34
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:30.919
roll call. Come on, viewers, come on check in, let

36
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:37.560
I need everybody checking in, especially my younger people who

37
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.199
are en route. They're probably en route heading home. I

38
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.000
need those folks to check in because I have a

39
00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.560
specific question to ask them. So we'll we'll wait humbly,

40
00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:49.960
but we can fill in with noise. That music is

41
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.919
just off the chain, especially when he drops it and

42
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.599
he drops it again, I'm like, wait for it, to

43
00:02:58.159 --> 00:02:59.759
wait for it. I love it. I love it. I

44
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.840
love it for me. How's the weather up there? Let

45
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.680
me ask that first. Let's let's go there and take

46
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:06.599
care of the important things.

47
00:03:06.840 --> 00:03:11.680
Glorious, beautiful, Oh my gosh, I needed today.

48
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:14.680
It was seventy something sunshiny.

49
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:18.960
Okay, yes, I need I really That.

50
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:23.680
Snow is gone, hope for good, and I think it's

51
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:24.680
gonna be a little warmer.

52
00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:27.800
But yeah, I needed that today, So thank you, lord boy.

53
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:30.719
It was really strange because we have our fair just left,

54
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.719
and every year it has been coming here, especially in Orlando,

55
00:03:36.039 --> 00:03:39.639
it is always in the forties when you're going out there,

56
00:03:39.680 --> 00:03:41.879
it's always in the forties. In the fifties, amen, a

57
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:48.599
misty Amen. And this week Thursday, it cooled off and

58
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:54.280
I'm like, Okay, something is really happening. When nature speaks,

59
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.520
When nature starts talking, Oh yeah, you got to stand

60
00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:01.120
to attention and watch it because it's never been and warm.

61
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.000
It's never been under forties never. I mean, everybody's out

62
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.360
there with their you know, jeans and boots and everything else, jackets,

63
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.080
you know, and stuff. And I didn't get a chance

64
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.360
to go this year, but we've got another fair around

65
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:15.199
the corner, so I want to go out there. And

66
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:17.360
then because we went to that one last year for

67
00:04:17.399 --> 00:04:20.399
the first time, so I'm gonna try that one. But yeah, Lord,

68
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:23.639
please let it be. Let it stay here now. I mean,

69
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:25.759
we can have some coolness, but I got to get

70
00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:28.600
my grass back, you know. I'm waiting for the green

71
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:33.399
and ready to come back. And that's cold for Florida. Yes, Mickey, yeah,

72
00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:38.759
but it's it's really decent. It's really decent. I think

73
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:41.600
it's good evening. Other k okay, okay, it's not showing

74
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.600
up on the other thing here, but that's okay. I see,

75
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.959
I've got my comments here. So good evening. Good to

76
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.319
evening that said, yes, yes, yes, come on in El Tennessee.

77
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:51.800
I like this start.

78
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:54.079
You.

79
00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:59.439
But everything is good, Everything's good, And I'm telling you

80
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:02.319
this has been a week of redemption for me. I

81
00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:06.000
tell you. I you know. There was an allegation on

82
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.959
one of the social media channels and Lord helped me

83
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.720
to say this because you want me to go easy

84
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:16.839
on this. But I need my youngest crew to respond,

85
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:21.360
so Missy, I'm not I hope everybody is, Mickey, which one.

86
00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.560
I think it's either one of you, whoever has the

87
00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:27.920
younger people. I need to ask one question and they

88
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:32.000
could be honest with me or you can answer for them.

89
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:35.480
Have they while listening to the show to the radio,

90
00:05:35.959 --> 00:05:38.959
I do okay, missy, thank you. While listening to the show,

91
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:42.759
have they ever expressed that they are afraid of the

92
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.000
information that we will share, especially about talking about what

93
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.519
the current events are and stuff. Have they ever said

94
00:05:48.560 --> 00:05:51.199
to you, Oh my god, we're so afraid, you know.

95
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.279
I just like to know, and I want then we

96
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:56.720
want the straight, straight truth. I've talked to other people,

97
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:59.639
but God tell me, Toby, out of the mouth of babes.

98
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.959
Let's see what they have to say, and then I'll

99
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.480
go a little further. No, okay, I wanted to show

100
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:07.439
up on the screen so everybody can see what I see,

101
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:11.959
what we see, but a way they thank you. Okay, okay. Yeah,

102
00:06:12.040 --> 00:06:15.959
So I've got adults out there saying that we're they

103
00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.720
don't want to incite fear. So they made a report

104
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.639
and I didn't even see the first time they made

105
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:24.279
a report. I don't know if it's the same group,

106
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:29.040
but I removed myself from all groups because okay, we

107
00:06:29.160 --> 00:06:31.839
all grow things. I understand people and their red and

108
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:35.600
whatever they be. Hey on the station that that's fine

109
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:37.600
and we we we can move on now. Thank you,

110
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.319
Thank you, missy. Thank the crew. I gotta treat them

111
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:43.040
to pizza or something. We'll send them a gift card

112
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:47.920
or something. You'll take care of that. But yeah, you know, accusations.

113
00:06:47.959 --> 00:06:53.279
People have accusations, allegations this show. Yes, Mickey, Yeah, yeah, yeah,

114
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:58.480
I was accused of The accusation came that we incite fear. Oh,

115
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:01.519
they don't want us. They don't want, you know, their

116
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:06.480
membership to be incited and fearful. I'm thinking we're coming,

117
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:09.839
we're setting things straight. God gives us everything we need

118
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:11.920
to say. As you all who have been listening at

119
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.480
least for a few months, we could say what we're

120
00:07:14.519 --> 00:07:16.959
gonna think, we're gonna talk about, but he takes over

121
00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:20.120
the show the moment we pray, and I would only

122
00:07:20.199 --> 00:07:23.600
hope that you know, but it's okay because I love

123
00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:28.079
constructive criticism. When it's constructive, it can only make make

124
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:31.079
us better. It can only make us better, and we're

125
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.879
always self reflecting, so you know, it shouldn't have. It

126
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.160
caught me off guard because of the group that came after.

127
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:40.240
That's the only thing that caught me off guard. But

128
00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.759
I stood for it. I looked with the God and say,

129
00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:45.480
what you want me to do? But what we're doing.

130
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.920
And he said, you continue on, Soldier and that's all

131
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:50.439
I needed. And I said, you know what, I'm gonna

132
00:07:50.439 --> 00:07:54.759
go ahead and excuse myself from all groups because you know,

133
00:07:54.959 --> 00:08:00.639
people whatever, and that's your issue. We've I've direct directed

134
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:03.240
you to profits out there that are talking about they

135
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:06.199
could give you the temperature of the climate of the world,

136
00:08:06.759 --> 00:08:08.800
except to you to follow and then listen. I know

137
00:08:08.839 --> 00:08:13.319
people are scared. Well, you ain't seen nothing yet. You

138
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:17.879
haven't seen nothing. Who said that, Nikki? Oh see, they

139
00:08:17.879 --> 00:08:20.600
are interested in any things y'all tell us here because

140
00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:24.759
we have got not gotten the truth from others. Whoa missy, whoa?

141
00:08:25.120 --> 00:08:25.199
No.

142
00:08:25.439 --> 00:08:28.160
Look, I've already been tearful today because I talk with

143
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:31.560
my group in Canada and they're like what what And

144
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.559
you know, no, that's not even y'all personality. Go ahead,

145
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.039
trade Yeah.

146
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.799
I think people people shy away. Okay, I'm trying to

147
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.519
say this right. There's a difference. There's a difference between

148
00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:53.080
trying to be informative and provide educational pieces versus wanting

149
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:54.399
to make people afraid.

150
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:59.159
And I think the more that we no one suld say.

151
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:03.039
That, oh you know, And I think the more we

152
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.759
we have dialogue about whatever it is. The thing that

153
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.559
I like is that we're talking about it. We're talking

154
00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:15.440
about whatever that the topics are or whatever God lays

155
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:19.200
on us to reveal or to talk about. It's not

156
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.840
to make anyone afraid. And just to say it could

157
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:26.240
be fearful, It could be, it could be frightening. But

158
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:31.879
sometimes the truth is frightening. Sometimes education or history is frightening.

159
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:36.000
Sometimes learning about different religious could be frightening, or other

160
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:39.639
groups could be frightening. But if you don't talk about it,

161
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.600
you really will be afraid because you will stay in

162
00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:45.240
the dark about some stuff. And so and I'm not

163
00:09:45.360 --> 00:09:49.120
quite sure what or you know, what the what all

164
00:09:49.240 --> 00:09:51.120
was said or what was said, but.

165
00:09:51.039 --> 00:09:54.159
I think on this show we try to find.

166
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:58.559
Ways to bring commonalities and if there are questions, because

167
00:09:58.600 --> 00:10:01.080
I think we have a group of followers.

168
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.559
Who are not afraid to ask, who are not afraid.

169
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.879
To ask questions, and who are not afraid to understand.

170
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:10.759
And the thing is, we don't say just believe us.

171
00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:15.000
We say do the research and just kind of weigh

172
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:16.919
it because I don't want to tell you just like

173
00:10:17.080 --> 00:10:20.519
you know, since it's social work, you know, Ms. Gray,

174
00:10:20.600 --> 00:10:24.240
we don't tell our clients what to do pretty much.

175
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:28.440
We explore what things will work best for them. Why

176
00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.879
because we want to empower them to be and more

177
00:10:31.960 --> 00:10:35.000
engage in what's going on with them. Because if we're

178
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:37.159
telling them to do stuff from our point of view

179
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.559
or the way we would do it, it's not their

180
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.960
way of doing stuff and it's not going to be productive.

181
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.720
And so I think this group here and we've got

182
00:10:44.759 --> 00:10:47.159
a great group of followers, and I think they will

183
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:50.120
be honest enough to tell us if it's something will

184
00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.240
whoa whoa, y'all need to back up. And I appreciate

185
00:10:53.279 --> 00:10:56.320
that because that's what we need to grow. But I

186
00:10:56.320 --> 00:10:59.039
think if we don't, sometimes you got to push the envelope.

187
00:10:59.159 --> 00:11:02.120
Why because we all want to find common knowledgies and

188
00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:05.399
understand there are things that I'm I'm learning as well

189
00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:06.000
as we go.

190
00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:08.320
I think all of us are. And if no one

191
00:11:08.360 --> 00:11:11.559
can say that they're learning stuff, yeah, it could be fearful.

192
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:14.240
Like I think there might be beings out there that

193
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:17.879
could be very fearful, but I need to know if

194
00:11:18.279 --> 00:11:21.440
if they find something, and if it's true, people report

195
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:23.879
yeah this is this is this? You need to know

196
00:11:24.039 --> 00:11:26.519
so you can be aware, but I don't think we

197
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:32.120
try to incite fear on this show. And audience members, Yeah,

198
00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.919
if you.

199
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:37.720
Exactly, just let us know and we give you remedy,

200
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:40.399
We give you solutions. We come here. We know their

201
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:43.159
problems out there in the world. We know them, we

202
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.559
know them we want we know them professionally, we know

203
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:49.279
them clinically, and more importantly, we know them spiritually. So

204
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:51.759
we try to help you ease it up a little

205
00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:54.240
bit by saying, you know, but there's hope, there is amen.

206
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:59.120
And then then Satan will try to blind Sorry, I'm sorry,

207
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:02.320
Satan will try to blind you so that you will

208
00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:04.600
not want to understanding them.

209
00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:06.799
So he wants you to deflect.

210
00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:10.440
And and and be afraid and and and put a false,

211
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:13.639
false things into your mind. And other people who are

212
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.799
followers of that, are believers of that, want to do

213
00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.559
the same thing. They don't want you to reveal this,

214
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.120
that and the other thing. It will show you something

215
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:25.080
else and have you guessing. So but like I said,

216
00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:28.080
we put it out there, do your research and miss

217
00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:30.840
miss Gray and miss miss o k and we try

218
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:33.840
to give you scriptures and things so you can look

219
00:12:33.879 --> 00:12:34.519
for yourself.

220
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:38.559
Yeah, yeah, that's why if you notice I stopped, huh,

221
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:41.000
saying the whole script, reading the scripture out loud. I'll

222
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:43.279
put that. Go to Psalms, you know, sixty four and

223
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:47.000
verse eight. Go there for yourself and you get your

224
00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:50.279
interpretation of that. You know, we want you strengthen. I

225
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:52.679
just don't like folks to be caught off guard. I

226
00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:56.559
can't imagine being in a country where you are prone

227
00:12:56.559 --> 00:12:59.559
for flooding and tsunamis and stuff, but you have no

228
00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:03.159
alle mechanism at all. And I was listening to one

229
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:06.879
of the prophets we listened to today and she said she

230
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:09.360
was she was excited about making this trip to a

231
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.399
certain state. She was so excited. And she's like, oh, wow,

232
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:15.639
can hardly go. You're heading to the airport. The Lord

233
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:17.399
is telling her, I don't want you. You can't get

234
00:13:17.399 --> 00:13:19.399
on that plane. You can't get on the plane. And

235
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.240
she's like, okay. Now. The first thing we thought, because

236
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.240
when it sounds like it's good and gold and we're

237
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:26.159
feeling so good about the first ding was oh that's

238
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:28.159
the devil. That was you're a liar. And God is

239
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.279
so beautiful, He's so gentle, Jesus is so gentle. Holy

240
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:36.480
Spirit is so courteous. No, it's us, and we're telling

241
00:13:36.519 --> 00:13:40.080
you don't get on that flight. But because of her strength,

242
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:42.600
her faith in God, she said, okay, you know what,

243
00:13:42.840 --> 00:13:45.279
I'm not going. She said, it hurt me like the devil.

244
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:49.080
The very next day, Hurricane Sandy hit the state, and

245
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:52.440
they had no warning. People stayed at had to stay

246
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:56.399
at the airport for a week because offices, houses, all

247
00:13:56.480 --> 00:13:59.759
kinds of everything was flooded. Everything was flooded. So we

248
00:13:59.799 --> 00:14:01.720
try to give you that heads up that you know

249
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:04.240
what you know. We know what's coming. We know some

250
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:06.159
of the things that are coming. Some things we can

251
00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:08.600
what put a dent in it, we can slow it up.

252
00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:11.200
As long as everybody's praying on one accord. That's the

253
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:14.360
whole thing being on one accord, you know. And then

254
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:16.480
there's some things we can't help. It's got the role

255
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.399
itself out. Just like Jesus had to train Judas. I

256
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:23.120
have not met anybody yet that will say, oh, I

257
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:25.440
know you the enemy and I got to train you anyway.

258
00:14:25.720 --> 00:14:29.440
I know you here to take my job. I know

259
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.159
I'm training you for my job even though I'm not leaving,

260
00:14:32.279 --> 00:14:35.039
I'm not resigning, but they're making me trained. I don't

261
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:38.000
know anybody that will not that can't sit comfortable with that.

262
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:41.000
I haven't met you yet, haven't met you yet, so

263
00:14:41.840 --> 00:14:45.039
I get it. It's over. I forgive y'all. I forgive

264
00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:47.759
the groups. I forgive the people, forgive the administrators. I

265
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:51.600
forgive you because I'm heaving bound. Cannot let your opinion.

266
00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:54.279
You guys are truthful. That's that's his sister trade. The

267
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:59.360
enemy is tricking them. Yeah, you know, I can't say anymore.

268
00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:02.759
I can't give any flower or anything. I am good,

269
00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:05.679
but I forgive you, and I can and every minute

270
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:08.279
of the day when I have to forgive somebody, the

271
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:10.480
words of Jesus come back to me when he was

272
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:13.279
on the cross, when he told his father, forgive them,

273
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:15.399
but they don't know what they're doing. That's how I

274
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:19.120
can forgive real quick. Sometimes you just don't know, and

275
00:15:19.159 --> 00:15:21.279
I can understand you protecting. That's why I don't want

276
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:23.519
to be the president over anything. I don't want to

277
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:25.480
be over anything because I got the first of all,

278
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:28.559
got to take everybody's thoughts into consideration, and some of

279
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:30.440
that don't line up with my father, don't line up

280
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:32.679
with my Bible. I have to hear you out anyway,

281
00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:36.159
so you'll never catch me again being president over something.

282
00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:40.879
I'm over my nonprofit, I'm over my LLC, and we

283
00:15:40.919 --> 00:15:43.279
go and I got a great board on both, advisory

284
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:47.320
boards on both. Okay, I'm good. They don't tell and

285
00:15:47.399 --> 00:15:49.639
these people don't tell me what I want to hear.

286
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.080
They tell me what I need to hear. They are

287
00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.919
not yes people, but they're the kindest people on this world,

288
00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:56.840
in this world. But they are not going to sit

289
00:15:56.840 --> 00:15:58.639
there and say, you know what, miss Gray, you whatever

290
00:15:58.679 --> 00:16:01.720
you want. Uh uh. They'll they'll rebuttal me if they

291
00:16:01.759 --> 00:16:04.559
need to. I'll call Tray for her opinion on something.

292
00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:07.440
She's gonna tell me the truth. She knows me well enough. Oh,

293
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:09.679
come on, come with it. And as I've said to

294
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:11.840
you all before when I was a college professor, on

295
00:16:11.919 --> 00:16:14.559
the first night, I'm explaining the syllabus and everything else

296
00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:17.120
that was expected in the class, and on purpose, I

297
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:20.759
would hold out the following comment, which was, oh, by

298
00:16:20.799 --> 00:16:23.320
the way, you get to evaluate me. And this student's

299
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.600
like ooh I said. All like I say is take

300
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:27.679
your best shot. They're like, oh god, she's gonna kill us.

301
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:30.879
She's gonna be hard. Oh my god. I said, take

302
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:32.919
your best shot, because I can only be better. When

303
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.200
you're a teacher. Teaching is a two way street. There's

304
00:16:36.279 --> 00:16:38.320
no way as a teacher. You may not want to

305
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:40.840
admit it, but if you ever in the teaching profession,

306
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:43.840
there's no way. You don't walk away learning from learning something.

307
00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:46.000
Even though you know of the course, you know the

308
00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:49.080
subject matter, you know the content, you've lived it out.

309
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:51.600
In some cases you know you know that, but you

310
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:56.120
always walk away learning something you have to. You don't

311
00:16:56.159 --> 00:16:59.159
have a choice. It just happens. Y'all know, some of

312
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.559
y'all ain't gonna let me, but I love it. I

313
00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:06.079
love walking away from my different semesters learning something like wow, okay,

314
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:09.920
you know taking the heat. So you you know coming

315
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:13.319
after One thing you won't do is come after my viewers.

316
00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:15.480
You won't come after my co host. You won't come

317
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.559
after my engineer, our producer. You're not coming after them now,

318
00:17:18.680 --> 00:17:21.559
You're not. Now, just hear me, And I got scriptured

319
00:17:21.559 --> 00:17:23.400
to back me up on that. You're not going to

320
00:17:23.480 --> 00:17:25.960
do that. Come for me because I've been in the

321
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.680
position where I had to cover people and the arrows

322
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.119
hit me, not them. So you got the right one.

323
00:17:33.480 --> 00:17:34.559
This is why I'll put.

324
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:38.240
Some of us on eagle. I was trying to say something,

325
00:17:38.599 --> 00:17:40.079
so I had to write down I'm sorry, you're going

326
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:44.359
to raise it anyway, Okay, that should be the light.

327
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.200
But I was going to say that truth is preparation.

328
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:49.480
That's w I fucked the Holy Spirit of telling me

329
00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:52.759
truth is preparation. And I believe there's no limit to

330
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:55.200
what we say, and there shouldn't be no limit. And

331
00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:58.680
also some things need to be said. I mean, that's

332
00:17:58.720 --> 00:18:00.000
on them. If they don't want to be paid.

333
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:03.799
You would never say you've never told Yeah, but to

334
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:06.759
not say that, not when it comes to this particular programming.

335
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:10.279
You can never say that we didn't know. Oh okay,

336
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:13.839
And and all the platforms were on you could go

337
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:17.960
back if they archived their content. You can listen to

338
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:20.519
any show over the last four years. You can listen

339
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:22.720
to any show and let me say this piece, and

340
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:24.200
then I want to go on and talk about our

341
00:18:24.240 --> 00:18:28.559
beautiful profession in Christianity. And I think it's probably like

342
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:33.000
that with all religious denominations and stuff people are gonna

343
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.039
take away. They'll take enough of the pie that suits them.

344
00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:39.880
There are some people who don't want to be challenged.

345
00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:42.839
There are some people who don't, who are fearful love

346
00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:45.880
tomorrow because they don't know what's gonna what could pop off,

347
00:18:46.000 --> 00:18:48.839
they don't know. And then it's those types of people

348
00:18:48.839 --> 00:18:51.759
that close themselves off. Those are people who are not

349
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.680
leaping on anything. They're not taking a chance on God.

350
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:59.200
They're not risky. I'm a Christian. I believe in God.

351
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:01.960
That's as far as I want to go. Don't recruit me.

352
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:04.680
Don't talk scripture, don't tell me about the reading our Bible,

353
00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:06.920
don't tell me about praying in tongues, don't tell me

354
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:09.920
about they're gonna get the ashes for ash Wisday, but

355
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:12.839
don't tell me about communion. Don't tell me how to

356
00:19:12.880 --> 00:19:15.880
live my life. But they believe in God. And that's fine.

357
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:18.920
That's fine, And that's why the saying came about the

358
00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:22.119
wealthiest place in the world is a graveyard, because in there,

359
00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:25.680
every time you pass a graveyard, just think about all

360
00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:33.319
the hopes and dreams and cures and new education, new findings,

361
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:39.519
discoveries all lie six feet eight feet or entombed in

362
00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:42.559
a mausoleum. Because that person either didn't find the right

363
00:19:42.599 --> 00:19:45.359
people to connect with, didn't believe that they were chosen

364
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:48.960
to do certain things, or you know, whatever the case

365
00:19:49.000 --> 00:19:51.799
may be. Hey, John Charles, Hey, how could anyone have

366
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:55.000
said bad? I've never heard anything wrong on this show.

367
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:58.519
Even if you don't agree about something on directly believe exactly,

368
00:19:58.599 --> 00:20:00.720
I have never heard anything that would be considered wrong

369
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:02.920
on the show. Thank you, Charles, Thank you. There's some

370
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:05.079
people that are like that, and that's fine. I just

371
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:07.559
don't like the integrity of the show. I don't want

372
00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:10.720
my co hosts. I don't want our hosts that it

373
00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:13.680
has us under his umbrella, you know. I don't want

374
00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.519
them to take those hits. But that's okay. We're good.

375
00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:18.680
We're pulling out of it and I'm over it now.

376
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:21.200
We've forgiven the people. It's over. And thank you Lord

377
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:22.839
for allowing me to say what I need to say,

378
00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:25.960
because you know, it just and it was the you know,

379
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.799
it's just when it's certain people, it kind of pinches

380
00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:30.319
you a little bit, like, well, I didn't see that

381
00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:32.799
coming from over there. But I don't know everything. I

382
00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:35.599
don't want to know everything. I love discovery, I love

383
00:20:35.640 --> 00:20:38.279
exciting and finding out new things, and I'm like, oh,

384
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:41.160
I got okay. So certain people are not going to

385
00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.200
be ready right now. You're not ready for climate change.

386
00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:47.640
You're not ready for you're losing the One lady covered

387
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:50.599
up all her plants here in the next county over

388
00:20:50.680 --> 00:20:52.920
and lost them all. She covered up, she did whatever

389
00:20:52.960 --> 00:20:54.880
the news people told her to do and what she

390
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:56.920
did to do, and she lost everything. She lost all

391
00:20:56.920 --> 00:21:00.400
the plants, all the foliage, everything. And you sit there like, wow,

392
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:03.240
what did that happen? She did the right thing. You

393
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:06.119
know things are gonna happen. I just want you to

394
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:08.240
be encouraging. And the only way I know of encouragement

395
00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.440
is not my degree. It's not my work experience. It's

396
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:14.720
not my professional experience. It's not my family that raised me.

397
00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:17.880
It's not my culture, it's not it's my trust and

398
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:21.640
faith in God. I'm gonna go over slowly and safely

399
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:25.079
over to social work. Everybody wants to be a social

400
00:21:25.079 --> 00:21:27.920
worker because of your experience. And I've shared stories with you,

401
00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.759
I've worked with people. One lady, she had an undergrad

402
00:21:30.759 --> 00:21:34.319
degree in anthropology, and she she just thought she was

403
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:37.119
the best case manager. And I would tell her, that's

404
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:39.839
why you're a case manager, not a social worker, and

405
00:21:39.880 --> 00:21:41.440
she said, no, I'm a social worker. I said, but

406
00:21:41.480 --> 00:21:44.440
you have degree is in anthropology, which is is under

407
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:52.960
the umbrella cause social work, social services, anthropology, what's another one, sociology?

408
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.480
All they're all under that same degree.

409
00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:56.319
All of that.

410
00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:59.759
I kid you not. When I went in and started

411
00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:02.799
my social work field, I got a invitation from the

412
00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:07.359
Smithsonian to come and intern there. The Smithsonian is the

413
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:11.519
Rock and Stones and Age Institute. I'm like, why would

414
00:22:11.519 --> 00:22:15.000
anybody send me that? But my social work falls under

415
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:19.279
that same umbrella, right alongside anthropology to study of bones.

416
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:22.839
So I thought, I was like, oh, this kind of

417
00:22:23.759 --> 00:22:26.519
fighting me coming to Washington to intern there. So I

418
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:28.240
was honored by and I thanked them for it, but

419
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:29.880
I'm like, why did they? And then I look back

420
00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:33.920
under my degree falls under that Also the school a

421
00:22:33.960 --> 00:22:39.000
master's degree is loan as a dead ended degree. And

422
00:22:39.039 --> 00:22:42.200
when my h I was teaching on the college level,

423
00:22:42.559 --> 00:22:45.119
my boss came and said, you know, we're a's an

424
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:49.160
end It's considered an ending u end all degree. And

425
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:51.480
I said, why is that? Because at that time you

426
00:22:51.559 --> 00:22:54.240
can only get a master's. You couldn't get a doctorate

427
00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:57.559
or a PhD in social work. Now that door open,

428
00:22:57.599 --> 00:23:00.480
what you can't get a doctorate because there's schools twenty

429
00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:04.400
three schools that applied to get a doctorate in social work.

430
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:07.799
They have the classes, people have completed the coursework, but

431
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:10.839
they will not the powers that be will not sanctioned

432
00:23:11.200 --> 00:23:15.920
that as a solid on a five degree, you know,

433
00:23:16.039 --> 00:23:17.839
so I don't we don't know why, but they're still

434
00:23:17.880 --> 00:23:19.319
on the hold dead end. It's a good or bad

435
00:23:19.319 --> 00:23:21.599
thing in that case. Well, you know, it depends on

436
00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.559
how you look at On my side as a social worker,

437
00:23:26.079 --> 00:23:27.960
you know, I got my master's. I did look at

438
00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:31.960
the doctorate program and I said, I just like I

439
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:33.680
didn't need to be licensed, I don't need to have

440
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:35.880
a doctor. People call me doctor Gray to this day

441
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:38.759
still and they're not even they were never people who

442
00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:41.519
I taught, you know, but it's just out of respect.

443
00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.079
And I appreciate that. But and I thought maybe that

444
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.200
would make me different, but it doesn't change my knowledge base.

445
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:52.839
I spend a whole session today my new my amputee

446
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:56.720
group talking about you know, grants and writing them and

447
00:23:56.759 --> 00:23:59.400
stuff like that. And I took their mission statement and

448
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.559
their goal and objectives and time we found about seven

449
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:05.400
streams of grants that they could you know, apply for

450
00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:07.599
and I thank God. I got off the call and

451
00:24:07.640 --> 00:24:09.480
I had tears in my eyes because I was like wow,

452
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:13.000
and they asked me to pray before we started the meeting.

453
00:24:13.400 --> 00:24:16.279
I didn't see that coming, you know. So you know,

454
00:24:16.799 --> 00:24:23.799
I've just been overwhelmed this weekend into today into today justification,

455
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:28.599
being justified and being honored, you know, because of my

456
00:24:28.720 --> 00:24:32.680
knowledge and because of my experience. So it's gonna be funny.

457
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:34.519
I'm gonna go be taking a look at some property

458
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:40.559
that was once dedicated for senior senior content, and all

459
00:24:40.599 --> 00:24:42.440
of a sudden, the lord's bringing me back to when

460
00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:45.759
I had my assistant living facility. And you know, I know,

461
00:24:45.799 --> 00:24:48.039
the owner's trying to say, well, I put all this

462
00:24:48.119 --> 00:24:49.960
money into it, this is why he's got this price.

463
00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:52.160
I'm like, no, you had to make a cold. You

464
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:55.279
had to make an eighty eight cold, and that's some money,

465
00:24:55.519 --> 00:24:58.480
you know, from the light into the disciable everything. I'm

466
00:24:58.480 --> 00:25:00.599
gonna go there. But anyway, so I thank God for

467
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.960
information and to my little kiddo's that's listening, if they're

468
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:08.240
still there. Education is powerful. It depends on what you

469
00:25:08.359 --> 00:25:10.839
make it to be. It'll get you where you needed

470
00:25:10.880 --> 00:25:13.400
to go. It'll get you the information that you need

471
00:25:13.839 --> 00:25:17.200
and it will open some doors sometimes. But take, you know,

472
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:20.160
take you know, take advantage of everything you can. I

473
00:25:20.200 --> 00:25:23.359
did not. I didn't like math. Ended up having to

474
00:25:23.400 --> 00:25:29.240
take statistics to get my undergrad degree in psychology. And

475
00:25:29.359 --> 00:25:32.640
it was I failed statistics in the eight weeks. I

476
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:35.079
failed it and it was my and they brought in

477
00:25:35.160 --> 00:25:38.480
a professor from Germany for six weeks, and I would

478
00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:40.200
He didn't have an office or nothing. He would eat

479
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:41.839
his lunch out of his car. I would meet him

480
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:45.000
at the car with one problem that took three pages,

481
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:47.279
and he could always go back and say, see right,

482
00:25:47.279 --> 00:25:49.240
here's where you've been. But he gave me a c

483
00:25:49.920 --> 00:25:52.599
he said, because I've never seen anybody with that type

484
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:54.759
of determination. Do you have to go to a grant

485
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:56.960
writer to apply for a grant? Or it's a grant

486
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.279
writer the one with the money to give? No, no, no.

487
00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:02.799
Grant writers help you to write the grant, help you

488
00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:06.759
to submit to and respond to a grant that's out there.

489
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:09.680
What was the other one? And so you need a

490
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:13.400
grant writer normally, as I offered today, I will edit

491
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:15.039
it and I'll take a look at it. But I'm

492
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.480
a grant reviewer now because I offered that opportunity years

493
00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:20.720
ago and I thought it was a good deal, but

494
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:23.720
people didn't, you know, they just couldn't see paying money

495
00:26:23.799 --> 00:26:26.960
up front or whatever. So you know, I've just been

496
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.240
blessed because I was taught how to write a grant

497
00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:32.759
from an agency that recruited me because of my social

498
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:36.000
work in my case, man my mental health background. Trey,

499
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:36.480
you want to.

500
00:26:36.400 --> 00:26:39.079
Say something, and I was just gonna throw it out

501
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:42.440
to people that that would be a good course, you know,

502
00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:46.000
get a certification and grant writing because people are looking

503
00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:48.359
for funding, especially with the cuts going on, and I

504
00:26:48.400 --> 00:26:52.640
don't think you have to have a certain education level

505
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:57.240
for that. Just after I have undid it, and so

506
00:26:57.319 --> 00:26:59.640
there's things out there that you can go for it.

507
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:02.319
But it can be very from what I learned at

508
00:27:02.319 --> 00:27:05.079
c see, it could be very time consuming.

509
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:07.880
You have to have the time and the patients.

510
00:27:07.680 --> 00:27:10.920
And to make sure that the wording fits your mission,

511
00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:14.680
the grant fits something that you can get your.

512
00:27:16.279 --> 00:27:16.799
That can do.

513
00:27:17.160 --> 00:27:20.319
And so when you're making your mission statement, I would

514
00:27:20.359 --> 00:27:23.440
suggest looking at some grants or trying to find out

515
00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:25.720
what types of grants out there so you will know

516
00:27:25.799 --> 00:27:26.640
how to word it.

517
00:27:27.039 --> 00:27:31.119
What's in your commit in your community exactly.

518
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:32.960
And so when people are you have to kind of

519
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:34.599
think outside of the box and just a little bit

520
00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:37.240
of nuggets too. So if you're working with I'm just

521
00:27:37.240 --> 00:27:40.000
saying for with school AIDS children, you can do a

522
00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:42.160
whole lot with school AIDS children.

523
00:27:42.200 --> 00:27:43.680
But you where are grant.

524
00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:46.400
There are clearing houses you can you can there are

525
00:27:46.440 --> 00:27:50.680
several clearing houses what I call clearinghouses agencies organizations actually

526
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.519
that offer they do the research for you. They put

527
00:27:53.559 --> 00:27:56.279
it on their website and you have to join their website.

528
00:27:56.319 --> 00:27:59.160
Sometimes there's a monetary membership feed type of thing so

529
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:02.839
that you can have access to those to what's what's

530
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.319
being funded out there. But no, you you can write

531
00:28:06.319 --> 00:28:08.599
a grant. I mean, if you have the patience, like

532
00:28:08.759 --> 00:28:12.000
Trey said, and the time you've got to do your research.

533
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:13.960
You got to make sure a lot of programs, a

534
00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:17.680
lot of organizations try to fit the grant into what

535
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:20.160
they're doing. And that's not the that's not the that's

536
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:23.240
not the reality of a grant. A grant is saying

537
00:28:23.319 --> 00:28:27.160
the funder is saying we need services in this pocket

538
00:28:27.279 --> 00:28:30.079
of the town, this pocket of Orlando, not all central

539
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:34.559
Florida because that's other counties. But we need funding. We

540
00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:38.480
need an after school pit care program that goes that

541
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:42.039
stays open till seven pm, not close at five or

542
00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:45.319
six because now people are working all kinds of shifts,

543
00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:47.599
all kinds of hours. So we need something that's going

544
00:28:47.680 --> 00:28:53.279
to stay open till seven pm, provide a light light snack,

545
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.839
and do all academic help the students with their education,

546
00:28:56.920 --> 00:29:00.000
with their homework, and do some so you know, so

547
00:29:00.160 --> 00:29:02.960
the tutorial assistance as well. But we only needed for

548
00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:06.599
a papka, which is a part of Orange County, not

549
00:29:06.799 --> 00:29:11.680
Seminole County, not Brevard County, but Orange County. One particular

550
00:29:11.759 --> 00:29:17.160
area is a popka. Okay, and google, yeah, google it, Yeah,

551
00:29:17.200 --> 00:29:20.680
google what you're looking for, right.

552
00:29:20.559 --> 00:29:23.680
And you'd be surprised that it's some organizations, uh, you know,

553
00:29:23.839 --> 00:29:25.759
stores and.

554
00:29:26.119 --> 00:29:28.680
Restaurants, and some of them might have grants.

555
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:32.000
I know when I was working in Florida, we utilize

556
00:29:32.039 --> 00:29:34.559
I think lows might have grants.

557
00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:38.440
You know, it depends on what has beautiful community.

558
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:41.720
So go out look at that places like and I

559
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:46.079
don't know McDonald's, but but think outside of the to

560
00:29:46.200 --> 00:29:49.680
do as one and right, so you have to you

561
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:52.359
have to kind of look and see what's out there.

562
00:29:52.480 --> 00:29:58.119
Your your your your municipalities, your paternal organizations, sororities. Look

563
00:29:58.200 --> 00:30:01.279
and if you google it kind of see this is

564
00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:02.240
what it says.

565
00:30:02.640 --> 00:30:05.319
In the grand you might and it might not be astronomical.

566
00:30:05.599 --> 00:30:08.039
It could be fifty dollars, hundred dollars or whatever, or

567
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:13.000
you know, a potdation hit, but it will help so

568
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:16.119
and the two does not pay for us service. I

569
00:30:16.160 --> 00:30:19.359
don't think it's not like start like capital or something

570
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:19.720
like that.

571
00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:22.599
Those those they do have some capacity building, but they're

572
00:30:22.599 --> 00:30:24.720
not gonna help you buy a building. They'll help you

573
00:30:24.759 --> 00:30:27.839
pay the building, yeah, but they won't buy the building.

574
00:30:27.920 --> 00:30:30.400
You have to you have to rent that out or whatever.

575
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.519
And they'll assist with some of the utilities and things

576
00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:36.480
like that. You could put that in there. So, but

577
00:30:37.400 --> 00:30:39.960
going back to social work, the field of social work,

578
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:42.920
I hadn't heard about it. I've told you the story

579
00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:45.759
about that. I was majoring in psychology, but I knew

580
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:48.720
that after my fourth year either I had to go

581
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.279
get a PhD in psych or change my major, change

582
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.200
my focus. And then a former classmate from high school

583
00:30:55.359 --> 00:30:57.480
who was four years older than me, she was already

584
00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:59.640
going to a local college. I found out about the

585
00:30:59.680 --> 00:31:01.799
local college got accepted. It was one of the three

586
00:31:01.799 --> 00:31:07.559
colleges I got accepted in, and they happened to I

587
00:31:07.599 --> 00:31:10.160
went in for more of my psychology. That's why I

588
00:31:10.160 --> 00:31:12.720
got my psych degree. And then I heard about the

589
00:31:12.759 --> 00:31:16.440
School of Social Work and it made sense. Here I

590
00:31:16.519 --> 00:31:20.160
am studying the mind under psychology and social work is

591
00:31:20.200 --> 00:31:26.839
social welfare, social policy, laws and rules. And it ranged

592
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.359
from children to elderly, so from birth to death, you know,

593
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:32.559
and you could choose. And my focus was the elderly

594
00:31:32.960 --> 00:31:36.400
and mental health. So it's an array of things. I

595
00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:39.319
love it. I am so proud. There are two things

596
00:31:39.319 --> 00:31:41.680
I just told somebody recently. Two things I will die.

597
00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:45.119
When I die, i'll be known for is being a

598
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:48.279
minister and being a social worker. A child of God

599
00:31:48.440 --> 00:31:51.119
and being a social worker. I'm proud of it. It's

600
00:31:51.119 --> 00:31:53.799
so much you can do with the degree. Like I

601
00:31:53.880 --> 00:31:56.359
was telling you earlier, I had an assistant living facility

602
00:31:56.599 --> 00:31:59.759
and that's for my case management days. But now those

603
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:03.680
terms are called case management. There's case care management and

604
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:06.480
more of your health fields, not your mental health or

605
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:11.039
your substance abuse fields. They name them different, but the

606
00:32:11.079 --> 00:32:13.279
degrees are the same. You got to have you know,

607
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:16.079
you're undergrady. You have to have your master's degree. And

608
00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:18.000
it may come to a point if they ever get

609
00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:21.279
one of the doctoral doctoral and social work a doctorate

610
00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:24.359
degree in social work versus a PhD, If they ever

611
00:32:24.960 --> 00:32:28.319
go ahead and allow that to happen, then you'll you'll

612
00:32:28.319 --> 00:32:30.200
probably have to go ahead and get your doctorate degree.

613
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:32.079
But I think right now the world it doesn't matter,

614
00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:34.599
and I don't I don't even know what matters anymore.

615
00:32:34.599 --> 00:32:36.319
I'm not trying to apply for a job, so I

616
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:38.680
don't even know what matters anymore. Do they still want

617
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:41.279
your resume? Do they still want two references? Do they

618
00:32:41.559 --> 00:32:44.279
still count your experience? You know, I don't know what

619
00:32:44.319 --> 00:32:46.960
they're doing now, because I've known pilots who were fired

620
00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:49.519
from the airline and they sitting in the same job

621
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:52.240
interview as you are, so you know, I've heard those stories.

622
00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:57.079
So I don't know. But social work is a special

623
00:32:57.119 --> 00:33:00.200
type of person. I have met two people that have

624
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:02.519
their master's degrees in social work, and I don't know

625
00:33:02.559 --> 00:33:05.000
how they passed orientation. I don't know how they were

626
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:07.880
accepted in the schools because of their attitude their personalities,

627
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:09.920
and I think they're both no longer with us. But

628
00:33:10.440 --> 00:33:14.319
I don't know how they passed orientation, which is that

629
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:18.279
one on one interview with the school staff and stuff.

630
00:33:18.839 --> 00:33:20.880
I don't know, because they were the meanest people I've

631
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:25.079
ever met. And try to think of, you know, care management,

632
00:33:25.119 --> 00:33:29.799
case management as a business, you can't. You can't. It's

633
00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:34.799
about social it's but emotional. It's about socioeconomic. It's about money.

634
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:38.160
It's about people view of money. It's no, it's about

635
00:33:38.359 --> 00:33:41.519
you know, generational curses, it's about the DNA, it's about

636
00:33:41.799 --> 00:33:44.599
all that stuff tied in. You can't make that a business.

637
00:33:44.720 --> 00:33:47.519
They've tried it through the pharmaceutical of course, but you

638
00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:50.440
can't make that a business, you know. And as I've

639
00:33:50.440 --> 00:33:53.440
shared before, when I was in the hospital, that was

640
00:33:53.480 --> 00:33:55.960
the best thing I was able to do, was to

641
00:33:56.000 --> 00:33:59.599
advocate for myself and the powers that be, like, what

642
00:33:59.599 --> 00:34:00.920
can we do for you? I said, I need a

643
00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:03.839
social worker. They said, no, we have discharge planners. I

644
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:06.440
was once a discharge planner. I was like, no, I

645
00:34:06.440 --> 00:34:08.760
need somebody with a master's degree in social work, not

646
00:34:08.840 --> 00:34:11.000
a bachelor's. I need a master's so they'll know what

647
00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:13.119
I'm talking about because y'all don't even know I'm a

648
00:34:13.159 --> 00:34:16.000
social worker. And they're like, oh, and sure enough, when

649
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:19.079
they transferred me to downtown to the bigger hospital, a

650
00:34:19.079 --> 00:34:22.119
social worker came in my room, introduced herself and from

651
00:34:22.159 --> 00:34:23.639
there and I still have a phone number every now

652
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:24.920
and then. I want you know, when I wrote my

653
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:27.079
last book, I sent her a copy of it and

654
00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:29.119
she all she could say was mss Gray, you just

655
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:32.800
you just I She said, thank you for letting me

656
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:33.199
see this.

657
00:34:33.719 --> 00:34:33.920
You know.

658
00:34:34.360 --> 00:34:36.719
So that's social work. And you can look up the

659
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:40.320
history of social work. It started out in humble beginnings.

660
00:34:40.320 --> 00:34:43.440
It started out like in a charitable situation. But people

661
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:45.440
were looking around and said, these people need some help.

662
00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:47.519
We don't know where we're gonna get it from, but

663
00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:49.800
we let's try to come together. Let's try to pull

664
00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:52.519
some let's get resources. And that's one thing we're known

665
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:54.800
to do. We're gonna look and see what's out there

666
00:34:54.840 --> 00:34:57.639
in the in the community. But if we give us not,

667
00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:00.199
if we got the opportunity and we you know, we

668
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:03.440
don't have to be caged up to do it, we

669
00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:05.519
will find a resource out there. I remember back in

670
00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:07.679
the day, now trade I think you were here. You

671
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:09.559
were in Palm Beach at the time where we could

672
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:13.480
actually we had an agency where we could have UH

673
00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:17.320
caregivers recruit neighbors as caregivers, and it got paid to

674
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:19.880
do it. It was a little small stipend, but at

675
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:21.960
least we were able to pull that together and that

676
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:24.199
you know, I went to churches and I said, I

677
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:26.440
just need you got you got three elderly people living

678
00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:28.320
in your community. I don't know if they're part of

679
00:35:28.360 --> 00:35:30.920
your church or not. I need some I need five volunteers.

680
00:35:31.400 --> 00:35:33.320
And they're like, okay, what do you want us to do?

681
00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:36.480
And actually we get since it got them signed up

682
00:35:36.480 --> 00:35:39.320
for a stipend, you know, for the time, so we're

683
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:42.920
you know, even in my grant writing years, I'm always

684
00:35:42.960 --> 00:35:45.079
looking at and when people are like, oh, I want

685
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:47.280
to start a business and I need a grant. What

686
00:35:47.599 --> 00:35:50.159
do you need a grant for? Well, you know, no, no, no,

687
00:35:50.079 --> 00:35:52.480
I don't What do you need it for? Well, I

688
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:55.599
have a salon, a beauty salon, and I want to No, no, no,

689
00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:58.400
you got to go to the city and bid for service,

690
00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:01.960
you know, or get a bank loan. That's not that's

691
00:36:01.960 --> 00:36:05.719
not a nonprofit status. That's that's for profit, because you're

692
00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:08.480
paying to get a service done, you know. And and

693
00:36:08.480 --> 00:36:11.679
and some people be very disappointed. And because I'm going

694
00:36:11.719 --> 00:36:13.559
to ask you, what do you want to do? Who's

695
00:36:13.599 --> 00:36:16.639
your age who's your target population, who's your age range?

696
00:36:16.840 --> 00:36:20.920
You know, And you need to be a nonprofit. You

697
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:23.159
need to have the five oh one C three status

698
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:26.440
to apply for grants or be affiliated with somebody. I've

699
00:36:26.480 --> 00:36:29.280
I've actually had a small business as attached to me.

700
00:36:30.119 --> 00:36:33.119
They're doing their thing, but I brought them under my umbrella,

701
00:36:33.239 --> 00:36:37.199
under my nonprofit because I do have that feature. That's

702
00:36:37.239 --> 00:36:39.400
one of my goals. Oh, I wanted to like portray

703
00:36:40.599 --> 00:36:43.559
and and my nonprofit is it can spread, It can

704
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:46.039
go to the Islands, it can go to Canada, it

705
00:36:46.119 --> 00:36:51.119
can it's nationwide. And like trade is offering UH solutions

706
00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:54.440
and really going into the heart of community, into certain

707
00:36:54.480 --> 00:36:58.480
neighborhoods and targeting the elderly. And this is what they need.

708
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:00.360
But we need it, you know. So I I write

709
00:37:00.400 --> 00:37:02.840
a grant, I find a grant that can cover that,

710
00:37:03.199 --> 00:37:05.320
and I can say that we could be in various

711
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:08.039
locations and I, you know, send money to her for

712
00:37:08.079 --> 00:37:10.360
her budget whatever it is for her salary and what

713
00:37:10.440 --> 00:37:13.599
her needs are and supplies and equipment and all that done.

714
00:37:13.719 --> 00:37:17.280
I'm in I'm in Virginia, you know, so you know

715
00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:19.079
you can do those types of things, but you have

716
00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:21.639
to be a you know, a nonprofit and have a

717
00:37:21.679 --> 00:37:24.559
five h one three C tax exempt status to do that.

718
00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:28.519
Social workers, I've taken it. I think the Lord has

719
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:31.280
blessed me to take it. I've gone through the ceiling.

720
00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:34.880
I've come from the boots on the ground case management

721
00:37:34.960 --> 00:37:39.480
to owning my own assistant living facility, to becoming an actor,

722
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:44.000
an author and a grant writer, of being able to

723
00:37:44.039 --> 00:37:48.159
be an entrepreneur. Uh have my own LLC that type

724
00:37:48.199 --> 00:37:50.599
of thing, you know. So I've you know, I've gone

725
00:37:50.599 --> 00:37:55.760
beyond just a typical social worker expectation. Are the age

726
00:37:55.800 --> 00:37:57.639
limits to going to school for certain fields? Can a

727
00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:00.760
person be too old for any lineup? No, miss Vickey,

728
00:38:03.679 --> 00:38:04.280
trust me.

729
00:38:04.559 --> 00:38:09.119
I've met so many older individuals within my classes. It's

730
00:38:09.159 --> 00:38:11.679
never too late, and they're the coolest people, even though

731
00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:14.119
they kind of you know, they don't know all the things.

732
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:15.920
But you know, that's what we're there for, the help.

733
00:38:16.119 --> 00:38:20.239
It's right to lean in, you know, you know what

734
00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:24.440
I'm saying yeah, yeah, Chris put that dand technologies because

735
00:38:24.599 --> 00:38:28.840
within my school they stress using AI and a lot

736
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:31.880
of like especially in the business field and business majors,

737
00:38:31.880 --> 00:38:35.000
we have to deal with a lot of making proposals

738
00:38:35.880 --> 00:38:38.320
selling to people. That's all we do, Like most of

739
00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:41.599
my presentations is about selling a product we create. We

740
00:38:41.840 --> 00:38:44.719
get like a company, and we create our own product

741
00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:46.039
to sell to a certain company.

742
00:38:46.119 --> 00:38:49.039
We choose that company, and that's what we work towards.

743
00:38:49.079 --> 00:38:52.119
And I also want to elaborate as well as what

744
00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:55.400
my mom was saying earlier as far as like the

745
00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:56.920
importance of having a degree.

746
00:38:57.280 --> 00:38:58.760
It's important to have agreed.

747
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:00.199
A degree, don't get me wrong, but you don't don't

748
00:39:00.239 --> 00:39:04.119
have to have one if you get certificates, like certifications

749
00:39:04.159 --> 00:39:04.800
and stuff like that.

750
00:39:04.800 --> 00:39:06.679
That's so important nowadays.

751
00:39:06.679 --> 00:39:09.400
I kid you not like compared to a person who

752
00:39:09.480 --> 00:39:12.639
has a degree and a person who gets a cert like,

753
00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:16.480
you're like right here to us, right, So therefore you

754
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:18.480
could get you a solid job as long as you

755
00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:20.920
have those soft skills and stuff like that. But those

756
00:39:20.960 --> 00:39:23.840
CERTs will really get you a job. Like honestly, I've

757
00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:26.960
seen people get jobs with like certifications like within you know,

758
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:29.639
business and stuff like Linsic Sigma, which is like process

759
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:32.519
improvements and stuff like I've just got my certification in that,

760
00:39:33.159 --> 00:39:36.519
so that was so I didn't have to take the exam, y'all.

761
00:39:36.719 --> 00:39:39.800
Yeah, we take the easy way out, but yes.

762
00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:42.199
My professors do that to where we could like comp

763
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:45.559
out an exam to get a certificate certification in something

764
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:46.000
or whatever.

765
00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:47.599
But that's process improvement. A lot of.

766
00:39:47.719 --> 00:39:50.760
Businesses are looking for that, like they need somebody to

767
00:39:51.320 --> 00:39:56.920
improve that workplace, improve their organization of how other feels

768
00:39:56.920 --> 00:39:59.519
like within like how you say it, like the advertising

769
00:39:59.559 --> 00:40:01.519
within the bring like those who work on the marketing

770
00:40:01.519 --> 00:40:03.719
and the finance people like to ensure that we're all

771
00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:07.119
working on like we're communicating with each other and you know,

772
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:10.800
remaining being on one a court basically. So that's what

773
00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:14.480
that certificate helps with. But we use like critical thinking

774
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:17.440
heavy on it. But getting those basics and stuff like that,

775
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:20.440
it will honestly help you if especially if you want

776
00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:22.480
a high paying job, because that's what people look for,

777
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:24.239
like as long as you have like the like you

778
00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:26.599
don't even have to necessarily have the experience, but when

779
00:40:26.599 --> 00:40:28.440
they know, like they hear you have a certificate or

780
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:31.840
certification within that thing they're like, okay, well then you

781
00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:34.679
know a boom and of course you're going to pitch

782
00:40:34.719 --> 00:40:37.039
to them like, oh what I could do, you know,

783
00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:39.679
researching that business because a lot of when you mentioned

784
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:42.920
as far as hiring and how they're hiring now, like

785
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:45.840
you need the resumes, they don't. I mean, of course

786
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:47.440
they don't care about your grades in school. They don't

787
00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:49.559
care about your GPA at all. As long as you're

788
00:40:49.559 --> 00:40:52.360
a people person, you're willing to learn, you may have

789
00:40:52.400 --> 00:40:55.400
some searts under you and stuff like that, you're hired

790
00:40:55.679 --> 00:40:56.159
because that's what.

791
00:40:56.159 --> 00:40:58.000
They're looking for and stuff like that.

792
00:40:58.039 --> 00:41:01.039
People who can improve the problem within the workplace and

793
00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:05.199
everything like that. Very basic for what it's major, but

794
00:41:05.280 --> 00:41:09.559
these are like important skills to have basically, especially.

795
00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:12.039
What you do two things that one dimension. In the

796
00:41:12.039 --> 00:41:15.960
hair care business, it was always okay, you need to

797
00:41:16.000 --> 00:41:18.239
go and get your degree, you know, get your certification

798
00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:22.960
and cosmotology or barbering or anesthetics and it's you know,

799
00:41:23.360 --> 00:41:28.559
aesthetics rather okay, but now you can there are certifications

800
00:41:28.599 --> 00:41:31.119
in hair braiding. We know a couple of people who

801
00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:32.199
do good to know, thank.

802
00:41:32.079 --> 00:41:35.440
You, And depending on your state, it's depending on the state.

803
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:36.679
Thank you why you no.

804
00:41:36.599 --> 00:41:39.159
Longer need to have a brading's license or a cert

805
00:41:39.639 --> 00:41:44.039
but again it is important to probably get that license

806
00:41:44.119 --> 00:41:46.639
because people can report you, especially if you're doing hair

807
00:41:46.679 --> 00:41:48.719
outside like in your home and stuff like that. Like

808
00:41:48.760 --> 00:41:51.440
all that stuff is actually like not good. But you know,

809
00:41:52.079 --> 00:41:53.159
don't keep that on the level.

810
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:55.400
I have a.

811
00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:59.039
Certification, but they have branches. You can get certified as

812
00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:02.280
a hair braider. Yeah, certain people do that.

813
00:42:02.440 --> 00:42:05.639
You know, some things carry more weight than others though,

814
00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:10.400
so with that now that carries no weight, but yeah,

815
00:42:10.400 --> 00:42:14.119
it doesn't carry no way. It's either not like some

816
00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:18.280
people of our course licensed, right, some people are not licensed,

817
00:42:18.679 --> 00:42:21.159
and yes they continue to be successful within their line

818
00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:23.519
of work. But it doesn't really matter at this point

819
00:42:23.559 --> 00:42:27.199
because either way both are successful within without a license.

820
00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:32.519
But you want that license for security purposes.

821
00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:37.239
Yeah, protection, yeah, I think, because I think too with

822
00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:41.000
with some licenseres when you go through cosmetology school or

823
00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:47.079
learning that, it's also recognizing different conditions, am I right?

824
00:42:47.159 --> 00:42:51.119
Missca If somebody's got certain scouts and these certain treatments

825
00:42:51.119 --> 00:42:57.639
and stuff, yes, what services you can't take? Yeah right, right, right,

826
00:42:57.800 --> 00:43:00.079
so you know that that's what you look at. But

827
00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:02.639
as far as like the education piece too. And I

828
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:04.280
just want to say this on a social work or

829
00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:07.079
anytime you want to get in the field that you're

830
00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:11.559
providing a health service or an empowerment or engagement like

831
00:43:11.599 --> 00:43:14.440
social work, you want to make sure first of all

832
00:43:14.760 --> 00:43:19.039
that you like people, because that makes a difference. Don't

833
00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:21.159
go in there saying I just want to help people.

834
00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:24.400
But when you saying help, you have to really think

835
00:43:24.440 --> 00:43:28.960
about that. It could entail and it could entail people

836
00:43:29.079 --> 00:43:33.320
who are combative to services, people who are angry, people

837
00:43:33.400 --> 00:43:38.119
who have mental health issues, people who are struggling, people who.

838
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:38.880
Don't look like you.

839
00:43:39.480 --> 00:43:43.920
And you have to kind of separate your biases from

840
00:43:43.960 --> 00:43:46.119
the person that you're helping, because you don't know who

841
00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:48.079
you're going to be trying to help, and if you're

842
00:43:48.079 --> 00:43:51.119
walking in with your own biases, you're not going to

843
00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:51.800
be effective.

844
00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:53.440
You're not going to be effective.

845
00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:55.960
But it becomes a tug of war because you have

846
00:43:56.079 --> 00:43:59.239
this ideal of who you're working with and that might

847
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:01.559
not even be the and then the people that you think,

848
00:44:01.599 --> 00:44:04.320
oh this is then that might not be the case either.

849
00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:07.719
But make sure that you like people, and really, when

850
00:44:07.760 --> 00:44:10.400
I say help, you really have to have the patience

851
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:12.159
because you don't want to ever be in a position

852
00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:15.800
of people trying to determine who's the help and who's

853
00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:18.639
the help, who's you know what I mean.

854
00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:24.960
That's yeah, that's definitely very important. I will say to

855
00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:29.000
you know again, like people to a certain extent, but

856
00:44:29.079 --> 00:44:31.599
don't get rand over either because that's a big thing.

857
00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:34.199
You know, people will run over you too nice whatever

858
00:44:34.239 --> 00:44:38.480
the case may be. Professionalism definitely plays a role. And

859
00:44:39.280 --> 00:44:42.760
I'm gonna say this, you know, just just don't get

860
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:43.960
rand over in the process.

861
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:46.679
You can be respect people, granted.

862
00:44:46.760 --> 00:44:50.760
Right, you can state your opinion with being respectful, you

863
00:44:50.800 --> 00:44:52.639
know what I'm saying, because people take it there. Don't

864
00:44:52.960 --> 00:44:56.199
leap down or whatever whoever you're speaking to, you know

865
00:44:56.239 --> 00:44:58.280
what I'm saying, don't get to their level because once

866
00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:00.280
you got that load, ain't you know, pulling nobody back there.

867
00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:04.199
But that's very important within each of these lines of

868
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:05.960
works and stuff like that, because you're dealing with a

869
00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:08.559
lot of people, especially with the business world, social work world,

870
00:45:08.679 --> 00:45:11.320
You're dealing with a lot of people a league. And

871
00:45:11.320 --> 00:45:13.280
that's why they said to you know, be professional. You

872
00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:14.599
got to have that professional you know.

873
00:45:15.159 --> 00:45:20.599
Mhm. What the school that from the school to get

874
00:45:20.679 --> 00:45:23.239
their minor in sociology, so they at least they'll learned

875
00:45:23.239 --> 00:45:25.039
how to deal with people. So if you're going to

876
00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:28.199
college and you may cover, you need to get your

877
00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:30.079
minor in sociology.

878
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:31.280
Because you got sociology.

879
00:45:31.320 --> 00:45:31.639
Guys.

880
00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:35.679
She didn't do psychology, and I was just like I

881
00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:36.920
learned in psychology.

882
00:45:37.119 --> 00:45:39.079
She lived in a house of sociology.

883
00:45:39.199 --> 00:45:41.519
Oh yeah, the stories.

884
00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:44.119
She's come to my office and she knows the stories

885
00:45:44.119 --> 00:45:46.920
and she's watched people like, oh my god, you know.

886
00:45:47.800 --> 00:45:53.320
How honestly respect your position as far as you know,

887
00:45:53.519 --> 00:45:57.079
being a therapist and that route, because I could not

888
00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:00.719
sit up there and listen to like the stories I've

889
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:01.159
listened to.

890
00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:03.039
It's just like, why are you even in here?

891
00:46:03.480 --> 00:46:06.079
Either you got to answer for everything although you're wrong,

892
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:12.039
or the fact that you're like you know that down

893
00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:15.239
within the confidence way to where you let everybody run

894
00:46:15.280 --> 00:46:18.400
over you, you let things just slide and stuff like that.

895
00:46:18.400 --> 00:46:23.159
That patience I commend my mother for because ye.

896
00:46:23.239 --> 00:46:25.800
Know, I got to get in the right mindset, like

897
00:46:26.119 --> 00:46:28.679
right right, you have to be able to back and back,

898
00:46:29.280 --> 00:46:31.639
especially with dealing with the Department of Correction and Probation.

899
00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:33.639
We're get being ready to get off here, but dealing

900
00:46:33.639 --> 00:46:35.280
with that, most of the clients will come in there.

901
00:46:35.880 --> 00:46:37.440
I just want to tell you I'm not an alcoholic,

902
00:46:37.480 --> 00:46:39.360
and I'm like, can I have your name? Can I

903
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:41.639
