Hello, welcome to the Careers4Kids podcast where kids learn careers.

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,320
This is Maxwell Valencia.

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,320
And this is Henry Morrison.

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:17,320
And today we have Benjamin Nandy, a newscaster at Westchester.

5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:23,120
Hello Mr. Nandy, I'm interested in what a newscaster is about it.

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,320
I hope to have an amazing interview with you.

7
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,400
Hey gang, how you doing?

8
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,320
I am really nervous, but hopefully you'll walk me through it.

9
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,200
I've never done an interview for a podcast before.

10
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,400
I've never been the guy who got interviewed.

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:41,880
So well, we're going to try to make this as easy as possible.

12
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,800
We have an easy question.

13
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,520
Pills, what do you currently do right now?

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,520
Like, how do you do the job?

15
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,600
And like, oh, you had to come out of the gates with the hard hitting question.

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,400
OK, I'm a reporter.

17
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:54,360
I'm a journalist.

18
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,360
I'm with News 12 Westchester and News 12 Hudson Valley.

19
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,560
It's a news service provided by Optimum.

20
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,760
If you have Optimum, then you have News 12.

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,360
Oh yeah, I have Optimum.

22
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,960
But really, if you have the internet nowadays, you have News 12.

23
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:10,560
Yep.

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,760
So tell us more about your career and how did you get to this position?

25
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,760
Yeah, it's so interesting.

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,960
How did you?

27
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:23,960
Well, I think I've lived in about seven or eight places.

28
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:25,960
So it was kind of a long journey.

29
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:29,960
I started in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

30
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:31,160
What's that?

31
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,560
It's cowboy country, but it's really actually it was the best move I ever made going there

32
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,160
for my first real paying job.

33
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:45,160
I mean, I got interested in it by being an intern at a station Action News in Philly,

34
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,360
Philadelphia.

35
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,560
And but Wyoming was my first real job where I was anchoring and recording and doing the

36
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:52,560
whole thing.

37
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:58,360
And it was yeah, that was a really smart move.

38
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:06,360
And then from there went to gosh, Atlantic City, Ohio, Alabama, West Virginia, Kentucky.

39
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,360
Now I'm here.

40
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:11,760
Whoa, that's like a really like good like how you just got to this.

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:12,760
It's like insane.

42
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,760
Like a lot of places.

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:14,760
Which one?

44
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,760
Actually, I have a question for the next one.

45
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,760
Which one was your favorite place?

46
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:21,760
I know it's totally off topic, but what was your favorite place to live?

47
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,960
Oh, well, I mean this currently.

48
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,560
This is the best place I've ever worked at when I'm out in the community.

49
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:40,160
I mean, because people watch News 12 nonstop all the time over dinner while they're ironing

50
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:41,660
their clothes in the morning.

51
00:02:41,660 --> 00:02:43,860
It's a really big deal.

52
00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:47,040
And it's kind of humbling really.

53
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:54,640
So definitely News 12, but before that, Alabama.

54
00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:00,440
I worked at the Fox affiliate in Huntsville, Alabama, and I was the weekend anchor and

55
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,640
I kind of ran the show and kind of ran like a team.

56
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:08,920
There was like five or six hours and it was that was really cool.

57
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:11,560
I would say that was my favorite after after News 12.

58
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,960
I'd be like really I'm like interested in like I like a newscast like anchors and stuff.

59
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:23,120
But what part of your job do you enjoy the most and dislike the most of being like in

60
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:24,120
the news?

61
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,120
Oh, that I like the most?

62
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,280
Yeah, and dislike.

63
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,480
I guess I like that being a local news reporter.

64
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:37,840
I really like it because once you do a story with somebody, you're connected with that

65
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:43,000
person and that person can be a source for stories down the road.

66
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:49,760
You can have coffee with that person and make some kind of friendship professional obviously,

67
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,960
but in order to get other stories and learn more about like what the story was that you

68
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,040
did with them in the first place.

69
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,080
That's a big deal to me.

70
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,080
If you're a national news reporter, which I don't really want to be on like the nightly

71
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:08,400
news or anything, those are more they call that parachuting where you just go into a

72
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,240
community, you don't know anybody and you try and you do the story and then you fly

73
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,640
somewhere else and you don't ever see those people again.

74
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,760
And so it's a big difference between local news and national news.

75
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,600
And that's really what I like the most about local news.

76
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,800
And what do you dislike the most about your job?

77
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,760
Dislike.

78
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:39,880
I guess during the course of my day, I dislike having to find bathrooms or places to wash

79
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:48,120
my hands while I'm seriously while I'm trying to hit a deadline at three o'clock or five

80
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,120
o'clock.

81
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,600
They're very random, but very true.

82
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,600
Disruptions like that.

83
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,000
It can be kind of tough.

84
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,880
I mean, I got to say, yeah, I guess I should have practically thought more about this one.

85
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:05,940
But that was that's it really can throw a wrench in your day when you have deadlines

86
00:05:05,940 --> 00:05:08,160
and you work on deadlines every day.

87
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,680
So that not just go to the bathroom, I mean, but like washing your hands or doing like

88
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,320
doing a personal task.

89
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:20,560
I find myself in a vacuum between like when I wake up in the morning and when I hit my

90
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:25,640
deadline at six and it's hard for me to do a lot of other things.

91
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:31,840
Obviously, you know, if my mom calls, I want to talk to her or I need to wash up because

92
00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:34,200
I was out in the mud doing a live shot.

93
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:35,200
I need to do that.

94
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,560
But it's it throws me off a little bit.

95
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,400
So I guess that's my answer.

96
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:42,400
I don't know.

97
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:43,400
Was that good?

98
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:44,400
I don't know what I'm talking about.

99
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,120
It doesn't it doesn't really matter.

100
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,120
I mean, I guess it does.

101
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,440
But it matters, people are watching or learning or listening to this, right?

102
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,440
I hope so.

103
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,440
Yeah.

104
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,440
I mean, we're not we're not we're not super.

105
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,280
We're not like I don't want to go off topic.

106
00:06:00,280 --> 00:06:05,600
But let's just say only a handful of people are listening to this so far.

107
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,600
We hope to keep growing.

108
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:07,600
But yes.

109
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:08,600
Yeah.

110
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,520
I'm interested in this.

111
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,960
I think you guys definitely got it.

112
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,220
You have the magic sauce, the two of you.

113
00:06:15,220 --> 00:06:19,680
So I think if it's not this project, it will be something else.

114
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,080
And then eventually at one point, a lot of people are going to watch this.

115
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,080
That's my prediction.

116
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,080
Or listen to this.

117
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,080
I'm sorry.

118
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:27,080
We ever listening to this.

119
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,080
We thank you so much.

120
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,080
You're supporting us so much.

121
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,080
No problem.

122
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,080
Pleasure.

123
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,080
Yeah.

124
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:39,480
So was this the dream job you imagined yourself doing when you were a little kid or just when

125
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,600
you were a kid in general, whatever.

126
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,200
But like, was this the dream job you imagined yourself doing?

127
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:55,560
When I was real little, I guess, like I had dream like my dream job was being a football

128
00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:02,640
player or a tennis player or I don't know, something like that.

129
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:03,640
Or a flight attendant.

130
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:04,880
I always thought that was so cool.

131
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:12,280
When I became a teenager and I started thinking about my career, it was definitely news reporter.

132
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:20,120
So that's kind of what I knew when I was in high school when I started gearing my studies

133
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,120
towards journalism.

134
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:29,640
So you were at the people that actually decided to go ahead and like pursue that.

135
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:35,560
Like I know a lot of people who just have like this like dream or imagine doing a job

136
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:43,600
they love or just want to do when they're older than doing like a more boring job that

137
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,640
like you just I don't know that you dislike because it makes more money.

138
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:54,800
But this like you actually pursued, you actually pursued it.

139
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,000
Which is really awesome in my opinion.

140
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,400
How you actually went ahead, took this thing when you were a teenager and actually went

141
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:03,400
out and did it.

142
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,400
Awesome.

143
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,600
So thank you for saying that.

144
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:13,920
It was it was it's not very glamorous but I'm glad I'm glad I made that decision.

145
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:20,520
I really could not imagine myself really doing anything else because it's I don't think I'd

146
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,400
be that great at anything else.

147
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:27,660
I would be okay but this is what I'm most passionate about telling people's stories

148
00:08:27,660 --> 00:08:31,400
and harassing public officials.

149
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:37,120
Congratulations for making that decision.

150
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,120
Thank you.

151
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,120
Woo.

152
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,120
Are we clapping?

153
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,120
I saw clapping I didn't hear it though.

154
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,720
Yeah we congratulate you.

155
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,720
Awesome.

156
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:45,720
Thank you.

157
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:46,720
Congratulations to you and this podcast.

158
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,720
Thanks.

159
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,200
And who were like your main idols when you were young?

160
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,560
Like who did you like inspire you to like?

161
00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:58,360
It doesn't have to be a newscaster but like who like made you like want to like pursue

162
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,640
different things.

163
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:08,600
Well there were a few newscasters that inspired me a couple local newscasters and Peter Jennings.

164
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,920
I don't know if you know who that is.

165
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:10,920
Oh yeah I do.

166
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,400
Oh you do okay.

167
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,400
He was awesome.

168
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:21,520
He started out being I think he started out being an anchor and then but then he went

169
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:27,120
out into the field and he was recording all over the world.

170
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:32,240
That like gave him that really seasoned him to be a news anchor later on that people really

171
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,720
trusted and I did.

172
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:39,440
I mean I would go play in traffic if Peter Jennings said I should have because he was

173
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:50,520
the man and so professionally I think I definitely was inspired by and admired him.

174
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:56,480
Other people well gosh Rando Cunningham I really he was the quarterback the Eagles in

175
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,480
the late 80s and early 90s and I loved him.

176
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:05,600
Look it up on YouTube he punted a ball 91 yards one time.

177
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:12,960
He's just an amazing athlete and he almost won the Super Bowl or almost got there had

178
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,840
like two or three good runs where he almost like went to the Super Bowl and won it.

179
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:24,120
But he was in Philly and I was a Philadelphia Eagles fan so that's one that comes to mind

180
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,120
that I really looked up to and I thought was awesome.

181
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:37,520
Sounds like I know a little bit of him but like because of course you're an anchor and

182
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,240
you're definitely gonna like know more about this stuff he just sounds like an awesome

183
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,880
guy and I can get why you looked up to him.

184
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:50,680
Like moving on why did you pick this job like what made you do this of course like the teenager

185
00:10:50,680 --> 00:10:55,960
thing you can imagine yourself doing any other thing but what was like what motivated you

186
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,320
to make that decision.

187
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:07,420
To be honest when I first first first got into it I was excited more superficially I

188
00:11:07,420 --> 00:11:15,440
just thought that it would be fun to be the guy on the screen saying the things and that

189
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:20,800
was kind of my intention getting into it and then after six months not even after a few

190
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:28,000
months of my first well my first internship taught me a lot but really after my first

191
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:34,280
few months of my first job after that I learned that it wasn't very glamorous and that we

192
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,240
were really working for people.

193
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,320
This is like what we do is constitutionally enshrined.

194
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:49,280
It's a big deal and they don't have this kind of thing in many other countries where you

195
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:57,960
can get accurate reliable information from other humans and so after a while I started

196
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:04,440
to look more deeply into it and actually and really started to remember have flashbacks

197
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:10,320
of my ethics courses in college and then that's what made me stay with it.

198
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:19,240
So I got into it because I wanted to be famous I stayed in it because I love people.

199
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,640
Well once again it's cool that you pursued that but like some of the more reasoning behind

200
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:31,080
it behind it like you just wanted to connect with the people is like that's it that's once

201
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:32,720
again an awesome thing.

202
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:38,680
Yeah so I think Maxwell is another question for you.

203
00:12:38,680 --> 00:12:39,680
Hit me.

204
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:48,920
What was the biggest highlight of your entire career?

205
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:55,120
I well I'm looking at a few awards that I won here on the wall one is an award from

206
00:12:55,120 --> 00:13:01,000
Associated Press which is well if the Associated Press says he did anything good then you should

207
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:06,840
believe them you should feel good about it and I got an AP award for our area locally

208
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:13,600
or I'm reading it it is best news series and that was when I was covering these asylum

209
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,580
seekers from Guatemala.

210
00:13:15,580 --> 00:13:20,440
This is amazing I hope we have time for it.

211
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:25,600
There's a city Kingston which is it's about 90 miles north of New York City it's pretty

212
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:36,000
small and starting in say 2017 2018 families started arriving in Kingston from this one

213
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:43,800
village in Guatemala and they were all like neighbors from the same village and they were

214
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:49,380
indigenous people they were Mayan and they were coming at like at a rate of about one

215
00:13:49,380 --> 00:13:54,280
or two families a week so right now we have a few hundred families in Kingston who are

216
00:13:54,280 --> 00:14:02,260
all from this same village in Guatemala which blows me away that they have that in Kingston

217
00:14:02,260 --> 00:14:09,000
and so I really reported about their culture and what they're like but I also reported

218
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:16,480
on their challenges they're seeking asylum many of them are walking around with leg bands

219
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:21,080
that they have to wear so the government knows where they are because they're legally present

220
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:27,120
they are in a way in custody of the federal government while they seek asylum and they're

221
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:33,640
seeking asylum because of persecution in their home country because they're indigenous so

222
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:42,380
I if we didn't do those stories nobody would have known really what who they were or know

223
00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:49,200
why the school population suddenly started to shoot up with more students so I think

224
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:58,500
we brought a lot to light there and we definitely dignified these families that were coming

225
00:14:58,500 --> 00:15:06,760
in and were not being paid a whole lot of attention to before but they are now that's

226
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:15,760
really cool thank you yeah I'm pretty proud of that and a lot of the other immigration

227
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:20,960
and housing stories that I've done immigration and housing that's uh that's kind of my wheelhouse

228
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:30,000
okay so um don't mind my little sister if you start screaming in the background but

229
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,120
um anyways what are what are the biggest challenges that you think can be solved by my generation

230
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:42,320
that you would want us to solve for you like I don't know we like of course climate change

231
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:53,400
but like what else um okay I got a couple oh one is misinformation oh yeah that's probably

232
00:15:53,400 --> 00:16:02,600
a really big thing being a newscaster misinformation especially what it's 2023 so the last 10 years

233
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:11,480
um I think the uh adults or people who are professionals could have done better or just

234
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,560
adults generally could have done better uh handling that spotting that preparing for

235
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:24,760
it and then for another thing we know that there we might now know what causes misinformation

236
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:30,180
like people maybe from other countries or other groups and so we know that it happens

237
00:16:30,180 --> 00:16:37,440
and we know what they did during previous elections or previous campaigns but we were

238
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:42,900
the people like Americans that would click on it and believe it and share it and so that's

239
00:16:42,900 --> 00:16:48,280
a big deal and so hopefully the next generation can move beyond that and just maybe be a little

240
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:54,400
more deliberate and a little more thoughtful I think that's a that will go a long way toward

241
00:16:54,400 --> 00:17:02,640
uh misinformation mess that we're in right now yeah I mean I can understand that thinking

242
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:10,080
like since like let's just say 2013 or so like 10 years ago like I just feel like well

243
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:17,120
I don't really it's not all just some I feel like more and more newscasters or anchors

244
00:17:17,120 --> 00:17:23,720
or just the news has gotten just I don't know just the media has had more misinformation

245
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:34,040
like yes like I saw one like in the last decade and um definitely um also that like newscasters

246
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:39,920
I'm not saying you do this don't get offended by this no of course not but oh my gosh I'm

247
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:45,640
gonna be so like some of them it's not you not you but some of them you're talking about

248
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:51,560
me no I'm kidding but some of them have done more with the media and then the media at

249
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:58,680
the same time is just a lot of the media in the past 10 years has been just going with

250
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:05,160
what like the big companies say so like it's only like probably a smaller percentage of

251
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:11,000
it but I can definitely get that that's like the only take I can have on it because I don't

252
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:17,160
know much about it but yeah that's pretty much it so yeah there's many like misinformation

253
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:24,920
um my other thing was batteries if you can solve that that would be great oh or really

254
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:31,640
anything that like powers another thing and makes things go that's a big challenge that I run into

255
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:39,560
all the time with having to recharge batteries or call my manager to get new batteries batteries

256
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:45,080
batteries so if you can solve that that would be awesome that was that's so annoying let's say

257
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:51,400
someone listening to this podcast wants to be a newscaster like following your footsteps what

258
00:18:51,400 --> 00:19:00,840
would you tell him or her I would tell them not to be afraid to go to a place like Wyoming

259
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:08,680
and just not to have reservations about where you go or what media outlet you work for starting out

260
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:16,600
because everything is is what you make of it that's how I've always looked at all my jobs

261
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:24,280
um that's why all my jobs have been pretty positive experiences so I guess that would be

262
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:30,440
my advice things are what you are a job this job especially is it's what you make of it you can

263
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:39,960
you can shape your own path in this business and um you can have influence like that

264
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:47,720
oh really oh I didn't like that one but I guess it was okay but it but either way if your speech

265
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:51,720
was good or not or it wasn't really speech but whatever you were saying if it was good or not

266
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,360
it doesn't matter as long as putting out a good message and I think that was so

267
00:19:56,360 --> 00:20:02,840
uh yeah congrats on that too I know you were nervous so thank you what is your main

268
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,440
what is your main life advice for kids listening to this podcast

269
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:14,120
life advice or just advice in general yeah general

270
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:24,200
to try and bring us back to kindness and so like whenever you get worked up or

271
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:29,000
you're about to do something out of character to just stop and breathe that's what I tell all my

272
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:39,880
friends and my family my wife my co-workers um myself if I get a little antsy to stop and

273
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:49,000
breathe I mean it's like deep in the nose out the mouth whistling it out stop and think

274
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:55,000
oh that's my best advice I mean that's good yeah that I feel like if people followed that advice

275
00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:00,760
I feel like there'd just be a lot less just a lot less I mean I don't know the first thing that came

276
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:06,040
to mind for me was crime it'd be a lot less crime people just thought yeah there's so much crime

277
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:13,480
yeah people are getting higher yeah well we'll cover things where somebody's saying in court

278
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:19,560
like I that I I wish I would have stopped and thought or I wish I would have just reconsidered

279
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:28,680
when they're being uh tried or sentenced for killing somebody yep or just even that not just

280
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:34,680
like not just throwing somebody like a bunch of crimes rappery like a lot of a lot of crimes

281
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:40,600
like I don't know what you're saying killing someone like I know that there's not everything

282
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:49,240
exposed in like those court cases like there's still stuff that went behind it but like you like

283
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:56,440
I forget what I was gonna say now dang it but like um it's pretty much just like if they just

284
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:03,080
would have thought like it more in the moment like they wouldn't have done it like I don't know oh

285
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:10,920
like I feel like a lot of like a lot of just let's just say murders for example yeah pressure like

286
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:16,440
because the person's under pressure and like a decision or something like a lot of them like

287
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:21,720
even if it's not like an immediate decision a lot of them just feel I feel like it's because of

288
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:29,160
pressure so people just instead of doing it I mean like that that sounds so bad but like just stop and

289
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:35,560
think in the moment before you do it yes that that's good that sounds really creepy coming from

290
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:42,280
me you're very very creepy no that's wise you're the wise old man wrap things up no that's thank
