Speaker 1 (03:43):
So I want to say thank you for taking the
time out your day and coming to my podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
You're welcome. You're welcome having.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Us your guys. Magazine is phenomenal. Now in my research,
I love it. We need we need that more like
more nowadays it's positivity. But they see a lot of
people are still going through different things in life, and
our stories can really be our message, our message and
as our testimony that all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Your magazine is really putting that out there.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, So that's what it's all about. Motivation.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
Everyone needs that voice, Everyone needs that inspiration to get
them through today because you just don't know what's on
a person's mind. You know, mental health is at all
time high, and I really focus on that so much
with my experiences, with my family's experiences and just with life.
And so getting some type of testimonial story from someone
(04:36):
can open them up and make them feel better and
they could say, Okay, that's relatable to my incident. If
they did it, I can do it. And that's just
what it's about every day. So we enjoy doing a magazine.
We enjoy getting the stories. We endore enjoy listening to
people like a conversation like we're having now because that
helps people.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You know, so people have no one to talk to.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And you heard about that. So what expires you guys
to do Old Believe Magazine?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Well, I was inspired because I had some challenges in
my life in twenty nineteen, and you know, I'm spiritual,
so listening to my vision come to life of creating
a magazine. Didn't think I could do it, but I
did it, you know, and it worked and people started
really engaging in the stories and it started helping people,
(05:26):
and so I kept going, We kept writing, we kept interviewing,
and we just successfully just got in the bookstores and
now it's growing as we speak. And so that's what
inspired us, just to have a platform to help.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
People speak about their truth.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
You know, we fear away from telling people the things
we went through because of judgment, because of fear.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Fear is the biggest word, you.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Know, And so I think people now knowing that it
helps you to release that rather than to have that
resentment on your hard it could also help you as well.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So I love that, love that love that.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
So how long you guys been around now about a
couple a few years? Two two years and you're blowing
up like that. Yeah, I applawed you. I'll applige you.
A shout out to you guys to work and never
giving up. And I tell people to never give up
in life because you never know. Once you give up,
you gotta start all over again, you know. So, like,
(06:28):
I'm definitely proud of you. Guys just going through and
making your dreams come true. And now you have others
get their stories out there, which is a blessing. You know,
you're doing God's work through a magazine. You know you're
doing God's work through a magazine. So I'll applauge you guys.
M Absolutely, that's great.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
That's great.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
I'll tell you Bully.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Magazine has not only changed lives, but it actually changed
our life, you know, because you know when someone is
going through something in life. You know, we come from
a place where we were told, especially in my age group,
that you know, what's in the house stays in the house.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
And we got a lot of.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
People, you know, in our culture that really you know,
are free to share what they've been through. But we
harbor these things, you know, And with Bully Magazine being
a platform, you know, it's not for everyone. You know,
it's not for everyone. We have we can.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
We just take our heads off to the.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
People who have shared their story and helped Bully Magazine grow.
We hope to reach back someday when Bully Magazine is
sitting beside Ebony and is sitting beside Time Magazine, because
that's our future.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
You know, I'm saying it right now, you're going to
your local grocery Bully magazine beside Time magazine, you know,
and that's the time we just really want to reach back,
even to people like yourself who's given us opportunity and
you're sharing your platform with us, you know, each one.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Everyone who shares their platform, you know, that's more people
who get to know what Bully Magazine is about and
also what you are doing, you know, which is very inspirational.
You know, takes a lot to step out there on
faith and say, hey, this is something I want to
do and I want to help people. You know, I
just want to say that this world today, as we
can see, stories are being created daily. You know, people
(08:24):
are you know, mothers losing their children. You know, we
still have a lot of things going on privately and
people people homes and things of that nature. So we
just want to be that platform where people can come
open up and Bully Magazine if people haven't having a
chance to look at it. We wanted to send a
bullying magazine, not around a question and answer type magazine.
(08:48):
Bully Magazine, you know, is a magazine where you should
be able to go back and read our very first
issue and to be very very brand new to you.
Because stories never die, you know, especially real life story
they never die. So you can look at Bully Magazine
as a lot of small books of individual stories, and
that's the way we wanted to create it. So basically,
(09:09):
there's an interview process, and once that interview process is finished,
we literally type up what you said and put it
in a story form, and we really don't share anything
until the person approves it. You know, they have to
approve their story and they have to love their story
because they're sharing something that's personal.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
To the world now.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
So we just want to continue to just keep the
platform in that regard so people can have a place
to come share their story and have some have a
magazine that can trust, you know, have a magazine that
can trust, because you know, we got a thousand magazines
out there, and I take my head off to all
of them, but we want to be that magazine that
people can trust. We want to be that magazine that's
(09:51):
therapeutic and Kim and myself, you know, a the all
of the interviews we've done once we start recording, man,
we have literally healed people. We have to thank you
for letting me talk. Thank you for letting me share
our story. I mean, it's things right now that my
wife and myself you know, will always stay between us
because people share things that they couldn't share in the magazine.
(10:12):
So outside of the magazine.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
It's about us too.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
It's about us letting you, you know, get that story
off your chest that you might not want the worry
to hear, because like my wife started off saying, people
need someone to talk to, someone that can trust, you know,
and sometimes you can't talk to people that you know.
You want to talk to that stranger, you know, you
want to get what's on your test and talk to
that stranger. That's what we try to be. So outside
(10:37):
of Bully Magazine, we're here for people that just want
to open up and event, you know, and we enjoy
doing it, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
So like that, I hope, man, I could bring you
so much people too, man, because I'm a motive I'm
not a motivational speaker.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I'm more like call myself not a healer.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But I love going back and I love impiring people,
you know, and I love to inspire homeless. I was
to be homeless myself five years ago for three months,
well for actually four months and I got left in
the state of May by myself and no family, no friends,
and with one bag of clothes, no money, only fifty
dollars with the food stems from Florida.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, and like.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Try to hold my strength strong because my grandmother called
me from Florida crying, and you know, being in this
state with no family, you got to hold yourself strong, so,
you know, and it was a decision I had to make,
was to go back home and you know, not grow
or stay in the environment where I don't though.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Be uncomfortable and forced myself to grow. And I did that.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I just walked to the nearest grocery store. I applied there.
I got a high. I mean, I got my interview.
I told them my situation.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Didn't believe me at first until they saw my bag
of clothes, and then they hired me on the spot.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Just yeah, I just moved up from there. Man, So
I just kept right.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
That's great, that is great, that's great man.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
You know, I always tell you.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
I always tell my wife, you know, when we first started,
and this to anybody who's listening. Man, you put in
the work, put in the work, you know, That's how
that is our model. And I know it's a model
that's kind of cliche, but it's true, you know, and
we're creating something that we hope will never die. You know,
stories live on forever, you know, and I think that's
(12:27):
the beauty of any publication out there.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You know, you have publications that will tell you about
like was just happening across across you know, the United
States with the shootings and stuff like that. I can
interview people like that, and you know, then another shooting coming,
that story gets dead, that story is buried. You know,
they're not talking about it anymore. So we're bully Magazine
is not a magazine like that. It is your story.
(12:54):
Somebody's gonna always we go back and people are still
reading issue one, so your story will always resonnate to
somebody and look at it like this, that story that
you just told, that small snippet that you just told,
can be somebody else's motivation and say, wow, Sean did it.
You know, Sean came all the way to main He
didn't run back home. You know, I read that in
(13:16):
Bullying Magazine. He didn't run back home. So neither or not,
I'm gonna go ahead and do this, and that's what
it's about. You know, those small words can motivate somebody
and it doesn't have to be that certain situation. It's
gonna be a situation that they in that motivates them.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
So you're just saying.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
What you're just saying is a motivational period things that
people need to hear. Like I was strong and you
should be strong, right.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
But sometimes it's not that cuttings dry.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
But hey, we got to keep speaking from the mountaintop man, right.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I lost my mother eleven years ago, so definitely my
mom like so many memories, man, it was like always
there in Florida, you know, and I felt like I
would never get past that hump because my mom. I
was mother's boy, you know, every every guy, every boys
and mothers.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
But I love my mom dearly.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It's about eleven years ago and like when she loved
this earth man, like I just I love I just
lost all over with Florida.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I just wanted something different, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I wanted to be more Like I wanted to show
my mom more that I can come from where we
came from and be more for you.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
That's how she wanted for her two kids.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
You know that's great.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
That's great, man. Hey, keep keep your feeting on the ground, shine,
and keep doing what you're doing. Man, And I see
you on your eighth episode. Next thing, you know, it's
gonna be one hundred and eight, three hundred and eight,
you know, and and and everybody that you touch, man
will never forget you, you know. And that's what it's
all about. You know. I'm truly believe it that people
(14:47):
are to stay in that lane. You know, to be
out your lane and not knowing what you're doing can
kind of be a thing to where.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
You can stumble sometimes. But hey, you know, if you
if you do v.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Out your lane, you become successful outside your lane.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Kudos to you.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
But you know, typically people like to stand in the lane,
stay with the things they have to do. Now I
can tell you this with me and Kim, this wasn't
our lane. You know, God literally put this on my wife.
You know, he literally said, okay, Kim, and she'll tell
you the story.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
You know, I know I've been talking.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
She'll tell you the story of how you know, she
just say one she kept coming to me and saying,
you know, I want to start a magazine. And it
was a thing to where I wasn't really listening, you know,
I heard her because we had a few businesses before that,
you know, and I was listening. But she sent me
that first cover and here we are. I loved it, man,
I love the first cover from now. Yeah, so you
(15:42):
want to share something, I don't want to take all
your talk time.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
You fine, You're fine? Did you did good?
Speaker 9 (15:50):
So? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (15:50):
So I was really inspired by I wanted to do
something to open people up. Like I said, to not
hold onto so much because the sun to depression in
twenty nineteen, from holding on to his fear of the
challenges of substant abuse that he was going through and
so many people judging him because he felt like he
(16:11):
failed in life and he overdosed himself. And so because
of that, God gave me that vision to do and
I said, I want to do something where it can
help people, where people won't have to be so fearful
of telling their truth. Like you just told your truth
about you being homeless. Some people would have never wanted
to say that. I know, I never wanted to say that.
(16:32):
You know what I'm saying. I was let out before too,
in an apartment complex. And so that magazine has opened
me up and made me tell things about my past
painful experiences. And from the magazine I did children's books,
I did a bio about me telling about my whole life.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Just being transparent about what's.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Going on in your life rather than hiding it away,
you know, like most of us do. Lost my parents
in the same brim of losing my son, so every
all three of them passed away in ten months, so
I really didn't have time to heal.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
But listening to those stories help me here, you know
what I'm.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
Saying, Because when you're going through something, you believe you're
the only one that's going through that pain.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
But when you hear other people's story, you just don't know.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Like they say, you never know what someone's going through
until you hear their story. So that that really opened
up and helped me to not be scared anymore. And
now I'm just not scared, like whatever happens happens, it's.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Just life, you know.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
And I want to be here for a while, so
I don't want to be stressed out and I don't
want to lose my life from stress because it can't
do that. Till you can break your heart, it can
do a lot of things to the inside. So I
don't want that to happen. So I think this magazine
that God placed on me was for a benefit for
me and the person that's receiving it reading the magazines
and telling their story.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
So I'm definitely that's right, that's really right. I'm glad
I met you guys. Like I said, I want to
continue to do more work. Man, this is only the beginning, man.
So yeah, I'm writing a book right now. You know,
I'll go ahead and spell to me. I wasn't gonna
tell nobody, but I got like four chapters up, so
for force myself to get these four chapters done.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
And yes, it's called Life of a Gypsy Champion.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
To Shawn Jackson story my whole life, I've always been
on the road, never really, I mean I had a home,
you know, at my grandmother house, my family and stuff.
As far as having my own family, my own home,
I never had.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
That, you know.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
So so it's called life of a Gypsy Champion. Always
been on the road. Even as a kid, we bounced
from the house, the house, hotel, the hotel as children,
you know. So I tell people as kids that it
really affects your adult life. You know, because to this day,
well now I'm stable, But for the first four or
five years in May, I bounced around from couch to couch,
(18:55):
house to house, and I was in survival.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Moved trying to survive and trying to figure my way
out in the state.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
So but now, you know, trying to change the narrative.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I got three kids, my baby Elijah, my daughter you know,
Jay Lamb, my youngest baby, Zeke. So trying to be
that example for them, you know, let them know that
if we can't as parents overcome tragedy in life, adversity
in life, our kids can't go through and over them
that you know, we got, it's with us. We gotta
be the strong, That's right.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
What an amazing story, man, because I've never I've never
met anybody from main Yes, I mean really, I mean
I really haven't. You know, Maine is one of those
states that it just doesn't resignating your minds up there.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
You know, It's something I never been.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
And how you how are you with the cold of the.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Transition?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Now?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Man, I said, drive for FedEx like for three and
a half years. So having in the blizzards and all
white conditions.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Yeah, I used to it said, I got you.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Wow, that's great man. It's kind of quiet there, right.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
It's really good for kids. Business wise, the supportive. I
got a lot of people wearing my brand, A lot
of people support me. And when I told them about,
you know, beating you guys and stuff like that, because all.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Sean, you're getting the magazine. Let us know, man, we're
behind your magazine.
Speaker 9 (20:19):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
It was like, man, let me know, I'll put up

Speaker 1 (20:35):
I'm gonna see you guys something for you know, collaborating
with me, man, just coming on my show as a blessing.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Yeah yeah, yeah, definitely definitely. Because I also had started
a clothing line in honor of my son that passed away.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
It's called the Joseph Michael Who Do You Pow?
Speaker 7 (20:53):
So we designed to design hoodies with his logo and
also with a patch that represents mental health. So it
has every condition that a lot of people suffer from.
And then the proceeds that we make from it. I
wanted to donate it to any Mental Health. Yeah, that's
it right there, Any Mental Health a facility, NAMI Foundation
(21:14):
that supports those with depression, bipolar, all of those things.
So I want to give back, and so that's why
I created that. So I'm still we're still working on it.
We just got a lot of things going on. But
God is blessing us, you know, to meet the right people,
and we're glad we met you. So we're like for
people to understand our mission and our story and why
(21:36):
we're doing what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
You know, we're not trying to be more of an
entertainment magazine.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
We want to be more of like we're making like
a book, you know, real story, testimonial stories to heal people.
Speaker 3 (21:48):

being bullied.

Speaker 7 (22:05):
It's how that bullied you and how you overcame those challenges.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
That's what Bully represents.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Yes, yes, And I tell you people, you know, for
your listeners, everything that you do in life, I think,
you know, we have to have patience with it. You know,
you have to have patience, patience and perseverance.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
You know.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Things don't happen overnight, you know.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Uh. You know, with Bully Magazine being where it is today,
we're still on the ground floor, you know, because it's
things that we want to build around Bullying Magazine, you know,
things that we have that we sit down privately and
talk about how we can you know, reach more people,
especially in the digital digital form, you know, because everybody's
(22:49):
into digital you know, video form and things of that nature.
So we're really looking to you know, expand with Bully
Magazine in that aspect, so people it can reach people
where they are.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
You know.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
We know that you know, your tiktoks and you know,
either Instagram reels and things like that. You know, and
no pun intended, you know, because I'm in the same
lane and I know people attention span you know, can
can be a little you know, a little short these days.
You know, a person will watch a fifteen second video
(23:24):
before they sit down and watch a five minute.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
I mean, that's just how it.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Is, you know, unless it's something less, unless I'm punting
somebody in the face. You know, let's get real, you know,
I mean people, I mean, we kind of you know,
draw to drama.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
Nothing, there's nothing wrong with that, you know what I mean.
I mean, to each his own.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
But we just want to make sure that we can
not only compete, but I don't want to use the
word compete, that we can pretty much be side to
side with these videos. You know, if your child is
watching a video that's negative, hey, they should be able
to see a positive video following in because.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
I believe in balance, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
And I know you got kids. You say you got kids,
so you you want to be very you know, mindful
of what they're you know, what's entering their mind mindset
because they're very young, you know. And we can see today, Man,
it really isn't an age thing to it right now,
because you know, mental health is at an all time high.
We can see that every time someone does something, they
(24:23):
blame it on mental health.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
So therefore, you know, anything that you do.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
You know, if I'm watching video after video after video
after video, at some point it's going to do something
to my mind, right, So, ay, at some point, hopefully
we can throw a positive video in the middle of
that thing, right to balance people back to reality, say okay, okay, okay,
you know, and those some of the things that we
talk about, and hopefully we can you know, move forward
(24:52):
with that in the future. But we're taking our time
and and we still we're I'll tell you, man, we're
blessed to be right around the globe. You know. I
like to tell people that because you know, to see
people reading our magazine all around the world, it does
something to you. And it it answers that question.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
You know, did I do this in Vain?
Speaker 5 (25:15):
You know? And every time we see somebody that read
this magazine in the country we never heard of. No, no,
we didn't.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
We didn't do it in Vain.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Because they read a story that could help them in
a third world country or in a country that may
not be as advanced as America. Right. So, and and
you know, for people to not only know what the
magazine are, but know what we stand for around the globe, man,
it's great.

inspiring them, you know, but letting them know that, you know,
just because you're homeless doesn't don't that doesn't define.

Who you are as a person. He's still being He's
still a great person.
Speaker 5 (41:41):
You know.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
If you believe in God, there were no average God

kind of Jesus Christ is what we believe in.
Speaker 2 (42:03):

It's not always the compensation, it's just the work that
you've done. To know that someone is either using your

it is. It just makes you feel really good. Because
when I hear people say, oh you you bully Bully.

But in God's eyes, God know who you're doing enough.
He gave me that assignment to do. But sometimes when
you wanted to come. It doesn't come when you wanted
to come. But when you hear someone say this is
such a great job and it's going to help me
and help my child, that makes you feel good and
it makes me keep going, you.

Speaker 5 (44:32):
And I think, and I think people have to be
very careful of how fast they want to move because
God is going to move you in the pace that
he needs you, because you have to be prepared. You
have to be prepared, man. You know, we have seen
unprepared people out here. Millions of people know who they
are man, and they lose their mind.
Speaker 6 (44:51):
So you have to be prepared for this journey.
Speaker 5 (44:54):
You know, you have to be prepared because what we're
dealing with is people, and you know, sometimes it's difficult
dealing with two or three people. Can you can you
imagine millions?
Speaker 4 (45:03):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (45:04):
Can you imagine a big budget? Can you imagine you know,
trying to finagle millions and millions of dollars and you know,
showing with your product, trying to get it out, trying
to get it to major stores, and you know, all
that stuff is coming. So he wants to prepare you
and make sure that you're ready for that you know so,
because especially if you're doing it in his name, you know,
(45:25):
especially if we're doing it in God's name, if we're
doing it for God, we just want to make sure
that it's done with excellence. You know, it's not sloppy.
It's done with excellent because that's what God represents, you know,
represents excellent, not sloppiness.
Speaker 7 (45:39):
You know, to be excellent, give you step by step guideline.
So all the resources that you ask for and you
believe that you can't get, they start trickling down. Because
that's what happened with me. I never believe I can
get this far way? Am I gonna get this? I
can't afford that. Can Somebody will come in that knows
somebody or something will happen, or I get blessed from something.
Speaker 3 (46:01):
It always works out. Take your time, stay faithful, and
stay consistent, and be kind of people.
Speaker 6 (46:08):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
And one important thing. You want to go where you
celebrated and not where you're tolerated.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
That and I already mean that because like my brother
Tyrone Pool, he's a two times super Bowl champion, right man,
he sends me his book, send me his book. He
was like refresher it's called the success Game of Life.
He was like, I need you to read my book.
Like I believe in you, I believe in your brand,
and like he's a two time super Bowl champion, he
(46:35):
spend time with me. I tell people like, yeah, you
know so, you want to go where you celebrated and
not be tolerated, you know. And he taught me that,
you know so, And it's very truthful because a lot
of people not gonna like love your success. A lot
of people are gonna not gonna be okay with you
being successful and life, you know, and they hate they're
(46:58):
not supposed to be around you.
Speaker 6 (47:01):
Exactly, exactly.
Speaker 7 (47:02):
Yeah, that's why I like to not stay local all
the time. I like to get around and go to
other places and just you know, not be afraid to move,
you know what I'm saying. So we like to explore
in different places. Like we'll go wherever someone wants to
have us. We'll make it our best to get there.
So we went to Alabama, was invited there. We had
(47:24):
fun with me there and they recognized us and we
had a ball. So we'll go wherever we need to go,
you know, to get our brand out and get it
our name to ring bells, and so.
Speaker 2 (47:35):

I just want to say thank you for this like
really honorable experience.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
I'm humbled.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I met you guys and I was like, wow, man,
you guys was able to come to my podcast.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
I love it being able to connect.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
So I want to say thank you for taking the
time out your day and coming to my podcast.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
You're welcome. You're welcome having.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Us your guys. Magazine is phenomenal. Now in my research,
I love it. We need we need that more like
more nowadays it's positivity. But they see a lot of
people are still going through different things in life, and
our stories can really be our message, our message and
as our testimony that all the time.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Your magazine is really putting that out there.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Yeah, So that's what it's all about. Motivation.
Speaker 7 (04:15):
Everyone needs that voice, Everyone needs that inspiration to get
them through today because you just don't know what's on
a person's mind. You know, mental health is at all
time high, and I really focus on that so much
with my experiences, with my family's experiences and just with life.
And so getting some type of testimonial story from someone
(04:36):
can open them up and make them feel better and
they could say, Okay, that's relatable to my incident. If
they did it, I can do it. And that's just
what it's about every day. So we enjoy doing a magazine.
We enjoy getting the stories. We endore enjoy listening to
people like a conversation like we're having now because that
helps people.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
You know, so people have no one to talk to.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And you heard about that. So what expires you guys
to do Old Believe Magazine?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Well, I was inspired because I had some challenges in
my life in twenty nineteen, and you know, I'm spiritual,
so listening to my vision come to life of creating
a magazine. Didn't think I could do it, but I
did it, you know, and it worked and people started
really engaging in the stories and it started helping people,
(05:26):
and so I kept going, We kept writing, we kept interviewing,
and we just successfully just got in the bookstores and
now it's growing as we speak. And so that's what
inspired us, just to have a platform to help.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
People speak about their truth.
Speaker 7 (05:42):
You know, we fear away from telling people the things
we went through because of judgment, because of fear.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
Fear is the biggest word, you.
Speaker 7 (05:51):
Know, And so I think people now knowing that it
helps you to release that rather than to have that
resentment on your hard it could also help you as well.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
So I love that, love that love that.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
So how long you guys been around now about a
couple a few years? Two two years and you're blowing
up like that. Yeah, I applawed you. I'll applige you.
A shout out to you guys to work and never
giving up. And I tell people to never give up
in life because you never know. Once you give up,
you gotta start all over again, you know. So, like,
(06:28):
I'm definitely proud of you. Guys just going through and
making your dreams come true. And now you have others
get their stories out there, which is a blessing. You know,
you're doing God's work through a magazine. You know you're
doing God's work through a magazine. So I'll applauge you guys.
M Absolutely, that's great.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
That's great.
Speaker 6 (06:48):
I'll tell you Bully.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Magazine has not only changed lives, but it actually changed
our life, you know, because you know when someone is
going through something in life. You know, we come from
a place where we were told, especially in my age group,
that you know, what's in the house stays in the house.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
And we got a lot of.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
People, you know, in our culture that really you know,
are free to share what they've been through. But we
harbor these things, you know, And with Bully Magazine being
a platform, you know, it's not for everyone. You know,
it's not for everyone. We have we can.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
We just take our heads off to the.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
People who have shared their story and helped Bully Magazine grow.
We hope to reach back someday when Bully Magazine is
sitting beside Ebony and is sitting beside Time Magazine, because
that's our future.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
You know, I'm saying it right now, you're going to
your local grocery Bully magazine beside Time magazine, you know,
and that's the time we just really want to reach back,
even to people like yourself who's given us opportunity and
you're sharing your platform with us, you know, each one.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Everyone who shares their platform, you know, that's more people
who get to know what Bully Magazine is about and
also what you are doing, you know, which is very inspirational.
You know, takes a lot to step out there on
faith and say, hey, this is something I want to
do and I want to help people. You know, I
just want to say that this world today, as we
can see, stories are being created daily. You know, people
(08:24):
are you know, mothers losing their children. You know, we
still have a lot of things going on privately and
people people homes and things of that nature. So we
just want to be that platform where people can come
open up and Bully Magazine if people haven't having a
chance to look at it. We wanted to send a
bullying magazine, not around a question and answer type magazine.
(08:48):
Bully Magazine, you know, is a magazine where you should
be able to go back and read our very first
issue and to be very very brand new to you.
Because stories never die, you know, especially real life story
they never die. So you can look at Bully Magazine
as a lot of small books of individual stories, and
that's the way we wanted to create it. So basically,
(09:09):
there's an interview process, and once that interview process is finished,
we literally type up what you said and put it
in a story form, and we really don't share anything
until the person approves it. You know, they have to
approve their story and they have to love their story
because they're sharing something that's personal.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
To the world now.
Speaker 5 (09:29):
So we just want to continue to just keep the
platform in that regard so people can have a place
to come share their story and have some have a
magazine that can trust, you know, have a magazine that
can trust, because you know, we got a thousand magazines
out there, and I take my head off to all
of them, but we want to be that magazine that
people can trust. We want to be that magazine that's
(09:51):
therapeutic and Kim and myself, you know, a the all
of the interviews we've done once we start recording, man,
we have literally healed people. We have to thank you
for letting me talk. Thank you for letting me share
our story. I mean, it's things right now that my
wife and myself you know, will always stay between us
because people share things that they couldn't share in the magazine.
(10:12):
So outside of the magazine.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
It's about us too.
Speaker 5 (10:16):
It's about us letting you, you know, get that story
off your chest that you might not want the worry
to hear, because like my wife started off saying, people
need someone to talk to, someone that can trust, you know,
and sometimes you can't talk to people that you know.
You want to talk to that stranger, you know, you
want to get what's on your test and talk to
that stranger. That's what we try to be. So outside
(10:37):
of Bully Magazine, we're here for people that just want
to open up and event, you know, and we enjoy
doing it, you know.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
So like that, I hope, man, I could bring you
so much people too, man, because I'm a motive I'm
not a motivational speaker.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I'm more like call myself not a healer.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
But I love going back and I love impiring people,
you know, and I love to inspire homeless. I was
to be homeless myself five years ago for three months,
well for actually four months and I got left in
the state of May by myself and no family, no friends,
and with one bag of clothes, no money, only fifty
dollars with the food stems from Florida.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
Yeah, and like.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Try to hold my strength strong because my grandmother called
me from Florida crying, and you know, being in this
state with no family, you got to hold yourself strong, so,
you know, and it was a decision I had to make,
was to go back home and you know, not grow
or stay in the environment where I don't though.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Be uncomfortable and forced myself to grow. And I did that.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I just walked to the nearest grocery store. I applied there.
I got a high. I mean, I got my interview.
I told them my situation.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Didn't believe me at first until they saw my bag
of clothes, and then they hired me on the spot.
Speaker 5 (11:56):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Just yeah, I just moved up from there. Man, So
I just kept right.
Speaker 5 (12:00):
That's great, that is great, that's great man.
Speaker 6 (12:04):
You know, I always tell you.
Speaker 5 (12:05):
I always tell my wife, you know, when we first started,
and this to anybody who's listening. Man, you put in
the work, put in the work, you know, That's how
that is our model. And I know it's a model
that's kind of cliche, but it's true, you know, and
we're creating something that we hope will never die. You know,
stories live on forever, you know, and I think that's
(12:27):
the beauty of any publication out there.
Speaker 6 (12:29):
You know.
Speaker 5 (12:31):
You know, you have publications that will tell you about
like was just happening across across you know, the United
States with the shootings and stuff like that. I can
interview people like that, and you know, then another shooting coming,
that story gets dead, that story is buried. You know,
they're not talking about it anymore. So we're bully Magazine
is not a magazine like that. It is your story.
(12:54):
Somebody's gonna always we go back and people are still
reading issue one, so your story will always resonnate to
somebody and look at it like this, that story that
you just told, that small snippet that you just told,
can be somebody else's motivation and say, wow, Sean did it.
You know, Sean came all the way to main He
didn't run back home. You know, I read that in
(13:16):
Bullying Magazine. He didn't run back home. So neither or not,
I'm gonna go ahead and do this, and that's what
it's about. You know, those small words can motivate somebody
and it doesn't have to be that certain situation. It's
gonna be a situation that they in that motivates them.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
So you're just saying.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
What you're just saying is a motivational period things that
people need to hear. Like I was strong and you
should be strong, right.
Speaker 6 (13:40):
But sometimes it's not that cuttings dry.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
But hey, we got to keep speaking from the mountaintop man, right.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
I lost my mother eleven years ago, so definitely my
mom like so many memories, man, it was like always
there in Florida, you know, and I felt like I
would never get past that hump because my mom. I
was mother's boy, you know, every every guy, every boys
and mothers.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
But I love my mom dearly.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
It's about eleven years ago and like when she loved
this earth man, like I just I love I just
lost all over with Florida.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I just wanted something different, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
I wanted to be more Like I wanted to show
my mom more that I can come from where we
came from and be more for you.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
That's how she wanted for her two kids.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
You know that's great.
Speaker 5 (14:25):
That's great, man. Hey, keep keep your feeting on the ground, shine,
and keep doing what you're doing. Man, And I see
you on your eighth episode. Next thing, you know, it's
gonna be one hundred and eight, three hundred and eight,
you know, and and and everybody that you touch, man
will never forget you, you know. And that's what it's
all about. You know. I'm truly believe it that people
(14:47):
are to stay in that lane. You know, to be
out your lane and not knowing what you're doing can
kind of be a thing to where.
Speaker 6 (14:54):
You can stumble sometimes. But hey, you know, if you
if you do v.
Speaker 5 (14:59):
Out your lane, you become successful outside your lane.
Speaker 6 (15:01):
Kudos to you.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
But you know, typically people like to stand in the lane,
stay with the things they have to do. Now I
can tell you this with me and Kim, this wasn't
our lane. You know, God literally put this on my wife.
You know, he literally said, okay, Kim, and she'll tell
you the story.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
You know, I know I've been talking.
Speaker 5 (15:20):
She'll tell you the story of how you know, she
just say one she kept coming to me and saying,
you know, I want to start a magazine. And it
was a thing to where I wasn't really listening, you know,
I heard her because we had a few businesses before that,
you know, and I was listening. But she sent me
that first cover and here we are. I loved it, man,
I love the first cover from now. Yeah, so you
(15:42):
want to share something, I don't want to take all
your talk time.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
You fine, You're fine? Did you did good?
Speaker 9 (15:50):
So? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (15:50):
So I was really inspired by I wanted to do
something to open people up. Like I said, to not
hold onto so much because the sun to depression in
twenty nineteen, from holding on to his fear of the
challenges of substant abuse that he was going through and
so many people judging him because he felt like he
(16:11):
failed in life and he overdosed himself. And so because
of that, God gave me that vision to do and
I said, I want to do something where it can
help people, where people won't have to be so fearful
of telling their truth. Like you just told your truth
about you being homeless. Some people would have never wanted
to say that. I know, I never wanted to say that.
(16:32):
You know what I'm saying. I was let out before too,
in an apartment complex. And so that magazine has opened
me up and made me tell things about my past
painful experiences. And from the magazine I did children's books,
I did a bio about me telling about my whole life.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
Just being transparent about what's.
Speaker 7 (16:54):
Going on in your life rather than hiding it away,
you know, like most of us do. Lost my parents
in the same brim of losing my son, so every
all three of them passed away in ten months, so
I really didn't have time to heal.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
But listening to those stories help me here, you know
what I'm.
Speaker 7 (17:11):
Saying, Because when you're going through something, you believe you're
the only one that's going through that pain.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
But when you hear other people's story, you just don't know.
Speaker 7 (17:18):
Like they say, you never know what someone's going through
until you hear their story. So that that really opened
up and helped me to not be scared anymore. And
now I'm just not scared, like whatever happens happens, it's.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Just life, you know.
Speaker 7 (17:32):
And I want to be here for a while, so
I don't want to be stressed out and I don't
want to lose my life from stress because it can't
do that. Till you can break your heart, it can
do a lot of things to the inside. So I
don't want that to happen. So I think this magazine
that God placed on me was for a benefit for
me and the person that's receiving it reading the magazines
and telling their story.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
So I'm definitely that's right, that's really right. I'm glad
I met you guys. Like I said, I want to
continue to do more work. Man, this is only the beginning, man.
So yeah, I'm writing a book right now. You know,
I'll go ahead and spell to me. I wasn't gonna
tell nobody, but I got like four chapters up, so
for force myself to get these four chapters done.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
And yes, it's called Life of a Gypsy Champion.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
To Shawn Jackson story my whole life, I've always been
on the road, never really, I mean I had a home,
you know, at my grandmother house, my family and stuff.
As far as having my own family, my own home,
I never had.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
That, you know.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
So so it's called life of a Gypsy Champion. Always
been on the road. Even as a kid, we bounced
from the house, the house, hotel, the hotel as children,
you know. So I tell people as kids that it
really affects your adult life. You know, because to this day,
well now I'm stable, But for the first four or
five years in May, I bounced around from couch to couch,
(18:55):
house to house, and I was in survival.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Moved trying to survive and trying to figure my way
out in the state.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
So but now, you know, trying to change the narrative.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
I got three kids, my baby Elijah, my daughter you know,
Jay Lamb, my youngest baby, Zeke. So trying to be
that example for them, you know, let them know that
if we can't as parents overcome tragedy in life, adversity
in life, our kids can't go through and over them
that you know, we got, it's with us. We gotta
be the strong, That's right.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
What an amazing story, man, because I've never I've never
met anybody from main Yes, I mean really, I mean
I really haven't. You know, Maine is one of those
states that it just doesn't resignating your minds up there.
Speaker 6 (19:41):
You know, It's something I never been.
Speaker 9 (19:43):
And how you how are you with the cold of the.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Transition?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Now?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Man, I said, drive for FedEx like for three and
a half years. So having in the blizzards and all
white conditions.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Yeah, I used to it said, I got you.
Speaker 5 (20:00):
Wow, that's great man. It's kind of quiet there, right.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
It's really good for kids. Business wise, the supportive. I
got a lot of people wearing my brand, A lot
of people support me. And when I told them about,
you know, beating you guys and stuff like that, because all.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Sean, you're getting the magazine. Let us know, man, we're
behind your magazine.
Speaker 9 (20:19):
Yeah yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
It was like, man, let me know, I'll put up
in the stand right here.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I was like, that's right.
Speaker 7 (20:27):
Yeah, that's good that you got good supporters. And and
I was on your website checking at your merchandise.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
I like it. I like it you guys.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I'm gonna see you guys something for you know, collaborating
with me, man, just coming on my show as a blessing.
Speaker 7 (20:41):
Yeah yeah, yeah, definitely definitely. Because I also had started
a clothing line in honor of my son that passed away.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
It's called the Joseph Michael Who Do You Pow?
Speaker 7 (20:53):
So we designed to design hoodies with his logo and
also with a patch that represents mental health. So it
has every condition that a lot of people suffer from.
And then the proceeds that we make from it. I
wanted to donate it to any Mental Health. Yeah, that's
it right there, Any Mental Health a facility, NAMI Foundation
(21:14):
that supports those with depression, bipolar, all of those things.
So I want to give back, and so that's why
I created that. So I'm still we're still working on it.
We just got a lot of things going on. But
God is blessing us, you know, to meet the right people,
and we're glad we met you. So we're like for
people to understand our mission and our story and why
(21:36):
we're doing what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (21:37):
You know, we're not trying to be more of an
entertainment magazine.
Speaker 7 (21:41):
We want to be more of like we're making like
a book, you know, real story, testimonial stories to heal people.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
So that's what bully.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
People hear the name bully and they automatically think of
being bullied.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
But it's how life bullied you, you know, It's how
life bully.
Speaker 7 (21:57):
Life can be a bully, you know, poverty can build
a bully, Homelessness can be a bully.
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Cancer can be a bully, Depression can be a bully.
Speaker 7 (22:05):
It's how that bullied you and how you overcame those challenges.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
That's what Bully represents.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Yes, yes, And I tell you people, you know, for
your listeners, everything that you do in life, I think,
you know, we have to have patience with it. You know,
you have to have patience, patience and perseverance.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
You know.
Speaker 6 (22:26):
Things don't happen overnight, you know.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
Uh. You know, with Bully Magazine being where it is today,
we're still on the ground floor, you know, because it's
things that we want to build around Bullying Magazine, you know,
things that we have that we sit down privately and
talk about how we can you know, reach more people,
especially in the digital digital form, you know, because everybody's
(22:49):
into digital you know, video form and things of that nature.
So we're really looking to you know, expand with Bully
Magazine in that aspect, so people it can reach people
where they are.
Speaker 6 (23:02):
You know.
Speaker 5 (23:03):
We know that you know, your tiktoks and you know,
either Instagram reels and things like that. You know, and
no pun intended, you know, because I'm in the same
lane and I know people attention span you know, can
can be a little you know, a little short these days.
You know, a person will watch a fifteen second video
(23:24):
before they sit down and watch a five minute.
Speaker 6 (23:26):
I mean, that's just how it.
Speaker 5 (23:27):
Is, you know, unless it's something less, unless I'm punting
somebody in the face. You know, let's get real, you know,
I mean people, I mean, we kind of you know,
draw to drama.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
Nothing, there's nothing wrong with that, you know what I mean.
I mean, to each his own.
Speaker 5 (23:41):
But we just want to make sure that we can
not only compete, but I don't want to use the
word compete, that we can pretty much be side to
side with these videos. You know, if your child is
watching a video that's negative, hey, they should be able
to see a positive video following in because.
Speaker 6 (23:59):
I believe in balance, you know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (24:02):
And I know you got kids. You say you got kids,
so you you want to be very you know, mindful
of what they're you know, what's entering their mind mindset
because they're very young, you know. And we can see today, Man,
it really isn't an age thing to it right now,
because you know, mental health is at an all time high.
We can see that every time someone does something, they
(24:23):
blame it on mental health.
Speaker 6 (24:25):
So therefore, you know, anything that you do.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
You know, if I'm watching video after video after video
after video, at some point it's going to do something
to my mind, right, So, ay, at some point, hopefully
we can throw a positive video in the middle of
that thing, right to balance people back to reality, say okay, okay, okay,
you know, and those some of the things that we
talk about, and hopefully we can you know, move forward
(24:52):
with that in the future. But we're taking our time
and and we still we're I'll tell you, man, we're
blessed to be right around the globe. You know. I
like to tell people that because you know, to see
people reading our magazine all around the world, it does
something to you. And it it answers that question.
Speaker 6 (25:12):
You know, did I do this in Vain?
Speaker 5 (25:15):
You know? And every time we see somebody that read
this magazine in the country we never heard of. No, no,
we didn't.
Speaker 6 (25:22):
We didn't do it in Vain.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Because they read a story that could help them in
a third world country or in a country that may
not be as advanced as America. Right. So, and and
you know, for people to not only know what the
magazine are, but know what we stand for around the globe, man,
it's great.
Speaker 6 (25:41):

stuff is important. My wife taught me that you have
to make sure everything is done. You know, I ain't
gonna say what perfection because nothing is perfect, but you
have to you have to brand yourself and make sure
that everything is done correctly. You know, because the consumer,
the consumer is looking for those mistakes. The first thing
(36:58):
they look for is a mistake. You know, you can
write a thousand words, you can write a million words,
but they looking for that one mistake, you know what
I mean. So you just got to make sure that
you persevere, make sure that you you know, are just
being clean with what you're doing, and and just keep
keep doing what you're doing. Man, So what other plans

generous to people you just don't know, you know what
it can do for And then you know, I represent
that too.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
I have nonprofit and out of.
Speaker 7 (40:03):
My son's called Support Joey's Eye, and we do act
the kindness to people because given an act of kindness
can go a long way in someone's life. So I
really like that, I really, I really do like that.
It's not you don't have to have the biggest thing
to make someone smile. It's the small soulken of appreciation.
(40:24):
Even if you just give him a bag with a
bag of goodies.
Speaker 3 (40:27):
How you doing this is for you? That person's gonna
smile thank you, you know, So it's it's smiling.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
So have you made it to the stories up there?
Speaker 5 (40:37):
Maine?
Speaker 2 (40:38):
That's my goal?
Speaker 1 (40:39):
I mean to with a program called Black Home Maine.
There there's still new they're coming out. Their goal is
to help black homes business owners get their store on
products around white stores because Maine is predominantly white state.
I mean, we're we're growing in numbers, but in certain sections.
So you can't go up north. You can't go up
(41:00):
north Maine, you know. So we're still working on that.
But they're working on the program to get every African
American black owned get that tough on stores out here.
Speaker 2 (41:09):
So I'm still working on it. But I'm in the
process of get my own story though.
Speaker 6 (41:14):
So that's the that's great man for you.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
You are doing really well. Shown motivated.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
I mean I do.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
I speak as well too. I go back to home.
Speaker 1 (41:24):
I mean I actually got another speaking event on Monday
at a homeless shelter, So I'll go out there and speak.
I look at them back the shelters and speak and
inspiring them, you know, but letting them know that, you know,
just because you're homeless doesn't don't that doesn't define.
Speaker 2 (41:38):
Who you are as a person. He's still being He's
still a great person.
Speaker 5 (41:41):
You know.
Speaker 1 (41:42):
If you believe in God, there were no average God
that was That means he wasn't going to be average,
That's right, you know. So I want a lot of
people to really believe that because you're telling me I'm average. No,
you're not, Like there's no average guy believe in any
kind of Jesus Christ is what we believe in.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
They're not average.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 6 (42:07):
And you know the great thing about it, man, if
you really people who are are local, you know.
Speaker 5 (42:13):
Have done great you know in their home state, you
know what I mean, And especially like your artists and
stuff like that. There's a lot of artists never left
out their own state and they became successful, you know, so,
so yeah, kudos to you man. Just continue doing that.
And you know we we we most definitely praying that
(42:34):
you get outside of Maine. But you know it's like
to be to get to start something.
Speaker 6 (42:43):
And see that first person with your shirt on. I
know that was everything because I know how we felt.
Speaker 5 (42:49):
You know how we felt when you just got that
very first person to hold up your magazine or say wow,
or you know, see somebody who would read pages and
things like that.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
Just like with my book.
Speaker 6 (43:00):
When you see people reading your.
Speaker 5 (43:01):
Book in the UK and across the globe, man, it
does something to you, I know, I know, when you're
ode up the street you see somebody with your gear on,
You're like, oh man, yeah, yeah, I like that. Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 6 (43:17):
That's everything.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
That's the beauty. That's the success part of.
Speaker 4 (43:21):
It, you know.
Speaker 6 (43:22):
I mean just just just having that feeling of like wow.
Speaker 7 (43:26):
Of your product in someone's hands or in the presence.
It's not always the compensation, it's just the work that
you've done. To know that someone is either using your
product or wearing your merchandise, reading your book, just whatever
it is. It just makes you feel really good. Because
when I hear people say, oh you you bully Bully.
Speaker 6 (43:48):
Baine, Yeah exactly, it feels good, you know, to.
Speaker 3 (43:54):
Get recognized, like I got recognized for one of my
children's books.
Speaker 6 (43:57):
I wrote seven, one.
Speaker 3 (43:58):
Of them got recognized by Operation Smiles.
Speaker 7 (44:01):
I didn't know that was going to happen, but it happened,
and so I'm grateful for that, you know, and just
to them to say, this is a great job what
you're doing.
Speaker 3 (44:08):
You are amazing. Sometimes you feel like you're not doing enough.
Speaker 7 (44:12):
But in God's eyes, God know who you're doing enough.
He gave me that assignment to do. But sometimes when
you wanted to come. It doesn't come when you wanted
to come. But when you hear someone say this is
such a great job and it's going to help me
and help my child, that makes you feel good and
it makes me keep going, you.
Speaker 3 (44:31):
Know what I mean?
Speaker 5 (44:32):
And I think, and I think people have to be
very careful of how fast they want to move because
God is going to move you in the pace that
he needs you, because you have to be prepared. You
have to be prepared, man. You know, we have seen
unprepared people out here. Millions of people know who they
are man, and they lose their mind.
Speaker 6 (44:51):
So you have to be prepared for this journey.
Speaker 5 (44:54):
You know, you have to be prepared because what we're
dealing with is people, and you know, sometimes it's difficult
dealing with two or three people. Can you can you
imagine millions?
Speaker 4 (45:03):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (45:04):
Can you imagine a big budget? Can you imagine you know,
trying to finagle millions and millions of dollars and you know,
showing with your product, trying to get it out, trying
to get it to major stores, and you know, all
that stuff is coming. So he wants to prepare you
and make sure that you're ready for that you know so,
because especially if you're doing it in his name, you know,
(45:25):
especially if we're doing it in God's name, if we're
doing it for God, we just want to make sure
that it's done with excellence. You know, it's not sloppy.
It's done with excellent because that's what God represents, you know,
represents excellent, not sloppiness.
Speaker 7 (45:39):
You know, to be excellent, give you step by step guideline.
So all the resources that you ask for and you
believe that you can't get, they start trickling down. Because
that's what happened with me. I never believe I can
get this far way? Am I gonna get this? I
can't afford that. Can Somebody will come in that knows
somebody or something will happen, or I get blessed from something.
Speaker 3 (46:01):
It always works out. Take your time, stay faithful, and
stay consistent, and be kind of people.
Speaker 6 (46:08):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
And one important thing. You want to go where you
celebrated and not where you're tolerated.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
That and I already mean that because like my brother
Tyrone Pool, he's a two times super Bowl champion, right man,
he sends me his book, send me his book. He
was like refresher it's called the success Game of Life.
He was like, I need you to read my book.
Like I believe in you, I believe in your brand,
and like he's a two time super Bowl champion, he
(46:35):
spend time with me. I tell people like, yeah, you
know so, you want to go where you celebrated and
not be tolerated, you know. And he taught me that,
you know so, And it's very truthful because a lot
of people not gonna like love your success. A lot
of people are gonna not gonna be okay with you
being successful and life, you know, and they hate they're
(46:58):
not supposed to be around you.
Speaker 6 (47:01):
Exactly, exactly.
Speaker 7 (47:02):
Yeah, that's why I like to not stay local all
the time. I like to get around and go to
other places and just you know, not be afraid to move,
you know what I'm saying. So we like to explore
in different places. Like we'll go wherever someone wants to
have us. We'll make it our best to get there.
So we went to Alabama, was invited there. We had
(47:24):
fun with me there and they recognized us and we
had a ball. So we'll go wherever we need to go,
you know, to get our brand out and get it
our name to ring bells, and so.
