What's up and we uh have with us today the founder and ceo of minions training um as well as you have a podcast right minions motivation yes sir yes uh certified fitness trainer yeah just you know mental health mental health guru, just a little bit of everything under his belt. No, just a little bit. We know you're, like, aspiring to be an NFL player, correct? Yeah, yeah. So I just graduated from college last year,
Starting point is 00:02:15 but I have another year of eligibility due to COVID. So it's like I still got to stay in shape, training, and run my businesses, and it's a lot. But, you know, that's what you got to do to make it. But we're making it. We are making it. Yes. So really quickly, I guess you can start it, but go ahead and tell us a little bit more about yourself.
Starting point is 00:02:38 Yeah, thank you so much. It's an honor to be on this show. My name is Dominion. It's Ichibweze. So I'm originally from Nigeria. I was born there, moved to the U.S. when I was six and a half. And then, you know, just been living life right now. I'm currently a personal trainer, web developer, social media marketer.
Starting point is 00:02:54 I have a podcast called Media Motivation. I'm an R&B singer and rapper. Dominion on all available platforms. Album coming out in two weeks, May 27th. So definitely tap into that. That was a lot of words that went by really fast. I get used to it. I get used to it.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Because it's like, you get in a routine. Like, okay, say this, and say this, and say this. I know. I know. And it's like, you got to just roll through it. Or, you know. You got to. I get it.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Look, it's like at the end of the day, Dominion, Renaissance, man. We got it. Appreciate that. Yeah, it's pretty funny. Well, to me, it was funny that you used Minion because within our group, I actually am a cancer survivor. But I have a major chemical imbalance because of it. And which causes me to be very very emotional so anytime my emotions are going crazy i always talk about how my minions
Starting point is 00:03:52 my minions are raging because that's exactly what they are it's like these little yellow joints inside of me doing what the hell they want to do so then uh what i what i checked out your stuff and it was like minion motivation minion train and i was like dang okay minion apparel finnis clothing line yeah so why minion um it was just it was easy rolled off the tongue um and like when you talk from a marketing perspective like when you look at big corporations big companies big names nike google you know all these you know conglomerates you want something easy for people to remember and minion is so easy to remember and you know there's a lot of marketing tactics i can do with just minion and um so it just it just came so naturally and that
Starting point is 00:04:41 was a blessing to have you know that that name that brand and what it is today be so be what it is you know yeah cool well i used it first so you know he said the album is dropping in two weeks so when he blows up remember be more we gotta keep track now because when minions start blowing up... I got you, I got you. Alright, cool. I mean, I just wanna advertise a t-shirt or something. You know, like, just let me be in, like, a magazine or something.
Starting point is 00:05:15 You gotta just... This, uh... Wait, wait, wait. This got your name. This got your name on it right here. Let me know where I can send it. I got you. All right. Okay. Let me know where I can send it.
Starting point is 00:05:28 I will definitely email you this once this is over. So, of course, this is our second year in podcasting. People know this year we'll focus on mental health. Last year we kind of did prison reform, which was necessary. We don't think the world wasn't ready for the conversation we were having. So, this year we decided to switch platforms Going to mental health Basically because we're all crazy
Starting point is 00:05:50 Let's learn from other people's experiences Somewhere down the line Oh whatever You're crazy You are crazy I remember one time a man told me He said does a crazy person know that they're crazy And I said no And he said of course a crazy person know that they're crazy?
Starting point is 00:06:06 And I said, no. And he said, of course they don't. They have much better things to do. Also true. Right. Very true. So. Right.
Starting point is 00:06:19 I got better things to do to acknowledge craziness. Craziness. But cool. Let's go into your story a little bit. So know that you talk a lot about um not i guess being born without not breathing when you were born yeah so um when i was born i was born um yeah not breathing my alveolus the little balls in your lungs for people who don't know um was not we're not we're not working properly so immediately i was put on a respirator um and then you know thank God I'm here.
Starting point is 00:06:47 So, you know, just like off. Like, I'm a big faith guy, too. Like, you know, God is in the center of my life. Everything I do, the music, football, business, everything. So it's like when I started to grow up and started to mature physically and spiritually, like, you know, just having that understanding of the devil being after me from just birth, right? And, like, you know, when you want to tear down a skyscraper, tear down a big building, you send explosives. You don't throw little-ass rocks, right?
Starting point is 00:07:11 So just having that understanding, like, was, like, the, you know, initial drive to just keep me going on all the shit I'm doing, right? So that was huge for me, like, when I had that, you know, realization. But, yeah, I was born dead. I guess if people could wake up dead that you could be born you know you know so yeah yeah yeah um so that was that was different experience and um I'm just blessed to be able to use that experience um to help other people as well like we were talking about mental health and you know that's like uh I just I just lost two of my friends, you know, two months ago, went to suicide, one got killed by a car accident. So it's like just having, you know, appreciate that, having that understanding, like this life is so temporary, like just like that. And there were young guys, you know, 23, 24, one was in the NFL, Dwayne Haskins. I it's like, you know, it's not like I lost people who were like 95 years old, you know, who lived a great life.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Like they're in their 20s. Like we're just starting our lives. So, you know, for me, it was just like such an eye opener. Like, you know, not like I was slacking before, but hey, bro, like this, this, this is very temporary. You have to keep the foot on the gas at all times in everything you're doing. And just to be able to help other people see that because most people, they wake up and they just go through a lot and they cheer, which is fine, like, you know, it's his own. But if you're trying
Starting point is 00:08:35 to get it, if you're trying to be that greatness, be the goat that we all scroll through and like and retweet, if you want to be that kind of person, I always tell people there's two kind of people in this world, regardless of economic status, regardless of race, whatever. There's two different people in this world.
Starting point is 00:08:51 People who watch and people who get watched. People who scroll all fucking day and people who are, who they're scrolling, right? So it's like you pick what you want to spend your time.
Starting point is 00:09:01 And again, like, you know, the things and experiences God has blessed me with um i'm able to share that um to touch different kind of people in different kind of perspectives yeah that's what's up and it's crazy because it's like you're reading my mind a little bit because we're going we was going to go into the face part next and i was like you let me ask a question you know what i'm saying like i know you were just tight or whatever but um yeah y'all tight or whatever but um We just tight Tight tight tight Right Yeah
Starting point is 00:09:25 Y'all tight or whatever But can we not prophesize In the middle of this podcast We got a job to do okay And And That's part of our question So we're gonna ask it
Starting point is 00:09:34 Like you didn't mention Nothing about it Alright okay back Because I think I had it Like really cool So We're gonna go Wait that's what
Starting point is 00:09:40 That's what Oh About your faith I lost you I lost you It It's okay. No, you can. You didn't lose me. I was trying to be funny. It worked.
Starting point is 00:09:52 It did work because I was like, wait. Well, anyway. Right. I know that you're really rooted and grounded in your faith. Has that always been that way or is that something new? No, no, no. I want to say it's new, but it's like I was raised in a Christian household.
Starting point is 00:10:12 But obviously, you know, I wasn't like following Jesus. You know, I was just like I believe in God and believe in Jesus, obviously. But I was, you know, doing my own thing. Like I grew up very, very treacherously. Like when we moved here, obviously, from Nigeria to America, the currency differentiation is completely different. For every $1 here, it's $1.50 there. So, like, in my parents' degrees and in transfer,
Starting point is 00:10:32 my dad was a lab scientist for the military, and my mom was a teacher. So it's like you have to start from scratch. There were nobody. Money was, we lived in, you know, church families, basements. So by the time we got on on our feet we're you know everybody got a two two bedroom apartment it was like five of us and then um my parents had another boy uh my other brother so i know my grandmother came so it's like seven of us two bedroom in the hood you know you can imagine how that went so i was like adjusting to america like i had a thick
Starting point is 00:11:02 accent i was like really short I was really chubby. They said I smelled funny. It was just a whole fucking trip. You know what I'm saying? So just everything you could imagine, all the bullying, all the bullshit, I experienced it. That's what I'm saying because as pure as kids can be, they're also purely evil sometimes. Purely. Purely because, yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:23 So yeah, that was something else that you had to overcome, like a lot of bullying and those kind of things. So much, so much. I can imagine just being different, you know. It's like kids don't understand that, especially back in those days, even though you're only 22. But still, I feel like it's a lot easier now because of the Internet to accept people from another culture.
Starting point is 00:11:42 But back then, you know, it was like like go back to africa you know i we used to hear growing up i was i was originally a new yorker we moved to virginia and people used to tell me like go back to your country and i'm like i'm puerto rican like this is my country you know and i know if i heard that and i feel like i'm pale as hell like i could fit in in the club a little bit um right then yeah it definitely had to be weird for you so how was that trying to overcome the bullying so so um i mean so like coming from nigeria right like physically it was it was a very weird dynamic because physically if so i was we didn't have we don't have police it's a militant government state
Starting point is 00:12:23 so you know military running around with nks all day like you know the town handles shit like if something happens within the community like the town will handle it you know what i'm saying like the town will handle it so there's no police and it's like there was like people there like are different there's no like bullying you're saying it's like if anything people get in a fight and that's it so coming to america it was like i was experiencing a lot of emotional abuse at first and i was like i handled that a little weird right and i'm thinking like like bro you're like you've seen you know you've seen crazy things like why are you tripping over somebody calling your name you're not having fun but then when i
Starting point is 00:13:02 like started to grow and it became physical like it was like both these dynamics coming together like these two different avenues coming together and i'm i'm getting it all at once that's where it was like i was a christian but like i was so focused on surviving my day just living where we're living first of all just survive like literally physically surviving and then going to school, surviving there, coming home, getting out. I used to go to school. I used to get beat up. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:29 I used to get bullied. And like, when I say beat up, I like jumped like four or five people. Right. Right. And then I get suspended for fighting. Right.
Starting point is 00:13:36 Of course. Of course. And then go home, get my ass beat multiple times for getting suspended for fighting. You know what I'm saying? And then, so you just imagine a kid like, what the fuck? I didn't do nothing wrong.
Starting point is 00:13:47 You know? There's no way that you can comprehend. My mind wasn't even like, you know what I'm saying, at that level to understand the capacity of what's going on. And this was like, this was going on for a while. I went to summer school not because I was dumb, because I missed so many days of being suspended
Starting point is 00:14:04 from being fucked up in school. Like, you know what I'm saying? So it was, you know, but it was, and I tell this to everybody, like, you know, God gave it to me for a reason. He knew I could handle that.
Starting point is 00:14:13 You know what I'm saying? And he knew I could turn that into three businesses and all this other shit. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, now I'm grateful for it, obviously. Right.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Enduring that in the moment, I wasn't. So my faith definitely came in high school. First year, like, when I started playing football, and I was like, God, I just want to excel at this. You know, I started getting good, and it was the first time I was receiving praise, and people liked me, people wanted to be friends,
Starting point is 00:14:40 and da-da-da, and all that BS. And I was like, you know, I personally just enjoyed the sport. I just like fucking people up and not getting trouble for it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah and all that BS. And I was like, you know, I personally just enjoyed the sport. I just like fucking people up and not get in trouble for it. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. That makes sense. You need something to do with all that anger now. I needed something.
Starting point is 00:14:53 You got a place to put it. Yeah. I got a place to put it. And, you know, it was like, it was great. Like, it was like, like I said, the first time I was getting acknowledged, like, I never got acknowledged. Like, I get home. You know what I'm saying? So it was like, first time people were like, you know, good job, bro. Like, you know, good play and whatever. And like first time people like you know good job bro like you know good playing whatever and i'm like wow this was
Starting point is 00:15:08 amazing like started having friends like first time i could say like friends you know what i'm saying and this is like as a as a kid as a 13 14 year old boy like this is the first time experiencing like real like happiness and like acceptance like you can just imagine you know all the emotions all this stuff like so that's when i was like you know really imagine you know all the emotions all the stuff like so that's when i was like you know really really starting to reach out to christ and like i want to develop my relationship um and then obviously there's levels and it just progressed throughout life and throughout different seasons you know so that's how i'm sorry i get longer than sometimes no no no no it's fine It's fine. It's fine. I do too. So I'm like, Hey, someone else is the one that's talking. We good.
Starting point is 00:15:48 Be more look at me like, okay, shut up. Next question. So you don't, you don't see that little eye movement. She do, but I see it. That's why she, that's why she hit what she was in. So she can chill out. Right. Right. Cause she didn't calm her ass down. There's her getting her Jesus in her life. For some reason I am feeling attacked right now oh I'm sorry
Starting point is 00:16:08 we just chatting and that's basically it's a chat but look while we're chatting so it's even though it's not today when people actually
Starting point is 00:16:17 see this video so the day you're watching this it's B-more's birthday and she is the big four zero damn you looking good for 40 years happy birthday B-more's birthday. She is the big 4-0.
Starting point is 00:16:25 Damn, you looking good from 40-0 up. Happy birthday. You got any plans? B-more, you can go ahead and tell her, girl. Tell her, I'm old enough to be your mama. Come on, girl. Tell her. Hey, my ex was 37. I don't want to hear that.
Starting point is 00:16:40 I will not. I don't want to hear that. Look, I just want to hear her say it. I will not. I will not. Look, I just want to hear her say it. I will not. I don't want to be your mama. I will not. I will not. I will not.
Starting point is 00:16:51 I will not. Look, I'm going to be the friend that says, child, she old enough to be your mama. Child, I don't give a fuck. Right, right. And honestly, it's just joking because she's 40 and i turned 41st so like she ragged the hell out of me not the hell the big four zeros it wasn't even that bad wasn't even that bad yeah look now getting back to serious conversation because we're gonna go from that and i going to ask you about your friend committing suicide. How? I know.
Starting point is 00:17:25 Shut up, B-Boy. It's so great. My transition. Like, you just turned into a whole party pooper, just so you know. Just so you know. Just so you know. Well, it is a mental health podcast. It is.
Starting point is 00:17:38 You are absolutely right. You know, it's unfortunate. I don't know who you're speaking of because when you say NFL, like, no, I don't know anything about sports. In your speech, though, I finally learned the reason for the NFL and it's to help people control their anger. So God had a plan when he created the AFL because all that money. And I'd be like, oh, it's useless. Sorry to someone who loves the sport. I mean, and like, you you know a lot of people i just
Starting point is 00:18:05 don't like the camaraderie you know right as well you know building those relationships and those trusts and you know and it's really like to like like if you look first of all you look at nfl's 80 black and um 95 came from poverty like it yeah it's like it's still modern day slavery that's how i look at it you know i'm saying right uh captain made a great video of how like you know back in the days to slaves and how they test us now and it was like i was i seemed like oh i was like oh shit this is so true but it's like i don't care they're paying me millions of dollars to do this thing i can take care of my family family families friends friends like you know i'm saying it's not the same as you know being a regular slave and I'm gay. Right. You know?
Starting point is 00:18:48 So, you know, it's a work in progress. Everything's a work in progress, especially in this country that we're living in. Definitely. As minorities, as a black person, like, we got to take what we can get. They give us millions of dollars to take some pigskin and run it down the damn field. You know? I'll take that for now. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:19:03 I'll take that for now. Exactly. You know, but my issue, too issue too though as i grew up naturally feminine i was just you you woke up look you was born dead i was born you know with a a natural twitch i don't know it was something but it was natural so my whole life i've been feminine so i never got invited to play football and i guess that's where like my little animosity comes in because it's like. Well, I'm sorry. Those people were fucked up. They were assholes.
Starting point is 00:19:27 I would have been like. Right, right, right. I feel you. Trust me. I never played a lot of sports because, you know, we're talking about me being feminine. In the, you know, 80s, 90s. I didn't want to say that. In the 80s, 90s in New York City.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Yeah, like 90s. I wasn't getting invited to play no sports you know and it was funny i went through teasing i didn't really go through bullying which would it's which sounds weird when people listen to my story because they're like damn people didn't bully you and i'm like damn that's fucked up you want people to bully me but you know but i did go i mean i've been you know people called me the fag and you know I went through all that like kind of teasing but you know I never got beat up for it or anything like that so I guess my little journey has been different um but swinging back around to the suicide thing and the reason why I say that is you're actually like the third person I spoke to
Starting point is 00:20:19 probably in the last two weeks that has known a young person that's committed suicide. And I guess I wanted to ask, like, what do you think that mind frame is? Like, why are people, you know, in your opinion, why are people doing these things? I don't even know. It was a shock to me when I found out. I was just like, I was just getting back from, I had a great day that day. I remember the day. I had a phenomenal day.
Starting point is 00:20:48 And I went out. I don't usually go out, you know what I'm saying? But I went out that night and came home and then, you know, so I switched me to chillin' and that's what I'm seeing. Like, you know, this picture, I play football with him. So I'm seeing this picture and I'm like, what the fuck going on? I take some of my homeboys like, you know, this picture. I play football with him, so I'm seeing this picture. I'm like, what the fuck is going on? I text one of my homeboys, like, yo.
Starting point is 00:21:09 And then he told me the news. I'm like, yo, don't tell me that. It's like, he just said he had passed. I texted my other homeboy, like, what happened? And then it was a couple minutes, and I got it, you know, like, how he passed and then every time i opened the seat at times i just like fell and you know emotionally i couldn't you know this this and this guy like you know typical like you wouldn't have expected to happen
Starting point is 00:21:36 funny guy always goofing oh my least the group got in the team room and practice like you're saying like and you know projected to go to nfl like you know he's gonna be set you know what I'm saying? Like, and, you know, projected to go to NFL, like, you know, he's going to be set, you know what I'm saying? Like, so, you know, it was like, this man has all the opportunities, sit in front of him, like I said, projected to go to NFL, you know, he's going to be set financially, family's going to be good,
Starting point is 00:21:58 you know, what could, like, and me just know him, everybody know him, like, positive guy, like, just think, like, think of, like, someone like think of like like something someone like my energy like just always speaking like funny everything like that's how he was like didn't be for nobody nobody had problems with this kid always getting invited to parties always showing up with a smile on his face like and it's like like like you know and what really hit me was i was just in this he was in charlotte i was just i was just finished recording my album and i was just in charlotte didn't think to hit him up didn't
Starting point is 00:22:28 think to say yo what's up man i'm in your city like i was just i was focused on getting the album done and some other like i wasn't focused on you know him that's what really got me was that you know i came home and then i was in the city you know my mind is like yo i could hit him up and he couldn't buy oh like you know come through mind is like, yo, I could hit him up and he can buy. Oh, you know, come through. Yeah. And I would have came through for sure. Like, what?
Starting point is 00:22:49 That's my that's my guy. I would have came through like, you know, you know, show me your place. So in my mind, I'm thinking like, you know, and that's how because I do what I do to help people at the end of the day. Yeah. You know, I got this business and, you know, we, you know, we're businessmen and women and we understand, you know, it's a digital game, but we do what we do for for helping people right and i'm like i'm supposed to be helping people i went down there to help myself didn't think about helping nobody else but myself
Starting point is 00:23:18 i come home i get this fucked up news so my mind i'm like yo the way my mind is operating like you could have you could have you could have done something. Because that's what I feel like I was part of the world to do was help people, particularly in those kind of situations, like, fucking motivation, motivate people not to fucking kill themselves. Right, definitely, definitely. You know what I'm saying? Here I am. I can't even help
Starting point is 00:23:37 my own friend, you know? You know what I'm saying? But you know what? I mean, the crazy thing about it, though, is that you were doing what was necessary for you, which is okay. You thing about it though Is that you were doing What was necessary for you Which is okay You know It's okay for you to do
Starting point is 00:23:49 What's necessary for you But it also goes to show That we never really know Ain't nothing else in that glass We also really know Well we also never really know That we don't know What's going on in people's lives

Starting point is 00:26:02 Oh, that's how I know she study scripture. Uh-huh. That's... She don't... how I know she studies scripture. Uh-huh. She don't study no scripture. Oh, Lord. Once upon a time. We're going to move on
Starting point is 00:26:16 because we're not going to have you sinning no more on the Sabbath. You have to lie about how you read the scriptures, girl. Okay? I wasn't about to lie about that i might have used to not these particular days though you might say you might say that prayer in between those tequila shots but um you ain't reading those scriptures i only took one tequila shot last night okay so just anyway back to this tiktok But, I mean, what I was trying to say is that so many people,
Starting point is 00:26:47 and you see in their videos, they're like at what you would think is the highlight of their life, but they're posting it and say, you know, this is when I was at my lowest. And I guess my question is maybe to both of you guys, what should people do when they're at that low? You know, what is something that you do when you're feeling low to to prevent it for going further from that um well for me it's always praise everything for me like um you know and like i like i um so every time i talk about my faith
Starting point is 00:27:20 as christians is one of them you the most controversial groups in this fucking world. I'm not the Christian that judges or hates. You know what I'm saying? By the way, I have friends who do multiple crazy shit. I do crazy shit. That's why I need Jesus. Because I'm fucked up. You know what I'm saying? Let's just get that straight for the record.
Starting point is 00:27:40 Dominion is fucked up. When I'm at my lowest, prayer is definitely the foundation to try to talk to God and, you know, ask for assistance. And then it's just trying to, I try to just make myself laugh. I try to find something funny, try to treat myself, like, go get a workout or go get some, I'm a chef. I, you know, make some, you know, something nice, really, really special for myself. Because we all go through these seasons. There's nobody, whether you've got $0 in the bank or a billionaire, you're going to go through some fucked up shit.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Right, definitely. So, you know, and it's like knowing when you're at that point and knowing how to handle that is very crucial. But yeah, just for me, me, you know, prayer, music, smoking a smoking a fat j oh my goodness um that part yeah i mean that's really it i don't need much i'm not i'm not a complicated guy i don't really need much so now if you met this random person who is just at their lowest and they wanted to know how to connect with god or how to be introduced to jesus themselves what is your recommendation i would i personally would pray for them on the spot because we're two or three gathered jesus in the presence right and
Starting point is 00:28:58 especially when it's you know someone new like just just pray for them and let them feel that holy spirit feel that presence because that shit is real even like I'm talking people don't believe in God in a circle praying like yo did you feel that I'm like yeah that's the Holy Spirit you know I'm saying so it's like introducing them to that firsthand not being scared to you know to share the gospel with them and then after that prayer like hey you know go get a Bible read that's all you gotta do right when you it's the bible is the only book you read it that shit reads you right the fuck back so um that's true you can't cap um um yeah so yeah definitely just pray for him and then introduce him to the gospel and let jesus take the world because that's all i can do i can't i can't force anybody
Starting point is 00:29:44 you know, to think a certain type of way, believe a certain, like I said, I'm not those type of Christians. You believe what you want to believe. I love you regardless, you know. I don't have time to hate. So, you know, pray for everybody. And sometimes that just helps too,
Starting point is 00:29:56 just telling a person, look, I love you regardless. That really, literally saying, I just saw something about somebody was saying that, like just literally saying the words, I love you, and having the eye connection with somebody and having them really see like, yo, this person means that can literally change the trajectory of someone's life. And I think it's so powerful in today's world, especially social media, heavy world. We don't do that shit. You know, we're walking down the street like this, driving like this.
Starting point is 00:30:22 We don't have no sort of like um um genuine human interaction that shit's missing in this world and that's why this world is going away it's like shitty everywhere everywhere which is definitely that which is definitely that be more come on now since we're on such a serious subject you think you're gonna be quiet and nod and give the side eye over there but you know what i've been keeping my side eyes to myself sir um okay no honestly it was i was just over here kind of nodding and things because like what i just started remembering was you know like i go through my moments where you know i'm either you know anxious depressed just sad sometimes you know it is what it is so um i was having one of my sad days it's funny like maybe two weeks ago or so i was coming off of it kind of you know where i started to feel you know
Starting point is 00:31:16 i'm saying on the upswing of things kind of so and i went down to like my old apartment and i found maggie and so i went and found maggie and i and she's like the my old apartment, and I found Maggie. And so I went and found Maggie. And she's, like, the one person I would just go and find. Like, if I want to hug. And you know how I am, Christian. Right. I don't go seek people out and fucking hug people. I just don't do that.
Starting point is 00:31:36 You know what I'm saying? Because I don't like people up in my shit. That's just what it is. So, B-More is a medical professional, and she just moved from x-ray tech to... Interventional radiology. Right. So, that's when she said her old department. Sounds like a bunch of smart shit.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Sounds like a bunch of some nerd glasses shit in there. You did have on some nerd glasses in one of your episodes, didn't you? Sorry, go ahead. Continue. So you went and found Maggie and you got a hug.
Starting point is 00:32:08 Ain't nothing in that glass. Get you a fork. The fruit. Fork. Look, I don't want to get out. I'm in tune right now. At least he ain't in there with his damn tongue up in the glass. I mean also true
Starting point is 00:32:25 you might as well just start patting the bottom of it at this point it's so funny um no no anyway so so I went and found Maggie and it was like I literally I was like and she was like what and I literally like sat crawled
Starting point is 00:32:43 in her chair on top of her chair, and like sat in her lap and just like gave her a hug. And so, you know, we're just kind of like, you know, talking and just, you know, you know, sighing and shit. And then like I got ready to get up and she just like held my hands and she like looked me dead in my eyes and she was like, I love you. You are awesome. Everything is going to be fine.
Starting point is 00:33:08 And she was like, and we're coming over this weekend. I'm bringing my sister over and we're just going to chill and talk about life. And I was like, okay, you know what I'm saying? And so I'm not that person. Like, I don't know how to be that person, but also I'm glad that I have that type of person that I could just walk up on. Listen, I need a woohoo moment.
Starting point is 00:33:34 So, right. Right. And the moral to the story comes down. People, if you're feeling that you're low, find your person, find God or even find them both.
Starting point is 00:33:44 If God is not your person right but you know for some people who that isn't what they want and god isn't what they want there's someone out there that loves you and will listen because we're having the topic i will put the uh numbers to the suicide hotline below our episode just know there's people out there to talk to. I don't know what it's like to feel that low. I've had lows. Don't know what it's like to feel that low, but I know that people do. Find help because you're meant to be here. You should be here.
Starting point is 00:34:15 You're here for a reason. You can't determine when you need to leave. I try to tell people, like, think of, of like and this stems from me being more dead like When you know, literally like sex and like, you know It's fun like there's like billions of fucking sperm like billions like if billions and you were that one Right if you really like yeah, and that's little shot whatever it's billions and you were that fucking one that came out We just really sit down and like oh shit. I beat out a lot of motherfuckers shot whatever it's billions and you were that fucking one that came out and when you really sit down and like oh shit i beat out a lot of motherfuckers right like and people would like
Starting point is 00:34:52 you've already won like don't like you've won big you've won big so do some shit with it you know what i'm saying right right and i'm one person that knows that 13 13 year battle with cancer just and that's just a part of the story you know life has been so much crazier than that but just a 13 year battle with cancer and it's like what the fuck stop it B-more
Starting point is 00:35:15 I bro I was looking at the camera I wasn't even looking at y'all I made sure to keep my eyes focused on the camera because I saw the cup go up and then something else happened.
Starting point is 00:35:30 And then I was like, oh. In your mind, she's like, didn't I tell your ass there's nothing in that cup? Don't pick that damn cup up no more. Listen, if only she had some of this fruit and gave it 10 minutes. She gonna feel that. Okay. She gonna feel that okay she gonna feel that
Starting point is 00:35:45 that sounded like a pickup line i'm gonna use that one day if only you had some of this fruit and you see i'm wearing cherries if only you had some of this fruit no no be more i can't use a matter of fact so we're celebrating her birthday this weekend i'm gonna walk up to somebody and tell them that. Why you... Look, if only you had some of this... Where y'all at? Where y'all at? What city y'all at?
Starting point is 00:36:10 We're actually going to be in D.C. Y'all need to hit me up. Y'all need to hit me up. Okay. That's where I'm at. Y'all need to take my number and hit me up. We're supposed to be going to Babylon. We both live halfway from D.C.
Starting point is 00:36:24 She's in Virginia and I'm in New'm in new york oh yeah oh oh this is the first time usually i'm talking people are like fucking mississippian shit honestly for us really like last conversation we had our last podcast we did we were planning to go to philly and the woman we talked to was in philly rebecca yeah rebecca she was in philly so um cool let's get back on track here um the bullion when did that stop what did you do to make that stop was there any moment that it changed for you uh yeah it was i remember remember very vividly because usually like I said, I was getting
Starting point is 00:37:06 like, it was usually four, minimum, maybe, maybe, maybe three, maybe,
Starting point is 00:37:10 because it was the same group of guys. So it's usually like four, five guys getting fucked up by.
Starting point is 00:37:16 And then I just remember this one day, we're coming back, and like the leader of the group,
Starting point is 00:37:23 you know, the guy, I was just like, I'm going to fuck him up. And I usually don't fight back because I'm getting fucked up by, you know, five people. I just cover up and try not to go back with a messed up face. And I just remember, like, I was like, yo, I'm tired of your shit, bro. Like, I want the fair right now.
Starting point is 00:37:42 You know what I'm saying? And, you know, we shot it, and I fucked him up. And it was different. and that's it I didn't get more fights but it was like it wasn't three guys no more it was usually like one maybe two like yeah he's gonna fight back now you know so that was the that was a really pivotal point in my life
Starting point is 00:37:57 as a youth in my life alright his life girl all 22 22 years it's been a long it's been a long one trust me i did a lot of shit look i could think of like so many things that he wouldn't know what the hell we were talking about right name one name one you're right you're right look you put me on the spot damn i'm gonna come back with one because i had i had 22 and as soon as you asked no because i'm like you know i was thinking i was watching that i was watching that stupid medea movie the
Starting point is 00:38:30 other day yeah and um the homecoming i don't mean to call it stupid people like it but it was at the part i don't know if anybody's seen it but it was at a part where she claimed she was like rosa park that she was the reason why rosa park didn't get off the bus has anybody seen that no but and she was like I took a picture on my iPhone A or she was like my A phone cause I had no eye back then and I was just like oh god but yeah she said the real reason that
Starting point is 00:38:56 Rosa Parks didn't get off the bus was because she was gonna whoop her ass so and it started a whole civil rights movement it's pretty funny but no so like the so the town i was in so i it's in jerry's i don't even know where print their boys um so it was like growing up i used payphones like it was like we were really like behind so it was like yeah i was yeah i was i was the age i'm at but i was like did you have a pager
Starting point is 00:39:21 no but i knew people had pagers. I had the fat Bluetooth earpieces. I did have that. Do you remember two-way paging where you had to have a separate device to text, two-way paging? Yeah, I know that. I know that. And, like, all the old music, the Marvin Gayes and Max Rose. I mean, I'm an R&B singer, so I love old school cats. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:39:44 You know know Carl Thomas All that Yeah yeah So Look once again A renaissance man He does it all We will definitely put
Starting point is 00:39:51 All your information On this episode And definitely You know support your album And post about it And talk about it And make sure that people Go check it out
Starting point is 00:40:00 So that way When you become famous You can give us Some free tickets or something Look man Y'all got my damn info Look when you become famous you could give us some free tickets or something look man y'all got my damn info look when you when you open for beyond when you open for beyonce i mean this summer okay so i may be i may open up a g-car boat it's a little little little little little plug it but uh so just pray for that to stay in line And not collapse
Starting point is 00:40:26 Right, right, definitely I'm not a praying man yet I'm working on it It's all good, brother It's pretty funny I grew up in a Catholic household So, you know We went and did the communions
Starting point is 00:40:42 And the confirmations Well, my brothers did I never did because I didn't like You know, we went and did, like, the communions and the confirmations. Well, my brothers did. I never did because I didn't like the Bible study school classes that you had to go to. Because I had questions that people didn't ask, you know? Right, right. And so because I asked these weird questions, someone could give me answers. And then they would, like, scold me for asking good questions.
Starting point is 00:41:03 And it's like... That's the problem with the church. Right, right, right. And that's kind of what happened because it messed me up because it's like how can you want me to believe in something that you can't tell me everything about or that you can't point me in the direction to find everything that i need to find that every time i hear something like that bro like really like honestly like no jokes inside this shit breaks my heart and um that's why i try to be like i feel like that's part of the reason like why i because i don't if you listen to my music like i talk about that a lot i talk about you know my less problems with women i talk about a whole bunch of shit and i don't like people ask me like what do you label like i just label myself r&b singer i don't want to label myself christian
Starting point is 00:41:36 because i don't want to be right in the box like i only have to talk about god no i'm going to talk about me smoking we're going to talk about life you know what i'm saying so i can relate to people and they can see like this is a really genuine guy. And he just, yeah, he believes in God. But, like, I want them to see the spirit of God in me. Like, God came here. Jesus came here to love people. God is who the fuck you were, what the fuck you do, what the fuck you like.
Starting point is 00:41:55 You know what I'm saying? At the end of the day, the church is missing that aspect of really being human with people and, like, not judging people. I grew up with that shit like my father so i i generally hate that shit you know what i'm saying right so yeah let's get a drink but you know what i think that's what kind of like messed me up for like the rest of my life where like i need concrete you know it's like i couldn't i couldn't put any faith in anything that i couldn't touch or see you know but it goes beyond the church you know now it's like I couldn't I couldn't put any faith in anything that I couldn't touch or see, you know, but it goes beyond the church.
Starting point is 00:42:27 You know, now it comes to love and friendship and just everything, because if I don't have a concrete representation, then what you're saying ain't true. You know, but to me, it did start in the church because you talk to me so much about Jesus. And then it's like everything about Christ was negative you know because you were going to be punished for your sins you know or you know remember he you know God did this and you know you have to fear God and you know people didn't explain to me that it should have been a reverence so you know I'm fearing God like I fear Freddy Krueger you know because that's what they're telling me I need to have a fear of God you, and it's like sometimes it's just explaining it differently. Now, when I learned that Jesus was a real person and they can actually prove that he was a real person, my concept of Christ changed.
Starting point is 00:43:19 You know, and he just became this incredible man to me. Now I'm still on my journey to figure out what happens next you know so it's cool uh uh explaining this or us having this dialect in this conversation because it's necessary for sure um i know there's people that feel the same way i do like it's like if i can't see you you know i remember one time telling somebody like i want to have a conversation with god like come and talk to me you know me and you both but then it's funny because i remember her words to me she said um you're not special enough like what makes you think that god's gonna come speak to you and i was like is that someone out is that something i want to serve then because if i'm not special why should i serve and follow you that's fine that's fine yeah i always tell people this.
Starting point is 00:44:06 We can't see the wind. You can't see it. You can't touch that shit, but you can feel that motherfucker. You know when it's windy outside. There's multiple metaphors for that same exact circumstance, but there's a lot of things in this world that we cannot see. We cannot hear. We cannot touch. We cannot taste.
Starting point is 00:44:23 None of our senses can operate it right but it's it's there right so it's it's it's like you said it's how the church brings it about how the church is communicating christ and they really have to work on that um that's why i never like my father was a pastor i never wanted that position i never wanted to preach i never wanted to pulpit because i know myself like i said i'm a sinner i'm fucked up so i never want to be in a position where that's why i love my podcast because i feel like i'm talking to people as dominion like i'm talking to them on a base level like we're friends like this where you know we're having a conversation and we're just chatting not where i'm like above you and i'm you know i i really like something in me just doesn't like that right and i really
Starting point is 00:45:02 appreciate god giving me giving me that spirit where it's like no i don't want to just talk to you like let's go let's go get a drink and talk about christ you know let's smoke a j and talk about christ for sure for sure look that's the time to talk about it because i'm gonna beat this hell like we have any difficulties and shit like girl i'm telling you i'm telling you like like how is the moon the sun on fire and there's no oxygen in space? Explain this to me. I like this guy. Be more known.
Starting point is 00:45:32 I'll come up with some left. We know how fast light travels. How fast does dark travel? Why are we not studying this shit? You know what I'm saying? Then it's like I think of this shit and it sticks with me because it's so true and shit right so like i have that high thought yeah and now i'm over here thinking
Starting point is 00:45:54 but dark is only the absence of light so would it actually travel or it don't matter there has to be a measurement for it though there has to be a measurement for it, though. There has to be a measurement for it. That is true. I've never, like, I used to be really good at science. We've never talked about any kind of metrical aspect of darkness. It was only light. I mean, honestly, you got to think about it. Because dark is only the absence of light. So it's not even like a real thing without. But in a spiritual aspect, darkness is such a negative thing.
Starting point is 00:46:22 Yeah. You know, people who have darkness People who are dark you know It's the darkness in them when you see evil spirits They're dark you know so it's like Okay explain this to me explain this dark to me Once again because I'm concrete But it isn't until I'm high Oh yeah
Starting point is 00:46:36 That I start thinking about This shit and I be like I can sit down be more or no cause she always Says I'll fuck up her high Because she's trying to like chill on her shit but i'm trying to have like this deep conversation so so so we need to definitely because i'm i'm i'm like both i can definitely like if i'm on my low side i can just move and chill out and especially when i need to relax but i'm my brain operates that way. Like when I make music, when I do different creative shit,
Starting point is 00:47:07 not that I need a J, but when I have a J, everything is clear. I'm having these lots of internal conversations. So we can both really have different conversations. You know what I'm saying? But you know what? It's in that state that I started to realize
Starting point is 00:47:22 that I need to find God. And I felt like it was in that state realizing that it started with me. You know, if I better understand myself, then I will better understand God. It's like, stop looking outside. Start looking within. Right. That's fire. That's fire.
Starting point is 00:47:37 Yeah. Look, don't get me started. Go ahead. Get started. No, please. Don't get him started. She said no. Oh Oh I'm sorry my bad Was it the side eye
Starting point is 00:47:50 It's okay You know what We here you know what I'm saying I'll tell you about it You know what that's why I make sure that she is on These podcasts cause she does keep me like Back on track she be like okay come on Get back on track. She's like, okay, come on. Get back on track.
Starting point is 00:48:07 The moral of that story, people, is smoke weed. It helps. If you like to, you should do that. I was being a bully right there. I was being a bully. Don't pressure anyone to do anything.
Starting point is 00:48:24 If they would like to try it, then as long as you're of age, you should try it. Right. Absolutely. 100 percent agree. Or it's so funny. A friend of mine just found out that his 14 year old daughter, like she came home from work smoking and and it's like she probably took some of your shit. Like you do shit everywhere like if you smoking in front of your kids that much and yeah like you always say like they should do what i say and not what i do but yeah but no that shit don't work but then you want us to look it's like lead by example also you know i'm saying right right if like if that's the example you give me then um i can't be mad when you 14 year old smoking which is another reason why I ain't having no kids
Starting point is 00:49:05 but because I ain't got time also true I'm well you know what Brandy you actually have really good kids Melinda is like awesome Brandy has like a teenager now and yeah but her daughter is really awesome I'm just scared for the moment that she wants to wear makeup or mini dresses some shit i'm like i cannot wait for that conversation because you know some shit you don't want in your lifetime okay no i didn't start wearing inappropriate shit until i was older i was just kind of i was kind of like she was i was in between every now and again i kind of want to be cute but most of the times it's just about being you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:49:46 Stylish and comfortable. I know. I know. I'm going to say about 10 years ago, you went through that whole phase. Yeah. It was serious. It was serious. I'm going to have to show you some pictures.

Starting point is 00:52:44 of life went through a lot of hardship and turmoil and all those kind of things that I needed something to change. So I took all my belongings and everything that could fit into my little Nissan Altima. I packed it up and drove 10 hours and stopped and decided this is where I'm going to live. I didn't know anybody. I didn't have a job, but I knew I'm going to live. I didn't know anybody. I didn't have a job. But I knew I needed to get away. So I packed up everything I had, moved, and it's been like the best thing in my life. And I know, B-More, you hate for me
Starting point is 00:53:13 to say that because I do love and miss you so much, girl, but I had to do it for me. Hey, B-More, I will never change. I will never leave you. Okay. I appreciate that. And neither will Christ. And neither will Christ.

Starting point is 00:54:12 hold up what the fuck okay okay she she has ships but they don't start with relations Hold up You know what Alright so That's what we're doing Okay so cool cool cool And on that note It's been a wonderful Podcast guys I'm so happy No no we can't end it
Starting point is 00:54:40 Tell me what we can't do First of all Okay look We thank you guys for watching No, we can't end it. Okay, we're going to get back on subject. Tell me what we can't do. First of all, okay, look, we thank you guys for watching. They're going to be like, these fools just got up here and talked the whole time. But we did talk about some mental health stuff, so we kind of got it in there. But let's talk about Dominion, the brand. How can people reach you? What should they know about you?
Starting point is 00:55:11 Go ahead and now's the time to promote yourself more and maybe not so quickly like you did last time my fault so people could get it this time yeah so you can find me you're gonna put the words on the screen this stuff usually don't you yeah yeah i'm gonna have all the links up there but go ahead and give it to the people okay yeah so my site um minion training.com that's. That's MinionTraining.com. You can access me. All my social media links are there. My Facebook, my Instagram, that's all Minion Training. TikTok, Minion Training. Pinterest, Minion Training. For my music, just type in Dominion, all caps, on all available streaming platforms.
Starting point is 00:55:41 Podcast is Minion Motivation and all available podcast platforms. Again, all that is all on my site. If you just go to MinionTraining.com you can find basically everything I do. That's it. Go to MinionTraining.com Go to MinionTraining.com and then as far as your podcast, what's the motivation for your podcast?
Starting point is 00:56:00 What content can you expect? Basically, I talk about mental health and i try to focus on purpose i'm big on purpose um because i feel like if you don't have purpose you're not living your life um purpose and encapsulates everything about like living a fulfilled life right like you can see people who are not on purpose yeah they they may be making millions of dollars and they still end up killing themselves versus people who make five dollars a day and they have a smile on their face every day. And they're, you know, constantly giving positive energy into the world.
Starting point is 00:56:31 So I really try to help people find their purpose and, you know, maximize that purpose. Like, you know, I get told like, oh, like, you know, you're doing all these different things. Are you sure you don't want to focus on one of them? Like, no, fuck you. God didn't give you all the things he's given me. He's given to me for a reason because i can maximize all these different things and you know spread more value than somebody who can only do one thing that's not talking down on them that's just the capacity you're at i'm in a different you know capacity so um yeah that's where that's that's
Starting point is 00:56:58 what i you know talk about my podcast um helping people find their purpose i just talk about my life i talk about the shit i go through i talk about how it can relate to other people and how people can pull value and experiences from what I go through. So they don't have to go through that same shit I did. So yeah, all that again, there's on my site at mini training.com. You guessed it.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Yeah. I was like, Oh yeah, let me, I went on Instagram and hit the follow button. Oh, you just follow me. Okay,
Starting point is 00:57:24 cool. I will follow you back. Look, okay. I had a slow moment and here go my high moment then have one because it's like dominion minion you get it i just clicked for me it just clicked for me okay at least it clicked listen when you asked like about um like about how he figured out his name i was like it's just a shortened version of his name right but i was like oh my god okay maybe you're okay you know why because i always think of my minions you know i'm saying i always think about my minion so like okay people it's just a short version of his name. That's it. But, and look, oh my God, I'm so slow. I was like,
Starting point is 00:58:07 your answer was like nothing special. And I was like, why me? And he gave me an answer, but it was like, I thought it was going to be deep as shit, right? Nope, not at all I thought it would be this deep Like he was about to like drop some shit
Starting point is 00:58:29 On us You know what I'm saying He was about to like You know It was gonna be relatable And I was over here like Why the fuck did you ask that dumbass question Yo y'all hilarious right
Starting point is 00:58:45 I don't think I've ever hit this much on a damn interview oh my god you're right because you know laughter is life so you know while we try to work out all these fucking feelings you know laughter is a really good thing
Starting point is 00:59:01 you guys have to keep it light I guess really quickly what are some of the things you do to take people on their journey to find their purpose without giving away any of your trade secrets there's not really many secrets it's just literally having a conversation with people like for me like what I found is like usually your purpose is in line with your passion so like what are you passionate what are you like what can't you go a day without thinking of it we're doing like that's that's most like 99 of time where your purpose is lying is where your passion lies that's how that's what god does like he puts it where like you can't go without doing like you can't go without helping people get better or talking about something positive like that's usually you know where your purpose is and your purpose is probably more of a um a deeper topic than you know what your passion
Starting point is 00:59:51 is um but they're definitely heavily connected so that's what i found you know helping people on that journey by finding their purpose and it has nothing to do with minions people has nothing to do with absolutely nothing oh my god i feel like i need to go back and like edit that part of this video no absolutely not you have to leave it absolutely not because i'm over here thinking right like damn i just thought i just knew the answer was gonna be deep and he's looking at you looking at me like in the 16th century Right Like back in Nigeria You know what I'm saying You was about to get deep on me
Starting point is 01:00:32 You know Before we migrated To the US when I was 6 You know like Come on yo And then any between you talking It was like I saw the word as you were speaking. And it was like Dominion, Minion.
Starting point is 01:00:50 It was when you said all capital. It was like Dominion, Spotify. And I was like, Dominion. Damn. So anyway, I don't mind being slow for a little bit. I don't mind being slow for a little bit. I don't mind being slow for a little bit. It's all good. You know, but I recently just had one of my low days where I thought I was going to quit my job the other day.
Starting point is 01:01:10 Yeah. Well, yeah. That is hilarious. So my company decided to change computer systems, right? I work for like a, it's like a largest company. They made like $5 billion last year profit. Okay. work for like a it's like a largest company they made like five billion dollars last year profit okay and they changed this computer system that went from being as simple as walking to now like flying a space shuttle like like that complex you know and i manage transportation so everything
Starting point is 01:01:41 falls back on me if customers don't get their product it's my fault it doesn't matter that it had to actually go through production they didn't get it because of me so a lot of things fell on me and i wasn't feeling good and i just had to like leave i just walked like i had people in my office and i got up out my chair and i walked past everybody and just went outside and i know they're like where the fuck is he going? I just needed a moment. You know? Like we're in the middle of a meeting and I just had to leave. I needed a moment
Starting point is 01:02:11 with my source. You know? I needed that Holy Spirit at that time. Yeah. I went outside and I yelled and maybe I got it. Maybe I just don't know that I'm not recognizing it because it did calm me. I mean I went outside and yelled and everybody started looking at me like I was crazy. But it's cool.
Starting point is 01:02:29 It made you feel better, so fuck with it. It made me feel better. So, B-Mo, you got any last words for the people? Because we are, even though we're not right now, we are celebrating your B-Day. Happy B-Day. Happy birthday. Happy 40. The big 4-0.
Starting point is 01:02:44 4-0 4-0 40 and 5 I know and I accidentally left my ID at home today when I went to the store to try to buy a bottle of wine and this old ass man didn't let me buy it
Starting point is 01:02:55 because I didn't have my ID I was like you raggedy bitch you don't give me this bottle of wine that's the only time where you want to look your age the only time you want to look your age is when you need ID to verify how old you are.
