Sebastian Welcomes Kyle Rittenhouse to the Show
"Rittenhouse. Welcome to America first. Are you doing Sebastian? Thank you for having me. I'm doing great. I think the last time you were on the show, we met at, I think it was cpac somewhere, and we managed to get you on the show. I think hopefully, I don't know. Are you gonna be coming to shot show in January? I don't know. Maybe. I may see you. We'll have to organize that because I saw you recently on Brandon Herrera, the 8 K guys, YouTube channel, a really fun interview guys. You need to watch it. Almost as good as this interview is going to be, but I know your big Second Amendment individual. We need to get you to that amazing festivities in January. But first things first, we've got you on for two segments. We're delighted you joined us. Can you just tell everybody you're talking to 3 million people from Texas to California to New York all over the country? What happened to you on that day in Kenosha? Why were you there? And why did you have to use that weapon to protect yourself? Well, I was in Kenosha to provide first aid and help protect a business that was getting set on fire. And by protect the business, I mean protected by putting out fires and helping injured people. And then I went to the car source slot number three as we referred to it in the tryout and I was ambush chased down and violently attacked for I was forced to just defend myself three times. What was the skin color? What was the ethnicity of the people who attacked you in the two people who tried to kill you? They were all white. They were all white. But I've seen headlines saying that you killed two black men. Multiple headlines. That's not true. The fake media, the fake news, likes to say that. And they like to try to push their own narrative. They like to call me a vigilante and a racist and a white supremacist and none of that's true. I just urge people to go out and watch the trial, watch interviews with me in it and learn the real facts of what happened before listening to sources like MSNBC or CNN. And

"All right, give me one more quick one. Oh man, you're milking it out of me. I didn't have time for it. I know, this is why it's fun. With squeezing the stone dude. For every overnights and this is not mine, but I just believe it's very true. With every overnight success is half a decade of work that nobody paid attention to. Everybody says that, oh, you're an overnight success. Like, no, you just. I just did it. I just did it with you. You've been doing it for like 13 years. That's what brought it to my mind, actually, 'cause and it's human nature, right? Like that's what you do. It's like when I became aware of this person is when they began to exist in the public conscious. And this is one of, I'm going to sound like an old bastard now. This is one of the biggest problems with the 20 something generation. I mean, they really think that success is a switch you flick and then it literally is overnight. And sorry guys, in Hungarian, I spent 15 years in Hungary and my parents were from Hungary. There's a phrase, which means chopping wood, splitting wood, and you have to do about a decade of Favre gash in any field if you want to even start to get on the bottom rung. And anything else is a flash in the pan and it doesn't mean anything. So guys, listen to this individual, make time to just switch off and relax and just get some kip and also you got to do some wood splitting. There are no, if somebody is an overnight success, I'll tell you something. It's like winning the lottery. That overnight success will last about a night, and then it's gone. And then it's disappears because it's just a fad. We're talking to, oh, sun is so philosophical.

If you enjoy the show, support those who make it possible, great Americans like Mike lindell. He is a patriot. He's a truth teller, the left wants to destroy him. You heard the story he told recently on our show of being ambushed by three unmarked FBI cars that demanded him to surrender his cell phone, not because he's a drug dealer or a criminal, but because he's a conservative and friend of president Trump's. They are refusing to stock his items at the big box stores even Walmart have canceled him, but he's got an amazing website over a 150 items, special discounts, bogos for Christmas. He sold 71 million, 71 million of the my pillows, the pillows that never lose their shape, never get hot. I love them.

What give us a big piece of advice to somebody who wants to be their own boss, which is the dream, wants to provide content in whatever platform they may choose, give us one of these words of wisdom, Brandon. So this is something that I actually have been able to pass on to somebody else and God, I hope you took my advice. This is probably the number one thing I wish I could go back in time, like 5 years until myself. Because everybody tells you, you know, you have to work hard, you have to grind, you have to miss some sleep every now and again. You've got to really just work every waking hour, you have to work. And I agree with that to a large degree, but I want to put like a little asterisk next to it that nobody ever tells you. Don't lose sleep and don't stress for no reason. If you're not being productive, get some sleep. Like this is not very good at it. I felt guilty anytime I wasn't working. And the very beginning, I'm like, man, it's either this or I don't know what I'm going to do. So you mean like burning it at both ends, burning the candle at both ends because you felt if you're not doing something, I'm not winning. Yeah, anytime I'm awake that I could be, you know, watching a movie or playing video games or hanging with my friends. That could be time that I could be working on this YouTube thing or I could be working on because I had the gun business going at the same time. And I was really just kind of and I was doing real estate on the side part time. I was really just trying to make it work no matter what. And there were several all nighters all night multiple all nighters in a row that I just felt like I had to succeed. And I wish I could go back and say, like, man, slow down. If you're not being productive or the sleep that you're losing is making you make worse decisions the next day or whatever, just knock it off, get 8 hours of sleep if you need it and just only put the work in when there's work to be done. Did you work that out by yourself just because you had to or did somebody say, dude, just take 8 hours? A lot of people were telling me that at the time. You get in your head and you think they just don't get it. They're not as driven as I am, but in reality, if you're not being learned where to place your time, like time management is more important than how much time you chuck at a task..

What Is It to Be a Man? Brandon Herrera Shares His Thoughts
"Just be serious for like 30 seconds, please Brandon? I will try my best. All right. What for you defines a man? Give us a few aspects. It depends on my man. I'm assuming you mean, or what characteristics are of a good man. Yeah, what's non negotiable to be a real man to be an upstanding decent man? What kind of characteristics do you have to demonstrate? There's a lot of the obvious ones that come to mind, like you have to be strong, assertive, you know, all the features of the highly testosterone alpha male type. But one that goes overlooked by a lot of those types. Something that my dad just pressed into my head on my entire childhood, which is just you have to be a man of your word. That is the only thing you're born with, that you can absolutely keep and nobody can take from you. Because you have to be honest and just if you tell somebody you're going to do something, you're going to do it. Does that mean that because for some people, it's hard to say no. And when you know you can't, it means saying that you can't. I guess. There's a big value too in learning to say no. I've learned that the crazier our lives get and if you're a media personality, bloody hard because when you're building a brand, you want to say yes to everything, right? Yeah, and there's also value in that. If you're just getting started, you want to jump on every opportunity you possibly can because you never know which one is going to be the one that takes you to the next place to the next place. But once you kind of establish yourself, there's a value being able to say no, especially for your own mental health after a while.

"And there was a Romanian essay one. Those were the two I grew up on. All right. I swear we're going to get to the man who questions, but last one on the AKs. Which is the user manly, this is a manhood question. This is good. Yeah, this is my default. If Brandon doesn't give me all the answers I want on manhood, we're just going to talk about guns. You have two choices for the worst AK stock. AMD 65 Hungary or the under folder. Oh, I am not a huge fan of either. The under folder does have a very classic look. It does, but it's even more uncomfortable to shoot than the AMD. It is, it is. And you better not have a magazine that's bigger than 30 rounds, because you're not going to be able to fold or unfold. Right, or a drum. Right. Right. I'm going to give slight edge to under folder because at least you can get somewhat of a cheek weld on most of them, whereas the AMD is a optimistic chin well. Exactly. It's a helmet world. Okay, good. That was my first rifle actually. It was the first rifle I ever owned was an AMD 65. We talked about the Hungarian AK made by. All right, let's get down to business. I asked all my guests 5 big questions. And then we have some fun with it. First things first in the manhood Al Brandon Herrera is the concept of masculinity of manhood in America in danger. Absolutely. Absolutely. Between Hollywood targeting, basically any positive male role models that you could possibly have an intentionally, it seems, and just the devaluation of men in society in general, I think that that's the toxic part. And if you had to identify of all the different sources where that assault is coming from in military terms, the center of gravity, what is it? Is it the schools that break up of the family? Is it Hollywood? Is it social media? Is it a political party? If we had to say, okay, this is the big problem, which one would you choose of them all? I think it's a combination of all of them. Obviously, but I think it is almost like one leading to the other. And I actually just thought about this now. It's probably has something to do with the writers in Hollywood. The people that are in charge of the decisions, how characters would be written, the producers that tell the writers, how certain characters would be portrayed. I don't imagine a lot of them come from stable homes with good positive male role models. And I think that reflects in their work. It's probably why they are drawn to the work that they were. Statistically speaking. And I think it shows through. All right, we talked to Brandon Herrera. He is the AK guy we've only just scratched the surface of the manhood hour.

"Say. We're just having fun. All right guys, if you're not familiar with him, you've got to follow him. It's one of my favorite YouTube channels. It's the AK guy. You can also follow him on Twitter at the 8 K guy Brandon Herrera. It's informative. He has a passion for a certain platform built by certain Soviet sergeant in the tank corps. But it's also funny. It's really good. Kind of subtle humor and dark humor. You've been on my say about you know what they say about dark humor, right? No, what do they say, Brandon? It's just like food, not everybody gets it. Not that, that's a perfect example. A perfect example. All right, you've been a regular guest on my show on the Friday. Second Amendment hours where we have a special guest every Friday is sponsored by car firearms. Now we're having you here for something else because I think you are a good example of toxic masculinity. But let's first, for those who aren't familiar with you, they will send their apologies very, very soon. Who is Brandon Herrera? Where do you hail from? And what is it that you do exactly? What is it that you do here? Yeah, if you're not familiar with me, it's probably because you're a well adjusted adult. But basically my entire thing is trying to bring firearms education. The forefront, while also being just using the using entertainment to do so. So whether that's firearm safety or just teaching people about the mechanics of guns, maybe taking some of their favorite guns and showing, okay, we know what this thing does, but how does it work? Because gun design is kind of my passion. So that's kind of been where we go about that. You just lied for a whole minute there. It's not about guns and gun safety. It's about one stinking platform. Can you be a little bit specific as to your name, please? It's not guns in general. Well, so I do have quite an affinity for the AK platform specifically. But I'm not a monogamous when it comes to weapon platforms. I kind of I run the gamut and my objective at the end of the day is to have one of everything. Just have a giant reference library of every, you know, there's only so many ways you can shoot a projectile down a barrel, but I want to know every way people have tried to do. That's so on American. Why do you only want one of each? I'm not saying I don't have multiples of my favorite. Oh, okay, good. Okay, so your goal is at least one. At least at least one reference item. Maybe a couple like, for example, I have a collection of makarovs by different nationality because I just think Mack robs are neat. They're not exactly a great handgun. Come on, you got to admit the CZ 83 is like a light year ahead of it. Depends, the fire control group is a little. I've seen those break before and I've never seen a macro of fire control route break. Yeah, because it was built by flipping Neanderthals. All right. Exactly. One last question before we get into the meat of what is ostensibly the manhood hour you have a certain proximity if not more than just geographically to things to do with North Carolina and a certain military base that I have frequented literally hundreds of times. So why the heck the AK and not the AR that are green beret buddies in the airborne troops use it for Bragg? For sure. So I grew up in fable, North Carolina, kind of on fort Bragg. And so I had a big exposure to the military growing up. It took me a very decent way through my childhood to realize that when you grow up joining the military isn't just what you do. That's just what all my Friends dads did and whatnot. So I'm like, okay, that's just your career path in life because that was just kind of the military of mindset of that area. But really what got me on the AK was my dad took me shooting, he had just picked up an AK. He's like son. This is how this thing works. Basically gave me the basic introduction to the platform. I think I was like 8, 8 years old. And then we'd go a couple of times like over the next couple of years and he would just kind of show me and he'd be like, all right, well, you know, now you've shot it. And I really think he just didn't want to clean it. But he showed me how to clean it. He's like, all right, well, every time I take you to the range, the deal is you have to break it down and clean it. So I got a really intimate familiarization with the AK platform before I was old enough to have a learner's permit to drive. What was it? Was it in a ring or wasser? Do you remember what it was? Your first AK. There was an under folder, like a spiker..

The America first warrior on the West Coast is Joe Kent, he beat Jamie Herrera butler in a primary, but faces a tough general. So if you can help out Joe Kent in Washington state up in the northeast, Caroline leavitt is running an inspirational campaign in New Hampshire and I've got to mention my Florida woman buddy on a paulina Luna, who is going to flip Charlie Crist seat and she's got a great connection to turning point. I know turning points was a point graduate. She went through the whole process, had a lot of fun together, did a lot of campus stuff, and now she's going to be a member of Congress, which I think will be our first member of Congress we could say from turning point to Congress. That'd be kind of fun, right? Definitely not the last. That's the beginning. And that's why that's why the regime wants to come after both of us. Matt, go vote, hopefully no, on whatever it is because it's probably garbage being proposed by Nancy Pelosi. So don't put too much thought into it. I think no across the board should be smart, but I don't know what you're voting for. Matt God bless you, congratulations, keep fighting.

Can We Celebrate the Death of the RINOs? Rep. Matt Gaetz Weighs In
"We're celebrating the death of the rhino species in D.C., but they're not going to go away that quietly, are they? Well, we have seen a number of victories that together show us where the real enthusiasm is in the political right. You know, if Liz Cheney was the only person who voted for impeachment to be rejected by voters, we might view that as just Liz Cheney's complete betrayal of Wyoming, her unwillingness to ever talk about Wyoming, values the fact that she's actually from Northern Virginia, not Wyoming. You could point to those things, but you see Joe Kent defeat Jamie Herrera butler. You see Adam kinzinger quite literally just avoid the judgment of his voters by not seeking reelection. You see someone like Fred Upton certain to face defeat against a candidate that was more pro Trump choosing to forgo reelection. And so I think there's a pattern here that shows how narrow any path is or any constituency is for the reconstitution of the establishment.

Join us on this journey as we celebrate women who were driven to pursue their passions. Even if it meant changing course along the way. This month on romantica, we're talking about dynamos. When I was younger, but I knew I was a painter and now they're beginning to know I'm a painter. I waited a long time. There is a saying. If you wait for the balls to be both tone. I say yeah. I would almost say for the boss to come. Hello. From wonder media network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is will manica. This month we're highlighting women who've led dynamic lives that have shifted evolved and bloomed. Often later in life. Today we're talking about a woman who was known for painting canvases with beautiful abstract shapes. She was an artist for most of her life, but didn't receive serious recognition until she was 89 years old. Please welcome Carmen Herrera. Carmen was born in Havana, Cuba on May 31st, 1915. She was the youngest of 7 children, born into a wealthy family. Her father, Antonio Herrera, was the founding editor of el mundo. A prominent Havana newspaper, and her mother, Carmen Nieto, worked there as a reporter. Carmen's childhood was filled with music, art, and literature. When she was just 8 years old, she started taking art lessons with her older brother Addison, and the artist Federico adelman Pinto. They studied sculpture and painting. The family's relatively liberal ideals meant that Carmen also grew up a feminist. She later explained I guess I was born a feminist because I always thought I was superior to my brothers. After graduating from high school in Paris, Carmen returned home to Havana. Political turmoil was ripping through the country. The president was forced to step down and several of Carmen's relatives were imprisoned for political dissidents. Despite political unrest, Carmen was able to attend the elite instituto de la Havana. She took sculpture and painting classes, and she exhibited her work at the circulo de Bellas artes. In 1933, when she was just 18 years old. She then studied architecture at the university of Havana, but dropped out in the thick of Cuba's political upheaval. In the summer of 1930 7, Carmen met Jesse lowenthal, an American teacher visiting Cuba. Born to two Jewish immigrants in New York, Jesse was a polyglot who spoke English, Spanish, German, yiddish, French, and Italian. Jesse and Carmen's mutual interest in the arts and literature sparked a romance. On July 11th, 1939, the two were married, and Carmen returned with him to New York. After that, the couple lived in Paris for a bit, where Carmen pursued her painting quite seriously. Her style began to shift from a more traditional to a more abstract. She exhibited her new work at a few places, but never sold a painting. In 1954, Carmen and Jesse returned to New York permanently. It was during that period that Carmen's art became more minimalist. And she created many of the paintings she's known for today. These pieces were huge with sharp lines, bright colors, and strong shapes. But Carmen was an outsider in the art world. She was Cuban, and she was a woman, and she was a Cuban woman making abstract art. No one knew what to make of her. All that changed in 2004 when Carmen sold her first painting. She was 89 years old. A few years later, she had her first European solo show at icon gallery in Birmingham, England. On her 100th birthday, a documentary about Carmen and her art was released. It was called the 100 years show. In 2016, Carmen got along overdue display at the Whitney Museum of Art. The show was called Carmen Herrera lines of sight. It showcased around 50 of her works from the mid 20th century. Carmen was recognized in a Whitney opening speech by former First Lady Michelle Obama, who named Carmen among other timeless artists as inspiration for future generations. At the age of a 106, Carmen was still working and full of life. In an interview, she said, I can not walk the length of my studio, but my mind can travel far to places I have been, and my imagination to some I have not. On February 12th, 2022, Carmen passed away in the Manhattan loft where she'd worked and painted for more than 50 years. Carmen's work had recently been acquired by several prominent museums, including the National Gallery of art in Washington, D.C.. The Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Tate modern in London. Carmen, who worked for decades without recognition or sales, is now remembered for her genuine passion for painting. She's getting the honor that she deserves..

"Was happening between Danny alves and buko Herrera. Danny Alva's linked all over the guy Mackie's, but specifically the tigress. Now he's 39 years old, he's out of contract at Barcelona, but he did play over a thousand minutes for them in all competitions last season. By the way, he's still a Brazilian international, yes. And yet despite all that, Miguel Herrera just doesn't really seem all that interesting. Let's listen. In the moment, we're in the other end. He pulls significantly. And he says, I was throwing out your academia. And they said, all right, her Danny alves did not take this laying down. There you can read or pretty much make out his tweet saying, well, taking a shot. Let's put it that way. I'd be this guy. Look at this guy. All right, so clearly shots fired.

"That TFC were going to sign 28 year old Federico bernardeschi on a free transfer from Juventus of course subban and European champion with Italy as of last summer. What do you think of all this and does it finally make TFC a real MLS cup contender down the stretch? If they get bernardeschi. Come on. 6 months. Contract. And Interpol's what I think is a fabulous move for a MLS proven player was still a lot to offer for a 150 and funny money. I think that's Chris Henderson doing some Garth lager away stuff right there thinking next level. Good on them. Is an interesting player because he's only 28 years old. European champion with Italy, he gets called up all the time. But maybe his most productive years were 2016, 2017 around there. When he had double digit goals for Fiona and Dina, at juve, he's not really had over four goals or close to that in quite some time. In fact, Weston McKinney was more productive on the go front and assist front. For the amount of time that they spent together. So it's an interesting move, but maybe a drop in level will give this man the form that he desperately needs, that will help TFC and listen, if there's one thing I've learned about bob Bradley's, he's not shy when it comes to pulling the trigger and making moves. It doesn't matter if you're winning. He won't make a move. Now, TFC is not winning so your damn well sure, he's going to make moves. He didn't know IFC what players like aranci mono scored the first goal in their franchise history was their captain. He got shipped off. You look at players like Tyler Miller who holds every statistical record that the goalkeeper can hold at LAFC. He's gone. You look at other players like west I'm sorry, walker Zimmerman, who was a defender of the year, winner, he's gone, so he's not going to be shy about trying to move players on to get what he wants. This is more of that. And TFC is in a rebuilding year, or I should say stage. Wait a second. Do you remember at the beginning of the season when you got mad at me 'cause I made different MLS cup champion picks on different shows. One of those picks was Toronto FC. Yeah. Bernardeschi and senior, I'm just saying, I'm just saying, in MLS, you don't need much to sneak into the playoffs. You want to double click on the playoffs. You want to double down on that? Can I buy another month or so before I throw down on that one? All right, enough trade talk. Transfer talk. Let's move to the ugly, because there is something very ugly, something that is very much brewing here between MLS and the Seattle sounders. MLS has a port reportedly rejected the sounders request.

"Who lost to Dominican Republic who they dominated in the final by 6 goals and it could have been worse. It's not the fact that they wanted how they write. Yeah. Like these tournaments, especially when you look over the past years, the stars of like a U 20 Concacaf tournament don't end up being always I'm very rarely we should say the stars of the national team. There are two week tournaments featuring teenagers, right? Anything can happen. The fact it's three straight, I will give you is at least something. If I were a real fan, right? Now I wanted to get fanatical about it. I would say everything because to your point, have you ever seen a U.S. team dominate Concacaf like that? And I'm not just talking about the numbers hurt. I'm talking about the how. Like the way that they played was very satisfying and the way they dominated the key games, the final, it's three nothing basically by the 40th minute. The semifinal, it's three nothing by the 40th minute. And the quarterfinal, which is, you know, a must win game, it's 5 minutes in when Paxton aaronson scores. They were killer and damn did they look good doing it. Yeah, and they did it against teams like the home team Honduras in front of a pack crowd. I mean, it really is the way they did it, said nothing seemed to phase these kids and they are kids. And congrats to them because this is an amazing accomplishment. Yes, one of the accomplishments, of course, they punch a ticket to the 2024 Olympics, which we know will be held in Paris. Now, men's soccer at the Olympics, you get three over age players. You can add to your roster. So if we gave you some homework here, you got the entire pool of overage, U.S. men's national team players, who you take in with those three spots. Before I start, let me just say I was going through the names and I realized the type of roster that the U.S. youth national team because it's a youth tournament to U 23 tournament for the Olympics will have. I mean, Gaga saloni, Bella, you know, it could be on one side. You could have Reynolds or just scallion on the other side. You were talking about guys that didn't even play in his life. I didn't even play Eunice Musa at Giovanni Reina Ricardo peppy and Matthew Hopkins those guys still have got me thinking like, holy, what? Oh, bed, a bunch of different things. All right, so this is where I went with, okay? First player producer, can I get Chris Richards? Come on down. Chris Richards is gonna be one of your over age players for this Olympic team. Now, you need an experienced center back, but I still want a younger center back. I want a younger son back they can play the way that this team has been showing us they play, building out of the back, very good in transition, defending long passes, vision, all that stuff. So Chris Richards will be the first one. Weston McKinney, I went down as well because Weston McKinney is a winner and I want winners on my team and it's a guy that's a good two way player that's gonna get goals and assist and he's a set pieces. He is a threat. A lot of that midfield has been said, like honestly, that 6 position could be tricky, but Johnny cardozo could be there. You could have somebody else emerge in that time. I think it could be well spent with Weston McKinney there that experience. And then listen, if this is the Olympics, I want Captain America, I want Christian Pulisic. Now, this is all theoretical assuming everybody gets released because we know how these things go. He could be on a team like Chelsea or around Madrid or whatever the case may be, you went through something and say, I'm not going to risk this player in a U 23 tournament. Somehow miraculously all the Brazilian players get released, but other teams do not, okay? If this is the case I want Christian.

"Kid who he trusts, he knows, but and he's also bringing in Tyler Adams that he's had in Major League Soccer that he was the assistant coach at Leipzig that brought in Tyler Adams to Leipzig and now a player that he had himself while he was coaching at lightsaber as the first team coach. So yes, the narrative will be it's on Jesse, it's on Jesse marsh and if you don't succeed, it's season American. Now, I've been seeing plenty of people online upset with Craig berley because he cracked a joke about blame the Americans, but there's some truth to that. The narrative exists because we see Brendan errands and we see Tyler Adams. We see Jesse marsh and the forty-niners organization that owns leads united. So is it low hanging fruit? Yes it is. Is it true? Yes it is. And will I happen? Yes, it will happen if things don't go well for them. They will start blaming the Americans. So you talk about replacing a legend from the Jesse marsh perspective. I think the same can be said here for Tyler Adams with Calvin Phillips, right? This is an English international who was a leads academy product, like they love this guy. So I think there's some risk there for Tyler Adams. Of course, much more risk on Jesse marsh, right? He's really in his first window going all in on the Americans, specifically with Adams, Leeds were linked to other dudes hurt, like he, if Jesse marsh wanted a safe play, he could have found it elsewhere. He could have found somebody else to play that. I think it says a lot of just how high he is on Tyler Adams, that he didn't need to pick an American, and even though it's a little more risk to him personally, he still bet on Tyler Adams. I think that tells you exactly what you need to know. And if I'm Tyler Adams, I'm expecting not just to start, but to succeed, because you remember that interview we did. One of the first we did on this show. Remember, he got real kind of not mad, but I think he was like bitter at the question when I asked him about position. There is no more question to your point about him playing center back at Leipzig about his position under Jesse marsh. He's going to play his role. So if anywhere, it's got to be here, right? It has to be here for him. It's going to be here, and he will play and he will play in his role, but you have to keep in mind Jesse marsh isn't just looking for a defensive midfielder. He's looking for a leader. He's looking for a captain. That's the type of player that Tyler Adams is for Jesse marsh. Okay, so you like to go down this road of like, the Americans are hated overseas and the British press is very tough. But sometimes there are some fans that really do like Jesse marsh. Can I show you this example? I don't know if this is safe for TV..

"That that's easier said than done. It's like parenting, you know? You have your best intentions, do all those things that you imagine, and then a mux to chaos, you lose it on. The fray of trying to run a healthy family. But leaders now need to understand and we all need to get very intentional about looking at these wonderful people that are part of our community and sitting with them. They're asking themselves one question. What's my opportunity? We have to be able to sit down and I call this exercise. Let's give them the pin. Walk them up to the board and I've done this exercise for years while I walk them up to the board and I say, okay, what are your gifts to the organization? Like, tell me the things that make your heart sing, the things that give you energy. And then I'll say, okay, question number two. Based on you utilizing those gifts, what problems do you see that you could help impact in our community? So you have to create that safety that allows them to speak openly about that. And then three, okay, if you disproportionately focused on applying those gifts, fixing those problems, what would that role look like? And they've already been thinking about this, but we have to mind that out of them. And then the next question is, okay, well, what are two or three things that you have to do in order for that role to be a reality? Again, that's doing what mister Teague the gentleman that came on board the bus. That's a potential. Okay, how are you going to own your potential? Because I'll give you all the support you need, but if you're not willing to do these two, three things that you said you have to do in order to get there, I can't help you. But in giving them the pen, you're doing exactly what you did with the kid you invited on stage to race right. You're asking that person to control their own narrative. Right. Rather than saying, well, there's no opportunity here. Right. How do you know? Well, you know, because you have an opportunity to what are you a better in the street? If your ass ask for what you want, but if you don't know what to ask for, how could they offer it because you wouldn't recognize it. So you have to design it, and then you confront it. And we as leaders have to make it safe for them to do that. That's the other side of it. It's two sided, but it is two sided. It's not one side on. Oh, it's up to the employees. Let them come forward. Well, you don't make it safe for them to come forward. Or to the bosses because they have all the power. No, it's up to you to control the narrative. And decide, do you want to win? If you do, rock on. Otherwise, back off and get your own sandwich. That's it. You know, it's like I use a corny metaphor. That seesaw on the playground. It's like, you have to balance it out, right? I don't just want to be the kid on one side of it that is expected as an employer to give you all the answers. Like, life doesn't work that way. No. It's an a.m., not an OR so I want you to participate in your own rescue here. And let's do this together. And I can help create this for you. You have to own it. And by the way, I'm going to, along the way, I'm going to tell you what you need to hear. Now what you want to hear, because I care about you. So this has been, I think that's, I think that's missing. Yeah, I think you're right. This has been a fabulous conversation. And I sincerely appreciate your being with us. We are at the end of part two. And before we go, of course, I'm going to ask you to make sure everybody knows how to find out find out how to reach out to you and get capture your resources. But before I do that, I want you to give our listeners to give our leaders to give our viewers one simple short piece of practical advice, something you would ask them to go do right now preferably as they're listening or certainly within the next few hours so they could take this and make it real because information is with the whole donut. Transformation comes from the application. So what's that one piece of advice? Well, I'd share my very simple leadership philosophy, dove in that we all struggle. Every struggle teaches us something. That's the gift. And leadership is sharing those gifts with others. So the question I would ask these leaders to consider is how well and intentionally am I doing that with those that I'm leading. And I think that would be an interesting self assessment exercise for leaders today. I think that's great piece of advice because I think we get shy about that. We think it's either big headed to say what is what I've learned or we think it's kind of weak to mention that I failed in some way. And it's both of those things are absolutely wrong. That's great advice. Thank you so much, Bobby. Again, please tell our listeners our viewers, where they can find out more about you and all your wonderful resources so they can reach out.

And he was hanging on every word. And at the end, you know, during the Q&A, that's my favorite part because I get to really connect with these kids. And I got a couple of layup questions and then this kid finally raised his hand. And he asked me, he said, hey, Bobby, as you were getting started in your career, how did you get past the color thing? And I knew what he was really asking me, though, but I wanted to create a way to drive it home. So I looked at him and I said, hey, do you mind if I ask you a question first before. We answer that? He's sure. And I said, you know, you're pretty athletic looking young man. I said, do you think you could be in a race? And he looked at me. Obviously, not knowing where this question from left field came from. Yeah. And I said, you know, he looked at me and he's like, of course. And I said, okay. And I said, hey, do you mind if I call you skittles because you got that whole Marshawn Lynch thing going on, you know, and you're looking really sharp and his friends started laughing because that was actually his nickname. Cool. And so I said, hey, I said, hey, come on up. Come on up on the stage. I said you and I are going to race across the stage right now and I'm going to prove to you that I can beat you in a race. And according to kiss, kids started getting all excited and so forth. And I called them up. And we walked over to the side of the stage. It was a pretty long but short stage. It was going to be a short race. And I had to gather that introduced me, go to the other side. And as we're sitting there, my man skittles is getting down like he's going to still second base. Like there's no way he's letting this old man beat him in front of all his friends, right? And so as the race gets started as we get there, the gal, I told her, hey, go and start us. And she says, on your Mark, get set. And right before she said, go, I put my hand out in front of this young man. And I stepped out in front of him and I said, hey, let me ask you something. What were you thinking about when you were on that line? And he looked at me and he said, beating you. And I said, okay, I said, let me ask you another question. Did you care what color I was? And he said, no. And then he just grinned from ear to ear. And I said, hey, look, I know what a question you were really asking me. I'm not saying that the color thing is not real. I'm not saying that all these things that are out that are uncontrollable, by the way, aren't something that you're going to face. But here's what I want you to leave with. From this day forward, you have control over your story over your choices and over how hard you run. And so I think you were asked you asked me your question about how do I get over the color thing. But your real question is, how do I best take control of my own story? And I said, next time you're on that line and no matter what race you run, doesn't matter who the person is to the left or right, you just run your best race and you run the next one better than that one. And that young man to this day will never forget that moment. And I think more often than not, the message that I send these kids born on the wrong side of the opportunity to divide is, look, these things out here, they're in controllable. But what is controllable is the story that you can control and the choices you make. Raise your standards every time you line up. And if we do those two, I think we'll eventually get to that place where we all want to get to. But it's not just one sided. And I'm always real intentional about making sure that we look at both sides of the narrative because it's an and not an or. Yeah, absolutely. Super, thank you for that. It was a brilliant story and a brilliant way of understanding that the issues are still the issues. Nobody's saying they're not the issues. But the focus is up to you. What you're determining is the focus. And the truth is, because of the narrative of the political environment or whatever it might be. Because the argument could easily be, well, I'm starting three yards back, then run three yards harder. That's right. That's it. That's right. That's what you have control over. So that's fabulous. Thank you, Bobby. I really appreciate that. We are already at the end of part one of our show. I've really enjoying it. Thank you so much for being with us.

"About one that will stick with you forever and inspire you to become the leader that you imagine yourself to be. Ladies and gentlemen, please put your hands together and help me to welcome the author of the gift of the struggle mister hello. Helen underdogs, dove. I feel like I want a shadow box now. And then, all right, so bummy, what we always like to start to show is with this question in the context of leadership development and leadership generally, you know, I'm brought in, I know you are asked to come and speak. I'm brought in, oftentimes, I'm asked to question and I feel like it's the wrong question. So I can't give the right answer to the wrong question. So in the context of leadership and development, what is the question we should be looking for the answers to the oftentimes we're not even, we're not even aware that we should be looking. What do you see it as? Well, great question. You know, I do agree. I think the right questions open doors that otherwise remain closed in my observation of I think the first and foremost that key question is, hey, who am I becoming? You know, it starts first and foremost with becoming that leader that you imagine inside and what does that journey not only look like, but where is it going? And two, how am I going to check what I call the ultimate box? I believe every single one of us want to check the ultimate box and that will turn boxes will my life matter. So how are we going to make a mark on this world? How are we going to leave it a little bit better than when we arrived? And I believe those two questions must be asked in order to really understand not only who we are, but how we want to give to the world. I have a very similar philosophy don't use that language, but I really like that. Because I think that, you know, it's interesting to me that there's a lot of emphasis on be present in the moment. And I fully agree with that. I think what we do need to be very present in the moment. But not at the cost of examining where am I going? Because if I'm present in the moment, but I'm on the wrong path from my heart for my soul for my imagining of the kind of leader that I want to be, then it doesn't matter that I'm present. I'm present in the wrong place. You know, if you're present in the North Pole and you're looking to get a suntan, you might want to move south. That's just the thought, you know? So it's kind of like that and I really like the way you put that. That's really good. Who am I becoming? And can I check that ultimate box? Now, you come from a large family, as I believe you're one of 13 kids. I think it is. And you are your family are a migrant family. I think this is a very relevant conversation at this point in time. Because, you know, my family, my heritage is also immigrant family who came to another country, I'm an immigrant myself. I immigrated twice to two separate countries from the country I was born in. My family, my grandparents, from Eastern Europe and moved around all those kinds of things. And there's an ethic that goes along with we all know the ethic of the immigrants and that we all know that immigrants take for granted far less than sort of homegrown people. We tend to appreciate what's in front of us and we wanted to get advantage of that. But there's also a value of hard work that is to me is kind of it's interesting when I see anti immigrant things because it's like the hardest workers are always the immigrants. And they're likelihood of becoming millionaires who's also higher. So you must have grown up with hard workers of value, putting in how long hours, you guys, your family started out working in the fields. Talks was about how that has influenced you as a leader and what that is done for you that migrant mentality. Well, a little background of, so I'm not a 13. So I still eat with my elbows on the table. I protect my food. And I learned to do that very young. It was it was a necessity. I understand. It's interesting on the hard work is a value, it absolutely was, and it was very directly connected to necessity. And I believe that's often part of the immigrant journey. And my family story, my dad was a bracero from Mexico. That came over to the U.S. as a very young man and he would leave the family ten years while my mother was in Mexico, raising children. And in those days there was no form of communication. No. And they were my family. That's right.
