61
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: you know, you know, I know your talents. We we've

62
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: we've we kind of met a couple of times when

63
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,280

66
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago when we had that conversation, and I

67
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: see you still maintaining that with your foundation. Talk to

68
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: us about it before we get into the book. Well,

69
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: it's the Duke Media Foundation and you can see it

70
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: online at Duke Media Foundation dot org. Just Media Foundation

71
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: dot org. And we teach young people who are interested

72
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: in our industry. Uh. Two things. One is media literacy.

73
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: We've gone from some in television to Hulu, Crackical, Amazon, Netflix,

74
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: augmented reality, virtual reality, cell phone apps. I mean it

75
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: goes on and on and on, and it's not about

76
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: just purchasing those things. What are the jobs behind those issues?

77
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: And the second thing we teach young people is financial literacy.

78
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: We are taught how to spend money, but now to

79
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: use money. So we teach them about what is the

80
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: FBI C what's the Federal Reserve with the stock market,

81
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: what is Wall Street? What's debt with his credit with

82
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 1: his compound interest? What are phones? So that they're given

83
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: the information that they can utilize to their benefit in

84
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: terms of leveraging dollars for themselves. That's really amazing. And

85
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: what's the age group and how can one? Uh, I

86
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: got a young person, I'm assuming a male and female.

87
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: And what's the age group that participates in this in

88
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: your foundation program? They're high schools from fourteen to eighteen

89
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: years old. And we tind to hold it four times

90
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: a year. Um, we are constantly raking funds for it

91
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 1: because you think we want to eventually take a national

92
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: particularly financial literacy is so important. You know, we were

93
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: trying to spend money for now to use this absolutely well.

94
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: You know the thing about it is always used me

95
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: as an asset, you know when you're doing it again.

96
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: And Bill, first of all a fan. You've been like

97
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: a mentor to me because I've watched your talent. Uh,

98
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: people don't understand you don't have to know somebody for

99
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: somebody to be your mentor. It's just what they how

100
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,679
Speaker 1: they carry themselves, how they present themselves on screen, the accomplishments,

101
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: and watching your career, I have to say, you're you

102
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: have been a mentor to me because you've laid the

103
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: groundwork to say this can happen. This can happen. And

104
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: you have a production company there that produces film and

105
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: television show called Duke Media Entertainment. Let them Let the

106
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: fans and the listeners know about that. Well, we UM

107
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: try our best, you know, to collaborate with other companies,

108
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: UM Network, Studios, online, et cetera, to create content. We

109
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: call it entertainment and we don't fat or anything, but

110
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: we think that, you know, you can entertain people but

111
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: also give them a little nothing to think about, uh

112
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,919
Speaker 1: without you know, because we don't know everything. But you know,

113
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,159
Speaker 1: there are issues that raise their heads that should be

114
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: addressed and you can do it in an entertaining way.

115
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: So we tire our best to do that. And so

116
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: UM that's that's that's our goal. Well, you know, the

117
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: interesting thing about having a production company, because I have one,

118
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: is and uh but yours is way more advanced in mind, Bill,

119
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: And is that when you think about how do people

120
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: what are the wrong the incorrect way that people present

121
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: ideas to try to pitch ideas to you? Aught your

122
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: production company, if you can give by my listeners, Uh,

123
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: how quick? How to and how don't to pitch an idea? Well?

124
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: First of all, um, today pitching an idea? UM A

125
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: lot of the creative executives and industry or accountants and um,

126
00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: you know you're going to pitch an idea verbally. I

127
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 1: think you protect yourself better if you have what it's

128
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: called the deck, and it's a visual digital presentation of

129
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: the vision. Um, who is your basic audience? How many

130
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: of them are there? What is your gender? Et cetera.

131
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: Have a little sizzle reel, would be great to have

132
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: the script plus a synopsis. But to answer your vital questions.

133
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: I used to go pitching with passion and all kinds

134
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: of well my grandfather, big grandfather with a slave or

135
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: whatever and that of that, this is why it's important.

136
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: And I used to pick those ideas. And I go

137
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: back to my agent because no one picked the ideas up,

138
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: and I said, what in the name, but what's going on?

139
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: And so he said, hey, Bill, did you answer the

140
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: essential questions in the first three minutes of the pitch

141
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: and said, what is that question? He said, Bill, what

142
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: they want to know is how in the hell you're

143
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: gonna make me mo money back. Yeah, that's true, that's true.

144
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: I never thought about that. But you can have all

145
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: the past that you want. If you can't tell them

146
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: how you can make them the money back, it ain't

147
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 1: work too well Deep Cover, which is one of my

148
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: all time favorite movies. How did you make that transition

149
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: to directing? Well, Um, I was directing uh stage played

150
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: in New York and out here in l A also,

151
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: But I was always and I wrote my own stuff,

152
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: but I was always intimidated by the equipment of you know,

153
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: the cameras in there, the dolly grip, the dollies and

154
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: UH and the lights and everything. And I just overwhelmed

155
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:47,000

Speaker 1: years after that, and I said I would, I would

160
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: get over the sphere because I have to have more

161
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,360

256
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,960

259
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: So I was in my man cave researching personal loans,

260

Speaker 1: my credit score. She always takes credit from my wins.

267

339
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,720

Speaker 1: on the show of ra Sean McDonald's all about me,

341
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: but but not you. I'm a hard worker. I like

342
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 1: to get the work done. I'm really more of a

343
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: behind the scene manager and person. I like to create greatness.

344
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: I don't really like being in the spotlight, you know.

345
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: And really with this new venture that I have um

346
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: just launched, I'm more out front. I don't really want

347
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 1: to be is that it are bad good, it's good,

348
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: But for me, that's not who I am. Behind the scene,

349
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think that can happen nowadays, you know,

350
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: because of social media. Social media, you know, we have

351
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: directors are not stars, Executive producers are not stars because

352
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: of social media. Because people want to know so much

353
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: about them, want to engage in their their their process.

354
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: They want to be able to like what you do.

355
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: They want to be able to comment on how you create.

356
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: So that's that's what I've learned about myself. You know,

357
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: because I've been with Steve Harvey, I was truly up

358
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: behind the scenes guy as you were with Usher, because

359
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: you come into the radio studio and she melted into

360
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,959
Speaker 1: the wall. It wasn't about your your role. You were

361
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: there to make sure his his role was successful and

362
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: then you you moved on. So I understand that, but

363
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: I know that as rus Sean McDonald as as you

364
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,159

365
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: brand because you're now a brand. How does one if

437
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: ultimate goal? What do you see three years from now?

00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: What's what? Where? Where's your brain in three years? Well?

439
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: I think three years from now, UM, we are going

440
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: to definitely make a mark on this industry. UM. A

441
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: lot of agencies you know, UM you've probably heard stories

442
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: about the integrity of various UH agents and agencies and

443
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: how they u players off. UM. Well that's where the

444
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: opposite of that, you know, UM we UM we want

445
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: UM when when a player comes to us, UM, they're

446
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: gonna know that we are standing behind them and that

447
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: we have integrity and that we have their best interests

448
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: UM at heart. And that's why right because you know

449
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: your your name means something. You know, this is how

450
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: it really works. You know, I know her, I don't

451
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: know you, and then you you, So her brand value

452
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 1: has at least allowed me to look at you and

453
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 1: relate to what you're trying to contribute. But you're bringing

454
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: the model the model because she doesn't have time to

455
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: do what you do. And so that's what you do

456
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 1: in life. And that's why I was just talking about

457
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: social media. She's a brand, you know what she wants

458
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: to resist that or not. You know, she can't because

459
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: of the fact that people the not only just social media,

460
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: but the digital platform just can just type in your

461
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: name and that's good and bad. And so that's why

462
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: I work, because people can take negative and that can

463
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: dominate your your core. And that's why I constantly worked

464
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 1: up update, update, um content on me. You know, like

465
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: I said, I have my Rashan McDonald dot com website,

466
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: Money Making Conversations dot com website, and Baker Spotlight dot

467
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: com And so always know that the value of who

468
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: I am is a friend. And so you know, we've

469
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 1: already talked about what we're gonna do, and I'm serious

470
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: about that because I feel that, you know, we've've seen

471
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,239
Speaker 1: each other. While I had to say visually since the

472
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 1: l a radio station we first started meeting. When us

473
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: you come back there and you know, we come on

474
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: my show? Can you come on my show? You know,

475
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: getting kids? But I've been knowing him way back before then,

476
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 1: from the Moitia days, you know, and and things like that.

477
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: And so I remember when I knew he was a

478
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: star wars way back on Vibe when he when he

479
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: did his first hit song and and he did uh

480
00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 1: and he did a live routine and send Bad was

481
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: hosting up. I looked at the friend and I go,

482
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: that's a star right there. I said, I can't believe

483
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: what this young man is doing. And so that's a

523
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: and racked up a lot of debt. Yeah, it was stressful.

524
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 1: He blamed me for my credit card debt and I

525
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: blamed him for building that man cave. It's awesome anyway,

526
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: we stopped blaming each other, did our homework and read

527
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: that a smart way to consolidate debt is to get

528
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 1: a fixed rate loan. But getting a loan was brutal

529
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 1: and a time drain. So I was in my man

530
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 1: cave researching personal loans and I found best Egg. They

Speaker 1: the process, you know subject vert now, I didn't respect

915
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,720
Speaker 1: the process and so when I when I went to college,

916
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,200
Speaker 1: I you know, I got into the University Houston, but

917
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 1: they didn't like my writing school. So are you from Houston?

918
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,640
Speaker 1: I want to raise Houston, Texas. That's where I'm from.

919
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 1: I was just there. I love Houston. Shout out to town,

920
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: come on, come on there. And I got home there.

921
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:39,799
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna leave there. I got

922
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,320
Speaker 1: a home in Atlanta and a lot of both locations,

923
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: and and and the one thing about the beauty of

924
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: traveling you get to see the world. And I tell

925
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: people to travel all the time. And I get back

926
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: to what I wanted to say about your ability as

927
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: a writer, because I have to respect that because I

928
00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: know that I had to step back to learn how

929
00:49:55,160 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: to write. What makes a good writer, Kevin? What what

930
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 1: is the nuances of your mind being the translate words?

931
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: And it becomes very creative from a writing perspective. That's

932
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 1: why I say I'm a sitcom right. That's different for

933
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: what you do, which is it's all praises do to God.

934
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: It's all connected because I mean, honestly, so I grew

935
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 1: up watching a lot of TV, and so you know,

936
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: I think all of its valuable, Like what if if

937
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm actually turning the Education of Kevin Powell into a

938
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 1: TV pilot right now, myself and my co writer, So

939
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 1: what does that mean? We got to go and watch

940
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 1: a lot of TV shows and so being sitcoms, comedies

941
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,920
Speaker 1: or dramas or books, you know, poetry, and you just

942
00:50:32,280 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: I believe you have to read a lot in the

943
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: space that you want to write in. You know, like, well,

944
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: what are the best sitcoms down? Whether I need to

945
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: go watch all those sitcoms going back to the nineteen

946
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: fifties right up to the present. You know, what are

947
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:44,239
Speaker 1: the best dramas that ever been on TV? What are

948
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 1: the best films out there? And so anything that I've

949
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: ever written in I make it a point to study

950
00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: that that that particular type of writing. Like right now,

951
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 1: I'm working on my fourteenth book, which is a biography

952
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 1: of Tupac Shakor. I've been reading for the last couple

953
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: of years a lot of biographies, but also watching a

954
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:00,400
Speaker 1: lot of documentary films, Like you know about saying the figures,

955
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: it could be James bald when it could be mean him,

956
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 1: some old any one house, just anything that's telling the

957
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: story about a person's life, so it could help me

958
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: write this book. And the same thing you know applies

959
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:11,439
Speaker 1: to to sit And I think that you know any

960
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,000
Speaker 1: of it. You know, there's nothing I mean, brother, I

961
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: don't think there's any shame and saying. I think it's

962
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: beautiful that you said, Well, I had to learn how

963
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: to do it because we all are students. I'm forever

964
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: a student. I'm still always going to read stuff. I

965
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: was just one of the folks that learned. I figured

966
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: out early on when I was gont eleven, twelve years old,

967
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:27,279
Speaker 1: I want to be a writer. But I still didn't

968
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: start writing really seriously until to high school and then

969
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,000
Speaker 1: really once I got to college and to this day.

970
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 1: You know, I'm I'm thinking about it in different ways,

971
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:36,560
Speaker 1: like Okay, how do I make this better? How to

972
00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,280
Speaker 1: reach people in new ways? And so it's a process,

973
00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: is a journey. You just gotta be open to it,

974
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: you know. Yes, I first of all, I'm willing to

975
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: admit my flaws because I too. When you come on

976
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: this show, I don't want anybody that they can google

977
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 1: me they see success, their flaws tied to that success,

978
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: their mistakes tied to that success. But also tell people

979
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: just because I was incapable. I understand the process. Then

980
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: look it, I'm gonna sit come writer. So obviously I

981
00:52:02,080 --> 00:52:03,839
Speaker 1: learned how to write something. I learned how to put

982
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: words together from a community standpoint, from a storytelling standpoint.

983
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: So I always tell people that in African American, so

984
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 1: you know, so so many leaps that that people allowed, setbacks,

985
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 1: People tell them you can't do this, And I look

986
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:19,959
Speaker 1: at your life. Your life is tied to people saying

987
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 1: what you can't do, and then there's a series of

988
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: people that tell you what you can do. Talk to

989
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 1: us about it, talk about their journey. Well, I mean,

990
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: first of all, I think you know, one of the

991
00:52:28,960 --> 00:52:31,279
Speaker 1: beautiful things about being black, which is what we are,

992
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: is that we're natural storytellers. We're a naturally starting to ramatic,

993
00:52:36,160 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 1: you know I'm saying. So I always say to people

994
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: like we should honor. Like my my mama is a

995
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 1: Gichi from South Carolina. When I've grown up, sir, I

996
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 1: was I was told that people spoke a certain kind

997
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,920
Speaker 1: of way that wasn't correct realized Now my mama seeks

998
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: beautiful poetry and just like you know, so the people

999
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: of Houston, of Atlanta, wherever we're from its beautiful poetry.

1000
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: And if we if we understand the genius that we

1001
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: have inside of us, and that you know, if we

1002
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:00,920
Speaker 1: want to get in to entertainment, we want to get

1003
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: into this world. All we need to do is like

1004
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: book and T. Washington said, put your buckets right down

1005
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: there and watch them. Magic come up in the sitcoms,

1006
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: in the books, in the drug whatever you want to

1007
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: create in the music. You know what I'm saying, And

1008
00:53:11,239 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 1: that's what I think about. And so you know, for me,

1009
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 1: it's it's most of the work that I do just

1010
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: comes from our people, our communities, our history, you know,

1011
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: current events and things like that. And as you know,

1012
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: it's endless. We got so many stories. Well, you know,

1013
00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 1: the thing about it is that like I was working

1014
00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: at IBM, and then when I left IBM to pursue

1015
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,719
Speaker 1: a career into entertainment. The reason I went in entertainment

1016
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: in this world because I didn't see. I didn't see

1017
00:53:36,280 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: I didn't see the end. You know, I just feel

1018
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 1: like I could just I could just create. I can

1019
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,359
Speaker 1: just I can just grow as an individual. And then

1020
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: the writing aspect of it has made me, h, Okay,

1021
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, you can't stop me. You can't stop me

1022
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:53,959
Speaker 1: from telling my story. You keep telling me to stop

1023
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: me from writing my story. You can't stop me from

1024
00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: promoting my story. And so that's why people need to

1025
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 1: understand the all of education. That's how I respect you

1026
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,359
Speaker 1: so much. One of my good friends with Stephen A Smith,

1027
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:07,839
Speaker 1: and he's a word smith verbally and and with a pen.

1028
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 1: And I always I said, that's the genius of you.

1029
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,279
Speaker 1: The genius of you, Kevin, is that you do it

1030
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 1: as well. You're very articulate. You know you you you

1031
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: braced your tones and understand that you you have a

1032
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: world perspective. And the reason I say that is that

1033
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 1: the fact that you know tupac Chicoo. You just threw

1034
00:54:25,360 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 1: that out like that was not tupac Chicool. I consider

1035
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: the greatest rapper, storyteller, rapper of all time. Now you

1036
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 1: can look at me. Now people can look at me.

1037
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, no, no, no, I don't care
