Text For Some Good Game

Life knocked me down hard this week. Family losses. Two sons in the hospital. Ten days that stretched into what felt like a lifetime of pain. I wasn't even planning to record today—was ready to step back, take a much-needed break, and just deal with the weight crushing down on me.

Then something happened that changed everything. I opened my messages from you—emails, DMs, voicemails from LetMePullYourCoat.com—and found something I desperately needed. Your stories poured in from across the globe. Maria in Portugal who finally left her cheating partner after hearing me say, "if you had to lie to keep him, you never really had him." Tyrone from Detroit who stopped blowing money on rims and Jordans, invested it instead, and watched his account turn green for the first time. Jasmine in Sydney who escaped years in prostitution after connecting with resources I shared. Diego launching his landscaping business in Mexico City. Aisha in Chicago protecting her daughter from online predators.

That's when it hit me—"Pain don't pause purpose." When your mission matters, it becomes the foundation that holds you up when nothing else can. I realized if my breaking helps your building, I'm exactly where I need to be. This podcast isn't just content; it's community. It's transformation happening in both directions. So I'm standing tall behind this mic, pulling coats even while my world shakes, because together we're creating something that can't be broken. Visit LetMePullYourCoat.com to join this movement—leave a message, grab some merch, check out the blog for questions we answer between episodes, and follow me across social platforms. Don't mistake a bad chapter for the end of your book. Keep turning those pages, family.

00:00:03.125 --> 00:00:07.854
Welcome back to Let Me Pull your Coat the unfiltered world of Master Silk.

00:00:07.854 --> 00:00:12.852
I gave China off this week because I didn't think that I would be able to do a podcast.

00:00:12.852 --> 00:00:14.826
I'll be 100 with you.

00:00:14.826 --> 00:00:17.829
This past week and a half has been rough.

00:00:17.829 --> 00:00:23.792
I've lost family members and right now two of my sons are in the hospital.

00:00:23.792 --> 00:00:27.429
Ten days that felt like a lifetime.

00:00:27.429 --> 00:00:31.010
I wasn't even going to sit down behind this mic today.

00:00:31.010 --> 00:00:35.652
I was ready to step back, take a break and deal with all this weight.

00:00:35.652 --> 00:00:47.231
But then I opened up my emails, my DM and the voicemails you guys left on LetMePullYourCoatcom man, the love, the prayers, the thank you messages.

00:00:47.231 --> 00:00:48.524
It hit me deep.

00:00:48.524 --> 00:00:59.868
So, instead of folding up, I'm choosing to stand tall because if my words and my stories are helping you hold on, then that's the fuel I need to keep going.

00:00:59.868 --> 00:01:09.709

00:01:49.183 --> 00:01:52.189
Let's start with some of the words you blessed me with this week.

00:01:52.189 --> 00:01:57.686
Maria from Lisbon, portugal, says Silk, I just want to thank you.

00:01:57.686 --> 00:02:03.944
Because of your advice, I walked away from a man who cheated on me over and over.

00:02:03.944 --> 00:02:09.634
You told me if you had to lie to keep him, you never really had him.

00:02:09.634 --> 00:02:11.725
That stuck with me.

00:02:11.725 --> 00:02:16.050
I left, found my peace and I'm better for it.

00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:21.849
Tyrone from Detroit says Big bro, you saved me thousands.

00:02:21.849 --> 00:02:29.373
You told us on the pod to stop blowing money on rims and Jordans and instead throw it into stocks and investments.

00:02:29.373 --> 00:02:30.745
I did it.

00:02:30.745 --> 00:02:37.911
I contacted the companies you hooked me up with and for the first time in my life, my account is in the green.

00:02:37.911 --> 00:02:40.266
I'm eating because of your words.

00:02:41.120 --> 00:02:49.002
Jasmine from Sydney, australia, left a voail saying Silk, your podcast gave me the courage to leave the streets.

00:02:49.002 --> 00:02:52.349
I was trapped in prostitution for years.

00:02:52.349 --> 00:02:58.449
You said you used to invest in your workers, that you helped them leave with homes, cars, businesses.

00:02:58.449 --> 00:02:59.953
I felt seen.

00:02:59.953 --> 00:03:07.792
I contacted you and I followed that blueprint and now I'm enrolled in school and building a new life.

00:03:07.792 --> 00:03:09.074
Thank you.

00:03:09.074 --> 00:03:14.331
When I hear stuff like that, it reminds me why I sit down at this mic every week.

00:03:14.331 --> 00:03:23.072
My life might be breaking apart around me right now, but if my breaking helps you build, then I'm doing my job.

00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:26.709
Diego from Mexico City sent an email.

00:03:26.709 --> 00:03:31.230
It says your talk about business ownership lit a fire in me.

00:03:31.230 --> 00:03:36.128
I stopped waiting for the government, stopped waiting for my job to treat me right.

00:03:36.128 --> 00:03:41.893
I started my own landscaping business and now I'm putting food on my family's table on my own terms.

00:03:42.939 --> 00:03:45.526
Aisha from Chicago left a voicemail.

00:03:45.526 --> 00:03:53.889
She states you gave me the courage to tell my daughter the truth about men manipulating her online.

00:03:53.889 --> 00:03:58.104
Your words stopped her from running off with some fool Silk.

00:03:58.104 --> 00:03:59.887
You don't just pull coats.

00:03:59.887 --> 00:04:03.472
You save families, especially mine.

00:04:03.472 --> 00:04:05.615
Thank you so very much.

00:04:06.280 --> 00:04:11.967
Kevin from Toronto says you told us to invest in ourselves before investing in stocks.

00:04:11.967 --> 00:04:14.407
I got therapy fixed, my credit.

00:04:14.407 --> 00:04:16.026
Then I started investing.

00:04:16.026 --> 00:04:19.108
Now I feel like a man who's finally in control.

00:04:19.108 --> 00:04:21.166
I really appreciate you.

00:04:21.166 --> 00:04:23.767
Now let me pull your coat for real.

00:04:23.767 --> 00:04:26.127
Here's your coat pull of the week.

00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:28.307
Pain don't pause purpose.

00:04:28.307 --> 00:04:38.752
Life will hit you with death, betrayal, hospital beds, heartbreak, but if your purpose is real, it'll hold you up when nothing else can.

00:04:38.752 --> 00:04:42.108
Don't confuse a bad chapter with the end of the book.

00:04:42.108 --> 00:04:43.925
Keep turning the pages.

00:04:43.925 --> 00:04:46.007
I'm living that right now.

00:04:46.007 --> 00:04:55.923
My family situation hurts, but my purpose is bigger than my pain and I want you to remember that when you feel like quitting.

00:04:56.865 --> 00:05:00.432
Shout out to Tasha in Atlanta repping the hoodie.

00:05:00.432 --> 00:05:05.894
Omar in Munden, who grabbed the cap and posted a pic outside big Ben.

00:05:05.894 --> 00:05:10.466
Keisha in Houston, who said this podcast saved her marriage.

00:05:10.466 --> 00:05:15.339
Manisha in India, rocking the tour jacket from her wheelchair.

00:05:15.339 --> 00:05:18.004
Salute to you, queen.

00:05:18.004 --> 00:05:26.055

00:05:30.783 --> 00:05:31.906
Cop the merch.

00:05:31.906 --> 00:05:36.146
Read the blogs, leave a review, hit the video page.

00:05:36.146 --> 00:05:37.425
Don't just listen.

00:05:37.425 --> 00:05:39.927
Be part of the movement Family.

00:05:39.927 --> 00:05:42.588
I can't tell you how grateful I am.

00:05:42.588 --> 00:05:57.170
I sat here thinking I couldn't record today, but you and your words, your gratitude, your love reminded me why I started this podcast in the first place.

00:05:57.170 --> 00:06:09.286
Every story of someone breaking free, building wealth or finding peace, lets me know this ain't just entertainment, this is healing, this is legacy.

00:06:09.286 --> 00:06:19.663
So, no matter what falls apart in my world, I'm staying right here pulling coats, because together we're building something that can't be broken.

00:06:19.663 --> 00:06:24.149
Stay strong, stay sharp until next time.

00:06:24.149 --> 00:06:27.149
Much love and much respect.
