139
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,200

140
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: you know, because you don't know. Everybody thinks that that

141
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: uh in our business, that they that it's people that

142
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: know every single thing that's going to happen. And there's

143
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: the sage or advice. Let me tell you something I

144
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,239
Speaker 1: don't know, and I and I accept that if I,

145
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: if I knew everything that's gonna work, what every show

146
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: that was going to be a hit. Okay for instance,

147
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: if I knew everything that was gonna happen, my butt

148
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: would be bronzed and standing out in front of Sony

149
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: Sony pictures saying go that way. But but I don't.

150
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I I have I have examples of it

151
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: of me not knowing so well so one or two

152
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: times that I did turn down things and that that

153
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: turned out to be pretty big. I can I can

154
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: give you an example Proud Family, which everybody knows now,

155
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 1: but when Proud Family first started, Proud Family was on

156
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: Disney Channel in the early early years, when when it

157
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: just really it did not pay a lot. It wasn't

158
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: it wasn't a big status simple thing to be on

159
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: Disney Channel. Uh at the time, you know, it was

160
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: just they were just getting it going and they were

161
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: doing great, great work, but just getting it going. In

162
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: be honest with you, at that time all of my

163
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: shows were network shows, uh, CBS and ABCN and up

164
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 1: n box, you know, so there wasn't a big It

165
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like the thing to do would be to

166
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: go and do something on the Disney Channel. But I did,

167
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 1: you know, and when against agents and folks sing, why

168
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: would you do that? The time wasted? You know? Okay, right,

169
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,599
Speaker 1: How would I know? How would I know that, uh,

170
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 1: that that that Destiny's Child and the salons were going

171
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: to come on and sing the theme song that show

172
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: would be that was a big deal for me and

173
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: a very helpful thing in my career. And how would

174
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: I know? How could I possibly know that years years

175
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: after the show was off the air. We hadn't been

176
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: working on it in several years. And And would I

177
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: know that Disney would buy ABC Network and then that

178
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 1: they would have to they needed to have uh Saturday

179
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: Morning cartoons and they wanted an African American show on Saturday,

180
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: Marning Cartoons. Well they had one. They dug dug into

181
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: their Disney Disney channel and pulled and pulled out. Uh

182
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: Proud Family. Now, all of a sudden, Proud Family is

183
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: on in the mornings on Saturday, making more than I

184
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: was than I was doing some of my other networks

185
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: show at night because of the ship volume of music

186
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: in it. You can't know that what I believe in

198
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: fast forward the Black Lightning Man, your music on the

199
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: on this particular show that we're talking about Black Lightning,

200
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: which is on the c W is a very it's

201
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: organically played out. But it also goes back to you know,

202
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: you have a catalog. You're one of the most successful

203

Speaker 1: music catalogs called true music pro dot com. Tell everybody

Speaker 1: exactly what that's all about, True music pro dot com.

205
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: You know, Uh, to be honest with you, years ago,

206
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: uh well, well, uh, thirteen fourteen years ago, I was

207
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: toying with the idea of actually retiring of you know,

208
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: saying and I looked back and I said, you know something,

209
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like I had done anything enough. Just

210
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: in my head. It's not you know, like here's some

211
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: rule that you have what you tap to do. But

212
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like I had done enough for others

213
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: trying to get into this and people h that that

214
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: always come to me, how do you get into that?

215
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: I could get a major recording artists to come up

216
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: and nask me how do you get in the television

217
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: and film game, you know, and because they know that

218
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: at some point or another, you know, you get a

219
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: little bit older and in the pop world, you know,

220
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: you're sleeping. Yeah, yeah, you gotta make that money while

221
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: you're sleeping uh and and and and I started I

222
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: started thinking, how could I help some of these folks

223
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: get in? And I started seeing the changes also again

224
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: checking the trends. I started seeing the trend that people

225
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: were using more songs in in scores, in in the

226
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: scoring of television shows and movies. And I didn't think

227
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: that that was going back the other way. I didn't

228
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: think that once that Jennie was out of bottle, it

229
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: was and mystically going to stop. And so and I

230
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: also knew that this was with with the library, you

231
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 1: could get a person that has never done anything in

232
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: television or film in. You get them an opportunity to

233
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: get in. And and and within the first five years,

234
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 1: not only had I gotten just thousands and thousands of songs,

235
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: and we produced all of these songs through true music

236
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: with me overseeing it, and a lot of just really

237
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,239
Speaker 1: brilliant artists. I mean, some of these people are way more,

238
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: way more brilliant and talented than I, and they just

239
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: haven't had that opportunity to get in, uh, to this,

240
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: to this world. And I would say over the people

241
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: that are into music had never but many of them

242
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: would Golden Platinum records on the wall had never ever

243
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: had anything on television or in a movie, you know.

244
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: And so they went from that to to getting bored

245
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: with how many things that they were getting because of

246
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: the fact that they're part of your catalog and you

247
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: can go get their music, and and and and and

248
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 1: it scored with their music, right, Yes, yes, you can

249
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: use the songs. And these songs turn up in in

250
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: TV shows and movies there and all my shows from

251
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: like the Quad was full of true music. Uh in

252
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: contempt on VT was full of of true music. You

253
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: hear of true music on on Black Lightning. You're gonna

254
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: hear a ton of it in uh in the neighborhood.

255
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: And I look seck to say, you said, I'm gonna

256
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: be in my award winner. But within five years, you know,

257
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: and this isn't really important what I say for young

258
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: minorities and women. Now a lot of folks are getting

259
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: the getting these awards and acknowledgement in television when it

260
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: comes to minorities and women. And in five years, I got,

261
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: I got, I managed. Uh, we managed to get seven

262
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: ask Cap Film and TV awards for not me, for

263
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: my writers in the library, you know, from bringing them

264
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: because we bring them along into our original writing uh

265
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: projects as well. And that is that's an exciting moment.

266
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: And that wouldn't have happened if I retired, that would

267
00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: not have happened. Now you've got you've got these people

268
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: out there. They have something that nobody can take away

269
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: from I can't take it away from it. You can't

270
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: take away them. They will always be there in the

271
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,040

00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: the world to me because I've been on this journey

356
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 1: a long time. I've been on the journey very long time.

357
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: And I was laying in my bed one day and

358
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: all the spears said, um, contact Steve Harvey's business manager.

359
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: I said, Okay, and I did, and I contacted you

360
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: and you were on your journey starting your new journey

361
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: of the time, and I started googling you know how

362
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: we Google folks, and I started googling you and I

363
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: ran into a video that says, you gotta push your brand.

364
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,880
Speaker 1: You gotta push your brand, man, And those words right

365
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: there got me out of bed and started me pushing

366
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: the Feeling Friends brand once again, because you get tired

367
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: when you get so many rejections and people saying no

368
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: when you just keep going. And that night I was tired.

369
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: But that night I looked at that video and you said,

370
00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 1: you gotta push your brand. You gotta push your brand man,

371
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: I got up and started pushing my brand. And years later,

372
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: right now, I got an investor. We're doing the things

373
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,199
Speaker 1: that I'm supposed to be doing on my assignment, and

374
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 1: this is awesome to really meet you at this time.

375
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm excited, so we're gonna have a

376
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: the time. Good, let's talk about our relationship. I started

377
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: because you started with me when I was doing money

378
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 1: making conversation on my Facebook page, correct, And it was

379
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: something I was doing once and we just started and

380
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: I was just like I would answer. It was funny

381
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: because you know on my Facebook page, it was like

382
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: she will respond, I respond back, so like they knew

383
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 1: it was me communicating because they asked a question, I

384
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 1: respond back to their questions. And so this is more

385
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: what we're doing today. It's a more advanced version of

386
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: what I was doing back on my Facebook page because

387
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 1: now I can talk and interact and and also I

388
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: feel I'm providing a bigger service. So tell every about

389
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: exactly what what you do and what is your company?

390
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 1: All about your brand? Talk about your brand, my brand.

391
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: My brand is the Feeling Friends, and the Feeling Friends

392
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: is a set of characters twelve characters at this time

393
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: that gifts children the vocabulary to talk about their feelings.

394
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: Social emotion learning is really huge now, very very huge.

395
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: I started this journey twenty four years ago when social

396
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: emotional learning no one knew anything about. And in this

397
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: journey it felt like to me a job journey where

398
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: you're stripped of everything, but you stay on the journey.

399
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: But my daughter told me it was more of a

400
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: Noah journey because I was building an arc that and

401
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: when no abuildings aren't no one even knew of Rain,

402
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: I was building this arc and that people eventually won't

403
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 1: come on board. And right now, I built this arc

404
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 1: with these characters. And yes, people did call me crazy

405
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: because I gave up everything to continue to build this art.

406
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: So the feeling friends are these wonderful characters that give

407
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: children the vocabulary to talk about their feelings. When my

408
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 1: daughter was um six years diagnosed with depression, and there

409
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: were no six years old, there were no tools on

410
00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: the market to help her in the psychologist said, you

411
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: gotta get her talk about her feelings, and so I

412
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: went out there to try to buy something. There was

413
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: nothing there. And so what I realized I had taught

414
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: her all the words that a pre school shouldn' on

415
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: a kindergartens, you know, but there were no feelings words

416
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: on there. So I knew she liked music. I knew

417
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,639
Speaker 1: she liked dance. I knew she liked songs. So I

418
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: created these characters that gave her a way of talking

419
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: to me about her feelings, like a lot of Love,

420
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: the lover u Billy, the Billy Bully Goat, Patty, the

421
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: happy hippo, Wesley the lonely well Slumpy, the sad Elephant.

422
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: So when she would come to me and she says,

423
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm feeling like Wesley, I knew she was lonely, and

424
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: so it gave her the vocabulary. So it's almost like

425
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: the first time I went to France, I couldn't speak

426
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: the language is very difficult, so I gave my daughter

427
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: the language to speak to me, to tell me about

428
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: her feelings. It's those things that we were taught at

429
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: a verb very young age, be nice, beat, all that

430
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, but we left off that feeling part

431
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: and being able to identify how we feel because you

432
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: know as well as I know, all right, nobody to

433
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: let us told us we could express how we feel.

434
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 1: You better sit down and be quiet, and that's where

435
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 1: it was. But now they're finding that social emotional learning

436
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: is and that's called e Q emotional intelligence. It's just

437
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 1: as a horton is i Q, because if you do

438
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: not know how to express how you feel and to

439
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: manage your feelings, it's very difficult to learn well for

440
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: very difficulks associates ever life, every everyday life, being polite, yes,

441
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 1: and things like that. Because of the fact, that's why

442
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: we're just talking about with with with social media, with

443
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: with your whole life tied to your phone, that uh

444
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: that you can really just stay in your room and

445
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: be captivated by what's in your hands and not be

446
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: able to communicate and not be able to community, and

447
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 1: we still have to communicate. We were just in Starbucks downstairs,

448
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: and so my partners were there and they were having

449
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: difficult to communicating to the star Warts barista what they

450
00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: wanted and they were getting frustrated. Behind account, I'm watching

451
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: all this, they were getting frustrated, and um my folks

452
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: were getting frustrated. But they knew to manage their emotions

453
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 1: and they just stepped up and manage their so not

454
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,119
Speaker 1: to frustrate. So no one just had a fit and

455
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 1: Starbucks got no problems. They don't need you going out

456
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: with the feeling frame because we would. We would tell

457
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: them the starbuts should have called the feeling friends and

458
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 1: all that mess was going on. We could come into

459
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: and take some lessons from the feeling friends. My father

460
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: is feeling friends. Love is joyful, Love is peaceful. Love

461
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: is love makes you laugh. Love makes me laugh and

462
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 1: love makes me smile. Love makes me sing and dance

463
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 1: for a while. Love brings me peace down in my soul.

464
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: True love really makes me whole. This is a lot

465
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: of love and she's the foundation of feeling friends. We

466
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: teach that love is the most important feeling. Now, if

467
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: folks in their jobs realized that love was the most

468
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: important feelings and could make their way back to love,

469
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 1: we wouldn't have all these problems that we have today.

470
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: You know, I'm a big musical fan. Yeah, I felt

471
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: I was watching the Oklahom work. I'm serious of love

472
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: makes me smile, Love makes me happy. Here we are.

473
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: You know, I've got no Broadway. What are your broad

474
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: awaking actions? We got the failing friends shown you drop

475
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: a spoon, sugar helps the medicine go down. Yeah, we

476
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: can do it. I can do that. And children, that's

477
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: that's so natural, that's very See. I'm I'm a child

478
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: of the sixties and so musicals like that, Robert Preston

479
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 1: and all those guys excited Homa. You know I grew

480
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: up with that. So so with that being said, how

481
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: does okay you say you putting together these kids? Tell

482
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: us what exactly is contained in that kid? Okay? It's

483
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: it's the most magical kid. Once again, it is the

484
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: teacher's god, because teachers have to know how to use

485
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: it is these twelve puppets like this, this is a

486
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: lot of love. And this is Billy the bullygoat right, young,

487
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 1: He's a bully, but In the story Bull, Billy comes

488
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: to redemption because he realizes that a lot of love

489
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: is around and she takes around. She's not going to change,

490
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: She's not gonna change. And so Billy a lot of

491
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: takes Billy around the island and all the feeling friends

492
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,360
Speaker 1: tell Billy Bully how they feel when he bullies them,

493
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: and Billy comes to redemption. He says, I can't do

494
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: this anymore. Life was that easy. I can't do that anymore.

495
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: But for us, no child wants to be bully bully.

496
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: No child. And so we were very early age. Yes,

497
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: the whole principle of being a bully. You're trying to

498
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: wash it away, wash it away, correct, And so with that,

499
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: and we are washing away because nobody wants to be

500
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: Billy Bully. We have a character I don't have her today,

501
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:36,359
Speaker 1: but she is Winnifred the worthy waalar was Renningfreity. No

502
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: wals isn't that beautiful? And um, Winnifred isn't that beautiful?

503
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: But her parents teacher, that is the ll V that

504
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: lives inside of her. And Winifred was really birthed out

505
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: of me when Whitney Houston died and I heard um,

506
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 1: Kevin Costner say, Whitney used to ask am I beautiful?

507
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: And my smart? You know those kind of things that

508
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: she didn't even have that self worthiness. So Winnifred was

509
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 1: worth out of then she says, the l V that

510
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: lives inside of me makes me worthy. We have so

511
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 1: many children and adults not feeling their worth. And when

512
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: you walk around feeling unworthy, you do not become the

513
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 1: person that you're destined to be. And so once we

514
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: build up your own worthiness and your self esteem, you

515
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 1: can go out there and do what you need to do,

516
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: become the person that you need to be and fulfill

517
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 1: your real life's purpose. So how does one get in

518
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: touch with you? They can cause you motivate me and

519
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you something. You got something, your magical,

520
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: Your personality is perfect for the passion that you're trying

521
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 1: to get to everybody. And I love the fact that

522
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: it's starting with the youth. I would say, uh early,

523
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 1: and hopefully they get it right, you know, because what

524
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: you get in a child's brain at that early nurturing

525
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: that can care to a better human being when you

526
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: become an adult. So how do we get in touch

527

615
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: the a k A Convention here in Houston, thirty five

616
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: thousand a K S. I'm sitting at a restaurant outside

617
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: on the patio. This fifteen year old girl is selling

618
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: these house shoes and then the pink and green house

619
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: shoes right right right, but she had on white house shoes.

620
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: And I called the young lady over and I said, well,

621
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: why don't you Why don't you have the greenhouse shoes

622
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:06,280
Speaker 1: that you're trying to sell. She says, well, these get dirty.

623
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: I said, no, no, no, no, no, put on the

624
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 1: pink and green. And I said, by the way, ask

625
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: the ladies, as they don't buy it, buy them ask

626
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: them for a donation. You'll make way more money just

627
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 1: getting donation. She said, sir, I'm gonna try this for

628
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: ten minutes. Sir. She came back and ten that she

629
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: had made a hundred some dollars just by changing her philosophy. Yeah,

630
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 1: and doing it differently and more effectively. And that's what

631
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: people don't do in business. They like this where this

632
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: is my vision. They don't want to change. There's no

633
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:43,839
Speaker 1: flexibility in the change. One of the things that people

634
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: always tell me to go Richard, and you are the

635
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: king of change. You know you you know you you're writer,

636
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: you was a comedian, you were active you You've done

637
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: modeling work, you produced, you manage talent, you created TV shows.

638
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: I go. I tell them next call multiple screens of

639
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: income and you believe in that model? Two, don't you? Absolutely?

640
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,359
Speaker 1: You know we do the same exact thing. You know,

641
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: we have streams of income and music and movies and

642
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: in education, um, you know, multiple streams of income. Now

643
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: being in Texas Southern, let's talk about your role, uh

644
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: molding young minds education because when I read your book,

645
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:26,360
Speaker 1: education was very important at first. Let me tell everybody,

646
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 1: this man can sing if you read this book or

647
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 1: you find that that I didn't know about you, Matthew.

648
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: You know I don't talk about it. You know, I

649
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:36,959
Speaker 1: didn't know you can carry a note to read your book.

650
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You know you can going

651
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: around there? Where did you get that daddy? Daddy? The daddy.

652
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: That's where the voice came from the kids, the daddy.

653
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: So let's talk about that. Man. You know the fun

654
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 1: thing about this, this is why I wanted to bring up.

655
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: First of all, the audio was bad, and I want

656
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 1: everybody to know that telling your story sometimes it's good

657
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 1: to get your story, y'all. List somebody else like Rashard

658
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: mcdonaland help you tell your story. And the fact that

659
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 1: you could sing, and the fact that you know you

660
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: you came from this small country town and you wanted

661
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: to get out of it, and it shaped who you

662
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 1: are today. And that's what this book is all about,

663
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:13,879
Speaker 1: and and and and and and that's why you wrote

664
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 1: it correct. Yeah, well, that's certainly one of the reasons.

665
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: I learned. One of the things was sewing that if

666
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: you and I at this point in our life, if

667
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: we don't tell our story, somebody else will tell it

668
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 1: and it would be his story. It won't be our story.

669
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 1: So it's important that I tell my story because I

670
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: listen to people. Man, I hear all kinds of people

671
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: managed Beyonce. They put the group together, they were before,

672
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: and I was like, well, I don't remember these people.

673
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it, believe me. You know.

674
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: You know what, Steve, It's a lot of people got

675
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: a lot of things with Steve Harvey that uh that

676
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: I did. You know what I'm saying. So so, but

677
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: they talk, they're taking credit. And that's why I tell

678
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: people today it's called brandy. It's not bragging. It's called

679
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: brandy and taking credit it's called if it's only and

680
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: that makes sure your name is attached where supposed to

681
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,760
Speaker 1: be attached, because that's how you that's how you generate revenue,

682
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 1: and that's how you generate credibility because as soon as

683
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: people say your name, there, google you, and if it's

684
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 1: if it's not matching up, it can cast your relationship

685
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: and cause your money. It calls you money and also

686
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 1: can cause you a deal. And so that's why when

687
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: you said that that is so true. How people, if

688
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 1: you allow them, they would take credit for your hard work.

689
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: So that's all a part of the branding process. And

690
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure that's a big part of your conversation where

691
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: you're talking to students. It is it is. Branding is

692
00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: everything and and and a lot of folks don't understand

693
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: branding or endorsements opportunity. You know, I enjoyed teaching. I

694
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 1: might not be a Texas Southern uh this semester. There's

695
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: a possibility I actually have three offers on the table. Uh.

696
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 1: One one might be in Atlanta. But come on, come on,

697
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm looking I'm looking forward to this upcoming semester. I'm

698
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:07,480
Speaker 1: gonna have to make that decision that's next two to

699
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: three weeks where I'm gonna be. But uh, you know

700
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,920
Speaker 1: I have two hbc us and and uh p w

701
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: A and for those of you don't know, that's a

702
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: private white institution institution p w A. UM. So I'm

703
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: really excited about getting more involved in academia. Writing my

704
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: fourth book. I just you know, finished Racism from the

705
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: Eyes of a Child. Uh. The next one that's the

706
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:38,279
Speaker 1: Emancipation of Slaves through Music, and it talks about on

707
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,279
Speaker 1: that slave ship that uh, how music saved are are

708
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,360
Speaker 1: people and how they used music to escape even from slavery.

709
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: But I'm looking forward to academia and getting more involved.

710
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: Now your resume included corporate life because the Xerox you know,

711
00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:00,279
Speaker 1: so you so you had a natural salesman background, which

712
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: carries over to why how are you able to deliver

713
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: your message? So Ellen can will you now? Because you've

714
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:07,800
Speaker 1: always been able to take a product and then market

715
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,919
Speaker 1: it and then introduce it to somebody and then sell

716
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: it and make it a commodity with Sean. My philosophy

717
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: is selling is people first by me? Why did they

718
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 1: buy my product? Say that again, Matthew, that's a church moment.

719
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: That's a church moment right there. That's a church moment.

720
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 1: People first buy me, then they buy my product because

721
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: if I don't, if I don't sell you on me,

722
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: it don't matter what my products. That's really and to

723
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: know something and that's what I've been doing. I sell

724
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: people on my relationship. I sell people on my name.

725
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: I sell people on the fact that that if I

726
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,840
Speaker 1: say something that I'm gonna do it, I do it.

727
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: So they've learned to trust your brand and your situation.

728
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: You're saying, before the word brand was coming and so popular,

729
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: that use your name was your brand, and so people

730
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 1: trust your name and trust what you said you're gonna do.

731
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: That's how you were winning and that's all that's the

858
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 1: that that was a good sign. Because I was talking

859
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: to Samantha, one of my producers. I said, am I

860

861
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:28,959
Speaker 1: This is what I did. This is what I did,

862
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: so you know the seafood, right. So so first I

863
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: went to the store to see and I thought about

864
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:43,399
Speaker 1: frying me up to shrimps. Right. That was work? Yeah,

865
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: because this I did was't gonna go too good. I

866
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 1: mean that I don't fry much. So I went to

867
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: Papa Does. I went to Papa Does, and Papa Does

868
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: I loved their shrimp pole bar, they have a shrimp

869
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: pole bar and Papa does and every time they're going there,

870
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 1: I tell them to lay on the tatter sauce. Well,

871
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 1: guess what I hold of taller sauce this time, baby,

872
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,359
Speaker 1: because I brought my pull my little jar out. Dude

873
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 1: looking way to look at me like I was crazy. Hey,

874
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. But I got my own taller sauce.

875
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 1: Did I ordered me some cocktails, some shrimp cocktails. I said,

876
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 1: hold of dipping sauce. Pulled up my other little jaw.

877
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 1: So I'm sitting there. I'm sitting there at the table,

878
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:29,320
Speaker 1: waiting and ready to go. Girl, I had a great time.

879
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:34,799
Speaker 1: Your sauces are tremendous. I'm telling everybody firsthand. I went

880
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: in there. I just slapped that tatle sauce in there

881
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 1: with my I always asked for tomatoes. I would say,

882
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: I want tomatoes with my Just be real with you,

883
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: that's how I eat. You have a great product. Tell

884
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 1: us how you got started from your you know, just

885
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 1: two breaks here, So I want you to take your

886
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 1: time because you're on inspiration. Walter Nash hooked us up

887
00:48:57,800 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: because he said, you gotta talk to her because the

888
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,280
Speaker 1: story needs to be told to everybody in the world.

889
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 1: And this is just the first step. You should do

890
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: more interviews, tell us about your products. Okay, So I

891
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: got started. Originally I was making the sauce in my

892
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 1: kitchen because I'm a seafood eater, so I didn't like

893
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,520
Speaker 1: to dip it in vinegar or butter. So I concocted

894
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: some things that were in the refrigerator and it became

895
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: a hit with family and friends. So your refrigerator and

896
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: started making up that was it. Yeah, I went in,

897
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 1: went up exactly and it turned out to be a

898
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: blessing from God because then my friends and family they

899
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: loved it, and they kept coming back for it when

900
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: they went to different events where they were having a company.

901
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: And so from there I heard the spirit of Lord say, well,

902
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: didn't sell it, and I was like duh, because I

903
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: didn't have any intent for it to become a company.

904
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: It was just it was pleasing to me as well

905
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: as my friends. Again, and from there I begetting petition

906
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: and gantry stores, and obviously I did it wrong initially,

907
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: Um kind of you went from in your kitchen messing

908
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: around your refrigerator, now you're in grocery store like that's

909
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:16,240
Speaker 1: a step between that now, because you know, because the

910
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: getting your product, did you start selling it affairs and

911
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: local places? You do? How did you did you get

912
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: the part that you you could sell this and make

913
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 1: money off of it? When did that come into your

914
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: head in sales? Yes, sir, the initial sale from family

915
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 1: and friends coming through here with kitchen and there tupperware dishes.

916
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: So I would start selling five alls to them like that.

917
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: So then I went around to the seafood market and

918
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 1: with my tupperware dish was wrong because you know you've

919
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: got to be FDA proved and all this kind of

920
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: stuff market act you really you're going around a tuplewere

921
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 1: dish trying to get somebody to sale all the truth here,

922
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 1: all true tupaware dish. So I went through this one

923
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:03,719
Speaker 1: central Avenue and I and which and I Him and

924
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: I knew each other because I frequent them for his craft.

925
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: He said, pactivity, if you get there in the right

926
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: kind of jar, then I'll sell it for you because

927
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 1: it is good. So from there I researched. You have

928
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: to mask craft, that's extremely important. I researched on how

929
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: to bottle, how to label, and I would go in

930
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:27,120
Speaker 1: grocery stores, and I would look at them, the labels,

931
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,120
Speaker 1: and see, well, where's the distributor, where's the manufactor, just

932
00:51:30,200 --> 00:51:33,319
Speaker 1: to get some sort of idea, because I honestly had

933
00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 1: no knowledge of it. And and from there I petitioned Johnny.

934
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 1: I got some jars, and I got the wrong kind

935
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,560
Speaker 1: of jars. Again, I did it wrong. I sent the

936
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 1: product the Giant, and Giant said, man, we're not eating this.

937
00:51:45,719 --> 00:51:49,600
Speaker 1: This isn't great. We're not No, this isn't right. And

938
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 1: then here comes Walter Nation and the rest is her story. Yep,

939
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 1: and I got in. Um. So I was local for

940
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: a long time. Um for about eight years of real

941
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: nine years, I was local, and we just got um,

942
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: we just got national attention. So oh Lord, thank you God.

943
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:18,239
Speaker 1: So yeah, now now, no, not tifferently. First of all,

944
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: we stopped walking around, okay, because we're going in and out.

945
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: You know, I need you to stay stationed there, so

946
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: we just stay clear. Now, you bought the wrong jars,

947
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,320
Speaker 1: you had the wrong label, did you? Were you working

948
00:52:31,320 --> 00:52:33,680
Speaker 1: with the local SPA? Who are you working with? I

949
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: was just I was just curious because it's called money

950
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: making conversations. And I tried to own this show let

951
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: people hear how success stories are being built. And I

952
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: am so. So you were just out there googling. You're

953
00:52:47,800 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: out there going in grocery stores reading labels, so you

954
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: was at them. So so you just just doing this

955
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 1: on your own, Yes, sir, Yes, sir M researching and

956
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: I really only had to master the craft as far

957
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 1: as so when I went in the grocery store, I

958
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 1: will look at a certain label and one thing will

959
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:09,440
Speaker 1: lead you to another. So I looked at the label

960
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,720
Speaker 1: and it said it was distributed let's say in Philadelphia.

961
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,359
Speaker 1: So I called that company and that company gave you

962
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: more information to get you to to another company. It

963
00:53:18,800 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 1: was really ourself. It was self taught. You blessed. Thank you,

964
00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,279
Speaker 1: thank you, Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you yes,

965
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,959
Speaker 1: because you know you God blesses the people who work hard.

966
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: M hm. And you're willing to work hard, and I

967
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,560
Speaker 1: think that's really important. Now are you are you able

968
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: to tell us what what type of sales that you

969
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 1: are able to do annually? Um? Sure, well, we're projecting

970
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: by the end of this year that we've we've Um. Well,

971
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Because to God be the glory, for

972
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:52,960
Speaker 1: all things will be at one point seven at the

973
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: end of this year, and then by the end of

974
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:58,840
Speaker 1: two thousand nineteen will be at four point eight. Okay,

975
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: now that's that's almost ripple because it's a lot of

976
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:08,040
Speaker 1: people out there eating tall the sauce. They're doing the

983
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:32,560

00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 1: in the grocery store, is so many brands sitting on

985
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: that shelf. How do you cut through and somebody stops

Speaker 1: what I do you say? How do I promote the product?

991
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: You know, I'm never greater than the consumer. I still

992
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: go out and I do demos and grocery stores, and

993

Speaker 1: one way I do it. But obviously through being blessed

996
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,399
Speaker 1: that you allowed me on your show, that's another way

997
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,080
Speaker 1: that I do it. Um, I stayed giving off circulars
