We never had our fathers around. You know, our mums are working, working, so we will always, we had a lot of free time to mingle and be on the street. You know. And instead of somebody telling us about mistakes that we're going to make, we've made the mistakes ourselves.And a lot of the time the mistakes were very, you know, very bad. You know, it's a lot of the times end up in jail sentences with court cases, you know, and it's not the right way. You know, you live this lifestyle for six months, you shine for six months and you suffer for, for five years. It doesn't make no sense.You know? And you know, I've been stabbed as well before. You know. Yeah. You know, that's not nice. You know, I be stabbed by a woman and a guy. What at the [00:01:00] age where we say, rah, where did we go wrong? Okay, we went wrong there. So what we need to do is educate, educate, educate. You know, parents need education.The kids need education opportunities. We don't want them to go back into drugs. We want them to go into opportunities. Davious: [00:01:15] I'm more than that. You know, I, I, when I looked back on my life, it's funny. I just had that mentality, you know, just to rob steal, sell crack. Sell like drugs, and that was the norm for me. I remember.It's just crazy. Um, there was nothing about building. It's always, if I'm going to build, I'm gonna build in a scam way. My life was based on a scam. It's nothing doing things the correct way, you know, doing business correctly. It's about, you know, getting a million. You know, in a, dodgy way. As we know, there's a lot of agendas out there.You know, people trying to destroy people out there. You know, not trying to get the best out of people. Keep people [00:02:00] poor, you know, why can't I be a property manager? Why can't I be a property developer? Why not? You know, why? Why has it been pushed on, on my path to be negative, to be a rapper, to be a footballer?You know, why can't I be er, into politics. Why couldn't I be a scientist? Why can't I be a doctor? You know? That's not pushed around, you know, the, the, the, in, in the area that I'm from, that's not the norm. So, you know, I had a lot of friends dying. You know, a few friends going and doing life in prison. And I just realised, you know, when you, when I look back on their life, a lot of them died as babies.19, 21, you know, you know, I'm 36 now. I look back at their life and I think that's sad. I think I can acquire wealth, more wealth, doing something legit. And you know, hence we got Sincere Sesponse. It is a [00:03:00] CIC, but at least we've, we've helped people make money be, you know, people are part of the Sincere Response team.They know they've made money, which is good, and they know they've led skills, which is good if you are. Um, people that work within, Sincere Response, they will tell you, told you they've made money and they, they've learned skills. The most important they've got skills.Inyang: [00:03:20] We're the sacrifice for, for our kids, for the future, you know, for our the for our for our nephew and nieces.None of them are gonna make the same mistakes that we made and that, uh, and the older females mate, we will let educate them about the mistake. So they're aware about it. One thing the adults don't do, they never tell the kids about the mistakes that they made. So the kids go and make the same mistake as the mum and the dad.I think that's very selfish. We spend a lot of time on the street. We don't want to be on the street all the time is wasted on the street. We need to be with the kids do you understand, in workshops and teaching them these skills. The kids, a lot of the time, these kids, they don't want to be in school because schools are teaching them the same stuff from a hundred [00:04:00] years ago.You know, it's boring. You know, they want to learn money management. They want to learn about the economy. They want to learn about, you know, Bitcoin, all these things. It's interesting. The kids are like, wow, I want to learn this. Why can make money online? Yeah, of course you can.
