[00:00:00] Speaker A: This is your host, dear Wells of why not you? And I have a question for you. How has following the golden Rule treat others as you wish to be treated impacted your day to day interactions and relationships?
In this episode, I have my boy, Rich O'Neal, aka Richie Rich, in this impromptu interview. While we're at Mayor London Breeze fundraiser in San Francisco, he's about to go in on how belief in yourself acts as a soundtrack to your story and the significance of treating others with respect.
Following that golden rule and how our actions affect those around us, we're also going to talk shop about the unsung heroes of those working in skilled trades, shining a light on their earning potential and the lifestyle that follows. It's time to rethink the college narrative. Let's get into this conversation with Richie Richard. Let's go.
[00:00:56] Speaker B: Welcome to another episode of why not you? With your host, Derek Wells, where we talk with leaders and entrepreneurs who are doing what they love to do. They'll share insights into overcoming adversity, the systems they use, along with the power of personal growth, faith, and much more. Our goal is to empower you with personal growth, faith, and a plan for ultimate success. Now here's Derek with another life changing story.
[00:01:26] Speaker C: So we record. We record. So let me just tell y'all, not only my client, I'm also the president.
We just gonna start with that. There you go. That means I can play any position. You know, I'm gonna tell you like this. The CEO, I tell people this all the time. You don't get caught up on small things, right? Small things lead to big fail, failures. The CEO of Walmart, we just gonna use Walmart. Any CEO, they don't care who working at check stand 17 in El Grove. They want to make sure checkstan 17 is working.
[00:01:54] Speaker D: That's right.
[00:01:55] Speaker C: Because they got a bottom line, period, point blank. Don't get caught up on the personalities or religion or this party, that party or this color. That color is. Are you working to my agenda? And does my agenda fit your agenda? And if you can figure that out immediately, first conversation, 1st 15 questions. That's when you get to that bottom line.
[00:02:18] Speaker D: That's it.
[00:02:19] Speaker C: Don't waste time. I don't care what your favorite color. I don't care where you went on vacation. I don't care what part you had or what you did or how much money you made.
[00:02:26] Speaker D: That's right.
[00:02:26] Speaker C: Is your agenda meeting my agenda? Are we the same bird? I've never seen ducks fly with eagles. I never seen seagulls fly with pigeons. They separate based on their feathers. And we all know the old saying, birds of the same feather flock together. That's right. Make sure you, with your flock, you sitting in the right nest.
[00:02:42] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:02:42] Speaker C: Don't sit on the egg that don't belong.
And by the way, this is Richie Rich.
Why not you?
Oh, sorry for coming off like that. But, you know, I saw record. That's all I saw.
That's all I saw.
So do you have a question for you? I know a lot of times people do ask a question, but I do have a question for you, because when I watch podcasts or shows, always want to know what made people get started. The pandemic was definitely a push. You gotta earn your leisure wallowing, Gilly. Now who's. The brothers Cameron and Mace are now doing anything. You got a lot of them. You got Cam Newton. There's so many of them. When did you jump in? What was your reason? And what separates you from that herd? Or where do you fit in that herd?
[00:03:26] Speaker E: Yeah, well, I know a lot of those guys, man, that you just named, besides earn your leisure. I know those guys started, man. They just had a vision, and they started with their vision, and then they just kind of propelled from there. And of course they got. I mean, it's no different than Eric Thomas. You got to have, like, that strong support system, right? So you got people who are. Who have, like, the different personality sets that complement his, and they take him to a whole nother level. Yeah, man, when I started, I felt like one. It was when I was going to seminary, and I took a formation class, like a. Basically, it was a transformation formation where you really kind of focused on what your calling was, your purpose. And so during that, there was a time where we were going through a book of Psalm, man. We just read and reading, and the practice that we actually did was called Lectio Divina. And so it's like you're reading the scripture, you meditate on it. You read it again. What did you hear? You read it again. What do you think is being revealed to you?
[00:04:29] Speaker C: Yeah, come on.
For real. Right?
[00:04:33] Speaker E: So I'm going through it, and all of a sudden, boom, it just clicked. It's like evangelism. I was like, okay, and this was in 2017.
[00:04:41] Speaker C: Come on.
[00:04:42] Speaker E: And I was like, okay, what does that evangelism look like? And so that's where it actually, like, it took a long time to actually come together.
But you just think about social media nowadays. God put something in your heart to do. You already know that you want to. You got the word that, that can actually encourage people. You uplift. Uplift them.
They need to hear a voice, man, and somebody that can actually resonate or just relate to them. And so even though I got like the law, this is crazy. Part law enforcement background.
[00:05:11] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:05:12] Speaker E: Black man in seminary.
[00:05:13] Speaker C: Come on, come on. The world really don't want to see it. The world really don't want to.
So when I hear that and I think of the other media sources that we as black people only control, right? This is us, right?
You do have a niche, right? Like, we. So we're part of a group. Cat King's accountability group. First of all, that's how I know the brother. And that group has every backdrop setting of black men. Financial. Just looking for a job, right? Summer 818. Some are 60 talking about life insurance and really have generational wealth. I work every day. I'm not check to check, but I'm two checks away from being broke. You know what I mean? Like, I don't know, definatual situation. But he's at a place. He's at a place where he can be creatively free to. To build. So in life, there's food, clothes and shelter. That's man's basic need. Once that is mastered, once you know you got that secure, you could touch your creative mind. Now you picking up an instrument. Now you starting a podcast. Now you have envisions, the vision is the outcome. There's a path. The path was, I gotta buy a mic, I gotta learn how to edit, I gotta know what button to press.
[00:06:24] Speaker E: I gotta know how to set my.
[00:06:25] Speaker C: Camera up, I know I gotta the bright light, the dark, like, how do I. Everything that goes along, that's the path. Once you get your creative self and you free food, clothing, shelter, I've stepped into this arena, now I get this time and energy. Now I'm a master at it. So you hear about the master with the kung fu master, right? He's a master at this because this ain't new to him. He's so impromptu, he just see me, grab me into the podcast. Let's go.
That's a master. Now me being a high level, I very good communicator. I'm a master at Impromptu. Put me in front of something and I'll make sure the gaps are filled. That's collaboration. I'm a Muslim, he's a Christian. That's not a division, that's a, that's a strengthening. What he doesn't know about Islam. I'm here to share what I don't know about Christianity. He's going to share. You couldn't tell us the difference about it?
Why? Because you'd have to base us off our actions, deeds, and our purpose. How do we conduct our purpose? So don't let things was, like I said earlier, don't let things divide you.
[00:07:24] Speaker D: Right.
[00:07:25] Speaker C: We're more alike than we are different. I think one of the brothers from.
[00:07:27] Speaker E: Sunday said that, you know what's crazy is that when I was going, when I was actually attending Fuller, one of the classes I took was a Muslims class because I got my degree in intercultural studies. So I had an opportunity to talk with some Muslims, and, boy, you talking about light being shed on some. Yeah, yeah, right, right. And one of the things I definitely appreciated was that I had the opportunity to talk with three individuals who are basically, one of them was still a high school student. One of them have. Just two of them actually finished high school, and they were on their way to college and doing bigger and better things. But the. But the younger girl, 17. No, she was 16 at the time, living out on the east coast, connected with them through this other formation. I mean, this. This other muslim community. And they end up connecting me with these young people. And the girl said, you know, when I asked her a question, I was like, what are your. What are your dreams and goals? And who are some of the people that you look up to? And she said, person I look up to is Ava Duvernay. I said, ava Duvernay, huh? I was like, why is that? She said, because I love the content that she's creating, the documentaries.
She's showing you what America is. And she's also exploiting stuff.
[00:08:44] Speaker D: Yes.
[00:08:45] Speaker E: Right. And then she's also giving people the perspective not within the history books, but she's taking it to a whole other level. And she said, and my goal is to do the same thing and share what Muslim really is. I was like, get down.
[00:08:59] Speaker C: So even in Islam, honorably speaking, is that door closed?
Okay, just check it. So even in Islam, it's a real. It's a religion of practicing, study.
[00:09:10] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:09:11] Speaker C: So you constantly read it. That's why in this religion of focus, not discipline, focus. Having a focus on how can I come out of five prayers? I want to hurt somebody or disrespect myself.
[00:09:21] Speaker D: Right.
[00:09:21] Speaker C: How can I reach pride? And, like, right now, it's Ramadan. I'm on day 18, mouth dry. I want to eat. I can't lie. Everybody's merry, joyful around me, but I understand I'm only cheating myself if I break this fast right. Because the fast is allowing a lot to intercede for me to make a way for me before I even have to make a way and showing my worthiness to do good. You know what I mean? You got to go through some struggles. Got to give up something to really want something. Right? And that's what I was saying about podcasts. You have to give up watching a football game to learn about your life or how to adjust your mics or what's the right volume to have set up what colors we know. I took film class. You never wear all white. Never wear all black.
It's going to throw the contrast of you off. So you wear blue. Blue's the best color, right?
It's a religion of studies, so it's not a religion. Let's ask you this. Law enforcement, it's a stigma. Black man don't. Don't join the army, and black men don't be no police.
[00:10:21] Speaker D: Right?
[00:10:21] Speaker C: I'm the other way around. Yeah. I'm not saying join the army, but I also cater. We need more black police, more black law. I would rather be pulled over and you want to see and you not be on the scene.
[00:10:33] Speaker D: Right.
[00:10:33] Speaker C: Even if I'm wrong, you are not going to allow image of yourself to be treated differently in a human being.
[00:10:41] Speaker D: Right.
[00:10:42] Speaker C: You know what I mean? And I've been in situations where I'm like, my life in. On a simple traffic stop.
[00:10:48] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:10:48] Speaker C: Because they're escalating. And I'm trying to be like, here's everything you need. They're still escalating. I'm like, you know, I'm good, right? They still escalate.
[00:10:57] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:10:57] Speaker C: Short is your name. Show you how the Lawrence, right? Fringe money back. They. They still bring it up.
[00:11:02] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:11:03] Speaker C: So I'm like, yeah, you sure? I mean, and if a black hob, did I get him to look like.
Or they'll let them run it while they stand, like, nah, man, just worry. Don't worry about it. Formal as we gotta go, they're gonna at least explain it in a civilized manner, right, to keep it to where I feel confident. I love when I see a brother or sister in uniform always giving up peace, right? Because in Atlanta, where I live, police, they pull up on you playing music. Car.
Growing up in the city where the police, that was almost like Brexit over.
[00:11:45] Speaker D: Right.
[00:11:48] Speaker C: You know, so, you know, but in your journey, what makes you pursue that? And then what was some of your best experience? We only talk about the worst, but your best experience in that line, I.
[00:12:01] Speaker E: Say, well, the reason I joined was. It wasn't something that I was, like, looking to do. It sure wasn't. It was, uh. Just happened to be my neighbor at the time was a k nine. Uh, he was a k nine sergeant.
[00:12:12] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:12:13] Speaker E: And when I ended up getting laid off from, uh, the home builder I was working for when the market crashed, he was, uh, he was like, look, I know you apply with the department of Corrections. You need to check out our department.
I thought I could. Okay. Okay, cool, man. I ended up taking the test. Passed that mug by two points.
[00:12:31] Speaker C: I was like.
[00:12:37] Speaker E: So then they hit me up, you know, with the academy. They were like, okay, the academy is ten and a half months. You had to give up every Saturday.
And I was like, I'm cool. Cause I really wanted to go to the day one, dude. I thought about it, and I was like, ten and a half months gonna go by anyway, and I ain't gonna be the only one. I called him back, like, I'm good to go. I'm in. I'm in. And so from there, man, just. It's all about, like, one just being humble, being eager to learn, being able to build relationships with people and then taking care of. But, I mean, you go in there, I remember the first thing they said. He said, if you're a jerk coming in, you're gonna be a bigger jerk when you come out.
[00:13:18] Speaker D: Right?
[00:13:18] Speaker E: For real.
[00:13:19] Speaker C: You got it.
[00:13:20] Speaker D: You got it.
[00:13:20] Speaker E: You got it. And so I know one of the things that they're doing right now is changing the age because they want some people with experience, but at the same time, you got some young cats coming in, 21, 23, 24 years old. We kind of. You go to domestic violence call, they don't know what to do, right? And so. And I get it. I think one of the biggest frustrations for me was when the George Floyd stuff went down. And then, you know, us having to go out there and kind of protect the jail, so to speak, because we had a lot of looters, riders coming up. And, man, that was.
It was sad to see because there was so many african american youth out there talking trash, talking trash. And I was like, y'all have no clue what y'all talking. And it's like, even if they see you, like, because there's a few blacks on the department, they see you. They saw us, man, on the skirmish line. They were like, your parents would be disgusted if they knew what y'all was doing. That kind of.
[00:14:19] Speaker D: They don't.
[00:14:19] Speaker E: They don't know.
[00:14:20] Speaker C: They don't know.
[00:14:20] Speaker E: And I'm like, your parents need to teach you a lesson about protest, because.
[00:14:25] Speaker C: If you knew a little bit of.
[00:14:27] Speaker E: Something about me and my folks went, dude, they from Louisiana. Yeah, right.
[00:14:32] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:14:35] Speaker E: You don't know.
[00:14:36] Speaker C: So I don't want. I don't want to run all over the place where my man's podcast. You gotta know that. But I will say we just kind of having man, common conversations. If you met a man in a. A Starbucks, in the passing, this is a conversation you can engage in. You don't have to be scripted or an agenda. Those are nice, but this is impromptu. This is just two brothers ain't seen each other while we probably always want to have, but it's done. So I don't know your demographics and I don't know your viewership. So I'll talk to 18 and I'll talk to 60. How about that?
When I say six, your grandparents. So I'm in the trades, right? I'm a steam fitter. It's a plumber who deals with industrial pipe. I don't deal with domestic water or potable water, wastewater. I deal with steam.
Big buildings. I keep big buildings alive. Manufacturing type pipe, I didn't get into that till I was 28, 29 years old. That means between then and 18, I did not know what I was doing. I was taking jobs. I didn't have a career. I didn't even know when I got into Steven Fitters Union what I was getting into, but I was driving, see, MIT trucks. That's where everybody by hood came from. My jail troll cement trucks. So I'm like, I'm gonna do what the jail dudes did. I didn't go to jail, but that was my homies. They got on, put me on. You normally do what your options are in your environment. So if it would have been cool in my environment to be a police officer or in law enforcement, I would have did that. By now, we'll be retired, probably making 75% to 85% of what my yearly high year was. Police officer has the ability to guard the mayor, the police officer, not always on the beat. You could be a detective. You can graduate. You don't have to just be with the badge and then the black and white. It's other. You go into forensics. It's so many other details. I'm glad you didn't go into correctional, because being in prison, free or incarcerated, I'm not telling you from the spin. I'm just going to visit and having a little 45 minutes business ain't no fuck, but I think our youth need to know, being in law enforcement is a plus plus, not just for you before your community, not for your community today, but the generations behind who see you doing it. Because when you meet a black man or a black woman, that's an officer, and they uphold still black. They doing a job, but they still black. They have an understanding. Because I ain't gonna say no. I ain't gonna say it on your show. Other people, when they jam up the twelve year old shoplifter, they take them home. When they catch the bad children vandalizing the bus or something, they take them home. When they catch our little children, they arrested. But if my brother catches you, you got opportunity getting taken home or taken back to school. You don't have to fill the bracelets. It might be like, we gonna stay here till we call an adult who could validate who you are, come to get you. And I'll explain to that adult, if it wasn't me, they'll be going to jail. You might want to have a real talk with them. So that's why I will hold more people. Take this small conversation. And if you're not going to be a police officer, get in a trade. Ged, high school diploma, no license necessary, criminal background, don't matter long as you can pass basic math, some basic literary kind of common sense. Things they don't want you to know. The trade sheet rock, plumber, electrician, carpenter, painter, landscaper, mudder, cement worker, crane operators. Just a whole bunch of stuff. So many. And they averaging my union. Yeah, right now makes $85 an hour. And by five years from now, to be making 99 an hour. I work for the city, so we take a little less because public service, $85 an hour, that's a journeyman. That's five years of school, two days a week. You coming in as an apprentice, you make 45% of $85. That means you come in at $38, not knowing nothing.
[00:18:33] Speaker D: Nothing.
[00:18:33] Speaker C: 18 years old. So parents, don't push college, don't waste your money, don't push none of that. Go pick them tools up, son.
[00:18:42] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:18:42] Speaker C: And women, y'all in the trade last month or this month, march is women in the trades. It's women's month, and they highlight women in the trades. And women are in everything, so don't feel like you don't belong. Even if I was only black in my trade when I first got in, just in my group, but after me, I made it cool. I'm pulling up in old schools on gold once, beating out. I'm still talking like me. Walk, walk like me. But I know how to read the tape measure. I know how to say, yes, I got it. I know how to move quick. You can't be dilly dabbling. You can't be move it slow. You gotta be like, you want that money. Same way you risk your freedom and your livelihood stealing any stores and bipping cars. Ours is guaranteed 140 year minimum is dues. I think my best year, I made 250 when I built a chase center and two house, two hospitals. I went to 25 one year, 215 the next year, and 250 the next. Then I went to the city. I made almost three quarters of a million dollars. Didn't hurt nobody.
Paid every week.
Still here. Tell on nobody.
That's big pain. They tell it, thank you. Criminals getting away with it, they telling. But I just had to share that. Because black men should always talk about what we do for a living. Because other people who are doctors and lawyers, they groom doctors and lawyers.
[00:20:00] Speaker D: That's right.
[00:20:01] Speaker C: We take any job because we need to work. But once you start knowing other people do other things, let's talk about it. I'll tell you a job that's super cool. When I drove cement trucks, it's a person called the batch man. He averages $200,000 a year.
See? Mitchell pulls up under the side silo to get loaded.
[00:20:18] Speaker D: Uh huh.
[00:20:18] Speaker C: He puts a code in what you're talking about. Puts the code into the mix. How much water, how much gravel, how much cement, how much, how much fly ash? Press the button. $200,000 a year. New boat, new house. Always got great looking wives.
They always related to somebody because it's an exposure.
[00:20:37] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:20:37] Speaker C: They don't advertise that on Craig? On Craigslist, yeah. You don't find that job at your community career center, you gotta know what to go and ask for. So I'm giving up the game, y'all. I'm talking to you like they talking these closed door meets look. So I got.
[00:20:53] Speaker E: So one of the things I definitely want to talk to you about, because I know a lot of people just think that life is a game.
[00:20:58] Speaker C: No, no.
[00:20:59] Speaker E: They just think life is a game. Like, oh, I'll be here tomorrow. Oh, I'll wait. I'll wait till next week to do such and such. When it's on their mind, it's on their hearts right now to do it. But for whatever reason, they procrastinate doing it.
[00:21:11] Speaker C: So it's two things, a man and a woman. An adult should always remember, you have no time. But right now, there's no such thing as tomorrow. Cause we ain't made it there. You know, tomorrow is a prayer. You know, ain't no tomorrow. It's right now. So we was on a call Sunday. We on a sun Sunday call.
I'm driving on some back roads near Stockton and come around the corner by the recology landfill. It's a prison I didn't know of. And things like that catch me on guard, and they grab my heart when I see a prison, because they don't have no more time. Let me tell you what it is to be in jail. And I've never spent more than a few hours. I don't break laws that I can't beat. Let's break that lawyer up, buddy. It's important. Public defender ain't gonna get you home. Freedom. Few dollars, though. But let me just say that when you in jail, it's a living graveyard. You can't do nothing. You can write all the books. You could, you know, try to talk to children through the phone and all the jaws calls, but they have such a grip on you. You can never touch me. You can never guide me personally. So look at the graveyards. Walk a cemetery where they look at the ages, look at date of birth, date of death. Let that be a reality check. Some people's born after you, they die before you, and you wasting time that they wish they could trade. When you talk to a lifer in jail and you smoking, it might be your partner with an ill. You smoke and you ain't doing nothing. 02:00 a.m. Or 02:00 p.m. You just did. Not in mom's house.
He wish he could trade places. If he did, he would be like, I ain't rocking with y'all no more. I ain't doing that no more. I just tell you that because those who've been shot, those who just got out, if it was that cool, you'll get in front of more bullets. You try to get right back in jail, but I ain't never seen body get released. Turn back around, run back in there. They come and play and still be immature and childish and want to prove something to somebody else. Don't waste time, man. You want to do podcasting, do it. Start with the phone. Me and my daughter started a podcast doing it just with a phone, just to entertain ourselves.
[00:23:18] Speaker D: There you go.
[00:23:19] Speaker C: You know, we were listening on your leisure. Yeah, free app. It's on my phone, too. I'll show. I'll tell you what it is in a minute, but pillow and blanket show, that's the name of the show. We all did it in over two years, but it's still. Still there. That's right, because it's recorded in history, even all day. My great grandchildren pulled us up. These great great grandchildren pulled us up. See him and hear him. We live in a time where we can live forever. So think of like this. I'm gonna name some artists, music artists. Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley.
Stevie, the only one alive. Their music is still relevant to this day. They ain't recorded the song in 40, 50 years. Yin Yang twins.
Little scrappy, and we'll grab somebody out the barrier. Uh, be respectful, Spice Boy. Sorry. Sorry, Spice.
Their music won't last beyond the summer that they put it out. Yeah, I wear the Yin yang twins. I don't even know any play it on the radio. But I can hear a Bob Marley song. I can hear Marvin Gaye song. I can hear Steve Wonder song is still relevant today.
[00:24:31] Speaker D: That's it.
[00:24:31] Speaker C: So in the month of ramen, I'm on day 18. My voice is already rasping down. My mouth is dry. But the reading today was the believer, and what I got out of it was, the believer is my love is real. How can you believe anything and not be real? If you believe it, if you believe whatever you believe, then it's real to you. So belief is the belief of something unseen, something to come, something that you believe is there. That knowing you can't prove is there. You just believe it. So if you believe that, you should be who you want to be, and you got a mission and you got a purpose. You was born, and your mama went through nine months of labor to produce this life that only God could give. The woman body is the God's laboratory. So don't just be abusing them. Sisters, be mindful. That's the laboratory. You don't even create it. God just use you as a vessel, and he do all the work. He creates the eyes, the hands, the fingers and nose. He pushes through. You can't make you have a baby. He makes the baby come with his time, and when he comes, it's complete.
[00:25:31] Speaker D: Right?
[00:25:33] Speaker C: That's the believer. God is a believer, and he believes. So real. His love is real. Any guy we call his love is real. Thrilled to the fact that he manifested us 53 years ago. How many years?
[00:25:46] Speaker E: 53.
[00:25:47] Speaker C: And look at us now. We was that laboratory thing. Specimen, whatever you want to call it, right? We was a specimen, and look at us now. I've done great things. He had to. We have more to live, but don't waste time y'all don't. I mean, every second, don't do it. I tell people, give yourself 15 minutes every day to start something and stick to that 15 minutes. Grow it to a half hour. Grow it to an hour. Before you know it, you consume you all day. You ain't even it. You just focused on what it is you want to do. Think of playing a musical and instrument. I always tell people that, yeah, I play the clarinet, kind of.
I bought one, taught myself g on you on YouTube. I could play g really well. Then I started, like, investing more time. Clarinet. Now I can hit a few notes. You know, I hit a few notes from comfortable to embarrass myself in front of some people, you know, so they're like, oh, you suck. But I'm like, I'm better than what I was.
[00:26:46] Speaker D: That's right.
[00:26:46] Speaker C: Gave myself 15 minutes every night.
[00:26:48] Speaker D: That's it. Yeah.
[00:26:49] Speaker C: So I got to a half hour.
I stopped at half, but I got there.
[00:26:56] Speaker E: And that's the key right there. Investing. Investing in yourself. Yes, invest in yourself. All it takes is 15 minutes. Then that 15 minutes gonna turn into 2030, and then an hour. And the thing is, you can't.
It's one of the things that I just love about when it comes, like, personal development. And you want to help other people. You cannot give anybody what you don't have. So if you don't invest in yourself, what do you have to offer?
[00:27:21] Speaker C: What they say on the flight, put your oxygen mask on first, and then your child or your wife or your brother, your sister, and your mother will put yours on first.
Because if you the strong one who could reach it and you're not strong enough, how you gonna help them? And then you lose strength and they can't help you or nobody else.
[00:27:39] Speaker D: Right.
[00:27:40] Speaker C: So, yeah, man. Yes, yes, yes.
[00:27:42] Speaker D: That's it.
[00:27:42] Speaker C: We say, too, we have to as men, as people always do this and the camera don't have to be on, y'all know, do it for the gram. Right, right. Just speak to people.
[00:27:53] Speaker D: Right.
[00:27:54] Speaker C: Treat people the way you want to be treated. That was really. That's the only commandment I ever followed, because that. That feels all the ten.
[00:28:01] Speaker D: It does.
[00:28:02] Speaker C: Treat people how you want to be doing others much down onto yourself. If that's the case, I ain't got to steal from you.
[00:28:07] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:28:07] Speaker C: I won't sleep with your wife. I won't lie on you.
[00:28:10] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:28:10] Speaker C: I won't raise. I won't.
I'm always treat you like it's me.

[00:28:19] Speaker C: Do on others what's done in yourself. So be mindful. How you do people.
Be mindful because the energy is always there.
