Mona said he has some motivational words for us. I

Speaker 4 1:35
don't really know, like, what kind of motivation I can give. But like, I'm just talking about the kind of motivation of the day and how nowadays I find like it's like, hard to find every day when I wake up like, no, that's because like, what I'm doing is like, so tiring. Or it's because, like, I don't want to do some of the stuff I have to do. But it's definitely like a challenge every day.

Speaker 2 1:54
I love how honest he just started that comment. Yeah, it was amazing. That's good. No, no, you're so cool.

Just Mahna Mahna

Unknown Speaker 2:04
Mahna Mahna Mahna Mahna Lisa

Speaker 4 2:16
like this the was the face was fake face swap a smiley face. That's no he's actually Hawaiian. Monroe is actually Hawaiian is spiritual power. Oh,

Unknown Speaker 2:26
I love that. That's awesome.

Speaker 2 2:27
I love it. My name is baz My name is smile was actually pronounced Bessemer but I like St. Paul's.

Speaker 3 2:32
I've never pronounce your violin Wesley. My understanding is Wesley means West meadow. Oh, I didn't make sense that I was born in Washington state so

Speaker 4 2:42
there you go. Las Vegas means the meadows in Spanish I'm pretty sure right

Speaker 2 2:45
the meadow in the meadow? I think so. The arrow in the middle.

Speaker 3 2:49
Yeah. Which is funny because it's like it must be because it was like geographically like an oasis compared to the rest of the desert that I don't know why you never

Unknown Speaker 2:57
placed you in Vegas for a reason. Wesley

Unknown Speaker 2:59
my parents got divorced.

Unknown Speaker 3:01
Oh my god. I'm sorry.

Unknown Speaker 3:03
Talk about starting with true.

Speaker 3 3:05
I know. That reminds me of like, I have a lot of stuff from like childhood TV shows that just like lives in my brain read rent free for no reason. And one of them is a moment from Drake and Josh, where they're playing ping pong. No, I love that episode. I love that one. That one's great. No no, the Bruce Lee. Excellent. He was gone. He's gone. Yeah. That's so funny. I was we had videos. Yeah, nobody was so it's the episode where it's the episode where Josh is meeting Mindy's parents for that dinner at their house for the first time. Yeah. And like her she's trying to warn him like hey, my parents like really like strict and kinda like serious. Andros is trying to do like the joke of the whole thing is he's trying to do everything to come off like oh, good boyfriend to your daughter and stuff and everything just kind of go your weirdly backfires. And one of them is he gets, he gets chocolates for somebody and flowers for the other. And it's like, oh, I'm allergic to the chocolate. And then the one I remember is, it's it's daisies for for one of them. And then when it doesn't work, he tries to like really quickly switch it like oh, we hear that. Take what take what you want then, and it goes from I'm allergic to daisies and then the dad gets them and he just dead ass. And Czechoslovakia. daisies are known as the flower of death. Yeah, exactly. And it just like it. I don't know why, but that that delivery just lives in my head. You know,

Speaker 4 4:43
it's funny because like these podcasts I do, they're like more serious podcasts. I don't get to like, have fun. You know, we joke around. having so much fun right now is like a real podcast. Yeah,

Speaker 3 4:53
I want to have a fun podcast. Yeah, it's more authentic. Yeah, because like, the podcasts that he's he's done and is continuing to record are like informative and really interesting and engaging I need to do but they aren't laid. They aren't laid back. Like they aren't laid back except for when you ask the fun questions right? Back Yeah.

Speaker 2 5:10
What like give me an example like what do you talk about on your jobs? And

Speaker 4 5:13
yeah the the idea that the DA this new podcast is basically to talk about how you know, he was like driving innovation in the car highlight the stuff that you know of us. Yeah, the stuff that makes

Speaker 3 5:22
us an r1 University and different areas of of the colleges and university and all gneissic Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 5:30
you guys like my new year most?

Speaker 3 5:32
I did. Actually. I saw them. I saw them last week, and I thought they were cool.

Speaker 4 5:35
I was walking over here and I saw you wearing them like from I was like walking through the mall. And I saw like I saw though I like didn't like, you're like who is that? I saw that. I was earmuffs. I knew I saw you outside because I saw you walk in with those ear muffs on I was like, Okay, I saw her just now. Yeah, cuz

Speaker 2 5:48
you were thinking, oh, man, I really want those ear muffs. Yeah, exactly. I

Unknown Speaker 5:51
was thinking he's a cool kid.

Speaker 3 5:53
He cannot have those. So to give a visual example, to give a description. To give an example it's or the description that your muffs are like, Cheetah leopard print and then have

Unknown Speaker 6:05
that your most look like

Speaker 4 6:07
why confidential where Yeah, come on level of security literally.

Unknown Speaker 6:11
When you leave, I

Speaker 2 6:12
saw in the restroom, there was a sign that said, if you have any information on who stole this ring, I'll give you $1,000 I think I saw that missing ring here and here. And I was just like, I started looking for the $1,000 I got asked how broke Are you? I got pretty broken. Like I was

Unknown Speaker 6:33
fine. I was more broke. I'm still looking for it actually comes

Speaker 4 6:38
out of my wallet. As we talk about motivation, bro. Just yeah. Yeah. motivated. motivated. Want to get that money? Yeah, to find the ring.

Speaker 3 6:48
Why did that make me think of like a sponge? Sure. Looking for the albino pigeon. Or like,

Speaker 4 6:52
you know, it's funny. Actually, money does talk though. Like, this isn't me just having me in my class. Like, okay, I will class though. I have this. I don't want to mention the class. Oh, I don't want to I don't want people to know that I did this. Oh, that big of a deal. All right.

Speaker 2 7:03
Go ahead. Okay, yeah, we're gonna podcast matter. Send this podcast to everybody. Oh, every single

Speaker 4 7:08
actually. Yeah. So I was I was in this. I was an airdrop. Last semester. It's a multivariate statistics class rostrally permanent Hoa 796. Shout out Seamus. He's awesome. Dr. B. And so we have to do this final project for the class. We have to like get data and like do a data analysis thing. Right, right. And I have a degree in stats. So like for me, it's like not too hard. But like, basically, we have to do this federal

Speaker 2 7:31
budget. I have a degree in stats to be really economics. Oh, shoot. No way. And I have a degree in Psychology

Speaker 3 7:39
Today on all FL Bosma and mana become friends in real time and Master's

Unknown Speaker 7:43
in Public Administration.

Unknown Speaker 7:44
She's got multiple degrees.

Unknown Speaker 7:45
She just continues now I'm getting my bachelor's in music. Oh,

Unknown Speaker 7:48
are we gonna be are we gonna be?

Unknown Speaker 7:52
Brothers? What are your degrees in?

Unknown Speaker 7:56
Mathematics and stats?

Speaker 2 7:57
Okay, so yeah, I'm not really math. The I have a bachelor's in journalism. I have a question for you guys. So three people, sorry. Three people pay $30 for for their, their bill. Then the waiter comes back and says, Actually, it's not $30 it's only $25. And then he gives each one of them $1 back. So nine plus nine plus nine is 27. And then 27 plus two is 29. What happened to the last dollar?

Speaker 3 8:24
I hate that. You just gave me a word problem.

Speaker 4 8:27
Wait, what? dollars I'm gonna give him $5 back. So sit there 25 Each now, but they but so there's not $1 missing? There's like $4 this is what

Unknown Speaker 8:40
I thought he was gonna solve because I'm not here for this.

Speaker 2 8:47
I swear. I thought he was about this. I was like, dang, he got it already.

Unknown Speaker 8:50
I wasn't listening to the last part.

Speaker 2 8:54
So 27 plus two is 29 What happens to the last dollar? Where does the missing dollar

Speaker 4 9:02
but there's so wait the waiter they paid each paid? $3 So they are all three of them paid? $3 All three of them paid? 30? Yes. Okay. All through all through them together paid $3 Check with $3 so they pay the we're 3025 So we're getting a $5 bill. Right. Okay.

Speaker 2 9:18
And then he gave each one of them $1 back. And then he kept the rest is

Speaker 3 9:24
the extra dollar just for a tip. There's actually $2 missing though.

Unknown Speaker 9:28
What?

Speaker 3 9:29
What do you mean? Because you said it's a $5 bill. And then you give everyone back? Working? Yeah. You gave him a 5123

Unknown Speaker 9:39
Let me know when you guys want the answer or if you guys want to try so the up for like

Speaker 3 9:42
a Goodman. Monica try I'm tapped out. All right.

Unknown Speaker 9:45
I circle back. I continue that story while you're circling back.

Speaker 4 9:49
Oh, yeah. So okay. So I'm just I'm punching. I don't like to do schoolwork because I'm lazy, right?

Speaker 3 9:53
I like to work hard. And I'm using this as a capitalist myth. You know, work smarter, not harder. Exactly. So

Speaker 4 10:00
Basically, basically what happened is top left us nuggets constantly, I submitted for a grant. Also, like this is independent of the class I spent for grant. And it's like, do a multivariate analysis for the grant, right? Oh, and so I was like, gonna make up data and like, not do like the project. Basically, I just, like, kind of BS it. But then I was like, Wait a minute. If I can just do the analysis for the grant, then I'll just like get money for doing something that I'm gonna have to do anyway. Basically, motivated to do the project. But then money until then, I realized that Oh, I can kill two birds in one stone we make $3,000. That

Unknown Speaker 10:34
was amazing. What how'd you get the gig though?

Unknown Speaker 10:36
He works on campus. He? Oh,

Unknown Speaker 10:39
yeah. He was telling me what?

Unknown Speaker 10:39
I'm tapped in New Chapter, I'm tapped out of that math question.

Speaker 4 10:44
It's funny. Like, I guess it's not really with motivation, because we got motivation. But opportunity is like definitely something I can speak for. And, like, I kind of live my life in a way where like, I kind of foster a place where opportunities can happen. Like, it's not necessarily creating your own luck, because I believe in create your own luck. But what I do is I kind of create a space where luck can happen. Yeah, that makes sense. Like, open yourself up to opportunities, right. Like, for example, I did the job for him. Yeah. And I like just want to do because it was for me and I, it's whatever. And that right, because I did that podcast, and I was like, I did it. You know, I learned I tried really hard to do it. And people and I got it done.

Speaker 3 11:21
Yeah. And he got he and to his credit mama got real good episodes by like the third one. Yeah,

Speaker 4 11:27
yeah, it was rough at the beginning. But like I learned and so like, basically, I had that foundation was on the pathway.

Speaker 2 11:31
So what do you mean? Yeah, like, what? What do you mean, you weren't good at it. But then you got good. Like

Speaker 3 11:36
the first couple podcasts, anybody records with me? Or they're brand new to it, they're just gonna kind of naturally sound rough, because it's an adjustment period. I'm

Speaker 4 11:45
a math kid. Like I never did something I like. He's saying he's mad.

Speaker 3 11:49
He's very socially nervous. But he overcompensates with ribs. Like I've clocked it immediately when I met him. You're You're the first student I've worked with. It's had two different shows. Really? Yeah. job for him last semester, as of now. And then rebel revolution when it starts with our next semester. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 4 12:07
So yeah, so evolution basically happened to me because I created the space with with knowing West. Yeah, writing people at Blackfyre mind going to the networking events, this person, person and you just kind of connected dots, and they kind of connected the dots, and they're like, hey,

Speaker 3 12:20
we want you to host our podcast. Yeah. I think that speaks to kind of like what he's talking about, you're opening, you're opening up spaces and like, open arms for these opportunities to happen. And it's not so much that you're it is networking, but it's like, it's literally like no to to know you're just making these connections naturally. Because like, oh, I happen to know this person and something comes up. Oh, I know this person. Oh, I'm talking to this person. I have an in here. It's just kind of like, that's exactly what happened. Yeah, I'm friends with it's weird to think it happens organically and naturally. It's like, it's not something you can you can talk about in a class, like a business class, I'd

Unknown Speaker 12:52
be you can't like really make you can't make it happen. If

Speaker 3 12:54
you force it's not gonna Yeah, when I was a student here, my last year, like my last couple semesters, I had this professor for two different classes. Greg, and he was very, very determined to like, get this potential out of me that he saw. And at the time, it didn't have the self awareness is a good topic. Yeah, I didn't have the self awareness or like the, the language or the the understanding yet to know what was up and I was struggling really, really bad. We're talking like, I would have such bad constant anxiety every single day that I would just randomly gag and want to throw up like it was bad. But he had, he had kind of seen potential in me and wanted to push me to, like, do better. And at the time, I it was actually extremely bad for me. So it was it was really difficult. But one of the things that he had discussed was, man, you love music so much. You could write articles about he was rolling. Like he was willing to like magazine writing and like feature writing and stuff. Yeah. And he was like, in like narrative writing. So he was like, Man, you could, you could write about all the music that you like, or, or do a show and play snippets of songs. And like all this stuff, basically, you could do like a show or a podcast doesn't have to be writing, it could just be that kind of creativity. And at the time, the best I could do was just be like, Thank you, but I'm like, my nervous system is on overload and like, practically 24/7 It was like ruining my life. So even though he meant well, I was extremely irritable and like, testy at the time. And I couldn't do anything with it. Like you're saying, like, oh, I have this. I have this possibility. Or someone's seeing it, or I'm seeing it in me, but I can't connect these dots. I can't make this stuff work for me. Right, right. And all this time later. I'm kind of in a space where I could do that if I wanted to. And actually, when I think about it, if you want it to that's the what I'm getting out. So like what you're what Monique was saying about, you know, you pretty much without saying you were doing a passion project you want to do you want to do the job for him just because it sounded fun and it wasn't you didn't have to do it. So it was more appealing. And that's kind of my thing now that I don't feel the pressure from a well meaning professor to be like, do this thing and achieve your potential and under that, because like, that's a half two and like for me with like, ADHD and stuff, it doesn't work well. But now that I'm around now, and I'm in this space and doing things now, which sounds like Oh, that would just be fun. Because I'm in the studio, I have the time I can just set myself. So that

Speaker 2 15:28
just comes to show like everyone's got their own time to like when they want to do things. Yeah. But like, I want to talk about that pressure thing, because I actually wanted to talk about that before coming to the podcast. I just didn't know how it

Speaker 3 15:39
was. I was wondering what you wanted to actually, like, get into today to talk

Speaker 2 15:43
about it because it's I don't want to sound me and I have I have friends that get mad at me when I encourage them to do things that they that I know they would be amazing at like, I would be the teacher in this. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 15:54
I wouldn't be mad at you too.

Speaker 4 15:55
I'm not friendly, gets upset. Like I'm really motivated. Like, generally speaking, like, I'm really capable of doing stuff. And I'm pretty much a go getter when I think about myself. But if someone tells me to do something, even if I'm going to do it anyway, it like make me upset. Well, I

Speaker 2 16:08
didn't. It's not like you're gonna do it anyways. Alright, so like, or like you're doing things, right. But as my friends that aren't doing things, that I can see that they can do amazing things, and I will give them good advice of like, okay, this, this can be your next project. Like, they're not working on anything right now. And then they take it the wrong way, like, Oh, I'm not ready right now. I'm not gonna I don't know where you were at? Yeah,

Speaker 3 16:31
in this Yeah. It's like what, like, what you're describing, and like, seeing the potential and re encouraging is exactly what I was experiencing. Back when I was a student, right? Maybe just weren't ready for it. I wasn't ready for it. And it wasn't even that I, they were wrong. It was that. It was like, the best way I can, I wish again, we had video for this. But like, here's in terms of like, if higher and lower is like better and worse, just to put it out there. If someone's talking to me, like, like, you would be like that professor was like you're being encouraging of like, you're up here and saying, like, Oh, you have all this potential. And you can do all this stuff. And like, I believe in you. And like, that's a wonderful thing. But then like, I'm down here, right? And I'm struggling, right. And I and I like can't see the path. I can't see the path. But I believe I believe that you're being genuine and I believe that like, I'm maybe I'm counting myself out in a sense, but that's not ultimately what the problem is. The problem is is like I'm I'm down here. And when someone's being helpful, encouraging, they can say and do all that same stuff and have that genuine like heart, you also need to take an accountability. When you're in the depths of that kind of anxiety and like tension in your body like your it's paralyzing. Yeah, I couldn't do better than I already was.

Speaker 2 17:48
You if someone sees it in you. It's in you. Yeah, that you have it. You have it somewhere deep inside of you somewhere. So if you start it, yeah, it's not gonna be perfect. It's kind of like what Mona was saying about him starting his podcasts. Like at the beginning, the first three, he was very bad. Imagine Mona being like, he does the first one. And then he's like, No, I'm not ready for this yet. But just two more podcasts after that. And he wasn't already a natural. Yeah. So it's like, you don't actually know what others are seeing in you. Yeah, you might not see it. But if you do it, you might eventually see

Speaker 4 18:20
it. I can agree with that. In my in my, in my life. People, my life basically, you know, I never had to come over overcome a lot of obstacles. But I did always have really good mentors to kind of like guide me. And those mentors have really just either, like, pushed me along or pulled me along. It's a good point, actually. And the truth is, you know, these people, they see something in me with an ICD myself or even I feel that Yeah, yeah. They they think that I can, and I rise to the occasion, often.

Unknown Speaker 18:52
Yeah. But that's he brings up a good point, because I rise

Speaker 3 18:55
to the occasion a lot, actually, when things do happen. I'm just also amazing. Thank you. And I'm just like, I'm just also realistic about like, where I'm at, versus what people are seeing versus what I need to do that for myself. And not just on the back of his goodwill, you know, so like, I'm agreeing with you, by the way,

Speaker 2 19:16
I know. We're both on the game. Yeah, we're both on the same page. We're not we're not arguing or it's a good talk. I

Speaker 3 19:21
understand what you were saying and being careful about, like how to say it. Yeah. Because it's like, the thing is, is like, you can believe in somebody and like have that genuine like you can see something you can just be motivating it can be it can be as deep or as shallow is as it comes off. It's just like making sure that at the same time that you're being encouraging and supportive, that you're also not placing an expectation that they'll do what you want them to do just because they're here just because you can point it out. And I think that's what I'm getting at because that's what i was i That's exactly how I felt pressured when I was As a student, and it was what you're saying, you might believe in me, but not you're telling me what to do, and whether or not I want to do it, which I would in a in a clear, headspace it it's not you're forcing it into my schedule or my timetable. And that's ultimately what like causes the the pushback? Well,

Speaker 2 20:21
that comes back to what Mona was saying about the mentor. The mentor could actually not be giving you good advice. So it's like, like, it could be a bad

Speaker 3 20:29
thing to have a bad mentor doesn't even have malice. Yeah, you could have an incompetent mentor. So that

Speaker 2 20:35
is where the trust comes. Like, sometimes we do trust the wrong person. And then we do it. Yeah. Learning. Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 20:41
you either win or you learn. Yeah.

Speaker 4 20:42
I think a lot of wanting to keep me motivated. And I kind of relate to the mentors is like, yeah, you know, I I've gotten pretty far I do a lot of things, but I really have, like a whole clan behind me. Yeah. Like Pete. Like, some people behind me, like just cheering me on and pushing me on. People like I would not be motivated. Yeah. Anything. This

Speaker 2 21:02
this is touching on the subject of the when we were talking about famous people and their support system and how like when, when their fans turn on them? Oh, yeah. How how

Unknown Speaker 21:11
it cripple you can be it

Unknown Speaker 21:12
could literally destroy their whole career. Yeah.

Speaker 3 21:14
Because it's based on external validation. Right? Yeah. Yeah. We were talking about

Speaker 2 21:18
that. And you guys can go check that out in our previous but we were talking about how, like, with a strong support system, no matter what's thrown at you, you're gonna get through

Speaker 3 21:26
it. Yeah. Yeah. And that's and then it shows like just the importance of community and like, having one finding one fostering one, but also how important it is, when people don't have that and you recognize it. And in that, and you can provide that. Like, I think we talk about community, and we talk about it, like they're done deals, and oh, it's so easy to just, like, basically just, like appear over the deep end and fall in this kind of how they talk about it. But it's it takes it takes people from the community to like, meet and find and reach other people to be like, Oh, yes, you're also included? And also Yes, like, we can all like help each other. And it's mutual aid, and it's mutual encouragement and lifting up. Yeah,

Speaker 4 22:12
this is something that I actually feel really strongly about. Yeah, when I was 15, my parents sent me off to Spain to live there for a year by myself. I was 15. Yeah, I wasn't American, and literally by yourself. I was an American in Barcelona. And I struggled so hard to make friends. that frustrated me so much when I was so young that when I came now, like in my life, I don't have a lot of sympathy for a lot of things. Like I'm pretty like, I hate to say it, but I'm a little apathetic to a lot of like causes. But one of the causes that I'm extremely, extremely sympathetic for anyone that is moving somewhere new and knows nobody. Yeah, I've been that I've been that champion, and I will always be the champion for someone that,

Speaker 3 22:50
ya know, and it's important to like, it's, I've thought about that, because like, there are people that you know, they have that happened, where you Oh, yeah, I'm just on. I'm just in a stranger in a strange land, turn a phrase.

Speaker 4 23:01
And the sad thing is, it takes one person to meet that you can meet that will help you with everything, like with whoever wherever, and that person might not end up being your community. Like I've been that champion for someone right and I might not be part of their like circle now. Yeah, but like I because of like, they met that one person that's gonna help them out. They have their circle, they have their life. They have their job. They have their this they have their that. Yeah. And they're settled. Yeah, but a lot of times, it just takes one person. Yeah, to start that.

Speaker 2 23:25
So did you have an accent when you moved to Spain?

Speaker 4 23:28
Oh, yeah. I mean, like, I don't I didn't speak Spanish. I didn't speak a word. I mean, like, I had taken Spanish in high school, but you know, right. Yeah. So I got there and I spoke like Hola, que tal como estas? Don't Estelle banyo. So like, I mean, I have to like, learn Spanish. How

Unknown Speaker 23:43
many languages do you speak now?

Speaker 4 23:44
I speak English, Spanish Farsi, a little bit of Catalan. That's cool. How do you pronounce that? Catalan, Catalan?

Unknown Speaker 23:51
And you're like, fluent, and all of those? No, no,

Speaker 4 23:53
I'm fluent in English, Spanish, mostly Farsi and I'm at least learning Catalan but I can still like read and write. That's cool. I've

Unknown Speaker 23:59
always been wanting to learn like different languages, but where's

Speaker 3 24:02
Farsi native to Iran? Oh, that's my that's what that's what the language is called. Okay. I always find like language history is so interesting because like certain, certain like, syllables and sounds and letters, they just don't carry over.

Speaker 3 24:19
comes from. Okay. So when I worked at the Hoover Dam, I would meet people from all over the world constantly. And I love that I found it fascinating. And it was just like, cool to see that. But now, give me bibs. Makes a lot of No, it makes a lot of the honors.

Speaker 2 25:37
three people, three people at a table. This is this is a mind game question. Table. Their bill was 30 bucks. They gave him each of them gave him 10 bucks. Then he came back and he said oh actually your your your meal was only 25 bucks. Here's $1 back for all of you guys, and I'm gonna keep the change as my tip. So 20. So nine plus nine plus nine is 27 plus two is 29. What happened to the other dollar? So

Speaker 4 26:07
basically what happened is, these days I'll pay with 10s. Right? So then they get $3 back. So each get $1 back, right? Yeah, what keeps keeps other two is tip.

Speaker 2 26:18
Right? But there's $1 missing because it's $29 not?

Because there's three there's $5. Right? And they each get $3 $2 Less keeps two hours this tip. It doesn't. It doesn't? No, no. Doesn't matter, does it eight, they each gave a 10. And then they just got $1 back, right. So then there's there's $3 of the $5. Yeah, there's $2 to get the two hours this

Speaker 2 26:44
