00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:18.840
ain't asked you a whole bunch of questions. I just say, good,

59
00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:19.479

00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:21.960
Send you a list of questions, so I need you.

61
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:23.560
It ain't. It ain't like that.

62
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.159
This This is as real as it gets. This is

63
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:29.479
this is as country real as it is.

64
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:30.039
Okay.

65
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:33.800
The premises and the name of the show is my

66
00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:38.360
worthless two cents table talk. The table talk part is

67
00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:42.759
the reality part of it. The reality part of table

68
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:44.879
talk is I'm from the country for real, for real

69
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.919
and at the table when we're sitting down, don't nobody

70
00:03:48.960 --> 00:03:50.240
have a list of questions?

71
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.400
At the table is the safe place?

72
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:54.680
Is that spot where you can come and you can

73
00:03:54.719 --> 00:03:58.919
share open, honest and transparent. You're don't have to worry

74
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:01.080
about nobody else saying nothing because usually they got a

75
00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:03.520
piece of chicken in their mouth trying to eat, so

76
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:08.400
they ain't got time to judge you.

77
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:10.000
They ain't got time talking about what.

78
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:15.520
So that is God has created this space, this place

79
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:18.800
as a safe place, a place for people to come

80
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:23.639

81
00:04:24.040 --> 00:04:29.720

278
00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:28.039
Well, look you know, and and and as a conversationist,

279
00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:31.039
you know as we sit here at the table about

280
00:16:31.080 --> 00:16:32.440
the events that you're having.

281
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:36.799
So what is the how does this get started?

282
00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:40.440
I mean, and and and it's wonderful, but but how

283
00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:45.440
did Moca How did Mocha get into this into doing this?

284
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:51.799
Okay, So Mocha Brown Production actually was created in two

285
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.720
thousand and five, when I actually made it official, but

286
00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:57.840
I have been doing the protection a few years before that.

287
00:16:59.200 --> 00:17:01.480
My last job that I ever had a nine to

288
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.839
five type of job was two thousand and five, So

289
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.640
I've been doing production two thousand, two thousand and three

290
00:17:08.319 --> 00:17:11.000
on up. And then two thousand and five is when

291
00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:15.279
I really said let me go ahead and make this

292
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:18.400
a company because I got fired from a job, even

293
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:20.640
though I got paid because they was firing me for

294
00:17:20.720 --> 00:17:23.200
no reason. But that was my last job and they

295
00:17:23.200 --> 00:17:24.880
didn't know that I was in the office. I had

296
00:17:24.880 --> 00:17:28.160
got my letter that I was fired like on a Monday.

297
00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:30.480
They didn't bring me back into the office to Wednesday.

298
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.160
And I'm over here, cocky and a clean my office

299
00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.599
and of clean everything. Okay, I'm just making on y'all.

300
00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:39.119
So yeah, we'll give you a recommendations. You know, we

301
00:17:39.240 --> 00:17:40.880
just ended up trying to be all nice and I

302
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:43.000
was sad. I don't need y'all recommendation. I really don't,

303
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.160
but thank you, and you know they looking at me

304
00:17:45.279 --> 00:17:47.279
like what I said. You know, I gave him on

305
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.160
a letter. I had been knowing this for a couple

306
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.960
of days, and I appreciate y'all, but y'all don't got

307
00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:54.720
to give me that recommendation. At that time, I was

308
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:56.519
real cocky, but I didn't know that that would be

309
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.440
my last job. And that's why I went and created

310
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:04.799
Mocha Brown Production. Because I've been called miss Mocha. I said, okay,

311
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:07.480
Mocha Brown Production, I'm gonna step out on faith. I'm

312
00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:09.440
gonna go do this. You know, I lived off the

313
00:18:10.279 --> 00:18:11.920
income that they had to give me for the year

314
00:18:12.000 --> 00:18:14.440
because they you know, a lot. I don't know whether

315
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:16.759
she's Indian. Later some fired me and she didn't even

316
00:18:16.799 --> 00:18:18.759
know her own job, and I was doing my job,

317
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:20.640
but she didn't know I was doing my job. But

318
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:23.880
it was a blessing that she did that. And they

319
00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:25.960
was like, oh, you ain't gonna never get no unemployment.

320
00:18:26.039 --> 00:18:32.079
They don't do that, and yes, I did. So basically

321
00:18:32.119 --> 00:18:34.319
that's how I just it started, because I mean I

322
00:18:34.359 --> 00:18:38.000
loved doing it. From high school, I in Spreme Branch,

323
00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:42.720
I took media technology classes and then my first commercial there,

324
00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:48.039
and so then I started at Texas Southern University got

325
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:53.440
my degree in communications and I learned radio. I've been

326
00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:57.599
at radio DJ before, and so it just branched from

327
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:00.480
from the photo fitting video to a photo to the

328
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.000
DJ to the bartend then and then now that the

329
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:07.079
three sixty photo boot been a big thing, I'm like,

330
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:09.279
let me go ahead and do the three sixty photo

331
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.720
booths and that and DJ been the best thing that

332
00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.599
ever happened to me because that keeps me busy. And

333
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:20.000
I love doing events where you know, I'm making people

334
00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:24.640
are happy, they're having fun, So I have fun while

335
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.559
I'm working. I'm not miserable. I'm like, oh Lord, here

336
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:30.640
go another event. No, I don't care how tired I am.

337
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.240
I got two three hours sleep, I'm finna go down

338
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:35.519
even nobody even had to sleep. But I'm gonna be

339
00:19:35.599 --> 00:19:39.039
out there parting with the people. If I'm a DJ,

340
00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:41.599
I'm DJing and I'm dancing, they call me to dance

341
00:19:41.640 --> 00:19:45.519
and DJ. So you gotta make the best of what

342
00:19:45.599 --> 00:19:47.880
you have, and basically that's what I did. I keep

343
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:53.599
reinventing myself and creating more businesses under the umbrella of

344
00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:56.599
Mocha Brown Production because I refuse to go punch a clock.

345
00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:58.400
I don't want to do that. I don't I don't

346
00:19:58.440 --> 00:20:01.319
blame anybody for doing it. That's your thing, that's what

347
00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:05.200
you do. You happy with that. But I love being

348
00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:07.799
self employed and I love serving the people, and so

349
00:20:08.079 --> 00:20:12.039
I just that's what I've been doing in the Houston

350
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:15.519
Carris Foundation. That came about because I have been donating

351
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:18.839
and helping people for so many years after watching my

352
00:20:18.920 --> 00:20:21.559
mom and dad do it. Then I saw it doing

353
00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:26.359
it and yeah, so four years Houston Carris Foundation and

354
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:27.720
this is my first gala.

355
00:20:28.400 --> 00:20:32.640
Oh wow, wow, Well congratulations. That is that is that

356
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:35.680
is tremendous. That is you know, because a lot of

357
00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:38.640
people do a lot of things for a lot of

358
00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:39.680
different reasons.

359
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:41.920
And I don't know nobody for why they do whatever

360
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:44.079
they do. That's that's just them and nails.

361
00:20:45.079 --> 00:20:48.400
But to truly care, uh and to truly have a

362
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.400
heart for it's kind of what you were just saying

363
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:55.960
is the events and going. It's not like a job.

364
00:20:56.039 --> 00:20:58.880
It's not like something where you get tired. You are

365
00:20:59.359 --> 00:21:03.920
excited for it. And that's that means you know, I

366
00:21:03.960 --> 00:21:05.960
tell people all time, that's when you know you walking

367
00:21:06.000 --> 00:21:09.200
in your purpose. Yes, when yes.

368
00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.319
When you know, like you be like you could be

369
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:14.440
bum tied and they be like boom, but it's like boom.

370
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:20.440
It's but that is it, and you know, and to

371
00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:25.240
see you doing that, it's wonderful, it's wonderful.

372
00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:30.039
So what is uh? So what's the next steps? So

373
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:32.960
what do you? Uh, what are you planning next?

374
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.680
What's well? And you're talking about you're speaking of calling

375
00:21:36.799 --> 00:21:39.640
and walking in your calling. I have been told here

376
00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:42.920
in the US and in Africa that my calling was counseling.

377
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:47.920
You know, I've studied you know, the life coach and

378
00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:51.039
all of that, and I've been doing it forever anyway,

379
00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:53.440
because people can call me up and talk their business

380
00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:56.759
and it be just their business. Nobody else knows. People

381
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.359
feel comfortable talking to me. I can really late to

382
00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:03.880
a lot of different people, no matter what race. Kids,

383
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.240
even the animals love me. So that is my calling

384
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:11.039
and I kind of dibble dabble in it, but I

385
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:13.720
put it to the back burner until I get a

386
00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:16.359
little older and I'm sitting down and I'm done my production,

387
00:22:16.519 --> 00:22:18.960
and I now let me sit here and talk and

388
00:22:19.079 --> 00:22:21.880
tell you you know this, give your advice. But right

389
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:24.880
now I think I just been having fun. I mean,

390
00:22:24.920 --> 00:22:27.599
I can still have fun with that too, but production,

391
00:22:28.240 --> 00:22:32.000
it's really people like thank you for coming. I'm thank

392
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:36.240
you for inviting me. They gonna say, do you want

393
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:38.480
to eat? Do you want something to drink? Yes, I'm

394
00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:42.240
going Now. I'm family and I get hired from a

395
00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:44.920
lot of events because of my personality. I might not

396
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:47.079
be the best DJ, I might not be the best

397
00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.799
videot for a photographers, but they keep hiring me because

398
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:52.880
they be like, ooh, I like you come on in.

399
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:55.519
You know you do it different than them when I

400
00:22:55.559 --> 00:22:58.160
cause I have a team. I have like five DJs

401
00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:02.440
on the team. I have photographers that I outsourced videographers.

402
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:05.799
So we're family. We're a team. And we'll go out.

403
00:23:06.079 --> 00:23:08.279
I'm gonna have fun with you, just like you my cousin.

404
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:11.319
That's it. That's it.

405
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:15.000
And you know, and I think people miss that that

406
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:21.440
part about it is when you bring you mh, not

407
00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:24.160
your representative, You just bring you you.

408
00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:25.400
Just you know.

409
00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:28.400
I had a friend of mine that said a long

410
00:23:28.519 --> 00:23:32.640
time ago, just be you, because everybody else is already.

411
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:35.559
Taken, right. I can't be nobody else for me.

412
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:37.000
Just just be you.

413
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:42.400
And sometimes it's like people are afraid to be themselves.

414
00:23:42.799 --> 00:23:45.799
They are afraid of the what people may think. Bib

415
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:50.359
Bet this old boy right here, I don't learn. People

416
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:52.480
are gonna think what they want to think, regardless of

417
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:54.279
how you are or anything of.

418
00:23:54.519 --> 00:23:58.039
However they gonna think about you. Yep, that's how they're

419
00:23:58.039 --> 00:23:58.400
gonna think.

420
00:23:58.559 --> 00:24:00.440
That's what. I don't care, because I'm gonna be myself.

421
00:24:01.319 --> 00:24:03.319
You know, I'm gonna be country cool right along with

422
00:24:03.440 --> 00:24:07.200
your country bike. I'm gonna be me. It's just which

423
00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:09.559
one you won't you want? You want the nice nikki,

424
00:24:11.680 --> 00:24:15.400
but I'm gonna be I'm gonna be myself and I

425
00:24:15.799 --> 00:24:19.279
just try to have fun with people and p be like,

426
00:24:19.359 --> 00:24:22.000
how you going through that? And you because I ain't

427
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:24.039
feelna let nobody see me sweat. I don't care what

428
00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:26.640
I'm going through. I'm not finna be in no pity party.

429
00:24:26.680 --> 00:24:29.240
And I might do it by myself in my own room,

430
00:24:29.559 --> 00:24:31.240
just for a limit, because it ain't gonna be long.

431
00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:34.240
You ain't gonna know all the stuff that I'm going

432
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:35.720
through because I don't wear that on my sleep. It

433
00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:38.799
ain't nobody else's business. I come to work. You hired me,

434
00:24:39.559 --> 00:24:41.920
it ain't. I'm not finna drag on the end because

435
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:44.200
I had an argument on the way that no, you

436
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:46.880
wouldn't know that I'm here to do the job and

437
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:50.559
that and I'm gonna be on time too. You see,

438
00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:52.480
I was already on your thing. You're like, wait are

439
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:55.039
I'm here waiting for the time.

440
00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:01.599
But that is I mean, that is that the that attitude

441
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:05.160
that approach to life. So many people miss that though,

442
00:25:05.519 --> 00:25:11.279
you know how many people miss that? Just man, I

443
00:25:11.319 --> 00:25:13.480
tell people all the time, this is what I tell mother.

444
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:14.319
You know what I'm saying.

445
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.839
Look at you. The only thing that you have.

446
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:24.720
Control over in this world is yourself, your attitude. That's

447
00:25:24.720 --> 00:25:28.279
the only thing everything around you could be in. You

448
00:25:28.359 --> 00:25:35.000
cannot control nothing around you nope. But you can control

449
00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:38.920
what you put out and you can control what you

450
00:25:39.000 --> 00:25:39.559
receive in.

451
00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:40.880
That's up to you.

452
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.000
And you've got to learn how to control their self.

453
00:25:45.200 --> 00:25:49.000
They gotta control their own emotions, your own temper. You

454
00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:52.519
cannot say, well, I slapt her because she said this,

455
00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:56.799
what I'd have heard it all like you doing this

456
00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:00.279
and because someone did this. So no, you gotta control

457
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:02.920
your own self. I know, make you want to go there,

458
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:07.119
but you know you control your own self. And you

459
00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:10.519
got to be able to be grown enough and mature

460
00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:15.200
enough to be able to know the difference. Yes, too

461
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:20.720
many people use excuses. I'm a magnet to these narcissistic

462
00:26:21.880 --> 00:26:26.240
mental people, and because I can deal with them, I

463
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:29.759
can talk to them. But I always say, you have

464
00:26:29.920 --> 00:26:34.880
to control yourself, your own emotions. You can always point

465
00:26:34.880 --> 00:26:38.119
the finger at somebody all the time, because it's gonna

466
00:26:38.119 --> 00:26:40.839
be you can't control that person. You know how they are,

467
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:43.839
You know how they are, You deal with them how

468
00:26:43.880 --> 00:26:47.759
they are. Everybody have a way you deal with them,

469
00:26:48.559 --> 00:26:52.880
with them, don't deal with them, shut them out. I

470
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:54.240
can love you from a distance.

471
00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:59.960
Hey, look, if that's that's the real, that's that aspect

472
00:27:00.200 --> 00:27:04.880
of life, that aspect of things is where I stand.

473
00:27:05.000 --> 00:27:09.720
That's how I roll with it. Man, I am I

474
00:27:09.720 --> 00:27:13.559
don't need nobody to be my life. Baby, I'm shine

475
00:27:13.599 --> 00:27:17.359
by myself. I don't need anybody to that part. I'm

476
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:20.680
gonna just bet me. I'll tell folks, look here, catch

477
00:27:20.680 --> 00:27:22.559
me on a Sunday. You're gonna see the same feeling

478
00:27:22.640 --> 00:27:25.680
you saw saying tonight. It gonna be the same one

479
00:27:27.359 --> 00:27:34.079
because I don't allow the outside things, that stuff and

480
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:36.440
it's I'm not saying that it ain't there, but I

481
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:40.000
know the difference. I can control me. How am I

482
00:27:40.039 --> 00:27:42.119
gonna look at that? Yes, we can look at every

483
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:45.160
situation we want to, and we can think negative about it,

484
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.319
or you can say, what's the benefit of this? What

485
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:51.599
can I learn from it? It's totally up to you.

486
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:54.440
You know, we're we're I tell people, man, when you

487
00:27:54.519 --> 00:27:59.559
start to be and you take accountability and responsibility for

488
00:27:59.640 --> 00:28:03.079
your choices and your decision, it changes the game.

489
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:05.400
That's the game change. If anybody want to know.

490
00:28:06.839 --> 00:28:11.880
An accountability, there's the game changer.

491
00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:17.160
When you start being accountable for your actions and your choices.

492
00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:20.640
Changes everything that is better speak it.

493
00:28:20.680 --> 00:28:23.519
Okay, were already getting into the colony Okay.

494
00:28:28.200 --> 00:28:30.880
That's those are the things that you know for me,

495
00:28:30.920 --> 00:28:33.640
and that's what i've over time, that's what I've learned.

496
00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:41.759
And when you do those things, it causes this ripple effect.

497
00:28:41.960 --> 00:28:45.279
What it causes when you start taking accountability and responsibility

498
00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:47.720
for yourself, your actions, your choices, you know what the

499
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:52.079
ripple effect is. Then you start walking in your purpose,

500
00:28:52.400 --> 00:28:56.160
you start following your vision because now you're not hearing

501
00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:58.759
what folks tell you. You ain't hear and folks tell you

502
00:28:58.799 --> 00:29:01.119
what you can't do, but you ain't smart enough to

503
00:29:01.160 --> 00:29:03.440
do what you ain't this to do because you don't

504
00:29:03.480 --> 00:29:06.759
hear him. Mm hmmm, because you like, I don't care

505
00:29:06.759 --> 00:29:10.720
what you think. I really, I mean, I appreciate it.

506
00:29:11.000 --> 00:29:14.960
I don't care you mean because you gonna think how

507
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:19.519
you think. But I am not allowing that to get

508
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:23.880
in me because I know who I am.

509
00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:26.240
Who you are. They said, I know whose I am.

510
00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:28.920
And when you know that and when you can grasp that,

511
00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:33.160
mm hmm. Man, ain't nothing on the outside, just you

512
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:36.839
nothing nothing. You be walking around. Look, I'll be walking

513
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:38.960
you be walking around like old country boy, just whistling

514
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:40.680
and smiling, and folks.

515
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:47.079
Be like, what's around you? Nothing. Smiling is contagious though,

516
00:29:47.119 --> 00:29:50.359
you know, you I see people and you just walk

517
00:29:50.400 --> 00:29:53.119
and smiling. You know, some of them smile back at you.

518
00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:55.400
It's like, I don't know you why you smile? Because

519
00:29:55.559 --> 00:29:57.319
I'm happy, I'm alive.

520
00:29:57.839 --> 00:29:58.279
That's it.

521
00:29:58.839 --> 00:30:00.720
I like to I like to get older. I want

522
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:03.559
to keep you know, and older and older. I celebrate

523
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.000
my birthday every single year. I celebrate. I'm gonna have

524
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:10.039
a party. I'm gonna go I last year, I celebrated

525
00:30:10.039 --> 00:30:13.000
my fifty in Ghana. I went out there by Yeah,

526
00:30:13.119 --> 00:30:15.799
I had a blast. They threw me two birthday parties

527
00:30:15.799 --> 00:30:18.240
and there I had a whole black party. Can you

528
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:21.279
believe the street down? I had a whole black party.

529
00:30:21.920 --> 00:30:29.119
Little girl me wow in Africa. I was. I was amazed.

530
00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:31.559
I was like, you serious, I don't know, I don't know.

531
00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:34.279
And he was like, yeah, we're gonna do it. Called up,

532
00:30:34.319 --> 00:30:37.319
all the friends, got a DJ. We had a ball,

533
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:39.920
and I was like, you got a party. You gotta

534
00:30:39.960 --> 00:30:40.480
have fun.

535
00:30:41.720 --> 00:30:43.160
You got to, you got to.

536
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:48.799
You know the worst part is is people who don't

537
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:52.359
want to or or figure I can do it later,

538
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:55.799
or I'll do that, I'll do that at this point,

539
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:56.920
or or later on.

540
00:30:57.559 --> 00:30:59.400
You know, there was a song to say, if.

541
00:30:59.279 --> 00:31:05.559
Tomorrow comes, if tomorrow never comes, Loka, I have this

542
00:31:05.680 --> 00:31:11.240
thing about myself, you know, from me when they put

543
00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:15.359
me in the ground or or cremate me, wherever they

544
00:31:15.359 --> 00:31:16.720
put me, because I ain't gonna be there.

545
00:31:16.880 --> 00:31:20.680
But whenever, did.

546
00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:22.720
You even have a preference, Because even you have a preference,

547
00:31:22.759 --> 00:31:23.799
they might do whatever they want to do.

548
00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:26.519
Anyway, whatever you got a preferent, they're gonna do what

549
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:29.799
they want to do wherever they put me, where they

550
00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:33.000
put me. The one thing I want to go with me,

551
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:38.119
how I want to go is empty. I don't want

552
00:31:38.400 --> 00:31:43.599
I don't want any dreams to go with me. I

553
00:31:43.640 --> 00:31:46.400
don't want any kudushit of wooters to go with me.

554
00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.200
I want to leave it all on the table.

555
00:31:53.279 --> 00:31:57.640
Yes, all of it. So all you putting in there

556
00:31:58.039 --> 00:31:58.960
is an empty course.

557
00:31:59.440 --> 00:32:03.200
That's it because there's no there is no hopes that's

558
00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:05.720
left in there. There's no dreams that's lefting there. There's

559
00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:09.160
not a vision that I'll do this one day. Lefting there,

560
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:12.200
there's not a purpose like oh well I'll do that

561
00:32:12.279 --> 00:32:14.680
when I get around to it, or when this happens,

562
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:16.559
or if I have enough money or if I have

563
00:32:16.720 --> 00:32:22.680
enough time. No, I'm empty, right right empty, And too

564
00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:26.319
many people think that there is once we we'll get.

565
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:29.799
Nothing's ever promised. What we have is what we have

566
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:33.480
right now. Mm hmm in this moment.

567
00:32:34.480 --> 00:32:37.119
That is true. That is true. You said I'm out

568
00:32:37.160 --> 00:32:41.119
full because it's too many people that passed away that

569
00:32:41.279 --> 00:32:44.000
always wanted to wait. When I get old enough, I'm

570
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:45.920
gonna do this. When I did, I'm gonna do that,

571
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:51.039
and then you never know, car accident or anything. Just

572
00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:55.519
people are not waking up and go ahead and do that.

573
00:32:55.519 --> 00:32:58.799
That's why I do what I do. I'm doing multiple things,

574
00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:03.160
and I've been told so many years, pick one thing,

575
00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:06.039
focus on that. Why you're doing so much? Why you

576
00:33:06.039 --> 00:33:08.480
gotta do that now? Why you gotta do this? Why

577
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:10.920
are you going to Africa? Why are you giving back

578
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:13.680
to them? It's too many people here in the US.

579
00:33:13.799 --> 00:33:16.400
Mehap I can do both? Why is it limited? And

580
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:18.400
what are you doing to tell me to stop doing this?

581
00:33:18.559 --> 00:33:21.240
Stop doing that, don't do this. I'm gonna do whatever

582
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:24.319
I done had a store front, I don't have three houses,

583
00:33:24.319 --> 00:33:26.720
I don't have this. It's just it's it's whatever I

584
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:29.160
choose to do at that time, and maybe I don't

585
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:30.720
want a house right now, but when I read it,

586
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:32.799
I'm gonna do it it. But I just I'm not

587
00:33:33.079 --> 00:33:36.720
living for nobody else. I'm not living well. You shouldn't

588
00:33:36.759 --> 00:33:38.839
wear that, or you shouldn't do your hair like this.

589
00:33:39.039 --> 00:33:41.200
Why you gotta do this? You know the corporate rod.

590
00:33:41.240 --> 00:33:42.799
I'm not in the corporate world. I don't care. I

591
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:46.799
might have corporate clients, but you think they gonna say, oh,

592
00:33:46.880 --> 00:33:48.880
we can't, we can't hire you because you got some

593
00:33:48.920 --> 00:33:51.759
locks in your head or you know. I don't really

594
00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:54.119
worry about none of that. I'm gonna live in my life.

595
00:33:54.279 --> 00:33:57.559
I'm living it free and I'm not worry about what

596
00:33:57.759 --> 00:34:01.480
you think you just got. You can't then be living

597
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:05.000
for everybody. Now. I'm gonna be respectful and you know,

598
00:34:05.160 --> 00:34:09.440
but if I ain't harming you, don't even worry about it.

599
00:34:09.440 --> 00:34:11.480
I'm gonna just keep on doing me. And then I

600
00:34:11.559 --> 00:34:14.280
want my kids and live a life where my kids

601
00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:17.119
can say I'm proud of my mama, and I'm proud

602
00:34:17.119 --> 00:34:19.519
of my kids like me. They love me, and they

603
00:34:19.679 --> 00:34:21.599
like me, and they talk to me all the time.

604
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:23.239
And you up here trying to tell me some people

605
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:25.880
don't even talk to their kids, don't even have a relationship.

606
00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:28.639
So I just feel like that's a blessing. I don't

607
00:34:28.679 --> 00:34:31.559
have to have the fancy cars and the fancies now.

608
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:34.239
As long as my my kids and my family love me,

609
00:34:35.280 --> 00:34:35.800
I'm good.

610
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:38.880
That's it. That's it. Yeah, that's it.

611
00:34:39.079 --> 00:34:43.039
And that's that's that part. And I will say that

612
00:34:43.960 --> 00:34:46.440
and tip my hat to you. You're doing that thing,

613
00:34:47.800 --> 00:34:50.559
that thing that's the most important that people miss.

614
00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:52.360
You are building.

615
00:34:53.440 --> 00:34:57.880
A legacy that when you leave here, your legacy will

616
00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:03.559
live on. And let me correct it a little bit.

617
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:07.840
You're leaving and building a positive legacy because everybody gonna

618
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:11.920
leave a legacy behind. Okay exactly all y'all gonna leave

619
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:22.159
a legacy, Okay, legacy, But to leave a positive and

620
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:27.079
to focus on leaving that behind, man, that's a great thing.

621
00:35:27.800 --> 00:35:29.840
That that is a great thing.

622
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:34.519
That is stepping outside of what people have said that

623
00:35:34.599 --> 00:35:37.719
you could do. That is stepping outside of how people

624
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:40.159
want how they view you.

625
00:35:40.280 --> 00:35:40.400
Now.

626
00:35:40.440 --> 00:35:43.039
They want you to view yourself how they view you.

627
00:35:44.119 --> 00:35:48.079
And that is true because everybody believed that you should

628
00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:51.239
have a job, what about your retirement, what about this?

629
00:35:51.480 --> 00:35:55.920
What about that? It's it's not for everybody. Like being

630
00:35:55.960 --> 00:35:59.639
an entrepreneur is not for everybody. I can't tell people

631
00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:02.119
go out you need to get your own job if

632
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:05.360
they not disciplined. You have to be disciplined. I'm not

633
00:36:05.360 --> 00:36:07.440
gonna set nobody up a failure for you to go

634
00:36:07.480 --> 00:36:10.239
out here and get a job of a career. And

635
00:36:10.280 --> 00:36:12.840
then now you can't pay none of your bills. You

636
00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:16.039
losing everything cause you just listen to somebody that say

637
00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:18.679
you need to have a career of a job. Every

638
00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:21.760
everybody can't be the boss, right, and we gotta have

639
00:36:21.800 --> 00:36:24.199
some workers, you know what I'm saying. You gotta have somebody.

640
00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:27.400
Everybody have levels of where they supposed to be and

641
00:36:27.440 --> 00:36:29.199
how they supposed to be and how they supposed to

642
00:36:29.280 --> 00:36:31.440
do it. So I can just listen. You're gonna ask

643
00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:33.599
for my opinion, but I can't tell you what to do,

644
00:36:33.840 --> 00:36:35.039
just like you can't tell me what.

645
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:40.760
It is right right right? That's it, hey, and you

646
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:42.440
know what and and that's that's.

647
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:46.360
That's the part is is I listen, you listen, and

648
00:36:46.440 --> 00:36:48.559
we are we should be like them old from I'm

649
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:51.159
from a country again, like them old shifters.

650
00:36:51.199 --> 00:36:53.280
You know, my mama used to have one of them

651
00:36:53.320 --> 00:36:54.119
old shifter.

652
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:56.320
When she was baking a cake, she take it and

653
00:36:56.360 --> 00:37:01.280
she put that flour in there and she shifted. Okay, okay,

654
00:37:01.559 --> 00:37:04.199
See what's opposed to fall through and you're supposed to

655
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:08.239
catch it will fall through. But the stuff that you ain't,

656
00:37:08.480 --> 00:37:11.519
that that that you don't need it stayed inside the

657
00:37:11.559 --> 00:37:15.079
shift it and you throw it away. See, some people

658
00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:17.000
got some information may be trying to get You need

659
00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:19.440
to shift that. You don't need to be just just tainting.

660
00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:26.079
Now let me shift that because I ain't gonna take

661
00:37:26.119 --> 00:37:28.239
all of what you're saying, but I'm gonna I'm gonna

662
00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:28.519
take it that.

663
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:30.440
I'm gonna put it all in here and I'm gonna

664
00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:32.760
shake it. And if don't none fall out, then there

665
00:37:32.760 --> 00:37:36.079
ain't nothing you said was useful to me. So you know,

666
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:39.079
all right, But you.

667
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:42.760
Know that that aspect and that that's the thought process,

668
00:37:44.519 --> 00:37:47.960
you know, and with you and with working and what

669
00:37:48.000 --> 00:37:55.639
you're doing and what you're building with stepping out with

670
00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:58.159
these events, and I applaud you. You know, you say

671
00:37:58.239 --> 00:38:00.519
this is your first, it's.

672
00:38:00.320 --> 00:38:03.679
The first for the gala for the fundraiser, but it's

673
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:06.400
the seventeenth and you're for the community Funday been known

674
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:09.519
that for seventeen years. Yes, this is the first gala,

675
00:38:09.800 --> 00:38:13.000
and it's bigger than what I thought it would be

676
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:15.599
because I said this is the first, I'm gonna go small.

677
00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:18.280
You know, this is my fourth year. So I did

678
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:22.320
four PM. I'm gonna have four categories and only like

679
00:38:22.400 --> 00:38:24.960
four people in each category and that's like sixteen people.

680
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:26.760
I'm at like sixty people right now.

681
00:38:27.320 --> 00:38:29.239
Wow. Wow wow.

682
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:33.639
I had a different vision, but it grew because you

683
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:35.960
can't put no limits on God. And I say that,

684
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:38.760
don't put tho limits on I was like, I kept saying,

685
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:41.599
thinking little because it's my first, I'm gonna just do this,

686
00:38:41.719 --> 00:38:41.920
do that.

687
00:38:42.519 --> 00:38:42.960
Mm hmm.

688
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:47.679
It's amazing. And I've had so many people like your

689
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:52.920
your yourself to invite me on your platform. Like my

690
00:38:53.480 --> 00:38:57.840
pr Amber introduced me to a lot of people that

691
00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:02.000
I did the interviews for her and she nominated her

692
00:39:02.000 --> 00:39:04.360
about fifteen to twenty of those that's on my list.

693
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:08.760
I'm like, God, oh, you need to know, you need

694
00:39:08.800 --> 00:39:11.920
to honor this person. I probably got twenty people that

695
00:39:12.000 --> 00:39:16.920
I couldn't honor on her list. I am we're gonna

696
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:21.280
do another event. I ain't trying to hold these people

697
00:39:21.320 --> 00:39:24.039
for eight hours. Like, we're gonna try to do another one.

698
00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:29.119
But it's been a blessing that she sponsored her PR services.

699
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:33.519
I have so many media partners that's coming out and

700
00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:38.280
gonna be interviewing a red carpet, covering the event, doing

701
00:39:38.280 --> 00:39:40.880
a photography. I was like, Wow, this is a blessing

702
00:39:40.960 --> 00:39:43.760
and this just came to me. People are inboxing me.

703
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:46.480
You need, you need this, you need that? What do

704
00:39:46.519 --> 00:39:50.880
you need? I mean, I just appreciate everybody. And I

705
00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:55.159
really can't name names because you're gonna forget one or so.

706
00:39:55.159 --> 00:39:58.199
So I just want to thank everybody, from my board

707
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:03.360
members all helping out, from all the volunteers. I think

708
00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:06.960
we have about thirty something volunteers from each year for

709
00:40:07.039 --> 00:40:13.159
the events. That's the most I ever had, the sponsors

710
00:40:13.159 --> 00:40:17.199
that we have, so just I just appreciate everybody that's

711
00:40:17.239 --> 00:40:21.039
put a hand in this because it's just I'm like, wow,

712
00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:24.960
I think keep said I'm gonna cut off the VIP

713
00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:29.400
because I think half the people in the room VIP now,

714
00:40:30.800 --> 00:40:33.159
so we got some work to do and we're giving

715
00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:35.719
gifts out for the VIP. I always like to give

716
00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:39.000
gifts out. Gifts from when I do an event. We

717
00:40:39.119 --> 00:40:42.760
have swag bags. Now if anybody else want to still

718
00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:44.760
be in a swag bag, it's only ten dollars for

719
00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:50.400
fifty business cards or flyers are put in there. So

720
00:40:50.480 --> 00:40:53.599
we just have different ways that we're raising the funds

721
00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:58.719
and different ways that we're giving back. And the categories

722
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:05.599
that I have, it's five categories. The Humanitarian Award, we

723
00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:09.760
have the Men of Honor, and these mostly the men

724
00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:13.000
of Honor of people that I know personally that I

725
00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:16.079
actually picked and choose to because a lot of events

726
00:41:16.079 --> 00:41:18.519
that I go to is a lot of women. Ours

727
00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:21.239
went to so many events, it's more women in the

728
00:41:21.280 --> 00:41:23.840
building than men. Even when you go into the club,

729
00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:27.400
to the church, anywhere, you're gonna see more women than men.

730
00:41:27.840 --> 00:41:31.760
So Men of Honor was definitely one of the categories,

731
00:41:32.000 --> 00:41:35.159
but it grows so far that I so big that

732
00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:37.559
I had to do another category. Then I got the

733
00:41:37.599 --> 00:41:41.239
Boss Men category because I had so many men and

734
00:41:41.320 --> 00:41:43.239
other of those men I have and I could just

735
00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:46.599
name a few. I can't name everybody, but we have

736
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:51.000
KG Smooth from one O two. We have Uncle Fucky

737
00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:54.599
Larry Jones, my cousin Robert Ferguson that used to play

738
00:41:54.639 --> 00:42:00.159
for the Green Bay Packers, andre men. If you he's

739
00:42:00.199 --> 00:42:05.239
a musician, he done bought like three tables. Uh, Bishop

740
00:42:05.360 --> 00:42:08.119
Rush he paid for like two tables and bringing out

741
00:42:08.199 --> 00:42:12.800
his church, his congregation. So I have a lot of men.

742
00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:17.320
We also have the Boss Boss Chick Awards. We have

743
00:42:17.719 --> 00:42:21.119
the one that's my favorite is Stronger Beyond the Pain.

744
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:27.000
And these are women that have been through domestic violence,

745
00:42:27.119 --> 00:42:30.920
have survived it, have experienced it, and or they have

746
00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:35.840
experienced cancer or sickle cell or any sickness or illness

747
00:42:36.360 --> 00:42:41.280
and they overcame that. So that is Stronger Beyond the Pain,

748
00:42:41.440 --> 00:42:45.000
and that one right there, I'm really looking forward to

749
00:42:45.119 --> 00:42:49.320
honoring those women and men because I have a man

750
00:42:49.840 --> 00:42:52.800
as well. He went through domestic violence. He's raising his

751
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:57.079
daughter on his own, and he experienced and he actually

752
00:42:57.119 --> 00:42:59.719
wrote some books about it, and he's gonna be he

753
00:42:59.800 --> 00:43:01.760
has of Venda Boot. He'll be selling his book and

754
00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:08.360
telling his story. So my nonprofit is basically targeting single

755
00:43:08.519 --> 00:43:11.880
men and women that I can help, not just single women.

756
00:43:11.960 --> 00:43:13.880
And I was told that over and over again every

757
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:16.159
time I tell somebody, oh, well why are you why

758
00:43:16.199 --> 00:43:18.559
you didn't do the single women? You can do this,

759
00:43:18.239 --> 00:43:21.760
And I said, I want to do single parents, period,

760
00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:26.159
because it's not just only women that are single with kids.

761
00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:29.280
Some of these men and they don't get enough recognition.

762
00:43:29.440 --> 00:43:31.800
So that was my whole goal. We're going to recognize

763
00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:34.880
these men and honor these men. And I've even saying, well,

764
00:43:34.880 --> 00:43:36.760
they supposed to do it anywhere. The one is supposed

765
00:43:36.760 --> 00:43:39.559
to do it anyway too. So honored that I'm honoring

766
00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:42.119
a man whoever I feel that's doing something greater than

767
00:43:42.159 --> 00:43:46.159
positives for the community, for your family, that's making a difference. Yes,

768
00:43:46.400 --> 00:43:47.719
you're the one I want to honor.

769
00:43:48.119 --> 00:43:52.719
Hey man, Yes, hey, that is that is tremendous.

770
00:43:54.000 --> 00:43:54.280
Wow.

771
00:43:54.559 --> 00:43:58.480
I applaud that. I applaud that because you don't hear

772
00:43:58.519 --> 00:44:02.119
it a lot. You don't hear it a lot. The

773
00:44:03.119 --> 00:44:09.320
man that is amazing, award overcoming, you know a lot

774
00:44:09.360 --> 00:44:12.880
of times is it's no matter what it may be,

775
00:44:13.320 --> 00:44:19.760
that's a tough deal. And man, you know, it's amazing

776
00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:24.519
that you said that, because that's gonna me into a question.

777
00:44:25.000 --> 00:44:26.440
You know, I'll tell you I don't really ask, but

778
00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:30.119
I do have. I do have some concrete questions that

779
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:35.880
that I asked, and that one really segued into this one.

780
00:44:36.559 --> 00:44:37.480
It's right here, is.

781
00:44:39.159 --> 00:44:42.119
Mocha when you're you're sitting here this day, at this moment,

782
00:44:42.639 --> 00:44:46.400
at this present time, looking.

783
00:44:46.079 --> 00:44:51.119
Back, looking back, what the years I guess the ship

784
00:44:51.239 --> 00:44:55.119
is jeez ah, myself time and time.

785
00:44:55.440 --> 00:45:01.760
I'm sorry.

786
00:45:02.360 --> 00:45:04.400
I do the same thing too. I'll be talking and

787
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:05.760
I'll be singing a song around.

788
00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:10.760
I got carriage away, I got covered away. But looking back,

789
00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:15.880
looking back over your life, looking back the fifty years

790
00:45:17.360 --> 00:45:21.159
from then until now, from at this moment, at this

791
00:45:21.199 --> 00:45:27.559
point in time, if you glance back right now, the

792
00:45:27.599 --> 00:45:30.960
good the bad, it's the upst the downs, the smiles

793
00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:40.000
and the tears. What would you say, just right off

794
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:42.679
the top of your dome, what will you say.

795
00:45:44.159 --> 00:45:47.400
That you're on the other side of right now.

796
00:45:48.559 --> 00:45:52.159
I'm on the other side right now, and what has

797
00:45:52.280 --> 00:46:00.480
come is survival. Like I've been through some relationships that

798
00:46:00.599 --> 00:46:03.679
I didn't even know realize that it was abuse, but

799
00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:11.519
it was mental, physical, verbal. I've experienced that I didn't

800
00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:14.320
even know what narcissistic was until maybe like four or

801
00:46:14.360 --> 00:46:16.599
five years ago, because I was experiencing it and it

802
00:46:16.679 --> 00:46:18.880
was just like, what is going on? And I'm talking

803
00:46:18.880 --> 00:46:22.960
to people and I looked it up. So I feel

804
00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:27.280
like now I'm on the other side that I my

805
00:46:27.400 --> 00:46:32.559
eyes are open and I can read them red flags,

806
00:46:33.960 --> 00:46:38.000
but I can't hold and judged that person. And everybody's

807
00:46:38.000 --> 00:46:41.800
not the same right, But I know if it's not

808
00:46:41.840 --> 00:46:46.079
feeling right, it's not looking right, it's not smelling right,

809
00:46:47.559 --> 00:46:50.039
it must not be right. And don't try to fix

810
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:52.800
it because I'm always trying to fix somebody. That's why

811
00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:55.199
I be in the situations that I be in, because

812
00:46:55.239 --> 00:46:58.840
I'm a fixer and I'm trying to solve the problem.

813
00:46:59.119 --> 00:47:01.960
If I do this, maybe they wouldn't do this. If

814
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:04.280
I did that, maybe it wouldn't do that. If I

815
00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:06.840
didn't say this of a walk like this, talk like that,

816
00:47:07.039 --> 00:47:08.159
not I really don't care.

817
00:47:08.679 --> 00:47:18.559
So life forgets you like that, Hey, hey you learned. Wow,

818
00:47:18.840 --> 00:47:21.119
that is a yeah.

819
00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:24.360
When you said that, it's that was you know, that

820
00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:29.400
was the first question that that came. The the other

821
00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:34.440
when I'll ask you is this when of everything? Here's

822
00:47:34.599 --> 00:47:51.119
let me tell you this one man, everything that you are, friend, mother, daughter, why, girlfriend, entrepreneur,

823
00:47:52.719 --> 00:48:01.000
business woman, media, mobile, millionaire, of all those things titles

824
00:48:01.039 --> 00:48:06.559
that you have, if you removed all of those titles

825
00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:09.280
and all of the connections with all of the people,

an opportunity for for you to speak. If you had

Okay? So on Saturday it is a ten dollars donation

965
00:56:53.159 --> 00:56:55.320
and you can make a donation to any amount just

966
00:56:55.480 --> 00:57:00.360
least ten dollars and that goes towards the non profit

967
00:57:00.480 --> 00:57:05.239
organization as well. So and VIP is twenty five dollars.

968
00:57:05.280 --> 00:57:07.760
Now you can get VIP area, you get the food,

969
00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:10.920

00:57:32.039 --> 00:57:37.119
four for my general ticket, and then you have one

976
00:57:37.360 --> 00:57:42.760

01:01:21.440 --> 01:01:27.599
positive and giving back because that's what God created this for.

1040

y'all so very much, Thank you, so very much. And

1091
01:04:31.039 --> 01:04:34.920
as I close, I closed like this, understand this this

1092
01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:37.760
is old comforty boy's opinion. It's mine, it's my worthless

1093
01:04:37.760 --> 01:04:42.360
two cents, Doug. I truly believe God gave us three things.

1094
01:04:42.760 --> 01:04:46.079
I truly, truly, truly believe God gave us three things.

1095
01:04:48.519 --> 01:04:49.199
He gave us.

1096
01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:56.880
Purpose, give us a vision, and he gave us instructions purpose,

1097
01:04:57.159 --> 01:05:04.679
vision and instructions. Every somebody, everybody, everybody is not going

1098
01:05:04.880 --> 01:05:11.239
to support your vision because everybody can't see the vision

1099
01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:13.760
he gave you but don't you give up on the

1100
01:05:13.880 --> 01:05:16.320
vision because you're saying other folks don't see it. He

1101
01:05:16.440 --> 01:05:19.280
gave it to you, and if he gave you the vision,

1102
01:05:19.360 --> 01:05:22.920
trust me, I believe this with my whole heart. If

1103
01:05:22.960 --> 01:05:25.719
he gave you the vision, he would provide the provision

1104
01:05:25.760 --> 01:05:34.400
for the vision. Purpose purpose, man. I learned this a

1105
01:05:34.440 --> 01:05:40.159
long time ago. More about purpose. Do you understand how

1106
01:05:40.280 --> 01:05:41.840
purpose connects people?

1107
01:05:42.360 --> 01:05:45.079
Let me tell you. When you walk in your purpose,

1108
01:05:45.639 --> 01:05:50.800
it is when you walk in your purpose. What you

1109
01:05:51.079 --> 01:05:52.159
walking in your.

1110
01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:55.639
Purpose does is unlock somebody else to walk in theirs.

1111
01:05:57.719 --> 01:06:00.880
That's the connection. When you want in your.

1112
01:06:00.760 --> 01:06:04.000
Purpose, it's like opening a door for somebody else to

1113
01:06:04.119 --> 01:06:10.360
then walk in their purpose. Everybody's not gonna support you.

1114
01:06:10.480 --> 01:06:12.440
Everybody's not gonna believe in you.

1115
01:06:12.840 --> 01:06:13.199
They not.

1116
01:06:14.320 --> 01:06:17.719
But don't you stop believing in yourself? Don't you stop

1117
01:06:17.760 --> 01:06:24.360
supporting yourself? Don't you stop because they don't. They gonna

1118
01:06:24.400 --> 01:06:27.519
be some people that tell you you're too old, you're too sure,

1119
01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:31.360
you're too tall, you're too skinny, you're too bad, you too,

1120
01:06:31.800 --> 01:06:34.719
They gonna say all kind of stuff. Let me tell

1121
01:06:34.760 --> 01:06:36.960
you about the folks that's saying that. This is what

1122
01:06:37.079 --> 01:06:41.480
I learned the folks. That's saying that. Guess what, they

1123
01:06:41.559 --> 01:06:46.840
believe in your vision more than you do. They're not

1124
01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:50.119
mad at the vision. They're not mad that you walking

1125
01:06:50.159 --> 01:06:52.639
in your purpose. They're mad that it ain't them.

1126
01:06:53.320 --> 01:06:55.960
Mh.

1127
01:06:56.639 --> 01:06:59.039
They they believe that the vision is there.

1128
01:06:59.480 --> 01:07:02.440
They believe that the purpose, but they're just upset that

1129
01:07:02.559 --> 01:07:05.079
you are walking in it and it ain't them. What

1130
01:07:05.239 --> 01:07:09.599
they miss is that they've got their own. Can't nobody

1131
01:07:09.639 --> 01:07:12.760
take what's yours, but you can show, give it away

1132
01:07:12.800 --> 01:07:18.920
or levy laying on the table right. So walking your purpose,

1133
01:07:19.360 --> 01:07:22.800
walking your purpose, walking your purpose, follow the vision. I

1134
01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:26.360
don't care what it is. I don't care if your

1135
01:07:26.480 --> 01:07:29.320
vision and your purpose. If your purpose is to sing,

1136
01:07:30.159 --> 01:07:32.440
I don't care if ain't nobody listening. Go sing to

1137
01:07:32.480 --> 01:07:39.000
the grass, go sing to the trees, sing to the dogs, sing, sing, yes, sing.

1138
01:07:40.360 --> 01:07:43.199
If it is to be a painter, then go paint.

1139
01:07:43.559 --> 01:07:46.920
Paint on the walls. But don't stop because you don't

1140
01:07:47.039 --> 01:07:49.360
think that somebody. Let me tell you. Too many people

1141
01:07:49.400 --> 01:07:53.559
are trying to do things. So people will recognize God

1142
01:07:53.599 --> 01:07:56.960
will send the one that needs to see mh. You

1143
01:07:57.039 --> 01:08:01.400
just do what needs to be done. Don't worry about

1144
01:08:01.440 --> 01:08:05.400
who watching Oh, who ain't watching? Just do what you're

1145
01:08:05.480 --> 01:08:09.880
called to do, right, don't you stop? Don't you quit?

1146
01:08:09.960 --> 01:08:12.800
Don't you give up? And don't you give in? And

1147
01:08:12.880 --> 01:08:15.719
I say this over and over and over again, is

1148
01:08:15.880 --> 01:08:18.239

1149

God has given you. I believe in and and support it.

1152
01:08:28.359 --> 01:08:30.520
Why can you do that, country boy? That's just crazy.

1153
01:08:30.720 --> 01:08:32.800
Let me tell you something. Why would I question what

1154
01:08:32.880 --> 01:08:35.560
God gave you. I'm not finna do that he gave

1155
01:08:35.600 --> 01:08:38.239
that you. I'm not finn to question what he gave you.

1156
01:08:40.159 --> 01:08:43.920
I support what he gave you. So you just believe

1157
01:08:43.960 --> 01:08:53.000
in it. And lastly, but not leastly, no, but you

1158
01:08:53.079 --> 01:09:00.239
get first hand experience. You ain't never had this in before. Okay, Oh,

1159
01:09:00.479 --> 01:09:02.560
you walk up this morning and you over your eyes,

1160
01:09:03.199 --> 01:09:05.159
you cleaned out your ears, and you tried to hear

1161
01:09:05.520 --> 01:09:09.359
what the words of the country boar were just not clear.

1162
01:09:10.039 --> 01:09:12.640
If you was out there to day, looking up, looking down,

1163
01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:16.399
listening over here and listening all around, but you're still

1164
01:09:16.640 --> 01:09:21.079
didn't hear the words. Well, here it is eight forty

1165
01:09:21.119 --> 01:09:27.800
eight Houston on behalf of myself, your favorite country boy,

1166
01:09:27.840 --> 01:09:29.640
all the way from exit eighty one, you lose you

1167
01:09:29.680 --> 01:09:30.479
on the country boy.

1168
01:09:30.960 --> 01:09:33.399
And my guess smoke a braw.

1169
01:09:34.439 --> 01:09:37.359
Oh God, I say this, and I say this was

1170
01:09:37.399 --> 01:09:39.680
my chest stuck out. And know this is ain't because

1171
01:09:39.680 --> 01:09:42.319
it's a cute cliche. I say it because I believe

1172
01:09:42.359 --> 01:09:46.479
in it. And know this because I love you. I

1173
01:09:46.520 --> 01:09:50.199
love you, I love each and every one of you,

1174
01:09:50.880 --> 01:09:59.399
and I love you unconditionally. And there ain't nothing absolutely positive,

1175
01:09:59.560 --> 01:10:05.960
letting nothing that you can do about it. Thank each

1176
01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:07.880
and every one of you. Thank you, mochah. It has

1177
01:10:07.960 --> 01:10:16.399
