Podcasts about I Swear

We had a great conversation with the Recording Academy / GRAMMYs Winning group All-4-One (1/2 of them) on The Chris & Sandy Show. We talked about so many things from God, family, music, sacrifices, they told some amazing stories to a whole lot more. We laughed at things and also even got serious about mental health too.The 90s are back– and nowhere is it more evident than in the new Xbox ballad, “It's All There (I Swear Remix)" . All-4-One, the Grammy Award-winning group that brought you “I Swear” has completely reimagined their landmark hit as a clever parody to promote Xbox All Access in the new commercial, which is making waves with both music fans– and gamers– alike.The legendary group, comprised of Jamie Jones, Delious Kennedy, Alfred Nevarez, and Tony Borowiak, came back together to record the hilarious new music video and song (appearing here via Xbox All Access Records– itself a parody of the actual Xbox All Access gaming system).With 20 million + records sold and over 25 years in the music industry, All-4-One remains one of the most celebrated pop/ R&B acts of all time, continuing to tour throughout the world. And now, the band is back on the road for this Summer's highly-anticipated I Love the 90s Tour–which also features Sir Mix-a-Lot, Vanilla Ice, Coolio, and Color Me Badd.

— “The most interesting stories aren't ones of blame or regret. They're ones of self-examination, where we examine our own involvement in decisions—all of the complicated nuances, that in examining them, lead us to grow. Storytelling is such a powerful tool for healing for ourselves and our communities. But we can only heal what we reveal, which is why Chloe invites vulnerability into her work. She loves to unpack the why of our intentions—the nuances that influence how we show up the way we do—so that we aren't in positions to betray ourselves. Through personal self-examination, Chloe believes we can deepen community.” Valeria Teles interviews Chloe Louvouezo — the author of “Life, I Swear: Intimate Stories from Black Women Exploring Identity, Healing, and Self-Trust” Chloe Dulce Louvouezo is a Congolese-American writer. As a storyteller, she believes in the power of stories for deeper connection and personal healing. Chloe curates prose and experiences that support inclusivity and belonging of underrepresented communities from across diasporas. Her work to develop inclusive spaces is driven by her multicultural background and having lived extensively internationally. In her career in communications, diversity, and inclusion, Chloe has focused on inclusive storytelling at domestic and global organizations addressing education, poverty, and mental health, most recently at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. She is the creator and executive producer of the Life, I Swear podcast, where she explores the nuances of Black women's journeys through post-traumatic growth, resilience and identity.

Exclusive Video: The Integrated Life (Micro-Doc) - https://youtu.be/QQmR9eXbtBM -- Today I want to share with you how to build an EPIC marriage and avoid divorce. But wait a second-- How the heck am I qualified enough to talk about this stuff?  Sure, I’m married… but I’m not a marriage counsellor or a therapist.  The truth is: I’m not “qualified”. I’m just a guy that has worked through some pretty difficult stuff. Before my marriage to Renée, I was engaged to another woman. (Yeah, I bet you weren’t expecting that!) The whole thing fell apart 2 months before the wedding when she came home, dropped the ring on the table and said. “I can’t do this anymore” I thought to myself, “How am I so good at business… but so freakin’ BAD at relationships?” Something had to change. Me. I’ll give you more backstory in today’s video, but these are the 5 tips that I SWEAR by, and that helps make my marriage to Renée the most fulfilling part of my life. I was never naturally gifted at anything.  I was the ADHD kid at school that always got in trouble, and no-one was expecting that I would succeed. My parents divorced when I was a teenager... Despite feeling like the odds were stacked against me… I decided I was going to become a great partner, a great husband and a great father.  No-one was going to stop me… ESPECIALLY not my own damn self. If I became good at business by seeking advice, finding mentors, feeding my brain with books, and always finding ways to improve myself -- then it was time to do the same for relationships. An epic marriage does NOT happen by chance. You work for it. It’s 100% worthwhile, and this video is how I’ve learned to be the best I can. I’d love to know if these 5 tips resonate with you. Drop me a comment on the video and let me know. -- Dan Martell is a serial entrepreneur, an investor in 40+ startups like Intercom, Udemy, and Unbounce and the creator of SaaS Academy, helping over 500 B2B SaaS founders scale faster.

A 2020 wrap up with takeaways by Danasia Fantastic, creator of The Urban Realist, plus some special news about what’s ahead for Life, I Swear in 2021.

We get so many requests for "a day in the life of" our family. We turned on the microphone and carried it around with us so that you can follow along and hear: What we do and eat on a regular day? What our health rituals are... More about our relationship with food, our bodies, and alcohol. What our mornings, afternoons, and evenings look like? How much we exercise? how does my recovered son spend his time? What self-development tools do my boys use? What our favorite products are. How we make money without stress and without fitting into any boxes FAVORITE THINGS FROM THE PODCAST: TOOTHPASTE & CREAM I use the green skinfood cream from Weleda for feet and almond cream at night for my face and body. Look for Weleda https://www.weleda.com/international almond cream, Weleda skinfood for feet, and EUTHYMOL toothpaste without fluoride online. Another great brand is: https://motherdirt.com/ SOFT FEET AND ALU-FREE DEODORANT Best tip for soft feet? use a nail brush or any other brush on your heels and soles of the feet while you shower. Then use a great cream. I use Weleda Skinfood. I stay away from toxic deodorants with aluminum. My favorite one is a saltwater spray from Holland and Barret. If you are healthy, you don't stink. I hate to be crude, but my friend, Charles Poliquin always used to say: "If your sweat stink, something's fucked up inside you" SKIN, HAIR, AND SERUM How do I keep my nails and bones (and hair) strong? I SWEAR by THIS. A teaspoon of Ditemaceus earth in water for strong nails and hair (and parasite detox) most days. Read more: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/what-is-diatomaceous-earth#benefits Hair serum for thinning hair. I am used to LOADS of thick hair. I still have most of it. But I have noticed a bit of thinning lately. I am using herbal extracts from a danish company that has gone viral and international: https://www.harklinikken.com/ My serum is from Q and A (hyorlonic acid) https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/q-a-hyaluronic-acid-facial-serum-60042129 And my cream is an anti-pollution vitamin C cream from https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/vitaskin-vitamin-c-anti-pollution-glow-day-cream-60040088?skuid=040088 BIG BROWS Just like hair can get thinner, so can brows. As a former bushy girl, I do not content :-) I found this eye serum in Spain. It is worth trying to find one locally. DENTAL CARE. I floss 2 x daily and we can't be friends if you don't floss, just kidding. BUT. If you never floss, try flossing today and smell the floss after. You will NEVER stop flossing after that experience. I also use a steel tongue scraper every morning. They look like this: https://bestreviews.com/best-tongue-cleaners I use salt water to wash my mouth after oil pulling https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/6-benefits-of-oil-pulling (using sesame oil) in the morning and to rinse the toothbrush. You can add magnesium to the saltwater to swirl.

On this Episode, number 135, of the “Just Bein’ Honest Podcast”, MY SOUL SISTER, I SWEAR! Nothing happens coincidentally in my life the more and more I am aware and conscious. Which brings me today's guest. With more than 15 years of experience as an esthetician, ALEXIA WAMBUA saw firsthand the limited access to clean beauty products in the treatment room.  Alexia made it her mission to change that by creating Native Atlas. Inspired by her husband’s occupation as a physical trainer, she created the brand’s first product to help ease his dry, cracked hands. As time went on, her and her husband collaborated to create the Misuli collection that focused on easing sore or tight muscles. Using her knowledge of skincare and all-natural botanicals sourced from all over the world, she has since expanded the line to include essential skincare, active skincare and wellness-focused body care.Founded in 2014, Native Atlas is a line of luxe, all-natural skin and body care products free of harmful ingredients that can be trusted in spa treatments and incorporated into the everyday lives of clients at home. Each collection showcases the transformative power of plant-derived blends ranging from essential skincare, active skincare and wellness-focused body care.Alexia ALSO shares her 5 minute go to routine if your are a quick fix kinda pal like myself!

Welcome to I Swear on My Mother’s Grave. My name is Dana Black and I lost my mom in 2016, at the age of 67. I didn’t want to talk about my mom’s addiction and depression for many years during her lifetime. It was painful to watch, and confusing, and embarrassing, and I didn’t want to talk about it. But now… I do. I want to talk with other people who have also lost their moms—and I don’t just mean in death, because there are so many ways to lose a mother. I started interviewing people on Mother’s Day, during the great pandemic of 2020, because when you’re stuck in your home, what better time to try and process some personal grief, than during a time of such collective grief. So, let’s talk about our moms!

Simpson was born on July 9, 1947, in Putrero Hill, California, in the family of Eunice and Jimmy Lee Simpson. His father was a chef and bank custodian and his mother were a hospital administrator. Soon after his birth he developed rickets and had to wear braces on his legs till he was five. In 1952, his father left the family when he was still very young, and his mother had to take responsibility of raising the four children. He joined the ‘Persian Warriors’, a street gang in his early teens and was confined at the ‘San Francisco Youth Guidance Center’ for a short while. He played football for his team the ‘Galileo Lions’ at the ‘Galileo High School’ (now known as ‘Galileo Academy of Science and Technology’) in San Francisco.   47.    List of the most familiar faces that played pivotal roles in the trial.   48.    Marcia Clark (Prosecution / Ice Queen): An ace trial lawyer for the L.A. District Attorney's office, Clark spent years in the Special Trials Unit, which involved some of the most complex investigations, before becoming the lead prosecutor of the Simpson murder trial. Described as cold and calculating, Clark turned off many black female jurors who viewed her courtroom style as harsh and aggressive. After losing the Simpson case, Clark resigned from the L.A. District Attorney's office.   49.    Christopher Darden (Prosecution / Uncle Tom / Token): Despite being a co-prosecuting attorney with Clark, Darden had limited trial experience. Still, as a black man amid a majority black jury, his participation was important so as to dismiss the notion that the otherwise all-white prosecution had racist motivations against Simpson. Although Darden floundered at the start of the trial and was purportedly intimidated by Cochran, he gained momentum as events progressed. However, he made a consequential mistake when he demanded that Simpson try on the infamous bloody gloves, which ended up being too small for the accused's hands. The loss of the Simpson trial devastated Darden, who was known for his short fuse, and he took a leave of absence.   50.    Robert Shapiro (Defense / Publicity Hound): A lover of the spotlight, lead defense counsel Shapiro knew how to make a deal without going to trial and was a master at manipulating the media in order to garner sympathy for his famous clients. In fact, he was praised as the "Defense Counsel of the Year" in 1994, which even Judge Ito applauded. But when he began representing Simpson, Shapiro found himself jostling to keep his leadership role as other attorneys on his team were chomping at the bit to outshine him. Reportedly, co-defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey leaked stories to the press about Shapiro's ego, one of many indications there was infighting within the group. However, the blow that removed Shapiro from his lead status was when Cochran won Simpson's favor by visiting him in jail — something Shapiro preferred not to do with any of his clients. Once Cochran took over as lead counsel, Shapiro was vocally critical and attempted to distance himself from his team's chosen strategies. He would later tell Barba ra Walters that "not only did we play the race card, we dealt it from the bottom of the deck."   51.    Johnnie Cochran (Defense / Master Manipulator): Having moved up the legal ranks in L.A.'s criminal division, Cochran went on to represent some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Michael Jackson and James Brown. In 1994, he was considered one of the best trial lawyers in the nation, and it was Simpson himself who asked Shapiro to bring Cochran onto the team. Once Cochran gained control of Simpson's defense strategy and pushed Shapiro to the side, he wooed the courtroom and media. Using his "black preacher" style approach, he controversially used the race card to curry sympathy for Simpson. After prosecutor Darden made the mistake of demanding Simpson try on the ill-fitted bloody gloves, Cochran uttered the famous phrase: "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." That moment became a turning point of the trial, giving Simpson's defense a huge advantage.   52.    Lance Ito (Judge / Wanna Be): Before Lance Ito was appointed to the bench in 1989, he was an attorney for the L.A. district and at one point, worked under Cochran. A fan of media attention, Ito was arguably too lax about different aspects of the Simpson trial, giving interviews and inviting celebrities and journalists into his chambers. Judge Ito was further criticized on his decision to allow cameras in the courtroom and letting attorneys stall and have too many sidebars. His willingness to include Detective Mark Fuhrman's old taped interviews, in which he denigrated black people, was also a huge source of contention for the prosecution. In a strange twist, the tapes also revealed Fuhrman had made disparaging remarks about Ito's wife, Margaret York, who was Fuhrman's department superior at the time. When those comments were exposed, the prosecution asked for Ito to recuse himself due to his possible bias against Fuhrman, but later the request was withdrawn.   53.    Mark Fuhrman (Detective & Witness / Racists): Among the most controversial figures of the Simpson trial was L.A. homicide detective Mark Fuhrman. Responsible for discovering the "bloody glove" at the murder scene, Fuhrman did what the LAPD refused to do to Simpson — he threw the former NFL star in jail. Although Fuhrman denied ever having racist tendencies or using the n-word, a taped interview he had chosen to do 10 years earlier revealed otherwise. In the recording, he was quoted as saying to incarcerated black people: "You do what you're told, understand, n—r?" A wave of backlash hit Fuhrman, but he continued denying being a racist and also pushed back against the defense's theory that he planted the bloody glove to frame Simpson.   54.    Dennis Fung (Criminologist & Witness / Dunce): As the prosecution's witness, Dennis Fung — the LAPD criminologist who collected evidence at the murder scene — ended up spending the longest time testifying on the stand. For nine days, Fung recalled how he collected samples of blood, albeit admittedly overlooking some important areas where blood drops were identified and not always using gloves. The defense ate up Fung's inefficient and careless actions and implicated him as a liar who was part of a larger LAPD conspiracy against Simpson.   55.    Kato Kaelin (Witness / ???, Comedy Relief): Aspiring actor and houseguest of Simpson, Brian "Kato" Kaelin was a star witness for the prosecution. Present at Simpson's Rockingham mansion at the time of the murders, Kaelin claimed that he ate dinner with Simpson that night but could not account for the star athlete's whereabouts between the hours of 9:36 p.m. and 11 p.m. (the prosecution theorized that Simpson murdered his ex-wife and Goldman between 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.). Due to Kaelin's shiftiness on the stand, prosecutor Clark turned against him and treated him as a hostile witness. Regardless, Kaelin — with his thick tufts of blond hair and surfer dude ways — gained considerable popularity in the media as a likable and comedic character of the trial.   56.    Allan Park (Witness / Voice of Reason): As the limousine driver who was hired to drive Simpson to the airport for his evening flight to Chicago, Allan Park was a vital witness to the prosecution. Competent and composed, Park helped bolster the idea that Simpson may not have been at the Rockingham mansion when the double homicide occurred. Still, the jury did not give much weight to his testimony, asking for his transcript only hours before deliberation. Reportedly, one juror wholly dismissed Park's testimony because he was unable to recall the number of cars parked at the Rockingham mansion. Upon hearing this, Park was shocked his testimony was so casually disregarded.   57.    Open Floor:   58.    Question: What did you want to happen?   59.    Music Scene: Black songs from the Top 40   60.    #3 "I'll Make Love to You", Boyz II Men   61.    #5 "Hero", Mariah Carey   62.    #7 "Breathe Again", Toni Braxton   63.    #11 "Bump n' Grind", R.

Kelly is an American singer-songwriter, often referred to as the King of R&B.   105.    Robert Sylvester Kelly, better known as R. Kelly to his fans, is an American singer. He is one of the best-selling music artists in the United States and the most successful R&B male artist of the 1990s. A multi-faceted personality, Kelly is a singer-songwriter, record producer, actor, and former semi-professional basketball player.   106.    R. Kelly was born on January 8, 1967, in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He and his three siblings were raised by their mother Joanne in the Baptist church, where she served as the lead singer of the choir.   107.    The family lived in poverty and struggled to make ends meet. Kelly started singing as part of the church choir when he was eight.   108.    He had a very difficult childhood as he was often sexually abused by a woman. In his 2012 autobiography ‘Soulacoaster,’ he had penned down his experience and the reason why he never told about his ordeal to anyone. When he was 11, he was shot in the shoulder while riding his bike home.   109.    He had an untreated learning disability, which made it difficult for him to read and write. Eventually, he had to drop out of high school.   110.    He studied at the ‘Kenwood Academy’ in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. He was an athletic young boy and played basketball for his high school team. However, his music teacher Lena McLin, who had recognized his musical talent, advised him to leave the sport and focus on music.   111.    He was very close to his mother, who took him to church and clubs where she performed. She died of cancer in 1993.   112.    Kelly gained recognition in 1989 when he, along with Marc McWilliams, Shawn Brooks, and Vincent Walker, participated in the TV show ‘Big Break,’ where he went on to win the $100,000 grand prize.   113.    As a youngster, he formed the group ‘MGM’ (Musically Gifted Men) along with his friends Marc McWilliams, Vincent Walker, and Shawn Brooks. In 1990, ‘MGM’ recorded and released their first single, ‘Why You Wanna Play Me’ and disbanded shortly after.   114.    In 1992, Kelly released his debut album ‘Born into the 90’s’ along with a musical group named ‘Public Announcement.’ The album produced several hit songs and was eventually certified platinum   115.    Kelly's first solo album, ‘12 Play,’ was released in November 1993.   116.    R. Kelly, 27, achieves mainstream success when his single “Bump n’ Grind”, released in January of 1994, hits number one on the Billboard 100. A month later, his protégé Aliyah releases her debut album, Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number, which was almost entirely written and produced by him.   117.    His self-titled album ‘R. Kelly’ was out in 1995. Featuring introspective lyrics and foot-tapping music, this album became a huge hit and spawned three number one singles – ‘You Remind Me of Something,’ ‘Down Low (Nobody Has to Know),’ and ‘I Can't Sleep (Baby If I).   118.    Aaliyah Biography: Aaliyah Dana Haughton was born on January 16, 1979, in Brooklyn, New York, to Diane and Michael Haughton. She had one brother whom she was very close to. She was very family oriented and had close relations with her parents and grandmother. She was of African American descent.   119.    Her mother was a vocalist and young Aaliyah began singing when she was a child, performing at weddings, charity events, and for church choir. Her uncle Barry Hankerson was married to recording artist Gladys Knight who played a major role in introducing Aaliyah to the show business.   120.    She attended a Catholic school named ‘Gesu Elementary,’ where she was cast to play a role in a stage play titled ‘Annie.’   121.    With support from Gladys, Aaliyah auditioned for commercials and television programs, and also for several record labels. She started appearing in concerts alongside Gladys when she was 11.   122.    Aaliyah signed with ‘Jive Records’ and her Uncle Barry Hankerson's ‘Blackground Records’ when she was just 12. Her debut album ‘Age Ain't Nothing but a Number,’ which was recorded when the singer was just 14, was released in 1994.   123.    In its very first week, the album sold almost 74, 000 copies. Soon, it reached from 24th to the 18th position in ‘Billboard 200,’ eventually selling over three million copies in the United States, where it was certified double platinum by the ‘RIAA.’   124.    The tremendous success of the album catapulted Aaliyah to international stardom. During this time, rumors of her illegal marriage with her mentor and recording artist and producer R. Kelly began circulating.   125.    In order to silence the rumors, Aaliyah left ‘Jive Records’ and signed a contract with ‘Atlantic Records,’ under which she released her second album ‘One in a Million’ in 1996. This album was also a major success. It peaked at No. 18 on the ‘Billboard 200,’ and sold over 3.7 million copies in the United States and over eight million copies worldwide. It was certified double platinum by the ‘RIAA.’   126.    Aaliyah, along with her crew, flew to the Bahamas on August 25, 2001, to shoot the music video of the song, ‘Rock the Boat.’ Completing the shoot early, the crew decided to return to Florida instead of waiting for the next day as per schedule. For their return, they boarded a small private airplane.   127.    The plane was smaller than the one the crew had arrived in. However, the whole party and the equipment were accommodated on board, overloading the plane with a surplus of 320 kg and one excess passenger. The plane crashed soon after taking off, killing everyone on board.   128.    Open Comments:   129.    Controversies   130.    Illegal marriage: According to Vibe and the Chicago Sun-Times, 27-year-old Kelly and 15-year-old protégée Aaliyah were illegally married in a secret ceremony on August 31, 1994, in Cook County.[126][127] Upon meeting Kelly and prior to the nuptials, Aaliyah admitted she had falsely stated she was 18. In a 2008 interview, Kelly's tour manager, Demetrius Smith, said that he facilitated the wedding by obtaining falsified identification for Aaliyah which listed her as 18 years of age.   131.    He married Andrea, his former backup dancer, in 1996. The couple has three children. They divorced in 2009 after almost 13 years of marriage.   132.    1998, Kelly paid Tiffany Hawkins $250,000 after she claimed Kelly had induced her to have group sex with other teenage girls when she was 15 years old.   133.    2001: Sued by intern: Tracy Sampson sues R. Kelly, accusing him of inducing her "into an indecent sexual relationship" when she was 17 years old. The woman, a former intern at Epic Records, claimed she was "treated as his personal sex object and cast aside".  "He often tried to control every aspect of my life including who I would see and where I would go," she said in her legal case against him. The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, said the New York Post.   134.    2002: Two more court cases - Kelly is sued for a third time by Patrice Jones, a Chicago woman who claims he impregnated her when she was underage, and that she was forced to have an abortion. A woman named Montina Woods  also sued Kelly, alleging that he videotaped them having sex without her knowledge. The recording was allegedly circulated on an R Kelly "sex tape" sold by bootleggers under the title R. Kelly Triple-X. The star settled both cases out of court, paying an undisclosed sum in return for a non-disclosure agreement.   135.    2017, Kelly was accused of forcing girls to stay in an ‘abusive cult.’   136.    2018, the ‘Women of Color’ branch of the ‘Time's Up’ movement called for a boycott of Kelly's music and performances over the many allegations against him. The boycott was accompanied by a social media campaign called ‘Mute R. Kelly.’   137.    2019, Kelly was taken back to the ‘Cook County Jail’ after failing to pay $161,633 in child support. On March 9, 2019, he was released after someone, who didn't want to be identified, paid off the child support.   138.    2019, Lifetime began airing a six-part documentary series, “Surviving R. Kelly”, detailing sexual abuse and misconduct allegations against Kelly.   139.    Question: Why do we treat R Kelly different than Michael?   140.    Movie Scene: Sam Jack Mutha F@#A   141.    Samuel Leroy Jackson was born on December 21, 1948, in Washington, D.C. He grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee and was raised by his mother Elizabeth Jackson as his father lived away from the family and later passed away from alcoholism. He met his father only twice during his life.   142.    He studied at a number of segregated schools and graduated from ‘Riverside High School’ in Chattanooga. During his time at school, he played the French horn and the trumpet in the school orchestra. He suffered from stuttering when he was a child.   143.    He initially dreamt of pursuing a degree in marine biology at ‘Morehouse College’ in Atlanta, but soon switched degrees after he discovered the actor in him. He graduated from the institute in 1972 and at the same time, co-founded the theatre group, ‘Just Us Theatre.’   144.    After appearing in several plays, including ‘The Opera’ and ‘A Soldier’s Play,’ he made his motion picture debut in the blaxploitation film ‘Together for Days’ in 1972. Four years later, he appeared in the television series ‘i’ On.’   145.    He moved to New York City and spent the next several years appearing in stage plays, such as ‘The Piano Lesson’ and ‘Two Trains Running.’ In 1977, he appeared in the film ‘The Displaced Person.’   146.    It is believed that in his early years he was mentored by Morgan Freeman. Later on, in his career, he started doing noticeable roles in films like ‘School Daze’ and ‘Do the Right Thing,’ which released in 1988 and 1989, respectively.   147.    In 1990, he appeared in ‘Goodfellas’ in a minor role and then worked as a substitute on ‘The Cosby Show’ for the next three years.   148.    From 1990 to 1993, he worked in films like ‘Def by Temptation,’ ‘The Return of Superfly,’ ‘Strictly Business,’ ‘Jungle Fever,’ ‘Patriot Games,’ ‘True Romance,’ ‘Amos & Andrew,’ ‘Jurassic Park,’ and ‘Loaded Weapon 1.’   149.    In 1994, he played the critically acclaimed role of Jules Winnfield in the hit film ‘Pulp Fiction.’ Jackson became a world icon after the release and subsequent success of the movie. It was later revealed that director Quentin Tarantino specifically wanted him for the role.   150.    Open Comments:   151.    Question: Is Sam better than Denzel?   152.    TV Scene: The Death of Black TV   153.    Cancelled in 1994: Jan - The Les Brown Show, Feb – Thea, The Sinbad Show, May – Roc, In Living Color, and The Arsenio Hall Show   154.    Article #1: A TELEVISION TREND: AUDIENCES IN BLACK AND WHITE by Paul Farhi November 29, 1994   155.    All across the country tonight, millions of households will tune to ABC's "Home Improvement." In a typical week, the situation comedy about the host of a household fix-it show is the most-watched program on the air. Yet one group of viewers is decidedly sparse among the masses of "Home Improvement" fans. In African American households, the program barely makes the top 30. Other big network hits are even less popular: "Seinfeld" and "Frasier" don't even crack the top 90 …The top show for black audiences this season: "Living Single," a Fox sitcom that ranks 69th among all audiences.”   156.    Article #2: Let’s rewind a bit. In the mid-'80s, when there wasn't a whole lot of programming aimed specifically at black folks, black and white viewers watched mostly the same shows — 15 of the top 20 most-watched shows for black audiences in the 1985-96 season were also in white viewers' top 20. But by the next decade, everything had changed. While the then-Big Three had a handful of shows with black casts in the mid-1990s like Family Matters and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, it was the upstart networks like Fox and later UPN and the WB (Both launched in Jan 1995)  that seriously doubled down on black viewers in a bid to become commercially viable as quickly as possible. The result was a kind of alternate TV universe where you could find black folks on-screen seemingly every night of the week — In Living Color; Roc; Sister, Sister; Moesha; In The House; The Jamie Foxx Show; Malcolm & Eddie. (Alas, Latinos and Asian-American folks were then, as now, mostly absent from lead roles on network TV, even on th e smaller "netlets.")   157.    Lots of these shows had big, devoted black followings. While huge swaths of America yearned for Ross and Rachel to get together, my high school classmates and I geeked over the fact that an episode of Fox's New York Undercover played "Flava In Ya Ear" over the cold open… Fox's 1994-95 Thursday night lineup — Martin at 8 p.m., Living Single at 8:30 and New York Undercover at 9 — were the three highest-rated shows among black TV viewers that season. But among white viewers, none of those three shows even cracked the top 100. By the end of the 1990s, Fox switched its focus from black audiences to go after young male viewers, a demographic that they felt was more desirable to advertisers.”   158.    By 2008, the viewing habits of black viewers and white viewers were converging once more. With few "black shows" on broadcast TV, everyone was watching American Idol, Dancing With the Stars or CSI. Black folks who wanted to watch black folks on TV had to go to cable, and so they did. - https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2015/04/01/395777889/this-isnt-the-first-time-network-tv-discovered-black-people   159.    Question: Do we need “Black” TV?   160.    Vote: Best/most important/favorite pop culture item from 1994?

Simpson was born on July 9, 1947, in Putrero Hill, California, in the family of Eunice and Jimmy Lee Simpson. His father was a chef and bank custodian and his mother were a hospital administrator. Soon after his birth he developed rickets and had to wear braces on his legs till he was five. In 1952, his father left the family when he was still very young, and his mother had to take responsibility of raising the four children. He joined the ‘Persian Warriors’, a street gang in his early teens and was confined at the ‘San Francisco Youth Guidance Center’ for a short while. He played football for his team the ‘Galileo Lions’ at the ‘Galileo High School’ (now known as ‘Galileo Academy of Science and Technology’) in San Francisco.   47.    List of the most familiar faces that played pivotal roles in the trial.   48.    Marcia Clark (Prosecution / Ice Queen): An ace trial lawyer for the L.A. District Attorney's office, Clark spent years in the Special Trials Unit, which involved some of the most complex investigations, before becoming the lead prosecutor of the Simpson murder trial. Described as cold and calculating, Clark turned off many black female jurors who viewed her courtroom style as harsh and aggressive. After losing the Simpson case, Clark resigned from the L.A. District Attorney's office.   49.    Christopher Darden (Prosecution / Uncle Tom / Token): Despite being a co-prosecuting attorney with Clark, Darden had limited trial experience. Still, as a black man amid a majority black jury, his participation was important so as to dismiss the notion that the otherwise all-white prosecution had racist motivations against Simpson. Although Darden floundered at the start of the trial and was purportedly intimidated by Cochran, he gained momentum as events progressed. However, he made a consequential mistake when he demanded that Simpson try on the infamous bloody gloves, which ended up being too small for the accused's hands. The loss of the Simpson trial devastated Darden, who was known for his short fuse, and he took a leave of absence.   50.    Robert Shapiro (Defense / Publicity Hound): A lover of the spotlight, lead defense counsel Shapiro knew how to make a deal without going to trial and was a master at manipulating the media in order to garner sympathy for his famous clients. In fact, he was praised as the "Defense Counsel of the Year" in 1994, which even Judge Ito applauded. But when he began representing Simpson, Shapiro found himself jostling to keep his leadership role as other attorneys on his team were chomping at the bit to outshine him. Reportedly, co-defense lawyer F. Lee Bailey leaked stories to the press about Shapiro's ego, one of many indications there was infighting within the group. However, the blow that removed Shapiro from his lead status was when Cochran won Simpson's favor by visiting him in jail — something Shapiro preferred not to do with any of his clients. Once Cochran took over as lead counsel, Shapiro was vocally critical and attempted to distance himself from his team's chosen strategies. He would later tell Barba ra Walters that "not only did we play the race card, we dealt it from the bottom of the deck."   51.    Johnnie Cochran (Defense / Master Manipulator): Having moved up the legal ranks in L.A.'s criminal division, Cochran went on to represent some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Michael Jackson and James Brown. In 1994, he was considered one of the best trial lawyers in the nation, and it was Simpson himself who asked Shapiro to bring Cochran onto the team. Once Cochran gained control of Simpson's defense strategy and pushed Shapiro to the side, he wooed the courtroom and media. Using his "black preacher" style approach, he controversially used the race card to curry sympathy for Simpson. After prosecutor Darden made the mistake of demanding Simpson try on the ill-fitted bloody gloves, Cochran uttered the famous phrase: "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit." That moment became a turning point of the trial, giving Simpson's defense a huge advantage.   52.    Lance Ito (Judge / Wanna Be): Before Lance Ito was appointed to the bench in 1989, he was an attorney for the L.A. district and at one point, worked under Cochran. A fan of media attention, Ito was arguably too lax about different aspects of the Simpson trial, giving interviews and inviting celebrities and journalists into his chambers. Judge Ito was further criticized on his decision to allow cameras in the courtroom and letting attorneys stall and have too many sidebars. His willingness to include Detective Mark Fuhrman's old taped interviews, in which he denigrated black people, was also a huge source of contention for the prosecution. In a strange twist, the tapes also revealed Fuhrman had made disparaging remarks about Ito's wife, Margaret York, who was Fuhrman's department superior at the time. When those comments were exposed, the prosecution asked for Ito to recuse himself due to his possible bias against Fuhrman, but later the request was withdrawn.   53.    Mark Fuhrman (Detective & Witness / Racists): Among the most controversial figures of the Simpson trial was L.A. homicide detective Mark Fuhrman. Responsible for discovering the "bloody glove" at the murder scene, Fuhrman did what the LAPD refused to do to Simpson — he threw the former NFL star in jail. Although Fuhrman denied ever having racist tendencies or using the n-word, a taped interview he had chosen to do 10 years earlier revealed otherwise. In the recording, he was quoted as saying to incarcerated black people: "You do what you're told, understand, n—r?" A wave of backlash hit Fuhrman, but he continued denying being a racist and also pushed back against the defense's theory that he planted the bloody glove to frame Simpson.   54.    Dennis Fung (Criminologist & Witness / Dunce): As the prosecution's witness, Dennis Fung — the LAPD criminologist who collected evidence at the murder scene — ended up spending the longest time testifying on the stand. For nine days, Fung recalled how he collected samples of blood, albeit admittedly overlooking some important areas where blood drops were identified and not always using gloves. The defense ate up Fung's inefficient and careless actions and implicated him as a liar who was part of a larger LAPD conspiracy against Simpson.   55.    Kato Kaelin (Witness / ???, Comedy Relief): Aspiring actor and houseguest of Simpson, Brian "Kato" Kaelin was a star witness for the prosecution. Present at Simpson's Rockingham mansion at the time of the murders, Kaelin claimed that he ate dinner with Simpson that night but could not account for the star athlete's whereabouts between the hours of 9:36 p.m. and 11 p.m. (the prosecution theorized that Simpson murdered his ex-wife and Goldman between 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.). Due to Kaelin's shiftiness on the stand, prosecutor Clark turned against him and treated him as a hostile witness. Regardless, Kaelin — with his thick tufts of blond hair and surfer dude ways — gained considerable popularity in the media as a likable and comedic character of the trial.   56.    Allan Park (Witness / Voice of Reason): As the limousine driver who was hired to drive Simpson to the airport for his evening flight to Chicago, Allan Park was a vital witness to the prosecution. Competent and composed, Park helped bolster the idea that Simpson may not have been at the Rockingham mansion when the double homicide occurred. Still, the jury did not give much weight to his testimony, asking for his transcript only hours before deliberation. Reportedly, one juror wholly dismissed Park's testimony because he was unable to recall the number of cars parked at the Rockingham mansion. Upon hearing this, Park was shocked his testimony was so casually disregarded.   57.    Open Floor:   58.    Question: What did you want to happen?   59.    Music Scene: Black songs from the Top 40   60.    #3 "I'll Make Love to You", Boyz II Men   61.    #5 "Hero", Mariah Carey   62.    #7 "Breathe Again", Toni Braxton   63.    #11 "Bump n' Grind", R.

Kelly is an American singer-songwriter, often referred to as the King of R&B.   105.    Robert Sylvester Kelly, better known as R. Kelly to his fans, is an American singer. He is one of the best-selling music artists in the United States and the most successful R&B male artist of the 1990s. A multi-faceted personality, Kelly is a singer-songwriter, record producer, actor, and former semi-professional basketball player.   106.    R. Kelly was born on January 8, 1967, in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He and his three siblings were raised by their mother Joanne in the Baptist church, where she served as the lead singer of the choir.   107.    The family lived in poverty and struggled to make ends meet. Kelly started singing as part of the church choir when he was eight.   108.    He had a very difficult childhood as he was often sexually abused by a woman. In his 2012 autobiography ‘Soulacoaster,’ he had penned down his experience and the reason why he never told about his ordeal to anyone. When he was 11, he was shot in the shoulder while riding his bike home.   109.    He had an untreated learning disability, which made it difficult for him to read and write. Eventually, he had to drop out of high school.   110.    He studied at the ‘Kenwood Academy’ in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. He was an athletic young boy and played basketball for his high school team. However, his music teacher Lena McLin, who had recognized his musical talent, advised him to leave the sport and focus on music.   111.    He was very close to his mother, who took him to church and clubs where she performed. She died of cancer in 1993.   112.    Kelly gained recognition in 1989 when he, along with Marc McWilliams, Shawn Brooks, and Vincent Walker, participated in the TV show ‘Big Break,’ where he went on to win the $100,000 grand prize.   113.    As a youngster, he formed the group ‘MGM’ (Musically Gifted Men) along with his friends Marc McWilliams, Vincent Walker, and Shawn Brooks. In 1990, ‘MGM’ recorded and released their first single, ‘Why You Wanna Play Me’ and disbanded shortly after.   114.    In 1992, Kelly released his debut album ‘Born into the 90’s’ along with a musical group named ‘Public Announcement.’ The album produced several hit songs and was eventually certified platinum   115.    Kelly's first solo album, ‘12 Play,’ was released in November 1993.   116.    R. Kelly, 27, achieves mainstream success when his single “Bump n’ Grind”, released in January of 1994, hits number one on the Billboard 100. A month later, his protégé Aliyah releases her debut album, Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number, which was almost entirely written and produced by him.   117.    His self-titled album ‘R. Kelly’ was out in 1995. Featuring introspective lyrics and foot-tapping music, this album became a huge hit and spawned three number one singles – ‘You Remind Me of Something,’ ‘Down Low (Nobody Has to Know),’ and ‘I Can't Sleep (Baby If I).   118.    Aaliyah Biography: Aaliyah Dana Haughton was born on January 16, 1979, in Brooklyn, New York, to Diane and Michael Haughton. She had one brother whom she was very close to. She was very family oriented and had close relations with her parents and grandmother. She was of African American descent.   119.    Her mother was a vocalist and young Aaliyah began singing when she was a child, performing at weddings, charity events, and for church choir. Her uncle Barry Hankerson was married to recording artist Gladys Knight who played a major role in introducing Aaliyah to the show business.   120.    She attended a Catholic school named ‘Gesu Elementary,’ where she was cast to play a role in a stage play titled ‘Annie.’   121.    With support from Gladys, Aaliyah auditioned for commercials and television programs, and also for several record labels. She started appearing in concerts alongside Gladys when she was 11.   122.    Aaliyah signed with ‘Jive Records’ and her Uncle Barry Hankerson's ‘Blackground Records’ when she was just 12. Her debut album ‘Age Ain't Nothing but a Number,’ which was recorded when the singer was just 14, was released in 1994.   123.    In its very first week, the album sold almost 74, 000 copies. Soon, it reached from 24th to the 18th position in ‘Billboard 200,’ eventually selling over three million copies in the United States, where it was certified double platinum by the ‘RIAA.’   124.    The tremendous success of the album catapulted Aaliyah to international stardom. During this time, rumors of her illegal marriage with her mentor and recording artist and producer R. Kelly began circulating.   125.    In order to silence the rumors, Aaliyah left ‘Jive Records’ and signed a contract with ‘Atlantic Records,’ under which she released her second album ‘One in a Million’ in 1996. This album was also a major success. It peaked at No. 18 on the ‘Billboard 200,’ and sold over 3.7 million copies in the United States and over eight million copies worldwide. It was certified double platinum by the ‘RIAA.’   126.    Aaliyah, along with her crew, flew to the Bahamas on August 25, 2001, to shoot the music video of the song, ‘Rock the Boat.’ Completing the shoot early, the crew decided to return to Florida instead of waiting for the next day as per schedule. For their return, they boarded a small private airplane.   127.    The plane was smaller than the one the crew had arrived in. However, the whole party and the equipment were accommodated on board, overloading the plane with a surplus of 320 kg and one excess passenger. The plane crashed soon after taking off, killing everyone on board.   128.    Open Comments:   129.    Controversies   130.    Illegal marriage: According to Vibe and the Chicago Sun-Times, 27-year-old Kelly and 15-year-old protégée Aaliyah were illegally married in a secret ceremony on August 31, 1994, in Cook County.[126][127] Upon meeting Kelly and prior to the nuptials, Aaliyah admitted she had falsely stated she was 18. In a 2008 interview, Kelly's tour manager, Demetrius Smith, said that he facilitated the wedding by obtaining falsified identification for Aaliyah which listed her as 18 years of age.   131.    He married Andrea, his former backup dancer, in 1996. The couple has three children. They divorced in 2009 after almost 13 years of marriage.   132.    1998, Kelly paid Tiffany Hawkins $250,000 after she claimed Kelly had induced her to have group sex with other teenage girls when she was 15 years old.   133.    2001: Sued by intern: Tracy Sampson sues R. Kelly, accusing him of inducing her "into an indecent sexual relationship" when she was 17 years old. The woman, a former intern at Epic Records, claimed she was "treated as his personal sex object and cast aside".  "He often tried to control every aspect of my life including who I would see and where I would go," she said in her legal case against him. The case was settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, said the New York Post.   134.    2002: Two more court cases - Kelly is sued for a third time by Patrice Jones, a Chicago woman who claims he impregnated her when she was underage, and that she was forced to have an abortion. A woman named Montina Woods  also sued Kelly, alleging that he videotaped them having sex without her knowledge. The recording was allegedly circulated on an R Kelly "sex tape" sold by bootleggers under the title R. Kelly Triple-X. The star settled both cases out of court, paying an undisclosed sum in return for a non-disclosure agreement.   135.    2017, Kelly was accused of forcing girls to stay in an ‘abusive cult.’   136.    2018, the ‘Women of Color’ branch of the ‘Time's Up’ movement called for a boycott of Kelly's music and performances over the many allegations against him. The boycott was accompanied by a social media campaign called ‘Mute R. Kelly.’   137.    2019, Kelly was taken back to the ‘Cook County Jail’ after failing to pay $161,633 in child support. On March 9, 2019, he was released after someone, who didn't want to be identified, paid off the child support.   138.    2019, Lifetime began airing a six-part documentary series, “Surviving R. Kelly”, detailing sexual abuse and misconduct allegations against Kelly.   139.    Question: Why do we treat R Kelly different than Michael?   140.    Movie Scene: Sam Jack Mutha F@#A   141.    Samuel Leroy Jackson was born on December 21, 1948, in Washington, D.C. He grew up in Chattanooga, Tennessee and was raised by his mother Elizabeth Jackson as his father lived away from the family and later passed away from alcoholism. He met his father only twice during his life.   142.    He studied at a number of segregated schools and graduated from ‘Riverside High School’ in Chattanooga. During his time at school, he played the French horn and the trumpet in the school orchestra. He suffered from stuttering when he was a child.   143.    He initially dreamt of pursuing a degree in marine biology at ‘Morehouse College’ in Atlanta, but soon switched degrees after he discovered the actor in him. He graduated from the institute in 1972 and at the same time, co-founded the theatre group, ‘Just Us Theatre.’   144.    After appearing in several plays, including ‘The Opera’ and ‘A Soldier’s Play,’ he made his motion picture debut in the blaxploitation film ‘Together for Days’ in 1972. Four years later, he appeared in the television series ‘i’ On.’   145.    He moved to New York City and spent the next several years appearing in stage plays, such as ‘The Piano Lesson’ and ‘Two Trains Running.’ In 1977, he appeared in the film ‘The Displaced Person.’   146.    It is believed that in his early years he was mentored by Morgan Freeman. Later on, in his career, he started doing noticeable roles in films like ‘School Daze’ and ‘Do the Right Thing,’ which released in 1988 and 1989, respectively.   147.    In 1990, he appeared in ‘Goodfellas’ in a minor role and then worked as a substitute on ‘The Cosby Show’ for the next three years.   148.    From 1990 to 1993, he worked in films like ‘Def by Temptation,’ ‘The Return of Superfly,’ ‘Strictly Business,’ ‘Jungle Fever,’ ‘Patriot Games,’ ‘True Romance,’ ‘Amos & Andrew,’ ‘Jurassic Park,’ and ‘Loaded Weapon 1.’   149.    In 1994, he played the critically acclaimed role of Jules Winnfield in the hit film ‘Pulp Fiction.’ Jackson became a world icon after the release and subsequent success of the movie. It was later revealed that director Quentin Tarantino specifically wanted him for the role.   150.    Open Comments:   151.    Question: Is Sam better than Denzel?   152.    TV Scene: The Death of Black TV   153.    Cancelled in 1994: Jan - The Les Brown Show, Feb – Thea, The Sinbad Show, May – Roc, In Living Color, and The Arsenio Hall Show   154.    Article #1: A TELEVISION TREND: AUDIENCES IN BLACK AND WHITE by Paul Farhi November 29, 1994   155.    All across the country tonight, millions of households will tune to ABC's "Home Improvement." In a typical week, the situation comedy about the host of a household fix-it show is the most-watched program on the air. Yet one group of viewers is decidedly sparse among the masses of "Home Improvement" fans. In African American households, the program barely makes the top 30. Other big network hits are even less popular: "Seinfeld" and "Frasier" don't even crack the top 90 …The top show for black audiences this season: "Living Single," a Fox sitcom that ranks 69th among all audiences.”   156.    Article #2: Let’s rewind a bit. In the mid-'80s, when there wasn't a whole lot of programming aimed specifically at black folks, black and white viewers watched mostly the same shows — 15 of the top 20 most-watched shows for black audiences in the 1985-96 season were also in white viewers' top 20. But by the next decade, everything had changed. While the then-Big Three had a handful of shows with black casts in the mid-1990s like Family Matters and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, it was the upstart networks like Fox and later UPN and the WB (Both launched in Jan 1995)  that seriously doubled down on black viewers in a bid to become commercially viable as quickly as possible. The result was a kind of alternate TV universe where you could find black folks on-screen seemingly every night of the week — In Living Color; Roc; Sister, Sister; Moesha; In The House; The Jamie Foxx Show; Malcolm & Eddie. (Alas, Latinos and Asian-American folks were then, as now, mostly absent from lead roles on network TV, even on th e smaller "netlets.")   157.    Lots of these shows had big, devoted black followings. While huge swaths of America yearned for Ross and Rachel to get together, my high school classmates and I geeked over the fact that an episode of Fox's New York Undercover played "Flava In Ya Ear" over the cold open… Fox's 1994-95 Thursday night lineup — Martin at 8 p.m., Living Single at 8:30 and New York Undercover at 9 — were the three highest-rated shows among black TV viewers that season. But among white viewers, none of those three shows even cracked the top 100. By the end of the 1990s, Fox switched its focus from black audiences to go after young male viewers, a demographic that they felt was more desirable to advertisers.”   158.    By 2008, the viewing habits of black viewers and white viewers were converging once more. With few "black shows" on broadcast TV, everyone was watching American Idol, Dancing With the Stars or CSI. Black folks who wanted to watch black folks on TV had to go to cable, and so they did. - https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2015/04/01/395777889/this-isnt-the-first-time-network-tv-discovered-black-people   159.    Question: Do we need “Black” TV?   160.    Vote: Best/most important/favorite pop culture item from 1994?

As one of the biggest country singers of the 90s, John Michael Montgomery's sophomore album Kickin' It Up just might be his best. Or is it? We debate that and many other things this episode including which artist today would be best suited to cover one of his songs? Names like Michael Ray and Jon Pardi were suggested including another 90s country artist. The album featured his biggest hit to date with "I Swear." Top hits "Be My Baby Tonight" and "If You've Got Love" reached the #1 spot on the charts while another Montgomery staple "Rope the Moon" went all the way to #4.

Today – I’m going to share with you my secret strategy for building your PERFECT client Avatar… this is the same system I’ve shared with dozens of my students to help them ramp up their business and start making 3x, 5x, even 10x as much as they used to make… check it out! (INTRO) All right- man, I’m super excited about this episode. First of all, this is NOT your basic “How to Create a Customer Avatar” lesson. I want to dive deeper here because I know you know how to use Google. There’s been a LOT of talk about Avatars for a while now... and I’ll be honest… I’ve built out SEVERAL over the past few years. I didn’t do it back when I was coaching real estate investors… but I did when I started coaching small business owners… and now again that my focus is on coaching coaches, I’ve changed things… radically.   For me, the process of creating an Avatar has progressed and improved along with my business… and in this podcast, I want to take you through my process. It’s a little different than what other people might go through, although the principle is basically the same.   So… let’s start with “What is the client Avatar?” Right? Despite what the YouTube thumbnail suggests, it has nothing to do with James Cameron’s movie (Dances With Smurfs as I like to refer to it). (chuckles)   It’s basically creating an ideal client and putting a face and a name and a bunch of personality traits behind it… and then, typically, it becomes another of a hundred pdfs that you have floating around along with all those “free eBooks” with those amazing email templates that you got when you opted in to that one dude’s funnel… I’m not interested in something that doesn’t do me any good… and honestly, I don’t want to waste my time on something that’s good in theory and not practical. I want to walk you through the process… it’s streamlined, it’s through, and it’s super effective. And I’m going to share a HUGE secret for me that I’ve used that I SWEAR by… and I haven’t heard ANYONE else talking about this. I so excited about this… because this is a breakthrough that, once I started doing this, I started seeing my results go THROUGH THE FREAKING ROOF!  You excited about this? It’s awesome! I’ll share that in just a minute. So let’s start with the basics: The whole point is to build up an ideal client Who do you WANT to work with? What are they like? You want an affinity with them… so think about things that you would enjoy about that person… They pay on time, they’re respectful, you enjoy each other’s company, you’re both trying to make the world a better place… Whether you know it or not, you’re creating a culture within your company every time you bring on a new client. I don’t care if it’s just you working by yourself… every client you have will contribute to your business. Period. In some way or another, each and every client you onboard will become part of your company’s DNA. You need to be AWARE of this. Not only during the time you work together but even after they’re gone. You’ve heard the expression “You can never step into the same river twice.” One you onboard a client, their story is going to impact you in one way or another. And yes- if you bring someone on and things aren’t as smooth as you would like… let’s say they’re consistently complaining about either the coaching, or the process, or even just complaining about their week… that energy will have an effect on you. And depending on how long you’re working with them, it’s going to gradually wear you down. I’m not saying you’ll quit and go back to corporate or whatever… but it will weigh on you. So the next time you have a strategy session, you will be more aware and hopefully will look for signs of the client’s personality before you bring them in. So to help with this, your client Avatar should be CRYSTAL CLEAR. It doesn’t mean you’re going to only have clients that are basically cloned to your Avatar- it means you’re going to be working to attract those kinds of people.  What frustrated me before about this process is that it always felt… it felt fluffy. Like… it was some kind of a feel-good thing that made me think I was doing something for my business. It kept me busy, and made my brain think “Yeah, William… okay, you’re working on your business! You’re building out this client Avatar, and it’s super important!” But there’s some logic behind it, and I think it might help to go into some of the real reasons WHY you should do this.  In one of my future success stories podcasts, I was talking with the coach after our interview. I do this with every guest who is gracious to come on my show – especially if they’re newer in the business. I basically offer a coaching session right there as a sort of “Thank you” for giving me their time. And so we’re talking, and she tells me she really struggles with the idea of “selling” her services. She’s had several clients (we even talked about some of them on the podcast) but afterwards, she confessed that only one of them was actually paying her… and she wasn’t even charging them a “full price”- it was a discounted rate because it’s all she felt comfortable asking for. She was coaching everyone else for free. And it would have surprised me if this weren’t a story I heard so often from so many coaches- even if they’ve been coaching for a year or more. We dug a little deeper into it, and she was put off by the idea of “selling” her coaching… and like so many, she would get to the part in a conversation with a prospect where it’d come time to talk about how much she charged. And she had a number in mind. She’s set her “rates” and she told me she’d freeze up and the next thing she knew, she was scheduling the next meeting with the client. Completely bypassing the part where she talks about payment. This is a self-worth, self-doubt issue. It’s you doubting your own worth and feeling that no one would see the true value in what you’re offering… It’s not real- it’s a big, fat false assumption. And it’s big enough of a mind block that it will overpower the hundreds of hours of training someone has gone through to become a certified coach. Think about that- most coaches train for MONTHS- spend THOUSANDS to become certified… and then still struggle with whether or not their services are worth charging for. THIS. This is why you need an Avatar. This is why you niche down and get super specific… and you start figuring out your perfect, ideal client. And the language you use in describing this person… the way you imagine them… the way you position yourself IN FRONT of that person…  It’s what changed the game for me. It’s what changed the GAME. I’ve said it before- I’m a people pleaser. It’s in my DNA. I struggle with it… I want EVERYONE to think I’m awesome, and if I’m in a room with 100 people, and 99 of them love me, I will seek out that 1 and try and figure out why. I’ve had to work through that… and this process has been SO critical in helping me overcome that. When I think about the person- the ideal client I’m going to work with, I’m describing someone who WANTS to work with me, and who sees me as being able to solve their biggest problem. When I designed my avatar, I didn’t just think of their job, their age, their education… how much money they have… you need to have that stuff, for sure… but I ALSO thought about what it is THEY NEED FIXED! Their problem! Their pain! And I imagine them all messy and dirty… their picture, their fact, their clothes… messed up hair, muddy clothes, ragged, kind of lost and confused. Stay with me on this… don’t get too academic on me or tell me I’m being inappropriate or whatever. I’m imagining someone coming to me needing help! Everyone needs help, and we’re all struggling with something. So when this person shows up, yeah- in real life they might wear a suit and tie, have a nice haircut, smell good, clean cut… bright eyes. But on the inside, there’s pain. There’s unfinished business they’re stuck on. And they need help. And then, this is the key that glues all of this together… Remember I told you there was a secret piece to this that I built up? You ready for this? (slowly) I imagine myself working with them, fixing that problem, eliminating their pain, and once they're fixed… once they’re past the issues… I create a SECOND avatar – one that shows what that person is doing NOW… now that I’ve worked with them. The improvements in their life. Their new income. Their new freedom. Their new health, brighter smile, more joyful glow… I paint this image of that person basically being REBORN! Almost glowing… right? This is all imagery, and I’m not saying this person is somehow perfect now or that I’m some kind of saint or god or something… But the imagery is POWERFUL! And once I built up this image in my mind, I put that image in my mind EVERY SINGLE TIME I speak with someone. And because I’m crystal clear in who I want to work with, and what their problem and their pain are, I instantly put the person I’m talking to into that box. I put them into that broken, torn up, wrinkled, smelly, dirty and unfinished box. So when I’m speaking with a prospect, this is where I imagine them in my mind. Again, I’m not saying I’m better than them or trying to inflate my ego – this is a visualization process that puts me in a frame of mind that ALLOWS me to help them, and allows me to SELL to them. And as I talk with someone, and hear their story, and hear their pain and their struggle, I keep imagining this broken image over and over again. And how much it affects their lives. So what happens… when I have my strategy sessions with clients, I see them in this situation, and I see where I can help them out… I visualize where they are now, and I visualize where they COULD get to with my help. And that changes the framework of my sales pitch when it comes time to talk about money. I’m no longer selling them… I’m offering them a chance to get out of their current situation and into the better one that I KNOW exists for them. My job changes from being the person who tries to get them to buy something from me, to being the person who helps them realize there’s a way OUT for them. It’s subtle. But oh… so powerful! Do you get that? Having a before and after avatar will allow you to visualize in your mind what it is that your services ACTUALLY do! You can’t argue with the image once you create it… there are CLEARLY 2 different people from start to finish. The first image, your dream client with all the characteristics you desire in a client (this is where you go into detail about their life, their job, their family, and all the stuff about them that makes them PERFECT for what you’re offering). The important difference is that you DON’T want an image of a perfect, clean cut person represented here. You want to know who they are, know they’re a GREAT person with AWESOME qualities… but you need a visual image of someone who is messy and broken and DOESN’T have their crap together. Then, your second image… same person… same qualities as your ideal client BUT NOW they are fixed up! They’re clean, healthy, wealthy, more alive, more vibrant… they’re energized and excited about life! THIS is the person they become after working with you! It’s the same person – but there’s a metamorphosis. This is the process that I’ve developed that works for me… and it’s helped me help lots of clients, including DOZENS of coaches. It’s also helped me be completely okay with charging for my services… because now I can see how much BETTER off a person will be when they work with me. In the first, broken image – they’re not a bad person. There’s nothing “WRONG” with who they are… I just believe that no one wants to feel like I imagine that picture to look like. I believe my clients want to feel like the second picture. But I’ll caution you… this is where political correctness WILL NOT WORK! If you’re worried that imagining someone a certain way is somehow degrading to them or it makes you a terrible person, then you’re way off track. The person inside is amazing. But they’re broken and they need help. The before and after avatar is just a way for you to move this from being ABSTRACT to CONCRETE. You need SOMETHING visual to make this work. And it does work. If you like this, let me know in the comments! Also, thank you so much for subscribing and listening to the podcast! Have a great day and I’ll be back on Friday with another Future Success Story! Later!

You Guys, I Swear to God this is what this movie is about…. In 2004, John Wood had his left leg amputated after a single-engine plane crash that left him badly injured. He somehow convinced the doctors to let him keep the leg (!!!!!), he mummified it—yes MUMMIFIED IT—and eventually put it in a storage locker. In 2007 Shannon Whisnant unwittingly bought the leg when he purchased the contents of John’s storage locker after months of unpaid rent. Shannon—who should have been horrified—saw the leg as a money-making opportunity. He branded himself “The Leg Man” and tried to turn the leg into a tourist attraction. After learning what had become of his leg (HIS LEG, YOU GUYS), John decided to try to get it back. And the most ridiculous and disgusting custody battle the world has ever known was born.
