1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,599
Speaker 1: Missed opportunity. I love sharing conversations. Now hosting one requires

2
00:00:04,639 --> 00:00:08,320
a lot of show prep. My podcasting platforms feature thousands

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:10,480
of guests. What you don't have access to are my

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,720
missed opportunities. The show prep was completed, the conversation didn't happen.

5
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:18,320
I keep all of my notes believing that one day

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,039
all paths will cross again. Let me explain missed opportunity.

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,839
It's my questions and statements without their answers. I'm leaving

8
00:00:26,879 --> 00:00:29,280
open enough space at the end of each question, hoping

9
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,520
they'll download the talk and insert their answers. It has

10
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:36,799
happened two times. Missed opportunity is a lost piece of history,

11
00:00:37,119 --> 00:00:39,039
like a message in a bottle. It's been tossed out

12
00:00:39,039 --> 00:00:42,960
to see I hope to locate that destination. This week,

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,840
we're putting our focus on my Missed Opportunity with Fox

14
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:50,399
NFL Sunday host Kurt Minafee. The goal was to create

15
00:00:50,439 --> 00:00:54,039
a social media connection with famous shoes from top talented people.

16
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,159
It's called My Cause, My Cleats. US United had launched

17
00:00:59,159 --> 00:01:02,759
a promotion to add unity division was beginning to rise

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,879
in the United States. US United provided leadership tools and

19
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,000
infrastructure to support people taking their first step toward meeting

20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,079
in the middle to confront with openness and honesty. There

21
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:18,040
were some serious social issues taking place in this time.

22
00:01:18,799 --> 00:01:22,680
The Fox NFL Sunday crew invested in this cause, knowing

23
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:26,439
how strong it would be to help locate peace. I

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,359
had been with Kurt Menafee two other times. I saw

25
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,319
his name on the list and I went, Hell, yeah,

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,319
gotta do this. The invitation arrived on December sixth, twenty

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,840
twenty one. I was blessed to have a conversation that

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,400
would take place three days later. At ten oh four am,

29
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:45,480
the zoom link was sent That usually means the spaceship

30
00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:47,799
is ready to rock and we are going to the moon.

31
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:53,480
The morning of all things changed, becoming a missed opportunity.

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,519
All the other times I had spent with Kurt everything

33
00:01:56,599 --> 00:02:00,480
was based on sports. This one was truly inspiring because

34
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:04,159
it brought broadcasters and sports heroes face to face to

35
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,400
deal with today's issues. Coming up next, my questions and

36
00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:16,319
statements for Fox NFL Sunday host Kurt Menifee. Hey, thanks

37
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:19,360
for coming back to my missed opportunity this week. Kurt

38
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,439
Menafee from Fox NFL Sunday. My questions, how do we

39
00:02:24,479 --> 00:02:28,439
get US United into these schools facing weapons, depression and

40
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,240
a serious loss of teachers? Are you wearing a pair

41
00:02:32,319 --> 00:02:37,879
of world champion shoes right now? US United? It's real people,

42
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,319
equal love and equal respect. The team on Fox looks

43
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:49,759
like a real team that embraces friendship, a website, a

44
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,680
learning tool. Beyond this moment, how can people reach out

45
00:02:52,719 --> 00:02:57,280
to US United? You guys are putting a serious amount

46
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,080
of importance on meeting in the middle. That is an

47
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,919
open heart, my cause, my leads. It can't be a

48
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,400
once in a lifetime moment. Do you see it growing

49
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:11,520
in the future. I mean, this is US United's first

50
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,120
celebrated year, and there he habit the questions, the statements,

51
00:03:16,479 --> 00:03:19,840
missed opportunity, a lost piece of history. You now know

52
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,800
the questions. Let's locate the answers. The door is always

53
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,240
going to be open. If you are or no Kurt Menafee,
