<v Speaker 1>learned from you and people like you. Well, let's give

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>some credit on my side to what you've done for

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.240
<v Speaker 1>me personally. I was not interested in doing a radio show.

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.720
<v Speaker 1>I ran into in Houston, Texas. I ran into uh

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>ivan and uh a restaurant, walked up to every show,

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>how are you doing? Do my show? And he has

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>a show on at the time, and I said, I

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:12.639
<v Speaker 1>don't know. He said, come on, man, do my show.

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.240
<v Speaker 1>People need to hear you. People need to hear what

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:17.200
<v Speaker 1>you have to say. So I did this show in Houston, Texas,

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 1>and uh, it was great, fantastic show. Great. Uh people

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>are lightening up the phone called phone lines and everything.

0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:25.960
<v Speaker 1>And I got off. When I walked off air, the

0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>owners of the station was waiting on me. I sat

0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>in their office for two hours, remember that, and I

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>remember them ambushing you, is what I remember. When you

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.720
<v Speaker 1>got off and and they sat down and asked me

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and I said, well, I said, I do it. I

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>but but I only do it for four weeks. I'll

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:44.480
<v Speaker 1>do the show for four weeks. That was in May

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>of last year, seventeen four weeks. So now we're at

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the about the uh sixteen month mark, and we're still

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 1>doing money making conversation and I'm on the phone with

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>a young man who made it all happen as far

0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>as getting me in. And that's why I always tell

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 1>people you never know when your next opportunity will come.

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.640
<v Speaker 1>To keep an open mind, and that that's basically what

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 1>your career is all about. Keeping an open mind. Correct, yes, sir,

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>but one of the biggest things that has uh, I've

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:17.920
<v Speaker 1>learned from just many mentors you, Jleen Ricky, people like

0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Greg Carter and people like that, is don't get the

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>big head work you're brought off people. There's no such

0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 1>thing as being an overnight success. Now, you can screw

0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.040
<v Speaker 1>it up overnight, even within two or three minutes of

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 1>running your mouth. But if you really want durable, lasting success,

0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.720
<v Speaker 1>it's all about living your brand and being committed and

0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 1>humble and every opportunity that you get, take it serious

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.560
<v Speaker 1>and make the most of it. Let's talk about because

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>I wanted there several RILs, because we got you for

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>two breaks, and I want to talk about the tedex

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>moment now I ted X speaker opportunities have you had

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:58.160
<v Speaker 1>so far? Uh? So far? There are too that are

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.280
<v Speaker 1>published out there, and they're would be about three more

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>within the next twelve months. With well, I just felt

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>it like this man. You know, it's it's rare Rashanska

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>that they even get brothers. Uh, not that it hasn't

0:05:15.279 --> 0:05:17.960
<v Speaker 1>been any of us, but we are a very select

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>group and those of us who have been um esteemed

0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:27.159
<v Speaker 1>or fortunate enough to have that platform because as you guys,

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>know if they debt the hell out you to be

0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>on do a ted X and then even when you're

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:36.359
<v Speaker 1>in competition, you're in competition amongst all these brilliant minds.

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 1>So just have the the opportunity to do something like

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 1>that is truly, truly a wonderful experience. Now you have one.

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.039
<v Speaker 1>You have one of your videos that you did know

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.440
<v Speaker 1>ted X over a million views. I remember you were

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>tracking and Rashan check this out. I'm a thousand and

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 1>have me tell us about that experience for taping it.

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Where was taped some of the content and it don't

0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.440
<v Speaker 1>want to give away because we want people, we want

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.480
<v Speaker 1>to drive them to go watch it and keep adding

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>to the views. But tell us about wherever the tape,

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 1>how the opportunity came about you and what changes has

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.159
<v Speaker 1>it caused in your life to get a video that

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.960
<v Speaker 1>has been few by over a million people? Oh wow,

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:17.920
<v Speaker 1>it's highly significant. You know. It's one thing when we

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>put out content ourselves and try to optimize it and

0:06:23.360 --> 0:06:26.479
<v Speaker 1>and and sell it. But tedd X doesn't permit you

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:30.839
<v Speaker 1>doing any type of stimulation that's financial for a teex

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:35.240
<v Speaker 1>h video. But the way it took place, long Star

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>was having a the TTEX event here and and the

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Houston area, and several or few hundred people applied. I was,

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:50.880
<v Speaker 1>I was suggested, and the next thing I know, you know,

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>they vetted and vetted and vetted, and I somehow it

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:58.159
<v Speaker 1>was very um fortunate to make it to the top

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:01.719
<v Speaker 1>ten people that they selected out of the hundreds of people.

0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:05.480
<v Speaker 1>From that point, the uh, you know, I just did

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 1>my thing talking about the laws of attraction and emotional intelligence.

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Soon thereafter they notified me and they said, hey man,

0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>this thing's a eleven thousand, which I was like, what

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 1>eleven thousand? If someone had told me it would be

0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 1>a million views within eighteen months, I would have never

0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>believed it. But I can tell you that what I'm

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>very grateful for is that it's opened up opportunities such

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.720
<v Speaker 1>as this platform to be on programs like this program

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm on with you right now, uh, to get the

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>exposure and to represent that many of us, meaning men

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.880
<v Speaker 1>of color, we do more than And I'm not knocking

0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:49.320
<v Speaker 1>brothers that catching dribble balls, because that's the gift within itself,

0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.720
<v Speaker 1>but there are people like you and me out here

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>that use other gifts and other skills sets to um

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.040
<v Speaker 1>to maximize our potential, and there's a lot of potential.

0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>But the thing about it is that, you know, I've

0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 1>had some videos that go viral. You know, viral is

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 1>anything that it sees like a hundred and fifty thousand

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 1>views and social media and it really does change your

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>life it Uh, it brings credibility to it. Uh when

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 1>you tell people when you want to get booked on shows,

0:08:16.160 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>you can send them that link and they go really

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.560
<v Speaker 1>a million people And so I guess I want to

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:24.559
<v Speaker 1>say that with that happened to you? What what? What?

0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>What is? What has been the most um you know

0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>is that when you say that's your first big break

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 1>in the media industry, that video going viral, not saying

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.319
<v Speaker 1>that you haven't been accomplished in other areas. But that's

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:40.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty significant. Yes it is. And I have no problem

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:46.520
<v Speaker 1>being um, transparent or authentic about my journey Roshan. I

0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:50.079
<v Speaker 1>have worked so hard to have a voice and to

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:54.599
<v Speaker 1>be at least recognized is not a scene, but just

0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>recognized from how hard I work it wanting to be

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>the best at what I do. So to have something

0:09:00.760 --> 0:09:05.720
<v Speaker 1>like that happened change it did change the level for

0:09:05.840 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 1>me in terms of the playing field, and now that

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm there, what I'm really reminded of is stuff that

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I've learned from watching you is you know, don't get

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the big head because now that you're here, what you're

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:21.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna do while you're here? So being really being truthful.

0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:25.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm reading six bucks books a month. If I'm not reading,

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.600

<v Speaker 1>I'm seeing you on these different TV shows as an expert.

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 1>What just there? Where are we going? Are we looking

<v Speaker 1>at another Michael straighthand here another Steve Harvey? Here? I

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>love the Mortel Mortel? What's going on here? Sir? Man?

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Being honest with you, my own lot of a lot

0:12:02.720 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 1>of lots of me, you better be honest with me. Well,

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.199
<v Speaker 1>here's the truth. The truth is that there's a guy

0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:14.959
<v Speaker 1>um at a major network UH named David Parozzi who

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 1>has been very much a huge supporter and then I

0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.760
<v Speaker 1>have people like you and jay Len and Ricky in

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:25.199
<v Speaker 1>my corner, so conversations are happening. Uh. We're talking to

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:31.439
<v Speaker 1>uh some people a dr Fields production unit and exploring

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:35.440
<v Speaker 1>possibilities there. We're also exploring some possibilities. I have a

0:12:35.480 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 1>wonderful public thist what's up, Heather? Who is uh? Talking

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>a book deal for me with some people in Chicago.

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 1>So we're just I'm open. The one thing that I've

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 1>learned from you, though, is I want some ownership and

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 1>whatever I do, I also want to have some degree

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:59.320
<v Speaker 1>of creative control, if not control, significant influence to protect

0:12:59.360 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 1>integra the other content that's created because I'm not um,

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm not getting ready to be bamboozle and I'm not

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:08.480
<v Speaker 1>going to put out something and that doesn't reflect the

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.680
<v Speaker 1>quality or the messaging that I put in my brand.

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 1>My brand is about hope and faith and and having

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:23.320
<v Speaker 1>difficult conversations about unpleasant subjects with one outcome in mind,

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and that's that not to be right, but just to

0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.240
<v Speaker 1>make sure that we really understand each other and to

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 1>do something positive with that understanding other than uh be

0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:35.440
<v Speaker 1>made a fool of or be help like that. You

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:38.319
<v Speaker 1>know what? Absolutely now when you when you get these calls,

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you have different calls. You get to be next for

0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:45.320
<v Speaker 1>an MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, then you get those calls

0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:48.839
<v Speaker 1>to be or TV ones hit programs like Fatal Attraction.

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:53.320
<v Speaker 1>So so what's what's the tone shift when you're doing

0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 1>a MSNBC versus doing Snapped or Fatal Attraction. Tell us

0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:02.800
<v Speaker 1>about that. Well, it's real simple. Know your place. You know,

0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:06.240
<v Speaker 1>when people call me as an expert, I'm to be that.

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:09.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm not trying to be more than I am. So

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 1>whether it's Greg Carter that let me do a cameo

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and my BF health and I understood my place. Look, dude,

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 1>you you're getting a little moment to do something you've

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 1>never done, So do it. Whether it's doing fail Attraction

0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:26.480
<v Speaker 1>or Snapped or CNN. I want to bring the best.

0:14:26.560 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I want to bring my a game. I make sure

0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:33.520
<v Speaker 1>that I am well positioned and and I know my material.

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.440
<v Speaker 1>So when I get my two minutes or my thirty

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 1>seconds or are fifteen minutes, I'm going to make sure

0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 1>that I delivered two and get that phone called back

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:46.040
<v Speaker 1>to come back again. Now, you which is really important.

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 1>That's why I always I always tell people you have

0:14:48.080 --> 0:14:52.160
<v Speaker 1>different layers of success, and your brand can be monetize

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.840
<v Speaker 1>in different levels. And that's what you're doing right now.

0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.440
<v Speaker 1>You're monetizing your brand to just let people know that

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.600
<v Speaker 1>you can. You can do these different lays and and

0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.240
<v Speaker 1>and and and shine and like I said, knowing your place.

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Now we're talking about multiple strings income. I'm a big

0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:10.400
<v Speaker 1>proponent of multiple strings income. And then you say something,

0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 1>you have something called the Taco Bell strategy. Now I've

0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.600
<v Speaker 1>never heard that taco bell strategy. So this is money

0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 1>making conversations. When I read that your your your questions

0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 1>for the show, I wanted you to explain exactly what

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:27.080
<v Speaker 1>is the taco bell strategy. It's real simple. Taco Bell

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 1>takes ground beef, lettuce, cheese, and the tortilla and sometimes

0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 1>they make a burrito, they make a taco, they make

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 1>a tostada, uh you know, chlofa. They make all this

0:15:36.680 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 1>stuff using the same basic ingredients or in my practice,

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I am one of probably sixty or seventy master credential

0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:50.040
<v Speaker 1>NBTR practitioners in the world, and black men, I'm probably

0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.840
<v Speaker 1>one of six or seven and again in the world,

0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.400
<v Speaker 1>so I use that instrument. I'm an expert on personality type.

0:15:57.600 --> 0:16:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm also an expert on new linguistics. I'm also an

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 1>expert on relationships. So when I do my thing, I

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:08.560
<v Speaker 1>make sure that I bring together elements that other people

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:12.640
<v Speaker 1>have already said. You know what, this has a proven concept,

0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:16.320
<v Speaker 1>This has proven science. So it's not just my opinion,

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:20.000
<v Speaker 1>because people, you need something as a base and as

0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 1>a platform to build from the other thing. Something I

0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:25.880
<v Speaker 1>learned from you. I remember you shared the story with

0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.120
<v Speaker 1>me once you said, Doc, I wasn't going through a

0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:31.280
<v Speaker 1>season of my life and they were making some decisions

0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and and you said, well, I tell you what, I

0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>don't really mind the money pay me, but let me

0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.000
<v Speaker 1>keep my title. I need my title. So I've learned

0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.240
<v Speaker 1>the value of a good name number one, and the

0:16:43.320 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 1>value of using key ingredients that are associated with my

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.040
<v Speaker 1>name that I can bring value to that brand or

0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:55.280
<v Speaker 1>to that instrument, and that instrument can add value. And uh,

0:16:55.400 --> 0:17:00.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, be somewhat of an implied endorsement from my abilities.

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:04.160
<v Speaker 1>And and again like it goes back to this work

0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 1>hard and know your stuff. You know that this clip,

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.720
<v Speaker 1>that little that story he talked about was that Uh.

0:17:10.000 --> 0:17:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I just wrapped uh a season on Steve Harvey's first

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:16.560
<v Speaker 1>sitcom on ABC called Me and the Boys, and Robert

0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Townson hired me to do his sitcom on the WB

0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:23.160
<v Speaker 1>called Parenthood, and I was on the Steve harves Shaw

0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.080
<v Speaker 1>was an executive story editor. And then what they did

0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 1>was when I got hired on Robert Townson show, they

0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.200
<v Speaker 1>moving back to the staff writer. So I actually took

0:17:32.200 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 1>a step back. So I said, hey, hey, hey, hey,

0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:36.639
<v Speaker 1>I need my title. I said, you don't have to

0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:39.560
<v Speaker 1>pay me money, just get me titled. I just wanted

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.879
<v Speaker 1>people to assume that I was still moving forward without

0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the check associated with it, because a lot of people

0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 1>don't understand that it's about branding. Way back then, I

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:51.680
<v Speaker 1>understood brands, understood about marketing, understood about perception, and people

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:54.960
<v Speaker 1>perceived that you're moving forward. Then guess what you get

0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:56.960
<v Speaker 1>paid like you're going to be moving forward. So I

0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 1>always end up. I told her they had never had

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.440
<v Speaker 1>anybody talked to him like that. I said, no, no, no,

0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.879
<v Speaker 1>you keep us out. Just getting my title back. They went, oh,

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.720
<v Speaker 1>this legal. When they came back, okay, we'll do it.

0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.359
<v Speaker 1>You're sure now, I said, I don't want any money.

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:12.680
<v Speaker 1>I just want that title and that's what you're saying

0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:15.120
<v Speaker 1>right now, and that's what you're trying to communicate when

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.040
<v Speaker 1>you talk about doing business, and that's why you have

0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the title of the reality check. Correct Yes, sir h.

0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Taking that even further, I've had you and Maya, Ricky

0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 1>jay Len, and Mayanna. If you guys don't know who

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Jayleen McK and Ricky Anderson is, you might want to

0:18:29.760 --> 0:18:32.359
<v Speaker 1>find out. But the thing that the three of you

0:18:32.400 --> 0:18:36.320
<v Speaker 1>taught me is know when to exit stage left, meaning

0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.119
<v Speaker 1>is something's not conducive to where you're taking your brand.

0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:42.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, all money ain't good money, and all opportunities

0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:45.639
<v Speaker 1>aren't good opportunities. The other thing that I learned UH

0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:50.000
<v Speaker 1>on the hard way is to let your let other

0:18:50.040 --> 0:18:53.399
<v Speaker 1>people brag about you, let other people talk about you.

0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.240
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not saying don't promote yourself. There's a difference
