Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Speaker 3:
beneficial, want on top everything you need, just got on your keys.
Speaker 2:
Nobody could take this. Built it from ground up and nobody could break this. I'm making real moves. When I see it, I want it, I get it. Let's build an empire, baby. I know that you with it, can't nobody stop this. They can only watch this. It's time to talk life balance, love and marriage all the trend topics. No off days come up the hard way. Never no shortcuts. I took the long way. Gotta leave treasure for my kids, kids pleasure. Every loss been a lesson and an unexpected blessing. What's?
Speaker 3:
up you guys. Welcome back to the on your keys podcast. I'm your host, mink, and y'all already know we got my co-host right here jay goday, aka mr on your keys y'all.
Speaker 1:
What Mr On your Keys y'all was good.
Speaker 3:
What's up. We're back. We look a little bit different, little bit, just a little bit. We feel a little bit different. I'm fixing your dress, thank you. Yeah, make it strong together. No, but seriously, we do look a little bit different, we feel different. Things have changed. You know, um, I think, in some of the greatest ways you know and you know, um it's just going to college. Yes, that is, yes, that has been super, super, super wild, um, but yeah, it's been. This has definitely been a journey, um, you know, just with having a, I guess rearing I guess that's the right word you could say rearing you know um, a child in college.
Speaker 3:
It's been good and I feel like yeah, going to college, I feel like it's been good, but then it's also like now in a bittersweet. We're in a bittersweet, I can't talk. We're in a bittersweet state and I think that you know, um, some of the things that we have been still in her, like breaking off, going into different places, you know, experiencing life, um, I think that that's one of the things that we have been able to now really really start to see, like gosh us telling her that you know your zip code really does matter you know, and your zip code can determine so many things for you.
Speaker 3:
You know where you grow up, your quality of life, you know even your socioeconomic status. You know even perception.
Speaker 2:
Yes, perception your access to resources.
Speaker 3:
You know a lot of those things and you know she has adapted that now like, yeah, my zip code does matter, like I can always come back right, but then I can always branch off, see what else is out there. You know um develop differently. You know um access some things that I may have not had access to, you know, and then bring those resources back to my hometown.
Speaker 1:
If that's what I decide to do, yeah, it's crazy because, you know, I think COVID taught us that we can literally be limitless. I was having a conversation with a colleague the other day and he was talking about education. He was talking about that. You know, we need to encourage parents to seek education abroad. Don't just work, don't just focus on, like, if your child is going to a certain school and they're not being taught the way that you know, to your standard, you know, look at virtual school, right, look at if you can get a teacher, that's exceptional. But they teach them virtually and they're in, you know, new york and you're in louisiana. You know, don't, don't, don't rule that option out yeah, and why.
Speaker 3:
I would would like elaborate on that a little bit.
Speaker 1:
Well, because right now, right now we're in the we're in a time to where it doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't matter where you are to be able to achieve certain things. Yeah, even with a job, even with, you know, career opportunities, business, business opportunities. Covid has shown us that you can literally be anywhere in the world and still achieve what you want to achieve, and that goes down to even to education as well.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, that's very true, and I think that when we look at different things in terms of where we are, and then, as we're progressing through life, I definitely think that it's a really good thing to start looking at where do you want to be and looking at your current surroundings and actually saying, okay, where can I be, where I'm closer to or I'm more in a um, I'm in proximity of of what I want to see and where I want to be at in life. You know, and I think that that's important because, again, we get into, you know, we get into um, sometimes these states to where we we so comfortable yeah you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:
we so comfortable.
Speaker 3:
That brings content, yeah you know, and it's like now we're sitting here, we 30 years old, we're 35 years old and we're feeling that pressure of not being where we want to be, but then we're so comfortable that the comfort is is really what's keeping us from being where we could be, because we're comfortable and we don't want to push ourselves out of that. You know, we don't want to push ourselves to uncomfortable limits.
Speaker 3:
You know, but, really and truly, when you think about pushing yourself, you know that's really how you're going to get to those places, and this is something that we've been thinking about a lot lately too, as we are, you know, uh, progressing through life. You know some things that we're changing. Some things that we've changed, we're like okay, it's some things we need to do. We need to do different, and we may need to to have access to different things you know, networking, meet new people. You're gonna be especially in your, in your local city.
Speaker 3:
You know your local, your business owner, just you know whatever that you know looks like for you networking is going to show you what you have access to.
Speaker 1:
I think I think as humans we just don't do enough research, so like you think so?
Speaker 1:
yeah, I do. I think we make decisions a lot of premature decisions based upon how we feel and what we want to think. So, just thinking about like moving right, if we actually research, you know what place is gonna be number one in education, number one in opportunity, number one in infrastructure, number one in travel or tourism, whatever those things that's important to us. We will probably make different decisions on where we want to be but again, being you know, I mean that was the thing.
Speaker 3:
I think that we we did not want to push. My daughter was so fragile at that time.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, yeah, I think we just didn't want to like. I think we were more concerned about making a. I think we just didn't want to like um, I think we were. I think we're more concerned about making the wrong decision, so we just stayed with what was, what was comfortable.
Speaker 3:
Um, and that's true. So, so being so, I think, when the options too, cause you know we were talking about just being comfortable, but sometimes you know like you said we just didn didn't want to make the wrong decision, so that would kind of be connected to fear yeah, but I'll go back to even saying that time no research was done.
Speaker 3:
I wasn't, I wasn't on online looking at you know well, that's not true, though I was researching because, remember, I registered the businesses in texas, we had already got insurance in texas and we had started going to networking events we did.
Speaker 1:
We did those things. But when I say, when I say say, research, I mean the key things that apply to the well-being of the person, the key things that apply to the quality of life. What kind of healthcare do they have in this place? Okay, what is the job market like? What is the business market really like? What is the real opportunity there?
Speaker 1:
Okay, go ahead how is your business going to be able to grow over a certain length of time, if you're planning some to move to this place? The infrastructure, what? What kind of roads they got? What kind of cars do you have?
Speaker 2:
because depending on what kind of cars you got. You got luxury cars.
Speaker 1:
Are you going somewhere? They got got messed up roads especially right, exactly, then you gotta you gotta determine what day. You know what's gonna be like, what's gonna be the return on my investment movement to this place.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, I'm gonna tear up a hundred and fifty thousand dollar car right. Because I want to go and move to this specific area, because it look good on Instagram, yeah, but I feel like this. So I'll say this if you are, for instance, I give you a content creator. Right. If you are a content creator, I would say, and you are going to move to a place to where content creators thrive and you've already been consistent in your content creation, then I would say go ahead on, do that.
Speaker 3:
But if you, if you're a person like for me, you know, just you know sometimes I'm going, sometimes I'm saying, and you are going to make the decision, and it was feasible for your life and your business, because being a content creator is a full-time business and you're making a substantial amount of income. Then and you were thinking about moving I would say move but where? Wherever I'm saying wherever they were thinking about moving.
Speaker 1:
So you're saying like as a content creator, they can move anywhere no, that's not what I said, so you weren't listening.
Speaker 3:
I literally said if you are a content creator and you are already content creator, you are moving to a place where content creators strive. That's what I said, and we can press rewind.
Speaker 2:
I said that y'all tell them.
Speaker 3:
I said yes, I said that. I said, then I would see, you know, yeah, if you were moved somewhere where content creators strive. That's why I said that okay, yeah. So then I said yeah, that would be a good decision, but if you the type of person that sometimes you're creating content, then you don't want to create content, but you think that you're going to move in this place, then that may not be that may not be a good investment? No because seriously think about this, y'all know this.
Speaker 2:
Sometimes you know, and I know we probably all know someone personal.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, that can't. That. That says, oh, when I'm about to go move I'm about to go move to Atlanta, I'm about to go move to New York, I'm about to go move to Florida but you can't move somewhere else with the same you with the same you the same you that you was at your what we call your base, you taking that same you to the other place yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1:
So yeah, if you didn't start changing the habits of yourself, your financial habits, you know your, your your networking habits, your your business habits. If you didn't, if you didn't change that before you left home, where you got maybe some support the family, friends, you know people who know you it's not going to just up and change when you go to a different zip code. It's not.
Speaker 3:
It's not going to be like voila yeah you know, even though your zip code matters, even though it does because the opportunity in atlanta is going to be totally different than the opportunity in louisiana but are you going to be able to to really benefit off of the opportunity? If your mindset is the same, if your habits is the same, if you lack consistency, if you lack accountability you know, those are the things that really and truly.
Speaker 3:
When you think about that, when you say, you know what I want to make a change where I'm at right now? They don't have the resources, they don't have the wherewithal, they don't have all of those things that I really need to thrive. Sometimes it really does take you coming back and saying, well, am I really thriving personally? You know, I'm saying, am I doing all the things personally? So, really push myself in a place where I can really thrive and and, for instance, that's something that I had to really tell myself it's like I'm like nah, like for me it's going to take me showing up in a way.
Speaker 2:
I've never shown up before.
Speaker 3:
It's going to take me doing the things I've never done before. It's going to take me being so uncomfortable so that I can be comfortable because if I make the decisions now, that most people aren't going to make then I don't be able to live a life that most people aren't gonna be able to live and you can get comfortable living a fairly good life.
Speaker 3:
I, I truly feel like we have a good life, you know, we really, really do. But the things that I want to be able to do on an every single day basis, when, if I want to make a decision and I just want to go to hawaii, boom, I honestly want to have that opportunity, like if I, if we want to go to Hawaii, boom, I honestly want to have that opportunity. Yeah, like if we want to go to, if we say, you know what, babe, let's go to Paris, well, I want to be able to say, okay, we have this money that's set aside for that. You know, like I really want to be able to do Like in a drop of a hat, in a drop of a hat.
Speaker 2:
I we don't.
Speaker 1:
All of our kids are over, you know 16, 17, yeah, over 16 years of age. So really and truly we only have one, that's still in the house, right?
Speaker 3:
well, you know, and I and I, technically he's technically not in our house, but what I'm saying is that we still take care of you know, in that way and so, with that being said, I truly, truly feel like, for me, when it comes to that, that's what. Those are some of the things when people say the experience that they want to create my life now, I want it to be a full-on experience, you know, and I think that it's okay for us to feel like that and and you know, that's how I feel.
Speaker 3:
What would you say?
Speaker 1:
no, that's, that's the.
Speaker 3:
That's the definition I feel like I was talking a lot, so that's why you was, but it's good though.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, that's the definition of a free life a free life is for you to be able to work if you want to, not because you have to yeah, your your finance, your financial foundation is allowing you to live your life in the way that you want to live it. Yeah, whatever that looks like.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, if you won't be a Walmart greeter be a Walmart, greeter, andeter, and it doesn't matter how much you get paid.
Speaker 1:
Because there's people out there that their gift in life is to make people smile. It's for people to approach them and for them to make somebody smile and have a better day. That's their gift. What better to do that than to greet at Walmart, right.
Speaker 3:
Now the one that's dead because they don't have enough social security.
Speaker 1:
They can't retire they can't't pay their bills.
Speaker 3:
That's the only job they can.
Speaker 2:
That's the only job they can get, they're not gonna.
Speaker 1:
They're not gonna be living to their highest potential they.
Speaker 3:
They don't even want to do that. They don't even like you, they don't want to see you.
Speaker 1:
They don't even look at your receipt. Yeah, they're not trying to verify. You can stole stuff out of people, yeah you're right.
Speaker 3:
So it's a totally different experience. It's a totally different experience and it's going to change the it's going to change the way that you approach your, your lifestyle.
Speaker 1:
It's going to change the way that you approach your finances. It's going to change the way that you approach how you look for a career choice. My, my youth, you know those going into into college. It's going to. It changes the way that you decide how do I? What do I want to major in college?
Speaker 3:
yeah, how do I want to spend the rest of my rest of my life earning money and even thinking about that, I think that's a good thing for me to interject and say too when you're thinking about college, right, when you're thinking about what university you want to go to, what trade school you want to go to, what, what, um, what was that? What was I gonna say? What, uh skill you want to actually take up and learn? You? Know your zip code does matter for that too, and you know why?
Speaker 3:
because some schools are going to have much more of a rigorous program and a program that's that can set you up to succeed than some other schools. You know, like I know here, I know Southern University has a great law program you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 1:
they have a great engineering program. I'm glad you said that, because that is, that's exactly right. Your zip code when you decide to go to school they're gonna, those schools are gonna coincide with the, with the, with the opportunity of that of, of that of that city, of the area.
Speaker 3:
So, like you made a point about Louisiana.
Speaker 1:
Louisiana breeds attorneys, yeah, engineers, but if you go back to our, our laws, our Napoleonic code, we're one of the highest states that actually um, for, for philosophy, you know. So we breed attorney, we got some of the best attorneys in the in the in the country here in louisiana yeah, and also with engineering too, because, because, the industrial trade here, so all the refineries, so so those, so those things, when you go to those universities they're going to be tapped in with the industry that is big in those environments Speaker.
Speaker 3:
1. Wow, and I've never really thought about that, I didn't think about it in that way, but it makes a lot of sense. It makes a lot of sense and so, as again, wherever you are currently in life. You know, I always preface this, and the reason why y'all preface this is just because of the simple fact of the matter. You know, social media is such a big part of our life. You know, external validation is such a big part of um, I don't want to say everyone's life personally, but at some point people have experienced some type of external ramifications or external feelings from other people. Even if that was external validation, it can even come from your parents, so it can come from just your own household, your own environment, things like that.
Speaker 3:
But one of the things that I think is really really key for us to hone in on is wherever you currently are, wherever you want to be, whether if that's in three years, whether if that's in five years, whether if that is in seven years, your zip code matters, and your zip code matters for so many reasons, even about you, even when, when, even when it comes to how you think, even when it comes to how you feel about things on the opinions that you actually let infiltrate how you feel. You know what I'm saying, like the quality of things that you are actually indulging in. All of those things matter so much and sometimes it does take out of her. So Jay and I have traveled a lot throughout the years and we've heard so. So so many people talk about where they live and how it has contributed to their success.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, and understand y'all that. You know where you grew up, you know where you're from, where you're comfortable use that as your base.
Speaker 1:
But understand too that you are limitless. You can develop opportunity anywhere in this world. And I always go back to COVID. If COVID wasn't a wake-up call for those to see that, man, you could really do anything that you want to do and it don't matter where you are. The virtual landscape has become so big and has shown us that, nah, you don't have to be face-to-face with people, you could do business on the other side of the world and still be just more successful. So I stacked that like, hey, you could have a base where you, from where you have your, where you have your, your comfort, your core resources, that's going, that's gonna always be your base. But use your base to branch out to other places and see what, what else they have to offer some places that's really doing doing big things right now Rale, north carolina. Sharp the carolinas, right now just like killing it.
Speaker 1:
Charlotte, north carolina, um austin texas yeah, but they're super expensive huntsville or alabama, yeah, you know, just just to name a few. But I'm gonna drop. I'm gonna drop the statistics of what these, these cities are really doing and what they really look like in the show notes. But when you're thinking about, you know whether you're, whether you're looking to relocate, you know, or you are a high school student trying to pick a college, do your research like really see like what these places have to offer you and know what kind of quality of life do you want?
Speaker 1:
are they, do they have, are they a walkable community? If you know that you don't, have walkable communities yeah, do they have walkable communities if?
Speaker 3:
you know you don't want to be driving, all If you know that you don't?
Speaker 1:
They have walkable communities. Yeah, do they have walkable communities?
Speaker 3:
If you know, you don't want to be driving all over the place and you don't want, yes, 30 minutes to get from here to there.
Speaker 1:
If you know that's what you want, do not move to Houston. Yeah, no, not to Houston. Houston is awesome, it sure is, but just saying.
Speaker 3:
Shout out to Soraya, my girl. Every, every city has their thing.
Speaker 1:
You know what I'm saying, but you gotta know what it is that you want for your life and you got to do the research. You gotta know like what they have to offer you so you can make the best decision possible.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, and I think that's really good that you say that, and I definitely think that it just comes back to Also just doing a personal work. You know, even when you're thinking about I've heard a lot of people now I want to talk. They talk about moving, even for relationships, and I actually think that's a great thing, you know. I'm saying because sometimes you know you once you talked about this plenty of times we with you know where you're from, you know and just how you would have never wanted to really have a long marriage with someone, where you were from. And you know.
Speaker 3:
What's funny is because when I thought about getting into another relationship after you know my previous relationship, that was one of the things.
Speaker 3:
It wasn't necessarily about the zip code, because y'all know we were super young when Jay and I got together.
Speaker 3:
Um, it wasn't about the zip code, it was about the mindset, because I think that sometimes your environment I think y'all know your environment does matter so much with your mindset, with the way that you're able to think, even if you're able to think progressively your environment meaning I'm not just talking about your environment that you live in, talking about like a city your environment that you live in, your family, your cousins, your mom, your aunts, your uncles, how they talk, the things that they're talking about.
Speaker 3:
That is going to that is going to be a leaf yes their belief systems. That was so good, thank you. That's gonna be a direct reflection of how you think your mind said, your mentality, all of that. And so, saying all that to say, I know, when we got together, when before we got together, but more but moreover, when we did get together, that was one of the things that I think I knew what I wanted in terms of that but I didn't know how to articulate that thing was that I wanted to be with a man that didn't just have a country man mentality, a Baton Rouge mentality, like I literally wanted to be with someone that's not boxed in yeah, someone that had an open mind.
Speaker 1:
This is what. That's what.
Speaker 3:
I say I always say open mind when I talk to people in relationships, because you guys know um what we do and things like that. So I always am talking to married couples when I'm doing a lot of you know the the um financial therapy, and it's so funny how that's one of the big things that I always tell couples is a really big hindrance to your, to your growth as a couple is if you're with someone that has an open mind, if you're with someone no, if you're with.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, it doesn't have open. If you're with someone that does not have an open mind and they are, and they are the judge there, are they own, their own judge and juror that is going to be a very difficult relationship to be in. But again, I see a lot of women on tickiktok talking about moving to different places that have men that have a different mindset.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, you know men that's probably more diverse, more, yes, that is, have experienced certain things in life. Because they're not, they're not closed off and that's really key to what you said, because I I say this all the time the person that you decide to spend the rest of your life with is the most important investment that you will ever make.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, I'm a good investment. Huh, you is a great investment. See y'all, I'm a good investment, man.
Speaker 1:
You didn't do my whole train of thought all that quick because I'm still like, yeah, but no real talk. Though that is going to be the most critical investment that you will ever make, because the thing that everything she just said, right, there's a, there's a, there's a thing that that comes in that will negate every part of reasoning if you are with the wrong person and that's love. If you fall in love with the wrong person, that has the wrong mindset. They're not open-minded, they're not, they're not looking to change. They don't listen to understand, they're not communicative. Yeah, they're not willing to travel, they're not willing to do new things, but guess what? You love them. You will spend the latter part of your life trying to change that person or hoping and praying that they're going to be different. They're going to adapt your mentality until you figure out that they don't, and you done wasted 10, 15, 20 years of your life just to say we're not gonna work out yeah, and I just talked to someone.

You know, the universe was the hand I had to say follow some million dollar cheeks also, but please go leave us a review, follow us on our platforms and yeah, well, I was gonna just say y'all don't stuff.
Speaker 1:
Oh well, I thought she's gonna do it fine, that's the problem.
Speaker 3:
That's the problem. But getting back on track real quick. That was the black monopoly and at jaycoveigh underscore. But saying all that to say, guys, you know, it's so important because I was listening to someone that um just recently divorced and you know, um just hearing them talk about, and it was a man, you know, hearing them talk about being in this relationship, this marriage, for so long and um, how, when they would, when their wife would come home from work, how they felt as though they had to. She, she, was the breadwinner of the family and they had to walk on pins and needles.
Speaker 3:
And all I could think about was how miserable, how miserable that really is when you are in a relationship with someone that you have to walk on pins and needles with but, you've been with them for almost 30 years you know, and now, just a minute, like your whole life, your whole life is wrapped up in that person and, regardless of if, even if we don't want to think about that or not our beliefs, our, our systems, because you develop systems you know like seriously we know it takes.
Speaker 3:
It takes 21 days to create a habit. You know what I'm saying, and so imagine how now y'all are so interconnected, even in a way that y'all think, sorry, guys, even in a way that you think, but it's just something that's not keeping y'all together. And it's one thing that I always feel like this your happiness and your peace matters. Anyone that is not in a happy, peaceful relationship that brings them some type of joy, you are eventually you. It's gonna fizzle out, it is. It is because you.
Speaker 1:
You can only deal with that for so long you can only be miserable for so long you can only tolerate in a relationship for so long. Yeah, and that's what that. That's what that. That's what those kind of relationships become.
Speaker 3:
You tolerate each other, yeah but we were not talking about relationships yeah, we just went on zip codes, zip codes yeah, but which? Again, it does man not saying that they don't have you know great or great women in it, but the thing in the zip code that you are currently in.
Speaker 3:
But what we are seeing is I know I saw women on tiktok literally saying that they have moved to other areas expand their horizons, just because they wanted to be able to have access to men in Different zip codes, in different environments, because they wanted to have to have more diverse conversations. They wanted to have more productive, progressive conversations. They wanted to be able to more intellectual.
