1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,760 Hey, what's going on? My name is Anthony Davis. Welcome to serve it podcast. This is episode 2 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:17,480 number one and I'm excited. Don't know what to expect from this, but this is going to 3 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:26,440 be a learning lesson as well as we wanted to help others by having an audio platform 4 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:34,760 to push our information such as the gospel things that I'm learning on the IT side, the 5 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:39,600 video production side and just life in general. So with that being said, I just want to start 6 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:47,440 off with a Bible verse. This is from James one verse six. Do not waiver for a person 7 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:53,720 with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by 8 00:00:53,720 --> 00:01:03,280 the wind. So this is from James one verse six. The new living translation. I'm pretty 9 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:09,720 sure that's what NLT stand for. But with that being said, there's a situation I'm going 10 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:17,360 through and I prayed about it was like, Yeah, I'm going to stand on business. But as time 11 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:27,200 passes, it has not been easy to just stand on business. And what when I read this verse, 12 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:35,600 it just reminded me to. Yeah, I have to make tough decisions, but trust that process, 13 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:42,680 trust why you have to make that decision. And also don't lean on your own understanding 14 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:52,840 of why you had to make that decision. This is truly understanding that your wisdom is 15 00:01:52,840 --> 00:02:04,440 not enough to fully comprehend this and use everything your power to trust in God and 16 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:11,160 just lean on God to create that discernment and and understanding because you won't be 17 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:20,120 able to understand. That decision on your own. And this is something I'm learning. So 18 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,360 just to open up with that because a lot of us, especially men have to make a decision 19 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:32,920 and just stand on it and be okay with whether it's wrong or right. You know, at that point, 20 00:02:32,920 --> 00:02:40,200 it's not up to you. You know, just being true to yourself and being true to your spirit. 21 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:48,960 That's where. You know, that process to to really develop in and be okay with the decision 22 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:55,040 that you make. But with that being said, 23 00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:05,240 on far as the IT side this week, I had to fix a laptop. Now this laptop was for a studio 24 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:10,040 that work with call breakthrough sounds here in Cleveland, Ohio. That's where I'm out of 25 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:19,360 but the laptop, it wouldn't power on and I tried everything to to get it to just power 26 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:29,160 without using the external battery. But nothing was working for it. So I went ahead and went 27 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,560 to this shop called Micro Center here in Cleveland. They have plenty of stores around. But this 28 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:43,720 one specifically I went to but the thing is I forgot it was black Friday. And I'm in here 29 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:50,040 like, or I'm about to walk in there like why are there so many people in line? And it hit 30 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:59,200 me immediately. Just this gives you a timeframe of when I went. This is 2024. And I went during 31 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:06,640 black Friday. So I figured while I'm there, why not go ahead and get me a few other things 32 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:12,280 to because I went there for internal battery for the laptop because I realized that that's 33 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:23,840 the issue. I went ahead and also got me a audio box for because I make music, I make 34 00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:30,160 beats and I want them to start playing on speakers. So I needed audio interface. So 35 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:38,720 I went ahead and got me auto audio interface and we turn this audio interface as well as 36 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:51,320 there's one more thing. Oh yeah. What do you call that a I just got an electric tool because 37 00:04:51,320 --> 00:05:00,920 I get tired of I don't get tired of it, but it becomes a bit time consuming when I just 38 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:09,080 use my regular tools to open the inside of or to get inside of a laptop or whatever. But 39 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,600 this time I was like, you know what, let me go ahead and get electric one that's 19 bucks 40 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:21,280 and it'll save me some time. When I tell you when I use that, it was so easy and so convenient 41 00:05:21,280 --> 00:05:30,720 and what I like about it is that it don't over torque. But yeah, so get that tip of 42 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:41,160 the day if if you are constantly if you if your laptop cannot run on its own internal 43 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:47,160 battery, then more than likely you need to go ahead and change it out for a different 44 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:53,480 internal battery. And if you have, I mean, you can use Amazon for sure. But if you have 45 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:59,760 a local store like Micro Center, more than likely they will have that internal battery 46 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:09,520 just look up the battery by the part number and they'll locate it. But other than that, 47 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:16,960 yeah, there's so many things I want to talk about. I'm just excited to begin this journey 48 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:27,040 because I feel like there's a lot of benefits from the information I'm going to share. Also, 49 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:34,520 I want to do this to start practicing speaking and making sure that I'm speaking clearly. 50 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:40,840 I'm in a position. I'm a project manager here at a regional airport. And I want to be able 51 00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:50,320 to lead but then also speak. And when I'm speaking, I want to be able to influence others. So 52 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:59,040 this is a way for me to practice and really hear what I sound like. But also find ways 53 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:07,000 to help motivate and persuade or not even persuade but influence others, other men, 54 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,840 other women. Yeah, that's it. So with that being said, thank you for listening to episode 55 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:21,040 number one. I can't believe I've been talking for this long. It's crazy.
