00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,000

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,000
Welcome.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000
To not

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
just music.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Where we keep it real

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
and honest.

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Always.

9
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
How I really feel.

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,000
My mama praying telling me Q

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
you need to chill.

12
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
They can't respect the truth from just

13
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
What's going on everybody it's your boy

14
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,000
Dwan Burino from not just music

15
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,000
podcast.

16
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
And this is our new

17
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
segment called From the

18
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Bottom. From the Bottom

19
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
has a lot of meanings

20
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
that it can take.

21
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
And

22
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
one could come up with on their

23
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
own from the bottom but

24
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
the from the bottom that we're speaking from

25
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
is from a very

26
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
big standpoint of being

27
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
at the bottom.

28
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Like you might be

29
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
you might be

30
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
running.

31
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
You know this might be your first time

32
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
starting to exercise. You might be

33
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
running. You might be walking.

34
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Up the sidewalk. You might be on a treadmill

35
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
right now.

36
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
It could even be something as

37
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
if in you know

38
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
your your health is

39
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
is depleted.

40
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
You know

41
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
you're hanging on by a thread

42
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
right now literally.

43
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Sometimes I know it's like

44
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
what can you do

45
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
when it's like

46
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
if it's a life

47
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
changing altering

48
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
moment.

49
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
What are you going to do?

50
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Are you going to let that situation like beat

51
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
you up? You know are you going to like

52
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
sit there in sorrow?

53
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Be sad? Whatever.

54
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Or are you going to like really be a stand

55
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
up individual? Are you going to take charge?

56
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Are you just going to you know are you going to

57
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
stand up on top of

58
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,000
that thing and be like you know what I'm going to beat this?

59
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
I'm going to beat it.

60
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
I mean even if it's like a thing of like

61
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
death. If you're like

62
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
you got to realize dying is not

63
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
a bad thing.

64
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
The odor I've gotten I can understand

65
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
that's a journey that

66
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
we're all going to have

67
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000
to take. Everybody's going to have to die.

68
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
But there's pride in

69
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
everything. There is good

70
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
good

71
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
good in everything.

72
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
There's excellence

73
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
in everything even in your worst

74
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
moments.

75
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Even in your worst moments.

76
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Like a lot of people may take

77
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
it may take time

78
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
to sink in.

79
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
It may take

80
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
a life

81
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
changing situation for it to sink

82
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
in.

83
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
I mean it's going to happen.

84
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
It's going to happen.

85
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Like I looked at a moment when

86
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
just recently for the

87
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
past two years I've been dealing with something with my

88
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
skin with my

89
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
with my face.

90
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
I used to you know

91
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
used to have a whole full beard.

92
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
You know it was I felt

93
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
like I had the perfect beard. It was

94
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
like it had

95
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
grown and then

96
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000
out of nowhere boom.

97
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
I hit this

98
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
roadblock and then my skin just literally

99
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
my face

100
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
just like literally literally

101
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
shedded all

102
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
it's skin.

103
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Wherever my hair wherever my facial hair

104
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
was it was

105
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
gone.

106
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
No hair.

107
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
And I had to deal with this

108
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
for two years.

109
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
But

110
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
finally

111
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
as of

112
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
at the end of 2023

113
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
officially my skin

114
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
finally is almost

115
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
completely healed.

116
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Realistic moment.

117
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
You know.

118
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
But I didn't let

119
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
being at the bottom

120
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
hold me back from

121
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
anything

122
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
that I was trying to achieve.

123
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Like even starting

124
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000
this podcast. I started this podcast

125
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
in the midst of

126
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
not even knowing what my skin was

127
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
getting ready to do. And the crazy part was

128
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
is like I had to be prepared

129
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
to sit in front of cameras and do all of this

130
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
stuff and try to continue

131
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
life as you know

132
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
as it's supposed to be.

133
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
But I know sometimes people will see me hiding

134
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
you know I hide behind masks a lot.

135
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
But at the same time

136
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
like

137
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
it really made

138
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
me feel a certain way about

139
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
myself.

140
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
But thank God for family.

141
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Thank God for my significance.

142
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Thank God for all of those

143
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
times when I felt like

144
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
you know I just wish I could

145
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
push a button and all of this

146
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
just go away.

147
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
But it kind of gave me

148
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
it put me in a very humbling situation

149
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
at the same time.

150
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
You know it helped me realize

151
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
you really can be at the bottom

152
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
and be on top of everything

153
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
else.

154
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
And still have to deal

155
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
with both of them at the same time.

156
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Like literally you could be at the bottom

157
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
and still be having to manage life.

158
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
You still have to get up, go

159
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
every single day. Take care of your kids.

160
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Take care of your family. Make sure

161
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
everybody's straight as in every single

162
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
day. But you're still battling

163
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
that thing that you're going through.

164
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Seriously.

165
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Seriously. I think I heard Tim Ross

166
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
and Mike Todd talk about

167
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
this. You know it was like one of those

168
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
situations of you literally

169
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
can be right in your success

170
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
and still basically

171
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
be carrying all

172
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
of the weight that you already

173
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
had. Meaning

174
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
you can

175
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
don't expect to be

176
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
great.

177
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
You know you can be

178
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000
great

179
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
without dealing

180
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
with all of the

181
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
things that you have already been

182
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
dealt.

183
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
You might as well

184
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
keep working. Keep going. Keep moving.

185
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Keep moving.

186
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Because the thing is

187
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
just learn

188
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
to...that's what I'm basically saying.

189
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
When you're at the bottom

190
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
you really have to learn

191
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
that it's a mentality that

192
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
you have to have.

193
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
It's not the money that you have to have. It's the

194
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
mentality that you have to have. If you're not

195
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
willing to have that mentality

196
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
to go, God has already

197
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
given you the strength.

198
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
The biggest gift you already have is

199
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
you're waking up every day. Even

200
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
if you wake up in that situation where you're

201
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
sleeping in your car, whether you're

202
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
sleeping outside somewhere

203
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
in a shelter,

204
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
wherever you're at, at the bottom,

205
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
that's the gift you get

206
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
every day from God.

207
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
You're looking for that monetary value,

208
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
that money value,

209
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
more so than anything, yes, but at the

210
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000
same time you can't

211
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
go get the money until you wake

212
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
up.

213
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
So a lot of this stuff that we go through

214
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
daily with our mentalities, you know,

215
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
we really have to do

216
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
better.

217
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
That's the first

218
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
thing. We have to learn to be happy.

219
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Get up, be happy,

220
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
like, you know, that's the rejoiceful

221
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
thing that you can do. Because with a good

222
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
mentality, with a good head on your shoulders when you get

223
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
up from

224
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
resting because what happened yesterday is

225
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
gone once you go to sleep on yesterday

226
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
and wake up. It's a new day.

227
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
A whole new day.

228
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
A whole new 24 hours.

229
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
You might already halfway be

230
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
into a 24, or a

231
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
good quarter or tenth of a way into it

232
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
when you wake up, but at the same time

233
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
you had that opportunity, you had that chance.

234
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
So the biggest

235
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
thing is, I'm

236
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
saying, and this is just

237
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
introducing this segment from

238
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
the bottom, I gave you an open

239
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
moment for me

240
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
and I'll give you more open moments like

241
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
this.

242
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
But the biggest thing is, is

243
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
you have to own up to the situation where you're

244
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
at. You can't allow a situation

245
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
to like really stop you.

246
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Even if you have to ask for help. That's

247
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
really one of the biggest things too. Ask for help.

248
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Don't be scared to ask for help. If you're

249
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
scared to ask for help, you're never going to get

250
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
there.

251
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Never gonna get there.

252
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
So,

253
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
like I said,

254
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000
if you're listening to this right now, just

255
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000
remember, you're not at the bottom

256
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
alone.

257
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Listen to what I'm saying.

258
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
You are not at the bottom alone.

259
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Somebody is willing to

260
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
listen, somebody is willing to talk.

261
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000

Alright?

275
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
And again, this is just an introduction and I hope

276
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
somebody can feel inspired

277
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
by it. Somebody can, you know,

278
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
pass it on

279
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
to somebody that would need this.

280
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
At the end of the day, it's about helping people.

281
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
You know, a lot of us

282
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
is right, you know, a lot of us are at the bottom.

283
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Even though we have many, but still, a lot of us

284
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
are still at the bottom.

285
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000
So again,

286
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
keep that good mentality. You know, keep that

287
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
good vibe. You know,

288
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
remain happy. You know, even if

289
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
it's hard to be, you know,

290
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
if it's hard to smile, I get it, I understand.

291
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
You know, if you have to cry, cry.

292
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Get that cry out. But just remember, at the end of

293
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
that cry, you should rejoice.

294
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Rejoice. You made it through that

295
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
moment. You made it through that hurt. You made it

296
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
through that pain. You know, rejoice. Be

297
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
happy about it. Alright?

298
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Love.
