00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 4: Right?

54
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: But that's your trap.

55
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's how.

56
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: You make money.

57
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: Why did you say I'm gonna leave a barbershop to

58
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: go outside to give people hair cut for free.

59
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm for favor in North Carolina, which is Dreamville,

60
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 5: you know, Carolina rays Man. So come up from a

61
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 5: small town like that, you know. Barbara was my way out.

62
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 5: And then I moved to Lanta twenty nineteen from cutting

63
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 5: my mom's garage and favor of cutting my brother garage,

64
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 5: getting my license. And then eventually I knew if I

65
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 5: wanted to go to the place that I was dreaming about,

66
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 5: I gotta go somewhere that I could make that happen

67
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 5: at So Atlanta was gonna give me an opportunity to

68
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 5: jump in, meet people, network and just see success up close.

69
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 5: Like seeing a guy like you. I remember seeing you

70
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 5: at Bowlero years ago. You don't remember, but I remember

71
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 5: I seen you, and I remember I was like, Yo,

72
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 5: that's DC. I'm at Bowlero. I just moved to Atlanta.

73
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 5: I just seen DC at the Bolero, you know. So

74
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 5: stuff like that motivate me. When I get to see

75
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 5: that it's really possible, and a person like you, you

76
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 5: just a testimony to that.

77
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 4: I appreciate it.

78
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 5: So when the pandemic happened, I came to Atlanta with

79
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 5: a goal to cut all the rappers, cut all the

80
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 5: artists I can, and I did. So I got up there.

81
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 5: I'm charging one hundred dollars a haircut. It's it's cool.

82
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 5: It's a hustle, but for a purpose to inspire, I

83
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 5: wanted to do something that was more attainable to other people,

84
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 5: to everybody that could be watching. So when the pandemic happened,

85
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 5: you know, I couldn't do my thing. I couldn't cut

86
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 5: trap got shut down. So now what am I going

87
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 5: to do? I can't even get to a person. So

88
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 5: I just had to listen to what God was telling me.

89
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 5: Because I think pandemic was kind of a transformative time

90
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 5: for a lot of people. You really got to dig

91
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 5: deep and figure out what you're here to do. So

92
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 5: in that time, you know, I felt like I was

93
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: always called on to use my voice of some sort.

94
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 5: So during the pandemic, I started making small motivational videos.

95
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 5: Because if I can't cut hair or what else can

96
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 5: I do? Shit, I could talk, You'd have to put

97
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 5: me in the dirt for me to start talking, you know,

98
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 5: So I keep talking and I made small motivational videos.

99
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 5: People appreciated it.

100
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 4: So when we.

101
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 5: Got out, you know, I'm thinking I got a passion

102
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 5: to cut, but I got a purpose to inspire. How

103
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 5: do I do these two things other because they both

104
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 5: live together and they both can exist together. But I

105
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 5: came with an idea like, y'all go give a stranger

106
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 5: a cut, and that'll be my stage to speak. I

107
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 5: won't wait for another person to say, all you got

108
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 5: another experience, come talk to my school, or come here

109
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 5: speak on this stage, or and now we need you.

110
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 5: I'll create my stage. And that was just a barber chair.

111
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 5: That's what we do for others. You know, that's the

112
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 5: beauty of making somebody laugh for give them a fresh cut.

113
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 5: It's like we're here to serve other people. And you

114
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 5: know I gave somebody a free cut on the street,

115
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 5: and you changed my life.

116
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: A story, a story that can be impactful and that

117
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: you can learn from. Tell so many words, like so

118
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,160

00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: with the guard and all that. Because I'm been in

00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: both barber shops. Well, I'm like, ain't your clippers cut on?

123
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 5: You don't want to that you don't want to cut.

Speaker 1: want to you know what I'm saying, become a barber man.

128
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 5: I was just a hustler growing up, fourteen fifteen, get

129
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 5: my own money. And then you know, I wasn't into

130
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 5: school like most of us. I didn't want to go

131
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 5: to college. I didn't know what I was going to do.

132
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 5: I didn't have like, yo, I'm going to be a

133
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 5: doctor and aspire to be whatever. I just had a hustle.

134
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 5: My dad told me from a young age, a man

135
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 5: don't ask a mom for money. If you want to

136
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 5: get it, you gotta go get on your own. So shoot, man,

137
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 5: I was trying to figure out how to get it,

138
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 5: and I thought I had to go to college. I

139
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 5: thought I was getting forced to, so I asked my

140
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 5: my barber. Because I was working at the restaurant at

141
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 5: the time. I didn't want to work in the restaurant

142
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 5: no more. I didn't want to be the dude like

143
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 5: I was scared of the dudes in the back because

144
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 5: I ain't want to get to that age like I'm

145
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 5: in the back of a kitchen making pizza all day

146
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 5: like you know, and it's everybody got a hustle and

147
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 5: do what they got to do. But I was looking

148
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 5: at it like, man, I don't want to be stuck here,

149
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 5: you know. So I asked my barber, what shall do

150
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 5: to make money? He said, if you learn how to

151
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 5: cut hair, you make money for the rest of your life.

152
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 5: I was like, damn rest of my life and money

153
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 5: in the same sentence. I got to see what acted

154
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 5: on you. So I was that was gonna be my

155
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 5: hustle in college. So I started the beginning my senior

156
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 5: year of high school. And then by the time I

157
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 5: was gonna graduate, and I grew a passion for it.

158
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 5: And God told me that if I took it seriously,

159
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 5: with open doors for me. And that was the first

160

260
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:14,959

261
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,839

262
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,440

265
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 5: he was a board member on one of Obama's foundations

266
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 5: years ago, and I sent him the idea maybe six

267
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 5: months before he was going to be here for the riley,

268
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 5: and I was like, Yo, what do you think about this?

269
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 5: And he was like, I gotta do the right email

270
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 5: that could get it to the right person, to get

271
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 5: it to the right person to think about it, to

272
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 5: get it to the next person that might think about it.

273
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 5: So it was like four or five months of back

274
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 5: and forth on emails, man and God's grace, Bro, I

275
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 5: was manifesting it. I remember when we sent the initial email.

276
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 5: Every day but I would go to the sauna and

277
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 5: I would be by myself. I would say it out loud,

278
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 5: I'm a couple ofack. Obama, I'm about a couple of tomorrow.

279
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 5: Would say it every day, Bro. So it was a

280
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 5: long process. But anyway, they said I had ten they

281
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 5: said get to the door. I had forty five minutes.

282
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 5: So talk about being nervous. I had to be ready

283
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 5: at my chair and I had to be ready just

284
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 5: to like clippers ready, cameras rolling, and it was like

285
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 5: five minutes of a wait, but it felt like an hour.

286
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 5: And I swear I've never felt like I never passed

287
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 5: out of my life, but I promised you right there,

288
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 5: I felt like I was. And then you would hear

289
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 5: his voice on the other side of the door, and

290
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 5: you would tell he coming coming. Hear when you hear it,

291
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 5: when you hear his voice, it's like it's it's just

292
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 5: it's insane. So I still, can you cut Barack Obama's hair?
