So tell me a 85 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 4: little bit about your story and how you got into 86 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 4: this industry and the vision and the inspiration behind it. 87 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 1: Sure, so it all started, you know, twenty something years back. 88 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: You know, my friend Corbain Cooper and I, you know, 89 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 1: we're legacy guys selling weed, right, and we were back then, 90 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: we were selling the Mexican compressed brick weed. Yeah, you know, 91 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 1: and that's how you got the forty tons. I don't 92 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: think anyone could sell forty tons of a chronic back then. No, 93 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: it wasn't even made. How do you think the whole 94 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: market produced that much? But but yeah, so that that's 95 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: kind of where it originally started. And then you know, unfortunately, 96 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 1: you know, over the years and with prohibition and with 97 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: the way you know, the laws are on this plant, 98 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: you know, lots of people got locked up, many black 99 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: and brown, and a lot of folks you know, caught 100 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: life sentences or quasi life sentences due to technicalities like 101 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: you know, having a two strikes and so Corraine ended 102 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: up getting a life sentence. And in twenty twenty when 103 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: we you know, when right at the beginning of the pandemic, 104 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: you know, we had a couple of opportunities. There was 105 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: a lot of organizations out there that were advocating on 106 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: his behalf, from you know, Last Prisoner Project to Freedom 107 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: Grow Life for pot can do, Clemency Project, Mission Green 108 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: and many more. And what was happening was was each 109 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 1: one of those organizations was kind of like working in 110 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: silo separately, right, And what we were what I thought, 111 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: because this is a friend of mine of twenty nine years, 112 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: why don't we bring everyone together, bring everything together, and 113 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: let's create a brand. Right, And so we created a brand. 114 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: This was Corvain, Loril and myself. We decided on phone calls. 115 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: It's ironic that this is a financial Friday because one 116 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: of the main things that Corvain and I would do 117 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 1: we would trade stocks from prison. 118 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 4: No shit. Yeah, so he would, like you would basically 119 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 4: trade on his behalf. He'd call on the order. You'd 120 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 4: kind of strategize together exactly. 121 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: Because he's a great He'd be watching CNBC, you know 122 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: what I mean, because he was on the East Coast, 123 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: so he'd be watching CNBC at four or five in 124 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: the morning his time, and you know, just running the 125 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 1: plays and obviously you know it's secondhand information after the time, right, 126 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: but nonetheless, like after you watch over and over and 127 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: over and you read the Wall Street Journal and you're 128 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: talking with your guys, you become quasi good. Yeah, absolutely, 129 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: we run some loss some you know what I mean. Like, 130 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: you know, we took a couple hundred bucks and flipped 131 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: it up to quite a few thousand, gave it back, 132 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: brought it back again, you know. But during those phone calls, 133 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: we would have conversations about building something, and so we 134 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: got an opportunity to be able to do that, and 135 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 1: so we did. And you know, when it was asked 136 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: of me to you know, put together a brand, put together, 137 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: you know, a story, put together what it was, the 138 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: manufacturing partner at the time said, we'll do all the logistics, 139 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: back end stuff, but we're not going to build you 140 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: a brand. 141 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 4: You have to go do that. 142 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: So I spent the next three to four months trying 143 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: to figure out how to do that. And I worked 144 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: with a company called Media Jail, and Aaron and off 145 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: Taly donated their time and services and they helped build 146 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 1: what you now know as forty tons And so that 147 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: was the early early stages. And long story short, our 148 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: brand is about no one should be in prison for cannabis. 149 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: We try to make it not so sad, right, you know, 150 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: because we don't want to just talk about prison and 151 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: going to jail. We want to also talk about like 152 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: our products and what we're doing. But at the end 153 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 1: of the day, the sole reason for our brand and 154 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: the mission behind our brand is about out freeing the 155 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: cannabis prisoners and then when those prisoners get out, they're 156 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: given a second chance and help them level up. 157 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 4: And you know, obviously, when you when you're watching traditional 158 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 4: mainstream media, there's two sides, and there's the side that 159 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 4: that's talking about you know, criminals or criminals, you still 160 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 4: lock them up. You're not getting criminals out, You're getting 161 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 4: people that have got caught up in a system that 162 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 4: have that are nonviolent offenders that are literally behind bars 163 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: just for cannabis. Is that accurate? 164 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: Exactly? Like, you know, many people are in jail right 165 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: now for cannabis while we're making billions of dollars right 166 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: So using the word criminal is tough for for folks 167 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 1: that are incarcerated for cannabis because it's like they're not criminals, 168 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: right and like, you know, even criminals right in the 169 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: in the typical sense of the world, should have the 170 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: ability to rehabilitate, right And unfortunately in this country, there 171 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 1: is no rehabilitation. And so when there's dispensaries on every corner, 172 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: and your children are able to buy weed while you're 173 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: sitting in jail for it. It kind of hurts the heart, 174 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: you know, And so it's like, what do you do? 175 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: And like imagine, you know, imagine you were in jail 176 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: for doing a TV show on financial literacy, right, but 177 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: there's other people out there doing shows on financial literacy. 178 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: But you went to jail for doing a show on 179 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,960 Speaker 1: financial literacy because at the time that had happened, it 180 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: wasn't allowed. 181 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 4: Now, you know, I don't typically like to look into 182 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 4: I always say the front view, mayor is up bigger 183 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 4: for a reason than the rear view, because you want 184 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 4: to stay focused on what's in front of you. But 185 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 4: I think with you, it's important to understand the history 186 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 4: of of what your experience was with incarceration, why you 187 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 4: went away, how long, and then the journey that you 188 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 4: had to get your buddy out. Tell me about how 189 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 4: you guys ended up locked up. 190 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I mean, at the end of the day, 191 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,719 Speaker 1: you know, stuff that we had did years ago came 192 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,959 Speaker 1: back to haunt us. A childhood friend of ours, you 193 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: know what I mean, got in trouble and you know 194 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: it was a rap after that, and then you know, 195 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: This was years years ago. Like you know, I personally 196 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: hadn't even seen anyone for over seven years, and so 197 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: it was just a really unfortunate set of circumstances. And 198 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: what ended up happening was once once, you know, I 199 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: came home and I got back on my feet, and 200 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,600 Speaker 1: you know, Corvan and I were making money with the 201 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: stocks and doing different things like that. We were we 202 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: were given some opportunities, right, and so those opportunities manifested 203 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,199 Speaker 1: into what they are. Some did well, some didn't. Some 204 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: people had our best interests, some people did not have 205 00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: our best interests. But at the end of the day, 206 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: we learned from all of that. And one thing about 207 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: me is I'm an entrepreneur to the core. I eat 208 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: what I kill, and I've been eating what I've killed 209 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: what I kill for twenty five years. So I fully 210 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: truly understand what it means to be an entrepreneur. I 211 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: understand what it means to be paid. Last, I understand 212 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: what it means to really build something. Right, driving uber 213 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: is not an entrepreneur. You're working for yourself, but that's 214 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: not an entrepreneur, right. Being an entrepreneur is when everything 215 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: rises and falls on you and you take care of 216 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: the system before you take care of yourself. And so 217 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: with that knowledge, I wanted to help build something that 218 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: had meaningful impact. And I don't have a million dollars. 219 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: I'm not highly capitalized. You know, talk about social equity, right, 220 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: we are social equity, but unfortunately in order to be 221 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,679 Speaker 1: in this industry, you need to be capitalized. So what 222 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: could we do differently? That's cool, that's fun, that still 223 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: puts out good products, has a message, is different, looks different, 224 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: does things that are different. And so that's how we 225 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: came up with the concept for forty tons, what. 226 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 4: Was the total amount that you spent behind bors? 227 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: So I did a total of all my tenure a 228 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: little less than five years total, but on that last 229 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: one it was I did two years in jail and 230 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: about a little slightly less two years on house arrest. 231 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 4: Now, your business partner, if I read correctly, he actually 232 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 4: was part in by Trump. Correct. 233 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, he did nine years on a life sentence. And 234 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: if it wasn't for former President Donald Trump, he'd still 235 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: be sitting in jail right now. So you know, we 236 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 1: honor and are thankful for what he did for us. 237 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: You know, we don't get involved in the politics, good 238 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: or bad, We're we're appreciative and you know, we retake 239 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: the face value at what it is, you know, and 240 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: you'll never ever hear us bad mouthing Trump or saying anything. 241 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: And plus, you know, my family always used to tell me, like, 242 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 1: if you don't got nothing nice to say, just don't 243 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: say nothing. Yeah. 244 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 4: So, and on the politics side of it, So the 245 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 4: current administration, I know, when they first got in, it 246 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 4: was very big on we're going to decriminalize it. There 247 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 4: was talk about that as every politician does, right because 248 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 4: as I said on the show yesterday, I think they're 249 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 4: going for the stoner vote. They say that at the beginning, 250 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 4: hoping you'll forget at the end of the four years 251 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 4: and from Obama didn't do shit, you know, Trump did, 252 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 4: I think most in terms of especially pardoning and getting 253 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 4: these non violent guys out. 254 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: Not only did he do that, you know, and a 255 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: lot of people won't tell you this, but Trump is 256 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: a major major person with criminal justice reform with the 257 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 1: First Step Back. Yeah, lots of guys got out of 258 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: jail from the First Step Act and that was probably 259 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: some of the biggest legislation that went through the White 260 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: House to help prisoners, not just cannabis guys that were 261 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 1: getting fifty sixty years for selling an ounce of coke. Right, 262 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: things like that, like the First Step Act did a lot. So, 263 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: you know, left, right, conservative, liberal, Republican, Democrat. They all 264 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: have their faults, they do, you know what I mean, 265 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: each one's have it. You know, if you're fiscally conservative, 266 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: you know you're going to move to the right. If 267 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: you're more socially liberal, you're going to move to the left. 268 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,840 Speaker 1: At the end of the day, I like to base 269 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: my politics on individual issues, absolutely, and cannabis is important, 270 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: and so was financial finance. Uh. 271 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 4: In the current administration, there was some uh, there was 272 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 4: some news and a lot of hoorrah about the last 273 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 4: round that he did by then dead and but it 274 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 4: was it was like one hundred people, and it was 275 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 4: like if you have these these days, but there's still 276 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 4: literally millions of people locked up for the same infractions. Right, 277 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 4: So there was really nothing done. 278 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: Let me let me, let me, let me back up, 279 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: because I don't ever want to just say something's completely bullshit, 280 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 1: but things can be bullshit when it's like it'd be 281 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: like this whole floor if you mopped it spick and 282 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: span in this two feet. You can say you clean 283 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: the floor, but it's bullshit if the whole floor is 284 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,679 Speaker 1: still there, you know what I'm saying. But but I 285 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: don't want to take away from the fact that that 286 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 1: part okay. So, you know, as it relates to overall 287 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: clemency's and pardons and things like that, you know, the 288 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: current administration is doing things towards that I personally think 289 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 1: that they could just be doing more right, especially for 290 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,719 Speaker 1: you know, cannabis offenders. Right, like they did push the 291 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: whole thing. I don't believe they should be in prison 292 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 1: this that. Then they switched it to no one should 293 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: be in jail for smoking weed, right, then they switched 294 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 1: it to no one should be in jail for possessing weed. 295 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: But no one's in jail for those things. Right. They 296 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: may get arrested for them, but they're released. People don't 297 00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 1: go to prison for. 298 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 4: Talking about prison time. And that's something they didn't exactly 299 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 4: And then you really look at it and it's like, dude, 300 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 4: why don't we just start with rescheduling it. 301 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: You know. 302 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 4: One of the things I've learned through the Master Mentor's 303 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 4: Live program is, as our great speaker Marcus, when I 304 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 4: was out in Dallas. I learned that, you know, he 305 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 4: really broke it down. And it's like, this government is 306 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 4: telling you that fentanyl, at meth and heroin and cocaine 307 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 4: is better for you, literally better for you than marijuana. 308 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 4: And it's just something that that blows my mind. 309 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: Man. It's a you know what it is. It's it's 310 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: it's what your show is based around. Yeah, it's finances. 311 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: Everything is to do with find Tony, you know, just 312 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: Chris over here in the corner. For me, I don't 313 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 1: even think that it's a reschedule, but just a deschedule. 314 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, correct, if they're looking to put it on Schedule three, 315 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 3: which means you'd have to get it through a. 316 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 4: Pharmacy, dude. And here's the thing. Get that whole list 317 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 4: that I just described, from fentanyl to heroin to marijuana, 318 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 4: ox cond to I'm sorry, to cocaine to ox con. 319 00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 4: What's not on any of that schedule is tobacco or alcohol. 320 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 4: Like that's not even on the fronting list, you know 321 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:56,240 Speaker 4: what I mean. 322 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: That's because of the lobby, right, so you know, in 323 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: one hundred years will probably be in the same position 324 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: as alcohol and tobacco is. But we're in the infant stages. 325 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: And you know, the first five to ten years of 326 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,320 Speaker 1: prohibition with alcohol was probably gnarly, and it was in 327 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: a time when there was no technology, and it was 328 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: in the twenties and thirties, and so evolution has to 329 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: catch up to where we're at. You know, I'll say 330 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: this one percent agree with with with Chris about descheduling 331 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: and not rescheduling, But I think it has more to 332 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,200 Speaker 1: do with the infrastructure that's been put in place to 333 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: decriminalize this plan, to lock people up, to get the 334 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 1: tax money from those things, to pay for all of 335 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: the different agencies to police it all. Like, that's a 336 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: whole infrastructure. If you're gonna if you're gonna disrupt that, 337 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: you have to be able to figure out how to 338 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: resupplement those things. So then that way there's not a 339 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: loss on that side, because if you were gonna lose, 340 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 1: you're gonna fight no matter what, even if what you're 341 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 1: fighting for is wrong. It's what you believe in and 342 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna fight to the death for because it's it's you. 343 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: So we have to put ourselves in the position of 344 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: chess players, and like, how can we all win and 345 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: not just checkmate the other side. 346 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely, you guys, we're gonna take a break here. 347 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 4: We're here with Anthony from forty Tonks.

We're now 371 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 4: back here with Anthony Allegrady from forty Tons, a social 372 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 4: equity brand built around getting prisoners out that are there 373 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,959 Speaker 4: for non criminal activity that revolved around the plant. I mean, basically, 374 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,360 Speaker 4: they're in prison because of a plant accord, an industry 375 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 4: that's being made legal clear across the country, and corporations 376 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,919 Speaker 4: for making billions offut before I go into the cunty 377 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,680 Speaker 4: Friday five talking about Freddie, do you feel like right 378 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 4: now the average person that's getting caught up in the 379 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 4: game that they have adequate legal representation. I see so 380 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 4: many of these kids get caught up with a public 381 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 4: defenders who just jam these deals down these kids' throat. 382 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a great point. I don't think that they 383 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 1: have access. That there's a problem with access in this country. 384 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,920 Speaker 1: To the core on everything, social equity is about access. 385 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: Lending is about access, right, knowledge is about access, and 386 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: so in these marginalized communities, typically ones that are poor, 387 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 1: and you know a lot of them black brown minorities. 388 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: These marginalized communities don't have access, and so legal representation 389 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: is just as important. And not only that, not only 390 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: just having access, but then even having access to good lawyers, 391 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: so even paid attorneys that aren't going to rob you 392 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: right right. 393 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,560 Speaker 4: Absolutely having a network that you can rely on, I 394 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 4: think is really important. That's one of the things we 395 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 4: pride ourselves on. You know, we always talk about master 396 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 4: mentors live. But the reason I do talk about that 397 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 4: a lot isn't just because I'm involved with it, but 398 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 4: it's because I do believe that mentors can make a 399 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,239 Speaker 4: world of difference. I feel like every incarcerated person I've 400 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,880 Speaker 4: ever had on the show or as a friend will 401 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 4: always tell me, man if I had the right mentors 402 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 4: early on, even in the right game, I would have 403 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 4: gotten further, I would have done better, I would have 404 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,159 Speaker 4: avoided certain pitfalls. Accept So I that's something that I 405 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 4: that I have a passion for us well. And this 406 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 4: is a story that I actually haven't I don't think 407 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,920 Speaker 4: I've shared on air. Not too many people know, but 408 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 4: about two years ago, dude, I ended up with the 409 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 4: double fell and it had never been arrested in my life. 410 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:16,120 Speaker 4: And I would travel to Texas to speak about once 411 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 4: a month. I would have different events and networking groups 412 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 4: out there, and I would always bring like, you know, 413 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 4: these bad gummies or chocolate bars for my buddies that 414 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 4: you know, Texas is very very restrictive, sticking in my 415 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 4: check in, YadA, YadA YadA. One time I get there, 416 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 4: the suber driver picks me up really nice, attractive older lady, 417 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 4: probably in her mid sixties, and we get to talking 418 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,879 Speaker 4: and she says, thank you for this great conversation. You know, 419 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 4: I have stage four terminal cancer. I'm usually zoked out 420 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 4: on oxies, et cetera.

They privatized prisons, which, if you 487 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 4: understand businesses and capitalism, if you have a hotel room 488 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,239 Speaker 4: with a thousand rooms in it, you got to keep 489 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 4: him filled up, to pay the bills, to pay the 490 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 4: security guards, to pay all this stuff. And that's really 491 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 4: where I discovered a man being in there lock up, 492 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 4: there'd be this kid that was eighteen years old begging 493 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 4: his mom for two hundred bucks bail. I probably bailed 494 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 4: out like six kids just be I just felt sorry 495 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 4: for him. One kid was like driving to his McDonald's job. 496 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 4: They pulled him over for a busted tailight at two 497 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 4: pm in the afternoon. Who gets pulled over for that? 498 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 4: Because he's eighteen and there's a seventeen year old the car, 499 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 4: they have the right to search him because he had 500 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 4: a bottle of xanax with his mom's name on it 501 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 4: in his mom's car, with the prescription bottle that he's 502 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 4: driving his mom's to McDonald's job.

They arrest all the kids in the car, 504 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,199 Speaker 4: all a gang activity because you have other kids with you. 505 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: Just these obscure laws that the goodness. 506 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,200 Speaker 4: So these kids are getting caught up for a joint 507 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,520 Speaker 4: kid can't even get a job at McDonald's. You know, 508 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 4: the DA is gonna just probably jam down some kind 509 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 4: of probationary shit. They're gonna fail over some other bullshits, 510 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 4: and now you're stuck in the system. That's where I 511 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 4: really understood. Man. It's easy to judge it from the 512 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 4: outside and to say, oh, you know, these are criminals anyway, 513 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 4: But I really saw the pain and damage that the 514 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 4: system can do. And like you said, they there was 515 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 4: more drug dealers being drug deals being done in that 516 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 4: court room, in that jail room, you know, or when 517 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,200 Speaker 4: I was in my little cubes that I've ever seen 518 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,920 Speaker 4: on any street corner. You know, there's tons being moved 519 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 4: in there, no pun intended. 520 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: Right, No, that's that's the issue, man. You know, these 521 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: are systemic problems at scale, and you know, we're not 522 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: going to solve anything overnight. But I mean, if we 523 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: can put social good back into the community, then that's 524 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: what we're here to do at forty tons, is you know, 525 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: do social good help folks and make a profit off 526 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: of what we help build. 527 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know. And to kind of wrap up 528 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 4: that story, just thinking back right now, I had, you know, 529 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 4: spent fifteen twenty thousand on attorneys, took two and a 530 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 4: half years of me flying back and forth just to 531 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,919 Speaker 4: get them all dismissed and drop down to one misdemeanor. 532 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 4: But when you really think about it, it's like most 533 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 4: kids don't have that No, that's you know, or they 534 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 4: missed one court date. Now you're back to a fellow 535 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 4: me and then and then you're just caught up in 536 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 4: the system.

This is 540 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 4: a This is a round of questions I ask every 541 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 4: guest that comes on the show because I find that 542 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 4: entrepreneurs always have great stories that can inspire others on 543 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 4: how to make money. The first question I got for you, 544 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 4: Anthony Cooo of forty tons, is what was the best 545 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 4: investment you've ever made? 546 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 1: Man, I got I probably take the cake for the 547 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,359 Speaker 1: best investment that's ever been. 548 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 4: On your show, you personally investing in yourself. 549 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:47,760 Speaker 1: No, I'm going to tell you what the what the 550 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,239 Speaker 1: investment was. But I don't think that anyone is going 551 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 1: to be able to be kick wait for this one. 552 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 1: So and maybe people have made more money. So, but 553 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 1: but the percentage multiplier is where I think as where 554 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: I'm winning. So a buddy of mine was investing in 555 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: penny stocks and doing little things like this, and you know, 556 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: Penny stocks are bullshit, and everyone knows, you know the 557 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: pink sheets. Maybe you know you ten ex your money, right, 558 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: so you buy one hundred dollars worth and maybe you 559 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: get to you know, a thousand bucks, and if you 560 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 1: ten x, that's great if you're lucky, I mean, if 561 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 1: you're lucky. So I bought some penny stocks that were 562 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: at point zero zero zero one of a percent worth 563 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: of penny stocks. I bought one hundred dollars worth. That 564 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: was a million shares. That son of a gun stock 565 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: went from point zero zero zero one two nine cents. 566 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: Oh shit, Now I sold seventy five percent of it 567 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: when it got to twenty x. So I cashed out 568 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: for two grand on one hundred dollars investment, seventy five 569 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: percent of it because I didn't think it was gonna 570 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 1: keep going right like that?

But then we also have 853 00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: our products in California, which we have different strains. We 854 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 1: have eight quarters and habs that you can get at 855 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: dispensaries and it's you know, different strains depending on what's 856 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: going on. I believe right now we're on ease and 857 00:38:59,160 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 1: you can get it's a cereal milk and RS eleven. 858 00:39:01,800 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: But the and in New York we have the same thing. 859 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 1: We have four gram eighths and we have you know, 860 00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:07,799 Speaker 1: different strains that are out there. 861 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 4: And if somebody wants to know which dispensary they can 862 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 4: find it, is there an easy way that they can 863 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,080 Speaker 4: look that up. So we're at in California, California or 864 00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 4: New York if we have a listen, yes, both sides. 865 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 1: So actually New York. So that's I actually are are 866 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,520 Speaker 1: working on that. I'm I'm literally working on getting a 867 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,399 Speaker 1: store located on my new on my new website because 868 00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: we are so multifaceted and we're switching software platforms. But 869 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,320 Speaker 1: for right now in California, we're on ease, Okay, So 870 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,360 Speaker 1: we're really focused on on on on developing that relationship 871 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,520 Speaker 1: and then scaling out with dispensaries because as you know, 872 00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: in California, a lot of people don't pay their bills, 873 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,560 Speaker 1: So it's not even worth putting your stuff in a 874 00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,440 Speaker 1: dispensary if you're not even gonna get paid on it 875 00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: here in California. So it's really about picking the right partnerships, 876 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 1: and we're in the process of doing that. New York. 877 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: We're in all the major dispensaries from turt Bros. Strained Stars, 878 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:59,600 Speaker 1: Housing Works, there's a bunch of them, but much love 879 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: to them, and yeah, but we're really pushing hard our 880 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: direct to consumer product and we're in a ton of 881 00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 1: smoke shops and CBD stores in the state of Minnesota. 882 00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,400 Speaker 4: Now again, you know, speaking out in Dallas, and there 883 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 4: was a lot of kids really understanding about you know, 884 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 4: at some point it would be federally legal, but obviously 885 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 4: Texas is very restrictive. From the story I just met, sure, 886 00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:19,239 Speaker 4: is this a. 887 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,000 Speaker 1: Product that is legally be sold in Yes, it would, 888 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,239 Speaker 1: And so when we're looking for wholesale and distribution for 889 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,720 Speaker 1: this particular product all throughout the United States. We literally 890 00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 1: just got everything all rocking and rolling. We launched about 891 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:31,839 Speaker 1: ten days ago. 892 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 4: Excellent. 893 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 1: And so this is our direct to consumer play. Texas 894 00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: is good, Georgia is good, Wisconsin is good. These are 895 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:40,840 Speaker 1: places that are non REX states. We would love to 896 00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,919 Speaker 1: work with those states, especially places like Texas where there's 897 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 1: a big, you know, social justice component that's needed. 898 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,840 Speaker 4: Master Mentor's Live students. You heard it here first. This 899 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 4: is a product. You guys heard me talk about it. 900 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,760 Speaker 4: How there are legitimate brands that you guys could help support, 901 00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 4: promote white label, et cetera. Give them a call. Now, 902 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 4: where can people get a hold of you or the 903 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:00,880 Speaker 4: brand or keep an eye on it if they want 904 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:01,320 Speaker 4: to support it? 905 00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:03,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, so every major social media platform is the same. 906 00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 1: It's for zero t o ns brand. That's forty tons brand. 907 00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,040 Speaker 1: And then you can go to forty tons dot co 908 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,040 Speaker 1: as our main website, and then our the products are 909 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 1: forty tons products dot com. 910 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 4: Excellent. Now, before we leave, man, I want to make 911 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 4: sure I leave enough time to talk about this phenomenal 912 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,960 Speaker 4: project that you semi launched. I love the fundamentals, I 913 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,280 Speaker 4: love the story behind it, but in your own words, 914 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,400 Speaker 4: tell me, tell me what that is, because I think 915 00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,040 Speaker 4: this is something I'd love for the audience to get 916 00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:29,640 Speaker 4: behind as well. 917 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, So basically what we did was when the nft 918 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,080 Speaker 1: ERA was going really heavy, you know, a couple of 919 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 1: years back, I came up with a concept and an 920 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 1: idea that I wanted to, you know, do something different 921 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: than just creating an ape or a tiger or a 922 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 1: pigeon or a bird. Like everybody was doing right, everyone 923 00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 1: was you know, bord Apes was the big one, Blue chimps, 924 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 1: whoever it was right. And I commissioned an artist named 925 00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:00,120 Speaker 1: Ryan Strauss and we worked an executive produced artwork on 926 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,960 Speaker 1: individual prisoners. So I got the cannabis prisoner's picture. I 927 00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 1: picked ten of them at the time, and we hand 928 00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:08,600 Speaker 1: drew them so as you can see, like this is 929 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,719 Speaker 1: dose now, you know, Raphael Hernandez. 930 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 4: I met Kevin Allen here. You got their federal rag number, 931 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,839 Speaker 4: you got their LIFs there. This gentleman's there, he's got life. 932 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 1: And Kevin's there for like some bullshit like he's just 933 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,759 Speaker 1: a career. He got career criminals out and like like 934 00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: you know, an ounce of weed got him life type thing. Unreal, 935 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,000 Speaker 1: you know, Parker Coleman is doing sixty years, Mohammed Tai 936 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,000 Speaker 1: here really good brother doing twenty five years. Edwin Ruby's 937 00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: look for his book. It's coming out in the next 938 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:39,160 Speaker 1: month under forty tons Publishing. And so all these guys, 939 00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:43,279 Speaker 1: you know, have ungodly sentences. So I made an NFT 940 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 1: project seventeen hundred and ten NFTs right for seven ten 941 00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: like oil. And the thought process behind it was at 942 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,759 Speaker 1: the time eth was going for point two point three 943 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: eighth which is about two to three hundred USD at 944 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 1: the time, And so what I was thinking was, well, 945 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 1: how can we raise money for these guys, How can 946 00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:00,800 Speaker 1: we get our brand out there? How can we monetize 947 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 1: off this booming NFT crypto thing but then still have 948 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,600 Speaker 1: utility and like actually put it towards something good. So 949 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 1: the thought was, you know, making individual wallets for each 950 00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:13,880 Speaker 1: one of these prisoners, cold wallets, right. I hit them up, 951 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 1: ask them, who do you want me to give the 952 00:43:15,840 --> 00:43:18,320 Speaker 1: wallet two and the secret peak two? Or do you 953 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,440 Speaker 1: want me to put it in a safe deposit box 954 00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:21,880 Speaker 1: and when you come home give it to you one 955 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: or the other. And so if you take ten prisoners 956 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: divided by seventeen ten. It's approximately one hundred and seventy 957 00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 1: individual NFTs. What's one seventy times three hundred bucks. You're 958 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 1: like close to thirty racks something like that, right, more? Yes, 959 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 1: I think even more? Right so, so yeah, because two 960 00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:41,839 Speaker 1: hundred would be sixty thousand, So yeah, like right around 961 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 1: fifty something thousand dollars. That's just in the first round 962 00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:47,719 Speaker 1: of the NFT. That's not even resale. So half goes 963 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,560 Speaker 1: to forty tons foundation. The other half goes to the prisoner. 964 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 1: So that's thirty thousand dollars of what some of the 965 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,440 Speaker 1: value that each prisoner would have. So it was almost 966 00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,760 Speaker 1: like a donation investment for the NFT. But in addition 967 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:04,280 Speaker 1: to that, I would connect you with the individual prisoner, 968 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 1: so there'd be one hundred and seventy new people that 969 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:12,359 Speaker 1: knew about your your situation, and then we would they 970 00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: would write them and we would facilitate that through a 971 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,840 Speaker 1: form where we would print out the letters, send it 972 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 1: on their behalf. And then now you get the physically, 973 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:22,480 Speaker 1: So if you got the Pedro Moreno NFT, you got 974 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 1: connected with Pedro Moreno, and then we expanded on it, 975 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:30,320 Speaker 1: and you know when the market ended up, you know, 976 00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 1: going down. We ended up doing postcards. We ended up 977 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,360 Speaker 1: reaching out to a company called Hemper. Hemper put up 978 00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: ten thousand rolling trades just for a small logo on 979 00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 1: the tray because they believed that no one should be 980 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 1: in prison for a plant. And so we repurposed the 981 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,880 Speaker 1: art onto that and we give that as promo units. 982 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,759 Speaker 1: And so it was just a really cool concept of 983 00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: being able to raise money, make money, and also have 984 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:56,160 Speaker 1: a massive awareness campaign that people were still locked up 985 00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,680 Speaker 1: over the plant because one thing about crypto, crypto and cannabis, 986 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 1: there was a big intersection in there, and because you 987 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 1: had the Crypto Cannabis Club, you had a bunch of 988 00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:05,040 Speaker 1: other people, and so we wanted to be able to 989 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,279 Speaker 1: kind of bring that crypto cannabis community together. And we 990 00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,920 Speaker 1: were this close. We did the solidity contract and everything, 991 00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 1: and then the market took a shit and I ended 992 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 1: up not putting it out. 993 00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 4: Well, I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, 994 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:18,759 Speaker 4: and I think the timing, for whatever reason, if it 995 00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,840 Speaker 4: was off, I love the fact that you still have 996 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 4: that set up. You've moved, You've pivoted a little bit. Yeah, 997 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,680 Speaker 4: but I think that that's a project I think once 998 00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,080 Speaker 4: everything kind of shakes out with the NFT market, it'll, 999 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,480 Speaker 4: as we saw with every other industry, it'll kind of 1000 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,160 Speaker 4: go up, it'll go down, and it'll kind of come back. 1001 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 4: But I think that there's going to be a variation 1002 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 4: of this that you're going to continue with down the line, 1003 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:39,280 Speaker 4: because it's a it's a really I mean, I've seen thousands, 1004 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,799 Speaker 4: literally thousands of different projects and it's like, all right, dude, 1005 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,920 Speaker 4: it's milf coin, and it's this coin. Literally there was 1006 00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,840 Speaker 4: one that but nobody ever actually had a utility that 1007 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,040 Speaker 4: was tangible that you could say, all right, at least 1008 00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 4: this prisoner is going to get some love from the outside. 1009 00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 4: So that's a that's a phenomenal project. And if you guys, 1010 00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,000 Speaker 4: these these these trays are pretty dope. If you guys 1011 00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,319 Speaker 4: just make a small donation of the foundation, just screens him, 1012 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 4: screenshop me, we'll make sure you guys get one of 1013 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 4: these anywhere any. 1014 00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,399 Speaker 1: Paid the costs of shipping right ten to fifteen bucks, 1015 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,720 Speaker 1: and we'll get you some postcards and some of these trades. 1016 00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,799 Speaker 4: That'd be really cool. Man. Well, I appreciate you coming 1017 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:12,520 Speaker 4: on the show. Anything else you want to share, any 1018 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,239 Speaker 4: other timelines or website, anything else we can kind of 1019 00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:16,840 Speaker 4: help you promote.

So two things. One, we have 1022 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,920 Speaker 1: what's called the Level Up Career Conference. The Level of 1023 00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:29,920 Speaker 1: Career Conference is our flagship event program initiative. It doesn't 1024 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 1: mean anything if you get somebody out of jail from 1025 00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 1: a life sentence and then they go right back to 1026 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,719 Speaker 1: prison because they don't get the education, the resources and 1027 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,360 Speaker 1: the tools to better themselves. And at the Level Up 1028 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,279 Speaker 1: Career Conference, that's what we do. We bring in all 1029 00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 1: the different brands we did, bring in all the companies 1030 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 1: that are hiring. We do have an expungement clinic. We 1031 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,120 Speaker 1: have people speaking on stage. We get about a thousand 1032 00:46:50,120 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 1: people that come out and it's pretty cool when we 1033 00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,239 Speaker 1: do them all over the country. It's a small event. 1034 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 1: It's a small event in the sense of a conference, 1035 00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:57,000 Speaker 1: but it's a big event. 1036 00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:58,640 Speaker 4: I mean a thousand and still a pretty good nuffort 1037 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:00,000 Speaker 4: to hit. And when's the next one? 1038 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,600 Speaker 1: So the next one we're working right now because we 1039 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 1: are trying to find a venue. It's the only place 1040 00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 1: in the country that it's so hard to find a 1041 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,680 Speaker 1: venue is New York. But the next one will be 1042 00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:10,839 Speaker 1: New York in the in the late in the mid 1043 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 1: to late fall. But if we can't secure a venue 1044 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,320 Speaker 1: within the next two weeks, we'll probably do it in 1045 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 1: the early spring in New York. 1046 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,719 Speaker 4: Now, why New York is that a hotbed for. 1047 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,080 Speaker 1: It's a hotbed for for for cannabis. There's a lot 1048 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 1: of jobs that are that are coming out there. It 1049 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,720 Speaker 1: covers the tri state area, so you hit New Jersey, 1050 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,279 Speaker 1: New York, Connecticut, all those places in one place. We're 1051 00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 1: there and it's a place that the war on drugs 1052 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 1: has hit pretty hard, so it's a perfect place to 1053 00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:38,840 Speaker 1: do it. It's just you know, it's two hundred thousand 1054 00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,719 Speaker 1: dollars for a venue in New York, whereas you know 1055 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,680 Speaker 1: in la you could get a venue for twenty grand 1056 00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 1: and it'll fit a thousand people. 1057 00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, So that's that's. 1058 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,719 Speaker 1: That's that.
