2.18.19Start your Monday right with us. Good music, good vibes, and good people. What else do you wanna ask for? #MotivationMondayWe start out the show with an important question: How do you use social media for good? Because it’s not about what it is, it’s what you do with it. Conscious also talks about an art fair in Harlem, leading us to the same two things we’ve always told you: Support artists, and never undersell yourself. In #NewsYouCanUse: The NYPD Commander who told officers to shoot 50 Cent is under investigation. Jussie Smollett is investigated for allegedly fabricating the hate crime he suffered. New York approves Child Victims Act where those who suffered abuse can sue their victims in a longer statute of limitations. The catholic church is under scrutiny after revelations show the constant issue of sexual abuse. Following #ChatroomCheckIn we take the moment to get into what motivates us. Conscious reminds us that art is work, not magic, and sometimes you have to go back and sharpen your craft. TK runs through what it means to work on yourself, you only get one body, keep it running well. So take care of yourself and keep it balanced. #MotivationMonday@TKinTheAM is live every M-W-F 10-1130am EST on bondfireradio.com and tunein app. Sameday replays 7pm EST also available on Apple Podcasts, GooglePodcasts, Spreaker, and Spotify!If you really like us, leave a review on Apple Podcast that’d be really cool.http://geturshirt.com < get some TKAM gearRUNDOWN0:00 #SONG: I Will Always Find A Way · Sheffield (@JamieLono) 3:36 #Intro: Using Social Media for good; Conscious and the Art Market; 23:10 #SONG: @Drake - Best I Ever Had28:55 #NewsYouCanUse: Cop said to shoot 50 Cent; Jussie Smollett allegedly hate crimed himself; NY Child Victims Act; Catholic Church sex abuse scandal59:20 #SONG: Ever After - @monicaBlaire 63:57 #ChatroomCheckIn: Monday Motivations70:41 #Discussions: To-Do Lists don’t work; Art is work, not magic; Take care of your body80:05 #SONG:Look At Me Now - Emily King#Outro: Last Motivations
