WebcamTranscript
00:19Thank you for joining us.
03:30Here, we explore what it means to live debt-free, not just financially, but spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally.
03:38Every episode is part of a journey across our weekly mentorship series, Spiritual Sundays, Mental Mondays, Transformational Tuesdays, Wind-Down
03:48Wednesdays, Coaching Sessions Thursdays, and Financial Fridays.
03:52Each day holds space for wisdom, each day holds space for wisdom, so grab your journal, pour your glass, and
04:00prepare to go beyond the surface.
04:03Because here, we don't just talk, we transform.
04:05And now, here's your guide through it all, entrepreneur, mentor, and founder of Black Diamond Consultations, Laren Gaines.
04:26Welcome on in, welcome to another episode of the 411 Podcast.
04:32We are here, Transformational Tuesday.
04:36Today, and let me tell you, there definitely has been some transformation.
04:40And it definitely will be some transformation after this show is over, because this week has been one of those
04:50weeks where I've been hustling and doing the thing.
04:54And, of course, I could not do this without each and every one of you, but most importantly, I could
05:00not do this without the love, support, guidance from my executive producer.
05:06I want to give a very special thank you to my executive producer, my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for
05:13giving me another opportunity, giving me the strength, the courage, the wisdom to continuously come out here and give you
05:21all this 411 Podcast.
05:22And, of course, everyone out there who is watching, I want to say good morning to all of you all.
05:29Thank you for rocking with me first thing in the morning.
05:31I appreciate you, my Facebook family, my YouTube family.
05:35Very special thank you to my guests who come in and, you know, support and rock with me.
05:42Sasha Nicole, what's going on?
05:44How you doing?
05:45We got author Birdman 313 tomorrow.
05:50We had Jorge Ornesto Lozano in yesterday and tonight, Transformational Tuesday, we have Antonio Arminio Trujillo coming in in just
06:03a few minutes.
06:04So I think we're ready to do this.
06:06For those of you out there, please hit that like button, use your virtual voice, drop it in the comments.
06:12Let me know exactly where you are calling from.
06:15So let's get on into this.
06:17Y'all know this is my favorite segment, Song of the Day.
06:24All right.
06:25So we're talking about your daily routines.
06:29And sometimes our daily routines and the things that we do on a day-to-day basis or the things
06:34that we don't do on a day-to-day basis will actually end up telling on us.
06:39And it shows up in reality.
06:41So Song of the Day, Hustlin' by Rick Ross.
06:46And every day, we hustlin', we hustlin', we hustlin'.
06:51At least that's exactly what I'm doing.
06:54So the rhetorical question that I have to put out there for each and every one of you is how
07:00bad do you want it?
07:01And if you're hustling, are you grinding, are you perfecting your craft, are you studying, are you watching what you
07:10do, how you speak, how you move, are you perfecting?
07:17See, I spoke about this a couple nights before that we want to be like everybody else.
07:25For those of you out there, if you scroll on the gram, on social media, is it unique or are
07:36you copying what somebody else is doing?
07:39Did you see what somebody else had and now you needed to go run and buy it?
07:45See, it's called being extraordinary.
07:51If you want those extra things in life, you have to be extraordinary and you got to do something a
07:56little bit extra and different than the next person.
07:59Otherwise, you're just going to be some copycat, some, you know, made up version of.
08:08So this is Transformational Tuesday, so I'm going to leave you with some wisdom here.
08:15See, I always knew that I was different and I, you know, stayed true to being different.
08:25I was very secret about my moves someday, you know, still to this day.
08:32I'm not going to broadcast everything and I'm not going to put everything out there, even though, you know, I'm
08:38here.
08:43So hustle, that's the key word tonight, grind.
08:51Make it do what it do.
08:54Please know that if you don't wake up and you go through the regular routine journey, you're going to end
08:58up being just like everybody else and you're going to get whatever everybody else is getting.
09:03So if you want something a little bit different, you're going to have to be different.
09:10And being different requires you to push through and do something a little bit extra because, yeah, I can just
09:17go out and we can go out and we can be just like everybody else.
09:20And there's no effort in that.
09:22There really isn't.
09:24But if you want to be different and you want that extra, you want that icing on the cake, it
09:30requires you to do something extra in order for you to become extraordinary and show up differently.
09:39Remember, the things that you do on a daily basis, the things that you do on a weekly basis, the
09:43things that you do on a monthly basis, it's going to show up.
09:48People can tell people when they look at you, when they see you coming, when they hear your name, think,
09:59wow, this person is extra, this person is different.
10:03Or when they speak your name, when they think of you, do you just blend in with the rest of
10:09the crowd?
10:10You know how some people say on you being a little extra?
10:13It's okay to be a little extra.
10:16But what does your extra look like?
10:19That again, they say that, you know, oh, this one's doing the most or this one over here, they're being
10:26a little extra.
10:27It's okay to be a little extra.
10:29But what does your extra actually look like?
10:32What does it sound like?
10:36Song of the day, Hustlin' by Rick Ross.
10:40Now, as we continue on this Transformational Tuesday, this Good Transformational Tuesday, I'm going to bring in a special guest,
10:49friend of the show.
10:50He's been here before, but this time is going to be a little bit different.
10:54Remember, I spoke about being a little bit extra and being different.
10:58There's something about this cat that is going to give us different vibes tonight.
11:03So, let's get into this here.
11:05We have special guests joining in for Transformational Tuesday, Mr. Antonio Trujillo.
11:14So, y'all go ahead and give a round of applause as we go ahead and bring Mr. Antonio up.
11:31Welcome, welcome.
11:33Welcome on in to this Transformational Tuesday.
11:36How are you?
11:37Good, yourself?
11:39I just want to say I am honored to be a part of your show again.
11:43You know what I mean?
11:44Be a returning guest.
11:45And I just want to say I give you the much love as I can, man.
11:49Oh, most definitely.
11:51Thank you for joining.
11:52I appreciate it.
11:53Of course, I could not, you know, have this wonderful dialogue and conversation without you.
11:58And thank you for the support, you know, the flyers and all of that stuff.
12:02You know, you got some real dope stuff out there.
12:05I appreciate that.
12:07And it's all the folk behind the scenes, man.
12:10All the help and assistance.
12:11You know, it's all about, you know, building relationships with folks.
12:15You know, that's how I see it.
12:16But, yeah, you know, it's, it's, it ain't easy.
12:21You know, some people, you know, they make it seem easy, but it takes a lot to make some
12:27of this stuff go around, doing the records and the promotions and all of those great things.
12:32So.
12:33A lot of sacrifices.
12:34I respect the craft there.
12:38So, um, show tradition.
12:40And I always, for some reason, I like the weather.
12:44I like the hot weather.
12:47And maybe I was like a weather person.
12:50So let us know exactly where you are calling from.
12:53And what's the weather like over there?
12:57I'm calling from Public, Colorado.
12:59And, um, right now, it's about 80 degrees.
13:03It's pretty nice out.
13:04You know, it's spring is near.
13:05It's pretty much here.
13:07It's, it's the time, you know what I mean?
13:08It's that season again.
13:09Got lizards in our front yard.
13:11It's, it's amazing, man.
13:13Nice and hot.
13:14Perfect, perfect time to get out and do something different every day.
13:19So it's 80 already.
13:20So in the summertime, what's the temperature like then?
13:25Um, it's hundreds.
13:28It's 90 to a hundred.
13:30And where's this at again?
13:31Public, Colorado.
13:33I didn't think that Colorado hit temps like that.
13:37Oh yeah.
13:37Oh man.
13:38It's the summers are terrible.
13:39I ain't gonna lie to you.
13:41Really?
13:41I know the winners are, winners are brutal, but I didn't know the summers, uh, jump off like
13:47that.
13:47So 80, when did it sit like, like warm up?
13:53Like around what month?
13:54When does it turn?
13:55Um, start getting like 80.
13:57I say like last month.
13:58Really?
13:59Last month we were, we were hitting that.
14:00Yup.
14:02So in February.
14:04Wow.
14:04That's crazy.
14:05All right.
14:06See, and we had, we had an odd winter this year.
14:09Odd winter.
14:10It was, it was odd.
14:11It was hot.
14:12It wasn't as cold as I expected it to be.
14:13Okay.
14:14So that basically we got your winter then.
14:16Cause this winter was out of control.
14:18You guys must've caught wind out of control.
14:22All right.
14:23So, um, what's, what's going on?
14:26I know you got a new album out.
14:29Yeah.
14:29Uh, released October 1st, um, aftermath, the mythic 2025, 2026.
14:36And, um, a new label, uh, I rebranded, changed up, you know, it went from unity infinite.
14:43We had a lot of people with our, our group, a lot of international folk.
14:47And now, uh, we, uh, we freed up the roster.
14:51You know what I mean?
14:51It's just my cousin, uh, Corbin and me.
14:56And that makes the, the, the three duo.
14:59So, you know, the triple threat.
15:00So yeah, we're under rogue Esquire now released a new album and I'm working on a book.
15:06I'm like in the first stages of writing my first discography on my whole collection for now, by the time
15:14I turned 30.
15:15So, you know what I mean?
15:15I'll have all this ready with another album, uh, re-release of my original, but going in there with a
15:22different perspective, you know, approaching something familiar, but making it in a sense unfamiliar, if you know what I mean?
15:31You know what I mean?
15:32Diving deep in the deeper realms.
15:34But no, I've been working with my cousin, getting him going.
15:38He just released a single, uh, a new Don for his new album, The Return.
15:46That's what's up.
15:47That's what's up.
15:48My cousin is a faithful man.
15:50I'll tell you what, he's one of them, he's one of them dudes, man.
15:52He's a good guy.
15:53You know what?
15:54We might need to get him on here.
15:55Uh, I'll, I'll, I'll talk to you afterwards, but yeah, I might have a spot, uh, for him to be
16:01on, on, on this series is the same series.
16:03So yeah, we'll, we'll chop it up afterwards.
16:05But, um, you, you spoke about some things, freeing up your roster.
16:12This is your, uh, record label or you're signed to another record label?
16:17No, uh, um, uh, just a self, cell phone.
16:22You know what I mean?
16:23Come on, independent.
16:24Okay.
16:25So it's, it's just, it's just rebranded and we changed it up a little bit.
16:28You know what I mean?
16:29We left what was behind because we're a lot older now and you know, we, we can reflect, but we
16:35don't want to, we don't want to, I guess you can say, um, showcase.
16:39You know what I mean?
16:40Showcase our younger days when we were just learning and stuff, you know what I mean?
16:45And so this is all with a whole new approach, working with different producers, working with different mentors.
16:52You know what I mean?
16:53Just really in touch with who's around.
16:57Okay.
16:57That's what's up.
16:58I know, I know I want to touch two bases.
17:01I know you said that you, um, freed up some, um, international artists.
17:07So I guess you were working with artists, um, internationally.
17:12I work with some, um, people on this podcast internationally and it can become a challenge.
17:19Let me tell you what the time is the language barrier and everything.
17:24Yeah.
17:25So I've had some disappointments from working with, um, international people, but I will tell you that I've had built
17:31great relationships in France and, uh, Belgium.
17:35Um, South, South Korea, I believe.
17:40Um, so there are some artists that are, you know, on point when it comes to crossing the international, uh,
17:47boundaries.
17:47So for you, what, were you disappointed with that or?
17:54No, we had a, we had a falling out.
17:58So that's, it's kind of why the re the reason I released that fallout album is because of the whole
18:03issue as with my partner, my close partner.
18:07When I first started in 22, 2022, uh, you love Bebo.
18:11So we had a falling out and, uh, it was over, over beat purchasing and licensing and another guy jumping
18:19on board and, you know, how it goes.
18:21Somebody wants to collect the money and, you know, somebody has to pay.
18:24And so it had to be me.
18:25And so we had a falling out.
18:27So we, we all came together, just my close people.
18:30And we decided that we need to change up.
18:33We need to make this, uh, we need to make a different movement because unity infinite was all about uniting
18:38everybody and keeping everybody together.
18:40But then when you realize that folks tend to take advantage of you or they can't deliver and cause at
18:47the end of the day, it's a business, you know what I mean?
18:51And so you gotta, you gotta look at it.
18:54Like, you know, you gotta, you gotta have something on hand ready for the, for the people to, you know,
19:01experience when you're an artist and that gets tough and that gets very difficult.
19:06So, you know, narrowing your circle, you know, helps with that, that perspective.
19:13Yeah.
19:14Yeah.
19:15Um, my, my philosophy today, um, I learned, I basically knew it all my life, but the pressures of wanting
19:23to be popular, wanting people to like me, crossing the boundaries of being a people pleaser, you end up falling
19:32into these traps and getting wrapped up with the wrong crowd.
19:34And start to do what other people do.
19:37But for me, after going through some of the issues that I've went through, very simple, I'm a minimalist today.
19:44Less is more.
19:45The less that I have, the more that I have.
19:48So in, in this business, sometimes it's less is more.
19:53Like you look at the artists who are out there, who are on top.
19:59We see them when they're on top, but we don't really see what happens behind closed doors.
20:04We don't see the backstab and we don't see, you know, a lot of things.
20:09And a lot of the downfall of some artists and people don't just have the music is when you got
20:15your circle too big and you're stretched like this and you don't know who's really down for you and who's
20:24not.
20:24So in order for you to have a good rap on it, I keep my friends to a minimum today.
20:31I'm okay with that.
20:33I used to, people used to make fun of me for keeping my friends to a minimum, but I was
20:39the one who was actually winning in the long run.
20:43I agree with you on that one because it's good to be a lone wolf, you know what I mean?
20:48When it comes to certain circumstances and I can agree with you a hundred percent because, you know, things are
20:54a lot better, you know, the people that we work with now, you know, they're, they're more experienced.
21:02And so they're, I guess you can say they're guiding us on maintaining what we're doing.
21:10You know what I mean?
21:11Trying to keep it going, trying to keep going, the ball rolling, keeping it, keep going forward with everything.
21:16Yeah.
21:16Every retracting.
21:19They also say that you are only an average.
21:25And I've, I've said this plenty of times here on the podcast.
21:28You are only an average of the five closest people that you surround yourself with.
21:32So for people out there listening, look at your circle.
21:36Think about the five people that you interact with on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.
21:41You're only an average of them.
21:45That keyword average is deep.
21:47It hit me, hit me deep.
21:49And I was like, okay, so I'm not better than them.
21:53I'm only an average.
21:55Interesting.
21:57So, so that's why I like to surround myself by people who know a hell of a lot more than
22:00I do.
22:02Yep.
22:03Cause they're always starting to learn.
22:05Yeah.
22:05I'm starting to learn that as I'm getting older, you know, I'm starting to realize, you know, the elder are
22:11a lot more wiser.
22:12You know what I mean?
22:13Comes to certain circumstances and people are off on a whole different agenda.
22:21Now, I know you were saying you were cleaning things up.
22:24This is part of the whole transformational process.
22:28Just, you know, stepping into the person who you want to be.
22:31You may not be that person yet, but you can see yourself.
22:36You can see like in the future.
22:38Some people can see themselves in the future.
22:40They can visualize, they can go into a meditative state of what they want.
22:45They're just not it yet, but they know what they want.
22:48So do you ever go back though?
22:50Instead of going to the future, do you ever go back and look at some of the things that you've
22:55even recorded?
22:57Whether it's photo shoots, whatever it is.
23:00Do you look back and be like, oh, I probably shouldn't have done that.
23:05The older version of you looks at the younger version as like, yeah, that wasn't cool.
23:10Because when you realize there's consequences to things and, you know, when it comes down to stuff like that, you
23:15realize, you know, you live and you learn.
23:17And I had to learn from experience.
23:19And there was circumstances where, you know, you know, the government was involved, the feds, I guess you can say.
23:26And it wasn't my fault, but, you know, what happens when you're on the Internet and somebody takes most of
23:33your photos on your account and releases and makes threats and stuff, you know, it comes back to me instead
23:39of them.
23:40And, you know, there's consequences to things.
23:41So, you know, living and experiencing what I'm experiencing now compared to then, it makes me realize because now, you
23:51know, I'm a family man.
23:52You know, I'm focused on my daughter, my family, and just making sure everybody is, you know, able to strive
23:59and prosper.
24:00You know what I mean?
24:01Make sure everybody's happy.
24:02And so, you know, it's tough.
24:05It's tough.
24:06But, you know, when you see yourself in the future and you realize that this is your life, don't get
24:12me wrong, but, you know, this is your daughter's life now.
24:14You know what I mean?
24:14I want her to follow my footsteps, join choir and stuff like that.
24:18So that's why I work with my cousin.
24:19You know, I coach him.
24:21And it builds me up, work with other producers, and it helps me learn.
24:25You know what I mean?
24:26It helps me just absorb everything and try to replicate it in a sense, you know what I mean?
24:31Based on what you know with knowledge.
24:35Right, right, right.
24:37You said something that is so important is you basically introduced, like, that legacy talk.
24:46When you realize that it's no longer just about you anymore, like, whether it's family, it's friends, passing something down,
24:58creating a name, building a brand.
25:01And it's that legacy talk that, you know, you started to, you know, open up the door for that.
25:07But so I'm going to go down this path.
25:11You know, I'm a financial coach.
25:12You know, I am actually very intrigued to know exactly what artists think when it comes to money.
25:21Because I look up to certain artists and I like the longevity.
25:27I'm very inspired by the longevity.
25:31My favorite artist, I remember 1991.
25:37I'm not going to get into it.
25:39Those of you who watch me, you know who I'm talking about.
25:43But this specific artist is still relevant today from 1991 when I was 11 years old until where I'm at
25:51here today at 45 years old.
25:55I'm just, like, just amazed.
25:58The ups, downs, ups, downs.
25:59And then I look at other artists who come out and maybe their career isn't that long.
26:06And the one hit wonders, all of those things out there.
26:09I've studied this since I was 11 years old.
26:13So in the music industry, especially with independent artists and things like that, when you're hustling and doing things on
26:21your own, how important is the financial aspect?
26:27Does that play a role in you staying around for however many years?
26:34You've been around.
26:35It does because, basically, you know, that's the backbone of, you know, of what we have to offer, you know
26:45what I mean?
26:45So what I've learned in doing what I'm doing is it costs money in order to make money.
26:53And you have to sacrifice a lot in order to get to where you're at.
26:58And, you know, as far as I've gotten, I've sacrificed a lot of money.
27:02But I've also made money, you know what I mean?
27:05And I interact with startups.
27:07And I try to build these relationships with them and see what they have to offer.
27:12But what everything's about is it's about funds, you know what I mean?
27:17You've got to have the money, money talks.
27:18And I'm learning that.
27:20And when it comes to funds, though, you just got to capitalize.
27:27You honestly just got to capitalize and figure out what's out there, you know what I mean?
27:32And try to relate to that and build yourself up.
27:37But when it comes to making music, you're not going to be rich, you know what I mean?
27:41And how I've seen it is, how you've said it, it's longevity, you know what I mean?
27:46It's all about how long you can stay, how long you keep that lifeline alive, how long you can support
27:51your family,
27:51and how long you can become the person you're wanting to be, you know what I mean?
27:55Your greatest version.
27:57And so it's very important.
28:00You know, you said something about becoming rich.
28:06I think that a lot of the mainstream artists, I would say that the artists that have made it, they're
28:12on top.
28:14The jewelry, the cars, you know, all of that stuff.
28:20What do you think about that?
28:21Do you think that that's really making it?
28:23Or do you think that there's more to that story?
28:28I feel like a lot of that is just, you know, it's like Instagram is like, that's where they can
28:33describe it.
28:34It's like, you know, like a show, you know what I mean?
28:37It's a whole different environment.
28:38The internet, TikTok, everything, it's all about presentation, you know what I mean?
28:43And when you look back at something like that, you know, you realize who's real and who's not, you know,
28:51based on daily routines, as you suggested earlier, and the person they present themselves as, you know what I mean?
29:00And like when we talked about narrowing our circles and stuff like that, you know, it all relates to something
29:06like that.
29:07And it's just, it's one of those things, you know.
29:13I'm going to ask you this question here.
29:17Would you rather have the clothes, cars, jewelry?
29:22Is that important to you or is it important to build businesses?
29:31I think it's all about the presentation, you know what I mean?
29:36It's all about that.
29:37So, you know, I invested in my image, you know, to present myself a certain way and to be a
29:41certain way, you know what I mean?
29:42It takes a lot of effort, though, to figure out the person you really are, though.
29:49You know, I've been to numerous therapy sessions just trying to figure out, you know, going through, like, tough times
29:54and stuff like that.
29:55And to me, what's more important is to know that, you know, I have something to show for, you know,
30:01all the stuff I've earned because I've earned everything I've gotten, you know?
30:05I didn't grow up having money, you know what I mean?
30:08Nothing was given, it was earned.
30:10And so I feel like image is important, but if you look at J. Cole, artists like him, you realize,
30:19you know, or Jay-Z, you look back and you're Eminem, they're minimalists.
30:24You know what I mean?
30:24They're not out there flexing million-dollar chains and they can't afford to buy a house.
30:32And, you know, it's a whole trail of dishonesty.
30:38That is a good point that you just basically opened up the door.
30:43Pay very close attention to that.
30:46And you touch base on a minimalist aspect as well for some of those artists out there.
30:53I'm going to get off of this because I'm very passionate about being a minimalist.
30:58Listen, I got kind of pissed off when I realized what happens behind the scenes in the music industry and
31:05how it's portrayed a certain way.
31:08And what I believe, and again, this is just my belief system, is that a lot of what we see
31:16on TV, what we see on Instagram, what we see on different platforms, that is not real.
31:22And what we do is we program the younger generation to want those things.
31:30So instead of wanting to learn how to build a record company, wanting to learn how to be the CEO
31:36of that record company, these people, they grow up wanting the chains, wanting the cars, wanting the jewelry.
31:44And in most cases, the artists that are rocking that stuff and they got the, you know, stack of money,
31:53a lot of that stuff is not real.
31:56Either it's borrowed, borrowed, rented.
32:00Inherited.
32:01Yeah, right.
32:02That's another thing, too, when people fall into money.
32:08And, yeah, that's the kicker right there.
32:13Majority of the time when people inherit money, by the time it gets to the next generation, it's completely lost.
32:20You spoke about legacy.
32:22So people who hustle, you know, that's the theme of the night.
32:26People who struggle, people who strive and climb their way to the top.
32:34Their, I guess I want to say, their legacy extends, you know, to multiple generations.
32:43By about the third of the generation, get a little hairy because it's just given to the next generation.
32:51So when money is just given to the next generation, you have to make sure that, you know, people are
32:55disciplined and they are well educated on financial literacy.
32:59Because, think about it, when something's just handed to you, you don't have to work for it.
33:04You might take some things for granted.
33:08So, yeah, I know I went on my little tangent with that.
33:12But we'll go ahead and take a pause in this moment.
33:16If you could please go ahead and let everybody know where they can follow you.
33:21You can name your album.
33:23I want to get into some of the, you know, tracks that are most important to you on that album.
33:27And, you know, your different social media handles.
33:31Okay.
33:33So, if you guys want to check me out, the master link that I do have is on Instagram.
33:39You'll find everything there, you know, articles to songs to albums to any information you want to get from behind
33:46the scenes.
33:47And visit me on YouTube, Divine Infinite, my handle.
33:54And check me out on Apple Music and everything else.
34:01All the streaming platforms that United Masters has to offer for us.
34:07All right.
34:07That's what's up.
34:08That's what's up.
34:11Now, the name.
34:15How did you come up with the name for yourself?
34:21Oh, you're still with us?
34:24Oh, yeah.
34:25I don't know what happened.
34:26We're back, though.
34:27Yeah, you're back, though.
34:28So, how did you come up with the name for yourself?
34:31Divine Infinite is, you know, to me, it's all about, you know, when it first started, you know, it was
34:39a facade.
34:42You know what I mean?
34:43I guess you can say until I, you know, until I actually step foot into realizing, you know, the person
34:49I'm trying to become, you know, more spiritual, you know, spiritual alignment.
34:53And, you know, just showcasing this mindset that I have and trying to release it into the world and so
35:03they can explore, you know, and go through my shoes and see how in the beginning, you know, I wasn't
35:12necessarily chasing applause.
35:13You know what I mean?
35:15I wasn't, I was just trying to get in, get my foot in the door and, you know, get approval,
35:20you know what I mean?
35:21And trying to build myself up.
35:23So, Divine Infinite has a whole spiritual meaning behind it and it has an acronym, A-G-Y-T, a
35:29mentee, griffin, yin, gang, a thought.
35:31It's a whole death, you know, before dishonor type thing, you know what I mean?
35:36Victory and knowledge.
35:40Now, that's interesting.
35:42This isn't Spiritual Sunday.
35:44This is Transformational Tuesday.
35:46But I was sitting down with Seisha Blanco, who is another artist who's on this series.
35:54So, y'all are watching for coaching sessions Thursday because you're from Seisha Blanco.
36:02And I talked about how being an artist, you know, a rapper, you know,
36:08sometimes our language is a little interesting.
36:12And when you're being, how do you tie that in when it comes to spirituality?
36:19The, I want to say the GOAT when it comes to that is Tupac.
36:24Like, you could be listening to his records and be like, he says some crazy things.
36:28But the way he tied into spirituality, it was just amazing.
36:38And forget about him, just him talking in general.
36:42It's just amazing.
36:43You can tell just a spiritual being.
36:46So, how important is that for you to be spiritual, which I know it's important,
36:51but just, you know, go into it a little bit more.
36:53And how do you make sure that your music aligns so that it can, you can heal and get to
37:00the people that need to get to it?
37:04So, a lot of that I owe to my mom because she is one big reason why, you know, I'm
37:09involved with my faith, you know,
37:12our Lord Jesus Christ, you know what I mean?
37:14And, you know, if it weren't for her, the lifestyle that I brought myself into when it comes to music,
37:21because there's a whole misconception where hip-hop music and rap is violent.
37:27And at the same time, you can see it, there is violence in it.
37:31But, you know, not everyone's violent.
37:35And that is longevity.
37:37That's another bit of longevity.
37:39But, you know, with me, the faith, and having that, and my cousin, you know what I mean?
37:46Them two together, I'm always getting, they'll send me scriptures, they'll send me posts and stuff like that, you know?
37:54And then when I do go to church with my daughter and stuff like that, you know, it's just,
37:59if it weren't for my mom, I don't think that'd be possible for me.
38:03So I owe it all to her, you know?
38:05I live by, you know, just being a morale person, being a good person, trying to give back to people,
38:13you know what I mean?
38:14Trying to share knowledge to folk and, you know, just try to connect and be a good guy, you know
38:20what I mean?
38:20That's what I'm all about.
38:22And in the past, you know, it was bad because, you know, I was getting out of that rut and
38:27faith wasn't there for me.
38:29But when I started listening, paid more attention, that's when I realized, you know, you look back and you see
38:37things and you're like,
38:39I could have done it different, but I'm going to do it different now, you know what I mean?
38:42I'm going to take that stance, I'm going to stand on my feet, and I'm going to approach it just
38:47like on my album, Aftermath of the Mythic, you know what I mean?
38:49I mean, one side was just that caliber, that darkness, and then one side was just enlightenment when commendation dropped,
38:57you know what I mean?
38:57It was just all about that.
38:58The whole depiction of the commendation was just so much enlightenment, you know what I mean?
39:02The green, the grass behind me, the water, you know what I mean?
39:06The bridge versus condemnation where it was just like darkness, and you can see it.
39:11You can see the shift, you know what I mean?
39:13You can see the transformation there, and it's like, if it weren't for my, like I was saying, my mom,
39:17it's not possible.
39:20But, you know, I paid attention, I listened, and, you know, I got to where I'm at.
39:24My daughter, she's heavily involved, she watches videos, you know, my mom gets her all set up, and, you know,
39:29it's an honor to, you know, to have faith like that, you know what I mean?
39:35To be a part of, you know, something that loves you, you know what I mean?
39:38Someone that loves you.
39:40I believe that every family has a chosen one.
39:43You know, you've heard this term, chosen one.
39:46There's always someone in a generation that is responsible for making sure that other generations get it.
39:57So, it sounds like maybe you have been that chosen one in your family, in your dynamic, to make sure
40:04that the spiritual aspect of that is passed on to legacy, to the next, you know, to the next generation.
40:12That's my belief.
40:14That there's always one person in the family that gets selected as the chosen one.
40:20So, that is breaking the chains, that's what I call it, breaking the chains, man.
40:29Absolutely.
40:30Absolutely.
40:31The generational curse.
40:32What?
40:33That's what I call it.
40:36On my end.
40:37Yeah, I speak about that a lot, too.
40:40And, you know, we can get on that topic, too.
40:46Breaking the generational curses when you don't know why you're different.
40:52You're called to do something different.
40:55You feel different.
40:56You know what your family does, because everybody in your family does it, but you are just that oddball.
41:02You're just that, some people call it the black sheep of the family.
41:06Something is just different about you.
41:09And even though you know it's so easy to go along and do what everybody else in the family is
41:14doing, for some reason, when you've tried it, it still didn't work for you.
41:19Either you had more obstacles.
41:20They could get away with it, but you can't.
41:23Why is it that?
41:23But so you just back away and you say, you know what, I'm not even going to do that.
41:26I'm just going to go ahead and do something a little bit different.
41:31So everyone, just think back if you were in this situation where you, you know, understood where you started to
41:38break generational curses, when you knew that, wow, I'm just doing something different.
41:42God is telling me to move in this direction, even though I know that everybody is doing that on the
41:47left.
41:48I'm going to move here and do something different.
41:50And then what happens is in the beginning, people in your family might look at you like you're crazy, like,
41:57all right, whatever, you know, this one is an oddball or this one is, you know, square or whatever.
42:03But then things start to shift.
42:07It's just this spiritual shift where people start to say, OK, wait a minute, he might be on to something.
42:14She might be on to something.
42:16Maybe I should start paying attention.
42:17So I don't know if you've experienced anything like that, but that's just, you know, again, what I believe when
42:26it comes to breaking generational curses.
42:30I love that.
42:32I love that because that's so true, man.
42:35So now let's talk about your album.
42:40Give me.
42:42Give me your favorite, your top three records, just the titles and stuff.
42:48Individual songs or just the whole thing, whole project.
42:51Individual songs off of this new album.
42:55This one here, Glitch, Aftermath Intro and Inept.
43:01OK, so let's talk about Glitch.
43:03What's the concept behind that?
43:06So Glitch was all based on a quote seen on Facebook that my teacher posted.
43:12And, you know, when I look back at it, it forced me to to make something similar to a song
43:20I made in the past, which was Imprint.
43:24And so it was like wanting that same vibe, bring it back with better vocals, you know, better ways to
43:34approach it with, you know, high quality beats and stuff like that.
43:38So and basically the whole song is about me being a glitch when it comes to reality.
43:44You know what I mean?
43:45Like there's that movie.
43:48It's a kid's movie.
43:51And there I think it's Wreck-It Ralph or it's one of the ones with Penelope.
43:55I forgot.
43:56Penelope, she's the glitch in the game.
43:58You know what I mean?
43:59She's cruising around a little car.
44:00She's glitching out.
44:01You know what I mean?
44:01I see myself like that.
44:02You know what I mean?
44:04And I have to put myself out there and show people that, you know, it's OK to be different in
44:13a world where they want you to be normal.
44:16You know what I mean?
44:17But I'm not talking different as in like being crazy or anything like that.
44:21I'm talking different as in being just artistically.
44:23You know what I mean?
44:24Showcasing your ability and choosing because it's a choice to sit there and invest your money into putting in for
44:31a beat to get a license or to sit there.
44:33And reflect on a song and sit there and write that song because it takes hours before it's even saying,
44:41you know what I mean?
44:42And so Glitch shows me as a person who, you know, just works outside the normal realm of things.
44:51That's what's up.
44:52I love how you go into detail, too, about the things that, you know, it takes with the licensing and
45:01however long it takes to write this and upgrading, looking back at what you've been through or how you recorded
45:09or what the process was before.
45:11And let's do a 2.0 version.
45:13Let's do something different.
45:14Of course, you know, you know, transforming into something a little bit bigger and better.
45:20So I like that.
45:21And then you had another record that you spoke about.
45:25What was it, Inept or?
45:27Another song on there was Inept, you know what I mean?
45:29Just it's a whole lot of just becoming like you're a stain, you know what I mean?
45:36Everything and everything you put out, you know what I mean?
45:39Just there's just nothing to it.
45:41And it seems like you're just you're speaking to, you know, you're not speaking to anybody.
45:48And so I look back at that and that's what made us make a new dawn for my cousin.
45:55You know what I mean?
45:55Because it helped me learn and figure out that not everything needs applause, you know what I mean?
46:05Not everything needs approval.
46:07And you have to be the one who brings that to the table.
46:13And so Inept was all about that.
46:16I know that's right.
46:17Kind of a hint.
46:20A hint to new dawn.
46:22I know that's right.
46:23That it's, there's a record that I listed as a gospel song.
46:31It was one of my song of the days on the series to encourage yourself.
46:36Because you know what?
46:37Sometimes you got to pat yourself on your own back.
46:42Because ain't nobody going to do it for you.
46:45When you sit around and you put stuff out on social media.
46:48When you, you know, hang around certain people wanting somebody to big you up.
46:53Wanting somebody to compliment you on, you know, your swag, what you have.
46:57You knew, you knew.
46:59When you walk around like that, you're setting yourself up for a disaster.
47:03But if you go ahead and do it for yourself.
47:05Like, listen, I know that I'm rocking this.
47:08I know that I just killed that beat.
47:10I know that I just, you know, when I walk into a situation, I know all eyes are going to
47:16be on me.
47:17Not that you're being conceited or anything like that.
47:19But sometimes you just got to pat yourself on your own back and say, okay, I got this.
47:25You know, I'm going to write this book.
47:27I'm going to put this new album out.
47:29And it's going to be fire.
47:31And I know that as long as you rock into it and you're like, yeah, I like this.
47:35And this is it.
47:36This is lit.
47:38But all right, job done accomplished as long as you're happy with it.
47:41When you stare in that mirror, people, you know, ladies and gentlemen, we're speaking about Transformational Tuesday.
47:49When you stare in that mirror, whatever is looking back at you, is it going to be a smile?
47:57Or is it going to be a friend?
48:00Sometimes you have to pat yourself on your own back.
48:03Sometimes you have to smile, look at yourself in the mirror and say, you know what, you are amazing.
48:07You are ham, you are fly, everything.
48:11So, yeah, that's what I think that is.
48:16So, I like that.
48:17That's awesome.
48:17Yeah.
48:18That's awesome.
48:22All right.
48:22So, before we get out of here, I can't believe, you know, it's been, you know, we've got to go
48:28and pay bills soon.
48:29So, let everybody know your name.
48:32You know, just run it down again where they can get your new album and all of those things.
48:38My name is Arminio Trujillo.
48:42My artistry name is Divine Infinite.
48:45And the next edition will be a book by the time I'm 30 years old.
48:51And that'll be just a year and a half, two years.
48:53And we're going to release The Return, our first ever spiritual album, My Cousin.
49:00So, you guys can tune in on the master link on Instagram.
49:04So, just check everything out and I'll keep everybody updated.
49:08And much love, everybody.
49:10It was an honor to be on this show.
49:12And I just want to say I love everybody.
49:14My parents, if it weren't for, you know, the way they raised me and, you know, my aunties and everyone
49:20around me in my circle, if it weren't for them, you know, a lot of this wouldn't be possible.
49:23So, I thank everybody and I appreciate everyone.

51:23That is the official 4-in-1 podcast hotline.
51:26Head on over to LarenGaines.com.
51:29So, sign up for that free 15-minute consultation if you are interested in learning more about debt-free living.
51:37That's what we speak about here.
51:40We speak about debt-free living from the spiritual, from the mental, physical, and the financial aspects.
51:47And the physical.
51:50You got to do something different.
51:52If you want to be debt-free, if you just want to live a better life, it comes down to
52:01the physical aspect.
52:02You have to do something a little bit different if you want to go ahead and transform your life.
52:07And it's not going to happen just by you getting caught up in just the mental, visualizing, and thinking about
52:14what you want.
52:14That is a very important part.
52:17It's not going to change if you sit there and pray about it 24-7.
52:22Although, that is very important.
52:24And that might be something that you need to do.
52:27Pray without ceasing.
52:29But you definitely have to put the physical.
52:32You have to do something.
52:34Remember, you have to do something a little bit extra to be considered extraordinary and to get those extraordinary results.
52:43Again, head on over to laryngaines.com.
52:45If you are interested in learning more about debt-free living, you can sign up for that free 15-minute
52:52consultation.
