1
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:10.059
Mark Entrekin: Hello, everyone, and happy holidays. I hope you had a wonderful
2
00:00:10.190 --> 00:00:14.389
Mark Entrekin: holiday season. We are a few days coming up on
3
00:00:14.680 --> 00:00:17.990
Mark Entrekin: the 1st of 2, when 2,025
4
00:00:18.310 --> 00:00:24.779
Mark Entrekin: hope your holidays were great, your Christmas celebrations that you've had, and hopefully you've enjoyed your family.
5
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:31.890
Mark Entrekin: your friends, and all your acquaintances as we get ready to close on 2,024
6
00:00:32.310 --> 00:00:37.049
Mark Entrekin: again, I'm Mark Intrikin, as you can see on the page. That's all about
7
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:46.739
Mark Entrekin: achieving unity and ending the anger and the hate and the prejudice that we see all over the world. But it comes down to us on how we can end, that
8
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:59.640
Mark Entrekin: the achieving unity, the guide is on the page. If you want to, you can do the QR code in the bottom right to bring up the guide and the next few weeks. I hope to also put a podcast together that discusses the guide
9
00:01:00.110 --> 00:01:01.130
Mark Entrekin: entirely.
10
00:01:05.349 --> 00:01:10.740
Mark Entrekin: creating solutions, one reality at a time. That's us transform your world today.
11
00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:24.390
Mark Entrekin: It's about achieving unity through encouragement, inspiration, and inclusion. No one has ever created anything that has been
12
00:01:26.100 --> 00:01:30.169
Mark Entrekin: a project or a product or a service
13
00:01:30.910 --> 00:01:40.429
Mark Entrekin: alone that has built America, United States of America, North America, South America, Central America, around the world, that we haven't done it alone.
14
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.519
Mark Entrekin: So what we're gonna do is start making our world a better place today
15
00:01:45.650 --> 00:01:48.580
Mark Entrekin: and tomorrow we'll go into that more in a few minutes.
16
00:01:48.950 --> 00:01:53.060
Mark Entrekin: But with the ability for me to come and speak, and engagements
17
00:01:53.480 --> 00:02:04.830
Mark Entrekin: focusing on this keynote about achieving unity by harnessing the power, encouraging, inspiring, and including others. And I want to hear that over and over and over, and I hope you do also.
18
00:02:05.190 --> 00:02:09.590
Mark Entrekin: because we want to be creating high value solutions
19
00:02:09.860 --> 00:02:15.479
Mark Entrekin: through strong, agile experiences. Another facet of what I speak on.
20
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:23.260
Mark Entrekin: because, with my extensive experience as a senior business consultant and my agile certifications, as well as itel certifications.
21
00:02:23.630 --> 00:02:35.000
Mark Entrekin: I leverage the agile framework, using scrum and kanban to break down complex problems into minimal viable products or services, creating solutions that deliver the highest value.
22
00:02:35.270 --> 00:02:40.180
Mark Entrekin: Many things that we can do on our process through creating unity.
23
00:02:40.830 --> 00:02:48.600
Mark Entrekin: because we can truly quadruple our Roi, our return on investment by
24
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:56.880
Mark Entrekin: improving our Ei that are encouraging, inspiring, and including others.
25
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:02.699
Mark Entrekin: This is our achieving unity weekly podcast this is our last
26
00:03:03.050 --> 00:03:30.750

32
00:04:07.200 --> 00:04:12.670
Mark Entrekin: on, as I mentioned, using agile and lean outside of software.
33
00:04:12.860 --> 00:04:19.990
Mark Entrekin: most of the people that know the agile manifesto realize that it's based on software, we take it to another level.
34
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:26.020
Mark Entrekin: Agile is the ability to create and respond to changes and improvements.
35
00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:37.370
Mark Entrekin: It enables success in uncertain and possibly struggling environments by emphasizing adaptability through better collaboration and better communication.
36
00:04:37.470 --> 00:04:44.150
Mark Entrekin: Too many times we are making decisions based on culture
37
00:04:44.480 --> 00:04:49.770
Mark Entrekin: based on a prior learning. Sometimes we carry cultures forward that were learned. We were just
38
00:04:49.990 --> 00:04:53.290
Mark Entrekin: a few years old. 1st grade kindergarten.
39
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.260
Mark Entrekin: Those have got to be improved. We must start improving them.
40
00:04:58.590 --> 00:05:01.200
Mark Entrekin: I'll show you more about that as we go forward today.
41
00:05:01.820 --> 00:05:13.760
Mark Entrekin: lean is a methodology focused on maximizing value by minimizing waste and optimizing your processes through continuous improvement, effectiveness and efficiency.
42
00:05:14.180 --> 00:05:17.190
Mark Entrekin: Philosophies can be used in every discipline.
43
00:05:17.350 --> 00:05:20.799
Mark Entrekin: in every vertical, including our homes.
44
00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:26.069
Mark Entrekin: and I receive a lot of feedback that talks about well, a lot of my work is on
45
00:05:26.230 --> 00:05:33.000
Mark Entrekin: the culture side, on prejudices, in the families and in the social areas.
46
00:05:33.130 --> 00:05:37.680
Mark Entrekin: but they also impact us on the work in the office.
47
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:43.120
Mark Entrekin: So much of what I talk about is broad.
48
00:05:43.230 --> 00:05:45.659
Mark Entrekin: It's spread out in everything we do.
49
00:05:45.880 --> 00:05:51.709
Mark Entrekin: Personally, professionally, socially, there are solutions to what
50
00:05:51.860 --> 00:05:54.249
Mark Entrekin: problems that we are encountering today
51
00:05:54.370 --> 00:05:57.469
Mark Entrekin: because of lack of communication or
52
00:05:57.740 --> 00:06:02.330
Mark Entrekin: saying, you need somebody strong to help you when the strength is within us.
53
00:06:03.070 --> 00:06:10.809
Mark Entrekin: Because when you're looking for others to make decisions for you, family friends, your social circle.
54
00:06:11.250 --> 00:06:15.400
Mark Entrekin: Those are the wrong decisions need to be able to talk to
55
00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:20.159
Mark Entrekin: and with, communicate, collaborate the people.
56
00:06:20.710 --> 00:06:27.489
Mark Entrekin: They're important and your decision making. And that is where achieving unity comes from.
57
00:06:29.090 --> 00:06:32.219
Mark Entrekin: Connect with me. And I'll show you how to break all issues.
58
00:06:32.460 --> 00:06:38.970
Mark Entrekin: all products all services down from the most complex business projects.
59
00:06:39.330 --> 00:06:46.359
Mark Entrekin: including rocket science. I have worked for Boeing, Lockheed Martin. I have worked in the rockets. I've seen a rocket being built.
60
00:06:47.450 --> 00:06:48.789
Mark Entrekin: Seen. The liftoffs.
61
00:06:49.950 --> 00:06:55.469
Mark Entrekin: Those are complex, but they can also be breaking down, broken down to the steps.
62
00:06:55.990 --> 00:07:02.010
Mark Entrekin: sometimes as simple as training each other, or even our teenagers.
63
00:07:02.730 --> 00:07:06.310
Mark Entrekin: Think of a busy morning at family breakfast. You've got kids around the house.
64
00:07:07.210 --> 00:07:17.109
Mark Entrekin: Everyone has somewhere to go from work to school, you know the events or locations. Kids are going here. Kids are going there. Maybe they're in sports. Maybe they're in chess match
65
00:07:17.920 --> 00:07:21.380
Mark Entrekin: instead. Have the night before a family stand-up meeting each evening.
66
00:07:21.890 --> 00:07:25.820
Mark Entrekin: during which everyone shares their task for the next day.
67
00:07:26.500 --> 00:07:28.390
Mark Entrekin: Place sticky notes on the fridge.
68
00:07:29.020 --> 00:07:36.309
Mark Entrekin: put some sticky notes up there with the chores and the responsibilities, and each person, as they accomplish it, can move that sticky note from to do
69
00:07:36.630 --> 00:07:43.289
Mark Entrekin: to done, create a breakfast station with pre-portioned ingredients and a weekly meal plan.
70
00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:51.150
Mark Entrekin: When we minimize decision fatigue and reduce the time that we spent searching for items.
71
00:07:51.270 --> 00:07:57.580
Mark Entrekin: we help everyone participate in a smoother and more efficient process.
72
00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:06.120
Mark Entrekin: communicate, collaborate, collaborate, collaborate, communicate, and collaborate or forget
73
00:08:07.450 --> 00:08:18.829
Mark Entrekin: communication and collaboration are the keys that unlock the door to success in everything we do personally and professionally
74
00:08:20.990 --> 00:08:23.500
Mark Entrekin: achieving unity through encouragement.
75
00:08:23.760 --> 00:08:31.709
Mark Entrekin: inspiration, and inclusion. Too many times we think encouragement. Oh, that's that wimpy stuff. Other people do.
76
00:08:31.890 --> 00:08:34.330
Mark Entrekin: No encouraging people is powerful.
77
00:08:34.710 --> 00:08:42.710
Mark Entrekin: You can harness the power of encouraging others because of the depth of your own knowledge, your heart.
78
00:08:43.770 --> 00:08:48.620
Mark Entrekin: your emotion, your knowledge, your intelligence.
79
00:08:48.830 --> 00:08:57.360
Mark Entrekin: your ability. Our ability to encourage others helps us as a team helps us individually
80
00:08:58.090 --> 00:09:08.610
Mark Entrekin: and spreads the word that it is good to encourage others instead of being insecure, immature.
81
00:09:08.890 --> 00:09:13.689
Mark Entrekin: and sometimes even childish, by having to find wrong.
82
00:09:14.010 --> 00:09:20.079
Mark Entrekin: Instead of finding right, we can inspire others that inspiration
83
00:09:20.270 --> 00:09:23.620
Mark Entrekin: inspire others to do better, which makes us feel better.
84
00:09:23.880 --> 00:09:26.390
Mark Entrekin: no matter what our little circle might be.
85
00:09:26.500 --> 00:09:30.499
Mark Entrekin: We've heard the saying, we're most like the 5 people were around the most
86
00:09:31.030 --> 00:09:32.719
Mark Entrekin: you run your kids the most?
87
00:09:32.950 --> 00:09:34.870
Mark Entrekin: Are you around your spouse, the most
88
00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:37.500
Mark Entrekin: who are your friends that you're around the most?
89
00:09:37.750 --> 00:09:44.680
Mark Entrekin: They will inspire you to do what you're going to do good or bad.
90
00:09:45.800 --> 00:09:47.539
Mark Entrekin: and when you look at your friends.
91
00:09:48.350 --> 00:09:51.130
Mark Entrekin: who do you include? Who you not do not include?
92
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:55.279
Mark Entrekin: Where are your fears? Who do you question that. You see.
93
00:09:55.780 --> 00:09:58.839
Mark Entrekin: you question someone who may have more earrings than you do.
94
00:09:59.170 --> 00:10:02.619
Mark Entrekin: Maybe they have earrings in places that aren't there ears.
95
00:10:02.750 --> 00:10:04.120
Mark Entrekin: Maybe they smoke.
96
00:10:05.380 --> 00:10:06.910
Mark Entrekin: Maybe they have something else.
97
00:10:07.670 --> 00:10:14.329
Mark Entrekin: What is it that difference that comes out if we can start encouraging
98
00:10:14.560 --> 00:10:22.630
Mark Entrekin: in inspiring, including others, we can build so much more, whether 2 people, 4 people, 8 people.
99
00:10:22.920 --> 00:10:27.419
Mark Entrekin: 1632, 60. You can just go on to 6,400 people.
100
00:10:28.150 --> 00:10:29.309
Mark Entrekin: We can do it.
101
00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:32.380
Mark Entrekin: Encouragement can be the powerful force
102
00:10:32.540 --> 00:10:36.090
Mark Entrekin: that fuels the core of empowerment.
103
00:10:37.470 --> 00:10:42.209
Mark Entrekin: that powerful force that fuels the core of empowerment.
104
00:10:42.550 --> 00:10:48.990
Mark Entrekin: We empower each other, we encourage others to help establish and accomplish those tasks
105
00:10:51.970 --> 00:10:56.659
Mark Entrekin: we can inspire each other. To achieve every goal.
106
00:10:57.470 --> 00:11:06.529
Mark Entrekin: Unity is what makes us a successful team, include others, celebrate the victory with others.
107
00:11:06.920 --> 00:11:08.880
Mark Entrekin: and those victories can be personal
108
00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:15.299
Mark Entrekin: or they can be professional. As I mentioned, over and over and over, and I hope you will ask me more questions about this?
109
00:11:16.300 --> 00:11:22.070
Mark Entrekin: How does this work personally and professionally? What do we do at home that we take to work?
110
00:11:23.530 --> 00:11:32.550
Mark Entrekin: What do we do at work that we bring home together, we can truly overcome every challenge.
111
00:11:35.530 --> 00:11:37.660
Mark Entrekin: Are we facing relationship challenges?
112
00:11:37.850 --> 00:11:39.600
Mark Entrekin: How about parenting difficulties?
113
00:11:40.110 --> 00:11:41.080
Mark Entrekin: Are you
114
00:11:41.450 --> 00:11:49.239
Mark Entrekin: someone, you know? Are they struggling with relationship issues or parenting time issues as a divorced or divorcing family.
115
00:11:49.930 --> 00:11:51.220
Mark Entrekin: divorcing parent.
116
00:11:53.630 --> 00:12:02.410
Mark Entrekin: We can transform that frustration and to understanding by saying what the frustration.
117
00:12:02.680 --> 00:12:05.040
Mark Entrekin: where is the value in our actions?
118
00:12:05.580 --> 00:12:07.509
Mark Entrekin: Are we breaking things apart?
119
00:12:07.860 --> 00:12:12.209
Mark Entrekin: Are we listening to others? That's destroying the people that we are the closest to.
120
00:12:12.840 --> 00:12:20.929
Mark Entrekin: or others saying something should be a certain way, would you know, and your mind in your heart.
121
00:12:21.300 --> 00:12:22.590
Mark Entrekin: in your soul.
122
00:12:22.800 --> 00:12:24.640
Mark Entrekin: What you must do?
123
00:12:26.510 --> 00:12:31.910
Mark Entrekin: One of the things we know about is we must buy put value in our actions.
124
00:12:32.220 --> 00:12:35.630
Mark Entrekin: If there's no action that has value.
125
00:12:36.580 --> 00:12:38.299
Mark Entrekin: it must not be any action.
126
00:12:38.580 --> 00:12:43.629
Mark Entrekin: We're not working toward value. We're working toward a deficit, there's no reason for us
127
00:12:43.770 --> 00:12:50.560
Mark Entrekin: to do anything else. We must also realize that anger holds absolutely none of that value.
128
00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:51.860
Mark Entrekin: None.
129
00:12:52.200 --> 00:12:53.640
Mark Entrekin: What is anger.
130
00:12:54.080 --> 00:13:02.069
Mark Entrekin: Anger is just actions not gaining effective results. A NGER.
131
00:13:02.400 --> 00:13:05.690
Mark Entrekin: Actions not gaining effective results.
132
00:13:05.940 --> 00:13:10.359
Mark Entrekin: When has anyone that's been angry ever impressed you.
133
00:13:11.110 --> 00:13:23.850
Mark Entrekin: They may have a good point, but is anger required at communication at collaboration means so much what? The
134
00:13:24.130 --> 00:13:25.350
Mark Entrekin: frustration.
135
00:13:25.610 --> 00:13:27.410
Mark Entrekin: Yes, we get frustrated.
136
00:13:27.930 --> 00:13:29.320
Mark Entrekin: Let's control it.
137
00:13:29.550 --> 00:13:32.489
Mark Entrekin: Let's get away from that area that's causing that frustration.
138
00:13:32.820 --> 00:13:39.229
Mark Entrekin: Life happens from personal relationships, the parenting time. The prenuptial agreements
139
00:13:39.660 --> 00:13:46.380
Mark Entrekin: again anymore. Nuptials aren't required. Too many of us are not getting married, and that's okay. That's good in a lot of cases.
140
00:13:46.620 --> 00:13:51.380
Mark Entrekin: But the agreement to know what you're up against to what you can do
141
00:13:52.100 --> 00:13:54.400
Mark Entrekin: where the values are is so important
142
00:13:54.860 --> 00:14:00.389
Mark Entrekin: we can learn to embrace and enjoy every moment and every challenge together.
143
00:14:03.390 --> 00:14:07.020
Mark Entrekin: Here are the 2 QR codes. You get the website home on the left.
144
00:14:07.350 --> 00:14:14.280
Mark Entrekin: our website, contact page on the right. You don't need to contact me or know something or do something with me. Let's get together.
145
00:14:14.830 --> 00:14:16.779
Mark Entrekin: Contact me, ask questions.
146
00:14:16.970 --> 00:14:20.429
Mark Entrekin: Where's my next keynote speech? Where's my next course?

168
00:15:59.880 --> 00:16:05.869

169
00:16:06.400 --> 00:16:09.209
Mark Entrekin: How many people would love to have that kind of respect?
170
00:16:09.810 --> 00:16:11.419
Mark Entrekin: How many people love to help

00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:13.430
Mark Entrekin: your spouse take care of their coat off!
172
00:16:13.780 --> 00:16:15.940
Mark Entrekin: Men used to be very gentlemanly.
173
00:16:16.210 --> 00:16:18.280
Mark Entrekin: but has come a long way.
174
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:24.869
Mark Entrekin: and we've sometimes turned against it when it's still the greatest strength again.
175
00:16:26.290 --> 00:16:31.159
Mark Entrekin: or a man to be able to be respectful to the woman and the woman to be able to appreciate it.
176
00:16:31.380 --> 00:16:37.390
Mark Entrekin: But, man, you can't do it. Let's be empowered. Let's get back to us, come back on the 29th to talk to us with Jennifer Chell.

178
00:16:40.900 --> 00:16:48.039
Mark Entrekin: alright for today. We don't have a guest. I didn't want to get somebody out. I talked to a few people, but again the day after Christmas for a lot of people
179
00:16:48.150 --> 00:16:50.460
Mark Entrekin: not the best day for us to
180
00:16:51.280 --> 00:16:54.240
Mark Entrekin: be getting away from family, away from friends.
181
00:16:54.930 --> 00:17:00.360
Mark Entrekin: But let's share that time. But I wanted to continue with our podcast so you can listen to the recording

00:17:00.610 --> 00:17:04.530
Mark Entrekin: be able to come back. Ask me questions. Let me know if you have questions.
183
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:05.749
Mark Entrekin: The 1st one.
184
00:17:06.010 --> 00:17:08.359
Mark Entrekin: What is unity?
185
00:17:08.609 --> 00:17:10.720
Mark Entrekin: Unity? We hear it. A lot
186
00:17:11.380 --> 00:17:13.779
Mark Entrekin: goes back, maybe to the term earlier of
187
00:17:14.859 --> 00:17:19.239
Mark Entrekin: is that just 2 buddies? What what is unity is that a school
188
00:17:19.609 --> 00:17:22.350
Mark Entrekin: schoolroom? Is that a office room?
189
00:17:23.260 --> 00:17:31.420
Mark Entrekin: Unity is the valuable awareness of our hearts, our minds, our souls of us, coming together
190
00:17:31.830 --> 00:17:38.679
Mark Entrekin: as a benefit to all in saving time, money, and heartache.
191
00:17:39.570 --> 00:17:41.250
Mark Entrekin: Yes, it saves your time.
192
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:44.600
Mark Entrekin: How many of you have more than 24 HA day?
193
00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:50.360
Mark Entrekin: I know I've talked to people before that thought they did doesn't happen.
194
00:17:51.070 --> 00:17:54.159
Mark Entrekin: There's 24 HA day, 7 days a week.
195
00:17:54.950 --> 00:17:58.330
Mark Entrekin: 3 or 65 days a year, that's all we have.
196
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:00.719
Mark Entrekin: So let's benefit
197
00:18:00.940 --> 00:18:07.049
Mark Entrekin: from creating that and achieving that unity to save that time and make the best of it.
198
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:08.569
Mark Entrekin: How about money?
199
00:18:09.290 --> 00:18:11.060
Mark Entrekin: We can do better?
200
00:18:11.570 --> 00:18:18.110
Mark Entrekin: We can save more financially by teaming up by unity, not fighting, not finding something wrong.
201
00:18:18.400 --> 00:18:24.829
Mark Entrekin: We definitely need to work toward that unity, to save that money increase our value.
202
00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:32.060
Mark Entrekin: And then, of course, heartache too many times we're talking to others.
203
00:18:32.420 --> 00:18:42.459
Mark Entrekin: We're not talking to the one that matters too many times at heartache originates a lack of communication.
204
00:18:43.790 --> 00:18:46.610
Mark Entrekin: The desire or the culture.
205
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:52.280
Mark Entrekin: We talk to others instead of the person that's involved.
206
00:18:52.730 --> 00:18:54.190
Mark Entrekin: And you know what?
207
00:18:54.350 --> 00:18:59.519
Mark Entrekin: That's not just personally, that happens at the office as well.
208
00:18:59.900 --> 00:19:03.890
Mark Entrekin: It is not just in the relationships of our homes.
209
00:19:04.310 --> 00:19:08.879
Mark Entrekin: boyfriend, girlfriend, man, woman, mother, father, male, female.
210
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.339
Mark Entrekin: It's all around us in everything that we do.
211
00:19:14.150 --> 00:19:19.450
Mark Entrekin: The person that you question may have the right answer. But
212
00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:25.510
Mark Entrekin: are you afraid to ask that question because of the difference itself that you're questioning
213
00:19:26.250 --> 00:19:29.469
Mark Entrekin: deep question? Let's think about that a second.
214
00:19:30.260 --> 00:19:34.679
Mark Entrekin: What about that person you want to ask that question to? You're achieving unity?
215
00:19:35.250 --> 00:19:38.149
Mark Entrekin: Are you asking the question that needs to be asked.
216
00:19:38.840 --> 00:19:41.940
Mark Entrekin: Let's go home, your spouse.
217
00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:44.250
Mark Entrekin: Do you have a question?
218
00:19:44.690 --> 00:19:51.680
Mark Entrekin: Are you asking your friends, your family, your daughters, the children?
219
00:19:52.660 --> 00:19:54.370
Mark Entrekin: That's not where you need to go.
220
00:19:54.670 --> 00:19:58.039
Mark Entrekin: You need to go to the person that has the answer.
221
00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:00.930
Mark Entrekin: There may be a difference of some kind.
222
00:20:01.700 --> 00:20:08.030
Mark Entrekin: The home, of course, male, female mother, father, man, woman, is that the difference
223
00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:11.010
Mark Entrekin: stops you from asking the question.
224
00:20:12.580 --> 00:20:15.189
Mark Entrekin: what about at work? What about in the office?
225
00:20:18.390 --> 00:20:21.330
Mark Entrekin: Maybe they're a lighter tan color.
226
00:20:21.520 --> 00:20:23.960
Mark Entrekin: Maybe they're a little bit of darker brown color.
227
00:20:25.330 --> 00:20:27.330
Mark Entrekin: Maybe they have those earrings.
228
00:20:28.150 --> 00:20:29.660
Mark Entrekin: Maybe they smoke.
229
00:20:30.020 --> 00:20:36.190
Mark Entrekin: Maybe they have an income level difference. What is it that's causing us to hold back
230
00:20:36.860 --> 00:20:40.290
Mark Entrekin: on asking the question. That's important.
231
00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:43.240
Mark Entrekin: Do we need to know how to do something?
232
00:20:43.780 --> 00:20:47.379
Mark Entrekin: But we're afraid to ask, because then somebody somebody might think we're
233
00:20:47.810 --> 00:20:49.640
Mark Entrekin: not as smart as they are.
234
00:20:50.550 --> 00:20:54.060
Mark Entrekin: If they're a caring person, that doesn't matter.
235
00:20:54.700 --> 00:20:58.259
Mark Entrekin: If they're not a caring person, we need to know that
236
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:06.480
Mark Entrekin: we need to be able to ask those questions, those tough questions we must learn to ask what's important.
237
00:21:07.030 --> 00:21:14.650
Mark Entrekin: no matter who it is, no matter what their race creed, color, income, level age car they drive.
238
00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:19.379
Mark Entrekin: We need to ask, ask the right people.
239
00:21:21.110 --> 00:21:24.189
Mark Entrekin: when you look at differences, who is different to you?
240
00:21:25.060 --> 00:21:28.299
Mark Entrekin: This is really a good question, a very good question for spouses.
241
00:21:29.000 --> 00:21:31.880
Mark Entrekin: Yes, we're all different.
242
00:21:32.730 --> 00:21:39.669
Mark Entrekin: But as a spouse and as a relationship, isn't that the most caring team.
243
00:21:42.020 --> 00:21:45.729
Mark Entrekin: We can talk about the teams at work, and we need to talk to each other.
244
00:21:46.270 --> 00:21:50.560
Mark Entrekin: We need to be able to share across to the team. So we need to talk to that person that we feel is
245
00:21:52.170 --> 00:21:57.790
Mark Entrekin: smarter, not as smart, but may know the answer I need.
246
00:21:58.280 --> 00:22:01.070
Mark Entrekin: That difference has got to be pushed aside
247
00:22:01.660 --> 00:22:03.890
Mark Entrekin: that difference that might be there.
248
00:22:04.570 --> 00:22:06.650
Mark Entrekin: I want to stress over and over.
249
00:22:07.180 --> 00:22:09.939
Mark Entrekin: This is about personal relationships.
250
00:22:10.430 --> 00:22:15.020
Mark Entrekin: It's about professional relationships. It's about social relationships.
251
00:22:16.270 --> 00:22:18.729
Mark Entrekin: Hope you read my articles. It's on the blog.
252
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:22.980
Mark Entrekin: www.marketchricken.com forward slash blogs.
253
00:22:24.130 --> 00:22:26.720
Mark Entrekin: Read about some of the things that I'm talking about today
254
00:22:27.260 --> 00:22:30.089
Mark Entrekin: because we have to figure out what is the value
255
00:22:30.410 --> 00:22:33.429
Mark Entrekin: of the differences that we see on a day-to-day basis?
256
00:22:34.910 --> 00:22:36.500
Mark Entrekin: Who's different from you?
257
00:22:38.140 --> 00:22:39.730
Mark Entrekin: Is your best friend different.
258
00:22:40.290 --> 00:22:43.130
Mark Entrekin: Oh, no, I can talk to my best friend all the time.
259
00:22:43.590 --> 00:22:45.370
Mark Entrekin: Okay, sure, yes, you can.
260
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:49.919
Mark Entrekin: Are they different in a lot of ways they are.
261
00:22:51.450 --> 00:22:57.350
Mark Entrekin: Sometimes they're concepts, sometimes the things that we believe our culture.
262
00:22:57.950 --> 00:23:01.502
Mark Entrekin: Who taught me that little stories about my
263
00:23:02.250 --> 00:23:06.779
Mark Entrekin: mother, and she's the one that taught me about big, positive, and growing.
264
00:23:07.340 --> 00:23:12.050
Mark Entrekin: but my family's also told me about some traits I've picked up from her that hmm.
265
00:23:13.520 --> 00:23:20.499
Mark Entrekin: I didn't like that trait when she had it. Why do I have it? But we pick up on those traits that culture and we learn.
266
00:23:21.100 --> 00:23:24.460
Mark Entrekin: and we become somewhat the same.
267
00:23:25.180 --> 00:23:28.109
Mark Entrekin: not as much with a difference, but sometimes we come the same.
268
00:23:29.650 --> 00:23:36.369
Mark Entrekin: and then it comes down to the point that we are all the same, except where we choose to be different.
269
00:23:37.390 --> 00:23:40.800
Mark Entrekin: And in my speeches I'll talk about the blood types, our blood groups.
270
00:23:41.560 --> 00:23:50.329
Mark Entrekin: There's 4 blood types type, a type B type, A, B and type O, that's the 4 blood types.
271
00:23:50.570 --> 00:23:54.160
Mark Entrekin: blood groups where you call them. I call it our love circulation.
272
00:23:55.410 --> 00:23:59.089
Mark Entrekin: But no matter where you go, if you are in some other country
273
00:23:59.310 --> 00:24:07.499
Mark Entrekin: in North America, South America, Central America, China, Russia, Scandinavia, anywhere around the world.
274
00:24:07.620 --> 00:24:12.269
Mark Entrekin: If you're injured, or for some reason need to be in the hospital for any kind of surgery.
275
00:24:13.500 --> 00:24:18.790
Mark Entrekin: They're not going to call back home and say, Okay, where do you live? So we can find out what your neighbor's doing so. If you'll donate blood for us.
276
00:24:19.340 --> 00:24:25.829
Mark Entrekin: they don't call your friends and say, Hey, you're a friend. You're a best friend of this person. We need some blood. No, they don't say that.
277
00:24:26.350 --> 00:24:31.070
Mark Entrekin: because that A, BAB and O blood type is around the world
278
00:24:31.460 --> 00:24:33.870
Mark Entrekin: for the people who care enough to donate.
279
00:24:35.180 --> 00:24:38.820
Mark Entrekin: That's what's important. We do have differences in our culture.
280
00:24:40.180 --> 00:24:42.530
Mark Entrekin: do have differences in our ideas.
281
00:24:44.660 --> 00:24:46.169
Mark Entrekin: But we're all the same.
282
00:24:47.640 --> 00:24:53.850
Mark Entrekin: We have to put together our values to learn where those differences are, where they need to be
283
00:24:54.520 --> 00:24:56.060
Mark Entrekin: and where they shouldn't be.
284
00:24:57.160 --> 00:24:59.209
Mark Entrekin: That's what we have to think about first.st
285
00:25:01.670 --> 00:25:06.979
Mark Entrekin: And there's a talk about that, you say, well, around the world. Well, I don't like those people
286
00:25:07.350 --> 00:25:08.690
Mark Entrekin: who are those people.
287
00:25:10.480 --> 00:25:12.570
Mark Entrekin: Sometimes we deliver what's called hate.
288
00:25:13.630 --> 00:25:14.699
Mark Entrekin: What is hate.
289
00:25:15.810 --> 00:25:23.579
Mark Entrekin: Hate is nothing more than having accelerated troubles, expectations having accelerated troubled expectations.
290
00:25:24.070 --> 00:25:27.409
Mark Entrekin: Oh, we all hate it when it rains on our parade.
291
00:25:27.520 --> 00:25:29.179
Mark Entrekin: Are we expecting it to rain.
292
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:30.760
Mark Entrekin: Bring an umbrella.
293
00:25:31.010 --> 00:25:34.559
Mark Entrekin: Those troubled expectations are going to infect our attitude.
294
00:25:34.890 --> 00:25:37.119
Mark Entrekin: In fact, all the things that we do.
295
00:25:37.240 --> 00:25:39.020
Mark Entrekin: It's gonna turn it wrong.
296
00:25:40.160 --> 00:25:42.630
Mark Entrekin: Are we looking for wrong? Are we looking for right?
297
00:25:43.180 --> 00:25:52.959
Mark Entrekin: What is that weather report? Say, I know I've talked to a good friend of mine, and we look at one weather report, another weather report, and they could be 5 degrees difference.
298
00:25:53.270 --> 00:25:56.409
Mark Entrekin: So I said, I'm going to use this weather report because I like that temperature better.
299
00:25:57.640 --> 00:26:04.679
Mark Entrekin: That's put fun into it. Let's don't have those accelerated, troubled expectations. Let's have fun with what comes up.
300
00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:06.980
Mark Entrekin: Hate it when I'm out of milk.
301
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.429
Mark Entrekin: Well, let's do other things so that I don't run out of milk.
302
00:26:11.660 --> 00:26:15.200
Mark Entrekin: Let's do what we can, so I don't have that
303
00:26:15.700 --> 00:26:19.350
Mark Entrekin: rain for the praise. Well, how do I do that? Well, I have help.
304
00:26:20.190 --> 00:26:26.649
Mark Entrekin: Wait a minute. You have help. Well, I have excellent leadership plans. HELP.
305
00:26:27.160 --> 00:26:32.960

306
00:26:33.330 --> 00:26:38.120
Mark Entrekin: having excellent leadership plans to remember. That's exactly what we need.
307
00:26:39.310 --> 00:26:44.760
Mark Entrekin: Let's get out of the hate and turn to the help this whole process
308
00:26:45.040 --> 00:26:48.339
Mark Entrekin: comes to, how we are achieving unity
309
00:26:48.690 --> 00:26:58.270
Mark Entrekin: by harnessing the power of encouraging, inspiring, and including each other personally and professionally by being
310
00:26:58.390 --> 00:27:05.660
Mark Entrekin: the person that turns to having excellent leadership plans that help we can.
311
00:27:06.090 --> 00:27:11.719
Mark Entrekin: We can create the values that earn for each of us that bill for each of us.
312
00:27:13.670 --> 00:27:15.860
Mark Entrekin: This is the help we all need.
313
00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:18.279
Mark Entrekin: as how we can help each other
314
00:27:18.470 --> 00:27:31.370
Mark Entrekin: by helping others build excellent leadership plans happens at home helps at home helps at the office help socially.
315
00:27:31.630 --> 00:27:41.090
Mark Entrekin: What we can do is what we can build relationships that are personal relationships that are business
316
00:27:41.910 --> 00:27:44.170
Mark Entrekin: to any kind of relationships and communication.
317
00:27:44.290 --> 00:27:51.130
Mark Entrekin: What is the excellent leadership plan that we need to build a better tomorrow?
318
00:27:52.580 --> 00:27:58.090
Mark Entrekin: Well, sometimes our plans don't work. Sometimes those excellent leadership plans didn't work out. Right?
319
00:27:58.760 --> 00:28:00.370
Mark Entrekin: What are we gonna do get angry?
320
00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:06.740
Mark Entrekin: Yeah, what's anger angers or actions not gaining effective results.
321
00:28:06.950 --> 00:28:09.509
Mark Entrekin: A, NGER.
322
00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:11.689
Mark Entrekin: I would love to bring this to you.
323
00:28:11.880 --> 00:28:20.079
Mark Entrekin: A family individually small office team, large office team, corporation enterprise.
324
00:28:20.790 --> 00:28:24.819
Mark Entrekin: Let's come together and talk about these things. What is anger?
325
00:28:24.970 --> 00:28:26.270
Mark Entrekin: We see it at work.
326
00:28:27.040 --> 00:28:36.069
Mark Entrekin: Maybe it comes to hate. We hated that rain on the parade or coming to work, and there's snow on the ground. Somebody pulled in front of me. I had that road rage.
327
00:28:39.320 --> 00:28:42.610
Mark Entrekin: Where is the value? In that anger?
328
00:28:42.850 --> 00:28:47.289
Mark Entrekin: We just carry it to work with us, or maybe we're going home. We carry it home with us.
329
00:28:47.870 --> 00:28:49.480
Mark Entrekin: Where is that value?
330
00:28:50.290 --> 00:28:53.400
Mark Entrekin: Where is the value? In anger? There is none.
331
00:28:53.820 --> 00:28:57.779
Mark Entrekin: because those actions are not gaining effective results.
332
00:28:58.360 --> 00:29:02.559
Mark Entrekin: Have you ever seen somebody get angry? And you thought, Oh, wow! That's the way I want to be.
333
00:29:03.370 --> 00:29:04.190
Mark Entrekin: No
334
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:15.590
Mark Entrekin: anger happens. I'm not saying it doesn't. I'm I'm probably the king, Queen person call it generic in the questions there. I'm good at anger.
335
00:29:16.250 --> 00:29:18.359
Mark Entrekin: but also good at controlling my anger
336
00:29:18.670 --> 00:29:21.389
Mark Entrekin: cause I know when I'm angry my voice goes up.
337
00:29:22.140 --> 00:29:26.120
Mark Entrekin: and I know that I need to calm down or get away.
338
00:29:27.890 --> 00:29:33.750
Mark Entrekin: That's what has to happen when things aren't working, when you get that frustration, when you have that hate.
339
00:29:34.020 --> 00:29:36.019
Mark Entrekin: If you can't build a leadership plan.
340
00:29:36.790 --> 00:29:46.320
Mark Entrekin: your anger is not helping because it's just actions, not gaining effective results. Remember, this is good information for us to carry personally and professionally.
341
00:29:46.950 --> 00:29:49.450
Mark Entrekin: When was the last time you were you had anger.
342
00:29:50.460 --> 00:29:53.129
Mark Entrekin: Did it show you? Did it prove any value?
343
00:29:53.320 --> 00:29:55.339
Mark Entrekin: Sure, somebody might have acted different.
344
00:29:55.870 --> 00:30:00.469
Mark Entrekin: But did they take it to their heart which you had anger about what you were angry about.
345
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:02.159
Mark Entrekin: Not likely.
346
00:30:03.210 --> 00:30:05.760
Mark Entrekin: Instead, we need to do.
347
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:10.900
Mark Entrekin: Just be calm, calm. What come
348
00:30:11.320 --> 00:30:15.020
Mark Entrekin: we need to be canceling, anger, leading motivation.
349
00:30:15.340 --> 00:30:21.950
Mark Entrekin: casting, anger leads motivation. Casting anger leads, mastering, mastering ourselves.
350
00:30:22.870 --> 00:30:24.250
Mark Entrekin: We've got to be calm.
351
00:30:25.900 --> 00:30:30.470
Mark Entrekin: Calm. CALM. Canceling. Anger leads motivation.
352
00:30:31.280 --> 00:30:34.500
Mark Entrekin: If you can cancel your anger, lead motivation. You'll be a master.
353
00:30:34.930 --> 00:30:36.919
Mark Entrekin: because that's what we all want to be.
354
00:30:37.280 --> 00:30:38.790
Mark Entrekin: It's about being calm.
355
00:30:39.260 --> 00:30:44.359
Mark Entrekin: It's about taking that anger or that hate and being calm.
356
00:30:44.930 --> 00:30:48.680
Mark Entrekin: because if we can cancel it, the anger comes.
357
00:30:51.020 --> 00:30:52.600
Mark Entrekin: you can look for a different direction.
358
00:30:53.620 --> 00:30:58.180
Mark Entrekin: What do they say? That best road is the road less traveled.
359
00:30:59.910 --> 00:31:02.700
Mark Entrekin: Let's make sure that we know they're the best road to take
360
00:31:02.850 --> 00:31:07.319
Mark Entrekin: may be the less traveled, but it's the one we need to take, and that's that road
361
00:31:07.520 --> 00:31:09.010
Mark Entrekin: that cancels anger.
362
00:31:10.750 --> 00:31:15.239
Mark Entrekin: Sometimes you don't get along with. People need to find out why we need to talk about it.
363
00:31:15.350 --> 00:31:18.030
Mark Entrekin: What's causing anger.
364
00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:20.619
Mark Entrekin: What's causing that to happen.
365
00:31:21.060 --> 00:31:26.720
Mark Entrekin: We need to work on that and be canceling that anger, leading motivation.
366
00:31:26.830 --> 00:31:29.629
Mark Entrekin: we can master it. We can be calm.
367
00:31:30.470 --> 00:31:33.079
Mark Entrekin: This is what we need to be what we need to do
368
00:31:33.330 --> 00:31:39.329
Mark Entrekin: again. This is the end of 2024, when this is being recorded December 26,
369
00:31:39.560 --> 00:31:43.639
Mark Entrekin: day after Christmas for most people. It's Boxing Day for some people
370
00:31:44.740 --> 00:31:48.560
Mark Entrekin: coming to end of 2024. What are we going to do in 2025.
371
00:31:49.260 --> 00:31:54.819
Mark Entrekin: What do we want? 2520, 25 to be like, can it be calm?
372
00:31:55.130 --> 00:31:58.799
Mark Entrekin: Can we cancel the anger this year? Lead the motivation?
373
00:31:59.040 --> 00:32:00.840
Mark Entrekin: I can't motivate you.
374
00:32:01.510 --> 00:32:04.349
Mark Entrekin: I hope I can give you the words to help you motivate yourself.
375
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:09.389
Mark Entrekin: This is not for me to do. It's not for you to do for others.
376
00:32:09.690 --> 00:32:11.750
Mark Entrekin: but what we all do for ourselves.
377
00:32:12.010 --> 00:32:14.370
Mark Entrekin: And that's where calm comes in.
378
00:32:15.130 --> 00:32:19.129
Mark Entrekin: It's our exercise, that's what we do.
379
00:32:19.510 --> 00:32:22.459
Mark Entrekin: It's what we can master.
380
00:32:24.860 --> 00:32:26.380
Mark Entrekin: Oh, hmm!
381
00:32:26.880 --> 00:32:29.960
Mark Entrekin: In this world today. There's what about prejudice?
382
00:32:30.780 --> 00:32:32.280
Mark Entrekin: What is prejudice?
383
00:32:32.740 --> 00:32:37.150
Mark Entrekin: I read that there's over 43 identified prejudices.
384
00:32:37.710 --> 00:32:39.670
Mark Entrekin: We don't have time to go through them today.
385
00:32:39.790 --> 00:32:51.000
Mark Entrekin: But we do know prejudice could be anything from race creed, color, gender age, income levels, tattoos, no tattoos.
386
00:32:51.660 --> 00:33:00.650
Mark Entrekin: earrings, no earrings, smokes, doesn't smoke. Yes, those are all prejudices.
387
00:33:01.190 --> 00:33:04.009
Mark Entrekin: we think. Well, race is the prejudice.
388
00:33:04.360 --> 00:33:12.979
Mark Entrekin: and that is a major prejudice. You're right, but yet race is only a social construct.
389
00:33:13.710 --> 00:33:14.520
Mark Entrekin: That's right.
390
00:33:15.080 --> 00:33:19.300
Mark Entrekin: Go to your doctor. Say, run a DNA test for me, and tell me what my race is.
391
00:33:21.030 --> 00:33:22.570
Mark Entrekin: You'll be there a while.
392
00:33:23.760 --> 00:33:32.409
Mark Entrekin: There is no medical scientific construct a race.
393
00:33:32.610 --> 00:33:36.150
Mark Entrekin: Yes, they can do statistics
394
00:33:36.550 --> 00:33:42.979
Mark Entrekin: and find that there's more people in a certain area of town, more people at certain income level
395
00:33:43.260 --> 00:33:48.790
Mark Entrekin: that may relate to more people of a certain skin color
396
00:33:49.450 --> 00:33:53.630
Mark Entrekin: again. How many times have you ever seen somebody that was truly white?
397
00:33:54.230 --> 00:33:58.410
Mark Entrekin: Take a piece of white paper, you see white paper.
398
00:33:58.520 --> 00:34:02.220
Mark Entrekin: If you see this on the screen or not, this is a notepad, it's white.
399
00:34:02.740 --> 00:34:04.020
Mark Entrekin: I'm not white.
400
00:34:05.330 --> 00:34:06.359
Mark Entrekin: How about black?
401
00:34:07.040 --> 00:34:09.939
Mark Entrekin: There are some people that are darker skinned than others.
402
00:34:10.060 --> 00:34:12.930
Mark Entrekin: some are a little bit more brown, some a little more tan.
403
00:34:13.250 --> 00:34:17.310
Mark Entrekin: I spent the winter in Mexico. I was much more tan, much browner.
404
00:34:18.520 --> 00:34:22.380
Mark Entrekin: But again, it's a social construct, we define it.
405
00:34:22.790 --> 00:34:27.290
Mark Entrekin: Art still defensive end for the Kansas city chiefs won many awards
406
00:34:27.770 --> 00:34:30.419
Mark Entrekin: told me the best ones. I was talking about this with him.
407
00:34:30.630 --> 00:34:32.659
Mark Entrekin: He told me, he said, what he does.
408
00:34:33.130 --> 00:34:37.049
Mark Entrekin: but he fills out a form, and it asked for race.
409
00:34:37.449 --> 00:34:42.900
Mark Entrekin: It has the usual red, yellow, black, brown, white, or other.
410
00:34:43.600 --> 00:34:45.939
Mark Entrekin: He says he always checks other.
411
00:34:46.260 --> 00:34:49.969
Mark Entrekin: and then there's a little blank spot right there to fill in what is other.
412
00:34:50.570 --> 00:34:57.020
Mark Entrekin: he said. He puts in human human race.
413
00:34:57.810 --> 00:35:06.430
Mark Entrekin: That's where we all need to be. We need to eliminate prejudice. Why, well, what prejudice has meant for so long, and what it means for so many today.
414
00:35:07.350 --> 00:35:08.821
Mark Entrekin: Prejudice PREJ. UTIC. E.
415
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:21.740
Mark Entrekin: Poor reactions echoing jealousy and undermined delivery of an immature and cruel ego.
416
00:35:21.930 --> 00:35:26.630
Mark Entrekin: PREJ. UDIC. E. Poor reactions
417
00:35:26.740 --> 00:35:33.270
Mark Entrekin: echoing jealousy, undermined delivery, immature, cruel ego.
418
00:35:33.870 --> 00:35:38.530
Mark Entrekin: That's what prejudice is, why would anybody be proud of that?
419
00:35:39.070 --> 00:35:42.980
Mark Entrekin: Why would anybody say I don't like that person? Because
420
00:35:45.230 --> 00:35:47.079
Mark Entrekin: does that take us back to the hate?
421
00:35:47.510 --> 00:35:49.620
Mark Entrekin: Does that take us back to the anger.
422
00:35:51.070 --> 00:35:52.100
Mark Entrekin: Hate?
423
00:35:52.990 --> 00:35:58.570
Mark Entrekin: What, again, is hate having accelerated troubled
424
00:36:00.990 --> 00:36:05.760
Mark Entrekin: expectations? Sorry? Yeah, I have it up a while. I read it every day
425
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:13.159
Mark Entrekin: having accelerated trouble, expectations that's a hate, and the hate can cause prejudice because we have troubled expectations.
426
00:36:14.890 --> 00:36:22.399
Mark Entrekin: Does that gain us any value? Didn't we talk about value earlier. Can we talk about it again and again and again? Where is the value?
427
00:36:22.650 --> 00:36:25.399
Mark Entrekin: Back to W. Go back to? Where is the value.com.
428
00:36:27.670 --> 00:36:30.379
Mark Entrekin: There is no value in that prejudice today.
429
00:36:31.050 --> 00:36:39.630
Mark Entrekin: Prejudice's poor reactions echoing jealousy, undermine delivery of an immature and cruel ego. Anytime we're prejudiced.
430
00:36:39.890 --> 00:36:41.439
Mark Entrekin: Well, what can it be tomorrow?
431
00:36:41.600 --> 00:36:43.210
Mark Entrekin: Can we change prejudice?
432
00:36:43.950 --> 00:36:45.979
Mark Entrekin: We only change it, we can improve it.
433
00:36:46.580 --> 00:36:49.569
Mark Entrekin: Change is short term. Improve is long term. Let's improve it
434
00:36:49.870 --> 00:36:58.099
Mark Entrekin: tomorrow. Let's take prejudice. PRHA, UDIC, E. Positive react showings, reactions.

Mark Entrekin: positive reactions, echoing justice, understanding, delivered inclusion, creating excellence. PREJ. UDIC. E. We could do it.
437
00:37:21.450 --> 00:37:23.460

438
00:37:26.110 --> 00:37:31.440
Mark Entrekin: Leadership plans help having excellent leadership plans.
439
00:37:31.780 --> 00:37:34.489

440
00:37:34.860 --> 00:37:42.400

00:38:03.970 --> 00:38:05.239
Mark Entrekin: It's an action.
444
00:38:06.350 --> 00:38:07.840
Mark Entrekin: It's not just a thought.
445
00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:11.900
Mark Entrekin: It's what we do day to day.
446
00:38:12.330 --> 00:38:17.640
Mark Entrekin: It's how we make this world a better place, each and every one of us, you and me.
447
00:38:18.200 --> 00:38:19.240
Mark Entrekin: all of us.
448
00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:22.890
Mark Entrekin: We can do it by working together in our process.
449
00:38:24.750 --> 00:38:26.719
Mark Entrekin: We can do it through an opportunity.
450
00:38:27.810 --> 00:38:30.390
Mark Entrekin: What is opportunity?
451
00:38:30.620 --> 00:38:38.019
Mark Entrekin: A. PPOR. T. Capital, UNIT. Y. Unity. It's all about achieving unity.
452
00:38:39.650 --> 00:38:48.960
Mark Entrekin: It's achieved by encouraging, inspiring, and including others personally and professionally, we can do it.
453
00:38:49.240 --> 00:38:55.940
Mark Entrekin: We can do it together, can do about what we want to do each and every day, and anger
454
00:38:56.120 --> 00:39:05.000
Mark Entrekin: and hate extinguish, prejudiced, and we can do that each and every day that we go through.
455
00:39:05.130 --> 00:39:15.190
Mark Entrekin: As we talk about that we can do it together, working together, building together and sharing together.
456
00:39:15.610 --> 00:39:17.319
Mark Entrekin: Excuse me, let me bring my screen over
457
00:39:28.240 --> 00:39:33.110
Mark Entrekin: apologizes running with multiple screens. It's challenging at time.
458
00:39:33.240 --> 00:39:35.250
Mark Entrekin: but it's definitely worth it overall.
459
00:39:42.430 --> 00:39:44.580
Mark Entrekin: So I'm checking for chats across here.
460
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:53.530
Mark Entrekin: What we want to do is end everything to do with hate.
461
00:39:53.800 --> 00:39:57.660
Mark Entrekin: anger, and prejudice personally and professionally.
462
00:39:58.060 --> 00:39:59.419
Mark Entrekin: How do we do that?
463
00:39:59.560 --> 00:40:02.719
Mark Entrekin: There's many ways that I can come into your company.
464
00:40:03.140 --> 00:40:04.929
Mark Entrekin: talk with you and your family.
465
00:40:05.630 --> 00:40:09.479
Mark Entrekin: Is it difficult? Absolutely. I know I have troubles with it myself.
466
00:40:10.180 --> 00:40:15.800
Mark Entrekin: It's not about being easy. I don't have the acronym for easy. It's not one of those yet.
467
00:40:16.010 --> 00:40:18.970
Mark Entrekin: Just not. There's an acronym for more than 24 h in a day.
468
00:40:20.310 --> 00:40:22.350
Mark Entrekin: but it's about us working together.
469
00:40:22.560 --> 00:40:25.990
Mark Entrekin: building together, stop listening to others.
470
00:40:26.350 --> 00:40:31.379
Mark Entrekin: How many times have we listened to others that they told us we should do something.
471
00:40:32.090 --> 00:40:33.820
Mark Entrekin: and it blows up in our face.
472
00:40:33.970 --> 00:40:35.989
Mark Entrekin: Could we have some good ideas? Sure.
473
00:40:36.620 --> 00:40:38.040
Mark Entrekin: But we think I'm through.
474
00:40:38.280 --> 00:40:41.229
Mark Entrekin: Is there value? Where is the value.com.
475
00:40:42.010 --> 00:40:45.540
Mark Entrekin: That's what we need to go. That's where we need to be. That's what we must be.
476
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:49.790
Mark Entrekin: We must think about. Where is the value for each and every one of us.
477
00:40:50.850 --> 00:40:52.410
Mark Entrekin: How do we make it valuable
478
00:40:52.660 --> 00:40:56.910
Mark Entrekin: and go back to everything we've talked about so far today and hate
479
00:41:00.720 --> 00:41:05.530
Mark Entrekin: that anger, that prejudice.
480
00:41:07.140 --> 00:41:15.249
Mark Entrekin: Everything we do that brings us down to that opportunity. Maybe it brings us up to that opportunity for a better community.
481
00:41:16.870 --> 00:41:21.609
Mark Entrekin: personally, professionally, is what we all need. It's what we all must have.
482
00:41:21.860 --> 00:41:26.069
Mark Entrekin: It's what we build into a better tomorrow.
483
00:41:26.650 --> 00:41:28.809
Mark Entrekin: What about at your company or corporation?
484
00:41:28.930 --> 00:41:30.290
Mark Entrekin: What's it like? There?
485
00:41:30.540 --> 00:41:38.319
Mark Entrekin: How about your CEO CIO Cfo. All the C-suite chief information officer, chief financial officer, chief technology officer.
486
00:41:38.890 --> 00:41:42.620
Mark Entrekin: I'm a chief transformational officer, CTO,
487
00:41:42.800 --> 00:41:47.949
Mark Entrekin: Chief transformational officer because I believe, and I share transformation.
488
00:41:48.100 --> 00:41:50.209
Mark Entrekin: and that's what we all must do.
489
00:41:50.340 --> 00:41:54.079
Mark Entrekin: But at your office, who is your transformational officer
490
00:41:54.490 --> 00:42:03.290
Mark Entrekin: who is going through the things that we, you and me us talk about today, we must transform.
491
00:42:03.460 --> 00:42:09.600
Mark Entrekin: But where we were yesterday, the cultures that we come through today, each and every one of us
492
00:42:10.310 --> 00:42:13.160
Mark Entrekin: to take that information and take it to the next level.
493
00:42:13.310 --> 00:42:15.310
Mark Entrekin: How many people at your office.
494
00:42:15.540 --> 00:42:19.020
Mark Entrekin: how many people at your home are finding wrong?
495
00:42:21.751 --> 00:42:23.308
Mark Entrekin: Think, what does that mean?
496
00:42:24.100 --> 00:42:27.309
Mark Entrekin: They come home and they've had a bad day.
497
00:42:27.590 --> 00:42:33.530
Mark Entrekin: I use this story. One of my articles person comes home from work.
498
00:42:34.110 --> 00:42:38.969
Mark Entrekin: They were told to do this told to do that. Then, when they did, it didn't work out right because something else went wrong.
499
00:42:39.270 --> 00:42:41.459
Mark Entrekin: Somebody told them this that wasn't right.
500
00:42:42.600 --> 00:42:46.270
Mark Entrekin: They have to work overtime. They've got to go home. They gotta buy and pick up the kids from school.
501
00:42:46.780 --> 00:42:48.270
Mark Entrekin: Traffic's terrible.
502
00:42:49.150 --> 00:42:55.540
Mark Entrekin: They go home. They get in the door. Kids rush through. But then there's this little puppy comes to see you.
503
00:42:55.780 --> 00:43:03.870
Mark Entrekin: I'll just come there bouncing on your legs. Yeah, you want to get the dog. Get that dog away. I gave up my coat. I got my briefcase down. I've got this. I've got that.
504
00:43:04.040 --> 00:43:05.919
Mark Entrekin: So what do you do? You kick the dog.
505
00:43:07.950 --> 00:43:09.960
Mark Entrekin: you would do that. I would do that.
506
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:11.210
Mark Entrekin: People do.
507
00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:13.479
Mark Entrekin: The dog's not the problem.
508
00:43:15.170 --> 00:43:18.810
Mark Entrekin: It's our controlling ourselves from managing
509
00:43:18.970 --> 00:43:29.229
Mark Entrekin: that hate, that anger, that prejudice, managing our situation, managing us, being calm because we can be calm.
510
00:43:30.030 --> 00:43:37.490
Mark Entrekin: Canceling anger leads motivation, canceling, anger leads mastering.
511
00:43:38.090 --> 00:43:40.500
Mark Entrekin: That's what we can do in our processes
512
00:43:40.860 --> 00:43:44.259
Mark Entrekin: what we can do each and every day to take us to the next level.
513
00:43:44.390 --> 00:43:47.309
Mark Entrekin: Again, this is my last podcast for 2024.
514
00:43:47.730 --> 00:43:49.779
Mark Entrekin: That's why I wanted to kind of close with this
515
00:43:50.380 --> 00:43:55.869
Mark Entrekin: and talk about how we can work together through 2025
516
00:43:56.800 --> 00:44:00.319
Mark Entrekin: alive to strive 2025.
517
00:44:00.680 --> 00:44:05.419
Mark Entrekin: That's what we can do. And that's what we can be. That's what we must do. That's what we must be.
518
00:44:05.690 --> 00:44:10.490
Mark Entrekin: So what do we do in this to build that better world
519
00:44:10.630 --> 00:44:17.009
Mark Entrekin: to see what we can do for each other as we are achieving unity, each and every one of us
520
00:44:17.660 --> 00:44:18.720
Mark Entrekin: together.
521
00:44:21.020 --> 00:44:22.460
Mark Entrekin: That's what we must do.
522
00:44:23.380 --> 00:44:34.299
Mark Entrekin: We've got to build and grow and achieve processes that we understand the processes that we need.
523
00:44:35.130 --> 00:44:38.370
Mark Entrekin: because that's where we go, each and every one of us
524
00:44:38.860 --> 00:44:42.820
Mark Entrekin: to build a better life, to grow more, to do more.
525
00:44:43.850 --> 00:44:45.589
Mark Entrekin: to share in what we do.
526
00:44:46.270 --> 00:44:49.839
Mark Entrekin: because it is us that makes that difference.
527
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:53.600
Mark Entrekin: It is us that makes the world a better place.
528
00:44:53.810 --> 00:44:55.049
Mark Entrekin: Whether we're at home.
529
00:44:55.310 --> 00:44:58.090
Mark Entrekin: We're at work wherever we might be.
530
00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:00.810
Mark Entrekin: It's up to us to build
531
00:45:01.790 --> 00:45:04.530
Mark Entrekin: that difference to make it more unique.
532
00:45:04.870 --> 00:45:12.530
Mark Entrekin: Make it helpful in what we do each and every time, because that's our processes as our ability.
533
00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:17.389
Mark Entrekin: we must grow it forward each and every time that we do what we do.
534
00:45:18.900 --> 00:45:20.970
Mark Entrekin: So I had a screen set up here, too.
535
00:45:21.400 --> 00:45:23.389
Mark Entrekin: working. It's not coming up for me
536
00:45:27.010 --> 00:45:29.229
Mark Entrekin: as I wanted to talk a little bit more about
537
00:45:29.340 --> 00:45:32.330
Mark Entrekin: how we do what we do with what we do.
538
00:45:32.940 --> 00:45:36.759
Mark Entrekin: And I think that our ability to understand
539
00:45:37.830 --> 00:45:49.980
Mark Entrekin: what we're doing each and every day, ending that anger, ending, the hate, eliminating that prejudice.
540
00:45:50.140 --> 00:45:52.329
Mark Entrekin: That's where we go. That's where we grow.
541
00:45:53.410 --> 00:46:02.640
Mark Entrekin: That's how we make our world, a better place, achieving that unity through that power of harnessing, that power.
542
00:46:03.110 --> 00:46:07.450
Mark Entrekin: encouraging, inspiring, and including others.
543
00:46:07.840 --> 00:46:09.359
Mark Entrekin: Because that is where we go.
544
00:46:09.620 --> 00:46:14.840
Mark Entrekin: That is where we grow in everything that we do. It's up to us.
545
00:46:15.950 --> 00:46:19.110
Mark Entrekin: We must work together to make it happen.
546
00:46:19.740 --> 00:46:22.490
Mark Entrekin: That's what we do each and every day.
547
00:46:26.590 --> 00:46:29.341
Mark Entrekin: I'm sorry I lost my screen.
548
00:46:30.510 --> 00:46:33.709
Mark Entrekin: I have some more things to talk about here about our call to action.
549
00:46:34.240 --> 00:46:36.690
Mark Entrekin: because a call to action is so important.
550
00:46:37.690 --> 00:46:40.469
Mark Entrekin: What we do what we build, how we grow.
551
00:46:40.660 --> 00:46:46.380
Mark Entrekin: It is a process that we must know to use to build.
552
00:46:49.680 --> 00:46:53.449
Mark Entrekin: It's for us to grow in, the, in, the things that we do every day.
553
00:46:53.750 --> 00:46:55.399
Mark Entrekin: I know it seems hard.
554
00:46:55.620 --> 00:46:57.590
Mark Entrekin: But yeah, sometimes it seems easy.
555
00:46:59.490 --> 00:47:01.829
Mark Entrekin: But our growth is important.
556
00:47:04.170 --> 00:47:08.339
Mark Entrekin: Of course, working on these computers, I want to apologize is also important.
557
00:47:09.000 --> 00:47:16.980
Mark Entrekin: And here we go. I've got it. Where does the computer hide this stuff? Sometimes I don't know but
558
00:47:17.120 --> 00:47:21.840
Mark Entrekin: what we can do. Each and every one of us is empowering that call to action.
559
00:47:23.390 --> 00:47:27.340
Mark Entrekin: What are we going to do? Where are we going to grow? It's a call to action.
560
00:47:27.740 --> 00:47:37.200
Mark Entrekin: So what we can do as we grow forward as we build forward in the processes, we'll save this real quick and bring into a word document and drag it over.
561
00:47:38.095 --> 00:47:44.430
Mark Entrekin: Isn't this embarrassing? I could be mad right now. I could be angry. Oh, this computer makes me so mad, and it does.
562
00:47:45.850 --> 00:47:51.289
Mark Entrekin: A very close friend of mine used to laugh at me because I would be so angry working and talking to Microsoft.
563
00:47:52.035 --> 00:47:56.270
Mark Entrekin: Here's how the software is supposed to work. It doesn't work.
564
00:47:57.270 --> 00:47:58.470
Mark Entrekin: Why not?
565
00:47:59.070 --> 00:48:00.870
Mark Entrekin: But it was funny. Yeah.
566
00:48:01.110 --> 00:48:02.920
Mark Entrekin: Glad she shared those things with me.
567
00:48:03.600 --> 00:48:06.050
Mark Entrekin: But what we must do
568
00:48:06.260 --> 00:48:14.140
Mark Entrekin: is not be angry. Control that anger, because what good would it have done for me to get angry at that computer?
569
00:48:14.620 --> 00:48:18.829
Mark Entrekin: Would there have been any value? No, I would look foolish on the screen, wouldn't I?
570
00:48:19.250 --> 00:48:25.200
Mark Entrekin: And it is frustrating sometimes. You just can't do that. What the frustration.
571
00:48:26.440 --> 00:48:30.919
Mark Entrekin: personally and professionally let me come talk to you.
572
00:48:31.310 --> 00:48:35.210
Mark Entrekin: Let's get together on a screen like this, a zoom session.
573
00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:36.740
Mark Entrekin: We can do
574
00:48:37.870 --> 00:48:45.870
Mark Entrekin: Microsoft. We can do so many different zoom sessions or video video sessions. But let's reach the end to it. Let's start reaching for the value.
575
00:48:46.380 --> 00:48:51.870
Mark Entrekin: Call me talk to me 3 0. 3 focused FOCU. SED.

00:49:08.500 --> 00:49:14.720
Mark Entrekin: contact me, how easy it holds up! And I say that because we must start empowering our call to action.
579
00:49:14.990 --> 00:49:21.079
Mark Entrekin: I'm asking you to join me in this journey to create a more inclusive and harmonious world.
580
00:49:21.980 --> 00:49:27.570
Mark Entrekin: Together we can achieve unity and end, hate, anger and prejudice.
581
00:49:27.800 --> 00:49:31.269
Mark Entrekin: We can make a difference one step at a time.
582
00:49:32.050 --> 00:49:36.229
Mark Entrekin: personally and professionally, this is not just for the personal. Just at home.
583
00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:40.750
Mark Entrekin: too many things at home we take to work, and we don't perform well at work, either.
584
00:49:41.160 --> 00:49:47.319
Mark Entrekin: Let's work together for home or personally, professionally, socially. Let's do it.
585
00:49:47.550 --> 00:49:50.230
Mark Entrekin: Let's be reflective and inspirational.
586
00:49:50.600 --> 00:50:01.690
Mark Entrekin: Remember the power to change and improve. The world starts with each of us by embracing unity
587
00:50:01.920 --> 00:50:04.559
Mark Entrekin: and ending those negative emotions.
588
00:50:05.050 --> 00:50:10.030
Mark Entrekin: We can build a brighter, a much brighter future for all of us.
589
00:50:10.440 --> 00:50:14.509
Mark Entrekin: We can inspire and include others in our mission.
590
00:50:14.780 --> 00:50:22.220
Mark Entrekin: each one of us, each and every one of us, over and over what looks good about angry.
591
00:50:23.110 --> 00:50:27.120
Mark Entrekin: I'm impressed for those of us who watch the Nfl. And the Ncaa. Football.
592
00:50:27.590 --> 00:50:30.349
Mark Entrekin: Even in basketball, a lot of these sports.
593
00:50:30.550 --> 00:50:36.579
Mark Entrekin: They're making more rules or flags are thrown because of anger on the field.
594
00:50:37.130 --> 00:50:40.260
Mark Entrekin: And you think, well, they're on a base. They're on a football field. Maybe even a baseball field.
595
00:50:40.940 --> 00:50:43.760
Mark Entrekin: That's what they do. Well, if you're on that
596
00:50:44.090 --> 00:50:48.250
Mark Entrekin: field, are you in that ring like the boxing ring for Boxing Day.
597
00:50:48.690 --> 00:50:51.510
Mark Entrekin: you both have a contract that says these things can happen.
598
00:50:51.920 --> 00:51:00.700
Mark Entrekin: But if you're not on that field, if you're not on that tarp and that ring, don't do it.
599
00:51:00.810 --> 00:51:04.909
Mark Entrekin: Each of us stop, we must have personal commitment.
600
00:51:05.090 --> 00:51:12.080
Mark Entrekin: We must be committed to helping ourselves, achieve unity and end. Hate and anger.
601
00:51:12.570 --> 00:51:17.629
Mark Entrekin: Extinguish prejudice must be in our personal and professional life.
602
00:51:17.920 --> 00:51:25.950
Mark Entrekin: We can work together to create a culture of encouragement, inspiration, and inclusion.
603
00:51:26.790 --> 00:51:29.279
Mark Entrekin: Remember the story. 4 blood types.
604
00:51:29.430 --> 00:51:37.020
Mark Entrekin: We are all the same visionary motivational we can be.
605
00:51:37.410 --> 00:51:41.039
Mark Entrekin: Our world is ours. We saw what happened in 2024.
606
00:51:42.130 --> 00:51:45.869
Mark Entrekin: What do we want to see in 2025?
607
00:51:46.020 --> 00:51:47.630
Mark Entrekin: It's our vision.
608
00:51:48.510 --> 00:51:58.720
Mark Entrekin: We can create the mission we can imagine and put into progress a world where unity prevails and hate
609
00:51:59.020 --> 00:52:04.070
Mark Entrekin: and anger and prejudice are things of the past
610
00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:07.320
Mark Entrekin: we learn from day to day.
611
00:52:07.660 --> 00:52:09.950
Mark Entrekin: Those are things of the past.
612
00:52:10.260 --> 00:52:17.229
Mark Entrekin: hate, anger, prejudice, things of the past. We've talked about them, we've learned, we understand them better now
613
00:52:19.390 --> 00:52:21.780
Mark Entrekin: the vision is within our reach.
614
00:52:22.800 --> 00:52:29.020
Mark Entrekin: If we can commit to encouraging, inspiring, and including others.
615
00:52:29.220 --> 00:52:32.880
Mark Entrekin: let's make this vision a reality.
616
00:52:33.380 --> 00:52:35.610
Mark Entrekin: It's something that we can do.
617
00:52:36.110 --> 00:52:38.200
Mark Entrekin: You and I, each and every one of us.
618
00:52:38.430 --> 00:52:46.559
Mark Entrekin: Too many people think that. Oh, being nice and say, I'm sorry. Oh, that's Wimpy. We've talked about this earlier, but it's not
619
00:52:47.050 --> 00:52:53.949
Mark Entrekin: we can harness that power. How many times have you were going to walk across the street, and there's a car coming and you stop.
620
00:52:55.070 --> 00:53:00.160
Mark Entrekin: You find the car by you're going into a grocery store. Let's say you're walking up there. There's a crosswalk there.
621
00:53:00.730 --> 00:53:02.160
Mark Entrekin: but that car's coming.
622
00:53:02.740 --> 00:53:06.930
Mark Entrekin: but you stop before you walk into that crosswalk. Yes, you have the right of way.
623
00:53:07.970 --> 00:53:10.749
Mark Entrekin: What does that car that's speeding up there all of a sudden. Do
624
00:53:13.050 --> 00:53:18.930
Mark Entrekin: you slow down? What should they do? Well, they shouldn't be going fast, to begin with. I shouldn't be going fast to begin with, but
625
00:53:19.680 --> 00:53:24.169
Mark Entrekin: soon as you do that they also slow down.
626
00:53:25.510 --> 00:53:32.440
Mark Entrekin: If we stand up and we're gonna walk across that crosswalk one way or another, it's a crosswalk. I have my rights.
627
00:53:34.960 --> 00:53:38.680
Mark Entrekin: I'm not gonna argue with that car. Those car bumpers hurt.
628
00:53:39.680 --> 00:53:50.159
Mark Entrekin: But the bottom line to the story is when you're encouraging others when you're inspiring others.
629
00:53:51.540 --> 00:53:53.150
Mark Entrekin: are we, including others?
630
00:53:53.370 --> 00:53:59.329
Mark Entrekin: We all work together so much better by harnessing that power.
631
00:53:59.580 --> 00:54:03.389
Mark Entrekin: that power encouraging others. Let that car go through.
632
00:54:03.830 --> 00:54:06.589
Mark Entrekin: They may have an emergency that we don't know about.
633
00:54:08.040 --> 00:54:09.369
Mark Entrekin: Maybe maybe not.
634
00:54:09.570 --> 00:54:10.910
Mark Entrekin: It doesn't matter.
635
00:54:12.760 --> 00:54:15.510
Mark Entrekin: It doesn't matter that they go first.st
636
00:54:15.930 --> 00:54:19.889
Mark Entrekin: If we have to be that 1st we may have a mental issue.
637
00:54:23.310 --> 00:54:26.500
Mark Entrekin: Mental health is an exercise just like a muscle.
638
00:54:28.300 --> 00:54:33.930
Mark Entrekin: I read a lot because of that mental health as a muscle.
639
00:54:34.260 --> 00:54:37.390
Mark Entrekin: just like what we build on our arms, our legs.
640
00:54:39.080 --> 00:54:41.160
Mark Entrekin: It's that strength that we have.
641
00:54:41.700 --> 00:54:45.339
Mark Entrekin: and we must learn to harness that power
642
00:54:45.680 --> 00:54:54.599
Mark Entrekin: through encouraging, inspiring, and including others, and if you are a CEO, CIO, Cfo C-suite, your senior leader.
643
00:54:55.380 --> 00:54:57.470
Mark Entrekin: I want to talk to your people, too.
644
00:54:58.200 --> 00:55:01.339
Mark Entrekin: I want to talk to your teams. Please call me.
645
00:55:01.580 --> 00:55:03.519
Mark Entrekin: Let's get focused.
646
00:55:03.720 --> 00:55:09.789
Mark Entrekin: FOCU. SED. 3, 0, 3, 3, 6, 2, 8, 7, 3, 3 0, 3 focus.
647
00:55:10.610 --> 00:55:11.860
Mark Entrekin: We can do this.
648
00:55:12.800 --> 00:55:14.350
Mark Entrekin: We can do this together.
649
00:55:14.810 --> 00:55:16.190
Mark Entrekin: If you're a family.
650
00:55:16.750 --> 00:55:19.310
Mark Entrekin: If you're a team, let's talk.
651
00:55:20.400 --> 00:55:24.259
Mark Entrekin: There are times when somebody just doesn't want to change.
652
00:55:24.650 --> 00:55:27.389
Mark Entrekin: Improvement is not in their vocabulary.
653
00:55:28.020 --> 00:55:29.329
Mark Entrekin: Let's work on that.
654
00:55:29.500 --> 00:55:31.529
Mark Entrekin: Let's see what we can do together.
655
00:55:31.950 --> 00:55:35.159
Mark Entrekin: Some people are set that culture we talked about earlier.
656
00:55:36.390 --> 00:55:41.260
Mark Entrekin: Have they learned to listen to their family or their friends? Have they learned to go to them?
657
00:55:41.650 --> 00:55:44.360
Mark Entrekin: Maybe they go out to dinner with this group of friends.
658
00:55:44.710 --> 00:55:47.140
Mark Entrekin: Maybe they have this friend they talk to often.
659
00:55:47.970 --> 00:55:52.890
Mark Entrekin: That friend has given them bad information before, but they go back and do it again and again.
660
00:55:53.120 --> 00:55:57.009
Mark Entrekin: Let's talk. Let's see if we can all help us learn.
661
00:55:57.760 --> 00:56:00.070
Mark Entrekin: Let's take that call to action.
662
00:56:00.770 --> 00:56:04.810
Mark Entrekin: Let's build what we're building together and grow forward.
663
00:56:05.630 --> 00:56:07.260
Mark Entrekin: Change is inevitable.
664
00:56:07.590 --> 00:56:13.000
Mark Entrekin: But improvement is a choice we must choose to improve.
665
00:56:16.320 --> 00:56:21.279
Mark Entrekin: We must be able to. As we're coming up at the end of 2024,
666
00:56:22.270 --> 00:56:24.630
Mark Entrekin: we must be able to reflect
667
00:56:25.560 --> 00:56:27.499
Mark Entrekin: on this year that's gone by
668
00:56:28.370 --> 00:56:31.680
Mark Entrekin: and look forward to the priorities of a new beginning.
669
00:56:32.030 --> 00:56:36.450
Mark Entrekin: What did we do in 2024 that we want to take forward.
670
00:56:36.620 --> 00:56:38.669
Mark Entrekin: What do we want to leave behind?
671
00:56:39.370 --> 00:56:44.930
Mark Entrekin: Hope? This information I've shared with you today has resonated with you sparked a desire
672
00:56:45.110 --> 00:56:51.120
Mark Entrekin: for positive change and improvement. Change is short term improvements long term.
673
00:56:51.470 --> 00:56:55.409
Mark Entrekin: Let's improve through the year. Through the New year.
674
00:56:56.470 --> 00:57:01.190
Mark Entrekin: The journey towards a more inclusive, a harmonious world
675
00:57:01.410 --> 00:57:07.580
Mark Entrekin: is one we must embark on together achieving unity.
676
00:57:08.200 --> 00:57:14.559
Mark Entrekin: It's a journey of understanding, empathy, and action.
677
00:57:15.080 --> 00:57:17.219
Mark Entrekin: Nothing helps that action.
678
00:57:17.740 --> 00:57:21.190
Mark Entrekin: Talking to others doesn't help talk to the person.
679
00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:24.029
Mark Entrekin: But you need to talk with
680
00:57:25.010 --> 00:57:27.989
Mark Entrekin: to solve the issues that in front of you today
681
00:57:28.520 --> 00:57:35.350
Mark Entrekin: we must be where we strive to bridge and bridge those divides.
682
00:57:35.970 --> 00:57:42.590
Mark Entrekin: build those connections through communication and collaboration, not through others, but through ourselves.
683
00:57:43.620 --> 00:57:55.950
Mark Entrekin: Remember every step that we take, no matter how small, contributes to that larger goal of ending hate.
684
00:57:56.570 --> 00:57:58.980
Mark Entrekin: anger, and prejudice.
685
00:57:59.800 --> 00:58:06.429
Mark Entrekin: Let's carry the spirit of unity and hope into the New year.
686
00:58:06.640 --> 00:58:17.709
Mark Entrekin: and commit to making a difference one step, 1 min, 1 h, one day, one week at a time.

695
00:58:54.420 --> 00:58:58.569
Mark Entrekin: But we need to be ready to continue the important work together.
696
00:58:59.140 --> 00:59:03.170
Mark Entrekin: But we can do it, you and I. It's our choice.
697
00:59:04.180 --> 00:59:05.300

00:59:51.660 --> 00:59:54.280
Mark Entrekin: And now I've got to find my end screen.
