To show you our appreciation.
The kids will definitely enjoy these wristbands when we hand them out to them at our event, and we are looking forward to growing with wristband bros in the not too distant future, and i just wanted to add on something else too, which is very important.
Is that the way how they have their company structured? It starts at the head, it starts at the top and then it’s just going to trickle down.
So we want to say thank you because everybody there has, like my husband said, you all have been our greatest support and then you support the mission that the staffer boxing club is doing.
What we’re going to do and you didn’t even hesitate.
So if you’re having an event, i would say wristband bros, even um, if you’re having a family reunion, do something different, wristband bros, also great for marketing, wristband, bros or even if you just want to have something for the kids, a birthday party, wristband bros, that’s facts! Yes, thank you.
Thank you so much so babe.
What do we have going on today? Man today, i’m excited about this show and the reason why i’m excited because we get to talk about something.
Oh before i forget, okay, let me uh piggyback on last week: uh gold, nugget, okay, all right go for it.
Um.
Last week we talked about having a winning attitude, and i want to use this is this example as having a winner’s attitude and i’m not trying to be controversial.
I don’t mean to throw anyone under the bus.
This is just for the kids and those who are watching as a testament of what i mean by having a winner’s attitude, a winning attitude.
So shout out to professor ryan gralewski he’s a professor at georgia state university in the jmac college of business.
He teaches law for entrepreneurs, and i had the privilege and and the opportunity to take his class several years ago and i’m going to give you the redacted version of this entire situation.
So basically, professor growleski allowed me to take his class.
I didn’t i i wasn’t taking his class for a grade.
I was taking his class to see how i measure up against seniors and those who who had extensive executive experience in corporate america, who came back to georgia state to get their mba and one of their classes, that was required was uh law for entrepreneurs.
But anyway, in this class he said that we needed to come up with a marketing niche that we can kind of market for the class.
So i came up with hashtag.
I am gsu hashtag capital, i capital a capital m capital to g capital to s and capital to u for georgia state university, and i really do believe that i am georgia state university.
I am jesus anyway, so the very next class professor growleski said he spoke.
This over with his wife, his wife said that you know what this is: a gold mine so that night, when i went to bed the holy spirit woke me up like hey, you need to trademark that.
You know because oftentimes you know, college institutions and other individuals and corporations, they take people ideas and make millions and millions and millions of dollars and the person who invented the initiative doesn’t get the proper recognition.
So i end up following the process of trademarking it.
I like to say i don’t have a legal background, but i’ve been gifted with the opportunity to learn and comprehend information so moving forward.
I went through the process filed it, so i got an email from the trademark united states patent trademark office.
They said that uh.
I had received an opposition from the border regents of for the university system of georgia.
They had opposed it.
They said that you know hey um, you know by me owning this.
It will bring about some type of you know, uh.
What’S the word he used, in other words, he’s saying that it’ll be some confusion going on so i was like well.
How can it be confusion so, but anyway moving forward, so their lawyer from the um board of regents emailed me saying: hey, i give you the filing fee and if you would just say that you going to withdraw your application and don’t use this etc and allow Georgia state university, the board of regents, to use this uh hashtag.
I told them no man, i said i said no.
I said why i don’t even want the money i want that so anyway we went back and forth and at that particular time i was dealing with another case silver case in the federal courts for my company cp plasma center before the honorable, steve c jones, and I just had too much on my plate, so a lot of the deadlines.
I was missing with the trademark application and i just got caught up, but anyway i was somewhat discouraged.
I was hurt.
I was like man lord.
I mean how this gon na go about.
So then, the women’s attitude i was like you know what i’m gon na fight this and i didn’t get the opportunity to trademark it, but i own it so by me, owning it.
The board of regents north georgia, state or georgia, southern or any university with the initial gsu or georgetown, no, no just georgia, state and georgia southern, but i am gsu, is for georgia state university.
My wife was a product.
She alumni, no cappuccino yeah.
I am i’m nothing but georgia state, but anyway, so the winning attitude was, you know what.
Even though i didn’t get an opportunity to trademark hashtag imgsu the fact that i own it and i still can use it – puts me in a winning position.
So, as i was saying earlier about going back about having a winner’s attitude when they came to me and they told me hey man, we want you to uh, give up this here and we’ll give you your filing fee and all that other type stuff.
I could have been like, but as a winner i said, you know what i’ma fight this on my own and it was uh.
What is that law called patent intellectual law or something like that? But it’s a different type of law, but at the end of the day i submerged myself in the live in a in the law library at georgia, state university – and i did my best, but i came up short but i didn’t lose.
I actually won because i own it, and so they can’t come to me with any type of legal issues or lawsuits.
Saying hey you don’t i own it because i was the first one to follow with the patent and trademark office with the united states.
So having a winner’s attitude can go a long way.
It may be rough in the beginning, but if you stay in the ring you get what i’m saying you come out on the winning side max how about you like that baby yeah for real, so hashtag img gsu, oh baby, we own that yeah we’re the owners Of that yep yeah we’re the owners of that so uh the board of regents.
We will appreciate the opportunity.
Excuse me, uh the border regions of the university of georgia system, something like that whatever, but anyway hey.
We would love to talk to you, man.
You know what i’m saying.
I think that this right here is a great marketing um tool to promote georgia state university.
She alumni, you know what i’m about when it comes to georgia state.
I love georgia state.
You know my efforts, my my my contribution will forever be lived through georgia state university.
I made change at georgia, georgia state university.
You can ask uh.
What’S his name uh, i don’t know.
Oh, do you really want to go there? No, i’m the chief okay.
It must not be time for me to say i’m not gon na say it at all.
Don’T don’t force it out.
If it’s not meant to be, i don’t.
I don’t want to do nothing that god tell me, don’t don’t say or do so, i’m not even gon na say anything so baby um, you know today is a topic that so many people in our country is dealing with, and it’s important that we use this Platform to show a different route or different outlet to use to come back that issue that many people in america is dealing with, and the thing that most people are dealing with is mental illness.
That’S a that is a very uh, serious issue in our community and it’s it’s it’s amazing to me.
How so many people don’t know how to deal with it.
You know they really don’t they’ve been broken.
A lot of people have broken what their spirits, their spirits and they’ve just given up on life on life period, because because we see it all the time when we see people, some of them are homeless and some of them may be with families and the families.
Just don’t know what to do or they’ve been trying to do something, and it’s just not working, and sometimes families might not see eye to eye one part of the family might be trying to do something.
The other part of the family doesn’t want to do anything.
Not because they don’t love them but because, like you said, sometimes families can love too much that it hurts.
That is going to hurt that person, but in but in reality, is actually going to help that person, and i believe that we’re able to speak about this because of someone that we know that’s going through that.
But at the same time, i think a lot of us have also been depressed, but before we even get into that with all of that, what boxing can do, besides it just giving you endurance and help you become stronger and have a nice strong, physique boxing joining A boxing gym now joining a boxing gym is really therapeutic because you’re out of the house out of that environment, that seems like it’s just really closing in on you and you just don’t want to do anything.
You just want to sit in there.
Some people just want to sit in the dark depression and that depression just takes over or anxiety can take over so joining a gym and actually exercising.
It allows you to focus on what it is that you’re actually doing at that time.
You have to concentrate because the different types of footwork that you’re going to be doing the type of boxing like the jabs, the uppercuts, the hooks.
You want to do, your slips and your dips and your blocking you’re really going to have to focus.
Because if you’re not focused and you’re, not concentrating either you’re going to hurt yourself or you can hurt somebody else correct, and while you boxing, as you were talking about focusing there are so many things.
That’S going on when you’re boxing that you’re not going to have any time to like have a mental relapse yeah, so the boxing will keep you mentally sharp your reflexes, like you were talking about.
You know the uppercut the straight point: i’m screwing the straight punch learning how to correctly throw a punch learning how to correctly throw a jab learning the importance of footwork, those type of things, help with coordination and reflex and balance and balance that you write.
You write about that, but you know baby um when, when we were preparing for this podcast show um.
I came across where there are um like what’s with some things that you put on your of um you talking about when they put those things on your head.
Yeah, i don’t know, but it reads well, you can also get a brain scan, but it also reads: um.
I don’t know what you call it, but they use it too, when you’re sleeping to see how your brain is functioning and how busy your brain is.
Like your thinking process, why you’re? No? No! No, i told my dad i’m telling my they.
They have these games now, yeah that, okay, it’s it’s! It’S like you in the of the matter.
Oh yeah.
I forgot what you’re trying to do vc vr yeah.
I think that’s what a virtual reality yeah virtual reality.
So basically they have boxing um games that you can use.
So if you’re not able to go to a gym, you can, ah and and you have the what the the playstation 5 or the uh, google or uh facebook, uh or xbox any of those type of devices have the virtual reality where you can use to.
You know to boxing, even though you are going through the motion um, that just another avenue to use just in case you can’t get to a boxing gym or there’s not a boxing gym in your area, so virtual reality has provided a way for you to have That type of boxing experience without being in a boxing gym or being a part of a club, but it’s some pros and cons to that.
You know the thing is: is that um actually spawning with somebody and you know hitting that bag? You know what i mean or that speed bag, and i think that takes attention now.
Yes, man, yes, yes, yes, yeah, and unless i’m glad you said that, because um hitting that back release that stretch, i used to hit the mess out of that bag.
When i used to take boxing and then the kick boxing – oh yeah, you and chante used to go to that um.
What was it in buckhead? It was somewhere around there and also um at the gym that i used to work at samson yeah.
I took the the boxing i took boxing with one person and then i took the kickboxing with somebody else so yeah and like hitting that that punching bag that aggression yeah, you know and – and i just said anger.
I had an anger out and i think that when people be male or female, young or old hit that that back it releases that build up yeah, you feel better because, like someone may have, you know said something to you wrong and you want to like put Them 52s on you, you know hit that boxing bag, and so you know, i really am thankful for the opportunity to use the stafford boxing report to address uh mental health health issues in our community, and i hope that people will take it serious that this is A this is a for real issue like uh, just like the other day uh, we were at the gas station and we just seen this lady and she just she just went she’s spazzed out, and i just think that she don’t have an outlet.
She don’t have a support.
I know for me personally, boxing is definitely an outlet and i don’t know without it.
You know how it would have affected my life.
You know what i mean because, like disciplining myself to go in the gym and hit that bag do some jump rope.
You know spa will look, you know here and there whatever, but at the end of the day it it allowed me to release and with the uh the the burdens of life, everyday life, rent water bill, food dealing with people at your job.
The business deal didn’t go through waiting on somebody to cut the check.
Someone did this.
Someone did that you know you have to have an outlet and when life don’t go your way.
It’S important man that you surround yourself with people that can you know support you.
Pour into not just people, not yes, people, but people are going to hold you accountable, even though you may be their boss.
I think that i would hope that our team, that surrounding us will hold us accountable, because if we fall y’all fall, you see what i’m saying and we can only grow as far as our team.
So i hope that our team will definitely if they see us wrong, that you know hey man, that ain’t right and we always have an open door policy where you can just always approach us like.
I never feel like i’m bigger or better than anyone to be approached about something that i did wrong or offended.
Someone and sheila feel the same way, because we really try to walk that.
Walk yes for real and boxing also helps with what you were saying.
The adversities and how to handle obstacles that are just going to come up whenever they come up just pure life situations um, they also activate endorphins, which then activates the neural neural.
Transmitters: okay! Yes, yes, so the neurotransmitters also allow us to be able to uh feel to stretch our heartbeat.
It just gets it just it’s just a um.
It’S a signaling molecule that pretty much will receive a signal from somewhere in the body whether it’s you know the brain or here so yeah.
That’S good stuff! Shoe! I’M glad that you are really prepared for this, because you know there are a lot of people that going to watch this and may doubt us, because we don’t necessarily have a background in boxing, but we put in the work we enjoy the process.
That’S what motivate us the process, the process of being champions.
Our slogan at the staff for boxing and staff are boxing the making of champions, and we believe that we are champions not only in the boxing ring but outside in the community.
We are champions in our marriage, we are champions in our health.
We are champions in everything that we do is very important and thank you i i want to say um hello and i hope that you’re doing well and we look forward to seeing you back in the boxing ring adrian broner yeah he’s dealing with some mental health Issues that i want to read that and uh.
I think that a lot of people may not agree with adrian bronner presentation, his deliverance.
Well, man he’s a good guy and he’s one of our uh leaders in the community in the boxing community that had an opportunity to do some great things and in my heart i believe that adrian brunner is a good person and i don’t think that we need To say anything negative about him as he’s dealing with uh his mental health issues.
As a matter of fact, what we need to do is rally around him.
Call him see how he doing send them a text.
Uh tweet, something positive, say something positive on instagram yeah twitter seems to be because everyone grows yes, adrian broner, some of the things had that he did when he was younger, may not be something that you agree with, but in life you go through a change, but What have you all done correct so he who has not seen cast the first stone? Basically so adrian broner when me and my wife read this on the internet, about your mental health.
We were definitely touched by that.
Bro no cappuccino and we understand that bruh and we got a lot of respect for you because you said that man i want to get myself mentally together before i get into the boxery, because i respect the sport too much you get what i’m saying so it Wasn’T about you, you know getting in there to get the check.
You respect the sport of boxing and that to me says a lot about you and your character and what you stand for.
Like me and my wife, we don’t judge you bro, you know what i’m saying.
We know that elevation evolving and we definitely i have a uh.
I have a a mental issue situation and to share it and to share it with the world.
Um man.
I got a lot of respect, for you, mental illness is, is mental health and it’s someone’s state of mind.
That’S why, when you see someone who’s, sad and down, who has anxiety? Who is extremely angry um and let me just do [ Music, ], hello, [, Music, ], hello.
There we go all right.
Sorry, everybody! We have some technical difficulties, the uh, what you call it: the uh wi-fi? No, not the wi-fi the weather, oh yeah.
It looks like it’s about to pour down rain, but what i was saying was: mental illness is mental health and that’s why, when you see somebody sat down extremely angry has anxiety because they have a problem being around other people and that depression that depression, that depression Is really something serious and i would also include the ptsd in that as well, because it’s situations that we’ve been in or an experience that we’ve been through and that’s why one of the times on our podcast, i said look you have to be very careful with How you treat people you have to be careful on how you speak to someone.
It seems nowadays.
So many people are angry.
They are just ready to go off.
I have brought up before back.
In the day we used to fight knuckles, just square.
That means tighten your shoes yo.
Let me clarify that.
But now it’s like everybody, ju is carrying a gun and they just want to shoot and they don’t think about the consequences, because they are that mad and it’s probably also just a build up that doesn’t make it right because it needs to stop what else.
I want to say is that if someone says it doesn’t even matter what sport they play, what industry they’re in it doesn’t even matter what they’re doing, even if they’re not doing anything, i i was going to read what tank davis said, but i’m not going to Read it and i’m just going to say this yeah i want because i want to i want to say this: everybody is different.
Everybody handles their situation differently, [, Music, ].
Let’S make this clear, adrian broner ain’t running from nobody, no he’s not running from anybody.
I’M not even yeah and everybody who’s in the boxing industry.
We get that we’re not always going to agree we’re.
Not none of us is always going to agree, but at least show some type of respect, because when you come back with something that’s hateful and hurtful other people will not want to come out and say: look i have an issue and i’m not talking about coming Out to the world or on social media, because not everybody wants to do that.
Not everybody’s built like that.
We’Re talking about just coming out dealing with the issue at hand, because depression also leads into suicide and there’s a lot of people that have been doing that, especially young kids, teenagers, the youth adults.
Sometimes people are getting bullied and then this is what i always tell people.
Sometimes people may have an attitude.
Sometimes people may not come off as being friendly.
So in my mind i say you know what maybe they’re going through something be careful about the words that you say, because that could be their last straw because they’re just tired and they can’t take it anymore and, like my husband, said whether it’s family friends associates Employees co-workers, if somebody is going through that talk to them, sometimes you don’t even need to talk, just listen, and then you can offer some advice with them getting some type of help where it’ll make them comfortable.
So we have to all come together, because i see a lot on social media that people are up and honest that they are going through courageous, a lot of things and they’ll admit.
Yes, i have some mental health issues.
You don’t laugh because none of us is perfect because one day it could be you you know, so you got to be careful.
The other thing about boxing as it relates to um addressing mental illness, is that it it develops resilience and what i mean by that is like typically, a boxing um round is two to three minutes, for women is two minutes for men.
It’S three minutes.
So as you in there, you know what i mean.
You know: you’re dodging you’re, throwing you’re doing a whole bunch of things.
You know there’s a high demand on focusing and uh you know and concentration, and so that resilience in boxing helps you with mental illness as it relates to.
If you get knocked down, you can get back up.
That’S the thing i love about boxing.
You can get knocked down if you’re not careful in that ring, but you can also get back up.
That’S the resilience that’s developed in the sport of boxing uh that resilience of you know taking a jab or hitting the whatever.
However, it may be you develop that if i get knocked down, i’m gon na get back up so that translate into life, meaning that if i get hit with a punch or if something don’t go wrong or if i’m getting knocked down, i’m gon na get back Up, so that’s one of the things that i do like about boxing that helps with everyday life and building that resilience, because it just seems to me in our community, particularly with our youth.
We don’t have that type of resilience like our ancestors did back in the 1960s and 50s and so forth, and so forth.
I mean they had a a huge um sense of resilience because they knew that they had to be resilient in what they were doing, because it allowed us to go from coming through the back door through the front door.
Today, yeah, i agree with that.
We don’t have that um, i don’t know we just we just seem like.
Sometimes we just don’t have that in us, it’s backbone.
It’S like we’ll fight each other and we’ll talk crazy to each other and we’ll do something bad to the other person.
But we won’t come together for the greater good.
No, we won’t, and also in boxing it’s 90 mental and 10 physical too.
So just think of that in life see boxing.
That’S.
Why, like you said, that’s why i really love boxing and i have a lot of respect for boxing scrapbook box and peace to my sister sheila and my brother stafford hello, absolutely agree: brother staff for different resilient, hey man, scrap bop, scrap book box, boxing scuba, my Brother, i don’t know what it is today, but i’m having a moment.
We have it like that.
Sometimes we’re not always going to be perfect.
That’S why.
But we really so you all can see some bloopers yeah and just things that might not go right, but like we keep on doing we’re going to keep on going we’re not ever going to we’re not ever going to give up.
Yeah, like my boys, say, don’t treat me like tang when you know i’m straight tropicana, yeah um yeah, i’m really digging what we’re talking about and if you know anybody who’s going through that just do what you can now.
Sometimes it might be hard because that person won’t admit that they have a problem and then they may be of age, they’re they’re an adult.
So it’s kind of almost like a brick wall that it’s like you’re hitting and unfortunately, sometimes sometimes you may just have to fall back because if you’re, given your all and it’s just not working out and then you’re trying to do what needs to be done, i Want to bring this up because it’s been on my heart about family or mercy.
Family is not like how family used to be when they say big mama is gone and that’s my grandmother, martha williams and my aunt lizzie family is not together.
They’Re working, it’s like it’s almost like sometimes – and i hear this when i talk to other women family has now separated because one person may be doing something, which is that which is right and it’s the right thing to do.
But they don’t see it that way, and i get it when you are on your journey, especially when you’re really walking with god, i’m talking about with god for real for real and you’re really dedicated and you want to, and it’s not a showboat other people are Just not going to have that type of understanding, i get it, but you can at least respect it, and i think also that family we need to stop talking down on each other, because sometimes you may not know certain situations of what was going on, because depression Also keeps you away from family from friends from your work from your hobbies that are talking just amplifies it even more.
That’S what breaks a lot of people’s spirit to talking down from family, because we always seek validation from our family yeah, our mothers, our fathers, our sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles and when we don’t and people in the community that we look up to yeah, like the big Homie or you know what i’m saying, auntie or um like they say, but i’m gon na have to keep it 100.
.
I can’t speak on any other community, but the black community yeah and to me, in my humble opinion, i believe we have failed our ancestors.
All the sacrifices that they have gone through to give us the opportunity to have a podcast show you know to to be a beacon of light in our community.
We have failed as a community as a black community.
Let me be specific, we have failed.
We have failed our ancestors, we need to tighten up.
We we’re our kids, we’re family, not the youth, we’re family kids are confused because they don’t know if this is an adult or a child.
So it’s kind of like.
Why am i going to to receive something from you when you acting just like me? Oh, let me tell you what video i saw.
I don’t know some of you all may or may not know it, but that song when she says i’m f-r-e-e.
Oh, i saw no i’m bringing this up because it was very heartbreaking.
I saw young girls that were like from the second to the fifth grade, dancing on the cards, saying those exact words yeah and don’t know your school work.
So we really have to be careful of what our kids are.
Even us, we have to be careful what we watch, what we listen to, even who we are around because that plays into mental health, and it really does it really does and it starts at a and it starts at a very young age.
It’S not about us.
It’S not about.
I ain’t got to change.
You can’t tell me what to do, because i’m gon na do what i want to do.
What are you talking to? I pay all of my bills, that’s good, but guess what? What and i’m gon na go back to this boxing change that way of thinking it really does, because it makes you look at yourself.
Boxing makes you look at yourself, you should look at yourself and that’s what we all have to do.
I know that’s what i love the sport of boxing, like some people may look at it as a comeback sport and it is to a certain extent, but it’s an art.
It’S a science.
It’S so much things that you can learn in boxing that can help with everyday life and just the discipline like, for instance.
Let me give you an example: if a child or a teenager has access to the gym, it keeps them out the streets, it keeps them.
Excuse me: it helps develop discipline right and mental toughness right so when they go out in the real world and they deal with the real real life situation by them coming up through the boxing gym in the boxing club or the staffer boxing club, they are learn.
Uh behaviors that they would use to empower them to become champions, see that’s what we pushing we pushing champions, we pushing p for pressure, we’re pushing p for perfection.
That’S what we push.
We don’t push.
No other type of foolishness around here we pushing peak because we want to be proper.
We want to push p because we want to present the staff for boxing as a as a premium image.
Yeah, we pushing p p for premium.
That’S what we’re about we about premium and we are so grateful for the opportunity to use boxing and to talk about mental health issues and it’s starting very early with the youth, yeah and and teenage young adults.
Adults listen.
I know that there are medication out there.
Yeah but, however, please be open to go into a boxing gym put on them, gloves, strap up and hit that boxing bag.
You feel some type of way when you put on those i’m talking about it and then your confidence too.
Your confidence is staying.
Also, your self-esteem and also self-defense yeah.
You hear what i’m saying, because it’s a lot going on in the community.
Now it’s different and and boys they be pleasing and and they be pleasant for no reason but by them.
Seeing you that you have that type of stance, they’re gon na be like oh, i ain’t gon na try to shout it, though you get what i’m saying i ain’t gon na try, because it just you know, and that all comes from the sport of boxing and We believe in the sport of boxing a hundred percent that it’s good all around mental physical, spiritual.
You know what i’m saying and it’s important to get this mind right, whatever a man thinking so easy and we are focused on the process, because let me give you an example: baby people always say i can’t wait till i graduate from college, or i can’t wait Till i get that promotion, but in the process of getting that promotion in the process of becoming a human graduate from college in the process of becoming a champion.
Once you get to that point, then what then you’re not motivated, so the motivation has to come from the process, i’m motivated by what i got to go through yeah, so that never dies down that never fades away.
So whatever you do, you always motivated because you know in any and everything it’s a process.
Yeah we pushing p for process and scrapbook box and said my true definition of family is love at its realest faith.
I agree brother exactly and the mirror is the realest realest audience of criticism, the truth and you’re absolutely right, because i look at myself in the mirror all the time and even when nobody knows that, i’m thinking something or i might have said something or even if I’M just with my husband, i may say something: that’s really not nice.
I catch myself and i ask god to forgive me and then i say you know what sheila you have to do better with, because you should not have thought that way and then you should not have even said what you said that shouldn’t have came out.

for real! Oh, so i want to talk about the first canadian female promoter gloria borden.
She became the first promoter in canada in but in 1970 she opened up.
I believe it was the halifax amateur boxing club and she also trained amateur boxers and four of those boxers were actually in the 76 olympics, because i wanted to talk about the business side and boxing and kind of just even it out and hematology.
She was the first to do that, which is the study physiology of blood.
My husband knows about that a little bit, so i wanted to give her a shout out.
That’S big time, we’re always talking about women and first hey man.
I suppose i really.
I really do uh.
He said it would be my honor cool we gon na make it happen, um what i’m gon na say.
Oh man, i respect women when they are doing great things, but it was something i was i had came across in my in my biblical studies and uh, and i wanted to share this today on the show – and it says the true measure of a person character Is when he or she receives power, [, Music, ] and man like when? I read that i was saying to myself like that’s when you really see a person character when they are enabled with power when they going through things like before.
They get to that that that power moment you know they’re, so humble they’re, nice, you know, but once they actually get into that position of power man they change and and don’t be surprised, just know that that’s truly that person character.
So i know that we are approaching midterm elections here in the united states and so like you, you have a lot of people saying a lot of things to get your vote and for those that are currently in office, we have to hold them accountable.
So you said what you said before: you got our vote before you got into that position of power, but let’s hold them accountable based upon their track record, and i think it’s important to understand and know your local government.
Yes, we talk about.
You know the federal and you know the big time politics and and election, but it’s important to know your local government and who’s in those particular positions of power.
We got to hold people accountable.
You can no longer be finessed by people.
Finessing, you block, hey man.
We want to do this, man listen, they will promise you the world to get that vote to get that seat of power and once they get that seat of power and once they show you their character, accept it that’s who they really are, and there are a Lot of times you got women and men when they get in that position of power.
They are nasty, nasty and, and one more thing i want to say, like we got to get away from this entitlement.
You know people feel like they entitled man, you ain’t entitled for nothing to nothing and like me and sheila, you know, like the scriptures say, be be faithful over a little, be grateful man, wristband bros man.
Thank you so much man i mean to someone like you.
It may not mean nothing but to us it’s everything, because a small victory will eventually turn into a big victory.
See when you can appreciate these small things, then our heavenly father would say well well, since you was faithful over this little well, let me enlarge your territory and then in business.
It’S always word of mouth so by us on showing our gratitude and appreciation for this man listen man.
They gave us large, they gave us a dough, they gave us.
You know i didn’t even know my wrist was that small.
That means i got ta work out on my forehead, hey man, look at him, man, hey man.
I ain’t gon na cap, man, boy, my wrist heavy man.
You see what it’s a stafford boxing club and the thing about wristband bros is they did not even hesitate.
I don’t know how many times they reached out to me on instagram, it’s well, i had reached out to them and i was like and they was like.
Listen if you ever need anything, because we, like your uh your program, your staffer boxing club, now mind you man, i don’t want to go there, but i’m going to go there.
It’S it’s a it’s amazing to me how people that don’t look like me support the staff of boxing club, the staff of boxing initiative, but people that look like me.
They be hating.
Man say we ain’t got to hate man, let’s work together, we celebrate everybody.
Even if we don’t even know you we’re just glad and happy for you just don’t change it.
I want to talk about this too customer service.
Oh my gosh.
The reason why i want to talk about customer service is because that’s my gift number one and that’s what i love to do i like to serve, and even when i may be going through something or someone has made me mad, it makes me feel better when I can be nice to somebody else and and not concentrate on what i’m going through, but be concerned about what somebody else may be going through and then having someone to smile.
So let me just tell everybody: this customer service to me is an art and that art is lost.
Customer service starts when you first or even, if you pass by the land, the property, how the landscaping is looking how your building is looking.
That is a part of customer service.
When you walk in through the door, customer service is still going on because whomever is at the door whomever is behind the desk.
Whomever is walking around.
We can feel your energy and a lot of times.
People’S energy is nasty change, it be happy, you don’t have to fake it to make it if you need to walk off and go somewhere for a minute and get yourself together.
Well, get yourself together, but be professional at the staff for boxing club gym enterprises.
I’M not tolerating anything less a smile on your face, even from your presentation to how you might be nice and they have to be pressed.
You will wear a belt, but you know what you know what you know, who got amazing customer service chick-fil-a, oh yeah! Now the yeah chick-fil-a they do have amazing customers.
Hey look check it out.
It’S my pleasure yeah! It’S my pleasure and be nice.
Be nice.
You don’t have an attitude just because you’re going through something and you or whatever feeling some type of way, don’t take that on the next person, because let me tell you something: without your customers, you will not have a job without your customers, you will not get A paycheck so show some type of appreciation to the people who walk in now.
Don’T get me wrong.
Sometimes the customers or the guests may have an attitude, but guess what you can change all of that by just being nice and that’s where boxing and being courteous.
That’S that’s! That’S where and being thoughtful! That’S that’s where the art of boxing come in and thankful, because the things that you talked about change your way of thinking the sport of boxing will help develop those characteristics because we need it.
We need it because it’s gone.
I don’t know where it went, i’m i’m trying to find it hello.
Let me see if it’s in here so i have somebody else to talk about christy martin, who held the wbcf wbca wbc female weather weight.
Unfortunately she did go through something.
I know she has a powerful testimony.
She had actually got shot and stabbed by her trainer, which was also her husband.
I had looked her up some years ago.
She was, she was the truth.
I looked her up some years ago.
She’S also called the cole minor’s daughter and she’s she’s and when she was in that ring, she actually fought at madison square garden.
Now i i need to look this up because i’m somewhat, i don’t know, but they said that when she fought israel, she was the first one that was the first female fight there.
So she had great stamina.
She had great um, she dipped she slipped.
Her jabs was on point.
I i really liked her.
She was also a substitute teacher and she helped the veterans find a job too so big ups to christy martin.
If she just happens to see this, we would like to have you on the show as well.
Not to talk about what you went through with your husband, but to talk about what you brought to the sport of boxing yeah and what and what it is that you’re doing now.
So that’s what we would like to speak to you about on the show yeah! Well, i think we’re gon na call it today and you gave your gold nugget.
No, no, no.
I got another one, okay, so the gold nugget today and it’s what you had talked about earlier confidence.
Oh okay, i like that confidence.
It’S important to have confidence.
Confidence is everything it starts with.
Like scrap said, looking in the mirror, when you look in the mirror, you should have confidence in the person that you are and is becoming, confidence will carry you from the pit to the mansion.
Confidence is is, is something that attracts greatness.
When people see that you’re confident in your ability, then you will receive support from others.
The reason why you see staffing in sheila is because of our confidence for us.
Our confidence not only come through uh, the small accomplishments and loving each other, but our confidence comes from the word of god.
So, whatever it is, you need to do to get healthy confidence.
There’S a difference between arrogance and confidence.
Being confident is something that you work towards and when you obtain it, you appreciate it because of what you had to go through to obtain it.
Confidence is something that is a necessity and it’s a tool that you must have in your toolbox for life.
Confidence will take you a long way and confidence is a beauty when people see like, for instance, there may be a woman or a man that may not be in their eyesight physically attractive, but their confidence that they display makes them so attractive that some people are Amazed, how did that individual hook up with that individual? It was because of their confidence.
Confidence is the golden nugget for today on the stafford boxing report, and i want to thank you so much for tuning in and when you watch it.
