What's trusting the process for you now after what Well, let's let's
MJ:let's just be 100. 100 with with with our audience. In doing when when you're partnering partnering up with a friend, a coworker, a family member, whatever, You know, there there is gonna there are gonna be challenges because everybody because we both have people have different visions, different ideas, different concepts, and so forth. When you are going with somebody else yeah. Working with somebody else, it's it's hard.
MJ:It's challenging. It's challenging. And we're we're gonna we're gonna discuss a situation that has occurred Yeah. In in in his podcast. But, again, it's like it's being mature.
MJ:It's it's being an adult, and it's like, alright. Acknowledging it. It's acknowledging it, having the having a conversation, having discussion, things are gonna be said. Mhmm. But remember also too when when you guys are having that discussion, like for us, it's because we're both passionate
AYD:Yes.
MJ:About what we're doing. But we're different. We're different. Oh, yeah. We're different.
MJ:And it's also finding your form of communication. And that's what we're gonna talk about. Yeah. Because there was there was communication that was wasn't really reciprocated in a way where I could understand, where I as as Abe would say, would process.
AYD:Right.
MJ:Like, I didn't know what that meant to him.
AYD:Yeah. Exactly. For the 8 fans, you know, for the 8 fans, he's not like us.
MJ:Not like us.
AYD:There you go.
MJ:There we we go. Kendrick.
AYD:Kendrick, shout out. But
MJ:but, yeah, let's let's let's let's get it started. But let's let's talk about the positives. Yeah.
AYD:Let's yeah. For sure. So what's been the I say let's talk about the negative side. I think we need to talk about the yeah. Because we we got past that.
MJ:You know what
AYD:I mean? If we talk about the positive and they go back, why go backwards? Let's go forward.
MJ:So let's
AYD:talk about the negative and then how we got through this shit together,
MJ:brother. Okay. So then let's let's let's hear your side. Not your side, but let's let's explain The
AYD:story. The
MJ:yeah. The story.
AYD:For, aid for me, it was, I was really working on myself internally and I didn't express exactly what I was going through or what I was working on in detailed to, you know, MJ, who is my partner in riding the wave. And I now I understand where it could have caused confusion, but I didn't wanna tell him because I didn't want any negativity coming towards my way because I feel it or any bad thoughts or any bad energy or you know, I really wanted to do it for myself and be able to show the change without saying, Hey, I'm going to make this change. I'm going to do this. And you know, if I don't do it, then I failed and now I'm not, now I'm not accountable. Like, he couldn't count, count on me or he couldn't, you know, trust me or put his faith in me.
AYD:You know? But I think by keeping it from him, it still gave him, in my, in my opinion, it still gave him that perspective because 1, I didn't know how he was viewing this. I didn't know how he was gonna take it. I was just, oh, that's gross. Don't take it like that.
AYD:Oh, no.
MJ:I'll take it. Alright. Yeah.
AYD:I just wanted to I just wanted to show growth without having to go into detail.
MJ:Without having to mention it.
AYD:Mention it. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. You know?
MJ:And and that's what I was telling Aid. It's, he used the word, like, it's it's my process. Right? I'm processing. I'm but I didn't know what that meant.
AYD:I was telling trust the process. Trust my process.
MJ:Yeah. Trust my process. So I I didn't know I didn't know what that meant. So what we're gonna I'm gonna give a a bleep brief explanation on what on on what happened. Yeah.
MJ:So a couple weeks ago, we decided, because we need we need to expand
AYD:our podcast. And we can't do this without your help. So, man, by all means, send it out to your family, friends, cousins, sisters, Sanchez, Sanchez.
MJ:Whatever it is. Yeah. So, like, you know, I was noticing that we hit a certain plateau on our our our podcast. So I I got an idea by my my nephew, CJ, to go out and go to, like, a public area, like, the beach or Hollywood, whatever it is, to promote the podcast. Right.
AYD:And if you don't know who CJ is, go check out our previous podcast to where CJ Seafood and Broil hit him up.
MJ:Fire food. Fire food.
AYD:By the way. But just wanna get that get that out there for season.
MJ:Yeah. So my nephew was preview previously on the podcast. He's he's real. What's what's the word I'm looking for? Like, social media swabby and so forth.
AYD:Knowledgeable. Yeah.
MJ:Knowledgeable. And and He has experience. 8 and I you know, I'm I'm 37. He's what? 40.
AYD:I don't put
MJ:a number
MJ:on it. I mean,
AYD:it's just age is just a number.
MJ:We're we're the older with the with the whole, social media scenery. It's it's it's it's something that we're we're we're getting accustomed to.
AYD:Yes. Yes. Well, I mean, we're not used to doing this.
MJ:Yeah. We're not used to it
MJ:We're not we're not used to, like, being in front of the camera and, like, talking and, oh my god. Hey. How you guys Constantly
AYD:being on the phone. Yeah.
MJ:Constantly being on
AYD:the phone.
MJ:Like, it's just it's not our thing. It's not our thing. But we understand being in this platform, it's something again, like the episode the the last episode we did was change.
AYD:Adapting to change. Yeah.
MJ:We're we're adapting to this change.
AYD:Yes.
MJ:And when you're adapting to change, there is gonna be conflict Right. Especially during a partnership.
AYD:Right.
MJ:So, it's it's all about growth and it's trial it's trial and error and it's communication. But with communication, we we we talk about it a lot. Yes. But everybody's communication is different. The way you communicate with your kids, with your wife, with your friends is different the way I communicate with my friends, you know, and and and and everybody else in my life, you know.
MJ:So it's like finding
AYD:Different walks of life.
MJ:Finding that balance where we both can understand what each other is is is And meet a common ground. Yeah. We meet a common ground. But, so we I noticed that we're hitting a plateau on our videos. So my little nephew was like, well, why don't you go out and speak to speak to people and and get your, your podcast, go network.
MJ:And I I discussed it with with Ade, and we decided to we were gonna do it, which it was gonna be, in June June, 20 21st, 22nd. We're we're gonna go to we were we were gonna go to Venice Beach. Right? And, leading up leading up to that, I'm gonna let a take over and let him explain his process and so forth.
AYD:Alright. So pretty much everything that happened was I was right. He was wrong. No.
MJ:And the battle begins.
AYD:There it is. I'm always right. He's always no. I'm just kidding. But, I was going through a process where it was, again, like I said earlier, it was just internal.
AYD:It was just something that I was really battling myself. I was really
MJ:Well, explain to them your process. Explain to them what you're what you were really generally feeling. Like, what was what was it that you were feeling?
AYD:I was feeling I wasn't gonna get to that, but
MJ:I'm sorry.
AYD:No. It's it's it's alright. My wife interrupts me as well. She's not my wife. No.
AYD:Not nice. But yeah. No. But I was feeling that, you know, from the get go, I told him this is my process. Wearing the mask, it's my process.
AYD:It's how I'm working through things, and I have to go through this process. I have to challenge myself. I have to have these breakthroughs in order to become the better version of myself to become the better version of aid and how I want to put it out there to all the listeners, you know, all the families, the friends, everybody. And it was just something that I didn't want to explain to MJ or I didn't want to put it out there to anybody else because it was my process. It was for me to really go through to for me to challenge myself and really show that I'm making progress without any negative thought.
AYD:I I was assuming I was assuming just like, no. I'm just gonna get negative thoughts. I'm just, you know, III don't need the bad attitude or anything that's just gonna like, oh, you can't do that. Oh, why would you do that? It doesn't make sense and everything.
AYD:I just wanted to avoid all that. But by doing that, I also wasn't really expressing myself to MJ and how I was going through this. And I felt that the support wasn't there. I felt that the trust wasn't there. I I felt that, you know, he didn't have my back.
AYD:I felt like he didn't have my back, and that shit bothered me, you know, especially when it's your partner, you know. And I was trying to express that to him while he was trying to express something. He was trying to express his perspectives. And, you know, MJ give your perspective on how you were approaching it.
MJ:Yeah. So and what aid means as far as this process, and correct me if I'm wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong. No. It was just, you know, the whole mask and all of that.
MJ:I mean, most of I thought it was a little silly. Right? I I thought. But again, that was my opinion. Mhmm.
MJ:My opinion. Right. And you to the audience too because sometimes some of you may not feel comfortable doing certain things or wearing a certain thing
AYD:or
MJ:whatever it is. That's your process. When you're ready, you'll do whatever it is that you're ready to do. Mhmm. So I needed to take a step back and instead of trying to tell him what to do or like, hey, man.
MJ:Like, not supporting him to support him. If you wanna wear the mask, wear the mask. Rather what I believe or not, it's it's not it's not me. It's not up to me. It's it's up to him.
MJ:You can't you can't force someone to be what you want them to be or expect them to be or, like, oh, I have this this this expectation or this belief in you. Like, we can't we can't do that.
AYD:Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.
MJ:And and these are things that we, we should have discussed before we started the podcast. So we we were
AYD:all sit down.
MJ:Yeah. We had a sit down, and and that's what I wanna really wanna reflect with you guys when if you guys are ever decide to partner up with someone, like, really sit down really sit down and discuss everything.
AYD:The goal.
MJ:The the
MJ:the goals. The vision.
MJ:Like
MJ:The mindset. Yes. You know, the confidence level. Where are you at? Process.
MJ:The process and so forth. Like, it's very important to do that, and, you know, we didn't do that. We didn't. I mean, we did we did we did, but we didn't.
AYD:We kinda, like, half assed that shit, to be honest.
MJ:Yeah. So, And this
AYD:is new to us, but
MJ:So, like, you know, I I wasn't aware that maybe he was if if respectfully, if if I could say maybe your the confidence, Your is I mean, would that be a proper It
AYD:was I no. I mean, it was a it it was the confidence, but it was the confidence as far as the way I present myself.
MJ:Yeah. Would I say, like, you're just in your head? Yeah.
AYD:I doubted my I I doubt I doubted myself.
MJ:Okay. So so if if respectfully, we could say self doubt. You're going through self doubt.
AYD:Yeah. I was going yes. I was going through self doubt.
MJ:Self doubt. And, I I wasn't fully aware that that's the transition of what he was going through. So then moving forward, we decided to to do this. We decided to, hey, hey, we're gonna go out there and promote the podcast because in all honesty, it's, you know, we hit a plateau. We're both equally driven, but we're in 2 different stages in our in in our lives.
MJ:Yeah. You know? And and then you have and then as a party, you have to understand that. You have and and if it's not if if you don't like it, if that's not where you're at, then it's okay to move on. It's not personal to to move on.
MJ:Right. But I didn't wanna move on. III knew that I needed to understand him because in a relationship, you need to understand with each other 1 another.
AYD:I mean, not like that kind of relationship, but
MJ:Because a lot of people, like, you know, it gets it gets rocky. And what do people do?
AYD:Quit. They quit. They quit. You know what? You go your way, I go my way, and that's it.
AYD:Yeah. And I'm not gonna lie, like, that Did it cross my mind?
MJ:I crossed both of our minds.
AYD:I think
MJ:it's normal. Yeah.
AYD:It's normal. And I was like, no, this is where, this is where we get challenged. This is where, you know, every motivational speaker talks about, like, you're gonna get negative energy. You're gonna get, you know, you're gonna hit a wall and all you got all you can do is just keep moving forward. And that's what I thought.
AYD:Like, no. Like, I'm not giving up on this. I'm like like, this is this is my my brother, you know. Like, I got to express myself. We we we we we're gonna figure this out.
AYD:And I just started trying to get into a positive mindset because I was angry with him. I was bothered. I was hurt. I was frustrated. I was just overwhelmed.
AYD:I was just like, wait. How is he just not getting it? Like, because I was feeling like if I told him just let me go through my process, have faith in it, let me let me do what I need to do, I felt that that was enough. Maybe it wasn't. You know what I mean?
AYD:Maybe it wasn't enough because we we started bumping heads,
MJ:You know? I I just didn't know
MJ:Yeah.
MJ:What the process meant. And I'm I'm a very blunt person. If you tell me something straight up, if you're just like, hey You're weird. MJ, like, like, I don't wanna go. I don't wanna do this.
AYD:Right.
MJ:Then it's like because I'm not comfortable. Okay. You You know? But when it's just like when I'm guessing on, like, well, what's the process and this, like, that's where we we we got we were frustrated with each other. And we both we both felt the same way.
MJ:We both wanted to quit. We both feel like this wasn't gonna work out. But at the same time, it's like, okay. Hold on. Let's let's stop.
AYD:The brakes.
MJ:Yeah. Again, it's like
AYD:knee brake.
MJ:Controlling our emotions. You know, that's that is that is a real important, like, concept that we need to remember is you need we need we need to just stop. Like, we're, like, we're getting so caught up and stuff. Like, stop. Yeah.
MJ:It's cool. And not allow your emotions Yeah. Like our last episode is change and and and and and and then we make changes that are not beneficial towards us.
AYD:Right. Right.
MJ:We make negative changes, and then we and then we have that regret.
MJ:Mhmm.
MJ:But if we just had a sit down conversation, we discussed it like adults, we understood each other. Mhmm. Progress.
AYD:Right.
MJ:Progress.
AYD:I'm not gonna lie. I felt like, James, you know, MJ over here, you know, had like a grown man tantrum. My perspective. But I get it now that we had our sit down and we talked about it. Like, I wasn't being, like, giving my teammate, my partner, you know, my brother, the full story who he deserves the full story, you know, and and I accepted the fact that I doubted him at the fact that I was just gonna I assumed I was gonna get negative feedback.
AYD:You know what I mean? I assumed because at the beginning when I was like, I'm gonna wear the mask. What? What? So I just automatically assumed.
AYD:And that was on me because you can't assume. Or else it makes out
MJ:an ass
MJ:out of
AYD:you and me, you know? And, got it. But people still use that shit. But it works.
MJ:What am I? But
AYD:it works.
MJ:That older cat. I was like, what does that mean?
AYD:I'm like, oh, okay. But, yeah, like, III didn't give you the trust or the opportunity to actually embrace what I was really going through to allow you to really understand and say, hey. You know, like, hey. You know what? I see what a's talking about, and I'll give him my support.
AYD:You know, I didn't allow you to I didn't give you details in order for you to give me that support that I was looking for. I just gave you bare minimum.
MJ:And that's what we talked that's what we mean about, like, communication. Yeah. You know, communication is key, but you we you have to find that form of communication.
AYD:Yes.
MJ:If Aid would have told me straight up from the back what he felt, like, instead of saying
MJ:the process
AYD:not going to the back. Hello.
MJ:Instead of just saying, hey. Just process. You know what, James? I'm just I'm just not ready yet. I'm just not ready yet to go to that to do that, which I would have been okay.
MJ:I'm I'm okay with because we're we're both we're at different levels. And I'm a very passionate person. He's a very passionate person. Yes. We we we care a lot, ex especially with this podcast.
MJ:Yeah. And we both have a vision. And and our our visions is maybe a little bit different, but still it's still connected. And you we all have to find our strengths Yeah.
AYD:And our weaknesses. Yes.
MJ:And in my weaknesses is his strength, and then his weakness is my strength.
AYD:Right.
MJ:So it's like we have to find a balance. Yeah.
AYD:We And it's also like wording. Like, words Well, the types of words you use can change the whole conversation. Because feeling saying, I understand you're uncomfortable versus you're working through something. You know, like, it's like, I'm not I mean, I'm not uncomfortable because I'm wearing a mask. Like, I wore the mask.
AYD:I put myself in an uncomfortable situation. I I got past that. It's different from saying I'm not ready. Yeah. You know, it is different, you know, because I'm not ready internally and in other ways.
AYD:And I think MJ would have understood that, but instead is that he like the uncomfortable, it's not uncomfortable. It's not uncomfortable. But, yes, I wasn't ready because there were things that I was still working on internally.
MJ:Yeah. And it's just yeah. And like like like Ace says, it's wording yourself. Like, when we had this this discussion, it wasn't like, you know, we're cussing at each other and you're you're you're
AYD:you're Being disrespectful.
MJ:Being disrespectful because that the moment you're disrespectful towards your partner, any partner, that's it. That relationship is over. Like, that relationship is over. And that's something that rather it's 2 dudes or or you're we we should not disrespect each other. We should not.
MJ:Like and if if it if it's coming to that, we're you're we're getting so time out. Yeah. Time out.
AYD:Because this I think this really challenged me on, like It challenged both of us. Yeah. Yeah. It did challenge both of us. For me, it challenged myself.
AYD:I'm like controlling my emotions. Like, brother, like, bro, I got I was angry. I was heated. I was frustrated. I was overwhelmed.
AYD:I was I was everything. I wanted to, like man, I was ready to, like, scrap. Yes. Not really. Not really.
AYD:Not really. I wasn't ready to scrap. I was just saying that. But I was just so, like, angry and it I allowed it to consume me so much that it was so draining mentally
MJ:I get it. Physically. You know what's so funny is my my my buddy at the shop was like, you know, you're letting him live in your in your head rent free.
AYD:Bro, they told me the exact same thing. They they told me the exact same thing, like, yeah, he got in your head. Like, yep. And I agree.
MJ:And I agree. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. For real.
MJ:So it's it's but it's but see, like, it's funny now that we could sit here. We can you know, we laugh about it like damn. Yeah. But it and it's okay. You know why?
MJ:Because it's you gotta trust the process. It's part Yes. It's part
AYD:of the process.
MJ:The process. Mhmm. You know? So there's no bad blood. There's no hard feelings.
MJ:Like, at the same time, like, when you guy any of you guys have a goal and maybe you feel like the the person that you're supposed to do it didn't show, doesn't mean you need to stop.
AYD:Yes.
MJ:Don't let no 1 stop you from achieving that goal or that desire.
AYD:Right. And you know yeah.
MJ:And when he's ready, we'll go out and promote it. But I'm ready. I'm ready. And I went out and I kicked ass and I promoted it. You know?
MJ:You did. And it's and and that's for me.
AYD:And I'm proud I'm proud I'm proud
MJ:of you
AYD:that you did that, brother.
MJ:That's my self growth. That's my, my process and my dedication to this podcast. But it doesn't mean just because he's not out there doing what I'm doing doesn't make him less involved or whatever. But we went to the drawing board and we're like, alright, man. These are these these are my responsibilities.
MJ:These are your responsibilities. And we pretty much put it like this. It's our our our kids, our family, our job, and the podcast.
AYD:Yes. Like And then it's you guys.
MJ:And then it's you Yeah.
AYD:Amazing. People out there.
MJ:But in real you know, in in all reality, that's that's that's how we had to organize it.
AYD:Yeah.
MJ:It's and it's not about, you know, when you're ready, when I'm ready, when, like, when we wanna do things. Like, no. Like, we we it's like, no. It's when we need to start promoting or we need to start setting things in motion, like, we do it now. Yeah.
MJ:We don't wait. It's, and it was it I and we wanted to bring this to your guys' attention because it's how many of you guys have gotten into arguments with
AYD:you either your loved ones. Yeah. Loved ones, family. Yeah.
MJ:So fucking angry at them, and you're just like, oh, but then you don't talk about it.
AYD:Yeah. You don't talk about it. Like, what?
MJ:Yeah. No. No. No. You just fucking ignore it.
MJ:Yeah. And you let she just build up, build up, build up. And it's just, like, calm the fuck.
AYD:Yeah. Take a breath.
MJ:I don't wanna say I hate the word calm down, but let's control our emotions. Let's control our emotions. I don't like the word calm down because that shit triggers.
AYD:It is. It is.
MJ:Like let's just control our emotions. Yeah. Let's just take a step back, take some fucking breaths. It's it's not the end of the world.
AYD:It's not.
MJ:It's it's not, you know, he he's we're not losing money or whatever. It's just we're just I'm very passionate. He's very passionate, but we're we're passionate in different ways and our process
AYD:Yes.
MJ:Is different in different ways.
AYD:Agreed.
MJ:And, you know, and that being said, is any more any more,
AYD:No. I I mean, IIII vented to, I vented to a couple of people, mainly, you know, my wife and, you know, she heard both sides. And III made sure I wanted to make sure that because obviously, there's 2 sides.
MJ:Yeah. There's 3 sides. 3 sides. There's there's your side, my side, and then the truth.
AYD:Yes. Yes. There's 3 sides. But I wanted to convey like MJ's side as much as possible because I didn't want to just make it just about my side. Right.
AYD:I wanted I I wanted her to see where MJ was coming from. So I I gave really detailed information about what he was saying and stuff like that. She understood, and she let me know as well, like where I was in the wrong or what I could be doing differently and my approach. And, you know, it was like, thank you, babe. I appreciate you.
AYD:You know? And it brought a lot it brought light to the situation. You know? And even though I was, overwhelmed, I didn't allow negative feedback to look at MJ differently. I didn't allow negative feedback to, to justify like what we got going on and what we're working through and stuff like that.
AYD:You know? Because at the end of the day, it's 8 and MJ, you know, and 2 peas in a pod. That part. But it was just like, you know, nah. You know, like, we're better than this.
AYD:We're better than this. We both want this we both see the same vision on where we want this to go. And, you know, we helped out 1 person. We helped out 1 person, and we reached our goal. Now it's time to set another goal.
AYD:And now it's time to continue to grow, you know, however long it might take, but I definitely had to reevaluate the way I moved in order to make sure that, you know, m MJ was, understood where I was coming from and really, was able to I gave him the like, to give him the opportunity to be like, okay. I get it and I support you. You know, I don't think me holding, back information just because it was for me, allowed him to do that because it left him confused. I mean, I don't wanna say it left you confused. Do you feel
MJ:No. No. You're yeah. I was. Like, I yeah.
MJ:I would tell you I was I was confused. But now that we're fully aware of both sides of where you're coming from, where I'm coming from Yeah. Now we're able to get back on track.
AYD:Mhmm.
MJ:You know, like, we're again, like, my my Yeah. My thing is with this podcast and with podcasting, you gotta switch things up.
AYD:You do.
MJ:You gotta switch things up. And I look at the views a lot. I look at I look at a lot of things a lot. I'm obsessed with it. Like, ex girlfriend status, like, stalking status.
AYD:Like, I really
