03:03.829 --> 03:07.810
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to get her on another episode and we'll get it all in at that time.

03:08.791 --> 03:15.194
[SPEAKER_01]: So Dr. Winston tells us about your journey and what inspired you to become an evangelist and entrepreneur.

03:16.273 --> 03:17.573
[SPEAKER_02]: Thank you for that question Paul.

03:17.874 --> 03:23.456
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to thank all of my listeners who I invited to the podcast today.

03:23.776 --> 03:25.696
[SPEAKER_02]: I thank you if you joined with us.

03:26.116 --> 03:27.557
[SPEAKER_02]: You could have been doing anything else.

03:27.597 --> 03:33.419
[SPEAKER_02]: But if you own this call, I really appreciate your presence and your time that you spent for us.

03:34.179 --> 03:37.220
[SPEAKER_02]: And my journey, it began really with pain.

03:38.541 --> 03:40.862
[SPEAKER_02]: But it led me to purpose.

03:41.582 --> 03:42.362
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

03:42.462 --> 03:44.723
[SPEAKER_02]: So being an evangelist and

03:45.378 --> 03:51.782
[SPEAKER_02]: being an entrepreneur, there's a purpose, you know, God purposes, you know, he put us here for purpose.

03:52.402 --> 03:57.065
[SPEAKER_02]: And we have to, we have to live out that purpose that he gave us.

03:57.505 --> 04:00.827
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm a survivor of abuse and hardship.

04:00.967 --> 04:09.512
[SPEAKER_02]: And instead of allowing my past to define me, I chose to let it refine me.

04:10.254 --> 04:10.915
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wonderful.

04:12.396 --> 04:26.846
[SPEAKER_02]: I became an advantage because I knew my story wasn't just for me, you know, it was meant to bring hope to others, you know, and becoming an entrepreneur was birthed, I guess, from the same calling.

04:27.366 --> 04:39.114
[SPEAKER_02]: I wanted to empower people, not just spiritually but financially, and I realized that true freedom includes both salvation and stewardship,

04:39.645 --> 04:47.933
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've dedicated my life to walking people through both because when you read the Bible, it talks more about finances than it does anything.

04:48.413 --> 04:49.034
[SPEAKER_01]: Sure does.

04:49.414 --> 04:53.618
[SPEAKER_02]: So don't get the mentality that God don't want you to be prospered because he said so.

04:54.098 --> 04:57.421
[SPEAKER_02]: I would that you prosper and be in health even at your soul prosper.

04:57.942 --> 05:04.448
[SPEAKER_02]: So everything I'm doing, I'm doing it from the Word of God because God Jesus taught about finances.

05:05.306 --> 05:08.029
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, absolutely, absolutely did.

05:08.350 --> 05:15.639
[SPEAKER_01]: And a lot of people think that the Bible tells them not to prosper out to have money, but it actually makes that opposite.

05:15.899 --> 05:16.620
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

05:16.640 --> 05:20.585
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a rules all things for sure.

05:21.005 --> 05:24.650
[SPEAKER_02]: You can't do none without it, you know, you can do more with it.

05:27.025 --> 05:37.394
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, we want to encourage people that the prosperity also not only financially, but in mind, body, spirit and so on.

05:37.914 --> 05:40.316
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, I've never, Jesus was a Jew.

05:40.557 --> 05:41.838
[SPEAKER_02]: I've never seen a poor Jew.

05:43.683 --> 05:45.284
[SPEAKER_02]: All of them are rich.

05:46.465 --> 05:48.106
[SPEAKER_01]: They know how to prosper.

05:48.226 --> 05:51.148
[SPEAKER_01]: And yes, they do have that faith to do it.

05:51.228 --> 05:53.169
[SPEAKER_01]: And we have to commend them for it.

05:53.710 --> 05:56.572
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, when they become that twelve-year old times of work,

06:04.197 --> 06:05.197
[SPEAKER_01]: to make them dollars.

06:06.258 --> 06:10.120
[SPEAKER_01]: What they say work in hard and just get up and make it out.

06:10.140 --> 06:11.901
[SPEAKER_02]: That's how we know.

06:13.762 --> 06:14.062
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

06:14.082 --> 06:17.684
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's talk about the wisdom experience.

06:17.704 --> 06:21.446
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you share with a platform stands for and how it serves your audience?

06:21.566 --> 06:24.427
[SPEAKER_01]: I've taken a look at it, but we want more people to do this.

06:25.448 --> 06:27.948
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the Winston expert is more a brand.

06:28.309 --> 06:39.150
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a movement, you know, when I became an entrepreneur, I needed something for people to go to and learn about what I do and how I do it.

06:39.831 --> 06:53.493
[SPEAKER_02]: And it represents empowerment, transformation and legacy, you know, through speaking engagement, workshops, books, live being, I help people heal, grow and prosper.

06:54.473 --> 06:56.715
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, that's how it wasn't experienced.

06:56.775 --> 07:07.884
[SPEAKER_02]: And we serve an audience that's ready to turn pain in the power, you know, because when you are bothered down with debt, you and you're not empowered.

07:08.765 --> 07:14.350
[SPEAKER_02]: You and you're struggling, you know, and we don't have to struggle if we do the right things.

07:15.651 --> 07:21.496
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, you faith in action and then income that impacts.

07:22.256 --> 07:32.100
[SPEAKER_02]: So whether someone is broken, burning, or just ready to, for a breakthrough, the Winston experience meet them where they are and walks them to war at Holiness.

07:32.560 --> 07:32.920
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

07:33.240 --> 07:38.262
[SPEAKER_01]: And as I stated, I've taken a look at the website and I'm pushing buttons all on there.

07:42.562 --> 07:44.623
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm encouraging all of this.

07:44.843 --> 07:46.464
[SPEAKER_01]: All viewers get out there.

07:46.684 --> 07:48.024
[SPEAKER_01]: What is the website for that?

07:48.064 --> 07:49.265
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the, is that the.

07:49.285 --> 07:56.407
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, the website is one of my business for people to come to become the member of my, my company, the Winston experience.

07:56.608 --> 07:59.909
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, my financial, your financial blueprint.

08:00.269 --> 08:02.850
[SPEAKER_02]: That's where you learn how to be financially independent.

08:03.562 --> 08:06.606
[SPEAKER_02]: uh, by being a member of my organization.

08:06.886 --> 08:07.106
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

08:07.347 --> 08:09.289
[SPEAKER_01]: And isn't this a great time to be found?

08:09.649 --> 08:10.690
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes, it is.

08:11.151 --> 08:13.714
[SPEAKER_01]: Is the perfect time special with the terror?

08:13.934 --> 08:14.354
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

08:14.655 --> 08:15.055
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

08:15.356 --> 08:15.756
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

08:16.076 --> 08:17.999
[SPEAKER_01]: Right time for you, what you have.

08:18.619 --> 08:20.461
[SPEAKER_02]: And I always tell people, um,

08:22.301 --> 08:25.103
[SPEAKER_02]: You're leaving money on the table if you don't have a business.

08:25.403 --> 08:25.824
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

08:25.904 --> 08:36.033
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we just can't afford not to have one because there are so many advantages of write-offs and tax things that you don't have if you don't have a business.

08:36.613 --> 08:38.254
[SPEAKER_02]: I would never be without a business.

08:38.555 --> 08:39.295
[SPEAKER_01]: That same here.

08:42.218 --> 08:43.499
[SPEAKER_02]: You know how money works.

08:44.460 --> 08:47.923
[SPEAKER_01]: And not only that, but

08:48.450 --> 08:50.031
[SPEAKER_01]: having the money work for you.

08:50.312 --> 08:51.973
[SPEAKER_01]: Having the money work for you.

08:52.153 --> 08:52.774
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you go.

08:53.054 --> 08:57.858
[SPEAKER_01]: I try to catch up all the time versus being a lender rather than a borrower.

08:58.058 --> 08:59.159
[SPEAKER_01]: What did the Bible say?

08:59.559 --> 09:01.601
[SPEAKER_02]: The borrower is slain to the lender.

09:02.682 --> 09:04.964
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything I do is scripture, you know.

09:05.585 --> 09:08.147
[SPEAKER_02]: And, you know, hey, that's what it is.

09:08.187 --> 09:10.348
[SPEAKER_02]: The word said that and that's what it meant.

09:10.629 --> 09:11.149
[SPEAKER_01]: We are.

09:11.169 --> 09:14.751
[SPEAKER_02]: It is tough for us to eat a linda and not to borrow it.

09:14.792 --> 09:16.112
[SPEAKER_02]: That's tough.

09:16.493 --> 09:17.013
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

09:17.033 --> 09:17.734
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what to do.

09:18.874 --> 09:19.995
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what to do.

09:20.395 --> 09:20.776
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

09:21.536 --> 09:23.057
[SPEAKER_01]: All we have to do is follow the grip.

09:23.217 --> 09:23.778
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

09:23.858 --> 09:25.359
[SPEAKER_02]: And the pork, we are slaves.

09:25.799 --> 09:26.139
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

09:26.340 --> 09:26.620
[SPEAKER_02]: You know.

09:27.240 --> 09:27.841
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, man.

09:27.881 --> 09:28.961
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, don't let this do it.

09:29.262 --> 09:32.204
[SPEAKER_01]: Reach a Bible in an Italian.

09:32.344 --> 09:33.025
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

09:33.725 --> 09:41.392
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's put it back to books now because you have a quite a library of books that you're part of co-author solo.

09:41.832 --> 09:42.012
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

09:42.073 --> 09:45.375
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, let's talk about first your book and shakeable faith.

09:45.636 --> 09:47.017
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, we know it's powerful.

09:47.317 --> 09:51.841
[SPEAKER_01]: What personal experiences shape you understand in a faith during challenging times?

09:53.303 --> 09:58.864
[SPEAKER_02]: I unshakable faith was born from a season when everything was to me was just shaking.

09:59.445 --> 10:19.210
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, my health, my home, in two thousand eight, you know, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and I had to make some decisions about my body and my healing, how I was going to, how I was going to eliminate the cancer, whether it was going to be through

10:21.597 --> 10:29.639
[SPEAKER_02]: chemotherapy or radiation or just what so it prompted me to just see God and find out which way he wanted me to go.

10:30.419 --> 10:34.981
[SPEAKER_02]: And so I was fortunate that I didn't take the radiation.

10:35.041 --> 10:37.181
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't take the chemo.

10:37.601 --> 10:40.062
[SPEAKER_02]: I just said, OK, God, this is your body.

10:40.422 --> 10:40.942
[SPEAKER_02]: You made it.

10:41.002 --> 10:44.103
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, so I went on and had a surgery.

10:44.803 --> 10:46.204
[SPEAKER_02]: And I just relied on God.

10:46.244 --> 10:47.024
[SPEAKER_02]: He brought me through.

10:48.222 --> 10:50.784
[SPEAKER_02]: Right now, I'm seventeen years cancer free.

10:51.224 --> 10:51.684
[SPEAKER_02]: Wonderful.

10:51.844 --> 11:00.129
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I just learned about ringing the bell this year.

11:00.989 --> 11:02.190
[SPEAKER_02]: I never heard of that.

11:02.210 --> 11:04.131
[SPEAKER_02]: I was one of my colleagues.

11:04.211 --> 11:11.415
[SPEAKER_02]: She had cancer and she got, you know, she got diagnosed and she went through her chemo and all that.

11:11.775 --> 11:16.320
[SPEAKER_02]: And then, you know, they she became cancer free and she had a ring to bail.

11:16.500 --> 11:18.762
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, I've never heard of that.

11:21.365 --> 11:28.952
[SPEAKER_02]: You don't allow, um, when tragedy, you know, no one wants to hear that you got cancer.

11:29.073 --> 11:31.395
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a bad word, you know, really.

11:31.828 --> 11:42.997
[SPEAKER_02]: you know, but we none of us immune to it and it doesn't have no fix, you know, and you never think that you will get it.

11:43.478 --> 11:46.500
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, no, it just can't be me.

11:49.303 --> 11:51.064
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no, this just can't be.

11:51.425 --> 11:52.846
[SPEAKER_02]: We had it out for a minute.

11:53.487 --> 11:57.791
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not right.

11:57.891 --> 11:58.772
[SPEAKER_02]: It's not right.

11:58.792 --> 12:02.475
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't have no respect the person.

12:02.495 --> 12:04.137
[SPEAKER_02]: So a lot to tell you.

12:04.177 --> 12:09.622
[SPEAKER_02]: These times that I learn about, you know, God is in the midst of everything.

12:10.863 --> 12:12.905
[SPEAKER_02]: We just work with everything to him.

12:13.414 --> 12:14.795
[SPEAKER_02]: And he would direct that path.

12:14.815 --> 12:16.456
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's all that came.

12:16.576 --> 12:17.957
[SPEAKER_02]: That was my first book.

12:18.798 --> 12:19.478
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wonderful.

[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

12:23.200 --> 12:25.842
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what that's where all the other ones began.

12:25.862 --> 12:27.763
[SPEAKER_01]: Great.

12:28.003 --> 12:30.645
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's really a turning point in your life.

12:33.807 --> 12:36.009
[SPEAKER_01]: and they were change smokers.

12:36.650 --> 12:39.552
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Lord, and both of them had cancer.

12:40.253 --> 12:45.197
[SPEAKER_02]: And I never smoked, so I was like, I didn't smoke, I didn't drink, so where did it come from?

12:45.217 --> 12:46.018
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

12:46.338 --> 12:53.424
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's that saying that God, he would test us, and it really had God, he would tempt us.

12:54.865 --> 12:56.326
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, most definitely.

12:56.426 --> 13:00.428
[SPEAKER_01]: We know we're going to be tested by God for sure.

13:00.888 --> 13:08.833
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, if you, if you've come to that where you have been diagnosed, just know that God knew it before you did.

13:09.573 --> 13:13.596
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you could redirect, you could redefine and renew your life.

13:14.096 --> 13:15.717
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I'm more zoom in at now.

13:16.905 --> 13:20.749
[SPEAKER_02]: The last twelve years that I've been all my life.

13:21.229 --> 13:24.212
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's like God has more for you to do and you're going to.

13:24.292 --> 13:34.341
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, he has really blessed and I'm grateful and I let him know I'm grateful Fantastic working congratulations and we've rang that bill.

13:34.661 --> 13:35.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes, yes.

13:36.222 --> 13:40.226
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's move to and in fact before I go

13:41.026 --> 13:44.187
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to put that book cover here.

13:44.207 --> 13:55.789
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, unshakable faith, and this is Dr. West in very first book that inspired her to go on for multiple books.

13:56.329 --> 13:58.050
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're honored for her to have that.

13:58.410 --> 14:03.511
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, the second book that we want to talk about is the path to financial independence.

14:04.391 --> 14:07.572
[SPEAKER_01]: You blend spiritual and financial wisdom.

14:07.632 --> 14:08.552
[SPEAKER_01]: How do you believe

14:09.224 --> 14:11.326
[SPEAKER_01]: faith plays a role in financial freedom.

14:13.147 --> 14:20.393
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, if you're a believer, you know, your faith is your foundation, you know.

14:20.973 --> 14:25.176
[SPEAKER_02]: And you have to trust before you build, you know.

14:25.677 --> 14:33.443
[SPEAKER_02]: So the path to financial independence came through when at age sixty two, I wanted to retire.

14:33.943 --> 14:38.186
[SPEAKER_02]: And I didn't have, I hadn't saved enough money in my,

14:39.096 --> 14:40.857
[SPEAKER_02]: retirement plan to retire.

14:41.798 --> 14:53.284
[SPEAKER_02]: So I had to work some strategies to eliminate debt and get out of my credit cards and pay all those all before I could retire.

14:53.884 --> 14:56.426
[SPEAKER_02]: So it was a mindset.

14:56.806 --> 15:01.749
[SPEAKER_02]: I had to change my mindset about finances.

15:02.270 --> 15:04.413
[SPEAKER_02]: because I wasn't ready to retire.

15:04.433 --> 15:09.361
[SPEAKER_02]: I was ready, but I wasn't financially stable.

15:10.062 --> 15:12.766
[SPEAKER_02]: So that wasn't a waken in for me, you know.

15:13.207 --> 15:17.193
[SPEAKER_02]: So I said, if I'm going through this, if I'm in this predicament,

15:17.573 --> 15:21.137
[SPEAKER_02]: There must be some other people that are in that predicament as well.

15:21.557 --> 15:21.937
[SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely.

15:21.977 --> 15:30.586
[SPEAKER_02]: So that gave me an insight, say, okay, so you need to do something about it for yourself and then you need to put it in a book for other people.

15:31.066 --> 15:34.930
[SPEAKER_02]: So they don't know what they need to do while they are working.

15:35.351 --> 15:36.511
[SPEAKER_02]: before they retire.

15:36.732 --> 15:40.373
[SPEAKER_02]: So when they get ready to retire, they won't be shocked like I was.

15:41.413 --> 15:45.115
[SPEAKER_02]: Because you know, you think, okay, I don't work the oldies years.

15:45.175 --> 15:45.895
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm six or two.

15:45.975 --> 15:46.655
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm excited.

15:47.455 --> 15:48.736
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm ready to retire.

15:48.796 --> 15:50.317
[SPEAKER_02]: I've reached that age.

15:51.097 --> 15:54.058
[SPEAKER_02]: But my money said you're not ready.

15:54.938 --> 15:56.279
[SPEAKER_01]: Money was trying to catch up with you.

15:56.379 --> 15:56.699
[SPEAKER_02]: Money?

15:56.739 --> 15:57.259
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

15:57.619 --> 15:59.420
[SPEAKER_02]: So I have to catch up.

16:06.799 --> 16:26.868
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I made a mind I made a decision that okay if this is what I'm I need to do and have to do I'm gonna do it so I worked you know ten more years really I didn't have to work ten years, but I liked my job boss, and I was great, so I just went on in

16:27.228 --> 16:33.073
[SPEAKER_02]: started investing and started putting aside money for my emergency fund and all of that.

16:33.173 --> 16:46.224
[SPEAKER_02]: And then in a research about finance, I discovered that, seven to eight percent of people in the US don't even have an emergency fund and live in paycheck to paycheck.

16:46.584 --> 16:46.944
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

16:47.325 --> 16:50.487
[SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah, that was why I opened it for me.

16:50.888 --> 16:55.772
[SPEAKER_01]: She was going to be the more people this year because of, yes, it's a complacent inflation and

16:56.232 --> 17:01.716
[SPEAKER_01]: price is going to go up with the tariffs and money with the stock market and everything.

17:01.736 --> 17:02.937
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, everything.

17:03.017 --> 17:10.282
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so we got to be wise to us, you know, of our finances, you know, we buy things that we don't even need.

17:10.322 --> 17:19.229
[SPEAKER_02]: We just want, you know, so we have to be very vigilant about how we spend our money because we're going to make somebody rich.

17:19.289 --> 17:20.390
[SPEAKER_02]: So why not ourselves?

17:20.758 --> 17:21.439
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

17:21.659 --> 17:30.850
[SPEAKER_02]: And I, and then after studying that and working the strategy, I started working the, uh, uh, twenty, twenty, eighty rule rule.

17:31.050 --> 17:35.956
[SPEAKER_02]: I pay myself twenty percent, I pay myself, I'm no ten ten, eighty rule.

17:36.296 --> 17:39.497
[SPEAKER_02]: I paid myself ten percent, which people don't even think of paying themselves.

17:39.857 --> 17:43.338
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said to myself, okay, okay, okay, okay, Sam, get his money off the top.

17:43.938 --> 17:45.238
[SPEAKER_02]: And he's not even working for me.

17:45.638 --> 17:46.578
[SPEAKER_02]: I need to get mine.

17:47.258 --> 17:50.119
[SPEAKER_02]: So I paid God ten percent, I paid myself ten percent.

17:50.399 --> 17:53.680
[SPEAKER_02]: And then the eight of percent is reveals in whatever else.

17:54.260 --> 17:54.840
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

17:55.140 --> 17:57.361
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's that old quote.

17:57.501 --> 17:59.501
[SPEAKER_01]: Rich people live like their poor.

18:00.001 --> 18:00.641
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, they do.

18:00.721 --> 18:02.182
[SPEAKER_01]: They live like their rich.

18:02.302 --> 18:02.742
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello.

18:05.293 --> 18:18.166
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, and I always tell people you don't have to You don't have to You have to get started for sure, you know you gotta start somewhere so that was my starting point.

18:18.787 --> 18:19.748
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh fantastic

18:20.240 --> 18:28.626
[SPEAKER_01]: And I want people to go out and get this book also get unshakable faith because again, you'd be on that path, get the faith built up.

18:29.166 --> 18:31.808

18:31.868 --> 18:33.249
[SPEAKER_01]: So get that one.

18:33.590 --> 18:39.574
[SPEAKER_01]: And now I want to share about the third book which the title absolutely is book.

19:04.750 --> 19:05.070
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

19:05.350 --> 19:08.212
[SPEAKER_02]: And please share what this book consists of.

19:09.533 --> 19:14.236
[SPEAKER_02]: This book is really my life from where I can remember.

19:14.895 --> 19:19.319
[SPEAKER_02]: From five years old and growing up, I was adopted.

19:20.980 --> 19:24.222
[SPEAKER_02]: My mother gave away, really.

19:24.463 --> 19:25.744
[SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't a legal adoption.

19:26.024 --> 19:27.465
[SPEAKER_02]: Her first two girls.

19:28.986 --> 19:32.269
[SPEAKER_02]: And so my other sister was more fortunate than I was.

19:32.649 --> 19:35.131
[SPEAKER_02]: My foster mother dad when I was like five years old.

19:35.531 --> 19:43.858
[SPEAKER_02]: From that point, my life was like a turmoil, tragic, all kinds of things, a child abuse, molestation,

19:44.594 --> 19:47.616
[SPEAKER_02]: and unhealthy environment.

19:48.477 --> 19:56.842
[SPEAKER_02]: And I always thought that I needed to put it in a book, because I never talked about it.

19:57.123 --> 20:05.328
[SPEAKER_02]: It was something I just concealed, you know, in that particular time, after I wrote the first book that was the second book.

20:05.708 --> 20:07.249
[SPEAKER_02]: There's this was my second book.

20:08.370 --> 20:12.733
[SPEAKER_02]: I gave me the go ahead that said it's time to put it in a book.

20:13.387 --> 20:19.488
[SPEAKER_02]: So everything that happened in my life that I could remember from five years old until I got married.

20:20.528 --> 20:22.449
[SPEAKER_02]: And after I got married, it's in that book.

20:23.529 --> 20:31.910
[SPEAKER_02]: And the story, the stories will heal someone who's gone through what I've gone through, I went through when I go through.

20:32.810 --> 20:39.452
[SPEAKER_02]: Like I said, my foster sister, you know, when you think people that was supposed to protect you, they didn't they hurt you.

20:40.312 --> 20:42.232
[SPEAKER_02]: And innocent child,

20:42.692 --> 20:48.697
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, why do they deserve to be mistreated, you know, when you supposed to be put here in the documents.

20:48.717 --> 21:02.228
[SPEAKER_02]: So I went through all of those things that I'm so proud of myself after coming through all of that and became the woman that I am and the mother that I am and the entrepreneur that I am.

21:02.629 --> 21:04.310
[SPEAKER_02]: So I don't have any regrets.

21:05.064 --> 21:10.448
[SPEAKER_02]: after I got born again, I realized that it wasn't for me, it's for someone else.

21:11.269 --> 21:19.114
[SPEAKER_02]: So the things that we go through, we don't understand them at that time and it's not for you, it's for someone else.

21:19.334 --> 21:30.002
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this book is going to heal so many people because so many people have gone through worse and domestic abuse and all that and they've concealed it.

21:30.748 --> 21:32.649
[SPEAKER_02]: And some people are going to throw it today.

21:32.709 --> 21:33.069
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

21:33.369 --> 21:35.890
[SPEAKER_02]: And once you release it, it heals you first.

21:36.391 --> 21:36.851
[SPEAKER_02]: For sure.

21:37.231 --> 21:38.232
[SPEAKER_02]: It heals you first.

21:38.572 --> 21:40.293
[SPEAKER_02]: And then I had to learn to forgive.

21:40.693 --> 21:45.335
[SPEAKER_02]: So once I became a born again, Christian God said, OK, you got to forgive.

21:45.455 --> 21:46.175
[SPEAKER_02]: I forgave you.

21:46.576 --> 21:47.896
[SPEAKER_02]: So you have to forgive them.

21:48.436 --> 21:50.437
[SPEAKER_02]: And so that's where the title came from.

21:50.818 --> 21:53.359
[SPEAKER_02]: Love like you never been heard because I was heard.

21:54.059 --> 21:55.140
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, sure.

21:56.317 --> 22:01.379
[SPEAKER_01]: are sort of part of that aspect of that God uses people.

22:01.779 --> 22:04.681
[SPEAKER_01]: That's not able to get his plan into the earth.

22:05.081 --> 22:05.421
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

22:05.661 --> 22:06.522
[SPEAKER_01]: We put to do that.

22:06.822 --> 22:07.182
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

22:07.262 --> 22:08.943
[SPEAKER_01]: But we're going with you through this book.

22:09.383 --> 22:09.703
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

22:09.883 --> 22:12.084
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it is is powerful.

22:12.384 --> 22:17.226
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, and if you are open, you know, it will really help you.

22:17.726 --> 22:18.547
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it helped me.

22:23.039 --> 22:27.201
[SPEAKER_02]: So after I did that first book, God said, it's time for you to put it in writing.

22:27.722 --> 22:31.264
[SPEAKER_02]: People need to know where you were and where you are in.

22:31.824 --> 22:33.565
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly, exactly.

22:33.985 --> 22:37.247
[SPEAKER_01]: In other words, what I like to tell people is be the light.

22:37.527 --> 22:39.629
[SPEAKER_01]: So others may see what's possible for them.

22:40.109 --> 22:40.409
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

22:40.709 --> 22:41.049
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

22:41.149 --> 22:41.410
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

22:41.530 --> 22:41.810
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

22:42.430 --> 22:45.092
[SPEAKER_01]: So that's what you're doing.

22:45.352 --> 22:45.472
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

22:46.212 --> 22:46.773
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

22:46.813 --> 22:48.114
[SPEAKER_02]: We can't keep it on the bush.

22:49.373 --> 22:49.681
[SPEAKER_02]: God.

22:51.332 --> 22:54.073
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what the words say, you'll not get his eye.

22:54.453 --> 22:54.873
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

22:55.193 --> 23:06.455
[SPEAKER_01]: So I want people at this time who have viewing who are listening, who will listen on archive to really take in this expertise, this knowledge and this wisdom that Dr. Winston is sharing with us.

23:06.755 --> 23:16.457
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to transition just a little bit here and talk about being a speaker ready, key note speaker, and what your experience was like.

23:16.637 --> 23:18.418
[SPEAKER_01]: I was a part of that cohort.

23:20.078 --> 23:27.185
[SPEAKER_01]: I really enjoyed listening to your presentation, your speech and if you could share, get about what that experience was like for you.

23:27.745 --> 23:30.188
[SPEAKER_02]: The stage ready was amazing.

23:31.329 --> 23:35.372
[SPEAKER_02]: It bought things out of us that we thought we couldn't do.

23:35.392 --> 23:36.633
[SPEAKER_02]: It prepared us to be

23:38.715 --> 23:49.985
[SPEAKER_02]: ready to talk to our audience about our experiences, you know, because we all have experiences, all our experiences are different, and we tell them different.

23:50.425 --> 23:59.433
[SPEAKER_02]: So that experience was so amazing to me to have an audience that I could talk to about what I've gone through and where I am now.

23:59.835 --> 24:00.756
[SPEAKER_02]: and where I'm headed.

24:01.436 --> 24:08.680
[SPEAKER_02]: And to be on the platform with nine other phenomenal speakers, it was just so phenomenal.

24:09.173 --> 24:11.835
[SPEAKER_02]: I was, I was, I enjoyed every speaker.

24:12.216 --> 24:19.241
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we commanded that stage, you know, we just got them then shared, like we have been sharing for ever.

24:20.242 --> 24:30.511
[SPEAKER_02]: And a little nervous, but you know, one can tell, but I, you know, nobody know what you, how nervous you are, nobody, I mean, everybody's talking about.

24:31.304 --> 24:36.126
[SPEAKER_02]: dynamic and everybody did a fabulous job.

24:36.186 --> 24:39.527
[SPEAKER_02]: That was definitely a highlight for me.

24:40.267 --> 24:40.988
[SPEAKER_01]: Fantastic.

24:41.228 --> 24:45.069
[SPEAKER_01]: I really enjoyed yours and everybody in the audience did as well.

24:45.609 --> 24:48.751
[SPEAKER_01]: And we were going through all of the coaching.

24:49.511 --> 24:52.072
[SPEAKER_01]: We couldn't really see that whole picture.

24:52.612 --> 24:54.414
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm on that stage.

24:54.474 --> 25:01.038
[SPEAKER_01]: We knew it was coming, but on the day that it actually happened, it was just mind-blowing experience.

25:01.479 --> 25:06.803
[SPEAKER_02]: And to have a coach like, like, the sheriff, I mean, she don't play.

25:06.823 --> 25:11.266
[SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be right, oh, yes, it ain't going to be.

25:11.386 --> 25:11.887
[SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

25:13.933 --> 25:15.255
[SPEAKER_03]: And I love that about her.

25:15.295 --> 25:17.337
[SPEAKER_02]: She's very true.

25:17.718 --> 25:19.399
[SPEAKER_02]: We're fantastic.

25:19.419 --> 25:20.621
[SPEAKER_02]: You did a marvelous job.

25:20.641 --> 25:22.103
[SPEAKER_02]: That was an awesome story too.

25:23.104 --> 25:26.968
[SPEAKER_02]: And it was so good about all the stories we're true.

25:29.526 --> 25:31.047
[SPEAKER_02]: They were alive.

25:31.107 --> 25:32.668
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what we've done and lived.

25:33.228 --> 25:33.808
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

25:34.869 --> 25:39.031
[SPEAKER_01]: I say, say, we live to tell the story.

25:39.131 --> 25:40.192
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, we did.

25:40.212 --> 25:40.352
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yes.

25:40.392 --> 25:42.013
[SPEAKER_01]: Books that it would help someone else.

25:42.333 --> 25:43.674
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and I think it did.

25:43.694 --> 25:44.974
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I got a book sale from that.

25:44.994 --> 25:46.575
[SPEAKER_02]: From that stage.

25:46.595 --> 25:46.936
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, I did.

25:47.156 --> 25:48.797
[SPEAKER_02]: We're all awesome.

26:00.638 --> 26:03.242
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I need that book.

26:03.382 --> 26:04.183
[SPEAKER_02]: I needed that.

26:04.484 --> 26:06.787
[SPEAKER_02]: I got to start doing what I need to do.

26:07.208 --> 26:09.892
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we do because of the only so quick.

26:10.332 --> 26:11.053
[SPEAKER_02]: And you won't even.

26:11.073 --> 26:13.497
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it's time to retire and I ain't ready.

26:13.797 --> 26:14.138
[SPEAKER_02]: You know.

26:16.495 --> 26:19.099
[SPEAKER_01]: I try to people people being tested right now.

26:19.360 --> 26:19.740
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yes.

26:19.800 --> 26:20.502
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.

26:20.782 --> 26:21.223
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.

26:21.243 --> 26:22.244
[SPEAKER_01]: So being tested.

26:22.665 --> 26:24.368
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, land off and all that stuff.

26:24.488 --> 26:25.029
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.

26:25.229 --> 26:25.890
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

26:25.910 --> 26:26.030
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

26:26.130 --> 26:30.137
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know in the bad thing about it, some of them have to go into every time it.

26:30.483 --> 26:30.944
[SPEAKER_01]: For sure.

26:30.964 --> 26:42.337
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they have to go into that four one can pull a money out, you know, and it's something that that didn't have to happen for them either.

26:42.797 --> 26:48.244
[SPEAKER_01]: No, yeah, it didn't have to happen, but it did and perhaps that's a test for them.

26:48.737 --> 26:49.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

26:49.218 --> 26:51.099
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's a very tough test.

26:51.400 --> 26:51.740
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

26:51.800 --> 26:53.842
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm hoping that everybody will pass the test.

26:54.182 --> 26:54.522
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

26:54.622 --> 26:55.703
[SPEAKER_01]: We, we had, we will.

26:56.024 --> 26:57.925
[SPEAKER_01]: If we got God, we're going to do it.

26:59.227 --> 26:59.987
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

27:00.208 --> 27:01.329
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm already passed.

27:01.449 --> 27:01.749
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

27:01.909 --> 27:02.189
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

27:02.289 --> 27:02.670
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

27:02.750 --> 27:02.910
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

27:02.950 --> 27:03.190
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

27:03.270 --> 27:05.292
[SPEAKER_01]: Because he did us a minute.

27:05.713 --> 27:11.318
[SPEAKER_01]: So Dr. Winston, let's talk a bit about some of the most common financial challenges.

27:12.138 --> 27:16.780
[SPEAKER_01]: your audience faces when you speak before them in different platforms.

27:17.141 --> 27:19.782
[SPEAKER_01]: And how do you help people overcome those challenges?

27:19.902 --> 27:23.604
[SPEAKER_01]: Because we know today there are so many financial challenges.

27:24.864 --> 27:29.206
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, most of them is in debt up to their neck.

27:31.067 --> 27:37.970
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's because they have a lack of knowledge, you know, because the Bible says we perish for lack of knowledge.

27:38.150 --> 27:39.331
[SPEAKER_02]: Knowledge is powerful.

27:40.181 --> 27:51.945
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to apply the knowledge once you know, you know, so they never been taught how many works, you know, most of us wasn't and haven't been, they don't teach it in school, they don't teach it in college.

27:52.266 --> 28:01.649
[SPEAKER_02]: That should be one topic that should be one of the most important things that they talk about in college is financial literacy.

28:02.238 --> 28:02.938
[SPEAKER_02]: for sure.

28:03.139 --> 28:04.039
[SPEAKER_02]: So they don't have it.

28:04.439 --> 28:07.722
[SPEAKER_02]: And then not only that, it's not even taught in the church.

28:08.322 --> 28:11.084
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's biblical perspectives.

28:11.544 --> 28:15.627
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, God tell us to give him his ten percent where we got to have something to give him.

28:17.115 --> 28:21.899
[SPEAKER_02]: We can't give a ten percent if we don't have it, you know.

28:22.239 --> 28:42.697
[SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, I use tools, you know, like tracking, you know, finances or setting a budget, knowing your numbers, you know, having control, stop overspending, you know, you know, budget in, you know, which is a bad word for most people, but budget in is not really, you know,

28:43.417 --> 28:44.277
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a great work.

28:44.317 --> 28:45.438
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a great thing.

28:47.039 --> 28:48.880
[SPEAKER_02]: It shows you where your money is going.

28:49.760 --> 28:51.341
[SPEAKER_02]: Your money is going somewhere.

28:51.641 --> 28:53.682
[SPEAKER_01]: And your money wants you to show it where to go.

28:53.702 --> 28:53.962
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

28:54.003 --> 28:55.343
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to tell it where to go.

28:56.644 --> 28:56.964
[SPEAKER_02]: Right.

28:57.704 --> 28:59.725
[SPEAKER_02]: Is it a getaway from you?

29:00.306 --> 29:06.269
[SPEAKER_02]: So when you live by faith, you know, you position yourself to hear from God for things that you're going to do.

29:06.609 --> 29:08.210
[SPEAKER_02]: He'll give you creative ideas.

29:08.610 --> 29:13.973
[SPEAKER_02]: connection, supernatural strategies, you know, it's, yeah.

29:14.013 --> 29:16.474
[SPEAKER_02]: So you gotta, you gotta take control.

29:16.494 --> 29:18.795
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to have a mindset, you know.

29:19.136 --> 29:20.736
[SPEAKER_02]: So that's what I try to teach them.

29:21.077 --> 29:31.182
[SPEAKER_02]: Those things, know your numbers, budgeting, taking control of your money, stop, you know, doing inventory of what you have,

29:31.642 --> 29:52.472
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, find out, you know, where you could cut corners, you know, you don't have to have all the losses on your TV on your own phone or whatever, you know, if you're going to maximize your expenses, you have got to do some, make some changes.

29:53.252 --> 29:55.633
[SPEAKER_02]: So I start with the track and strategy.

29:56.117 --> 29:58.138
[SPEAKER_02]: Teaching them how to get an emergency fund.

29:58.558 --> 29:59.818
[SPEAKER_02]: Teaching them how to invest.

29:59.878 --> 30:01.599
[SPEAKER_02]: Teaching them that ten, ten, eight of rule.

30:02.479 --> 30:04.260
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to put some money aside.

30:04.680 --> 30:05.540
[SPEAKER_02]: You just have to.

30:05.880 --> 30:08.301
[SPEAKER_02]: You just have to.

30:08.581 --> 30:10.722
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to.

30:11.042 --> 30:13.923
[SPEAKER_02]: You have to make your money work for you.

30:14.783 --> 30:15.443
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.

30:15.704 --> 30:17.604
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just want to share a quick story here.

30:17.684 --> 30:20.945
[SPEAKER_01]: I was in the bank last weekend, in fact.

30:21.405 --> 30:23.226
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, why did you come to our bank?

30:23.646 --> 30:25.707
[SPEAKER_01]: I said, well, I was at a previous bank.

30:26.823 --> 30:32.506
[SPEAKER_01]: I happened to go online and three hundred fifty dollars was spending the journey where I know I hadn't been there to spend anything.

30:33.007 --> 30:33.587
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.

30:33.607 --> 30:35.268
[SPEAKER_01]: So Mr. Van will call you back.

30:35.288 --> 30:36.329
[SPEAKER_01]: They call me back, Mr. Van.

30:36.349 --> 30:38.110
[SPEAKER_01]: What about our employees?

30:38.723 --> 30:40.504
[SPEAKER_01]: I went into your account and they took your money.

30:40.644 --> 30:44.187
[SPEAKER_01]: I said, well, I'll be at the bank tomorrow morning.

30:44.447 --> 30:46.168
[SPEAKER_01]: I took all of my money out of the window.

30:46.749 --> 30:47.809
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep, yep.

30:48.910 --> 30:52.312
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, and we have those, I'll check my account.

30:52.412 --> 30:53.793
[SPEAKER_02]: People don't even check their account.

30:54.094 --> 30:56.815
[SPEAKER_02]: I check my account at least almost every day.

30:58.136 --> 31:03.640
[SPEAKER_02]: Because there has been things that scammed that was bought on my account that I didn't do.

31:03.780 --> 31:04.260
[SPEAKER_02]: I didn't do.

31:05.001 --> 31:07.403
[SPEAKER_02]: And if I didn't check my account, I would never know.

31:08.263 --> 31:18.127
[SPEAKER_01]: So people check your account daily or at least twice a week and be careful where you scan your card as well because.

31:18.207 --> 31:18.747
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.

31:19.027 --> 31:25.310
[SPEAKER_02]: So because of that, if something go wrong, I catch it like right away, you know, and.

31:26.260 --> 31:29.143
[SPEAKER_02]: It inconvenience me because I had to cancel that card.

31:29.303 --> 31:31.605
[SPEAKER_02]: Because I have some automation that comes out.

31:32.025 --> 31:34.027
[SPEAKER_02]: And I got to redo that all over again.

31:34.127 --> 31:39.891
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's better to do that than not even defeated, you know.

31:40.292 --> 31:42.253
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's not the way I'm looking for it.

31:42.273 --> 31:44.315
[SPEAKER_02]: It's very, very, very disputed.

31:44.375 --> 31:46.196
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

31:46.457 --> 31:51.761
[SPEAKER_02]: So those are some of the things people don't know what's going on with their accounts.

31:52.241 --> 31:54.363
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, they max out the credit cards.

31:54.683 --> 31:58.704
[SPEAKER_02]: They pay the minimum amount, which you give in the credit card all the money.

31:58.724 --> 32:01.885
[SPEAKER_02]: You're not paying the bill.

32:01.925 --> 32:04.106
[SPEAKER_02]: If you just pay the minimum, you only pay an interest.

32:04.546 --> 32:15.350
[SPEAKER_02]: So the RLD things is so important for you to take notice of, because you're losing so much money.

32:15.950 --> 32:16.910
[SPEAKER_01]: And subscriptions.

32:17.590 --> 32:30.813
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yes, don't forget that on the Amazon, the Amazon packages that come every weekend, Shane and this one and that one, you know, just stuff, just stuff that we don't even need.

32:31.233 --> 32:31.773
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

32:32.093 --> 32:35.593
[SPEAKER_02]: We just, because we can afford it, or we do it.

32:35.933 --> 32:42.375
[SPEAKER_02]: But you're going to can't afford it because if you don't have an emergency fund, no investment and you really can't afford it.

32:43.735 --> 32:44.575
[SPEAKER_01]: I totally agree.

32:46.755 --> 32:51.417
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you say to people who feel they must choose between living by faith and building wealth?

32:53.518 --> 33:01.800
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you've got to be educated when it comes to money.

33:03.161 --> 33:07.282
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got to be spiritually and financially set.

33:08.078 --> 33:19.844
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, you know, because the Bible talks about it all the time, you know, and then the word, no your word and no your worth.

33:20.444 --> 33:34.132
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, you know, walk in integrity, you know, we got to, we got to walk in integrity, you know, character, you know, you, what you'll give us a track, you know, we are gifted and

33:36.253 --> 33:37.293
[SPEAKER_02]: What what you preach?

33:37.814 --> 33:42.158
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got to walk in it, you know, you've got to see your life.

33:42.658 --> 33:44.319
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got to be first partaker.

33:44.339 --> 33:45.420
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what the words say.

33:45.761 --> 33:46.341
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, right.

33:46.761 --> 33:48.763
[SPEAKER_02]: And then put along fine mentors.

33:48.803 --> 33:50.164
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes we need mentors.

33:50.725 --> 33:51.766
[SPEAKER_02]: You need coaches.

33:52.466 --> 33:53.928
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's okay.

33:54.388 --> 33:56.350
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, be able to community.

33:57.032 --> 33:58.674
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't be afraid to ask for help.

33:59.615 --> 34:02.077
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, we need to help.

34:02.397 --> 34:04.319
[SPEAKER_02]: We got to share all because we need to help.

34:04.579 --> 34:08.383
[SPEAKER_01]: We got it too.

34:08.823 --> 34:11.786
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, people say, oh, I don't want nobody know my business.

34:13.648 --> 34:15.210
[SPEAKER_02]: If you don't, I know your business.

34:15.230 --> 34:16.191
[SPEAKER_02]: You ain't got no business.

34:19.953 --> 34:22.414
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, be bold, be brilliant.

34:22.455 --> 34:23.976
[SPEAKER_02]: If you need help, ask for it.

34:24.416 --> 34:25.737
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what people are for.

34:26.097 --> 34:28.719
[SPEAKER_02]: God has gifted us all with different talents.

34:29.500 --> 34:30.421
[SPEAKER_02]: You utilize them.

34:30.601 --> 34:33.663
[SPEAKER_02]: I utilize every, every avenue I can.

34:34.023 --> 34:35.925
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm, I'm, I'm you like Paul.

34:36.585 --> 34:42.170
[SPEAKER_02]: If I know you know something that I don't know, don't be afraid to ask for help, or support.

34:42.850 --> 34:43.892
[SPEAKER_02]: We are all human.

34:44.393 --> 34:45.515
[SPEAKER_02]: We don't know everything.

34:45.655 --> 34:46.677
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know everything.

34:46.697 --> 34:49.762
[SPEAKER_02]: And when I don't know, I let you know, I don't know.

34:49.782 --> 34:51.364
[SPEAKER_02]: I need you to help me with this.

34:52.310 --> 34:53.211
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's okay.

34:53.591 --> 34:54.392
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a good thing.

34:54.872 --> 34:55.653
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a good thing.

34:55.893 --> 34:57.674
[SPEAKER_02]: We never obtain it all.

34:58.174 --> 34:58.675
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

34:59.055 --> 35:06.540
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, there are so many things that I don't know and I don't mind saying I don't know and I don't mind saying can you help me and show me?

35:06.560 --> 35:09.522
[SPEAKER_02]: Because you show me I don't know.

35:10.063 --> 35:10.683
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm visual.

35:10.843 --> 35:11.884
[SPEAKER_02]: You gotta show it to me.

35:12.224 --> 35:15.587
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't just tell me show me something and I'll do it.

35:16.127 --> 35:17.128
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.

35:17.248 --> 35:19.309
[SPEAKER_02]: And so that's what we have to do.

35:21.370 --> 35:21.690
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

35:21.750 --> 35:28.033
[SPEAKER_01]: I would like to see the younger people I say, Generation Z, I would love to get them to ask questions.

35:28.193 --> 35:29.313
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

35:29.533 --> 35:30.054
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.

35:30.094 --> 35:31.935
[SPEAKER_02]: And my husband tells me, you asked him in a question.

35:32.595 --> 35:33.555
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

35:33.575 --> 35:34.156
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

35:34.316 --> 35:39.818
[SPEAKER_02]: And I said, not all the other day, I worked for a lawyer.

35:39.838 --> 35:41.459
[SPEAKER_02]: So you know, that's a lot of questions.

35:43.240 --> 35:44.301
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's for purpose.

35:44.481 --> 35:51.284
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I want to know so I asked.

35:51.304 --> 35:53.826
[SPEAKER_02]: You asked too many questions.

35:54.066 --> 35:55.747
[SPEAKER_02]: If you don't ask questions, you don't know.

35:56.167 --> 36:06.693
[SPEAKER_01]: Entrepreneur and Arthur, how do you balance your ministry, business and personal rules?

36:08.474 --> 36:11.936
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know, you have to prioritize

36:12.781 --> 36:21.286
[SPEAKER_02]: What's important, you know, I start my day off with God, you know, I don't talk to anybody before I talk to God.

36:21.507 --> 36:32.353
[SPEAKER_02]: So people that already know that, if they call me between A to clock and eleven, you know, they're not gonna get an answer.

36:32.673 --> 36:38.137
[SPEAKER_02]: So I seek God first, you know, because he said acknowledge him in all your ways and hear that Rick your path.

36:38.617 --> 36:40.999
[SPEAKER_02]: And the best time is in the morning we reach.

36:42.573 --> 37:05.673
[SPEAKER_02]: So I pray first and then I do my devotion and so then I schedule my business thing that I'm gonna do my personal growth and all of those things and I practice I rest I reflect and renew you know because you got a rest you know you can't do everything in one day so what you don't do one day you could do it the next day

37:06.272 --> 37:09.634
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I learned that I can't pull from an empty cup.

37:09.874 --> 37:12.295
[SPEAKER_02]: I got to, you know, re-refill.

37:13.535 --> 37:17.637
[SPEAKER_02]: I do, I get on a personal development.

37:17.737 --> 37:25.101
[SPEAKER_02]: That's very key, you know, because if you in business, you got to learn somebody knows something that you don't know, and you got to trust them.

37:25.761 --> 37:26.942
[SPEAKER_02]: And I put on everything.

37:26.982 --> 37:29.943
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that flows, you know, with grace.

37:30.764 --> 37:35.226
[SPEAKER_02]: You know, but the key is putting God first.

37:36.058 --> 37:36.738
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wonderful.

37:37.058 --> 37:37.818
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the key.

37:37.938 --> 37:38.679
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

37:39.339 --> 37:43.840
[SPEAKER_01]: So what advice do you have for women of faith who aspire to lead in business and ministry?

37:45.740 --> 37:47.580
[SPEAKER_02]: First, you got to believe that you've been called.

37:49.121 --> 37:50.961
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got to believe that you've been called.

37:51.041 --> 37:53.841
[SPEAKER_02]: So if your call, then God is going to equip you.

37:54.462 --> 37:54.922
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

37:55.242 --> 38:01.703
[SPEAKER_02]: And here, here, open doors for you if you walk and for you to walk until the

38:03.217 --> 38:14.426
[SPEAKER_02]: So a lot of women and all men, but women, they doubt their place, you know, because men, you know, they feel that they are the children, men, children.

38:14.966 --> 38:19.490
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm the head of you, you know, but women have a risen to the occasion now.

38:20.291 --> 38:25.274
[SPEAKER_02]: There are so many women now in entrepreneur and leadership in on their job.

38:25.355 --> 38:32.200
[SPEAKER_02]: So they have a rose to the occasion, you know, and you gotta get educated, you know, you just can't.

38:32.638 --> 38:34.359
[SPEAKER_02]: Just walk out there with no knowledge.

38:34.419 --> 38:35.639
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got to have education.

38:36.599 --> 38:38.040
[SPEAKER_02]: That's spiritual.

38:38.320 --> 38:39.140
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't forget that.

38:39.520 --> 38:41.981
[SPEAKER_02]: You've got to know the word.

38:42.381 --> 38:49.384
[SPEAKER_02]: Just like people don't think being financial freedom and being spiritual.

38:49.584 --> 38:51.384
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't go with financial, but it does.

38:52.105 --> 38:53.625
[SPEAKER_02]: It all goes together because.

38:53.665 --> 38:54.245
[SPEAKER_02]: That's a lot.

38:54.765 --> 38:55.006
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

38:55.026 --> 38:56.326
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, you just.

39:00.873 --> 39:02.013
[SPEAKER_02]: God is raised like this.

39:02.093 --> 39:04.134
[SPEAKER_02]: God is raising up some bold people now.

39:04.454 --> 39:05.654
[SPEAKER_02]: We are bold.

39:05.995 --> 39:10.936
[SPEAKER_02]: We used to be setting back and not allowing our forces to be here.

39:10.996 --> 39:12.096
[SPEAKER_02]: Let your voice be here.

39:12.496 --> 39:13.777
[SPEAKER_02]: Someone needs what you have.

39:14.077 --> 39:15.237
[SPEAKER_02]: Someone needs your voice.

39:15.697 --> 39:17.558
[SPEAKER_02]: So just do it.

39:18.543 --> 39:24.046
[SPEAKER_02]: If God gave it to you, and you know God gave it to you, He's going to open a door for you to do it.

39:24.406 --> 39:24.666
[SPEAKER_02]: Sure.

39:24.846 --> 39:26.867
[SPEAKER_02]: And you don't want to creep this way, I'm not.

39:27.227 --> 39:27.828
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

39:27.848 --> 39:28.708
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

39:29.128 --> 39:41.034
[SPEAKER_02]: So just walk in them, walk in them boldly, proud, you know, and just be humble, but walk in your purpose and your call, because we all been called to something.

39:41.606 --> 39:43.047
[SPEAKER_02]: For sure, absolutely.

39:43.287 --> 39:45.148
[SPEAKER_01]: We have all been called to something.

39:46.369 --> 39:55.715
[SPEAKER_01]: So Dr. Winston, what's next for the Western experience of any new books coming up, events or initiatives you like, the audience to know more about?

39:56.815 --> 39:59.397
[SPEAKER_02]: I just published a book called United in Purpose.

39:59.957 --> 40:00.618
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

40:00.938 --> 40:02.379
[SPEAKER_02]: Because we all have been purpose.

40:03.239 --> 40:04.540
[SPEAKER_02]: So I just finished that book.

40:05.664 --> 40:16.271
[SPEAKER_02]: And about to publish another one this month, it's called, oh my goodness, I lost my thought.

40:17.592 --> 40:18.993
[SPEAKER_02]: What is the name of that book?

40:20.754 --> 40:23.636
[SPEAKER_02]: Love life, relationship, and finances.

40:25.217 --> 40:26.337
[SPEAKER_02]: So that will be coming out.

40:26.497 --> 40:28.739
[SPEAKER_02]: Matter of fact, we just sent it to the editor today.

40:29.339 --> 40:29.579
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

40:31.152 --> 40:33.313
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, Dan, I'm doing another book.

40:34.053 --> 40:36.234
[SPEAKER_02]: I think September and leadership.

40:37.215 --> 40:37.775
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

40:37.795 --> 40:57.403
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, the Western experience is, um, it still start, uh, striving, uh, because I'm teaching people how to become debt free, how to eliminate debt, how to repair your credit, how to become stress free, because when you debt free, you're stress free.

40:58.258 --> 41:02.580
[SPEAKER_02]: So I can't stress that enough for young people coming along.

41:03.080 --> 41:07.662
[SPEAKER_02]: As I say, I'm most of you don't know, but I'm seven and four years young.

41:08.262 --> 41:09.763
[SPEAKER_02]: We'll be seven and five this year.

41:10.403 --> 41:15.385
[SPEAKER_02]: And I've done more than last ten years than I've done my previous year.

41:15.625 --> 41:17.586
[SPEAKER_02]: Because there's so many people to reach.

41:17.986 --> 41:22.888
[SPEAKER_02]: There's so many people need financial literacy and education.

41:23.509 --> 41:26.130
[SPEAKER_02]: And so that's my life.

41:27.210 --> 41:33.276
[SPEAKER_02]: dedicated myself to helping people get out of debt because that is a hindrance for most of us.

41:33.316 --> 41:36.479
[SPEAKER_02]: We can't do a lot of things because we don't have the finances.

41:36.619 --> 41:37.540
[SPEAKER_02]: He gave power to power.

41:37.560 --> 41:40.303
[SPEAKER_02]: He gave you power to power this.

41:45.668 --> 41:46.529
[SPEAKER_02]: It's okay.

41:46.889 --> 41:48.491
[SPEAKER_02]: God said it's okay.

41:49.533 --> 41:52.757
[SPEAKER_02]: You gotta know what the scripture say is okay.

41:53.177 --> 41:55.380
[SPEAKER_02]: What happened when when was a Peter John asked him you know

42:00.506 --> 42:03.408
[SPEAKER_02]: What should I give to who pays Jesus his money?

42:03.668 --> 42:04.229
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you say?

42:04.589 --> 42:07.431
[SPEAKER_02]: Go to go now and fish and fish.

42:07.871 --> 42:11.914
[SPEAKER_02]: Open his mouth and take the corn out and pay to pay mine and yours.

42:12.114 --> 42:12.734
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

42:12.754 --> 42:13.915
[SPEAKER_01]: Be the fisher.

42:13.955 --> 42:14.355
[SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

42:14.556 --> 42:15.916
[SPEAKER_02]: And back to what did he do?

42:16.277 --> 42:18.558
[SPEAKER_02]: He sent him out to invade his money.

42:18.578 --> 42:20.339
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

42:20.420 --> 42:22.121
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, God was the look.

42:22.741 --> 42:25.062
[SPEAKER_02]: The authors don't have nothing on God.

42:25.362 --> 42:28.123
[SPEAKER_02]: God with the first one is an investment.

42:28.583 --> 42:30.284
[SPEAKER_02]: You gotta know what the words say.

42:30.464 --> 42:31.585
[SPEAKER_02]: From the thing about it.

42:31.965 --> 42:36.567
[SPEAKER_01]: This has been taken place for generations.

42:37.607 --> 42:37.907
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

42:38.428 --> 42:39.588
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

42:39.888 --> 42:42.569
[SPEAKER_02]: And it should be taught more in church too.

42:42.949 --> 42:44.850
[SPEAKER_01]: It should be taught more.

42:45.090 --> 42:47.151
[SPEAKER_02]: But when you get a hold of it, run with it.

42:47.531 --> 42:48.092
[SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

42:48.312 --> 42:51.273
[SPEAKER_02]: And then because nobody could tell me about it now because

42:51.653 --> 42:52.673
[SPEAKER_02]: I read it in the book.

42:53.254 --> 42:59.236
[SPEAKER_02]: And if God says, okay, it's okay.

42:59.356 --> 43:01.897
[SPEAKER_01]: He says, okay, it's okay.

43:02.357 --> 43:05.138
