Yeah. Yeah. It's your host, Raimundo we back at it for the third time. This is season three. The transition. definitely excited to be with you for another go around. I love this podcast. Shit. Nowadays, I'm a different man. Yesterday's raised not today's Ray. Or better yet seasoned to re. Is Matt season three, re. Has some beautiful changes in my life that I wanted to share with you. Different things I'm dealing with. Still headed in that same direction. To my greatness. So I can pass it down, which is the goal. But besides that. Nino's home. The twins are here. And remove those back. Hey This is episode 19, The transition. But of course, before we get to the proceedings this evening, It's Ben moon does quote of the day And the quote of the day. His boats, you buy. Martha Beck growing wings. The power of change. I'm going to have to read this book. cause I'm the first time I quote her. Any transition serious enough. So ulcer. Your definition of self will require not just small adjustments in your way of living in thinking. But a full on metamorphosis on some straight power Rangers shit nigga, like is Morphin time. That was my shit back in the day. So in route a. Making a change., And your transition, wherever you at with it. It's not some simple 1, 2, 3 shit is going to take. Serious effort. It's going to take. Everything you got. Especially, if you want to really make that change. To. Who you are for? For. To better yourself or the ones you love. And this is like not just by making some changes. And. And hope for the best, no, making it a way of life. Like a diet, right. You, you shouldn't have a diet, you should just eat healthy and. Make the best of it. It make it a way of life. Cause dye is just, you hit diet is depressing. And. Already you already see yourself. Fucking it up. So as you to see that cheeseburger on that grill boy. where I'm at with, in my life, I'm trying to make a while, like, Wild change. Like I'm trying to complete the metamorphosis. I'm trying to like 180, this shit. What kind of go back and forth? With. Being on the super grind and. At this point, I just don't want to look back anymore. Because it's just not about me anymore. But let's wrap it up. Let's talk about who else is about. want to give you a little update. This is season three. A different time in my life. It's a beautiful time in my life. I feel like. I really know what real love is. My twins were born. November 5th, 2021. Ray Jr. Was born. At 1129. And Riah Mauritsa. Was born. At 1131. Yeah. Ever since then I have a. Different outlook on life. I love it in a different way. Because They're part of it. And. Looking at your kid is pure joy. Like. I know the parents can relate. it's just pure joy. I mean, you could get mad. That you're not sleeping, but then they're like, they're so awesome. And beautiful is. But I've been doing the dad thing. It's been two months. It's been great they're healthy. WiFi's great. Her kids are gray. I feel like I'm in a. I'm in like big time appreciation mode. Cause. Seeing your yo. Your wifey. Have a baby and be a mom is a, is a beautiful thing. And. It makes you fall in love with her more. And. It's beautiful to see.. But yeah, Mia, her. We we built in. But right now is, is, has been all about the baby's still in Massachusetts. I don't know if staying here is in the cost forever, but right now, is what we need to be. This is the home place of my babies. So, and I got love. I got love for Matt, Susan. Ain't it. Ain't like New York. But it's called, you know what I'm saying? Speaking to you. I miss New York, like a motherfucker. I ain't been in New York in a minute. GAM is my whole dedication right now is, to my kids. I got to add the other stuff. ASAP Rocky. I'm just trying to put my plan together, man. Like, we don't have plans. And. When they go, when you don't do them. At the time that you want to do them, you get a little discouraged. But the point is, is to never stop. I feel like I got stuck for a little bit. Just so many different ways you can go. Sometimes the options can be overwhelming. Shares like it like being on board. You know what I'm saying?<unk> Like too many options. Option. As far as the remove those show. I'm not going to front, man. There was a part of me that the no. There's going to be season three for a while. I was just like, Lawson. I had like, almost like a creativity block, At this point, I'm like, it's better to do something than to waste time doing nothing, man. Tom is, we on borrowed time, man. So. I love doing this podcast shit, and I'm just gonna. I'm just going to make it happen. One thing. I can say so far that fatherhood told me is. There's no excuses, man. Like. You got to get it done. Straight up. You got to get that shit. The fuck done. Yeah. Also my babies, they will plan. There's other things me and wifey got planned. And, I'm super excited about that. But. I'm also. Trying to be real positive. I'm trying to add positivity on a whole nother level. Like sometimes I feel like that shit is. Like, it's something we don't take serious, but. It does make a difference. Like it takes the same energy to be positive that it is that it does to be negative. So might as well be positive as fuck. We like Mr. Rogers was when he was in the neighborhood. It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood. Rest in peace to Mr. Francis. I as the letter of shuttle. Pretty much on the other side of the transition, but I went from being a. Wife, the voodoo with no kids or wife to do with. Well, five kids, Parenting is no joke, man. Like. You want to be the best, for your children and you want them to have the best and you want to make sure they good. And it's nonstop. Worry. it's a good worry. Cause. You just want them to be good. Now you, the, at that moment, you understand. Why your parents. One of Joanne's home or, be all up in your shit, trying to find out, what you out to. I fly you'll understand it. So You're the parent that got to worry about all that. But now, because of that, Now I'm trying to make the transition to entrepreneur. Like I'm trying to really. Like stop just talking about it and, or make a little moves. Like. I forgot. I got to execute on a higher level. Organize myself. And go for it because honestly, life. It. It rewards the bold, like. There's been times I've been real bold. Shit. The reason why. While I'm, I'm in a relationship right now and I got my babies and in wifey and. Everything going on. Because I was bold. I, I paused since. I paused the shit to keep it a buck. But, I'm also trying to bring it back. Shit. Cause I know me, entrepreneur work is, is a lot of work, but it pays off when you don't have to miss. Anything that your child is involved in. And I remember missing a certain things. And I said it before about my nieces, I go crazy with my kids. So I'm going to. I'm going to put it together, man. And. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Window fairs. I going to be with me on this journey. It's going to be fun. I'm only going to get better. Most of them will try to. Help others more. I've been, I feel like I've been, I used to do that. Before more often I just been. Focused on self. Ciao. So haven't been meditating as much. So. Might they get back into that. You're going to see the proof. You're going to see how much my energy going to change from the first. to the 30th floor. That was the main reason why. I named. Season three, the transition. Was I'm a parent now. I want to be an entrepreneur. I want to get myself. The healthiest I've ever been. Honestly, this is the biggest I've ever been there. Like it's like she got pregnant, but I got all the week. Like yo. I started eating good. Me and wife has thought a year. Wow. Good. But she looks great. She looked like she didn't even have no twins. And I looked like I had triplets. I could joke on myself like that. Cause I know. I know, I don't know how to lose the weight quick, but at this point I need to, because I'm playing. I'll play with that. I know, or they've been calling me big moon though, lately. You know what I'm saying? Sounds cool. Because, I love when you call me big moon or. Throw your hands in the air have used a true player. Honestly. Nobody calls me that. Maybe a girl. No. Transcribing... I'm a summary. I. I like, yo, he really be naming. His season's like an album, like a rap album. Shit. I'll be Fest. That's all. It was like, it was like in a way. We all want to be rappers. Especially if you used to rap. meaning. Doing them, but go stop me on the. But I know I'm not the only one. We only need to make changes. For whatever the reason is. Usually it's for the better, I don't know too many people making changes so she can get worse. I mean, you do that by mistake of don't get me wrong, but. I'll be, I can relate. For like every level in your life. You should be looking to like, Upgrade, Jay and Beyonce. Yeah, I ain't going to front. When they first started doing songs, it was cool. But then at some point I was like, all right, we get it. Yeah. I love each other yeah. Like. I'm doing songs with each other. The Shout out the gym, beyonce So I was. In my thought process, I'm thinking like, I, what do I need? To make this official, like, to be the best father to be. A successful entrepreneur. To be healthy, to be strong. You don't have to have to get my mom, right? Like Memphis. Bleek like, what the fuck do I gotta do? And. It's. Certain things I'd like timeless. Consistency. Eventually you're going to be good at whatever you're doing. If you're consistent at it, like. This is when you haven't had it over time. Don't give up now. Shit. Patience. Of course, we want everything right now. You gotta be good with failure. You gotta be fine with failure and making mistakes. And. Continue to keep pushing. You got to learn to be uncomfortable. The uncomfortable zone. Is it sucks in the beginning, but it gets better. It's like being, you ever been in like, the, whatever, been cold at the pool, but like you just have a phone, you don't even feel the water's cold. Like you feel like you one with the water. Eventually gets like that. Some people's like, yo nigga. Fuck outta here is cold. I ain't fucking with that cold water. And again, you got to, it's good to track in. See progress anywhere and don't count to progress by like, if you didn't have. Me and a hundred thousand and today there'll be upset about it. Like give yourself more realistic time. That's what I'm doing, man. I got a big number in my head. But it just certain things I'm just going to keep to myself. And. Share the progress. Real progress, man. Cause there's a lot of phony homeys out there. When they make you feel like you track. Cause you're not, you're not where they are, but some of that should be fake. There's people that. There's dudes out here, renting cars just to front on the gram, like, everybody fronts at some point on the ground. Right. I dunno. A few or two bigs. Yeah. You know, What's crazy. You always want some shit, but when you get it, Are you maintaining it? Gannett is just important as is maintaining it. Like you gotta maintain that shit. You want real change? Maintenance, all those things I just discussed on porn. If not. You going to say the same? You. Are you going to stay or are you going to deal with the same shit that you should have been stopped dealing with? I mean, I, I go for all of us deal with certain things don't get, and we have to sometimes. It's part of our story, but. When is the last straw When is it that, you had enough? Like J-Lo in that movie when she was violent and she got the low cut. Well, that brings me to another point. And I know you've heard the same before. Understanding the assignment. That means you didn't come to play. You learn what was needed? To take care of business. And you basically delivered on a promise. So, whether you may win the not. You know, who comes to mind? When I think about. Understanding the assignment Regina king. I feel like lately. The movies. The project she's doing the commercial. She's in. Like she's doing her thing, man. And it just thinking about it. Uh, the first time I saw her was. in Friday. she was a. She was Craig's sister. She out here really making moves. my heart goes out to her. she lost her son. I couldn't imagine that that page is going through. But I feel like she's a warrior. She's going to bounce back. Once it's in your DNA. it's only a matter of time. Well four, you may get comeback. Even with the toughest things we got to deal with in life, which is loss. Yeah, man, but y'all know how I do. Got a pay some bills be back after this little quick bird today The old you. Or you're always running like. When you try and do something different. You're always that wasn't doing that different. Might be calling. And you might be tempted to pick up, but. Just no. The you that did those things didn't have the life you want. So Your actions got an equal to be the person that you want to be. Until it's, solid. We all have greatness, man, but our actions and our thoughts dictate. Where we really go with it. People, like I said, people on the estimate positivity. And. Going out there and getting it. I don't know how I do it and I stopped doing it. That shit, that shit bug. That's why, you know, I got another mental health episode this season. The old you like I ain't going for I'm better than I used to be. And, but they're just certain parts about me that. No matter what it's just, It's in the little text message or a little call or. Come back to this. And. That was the life of, isolation and. I don't know, bad decisions. Habits take a while to bail, but bad habits are so easy to keep or they so easy to come back. I'll always say this, right? Like I stopped smoking cigarettes. But I know I'm like, Five cigarettes away from being back like full time. Like punching the clock with the W2. Yeah, it was there like. You gotta be careful with this shit you used to do, man. Like not all of us, not all of us have that willpower. Yeah, but change is hard as fuck, man. You got your patterns, you got things that you so used to. In Spanish, there was a saying. Like. Being comfortable is stronger than love. Kayla. Like that shit is. As you deal with some fucked up shit, It's still easier than starting over. But sometimes you got to start over Casanova. Sorry. I'm having a good time. I pass in a minute. I've been doing my daddy duties. They sleep right now. So. Guilt-free. Well, it's great when like I'm doing something and I come back and I see their faces. It's like the bus. They have all these numbers for like, Building a new habit, like. I heard 21 days. The 66 days. I heard a fucking 127 days. And I'm like, I think it's just how many days it takes you to, to. Do the habit, If it takes you fucking 20, 20 years. And you don't stop doing it. Then it's then that's it. You build the habit like. I know sometimes I'll be feeling like I'm waiting for somebody to call me like, yo. You built the habit. Duke. And I'm like, okay, thanks. And like, that's it. It's official now. Fuck. Shit don't work like that, man. I was just talking about myself. I know. You guys might have other renditions of it. Yeah, but. But I put together like a little. Thing like Moonglow way of. Tackling something, getting something done. If you tried a new works. Let me know if you try it and it doesn't work. Let me know. You could send me an email at Muno at the remainder. Dot com. That's just the luck. You know what I'm saying? They ain't going nowhere. So my thing is, write it down. Break it down. Take action. Maintain it. And improve it. So I feel like in a nutshell, Do that shit. Get that shit. Keep that shit. And those stop. To you. actually, you never stopped. You just always find the way to make it better because inflation is a motherfucker. For real man, yo like I've been to seminars, I've heard the word when I was younger, but. Seeing that shit in, What COVID done to it. It's just is wow. Like this is wow. Like inflation is fucking wild. Like the federal reserve is wild. All that shit is wild. But we're not here for that, man. We here to talk about good times. That's my other podcast. This has been an awesome episode, man. I ain't going to front like. It's good to be back. There's so many things I got in the making, but again in the past, I ain't going to the front. Like I haven't. Delivered as much as I would like to. So I'm going to talk about my progress. I said, I get to the workplace. I know I can. Say some shit and by it's done by. And by the next episode right now, I say some shit by the next episode. I might not get it done by. nah, you know what? I got to talk differently. Actually, my boy, man just told me that shit like, yo. You gotta be more positive, you know what. I'm going to do a lot of great shit this year. Because everything is going to benefit my kids, my wife. Her kids, which is my kids too. Shout out to DJ, shout out the Vivian. Shout out to Jonathan. I love y'all. Shout out to Ray junior and Riah. I love y'all. Some marrow, my wife. Yeah. I love you, baby. We all take over the world. I wanted to get into something else also. Which is. Trusting the process. well, trust the process. Which is a term. Probably been out before, but Joel and B, which is a basketball player for the 70 sixes, he kind of made it as thing. And. She was looking kind of, she didn't look too good for him when his career started. He had a lot of injuries and now he's like, And the elite player. And he did ask my win the MVP this year. It was looking real good. He's been consistent. And he always puts that shit out in the universe. He's been saying he's going to win the MVPs core in title. As well, you got to say your shit out loud, be proud and go after it. I go fucking. The house. Just make sure. You don't handle it like, like Ben Simmons. And. Not give it a shot. Back to them. And bead. He never gave up on himself. So you got to do the same. Can't give up on yourself. you got to trust that everything you're doing. it's going to lead to something eventually. you just got to keep pushing it's like that. We've all seen that mean where they both digging. For the diamonds and. One dude quit. And he was like one. Chop away from getting the diamonds and the other dude got diamonds, some shit like that. Yan and. Trusting the process trust you, trusting yourself is. It makes a big difference. Like. There's confidence that comes with that. Cause. You know, you got you, not, not all of us have a naturally. Some of us got to build that shit. You got to do whatever it is. That you feel you need to do and continue to do it. And just see the growth in it, man. Like. Seeing yourself go from a to Z is it's a beautiful process. I don't even know. How I'm not doing it a hundred, you know what. As crazy I'm going to do it. A whole bunch of times, man. I gotta say, I love that. I love that feeling when you. When you follow through with something. And I mean, this podcast, like I said before, is proof of it. I've I wrote everything down. I broke it down and. You know, more seasoned, three. We're plans for bonus season, season four. Yeah, I just want to keep giving you content. Eventually, I want this to be my. The way I bring home the bacon. But that was great words by Stanley. If there's something you love, You'll be great at it. And you won't mind. Going through everything you got to go through. To always have it. Which is where I'm at with the podcast. It makes me happy, like Jeezy on Hennessy. Seeing that video, where he was doing that. Wow. Robotic shit. There's just certain things in life that you know, to, for you to do them, you gotta be happy as fuck. And. That dance will definitely was one of them. But we all go through transitions in life. Whether yours is going from broke to rich. From sad to happy. From introvert. Award-winning public speaker. The change you make and how you make it. We'll give you the transition you been looking for. I know there's a whole bunch of work and shit I haven't done yet. To get me where I've never been. And I just gotta be really to put the work in. And I ain't mean to rhyme. But we almost out of time. let's get into the final save ban. Like. I kind of went ham on it. Yeah, let me know what y'all think. Raymundo's final. Say You gotta go hard. Or you can stay your ass at home. If you think you can, you can, if you think you can't, then what's the point. Know, what you want from the situation and those stop until you get that shit. Learn how to make it happen. Repeats. And it's like a song that you don't get tired of. There's no extra credit for understanding the assignment. You just know what's expected and you just do what you gotta do. Change is inevitable. You might as well get in front of it. So you've never left behind. As cliche as it sounds. Be the fucking change that you want to see. Improve your life. So you will have to wait for the weekend to turn the fuck up. You could do it every day. Any day. When you feel like you can call the shots. But thank you everybody. That's been a wonderful episode is good to be back. Season three and full effect. stay tuned. Thanks for rocking with me. Love ya. Remember always be positive. Till next time. Peace, love Mundo out, out, out. Honestly, it's been a while since I did some poetry, shit, to be honest, I've written anything. This poem goes with. Something I'm still dealing with. every now and then I always try to make some type of change. That's life right. It's called rip. To the old me. Ram by me. But here we go. The spoken word The old me half the eventually go away like an army recruit. Have to take my pass. Put it in a coffin with a black suit. After say bye-bye. Like Chris brown deuces. I was born a winner, but if I don't change, I'm going to end up losing. four years ago, my life was at an all time high. I felt like my only limit was the sky. Now a lot has changed and I can't seem to keep the negativity. Out my brain. You know, things are strange when you find yourself from you, the pain. But I'm ready to skip the brain and welcome to sunshine. I just got to find out what works. And repeat the process, a millionaire four times. Like ergo, when he became the phone, I'm going to be a better me. Because when I die. I want to make sure I leave behind the legacy. So fuck. The old me, that motherfuckers in the past, you could say he's really history, like social studies class. I was like 24 when I wrote that. Loving years ago. Still fire. To the next time
