what we do today with

0:02

broadcast year 30, authority, which

0:04

is a very simplified similar

0:06

system on the data-driven

0:08

side, right? We wanted to still

0:10

fill that void where business owners

0:13

and CEOs and founders felt like

0:15

they could broadcast their authority in

0:17

a more impactful way, but also

0:19

have the data behind it. Like,

0:22

here's, here's what people are

0:24

actually searching. The number

0:26

one podcast for self-improvement

0:28

leadership and relentless growth.

0:30

No fluff, no filters,

0:32

just heart hitting truths,

0:34

unstoppable strategies, and the

0:36

mindset shifts that separate

0:39

the best from the

0:41

rest. Ready to break limits?

0:43

1:26

T-squared. Tammer Thompson, how you

1:28

doing T-2? I'm doing awesome. Thanks,

1:30

Mick. I appreciate that. The T-squared

1:32

introduction. I was like, that goes way

1:35

back. There you go. Good stuff, good

1:37

stuff. So T-square, man. I want to

1:39

get right there, go into it. You

1:41

do a lot of amazing things for

1:43

a lot of people. We probably have

1:45

known each other for close to

1:47

a year now since I started

1:50

this podcasting. What is your

1:52

because? What's that thing that

1:55

drives you that is your

1:57

that accountability to whatever it

1:59

is? What's Tamara's Because? You know,

2:02

people have asked me similar frame

2:04

questions. I like yours better than

2:06

like, what's your why? It's your

2:08

because. It's very, very powerful. Right.

2:11

Why because, you know, I think

2:13

it started, and I didn't even

2:15

realize what my because was probably

2:17

over the years as things were

2:20

actually growing and formulating because was

2:22

going down the line. And years

2:24

back, I actually just wanted

2:26

to. to actually connect with more people. Like

2:28

I genuinely just wanted to connect people,

2:30

help people, talk to people. It was

2:32

one of those things that was just

2:34

kind of, part of my personality, I

2:36

guess. I just wanted to be there

2:39

to help support people. And in different

2:41

experiences being able to help people with

2:43

not just their podcast, but their life

2:45

or introductions or connections or driving someone

2:47

to the doctor or just like doing

2:49

something out of the norm, like I

2:52

always wanted to do something where I

2:54

just wanted to. say hey and like

2:56

expect something from it. So like then

2:58

I started like kind of tap into

3:00

what that really look like and

3:02

I truly believe because you know

3:04

a lot of people in my

3:06

family live these generations of entrepreneurship

3:08

and thing like that and my

3:10

mom was actually an entrepreneur growing

3:12

up as a kid and I

3:14

saw how hard she put work

3:16

into things and she helped build

3:18

our family actually she was actually

3:20

the stable one in the family.

3:23

and my dad would go through

3:25

jobs like underwear, you know, rest

3:27

in pieces, no longer with us

3:29

today. I still love you dad. And

3:31

so, but we had this like stress

3:33

level piece of it, but there was

3:35

this part of my mom that she

3:37

would always like. do certain things and she

3:40

would build the success and she would always talk

3:42

about like how I had these dreams and how

3:44

I could always help other people and so I

3:46

believed her and I really wanted to. She was

3:48

like you can go and do whatever you want

3:50

and help more people in the world you could

3:52

be an entrepreneur too Tamra and that was something

3:54

that I actually thought of until I was an

3:56

entrepreneur because I really didn't think I was going

3:58

to go down that that path. I think it

4:00

was because of some of the struggles

4:02

that we had in our life growing up

4:04

that started leading me onto this path of

4:07

understanding that I could do something much

4:09

more for other people that led back to

4:11

a bigger mission. And that's what we did

4:13

at Broadcaster Authority because we've now built a

4:16

network of over thousands of business influencers and

4:18

CEOs and work with them with their podcast

4:20

pieces. And I was like, wow. I'm like,

4:22

I'm actually doing that because I wanted to

4:25

help more people in that long. It

4:27

may sound a little cliche, but you know,

4:29

it really is that point. Like, when

4:31

I was decided I could actually help

4:33

more people and I actually showed results

4:35

for more people, then the doors also

4:37

started opening in my space as well.

4:39

So hopefully that answers a little bit

4:41

of the backstory, but it really kind

4:43

of stemmed from the entrepreneurial path that

4:45

my mom had. And then she kind

4:47

of guided me and showed me and showed

4:49

me. My dad was a dreamer. That dreamer part,

4:52

he didn't quite keep the jobs, but

4:54

when he was a dreamer, he was always

4:56

like, you can do it, you know. But then

4:58

he's like, sorry, I lost my job, you

5:00

know, but when it was like that stress,

5:03

but I was like, I know I can

5:05

go out there and impact more people, serve

5:07

more people, but actually do something to make

5:09

money from it because my mom showed me

5:12

that path. And so that really inspired me

5:14

to go into that. And it was just

5:16

kind of a mentality I had growing.

5:18

Yeah, so you know, I'm gonna unplug

5:20

a few things that you said there,

5:22

but I want to give you a

5:24

quick shout out While I'm looking at

5:27

you face to face. So one of

5:29

the things that I truly admire about

5:31

UT is You're a genuine friend,

5:33

right? Like there I can't tell

5:35

you how many times you just shoot

5:37

me an email, right? This says hey,

5:40

how you doing or shoot me

5:42

a Instagram message like just checking

5:44

in on you and that crap means

5:46

a lot Right, that tells me who

5:48

you are at your core. And I

5:50

just wanted to tell you face

5:52

to face or, you know, monitor

5:54

to monitor, just really appreciate the

5:56

soul that you are at. I

5:59

appreciate. I appreciate that. Well, I appreciate

6:01

your soul too. And, you know, when people

6:03

come into your path, like, you genuinely feel

6:05

connected more to certain souls. And when I

6:07

have conversations with people, including yourself, just like...

6:09

I want to stay connected. I want to

6:12

touch base. You could touch base somebody every

6:14

seven days or every seven months or every

6:16

seven weeks and you still feel connected to

6:18

that person. You still want to see how

6:20

they're doing. And that's what I put forth

6:22

to with most of our connections that I

6:24

built over the years. Like, literally today I

6:26

was like, you know, I should reach out

6:29

to so and so and so. So I

6:31

was like, I literally would just like. started messaging

6:33

a bunch of my connections even today and this

6:35

morning because I was like I want to know

6:37

what's going on in their lives right so I

6:39

like set up all these calls for this week

6:41

and I just like I go to these spurts

6:44

where I just want to understand what people

6:46

need what they want and how I can

6:48

help serve them and then other things start

6:50

to open from there and that's really what

6:52

happens with those just even we call maybe

6:54

basic touch points but it really means

6:57

something to most people so yeah and

6:59

so if you're listening if you're watching Do

7:01

me a favor, do 10 or a

7:03

favor. Right now, there's somebody that's

7:05

on your heart that's on your mind.

7:07

And we all have it, right? But

7:09

right now, there's really somebody

7:11

that's like, you know you should reach out

7:14

or your heart's telling you to

7:16

reach out. Do that as soon as you

7:18

listen to this episode. I want you

7:20

to really take three minutes and

7:22

just reach out to that person that

7:24

right now is on your heart that's

7:26

on your mind. Do that for me

7:29

and T. I appreciate that. Right

7:31

now, right now, right now. So

7:33

Tamara, let's talk about broadcast your

7:36

authority. What was in your mind

7:38

the gap that you felt like

7:40

was missing in order for

7:42

you to start that

7:44

company? Because what most

7:46

people don't understand is when

7:49

an entrepreneur starts a

7:51

business, usually they see that

7:53

there's a void, there's something

7:55

missing, and that they're the

7:58

ones to fulfill it. What

8:00

was that void that was missing that

8:02

said, oh, I'm going to start a

8:04

company and solve this problem? That's a

8:06

great question. So at times I felt like

8:08

there were multiple gaps that we're

8:10

jumping in there with. I was like,

8:13

can't just point just one down. You

8:15

know, what was unique about it is,

8:17

originally, it started way back, actually, when

8:19

we had our production company first

8:21

before we evolved into broadcast your

8:23

authority. So to give you some

8:26

context here, we had a production

8:28

company where We really felt like we

8:30

wanted to help people share their message

8:32

and their stories in a more

8:34

impactful way, but also got them

8:36

results. And so we would create

8:39

these. short form content pieces which

8:41

we called teaser videos trailer videos

8:43

and we led them back to

8:45

a long form content piece which

8:47

back then we were directing impactful

8:49

documentary films but of course those

8:51

we were with brands celebrities influencers

8:53

entrepreneurs CEOs we started doing all

8:55

these films but a lot of

8:57

that of course is just like

8:59

a one-off project right and so we

9:01

thought to ourselves well How can we

9:03

help work with more people? And there

9:05

was a moment where we had a

9:08

teaser video take off and it had

9:10

888,000 views. That's angel numbers for you.

9:12

888. And so when it took off,

9:15

it had that in a matter of

9:17

like less than 10 days taking off

9:19

on YouTube. And we were literally

9:22

like, what was that? And so we're

9:24

like, OK, let's learn and figure out

9:26

this YouTube piece. And that was back

9:28

in 2012. So when we jumped in,

9:31

learn all the algorithms, all that was

9:33

a mixture of like content, topics, inspiration,

9:35

even the music use that was impactful

9:37

that took off on the channel. So

9:40

we turned around and said, well, how

9:42

can we, and that's where it involved

9:44

and shifted into what we do today

9:46

with Broadcast Year 30 Authority, which is

9:49

a very simplified similar system on the

9:51

data driven side, right? We wanted to

9:53

still fill that void where business owners

9:56

and CEOs and founders felt like they

9:58

could broadcast their. authority and in a

10:00

more impactful way, but also have the

10:02

data behind it. Like, here's what people

10:04

are actually searching for. You know, this

10:07

is what actually performed the best on

10:09

your channel. This is what we suggest

10:11

you do more of because this content

10:13

took off. So if your audience has

10:16

already spoken about your content in your

10:18

episodes, do more of what they love

10:20

and pay attention to that data. So

10:23

it really turned into this. platform that

10:25

people were able to share their message

10:27

in an impactful way, but also have

10:29

direction so that they could, you know,

10:32

analyze the data, see what's taking off,

10:34

take, you know, feedback. It's like, hey,

10:36

this isn't working, this is working, hey,

10:39

let's try something else, let's change

10:41

the thumbnails, you know, let's do

10:43

YouTube thumbnails. So there's a lot

10:46

of, you know, techie stuff, data

10:48

stuff in there as well, but

10:50

it was always back to stepped

10:52

into that space because podcasting wasn't

10:55

necessarily as big as it is

10:57

today, but what was unique about

10:59

when COVID came online. There was

11:02

so many more listeners to podcast. There

11:04

were more creators to podcast, but far

11:06

more listeners. And then now it's such

11:08

a huge medium to be able to

11:10

help people share their stories through podcasting

11:13

and broadcast your authority has been able

11:15

to help in different ways from the side

11:17

of the creation side from the actually one-stop

11:19

shop for your show or on the side

11:21

of your podcast booking tours if you want

11:23

to be booked on other people shows and

11:26

then we have our experience model. So

11:28

that's my favorite part of it because

11:30

I get a connect. with people in

11:32

person, put together these awesome PR experiences,

11:34

connect the dots, and bring people together.

11:36

And that's really what we do as

11:39

a whole. So I call it the

11:41

three tripod legs, because that's really what

11:43

it was about the background of videography

11:45

and filmmaking in the background. It evolved

11:47

from that into the three tripod legs

11:49

of broadcast your authority and how we

11:51

serve our clients at this point. So

11:54

that's really well. I felt like we kind

11:56

of came into that one stop shop,

11:58

filling different things, but it really. back

12:00

from stemming that they really

12:02

wanted to share their message

12:04

in a more data-driven way. Yeah

12:06

and so so impressed with that

12:08

and obviously I know you so I

12:10

want you to tell the world

12:13

this but why is storytelling so

12:15

important to someone or some

12:17

entities brand? So for the viewers

12:19

and listeners right now you're about

12:22

to hear from the guru and

12:24

listeners right now you're about to

12:26

hear from the guru and But

12:28

the guru when it comes to

12:30

storytelling as it relates to your

12:33

overall brand. So T like, why is

12:35

that important? And then I'm going to

12:37

do a follow-up with for the people

12:39

that are listening, what are some steps

12:42

they can take to get that in

12:44

action? You know, what's interesting, Mick, is

12:46

the fact that a lot of people

12:48

don't believe that they have. a strong

12:50

enough story to share. I think

12:52

a lot of people actually, there's

12:54

big brands, corporations, that tell the

12:57

company brand story, which is very

12:59

important, right? We work with corporations,

13:01

brands, entrepreneurs, the ones that I

13:03

have the most passionate for, though,

13:05

is the business owners, the entrepreneurs

13:07

on that side. And when they're

13:09

able to step in and understand

13:12

that they actually have a story

13:14

to share, but having an expert

13:16

come in and kind of pull

13:18

that story. out, I think people

13:20

also start to share the wrong stories.

13:22

One of the things that I did

13:25

in my early years, I went way

13:27

back and was like telling my story

13:29

from like way back here all the

13:32

way through these these trenches to like

13:34

built this part to success, right? There's

13:36

incremental stories within so if you could

13:38

take those little bitty pieces of the

13:41

stories that has an overarching over you

13:43

know the arch basically of storytelling right and

13:45

understand that you can tell these stories in

13:47

different ways especially on podcast right so obviously

13:49

you have podcasts with multiple episodes right you're

13:51

not going to talk about the same thing

13:53

over and over and over again right so

13:55

if they have a specific show you want

13:57

to make sure that they have a story

14:00

that aligns with the content

14:02

of the day. Right. And so I think when

14:04

people can really hone in on what that overall

14:06

arc story is for the show and the

14:08

brand and the company or themselves and then

14:11

find all the many stories within so then

14:13

they can leverage those pieces out to come

14:15

back to the arc storytelling piece of it.

14:17

That's the most important part is to find

14:19

like what is the bigger picture? What is

14:22

it because of the company? What is it

14:24

because of the brand? And you wrap that

14:26

back back back around really nicely on that

14:28

side. So hopefully that answers that question.

14:31

Absolutely. And the second question

14:33

I wanted to talk to the

14:35

guru about is this, and I've been

14:37

saying this for the past two and

14:39

a half, almost three years, because

14:42

the trajectory of who I am

14:44

outside of what most people know

14:46

me for in the insurance space

14:48

started happening when I looked

14:50

at growth as PR over marketing.

14:53

Right? Like, I'll never say marketing

14:55

is not important. Those

14:57

are listening. You know, I've said

14:59

this probably a hundred times now.

15:02

Marketing is important, but to

15:04

me PR is much more important.

15:06

Like to me PR supersedes marketing

15:08

because... You've got an email list

15:10

and you're marketing to the same thousand

15:13

people. That list can only stream. You

15:15

have to expand more with PR because

15:17

you're getting that exposure. You're leveraging different

15:19

credibility options out there. Right. You're getting

15:22

on other people's shows that have, you

15:24

know, a large following too. Or you're,

15:26

when you do a PR tour, like

15:28

let's say a podcast booking tour or

15:31

you're getting booked on TV shows, maybe

15:33

you're good morning America, maybe you have

15:35

a book launch. all those things are

15:37

super important for when you're doing something

15:40

with a big push or you want

15:42

more of a consistent growth method because

15:44

once you do that push with

15:46

PR first that's where the marketing

15:48

comes in second because then you're

15:50

going through and then you're nurturing

15:52

those people that come in from

15:54

those interviews those campaigns those appearances

15:56

they come through like oh I

15:58

found you on mix podcast I loved

16:01

your story I'd love to connect with

16:03

you because that would be a PR

16:05

positioning factor right so when you do

16:07

that it's great opportunity and be very

16:09

grateful for all the PR opportunities that

16:12

are out there and then step forth

16:14

and say like. Great, like how can

16:16

we now serve this individual or this

16:18

person that's reaching out? That turns into

16:20

the marketing efforts of how that funnel

16:23

goes through. But it's more than just

16:25

a funnel. You know what I mean?

16:27

It's just like you're building relationships or

16:29

you're building community aspects. So I

16:31

agree with you 100% I believe

16:34

PR is one exponential tool and

16:36

resource that can help brands individuals

16:38

leaders authors speakers to really position

16:41

themselves out there and that really

16:43

helps see that that effort that

16:45

goes into the marketing that is

16:48

should be consistent on a marketing

16:50

side of it. Wholeheartedly whole

16:52

heartily. So T now I want to talk

16:54

I mean we I've been talking to

16:57

you personally this whole time. But

16:59

I want to talk about you

17:01

a little bit, your journey. What's

17:04

the biggest challenge

17:06

that you've had to

17:08

overcome? Personal or business?

17:11

Or both? Wherever you

17:13

want to take it, I don't

17:15

care. You know what's funny,

17:17

Mick, is I went through

17:19

my personal journey first. about

17:23

14 years ago in December, I

17:25

decided to sober up. I stopped

17:28

drinking alcohol, any substance, cigarettes, you

17:30

name it, anything. Just cold turkey

17:32

due to having some run-ins with

17:34

the law multiple times. So I

17:36

have this very deep story of

17:39

the ins and outs of jail

17:41

systems in my 20s and putting

17:43

together this opportunity for myself

17:45

that actually created my life path

17:47

from there, but I wouldn't take

17:49

it back for the world. Yeah.

17:52

On a deeper note, I was

17:54

actually put away for a few months

17:56

locked up, locked away. I was put

17:58

on house arrest for nine months. So

18:00

a total of a year, I was

18:02

put away, basically, if it was locked

18:04

up with an ankle bracelet, like Lindsay

18:07

Lowhand, it was back around the same

18:09

time she was dealing with it too.

18:11

Look at her now today, she's doing

18:13

great. So, you know, I went through

18:15

that journey, but the things that I

18:18

went through, through that process of ins

18:20

and outs of jail and courtrooms

18:22

and attorneys and going in debt

18:24

from going through these experiences

18:27

that. was because I went through my own

18:29

depression period and I won't go into that

18:31

part of it. But once I came out

18:33

of that depression and I sobered up, that

18:36

was actually when I decided to go

18:38

into the entrepreneurial space and actually went

18:40

back to film school in my late 20s.

18:42

And then I started a company at the

18:44

age of 30. And so that was when

18:46

I actually sobered up. It took the first

18:48

two years to really figure out that point

18:50

of what I wanted to do, but I

18:53

took that hobby of filmmaking and YouTube and

18:55

turned it into a into a company. And

18:57

then I told myself later on line, later

18:59

in life, that by going through that stuff,

19:01

I became extremely resilient. Things just didn't

19:03

phase me. The BS bullshitter, you know,

19:05

sorry, didn't mean this work. But yeah,

19:08

it's my podcast, you can say what

19:10

you want. There you go. Yeah, I can, I

19:12

can read people. And so when I went through

19:14

that process of really understanding

19:17

that and trusting my gut

19:19

and intuition through different experiences,

19:21

joining masterminds, attending events. I

19:24

really started figuring out what my

19:26

soul's purpose really was on this journey.

19:28

And so I started living that life

19:30

the way that I wanted to, and then

19:32

I wanted to help more people, but I

19:34

wanted to do it through some sort of

19:36

service that I enjoyed, which back then, of

19:38

course, was video and filmmaking, and then

19:41

it evolved into podcasting. And so,

19:43

but what's unique about it is

19:45

I've hit... like tons of like

19:47

barriers walls failures fall fallovers through

19:49

business opportunity and growth I may

19:51

have hit a specific set of

19:53

success that people see as success

19:55

at this point in life but

19:58

it didn't come easy right And

20:00

so, but all of those trials and tribulations

20:02

that went through in the business side of

20:04

it, all of it was because of everything

20:06

that went through in that personal rock bottom

20:09

journey. Everything today I always tell my

20:11

team, they're always like, how did you, how

20:13

did you handle that conversation? And I'm like,

20:15

I was like it really didn't phase me.

20:17

It's just something that had to be done

20:19

because of the fact that I've dealt with

20:22

harder in my life and it pushed me

20:24

and propelled me into a stronger woman in

20:26

business because of those life stories that I

20:28

had with my past. And so it all

20:31

evolves and changes and shifts. in my mindset

20:33

completely shifted and stepped into

20:35

as more of like a

20:37

leader with the company and

20:39

started removing myself from different

20:41

things and started focusing on

20:43

what I was passionate about

20:45

and allowing everybody else to

20:47

do everything that they were passionate about

20:49

and skilled at. And so that was

20:52

really more of my path, but that's a

20:54

little bit more of my backstory. So

20:56

I just learned something. I didn't know

20:58

my best friend went to prison. Like

21:01

cell block D, solitary, you

21:03

were good? I'm not that bad, but

21:05

it was more like a women's

21:07

correctional facility. So we like

21:09

shared the space and it

21:11

was, it was hard because

21:13

people were coming in, you know,

21:16

like late at night, they'd like bring

21:18

them in, you know, people come in

21:20

like, oh, she just came in from

21:22

the psych ward, you know, or she's

21:25

coming down off meth. So there were

21:27

like some very intriguing. times

21:29

where I just they actually saw me as a

21:31

leader in there and the women in there respected

21:33

me as they got to know me the ones

21:36

that were in there with me for the time

21:38

and it was very interesting to see because I

21:40

I I'm fairly tall for a woman five

21:42

nine and I was in the actually

21:44

in the best shape of my life

21:46

because I was constantly doing like what

21:48

you know, try some depths dips off

21:50

the bunks, you know, wall sits off

21:52

the wall, lunges across the room, doing

21:54

stuff off the picnic table that was

21:56

pinned to the floor, you know, like

21:58

everything was pinned down. you

22:02

know, the stories that I

22:04

have in there as well,

22:06

but like everything that went

22:08

through, like I was even

22:10

told that I inspired the

22:12

officers in there too. Like

22:14

it was, it was, it was

22:16

weird, like after I got out,

22:19

like all of a sudden the

22:21

officers like in there were trying to

22:23

add me on Facebook and I was

22:26

like, I do not believe this is

22:28

a good idea. and this gal was

22:30

being bullied and this is another thing

22:32

that in my past I was very

22:34

much bullied in middle school and I

22:37

don't ever appreciate anyone talking down to

22:39

anybody or bullying somebody and I will

22:41

step in and say something when I

22:43

see fit. And she was bullying this

22:45

nice woman that had been in there

22:47

and she came in and I was

22:50

sitting on that bolted down bench, right?

22:52

And so she was standing in front

22:54

of me and I was wearing glasses

22:56

at the time, just like you. I

22:58

had had Lacek since then, but grateful

23:00

for that. But I was wearing glasses

23:02

and the first thing I thought when

23:04

she came at me was I'm going

23:06

to get my glasses smashed in my

23:08

eyes right about now, but I'm not

23:10

going to flinch. So I literally said,

23:12

hey, you know. You don't need to speak

23:14

with her like that like she's you

23:16

know just asking a question I could

23:18

tell that the mental health was was

23:21

not stable. And at that point after

23:23

open my mouth the gal lunged at

23:25

me basically pulls her fist up right

23:27

into my face and I literally was

23:29

like okay I could let lose my eye

23:31

right now or I could stay calm and

23:34

they'll get the officers in here. which it

23:36

was the latter. And so it went through that process

23:38

that gal was removed, but it was like, after

23:40

that, all the women also saw me as a

23:42

leader too in that scenario, they always like would

23:44

flock and be like, what do you want to

23:46

watch on TV? I was like, well, what do you

23:48

guys want to watch as a collectively whole?

23:50

And so things like shark tank and other

23:52

things like that. So I started learning more

23:54

business while it was away and then watching

23:57

it more when I was out. And so

23:59

then I went into entrepreneurs. leadership later on

24:01

in life. But it was very

24:03

interesting to, you know, see that.

24:05

But that really was part of

24:07

my monumental experience from a personal

24:09

path from being bullied, younger, to

24:11

being pulled over for DUIs, to

24:13

being put away to the jail,

24:15

to the house arrest, to interlock

24:17

on my car for five years,

24:20

you know, those little blowy things.

24:22

Yeah, five years. So that's how

24:24

bad it was. I also lived

24:26

in Seattle, Washington, which was probably

24:28

the second worst state for DUIs

24:30

at that point, which I understand.

24:32

But I'm actually grateful. I went

24:34

through all of it because it

24:36

put me in debt. It put

24:38

me through these experiences. I had

24:40

to live and learn and figure

24:42

out how to grow and get

24:44

through them. And I actually ended

24:46

up negotiating with the judge for

24:48

my sentence and got the best

24:51

case. scenario for myself with the

24:53

lesser amount through the experience because

24:55

of the knowledge of negotiation, which

24:57

is also a planning business. So

24:59

yeah, I've just taken all those

25:01

things. So yeah, it's a lot

25:03

more backstory there. But that really

25:05

propelled me into the woman I

25:07

am today. So and you are

25:09

amazing today. So I want you

25:11

to know that. So I appreciate

25:13

it. Again, I just realized that

25:15

T used to be a gangster.

25:17
