Speaker 3: I rock with you, yo, like you said, I rock
Speaker 3: with you, Da da da. I'm gonna support you. I'm
Speaker 3: gonna do this. I'm gonna do that. We should do
Speaker 3: something together. Well, you haven't done anything.
Speaker 1: Most people ain't did nothing, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So I look at it from you like I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, you came to us with the idea and
Speaker 3: it was a no brainer. I feel like, you know,
Speaker 3: the voice that you have is needed for the generation
Speaker 3: and it fills a gap because in this.
Speaker 1: World of.
Speaker 3: Everybody's just showing what they have as far as lifestyle
Speaker 3: marketing or as toxic or you know, relationship banter or
Speaker 3: you know, everybody's just copying. It was like the once
Speaker 3: the financial literacy thing got popular, everybody wanted to kind
Speaker 3: of follow that mode. So everybody's a copycat, right, And
Speaker 3: it's like you you standing and doing something that is
Speaker 3: not really replica, Like you can't replicate what you're doing.
Speaker 3: And that's why nobody's really copying it at scale because
Speaker 3: you can't have three hour conversations about physics and you know,
Speaker 3: race relations and aliens like you can't. That's difficult to do.
Speaker 3: It's easy to get in front of a mic and
Speaker 3: talk about, you know, should your girl pay fifty to
Speaker 3: fifty shit like that.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: Anybody, anybody can have that conversation, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: But you know, you you you fill the void that
Speaker 3: was needed. So you know, when looking at you know,
Speaker 3: growing what we have as far as content, Okay, we
Speaker 3: have finance shows, earn Aleisia market Mondays pretty much got
Speaker 3: that covered right. We don't need necessarily need to keep adding.
Speaker 3: Now it kind of becomes competitive. This is a breath
Speaker 3: of fresh air and obviously, like you know, it's it's
Speaker 3: taking off the way it has. But then even outside that,
Speaker 3: it's just a brotherhood and a relationship that we have
Speaker 3: with each other that you know, regardless of a show,
Speaker 3: we still have a really.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I was cool with y'all before the show.
Speaker 4: It just made sense in the sense of a bridge.
Speaker 4: Let's bridge these worlds together. Let's start keeping them so separate,
Speaker 4: like because they all merge, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: and they all in alignment, the same people that's interested
Speaker 4: in intellect and consciousness and metaphysics and all these other
Speaker 4: different conversations. They need money, right, We can't go to
Speaker 4: war with our money. We got to get our finances straight, right,
Speaker 4: Like we gotta Like it's up to our generation to
Speaker 4: be the bridge to where like nah, we communicating with
Speaker 4: each other. It's not like you third good Marshall over here,
Speaker 4: I'm wb the boys is Martin, Luther King and his Malcolm.
Speaker 4: It's like, na, we're in the same room having the
Speaker 4: same discussion, maybe from different perspectives, but we got the
Speaker 4: same war that we're fighting, right, And so it gets
Speaker 4: me to my last point, and the last point is
Speaker 4: just about conflict resolution. Right, how do you manage conflict resolution?
Speaker 4: Because I want somebody that talks to everybody, and I
Speaker 4: feel like I'm always, you know, figuring out conflict resolution, right,
Speaker 4: because I believe that we have bigger enemies than each other, right,
Speaker 4: And I believe that the one thing that we haven't
Speaker 4: done yet is unify and it's the hardest thing on
Speaker 4: the planet. So whoever accomplish it deserves a Nobil Peace Prize.
Speaker 4: But there's always going to be conflict. We're young, it's new,
Speaker 4: we're maturing. There's not a foundation or system that we're
Speaker 4: coming through to be like, all right, when this happens,
Speaker 4: we're going to settle this dispute this way, right, So
Speaker 4: we have to figure it out as men to just
Speaker 4: come together to be like, all right, let's stop this
Speaker 4: before it goes here, and let's continue to build. We
Speaker 4: have to check ourselves, right, We have to deal with
Speaker 4: other people, our own egos, their egos. There's so much
Speaker 4: that goes into that. So for you, being in a
Speaker 4: position of leadership, how do you go about your process
Speaker 4: of conflict resolution?
Speaker 3: You try to work out difference is that there's issues
Speaker 3: and at a certain point you realize sometimes that you
Speaker 3: can't work out issues. So every person is not your brother.
Speaker 3: Every black person is not an ally to you. Right, Jealousy, envy,
Speaker 3: these are traits that are colorless. Right, We're just gonna
Speaker 3: be honest, and this is this is either human traits.
Speaker 3: So what you realize is that if you if you can't,
Speaker 3: if you can't resolve a problem, it's best to remove
Speaker 3: yourself from a situation. And that's okay. We all don't
Speaker 3: have to be an alliance. We don't need every single
Speaker 3: person to work together. We need people to work together.
Speaker 3: So you might work together in this silo. I might
Speaker 3: work together in this silo. We might work together to
Speaker 3: this silo. We might have some level of communication from
Speaker 3: other people that are maybe are in communication with all silos.
Speaker 3: But there's never gonna be a time when every single
Speaker 3: person on earth is working together, every single black person
Speaker 3: is working together. It's just not gonna happen, right. But
Speaker 3: I think it comes from a maturity standpoint of understanding
Speaker 3: that a lot of people have trauma that are beyond you.
Speaker 3: There's nothing to do with you, right, So what I
Speaker 3: realize is that mental health is real. That's why I
Speaker 3: don't argue with people anymore. Once it gets to the
Speaker 3: point of art, I'm blocking your number, right because when
Speaker 3: I realize that there's no getting through to you, or
Speaker 3: that this is this has become a pattern of dyfunction
Speaker 3: because it's happened multiple times. You might say something, you apologize,
Speaker 3: and you say something you apologize. This is like being
Speaker 3: in a relationships, like being a toxic relationship. Right, I'm
Speaker 3: removing myself from that situation because I'm not the person
Speaker 3: that can help you, right, I'm not your spouse, Like
Speaker 3: I'm not with you twenty hours a day. I'm not
Speaker 3: sitting with you. I'm not taking you. You probably do
Speaker 3: need therapy, you probably do need to have a more
Speaker 3: advanced conversation. But me trying to play that mediator is
Speaker 3: only going to weigh on my on my psyche, It's
Speaker 3: going to bring down my vibe. So I'm removing myself
Speaker 3: from that situation, right. So, because it's like, what's the alternative.
Speaker 3: We can just keep going back and forth and not
Speaker 3: agreeing on things, and eventually it can turn violent, and
Speaker 3: that's always an option as well, but that's not productive.
Speaker 3: Nobody wins in that situation, whether it's physical violence, whether
Speaker 3: it's internet violence, whether it's verbal violence.
Speaker 1: Like, you know, we live in a.
Speaker 3: Time where men are more emotional than women, right, And
Speaker 3: people they treat social media or they'll treat you know,
Speaker 3: things like their diary. Right, And they go on and
Speaker 3: they'll say what they'll say a variety of different things,
Speaker 3: and it's like, well, okay, did that solve anything. It
Speaker 3: might have made you feel better in that moment, but
Speaker 3: once again, that more speaks to your insecurity as a person. Right.
Speaker 3: So it's like, you know, as far as conflict resolution,
Speaker 3: the best thing to do is have a conversation and
Speaker 3: try to figure out what the differences are. Hopefully that
Speaker 3: leads to an issue being solved. Sometimes that does not
Speaker 3: lead to an issue being solved because there's still issues
Speaker 3: and it still pops up. The next best thing that
Speaker 3: you can do is remove yourself from the situation. Right,
Speaker 3: there's no harm, no foul. I don't necessarily have to
Speaker 3: be the best friends with you. We don't agree on things, right,
Speaker 3: I see the world one way. You see the world
Speaker 3: another way. How I view you is one way. How
Speaker 3: you view me as another way. You think that you
Speaker 3: don't agree with something that I'm doing. I don't agree
Speaker 3: with something that you're doing. Instead of us battling each other,
Speaker 3: because that's going to lead to Now, that's going to
Speaker 3: lead to a real problem eventually. Right, the best thing
Speaker 3: that we that we can do is walk away from
Speaker 3: each other. This is like a relationship, men and women,
Speaker 3: the same thing.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: You try to work it out with your spouse, your fiance,
Speaker 3: your girlfriend. You try to work it out before you
Speaker 3: go different ways. Sometimes it does not work out.
Speaker 1: That's okay.
Speaker 3: It's better to just go your separate ways.
Speaker 1: You'll have a great life.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have a great life as opposed to staying
Speaker 3: in a household and then you verbally fight with each
Speaker 3: other and then somebody's gonna end up getting hurt. This
Speaker 3: is a that's a perfect example of what even with men,
Speaker 3: right like you, if you've ever been in a toxic relationship,
Speaker 3: you've been in the household, it's gonna something bad is
Speaker 3: gonna happen. The best thing that you can do is
Speaker 3: remove yourself from the household. The best thing that I
Speaker 3: can do if I'm in a relationship with somebody and
Speaker 3: we can't see eye to eye, just remove myself from
Speaker 3: that relationship.
Speaker 1: That's it.
Speaker 3: So you know, that's that's my thoughts on conflict resolution
Speaker 3: is that it should never lead to a point where
Speaker 3: there's verbal attacks, physical violence, tearing somebody's name like you
Speaker 3: know that to me is that that's more of an immature,
Speaker 3: insecure way to way to go about it, especially if
Speaker 3: it's not a real, real problem. We got a real problem,
Speaker 3: then nine times out of ten, we're not even gonna
Speaker 3: speak it anyway. When we see each other, it's going
Speaker 3: to be a problem, but it ain't no real problem.
Speaker 3: Like most of the time on any level, on the internet,
Speaker 3: on the streets, it is never really a real problem.
Speaker 3: Most of the time the problems is not real. It's
Speaker 3: because you know, I don't like the way you looked
Speaker 3: at me, type shit, or you you said something that
Speaker 3: I didn't agree with behind my back and somebody told me,
Speaker 3: or I came back to me, or you know, try
Speaker 3: to talk to my girl at a party I wasn't.
Speaker 3: It ain't Is that worth losing your life over? Probably not,
Speaker 3: But in the heat of the moment, that's what that's
Speaker 3: what it comes down to. Like it ain't very few
Speaker 3: times is it real issues, Like somebody stole a million
Speaker 3: dollars from you, somebody kidnapped your kid, somebody ran in
Speaker 3: your mom's house. These are real issues that happened, but
Speaker 3: that's not the majority. Most of the time, when you
Speaker 3: really look at this shit as petty you you yo,
Speaker 3: you you wearing these sneakers. I had the sneakers first.
Speaker 3: I don't like the way you're trying to ruin my vibe.
Speaker 3: You're trying to bite my style type shit.
Speaker 1: I under sand. Yeah.
Speaker 4: I was looking at the founders of the Constitution. It
Speaker 4: was all like their late twenties, early thirties, and I'm like,
Speaker 4: how did these men be able to sit down and
Speaker 4: decide that this is how we're about to govern and
Speaker 4: rule our future. They just sat down, locked in for
Speaker 4: like thirty sixty days, and so let's come up with
Speaker 4: the rules.
Speaker 1: Let's go set the foundation for the future, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean.
Speaker 4: And they argue with each other throughout the process, probably
Speaker 4: damn their fault right, bigger back and forth, but they
Speaker 4: didn't leave until they had this constitution done. And I'm
Speaker 4: believe it's something that we can learn from because what
Speaker 4: would have kept you in that room and in that
Speaker 4: process is thinking about something that's bigger than yourself. I
Speaker 4: don't like this, Nick, but let's get this done, because
Speaker 4: if I just stick through it and we get this done,
Speaker 4: this gonna benefit my family, all families for the rest
Speaker 4: of the time in America is still being governed by
Speaker 4: that same constitution more or less. Right, So I think
Speaker 4: about our positions and how if we really want to
Speaker 4: take these positions serious, Right, there has to be hot
Speaker 4: something higher than ourselves that gods us to be like,
Speaker 4: I'm not going to do this because this is more important.
Speaker 4: And I believe that's why it's so easy to have conflict,
Speaker 4: because we don't have common vision, right, we don't have
Speaker 4: common values. The most important thing to us is ourselves. Right,
Speaker 4: this is my motive, this is your movement. Nothing is
Speaker 4: bigger than that. It's like, damn, there's actually stuff bigger
Speaker 4: than that. And if we had that as a common goal,
Speaker 4: it's a reason that Malcolm and a Martin would sit down.
Speaker 4: Because the common is our people. The coming is freedom,
Speaker 4: the common is like liberation. But it's really thinking about
Speaker 4: all the time, what's that commonality? And yes, doing war,
Speaker 4: there's many different strategies that you can go about taking.
Speaker 4: I just want us, as melanated men to think about
Speaker 4: the future that we could have if we learn to
Speaker 4: move an alliance and have a cooperation and come to agreement.
Speaker 4: Agreement does not mean that, you know, y'all like each other.
Speaker 4: People wars their treaties, and there's agreements, and there's packs
Speaker 4: that had had nothing to do with y'all like in
Speaker 4: each other. It's understanding that something is bigger, right, and
Speaker 4: that's usually the future. You know what I'm saying, Like, Yo,
Speaker 4: this is gonna be better for our people. I'm gonna
Speaker 4: lose so many men on this side, so many soldiers
Speaker 4: on this side. We go fight, we go do this.
Speaker 4: This is gonna be bad for the culture, It's gonna
Speaker 4: be bad for everything. So how about we come down
Speaker 4: and sit with a treaty. How about we have a pact.
Speaker 4: How about we take some sort of oath of something
Speaker 4: that's bigger than ourselves. And I think what we have
Speaker 4: to challenge ourselves as first to think, think about that
Speaker 4: one thing that's bigger than ourselves, and then that is
Speaker 4: the thing that we have a commonality and build a
Speaker 4: bridge about, because everything else under that we go war about.
Speaker 4: But up here, it's a reason that the blood and
Speaker 4: Crypts are come together. It's a reason that the Muslims
Speaker 4: and Christians are come together. There's a reason that any
Speaker 4: group of people who have a common cause and vision
Speaker 4: that's bigger than themselves, it will be bigger than they faith,
Speaker 4: they nationality, they business, whatever it is, and be like, yeah,
Speaker 4: all right, for the sake of this, I'll find harmony,
Speaker 4: an alliance, and we'll move forward based on this agreement.
Speaker 4: And therefore we can run and rule and control the
Speaker 4: future because we are in such beautiful position. Is that
Speaker 4: it's too much at stake right to allow the ripple
Speaker 4: effect of what comes from that disharmonious relationship that we
Speaker 4: have with each other, because we're not thinking about something bigger,
Speaker 4: which is the people. The people are the ones who
Speaker 4: suffered the most when the leaders wore right. And there's
Speaker 4: so many families, young men that's looking up to us,
Speaker 4: young women that's looking up to us, and the ripple
Speaker 4: effects of all the families that we're going to be
Speaker 4: able to affect. Sometimes I wish I didn't have a
Speaker 4: heart to want to saw things. Sometimes I wish I
Speaker 4: was just all war, all bull all the time. But
Speaker 4: I've seen so many different wars growing up, seen so
Speaker 4: many people die. I think I lost ten twelve homies
Speaker 4: before I was nineteen years old. So I got people
Speaker 4: that didn't die that I haven't even had grief over.
Speaker 4: I have people that die while they still living because
Speaker 4: they're not who they used to be and they could
Speaker 4: have been a great leader and they could have been
Speaker 4: a great contribution to the world. And I know people
Speaker 4: that took out other people and daughters and all of
Speaker 4: it was pointless.
Speaker 1: All of it. So it's like, what is a higher degree?
Speaker 4: And when you think about the people, right, that's always
Speaker 4: something bigger than self.
Speaker 1: How is this going to affect the people? Right?
Speaker 4: And I think that if we come together because of
Speaker 4: that constitution, it starts off with we the people. We
Speaker 4: have to have a common OAP. We have to have
Speaker 4: a preamble, we have to have a constitution right, and
Speaker 4: then therefore we have a way to solve all.
Speaker 1: Conflicts for something bigger than ourselves.
Speaker 4: But I want to thank you for being here, appreciate
Speaker 4: Its a dope, beautiful, powerful conversation. And I just want
Speaker 4: people that's sitting out there that's listening to think about
Speaker 4: how you want to add you know. I know, like Rashid,
Speaker 4: like myself and other people, we're not looking for more followers,
Speaker 4: looking for leaders you look at this thing and be like, man,
Speaker 4: I can run this part for yall can run this.
Speaker 1: I can run this. I had to Epiphan the other.
Speaker 4: Death say, you know, we talk about college out some
Speaker 4: things of that nature, but really those are all a
Speaker 4: whole lot of leaders there. They got a lot of
Speaker 4: skill sets that I can utilize, that we can utilize.
Speaker 4: You can run a whole organization for me and create
Speaker 4: your own job, and I got the platform for you.
Speaker 4: I want people to look at what we're doing and
Speaker 4: see what you can add. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 4: Like love it, don't hate it, right, contribute to it
Speaker 4: so that we can build together, be in an addition,
Speaker 4: not subtraction. You don't have to understand it, but reach out. Now,
Speaker 4: we're not going to be able to get to everybody.
Speaker 4: That's where patients come in. That's what understanding the process.
Speaker 4: But I have so many people over the last month
Speaker 4: been reaching out and say, bro, I can lead this,
Speaker 4: I can lead that. I can lead that cause I
Speaker 4: don't want you to be driven by money, because you're
Speaker 4: only going to do as much.
Speaker 1: As I pay you for.
Speaker 4: I need you to be driven by the passion and
Speaker 4: the love for it, right, because then you'll do that forever,
Speaker 4: and you're gonna do way more than I can afford,
Speaker 4: and we're going to create something way bigger than money
Speaker 4: can provide. So I want those people that's gonna be
Speaker 4: showing enough to invest Fest, right, collaborate with each other.
Speaker 4: This person got a platform, you got a skill. Figure
Speaker 4: out how you can collaborate and contribute to each other
Speaker 4: right leading up to invest Fest. And I love it
Speaker 4: because it's so beautiful that it's, you know, the only
Speaker 4: place I ever went to that had that many beautiful
Speaker 4: black people shining in such a peaceful, harmonious place for
Speaker 4: Savors Day, right, And so I'm like, yo, y'all understand
Speaker 4: how beautiful that is.
Speaker 1: Just going to an environment.
