Barak Swarttz

is not only an astrologist, she's a Reiki master, she studied Kabbalah and converted to Judaism, and she has allowed me to understand more about going through our past experiences in life, the things that we go through.

And it actually weaves beautifully into a lot of the stuff that I do today in terms of...

Talking about the Middle East, trying to share a different perspective on the Middle East as this basketball player, which I think is a really interesting angle to humanize things and have difficult conversations.

It makes sense from a business point of view.

And I'll tell you, Sean, like in the beginning, when after October 7th and the I word, I call it Israel, became like the headlines in the world.

It was easy when I look back at how I was acting in the beginning of like,

anger, fear, you know, having this like revenge attitude and frequency in my life and how that's evolved almost two years now into this epidemic.

But I used to not have like empathy as to why people weren't saying anything, right?

Because to me in the beginning was so quote unquote obvious, which is an unfair thing to do because people have way more baggage than what you see

at face value on social media that might be keeping them tied down from speaking up on something that they actually don't have the right access to the information for.

So like, I don't really necessarily go into that blaming situation anymore.

Just because somebody hasn't said anything doesn't mean that they don't care, right?

Because there's so many other things happening across the world that maybe I haven't posted yet about on my social media.

I just don't know enough about it.

So it doesn't feel right for me.

So that could be them about Israel-Palestine.

You are your algorithm.

You are your timeline.

And the timelines that we have now, I mean, look, when you bought that iPhone and I got this iPhone and we downloaded iOS and we pressed the agree button, it's listening to you.
