19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,080

20
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 1: and start living your own story. People always talk about

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: their purpose or gift. If you have a gift, leave

22
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: with your gifts and don't let your friends, family, or

23

50
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: stay living in a dream? How are you pretty good?

51
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: You know, it's great to have you on the show

52
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: because it's about there's so many people want to be successful,

53
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: but they don't have a plan. And I think that

54
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: the thing about it is that we can say that

55
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: real easy a plan because that sounds simple. It sounds

56
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: but that's not simple because sometimes we can say we

57
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: want something, but it just may not be available for

58
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: you to achieve at that time. So now you used

59
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: to use the word GPS, which we all know is

60
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 1: a popular term for trying to find out where you

61
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: need to go. You put in an address, it tells

62
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: you where you're supposed to go. But sometimes you know that, Jessica,

63
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: you put in an address and it don't take you

64
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: where you supposed to go. Yeah, sometimes, like you said,

65
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: you have ways and it might take you through the

66
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: back route and next thing you know, you're like, where

67
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: am I? Where did it drop me off? And that's

68
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: the funny part because, like you said, I'm a real

69
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: estate entrepreneur and developer and a lot of people come

70
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: to me like I just want to get in all

71
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: the real estate. I just want to get involved. I

72
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: just want to get started. And it's like if we

73
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: miss the basic steps of putting in the address first,

74
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: it's almost like gassing up a Rose Royce and saying,

75
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: go where are you going to? Where are you wandering?

76
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: How can you measure your success and where you are?

77
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: So if I say, I don't know, if you remember

78
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: going to Triple A where you would sit down and

79
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: they literally will map out okay, like you're going to

80
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: New York. The first thing they're going to do is

81
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: understand where you're coming from, where you're starting from and

82
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: so you know now how to guide yourself to where

83
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: you're looking to go. Most times people just like to

84
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: jump in and do and that can oftentimes lend you

85
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: in circles. And you know, if you've ever seen people

86
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: or hurt people, I'm going through a middle a crisis.

87
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: I don't know where I am. I've just been spending

88
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: and spending and turning wheels because you haven't set a destination.

89
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 1: That's the power of setting a goal. That's the power

90
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: of like you said, there's no ways without a destination.

91
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: There's no uber pickup without there declaring where you're going.

92
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that I want people

93
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: to understand as they go to build their dreams, as

94
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: they go to build generational wealth, that you have to

95
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 1: start off at least with a goal to give you

96
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: direction of where to head to so that you can

97
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 1: start making you journey. We know it's interesting because she

98
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: said triple A And she said it's because they used

99
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: to give out these booklets called trip ticks. And I

100
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: used to be a stand up comedian, so I used

101
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: to always go in there, Jessica and I say, I'm

102
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 1: going from Houston to Orlando. They sit down there they

103
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 1: put together. They go and put all these different little

104
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: maps and they put them all together, and they just

105
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: and you just flip a page and tell you the

106
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: gas station to tell you the either is called a

107
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: trip tick, and it was very detailed. That same trip

108
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: trip tick. Now you have and become electronic, and you

109
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: have it, whether it's in Wave or whether it's in

110
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,679
Speaker 1: Google of Horizon. There's so many different forms of versions

111
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: of these trip ticks that have not becoming electronics. But

112
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 1: the great thing about it is that sometimes I always

113
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: tell you got to trust yourself, because back in the

114
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: day before we had GPS, somebody would tell me, basically, Richard,

115
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: come visit me, and they give me directions and they

116
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: give me some landmarks, and then I would get there

117
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: because I got the address. And so I bring that

118
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: up in our conversation Jessica, because so many people they're

119
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: so caught up on being told what to do and

120
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: not trusting understanding the landmarks of opportunities when they present themselves.

121
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: Talk to me, yes, oh yeah, I definitely, I definitely

122
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: agree like you says about trusting your gut and trusting

123
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: your instinct. But one of the most impactful books that

124
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: I've read that help with that is Thinking Grow Rich.

125
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: Thinking Grow Rich is a beautiful book that's written by

126
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: Napoleon Hill that follows a lot of successful individuals and

127
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: understanding what is the key to success? After studying hundreds

128
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: and hundreds of successful people, like what is the key?

129
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: And it starts with tapping into your burning desire? And

130
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: once you connect with burning desire, that's what helps. Like

131
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: you said, to give you that internal GPS that whether

132
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: you have the instructions or not, you have a direction

133
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: or directive of where you're looking to go. Which know

134
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: which direction? Because a lot of times when it boils

135
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: down to it is not that people are lost. People

136
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: are afraid. When you boil down to the deal blockers,

137
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: they're afraid to dream. A lot of times your dream

138
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: is so big it scares you and it's like, well

139
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: where do I start? How do I get started? When

140
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: you understanding you tap into your burning desire, When you

141
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: understand that, that's that internal GPS that whether you have

142
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: the directions or not, you have a fervor to accomplish

143
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: and achieve your dreams and your visions. And how do

144
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 1: I know this? Because so many people that I talk

145
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: to you know that are talking about the dream and

146
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: their vision. You ask them how long they've had it.

147
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: It's not something that they just thought about yesterday and

148
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, this is what I want to do. No.

149
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: A lot of times, this burning desire has been boiling

150
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: for years and they don't know how to start. They

151
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: don't know where to get it out. But they just

152
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: know that the desire lies inside and that's where it's

153
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 1: important to write it out, to understand what that burning

154
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: desire is and take immediate action towards getting towards your goal.

155
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: And the goal is always it's the manager. There's always

156
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: tell people about you have to be selfish when you're

157
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: looking for your goal. And a lot of people use

158
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: the word selfish as a negative, but I think that

159
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: I use the word selfishness as a word of being focused.

160
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: You have to be focused on your dreams and you

161
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: can't dv it. You have to put the time in

162
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: if that's what you want to do. You can't have excuses.

163
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: And that's what I mean when I use the word selfish.

164
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: You have to really understand that it becomes the top

165
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: priority of what you want to do in your life.

166
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: So when people come to you deal maker. I'm gonna

167
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: just put it out there. That's a that's a moniker.

168
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: She's the deal maker. I'm talking to Jessica Myers. You know,

169
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: she's properties all over this country, including the Bahamas. When

170
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: you take on the responsibilities but bponsibility saying that you

171
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: are a deal maker, now that's a that's that's a

172
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 1: that's a whole lot to say and a whole lot

173
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: of responsibility tied to it. Why are you bold enough?

174
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: Why are you bold enough to say that? Because I

175
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: understand that of all the deals that I've done from

176
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: the fifteen thousand dollars you know shack that I bought

177
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: when I first got in a real estate investing to

178
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 1: the nineteen million dollar portfolio, I genuinely do an autopsy

179
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: on my success, like what is the thing that made

180
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: it work? What is the thing that made it not work?

181
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: And what can I do strategically better to get to

182
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: move forward? And one of the common things that I

183
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: found in every single deal was my three part formula,

184
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: and that was having the opportunity itself, the skill set

185
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 1: and know how of what to do with set opportunity,

186
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:40,080
Speaker 1: and the capital to execute on the opportunity. Every single deal.

187
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: I realized had these three things in common. So that's

188
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: when I started to when I started to talk with

189
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: people who don't have a navigation. I don't know where

190
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: to go, I don't know where to start, And I say, Okay, well,

191
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: which one of the three do you have? And that

192
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: will help me determine which of the other two that

193
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: you need? And once you know that's what I mean

194
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: by the internal GPS, because one of the things when

195
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: you set up to go to New York, they don't

196
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: just say Okay, cool, you're going to start in New York. No,

197
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: they where are you coming from? Where is it that

198
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: your start? Where are you in that process to get

199
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: to where you desire to go? And so that's where

200
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: I break down, and where are you in the process

201
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: of the three part formula? Do you have the opportunity

202
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: and you need someone with the skill set and know

203
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: how in the capitol? Do you have the capital and

204
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: you're looking for the opportunity in the skill set? Do

205
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: you have the skill set and you need someone with

206
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: the opportunity in the capital, Like, those are the three

207
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 1: things that help make any deal go. And when I

208
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: coach and speak with entrepreneurs that are looking to get

209
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: started and they don't know where to go. I often

210
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 1: ask them what of the three part formula do they have?

211
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: And that's how I'm able to connect with what other

212
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: elements they need breaking it down into that formula, and

213
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: like you said, with the focus to achieve it and

214
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: obtain it, anything is possible. From the fifteen thousand square

215
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: foot home that I started my real estate career to

216
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: the nineteen million dollars portfolio, it's all been thanks to

217
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: that three part formula. Wow. But it also means that

218
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,959
Speaker 1: it's something that you had to you know, as they say,

219
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: you had to work on, you know, like you said,

220
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, being able to say this is what work

221
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: and then started putting that aside and saying this part

222
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: of I can be consistent with this, because that's the

223
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,079
Speaker 1: word I always tell people. It's two words that I

224
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: live my life about consistency and communication. If you're consistent,

225
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: then then you be able to have any level of communication.

226
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: But if you inconsistent, you will never be able to

227
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: communicate because nobody to trust you. And so when I

228
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: hear you talk Jessica Myers the deal Maker, that means

229
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: that you're saying to me Rashan, I'm consistent and what

230
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying, so when people come to me, I might

231
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 1: when I communicate I have a history of success, because

232
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: that that resume means something. Because it's a lot of

233
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: people jump out there and saying there there they are

234
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: financial advisors, they tell you the real estate experts, but

235
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: don't have the resume. May exactly they don't. They don't

236
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: have the receipts to back it up. It's the theory

237
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 1: and the knowledge without the application. And as we know,

238
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: knowledge is power and it's best known through experience. It's

239
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: it's crazy because I went to school actually for journalism,

240
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: so I didn't go to school for real estate. So

241
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: to experience is what helped me to prune and come

242
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: up with that formula, a three part formula. It's like,

243
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: how do I extract what work out of my process

244
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: because a lot of times when you do something, especially

245
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: as an entrepreneur, you feel like you're you're like Um

246
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: Einstein or Thomas Edison where you're trying to figure out

247
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: this equation and having a blueprint from success is what

248
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: helps you to get there faster. Because Einstein spent hours

249
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: and hours and hours going over UM what I think

250
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: it was the thousandth of light bulb that wound up working,

251
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: but once you gave up at nine hundred and ninety six,

252
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: So that's where you talk about the consistency, where you

253
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: talk about keep going in the path and the journey,

254
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: because that's where it unfolds, even the three part formula.

255
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: Once you put it in your life, you see how

256
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: it works, see how it fits, See how it helps

257
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 1: you to get to execution and success, and that's where

258
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: the true magic comes and staying focused to the goal,

259
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: to the dream, to the vision and watching it come

260
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: to fruition. You have a book called A Real Estate Mastery,

261
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: And before we go to break, tell everybody importance of

262
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: that book and why did you write it? I oh,

263
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: my gosh, so many people economy? How do I get

264
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: started in real estate? And I found myself repeating the

265
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: same thing over and over, and then that's what I realized, Like,

266
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: it's really a lot of people have the same issue

267
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: and the same problem. And so when you find yourself

268
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: repeating it, and that's how you start to develop the

269
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: process and you're like, wait, let me put this in

270
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: a book. Let me put this in a way that

271
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: breaks it down and explains it in ataining way because

272
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: there have been a lot of things that you know,

273
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: I've been through in my career that you know, for one,

274
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: starting out with drugs, a contractor with selling drugs in

275
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: my house when I was selling it, and it's like, oh, well,

276
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: what do you do when you're in those type situations? Well,

277
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: that's why I break down in the book, like how

278
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: to maintain your contractors, how to you know, protect yourself

279
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: against things that can happen that are wrong. And I

280
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 1: really lay out the process of the autopsy in my

281

00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: to the deal Maker aka Jessica Myers and Jessica you

310
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: know real estate, they always you know the rists I

311
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: was born, you know I always heard they were God

312
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: ain't making no no more land. This is it. God

313
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: ain't making it. So so we have black people who

314
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: tend to rent, and white people in general, they buy,

315
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: they buy homes, they buy properties, and so they have

316
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: equity in their lives and so and so we don't

317
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: have equity. We don't have power, which in turn affects

318
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: our credit. So this is a big story that we're

319
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: talking about when we're talking to you about opportunities to

320
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: be able to achieve success for people of color. And

321
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: so when you walk out there, you are a woman

322
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: of color, and then you talk about properties, you know,

323
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: and that's what I always you know, we kind of

324
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: trivialize the whole process. I always tell people, you know,

325
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: we used to buying jewelry, we used to buying clothes,

326
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: We used to buying shoes, and then we get up

327
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: there and buys a car, you know, and then then

328
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: if we're fortunate, we might buy a house. Now we

329
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: used start buying an actual office building, we start buying

330
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: an actual hotel, resorts. Now I can't even put my

331
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: head around the fact that you've got properties in Indianapolis,

332
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: you got properties in you know, Scottsburg, Indiana. You've got

333
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 1: properties in the Arena, Oklahoma, right here in development, in Atlanta, Georgia,

334
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: in the Bahamas. How do you why do you wrap

335
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 1: your head around the fact that you, Jessica Myers is

336
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: a hotel owner. Well, for one, it's a team effort.

337
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: Anything that I do is always a team that is surrounding.

338
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: But once once you understand the power of focus um,

339
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: setting your GPS on the target, that's how you build

340
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: people that will follow. Just as you saw in Forrest Gump,

341
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 1: he just took off running and everybody's like, I don't

342
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: know what we're running too, but we were running. We're

343
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: running behind him. And that's what it's about, leading the charge,

344
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,200
Speaker 1: setting the destination. I set out to do one thousand doors,

345
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: and how do you do so well? Doing it in

346
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: one door at a time can be rather slow, But

347
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: now the commercial aspect of it, getting into getting into

348
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: the hotel space allows you to exponentially get Like when

349
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: we got our home two Sweets by Hilton, we immediately

350
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: added eighty five doors to our portfolio. When we picked

351
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 1: up the second package, the Stay Bridge and the Hampton

352
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: End that's in Indiana, that added two hundred plus doors

353
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: to our portfolio. So it's almost like you start to

354
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,360
Speaker 1: build a team that's knowledgeable, that has that skill set

355
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: and know how that helps you be exponential about achieving

356
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: your vision and your dream. Because even what you spoke

357
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: to just now, a lot of it was liabilities, you know,

358
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: as far as things that are not income producing versus

359
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: looking at assets which are income producing. And that is

360
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 1: the power of leverage ownership, the access to income producing

361
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: assets that even after you've paid for them or paid

362
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: them down, they continue to provide cash flow so that

363
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 1: you can build your portfolio. Because one of the main

364
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: things that you talk to anyone, I don't care what

365
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 1: your dream is. I don't care if it's to be

366
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: a shoemaker, if it's to be a designer, if it's

367
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: to be a knitter, of whatever your vision is. As

368
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur, one of the main things you're going to

369
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: need as capital. And when you go to get capital,

370
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: and a lot of people in our community don't have

371
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: trust funds, they don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars

372
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: lined up, so they're dependent upon how to get capital.

373
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: The most people think if I trade more time for money,

374
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: then I can get enough capital to achieve my dream.

375
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: But what I'm saying is ownership of real estate allows

376
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:02,440
Speaker 1: you to leverage the equity then get capital so that

377
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: you can fund your dream. So even for people who

378
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't want to be involved a

379
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: real estate I don't like it, da da da coal,

380
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: But just have ownership of an asset of some capacity

381
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: so that you can then leverage that ownership into the

382
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: asset to get the capital funding that you need even

383
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 1: for your business. Now, if your business is real estate,

384
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,400
Speaker 1: you can leverage that and get into bigger plays, which

385
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: is what I've done as a hotel owner. But you

386
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,239
Speaker 1: can do that to fund your dream. But it's all

387
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:35,639
Speaker 1: about getting in the game and getting access to ownership equity,

388
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, being able to borrow on your ownership, being

389
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: able to build credit, being able to build credibility, being

390
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: able to have a clear understanding of respect within the

391
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: business community, being a woman of color, just a person

392
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: of color in general. To even walk into the hotel

393
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 1: a hospitality business, how were you able to do that? Well?

394
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: For one strategic partnership, That's what I say about the

395
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: skill set. And then know how understanding who what players

396
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: to put on your team, so you achieve optimal success.

397
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: My girl, you know, she would understanding what I was

398
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: doing in the single family space as far as bringing

399
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: together the capital, the opportunity, in the skill set and

400
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: know how. And she was like, you know, if you

401
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: bring that to the commercial arena, you can go a

402
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: lot further. And she was the one divan actually had

403
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: the experience from working at the front desk at the

404
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: Hyatt all the way up to managing assets and portfolios

405
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: worth billions of dollars for a lot of these overseas investors.

406
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: And she was telling me they do the same thing

407
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 1: pretty much. Hotels own less than ten percent of the

408
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 1: inventory that they actually put their name on, So that

409
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: means the Marriotts of the Hiltons, all of those they

410
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: operate like franchise businesses that allow you to buy into

411
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: the brand standard and have ownership into the building. And

412
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: once I understood that, I was like, that's like real estate,

413
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: just like what I do in the single family space,

414
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: except understanding on the commercial side, it's a similar concept.

415
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: Bringing together the opportunity itself. That's the hotel, that's the land,

416
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: that's the what do I do the skill set and

417
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: then know how, that's how do I make this play,

418
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: how do I bring it all together all of the pieces.

419
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: That's where you have the experts, the broker that helps

420
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: to bring the opportunity, someone to help analyze the opportunity

421
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: to make sure that it's a win win because you

422
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: built your criteria. Those are the skill set and then

423
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: know how that you will need on your team to

424
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: make it happen. And then having the capital to execute.

425
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 1: With the clear vision and understanding the skill set that's

426
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 1: there to support the vision, people will come and write checks.

427
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: And that's where we created a hedge fund to help

428
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: receive the funds of those within our community that believe

429
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: in the vision. And through that hedge fund is where

430
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 1: we're able to purchase these assets. Wow, tell me about

431
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: the five day challenge to get started. The five day challenge,

432
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: like I said, when people want to get started with

433
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: their dreaming and vision, and it was like, look, just

434
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: take it to the goal, just take me to real estate.

435
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: I just want to get started. But one of the

436
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: things that you find is the deal blockers, the deal

437
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: that's that fear that you're going to deal with. Like oh,

438
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: because even for me before the hotel, you know that

439
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 1: that Hilton Hotel that we acquired when we first got

440
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 1: into the commercial industry. That was an eight point three

441
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: million dollars transaction that it was the largest transaction that

442
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: I've been a part of up until that point. So

443
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 1: that was very you talk about fear, it was like,

444
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: I don't think I've done anything over two million dollars

445
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,679
Speaker 1: up to that point. You know, we sold single family

446
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: homes at one point eight million and one point four

447
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: and one point six, but never in the commercial space

448
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: over two million, So that there was a lot of

449
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: fear around can I get started, should I do it?

450
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: What if it doesn't work? And a lot of people

451
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 1: get an analysis paralysis and they're like, oh my gosh,

452
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: they're fierce. Fifles them from progress. And so not only

453
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: do you have fear, you have procrastination. Procrastination comes from

454
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: actually being a frame and you keep putting it off,

455
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: but really you're just scared. You're just it's like, I

456
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: need to get started. So one of the things in

457
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,360
Speaker 1: the challenge is how do we overcome that fear? How

458
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 1: do we get urgency about achieving our goal which boasts

459
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: confidence and what we're looking to achieve. And through that

460
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: five day challenge, it's looking to change the mindset to

461
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: get you to achieving even greater into the deals that

462
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: you want to do. And the deals is being able

463
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: to not say what you can't do, but position is

464
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: do what you are capable of doing. And because that's

465
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 1: what it all comes to. It's like, I remember when

466
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: I bought my very first call fear in buying that

467
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: first car, you know, looking at the notes three years

468
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: or four you whatever your payment plans that you set

469
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: up to buy that car or at least that vehicle,

470
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: It's like, well, what's gonna happen? May if I lose

471
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: my job? You can't even think it. You have to

472
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: throw all those doubts of what you can do. You

473
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: have to push those out the window, out your mind,

474
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: because that will stop you from achieving your dreams. A

475
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: lot of people do understand that that they stop themselves

476
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: a lot of time from pursuing their own personal happiness

477
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: because they get into the mindset of the what if.

478
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: The what if will stop you more than anything any

479
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: who creates the what else you because you can ignore

480
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: the what ifs to come from other people, You can

481
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: turn it down, and really the what ifs are crafted

482
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: by past experiences, so you're you're thinking about. You know,

483
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: if you saw somebody, you know, you saw something that

484
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: happened to someone else, or you're listening to the news,

485
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: it can impact your input and your output of what

486
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: you want for your dream by listening to someone else.

487
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: And that's why you, like you said, you got to

488
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: put the bonders on and stay focused, stay consistent and

489
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: what you're building, because if you're in someone else's lane

490
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: worried about what they got going on, of course it'll

491
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: make you're afraid. But y'all aren up to the same circumstances.

492
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: Like you know, there are things in my life that

493
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm not a mom yet, so me having to plan

494
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 1: for you know, like hey, I can't do this or

495
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: I can't do that. Like I have a different set

496
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 1: of circumstances that someone that may be a mom and

497
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: they have to think about being a parent and what

498
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: goes into their circumstances. So my circumstances in yours. That's

499
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: why I say go by the formula and apply that

500
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: formula in your life, because that's what's going to help

501
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: you understand your plan. Because I can't tell everybody what

502
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: to do based on my circumstances, but I can tell

503
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 1: you who I became that helped me to achieve the

504
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: results that I did, And that's important that you say that. Now,

505
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 1: when is the cash flow game? Not this coming first

506
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: week in April Cashlganna. I'm so excited for one. Robert

507
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: Kiyosaki's book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad has been one of

508
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: the most pivotal books that I've ever read in my life.

509
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: For one, it teaches you about the rat race that

510
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: I don't know. Sometimes you don't even know that you're in.

511
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: And so I was like, you run, run, run, run, run,

512
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 1: and you're just like, wait, why am I not going anywhere?

513
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,479
Speaker 1: Because you're trading time for money and there is no

514
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: way to outrun trading time for money. So you have

515
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: to understand the concept of allowing your money to work

516
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: for you. And he's put in this nice game that

517
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: helps you. It's almost like Monopoly meets life, where you

518
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: all take on a persona of you know, are you

519
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: a police, chief, a doctor. You have bills, but the

520
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: name of the game is to allow your passive income

521
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 1: to exceed your total expenses. So everyone in there has

522
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: total expenses and all of that, and you start out

523
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 1: a zero and you have to go around and around

524
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: and round the rat race and pull for opportunities until

525
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: you find your way to allow your passive income to

526
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 1: exceed your total expenses, and that's how you get out

527
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: of the rat race. Playing this game single handily is

528
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 1: what launched my career into real estate and allowing me

529
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: to own my own time. Because really, I know we

530
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: were talking about goals, they're talking about deal making and

531
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: all of that, but it all boils down to owning

532
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 1: your time. When I was in corporate America and I

533
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,879
Speaker 1: love to travel, I wanted to go on a trip

534
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 1: and I used up on my vacation days and the

535
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 1: HR director was like, Oh, don't worry, you can just

536
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: borrow from next year. And when I realized that I

537
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,639
Speaker 1: had to borrow time from my employer, I realized I

538
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: didn't own my time and that was a problem for me.

539
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,200
Speaker 1: And that's where I had to go back and was like, wait,

540
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 1: we had to fix this. And understanding the game of

541
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: cash flow is allowing your money to work for you

542
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: instead of you working for it. And so we're creating

543
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 1: this experience where you can get immersive learning where and

544
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: not sitting down on a lecture, but you're actually playing

545
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: in a game, and real life application to this game

546
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: is what helped to change my life. And that's what

547
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: I believe This Game Night is targeted at helping others

548
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: change theirs and speaking to the deal maker. That's Jessica Meyers.

549
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: She's a real estate developer and entrepreneur. As an investor

550
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: in hotel owner, she's transacted and properties right there, over

551
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars in real estate assets. As one talks

552
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: about properties, were talking about Georgia, were talking about Indiana,

553
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 1: We're talking about Oklahoma, We're talking about the Bahamas. And

554
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 1: she always says no one wants a boss, but everyone

555
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: needs a coach, and that's what she does. As we

556
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: close out this interview, just talk everybody about what you

557
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: do as a brand builder, what you do as a dealmaker.

615
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: you start to say? You know something, I gotta start

616
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 1: showcasing this. I know it started with the song loss,

617
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: which was dedicated to your wife, But how did that

618
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: come about? You know? I think the musical side of

619
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: me just woke back up. I had it. I always

620
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: had it as a kid, you know, I was. I

621
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: remember taking piano lessons as a child, and uh, when

622
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: I got in seventh grade, I remember over hearing my wife,

623
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: my mom talking to to the leader of a church choir,

624
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: and she was saying his instructor said that he'll be

625
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: ready to take over a church in about two years

626
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 1: if if he keep on learning and playing like he did. Sir.

627
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: I quit after that. I said, I'm not gonna be

628
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: playing for on the church, ya. They take up too

629
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: much of my time. So so you're trying to say,

630
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: you're trying to say the church killed your you know,

631
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,000
Speaker 1: your musical dreams. Don't say that. Don't say that. Don't

632
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: say that. Hey, I already was on the usher board,

633
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, and the junior choir, and I was, I

634
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: was already in church two days a week, and I said, man,

635
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna have me in church three, four or five

636
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: days a week, you know, in practicing with three different choirs.

637
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: You know how it is absolutely absolutely absolutely you know,

638
00:33:26,760 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: it's really interesting because you know, as I always tell

639
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 1: people that that, you know, between the ages of eighteen

640
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: and twenty four, you know, we are kind of like, um,

641
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 1: we're kind of like you know, ambitious, you know, we

642
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: are we we we see so many opportunities and nobody

643
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: can tell us anything. We'll we'll chase those dreams. And

644
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: I always tell people what you do between eighteen and

645
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: twenty four. When you get your forties, fifteenes and sixties,

646
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 1: that's what you start really making your money off of,

647
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: you know, those dreams, those desires, those early passions. You know.

648
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: So when I when I when I read about this

649
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: and I saw I heard the song, and now this

650
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: concert and we're going, I'm talking to doctor Scott Walter,

651
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: Scott Metcalf, he's one of the stars from Bravos TV's

652
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: married to medicine, and we're talking about this singing career

653
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: right now. And we're going to talk about this medical

654
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: career and this entrepreneurship because that's important because part of

655
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 1: your brand, it's part of your development. But when you

656
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: see people break out of these sides that you don't see,

657
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: it's important to know that that sometimes you have to

658
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: follow your dreams. That's why I always tell people, don't

659
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: let nobody tell you what you can't do, you know,

660
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: because people will tell you that. So when you start

661
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 1: pursuing this aspect, the naysayers came out, correct, doctor Metcalf,

662
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, for sure, they says came out, family, friends,

663
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, and definitely social media. You know. The naysayers

664
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: always waiting for you. They don't even have to come out.

665
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: They sitting there waiting to click this like. So that's

666
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: how that's how that goes them. So how do you

667
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 1: overcome that? How do you? Because that's what this show

668
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: is about because of the fact that, you know, really

669
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: social media. A lot of people do understand this about

670
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: social media. You know, a like or dislike, a dislike

671
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: can be a form of bully, and especially when you

672
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: tie negative comment to it, and then it's tied to

673
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,680
Speaker 1: people you don't even know. You know, that's the that's

674
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,799
Speaker 1: the wild part about social media. You know, you can

675
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: get emotional highs from the likes, but then the negative

676
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 1: comments and the dislikes or the ugly emojis can also

677
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 1: be emotionally down for you. How do you in a

678
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: person who is a professional? You're a professional, you you

679
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: with the school you've earned, a professional were respected, respected degree.

680
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:38,240
Speaker 1: How do you deal with the fact that sometimes people

681
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: kind of like disrespect you and actually sometimes don't even

682
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 1: believe you're a real doctor. You know, I guess thick

683
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: skin and intelligence hopefully keeps me away from all the negativity.

684
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:53,879
Speaker 1: You know, because one, you're not gonna scoop down, You're

685
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: not level that other people on the right, like gives

686
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: me a disrespectful comment, it's just easy to block, delete

687
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 1: and one with my life and and you know say

688
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: they never existed basically, So so I think this is

689
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: a level of having thick skin. You know, I'm the

690
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: youngest of tenids and sticks and stones, you know, and

691
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: and you know, I you know, the battles I've been

692
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: through my life. Negative words could never hurt me nothing

693
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: from social media. And my wife already told me when

694
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: we first got on the show, don't you know, she

695
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: knew more about reality TV than me. I knew absolutely

696
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: nothing about it, didn't care about you know, and actually

697
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 1: you know, refused to participate, you know, the first year

698
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 1: that they offer it, and so um so she basically

699
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,760
Speaker 1: told me, like you just gotta not read the comments,

700
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Like I said that that's

701
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: the bully area. That's the area of where they they

702
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 1: they attack you on your on your on your video,

703
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 1: on your video when the comments there can like be

704
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: depressing and demoralizing because all you're doing is living your

705
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: dream and you're sharing it. And that's what you were

706
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: doing when you posted your video about your song, your

707
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: your lyrics and all that it was just sharing your

708
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: gift that God gave you. That's gonna be real about this.

709
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 1: This is a gift. I can't sing, doctor Scott, I

710
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: can't see so so you you ain't ever gonna get

711
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 1: nothing negative from me. But there are people out there

712
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: just like me who can't sing, but making comments though,

713
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,560
Speaker 1: oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah. And when

714
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: you're dealing with that, and you got the opportunity now

715
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,799
Speaker 1: on March twenty fifth, how I'm much gonna tell y'all. Look,

768
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: up at your house. Well, I had, Um, I had

769
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 1: my nephew Javier, and doing piano lessons for my kids.

770
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: Okay here at my home, and um, they be in there,

771
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: and then you know, we did them on Sunday. So

772
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 1: after after they finished the lessons, we go in there

773
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,320
Speaker 1: and and you know, get on the piano and we

774
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: start singing old church songs because my kids have never

775
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: heard the old good Baptist church song absoluted and and

776
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 1: so we get in there, we start singing some mojos,

777
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: acting silly, and then um, another friend sent me a

778
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: beat and it just captivated me. And when Javier was

779
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: leaving out, I had my phone. I had recorded the

780
00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: beat on my phone and I did a little voice

781
00:40:47,239 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: memo and I said, Javier, I like this and can

782
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: you can you like go home and singing hook to me?

783
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 1: Can you just go like lost lost, so lost without you?

784
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:58,640
Speaker 1: And you know? And I said, can you do that

785
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,880
Speaker 1: hook for me? And then he came back to the

786
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: neighbor with an amazing hook and I said, oh, okay,

787
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: but let me, let me, let me get on the

788
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,600

00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: uh and there you go. Next thing, you know, called

790
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: a friend and we were up in the ashwork studios,

791
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: all based on just a beat, and then you had

792
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,439
Speaker 1: the talent to come in and create the hook, because

793
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 1: you gotta have a hook and the song like you

794
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: got you know that hook, you know, great song. I

00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: being a person who the youngest of ten kids, can

838
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: I ask what type of careers are lifestyle? Did your

00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 1: other siblings have? Did they motivate ate you to pursue

840
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: a career an educational career, sir? You know, being the youngest,

841
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: they motivated me. I had a very supportive family. They

842
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: motivated me and supported me and everything that I've done.

843
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: You know, I'm the only one that chose medicine. But

844
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: you know we have I haven't an educator and counselor

845
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: both for pH ds. I have a flight sister that

846
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: was a flight attendant. To have a brother that's an engineer. Uh,

847
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: two brothers that retired from the factory. You know, we

848
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 1: were in Flint, Michigan. Student that was that was you know,

849
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 1: they were in the factories. McDonald dared one sister that

850
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: retired from the factory. One sister that got an advanced

851
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: degree as well and went into business and worked for GM. So,

852
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 1: you know, pretty much, my mother's stressed the education. She's

853
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, and she's she definitely stressed excellent in us.

854
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: And she was in that era where you know, she

855
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 1: moved that moved up here from the South. You know,

856
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 1: she was a valedictorian of her class and so she

857
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:54,839
Speaker 1: wasn't on me, and so she made sure her kids

858
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: wasn't no dummies. And and she her she she said,

859
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 1: because of having kids that that kind of killed her

860
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 1: dreams and of going to law school. And so she

861
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: never she never finished her undergraduate degree herself. But you know,

862
00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:12,439
Speaker 1: was super successful as a mom and just just overall great,

863
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:16,279
Speaker 1: beautiful woman. Well you know that like my Momla, I

864
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: come a big family too, you know, six sisters and

865
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: two brothers. So I I came and my mom was

866
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: just like your mom. You know, she graded away from

867
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: my high school very smart. But high school, you know,

868
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 1: high school was the highest level of educations that she achieved.

869
00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: But you know, I myself, I just knew I just

870
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,839
Speaker 1: wanted to be pursue a life that was different from

871
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: where I was living because I lived in the neighborhood

872
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, well, you know, my parents was in the

873
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 1: hood Fifth Ward in Houston, Texas, and then we moved

874
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: to the northeast side of Houston, Texas. Basically, I just

875
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 1: moved from black people who were struggling to black people

876
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: who wasn't struggling as much. Okay, So, and I knew

877
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: I didn't like either lifestyle, and so I was motivated

878
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: to see what was out there because basically my whole

879
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,719
Speaker 1: life doctor metcap All, I saw away black people my

880
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: whole life, and so I didn't even know from a

881
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: standpoint of what that white world looked like until I

882
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: went to college. And that opened my eyes. When you

883
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: start making that transition, tell us your background and then

884
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: also transitioning from that high school world into college. Okay, Well, mom,

885
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: after my father passed when I was five, my mother, um,

886
00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: it was six kids left at home, and so my

887
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: mother actually decided to leave the city of Flint and

888
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: we moved. We moved to a place where her and

889
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: my dad used to vacation, which used to be called

890
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 1: the even of the North if you ever heard of Idawa, Michigan.

891
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: So we moved and grew up in Ottawa, Idawall, Michigan, Baldwin, Michigan.

892
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 1: And so that was a pretty diverse community. But it

893
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:53,160
Speaker 1: was probably second to Ben Harvard, the forest community in

894
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: miss h and Uh. But you know, but nonetheless, like

895
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,760
Speaker 1: I said, great mom, she always worked, she always provided,

896
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: which was awesome. And so I was. I had a

897
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 1: really diverse education and diverse friend group growing up. And

898
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: so when I went to Michigan State, there was still

899
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: a culture shock of coming into a classroom of three

900
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: hundred people but none of us. But but there was

901
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: there was you know, the diversity was was not anything

902
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: that I had to get you know, adjusted to, you know,

903
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: if I right. So so basically you're saying, like, okay, Rashan,

904
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,560
Speaker 1: I was, I had that diverse education. If I stayed

905
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: in Flint had been a different story. But when she

906
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 1: moved me and allowed me to adjust, and I would

907
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: understand another side of life and how to communicate with

908
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: another side of life. So winter Michigan State, other than

909
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:49,520
Speaker 1: the massive campus of over thirty five thousand students. You

910
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 1: know that's my adjustment, correct, right? Correct? You know and

911
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: coming and you know, like I grew up in the

912
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: like the small town. It was not even the McDonald's there,

913
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 1: not even the traffic light. Good. Yeah, big adjustment, big

914
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 1: adjustment in that man. So how white medicine? Though? But

915
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: why medicine? You know, I was, I was like to

916
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 1: share personal stories where I talk to people because I

917
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 1: know I can't cut on nobody. I know, I can't

918
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 1: tell nobody that the sick. I know that. But why medicine? Certain,

919
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: I think the power of positive reinforcement. My mother has

920
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:25,919
Speaker 1: been calling me. My mother and siblings have been calling

921
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: me doctor since I was probably since I was walking. Wow,

922
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:31,720
Speaker 1: I've been saying I was going to be a doctor

923
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: myself since I was five years old. And I remember

924
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: in seventh grade I said, I really, I really made

925
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 1: the decision, said I'm really going to be a doctor,

926
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, and I'm really gonna try to get all eggs.

927
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: I made that decision myself in seventh grade. And like

928
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: I said, my mother, and I'm sure my mother, you know,

929
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 1: she she said, I know what you're capable of. You know,

930
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: you really don't need to bring me nothing home more

931
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: than they. You don't need to bring nothing less home,

932
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 1: you know. She she just basically said that to me.

933
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: And uh, I think how passing with my father dying

934
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 1: of a preventable illness was was comply one of the

935
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 1: deciding factors in my mind. He died of a metastatic

936
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 1: colon cancer to the brain and just like just like

937
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 1: a lot of black men, you know, he knew he

938
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:15,400
Speaker 1: was sick. He waited till after Christmas to go in,

939
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, and that was our last Christmas with them,

940
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 1: so U yeah, and that was you know, five years old,

941
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: almost six when he passed away, you know. So all

942
00:49:25,080 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: that had all that, I'm sure just in that upbringing,

943
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: you know, and then I had believe it not I

944
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: even had a black doctor growing up in that in

945
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: that small town, and he was a World War two

946
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:40,280
Speaker 1: veteran with my father, and my father was a medic

947
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 1: in World War two. Wow, So there was there was

948
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: there was kind of lionage there. Let me let me

949
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 1: ask you this because you know, you said that about

950
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: black men, and we hit that a lot in the

951
00:49:50,600 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: black community. You know, before we hear two things in

952
00:49:53,239 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: the black community. You know, not enough quality healthcare. But

953
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,439
Speaker 1: then we hear the story about black men who are

954
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: don't want to acknowledge they need to go to doctors

955
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: or don't want to go to doctors. What what's creates

956
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: that doctor MAdCAM in our male community. Well, I think

957
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: one lack lack of knowledge, you know, of of of medicine.

958
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 1: That's that's that's definitely one, you know, and we know

959
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: the main thing would be our our health care disparities

960
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 1: and a lot of those are created by you know,

961
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: lack of access, you know, lack of having representation of

962
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: having an African American physician. Um, you know, um, we

963
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: as African Americans make up what almost what twelve percent

964
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: of the population, but yet less than four percent of

965
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: us are doctors. So that's that's definitely showing that we

966
00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,800
Speaker 1: don't have the representation as needed. And you know, ultimately

967
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: with black man we know, uh, it stems from the

968
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 1: mistrust of the medical system in general, and we can't

969
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,280
Speaker 1: hire the fact that there is and there should be mistrust,

970
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, but a lot along with that mistrust is

971
00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,959
Speaker 1: a lot of misinformation. So you know, I tell people,

972
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 1: like we know about the Tuskegee experiment, We know, the

973
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: trocities that they committed against our black men and black

974
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,920
Speaker 1: women and black babies. Because if black men are affected,

975
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:10,839
Speaker 1: the wives are affected. So it's not like the men

976
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 1: would just walk around syphilist. You know, the women were

977
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,359
Speaker 1: catching it too. The babies were catching it and having

978
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: complications of you know, pregnancy and and and giving birth

979
00:51:18,719 --> 00:51:21,799
Speaker 1: to the baby with cyphilis. So all those health care

980
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,320
Speaker 1: disparities kind of kind of mount up, and that adds

981
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 1: up the apprehension of a black man, you know, seeking

982
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, to get medical attention. Cool that mistrust. Can

983
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 1: you know, if you don't trust somebody, you're not gonna

984
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 1: you're not gonna show up. That's absolutely true, because you know,

985
00:51:38,719 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: we walk in there afraid. Anyway. I know, I've never

986
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 1: walked into doctor's office confident because I don't know because

987
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: I I don't know what they might find out about me.

988
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: I don't know for a high blood pressure, I don't know,

989
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 1: cholesterol level, I don't know. You know, I've been I

990
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: you know, I've had a normal THORAXX in my life,

991
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: which means that my long collapse while I was just

992
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 1: watch and TV. I've I've been diagnosed with cancer, thyrod cancer,

993
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: so you know, once you're diagnosed, as they might say

994
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: that you in remission, but it means that it can't

995
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 1: come back. I've been I've had my gallbladder removed, and

996
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 1: so these are things you know, that have happened to

997
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: me just in my daily life, my daily my daily process.

998
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 1: And you know, the cancer was discovered basically through going

999
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,360
Speaker 1: in there doing exams. If I didn't have these exams,

1000
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 1: Lord knows, I may not be talking to you right

1001
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 1: now because I didn't. Nobody wouldn't have had that preventive

1002
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:34,920
Speaker 1: medicine treatment, because I wanted to talk about that as

1003
00:52:34,960 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 1: we close out your interview about what as black people,

1004
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:43,840
Speaker 1: black men, black families can do in the value of

1005
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: preventative medicine. Be advocates for one another. You know, everyone

1006
00:52:49,800 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: in the family should be advocates for one another, because

1007
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,280
Speaker 1: like to say, for instance, my father died colon cancer,

1008
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 1: so I made sure that all my brothers had their

1009
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: colon cancer screening, not fifty you know, nine to forty five,

1010
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: but I made sure, I say, we had a higher risk.

1011
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: You know, our dad died of it, uncle died of it.

1012
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 1: So we getting our we all getting our colon ospies.

1013
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:10,759
Speaker 1: By the age of forty. All my brother's done it.

1014
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,560
Speaker 1: Two of us had two of us had polyps. You

1015
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 1: know that. You know, they say a polyp. If it's

1016
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: one of the specific polyps, that's the type of polop

1017
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: that can take about eight years to turn into cancer.

1018
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,439
Speaker 1: So you know, So having those colon ospies at age forty,

1019
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 1: getting those polops removed, having to follow up colon ospy

1020
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 1: five years later, being clear, that's what you do. You know,

1021
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:33,400
Speaker 1: that's what you do. You prevent that that that polyp

1022
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: from from growing over a period of eight you know,

1023
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,719
Speaker 1: up to eight years and turning into cancer. So advocates

1024
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: for one another, educating one another, and one we just

1025
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: you know, you you you gotta find a doctor that

1026
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: you trust. Uh and you paying all this money for

1027
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 1: your healthcare, all you guys out there with those jobs

1028
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 1: and benefits, everyone for you. So I have an age

1029
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: appropriate physical exam for my males that are under under

1030
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: twelve from twelve twelve to eighteen, eighteen, twenty twenty five

1031
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: to thirty five. You know, so I know what needs

1032
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 1: to be done, what type of tests need to be done.

1033
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: When when we need to start screening for this, When

1034
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: we screen for test kick cancer. When we screen for

1035
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 1: prostate cancer, you know, and more importantly now, you know,

1036
00:54:14,520 --> 00:54:17,280
Speaker 1: if we start screening for depression, you know, we gotta

1037
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 1: we gotta recognize that this is Hughmongus in our black community,

1038
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,879
Speaker 1: and we got to start screening these kids between age

1039
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,359
Speaker 1: eleven and thirteen for depression. Absolutely. I'm talking to doctor
