going to be learning, and you know, I'm forever a student.
You know, people think that as a boss or a leader,
you got all the answers, and I look at it like, hey,
I'm always willing to learn. I don't care from what
(02:20):
the source is or what have you. So let's just
get it in.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
Yes, sir, Yes, sir, So real quick, do an intro
to the audience. Who you are, mister Larry, what you
got going on your podcast? All the great things that
you're doing right now?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Brother.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I am Larry Pinson. I go by LP. Primarily I
am a Firemedic CEO, which means I am a firefighter
paramedic and I'm also a CEO of a company called
Penson Pending Consultant Solutions LC. I started in firing MS
in twenty two thousand and seven, and I practice in
(02:57):
Saint Louis, Missouri. This is my hometown. That's where I'm from.
I retired from firing MS in twenty twenty, actually made
twenty twenty. After being on the front line as a
COVID paramedic. I moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, which is
where I reside now. And it'll be a year. This month,
I'll be celebrating my first anniversary of the creation of
(03:22):
this company, and so it's been a really, really, really
phenomenal ride.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
In this past year.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
We've done some phenomenal work, We've made some great connections,
and we have grown in many ways that I didn't
believe we.
Speaker 5 (03:41):
Were going to grow.
Speaker 6 (03:42):
Our primary focus when I created the company was to
help start up companies that needed help forming the LLC's
getting hr payroll manuals, created website development, social media uploads
and creating their platform, and various other things that we
(04:02):
have listed on our website. Since I still have an
active medical license, even though I'm not actively working on
an ambleance or on the fire truck, I decided to
use my consultation expertise to talk about a number of
issues that we're going to be covering today, and so
(04:22):
I've done I don't even know, I don't even keep counting.
I just I've on a lot of platforms talking about
different subjects, either pre hospital or as most people know
it as MS, mental health, active violent incidents, which most
people know of as active shooter hostile events, and we'll
(04:42):
talk about why that name is going to be changing.
I talk about men's issues from A to Z. I'm
getting ready to do a number of different podcasts. One
is going to be focusing on the men's health and
men's issues. One is going to to be focusing on
it's going to be a forefront focus, so we'll be
(05:05):
talking about sexual based offenses, human and sexual trafficking, excuse me,
domestic violence, and missing persons. Now, most of those are
going to be focused on women because a lot of
those issues happen to women, but will include men on
that too because these four things happen within two men.
(05:27):
We also talk about just a bevy of issues that
touch our community, specifically in the black and brown community.
I deal a lot with diversity education. Also, we're going
to be talking about steam, so science, technology, engineering, arts
and mathematics, and just some other things that we're going
(05:49):
to be incorporating into the company. So that's just kind
of the little Cliff nos version. Like I said, we
can deep dive into any subject, good, beat or ugly.
Let's talk man, you with being a firefighter. To that, man,
I'm pirt of you.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Man. You a natural born hero.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
You know that because I tell people all the time, Man,
being a firefighter, it takes courage to go into a
branding building.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
I'll tell you that and shout out to you.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Man.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Just moving on, moving forward, and just continued to set
the stage for younger brothers coming up. Man, because again,
my son wanted to be a firefighter. Man, So shout
out to you. Shout out to you, my brother. So
what what's your passion?
Speaker 6 (06:25):
Like?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
What drives you?
Speaker 6 (06:27):
Like?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
What's your feel what drives you to be successful? Like?
What what feeds your hunger?
Speaker 6 (06:34):
My hunger is feared by I am an info maniac
and they I used to have that on my Instagram
that was under my little profile name info Maniac. And
anybody that knows me knows that I'm always reading. I
got books over here. You don't even see all the books.
I'm like, I'm surrounded by books. And so I'm always
(06:57):
seeking knowledge. I'm constantly searching online for different bits of information,
but books you can't get away from.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
And I grew up in Saint Louis, Missouri.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
My education started at a Catholic school and it was
primarily black and brown kids that went to this Catholic
school on the west side of Saint Louis. It's not
I think they changed the name and they moved it
into North Saint Louis County. But our focus was on phonics,
which you don't hear a lot about that now. You know,
(07:31):
everybody knows about hooked on Fondlings, but we actually did phonics.
I went there from first grade to sixth grade, and
so a lot of the things that I'm passionate about
comes from learning. And I grew up being a computer nerd.
So when the Atari twenty six hundred came out, I
don't know if you were old enough to remember that,
but that was the first home video game system. So
(07:53):
all these kids that got these PS fives and all
this stuff, the very first home video game system was
the tore twenty six and I was hook So I
spent a lot of time learning about technology, and from
my adulthood through the age of thirty seven. That was
my professional career. I worked in fortunate five hundred companies.
(08:17):
I was doing network and hardware support. I was building
computers from scratch, upgrading, just a bunch of different things.
And so when geek Squad came out, I got upset
because I was doing exactly what geek Squad was doing,
going to do home visits. I had a number of contracts.
I was doing a lot of work for people that
(08:37):
I knew in their homes and so, but this was
maybe five years before Squad became a company part of
best Buy. My hunger also stems from wanting to help people,
you know, And that's why I got into EMS and
then later fire. And I didn't spend a lot of
(08:57):
time in Fire because I got I got hired at
the fire department that I worked for in twenty nineteen,
and then in twenty twenty, when the pandemic happened, I
ended up retiring after working five months in the pandemic.
Speaker 5 (09:14):
And we'll talk about that transition.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
All right, all right, I like that.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I like that, man, So you're definitely doing great things, man,
definitely doing great things, you know. Going to the audience,
how we met man on Clubhouse and you know, coming
into the clubhouse room and just motivating other people and
just inspiring others.
Speaker 5 (09:34):
Brother, you know, being in clubhouse is being really amazing.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
I am still new the Clubhouse, so when people say PTR,
I'm like, what's that?
Speaker 5 (09:45):
You know?
Speaker 6 (09:45):
I got in the Clubhouse back in December of last
year and it was just something. I was like, Oh,
I've heard of this, but I knew there were a
lot of celebrities that were starting to get in on it.
I was like, let me just check it out. And
so from that point, I've made a number of connections
and partnerships.
Speaker 5 (10:06):
I've learned a lot.
Speaker 6 (10:07):
I'm still learning. And one thing that I learned that
was a very valuable lesson is it's not just about
a social media platform. It's actually where business gets transacted.
It is where people network and collaborate and partner.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Like what.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
We're doing the ten K card, the digital business card.
I mean that in.
Speaker 6 (10:33):
And of itself is phenomenal and I was so glad
that I was able to find out about that and
utilize it for my business. You know, buying these paper
cards from these various companies. I won't name them because
they're a valuable company, their valuable business.
Speaker 5 (10:50):
And if you want to use paper cards, that's fine.
Speaker 6 (10:53):
But the ten K cards that you and I have
just make you even more legit in a tech logical world,
and it makes it easier to give people your information
about your service, your products, your business. And everybody has
a cell phone, so exactly, there you go, all the
informations there. You can upload it, you can update it.
(11:17):
It's just a great resource, exactly.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And one thing I want to tell you, and one
thing I want to I want to say, man, you
are a celebrity.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
Man.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
We all are celebrities.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And you know, I don't look at celebrities as celebrities
because we all beleeve red. You know. They just have
a different mindset and we can have the same mentality
as them. You know, we all celebrities in our own
unique way. Because think about that, Jesus Christ himself wasn't
born average, you know, so we wasn't born to be average.
It was born to be great. So LP my man,
(11:49):
you are celebrity now only that.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Man.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
You you a firefighter, You did mms like you save
live you save souls, you know, so you are a
celebrity man. I tell you, tell you something every single.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
You know, I appreciate that. And like I said, most
of my career was focused on EMS, so I don't
look at myself in that light. I look at myself
as an individual. It's kind of like Liam Neese's his
character from taking when he was on the phone with
the guy that kidnapped his daughter.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
I got a certain set of skills, you know.
Speaker 6 (12:26):
I've been trained, I've been licensed, I've been certified.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
I have a passion for helping people.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
I want to be in the right place at the
right time in these emergency situations to utilize that still,
that training, that knowledge. You know people call us ambulance
drivers still, which is really a slap in the face.
As a paramedic, I know how valuable being a first
(12:57):
responder is. When the pandemic had happened. You know, everybody
that was an EMS. All paramedics are EMTs, but not
all EMTs or paramedics. However, being an MT, being a paramedic,
being a firefighter, being a police officer, being somebody that
(13:17):
works in healthcare, we are essential workers.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
And we started getting a respect.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Almost as much, if not more than we got after
nine E left. My wife bought me this plaque that
she has hanging in her office and it says all
superheroes don't wear capes, and it has the MS Star
of Life logo on it. And she bought it for
me because after attending a Clinical Save Banket.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
Award which I had won, one of the ones that
I won.
Speaker 6 (13:51):
She sat there and she saw all of the people
that were awardees and how not only the award e
were there, some of the family members and some of
the patients whose lives were saved showed up and spoke
about what that individual and those individuals who saved their lives,
(14:14):
what it meant to them. And so when I talk
about fire or MS, I talk about how we are
changing lives. It's not just about saving lives, because every
call is not a life saving call, you know, and
so it's not like what you see on TV. Everybody's
not dying or dead. I look at myself as just
(14:37):
a public servant, and as a business owner, I transitioned
that public service over into my business mindset. I'm still
a public servant. What can I offer you? It's goods
and services, supply and demand. And that's why my company
was created as a consultant firm because we can so
(15:00):
on a lot of different things in a lot of
different areas. I don't look at myself as a hero.
I look at myself as somebody that's willing to help
my fellow human beings.
Speaker 5 (15:13):
I like that.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I like that.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I mean, man, you're still great and you're still phenomenal
lp man, And like I say, he's still a celebrity. Man,
you gotta tell yourself that, you know, whatever the mind
can't conceive, and believe the mind will achieve, you know,
and you know, if you believe in greatness, greatness will
come you away.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You're doing great things, man.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
And I tell people all the time when you bless others,
there's always a bigger blessing the monkey. Man, You've been
blessing a lot of people through the work you've been
doing throughout life. And you know, and I tell people
all the time, Man, that God watching.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
That and he's seeing that, you know.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
And we just got to embrace being royal because we
was boring royalty, you know what I mean. So, like
I said, Christ himself was born royal, Jesus was born
real disciples walking across the desert, breating gifts. Like so
like we was born of greatness, man, were born to
you know, we deserve to be happy, We deserve what
(16:11):
we want in life, you know, and we just gotta
go after it.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Man, you're doing that. And again, like I said, you're
a celebrity.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
That's why when I come on to Apple clubhouse and
you know, crime comes in the room, a lot of
people coming around, Oh man, celebrities in the room.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Guys tap in with them.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Not because we all regular people, I mean, not regular people,
but we all we all we all well to look
we all extraordinary people, you know what I mean. We
all extraordinaratey people doing great things, you know. And that's
how I look at it. Man, we're extraordinary.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
We're not scared to step out in our dreams. We're
not scared to you know, fit out. You know, we're
not we don't want.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
To fit in. We're not scared to be our true selves,
you know.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
And that's that's a special about us, man, Like you're
not scared to be yourself. Like you come on clubhouse
and people who are down and out, you'll come in.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
You do your thing, you say, LPR you know you're motivated.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Man.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
So like I said, Man, that's that's the blessing. When
you bless others, that's always a bigger blessing coming your way.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
There's a story behind it, and I just tell you
real quickly about thirty seconds. The story behind it is
when I was working on an ambulance, I would encounter
people in their worst moments. And again, everything is not
life and death. And most of your calls or BS
(17:34):
calls or OS calls, so bull s or os, you know.
And when I would get calls, any patient that I
encountered was not just my patient, it was the family members,
the bystanders, other first responders that were on the scene.
I treat everybody like they're my own family. You know.
(17:57):
When you hear people say, hey, if my little when
it's in the hospital, to treat that person like there
to President, that was my mindset because I want to
have the same mentality of care that I give just
as much as if I was a patient. I want
to get that same level of care even though I
don't have that particular title. And so when someone comes
(18:19):
on clubhouse in one of these rooms that we frequent
and they're having some trouble or they're down or what
have you, I feel like let me step in and
throw in a couple of words of encouragement because this
is part of and we'll talk about this, this is
part of what's going on in our world mental health crisis.
(18:42):
Mental health crisis is the world's oldest continuous pandemic that's
been around since day one, and it affects all of us.
We have got to get back to our humanity. So
if I can give a word of encouragement to somebody
I've never met, I never talked to, I've never seen,
I have no problem with that. It costs me zip zero.
(19:04):
It costs me nothing. I don't have to come out
of my pocket. I don't have to put in my
debit card, I don't have to cash atb It's free.
And we got to understand that our humanity is what
we're about. Kris One has a song called human Education
Against Lives. It's an older song and here's a line
(19:24):
that says, before your color first, you're human. Teaching humanity
is what we're doing. We have got to get back
to our humanity otherwise we're going to have these wars.
We're going to have these problems, whether it's domestic violence,
whether it's active shooter or active shooter hospital events. Again,
the new terminology is going to be active violent incidents
(19:46):
because that covers firearms, explosively and other weapons. So that's
why you hear me giving people words of encouragement the
way I do, because it's about our humanity exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Agree.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I totally agree, man, so about humanity and the youth,
the younger generation, and being the example for the younger
generation coming up. You know, like, for example, my son,
he's gonna watch this later because he's gonna subscribe to
my YouTube channel. But my oldest Elijah, who I love dearly,
my first born, Man, I was talking to him yesterday
(20:21):
and literally, man, I have my glasses on, correct glasses
and contacts right. So I called him on a video
and like we had some bad reception. He called me back.
He saw me my classes on, he put his glasses
on it trying to be just liked me, and showed
me his basketball trophies.
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Man.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
So I'm big on being the example for our kids, man,
because our kids look up to all these celebrities, all
these like individuals like Lebron James, Kevin Durant. Nothing against them,
I love him to death, but they have their own kids.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Look up to them. You know.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Lebron kid is going to be in the NBA soon,
Lebron training his kid. Lebron invested his kid. I always
kill look up to him, you know. So that's time
for us to do the same thing for our kids.
To invest the time with my kids. White kids will
look up to us and be the role model and
be the example, you know.
Speaker 6 (21:11):
I told my kids, my ex wife and I we
have six kids, five boys, one girl. The girls the youngest,
all the boys or men, they're all twenty one and older.
And my daughter, she's fourteen. She'll be fifteen the Christmas.
I told all of them as they were little, if
you ever say I want to be like you dead,
(21:33):
we're gonna have a problem exactly, and the like why,
And I said, I don't even want to be like me.
I am a continuous work in progress. That was the
other thing I had on my IG, besides being an
info maniac. I'm a continuous work in progress. I never
had a problem with what Charles Barkley said when he
said I'm not a role model, you know, because I
(21:57):
don't want you to pattern your life after me. I
want you to pattern in your life after what's important
to you. So whatever that means to you, that's fine.
You know, I have my own issues, You have your
own issues, and so let's do a better job each
(22:17):
day with whatever activities or actions that we are involved in,
because each generation should do better than the previous generation.
And so I have my own heroes. I have my
own people that I look up to. I love what
some of these NBA stars are doing. The Lebron's of
(22:39):
the world, the mgs of the world, you know that
are creating businesses, that have built companies. Like with Lebron
and his friends that he grew up with, he said, Hey,
I'm not going to just go to the NBA and
ball out.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Come on, let's start. Let's make some dreams happen. And
Maverick and.
Speaker 6 (23:03):
Randy his friends, his best friends from me how to
a grasshopper. They're all wealthy and rich in their own right.
They're all businessmen. And I've done the same thing in
terms of wanting to bring people up that I came
up with. And I'm constantly talking to people like, hey,
you know what, don't let your zip code be the
(23:27):
only place that you travel. Exactly got outside of their
comfort zone. When John single Man who made his first movie,
Boys in the Hood. He said, the reason you made
that movie. One of the reasons was he grew up
in South Central. It's five miles from the ocean. He said.
(23:49):
There are so many guys and people in that neighborhood
that never even seen the ocean. And I'm like, how
is that possible? Because people get complacent, and it's like
get institutionalized in your mind and compartment compartmentalized in your
mind that you can't do better, can't be better. This
is something that I also talk about with my company
(24:12):
because when we're talking to the youth, you know, just
like I know, the struggles that our youth are having,
whether it's systemic racism, poverty, you know, under education, there's
a bevy of things.
Speaker 5 (24:27):
Law enforcement issues.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
Me being a paramedic, I deal with law enforcement all
the time when I was active. I come from a
family that has police officers in it. You know, we're
all black, and they would tell me about the issues
that they had being black officers, and so I'm not
above board when it comes to some of these trials
and tribulations. However, my focus is, just like your focus
(24:53):
is talking to our kids, being involved with.
Speaker 2 (24:56):
Them, and it's not.
Speaker 6 (24:59):
Just being and not just being did be and not
just being guys that aren't involved or only involved on
the financial level. I just paid my child support and
that's it, you know what. All like, what's your track record?
Because I can show you my track record with my children.
Speaker 2 (25:20):
Exactly, I think, I said.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Man, it just starts by being it like us stepping
up man and really showing these kids man.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
Like.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
For example, I like Lebron James.
Speaker 1 (25:30):
Because he said that he's going to spend his last
year in the NBA with his son. He's gonna make
sure your sons get acclimated to the NBA because he
wants something to be better than him.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
I told my son the same thing.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Songs like that. I want to be just like you.
I said, Nah, buddy, you're gonna be better than me.
I'm gonna actually be better than me. You're gonna be the
two point oh version of daddy. You're gonna be like me.
You wanna play the basketball and football, You're gonna be
the two point oh version.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
You're gonna be better than me. You know so? And
that's what we gotta do as man. Nowadays.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
It's challenge right kids and tell our kids that they
can be great. You know, ask our kids, you know,
what are your dreams, what are your goals? What do
you want to do in life? You know, ask our
kids that not just put our kids on cartoons and
like not do anything with them, but actually interact with
our kids and ask them, hey, what.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Are your dreams in good? What are you going to
do when you grow up?
Speaker 1 (26:18):
You know, and as a parent, help them, help them
grow in that direction, you know, don't put them on
your direction if they want to if they want to
go their own direction, say they want to do this,
then as a parent, transition and help them grow towards
that direction so they'd be happy. You know, I told
my son, if you want to play basketball like me
and football, surround yourself around your football buddies. Round yourself
(26:39):
on your basketball buddies, because you're going to grow and
elevate more with them, because they gonna challenge you as
you challenge them.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
You know.
Speaker 6 (26:47):
So yes, I totally agree with that. The only thing
that I would add to that is we have to
get them to understand how important technology play is a
part in those dreams because we live in a technological world.
(27:07):
Now we're doing this interview via stream yard. It's gonna
be on YouTube, it's gonna be on Facebook, it's gonna
be on other social media platforms. You and I met
through social media. So every job or career that you
want to get into, there is a social media component
that's going to play a part in that. And they
(27:29):
got to learn that. They got to understand that, they
got to understand how money works. So learning crypto and
NFTs and all that. I'm starting to learn about that
myself because I know that it's a growing market and it's.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
A growing.
Speaker 6 (27:48):
It's a growing too that we need to understand how
it works so we're not left behind because we grew
up generations not being taught financial literacy. This is where
the generation of wealth divide comes into play, just like
we have the digital divide. So being an athlete that's
(28:11):
part of the arts. So when we talk about them science, technology, engineering, arts,
and mathematics, that's including in that. And I'm so glad
that you're saying what you're saying about talking to your
sons about these sports and how to network with other athletes.
This is what Lebron. Did you know the NBA of
(28:36):
today is not like the NBA that we grew up watching.
You know, you were basically formidable enemies with anybody that
was not on your team. These guys now are being
buddies with the other teammates from other teams. They're joining
the same teams and all this stuff, and that could
be a whole other conversation. However, at the end of
(28:58):
the day, it's big and we got to understand how
business works. So shout out to you for talking to
the son about coming with that mindset. You gotta surround
yourself with people that are credible and not just clowns exactly.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
People that's gonna fill your cup. You know, you want
to go where he celebrated and not where he tolerated.
I tell people that all the time. You want to
go where he celebrated and not he tolerated. You know,
you know you want to surround yourself a fround people
that's gonna nourish and inspire you. That's gonna feed your flame.
And that's why I teach you, my son, you know,
surround yourself from people that's gonna feed your flame and
(29:38):
challenge you in those sports. Because he win a championship,
he called me up like Dad went championship your champions,
sound like your father proud of you. You know, continue
build on that. You know, people gonna hate because you're
cutting people off. But like God gave you the vision,
you know. And I tell people and every and every
religion that's a God. So you can't say you don't
(29:58):
believe in God because religion as a guy, and God
gave you the vision. He ain't give it to nobody else.
He gave it to you, so only you can see
what you want in your life. So I told my son, like,
you just got to follow your dreams, follow your goals,
no matter what. He's nine years old and he cones
to my chest like he's tall man. He's a long
one man. So he's definitely bound for the NBA or NFL,
(30:19):
one of those two. So but yeah, man, you have
any questions for me?
Speaker 6 (30:24):
My man, you know, I love how you guys started
with doing these activities, you know, And I was looking
at your profile and what I would ask you is
as a business owner, the transition that you made to
(30:45):
be a business owner and be someone who has this
entrepreneurial mindset and it's using social media, how do you
see it being part of our toolbox when we're talking
to a kids because that's where my focus is going
to be on. This is a toolbox for the tools
(31:07):
that you need to know how to utilize. And as
somebody who's licensed technology, what say you to the youth
about that?
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Well, first of all, I tell everybody if you on
social media, First of all, to the youth, I don't
expect you to be on social media like that, but
but to just go out there and post content what
you're doing. I got my science TikTok, so I told
my son, you know, when you go to basketball practice,
(31:39):
you know, get some TikTok video you shooting basketball at
a young age, like the phenomenal nine year old dribbling
the basketball or the phenomenal nine year old shooting hoops
and hitting shots. That's gonna go haywarried because people gonna
love that. People gonna see work at a young age
and putting that work in. That's gonna that's good content
far as adults like our age, our generation. I tell
(32:01):
people all the time, you want to take your Instagram
off private? First of all, if you have a private Instagram,
we're not trying to grow and your ig is your ID. Again,
your ig is your ID and the more content you
post letting people know what you got going on, your
business going flourish. That's why I was able to get
(32:22):
my store unlocked on Instagram. Like if you go on
my IG now you can shop my products on Instagram.
You know, the more you on Instagram adding algorithm, adding
values Instagram, it's going to come back at you. For example,
I get paid to go live on Instagram. So if
I was go live, I get paid. I get the
little badges to go live on Instagram. So again, you
(32:43):
just got to invest your time into social media, take
your IG off private and just post content daily about
what you're doing. Like my IG has modeling, working out,
what else, mental health, everything that I stand for as
a individual. So people want to know about Sean Jackson.
Maybe my IG that's all about me, you know. So
(33:06):
that's how I can give to people in our generation,
to the young generation.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Post content on IG that you doing what you like.
Speaker 1 (33:12):
If you're playing football, you know you want to get
Like for example, my brother Chris Rainey plays in the NFL.
But he played in the NFL and he played in
the CFL. Now his son is like I think got
to be like seven or eight man and man, whant
I tell you he'd be blowing up content and he'd
be out shut Jake like shaking everybody and got his
dad speed and Dad was like phenomenal fast.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
He just take off down down the field and that.
But I looked at look at me. To me.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
You know what I'm saying. He's getting footage of his
son at a young age. So people know that he
put it in work from a young age. You know
what I mean. So that's my advice.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
Yeah, I'm so glad you said that, And definitely, you
know I want to have you on this podcast talking
about those things. We're doing a virtual Career day also
that it's going to be focused on STEAM, where we're
bringing in individuals from those five levels and having them
(34:13):
talk about the importance of each of those fields, because
we know our youth has a different mindset when it
comes to education. Education is important and it's needed. I
don't care what career that you decide to go into.
And so since we're talking about STEAM specifically and we're
going to be focused on sixth grade and higher, we
(34:36):
want to have people that talk about, hey, you know
what if you don't want a two year, four year degree,
postgraduate degree, get a certification with certifications because a lot
of jobs are available in the SEME arena that are
going on fulfilled. Over a one point eight million plus
(35:00):
jobs are going unfulfilled. Even like, for example, if you
have a felony on your record, a lot of times
it's hard to get hired for a corporate job because
they don't want you in a break and mortar place. However,
if you can cod or develop an app or do
some type of work with software and you have a certification,
(35:24):
you know, a lot of these tech certifications, you can
make a minimum sixty K a year. And most of
these jobs now COVID aside, you're working virtually in a
lot of these jobs. And even more so actually now
since COVID, a lot of these jobs are virtual, so
(35:45):
you don't even have to put that you have a felony.
And a lot of these applications, people are getting hired
as virtual assistants doing this coding work and they're getting
paid big bucks for it, and they got felonies. And
so I tell people about this stuff because don't be
afraid because you're a returning citizen from being incarcerated that
(36:07):
you can't get important you just have to open your
mind and look into your research. And that's where you
and I come into play to educate our men and
women are fellow humans who are returning from these incarcerations
on how they can be tax paying citizens exactly.
Speaker 1 (36:30):
And that's why I got full circle, no full circle
to come and took up our room. He's incarcerated right now,
and that's why I speak to him, man, tell him man,
like you know, I told him, I got a plan
for you when you get out. You know, I tell people,
don't let being locked up to find who you are
as a person. You know, I don't care if we
have a felony or not. That doesn't define who you are.
(36:51):
You know, you can flip that around, you can put
the reset. But why could you still breathing? You still
got life still, God, God still give you breadth to live,
so you still got another chance to hit the reset button.
But you got to get yourself right, you know, and
then like it starts by just believing in yourself. And
I tell people all the time, like my cousin, for example,
he's a feeling could now he couldn't get a job now,
(37:13):
I told him, I said, because money is easy to
be made if you apply yourself.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
That's right.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
So find what you're good at and then apply yourself.
I told him that if I left Florida. I thought
to my uncle yesterday because he was his birthday. He said,
you know, Jalen's selling shoes now, he's selling Nikes and Jordans.
I said, what so, yeah, you know, so that's where
he making money selling shoes legally, like he that's where
it's that And I told him, I said, find something
(37:40):
that you're good at. You know, I'm supposed to reset,
but that's an excuse. Now you're giving yourself an excuse
to go back in the comfort zone. It's a beautiful place,
but nothing grows there. You gotta get outside the comfort
zone and be willing to do anything that takes to
be successful. I don't care if you got to cut
down trees for a living, go out there and get
that money. Because when I got left in Maine and
I had nothing, I had to go get a job.
(38:02):
When I was homeless, I had to go get a
job and cut down trees for lp. They called me
the black lumberjack man. I'm talking about going through tick nests,
going through roads, bushes and I'm telling my people in May.
They listening, they know nobody that looka street work is difficult
because you walk through, you walk ten miles like through
like a bog or bushes, just cutting down trees, cutting
(38:25):
down pine trees and stuff. Man, I'm from Florida. I
am from Tempa, Florida. Never did that work. Yeah, you
know what I'm saying. So I had to redefine my
mind and get comfortable with doing that because I had
to get that money how to get take care of
my kids. So that's why I tell people, like, if
you're coming out of prison and you got children on
this earth, I don't care if you got a feelery
(38:45):
or not. You're gonna do whatever it takes to feed
your children. That's the true lion right there.
Speaker 5 (38:51):
That's absolutely true.
Speaker 6 (38:53):
One of the things that I talk to people about
also is the work I'm doing with to individual was
very proud to call my work partners. One gentleman. His
name is Dexter dot Pagan's. He has a company called
Still Standing LLC. He is a retired military event twenty
(39:14):
five years. First two years he was a marine, or
I should say he is a marine, because once a marine,
always a Marine and then he switched over to the
army and for twenty three years he was a combatman.
And so excuse me my other work partner, and you
know him and most people that love hip hop know him.
(39:34):
He is Professor Griff of the hip hop group Public Enemy.
And what we do on his platform we began in
September of last year. He has a channel on YouTube
called Serious Minds sir Ius in I n d Z,
and we've done about ten shows on his platform where
(39:56):
we're talking about active violent incidents in the news stories
and so like the Travis Scott fiasco. You know, if
you're concert goer and you see people that are getting
crushed and going into cardiac arrest, what do you do
as a bystander? You know, So we talk about how
to get involved in those situations, whether you just call
(40:17):
it nine one one, what you're putting hands on and
doing chest compressions. We talk about those things. If somebody
is shot by, you know, near you, if you're at
school or them all, you know, what do you do
in those situations? So, as Doc says, we teach people
how to be buy doers instead of by standards, and
we talk about all of these active violent incidents. As
(40:39):
a mental health person, I don't do therapy, but I
do talk about these mental health issues from an EMS
pre hospital perspective because a lot of times when a
nine one one call comes out, we deal with mental
health issues, whether it's anxiety, suicidal, ideation, depression. One of
(41:00):
the things that they were talking about in the news
with George Floyd was they thought he was having an
excited delirium syndrome, which he's not, so I talk about
how that works. When Elijah McCain, the young man in
Minnesota got killed, there are five people being charged, three
police officers, two paramedics, which that's the first time in
(41:23):
history that two paramedics are being charged with a murder case,
you know, because they allegedly gave a drug called ketamine
to this young man. It's a weight based drug, and
so you know, we don't see people in our field
being charged with crimes like that. But you know, these
(41:44):
are things that we talk about. I talk about in
cover and so again, you know, I just like to
thank you for giving me the opportunity to have these
conversations with you. I don't even but on this particular platform,
and I'm always open for any questions, comments, concerns, plants, whatever.
(42:04):
Our contact information is op ten k dot com. All
my contact information is on there, you know. And if
you have a business, definitely get you a ten K
card because people can reach out to you and a quick, clear,
concise way just using your smart device exactly.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
Guys, you hear that, Get you a t K card. Guys,
out QR code right there on top. If you got
an iPhone or smartphone, just put on your camera, scan
that QR code and boom, get a K card like
the refresher.
Speaker 2 (42:41):

Speaker 5 (42:45):
There is?
Speaker 2 (42:46):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (42:48):
Yeah, guys, definitely if you're a business on the top
end with me, get a ten K card. Guys, the
way professional. So I spending money on paper business cards. Guys,
I'm sorry, but I got to say it because look,
people do.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Them on the ground. Guys. I was a primary guy.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
Who's the buyt I said, guy Beness cars right here, Guys,
I have to buy Benis cars all the time. I
love my business cards. But then I sat I see
him on the ground. I saw I see him on
the table. I started seeing them like getting people like
it's just now why it's the waste of money, Like
you just spend all that money and then people just
do them on the ground.
Speaker 2 (43:20):
Now they all ruined, and you.
Speaker 1 (43:22):
Know what I'm saying, you don't want to pick them
back up because now either they wet or like they destroyed. Now,
all that money just waste. That's like twenty five cents
per car right there. That's money in your pocket wasting,
you know what I mean. So invest into a digital
business card. People can just toss to the ground because
you just text to their phone and have all the
information right there, right.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Then and there on their phone. That's fire right there, right.
Speaker 6 (43:44):
Yeah, reach that out to the pressure you will, let
you know, get y'all set up for that. It's a
very inexpensive investment, very inexpensive. You're gonna save some trees.
So we're saving landfill space, we're saving wastes, and we're
(44:04):
being environmentally conscious with these digital cars. And it's just
a great, great product all across the board. And thank
you for introducing me to that product, because I wish
