Abraham Hicks, and it simply says this. You
(14:21):
are free, You are powerful, you are good, you are love,
you are value, and you have purpose all as well
Well, look at here.
Speaker 2 (00:03):

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
