Speaker 1: my understanding. Now tell me what is your style before

60
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: we really get into the interview, and then I would

61
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: give you my impressions because I'm impressed. First of all,

62
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm impressed and I'm a big faith So let me

63
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: just say that. So anything you say, nothing negative is

64
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: gonna come out of my mouth about you. I'm just

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: gonna let you know what I see, what I want

66
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,760

67
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna tell you the greatness that I see. Yeah,

68
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: I would say, man, First of all, I had a

69
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: capital in a word. I say energy. Man. You know,

70
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm better passionate about what I do and energetic um.

71
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: And I think it's you know, it's like biblical truth

72
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 1: but in a digestible format. And that's really what I've

73
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: been getting to do. To take these ideas about God.

74
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: I like to call revelations of who he is and

75
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: presented in the melodic form that's catchy, that's easy to uh,

76
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: that's a poachable or the listener um, but but hopefully

77
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: life changing wants the word really get inside of you.

78
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: And so that's that's my style. Man, It's a beautiful style.

79
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: Now tell me who is your audience. My audience is

80
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: is really done verse believe it or not? And I

81
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: believe no, no, no, no, no, Travis, I believe it. Okay, Well,

82
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: I didn't know until I went out on tour, man,

83
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: because you know, we don't dour in churches. We're doing clubs,

84
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: but I'm on tour. We're doing theaters and bars and

85
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: stuff like that. And it super diverse, man. I mean,

86
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: you got you got you know, my my family in

87
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: the room. You got blacks, you got um, but then

88
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: you got white and you got Hispanics. And I think

89
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: the music is just in such a way that UM

90
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: and that really matter people skinting tones, they can really

91
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,359
Speaker 1: kind of take it in UM and they get you know,

92
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: they get caught into the energy of what were for them.

93
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: So it's very cool man. Yeah, it's really Uh, it's

94
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful thing, first of all, and because of

95
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: the fact that you're you're you're, you're doing the same

96
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: lyrics that other African American artists are doing. But it's

97
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: sometimes I just read there is just resonating in general,

98
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: is resonating with the African American community. Now, your music

99
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: and your tone it's kind of like almost a low

100
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: rock and roll. It's kind of like, I won't say

101
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: rock and roll is not that hard, but it's almost

102
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: if I had to put a style on it. It

103
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: reminds me of and just who then the Blowfish, Darris Rock.

104
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: It was like watching him. It's like watching him, and

105
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a negative thing to say, because

106
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: he had that same He had the same ability to

107
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: have a crossover audience, you know, the diversity of people

108
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 1: out there appeally to his music even though he was

109
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: an African American and he was just singing from the heart,

110
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: relatable music like you were saying, but George just have

111
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: to be gospel. Yeah, he was South Carolina boy too,

112
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: so it makes sense absolutely very relatable. And so now

113
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: here's the thing, because you know, I'm reading your bio

114
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: and like I said, uh before before you got into music,

115
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: you know, here you are at Georgia Southern, you know,

116
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: and business management degree, you're about to go get an

117
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: m b a. And but you still don't know who

118
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: you are. That's the key. So you're still trying to

119
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: find yourself. So you're still seeking out, but you kind

120
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: of know what you love. But is it a reality.

121
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: It is a it is a it is a realistic

122
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: opportunity to go in that direction. Talk of walkers through

123
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: that whole process because a lot of our listeners, a

124
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: lot of people in the life are sitting on that

125
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: edge of opportunity, but fear, doubt, relatives, goods and friends,

126
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: will will will will push you in the direction of

127
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: what they feel is safe. Yeah, yeah, I think. I

128
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: mean you know this because you're you're successful. I think

129
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: it's a long game, right. The funny thing about a

130
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: dream man and that it can be the thing that

131
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: that motivates you, but it could also be the thing

132
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: that discourages you because the dream is so far out

133
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: of reach, is so different from your uh present reality,

134
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: that it can be overwhelming. I think the key is

135
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: too to have the vision of mine, but you know,

136
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: to really be faithful day to day. And so for me,

137
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think the reason I didn't really know

138
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: what I want to do because I like it was

139
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: in my heart, but it was like, man, I have

140
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: no idea how to get there, So let me just

141
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: kind of go and do something familiar and do something

142
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: that showing. And I think that's where most people land

143
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: is like, let me do what's safe and that I

144
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: can kind of figure my own plan out for. But

145
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: but God didn't operate like that. Man, God is not

146
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: a gout of like safe platient and she's a guy

147
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: that required her faith. The faith is risky and show

148
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: and say them bedient faith. If I had to simplify

149
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: what faith is, dedia, faith is that it requires God. Like,

150
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,360
Speaker 1: let's if you can do anything in your own stripty,

151
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: don't need faith to do it right? Anything that required like, man,

152
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't know I'm gonna do this. I ain't got

153

215
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: Bob Marley when he came, you know, and then he

00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: say in Arlem. You know, the thing about Lisa was

317
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: this first time we've talked. M I always like to

318
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: everybody kind of get a sense of who I am interviewing. Uh.

319
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: I get credits, and sometimes the credits are narrowed down

320
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 1: to the project that I'm speaking of. He gives a

321
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: little bit more about your background before you really got

322
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: into the film and television side of your career. Uh yeah,

323
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 1: I was very lucky to uh start my professional career

324
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: working at def Jam and Rush in the golden Age

325
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: of hip hop. And from there I went on to

326
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: Mercury Records with at Eckstein and then ultimately had my

327
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: own label at PolyGram called Loose Cannon Records. UM. After

328
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: a certain time, I think, as I saw the changes

329
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: that was happening in the music business in the late nineties,

330
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: a long time ago, I decided I wanted to start

331
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: making films because I saw that the power of cinema

332
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: could travel all over the world and that a picture

333
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: was truly worth a thousand words. And after going back

334
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: to film school and kind of you know, starting from

335
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: the ground up again, I ended up working with Lee

336
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: Daniels and was his producing partner for ten years. Wow.

337
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: And so let me ask you this now, the Apollo

338
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: now my background. Just let everybody know, I'm a former

339
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: stand up comic. UM at a comedy club in Houston,

340
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: Texas call the Hip Hop Comedy Stop. I used to

341
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: Finnel talent to the Amateur Nite. One of the famous

342
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: features of the Apollo is Amateur Nite, and they would

343
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: take the show and they'd be a part of the show.

344
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: They would come down the screen talent. So I just

345
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: say that at least is that I'm excited to interview

346
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: you because I feel like I'm a part of the

347
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 1: history that you're talking about on this show. Because it

348
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 1: expands eighty five years. That's a lot to talk about

349
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: in a documentary. Oh yeah, And but the thing about

350
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: what our director, Roger Ross Williams has done is he's

351
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: made those eighty five years not only go by so quickly,

352
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: but to evoke memories that we all have. Everybody's got

353
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,920
Speaker 1: a connection to the Apollo if you've been there, if

354
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: you've watched Showtime, if you have listened to great artists

355
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: who were given their start there. And so the history

356
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: goes by so quickly, but we also talk about temporary

357
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: stories of what is happening at the Apollo. So this

358
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: documentary is not a museum piece. It is very much alive.

359
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: When you say that let's let's talk about let's share

360
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more detail about the directions, vision and

361
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,679
Speaker 1: telling this story, because you're saying that, see what I

362
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: because I would have an approach. I would do Apollo

363
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: about all the all the great hosts that were there

364
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 1: with show Time at devolvable WHOOPI Goldberg with hols Vealis

365
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: when I was moved to New York and eight Rickevilius

366
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: was the host at the time for show time at

367
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: the Apollo that Mark Lauren sin Bad and then when

368
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: sin Bad left and Steve Harvey took over and Monique

369
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: took over, Kid read at the Anderson through that whole

370
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: constant was my girl, Kiki Shepherd. She was always out there.

371
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: She was the original I like to call it Vanna White.

372
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: Before Vanna White was always Kiki Shepherd. That's a part

373
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: of the story, but you're not delving so much in

374
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 1: that part of the story. You're telling how the process

375
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: worked at the Apollo and the interviewing people involved. Well,

376
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,680
Speaker 1: we tell the history of the Apollo as a very

377
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,239
Speaker 1: important place for the souls of black folks. It was

378
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: a place that you know, at the top of the circuit,

379
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: that welcomed us as performers when other venues did not.

380
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: It was the place, uh, you know, where dreams are born.

381
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: And so the documentary is about great moments like Billie

382
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: Holiday performing Strange Fruit there. It is a story. It's

383
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,959
Speaker 1: the stories of Patti LaBelle talking about what it was

384
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: to be a black woman on the road in the

385
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 1: segregated America and what it meant to arrive at the

386
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 1: Apollo and what she and the Bluebells learned there. So

387
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: it is great moments in the Apollo history, but it's

388
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 1: also the it's political. It is the intersection of how

389
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 1: we as black folks use our art to take to

390
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: lift ourselves out of oppression. But also our art is

391
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: coded with information on zillions and survival and so the

392
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: documentary is you know, it's clips of performers. It is

393
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: you know, when we talk about amateur Night, we interviewed

394
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: Miss Eva and I think you remember Miss Eva was

395
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: a lady who said in the front row house, up

396
00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 1: on everybody, you know. And we talked to you know,

397
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: Billy Mitchell, the resident historian, and Joe Gray, you know,

398
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,880
Speaker 1: the head of stage who's also the set it off man.

399
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: We you know, we're looking at the people who work

400
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: at the Apollo because they're as important to the story

401
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: as the artists who have graced the stage. In addition

402
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: to political politicians like you know, uh, Charles Rangel, who

403
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: you know went there as a young man, so uh

404
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: and Paul McCartney, who said, you know, coming to America,

405
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,239
Speaker 1: that's the first place the Beatles wanted to go right.

406
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,360
Speaker 1: You know, the Apollo is the crossroads. We know. It's

407
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 1: really interesting when I because you know, I've walked in Apollo.

408
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: You know, first of all, is bigger than life, because

409
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 1: if you walk into you go, okay, that's how big

410
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 1: it really is. But that doesn't mean that. But the

411
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: process of getting on that stage it's really interesting. You

412
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: you have the you have the audience. But when you

413
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,200
Speaker 1: walk on that stage and you look at the audience,

414
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: it's almost overwhelming because there's so much history that comes.

415
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: I was seen it's own stage there. You know the

416
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: thing you know, you know, uh, James Brown recorded a

417
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: live album at the Apollo that became one of his

418
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: biggest sellers. And now the one of the parts of

419
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: the Apollo that stood out the most was Amateur Night.

420
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: And I reason to say that is that how important

421
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: was amateur Night to the history of the Apollo venue.

422
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: Amateur Night is so important in four the theater opens

423
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: n Ella Fitzgerald is an amateur night that that just

424
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: goes to show you the soope of and depths of

425
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: the talent that was given an opportunity there. Amateur Night

426
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: is also interesting because the first time you know, Lauren

427
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: Hell performed as a young girl. She was booed off

428
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,919
Speaker 1: the stage. What is unique about the Apollo is that

429
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: the audience is in on it. The audience and the

430
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: performer have a unique conversation because the Apollo is church,

431
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: and so there's very few places that you entertainment venues

432
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: that you're going to have the kind of call and

433
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: response between the performer and the audience in the way

434
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: that you do with the Apollo. Well, you know, it's

435
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: really important that you say that. Let me read something

436
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,520
Speaker 1: about the Apollo has served as a launch path for

437
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: such legendary talents like you mentioned Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin,

438
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: like you just mentioned, Ella fhis Gerald, the Supreme, Stevie Wonder,

439
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,479
Speaker 1: Jimmie Hendrix, Smokey Robinson, Ray Charles, Patty Lebert, who's been

440
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: interviewed in the documentary Showcase, comedians such as Red Fox, Dick,

441
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: Gregory Dick Gregory, Richard pryor the great incredible Mars Maylie.

442
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: I hope somebody does a movie on her One Day Moms,

443
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: mainly incredible actor Jamie Fox, and you interviewed Jamie Fox

444
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: in the documentary Talk to us about that. We also

445
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: have clips from Mom's made and did Gregory and Richard

446
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: Pryor and Chris rock Um. You know that speak to

447
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: the unique connection that comedians had with the theater, but

448
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: also what it is how we use comedy um in

449
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 1: a very unique way. Now, the interesting thing about it,

450
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: are you able to talk about the origin of the buoy? Yes,

451
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: we we talked because they're not. That's right there, miss Evil.

452
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: It was, it was awesome, but the booing is what

453
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: the what? What was separated uh the talent from the

454
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: wanna be talent? That what? That's what You walked on

455
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,239
Speaker 1: stage with this with this fear that you can be

456
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: rejected massively by room full of people, which can crush

457
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 1: some people. Are just make them determined to come back

506
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: want of the people to understand who you are. We're

507
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: gonna go through the story of two breaks and uh,

508
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: you know fast needed by My degree is in mathematics,

509
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: so you know you, you know, what you're doing is

510
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: way beyond what I'm doing now because I got into scriptwriting,

511
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: I got in the sitcom, I got into producing town,

512
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: so I left all my algorithm life behind other than

513
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: just counting money. Okay, and you stayed in that lane

514
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: and you and you blossomed in that lane. So explain

515
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: to everybody what exactly you do. Yes. So, our company,

Speaker 1: exceed the personal finance common Core standards. We also use

519
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: these games to be able to collect and disseminate financial information.

520
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: The first game that we have is called Credit Stators.

521
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: It's similar to Candy Crush, except for swapping around candy

522
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: around credit pay yall your debt and sieve a hot

523
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: cost score and learn from the multiple choice question. Now

524
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: that's now what what with that being said? Because you

525
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: named a very popular game, and like you said, what

526
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: is the what is the reaction to You're trying to

541

Speaker 1: all amazing. Now Here a lot of people get on

542
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: more show a boy dropping apps, trying to get apps

543
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: out there, trying to get in from me. How does

544
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: one or through relationships or your reputation, how does one

545
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: drop an app get the do you promoted through social media?

546
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: How does that happen? Angel? Well, you know, honestly, we

547
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: didn't have any of that. I was you know, I'm

548
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: still a regular person. But at the time, no, you know,

549
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: I know, you know you don't stop that regular person

550
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: angel a angel You're not a regular person. No you're not.

551
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: See what you're not gonna do is come on money

552
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: made conversation and act like I talk a regular people,

553
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: No special I was a regular person. I'm dropping And

554
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: I sat back in my UM in my office and

555
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: as myself, how was we going to be able to

556
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: scale this without any funding? And so you know, I

557
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,040
Speaker 1: kind of put the mathematical statistician head on. Okay, we

558
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: decimed an algorithm. UM, so we reverse engineer Facebook, Instagram,

559
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: and Google, and we came up with our own algorithm

560
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: for user acquisition of the ads, and we did something

561
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: in UM historic and groundbreaking. So our algorithm actually now

562
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 1: outperforms Googles by seven point five times and Facebook by

563
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: twelve points five times. There's no systems that can advertise

564
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: to me, that can attract users better than what we're

565
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: already doing. And we actually had Google call and tell

566
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: us this and confirmed this. We we knew we were

567
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 1: doing something amazing, but when Google called and told us

568
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,960
Speaker 1: that they've never seen anything like it, UM, we really

569
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: knew we were owning something. So we've actually kind of

570
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: flashed that out into an algorithm on its own that

571
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: we call rich CPI, and we're working with other companies

572
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: to now help them be able to scale their products.

573
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: Now you need to be working with MCN. But now

574
00:32:55,760 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: how does man come get in the angel? Rich? Is

575
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 1: this stuff very serious? Because I was sitting with my

576
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: staff this morning talking about algorithms. There are special people

577
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: that that's what they do because they understand this new

578
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 1: form of marketing, this new form of branding, this new

579
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: form of being able to target the audience that you're

580
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: that you're communicating with. How does an individual are I

00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: him I love him, But we'll be right back with Okay,

612
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: with a T N T. Come on, let's talk now,

613
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 1: because that's really that's really what it's all about. But

614
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: but because you've discovered something, and I don't want to

615
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to blow past this whole concept of

616
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: of what you guys created, you know, with this algorithm,

617
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that it was a team of you or

618
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: what's you and a friend or how did that whole

619
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: concept come about? Because when I when I sit down

620
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: and I and I and I think about those things,

621
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:28,800
Speaker 1: because with my mathematic background, there's a certain logic that

622
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 1: comes to comes to about the way I think, how

623
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 1: does one go about what your team or or you

624
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: felt it. There's no different than Steve Jobs sitting down

625
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: or Bill Gates and down. There's are visionary people. I

626
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 1: have to say, you're a visionary person because you come

627
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: up with something that even Google has called about. So

628
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: how does that start? Angel? Okay, So I'll answer that

629
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: question in reverse. Um, do you have three pieces of

630
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: intellectual property sort of wrapped into the game? Okay? Um?

631
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:05,839
Speaker 1: The first piece is the user acquisition algorithms? Rich speaks, Um,

632
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: I did that solely by myself and I've never showed

633
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 1: it to a never so even my co founder has

634
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 1: never seen it. McDonald's secret sauce, right exactly, it's like

635
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: the Coca Cola recipe. That's that's it, unless somebody want

636
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 1: to come along and buy Coca cola. Right now, you're

637
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: not seeing the algorithm, girl, exactly. Uh, we have an

638
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: algorithm that actually helps people to systematically pay off their

639
00:36:35,440 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: debt and raise their credit score. Um, we're going to

640
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: release that in the next version of the game where

641
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna be rounding up people change to pay off

642
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: their debt. Uh, that that that's on their credit report

643
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: and systematically increase their credit score. Now, that's that's something

644
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: that's coming out now, right, Yeah, that's something that's coming

645
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,879
Speaker 1: out next. And then third, Well but let's let's stop

646
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: right there. Let's stop right there. Dot. It's about this

647
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: this credit score, because that's really big because I wanted

648
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: to get to the other thing because that credit scores

649
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: was stopped so many people for some reason. Like even

650
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: when I came out of high school many years ago,

651
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: I always knew I needed to maintain my credit. They

652
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 1: weren't even talking about scores back then. It was just

653
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,399
Speaker 1: like I gotta have good credit, build your credit, get

654
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: one credit card, then you go. Sears was like better

655
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: than American Express when I was young, and then you

656
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: do you know something I had. Montgomery Awards were just

657
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: closed now, so I was just building my credit with

658
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: the got my Sears, Then I got my Montgomery Roar card,

659
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: and then got my j C Penning card. Then I

660
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: got my first Shell gas call, got my Shell gas card.

661
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: You know that that was hard calls to get back

662
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 1: in the day. You know, we're just the future of

663
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: finance because we were joking around about different things, and

664
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 1: can you expound on that before we wrap everything up? Well,

665
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,239
Speaker 1: first of all, you know a theory that I've been

666
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: toying with and I started to write a paper on

667
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,919
Speaker 1: this last night. I think we need to stop calling

668
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: it the future of farming called the present day of money,

669
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: because I think with us to keep referring to the

670
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: future of farmance, people keep waiting for something to happen

671
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: in the future, and they're not thinking about the present

672
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:16,280
Speaker 1: day economy and the present day innovations that are happening

673
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: right now before them. In terms of mobile banking investment options,

674
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: you got lobbinhood, You've got acorns, you've got different life

675
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: insurance policies, You've got highest daily of annuity policies out here.

676
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 1: So there's so many things that's happening white now right now,

677
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: and the receptive is coming in the next two years.

678
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: So I would hate for people to keep thinking about

679
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: the future of farmance and then mext thing. You know,

680
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:48,240
Speaker 1: they've they've they've held on to the eight hundred credit

681
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 1: scores and they haven't purchased the different properties that they

682
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:53,960
Speaker 1: needed to or they had to accept their forum on

683
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: k up um officially to be prepared for this recession

684
00:38:57,600 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: that's about to hit. So I really think that almost

685
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know what, what was the show

686
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 1: called um the Futuristics show with the robot and um

687
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 1: ah Jetsons. So back you were older than me. I

688
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: can't believe you. I guess I'm throwing out Montgomery wounds

689
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 1: and see you're just gonna go back to Jetsons now.

690
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: You know you need to stop age. I'm so tired

691
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: of you. You know, back in the day that cartoon

692
00:39:29,360 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: was supposed to be the future of technology in the world.

693
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 1: Everything that existed in the Jetsons is here. All this

694
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: stuff about the future of fans is here, So I

695
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: think that we need to pause and actually recognize that. Um.

696
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: But yes, I believe that. I believe the future is

697
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: here where things are going. I think they're preparing us

698
00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 1: not to get too deep, but I think they're preparing

699
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 1: us for another recession the same way the last recession happened.

700
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:01,280
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, more housing became available, credit became available,

701
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 1: interest rates were stable. All the same, the same temperature

702
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: of the market, the same pH balance of the economic

703
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 1: climates is the same. That's happening, white Mail. So I

704
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: would say that there's a recession coming in the next

705
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 1: two years and we need to be prepared for it.

706
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: And I agree with you. You know, different ways I

707
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 1: approach money is you know, finding fixed rates and insurance policies,

708
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: different ways you can protect yourself. And but like I

709
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: said again, you know when you listen to somebody talking

710
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: about finance, you have to be careful you talk because

711
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:34,520
Speaker 1: people hold you accountable, saying you, well, you recommended on

712
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: your show with show and that's why I'm vested in this,

713
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 1: or they take their advice and manipulate it. But more importantly,

714
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,480

Speaker 1: that entertainment was a form of entrepreneurship, especially with social

Speaker 1: So you're up here, you know social media just to

791
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 1: a funished door by her and a twin sisters in

792
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: the early State about two thousand and seven. They was

793
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: they were struggling socially now, you know, And and I

794
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: told him I say, look, uh, I give you, I

795
00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: give you five dollars. Think of that five thousand. If

796
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:22,360
Speaker 1: y'all could just get the five thousand followers five thousand

797
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:26,240
Speaker 1: and gave us a book, gave us this yellow social

798
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: media one hundred ways or something to up your social

799
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: media game or something like that. And we failed miserably.

800
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 1: I mean they actually walked away from it, actually stopped

801
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,719
Speaker 1: talking to me. You know, they didn't dried a little bit.

802
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: You know, try, we failed. We failed miserably. It was

803
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: not our calling. Then now, what is your social media numbers? Now?

804
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,680
Speaker 1: My friends, so uh on beyond her, I met over

805
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 1: twenty thousand followers from my Active Wellness brand and then

806
00:45:53,440 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: from my personal I am Brandy Harvey on Instagram. I

807
00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: have over a hundred thirty thousand Instagram followers. Yeah, hundred

808
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 1: and thirty eight thousand Instagram followers. Yeah. Okay, that's called

809
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 1: brand growth. That is definitely brand growth. Because I remember

810
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: when I had one from a person who stopped talking

811
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 1: to me about the social media. You know, you put

812
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 1: so much pressure on us in the office. I remember it.

813
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: It was Carly and I it was it was some

814
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,280
Speaker 1: other people for Trees. She put a lot of pressure

815
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: on us during that time for social Actually it was.

816
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,439
Speaker 1: It was great because I didn't really believe incial the town.

817
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: I launched it for your dad, and I remember you

818
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: ran his social campaign. Got it up to this really

819
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: is not It's not me. I don't want to do that,

820
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 1: and that's what this book is about. This. The book

821
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,479
Speaker 1: is about you can do a lot of things good,

822
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: but that doesn't necessarily mean that's a long term that's

823
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 1: gonna make you happy. I'm going to fulfill your dreams

824
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: and more importantly than it may not be your calling,

825
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: tell us why you wrote the book, because that was wanted.

826
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: The main takeaway to that guy from the book, You

827
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: know why I wrote this book is because I wanted

828
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,120
Speaker 1: to You know, I'm a teacher at my heart and

829
00:47:09,239 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: my core, and I wanted to teach other women how

830
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: to break free in their lives, to have their own breakthrough,

831
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: to jump over the hurdle of being unstuck, of staying

832
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:22,279
Speaker 1: with the victims story that's kept you stuck for so long.

833
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to help women break free from the food bondage,

834
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, because so many of us are stuck eating

835
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: and drinking ourselves into like a coma. Every single day

836
00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: trying to suppress the emotions and so and then spiritually,

837
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,479
Speaker 1: I think so many black women in particular have been

838
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 1: you know, um, really hurt by the church, been hurt

839
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:47,479
Speaker 1: by religion. And so I wanted to have this book

840
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:50,439
Speaker 1: offer up a piece for you to find that inner

841
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: spirit because when you find that inner wheel, you know it,

842
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: you can move forward in your life. Now, when you

843
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 1: stay moved forward in your life? What that me because

844
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: it means a lot to a lot of different people.

845
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: I just wanted to find the words that you're trying

846
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 1: to emote from your book. You know. When I when

847
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: I sat down to write the book, you know, I

848
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: started the book because I was fired. And I opened

849
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 1: the book telling the story of being fired from my

850
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 1: dad's UM foundation. And so now most people are like

851
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 1: blown away, like how do you get fired from your dad?

852
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 1: And I was fired, and I knew that I was

853
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,320
Speaker 1: not living up to my highest calling and potential. I

854
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: knew that there was so much more that I wanted

855
00:48:36,120 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: to do with my life and be of service to

856
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,359
Speaker 1: other people. Um. And I think that was a moment

857
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 1: for me that I had to get unstuck and move forward.

858
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: Because some let me talk about let me because I

859
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 1: was there for this, and we had many conversations in

860
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: my office lunchtime because you you were really conflicted about,

861
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:02,719
Speaker 1: you know, divinity going in that direction, going to theology school. Yeah,

862
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,879
Speaker 1: we had and I was looking at really really because

863
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: I hear this conversation and then and then also the

864
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: whole aspect of the prospect of running the foundation. You know,

865
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: we did the camps and downsidually to Atlanta. Those are

866
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: things you were just good at. That's how I just

867
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: talking about. You were just talented. It was a passion

868
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: that you believed in, but that wasn't your passion and

869
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: so and so I always felt that any advice I

870
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 1: gave you really would have been confusing because of the

871
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: fact that even though you you spoke these words all

872
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: you're very articulate, you're very prominent in your tone, that

873
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that's what you wanted to do. And so

874
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 1: so when I when I hear the fact that you know,

875
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,279
Speaker 1: you were terminated as the executive director of the foundation,

876
00:49:46,600 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: that doesn't shockmate, because we had these conversations and so

877
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: all along. At certain times I was saying, people get

878
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: fired or just waiting for you to do their do

879
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 1: your job. It's all you're doing, just waiting. But what

880
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: we don't want to do is get here the Yeah,

881
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: you know, we don't want to hear the work. But

882
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: way back when you knew what was coming, and all

883
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 1: the signs were there, all the signs, this is not

884
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: worth frustration and complaining, motivation and begredguingly doing your work.

885
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: You're planning other things during those people's times. You know,

886
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: you're using those people's cubicles and computers. Absolutely, and that's

887
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: that's why. That's why I thought that whole portion of

888
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:34,120
Speaker 1: the idea of you opening the book talking about determination

889
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: part and there were some personal things that you talk about.

890
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: But believe it, that's happening every day in America. People

891
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 1: are going to work. Yeah, um, what you're doing over there?

892
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 1: Uh long breaks uha, tying up other employees time with

893
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: conversation that means nothing to be the company fold and

894
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,359
Speaker 1: then you they are going, I want to I want

895
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: to confront the issue. That's why I loved about you. Here.

896
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: You are in the wrong, you know all the time

897
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 1: in the but you're confronting issue. You tell me why

898
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm firing, Well you kind of know, but yeah, and

899
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 1: that's that's so. I so I found a humorous because

900
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: I know people do this all the time, but not

901
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: like you. But it's not like you. You want to

902
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,279
Speaker 1: hear the words come out. Yeah, And I think that's

903
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: what so many of us do. We don't understand that

904
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: we've we've had the moment of closure, right, but we

905
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 1: need to know. I need to hear it, and you know,

906
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: give me what I'm looking for. Know the closures already happened.

907
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: And so many times we miss out on the things

908
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: that we're supposed to do with our lives because we're

909
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 1: waiting for someone to give us an answer to the why,

910
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 1: you know, when we should just move on. But here's

911
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 1: the funny part about it. When you eventually get the why,

912
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 1: there's more conversation. It's among the conversation. And so so

913
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,040
Speaker 1: that's why I was fascinating and I found your book

914
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: I feel is a must read. And I think it's

915
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: a must read because I did not see another version.

916
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: Because I feel that when you do all is interviews

917
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 1: like interviews with me, you see how expansive it is

918
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:08,240
Speaker 1: as far as in the corporate world, in the small

919
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: business world, because we're dealing with employees and we're dealing

920
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: with poor decisions as we make as owners, as supervisors,

921
00:52:16,480 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 1: as management because of the fact that what you did

922
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 1: personally is what every employee is doing in America. They

923
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: in denial about them being the real problem, in fact

924
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: is you could have resolved everybody's problem if you just

925
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 1: say I resigned. Absolutely, I didn't want to do that,

926
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:36,879
Speaker 1: and don't We want to hold onto things when they're

927
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 1: no longer serving us, they no longer fit us, they

928
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: no longer are part of our space, but we want

929
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: to hold onto them because we are afraid. We're afraid

930
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: to get out of the boat of mediocrity and walk

931
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:49,919
Speaker 1: on water. Okay, So how did the title come about?

932
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 1: And I love the walcome waterpart because the reason I

933
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: like that because it feels impossible. Yeah, you know, and

934
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 1: that's part you know, from from the Bible. Yeah, it

935
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: was definitely a spiritual undertone to it. Um. I came

936
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: up with it. You know, I actually did this message

937
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: UM back at a retreat in Arizona. I was speaking

938
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 1: at a wellness retreat and I was trying to, you know,

939
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 1: come like with what the message was going to be

940
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,960
Speaker 1: because I was a closing keynote and it really just

941
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 1: I was headlining. I am I come from a line

942
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: of headliners, you know, and so I was I was

943
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what I was going to talk about,

944
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: and it was so many things physically that we happened

945
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: to me during that time. But I remember just coming

946
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,760
Speaker 1: out of meditation and I was quiet, and I started

947
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 1: thinking about like batteries being sold separately, right like when

948
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 1: you the words Christmas would be like for parents when

949
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: you you buy the gift and then there's no batteries included,

950
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: and so the toys just sitting there. But then I

951
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 1: started thinking about like how people come to retreats and conferences,

952
00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: and they come to retreats and conferences and they think

953
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: that the breakthrough is going to be included. That I paid,

954
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,560
Speaker 1: I pay for the ticket, I pay to get here,

955
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 1: and now that you're supposed to give me the breakthrough,

956
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 1: the breakthrough supposed to happen. But that's so separate, that's

957
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: not included. And so in order to get the breakthrough

958
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: in your life, you're going to have to test your faith.

959
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,120
Speaker 1: Brandy Harvey, I will believe me. I will be talking

960
00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:20,680
