00:00:57.640 --> 00:01:02.439
Hello, everybody. It's Marissa Watley
with the Marissa Watley Show. And I

2
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:06.799
have my favorite guests in the world, MARLINI Cruz, who's going to join

3
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:11.920
us today? The favorite guest.
I like that. I like that,

4
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:15.920
and I like how you started it's
the Marissa Watly Show. That sounded a

5
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:19.920
little sexy. Oh my gosh,
no intention, no intention, But you

6
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:23.159
are definitely one of my favorite guests
and co hosts. Um. I feel

7
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:26.519
like we have an amazing back and
forth, really have a good time,

8
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.719
don't we. Yes, we do
all the time. And you know what,

9
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.280
those shows that are improvised come out
to be the fast, Yes,

10
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:36.280
they do, they do. I'm
like, what's that about? Yeah,

11
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.359
isn't life like that in general?
Like the things that you don't plan exactly

12
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.439
exactly anybody who knows meetos. I
don't like to plan anything like, don't

13
00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:47.000
put me in a box, don't
tell me what to do, don't tell

14
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.560
me how to do it. M
I actually work better. I think under

15
00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:53.680
pressure. Yeah, and I think
that. You know, when I have

16
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:59.040
to improvise is usually usually turns out
to be my best work. What's the

17
00:01:59.120 --> 00:02:02.719
science behind that? The why?
I don't know. I feel like planning

18
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:07.959
and planning too much gives me like
so much anxiety. Yeah, it's just

19
00:02:07.360 --> 00:02:12.919
I'm a very impatient person, like
I kind of like need things to happen

20
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.439
like sooner than later. And yeah, I yah see that from you.

21
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:21.400
I am. I am. I
can plan ahead and I see things the

22
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:23.120
way that I want them to be, like in the future. But like

23
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:29.000
I'm future. I'm a future like
a future thinker. Is that how you

24
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.639
say it? Like, I'm a
forward thinker, so I'm always like in

25
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:38.759
the future versus being in the present. That makes sense, I mean yes

26
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:44.319
and no, because knowing you for
the time I know you and how you've

27
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:50.400
handled yourself, if you were only
a future thinker, you wouldn't have been

28
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.560
able to handle yourself the way you
have. Like I think you have a

29
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.039
nice balance. I think it's because
I'm always like a step ahead of myself.

30
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:00.319
That's where the balance comes from.
But it doesn't mean that where my

31
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:02.360
mind is. My mind is usually
always in the future, like I'm always

32
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:06.199
thinking ahead. So people are like
slowdown one step at a time, and

33
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:08.000
I know that, and I do
that. I do that because you can

34
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:12.520
only do one thing at a time. But it doesn't mean your mind does

35
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.199
not further than the things that you're
doing, absolutely, you know in that

36
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:19.919
moment, which that gives you that
balance because I'm the same way. You

37
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:25.400
know, I'm such a visionary that
most people will not understand. If I

38
00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.400
tell them my full vision, they'll
be like, no, you're crazy,

39
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:34.120
or you know, you're you're thinking
too much, or you're doing too much,

40
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:37.280
or you know, you're not going
to get that far because most people

41
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:42.159
have a short and small mind instead
of you. They see things in the

42
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:46.879
near only near future. I see
the bigger picture, the medium picture,

43
00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:50.159
and then the small one. Yes, in that order, in that order,

44
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:52.280
you know how they say, like, you know, you you think

45
00:03:52.360 --> 00:03:53.599
you have an idea, right,
let it be small, then you grow

46
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.319
it to something bigger. I always
see like the end result. Yes,

47
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.080
And then I'm like, okay,
so now we're taking the result and I

48
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.120
need to look at it in pieces. Then I have to backtrack and say,

49
00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:08.080
okay, well what is that first
step to that end result? So

50
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:11.080
my mind is actually the reverse.
I think backwards, and I think that's

51
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.599
where that frustration comes because I'm already
there. I'm already there, right you.

52
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:17.199
I don't need to take the steps
to see the bigger picture. I

53
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:21.199
already see the bigger pictures, So
the frustration for me sometimes lies and like,

54
00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:25.879
Okay, I still need to go
through that. You know, the

55
00:04:26.000 --> 00:04:30.639
steps to get there absolutely, and
the frustration for me, I mean the

56
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:35.319
steps to get there I have learned
you know, over the years that are

57
00:04:35.399 --> 00:04:41.279
extremely important because those are the steps
that prepare you to even maintain when you

58
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:46.319
get there, right. They build
that resilience, that anti fragility that is

59
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.959
so important to allow you to maintain, because it's one thing to get there,

60
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:57.279
but another to maintain. Right.
But what is frustrating for me is

61
00:04:57.600 --> 00:05:02.120
to get people on board. That's
a big one, such a huge vision,

62
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:08.319
yes, because people do not see
it oftentimes, Yeah, they don't

63
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:12.759
see that far ahead. Yeah,
you know, so that's often my is

64
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:15.600
that you're kind of your challenge as
well. Um, yeah, because you

65
00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:23.560
know so it's hard for so everybody. Everybody has a different capacity, right,

66
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:30.600
and everyone's capacity is comes from two
different places. It's the biological scientific

67
00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:33.600
part of it, and then it's
also your life experience. So people oftentimes

68
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:39.199
do not think the same way that
you do, so their vision is going

69
00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.040
to look a lot different. So
you know, it's like when you're trying

70
00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:45.079
to paint that picture for everybody to
see, you know, the benefit in

71
00:05:45.120 --> 00:05:48.279
the long run. Sometimes that's where
the challenges and that's where it's difficult to

72
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:55.800
try to get people to be committed
to your vision. But I do like

73
00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.680
sharing those ideas. Like I'm one
of those people where like I can't hold

74
00:05:58.680 --> 00:06:00.759
it in and I'm like, look, this is what I'm doing, this

75
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:03.160
is where we're going, this is
what's going to happen. And everything that

76
00:06:03.279 --> 00:06:08.519
I say I'm going to do,
I always do it. So just because

77
00:06:08.560 --> 00:06:12.519
I said something last month and it
didn't come into fruition the following month,

78
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:17.279
don't think it's not going to happen
right because I'm That's that's where my talent

79
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:23.600
kind of is, is I'm able
to see what's going to happen next and

80
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.920
what should happen next. So,
like I said, I'm always I'm thinking

81
00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.160
in the future. So I'm already
there. So everything that I'm expressing now

82
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.600
is is what I'm imagining is going
to happen, you know, days,

83
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:40.079
years, whatever, months to come. Yeah, what is Because I could

84
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.040
speak on some of my weaknesses and
some of my strengths in terms of like

85
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:49.360
the vision. Right. So I'm
a visionary and I'm good creating the foundation.

86
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:56.120
I'm really really good manifesting the stuff
that I know for sure that I

87
00:06:56.160 --> 00:06:59.399
want to do. For example,
this, as you very well know,

88
00:07:00.199 --> 00:07:04.399
did not exist prior to COVID yea, and I created all of this within

89
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:11.399
six months that we roll home.
So you know, I noticed that I

90
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:18.319
am really good hyper focusing and manifesting
the things that I want. But I'm

91
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:24.160
good at manifesting the things that I
want that I have control over, right

92
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:29.040
right, because at the end of
the day, you only have control over

93
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:32.959
yourself. So and that doesn't stop
me. For example, if I had

94
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:39.639
to do ten shows all on Marlenni
because mar LENNI doesn't have any other co

95
00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:44.040
host or host, Marlenni's gonna do
it, yeah, you know, because

96
00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:48.480
I don't wait upon other people to
believe in my vision for me to get

97
00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:55.279
it done. I'm like, let's
go, right Yeah, But that for

98
00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:00.439
me, it's also your your strength. Sometimes it's also your week. Oh

99
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.399
yeah, you know, if it's
not properly balanced. Still, the fact

100
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:07.639
that I hyper focus is also sometimes
my weakness. Yeah, you know what

101
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.199
my biggest weakness is I put a
lot of things on my plate. I

102
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.600
put a lot of things on my
plate at once because I'm a I'm a

103
00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:20.160
visionary. I'm also a great multitasker. But I won't stop putting things on

104
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:24.600
my plate. And that's that's one
of my biggest flaws. Because you only

105
00:08:24.600 --> 00:08:28.120
have but so much time in the
day, you only have but so much

106
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:33.200
control over all of these things,
and you only have you know, you

107
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:39.279
only have enough strength to you know, to get through what you can get

108
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:41.519
through a lot of the things that
I do have on my plate by default,

109
00:08:41.519 --> 00:08:45.559
and a lot of things I do
put on my plate, you know,

110
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:48.240
make it so much harder to like
get to where I'm trying to go

111
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:54.879
because I'm like this constant balancing act. But um, that's that part to

112
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:56.399
me isn't stressful because I feel like
I always have to be busy, like

113
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.759
I was supposed to be doing something, and honestly, I have to be

114
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:03.120
doing a thousand things that wants to
feel productive. So while it's a week

115
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.440
a week, you know, a
weakness, it's also my strength. I

116
00:09:07.440 --> 00:09:11.159
think what I need to do is
prioritized, is prioritized. That's one thing.

117
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:16.559
And then also, um, you
know, find the help because you

118
00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.000
know, you start to pile a
lot of things on your plate. You

119
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.120
want to stay busy. You feel
like it's the only way that you're gonna

120
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:24.480
feel productive. But at the end
of the day, you know, everybody

121
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:30.679
needs help with the things that they
have to do. You know, there's

122
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.240
no such thing as, you know, a business just running itself. You

123
00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.720
know, you start a business,
you have to have employees. You you

124
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:39.639
know, if you have your business
grows, you need an assistant. Like,

125
00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:45.039
everybody always needs help. And everything
that I do and everything that I've

126
00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:50.039
done so far has been by way
of me. Right, Well, you

127
00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:54.559
know, I'm going to challenge that
a little bit because not every kind of

128
00:09:54.679 --> 00:10:01.919
business or every kind of person needs
that. I think we all need a

129
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.759
support system, which I think is
different. But there's a lot of people

130
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:09.200
that are solopreneurs. There's a lot
of people that you know, handle things

131
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.200
on their own and they're doing good. They don't especially the people that are

132
00:10:13.240 --> 00:10:18.480
not necessarily in need of having that
huge vision. Everybody's definition of success is

133
00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:24.679
different. So my definition of success
is that huge vision that I see that

134
00:10:24.840 --> 00:10:30.519
is massive and it's like so overwhelming
and heavy. Somebody else's vision. It

135
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:33.240
could be very simple and that's their
vision of success. I just feel like,

136
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.399
bigger, small, It doesn't matter
where you work. You could be

137
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.200
You could work in retail. You
can't be successful in retail without the customers.

138
00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:43.039
You can't be successful in retail without
having the job. You can't be

139
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:46.759
you know what I mean. So
everybody needs somebody. So no matter where

140
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:50.519
you are and how bigger, how
small your vision is, there's always going

141
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:54.120
to be that other person or that
other you know, liaison that's going to

142
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:58.080
allow you to grow so in some
way, in some way, shape,

143
00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.639
form or fashion. No matter what
your business is, you're always going to

144
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.440
need the supports that the help.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, which comes

145
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:11.200
in different ways. Right, absolutely, I agree with you. And that's

146
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:16.000
one of the things that for me
has been very challenging because over the years,

147
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.759
I've been blessed to be in business
now for thirteen years, and over

148
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:26.720
the years I've had teams, I've
had employees, I've had you know,

149
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.440
good and bad, up and down. And what I have noticed, since

150
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:37.360
I'm such a hyper focuser, right, I'm not so great in building team.

151
00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.200
I have to have somebody else building
that, you know, It's so

152
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.799
funny that you say that that has
to be like a personality type, because

153
00:11:43.799 --> 00:11:46.720
I'm the same way. It's just
like I don't really want to like I

154
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.759
need the team and I'm a great
coach, but to actually put the team

155
00:11:50.799 --> 00:11:54.399
together as a whole other thing for
me. So I'm not an operational person.

156
00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.799
I'm a very I'm a I'm a
creator, a creative, a creative

157
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:03.759
mind. Soon, so I'm bringing
you all the ideas, but I need

158
00:12:03.799 --> 00:12:07.360
somebody else to do to do all
that other stuff. You know, it's

159
00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.679
all the legwork and stuff like that
that you know, Can I do it?

160
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:11.320
Yes? Can I do it?
Well? Sure? Do I want

161
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:16.080
to do it? Absolutely not?
Yeah, absolutely yes. And and it's

162
00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:22.039
very common because creators are often not
the people that are the operators, right

163
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.799
right right, So it is common
when you are the creator, when you

164
00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:33.080
are the visionary. Um, there's
nobody online and earth that's perfect in every

165
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:37.080
area, you know, even for
example, you already know that I love

166
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:43.559
him Elon musk Um. Even Elon
he's very clear at what he is good

167
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.600
at and still he's a millionaire.
He focuses on making sure that the product

168
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:54.120
is a success. Making a successful
product yeah. Right. He is in

169
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.200
the field within his businesses that he
is good at and he focuses on that

170
00:13:00.200 --> 00:13:03.399
is everybody else to focus on everything
else, right, right, because you

171
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.679
have to know what you're good at
and where is your area and allow other

172
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:11.799
people to handle the areas that your
weekend. Oh yeah right yeah, so

173
00:13:11.919 --> 00:13:16.919
yeah, that's we have that similarity
again. Well, I mean go where

174
00:13:16.919 --> 00:13:20.000
you can grow, right, absolutely, absolutely, And that's another thing.

175
00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:26.240
Yea, go where you can grow. When you told me that, when

176
00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:28.159
you gave me that that kind of
like phrase, that sentence, I was

177
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:35.720
like, that's so great because we
oftentimes, you know, within our path,

178
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.759
within our growth, maybe we know
that we're not walking a path that

179
00:13:39.840 --> 00:13:43.840
we're we can grow, or we're
not around people where we're going to be

180
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:48.679
able to grow, and maybe we
drag our feet in making the changes necessary.

181
00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.960
But going where you can grow at
old times and making sure that you

182
00:13:54.000 --> 00:13:58.080
make that shift. It's so important, Yeah, making the mindset shift,

183
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:03.960
making the physical shift, making the
shift in people in friends in and Beyonce

184
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:07.360
in frame of mind. I mean, it's so important, it is,

185
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:09.679
it is. But you know what
that process looks different for everybody. It

186
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.559
looks so different for everybody, and
there's so many different stages and phases of

187
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.600
growing, and um, you know
what that looks like based on your life

188
00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:22.600
and what you're calling is and what
your purpose is and all of those things.

189
00:14:22.639 --> 00:14:26.679
And I don't know, I you
know, just speaking on myself if

190
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:33.039
I may. You know, I've
had I've had I've had different stages of

191
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.960
growth. But I always know,
like when I'm going through like some kind

192
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:39.360
of transition, you know what I
mean, Like I always know what I'm

193
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:41.600
going through some kind of transition because
things are just shaking up a little bit

194
00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.600
too much where it feels weird and
You're like, what what is it that

195
00:14:45.639 --> 00:14:48.000
I'm going through? You know,
what is it that I'm going through?

196
00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.759
Like there's been times where, um, you know, I'm growing and you

197
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:54.279
know, you just feel it.
You don't know what's happening, but you

198
00:14:54.440 --> 00:15:00.639
see things are changing. There's a
move that's forced there's there's people that are

199
00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.919
forced out, there's a job change, there's something major, some sort of

200
00:15:03.960 --> 00:15:07.039
major event that shook things up and
change things so much. Right, there's

201
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:13.720
earthquake, tsunami, ya, all
those things. Everything's happening all at once,

202
00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.360
you know, And I know when
it's happening. I just can't always,

203
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:22.279
you know, gauge when that transition
stage is going to be done.

204
00:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.519
But I know that there's something bigger
on the other side, right, So

205
00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:28.879
yeah, just even like more recently, you know, I've been changing a

206
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.000
lot of things. There's so many
different things I'm going to do. I'm

207
00:15:31.039 --> 00:15:35.799
going by coastal, so I'm gonna
be splitting my time between two different states.

208
00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.720
I'll be back and forth and you
know, doing business and those kind

209
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:41.039
of things. That's a huge move. That's a huge, big, bold

210
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.120
move. You know, I am
a mom. You know, I have

211
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.759
a child that's in school. There's
a lot of back and forth that needs

212
00:15:48.759 --> 00:15:50.320
to happen. But I also need
to keep up with those kind of things,

213
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:52.720
you understand, And I'm doing it
on my own, so it's not

214
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.480
easy. But you know, I've
definitely been going through a phase where,

215
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:03.200
you know, it seems like a
lot of people that I was that perhaps

216
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.759
you know, how do you say, whether it's friends with or in business

217
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:14.919
with or whatever. So many things
have changed. There's so many people that

218
00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:21.519
you know, I don't I don't
necessarily feel the same connection to the way

219
00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:25.080
that I did. Just a couple
of months ago, and it's amazing.

220
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:27.279
You know, I don't I don't
have any ill feelings towards these people,

221
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:33.480
but for me to not feel that
connection anymore, it's just telling me that

222
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.240
there's something more out there, or
there's something else out there that I'm supposed

223
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:42.120
to be chasing. You know,
there's some sort of divide that's happening.

224
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:45.279
You know. I've been spending a
lot of personal time, like with myself.

225
00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:48.679
I haven't been posting a lot,
I haven't been doing a lot of

226
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.840
those things. But I think times
like this are really important, you know.

227
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.600
And as I look around, I
see like so many other people,

228
00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:59.039
and we're not going right now where
the world is right now, things are

229
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:02.080
not easy. There's like every day
we turn around, there's like some other

230
00:17:03.120 --> 00:17:07.240
catastrophe that's happening. You know.
Um, times are kind of weird right

231
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.720
now. So people are going through
their stuff, you know, and there's

232
00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.960
so many people. Yeah, I
don't know what's going on, but there's

233
00:17:15.960 --> 00:17:21.039
something that's that's that's happening that hasn't
happened before. But there's so many people

234
00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:25.920
that are, you know, going
through their own you know, growth stages

235
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.119
if you will, and there's you
know, people that have been having a

236
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:32.039
tough time like mentally yea, you
know, there's a lot of people.

237
00:17:32.319 --> 00:17:36.240
Um, even you know, celebrities
are notable people that have been going through

238
00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:38.519
a really, really, really tough
time. So I say that to say

239
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:44.119
that spending time with yourself is very
important and sometimes you just have to stop

240
00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:48.839
everything and allow that time for yourself
because there's something in that process that you're

241
00:17:48.839 --> 00:17:55.519
supposed to be hearing or absorbing in
order to be prepared for that next level.

242
00:17:55.559 --> 00:18:00.000
So I've definitely been experiencing that,
um the last like six seven months,

243
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:07.880
which now I'm you know at the
time, like when you're taking this

244
00:18:07.000 --> 00:18:11.359
time to yourself, like you're not
realizing like what's happening, I'm like,

245
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:15.200
what the purpose of it is and
all of that. And then you know,

246
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:18.440
as time passes, you start to
realize, Okay, that happened because

247
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:21.359
of this, and this happened because
of that. It all starts to make

248
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.680
sense. So and I had a
friend on it. I had a friend

249
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:27.799
on the show before where he was
talking about, you know, having a

250
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:30.240
phase where he had to sit down, and I said, look, you

251
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.519
know, sometimes these sit downs,
if that's what you want to call it

252
00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:40.319
need to happen, because there's something
that that something that's happening in that process

253
00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:42.319
that needs to happen in order for
you to get to the next level.

254
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:47.640
Like just when you think you're not
growing, you're having the most growth.

255
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:52.160
It's so true, it's so true. So while these things are happening,

256
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:55.759
not always easy. Every day is
not like you know, walk in the

257
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:57.599
park, Oh, walk in the
park. It ain't. But you know,

258
00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:02.240
you just allow these things to happen, and because you know that it's

259
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:06.240
putting you on the path that you
need to be on for the future.

260
00:19:06.680 --> 00:19:11.079
There's so much to say about that
because there's something that nobody can deny right

261
00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:15.400
now, and it's the fact that
the world is changing, Isn't it crazy?

262
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:18.839
I just I don't even know what
the world is changing. If I

263
00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:21.960
knew, If I knew, this
is what it was like to be an

264
00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:25.680
adult because as kids, a lot
of the kids, you know, they

265
00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:27.119
have no idea what's going on.
And we were there were things that were

266
00:19:27.119 --> 00:19:30.599
happening when we were kids and we
had no idea what was going on.

267
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.559
Yeah, yeah, but but this
is different though we're living literally during a

268
00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:41.200
transition. We are right, Yeah, during a global transition for humanity in

269
00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:45.839
general. We are entering a new
phase of humanity and we can see this

270
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:51.519
very evidently when we speak of artificial
intelligence, and then the big shots are

271
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:55.200
saying it's going to be a whole
new world, and it literally will be

272
00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:57.720
a whole new I'm not looking forward
to that, to that world. I

273
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:00.759
know you're an Elon Musk fan and
everything, but I don't know about all

274
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:04.839
of these robots and everything just doing
stuff for you. It just takes that

275
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.119
personal touch out and I need that. I'm a people person, Yeah,

276
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.440
like I need people. Yeah,
I don't need robots. That's a whole

277
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:18.880
another topic. I mean, you
know that is another topic with endless episodes.

278
00:20:18.039 --> 00:20:22.160
What about dating a robot? Isn't
that like this thing? Well,

279
00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:26.079
now you're shifting. Okay, I'm
not shifting. We're talking technology here and

280
00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:30.000
how the world has changing. Let's
let's go. Let let me just begin

281
00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:37.039
to say that what we are living
right now with artificial intelligence is something that

282
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:42.200
is not something that just came about. Artificial intelligence have been around us for

283
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:48.640
years upon years. We've been underground, you know, developing this making it

284
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.000
better. The fact that a surfaced
does not mean that it's something new,

285
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:56.200
right, Um, this has been
something planned, This has been something that

286
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:02.279
you know, the powers that be
have plent in society a little at a

287
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:06.759
time to the point where we are
all technology. Anyhow, let me tell

288
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:11.279
you you are already an extension of
a robot this right here, just the

289
00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:17.000
fact that you could detach it and
put it down for a minute. But

290
00:21:17.039 --> 00:21:19.880
we are on the phone twenty four
seven, We are live right now,

291
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:22.799
and both of us have the phone
really next to us, do you know

292
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:27.799
what I mean? So, now
with that being said, you mentioned don't

293
00:21:27.799 --> 00:21:30.680
get me, don't get me started
on this topic. We could go for

294
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:37.400
hours. You mentioned Elon. Now, Elon has been talking and advising about

295
00:21:37.480 --> 00:21:42.559
this topic for years and letting people
know the dangers about it for years.

296
00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:48.279
He is developing, obviously, artificial
intelligence, because when you cannot defeat your

297
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:56.079
enemy, what you have to do
unite. We cannot defeat technology and artificial

298
00:21:56.119 --> 00:22:02.640
intelligence anymore. It is a monster
that we can no longer defeat, right

299
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:07.920
And we've done this to ourselves to
be on us. So we are at

300
00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:11.720
a point with artificial intelligence there is
no going back. There's no putting that

301
00:22:11.799 --> 00:22:15.480
monster in the box. It is
out of the box. Now we need

302
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:21.000
to determine as a human being,
as a you know, species, how

303
00:22:21.079 --> 00:22:23.559
we want to go about this.
Do we want to create a whole new

304
00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:27.839
species, because that's what we're doing. Yeah, that is what we're doing.

305
00:22:27.960 --> 00:22:32.759
I mean I don't I don't care
for it. I don't care for

306
00:22:32.799 --> 00:22:36.480
it. I think it's I think
it's ridiculous. Yeah. I'm the person

307
00:22:36.519 --> 00:22:41.319
who comments under this stuff on Instagram
when they post like the Roots and ask

308
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:44.319
you if you know, what do
you think about it? Like, I'm

309
00:22:44.359 --> 00:22:48.279
like, sow against that stuff.
That's ridiculous. Beyond ridiculous is dangerous.

310
00:22:48.480 --> 00:22:55.440
Yeah, you know, it is
extremely dangerous because we're not only creating something

311
00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:00.119
that is more intelligent than us,
because we are literally feeding it the whole

312
00:23:00.559 --> 00:23:07.079
blob of intelligence that we have gathered
since we have conscious right, we have

313
00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:15.839
consciousness. It learns on its own, so we feed it all the information

314
00:23:15.920 --> 00:23:19.720
that we ever know of humanity.
Here you go, everything we know,

315
00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:29.200
and it also regurgitates that information and
feeds itself. So it's beyond the human

316
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:36.039
capacity. Yeah, we will not
be able to control artificial intelligence. And

317
00:23:36.119 --> 00:23:38.799
this is not only robots. What
people see like the you know, No,

318
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:44.839
this is beyond that. They're gonna
start looking like human beings, Like

319
00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:48.640
they're gonna put real skin on these
robots. They're gonna and even if they

320
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:56.119
do not have a body, just
the simple fact that they can control For

321
00:23:56.160 --> 00:24:00.920
example, Alexa, Alexa has a
body. No, Alexa controls your whole

322
00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:06.160
entire environment of your house, whatever
you give her, access to your heat,

323
00:24:06.480 --> 00:24:11.519
your light, your our alarm system, the music that you put in,

324
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:17.079
the everything, and she does not
have a body, right, ye,

325
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:22.720
So we have to look beyond what
we you know, our small frame

326
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:27.160
of mind sometimes think about you know, robots and what we know about it.

327
00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:32.160
The world is changing, you know, and if we don't wake up

328
00:24:32.279 --> 00:24:37.559
fast, we're for a route awakening. So to connect that back to what

329
00:24:37.599 --> 00:24:41.799
we were talking about initially, there
is a shift that is going on in

330
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:48.799
humanity. Not only would artificial intelligence
climate change, right, there's so many

331
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:53.119
aspects of us that is changing,
right, that is bringing about this rebellious

332
00:24:53.200 --> 00:25:00.160
kind of drama, kind of depression, mental health, in all these changes

333
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:04.480
in a human body and mind that
of course we're going to be feeling it

334
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:08.359
right, right, But more than
ever, I think we need to be

335
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.279
you know, very conscious, very
aware, and have that support system so

336
00:25:14.319 --> 00:25:18.799
we could know how to you know, maneuver around these times. Yeah,

337
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:22.240
now I'm going to shut up.
I was listening to you. Hey,

338
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:25.839
I'm not against any opinions here.
This is this is you know, it's

339
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:29.599
something that's been upon us. Yeah
it's a heavy topic, but it's something

340
00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:32.119
that's been upon us for so many
years. Everybody's a part of all these

341
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:37.319
social media platforms. You have Instagram, Like now there's a Twitter rival rival,

342
00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.440
I forget the name of it any
anyhow, there's another Twitter essentially,

343
00:25:41.839 --> 00:25:45.440
So this stuff is not going to
stop, you know, and you know

344
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:49.079
there's you know, people are becoming
less and less social in person because they

345
00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:52.359
have that social media aspect. You
don't have to leave the house to have

346
00:25:52.359 --> 00:25:56.640
a relationship with somebody. And now
the metaverse, uh, now you'll be

347
00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:02.720
able to have everything you do physically, even sexual relationships and all that you

348
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:07.480
will be able to do in the
metaverse. Everything everything meet me in the

349
00:26:07.480 --> 00:26:14.000
metaverse? Like what he there?
Crazy? I wonder how that's gonna be.

350
00:26:14.039 --> 00:26:15.279
But no, I think Elon Musk, I think he like introduced I

351
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:18.519
don't know if it was a joke, if it was serious. I don't.

352
00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:21.319
I try not to like indulge too
much in this stuff because it's just

353
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:23.640
too far fetch for me. But
it's called I forget what it's called.

354
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:29.440
It's like a robot wife or something
like that. I'm like, so it's

355
00:26:29.440 --> 00:26:32.200
just getting to the point where people
are gonna be dating robots or is this

356
00:26:32.279 --> 00:26:36.960
just a robot that's gonna be at
home? But apparently this robot is able

357
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:42.000
to do things that a real wife
would do. Everything, girl, everything

358
00:26:42.160 --> 00:26:48.279
and much more. You men have
issues. I'm sorry that is not you

359
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:51.319
know, I don't know care even
I don't agree with that. I don't

360
00:26:51.359 --> 00:26:53.279
like it, but it's the truth. I think it's crazy. Okay,

361
00:26:53.440 --> 00:26:56.720
wash my dishes, clean my floor, but like to be in an intimate

362
00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:03.319
relationship with me? No crazy?
And now, this is artificial intelligence that

363
00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:07.960
could speak to you. Have you
spoken to chat GPT? Have you interacted

364
00:27:07.000 --> 00:27:10.640
with it yet? What's that?
Now? Okay, I'm at a tech

365
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:12.920
person. Don't ask me anything,
techie. Don't ask me about movies.

366
00:27:12.920 --> 00:27:17.640
Don't ask me about actors and names
and movies and stuff. Chat is a

367
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:22.559
language model, is an artificial intelligence. You ask it to do anything,

368
00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:27.599
and it will give you that in
a matter of seconds or minutes. Seconds,

369
00:27:29.359 --> 00:27:32.759
you know, create this for me, create that for me, Write

370
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:38.039
a book, right this, right, write code for a website. It

371
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:44.720
does it all, okay, in
a matter of seconds. So this is

372
00:27:44.759 --> 00:27:51.119
an example of how you can interact
with an artificial intelligence, just like I'm

373
00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:55.680
interacting with you. But now you
have the ability to get a lot of

374
00:27:55.759 --> 00:28:00.559
information, to get intelligent information a
matter of consider a human being cannot do.

375
00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:03.839
I mean, I feel like all
of that is fine, but I'm

376
00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:07.839
not trying to establish an emotional connection
with a robot. So that's really that's

377
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:11.599
where I'm coming from with this.
Give me all the information. It takes

378
00:28:11.599 --> 00:28:12.640
two seconds, greater, I get
it faster than I'll get it from a

379
00:28:12.680 --> 00:28:15.119
person. I you know, it's
probably a little bit easier. You push

380
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:19.119
a button, you use a remote, or you ask the question. That's

381
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:25.160
fine, But to like have this
emotional connection and with a robot, yeah,

382
00:28:25.480 --> 00:28:29.319
it's I don't know. I just
don't know. Not only are we

383
00:28:29.559 --> 00:28:33.880
I see in the in the not
so far future, we'll have marriages with

384
00:28:34.079 --> 00:28:38.759
robots. Like what, artificial intelligence
don't calling you? You can't have kids

385
00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:44.440
with a robot calling it. I
don't want to hear it. We're changing

386
00:28:44.480 --> 00:28:48.640
this subject here. I'm done with
this. I don't want to tell this

387
00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:53.799
is insane. There are, um
now there are how do you call the

388
00:28:53.960 --> 00:29:00.759
stations where they could have a whole
child come on, a human being child,

389
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:07.079
like a real human child, so
a robot can Now, okay,

390
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:14.559
they're they're they're fake wombs where a
child grows. Does does this not bother

391
00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:18.920
anyone else? Because I'm so bothered
by Yes, I am definitely. It's

392
00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:22.240
crazy and it's creepy and it's weird. It's one thing if we're like hatching

393
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.680
a dinosaur egg or something like.
Obviously there's no dinosaurs because we have no

394
00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:30.200
other way to do it. But
we there's people still exist, there's no

395
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:34.640
reason too and if we do not
stop now. There was a letter,

396
00:29:36.519 --> 00:29:40.920
an open letter they call it,
that was signed by many people, many

397
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:44.720
big shots, and Elon is one
of them to sign it, asking for

398
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:48.160
a halt. Let's stop and think
about this, because if we can see

399
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:52.359
it's gonna we can hurt. Yeah, they can take over and we'll have

400
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:56.000
no control take over, you know
what, we will be smart enough not

401
00:29:56.079 --> 00:30:00.839
to listen to us and do their
own things. We've seen movies like this,

402
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:03.799
right, These movies have been out
for decades. Yeah, So the

403
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:10.960
danger of it when you have an
artificial intelligence that things on its own,

404
00:30:11.279 --> 00:30:17.079
it's much much smarter than you.
It could reproduce itself. Right, Um,

405
00:30:17.640 --> 00:30:22.599
why do they need us again?
Can you remind me? We will

406
00:30:22.680 --> 00:30:33.599
be like what cats are for,
they're going to like kill us and especially

407
00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:37.759
and like going back to the emotional
part. If they can figure out how

408
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:45.079
to how to program some sort of
emotion or connection to certain thoughts, that's

409
00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.920
when it's going to be our downfall. Because while they're not human beings,

410
00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:56.599
they can't really have true emotion,
they're gonna still process things in sequence and

411
00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:02.279
order the way that a human being
would. And that is what's going to

412
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:04.240
end up in the results. Well, that's already possible. And I'll tell

413
00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:08.319
you why. Because we are being
stupid enough and yes, I'm going to

414
00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:14.480
say stupid. We're being very careless
and very stupid and what we're putting out

415
00:31:14.519 --> 00:31:19.880
there, and these language models are
being trained with the data of the content

416
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:25.839
that is being created. So if
you create content, you create hateful,

417
00:31:25.920 --> 00:31:30.319
spiteful, malicious, you know,
all that stuff. All that human negative

418
00:31:30.359 --> 00:31:36.440
emotion that is in us. That's
what we're feeding these models. Yeah,

419
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:41.039
so at the end of the day, you're feeding your own monster that will

420
00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:45.480
eventually come back to bite you.
Does that make any sense? It is.

421
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:52.200
It would behoove us to create content
that is empathetic, that is positive,

422
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:56.440
that is motivational, inspirational, uplifting, because that's what we're going to

423
00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:59.079
be feeding it. But you know, we're always going to have the two

424
00:31:59.480 --> 00:32:04.079
sides. Yeah, I don't know. I'm not really ready for all of

425
00:32:04.079 --> 00:32:07.200
that. It's not ready. Yeah, I'm not ready for that. And

426
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:12.880
this is another thing right now that
you mentioned we're not ready. We already

427
00:32:12.920 --> 00:32:20.359
know that legislature and the lawmaking process
is really slow and it does not function

428
00:32:20.839 --> 00:32:25.200
the way in the speed that this
is moving. This hit us like and

429
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:31.160
we didn't even know when it started. Yeah, right, So the same

430
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:37.160
way, it is so unfortunate that
the laws are not in place to limit

431
00:32:37.240 --> 00:32:40.319
these companies that are in an arms
race of what they're creating, and they're

432
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:45.799
creating something that could eventually wipe us
out as humanity, but the laws are

433
00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:52.079
not in place yet to control that. Yeah, it's dangerous. I don't

434
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:54.920
know. I guess we got to
see what happens. But but yeah,

435
00:32:54.960 --> 00:32:58.680
I mean, I'm definitely feeling the
changes. There's been so many things that

436
00:32:58.680 --> 00:33:04.160
have changed. Um, this winter
was exceptionally cold. Wasn't like below zero?

437
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:07.920
Yep, you didn't get it.
But now you switching, You switching

438
00:33:07.960 --> 00:33:09.720
on me. I don't want to
talk about robots anymore. We're gonna switch

439
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:13.519
the subject. We talk about the
things. But yeah, like all these

440
00:33:13.559 --> 00:33:15.640
things that have happened, you know, So the weather was like really cold,

441
00:33:15.799 --> 00:33:20.519
I think there was there was wildfires
in Canada. There was earthquakes over

442
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:24.240
there in Turkey, like catastrophic earthquakes. There's a lot going on. Yeah,

443
00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:28.160
there's so much going on, you
know. Yeah, and a lot

444
00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:31.559
of that is also man created.
Uh yeah, listen, there's so much

445
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:35.680
controversy over that, like we have
no idea what you know, who's doing

446
00:33:35.680 --> 00:33:40.720
what and what's doing Who's just we
are destroying ourselves in so many ways.

447
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:46.039
You know. Another way that we
could potentially destroy ourselves is in engineering.

448
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:53.759
You know, COVID for example,
engineering these things that could viruses that could

449
00:33:53.839 --> 00:34:00.480
kill us. Right, Like,
we can already engineer a new human and

450
00:34:00.519 --> 00:34:06.519
the way we want it. The
color, the the the background, the

451
00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:12.159
f We can engineer a human in
every single way. I just buy everything

452
00:34:12.280 --> 00:34:16.079
we can. We've gotten to the
point that, like we can modify absolutely

453
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:22.320
everything, yep, and we can
create a virus that can wipe whole humanity.

454
00:34:22.559 --> 00:34:25.480
But you know the crazy partis it's
like people are so stuck on creating

455
00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:29.920
all these negative things. They're not
even thinking about like creating like positive things,

456
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:32.480
like why can't we create like superpowers
and like really indulge in that,

457
00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:36.559
Like why can't I teleport yet?
That's what I want to do. I

458
00:34:36.559 --> 00:34:39.199
don't want to focus on artificial intelligence. It's a form of superpower if you

459
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:43.960
if you, yeah, But I'm
not the piece of technology. I'm a

460
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:46.679
human being and I want to figure
out how I can do those, you

461
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:52.360
know, superpower kind of things.
I would much rather people focus on on

462
00:34:52.360 --> 00:34:55.360
on using those parts of their brain
than to be focused on all the negative.

463
00:34:55.400 --> 00:34:58.840
It's just like all these negative things
are being creative. We've got suffer

464
00:34:58.960 --> 00:35:01.440
war, We've got robots I could
potentially take over. Like what are we

465
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:07.280
doing that's positive for mankind? Right
now? What are we doing? If

466
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:10.360
you if you had the ability to
like have a superpower. What would it

467
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:15.639
be if I had the ability to
have a superpower? I mean, I

468
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:19.360
have to think about that. Um, there are several things I would do.

469
00:35:20.280 --> 00:35:23.039
But that's a that's a very good
it's such a good question, right,

470
00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:25.519
Yeah, No, it's a deep
question, and it's one that I

471
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:30.840
don't want to answer too swiftly because
when you start thinking about and getting creative

472
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:35.000
with superpowers, there's always a good
and bad of everything. Yeah, there's

473
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:40.239
always a bad way of using a
superpower and then will always be right.

474
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:45.960
So I got to think about that. How about you. I would want

475
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:51.280
to teleport. I'd like to travel
so and I'd like to be in and

476
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:52.719
out of places. So if I
could be if I can go from one

477
00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:55.800
place to the next. If I'm
in trouble, I can teleport away from

478
00:35:55.840 --> 00:36:00.239
that, right yeah, if I
want to if I need to get away,

479
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:01.880
I can teleport away from where I
am. If I need to be

480
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:05.679
in multiple places at the same time, the whole dual state thing that I

481
00:36:05.719 --> 00:36:07.920
was telling you about, if I
need to do that, I could be

482
00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:12.559
there in an instant. So for
me, with my lifestyle, I think,

483
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:15.159
you know, having a superpower of
being able to teleport would be ideal

484
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:21.960
for me. I've heard so many
different kinds. Yeah, I guess what's

485
00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:27.639
similar to a genie where you desire
something and it's right there. That would

486
00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:31.599
be really cool. But that's cool. I like that. But eventually there

487
00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:36.199
will be a form. For example, I know, I'm gonna go briefly

488
00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:39.360
back to artificial intelligence because this is
gonna freak you out a little bit,

489
00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:46.280
but it's already happening. Reality everything
there's We've never been lived a time in

490
00:36:46.400 --> 00:36:52.159
humanity where you can really literally sense
birth till death, you know, sum

491
00:36:52.239 --> 00:36:55.920
up a human being and have evidence
of their whole life in social media.

492
00:36:57.000 --> 00:37:00.320
We've never lived such a time.
Right now, we're living that time.

493
00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:07.280
My daughter, you know, sends
birth till the day she dies. She

494
00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:14.320
is going to have her entire life
registered social media. So you can literally

495
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:22.320
listen to this though. Artificial intelligence
can make you immortal because you take this

496
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:30.519
life, this persona personality, habits, train, everything, mindset, and

497
00:37:30.760 --> 00:37:37.679
you artificially place it into an artificial
intelligence, and you have another form of

498
00:37:37.840 --> 00:37:43.280
Marabella's. You have another form of
Marlenni. For example, this chat GPT

499
00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:46.280
can create a song. You tell
it create a song with the lyrics of

500
00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:52.000
you know, as if it was
Twopac. I give you a song as

501
00:37:52.039 --> 00:37:57.920
if it was Twopac in two seconds, right right, a comedy as if

502
00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:02.119
you are Kevin Hart in the style
and the personality of Kevin Hart in a

503
00:38:02.199 --> 00:38:08.960
second. So it will personify,
right, any character, any person.

504
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:14.519
You can become immortal. That's another
way of immortality. Yeah. You know,

505
00:38:14.559 --> 00:38:17.039
when you're talking about superpowers, why
one thing I would do is another

506
00:38:17.039 --> 00:38:21.320
superpower is to like change the weather. I do not. I'm not like

507
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:22.440
a rain person. It's going to
be raining all this week. What is

508
00:38:22.480 --> 00:38:28.239
everybody doing for Fourth of July weekends? So Fourth of July is actually on

509
00:38:28.239 --> 00:38:31.480
Tuesday, but people have been going
down the show here in Jersey. People

510
00:38:31.519 --> 00:38:35.039
go down the shore a lot,
like that's a thing. So people are

511
00:38:35.039 --> 00:38:38.119
going down. People went down on
like Thursday. The weather's been okay,

512
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:42.920
but it looks like it's like Thursday
Thursday. People go down early, so

513
00:38:42.960 --> 00:38:46.079
they could be there for Friday,
Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Yeah.

514
00:38:46.159 --> 00:38:50.360
Wow, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Yes, I'm

515
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:54.679
sure it's like paths right now.
Yeah, absolutely got off an entire week.

516
00:38:54.800 --> 00:38:58.880
If I could change the weather just
like that. That's exactly what I

517
00:38:58.920 --> 00:39:02.599
would do. Well, that's another
thing that's already been done. Oh gosh,

518
00:39:02.639 --> 00:39:07.079
I'm sorry. I was just talking
about myself. I could change the

519
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:10.760
weather be personally, I absolutely would. Yeah. We already have the power

520
00:39:12.280 --> 00:39:15.440
too, that's insane. Yeah,
and it's true. It's true. It's

521
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:19.960
true. We already Yeah, yeah, we've got to pass certain superpowers already.

522
00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:22.559
Did you do anything for Fourth of
July? Have you not yet?

523
00:39:22.639 --> 00:39:25.679
But I'm blinding. I love,
you know, watching the fireworks with the

524
00:39:25.800 --> 00:39:30.440
baby. So now I live in
an area where we can see that very

525
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:34.719
clearly, now, So yeah,
that's gonna be fun. Yeah, I

526
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:38.360
don't know. Um, I don't
know. I'm definitely gonna hang out a

527
00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:40.880
little bit, you know. I
went just went out with a couple of

528
00:39:42.159 --> 00:39:44.760
friends the last couple of days,
but nothing, nothing too crazy. And

529
00:39:44.800 --> 00:39:46.920
I haven't gone down to the shore. Um, I'm sure I'll get there

530
00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:51.480
at some point, you know,
maybe hit up a if the fans are

531
00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:53.519
around. They know when Marissa walk. Oh my gosh, I don't know,

532
00:39:53.760 --> 00:40:00.199
but you know, tune into my
social media right, um, and

533
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:02.719
um, let's see, let's see
what this weekend brings I'm actually excited to

534
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:06.639
to you know. Fourth of July
is one of my favorite holidays. Yeah,

535
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:08.920
yeah, it's It's super chill for
me. It's not like one of

536
00:40:08.920 --> 00:40:12.800
those where you have to like prepare
a little bit too much. It's okay

537
00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:15.760
to hop around. There's a lot
of people out. Everybody's excited. It's

538
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:20.840
in the summer, which is a
big deal. Yeah, so it's it's

539
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:23.199
actually one of my Um, it's
one of my favorite holidays. So let's

540
00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:29.719
say I have no idea who I'm
gonna be watching the fireworks with. Um,

541
00:40:29.760 --> 00:40:31.760
you can't in the Fourth of July. You can't really hide too much,

542
00:40:32.559 --> 00:40:37.119
you know, talking about that for
a second. I know we're going

543
00:40:37.119 --> 00:40:39.079
on the tantrums, like of us, like we're going on tangents, but

544
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:45.880
um, the little small tangent here. Are you more of a private person

545
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:51.800
or are you more of a public
person when it comes to what MARLINI in

546
00:40:52.000 --> 00:40:55.639
general, because I mean to be
honest. In today's society, everything is

547
00:40:55.679 --> 00:41:00.679
now meshed together. You can't really
divide anymore. Yeah, you know,

548
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:05.199
it used to be that you would
know my my professional side and my social

549
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:08.239
media or whatever. Some people would
know my personal But now it's all meshed

550
00:41:08.280 --> 00:41:12.639
age. I think it's subjective because
people who know me know me, you

551
00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:15.119
know, like if I've spent enough
time with you and I've opened up to

552
00:41:15.239 --> 00:41:19.320
you'll know like the different sides of
my personality. I'm very chameleonic, so

553
00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:21.920
I could be whatever which way,
whatever my mood is is where I'm going

554
00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:25.320
right so um, But for the
most part, I would say I'd like

555
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:30.159
to try to keep it. I
keep business separate from like my private life,

556
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:32.599
so you know, even on social
media, like I have a private

557
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:37.199
page that it's existed forever, I
don't. I don't allow everybody to be

558
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:40.079
my friend, you know, and
I post there's certain things on there that

559
00:41:40.119 --> 00:41:44.079
I post that you know, for
the most part, are humorous, like

560
00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:46.360
just just being funny or whatever.
But you know, I don't post those

561
00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:49.400
things on my business page, so
you're not always going to get the same

562
00:41:49.440 --> 00:41:52.599
things posted on the same pages.
So in that regard, I guess you

563
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:54.920
could say, you know, there's
two different sides for the most part in

564
00:41:54.960 --> 00:41:58.760
private. But I'm also an open
book. I don't care you know,

565
00:41:58.880 --> 00:42:01.559
I am who I am. I'll
tell people, you know, the truth,

566
00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:07.039
if you want to know something about
me. Just ask ye and I'll

567
00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:09.559
give you an answer. Did I
expand on that good enough for you?

568
00:42:09.639 --> 00:42:13.519
Or yeah? I mean, but
when it comes like relationships and stuff like

569
00:42:13.559 --> 00:42:15.519
that, I don't know. I
feel like every relationship. When it comes

570
00:42:15.519 --> 00:42:19.559
to relationships, because that's a big
part of your life, right. You

571
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:22.840
see some people in their profiles they're
putting out there who they're dating, who

572
00:42:22.840 --> 00:42:27.159
they're in a relationship with, who
they're married to. I would like to

573
00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:30.280
say, for the most part,
I'm a little bit more conservative on that

574
00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:34.280
side. I've done that before.
I just don't think that your private life

575
00:42:34.360 --> 00:42:37.679
is always for display. I do
think that, you know, it's good

576
00:42:37.719 --> 00:42:42.639
to show your partner respect enough to
where you're not like hiding them, But

577
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:45.079
I don't see the need to put
your entire relationship and every step of that

578
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:50.480
relationship on the forefront for everybody to
see. There's certain things for me that

579
00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:53.760
are just sacred and I don't feel
like I have to share that with everybody.

580
00:42:53.840 --> 00:42:58.119
And there's certain things that I don't
feel like I have to share with

581
00:42:58.159 --> 00:43:01.159
the people closest to me, or
maybe one person would resonate with that more

582
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:04.559
than the other. So it just
depends. I mean, for the most

583
00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:08.239
part, I'm an open book.
But you know, when it's time to

584
00:43:08.360 --> 00:43:13.400
like not share everything, I just
don't, you know, absolutely, and

585
00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:17.360
I am very much you know the
same. When it comes to my personal

586
00:43:17.480 --> 00:43:22.480
my private I believe in the in
that sense, in the old way of

587
00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:29.559
how we handle that. You know, I like to be mysterious. I

588
00:43:29.639 --> 00:43:36.320
do. I like to be I
like when someone lives a certain experience with

589
00:43:36.360 --> 00:43:39.559
me and it's only that person and
I that are living in that experience.

590
00:43:39.599 --> 00:43:45.199
There's a certain beauty to that,
right that this is not registered, this

591
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:50.599
moment right now is not registered anywhere
else, just in your mind and mind,

592
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:53.800
right, I think there's a beauty
to that. You know, there's

593
00:43:53.840 --> 00:44:00.119
also a beauty to you separating your
personal in a way. And you know

594
00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:05.320
I put personal pictures sometimes, and
you know, I talk about my personal

595
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.119
life because now at the reality,
like I said, it is all a

596
00:44:07.239 --> 00:44:10.719
mesh, right, but I allow
it to be to a certain point.

597
00:44:12.679 --> 00:44:16.760
When you look at my social media
is all mostly business, yeah, all

598
00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:21.480
of them. I don't have a
personal social media. If you're in in

599
00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:24.119
my life and you're living these moments
with me, there's no reason as to

600
00:44:24.159 --> 00:44:29.639
why we have to necessarily be like
showing the world like yeah, you know

601
00:44:29.679 --> 00:44:34.280
what I mean. I like to
hold I like to hold certain mystery.

602
00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:38.119
Yeah yeah, I can agree with
that. Yeah yeah, I don't know

603
00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:40.519
how. You know, there's some
people that like live their life for social

604
00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:45.199
media all day every day, there's
recording and everything. I don't know that.

605
00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:47.400
It drives me nuts. I need
some sense of like, I need

606
00:44:47.400 --> 00:44:51.039
like me time. So my me
time is like when I'm not when the

607
00:44:51.079 --> 00:44:53.119
camera is like not on me,
you know, like that's my version of

608
00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:55.920
me times. But there's some people
and they do a great job with it.

609
00:44:57.000 --> 00:44:59.559
I'm not saying that they don't.
It must be like their job to

610
00:44:59.639 --> 00:45:04.559
do that, but it is.
It's very invasive, I think extreme private

611
00:45:04.559 --> 00:45:09.079
and personal lifestyle and extremely you can't
really be enjoying every single moment if you're

612
00:45:09.880 --> 00:45:15.119
forcing, you know, to record
what happened. What happens with that is

613
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:22.440
that innately, even those that say
they're being real, they're not. You're

614
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:27.519
really staging the real even the real
part of the struggles, you're still staging

615
00:45:28.000 --> 00:45:31.000
because let's be let's be honest here, when you're in the eye of the

616
00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:37.400
public, you want to be seen
under a certain light, right, Nobody

617
00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:39.800
wants to be seen as the worst
of the worst, a scumbag, or

618
00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:44.519
you know, in a negative light. Everybody wants to be seen in a

619
00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:49.559
positive light. That's just innate in
humanity. Yeah, right, So how

620
00:45:49.800 --> 00:45:54.519
real are you really going to be? Right? Even those that post the

621
00:45:54.599 --> 00:46:00.519
struggles or whatever, that's even kind
of man manipulated in a way. So

622
00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:05.440
it doesn't look that bad, you
know what I mean, or it looks

623
00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:08.760
worse right whenever. So for example, when we're talking a good example of

624
00:46:08.800 --> 00:46:14.559
that is when we're talking about,
um, what is this reality shows?

625
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:19.599
We all know reality shows are not
real. They're scripted, and the producers

626
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:23.159
create this situation where it's more drama. I think they're more stage than they

627
00:46:23.159 --> 00:46:27.719
are scripted. I've been behind they're
stage. So they give you like a

628
00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:34.559
setting and like it takes its natural
kind of well scripted. It's well scripted

629
00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:38.719
in that way. But scripted could
also mean that line by line it was

630
00:46:38.760 --> 00:46:45.199
written. It's not always like that. Sometimes it's just like fashion is.

631
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:51.519
It's being premeditated and planned. There
is a producer that is thinking about what

632
00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:55.960
will catch somebody's attention the most.
Let's make them fight right now? Let's

633
00:46:57.039 --> 00:47:00.360
make this drama, you know,
a little bigger. Let's make her you

634
00:47:00.400 --> 00:47:06.880
know, all this is done behind
the scene. So that is being done

635
00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:09.840
in social media now yeah, oh
yeah, so so social media essentially is

636
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:14.199
the reality is the reality show?
Would you do a reality TV? Would

637
00:47:14.199 --> 00:47:17.880
you ever do reality TV? How
do you feel about it? That's a

638
00:47:17.880 --> 00:47:22.800
good question, and I would say
it depends I would do it. I

639
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:24.960
would do it. I would say
it depends too. I think I could

640
00:47:25.000 --> 00:47:28.400
be on any of those shows they
have, like so many, oh my

641
00:47:28.519 --> 00:47:30.679
god, they have so many drama
filled shows, like so many of them.

642
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:32.719
I think I would do good on
any of them, you know,

643
00:47:32.760 --> 00:47:36.880
because I'm chamileonic, Like I said, I can relate to so many different

644
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:39.559
situations scenarios. You put me somewhere, I could all conform to that and

645
00:47:39.599 --> 00:47:45.079
it's still you know, the real
the real me. Yeah, it's still

646
00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:50.400
the real me, like the core
of me and everything orange flavor. But

647
00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:53.519
there's just exactly but there's just certain
ways that I just don't want to market

648
00:47:53.599 --> 00:47:57.320
myself anymore, Like I don't want
to get stuck there. Like if you

649
00:47:57.320 --> 00:48:00.199
put me on like the like Bad
Girls Club or something like that, can

650
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:01.400
I be a bad girl. Yeah, I could be a bad girl,

651
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:07.159
definitely can, but that's not how
I want to market myself, you know,

652
00:48:07.239 --> 00:48:08.840
and that's not what I want to
be known for. And I also

653
00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:15.039
don't think it's going to help you
know, certain aspects of my life,

654
00:48:15.079 --> 00:48:17.159
like, especially in business, How
would a show like that help me?

655
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:24.039
Unless you know, because everybody's you
know, everyone's clients and everyone's um base.

656
00:48:24.400 --> 00:48:28.360
As far as business is going to
come from a different place, maybe

657
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:30.559
all of the bad girls would be
you know, those will be my clients.

658
00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:36.039
You know. I don't know,
But there's just certain um there's certain

659
00:48:36.119 --> 00:48:39.199
narratives that I just don't want to
participate in because I don't want it to

660
00:48:39.239 --> 00:48:44.559
affect me negatively. Well you know
in a way. That's that's my point

661
00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:50.719
of saying. It depends especially what
I am purposely trying to create. This

662
00:48:50.800 --> 00:48:53.639
is where you know, and your
bigger picture comes into play. If I

663
00:48:53.639 --> 00:48:57.440
didn't know where I was going,
what I wanted to do, you would

664
00:48:57.480 --> 00:48:59.840
just do whatever. I would just
do whatever, like you know, what

665
00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:02.280
make me famous? Do you know
how many people I know that just do

666
00:49:02.360 --> 00:49:06.559
whatever? Like there's so many people
that just like do whatever just to get

667
00:49:06.639 --> 00:49:09.000
somewhere. Well, but it works. I mean, I guess it gives

668
00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:14.960
them purpose. Well well, well, I mean every every situation is different

669
00:49:14.960 --> 00:49:17.280
and every person is different, you
know. But for the most part,

670
00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:23.039
in the majority, a lot of
people today want to go viral. Do

671
00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:27.519
whatever it takes to go viral.
Yeah, put me in here, put

672
00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:29.119
me in there, and do this, do that. I just want to

673
00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:30.559
go viral. My question to you
is, why the heck do you want

674
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:35.760
to go viral? Because do you
understand that after you go viral, that's

675
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:39.239
a whole lot of freaking pressure is
going to be under a microscope. But

676
00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:43.400
some people like that. That's not
pressure to everybody. Some people like that.

677
00:49:43.519 --> 00:49:45.360
Oh but wait, wait, wait, wait, okay. Some people

678
00:49:45.400 --> 00:49:50.800
may like that because they like the
adrenaline, they like the attention. But

679
00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:54.599
is it good for them? Right, because there's a whole lot of people

680
00:49:55.159 --> 00:49:59.800
that have gone viral. Does the
world know about them now? No?

681
00:50:00.039 --> 00:50:04.360
Because as easy as they know about
you, it's just as easy as they

682
00:50:04.360 --> 00:50:08.519
will forget about you. You got
to stay relevant, right, So is

683
00:50:08.559 --> 00:50:12.960
it really worth it to only go
viral? What the heck did you just

684
00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:15.559
do? You just put your life
under a microscope for no freaking reason.

685
00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:21.519
Now, if you know you're a
bigger picture, if you know where you

686
00:50:21.559 --> 00:50:24.119
want to go, what you want
to do when you're why you would direct

687
00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:30.719
that traffic. Now that's why the
benefit of you knowing your bigger picture.

688
00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:34.239
Yeah, Now, okay, I
went viral, Ladies and gentlemen, this

689
00:50:34.320 --> 00:50:36.480
is what I'm doing. I'm doing
this, I'm doing that, I'm doing

690
00:50:36.519 --> 00:50:38.320
this project, and you follow me
here blah blah blah. Now there's a

691
00:50:38.400 --> 00:50:44.519
purpose. Now, there is an
avenue to where you're directing that traffic.

692
00:50:44.639 --> 00:50:46.880
What's a reason to keep putting out
content? Right? You know? So

693
00:50:47.679 --> 00:50:52.920
it's always about your why. Yeah? Is your why only to become famous?

694
00:50:53.039 --> 00:50:58.920
Or is your why to direct people
towards your bigger vision? Yeah,

695
00:50:59.039 --> 00:51:01.639
you know, don't get me start
on that. I hear, I hear

696
00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:07.920
the passion in your voice. But
yeah, I mean, I mean,

697
00:51:07.960 --> 00:51:09.320
going going viral is fine, But
like you said, I'd rather have a

698
00:51:09.320 --> 00:51:15.000
purpose attached to it. You know, I think I think the business behind

699
00:51:15.039 --> 00:51:22.599
it and the um the money aspect
for me is more important than just being

700
00:51:22.719 --> 00:51:25.960
famous. Like I don't need everybody
to know me, but the people that

701
00:51:27.039 --> 00:51:30.000
do need to know me, I
want them to respect me for my work,

702
00:51:30.760 --> 00:51:34.519
you know, and I want to
to do well you know, in

703
00:51:35.159 --> 00:51:39.800
that arena. So it's not important
to me to go viral for everybody to

704
00:51:39.840 --> 00:51:44.480
see me. It's just you know, everybody. It's almost like choosing your

705
00:51:44.480 --> 00:51:47.599
audience. You know, you got
to know who your audience is and you've

706
00:51:49.239 --> 00:51:51.679
and you got to know your purpose. But yeah, I know people that

707
00:51:51.760 --> 00:51:55.400
are very well known internationally that you
know, if I say the name,

708
00:51:55.760 --> 00:52:00.119
they would know, but they don't
have a penny in the bank. But

709
00:52:00.159 --> 00:52:04.599
there's a lot of people like that. There's a lot of people. But

710
00:52:04.639 --> 00:52:07.639
there's a lot there's a lot of
people. And I have met a lot

711
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:14.199
of people that have tons of followers, a huge following, but their following

712
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:17.280
doesn't feed their business, so I
doesn't feed their life in general, it

713
00:52:17.320 --> 00:52:21.920
doesn't. But you know, that's
their starting point. They have the following.

714
00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:24.519
Now they have to use capitalize on
the following in order to you know,

715
00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:30.280
to make it make sense, not
always you. That has to be

716
00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:35.880
purposely done, right, it has
to be purposely channeled because if not,

717
00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:38.480
those are just going to be people
that they just know about you. And

718
00:52:39.039 --> 00:52:44.159
I know a heck of a lot
of people like that they've gone viral from

719
00:52:44.239 --> 00:52:46.639
one day to the next because they
were doing stupid videos, funny videos,

720
00:52:47.119 --> 00:52:51.519
you know, or whatever it is, and then that's it. There's just

721
00:52:51.599 --> 00:52:54.519
somebody that went viral. At the
end of my life, I don't want

722
00:52:54.559 --> 00:52:59.920
to say I was somebody that just
went viral. I want there to be

723
00:53:00.119 --> 00:53:04.559
a purpose me personally. There's some
people that are okay, living like that,

724
00:53:04.880 --> 00:53:07.599
yeah, you know, living paycheck
to paycheck, having no money in

725
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:10.079
the bank. But but just people
knowing about them. Okay, if that's

726
00:53:10.159 --> 00:53:15.760
your sense of purpose. But I
want that to have more meaning in my

727
00:53:15.800 --> 00:53:21.559
life. I want my my following, my fame to mean that I'm contributing

728
00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:25.559
to the world in a much greater
scale than just me being known. Yeah,

729
00:53:25.599 --> 00:53:29.079
no, I know what you mean. So you're saying that the pressure

730
00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:35.079
comes in having that following without the
purpose, Absolutely I agree, absolute agree

731
00:53:35.079 --> 00:53:37.960
with that, and and that following
not This is where I speak to a

732
00:53:37.960 --> 00:53:42.679
lot of youth, a lot of
you know, young people, and they

733
00:53:42.679 --> 00:53:45.679
all say, I want to be
famous or I want to you know,

734
00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:47.119
I want to be known, or
I want to go viral. I'm like,

735
00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:52.480
what is your why, right,
why you want to be famous?

736
00:53:52.559 --> 00:54:00.440
Because the pressure that comes with being
famous is heavy, especially not everybody is

737
00:54:00.480 --> 00:54:05.400
prepared for that. Are you prepared
for people criticizing every single aspect of you?

738
00:54:05.400 --> 00:54:07.000
Your look, the way you've talked, the way you walk, your

739
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:12.360
style, you're blah blah blah.
Everything will be criticized because you have the

740
00:54:12.400 --> 00:54:16.320
good and the bad, right are
you ready for that? I mean most

741
00:54:16.360 --> 00:54:20.440
of the people, you know,
a lot of these young people are not

742
00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:28.000
m you know what I mean.
Yeah, Absolutely, it's a crazy it's

743
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:31.679
a listen, it's a very crazy
topic to UM to address. You know,

744
00:54:31.960 --> 00:54:36.760
we just talked about so much.
We're both in radio, and you

745
00:54:36.760 --> 00:54:38.280
know, at any point we can
go viral. You know, at any

746
00:54:38.280 --> 00:54:42.800
point we can go viral. UM. But you know, if it should,

747
00:54:43.360 --> 00:54:45.679
should that be the case on any
given show, I would want it

748
00:54:45.760 --> 00:54:51.039
to have more purpose and meaning than
not. Absolutely I agree with you on

749
00:54:51.159 --> 00:54:55.320
that. And I think today we
put too much emphasis and that's shifting now,

750
00:54:55.679 --> 00:55:00.000
but we put too much emphasis on
how many followings we have. We've

751
00:55:00.000 --> 00:55:07.280
put so much value, empty value
to that that we've really we have a

752
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:10.639
lot of people, for example,
that are prior to the Internet or social

753
00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:17.320
media era that are incredibly talented,
incredibly famous in their own right that do

754
00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:23.840
not have so many followers, and
they're now being you know, weighted on

755
00:55:24.159 --> 00:55:28.840
how many followers you have, which
is an empty kind of you know,

756
00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:32.719
weighing system. It's empty, Okay, this is how many people follow you.

757
00:55:32.960 --> 00:55:39.519
And some of the most successful people
in the world, some of the

758
00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:45.199
most wealthiest people in the world,
do not even have an Instagram hands all

759
00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:51.320
or a Facebook handle, like most
of those people actually are not on social

760
00:55:51.360 --> 00:55:55.800
media. So while someone's following can
vary, it can vary for a reason.

761
00:55:55.960 --> 00:56:00.519
You know. In order for your
social media handle to get to discovered

762
00:56:00.239 --> 00:56:04.239
essentially by people, you have to
put yourself out there. You have to

763
00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:07.360
post a lot, you have to
reach out maybe like follow, do all

764
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:09.599
these things. There's things that need
to be done, and then you have

765
00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:13.239
people who are doing any people who
don't do it. And it's just really

766
00:56:13.239 --> 00:56:16.039
that simple, right, you know. And that's another thing, like personally,

767
00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:22.760
I've in my social media I've trained
people not to have to see me

768
00:56:22.880 --> 00:56:24.519
every single day. You're not going
to see me every day. I'm not

769
00:56:24.559 --> 00:56:29.320
going to be a slave on the
phone because you want to see me every

770
00:56:29.400 --> 00:56:34.239
day just because No, that's being
a slave. Oh today, I have

771
00:56:34.280 --> 00:56:37.559
to do this because they have to
see me. I have to live,

772
00:56:37.840 --> 00:56:40.519
I have to do business. I
have a lot to do. You know.

773
00:56:40.599 --> 00:56:50.079
I you cannot train people to have
to see you every single day.

774
00:56:50.599 --> 00:56:52.400
Do you really want to be a
slave like that. That's a good point.

775
00:56:53.400 --> 00:56:55.840
Yeah, that's a good point.
I mean I do want everybody to

776
00:56:55.840 --> 00:57:00.239
be a slave to my show.
However, So the Marissa Watley Show we're

777
00:57:00.280 --> 00:57:05.079

00:57:09.760 --> 00:57:14.119

a good time today. Today was just

780
00:57:14.159 --> 00:57:16.800
open conversation. We're just being silly, going back and forth in certain topics.
