And so what 235 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 9: the book does for me and for everybody else, it's 236 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 9: a low entry point to show people all of your knowledge, right, 237 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 9: and it's. 238 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 3: Something to build your legacy. 239 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 9: Like a lot of times we talk about wealth, we 240 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 9: talk about our legacy as it being how much money 241 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 9: you have what you're passing down. But your knowledge is 242 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 9: wealth in itself, right, And so I think a book 243 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 9: is something that's going to live forever. Like I said 244 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 9: this on my Instagram the other day, I read Think 245 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 9: and Grow Rich every single year.

It's still aftable, 251 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 9: and so it's you know, books are one of those 252 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 9: things that can. 253 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: Make your message go viral. It can make your message, 254 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 3: you know, spread wide. 255 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 9: Like I mean, people who read my book don't even 256 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 9: know it's me, right, because at the end of the day, 257 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,959 Speaker 9: if you if you have knowledge and you package it 258 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 9: in a way that people need, people will find that information. 259 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 3: But what it does is it opens up their mind. 260 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 3: And the book is just the industry rate. 261 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 9: Now, once you have the book, if you connect with 262 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 9: the person, you're gonna want to hire them to speak, 263 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 9: You're gonna want to hire them to consult, You're gonna want. 264 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 3: To hire them to do whatever they do. 265 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 9: And so for me, I think everybody, if you're an entrepreneur, 266 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 9: if you whatever, if you got breathing your body. 267 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 3: You should be writing a book because people need to 268 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 3: know your story.

They're always thinking about the music, right, and 308 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 7: his impact is way. 309 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,559 Speaker 3: Bigger than the music. One of the things you talked 310 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 3: about when you were making it. But is the process? 311 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 3: A lot of times when I talk to people a 312 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 3: lot and they're like, yo, I don't have time, I 313 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 3: don't have time. But I'm like, do you have a phone? 314 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 10: Right? 315 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 7: And the process is really quick man, because like all 316 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 7: you're doing is besting records, say those people using their 317 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 7: phone anyway, what you're stuck in drafting if you at 318 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 7: your desk, you're putting chapters. 319 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 3: Out there every single day. Every conversation is a chapter. 320 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 9: Nah, and it's crazy, right, So I think the biggest 321 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 9: thing is, well, people need to realize is that your 322 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 9: book could be written in a month like I putting 323 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:03,839 Speaker 9: out I'm putting. 324 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 3: Out books top you. 325 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 9: Know, you know, top to bottom in two months or less, 326 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 9: and their quality right, so they're. 327 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 3: Not BS books. But what you gotta realize I did this. 328 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 9: Yesterday at a workshop, right, I asked somebody to tell 329 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,640 Speaker 9: me about their business, or take a pen and write 330 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 9: about their business in sixty seconds. 331 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 3: Could not do it. Right, Then I said, yo, tell 332 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 3: me about your business. They get it in thirteen seconds. 333 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 3: So think about that. You write, you write down.

The money game is not to work hard 408 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: for money.

And then 431 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 3: the money that I make for that is passing. So 432 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 3: now I got a little bit of freedom. 433 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 9: So now when I needed a job to family six 434 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 9: figures to match my lifestyle, now because I got rental income, 435 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 9: I don't. 436 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 3: I don't need six figures no more.

And 973 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:20,800 Speaker 3: we need to understand what it looks like to be 974 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,120 Speaker 3: able to scale black businesses. And when you. 975 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 11: Consume, you need to consume with intentions. But then you 976 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,200 Speaker 11: need to understand the difference between support and consumption and. 977 00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 3: What that looks like. So for example, like some of 978 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 3: you may have jobs, right when you got jobs, you 979 00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 3: don't work for jobs, you work for people. 980 00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,719 Speaker 11: So like take for example, myself, a person who's been 981 00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 11: able to grow my business and seven figures by myself, 982 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,600 Speaker 11: and a young black man coming out of color high school. 983 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:45,840 Speaker 5: He's not going to really want. 984 00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 11: To work for me as much as he's gonna want 985 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,399 Speaker 11: to work for the four seasons, right, But the person 986 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,200 Speaker 11: who're working at the Four Seasons. 987 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:53,919 Speaker 3: Make one hundred grand. Ayeaar he got one hundred grand 988 00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 3: to get mindset. 989 00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 5: You see what I'm saying. 990 00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,600 Speaker 11: So, so the difference between supporting consumption and understanding what 991 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:02,400 Speaker 11: that looks, It's like it's similar to understanding what your 992 00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 11: mindset need to be. 993 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 3: When you go out and you buy stuff by stuff, 994 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:07,600 Speaker 3: buy stuff for people. 995 00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,200 Speaker 11: So for me, like when people come into my store, 996 00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 11: they say, you know, I came to support and I'm like, 997 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 11: well shit, this shit timph time here, So now you're 998 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 11: coming a concern And they really didn't understand the difference 999 00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 11: because as black people, when we look at other black entrepreneurs, 1000 00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,080 Speaker 11: we tend to think we're doing them a favor. 1001 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:24,319 Speaker 3: You're not doing them a favor. 1002 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,399 Speaker 11: You build in a community and you're creating an ecosystem. 1003 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,520 Speaker 11: Because we can't look outside ourselves for anything. No one 1004 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 11: has anything for us. Chasing point in my situation, like 1005 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 11: everything that we've done to grow my business has been 1006 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,239 Speaker 11: through ourselves. You see what I'm saying. I always say 1007 00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,040 Speaker 11: like take jay Z, take Puffy, take Russell Simmons. None 1008 00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:47,440 Speaker 11: of them niggas ain't doing nothing together. It's independent they 1009 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,400 Speaker 11: doing anything independent and then they doing a thing independent 1010 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:51,920 Speaker 11: and then at the end of the year the numbers 1011 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 11: get charged up. But when you do see jay z do, 1012 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 11: like the Live Nation deal or to see All that comes, 1013 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 11: it's a white man. When you see Oprah do a 1014 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,919 Speaker 11: lot of deal, they from white people and then they're 1015 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:02,919 Speaker 11: able to trickle back. 1016 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 3: So the whole Live Nation play is a white player. 1017 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 3: The whole uh, what's the movie the Black Panther. The 1018 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 3: whole Black Panther player is a white play. 1019 00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:16,040 Speaker 11: So we need to understand who owns what we talked 1020 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,279 Speaker 11: about like white right, and what that looks like. And 1021 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,520 Speaker 11: then when you buy from the entrepreneur, what's your intention is? 1022 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 5: So are you consuming? 1023 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:24,720 Speaker 9: Are you are you supporting? 1024 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 3: And what does that look like? So for me, it's 1025 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 3: about intentional consumption. 1026 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 2: So you talked about the the other side of the 1027 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,840 Speaker 2: ugly side of entrepreneurship, right and making hard decisions, and. 1028 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 3: You posted some videos about here. 1029 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 2: Even with employees, right, So the restaurant business, you have 1030 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 2: a lot of employees. 1031 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:44,239 Speaker 5: That's like part of it.

Whereas go with me. 1060 00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 11: I'm being straight up with him, and it's it's a 1061 00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 11: little bit difficult to earn his trust because of what 1062 00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,360 Speaker 11: he saw in black man, specifically for black man, we 1063 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 11: don't grow up in communities where we had fathers. 1064 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 3: So I know for me, it was a struggle to 1065 00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 3: trust a black man. And I was resistant to that 1066 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:10,279 Speaker 3: so much so. 1067 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 11: That that my father would try to tell me, what 1068 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,160 Speaker 11: the dude, I'm bucking automatically, you see what I'm saying. 1069 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 11: So when I had a lot of young black men 1070 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,399 Speaker 11: working for me, it was so much resistance. They didn't 1071 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 11: understand I was laying that up from south out here, 1072 00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 11: you kicking point even with my own brother. 1073 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,360 Speaker 3: Right.

Wow, wow, I'm sitting right here, 1084 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:54,279 Speaker 3: right here. 1085 00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:56,880 Speaker 11: But it's every day though, every day we give out 1086 00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,560 Speaker 11: black entrepreneurs so much bullshit. 1087 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,520 Speaker 9: So much to deal with, from the entrepreneur side. 1088 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 11: Of hiring people to the consumer side of people coming 1089 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,880 Speaker 11: into a space and feeling like it' should own it. 1090 00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 3: Same thing I had with a woman one time. 1091 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 11: We opened at nine o'clock. She came at nine oh five. 1092 00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 11: She said, well, I came at nine oh five. The 1093 00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 11: door was locked, so I'm never coming back. I said, well, 1094 00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 11: do you like the restaurant? 1095 00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:19,759 Speaker 3: She said, I love it. I said, do you like 1096 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,560 Speaker 3: the food? She said, I love it. I said, but 1097 00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:24,359 Speaker 3: you never coming back? She said, no, I'm never coming back. 1098 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 3: I said, why did you say that? 1099 00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 11: You don't really focus on them, because a lot of 1100 00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,279 Speaker 11: times i's as black and brown people. We got a 1101 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,640 Speaker 11: lot of slashes, Like we just had slash, We cook 1102 00:45:31,680 --> 00:45:32,320 Speaker 11: them and slash. 1103 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,000 Speaker 3: So for me to in order to scale, you got focused. 1104 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:37,959 Speaker 3: So I scaled the business. Ye, it's a one plus 1105 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 3: one equal to model. So I go back to when 1106 00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:41,840 Speaker 3: I was in the street saying, you know, if you 1107 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,640 Speaker 3: buy one break you stay down to sell it and 1108 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:45,520 Speaker 3: you get another one. 1109 00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:47,960 Speaker 11: A lot of people don't really talk about how important 1110 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:51,600 Speaker 11: it is to save, saving, sacrifice, equal scaleing. 1111 00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 3: So those are the three essays that we typically talk about. 1112 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,799 Speaker 3: So like, for example, this year, I got a five restaurants, 1113 00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 3: got a True Foods, So that's seventh strings of income. 1114 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,719 Speaker 11: And I remember arrest aware that the average million that 1115 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,000 Speaker 11: had seven strings of income. 1116 00:46:06,280 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 3: And then now we sell product through those. 1117 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 11: Restaurants and merchandise, so then now that's twenty one strings 1118 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,239 Speaker 11: of income. So my goal is by the time that 1119 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 11: I get forty years old, I'll have twenty twenty five 1120 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 11: to thirty strings of income coming in. But it's the 1121 00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 11: lonely place for me because I'm scaling. But when I 1122 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 11: look to my left and to my right and I 1123 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,279 Speaker 11: see my fellow black entrepreneurs that kind of close to 1124 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,440 Speaker 11: me on higher level, they's just doing. 1125 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,560 Speaker 3: Their own thing on their own shop, and like when 1126 00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,160 Speaker 3: you talk to him, it's like, yeah, that's cool, that's 1127 00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 3: what's up.

So a lot 1143 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:09,840 Speaker 11: of times I tend not to speak about business. I 1144 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,680 Speaker 11: speak more about social skills and how we need to 1145 00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,400 Speaker 11: grow and come out of certain timers because even if 1146 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 11: you get that tax business, you can give up on them. 1147 00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:21,120 Speaker 11: Even if you get that restaurant, you can give up 1148 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:22,879 Speaker 11: on it, or you can sing what fun it ain't 1149 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 11: hearing black people. 1150 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,680 Speaker 3: You see what I'm saying.

I 1391 00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,480 Speaker 3: got a creative give back piece. So now let's go 1392 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,760 Speaker 3: into the new year. So going into the New York. 1393 00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,920 Speaker 11: I got the seventh stores, right, I'm on, I got 1394 00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,360 Speaker 11: the seventh store. So with the seventh stores, they not 1395 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,960 Speaker 11: my stores. Those stores are for my guys. So what 1396 00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:05,880 Speaker 11: we do now is we all work. So we worked 1397 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 11: in seven entities, right, and we make enough money every 1398 00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:09,920 Speaker 11: quarter to buy a new entity. 1399 00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,920 Speaker 3: And now what I'm doing, I got owner operators. So 1400 00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:14,920 Speaker 3: it got bigger than me. And I said to myself, 1401 00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,480 Speaker 3: how can I provide a level of structure, how can 1402 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:20,680 Speaker 3: I provide a system? And how can I provide a 1403 00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 3: clean brand? 1404 00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,160 Speaker 11: Because in our culture, like all we knew was like 1405 00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 11: Mom and Pops, the agents had everything. It wasn't no 1406 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:32,040 Speaker 11: clean black brand.

But it transcends the stereotype. 1409 00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:38,800 Speaker 11: And I typically go in higher in white neighborhoods because 1410 00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:40,400 Speaker 11: it's a real estate piece to it. 1411 00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:42,439 Speaker 3: But then it's also a place where all black people 1412 00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:46,400 Speaker 3: feel coupic becoming. So now I've decided to replicate their model, 1413 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,040 Speaker 3: right and being able to build that out and now 1414 00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:50,720 Speaker 3: pass it to the next man.

I think you gotta get to a 1443 01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,520 Speaker 11: space where there's a level of fulfillment and it's an 1444 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:17,360 Speaker 11: even tone. 1445 01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,240 Speaker 3: Amongst you and the people that you work for.

If he ain't trying 1454 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:40,840 Speaker 3: to go nowhere, get out of that. 1455 01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:42,920 Speaker 11: But if there's a place for you to be able 1456 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 11: to grow in itself, I always believe in sticking choice, 1457 01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:47,840 Speaker 11: stick to it.

I like that, exceptle 1649 01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:40,200 Speaker 5: because it's like a lot of time people. 1650 01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,439 Speaker 2: Look for money, but you're literally in that scenario, you're 1651 01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 2: driving past money and you don't even see it. 1652 01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:45,519 Speaker 5: You see it, but you don't see it. 1653 01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:46,040 Speaker 3: You know. 1654 01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,120 Speaker 17: One of the biggest things I thought was BS when 1655 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:51,320 Speaker 17: it was like, YO, don't go chase money solve problems. 1656 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,040 Speaker 3: I never like you know as somebody that was broken 1657 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:54,839 Speaker 3: had a broke mindset. 1658 01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:56,840 Speaker 17: I thought it was stupid, like, yeah, we gotta go 1659 01:08:56,920 --> 01:08:58,400 Speaker 17: up to the back. But the reality is you need 1660 01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:02,280 Speaker 17: to solve problems. And seeing a house that's abandoned when 1661 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,759 Speaker 17: you're solving so many problems, when you have the taxes 1662 01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,000 Speaker 17: of not being paid so the city government is not 1663 01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,240 Speaker 17: collecting taxes on the house in the last six years, 1664 01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:13,400 Speaker 17: then you have the neighborhood is depreciating because of the 1665 01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:15,640 Speaker 17: physical status of the house next door to it. So 1666 01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,680 Speaker 17: the neighbors hated. Right, then it's not safe. You know, 1667 01:09:18,880 --> 01:09:20,800 Speaker 17: it could be something that's not supposed to be a 1668 01:09:20,880 --> 01:09:21,880 Speaker 17: trap house, right, It. 1669 01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:23,720 Speaker 3: Was just all types of things. So you start, you 1670 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,400 Speaker 3: solve so many problems by fixing that house. 1671 01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:28,599 Speaker 17: You can put people in it that actually are meeting 1672 01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:30,320 Speaker 17: a house, deserving to have a house. 1673 01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:32,880 Speaker 2: Yes a fact, and one of the things that we 1674 01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,240 Speaker 2: ain't get to talk about either is mindset, because I 1675 01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:38,200 Speaker 2: know that's real big for you as well, like a 1676 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,040 Speaker 2: lot of even you're speaking engagements is mindset. So we 1677 01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:44,240 Speaker 2: talked about before with the real estate or can you 1678 01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:45,040 Speaker 2: talk about that for. 1679 01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:46,559 Speaker 3: A little bit as far as in the thirty Day 1680 01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:51,080 Speaker 3: challenge man. Yeah, so mindset. Mindset is like the biggest thing. 1681 01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,800 Speaker 17: And you know, as black people, we don't address a 1682 01:09:54,840 --> 01:09:56,320 Speaker 17: lot of the things that we have on our mind 1683 01:09:56,960 --> 01:09:59,200 Speaker 17: or just the way we were brought up, right, So 1684 01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:02,519 Speaker 17: we have to challenge is the way we think. You know, 1685 01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:06,080 Speaker 17: everybody who's everybody's grown up different. But you know, I 1686 01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,479 Speaker 17: talk about like, so the brain has neurons. 1687 01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:09,640 Speaker 3: I don't know if you I don't know if I 1688 01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:12,160 Speaker 3: said this already, but no, no you didn't, but not 1689 01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:14,120 Speaker 3: on Yeah, so the brain, the brain. 1690 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,360 Speaker 17: Has neurons in it, and in order for something to happen, 1691 01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:20,320 Speaker 17: these two neurons fire off at each other like sent 1692 01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,000 Speaker 17: electrical pults between each other. 1693 01:10:22,479 --> 01:10:22,639 Speaker 3: Right. 1694 01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:24,960 Speaker 17: So they say, when you grow up, you are a 1695 01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:28,160 Speaker 17: compromised that the most the ten people you hang around with. Right, So, 1696 01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,439 Speaker 17: from your kid to your adult, you hang around on 1697 01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:32,760 Speaker 17: an average of ten people, and you're a fabric. 1698 01:10:32,479 --> 01:10:35,280 Speaker 3: Of those ten people put together, whether it's good or bad. 1699 01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:36,120 Speaker 9: Right. 1700 01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:39,800 Speaker 3: So, being that you start to do things naturally that 1701 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:41,840 Speaker 3: you just see every day, you start to do it. 1702 01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:42,080 Speaker 9: Right. 1703 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:44,320 Speaker 3: So an example I usually give is how many you ever. 1704 01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,800 Speaker 17: Left work one day and then just ended up in 1705 01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:49,599 Speaker 17: the driveway like you didn't even think about your. 1706 01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:50,599 Speaker 3: Left turn your right turn. 1707 01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,040 Speaker 17: So that is your brain just firing off those those 1708 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,040 Speaker 17: neurons that you've done so for so long. 1709 01:10:55,479 --> 01:10:58,000 Speaker 3: So it happens is in order to challenge those thoughts, 1710 01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:00,600 Speaker 3: you have to have a complete opposite thought, right, So 1711 01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:03,160 Speaker 3: your brain fires off these exact. 1712 01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,280 Speaker 17: Neurons over and over again to where it says, you know, 1713 01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:07,479 Speaker 17: I'm just gonna throw like an Ethernet cord between these 1714 01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:08,559 Speaker 17: two neurons. 1715 01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:10,400 Speaker 3: That way, I don't have to think about it. It 1716 01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:11,799 Speaker 3: just becomes a natural reaction. 1717 01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:16,080 Speaker 17: So in order to break that high speed connection between 1718 01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:18,599 Speaker 17: those two neurons, you got to have a complete opposite, 1719 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:21,400 Speaker 17: challenging thought. So for me, it was like when I 1720 01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:23,320 Speaker 17: read the book, so I'm dyslexic. Most of you guys 1721 01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,160 Speaker 17: don't do read terribly, right. What would take you two 1722 01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:28,960 Speaker 17: hours to read might take me six days, right, So 1723 01:11:29,040 --> 01:11:31,680 Speaker 17: everything just takes it a little bit longer. So when 1724 01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:33,840 Speaker 17: they came out with like you could listen to books 1725 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:36,920 Speaker 17: at like thirty one thirty, I read Rich Dad four Dad, 1726 01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,559 Speaker 17: and it was just a book. The story I don't 1727 01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:41,960 Speaker 17: even know if it's real story enough, but it made 1728 01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:44,120 Speaker 17: me challenge the way I've just learned everything, and it 1729 01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,400 Speaker 17: was like, well, what if everything I learned was wrong? 1730 01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:48,720 Speaker 3: So let me just go through the day and just 1731 01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:50,800 Speaker 3: start challenging myself, challenging my brain. 1732 01:11:51,240 --> 01:11:54,200 Speaker 17: And with that it just started. Things just started happening, 1733 01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:56,800 Speaker 17: and I started learning what money really was right, and 1734 01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:58,839 Speaker 17: then like just everything. 1735 01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:02,080 Speaker 3: So I think the mind set because everything that we 1736 01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,519 Speaker 3: want to accomplish this is already out there. Right, it's 1737 01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:06,840 Speaker 3: on the internet. It's for free. You know what I'm saying. 1738 01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:07,760 Speaker 3: It's like it's out there. 1739 01:12:07,960 --> 01:12:09,639 Speaker 17: But what happened is the reason why we can't receive 1740 01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:12,200 Speaker 17: it because our mindset is not ready for it. We're 1741 01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:14,519 Speaker 17: not ready to be rich. You know, my man talking 1742 01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:16,599 Speaker 17: about you. You got to forecast that rich. We want 1743 01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:18,320 Speaker 17: the money we have the like, yo, why we want it? 1744 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,200 Speaker 17: So we're conditioned in a way that we just have 1745 01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:24,640 Speaker 17: to change and it just we got to have these 1746 01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:28,000 Speaker 17: provocate conversations. What's so crazy is like this year we've 1747 01:12:28,000 --> 01:12:30,479 Speaker 17: traveled with Dave and I is my director of media, 1748 01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:33,400 Speaker 17: our creative director. We've done over two hundred and sixty 1749 01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,400 Speaker 17: thousand miles in a plane this year. 1750 01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:39,559 Speaker 3: Right, and when you're growing a brand, now I'm doing intentionally. 1751 01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:40,360 Speaker 3: You can do it two ways. 1752 01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:42,720 Speaker 17: You can spend a lot of money on Facebook ads 1753 01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 17: and all that stuff, or you can go. 1754 01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,840 Speaker 3: Around and touch people's hands and hug people. 1755 01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:47,599 Speaker 9: Right. 1756 01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:50,679 Speaker 17: So what's been so cool is like five ten years ago, 1757 01:12:51,160 --> 01:12:53,600 Speaker 17: these are not not the conversations we would having. This 1758 01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:55,920 Speaker 17: would have been a VIP section for a Little Wain concert. 1759 01:12:57,040 --> 01:12:57,160 Speaker 9: Right. 1760 01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 17: So now we're sitting here talking about how to feel 1761 01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,879 Speaker 17: wealth through real estate, how to do things outside. 1762 01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:03,960 Speaker 3: This is if we keep this up for the next 1763 01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:05,960 Speaker 3: ten years, we're gonna change the fabric of this. 1764 01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:07,000 Speaker 9: Right. 1765 01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,719 Speaker 3: So we're like beginning of something that is so dupe 1766 01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:13,080 Speaker 3: that we're not talking. We're not doing enormous stuff anymore. 1767 01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:14,960 Speaker 3: And one of the things you told us, like off camera, 1768 01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,360 Speaker 3: was like, Yo, I love what y'all doing, and y'all 1769 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:19,519 Speaker 3: giving it for free.

But 1986 01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:21,760 Speaker 3: you know it's something good. 1987 01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:23,760 Speaker 17: The reason why I know is because Ralph Lauren is 1988 01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:25,160 Speaker 17: trying to buy the property next to ours. 1989 01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:29,719 Speaker 3: So you know, you got to get on before that happens, 1990 01:22:29,800 --> 01:22:29,920 Speaker 3: you know. 1991 01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:32,360 Speaker 17: But always reach back wherever your roots are, wherever you 1992 01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:33,799 Speaker 17: feel comfortable at, go back. 1993 01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:36,360 Speaker 3: There and it'd be something that's in my family forever. 1994 01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:37,960 Speaker 5: And that's that's the top part too. 1995 01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:39,479 Speaker 2: Because I saw you put on Instagram you had like 1996 01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:40,960 Speaker 2: the architect my family. 1997 01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:44,679 Speaker 5: That's family, Yeah, my architect, that's my cousin. What everybody? 1998 01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:45,559 Speaker 5: Because I see like four. 1999 01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:49,200 Speaker 17: People my brother's and c all so he runs the operations. 2000 01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,920 Speaker 17: My cousin draws the plans and he's also an engineer. 2001 01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:53,920 Speaker 17: And then I have a cousin that's a realtive. 2002 01:22:54,040 --> 01:23:01,439 Speaker 3: So everybody, everybody, everybody family hasn't been working a pay right. 2003 01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:02,400 Speaker 9: Yeah, so how is it? 2004 01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:04,320 Speaker 5: How is it working with family?

You know, 2007 01:23:08,560 --> 01:23:10,160 Speaker 17: I think the reason why it's hard to work with 2008 01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:12,960 Speaker 17: family is because you don't have an open line of communication. 2009 01:23:13,680 --> 01:23:15,920 Speaker 3: And I think being the middle. 2010 01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:19,880 Speaker 17: Child, all my older siblings work for me, work with me, 2011 01:23:20,040 --> 01:23:21,840 Speaker 17: not for me. We all work together because it's it's 2012 01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:25,800 Speaker 17: the same family. Because when something happened is in my family, 2013 01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:27,960 Speaker 17: we all got to take care of you. And it 2014 01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:29,680 Speaker 17: don't matter right now. I got the bag and it. 2015 01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:32,600 Speaker 3: Might be my brother next time. So we all just 2016 01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:36,400 Speaker 3: I enjoy it because the trust issue is never there. 2017 01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:40,479 Speaker 3: Me and my brother argue absolutely, but we always come 2018 01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:41,519 Speaker 3: back to a sense of yo. 2019 01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:43,120 Speaker 17: At the end of the day, we're brothers.

Yeah, so 2260 01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:01,719 Speaker 5: that's important. 2261 01:34:01,800 --> 01:34:04,560 Speaker 17: So we have we spent a lot of time, you know, 2262 01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:06,559 Speaker 17: you guys know it's a lot to put this stuff together. 2263 01:34:07,439 --> 01:34:09,639 Speaker 17: So what we do is we have a content model 2264 01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:12,200 Speaker 17: where we take it long format content. Right, So we've 2265 01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:15,760 Speaker 17: been traveling for the last whatever, right, so we got here. 2266 01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:18,200 Speaker 17: Dave's always got the camera. I've always miked up. 2267 01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:22,000 Speaker 3: So we take the long format of video, which you 2268 01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:24,400 Speaker 3: so he record for three days if you're gonna see 2269 01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:27,400 Speaker 3: a twenty minute video, So we'll take that twenty. 2270 01:34:27,240 --> 01:34:29,679 Speaker 17: Minute video and then we'll turn that into thirty pieces 2271 01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:32,840 Speaker 17: of content. Right, So we'll take a thirty minute video, 2272 01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:36,080 Speaker 17: and then I'll take fifteen second clips and put them 2273 01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:39,640 Speaker 17: on ig Story. I'll take one minute clips and put 2274 01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:40,599 Speaker 17: them on the regular IG. 2275 01:34:40,880 --> 01:34:43,000 Speaker 3: I'll also throw them on Snapchat. I'll put them on 2276 01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:43,880 Speaker 3: all these other places. 2277 01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:47,280 Speaker 17: But it always leads back to that main vertical of 2278 01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:50,760 Speaker 17: YouTube content, right, YouTube cuts to check right. The reason 2279 01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:52,840 Speaker 17: why I can keep putting out free information is because 2280 01:34:52,880 --> 01:34:54,920 Speaker 17: YouTube is gonna pay for the staff. I got four 2281 01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:57,840 Speaker 17: staff members that only deal with like putting out content 2282 01:34:57,880 --> 01:34:59,960 Speaker 17: and brand. So if I don't have the YouTube money 2283 01:35:00,040 --> 01:35:01,679 Speaker 17: over there, then I gotta slow down on the content 2284 01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:04,439 Speaker 17: for that. So everything we do, we have a big 2285 01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:07,000 Speaker 17: macro and we break it down to the micro pieces. 2286 01:35:07,160 --> 01:35:09,640 Speaker 3: The gutter model that's there, you go. That's why I 2287 01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:11,519 Speaker 3: gave one hundred and fifty thousand dollars to speak. We 2288 01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:13,200 Speaker 3: got a true question belief.
