This was an extension of my Thankful Thursdays thoughts and doings. I wanted to speak (more) about having, and ultimately finding gratitude in the things that surround us. Granted, it's very easy to focus on what factors aren't assisting specific systems and environments, but it seems difficult to find the small, or big things that serve us. In this state of things, we have to learn to lean more in what serves us greatly. Even if it's a little gesture. In this episode, I share my thoughts on how I show gratitude and grace to what I've been fortune to experience. Hopefully, it'll resonate with others.

Great day or evening, Neighbors and Groovers. This is a short one. I took an article that I wrote about this podcast and made it in an audio version. Boom for the short work...even though writing the article was quicker than recording it. Over on my Substack page, I'm writing articles about the numerous components that make up The MPN Network. I believe this is my fourth article that I've written. More will come, for sure. The plan is to write an article up until December 2025. We're celebrating the whole year in content creating style, and Clear Visions is definitely part of the reason why MPN exists. Again, if you read the article...cheers to 5 years of MPN and the creation of everything around it. Cheers as well to Clear Visions.

1. work (noun): activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result.Ex. "he was tired after a day's work"Based off the definition, a lot of people, organizations, institutions are not doing the work to reach the results. Maybe the results are in the beholder of who is doing the work. Listen...I don't know. I do know that people work ethics are simply trash. Someone might believe that my work ethic isn't the best. They better not say it publicly because I'll become aggressive about that. I WORK. PROUDLY and for purpose. Anywho...I had my brothers Krate Digga and Shawn 'S-Squared' Smith join me for a conversation about what work and the ethics mean to them. I also want to figure out if I need to join the crew of people that don't do a thing or keep going with how I do things. Spoiler alert: I'm going to do it my way still...and stay proud.

I've had this script since September of 2023 and I performed a test run on the process in June 2024. I'm sure on why it took long. I was being a student and everything else you can name and didn't lend myself to the creative side. I thought about it often but I wanted to be free of obligations when I had the chance to fall in to experimentation Pete......the irony was that I had two gigs the same day I got the bright idea to start on it. The creative side was itching for a scratch...so here we are with a recorded script. Its partially fiction and non-fiction, the voices (the phone call and the guy I run in to) are AI-generated (I'll explain later because if you know, I dislike AI for one reason), and of course I would love to have it fit a 'perfect' mode, but when I experiment, part of the mission is to release it to the world with no expectations and no care in the world. With that, more technical ambiences and soundscapes would have been inputted, but I'm in the mode of closing out business. This is one of them. More to come. I have five other scripts to flush out. Clear Visions with the playground moves...and for the win. Enjoy. Follow all socials and subscribe to my websites: Mr. Al Pete and The MPN Network.

The SQ3 return to the podmosphere to cover the latest…….y'know what, later for the typical episode description that you're used to.

We also spend some time giving light and love to some artists and songs that have us in a chokehold (as per our usual program).During the show, Mr. Al Pete references his episode about how artists should submit their music and build relationships with DJs, media network, music curators, etc. Listen to this episode HERE for a guide on how to submit music and the benefits of having an EPK. Enjoy this latest episode and make sure you are subscribed to The Soul Qurators Podcast, powered by The MPN Network.Swing by this link to purchase The Soul Qurators merch and follow each hosts individually and collectively: https://linktr.ee/thesoulquratorsAudio and video produced by The MPN Network. 

We're pushing and pulling…pushing and pulling…AND pushing and pulling, yall. *laughs*Here's a quick pod episode where I speak on some school things: push strategy and pull strategy. I understand these methods but reading it in the space that I'm in made the ‘ah haa' light bulb come on. I share my…vision…on how push and pull strategies apply to marketing…or whatever your involvement is with your purpose in life (shout out to the capitalist/'GET MONEY' folks out there). I'm not near my book to reference it, but I'm thorough with it, so it's good. Enjoy. #TOTHETOPFollow all socials and subscribe to my websites: Mr. Al Pete and The MPN Network.
