This is Miko Lee and I am so thrilled to have a guest co host this night, the amazing and talented Aisa Villarosa. Aisa can you please introduce yourselves to our audience? Say who you are, where you come from, and a little bit about yourself. [00:00:44] Aisa Villarosa: Thank you so much, Miko, and it's a joy to be with you and the Apex Express family. My name is Aisa, my pronouns are she, her, and I'm a Michigan born gay Filipino artist, activist, attorney with roots in ethnic studies organizing and teaching Filipino studies, in the wonderful Pa'aralang Pilipino of Southfield, Michigan. If you ever find yourself at the intersection of Eight Mile and Greenfield near Detroit, stop on by. [00:01:19] Miko Lee: Aisa, talk to me about this episode and what we're featuring in honor of the final week of Filipino American History Month. [00:01:28] Aisa Villarosa: I'd be honored to, Miko. We'll be doing a deep dive into Filipino American History Month today, including its origins and how the month acknowledges the first Filipinos who reached the shores of Morro Bay, California in 1587. We're going to be talking about what this month means in the context of today, how Filipinos are honoring the ongoing struggles for civil rights, for human rights, and we'll be talking to some personal heroes of mine. We'll also be talking about ethnic studies, which shares with new generations, these events and stories of Filipino Americans. [00:02:12] Miko Lee: Aisa, talk to me about ethnic studies. What is the background that we need to know? It's been a big part of our Asian American movement struggle with the fight for ethnic studies. give our audience a definition about what ethnic studies is and why is it important right now. [00:02:29] Aisa Villarosa: That's a great question, Miko. And I really love the definition of ethnic studies offered by the Coalition of Liberated Ethnic Studies. And they have said that this is essentially the knowledge, narratives, experiences, and wellness of Black, indigenous and people of color and their communities so that liberation of all peoples and relations are realized. And when we really break that down, this is the study of collective liberation. Part of why ethnic studies is so important is that this is really a root key to unlocking systemic change against hate. If it's taught in an intersectional approach, it really is a preventative tactic against racism. It's also rooted in storytelling. It's rooted in multi generational learning. And the best thing, in my opinion, with ethnic studies is we see the community as a living classroom. [00:03:32] Miko Lee: And , I know Ethnic Studies is part of your background. You came up as a student of Ethnic Studies. I came up in Women's Studies and Theater Studies not Ethnic Studies, but I took so many Ethnic Studies classes at San Francisco State that really profoundly shaped how I work and live as an activist and artist. Can you talk about how being a Filipino Studies student impacted you in your present day? [00:03:57] Aisa Villarosa: Absolutely. And oh, Miko, I feel like we would just be nerding out together in a theater or activism class. So thanks for sharing. Quite simply, I wouldn't be who I am without Ethnic Studies and the incredible folks behind this movement, including some voices that we'll be hearing from soon. It is encouraging that even in California, for example, ethnic studies was mandated in high schools in 2021. We are seeing a lot of progress across the nation with more and more school districts, more and more classrooms incorporating ethnic and Asian American, Pacific Islander, Native Hawaiian studies. And yet we also know that passing a law to teach ethnic studies is but one step and this isn't very well known, but ethnic studies is actually under attack. It's under attack from attempts to censor and limit the history and teaching, especially around colonization and militarization experienced by communities. And why this is really problematic is this sort of censorship can keep communities from finding one another, from finding that common ground, from seeing each other in their full humanity. [00:05:18] Miko Lee: Aisa there's so much going on in our world right now with what's happening in Palestine and Israel. And what does this have to do with the work of ethnic studies? [00:05:29] Aisa Villarosa: It has everything to do with ethnic studies, and right now we're seeing some targeting of students and activists speaking out for nonviolence, for a ceasefire, and an end to military occupation in Palestine, in Hawaii, across the world. And these activists and young folks are being targeted really, As Palestinian identity and people endure tremendous loss and mass displacement, why this matters is ethnic studies is living history and ethnic studies challenges us to take stock of moments where we can either be silent, or we can take action, including first steps to understand the history and the narratives behind these conflicts to really unpack the global impacts of colonization. It doesn't matter whether one is Filipino or Asian American or Black or Latinx or Indigenous or from any one of the countless communities living under the impacts of systemic violence and oppression. [00:06:36] Miko Lee: Thank you for sharing. I feel like we could do a whole series on why ethnic studies is so critical and important. But look forward to hearing from two people that are professors, educators, and activists and tell me who we're going to be talking with first. [00:06:51] Aisa Villarosa: We'll be talking first to Ate Emily Lawsin, a poet and an activist. She'll be sharing more about the establishment of Filipino American History Month. And then we'll be talking with activist and scholar Dylan Rodriguez, about Filipino American history in the context of today's struggles against white supremacy, military exploitation, and government violence. [00:07:16] Miko Lee: So let's take a listen to our interviews. [00:07:18] Aisa Villarosa: We are here tonight with one of my dearest mentors, heroes, big sister, a. k. a. Ate, Ate Emily Lawson. Emily, you have, over the course of your career, taught and made a difference in thousands of people's lives, including mine. For folks who are just getting to know you, can you share a little bit about your work and perhaps, you working on right now? [00:07:49] Emily Lawsin: My name is Emily Lawsin and I'm a second generation Filipino American, or pinay, as we say. I was born and raised in “she-attle” Washington and I'm the National President Emerita of the Filipino American National Historical Society or FANHS. I was on the board of trustees for 30 years no longer on the board, but still do supportive work for the organization. It's a completely volunteer run organization founded by Dorothy Ligo Cordova, Dr. Dorothy Ligo Cordova in 1982, I used to teach Asian Pacific Islander American studies and women's studies at different universities across the country in California and other states I was really blessed to be able to teach some of the first Filipino American history courses on different campuses and really utilize our FANHS curriculum in doing that. Now I work for four Culture which is King County's Cultural Development Authority, and I'm the Historic Preservation program manager there. I'm also a spoken word performance poet and oral historian [00:08:59] Aisa Villarosa: and for folks who have not had the privilege of watching Emily perform. You are a powerhouse. And a confession, I have inspirational post it notes around my laptop and I have one post it that says no more moments of silence. It's from a performance you gave, gosh, it was maybe sometime in 2008, [00:09:22] Emily Lawsin: yeah, that's awesome. Oh, thank you. [00:09:25] Aisa Villarosa: Yes. It's come full circle because I have remained a supporter of ethnic studies and part of why I am talking with you today is because October is Filipino American History Month and even breaking down every single word. In that phrase, there was a battle and a journey to even get the national recognition that y'all were able to get especially through your advocacy. So if you could tell the listeners maybe a bit about that journey and even for folks who are newer to the month, what is the difference between, say, heritage and history? [00:10:08] Emily Lawsin: Oh, that's awesome question. Thank you. Yeah, Filipino American History Month was really started by my Uncle Fred Cordova, Dr. Fred Cordova, who was the founding president of the Filipino American National Historical Society, or FANHS. He came up with the idea in 1991 and really wanted to recognize October as Philippine American History Month because the first documented landing of the first Filipinos in what is now known as the continental United States, specifically Morro Bay, California, happened on October 18th 1587. When Lizones Indios or Filipinos who were a crew and a slave slaves really on Spanish galleon ships were sent ashore off the coast of Morro Bay as like a landing party to scout out the area. If you actually look at a Instagram reel that our current FANHS President, Dr. Kevin Nadal made he tells you the history of, why October 18th, 1587 is important and it's not necessarily to celebrate that landing because people did die. But it's to commemorate and to remember that history and that memory where a Chumash Indupinos. Indigenous Filipinos Indupinos is what they call themselves too. They actually were instrumental in creating that moral based site as a historic marker for FANHS. That date is significant for Filipinos because of that first landing. And Then in the 1760s the first communities and families were created in the Bayou of Louisiana. Where these same crew folks or Filipinos jumped ship from those Spanish galleon and were called Manila Men by Marina Espina, who wrote the book Filipinos in Louisiana. Those families that jumped ship, created seven different villages in the bayous of Louisiana and intermarried with the local Creole communities there. Those families are now in their eighth and ninth generations. We wanted to recognize that history as being really the first Asian Americans in what is now known as the continental United States. Uncle Fred wrote the resolution for the FANHS Board of Trustees and they passed it in 1991 with the first observance nationally in 1992. Our FANHS chapters around the country started commemorating Philippine American History Month activities in October. It just grew from there. Institutions, schools, a lot of universities picked them up libraries city governments, county governments, state governments started picking up the resolution to honor our Filipino American history. We say Filipino American history, not heritage because we are a historical society, number one. But Number two, to recognize the history and the contributions of Filipinos to these United States of America. Not necessarily just Lumpia and dances and food. We are more than Ube. That's right. And there's nothing wrong with that. We're more than that, because Filipino American history is American history as well. And so then in the 2000s as our membership was growing And as our conferences were being more and more attended, a lot of our members in Washington, D. C. wanted to advocate and took up the charge from Uncle Fred, right? Uncle Fred asked them, hey, let's try to get this through Congress. And it went. For a few years and didn't necessarily pass as, as a history month until 2009. So 2009 we had representatives present the bill. We mobilized a lot of our members to call their Congress. People and it went through and then subsequent bills happened in 2011 and other years to officially recognize October as Philippine market history month. Barack Obama was the first White House celebration of Filipino American History Month. That meant a really big deal for us in FANHS that it was being recognized nationwide. President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris also issued proclamations resolutions this year. It's grown as our communities have grown, as our historical society has grown and it has expanded throughout the country and even in the curriculums. So we're really proud of that. [00:15:09] Aisa Villarosa: the success would not be possible, but for intergenerational solidarity, right? Almost being hand in hand with generations past and present and food, food is totally political Ate Em. So, so yes, calling, the great Dawn Maboulon, into the space, many Americans, are taught, unfortunately, by sort of the dominant structures that food is not political, but it's absolutely political, right? And I appreciate you sharing with the listeners the history behind the history, right? That this is both an accounting of the triumphs, the heartache, the fact that Many Filipinos use the term barkata, and when we look at the genesis of the word barkata, that term, which is almost like a friend that is really family, there's a spiritual bond there that was born of Spanish enslavement and colonization. So important that we ground the conversation in this. [00:16:09] Emily Lawsin: Yeah, and I thank you for bringing up my My Kumadre, the late Dr. Dawn Bohulano Mabalon. For the listeners who don't know, we consider her the queen and really was the foremost Filipino American historian of our generation. She passed away in 2018. Dawn was a incredibly gifted scholar was a very good friend of mine. Dawn was also a food historian, a labor historian a women's historian but she was also an activist she was a film producer she was a hip hop head she was a baker. the most incredible ube cupcakes you'd ever have. She was multi talented . Every day I think about how blessed we are to have known her, have her research still with us. I think, carries a lot of us who are close to her forward in the work that we do, but it also is continuing to teach younger generations now. You mentioned the intergenerational nature. That's totally what FANHS is. Dawn and I both came into FANHS as students. I came in as a high school student volunteering in Seattle and Dawn came in to our Los Angeles chapter. She was one of the founding student members of our Los Angeles chapter and then became a trustee and national scholar and was author of several books primarily her book on Little Manila in Stockton. Little Manila is in the heart. Since her death, I think a lot more young folks have mobilized and learned about her great activism to save Little Manila is not only in Stockton, but in other cities and towns all over the country to document Filipino American history through recordings, through music, through art. She's just inspired a whole, new generation because of the great work that she did. She wrote the landmark children's book on Larry Itliong one of the founders of the United Farm Workers Union. It was really the first illustrated children's book on Filipino American history. Gail Romasanta, our friend from Stockton was her co author and really wanted to thank Gail for Carrying forward Dawn's vision and publishing that children's book and her comadre, Dr. Allison Tintanco Cobales from San Francisco State University and Pinay Pinoy Educational Partnerships, created an incredible accompanying curriculum guide. Which a lot of us use at all different levels. The book is supposed to be for like middle school age students, but I assigned it for my college and university students. Because it was such a pathbreaking book. It's so informative and the accompanying curriculum guide really helps teachers and students, even families, engage with the material more and gives you discussion prompts and ideas as well. It is really an example of a researched children's book and grassroots effort to spread that knowledge around. After Dawn died we told Gail the publisher and co author, we're still going to do the book tour. I had promised Dawn that we would do that. I think it was like 20 cities across the country. It was amazing. It's really a testament to the intergenerational nature, the grassroots nature of FANHS. We run totally volunteer up until probably next year. Wow. Next year we'll probably hire our first staff person in 43 years. Because Auntie Dorothy Ligel Cordova has done it as a volunteer executive director. Oh my gosh. [00:20:16] Aisa Villarosa: Just a labor of love and also it's so important to build out the infrastructure so that that is good news. [00:20:23] Emily Lawsin: Totally labor of love. So if y'all are looking for a really worthy donation place, then that is it. Totally tax deductible. [00:20:32] Aisa Villarosa: And our listeners. can check out. We'll have some links related to this episode where folks can support you Ate Em as well as FAHNS. And as you were sharing, I kept thinking, some folks say art is our memory of love. But teaching is also an act of love. As you do as Ate Dawn Allison, so many have done are doing it is an act of love. And yet, Because of the violence of our systems we have book bans, we have attacks on ethnic studies still in 2023. How do you keep yourself nourished? [00:21:12] Emily Lawsin: Oh, such a good question. We had a penialism. Peniaism is a term that Dr. Allison Tintiaco Cabal has created, wow, 30 years ago now, or maybe less, maybe 25, I'm dating ourselves. She says peniaism equals love and pain and growth. That is so true. I believe in writing as my kind of outlet. Write for two reasons, love and revenge. Because what other reason would you write, right? So that's like a therapy outlet. To keep myself nourished, I'm really blessed to have a very loving partner and a very loving family. They nourish me. every day, literally feed me when I'm working late. But also with their love and their kindness and their brilliance. My two daughters are incredibly gifted and brilliant and just really blessed to have them. But also I think when I look at our community. Our Filipino American community specifically and how it's grown and changed through the years. Auntie Dorothy, when I was in college, was my professor and she used to say that our Filipino American community is built on many different layers. We have so many different generations that have immigrated over the years. And so every generation builds upon the other, the next generation. It's all these different layers. And I think that really helped me conceive of What it means to be in community with such a diverse Filipino American population. That education that knowledge has nourished me more than really anything else, because then I could. Always fall back to those teachings that Uncle Fred and Auntie Dorothy gave me. I was very blessed to have grown up on the Filipino Youth Activities Drill Team in Seattle that Uncle Fred and Auntie Dorothy co founded with other families, Filipino American families, as a way to keep Pinoy kids off the streets, right? It taught us our history and our pride, and gave me confidence in being Filipino, right? Being brown, being different. So that has constantly nourished me. My parents and their memory has nourished me because basically the work that we do, whether it's paid or not whether it's art, whether it's performance, whether it's history, writing, activism, or working for the man, making the dollar, whatever. To me, that's all fueled by the ancestors, and they literally plowed these fields before us, right? My uncles were farm workers. They were migrant farm workers. My mother was one of the first Filipino American women to work in the Alaskan cannery as an alaskera. You hear a lot about the Alaskeros or maybe you don't, I don't know. But she was one of the women and that is really. important to me. It's important for my children and others to, to know that history. If I remind myself that we're really doing the work of the ancestors then it's all worth it. It's all really worth it. [00:25:07] Aisa Villarosa: They say we don't know who all our ancestors are, but they know who we are. What you shared is also similar to Kapua, right? This concept that our identities are shared. So thank you for giving us your time and also just sharing what keeps you running on love in each moment. [00:25:32] Emily Lawsin: Absolutely. I just wanted to add a big thank you to you. I'm going to play the interviewer because I am the oral historian. I want listeners to know the good work that you've done. Since you were a student, a mentor activist yourself, an attorney working with youth and now working in the anti Asian violence movement, it's really important. In Philippine American History Month, it's not just about celebration. It is about commemorating the memories of those who've been killed. The memories of those who've passed I know you know about Joseph Aleto the Filipino American postal worker who was killed by a white supremacist on his work route a mile from my house. I was teaching at California State University, Northridge then, and the students said something incredible when they were organizing around that case. They said he was not in the wrong place at the wrong time, because people say that, right? When those kind of what they call random acts of violence happen, it wasn't random at all. He chose to kill Joseph Aletto because he looked like a person of color. He worked for the federal government. So the student at Cal State Northridge said, no, he wasn't in the wrong place at the wrong time. He was at his place, at his time, doing his job, just doing his job. The killer, the white supremacist, was the wrong person, at the wrong time. Joseph Aletto did not deserve to be killed like that. After he was killed, his memory was immediately ignored. And it wasn't until his family, his mother, Lillian, his brother, Ishmael, and his sister in law, Dina, stood up and said, “We will not have this happen to another family. We will not be ignored. ” they started a movement Join Our Struggle, Educate to Prevent Hate. And still love equality and tolerance and others, which is an acronym for his, the letters in his name. I totally supported that and love the Alato family for their activism to this day. So I want to thank you. For educating others in the work that you do now, you want to tell that because that's part of Philippine American history. [00:28:17] Aisa Villarosa: Thank you. And especially given our hard and painful moments right now thinking of. The pain felt by both Students and teachers of ethnic studies to many miles away the pain felt by Palestinians, right? There is a challenge and a duty that we have to both see the humanity in ourselves, but also bridge the shared struggles to humanize when we can because the stakes are too high. So thank you for reminding us of that. It was so beautiful to talk with you today. I hope listeners check out the links on our page and can learn more about Atta Emily Lawson's work and the work of FAHNS. [00:29:12] Emily Lawsin: Thank you, Aisa. I appreciate you. Mahal to everybody and Salama. Thank you. [00:29:20] Miko Lee: Aisa, I'm so glad that you're also sharing some music with us tonight. Can you tell us about the musician we're going to be hearing from? [00:29:28] Aisa Villarosa: Absolutely. I'm honored to introduce my friend and colleague, Mario, a. k. a. Power Struggle, who has been a behemoth in the Bay Area and global music and activism scene for many years. Power Struggle tells the story of The Filipino community, both in the Philippines, as well as connecting the dots to social justice and economic justice in the Bay Area and beyond. [00:30:00] Miko Lee: Coming up next is Cultural Worker featuring Equipto by Power Struggle. Welcome back. You are tuned into apex express, a 94.1 KPFA and 89.3 KPF. Be in Berkeley and online@kpfa.org [00:34:45] Aisa Villarosa: You were listening to Cultural Worker featuring Equipto by the Bay Area's own Power Struggle. I am here tonight talking to the incredible Dylan Rodriguez. Dylan, it is a pleasure to have you on the show with us. [00:35:01] Dylan Rodriguez: I've never been introduced that way. Thank you. Thank you for doing that. I decline. I decline all of the superlatives, humbled. I'm very humbled to the conversation. I'm grateful for the invitation. [00:35:12] Aisa Villarosa: Let me, I'll try that again. Here is Rabble Rouser Scholar extraordinaire Dylan Rodriguez. [00:35:18] Dylan Rodriguez: Yeah, troublemaking, troublemaking's good. Yeah, I'm down for that. [00:35:22] Aisa Villarosa: Dylan, I have to say most folks tuning in are based on the west coast, but you are gracing us with your presence from the east coast. So thank you. Thank you for being on late with us tonight. Can you tell the audience a little bit about yourself? Maybe starting with what do you do? [00:35:41] Dylan Rodriguez: I'm a professor at the University of California, the Riverside campus. This is now my 23rd year there. Despite multiple efforts, they have not been able to get rid of me yet. And I'm very proud to say that my primary vocation extends significantly beyond my day job. I think perhaps the most important part of What I would say I do biographically is that my life work is adjoined to various forms of collaborative attempts at radical political activity, speculative and experimental forms of organizing and community. I've been engaged in abolitionist Forms of practice and teaching and scholarship and organizing since the mid to late 90s. I'm interested in collaborating with people who are down with Black liberation anti colonialism opposition to anti Black racist colonial state. I've been involved so many different organizations and movements that I lose track, but I think that's, in a nutshell, what I'm about. [00:36:39] Aisa Villarosa: So you're in Your 23rd year the Michael Jordan year, and thank you for sharing with us. It sounds like you are a world builder Grace Lee Boggs often says that how can we build the future if we're not visioning it and working toward it. So thank you for everything you've been doing and In terms of in the classroom, can you talk a little bit about what you teach? [00:37:04] Dylan Rodriguez: I teach a variety of different classes that center the archives, the thoughts, the writing, the poetry, the art of radical revolutionary liberationists and anti colonial organizers, thinkers, and scholars. For example, this right now, for example, right now I'm teaching a graduate class in anti Blackness and racial colonial state violence. And we're reading a variety of people. I'm interested in, in the whole spectrum. of thought and praxis that is attacking the racist and anti Black and colonial state. I teach another class on the prison industrial complex and that's a class I've been teaching for more than 20 years and I teach it from in a in an unapologetically experimental abolitionist position. So I'm interested in stoking and supporting whatever forms of collective and collaborative activity are possible to at bare minimum to undermine The premises of this carceral regime that we all live under and I teach a bunch of other things too, but I think the overall trajectory that I'm interested in is some combination of radical autonomy revolutionary trajectory and also just. As I get older, I become less patient. So I'll say that I feel like a lot of the way I teach all the content what I teach now, whether it's in a classroom or somewhere else is increasingly militantly accelerationist I think that there is a place and a necessity for accelerating, militant opposition and confrontation with this unsustainable, genocidal, civilizational project that we all differently inhabit. I feel like it's an obligation to teach and work within an identification of that context. [00:38:47] Aisa Villarosa: What I heard you say is. You're less patient and it sounds like it's because we are running out of time. [00:38:53] Dylan Rodriguez: Yeah, we are living. I think we're outta time. I think we're outta time. I'm unprecedented times. Yes, we're out of time and mean as we have this conversation and as I've been saying to anybody that listen to me, these these last several days. We're in a moment of an actual unfolding genocide, and I'm not sure, I'm not sure that those who identify themselves as the left, particularly the North American and U. S. left, have an adequate sense of urgency and honesty about what it means to be in this historical moment. [00:39:26] Aisa Villarosa: I'd love for you to break this down. I wonder if at this moment, there are folks listening who are completely in agreement. There might be some other folks who perhaps are not sure what to think. And some of that, a lot of that is the impacts of colonization itself, right? We are trained to think small culturally, put your head down. You mentioned you teach anti Blackness and as someone who grew up in racially segregated Michigan with a Black and white and Filipino family, people used to joke that we were the United Nations of families. And yet we did not have the words to talk about anti Blackness. We did not. Unpack it in any sort of meaningful way. And we didn't consider what it meant for our Black family members. So for folks listening who are perhaps new to unpacking anti Blackness, unpacking the genocide in Palestine. Can you connect the dots a little bit? [00:40:33] Dylan Rodriguez: I can do so in a provisional way. I have no definitive answers for anybody who hears this broadcast or reads this transcript. So let me just start with that. I don't present myself as having answers really at all. What I have are urgent, ambitious and militant attempts. But let me just say that's where I'm coming from. I believe in experimentation. I believe in collective, collaborative. militant work that, first of all, identifies the very things you just did. So I want to just, first of all, reflect back to you how important, how courageous it is to just use the terms, right? To use the terms, to center the terms of anti Blackness, to focus on anti Blackness is so principled and it is also principled it is a principle and it is principled to focus on anti Blackness as a specific way in which to experience and confront and deal with the civilizational project that is so completely foundationally violent. To name what is happening right now in Palestine by way of the United States and its militarization support of the state of Israel as genocide. That takes some courage on the part of whoever says it, and I think it's a courage that is emboldened when it's a collective courage. So what I'll say about it as a provisional response as a partial response to what you said is that. I think everything that we do in relation to these dynamics to these forms of violence that are so foundational to the way in which the present historical tense is formed around us, meaning genocide of Palestinians displacement genocide apartheid against Palestinians, and this foundational modern structure of anti Blackness that naming those things, and then identifying how it is that it is not an option to develop it. It's principled, political, ideological, spiritual collective relationship, you have to figure out what your relationship is to those dynamics. You have no choice. What I have no patience for are those who would treat these things genocide in Palestine, the global logic of anti Blackness, as if it's somehow optional. As if it's somehow as if it's somehow elective that it's a volunteeristic kind of alternative to deal. You have no choice. You have to figure out, articulate, and hopefully you're doing this in collaboration with other people. You've got to figure out what your position is. And once you do that, things tend to map themselves out because you get pulled in and invited into projects and collective work that actually tends to be really emboldening and beautiful. So I'll say that like wherever you are, whether it's northern Southern California, whether it's I happen to be right now on the East Coast in the state of New Hampshire I live in Southern California. I think identifying those things is the first and most important courageous collective step. [00:43:18] Aisa Villarosa: And turning a little bit to ethnic studies, which we heard previously from Atta Emily Lawson about the power of ethnic studies and if done right, if taught in a liberatory way, it gives us the answers. It helps us bridge gaps that oppression wrought on us, and some would say that's dangerous. Can you share what you have experienced as An instructor as a scholar of ethnic studies in your long career, [00:43:54] Dylan Rodriguez: So first of all, shout out to Dr. Emily Lawson, one of my Thank you. youngest old friends. All respect and all empowerment to everything that she says. So I just I do my best to amplify whatever it is that she's done and said. So I come out of ethnic studies. I got my Ph. D. In ethnic studies. I'm one of the people who was humbled to be part of, I think, the new kind of the most recent revision and reification the newest chapter of ethnic studies, which people call critical ethnic studies. So I've been in, in the ethnic studies project for essentially my whole adult life. I'm now 49 plus years old, so it's been for, it's been a while that I've been involved. So ethnic studies, As far as what it does in the world, I'm going to go the opposite direction that some of my colleagues do, and I don't mean this to contradict them, this to compliment them. I think ethnic studies is productively endangering. I think it is constructively violent. I think ethnic studies is beautifully displacing. That's been my experience with it, and what I mean by those things is this. I'm convinced that if one approaches ethnic studies as something more than just an academic curriculum, if one approaches it as a way to reshape how you interpret the world around you, how you understand history, how you understand your relationship, both to history and to other people, that it should shake you to your foundations. It really should. And the reason I say that is because, for the most part, the ways in which people, especially in North America, are ideologically trained in whatever school systems they experience from the time they enter a language is to assimilate, to accept and to concede to the United States nation building project, which is empire, right? It's a continuation of anti Black chattel. It's all of these things, which we started this conversation with. It's all those things. So what ethnic studies does is it should shake you to your foundations by way of exposing exactly what it is that you have been. In some ways, literally bred into loyalty to so so when it shakes with your foundations, that's an endangering feeling. I've had it so many times in the classroom where I can sense it. I can. And sometimes students, the students who are the most, I think audacious will articulate it that way, right? And they will, they'll sometimes hold it against the teacher, right? Whether it's me or somebody else. And I'll say I feel like I'm being attacked, right? And you know what? I used to be defensive about that, but you know what? In probably the last 15 to 20 years, I tell them, you know what that's how you should feel. Because what's happening right now is that you're experiencing an archive and a history and a way of seeing the world that is it's forcing you to question Essentially some of the most important assumptions that have shaped your way of identifying who you are on this planet and in the United States and in relation to the United States and the violence of the United States. You've never thought about the United States as a violent genocidal anti Black nation building project. Now that we're naming that. Yeah, you know you're feeling a kind of violence through that and ideological violence you feel displaced by that you feel endangered by that. That's all right. That's all right because I'm here with you. You know I'm here with you and we're all in this. At the same time, and the point is to figure out what's going to be the right some people will just disavow it and they'll do their best to fabricate their own return to the point from which they started. And then a lot of other people will never be able to go back to that same place that is the beauty of what I understand to be the best of ethnic studies is it displaces people from this default loyalty to the United States nation building project it disrupts the kind of default Americanism. That seems to shape the horizon of people's political, cultural, ideological ambitions, and it says that there's got to be something on the other side of this that is liberatory, that's a different way of being in the world. That's the best of ethnic studies. And so I do my best to work within that lineage, within that tradition, within that ambition. [00:48:02] Aisa Villarosa: I am thinking about. Adrienne Marie Brown and folks who say subscribe to the Nap ministry, et cetera. And as we progress generationally, we, in some cases, get a more nuanced vocabulary for times to pause, times to recharge you know, COVID 19 name your thing. Is there room in this struggle knowing that essentially we're out of time, right? The timer is going off. Can we rest? And how can we find rest in each other? [00:48:46] Dylan Rodriguez: That's such a hard one. I'll be completely vulnerable with the people that are listening, reading, and experiencing my comments right now. I would be a hypocrite to say That I fully ascribe to any regime that is committed to self care, right? I'd be lying. I'd be lying. I feel like I'm mostly committed to trying to engage with whatever forms of possibility radical possibility are available at my best to the point of getting close to exhaustion and then stopping and taking a rest and just asking people to give me a break and people are very just so let me back up the people who I tend to collaborate with nowadays are incredibly generous. They look out for each other. They give me more of a break than I probably need or deserve. All right, so but I'll say at the very same time with what is. obsessing me is this kind of humble notion that I want to maximize whatever contribution I can make to advancing some form of a liberation and abolitionist and anti colonial and Black liberation project before I walk off the mortal coil. That's it. That's my contribution. I feel honored to be part of that. I don't expect to necessarily see the liberation, the revolution, the decolonization in my lifetime, it's not about that. It's not that narcissistic. I got over that many years ago. So I'll say that with all humility with all vulnerability to people here, and I don't prescribe it. I'm not saying anybody should be like me. To the contrary. I think the lesson that I've learned from a variety of comrades who are much more mature than I am in terms of understanding the limitations of doing work this way and people have exemplified. A version of collective self care that attacks the kind of neoliberal individualized notion of self care that frankly really gets under my skin. They have taught me what my friends at the what [Big Tree & Martine] and I'll send you the link so people can check them out. They're the co founders of Ujima Medics in Chicago. I quote them all the time on this. But they have talked to me more than once about the notion. Of collective and deep responsibility. So I think I would use the term of deep responsibility, rather than self care I would use the term deep responsibility as a way to understand what it means to be in community with people who will make sure that you take the time that you take the space to recharge and pause that people who will recognize your vulnerability and your exhaustion. And make sure that you're able to rest to the point where you will remain a warrior that's effective in this ongoing struggle. And warrior when I say warrior I mean that all different kind of ways, right? There's all different kind of warriors. So I think what Martine and Amika talk about is deep responsibility is the one I would really emphasize because I think it's a notion of collectivity and it means that we're actually looking out for each other. And what it means is that we are pushing each other to care. For ourselves and others are caring for us, maybe in a way. That is wiser than we are capable, than what we are capable of doing for ourselves. And I know, and again, with all humility and vulnerability, I feel like that's what I need from people around me is to be around people who believe in that form of deeper collective responsibility. I'm probably not capable of it, right? That makes me, I know that makes me a bad abolitionist, everybody, but but others have taught me that's my limitation. So I feel like that's where I'm at. [00:52:10] Aisa Villarosa: You're winning the. Award for most honest guest star on this show, Dylan. [00:52:17] Dylan Rodriguez: I have no choice. I have no choice. [00:52:20] Aisa Villarosa: How can people support [00:52:21] Dylan Rodriguez: you? Oh man I don't need support. I don't need support from people. I don't. I don't. I don't I feel like there's so many, there's so many collective organizations and What I'd rather do is if you wanna get in touch with me, I'm happy to do that. People hit me up. I'm on social media, like I'm on Instagram and Twitter. Just look me up. Dylan Rodriguez 73 on Instagram. Dylan at Dylan Rodriguez. On Twitter. I guess it's called X Now. I don't know, I'm gonna jump off those platforms at some point, but for now I'm still on 'em. Email. You can email me at Dylan Rodriguez, collaborate@gmail.com. So that's a cool way to get in touch. So I feel like I'm Profoundly privileged position. Again I get to participate in all different forms of collective work. I have plenty of support. So I don't want people supporting me. What I want people to do is figure out what kinds of collaborative collective collaborative and collective project around them that are seeking autonomy. That's what I want people to do. That's what I want you to support. I want you to support autonomous projects. For liberation revolutionary struggle. And if it if there's decolonization there as well autonomous projects that are not dependent on the state that are not dependent on the Democratic Party that are not dependent on nonprofit organizations, non governmental organizations that don't Rely on public policy reforms. If there are communities organizations around that are seeking to create autonomous forms of power. That's what I want people to support. I think that's what needs to be modeled. That is what is on the other side of this collapsing civilization. Are these forms of autonomy, the sooner that we can begin to participate and experiment and autonomous forms of community that creates autonomous forms of things like justice, freedom, security. You know what I mean? It's secure. Health security, food security, education security, recreation security, the security of joy, collective love, all that stuff. The sooner that we can figure out different models to do that there may be an other side to the collapse of the civilization, which could very well happen in the coming days. I think depending where you are right now, it might be happening now. So that's what I would ask people to do, would be to support something like that. And if not, instigate and create it. [00:54:28] Aisa Villarosa: So appreciate that. And earlier… Off the recording, you and I were talking about something doesn't need to last forever to be successful. There is a molting that is happening now, a shedding, if you will. And so for listeners who are beginning their journey, you've made them feel just a little bit less lonely. So thank you for being on the show with us tonight, Dylan. Do you want to close with any final words for the audience? [00:55:01] Dylan Rodriguez: Yeah first of all, thank you for inviting me. I hope we can do this again sometime soon. This is a beautiful few minutes I shared. I do not take for granted that people are listening to this and taking it to heart. So I think the closing words I would offer to anybody who is interested in being engaged with the historical record to which we are speaking. I would just ask you if you're not already involved in some form of collective creative work. Whether it's something you would call a social movement, whether it's formal organization or whether it's something else. I will just ask that everybody here that's listening to this, if you're not already involved in something that's collective that is collaborative and ideally that is radically experimental and willing to look beyond. The horizons that have been presented to you as the farthest possibility. I want people to speculate and to figure out what is beyond the horizons that have been presented to them as the limit. What is beyond that? And I'm talking to artists. I'm talking to poets, scholars, activists, organizers, whoever is here, people who are incarcerated, everybody who's here, like there are so many different traditions that we can attach ourselves to all those traditions are collaborative and collective. So please just be part of a collective. Be part of a collective and for whatever it's worth reach out to somebody who can help you facilitate joining a collective. That's why I left you on my contact information, because for whatever it's worth, if I can play a small role in that, I'm down to do it. You probably don't need me. You probably got somebody else in your life that can help you do that. But do something that is collective, collaborative, experimental. That's my that's what I would leave with people. Yeah, that's the last words I would leave with people. [00:56:38] Aisa Villarosa: Borders are meant to be broken. So thank you, Dylan, for expanding folks vision tonight. Thank you for inviting me.

As a self-defense instructor, and Life Defense coach, we see many options to CREATE in direct conflict. Take any circumstance of attack and an infinite number of actions CREATE how the scenario plays out. Example, someone comes up behind you, and slips their arm around your neck. Without thinking, your self-defense instinct kicks in and you do a Reactive Hip Out circling behind the assumed attacker's grasp, and just before you break their knee with a powerful Muy Thai style kick, you recognize it's your old Uncle Fred giving you an arm around the shoulder friendly greeting. As we enter the holidays people do this sort of thing… In an instant we go from CREATING a life saving self-defense encounter to apologizing to poor Uncle Fred as you see the terror in his eyes after you retract your shin from his knee. Now you'll spend the next few hours listening to your uncle's near death encounter. As anyone can see, the outcomes of this event could have been quite different if we had followed through, and broke poor Uncle Fred's knee. We CREATED a safe outcome from what we had previously thought an attack. In self-defense there are countless options, and outcomes for every type of attack. Life also gives us countless options to every encounter imaginable, and many unexpected as well. We train our bodies, and our minds to react to certain stimuli constantly each and every day, and yet there are possibly infinite ways of dealing with the multiple scenarios of life. It is this time of year that we encourage our participants to visualize what they want to CREATE for the expected and unexpected events in their upcoming year. True that an “Uncle Fred” may surprise you, and you may want to adjust your reaction when that happens. Yet, as you CREATE your life with each interaction consider thoughtfully, intentionally CREATING what you want your life to be. You see, life is a CREATION, although people interact in that CREATION, you still get to CREATE outcomes, and meaning. Don't wait till 11:59pm December 31st to CREATE your life. Consider doing it now, because you are in charge, you CREATE meaning, and you CREATE your life.

New music and a new story from Uncle Fred about dinner last night

Steve shares the Gone to the Dogs microphone this week with a charming and equally interesting guest from the State of Florida, Martha Brown. Coming from a bird dog background as a child, Brown learned the coon hunting sport from a local hunter affectionally known as Uncle Fred. When the coon hunting bug bit like a Florida mosquito, for Brown there was no turning back. A nurse professionally, Brown competition-hunted early on with English dogs but switched to the Treeing Walker breed and never looked back. Thinks came to a screeching halt when Hurricane Michael devasted her hunting territory in 2018.  Brown's newly completed home was mildly damaged but her property, including her kennels and all her trees on her were destroyed. If that were not enough, Brown was soon diagnosed with cancer. But Brown is no quitter, and her story has a happy ending.Steve met Martha Brown as she competed in the UKC Winter Classic coonhound competition in Albany, Georgia and was immediately impressed by her knowledge of hounds and hunting, qualities he judged to be on equal footing with some of the most knowledgeable hunters in the game. Brown, at the height of her hunting career was recognized as a topflight competitor, judge, and trainer of quality hounds. The conversation between two friends is ripe with memories and gets good when Steve coaxes Brown to share tales from her glory days in the sport. 

People are encouraged to plan for retirement (Save money!) and dying (Make a will!). But many of us — maybe most of us — forget that there can be a long (and expensive) time in between. In this episode, host Lenore Tracey talks with author, humorist, and elder law attorney Cathy Sikorski. Cathy's new book, 12 Conversations: How To Talk to Almost Anyone About Long-Term Care Planning gives caregivers and future care recipients — all of us — reasons to talk to each other about how we'll pay for care and what types of care we want. Better yet, Cathy gives us the language to deal with these conversations, no matter who you're talking to — Mom, Dad, your grown-up kids, your Uncle Fred, your doctor, or your mom's doctor.Check out what long-term care care costs where you (or your loved one) live: https://www.genworth.com/aging-and-you/finances/cost-of-care.html. Best to be sitting down when you do this! Then commit to having those important conversations with the people you love.*Genworth Financial 2021 Cost of Care SurveyAbout Our Guest:Cathy Sikorski has been a caregiver for the last 25 years for eight different family members and friends. A published author and humorist, Sikorski is also a practicing elder law attorney. Her legal expertise and sense of humor have made her a sought-after speaker where she tackles the legal issues that affect those who will one day be or need a caregiver (which is everyone).Cathy's most recent book, 12 Conversations: How To Talk to Almost Anyone About Long-Term Care Planning offers practical advice for discussing this difficult topic with your aging parents, your adult children, your siblings, your spouse, and other key players you will meet as a caregiver - or a care recipient. Cathy's wicked sense of humor and commitment to straight talk will prepare you to get through these conversations successfully - maybe even gracefully! Cathy's first book was a memoir, Showering with Nana: Confessions of a Serial (killer) Caregiver. That was followed by Who Moved My Teeth? - a humorous and informative book with practical and legal tips for caregivers and baby boomers. Cathy maintains an active blog “You just have to Laugh…where Caregiving is Comedy…”.

Today is a perfect day to talk about the Nocebo effect and toxic people. You are probably aware of Placebos. Something that is innocent however you think it will produce a positive result and it does. A Placebo effect can occur up to 60% of the time. The opposite is also true.  The Nocebo is something that you think will produce a negative result, so it does. What happens why your Uncle Fred is talking about businesses failing when he running a business? He starts to slide toward that negative result. Here is the thing, both are environmental and habitual, so we are talking about some in our lives and how to avoid them. When you are a small business, you hear no all day long.  We are going to get into identifying when you are in a Nocebo and what you can do.

Today's Reading: 2 Corinthians 5:20-6:10Daily Lectionary: Genesis 2:4-25; Mark 1:29-45 For he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:20) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Even though the season of Lent has just begun, think back to Christmas. Imagine sitting around in a circle with family or friends at a Christmas white elephant gift exchange. There's always that one person who forgets the instructions and brings an expensive gift to a clean-out-your-closet gift exchange. You brought junk, but Uncle Fred over there brought treasure.  There's a glimpse of the Gospel in this famous (or infamous, depending on your point of view) Christmas tradition. It's what Martin Luther called the blessed or sweet exchange. Luther said it this way: "God is rich in divine grace to sinners: wherein by a wonderful exchange our sins are no longer ours but Christ's and the righteousness of Christ is ours. He has emptied Himself of His righteousness that He might clothe us with it, and fill us with it. He has taken our evils upon Himself that He might deliver us from them." This is what Paul proclaims when he writes in 2 Corinthians 5:20 that God "made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." Jesus takes on all our sin, unholiness, and unrighteousness, and in exchange, gives us His forgiveness, His holiness, and His righteousness. Jesus takes the punishment we deserved, the death we had coming, and the wrath of God that we had earned, and in exchange, He sets us free, raises us from the dead, and showers us with His steadfast love and mercy. Sounds awfully unfair, doesn't it? And it is. But thank God He is unfair! Thank God we don't get what we deserve, but rather, that in Jesus crucified we get the opposite of what we deserve. We receive God's grace. Thank God for His outrageous forgiveness for undeserving sinners. Thank God that Jesus, who was perfect and sinless, became sin for us, so that in Him we would become the righteousness of God. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Almighty and everlasting God, mercifully look upon our infirmities, and in all our dangers and necessities stretch forth your right hand to help and defend us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.-Rev. Samuel Schuldheisz is pastor of Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in Milton, WA.Audio Reflections Speaker: Rev.

Read Matthew 22:34-40. Can you remember the first time you gave someone a gift? Maybe it was flowers from a garden for your mum, or a chocolate heart for your first Valentine, or a pair of socks at Christmas for your Uncle Fred. We often remember gifts we have given and gifts we have received because they are visual symbols of love. God is, of course, the ultimate gift-giver. Everything we have is a gift from him. Everything in the created world is a gift. He gives his gifts of salvation, grace, and mercy. He gives us gifts of talents and skills. And his Holy Spirit gives us specific gifts for use in the service of others. What can we do to show our gratitude for these gifts from God? We can give something back to him. When I gave Gail a ring on our wedding day as a symbol of my love for her, she gave a ring back to me to show me that she loved me too. Why not set aside some time today to give God a gift. If you're a musician, why not sing to him or play him your instrument? If you're a dancer, you could dance a dance for him. If you're a baker, then why not make him a cake (and if you decide to give it away after you've baked it, you might make someone else's day too!). You could write him a letter or a poem. Or you could do something else equally as creative. Take time to express your love to God today. THINK IT OVER Think about the following: oWhat gift could you offer to God today as an expression of your love for him?

What does it mean to be bold, and why is it such an important characteristic to have—not just for you, but for your kids? I don't know about you, but I want my kids to grab life big. I want them to follow their dreams and seize all the opportunities that life has to offer. I want them to try new things, explore the world, start a new business, fall in love, and become the best possible versions of themselves.  But in order for that to happen, I need to set a good example AND create an environment where they can thrive! The problem is, being bold isn't always easy—especially in today's climate, where everyone has a different POV. It seems that speaking your truth or attempting to have an open dialogue around conflicting subjects is likely to get you into trouble. So, should we just stay silent? How do we speak up and act boldly with so much fear around being silenced or shunned? To explore this topic, I'm speaking with Fred Joyal, author of Superbold: From Under-Confident to Charismatic in 90 Days, who is proof that boldness can be learned. Fred went from an extremely shy person (too timid to make a phone call) and transformed himself into someone who has done stand-up comedy, spoken to audiences of 5,000+, met dozens of celebrities, and, just by being bold, found love, joy, passion, and success. If that's the type of life you imagine for your kids, don't miss my conversation with Fred Joyal! Fred Joyal Podcast Highlights The TV appearance decision that cost Fred $250K—and why it ended up being a bold move for his business! How Fred transformed from a shy person, to founding the most successful dentist referral service in the country. Why is boldness a superpower? The difference between boldness and confidence. How fear gets in the way of acting bold and stifles opportunities. Create new realities by casting a vision of possibilities. To be interesting, be interested! Showing your kids how to be bold. Dealing with the fear of being silenced if you boldly speak your truth. Discovering your blind spots by embracing the opposite. Why you shouldn't invalidate someone's feelings about something. Cancel culture is completely out of control. What do we do about it? Why anyone can learn to be bold.

Say or tell:  two verbs instead of one. Listen to these examples:My father says I should study more.My father told me to study more.Here's another example.Uncle Fred said he was a great inventor.Uncle Fred told me he was a great inventor.In this lesson I will give you plenty of example sentences. Some contain ‘say' and some contain ‘tell' and some include both verbs. What you will not find in this podcast are any explanations of grammar rules for these two verbs. There are plenty of good explanations on the internet and you will find some links at the end of these notes. And while grammar rules are interesting—for some people, at least—they don't replace lots of listening and repeating correct sentences. Look at it this way: when you're trying to have a conversation, if you have to stop and think about rules, the conversation goes out the window. When you can say what you want to say automatically and correctly, then you can have comfortable conversations in another language. If you need to replay this podcast ten times or even fifty times, who cares? If you want to learn English, feed your ears English.Okay, let's get started!Part One: Practice with TellI'm sure she'll tell you the truth.He tells funny stories.They're telling us about their vacation.Harry has never told me a lie.Please tell us about your plans for next year.Tell the kids I'll be back in two hours.I'm telling you, just stop watching TV all day.I can tell you—that guy is nothing but trouble.He told me his mother was coming to visit him next week.She was telling me about her day when my phone rang and interrupted us.Mary had never told us the story of her life, until we started asking her questions this morning.Tell us where you were last night at 11pm, and who you were with—and you better tell us the truth.My grandfather fought in World War II, but he never told us anything about his experiences.Every day she tells herself that things will get better soon.My mom has a secret, but she's not telling anyone what it is.The hotel's instructions told us how to connect to the wifi.Part Two: Practice with SayShe says she speaks Japanese, but I don't believe her.He said he was tired and didn't want to go out with us.John will say anything to avoid work. What a bum!Richard never says what he's really thinking.When I say “SPEAK” to my dog, he barks.I've never said anything that stupid, have I? Please tell me I haven't!If you had said, “Don't go into the jungle, it's too dangerous!” we would have climbed Mt. Everest instead.Do as I say, not as I do.He's a good driver, but that's not saying much because he's only allowed to drive a golf cart.I keep saying “NO” but he doesn't seem to understand me.Let's end with some listening practice:Part Three:  Examples with both verbs:She asked if I was hungry. I said yes, and she told me to help myself from the frig. [refrigerator]My ex-boyfriend told me he was going away forever. I said, “Have a good trip.”The thief said, “Your money or your life!” I laughed and told him to shoot me [be]cause I didn't have a penny.He told his dog to sit—and the dog sat. “Good dog!” he said. When to use say and when to use tellIntro & Outro Music: La Pompe Du Trompe by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com

Questions from Sean Connolly, Colin Kearney, Eric Lee, Libby Lee, Anonymous, Mike Finnerty, Kevin DePietri, and Uncle Fred.

Episode 005 - Live and Die by the Contract Clients hire us for many reasons, not the least of which is help with various contracts.  Those contracts could be the purchase agreement, listing contracts, leases--or many others.  While agents are NOT attorneys and should NOT give legal advice, your clients do have some expectation of guidance throughout the contract process.  We give helpful suggestions on how to guide your clients to make better informed decisions. SHOW NOTES 00:55 – Talking about contracts. Cate LOVES contracts.  01:30 – Contracts are important, and we are about helping you become a legendary agent. 02:30 – Clients hire us for many things. Not your pretty face.  Access to MLS.  They MOST want our expertise on a very complicated transaction. 03:35 – We are NOT attorneys but maybe can shed some light and save clients some money. 03:50 – Clients think they know about the law. “Uncle Fred told me…”; “HGTV” showed me how to do… 04:30 – Contracts are part of the reason clients hire us. Agents should tread carefully, unless they are an attorney. 05:00 – Definition of a contract: 1) Legal capacity (legal age and sound mind); Example: Elderly client with diminished mind.  Example:  Drunk client shows up to closing. 07:05 – 2) Mutual assent – both parties agree to the terms. Agreement of promises.  Meeting of the minds.  08:05 – 3) Legal purpose – cannot enter an illegal contract. Trickery, forgery, non-disclosure, etc. 09:05 – 4) Consideration – the reason we are entering into this contract. Example:  money, ownership. 09:40 – Some contracts are required to be in writing to be enforceable. Example:  A lease for less than one year are not required to be in writing to be enforceable in court.  This is called Statute of Frauds. 10:55 – Can you write a contract on a napkin? 11:25 – Verbal agreement, “handshake” agreement issues. Parol evidence rule.  GET IT IN WRITING. 12:30 – “Ring” doorbell systems and other potential “personal property” items are getting more contentious. Is it a “fixture?”  Write in the contract whether the item stays or does NOT stay. 13:45 – B: “You are not a legitimate agent until you've had to buy an appliance.” Agent “thinks” everyone was honest and being reasonable, but you get burned. 14:25 – Cate: What happens when agent goes on vacation? The contract is what everyone will lean on.  Get notes and make sure everything is covered. 14:50 – How well do you know your contracts? Challenge:  READ all your contracts, front to back.  KNOW them!  Get with someone that can walk you through them.  Your clients are going to ask you about them.  Do NOT gloss over them with your clients.  Don’t do a disservice to your clients.  Do not interpret since you are not an attorney. 16:45 – Read your contract in sections. Keeps it fresh in your mind.  Jump around so it doesn’t get boring. 17:15 – Get with your accountability partner or another agent in your office to practice presenting an offer to your client. Practice, Practice, Practice.  Know if forward and backward.  Understand what it means. 18:15 – Other contract pieces: Addendum and amendment.  Addendum means add to an existing contract.  It does NOT mean change because you aren’t changing anything already agreed to.  Amendment means amend (change, alter) an existing contract.  This means you are changing a previously agreed to element of an existing contract. 20:10 – How a contract works. Offer and counteroffer process in creating a contract. 20:50 – A counter is a rejection of the previous offer and the offeror is under no longer bound by that previous offer. 22:50 – Rescinding a counteroffer. The counter is a rejection.  Buyer can accept, but not required. 23:25 – The best way to handle many contract issues is to re-write the contract. “Don’t be lazy!”  Digital contracts make it so much easier.  “GET OVER YOURSELF!” 26:00 – If you make any change to a contract, your client needs to re-sign the contract. Don’t make a change AFTER they have signed the contract. 26:40 – If you are in a situation that is not clear, get with your broker and/or an attorney. 27:00 – I don’t like possibly, maybe, sort of, kinda okay is NOT okay. 27:15 – Valid, void and voidable contracts. 27:30 – Void = we don’t have a legal contract. In fact, a void contract is not a contract at all because it cannot legally be completed.  Fraud, deception, forgery. 28:00 – Cate = “typical agent”. Voidable = one party has the right to cancel the contract.  Example: not of legal age or lack of mental capacity. 29:45 – Valid contract = typical contract, has all the legal elements of a contract. 29:50 – Breach of contract. Suit for specific performance = court order to force a party to perform their contracted promised.  Liquidated damages.  Mutual release. 31:15 – Cate interjects her philosophical suggestion: “Let your client sleep on it.”  Let them vent to you. 32:35 – You’re NOT an attorney. Know your boundaries.  Ask your broker for help. 33:15 – Contract example: Closing costs.  Watch your words when you write the contract. 34:50 – Your words matter!   SHOW LINKS Statute of Frauds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statute_of_frauds MY LEGS - Marriage, contract for Years, Land, Executorship, Guarantor, Sale (over a certain dollar amount) - https://www.thelaw.com/law/the-statute-of-frauds-and-contract-law.247/ Electronic Document Signatures: docusign.com Electronic Real Estate Transactions: dotloop.com Parol Evidence: https://www.hg.org/legal-articles/what-is-parol-evidence-31812 GnR does "Live and Let Die": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RywqQ_AKB9M   BETWEEN THE LINES LINKS Email briancleebtl@gmail.com cate@craftsmanrg.com   Web brianclee.com catelee.com realestatebetweenthelines.com   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/realestatebetweenthelines/ https://www.facebook.com/Brian-C-Lee-111822417027919/?   YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcv4dHU39-b5_QVVCIhbcBA?

Not going to like, I (John) was a wee bit nervous to interview Patrick Moreau, from Muse Storytelling. To me, he is sort of a legend. Not only has the guy done so much for the wedding industry with tutorials, and story telling. But he has filmed some of the most incredible stories that the world has to offer. His company, StillMotion, began over a decade ago, and they literally changed the entire landscape for wedding filmmakers. He, and his crew were so far ahead of the curve, that they rather quickly were contacted by Canon to help them film tutorials for filmmakers. The films were driven by story. His crew was one of the first companies to do this. They opened up this whole new world (cue the Aladdin theme song) for people in our industry. Our eyes were open to the fact that you could literally have no boundaries when telling a story. I would catch myself watching his films and getting lost in the story. It wasn't just Uncle Fred with a camera and a big light. It was a production. A raw story, and it drew you in. You couldn't help but watch from beginning to end. With their incredible passion for having no boundaries, and putting story first, their company exploded. Someone from the NFL saw one of their films, and hired them do a documentary on the Playoffs, then the Army vs Navy game hired them on a several hundred thousand dollar contract to product a documentary. This led to Patrick and the team winning an Emmy for their work, and SO MANY more opportunities. After teaching so many courses on story, Patrick and his team created Muse Story Telling, and have broken down the exact science and psychology of telling a story. They taught courses and workshops around the world. I owe a ton of my success to his work. I was so honored to get an hour of his time, and would love to hear what you think about this episode. A HUGE thank you to Patrick, and the Muse Story Telling team for letting us hear all of the things that are going on in your world.

Lisa Campion is a Psychic Counselor, Energy Healer and Spiritual Teacher who specializes in training emerging psychics, healers and empaths to fully step into their gifts and live their life purpose - because, as she says, the world needs all the healers it can get! She’s been a professional psychic for decades and she also teaches Reiki. She talks about her brand new book which integrates psychic development and Reiki together.

I've been teaching reiki for about 20 years. And just in case you don't know what reiki is, reiki is a very gentle, hands-on energy healing technique from Japan. It's pretty exciting these days because, out here on the east coast where I live, all of the big hospitals have reiki in their complementary and alternative medicine units. So you can go to a big Boston hospital and ask for a reiki person to come and do this energy healing on you while you're in the hospital while you're getting chemo, pre and post surgery. It's really used for pain management a lot these days. Works great for anxiety and depression. It's getting to be more and more popular, more and more mainstream. So I train a lot of people to do reiki. I've been teaching for 20 years. What I noticed about it and why psychic reiki is that studying particularly reiki, energy medicine in general, but particularly reiki, often opens people who are sensitive. So if you're an empath, you might become more sensitive. If you have psychic tendencies or potential and you learn reiki, that can really open that channel for you. A lot of people didn't know what to do about that. It would be scary for them. It would be, I had one old lady tell me, 'I really love reiki but I stepped away from it because I felt like it opened me. I didn't know what to do and I got scared.' That makes me sad because I feel like the world needs all the healers it can get. That's how I decided to teach both of them together and why I wrote a book about it. Slade: I'm just wondering, that question comes up for a lot of people that I interact with, this idea of being opened up and being afraid of that happening. And kind of like, resisting it and sort of backing up from that. What do you say to somebody who's experiencing that, or on the verge of sort of feeling like they're opening up a little bit. What do you recommend that they do to sort of protect themselves but also move forward? Lisa: Yeah, it can be super overwhelming to people, so people who are sensitive and empathic, they feel, they're worried, they're afraid they're going to get flooded or overwhelmed or swamped by other people's feelings and emotions. That's hard for them. The people that are psychically-inclined may have a lot of fear about what that means. Are they gonna see bad things? Are they gonna go crazy? Are people gonna think they're crazy? What are they gonna tell their friends and family they're seeing people, they're having these psychic experiences, and there's still a lot of stigma about this. I know I'm preaching to the choir with you on this topic, Slade, but, you know, not too long ago, they would put people like us in the mental hospital for talking to angels. Slade: True. Lisa: Talking to angels and talking to their Uncle Fred would land you in the looney bin. So people have to sort of unwind the fear around that. And then, I think the best thing to do about it, I think everyone has to make a decision about whether they're going to accept or allow that part of themselves. Can we own it and what, if you do, then we have to sort of train. So, the empaths need to train, learn how to manage their energy, which nobody ever knows. Because very few people get taught that. And psychic people need to learn basic... I think it's like being street-smart. Like, how do we, when we have enough information, it's less scary than if we just don't throw open the door and don't have any context for it. Slade: You know, you're right to talk about the preaching to the choir thing. Even I forget how many people who are going through this, it's new for them. It's sometimes hard to remember when you've been doing this for 20 years that there's somebody who's experiencing this for two weeks or whatever. I keep being reminded, especially on social media and the Facebook groups, so many people posting about being in that part of the process. So I do want to be really sensitive to the fact that not everybody feels as bold and brave as we might. So who is this book for, ideally? Lisa: It's for people that are new to the idea of reiki and wanting to learn. So it gives my version of reiki, which is pretty practical, pretty grounded, pretty technical in a way. And I think it would also quite benefit people who are already reiki practitioners. You know, there's over a million reiki practitioners just in the United States alone and many more worldwide. Those people who have studied reiki, who want to learn more about it but also want to really incorporate the psychic, intuitive energy management piece because hardly anyone teaches that. There are a lot of fabulous reiki teachers, but they don't teach energy management basics. They don't teach how to really open our intuition, how to really strongly connect with our guides, our reiki guides. There doesn't seem to be very much where that's all in the same package. Slade: There are photographs in your book. There are infographics. You've got hand positions for working on yourself, for working on other people. Can we learn to actually practice reiki from this book? Lisa: You could. Yeah. It was designed to be a manual, so you can use it like a manual with a lot of the psychic and energy management techniques. And even those techniques are very technical-oriented, so teaching you specifically how to ground, how to clear yourself after a session, how to connect with your guides, what to do when x, y and z happens. Of course, when we're doing reiki, you do need to receive an attunment. The attunement can only be done by a reiki master. So a lot of people say, 'Well I feel like I touch people and I move energy. Am I doing reiki?' And the answer really is no unless you had a reiki attunement. So you could get everything you needed for reiki level one and two from the book except the attunement. You still need to find somebody near you who would do that for you. Slade: Well if there's that many people out there who are reiki practitioners, I guess that's a pretty realistic thing to be able to track down. What do you suggest someone does who maybe doesn't live in a major city, if they want to do the attunement? How would they find someone? Lisa: Lots of people do long distance attunements, and I do too. So I'm happy to do long distance attunements for people that I teach. Actually for the first time ever this summer, I taught a virtual reiki class via livestream. So I had a bunch of people in the room with me, and then I had a whole bunch of people on livestream. That was very cool. I loved it. For those people that were taking the class virtually, I would attune them long distance. So you can get long distance attunements. You can get long distance reiki treatment sessions and long distance works just as well. Some people say even better than when you're in the room. Slade: Really? Why do you think that is? Lisa: They've done a lot of studies, and I read this really interesting study recently about this. Long distance healing sessions seem to be more effective because... I don't know if there's less interference, there's less personalization. We don't take things personally as much. There's not, maybe as much mingling of our personal stuff into a session when it's long distance. Slade: Like sensory distractions or something? Lisa: Yeah, or like our personal agenda. Like you really like that person and you really want to help them. Slade: Right. Lisa: Sort of where we get hooked as a person, not as a healer, with our clients. And doing long distance work takes that out. Slade: Interesting. Well I prefer to not see people when I'm doing readings for them. I like to be kind of blind and only listening to them. And I prefer to do it from a distance. If somebody local asks me to do a reading, I'm like, 'You have to call me. I won't do it in the room with you.' Lisa: I know. I know that about you! I think that's so cool. But you're an auditory psychic, really, so... Slade: Yeah... Lisa: I know you got all the channels loaded up, but that's how you make your connection. Slade: It's kind of like when you listen to a piece of music and you really want to go in deep, you close your eyes and really focus in on it. But I am a people watcher, so I'm reading the subtle clues of like, the jewellry choices that someone made or what they're wearing or why does she have that hairstyle? It's very distracting. Lisa: Right! And I think the long distance takes that away. We get sort of a more neutral, more objective connection with long distance. Slade: You know what? I just have to say, I think technology's so amazing. And because I really think that technology is a friend to our... You know, we talk about the inner connectivity of human beings and collective consciousness and the zeitgeist and our ascendance as a species. I really believe that our technology, in particular our communications technology, amplifies our ability to do that. It really does have this opportunity to be hyper-connected. And to hear that there is a study that shows, not only does it works, but it actually might even work better - that's exciting. Lisa: That was exciting. And it was so exciting for me to do the livestream this summer. That was an incredible experience for me as a teacher, because I had a room full of 20 people, but I also had 10... One from... They were all over the world! And that livestream technology put them in the room with me. So cool. Slade: Are you gonna keep doing those, do you think? Periodically? Lisa: Yeah! Slade: Okay! Lisa: I will. Slade: Cool, cool. I've always wanted to ask a reiki practitioner this, and for some reason I haven't. Maybe because I don't want to show actually how little I know about it. But I'm just curious. What kind of things can we expect to experience if we are receiving reiki from someone? Should we feel something? What happens? Lisa: Yeah it's a great question. Reiki is a very nurturing and filling kind of energy. We say it comes in at the frequency of unconditional love. Which, I think if you're going to be stuck on planet earth, stuck on a desert island with only one frequency, that's a really good one to have, you know? Most people are really, sort of like turning on a faucet and standing under a waterfall where what you're receiving is this unconditional love. People tell me that it's very relaxing. It's very warm. So the reiki practitioner's hands get warm. That's sort of a signature of reiki - it's a hot hand healing technique. And people will feel sort of this, sometimes if you're sensitive to the flow of energy, you might feel pulsing, tingling, heat, kind of the feelings of energy moving. Other people don't feel that but they feel the results of the energy moving. So they'll feel relaxed, warm, peaceful, nurtured, energized. It's good. It's a good feeling. Slade: I am really impressed. I'm only becoming just aware, not only through you, but through another reiki practitioner that I work with, and I do mentoring with a lot of people around the intuitive stuff and the building of their practice who do have reiki and incorporate that into their practice. I come from the other side of where you're coming from, which is, I came in through the intuitive. And so much of what I do is just, almost a talk therapy or talk coaching format, and I have seen that there is this real beauty in having a healing component to your practice. Not only being able to tell someone, 'Oh, well your energy looks like crap. Here's why.' But to have the ability to actually do something about it, right then and there... Lisa: Absolutely. For me, that's the coolest thing. I do, about half of my sessions are in person in my office, and half are long-distance, phone or skype. The in-person sessions, because I'm a visual psychic and I'm looking at everyone's energy field, it's really painful for me to sit in a chair and see what's going on inside your energy field and not want to do something about it. So you can see me look at my client, I'll be like, 'Let's get you up on the table.' Because I want to get my hands on you. I want to sort of smooth things out or get rid of some blocks or kind of patch you back up a little bit. It's so satisfying to me to be able to do that. Slade: Well that's interesting you talk about the fact that you are more of a visual psychic. I noticed, just for me personally, looking through the book, one of the sections that I was most attracted to was the level of detail that you go into about reading the aura of the client. Talk to me a little bit about that. Is this stuff that you've observed through your practice? Did you learn it from someone else? There's a really cool level of detail specifically about reading the aura that I was surprised to find in here. I thought it was cool. Lisa: Yeah, thank you! I think I can teach people to do it pretty quickly. It's finding your open channel, so look, I teach my students to have somebody stand in front of a white wall and begin to observe. Like, what do we see? What do we see with our eyes open? What do we see if we look out of our peripheral vision or if you squint your eye? What do you then see if you close your eyes, because you're going to see better. Your psychic eye will kind of kick in. I like to also change the word 'see' to 'perceive'. So what do we perceive? Because everyone has different channels. Somebody might feel it, hear it. You might ask, 'Well what does that person's aura look like?' And you get the answer as a word in your head or a feeling in your body. A smell, a taste, a colour. There's all kinds of ways that that comes in and I think a lot of it is, that information is very available to us. Because we're constantly unconsciously reading other people's energy 24/7. We're all masters at it. Slade: Mmm... Lisa: We're ready. We're just doing it mostly unconsciously. So bringing that sort of consciousness, and then being aware of what channels we're receiving that information on is where we get really, oh, no, I get it. Slade: I notice that there's also an emphasis on empaths, which is really cool because, as we were talking about earlier, this experience of being sensitive and opening up to things. Tell me why particularly you chose to emphasize so much training around that energy hygiene, or that energy protection component. Lisa: Thanks for that question. It's a great question. What I notice about empaths, and I really work a lot with empathic people, is that I believe, the qualities of being an empath (so being able to feel what people are feeling with your own emotions, being able to put your hands on people, touch them and feel what's going on in their body in YOUR body), I believe that those two things are like the perfect diagnostic x-ray, MRI, for healers. So, really, that's what empath is for. That level of empathy is for people that are drawn to helping, healing, being a caregiver. We can all find our own unique way of doing that. But SO many empaths are called to be healers. So many. So many are called... And reiki is such a great entry point for people that are wanting to study. In fact, I will often tell my empaths to learn reiki, because learning reiki gives them an outlet for their desire to heal people. It teaches you how to not use your own energy, but to use universal life force. We can't run out of this universal supply of energy so you're not giving up your personal energy in reiki. And then it teaches you how to really ground, how to clear yourself, especially the way that I teach it. We learn these energetic basics of, how do we manage our energy field? So I think it's very good on every level, for people that are empaths. Slade: You know what I love about that too is so many people who talk about being highly sensitive, or experiencing empathic phenomenon, feel victimized by it. They feel afraid or anxious or beleaguered in some way. There's a lot of negativity and sort of victim-mindset around that sometimes. I really love, especially some of the people, like yourself that I've had on the show, who speak about the idea of being an empath from this really empowered perspective. That sensitivity is a gift and it's an ability that you can develop to do something really active in the world to help other people, right? Lisa: Yes. I absolutely... And I feel like what needs to happen is the empaths need to learn how to manage their energy, to manage their sensitivity. And that's the part that's missing for them. So it does absolutely feel like a curse. Like, take it away from me, make it go away, until we learn, first of all, what it's for. And then, second of all, how do we actually, in the moment, manage our energy. How do we ground? How do we clear energy we picked up that we don't want anymore? How do we pick up a habit of having a stronger energy field, or less porous energy field? And it's not hard to learn. There are many, many easy ways to do it. Once you begin to do that in a habitual way, so you change your habits, your energy management habits, then all of a sudden, the world is easier to be in. People don't drain you. The supermarket doesn't freak you out. And you can really then step into your gifts. And I feel this, it makes me really sad, because I feel like there's this terrible catch-22. Empaths want to help. They want to serve. They know that's what they're for and they can't figure out how to do it without this missing piece. Slade: Mmm... Something that I had an epiphany around there was you talking about was learning to use universal life force energy instead of using your own energy. And I thought, you know what? Maybe when I experience the anxiety of being drained, or from interacting with too many people, maybe it's because I'm shifting into a mode where I'm using my own energy and I'm not consciously aware of that. I'm gonna go sit with that concept. That was actually really revelatory for me. I'm having a moment over here, thinking, Ohmygod, is that what I'm doing? Lisa: Oh good! Slade: Like I'm gonna go work on that piece. Lisa: We ALL do! It's what we all do until we learn otherwise. Until we learn there's another way. Slade: Yeah. Lisa: We give up our energy, and when we don't have anymore, we steal energy from other people. We steal energy from coffee, sugar. We kind of have to... We become desperately drained and we then have to figure out how to fill ourselves up through addictions or through sort of energy vampirism. All of these horrible things that we don't want to do. So people are always talking about energy vampires. I'm considering this as the topic of my next book, by the way. What is the truth about energy vampires? Some energy vampires are people that are so empathic and they've been so badly drained that they're now desperate to get energy from anything. We go into system breakdown when that happens. Slade: That's kind of a more compassionate way to think about them too, to tell you the truth. Because when I hear 'energy vampire', I'm thinking, somebody with a personality disorder, who's like, 'Oh god, (eye roll) here they come.' You know what I mean? So to think about that from a more compassionate place of like, why are they doing that? What happened to them that they got to that point? That's a good thing to keep in mind. This is a little bit of a tangent, but while we're on the subject, what are your feelings around psychic attack? Like when somebody comes to you and says, 'I'm being psychically attacked', or 'someone is cursing me', or doing some kind of evil magic on me... What are your feelings about that? What's going on? Lisa: I think that it's real. I definitely have, in all the years that I've been doing work, you know, doing sessions for people, I think most of the time, probably a good 80% of the time, whoever's doing it is totally unconscious that they're doing it. You know? You're going through a rough break up and your ex is walking around, muttering, cursing you the way we think, that kind of thing, and if we're sensitive and we're so psychically connected to somebody, we're gonna feel it. Slade: Okay. Lisa: You know? We're gonna feel that. And I think that's most of the time. It's not that the person, somebody, woke up and said, 'I'm gonna do some black magic today!' 'What can I do to take a bite out of Slade this morning?' That is pretty rare. It does happen. There are definitely cultures or people who are very curse-prone. And I lived in a town with... For awhile, my office was in a town with a population of people who really loved to curse. And you'd go, you could go pay this lady $500 to put a curse on your friend who stole your boyfriend. Then if you're the person that got cursed, you go to the same lady to pay her $500 to get that thing off. That's happened. I just think it's not as common. It's mostly unconscious. People not knowing how to... And then people having maybe not very good boundaries. So if you're very leaky and you don't have a strong boundary, and the outer edge of your energy field is breached through trauma or whatever. There's many reasons why that happens. Then you can be really sensitive to that. Slade: My feeling is that you kind of have to participate in it at some level. Like, you've gotta be in some kind of relationship with this person in order for that phenomenon to occur. That may or may not necessarily be in your book. I just wanted to ask you about it while you were talking about it. And you were thinking about perhaps writing something about the topic. It is something that people bring to me in my practice, and I'm always a little bit suspicious of it being what they perceive it as. You know, that there could be something else going on. One thing I want to ask you about the book though is, we talked a lot about the reiki and the energy management part of it. Can we also learn to do psychic readings through this book? Lisa: Yeah. Yeah, you can. So I talk a lot about that. How to develop our psychic abilities. How to develop our intuition, which I see slightly different from psychic, and how to apply that in a reading. Because what happens a lot is that people, you know, when you're doing reiki or you're working with your hands, on or just above a person, and if you have those channels open, you might begin to see colours around those people. You might begin to feel the presence of spirits around you. It happens ALL the time. And I think it's great. It's an incredible opportunity for the healing to be deeper, more powerful, for your client to get more out of it if you know how to do it. So we have to learn, what does it mean when you see colours around people? What do you do when a spirit comes in? 'I think your mother's here...' How do we handle that? How do we get more of it? How do we have good boundaries and ethics around it? I talk actually a lot about ethics in my book. Because I feel like people... It's really important because not everyone gets good training, not every psychic gets good training, not every healer gets good training around, what are the boundaries? How do we keep ourselves and our client safe, especially with psychic stuff. Slade: I'm curious. Do you have any kind of plans to do maybe a Facebook group or some other kind of support around the book and the people who are working with it in the process? Lisa: Yeah! I have a Facebook group. It's called Psychic Reiki. Slade: Okay. Lisa: I would love to have you in it. Come on in, everybody! Slade: Okay! Lisa: It's a real nice community and it is a... You do have to ask permission to join the group, but I'd love to have you there. And that's exactly... I pop in there every week and do some Facebook live, I do some teaching, I answer questions. It's a great community. Slade: Is there anything that we haven't touched on about the book that you really want to emphasize or get out there? Lisa: I just wanted to say, I don't know, how, kind of amazed I am that I did it. It was really quite a process and it's been a very growthful personal process for me, to commit to doing it. It was a lot of work. I started writing it in 2015 and here it is in 2018, hitting the shelves. It was a pretty intense journey for me to go fully down that path and... Yeah, I guess that's... Slade: Well we definitely do have some writers in the audience and I wanted to ask you... Like, I always feel a little bit guilty if I start to nerd out on the author stuff when I'm talking to someone else. But you and I were talking a lot about the process and this journey, and books are big project undertakings. They're, like you said, you spent three years working on this. So what did you discover about this creative process? Will you do it again? Lisa: Absolutely will. The books are like queuing up in my head, so I already have the next three books, I think, in my head. I think of them like airplanes waiting for an open runway to land. And they do build up and I do feel compelled to write. Actually, I quite like the process of writing. I really enjoy it and somehow I was under this crazy idea that that was sort of it. That you hand in the manuscript and then you're done. Suddenly a book magically happens. So I wasn't prepared for the amount of work that it took to write the proposal, which I thought was more difficult than writing the book. And I had a coach. I never would've done it... I've had some really good coaching. And that's what helped me really get over these parts that I didn't know. And I would talk to my book coach and literally have to go breathe into a paper bag for a few minutes afterwards... 'You want me to do what?' Slade: We're so neurotic about this, aren't we? Lisa: Ohmygod, it was terrible! It had me at my edge, like the edge of my comfort zone. Once the writing was over, I was sort of fine during that period. Then I got an agent, that happened actually easily for me and a week later I had a publishing deal from a very good publisher, New Harbinger Press. They specialize in self-help and spirituality books. Then there was a year of editing the manuscript, which I was like, 'Ah! Piece of cake. I can do this.' And it was absolutely grueling. Slade: Ooo... Lisa: And it took forever. And the editor that I had was very good but not a big hand-holder. So after, little shreds of my ego were left after that book, I mean, there was nothing. It was like burned down to a bare-bones of myself. But I learned a TON. I learned a ton about how to write a good book and I'm a teacher, so that's where I came from. And she's like, 'There's a different skill set between teaching and writing a book that people will actually read.' So what happened to the manuscript, you wouldn't even recognize the manuscript I turned in compared to what it is. But I learned a ton. And then when I was, I was like, 'I'm finally done!' They sent the manuscript back to me and they said, 'Great. Now cut out 10,000 words.' Slade: Ooo, yeah. Lisa: And I learned micro-editing, like you take out the little words that don't mean anything. And I'm super glad I did because it's so much more polished. So much more readable. The whole process of that. Slade: My editor is a grammar nazi. I mean, she has a masters degree in grammar. I'm an English major. I have an English degree. I write all the time. I don't think that I'm that bad at it. But I learned that I had so many horrible... My face turns red thinking about the things that I would fill a manuscript with unconsciously. And so, the things that she's taught me about grammar, like, 'Oh, you have a tendency to do this thing, which is really annoying, and then you're gonna have to go through and change it'. What happens is, you take that on and it becomes a part of your programming. And then the next time you write, you don't do those things. So it is the most humiliating thing in the world to work really hard on something and feel like such a smartypants and then have somebody hand it back to you marked to pieces. I mean, it just shreds your soul. Lisa: Totally. It was so painful, but I'm such a better writer now. Slade: Yeah! And every time you do it, it's like you're learning something, even about the structure of a book. Like when you go in and write that next outline, having been through that process, it changes the way that you start. It reduces the amount of work on the back end, sometimes, just by knowing, okay, I know what's going to happen here so let's build this in from the beginning. I just want to say that for... Yeah, go ahead. Lisa: I was just gonna say, who knew that a chapter really needs an introductory paragraph and a concluding paragraph. They teach you that in high school and I never did it. And now I have it. Slade: Did you not do... Did you not identify as a writer when you were younger like that? Lisa: I did! I totally did. I was like you. I was a literature major. I studied comparative literature. I was a freelance writer for Ziff Davis for ten years. I wrote magazine articles for national magazines. I always thought I was a good writer. And I think I was a good writer, but I think I'm a much better writer now. Slade: Mmm... I think you're the real deal. Because most people would crumble in the face of that and just run away. The fact that you've been through that process and your first thought is, Ooo what am I going to do next, is the sure sign of an author. I'm really excited for you to be experiencing this first big launch. I was gonna say, for everybody who's out there working on a book, there is a great power in completing projects and taking them all the way through the process. Because, like I said, you learn something from the tail end of it, which is so much bigger than you thought. That then informs what you do from the beginning and the next one. And I feel like that probably happens on some level every single time. So don't just write A book. Write lots of books. Write all of them, if you have time. Lisa: Yeah. Slade: Lisa, I'm so happy that our work gives us the opportunity to get together and talk like we do. Again, the book is called The Art of Psychic Reiki: developing your intuitive and empathic abilities for energy healing, by Lisa Campion. Tell us where we can go to find out more about you and this book. Lisa: Well the book you can get on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles, Goodreads. It's available on all those places. And if you want to find out more about me, just come visit me on my website: LisaCampion.com I'd love to see you on that Facebook group. Find me on Facebook or like me on Facebook and find my Facebook page, Psychic Reiki. I'd love to see you there. Slade: That was great, Lisa. Thank you for coming on the show. Lisa: Thank you, Slade. It was so much fun.
