WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.179 All right. Welcome back to the unpopular playground. 00:00:04.440 --> 00:00:08.539 We are here for our season three finale. It was 00:00:08.539 --> 00:00:11.900 a little rough this year. A lot of things happened, 00:00:11.900 --> 00:00:15.060 but we got a lot of exciting things coming up 00:00:15.060 --> 00:00:18.600 for season four that's going to start in June, 00:00:18.600 --> 00:00:21.899 as soon as June. And I'm going to let Ramon go 00:00:21.899 --> 00:00:24.239 into that because he's got some great ideas with 00:00:24.239 --> 00:00:27.320 how we're going to start rolling. Yeah, guys. 00:00:27.530 --> 00:00:30.050 First off, whenever you take it on the project, 00:00:30.829 --> 00:00:32.570 sometimes things don't go as planned. That's 00:00:32.570 --> 00:00:34.609 what I was just talking about. But you just got 00:00:34.609 --> 00:00:37.369 to kind of roll with it, allow things to happen 00:00:37.369 --> 00:00:41.109 for you. Just be like water and just roll with 00:00:41.109 --> 00:00:43.250 the way things are going. And sometimes you have 00:00:43.250 --> 00:00:45.710 to pivot. So that's what we did. And right now, 00:00:45.950 --> 00:00:47.750 what I focus on is just putting more content 00:00:47.750 --> 00:00:51.770 out and putting out content that we don't see 00:00:51.770 --> 00:00:54.070 a lot of people talking about. I want to bring 00:00:54.070 --> 00:00:56.750 a different perspective. that's gonna help people, 00:00:56.890 --> 00:00:59.250 that's gonna free people, that's gonna help kids, 00:00:59.429 --> 00:01:01.509 especially young adults, high schoolers, people 00:01:01.509 --> 00:01:05.510 in college. Just realize the opportunity in front 00:01:05.510 --> 00:01:08.189 of them, realize how powerful they are, realize 00:01:08.189 --> 00:01:11.769 how much time they have in life to figure things 00:01:11.769 --> 00:01:16.010 out. And just what a different world it is now 00:01:16.010 --> 00:01:20.450 based on when me and Debbie were coming up. And 00:01:20.450 --> 00:01:22.489 I feel like sometimes because there's so many 00:01:22.489 --> 00:01:25.750 choices, so much opportunity, young people, especially 00:01:25.750 --> 00:01:28.750 that kind of high school, college age, can get 00:01:28.750 --> 00:01:31.950 overwhelmed. They can get bombarded with so much 00:01:31.950 --> 00:01:35.010 stuff. And sometimes you gotta step back and 00:01:35.010 --> 00:01:37.890 just breathe and look at things from a different 00:01:37.890 --> 00:01:39.689 perspective. And that's what we want to bring 00:01:39.689 --> 00:01:43.930 so we can help that generation out, navigate 00:01:43.930 --> 00:01:45.849 life that they're up against, because it's a 00:01:45.849 --> 00:01:47.489 different world than, like I said, than what 00:01:47.489 --> 00:01:49.629 we're coming up. And it's gonna keep changing, 00:01:49.989 --> 00:01:53.500 too. They think things are always changing. but 00:01:53.500 --> 00:01:55.859 if you have the right mindset and you just know 00:01:55.859 --> 00:01:58.840 who you are and like know what you want out of 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:03.239 life and aren't afraid to mess up or fail or 00:02:03.239 --> 00:02:05.239 that that's what keeps people i think blocked 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:07.379 is that fear of oh what if i don't get it right 00:02:07.379 --> 00:02:09.319 what if i mess up what if i fail we fail every 00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:12.319 day just by doing that put this block test on 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.580 the technology yeah i mean what when you guys 00:02:16.580 --> 00:02:18.340 get a chance because i don't think people watch 00:02:18.340 --> 00:02:20.780 a lot of live tv now but just watch any live 00:02:20.780 --> 00:02:23.340 show You know, there's all kind of mess ups, 00:02:23.379 --> 00:02:26.280 even just on live TV. So people mess up all the 00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.599 time, but we just want to bring some facts, bring 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.860 some inspiration, bring some skills, like real 00:02:32.860 --> 00:02:36.680 skills to the people. You know, we can help them 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:40.479 ascend and navigate and find some success through 00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.439 their graduating high school. Either if they 00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:44.639 want to go to college, they'll want to go to 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.039 college, or if they graduated and find that, 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:48.840 oh, I have a degree, I can't find a job. Now 00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:54.560 what? So what do we want to do? Yeah, so what 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:58.539 I know What is it when I was trying to delete 00:02:58.539 --> 00:03:02.919 just the Facebook page to get an unpopular playground 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.860 Facebook page? That the way that you delete pages 00:03:07.860 --> 00:03:12.099 they keep all the platforms even stream yard 00:03:12.099 --> 00:03:15.280 They keep changing their platforms from year 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:17.479 to year and you just have to keep experimenting 00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:21.310 on where to find stuff to be able to even function 00:03:21.310 --> 00:03:25.030 and operate everything it just keeps updating 00:03:25.030 --> 00:03:27.669 and you have to keep up otherwise you're going 00:03:27.669 --> 00:03:30.689 to be left behind you don't be left behind and 00:03:30.689 --> 00:03:32.490 that i'm glad you brought that up jim because 00:03:32.490 --> 00:03:36.610 a couple things but one people sometimes get 00:03:36.610 --> 00:03:40.349 triggered by technology even okay so i like technology 00:03:40.349 --> 00:03:42.729 even i get frustrated with it but there's some 00:03:42.729 --> 00:03:45.229 people just hate it right it's here if i get 00:03:45.229 --> 00:03:49.030 more advanced more those who it's not going away 00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:52.400 there's a debate on AI replace us no it won't 00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.259 replace you but it will replace those who don't 00:03:55.259 --> 00:03:57.219 know how to use it or don't want to use it just 00:03:57.219 --> 00:03:59.680 like the internet can you imagine someone saying 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.400 that about anything online like now oh i don't 00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:03.860 like the internet i don't want to mess with that 00:04:03.860 --> 00:04:06.979 we talked about 30 40 years ago that might have 00:04:06.979 --> 00:04:09.039 been the vibe i'm not sure about it i don't know 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.419 but now it's okay what do you even talk about 00:04:11.419 --> 00:04:14.740 so that's how i think it is and will be with 00:04:14.740 --> 00:04:18.120 AI and everything else that's not right now okay 00:04:18.120 --> 00:04:21.339 so It really doesn't matter whether you're a 00:04:21.339 --> 00:04:24.019 high schooler in your 40s, 50s, 60s or, or if 00:04:24.019 --> 00:04:26.399 you're like my little son, he's eight, nine years 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.759 old and he's coming up. Obviously it's going 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.040 to be there waiting for him. It's going to be 00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.160 a lot more advanced by the time he's even half 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.420 my age. Hey, it doesn't matter, right? We're 00:04:35.420 --> 00:04:38.300 going to bring that into the fold. Something 00:04:38.300 --> 00:04:41.660 specific too that I mentioned earlier was that 00:04:41.660 --> 00:04:45.199 for those graduating from high school or college 00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:47.779 and then like, what do I do? Like, I really want 00:04:47.779 --> 00:04:51.139 to help people with that because while we're 00:04:51.139 --> 00:04:53.800 all trying to have our projects on this big project, 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:57.220 and we want to be able to leave our nine to five 00:04:57.220 --> 00:05:00.620 jobs one day, jobs are needed. What I'm trying 00:05:00.620 --> 00:05:02.800 to say is jobs aren't bad. When I never want 00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.720 to come across, I think jobs are bad. I one day 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:08.500 want to do something else, want to break free 00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:11.279 from my job, but every job I've had prepared 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.060 me for the next step. And it's prepared me for 00:05:14.060 --> 00:05:16.550 this next step I'm on. and in my entrepreneurial 00:05:16.550 --> 00:05:19.250 journey that will allow me to lead my job one 00:05:19.250 --> 00:05:21.709 day. So I want the young kids to know, because 00:05:21.709 --> 00:05:23.470 I think there's pressure about, oh, I don't need 00:05:23.470 --> 00:05:25.709 to work. I can just be like an influencer or 00:05:25.709 --> 00:05:28.810 I can be a streamer or whatever. And some people, 00:05:29.029 --> 00:05:30.730 they're going to be able to do that. I think 00:05:30.730 --> 00:05:32.689 if you know that's what you want to do, then 00:05:32.689 --> 00:05:35.430 they're already doing that. But for those who 00:05:35.430 --> 00:05:38.310 maybe don't see themselves doing that and just 00:05:38.310 --> 00:05:41.149 or just want to do something specific, I want 00:05:41.149 --> 00:05:42.529 to help people do that, because I think there 00:05:42.529 --> 00:05:45.500 is a lot of Misconceptions about where I go. 00:05:45.540 --> 00:05:47.800 What do I work? Like how could I get that job? 00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:52.100 It's it's a lot easier than Then people may think 00:05:52.100 --> 00:05:54.279 and I want to help cuz they're great jobs right 00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.939 now that any high school or like Somebody from 00:05:56.939 --> 00:05:59.740 college graduating didn't get they just don't 00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:03.139 know like they have no idea There's so many opportunity 00:06:03.139 --> 00:06:07.339 for them. They have no idea how to even Start 00:06:07.339 --> 00:06:09.879 to even think that they can have good high paying 00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.600 job doing what they like or even love, or even 00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:15.740 if they don't love it, okay, hey, you know what? 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:17.639 It's something you can do for the next few years 00:06:17.639 --> 00:06:19.439 to get your feet wet, get some experience, get 00:06:19.439 --> 00:06:24.680 something else. Right? I agree. Yeah. They don't 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:28.079 have career days anymore at school, where parents 00:06:28.079 --> 00:06:30.459 used to come in and, oh, my mom does this and 00:06:30.459 --> 00:06:32.459 talk about her career, or your dad comes in and 00:06:32.459 --> 00:06:34.819 he talks about his career, or even things in 00:06:34.819 --> 00:06:36.720 school where you get learning how to do a skill. 00:06:36.980 --> 00:06:39.699 They don't have that anymore. So the kids... 00:06:39.720 --> 00:06:43.060 only see what they know, which is very limited. 00:06:43.500 --> 00:06:46.720 And that's the problem. They need to be introduced 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:50.079 to more opportunities. And that's what we want 00:06:50.079 --> 00:06:53.399 to do is give them that chance to see there's 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:58.000 a lot out there for you to tap into other than 00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.439 video games and things like that. And college 00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:04.540 is not the answer for everybody. And actually 00:07:04.540 --> 00:07:07.459 people and traits. Make a lot more money than 00:07:07.459 --> 00:07:09.579 some people that went through college. Everybody's 00:07:09.579 --> 00:07:12.439 going to need a haircut. Everybody's going to 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:15.480 need their, if something goes wrong with your 00:07:15.480 --> 00:07:19.199 toilet. Right. What about electrician? They're 00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:24.980 going to need your, their electric. Yeah. Yeah. 00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:28.800 Other option. You need, it's getting the point 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.339 of course that life's all about change. Nothing 00:07:31.339 --> 00:07:35.139 ever stays the same. And now here's what you 00:07:35.139 --> 00:07:40.120 got. What I would add to that is the skill building 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:44.660 and knowledge of the things that are not being 00:07:44.660 --> 00:07:48.399 taught in school that should be focused on a 00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:51.860 little bit more. I would say research, knowing 00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:55.639 how to research and fact check. The arts have 00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.939 been taking out of school, just being creative. 00:08:03.339 --> 00:08:06.699 But one solution for everybody, and I think that's 00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:11.819 what we want to present, is more options for 00:08:11.819 --> 00:08:14.459 people. Not everybody's meant to be an imp, like 00:08:14.459 --> 00:08:17.339 you were saying, Romana, an influencer, or to 00:08:17.339 --> 00:08:20.779 go to college. And depending on who's talking 00:08:20.779 --> 00:08:24.100 makes it seem like that's the only answer. That's 00:08:24.100 --> 00:08:26.720 what I just said, never show them the options. 00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:29.680 Yeah. Yeah, definitely. I like what Debbie said 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:33.139 too, is that... Everyone is meant to go to college 00:08:33.139 --> 00:08:37.399 No, I think kids Who know they want to do with 00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.419 something specific that they pretty much need 00:08:39.419 --> 00:08:42.059 college for like engineering, right? They're 00:08:42.059 --> 00:08:44.679 there within other kids. Maybe they go there 00:08:44.679 --> 00:08:46.340 because they feel obligated or they want to have 00:08:46.340 --> 00:08:49.879 fun I can't knock it any way Because you want 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:51.860 to go have maybe that's the experience that you 00:08:51.860 --> 00:08:53.419 need to have that's going to show you something 00:08:53.419 --> 00:08:56.320 else that's gonna elevate you know I'm saying 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.399 so it cool you the way but I just don't like 00:08:59.399 --> 00:09:02.240 when people feel crushed or just lost and they 00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:04.279 have no one there to help them or guide them 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:06.620 or just give them any help. If I didn't have 00:09:06.620 --> 00:09:09.600 people coming up that showed me a different way, 00:09:09.980 --> 00:09:12.299 gave me a different perspective, helped me look 00:09:12.299 --> 00:09:14.879 at things from a different angle, then I'd still 00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.480 be trying to figure certain things out. We're 00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:19.299 just trying to pay it forward, really help these, 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:22.879 especially this specific age range with just 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.480 some different perspective and guidance. Yeah. 00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:29.539 We have the benefits. of having all of that growing 00:09:29.539 --> 00:09:33.600 up. And now we see what's missing in their life. 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.679 So we need to give some of that back, pay it 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:39.419 forward and help these kids so that they don't 00:09:39.419 --> 00:09:43.220 walk around feeling lost. So we're going to have 00:09:43.220 --> 00:09:46.159 to wrap it up, but the reason why we need to 00:09:46.159 --> 00:09:50.460 do the research and explore other options is 00:09:50.460 --> 00:09:54.299 because there's predators out there that prey 00:09:54.299 --> 00:09:58.080 on young people with those get rich quick that 00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:01.259 you got the some of the multi -level marketing 00:10:01.259 --> 00:10:04.019 and all of these things that, oh, you're going 00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:06.740 to get rich and you need to be able to do your 00:10:06.740 --> 00:10:10.600 research so that you can really decide if that 00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:14.100 opportunity is real. They have a lot of scam 00:10:14.100 --> 00:10:17.480 jobs on indeed that they're not really jobs. 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:22.100 They're scams. And we'll get more into that too. 00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:26.340 And we plan to go live a lot more to where you 00:10:26.340 --> 00:10:31.840 can engage with us. So that's about it. And we 00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:34.820 hope that you tune in for more content.
