All right, it is Mojo in the morning. Kevin, you have to explain this to me because I hear people say this all the time. What is imposter syndrome?

00:02:10 - 00:02:49 | Speaker 3:

I'm sure there is a definition out there that we can Google and figure out. But I think it's like a fear, a doubt, or like an insecurity that wherever you are, you're not meant to be there or you're not good enough to be there. OK, and you're realizing this either in the moment and a friend of mine named Kyle, big shout out to Kyle. He's the the director of a very cool organization that's all about teaching kids how to become leaders, especially kids from inner city communities. And it's called the Central Detroit Christian Development Center. And Kyle asked me to be on the board.

00:02:50 - 00:02:52 | Speaker 8:

Wow. Exactly. Oh, my God, that's huge.

00:02:52 - 00:04:30 | Speaker 3:

Super huge. So immediately I was grateful for the opportunity to be on the board. even to be considered in because Kyle is my friend and he's one of the greatest guys I know. He actually, Mojo, you met Kyle. He prayed at our gender reveal. Oh yes. So Kyle's incredible. So I'm like, yeah, for sure. And of course I want to help my brother. So when I get to our first board meeting on Saturday and I'm looking at not the run of show, but like I'm looking at the itinerary and really understanding what it means to be a board member and how we are having this strategic planning meeting about the future of this organization and how it's going to impact the community I'm sitting in the chair and I'm like man what can what can I offer to this conversation like what in my background what of my qualifications what in my history what am I about to offer to this conversation what value am I am I providing why am I in this seat and I snapped out of it for about the first five minutes after we're going around the room and we're having those introductions and everybody's saying like hey I'm John Smith and I'm the lead of da da da da Hey, I'm Mary Catherine and I do that. I'm like, yeah, I'm Kev. I'm in sports and entertainment. Like, you know what I mean? Like, I'm still me. But at the same time, I'm sitting there and literally we are deciding the future of this organization that's like impacting people. And I'm like, damn, like hearts start beating fast. I start looking around like, man, do I belong here? And I haven't had many of those moments in my life. I can appreciate it because I know that I'm not operating just fully off of who I am. I know there's a higher power guiding me. And that's what I had to tap into to get beyond it. But that imposter syndrome is real.

00:04:30 - 00:05:00 | Speaker 8:

God, it's so funny to hear you say that. And I understand that because I think that regardless of anybody else's title around that table, when you guys were sitting there going through that agenda, you were the one that was supposed to be there. Because I feel like it's not about I'm the CEO or I'm the president of this company. It's about your heart and your compassion for what that organization is doing and that is you Like I feel like you are always all in you dive in like sometimes

00:05:00 - 00:05:20 | Speaker 4:

when you speak and i'm not just talking about on the air but i'm talking about off the air about stuff i'm just like i feel like i just went to church like it's your message is so good and it's because of who you are and the life that you've led up until now and so i think but you're that is that is imposter syndrome you think you shouldn't be there but you very much are qualified

00:05:20 - 00:05:32 | Speaker 1:

to be there yeah i noticed i noticed when you said that what your title is that you do sports entertainment why do you're you're also a major uh media personality well i mean that's that's

00:05:32 - 00:06:30 | Speaker 2:

the entertainment part okay i feel like it's a shorter way to tell you what i do and if you really want to find out then you'll ask what does that mean and we can go into detail but to be like i host this and i'm on the mojo in the morning it just seemed like it should take too long but shannon brought up a great word that word qualify and this is why i say it took me a minute to because sometimes we got to remember who we are and where our foot and where our feet stand And what I mean by that is we should be powered by purpose. And the reason why you said qualify, I was on the phone with my sister and I told her this. She was like, she got into some things. And I remember a pastor said, God doesn't call the qualified. He qualifies the called. And when you remember that you are called for something, it doesn't matter what the rule books are. Or it doesn't matter what the qualifications are under the sheet that says what the job description is. I've called you. So you already qualified. and that's what I had to remember but prior to that when I wasn't thinking with my I was thinking with my mind and not like my higher mind it made me feel like man you are you shouldn't be here

00:06:30 - 00:06:36 | Speaker 4:

when you absolutely what you said exactly what you just said you say that to any of the kids

00:06:36 - 00:07:33 | Speaker 1:

life-changing and that's why you're there well and I and I often think I think sometimes that we try to get people that are what we call qualified but they're not because they can't relate. And I think that relating to these kids is going to make you even more qualified. Your story qualifies you for this more so than even what you do, because you've had a, you got a great story, you know, you, you, uh, you're going to add so much more positive to that, uh, that organization based on how you were raised and how you were able to rise above what, uh, you know, particular situation could have happened to you you know what i mean like i think kevin you're uh more than qualified for that matter of fact i think you're overqualified do they pay give you a raise no what is it it's volunteering right you're volunteering for this whole thing yeah so i think and your friend knows you best right so did you tell did you tell him that you felt like

00:07:33 - 00:07:39 | Speaker 2:

you were an imposter i didn't i didn't so he's learning that right now yeah no it's i i guys i

00:07:39 - 00:08:03 | Speaker 1:

sit there and i think that sometimes like i that's that's amazing that uh your story is like shannon says a story that i think so many people can hear you tell your personal you know childhood and then what you're doing now and how you don't ever try to make excuses for anything and i i would say that you should be talking to more kids about that have y'all ever felt this in any instance

00:08:03 - 00:08:04 | Speaker 2:

of your life? Impostations? No, I feel

00:08:04 - 00:08:07 | Speaker 1:

overqualified for everything. That's for everything

00:08:07 - 00:08:07 | Speaker 2:

I do.

00:08:09 - 00:08:19 | Speaker 1:

I feel like, you know, my qualification, no, yeah, absolutely. Every day we come into the show, I feel like we're not prepared enough to go on the radio and fill four hours, you know? I think every mom

00:08:19 - 00:08:23 | Speaker 4:

feels that way. Oh. Every day I wake up, I'm like, I don't know what I'm doing.

00:08:24 - 00:08:34 | Speaker 1:

Yeah, I bet. Because that's the biggest responsibility of your life, Shannon. Yeah. What's up, Amanda? How you doing? It's Mojo in the morning. Thank you for calling the show. What's going on?

00:08:36 - 00:08:37 | Speaker 3:

Hey, good morning. Morning.

00:08:38 - 00:08:38 | Speaker 1:

Morning.

00:08:39 - 00:09:03 | Speaker 3:

It's so nice to hear the passion in Kev's voice when he talks about, you know, these different organizations that he's a part of, to hear how driven he is to make an impact. And it's really nice to know that not only is he a, you know, radio personality, but he also does want to see what he can do for the future youth and to see how he can impact them to make things better.

00:09:03 - 00:09:53 | Speaker 1:

you know with his experiences i appreciate that he is more than just a pretty face that's right and a guy it's funny because i feel like kevin the last couple of topics that he's done has gone you know he's talking about you know girls and all the rest stuff and you'll see like the the the people that will text in and they'll go kevin you like they're all like preaching to you like you need to get on this and it's like kevin you're probably the most rounded out of all of us because you're the most real like you tell you you you we're we're majority of times we don't say the things that we want to say kevin says them and it's great that's what i love so much about him on the air jennifer what's up uh grab uh line two or three or whatever jennifer's on jennifer i can't count what's going on hi good morning guys um not to get too spiritual but

00:09:53 - 00:10:00 | Speaker 3:

i wanted to remind kevin that he had mentioned um getting into his higher frame of mind that

00:10:00 - 00:10:25 | Speaker 5:

That's when you press in, Kevin, you're faithful, you know, press in. That's what your gut is telling you. Don't you ever doubt yourself. You have been called and God has put you right where you are. You are touching people. You don't even know it. And when you feel yourself, that's just the devil in your ear. Not today. Not today. You are there. You're God's child. And you know that. So press into that. Let that be the moment where you're like, yep, this is where my faith comes into play. You got this.

00:10:25 - 00:10:38 | Speaker 3:

That's right. Jennifer, don't ever apologize for, you know, when you want to try to say something that is going to make another person's life better. Because I feel like on this show, you are freedom to speak your mind, whatever you want to say.

00:10:39 - 00:10:40 | Speaker 5:

Well, thanks, Mojo.

00:10:41 - 00:10:42 | Speaker 7:

Text her here. I'm a school teacher that can't talk because I'm walking into school. But every day I try to mold kids' lives. And every day I feel like I'm an imposter. until the end of the day when I see these kids walking out with smiles on their face and they just learn something. That's a cool text that came in. Alicia, what's up? It's Mojo in the morning. How are you?

I do not know very much culture behind their other half, but I love listening to him. My kids love listening to him. And your mind, the way you think, the way you break things down, it intrigues me. And I literally tell my children this every day when he has something so smart and makes me think every single morning. And I love it. And you are very more than qualified for the youth. And it is heartwarming. So thank you and keep up the good work.

00:12:05 - 00:12:07 | Speaker 7:
