Man I started growing a liking for music when I was like nine years old. Who introduced it to you? Oh my brother man if anybody from love you know my brother man you can't really mention Jaylis. Jaylis the walking metaphor. Jaylis you can't you can't you know. So he did music as well. Oh yeah he's a local legend he just didn't he well he's actually coming back into it right now but you know he's the best kept secret that was his alias for so long still is. So how much older is he than you? Seven years. Oh he's way older. You would think he was me though if you've seen him. Y'all look so much alike. Yeah we look like twins. Wow that's dope. For real. How do your mama feel about it? She's still around me? Yeah my mother's still around man she she she she she'll believe it when she sees it. Okay she old school you know what I'm saying.  Of course that's any mother though you know but she like she she she ain't gonna ask no more questions when I get at that mansion you know what I'm saying. That's gonna be different. Yeah yeah yeah. That's always everybody's dream to you know. Gotta get a mama a house. Gotta get daddy a truck and get mama a house. A house man. I like that daddy a truck and mama a house. I like that. Mama get a house. Mama get a house. Man so you know when did you first feel like okay I got something in music? Shoot this is something that's funny but like it was when I started turning them turning hip-hop songs into into R&B songs man. Wow. Look look check it out. I was in I was at Foster Middle School Southside Longview, Texas and TI might have been in sixth, seventh grade. TI had just dropped it. Lean with it. Rock with it. Can you possibly make that into an R&B song man? It's like you can't make that into a R&B song. So I'm walking around Foster like Lean with it. Rock with it. Lean with it. Lean with it. Lean with it. Rock with it. Sing Lean with it. Rock with it. I'm like okay cool. I got my own version to this now. I'm like okay I'm different.  Just doing something outside the box. That's dope. And that's what made you that's what made you pursue that different singing but different alley than everybody jumping up and saying I want to rap. I want to rap like this person. I want to rap like that person because you are so unique in yourself and I love the way how you captivated that. You know what I mean? Because not everybody can because sometimes you can sit down. Everybody wants to be different but not everybody have it in them to be different because it has to come to you and you have to learn how to grasp it because I remember seeing Rihanna and when Rihanna first came out and some things that she would wear and how she would act and people like is that cute? And then after a while of wearing it so much everybody's like oh that's nice. You know it's just you have to grasp people's attention with being different but after a while people get used to you and they accept it. You got to keep on being that's the way I did it though. Like I was kind of thinking of that area like first it stands out you know what I'm saying? Why do you do that? Why is he doing like that cool and then think about it though. Skinny jeans for instance.  You got a skinny jeans man. That's girl. You know what I'm saying? Then now you got everybody wears. Some of the OG's. I'm locking out. I think because you can't find nothing else. Being in the fashion world and being in it, we see that they everybody just trend toward what's trending and try to make sure they stay relevant.  You don't realize it because it seems so just becoming because you're just looking but it's something to it when you see the fruit and it was good. Like you see like he seen them fruit and it was good and she ate it. It's about what goes in your eyes. So you got to be careful what you put your eyes on if you don't if it's negative be careful. You know what I mean? Because it's staying your brain. It's like be careful the company you keep because you're looking at them. You know what? But now man you are very dope. Is there anyone else in your family who is brother? No even your brother because we don't know him yet. Who has that unique? Honestly, y'all just ain't seen that my son is like I don't know where I don't even got into my boy man but like he's he's a year and some change. Oh that's the jam. That's the jam. My son named Jam. He's a one of one. And he's one year old? He's a year and some change and like he's already singing. Wow. He don't even know how to talk yet but he'll walk around the house. Really? Hold on now. He can carry the tune. And he'll repeat. He heard music. He's gonna start doing this. He gonna do this. You gotta start them young. But other than my boy though you know my whole family does it. Really? I grew up in a church man. So that's what it was. What was that gospel song that you sang in church? Come on give it to him. Give me a little bit of it. It was like come along my friend come along get a boy and ride this train it is nothing on this train to lose everything come along my friend my friend welcome along get a boy. Boy you talent is an album man. I love your boy. He don't. Let me tell you. I love R&B. She love more and preach it. Yeah man. You're so talented bro thank you. When you come in you know because why you never just started out in R&B in the first place starting out? Because I was I think I think what the biggest difference between R&B and which it's been changed over time but with R&B and what I started which was hip hop is just lyricism you know you can't really I've never really seen but like I said it's evolved over the past decade or so but I was always really I graduated like in the top 10% of my class. I was always really vocal I was I like to use words I was I could write put a lot of words off in one bar and you write everything that you do yeah I write everything and I was really lyrical and I didn't think that I could say what get my point across with slow notes and stuff like that until I found myself I found my sound to where I could actually say as much as I want to say and sound like me not sound like nobody else but I didn't start with R&B because I didn't want to hold the tune I wanted to get a point across. Yeah see I love when people when people are very multi-talented like that where they can rap and then they throw in some R&B they don't have to go get somebody to play that part but they themselves can do that it just made me just feel like oh my god they're so oh wow you know what I mean it gives some jazz because R&B is cool but when you put that mixture into it that's why people go get features with somebody who can spice it up and make it different but when you can do all of that yourself that's amazing. I love I love the way that that you're gifted man it's so it's so it's a blessing to be in an honor you wanted those 10 that Trell talk no Peel talk was talking about you wanted those 10 out of East Texas that update you come and you don't think you don't know you don't know what you're about to get yourself into you wanted those 10 and I'm telling you right now you don't want to play with East Texas and the talent that it has you know Houston got talent Dallas got talent but East Texas definitely has talent we definitely we were yeah you you're something else man and I definitely um I mean like I said I'm from there that's why this this platform have shown mad love East Texas ever since I started you go on that rabbit hole you're gonna be like man he on there he on there because I made it a point that I wanted to see Texas just like PMC I saw Texas like UGK I want everybody to come together for Texas man and I'm not just saying it yeah I'm from here and and I love the fact of being from here but but at the end of the day I just feel like there has to be a togetherness for you and Texas is a big state man and and so I just want to see us come together I want to make great music together I want to see I want to see East Texas collab with Dallas I want to see Dallas collab with Houston I want to see it all come together man and it's kind of happening like there because sure a lot of people from East Texas are moving to Dallas and then it's moving in Houston I'm moving to Houston yeah and it's changing that music scene so um and I think really propane broke that barrier really yeah as far as like yeah it's kind of jumping out the gate yeah so salute the propane man out what about T. Jones he locked up right now free my guy man yeah it was propane then T. Jones and then of course we got well I think poodle was originally from Houston right yeah but then he came out of East Texas or whatever but yeah those guys are definitely putting off for the region in in more ways than one so I think and I also feel like Houston ain't the only big city that can unify man and I think I think East Texas could do it as well I think like I said I don't I guess you unify as one but I don't even like that as much as I like the fact that everybody should be able to work together we're so busy going and getting other people out of other states yeah when you got so much talent in Texas man yeah you know you got a lot of talent here brother I mean and then you hadn't seen I might have to put my own budget up to put a Dallas and a and a and a Houston and a East Texas artist on the same song because it hadn't really been done when you do the coffee yeah you know what I'm saying because that's that's what I want I want to see Texas come together shout out PMC because that's the kind of talk he was talking about and then everybody I think in that song they should put something about unity in that song showing that you know what I mean working together yeah music with music with a purpose man like a lot of these songs now are usually about the same thing you know like I don't want to collaborate with with three different icons from from three different big-ass cities and we're gonna make another song about uh money clothes sex cars yeah I don't want to talk about that I want to talk about something with some substance and put a little bit of flavor back into the music industry because it's really watered down yeah we always talk about that we always talk about well I personally love to talk about it the fact that these mics are very powerful being a musician is very powerful because people listen to kids adults everybody listen to you and they could be in a bad mood and because of what you're saying they could change or the tune to be I mean it turns them in a happy spirit you know what I mean right on so why not use that power to to to do some good yeah you know what to give a message that means something exactly mm-hmm I just like the fact man um just just like I said when I when I listened that your music and I started to look back at what you done you are ready to me the stuff that I ran into showed you to me to be a crossover automatically like that's something that you've probably been hearing a lot yeah they were telling me that up before I didn't know what it was yeah you know what it was like you you basically and it's a it's a it's a thing that's it's beautiful because it's going to transcend culture that's what's so beautiful about it it's going to be able to touch people in every walk of life that's what it means to cross over you able to touch people and with what you just said about the positivity about having substance we know that you're you're going to permeate their ears with something that can take them somewhere yeah and that's important because we don't have that a lot anymore like we used to a lot of times we've backed off from giving substance and talked about money cars clothes hoes yeah you know I'm saying beating down the block you know I'm talking about and I and I love that music too because I say sex sales and really in when you look at the social media and look at how people chase cloud and negativity and that's what everybody draft to I mean they have the most amount of comments and the most amount of likes and yeah just people arguing and that's what people go off of because they want to get somewhere so to say yeah I think basically they basically have a little sex and and I think it's I think one of the reasons why I think I know for a fact I can put this shit back into the music industry but I think it's more of a focal point on the haves rather than the have not so people start talking more about the position or the perspective of the have not you know what I'm saying and the music will come take a completely different turn you know I know this I've watched it because I see I studied this this music from people decades before the year I was born like I would listen to so Elvis Presley's stories and his music and I would listen to Ray Charles and look up his biographies and stuff like that just to just to see what the great what which one of these niggas felt the way that I feel and how I can relate this to generations of two three generations after the after theirs or their existence you know what I'm saying because their music is trans I mean people can still play that right now exactly have a great time exactly man I can press him up expressly make a make a make a hit record just listening to Elvis Presley already that's what I think every musician strive to have that record or records that the next five generations can still play yeah even after they're dead and gone and still can relate still know who they are I mean like I think that's one of the goals so so when you when you look at family what what does family mean to you um well I mean you this is who's who you start with and who you finish with regardless well it's blood it could sometimes it ain't even just blood though it's like uh when I see family man it's somebody that I'll never I never turn my back on I never neglect I never question it's a it's a different love it's an unconditional love you know or with family some things I would do for a I wouldn't do for a friend that I would do for a family member you know what I'm saying that's a that's really see you that's what you was talking about yesterday we was on the phone with with true talk man talking about asked them hard questions man how are you gonna ask me that right that's a you can't be vague with that question yeah that's fine you answer how we want to answer everything and answers from your heart yeah exactly you know because we want to portray the true you have been asked that before yeah yeah I think I think it's it's important I mean because you got you got kids and and and that's that's more important if everything else fails that's the only thing left standing exactly you and God and your family yeah exactly so that that that's a question that I mean hey man you know it's very important yeah it is not talked about as much no no and that's what makes I think one that's the difference between good good and great yeah right exactly when you're able to tap into understanding self-awareness like you spoke of earlier but understanding how to put it in a way to where people can hear what you sing about and change hear what you rap about and change whatever you do decide to do because you're multiple you're multi you know type artist you could do whatever and I know that you know what I mean and that's that's dope so you'll be able to touch somebody and help somebody's family man you know I like Kanye man I ain't gonna lie to you I'm a big Kanye fan because of the fact of I know he stands for family I know he loved God his first song Jesus you know the one that popped early on he always was the same Kanye now he's just a billionaire Kanye yeah you know what I'm saying but but he always been dope bro very dope icon man shout out to Jada Kiss that went off last night man I had to post that thing man he already know man try to tell us this for two long time when he's like why to say the hottest shit but he's selling the least man they get it man I feel my wife uh when I met him man it was just it was she didn't know what I was so excited about you know I'm like this kiss of death you know I'm like yeah I'm here and everybody from French Montana and all of them was there but the main thing Jewel Santana was there too that everybody was there but man Jada Kiss man come on man Big even knew it you know it if you know music bro you know what I'm saying he he the one you the one man like out of New York I don't care you gonna pick J I'm gonna pick Jada whoo that's heavy right there yeah yeah yeah because I know you're gonna bring it that's deep too yeah that's deep but it like sometimes like people that they done looked over Jada Kiss for two now long I think uh I think now's a perfect time for him to come out because she he was talking that talk that I'm trying to talk now way back then when the music game was first getting corrupt you know what I'm saying and now he finally stepping back out like New York here's your yeah and I'm telling you like people would say Jay Z lyrically uh now I'm not talking about business but you have you know you'll have a better argument with me about some from somebody from the south using Jada Kiss than you would a Jay Z because I know that nigga baby I'm just telling you I know music I love music and that's why we're on the pictures together that's why because I cut for this dude like that's why as soon as I seen it I knew I'm like it's a problem even though he in the locks I know that niggas hey he gonna change the game if he get that mic did you watch first did you watch it oh yeah I watched I watched some of it man I didn't watch I didn't get to finish the entire thing but I got some of it I just know that every time you write every time he touched a mic it's like he been holding this hand for forever bro and I know he had him bro yeah I feel like that nigga deserve everything coming his way right now they just trying to eat him up with social media I'm ready to see what record he's gonna yeah he gonna break something behind this that's what I'm excited about too so I'm looking forward to it man man as soon as I hit my boy up man Junebug uh from clout I know uh New York this this morning he hit me right back when I posted that Jada me and I posted I was like nigga y'all don't even don't play with this one yeah you know man shout out to them boys out there I got a lot of love for certain ones that I deal with that I know you know what I'm saying that I've always been down for me you know what I mean and and that's the real uh so let's get back to you I know you um seem very in tune with who you are and you say you like to do your research you know where you want to go and so forth um do you write down your goals as in where you want to go where you see yourself um the thing is like I I really think it's weird because I I could write them down but it's like I got goals that are based on longevity like I don't really do the short term goals though too well um I've always been like shoot well I speaking to Kanye West he uh one of his lyrics was like reach for the stars so if you fall you land on the cloud so I'm already planning what I want to be doing in like 2024 right now and I gotta I focus more on my bucket list than on my on my monthly or weekly agenda but even with that um one thing I always think about if even if you're reaching for the stars you need to know what steps you need to take to get to the stars so that's what I'm looking at is okay so I know you want to make a change in the music industry what do you plan to do stepwise to make that change see I I really do believe in um taking I feel like I can open a bunch of uh gateways through my music so that's just the that's just the that's just step one for me is to like you know say take over the music industry and my goal with that with music is to potentially change the world of course I don't want to change the game I want to change the world and like uh through that like I wanted me and her talk about it all the time like to to uh helping the homeless people because I've went through that I spent a lot of time trying to catch up in life so do you are homeless once I've been through it I've been through it more than once man like just not wanting to not wanting to feeling too good to ever go back and and and ask to start all over yeah yeah I would rather just uh face it you know what I'm saying and it's like and there were times don't get me wrong there were times where I didn't have to be right that's most people there were I was it's pride forced to okay in times where I was forced to like okay um the drugs play part in it uh you know say well if it's weeds a drug you know what I'm saying it's just weed yeah tell her she's your makeup she's not gonna say I wouldn't I ain't been no I'm not gonna say yeah yeah I wasn't no dope dealer or no shit like that I had my I took my part in the streets and stuff like there but it didn't take me long to notice that that it wasn't that's just not me I know how to hustle but I'm not a hustler you feel me right that's what what it was for me but then on top of that though man uh I've been pushing this music thing for a long time and you know I said that's late lights early mornings and that that really don't fly everywhere when you just trying to when you when you trying to build a life by by living under somebody else's rules and stuff like that you're trying to create a way of your own so um but back to what you were saying though about like um without what exactly I want to do with music and whatnot so I just want to take this and that investments of course like Bitcoin uh the actually this is Pablo talking that I'm actually okay representing right now it's like a new it's a new cryptocurrency there and it's right now it's under under a penny so so if this shit goes big you could be talking to a potential billionaire let's just I'm gonna cut some of our fingers you know what I'm saying but I really do believe in it or whatever but yeah man I just want to and I'm not even done studying how the world is changing like when the the more the world changes the more I'm gonna want to use my music to affect this or affect that I'm dabbing at this and dabbing at this so so when you when you when you uh so you say you was locked up for a little bit yeah yeah how long did you say locked up um it was periodically man I spent like four straight years in and out of jail the longest time I ever did was like six months bro okay and um yeah it was just was it in Texas yeah it was in Texas okay yeah did you ever go out of Texas no I don't know always Texas yeah I didn't I don't really it was I got told you I spent a lot of time playing catch up down here yeah uh when I started traveling and just in 2020 I seen I seen um 30 37 state 37 38 states in 2020 alone wow and I never and that's during a pandemic yeah exactly and I didn't catch covid did nothing so thank god thank god wow listen but so how did how did blue hearts come along how did how did that happen uh blue hearts was was actually um a part of me in my new distribution deal with uh Jerry Wonder and and and his music and and Wycliffe of course we um they had a plan for me from seeing Bloody Mary with with really Millie and uh Antoine visuals and they saw that and they they they could feel the same thing you felt like you know it don't take a no it don't take a genius I mean how did they contact you um I have an attorney man uh he's actually a sports agent okay now Joaquin man he uh he's he's been on the CNN for years and and um he's actually from Texas uh uh like uh towards uh eastern and Lakeport area okay and um he he's seen me when Bloody Mary started going viral uh back in 2019 2020 and asked me that I need an attorney and and he knew some people who he felt like he could introduce me to and um I met a guy named Quasia Sarah through him who's been in the United Nations oh my god he used to be a PDT's assistant okay um he's just big names I met a lot of muggles in a short amount of time uh he knew Biggie personally and um and uh he introduced me to Jerry Wonder and when Jerry Wonder heard the music uh from that was on on YouTube at the time uh like it was of course it was Solid 2 Summer Nights uh Bloody Mary um Camp Somewhere those records were on YouTube and he saw me and he he loved every last one of them and he said he he asked me a few questions about my life and where my direction was and he said it didn't take him long to know that he could work with me and so and I got that goes for anybody you know because you have a humble spirit and so yeah I love your spirit I love your spirit I feel like that's the way speaking of Blue Hearts that's the way we came in with that uh shout out to Benny Wonder he's um uh uh he's he's amazing man he was actually an air wonder where I'm back where Benny Wonder was the producer slash writer on this record and he gave me an idea about um uh like drowning out your sorrows with alcohol based on a on a relationship and I like that's actually something I've been through in my life before you know I'm saying like alcohol played a big part in a lot of things I went through and relationship wise like hell I would turn to the bottle I'll turn to the bottle to to to take away from the pain of like not having exactly what I wanted in a woman or something like that and and yeah so we me and me and Benny and Jerry we we collided on that record and made a freaking hit man yeah it's dope yeah what about who is that coca coca coca of course yes I was getting to her she's uh in my eyes she's the upcoming queen of bk you know I'm saying she's out of Brooklyn yeah she's out of Brooklyn and uh it's wild because before how did you meet her that's what I'm saying it's wild before but before I ever met coca I was just going down uh jerry them pages and and all of their friends and stuff and I noticed her but I never knew she was signed to jerry wonder okay and so I was liking the music and I showed her one day and I was like hey man uh this chick right here man she don't sound like these new girls just coming out rapping man she ain't saying nothing about nobody boyfriend she ain't talking about no left front no heels no pussy no nothing she ain't saying nothing like that she on some straight up from the streets I'm getting it this is me nice to meet you fuck you if you don't like me shit and talking about the world and everything the same time and um the man picked up on it yeah I picked up on it then next thing you know I'm sitting next to her at Jerry's house in Jersey you know I'm saying and he came out and we just out talked to what we wanted to collab on that record that was a breakout record for me and shit yeah I wouldn't have picked another female to been on it anyway so when can we go here because you had something you wanted to ask no I was okay this one is gonna because what I wanted to ask you all already touched on that yeah but um what I wanted to ask how many in being in Texas how many and you're a humble spirit but how many people actually look on you and judge you because of how you look man that's so many so many so many but like a lot of my music I've been really focusing on more giving the kids something to dance to giving them something to to you know say how good that you ain't got to block out every word and stuff like that a lot of the music that I put out now if you buy my album and they may not all be just rated G but um I've been doing that for the kids and it's like uh it's like um they look at me as when a kid sees me and they walk I mean they just stare at me like this and I'll be like but I like it I like it because I know that it's inspiring them to be who they want to be you know they love to think outside the box yeah man I didn't ask to I didn't ask no actually my hairstyle was on accident rock so really yeah how did that how did that happen okay so I first got dreads when I was in Cali oh she's smiling over there when you said that I first got dreads while I was in Cali man I wanted to go dreads and you know and when I did it I just wanted to put them off in ponytails one day and I accidentally left one tied up for too long and then when I took it off all of them had just combined and I was like okay well okay I'll just do it with this one too then I just and then the next thing I know I was just trying it with them and see if it worked through what I love and I was like oh they're getting wicks and stuff but then I just tied my hair up and it happened like this but you know what I'm saying I like it but it become a style now because a lot of people are wearing their dreads like that exactly and it's so crazy that's why I know they got a whole way to do it now I'm like damn I didn't even know that when I was doing this you know and I was just taking a shower and not taking my fucking hair bands the next thing I know it was an old style let me ask you a little bit more about the music so so you guys done great work together you and Trillie so I mean how hard was it adjusting to working with others after you had worked with him man to be honest with you I still haven't adjusted to it yet yeah me and Millie got me and see I know him by Millie you know what I'm saying I know him by Trillie my bro wasn't Trillie Millie or something I mean there hasn't been a lot of different things still my nigga though you know what I'm saying yeah but like I just like that because you work with him so long yeah yeah and so it was like me and him got a chemistry we had a rapport like I said like I told uh I told Trill talk it was it was a whole lot more sort of a brother thing with me and him rather than a other than a business partner thing so but like trying to find another brother in the music industry may be hard you know I'm saying finding that that chemistry that rapport in the music industry that may be hard but so I mean I have found other guys that can that can adapt to music the same way they have the ear for music that Trillie does but yeah you know I'm saying just having that same chemistry with somebody else is almost irreplaceable you know yeah the reason I asked is because I know you you had to do this last the song you know with somebody else and why not be why Cliff right yeah why Cliff is one of the when I seen him on that video I say it's over man like you know because he he bring that whole feel like it's a wrap like I don't know who did who this dude uh Ios but uh I can tell you right now it's a problem yeah and why Cliff picked a good song you know I'm saying yeah I was like I was I was still like how did it happen how did he get on that why what made him just get on that song okay and that's actually the meeting him for the first time okay you know like now see that that was actually the first time that why Cliff and Jerry wonder uh have ever come to collaborate on a video you know I'm saying on the music video so I felt I was a part of history wow with those guys and it like until this day it's still surreal to me and um and um like it happened because you know Jerry wanted a bugger basement and all of that from the Fuji's Jerry wonder was the player he was the reason why the Fuji's like you know and why Cliff and prize and yeah and then Lauren Lauren they were all one for so long 25 years into the game and that's that's that's that's that's moguls that's legendary and so it wasn't nothing but a phone call for Jerry to say hey I got this guy right here and they had me on three or one day and why Cliff was like he get on there and he was like yo what up camp and I'm like what up wow that's dope he was like he was like he was like what's up I was like yeah but what up man he was like I need to be on the drug you on that's what's up I was like boy he was like bro your music is crazy man I'm out for you bro your music is crazy man and and then ever since then it was like and how long ago was that um that was around oh man I talked to Cliff by like September of uh last year yeah yeah wow it took us a while man to get to here yeah it took us a while to get a video dropped and a lot of that stuff but it came about man I think it took like nine months actually to get it done because we had winter storms coming through we quickly got messed up a lot of stuff was he in the studio with you and all that with the studio with me but he was on set with me and with the with the guitars and shit like that and just I still remember like it was yesterday standing in the middle of him and Jerry Wanda uh on the on the stage and shit like that it was wow man that's it there's a feeling that you can't really explain wow so like standing next to greatness like that yeah there's like that I feel like I

either but yeah like uh we had we had a we had a we had a blast out there bro yeah we we kicked it at the at Jerry's house and we've actually filmed most of the scenes with me and Clef we filmed those in Jerry's basement okay and then we talked the whole basement into a into a dance floor so yeah it was fucking lovely bro yeah I'm gonna tell you something man that's that's history man that's yeah that's culture man that's everything that anybody in the music industry would want man we're talking about some icons we're talking about listen man Beyonce will tell you the same thing that's what you know you done done some spectacular when Beyonce would agree with you you know I'm really trying to understand that whole level you know what I'm saying like she would agree with you that this is something that's great you know and I know she would because of the simple fact of the road that she came down in order to get to be who she is you know what I'm saying this is dope man like you should be proud of yourself bro if you don't do nothing as I always say if I don't sell another stitch if you don't sing another song you know you've done something that really a lot of people would never do in their lives so you should be thanking God for that bro and I can't wait to see the work that's about to come out because I know you're gonna go hard because you're the future exactly

a lot of his recent stuff number two um number two uh this is going as long as kind of like it's gonna kind of any genre too any genre well sure i gotta give the michael jackson then wow that's because yeah yeah when you say any money might yeah when you say we had a guy on this from long view said that chris brown was better than michael jackson oh and what sound like the ld okay what i'm

that's the hardest part to feel bro but but uh i'm gonna say i'm gonna say it would be a tie bro no i don't do ties all right i gotta give it to nars then nars yeah man i like that man i like that i'm a nars oh man man hey etha let's make your soul burn slow niggas stop playing niggas say boss talk in this song too i know you got it from us so don't play niggas i came out boss talking and you said it and i heard it the last time you was on the mic niggas now but i love i love nars and and like i said man i jay as a business man you gotta give it up to him but when it when it when it come down to music my top three i'm going with pimp see every time yeah that's just me cause i'm a southern boy that came from this man and i it was a different time we didn't have the internet like you guys do when i came up we had a cassette tape and a record a 45 you know i'm talking about all yeah we we we didn't have we couldn't get around like everybody else but that tell me something good came on and it was something different yeah you know what i'm saying yeah it hit different yeah exactly i'm i love your voice so much that i want it i want you to give me a little bit more oh you want to say something you love messing with me i love what you want to hear i might sing with him let's go uh i got i got a bunch of different stuff i've been working on um let's give me something uh uh let me see let me see let me see if you can make me cry i'm not this much you ain't gonna cry you ain't gonna do no crying today i never thought i see the day a nigga heart got colder not a chance i'm taking to protect my soldiers i heard your boy was telling like i talked i told y'all pull a nigga card and call it texas on them how you gonna try not to check on it fuck around put a check on it how you gonna try not to check on nigga put some respect on it i'm gonna be messing with mr. rally and i love the way you just go in man yeah yeah yeah see like i had i was wanting to do a record one time but i know it would be real controversial as far as as far as religion goes but uh but it's like it was like using a song about a female with uh the way i was saying it you know i'm saying it's like kind of basing it off of a prayer or whatever it's so like don't ever feel like you can't it's your words because the same thing when you said that the first thing came to my mind was ray child because those guys came into a situation where their music and their sound was challenging the ways that things were naturally done and he still did it and he did well with it and it caused r and b to come on the scene see see that's what i've been saying i gotta hit y'all with a slip of it because it's called christian girl right so it goes like this it goes like uh then hitting my weed oh she blow the gospel and then blow me she anywhere we're like anytime but anytime is the perfect time her mama teaching her daddy preach her sister sing all the church's rounds we hit it off when i said a prayer this mr church and she liked it the holy bread gotta in my bed she'll write your cheek but this girl is bad i never thought to know christian girl throw it back oh no y'all no listen man you know you say well you know uh it's a prayer and and then it's a it's a prayer but then it's a song that's mixed with r and b and then you know but it's a it's some stuff about this but what you're expressing is is really life yeah it really is life it's really truth like like this is the things that's happening yeah it's not like you just i mean yeah you're you're articulating it in a way to where it comes to fruition but at the end of the day this is what's happening yeah now as people evolve and go through things and change and transform into different parts of being a better human being uh this is a part of evolution exactly so so i don't see why someone would be offended by if they wouldn't judge people because at the end of the day when you start judging you're gonna find fault not only in everyone else but yourself also exactly you see what i'm saying so these are these are times where you're seeing a person evolve and you're trying to articulate how they evolve and and the only one does that is antagonist which is the devil oh yeah oh yeah i'm like but you see people look at stuff like that and say because you know how they always had a good stuff for the bad so some people will take it personally like well i'm a christian girl i'm a i'm a preacher's daughter i'm a this and i did good but i don't do that that's right you know what i mean so that's why they always said a good stuff for the bad because they're looking at it like no yeah i don't do that but then it was a time when you went through something and you do do something yeah right so so yeah yeah but you just don't do that right but you do something you do so you see what i'm saying yeah now now let's move on because you doing whatever you were just singing about but you're doing something and that's why the problem lies with people that gets too religious and self-righteous because they start putting heavy weights on people that they can't even carry exactly and that's a problem that is you see what i'm saying so we can't we can't get caught up in that we have to evolve as a as a as a human race yeah all of us together and and while one is hurting we don't get so judgmental that we excommunicate them or cancel them out while god is working with them agree so that's the that's the biggest problem i see with religion is that so many people become self-righteous to a to a fault oh yeah to a point where they just basically blocking everybody out and saying we going and they not all 144,000 of us you see what i'm saying so we got to get off of that because that's not that's not that's that's not real we got to try to meet people where they at and love people until they come out of their situation because we might have been there already and we already came out don't look down on somebody just because they're coming through let me get off of it man because i go in that's what i do man now it's just real talk you know what i'm saying it's just real real talk man real boss talk so what when boss talk come to mind right yeah what what do you think of when you when you heard the name boss talk what was your first i was thinking it like basically kind of like what we're doing right now like i think it like a round table you know i'm saying some wine and some bosses that's speaking on something that could change that they circumstances and somebody else best though yeah and that's what we use our platform for because each and every one of us go through situations and we're not the only ones who go through these situations so with it being on youtube apple spotify on every streaming platform you don't know who's listening listening that going through the same situation and for the main fact that you overcame certain things and they hear it they're like okay because some people don't get over certain situations certain people decide to take their lives over a certain situation when others move on and excel yeah if they at that time have heard somebody going through what they're going through they might not have chosen to do that you know what i mean so we use our platform to help people really exactly man this is i really appreciate we we seen uh ckp he left here from doing his first interview to going on g with a genius you know and and going from four million uh youtube views to ten ten million you know um we seen that you know what i mean

This study investigates the response characteristics of a soil rock mixture under repeated freeze thaw action and its influence on the safety and stability of a dump slope in low-temperature environments. The paper carried out indoor freeze thaw cycles, uniaxial compression, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy tests on a soil rock mixture taken from a graphite mine dump in Zhixi city, Heilongjiang province, China. The results showed that as the number of freeze thaw cycles increases, the mesopores inside the soil rock mixture gradually increase and the uniaxial compressive strength and peak secant modulus increase exponentially with the increase in the number of freeze thaw cycles. The failure mode was mainly tensile cracks followed by tensile shear cracks and the fewest compression shear cracks. The similarity and uniaxial compressive strength conformed to a good linear relationship with the number of freeze thaw cycles.

Hey everybody, this is Brett and today I'm going to show you how to get your third row seats down in your wagon here If they do not have power because I was just trying to do it on this particular vehicle and I couldn't figure it out I thought maybe Because there's no power buttons here. There's no power buttons there I thought maybe you pull this strap and it releases it and nothing happens and I'm like where? How do you get these down? Well, I found out that there is a strap and it might be hidden under the floor mat So you just pull that and that's how you get those down Yep, this one was under there too Pull that down and then you can pull them back up Really nice and easy Well, I hope that helped you and saved you a lot of headaches and remember to like subscribe and share on the YouTube channel I really appreciate it. Thanks again


Let's face it the conversation when it comes to the dating marketplace can be very convoluted especially when this Conversation is centered around sex and I'm talking about the differences between men and women and how we view sex and also how we can Equate sex to respect so I want to lean into a conversation today based on a question that came in and Then I'd like to discuss it and then we'll go on to Q&A So one of my one of my audience members I say audience members, but someone wrote Jonathan I have a question or a comment about an observation. I've enjoyed learning from watching your video series of videos I agree women are the gatekeepers of sex and men are the gatekeepers of commitment however, I've noticed that there doesn't seem to be any emphasis on encouraging men to take Responsibility for the curtailing of the casual sex culture that is part of life these days It appears as though the attitude is boys will be boys So what I think she's addressing is there's a lot of Conversations out there in the dating marketplace suggesting that women have sex with men far too easily Especially if they've had sex with multiple men and because of this men don't have respect for women And therefore they won't choose women who are promiscuous. They call it body count by the way Now a lot of this is for the younger demographics and at the same time this can hold true for men as well I've spoken to men who say that they've had sex with a woman on the first date and they didn't respect that woman But where is the accountability as this woman is sharing about men? Where's the male accountability? Is it okay for men to be able to to sleep with women and there's no There's no recourse or repercussion for that. There's no judgment around that and and aren't they contributing to the problem when they encourage physical intimacy at an early stage in the dating marketplace now As you might have heard I said that I this is something I heard is that men or women are the gatekeepers of sex and men Are the gatekeepers of commitment? Well, it's kind of fascinating to me these days that we have sex Well before there's any significant commitment between two people In fact, a lot of times sex can happen before there's any agreement of monogamy or any agreement to exclusivity In fact, I've witnessed so many women be in a relationship with someone where they're physically intimate with them And yet they don't know where this relationship stands Some men will say i'm taking it slow. Some men will say let's not put labels on it Well, if you're going to judge women as being promiscuous and you disrespect them for that Then shouldn't you stand up and say what you stand for in a relationship? What do you stand for in your life? See, I think men have to be accountable for this as well if this narrative is going to throw women under the bus And and certainly i'm again I'm not here to judge when someone has sex or how many partners someone has But the same time I think it's a slippery slope when you judge that behavior When these men are the contributing factors to this behavior So I want us to think about this for a second Men are the gatekeepers of commitment. Isn't it fascinating that it used to be If you wanted to get laid you had to get married That was a narrative that went on for thousands and thousands and thousands of years. That's my speculation I don't know that as a fact, but that's what I infer from a lot of the historical records, if you will Television no, i'm just getting movies and such but But when you think about it, there was a commitment made by a man these days Two people can become physically intimate with each other They can enjoy some occasional companionship occasional sex occasional connection without any real Purpose associated with this See, I want you to understand something dating is a vetting process to decide if you want to explore a relationship with someone Dating is the getting to know you period Okay to develop a sense of intimacy to develop a sense of trust with someone now to me physical intimacy is a rather You know precious act if you will That's right. It's precious Because we can become emotionally attached. Well, I should say women tend to get more emotionally attached physically more so than men Men biologically speaking they can spread their seed and not get as attached to someone as a woman can Also, you know what occurs to me speaking of intimacy. We talked about physical intimacy. I'm talking about sex But what about the act of kissing? You know, it's interesting. Did you ever see the movie pretty woman with julia roberts and richard gear?  I want to take care of you Whether you're living together or getting married. That's a declaration to say, you know what? I want to take care of you and it doesn't mean, you know Even in the bad times it means in the good times too, but more importantly Yes in the tough times if you're going through A challenging physical condition Or you need some support In your life and you're there to support one another and it should be a two lane street for both people It isn't singular to a man nurturing a man and a man not Nurturing a woman and yet for a man. It's typically associated with taking care of someone is financially And so think about this we can get physically intimate with someone But to really reach that level of full commitment Is I want to take care of you How many people are experiencing years and years and years of relationship without ever knowing Does this person want to take care of me? Do we want to take care of each other? See isn't it interesting that we don't put that as on the forefront And so in doing all the things necessary to determine is this person worthy of taking care of And vice versa knowing that this person will be there through you thick and thin See at least with the marriage contract there's a consequence associated with stopping taking care of with stopping taking care of someone Discontinuing taking care of someone there might be a financial recourse Now we can just have empty words To say I care about you only to disengage from a person because there is no level of commitment And then I want you to think about this We just said that kissing and sex is a very intimate act and you bond with another human being through these experiences There's no consequence for ghosting. There's no consequence for disappearing. There's no consequence for pulling away See we are a self-indulgent Indulgent society here in the United States. It's all about my needs my needs my needs See true character is putting the other person's needs at least on par with your own needs Think about that. That's true character in a relationship That's truly building trust as you say to another person your needs matter to me your best interests are my best interest And yet to dating today is a very self-serving experience for both men and women alike Listen, I once had a woman say All right, I listened to a dating coach that said If a man doesn't pay for your valet when you go out to dinner with him don't ever see him again He doesn't pay the valet First off if he treated for dinner, that's a very generous act See we've boiled down generous acts as to expectations and god forbid he doesn't pay for the valet We should dismiss this person You know, you might be dismissing a person that will actually be there for you because just because someone has money And is willing to pay for your time doesn't necessarily mean that they'll be there for you When things are tough I'm really tired of this dating rhetoric today It's actually pitting men and women against each other And it's unhealthy and worse It's dangerous because these narratives get bled or they're seeping into our consciousness To the point where both men and women are rather jaded Towards the opposite sex and it's making making it very difficult to actually surrender So and I mean by surrender surrender in the in the getting to know you phase of someone to really determine If they're a healthy person to be with But then we've got another issue to contend with The vast majority of people particularly in midlife are wound They have childhood wounds and traumas and adult traumas That make them rather emotionally dysfunctional emotionally constipated Or worse, they're incapable of actually ever committing to someone This is why I created my private coaching program By the way, there's a link right here to schedule a discovery call with me to see if working with a coach is right for you There's links below what I mean to say is I help you devise Cultivate the questions Based on your personality You need to ask someone to truly evaluate if they're a good fit for you because many human beings have terrible discernment and worse All of your discernment is based on a lot of superficial things. How tall is he? How good looking is he? How much money does he have? Oh, yeah, that's the indicator of relationship success And worse believing that chemistry equals relationship success and even worse on that Is many ladies and men and by the way everything i'm saying goes for both genders But so many human beings have codependent um, not codependent personalities, but codependent inflict or What's the word i'm looking for codependent? Behavior, let's just say that cause you to get attached to another human being in the minute you're attached It's like a drug you need this person and yet they're so terrible for you see What's what's missing in today's dating narrative is an understanding that human beings are rather dysfunctional rather messed up And they want love Both men and women want love men aren't bad people to those You know, I started this conversation by saying men are bad Or at least need to be accountable, but men aren't bad women aren't bad We're just a dysfunctional group of bodies out there trying to experience love with another human being And yet we don't know how to do it because we don't know how to love ourselves. This is why I listen I wrote a book called what the heck is self love anyway a journey of personal development self-help and spiritual work And why i'm sharing this with you by the way, my book is basic It's like planting a seed But you see when you plant and it's only giving you the basics See you have to go find out what it really means to you to love yourself By the way, there's a link below to get a copy of my book and jonathan recommend books When you begin to nurture your own soul, you're less resistant. You are excuse me. You're more resistant to attracting Damaged human beings or let me not say damage but unhealed human beings that are going to cause havoc in your life In your emotional life Do you realize the number one emotional health issue facing most everybody is i'm not good enough i'm not lovable and i'm not likable And dating and relationships trigger this like nobody's business So i want to invite you all to begin a path of personal development self-help and spiritual work As a as a vaccination To the chaos we're facing with to we're faced with today See Then don't lose respect for women because they've slept with a lot of people That's not a valid reason to lose respect for someone What's more important is to assess who is this person that i'm connecting with Is it only a physical relationship? Is it all based on chemistry? Or do does character matter does morals matter? Does kindness generosity matter? And today we have a very self-serving population That is using one another in the dating realm and how can respect anybody who uses people And how can you respect yourself if you allow yourself to be used? These are all questions to invite now first off folks. I am no i'm not here to preach as if I am Evolved. Okay. I am riddled with flaws. I I am I stick my foot my mouth frequently I have found myself in many a situation Where I could have done better I think the most important thing is we own our humanity and to recognize that Everybody is doing the best they can doesn't make them bad people I often say most got most men are good guys. They're just bad daters That's true for women as well so Why did I share all this with you? Because it's time for a wake-up call for both men and women alike first and foremost We are not at odds with one another. We both want to we both genders want to feel loved The tricky part is how do we find someone who's capable of love? And more importantly Are we willing to invest in our own self-love? Because whether we find a mate or not what matters most is our own individual journey And how can we wrap ourselves in a blanket of love and what I mean to say is Not beat ourselves up not sabotage relationships not not crucify ourselves Because the true miracle in life is to love How does the truest miracle all is when we can love ourselves and love others equally? And maybe just maybe we find a good partner to take this ride on together because life is better with company At the same time it's finding that partner who's willing to Hold hands with you through thick and thin and say I want to take care of you. We're teammates And so when you say I love you to each other it means i'm here You matter We are important I've got your back I'm not going anywhere. And I only want you. I'm here means I'm present You matter is Is your you matter as much as I matter on this planet? We are important is to recognize that a relationship is a separate entity I've got your back. That means we're teammates in this relationship. I'm not going anywhere means I'm fully committed And I only want you means I only want to be physically intimate with you I don't need to get the next hit On instagram to feel validation because I have it all within this great partner. I have right now. I love you That's what I think it should mean so I'm going to end on this note and we'll take questions Folks, it's not easy out there It takes work It takes intentionality I oftentimes remind you all radical honesty laying your cards on the table and pre-qualifying your prospects And if you need help with that once again, check out a free discovery call with me to see if working with a coach is right for you All right. I hope you have found value in what I had to share. Please hit that like button Please share this video with your friends. Please subscribe to my channel hit that notification button All right. I'm going to take questions right now if you have a question for me There's a little chat box for those that are on live Um, write the word question then post the question there after or you can purchase the super sticker super chat It's the little dollar sign in the chat box all the monies from the super sticker super chat Goes to a scholarship fund in the name of my son Conor Asley. That's a picture of him right there in the obeys shirt In his honor, I donate to causes like the Hoffman process process insight institute and seeds of love Okay, so let's see what we have in the form of questions. Oh, and if you're watching the replay, please hit the super thanks Thanks so much Hey, I want to give props to margaret for the three dollar and ninety nine cents super sticker.    Are we capable of being satisfied? You know, sadly, so many men are so addicted to pornography that they can't even be satisfied by a woman anymore Or very difficult to be satisfied. Yeah, these are all great questions to ask But at the end of the day, yes, men can feel a sense of Sensitivity or shame centered around their size. So thanks so much for bringing that up. I appreciate it Oh margaret goes on to ask what do you think about men pressuring women for sex? First off, I don't think any woman deserves to be pressured into anything that they don't want to do Now I have an acronym around sex and that means cares C a r e s cares the c stands for don't have sex with someone unless you feel comfortable So if they're pressuring you You know You shouldn't have sex with someone you don't feel comfortable the a stands for aware Be aware of the consequences and what I mean to say is Having sex with someone you barely know means you can get attached to them And you better be aware of that Some women can be less attached to others through physical intimacy But for the most part If you have a propensity to be attached, I would be highly concerned about that the r stands for learn his real intentions his real intentions Does he want something serious or is it something casual? I'm here to suggest don't get physically intimate with someone who isn't on the same page with you with respects to commitment Because the e stands for exclusivity if you're going to have regular sex with someone I believe it should be exclusive because the s stands for safety And because I don't want to catch cooties from anyone I think everyone needs to be safe or catch cooties or or impregnate someone I think we must be as safe as possible when we have sex care c a r e s comfortable aware real intentions exclusivity and safety Hope that helps margaret. Thanks so much for that question uh Jennifer says no sex before monogamy unless you don't care. That's exactly what I just said Nicole writes My long-distance relationship ex-boyfriend. He couldn't give me a plan after 22 months together When I asked him for a plan he replied I will always love you and your children, but he still wants to be friends Um You don't have a question there nicole, but I will say this I wouldn't have engaged in a long-distance dating dynamic Or until you had a plan Don't engage folks. Hear me out. Don't engage in a long-distance dating dynamic Unless you have a plan of how to take the distance from long to short And what I mean to say is hold out being physically intimate with someone until you've had deep discussions And then I wouldn't overly now the problem with many of you doing long distance You see you see each other once every once a month Once every two months once every six months. That's not a relationship That's just an over glorified friend with benefits in my opinion Unless you're regularly if you unless you're engaged in social activities hobbies mutual interest spending time with family and friends It's going to be difficult to build the deep roots of trust to sustain a long-term loving relationship And there's no incentive when you're in long distance because guess what you can be flirting A guy could be flirting with 20 other women While he's flirting with you see flirting now is like the is like the pellet when the hamster is like Oh, I get someone to like me. I get someone to like me. Oh, I get to have sex with this person But I can be doing this with so many other people because they don't know what I'm doing Anyway, I think you get to just or where I'm going at that nicole if you do have a more concise question Please let me know Margaret goes on to say good point about codependency exactly We're going to have a video on that tomorrow Maryland says everything you're saying is so true. Jonathan. Everyone is so selfish. What has happened to us as a society sadly speaking We've been indoctrinated in a more me too Me let me retract what I just said not me too me Society it's all about my needs being met instead of actually caring about another human being before you ever engage in some sort of Connection with them. Anyways, that's my opinion anyway. Hope and I'll get canceled for that one. I didn't mean me too I just meant me Wanda goes on should a man ask to kiss a lady the first time I had a guy just smack me on the lips and it was no chemistry at the end of the meeting I gave him no vibe to kiss me. I wanted to go away You know, that's a very difficult one I I think if a man is confident He shouldn't have to ask and at the same time he should read the room. Is it safe to kiss this person? You know, I like what happened in the movie Hitch he's teaching this man how to kiss a woman and the goal is here's the woman's face And here's the man's face and he goes 90 percent of the way and waits for her to come 10 percent of the way If he goes 90 percent And she doesn't kiss him. He pulls back But if he goes 90 percent and she kisses him I I would rather men do that in the future than just Cavalierly kissing someone Or I just don't like the idea of asking All right CC says we can all do Self-work on ourselves, but that doesn't change the amount of low quality single men well, CC I want to say Low quality okay Men and women I don't like the definition of low quality. I do like the idea that there are deeply wounded human beings who are unaware Of their emotional and physical traumas And then they bleed that out onto someone else that doesn't make them low quality. It just makes them hurt human beings in my opinion Okay, uh Steph says I don't that's why I don't date anymore sick of men and women that are selfish and yes women are horrible too Folks i'm here to say most humans are good people You know when we can actually have compassion and love For everybody We begin to become a magnetic attractor for what we want when we can actually hold space Of being compassionate loving towards all human beings Instead of coming at a place of deficit. I want everyone to come from a place of abundance. You'll attract those people in your life That's my invitation for all of you.  Stand above that and say you know what? I am a beautiful human being And I desire someone who wants to go on this journey together with me in a healthy conscious way See change the narrative. You can change the narrative.  Is it important for a lady to dress up look all pretty for myself? I like to dress casually. Do you think that will turn guys off? You know some men are attracted to the bright shiny object In fact, they say the color red is one of it's like why does the bull go after the red cape? Okay, so we're red on a date a lot of dating coaches will tell you that and to some degree that will be attractive There is something sexy about red But the same time you can show up on a date casual See, it's the energy of your heart That matters more in the long run. Yes Dressing sexier might Temporarily get some attention temporarily But you know what if you've got a good heart and a man is attracted to You as a person whether you're dressed up or not You can have an equally successful life. So do what makes you feel right for you Probably the guy that you're going to meet is a guy who likes to dress casual as well Okay Uh, let's keep going One of my facebook group members and by the way, if you'd like to join my private facebook group check out the link below Called midlife love mastery. This is a group where you can have direct access to me on a regular basis Asking questions we actually tonight we have a live call where you can talk to me We do a once a month call. So check out the link to midlife love mastery. Let me put the banner here Right now join my group But right and there's a link below to get a copy of that. All right. So going back to this question.  Okay, great question so a person that might be either addicted to porn or They've masturbated so much that they're Desensitized because they cannot really come this is this is what I've observed watching Videos ted talks about porn addiction. Okay, so this isn't my thoughts. This is what I'm regurgitating, okay A man can become very desensitized when he masturbates a lot and if he uses pornography It's kind of a twisted view of sex and relationships can be Especially if it's more The kinkier the porn the more desensitized a man come may experience within his sexual Connection within another human being.  I watched porn. Okay. I'm a I'm a I'm a guy, okay But I will say this um Being addicted to it or over abuse is not healthy. That's my two cents on porn Okay, all right. Let's keep going Julie writes I've been trying this radical honesty telling guys what I want which is a monogamous commitment But I meet but I'm but I'm met with people that say they feel pressure. Are these non-committals types? If Marie came to me and said I'm looking for a series by the way She did say I'm looking for a serious committed relationship and I said that's too much pressure on me well It's not you have to recognize You're not saying I want it with you Okay, I just this is what I want. What do you want? See that's the follow-up question What do you want? No, I just want a casual. I just want it easy. I just want to have a good time Do you believe you should be having then the follow-up question? Do you believe you should be having sex when you're having a good time? Oh, yeah, of course. I want sex, you know, how can I how why why I have to you know Test drive the car before I'm never going to buy it Yeah, but you can test drive a car and never commit to it See, I'm not willing to do that. I want a relationship where someone who is serious and intentional if that feels like too much pressure That's okay You can go on tinder. You can go on bumble. You can go on hands.  This is not who I am And if that's pressure for you guess what? You're a weak man because if you can't handle that much pressure, what's going to happen when we have to really deal with pressure That's not pressure. That's called. Are we on the same page? Anyway, okay, julie. I hope that helps Bella Arranged to go away for the weekend with my boyfriend. He cut its time by a big chunk to help a friend Something I think he could have done anytime. I was hurt as was looking forward to it, but he thinks it's okay There isn't a question there, but I will say this that was an insensitive thing for him to do But at the same time sometimes when a relationship Hasn't fully been rooted with one another see Or when I say fully rooted in other words, you might not have built the deep roots of trust in this relationship Where he would care about your feelings. That's number one or he's dismissive of your feelings because yes There are going to be times we have to make changes to a plan That's going to happen But you know be sensitive to your partner, especially if they're looking up looking forward to something So he basically it sounds like his attitude was i'm just going to do this and you've got to suffer the consequences That's not a real kind partner to be in relationship with so ask yourself And or share with me Did he do it out of kindness and love or was it dismissive of you? And then that should give you an indication of how he genuinely feels about you Okay, Karen writes Been divorced almost a year unsure about dating. How do I know it's time? See these questions are difficult because I simply ask yourself Do you want a fully committed relationship? Number one Am I capable of a fully committed relationship? Number two? Am I willing to invest in the process of getting to know someone? Number three? Those are the questions you might want to ask yourself. Do I want a fully committed relationship? Am I ready for a fully committed relationship? And lastly, am I willing to invest the time necessary to develop a fully committed relationship care? Can someone write that down for me? And then that way you can see it Am I do I want it? Am I ready? And am I willing to invest when you can answer? Yes to all three of those? That's the time Actually something that happens in my private coaching A lot of women go through my coaching program and they go, you know what? I'm not ready for a relationship They're grateful for the awareness, but they actually take a break from dating To do a little bit more personal development work so they can actually lean into a healthy happy relationship All right, this Ashley writes Do you think it's okay That both parties get tested before being intimate together just so you don't catch cooties? You know, that's a good way to slow things down Just to simply see how someone reacts to that. Yeah, I think it's quite okay You know, oh, but let me just stick the tip in that's not really dangerous Let me just stick it in for a minute, you know, we can wear condoms. No, I mean you have every right to ask that And how he responds will speak volumes as to his character C. A says too much manipulation dishonesty and treating people like commodities.   Not a guy That's my rant anyway um Anna says thank you for the great tips. I've learned so much from you and marie best wishes. Thank you so much We appreciate that becca Is white lie acceptable like lying to go to a relatives house for dinner But instead in fact going to a female co-worker place for dinner with his parents because she invited them Well, that's not a white lie.   Hey, I had to go to the store, you know To do this when you were buying a birthday gift for them.  Okay Or at least that's one version of it.  Well, I I think you know, you can be clear with someone right from the get-go that you aren't physically intimate with someone before marriage Now in the case of what happened with I I'm a little bit confused He said he wasn't well endowed and but he was really gigantic. That's confusing to me Uh, maybe you might want to at least touch the peepee before you ever marry someone Um, but I think how to approach this topic with just honesty speak your truth Just do it with kindness just say, you know, this is part of who I am and if that doesn't work for you That's okay. You don't have to hide that one. That's part of that's important to you You're gonna be rejected by 99.9 of men most likely so you're gonna have to find men who already agree with that um That um experience You know a lot of christian men are that way a lot of religious men are that way by the way Sometimes just remember You know, you don't really know someone until you physically sleep with them and you spend time with them A lot of times you don't know someone until you've actually lived with them for a while Because I've known it.  That's that's another uh adjunct to what was said earlier Stay well and be strong or strong Does a man's history of watching his parents argue loudly nightly until they split up when he was 12 Effect his ability to trust a woman. Oh my god. Yes I want you to think of the emotional effects of growing up with parents who Probably hated them so hated each other. That's a strong word but hate but disliked each other And as a child you believe this is love So it makes it difficult for a lot of people to either trust commit Or they choose women that are argumentative Because that's familiar to them if you're not familiar with the work Of harvell hendrix and helen hunt getting the love you want This is a great book to understand what's known as the amago amago. I am a go They choose partners that are familiar to them based on their parental upbringing or surrogate parents So, yes, that would deeply affect I could could deeply affect the man Um, Nicole follow up um Let's see long distance. We had 22 months no plan to date for move. He said I'll always love you and your children What do I do to make him see that what he's giving up? you know If you have to fight or argue for for a person to love you Or to commit to you Then it's not on him.  Remember, I said earlier about codependency I invite you to read the book. Where is it? Uh Everyone if you haven't read this book codependent no more By melody baby. I highly recommend reading this book.  By the way, I'm going to be doing a video tomorrow with uh, mary best shooter shudder Talking about the the top addiction today is not drugs. It's not alcohol. It's not porn It's not gambling the number one addiction is romantic Codependency that's the number one addiction and we're going to talk about that tomorrow nicole I'm very sorry if it sounds like i'm throwing you under the bus But you should never fight for someone to see what he's giving up If he can't see it, then he's not your guy. Does everyone agree with me? Give me an amen Margaret goes on to add nonviolent communication is a great book. Exactly Okay, genie posted this do I want a relationship or commitment? Am I ready for a relationship? Am I ready to invest in a relationship? I think it's willing to invest or am I capable of investing Okay, well, they're all the same All right. Thank you so much Priya writes question great guy, but no chemistry ask me again and again after many months. Don't know what to say You know, it's sad that you have this great guy, but you're not feeling it I'm reminded of the movie revenge of the nerds. Okay Now this is probably a little inappropriate to share but uh in the movie revenge of the nerds There were the cheerleaders and the jocks and then there were the nerds And at one point one of the nerds finds himself in the dark room with the cheerleader Now they were physically intimate with one another And uh, which i'm not recommending but she found That she was like wow this guy is great in bed And even though he doesn't look like the jock and he doesn't look kind of corny She was attached to him now. I'm again. That's a probably a bad Scenario to suggest but the thing is you might be surprised when you open your heart up to a great guy I mean unless he's got a beer gut the size of texas and he's missing all of his front teeth You know, um, not that there's anything wrong with those types of those people Um, unless you're repulsed maybe giving a great guy a chance might yield you an amazing result Just something to put out there all right Leanne says Thank you, jonathan i've been dating a man for four months and he's currently and in he recently ended it While we were intimate he expressed that he was scared. Also granddaughters are his priority thoughts You know a lot of men are incapable to or at least at our Are deeply wounded And then they put other people's at a priority Um other people in their life whether it's their children whether it's their professional life in this case granddaughters. Okay Uh, he expressed he was scared. Okay.  So what do they do? They cut it off before that happens. They sabotage relationships men do this women do this. It's a very common thing What can you do about this? You can simply express your sadness And then you go out about living your life. He'll probably come back around Men have this rubber band effect. They pull and push and pull and push for a variety of different reasons You have to ask yourself. Are you having the deeper conversations to build the deep roots of trust? Are you having those intimate conversations where you're bonding together? Are you doing social activities hobbies mutual interest so you can as I said earlier build the deep roots of trust? That can sustain a relationship even when someone is scared Thank you so much for that question. We appreciate it All right, everybody is saying amen all right We're gonna be wrapping up in a few minutes Becca says can maria. I'm not with a maria. I am with marie I Share some of her solo traveling experiences. Did she go travel all by herself or with friends? So um Marie there's a picture of my sweetheart marie with an e just like marie osman And I know Becca. That was a that was not intentional Or excuse me back. I should say So she started off. I think she found some travel group that was going to I don't know africa. It wasn't that but it was somewhere else I forget where one of our first excursions or it was maybe a cruise There was something called single cruisers and then there was this this other organization called singles and paradise I'll repeat that singles singles cruisers singles and paradise. These were all organizations that put together trips cruise ships or Land-based excursions. Okay, and then through that she developed a group of friends and they have a facebook group and they socialize together It's funny. They all they're they're all they make always plans to get together. These are 20 30 40 people give or take In these groups and she's developed some really good friendships And she's gotten to travel the world at a fraction of the cost It would be to travel. I think she went to africa for two weeks All expenses paid. I think with the airfare was $3,500 I mean to do two weeks in africa at that kind of price. That's amazing And you know a lot of people save up and they you know, they they create savings accounts They put $150 a month away for a year to do these and by the time they're ready to go It only costs them $1,500 at that point. So there are some great. There's just give you some The cliff note versions of that. So I hope that helps Becca wrote down singles cruisers singles and paradise. She has a friend now d that organizes all these trips We're thinking about going to a trip to africa actually next year We actually got a trip planned to Costa Rica. Marie is amazing at finding those bargains and a ton of bargains exist You just got to put yourself out there to find them Uh All right, you know what folks? I think this would be a great place to wrap up today I hope you found value. You know, the reality is is when I started this conversation This causes men to lose respect for women. That's bs What I shared in the beginning what I mean to say is how many women how many men a woman slept with There's a bs reason to lose respect, especially if you're engaging in sex with someone early I think men need to be take more accountability for their actions And certainly i'm a big proponent of men and women alike taking ownership and responsibility for their actions And we are we are swimming in a sea of dysfunctional human beings. Yes, it is tough out there.  There's no doubt about it. And at the same time if you shift your mindset God universe spirit I invite in a juicy delicious healthy happy relationship where we have amazing chemistry with one another And the communication between the two of us is off the charts And we can we can chat for hours and hours on end and we can banter through our sense of humor daily We have the compatibility with one another to blend each other's lives Because we want to spend regular time together doing shared activities hobbies mutual interests We share the same values on life health finance sharedy community family fun pleasure travel prosperity and spirituality And lastly we have created the deep roots of trust. So our commitment Is so strong that it can weather the tiny bumps or even the big bumps That occur in the dating mating relating process god universe spirit.

He was on a rights to go from music ID TV and this is used in news so little Wayne has teamed up with 14 different designers for his merchandise line for the Carter 5 release. Now he also kind of took a note out of Travis Scott's book with doing these 24 hour sales. I think this was a good tactic for him to use because it also helped Travis Scott to get a platinum selling album as well as a number one selling album. Now for all artists out there, I think we need to pay a little bit more attention to the merchandise aspect of it. Because merchandise has historically been one of the top selling things for artists, one of the most revenue generating parts of the business model when it comes to artists. And that's with major labels or independent if you can kind of get enough people who are willing to buy your merchandise. These people are willing to buy your merchandise. The best thing about it is that you then know who your true fans are. They kind of send signals to society about who they are by wearing your merchandise. But that would be based off of what you stand for as a brand like let's say Madonna. Madonna may represent for some people like I'm a woman but I'm a little bit rebellious and what does I do?  But it's ultimately sending a signal to society about who you are as a person and that's what your merchandise can do for your fans. Another thing is the 24 hour selling period was something that was really, really smart to do because it plays into the scarcity marketing tactic that has worked in advertising for decades. If you get a coupon that say this is only available for a limited time, that means you're going to try and get in by that limited time or you can only take advantage for that limited time. And that scarcity kind of creates this fear of missing out on people and they want to make sure they take advantage of it or else they might miss out on it. So this is something that as an independent artist you can really take advantage of because a lot of times the budgets are a lot more limited than major artists and you truly can only have a certain amount of items for a certain amount of time. And you can organically say that is the case instead of trying to orchestrate it by limiting what you actually buy or create as far as your merchandise goes. When you do it, you literally can only afford that. But you can market it in a way that lets people know, hey, this is an exclusive offer. It's only a limited amount of these items and it's only available for a limited amount of time. So I would definitely encourage artists to pay a lot more attention to their merchandise as well as really think of interesting ways you can market your merchandise. Just having it may not be enough. The way you decide to deliver it to the people may be everything and it may make the difference between your success or failure with your merchandise. But in the comment section below, let us know if you even have a merchandise model. Are you producing merchandise at the moment? And if you're not, I think you might want to really consider it. Beyond that, be sure to share with a friend, like and subscribe for more videos. Once again, my name is Tuko and this is Use the News. Side out.
