Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
There's a new report that shows more Americans are getting
diagnosed and living with cancer.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Nearly one in ten American adults can say they've had cancer.
A new Gallup survey finds the percentage of people who
say they've been diagnosed with cancer is nine point seven percent,
a sharp jump from the seven percent reported in two
thousand and nine. While diagnoses are up, mortality is down.
The American Cancer Society says the overall cancer death rate

(00:27):
dropped one point seven percent each year from twenty thirteen
to twenty twenty two.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
The West Coast Health Alliance disputes a statement from the
CDC that a link between vaccines and autism cannot be
ruled out.

Speaker 4 (00:40):
It says rigorous research of millions of people in multiple
countries over decades provides high quality evidence that vaccines are
not linked to autism. Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition
with genetic and environmental factors. I'm brad Ford.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Well, we're getting into it. The holiday shopping season Black
Friday is good for ds, but bad for our brains.
As pre Tennis explains, the day.

Speaker 5 (01:04):
After Thanksgiving shopping is a rite of passage for many,
but psychologists say you better have a plan because the
day is designed to overwhelm your brain with decision making,
and the pressure of a deal lowers the threshold of
the word no. Officially, it's called the speed accuracy trade off,
and you're doomed the second you interest store.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
Most major retailers will be closed for Thanksgiving Day this year,
details from Lisa Carton.

Speaker 6 (01:28):
Most but not all Ace hardware stores. Aldi will close
its stores for Thanksgiving, along with Best Buy, but the
tech retailers Black Friday hours can be found online. Costco's
warehouse stores will be closed for the holiday, and its
Black Friday hours are available online. Dick Sporting Goods will
be closed on Turkey Day, but will open at six
am for Black Friday shoppers. Other stores opening bright and

(01:51):
early on Friday include JC Penny and Kohle's, which both
will open at five am.

In the title six, Indian Education from Marongo Reservation, So
thank you Marongo Awes.

Speaker 14 (10:27):
And my history.

Speaker 16 (10:28):
Tidbit today is about uh, well, it is Native American
Heritage Month, so I thought we'd do a little Native
American history real quick. This is about we wish acorn
bread since we are going into Thanksgiving. And this was
from nineteen ninety four. Was a dry year with little
rain and the black oaks in many of the mountains

(10:48):
collecting areas were with without acorns. Black acorns have less
tannin and are sweeter than most other varieties. In past times,
the Korea would trade with groups that had not suffered
from the draft. Since each valley, canyon, and mountain had
slightly different weather conditions. In years of plenty, excess supplies
would be traded or stored for the anticipated meager year. However,

(11:11):
since we did not pick any in nineteen ninety three,
a year of plenty, we had to trade in true
Koea fashion to obtain an adequate supply. That's so cool
that it still happened. The acorns were picked were not
from the ground, since those are mostly spoiled, but as
was customary, we placed a cloth on a cleared area
under a laden oak tree. Then, with long sticks we

(11:34):
knocked the acorns off the tree and filled our bags.
This is fun family orientated activity, with the children scrambling
to pick up the fallen nuts. If any acorns get wet,
they must be dried immediately on reaching home and the
moist caps removed to prevent rotting. Any acorns with holes
must be removed otherwise the worm will get into the

(11:55):
good ones. To accelerate the drying process, we place the
acorns in low temp one hundred degree oven. Traditionally this
was done outdoors, and the acorns turned every day acorns
do not only have a hard hour shell to be cracked,
but the brown skin under the shell must also be removed.

Speaker 14 (12:13):
The easiest way to.

Speaker 16 (12:14):
Crack the nut shell is the old fashioned way, namely
by standing it on end with one rock while hitting
it with another. After cracking and removing the shells, we
rub the acorns between our hands to separate the skin
from the nut. Any remaining skins will be will make
the bread bitter. The next step is to grind the acorns.

(12:37):
There are plenty of bedrock mortars in Korea Territory to
test to this activity. We chose to use electric grinder
to speed things up. It is important to grind the
acorns into very fine meal like the consistency of purchased
wheat flour. Miss Salvo showed us how her mother used
to leach the acorns. She stretched a cloth on a

(12:57):
wooden frame measuring twenty four x twenty four, covered the
area with chicken wire. Onto this she spread the acorn
meal evenly. She pours the water for leeching directly onto
the mill, but over her hand while moving it around,
and then all the meal is leached evenly. To make
the bread, we placed one and a half inches of
water in the bottom of the pot of our medium heat,
added a cup of acorn meal, then alternating add watered

(13:21):
and meal until the batter is a consistentency of polenta,
which when that's achieved. When done, the color changes and
it also tastes ready very earth. So you know, we
have all these acorns still in our on our foothills
and in our mountains. All those gardens are still there.

(13:44):
So I always think, if you know woo pits the fan,
I think it's possible we could take groups of people
up there, harvest acorns, bring them down, and even feed
large populations.

Speaker 14 (13:58):
But hopefully we never have to.

Speaker 16 (14:00):
But you know, you could do that now, and just
try it if you want.

Speaker 17 (14:02):
Yeah, And I've actually been blessed to see the process.
I watched a lot of Andrew Zimmerman and he was
in i want to say, Arizona where they were doing
the process of harvested the acorns. And they talked about
the worms when you saw the little hole and you
throw those away because the worm had got it, saw
the whole process, so then put it in their hands.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
They used the rocks to smash them open.

Speaker 17 (14:22):
I saw a similar process when they harvest the pine,
the pine seeds out of the pine cones, you know
what I mean.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
So yeah, very very interesting. Y have you ever had
acorn bread?

Speaker 16 (14:32):
I did, Ken Ramirez from sam Manuel had made it
for the yucca harvest, so was there trying the yucca.
And that's very That's like a lot like a root vegetable, right, yeah,
it's a lot like sugar cane kind of like you know,
with a consistency, but otherwise really good. And then also
the earthy taste of that that we wish is just

(14:54):
like really good. So cool, very cool. And I would
be remiss if I did not say we're gonna miss
you forever. Rowano Ramos and her memorials. Today tomorrow is
the at Saint Adelaide's Church of the Mass, and then

(15:15):
the next day and then later that night will be
the wake and then the next day will be the
burial for the traditional three days. So very uh time
for sam and well but we're still gonna go and
show respect.

Speaker 17 (15:31):
Amen. You know, maybe we should dedicate the show to
her memory.

Speaker 16 (15:35):
Well, that would be awesome, thank you.

Speaker 3 (15:37):
No problem, no problem.

Speaker 17 (15:39):
You know, I know I saw before we dive into
our guests and let them introduces. So you know, I
saw that you had a great affinity for for her
and you spoke about how she you felt like she
treated you like a son, you know what I mean, and.

Speaker 16 (15:52):
That Samnandino's son. Yeah, Like she loved our city and
she she bled for sam Nadino. That that's for sure,
and the like you know, she was a kind of
philanthropist that built whole hospital wings and that's that's the
kind that that you know, really really love our community.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
There you go, Well, hope we let the create a
receiver with love, you know. Definitely, definitely.

Speaker 17 (16:18):
With that being said, we want to introduce our amazing
guests today. We have someone that's going to be rocking

lot of things with us life.

Speaker 16 (16:30):

So that was really definitely definitely yeah. Shout out to Vic. God,
bless you, brother, appreciate you. I'm supporting and being a
blessing to our community. I'm with that being said, Justin,
could you briefly introduce yourself?

Speaker 21 (17:04):
So Gods, I'm just In the neighbor.

Speaker 20 (17:05):
I'm a Christian artist from the Inland Empire, graduated from
fifteen hundred Sound Academy, here to give blessings.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
See blessings there you go.

Speaker 18 (17:14):
I love that for the Ernst Ernest Fenlon Junior here.
You know, I am a person who wants to use
all of my skills and talents tell me the world
a better place really doing heart work rather than headwork,
and so really getting into people's hearts and making change
with art and smart art.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
And smart I like that. I like that.

Speaker 17 (17:36):
With that being said, you know, I met Brother Ernest
through the Brother the Brother Fellowship and it's been a
wonderful experience. But I'll ask you a question about that
a little later on down the line. Right now, kind
of tell us your origin story, because I know you
have an amazing story. Of transformation, redemption and utilizing your
gifts and creativity to do that heartwork throughout our community.

Speaker 18 (17:57):
Okay, give me on time I got Sometimes I need
a clock to count down.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
All right, were done?

Speaker 18 (18:06):
So Brooklyn born, California raised. I grew up on the
East Coast, all the way uptil I was about thirteen,
then came out here with my parents. We had my
father had gotten sick, but then he had to start
all over. He was a board certified OBGYN, so we
tried to come out here get started again. That didn't happen.
Shortly after he passed away, I began to look at

(18:31):
life in a very negative way. I became an alcoholic.
I became just non respondent to life, and eventually became
just disconnected, and eventually I ended up getting incarcerated. I
was incarcerated for fourteen and a half years, came out
in two thousand and five, did three years parole. Since then,

(18:52):
I've been blessed to do so many incredible things. Part
of that comes in is that I've been able to
write two books. I've been in films, I've been in podcasts.
I've been able to go to other countries, go to
other prisons, to inspire people to do the right thing.
Like I said, tomorrow I'll be in a CRC and

(19:12):
teaching class on forgiveness and healing. My goal is, like
I say, with all the work that I do, which
is kind of diverse in different spaces, is just to
begin to connect people back to their hearts because we're
so much in our heads and this is where all
the division is is then these ideas. But when you
get back to the heart and you actually get back
to caring, right, See, people don't care how much you

(19:34):
know until they know how much you care. And I
think this is the key, is learning how to care
for each other and to see each other right. Somebody
once told me that people walk around with a sign
on their forehead like just see me, right, and just
being able to see somebody and look at them and
say I see you. So a lot of my work
is with the marginalized communities, those who are currently and
formally incarcerated, those who are houseless, those who may have

(19:58):
mental health issues, elderly, I too am a care well.
I am caregiver. My mom is in a skill nursing
facility right now. But for the last about five years
I was taking care of her after she broke her
leg and then unfortunately she fell and had to have
brain surgery. So that's where she's in a skilled nursing facility. Yeah,

(20:19):
thank you, thank you. It's been a journey. Like you say,
it's a it's an opportunity to learn about your parent
in a whole different level. Right. And so with the
work that I do, you know, part of it was
at one point I was living the American dream and
then I began to live the American nightmare.

Speaker 20 (20:38):
Right.

Speaker 18 (20:39):
So when I crashed, as they say, kind of like
crashed out. But when when when things went all the
way back to the point of where I was even suicidal, right,
what turned me around?

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Right?

Speaker 18 (20:49):
It was it was things like where people would say,
I see you, Right, it was you are not your actions, right,
You are not judged by your worst mistake nor by
your best option. Right. You are who is your authentic self.
And that started my search back into who I am
and reconnect to who that is right, caring, loving, just

(21:10):
a person who believes in the best and tries to see,
as you said it even in looking at your quote
unquote enemy, right to to to see the light and people.

Speaker 17 (21:21):
That's beautiful that's very very well said. You know, I
know that you have just recently. One of your creative
gifts is poetry. Tell us about your latest I'm offering
that you have recently created.

Speaker 18 (21:35):
Yeah. So this book's called One More Chance to Say Goodbye, Love,
Loss and Hope Poetry from the Abyss and so, yes,
that's me in the center on the cover it. There's
one More Chance to Say Goodbye, which is the main poem,

(21:56):
and there's two pictures of people. One is my sister
and one is my father, both who died at fifty
two years old.

Speaker 16 (22:02):
Your sister's so beautiful, yeah, and she was a very
handsome man, right.

Speaker 18 (22:06):
Thank you, thank you, And both of them died at
fifty two, so thirty years apart. And in the process
learning how to deal with grief, right, learning how to
find hope in loss. And so that was the main poem,
and then with the poetry, a lot of the poems.
So growing up, you know, I mentioned that I got bullied,

(22:27):
and back then when you didn't have the internet, you know,
phones were still with a wire connected.

Speaker 3 (22:32):
To the wall and all that type of soule.

Speaker 18 (22:35):
The big outlet for me was getting to the library
and reading books.

Speaker 3 (22:38):
Right.

Speaker 18 (22:38):
I was at Gralan Poe, you know, earn his Himan
Way and all the other you know, great rights. And
so I began to dive into just learning how to
use words and visualize right, turn them into pictures right.
And so that became something that was important to me.
And so a lot of the poems in the book
this is more of a time capsule. Poems on the

(23:00):
love poems are kind of the coming of age right
from that thirteen to about twenty, where you know, different
situations happened. You know, my poem insignificant right when when
you go to me somebody they don't show up right,
or somebody who you know, or or when it is

(23:20):
working right. And then I also lost and just nature.
And so it was just something that I felt creative,
creatively that I wanted to express. And in particular, I
had somebody who I share the poems with and he
was like, hey man, this stuff is really good. I
was like, dude, you're just saying that, you know, but unfortunately,

(23:43):
you know, he told me to make him a promise,
and I guess he he made me make him a
promise that I get it published. And so after he
passed away, I made a point to you know, one
day fulfill that wish. So putting it all together, all
of my experiences putting you out.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
So definitely, would you like to share a piece?

Speaker 18 (24:03):
All right, So I'm gonna try it now. I'm still
learning how to wait to say.

Speaker 14 (24:07):
You didn't have to twist his arms.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Because I saw you had some some point.

Speaker 18 (24:14):
It looks like, yeah, this is my work in commerce.
There's a couple in here fluorescing. So I'm gonna do
the one more chance to say goodbye. So it takes
a few minutes, but this is for anybody who's ever lost. So,
like I said, my father passed, then my sister passed,

(24:35):
and you know, first I dedicated to him, that dedicated
to my sister. But then I realized when I would
say out loud that so many people were moved. And
I always say when I start, when I'm going to
share it is you know, I always ask people has
anybody ever lost?

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Somebody?

Speaker 18 (24:48):
That right, And so you almost all hands go up
and say, well, this is for you. So I read
that one one more chance to say goodbye. I just
wanted one more chance to say goodbye, to let you
know you will always live in my heart and mind.
I'll envision you forever young, never old, never dying, sharing
love and joy, never cold, never crying. In your eyes,

(25:12):
I see forever in your smile, a tremendous treasure, etched
in my joyful memories, dance images of you, a gift
for eternity. I just wanted one more chance to say goodbye.
Your swift departure, my request forever denied. Each moment since
I have struggled to get through sustain only by the

(25:32):
hope of just seeing you and having frolicking among the
most beautiful creations, laughing, being love, the most exquisite elation.
Where there are no tomorrows, or agonizing goodbyes, or pain
filled tears overflowing the heart, flooding the eyes. I just
wanted one more chance to say goodbye. Life can never

(25:53):
feel the same, even though I try, tormented over I
should have done more, You'd still be here, heart broken
soul screams onto deaf ears, no one perceiving my feelings
of a hurtfulness or needing to prove my ill conceived unworthiness,
false notion why not me first? Has devoured any sense

(26:14):
of self worth and given honor pain from which there
is nowhere to run or hide. I've been living on
the edge of a passive suicide, unintentionally hurting the ones
that love me for love's sake, an unforeseen outcome, a
tragic mistake, falling for the guilt of failure when there
was none, a satanic scheme. Life infinitely beautiful. I've turned

(26:38):
into a nightmare stream, going out backwards, foolishly trying to
rush what's been destined, failing to notice all you taught me.
Life's best lesson a lost plan is that everything happens
for a reason, in its own place and time, in
its own season. Now heedful, I arise from the ashes

(26:58):
of my life. I've made the truth. I now realize
in all of its intricate shades, to wait patiently for
a certainty. My time will come. Insha allot to see
his face, be with you on pain, feel none. The
truth is I really didn't need one more chance to
say goodbye. You never left, because you live forever in

(27:20):
my heart and mind.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Beef, beautiful, beautiful, amazing brother.

Speaker 17 (27:26):
That's my first time hearing you show your hooty and
I love that you know that super resident.

Speaker 16 (27:33):
That's like made me feel like my journey I did
with my dad, and my dad committed suicide and had
I wrote later on to help alleviate that pain because
it was hard to I didn't you know, I had
some counseling, but sometimes you have to just write it out.

Speaker 14 (27:50):
I was following that almost.

Speaker 17 (27:54):
I could relate to that with my father, and it's
like like the part of the point where question what
we could have done right, but it's like there's nothing
we could do exactly right. But you gravitate, you fight
with that as humans, you know, for people that experienced
those kind of foundational losses.

Speaker 18 (28:14):
You know, Yeah, I started it. It was it was
three years after his death, so right after he died.
That's when I blamed myself and the hole just kept
getting bigger and I thought I could drown it out
with alcohol, which just was you know, just I was
emotionally immature. Alcohol didn't help that. It just led to
just disaster. But then like three years later I started

(28:34):
writing it. I was like ten pages and then I
reduced it down there because it started out like why'd
you leave? And then I'm mad at you and then
I'm sorry and all.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
Of these things gamut of emotions. Yeah, but then.

Speaker 16 (28:46):
Eventually it led to enlightenment.

Speaker 14 (28:49):
Yes, eventually, so hopefully that's where the goal is.

Speaker 3 (28:53):
Definitely, definitely.

Speaker 17 (28:54):
You know you mentioned in your story you reference alle
I wanted to know how is your faith helped you
in your journey?

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Oh?

Speaker 18 (29:03):
Absolutely. In my other book called Three Things that Everybody
Wants to Know about You. In five Step Plans for
Life Success, the last chapter is called I had lost
faith as my life turned out differently than I expected.
So my father he got sick of forty two, right,
and so he was battling cancer. I didn't understand it.

(29:23):
I was, you know, my teens. I didn't really understand it.
But over the next decade he was fighting it. But
he didn't want to go check in with the doctors.
You know, he was just you know, going through it.
And so at the end of the day, for me,
I had poured all my faith into him getting well,

(29:44):
and so when he didn't get well, then I was like, okay,
I'm letting go of all faith. I'll just do whatever.
And of course that's where the alcohol is and the
suicide ideations, all of those things began to increase and
just disaster. It was only when I began to, like
I said, you know, begin to read, begin to do
the healing, and like I say, connect to my authentic self.

(30:08):
That's when, you know. And I was incarcerated at the time,
and you know, the only I need to say it's carefully.
The only good thing that I was able to discover,
or one of the good things was I had time,
right time to sit and begin to pursue and really
get connected. And I became Muslim while I was incarcerated,

(30:29):
And while I was there, that allowed me to really
find a way of faith, to really understand all of
this right, life, death, creation, just everything.

Speaker 3 (30:39):
For me.

Speaker 18 (30:39):
I found the answers I was looking for. And so
faith has been the number one driver for me. Like literally,
I often you know, it's it's like you know, one
of those action adventure movies, right, It's like running through things.
And at the time it's.

Speaker 16 (30:56):
Like a full charge battery too. And it does help you,
like inspire you. Yes, I have one. So many people
coming here and their book is not dog like my
books that I have are falling apart. Right, So do
you use this in your work?

Speaker 18 (31:18):
Yes, this one, this is my working copy. This one
just came out this year. This is from two eighteen.
This is my working copy and so I have different
parts marked. You know, you know understanding, you know the life.

Speaker 14 (31:29):
So it keeps inspiring other you keep it. That's just
not sitting on the shelf.

Speaker 18 (31:34):
There's a work there's a work book that goes with it,
but every chapter there's questions afterwards for people to do work.

Speaker 17 (31:40):
Definitely, thank you, brother. I'm going to take before we
pivot away from you want to get.

Speaker 19 (35:15):
Wait wait, but but yeah it might it might be
a or but but he brought such great energy.

Speaker 23 (35:34):
He got off the stage, he worked the crowd, you know,
he looked like a seasoned performer.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
And then talking to him in the parking, I was like, yeah,
I went on tour.

Speaker 23 (35:43):
So he definitely cut his teeth and you can see
that as great presence when he's doing his thing.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
So Justin, what what brought you? What made inspire you
to pursue music?

Speaker 14 (35:53):
Appreciate it?

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Man?

Speaker 20 (35:55):
I really started in high school with my brother Ethan
smith Man. Everything started from there.

Speaker 21 (36:00):
Everyone.

Speaker 20 (36:00):
I feel like everyone's connected to music one way or another.
You know, everyone's been listening to records from when they
were growing up throughout their entire.

Speaker 14 (36:06):
Life, every single movie right literally, it's.

Speaker 21 (36:09):
It's all around us.

Speaker 20 (36:09):
I feel like music is such a big part of
people's lives and they don't even realize it unless they're
like really tapped in. So really start in high school.
I just started making my own beats. I started writing
to those beats, and I met someone at that high
school I went to Rancho Verdi High School. His name's
Asha Muno, and he really inspired me to take it seriously.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Awesome.

Speaker 20 (36:27):
Yeah, he's from the Inland Empire. He's doing a lot
of great things right now. So he really inspired me
to just really take this serious and realize that you can.

Speaker 21 (36:35):
Really go far with your art. You really for your
heart and soul into it.

Speaker 20 (36:38):
It could take you. It could take you far. And
I feel like everyone's idea of far is so different.
But I feel like if you fulfilled, if you feel
fulfilled in what you're doing, you're already successful. If you
could pay your bills with what you're doing, you're successful.
There's so many different ways you could be successful with art.

Speaker 21 (36:57):
So yeah, I really started high school and then I
went to college. Was at cal State.

Speaker 20 (37:00):
Fullerton for a while. I was studying business and I
loved my time there. It really taught me a lot
of different things. I met a lot of great people
in my life when I was at cal State Fullerton.
But as I was going through the classes and the motions,
I was just realizing, this is gonna take me down
a path where.

Speaker 21 (37:15):
I'm gonna get a good job. For sure, I'm gonna
be making money.

Speaker 20 (37:17):
I'm gonna be providing for myself, but I'm not gonna
be fulfilled in what I want to do in life,
you know. So yeah, right right, right, right right. So
I was just sitting in in my economics class and
I was just really thinking, like, is this what I
want to spend my time doing?

Speaker 21 (37:34):
You know, it's not a waste of time.

Speaker 20 (37:35):
I don't think anything is ever a waste of time
in life, oh exactly. But I just started going through
music schools and I was like, I really need to
see what I can do with this, and I found
fifteen hundred Sound Academy. It's a it's a school based
in Inglewood, California. It's the founders are Laurence Dobson, James Founleroy.
They've worked with Roddy Rich, Beyonce, jay Z, Frank Ocean, Yeah,

(37:58):
a lot of big artists. And that school really shaped
who I am as an artist, shape to him as
shaped who I am as a person, gave.

Speaker 21 (38:06):
Me people that I could call family.

Speaker 11 (38:09):
Now.

Speaker 20 (38:10):
I graduated that school in twenty twenty three, and to
this day, we still create together. We're still talking. These
are the type of people that we don't even have
to make music, to be close.

Speaker 22 (38:19):
You know, it's your true family.

Speaker 21 (38:22):
And I just really developed from there.

Speaker 20 (38:24):
After I graduated from the school, I started connecting with
my brothers that ode from the Inland Empire as well,
so everything just kind of meshed perfectly. I remember when
I was first going to the school, the counselor that
she's like, there's this guy here from your ares from
the Inland Empire.

Speaker 21 (38:39):
Try to connect with him, and then just slowly but surely,
it just like worked out.

Speaker 20 (38:43):
And that's the divinity thing. I feel like, you can't
stop what God hasn't planned for you. It's it's gonna
happen whether you like it or don't like it.

Speaker 14 (38:51):
Oh, I like it, I love it.

Speaker 22 (38:53):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Before we dive into the second song, how did you
create your name?

Speaker 20 (42:45):
Just in the Neighbor, So, before I was really making
Christian music, it was strictly secular music.

Speaker 14 (42:52):
I was really indulging, you know, debauchery.

Speaker 21 (42:58):
But I just didn't feel the lines when I was
making that type of music.

Speaker 20 (43:00):
I feel like there's so many artists out there who
could do that and will do that, but that's just
not me in my heart.

Speaker 22 (43:06):
Auly, that's not me in my heart.

Speaker 21 (43:07):
I was raised on Christian values. I was raised literally
grew up in like.

Speaker 20 (43:11):
A private Christian school, all those different things. So it
just took me time. It took me time, and I
felt like God is always calling us and always pulling
us towards him, and so it was really right.

Speaker 26 (43:25):
You know.

Speaker 22 (43:27):
Yes, it just took time.

Speaker 20 (43:28):
And I feel like once I really committed to my faith,
I mean it's always been there, but really like, this
is what I need to do, this is my purpose.
Ill just kind of came together. Just in the neighbor,
Love yourself, Love that neighbor that I love that you have.

Speaker 14 (43:43):
A confidence about you.

so I be myself deeping's drowning.

Speaker 10 (45:51):
That I'm breathing.

Speaker 21 (45:52):
We're sinking out. I'm scheming, reflecting on the freezing. So
Alma was training, reflecting on the reasons.

Speaker 15 (46:00):
Wa.

Speaker 20 (46:01):
Yeah, Jesus Christ, say my soul, I tell you what's

That's beautiful, am.

Speaker 16 (46:56):
My mom always says, impossible is God's starting point.

Speaker 3 (47:01):
I love that shout.

Speaker 17 (47:06):
Definitely, definitely, You know, young man, you are so far
ahead of your time and perspective, the way you present yourself,
your outlook on life, and and the fact that you
because often I was raising the Christian values right, and
it's a point in time and most of our lives
wmen raising those kind of environments because it's very sheltered.

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Sometimes where you get out there, you run as far
away from us.

Speaker 22 (47:31):
That you know.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
It calls to you. It calls to you, it brings
you back in. Like you said, what I love.

Speaker 17 (47:39):
What you said is once I commit it, and once
for all of us, however, each defines their relationship with
the divine or the Creator or whatever faith tradition they
may practice. When you truly commit, it's a vulnerability there
and and and allowing yourself to be used to be
that vessel of that light and love. You know, I
see that radiating, the relief.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
Appreciate that oh it is.

Speaker 21 (48:02):
It can't do this by ourselves.

Speaker 3 (48:04):
Got to know it can't do it by yourself definitely.
So so what's what's the vision, what's the vision for
the music?

Speaker 22 (48:09):
What is what's the dream?

Speaker 14 (48:11):
What do you hope?

Speaker 3 (48:12):
And this is your dreaming? Guy, different dreams, but what's
your dream?

Speaker 25 (48:17):
My dream is.

Speaker 20 (48:18):
Really just to impact. Ever since I've been here on
this earth, I've just wanted to impact. Everyone has talked
about being a caregiver. I can relate a little bit
because I work with kids with autism. Abviously I make music,
that's the dream and everything, but working with those kids
with autism gives me the channel to make revenue and
have impacted their lives, make a difference in their lives
