1. 0:00Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to Alienize Photos in the Street Talk.
2. 0:10I am your host, photographer Jackson, and I am in a beautiful space here, 216 Cleveland.
3. 0:24I saw it on the clock so I had to say it, I had to do it, and it's true, I'm here
4. 0:28in Cleveland, Ohio, born and raised, and just feeling good.
5. 0:36I had to do a little self-reflection, self-analysis, get myself together, because I felt in this
6. 0:48hump, and I just couldn't get over the hump, you know, starting doubting myself
7. 0:56and, you know, just listening to the naysayers and the outside and letting it affect me,
8. 1:08affect my greatness, affect my journey, affect my purpose, affect my experiences, affect
9. 1:15my thoughts, and they say when you do not have control over your thoughts, you become
10. 1:24a slave to it.
11. 1:27So that means I was becoming a slave to other people's thoughts, not doing what I was
12. 1:37supposed to do, being who I was supposed to be.
13. 1:42I let it affect my personal life, my business, my growth, and, you know, children are
14. 1:54out of school for the summer, so it's affecting my kids, because they're around
15. 1:59me a lot more, versus when they are in school, nieces, nephews, it's affecting the youth.
16. 2:13So I had to check myself, get myself in line, speak with some close people to get
17. 2:23me back on track, and that's the beauty of just speaking to others, communicating,
18. 2:32hearing other people's experiences and thoughts, people that know you better than they may
19. 2:38see how you look in the mirror and point out something that you never seen before.
20. 2:48Like, do you know you got this greatness inside you?
21. 2:51Every time you walk in a room, people turn their heads and just look at you,
22. 2:56gravitate towards your energy, your aura, your presence.
23. 3:01You shift the energy in the room.
24. 3:06Do you remember who you are?
25. 3:09What are you talking about, dude?
26. 3:13And all you need is that little wake-up call sometimes, reminders, and it's good to set
27. 3:22those reminders on our phones, but what about reminders in our real life, our reality?
28. 3:29People who mean so dear and close to us, people so dear and close to us, and I just
29. 3:40think about what I'm doing now, podcasting, interviewing.
30. 3:48If I knew all of that now, I would have got to interview with them.
31. 3:57People that mean so much and dear to my heart, who means a lot to me.
32. 4:04Family members, friends, old business partners, but they're not here to have that interview.
33. 4:18So me not having it back then, when I had that chance to speak to a loved one, someone
34. 4:28that means so much and dear to my heart, my life, my existence, my family's existence,
35. 4:35my friends' existence, business' existence, or whatever the case, I didn't get that chance,
36. 4:45and I don't have that chance.
37. 4:49So it's important for me to have these conversations with people that I feel dear
38. 4:55and grateful in my life, that I appreciate.
39. 5:02It's important for me to have these conversations and share light and also learn from each
40. 5:10other, let the world learn from us, our journey, our mistakes, our lessons, our
41. 5:19growth, our passion, our wins, our elevation, our collaboration, our inspiration, our purpose,
42. 5:32everything that we do, everything that we know you can do.
43. 5:40We all excel and motivate and uplift each other.
44. 5:46And it's important to do that. It's important to have these conversations.
45. 5:53I know you can hear it in my voice. It's the passion.
46. 5:58And that is why I take every interview serious.
47. 6:04We may spend almost a half a day, 12 hours.
48. 6:14That's why I say we might have to block off a full day.
49. 6:18I don't have no time restrictions.
50. 6:21Hey, we have to break this up into like five, six episodes because it's so long.
51. 6:29We're going to do that.
52. 6:31But I don't want to rush. I don't want to force.
53. 6:34Most of my conversations are like an hour and a half, two hours average right now.
54. 6:41But there's times where I know it'll went like six hours if I didn't just stop it,
55. 6:48wrap it up, you know?
56. 6:51And I also don't want to make it too long for the audience.
57. 6:55But I also don't want to not have that information, those conversations,
58. 7:02those important journeys, gems, lessons, the growth, the wins.
59. 7:13You know, it's good.
60. 7:16And it's good to express that all.
61. 7:19It's like, damn, man, we finally got a chance to catch up and talk, man.
62. 7:24Let's just talk, man. Let's talk.
63. 7:32So with that being said, you really can't put limits on things.
64. 7:40And sometimes you have to do it without preparing, do it without planning.
65. 7:47Just go with the flow.
66. 7:50Sometimes you have to do it without a script.
67. 7:54Oh, I didn't have a time to write the script.
68. 7:56I didn't have a time to prepare.
69. 7:58Well, you know who you are.
70. 8:00You know what you do. You know what your purpose is.
71. 8:02You know this.
72. 8:04Just go with the flow.
73. 8:06You didn't have time to practice, but you showed up.
74. 8:08That's what matters.
75. 8:10You showed up.
76. 8:12And that's also something that I had to remember that I was still showing up,
77. 8:17no matter how I felt, how I took it, how I felt in this negative slump.
78. 8:27I still showed up.
79. 8:32Tired, drained.
80. 8:36I knew I wasn't in my energetic self.
81. 8:39And I feel it finally coming back, y'all.
82. 8:43I'm back.
83. 8:46And I just want to pass that motivation,
84. 8:51quick tidbits while it was on my heart.
85. 8:54And I felt so grateful and back in myself.
86. 8:58Day one, this is day one of my shift.
87. 9:01And I just wanted to give that to you.
88. 9:02For that electricity.
89. 9:04Fire y'all up, because this fired me up.
90. 9:07I'm back.
91. 9:09Now I can do the work that I'm used to doing.
92. 9:12High level.
93. 9:14Coaching, consulting, performing at a high level.
94. 9:21I'm ready.
95. 9:23And I want you to be just as ready as I am.
96. 9:29Feel what I'm feeling.
97. 9:31The passion.
98. 9:33The purpose.
99. 9:36Blend it together.
100. 9:42But just be ready for the interviews.
101. 9:52I'm telling y'all.
102. 9:54It's a lot that's on the way.
103. 10:00I'm excited.
104. 10:03Trying to relax and calm down.
105. 10:06But the passion is still there.
106. 10:09I'm fired up.
107. 10:10So with that being said, I got to get to work.
108. 10:16I got to put in the work.
109. 10:18I have a lot to do.
110. 10:25And it's Father's Day, y'all.
111. 10:30It's Father's Day.
112. 10:34Probably not going to release this on Father's Day, but it's Father's Day.
113. 10:40You know, my daughter asked me.
114. 10:43She said, daddy, what you want for Father's Day?
115. 10:51And I said, a day off.
116. 10:55Just relax and do nothing.
117. 10:56And I actually have the opportunity to do that.
118. 11:03But I'm still getting to work.
119. 11:07So do I really know how to relax?
120. 11:11Huh.
121. 11:12Well, I'm going to try, y'all.
122. 11:13But let me get to work.
123. 11:15At least so I can relax for the rest of the day.
124. 11:19While I can.
125. 11:20I definitely got a busy week coming into next week.
126. 11:24And then a wedding coming up the following week.
127. 11:26So it's a lot of preparation.
128. 11:29It's a lot of things to get back done.
129. 11:31Now I'm feeling like myself again.
130. 11:34So I'm going to leverage that.
131. 11:36Keep that momentum going.
132. 11:38Hopefully I don't feel like I felt this past week.
133. 11:43I'm shutting off the week.
134. 11:46Spreading my wings, sun shining.
135. 11:49And ready to get to grind mode.
136. 11:55I was going to say work, but I'm saying I'm getting tired of saying work grind mode.
137. 11:59I'm going to think of a better word.
138. 12:01So many.
139. 12:03All right, y'all.
140. 12:03Peace.

152. 12:54And I'm just everywhere.
153. 12:56Mine is everywhere.
154. 12:58Just like the ideas that I have.
155. 13:01So if you want to have an ideation session,
156. 13:05a nice five minute or an hour ideation session.
157. 13:13Let's have it.
158. 13:15It helps unlock different thoughts you knew you had,
159. 13:21but wasn't thinking about.
160. 13:25And that's what I do.
161. 13:28Help people realize for themselves.
162. 13:31I just guide them.
163. 13:32I'm the guide to the destination you want to go.
164. 13:40All right, y'all.
165. 13:40Peace, love, and blessings.
