Modern Mom Probs Is Not the Tara Clark Show, It's About Community
"Talk to us about cultivating friendships and community and how that served you. From the beginning, I have always said that Modern Mom Probs is not the Tara Clark show. It's not about me. I've never wanted it to be about me. I've wanted it to be about the topics. That's why the account is not, you know, Tara Clark problems, modern mom problems. Right. And so for me, I sort of have made a switch over the last, maybe let's say two years or so, to peel back the curtain and be more of a personality of like, this is Tara, not just Modern Mom Problems. And that's been hard for me personally, to quote my son, like it's a little cringe, because it's easier for me to talk about topics or to showcase the topics. But the community has always been the thing. So my point in saying that is I always share my friends. I've always been the biggest hype person for all of my friends. My one friend, Nikki Marie, she's also on Instagram and on TikTok. She called me the ultimate hype girl. I am the ultimate hype girl. I'm always pushing everyone out front and being like, no, you take the stage. You take the, the lion light. Just because that's who I am. And so community right from the very start from the very second that I started my account has always been tantamount to me. And, and my, we had a very, I had a very core group of friends when we first started the account back in 2016, women lived all over the country. In fact, all over the world because one of them was in the Netherlands and we were best friends. We were on our chat DM all day, every day for like years. And so these are some of my absolute best friends and, and a lot of other names like you, like you said that I know people like Libby, is a really good friend of mine. In fact I've met her several times in person, one of which she had an Airbnb and she invited me and a few other friends up. Yeah, it was great in February. We were there actually for Valentine's day in the Superbowl this year. So we just hung out and we created content and we relaxed and it was, it was wonderful. And so, yeah, although we don't always get to see each other in person, when we do, it's just like so much more meaningful and special. I love that. It sounds like, you know, like really, I hate to sound corny, but it does kind of sound magical. Like when you get together with those girlfriends and you're all sort of aligned like professionally and personally, it really, it's so important. I say this all the time. I would be nowhere without my personal and professional like network. So I love that. It's really as important.

A highlight from Why Valarie De La Garza Calls Her Own Shots
"When Valerie de la Garza was approached about becoming the CEO of Fenton Communications, the job wasn't even on her radar. It should have been. Valerie's experience on campaigns ran everything from the census to voting combined with her years working with major consumer brands and her lived experience as a working class kid growing up in Southeast LA made her the ideal candidate to run the largest public interest communications firm in the country. Valerie thank you so much for doing this. Oh, you're so welcome. Thank you. I've heard you talk about how growing up in Southgate, a working class Latino community in LA, just that early experience really shaped your commitment to social impact. What was it about that experience growing up in Southgate that had you thinking as a young person about social injustice? I don't think I really understood truly what my situation was, my standing, my socioeconomic impact in my life until I went to college, being the first one to go to college, which many of us are. And then you realize, oh wow, how behind I was from an educational standpoint and how unfair that was, that the zip code was a huge determinant, a social determinant on my life. And honestly, it made me sad. It made me angry. It made me appreciate that, wow, I'm here now. For me, that was really the crystallization of wanting to really figure out a way to be involved in social good and social impact. In the 90s, when you're doing Latino PR, it is still a pretty niche industry. It's at least treated as a niche industry. Do you have a story or a memory from that time that, if it happened today, would be absolutely ridiculous? I do. I have a couple. I would be called Maria by clients, by other peers that were in what we would consider mainstream community relations and public relations. Now, I will tell you Maria, of course, is my grandmother's name. And there are many Marias in our Latina and Latino community. The problem is you weren't one of them. Right. And this didn't happen just once. This happened to me multiple times. I believe this line is from your bios, which is, it's something on the lines of, today, Latino communications is the expectation, not the exception. And I wonder if you really believe that's so, and if it is so, why so many people are still so terrible at it. Yeah, I think that there used to be in the nineties when you saw the explosion of ethnic and public relations and communications and advertising, it was seen as, well, we need to do it in this box. We need to do it in a division. And now I think that there is a recognition when we say, quote, the mainstream communications. Well, all you have to do is look at the numbers and numbers translate to sales. Let's just be honest. And so I think that what we've seen in the industry is a reflection of what we've seen in the world. Now, there might be an expectation, but back to your point on it not being done well, because it has to still be done by people who have lived in experience, by people who come from those stories, Southgate, East LA, whether that's Chicago, you know, wherever across the country. And frankly, there can be complacency in the industry and throwing their hands up. And I see this in corporations that also say we need more people of color on boards. Oh, we can't find, quote, them. We're here. We have to be more intentional and look harder to widen the pool to get people with these lived in experiences. And in fact, we will do a great job of engaging our ethnic communities. The bulk of your experience is in nonprofit and social impact work, but you've also done brand side work and consumer side work. And I wonder what the lessons were you took from brand and consumer work that you've then been able to take and apply to your work doing social impact. When you work on the brand side, you actually have more resources and you see how things are done when there are dollars that are set aside for focus group qualitative and quantitative group testing. There is so much on the line when you're working with a company that has to move the needle on sales. I worked on clients like Nestle, I worked on Kellogg's and they were so sophisticated in using those tools and bringing that discipline into the nonprofit area where certainly those dollars are not available, which is a shame, which is wrong. They still have to move the needle, but that needle is about many times saving lives. That needle is about housing. That's about feeding people, but they do not have those resources. But certainly we can have an intentionality and we can learn how do we apply that same discipline and rigor, even if we don't have those resources or will help slow down a nonprofit and say, listen, I know you want to jump in and do X strategy right away, but let's do some research. We're going to spend a little bit more money at the outset, but it's going to be worth our while to be more on target and help us with research that's going to actually yield us results in the end. When you talk about part of your value being the fact that you did grow up in Southgate and you did grow up with a single mom and you know that lived experience, does time come to mind when someone was pitching an idea to you or like, this is how we're going to reach the Latinos or this is how we're going to reach working class people where it's sort of like required you to summon little Valerie of Southgate to be like, that's not going to work. Oh, many times, but not just now, throughout my 30 years, many, many times. And I'll tell you, they typically comes from good intention, good intention of saying, oh, we want to reach this market or community. But the wrong way of going about it from a perspective of dollars and cents and not about true engagement. And there's also, I think more than anything, and this is something we're still babbling, we're not all the same. I happen to be an 11th generation Latina. My family goes back 11 generations in Texas. So people will say, oh, what part of Mexico are you from? And I say, Texas. You know, it's amazing to me. But we're not all the same. And I think there tends to be back to the little Valerie when I would get mad, it's when it's like, oh, we're all the same. We're, quote, Hispanic. And when that diversity is not recognized, that's when you get I put my eyebrow up and say, this is not legitimate. It's not authentic and it will not work and I will not be a part of it. Does any specific pitch come to mind? I think I would get in trouble to tell me who it was just just like. Oh, well, I will tell you, I worked on a campaign where it was a Latin food brand, they produced chili and other things, and they had a long heritage and the number one consumers were Latinas. And I found the ideas of the company so stereotypical and off the mark and back to when we talked about doing research and so forth. I was like, who did you lean in? Because this is a different market for you. This is going to come off badly. You know, man with a big mustache comes out in a white suit, the big hat, and it was awful. And so you have some clients who are willing to listen and some clients who are not. At that time, there was a middle ground that was reached. But it's hard when you're the only one. See, this is again why it's important to have people at the table, because then you're the one. Oh, it's just you and then you're not so valid. But when you're like, well, actually, no, like, let me explain to you why that it can be potentially offensive. You're walking into a situation where you either offends or it falls flat and then you don't want to invest in the market anymore. But if you actually engage authentically, then guess what? You will in connect with the consumer, then you will make more money. That's what you want to do. You won't sell more. But in that case, I was shocked at the imagery. I felt like we were in the 1950s. And really, you were in the early aughts. Valerie, here's my big question. What were you doing? How were you positioning yourself so that you were someone that was being thought of as a person with CEO potential? Because you can say it's the work, but like we're Latinas, we do the work, right? Like that part we've got. Beyond that, what were the strategic relationships? What was the personal branding? What was the positioning that allowed you to step in when that opportunity presented itself? I think for me in this moment, it was not a job that I actually had on the table for myself. And that's very telling, by the way, because we don't see ourselves in that position. We don't see, you know, it's less than seven percent in my industry. It's seven percent for people of color. So it's like I think it's four percent for women, people of color. And who knows what it is for Latinas? You know, when I look back to sort of what brought me to that moment, I think that was the diversity of the experiences that I just mentioned. I think that it was an authenticity to the work that I just have been talking about. For us at Fenton, we really need to mirror the experiences of the communities that our clients serve. And so I can talk about that in a way that not everyone can talk about that. That little girl that you talked about growing up in Southgate and that family is the same person that many of our clients are trying to impact today. And so I think that that was extremely attractive. And I think that, you know, it's not just doing the work, it's doing good work and it's being empathetic and kind. To me, those are things, especially as women, we've been told all our lives are soft, are told all our lives, we need to be strong and hard. And can you still be a badass. Being a badass is about saying, what is your experience? How can I make that better? How can I relate to you? And I think that for me, I see no other way. And I think that that's a departure in what we're seeing in companies from male to female. It just so happens that I also bring the experience of growing up low income, of growing up with a single mom and seeing that not as a deficit, but seeing it as an asset. And something that is a new insight that perhaps others may not be able to really understand. You layer on to that lived experience, the work experience, and you have what I would describe as a real web of skills, right? So strategy, writing, team building, marketing, media relations, community outreach, public affairs, I would argue the highest value players are people like you who have an intricate set of skills. I think one of the challenges then is how you communicate and sell those skills in an interview, right? How you make it clear how those skills work together to create a cohesive vision of what a leader is. Oh, I couldn't agree with you more. I think that the value that you can bring to the table as a Swiss Army knife versus just saying, OK, I can do just one thing, shows agility. And I think in the end that if the combination of producing excellent work, being agile and showing that you can shift, because let's be honest, any role and talking about communications in your field too, you've got to be a Swiss Army knife. And I think that coming from backgrounds where you've had to be agile anyway, you know, and dealing with difficult circumstances that can roll up into who you are professionally. You should be able to move back and forth because that's going to make you more marketable. And for me, I've always been interested in what haven't I done yet? It's a confluence of those skills and what you learn and all those just different ways that you bring and make you attractive for someone to call you up one day, which is what happened to me and said, listen, I know you're running half of our agency. Would you be interested in this? I'd love you to do this. And it was really more about me saying, OK, let me bring out the Swiss Army knife. You know, I've not done that, but I have all these skills. Now I can bring them together. I don't want to gloss over this point, which is this was not on your radar. Someone else saw it in you. When you get the call saying, would you think about this? Did you do the thing I hope you did not do? You said, yes, me hands up. Or did you play a little coy and say, I'm going to need a minute to think about it? Yeah, I actually did not say yes. I said, I will do this in the interim. And I had a plan and my plan was and we should all talk about mentors. I had so many women and men, but women in particular about, you know, this is not something I've done. And just because it's given to me and so many times I tell people and I think as women and particularly as people of color, we think this is my shot. And if I don't say yes, I'm going to lose my shot. And I tell people this and I recently said this to someone the other day. You have to decide what your shot is just because someone calls you. You may not be set up for success. You have to decide if that is your shot. And by the way, you deserve getting the phone call, but maybe it's not for you. Maybe it won't make you happy. Maybe it won't give you the opportunity to thrive in the way that you want to thrive. So for me, I said I did some consulting with the friends. One friend who had been a CEO twice, a woman of color, and she said, listen, I think it's a great opportunity, but it's a lot of responsibility. But more importantly, can you have the ability to do the things that you will want to do? What's your discretion? What does that really look like in terms of responsibility and how does that fit into your life of what you want to do with the vision for the firm? And so she said, do 100 days if you can sort of try it before you buy it on both ends. If you have that opportunity, do take that because then you can see what it really is like, your owner and you, and you will be in a situation where you'll say this is good or I need to make these adjustments or peace out. And our owner, James Marcus, agreed to it. And it was the best decision I ever made. And I couldn't be more honored and humbled to be in the role now two years later. Valerie, what did I miss? The only thing I want to say is that I tend to see in many of my staff members, especially women of color, we suffer from imposter syndrome. And I just want to say to ignore if you can or talk back to that voice when it tells you you cannot. There's a difference between saying, you know what, this is what I want to do. It's not that I cannot do it. I make those choices and to not let that creep into your psyche and take over because we need to be honest with ourselves and know that you have people around you who want you to succeed. Valerie, thank you so much for doing this. Oh, thank you. I really appreciate it. Thanks for listening. Latina to Latina is executive produced and owned by Juleco Antigua and me, Alicia Menendez.

I know a couple cloudy is here and I was gonna tell you to That go ahead and prepare because there's a great possibility or almost just like the Sun rises every day It's probably gonna rain today. No, yeah, but anyway, there's your weather in Naples Yeah, I'm glad it will start doing all of Southwest, Florida. I'm glad we are not in California. Yeah Oh, yeah, my son went through that Because California right now is hit by Hillary. Yeah, but he was yeah But he was talking about how it is nothing but they did have flooding that that's the problem down there But you know what? Are they gonna find something else to complain about? I mean they went through 12 years of drought. He'd probably go like hey, give us a couple of hurricanes You know and fill up all the reservoirs and anything But anyway, you know, I'm so glad people getting pretty good idea what Hillary would be like if she would be a president. Yeah They all they all smell She lost. Oh, yeah, and and I remember somebody gave me toilet paper to heal a picture Oh, yeah with her picture, I put it. Oh, that's so bad. I put it in the coffee I would have saved it for a souvenir. I put it in the coffee shop. Oh nice And oh, it was like it was like a bit exhibit First first friend of mine Chris he went there Just Even out thinking over there I will have it with nightmares. Yeah, just this he was afraid that's okay Anyway, yeah. Well, that's enough Well, I mean it's fun to make fun of it I mean both sides are clown show But anyway, and that just here's how political we want to get we need to come together as a community There are things that we could do that we couldn't you know, it's not like talking about compromise or whatever but people should be able to come to a consensus of what is good for a community and One of the things that we think is really good for the community is to build local businesses because everybody benefits economically There's jobs people go up the social ladder. So there's not that much Argumentation there and then why can't we get together and talk about you know from a local perspective? who we have in offices and commissions and all that to To get people to put in the right policies that make business run smoother more efficient more environmentally sound and these types of things but doesn't you know throw a Wrench a monkey wrench into the engine, you know Simplify things and and get things expedited so that people could work and buy things and get along with their life That's what a kind of politics I want to be involved in. Yeah, does that sound good to you? Okay, I'll take it and I will add to it. What is good for a community is a humor, right? Yeah, yes to make fun of everything you can because that apparently Extend a life span it does and we're talking itself month. So, you know, hopefully we're making you smile I just oh, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna just hit play on these two morons Did you just call me that I called us that well don't know I just did I just insult morons Speaking the health I have to share something with everybody here. Yeah That is something that I experience in whole day So since six o 'clock in the morning, I actually woke up five. I went to sleep 230 so I got a couple hours with sleeping as a new dolphin with one eye open and So I don't know where sleep and then I was scheduled to go to one facility in four Myers and I have to share the experience with everybody and and kind of lift people with You know that that may end up there for different reasons, right? And just wanted to prepare them that that that facility is above and beyond so If you have a little person or a little human child Good child child home and need the assistance with the doctors and you have to be Seeking the medical, you know professionals in the hospital There is a hospital. It's called Golisano Children's Hospital, Southwest, Florida It's a in ninety nine eighty one south health park in four Myers And that's why I end up today drove there one hour to meet. Dr. Michael car, which is Absolutely top Why the arch what he does and I have to tell you we were so lucky to have Him to provide us the expert services which was probably procedure of 30 minutes, but all around took almost all day and Michael car doctor that been practicing over 35 years is retiring So if you planning to have some kind of problem In in the field of pediatric urology you very hurry up because he's gonna be gone and one of the top doctors from Philadelphia will disappear in retirement. You may see him on a beach or somewhere else But if you have the chance to get in his hands for any type of care It's unbelievable you come to the hospital This is this is how I expect if I have to go to hospital or anybody has to go to hospital This is how I expected my experience in some of the hospital here in locally in Naples Never been good. Okay, I have to say that and for many reasons, but this Hospital is top -notch you arrive people smiling on you. You know, the check -in is very smooth They never make you feel nervous or you should be nervous or somehow make you feel like, you know, something is going on especially when This goes about kids So, you know, there's so much that you think of and the kids, you know in an unknown space is it's a hospital So maybe some of them never been there and then you go through all this process checking out before surgeries and everything else absolutely top -notch Every single person from the greeters on the door to the people that will direct you and and the you know Tell you what's gonna happen you receiving throughout a surgery you receiving text messages. It's almost like a post game You know, that's great minute six to his in it. It's not a Artificial intelligence. No, no, they're actually writing the text message to you so if you as a parent sitting somewhere in the waiting room and your kid is Going through procedures you have an idea what's going on and it's almost like a hockey game, you know, he's just like, you know What's wrong? Play those so I don't know much about it. You don't play much with balls anyway Yeah, no hockey is a puck and you've already explained to people that you don't like sports with balls That's correct, so we we got it narrowed down right so go ahead with your hockey illustration So you get a text message, you know what's going on and then every single person on a Third floor every single person, you know in the end everything went well, everything was smooth Everything that we've been told actually happened No complications anything and and you asked somebody to get you somewhere in the secular area They're smiling. They had to get I mean, I just I just told the gentleman that it was opening door for me I said you people here so friendly. I want to thank you home all I want to thank you all of you home with me Yeah, I've noticed it's had a profound impact on you. Yeah, people treat each other. Yeah I'm just hoping that that stuff flows like that that same mojo that vibe that flowed from them on to you Will now go from you and to me. No, I just I'm suspicious. I'm suspicious I remember when I first time arrived in Las Vegas, right and you know, you just like I Put the 25 cents in the machine. I was playing for two hours. I couldn't get rid of And then then I finally like four hours later I got $50 out right and I was like, okay, let me let me step up the game So I went to the table with the roulette and I goes like, oh that was smart. Yeah Yeah, I go like, okay break it down and I asked him for give me ten You know, whatever you call it. Yep chips for five dollars and the guy look at me like what am I doing? I mean, he didn't count on me playing there. He thought I'm just not changing, you know, right so he gave me ten chips and I like very happily put them on the numbers and black and white and stuff and He just look at me roll the ice both three o 'clock in the morning. I was tired Yeah, and he spent in that one quarter four hours One quarter. Yeah, because I was winning and losing really and with one quarter. Yes and Then he spin the wheel, you know The the numbers and the number went to somewhere and I lost and he look at me and I was so sad I was like $20, you know first round. Yeah, and he took the pen and he knocked on this on the sciences minimum bet $50 I Got nervous. He's still laughing Just finish it. I will take it all anyway So the second thing what but then later on, you know Didn't bother me and then later on said, you know what they doing they putting oxygen or something in in the in the air conditioning So people are up, you know, oh, yeah lifted and so happy and and giving you cocktails And playing for hours for 25 cents So I what I want to say if they do anything like that in that hospital because I'm suspicious the oldest people are so happy They must have put something in there conditioning You're gonna just soften me up for the real bill that's coming to your house in the mail in a couple while It's gonna be insurance, but I just met Yeah, but one thing is if they pushing something in the air conditioning I would like to ask them for recipe and push it all over here Yeah, cuz I'd like I mean if it's had a tremendous impact on you today I mean, I'm just hoping I'm receiving the good vibe from you.

Bankless
A highlight from ROLLUP: Friend.Tech | SBF to Jail | SEC vs Coinbase
"Now, Ethereum is going to become Uber. Now, Ethereum is going to become decentralized Twitter. And it just never seemed to kind of click for me. We made some progress. We did episodes like Farcaster, for example, and Len cautiously excited about those and bullish on those when I when I started seeing them. But the question is always, how do we get mass adoption? Friend .tech and this experiment again, I'm not saying it's going to be friend .tech guys. OK, don't hear me. This is a this is a POC. OK, this experiment showed me how it can work in the same way that CryptoKitties showed me how NFT is going to work. Bankless Nation, happy third Friday of August. David, what time is it? It's the Bankless Friday weekly roll up where we cover the entire weekly news in crypto, which is always an ambitious never yet. We persevered nonetheless into the frontier. How are you doing, Ryan? I'm doing fantastic. I'm excited to talk about friends, how you sell your friends this week, because that's what you've been doing. How to monetize friends. Yeah, and then you sold them right after it. That's right. That's topic number one. It's this app called friend .tech that hit, I think, Friday after we recorded the last roll up and everyone on crypto. Twitter was using it. I used it. It's kind of interesting. We're going to talk about that. Number one, friend .tech, this new app. Is it a fad or is it a new paradigm? What else we got, David? Coming up next, we got SEC back in the hot seat after six law professors, A16Z and Paradigm, who both employ lawyers. All voice their disbelief about how the SEC ought to approach crypto and proposes something new in lieu of that. Also, SPF is on the move. It seems like, David, you might now be neighbors with Sam Bankman freed. That's exactly right. This is a factual statement. After that, we're talking about PayPal, Visa all making moves into crypto this week. And then Coinbase futures, Coinbase getting some futures. What does this mean? How is this changing Coinbase's international strategy? If they are allowed to roll their own futures here at home. All of this is coming up as we get into this episode. So make sure to like, subscribe, rate and review wherever you get your podcast so we can get the good gospel of crypto to the top of these iTunes charts or Spotify charts or YouTube, wherever there's an algorithm. Give us a five star review so we can push it up to the top. Guys, before we get in, want to tell you about our friends and sponsors over at Safe. They have a message for you. Safe, of course, is the wallet that everyone in crypto uses. It's one that I certainly recommend. David, what are they rolling out? Yeah, so Safe is proposing their modular open source safe core protocol as the standard way to move forward for the wallet transition to smart contract wallets. If y 'all ever caught my talk at DevCon, there's just universal consensus in the world of wallets and the world of Ethereum that we are going to all have smart contract wallets by default. But that is not the way things currently are. That is the future that we are trying to get there. Safe, like I said, is proposing their safe core protocol as the standard. And so they want you to check it out. It features an unopinionated core standard as vendor agnostic, high component reuse and robust security. This is how we prevent bugs, while also maintaining interoperability and smart account diversity. So there is a link in the show notes to get started with safe core. If you are a dev, they also have a safe con coming up in Berlin, Germany. So if you are in around Germany or around the European area, they are doing a safe con in September. So check out the link in the show notes to get started. Con as in conference, by the way. All right. Not not con as in like a con job. Oh, God, I hate that we have to specify this. What is this industry? Well, this is crypto, David. Let me introduce you. There have been some cons in crypto. Yes, they're in this agenda, actually. Multiple we have multiple cons in this agenda. One of them is living down the street from you, as you just said. And one of them is a conference.
Live Behind The Veil
You Can Choose To Be God's Friend - burst 1
"Welcome to live behind the veil and atmosphere where men and women of God speak his word to this age and bring his kingdom to this earth. Do you have ears to hear and eyes to see what God is doing in this hour? Let us join our host and the family's conversation as the Holy Spirit is unfolding. The word behind the veil. Greater love has no one than this to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends. If you do what I command, I no longer call you servants because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you Friends. I'm on your host, and today we are talking about how, in our daily walk with God, we can make choices, and begin to be called his friends. Imagine a gemologist having all these wonderful rocks they put into a mixer. I forget what they call it. There's a name for it. A tumblr. Yeah. And that's what I was just going to say it tumbles those rocks around. So you get this tumbler and each rock is rubbing and crashing against each other, causing the impurities to come off. It's coming out a nice, smooth gemstone. If you want to get that, you have to find a relationship that you can get close to. I'm not going to tell you to start trusting or start believing it's the best relationship ever, but stick with a relation long enough, relationship with somebody long enough, and you're going to find you're going to disagree on something. It's just going to happen. Because that's what God uses. He uses relationships so that we can help purify one another. If married people understood that over time, they're going to go through something. You're going to have 6 months to a year of a honeymoon time. After that, watch out, man. God's going to put his hand on that marriage and say, okay, why do you love each other? How do you love one another? What's the basis of your relationship? It's those people who determine they have preset that they're going to stick together that they're the ones that stay together. It should create a depth and a deeper love, one for another because you go through it. Once you get on the other side of it, you love one another. The end result of that tumbling process is kind of where you've taken us to Alan. This is something that in scriptures John 15, 12 through 15. Represents that process, the end of that process, and Jesus was talking to his disciples, he said, my command is this love each other as I have loved you, and greater love has no one than this. To lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends. If you do what I command, I no longer, and I wonder what the greater maybe or a deeper translation of that would be command. I no longer call you servants. Because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you Friends for everything that I learned from my father, I have made known to you. I have put you in the tumbler. I have bumped against you. I have ground you down. We've been in this process as you grew with me as you grew with Jesus Christ, as he pounded away on you as he brought down the fire of the he was loving you, and he comes to a point where he can say where his friends. What a greater end of the story can you have, but to be able to say that he has formed you and shaped you in his image, created a new creature that looks like him, all of our responses are like his responses. I just love that. I want to be a friend of Jesus Christ. I want the final finish. Put on the internal me, the one who I am living with God in me. I want him to know me. Yes. So much that I am willing to change. It's a daily choice, a daily initiative. We're talking about not only individual relationships to the lord, but we're talking about a group because you can't do this by yourself. You can't sit in your room and have the lord put you through that tumblr. It doesn't work that way. You have that time with the lord. You have that one on one relationship with him, but then you need to be in a group of people that are also reaching in to have a relationship with them and that's where we get the refinement. That's where the lord puts you through the tumbler. It's really interesting what you said. You made the statement at the end about becoming God's friend. I'm wondering how much you become God's friend when you become friends with Christ and your brother and sister. Because at the end, what's that scripture? What should do to the least of these my brethren? You did unto me. Matthew 25. Tie the sacrifice to the horns of the altar. And you just can not do that yourself. You can not tie yourself to the horns of the altar. It's something that God does. And your brothers and sisters do for you. Yeah, you can't even nail yourself to the cross. Right. No. That helps because you want the help. Yeah. That's a choice. It's a personal choice. Everything, every step in God is a personal choice. This thing of choices is a big deal. There's something in Christianity where for some reason it comes across like this is what you have to do, you need to reach here, you need to do this. That's not the spirit of the lord. He does not cross your will. He will not cross your will. No. Your walk with God is a choice. And every step you take, your initiative to open your heart. And if you are not ready for whatever reason, then you're not ready. If there's somebody putting something on you that makes you feel like I must do this, you really need to seek the heart on that because I don't feel that's the spirit of the lord. Now, he's hard as tender toward us, he loves us. He woos us, he will not cross our will and come down, come down on us like that. It is a choice every step is a choice. God places before us relationships to use in order to bring about his will in our lives. As we submit to his will for us, this is choosing to be his friend.

Live Behind The Veil
Family And Friends Talking
"Welcome to live behind the veil and atmosphere where men and women of God speak his word to this age and bring his kingdom to this earth. Do you have ears to hear and eyes to see what God is doing in this hour? Let us join our host and the family's conversation as the Holy Spirit is unfolding. The word behind the veil. Hello, everyone. And welcome to live behind the veil. I'm Ron your host, and today the family discusses the many different aspects of these deep love relationships in our father's family. No one will need to teach you because all will know the lord. We are just talking about the word. We're talking about the lord, and we're not trying to teach anyone out there. We're just sharing the love of the lord that we have with one another. That's very true. Not like teaching from the old school or bringing sermon from the old school sense of the world. And that's exactly what we're not doing. Right. We have a walk with the lord and we have a relationship with the lord and because out of our relationship, we're ministry to each other and tell us. Right. We just want to share that with each other and with right. You know, I believe it was our last podcast. We talked about the fact that we believe that the kingdom is relationships relating and communicating. That's exactly what we're talking about. I meet the lord when I'm speaking with you guys. Or with others of like mine. And I think that's incredible because he's moving differently. He doesn't come to Gideon and say, oh, man of valor now go defeat the media nights. He doesn't do that anymore. I don't think. I don't think it's a one man show. You know, I think he's doing away with a singular ministry who takes all the glory on the stage. I don't think he's doing that. I think he is communicating through vessels who are just open to communicate and love one another, and share what the lord is doing with them. Right. Basically to me what this podcast is all about is a group of men and women that come together, and they just want to speak what's on their heart. And then, as a listener, you can come in to that room and sit there and listen to the conversation. In the lord can meet you through that conversation, and hopefully he'll meet you enough that you will want to reach out to us and talk to us and create a relationship. That's right. Become part of it. Exactly. That's right. Preaching has never gotten anybody anywhere. No. You know, people come in and make the people sit down and they preach at them and stuff. That hasn't really met the church of Christ. What meets the church of Christ is when you come in and you relate to one another. What could the early church do? They came to each other's house and what did they talk about? How God was meeting them and what they were doing from day to day. That's what met them because my experience is going to be different than your experience with Christ. Right. But they're both Christ. You give me faith. I give you faith. And that faith moves us forward into his kingdom. So the relationship of love is the thing that the kingdom is made of. And that's what we're dealing with, we all respect one another, and we all know that Christ is in each of our hearts, and because of that, when we relate, we're glorifying Christ, and it's an awesome, awesome place. And as more and more of us and others do this, we're going to find the kingdom start expanding on the earth, more and more. Yeah. And that's what our heart crying. Yeah. Right. Our heart cries for the kingdom of God to come on the sir, to displace all other kingdoms. Right. To make his kingdom be the only kingdom on his earth. And we love each other. The love of the lord is so evident in our relationship with each other. I kind of like the word Friends, there's something really important about that said in the scriptures. Jesus really wanted his disciples to be friends. And I feel like as we walk with God, we learn to marry one another. As friends, the part of that love is speaking the truth and love to one another. Right. There's an aspect of it that we're talking about with this fire. The positive side of that fire is at the moment you're going through it, you're hearing this from those that love you because where do you get the wounds? Correct. It's a sign you need to take that as a sign to you that you're not illegitimate child of the lord and not a son. If you're walking through life and God is not touching areas of your life and you don't have people speaking truth to you, especially, you know, husbands and wives and in a family atmosphere and it's done in love and I think if you look at this one scripture, my son do not regard lightly the discipline of the lord. Nor fate when you're punished by him. Right. For whom the lord loves he disciplines. And he punishes every son whom he accepts. It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as was sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline. But if you are without discipline, of which you have all become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. And so I want to take the positive side of this because I know we've seen a brother or sister do something or say something and you pull them aside and you go, hey, you know, that really was it the right thing to do. And then they can take that and go before the lord with it or however they process that. But this fire that God has and that we're talking about is a very positive thing and we need that in our lives absolutely. Yeah. You know, real quick, Jim loop 12 is where you want to find out about Friends. I agree with you completely on that. Laurie, what you're talking about, too, and the fire. It is because God loves us that he puts us through the fire. Right. Did he test us? He puts trials in front of us so that we can come to the other end of it. So it purifies us scriptures talk a lot about the purification of gold. You know, you put the fire to it and then all the dross comes to the top. Also silver, silver is really known for their draws, but it's the purification process. You have to put heat to it so then all the dross comes to the top and you skim it off, and then you do it again and you do it again until the purity of the silver or the gold is evident and that's what God is doing with us. Creating us into his gold and silver vessels. Yeah, I like to go back to what Jim was saying because the thing about friendship. I want to connect that with what Laurie was saying. In my mind, what the lord is doing is he's bringing forth in many membered body. He's bringing forth his family. Although I believe that the lord does deal with us through circumstances, things like that. He does do that. But I think as we progress in the lord, that becomes less and less, the real things that deal with our spirits is from our brother, in our sister, but see, that's not going to happen unless we begin to develop the relationships of trust between us and like Jim was saying friendship. The truth. You just think about it. Somebody comes up to you and crosses your will, and you don't know them from beings. You're not really going to listen to that very readily. You're not going to be open in your heart to that. As we progress in God's kingdom, and this is what Alan started with, the kingdom of God is relationships, not any relationship, its relationships with people that are with Christ, full of God, full of the Holy Spirit. They're very special relationships that the Holy Spirit's created, and those special relationships can minister discipline to one another. We've seen the attempt at church discipline and most of the time, I don't think it's worked too well. I think it's been oppressive, suppressive, because the relationship wasn't at the depth there. There wasn't the deep, friendship, the deep trusting. I'm not saying that's a blanket thing. I'm sure there were some, but I feel like as the body of Christ, this is what we're reaching into is these deep, deep, deep relationships that we can be crossed by one another. And it's not going to be a blowout. Now, no. You don't blow out when your friend comes up to you and says, you know, Jim, that wasn't quite right, which you said. Because Jim knows my heart, he knows I have a love for him in a brokenness, and I'm not being arrogant or trying to hurt him. So that's the type of relationship I think we're entering into. That thing of silver you're talking about Allen. Here's something that's got precious metal in it. John 15 1213. My command is this. There you go. Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this to lay down one's life for one's friends. There is a discipline that we follow in God in Christ, the command that we are to be crossed. We are to be crossed up in our own will. That's the truth. And in doing that, we're laying our lives down for our Friends. The thing of trust versus the thing of judgment, judgment has a bad connotation because basically he's just purifying us as we get more purified we can come into the trust more of one another, and that oneness will start coming forth. Yeah. Unless you have that trust, you're going to react. And you're not going to open up to your brother. But as we come into the purification process, if we let the lord bring out the dross, then we can open up more, and actually start working in this thing that Christ wanted to put on the earth in the first place. Exactly. And that's where the church age has not done it. It's either you're sinning and you're going to hell or you're following all the rules. Or something. And that's not what Christ wanted. He wanted the thing of trust to start growing in humanity. Right. Right. The lord takes a step by step. And it's a young child. He would not allow them to do certain things, and he would discipline, and in one way. But as they grow as they become more mature, as they come into a relationship of knowing and trusting the lord, being able to know who the lord is, who others are being able to trust them, then they're able to open up more. And as you open up more, the lord brings different things to their brief to draw set. And as it draws comes up, because they trust in the relationship that they have, that have been developed for over a period of time. Then, the draw doesn't become a killing point. It doesn't become the issue, it becomes a thing that you just skim off the time. Right. And you become here before the lord, you know, a step by step most dirt as you walk people. Yeah. Yeah. You're talking line upon line precept upon precept. That's what I was going to say. Is that what you're going to say? Yeah. Okay, I just wanted to tie what Ron and what I said and what the others have been saying is that this lifestyle is a choice. Yeah. Not everyone, then there are different levels of walking with God. And different depths. And we're talking about becoming sons and becoming all in 100% disciples. And that's what I wanted at ties all this together. You as an individual Christian need to come to the place in your heart where you desire and choose this. There are so many dwelling places. In the kingdom of God. It's interesting because one of the places of division that has been huge is people think, well, I believe this way and this way is higher and this weighs more and so Lori is saying he goes, what we're holding up here is a very high standard. It's called a sun ship, but guess what? You may be starting out, or you may be walking, have walked with the lord ten years, but you're just not there. Your heart's not there. You know, God hasn't brought you to that place, and that is okay. That is fine. You're not less of a person, you're not less before the lord, he doesn't look at you. You don't look at your child, your two year old, and putting down because you can't do what your 18 year old can do. Correct. Your love just as much. There is no put down. And that's the subtle thing that tries to come in when you start speaking things of sun ship and resurrection life. And all these things that we're talking about, it's not a put down. If you're not there, it's fine. In fact, one of our great mentors told us when you hear stuff and it just doesn't click with you. You're just not there. Don't throw it away, just put it on your spiritual shelf. And the Holy Spirit will bring it to you when it's time for you. You're fine where you're at. I was just thinking, in my house, there's many dwelling places, and you can choose where you want to dwell. It doesn't matter. Once you accept the lord, you're going to have it. And if somebody wants to be there and just accept the lord, that's their choice. It's not the choice I would make. It's because I'm not them. Yeah, and so there's no judgment in it or anything. But if you choose to really become a mature son of God, these are the steps that you need to go, and it's a maturing process. In my father's house are many dwelling places which is true. There are many dwelling places. In the King James it says in my father's house are many mansions. So you can live in the penthouse so you can live in the basement. It's your choice. Today we've seen that the love discipline and maturity comes through these deep love relationships in the father's family. We've also seen that in our father's house there are many dwelling places. Many levels to live on, the question is, which level will you choose? Experiencing the impartation of God's word through his family is life.

"To feel safe. You'll let my kid play without having to follow him, you know, all over the place. You know, I like this defeats. The whole point, like nobody, nobody even checked. I asked her if she was going to check and she waved me all. I think he was walking out and nobody was checking. And he asked the lady, hey, you want to check my wristband? And she was like, no, go ahead. And he said something else about it, and then she stopped responding to him. I should just shut down. And I think that's when he went and got the manager. And it's like, you know, I asked for them to look at the wristband. I used a whole fucking point, you know, and a manager said to him that I'm sorry, sir, you know, we just were understaffed or whatever, something like that. And he was like, do you think that's an acceptable excuse? Like do you? Do you think if one of my boys had gone missing? And I came up here and you guys had not checked, you know, wristbands or anything like that and my child was missing, and you said to me, we're understand. I'd be like, oh, okay. Yeah. I can understand that. You understand, you might lose a kid. You know, it could happen. And when we were talking about it, all of this were dawned on me. It's like, when all is this shit happens, and we see these things, you know, happening with law enforcement and stuff like that. I feel like those are the we get excuses like that. Like, you know, I understand, or, you know, just to, you know, you know, police may follow and procedures that are procedures, being unclear or all kinds of just weird like excuses. For why something happened or reason is the why some happener there may float in any other situation, but it's like Chris Roxy, there are some jobs.

"These communications should happen. Anyway, we leave there, and we go, there's an inflatable Wonderland or whatever in the mall. And the draw to inflatable Wonderland is that one parents are free. You don't pay for it those. You pay for the kids, as real cheap for the kids. When you go in, you get all wristband up, so everybody, you know, we know who was attached to who. Parents can not jump on any other inflatable things. So you got your built in excuse. You about the situation as down, you can go do whatever it is you want, oh, I'm so sorry. I can't go with you. I can't jump with you because it's against the rules, but have all the fun you want. And everybody's wristband up and they got, you know, Gates and stuff so that you can sit there and feel relatively safe that your child can run around and do whatever it is they want and whatever they Tucker themselves out, you collect them. And leave. And then nobody else can leave with your child. That's the whole purpose of the wristband system. So we are nearly in there for a good little bit. Almost long enough to make it to the next show on the movie, but I think that was too much for all the kids, like, you know, at that point it was ready to go home. They didn't want to do. They weren't going to sit still, you know, movie theater. It was getting to be like, you know, bath and bedtime. Type situation. So we had about they played a daughter and one of the twins played air hockey is cute to stay ever, you know, in her Washington football team hat and gear, the pigtails and everything. I got pictures. It was super dope. And so all that went down, and it's time to go. So we gather everybody up. Everybody's the mill downs are coming, so we know it's time to go. It wasn't too much of a chore to get everybody together. But we gathered everybody up..

"So she gets there, she gets here and I'll present her with the stuff. I made her also made her a chefy leisure. Same way I do the merch for the store, I made her a little logo, and I put it on a shirt and I had that, I ordered that so I had all that stuff laid out. And she gravitated straight to the Washington football team gear. So I was excited about. So come time for us to lead to go to the movie, you know, that's where she wants to wear. And this is again like dads make a sacrifice. I'm in Texas. And now I'm about to go to a mall with a rest with a big ass redskin Jersey on Washington football team, Jersey on. My daughter's gonna be watching football team dog and we're going to stand out. We're going to get attention and eyes, and hopefully it doesn't become a problem. But the cool thing was, and she wanted to wear the hat. It was like 85° outside. She wanted to wear this hat and I wasn't gonna say nothing to her about. I'm like, win win. She wears the hat. The hair is covered. If she didn't complain that I ain't got playing it. We bought The Rock design. That's exactly what we did. But yes, that was the good part of the day. The bad part of the day is we get to the movie theater. You know, it's three parents and three kids, 6 year old and two three year olds. And this, I think the two, the two, three rows of twins. This was maybe their first movie theater experience. We was all bracing for how they were going to be able to handle that. And so we get in there. We try to time it so that we're not early at all. We get there, right a little bit afterward we think what the showtime is today. Hopefully, you know, the projectors already rolling, you know, we already watching the little pre show stuff and begin ready to go right into the movie so we can limit the amount of time we try to keep kids still.

She's like, you know, Elise says she's a giant fan. Blah, blah, blah, I mean, I'm probably blacked out after that. I don't know what the rest of the message was. I knew I had to go to my program and I had to be like, slow the anger, you know, you know, slow to speak, you know, don't. Does it need to be said? Is it important? And so I let it go. I let it go 'cause fuck it. It's a little girl and a football Jersey. It's not. It's not the end of the world. But I know that the person that put her in that Jersey that gave her that Jersey. Knows me. They know what I'm about. They know what's important to me. They know what means something to me. I know my ex-wife knows. What I'm about to know is important to me to know what means something to me. So even if she from the area, too, she from the DMV, so I'm like, you let this happen on your watch. Why are you sending this to me? You sending this to me this to me to anger me because I think you know that it will. Whether sure we should. I think you know that it will. And there's nothing I can do about it. That's like the most fucked up part about a lot of these things with my daughter and being a part time that is that when these situations happen, you know there's nothing I can do about it. I can't run over there and be like, I ripped the Jersey off. Not that I would do that anyway. But you know, that can. I just gotta eat that. I just gotta sit there with this image of my daughter and a giant Jersey. Before I've ever had a chance to ingrain the football morals that I want to impart upon my daughter, you know, I feel like it's a purposeful, like, why would you, why would you do that? And if he was going to do it, just don't show me. I was no way I would have to know..

"Hey. Say I was there. I mean, we both learned a black thing. This weekend I knew pink lotion didn't mean put lotion in her hair, but I couldn't tell you I knew exactly what pink lotion was. But so here's the funny thing that happened with that. For whatever reason and maybe some one of y'all can clue me in to what it is that I do to create this because I'm all about assessing my part in things and keeping my side of the street clean to keep me from being in a situation where I feel resentful or angry toward a person. Let me figure out what it is I am doing that's provoking them to act that way. Or if I'm just putting myself in a bad situation around a person I shouldn't be around consistently. But there seems to be this pattern in my life where people enjoy or seek out antagonizing me. People like to oppose me, for some reason. I feel like I'm a target. People like to just fuck with me. And I'd be trying to tell people don't fuck with me. I'm the nicest person in the world. I don't want to get out of character with you. I don't want to be a different person with you. I want to be a nice person. I want to love you. I want to care for you. I want us to be friends. I want you to know that if you ever need anything, you can reach out to me. All I'm asking you to do, and I will tell you all the buttons is to push. I would say you're all the places to leave me alone. You know, don't fuck with me. So, you know, how many huge football fans, football fans, your fantasy football is a big thing for me, I've started leagues, a lot of these, you know, a lot of my friends have participated in the leagues and we'll play.

"Crazy. And then I guess like, you know, she's a black girl with black girl hair and it's a lot of it. And I know, and she don't like for you to touch it. She has an issue with people like touching her hair. She bloody murder. I think she's gotten better with it. She don't do the bloody murder, but you know, you want a clot. She's tense and she's like, I'm gonna, I know you have to do this, and I'm trying to be a good girl. But I can't. You know, you know what's happening. Second imagine, like, fucking with her hair. Is a task. Like it could probably be overwhelmed. You know you gotta do it, but the idea of what you gotta put yourself through is so overwhelming and it's hard to just start. So I get that. But when I picked her up, I was like, what? I was out. You know, I don't know. My mom used to have this thing where we was growing up. Like, you know, in terms of making sure when we didn't want her to dress up, we didn't want her to take care of us and stuff like that. We didn't want her to do she was like, I can't let you go out of the house, looking like a throw to a child, you know, like she wanted us to look like though the way she was like, the idea was, and we was never dressed to the 9s and named brands. Ain't talking. You ain't got to, like, I was having a conversation with my friend and he was talking about buying, you know, like, three year old twins, Nikes, and deeds and stuff. Man, and that's cool. That's what you want to do. But I'm not saying that level. I'm not buying her expensive shoes or expensive clothes because she's 6, and she about to tear them up anyway. But I do always want her to look. Neat. And cared for. I don't want her to look though the way. I just is in my mind, like, throw the weight child. And all I could hear is my mother's voice when I seen them. My mom had all of a sudden saying she'd be like, but you hear look like raps been sucking on. Like that NASA, that's what I saw. I think like the back of her hair was out. Everything else was up and ponytails and buns or whatever the back of her hair was out. And yet, a communication was just it was a tragedy. And I get it to the house. And it's on my mind. I'm thinking about it. And I get a text from my ex-wife saying, you know, she, you know, had to take the back of her hair out and I may need to do something with that. And I'm like, you know, you know, I don't know. What I don't have experience with black girl, hair, other than don't touch it, and they don't swim, and they gotta sleep with bonnet and satin pillows, and all that kind of shit..

"It's just like, you know inviting people over a party because I don't know. You want to tell them something you could have told them, but you got to tell them in a special way or something like that. Anyway, we found out she was a girl. No disappointment, just, you know, kind of like a redirection of energy. Redirection toward you know, preparing for a boy and your parent for a girl. My mom's you know, sent me down. She was like, you know, little boys, you have to let go of, like, you know, they get old enough to a certain point. You know, they start their own families. They become men, they move on and you kind of have to let go of them. And she's like, you know, a girl is going to be a little girl forever. And I'm coming to find out at least, you know, for the first 6 years that that's true. No matter what has happened, no matter what has taken me away from her, that whenever, you know, we link up again whenever I see her again, whenever we get time to spend time together again, I'm dad and that is, like, that's my proudest accomplishment to this day, but yeah, we got together this weekend. And she just has a million stories she has to tell me about everything. Luckily this weekend no Andrew stories. I think Andrew, finally, has disappeared from the picture. You know, thank God for you Andrew. I really started to believe that you caught a bad rap Andrew 'cause he was not even in the picture anymore. Y'all don't go through the same school, y'all hang out with the same circle. She moves to a whole different city, and still for a couple months you was public enemy number one. So maybe your exploits have been a little exaggerated. And you're not as bad to do as you was made out to be I should understand that because I feel like sometimes my reputation, my infamy is undeserved, and the same probably happened to you Andrew so I apologize for all of that. But no Andrew stories,.

Gary Ginsberg Talks About His New Book 'First Friends'
"And there is really a fantastic book that's been out. It's called First Friends by Gary Ginsburg. Who's got quite a pedigree himself. Gary, How are you, sir? Very well, Thank you for having me Well, it's a fantastic book. And, uh, unfortunately, like every other Interview. There's only so much time, so let's jump right in these first friends that have an enormous influence on the president on an administration. Chapter one talks about Jefferson and Madison. Now, this audience is quite familiar with Jefferson and Madison. But Madison Was very, very close to Jefferson. I'm not sure how how much people know about that. Tell us Well, I certainly didn't. I knew they were great collaborators. But what I learned in writing this book is that they were also best friends, and they were best friends for 50 years from 17 76. So when Jefferson died on July 4th 18 26, and what I found fascinating is that they're 50 EUR 50 year relationship with deep it was emotional. It could veer between the serious like whether we needed a bill of rights to the deeply personal, For example, when Jefferson tried to help Madison overcome being jilted by a 15 year old when he was 32 years old, and they were complete opposites as I write, Jefferson was this tall, dashing Huge personality. Madison was five ft four and quite reserved, but it worked in combination and I think it's because Jefferson needed Madison's exacting mind and practical nature. As much as Madison needed Jefferson's bold ideas in large personality, and I think in my book, and I think in American history, it's probably the single most powerful friendship in the history of America.

How to Juggle Your Photography Business and Your Day Job With Kevin Gilligan
"Not unusual in fact my guess is that fifty percent of the industry are made up of part time photographers and i don't think that has changed in the last thirty or forty years. It's always been that way going back to the very early film days. There were so many part photographers out there. That were primarily came out of the educational world. And we're teachers because teachers were often the summer it was logical connection to photograph during wedding season and there were so many photographers out there that we're taking advantage of that time to create some additional income so the challenge today is just the same as it was. Then it's finding balance kevin. What are some of the things you've found work for you to maintain your sanity and and balance when you're when you've got two different challenges like that and two very different careers You've identified a really really important question point There's the obvious in many parts to it for my perspective number one is. I think it's really important to get input and have a discussion with the people that you're close to around you if your you have a partner. You're married if kids. Whoever it is that is really important. Issue time wise to have a discussion with them about you know what are their needs. What is reasonable amount of time for you to be working on this. And i think you have to really do an assessment about you know what your ability to meet all your needs is if you want to keep those relationships happy and i do. It's very important to me that my wife is happy and my kids are happy. So i think about that. And i think that's really important And in terms of balance the funny thing is is that for me for targeted. Not like a second job. It's still some that i love and i'm passionate about. So it's i want to do. And i think when you have a full-time job and other responsibilities what i find is that you know some weeks. I'm doing a lot of work in photography and some weeks. Maybe i'm not doing any little kind of go with the flow with that and you know someone. Someone said to me kevin. How do you get all this one friend assistance all time. You know your your fulltime lawyer photography you know you do martial arts you other things. How do you get all of. And i say i plan things out weeks ahead of time and i give myself extra time to get stuff done and people don't respect my time and cancel on me. You know late or whatever then you might have to cut those people out you know. I have to be particular with my time. And i have to be you know not rigid but i have to stick to that and plan out so that i can do things and i think that kind of planning is really important

Many people do after a break-up which is going to affect whether you get your experience not and when you've been broken up with or you had to break up with them because they were taking it for granted or they cheated probably your first instinct is going to be to block them because you wanna hurt them in some way. Y'all still want to scare them and you want them to think it's over so that they'll react you try and get reaction. You're trying to do something. And so you block or you one follow on from whatever and as i've said before don't do that don't do that. You're cutting yourself off for no reason.

You know it would turn into a crowd control problem billy. Graham was as recognizable as any movie star and and more well-respected. Could he do everyday things could. Could he drive through mcdonald's well he would he would and he really would be on an about. He didn't have security team around him. He was just. Billy maybe have one friend with him but you know. He was recognized wherever he went. I mean this profile could have been a mount rushmore. Such a familiar face chiseled. You know incredible. And so i was with him once at the red lobster having lunch and and so he had a ball cap on. I guess thinking that would disguise him and the funny thing is there was an atheist convention going on at the same time as billy was holding this crusade in this town and there were people coming up to him that were attending an atheist convention because they have the little tag still to be in the convention but they were thrilled to meet billion. He was so gracious to every one of them well anyway so he had this hat and he lost it and then he said to me greg. Could you get me another hat. I said absolutely so. I went down to the local mall. Like i was on a mission from god. I'm getting a hat for billy. Graham now billy basically were ball caps and so i think i found the started thinking was called lids. Maybe but it was. I walked in. It was oh my goodness to any hats. It was so many institute. And then i didn't take the time to find his hat size. And so i i looked and looked i even pray. God helped me. Find the right hat for billy graham. My goodness and i finally chose one. I don't remember what size it was looked like and i went back though telling gave it to me. Thank me and war then. The next day. I opened the paper. And there's a photograph of billy wearing the hat. I said i got him that hat. That's i got him then. I think he misplaced that shortly afterwards. Nikki lost hats quite frequently. And i don't really know that much good because people seem to recognize him no matter what you mentioned in the book that this is an evangelist view of the life of the greatest evangelist history now and there are great takeaways for all of us in learning about village life. What are a couple of takeaways for you as an vangelis. Yeah well. I observe billy very carefully you know. When he was on the platform i would be sitting up there. And i can watch him and i watched him as he gave the invitation and thousands of people would come forward to accept christ and i asked him after billy. What are you personally experiencing physically when you give an invitation and is response was i feel like power is going out to me. And i understand that. Because i've stood on stages in stadiums and arenas and seen many people come forward in urine a definite time of spiritual warfare of the double really attacks. Those who were called to present the gospel. And i think one of billy's secrets what's he didn't take himself too seriously..

Sarah Chalke Talks Rick & Morty
"About what a dream career in acting might be. Sarah Chalke has sort of had it. She's been on some of the best love TV shows of all time, Roseanne. Scrubs How I met your mother. Not too shabby, right? But you know things must be slowing down during the pandemic for actors. Well, not for Sarah. Now she's part of the one of the most popular shows during this pandemic, the animated series Rick and Morty, where she does the voice of Beth Sanchez. I had the chance to talk with Sarah Chalke out in Vancouver, British Columbia last year after season four of the show rap. We talk from her home, NBC. Don't worry, I wasn't NBC hears our conversation. Hi, Sarah. How are you? Hey, I'm great. Nice to talk to you. Where are you? I'm in British Columbia and s O feel like you'd be here. You're still able to work right? You're on Rick and Morty. It's animated show. Are you still able to do voices? Yes, I'm I've been recording three cartoons up here, and it's been such an interesting adventure to find like the most acoustically positive sound And really, that's like a dead sense. You have to find somewhere small and s O. I started out in the lower bunk bed surrounded by every do they and pillow that was available to me and then try taking the kids play tent and duct taping seven moving blankets around it. Um and then you know you're in this kind of like dark space. And then I take like make a stack with like a thing of poker chips and Harry Potter books and then bounced the microphone on top and hope for the best. And I also say that like Beth on Rick and Morty Is not like a A super kid friendly cartoon character like No. Are you worried about your kids here in here and what's going on with mom in the room? So what if he like up and you know you're recording off campus in a sound contained sound booth? Um, so yeah, yeah, that's also been part of this figure out a way to not only keep the dogs from barking, um, and hearing birds, but also, uh, the Children not hearing you. So it's an interesting um Dynamic. They get to have some really loud. Screen time, huh? Get they get to watch their iPad as loud as they want so that mom could say rated r things into a microphone in the bunk bed. Totally. I mean, I was already worried about like my daughter who's three going to preschool and like she loves we have all the Rick and Morty like stuffed animals, and plus, she's and so she'll play with them. If you like, mister Q. B Butthole. Yeah, I don't know how that's gonna go over playing that with other Children. It's been really amazing to see how big Rick and Morty has become, like I remember when it was sort of like this little niche. Animated chauffeur for nerds and for You know, for people who like really kind of sophisticated comedy, and then it just becomes this worldwide phenomenon. And it made me think about your character, Beth. So for people who haven't seen the show, can you tell me who Beth was when you started and sort of who she's become, as the serious has gone on. Yes. Oh, so she's the sort of mother of the family. Um, Rick and Morty is the grandfather of the grandson. And you think you're gonna watch this grandfather grandson? Go on these like wild sci fi adventures. But what it ends up going into is like these real kind of rough family dynamics and on day kind of You know, not just this sci fi cartoon but asking these existential questions like if life is meaningless, and there are infinite universes, does anything really matter? So that's rickon Gordy in general, and then the best starting out kind of that, you know, as the Matriarch of the family and playing the mom and then over time, And as the seasons went on, you find out how much she is like her dad and the fact that when she was little, he had to build her a secret world. Because she was making whips to make people like her and mind control hair clips. As a young girl. You find out that she is kind of a lot like her dad, and and then and then, as the seasons go on. She wants to either stay or leave, And we don't know if she's a clone or not a clone, and that's been super fun to play kind of death. And then this alternate best as well. Space that it's funny like it. Z must be a challenge to sort of play your character and also sort of more sinister. We're like, deceptive version of your character. But it's all the same voice like You're not changing too much, you know. Yeah, Totally, totally. It's been. It's been super fun, and obviously we didn't know at any point that that was coming like we just get the scripts as we get them. We have no knowledge of. You know what's happening down the road in the future, so that part's so fun. I mean, to see like a Rick and Morty script in My Inbox is one of my favorite things because the minds of Justin Royal and and Dan Harmon are Unbelievable. There. So the scripture so smart and so funny and so wild. I love them. It's the number to show in all of North America like we were looking at in the US anyway. We were looking at the survey was conducted in the US to see what TV shows were being binge the most during the pandemic. So number one friends. Friends is number one. Right? Yes, I love it. I'm a big friends fan. And then sort of like the anti friends Rick and Morty is is not know that his number two in some states record is number one. What do you make of it? What do you make of it that during the pandemic, it's gotten even more successful. That's really cool. I didn't know that. I think I think people want to laugh and people want to escape into another world. And I think that it's a You know, a time for For a real need for for comedy, and the growth of It has been interesting to watch kind of through the eyes of comic con over the years like we would go to comic con You're one. It hasn't been released yet. So all the questions were to Dan Harmon about community and then the next year, it was like a couple of weeks walking around and then the next It was like a sea of Mr Poopy bottles and bricks and all these different characters was kind of cool. I get to see how it's how it's growing, but I'm glad it's bringing people less. Is it this time? Is it ever a bit intense? Like I know that I know that Even Dan and Justin, the folks behind the show have had to come out and talk to the fans of the show. Because they could be intense. They could be a bit toxic. That could be a bit sort of awful. Now when we're talking about a pretty small Group of fans of the show, but I can't imagine what that's like to be sort of in it to be in in the show, with all that's going on. Yeah, it is. It is wild. The degree to which you know I can't watch all the little pieces and I am you know, I think that That, you know, I don't. I don't actually read a ton of those, uh, those sites and comments, but I think it's It's cool how passionate people are about it. It reminds me because when you started, I think the first way we all knew you was when you were on when you were on Roseanne and you were brought in court famously, is second Becky. Like one of the biggest shows of the nineties, You replaced the original actress who played the daughter Becky, until the original Becky came back again. From what? I understand you were in high school in Canada, and then it got that gig. Yeah, it was crazy. I was 16 when I auditioned and I I was living in Vancouver and working on a couple things that were filming up here, but really haven't done anything under very much. And and, uh, got this audition and put myself on tape. And, um, I think we even like Mailed a VHS tape, You know, down to the states, and they called and said, We're gonna fly you down for an audition on day were seven of us and all the others were like 21 living in L. A actresses and all of us were doing this scene with Glenn Quinn. Who played Mark back his husband and the whole scene was like making out. You're making out with him. And you're like, you know, get job. The gas station, baby. Come and get it down to the gas station, baby. Come here. That was the same like there's this 24 year old, handsome Irish actor. How am I gonna remember one line and they said we'll let you know within a week. And then, a week later, they called back and said, Okay, come back tomorrow and do a scene with Roseanne and was like on the infamous coach on the set, and they were calling out. You know, camera numbers and having a laugh track and seeing if you could kind of adjust to those elements, and then they called and said, You got it. And Remember going to a party that night and telling a couple people and it just sounded so crazy. Sounded crazy. Yeah. Sounded crazy that you were in. You were in high school, and you were telling people having to be on the number one sitcom in the world. They would have been right to be like They're not. You're not like taking over for someone else like they're gonna not have like It just sounded insane. And we already had, like great seven. We already had, like someone like lied about being on the mini pops. Remember the many pox which were so amazing? I don't I don't know. The minibar like a Canadian band was like a Canadian kids. And you would like You know they would sing covers, and they were dressed these cool eighties clothes and they were amazing and someone in our schools that they were going to be in the mini pops. That wasn't true. So all the sudden I felt this feeling of like I'm lying about being in many parts, and then so then I kind of spread it on our school pretty quick. And then they called me back on Monday morning, and they said We're having cold feet about replacing Becky. So we don't know if we're gonna do it. We will do will pick you if we do it, but we're gonna put you on hold for four months. We're going to tell you in September just got this is jumping. You couldn't be a Minnie Bob situation, right? You're gonna have to go back to all of them ago. No, no, they change their mind like all you have Sara? Sure they did Change your mind. And then you then you find out Yeah. And then s O was my great 12 year and, um And I would go back and forth because they would shoot two or three weeks on one week off. So we would shoot Monday to Thursday. I would get on a plane first thing Friday morning and be at school in Canada on Friday afternoon and then and then fly back Sunday night or stay home for a week if we had a week off and kind of commuting back and forth I'm really interested in people like you who have On gun traditional first big gig like I was talking to Linda Cardellini the other day who played Lindsay on Freaks and geeks, Right? And you know, so there you go. She's her big break. Is this show that considered to be the greatest show of all time and then gets canceled after one season and I said, You know, what does that do for you for the rest of your career, and similarly for you your first Big is to replace beloved Actor. In a show that is the number one show on that, and it was it was controversial. When it happened, it was people couldn't believe that it was happening. And then I wonder if that taught you anything in your career going forward, whether it had hardened to you or heart And you do you think it did something to you? I think both of those things I think, you know, I mean, because Yeah, came. She would least he was Becky from seasons 1 to 5. I was six and seven. She came back for the beginning of eight. And then I came back for the rest of eight. And for nine. And so it was definitely, you know. As a kid. Um, it's you know, it's confusing and hard when they brought her back, and then they called this. Okay. Now, will you come back? And and so that piece, I think, um Was the challenging part of it for sure, And the other piece that was challenging was just going from complete obscurity to going on the number one show, and then you're at that age where gynecology just kind of wanna blend of a sudden that piece of it was it was hard, but they incredible part was the obvious, unbelievable gift of working with John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf and Roseanne and Sara Gilbert and Johnny Galecki and Sandra Bernhardt. And I mean it was It was crazy. It was like stepping into having not really worked out much to working with this top, unbelievably talented comedians and just watching them. Work and what They would do with a script from a Monday morning table read Till Thursday night Tape night. It was such a huge learning experience and so so interesting and obviously You know, open so many doors for me. I mean, I was Like my entire diamonds, girls. My nickname was second package would be like we got second back in the seventies. Really Good. Yeah. Yeah,

Obviously, you can zoom with loved ones everyone at their own table in a different house. It's in a different city, and then some friends told me they have family That's nearby. But they don't feel safe having them over which is exactly the right thing to do. So they're each dropping off a dish. So I make the mashed potatoes. I dropped them at your house. You make the turkey you drop it at someone else's house. You sit down to eat separately on zoom, but you're all experiencing the same food. It's that is so good. It might work. It might have been because either side of the family recipes, but because people aren't doing these large gatherings, unless you know it's a home where everybody already list together.

For most people that is the move when you look like she does with trump even i. if I was happy in their relationship like I can't even believe that this woman is fifty years old like. That's the whole thing but I mean, yeah, I guess. So I feel like what she said was really true. You can't take on the burden of a relationship and if somebody's not going to put the effort with you the way you're gonNA put in the effort with them and finally you're like, okay Su this is my hot body for instagram else will take this on if you're not going to what hundred percent, I don't necessarily think that your thirst trapping to let people know you're single I think as human beings we need validation whether we get it at work or at home are. Like. Raji Behan is getting right now but I think you're going through a moment in your life and there's a big life change. You need that affirmation from people that it's going to be okay and that be you still got it. Again. Exactly what it is, it is a little like. Thirst trap he may be or even if it's not a bikini, you're right it's something that gives you like a positive look some makes you build your confidence because you've got a now face this new chapter in your life and your that confidence to do that, and it's the same way as back before the grab me call your girlfriend and They'll all say like you're so hot don't worry about it.

Hey, I'm saying go and try to let the guy who broke my heart know that hey, I still got it body but everybody used to track back in the day before social media when you knew that your man was going to be at a wedding at a party. You yes. You're normally do you put on the heels. Be made sure your hair was like nicely qua-. People would trumpet in the ninety that was the best is. Did you get Morgan fact me up on this? You do all that work and for whatever reason the X. Show. I've let me let me explain to me. This is the give the audience life lesson that I have learned. No matter what you think his plans might be no matter how heartbroken you are you stick to what you were originally going to do. So you were going to go to the club and you heard he wasn't going you still go because then. He goes after and then you go I bit. They just happened to be so many times stick to your original plans and always look during breakup. No matter what. Then initiative you stick to your original plans and you divert you make sure you get met photo with that one friend who posts every? On the incident. Hold on let me look at that limit looking up. That's. The most fun and miserable time with my entire life. Totally one hundred percent. We all have to go through that phase in our lives I'm. Jamie Lynn Spears is getting real about getting pregnant at sixteen. So Jamie Linton talked to nylon about the Zilly one one reboot and how much her life has changed changed since the show went off the air in two, thousand eight, she says, she found out she was pregnant after the show finished and she was quote mortified to have to tell my parents this and my family this I do not care what TMZ thinks of. Other. CELEBS feel the same way it's it's not the world finding out. It's your family and your friends finding out. It's so interesting because for me if I was in that position, I really wouldn't. Be, so, scared to tell my family because I know they would love me no matter what and I know the support me they would be disappointed but. I would be more afraid to tell the people who worked on my team, my agents, my publicist, all those people who worked really hard to build this brand that was supposed to be so wholesome and was supposed to be one of these things teens looked up to those are the people i. We'd be more afraid to tell. I. would be also more afraid to tell the whole world because that's when the comments of all your insecurities to take over. Securities Will arise whenever you find your pregnant too soon or your self conscious about something or you've made a mistake and sure enough there's going to be a good good chunk of comments on your. Point those out exactly and you're like, yeah, that's how I was feeling. That's what I was worried about and I'm exactly right. I am going to get that hate I against the world that would be more scared of because you said it right most your family and friends. Disappointed they all come around especially when the babies born. They see the baby they say, Oh, you they rally run I mean if I went to my mom and said I was pregnant at sixteen I don't know how happy she would have been with me. She probably would have real I don't know what that would been but right she would eventually. I think have been. Okay. That woman's a little insane I don't know she would have been. So okay with I agree with you guys like your family at the end of the day. Loves you no matter what mistakes you make, and then the then the world judges you even if you say the wrong adjective on TV sometimes so You can't expect them.
You Need a Budget
Are You Just Not Smart With Money?
"Hello. My name is Jesse me this podcast number four, hundred, forty, eight, four, wine ab where we teach you four rules to help you stop it from paycheck to paycheck get out of debt and save more money today at one to talk about that little voice in your head that evil one on your left shoulder. That Naysayer that pessimistic. Little Person That tells you you're just not smart with money. I mean let's examine that for just a moment people tell me all the time. They just see what do you do for a living I say well, I teach people how to gain total control of their money. Now I actually don't say that I usually say something like `I'm in software. And I know I should be better about it. I'm trying but. Say Oh I, run a company it's called you need a budget never goes. and. Then you'll get something along the lines of I do or Yeah I. Just I I'm just not smart with money. What does that even mean? Why the negativity what do you even me when you say smart I think when people say they're not smart with money their religious saying they're not frugal some of the time it means they're just not frugal with money. So maybe you are feeling smart about your money maybe you saved up cash for something you saved up for several months you were I in it. You may be even went on my favorite website camel dot com especially around Christmas time or leading up to Christmas time, and you made sure that you've got a great deal on this thing you'd saved up for and paid cash for A. Now you are smart with money, and then you tell your one friend and your friend tells you that they also saved up for something. The same thing they also said up cash for it over not as many months because they didn't need to because they went to an estate sale where there was a hoarder that only ever buys and then never opens brand new things and one of those brand new things at that order bought never up and was the thing that you'd saved up for for three months that your friend only had to save up for for one month because they nailed that deal and you. I mean you're just not smart with money. That's why I don't like the whole smart thing. You have that one upper friend no matter what you say they're going to be smarter just let it be although I knew someone that was. Way Worse, than, that. It's one of my favorite jokes so When it comes to being smart with money, what we're really going after is is your money doing what you wanted to do, and if you become very clear on your priorities crystal clear on what you really want your money to do. Then when your money is doing what you really want by definition, it's doing the smartest thing it could possibly be doing so you might say, Oh, I need to optimize this debt pay down I need to use these credit cards and do this or that thing and maximize points, and you might be one of those like ever optimize. People. That's fine. But at the end of the day, the best definition for are you smart with money is you know what you want your money to do and your money is doing that thing we often say. If you take care of the inflows and outflows everything takes care of itself. You are your best financial adviser. Because budgeting zero based budgeting giving every dollar job that's our first rule doing that, of course, looking into the future, taking larger, less frequent expenses back into the present, breaking them up into manageable amounts, and then comparing your future versions of want our future selves wants versus your current wants and then sitting there saying which one do I care about more that exercise alone along with rule three where you're rolling with the punches as you get new information, you're changing your mind. And might as well say rule four, we're giving yourself a little breathing room, your aging, your money. So you can make good decisions all of that those four rules they're just a framework to help you one. Assign your money to make sure it's really doing what you want us to do. But maybe more importantly, those four rules the why not budgeting methodology Actually help you figure out what you want your money to do. and. Once you've figured that out, you can't help but be smart with money
The Cut
I Guess It's Time to Move?
"I gave everything away. One friend took my Ottoman another took my copy of the collected works of Joe Brainard. And unloaded it all in handoffs in the park where I'd played the object between us, and then my friend would take it in their arms. My possessions became the conduit for our intimacy because I couldn't hug them goodbye and I couldn't throw a party. I was moving during Cova D-. It felt like a bonkers idea to move right now. Although it seems like a lot of people are doing it. In this time of enforced stillness, there is so much motion. I moved I moved I moved. Yeah. I did lose during covid from Washington DC. To New Orleans across the country from. And everything I've ever known to the House of my dreams to my parents House Boston to Aspen from Florida to Wisconsin from the area to a big college town in the Midwest I bought a house and moved into an during the pandemic. The. Best part of it was the houses on corona drive, but it's also just been strange per. Hard, to get furniture. Pretty alone. And pretty trapped for me. It's meant. Taking a lot of walks and bike rides often with no particular destination mine, it's been it's very difficult to meet new people and hard to connect to people. I, would see people that I didn't know and wonder what it was like to sort of know those people know the people of this place very much expecting to transform into some. What do we all have that fantasy as moving into a city where no one knows we are becoming the best version of ourselves and that's really not happening right now. The first night the taxi drop me off at my apartment I may as well have been in Toronto or Chicago. The summer heat was homogenising and the museums and theaters and restaurants that had meant New York to me were shuttered. There was nowhere to go beyond the strange new building. I called home. What was this city just beyond the confines of my apartment? I WANNA? Say the thing that really makes a city is the people. But that's the element that really broke my heart. I text a friend like Hey I'm in Brooklyn do you want to hang out? And then it turned out so many of them were moving away. So many of them. Yes. So what the hell away you live included in this mass exodus is my new CO worker at the cut Madeleine. I. I just sort of decided to leave. We're sitting on Mattie stoop in Brooklyn but this week. Mattie is moving to Austin Texas. I knew a couple of people in Austin it sounded really cool. I've never been but I never have been. But. I was like, why not seems cool. I could never take a risk like this. I feel like I was only able to move to New York because I'm from here and my family is still here I had a job here and I planned it all out although Mattias still working for the cut but she can just log onto slack from wherever I think it's cool to be like. To just start a new life and be like, what is it GonNa be like, who am I going to know? Where am I going to go? What's IT GONNA look like. Those uncertainties are very exciting to me. I mean, yeah I definitely felt that. Moving to my new city felt like having crush. But. It was kind of the crash where you don't really know someone and then suddenly you're imagining what your grandkids will look like. Definitely have an image of myself. An outdoorsy person. I'm going to have a car for the first time in my life, which is huge. So I'm like just constantly picturing myself driving around. It's like I can be a new person like you know in this new place that can be whoever I want to be. Although I've heard it said that everywhere you go. There you are. I don't really know how much one can actually change in a new place especially now. Like when I first moved here in the summer I kinda did all the same things? I. Did back when I lived in Oakland I, biked around ad in the park I took a covert test I cooked my dinners at home. I made this podcast in the closet. You can't completely escape your old self in some ways. It's just you in a different room, the of just like logging on. To slack and having everything be exactly the same when I'm in a new city in a new apartment like have gone through this huge change it's just gonNa be so weird.
