I am in Atlanta, Georgia, which 41 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: I believe is the moral center for America. Is the 42 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: moral capital for America. That's where we got our It's 43 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: where the Civil War was concluded, the March to the Sea, 44 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: the battle for the March of the Sea, is where 45 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: civil rights for black people, where it was born with 46 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: the civil rights movement. Uh It's where the largest population 47 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 1: of black wealth is today, which I think is the 48 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: beginning of what I call the silver Rights movement. S 49 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: I L V E. R. Moving in the in the 50 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: suites about economics, power, ownership, and opportunity that matches and 51 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: movement in the streets, which is about basic decency and 52 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: dignity respecting access. Uh So, I just think we're sitting 53 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: in the moment in history, my man, but we don't. 54 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: We don't see it for what it is at the moment. Well, 55 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 1: you know, when you talk about the black wealth, you 56 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: know the Tulsa riots, I shouldn't say the riots of 57 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: the massacre when he had a black wall Street in 58 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: Tulsa and the blacks were being um stopped from achieving 59 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: success financially, socially and being recognized for their intelligence, their 60 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: ability to be entrepreneurs. And that's what we're fighting today. 61 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: We're fighting the message that we participate. How can we 62 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 1: overcome the stigma that you know, I want to have 63 00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,639 Speaker 1: to say this right America keeps trying to say black 64 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: people don't participate. Well, we gotta get our minds right, man. 65 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: And that's one of the reasons that I wanted to 66 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: do your show, and one of the one of the 67 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: reasons I bought. I wrote the book, Uh it's now 68 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: bestseller that came out a little in a month ago, 69 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: called Up From Nothing. They untold story of how we 70 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: all succeed. It's all about mindset. Let's go back from 71 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: Let's go back to the Tulsa example you gave. You know, 72 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: I get frustrated with people saying Tulsa, oklah Home the 73 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: black Wall Street, because that's every street in white America. 74 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,040 Speaker 1: I mean, there was nothing, you know, posted the community, 75 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: which was a devastation, which was horrible, which was which 76 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: was humiliating, disgusting, every negative thing you can think about 77 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: what was done to us. But the aspiration that we 78 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: achieved on that street, and it was just a just 79 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: a few blocks. It was a community, a local community 80 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: that should be every community in America, not one middle 81 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: place in Oklahoma that we point to from a hundred 82 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: years ago. The fact that the blacks of white families 83 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: passed down wealth and generation and generation, and it's in 84 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: wealth creation has become a habit with our mainstream Caucasian friends. Uh. 85 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: And the differentiation between making money and building wealth is everything. 86 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: You know. Making money you do from nine to five. 87 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: Building wealth it's what you do from nine to five, 88 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: nine pm to five pm. Me. So you hustle, you 89 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 1: you earn your listing from nine to five. You may 90 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: have a part time hustle from five to nine, but 91 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: you actually build wealth in your sleep from nine to five, 92 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: nine pm to five am. It stocks its bonds, it's 93 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: business investment, it's entrepreneurship. It's education because it compounds in 94 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: your sleep. It's compounding its rental income. You build welcome 95 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: your sleep. Nor ever taught us this. We're we as 96 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 1: you already know, we are brilliant. When the rules are 97 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: published in the plane to this level, we succeed. But 98 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 1: it's what we don't know that we don't know this 99 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: killing is, but we think we know. And Ambassador Andrew 100 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: Young who was on that balcony with Dr King when 101 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 1: he was assassinated. My mentor and friends said, to live 102 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: in a system of free enterprise and not to understand 103 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: the rules of free enterprise just must be the very 104 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: definition of slavery. Wow, let me let me ask you 105 00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: did John again? Thank you for coming on to show 106 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: the discuss. What we're talking about is a black entrepreneurs 107 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: and black recognition being saying that we are we're good citizens, 108 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: we pay taxes, we want the same thing you want, 109 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 1: you know, living in an environment where we could be 110 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 1: saving come home and nobody's broken in our homes. And 111 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: as soon as that that message doesn't get resonated enough 112 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: because it keeps being blindsided, Le'm gonna go back a 113 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: little bit. In I moved to Los Angeles from New 114 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: York in two I was actually living in l A. 115 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: I was on the morning show on Steven Won this 116 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: radio station on KJL are my best friend, Robin Group, 117 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: that's what we're doing that And so I got to 118 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: drive down Crenshaw when it all was going down, and uh, 119 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: that's where I first encountered black people without a fear 120 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 1: or trying to save their business. Started saying, Uh, this 121 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: is a black owned business. This is a black owned business. 122 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: This is the black owned business. Now that's the nineteen 123 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: as two. We had the vivid video of a black 124 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: man and beat several times by several police officers, and 125 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: then we see a black man eight minutes being strangled 126 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: to death on video, same video. Yeah, what I say 127 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: that the city of Los Angeles set on fire the 128 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: country like whole military was sent in to shut it down. 129 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: What do you think is making a difference today? Because 130 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,240 Speaker 1: white people didn't participate in any civil change, but now 131 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: you see white people participating in civil change. And change 132 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 1: can only happen if everybody recognizes there as a problem. Yeah, 133 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: so you've you've unpacked, as I would expect from from 134 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: a high frequency thinker like you. You unpacked, you know, 135 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: you know, Marilla, And a huge question, um, and I'll 136 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: try to answer it succinctly. There's a question within a 137 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: question within a question. Right. Uh So, in my in 138 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: my book I talked about so life is ten percent 139 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: with like does to you and not even how you 140 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: choose to respond to it. I put that in my book. Well, leaderships, 141 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: what's your response going to be? So let's just go 142 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: back permitted to the trauma because because we've been traumatized, 143 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: we've been we've been abused in this country as as 144 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: African Americans. But my Jewish friends were, as an example, 145 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 1: were also likewise not only abused. There was attempted extermination. 146 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 1: The third of them were targeted for extermination by Hitler. 147 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: But so, but they went into that that battle with 148 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: different tools and we had. They came out of that 149 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: battle with different tools and we had. They decided to 150 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: fight that battle with ownership, capitalism, economics. Uh. In fact, 151 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: they were not allowed to own land in Europe. Jews work, 152 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: so they created finance so they could finance for land 153 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: and create portable wealth literally finances portable wealth. And they 154 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: went into that battle with five what I call five 155 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: pillars of success. As much educations you can shove down 156 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: your throat, understanding the math, economics, ownership, entrepreneurships. In trammidacy 157 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 1: of all things, you talk about family structure and resiliency, 158 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: self esteem and confidence. As you know those two things 159 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: are different. Self esteem is how you esteem your self. Confidences, 160 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: how you think your competence, and leading it into the 161 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: world in role modeling an environment. Right, So they had 162 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: those things tight going in and they and they have 163 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: them tight coming out. But they decided to fight because 164 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: they're Jews today are being stabbed and murdered and enlynched 165 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 1: around the world. But they decided to fight their fight 166 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: with economics, ownership and opportunity in in my opinion, uh, 167 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 1: in an economic world. So that was the right response. Uh. 168 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: And they and they've demanded you know, even respect, you 169 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: could say earned it whatever with our ourn respects. They 170 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: demanded respect. You had poor whites who came here from 171 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: Britain who came here the same time as we did 172 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: as indigenous servants. Um, and they're still poor today. No 173 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: one taught them to be industrious, but they had the 174 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: benefit of being white. The word white was a made 175 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: up word, literally the European royal class. No one made 176 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: this word up but us in America in a way 177 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 1: to differentiate in their early sixteen hundred's poor whites from 178 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: their poor black brothers and sisters, so they wouldn't collaborate together. 179 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 1: We're on time for that story, will put it aside 180 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: for a minute. So African American who as you know, 181 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: came here as geniuses of the land. That's why we 182 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: were brought here from Africa because we were agricultural geniuses. 183 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: We get plant seed, soil and grow crops anywhere in 184 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: the world. So we weren't dummies. We were geniuses. But 185 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: when they got we got here, they dumbed this down. 186 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 1: They stripped us of that self esteem and that confidence. 187 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: They demanded us they they demanded, they denied us the education. 188 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 1: The Freedom's Bank of eighteen sixty five that Abraham Lincoln 189 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: created the teach free slaves about money. After the Civil War, 190 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: he was killed the next month. The bank fell into disrepair, 191 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: even though further Douglas tried to run it. People don't 192 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: even know uh that that that the further Thoas was 193 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,200 Speaker 1: a business man that he owned real estated Baltimore, Maryland. 194 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: They just think he was an abolitionist um and he 195 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: and he put ten thousand odors on money in that bank. 196 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 1: But that bank sales, and no one taught us to 197 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: netual literacy on our family structure was was destroyed. Our 198 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 1: resiliency as a result of that was denied. Or says 199 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: it was never built. Self esteem in the toilet wrote 200 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: confidence came from the wrong sort of things, which were 201 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: things that blame, things that shine uh in role models 202 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: were you know, Okay, let's put at our role models 203 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 1: the two areas we succeeded, and I'll shut up here. 204 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 1: We're really at scale the arts. You know, you work 205 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: with Steve Harvey who was also friends the arts and 206 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: professional sports. Why the rules were published and the plane 207 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: field was leveled, so we killed it because the rules 208 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: were published in the plane there was level the capitalism, 209 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: which is nine of the GDP of this country in 210 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: the world that's left over nowhere were taught of that game. 211 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: So you combine the five pillars we didn't get with 212 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 1: the game that we don't understand, and you end up 213 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,080 Speaker 1: in the situation that you find we find ourselves in 214 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: where these in place black murders by police and unfortunate shootings, 215 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: where it's five hundred credit score neighborhoods. We have a 216 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: check casher next to a payday loan lender, next to 217 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 1: a rent to own store, next to a title lender, 218 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: next to a liquor store, next to a pawn shop, 219 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: and at the church down the street, trying to make 220 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: you feel a little bit better once a week. I 221 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: called that an official psychologist because we want admit that 222 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: we Craig Craig, we won't go get real health. And 223 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 1: I think that if you're black today, therefore COVID nineteen 224 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: of us would be clinically undiagnosed depressed for good reason. 225 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 1: So what so COVID just just sort of took it 226 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: even made you more resilient, and you double down on 227 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: the right mentality called a winning mentality. You have that, 228 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: you've got a winning mentality and you've got a hunter's roll. 229 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: You se, you got that, and that's why that's why 230 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 1: you continue to succeed. But most of our people have 231 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: a surviving mentality and in an observer spectators role, that's 232 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: the problem. We've got to get our heads back in 233 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: the game. We gotta Malcolm exit. We've been bamboozer, we've 234 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: been tripped, we've been cooled, right, come on now, hoodwink. 235 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: So that's why that's why I'm all about financial literacy 236 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,959 Speaker 1: at scale, black ownership of businesses and the way to 237 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 1: social justice at scale. I'm all go ahead, So let 238 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: me ask you this, John. You know that because what 239 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: you're saying is absolutely correct, and what I wanted to 240 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: get on the additional response to you was that we 241 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,559 Speaker 1: had a video in ninety two Rodney King. And then 242 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: we had a video of two thousand and twenty UM 243 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: George Flare, George Gloria. The nation saw the same video 244 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: in l a burn down. The Bush sent in the 245 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: military to shut down the situation and then move forward 246 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:16,439 Speaker 1: in people are white? People are reacting differently. Was it 247 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: COVID being shut down being a seein of being able 248 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: to talk amongst each other, or society has become more 249 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: interracial now they're willing to be able to communicate honestly 250 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: about the flaws of America. What made this movement different? 251 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: It's fear. It's fear in your own house. And what 252 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: I mean by that is and by the way, there 253 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: are a lot of uh what I call, you know, 254 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: very very good Caucasian collaborators and supporters out there that 255 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: we should give them credit for. I mean the Partment 256 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 1: with the Urban League, that was when the urban was 257 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: created through blacks and whites, the Responsible Whites Partment with 258 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: the in the creation of the Indo acp Responsible White 259 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: departnered with blacks, in the creation of Operation Hope and 260 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: so many other organizations. So I want to make sure, 261 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: just sure that that that that statement is out there, 262 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: that this is not a white versus black conversation. But 263 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: your question, once again is very insightful, and the answer 264 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: is that they understand where at the where at the 265 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: end of kicking this can down the road, that it's 266 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: not going to hurt them if we don't we don't 267 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: solve this. That in Europe, you had the European families 268 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 1: taken over when wealth got to one or two percent 269 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: of concentration of all wealth. That's not sustainable. And they 270 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 1: until we were before COVID and before the economic crisis 271 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: and before the Swarded Earro Social Justice recording, you had 272 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 1: this this widening of the wealth and income inequality gap. 273 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 1: But you know it was it was five percent, it 274 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: was ten. But we now realize that every hundred years 275 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: you have you have a reset in this country. So 276 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: you had the independence from Britain in seven Circus seventy seventeen, 277 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: circuit seventeen seventy let's be fair at A seventeen sixty five, 278 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: seventeen seventy five. Then you had the Civil Rights Movement 279 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: Circus six a hundred years later, sixty sixteen. Uh, sorry, 280 00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: let's go and sorry, the story the Civil War my 281 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: bad eighteen eighteen five. Then you had the civil rights 282 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: movement the sixties, nineteen sixties. Every hundred years, this one 283 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 1: is early. This was early. By thirty years. Everybody realized 284 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 1: that the moment is pregnant and what the question is, 285 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 1: what are we gonna give birth to? Is it chaos 286 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: to call Dr King? Or is it community? His last book? 287 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 1: Where do we go from here? So anybody who's thinking 288 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: right now, anybody who's thoughtful, anybody who has wealth and 289 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 1: wants to keep it, anybody who wants democracy and wants 290 00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: to sustain it, is looking at a society that's coming across, 291 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: coming coming apart at the scenes. Because hope is not 292 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: equal be distributed to all of God's children. We're not 293 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: keeping the competition to building right, not even not not 294 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: even by a liberal definition of that is not sustainable. 295 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:12,440 Speaker 1: So my I tell my rich friend, my rich friends 296 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 1: need my poor friends to do better, if only to 297 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: state rich. So there's there's enough police to save you. 298 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: If police have I'm sorry if people have lost hope. 299 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: So I think that is the short answer, is that 300 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: everybody understands that that that you can take no pleasure 301 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: from the fact that the whole in my my end 302 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 1: of our boat, right because we're all going to sing 303 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 1: I love it.

That's O T T E R 343 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: dot ai. You've got to have a solution legger than 344 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: the problems that we face. And so I draft this 345 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: thing called a New Marshal Plan, which people can go 346 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,120 Speaker 1: online and download. Uh. That's my vision for the resetting 347 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: of this country. And to your point of what you 348 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: preach on the show, it's about a hand up strategy, 349 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,440 Speaker 1: not a hand out strategy. It's about recognizing black folks 350 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: as untapped GDP gross domestic product. That discrimination racism against 351 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: blacks has cost this country sixteen trillion dollars with the 352 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: t and lost GDP in the last twenty years. City 353 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: Group report of two weeks ago. It also showed that 354 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 1: they just knocked it off right now, the country would 355 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: gain another five trillion dollars of GDP over the next 356 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 1: five years. That's enough to pay off the care at 357 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: COVID nineteen stimulus money for the whole country. So I'm 358 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: looking at this this challenge through an economic lens. I 359 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: think that's the right lens to solve it, to get 360 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: everybody on deck. And so if you have three million, 361 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: just under three million black businesses in America. But nine 362 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: percenters they don't have an employee. Pause. I want people 363 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: to think about that, all right, how could you get 364 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: the Care Act money, the PPP money, which was designed 365 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: for employers who have employees with overhead. If you're working 366 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: from home with no employees, you missed that boat. Altogether. 367 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 1: It struck me that we have no books and records. 368 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: We've got no business manager, we've got no accountant, no 369 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 1: cp A, we've got no proper banker. I don't mean 370 00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: to teller at the local bank branch. I mean a 371 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: private banker who knows who you are and curate your involvement. Welcome. 372 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 1: We we don't, we're not We're not building well. We're 373 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: on a tread mill, trying to get paid, getting paid, 374 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: getting some money, getting some paper. All that's these phrases 375 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: that we use is winning the battle and losing the war. 376 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: We need to be built building wealth. You can't build 377 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 1: wealth without compound, and can't compound without something other than you, 378 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: in this case, employees, technology, infrastructure systems. So I decided 379 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: to not just complain about it, to trying to do 380 00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: something about it. So we partnered together with Shopify, the 381 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 1: second largest e commerce retailer in the world, the largest 382 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: company in Canada, and they committed a hundred and twenty 383 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: seven million dollars at our Whole Global Forum last week, 384 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,640 Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty seven million dollars over ten years 385 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: to help Operations Hope stand up one million new black businesses. 386 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: So people people can go to one MBB operating type. 387 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: They can type into computer one mbb is searchable now, 388 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: or go to Hope one mbb dot org or Operation 389 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: Hope dot org and right now step into the new 390 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: reality of business ownership for themselves and their children and 391 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,199 Speaker 1: their children's children, the creation of Well, I'm gonna get 392 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 1: into what that all this means, but that's the back 393 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 1: story of what we're doing. And we're and and Shapifi 394 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 1: is not the only company involved. It's made that first 395 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 1: major commitment. We're doing wrap around services which include accountants. 396 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: We're giving us time bank commitments of two hours for businesses. 397 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: We know. Just really interesting that you're saying this because 398 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: I remember na need to open a comedy club. I 399 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,720 Speaker 1: just opened it, John, Okay, I didn't have an accounting 400 00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 1: in place, I didn't understand by human resources. I didn't 401 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: even have job applications and I was hiring people. Okay, 402 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: I had no system in place. And that's what you're 403 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 1: talking about. As far as being an entrepreneur, you have 404 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: to document that you're an entrepreneur in order to be 405 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: recognized as an entrepreneur. In order to get loans, you 406 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: have to have separate bank accounts. In other words, if 407 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 1: you have a personal bank account, you should need to 408 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: open up a business bank account. This is how you 409 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: become recognized as a business person. And I used that 410 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: named to an example because just like you, I'm on 411 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: to tell people how I've made mistake in order to 412 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 1: tell people how I recovered from those mistakes that I made. 413 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: Nobody's perfect as a as an entrepreneur. I don't care 414 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: who you're talking to. Talk to Bill Get You, talk 415 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 1: to Warren Buffet. They've all made miscalculations on the stock 416 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: or miscalculation on business position. But we have to understand 417 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 1: that that happens. But you have to have to understand 418 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,919 Speaker 1: that you have to have the infra infrastructure in place 419 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 1: in order to be respected and ought to be recognized 420 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: as an actual business. And that's where black people in 421 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: general get frustrated and they're quick to call racism because 422 00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: they're not giving the same opportunity. But they're also not 423 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 1: giving the same opportunity because they don't have the right 424 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 1: plan in place. And that's what you're talking about. What 425 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: we're talking now, we're talking so so as racism real. 426 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: And then this is again, this is what I go 427 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: I go through deep in my book for nothing is 428 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: it's a certain degree. We're shooting ourselves in the foot. Now. 429 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: Racism is absolutely real. Racism like rain, it's either fall 430 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,680 Speaker 1: into place or gathering. Okay, unbrelling the color you're like 431 00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,120 Speaker 1: and start strolling too it because it's not gonna change, 432 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: but you so you must. But why does our Nigerian 433 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: black friends come here and kill it in three years? 434 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: Why do our Ethiopian black friends are are you know? 435 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: Jamaican black friends come here? They're blacker enough. They come 436 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: here and they and they in three years they own 437 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: the whatever little you know, three three three Uber cars 438 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,919 Speaker 1: their own. We all get a relation as a as 439 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: a hard worker, a person who's willing to hold down 440 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: fifteen jobs. And that's what you were talking about earlier, 441 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: nine to five, five to nine, nine to nine, twenty 442 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 1: four hours. They learn how to use each hour and 443 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: that's what black people are not being being, not taking 444 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 1: that mantle of acceptance that you know, we're willing to 445 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: work hard to achieve our dreams, where the mantle in 446 00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: the streets is that black people are lazy. Black people 447 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 1: are always looking for handouts. Well, when you say when 448 00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: you talk about Africans, or you talking about Jamaican from 449 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 1: the Caribbean or all these other people who look like 450 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: us tend to come over here and accept the accept 451 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: criticism they walk through that you criticize me, that's not 452 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: gonna stop me from my dreams. And that's all you're 453 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: saying right now is that we have to change the 454 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: mindset and also be willing to say that's not me. 455 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: Let me show you who I am. That's right, Wow, John, 456 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: come on, man, keep talking preaching. Not one, not one 457 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 1: to answer to. My self worth and self esteem depends 458 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: on your acceptions of me. That's Quincy Jones. Is not 459 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: what people call you? Is what you answer to toe 460 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: That's important. Never ever answer out of your name. That's 461 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: Dr that's Dr Chip Murray First Davie Church in Los Angeles. Uh. 462 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,199 Speaker 1: Life is not what life does to you, is how 463 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: you respond to it. That's me I take no for vitamins. Okay, 464 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: that's me. You know, an entpreneur works eighteen hours thing 465 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: to keep getting your job. That's me. You know, uh, 466 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: you know, success is going from failure to failure without 467 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: loss of enthusiasm. That's me. The point is that you've 468 00:26:52,840 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 1: got to have the right mental uh recruitment and mental 469 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: activity and mental and mental standing and mental and mental 470 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: tie a tunement. You gotta be teen to succeed. So 471 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: this in the book I talked, I talked about this 472 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,439 Speaker 1: this U I make the story real quick. But this guy, 473 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 1: Mike Maples, I was saying, you know, he's one of 474 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 1: the top ten ntual capitalist and Silicon Valley man.

Now, now, 500 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter whether the kid was gonna buy Disney 501 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: or not. It's relevant. The point is that now the 502 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: kid thinks he can buy Disney. Yes, yes, so the kids. 503 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: So the kid grew up to be somebody who who 504 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: is now one of the top ten venture capitalists in 505 00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: Silicon Valley who's financing everybody else us his dreams of 506 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 1: people who believe they can buy Disney or build Disney. 507 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: My point is we've got to get our here. We 508 00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: we've been, We've been sucker punch Man. As a group 509 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: of people, we are brilliant, we are amazing. Again, look 510 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 1: at the arts and look at sports where we have 511 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: that confidence, that self esteem, and we got all the 512 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: tools right, we kill it. We've been killing it in 513 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,479 Speaker 1: if one racing now, I mean, what the mascar if 514 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: one raising tennis of it? We're all in the golf. Uh. 515 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 1: But but no one stopped to give us the rules 516 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 1: of the game. And you're trying to unpack that. I'm 517 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: dealing with the book up from nothing, the work of 518 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: Operation Hope, the financial coaching sessions in twenty states of 519 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 1: Operation Hope, the work of one million black business initiatives, 520 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: this thought leadership of the of the New Marshal Plan. 521 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: I believe this is the third reconstruction. Right now, two 522 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: things before before we wrap up here. One, I want 523 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: to make a statement about how can people participate in 524 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: the one m b B Because you can search you 525 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 1: go on Google to tap it in. But I want 526 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: to make a statement about when you said his dad said, 527 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: looks on you should want to buy Disney because you 528 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 1: look at YouTube. When they sold, they thought they were 529 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: selling for a lot of money. But then you look 530 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: at what YouTube is now when they look back, they 531 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: go wow, okay, okay. And you can even go to 532 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,719 Speaker 1: to the selling the b T. That was a lot 533 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: of money. But when you look at what what When 534 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: you look at what what the infrastructure of content, the 535 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,880 Speaker 1: infrastructure of streaming, how people are, how black content is 536 00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: restling in the nationwide, the value or b T is phenomenal. Okay, 537 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: So what he's saying makes sense. You can shut you 538 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,120 Speaker 1: you're just short selling your dream for a quick check. 539 00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 1: That check may have millions attached to a billions attack 540 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: to it. But son or young lady, look at the future. 541 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: When when Bob Iger Bob Marvel, I didn't I didn't 542 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 1: see why he bought Marvel. Look at Marvel now, the 543 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: biggest franchise a universe, not DC is trying to implement, 544 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: you know, trying to try to copy. I should say 545 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: what Marvel has accomplished with that franchise. So it's the 546 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,880 Speaker 1: visionary part that we are lacking in the black community. 547 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: We have to become visionaries, not just visionary in the 548 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: church because we got that lock we got we got 549 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: the Bible on lock. But from a business perspective, we 550 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 1: don't have that on lock because we tend to pray 551 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: too much and we tend to hope for opportunity into 552 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: the creed and change. That's what you're talking about with 553 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 1: your whole platform, correct, John Well. I wanted to continue 554 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: to pray, but I wanted also to be dr. Dr 555 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: Dorothy Heights said, you need to be a dream with 556 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: a shovel in your hand. And we've got to be 557 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,760 Speaker 1: as as expert in the suite as we are in 558 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: the streets. I mean, we're expert at protesting and marching, 559 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: but that doesn't pay a bill. Being angry with your 560 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: neighbor doesn't make you any wealth here. You've got to 561 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: move from the streets to the suite. So three years ago, 562 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: we don't we don't we run on the time. I know, 563 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: three years ago, maybe come back to your show. Three 564 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,520 Speaker 1: years ago. I got you gotta first, John, you gotta 565 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: come back because I knew nothing about the book. This 566 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: interview was set up to talk about the one MBB. 567 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: So I wanted because the end of the year. We're 568 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,600 Speaker 1: in November right now, so I want to bring back 569 00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: in December because I've read every book that comes to me, 570 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: and I'll I'll be buying your book to read it 571 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: because I think that's a great book for us to 572 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:22,040 Speaker 1: use the launch lunch of program of what one should 573 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 1: be like for young entrepreneurs. But continue your thought. Yeah, 574 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: so I'll be happy to come back. But the three 575 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: years ago I decided for those who still didn't think 576 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:35,080 Speaker 1: that what I was saying applies to them all, John, 577 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: you did that in a nonprofit sectors here, But I 578 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: was an entrepreneur before I did.

Three years ago I went and created 580 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: a real estate company had no assets zero.
