00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,159
Speaker 1: Yes, And I want to start off with how you

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: even conceived of this because when I first met Nicole,

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 1: she was always connecting people. Like we said, she's a

13
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: Wall Street executive, so she has a lot of corporate

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: people that she works with, but she also has a

15
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: lot of talent that she works with, a lot of creators,

16
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: and so for a lot of times you've been bringing

17
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: people together.

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: And I'm like, this is a whole agency.

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, And she's right like as and I met and

20
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 4: I you know, connected you with her connected everybody.

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:00:59,279
Speaker 5: That was my life.

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 4: I always connecting the Master Connector. So I've been at

23
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 4: Wall Street for twenty years and through my whole career,

24
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 4: I was always connecting people. If you say, hey, I

25
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 4: want to be on the radio, I'm like, oh, I know,

26
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 4: can you put my friend out here? Or if you

27
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 4: say you're in the food business, I know a couple

28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 4: of restaurant owners. So I would always connect people all

29
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 4: the time, but I never knew what I should do

30
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 4: with that and my whole life, people always said you

31
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,839
Speaker 4: need to start a business because you know so many

32
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 4: powerful people, not just like you said in the industry

33
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 4: on Wall Street and corporate.

34
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 5: But I said, well, what does that mean? How do

35
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 5: I start a business?

36
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 4: And I don't have a product because most people have products,

37
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 4: right like they'll have they're selling shirts, or they have

38
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 4: makeup lines. I was like, what does that mean to

39
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 4: start a business without having a tangible product?

40
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 5: And God gave me a vision.

41
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 4: He said, You're going to curate a room that you're

42
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 4: going to bring together your network. Your network is filled

43
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: of corporate executives, industry leaders, influencers, CEOs. So thirty days

44
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 4: after you gave me the vision, I was like, Okay,

45
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 4: I'm going to curate a room.

46
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 5: It's called in the room where the deals are made.

47
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 4: So I create a space where I bring together corporate executives,

48
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 4: industry leaders, CEOs, entrepreneurs, everybody that's doing their thing in

49
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 4: their field, and I feel like we each need each

50
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 4: other because when I would go to corporate events, I

51
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 4: wouldn't see my industry friends there, and when I would

52
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 4: industry event, I wouldn't see my corporate watree friends there.

53
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 4: So I wanted to bring us all together because I

54
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 4: felt like business could be done in these rooms, and

55
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 4: we need each other to get deals.

56
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: Done, and it all complement each other a lot of

57
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: the different things that we do. It's like, Okay, well,

58
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: Angela's looking for you know, this investor for one of

59
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: her businesses.

60
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: Let me see if I could connect it with this person.

61
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: Or this person's trying to get a guest speaker to

62
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: do X, Y and Z, Well, let me see if

63
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: I can help them find the right person, because you

64
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: also know everybody's bios.

65
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, And also what I noticed is, like corporate executives,

66
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 4: we need industry leaders. We need people that are out

67
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 4: on the community to help push our products, to get

68
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 4: the information out there, to say how wonderful we are.

69
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 4: Because every brand wants to be the brand of choice.

70
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 3: Talk more about that, because when you hear about these rooms,

71
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 3: you think, oh, that's just for big shots. The corporate

72
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 3: America needs community people as much as community people need

73
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: that opening.

74
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly, You're spot on the corporate executives.

75
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 4: We need industry leaders, influencers, people out in the community

76
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 4: to talk about how good our products are. Every every

77
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: corporation wants to be the corporation of choice. So if

78
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 4: you have somebody out there and you're doing a business

79
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 4: and they're coming to your events, they're like, oh, I

80
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: went to way Up, I had a beautiful experience and

81
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 4: greeting me with water.

82
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 5: They took care of me, right, So we all want people.

83
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: To don't get we don't get water water. Don't be

84
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: putting that out there.

85
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 4: But I'm just saying, like when you when you have

86
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 4: a good company and people are out talking about your business,

87
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: it helps you helps business succeed.

88
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 5: It's all about word of.

89
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 4: Mouth as well as influencers and industry people need corporations

90
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 4: because we can help with funding, we can help with sponsorship,

91
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 4: we can help with broaden your connections, we can help

92
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 4: with business acumens.

93
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 5: So both entities need each other.

94
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting too, is monetizing something like this

95
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: because I feel like sometimes we don't realize the connections

96
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: that we have that we bring to the table is

97
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: something that can be monetized. Sometimes we do things just

98
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: as a favor, like let me introduce you to this

99
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: person and hook it up.

100
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: And then now they go on and do a deal.

101
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: But maybe you're not benefiting from that at all, But

102
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 1: you made the initial introduction that made it happen.

103
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: Can you talk about that?

104
00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 5: Yeah?

105
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 4: And and Andy, who you just had up here or

106
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 4: she was one of the first people to show me

107
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: my worth in connecting people. So somebody reached out to

108
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 4: me that had a conference and they said, Nicole, can

109
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 4: you help me with some powerful women.

110
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 5: To speak at my conference.

111
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 4: At first I was like, I know a lot of

112
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 4: powerful but that I had to figu out the right

113
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 4: people to be a part of.

114
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 5: This conference is a huge conference.

115
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: And I reached out to three people and I asked

116
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 4: them all their fee, and I got everybody their fee.

117
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 5: Okay, what's your speaking fee? What's this?

118
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 4: What's just charges? Doing all these deal transactions and helping

119
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: just my friends. I didn't even think about me getting paid.

120
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 4: So Yandy said, well what's your fee? And I said,

121
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 4: what do you mean? She said, how much are you charging?

122
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: I mean, what's your fee for getting me booked to

123
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 4: do this, and I said, oh, I don't charge fee.

124
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 4: He's like, I'm connecting, you're my friend, Like I'm putting

125
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 4: you in this room. I'm giving you this opportunity. I've

126
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: always led with how I can help people, how I

127
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 4: can get them opportunities. I never thought about little old me.

128
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 4: And so she said what's your fee? And I said

129
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 4: what does that mean? And I said what do people charge?

130
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 4: She said, you can do anywhere between ten to twenty percent.

131
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 4: I would say ten, because you're new at this. I said, okay,

132
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 4: so you're gonna give me ten percent, I'll take it right.

133
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 4: So and so she gave me ten percent, and every

134
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 4: deal that I got her from more she always gives

135
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 4: me ten percent of her deal and it's just from

136
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 4: getting her in the rooms. And then I said, oh,

137
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 4: so people get paid for this. So she opened my

138
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: mind up to that, you know, getting paid for my connections.

139
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: Right, it's like a booking fee.

140
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 4: It's a booking fee, and if a deal is made,

141
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 4: then I get ten percent of that too, because I'm

142
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 4: putting I'm giving you opportunities. And that's the important of

143
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: being in the right room, because you can meet somebody

144
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 4: that can grow your network, your net worth, your business

145
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 4: just by being in the right room and being introduced.

146
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 3: So if I'm listening to this, it's like, this sounds

147
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: like it's for you know people at a certain level.

148
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 3: One it's not. And two they can actually work with

149
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 3: you when you have a service that people can actually

150
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: subscribe to. Yes.

151
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 4: So one, I created the in the room, so it's

152
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 4: it's an event that I host in person.

153
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 5: But people wanted more. They're like, well, how did I

154
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,440

Speaker 5: I always say your network, your network, and your business.

187
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: Wow. A lot of people when they hear things like this,

188
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: you're gonna introduce them to partners, potential mentors, and they

189
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 3: go into these rooms and they think about, Okay, what

190
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 3: am I going to get? What am I going to get?

191
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 3: But You're like, flip that script a little bit and

192
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: think about what you're gonna bring ring.

193
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 4: Yes, that's one of the top keys to networking. I

194
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 4: tell people all the time, lead with how you can help.

195
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: These rooms are powerful rooms. I had CEOs in this room.

196
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: I had venture capitalists, people that had multi mayion dollars

197
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 4: willing to invest. I had executive c suite and above

198
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 4: decision makers, meaning that you want a job, you can

199
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 4: go straight to them. I call it the cheat code,

200
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 4: meaning that you're talking to the person that you don't

201
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 4: have to go through the PR the admin, the behind

202
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: the scenes people, through the red tape. But I tell

203
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 4: people lead with how you can offer help to someone,

204
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 4: because a lot of times, I want to say, ninety

205
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 4: percent of the time, if I meet Angela, I'm like,

206
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: oh my god, I want to be on your radio show?

207
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 4: Versus what are you working on? What are your GOALRO

208
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,119
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five? How can I add value?

209
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 3: Is?

210
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 5: What is your plan?

211
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 4: I always leave with value with people. Anybody I met.

212
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 4: Everybody can say that when they've met me, Yeah, like

213
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 4: how can I help you?

214
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 5: Right, It's like, what are you working on?

215
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: Oh?

216
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 4: You want to speak on JP? Okay, you want to

217
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 4: speak on a platform. I'm gonna see who I know

218
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: on that platform. So I always have with value and

219
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 4: I think that comes back to your fold because always

220
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 4: leaved with how you can help versus what can I

221
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 4: get from you?

222
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: And it's so important for our community to get into

223
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: these rooms. We don't have access to this route these.

224
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: Ass and we do make such a big splast when

225
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: we are in these rooms.

226
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 2: I think people are really excited.

227
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: You know, Nicole's had me out of some of her

228
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: networking events also, and it's always been like I walk

229
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: away with a whole bunch of different new connections. I

230
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: even meet people who are like, oh, I reached out

231
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: to you on LinkedIn, I didn't hear back, but here

232
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 1: you are in person. Yeah, And so it's like a

233
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,079
Speaker 1: real life LinkedIn vibe in the rooms. I mean, it's amazing,

234
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's just incredible because it's all people

235
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 1: who I think when you go into rooms like this,

236
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: it's also important because these are all people who are

237
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: very ambitious. Because it's one thing to want to do something,

238
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: it's another thing to get out and do it. And

239
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: so all these people are there for the purpose of

240
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: trying to grow whatever it is that they want to do.

241
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: But also there's people in the room that want to

242
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: help you grow whatever it is that you're trying to do,

243
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: so that's equally important. And it's interesting because I know

244
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: Yandy and you, like you said, have work together closely.

245
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: And I was with her earlier and she was talking

246
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: about just the feeling that people are having right now

247
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 1: who are business owners, who are entrepreneurs, who are creators,

248
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 1: how right now they're feeling like, Ooh, what's the government

249
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: about to do for us?

250
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 2: We have to figure out how to.

251
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: Make things happen more on our own because they're not

252
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: going to be looking out for us. What do you

253
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: feel like is the sentiment around that right now?

254
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

255
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 4: I always say work with people that celebrate you. Focus

256
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: on people that focus on you. Don't like, look for

257
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 4: your tribe, look for people that light up when they

258
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 4: see look for people that want to help you. And

259
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 4: I tell everybody that go where you're celebrated, not where

260
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 4: you're tolerated. And I think right now even more so,

261
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: like I'm building this community of powerful people that have

262
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 4: seats at the table to help us all grow our network,

263
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 4: our network, and our business. And I stand on that

264
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 4: because everybody that's in these rooms. I want to say,

265
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 4: ninety percent of these rooms haven't seen the table, which is

266
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 4: important and a lot of us don't have access to that.

267
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 4: I always tell people the last event, the first event

268
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 4: I did, I had the mayor come up talk to

269
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 4: take thanking me for lunch of my business in Atlanta

270
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 4: and Land. I had the old mayor of Atlanta in

271
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 4: the room as well. I had CEOs in the room.

272
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 4: I had executive from Fortune five hundred companies. I had influencers,

273
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 4: I had famous people, I had real estate.

274
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 5: Like the room had a caveat of people that you

275
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 5: just don't.

276
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 3: Normally want to entrepreneurs.

277
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 4: And entrepreneurs, yes, successful business owners and new business owners,

278
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: and you just don't walk into a room that has

279
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 4: that caliber of people of different backgrounds. Usually if you

280
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 4: go to a certain function, it's always you know, sports,

281
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 4: entertainment or music or finance or law.

282
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 5: Like this room had everybody in there.

283
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: And playing off what Angela was saying about how people

284
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: are feeling like it's we really got to come together.

285
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 3: You had an event right after the election November seventh

286
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 3: that kind of lived that home for you.

287
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so what's interesting because I had the event

288
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 4: November seventh. The election was the number fifth, and so

289
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 4: many people were like, they don't know if they're gonna

290
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 4: come because their mood was just not.

291
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 5: Where they wanted to need them. I need a moment, right.

292
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 4: I had the chairwoman of Black Lives Matter come to

293
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 4: my event, and she's in that space right like you're

294
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 4: fighting for us on the front lines every day. And

295
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 4: she said, nicoll I wasn't going to come to this event,

296
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 4: but when I tell you, I thank you for coming

297
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 4: to this event because it was the room was so

298
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 4: warm and welcoming. Everybody was there to help. Everybody knew

299
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 4: they were there the network, so the guard was down.

300
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: And she said it was just so powerful and pactful

301
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 4: being around all this black excellence all at once.

302
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 5: I needed this.

303
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 4: She needed that room's public first spirits and she made

304
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 4: some dynamic connections for what she's doing.

305
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 5: So I think one havn't even I know.

306
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 4: November seven was a gamble, right, I'm like, oh, I'm

307
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 4: gonna be celebrating and I was like, okay, well, I'm sorry,

308
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 4: but the energy in the room, the power of the room,

309
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 4: all the black excellence in the room, everybody loved it.

310
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I feel like we can be discouraged right now.

311
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: I know it was a big story about Walmart and

312
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 1: how they're getting rid of their whole many companies, yes,

313
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: so many companies are and obviously Walmart's a huge one, right,

314
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: and a lot of people who have initiatives or they

315
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: had funding set aside and now everybody's like, oh, ain't

316
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: got I do that nowhere, right, And they're also even

317
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: trying to make it illegal for you to even you know,

318
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: give grant money yea to you know, people of color,

319
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: to black owned businesses.

320
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 3: To one penalized colleges and universities, right.

321
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: And so it's a different world.

322
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of that going on, and I

323
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: know it can feel like a discouraging time, but I

324
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: think it's even more important that we have things like

325
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: this and things like the Master Connector who can actually

326
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: still help navigate through a system that even if you're

327
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: trying to make us not able to do things or

328
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: put obstacles in our way, we're still able to get

329
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: it done with community.

330
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 4: Yes, exactly, get it done with the community. It's called

331
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 4: the Connectors community. And like I just said, I know

332
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 4: a ton of people. So if you're working on something,

333
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 4: do you feel subscourverage you reach out to me, especially

Speaker 4: My whole life, everybody's been telling me to start this business.

470
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,239
Speaker 4: But again, I didn't know what that looked like, what

471
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 4: that meant, because I didn't have a tangible product. So

472
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 4: I'm like, Okay, how do I start a business because

473
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 4: I know Edge, Yee or ye, and you're all these

474
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 4: phenomenal people. And so he said, you're gonna create this

475
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 4: room to charge you be in this room. This room's

476
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 4: gonna add value. The sole mission of this room. What

477
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 4: I want to happen is they came to the Master

478
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 4: Connector Agency and it changed your life. It impacted your life.

479
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 4: I always say, meeting the right person could change your life.

480
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 4: Be in the right room could change your life. So

481
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 4: this whole thing is to help my community build their

482
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 4: network and help them grow their business, their network and

483
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 4: their net worth. And I give networking tips at the

484
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 4: event so that people that are shy, like you know,

485
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 4: stand office.

486
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, Well with the.

487
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: Com people, I always say, that's really tough for them

488
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: to go into a room full of people that they

489
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: don't know.

490
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 2: Or you may feel a little uncomfortable. You may feel

491
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 2: like do I belong here?

492
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: And so even being able to approach someone is not

493
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: an easy thing.

494
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 3: We have at Ashley and Nicole who said that she's shy.

495
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 3: You never guess it, but she's shy. So she every

496
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 3: time she goes to an event, she's like, you're gonna

497
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 3: talk to three people?

498
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 5: That's smart.

499
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, picking a number.

500
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 4: People also even call me and said with the confidence thing.

501
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 4: They're saying, Nicole, you're around all these powerful people, or

502
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 4: you're on the wall street. I don't belong in that room.

503
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 4: I'm like, you belong in any room that you go.

504
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 4: And when you get in there, you leave with a compliment.

505
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 4: Everybody loves the compliment.

506
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 5: That's the first icebreaker. Oh I love your hair, I

507
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 5: love your shoes, I love your bag.

508
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 4: And then if they say okay, thanks, and it's like, okay,

509
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 4: are you from around this area?

510
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,239
Speaker 5: Then you figure out where they're from.

511
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 4: You try to find a common piece to keep the

512
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 4: conversation going, and then leave with that value. You can add,

513
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 4: oh what field are you in? Oh I'm in I'm

514
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,959
Speaker 4: in let's say restaurant business.

515
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 5: Oh well, I love to cook this.

516
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 4: Or I know somebody that will love to try your food,

517
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 4: or I know somebody that could be a food critic.

518
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: Right, figure out how you can find those coffee company.

519
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 2: I love to have my coffee in your restaurant.

520
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 5: Exactly right, exactly in case everybody.

521
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 3: Angela has a coffee company and she's gonna be at

522
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 3: the conferences Connected.

523
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 4: Agency November and November, Angela will be there. But yeah,

524
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 4: it's just finding those finding those common pieces. But I

525
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 4: want to create a room that I'm impacting and helping

526
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 4: my community. That's the best thing that I could do.

527
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 4: Now we do networking bingo, which is fun. My girlfriend

528
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 4: Bass puts it on, so you walk around and try

529
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 4: to fill your bingo cut out and you win a prize.

530
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 4: So that's another way to encourage people to network because

531
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 4: I tell people when they come in these rooms, I

532
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 4: have executs is that are vice presidents and above in

533
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 4: this room, but you don't know what they look like, right,

534
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 4: so people will run to the Angela ye'es or the

535
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 4: y andes or the etis because they know what they

536
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 4: look like. But I'm like the person, get offer your

537
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 4: job and a success story from my last event, I

538
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 4: had a CEO of a major company there and they

539
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 4: didn't know who they were, but they were a CEO

540
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 4: and they talked to them and now they have an

541
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 4: interview next week. So yeah, they have an interview next

542
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 4: week to potentially have a job that's going to change

543
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 4: your life, make an impact in their financial you know, stability.

544
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 3: So and I love this one as you're talking it doesn't.

545
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: It always matters what's going on in the external world,

546
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 3: but it doesn't matter as much when you're in these

547
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 3: communities and getting it done together in the world. The

548
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 3: world is going to change all the time around you.

549
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 3: But I love how you're just bringing people together in

550
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 3: a safe.

551
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 5: Space and a safe space.

Speaker 2: Master connector is the master Connector.

565
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: It kind of reminds me of you know, just like

566
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: I said, monetizing these connections. I think Steve Stout was

567
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: one of the people who really was great at doing

568
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: things like that because he would he would kind of

569
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: match up different people with different corporations and help them

570
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,640
Speaker 1: understand the value of you know, because understanding the value

571
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: of who certain people are. Also, sometimes people try to

572
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 1: not give you your value of what you're worth, and

573
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: the co will fight for that for you and be like, well,

574
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: this person gets this, but this person deserves to have X,

575
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: Y and Z. Well, I don't know if you know

576
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 1: their number. It's like, it's nice to have people speak

577
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: for you even when you're not in the room that

578
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: can really advocate for you.

579
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 3: And that think how much time we spend as entrepreneurs

580
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 3: trying to meet that person or trying to get to

581
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: that person the phone calls, the emails.

582
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why people like your tickets are so cheap

583
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 4: one hundred dollars to meet a CEO.

584
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 5: And I'm like, I'm keeping it that way. They're going

585
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 5: up the right, they're going up. But it's the facult

586
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 5: you said, it's cutting off the red tape. It's I

587
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 5: call it the cheek call.

588
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 4: You're in the room with the decision makers that offer

589
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 4: you opportunities, and Angel's right, I do fight for my people,

590
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 4: like I say, like, well, this is her value.

591
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 5: I'm yes, fighting for stagey too.

592
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 4: But pay people there will pay people their value because

593
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 4: people work hard, right, and don't try to discount somebody

594
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 4: or because they're my friend.

595
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 5: No, this is what she charges, this is what her prices,

596
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 5: this is what she deserves.

597
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,199
Speaker 1: So just like the budget needs to says, she was

598
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: talking about that and working with different corporations and saying,

599
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: this is what my price is, because a lot of

600
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 1: times people do try to low boil you or do

601
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: try to say, oh, everybody's line is that, well, we

602
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: don't really have a budget right now, but we don't

603
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: have X, Y and Z right now. If you know

604
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: somebody's price is their price, you know she's not.

605
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 3: And she always really leans in, don't be afraid to

606
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 3: say no.

607
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,919
