David Afra grew up 194 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:07.759 in the vibrant streets of East Los Angeles, where life 195 00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.440 wasn't always easy, but the sense of community was strong. 196 00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:12.799 His parents, immigrants who. 197 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:16.720 Worked tirelessly to provide for their family, always encourage him 198 00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:20.080 to focus on education. From a young age, David had 199 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:23.919 a knack for numbers and enjoyed helping his dad balance 200 00:09:23.960 --> 00:09:27.759 the family's budget. That spark grew into a passion, and 201 00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:31.759 David set his sights on becoming an accountant. After graduating 202 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.960 from high school, David enrolled into the local college to 203 00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.519 pursue his dream. While balancing part time jobs to pay 204 00:09:38.519 --> 00:09:42.639 for his classes, He gained valuable experiences by offering free 205 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:46.919 tax prep help to neighbors during tax season. His commitment 206 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:49.399 to giving back was inspired by the people around him 207 00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.679 who believed in lifting each other up. By the time 208 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.559 David completed his accounting degree, he was eager not only 209 00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.440 to launch his career, but also to find a way 210 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.639 to continue helping others in his community. That's when he 211 00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:08.000 discovered heartsofla dot org. Drawn to their mission of providing 212 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:11.840 free programs and resources to understand youth and families. David 213 00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:15.360 saw an opportunity to use his skills in a meaningful way. 214 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:20.360 He started volunteering as a financial literacy mentor, teaching workshops 215 00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:23.799 on budgeting and saving. His efforts gave families the tools 216 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:27.399 they needed to manage their money more effectively, empowering them 217 00:10:27.440 --> 00:10:31.360 to build a better future. Hearts of La, also known 218 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:35.480 as OLA Hola, has been a cornerstone of support for 219 00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:39.360 East LA residents for decades. The organization offers a wide 220 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:44.840 range of programs, including academic tutoring, arts education, sports leagues, 221 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:50.080 and careers readiness workshops. OLA's mission is simply is simple, 222 00:10:50.159 --> 00:10:53.320 but impactful, to create a safe and supportive space where 223 00:10:53.399 --> 00:10:56.720 kids and families can grow, thrive, and dream big. Through 224 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.879 OLA Hola, David has seen firsthand how lives are changed. 225 00:11:02.159 --> 00:11:05.600 Kids who once struggled with schoolwork now find confidence through 226 00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:10.600 after school programs. Families facing financial hardships learn how to 227 00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:15.399 control take control of their finances through classes and Being 228 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:17.799 a part of OLA is more than volunteering. It's a 229 00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:20.320 chance to give back to the neighborhood that shaped him 230 00:11:20.720 --> 00:11:24.720 and ensure the next generation has even more opportunities to succeed. 231 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:30.799 And I think that discussing finances. Budgeting is always and 232 00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:34.639 saving is always important and a big part of family. 233 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.200 So David, I just want to say thank you.

I'm 241 00:11:58.879 --> 00:12:01.720 also in the you know, other than broadcasting, I'm also 242 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.879 in the finance world, and I've worked for two business 243 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.639 management firms and so yes, I know about numbers. It's 244 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:12.000 not what I love, but it's not my passion, right, 245 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:16.279 But we were discussing numbers and he was telling me about, 246 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:19.600 you know, how he got involved in this organization and 247 00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:22.840 he also listens to KFI and so he said, you know, 248 00:12:23.360 --> 00:12:24.679 have you talked about them before? 249 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:26.159 And I said, I don't think, so let me look 250 00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:26.559 them up. 251 00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:28.600 And so I looked them up and so we had 252 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:33.519 a nice little conversation and I was really intrigued because 253 00:12:33.759 --> 00:12:38.120 I think at a small age he was introduced to numbers, 254 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.679 which kind of reminded me of my dad didn't. 255 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.120 Let me go outside to play enough. 256 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.960 I had to do multiplications in addition and subtractions before 257 00:12:47.960 --> 00:12:49.200 I wanted to gout to play. 258 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:52.279 He would give me about it. He would give me two. 259 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:55.360 I mean, but as a kid, you know, it's like, oh, boring, sure, 260 00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:58.679 but but it would always you know, it kind of 261 00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:03.440 got me into like what numbers was really about. And 262 00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:07.120 also he would give me play money and we would 263 00:13:07.120 --> 00:13:10.480 discuss transactions and he would and so when I was 264 00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:12.159 talking to David, he goes, oh, my dad would do 265 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.639 the Monopoly money thing to me, and I'd go, oh, really, 266 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.600 he goes yeah. And sometimes we would play Monopoly and 267 00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:21.080 we would buy you know, how you buy hotels and 268 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:23.679 all that other stuff, and it was it was really 269 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:25.240 a game of thinking. 270 00:13:24.919 --> 00:13:26.320 And numbers at the same time. 271 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.720 And I think that we need to introduce that to 272 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.759 the youth, because yes, I know in high school I 273 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.559 took economics, but I don't think that's enough for the 274 00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:39.399 youth of today. And I see so many people that 275 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:42.320 are struggling in debt, and they're just racking up their 276 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.799 credit cards and getting all these loans and they don't 277 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:47.720 know how to manage their finances. 278 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:52.759 I have been long, long, been a proponent of mandatory 279 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:57.759 financial literacy classes as a requirement for high school graduation. 280 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:01.120 Oh yes, Oh definitely. And I want to add something 281 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.200 because this kind of talking to David. You know, I 282 00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:07.759 sometimes when I talk to people, I just I do 283 00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:10.000 a little bit of research and then it gets your 284 00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:10.639 mind going. 285 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:15.159 And during that week I went, I went. I saw 286 00:14:15.200 --> 00:14:15.879 on Netflix. 287 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:18.039 I don't know if you've seen, but it's this documentary 288 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:19.519 called By Now have. 289 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:20.120 You seen it? 290 00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:22.039 I'm aware of it, but I haven't seen it. 291 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:27.960 Okay, Well, this has to do with financial financial freedom. 292 00:14:28.159 --> 00:14:32.080 It talks about your finances and how much you're spending 293 00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:36.200 and how we're just clicking to buy and consumerism and 294 00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:37.679 also I think another. 295 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:38.840 Thing you should definitely see this. 296 00:14:38.919 --> 00:14:40.519 I don't want to give too much away, but it 297 00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:45.279 is a musty documentary for everyone. Of it talks about 298 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:48.559 finances and how you just click and it gets to 299 00:14:48.639 --> 00:14:53.480 your door, and over consumerism and how we are messing 300 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:57.600 up the the What should I say? I would say, 301 00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:00.279 how we're messing up the earth with all all the 302 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:04.320 technology that we're throwing throwing away, but we're not really 303 00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:08.960 recycling that's the part that really just well made me irate. 304 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.679 We are not really recycling even though we think that 305 00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:15.799 we're recycling. And also something that you should also look into, 306 00:15:16.120 --> 00:15:20.559 I think is minimalism or minimalism ish, as they say 307 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:23.559 on TikTok, how to live that kind of life, because 308 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:26.240 when you start cluttering your life with too much, you're 309 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:28.799 just buying, buying, buying, buying, and spending your money. 310 00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:30.600 You are overstressing yourself. 311 00:15:30.840 --> 00:15:32.159 Oh, it can be very stressful. 312 00:15:32.399 --> 00:15:35.759 And we live in a world where it's always talked 313 00:15:35.799 --> 00:15:37.919 to us to have more and not be more, not 314 00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:38.759 do more. 315 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:41.399 I want more in my bank account. I don't want 316 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:42.840 more in my house. 317 00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:44.759 I actually want less. 318 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:47.960 I want to have enough of my bank account where 319 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:50.720 I don't have to stress, where I don't feel the 320 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:53.399 need to worry about this, that or the other. I 321 00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.559 don't need to have billions of dollars. I really don't. 322 00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:58.679 That's never been my aspiration. 323 00:15:58.360 --> 00:16:01.840 No mine, you know. I don't like to buy anything 324 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:05.279 that's trendy. I see things that are on TikTok and 325 00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:07.360 on Instagram, and I go, oh, that's kind of cool, 326 00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:08.159 But do I need it? 327 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:09.080 You know? 328 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:12.279 And I live in a really small place, the square 329 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.120 footage is really small. So I always think when I'm purchasing, 330 00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:16.639 I go, do I really need it? 331 00:16:16.679 --> 00:16:17.840 Where am I gonna put it? 332 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:18.320 Yes? 333 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:20.879 Thank you?

And also another thing, and I want to 339 00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:34.960 talk about this in the new year, about upcycling and recycling. 340 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:38.279 And you know, instead of maybe you don't want to 341 00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:42.159 drop it off to, I'll say one of those donation places. 342 00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:45.759 How about asking your friends about, Hey, do you need this? 343 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:50.200 Facebook marketplace has a freebee section of a lot of people. 344 00:16:50.279 --> 00:16:52.159 I put stuff there for free too, like, you know, 345 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.159 do you need this?

I am still pissed about how 359 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:56.880 awful Dexter New Blood was a couple of years ago, 360 00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:59.279 especially the ending. And I'm going to give you a 361 00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:03.400 spoiler here. It's two years old. Dexter's own annoying son 362 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.720 killed him at the end. Number two Young Sheldon, Young 363 00:18:07.759 --> 00:18:12.319 Indiana Jones, Young James Bond, Young Sherlock Holmes, young John Seaholmes. 364 00:18:12.559 --> 00:18:13.799 I don't care about any of that. 365 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.119 Just the other day, Tula and I were still joking 366 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:19.200 about the badness of the Young Hans Solo movie and 367 00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:22.359 how he got his name more like Hack Solo. These 368 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:26.039 greedy dips into the well with characters we love usually suck, 369 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.000 but at least they also diminish the characters. It's kind 370 00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:31.640 of like getting into a BodyCount discussion with somebody you've 371 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:33.720 been dating. You may think you want to know it, 372 00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:35.920 but you don't usually feel great by the end of it. 373 00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:40.839 But Dexter Original Sin is mostly an exception to that. Rule, 374 00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.960 I'm not going to leave you in suspense. I liked it, 375 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:46.400 and I found myself smirking through the whole thing. Here's 376 00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:48.319 some of the trailer, and I hope there's no dirty 377 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:50.119 words in it. 378 00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:55.720 It really is like they say, your life flashes before 379 00:18:55.759 --> 00:19:04.000 your eyes. Beginning there was blood. What a code I 380 00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.160 learned from my father, A code to make sure you 381 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:10.039 are different from the people that you're killed. It was simple, 382 00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:19.039 kill the bad guys who escaped justice. Don't get caught myself. 383 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:21.680 If anyone knows how powerful lurgies can be, it's me. 384 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.440 Trust me, you stay, of course, you'll be fine. 385 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.960 All dex plemiside looks good on You couldn't agree more 386 00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:33.240 about this stuff. Where's my desk up? 387 00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:42.319 Photograph the entire scene, spatter matters. It's starting to look 388 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:44.440 like a serial killer art project up in here. 389 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:47.839 So I got myself a job. 390 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:50.599 Welcome to Miami Metro the first day of the rest 391 00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:51.119 of your life. 392 00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:53.119 That seems like a good place to stop it now. 393 00:19:53.119 --> 00:19:56.359 When I first read that, after Dexter had died again 394 00:19:56.599 --> 00:20:00.359 by getting shot by his own annoying son, that they 395 00:20:00.359 --> 00:20:02.200 were going back to the well with a young Dexter. 396 00:20:02.319 --> 00:20:05.160 Origin series My reaction was something along the lines of 397 00:20:05.519 --> 00:20:07.319 you pieces of crap? Do you have to ring every 398 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:10.519 last drop out of absolutely everything? Have you no decency? 399 00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:13.519 Let's be honest here. That fourth season of Dexter with 400 00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:16.200 John Lithgow as Trinity was maybe the high point of 401 00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:18.720
