Thank you for having me on WalkingHis Ways podcast today. I am the
Beautiful Key. I am a multifacetedentertainer and entrepreneur. I have a very
I would like to say I'm genrelist because I'm a creator, I'm a
writer. My range goes anywhere betweenpop, D M, R and B,

(01:36):
hip hop, reggae, dan tall, you name it, any everything
except country pretty much. I havea natural talent or liking to because I
have a great, huge love forit, including alternative rock. So that's
a little uh summary of my musicstyle. I from my untirepreneurship. I

(02:00):
own a tea company, the onlyRekie powered tea company in the world and
also the only seamoss iced tea onwalmart dot com Keys Specialty Team. I
created this tea brand about five yearsago at least once. My grandmother was
diagnosed with cancer ovarian cancer, andif we have any loved ones or any

(02:23):
experience with cancer and the different medicationsand the many medications that they have to
take. I try to combat andcreate different mixtures of herbs that will help
the symptoms so that way she candecrease her medication. End up working quite
a bit, but that's why itwas created, and it just developed to

(02:45):
more flavors in different purposes along theway, including to be the only Sea
Mons iced tea on Walmart dot com. I also owned the only holistic mobile
spa bus in Texas and in theStates. Any other mobile buses are pretty
much for pet spas or they're forbeauty like meg up or nails. I

(03:07):
have the only holistic healing mobile busand it's known for you know, providing
unique healing methods such as reiki,sound bowls, sound healing, different unique
spa on foot detoxes experiences. Soyeah, and here I am, well,

(03:27):
just listen to yours, your workand your resumes. You're very productive
and that's always a good thing,and and doing anything that you're doing.
Let's just let's go to the beginning. Let me ask you this. Can
you discuss how your airlife experience hadplumed your aspiration and dedication regarding your career.
Hmm. My early life I washonestly early childhood, I was always

(03:51):
involved in theater arts. I gotmy my best birthday, favorite birthday was
my twelfth birthday. I got myYam piano keyboard, Britney spears, in
the Zone was out with y'all Britneyfans out there. That's one of my
favorite CDs. That was a hugefor me at that time. It was

(04:13):
a big year, twelve year andthe year after that, I started writing
songs. So I've been writing musicsince I was thirteen years old. I've
been in theater arts, writing differentschool plays and stuff for the summer and
acting in them. So all theway up into high school where I got
into criminal justice, and I've beencriminal justice head since then, which leads

(04:40):
me to my still being an entertainernow and also my master's degree in Human
Services criminal justice. So I wouldsay my interest has always been especially because
I can. I have very manygifts and it's hard for me to focus

(05:00):
on one. I used to handstitchas a child. I made clothes a
lot, never had a pattern ora sewing class. I had three singers
that I got frustrated, so Inever learned how to use them properly.
Because when a little stepper gets stuckin the thrid gets stuck in there,
I just always be like, I'lljust handstitch it. So I always used

(05:23):
to handstitch my my clothes. SoI'm a pretty creative person. So to
be able to try to involve criminaljustice somehow with that has been quite a
dream. And that's so you alwaysfor I go to the f A good

(05:45):
big shot to my cousin to comein session. It's held speak, she
said, AFL shareing love from SaintLouis. So big, guys. Stree
shot that Saint Louis Is in thehouse was one. I also one of
you. A big shout to BischerThomas shot to him as was he tuning
in this morning. I don't wantto forget everybody who's tuning in this morning.
Gotta get the shots to everybody beforewe go in it further, just

(06:06):
really listen to you key, youhave very fever with that the life since
you own up today. I didn'thear any gaps. I didn't hear any
dia space. It's that boom boomboom boom boom. It was on that.
So were your family more had morestructure in your family? Is your

(06:29):
family go oriented? I know familywant the best for their church. So
what's your top to dad firm wherethey always wanted the best for you,
They always installed ating to you,they wanted the best for you. Do
great things. Absolutely absolutely, supportivemother, supportive stepfather, supportive grandmother,

(06:50):
very my mom very strict and academicfocus, which and she's the as far
as I know, the first collegeand the only college graduate, and our
family, I would be the secondas far as I know, as far
as immediate and whatever. Ye.So yeah, and my stepfather being ten

(07:17):
years younger than my mom, beinginvolved in music, even though that was
my own love, the entice thatthat side, because he was involved in
the entertainment side, and that probablystill is so yeah, yeah, absolutely,

(07:39):
and that was up and like youhad all that support from your family,
then you got the support at thatgreenlighte from your family. It's like,
you know, did you all anddo great extraordinary thing that yourself that
you're doing And like I said,just you doing this? You're doing I
know you're from Houston, Texas ofcourse, So how is how it was

(08:00):
growing up in Houston? Are youstill resigning Houston? Correct? Yes?
Kind of ye, Yes, growingup in Houston is great. I'm a
very cultural loving person, so Houstonis definitely a melting pot for that.

(08:22):
Kind of like New York, youhave everybody from Asians, Africans to Hispanic
to you know us on down.So it's it's always a pleasure to be
around different people with different walks oflife. Uh, that bring you different
types of food that you fall inlove with. I'm a foodie, so

(08:46):
and we got the best food.To another point, so Houston, Houston
is great. Houston is great,very cultural, good food, good good
entertained and great history. And itwas up right there. My nextwitch is
can you identify a particular moment orevent that guide you towards your career path.

(09:16):
I don't know if it's a particularmoment because I'm such a scattered energy
and I've been trying to make thethings that I'm involved in make sense or
somehow monetized together. It was neverjust a specific moment. It's whatever I'm

(09:37):
feeling that day, or whatever vibeI'm on right now. I go towards
that and wherever that may lead.It leads, but no specific moment at
all. Right, So you alwaysan individual who always challenge yourself, take
a change at doing something different andkeep more interesting. The real winner is

(10:03):
the real loser is the one whodoes not take risks. We know being
a winner tastes risk, so youalways consider yourself being a risk taker doing
something. Okay, let me goall in with it. Hey, if
it work out, work out,it don't it don't at least I said
I did something. So when yousay you're that type of individual, yes,

(10:26):
absolutely. I can't even tell youhow many jobs I've had, especially
from the twenty twenty year old span. Yeah, yeah, I gotta do
it. And it's so funny becauseI'm a virgo, so you know,

(10:48):
they have their their stereotypes on.We're planners, and you know, we're
very anal and detailed and stuff.And it's like I am to a certain
extent. If I'm too detailed ortoo plan I'm not going to want to
do it. So I'll plan theA and B and go for it.
My mom is more able and andshe's like, well, what a through
z. You know what if thishappened this you need to plant. I

(11:09):
don't have time for that. I'mnot gonna want to do it anymore.
I have to burn this energy thatI have on it right now before I
get tired of it. Anyway,So yeah, it's challenging. Well,
Well, let me ask you this, do you consider yourself a free thinker?
When I say a free thinker.I mean thinking your own You move

(11:31):
about according to where you see howyou see it, instead of being dectated
on allowing somebody else to control yournarrative. That makes sense. Absolutely.
I didn't know the word for it, but hello, yes, I am
definitely because nobody can. For one, nobody can see what you see.

(11:54):
Definitely. You know, even ifyou try to explain your dream to somebody,
you can only explain so much.They still can't see your vision and
how you see it. Therefore,they're not going to believe in it the
way. Even if somebody supports andbelieves in you, they can't believe in
your vision the way that you dobecause they don't see it the way that
you do. And last, butnot least, everybody has a different path.

(12:20):
What works for you or what worksfor someone else may not work for
you, and so on and soforth. So you have to try it
out. And that's what makes meso much your risk. Second, because
I'm okay with okay if it didn'twork out versus I never tried it right,
right, because the likes of thereal loss of the situation when you
never attempted to try it. Andwe know a lot of thing comes in

(12:43):
which is fear is illusion. Weknow that, and you talk about the
things feeling like you're not good enough, you're not worry enough, believe in
yourself. We was always just talkedto believe in other things, but never
talk to believe in ourselves. Sothat's why people brain judgment on themselves.
Oh, I can't do that,my background, my history, how I

(13:05):
look. But it's greatness on theinside of us. And lot were so
called to see the answers out there, but the answer is on the inside
of us and believing in your ability, believing who you are, knowing who
you are, learning who you are, not to be tossed to and fro

(13:26):
by other people of opinions. Thatthat makes sense. Absolutely, It's a
lot of time we become a slaveto other people opinions. What you say
about that, I believe that's trueto that, especially when you're not strong
enough to believe in your own Uh, it's you gotta you gotta believe in
yourself. Stand on on business asthey say, you know, really put

(13:48):
invest in yourself. You know,give yourself their credit. If you're wrong,
you're wrong. It's nobody's gonna gohard for you. Like you.
Yeah, most definitely. And it'sall about taking the dagger prices as well.
And we know we're gonna get moreoften. Today, we gonna take
a quick commercial break and then we'regonna be jumped. We'll be right back

also gonna get a bit out tomy guests this morning, Key out of

(18:18):
Houston, Texas. Take a timeout of the schedule, come on with
as she takes behind the scenes onwho are who she is doing the store
and everything. And of course,like I said earlier, was quite impressive.
Its resume. That's talking about workif it, how would you consider
your work eff it when it comesto sex in order wood to be successful?
Yeah, that was very very verystrong work ethic. So how would

(18:41):
you consider your work if it?What would you rape your work ethic?
And I'm asking you this, whatdoes it take for an individual to work
alongside you? What was the numberone thing you're looking for when it comes
to work ethic and spirts of allbuilding the team? Mm hmm. Okay,

(19:02):
So first of all, work ethic, how would I rate mind?
We'll rate my work ethic a goodeight and a half and I only give
it an eight and a half becauseI struggle with focus and if I was
more focused, Uh yeah, itwould definitely be a tend So I would

(19:26):
say eight and a half. Whatdo I think or how do I feel
about someone's else's work ethic in regardsto working with me? Uh? If
you yeah, you gotta be goaloriented or have a certain goal in mind
and just be consistent or about yourword and actually serious about whatever it is

(19:48):
that you're trying to accomplish. Andif working with me we have a common
goal that we're trying to accomplish,be a good communicator, be consistent,
and be more organized as well,because the more organized it is, then
the quicker and more efficient we canreach the common goal. Right because because

(20:11):
he we always involved and were alwayswrong, always elevating, and we know
everything has to do with the mindset. Yeh, friends, what we think
I'm gonna go build be for amoment even the boss balls tells us not
to be conformed to this will bebe transformed by the rental life. Our
mind and meaning know the good andsell the purpose. We know everything with
your mind, having the mindset tosee things differently, Like I just say

(20:36):
back to change change your mind,change your life. So you have to
develop this, work on this andit's not a one time thing. It's
just like when you want to loseweight. You know it takes time to
lose weight. That weight didn't comeovernight. It took years to see it,
to put that weight on, andnot taste time to take that weight
off. But we know it's nota one time thing. So that that's

(21:00):
how I look at it. Soit's comfortable being back layers to become who
you want to become, where youwant to be, and then knowing who
you are, coming to the knowledgeand self. The worse than I really
hate is having time wasted and notbeing an individual word. I despise that
a lot because time is important andbeing an individual words or in a lot

(21:22):
of You got to understand that ifyou're gonna do something for someone, do
it. If you're not gonna doit, just tell them, hey,
I'm not gonna be able to doit. Yeah, don't say yeah,
I'm gonna do it, and thenpeople are expecting you to do it then
last minute you can do it.Yeah, and that's that's something I really
like. Always be a man andwoman your word. Always respect other people's

(21:47):
time, and time is importing toeverybody. That's something we don't get back.
We're going to say about that.Absolutely. I'm very big on that,
very big value in people's time becauseyou you're right, you don't get
it back. With money. Youcan always give it back, make it
back time you cannot. Yeah,most definitely. And I'm gonna ask you

(22:11):
this too. What drives you?What drive was seen? Is that a
cause of mission? That hole isdeeply sniffing for you? What is it
that that? What is that thatdo you hold dearly to you that drives
you? What is that deep downthe side that you believe in that drives

(22:33):
you even more? I don't know. If I have a specific thing,
it would it would be me andfamily, me just always not being content,
right, I don't, I don'tknow. I really don't know.

(22:53):
I have no I don't have anychildren. I don't you know, I
don't I could really be doing whatever, So I really don't know. I'm
not gonna lie to you. Hey, even know what you're being honest and

(23:14):
I know you have individuals even thoughyou believe in yourself you're your own cheerleader,
but I know you have family friendswho absolutely cheering for you as well.
And now only that you are inspiringother individuals. I mean will Spell
said the interview years ago that hewanted to represent possibility. When he said
represent possibilities, he wanted to showother people, Okay, I'm living on

(23:37):
my dream, I'm walking in mypurpose, my desk and whatever that it
inspire them. It's all about possibilitiestaking the limits off. We put limits
in ourselves too too much when itcomes to life because we was influenced by
other individual words. Well, wedidn't believe in ourselves. We limit ourselves

(23:59):
because our background. I hears youand they name it, but knowing that
there's greatness on the inside of you. And I'm the type of person key
that I believe in approaching everything onethousand percent, like we're doing this interview,
I believe should be one thousand percent. And then all that you do,
you should put in one thousand percent. And because it's something that you

(24:22):
enjoy doing, this is something thatyou love tonight and by your end,
I can see the individual you putin one thousand percent and what you do
absolutely And I just talk about schedulewise, at the start of your day,
I like to get up early.I work at night, but when
I'm off, I like to getup early in the morning. Especially,

(24:45):
got back into the gym again.I set my goal day. I want
to get up at three o'clock inthe morning, get in the gym about
four in the morning. I wastelling myself the other day, I said,
it's to the point now we haveto start getting up early. It
just mean that we have to startgetting up early now before the sun rise
to get things done. As awoman of your schedule, how what time

(25:06):
do you start your day? Becausewe know it's on the twenty four hour
within a day, but I knowyou are a business woman. Yeah,
so what time do you start yourday? Around five or six? Five
or six. I gotta get up, meditate, pray, you know,

(25:29):
skincare workout. I dreaded. Idreaded. Uh by Alexis, I dreaded
so much. But got to changeyour mindset because it's definitely a lifestyle and
you got to keep your body movingand healthy. Uh. And then I

(25:49):
pretty much get my day started fromthere. If I have time to do
any house cleaning or you know,things that sore for organizing for my week.
I like to organize as much ofmy year that I know of as
possible, Like I use my calendar, my Google calendar, and my iPhone

(26:14):
calendar for a lot, especially ifI know about it, because I like
to kind of stay as organized aspossible. Some of the most organized.
Oh yeah, most matter. IfI got a question too for you,
man, Well, I got aquestion be a tics the shout to my
sisters watching this morning, and shesaid what made she made? Okay,

(26:37):
what made you go into for counselingforensic Yeah, and what's parked your interest?
I've since high school been involved incriminal justice. Like I said,
uh, I kind of like tooka step back. You know, confidence
is important as a kid. Ididn't always have it. So I wanted

(27:02):
to withdraw a little bit more.And that was just another interest of mine
that enabled me to withdraw, soto speak. So I graduated with my
dispatch license. I went to samHouston State University, majored in criminal justice.
And I've always I either wanted tobe a sane nurse or a forensic

(27:22):
psychologist or a prosecutor. I knowpeople were like, oh my gosh,
prosecutors, but say nurse, asane nurse is a sexual assault nurse examiner.
It's only a few of them inthe country, and they deal with
sexual assault cases. That's one ofthe forensic psychology. It's more if you

(27:45):
ever watched Law and Order, it'sfor you. The black lady with the
curly hair, she did the forensicscience on finding the evidence. But the
forensic psychologists would be the one talkingto the victims or bringing you their value
of the perpetrator, things of thatsort. You know, the mind or
if you ever seen Silence of theLambs. Clarice was a forensic psychologist and

(28:10):
that's just always been that part ofinterest, a huge interest of mind.
And then last, but not least, prosecutor or being a prosecutor because I
wanted to be able to be ina position, after learning more in criminal
justice, to be able to offerdeals versus just trying to give people time.

(28:32):
Like I wanted to be able tobe the one that I was connected
with the community, different business ownersto where if I'm getting a knucklehead brought
in here that don't have no guidanceor anything, I know somebody that'll be
a good mentor for him, andhe got to go work for him,
and that's free labor. Plus youdon't have to do jail time, you
know, community service if you will, especially if it's something that that person

(28:55):
can learn from versus just throwing timeat them, just trying to actually rehabilitate,
if you will. But yeah,those were my Those were all my
always my main three interests when itcomes to criminal justice. So yeah,
it's been yeah, hey, buthey, that what was up? And

(29:15):
I'm gonna ask you this furthermore,do you have any mentors or individuals who
inspire you? M not gonna liesnobody doing what I'm doing, So I
don't necessarily have one as far as, uh my guideline or what I'm my

(29:41):
career based, but as far asmental my mom, Yeah, my mom,
such a god took his time,like creating her heart in her mind.
I don't know if I'll ever haveas much great patience is that woman,

(30:03):
Just always knowing what to do,always having a level headed answer and
solution. Yeah, just so manylessons learned, uh that go through life,
love, life, career, workwherever. Yeah, my mom,

(30:26):
Okay, I'll be shot to yourmom as well. Be shot there you
ar roses of course. And I'mgonna ask you this too. How has
your world view about over the years? And when you say that I saw
that, what do you mean bythat? The times the things are changing,
you know the times are changing,but everything remained the same. How

(30:51):
have you how do you see thisworld now? We know we're in the
world now that it's jacked up theoutside well, not our not our work
that we can create because of theword that we can create. Individual is
beautiful, but the work, thethings around that you see, the stuff
that's going around, the chaos.The view we in the time now where
individuals become are very sensitive. Iremember back in the day we can watch

(31:14):
television shows and they would say alltypes of stuff and everybody will have a
good laugh at it. Now ifyou say things now, it's highly offensive
now. So that's why I askedyou about asking is how has your view
changed on that? On being carefulwhat you say, you know, your
pro your delivery. Everybody is soso offensive now, not everybody, but

(31:40):
some individuals very very offensive now.And as you been in this business,
where how do you how does yourwords be changed according to the business you
do, if that makes sense that, yes, yes, thank you for
explaining that so interesting I have.I have different views on that, and

(32:01):
it definitely depends on where you're atin life. I'm always the type to
laugh at you know, like whenartists take stuff out their songs and make
apologies for certain things that we knowweren't they didn't mean to be offensive on.
Like, for instance, one withthe Lizzo and Beyonce. I think

(32:23):
they had to take out a wordor something from their song that they that
I know. From Beyonce's it wasfast and I'll never forget that, I'm
like, and she took it offlike immediately, because fast is a derogatory
term for amputees, which is shortfor spasms. I learned that because my

(32:45):
mother has one on so uh,and I asked her, But again,
we use fast as going crazy.I've never heard that used in a derogatory
manner, so I asked her onceI find, I say, is that
something that offends you or something that'sknown? She say, well, it
is a derogatory term. That sheexplained it what it meant to me,

(33:07):
she said, But I have neverheard it being used as such. I
say okay, because okay, Iwant to check in what I call her
the Queen of eighty eight. Sheca't do that, but that's my girl.
Yeah. So I'm I'm like,I'm very hot, high headed if

(33:30):
you will. Uh So, ifI said it, I meant it,
stood on it. That's how Ifelt. That's right. Now you get
tied to more partnerships and more moneyand more people involved on your reputation.
You know, it's dependent on theserelationships or contracts, things of that sort,

(33:53):
and it can also affect your familyor affect those Then you just know
comment or don't do interviews like theunsafe right, right, I just want
to save the headache, right andI understand that totally. Could you have
to don't ask this too? Uh? What is what is surprise or understated

(34:15):
factor? What is the surprise orunderspent the fact about you that nobody don't
even know about. I don't knowif it's surprising, I don't know.
I don't know if it's surprising.I can cook my butt off. When
I graduated with my master's degree,Johnny Carober gifted me a recipe book.

(34:35):
We try to actually grab it realquickly. Sure, go ahead, Yeah,
so Johnny Carober gifted me with arecipe book once I graduated, and
he signed it, wrote a letterin there for me, and I have
not used it yet, And everytime I go in the kitchen, I'm
like, I want to cook this, and cook this. I never use

(34:58):
a recipe when I cook. Icould throw down though, And like I
said, handstitch. Tell myself howto handstitch clothes. I used to make
dresses. I was big on patchwork, you know, sewing different parts of
different clothing together and wearing them.Used to wear my clothes to school all

(35:20):
the time. Tell y'all funny story. We know we have black moms here.
I was so proud I had.I never forget. I had some
cashmere material It was like gold,shimmery cashmere. I made me a halt
atop, sold me a hort tostop. I think I was like fifteen,
and I made I had some bluega materials. I made me a

(35:42):
mini skirt, so me a miniskirt, and I had some fabric glue,
and so I wrote my initials witha heart KT right that and the
gold so I could match my halto top. So freaking proud. My
friend came up. But I waslike, we're going down with and this
today. We had to walk downthe street to meet my mom for her
to so she ain't have to comeall the way down the street to the

(36:05):
house, so we can just geton the interstage. She could drop us
off. Yeah, she ended upseeing me, got in the call.
We went right to that house bymy butt beat, and I had to
change and get back in the callwith my best friend, like, ain't
nothing happening going and enjoy my daybecause it was inappropriate for you know,

(36:30):
a child to be to be wearing, which could have been explained. But
you know parents don't always explain themselves. Well we you know, we had
conversations on this on the show beforeand we know they our parents was on
the pass down from the information theygot from their parents. Yes, and
we're in a generation now where wewas never taught to question things where it

(36:52):
came from religion to other things.You know, digitality came or bit shocked
to be needed. And this conversationcame up, like they just tell us
don't do drugs. Why not dodrugs? And they'll explained to you.
They would always say, don't dodrugs, And so it's like don't do

(37:13):
drugs. Then you keep saying don'tdo drugs, But why why you say
that for it? Why does hedon't do it? And that's kind and
that's type of virum moved in.Like he said, he came to outside,
and when we got on the outside, that's when we were exposed to
a lot of things that made sense. Like six, sex was not brought
up in the household. You didn'tknow anything about sex until you go on

(37:36):
the outside. Like I said,stay with the guys. Ain't know think
about says until you had what thefriend who uncle had the magazines and the
and the videos and you and youseek and watch those things. But we
never talked about those things. Sothat's what I see now we're becoming more
transparent now per se when we're startingto have these conversations, just like when

(37:59):
it comes to relationship, we neverhad these conversations, these open conversations per
se when we get to know them, when you're getting okay, when you
meaning someone, they tell you whatyou want to hear. They say all
these right things, but they gotsome things in their life that they're like

(38:21):
to participate in or struggling in.So now it's like when you get into
these relationships and get into these marriages, then these things come out and be
like, oh I didn't find themfor this, but now I'm glad Now
where individuals are starting to talk aboutthese things now and they gives the other
person a choice where they wanted tobe with you or not. Just like

(38:43):
let's say for a job. Youknow, you go for a job interview,
they explain the job, They explaininghours of time, things of that
nature. They don't they don't forceit on you. They tell you,
hey, this is what it allcomes down. All you insurrected. All
you do is say yay or nay. Yeah, So I'm glad now we're
getting into that term now, isthat like Okay, this is what I

(39:05):
go through, this is what Iexperience. Nah, that give the other
individual choice what it is saving otherpeople, saving my time and saving your
time. That's why I want toget at Yeah, to close out on
that, I was the only childfor nineteen years. I have a twelve

(39:27):
year old brother, and like yousaid, you know my mom's from the
seventies seventy one. Ain't no explainingsbecause I said so. So I grew
up so with me being more handson with helping her. You know,
with my younger brother's totally different andit takes a lot of patience and for

(39:50):
her getting adjusted to but she doessuch a great job because it's so hard
to change their mindset, especially whenit been like that for so long and
then they got to raise another child. And it's like, as I was
able to give and I'm able tohelp with my standpoint, what worked for
me, what helped me, andwhat didn't And for that, I tell

(40:13):
her I respected the don't explain,I said, but that also hindered me
because like for instance, with that, I said, you just could have
told me that you know, itwas inappropriate for me to wear and change,
you know, everything else didn't haveto come with it as far as
and then you know your child.With some you know your child. So
it's with knowing your child everybody,don't. You don't have to do that

(40:36):
with every child. Some yeah,but you know, certain things like that.
So I talked to her about him. You know, you can have
still have that mindset because it's allabout respect and respect that I'm your guardian.
I have your best interests, sojust trust me on it. You
don't need to know everything, becauseit's a part of being a child.
If I told you everything that's goingon in the world that I'm trying to

(40:59):
protect you from, it would dampenthat, you know, So you just
got to trust me on it.But I do try to give her a
balance with talking to him more liketry to try to tell him why,
you know, because you could tella child no, no, no,
like you don't do drug with why. Well, I'm about to find out.

(41:21):
He ain't about to tell me.We do, right, Yeah,
that's what I'm saying, And that'sahead No, No, I'm sorry,
No, I mean, that's basicallywhat it is. Like the probly comes
to everything. It's like when you'regoing for a house, you just don't
go for the first house you see. You do research, right, you
find out, Okay, it's agood location. It's the foundation of the

(41:45):
part. Is this of the part? We don't we just go along so
we okay, I'm going like thisand I say this on the show too,
And this comes back to my mindwhen I'm going to Biblical for a
moment. When Jesus said to thedisciples, have you considered the cast he
gave? He gave a parable butbefore you start building something, Have you

(42:10):
sit down and considered the cost beforeyou do anything? Have you sit down
and consider the casts. Now it'slike you have to sit there and think
about this thing. That's why youtell a person or don't. Don't answer
so fast, think about it,get back with me. That's going back
to this conversation. If we havea discussion and I say, and I

(42:32):
explain something to you, I don'tspeak to you the answer right quick,
think about it, let it marinate, and then get back with me with
an answer. That makes sin absolutelybecause we quit the answer. So so
okay, Like, for example,you may like a certain thing and you
tell the individual I like to doa certain thing. Oh yeah, yeah,

(42:53):
I like that. I like thattoo, But then when they come
down to it, they don't likein the first place. But they only
did that because, well, ifI told her no, that means she's
not gonna give me the time ofday. You're gonna you do a more
damage than anything. It doesn't justbeing honest with yourself and I learned that
too. Now, key is individuallyhave to learn how to be honest with

(43:15):
themselves. And I see why peoplepeople try to just they hate it I
don't know what it is. Theythey don't like to be honest themselves,
like a A I have never beena mean by able to tell you amit
that you have a problem. Onceyou admit that you have a problem,
that's when you'll get your breakthrough.But getting back to the poor of the

(43:37):
sort is you can present me withsomething I should you shouldn't want me to
answer right then and there. It'slike I want you to think about it.
Since it is, think about it, then come back give me an
answer that makes sense absolutely, becausewe don't want what The thing about it
is, Hey, we don't wantto waste nobody's time, and you don't

(43:58):
want your time, waste my time. It's valuing other people's time and don't
waste people's time. Absolutely, Sothat's why I would get at But to
the point now where starting to beopen because we're never taught to be open
about a lot of things. Wekeep stuff to ourselves and then we deal

(44:19):
with these typics, especially trauma.You know, I got this book Laws
of Human Nature. It's plain alot of things start back with our childhood.
Wow, so we got to thinkabout it. If you deal a
thing with your childhood, and younever really got it dealt with you carrying
this stuff on in your adulthood whereit's gonna fit your business, it's gonna
fit your relationships with people. Andwe see this every day, especially within

(44:43):
our community. Yeah, so it'sso last time. I'm glad. Now
we're being more transparent than anything.You have, anything you want to come
in on that, anything you wantto add, absolutely believe that. I'm
gonna leave off with the funny thing. Meet up with my best friend.

(45:04):
At least once a month, wego to the bar. He's an engineer,
so we go right after he getsout at midnight. And you know,
last night from my drive leaving hometo meet him at the bar is
three new disc tracks that has droppedlast night with hip hop and we were

(45:25):
just laughing, you know, withone of the parts that Kendrick was responding
to, and he was like,you know, I know everything you said
about me is true, and mybest friend was just laughing. He said,
this is this is you. Thisis something that you would do if
someone pushing you there, because it'sall about owning up, like being okay

(45:45):
with your flaws and owning up andbeing honest with yourself and talking to God.
And a lot of people don't dothat. A lot of people are
in denial that they run from it, from themselves. And it's like,
just because you're hiding from your symptommeans somebody else can't see it. But
you own up to it. Youcan stand on it. You know you
can stand on it is what itis. I'm not perfect, nobody is.

(46:05):
Those are my flaws, you know, talk about yours? Yeah,
because you know, I believe onI believe in working on self. You
know, working yourself, you're workingyourself. When you become the better man,
You're drawing better people when you cometo better want me drawing better people?
Yes, when it comes to therelation, you know you hit it
cliche my better half? You knowI don't believe in no better half.

(46:28):
You already you hold when we met. You know that does my opinion?
Everybody have their own different opinion.This person makes me happy, No,
you should be already happy before theperson came into your life. So that
is what he's a clich that weused to say. So you're based on
your basing your happiness on someone else. So this person up and leave you,

(46:51):
You're not gonna be happy no more, absolutely absolutely great point. But
we say that, but we saythat is foolish, you know what I'm
saying it. And we thought thatJoe was cool, but it wasn't cool,
could you? You're basing your happinesson the indivision when you should always
be happy with yourself. And butlastly, not leastly lastly, I want

(47:12):
to say, what advice will yougive someone who wants to step off into
their career like you did? Ofcourse? What what? What? What
advice do you give someone that reallywant to make make an impact and the
things they set out that they oncethey set their mind to it. Stay

(47:34):
motivated because I get have impossible syndrome. I do too much, It's never
enough. Stay motivated, stay positive, Be good to yourself. Stay disciplined
because it don't stop until you readyto stop. You know you're going to

(47:57):
have to be disciplined through all walksof life. And more discipline you are,
the more it's going to help yousucceed. And whatever endeavors that you're
involved in, or that you're tryingto achieve, whatever your religion is,
keep that close to you. Stayhopeful and dream big. If your dream's
not big enough, then you know, if their dreams don't scare you,

(48:21):
they're not big enough. And last, but not least, visualize your win.
We ask for a lot of stuff. I know I've experienced that quite
a few times in the last fewyears, especially with my businesses, just
asking God if I can do thisand get this, and then poom and
you get it, and it's like, what I do it? You know,

(48:45):
you want a million dollars or youwant this? How would you how
would you handle it if you gotit? Like, start visualizing your win
actually being prepared to receive it.That would be my last my last note
on that. Man. That's alsogo ahead, plug your information social media
