We open the mics to the world and let real voices share how tough truths turned into action. Love, money, integrity, and identity collide in stories of leaving, rebuilding, and choosing patience over noise.

• global voicemails spanning Houston to Hong Kong
• leaving narcissists and controlling partners
• patient investing, debt payoff, and side hustles
• business boundaries, paperwork, and family betrayal
• fighting smart with documentation and agencies
• identity shifts from survival to purpose
• gratitude as calibration, integrity over applause
• community shout-outs, links, and how to share your story

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.879
Welcome to Let Me Pull Your Coat, the Unfiltered World of Master Silk.

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:10.080
I must first apologize for the sound quality of this particular podcast.

00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:15.359
I had to download a new editing software in order to upload each individual voicemail.

00:00:15.519 --> 00:00:23.120
While trying to enhance their sound and remove the background noises, it made each voicemail sound a little off.

00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:26.800
Again, I apologize in advance.

00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.839
Now that that's out of the way, let's get it.

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.240
Tonight's episode is different.

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:37.280
The mics are open, but this time, the world's doing the talking.

00:00:37.520 --> 00:00:45.439
From Houston to Hong Kong, from Paris to Pretoria, real people, real stories, real results.

00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:49.119
They reached out after hearing something that changed their direction.

00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:57.840
So, sit back, pour a glass, light one if you've got it, because tonight, we're celebrating the voices that pulled their own coats.

00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:02.320
Before we roll the first voicemail, head over to letmepullyourcoat.com.

00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:13.920

And wherever you listen to podcasts, share this episode with two people who could use a reminder that change is possible when truth meets action.

00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:35.359
Now, let's hear from the family.

00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:37.599
I'm Kendra from Houston.

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:43.519
I called to thank you, Master Soak in China, for helping me leave a man who was emotionally draining me.

00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:51.760
I used to think I couldn't survive without him, but your episode on narcissist made me realize that love doesn't mean losing yourself.

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:57.359
I packed my things, moved out, and I've never been this peaceful in years.

00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:02.480
I'm going back to school now, and I'll finally sleep without checking his phone.

00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.359
Thank you for teaching me that peace is the real prize.

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:07.920
Bonjour, I am Alev from Paris.

00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:11.840
I was listening to your podcast during my morning train commute.

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.960
You talk about investment and respect like poetry.

00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:18.240
I had lost much money in quick trades, you know.

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.919
But Sir, you said patience builds empires.

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.319
I stopped chasing, started studying.

00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:28.000
Three months later, my small bakery now has investors.

00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:29.840
And I trade with discipline.

00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:37.919
Merci, my brother, and China, your confidence and private phone sessions gave my wife the courage to open her new salon.

00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.479
This is Nia from Johannesburg.

00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.319
How you say, I used to walk the streets.

00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:49.520
Every night, same corner, same lie, same regret.

00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:56.479
Then one night I heard China say, you are not what you sell, you are what you survive.

00:02:56.719 --> 00:02:58.240
I cried that night.

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.159
I reached out to your website, and you actually wrote back.

00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:08.159
Today I'm working at a women's shelter, saving money and studying finance.

00:03:08.639 --> 00:03:11.840
I never thought I'd be free, but I am.

00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:15.120
Thank you for seeing me before I saw myself.

00:03:15.439 --> 00:03:18.400
This is Terrence from the South Side of Chicago.

00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:22.719
I call to thank you for your advice on dealing with family betrayal.

00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:26.719
My own cousin tried to ruin my business by lying to clients.

00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.960
Silk, when you said loyalty is proven when money's involved, that hit me.

00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.120
I cut the dead weight, handled my paperwork, and focused on growth.

00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.240
My business has doubled since then.

00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:43.520
You saved me from destroying myself trying to save ungrateful blood.

00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:44.479
Hello.

00:03:45.199 --> 00:03:48.080
This is Mari from Tokyo.

00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:52.560
My English not perfect, but I want to say thank you.

00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:58.240
My husband was how you say, controlling, always shouting.

00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:03.840
China, when you speak about finding voice and not fear, I listened.

00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:07.680
I left, I take my child, I go.

00:04:08.319 --> 00:04:09.919
We live quiet now.

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.960
You remind me that silence can also be strength.

00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:19.040
You say it more than me, you said myself childhood.

00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.759
This is Maria from Sao Paulo.

00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.279
I just want to say, Silk, you the truth.

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:30.160
I had racist neighbors throwing trash in my yard for months.

00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.560
You told a story about the fighting smart, not loud.

00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:39.680
I filed complaints, documented everything, and waited.

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:42.720
They got evicted last month.

00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:46.160
I didn't need to lose my peace to prove a point.

00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:48.720
Respect from Brazil.

00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:51.759
Hi there, I'm Claire from London.

00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:55.120
I wanted to thank you for helping me with my daughter.

00:04:55.360 --> 00:05:02.000
She lied to social services and tried to have me arrested because she wanted to run off with some wanker.

00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:03.680
I was broken.

00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.160
But you said a parent's love doesn't require permission.

00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:12.399
I stopped begging her to come home and started living my life again.

00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:18.800
She came back three months later, pregnant, scared, but ready to make things right.

00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.720
Thank you both for keeping me from losing myself to guilt.

00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.839
This is Devon from the Bronx.

00:05:26.000 --> 00:05:30.319
I was deep in debt, lost my car, about to lose my apartment and my family.

00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:35.759
I heard your finance episode where you said, if you can budget the streets, you can budget a business.

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.759
That live flipped a switch.

00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.160
I started a detailing side hustle.

00:05:40.319 --> 00:05:44.560
Four months later, I'm debt-free, with savings for the first time in years.

00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.360
He kept it real and everyone else told me to give up.

00:05:47.680 --> 00:05:50.959
Hello my people, this is Kojo Koning from Accra.

00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.800
I just want to thank you for the wisdom you give.

00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:58.399
I used to think stock investing was for white people.

00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.439
But Sue, you break it down so simple.

00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:03.839
I start small with local banks.

00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:06.959
Now I teach my friends how to grow wealth too.

00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:11.279
China, you said don't let fear dress like humility.

00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.839
I hear that every day.

00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.240
God bless both of you.

00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:17.199
What's up?

00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.600
This is Jasmine out of Los Angeles.

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:22.240
I just wanted to call and thank both of y'all.

00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:26.959
I was tripping, trying to pay rent and take care of my son.

00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:27.920
China.

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:34.879
You were raw about your story, about how you left that life and built something bigger.

00:06:35.120 --> 00:06:39.199
You said the streets don't owe you, but your future does.

00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.040
That stuck.

00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:44.879
A heat show up and still connected me with a mentor.

00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.759
Now I'm enrolled in real estate courses.

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.360
My son sees a different version of me now.

00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:53.120
I'll never forget that.

00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:55.040
Here is this week's shout-outs.

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:05.360
Big love to Brian A from Miami, Kiaomi from Singapore, Andre from Lisbon, and my forever wifey Rochelle in Kansas City, rocking the new tour jackets.

00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:08.480
Much respect to the new members who subscribe this week.

00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.240
Your support keeps the mic hot and the message moving.

00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.160
Here's your coat pull of the week.

00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:24.879
Gratitude isn't just about saying thank you, it's about recognizing the moments when truth hits you so hard it makes you rebuild yourself.

00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.839
The world is full of noise.

00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:34.800
You have people lying, fronting, pretending to clap for you while secretly hoping you fail.

00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:38.639
But when you walk in truth, the applause doesn't matter.

00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:42.720
When you move with integrity, you never have to beg for respect.

00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:53.839
So be thankful for the pain that made you grow, for the betrayal that showed you who's real, and for the peace that finally found you when you stopped chasing validation.

00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:55.920
That's what legacy really is.

00:07:56.160 --> 00:08:06.240
And if these voicemails touched you, although, no matter how hard we tried, we were able to remove the background noises, but the static remained.

00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:07.519
