1
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Should we do some Housewives University? I think so okay.

2
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: So I always think of Chara when I think of

3
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: business because I just remember she by Charrette. I love

4
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: Chara when she said, who go and check me boo?

5
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: I fell in love I when they let her go.

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: I always said to Andy, what the fuck? Why would

7
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: you fire Charat I just have always found her to

8
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: be wildly entertaining. So I don't know, Charae doesn't have

9
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: a great business sense. She's smart, she's funny, she's entertaining.

10
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: She's a great reality TV character. She doesn't realize but

11
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: to her to her credit, like Sonya, in some cases,

12
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: when you're on reality TV, you got to fucking fill

13
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: the airtime and you need quote unquote storylines, and if

14
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: you don't have enough going on, like you gotta kind

15
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: of find things to go on. And also if you

16
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 1: feel like the train is leaving the station and you're

17
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: not on it, like people are making all this money

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: which no one really was or is because of businesses

19
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: like I'm going to describe. But you know, when you

20
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: hear that I had the fastest going look, or Brandon History,

21
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: or I was on the cover of Forms, you're gonna

22
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: be like I need something.

23
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: Jill used to call me and say I need something.

24
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: Carol Radswell used to say I'm looking for white space,

25
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: and I don't even know what that meant, but she

26
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: meant like.

27
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: Where there's It's just ridiculous.

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: But so charre Uh hasn't had a lot of success

29
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: in business that I like her, so I hate grading hurt.

30
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, I want to fairly grade her test. But

31
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: I guess she had a book called Fiances and Side

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: Chicks of Hot Lanta.

33
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: That was a fiction book. So she published a book.

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: Publishing a book alone is positive, but I don't think

35
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: it was a big, big success and a big seller.

36
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: It's not that easy to sell books. There have been

37
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: very few housewives.

38
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: That have been successful at selling books, and the timing

39
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: is important. Brandy did well, Teresa did well with books.

40
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: Listen Beyonce, I had Darian Jean's. I don't think they succeeded.

41
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 1: Like you could be really famous and also not good

42
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: at another thing or not hit it in everything.

43
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: You know.

44
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: Kim Gardashian had quick trim the diet pills. They had

45
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: credit cards, they had hair extensions, they had tanning stuff,

46
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: they had makeup. They've been in ten thousand businesses that failed,

47
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: So even billionaires fail, Kylie Swim, we don't hear about

48
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: that that often, So even billionaires fail.

49
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 2: So it's okay.

50
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: I'm not being negative if I say that Arre's had

51
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: some fail businesses because she has chres not making a

52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: living at She Buy Charat her first fashion show. Uh

53
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: had no fashion, there were no designs, so the samples

54
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: were missing up until the day of the show. And

55
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: she did have a twenty piece collection for the show,

56
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: but you could tell it was being pulled together and

57
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: it's pressure.

58
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 2: Fourteen years later, she started she.

59
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: Buy Charrat back up and it was live and the

60
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: site crashed.

61
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: I'm sure she said it was due to overwhelming use

62
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 2: of the site.

63
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: But like, I don't, I've I don't think that really happened.

64
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: You know, that's something that's a great that would be

65
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 1: something great to say, I don't think so. Now she's

66
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: doing ath leisure wear, T shirts, hoodie's leggings, yoga mats, hats,

67
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 1: and people say it's Sheen look alike clothing, which it

68
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: probably is, but that doesn't mean it's not successful.

69
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 2: You know, everything is everything.

70
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: Every lipplus is the fucking same it's in a different package,

71
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: So don't get it twisted. Everything is sheen like clothing.

72
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: Everything is sheen like Lipplus. She could have sheen shit

73
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: with her own tag. Everything's branding. There's no difference the

74
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: really expensive shit and the cheap shit. For the most part,

75
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm finding and makeup and in many areas, so it

76
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if it's to look like clothing. I just

77
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: don't get the sense that it's a massive success. She's

78
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: probably making, you know, tens of thousands of dollars. She's

79
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: not making hundreds of thousands of dollars.

80
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 2: She's just not.

81
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: I'm just I just I know too much about this

82
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 1: and what the margins are, and she's not. But she

83
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 1: might be making nice, good change on the floor during

84
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: just sold mugs and sold T shirts, and she makes

85
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars on it, I know she does, But

86
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: she's not making millions of dollars. She's not making hundreds

87
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars. So and maybe sure we can

88
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: make a hundred thousand dollars, that's still a lot of money.

89
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: So we have to talk about what success is. But

90
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 1: it's not a very successful, scalable business where I can

91
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: find all these things that she's doing so well that

92
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: like we can scale and somebody else can can do

93
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: and she's gonna have, you know, a major, major brand.

94
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: That's just what That's my own opinion based on what

95
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: I'm seeing, and I don't know everything about it. She

96
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: had a boutique, Bella Azula boutique from two thousand and

97
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: three to two thousand and six. Kyle had a boutique.

98
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: Nini had a boutique.

99
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: It's a dog.

100
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,119
Speaker 1: It's a difficult, difficult thing, and she says she closed

101
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: the shop to take care of her kids and focus

102
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 1: on her clothing line.

103
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: She buys Charee. It's twenty twenty.

104
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: Three online and direct a consumer. She's got a retail space,

105
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: she got to pay that rent, she got to pay

106
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: someone to be there. If she's not there, sounds like

107
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: a shit show, nightmare. And it's definitely it's not a

108
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: chain store by now, so that's been pretty much a failure.

109
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: These are rumors.

110
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,119
Speaker 1: Allegedly she didn't pay corporate employment taxes to the state,

111
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: and she owed sixty six, six hundred and forty seven

112
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: dollars and twenty five cents to the state. A tax

113
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: leam is filed against the corporation. You know, these are

114
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: just not great clues. So it's a shit show to

115
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: open a store.

116
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 2: Not her fault. She tried. Like, I give her credit

117
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:44,799
Speaker 2: for trying.

118
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: It's not easy to run a business, have a family

119
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: beyond the show, and sometimes you got to be on

120
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: the show and get paid to be on the show.

121
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 2: It's hard to have a side hustle. It really is.

122
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: My brand is not as strong when I'm doing that

123
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: kind of television as when I'm not. I can't pay

124
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: Baby's didn't pay attention much. Plus all these businesses suck.

125
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: And then she's the executive producer of we TVs selling

126
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: it into atl She pitched producer Carlos King, who I

127
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: think I've met before, a show about African American real

128
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: estate agents in Atlanta.

129
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: I like that idea show is canceled. No season two.

130
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: Okay, I've had many failed talk shows and shows season two.

131
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: She got a show sold. I'm not going to call

132
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: that a failure. She got a show sold, it was

133
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: on the air. Maybe it wasn't great, but like that's

134
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: not a failure because she did it, she got up,

135
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: she did it, So I'm gonna give I give Sharrey

136
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: a lot of credit for trying a lot of different businesses.

137
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give her a C minus, maybe a D

138
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: plus because of getting to have those problems, I'll give it.

139
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: So I'll give her a C minus for business. And

140
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: this does not count getting on the Housewives and being

141
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: good at that, because that brings everybody's score up, So

142
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 1: her score would be, you know.

143
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: A B plus or something.

144
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna give her a C minus at Housewives University,
