Thank you very much, thank 371 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,399 Speaker 1: you very much. Exactly. So, when when you when you 372 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: when your people talk to you and you're you're you're 373 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: walking testimonial and that the cut, you know, losing ten 374 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: pounds in ten days, there's always naysayers, how do you 375 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: how do you get around that to saying, well, you 376 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: know you had a trainer, you know, more like you 377 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: had a trainer. Well, I'm a big proponent of trainers 378 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,159 Speaker 1: because just just the unfortunate reality of life is that 379 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: sometimes people push us harder than we can just push ourselves, 380 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,560 Speaker 1: especially when you get into a gym. You know, you 381 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 1: get into a gym and you do just enough for 382 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,400 Speaker 1: you think you can't go anymore than you kind of stop, 383 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 1: but the trainer kind of pushes you over the top. 384 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: So I'm a big proponent of trainers. Um And in 385 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 1: terms of the book, um and and people, all the naysayers. 386 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: It's with anybody and with anything, you have to be 387 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: in the right frame of mind to really want to 388 00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:49,719 Speaker 1: do it, to really want to make a change. Um. 389 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people that kind of just 390 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 1: sit back and say, oh, well, um, they didn't do this, 391 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,800 Speaker 1: this is easy or whatever. But that's because sometimes they're 392 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,119 Speaker 1: not in the right from the mind to make a 393 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: change that they want in their life. I've I'm a 394 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: person believe that anybody can do whatever they want if 395 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: they put their mind to it. And none of that 396 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: sounds like a cliche, um, but it is really true. 397 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: So when people really make up their minds now you 398 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: know what, I'm gonna get this weight off of me, 399 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 1: They'll do it.

I'm here for speaker certification training with 512 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: Dr Eric Thomas. He has a program called Game Changers, 513 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: which basically as a certification that allows us to become 514 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: the next e t s. So he's training us and 515 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 1: him and a host of coaches UH given given to 516 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: us and pouring into us so that we can become 517 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,720 Speaker 1: the best speakers that we can be. Okay, cool. So 518 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,959 Speaker 1: you in town and we found out about you, say, hey, 519 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 1: won't you just stay in town a little bit longer 520 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: and let's come see us live and stue you. But 521 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 1: when I when our relationship started, our first time I 522 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: gave it to you was LinkedIn Expert because I just 523 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 1: came on. I just started using LinkedIn because everybody knows 524 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: about Twitter, you know, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram. I have three 525 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: accounts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and then but LinkedIn 526 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: and May of last year I discovered it. I always 527 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: had my staff had had given me account, but I 528 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: never used it, Why should I be using that? So 529 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: you should be using it for three reasons, and I 530 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 1: call it the three abilities Visibility, credibility, and profitability and start. So, 531 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 1: if you're in business and even in yourself in terms 532 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 1: of radio show, if no one knows you exist, they 533 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,720 Speaker 1: won't listen to you. If you're if you're looking to 534 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: attract new clients, if they don't know you exist, they 535 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: can't pay you. And so the key for us as entrepreneurs, 536 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: even as those who are job seekers, we need to 537 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: be visible so that we can attract our ideal client 538 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: that will allow us to operate in our gifts. So 539 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 1: LinkedIn allows us to do that. So it was it's 540 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 1: really interesting. So you're telling me LinkedIn is more of 541 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: a career account. It's well, it started out as a 542 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: career building website, so it allowed for job seekers to 543 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: connect with recruiters, and then it just exploded into a 544 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 1: marketplace and so as a result, more and more people 545 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 1: start to use it to do business, to exchange ideas 546 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 1: and to obtain employment. Great now, now when the person 547 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: who's a first time user, you know two LinkedIn, what 548 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: what what were the amateur steps? You say, Well, your lamp. 549 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: What should they do well? The goal is to become 550 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: an all Star, So to have an all Star LinkedIn profile, 551 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 1: how you get becoming The way to do that is 552 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: you must it. A LinkedIn provides you with the steps 553 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,159 Speaker 1: to do that. But I always teach my clients that 554 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: you want to first make sure you have a professional 555 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: head shot because your head shot is like your calling card, 556 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: because that's the difference in You're not gonna be posting 557 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: no no logos of your fraternity baby pictures or flowers 558 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: or your food or anything like that unless it's you. 559 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: You got something, absolutely, but but you want to. But 560 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,520 Speaker 1: you want to it's your It's about you. Yeah, it's 561 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: about you. It's about your personal brand. And I think 562 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: everybody has to understand it. They are a brand. I 563 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: don't care if you are a doctor, if you're a lawyer, 564 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: if you're Indian chief. You have a brand. And your 565 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:48,960 Speaker 1: brand is what's going to attract people who need your 566 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,440 Speaker 1: product or service. And so you're having your professional profile 567 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 1: picture is important. The second thing is having a headline 568 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,880 Speaker 1: that allows for you to attract your ideal client. Most 569 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 1: people will put host that radio station right and and 570 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: they think that that's okay, But if your goal is 571 00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: to attract a specific target, you want to make sure 572 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: you put a value statement that allows for the people 573 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 1: you want to work with to see what you bring 574 00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,760 Speaker 1: to the table, what result you bring in. So, if 575 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 1: you look at my LinkedIn profile, you'll see LinkedIn locksmith 576 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,719 Speaker 1: and I talk about how I help solopreneurs, sales professionals, 577 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,959 Speaker 1: and students to make more money with LinkedIn. So if 578 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000 Speaker 1: somebody looks at that, then I say, huh, I need 579 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 1: to connect with this guy. And that's the first hook 580 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: that you want to be able to put out there 581 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: for people to connect with you. Okay. With with that 582 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: being said, now you're LinkedIn guy, Okay, people come around. 583 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,680 Speaker 1: I've been you know, I've grown from I think I'm 584 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: liking about he says, may you know, and I've noticed 585 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 1: that I'm starting to get a certain type of people 586 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: that you know, people in the entertainment industry. So so 587 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: my so my brand people are associating me with that 588 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,719 Speaker 1: and they're joining me me to be connected. That's the key, 589 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,360 Speaker 1: that's the key. But but to go further than that, 590 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: because we don't want to just connect with everybody, right, 591 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,400 Speaker 1: we want to vet everyone because well, So what I 592 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 1: do is that that's the key word on social media. 593 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,120 Speaker 1: You just won't like people follows, People want likes and 594 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: followers and and and as my good friend Josh Hatch says, 595 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: you can't take likes to the bank, right, you can't 596 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 1: take likes to the bank, But but you can convert 597 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: likes into currency. And so the key is to start 598 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 1: off on the right foot. So when someone sends you 599 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,120 Speaker 1: an invitation to connect, you want to make sure you 600 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 1: find out why, why do you want to connect? Like 601 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: what's your purpose? Because if you don't have a mutual 602 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,719 Speaker 1: benefit for us to be able to work together, then 603 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: what's the purpose of us connecting? Are you a lurker? 604 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: Are you a learner? Or are you a leader? Like? 605 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: Which which one are you? So I think it's important 606 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,000 Speaker 1: for people to understand the process of connecting with people, 607 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: not just on LinkedIn, but on social media period because 608 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: if we're here to be social, are we here to 609 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: help each other or you're just trying to look at 610 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: my stuff that I'm posting on social ride right, Right? 611 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 1: It's really interesting because you know, whenever I see everyone's 612 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: where I see a little bathing stup picture just LinkedIn? 613 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 1: You know what's going on here, you know, because LinkedIn 614 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: has a certain maturity. Yeah, it does. It has a 615 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: culture and and and I was just talking about this 616 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: with a colleague, amand and that. You know, people post 617 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: things that may be inappropriate. The community of LinkedIn will 618 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,959 Speaker 1: check that. Let's say, is this Facebook or is this LinkedIn? 619 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 1: And people will either change it or deleted. But there's 620 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 1: a culture on LinkedIn because it was established for business 621 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:35,600 Speaker 1: and that's what sets linked In apart from which is 622 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: a good transition, because why be connects? That's your business? Okay, 623 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 1: what is that? So I'm a strategic consultant if anything. 624 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 1: I actually just this weekend had the realization that I'm 625 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: a sales coach. I was running away from that what 626 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: you mean when you said your sales. So I recognize 627 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: that there are people out there who hate cold calling 628 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,600 Speaker 1: and they struggle with selling me. And I love those people. 629 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: As a matter of fact. I love those people because 630 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: what I want them to understand is that what people 631 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 1: think that they're doing when they're selling is not really 632 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: selling their marketing. If all I'm doing is talking to 633 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 1: you to try to get you to buy, I'm not selling. 634 00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: I'm marketing. The sales process doesn't begin until the client 635 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: asked the question. So we can't if we don't get 636 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: the person to get a word in, we hadn't started 637 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: the sales process. So think about it. If you go 638 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 1: to a fast food restaurant, you walk in the door, 639 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: what's the first thing that they say to you. Welcome 640 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: to our restaurant. Let me help you check for like 641 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:31,239 Speaker 1: favorite favorite spot. That's my favorite, they asked you. They 642 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: start the process by asking you questions, right, and now 643 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: they already know that because you're in the restaurant, it's 644 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,240 Speaker 1: a ninety nine point nine percent chance that you're gonna 645 00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,560 Speaker 1: buy something. Why because you're in the building, they don't say, well, 646 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: come on in. No, they've already done the marketing that 647 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: they needed to do. The sales process begins as soon 648 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 1: as you step into the restaurant. And I think that's 649 00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: important what you're saying about selling, you know, because I 650 00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,640 Speaker 1: always tell my staff. I tell people that because of 651 00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: our media as a marketing branding company that I own, 652 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: is that you know you you don't see you know 653 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:09,240 Speaker 1: forward advertising. Every once in a while, you don't see IBM, 654 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: a Sony or Apple or Google. I even saw LinkedIn 655 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: commercial last night which was said, wow, I've never saw. 656 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: I've never seen the purpose of advertising is an increase 657 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: your visibility. So we talked about the three abilities, right, 658 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,200 Speaker 1: So you want to increase your visibility, you want to 659 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: increase your reach. One of the best ways that I 660 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,959 Speaker 1: do it, and this is how I build my business, 661 00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,760 Speaker 1: is through referral marketing. So as you build relationships with 662 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: people and you you build your brand, you impact people, 663 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: people are gonna then open up their network to you 664 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 1: as a referral. I'm on this show as a result 665 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: of a referral, right. And so if you operate in 666 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: a referral marketing mindset, you're really a magnet because you 667 00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 1: start to attract the people that you want to work with. 668 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 1: First's chasing after everybody just to get a paycheck. That's important, 669 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: It's extremely important. And then so for my sales perspective, 670 00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: you recognize that I'm never least selling. I'm doing three things. 671 00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: I'm communicating, I'm leveraging my leadership skills, and I'm building relationships. 672 00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,440 Speaker 1: And so if I understand how to do those three 673 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: things very well, then selling is is a piece of 674 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,400 Speaker 1: cake because I'm giving people what they want, So it 675 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: starts with identifying what people want through communication. If I 676 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,640 Speaker 1: ask you the right questions with Sean and you say, 677 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,799 Speaker 1: you tell me what you want and I can help 678 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,640 Speaker 1: you get what you want, we now get to go 679 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,560 Speaker 1: to step two. I start showing my leadership skills. So 680 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 1: what's leadership. It's being accountable, is being on time, is 681 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: following through and what you say you're gonna do. That 682 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,600 Speaker 1: builds trust. And then the networking part comes where we 683 00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: build relationships where if I'm able to impact you, then 684 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna promote me to your network without me even 685 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,799 Speaker 1: asking you to do so. Like like I'm an All 686 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 1: Star and LinkedIn, I come to all the stars. Uh 687 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 1: people who follow me, connect with me, connect with me. 688 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,080 Speaker 1: Now when I post, you know it all tell me 689 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: what city is most popular with my view, which I 690 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: think it's really cool. And it also tell you just 691 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,840 Speaker 1: anybody who's not familiar with LinkedIn. That's why he's saying 692 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 1: from a career or business standpoint, you have to be 693 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,400 Speaker 1: associated with it because you find out like a lot 694 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,840 Speaker 1: of times I see that our Heart radio, or I 695 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 1: see I see uh NBC, I see Walmart, I'll see 696 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 1: all these people who are tied to these different businesses 697 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,120 Speaker 1: who are looking at my brain, which excites me because 698 00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,560 Speaker 1: guess what I want endorsement, I won't sponsorship. So I 699 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,480 Speaker 1: want that type of visibility and the key to that. 700 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 1: So if you find that people are looking at your 701 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 1: profile they wanted to connect, you want to communicate with them. 702 00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: You want to ask them what prompted you to follow 703 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: my page? I've never done that, and that, and that's 704 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 1: that's going to be clutched for you. So if your 705 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 1: goal is to get sponsorships, if you're going to get advertisers, 706 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,479 Speaker 1: if these people are looking at you, they're actually waiting 707 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,840 Speaker 1: for you to have a conversation with them their window shopping. Okay, 708 00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,920 Speaker 1: and so what what what do you do when somebody 709 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 1: that walks into a boutique shop? You say, how can 710 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: I help you? You don't just you don't. Just really 711 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 1: different from from regular social media because now you're saying, okay, 712 00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: just going through the whole world that we're talking about 713 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: in LinkedIn. So because I'm not trying to get I'm 714 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: not trying to give a free lesson, why be connect 715 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,760 Speaker 1: on the air? Okay, you got to go and contact 716 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,759 Speaker 1: this gentleman. He's very talented. The third time on my 717 00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: show Money Making Conversations talking to Robert T. Young Blood 718 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: why be connects one of the most talented individuals in 719 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: the in the in the game when it comes to LinkedIn, 720 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,759 Speaker 1: which I think is that the reason that this show 721 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,239 Speaker 1: is about the entrepreneurship, that's about careers, and that's I 722 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,480 Speaker 1: feel it's important that I have this relationship with you. 723 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: When you come on, you're telling people how they can 724 00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:40,160 Speaker 1: address themselves. This is the new uh, you know, won't 725 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,799 Speaker 1: ask it's digital. It's digital. So everything is digital now. 726 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: I was just talking to another colleague just yesterday. He said, 727 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,320 Speaker 1: the people in the financial services arena, if they're not digital, 728 00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 1: they're getting left behind. You're trying to do things the 729 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,319 Speaker 1: old way. You're gonna get left behind. And so now 730 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 1: you talk about dealing with millennials, and then even with 731 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:00,040 Speaker 1: gen Z coming up, they're digital. You can't expect to 732 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,280 Speaker 1: do any business with them unless you're Unless you're digital, 733 00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 1: Unless you have a digital footprint or digital fingerprint, people 734 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 1: will google you. Now, Rashan, if I say, well, listen, 735 00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk to ra Sean McDonald said, who's that 736 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,239 Speaker 1: They're gonna google you to check your and This is 737 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,759 Speaker 1: the other ability, your credibility, right, My credibility is not 738 00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,879 Speaker 1: what you say about yourself, is what other people say 739 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,120 Speaker 1: about you. Wow. And so when if someone speaks holly 740 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: of you, if they celebrate you and you have results, 741 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:28,760 Speaker 1: then people automatically going to start to build that trust 742 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,680 Speaker 1: factor because they say, well, live Joe believes in in 743 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,840 Speaker 1: Rob young Blood.

Now we were talking about cold calling, 802 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 1: were talking about a lot of things that Rashan McDonald 803 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:49,160 Speaker 1: cannot do because I'm because it almost feels like it's 804 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: almost you know, putting yourself out there, you know, to strangers, 805 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:57,480 Speaker 1: strangers and so. But but but that's what marketing is. 806 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:01,160 Speaker 1: Marketing is marketing. Two people are talking to people that 807 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,439 Speaker 1: you don't even know. That's right, that's right, and that's 808 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 1: what you're breaking down from your business. It's it's so 809 00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:11,000 Speaker 1: so social media is beautiful because it's the new cold call, right, 810 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,480 Speaker 1: But it's not cold because people will warm up to 811 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,480 Speaker 1: you based on their common likes, common interest. Right. So 812 00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: if you like baking and I joined a group and 813 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,560 Speaker 1: we're in the same group, it's not cold anymore because 814 00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 1: we have a common bond. But if you just pick 815 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,400 Speaker 1: up the phone and call somebody out the Yellow Pages, 816 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: you don't know if you're interrupting them. They could be 817 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,839 Speaker 1: painting their house, they could be changing their kids dip. 818 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,960 Speaker 1: So so you take a risk when you make a 819 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: cold call. Now, there's some people out there that do 820 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,680 Speaker 1: it very very well. I have a sales coach that 821 00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:41,319 Speaker 1: I work with. His name is Joe Picci. He's phenomenal 822 00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 1: on on the on the sales call. But for those 823 00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:47,720 Speaker 1: who don't, it's important to come in with the relationships 824 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,120 Speaker 1: so you know what their needs, wants and desires are 825 00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: so you can find a way to help them get 826 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,440 Speaker 1: what they want. Which is amazingly So when you get 827 00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,000 Speaker 1: a call from a person like me, say, hey, Robert, 828 00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,919 Speaker 1: I want to I've been on Chan Joe twice. Why 829 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: is it important to come on a show like mine. Well, 830 00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,040 Speaker 1: as I mentioned before, it's it's it's the two abilities 831 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: was three three abilities. So we talked about visibility, and 832 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:11,840 Speaker 1: we talked about credibility, and so what this does you 833 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,440 Speaker 1: have suing this credibility in terms of the things that 834 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,160 Speaker 1: you've done. So I would be you know, it would 835 00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,000 Speaker 1: be foolish for me to not to take up on 836 00:42:20,120 --> 00:42:23,400 Speaker 1: that that opportunity, being that I'm a growing entrepreneur, I'm 837 00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 1: an emerging entrepreneur. I'm looking to increase my visibility and 838 00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:28,880 Speaker 1: I want to be able to attract new clients. So 839 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: I think this is a wise move to be able 840 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:34,960 Speaker 1: to share information that I typically share with people in 841 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 1: my home home city of Richmond, Virginia and around the 842 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 1: country when I work with clients. This just helps me 843 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:46,239 Speaker 1: to level up to another opportunity. Look you you smooth too. 844 00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,680 Speaker 1: What about this the word level up? That was key 845 00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,560 Speaker 1: because we have a tour? Did you're putting together to 846 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,160 Speaker 1: level up tour? Level up LinkedIn tour? So essentially, I, 847 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,120 Speaker 1: you know, now, I don't work for LinkedIn now if 848 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,879 Speaker 1: they if they're listening now, I wouldn't on a sponsorship 849 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:02,680 Speaker 1: or be able to you know, work with them and 850 00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: help out because I do recognize that LinkedIn as a 851 00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: whole has over five hundred thousand uh members, right. That 852 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:13,759 Speaker 1: was five and a million users by the way, get 853 00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,440 Speaker 1: that number of right, But the key fact is that 854 00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,720 Speaker 1: only a third, less than two hundred million are active. 855 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:24,600 Speaker 1: They're talking about around the world now, right, So my 856 00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,720 Speaker 1: I'm on a mission to activate one million LinkedIn users 857 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,360 Speaker 1: by one Okay, that's your mission, that's my mission right 858 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: as it pertains to the level of LinkedIn tour. And 859 00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,560 Speaker 1: so what what I'm doing is I'm traveling from city 860 00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 1: to city working with students, solopreneurs, and sales professionals to 861 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 1: teach them how to leverage LinkedIn to attract their ideal opportunity, 862 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:51,920 Speaker 1: whether it be a client, whether it be mentors for students, 863 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,400 Speaker 1: like I did some work at Old Dominion University, and 864 00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm training students there because what I recognize is that 865 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,719 Speaker 1: if you're in the right environment, you put yourself in 866 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:04,800 Speaker 1: the best position to attract opportunities. And so so I 867 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 1: just want to show folks how to do that. And 868 00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,920 Speaker 1: and people love Instagram, they love Facebook, they love Twitter, 869 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 1: but there's just certain things you cannot do on those 870 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:16,560 Speaker 1: platforms that you can do on LinkedIn. That's true. I was. 871 00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:18,440 Speaker 1: I was in l A Saturday. You know, a good 872 00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:21,400 Speaker 1: friend of mine, Sara Finni. I finally convinced her to 873 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,360 Speaker 1: you know, she's one of the top creative and the 874 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,640 Speaker 1: sitcom and executive ducers in Hollywood, and said you should 875 00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 1: be on LinkedIn. She said, okay, rid shout out finally 876 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,880 Speaker 1: on LinkedIn, and she did because she connected with me, 877 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 1: and because of the fact that this is, like you said, 878 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,799 Speaker 1: this is just another way of showcasing your brand. Your 879 00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:42,360 Speaker 1: singer and actor an engineer. It's it's just it's just 880 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 1: like it is the new employment section, but it's really slick, 881 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 1: it's really cool. Allows you to talk about who you are, 882 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,640 Speaker 1: allows you to put recommendations. That's right. Recommendations are critical. 883 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:56,440 Speaker 1: So if you and that's where credibility comes in the game. 884 00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:58,200 Speaker 1: So if I made an impact on you, if I 885 00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:01,080 Speaker 1: made an impact on your show, I'll reach out and say, 886 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 1: ra Sean, based on the impact that I've made on you, 887 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 1: would you be willing to provide a recommendation of testimonial 888 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 1: to highlight the impact that I've made on you. And 889 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,000 Speaker 1: if the trust and relationship is there and it's mutual, 890 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,000 Speaker 1: you'll do that. What happens is when people read your 891 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,320 Speaker 1: profile and you look at the testimonials, they're gonna be 892 00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 1: blown away because I'm not saying how great I am. 893 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:24,200 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about how sweet I am. It's the 894 00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:27,160 Speaker 1: people that I'm helping that's saying that, right, And so 895 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,880 Speaker 1: if they if you have any level of credibility as 896 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 1: an individual, as a professional, you then can leverage that 897 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:37,200 Speaker 1: credibility to grow and move on to another sector or 898 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,320 Speaker 1: to another client, which is really important important. So so 899 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,560 Speaker 1: when you say the level up linked in tools. Now, 900 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,200 Speaker 1: is this something that one can contact you or via 901 00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,880 Speaker 1: email or how that? Absolutely?

So essentially, I'm looking at a 904 00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 1: couple of cities now I'd love to, you know, like 905 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 1: looking at l A and doing this during the summer. 906 00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,359 Speaker 1: I told the folks in Chicago, don't contact me now, 907 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to come up there now, but to 908 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,840 Speaker 1: come out there. Yeah there so. But but but what 909 00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm doing is I'm doing my own like thing when 910 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,200 Speaker 1: I'm booking my events. And then if individuals, whether it 911 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,839 Speaker 1: be small businesses or colleges, they want me to come 912 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,160 Speaker 1: out and teach their teams how to leverage LinkedIn, then 913 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 1: we add those cities on to the Now you throw 914 00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 1: the name out a couple of times. Soeurs, sir. So 915 00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,520 Speaker 1: most people know what an entrepreneur is. There's a person 916 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,440 Speaker 1: who turns they may not. They may not, so I'll 917 00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:32,920 Speaker 1: just explain. So entrepreneurs someone who turns nothing into something. 918 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 1: So it could be an idea. They may say, well, listen, 919 00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,160 Speaker 1: I want to own my own radio show one day. 920 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,160 Speaker 1: Well that idea is it starts out as nothing and 921 00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 1: then when it becomes manifest, then it's tangible. Right. Well, 922 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:48,680 Speaker 1: the solopreneurs an individuals that's in business for themselves by themselves. 923 00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:50,960 Speaker 1: So I take my good friend martiall Fox, he's a 924 00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 1: graphic designer. Right when he started out, he was a solopreneurs, 925 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,799 Speaker 1: he was a freelancer, so it's another term for freelancer, right, 926 00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,720 Speaker 1: So he's in business for himself and busines is by himself. 927 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:04,120 Speaker 1: He's now the president of one toy design studio, so 928 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 1: he now owns part of a company that he has 929 00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:11,000 Speaker 1: a team, and now he's moved from being a solopreneurs 930 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:14,920 Speaker 1: to an entrepreneur, which is is way more solopreneurs. It's 931 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 1: a tremendous amount. And here's the reality. Most solopreneurs will 932 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 1: likely give up on what they do because they see 933 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,239 Speaker 1: that it's too difficult. They don't have a network, they're 934 00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,360 Speaker 1: doing everything by themselves. They're not branching out. And so 935 00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,800 Speaker 1: I want to help those people because solopreneurs have to 936 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:32,360 Speaker 1: do two things. They have to serve in terms of 937 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,160 Speaker 1: their craft and they have to sell. But which one 938 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:37,759 Speaker 1: do you think most would rather do? They've had to serve. 939 00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 1: So my goal is to come in and help that. 940 00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 1: Solopreneurs says, Listen, I struggle with selling. I don't know 941 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,400 Speaker 1: how to get clients. I'm great at what what I do, 942 00:47:46,239 --> 00:47:48,040 Speaker 1: but how do I how do I get more clients 943 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: and I can come in in the trenches with them 944 00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 1: and help them to make that happen. Before you go, 945 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 1: I want to talk about the high school to HBCU initiatives. Sir, 946 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,400 Speaker 1: what is that? So? I just this is different? Well, 947 00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: this is this is tied to y b Uh, it's not. 948 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:04,320 Speaker 1: It's not directly connected to y BE connects. But so 949 00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,280 Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a graduate of Virginia U University, one 950 00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:11,400 Speaker 1: of the top HBCUs in Virginia sixty five. So I 951 00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:13,400 Speaker 1: had to get a little plug to my view panthers. 952 00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,440 Speaker 1: But um, I've received a message from a classmate who 953 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,520 Speaker 1: wanted to get these pennants, you know, the HBC or 954 00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,400 Speaker 1: college pennants, because there were none of h b c 955 00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,600 Speaker 1: U s on this wall. And so when she contacted me, 956 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,520 Speaker 1: she said, why b could you help me get a 957 00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:33,000 Speaker 1: VU pennant? I said, sure, I'll make sure I do that. 958 00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:36,320 Speaker 1: The Holy Spirit hit me and said, you need to 959 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,040 Speaker 1: do that for every high school in America. So I 960 00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 1: posted a message on social media and I said, if 961 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:45,719 Speaker 1: you're an alum of an HBCU posted school in the 962 00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:48,800 Speaker 1: year you graduated, and I literally that literally went viral, 963 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:52,080 Speaker 1: and I said, you know what, I'm going to start 964 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,759 Speaker 1: another I wouldn't call it a tour, but it's an 965 00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:58,000 Speaker 1: initiative to promote h b c U s in every 966 00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:00,319 Speaker 1: high school in America. And the way that I gonna 967 00:49:00,320 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 1: do that, it's not just me. I'm going to leverage 968 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,799 Speaker 1: other HBCU alums who are already probably doing the same thing, 969 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,600 Speaker 1: and let's come together so we can make a major 970 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 1: impact in terms of promoting h b c U s 971 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,839 Speaker 1: in our school. Well, we're gonna we go. We're gonna 972 00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 1: be together more because the goal of you know, money 973 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,279 Speaker 1: making conversation is the millennial voice for eighteen thirty four 974 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,359 Speaker 1: and hbc U school is a major focus of mine, 975 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:26,719 Speaker 1: is to be in these schools to really educate the 976 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 1: young people early on, because this is a new era, 977 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:31,879 Speaker 1: is you know, because sometimes you listen to your parents, 978 00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 1: they're talking to old school. They don't know, they're not 979 00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,319 Speaker 1: they're not understanding that kids don't care about that big 980 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,360 Speaker 1: screen TV on their own.

Dude, Wow, it's amazing how making 1066 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,960 Speaker 1: some smart because it doesn't. The book doesn't ask you 1067 00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,600 Speaker 1: to make big changes and asked you to make some 1068 00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:01,160 Speaker 1: small changes in different but it's amazing. I tell you 1069 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 1: all the time how small changes yield big differences, and 1070 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:06,640 Speaker 1: it's amazing what it can do for you. I mean, 1071 00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 1: it's not overly complicated, but it's also about perseverance. Right, 1072 00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,359 Speaker 1: you have to believe in the program. Like anything in life, 1073 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:17,000 Speaker 1: you know, entrepreneurship, you gotta believe that your idea, that 1074 00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,440 Speaker 1: your business plan, that your model is going to work. 1075 00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,880 Speaker 1: If you don't believe in it to start, it's not 1076 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,239 Speaker 1: gonna work, it's not gonna happen. And the same thing 1077 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,520 Speaker 1: with weight loss and dieting and becoming healthy. You have 1078 00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,080 Speaker 1: to believe that the steps you're taking, whether they be 1079 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,440 Speaker 1: it's small or large, are going to be productive. At 1080 00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 1: the end of the day, when you have that belief. 1081 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,560 Speaker 1: Then the rest is all about execution. And that's important 1082 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,440 Speaker 1: because you know, I was confused. I was a confused 1083 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 1: guy trying to figure out how I can make my 1084 00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:45,480 Speaker 1: mom live longer. And then here was the information that 1085 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,600 Speaker 1: was very easy to read. And we're going to talk 1086 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:48,920 Speaker 1: about your new book in a minute, but I just 1087 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,200 Speaker 1: wanted to just get that out to your man and 1088 00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 1: let you know that, and also just give more credibility 1089 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 1: to our relationship, and just let me just say that 1090 00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,319 Speaker 1: I really appreciate you telling me that because my mother 1091 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,360 Speaker 1: is still alive. I'm very blessed that she's still alive. 1092 00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,240 Speaker 1: But a lot of people, you know, you're on Facebook 1093 00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,399 Speaker 1: all day and you care about people losing their parents, 1094 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,319 Speaker 1: especially as we get older, and uh, it just makes 1095 00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,800 Speaker 1: me think how much, how how much, how many people 1096 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,879 Speaker 1: would love to have their parents around for even another day, 1097 00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 1: forget about a year or ten years, even just another day. 1098 00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,360 Speaker 1: And so I'm hoping that my books will get people 1099 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,799 Speaker 1: to understand that they can improve the quality of their life, 1100 00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,279 Speaker 1: they can improve the longevity of their life, and they 1101 00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,479 Speaker 1: can increase the amount of time that we spend together. 1102 00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:32,200 Speaker 1: No one's gonna lift forever, so I'm not saying that, 1103 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 1: but you do want to live as long as you 1104 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,360 Speaker 1: possibly can and the best healthy possibly can to enjoy 1105 00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,360 Speaker 1: those around you. And I'm glad that you and your 1106 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:41,680 Speaker 1: brothers and sisters have sat down and said, we're going 1107 00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 1: to do an intervention on our mother, because your mother 1108 00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:47,080 Speaker 1: is most important. Oh yeah, it's so funny when when 1109 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,759 Speaker 1: we uh one day for breakfast, mom just getting the 1110 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,759 Speaker 1: smooth and she went, is it? Yeah, Mom, we've got 1111 00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,920 Speaker 1: more food coming, but right now, you know them grits, 1112 00:55:57,040 --> 00:56:00,759 Speaker 1: And now we're just gonna do it a smooth And 1113 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 1: see once we got bad that Tuesday hump, she's been 1114 00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,800 Speaker 1: flying ever since. Man. And I'm happy with this is 1115 00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,880 Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. And but let's move on to the 1116 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,759 Speaker 1: next book, man, because you'd be putting out a book 1117 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,200 Speaker 1: a year. It's called The Clean twenty. It's coming out, 1118 00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,720 Speaker 1: uh St Martin's Press. Tell us about the Clean twenty, 1119 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,480 Speaker 1: because obviously, if I'm a fan of Blast to figure out, 1120 00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:24,800 Speaker 1: you know, I'm going to be a fan of the 1121 00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:27,000 Speaker 1: Clean twenty, Well, let me talk about the Clean twenty 1122 00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,960 Speaker 1: really quickly. The Clean twenty is based on twenty foods 1123 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,560 Speaker 1: for twenty days total transformation the idea is very simple. 1124 00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,520 Speaker 1: For twenty days, you are going to eat as clean 1125 00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 1: as you possibly can. Once again, you're not going to 1126 00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,560 Speaker 1: eat perfectly, because I never asked you my plans to 1127 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 1: be perfect. No one's perfect. I'm not perfect. But what 1128 00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,880 Speaker 1: I am asking you is to dramatically reduce the processed 1129 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,799 Speaker 1: foods that litter our shelves and grocery stores, that are 1130 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 1: all over our cabinets and our refrigerators. If you reduce 1131 00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,319 Speaker 1: some of these processed foods, these foods are all these 1132 00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,480 Speaker 1: artificial chemicals, names of which most people canny and pronounced 1133 00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:02,880 Speaker 1: or even understand what they do. If you can reduce 1134 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:06,399 Speaker 1: that and get down to clean eating, the dramatic change 1135 00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:09,680 Speaker 1: in your energy levels, in your skin appearance, and your 1136 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:13,279 Speaker 1: gastro intestinal track, your g I system, and what you 1137 00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,719 Speaker 1: see on the scale is dramatic. We've had people do 1138 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,240 Speaker 1: the Clean twenty already in advance of the book's release, 1139 00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 1: and they've dropped between twen and twelve pounds in just 1140 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,720 Speaker 1: twenty days. And Rashan, this is not a diet per se. 1141 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 1: This isn't one of those things where I'm pounding your 1142 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,080 Speaker 1: calories on. Restricting your has nothing to do with calories. 1143 00:57:30,640 --> 00:57:35,200 Speaker 1: This is all about eating proper portions and eating clean foods, 1144 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,280 Speaker 1: and that change alone is what's making people lose all 1145 00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:40,479 Speaker 1: the weight. In fact, we just had Jack K Harry, 1146 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,880 Speaker 1: you know Jack K the Act. She was on Rachel 1147 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,640 Speaker 1: Ray with me last week. She's doing the Clean twenty 1148 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 1: and then in April we're gonna do her big reveal. 1149 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:51,360 Speaker 1: But the idea is that all of us can do it. 1150 00:57:51,720 --> 00:57:54,480 Speaker 1: And we set up a group on Facebook that is 1151 00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,160 Speaker 1: following the Clean twenty early, getting a sneak peak. So 1152 00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,360 Speaker 1: if you're interested and joining us and getting a book 1153 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 1: early and starting, please go to our website.

Because you know me, I'm gonna support you, 1157 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:17,040 Speaker 1: So give me that banner. And you know I've posted 1158 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:20,360 Speaker 1: on my social media because it's about relationships and something 1159 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,320 Speaker 1: I believe in and I believe in you, my friend, 1160 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,520 Speaker 1: and America believes in you. But like I said earlier, 1161 00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,760 Speaker 1: you know, five of his fourteen books have been number 1162 00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:31,080 Speaker 1: one New York Times bestseller. And we're gonna work and 1163 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,400 Speaker 1: we're gonna work on make on this six, really si 1164 00:58:35,440 --> 00:58:37,320 Speaker 1: six out of fifty. I'm I'm putting it in the 1165 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 1: atmosphere for your doc. I'll take the energy. Man. You 1166 00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:41,600 Speaker 1: gotta send the energy up in the universe and it 1167 00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,320 Speaker 1: comes back to you because it's important because of the 1168 00:58:44,360 --> 00:58:46,400 Speaker 1: fact that you know, like I said, I had to 1169 00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 1: have a testimony about my personal relationship, and you mentioned 1170 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:53,520 Speaker 1: something about just not about counting calories, but how important 1171 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:56,480 Speaker 1: is exercise and all that. Well, you know, it's interesting, 1172 00:58:56,600 --> 00:58:58,840 Speaker 1: you know, I always say to people, if someone said 1173 00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,040 Speaker 1: to me, as a physician, I can only write one 1174 00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,240 Speaker 1: prescription for better health, what would it be? That prescription 1175 00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:09,360 Speaker 1: would be exercise? Because exercise impacts almost every organ system 1176 00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,240 Speaker 1: in the body. And when we say exercise, Rashaan, we're 1177 00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:13,600 Speaker 1: not saying that you have to go to the gym 1178 00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,720 Speaker 1: for an hour and a half, you know, falling down 1179 00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:20,480 Speaker 1: and did no. No, We're talking about consistent, moderate to 1180 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:23,840 Speaker 1: vigorous exercise. I believe you did it for thirty thirty 1181 00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,479 Speaker 1: five minutes, three to five days a week. For most 1182 00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,800 Speaker 1: of us, that is absolutely enough. And in fact, I've 1183 00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:34,000 Speaker 1: created DVDs on my website. One's called The Shred twenty 1184 00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,400 Speaker 1: seven Burn. The other is called the positive Air shred 1185 00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,800 Speaker 1: Worker I did with the gospel artists and pastor Charles Jenkins, 1186 00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,000 Speaker 1: who's a big time award winner. So if you go 1187 00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,960 Speaker 1: to our website at shred Life s h R E 1188 00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:48,880 Speaker 1: D life dot com, you can see the videos in 1189 00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:51,160 Speaker 1: the trailer. But listen, I'm not the only one with 1190 00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:53,760 Speaker 1: good videos. I mean, you want to look for exercise 1191 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,320 Speaker 1: programs that do hit high intensity interval training. Hi, I 1192 00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:59,480 Speaker 1: t google it and look at some of those programs 1193 00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,920 Speaker 1: out there and you'll benefit. Yeah, the thing you're just 1194 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:05,160 Speaker 1: telling everybody is that the Clean twenty plan twenty foods, 1195 01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,080 Speaker 1: twenty days total transformation. That's what you're just trying to 1196 01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,120 Speaker 1: get into everybody's head about the Clean twenty Absolutely no 1197 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,160 Speaker 1: doubt about it. And you gotta believe that. And listen, 1198 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,400 Speaker 1: it's twenty days. I told someone, anyone can do anything 1199 01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,080 Speaker 1: for twenty days. It's not even a month. It's less 1200 01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:22,120 Speaker 1: than a month to really hit the reset button. It's 1201 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:25,440 Speaker 1: about hitting the reset button and getting yourself more aligned 1202 01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,280 Speaker 1: with eating more natural fruits. That doesn't mean it's not 1203 01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 1: gonna be tasty, and by the way, you won't be hungry. 1204 01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,480 Speaker 1: There are tons of foods. There's seafood, there's poultry, there's turkey, 1205 01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 1: there's dairy, there are all kinds of fruits and vegetables, cheese. 1206 01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:40,360 Speaker 1: So people say, well, I don't understand. I've never been 1207 01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,120 Speaker 1: on the diet where I can have all this stuff. 1208 01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:45,320 Speaker 1: This isn't a diet. This is a food plan to 1209 01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,120 Speaker 1: help you be able to eat better and feel better. 1210 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:50,520 Speaker 1: But it's more like a lifestyle. And that's why people 1211 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:52,760 Speaker 1: I have you on my show because if you're not healthy, 1212 01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:55,160 Speaker 1: not eating right, but you can't run your business, you 1213 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,040 Speaker 1: can't go to work, you're not an effective employee because 1214 01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,040 Speaker 1: because guess what, you're causing us with your medical plans 1215 01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:03,880 Speaker 1: and all this. So getting it done right, it's about entrepreneurship, 1216 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,200 Speaker 1: it's about lifestyle. That's why I like about your plans 1217 01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:09,240 Speaker 1: because you shoten them and you make them concise, you 1218 01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:11,960 Speaker 1: make them easy to read, and it really really benefits 1219 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,360 Speaker 1: the masses. A rich man's best friend, believe it or not, 1220 01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:19,200 Speaker 1: it's not a stockbroker, it's his health. If you don't 1221 01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,440 Speaker 1: have your health, if you're not thinking clearly, if you're 1222 01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:23,240 Speaker 1: not feeling well, if you're not able to get up 1223 01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,120 Speaker 1: and move around, you have nothing. All the riches and 1224 01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 1: the opportunities don't matter because you can't capitalize on them. 1225 01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,560 Speaker 1: And that's why I say to people, this just isn't 1226 01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:33,920 Speaker 1: about how you look. This is also about how you 1227 01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,880 Speaker 1: can function. Are you thinking well? Are you able to 1228 01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:38,960 Speaker 1: go to meetings? Are you able to get in and 1229 01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:42,200 Speaker 1: out of planes and cars and and and and work late? 1230 01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:44,560 Speaker 1: You know, I just basic funk. You know. We don't 1231 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 1: think about this, but just basic functioning. It's so important 1232 01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:51,600 Speaker 1: to how productive we are as business people and as consumers. Well, 1233 01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:53,680 Speaker 1: my friend, we're gonna be back with more of dr 1234 01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,800 Speaker 1: Ian Smith. Do not go anywhere.

And by the 1318 01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:15,600 Speaker 1: same token, publishers, main publishers in the industry for a 1319 01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:19,760 Speaker 1: long time, I feel have largely ignored black readers. And 1320 01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,160 Speaker 1: so I, INCENTI you we want to encourage not only 1321 01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,760 Speaker 1: more African Americans to become writers. And this our group 1322 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:28,600 Speaker 1: is for people authors of colors. So it's not just 1323 01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:31,400 Speaker 1: African Americans as the only ASTRA, but we want to 1324 01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,360 Speaker 1: encourage more of people of color to become writers, but 1325 01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:37,120 Speaker 1: also to become more readers to read more in support 1326 01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,919 Speaker 1: our authors. So on Facebook we started this book club. 1327 01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,960 Speaker 1: It's now the biggest online book club for people of color. 1328 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:46,280 Speaker 1: It's called the Nubian Book Nook.

McFadden and her book is called The Book 1332 01:06:55,720 --> 01:07:00,360 Speaker 1: of Harlan, based on African Americans during Nazi Germany. Patient 1333 01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:03,320 Speaker 1: So we always talk about you know, jew the Holocaust 1334 01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:05,640 Speaker 1: and Jews, but we also we never talked about how 1335 01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:09,040 Speaker 1: it affective African Americans.

And 1340 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:20,520 Speaker 1: so we're just happy to be able to produce this 1341 01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:22,880 Speaker 1: platform not just for readers but also for our writers. 1342 01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:27,280 Speaker 1: Let me just say that, you know, he's the die king. 1343 01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:31,600 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, He's a die Now he's focused. 1344 01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:33,800 Speaker 1: Now I said, you got eyewear, you got candles, you 1345 01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:36,880 Speaker 1: got called, you got a foundation. Why is it important? 1346 01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:39,400 Speaker 1: Why is it important to partner up with him on 1347 01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:43,920 Speaker 1: this Nubian book book club? Well, like way back, we 1348 01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,000 Speaker 1: have a lot of his transitors. Is a matter of fight. 1349 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:49,000 Speaker 1: His first book, The Blackbird Papers Today we wrote we 1350 01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,840 Speaker 1: were you know, great plants, and you know I supported 1351 01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:56,080 Speaker 1: him then. I am a huge reader. You know, my 1352 01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:58,480 Speaker 1: schedules a little crazy now. So it's one of my 1353 01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 1: favorite things to do. And you know, a lot of 1354 01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,600 Speaker 1: a lot of people approached me with books all the time, 1355 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:07,720 Speaker 1: like new writers. I'm just trying to get the products 1356 01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:10,560 Speaker 1: out there. Everywhere I go, someone's giving me a book 1357 01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:13,640 Speaker 1: to read. Actually, I have probably about three books in 1358 01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,760 Speaker 1: the year just that we spend probably like the last 1359 01:08:16,840 --> 01:08:19,479 Speaker 1: four years where you know, we have all this talent 1360 01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,400 Speaker 1: out there, but they just don't really have a real 1361 01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:24,880 Speaker 1: platform to get exposure. And I'm in a position because 1362 01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,080 Speaker 1: of my platform on the Housewives and all the things 1363 01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,639 Speaker 1: that I'm doing. You know, for me, if I say 1364 01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:31,800 Speaker 1: I everydn't say hey, it's great, it's a great book, 1365 01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:33,320 Speaker 1: and I make it a part of our book club, 1366 01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:36,120 Speaker 1: then they at least have a chance of getting some recognition. 1367 01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:39,960 Speaker 1: So I think it's amazing. Reading is very important. You 1368 01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:41,640 Speaker 1: know a lot of people people just don't read like 1369 01:08:41,720 --> 01:08:44,680 Speaker 1: they used to. And uh again, I just think it's 1370 01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:49,400 Speaker 1: it's important to read. Now we're not in the book club, 1371 01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:53,280 Speaker 1: so doc, what happens? Okay, you you chose this book, 1372 01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:55,640 Speaker 1: So what happens? How does this process work?

Your career is incredible. 1535 01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:37,880 Speaker 1: I've been fortunate to be a part of watching it 1536 01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:42,280 Speaker 1: on TV and experience and as a friend. Six years old, Yes, sir, 1537 01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,360 Speaker 1: what why do you say it's six years old? You 1538 01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:48,479 Speaker 1: knew you wanted to be a comedian because I would 1539 01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:50,400 Speaker 1: watch Telebion and that was a man named Red Skelton 1540 01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:52,840 Speaker 1: and all of the characters that he did. There was 1541 01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,599 Speaker 1: a guy named Milton Burrow that was basically basically, I'd 1542 01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:58,080 Speaker 1: like to give my career to Red Button, Red Fox, 1543 01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:01,599 Speaker 1: Red Skelton, Pinky Lead. Those are all people of color. 1544 01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:03,880 Speaker 1: So I like, that's that's supposed to be a joke. 1545 01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,080 Speaker 1: We kind of chuckle or something if I do something 1546 01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,720 Speaker 1: no money, but I would do those jokes. Would watch 1547 01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:13,559 Speaker 1: Tonight Show and I was watching all these coming. Let's 1548 01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:17,080 Speaker 1: also bringing Red Fox in the party records, Jacky Moms, 1549 01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:20,719 Speaker 1: maybe Judge Pick, meet Markham. Those are very important. Sometimes 1550 01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:22,760 Speaker 1: we don't talk about those, but we will. Listening to 1551 01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:24,880 Speaker 1: the party records. I'm gonna take them back to school 1552 01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,439 Speaker 1: and do those jokes and everybody would be happy. So 1553 01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:29,519 Speaker 1: I found out at an early age when i'm when 1554 01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:32,080 Speaker 1: I see happy people, it makes me happier. And to 1555 01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:35,080 Speaker 1: this day, laughter is the greatest medicine in the world. 1556 01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,200 Speaker 1: You know, when when he was on the show This Something, 1557 01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:39,559 Speaker 1: when you came on, you know, you was really it's 1558 01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:41,720 Speaker 1: almost like you was kind of like mad at how 1559 01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:46,320 Speaker 1: people don't give themselves a shot of being successful. You know, 1560 01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:49,599 Speaker 1: it seems like you because you're you're a natural entrepreneur 1561 01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,080 Speaker 1: and that means that. But but you said, Richard, and 1562 01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:55,800 Speaker 1: you just don't understand why people don't believe in themselves more. 1563 01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:58,280 Speaker 1: Why is that? I don't know. I think it's it 1564 01:18:58,320 --> 01:18:59,920 Speaker 1: depends on where you grew up. It could be your 1565 01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:02,360 Speaker 1: rental guidance, that could be your neighborhood, could be your peers. 1566 01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:05,720 Speaker 1: It's like, you know, people you grew up with are 1567 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,800 Speaker 1: still in the same predicament they were in when you're 1568 01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:12,400 Speaker 1: left trying to do better, and you can be better. 1569 01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:14,720 Speaker 1: I said, let's create a great day. Go out there 1570 01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:16,639 Speaker 1: and work on a day. Start your day every day positive. 1571 01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:20,959 Speaker 1: I gotta move hey, And I probably said because I'm religious. 1572 01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:22,920 Speaker 1: A lot of people say I'm gonna wait on the Lord. 1573 01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:24,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna wait on the Lord. Well, if you sit 1574 01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:26,439 Speaker 1: on the couch and wait on the Lord, you know what, 1575 01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:29,160 Speaker 1: He'll sit right there next to you and nothing will 1576 01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:31,880 Speaker 1: be done. You've got to get up and make a step, 1577 01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:33,720 Speaker 1: and then over to say you make one step, he'll 1578 01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:35,840 Speaker 1: make too. You got to plan, you got to be 1579 01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:38,280 Speaker 1: if you want to make it. I'm not gonna just 1580 01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:41,479 Speaker 1: say everybody can be successful, but everybody can take it. 1581 01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,840 Speaker 1: Making for making effort, Yes, sir, thank you so much. 1582 01:19:43,960 --> 01:19:46,000 Speaker 1: Making effort, because that's what I'm all geared about. That's 1583 01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:48,040 Speaker 1: why I created this show because I always felt that 1584 01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:51,160 Speaker 1: I'm trying to cut out some excuses by making conversations 1585 01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:53,479 Speaker 1: with information. Because people are making an excuse. He said, 1586 01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,040 Speaker 1: what can we go? Who can we talk to? Who committed? 1587 01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:59,120 Speaker 1: This is a national mentorship because I can't mentor individual 1588 01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:00,880 Speaker 1: because I know a lot of people. You said, would 1589 01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:03,599 Speaker 1: you mentor me? Mr Wallace? Dr Wallace, I'm working, I'm busy. 1590 01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:04,840 Speaker 1: I got to think. You know what to say about 1591 01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:07,240 Speaker 1: rich people? What did they do? They work? Which people work? 1592 01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:09,519 Speaker 1: So when you say the people have excuses, we call 1593 01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:13,519 Speaker 1: those debut people. I wouldn't do this, but let's let's 1594 01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:16,400 Speaker 1: create this program. But and I don't have enough money. 1595 01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:18,880 Speaker 1: But we'll find it somewhere right, right, and so so 1596 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,240 Speaker 1: that's what I took away from that with you was like, Rashaan, 1597 01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:24,760 Speaker 1: I'm happy to be on your show. I'm happy to 1598 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:28,360 Speaker 1: tell people that they can win. You can win. I 1599 01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:30,720 Speaker 1: think it started with me, maybe you back in the 1600 01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:35,479 Speaker 1: there's been a culture change in the last thirty years. 1601 01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:37,599 Speaker 1: When we were kids and we stayed at at homes 1602 01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:40,960 Speaker 1: with our parents, the we had work ethics, had to work. 1603 01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:43,360 Speaker 1: We knew at eighteen you had to get a job 1604 01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:48,000 Speaker 1: or what get out of the house fast mention. If 1605 01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,160 Speaker 1: he was male, he was male. No, definitely, if you 1606 01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:53,439 Speaker 1: were you to go, you might be dad as girl, 1607 01:20:53,479 --> 01:20:55,479 Speaker 1: he'll keep Peo for a while, but a guy, you 1608 01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:58,080 Speaker 1: got to go. And I have never growing up here 1609 01:20:58,120 --> 01:21:00,519 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, I think all my friends so we did. 1610 01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:03,040 Speaker 1: We started working at an early age. When I say working, 1611 01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,719 Speaker 1: it's like we needed money. We would do simple things 1612 01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:11,679 Speaker 1: like soda bottles, pepsi bottles, coke bottles. We find empty 1613 01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:13,680 Speaker 1: coke bottles. When I was a kid, as Solda on 1614 01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:15,680 Speaker 1: the cost. We called a drink down here, enjoyed a 1615 01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:18,840 Speaker 1: drink right, only costs five cents. You take the empty 1616 01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:21,360 Speaker 1: bottle back, they give you two pennies. So what we 1617 01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:28,040 Speaker 1: do we collect bottles? What's what's that a quarter? Even 1618 01:21:28,080 --> 01:21:29,880 Speaker 1: if we made a quarter, because a back of attendships 1619 01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:32,120 Speaker 1: is only a nickel back, then we make money somehow. 1620 01:21:32,479 --> 01:21:36,280 Speaker 1: Grab I would cut grab newspaper boy, a grocery store, 1621 01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:38,200 Speaker 1: walk grocers off to the car for the people.

You know, he on stage, 1796 01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:53,639 Speaker 1: you know because the White clubs one of the biggest, 1797 01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:58,240 Speaker 1: the biggest White club ever. And you catch your start 1798 01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:01,400 Speaker 1: out on stage, you knew somebody and you will somebody exactly. 1799 01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:06,760 Speaker 1: He was on stage a lot and Sheridan an Fani 1800 01:30:06,800 --> 01:30:09,400 Speaker 1: and comedian the only two African Americans. And then uh, 1801 01:30:09,560 --> 01:30:11,360 Speaker 1: they were on stage on the regular basis. And he 1802 01:30:11,400 --> 01:30:13,519 Speaker 1: saw me at the bar and I was just because 1803 01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:15,000 Speaker 1: I couldn't get in. I was just trying to get in, 1804 01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:17,280 Speaker 1: get in, get in the dough, and he said, what's 1805 01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:20,120 Speaker 1: your name, young man? I said, Rajan mcdonalfalinus texts. He said, 1806 01:30:20,240 --> 01:30:22,920 Speaker 1: hanging there, You're gonna be funny. You're gonna be funny. 1807 01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:25,880 Speaker 1: And it was just he just issued that motivation to 1808 01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:28,240 Speaker 1: me without even knowing me. That's what I'm just saying, 1809 01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:30,639 Speaker 1: is that you're the type of person that lets everybody 1810 01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:34,120 Speaker 1: know there's an opportunity to be successful. Just stop stop 1811 01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:37,360 Speaker 1: stopping yourself exactly, and and don't be a hater. You 1812 01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:40,320 Speaker 1: know so many people always jumping on other people because 1813 01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:42,800 Speaker 1: they're successful. Who are they successful? I'm funnier than that person. 1814 01:30:42,840 --> 01:30:44,720 Speaker 1: Not always about who's the funniest. That is how you 1815 01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:47,240 Speaker 1: carry yourself. And that's what I teach people also in 1816 01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:50,400 Speaker 1: businesses and other people in sales. There's somebody I think 1817 01:30:50,479 --> 01:30:52,960 Speaker 1: everybody's in sales. That's the world. I come from marketing, 1818 01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:56,599 Speaker 1: and so whatever you do, you're in sales. Even when 1819 01:30:56,640 --> 01:30:59,439 Speaker 1: I talk to school teachers, you're in sales. You gotta 1820 01:30:59,479 --> 01:31:01,760 Speaker 1: sell this for him to the kids. You've got to 1821 01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:04,439 Speaker 1: sell whatever you do, and it's all about you. When 1822 01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:07,240 Speaker 1: you present yourself the package, greet people with a smile, 1823 01:31:08,200 --> 01:31:11,000 Speaker 1: right because there's only reason that somebody should buy PEPs 1824 01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:12,680 Speaker 1: that then cope. But the person that sells it to 1825 01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:16,599 Speaker 1: them with that personal handshake. We don't have that anymore. 1826 01:31:17,040 --> 01:31:19,599 Speaker 1: We're texting now, and I told my managed to stop 1827 01:31:19,720 --> 01:31:21,840 Speaker 1: texting people, call them and talk to him personal. Let's 1828 01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:24,559 Speaker 1: go visit people when there's nothing better than checking somebody's 1829 01:31:24,600 --> 01:31:26,519 Speaker 1: hand talking to you people. If we were on the telephone, 1830 01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:28,439 Speaker 1: I'm looking you straight in the eye right now.
