Just Do It

light into your life. And I do this with inspirational insights and conversations with celebrities and everyday people like you and me, Because if you want to be better and you want to do better, then you're going to have to be able to see better. So join me on this journey of living our best lives and understanding and realizing how you are your greatest ass at get.

exercise your body. It's part of the growing process. Nothing's going to come to you just sitting there waiting and wasting time. The only thing that's coming faster is death. I know, I say it all the time and it sounds so morbid, but I don't think people realize that you are going to die. Listen, we heading over to life Insurance Awareness Month. Yeah, I'm going to have a good friend of mine, Wanda Honoree, who talks about the importance of having life insurance. How can it benefit you

not only after life, but during life? And I think half the time people don't really realize that because they say, oh, it's not something that I need to be concerned with right now. That's not true, because what if you get sick? Huh? What if you get ill? What if your loved ones, whatever happens in your life that affects your income, what are you going to do? See at that point, you're going to be forced to react or redact. I don't know I wanted to insert that in there somewhere because

that rhymes. But anyway, the point is to just do it. Please Jesus for your sanity and for your peace. To you feeling alive, Do you satisfying that dream that's inside of you. I understand that you may be scared and listen, I mean, is that really a wrong way to learn, because the most important thing is to learn now? One really really gets mad at the teacher of life because usually when you are preparing yourself in school, your teacher

gives you assignments. Right, you might take some pop quizes, some quizzes before you get prepared for the test. But however, they say life is the greatest teacher because you take the test and then you learn the lesson. Well, half of y'all are not even showing up for the test, yet you want to get the lesson. It's like you want the physique and the body without working out. You wanna be healthy with not eating right. Yeah, you can fake it for a little while, but best believe it's

gonna tear you up inside. It's gonna mess with your peace, it's gonna distort your vision, it's gonna start you to start it's gonna start you to hear things different ways. That was really insane coming out, but you got what I mean. Okay, so just do it. Oh and a follow up from the podcast yesterday so or not yesterday, well technically yesterday, but you're gonna hear this on Thursday. Probably it don't matter. The last episode. I did remember when I said I was going to meet Jennifer Lashley

or jen you know from Solo Robotics. We we're gonna ride around and the way more car chiw. I did not make it over there, not in a bad way. I was still making money. I got calls because you know, I do some hosting, some live hosting, selling luxury bags, and I was asked to stay a little bit longer to sell some bags. And I did because I was like, you gotta get that shwiney. And I didn't make it out to and I didn't get a chance to send an email. Then I came back home, got my stuff.

Then here I am at the studio, had a conversation with Jade Barnes. He is the LA coordinator for the Black Men's Wellness Day. I don't know if you're familiar, you may have heard me talk about it before and perhaps if you are a continued listener, you probably heard the conversation or perhaps me talking about it the African American Male Wellness Agency and Black Men's Wellness Day Well. I had a conversation with him on his podcast called Cultured Podcast k U L t r D Podcasts and

their Cultured pod on all social media. We were talking about the movie Shirley. You know about Shirley Twill Chisholm, the first African American wan to run for president, and we go aligned that with Cora aligned. We aligned that within discussing about Kamala Harris, and along with that came about how we as black people need to stick together. Do we just jump on the board for somebody who's black, what it means to be growing up in a broken household.

We even touched on cam Noon and Nick Cannon, and believe it or not, it all intertwined in the conversation when we're talking about a woman running for president. We had one of Jade's friends he's known for over twenty years. Her name is Tanil, she's down in Atlanta. And then his co host was it Keenan Floyd. He's a comedian, interesting brother I told him before we left, I said, you know what, we need to have another conversation so we can unpack some things, unpack some things. It was

juicy child. Was supposed to be an hour max. An hour and fifteen minutes. We didn't get off to two hours. But we had a great conversation. That's nevertheless, that's all that matters. And check it out. It's probably up now. They're gonna put some highlights and so forth on the social media's for you to check out. But anyway, got completely derailed. So yeah, I came back, recorded that and

then here I am now. But also what I want to say, I'm actually going to see Jay tomorrow and I want to encourage you to pull up if you're around on Thursday, August twenty ninth, I would love for you to pull up on me. We have a committee planning meeting, So if you're interested in saving the lives of black men, because here in California, did you know the estimated age is sixty eight years old. Yes, black men are only living to the age of sixty eight

and we need to put an end to that. And it all comes down to awareness and knowing your numbers, because when you know better, you can do better. So if you want to be a part of this change, if you want to be a part of the commitment, come on and tap in. We're going to be at the MLK Center for Public Health right off of Wilmington eleven eight thirty three South Wilmington Avenue from twelve thirty to one thirty. Pull up on us. We're also seeking ambassadors.

So if you know somebody who has a profound voice within the community that can invoke change, that can congregate people, and also has a voice that others can hear literally and figuratively, please send them my way. Please go ahead. In fact, I have a special email. I actually created an email for the organization because they have hired me on to handle some social media content. Yes, I am

the social media coordinator. Believe it or not. I don't know if I share with you, but if you are a listener, then you will know that I served as the digital content producer for the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Yes, even on Instagram alone. I started that account at thirty four K and got them up to nine hundred and fifty four K, so basically almost a million. That was in about two and a half years and so a lot of those tactics I brought to the table. And as you can see if you follow us on social

media at AA Wellness LA, you will see that. Also. If you know somebody that wants to be ambassador, if you will like to be a vendor, if you would like to be a sponsor, if you want to just touch your hands on it, and you got some questions I want to I urge you to send an email to bmw d LA twenty twenty four. That's bmw DLA twenty twenty four. Basically it stands for Black Men's Wellness Day LA twenty twenty four at gmail dot com. Go ahead and send me a message. I just hit up

Dale Cornergame. I end up Kevin Cross. You may be familiar with the FMDL. If not, honey, we about to get familiar with the whole community. And I told them, I said, Hey, we got a meeting tomorrow. Hey, would you like to be an ambassador? Send me a video. You can check the Instagram. Not the Instagram, you can go ahead and check Facebook. Right now, I was doing the test recording in the studio and Dale had called me to make sure the audio was together, and he

was like ding I got your bag. Kevin Ross commented, I made sure I slid in his DM sent him a text message, and so now I'm calling on you pull up, okay, because we got to look after each other. This goes on the same notion of the conversation we were talking about on culture Podcasts, when we talk about these broken homes because we don't know better, we can't do better because we so busy worrying about right now

trying to function rather than thriving and surviving living. I don't know if that makes sense, but you know what I got, and I came in here and gave you a word. Okay. We talked about the importance of just doing it. We talked about how we can't wait for nobody. We talked about life insurance awareness months next month and how you need to be up on it. And now we're talking about how to get involved to saving black man's lives, which turn around effectively saves your own soul.

And I just want to know. Do you want to have a say? So that's it? All right, let me get out of here. It is super late, I must say. In the past couple of days, child, I feel like
