There's a lot wrapped around who you are and what you've brought to the table, man, and just some extraordinary things that I've heard, you know, far as the way that, you know, you're affecting the inner city on helping others. Yes, sir. I think that's so important, you know what I'm saying? These are the shows that I have a good time doing. You know why? Because I know that the work's being done. Yeah. You know, and you might get mad at me about this, but I'm gonna say it, because I'm just, I'm kind of wondering what they call a radical. Mm-hmm. You know, I don't even feel it in, like, just a lot of time, the churchgoers and stuff like that. People going through the motion, but nobody's helping nobody. A lot of times, man. I think we pass the church up going to the church. Yeah, you're right. So I just love the fact when I get somebody in front of me who say, look here, man, I was over here and I did this and I did that, and hey, man, we trying to help this, and you can go over and see the structure over there. See, I ain't got time to play, man. I'm getting older now. You know what I'm saying? So I really want to talk about what's going down. Mm-hmm. See, I'm from the block. So when you're from the block, I know what it is. If I ain't making no money, I know I ain't making no money. So when we was living out there for Satan and doing all the crazy stuff, we were being productive in it. Right. You were. Right. I don't know about you, but I was real productive in my life. Yeah, before I got saved and before I started believing in anything, I was being productive in everything. You're productive. This ain't about me, man. This is about you, man. Mr. S.F., man. Tell us, man, just a little bit about yourself. Where you grew up at? Did you grow up in Atlanta? I grew up in Atlanta. I'm originally from Seattle, Washington. Wow. Yeah. Seattle, Washington. Yeah. I had four uncles up there. One that only got one now. Mm-hmm. Four of them, three of them. They was older, man. They was my... Yeah, yeah, yeah. They... Yeah, they was tough, boy. They sang. Them boys could sing, too, boy. They had a little group. That's probably why I can sing. Yeah, I can sing, too, like them. They didn't know I could sing. No, I knew he can sing, but I didn't know his uncle's son. See, it's in the below. My uncles can sing, man. They was, yeah, they used to go around and have that look. What they called it, the quintet or quartet. Mm-hmm. They would go around and sing, man. Seattle, Washington, though. Yeah, sure. So, how old were you when you moved down to Atlanta? I got to Atlanta when I was 12. 12? Yeah, yeah. So, I got down when an outcast was big, all the face had jumped off. Say, man, look, man, I'm coming to talk about music, bruh. You ain't even... Now, don't do that, man. I'm a music guy. Yeah. I get excited when you start talking about different things, man. You say when outcast... What was it? Play-offs? All the play-offs. Play-offs? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. But why the move to Atlanta? My mother wanted something different. She wanted something different. We grew up in inner-city Seattle, area called the CD, and pretty much where all the black people were in Seattle when I was growing up. I grew up in the 80s, so I remember what it was before Crack Hit, and then what it was after Crack Hit. Before Crack, everything was cool. After Crack Man, when Crack Hit, it was the man that would beat a butcher on the street, cutting your meat, all of a sudden it was breaking in your house. So, it was a big difference. My mom was like, now we got to get out. So, she started cleaning houses. She started cleaning houses, Mercer Island, a lot of wealthy areas. And that was where I started getting my dream from. That's where I started seeing how other people lived and she started showing me what I could do. But where was your dad at doing all this time? My dad's a businessman. They just weren't together. So, my dad was living a different life. So, he was he still in Seattle? No, he's in California now. But at that time? Yeah, he was. Oh, because he didn't make a move with y'all? No, he did not. No. Okay, so you didn't get to see him as often? No, once I came to Atlanta, no, I didn't. No, I didn't see him often. Maybe once, maybe twice a year, maybe. How was that for a young boy as yourself growing up and not having a father figure, you know, in your life? I was pissed. I was very upset. I was very upset not to have my father in my life. Part of the reason why I fought so much as a kid because I knew I had a father. I knew he was alive. I knew he was a great man. Right? But he wasn't in my home. And so, I was very upset about that. And so, that's why I would get in trouble at school a lot, which is how my mom got me to martial arts and all that to keep me from getting in trouble. Were you ever angry at your mom for that? Because sometimes kids would be like, well, you took me away from my dad type of thing. No, I wasn't angry at my mom because my mom was the one that was hustling making it happen. She was going to make sure we had food on the table so I could never be mad at her. I was mad at him because I was like, hey, regardless of, man, you're supposed to be around. You know, we moved to Atlanta and you moved to, you know, whatever. You know, you got this, you know, I'm a cub in the jungle by myself trying to figure it out. Statistically, I'm not supposed to be alive as a black man. I'm not supposed to make it past 1825. So, I was very upset. Right? And we were dealing with racism as kids. Any siblings? Sorry? Any siblings? Yeah, I got a lot of siblings. A lot of siblings. I got a lot of siblings. By your mom or by that? Well, by my mother, it's my sister, April and I and my dad, yeah. A lot. Yeah. Dad's a little different, yeah. Yeah. But when you think about just the Atlanta move and seeing the culture of the music, as soon as you came into Atlanta, you started talking about the music because this is something else down here. You know, these guys, man, they, even when the turn up was in New York, they still was making waves down here. Everybody was still down here doing their thing. Jermaine Dupri, he was one of the patriarchs. That's what I call him. Yeah. He started just staying off. You know what I'm saying? He was, yeah, Chris Cross will make you jump. Jump. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And he was, and I always thought of him as a rich kid. I'm like, Jermaine Dupri comes from money because I heard all the stories that he came from money. Okay. You know, I don't know if that's the truth, but that's what I had to make it true. Right. But in my mind, I'm like, this cat come from money and he was trying to help everybody else in the hip hop. You know, even though hip hop started on the East Coast and migrated to the West. Right. When he hit the South, he was the one, before it even trickled down to the South, he was one of the patriarchs. Yeah. For me, you know what I mean? Along with J. Prince, of course, but you know, Jermaine Dupri, so being in Atlanta, how did that music and the influence of him, we don't get into everything else. I was 16, 17. And yeah, yeah, you thought you was cool. You got, yeah, yeah, yeah, somebody let you borrow a car first. Absolutely. That's how you started. That's how I started. That's how I started. Yeah. And you, and you, you surrounded by parties. Yeah. So what, what was that like being a teenager and just going to school here in Atlanta and yeah, you play, yeah, I already know you. Yeah, you had walking girls doing man. Yeah. Uh, growing up in Atlanta was a ball. Uh, the music was, was great. Uh, like I said, I was, I'll cast TLC. I mean, he had Dallas Austin. He had ABC.

I'm but I remember these nights, you know, I mean these happened. Yeah I don't know how to do it down here, but that was in Dallas They got something going on so man, you know, um, just uh Just thank you for coming on the show first and foremost. Um, I've had fun. Yeah already We just got started we need ten minutes and just I went all the way into the fact of I'm having a good time with you Yes, but the thing that caught my attention was when they said that you now At this time or helping the foundation helping kids I want to get into that a little bit just how did you make that transformation into doing what you're doing? What made you say I want to I want to be a part of something to help and has that always been a vision of yours? So I'll start with the answer to that question first The answer is no, I never wanted to work with kids at all. No, you want to be a rapper? I had no passion. I want to be in business I Mean my mom was on some totally different man. Yeah, I had nothing I didn't want to work with kids at all I had zero passion to work with kids and so what happened I was serving at my church and Like it's happening in self-defense and stuff all my life And so they would put me and the children's ministry and I would get mad about that And they would just put me back there and then I complained and then he put me back there And I complained and then they listen and they'd be like I'll be here you brother And then they put me back there. I knew something you didn't they knew something I didn't yeah, and I mean I couldn't stand it. I mean I could not stand being there I want to be somewhere else want to be down the sanctuary and one day a brother came to me He said man, let me tell you why we got you here He said, you know when these parents come and drop their kids off They need to know that kids are safe They said and if they are concerned about the safety of their children, they can't get the word They're not gonna be able to understand it won't because they focused on their kids They said when they see you they know their kids are all right. And so that gave me some understanding about still didn't like it And so what happened man is that the market changed about 2008 I was in real estate at the time I was doing finance couldn't get people financed for deals and a training buddy Mine was like a man look we can open up some schools start teaching some people martial arts Now my aunt and my cousin were murdered when I was about 16 17 domestic violence situation and I had always promised myself how I do something they honor and It was 10 years from that time to the time that I started and I it was just a seed in my heart You know, so when we started teaching women self-defense that's that seed started coming out the ground and from there We just started finding a need right I just there was another need another need You know, how do we keep servicing the people because I took it for granted I thought that there was everybody was working with youth and helping the kids out, but they weren't Yeah, so, you know when that When that happened and we saw there was such a big need it was like, okay Well, we got self-defense classes going. All right. What else do they need during the summertime? There was no youth programs. So I mean, how's it know you programs? We grew up in the Boys and Girls Club the YMCA So I thought they had it on lock there weren't none. They weren't enough like, okay Well, let's open them Camp Worry King. And so things just kept kept opening up. Wow. That's dope man. Yeah, so The foundation let's talk about them a little bit. Okay, what which one what came first? You got a few things going on, of course. Yes, sir What came first was I am defense Okay, and I'm defense is I'm defense Institute for women and children and that teaches women and children how to defend themselves against an Aggressive attacker. Wow. So that's you know, pretty much helping women in domestic violence situations Out on the street, you know, we teach them how to shoot, you know Young kids teaching them how to defend themselves in school from getting beat up You know talking about things so that they safely a lot of them aren't getting it at home You know what to do if you walking down the street somebody wants naturally in the car How do you keep that from happening to yourself? Right keeping yourself from situations where you know bad things don't happen to kids because pretty much the problems in the world Effect the children it's like, you know, it rolls downhill, right? So it affects the kids so trying to help them to get themselves together So if I am defense when King can't worry about that Did you have to get certified to be able to coach and teach self-defense? Well, I've been a martial arts for for a very long time. So I was already a black belt. Absolutely. Yeah, six degree black belt I'm Keto and taekwondo and I know wait a minute, man I looked over and I said, what the nigga says? You know, but you know, I don't know what color of my belt. I didn't got a belt. I only knew what color So when I seen y'all said, let me go over there and grab the nigga by his neck But some of my spirits they don't do it Oh, yeah, man Oh, man Um, but yeah, I've been doing up my whole life, you know, and then got certified You know firearms trainers certified rifle trainer, you know those things to be able to teach women different skills. Wow Yeah, and so then came like I said camp worry King Because there wasn't a camp that was doing it how we felt it should be done where kids got exposure to activities Yeah, that they normally wouldn't experience during the school year. How do we keep them from, you know, selling drugs? How do we keep them from, you know, how do we keep them? Engage in something positive as opposed to something negative and the way to do that is to expose them to things They may like, right? So we teach them how to shoot right because kids want all about guns So we teach them safely how to shoot how to fish, you know, 3d archery playing saxophone guitar piano canoeing We take them spelunking we we take them on field trips all over the region. They do when did you start all of this? Uh, because I know the first one was self-defense. Um, when did that what year did that start? Uh, that started, uh About 2007 2008 y'all started part-time 2007 and 2008 is about full time. When did the kids start? Uh About the same time about a year or so after that. Okay. Yeah about a year or so after that And have you seen the increase because I would assume that there would be an increase during the pandemic Especially for the self-defense because you know more women are at home walking and they'll feel like they need that safety Right. Um, well, what we really saw increase in is the is the camp Appearance is like get these kids out the house We get them out the house, bro I wish I could have got mine up there, you know Man get them out. Yeah, I'll send them right on up there man. What precautions were you taking during the pandemic? Uh, well the so the first year well last year in the first hit, uh, we were gonna open up everything that's ready to go and The first day we opened up hit my spirit out. It really wasn't we didn't want to risk losing the child Was the thing, you know, I didn't want to be in a situation where one child was lost You know, that would just never be the same. So we shut down. We was like, we're not gonna do it make sure the kids are safe. So Next year this past season 2021. It was bananas. Uh, we had more kids than we ever had before. Uh, I mean it was lit. That's my OG big red We did the celebrity basketball tournament and all that and it was just it was crazy. They had to get to I think when we was down there, they was getting ready to do that. What that's what I was telling him Yeah, yeah, we had to leave you man They said basketball and I thought about back in the days You know how I did you in houston I'm just saying You know, I want to take our college You don't want to do your husband like that And stuff like that. You gotta let him win sometimes. You let him win Dang man, I could have been. Hey man, we're one of them niggas man Hey, I thought I had something One of the boys man. Yeah, you know, I had a hike for it, but you know, yeah, I Yeah, I'll shoot a nigga lights out. They shoot the lights out. You can text us too. We call it a little text Little text shooting the lights So, you know, when when you get a child that's dealing with anger, um And then you start to teach him, uh, like, uh, like, uh, you start to teach him martial arts What the do you give me some instances where that child Take on take to it and you see, uh, the production level change for us in the school and just in its everyday activity Because this is the stories that we think happen when it comes to martial art. Is that a true thing? It's very true The first thing you see the biggest difference you see is is their confidence increase That's the first thing right because now they're, uh, they're not afraid of Walking down the hallway or You know any situation depends on what the parents really want to work on Uh, you'll start to see their discipline improve. You start to see their focus improve Which means you're gonna see their grades improve almost immediately when they start coming to the classes Yeah, because the the whole thing is is uh Is is discipline when they come to a martial arts program The whole the key is discipline that the kids have to start having discipline when they start having that discipline They start to learn when they start to learn they start to perform better when they start to perform better They start to believe in themselves. So they start to do more. So Let's say a kid was concerned about somebody beating him up in the hallway. They're not as concerned no more Right. They almost want to be tried. Yeah Yeah, yeah, that's what you ever had a child that um Has been bullied. Yeah, and then came to you. Yes got disciplined learn what he had to learn but Went to go beat somebody back up or revenge. Um, I'm pretty sure it happens. Uh, a lot of times what happens is uh You had a kid that would come back and try them again Right first time to try them and maybe beat them up or something like that And then that same kid comes and tries them again and then the outcome is different Okay, that's normally what happens or that kid that you've been training Go off the deep end and he out here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's like uh on karate kid Right, you know the one what was that the kinslay name the one that was in the the place to mean when you had Uh mr. Miyagi, but the other one he used to teach and he did not play when he come down to teaching them Oh, yeah straight activator Killer when you see somebody Yeah You got it man. Cobra Kai man. So have you ever had a kid that was uh, um Just overly aggressive. You had to tell me I'm not gonna train you you can't do that or you know Pulling them back or pulled the reins back on him. Sure. So you get kids like that all the time that are overly aggressive They can fight and uh, and that's a good thing that you want to have that confidence the way that you deal with it Different ways depending on the kid Normally, you just let them start sparring everybody right because eventually what happens is that you're not gonna beat everybody And you're not gonna beat everybody over and over and over again Eventually you're gonna get tired. Well, so there's ways to deal with it. I like that Yeah, there's a way to deal with it because the whole thing is is you want to keep them humble so they don't hurt themselves Right, I mean you you can think you bad Right here, but you can go out in the street, man That's somebody never done it before in life man and to beat the brakes off you, you know So you don't want to be that kind of person that's overly arrogant Uh, especially walk out telling people what you know because they're gonna be like, all right, let me see it Right if people didn't want to see right. Well, let me see what you can do then. Let me see. I've never heard about it Right. So, um, yeah, that's how you deal with that. Yeah I work with a guy man one time. I didn't like this one guy's name was tim shot out of tim Lopez Man, we're still doing that thing. I ain't seen you nico But I I mean I didn't like some of the stuff you do. I loved him We would go out and stuff together, but I didn't like some of the things that he would do and uh One time man, this guy There's another guy Run was his name and run knew I knew he was about a I don't know way up to grief black belt He run every day and I knew it and I'm so, you know, I'm just being I'm being facetious But I'm really tripping on the fact that hey this guy He I'm a woman when I see him. He didn't know it. I knew it. I said man I say when he come you gonna grab him as he said, yeah, I'm gonna grab him and man I'm gonna hit him in his eye And he didn't do it, but I still wanted to see what that I knew he had been working Now he's like this hell of a fighter. I heard, you know, I've never seen him get to operate Oh I have tons of stories like that had another friend that was a boxer And uh, yeah one of the other partners. He said he was gonna jump on him and I'll say really And man, I know he was a little dude though, but the dude was bigger. Yeah taller and everything the one that was the one Who say I'm gonna whip him? Man that dude man, he did Curtis is dead now he died But man, he whipped that dude man a little bit of dude. He got slammed by four times Boom he kept getting slammed and and and when he would get slammed he'd get back up and you're He went to work this man, what happened to you y'all man, you know ideas man, and he got into it man Like But the mom was out there, that's the bad boy with mama out there The one she was saying get him, but he couldn't get him Man, he got me in front of his mama. Yeah. Yeah, that's no good So what did you first learn? Hey, man, I can fight like like I mean I want to be in the martial arts Uh, it was one. I really I like martial arts. I like watching on tv Uh, my mom too I think she didn't try to put a few moves on me But so so that's how you got into it. Yeah, that's how well my mom Yeah, my mom got me into it because like I said when we were growing up I mean his gang started coming up everywhere in seattle. I mean people like man, there's black people in seattle Yeah, there's black people in seattle. There was gangs in seattle because it's coming from la from demford They was coming, you know So, uh, she put me in martial arts to keep me busy. It's how it started So I used to walk from I used to live in brian manor And be walking brian manor right up to the boys and girls club and I would go do martial arts And so that's how I started and all and then I went and did martial arts somewhere else And I just kind of stayed with it, but I was interested in the tv part I didn't know nothing about the discipline part and all that how hard it was going to be Uh, but it was good for me. Who was the who was the best bruce lee or chuck norris? Oh bruce lee hands down. Wow. Um, what about that? Be okay. Well, who was it? Who's the time? Well Chuck Norris gonna say that because he's gonna be, you know, when he was living he's gonna be Modest about it. What about that big chinese guy with all the muscles? He told my bolo bolo was a beast. What a bolo was a beast Yeah, he was he was a tai chi master if i'm not mistaken. Yeah And if i'm not mistaken, I believe bolo was deaf as well. I'm not as that. I heard that too. Yeah. Yeah He was called war two. Well, what about Jackie chan and bruce lee let's go I'm tired of playing with y'all. Oh man. I'm gonna tell you something. Jackie chan had a drunken uh drunken something Oh man, that was a hell of a movie. You remember that? Yeah, I remember before he became the comedian before he became the comedian Yeah, Jackie chan is dope though, man Even after the comedian right here after the committee he laughing whoop your butt man Well, I gotta ask you a question about him because he was in the news Wasn't yeah, but go ahead and tell me who was the best first Yeah, I started to give it to bruce man all day. Yeah, that's because he did y'all don't treat I don't go with that. I use he get a little leverage because he depends away. Yeah, so so Yeah, so uh, Jackie chan said that uh, what did he say right? He talked he said that um, he would give away all of his money He wouldn't give it to his son. He actually said this and he if he passed away because he don't feel like he just He deserved it That's cold. Wow Really? And he's worth three hundred some million dollars. He said I don't feel like my son is worth it. I'm gonna give it to charity Yeah, it must not be worth it then. I mean, I don't know man. I just feel like for me Yeah, I'd have to do a trust and I'd have to because if you have grandkids or something Right, I got to get it to my grandbaby. Right. Right. You want to stay keep it generational If I have to skip him, I figure out a way to give him his portion while he's here But to get it to his children, right? Absolutely. So I don't know. I don't know about that. That's something that's the thing to say Because I got grandkids now man. Y'all if y'all didn't know I know I look good, but The man got to keep, they young, but they still mine and uh, yeah, I would want to yeah If I want to skip a generation, I can do that. Yeah, I think it might make his son get right though I don't know if he gave the money and coming to you might want to fix some things You think he was playing reverse psychology and he was just saying it just to get him to do some stuff Hey, son, I better hope so Because you know, I ain't right if you had three on a million boy. I'll be a saint I don't know why would you I don't know what I was thinking. You know Out of the body experience probably wouldn't even mean I'm sorry and every year he'd be Wishing like, okay, when are you gonna go right? I can't keep up the charade for the long No, the first thing I do is I'd have to uh, you know, I'd do like gundy. I'd I'd practice not speaking You know, this is gonna stop everything Because I'm always messing up because my daddy ever definitely don't like what I'm doing So I wouldn't say nothing. I'd be quiet.

I can't do that, which I'm a PMC fan. So Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, you heard that story born be told the other day on beehive He told about how uh, that that big pimping song when they were always on the boat and they were doing the video And uh, he said and I'm a don't man. Pimp see is something else But anyway, he said that uh, what happened was he said Pimp wouldn't go with him But the girl that put in the video ended up being at somewhere in my in uh, uh, Atlanta With him. Oh, wow. So they ended up driving down to Miami to do the video. She was just on the beach Because he didn't he didn't want to be around Jay-z. Neil. He wasn't with that all that. Okay. So basically, uh, He comes out and I'm telling the story. I'm paraphrasing. But anyway, he says, uh, He had on a meat coat. Remember that? I do and Jay-z. Neil asked that boy say, uh, Man, you know, it's hot. I didn't got on me Say that boy told him man temperature ain't got it's a TV ain't got no temperature Hey, so I'm a pimp regardless. Jay-z. Say man, that dude a star man. Yeah, you know, certain people have that it factor You know what I'm saying? So Jay-z was one man. I seen some dope pains today of Jay-z and uh, his uh, His wife and just uh, what was that? What was that artist named? Baskia Jean-Michel Baskia That's a dope part is you're gonna look that up because we learning here. Yeah But anyway, we've seen some uh, uh, some just some things that alluded to basquiat pains and uh, man, uh, Jay-z Um, he is one that changed the dynamic for us for entrepreneurship You know how much influence hip hop has had on our culture for entrepreneurship a lot of people talk down on Hip hop but hip hop has changed the narrative for a lot of black families man. Absolutely I mean it changed and all over the world people have gravitated to it all over the world man and inspired by it You know, I mean, I mean you inspire about the story. I mean, we're inspired by the story I mean, you know, you see them you don't see how many lawyers you see coming out You know inspiring people and like you can do this and do that. I mean you inspire about a story It definitely has what do you think about uh, when you hear stories about uh, young doff and just getting gunned down like They're going to get some cookies. I think it's unfortunate. Yeah, I think it's incredibly unfortunate because man had a family You know your wife and kids and uh And it's that part of it that that gives the the whole story a black eye if you will, you know It's that you know, the brothers are getting gunned down Whereas, you know We need brothers like that to continue to be alive to continue to have a positive influence on the youth to continue to You know do positive things. I think it's really unfortunate. Wow, man Yeah, it's really just a big big loss man when it come down to the hip hop culture and And you you know, I could say you see the nipsies and you see you see all this cloud of darkness over That whole regime when it come down to I think it boils down to You speak things into existence. Sure. Absolutely. I think what you say becomes you right? What you say becomes the bible would say so as a man think of being as hard So is he man Yeah, and I mean and that's another part of it. I mean when especially when we're talking about youth It's getting them to speak positive words and say positive things, you know, if you're saying You know you They never played lute evangelist going to a drive-by You know, it wasn't Else man music is something else. Absolutely. You had a book you you had some things you was about to share with me Yeah, let's talk about it. Okay Well, I got a few But before we're talking about the power of words Uh, these are called the success stacks. It's a team hot sauce success stacks. Okay And these are words and phrases that improve a child's self-efficacy. Wow Okay, and how did you come up with these? Uh came up with them is really something I was meditating on man. Like, okay. Well, what's next what's needed? You go open them up and check them out It's about 65 words and phrases and has the characters on there a team hot sauce And it's just different words because the whole thing is is that what you have what you say So if a child learns a word like perseverance what it means Right, what that word means and start using it in their everyday vernacular Then you're gonna see that child change. They're gonna start saying, I mean, I you know I could persevere through that challenge as opposed. I think I'll make it that makes your child more marketable It's gonna make them more confident It's gonna give them a greater sense of self and it's gonna make them a more uplifted person around other people So, you know, it's something of this bro. Yeah, so and you came up with this. Yes, sir. And and and um, Can you buy these or yeah? Yeah, you buy right on You you gotta go. How's that? You are you marketed them? Yeah, you know marketing is important, right? That's the most important thing That's the most important thing. Yes, sir. Yeah, call it a hot sauce success stacks. Wow. Yeah, this is dope, bro I like it man. Sure. One the first card I pulled out. Yeah the zeal zeal The Bible says zeal it says uh, uh, uh that uh The people had a zeal for God, but not according to the knowledge Chapter 10 of Romans. Mm-hmm. You know what I mean? Yeah, they had a zeal for God There's so many people today have a zeal for God, but not according to the knowledge. Yeah. Yeah, yeah Yeah, they they say we love God. You can ask everybody. They love Jesus They look but when he come down to it They say it But their actions kind of don't look the same as what they say right because they love God The way they seen God loved. Yeah Did you hear what I just said when they seen God love? That's the only way they could yeah Because if you don't read, yeah, you got to read it In order to understand it and even get a you know, get to get revelation. Absolutely. So a lot of times people They love God because of what they seen A perspective of how God should be loved So they don't read but they say we did this or we did that and they don't have no knowledge But they say I love God man. We've been going over here and doing this forever But they have no knowledge. No Paul thought it upon himself to say the people that was of what Israel They had a zeal for God, but not according to the knowledge You're Which means that they're not getting the results they want. That's right And they were still going by the old covenant way. So it gets deeper, bro. I just love the word man. You know Yeah, absolutely When you when you really get a revelation on what what's being said and really do your research Oh, man, it's something else, bro. Most people won't do it because it takes time. You know what it is People don't have time to do nothing no more. You know what I mean people you go sit down and say, hey man Let's go read together. What right? What's wrong with you? Well, you know, bro, it's a it's a it's a mark away society where we don't want, you know We want it fast. We want it now. We want it yesterday. Why is it taking so long? And uh, you know, the reality is, you know, you have seed time and harvest See time and harvest. So things take time and a lot of times people think that things aren't happening in their life because it's taken too long But the reality is is that, you know, the roots got to grow on the ground first Wow, and then it starts to take root. That is, you know, so it's it's uh It's something that's really impacting the youth A fact of a lot of adults is that they don't want to take the time. They don't want to give it time You know, you gotta give success time to mature and to and to you know, come out the ground Some things youtube ain't gonna be able to teach them.

Okay. How about I give my child the edge in life? I really don't believe in in teaching people about how to parent their kids I believe that because as a parent, you know more about the child than anybody else does But you know, we're in the competitive world, right? How do you give your child the edge? How do you get them above the competition to get them to the level of success that you want them to have? What things do they need to to be competitive and to get to another level? So that's what the five habits are about. Wow. It's getting them to, you know If you only get to college, how do you get them to college as opposed to being lost in the shuffle? Right. How should they think? How should they talk?

I love the fact man. Hey man Oh, well everything that we do goes towards, you know percentage of it all goes towards the orphanage Yeah, and that's so that's real important So the kids been you've been seeing some changes in the kids life because of what you do Absolutely. I was seeing the big changes. The biggest is uh, uh, you know, it's getting the infrastructure situated Where I mean because you're talking about kids at no shoes sleeping on like rock floors Wow, you know, no toilets no, you know, no stove. No, you know, none of that So, you know to be able to be able to see the growth there We're starting to be able to you know get doors and windows put on the orphanage You know starting to get you know things painted and getting the floors fixed and all that so that the kids are comfortable Because those kids have dreams too a lot of them want to be, you know, doctors nurses engineers They want to be passes. They want to be teachers. They all have goals And you know, it could be one of those children that come up with the cure for cancer or come up with the cure for You know, oh stupidity Say man, what's up with the water boys, man? I've been hearing about them water boys down here What's the deal with those guys and is that a real thing to where they need help? Or is it something where where you see people running to the cars with water and They're they're team and they ask them for money or whatever. What's up with that? I think the biggest thing with the man is it would be great if they got What they needed Is coaching on on running the business, right? I mean, it's okay. These are boys that you don't want out selling drugs You don't want to mouse you and they want to make money for this So they came up with a positive way to do it Now it's how do we get them to do it so that there's not creating an issue and not creating trouble Is the biggest thing Wow, you know, so however they were doing it. I'm not exactly sure You know, we heard some things on the news that they were, you know, running up to cars and doing all that But you but if you don't know, you don't know if you don't know how to approach I mean, first of all, you want to a car, right? But they know, okay, if I can sell this water then I can that's better than selling drugs, right? so how do we Empower them to be able to do something like that without getting in trouble without being You know a headache to the people driving up so that it could be a win-win form.
