Okay, walk us through all those steps, 61 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: because that's a journey that allows us to talk about 62 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: what you're doing today with invest with Terry, it was 63 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: it was a journey, and you know what I would say, 64 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: I think it was actually a mindset journey because I 65 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: learned about investing in high school and I learned about 66 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: it like the year that Google I p o. So 67 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: if you can just imagine me learning about stocks and 68 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: then Google ipo it eighty three dollars and what it 69 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: would have done for me if I had invested back then. 70 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: But nobody in my family knew anything about stock, so 71 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: we yeah, I knew it was a good thing, but 72 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: I didn't know how to do it. And so going 73 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: into college, I went to M I T. And studied 74 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: on Wall Street because I'm still interested in what is 75 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: the called stock thing? So you just blew past in 76 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,359 Speaker 1: my tea like that, you know, or junior college I 77 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: went to in my tea. Okay, now that's what you're 78 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: not gonna do with my show, Terry, it's come on 79 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: my show and act like I can't hear success. I 80 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: can't hear significant things when they're said to me. You 81 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: keep talking, but I'm gonna interrupt you if you say 82 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: anything else like that and not slow down. You know 83 00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: you're supposed to. Went and I went to M I T. 84 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: Thank you. Yes I'm kind of smart, but yes. So 85 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: I went to M I T. And they kind of 86 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: funneled us into two paths. You neither go to Wall 87 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: Street or you do consulting, because you know, they think, okay, 88 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: use that mind to problem solved. And so I went 89 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: to Wall Street and again I was expelled to this 90 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: whole world of investing. But this is the mindset part 91 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 1: in my mind because where I had grown up, like 92 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: I didn't grow up with money. I had always associated 93 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: people on Wall Street with like, you know, arrogantness. Um, 94 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: they're just not good this, this is not a good industry. 95 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: So even though I had this great opportunity, I was like, no, 96 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that. I'm gonna go into consulting. 97 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 1: And then one of my clients with education. So I 98 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: went into this whole education route because I felt like, well, 99 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: that's where the heroes are. That what I had seen. 100 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: The heroes are in education, the heroes are in ministry. 101 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: And so I think a lot of our communities, like 102 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: we have that mindset. There's like this a version to 103 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 1: big money, but money or not realizing that a lot 104 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: of people are living successful lives doing this, you know, 105 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: because we we we see the we see, you know, 106 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: with a warm buff for the Bill Gates and all 107 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: these people out there. They are our new celebrities now 108 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: where previously with just athletes and just entertainers, but now 109 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: the tech world has created this whole world of just 110 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: celebrities in the stock world. And so to me, it 111 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: always felt like it was like they were there, but 112 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: it seems like they were ghosts. They were unattainable because 113 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 1: of the knowledge, you feel me because of the fact 114 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: that that's how that's how we deny ourselves on a 115 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: lot of opportunities because we feel I can't do that, 116 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: that's not me. I can't live in that neighborhood, or 117 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: I never live in that neighborhood, or I'll never be 118 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: associated with those type of people. And that's what you 119 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 1: were saying earlier, were talking about the mindset. Yes, yes, 120 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: and I don't and we do that so much even 121 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: when I think, so I have a school now, um, 122 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: and I know we're fast forwarding, jumping, but jump back. 123 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: You jump past the quick to your job. You jumped 124 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: past the side hustle, you jump you jumped past to 125 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: travel the world. I don't know. Are you trying to 126 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: take all my interview? You know? Uh? I need I 127 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 1: need to be here. Let's go back to the side. Okay, 128 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: so we'll go to Yes, Okay, we have so much 129 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: I want to tell you. Oh but so Yes. What 130 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: happened was I had this knowledge from Wall Street, but 131 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: I went into education around for about ten years. But 132 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: because I still knew how to invest, I started using 133 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 1: it as a side hustle to supplement my income. And 134 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: the big thing for me was I didn't need a 135 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: lot because as an educator, my salary wasn't that big. 136 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: So for me to even replace my whole salary was 137 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: just three hundred dollars a day. So yeah, So when 138 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: I decided that I'm actually gonna I'm not happy here, like, 139 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: I got really stressed out. I wasn't having a good 140 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: time to my job, and I needed an extra strategy. 141 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: When I decided that you know what, I need to leave. 142 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: It was really just okay, what is my freedom number? Well, 143 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: my freedom numbers just three hundred dollars a day. If 144 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,680 Speaker 1: I could just make three hundred dollars a day, I'll 145 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 1: be good. And I started learning how to do that 146 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: with stocks and I worked myself up. At first, it 147 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: was okay, let me just be positive. Then it was okay, 148 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: let me make a hundred dollars a day, two hundred 149 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: and then when I started hitting that three hundred dollars, 150 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I'm out of here. You started 151 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: walking a little different, Like I went, y'all want to 152 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: say something crazy to me today? Because I can leave? Hey, Terry, Terry, 153 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: how's that? How's that? How's that? Walking a little different? 154 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: Look if the people noticed you were walking different in 155 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: the break room with different sets of food and everything 156 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: we did, and you thought, what's crazy is? I think 157 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: my bosses could tell that I was walking different. I 158 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: even had a meeting one time and it was like 159 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: four of my bosses. I don't know why I had 160 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: so many bosses in education, but it was. It was crazy. 161 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 1: And they even asked me in a meeting, like are 162 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: you thinking about leaving and like the whole like their 163 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: holds a mean towards me chained. All of a sudden, 164 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: they started trying to like hold me down. Crazy how 165 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: people will not uplift you when they see you can 166 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: do better, you know, but they'll tell you but they're 167 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: cool with you as long as they feel that you 168 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: they're equal. But when they see you in a position 169 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: to do better, then they want to hold you back 170 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: or contradict you, a question your motives as to why 171 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: you're still at this job, and going to start damping 172 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: your start, you know, start damaging your reputation. It's really 173 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 1: sad what people will do. I remember when I quit IBM, 174 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: I thought I was the greatest employee ever at IBM. 175 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 1: I really did. I thought. I thought when I left, 176 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: IBM was shut down. I thought I was that great. 177 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: When I told my supervisor that I was resigning to 178 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: go tell do stand up comedy, he said, wait right here. 179 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: He when he got security, he when he got scary, 180 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: walked me out. Don't go. Don't go near your desk. 181 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: Don't go near your desk. We'll we'll send you your stuff. 182 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: Because that's how life is. That's why I tell people, 183 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: follow your dreams follow you because what you may think 184 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: there is and there's nothing negative. All companies do that. 185 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: I do that to my company. You gotta protect your secrets. 186 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 1: You You just can't have an employee who doesn't have 187 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 1: respect for what you're doing. Just walk around the office 188 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 1: and just start picking up stuff, because they might pick 189 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,079 Speaker 1: up the wrong thing. It might take a take something 190 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 1: with you that you probably need to have to bring 191 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 1: them back in and ask for it. So so I 192 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: know exactly what you were talking about. And when I 193 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: tell that story, it's just a story I gotta tell 194 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: to everybody to know that. You know your value can 195 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: be perceived based on what they need from you. That's anybody, yea. 196 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 1: And so you start doing better now these four people 197 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: standing that you're talking about m M yep. And I 198 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: wanted to actually go take an invest in class like 199 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: it during while I was assistant principle. I'm still doing 200 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 1: my job like They couldn't even deny that yet. You're 201 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: meeting all the objectives on your resume. But when I 202 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 1: asked them, can I just take off a few days 203 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: to go take this investing class? Do you know? One 204 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 1: of the bosses came to my office and he said, look, Terry, 205 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: I just need to let you know if you go 206 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: and take that class, they will fire you. And I 207 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: was like, what because you would think like being able 208 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 1: to advance that problem solving, that's being able to make 209 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 1: quick decisions like these are skill set that I could 210 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: be helping my company, but it's building the skill sets. 211 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: But no, they were threatened by it, right, which was 212 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: really really sad, right because of the fact that you 213 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: were engaging in an opportunity that they couldn't participate in. 214 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: And what were saying is, believe me, they're good people 215 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: that she's talking about, but they're just caught up in 216 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: their their dreams. You can't let their dreams become your dreams. 217 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: And that's what was happening in your life. You are 218 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: you had a mindset that you know you couldn't do 219 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: the Wall Street theme, so you settled back. But you 220 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: always above them. You are always above them, Terry. And 221 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: a lot of people don't understand that that you know, 222 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: you can walk a lifestyle, but it cannot be your 223 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: lifestyle if you're not committed. And after that, but that's 224 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: what started to happen. You know you're going you know 225 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: somebody could do better. And then when people start seeing 226 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: you do better, they start in your commitment. Yes, yes, 227 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: I'm about to say. Then that's when we had to 228 00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 1: exit right there. That's when we started traveling the world, 229 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,679 Speaker 1: beginning full time investment, and Terry becomes an education and 230 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: coaching on how to invest in the stock markets. I'm 231 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: fast forward you now. I'm moving your forward now because 232 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: we got the reality of what I needed. The people 233 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,760 Speaker 1: on my shoulder here is that you gotta change your mindset. 234 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: You gotta believe in yourself. And when you start believing yourself, 235 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: people will question you or challenge your motivation for change 236 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: personal change. You gotta look past that those challenges and 237 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: stick with your plan. And then she went, you know something, 238 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: I'm making three hundred dollars a day. That's what I 239 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: make here walking around with these four people staring at 240 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: me every day. I'm just gonna take my little, my 241 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: little three hundred plus because she she's a little bit 242 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 1: above the three hundred days, because she hugging as long 243 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: as she could. Just what I did. I told jokes 244 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: as long as I could I be. Then I relize, 245 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: you know something, I can't do this no more. I 246 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: gotta go little my dreams. So where did you go 247 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: first when you start traveling the world, Terry, So I'll 248 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 1: quit and then onto South Korea. Then I went to Timeline, 249 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: then Vietnam, and I stayed in all these places like 250 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: a month at a time, just living my best fight. 251 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, this is wonderful. So so Terry, tell 252 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: us what you're involved in right now. So now I have, 253 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: of course that teaches people how to trade, and our 254 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: goal is to help when thousand people to make a 255 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: thousand dollars in a day. So we call it the 256 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: million dollars a Day campaign because we're just thinking, if 257 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 1: we teach a thousand people to make a thousand dollars 258 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: in a day, that's a million dollars a day, and 259 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: then that's in our communities. Like what kind of impact 260 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: could we have if we're generating a million dollars a day? 261 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: Like we could change so many things, from the school 262 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: system to healthcare to mental health, Like so many things 263 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: could be impacted by us learning how to generate our 264 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: own income. So that's what we're doing right now in 265 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: our trade and travel programs. Okay, when you say the 266 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: word US, I'm just talking to you. Who is us? 267 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: Well me, but I think of all the people that like, 268 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: all of my students as my family. So I'm thinking 269 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: us like we have or we have over eleven hundred 270 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: students down and they're they're everywhere. They're doctor's, lawyer's principle. 271 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: And so I'm teaching them how to make a thousand 272 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 1: dollars in a day, and they're doing it like they 273 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: are killing the game. Like even right now with the 274 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: market following, they're making money. Like literally they're sending me 275 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: texting us to do even today. That's like Harry, in 276 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: the first thirty minutes of the market, I made my 277 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 1: two thousand, I'm done for the week. I'm like, they're 278 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: they are killing the game. So that's what that's what 279 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: I'm working on right now, just changing the narrative by 280 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: helping us generat income for ourselves. Okay, how do I 281 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: reshow my dollars? Because I'm gonna tell you something, I 282 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: could never have enough money, you know what I'm saying. 283 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: I need I'll just Shan mcdong, oh, somebody like with y'all, Oh, 284 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: somebody not like with Shan mcconna get involved with your program, 285 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 1: because it tells me, here, you have four main topics, right, yes, 286 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: so be so. In my program is in trade and travel. 287 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: There's four big areas. The first one is you gotta 288 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 1: learn how to pick good companies, and like that's crucial. 289 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: What I see a lot of people doing is they say, well, 290 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of money, so I'm gonna 291 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: go pick up penny stock. That is the worst thing 292 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: you can ever do. If you're really wanting to make 293 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: good income, you have to pick value companies that are healthy, 294 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: that you know will be around for a while. So 295 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 1: like we really really want to go with healthy companies. 296 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 1: Then we go into risk management, like one of one. 297 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 1: I've been trading for a long time now, but in 298 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: my first six years I would make a little bit 299 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: and then lose a lot and then make a little bit. 300 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 1: So you can't you can't be successful like that. You 301 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: have to have some type of racing management planning to 302 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: protect yourself from moving. And there's so many ways to 303 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: do that. We just don't know. No one's taught us. 304 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: Like there's order types, stop block orders, and there's ways 305 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: to calculate your quantity side. Like sometimes we get so 306 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: we think that our our trade is gonna make us 307 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: rich tomorrow, so we just buy all the shares and 308 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: then it's like, wait, it didn't work out. Now I'm broke. 309 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: That's all. That's part of risk management. So we teach 310 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: risk management. And then the next thing I teach is 311 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: in charting. So in order to figure out the best 312 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: time to get in or out of a stock, you 313 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 1: have to learn how to read a chart. That's another 314 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: thing that I see. Novice investors like skipping, so they'll 315 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: find a company they like and then they'll get in 316 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: at any price. But then they realize that, oh man, 317 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 1: I just got in at the highs and now it's 318 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: going against me and I'm losing money. Knowing what price 319 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: to get into a stock is determined by reading charts. 320 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 1: So I teach people how to read a stock chart, 321 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: and then we go into a trading plan, because in 322 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: order to have consistency, you need a consistent plan. Like 323 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: every time I take a trade, at these seven steps, 324 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: and that's what I teach. I teach my seven steps strategy. 325 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: If you do those seven steps every time, you can 326 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 1: get consistency. Like that's how I made it three hundred 327 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 1: dollars a day. That's how I've now grown to Oh well, 328 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 1: I've grown over a hundred thousand dollars in a day, 329 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 1: but I grew to a thousand dollars in a day 330 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: and then continue. Now, one thing I hear because say 331 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: Rushan McDonald wants to jump in, I can't jump in 332 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: with a part time mentality. This has to be a commitment. 333 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: Correct it does. Now let me let me make one correction. 334 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: Though some people feel like I'm just gonna be staring 335 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: in front of a screen and it takes all day. 336 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,399 Speaker 1: It does not take all day, like you can trade 337 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 1: within two to four hours a day, Like you don't 338 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: need all day to make your money. Um. And and 339 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 1: what makes that less time is a chart. When you 340 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: learn how to read the charts, it takes less time. 341 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: But yes, it should be something that you're committed to. 342 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: You don't want to have like one ft in and 343 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,399 Speaker 1: one foot out. If you really want to make you 344 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: gotta be able. Yeah saying is that? Is that? Okay? 345 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: The worst part about a person like me or a 346 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,040 Speaker 1: person who here's your story. Oh, I want to make 347 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: a thousand dollars a day. Okay, Okay, Now there's homework, 348 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: Like you said, there are steps. You gotta learn how 349 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: to read your charts so you can't come back screaming 350 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: the terror going. It didn't work for me. Okay, what 351 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: kind of work did you put in though? Did you 352 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: think this was just gonna be Because a lot of 353 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: people want to have that lottery mentality. They want to 354 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: put their pick their numbers and win. And I always 355 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: tell people all the time, people who were in the lottery, 356 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 1: they put in a lottery a lot they were just 357 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: walking there on the data numbers high and everybody's standing 358 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: in the line to get it. These people play all 359 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: the time. And so it's the same thing with stock. 360 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 1: You have to be committed all the time. Now, how 361 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: much time you give it is up to you, but 362 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: you still have to be consistent with it. And that's 363 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: the story you're telling on my show today. Correct. Yes, 364 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,120 Speaker 1: it's like learning a new language. You don't just all 365 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 1: of a sudden the confluent like, no, you gotta learn 366 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 1: the alphabet, you have the arn sentences, practice. It takes 367 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,359 Speaker 1: time and practice, and then you become fluent. It's just 368 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 1: the same way learning to trade. I compare it to 369 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: like learning a new language. And then once you know 370 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: the language, you don't have to use it all the time. 371 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: You can pick and choose when you decide to trade, 372 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: but at least you know the skill set and you 373 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: can have that forever, which is nice, Which is really funny. 374 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: I really love the fact that when I'm talking to you, 375 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 1: there's an energy in your voice, which means they're you're 376 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: still enthusied about providing this information to people and making 377 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: them successful. That's really that's It's that the education is 378 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: that the education part of you just still hanging in there. 379 00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:41,159 Speaker 1: You know, you're right, Like sometimes being an entrepreneur in 380 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 1: general can be kind of training. Like we all know, 381 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: like it takes a lot to a lot of effort, 382 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: a lot of energy to be able to just provide 383 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: any service. But I just get excited by my students, 384 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: like waking up today knowing that they can provide for 385 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: their families even during layoffs and and coronavirus time because 386 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,600 Speaker 1: they have this feel set or they're not worried and 387 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: like they don't feel helpless when the market falls because 388 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 1: they don't how to control their bundy. Like knowing that 389 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 1: that kind of life changing like transformations are happening gets 390 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: me excited. I still I still love what I do. Well. 391 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: I can tell in your voice, and that's important that 392 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: I make that translation obvious to everybody who's listeners, that 393 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,479 Speaker 1: you really want to be in people who who will 394 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: give you information and they have passion tied to it, 395 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: and they have love tied to it, and they have enthusiasm. 396 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: Because there's a lot of people out that they give 397 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: you information, but it's just a job to them, it's 398 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 1: just a job. They just they want you to invest 399 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: in their idea and then they want to get that 400 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,440 Speaker 1: little money that you used to invest in their idea, 401 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: and that's it. And I hear a certain, a certain 402 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 1: youthfulness in being able to say, you know something, you 403 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: can be me and that and it's not impossible. See, 404 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,719 Speaker 1: I know I can't be warm Buffett. I know I 405 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: can't do that person. He's so far ahead of the 406 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: food change is ridiculous. But I can be Terry em 407 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,719 Speaker 1: If you can, you can. And I want you to 408 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 1: like that's the key, Like I want other people to 409 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 1: be like me. I want you to be able to 410 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: have freedom even if you don't want to quit your job, 411 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,560 Speaker 1: but at least you have the money on the side 412 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 1: that you know that no one else thinks control. You know, 413 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 1: if you don't want to travel that's cool, but you 414 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: know you could if you wanted to, Like you can 415 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 1: pay off your student loans. I've paid off my student loans, 416 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 1: I've paid off my mortgage, like all these things like 417 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: that kind of reality and freedom you can get from 418 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 1: trading stocks, and I think that's the key. I want 419 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: to just change the narrative. So many people think it's 420 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: just like a long term wait till I retired, But no, 421 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 1: you could use the money right now to do whatever 422 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: you want to do. Okay, before we I know the 423 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 1: interview is gonna come to the end, I want you 424 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 1: to go over this webinar series called Power one Million, 425 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: and you're currently hosting a thousand dollars in the Day 426 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: campaign and those four main parts again and also how 427 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: they can be a part of it.

But the campaign, the million dollars 435 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,399 Speaker 1: a day. Campaign is we're teaching a thousand people to 436 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: make a thousand dollars in a day. And there's three 437 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: ways you can get involved. Like one, join my course 438 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: and learn for yourself so that you're one of the thousands. 439 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: So learn how to make your own money. And and 440 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,359 Speaker 1: the key is how much money you make will be 441 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: determined to how much you're investing. So I don't want 442 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: everyone to think, like, well, I'm gonna start with five 443 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 1: hundred dollars and then just make um a thousand, because 444 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 1: like my goal actually is for you to make one 445 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: percent of your cash amount a day. So even if 446 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: that you're investing with two thousand dollars and you make 447 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: your twention dollars a day, that's still good money. That's 448 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 1: a hundred extra dollars that we four hundred dollars a month. 449 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: That's twenty percent in return, which is better than the market. Right, 450 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: So we're taking we're doing small, small chunk, small attainable goals. 451 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 1: So like that's our goals. The first you can join 452 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: the course, you can learn how to make your money 453 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,919 Speaker 1: work for you yourself. The second thing you could do 454 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: to be part of a million dollars a day is 455 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: tell someone else. So if maybe you don't want to invest, 456 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: but you know your son does, or your deshew or 457 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: someone that like women, I'm of course I'm a woman, 458 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: so I'm always gonna be advocating your your wife, your sister, 459 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 1: your daughter, your aunt, um like, make sure they like 460 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: you can also buy the course for them so they 461 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: can learn how to trade. And then the last thing 462 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 1: is sponsor a student. So one of the things that 463 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: I absolutely love about my course is that any age 464 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 1: group can take it. They'd either like I have people 465 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,919 Speaker 1: in retirement getting ready to retire, they're learning to trade 466 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 1: so that they can retire. People in their like thirties 467 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: and forties, they're like me with the side of who 468 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: just want to do so I'm different they have up 469 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: some savings in their account. Or you could go to 470 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,440 Speaker 1: the high school and college. Remember I was in high 471 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 1: school when I first learned, and I just I wish 472 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: that someone knew how to do it back then, to 473 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: sponsor someone. But those are some ways to get involved 474 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: with a million dollar a thing. Well, you know the 475 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,879 Speaker 1: thing about it is that I, you know, two thousand 476 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,879 Speaker 1: I invested into stock. I you know, I was and 477 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: I went with the theory of go for your shop. 478 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: And I went to home. I shopped at home Depot, 479 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: I shopped at I bought Microsoft, I bought Intail. You know, 480 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: I bought um, you know, a O L. At the time, 481 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,760 Speaker 1: we all know that wasn't a good bye. But but 482 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 1: the good pretty good. You know, I was rocking now, 483 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: I was rocking now, you know. But but but that 484 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: was that was a good theory because the fact that 485 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: a lot of times if you if you're supporting it, 486 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: then that's a good idea that you maybe that might 487 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,439 Speaker 1: be where you should put your money. So so when 488 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: you look at your course, how does your course do 489 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: for from other investing courses Terry. So there's yeah, there's 490 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: a couple of things. One, so I agree with you 491 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: that it's good to invest in companies that are that 492 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: you're familiar with. But a lot of times that's called 493 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: trend trading. A trend trader will just get into a 494 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,320 Speaker 1: stock that they're familiar with and then like kind of 495 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 1: let it go like a buying hole. But I have 496 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,880 Speaker 1: found though, if there's some companies that we are part 497 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: of that are not good companies to investing. So for example, 498 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: like Forward, I had a forward car forever, but the 499 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: stock was not a good stock to invest in. So 500 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: the difference is like learning how to do that technical 501 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: analysis piece, learning how to actually time your trades correctly, 502 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: learning that risk management piece. Those are key things that 503 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 1: are different in my course than other courses. Wow and 504 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,959 Speaker 1: then yeah now now, so so that's the I'm doing 505 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: something you hit me dead on, okay, because of the 506 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,640 Speaker 1: fact that I didn't do any education. I'm just going 507 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 1: out there hearing rumors theories. You know, invest on where 508 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: you eat, invest on where your shop, invest on where 509 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: you work. Those are simple theories that have no relevancy 510 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: to the bigger picture. Like you said, I was a 511 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: trend investor and I hadn't. I wasn't watching any charts, 512 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 1: you know. I would watch the news and go, oh, 513 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 1: Bam books. Let me go buy Bam books. That's hot 514 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 1: right now? Oh a o l that's the That is 515 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: the quickest way to lose money because a lot of 516 00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: times when we hear about a company, it's already high, 517 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: so it's right about the fall by the time we 518 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: actually hear about it. And that's gonna worry about the money. See, 519 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 1: I was an investor and you're telling me Rashan, you 520 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: cannot be an investor.

How do you go to plan a with 692 00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 1: this idea? Because it's still just an idea? Do you 693 00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 1: do samples? Did you go to somebody, did you start 694 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,399 Speaker 1: telling them at flea markets or pop up boots? How 695 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 1: did you get started? So? Um? Before I figured this 696 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,920 Speaker 1: is gonna be my plan a, I have been wearing 697 00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:21,799 Speaker 1: my product for years already. Um. One day I was 698 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,839 Speaker 1: sitting and I thought, looking at my shoes, honestly, how 699 00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: can I make this more comfortable? I went to my 700 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:34,760 Speaker 1: shoe repair guy UM at the time, and I asked him, 701 00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:39,360 Speaker 1: what is an amount of rubber that I can put 702 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 1: on the bottom of my shoe? Um, and I can 703 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: still walk in it safely and comfortable. So, uh, we 704 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 1: came up with in size or an amount of rubber. 705 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,880 Speaker 1: I picked up the shoe about a week later, and 706 00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: I wore that shoe, and I kid you not, I 707 00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: was taking my shoes twenty and thirty pair at a 708 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: time for him to put this extra rubber on the 709 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:10,400 Speaker 1: bottom of my shoe. M m hmm. So it was 710 00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 1: just like an idea. It's really it's really amazing that 711 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,480 Speaker 1: you were able to not saying that you care, not 712 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: incapable of so many women out there probably feeling the 713 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:22,359 Speaker 1: same pain, and then you decided to just to take 714 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: action on it. And when you took action on it, 715 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: it enabled you to create a business. Now, how do 716 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 1: you get into the business aspect of what you're doing? 717 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,000 Speaker 1: That's the that's the that's the key.

Coop uh So, a former 889 00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:49,240 Speaker 1: agent of mind. She came to me with an idea 890 00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:54,320 Speaker 1: about a sponge, and she knows how I pride myself 891 00:49:54,400 --> 00:50:01,440 Speaker 1: in skincare and all of that stuff, so she brought 892 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 1: this idea to me. She asked about certain types of 893 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:08,279 Speaker 1: phones and things like that, so I pointed her in 894 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:15,160 Speaker 1: the right direction. Uh. She's also a steamstress, so she 895 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:21,120 Speaker 1: had all these industrial machines too, So together the sponges 896 00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: and all that good stuff. So we got the We 897 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 1: got the right home. We put it together for a year, 898 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 1: a year and a half, tested it out ourselves, and 899 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,799 Speaker 1: I just thought it was time to go with it. 900 00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:43,960 Speaker 1: And so maybe not even a month ago, we launched that. 901 00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:54,960 Speaker 1: I built the website for us, and we are active. Honestly. 902 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,480 Speaker 1: It's come at a time where things are so slow 903 00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:05,640 Speaker 1: right now. But if you don't put that, if you 904 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,439 Speaker 1: don't put that foot forward out there, then you don't 905 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,799 Speaker 1: know what's going to happen. Absolutely, we know the thing 906 00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,080 Speaker 1: about I just we all know why it's slow. We 907 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:18,279 Speaker 1: all understand that people people don't you know, people right 908 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 1: down struggling to find out how to put their foot 909 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 1: forward in anything right now. The thing I like about 910 00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:28,319 Speaker 1: you is that you're not letting conditions stop you from 911 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,759 Speaker 1: moving forward. Because I tell people, I tell people all 912 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,600 Speaker 1: the time, this is a good time to catch up. 913 00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,080 Speaker 1: It's a good time to plan. You see, right now, 914 00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,600 Speaker 1: I'm planning for the third and the fourth quarter right now, 915 00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 1: because I know right now this country, this country is 916 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 1: gonna get back on his feet. And when it gets 917 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,480 Speaker 1: back on his feet, it's not going gonna be walking fat. 918 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:48,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna start running. And what you don't want to 919 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,240 Speaker 1: do is sit on your rear, end on your behind, 920 00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:54,960 Speaker 1: or mope around and talking about, oh man, what I'm 921 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,120 Speaker 1: gonna do. No, you're planning, You're thinking and thought this 922 00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,359 Speaker 1: whole interview, Chantelle, that's all. That's My biggest takeaway from 923 00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,879 Speaker 1: you is that you're not a person that sits around 924 00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,040 Speaker 1: in mopes. You're not a person to go if it's 925 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: not happening over here, oh always me, I just is 926 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,360 Speaker 1: not gonna happen for me, you go. What's playing a 927 00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:13,960 Speaker 1: over here that I can build on? Is that? Is 928 00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:16,160 Speaker 1: that something that came from your parents? It's something that 929 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:21,160 Speaker 1: just a natural quality in you. Um. I would definitely 930 00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:25,919 Speaker 1: say my parents have helped with that, especially my dad. 931 00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:32,680 Speaker 1: My dad owns a pest control service. In Florida. So um, 932 00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:42,120 Speaker 1: he's an entrepreneur himself, so I have taken those good 933 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 1: qualities from him. Well, also my mom like he's a 934 00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:50,839 Speaker 1: very hard worker, still go to school and she's uh 935 00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:55,680 Speaker 1: sixty three years old.

Don't let age tell you can stop being 938 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:04,960 Speaker 1: something that everybody else tells you shouldn't be. I always 939 00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 1: look at people at my age. I go you to 940 00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:09,800 Speaker 1: my same age, I'm really shocked because I know I 941 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,560 Speaker 1: don't look like you. It is when people will decide 942 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:15,360 Speaker 1: that they need to retire in life, is when age 943 00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,840 Speaker 1: jumps on their back.

Correct. Correct. 1058 00:59:43,920 --> 00:59:47,360 Speaker 1: I think our humble beginnings UM was really a nice 1059 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:51,560 Speaker 1: way to connect with our customers. Luckily were Sister Tip 1060 00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:55,000 Speaker 1: and our able to make products that really worked. And 1061 00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:59,320 Speaker 1: when we started sharing the products from Talan Home stay 1062 00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:04,120 Speaker 1: On really really caught fire. And uh we even marketing 1063 01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:07,040 Speaker 1: and making products for people who had similar here to 1064 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:10,320 Speaker 1: The interesting thing about it because that's what that's what 1065 01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 1: makes it is authentic because you use it, because you 1066 01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,480 Speaker 1: made a product that you use. It's almost like what 1067 01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:18,280 Speaker 1: happened to Madam C. J. Walker, you know, back in 1068 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:22,560 Speaker 1: the day, and it's your journey is is fast forward. 1069 01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:24,840 Speaker 1: There's still no difference. You know, she was an inspirational 1070 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,040 Speaker 1: woman who had an idea, saw a need for African 1071 01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:31,320 Speaker 1: American women and also for so need that can make 1072 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:34,960 Speaker 1: them look good about themselves. Isn't that the bottom line 1073 01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,560 Speaker 1: about your product is about making women feel good about themselves, 1074 01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:42,480 Speaker 1: Making women feel that that that they're that what they's 1075 01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 1: been given to him them by God. They don't have 1076 01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,160 Speaker 1: to straighten it. They don't have to do all these 1077 01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,520 Speaker 1: different things. They can actually just live this lifestyle and 1078 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:52,760 Speaker 1: be comfortable correct cut. That is the bottom line is 1079 01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,120 Speaker 1: shown that. But the bottom line is being able to succeed. 1080 01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:59,480 Speaker 1: Products that are helpful is not you know, just not 1081 01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,160 Speaker 1: limited to women. It's for for everyone, including them, including 1082 01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 1: little boys. Um. Anyone who's had texture wants the solution 1083 01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,880 Speaker 1: is jesse as really and you know, to make make 1084 01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,880 Speaker 1: things that worked and uh and making that work. So 1085 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:15,680 Speaker 1: now when I was, when I was, when I was 1086 01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:17,400 Speaker 1: doing research on you and you was talking about the 1087 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 1: diverse curly hair types they named you know, you know 1088 01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,800 Speaker 1: the whole thing is that you named the product after 1089 01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 1: your paternal grandmother, jesse May Branch. So so this whole brand, 1090 01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:32,480 Speaker 1: it seems so natural, so authentic, because you go, where 1091 01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:35,680 Speaker 1: do you get that name from? Well, that's my paternal grandmother. 1092 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:40,840 Speaker 1: So what what what was the inspirational instincts that she 1093 01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,760 Speaker 1: had that that said, you know something we're gonna put 1094 01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:47,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna put her name on our product. M h. 1095 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 1: Our grandmother, jesse Um played such a huge role in 1096 01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,240 Speaker 1: our in our family and particularly in the lives of 1097 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:57,360 Speaker 1: me and my sister teachings. You know, we spent a 1098 01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,720 Speaker 1: lot of summaries and a lot of times sitting on 1099 01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,960 Speaker 1: there my grandmother is kitching table, and you know, she 1100 01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,640 Speaker 1: happened to be a great cook. But if you sat 1101 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,480 Speaker 1: around Jessie me grand you couldn't just sit there. You 1102 01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:11,680 Speaker 1: had to be a very very good helper. So it 1103 01:02:11,720 --> 01:02:15,120 Speaker 1: wasn't uncommon for TP and I to mix the measure 1104 01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:19,680 Speaker 1: to stir the poor a little disney. Know that that 1105 01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 1: experience of being a wonderful helper to our grandmother would 1106 01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:28,360 Speaker 1: be the speed for us to create sus that work. 1107 01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:31,200 Speaker 1: But you know, outside of her, you know are seeing 1108 01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:33,680 Speaker 1: great health is and her being a wonderful cook. She 1109 01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:36,800 Speaker 1: was also the first CEO we've ever seen, the first 1110 01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:40,200 Speaker 1: female CEO we've ever seen, and that that woman ruled 1111 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:44,280 Speaker 1: our family from her kitchen table. So uh, TP and 1112 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,320 Speaker 1: I did not go to business school, so when it 1113 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:49,400 Speaker 1: came time for us to make decisions in our own business, 1114 01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:53,680 Speaker 1: we often tapped into what would yes you do. It's 1115 01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,560 Speaker 1: really amazing because you know, we all know the times 1116 01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:59,080 Speaker 1: that we are living in and guess what they're not 1117 01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,720 Speaker 1: gonna change. It's because to change the way we wear clothes, 1118 01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:06,280 Speaker 1: the way we interact, where we where we shake hands 1119 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:10,720 Speaker 1: or whether we greet people and social distancing. You are 1120 01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:16,040 Speaker 1: in a business where hair salons very intimate environments. How 1121 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,200 Speaker 1: is that affecting right now? You know a lot of 1122 01:03:19,240 --> 01:03:21,040 Speaker 1: a lot of states are on lockdown. We know they're 1123 01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,240 Speaker 1: gonna get out of that pretty soon, I believe in 1124 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,240 Speaker 1: the MONTHA made you know, especially with them ordering mask 1125 01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,480 Speaker 1: to be worn now and things of that nature, how 1126 01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:31,920 Speaker 1: is that affecting it? Because one of your questions about 1127 01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:35,000 Speaker 1: how you're navigating this whole period that now doing the 1128 01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,960 Speaker 1: outbreak and practice and safe social distancing. Talk to us 1129 01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:42,000 Speaker 1: about that. So when they say that God works in 1130 01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 1: amazing ways, you know he truly does. You know, UM 1131 01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:48,200 Speaker 1: over a decade ago and more than a decade ago, 1132 01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:51,560 Speaker 1: when Keeping and I first started making products, we really 1133 01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:55,480 Speaker 1: focused on the customer and giving her the information to 1134 01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,040 Speaker 1: on her is how to give us here is how 1135 01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,560 Speaker 1: to do all these things at home. It was less 1136 01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,960 Speaker 1: about arm in the style is, but more about teaching 1137 01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,000 Speaker 1: us how to do our own hair. So fast forward 1138 01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:10,360 Speaker 1: to what'll happening now and all of the UM social 1139 01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:14,200 Speaker 1: distancing and everything that's going on, the good believes is 1140 01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:18,040 Speaker 1: that through the natural hair movement.

You know, it's it's changed in 1165 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,640 Speaker 1: some ways, but it's also remained the same way. Before 1166 01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:35,000 Speaker 1: social media. There's even a thing teaching. And I spoke 1167 01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:39,000 Speaker 1: to our customer on ours the landslore thank god for 1168 01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:42,480 Speaker 1: the Internet, and that at the time in the chat 1169 01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:46,320 Speaker 1: room when women were talking and thank god you maybe 1170 01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,160 Speaker 1: you're making products that work, and each one told one 1171 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,640 Speaker 1: about this job curl Magic. It was clearly putting at 1172 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:55,800 Speaker 1: the time, and it was groundbreaking because there was nothing 1173 01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:59,400 Speaker 1: like it in the market. And that was express fire. 1174 01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,400 Speaker 1: Jessie was being mixed at the kitchen table Rashaan before 1175 01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:09,080 Speaker 1: they were going Viral was the word, right right, right, yeah, 1176 01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:12,120 Speaker 1: way before social media. So now social media is a 1177 01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:15,960 Speaker 1: more interactive way how to get the good world out. Um, 1178 01:06:16,240 --> 01:06:19,920 Speaker 1: but social media is just an additional platform. Was being 1179 01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:22,760 Speaker 1: able to connect with our customers and to give her 1180 01:06:22,800 --> 01:06:25,160 Speaker 1: all of the information that you need so she can 1181 01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:28,960 Speaker 1: continue to do all the great things for her here 1182 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:31,240 Speaker 1: and us the right product. We know, it's really interesting 1183 01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,480 Speaker 1: you say that because I know when I was managing 1184 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,880 Speaker 1: Steve Harvey, you know, we were remember two thousand seven. 1185 01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,840 Speaker 1: That's when social media started a peak on every appear 1186 01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,120 Speaker 1: on everybody's radar. You look on TV and you see 1187 01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:47,760 Speaker 1: the Twitter, Twitter little tag or the host names and 1188 01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:50,520 Speaker 1: ambulance names and things like that. But we had our 1189 01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:53,120 Speaker 1: little fan club. We had like eight hundred thousand fan 1190 01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:57,000 Speaker 1: club members, and so we knew when we said out 1191 01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,360 Speaker 1: a fan club to that they wanted us. They signed 1192 01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:02,200 Speaker 1: up for that. But like you're saying, you use, you're 1193 01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:05,360 Speaker 1: balancing both. You're balancing what you how you built your 1194 01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:09,360 Speaker 1: brand with this new technique, but not leaving the technique 1195 01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,600 Speaker 1: that started you. And that's really important because as we 1196 01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:14,800 Speaker 1: all know, it's like you know, it's like if you 1197 01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:16,720 Speaker 1: live and if you live your life and only know 1198 01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,160 Speaker 1: how to live your life through electricity, what's gonna happen 1199 01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,560 Speaker 1: when you lose electricity? And that's what you're saying here. 1200 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,960 Speaker 1: If you if you built the foundation, and that's what 1201 01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:26,640 Speaker 1: we're talking about right now. We're talking about building the 1202 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:30,800 Speaker 1: foundation that started at your kitchen table, just started on 1203 01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:34,040 Speaker 1: the internet, that started with fan club, just started with emails, 1204 01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,520 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, this this this social 1205 01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:39,320 Speaker 1: media that has taken over the world. You go, that's 1206 01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:41,960 Speaker 1: just a blessing right there, because we're not gonna stop 1207 01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,200 Speaker 1: doing what we're doing. We're just gonna add that to 1208 01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:49,360 Speaker 1: the blessing.

And I think we're all 1311 01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:43,360 Speaker 1: looking for solutions and it has no color, you know, 1312 01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,519 Speaker 1: So I think being helpful as the key. So just 1313 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:48,760 Speaker 1: as you know, we were stay focused on that and 1314 01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,680 Speaker 1: we were able to build our products line based on 1315 01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,120 Speaker 1: we're just trying to come up with a solution to 1316 01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:59,400 Speaker 1: be helpful. And you're doing and you do a lot 1317 01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:01,200 Speaker 1: of people. I interview a lot of people on this 1318 01:14:01,200 --> 01:14:03,200 Speaker 1: show and I didn't bless to interview a lot of 1319 01:14:03,200 --> 01:14:07,040 Speaker 1: people in the hair care business. And my number one 1320 01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:11,560 Speaker 1: takeaway is that you provide information. You provide more information 1321 01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:15,840 Speaker 1: about hairstyles than I've ever interviewed anybody on this show. 1322 01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,080 Speaker 1: Because when I go to this one page, well, you 1323 01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:20,600 Speaker 1: get a description. You actually get a description of what 1324 01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:23,360 Speaker 1: a waving hair is. You get a description of what 1325 01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:25,920 Speaker 1: the curly hair is, you get a description of what 1326 01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:29,320 Speaker 1: a kinky hairstyle is. A transitioners whether the what the 1327 01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:32,160 Speaker 1: what type of hairstyle is. In other words, if you 1328 01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:36,240 Speaker 1: don't know, now you know when you come to Miss 1329 01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:40,920 Speaker 1: Jesse and that to me is that that type of 1330 01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:46,160 Speaker 1: detail tells me why you are who you are. You 1331 01:14:46,240 --> 01:14:50,000 Speaker 1: leave no doubt. One thing I've learned is information is 1332 01:14:50,040 --> 01:14:54,639 Speaker 1: what makes people successful. Information and communication is key to success. 1333 01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:59,800 Speaker 1: You know, you sat down and not only launched a 1334 01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:03,400 Speaker 1: new product, but you said, I'm gonna educate people about 1335 01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:07,960 Speaker 1: our product and also tell them how our product works 1336 01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:12,640 Speaker 1: for them. You you took out, You took all of 1337 01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:15,559 Speaker 1: the all of the was and what they say, doubt 1338 01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:19,120 Speaker 1: are the questions out of the servant because you're covering 1339 01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:24,360 Speaker 1: every hairstyle here, every hairstyle. So my question to you, 1340 01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:26,200 Speaker 1: my question to you is this. And I don't want 1341 01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:27,880 Speaker 1: to talk too much because this is your show, this 1342 01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,920 Speaker 1: is your moment, and I'm just excited because I'm being 1343 01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:32,880 Speaker 1: you know, all this great differmat I'm an information guy. 1344 01:15:33,160 --> 01:15:35,560 Speaker 1: When I started getting information, I'm being educated because I 1345 01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:37,120 Speaker 1: started off the show with the little jokes about me 1346 01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:39,160 Speaker 1: being bald headed and they ain't got no hair and 1347 01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:45,519 Speaker 1: all that. Now now I'm like, wow, wow, Miss Jesse 1348 01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:50,679 Speaker 1: is the bomb. She's the original, she's the queen, she's 1349 01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:58,000 Speaker 1: the beast, she's the mover in the shape you and 1350 01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:02,719 Speaker 1: I am. I am I putting too much up on you. Well, 1351 01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:05,080 Speaker 1: you know, I think I think ros Sean, I think less. 1352 01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:07,920 Speaker 1: You know, for me, it's just hard for me to 1353 01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:11,759 Speaker 1: not stay focused on our mention and what we're trying 1354 01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:14,719 Speaker 1: to do. And I just nearly stay focused on coming 1355 01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:17,880 Speaker 1: up with those solutions because I know people they want 1356 01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,439 Speaker 1: to be their best and I think for many years, 1357 01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:24,599 Speaker 1: many of us, particularly the person with the tighter coil curl, 1358 01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:27,519 Speaker 1: we have been straightened our hair for so many years. 1359 01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,840 Speaker 1: So information was the key. She needed to know that 1360 01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:33,240 Speaker 1: her hair is beautiful. She needed to know that her 1361 01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:36,200 Speaker 1: hair is special, and she needed to be lined up 1362 01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:39,280 Speaker 1: with the right products that are gonna make her hair 1363 01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:42,640 Speaker 1: do all the wonderful things that it can do. And 1364 01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,840 Speaker 1: I think that's why information was so key. You know, 1365 01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:47,960 Speaker 1: my sister and I spent a lot of time in 1366 01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:51,800 Speaker 1: our kitchen table mixing, and we're also hairstylus. But we 1367 01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:54,760 Speaker 1: realized that our work was not finished and that we 1368 01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,519 Speaker 1: did had to we did have to educate and just 1369 01:16:57,640 --> 01:17:00,679 Speaker 1: take it, you know, rewind and just start from scratch 1370 01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:04,000 Speaker 1: and just kind of let people know or let them 1371 01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:06,960 Speaker 1: know that this is what we were working with and 1372 01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,280 Speaker 1: you have this kind of hair and here are the 1373 01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:11,840 Speaker 1: products that work. That's with that. And I think that 1374 01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:16,519 Speaker 1: that communication that you spoke about was really it was 1375 01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:21,120 Speaker 1: it was the foundation for the relationship between Miss Jesse's 1376 01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:24,280 Speaker 1: and our customers. Okay, then you know I'm playing with 1377 01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:26,839 Speaker 1: your website, right, So I'm just going around just clicking 1378 01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:29,479 Speaker 1: the navigation and everything, just reading about your story and 1379 01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:31,600 Speaker 1: just talking about your story to the public and that 1380 01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:34,800 Speaker 1: everybody know. I'm in all of Miko Branch and the 1381 01:17:34,800 --> 01:17:38,679 Speaker 1: Miss jesse original brand. Then I came across the curl Bar, 1382 01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:44,280 Speaker 1: Miss Jesse's curl Bar. What is that? That looks so cool? 1383 01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:47,840 Speaker 1: Boot By Appointment down in fourth Lawida there, Florida. See, 1384 01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:51,640 Speaker 1: that wasn't on none of my questions. That sounds so 1385 01:17:51,840 --> 01:17:54,439 Speaker 1: that sounds hot right there. Tell me about the Miss 1386 01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:57,120 Speaker 1: jesse curl Bar that's down there. I'm assuming it's the 1387 01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:02,439 Speaker 1: only location is down in fourth Lawida, Florida. Correct, Well, 1388 01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:05,679 Speaker 1: ra Sean, Mis Jessy's Curlbar was born out of Miss 1389 01:18:05,760 --> 01:18:09,880 Speaker 1: Jesse's Salon and MS Salon was actually created and our 1390 01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:12,879 Speaker 1: brownstone in the best of Cybus and section of Brooklyn, 1391 01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:15,960 Speaker 1: which at the time was known as the hood where 1392 01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,519 Speaker 1: we built our business. Yes, that is where we built 1393 01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:22,160 Speaker 1: our business and that became our R and D in 1394 01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:25,560 Speaker 1: our testing ground or products that work out here in 1395 01:18:25,600 --> 01:18:30,759 Speaker 1: the market. So part of this Jestine's heritage is the salon. 1396 01:18:31,080 --> 01:18:33,840 Speaker 1: It's where we connected with our customer and it's where 1397 01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:37,360 Speaker 1: we figure out what products are necessary to be put 1398 01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:39,920 Speaker 1: out here. We don't. We try our best not to 1399 01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,320 Speaker 1: come out with products just to put them on shelves 1400 01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:45,160 Speaker 1: to make money. Although we are in the business to 1401 01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:48,559 Speaker 1: ultimately make money, we use that salon to really really 1402 01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:52,120 Speaker 1: understand what's needed. So, whether we're in brook the New York, 1403 01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,880 Speaker 1: whether we're in our soho in New York, or whether 1404 01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:58,880 Speaker 1: we're in Florida, Miss Jessie's always loved having a place 1405 01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:01,559 Speaker 1: for someone can come in if they hear done, if 1406 01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:03,960 Speaker 1: they want you.

They get recognized 1511 01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:02,400 Speaker 1: for the athlete, and you get recognized for the mauching bands. 1512 01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:06,720 Speaker 1: Was the impact of Spellman had on you, has has 1513 01:25:06,800 --> 01:25:10,759 Speaker 1: had on your carein is having on your life. Oh man, listen, 1514 01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:13,080 Speaker 1: and you know we've just celebrated our hundred and thirty 1515 01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:17,760 Speaker 1: ninth UH anniversary. Founder's Day was this past weekend, and I, 1516 01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:20,439 Speaker 1: you know, I I did an interview with them as 1517 01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:24,160 Speaker 1: part of our virtual celebration, and I even, it's funny 1518 01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:26,360 Speaker 1: you asked me that, because the first thing I said was, 1519 01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:30,240 Speaker 1: you know, Spellman actually became the most valuable for me 1520 01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:33,680 Speaker 1: once I left, because I had no you know, I 1521 01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:37,040 Speaker 1: had no idea that what I was embarking on was 1522 01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:40,360 Speaker 1: not only an amazing education, but it was a global, 1523 01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:45,640 Speaker 1: lifelong network. Um oh yeah, yeah. I mean I've been 1524 01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,160 Speaker 1: blessed to travel the world and I have been no 1525 01:25:48,320 --> 01:25:53,280 Speaker 1: place where there's not been somebody affiliated, an alumni, something 1526 01:25:53,600 --> 01:25:57,400 Speaker 1: wanting to go a future student with Spellman. And it's 1527 01:25:57,400 --> 01:25:59,920 Speaker 1: a built in sisterhood. It's a sorority on its own, 1528 01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:03,479 Speaker 1: so you know, and it's never it's never ending. You know, 1529 01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:06,120 Speaker 1: we've got all the alumni from from all those years ago, 1530 01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:08,599 Speaker 1: but then every year, we know, Spewman takes in at 1531 01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:13,240 Speaker 1: least another plast of five dynamic women. So the sisterhood 1532 01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:15,960 Speaker 1: continues to grow. And you know when you when you 1533 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:19,640 Speaker 1: get to Spellman freshman year, literally freshman week, um in 1534 01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:23,599 Speaker 1: the freshman welcome, the the advisors and the staff say, 1535 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:26,559 Speaker 1: you know, choosing Spellman is choosing to change the world. 1536 01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:30,160 Speaker 1: And so for me that has been a life mantra, 1537 01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:33,120 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of what can I do to 1538 01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:37,240 Speaker 1: make it different? And and and that's that's my whole passion. 1539 01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:40,519 Speaker 1: It's part of my self purpose and so that comes 1540 01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:44,559 Speaker 1: from Spellman. Now, unfortunately lost my mom my, my literally 1541 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:47,000 Speaker 1: the first two months of my freshman year, and so 1542 01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:50,640 Speaker 1: Spellman also raised me. You know, I was there the 1543 01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:54,360 Speaker 1: early the early part of my adulthood. So the morals 1544 01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:58,919 Speaker 1: and values of Spellman again, the sisterhood, the appreciation and 1545 01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:03,479 Speaker 1: um and uh and value of education and what it 1546 01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:06,000 Speaker 1: can do for you in society, I mean, all of it. 1547 01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,400 Speaker 1: I can't speak enough. And that continues to go. It's 1548 01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:10,680 Speaker 1: not just like I went to Spellman and I'm I'm 1549 01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,040 Speaker 1: an alumni. I mean I talked about someone all the time. 1550 01:27:13,360 --> 01:27:15,759 Speaker 1: Like I said, I may be doing a motivational speech, 1551 01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:18,639 Speaker 1: or working for a corporation or on a movie set 1552 01:27:18,960 --> 01:27:22,559 Speaker 1: or in Ghana, Africa, or philanthromy You know, every walk, 1553 01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:26,360 Speaker 1: every lane of my life, I constantly speak about and 1554 01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:30,479 Speaker 1: have a conversation about the amazingness that spellment is well. 1555 01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,519 Speaker 1: I love that the tone. That's that's the key because 1556 01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,720 Speaker 1: whenever I go through our interview, I've been fortunate on 1557 01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:39,280 Speaker 1: this show, the interview over five hundred people since I 1558 01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:44,439 Speaker 1: launched the show, and I know, and I always go 1559 01:27:44,520 --> 01:27:46,880 Speaker 1: through the resumes of the bios and when I see 1560 01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:49,479 Speaker 1: the HPCU, I pull it out because that's a nugget. 1561 01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:52,200 Speaker 1: I gotta live and pull that nugget out. And so 1562 01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:54,439 Speaker 1: so because people write because a lot of schools take 1563 01:27:54,479 --> 01:27:56,840 Speaker 1: credit for your success because they're all Amgatan sing that 1564 01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:58,920 Speaker 1: you might have went to a white institution or a 1565 01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:03,320 Speaker 1: traditional institution that's non HPCU. Because Hollywood is dominant. I know, 1566 01:28:03,439 --> 01:28:06,360 Speaker 1: I'm I'm based in Hollywood. I've been in Hollywood's namely two. 1567 01:28:06,720 --> 01:28:09,920 Speaker 1: I know the amount of executives, amount of writers, the 1568 01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:13,240 Speaker 1: amount of producers, the amount of actors and actresses that 1569 01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:16,479 Speaker 1: are really dominating the landscape, just like you and the 1570 01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:20,240 Speaker 1: entertainment arena. And that goes over into music or your 1571 01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:23,720 Speaker 1: rap or your music producer. It's really amazing what HBCUs 1572 01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:25,880 Speaker 1: are doing. And I always like to point that out 1573 01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:29,599 Speaker 1: and let people know that how inspired and how how 1574 01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:31,840 Speaker 1: just you just just you, I just like I just 1575 01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:35,760 Speaker 1: turned on the waterfalls and you started talking. Boom. I know, 1576 01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:39,080 Speaker 1: I'm glad you. I'm glad you mentioned all those different 1577 01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:42,639 Speaker 1: avenues because I think not just Spellman or more House 1578 01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:45,439 Speaker 1: or the a U Center, but any one of the HBCU. 1579 01:28:45,600 --> 01:28:47,760 Speaker 1: What I think happens is because all of them are 1580 01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:52,040 Speaker 1: such an intimate environment. Um, I think you get another 1581 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:56,120 Speaker 1: level of attention and guidance then you would at any 1582 01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:59,200 Speaker 1: other institutional university or even an IVY league. You know, 1583 01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:04,559 Speaker 1: absolutely right, and got accepted to Princeton, Yale, Harvard. But 1584 01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:08,800 Speaker 1: I just you know, I was drawn to the intimacy 1585 01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:12,720 Speaker 1: and the level of special that someone was showing me 1586 01:29:13,000 --> 01:29:15,960 Speaker 1: they weren't and wanted to help me be. You can't 1587 01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:18,680 Speaker 1: beat that, you know, you can't beat that awesome. I'm 1588 01:29:18,680 --> 01:29:22,639 Speaker 1: talking to a J.

I you know, I believe that 1621 01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:07,840 Speaker 1: the reason why I was given the business because I 1622 01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:11,360 Speaker 1: didn't pursue a business that I didn't pursue creating the 1623 01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:14,920 Speaker 1: aj Zone as a business entity. At first, I believe 1624 01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:18,360 Speaker 1: I was called to to share my knowledge. You know. 1625 01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:20,559 Speaker 1: When I first came into the game as an actress, 1626 01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:25,519 Speaker 1: um A a degree from an HBCU wasn't part of 1627 01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:29,240 Speaker 1: the qualification, but who I was as a result of 1628 01:31:29,280 --> 01:31:32,599 Speaker 1: my degrees and my science interest was a big part 1629 01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:34,880 Speaker 1: of me. And so when I spoke to going to 1630 01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:38,160 Speaker 1: sleep as I pursued acting, I said, you know, I've 1631 01:31:38,200 --> 01:31:40,160 Speaker 1: got to do something. There's no reason why I have 1632 01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:43,760 Speaker 1: all this knowledge. I'm now living what I've learned. It's 1633 01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:46,960 Speaker 1: caused a major difference in my life. My like you said, 1634 01:31:47,000 --> 01:31:49,880 Speaker 1: my appearance, my life, my energy, my attitude. I've got 1635 01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:51,519 Speaker 1: to you know, I've got to share what I know. 1636 01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:56,559 Speaker 1: And so, you know, again after losing parents to one 1637 01:31:56,600 --> 01:32:00,160 Speaker 1: of the big diseases, I feel like it's it's it's 1638 01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:04,360 Speaker 1: my purpose, passion and calling to share information to save 1639 01:32:04,439 --> 01:32:07,679 Speaker 1: other people. You know, my dad said, literally, my dad 1640 01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:11,360 Speaker 1: said before he passed, like you you've got to share 1641 01:32:11,400 --> 01:32:13,400 Speaker 1: what you know. He's like, you know, you may not 1642 01:32:13,439 --> 01:32:15,679 Speaker 1: be able to save me, but there's so many people 1643 01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:18,439 Speaker 1: who will benefit from what you know and who you are, 1644 01:32:18,760 --> 01:32:21,599 Speaker 1: and know that you're an example of living in it's 1645 01:32:21,640 --> 01:32:23,840 Speaker 1: not many we had. You have to continue to be 1646 01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:27,280 Speaker 1: an example. And unfortunately I lost him, but after I 1647 01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:30,160 Speaker 1: did Baby Boy in two thousand two, but his words 1648 01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:33,640 Speaker 1: stuck with me and so for me, you know, it 1649 01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:36,479 Speaker 1: needs everything and even now you know the fact that 1650 01:32:36,800 --> 01:32:39,400 Speaker 1: we are we are a quarantine because of this, the 1651 01:32:39,560 --> 01:32:43,759 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and as an African American culture and African culture, 1652 01:32:43,800 --> 01:32:48,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm very involved. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this whole 1653 01:32:48,920 --> 01:32:53,960 Speaker 1: high blood pressure, diabetes, um asthma, obesity. You know, it's 1654 01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:56,439 Speaker 1: it's not anything new. You know a lot of people 1655 01:32:56,479 --> 01:33:01,080 Speaker 1: are receiving the high numbers of African Americans suffering and 1656 01:33:01,160 --> 01:33:04,680 Speaker 1: dying because of our health risks. As this is some 1657 01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:07,880 Speaker 1: type of new thing. It's not. This was inevitable because 1658 01:33:07,880 --> 01:33:11,960 Speaker 1: we have not yet taken seriously our health prospective. And 1659 01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:14,479 Speaker 1: that's not a fingerpoint. That just means I have more 1660 01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:17,800 Speaker 1: work to do, you understand. Absolutely. That's why I actual 1661 01:33:17,840 --> 01:33:21,000 Speaker 1: when I hear those all those those news articles coming out, 1662 01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:24,040 Speaker 1: it's almost like false hype to me, because because the 1663 01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:26,559 Speaker 1: reality is, we have not changed our diet. We're not 1664 01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:29,879 Speaker 1: making an effort. We all over obeast. You know, cholestero. 1665 01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:32,280 Speaker 1: You could throw cholesterol in there too, along with the hyby, 1666 01:33:32,960 --> 01:33:37,720 Speaker 1: the diabetes, the poor eating fried foods, greasy foods, you know, 1667 01:33:37,880 --> 01:33:40,679 Speaker 1: just just just just so, when I see that pop 1668 01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:43,559 Speaker 1: on the screen, it's like, Okay, if you just took 1669 01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:47,200 Speaker 1: away this pandemic, we still will be dying on the 1670 01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:51,040 Speaker 1: great Oh my gosh, I'm so glad you said that, 1671 01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:53,000 Speaker 1: because I want to be able to say that, and 1672 01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:55,760 Speaker 1: I want to shout until every mountaintop I get take 1673 01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:59,200 Speaker 1: away the pandemic. The pandemic just got added on to 1674 01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:02,519 Speaker 1: letting us know and and re renewing our understanding of 1675 01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:05,320 Speaker 1: the position we're in. Because, like you said, take it away, 1676 01:34:05,560 --> 01:34:07,840 Speaker 1: we still are at a higher risk of illness and 1677 01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:11,400 Speaker 1: death because of all of those pre existing health conditions that, 1678 01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:15,080 Speaker 1: mind you, a lot of them can be reversed. Doctors 1679 01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:18,519 Speaker 1: have told many people I I consult um thirty minutes 1680 01:34:18,840 --> 01:34:21,960 Speaker 1: for thirty dollars available at the ajon dot com and 1681 01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:25,840 Speaker 1: our store. So I do consultations across the globe all day, 1682 01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:29,080 Speaker 1: every day, and all I'm hearing is, well, the doctor 1683 01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:31,120 Speaker 1: told me to walk a little bit more every day, 1684 01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:33,120 Speaker 1: and I may not need this half a pill I'm taking. 1685 01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:35,920 Speaker 1: Or the doctor told me to decrease my processed food, 1686 01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:38,160 Speaker 1: or the doctor told me to drink more water, and 1687 01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:42,080 Speaker 1: I probably don't even need medication. And I can't tell you, embarrassingly, 1688 01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:44,759 Speaker 1: how many people don't even listen to those little changes, 1689 01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:50,559 Speaker 1: you know. Scary. I did pastor John Gray on book 1690 01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:52,720 Speaker 1: of John Gray's show on own and he was in 1691 01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:55,759 Speaker 1: the hospital two weeks later. He didn't even need insulin 1692 01:34:55,840 --> 01:34:58,320 Speaker 1: for his diabetes. And all I did was changes food. 1693 01:34:58,760 --> 01:35:01,720 Speaker 1: All I did was pumped law suits and vegetables through 1694 01:35:01,720 --> 01:35:04,719 Speaker 1: protein shake smoothie. I've changed a lot of his nutritional 1695 01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:07,080 Speaker 1: lifestyle and in two weeks, not only was he out 1696 01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:10,679 Speaker 1: of the hospital, but he was also insiling. It's doable 1697 01:35:11,040 --> 01:35:13,680 Speaker 1: and people need to believe. People need to believe you 1698 01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:17,920 Speaker 1: can survive these diseases. You can put putt, get less 1699 01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:20,600 Speaker 1: medication for high blood pressure. You can lower your A 1700 01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:23,479 Speaker 1: one C if you're diabetic. It is possible. And if 1701 01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:26,519 Speaker 1: we're going to change our statistics across the world, we 1702 01:35:26,640 --> 01:35:30,000 Speaker 1: have to change how we live. Awesome.

Johnson, How you know, 1719 01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:30,760 Speaker 1: how did you get into acting? You know, because your 1720 01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:38,880 Speaker 1: degree is psychology and chemistry. Well, I've always been whatever. 1721 01:36:39,360 --> 01:36:44,240 Speaker 1: First of all, there was a long part well because 1722 01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:46,040 Speaker 1: there's so many different directions that I was trying to 1723 01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,280 Speaker 1: figure out which what I was going to go in. Uh, 1724 01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:50,720 Speaker 1: you know, and we're all the time things. I mean 1725 01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:52,639 Speaker 1: we were in general. I would tell you the whole 1726 01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:56,760 Speaker 1: big but you know the quick, the quick version of it, 1727 01:36:56,840 --> 01:37:00,600 Speaker 1: if that. Um, I've always been passionate about performing in 1728 01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:03,559 Speaker 1: the arts. I mean, I grew up performing Arefa Franklin 1729 01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:06,680 Speaker 1: songs at our our Eastern dinners, you know, our Thanksgiving 1730 01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:10,080 Speaker 1: and so that led to my parents putting me in 1731 01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:15,599 Speaker 1: um performing classes, dancing, acting, modeling, and I loved it. 1732 01:37:15,840 --> 01:37:18,080 Speaker 1: And even though I grew up in an academic household, 1733 01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:20,479 Speaker 1: you know, my parents went to HBCUs. My dad was 1734 01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:22,720 Speaker 1: to Howard, my mom went to Chainey, my brothers went 1735 01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:26,000 Speaker 1: to went to higher education. Institutions. I knew that that 1736 01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:28,120 Speaker 1: was the first thing I knew I was never gonna 1737 01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:30,920 Speaker 1: be able to just go into a career of the arts. 1738 01:37:30,920 --> 01:37:34,000 Speaker 1: And I'm so glad my parents didn't allow it because 1739 01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:37,640 Speaker 1: again because of my experience of Spellman, the confidence it 1740 01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:40,879 Speaker 1: built in me. Um, you know, the the other dynamic 1741 01:37:40,920 --> 01:37:43,040 Speaker 1: of my life. I wouldn't have the level of a 1742 01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:45,680 Speaker 1: healthy living business like the AJ Zone had I not 1743 01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:49,719 Speaker 1: gone to school. Um just but not not because of passion, 1744 01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:52,320 Speaker 1: but just because it gives me the credibility that a 1745 01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:54,400 Speaker 1: lot of other people in healthy living and fitness do 1746 01:37:54,479 --> 01:37:58,439 Speaker 1: not have. And so I just believe that acting was 1747 01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:01,200 Speaker 1: something I thought I was going to try. Even my 1748 01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:03,280 Speaker 1: dad said, go to l A, get it out of 1749 01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:06,120 Speaker 1: your system, go dance in some music videos, go get shift, 1750 01:38:06,600 --> 01:38:09,280 Speaker 1: and get your butt back to med school. And literally 1751 01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:11,880 Speaker 1: in the first yeah, in the first thirty days of 1752 01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:16,479 Speaker 1: landing in Hollywood, I started working. I was doing bit roles, 1753 01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:19,639 Speaker 1: guest starring Jamie Fox um Fresh Prince. At the time 1754 01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:21,920 Speaker 1: I ran into Keena and I VWA and that run 1755 01:38:21,920 --> 01:38:24,439 Speaker 1: in landed me the choreography job for a Living Color 1756 01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:26,759 Speaker 1: as a fly girl, I mean, And then of course 1757 01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:29,160 Speaker 1: that landed me the role and even being considered for 1758 01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:32,760 Speaker 1: house party, So you know, it was something that I 1759 01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:36,040 Speaker 1: was exploring of. You know, don't be afraid check all 1760 01:38:36,080 --> 01:38:39,559 Speaker 1: your options, fuel your passions. As just something that happened 1761 01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:42,320 Speaker 1: to hit and I loved it. So it's really a story. 1762 01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:44,599 Speaker 1: I mean, the bottom line is for for anyone listening, 1763 01:38:44,840 --> 01:38:48,360 Speaker 1: I feel like the real true story is don't tuck 1764 01:38:48,400 --> 01:38:50,880 Speaker 1: yourself out of what you love, even if it's a 1765 01:38:50,960 --> 01:38:53,720 Speaker 1: completely different lane than what you feel like you've been 1766 01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:56,040 Speaker 1: prepared for. I was supposed to go to med school. 1767 01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:58,640 Speaker 1: I studied at an amazing four year institution to go 1768 01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:02,120 Speaker 1: to as premy but I had another passion, and here 1769 01:39:02,120 --> 01:39:06,160 Speaker 1: we are, Yes, you are what My degree is in mathematics. 1770 01:39:06,280 --> 01:39:08,640 Speaker 1: I work for IBM before I decided to pursue a 1771 01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:11,599 Speaker 1: career as a stand up comedian. And so I totally 1772 01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:14,680 Speaker 1: agree because sometimes you can always tell people you know, 1773 01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:16,559 Speaker 1: people will point you in the right direction, but that 1774 01:39:16,600 --> 01:39:19,160 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you have to live that point, live that 1775 01:39:19,200 --> 01:39:21,320 Speaker 1: direction they're pointing. You have to wake up one day 1776 01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:23,160 Speaker 1: and say, what is it making me happy? What is 1777 01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:25,400 Speaker 1: motivating me to get out of bed? The reason you 1778 01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:28,160 Speaker 1: enthuseda this morning and talking so strong because you you 1779 01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:30,160 Speaker 1: like your life. You're doing what you want to do 1780 01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:32,120 Speaker 1: in your life, and a lot of people don't do that. 1781 01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:34,680 Speaker 1: A lot of people don't do that. And let me 1782 01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:36,960 Speaker 1: just add this, if you think about it, you know, 1783 01:39:37,080 --> 01:39:40,560 Speaker 1: being an entertainment or even just loving that degree of entertainment, 1784 01:39:40,720 --> 01:39:43,960 Speaker 1: but also being armed with my degrees and my passion 1785 01:39:44,040 --> 01:39:48,759 Speaker 1: for science, it helps me create a whole different, perfect 1786 01:39:48,840 --> 01:39:52,240 Speaker 1: for me if I can say that, um perfect for 1787 01:39:52,320 --> 01:39:54,800 Speaker 1: me brand of healthy living. You know, I could be 1788 01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:58,160 Speaker 1: a typical doctor in a white lab coat or a researcher. 1789 01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:00,920 Speaker 1: But you know, I decide that that there was a 1790 01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:04,360 Speaker 1: way that I wanted to and possibly could do this 1791 01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:07,840 Speaker 1: this medicine thing. And so my lane is just different 1792 01:40:07,840 --> 01:40:10,639 Speaker 1: than the way somebody else does.
