00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:44.519
I need to check on my stats because it's been

69
00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:47.720
four years. I know that we're making a difference because

70
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.120
we wouldn't have been on this long. We would not

71
00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:52.920
have the testimonies that we have, and we would not

72
00:04:53.040 --> 00:04:56.160
be able to glorify God because God would check me,

73
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.120
He would check me, and I would wait for him

74
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.720
to check me. I asked him to check me, and

75
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.439
we just glorified. We just think we've had fabulous Hello.

76
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:09.720
Hello says thank you, Thank you. Y'all look good. Come on,

107
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:52.160
to give God praise. I am so honored. I wanted

108

get in her ear. What are you doing? Okay, she's

113
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.800
got to give her a full approval. You know, we

114
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:14.079
bring in bags. She's thinking, Okay, I know y'all got

115
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:16.600
something in here for me. You know, she's always sniffing.

116
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:18.639
I'm gonna have to really see if I could get her,

117
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:21.759
you know as a as a sniffing dog with TSA.

118
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.079
We can make some money that way. Anyway I put

what this means. And like I was saying, you know,

126
00:07:48.160 --> 00:07:49.600
I look at some of the other I look at

127
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:53.160
other podcasts, not under Talk for TV, but other people

128
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:55.040
you know, and stuff, and they got all the fascy

129
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:58.759
microphones and stuff like that. They got the headphones on. Okay,

130
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.040
whatever you need to do to where you need to go.

131
00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.680
You know, we just sit here and we're making it simple.

132
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:06.959
We're just saying we're sitting tight and uh, you know,

133
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:08.759
we do what we have to do. It is about

134
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:11.639
content and all that good stuff and that that's where

135
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.040
we are right now. You got these pop up ads

136
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.959
over here that distracts me and I hate it. Anyway,

137
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.199

like I said, you know, I've shared with you all

187
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.279
over the years. It was not on my list to

188
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.440
you know, it was not a part of my dream

189
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:18.840
to be an author. And definitely I The main thing

190
00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:21.440
I wanted to do was return to the stage. I

191
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:24.639
wanted to return to the stage. And that's been my life.

192
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.679
I love that and I love the here is. I

193
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.720
get married again and moved to Orlando and using the library,

194
00:11:30.879 --> 00:11:32.639
taking the kids to the library. And then all of

195
00:11:32.679 --> 00:11:35.120
a sudden, this young lady says, Hey, I've got a

196
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:38.600
friend that's looking for someone to portray doctor Mary McLeod

197
00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:40.919
Bethune a bathoon cook in college. And I'm like, oh,

198
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.480
and I used to teach there. I teach I taught

199
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.600

200
00:11:46.720 --> 00:11:51.120
and oh my god, really and got in, got it,

201
00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:54.480

202
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:57.480
for fifteen years at the History Center and stuff. So

203
00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:59.519
it just, you know, you just never know. And I

204
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:02.279
would hope that no matter where you are in life,

205
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:05.480
that you don't give up. There's still some other things

206
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:09.159
gonna unfold in you. And and it's it's it's it's incredible.

207
00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:14.399
It's a great feeling. It was where that did she

208
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:15.200
come from? The gym?

209
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:18.279
What guys?

210
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:21.879
Yeah, like Snoop DOGG right now? Oh no, not? But me,

211
00:12:21.960 --> 00:12:24.200
I didn't feel I just came from tutoring. Actually I

212
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:27.600
went to the gym this morning, but got to cover

213
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:31.879
their hair with these kids. Well anyway, yes, and if

214
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.240
you probably don't notice, but I have her hairstyle from

215
00:12:35.240 --> 00:12:39.519

216
00:12:39.559 --> 00:12:42.159
break the bank. Okay, Well you didn't mechanize it, and

217
00:12:42.360 --> 00:12:45.000
that's why you're not saying anything. But anyway, I loved

218
00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:47.000
it all hurt so much. And I was like, I

219
00:12:47.039 --> 00:12:49.759
got to get my hair this weekend and well Friday,

220
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:51.840

222
00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:57.840

223
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:00.440
you have to just tell the storm? Why you got

224
00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:03.200
to tell everything? Oh my god, there's certain things we

225
00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:05.039
just want to keep in the house. Can we keep

226
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:09.879

227
00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:12.679

00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:01.480
we sit down. We stand still when he says to

312
00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:05.720
stand still. Okay, it's all about him. It's not about us.

313

316
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:17.440
their times just like, oh God, we got this. I'm

317
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:18.839
trying to get a nap. I'm like, oh my God,

318
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:21.480
I got this show. Okay, you know, and you know

319
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:23.960
you got to say yes, okay God, because it's not

320
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:26.279
about me. You know, you know those years and months

321
00:18:26.279 --> 00:18:29.799
I was talking about monetizing and nobody, you know, nobody's helping,

322
00:18:29.880 --> 00:18:32.720
and you know, nobody's coming on to let me advertise

323
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:35.720
their their programs or their events and stuff. And I'm

324
00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.440
this is hard. This is hard on this end because

325
00:18:38.440 --> 00:18:40.039
you've got to come up with it. You've got this

326
00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:42.319
hang in there, because I have to look to God,

327
00:18:42.480 --> 00:18:45.160
from you know, from which cometh my help. And I'm like, God,

328
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:47.759
this is your show, this is your program. Thank you,

329
00:18:47.839 --> 00:18:52.720
miss Des thank you, thank you, thank you God, thank you.

330
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:55.079
I couldn't hold it any longer, I said, I can't

331
00:18:55.079 --> 00:18:58.559
even talk about profit stuff. So and you know, you know,

332
00:18:58.680 --> 00:19:00.240
prior to the end of the month, we are ready

333
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:04.200
submitting our topics to our team behind the scenes. And

334
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:06.519
it was hard to own the email. It was just

335
00:19:07.079 --> 00:19:09.640
last week at tonight. It's hard and I was like,

336
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:12.119
and thank you. I think it was Missy. Was it

337
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:14.960
Missy or Mickey? One of the two that talked about

338
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:17.519
the nonprofit business piece? And can we talk about that?

339
00:19:17.799 --> 00:19:20.079
Because that means we could just continue it on for

340
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:21.400
the rest of the butt.

341
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:27.599
The good thing about this is this topic now it's

342
00:19:27.640 --> 00:19:31.279
giving other people ideas of where they might not because

343
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:35.559
we don't really know where this economy is going. And

344
00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:38.920
you know, I look at I follow different people just

345
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:43.200
to see what they're doing, and people are really creative.

346
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:47.920
I mean it started really with COVID and it allowed

347
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:50.680
me to do some extra stuff or work towards stuff

348
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:53.079
on my business. I'm not doing what I need to do,

349
00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:56.160
but that's going to happen, but it allowed me to

350
00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:59.640
kind of like now I can say because prior to

351
00:19:59.759 --> 00:20:01.920
co it, I was rush rush for us.

352
00:20:01.880 --> 00:20:04.519
Caregiver work work, work, work, work, caregiving.

353
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:06.799
And it was other stuff, you know, trying to do

354
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:10.400
personal stuff, and so this is an opportunity.

355
00:20:09.920 --> 00:20:13.079
Even now Zoom. Look how zoom blew up.

356
00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:16.559
You know, we had family gatherings and some of the

357
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:17.759
family I wasn't able.

358
00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:20.960
To see until this Zoom platform. So look, I.

359
00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:24.319
See how people are becoming creative and folks out there,

360
00:20:24.640 --> 00:20:27.839
I'm glad we're talking about this because maybe it can

361
00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:29.319
put some ideas into your.

362
00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:32.079
Head for profit nonprofit things.

363
00:20:31.799 --> 00:20:35.599
That you enjoy doing and what enlightened you and what

364
00:20:35.759 --> 00:20:39.400
doesn't feel like work. Because we don't know what the

365
00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:43.359
future is holding, and we no matter the age, we

366
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:46.680
need to just kind of be mindful and also looking

367
00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:49.880
at things and following things that's going to inspire you,

368
00:20:50.039 --> 00:20:52.720
and being in the world and being trusting of God

369
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:57.119
and being around people that do that. Is that really

370
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.480
is a key because tonight I wasn't worried. I was

371
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:02.200
kind of like, I said, oh man, God, this is

372
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:03.599
the last Joe and said.

373
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:07.079
Oh my God. And then now God's surprises with this,

374
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:09.519
you know, but I know it's great.

375
00:21:10.519 --> 00:21:13.759
I know Miss Gray, I know how she if it

376
00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:19.240
wasn't this, it's something. She's always like something, and so yeah,

377
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:21.119
but this is, this is a great thing. And I

378
00:21:21.279 --> 00:21:24.359
and you know, I think folks out here asking questions,

379
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:26.839
they might be doing some stuff. And now with Miss

380
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:29.920
k rolling out her persons and stuff like that, look

381
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.200
at God, look at God. Look at God.

382
00:21:33.240 --> 00:21:37.759
Amen. Amen. And and I don't know what. I don't

383
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:41.079
know what everybody takes away. I know I still take away.

384
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:44.720
Teaching is a two way street. When you're teaching and ministrying,

385
00:21:44.720 --> 00:21:48.279
it's a two way street. You're you're you're also receiving back.

386
00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.119
You're also This keeps me on my knees, This keeps

387
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:55.640
me in prayer because I want to exemplify him. I

388
00:21:55.680 --> 00:21:57.759
want God to get all the credit. I don't want

389
00:21:57.799 --> 00:22:00.240
to get no credit for nothing in my life. This

390
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.079
is havy some prospect. But think you had to stay

391
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:05.480
to Nikki, I missy, I don't know if you drive.

392
00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:07.319
And I hope you you know, you know have called

393
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:09.319
you to kind of weave and walk, you know, Bob there,

394
00:22:09.599 --> 00:22:13.799
but you know it's just you know this. And I hope,

395
00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:17.119
if anything, I'm only going to speak for myself that

396
00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:20.680
I pray that up until this point, we have done.

397
00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:22.119
We have shown you.

398
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.799
God and and and and and everything about faith, everything

399
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:31.279
about the faith journey, everything about what it takes, that

400
00:22:31.319 --> 00:22:32.279
we are still human.

401
00:22:32.359 --> 00:22:34.480
And thank you all. I want to say this other

402
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:36.200
thing because I had to let people go out of

403
00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:38.920
my life because they kept putting me on this pedestal.

404
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:41.640
And I thank you you all did not do that.

405
00:22:42.000 --> 00:22:45.359
You all, you respect us, you love us. I think

406
00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:48.559
I feel you genuinely care about us, each one of

407
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:51.079
us in our own But whatever we bring to you,

408
00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:54.480
whatever we bring into your life and you, there are

409
00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:56.759
people who they can't help it. They don't mean to

410
00:22:57.039 --> 00:22:59.839
in some cases, but they put they almost into a

411
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:03.680
level of worship, worshiping you, and that's idolatry. And we know,

412
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:06.119
don't don't put that bull's eye on our back. We

413
00:23:06.119 --> 00:23:09.400
were born with bulls eyes, okay, we were born as

414
00:23:09.440 --> 00:23:11.920
the enemy of the of the devil. Okay, when we

415
00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:14.440
came in this world, that was all she wrote. And

416
00:23:14.480 --> 00:23:16.720
he broke God broke the moles on most of us.

417
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:19.200
There's no two of us alike. Even though my baby

418
00:23:19.240 --> 00:23:22.240
looks just like me, you know, she's got an extra work.

419
00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:28.519
But that's been a special gift to me, you know,

420
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:31.000
because I always wanted, I say, if I ever had

421
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:33.119
a little girl, I hope she does look like me.

422
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:35.640
I didn't think I was a bad looking person and

423
00:23:35.640 --> 00:23:38.839
stuff like that. And you know, I had some good

424
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:41.319
qualities when I was a child. When I was younger,

425
00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:43.720
I look a little different, you know, a little lighter

426
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:45.359
in the hips and all that. In the cabus in

427
00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:47.759
the back. Anyway, we're not gonna go there. But anyways,

428
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:50.839
I keep telling her that's why she's in the gym.

429
00:23:50.920 --> 00:23:53.839
She's like, oh no, I don't have that problem you

430
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:56.599
talking about. Be careful how you eat, or you're gonna

431
00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.960
look like meat out of our bomb. Well, and it's true,

432
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:02.839
that's how I all right, now, you see how seventh

433
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:04.359
grade all of a sudden, I didn't look like this.

434
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:10.480
I was still skinny. Yes, you were YouTube chance actively

435
00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:11.519
with sports. Huh.

436
00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:14.160
I said, I've never been skinnier day in mind. But

437
00:24:14.279 --> 00:24:16.839
I was looking at the pictures now, I said, wait

438
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:17.759
a minute.

439
00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:21.039
Now, the real listening has made a difference in my

440
00:24:21.200 --> 00:24:24.720
I mean many things. Thank you, Charles, thank you, just

441
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:28.400
thank you so much, so many Yeah.

442
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:29.000
I don't know.

443
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:33.359
Yeah, that's that's a scam thing. Keep trolling, keep trolling.

444
00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:35.680
I promise you your life will never be the same.

445
00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:38.240
Keep trolling ahead. Three.

446
00:24:38.799 --> 00:24:41.319
Yeah, but I you know, that's never been a skinnier

447
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:42.839
day in my life. But I look at some of

448
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:44.640
the pictures. I said, you know, I wasn't as big

449
00:24:44.680 --> 00:24:46.519
as I thought. You know, I wasn't big as I

450
00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:49.200
thought I was, and people were saying I was.

451
00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.279
I said, I would love to get back that.

452
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:53.240
Yeah, but let's talk. Yeah, we're gonna talk about those

453
00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:56.359
people who yeah who. Every time I see you, just

454
00:24:56.680 --> 00:24:58.880
you get bigger. At least I got a high school

455
00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:02.000
diploma in a college. What what what say you? What

456
00:25:02.359 --> 00:25:06.039
say you? And my hair is mine? Thank you? You know, see,

457
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:10.519
don't seen you be bringing stuff out here? God bless

458
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:12.359
him but I don't know where he was when he

459
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:16.599
left him anyway. Man, got those people. We'll talk about

460
00:25:16.599 --> 00:25:18.759
that another time too, but yeah, you got those people

461
00:25:18.839 --> 00:25:23.119
that just can't say a positive thing. I can't even say,

462
00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:24.839
you know, I'm just glad you're my niece, So I'm

463
00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.400
glad you're my cousin. I'm glad you you know we're related,

464
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:29.960
or I'm glad you. You can't say that, and I

465
00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:32.079
try to say that to important people in my life.

466
00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:36.160
I'm glad Trey. I am so honored, I am so happy.

467
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:39.880
He had no idea that we would circle back. I

468
00:25:39.880 --> 00:25:43.400
had no idea we would circle back, thanks to Facebook.

469
00:25:43.799 --> 00:25:45.960
Thanks to Facebook. I was just checking to see if

470
00:25:45.960 --> 00:25:48.000
you were still alive. Who alive out there? You know?

471
00:25:48.079 --> 00:25:50.839
Because you don't, you know, because I think we kind

472
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:54.880
of I don't know, because I always thought about you.

473
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:58.519
I'm serious, when we when we weren't colleagues, when we

474
00:25:58.519 --> 00:26:01.559
weren't the same Mareena always started. God, I'm telling you

475
00:26:02.119 --> 00:26:05.519
this is the honest to God true. You left a

476
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:08.960
lasting impression on me that day. And maybe that was

477
00:26:08.960 --> 00:26:11.440
God's inking, Okay, that that's got over there, that that's

478
00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:15.640
God over there. But somehow you weren't churchy, You weren't.

479
00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:18.519
You were just and I can't even remember all of

480
00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:23.559
the speaking that you did because it was at the

481
00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:26.799
Women of Color car Kids for FCA, d V and

482
00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:33.920
the Right, and so you were a speaker or presenter.

483
00:26:34.480 --> 00:26:37.960
And I said, wow, it meant a lasting impression to

484
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:38.599
the point.

485
00:26:38.559 --> 00:26:40.759
I want to be around her. I want to know

486
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:41.920
what she's doing, you know.

487
00:26:42.480 --> 00:26:44.759
And we were in different circles and then we kind

488
00:26:44.759 --> 00:26:47.880
of lost touch. And then I started thinking about because

489
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:50.839
one thing, when I was in Florida, I was doing

490
00:26:51.200 --> 00:26:53.759
a lot more different than I'm doing now. You know

491
00:26:53.839 --> 00:26:57.279
that that in this place, moving in different circles and

492
00:26:57.279 --> 00:26:59.400
and trying to see what people are doing to make

493
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:04.400
differences and communities, and that's how I think. That's that

494
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:08.039
that motivates me because you know, the communities, they were

495
00:27:08.079 --> 00:27:11.480
at risk communities for lack of a better term, uh

496
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:15.039
in Palmy's County, and so there was always a need

497
00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:18.960
for something and the thing what made it so enjoyable

498
00:27:19.640 --> 00:27:23.680
was that key players and stakeholders wanted to change. And

499
00:27:23.720 --> 00:27:29.000
then we started something where the community members itself wanted

500
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:32.599
to see different for their communities. And so that's what

501
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:35.920
it was all about you know, it was them driving

502
00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:36.359
the force.

503
00:27:36.480 --> 00:27:38.920
I want this in my because that's where it turned into.

504
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:40.519
And people, if.

505
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:43.519
Asked, have some ideas, but you got to move on it.

506
00:27:43.880 --> 00:27:44.319
You can't.

507
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:47.640
Sometimes you have to cut the bureaucracy and the red

508
00:27:47.720 --> 00:27:50.640
tape because that that that people say, Okay, they just talk,

509
00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:53.119
they're not they're not gonna move. But you have to

510
00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.920
be creative to try to bring these things forward. And

511
00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:58.799
I think when and when I met you, like I said,

512
00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:01.880
because I knew that about you, and that's what drives me.

513
00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:04.279
I gotta gotta stay in contact. And so when we

514
00:28:04.319 --> 00:28:08.440
did connect, I'm to you later. So it was, it was,

515
00:28:08.799 --> 00:28:12.119
it was great. And now look at this four years

516
00:28:12.400 --> 00:28:15.119
and I haven't seen Lisa personally and like you know,

517
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:23.000
years ago and so ago, okay, many many moons, but

518
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:26.519
still making a difference, you know, And that's what I like.

519
00:28:26.720 --> 00:28:28.559
And and I you know, like I.

520
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:31.160
Said, I think folks of the people are viewers and

521
00:28:31.160 --> 00:28:35.039
stuff like that. Be inspired by that because you too

522
00:28:35.119 --> 00:28:36.160
can make a difference.

523
00:28:36.240 --> 00:28:37.640
You're making a difference.

524
00:28:37.319 --> 00:28:41.160
Now even sharing sharing what we're doing. Yes, she has

525
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:44.039
a beautiful Yes she does tell you.

526
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:47.359
Yeah, when my daughter and I earlier this year, we've

527
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:49.279
learned to make a difference in our community from listening

528
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:51.640
to the show. Amen, mister y'all did it, and you

529
00:28:51.680 --> 00:28:55.599
didn't even realize you had the resources you you had

530
00:28:55.640 --> 00:28:59.039
to know how you had everything. You know, you already

531
00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:01.119
had it in you. You just said, you know what

532
00:29:01.400 --> 00:29:03.200
I forgot? Which one of you first time we did

533
00:29:03.240 --> 00:29:05.480
the giving, you know, going on into community and give

534
00:29:05.480 --> 00:29:07.279
it to the homeless, one of you said, you know,

535
00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:09.359
I didn't have the I didn't have money to give

536
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:12.880
to get but I went into Walmart and I got whatever.

537
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:14.720
I got a blanket. I was able to get this.

538
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:16.440
I was able to get that. So that's what makes

539
00:29:16.440 --> 00:29:18.640
a difference that you can pivot. You all have learned

540
00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.960
how to pivot. It's you know, and again I think,

541
00:29:22.079 --> 00:29:23.799
I know I've shared this with you all. One of

542
00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:26.759
my favorite cousins. I got in touch with her, you know,

543
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:30.279
years after my father had passed away and everything, and

544
00:29:30.319 --> 00:29:33.559
we were two brothers, kids and and she's I was like, hey,

545
00:29:33.559 --> 00:29:35.279
you know when I found out we were catching up

546
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:36.960
and I said, yeah, I wrote my first book. She oh,

547
00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:40.559
I'm not surprised. I said, what, I'm not surprised? You know,

548
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:44.519
and I'm like, really, are you serious? And I was

549
00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:47.720
just like, you know, it's just it's great. But you

550
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:50.799
opened us up, yes, mister, it but you were well willing.

551
00:29:51.200 --> 00:29:53.680
It was a two way street here. You were willing.

552
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:57.400
Y'all went out that year country seat every all of

553
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.200
y'all and you did what you could. You did what

554
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:03.200
you were led to do. And look at y'all. Now

555
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:05.759
you've been blessed by it. And that's what it's all.

556
00:30:05.920 --> 00:30:08.640
I take no credit for that though, ma'am don't even

557
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:11.799
know sir. It is only God and he's letting you

558
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:16.000
know His scriptures has come alive in you. I knew

559
00:30:16.039 --> 00:30:19.079
you before your mother's womb, knew you were coming. Do

560
00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:21.519
you know what that really means? Do you know what

561
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:25.599
that means? I knew you. God knew I had to

562
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:28.400
marry their dad. I had to leave pomp Beach. That

563
00:30:28.440 --> 00:30:29.839
was the only way I was gonna be leaving pom

564
00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:34.000
Beach County. Moved to central Florida. We're smack dab in

565
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:36.960
the middle of Florida. And then here I am, I'm

566
00:30:37.039 --> 00:30:40.079
having and then I have twins. That was not on

567
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:42.440
the bucket list, even though my father that rings me

568
00:30:42.559 --> 00:30:46.359
was a fraternal twin. Never crossed my mind. Never the

569
00:30:46.359 --> 00:30:49.880
I'm gonna have two babies, never, so you know, and

570
00:30:49.880 --> 00:30:51.599
then this one that looked just like me, so that

571
00:30:51.640 --> 00:30:56.799
I can have that mother motherly bond and that motherly development,

572
00:30:56.880 --> 00:30:59.519
all that stuff that I wanted as a child. Even

573
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:01.960
though my wasn't able to do that, she did the

574
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:04.240
best that she could. And I was just thinking about

575
00:31:04.240 --> 00:31:06.759
both of them this weekend. I just loved my parents.

576
00:31:07.119 --> 00:31:10.160
Nobody likes to give them credit but raising me, but

577
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:13.000
because and they didn't ask y'all for nothing, but they

578
00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:15.440
I mean, my parents did it. They did the bomb.

579
00:31:15.480 --> 00:31:17.440
And even when my mom just said, you know what

580
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:19.559
I'm just trying to you don't need to talk to

581
00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:23.119
a fourth grader about such life, big life issues. And

582
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:26.839
she put me in private school. Change my life, changed

583
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.119
my life. And then all of that, mister Larry Poe

584
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.400
from Saint Francis, our music teacher, brought out the music

585
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:36.000
in me, the performing arts in me. It was already

586
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:39.359
in you. And that's why I can say leadership is born,

587
00:31:39.960 --> 00:31:42.839
not created, unless you're a leader, and you didn't know

588
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:45.440
it like I was. I did not know I was

589
00:31:45.440 --> 00:31:49.359
a leader. No one ever spoke those words into my life. Nobody,

590
00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:52.680
It's just I had to. Here's a Southern Baptist teacher

591
00:31:53.119 --> 00:31:55.880
teaching us and putting two hundred students on the stage.

592
00:31:55.920 --> 00:31:58.359
For sure, curus, hell of us, get it, get things move,

593
00:31:58.440 --> 00:32:01.079
yes at the stagia, and hopefully you know these next few.

594
00:32:01.400 --> 00:32:03.680
I agree, we're all different for the better hearing things here.

595
00:32:03.720 --> 00:32:05.799
Hey man, thank you guys, thank you so much. And

596
00:32:06.119 --> 00:32:09.000
give it. We give it to God. You print it.

597
00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:11.359
It goes straight to the throne room. I promise you.

598
00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:14.400
Whatever you're saying on here goes straight through Jesus' feet

599
00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:19.279
straight there, direct communication. So don't hesitate on getting getting

600
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:22.200
to know him better. Because this is the open door.

601
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:26.559
This is not a portal. This is not a break

602
00:32:26.599 --> 00:32:29.119
in the atmosphere and matter and all that kind of stuff. No,

603
00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:33.440
this is right. You come on. He's heavenly hosts that

604
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:38.119
are already listening. Angels are already celebrating. Your angels are

605
00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:42.160
already already celebrating because you're making this time, your sacrificing

606
00:32:42.240 --> 00:32:45.200
this time. And I have more people on here who

607
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:49.440
are strangers, even Tennessee, who are strangers versus people who

608
00:32:49.519 --> 00:32:53.319
I know that know about this and don't support us.

609
00:32:53.839 --> 00:32:56.640
Thank you for your sister Trey. You know she supports you.

610
00:32:57.039 --> 00:33:00.519
Everybody know about this stuff and don't support you. All

611
00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:03.480
are taking that stand, and guess what you will get blessed,

612
00:33:03.759 --> 00:33:05.960
not because it's us, but because you were doing what

613
00:33:06.119 --> 00:33:10.119
God has ordained you and orchestrated and was hoping that

614
00:33:10.279 --> 00:33:13.039
you would do. Your life. Can't you come on this

615
00:33:13.119 --> 00:33:15.279
show you'd be a part. You listen one time. Your

616
00:33:15.319 --> 00:33:18.160
life can't be the same. It can't be. Our lives

617
00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:20.799
are not the same. You feel you think you're looking

618
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:23.039
at you other finished product. Heid No, you're not. I'm

619
00:33:23.079 --> 00:33:25.640
not finishing until I take a third time, take my

620
00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:29.000
last breath, and this time make it in. I'm not finished.

621
00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:32.559
We're still under construction. I had some weeks a few

622
00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:34.680
weeks ago. Y'alln't know anything about it. You probably was

623
00:33:34.720 --> 00:33:36.720
probably on your mind, and y'all just prayed a little harder.

624
00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:39.640
But going through some stuff. I've been in the valley recently,

625
00:33:39.920 --> 00:33:42.759
been in the valley, but I can't pick up the

626
00:33:42.799 --> 00:33:45.480
phone to talk about this. Then I'm feeling guilty because

627
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:47.839
I can't talk to anybody, because everybody punching the clock.

628
00:33:48.160 --> 00:33:50.960
Everybody got to check in. Everybody's on ground somewhere. Everybody

629
00:33:51.039 --> 00:33:52.880
got things to do. So I said, God, it's just

630
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:54.680
me and you. That's why I love him so much.

631
00:33:55.240 --> 00:33:56.839
But he brought me out of it. He brought me.

632
00:33:56.960 --> 00:33:59.079
I could see the clearing. I could see that. I

633
00:33:59.119 --> 00:34:01.720
could see it. I can see cleared it out because

634
00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:03.759
the rain is gone. I can see it now. I

635
00:34:03.839 --> 00:34:06.599
got a freshness, I got a fifth wind. Now I

636
00:34:06.680 --> 00:34:10.119
can feel it. I'm ready to go. Let's go. And

637
00:34:10.199 --> 00:34:13.760
the devil still creeps. But that's his job. It's his

638
00:34:14.000 --> 00:34:17.400
job to distract. It's his job to steal, to kill,

639
00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:21.239
and destroy. It's biblical. That's his job. Don't give him

640
00:34:21.280 --> 00:34:24.480
any credit, recognize who's doing it, and get out of

641
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:27.800
his way by letting God intervene. I don't know if

642
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:30.400
you all ever well. I know you're experiencing some of

643
00:34:30.480 --> 00:34:33.039
it now. But I want more overflow for y'all. I

644
00:34:33.119 --> 00:34:34.679
want y'all to live this. I want this to be

645
00:34:34.760 --> 00:34:36.960
a lifestyle for each and every one of you that

646
00:34:37.079 --> 00:34:40.199
have sacrificed your time to listen to us these past

647
00:34:40.280 --> 00:34:43.239
four years. I want you to live and overflow. My

648
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:47.599
cup overflows. Have you ever poured a liquid into a

649
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:51.239
cup or a glass until like, oh my God, it's overflowing,

650
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:54.000
or the pot on the stove is boiling and it's

651
00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:57.639
overflowed because it can't hold that God glory, I feel God,

652
00:34:57.880 --> 00:35:01.840
it can't hold that, so it's got go somewhere. That's God.

653
00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:06.079
God bless you. That's God. That's God. That's overflowed. You

654
00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:08.599
don't have to give a thought, now do I not? God?

655
00:35:08.679 --> 00:35:08.880
Do I?

656
00:35:09.320 --> 00:35:11.239
I don't? Do you really want me to go? He's like,

657
00:35:11.320 --> 00:35:12.679
you know I need you to go, but do it.

658
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:14.239
But you don't have to go. If you don't want

659
00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:16.119
to go, you don't have to go. Or God will

660
00:35:16.159 --> 00:35:17.400
lay it on me, like you know what the people

661
00:35:17.480 --> 00:35:19.880
need to see me. I said, oh yahn, say no more.

662
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:22.960
I'm gone. No matter how I'm feeling, I'm gone. So

663
00:35:23.079 --> 00:35:23.960
we hope and pray.

664
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:24.639
I know.

665
00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:27.679
I know God has made a difference. I know there's

666
00:35:27.719 --> 00:35:30.280
no way you could be around him and not feel

667
00:35:30.320 --> 00:35:33.800
a difference. There's no way you can't. You can't even

668
00:35:33.840 --> 00:35:35.920
if you give him a try. Just give him a

669
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:38.960
try and do it your way. You're different from me,

670
00:35:39.199 --> 00:35:41.880
she's different from me. Just just go ahead him at

671
00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:44.760
your at your pace, but go and like Trey said earlier,

672
00:35:44.840 --> 00:35:47.760
you got to move the job. The business ain't coming.

673
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:50.440
And sometimes it has come by yourll way and you

674
00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:53.559
didn't even recognize it. But somebody say, what you're doing?

675
00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:56.400
What you do with a Valentine's Day? I'm not doing anything.

676
00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:58.559
Oh you're not making any cakes. You ain't making no

677
00:35:58.679 --> 00:36:02.199
pies right there? You're like, nah, no, you know, I can't.

678
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:04.519
You know I can't have any Well, they ain't ask

679
00:36:04.599 --> 00:36:06.159
if you were gonna eat it. They just asked if

680
00:36:06.199 --> 00:36:12.559
you were making anything. See, they didn't say what you

681
00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:17.280
have for dessert? They just said, so you ain't baking

682
00:36:17.360 --> 00:36:21.159
nothing nothing? No, no, damn child. Nah you know, but

683
00:36:21.280 --> 00:36:23.239
you got big pots. I know who are the big

684
00:36:23.360 --> 00:36:24.960
pots for it? It's just you in the house. That's

685
00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:27.679
where I love. It's just you. But you got the

686
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:31.199
biggest parts I've ever seen. What where are we going

687
00:36:31.280 --> 00:36:34.639
with this? Where are we going with this? Y'all? O

688
00:36:34.800 --> 00:36:36.960
food stamps here? I don't know why God showed me that.

689
00:36:37.000 --> 00:36:39.360
I'm gonna say, if y'all want food stamps, y'all get

690
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:42.519
a basketfull of grocery. What you're doing with it? Did

691
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:44.119
you check on your neighbor to see if they have

692
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:47.920
a meal? Have you checked on them? Pastors in the church. Now, see,

693
00:36:48.559 --> 00:36:51.639
don't get me started on that, pastors, and I'm gonna

694
00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:56.039
come back. I don't don't do it, Okay, all right, anyway, See,

695
00:36:56.360 --> 00:36:58.880
y'all already knew what I was going. You already knew

696
00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:02.599
I was going. There's no church in this world that

697
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:06.000
should be asking anything. I double dare you if a

698
00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:08.880
pastor's listening to me, don't ask for tire the offer,

699
00:37:08.960 --> 00:37:10.719
don't put it in the service. And watch what God

700
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:13.239
will do if you trust him, if you believe he

701
00:37:13.400 --> 00:37:15.840
owns a cattle on a thousand hills, if you look

702
00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:17.360
to the hills from which come up with your health,

703
00:37:17.599 --> 00:37:19.639
or you could quote scripture, but do you live it.

704
00:37:20.079 --> 00:37:22.400
That's why I got people out here confused. That's why

705
00:37:22.480 --> 00:37:24.880
God has to back up to go find us, to

706
00:37:25.000 --> 00:37:27.480
bring us forward to where we need to be, because

707
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:30.000
you're all about you, and I fell into that because

708
00:37:30.039 --> 00:37:32.000
I mean, I want to monetize this. I don't need

709
00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:33.960
help you You all don't know how much this costs.

710
00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:35.159
No, you don't need to know.

711
00:37:35.840 --> 00:37:38.119
Because God said, go do it? Will he tell me

712
00:37:38.159 --> 00:37:40.800
to go do it? That means he's got provision, and

713
00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:42.840
I don't need to see it. I don't need to

714
00:37:42.920 --> 00:37:45.800
know it, because that's how much I trust him, lived it.

715
00:37:46.320 --> 00:37:49.199
That's how much I trusted. And even when you're in

716
00:37:49.280 --> 00:37:51.039
your valley and you're going through and you got to

717
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:52.920
look at life and you go to man, I am

718
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:55.920
so over this. I'm just Lord, you gotta Lord. And

719
00:37:56.000 --> 00:37:57.719
I didn't even ask God at the beginning, because I

720
00:37:57.800 --> 00:37:59.559
know I was going into the vaallet I realized. I

721
00:37:59.599 --> 00:38:01.360
was like, oh God, I'm in the valley, but all

722
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:03.519
this stuff I'm taking and all this kind of stuff,

723
00:38:03.840 --> 00:38:06.039
and I'm like God. And then I didn't even ask

724
00:38:06.119 --> 00:38:07.760
them to get me out of it. I said, let

725
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:09.559
me go through this. I don't want to go around it.

726
00:38:09.599 --> 00:38:11.400
I don't want to go under it. I don't want

727
00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:12.800
to go over it. I got to go through it

728
00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:15.599
because I'm not coming back here anymore. I'm not coming

729
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:18.239
back here just for my own sanity. I'm not coming

730
00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:21.519
back I'm not. So we hope and pray that you know,

731
00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:25.199

00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:26.639
your vision. Under your mission statement, rather, you're going to

771
00:40:26.719 --> 00:40:29.199

780
00:40:55.320 --> 00:40:58.719
Soul Soft, which is the Soft ministry for the disabled.

00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:03.159
We have annual giving to various communities the people who

782
00:41:03.199 --> 00:41:06.119
are over the age of sixty five. Those that's the

783
00:41:06.239 --> 00:41:09.000
how to go back to the five w's who, what

785
00:41:12.599 --> 00:41:14.840
do it? So I need you to do that work.

786
00:41:14.920 --> 00:41:17.199
That's work. You've got a whole two weeks now to

787
00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:19.360
do that work. So we can discuss it all right.

788
00:41:19.800 --> 00:41:22.199

789
00:41:22.360 --> 00:41:23.840
So if you need to make a call and we

790
00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:25.719
need to you need we need to reach out and

help you know we could do that. We're here for

792
00:41:27.800 --> 00:41:30.079
that because we only have fifty minutes that I can't

793
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:32.400
go through all of it at all at the same time.

794
00:41:32.480 --> 00:41:34.480
So you all have to do the work, all right.

795
00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:36.639
You have to do the work, and then when we

796
00:41:36.800 --> 00:41:38.519
come back, I want you to be able to tell

797
00:41:38.639 --> 00:41:42.159
me who are you doing a for profit business or

798
00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:44.559
are you doing a nonprofit business? I don't know if

799
00:41:44.599 --> 00:41:48.039
the young man with related to Country c who had

800
00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:53.519
the blogging and the newsletter's concept is on. But I

801
00:41:53.679 --> 00:41:56.280
had a word for him as what you could do

802
00:41:56.360 --> 00:42:00.559
to kind of make that into, uh between a for

803
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:03.800
profit because like almost making a magazine, but have a subscription.

804
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:06.079
So you've got to have a website for it so

805
00:42:06.199 --> 00:42:09.480
people can log in and for ninety nine cents they

806
00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:12.079
can you know, they can read all the articles. And

807
00:42:12.599 --> 00:42:14.440
then of course you could get people who want to

808
00:42:14.440 --> 00:42:17.159
put commercials on the ad on that blog on that

809
00:42:17.360 --> 00:42:19.400
site for you, and you can make money that way,

810
00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:23.239
and that'll make that the for profit. Okay, But anyway,

811
00:42:24.039 --> 00:42:27.599
just little things like that. And my husband used to

812
00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:29.719
hate it. He said, you got all these ideas. I said, yeah,

813
00:42:29.719 --> 00:42:31.920
but they're not mine. What he could not get was

814
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:36.599
they're not mine somebody else. And so that's how God

815
00:42:36.679 --> 00:42:39.199
has made me. You know. That's that resource. We are

816
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:42.519
resource trading our resources. We know our community, we know

817
00:42:42.639 --> 00:42:45.440
how things have been done. We're keeping our eyes and

818
00:42:45.599 --> 00:42:49.440
our ears into what's going on. It's another thing to guys,

819
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:56.039
aside from business. You all have got to yeah, bylaws, yeah, bylaws, yeah,

820
00:42:56.159 --> 00:42:59.880
just looking up because there's articles versus bylaws. Bylaws are

821
00:43:00.039 --> 00:43:04.559
more of your internal requirements and policy and procedures for

822
00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:07.119
your organization. So you got to do those. You've got

823
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:09.440
to fill in those blanks again, look up the template

824
00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:13.119
and just put the information in there, versus articles of incorporation.

825
00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:15.000
If you go to a bank to ask for a loan,

826
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:17.480
they're going to ask you for your business plan and

827
00:43:17.599 --> 00:43:20.199
your articles of incorporation to see what it is that

828
00:43:20.320 --> 00:43:24.000
you were the original intent for the organization or your business. Okay,

829
00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:26.480
and that's if you're doing a for profit or nonprofit.

830
00:43:26.599 --> 00:43:28.800
Those are some of those similarities. You need to have

831
00:43:28.920 --> 00:43:31.719
your bylaws, you need to have articles of incorporation, all right.

832
00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:33.960
You've got to have a mission statement. You've got to

833
00:43:33.960 --> 00:43:35.800
have a vision. What was a vision for all of this?

834
00:43:36.199 --> 00:43:38.280
Where did this all come from? My vision for helping

835
00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:42.159
the elderly is particularly black? Business plan? Yes, missed it.

836
00:43:42.239 --> 00:43:43.880
We're gonna talk about it. We can get into it

837
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:46.360
that maybe when we come back around, we can land

838
00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:48.719
on that. Definitely talking about a business plan, But again

839
00:43:48.760 --> 00:43:52.760
it goes back to those w's who what when? What's

840
00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:56.000
the business? When are you gonna do it? Who's the population?

841
00:43:56.119 --> 00:43:59.079
What's the population? Where are you going to conduct this

842
00:43:59.239 --> 00:43:59.800
at so much.

843
00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:00.480
It is.

844
00:44:01.039 --> 00:44:03.800
It's not a whole lot, but we can't do a

845
00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:06.239
whole We can only do so much in fifty minutes.

846
00:44:06.639 --> 00:44:09.039
But we'll do the best I can. I'll make myself

847
00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:12.119
available trade you know as well, will you know, be

848
00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:14.559
available and stuff because she will share what she knows

849
00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:17.199
as well. But you know, take our numbers and give

850
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:19.079
us a call. You know, that's gonna be the best thing.

851
00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:21.280
And then I can do a zoom call for everybody,

852
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:24.000
a zoom training or something like that, because we would

853
00:44:24.039 --> 00:44:26.159
need at least a good hour to go over things.

854
00:44:26.400 --> 00:44:28.280
But I'm giving you some homework that will help you

855
00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:34.360
start understanding language, start understanding what's expected, you know, things

856
00:44:34.440 --> 00:44:36.280
like that. It's not as bad as it sounds, but

857
00:44:36.440 --> 00:44:39.119
you've got to put the work in. I chuckled. I

858
00:44:39.199 --> 00:44:44.039
went to a grant writing workshop years ago and everybody people,

859
00:44:44.719 --> 00:44:47.599
the host was just going around in circles, and I'm like,

860
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:50.480
I raised my hand and I said, I just need

861
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:52.400
to make a statement. And I said, you got to

862
00:44:52.480 --> 00:44:54.719
write your vision and mission. And the girls behind us

863
00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:58.159
said we got to write. And I'm like, oh boy, okay,

864
00:44:58.480 --> 00:45:00.519
let me just sit down. Go on over y'all, in

865
00:45:00.559 --> 00:45:03.840
a minute. So yeah, so let me be yes, you

866
00:45:03.960 --> 00:45:06.239
got to write because you got to bring your heart out.

867
00:45:06.719 --> 00:45:09.800
And what the specialty we have is, you know you'll

868
00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:12.480
give it, Give me the idea, talk about the idea,

869
00:45:12.559 --> 00:45:14.960
talk about the concept. Who are you helping? Why are

870
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:17.400
you doing this? And then we can I can help

871
00:45:17.440 --> 00:45:20.119
you or put that in funders terms, what are these

872
00:45:20.559 --> 00:45:24.360
what are these grants? Who can get them? Nonprofits? Nonprofits

873
00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:26.480
can apply for grants. Well, you don't have to pay

874
00:45:26.519 --> 00:45:29.119
the money back. It's not a loan versus for profits.

875
00:45:29.199 --> 00:45:31.079
Not a lot of times they're going, you know, to

876
00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:34.599
banks or you know, getting loans to start that business.

877
00:45:34.639 --> 00:45:36.159
But you don't even have to do that. I got

878
00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:39.599
a definite, definite short way of starting a for profit

879
00:45:39.719 --> 00:45:41.960
business before you go to the bank to get a loan.

880
00:45:42.280 --> 00:45:44.000
But we have to talk about it. You have to

881
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:46.639
let me know if you're interested. But like I said,

882
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:48.480
think about if you want us to do a zoom call,

883
00:45:48.960 --> 00:45:51.559
you know and start doing that kind of training. We

884
00:45:51.599 --> 00:45:54.079
could do that, you know, stuff like that. Everybody be

885
00:45:54.159 --> 00:45:55.639
interested in that because you're going to need to be

886
00:45:55.679 --> 00:45:58.039
writing while I'm talking. And as you can tell, you

887
00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:00.599
see how I deliver I try to stay on track,

888
00:46:00.880 --> 00:46:03.760
but there are times that you know what, all right,

889
00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:05.480
thank you? See what I mean? We can I couple

890
00:46:05.519 --> 00:46:08.039
live people that want us. We got to say it long.

891
00:46:08.159 --> 00:46:09.800
I don't think they can hear you? Did you hear?

892
00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:12.760
This is for people that want to start a business,

893
00:46:13.559 --> 00:46:16.159
just to inform them, because you know, yeah, they don't

894
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:18.679
need to be researching it if they don't want to. Okay, Well,

895
00:46:18.719 --> 00:46:21.679
this is for folks who've asked, who inquired about starting

896
00:46:22.039 --> 00:46:24.920
their own business? Yes, a business plan, go back to mystery. Yes,

897
00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:27.800
a business plan. What's the plan? What you're doing? You

898
00:46:27.880 --> 00:46:29.440
got to have it written down somewhere. That's why I

899
00:46:29.440 --> 00:46:32.360
always tell you get a what's wrong? No, that's why

900
00:46:32.519 --> 00:46:35.519
I tell people to get five sub three to five

901
00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:39.880
subject notebook, you know, college bound with pockets, because you

902
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:42.239
could be writing down mission state that first part. That

903
00:46:42.360 --> 00:46:45.840
first section is mission and vision and goals and objectives. Okay,

904
00:46:46.119 --> 00:46:47.960
and then the next part is like, okay, where do

905
00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:50.119
I go? Because there's other steps action steps that you

906
00:46:50.199 --> 00:46:52.480
need to do to be successful. Okay, but you got

907
00:46:52.599 --> 00:46:55.239
to do it. You got to do it. There's no lealan,

908
00:46:55.480 --> 00:46:58.400
it's staying up here. That's that's that's not going anywhere

909
00:46:58.480 --> 00:47:00.639
until you put it on paper and you and you're like,

910
00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:03.000
oh wow, is it? Trust me, you'll go back and

911
00:47:03.039 --> 00:47:04.679
say no, I don't want to do that. No, that

912
00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:07.719
should be first. What's phase one? What's phase two? Planning

913
00:47:07.800 --> 00:47:10.440
and development is phase one. That's a great if you're

914
00:47:10.559 --> 00:47:12.400
not properly, you can get a glance for that. Just

915
00:47:12.559 --> 00:47:15.159
for planning and developing. There's money out there for it.

916
00:47:15.599 --> 00:47:18.639
Then of course, last, but at least, please all of

917
00:47:18.800 --> 00:47:21.679
your commissioners, your representatives. You need to be on their

918
00:47:22.559 --> 00:47:25.079
their social media pages. You need to know what they're doing,

919
00:47:25.199 --> 00:47:27.440
what they stand for, what they're doing now, because it

920
00:47:27.519 --> 00:47:30.639
is different from what they originally intended that you voted for.

921
00:47:31.039 --> 00:47:32.920
It's totally different. So you need to see what they're

922
00:47:33.000 --> 00:47:34.480
doing now. The only we gonna do that is be

923
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:36.719
on their social media page because they're gonna be telling

924
00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:38.199
you stuff that they do. And you got to ask

925
00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:41.760
God for discernment so you can read between the lines

926
00:47:42.519 --> 00:47:45.599
because it also gives you adds to your prayer points

927
00:47:45.679 --> 00:47:50.199
as well. Okay, well, if that's it, Happy foth, Happy

928
00:47:50.320 --> 00:47:53.960
four years. This it next week is holiday, but we

00:47:54.039 --> 00:47:56.880
will see you in two weeks. You better, stay safe,

930
00:47:57.239 --> 00:47:59.840

and we thank you. Ny night. See you next week.

932
00:48:02.880 --> 00:48:05.239
