1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Creativity is an addiction, unplugged because we will always say

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,280
yes to creativity, totally uncut because we all make mistakes.

3
00:00:07,559 --> 00:00:11,199
So turn it into a tool. This is arrow unplugged.

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: Hey, Sarah, hyness is vocal d frag. Vocal d fragging

5
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:18,280
is an opportunity for you to ask yourself questions and

6
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,199
then question the answers, getting to know who you are

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:28,800
by way of building a strong relationship required for those steps,

8
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,640
those misguided falls.

9
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 3: Asking questions so that you.

10
00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:36,759
Speaker 2: Can better prepare your mind, body, and soul to be

11
00:00:36,759 --> 00:00:39,119
able to handle things that are being delivered to you daily.

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,399
When I go out in one of these vocal d frags,

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,920
I'm walking through a forest. I call it a transition walk.

14
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,479
I'm here to listen to the atmosphere of everything that

15
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,000
is right now. It could be the hawk that flies

16
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:53,799
over my head every freaking time I come out here.

17
00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:56,399
It's like, dude, do you need a friend? Why don't

18
00:00:56,399 --> 00:00:59,039
you come sit beside me sometime and have a conversation.

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,039
Don't be zooming buy me at all times. So asking

20
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:06,000
the questions and questioning the answers can be, you know,

21
00:01:06,079 --> 00:01:09,159
kind of stupid, Like when you first start doing a

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,120
vocal d FRAG. Now I also do a d FRAG journal,

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,079
which I've been doing since November of twenty seventeen, asking

24
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,560
those questions, getting to the point, and then taking that

25
00:01:20,599 --> 00:01:23,200
point and say, you know what, You're not a point,

26
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:24,719
You're a dull edge.

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: I need to ask more questions. This is vocal d FRAG.

28
00:01:30,239 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 2: One of the things that's pretty heavy on my heart

29
00:01:31,799 --> 00:01:35,560
today is something that happened yesterday. My wife and I

30
00:01:35,599 --> 00:01:38,560
do a lot of things for the community. We were

31
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,640
raising some funds. Did you hear it the hawk? Did

32
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,040
you hear that? I'm telling you, man, every time that

33
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,000
little bugger flies across and he's gonna sit here and

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,680
soar buy us over and over again. Anyway, my wife

35
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,799
and I, we do a lot in the community to

36
00:01:55,879 --> 00:02:01,040
help raise funds for different nonprofit organizations. Go into those

37
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:07,439
projects with our music expecting to make nothing. I want

38
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:09,319
that to kind of soak in a little bit. Okay,

39
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,039
how often in your everyday walk do you go into

40
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,879
a place of performance. Be it that you're a boss

41
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,879
at a job, an employee that just wants to empower

42
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:30,319
others to be lifted, going into a performance expecting to

43
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,599
make nothing. So heavy thing to carry because we live

44
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:37,879
in the society these days that I ain't doing it,

45
00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:40,199
not unless there's something in it for me, I ain't

46
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,120
doing it. We've all played that card. Sometimes we have

47
00:02:44,159 --> 00:02:45,960
a victory with it. Other times it's like, well, man,

48
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,560
that guy's a jerk. Don't work with him.

49
00:02:48,599 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 3: He's a jerk. There's always got to be something in

50
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,159
it for him. What are you giving.

51
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: Today that you're not expecting a return on your investment?

52
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,199
And if you don't yet a return, you're okay, right,

53
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,520
you're right. I mean, you went to work, you listen

54
00:03:06,599 --> 00:03:09,319
to people that stepped in there as your guests. They

55
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,680
needed to be uplifted and they didn't. They didn't leave

56
00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:16,280
you a tip. But you feel good, right because you

57
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,360
made their day. There's a big thing that's going on

58
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:21,919
right now here in the States, and that is an

59
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,199
article that says that people are tired of giving tips.

60
00:03:26,199 --> 00:03:30,400
People are tired of rounding up at the register. People

61
00:03:30,439 --> 00:03:33,800
are tired. You got something. The very fact that you

62
00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:37,360
are there and they did bring you something opens up

63
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:43,120
your heart to maybe you give something. At my essential job,

64
00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:46,560
I take our guests to the bananas they can't find,

65
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,280
or to the peanuts to the frozen section that they

66
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,520
can't seem to find those little barbecued ribs. They can't

67
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,360
find it. So with a big smile, we take a

68
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,840
walk and I show them more. It's at Do I

69
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,479
deserve to receive a tip? No, because I went into

70
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,039
it expecting to receive nothing. I don't know if I

71
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,159
ever shared this on vocal d frag before, but usually

72
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,240
when somebody who plays the lottery gives me a tip,

73
00:04:18,959 --> 00:04:21,839
I keep that money in my wallet. And the reason

74
00:04:21,879 --> 00:04:24,079
why is because there's always going to be a guest

75
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:28,040
who's a couple dollars short and I'm there, so I

76
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,839
keep the tips so I can give it back to

77
00:04:31,879 --> 00:04:36,360
the community. When I went into this past week, I

78
00:04:36,399 --> 00:04:40,920
didn't expect to get tips. What I expected was to

79
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,800
get closer to my community because I make it a

80
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:47,480
physical effort. It's all part of that game sharing and taking.

81
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,519
Are you receiving or are you taking? Because you expect

82
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,000
to get this from your return. When I go into

83
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,439
a broadcasting school and I share the lessons that I

84
00:05:00,439 --> 00:05:04,399
have carried with me for nearly forty four years, I

85
00:05:04,439 --> 00:05:07,439
don't go in there expecting them to take things because

86
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,040
I'm not a very good teacher. When people take things,

87
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:16,319
I like to share ideas, share experiences, share visions, listen

88
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,079
to their visions, and then share even more. It's not

89
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,959
that I'm preaching, because I don't preach. What I do

90
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:25,959
is I share, and so in the process of sharing,

91
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,600
it becomes my goal to share with them. Don't be

92
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,199
a taker, be a receiver. Be grateful for what you're receiving.

93
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,600
And the thing is is that what you're receiving in

94
00:05:37,639 --> 00:05:40,720
this class today is never going to be what someone

95
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,240
else received because I grow from each class, and with

96
00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:49,879
each receiving, you carry a story, one that's yours.

97
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:51,759
Speaker 3: I don't train you to be me.

98
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: I know what I went through, and I'm going to

99
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,600
do everything I can to keep you out of hell

100
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:04,680
going into a project or a performance without expectation. Do

101
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:07,439
you have the courage and the confidence to begin a

102
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,639
lifestyle like that that? When you receive money from out

103
00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:15,839
of nowhere, have you thought about just putting it away

104
00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:22,040
for somebody else who needs to receive? Being kind, being peaceful,

105
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,160
being somebody who cherishes their community. I'm on a path

106
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,680
in a forest. It's already eighty one degrees. The sun

107
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:36,120
is bright, there's light, clouds, in the sky and Jazzy

108
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,079
and I we're currently looking at three deer on the hillside. Oh,

109
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,839
she's locked in on them. Beautiful. They're eating the leaves

110
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,879
off the tree. They got to eat too. You see,

111
00:06:47,879 --> 00:06:50,360
I went into this forest not to get something back

112
00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:55,879
from it, but what I'm receiving is nature. It's a

113
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:02,279
place of peace, mindfulness, being grateful for all the hell

114
00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:06,240
that it's taken to help keep this force alive. You

115
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:08,800
got to prune. We've been doing that now for two weeks.

116
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,800
You got to keep it looking good because the animals,

117
00:07:12,959 --> 00:07:15,040
they don't need to be tripping. I don't want to

118
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,160
see a deer with a hurt foot because well I

119
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,240
was too damn lazy to pick up the log, the

120
00:07:21,319 --> 00:07:30,199
fallen tree, going into things without expectation. This may make it,

121
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:33,240
it may not. It has to go through one hell

122
00:07:33,319 --> 00:07:38,079
of an editing process that takes physically a lot of weeks.

123
00:07:39,199 --> 00:07:42,879
Because when we listen to it again, if I'm not moved,

124
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:48,399
nor will you be? Or is that expecting a reaction

125
00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:50,439
from you?

126
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 3: Question it? Then question the answers him ryl and that's vocal.

127
