Remote Work & The Real Cost of Having No Routine | FYM Show

And we're back with another episode of the FYM Show with Ty and Yo. That's my man Ty.

Yo.

I'm Yo. And if you ever heard of the FYM Show, if you're a first-time listener, you know that this is a show about wellness. Right. And when you consider wellness, wellness appears in all aspects of your life, in your work life, in your relationship life, in your family life. And something that I think about oftentimes is about 2016, 2017, me and my brother, we moved into an apartment together, right? And I had just got my first job writing full-time, right? So I'm working from home. And his friends would come over. And they would be like, yo, when you go to work? I was like, I work from home. You know, it's 2015, 2016. Remote work really wasn't like a thing. Ty, they didn't really care what I was doing. They was like, you work from home? Bro, like, so you don't gotta go nowhere? You don't gotta see nobody? It's like, they didn't care that I was interviewing rappers or writing reviews. It was like, you don't gotta leave your house to work. And I always think about that as like, this perk that has kind of became something that is a lot more consistent in a lot of people's lives now is work from home, right? Remote work is way more common in 2026 than it was in 2016. And I, and I want to ask you, Ty, like, how do you think that affects the idea of wellness in your workspace when you don't have to leave home to work?

Um, I think on the surface level It's like, oh, this is great. I get time back. I get this. I get that, right? But in actuality, a lot of the time when we have like obvious things, we don't create new routines or routines that's going to actually help us, you know, like understand what that means for you as an employee. And what I mean by it is like if you worked in a Uh, uh, uh, uh, office for 40 hours a week for the majority of your career making a living, and then you get this new role that allows you the freedom to just work from anywhere where you got Wi-Fi, and you decide that, well, you know, I, I really enjoy my space, I really enjoy my house, I'm just gonna work from here. And I don't think over— I think over time People lose track of what that routine looks like. So the thought process of saving and controlling your time because you don't have to be in rush hour traffic to get to work, right? You don't have to technically plan. You don't have to worry about lunch breaks the same way, right?

Mm-hmm.

Then, you know, your days, your hours of work and the supervision of you You know, if you're supposed to be working 8 hours a day, you can just get your work done in like 5 hours and then you can go and do other things as long as you are, you know, hitting the marks that your superiors have for you, right? So, but I think what people kind of have a blind spot on is that no matter what you're doing, you need to have a routine. So if you're working from home, Still get up, still go to the gym. You know, now when you go to the gym, you can say, you know what, I'm just gonna go for a walk around the block. Or the gym to my house is so close, I can get to the gym, work out, and be back home. And that is my 25-minute commute for the day. I don't even got to get back into the— and get back into any of those different things. You can pre-plan Food deliveries, you can pre-plan, you know, your, your, your meal prepping. You can pre-plan your sleeping, your family time, all of these different things because you save so much time not having to commute to work. Right?

Yeah. Yeah. But tell, but tell me, Ty, why do you think, although it sounds pretty simple, right? You make it sound like everything is way more accessible for you to kind of create this type of schedule. Why do you think it's kind of hard though?

What makes it difficult, because there's no real supervision, you know, people are actually afraid of getting caught doing something at their job that their boss will fire them for, right? So they're afraid to take a quick nap because they can get rolled up. They're afraid to be on their lunchtime a little bit too longer. So walking into a building automatically gives you a routine and a structure. You know what you can't do, what you can do.

Yeah.

You know, if you don't got your badge, you can't get into the office. Like, there are just certain rules and regulations that prompt you when you walk into another building that you don't own and you don't pay rent for. So I think that that's the—

Mm-hmm.

That is the part that they lose. We all lose that when we're working from home because now there is no real supervision. You know what I'm saying? Like, how your boss really gonna know that you didn't work 8 hours. Even if you got a time system that you clock in online, it's like, how do they really know unless they give you a device, a company-issued device where they can track your logging in, your, your cameras, and you work, and it's a program that kind of like reports that out. But if you're working off your personal devices, Yeah. You're kind of left down to your personal devices, you know what I'm saying? So like, you have to be disciplined to know, okay, my workload is really heavy Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. So on Mondays, I'm gonna do a really, really heavy prep day to get ready for my meetings and my calls and all those things that's going to come in Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, right?

Yeah.

I'm going to, you know, I'm supposed to be on the clock by 9 AM local time working. And then I get off at, you know, 6 PM or 5 PM, whatever the case might be. I'm gonna actually plan a lunch. I'm not gonna just be snacking throughout the day because I'm at home. I can just walk to my— no, I'm gonna actually plan a proper lunch. Some people even go to the point where they get dressed, they get fully blown, you know, makeup, everything, and then they go and sit in their living room and turn on their computer and lock in those different aspects of it.

Mm-hmm.

And I think that what, what helps with that, it gives you a more healthy healthier approach to work-life balance. And I, and I really do think that it helps you with your mental health, um, because there's multiple, multiple studies out now.

Okay.

That wasn't out in 2021 that talks about the mental drainage and the effects of working at home versus working at the, at an office or even having a hybrid role because you got a lot of people who are lonely, who are introverts, who got these jobs where they're working at home and they might be living by themselves. So that means that there's nobody in their house regardless.

Mm-hmm.

Then they're working long hours because they're trying to make up for, you know, whatever quote unquote lost time, uh, to get these assignments done. So now they can look up and if they buy, let's say they buy groceries, You know, they bought groceries at the, you know, um, beginning of the week and they meal prep. They don't even got to go and order anything from a food perspective or none of those different things, you know what I'm saying? And so what ends up happening is they never truly have to interact with people, you know what I'm saying? So there is no—

So you, you lose that interaction.

could create a routine of you not seeing humans. So your routine just can't be about doing the same thing every day. Your routine has to incorporate moments that you're going to actually go out and interact with humans and have a better time management element for what you're doing, you know.

Now, is it possible that some people aren't really equipped to build that type of structure for themselves.

Yeah.

Like they need an office.

Yeah, I think that people should also be real with themselves, which is a difficult thing. We as humans, we are biased to our weaknesses or our strengths, and we lean away from our weaknesses. So we won't really admit like, hey, I'm not that disciplined, I need to be in the office. But then you have some people that's like, yo, I thrive in the office situation because If you leave me by myself, I, I won't get as much work done. Some people are that self-aware, but a lot of people are, are doing a lot of self-fulfilling prophecies where they're not being honest with themselves and they're leaning towards the things that makes them shine and makes them seem like they don't have any flaws. But the truth of the matter is you need a routine.

Mm-hmm.

Now I've been working remotely you know, since 2018, since May 2018.

Mm-hmm.

Really 2016, but I had a seasonal job that I had to go into an actual building. But as of May 2018, I've been working remote. And so when we start thinking about, you know, a lot of the different elements of things, I have— I had to incorporate something that will pull me out of work. Rather that was working out, rather that was, you know, going to the studio, rather that was— now that's golfing. So like, it pulls me out of work to give me a routine so that I won't spend 10 hours, 11 hours a day so-called working.

Right.

But really, truly, I wasn't as productive as if I was when I had an actual routine where it's like this person, you get, you get supervision, you have to have this meeting done, that thing done, all of these different elements.

Now, now, before you started remote work, were you aware that you might need these things?

No.

That you were able to make that transition?

No, I didn't have enough experience to be like aware. that I'm going to probably fall short with those different things. But for me, I was always a self-starter. And, and being lonely didn't trigger my mental health to feel less than. Because when we were— when I was first like doing all of the work, trying to figure out how to build an audience for the clients I was working with, Mm-hmm. I would be in LA from, let's just say, January 2026 to mid-May 2026 in my studio apartment trying to figure out how to get people to listen to the music more, right? Then I would have to go to my seasonal job that would last June, July, pretty much half of August, if not all of August. And then when September come, September, October, November, I'm back in this isolation, right? So if you was to ask me, how many times did you see your mom? How many times did you kick out with you, hang out with your family? You know, what was the things you was doing during that time frame? It'd be very hard for me to to give you some kind of like um game plan on that, bro, because I spent so much time by myself. At the stu— at the— at my studio apartment trying to figure something out, right? And then when, when Brent wasn't staying with me anymore and when he had his own spot, now I'm by myself for real. There's nobody there that's like for me to be like, yo, so I figured this one thing out. I need you to be, um, I need you to think about this. And I have somebody to bounce something off of. when he had his own spot. Now I'm by myself, not having nobody to bounce nothing off of. And now it's like 2000, summer 2017, fall 2017. But now, you know, a lot of things are starting to move and you get more, you know, emails coming through and all of these different elements. So for me, the routine was like very, very key for me 'cause I was a self-starter. But most people struggle with self-starting. That's why most people are not that successful with starting a business. Yeah. truly need infrastructure. Like, we all need it, but some people need it more than others.

Now, could you tell you felt differently between the time you were actually going to work, going into a job, versus that time you spent by yourself? Could you—

did you feel different? I didn't feel differently within myself. I just would feel differently based on how other humans would interact with me. So when I was working at Delta, And Delta was great. Like when I say Delta is probably one of the easiest jobs I had because they operated everything off of time. So if weather delayed the flight, I didn't have to work extra hours because the flight got delayed. I still work my same 8-hour shift. And if the flight got delayed past, you know, 6 PM, the time I got off, or 3 PM, I still go off work. They don't drag me along, right? It was more so about the people complaining about the job when the job was just so easy. It's like, what are we complaining? What are y'all talking about? This job is sweet, lit. I've had hard jobs. This is not a hard job. And what it would do was it would make me feel more appreciative of like what came with the overall job. Because I would be like, I'm not trying to make no friends with none of these people because they complain so much. I'm just trying to come in, do my job. Not be rude, so I can get back to the thing that I'm pursuing. You know what I'm saying? So when I got off of work, I would go to the computer. I'm in Atlanta at this point. I go, I have to fly back to Atlanta to go do the job. I'm back on the computer trying to figure out the same things I was trying to figure out when I was in LA. You know what I'm saying?

Mm-hmm. I guess you can't really say for sure, but When things start really working out, did that make you feel like, okay, I have the discipline set up already, right? I know what I'm pursuing. So that makes me feel good about this thing that I'm chasing. Because sometimes I feel like when you're chasing a thing, especially as a business owner and entrepreneur, without the results, you don't really know if you're going the right direction. You don't know if you really got the right routine, you know? So like, what do you say to somebody that hasn't got the results yet, but they feel like they're, they're really trying to build this thing?

Well, I'm a firm believer in creating an environment that can, that can design and grow results regardless what the results are, right? When you work at a place, you got to drive to that place right now. It should make it easier for you to go work out after work because you don't have to climb out of the bed after being home for like in your pajamas working out, working for 7 hours, right? What I found for me is that everything that I did in my life, I would get results. Now, that doesn't mean that I would have 15 successful businesses.

Right.

But like when I was working at Delta, I would get off work and I would go kickbox or I would go box, right? So while I'm trying to get results on the music side, I was also getting— trying to get results with my body and my fitness, right?

Mm-hmm.

Then once the seasonal role is over with, now I'm trying to figure out my financial aspect of things. The less amount of money I spent or the less amount of things that I had residual payments on, like a car note, I would get results by being able to have that extra money to invest it into my company, right? So I look at results as an attraction mechanism. Like, if I want results in my business, I need to find how to get results somewhere else. Because the result is the same thing, no matter where you place it at, right? If I want to make $10, and I got a dollar in my— and if I do what I— if I put the money somewhere and that $10, that dollar makes $10, that's a result. If I want to gain 5 pounds of muscle from— I want to go from 145 to 150, but in muscle, that gain is a result, right? If I want to be better at managing my time and I say, okay, I'm gonna work from 7 to 11, and then from, uh, 11 to 12, I'm gonna do a real lunch. Me doing that consistently every single day, that is a result. if I wasn't doing it before. So I looked at all of these different aspects of things. Is if you want to make money, just get a job. It'll— you will attract the money. It don't matter if you're working at McDonald's, it don't matter what, just go get a job because it'll put your mind, it'll put your action, it'll put your routine in to start being able— I know you've heard that, that slogan, it's easy to get a job when you already got one. Right versus versus quitting the job, not having no option, then trying to go out and get a job. No, it's easy to get that job. So it's easy to get results in other places when you get results in other places. In my in my experience, so like when I think about working remotely and me trying to get results, I was trying to get results in different places in my of my life. So if I if I wanted to wake up every day to a clean apartment, and that was my goal. My result was a clean apartment. My goal was to clean up every day before I started working. So if I need to get up, if I start my workday at 8, I need to get up at 6 to go work out. And then when I finish working out, I come home, shower, and then I clean up my space. Then I start work at 8, right? Doing that consistently, that is a result that I was, that I was designing and building because I wanted to attract other results.

Mm-hmm.

Rather that was in business, rather that was in companionship, rather that was in, you know, education, learning. I always just, I put all of it together. It didn't really— making $1 million as a result was no different than reading 500 pages in a book as a result. To me, all of it was the same. mechanism. So it's almost like driving a bike versus driving a car. It was the same mechanism. I had brakes, had acceleration, had a seat, had safety.

Yeah.

So, so when I, when I would think about routines and results, it don't matter where the result will come from. I just know I need to get results to be able to build out those different aspects of things. So I think When people are not having routines and they're at their job and they're unhappy about their job, I think they lack the understanding of like the deeper layer of success. And success is built around things aligning. When people say things align, I say grace and God and blessings.

Mm-hmm.

And then your, your, your muscles, your mental muscles of routine. Right? What are you doing? What results are you getting?

Mm-hmm.

Right? Are you getting results by being healthy? Because then those results can spill over into you having a healthy bank account, right? Those results can spit over to you having a healthy relationship with your mother, having a healthy relationship with your significant other. Like, what are those routine things that you can do that create a result? that can spill over in other parts of your life. And so that's how I've always viewed when I had to go into a regular job. No matter if that was Target, no matter if that was Delta, no matter if that was Costco, no matter if that was UPS. Well, UPS is a little earlier. I didn't have the mindset because I was in high school. But I would probably say Target and Delta was probably the most that I was kind of like zeroed in on trying to figure out because with Target— Right.

Mm-hmm.

I would use Target as a way to do release events with artists. And so I would go and find artists and try to get them to come to the Target and do signings and autograph signings with their fans without it costing Target. But then with Delta, I would use my flight benefits, you know, to go travel and meet new people and try to see if I can be a benefit for my clients, but just probably be in the right place at the right time. But all of these things were these routines that I was building out and results.

That kind of fed everything. It fed everything. It wasn't just like, okay, I'm doing this separately from doing that. It all feeds the same.

Yeah, I wasn't— when I had a financial goal, I also had other goals that I want results for because they all, to me, they all run in the same crew. You can't— I mean, you can have a healthy body and a healthy mind and then be broke.

You can.

But there's a, there's a lot of data that shows—

I like that.

That high-performing, successful people work out, they eat healthy. Those results, they do affect how financially successful you are. Now, are you being mindful of what you're doing with the money afterward, that's another result. And you can mess everything up by having a bad result there. Where you having great results in the gym, great results at work, you're getting bonuses, you're getting raises, and then you crashing out by having bad results on how you manage your resources and your money specifically.

That's real. I guess my, my next question is though, where in the process do you think you really start to understand that everything kind of works together? Was it like when you were playing football, you kind of understood that in terms of like working out, playing the game, or did it come afterwards once you started working and you started to kind of see results across the board that everything is kind of equal in a sense? You don't gotta separate things? Because I do agree with you. I think people sometimes think about like, my fitness goals and my financial goals are separate, right? So you're at like, you're pulling 2 different, you know what I'm saying, things versus understanding that we're all working together toward the same thing, even if they're different things.

Yeah, man. I, I want to say football definitely gave me some understanding because in order for me to score a touchdown, which is a result, The, the backside tackle had to make sure that they do their assignment, which is kick out the end, the defensive end, which is a result. The center has to make sure that they snap the ball to the quarterback and not fumble the ball, which is a result. And the quarterback gotta make sure that they know the assignment and where to tell everybody to go, which is a result. So, and if you do all of those things successfully and you get positive results, you can get a touchdown. If you get enough touchdowns, the result is winning the football game. So it wasn't no separation there like, oh yeah, we just gonna score a whole bunch of points, but then not stop the person from, the people from scoring.

Yeah.

And then you still can lose the game, which was a bad result. So for me, that seed was planted through Being on a team and doing a bunch of teamwork exercises. But when I started to like really apply it to my day-to-day life where I was just trying to get results in as many areas of my life as possible, the last result that came was the money.

Wow.

The last result that came was the money.

That's the last thing that came.

Because I was always working out. I was always trying to learn. I was always trying to keep my space clean. Um, you know, I don't really like— like my space, like my bedroom, I have a bunch of clothes everywhere, but there'll be like clothes that I just need to fold up. But the cleanest spaces in my— the cleanest areas in my space was always the bathroom and the kitchen. It just would bother me if those 2 things was dirty or messy or things of that nature. And I think I know somebody else, somebody else might be like, man, my bedroom got to be clean. I got to make my bed every day. For me, I will make my bed, you know, throughout the day or, you know, every other day, or I will make my bed before I travel. So I have a thing like when I'm traveling, I have to clean up my space before I travel because I don't want to get back and it's just stuff everywhere. You know what I'm saying? But these was all results.

Right.

In my mind. You know what I'm saying? Like I bought a rower machine for my, studio apartment, right? So if you walk— not studio, my one-bedroom. I still got the one— I still got the apartment in LA. When you walk into that apartment, you go to the living room, it's a rower in the living room. So I bought a rower because as I'm—

Really?

Taking calls, and let's say I couldn't get to LA Fitness, which was right down the street, because, you know, things is happening, I'll take time and I'll do 1-minute rows, 1-minute rest. 1 minute rows, 1 minute rest. And I'll do that for like 10 sets because I'm like, I still gotta get that result of like being in shape, getting them steps in, whatever the case might be.

For sure.

And so it's the same thing now that I'm doing with my fitness goals, with like golf. Golf is a part of my fitness goal. Every year, starting this year, And I started last year where it's like 120 days working out minimum. That means that it's about, that's about—

Minimum.

10 days, that's about 10 days a month, right? So on average about 2.5 times a week. So my workouts is gym and golf. Golf is not that strenuous on the cardio side, but sometimes, you know, it's a lot of steps you're doing. But then in the gym, I might go hit the treadmill before I do weightlifting.

Mm-hmm.

So for me, 120 days every single year is the minimum number of days that I will be working out. It is a goal that yields a result that I'm looking for, right? And I, and I incorporate golf 'cause golf is a mental exercise. And it's a physical exercise, right? And for me, it's fun. I don't have to go to the strip club anymore. I don't have to go to the casino anymore because that exercise alone has me thinking about it when I'm not there. You know what I'm saying? Because it's such a mental—

Mm-hmm.

It's such a mental game. So for me, the result of that combined in working out and combining the playing a game of golf gives me a result that will give me— that I feel like will spill over in my decision-making abilities mentally when it comes to business, when it comes to my relationship, when it comes to my—

Absolutely.

My journey with the Lord. Like, it would just give me better— it would give me better results when it comes to conflict, all of those different things.

That makes so much sense to me, Ty. Um, I mean, I don't— we'll wrap up in a second. I think it's interesting because when I was working at Olive Garden, that was probably the business that had the most people that I would come as a host and there'd be 7 other hosts. Then you got cooks and then you got the bussers. The thing was though, Olive Garden is underneath Darden as a company, right?

Mm-hmm.

So Darden has a string of other restaurants. So if you were working there, You were pretty much— there was opportunity to work at the other stores, right? So if you started at Olive Garden, you can go to Red Lobster, or you go to Old Charlie's, or you can go to these other Darden-branded companies. The problem is there was this fear of being stuck in the Darden system, right? Like knowing that you did not want to be a host forever, knowing that you didn't want to be a cook forever, but everyone around you is kind of— insinuating that you are now in a system that people will be in. And you know, you working with people that are in their 50s, in their 60s, or in their 40s. There's something so frightening about that to me.

Right.

Being somewhere that you know you don't really want to be. It does pay you, but then you're also seeing people who are in this system, and this is the system they have been in. Oh, you know, meet somebody, oh, I've been here for 20 years, or I came over from Red Lobster. I was at Red Lobster for 10 years. I'm at Olive Garden for 10 years. Or I'm here for 5, I'm trying to get management. And I say that all that to say, I think when you're in a position where you're not necessarily trying to be there, you might not understand how that's going to feed where you're trying to go somehow, right? So I— could you speak to someone that might be in a system that they're like, I don't want to be here, but I need to like understand how this could actually help me get to where I'm going?

So it's a story that happened to me when I was in my My— I finished my senior year of high school and my cousin got me a job for the summer working at this place called AAA Cooper right off 675 over there by the QuikTrip, right?

Mm-hmm.

And I was 18 years old. I would work 6 in the morning to noon, so it was 6-hour shifts Monday through Friday, and I'm making like $12 an hour, right? Now mind you, I got a full football scholarship when I go to school, right? But like, mind you, we talking about 6 hours, we talking about 30 hours, you know what I'm saying? I'm making like $12 an hour. So I'm clocking, you know, couple hundred, couple hundred, like $300, $400 a week, you know? And they getting taxes taken out of it, right? But at the age, I'm like, I'm bringing in like, you know, $1,000. $1,500 a week— I mean, $1,500 a month, getting paid weekly, right?

And so— Yeah, you ain't going to school.

My mom would be like, you need to buy stuff for school. You need to buy the stuff for your school. You need to buy the stuff for your dorm room. And I was making so much money at the time for me that I'm like, man, I get all that stuff my last couple of paychecks, man. I'm finna just keep it going. But my cousin would say to me, don't let this money trick you, man. Make sure you take your butt to school. Don't let this money trick you. Make sure you take your butt to school. But what he felt, what he didn't know was every single day that I got exposed to how hard that job was, I couldn't wait to go to school. I was like, I don't know why he keep telling me this. I'm not staying here. It ain't no amount of money they trying to pay me that's gonna justify me not going to school and getting this free education and playing football and trying to get to the NFL. You crazy? But it was a mental thing that nobody had to teach me. Like, if you're going to be in a Darden system, whatever the name of the company was, it was Darden. You're in the Darden system, and let's say they have 6 different companies that you can go and be a host at. Your mental trajectory needs to be asking yourself, why do I want to go and be a host at all of these different successful restaurants? Am I trying to start my own successful restaurant, right? Am I trying to get into management, right? Am I trying to start a farm because I was able to acquire like some land and I want to, I want to do some farm to table? So I want to see if I can create a clientele with these companies. Like, what is your why on that different things? Because I think people fail to realize that. We spend so much time building our crafts for the— through the jobs and things that we work on. So if you're somewhere for 15 years and you feel like that ain't what you really wanted to be doing, you now have created a world where that is your skill set that you've gotten really great at over the last 15 years, right? I, I'm going through it right now with music where—

Mm-hmm.

You know, I've been spending so much time building our sports business over the last past like 6 years, you know, in a serious way like 4. And now I'm looking up, I'm like, man, I gotta get back to the music because I spent so much time sharpening my toolbox in the music space when nobody really wanted to be independent in the same way that it is now. I can't not use those resources, those insights, those things that can probably make me a bunch of money because now I see a world where there's this new thing happening in sports and college sports and they're making a bunch of money as athletes and they need representation. We still can do that. But I got these skill sets that I gotta really still, you know, max out because there is, um, a result that's attached to it that can set me up for the next thing that I want to do, right? So a lot of times people worry about— always the thing that comes to my mind is like, I don't want to be typecast. And the truth of the matter is, if you got to be the drug dealer in every single movie, TV series, TV show you got to do for 10 years, the only way you're going to be typecast if you're not working on other skill sets, if you're not still going to acting class and working on your romantic comedy bag, if you're not going to, you know, meet and have conversations with the directors and producers and tell them about— and giving them a book. Yo, yo, you should read this book. Um, I know you write, I know you're a screenwriter and you're a director. That's not my ministry. But this book talks about photography. It talks about, um, the director, the director of photography, DP work, how frames are. And it also talks about how the director can guide the actors better so that now when that director thinks about you, they think about somebody that's trying to evolve. So they're not going to typecast you no matter how many criminals you done paid. Played because they're spending time to get to know you and to know, oh, so why have you been, you know, booked for any more romantic comedy roles? It's just like, this is how I make my money. So while I'm making my money, I'm just gonna keep getting my toolbox sharper. Because you might not get that role until year 15 after you've been a criminal, a drug dealer, or a gangster for 15 years on screen. until you're able to get those different things. So I think people don't understand how important it is to carve out a lane for yourself so that you can stay at the table until another opportunity come around. Because now that next opportunity, you might be a thug in the new Game of Thrones. That's way different than being the thug on Snowfall.

You funny.

You right though.

You right though. You right though. You stuck that one. You stuck that one. You stuck that one. Yeah, but you're right. And man, I, I'm not gonna hold you all day, but I really do feel like you put a great period on this conversation about sometimes you do get in your head like, I want to show that I can do more, but at times trying to do more might not get to get you the job. You know, you got to still build that skill while you're doing the thing that you're getting hired for. And when the opportunity does come, because it will come if you're able to position yourself properly, it's gonna align, you know, the result will be there. But I do feel like sometimes we do get in our heads about what we want right now. I want this right now. I, I got myself out of that mindset.

I can't tell you how long I've got myself out of that mindset, but it ain't nothing right now that I need right now except for my salvation. Everything else, I'm willing to work for it. I'm willing to put the— I'm willing to show up and pray that I'm in the right place at the right time, right? I'm willing to meet whoever I might need to meet just and be kind and be nice to them, even if they are— they're serving the lowest part of the, the, the totem pole. I want to be nice and kind to them because I don't know who their father is. I don't know who their Girlfriend is like, and it's just because it's the right thing to do. Being nice to people, and so I'm never in a rush to do nothing at this point in my life because whatever gonna come to you, the game gonna come to you, baby. You just gotta make sure you got the tools, that you sharp, that you knowledgeable about what you're doing. But if the game gonna come to you, the game gonna come to you. Ain't nothing you gonna do. To make it come to you any faster.
