All right now we've 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:44.360 been talking about these mass layoffs at ESPN. It all 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.000 started with Ryan Clark when we saw that happen, and 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.360 I guess news had leaked that he was going to 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.320 be let go. Well, you know after that, Cam Newton 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.599 found out that he was also getting let go, and 0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:55.840 his response was great. 0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.480 Here's what he said, if you. 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.920 Don't owe your old platform, you're going to get overlooked 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:01.799 and be extup. 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.919 It's unfortunate what happened to Ryan Clark. But what I 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.359 will tell you is this or Clark gonna be okay. 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:09.880 It's unfortunate what happened to me, some would think, but 0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.280 I'm good you can't make me what I've learned. 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.640 It was an internship almost. 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:18.520 Okay, I mean, that's definitely a great way to look 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.599 at it. It's definitely they all have their own platforms 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:24.320 that they're still gonna be doing. He also talked about 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.680 Emmanuel Acho, who has a solid online following with the 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.840 Speak Easy podcast. He was dropped by Fox Sports previously 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.159 and had won a Sports Amy while with the network. 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.839 So people still have their own things going on, and. 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.719 I think we talked about this years ago when AI 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.200 was just coming in and even at iHeartRadio, thousands of 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.200 people's getting laid off, and we're always talking about having. 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.920 Your own things, that you're not dependent on. 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.080 Anybody, having your ducks in a row, so to speak. Now, 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.920 Stephen A. Smith has a great relationship with Ryan Clark, 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.000 and he said he was informed ahead of time and 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.640 really did not want them to let Ryan Clark go. 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.400 Here's what he said was, I asked what I thought, 0:06:03.440 --> 0:06:04.440 what my feelings were. 0:06:04.560 --> 0:06:07.200 Yes, I was, and of course I said, we have 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:07.800 to keep them. 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.000 But I don't get to make those decisions, and I 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:14.480 don't get to ignore the fiscal and financial circumstances and 0:06:14.560 --> 0:06:16.799 ultimate ramifications that come with the job. 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.159 He said he thinks that Ryan Clark is arguably the 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:23.040 best football analysts in the United States, and he let 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:24.080 his bosses know that too. 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.400 I don't believe that thought I had to say everything 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.160 Steven Steven They Smith think everything runs through him. You know. 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.320 I think he has his platform, he got his check, 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.840 he got a great deal. But they not running stuff 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:40.400 past Stephen. They smifth like this mother pass Stevens. See 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.640 what he says now, it ain't going down like. 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:45.080 Because usually that stuff is so under wraps because they 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:46.440 don't want people to find out. 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.560 Yes, and I love Steve Nason, but don't forget who 0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:52.359 you are, that you really are not on that level 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.920 that they run and stuff asked you And I hate 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:57.240 to break your bubble like that, but that's me. 0:06:57.560 --> 0:06:57.760 Well. 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.200 Pat McAfee also had some things to say, because as 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:03.919 people are saying these cuts happen, they blamed his show 0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:06.200 for that because of the amount of money they're spending 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:06.679 on him. 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:08.279 Here's what he has to say. 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.480 Did they keep anybody or is everybody fired to pay you? 0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.640 I trying to figure it out. 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.200 How funny. We do not like that. We do not 0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.640 appreciate that that is the narrative and I'm certainly taking 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:19.280 it on the shins. 0:07:19.400 --> 0:07:21.080 The boys and I are very proud of the work 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:21.680 that we have done. 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:22.960 Don't be ready or like that. 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.480 Right, And you know, the news had surfaced just weeks 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:29.520 ago that he was in talks with the worldwide leader 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.400 on a new contract worth about sixty million dollars annually, 0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.040 so that's why people were feeling this way. 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:37.120 But he wanted to make sure. 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.080 People knows he's the one that came in. 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.280 With his own licensing and they're licensing his. 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:46.720 Yeah, he's winning. That's how he is the blueprint on 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.760 what everybody should be doing. Right. 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:50.960 It's tough though, because a lot of times they want 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.280 to own, you know, and so but if they can 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.520 license something and you still own it, that's always the 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:56.160 best situation. 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:57.640 It'll be a great negotiator. 0:07:58.000 --> 0:08:00.280 All right, Well that is your Yet when we come back, 0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:02.560 we have about last night, and like I said, I 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.960 never get to see T.

And we used 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:15.320 to always go at it for years and in a 0:18:15.359 --> 0:18:19.119 fun uncle big brother type way. Okay, shout out to 0:18:19.119 --> 0:18:21.760 a little Wayne. I'm really proud of you. And you 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:23.879 know how far we go, way back, so since he 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:25.600 was like fifteen sixteen years old. 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:29.080 And then lastly he talked about signing Drake and what 0:18:29.240 --> 0:18:30.000 made Drake different. 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:31.480 When he first heard his music. 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:34.399 Brake came through from you ever heard of Rap a 0:18:34.400 --> 0:18:35.040 Lot Records? 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:37.840 Of course, that's boy Drake Chum. When I heard him, 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:38.760 he was it was all right. 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:40.720 And then you know that one of those hooks came 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:42.400 and I was like, who's who's on the hook right, 0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.080 and it was like that's him, you know, man, Like 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.720 that's him singing. And I was like, yeah, like why 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:48.720 he don't do more of this? At that time, there 0:18:48.760 --> 0:18:49.480 was no one doing that. 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:53.600 Okay, well, good good stories to hear, and he's definitely 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:53.959 doing it. 0:18:54.240 --> 0:18:55.600 He's doing it. Phenomenal. 0:18:55.680 --> 0:18:57.639 All right, well that is yo. Yet when we come 0:18:57.680 --> 0:18:59.440 back under the radar, these are the stories that are 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.240 not necessarily in the headlines. They're flying under the radar, 0:19:02.720 --> 0:19:04.679 but you definitely need to know about them. 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.960 Nolan Wells's mom has made a move. 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:09.680 That is going to allow her to file a potential 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:14.159 lawsuit over her son's death. And we also have some 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:17.520 information from this independent autopsy that was done and will 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:18.520 tell you what they're saying. 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:19.840 It's way out late's to you. 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.359 These stories are flying under the radar. 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:24.399 All right, it's way up at Angela. Ye, it's me 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.560 and T. K. Kirkland here today. Yes, and let's go 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:30.520 under the radar with these stories. This Wilt Chamberlain Laker's 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.159 jacket was found by a teenager at a thrift store. 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:35.639 He paid three dollars for it. And guess how much 0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.639 it's so far at an auction eighty nine thousand dollars 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:42.240 because it was authentic. Can you imagine Do I need 0:19:42.280 --> 0:19:43.560 to start going to thrift stores? 0:19:43.720 --> 0:19:44.720 That's insane? 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.040 What type of luck is that to find something like that? 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:51.520 And I I feel like part of you would want 0:19:51.520 --> 0:19:52.159 to keep that. 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:54.399 Too, No, yeah, yeah, yeah, but he must have new 0:19:54.400 --> 0:19:56.520 self though somebody told him, you should, you know, put 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:57.119 it in an auction. 0:19:57.480 --> 0:19:58.120 It's for real. 0:19:58.640 --> 0:20:01.000 Yeah, well that's amazing, and I wonder how that even 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:02.920 I would love the story of how that even ended 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:03.840 up in an auction. 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:04.960 All right. 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:08.640 Now, Nolan Wells's mom is making a legal move. She's 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:13.600 laying the groundwork to potentially sue over her son's mysterious death. 0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:15.639 You know, there's so many questions about what could have 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.480 possibly happened to him as he disappeared off this boat 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:22.320 and was found dead. They said he did not have 0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:24.520 a will, he was never married, didn't have children, and 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:26.960 so that's what is all in the filing, and so 0:20:27.080 --> 0:20:31.000 that's basically laying down the groundwork so that she can 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:35.480 actually appoint herself as the administrator, saying the estate's assets 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.200 would consist solely of claims for damages resulting from the 0:20:38.280 --> 0:20:42.840 circumstances surrounding his death. And they did give us these 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:48.000 preliminary autopsy reports, and so there's still questions because the 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:51.520 independent autopsy there's. 0:20:51.240 --> 0:20:52.160 Not enough evidence. 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:54.320 They said he did have a twelve by eight inch 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:58.199 red discoloration to the back of his head, but his 0:20:58.320 --> 0:21:01.760 cause and manner of death were given as undetermined pending investigation. 0:21:02.640 --> 0:21:05.520 The date of the death. They also have that as unknown. 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.200 You know. Part of the issue is that there was 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:13.160 already an autopsy done, so there's already things that were 0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:15.840 removed and damaged, and so it's kind of hard to 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:16.639 do one now. 0:21:16.720 --> 0:21:19.560 But let's just speak the lissen to African Americas and 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:21.879 anybody when you hang with more than one white person, 0:21:22.840 --> 0:21:25.440 let people know where you are, and always carry a fold. 0:21:25.160 --> 0:21:29.560 And chair because the Montgomery brawl absolutely, you know, and 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:31.520 it's not that his parents didn't know where he was. 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:33.840 I guess these are kids that you know, he's hung 0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:37.840 out where the kids do this. There's so many questions about, 0:21:37.880 --> 0:21:39.639 like what happened to his phone? If he decided to 0:21:39.640 --> 0:21:41.439 stay behind on the island, why wouldn't he have his 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:41.960 phone with him. 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:44.119 There's no black guy leaving his phone. 0:21:44.160 --> 0:21:45.720 There's no teenager right. 0:21:45.640 --> 0:21:47.399 No, no, no, you ain't leaving your phone. 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:49.760 But they couldn't examine his lungs or stomach for their 0:21:49.800 --> 0:21:53.320 contents like signs of drowning because investigators already dissected those 0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.359 organs wow and removed his throat structures as part of 0:21:56.359 --> 0:22:00.960 the official investigation, which was standard according to who Reports. 0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:05.480 So they want to know. The questions now is how 0:22:05.520 --> 0:22:07.800 he went into the water before being found on the 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:11.080 beach of what his body's position was when it was found, 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:12.960 did he have water in his airway? And was there 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:15.840 any evidence of injuries to his neck? So these are 0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:20.120 the remaining key questions. And his attorney Ben Crump top reporters. 0:22:20.119 --> 0:22:22.960 We will persist, persist, persist in finding answers. 0:22:23.080 --> 0:22:25.560 I wish to families the best me too. 0:22:25.760 --> 0:22:26.760 I hope they get the. 0:22:26.720 --> 0:22:28.600 Answers, especially when you have kids. 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:30.360 You know, all right, Well, we do have the way 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:31.720 it mixed for you at the top of the hour, 0:22:31.800 --> 0:22:33.040 and it is a Wealth Wednesday. 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:35.600 So Wayne Fortune, the founder of Brooklyn Bloke. 0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:38.399 It's a clothing store that is actually inside of Grand 0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:41.119 Central Terminal.

I 0:35:55.480 --> 0:35:59.279 just got to a point where I wasn't enjoying what 0:35:59.320 --> 0:36:02.799 I was doing, like creatively and just decided it wasn't 0:36:02.800 --> 0:36:03.080 for me. 0:36:03.400 --> 0:36:06.080 So your brand, Brooklyn Bloke started as a T shirt. 0:36:06.120 --> 0:36:08.440 Can you talk to me about how your marketing journey started. 0:36:08.719 --> 0:36:12.719 Bloke is old British slang for a man a fellow, and. 0:36:12.640 --> 0:36:14.879 We were thinking about community, and we were thinking about 0:36:14.920 --> 0:36:19.000 connection and started to play around with some ideas and 0:36:19.160 --> 0:36:22.279 I came up with the Brooklyn Bloke logo and the identity, 0:36:22.360 --> 0:36:25.560 and then I started to include the definition of a 0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:27.840 bloke and that really started to catch on. 0:36:28.080 --> 0:36:30.320 And I just finished producing these T shirts. 0:36:30.320 --> 0:36:33.239 So I brought the suitcase out, you know, I just 0:36:33.320 --> 0:36:35.319 unlocked it on the block and I just started giving 0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:36.200 them out to everybody. 0:36:36.239 --> 0:36:39.319 And then after that I ended up at Tom Dick 0:36:39.360 --> 0:36:39.960 and Harris. 0:36:40.280 --> 0:36:41.560 They gave me a break there and. 0:36:41.520 --> 0:36:44.640 I was able to invite those kids from the block 0:36:44.680 --> 0:36:47.080 to Tom D's and you know, we had a nice event. 0:36:47.120 --> 0:36:49.960 I did, like an install presentation, and that was really 0:36:50.040 --> 0:36:52.279 when I started to kind of get some traction in 0:36:52.320 --> 0:36:54.879 the neighborhood, in the local community, and started to get 0:36:54.880 --> 0:36:56.520 people to understand. 0:36:56.680 --> 0:36:59.040 What I was doing, what Bloke meant, what. 0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:02.080 My intentions were, and having all of these conversations that 0:37:02.160 --> 0:37:04.280 started connecting the community to the branch. 0:37:04.600 --> 0:37:08.240 Right now, the founder and owner of Brooklyn Bloke, Wayne Fortune, 0:37:08.280 --> 0:37:10.440 is here with us. That's right. He went from London 0:37:10.880 --> 0:37:13.000 and got his roots in Brooklyn, and that kind of 0:37:13.120 --> 0:37:14.920 initiated the pop up ideas. 0:37:15.400 --> 0:37:18.120 Yes, yes, yes, So I had no place to sell this, 0:37:18.200 --> 0:37:20.319 so after tom Dy's, the shout out to tom Dy's, 0:37:20.800 --> 0:37:23.760 they would literally cash me out, like in the summer, 0:37:23.840 --> 0:37:26.120 Like I could just go there, all right, we'll take this, this, this, this, this, 0:37:26.440 --> 0:37:27.279 And after we did it. 0:37:27.239 --> 0:37:29.279 In store presentation, that was great. 0:37:29.600 --> 0:37:31.839 But then I started to realize that my product wasn't 0:37:31.880 --> 0:37:35.200 being positioned the way I liked. I'm from London, I 0:37:35.200 --> 0:37:38.560 have a slightly different aesthetic, so I wanted to position 0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:41.400 it myself, but I couldn't afford renting any of these stores. 0:37:41.760 --> 0:37:43.720 So I took it to the streets, flipped the table. 0:37:44.120 --> 0:37:46.640 Everybody kind of liked it immediately, and a few people 0:37:46.680 --> 0:37:47.919 were like, why don't you try and get the store, 0:37:47.960 --> 0:37:49.520 And I was like, I'm not really in the market 0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:51.520 for a store, but they kept saying it to me, 0:37:51.560 --> 0:37:54.560 which was sending me a direct message, we want this 0:37:54.640 --> 0:37:56.799 in our neighborhood, we want this in our community. We 0:37:56.880 --> 0:38:00.000 understand it. If you're amazing to have something like this here. 0:38:00.000 --> 0:38:02.600 All right. The founder and owner of Brooklyn Bloke. Wayne 0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:04.960 Fortune is here with us today. Find out more about 0:38:04.960 --> 0:38:07.719 his story on Wealth Wednesday. How he went from being 0:38:07.880 --> 0:38:11.240 a recording artist to selling t shirts on the street 0:38:11.520 --> 0:38:13.640 to having his own brick and mortar inside of Grand 0:38:13.680 --> 0:38:14.320 Central Station. 0:38:14.440 --> 0:38:15.520 We have more when we come back. 0:38:15.560 --> 0:38:18.759 It's Way Up and my Wealth Dog getting you straight financially, 0:38:19.000 --> 0:38:20.320 mentally and physically. 0:38:20.560 --> 0:38:23.040 This is Wealth Wednesday on Way Up with Angela Ye. 0:38:23.560 --> 0:38:25.520 What's up his way Up with Angela Yee and the 0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:28.840 story is from London to Grand Central. How Wayne Fortune 0:38:28.880 --> 0:38:32.680 built a Brooklyn Bloke into a movement. It's a black 0:38:32.719 --> 0:38:36.480 owned contemporary streetwear and lifestyle brand. And we have Wayne 0:38:36.480 --> 0:38:39.640 Fortune here with us today. How important is authenticity when 0:38:39.640 --> 0:38:40.560 it comes to your brand? 0:38:40.800 --> 0:38:43.400 When you buy something from Brooklyn blokecus, it's not what 0:38:43.440 --> 0:38:45.799 you pay for or what you buy, is actually what 0:38:45.880 --> 0:38:48.520 you get back in return, which is a piece of 0:38:48.640 --> 0:38:52.120 this journey of resilience and character. And that's not to 0:38:52.120 --> 0:38:54.840 toot my own home, but literally I've lived this on 0:38:54.920 --> 0:38:58.680 the street corners, wanting to quit. And I think everything 0:38:58.719 --> 0:39:00.480 that people talk about when they come to the story 0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:02.520 is how much they love the energy, how much they 0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:05.600 love the presentation. And I was that meticulous on the street. 0:39:05.880 --> 0:39:08.040 People used to mock me because because of how many 0:39:08.040 --> 0:39:09.440 times I'd fold a T shirt. 0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:12.400 And that's the type of pride, you know, my values. 0:39:12.760 --> 0:39:14.400 You know, the reason why I stopped being in the 0:39:14.480 --> 0:39:18.600 music business is in the brand self reliance or you know, 0:39:18.840 --> 0:39:21.920 real bleed and bleeding talk. 0:39:21.719 --> 0:39:24.040 About what you mean by bleeding. It was a fascinating 0:39:24.280 --> 0:39:25.719 I just got part of our conversation. 0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:29.239 Well, I think you know, when we talk about entrepreneurialism, 0:39:29.239 --> 0:39:33.279 we always go to success or failure, but in the 0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:35.440 middle there's just a lot of bleeding us like how 0:39:35.480 --> 0:39:36.279 much can you take? 0:39:36.719 --> 0:39:39.000 And as we know, a lot of people just fall 0:39:39.040 --> 0:39:39.880 out because. 0:39:41.000 --> 0:39:42.800 Out you know what I mean, you know, all of 0:39:42.840 --> 0:39:44.720 a sudden, you know you don't want to do it anymore, 0:39:44.840 --> 0:39:46.759 you know, And we all say, you know, you could 0:39:46.760 --> 0:39:48.879 be just around the corner from that. And a friend 0:39:48.920 --> 0:39:50.680 of mine said to me, damn man, it's like you 0:39:50.800 --> 0:39:53.440 just won't stops. Like you're impossible to kill. And I 0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:56.040 really believe. I believe that as an entrepreneur, if you're 0:39:56.120 --> 0:39:58.160 really serious about what you're doing, you need to be 0:39:58.239 --> 0:39:59.279 impossible to kill. 0:39:59.480 --> 0:40:03.160 Right now, Founder and owner of Brooklyn Bloke, Wayne Fortune 0:40:03.200 --> 0:40:04.239 is here with us. That's right. 0:40:04.280 --> 0:40:07.160 He went from London and got his roots in Brooklyn. 0:40:07.320 --> 0:40:10.239 You really made me rethink retail because when I asked you, 0:40:10.280 --> 0:40:11.920 I'm like, do you want the call to action of 0:40:11.960 --> 0:40:14.759 your interview to be for people to go buy your 0:40:14.800 --> 0:40:15.879 products online? 0:40:16.360 --> 0:40:18.319 You really took me to school on that. 0:40:19.160 --> 0:40:21.480 Listen, everybody's situation is different. 0:40:21.600 --> 0:40:24.840 You know, the internet is a huge place everybody's selling. 0:40:24.880 --> 0:40:29.319 It's huge for commerce, but it lacks personal connection experience. 0:40:29.680 --> 0:40:33.480 And we have just noticed that Brooklyn Bloke, that people 0:40:33.600 --> 0:40:35.360 like to be around us, they like to be in 0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:37.879 our stores. So we've just been thinking, you know that 0:40:37.920 --> 0:40:40.400 we don't necessarily need to have such a large presence 0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:46.400 for e commerce, and we actually are intentionally strategically moving offline. 0:40:46.560 --> 0:40:48.640 That is like the opposite of what the average person 0:40:48.719 --> 0:40:49.040 is doing. 0:40:49.200 --> 0:40:51.680 Yeah, but what's interesting if you're talking about a trend 0:40:51.800 --> 0:40:54.800 you mentioned Nike, what the difference between that. 0:40:54.719 --> 0:40:56.520 If you look at Nike and you look at all 0:40:56.600 --> 0:40:59.040 of these big brands, they're pulling product out of all 0:40:59.080 --> 0:41:02.239 of these at a store, and they're creating unique experiences 0:41:02.280 --> 0:41:04.880 for Nike and for the Nike consumer. I've seen a 0:41:04.960 --> 0:41:08.759 huge benefit and really getting to know my consumer. 0:41:08.880 --> 0:41:11.040 Our repeat business is incredible. 0:41:11.400 --> 0:41:13.759 If I could just for a minute speak about how 0:41:13.760 --> 0:41:16.800 we define success. Most of the time we're thinking about money. 0:41:16.960 --> 0:41:19.839 I think sometimes we should pay more attention to that. 0:41:20.040 --> 0:41:22.239 You know, what affect our brand or our business or 0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:25.120 our purpose is actually having on the marketplace and all 0:41:25.200 --> 0:41:28.560 people sort of thing, and that's something that is more 0:41:28.680 --> 0:41:30.400 valuable to of course, I've got to make money. I 0:41:30.520 --> 0:41:32.640 like to stay fresh like everybody else. You know, I've 0:41:32.680 --> 0:41:35.080 got things I like and you know, our family, all 0:41:35.120 --> 0:41:38.400 of that sort of stuff. But in marketplace results, I 0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:41.760 think is really underestimated. And I think for the young entrepreneur, 0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:43.920 for the startup, for people who are coming up in 0:41:43.960 --> 0:41:47.120 a game, don't underestimate the impact that you can have 0:41:47.520 --> 0:41:48.919 on the environment that you're in. 0:41:49.239 --> 0:41:50.640 And I'm really really proud of that. 0:41:50.840 --> 0:41:52.560 All right again, Happy with Wednesday. 0:41:52.600 --> 0:41:54.720 Everybody, make sure you check out that for an interview 0:41:54.719 --> 0:41:57.560 with Wayne Fortune, the founder of Brooklyn Bloke on my 0:41:57.640 --> 0:41:59.719 YouTube channel Way Up at the Year and when we 0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:02.600 come it's your show, so you have the last. 0:42:02.320 --> 0:42:06.040 Word to get your voice heard with the word he 0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:08.360 is the last word on Way Up with Angela. 0:42:08.400 --> 0:42:10.479 Ye, what's up his Way Up at Angela yee. 0:42:10.520 --> 0:42:11.000 T K. 0:42:11.120 --> 0:42:13.319 Kirkling, thank you so much for hanging out with me today. 0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:16.200 Always a pleasure, my queen.
