Calling all my sweeties to the forefront.
I'm your host, Chris Renee Hayslitt,
and this is the Keep It Positive Sweetie Show.
Hello and welcome to this episode
of the Keep It Positive Sweetie Show,
a safe space to heal, laugh, grow and love.
I'm your host, Chris Renee Hayslitt,
and today is another solo episode
because you guys love these.
Today I'm answering questions, it's fun.
I even broke the fourth wall and included some of my crew.
So let's have a good time.
I hope you guys enjoy this one.
All right guys.
So I'm gonna do something different on this episode.
I'm gonna be answering a few questions
that will also bring you into my mindset
and how I think about things.
The first one is delulu or manifestation.
Hmm, the power of dreaming big.
I can definitely tend to be a little delulu. I remember like growing up and my mom would always
say, oh my goodness, you are literally the biggest risk taker of the family. And I think it got me
to where I am today because I see no bounds to how far I can go.
Some of the craziest things I did growing up, I remember
when I was in Washington DC working on Capitol Hill, I drove from DC to New York to audition
for Diddy's Assistant. Yeah, it was crazy because I wanted to be a singer, I wanted to be an entertainer, and I was like, okay, what's the best way to go about this? I've always, even from back then,
I've always been a firm believer of putting yourself around what you want to do so that you
can learn from all aspects of that space, and that was one of the craziest things I did. I
didn't clearly didn't get it, and then I remember another time when I was working
on Capitol Hill in DC that this was when then Senator Obama
was running for his first term in presidency.
And one of his, I don't know if he was a legislative
correspondent or, but he worked in Senator Obama's office at the time.
And he was like, hey, Crystal, he was like,
Senator Obama's running for president
and we have some paid positions to come work on the campaign.
Would you wanna come do it?
And I'm like, heck yeah.
And he was like, all right, bet.
So I called my parents, I'm like, hey guys,
I'm going to quit my job
and I'm gonna go work on the Obama campaign.
And my parents were like, you are crazy.
And I was like, no, I really think he's gonna win.
And my parents were like, I don't know,
because we had never seen it.
This is no slight to them,
nobody ever thought that we would have a black president.
We were hopeful that we would have one,
but at that moment, they really weren't sure
that it was smart for me to quit my job to go work on a campaign for someone who I could possibly
not have a job after that moment.
Needless to say, I was right.
They were wrong.
No, but he won and after that they were like, you know what, we're not going to tell you
what you can and cannot do.
Just go for it because I could have been working in the White House for the first black like, you know what? We're not gonna tell you what you can and cannot do. Just go for it.
Because I could have been working in the White House
for the first black president, you know?
But that's neither here nor there.
So yeah, I think I'm definitely delulu
when it comes to manifesting my dreams.
So I guess that has played a huge part in my success today.
And literally since a kid,
I don't care if anybody likes it or doesn't like it.
As long as I set my mind to it, there's no stopping me.
So call me DeLulu or whatever you want to call me.
But yeah.
All right. So the next one is how do I make everyday moments feel magical?
I feel like I try to make everything that I do fun and enjoyable.
I don't really do anything that I don't enjoy.
You know, there are some things you're like,
this isn't the most fun thing, but I know it's good for me, so I do it.
And then I end up loving it.
But things that I make enjoyable and that I just really love,
I love my daily routine.
I love my self-care routines.
You guys know in the mornings, I do my meditation,
I pray, I read my Bible, and I journal
in my Like the Flame Within journal.
That is very therapeutic for me
and it really helps me kind of get centered in the day
and helps me fight off all the craziness
that I'm ready to face throughout the day.
Things that make me feel like I'm in a movie.
So I just had a moment, I was in New York Fashion Week,
and I was sitting next to,
oh my gosh, such an amazing moment.
I was sitting next to Jay Manuel,
who if you've watched America's Next Top Model,
he was one of the guest judges
that always made appearances on America's Next Top Model. He was one of the guest judges that always made appearances on America's Next Top Model. So I have just a great, great love for J. Manuel. So I
got to sit next to him at the Romeo Hunt show and anybody who knows me knows that
The Devil Wears Prada is one of my favorite movies starring Mel Street. And
we're at this show and the show was getting started late and I had a very, very tight schedule that day
where I had to be at another show by five o'clock.
So I was banking on that show starting on time.
And Jay goes, honey, he was like, you need to leave now.
And I was like, what do you mean?
He was like, you don't want to be late for that show.
He said, in the fashion world,
there's a 15 minute grace period.
And he was like, by now and a winter would be walking out.
You should go.
And I swear in that moment, I was like, this is a scene from a movie.
It felt like a movie.
There are so many points in my life that I feel like feel kind of like a movie
where I look back and I'm like, that's my life.
That's really my life.
So yeah, those are ways that I make my life fun.
And then also moments of my life
that kind of felt like a movie.
Let's see, what we have next?
Ooh, the glow up error.
So we need to find some pictures of me before now.
I look crazy.
Somebody found a, like I probably posted it,
but it was a picture of me when I was a kid.
My teeth were all over the place and I never wore braces.
So it was like, I guess as they grew
and they just grew in straight.
But at that moment it was like one was growing in.
It was really bad.
Even like through high school
and I look back at my senior picture, like how thin my eyebrows were. I'd be like one was growing in, it was really bad. Even like through high school, when I look back at my senior picture,
like how thin my eyebrows were,
I'd be like, oh my gosh, what were you thinking girl?
Becoming my best self inside out,
I think for the longest,
I've pretty much been a very confident person,
but there was a phase in my life
where I kind of lost myself in my identity
and trying to find myself.
And I think where I am now,
I am so firm in who I am.
I love who I am inside out.
I love the skin I'm in.
Of course, there's moments where I gained a little weight
and y'all be,
y'all be seeing y'all, y'all be talking about, is she pregnant? She didn't, she getting fat,
all these things. But there's times where I am hard on myself. You guys only had to say those
things because I am so hard on myself. I see it and I'm like, all right, let me fix it. And
there's some things I have to do for work where they're like, you do not lose any weight. We need
to actually gain some weight because you're pregnant or whatever the case may be.
We need it to look real.
But yeah, for the most part, I am very confident,
but there were times where I was like,
ooh girl, like you gotta really pull it together.
But I think things that I've done to get to that point
is honestly just understanding that,
one, you're made in the image of God.
There is no one else like you.
And I think there was this moment in our culture
and society where everybody was just walking.
Everybody was looking the same.
Like everybody had the body and it was like,
there was no uniqueness.
And I would compare myself to all these girls,
you get on social media and everybody has the perfect body.
And it was a moment where I was just like,
okay, maybe I need to do a little something here.
You know what I'm saying?
A little here.
And I remember like not feeling my best self
in those moments.
But once I got past that and realized, you know what?
You are good.
You know, like do your thing, do what works for you.
And I don't knock nobody for what they do.
Do your thing, what works for you. I don't knock nobody for what they do Do you think what works for you?
But as long as you feel good about it and once I got to that place I was good
But I had to stop comparing myself to other people and put the phone down
child
Confidence is contagious how you walk into any room like you own it. Okay guys, let me tell you something
I how you walk into any room like you own it. Okay, guys, let me tell you something.
I am a confident woman, but when I walk into rooms, I'm not the girl that's like,
hi, hey, I'm Crystal, nice to meet you.
I am the girl that's in a corner,
like not networking, not talking to people.
So I had to take people with me that don't mind doing that.
So I don't know if I me that don't mind doing that.
So I don't know if I really walk into rooms like I own it.
I do walk in, if I'm spoken to,
I'm definitely going to speak with you confidently
and carry on a great conversation
so that when you leave it's like,
yo, that was a really dope conversation.
But as far as me walking in and just kind of owning the room,
no, like I feel like when you live your life in the spotlight,
you kind of tend to like sit back in those scenarios.
So I don't know if I really walk in and own it, but yeah, no, I'll be chilling.
I really be chilling.
Let's see, soft life versus the hustle life.
Can you have both?
Oh my goodness.
So, is this tough for me?
Because I,
I feel like you have to be very intentional
about your soft life
if you are a woman or man, whoever it is
that is about your hustle and about your business.
A lot of times I think we have misconstrued the fact
that being about our business, we put aside our soft side
because when you're about your business,
you had to put on your masculine hat and be tough
so people don't run over you and things like that.
But I think for me,
I'm finally finding the balance of doing things
that bring out that softer side
because honey, I lost it for a minute.
Like I was, I gotta do everything.
I'm hard, you know what I'm saying?
Man, I ain't got nobody to help me,
so let me just do it myself.
Like I was doing everything.
And I remember at one point in my life,
I just like broke down crying.
Cause I'm like, dang, like I don't have anybody
to like help with anything.
You ever felt like that, Drea?
Yes, like it was something as simple as
the garbage disposal.
My garbage disposal broke
and I was like doing everything.
I'm trying to build a business.
I was new to acting and trying to balance out that schedule
and my whole life is changing.
And I'm like, I literally am doing all this by myself.
You know, like I didn't have another human body
to help me with it.
And I think in that moment, I was like,
the soft life started to kind of like become more popular.
Cause I think a lot of women who are entrepreneurs
and successful started to realize,
dang, I'm doing this on my own own and I've kind of become hard.
I'm very hard. I'm harder than hard. Harder than hard. Soft like me. I don't want that soft like me.
Yes but do you feel like that's something that we as women have to really kind of take control of
even if we don't have a man that can make our lives easier? Because I think a lot of times we like think that somebody else has to come in and do that. Is that something that
we can like implement into our own lives or do you think it's just easier when you have somebody to
kind of land on? Well I think I'm a little different from you because when you are a single
parent you're forced to be a little harder and doing things yourself
and stuff like that versus being single. Being single, you could kind of do more of the soft
life, but as a parent and an entrepreneur and a working mom and the go, gotta do everything,
it's kind of hard. Yeah, I can see that. I didn't think that from that perspective
Yeah, cuz I don't have any kids so I don't really have anything else
Yeah, so your soft life, you gon' get your facials
Yeah, get a little besides
You like your what Pilates?
Why you go to Pilates? I'm dropping kids off at school
Right, yeah
But there is a balance that you you can do when you have a lot of things going on.
I fit in my Pilates, I fit in going to work out,
I fit in my facials, but then an hour later,
I'm back to the hard life again.
Oh yeah, that's real, that's real.
So I think for both of us,
really more about finding that balance
and really kind of pinning in that time to like,
I gotta have my self time.
Well, I think that kind of also ties into like burnout.
Because you know what I'm saying?
When you don't take the time to be intentional
about the time and space that you need as women,
like we end up burning out.
Definitely burnout.
Yeah, it's a way.
Don't ask me how I recharge from burnout now. I ain't got the answer yet.
You got the answer yet.
I will tell everybody, y'all, I can't.
Yeah.
Like, I'm very firm when it comes to my boundaries of no.
You gotta set boundaries.
I have to, like, even like now, like,
I already told them on a certain date
when I'm getting ready to prepare to go back for sisters,
don't call me for anything.
Yep. Letting you know, so I will work my tail to the bone I'm on a certain date when I'm getting ready to prepare to go back for sisters, don't call me for anything.
Letting you know.
So we're doing, I will work my tail to the bone
up until that point so you have everything you need
for me to take that month off
because once that I'm focused on that
and it's so much already new,
you know how like you can see it in advance,
like it's too much.
Like, so I know by this point I'm gonna be done.
So I think having those healthy boundaries of saying no is like so important to you.
That's with anybody. Friends, relationships, work, clients, all of that.
Do you have trouble saying no?
I used to.
Me too, but I love it now.
I knew it now.
It's my favorite word.
No, can't do it.
No. And no, that's it, it's a sentence.
It's a no.
It's a complete sentence. Even dating. No. No. Not no, that's it. It's a sentence. It's a complete sentence.
No. No. I'm not doing it. I don't feel bad about it. At first I used to feel bad. Like, I don't want to hurt nobody's feelings. No.
No. Now, if like the right person that you really like.
Yes.
She said, uh huh.
My friend could call me and be like,, let's go do brunch, girl.
I don't feel like it.
Let that man call.
You already can get out.
Let me get my boots on.
I'm on the way.
Get something together.
Yes.
I love that.
It's so good to be picking you.
It is, yeah.
Yeah.
And I mean, I think that too, like finding the balance of like prioritizing your time
with everybody, you know, so that you don't neglect people,
but also since you're not neglecting yourself.
Because there's weeks where I'm like, oh my goodness,
I have literally like said yes to everybody
every day of the week.
And by Saturday, it's like, I'm so tired.
I just wish I had said no to one of these things.
You get emotionally drained.
Yes, oh, girl, my battery ain't never full.
So by the time like my drainage is like fast,
it's like, you know how your computer,
when it gets like older or your phone,
you can't hold the charge, I'm there.
Like that thing, it ain't holding the charge.
That's how it be.
I get out, I go out and I'm like, y'all ready to go?
Chris, we just got here.
I know. I'm ready.
I don't wanna be here.
I don't wanna be here. That's good.
Right. That's it. I got my pictures. They know I was here. We're good.
This is another good one. Bouncing back. The art of the comeback.
Oh my goodness. Let me think of a moment where I had to bounce back.
Let me think of a moment where I had to bounce back.
I feel like it would probably be when I first moved to Atlanta from DC, going from having a regular paying job,
consistent check, and then moving here
and going like flat broke, money ran out fast.
Everything I had saved up ran out and trying to figure it out and that
It was a series of years for the comeback. It wasn't like a quick season. We're like bounce back
Now the you're saying your money can get low and then it's like, oh, I know I got this coming boom
but even in that like learning the responsibility of how to manage things because for me I
went from making a good amount of money,
a great amount of money, to like making like a lot of money
in a very short amount of time.
And not having everything I needed to know
and having to learn really fast how to manage this
so that like when you do have down seasons,
you know, okay, cool.
Like I can, I've already managed this properly
so that when I have a down season,
I don't have to figure out how to come back.
And I think that comes with maturity,
but it wasn't always like that.
So that was probably one of the seasons,
a series of years that I would call a season
where I had to literally fight my way back.
It wasn't just a quick comeback.
Let's see what else we got.
Ooh, the friend audit. Keeping your circle strong.
This is really good.
And this goes with all types,
like I wanna say this could be for friends and family.
You gotta really make sure that the people around you
serve the season that you are in.
Because if you're around people and you're unequally yoked,
when it comes to where you are in your life,
it can derail you so fast.
And I think that for me, where I am in my life now,
and I look around at my friends circle,
we are so strong in our faith,
and our firm foundation in Christ,
and it helps me stay focused.
If I was running around with people that were like still in the streets,
in the club, being promiscuous and doing all these different things,
like not saying that everybody, everybody's walk is different.
Let's be very clear on that.
But if we're all striving for the same thing, if we're all focused and like,
do we see each other at church on Sundays?
You know, like we're all like on that path.
It it helps with your walk. So like when you look at your circle, you kind of have to see like, we see each other at church on Sundays, you know, like we're all like on that path. It helps with your walk.
So like when you look at your circle,
you kind of have to see like,
let's take a little inventory and audit,
where are people in their lives?
Who's kind of stagnant right now?
And how can we help lift them up to where we are,
you know, besides just throwing people away,
but also you have to be around people
who want that for themselves.
You know, so I think for me and my journey,
it has, I do probably yearly kind of an audit,
maybe sometimes throughout the year,
you kind of have to be very conscious
of your surroundings and who you keep,
cause you know, sometimes you'll look and be like,
wait a minute, why am I acting like this?
Like, what is that?
Because I don't really do this because you start to pull,
you don't realize you are like the people
that you hang around the most.
So like you guys might have to cuss like a sailor
and you're trying to stop cussing.
You'll find yourself like, wait,
why am I cussing all the time?
It's like, oh, like, okay.
Now I gotta talk to my friend, Hey Bear,
like you gotta chill out
because I'm really working on this
and I'm starting to pick it up.
It's like a kid, you know, like,
you got a kid who like absorbs everything.
And then you're like, where'd I get that from?
Oh, I got it from my mama.
You know, so it's like the same thing.
We are constantly absorbing things.
So I think the friend audit is very, very important,
especially when it comes to just evolving in life.
You know know for me
even with attaining fame and trying to figure out how to navigate it, I've
noticed that my friends have even had to kind of shift and even kind of elevate
and grow because they are around me. They're like, we realize like we
can't move how we used to move because of you and sometimes it can be a heavy thing to carry when you're not the
one that has to bear that you know like for me it's like it's a part of it you
know but when you're just attached to me and and somebody who's just an innocent
bystander where they have to kind of shift to sometimes they don't understand
why they have to shift or even understand the importance of it
because they're not living it.
But then other people that I'm around,
they're like, no, I get it.
And I'm willing, you know what I'm saying?
Like, since I see, like, I understand where you are
and where you're going and I wanna go too
and I wanna grow in my areas
and I would love to be around you because it inspires me.
But like when you have people
who aren't really quite there yet,
you have to decide when it's
time to sever those ties.
Or you know, I feel like the saying that people are in your life for a reason in a season
or a lifetime is so true and you have to be okay with that.
You know, we want to hold on to people and hold them tight forever.
And that's not everybody's position in your life.
And you have to understand that.
And that doesn't mean that you don't love them any less, that they're not in your prayers, or that they
can't call you if they need you for anything, but some people just can't stay
that close to you all the time, you know, depending on where you are in your life.
So the friend audit is important. Make sure you guys do that and check your gotta keep it strong. This is a good one.
Would you date you?
Oh, oh, that's so good. Oh my goodness, wow.
Would I date me?
I mean, of course I would date me,
but there are some things, when you ask me that I'm like
there's some things I need to work on.
I have like a, like I like the, I like things the way I like it, you know, and I can, when
you've been by yourself for so long, you have cultivated a way of life.
You've cultivated your patterns and the way you like to do things and
sometimes it's hard to like shift those things when you're so stuck in your ways.
So I know for me like when it comes to dating me, if I was to date myself, those are some things that
this is good because it's kind of a little self-reflection that I would need to work on.
Like you know being more like water, you know what I'm saying? Like if I'm with somebody I would need to work on. Like, you know, being more like water, you know what I'm saying?
Like if I'm with somebody, I want us to flow, you know,
it doesn't have to always be my way.
That's something I need to work on.
I think something else I would work on
if I was to date myself would be wanting,
oh, you know what?
If I was to date myself, I would also tell Crystal to work
on making sure that you give people the grace that you want people to give you.
A lot of times we want people to come exactly how we want them to come.
You know, I struggle with this myself. Like you had this list of things,
like I want somebody who is on the same page as me spiritually. Like I want somebody who's
taking their walk with God seriously. I want somebody who's got their stuff together. You know,
I want somebody who has this, at least makes this amount of money. You know, they don't have to make
the same amount. You have the list. You know what I'm saying? Whatever your list is, we all have it.
to make the same amount. You have the list, you know, whatever your list is, we all have it.
And I think we have to understand that sometimes when we put those limitations on people, we also block our blessing of an amazing person. So I would definitely say learn to give grace more
and kind of, you know, say you can have your non-negotiables but kind of throw the list away because sometimes the list is just it's not realistic so I would do that and then
what else I think everything else like I would keep you know like I'm a good
time like I'm well-traveled so I know a lot of things I can introduce you to
different things and I'm fun yeah everything else I'm good. Those are a few things I need that
control and that grace I need to work on. But other than that, yeah, I would take
myself. Mm-hmm. I would. Let's see, what else? No more pick-me-energy standing
firm in your worth.
I am there, honey.
I used to be the girl.
I just had to be in a relationship.
Please pick me, please.
Not anymore.
No, listen, I'm very open
because I did go through a phase in my life
where I just was very close-minded
and wasn't putting myself out there to meet anyone.
Now I'm very close-minded and wasn't putting myself out there to meet anyone. Now I'm very open-minded.
I've grown and matured in the things that I want in a man.
But as far as being desperate and like, please pick me, like I just, I want to be in a relationship
so bad.
No, those days are over.
I'm not that girl anymore.
And I thank God that I have been delivered from that because a lot of times we, when
you have that pick me energy energy you are willing to do anything
and it turns into like only how can I serve you and then the part is not
reciprocated on the other end but when you have values and standards you come
to the table with the man understanding from the jump oh this is how I have to
approach her oh these are the things that she needs and demands in a
relationship and I think when you enter
it in that way, it sets the tone for what you need and also you're open as a woman
to give the man what he needs and it's not a one-sided relationship. But I think
a lot of times, as we get older, for me it was a, I had a phase in my life as I
was getting older and I wasn't settled down yet, that I did have that energy
where I just wanted someone to pick me. Like I was ready and I think a phase in my life as I was getting older and I wasn't settled down yet, that I did have that energy
where I just wanted someone to pick me.
Like I was ready and I think a lot of times
I settled in relationships because of that energy.
And I was with people that God had not designed for me
and that he hadn't chosen for me,
but I was so eager to be in a relationship
and just be chosen.
And you know, like you want that, you know,
like we can't sit like, I don't care. No care no you want those things but you wanted to be with the
person that God chose for you so that's my take on that plot twists and pivots
when life doesn't go as planned all right guys I am working on this because
I work so hard to plan things and it's where the control comes back into
It's hard for me sometimes to immediately go into the alright, what are we gonna do? Let's pivot, you know, I
Because when you like so structured and you you plan everything to a tee like you want things to go, right and
to a T, like you want things to go right. And sometimes depending on if I'm PMSing
and I'm super aggy or if I'm in that space
where like, all right, it's fine.
Like what are we gonna do?
For the most part, it's fine what we're gonna do.
But there's another like, I would say 49% of the time,
I'm like, all right, what are we gonna do?
That other 51% of the time, I'm like,
why is this not going the way we planned it?
And that just, that's not how life works.
You know, life is going to give you pivots
and that's something that I have to work on
to make sure that when those moments,
those plot twists happen, those moments occur,
that I just say, you know what, this is beyond my control,
how can we fix it?
If I was to give you an example of a plot twist
that I've had to
bounce back from,
let's see,
besides the New York Fashion Week moment
where I had to, we had to figure out
what to do within like three hours.
My very first fashion week, my day one clothes,
left in Atlanta, having to figure it out.
And that was, when I tell y'all,
that was like one of the worst weeks.
And I use the word worst very loosely.
We had just dropped a live show and I promise you like
every single day something was going wrong.
You know, the tickets were selling,
but I have my sweeties on Patreon
where there are certain things
that are supposed to go to them first.
Things were being leaked that wasn't getting to them.
And I'm telling them one thing
and I'm confirming with my team.
And then other things that happened
that's beyond their control.
They've sent explicit instructions
on how this works in the crystal Rene world.
I'm just like, what is happening?
Like, why is nothing going right? And I feel like every day that week in my my suites can attest like every day that week it
was something and then that Friday we get to New York we land and the guy was like all right we
got six bags but I'm seeing a seventh bag in the queue but it's not here and I'm like
seventh bag in the queue but it's not here and I'm like what what no no it's gotta be there we were at the airport an hour and a half before we left I paid
extra for Delta VIP why is my bag not on this plane and I'm they were like ma'am I
have no idea but we appreciate your diamond medallion status and we're gonna
figure it out and um shout out Delta cause y'all did figure it out.
I appreciate y'all.
But it was one of those moments where I had to pivot.
And you think about it, like this is a dream come true.
Like I'm getting to do my first New York Fashion Week
and my clothes don't make it.
That was a moment, shout out to Shana,
who she was so calm and she's like, it's okay.
Cause like a year or two before the same thing happened to
her when she went to Paris Fashion Week. So she knew how to pivot.'s like, it's okay. Cause like a year or two before the same thing happened to her
when she went to Paris fashion week.
So she knew how to pivot.
So I'm grateful for that.
Another situation in my life where I had to pivot
would probably be
on set.
Okay. Let's take to set work.
We're on set.
We're moving 90 miles a minute.
Super fast.
It's a very intense, Herman.
You can attest to this, how fast we move at TPS.
Very intense.
Like the speed of lightning.
The speed of lightning.
And you've gone through every single look
and you know, okay, for this outfit,
if I'm gonna be in this outfit for two weeks, baby,
this the one.
And you get in that dressing room
and that's the wrong outfit.
And you're like, you know what I'm saying?
Not your most favorite outfit.
And you got to wear it and you're like,
I gotta be in this for two weeks.
And they don't have time to get the outfit
from the dream building.
You know what I'm saying?
That's a moment where it's like,
you just gotta swallow it and pivot and be like,
all right, I just gotta wear this outfit.
Gotta make it work.
And it's because you do like take your character
so seriously and you know the clothes that you just,
cause there's certain pieces that just hit, you know,
and you want to wear that piece the longest.
And that's happened a few times,
but then you also have to understand the culture and how fast we're moving
where you got to give grace.
That's where grace has to be extended.
And it's like, OK, we're not saving lives here.
It's not the end of the world.
Like it's just the outfit, but it's the outfit.
So that's another moment of like, I feel like we're having to
to pivot and make things work.
Yeah. What about you?
Has there been any moments in your life
where you had to like,
where God threw you a plot twist and you had to pivot?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
God has thrown so many,
so many tools for me to pivot.
I'm not gonna name one specifically. Okay. but earlier when I was prepping your wardrobe
for today and I was doing all of these things, I was saying to myself, TPS, Tyler Perry Studios, studios prepared me for this for so many things because you have to you have to
be able to wear so many hats and you have to adjust it you have to move at
the speed of lightning but at the same time you have to be like perfect because
you can't mess up oh my, and I was grateful for that journey this morning.
Oh, I love that.
That is so true.
Like when I think about our time at TPS and like, man, if we had done like a reality
show, remember at one point they were like doing a show during COVID, if they had an
air like to see,
that's the real show.
The real show is behind the scenes y'all.
And like seeing how we pivot.
And if you take that and apply it to real life,
there are so many life lessons
that we learned through work there.
And I think one thing,
there's many things that I'm grateful for Tyler for,
but his work ethic and how he pushed us and stretched us and like it was like the pressure of that diamonds being made
we were diamonds in the rough there it was like you said it it feels like we
are saving lives no it's a lot of money on the line a lot of listen how much
money was so crazy crazy crazy amounts of money every second like a lot of money on the line. A lot of, listen. Every second is. How much money, it was something crazy.
Crazy.
Crazy amounts of money.
Every second.
Like a lot of money a minute, a second.
It's like brewing down.
Yeah, when he breaks it down, you be like.
Yeah.
You know what, we got it, sorry.
No, that's so true.
I love that.
Thank you for timing in Herman.
All right.
I think that's it.
That's good, that's it. That was good. I like this.
