graduate degrees, Master of Education, Master of Science, and higher Education.
He's well matriculated, everybody. I'm going to just skip to

(03:32):
all of it because at the end of the day,
you're going to learn everything you need to learn about
him during as much as I can this episode of
Our Hour Together, Welcome Michael Finkley to the Kim Jacob Show.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
WHOA I tell you it's gonna be dramatic.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
It's gonna be dramatic. Listen, Mike v Michael Finley us
just take us back, take us back as far as
you want to go, whether it's your childhood, your college years,
whatever place you would like to. Just take us back
on your journey to give us an idea of who
you are. Who is Michael? Not me, but who is Michael?

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Hmmm? Who is Michael? Well, like I said, I held
from the great city of mull in South Carolina, in
the metal state and very rural area. Didn't have a
lot growing up, but we had love. We had a
lot of love. And so you know, my mom was

(04:36):
a single parent raising three kids, and I spent a
lot of time my mom was working a lot, and
we spent a lot of time with our grandparents. My
grandfather was a bishop, he had his own church, and
my grandmother was a first lady. And you know that's
where our spiritual roots came from. Okay, you know we
love me. I love me some Jesus. He loved me

(04:58):
some meat because he died for me. Listen, don't made
me start on that, but yess well, and so that's
where my foundation lies. That's where my foundation lies. I'm
not a religious person. I'm a spiritual being, and so
you know, started from there. My mom was a very
strong advocate for us educationally, so we could not bring

(05:22):
bad graves home, right. She was always strict where to
where when we took spelling tests, if we get words wrong,
we would have to write each word twenty five times
and then show it to the teacher for the teacher
to sign. To get back to my mama, Ain't it something.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
That is you know what that helps shake your future?
For sure?

Speaker 2 (05:44):
I didn't understand back then. I thought it was just
more work. But it molded me to the person I
am today. And so my mom always just you know,
when we believe in something or wander to achieve something,
She's like, we'll go make it happen, make it happen
for yourself. And so that's what we did. You know,

(06:06):
my sisters and I I was working with my two sisters.
I'm a middle child, and so yeah, all that stemmed
from Mullins. And when I went off to college, I
went off and I didn't realize that because I'm first generation,
so I didn't realize that I was attending in HBCU.

(06:27):
But when I got there, I'm like, what was all
these black people doing here? These black people, what's going
on here?

Speaker 1 (06:34):
You didn't have a clue that you were even technically
at at HBCU.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Had I had no clue.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
That's funny, that's nice.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
In my home, I'm like, what a wound. So it
was this. It was the city Columbia, South Carolina, our
capital here in South Carolina. And it was eye opener
for me, you know, being a major city with no
trees and these big buildings and stuff. But I saw
people that looked like me, and they had achieved getting

(07:07):
a bachelor's degree or associates or a master's now even
doctorate degrees. Right now. My parents, my biological father, you know,
he was in maintenance. My mom were in radio part time,
but she were in a factory. My grandfather the best

(07:27):
mechanic in the world. My grandmother best factory worker in
the world. They were good at what they did. They
were blue collar individuals making a living for themselves. But
I knew there was something more right. I didn't know
what it was back then, but I'm like, there's got
to be something more. So I went out to college,

(07:48):
and then I saw people that looked like me. They
were achieving so many different things. I'm like, I want that.
I want that for myself. I didn't know how to
really achieve it or how to get there, but I
learned along the way. And that was back in two
thousand and seven when I, you know, graduated from high school,
went to college, and eighteen years later, I haven't earned doctorate,

(08:13):
just completed and you know, person's like, what do you do?
What you're gonna do with it? Now? First of all,
it's doctor Finkley.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Doctor, give me my pan. Please get this. You're gonna
get this earned degree? Right this recognize that part, right, Thinkley?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
And and you know, I'm I'm not sure, but God
has a plan, so I'm not worried about it. I'm
just gonna enjoy the moment.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
I love it. I don't already correct this stuff. See,
I'm a person that whenever you make a correction and
you learn something, you put it into effect immediately. Ain't
no need, as my grandma say, to wait till later.
You already know what you know, so implement it right then.
So now we're welcoming the doctor Michael faintly to the

(09:05):
Kim Jacobs. You know, I got some really good learning
and information that you share because I think that everything
that you talked about with your mom's persistence in seeing
the greatness in you at an early age and making
it mandatory that you're gonna you're gonna walk this thing out,

(09:27):
it's not that you even have an option. And back
in the day, it looks like you're being overly to
my being too strict on you, if that makes sense.
But then look at the outcome of what's happened. I
just want to put this picture up. Is that is
that your mind?

Speaker 2 (09:42):
That's my love?

Speaker 1 (09:46):
I went backstage and did some deep Dave and I
was like, look at mama. Look at mama. She looks
so happy. That's what lovey Oh.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
That's my mom. And and I was blessed to have
two dads in my life. My biological father passed away,
so that's my I call my biological father daddy, and
I called him dad. That's my dad. They were we
just celebrated sixty years of life. So the birthday and birthdays,

(10:21):
both of their birthdays are in May, so.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
That I was like both, I didn't want to ask
the question I was like, both crown, a crown and
a queen's crown.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
You know, both the birthdays are in May. So they
just turned sixty years old and so my sisters and
I we was like, let's do something for him.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
So that is so sweet And how important is family
because it sounds like you're really connected with your family.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
My family is everything. If I don't talk to my
sisters every day, is every other day or we tech
see each other. I have a brother from my biological
father as well, and we're all just so close. We're
all just so close. You know, we pick at each other,

(11:14):
we played with each other. Even they have kids. I
don't have any children yet, but they all have kids
and so they made me an uncle. But yeah, we're
just all so close. And my mama literally when a
few years ago, when I really came back home and
got settled, my mama, I need to hear from you

(11:35):
every day. Okay, great, but I just want to hear
your voice, how you're doing, You're okay, you need anything?
You are right? Okay? All right? Now you're good knit?

Speaker 1 (11:43):
All right, that's good. Good. So so everybody's very well
to well knit family, loving each other, staying in touch
with each other. So if something happens, you all know
that something.

Speaker 2 (11:56):
Away about your voice or wrong, wading across the bord,
what's all? What's going on?

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, that's so good, Okay, And so I know with
you there have been so many different angles we could
go in with our conversation. But one of the things
I wanted to talk about is your new release Smile.
What made you come up with that name for your
new music release?

Speaker 2 (12:21):
First, well, well, people failed to realize, Kim, is that
I've been writing for the past fourteen years. And yeah,
I started writing back in twenty eleven, and it was
used to be these songs, great songs. I hear scripture

(12:43):
like you know how you go to church and you
hear like the subject of this lesson is and all
this kind of good stuff. And I would just get
inspired from those or got to put a little meddling
in my heart and I would have this notebook from
fourteen years ago, and I still keep around and I
did to write my songs in yeah, and so I'm
just like, these are great songs, these are amazing songs.

(13:04):
When can I put him out? Where can I put
him on the radio? Like I'm just I want the
world to hear them and be inspired by them. And
so what really gave me another I think we're talking
about this later, but what really what really inspired me
was last year when I became nominated, and I tell you,

(13:26):
they just put a spark under my butt. You know,
I'm like, Okay, let's go all right, this is it
because I was telling God the other before before the
nomination happened, I'm like, God, I just need a I
need a bigger platform. I want people when I put
these songs out, I want people to be inspired and
encourage and feel good, and you know, because so much

(13:48):
is going on in the world right And so when
I asked that prayer the next day I found out
and so it was like God saying, Okay, here you go,
here's your big platform. Now go make it happen. And
I've been running ever since I've been in the studio.
And how Smile came about was I love me some

(14:09):
C C whinings and we all did.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
That's all so much.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
And what I love about her is that one of
the things I love about her is that she smiles
while she sings. And so years ago, I was like,
I want to do that too, so I was like,
it doesn't take much of me to smile, because when
I think of the goodness of Jesus and all that
he's Yes, he just was smile on my face and

(14:36):
so and not for just what he's done, but just
for who he is. And so one lady came up
to me years ago, She's like, how do you smile
and sing? I was like, he just makes me smile,
and it always just stuck with me. So when I
wrote the song, I put all that in there, you know,
from waking me up to to lay me down at night.

(14:58):
You know, it's all because of him. And so I
just wanted to be I'm wanting to be a feel
good song, you know, for persons to really reflect and say,
you know, this is what God has done for me.
And once you start thinking about it, he puts that's
not just pops up, right, you know, all these different things,
and it also comes from Proverbs seventeen and twenty two.

(15:21):
You know, it's like laughter, it's just like medicine, right,
yes it is, But what do you do before you laugh?
You smile?

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Smile? That's good, that's good. And you know what, whenever
I think about everything that God has graced you to do.
I know we're going variety of places, but one thing
that I think back on is in our childhood years.
There are some things that happen that people do that
can really shape the outcome of your future. And so

(15:51):
I'm wondering if there are any things that you experienced
throughout your childhood that would encourage somebody else that may
be experiencing some things, because look at what God is
done in your life and how you've overcome anything you'd
like to share.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Childhood wise, like I said, it was hard growing up,
you know sometimes you know, we we didn't have the
evenly essentials because it was just so hard, right, But
God was always there. Oh, my mom always sacrificed. You know.

(16:28):
We didn't have a car at times, so like I said,
I gotta go to work so she would get rise
to work. I've been working since I was twelve thirteen
years old, you know, under the table at times, and
cleaning ditches and just doing just odd jobs in the
community and for different people that own businesses. And still

(16:49):
I was able to get a W two when I
was set at the seen. But that it taught me
how to disciplined. It's taught me how to time management
and something, how to deal with people, you know, all
these different type of things. So even though you know

(17:10):
you don't have to be what you're surroundings say, you
have to be right. You don't have to be a
product of your where you come from. I reaped mothers
to the fullest. Many people don't know where it is.
But at the end of the day, you know, yes, yes,

(17:30):
Marion County area PD pd UH most South Carolina. But
you know, many people don't leave here. Many people you know,
don't pursue the education. Right. But you don't have to
be you don't have to be in that that that
mindsetting because if you know that you're different, and you

(17:54):
know that, you know, if you feel it and you
just know what you have to pursue that feeling. Always
said in life that I never wanted to have the
sugar coulda wood us life. You know, I want to
say I did this and it was successful or I didn't.
I did it, but you know what, this is what
I learned, and it quite time a way it should
have been. But but this is what I learned though, right,

(18:17):
because we can we can use those transpreferable skills and anything.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
So that's good. It sounds like you learned a lot
back in your younger And let me put this up
Mulleins everybody, just so y'all get to see where Mullins,
South Carolina is. It's a small town. I don't know
how many people are there, but it's it's really small.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Everybody over five thousand, okay.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
And so everybody pretty much knows everybody and knows everybody's
business out there.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
In Mulleins, right pretty much. Yeah, especially is this last
year where well I think two years ago where we
had exavierly Get who now plays for the Panthers, was
rafted from so he's he always reads Mulleins as well,
and he's doing very well for himself or if persons

(19:05):
are for me with the Rail Show on on YouTube
where he interviews uh, incredible individuals as well, he's from
Mullins as well, So you should just like small gems
come from this amazing small town.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Doctor Michael Finkley came from this small town. So some
some major things come from this town for sure. And
I and and with your with your show, you have
the Michael Finkley Show. And I normally, like I said backstage,
I don't always share a person's website, but I have
to show this. You guys, look at this masterful masterpiece

(19:49):
of a website. Talk to us about the the Michael.
You got to put the Doctor. You need to put
that in there, The Doctor Michael Finkley show that airs
Money Days at twelve pm Eastern Standard time. Talk to
us about your show.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Yeah, it grew well. My show actually came. Let's go
all the way back. My mom was radio for decades
and so I always loved when she, you know, when
when ty would come into town, she would be right
there interviewing them or introducing them or what have you.
And even when she played music on the radio. I'll

(20:29):
listen to her entire shift. And that is how old
I am. I was like, Mama, keep played this song,
this song, this song, this song, and she'll try her best.
And so when she played it, I would take the tape.
I would take the tape, putting in the tape thing
and pressed the two down so I would have my own.
That's how old I am. But you know, I always

(20:50):
liked that idea of just talk and will raise you
know when we will be home, you know, sometimes faking
being sick sometimes, you know, being there with my grandmother
watching Oprah and Sana, Jesse Rafael and you know Bill
donnad Hugh when all these different people mytail and I
was like, I like this, and so it was always

(21:11):
something in the back of my mind. So the pandemic
came and I was in a very very low place.
The year before, I'd almost died and I had to
have emergency surgery, went to a depression, and I'm like,
you know what, maybe if I talk to somebody, maybe
I feel okay. And so I'm like, let's just start

(21:34):
this whole podcast platform thing. I don't know what to do,
but I'm just going to do it. And so I
turned on my little android phone. They didn't have no
space for nothing in the world, and I just started
talking and I would ask My first show was about educators,
students and parents in COVID Wow, And I already knew

(21:58):
how I wanted laid out. It's kind of good stuff
like that, and and I just got people that I knew.
I'm like, I didn't even know about Zoom at the time.
I reached out to them. I'm like, hey, can you
talk about this and just send me, you know, send
me the video and They're like, sure. So I pieced
it all together and brought a show together and said

(22:22):
I learned about these other avenues, and so I'm like,
I think I'm kind of good at this. And so
I just kept going, and here I am. Five years later,
nine years, nine seasons later, so many awards under CCR
Median Network Award, Entertainment Award later right there here I am.

(22:48):
Here I am, and I cut y'all up. Oh no,
I was done later.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
Here you are and all of these awards behind you,
and tremendou this success is what I was gonna say.
So what do you attribute the success to? Because just
because people start something during the pandemic does not mean
that they end up being as successful as you've become
in this In this.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
World, God, I feel like in this season it's a
part of my purpose. Yes, and so once that aligns
with what you know you need to do, success happens.
None of this would have happened. In fact, it was
out of his wheel. So I know that it's a

(23:34):
part of me right now. Will it be a part
of me five years or ten years or fifteen years
under line, I don't know. Maybe, But as long as
I am following his footsteps and I'm listening and I'm
being obedient. He's gonna tell him what to do, what
you do, so I'm yeah, I'm just gonna follow him.

(23:56):
And like I said, none of this was on my
Bengo card, Like, I just want to talk to people, right,
just gonna have a conversation with people. I didn't even
ask for the big names to come on. You know,
God allowed that to happen. I was just interviewing persons
that you see at Walmart or you know, their teachers
and all this kind of good stuff. But God enlarge

(24:20):
my territory big time. That's what he does.

Speaker 1 (24:24):
Well, I want you all to take a look at
the Michael Finkley Show. As you can see when you
come and experience V. Michael Finkley, you are experiencing something great.
He does signed autographs of his postcards for his guests,
and he is also Grammy nominated artists Doctor Michael D. Finkley,

(24:45):
And so we're gonna hear his song Smile in a
few minutes. But I do want to just introduce you
to some of the different guests that he's experienced and
had the pleasure of interviewing. So just talk to us
about some of the guests that you've interviewed, and what
was it like for you to interview you or meet
even some of these people you may not have even interviewed,
but you just met or were in the presence of
these different kings and queens. And I feel like the

(25:08):
same about you a king as well. So what are
some of your experiences in being in their presence?

Speaker 2 (25:15):
I guess because you have Jennifer, I'll talk about Jennifer first,
but that was doing Grammy Weekend. One of my good homeboys,
and we were in for Grammy Weekend and in LA
this past February, and we were like, let's just go
to the Jennifer Hudson show. Let's just sit at the
audience and be a part of it, because none of

(25:37):
us have never done that before. So we get dressed,
we get there, we had our tickets, and we're just
vibing with people in line. Now that's my thing. I
talked to anybody and everybody, so not only people in line,
but I'm talking with the workers that they are taking
my tickets. I'm talking with individuals that are guiding us
in the line, and I'm just being my authentic self.

(25:59):
You know, and they see this, and so we ended
up in the front row, the front row of that show.
And because we even asked to be in the front row,
that's like, oh, we're gonna put you on the front
row anyway. Yep. Not Yeah, we're gonna do it anyway.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Personality, I'm going back up. You're going on the front row, okay.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
So I'm just like, thank you. And so we you know,
we're doing when we have the excitement of being there
and we're just doing what we need to do. And
I'm talking to him doing commercial breaks and doing breaks
at that I'm like, it's Jennifer looking at us, and
it's like she couldn't take her eyes her eyes off
of us. And so at the end of that show,

(26:41):
you know, they were giving away shirts and stuff, and
he wanted his shirt, and so I'm going to one
of the producers for your shirt. I'm like, okay, cool,
I'm just gonna stand here and look pretty, gonna stand here.
And so he goes and gets his shirt and one
of the producers comes to me and they're like, Jennifer
wants to meet you me and he's like yeah. So

(27:04):
when he came when he comes back I'm like, let's go.
Jennifer wants to mess us, So I grab his arm
and I will run down to the set where she
was and she was like, thank you so much for coming.
This is what the show is all about. Once you
have a feel good time. I love your energy, I
love your excitement, and so we take a picture. That
picture right there, and I even before I couldn't even

(27:27):
I told her that I had my own show, and
she's like, I would love to be on it. So
be on the lookout on twenty twenty six for Jennifer
Husk to be on The Michael Finkley Show.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yea, what's going to happen.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Happen, It's going to happen. But other persons that what
I love about the show. What I love about this
show is that people just become comfortable and they will
say anything in everything that you don't usually hear from
other platforms. And I want people to think and I

(28:01):
want people to reflect, and because I don't, I don't
want to same on medi yocre answers like Lavelle Crawford.
For example, he said to us at the end of
his interview that once he finished making America laugh, he
wants to get to church and save souls and.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Look at God. That show. I've never heard him say
that before.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
I have never heard him say that before any platform,
any platform. So now if you go to his website,
you know my my show is on his on his
website video. Yeah, So like just just blessings like that, right,
they just come out of nowhere because now they always say,

(28:50):
you know, think of your professional and even your emails.
You know, your professional when you're interviewing. I've seen your shows,
I send you in person. You know, all this kind
of good stuff. Now, appreciate that. But at the end
of the day, you know, my name may be on it,
but this is your time to tell your story. And
so many people usually don't get a chance to tell
their authentic story. And once the you know, I feel,

(29:12):
once you're in a comfortable place like that, then you're
going to share anything and everything. You don't know what's
going to come out of their mouths.

Speaker 1 (29:21):
That's really I'm glad you're saying that, doctor Michael, because
here's the thing. Not everyone has that ability to bring
out that comfortability with people. So people can come on,
they can go through a regular interview or whatever, but
to really get to the root of the heart of

(29:41):
what the person is experiencing. That takes a gift and
a special talent. So God has given you that gift
and you're using it very wisely. So you're not just
salting the earth with just one little sprinkle. You're literally
salting the earth and making a difference.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
I have I have one more story. This recently just happened,
Kim and this interview was actually gonna come out later
in the month, but I was able to interview the
one of the top ten contestants of American Honole this
past season, Kobe Jordan. She's gonna be on later in
the month. And what I when I tell you, I bridged.

(30:22):
I just broke down and cried. I've been a crying
baby in this season in my life and I love it.
We met briefly the Stellar Award this past year. And
when she's now, mind you, when I'm on the carpet,
usually I'm at the towards the end of the line
when when other people get to me, So they get

(30:44):
to all the other major networks first, and then they
put us in the in the in the back, and
so by the time she got to me, she's like,
She's like, by the time I saw your face, Mom Finkley,
I knew that I belonged here. She said to me
that I made her feel comfortable. I made her feel wanted.
I made her feel like she did belong in this arena.

(31:05):
She's like, you have to understand, I went through a
lot of people before I got to you, But she's
like that because of your personality, because of who you are,
I felt so much at ease when I got to
you and we started having our conversation. It's like we
were It's like we were old friends just talking and
so literally that made me. I just burst out and
cried and in that in that episode, because sometimes sometimes

(31:32):
you just need to hear it. You know, you go
through so much and you you you're doing show out
the show and you're putting money money behind your your
brand and your name and and what you're doing, and
it's just wow, this show is making a difference.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
So that may show y'all. So y'all get ready for
a tear jerker of a roller coaster ride episode that
he's hosting on his show coming up, and I see
also the family of Finkley talk to us about the
family of Finkley. I love that.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
So you know, my show is just not just not virtual.
You know, we go to different events, we're invited to
a lot of different things, usually just as v I
p say, hey, think we want you there, which want
you in the building. And that's been a blessing. It's
truly been a blessing. So I'm like every time I
try to you know, I'm out and about and I'm

(32:35):
taking these different pictures with everybody. I'm like, I call
my audience, think fam you know, we're family, We're not just.
You're not just. I don't want fans. I want a family,
you know. So it's a family affair, it really really is.
I love him to death. I keep in contact. And

(32:56):
that's another thing as well, when I do my different
interview was I'm not done with you and hopefully you're
not done with me. So how can I help you?
And how can you help me? Right? It's a two
way street. It's a relationship. So I always said that
I don't want to be I don't want to be
a memory, but I want to be unforgettable.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Mm hmm.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
You're going to remember you, You're You're You're definitely gonna
remember me. When you see me again. Got another story,
Artist Major, the artist Major, a fantastic individual, awesome artist,

(33:37):
my dear fraternity brother as well.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
And when the first time, which fraternity, Alpha Fraternity, Like
everybody just know automatically that it's no other right, no
other friend out there, no other friend like it.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
And so so when we met the first time, we
just clicked. And so as time went on. This year alone,
I've seen him by five or six times already, and
in different states, from the West coast to the East coast,
at different events. The last time I saw him we

(34:19):
were at the Grammys together, and I'm sorry the Stellar Awards.
We had the Stell Awards together in Nashville and I
was in the media room and before he started his
press questions, he looked around. He's like where it's Finklick
and so he's he's like coasting the room. He's like

(34:42):
and I did like this to him, and he's like, okay,
I see him, all right, what question you got for me?

Speaker 1 (34:48):
I was like, who is this again that you said?
Because I missed the name.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Oh Major, Oh the artist Major. This is what I
love you? Yes, yes, yes so, but yeah it's just
so true. But That's what I always say it like
I want to be I'm definitely going to be rememberable
to you. You're going to remember who I am. So
we're not done yet. Many artists that I've helped and

(35:13):
many's artists that help meet, you know, because we just
stay in contact with one another. We're texting, we're on
I G. We're calling each other, So you know, it's
all about relationship building.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
I love I love how you go to the extreme
to not only just project your image in the gown
and the things that you do because you're a big personality,
but you also pour that on other people. So one
of the things I know that as a tagline I
was I was reading from yours is educate and form
and inspire Because you educate, you inform, inspire. But I

(35:49):
wonder which of those or do you do them all synergistically?
Is there one that really dominates when you're thinking about
how you handle things.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
I definitely definitely the inspiration aspect. I knew it.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
I knew it.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
Yeah, we're inspiring people just by dialogue, right, just by
the stories we tell on the show. Because somebody may
feel that I'm only one going through this, but when
they hear these stories, They're like, I'm not and this
person overcame. Wow. That means that can overcome too. So

(36:28):
that's why I always tell people, don't be selfish with
your story, because someone needs to hear you. Someone definitely
needs to hear your story in order for them to
achieve their dreams and their goals and their and their
visions right, So don't be stingy. Tell it. Please hurry
up waiting on you.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Tell it. We're waiting on you. We need it inspire
somebody else. The whole world is missing out if you
don't get the opportunity for us to hear your story
because everybody. God gives different gifts and talents to certain
people at the level that he needs to be able
to have you salt the earth with it or we
all miss out. And it's your gift, it's your talent.

(37:07):
So I'm so excited. Listen, we are going to play
your song Smile, and I'm personally when I heard it.
I've heard it and I keep playing and keep playing it,
and it just makes my heart smile, Doctor Michael. It
makes my heart smile to hear the sincerity that you

(37:29):
place behind the words that you are ministering to God's people.
You hear me. I mean, I know I'm not being
your mama over here. If I'm telling you you hear me,
You hear me. Michael. It is incredibly inspiring. And everybody
in the studio audience, when we come back from hearing
this song, I would love for you to ask any
questions comments. I want to take a moment and do

(37:51):
a flash round and go through and just hear what
the studio audience has to say to doctor the doctor
Michael D. Finkly. Right after we hear the song, smile,

Speaker 5 (41:50):

Speaker 2 (41:55):
I raise your dad.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
I do not need to be. You wanna say, cal
I feelt so inspired. What It's not just words, It's
not just a song, It's not just a movement or
a mission. This is something that you can tell God

(42:25):
really gave you exclusively a gift that he gave you,
and then when he went away and he expected something
to happen with that gift and you and you multiplied.
He literally multiplied it because you used it in your
assaulting the earth? What what do you want people to
really feel in their heart when they're hearing that song? Smile?

Speaker 2 (42:50):
Don't you maybe crack him? We're going through a lot
right now. We're going through a lot right now. In
this world. We're going through a lot right now, and
that's crazy. And in life individually, right we're just going

(43:11):
through a lot. You know, we're all going through something.
But at the end of the day, when you look
at your situation, we just say that God is in
immense and that she gives you some type of comfort. Right,
God is still guiding you, he's still molding you, He's
still shaping you to whatever he wants his ultimate plans
to be for you. So this is why we go

(43:33):
through these different things. I asked my aunt before she
passed away. This was years ago. She had a cancer
and she was like, you know, she was just telling
me different things that she was going through, and I'm like,
why do you have it? And she looked at me
and smiled, and it's just like, why not me? And

(43:56):
so that put a smile on my face. Like our
situation and don't have to consume us at them. They don't.
So with a simple smile, I promise you a smile
of him. A smile is the remount of him that
he's gonna keep me. He's gonna, he's gonna, he's gonna

(44:17):
bring me out. And then you start thinking about all
the things that he done brought you out of from
many years ago, and where you are today. You just
have a good old time by yourself. A simple smile
can do that. You know, it doesn't cost money, it
does it doesn't take that much time. My god, smile,
Just smile. I promise you you'll keep somebody. You keep

(44:38):
you from cursing somebody out, say the wrong thing, you know,
staying in your lane. A simple smile can do that.
The smile.

Speaker 1 (44:49):
When I think of smile, because I think I think
of all of the different hats that I know about you.
You're an author, you're a talk to your host, you've
been Grammy nominated, you interview all of these different celebrities
and all this stuff. But then that just one I
keep I know, I keep harping on that one line
or smile. It's like, how how could that? How is

(45:11):
that the one thing that really catapulted, in my opinion,
things to a whole different level. And that's when you
know it's God sent and God ordained. The same word
that we always we always is a girl smile. Smile,
lets you like shine, smile. We hear that all the time,
but when it came from you, it was true.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
It's true. It's true when you're in line with what
God wants you to be in do, It's true. It's
true you're letting your light shine. It's true. Other people
see that. It's true. And that's why I smile so
much when I'm not when I'm not talking on the show,

(45:58):
I'm quiet because I'm listening and I'm reflecting. I'm doing
all of this. But it's true, it's true. Like I said,
you you list all these different things. None of this
was on my Bengo card, right, None of it. I
just wanted to talk with people. So now God is

(46:20):
blessing and pushing me out there and doing all these
different things. A little just a little shy, little black
country boy from all in South Carolina. He's doing this.
I'm not doing anything, Rammy what. I don't know how
to get started. It's a lot of application. What Grammy

(46:42):
awards what me? I don't know. I don't know how
to do any of this. I'm just doing what you
told me to do. But because of the of what
he's done, I can smile, because of what he's going
to do. I can smile because of what he plans
to I can smell mile. Yes, not even what he's done,

(47:02):
just for who he is. I just had to smile.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Yes, yes, you did that. And it takes no extra effort,
in my opinion. See else's entire entire day, everybody, everybody
that I smile and just walk past. And no, I
didn't even intend to do anything, but it turned out
to be something that really was a blessing in their

(47:27):
and their lives. So I carry this light around with
me and it kind of reminds.

Speaker 5 (47:32):
Me of you.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
I've never shown this other it reminds me because it
always tell people to just let our light shine. Just
let your light shine like a city on a hill
and it's just a little tea light, but you know,
just carry carry something around with you as a reminder
that this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.

(47:55):
And that's what I think about when I think about you.
That's why I pulled it out of my bag. I
was like, look at my Lord, this.

Speaker 3 (47:59):
Is what.

Speaker 2 (48:01):
Because that's what he trusts us to do. Though, yes,
we're responsible for that, right, we're responsible for their light.
So shine before men that they may see our great
works because we're trying to pull them into Christ loving kindness.
He pulled us in through loving kindness, so that's what
we're trying to do for individuals as well. So we're
responsible for our life. God trusts us with this light.

(48:24):
That should just make you smile right there. God trusts you,
period trust you enough to say I trust, make it happen,
make it things happy because you're gonna be all right.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
You be all right, and just continue to let that
light shine. I see a lot of people commenting, so
I'm gonna go to the studio audience, and my mom
is the one. She said smile. Oh, now, listen here.
My mom never types this much. She's in her seventies.
She this right here took her the whole show to type.
I promise you, she said, Before my grandson, which is

(48:58):
my son, Gabriel. For many of you that may not know,
I had my son pass away ten years ago at
the age of twelve, she said, before my grandson went
to be with the Lord. Ten years ago. He would
always say, which became his slogan, you are going to
always remember me. And that's he literally he said, you
will remember me. He talked about that Gabriel Michael, named

(49:18):
after two angels. And guess what, my son's light definitely
is still shining ten years later. I was gonna do
this as a commercial break, but I'll go ahead and
say it right now that literally this weekend, this is
Gabe when he was twelve years old. And this weekend
marks ten years and we are having our five K

(49:39):
walk in Concord, North Carolina. So if you all have
not already registered this Saturday, we're having our five K
walk on October eighteenth, y'all make sure that you go
to Gabe's Heart Foundation, and even if you're not able
to physically be there support the organization as a five
oh one c three nonprofit organization. If you'd like to

(49:59):
do a one minute video to be considered for your
organization to win a defibrillator, we are doing a giveaway
on this Saturday for a free defibrillator to be given
away and you do not have to be present to win,
So just post the video and tag at Gabe's Hard Foundation.
Every organization, every sports facility, every church, everybody should have

(50:23):
a defibrillator on hand. If you don't have one, make
sure that you go ahead and do that video and
let us consider you for this free one that we have.
All right, let's go to some more studio audience comments.
Let's see, Miriam said, just smile, just smile, let's see.
Let's see. Thank you all for being in the studio
audience too, because y'all make the show what it is. Yes,

(50:44):
like jabaz enlargement of your territory. Miriam also said, this
is true. We can learn from where we came from
to help us mull in South Carolina to launch us
through our next leg of our story. Every experience as
a chapter of the overall book that is constantly being written.

(51:05):
I want you to talk about that for a brief
second because there's no stage questions and stuff. So what
part of the chapter of your story do you feel
as being written with all that's already transcribed.

Speaker 2 (51:15):
So far, like number wise or you know what, it's
never wise.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
I'm wondering what, God, what do you feel in your
inner man, in your spirit, because you know there are
some things that God put down in your in your spirit.

Speaker 2 (51:31):
Man.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
Yeah, you already been Grammy nominated interviewing all of these
celebrities with CTR Media Network, which is how we connect
it and a lot of different hats that you wear.
Where do you think things are going next for you?

Speaker 2 (51:45):
It's so funny and you say that because a few
weeks ago God it. I just know that twenty twenty
six is going to be big. How I don't know,
but we trust God. Few weeks ago God told me
to start cleaning. M I always want to talk about it.

(52:08):
Thank you Jesus, Come on, come on, I always feel that.
Thank you Lord. He told me to start cleaning. So
I first I started with my house. I went from
room to room. I took a weekend. I went from
room to room until started cleaning. Started throwing things away
to make room for those things that God is going

(52:32):
to provide for me in my next season. Now my body,
I started cleaning up my body as to get with
this extra weight. I gotta because I want to last
long on over God when I when I shout, when
I praised, I want to last a little bit longer
when I worship Him. And so in this, in this

(52:56):
next next period in my life, I know that I
know I'm prepared for something, so I have to when
all this cleaning, because you can't take stuff from previous
seasons to a new level where God is taking you, right,
So I gotta get rid of all this. I got
to get rid of it. So I know this chapter,

(53:20):
this chapter is my preparing, my preparing stage. I'm preparing
for something. I don't know what it is. I'm not
preparing for something, but God is in because you know
it's going to be great. You know he promised us
to are a lot it will be greater. So I'm
just I'm just preparing myself for that for the greater.

(53:41):
Like I said, I don't know what it is, but
I'm walking by faith and not by sight. So I'm
still smiling as I'm walking. So when that time comes,
I'll know it and I'll be ready.

Speaker 1 (53:53):
That's good. That's good.

Speaker 2 (53:55):
So I'm preparing for something. That's what I'm doing now
in this season. I'm preparing for something. All the things
that have happened thus far has been my my my
preparing aspect. God is showing me who he is. Because
when I moved back home three years ago, I'm like,
I don't want to move back. I don't want to
move back home. You know, it's it's mullins. It's like,

(54:16):
why would I want to come back home? But I'm like,
I ain't even be on the West Coast right if
things happened, I need to be in New York, you know,
some other places. But God had to sit me down
and work on me. Three years. Three years. God had
to sit down, sit me down, had to separate me.

Speaker 1 (54:39):
What was that like? Talk to us about that?

Speaker 2 (54:41):
Please? Oh God. At times I thought I was gonna
lose my mind. I was like, God, why am I here?

Speaker 3 (54:49):
Why?

Speaker 2 (54:49):
I just kept asking why, why? Why? Why? Why? But
as time went on, I'm like, I understand, I understand.
I understand. As it got deeper, I understand because where
God is taking me, I can't take many people the
next level God has taken me. I gotta have a
new mindset. I have to be more disciplined, I have

(55:11):
to be more secure and who I am.

Speaker 1 (55:15):
I need to.

Speaker 2 (55:17):
Be more bold, yes in this next season. And I couldn't.
God couldn't get God couldn't teach me all that in noise.
But I had to literally three years. God was just
tear me up, chastising me because you know, he chantised those.
He loves.

Speaker 1 (55:38):
Everything you're saying is in the words so exactly.

Speaker 2 (55:42):
So I'm just like, Okay, I get it now. And
then sometimes I'm just like I want to go out God, No,
stay put.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
No three years? Why do you think it was three years?

Speaker 2 (55:56):
First of all, that's one of his numbers. That's double what.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
But I just.

Speaker 2 (56:10):
I just when you know God, when you know God,
So I just believe that that when you trust him
and know him, He's gonna direct you into the path
of where he wants you to be. So I'm telling
y'all now, and I'm telling you from confidence, never cockiness.

(56:35):
You're going to see the name Michael Finkley everywhere in
twenty twenty six. And I said that first. I never
said that before. Any any of you. I've never said
that before, but you're gonna see more of me in
twenty twenty six than you ever have because God is
leading this, not me. I'm not leaving.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
You can feel it, if anybody can feel it, even
just through the airways. I mean, this is just a
virtual conversation that we're having, and I feel the spirit
of the Lord all over me and it makes me smile,
like I said, in my heart, having this conversation with you.
So it's not this is not just a regular conversation
that we're talking about here. And let me make sure
I didn't miss it. I don't want to miss any

with you being with CTR Media Network, the Doctor Michael Finkley,
but your Michael Finkley Show, and what the reach is
for your platform.

Speaker 2 (59:05):
Oh yeah, so being a part of the CEA Star
Media Network, you know, we were reaching what over three
hundred and fifty home three hundred fifty thousand homes and
over one hundred countries and so that's global reach right there.
Also including with my show, we're ranking high numbers in

(59:28):
Japan and also in South Africa under Entertainment News, and
then we're also ranking that in the US as well,
in the like in the US is like the top
one fifty, in South Africa is the top one hundred,
and then in Japan is the top one fifty as well.

(59:50):
So again you're getting national and global reach just for
being on our shows in that arena. So I'm saying, hey,
come watch us, come watch us. You know, there's a
plethora of platforms on this amazing network that if you're
looking for something, I promise you we got it someone

(01:00:12):
in some form of fashion. Better believe I'm telling you
we ain't got it. Well, we'll get it soon. And
then I'm like, if you're interested you started your own
podcast or your own show, you have a trainer right
here that will assist you.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
I'm just saying, actually, we have our next group training
coming up, and we have three seats left. So if
you're interested in being one of the next three students
that's going through our November training, then definitely reach out
to me right away because and if you say that
you saw it on the Kim Jacob Show or somebody
may screenshot it and send it to a friend that's

(01:00:51):
wanted to start their own virtual show. Then you'll get
ten percent off of your training course as well. And
it's a six week class. So once per week we
connect and we'll go through all of the basics and
everything that you need to be sent over in a
professional manner to c TR Media Network.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
There you go, there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
You want people to know tell us Michael, Doctor Michael,
I always tell you a lot of things, but I
want to make sure that it's pulled all together. What
is the overarching message that you want people to walk
away with when they experience the Doctor Michael Finkley. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:01:34):
So when I always tell people, especially you, and we're
asking the question of dreams and this season of my show,
and so always tell people to pursue their dreams. Always
pursue your dreams because someone's out there waiting on you.
You mean, I know someone told me years ago before
when I when I was just starting my show. There's

(01:01:56):
like thinking, someone's looking at you. I don't know who
it is. Well they're watching. I'm like, thank you, thank
you for that. So someone's waiting for you. And once
you's finally say what you need to say or do
what you need to do, they're going to watch, they're
going to watch, they're going to find you, they're going
to watch and being inspiring and encouraged by that. So

(01:02:17):
definitely pursue your dreams. Make it happen. But why you're
doing it and figuring it out along the way, Just smile.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
And so do you believe everyone can pursue a dream
and have their dream become a reality or do you
think that that's more carved out for specific people only,
because I already.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
No, it's for everybody. God has no perspective persons, you know,
So it's for this thing. That's for everybody. We can.
You can achieve anything you want to. It starts with you.
The only the only way that it won't come to
pass is by you not starting.

Speaker 1 (01:02:56):
Y'all write that. Somebody put that in the comments because
you say it one more time, doctor Michael.

Speaker 2 (01:03:02):
The only way that your dream won't come to pass
is you not starting.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
That is.

Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
Only only way. Just get started. I don't know how
gets to get started. Well, I don't have the resources.
Get started. Well, no, there's no Well there's no get started.
Get started, Get.

Speaker 1 (01:03:27):
Started, somebody.

Speaker 2 (01:03:30):
It's just a post like I'm about to start this. Okay,
you started now let's continue.

Speaker 1 (01:03:37):
Let's get started. And you wrote this book, Biggest Dream
Come True. Tell us the premise behind that book as well.

Speaker 2 (01:03:43):
Yeah, definitely, it's my journey of First of all, it's
it's connected to the song I wrote, Biggest Dream Come True.
It's my theme song to my show. And I'm like,
you know what, I didn't I did something to go
along with the song. So you know what, Hey, I
wrote a book, Biggest Dream Come True. And it starts
off in chapter one with what's your vision? Right? Write

(01:04:05):
the vision to make it plain all the way to Okay,
I've achieved this dream. Now what's my next biggest dream?
So it's a cool workbook that will take you through
the process of achieving your goals and your desires. And
it's actually it's also a workbook. So as you're actually
reading the chapters and you get to the end of
the chapter, I give you reflective questions, so you write

(01:04:27):
and right in the book, so you you have something
to carry along with you to say, you know what,
we're gonna make this happen. And I have it all
right here. Here's my key. I have it all right here.
So that's actually on our website. You go to Michael
Finkleyshow dot com under the Finkling Store and it's right there.

(01:04:47):

game changer. Everything about you is a game changer. And

Michael Finkley Show Best Podcast of the Year World Entertainment Award.

not ever. So you received awards that people never even

(01:05:38):
it could could even receive in their entire lifetime. And
you've received this in less than five years of you
being in existence in this role. That's crazy. That's that's
mind blowing. That's miracle working power of the Lord in
the first century.

Speaker 2 (01:05:53):
In my opinion, it is like I said, none of
this is on my bago card. I had a conversation
with a publish this the other day and she's like, well,

like five years. She's like, no, you have least been
doing this for twenty years, right, I'm like, well, twenty

five years. And she's like, well You've got this, this, this, this,
this and this, and I'm like, god, God, God, God,
God God God. I'm like, Miles, Miles, mouse God. I
just I don't know how else to explain it. I
really really don't. It's all God, it's not and it's

so marvelous.
