20
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: making Conversations. Miss Diana Williams. Good morning Diana. What city

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: are you in, my friends, what city are you in? Well,

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: I'm in Jackson, Mississippi. Today the Dancing Dolls of Jackson

23
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: start their audition process, an intake for new members. So

24
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: I am here with them all week long. Now, what

25
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: is the explained that process to me? Right here? Because

26
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: of the fact that last time we're gonna show people,

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: should you really get in detail about how how my

28
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: kids can get involved? And I want to make sure

29
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: that I don't miss that. So you you open the door,

30
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: explain the process because you're not only in Jackson, but

31
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: you're also in Birmingham, and you also have studios in Atlanta, Georgia. Correct, correct, Okay,

32
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: but right now you're doing intake for Jackson, Mississippi studio.

33
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: Talk to us about that. Well, for the dancings, all

34
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: the dancing dogs are separate of the Dollhouse Dance Factory.

35
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: The dancing dogs just practiced inside of the Dollhouse Dance Factory.

36
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: There's a huge misconception there about how the company runs

37
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: our studio is etcetera. Etcetera. So when members of the

38
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: audition wasn't for the Dancing Dolls competition dance team, I

39
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 1: always suggest that they start off taking class somewhere that

40
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: teaches major rette in hip hop because those types of

41
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: backgrounds are what you will need in order to be

42
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: successful on the team. Although it is not required, it

43
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: is definitely suggested because while she takes those class that

44
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: makes it so much easier for you to make the team.

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: Getting training before actually trying to get the job, it's

46
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: what you want to try to do. So that's exactly

47
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: what I express to everyone. But even though some people

48
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: don't don't take the training process prior to and they

49
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: just show up for the audition protests, we do the

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: best that we can to train them prior to the

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: actual audition itself. The dance will come in and all

52
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: ages five to eight teams. They're all different sides from

53
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: all different backgrounds. You know, we don't excreminat We want everybody.

54
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: You want, anybody that wants to dance, has an idea

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: of what it is the takes to do, what it

56
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: is that we do. We want them to come. We

57
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: want to have them there, so having them around is

58
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: definitely fun. Some kids make it and some kids don't,

59
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: but it's always a fun process, especially seeing the kids

60
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: grow throughout the course of the week and putting their

61
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: best foot forward. Now, what makes you unique? Because there's

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people out there, you know, I'm always

63
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: hunting for the next though, I'm always looking hunting for

64
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: the Miss Diana Williams so I can create me a

65
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: hit reality show. What makes you special, Miss Williams? Well,

66
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: everything about me makes me special, very different creating. It's

67
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: not stop stop stop stop you too much stop stop

68
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: right there, right there everywhere, but no, seriously, like, what

69
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: about me? I'm just different from most people that you

70
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: would that. You know, people give up a lot of

71
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: time to do what it is that they do, and

72
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: I am definitely one of those people. But what makes

73
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: me different, I think, is the fact that I give selflessness, selfless, selfless, selflessly,

74
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: I should say, without even looking back, I have done

75
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: a lot of things for kids that probably wouldn't even

76
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: though they're'm even doing the things that I'm doing for

77
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: them in the background. You know, some parents don't even

78
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: know that I cover fees for them even when they

79
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: don't have the money to pay it. And then I

80
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: know that something's going on with them, I take care

81
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: of it. I'm always reaching out to other kids to

82
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 1: try to see what they're doing wrong as far as

83
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: school because ofcerned to try to assist them on that level.

84
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: Like I'm not just a typical coach that sits in

85
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: coaching students team in the studio. I'm all in their business.

86
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: I want to know what they're doing, where they're going,

87
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: who they're talking to. I want to know about your grades.

88
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: Don't want to go at you doing your chores at

89
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: home like you doing them on your third And I

90
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: want to know it all because I can figure out

91
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: how to make you the best topicable with you possible.

92
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: And that's what the ultimate goal. Let me ask you this, so,

93
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: so do you do do? Do you have? Like scholarships?

94
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: There are individual purchase scholarships that could be donated to

95
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: a student who can't afford to ten Your studios or

96
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: hot does they work? Are creating a problem for you

97
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: because they gotta have the talent to attend Rashaan, They

98
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: gotta make the cut. So just being able. The dancings

99
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: As is a community based organization. We're not a finance

100
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: We're not a federally fund organization. It's funded finance from

101
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: my pockets mostly. You know, the parents do pay money

102
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: for uniforms, but all the parents don't always pay like

103
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: their those too who are do what they need to do,

104
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: so then the financial responsibility falls on me. And it's

105
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: been like that for the last eighteen years, you know.

106
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: So Unfortunately, we can't offer scholarships because the money for

107
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: the scholarship becomes to me and I have my own

108
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: child that I have to focus on and worry about.

109
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: But if there are people out there that would love

110
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: to donate money to the kids, I would love to

111
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: have that money to be placed on their account so

112
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: that if they are running behind on fees, or if

113
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: there's parents that need extra money for travel or what

114
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 1: have you. Absolutely we would take donations all day long. Okay, cool,

115
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a donation from Rushan McDonald. We appreciate

116
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,559
Speaker 1: that we have several kids, especially in the Atlanta area.

117
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: I know for a fact, I have a parent, a

118
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: parent up two. I will not name her name. Um

119
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: I covered her fees for her kids for the full

120
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: year just so they were able to come. But then

121
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: her car broke down and she wasn't able to even

122
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: get them there. So it was like one thing happening

123
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: after after another. Is I know she would definitely be

124

134
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: that I wanted to bring back on the show, because

135
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: of the fact that you know, the show edits you

136
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,919
Speaker 1: know energy, they edit, they don't they don't allow the

137
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,599
Speaker 1: story to be told, a big story to be told.

138
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: And when he was on the show, I was like, really,

139
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: at all of the shark conversation, I went there so

140
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: much more we should be talking about. And I told

141
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: you that when you was in the studio, go, I

142
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 1: gotta bring you back because you come back on my

143
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,520

144
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: especially like I'm from Chicago from a standpoint, I worked

145
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: there like five years and dance clubs and dancing is

146
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: really big in Chicago, and I know how impactful that

147
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: is in the Chicago community. And the fact that you

148
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: now have studios in Jackson, Mississippi, and Birmingham, Alabama, in Atlanta, Georgia.

149
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: What is the what is the tim Is there a

150
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: limit to what you're gonna do or talk about the

151
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: reason why you're expanding like that like this there one

152
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: of the biggest reasons why the expansion the chances theories

153
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: because being able to have an outreach program that reaches

154
00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: out or literally outward house side of the state, and

155
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: it's something that's important to make sure that you can

156
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: reach as many people in boxing out a platform that

157
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm home with the TV show has given me the

158
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: opportunity to leave so many people and to be around

159
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: so many people, and the fact that my studio was

160
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: just in one stationary way. Everybody couldn't get understood that.

161
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: But I have the opportunity and the means to be

162
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: able to give to them. So it just made sense

163
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: for me to say, you know what, Diana, why not

164
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: just open up the studio or location in their areas

165
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: and go to them. Now, everybody can't always go where

166
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: you need them to go. Everybody can't always be where

167
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: you need them to be. Everybody can always do what

168
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: you actually can do. So it's important that celebrities that

169
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: they have an opportunity to use a platform that I

170
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: gave them in the first place, that you use it.

171
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: And that's exact what I've been trying to do. Let's

172
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: go back, you know, uh, your book. You know, we

173
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: talked about it last time. Your relationship with your mom

174
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: was was it's not the perfect relationship? What did you

175
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: learn about the relations you with your mom? And you've

176
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 1: been because I feel like you're a giant mom now,

177
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: you're a mom doer these kids you because you're so

178
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: all the things that you talk about a mom will

179
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: do for their child. And so I feel that you

180
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: know now your mom and Jacksie, that's where you started

181
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: now your mom in Birmingham, not your mom in Atlanta.

182
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: And so that's that's a lot of emotional bandwidth that

183
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 1: you're putting out there. How do you how do you

184
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: how do you how do you hold yourself together? I'm normal, like,

185
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: can you want to else? So I cry? You know,

186
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: I try to not stress about it, even though that's

187
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: hard because you're dealing with so many personalities. When you're

188
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: dealing with girls. That would always says women are emotional preachers,

189
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: so when you're dealing with girls, there's different attitudes and

190
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: all that there. I try my best to literally place

191
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: myself in their shoes and understand every situation. But I've

192
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: learned to not take it home. I used to take

193
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: home so much of the stress on these kids, but

194
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,960
Speaker 1: I did fleet over time. I wouldn't eat that I

195
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: was so much stress and over when them. I even

196
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: lost weight because of some of the stress dealing with

197
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: a lot of what it is that I do. But

198
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: because I know that this is the purpose that God

199
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: gave me, that I know that having this weight on you,

200
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: it's the reason why you're able to be so successful. Go,

201
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: I is not gonna ever give you more than you

202
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: can be at people saying all the time, but I

203
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 1: am a walking, talking testament because that I have watched

204
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: kids that have been for affusive halls, broken homes, parents

205
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: walk out on their abandoned kids, kids that our foster kids.

206
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: We have had a lot of kids come through our programs,

207
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: and I literally take it all in. I'd have I'd

208
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: have foster present so I understand what it's like. I

209
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: understand what it's like to love your mom and your

210
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: mom not always love you back, but then in the end,

211
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: like my mom and I now we have a great relationship. Now.

212
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, with everything that I've gone

213
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: and having to deal with so much of what I

214
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: dealt with, I think that it created more of a

215
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: fund with us. Because she didn't know. Now she she

216
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: got my books, I didn't want her to eat it.

217
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. I did not want my long

218
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,719
Speaker 1: to read my book. Of a lot of stuff that

219
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: it's in the book, I never told her. I kept

220
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: it to myself. As most kids, you know, we we

221
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: bottled things up as adults and even as children, we

222
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: bottled things up and we keep it to ourselves. And

223
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 1: I did that for a long time. That book set

224
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: me free. It set me free. I was able to

225
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: talk about things that I hadn't ever spoke out loud

226
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: about before, and it was a necessary evil. I needed

227
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: to do that. But my mom and no, now we're good.

228
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: You know we're in a good place. Now we crap

229
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: dogs it se texts you go and emopreversy. Speaking of emoji,

230
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: she downloaded might emoji app and she keeps sitting the

231
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: same one. I'm like, why do you keep seeing that one?

232
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,599
Speaker 1: Sulf because it looks like me and I could do that.

233
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, kids, right, tell us about this emoji app?

234
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 1: I did this kiss thought well, Uh, my publicist eric

235
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: I brought to me um an idea to do emojis

236
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: because my personality is so vibrant, and why wouldn't people

237
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: want to have text messing in conversation, utilizing gifts that

238
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: look like being talk like me and act like you know,

239
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: we have women are fights to create yourself. We have

240
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: some fights to them because we have these conversations where

241
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: we snap our things and roll our next so we

242
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: go through the whole, the whole motion, and it just

243
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 1: makes sense to have an emoji that the fimilize all

244
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 1: those things. You can have a whole conversation with my

245
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: emojis without even texting one word. That's just how good

246
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: they are. That's fun. That sounds it sounds like you.

Speaker 1: it was all about you know, coming and improving myself.

312
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: And the one thing I wanted to you know, kind

Speaker 1: of shed right away was, um, you know, I kind

314
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: of wanted people to to grab people's attention and kind

315
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: of make them ask them stuff selves, who's that dude? So? Um,

316
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: some people think it's kind of more one of those

317
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: things where I'm being a little bit confident and and

318
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: it's like a rhetorical question, but um, it was intended

319
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: to be like a genuine question of making a statement

320
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: and having people don't wonder who's that dude? Right right?

321
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: Right right? So when you say, are you bothered by that?

322
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: When people say that the word cocky or overconfident or

323
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: you know, I see your photos, you do you you

324
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: have a model style about you, which I like, you know,

325
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 1: so does that bother you? Know? You pose and you

326
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: know you're you're making that hit you know what I'm

327
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: saying on the streets? Are you what's your future in

328
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: that area? No, No, it doesn't, It doesn't bother me

329
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: too much. Um, Like you understand a lot of people

330
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: are going to have a different perspective or different understanding

331
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: of different things. So, um, you know, when they when

332
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: they tend to ask me the question or um, you know,

333
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: I tend to kind of let them know or if

334
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: they're trying to suggest, um that you know, maybe I

335
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: might be meaning in that way. I just kind of

336
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: explaining it. And And it's not it's not attended to do

337
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: that way at all. I don't get assentified at all. Awesome, Well,

338
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: it's great, we're gonna talk about your business. But it's

339
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 1: that time of the year. We just finished the NFL Combine,

340
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: which I think is blowing up, you know, and see

341
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: all the celebrities that are tweeting various athletes who are

342
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: running forties and lifting weights and doing shuttle drills. Were

343
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: you able to participate in the NFL Combine when you

344
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: came out, No, I got invited. Um at the time,

345
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: I was recovering from a shoulder in handsover I hain't

346
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: got in December. Um, so me, I had the privilege

347
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: of attending the combine, but unfortunately I wasn't able to

348
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: actually participate in any of the drills. Just I was

349
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 1: able to you know, visually experience that as well as

350
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: just the interaction with the coaches in the play. You

351
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 1: got to walk around your underwear, get the measurements and

352
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: talk to the coaches. That's what you got to do that.

353
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: It's so so that's part of the process. Now. I

354
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 1: reasonally I wanted to talk about your your your NFL

355
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: experience a little bit because you were undrafted free agent,

356
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: which you mean you come into camp with no guarantees

357
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: at least if you get drafted. As a general feeling,

358
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: they want to keep their draft picks. When you come

359
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 1: in as an undrafted free agent, what was running through you?

360
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: First of all, when the draft draft you went through

361
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: the process of sitting through all these rounds of draft.

362
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 1: Did you make a big deal that you have a

363
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: draft party or you just wasn't you say hey, I

364
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: don't know why I'm GONNAT drafted and just lay low

365
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,719
Speaker 1: and find out what happens. How did you approach your

366
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 1: draft date? Um? For me, it was actually had a

367
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,159
Speaker 1: little family gathering, um, you know. For for me, it

368
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: was it was kind of one of those things where

369
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: I was expected to be taken, um, you know, in

370
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: the second to third round. UM. But for me, a

371
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: guy coming out UM never really experienced it. UM. I've

372
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: always kind of you know, took the you know, um,

373
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: the little low subtle route. UM. So I had a

374
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: few people didn't really make too much of a bill

375
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: big deal about it. You know. Growing up as a leader,

376
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: I had to watch the NFL draft and UM, you know,

377
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: you hear about the different mark drafts and and where

378
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: different players supposed to go, and it never quite works

379
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: out like that. So UM, for me, I had kind

380
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: of prepared myself for you know, the unexpected UM, which

381
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: was anything could happened. So we had a few people

382
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: over um ended up going undrafted. UM. But before the

383
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: draft was over, UM, you know, in the last surroundings,

384
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: so UM, I had a number of teams call up

385
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: UM and and at the time they either said that

386
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: they they were out of pick for the for the

387
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 1: draft that year, or either um, you know, they were

388
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: going to go in another direction with another position with

389
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: the last pick. UM, but they you know, expressed that

390
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: they had interest of UM trying to sign me to

391
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: the roster UM for gold in the camp. So UM.

392
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: At that point I was, I was, I felt pretty

393
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: good about getting the opportunity, and for me, it was

394
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: just about if I can get an opportunity that, um,

395
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: I'll be able to show improved that you know, I

396
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: belong in the NFL. So that pretty much happened for

397
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: me going to the camp. My mindset was pretty much

398
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 1: that you know, whatever team I went to, that they

399
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: were getting steal um whether they knew it or not,

400
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: um especial matter. But yeah, yeah I didn't really it

401
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: didn't really matter whether they knew it um or not.

402
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: If they that they would was getting to steal um

403
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: with the undrafted player. But um, that was kind of

404
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: my attitude going in was I'm gonna go in nobody's

405
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: going to really expect anything of me. Um, But once

406
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: I get healthy, UM, people are gonna, you know, they're

407
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to take notice, um, just on my

408
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: level of play and just going out there and showing

409
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: what I can do on the steal and it has

410
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: been the case. And they also say just not to

411
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 1: my viewers and my listeners and said when you get

412
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: late in the draft like that, it's actually better to

413
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: be undrafted because you can actually negotiate a better deal

414
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: for yourself and you also can control the team you

415
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: want to go to. Is that not true? Yeah? Yeah,

416
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: you know, UM, part of the business side that you

417
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: know that they particularly say, you know, the first the

418
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: first three rounds are are guys who they really really want,

419
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: UM and and really expect to, you know, make that

420
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: final roster. UM. But you know, the NFL, it's it's

421
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 1: a very competitive work environment, very competitive businesses. UM. The

422
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: people who come in and get drafted and UM. You know,

423
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: once the season start, there no longer with the team UM,

424
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 1: just because of the number of spots and just how

425
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: competitive it is. UM. But you know, the later rounds UM,

426
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: those guys they go in and get opportunity. But at

427
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: the same time, you know, being able to go in

428
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: as a free agent UM, it does kind of the

429
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: one advantages kind of controlling what situation you go into.

430
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: But you know, at that point, you know, if you're

431
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: you're follow in the free agency UM category, then you're

432
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: pretty much got to compete wherever you go. Anyway, Yeah,

433
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: the last two years, I'm a big football fan. So

434
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: you know, when you talk about a talent like you,

435
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: it's all about transit. What do you do when you're

436
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: not hitting somebody? What you do when you're not playing football?

437
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: And I'm assuming that what you're doing opening this Whold

438
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: Therapy facility and rich Virginia, Richmond, Virginia is part of

439
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: that transition and small business that you're trying to create

440
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: for yourself. Correct. Yeah, Yeah, it's about you know, creating

441
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: that opportunity to creating that platform, um, you know, for

442
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: you to be successful. And that's that's successful on the field, UM,

443
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: you have to you know, translate that to off the

444
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: field as well. So um, in season and offseason, that

445
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: stuff translates to from diet down to recovery as well.

446
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: You know, going into tough workouts and being able to

447
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: you know, finish up your day and get your body

448
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: ready to go the next day. That's just as important.

449
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: So for me, um, you know, I decided to you know,

450
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: I used to cry out therapy business, um, and then

451
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: once you know, using that to help improve my recovery,

452
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: I decided to join it. Um as far as business

453
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 1: wise and expanding there. Okay, let's let's break that down

454
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: a little. That just generally, uh, it's crowd therapy sometimes

455
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: knowing this cold therapy, it's a local general use of

456
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 1: low temperatures in medical therapy. It's used to treat various

457
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 1: type of tissue issues. Now I'm a regular guy, you know,

458
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: would I would I engage myself in this type of

459
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,240

577
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm not a Bobby Brown cook, but I can cook Okay,

578
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: I don't have my season and I don't have my

579
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: sous Bobby bait, but I can cook. At least I

580
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 1: don't have that either. You know what I'm saying. My

581

Speaker 1: wife thinks she my wife thinks she can cook better

582
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: than me. But that's another story. Now. The rest in

583
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: our house actually Bobby, Bobby definitely hands down can cook. Um,

584
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: you know, I got some a few traits up up

585
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: your sleep now. I'll tell you that this brand, this

586
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: brand was developed off of Bobby's homemade sauces and and

587
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: his you know seasonings how he combines them, and his

588
00:30:55,880 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: perfectly perfectly fried chicken. And so, you know, just with

589
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: his creation and my business mind, we thought, you know,

590
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: we gotta bottle this up and sell it. We know.

591
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: What I loved about was the Bobby brown bag. Yeah,

592
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: brown bagging it is what we call it. And it's

593
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: just like a new school shaking bag. It's like, yeah,

594
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: you know right. So the crazy thing is watching Bobby

595
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: fly some chicken is pretty masterful. He uh just puts

596
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: the right amount of mixture with the seasoning. And I'm

597
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: telling you he he says, one of his uh, one

598
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: of his tricks is you know, making sure that oil

599
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 1: is exactly the right temperature. But when that chicken it

600
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 1: comes out rashwan, it is so light, crispy, the right crunch,

601
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 1: right seasoning, and I mean never greasy. So I thought,

602
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: you know what, for someone like me who does not

603
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: really know how to fry many things, I just you know,

604
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't do a lot of flying um. I wanted

605
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: to learn and I remembered back in the day the

606
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: shaking bake and how was that created? So that's how

607
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: the brown bag, and it came about how to show

608
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: someone like myself and many others how to fry um

609
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: your foods really light and easy. And it's it all

610
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: comes together. It's the bag. You can drop your your

611
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: meat or your choice of fish or whatever, and you

612
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 1: put the seasonings in there that's already comes in the packet.

613
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: You shake it up and drop it. It's as easy

614
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: as that. I'm gonna tell you something. When I saw

615
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: that on the website, I go, this is brilliant, you know,

616
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you because if you go to the

617
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: website and you see the recipes heads on that, I

618
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: kept going, Okay, what else, because that's what because that's

619
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: what really hurts people in cooking, you know, and we're

620
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: the society of now where people are you know, they're

621
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: there there. They do it yourself first. And so so

622
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: when I saw the chicken recipe, just throw the chicken

623
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: in there and I can say when the chicken floats

624
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: to the top, it's done. Most people don't even know that, right,

625
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: I've read the website. Now your part was doing this research.

626
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: Go ahead. I didn't know that when to the top

627
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: it's done. So Bobby, you do that, you have to

628
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: let it float. When it floats, and you know it's

629
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 1: cooked all the way through that. Um, it's not gonna

630
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: be greasy because the grease is gonna be out of

631
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: the chicken by time do you put it in your mouth? Wow? Wow, Wow.

632
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: Here's here's a quote on the website that I love.

Speaker 1: we're super excited about that. We have some UM and

643
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: we're just finalizing bottling some of our marinades and dressings

644
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 1: which were super excited about. We have a three and

645
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 1: one sauce that you can use as either a marinade,

646
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 1: a dressing or a dipping sauce. And you know, we're

647
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: just just geared up and we can't wait until you know,

648
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: we are just stocked all the shelves with everything that

649
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: you know, our family likes to eat. We we really

650
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: are conscious about putting things in our body that are

651
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: healthy obviously for our children and ourselves and UM and

652
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,959
Speaker 1: still have a lot of great flavor. You know, that's

653
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: the thing that we're trying to blend together. So well,

654
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: that's important too because the fact that this is a

655
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 1: brand and the reason I really like and I always

656
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: talk about the power couple because it allows us to

657
00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: understand that there is you win, you win both ways.

658
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta have the white point of view

659
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 1: and the and the husband point of view, the male

660
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: point of view or the female point of view. And

661
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: it has to be a partnership because you can't win

662
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: with someone side feeling that this is should be done

663
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: and other side, I said, this is I wanted to

664
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: be done. You have to win with a joint thought.

665
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: That's why when I talked about the brown and baggett,

666
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: you know, both of them were excited about it. Both

667
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, that's that's the way to go. That's

668
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: yeah about it. Our kids love it too. You got to,

669
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: you got to, you know, because of the fact that

670
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: when when that was the recipe the ship the shrimp,

671
00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 1: oh shrimp all about? Tell me about that, Bobby, Come on,

672
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: tell me about that is something that I came up

673
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: with that, um, because I don't like I don't like

674
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: my kids eating too much fried foods. So I came

675
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: up with shrimp Allo, Bobby, which is which is basically,

676
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: uh was like stage shrimp. It's like, um, it's like

677
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: a shrimp scamp. It's like a shrimp scamp, but with

678
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: peppers and different ingredients. We get the vegetables in there

679
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: with his peppers, colorful peppers. And of course kids love rice.

680
00:36:01,880 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're all they're always very picky about what

681
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: their soft looks like, so he makes an amazing soft

682
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: Let's let's switch gears to go to the entertainment here,

683
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,799
Speaker 1: Bobby Brown, why do people love you? Man? Why they

00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: see the thing about it is that we've had an

686
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: interesting life. You know, when I was managing Steve, we've

687
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 1: always crossed whether it's an interview or being on stage

688
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:28,600
Speaker 1: or acting. I remember we did the movie together with

689
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: Beyonce that he was acting and that, and I always say,

690
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: this guy can really really act. Your your comedic actor,

691
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: but also a serious actor. Any aspirations to really take that,

692
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 1: you know, go down that lane and acting there other

693
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:47,000

00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: we had this forward car, this brand new car in

708
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 1: front of the stage. You know I'm talking about. Bobby

709
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 1: Brown was on that car board for them. The executive

710
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 1: is he going, then let's speak quiet. Bobby Brown slid

711
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: on that car. Boy there, nobody I've been doing this

712
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: show fourteens. Nobody ever still on the call, slid on

713
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 1: the car, touched the car until Bobby Brown came along.

714
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: Said it was OUs of people, was always sold out.

715
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 1: There's sixteen thousand people at the Engine brand and knew it.

716
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 1: Just you came out there and Bobby Brown did his day.

719
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: didn't try laugh and I didn't do it. That's the

720
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,360
Speaker 1: key right there. He didn't did it. But that's the

721
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: part about it, because you know, you are like uh,

722

728
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: Stevie Wonder. You know, Um, I really tried and I

Speaker 1: really studied everybody, you know, in order to in order

730
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 1: to become who I wanted to be, and I wanted

731
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: to be all of them, So I tried to put

732
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: all of them into what I do when I perform.

733
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,800

741
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,239

816
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 1: I do with money making conversation. I developed this show

817
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: so I can let people know that they can win.

818
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: A lot of people have a lot of obstacles. I

819
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:59,720
Speaker 1: call them stop signs. They hold them up. That stop

820
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: side is on display. When they wake up in the morning,

821
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 1: looking at the mirror, they see no confidence. They'll see

822
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: any opportunities to be successful. All they do is complain.

823
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: They complain when they're getting the car, they complain when

824
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: they look at the clear kids. They complain with what

825
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 1: they eat, they complain with what they drive, they complain

826
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: about the traffic. With all those complaints, finally they arrive

827
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: at work. Do you really want to be working with

828
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:24,800
Speaker 1: that person? No? I didn't. That's why I left and

829
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:28,279
Speaker 1: decide of the bet on Rashan McDonald. I bet on

830
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: Rashan McDonald every time I wake up every morning, because

831
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:32,880

832
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: a door. I'm what they call a guy who um

833
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: is a visionary. I've heard that throw them away a

834
00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 1: couple of times. I would take it because guess what

835
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: it is applied to a bigger check. I'm taking all

836
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: special type visionary, influencer, UH, producer, award winner, uh brand master,

837
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: brand king. I'm taking all those titles if they tied

838
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: the checks. Understand that I turned anything down. What what

839
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 1: isn't tied to big checks is worth? Like loser, winer, complainer,

840
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: you know, finger porner that's not tied to big checks.

871
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,760
Speaker 1: I didn't necessarily chose it. And I had a passion

872
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: for doing something that was behind the camera and low

873
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: in the hole, that had this idea and just the

874
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: right place at the right time. I met a producer

875
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,640

876
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,000

877
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: bought a completely different concept or a different idea that

878
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: I had, and during that conversation he started to talk

879
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: to me about different things they were working on and

880
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:15,560

905
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,359

Speaker 1: type of dreams. So that's my short, long version of time.

918
00:49:07,600 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: So that's a very honest version because I know that

919
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 1: when you get a franchise this big is associated with

920
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: a lot of successful franchises. Now that you're coming out

921
00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,760
Speaker 1: of the coming out of the coming from the background,

922
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:22,840
Speaker 1: do people question your role in and do people question

923
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:28,760
Speaker 1: your level participation? Listen, I will say this. I started

924
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: to say this, um, and I started before I really

925
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: even realized it was a thing that people were saying.

926
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: But I say, you know, you got to write your

927
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: own story or else someone else will write it for you.

928
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:44,000
Speaker 1: Control your narrative exactly. That was what was starting to happen. Um.

929
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: Of course, people in the city. I had a big

930
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: premiere party season one at the W Hotel. It was

931
00:49:49,239 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 1: an epic party, about eight hundred people, all the chat media.

932
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: It was really crazy. And so clearly back in two

933
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,480
Speaker 1: thousand and seven, when I stepped up and thanked everybody

934
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: for you know, helping me to just to see my

935
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 1: dream come too light and my baby and all this stuff.

936
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,359
Speaker 1: Right after that, about two years after that, I kind

937
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 1: of stepped back. And what happened was, I really, for me,

938
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: it was overwhelming the media, people knowing you, the criticism,

939
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:18,960
Speaker 1: and I just personally did not sign up for that part.

940
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: So I really took a big step back and focused

941
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 1: on other projects and just cut myself quiet um. And

942
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:28,759
Speaker 1: so really what happened was people just started assuming and

943
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 1: as television started to grow, people still don't understand how

944
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: television is made and sold. And a lot of times,

945
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 1: you know, you get on the show and I worked

946
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 1: on the show. By the way I worked on season

947
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: wanted to very very I mean without working on it,

948
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: there really I don't there couldn't have been a show

949
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,479
Speaker 1: because I told all stories um with the producers of course,

950
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: but I initiated what those stories were prior to the

951
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 1: show even selling. So I say all that to say

952
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: I really did um and shy away from all of

953
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 1: that and stayed away. And the longer I stay the

954
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,800
Speaker 1: way listen, people started to just assume things like you know,

955
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: some of the producers who were working on the show

956
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: created it, or even for lack of better understanding, men

957
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: created the show. We're supposed to lean had a huge

958
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:15,439
Speaker 1: part in bringing her talents and her gifts and other

959
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,879
Speaker 1: women to the show. However, there was this one young

960
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 1: woman who just kind of stepped up and did it

961
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 1: with the help of others. Of course, um, you know

962
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: in the network saying yet and so I just kind

963
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: of started to tell my story and now people are like, oh, yeah,

964
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: I remember that, you know, I listen. There's a lot

965
00:51:30,719 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 1: of people who, um, were there from the beginning that

966
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: are now very very successful, people who are always you know,

967
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: for you as that question because sometimes you know, in

968
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: this business, what you've learned is there's no word of

969
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 1: the word humble is not a word an entertainment. You

970
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: have to be a horned uh harnt tutor, you have

971
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:53,799
Speaker 1: to be a screamer, you have to be a brand

972

Speaker 1: influencer on social media because because I compare what you've
