I know Mandy and 670 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,640 Speaker 3: I had a conversation about this, Like, so I never 671 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 3: finished college because I couldn't afford to finish it because 672 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 3: I got out of that relationship, right, m I don't 673 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 3: want it to splatter in all this equipment. I don't 674 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 3: normally do it like this. But Mandy at the time 675 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 3: coming off of two degrees working for this huge firm, 676 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 3: and she was working more hours and not making as 677 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,200 Speaker 3: much as me in accounting at that time. I understand 678 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 3: it was junior level. Yeah, but I think about that 679 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 3: a lot, and I think about the money you can 680 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,080 Speaker 3: make from selling all the time, and I think about 681 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,720 Speaker 3: that instance of like, shit, maybe she's smarter than me, 682 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 3: but why isn't she making it up? And it's because 683 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 3: that particular skill really can't be taught real you can't. 684 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta practice it and practice it and practice 685 00:29:58,280 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: it and practice it. 686 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 3: I mean, I believe Mandy is greater than what was 687 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 3: I gonna say, you know, the job that she had, 688 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 3: and that's why she's making way more and doing way 689 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 3: more things now. But yeah, I mean it's definitely a thing. Yeah. 690 00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 3: So yeah, with selling doing shit like that, had horrible 691 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 3: decisions on the side, and it was really difficult to 692 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 3: juggle both. And so about two years into doing horrible decisions, 693 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 3: I quit. But it was mainly because I was like, 694 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 3: you know what, if I ever wanted to come back 695 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 3: to this shit, I will, Like I've been making jokes recently, 696 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,320 Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my god, me and fifteen years I'm 697 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 3: probably gonna be a real estate agent. 698 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 2: So why did you quit? 699 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 3: Two years in the trajectory of horrible was faster than 700 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 3: the trajectory of corporate America.

Yeah, 762 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 3: so it's really tough to have a nine to five 763 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,360 Speaker 3: and pursue those entertainment dreams. And like that was why 764 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 3: I was like, I got to figure the shit out. 765 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 3: I think my biggest success in this industry came during 766 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:53,400 Speaker 3: the pandemic while Pivoting. So made the TV show Sex Sells. 767 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 3: It's about the business of sex, having money, making money 768 00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,040 Speaker 3: from sex without having it, And I came up with 769 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 3: that because that's how I make money, right, I just 770 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 3: basically talk about sex covered all these adult industries and 771 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 3: I'm not a TV star, and it ended up popping 772 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 3: on tuess And that's why I'm on. 773 00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: To how did you Did you package that yourself and 774 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,920 Speaker 1: then start selling it or did you package it and 775 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: then started calling Charlemagne or different people you have relationships 776 00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,160 Speaker 1: with and like, so have something that I need. 777 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 3: That's what made me the most proud. I didn't need 778 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 3: a co sign for that. Okay, I believe Horrible Decisions 779 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 3: had the Charlemagne co sign, and that's what made a 780 00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 3: lot of people watching in the beginning. I do believe 781 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,600 Speaker 3: Charlemagne made our success faster. Don't believe we're successful because 782 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 3: it happened faster. But what happened with Sex Sells was 783 00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,280 Speaker 3: like I just had so much time during the pandemic 784 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,320 Speaker 3: to think, and I knew my two loves were fucking 785 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 3: in money m hm, and so I was like, oh 786 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,320 Speaker 3: my god, I should make the show.

Like my biggest thing with playing chess 845 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,000 Speaker 3: is making sure that I'm rubbing elbows with those that 846 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:23,200 Speaker 3: can one day need to use me for something. 847 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,360 Speaker 2: I need to use you.

He was like, that person 850 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 3: is such an opportunist, and I was like, I wonder 851 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,800 Speaker 3: if that's who I am. But really, I don't ask 852 00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 3: I let every single person know what the fuck I do. 853 00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 3: I just had a dinner where I sat down next 854 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 3: to one of the most famous comedians in the world. 855 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 3: I don't even know if this person can travel on 856 00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:51,240 Speaker 3: a commercial plane, that's how famous they are, right. Wow. 857 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,160 Speaker 3: When they asked me what I do, didn't even say 858 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:55,080 Speaker 3: a podcasting. I was like, I own a production studio 859 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,640 Speaker 3: in New York and LA. It's black owned. We shoot 860 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,120 Speaker 3: podcasts mainly, but we also have a mobile team Boom. 861 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,239 Speaker 3: Now it's in your brain. Now you know what you 862 00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 3: can use me for. Like, that's the job I felt 863 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,640 Speaker 3: like I needed to sell to that person at the time. 864 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 3: When I talk to TV show, TV networks or people 865 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 3: that work in Netflix or different things like that I host, 866 00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,919 Speaker 3: I do this, I do that right, Like I want 867 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 3: to make sure that I'm useful to people that I've 868 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:17,520 Speaker 3: rebbed elbows with. 869 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think your sales skills like shines through. I 870 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,239 Speaker 1: always say, like sales is more about paying attention to 871 00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: what the customer wants, listening to them. 872 00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,440 Speaker 2: And then catering to their needs. 873 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,839 Speaker 1: That's just trying to sell someone something that they don't 874 00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 1: want to buy. So even the way you're talking is 875 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,160 Speaker 1: like your sales skills are just really amazing. Yeah, because 876 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,280 Speaker 1: that's how it is. You're supposed to sell. You're supposed 877 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,560 Speaker 1: to you know, if someone walks up to me right now, 878 00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,799 Speaker 1: I'm gonna think about, you know what it is they're 879 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:45,880 Speaker 1: gonna need or want from me. 880 00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,080 Speaker 3: Correct.

It's amazing. 1004 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,360 Speaker 3: You know. Sometimes I get scared, like I'll lose it, 1005 00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 3: But then I realize the hunger that I have to 1006 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:45,320 Speaker 3: help everybody around me is too deep. It's too intense 1007 00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:46,520 Speaker 3: that I don't think it could happen. 1008 00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:47,960 Speaker 2: Now do you deal with well? 1009 00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 1: You said you have multiple companies. You're definitely spread. It 1010 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:54,040 Speaker 1: sounds to me like you're spread pretty thin. I'm so 1011 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:56,080 Speaker 1: happy you shared that because I always. 1012 00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:57,560 Speaker 2: Think that maybe I'm doing something wrong if I have 1013 00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,479 Speaker 2: so many hustles going at the same time. 1014 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,920 Speaker 3: You know, there is something to be said about a 1015 00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,479 Speaker 3: master of none. But I will say this much what's 1016 00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:11,759 Speaker 3: worked for me. I don't steal anybody's idea. I really 1017 00:45:11,840 --> 00:45:14,359 Speaker 3: ride my own wave. I made a studio not because 1018 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 3: there's other podcast studios, because there were no black owned 1019 00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:20,839 Speaker 3: ones that were gonna have podcasters run it. I'd never 1020 00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 3: been to a podcast studio run by a podcaster. I 1021 00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:26,640 Speaker 3: made horrible decisions because I really wanted to do a 1022 00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,719 Speaker 3: fun sex show with someone that I knew was authentic, 1023 00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 3: and there were no black shows about sex that were 1024 00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:35,320 Speaker 3: hosted by normal girls. Yeah right, it was always like 1025 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 3: porn stars or whatever. Everything that I've done so far 1026 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 3: hadn't seen before except for stock, I would say, But like, 1027 00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 3: I've really rode my own wave, and that's why I 1028 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 3: think it's worked. So when you do too many different 1029 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 3: trades and you're taking an idea, like your concept is different. 1030 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:57,160 Speaker 3: We've all seen a cooking show which your concept is different, right, Yeah. Yeah, 1031 00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,839 Speaker 3: So it's like you have to have something different at 1032 00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,000 Speaker 3: it to it, and I think that if you don't, 1033 00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:03,880 Speaker 3: you then become a master of none because you're just 1034 00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,760 Speaker 3: trying to do things that other people do. Yeah, that's tough. 1035 00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,839 Speaker 1: I have a fear of I don't even know where 1036 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 1: this fear came from, but when it comes to partnering 1037 00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:17,400 Speaker 1: with other people, I feel like my greatest asset is 1038 00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 1: my relationships, and it's probably because I have so much integrity. 1039 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,839 Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, I won't hurt a full I really 1040 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,080 Speaker 1: won't even hurt a fly because I want to treat 1041 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 1: people the way I would want to be treated, So 1042 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,840 Speaker 1: my loyalty is there. But when I see like you 1043 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 1: and Mandy working together and you and Alex working together, 1044 00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:35,759 Speaker 1: I'm like, either the integrity on you has got to 1045 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 1: be super lit or how are you managing that partnership? 1046 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: Because I always I always get nervous, like what if 1047 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 1: the other partner doesn't hold up or there's a disagreement? 1048 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,120 Speaker 2: So how do you how do you navigate that? 1049 00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 3: My first partnership I've ever had was with Mandy right, 1050 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,080 Speaker 3: and Mandy and I had stopped we're friends, stopp being friends, 1051 00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,359 Speaker 3: became friends again during the show, fell out of friendship again. 1052 00:46:55,400 --> 00:47:00,920 Speaker 3: But I think we are so hungry to make money 1053 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,120 Speaker 3: that we look past that and we're able to think 1054 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:05,839 Speaker 3: of the greater purpose. Like if I had a co 1055 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,320 Speaker 3: host that wasn't about our fans, maybe I couldn't do 1056 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 3: the job, you know what I'm saying. But Mandy's a 1057 00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 3: self starter like I am too. Yeah, so it's not tough. 1058 00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:19,279 Speaker 3: Like Mandy and I were on tour putting together the 1059 00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,239 Speaker 3: merch table or doing something with the merchan o, the 1060 00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,520 Speaker 3: VIP things, and you know, if I see her doing something, 1061 00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:25,600 Speaker 3: I don't want her to do it alone. 1062 00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:28,200 Speaker 2: Like, yeah, because oh nice, okay. 1063 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:29,840 Speaker 3: You know, and I think she feels the same for me, 1064 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:32,080 Speaker 3: so we definitely try and trust me, I have a 1065 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,360 Speaker 3: time where I didn't even realize how much work she 1066 00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,320 Speaker 3: was putting in with the finance stuff. She's making spreadsheets 1067 00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,040 Speaker 3: and shit back then and doing stuff I didn't even 1068 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:41,799 Speaker 3: understand that works. I would try to do it on 1069 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:47,840 Speaker 3: the creative side. But like I think for me, with partnerships, 1070 00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:50,359 Speaker 3: there's a skill set that someone has that I don't. 1071 00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,880 Speaker 3: You know, wtf is so about the tech which is 1072 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,799 Speaker 3: all Alex and not me. But I do have to 1073 00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,439 Speaker 3: give myself credit on how we were able to get 1074 00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:02,080 Speaker 3: this shit going. I just don't know how much I 1075 00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 3: rent is where the light deal come from. He don't 1076 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,319 Speaker 3: know what the fuck going on, which is great, yeah, 1077 00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,640 Speaker 3: figure out the other shit. Like I really learned how 1078 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,319 Speaker 3: to use our skills and work together in that way, 1079 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,359 Speaker 3: and it's definitely been touched. She's one of my tough 1080 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,719 Speaker 3: he's one of my best friends, and it's like damn, now, 1081 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,399 Speaker 3: sometimes it's all work. So we really have to feed 1082 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:18,799 Speaker 3: that friendship. You know. We have to have a night 1083 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:20,239 Speaker 3: where we get drunk together and have fun and not 1084 00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:22,759 Speaker 3: talk about work. We have to really do that to 1085 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,560 Speaker 3: enjoy each other and separate it because it's tough. 1086 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:29,239 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know with Dolly.

I just thought 1156 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,359 Speaker 3: about it. Whether I'm angry with Maandy or not, I've 1157 00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:22,600 Speaker 3: never thought she would like take money from the company 1158 00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 3: or something. Right with Alex and I were bestie, so 1159 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,879 Speaker 3: we're not going to fuck each other over. And they 1160 00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 3: were telling me about how someone been sneaking money out 1161 00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:33,719 Speaker 3: of their partnership, and I never thought of the bad 1162 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,680 Speaker 3: side of what could happen for partnerships, only the good. Yeah, 1163 00:51:36,680 --> 00:51:39,080 Speaker 3: But it's really because I do find strength in numbers, 1164 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,760 Speaker 3: and I think partnership just builds and builds and builds 1165 00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 3: your portfolio. I mean, I would rather have half of 1166 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,600 Speaker 3: ten things, you know what I mean, especially knowing that, 1167 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:51,920 Speaker 3: like there's so many times Alex has called me and 1168 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,799 Speaker 3: is like, yo, Neil Brennan is coming in and David 1169 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,719 Speaker 3: Lehiman coming in our studios US right, or maybe I'll 1170 00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,160 Speaker 3: hit him up and I'll be like we're locked down 1171 00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,120 Speaker 3: for a week. We got to do from Amazon. Like 1172 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,000 Speaker 3: it's always one or the other, and it really really helps, 1173 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,600 Speaker 3: because when you're trying to get all that different money, 1174 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,840 Speaker 3: you can't do all things. I don't believe in people 1175 00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,120 Speaker 3: that are trying to have too much control over everything. 1176 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,319 Speaker 3: You know. That's that's when it gets really tough. That's 1177 00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,319 Speaker 3: when you get burnt out. You've got to be able 1178 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,840 Speaker 3: to alleviate some of that. I'm real cheap and I 1179 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:20,680 Speaker 3: don't even be wanting to give money up to an assistant, 1180 00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:22,480 Speaker 3: but I realize it helps make your life easier. 1181 00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:24,600 Speaker 1: Have you have you considered bringing one on yet I 1182 00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,120 Speaker 1: have one, as it has been helpful. 1183 00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:30,120 Speaker 3: Well, our studio is so busy.

It's on our 1274 00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,840 Speaker 3: Patreon where I came back from Paris and I was 1275 00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,560 Speaker 3: hanging in this Beyonce and jay Z party. It was 1276 00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:23,920 Speaker 3: very small, like thirty people, and after that you couldn't 1277 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,480 Speaker 3: tell me shit.

But they're the real 1612 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:24,120 Speaker 1: inspiration behind my show. They're realize stories and realize advice. 1613 01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:26,680 Speaker 3: And honestly sharing that to the world and then you 1614 01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:30,280 Speaker 3: receiving that fan feedback and things like that, like having 1615 01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,680 Speaker 3: the passion that making you feel good learning in the 1616 01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,800 Speaker 3: middle of your job. That's how you know you keep going, 1617 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:38,880 Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. But also, I think the 1618 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:42,799 Speaker 3: largest mistake entrepreneurs make is if they have a regular 1619 01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:44,960 Speaker 3: job or a steady gig, they leave it for the 1620 01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:49,000 Speaker 3: passion before the passion flourishes. Yeah, and I didn't do that, 1621 01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:51,759 Speaker 3: Like I was working eighty hours a week, doing horrible 1622 01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,840 Speaker 3: and you know, literally coming in with my suitcase to 1623 01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:56,519 Speaker 3: the office, like, oh, I went to go see my parents, 1624 01:11:56,520 --> 01:11:58,920 Speaker 3: But really, I had a fucking four hundred seat show 1625 01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,320 Speaker 3: that we fill down and like that today is different. 1626 01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:05,040 Speaker 3: Now it's double right and it feels great, but like, nah, 1627 01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:09,400 Speaker 3: I had to do both. I think living in the 1628 01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:14,559 Speaker 3: entertainment industry today is interesting because it could be anybody, right, Like, 1629 01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:16,880 Speaker 3: influencers have really ruined fame? 1630 01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:18,280 Speaker 2: You think so? 1631 01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,719 Speaker 1: Yes, I guess I could see that. It's weird because 1632 01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,000 Speaker 1: I see, like I feel like they're self made and 1633 01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:25,720 Speaker 1: they work very hard, like when you look at the 1634 01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:28,599 Speaker 1: behind the scenes, they work hard. But I definitely will 1635 01:12:28,640 --> 01:12:30,720 Speaker 1: say I don't know. I would like to hear your 1636 01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:31,559 Speaker 1: perspective on it. 1637 01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:39,600 Speaker 3: I think influencers ruined fame because not saying that they're talentless, 1638 01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,920 Speaker 3: but content creation as a form of a talent. Like 1639 01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,679 Speaker 3: if the Internet is gone, then where do you take 1640 01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:49,720 Speaker 3: it and what do you do with it? You know, 1641 01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:51,680 Speaker 3: I have a big influencer that reached out to me. 1642 01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,200 Speaker 3: They're not going broke or anything like they're making like 1643 01:12:54,479 --> 01:12:58,080 Speaker 3: maybe thirty fortieth posts, but they reached out to me 1644 01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:00,479 Speaker 3: and we're like, I need you to have dinner with 1645 01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:01,920 Speaker 3: me or some shit and influence me to do some 1646 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:05,040 Speaker 3: other shit. Because I realized this is like just what 1647 01:13:05,080 --> 01:13:06,880 Speaker 3: if Instagram doesn't want me to do ads anymore? What 1648 01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:10,360 Speaker 3: if Instagram stops advertisments for influencers, what if the hashtag 1649 01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,680 Speaker 3: goes away? Like she was terrified and it was when 1650 01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:15,080 Speaker 3: TikTok was about to get banned or something, and I 1651 01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,680 Speaker 3: was like, damn. I'm like, I don't know half of 1652 01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:20,800 Speaker 3: my nas year off of heigi ads. But she was right, 1653 01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,599 Speaker 3: like I didn't do anything else. I've just been learning 1654 01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:26,240 Speaker 3: this one skill, and that shit is tough because, like, 1655 01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:28,280 Speaker 3: I don't know, I wouldn't want my kids to be 1656 01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:31,760 Speaker 3: an influencer. I think it also inflates when I say 1657 01:13:31,800 --> 01:13:35,240 Speaker 3: the ruined fame, like you have movie stars, actors, actresses, 1658 01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,160 Speaker 3: and even podcasters make fame to me, like it's not real. 1659 01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:41,479 Speaker 1: Well, I've seen people too that will get like ten 1660 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,200 Speaker 1: thousand followers and they all already switch up. I'm like, yo, 1661 01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 1: if your bank account still read zero, who gives a 1662 01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:48,200 Speaker 1: fuck about some likes? 1663 01:13:48,280 --> 01:13:51,120 Speaker 3: But the same shit is weird because the likes and 1664 01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:53,120 Speaker 3: all this stuff makes you think you're better than you 1665 01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:56,960 Speaker 3: are when there's so many more of you, So you 1666 01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:58,960 Speaker 3: really have to find a thing that makes you different. 1667 01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:02,120 Speaker 3: Like honest, I follow so many girls that are just 1668 01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:04,240 Speaker 3: hot and kind of look the same because of their 1669 01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:06,360 Speaker 3: clothes or their workouts or whatever. I don't think I 1670 01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:10,799 Speaker 3: know their names. Really. No. I remember sitting at Lucy 1671 01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:12,479 Speaker 3: and it's my favorite restaurant New York. I always go 1672 01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:14,800 Speaker 3: there in the East Village and I was looking at 1673 01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:17,040 Speaker 3: this girl and I tapped her and I was like, 1674 01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:19,160 Speaker 3: do I know you?

You're not 1680 01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:35,679 Speaker 3: even connecting to the content. Yeah, because it's just grid 1681 01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:38,519 Speaker 3: post after grid post up or something something.
