Speaker 1: I think I feel you have to be humbled. You

38
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: have to have to take a step back in order

39
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: to move forward. That's just the process. If you don't

40
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: realize that you can't make it and be theres be

41
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: and and an equate that there is a failure part

42
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: and the successful equation. Then you're gonna lose. And I

Speaker 1: here trying to give you an examples and try to

45
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: break down these examples and make them as normal or

47
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,360

48
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 1: I say why? Because every guest I bring on the

49
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: show brings a unique um edge to the table, a

50
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: unique style of why they're successful and why you can

51
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: be successful if you have a plan. A lot of

52
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: people jump out their own faith. I don't recommend that

53
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: unless you have a plan underneath the faith, next to

54
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 1: the faith, above the faith, because you cannot go on

55
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: any business plan, any life level just only emotions. It

56
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: has to be driven by something because emotion is not sustainable. Emotion.

57
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: Let me say that one more time. Emotion is not sustainable.

58
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: But a plan is sustainable because it allows you to

59
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: see what you need to do when things go wrong.

253
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: hello everyone. Hey Jay, how you doing to be here?

254
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: Glad to be here? Hey man, I appreciate you taking

255
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: the time because I know who I'm talking to. Well,

256
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 1: let's get started here, man. First of all, we got

257
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: two breaks here, so I want to take my time

258
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: just talk about your journey, because that's what this show

259
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: is all about. And that's what I appreciated about your

260
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: book because a lot of people always see the end game,

261
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: and the end game is you know, they see people successful,

262
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: But that beginning game is what is so key to

263
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: making you successful. Am I correct in making that statement? No,

264
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: you very much correct, very much correct. And the actually

265
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: to add to that, there's also another part of it

266
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: when when when you look at the end game, where

267
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: is the end game gonna be? You know, it could

268
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: never end, and sometimes it ends. You know that is

269
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: you say that. And it's really crazy because my wife

270
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: always tells me I never appreciate my success because I

271
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: don't you know, maybe I'm wrong, but I moved once

272
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: I complete a goal, I moved to the next goal.

273
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: And because I don't, I think that's how it really works.

274
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: And then then I realized what I've accomplished maybe months later,

275
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: but I never realized what I accomplished immediately because I'm

276
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: constantly readjusting the plan. I think that's where a lot

277
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: of people make a mistake on they reached their goal

278
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 1: and they feel, like you just said, they feel that's

279
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 1: it h and that's not true exactly, And that's what

280
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: you're trying to convey in your book. Correct correct now

281
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: and saying that what when you when you sat down,

282
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: Because I wanted to bring up his name because it

283
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: was very instrumental, Ted mc mcmc lineman, Ted mcgomo, Now

284
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: you said when you read his book, it changed your

285
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: whole focus, your whole approach to how you looked at

286
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: how you have been handling money. How get somebody you

287
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: successful that when you read this book now, it wasn't

288
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: like back in ninety two, No, you're successful not. Why

289
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: Why can I can read the book? Because I want

290
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: to let people know that you can. It's never too

291
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: late in the game to re educate yourself or educate

292
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: yourself and adjust how you doing business. How could he

293
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: have to have that big of an impact on you? Well, basically,

294
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, I came up in the world of of

295
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: of of of people, you know, kind of show me.

Speaker 1: And I never really understood that. But again, you know

304
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 1: what I would do is I would you know, when

305
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: when we start first started making more a bunch of money,

306
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: first thing I want to do is go out. First

307
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: thing I want to do is go out and buy stuff.

308
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,679
Speaker 1: You know, all the things I've never had, you know,

309
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: all the things that you know, my parents lever was

310
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: able to get me. You know I've had I've had.

311
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: You know, if if you grew up in a household

312
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 1: with only one of two TVs, you know, and you

313
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: have to share it, you know, first thing you do

314
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: is when you get your your first home, is you

315
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: put a TV in every room. Ain't with that, you know,

316
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 1: you know, but but there's nothing wrong with that. But

317
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: then it comes to a point where there where you

318
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: have to draw the line and and and do things differently.

319
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: And one the value of that book of tem mcliman's book,

320
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 1: um And and the Corporation, the collaboration between us two

321
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 1: was the fact that he made me understand that I

322
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: was a spender. Wow, who once you once your blind

323
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 1: phones took the right so they again. You know, if

324
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: you as you say, if you're at it, you know,

325
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: once you understand that that's what you are, then you

326
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 1: could begin to kind of help and and and and

327
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: change your problem or change the situation. I had to

328
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: understand that what I don't you know, I just couldn't

329
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 1: take momm My money came in and I just had

330
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 1: to kind of give it to somebody else to kind

331
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: of manage, because if not, it's all going right, right right,

332
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you something, right, you're not along

333
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: in that journey. I remember when I was going up

334
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: through the television started getting bigger and bigger than the

335
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: money was bigger, you know. I remember one time I

336
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: had like three Mercedes, you know, I had I had

337
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: I had the email, I had the email sup to

338
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: AMG version and just a regular email and then I

339
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: had a three three three twenty. It was like, okay,

340
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: why are you why are you driving all these vehicles?

341
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: And you can't drive all these vehicles? So so but

342
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: what but what? What? What? Because I want to be

343
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: honest with with my listeners and also with you, because

344
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: I think were connected a little bit, because I was

345
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: just driven by just because I could buy it, and

346
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: and that's dangerous. Correct, yes, very much, angels. And I

347
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: can tell you even in a small, small tale, Um,

348
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: I writing a book about you know, just going to

349
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,439
Speaker 1: a hotel and you go and you just go to

350
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: the mini bar, right and you go to the mini bar,

351
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: and you think, okay, because of convenience, Hey, I'm just

352
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: gonna just take I'm gonna take this this bottle of

353
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: little little bottle of liquor. But that same little bottle

354
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 1: look is the same prices as a three leader. You know,

355
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: you think about it because convenience, you just do it.

356
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something, man, I was just I'm

357
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: in Houston right now. I was in l A this

358
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: weekend and we were staying at Intercontinental Hotel. And so

359
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: this is just so funny you say that because I

360
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: looked at the mini bar, and I wanted one of

361
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: those some Eminem's and peanuts, and that Eminem's and peanuts

362
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: was five dollars in that room. I just got pushed

363
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: my button, went down the hotel and got it for

364
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: a dollar and it looked concessious, stand right, and it's

365
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: out of the hotel. So so it's like, you know,

366
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: you said, well, if you got to spend it, but

367
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: if you why just take the time to readjust your

368
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 1: thought part them, because if you wasted it on a

369
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: candy bar or ten dollar beer or eight dollar sprite

370
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: out of that refrigerator in the hotel, that means that

371
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: you're making that same area r elsewhere in your in

372
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 1: your financial planning. Correct, correct, correct, And I'm not I'm

373
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: not claiming to be and no, no am I claiming

374
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: to be or saying that I'm you know, some big,

375
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: you know, master wiz when it comes to money. That's

376
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: why again, like why I hooked up with Ted, you know,

377
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: Ted is more, you know, more, more, more of that.

378
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: But what I did have to understand is, okay, j

379
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: if you want to have money for the rest of

380
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: your life and you then you need to take of

381
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: something else. They're changing the value taking away. You know,

382
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: I laughed because you never saying this is that you

383
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: are me and I'm you, because because it took me

384
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: a minute and I was going, like, who am I

385
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: competing with? You know, because obviously when you're into that

386
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: kind of money, you have to say, who are you

387
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: competing with? You? You're obviously competing with somebody. If you're

388
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: spending money ridiculously like this, you know, just just you know,

389
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 1: whatever whatever in your pocket, you know you're you're spending it.

390
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: It's not even standing there, it's just goals. And so

391
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: so my turning point for me was just to be

392
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: honest with myself and to be honest with what you're

393
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: doing is stupid. I had to tell myself, you're stupid, Rashan,

394
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: this makes no sense what you're doing. You're stupid, and

395
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 1: that when I when I made that confession to myself,

396
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: it really helped me. It really helped me. And what

397
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: I know that the book helped you, the relationship with

398
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,439
Speaker 1: Ted helped you. But what were the honest statements that

399
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 1: you made to yourself that turned you around? Well, I mean, listen, honestly,

400
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: the facts of facts. You look at your beck account

401
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: right at the end of the year, and and it

402
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: is nothing confair to what you had before. And then

403
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: you look at you know, if you look at the

404
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: America spresto and then basically itemized um, you know everything entertainment,

405
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: touch and and and food and you know, and and

406
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: bills and utilities and all that stuff like that. And

407
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: when you look at it and you see how much

408
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: you spent on just thinking you had fun, you know,

409
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: how much you spent are not necessarily keeping up with

410
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: the Joneses, but making yourself feel better? Right, you know, right,

411
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: because a lot of times it's a feel good you know,

412
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: when you walk up, when you walk into the mall

413
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: and you look to the left and you see sale,

414
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 1: you think you did something right. You think, okay, well

415
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: you know, but but you know that better than anybody,

416
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: Mr clothing Man business, like I know better. It's a

417
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: couple of quotes I want to pull from your book

418
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: I want to read is like you said this, most

419
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: everything you know about money, do you? Meaning you Jay?

421
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: hard way by trial and error. You also said, the

422
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: purpose of this book is to create a sound force

423
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: of reason and your money making decisions. Like it because

424
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people put their decisions on faith only

425
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: that right there is a major mistake. And then you

426
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: said your financial engagement should be Twitter four seven, three

427
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty five days a year. That's that's I'm

Speaker 1: the Rise platform. Is to let people know that I'm

433
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: recommending this book because the fact that you should not

Speaker 1: be in a position to have any of your money

435
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: in a child trial and error. You know, you you

436
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: buy the car and a year later the car no

437
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 1: either maybe five hundred dollars or depending on the type

438
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: of car you get, and you realized, guess what, because

439
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: you know the anybody that people need to understand when

440
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: you start leasing these cars, they put they put a

441
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: mileage restriction on Yeah, so you really you know, you're

442
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,960
Speaker 1: not looking at that, You're looking at like, listen, I

443
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: got this car and everybody looking at me. Yeah. Yeah,

444
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: And that's right there. Let you know that you're not

445
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 1: in allowing yourself to really maximize the value of the

446
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: money you're putting out there. Right If somebody telling you

447
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: you can only drive eleven thousand miles a year, okay,

448
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: that means you have to look at that car a

449
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: different way. And that's how you wind up getting multiple

450
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: cars because of the fact that that car to you

451
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: hit that limit is gonna come up. So you go, okay,

452
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,360
Speaker 1: I don't wanna get penalized. You know when they when

453
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: I turn it in because I've seen them, let me

454
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: go get this other car. So you just start sliding

455
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: from one era to the next era. And that's the

456
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: trial and era that you're talking about, because you talk

457
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 1: about the Rolex watches, all those things that you said, Hey, man,

458
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: if I spent sixty dollars, I spent sixty dollars on

Speaker 1: the co op program, and it just and and and

510
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: and so and so. But but your initial start to

511
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,200
Speaker 1: all this was you thought your way to life was

512
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: going to be the Navy. Yeah, and you and you

513
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: got injured in a cab ride, which you said in

514
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:53,959
Speaker 1: the book your host felt the safest way, the traveler

515
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: of the cab. And you want to get injured in

516
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: a cab And so that was that was the first

517
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: kind of like turn in your life that pushed you

518
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: in a different direction that you didn't expect to go.

519
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: And and so so when you met these guys and

520
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: you got to your start, understand that you all have

521
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 1: similar values, that's what that's what really galvanized at all.

522
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: What was the was the turning point that said, you know,

523
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: foo boo the logo, it was inspirational when it was

524
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,680
Speaker 1: shown to you. But but damon, what made you say

525
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: we can do this? Because that's when the people need

526
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: to hear. When they got all these ideas, they got

527
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: all what was the thing? What were the things in

528
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 1: place that made you say we can do this? Well?

529
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: You know, funny thing about me, people always ask how

530
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 1: do you do stuff? Or or how did you get

531
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: to hear or what was what was the actual method?

532
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: I think, to be honest, it's drive. And you have

533
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: to have a certain drive to just do anything. I

534
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: don't care if it's to study for tests, to go

535
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: to school, and to start a business, if it's even

536
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 1: just the work, you know, and and work for somebody.

537
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 1: You have to have a certain drive. And my drive

538
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: was to be more of an entrepreneur and to be

539
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 1: successful because I've seen people around me that was successful,

540
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: you know, and not necessarily saying that they were mentors

541
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: or anything, but just you know, I just saw success

542
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,840
Speaker 1: and that's what I wanted and you got it, and

543
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: you got it and I got it and by any

544
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: means necessary and necessary to say, any means that served

545
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: as far as as far as you know, in any

546
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: derogatory way or absolutely any But but you know, I'm

547
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: gonna work. I'm gonna work, and I'm gonna work, and

548
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm continue working and continue work and continue working, you know,

549
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: to make it reality. But but one thing about if

550
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: you're making things reality to just to throw out is

551
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,959
Speaker 1: that you have to understand what reality is. You know,

552
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: you can't be, for one talking about I'm gonna be

553
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 1: a sinner, right And that's and I want to back

554
00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: up what you said about any means necessary, any means necessary.

555
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: If that if you if it's twenty four hours in

556
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: the day, you learn to use every hour in the day.

557
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: If you gotta stay away for twenty five hours in

558
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: that same day, you stay up for twenty five hours,

559
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: that's the enemy enemies necessarily that you're talking. You have

560
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: to if you have to do every job in that business,

561
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 1: then that enemies certain. You know, some people just you know,

562
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: there's a certain I think I don't want to see

563
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: people lazy. Some people are, you know, they wanted fast.

564
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: You know, I understand that I have to go through

565
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: the grind and you can't cheat. Work, you know, work, work,

566
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: those difference you're gonna achieve. That's true. That's true because

567
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: I know that, and I don't I don't love. I'd

568
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: never allowed my employees to frustrate me because sometimes because everybody,

569
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: like you said, it isn't made from the same cloth,

570
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: are built from the same model, and so you just

571
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: hire people, but they're not visionaries. And that's what a

572
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: lot of people have to understand that if you was

573
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: hiring visionaries, they're not gonna be working for you long anyway.

574
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: But if you're hiring employees, understand that you're hiring them

575
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 1: for a particular task. Don't expect them to come in

576
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:02,479
Speaker 1: there and suddenly go and be over that engaging and

577
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: and and and thinking ahead of the curve or thinking

578
00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: a month in advance, or thinking of different ways to

579
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: to make your business more successful. They're basically gonna do

580
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 1: what you hired them for that, y'all. And that's what

581
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: people make a mistake too. They just well, she's sorry,

582
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 1: he's sorry, Well, okay, is he? Why? Because I expected

583
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: more of them? Okay? Was that part of the job description?

584
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: I expected more out of you? Was that written out

585
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,080
Speaker 1: in the job description? I expected more out of you?

586
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: And if it was, what was written next to the

587
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: mo because they need to know that so they can

588
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: do the job you want them to do. Now, now

589
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: you got one of the jobs that interests me the

590
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: most is that you're the president of the New York

591
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: State Black Chamber of Commerce. Please tell me exactly what

592
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: is that and how do you empower people with that position? Well, well, basically,

593
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 1: give you the bad story one um one, we laughed

594
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,720
Speaker 1: because I say, you know, Damon's shark and I'm the

595
00:32:56,720 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 1: dolphin's true, true true. I basically I UM at one

596
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: of the trips to Africa and I met the president

597
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: of the National Black chamb of Commerce. So I walked

598
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: up to them and I said, you know, I'm the

599
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: quintessential black owned business. Like if you know money, everyone

600
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,440
Speaker 1: knows fruit, but when it comes to business, why I

601
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: don't know you? Why you don't know me? So he

602
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: looked at me like huh, and I said, yeah, why

603
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:25,360
Speaker 1: do you don't know me? Who you know? Why we

604
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 1: don't know each other. So from then on we start

605
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: a relationship. So I started helping them, the National Black

606
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: Chamans out for a while and um helping them speaking

607
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: engagement things like that, you know, and actually just putting

608
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: in my time. You know. It was just wasn't a

609
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 1: paid gig nothing like that. It was just just what

610
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: I what I wanted to do, because it's to help

611
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: because again I'm a you know, black owned business and respects.

00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: I want to help and bring more, you know, and

613
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: create more black owned businesses. So they wanted to put

614
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 1: me on the board. And then after that they wanted

615
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: to start a New York chapter, uh new York State chapter.

616
00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 1: So they was, you know, they kept up, Jay, you know,

618
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: come on, man, you know my time is really you know,

619
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: is it's difficult. I don't know if I can be

620
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: able to do this. So after a while, with a

621
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 1: lot of cohercing and cohercing, I foundly said, Okay, let's

622
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: do it. So I started that. Basically, what it does

623
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: is basically helps you know, uh um, you know urban

624
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: And I don't want to just say black because again,

00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: you know, it is for us to help us and

626
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,080
Speaker 1: we all four fights. But in turn, we still have

627
00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: to open our arms out to a lot of different

628
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: businesses because if we don't, you know, grow, we can't

629
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: grow with We can grow within ourselves, but we can

630
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,960

644
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: go to something even closer to you. Fooboo tv M. Yes,

645
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: well your vision your vision, yes, yes, well, well basically

646
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: what foo boo of course has been around for it

647
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:38,359
Speaker 1: since you know, actually we're going on anniversary. UM. So

648
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 1: we've been around for a long time. And as you

649
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: in business, you have to kind of you know, we

650
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: always tell us tell everybody we used to seek when

651
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: people's act and entertainment right now is the kind of

652
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 1: the focal point of how you market you know, your

653
00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: clothing or market anything. So in turn, instead of we

654
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,960
Speaker 1: always used to say to us, so, why why don't

655
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,879
Speaker 1: we just do it ourselves? So and so and we've

656
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: had you know, a number of licensees. So what we

657
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 1: did was saying, you know, why don't we start our

658
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 1: own licensees. I started the television division and respect because

659
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: I know that if I instead of me buying uh

660
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: time and on others situations, I'll might as well buy

661
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: time I own, you know, and then I create shows

662
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: and put puente put you know, my clothing and my shows,

663
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 1: you know, so so I could do it myself. You know,

664
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: you know that's what we did. UM. We actually grown

665
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 1: to be uh. UM. We started out with a video

666
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:36,760
Speaker 1: on demand, UM we have We're on UM Comcast, we're

667
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: on Verizon and we're on UM I'm sorry, Frontier, and

668
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: we have a couple of other deals that depending. I

669
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: can't mention it yet until actually um, but um eventually uh.

670
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: And we did this and respects the video demand because

671
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 1: one you know, and I don't want to call it

672
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: the starter kit per se, but you know, respects it

673
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: is UM and we do video on demand. And that's

674
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 1: where you know, all the millenniums are actually looking and

675
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: they want TV when they want it, and they want

676
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: it now. You know, no one just wants to go.

677
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: You know, everybody's time is valuable, so they have they

678
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: kind of want to watch TV when they when they

679
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: have to, when they went when they want to rather,

680
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:15,560
Speaker 1: So that's why we did that first, and eventually you

681
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: probably will go off and and and have a full

682
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: fledged UH network. But brought up being the more in

683
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,720

00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: answer your question. Um. I definitely think that it came

982
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:43,799
Speaker 1: so um organically because yeah, because we had um the

983
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: whole the whole pathway towards doing the reality ship we

984
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 1: have with our family need to Smith Um. That involved

985
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 1: creating a commercial for Hundai and through that we realized

986
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 1: that we were able to work together as producers and

987
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: that was why we were able to executives with produced

988
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 1: meet the Smiths and you know that was a huge

989
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 1: amount of work because realized what it was like to

990
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 1: be behind the scenes. Welcome to my world. Welcome to

991
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: my world. Welcome to my world. Yes, I mean you know,

00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: the stalls leaders no no, no, no, no, no, the

993
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: stars leader set. I'm still there. Okay, I'm still there,

994
00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: light bub, Okay, what we're doing tomorrow? Okay, welcome to

995
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: my world. I had to stop to see people on

996
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: this bed. That producing side, man, it's really what makes

997
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: it all work. That's what don't come together. You know,

998
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: it's like it's NonStop, you know, NonStop. If you want

999
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 1: something to be the vision that you had in your mind,

1000
00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:56,800
Speaker 1: you are solely responsible from making sure that everything comes together.

1001
00:54:56,840 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: You're stitching every single piece of it together. So, you know,

1002
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: we were able to actually do that producer side as

1003
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:06,240
Speaker 1: well as be the talent on the show as well,

1004
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: which of course is a whole another animal to take on.

1005
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 1: But we did it, and we did it very successfully

1006
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,800
Speaker 1: and um so through that we were able to realize

1007
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: we could do more, which is what led onto I

1008
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: TV today. Not Kenny Boy, We've been talking a little

1009
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 1: time about Here's the Beauty by Kenny Kenny. Kenny's as

1010
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: a producer, entrepreneur trapped in a basketball player's body. I

1011
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 1: love that. That's this man. I'm telling you this, dude,

1012
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: we sit out with me and Steve Harvey pitching ideas.

1013
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: I want to do talk shows. I want to do

1014
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: one on one shows. And they've done they've they've kind

1015
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 1: of let people have like bitten off his ideas over

1016
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: the years. And I know he's been mad too, man.

1017
00:55:54,719 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: I feel what overall? You know, honestly, you know yourself

1018
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:03,840
Speaker 1: and probably by two other mentors that kind of like

1019
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 1: that you just kind of watch from a fall or

1020
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, talk to directly about ideas and things. You know,

1021
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 1: how to get things off the ground. You know, everybody

1022
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: has great ideas that I've always heard that if you

1023
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: have an idea, there's probably tend people in the world

1024
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 1: that's having an exact same idea at the same time.

1025
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,439
Speaker 1: So how do you get it off the ground? Uh?

1026
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 1: Is really? Then? I you know what I did with

1027
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,360
Speaker 1: Sean and we started doing for me. I just started

1028
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: taking a basketball approaching when I when I when I

1029
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: get the basketball, I'm a point guard. You throw it

1030
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 1: to me and we're about to do the fast break

1031
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 1: behind me, I have to look ahead of me. I

1032
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: have to look both sides. So I'm already taking a

1033
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 1: mental picture of what needs to happen before I pass

1034
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: you the ball or lay it in myself. So when

1035
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:53,600
Speaker 1: I when we started doing that and kind of taking

1036
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: that mental picture and saying, okay, we're in this step

1037
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: because sports and entertainment is similar. But the difference to

1038
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 1: me when you it's entertainment, it's not a destination. It's

1039
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 1: just a vacation. So you're really not at that spot

1040
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: where you're going to be next. So even if it's

1041
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,239
Speaker 1: a movie, let's say, and let's say we produce this

1042
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 1: great movie, you're only going to produce it for three

1043
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 1: months and then you're done and you got it. It's

1044
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:21,960
Speaker 1: just a vacation. You're never there for an extended period

1045
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: of time. And then then you don't get disappointed when

1046
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,280
Speaker 1: you know you're only in a vacation. Oh they stopped

1047
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: your series. Oh they didn't even give you a series,

1048
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: Oh because you said a case in anyway? Right? Right?

1049
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: You know with what it's different? Where what's a destination?

1050
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: When you get to the NBA, is you get a

1051
00:57:40,920 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: seven year deal? You can at ten year deal, you

1052
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: get an eight year dealt. It's a destination. It's different,

1053
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: totally different in entertainment, and then you can you can

1054
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: work without being disappointed and you can just know that

1055
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 1: you're working towards something. I'm gonna tell you what. I'm

1056
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 1: excited about having you guys on the because Gwendolin Uh,

1060
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,880
Speaker 1: figuring out ways to flip a dollar, good dollar, how

1061
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,120
Speaker 1: to take advantage of the moment. You know. That's that's

1062
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: his m O. That's his m O. The reason I

1063
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 1: like this partnership between you and him, he needs you,

1064
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: you know because and I'm saying that in a good way,

1065
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,160
Speaker 1: because when when we would talk, you know, we would

1066
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,880
Speaker 1: we will step away and then we might see each

1067
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 1: other months. But see now he has you on the

1068
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: day to day, and I think that's important. That's gonna

1069
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 1: allow him to evolve to all the gifts that he has.

1070
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 1: I think that's because of the fact that the short

1071
00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: time we know, we met at the Neighborhood Awards, and

1072
00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: I followed your career and it's always been real consistent.

1073
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 1: It's always been. You know, you have a certain style

1074
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: about yourself. You know when to say no, I'm not

1075
00:58:50,560 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 1: gonna do that. You know, you said, this is my brain.

1076
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: You're very brand protective and so having a partner now,

1077
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: I think that he can communicate with on a regular

1078
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:02,560
Speaker 1: basis and have one of these mentors who are quite

1079
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: frankly at times, focused on what we're doing more than

1080
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: what he wants to get done. I think it's a blessing.

1081
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: And am I wrong in saying that team right now?

1082
00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: I think you're very right, and that you know him

1083
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 1: in different areas where he compliments me in different areas,

1084
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: and I think that the proof is right here of

1085
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:27,440
Speaker 1: what we can accomplish by working hard together. And we

1086
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 1: do have very different styles. And I don't say that

1087
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: you know because you're headstrong. You are headstrong when I

1088
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 1: know that for a fact you're head strong. Yes, it's

1089
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: the thing about the kid, you know, the one time

1090
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 1: I met her in person, she will order me around politely,

1091
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: though where's the cake? Where's the cake? Hey, I'm the

1092
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: executive producer of the show. I don't go do stuff,

1093
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 1: but I think I better go do it because Gwen

1094
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 1: has asked me to, you know, and that's a powerful

1095
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 1: skill set to have because it's you know, it's always funny.

1096
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey, you st always tell me so rich, I

1097
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 1: don't care where were at, what city were How is

1098
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: it that you can come on a television show that

1099
01:00:20,400 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 1: has nothing new with you but start giving out harders

1100
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:28,080
Speaker 1: and the crazy part of it people listen to you. Yeah, Well,

1101
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: it's you know, when you have your opinion, you know

1102
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 1: that the end result is going to be great for everybody,

1103
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: you know. I just feel like, I don't know, I

1104
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 1: think it's something that's born in certain people. It is

1105
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: definitely born in me, and I see it's born in

1106
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 1: my daughter. She's going to be exactly the same way

1107
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: that one. You know, So it's like it's just born

1108
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: in you to know that you have the type of

1109
01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: confidence to deal with people, to know that you know

1110
01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,960
Speaker 1: that the train's gonna go smoothly and you want everybody

1111
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: to be on it. And it's definitely been a working

1112
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: progress for me to figure out how to even work

1113
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: you know, the best angles of myself and and make

1114
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: it effective. You know. So I'm sure that you know

1115
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 1: you've gone through the same thing, you know many years ago, Rashan,

1116
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: I mean, let me get you a quick story. So

1117
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: this this sums up going to len to me, I

1118
01:01:15,760 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 1: think you know, I would we would go this is

1119
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: years before all of this stuff going on. We would

1120
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: go to a grocery store. She said, oh, you know what,

1121
01:01:25,800 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 1: I forgot to get the milk. Could you run back

1122
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,280
Speaker 1: and get the milk? Okay? Problem? And by time I

1123
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: come back with the milk, now I'm literally I'm just

1124
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 1: going to get the milk and come back. The lady

1125
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 1: in front of her is in tears, crying on her shoulder,

1126
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what happened. She's like, oh, she just

1127
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: told me about the situation. And I'm like, how did

1128
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 1: you get in a minute, this lady to give you

1129
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 1: such personal details? Right? And what I've realized that how

1130
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 1: that works over the years is that Gwen hasn't innate

1131
01:01:55,760 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 1: ability to ask the hard question. And I don't always

1132
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: have that in the ability to ask the hard questions.

1133
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: That's why y'all perfect man, right, right? And she asked

1134
01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 1: you asked a hard questions like hey, just saying hey,

1135
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 1: are you okay? Hey? How would you She goes, hey,

1136
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 1: you don't look okay today, Yes, that's a different question,

1137
01:02:17,200 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 1: different questions, and that gets a different response. She's ready

1138
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 1: to ask the hard questions. Okay, okay, now that that

1139
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: that goes to the question, Okay, now, where is y'all

1140
01:02:27,840 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 1: show it? That that's the question I gotta ask. We're

1141
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:34,439
Speaker 1: gonna ask that question when we go to the break.

1142
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 1: Where is y'all questions? Where is y'all show being pitched

1143
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: there right now? Because both of y'all look good, both

1144
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 1: of y'all articulate, both of y'all could talk on anything,

1145
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 1: and you know, she got the international flavor. You know,

1146
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 1: she can go English on you, and then she can

1147
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 1: go American English on you. So she'll throw your curve,

1148
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: think you're talking to her sister in the streets, and

1149
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,480
Speaker 1: then she busts out with that accent. You go, okay,

1150
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:59,160
Speaker 1: what country am talking to that? Don't forget the Jamaican

1151
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 1: side even can fuss out in some of that as well.

1152
01:03:10,400 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: So so Kenny Ken, Okay, that's that's the KNG show,

1153
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: Ken g in the morning, the day that talks to

1154
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: you for everybody, where is that show at y'all? Come on, kid,

1155
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: you know that that's always been his dream that's always

1156
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: been the Kenny's dream, the host of talk show type format.

1157
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:33,560
Speaker 1: And now he got a riding partner like you that

1158
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: at least has to be in the works because when

1159
01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: you come back and we'll talk about the other stuff.

1160
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,560
Speaker 1: But let's let our fans know, your fans know, is

1161
01:03:40,600 --> 01:03:44,480
Speaker 1: that even a possibility. It definitely is a possibility. I

1162
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: think the one thing now is like we had to

1163
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: describe what's to just deal with I t V D

1164
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 1: still and you know, you know these budgets that we have,

1165
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: we have to kind of really know what that is.

1166
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: And so we can now we could concentrate back on

1167
01:04:00,960 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: being talent a little bit where it was Wait a minute,

1168
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: you got twenty three new people working with you, like

1169
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: and now you got twenty three people at their disposal.

1170
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: So you do and how you make that work? And

1171
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 1: who you know? What if you know you walk in

1172
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:22,960
Speaker 1: that first day? So brother, what do you actually do? Yes? Yes,

1173
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: I've been that. You don't even know what these people do?

1174
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: So no, no, no, this side really works. Kenny walks

01:04:31,040 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: in the green and go what do they do out there?

01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: just tell you a little bit when when this deal.

1210
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 1: When Doc Kenney called me, he's Rashaan, did you get

1211
01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: to read the paper? Did you hear what's happening? He said,

1212
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: Let's do something. And I'm gonna tell you something. What

1213
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: I like about this interview is that we're not talking

1214
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: about what you've done in the past. When we're not

1215
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 1: talking about the prices, right, we're not even talking about

1216
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:42,480
Speaker 1: the NBA on TNT and we're talking about your brands

1217
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: moving forward, how you're going to change the game. And

1218
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:48,000
Speaker 1: I remember when Kenny called me, I was still there

1219
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,360
Speaker 1: trying to figure out who Sean is trying to define

1220
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: my place, you know, And I know how important that

1221
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: is when we have this conversation, because you can't really

1222
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 1: be successful. You can participate, but that doesn't mean you're

1223
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: gonna be successful if you don't know who you are

1224
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 1: and who you're talking to. And I clearly see what

1225
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. That's why I had to say, you

1226
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 1: guys are gonna do your own TV show because y'all

1227
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 1: clearly y'all got this deal, and y'all will do this

1228
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: deal at the utmost, and you're gonna you're gonna you're

1229
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 1: gonna get the right relationships. You're gonna get a TV on,

1230
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 1: You're gonna syndication with digital, you're gonna be on social,

1231
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna do some game changing program because

1232
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: there's too many outlets out there that you cannot get

1233
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: your voice hurried on. But the one thing I really

1234
01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: like the fact is that I'm talking to two individuals

1235
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:36,800
Speaker 1: and I see future opportunities within yourself that has nothing

1236
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: to do with your past, and that's amazing, that's amazing.

1237
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 1: M I got the kid. You know me? Can you know,

1238
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 1: Kenn you know you know I'm gonna tell you something.

1239
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: What the one thing about me is that it isn't

1240
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: I always tell people as to say that I have

1241
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: it's not about it's about the money, but it's not

1242
01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 1: about the money. It's more about the relationship. And people

1243
01:07:57,440 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: come to me all the time with ideas. Famous people

1244
01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 1: get calls all the time for people wanted advice and

1245
01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 1: keeping them on the right track. Richard, what should I

1246
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 1: do in this contract being brought up? And I just

1247
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: tell him because I've been fortunate in my life, you know,

1248
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 1: to have all these personal experience. When people saw Steve

1249
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 1: as a black comment where they we wasn't touching him.

1250
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: So I had to do all the deals. I had

1251
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,560
Speaker 1: to do, the book deals, the radio deals, the syndication

1252
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 1: deal of family, field deals, the movie deals, the book

1253
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 1: deals of Harper College. Because they didn't see what I

1254
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 1: what I saw. But I always know that when I

1255
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 1: talked to individuals, I know that it's about the team.

1256
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,360
Speaker 1: So when he called me, he said, Rashane, I got

1257
01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: these Stephan Curry interviews lined up, you know, and they

1258
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 1: don't let everybody talk to them. So he knew he

1259
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:42,320
Speaker 1: was at the forefront of of unusual opportunities. It's just

1260
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: that so he was not. So I appreciate the fact

1261
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 1: he goes he's trying to assimilate a team around him

1262
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 1: of winners and when it and that's what that was

1263
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: important for me to hear that from you, because a

1264
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 1: lot of people get these deals and what they do

1265
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: is they go right back to the same people who

1266
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 1: keep failing. And then they say this successfully, they put

1267
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: out the resume, they say, well, I know you, I

1268
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:05,879
Speaker 1: know you, but don't know you. That's what makes me mad.

1269
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: They don't know you. They even though they might saw

1270
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 1: a half hour on NBA. You've been crazy with Shack,

1271
01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:15,760
Speaker 1: But that ain't you, right, you know, that ain't your

1272
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 1: you know what's called let's go all the way back

1273
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 1: to North Carolina. You know, when you injured your knee

1274
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:23,560
Speaker 1: and was playing the same season, like, okay, didn't the

1275
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,640
Speaker 1: dude did that dude just injured his knee. How's he

1276
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: playing in the same season and something. That's the type

1277
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: of man that you are, you know. And then and

1278
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: then when and then and then when I when I

1279
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: see the love and the passion and the respect that

1280
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: you have for your wife, not that just as the

1281
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 1: fact that she's your wife, but she's a thinking woman

1282
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: and not thinking. What he said, the modern day power

1283
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,680
Speaker 1: couple is. That's what Brent was saying, is that you

1284
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 1: guys are game changers. Don't forget that. M hmm, well, I, oh, Kenny,

1285
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:02,559
Speaker 1: did I leave Gwin speechless? You left? No. I just

1286
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 1: want to make sure that Kenny gets the stay. I

1287
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 1: just want to agree with everything you said. I think

1288
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:15,759
Speaker 1: that you know you not only in in short spurts

1289
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:18,120
Speaker 1: that we did together, but even over the law haul,

1290
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 1: you kind of stitched everything together. And that's why, you

1291
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 1: know when things happen, you know, like let me see

1292
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: what Rashaun's thinking about this, and you know, and a

1293
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 1: matter of fact, what was even funnier. Let me how

1294
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 1: how how funny how God was because I called you

1295
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:38,640
Speaker 1: to three days ago, right right right? But let me

1296
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 1: say this, I didn't know that this was being set

1297
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,439
Speaker 1: up for a schedule interview, calling the whole different matter

1298
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: and do that same hour talk that we normally do.

1299
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 1: I didn't even know. And then I was like oh,

1300
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 1: they called me to do an interview. It was the

1301
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 1: same like an hour or two later, I who had

1302
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:03,200
Speaker 1: existed to other So, but I think overall, you hit

1303
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 1: it on the head about the relationship is understanding. You

1304
01:11:07,320 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 1: know power. You know when you say power, power comes

1305
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 1: from strength, But power also comes from knowing your weaknesses,

1306
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:17,600
Speaker 1: you know. And I think also, you know what a

1307
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,800
Speaker 1: lot of the weaknesses that I have when it's able

1308
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 1: to fill in, and some of the weaknesses that she has.

1309
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 1: And we haven't not less talked about it, but I

1310
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 1: will point it out because he's got to be able

1311
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 1: to see it, to be able to resolve it and

1312
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 1: make it start. I think at times though, the only

1313
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:37,080
Speaker 1: you know. Then I go back to talent. I sent

1314
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 1: the talent, I said, well, that ain't your only job

1315
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: either to point out my week. You get a little sensitive,

1316
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: but it's true, but it's needed because I think overall

1317
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:52,160
Speaker 1: it gives you a different perspective. It's like it's like

1318
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 1: and going back to sports again, there's a coach that yells,

1319
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 1: there's a coach that doesn't yell, and there's a coaches's

1320
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: in the middle, and they all can win championships, but

1321
01:12:03,040 --> 01:12:05,000
Speaker 1: you have to know what you are, Like you said

1322
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the show, what are you and

1323
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: what's gonna be most effective for you? Ahead if you

1324
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:14,040
Speaker 1: don't know it's gonna be most effective, then all of

1325
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 1: a sudden, you you're just trying out. You're trying how

1326
01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:19,439
Speaker 1: suits that don't fit you know what I mean? And

1327
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 1: you just if they'll never fit and you'll never see

1328
01:12:22,439 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: be be there. But the one thing that you said,

1329
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 1: and I was like, when to kind of add on,

1330
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: is that again, we're never in the spot where at

1331
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:34,920
Speaker 1: if you always think about where you're at, it's like,

1332
01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:38,719
Speaker 1: how does this spot project you? And and and and

1333
01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 1: and push you into a differant direction, no matter how

1334
01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: small and how big is it is. And the last

1335
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:46,360
Speaker 1: thing I'll say on that restaurance we had a like

1336
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:51,320
Speaker 1: I'll deal started from me saying no to a commercial

1337
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:56,639
Speaker 1: something a company asked me and I said, no, I'm

1338
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: not gonna do it. I said, I'm not gonna take

1339
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 1: myself out of the category for that small amount. Right

1340
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: the head of our company calls me and I need

01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 1: and they're gonna do a good job at it. So

1358
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 1: then we take that and Gwen goes, well, we have

1359
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:07,599
Speaker 1: this deal, so how are we gonna you know, we're

1360
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:10,520
Speaker 1: gonna shoot this commercial. I said, let's shoot a commercial,

1361
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 1: but make it like a reality show. And then we're

1362
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 1: gonna take that and we'll sell it and use that

1363
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,639
Speaker 1: as our silver real That's how we snip so all

1364
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,719
Speaker 1: because I said no initially, which was what I didn't

1365
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,760
Speaker 1: want to do. But then it came up with projection

1366
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:33,679
Speaker 1: of well do it, but make it do something else right, right, right,

1367
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 1: And that's amazing. That's the story of us so far.

1368
01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 1: And because because a lot of people don't know, they

1369
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 1: they're afraid. But I would tell people no can be

1370
01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 1: a word that you can like give it a different answer,

1371
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 1: and it's still is no. Yeah. And you know what,

1372
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:53,759
Speaker 1: you know, the difference between a budget between the talent

1373
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:57,280
Speaker 1: budget that's low and a production budget that's really high.

1374
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:02,719
Speaker 1: There you go, there, you go, I love she hears

1375
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:05,759
Speaker 1: different things and she goes, you're right, you're right about that. Sean,

1376
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: You're right, You're right, You're right, you're right. You know,

1377
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:14,200
Speaker 1: I know does have many connotations. You know, that's how

1378
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:17,200
Speaker 1: you say it. That's why you're gonna be successful. So

1379
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:19,000
Speaker 1: so let me ask you this. You know, because people

1380
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 1: are listening, they're gonna listen. How does one pitch ideas

1381
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 1: to this modern day power couple a couple? Is that possible?

1382
01:15:26,400 --> 01:15:28,160
Speaker 1: Or do they have to go through agents or do

1383
01:15:28,200 --> 01:15:30,160
Speaker 1: you have to go through managers? How do they do that?

1384
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 1: Quin you just simply give us a cool we have

1385
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: we haven't assisted. We have a senior vice president of

01:15:57,160 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 1: That sounds so simple. Come over, that sounds simple. But

1391
01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 1: let me tell you this. This is how you but this.

1392
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: There's a buffer. Let me tell you how you get

1393
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:08,120
Speaker 1: to do the buffer. Because there are a million as

1394
01:16:08,160 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 1: you know the show, and there a million great I did,

1395
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:15,519
Speaker 1: there's million great I did. But and I told that

1396
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:19,480
Speaker 1: we have close friends that are in the business. I said, okay,

1397
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:21,799
Speaker 1: he's they're pitching us ideas as we eat and dinner.

1398
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 1: They come over to eat. I'm like, hold on, let's

1399
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:27,200
Speaker 1: put the brakes on. I said, here's how you pitch.

1400
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 1: You make an appointment, but when you come in, it's

1401
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 1: still a buffer to kid to us. And then that

1402
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 1: you have to have executed every element of that show.

1403
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:44,920
Speaker 1: So here's the show, here's the idea. Here is the

1404
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 1: format of the show. Here's how the show translates, here's

1405
01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: the here's my production, here's my um, here's my talent,

1406
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,719
Speaker 1: that is listed that I will have. So and here's

1407
01:16:56,720 --> 01:17:01,200
Speaker 1: where I see the show. Where do you see your

1408
01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:04,759
Speaker 1: show when you sit down on your couch? What time

1409
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:07,680
Speaker 1: is it? Is it daytime? Is it nighttime? You know?

1410
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:11,160
Speaker 1: And and what channel do you want to see it on?

1411
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 1: What what's gonna be on before your show comes on?

1412
01:17:13,479 --> 01:17:17,080
Speaker 1: And what's gonna be on after your show airs? And

1413
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: and I always say, we have the triangle. This is

1414
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:21,439
Speaker 1: what I look for. And I look for a show

1415
01:17:22,000 --> 01:17:25,040
Speaker 1: I go, or an idea or a concept I go.

1416
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 1: The triangle is three pieces, right, there's funny and distribution right,

1417
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: there's talent, right, and then there's the idea. M If

1418
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:39,759
Speaker 1: you have two out of the three, I'll find the third. Wow,

1419
01:17:42,479 --> 01:17:45,760
Speaker 1: that's that. That's that's awesome. And and let me let

1420
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 1: me let me add this to it. Don't go in

1421
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: there pitching. You know this would Jamie fox would be

1422
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 1: the lead. But you ain't got a relationship with Jamie FOXX.

1423
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:56,760
Speaker 1: This is a great idea for Steve Harvey. This is

1424
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 1: a great idea for Justin tim of Lake. You know,

1425
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: oh quit, have you talked to Justin Timberla? No? No,

1426
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 1: no no, But if he if we're gonna make millions

1427
01:18:05,280 --> 01:18:08,719
Speaker 1: of dollars if we just get justin timerlate in this project.

1428
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:13,479
Speaker 1: You guys are talking about concert, I'll make millions of dollars.

1429
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 1: You're not telling me come on now, come on now.

1430
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 1: And so, so that's the that's the picture that you

1431
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 1: don't want to hear. The pitch you want to hear

1432
01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:22,720
Speaker 1: is to be broken down and it's amazing. I'm would

1433

Speaker 1: you got a credit car. Yeah, so finish your story.

1509
01:22:57,680 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: I had to mess you up on that one. Come on,

1510
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 1: let's talk. So no, but that's what usually I'll say

1511
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:05,800
Speaker 1: that when people will be like, oh, okay, yeah, I

1512
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 1: have seen their walls so because it's very noticeable and

1513
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:12,360
Speaker 1: their franchises all, you know, they all looks the same,

1514
01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 1: so you can't miss it. Um But anyway, so that's

1515
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 1: what I do, decorative painting or commercial and residential UM spaces.

1516
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: And I've also gotten into doing art directing and set

1517
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 1: design as well. And there's don't go there, there, don't

1518
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 1: go there yet. That's another conversation. Let's stay because I

1519
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:31,800
Speaker 1: don't get people too much. Let's talk about this fault.

1520
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 1: Because so when I bought my house in Atlanta. But

1521
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: it's two different types of for I'm gonna talk about

1522
01:23:37,240 --> 01:23:40,320
Speaker 1: in my office to Steve hard Radio Network, Uh, Steve

1523
01:23:40,400 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 1: Harvey wanted folk wanted his walls to be full painted design.

1524
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:45,720
Speaker 1: It was kind of like it's almost like if i'm

1525
01:23:46,080 --> 01:23:49,799
Speaker 1: it's almost like you're taking you're layering colors, but they're

1526
01:23:49,840 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 1: kind of like on top of each other, and you

1527
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:54,280
Speaker 1: can kind of like stop me. It's almost like you

1528
01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 1: kind of like smearing stuff and with a style. Correct. Yep,

1529
01:23:57,880 --> 01:24:01,599
Speaker 1: it's called a trowel okay now, and you do build

1530
01:24:01,640 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 1: it in layers. So it's so everything you do is original. Yes,

1531
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 1: it is. I go into my studio and I, you know, well,

1532
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:12,120
Speaker 1: initially I meet with the client first, and then I

1533
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:15,040
Speaker 1: go into the studio and I take the pictures that

1534
01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 1: I've taken up their homes or their businesses. Um. If

1535
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:21,080
Speaker 1: I if I have to meet with their designer, I'll

1536
01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:23,040
Speaker 1: do that and I'll have all the information, all of

1537
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:26,920
Speaker 1: their colors, their style, and then whatever they take from

1538
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 1: the consultations, I'll sit down and try to create something

1539
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:35,720
Speaker 1: custom just for them. Um. And it's very rare that

1540
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 1: I do the same theme twice actually, but I have

1541
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:41,440
Speaker 1: done it maybe once. It's white here and there, but

1542
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 1: for the most part, every client is different and unique,

1543
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,360
Speaker 1: and it is important that people hear that because you know,

1544
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 1: when people you know about what that's how much she's

1545
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:55,880
Speaker 1: not paying The white wall. Now this ain't this ain't

1546
01:24:55,880 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 1: an even tone wall here, It's just blue. It's happening

1547
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 1: up there. Now you wanna you wanna look that? Then

1548
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:04,760
Speaker 1: when people walk in the room, they go wold. I've

1549
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:08,720
Speaker 1: never heard anybody go wild to a white wall. Wow,

1550
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 1: that's white. Whoa, whoa? Can I get a white wall

1551
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: like this? Nobody's ever said that. But what you do,

1552
01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:19,360
Speaker 1: people do say that. And that's why it's important that

1553
01:25:19,479 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 1: people respect the craft that you have and how you

1554
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 1: try to develop it. Now, let me just go to

1555
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:28,600
Speaker 1: another level. Not at my house in Atlanta, one of

1556
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:31,680
Speaker 1: the reasons we bought it was just just every one

1557
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:35,559
Speaker 1: of the restrooms and also the main family room. It

1558
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:38,599
Speaker 1: was full painting. But it was kind of like Larry,

1559
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 1: you know, I'm saying, it's kind of like you could

1560
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 1: like heel little chips off the wall. You know what

1561
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, you know. And so so the problem

1562
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:48,599
Speaker 1: I had with that it once a while, a piece

1563
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:52,720
Speaker 1: of that will fall off, you know, until you have

1564
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 1: to put it back on the wall. We had to

1565
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:56,680
Speaker 1: find somebody like you come over and go, I can

1566
01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 1: match that back up. I can match that back up.

1567
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 1: And and that's what I'm saying, is that your skill

1568
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:06,640
Speaker 1: and and it's it's impressive because of the fact that

1569
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 1: you know that it's unique. Now when people push back

1570
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,400
Speaker 1: on you because of what you do, how do you

1571
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:16,439
Speaker 1: react to that and how do you justify anybody questioning

1572
01:26:16,520 --> 01:26:21,000
Speaker 1: what you charge? UM? I'm sorry I got a little

1573
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 1: choked up there because it happens quite often. UM. But

1574
01:26:25,960 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 1: it's funny you say that, because actually my clients are

1575
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:32,960
Speaker 1: really really good. They're great, UM. They respect what I do.

1576
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:36,240
Speaker 1: And even the new people that call me UM going

1577
01:26:36,280 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: into a consultation, they're sort of already kind of aware

1578
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: that what they're doing is a luxury and not an

1579
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 1: ins um. So a lot of times my clients are

1580
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:49,719
Speaker 1: a sticker shocks, and then I just have to explain

1581
01:26:49,760 --> 01:26:52,639
Speaker 1: to them what goes into doing a wall. I may

1582
01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 1: be on the wall for five or six days. That's

1583
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:57,479
Speaker 1: a long time, eight hours a day for six days

1584
01:26:57,560 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 1: in one place. So it's almost like creating custom art

1585
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:03,800
Speaker 1: for your home or your business. And if you have

1586
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 1: to go out and buy a piece of art, you're

1587
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 1: gonna stand four or five dollars. You know, it's if

1588
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:11,400
Speaker 1: you're doing a large key. So I try to explain

1589
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 1: to people what goes into it. And the products aren't

1590
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:16,920
Speaker 1: cheap either, um, because I can't go in the home

1591
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 1: depot and buy anything except for tape and some plastics.

1592
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 1: But everything else that I use, I have to order

1593
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:27,440
Speaker 1: specialty from a special company that supplies artists like myself, um,

1594
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:31,839
Speaker 1: with material and paint. So it's a it's the process.

1595
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 1: But once I get over that hump with the client

1596
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 1: and you know, game their trust and then okay, that's

1597
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,679
Speaker 1: very key because you're about to do something this wall

1598
01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:45,800
Speaker 1: that you know, white paint just don't cough up easy

1599
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:48,720
Speaker 1: exactly and they have to understand that. And uh and

1600
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 1: and so it's really important that the whole process is

1601
01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:55,559
Speaker 1: talk dot is shown. Do you do any stuff on

1602
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 1: the computer? Do you do any renderage on your computer? Um? No,

1603
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 1: I did not. Everything is bring everything in person. I

1604
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 1: don't show me anything online because the color differences are

1605
01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:11,000
Speaker 1: two is very too much. So I can't play around

1606
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:12,880
Speaker 1: with anything on the computer. I have to be in

1607
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:16,799
Speaker 1: the space, in the lighting, if there's daylight, natural light, whatever.

1608
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 1: That was a trick question that Toby. You know Ye're

1609
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:24,840
Speaker 1: about to dive in on you if you just said yeah, yeah,

1610
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:29,400
Speaker 1: you're good, Toby that that was a trick question. I

1611
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,880
Speaker 1: really wasn't trying to get an answer. I'll take up.

1612
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:35,080
Speaker 1: I was setting you up so I could dive in

1613
01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:39,719
Speaker 1: and blast you. But you went, I bring everything because

1614
01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:44,599
Speaker 1: lighting in the room is different light books, daylight, natural light.

1615
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:47,559
Speaker 1: Room light might be fluorescent bubbs in the room. They

1616
01:28:47,600 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 1: might have one hundred white bubbs in the room. See.

1617
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 1: I was ready to get you. You went mmmmm, I

1618

Speaker 1: you know, to my sister. Crazy. But she found like

1640
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 1: you and I love the factor, you know, fifteen years

1642
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:21,160
Speaker 1: bring to the table. So somewhere along the line before

1643
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:25,000
Speaker 1: fifteen years, what were you doing that led you to this?

1644
01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:29,519
Speaker 1: You are not gonna believe. I almost almost wants you

1645
01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:36,680
Speaker 1: to guess. Just take one guess, um, uh, receptionists. No,

1646
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:41,639
Speaker 1: I was a computer programmer. There you go. I'm gonna

1647
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:44,240
Speaker 1: tell you something. I'll tell you something. Let's listen to

1648
01:30:44,240 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 1: me on the reel. Our My degrees in mathematics minor

1649
01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 1: and sociology and computer science, and and that makes so

1650
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:55,560
Speaker 1: much sense to me that you're doing this because it

1651
01:30:56,160 --> 01:30:59,200
Speaker 1: is everything's in your head. Everybody don't know that about programming.

1652
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:02,040
Speaker 1: Everything is in your head. Then you create an outline

1653
01:31:02,360 --> 01:31:04,519
Speaker 1: to be able to program. If you don't do those steps,

1654
01:31:04,960 --> 01:31:08,280
Speaker 1: then you can't program, you know, and so and so.

1655
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:10,240
Speaker 1: For you to say that this is what you're doing,

1656
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:13,639
Speaker 1: I can't believe it because in your head, you walk

1657
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:16,080
Speaker 1: in the room and it's not like you know TV,

1658
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:18,400
Speaker 1: when you see all these little atoms and all this

1659
01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:21,360
Speaker 1: on the wall. You're not seeing that. But I know,

1660
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:23,800
Speaker 1: let mention this. Do you spend a lot of time

1661
01:31:23,840 --> 01:31:29,400
Speaker 1: in the room making a decision um before I paint, ma'am.

1662
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:31,479
Speaker 1: You know when you want the room and people show you.

1663
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:35,439
Speaker 1: It's a it's a full thought process, everything from the

1664
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:37,599
Speaker 1: beginning to end. How I'm going to prep the room off,

1665
01:31:38,120 --> 01:31:41,200
Speaker 1: how I'm going to protect my clients, floors, everything, it's

1666
01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:45,040
Speaker 1: a it's almost like it's almost like a step by

1667
01:31:45,080 --> 01:31:47,840
Speaker 1: step by step. You have to be very tedious, yes, ma'am.

1668
01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:50,639
Speaker 1: And you have to follow everything because if you miss something,

1669
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:54,960
Speaker 1: you miss something up. I mean, game over now. It's

1670
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:57,719
Speaker 1: important because my wife, you know, whenever we bought a house,

1671
01:31:57,880 --> 01:32:00,280
Speaker 1: or an apartment or condom. She would not. That's with

1672
01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:02,519
Speaker 1: the house. She's a Richard. Go do your thing because

1673
01:32:02,520 --> 01:32:04,439
Speaker 1: she knows me. I would just go in the house

1674
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:07,160
Speaker 1: and I would just sit there, empty house, you know,

1675
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:09,680
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, just sit there and and I

1676
01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:12,479
Speaker 1: would just kind of like see stuff moving around. I

1677
01:32:12,520 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 1: go because if you come to our home, any one

1678
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: of our homes, we don't have a lot of you know,

1679
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:19,559
Speaker 1: some people home they've got all kinds of stuff going

1680
01:32:19,600 --> 01:32:22,920
Speaker 1: on in their house, you know, just hanging here. You know,

1681
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:25,160
Speaker 1: you you all WoT got to slide around the house

1682
01:32:25,200 --> 01:32:27,000
Speaker 1: to get around, like you can run in my house

1683
01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 1: and won't knock nothing over, especially about my Atlanta home,

1684
01:32:30,720 --> 01:32:33,479
Speaker 1: because it's all about comfort. It's all about when you're

1685
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 1: walking in that you're not overwhelmed by the moment. And

1686
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:39,360
Speaker 1: a lot of them and I get the field. I

1687
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:41,639
Speaker 1: get the feeling that. That's why you work so well

1688
01:32:41,680 --> 01:32:45,240
Speaker 1: in television because you know, on television you can't you

1689
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:48,680
Speaker 1: make the wall be more more more dramatic than the

1690
01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:51,280
Speaker 1: actor and actress. You know, it has to fit in

1691
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 1: and blend and carry the scene and its effectiveness. That's

1692
01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:59,080
Speaker 1: what really what it's all about, correct correct, it is.

1693
01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:01,760
Speaker 1: It's it takes a lot to get through everything, and

1694
01:33:01,960 --> 01:33:03,760
Speaker 1: you just have to stay on point. I have to

1695
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:06,000
Speaker 1: always be on top of my game. And I was

1696
01:33:06,040 --> 01:33:10,160
Speaker 1: speaking ahead always. I said, that's so smooth. I always talking.

1697
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:14,240
Speaker 1: Are you talking when you get good at this interview

1698
01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:16,560
Speaker 1: and stuff. Now, let's talk about some of these publications

1699
01:33:16,600 --> 01:33:18,920
Speaker 1: that you've been need, you know, publications I want to

1700
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:20,960
Speaker 1: be in that I haven't even made it there yet.

1701
01:33:21,120 --> 01:33:23,160
Speaker 1: I've been in with Steve Harvey, but I'm trying to

1702
01:33:23,160 --> 01:33:26,280
Speaker 1: get Rashaan McDonald. She had already been in these publications

1703
01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:34,720
Speaker 1: Black Enterprise, The Atlanta Jongal Constitution, Washington Spaces Magazine, Seasons Magazine,

1704
01:33:35,200 --> 01:33:39,280
Speaker 1: Living Spaces Magazine. This is what this girl is in. Now,

1705
01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:42,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you something. All those publications I started

1706
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 1: with Black Enterprise, but the rest was Black Publication. So

1707
01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:49,840
Speaker 1: that means that your brand is for everybody. Mm hmm

1708
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:54,200
Speaker 1: it is, it is and so and so that's important, right,

1709
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:56,840
Speaker 1: That's important that you that you that you know that

1710
01:33:56,880 --> 01:33:59,720
Speaker 1: your talents are being recognized everybody everybody, because that's how

1711
01:33:59,760 --> 01:34:02,920
Speaker 1: you know your portfolio. Correct, Yes, it is. I'm always

1712
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:06,959
Speaker 1: constantly trying to reach out or reach a new audience,

1713
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:10,640
Speaker 1: reach overseas to a different country, because I love what

1714
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 1: I want to do when I want to share my

1715
01:34:12,000 --> 01:34:14,600
Speaker 1: talent and my guess with everybody, not with just you know,

1716
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:17,600
Speaker 1: my black people, which I love, but I want everybody

1717
01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:20,719
Speaker 1: to be able to, you know, enjoy this beautiful service

1718
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:24,000
Speaker 1: that I provide because it's I always tell people, look

1719
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:26,800
Speaker 1: at it, just tell people all you know, you have

1720
01:34:26,840 --> 01:34:29,559
Speaker 1: a base, and you do have your base, which is correct.

1721
01:34:29,680 --> 01:34:32,200
Speaker 1: You're not gonna run from your base. But if you

1722
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:35,080
Speaker 1: want to make money and want to have longevity, you

1723
01:34:35,160 --> 01:34:38,479
Speaker 1: have to diversify. You have to cross over because what

1724
01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:41,760
Speaker 1: happens is you can't keep going. You know, you can't

1725
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:44,080
Speaker 1: keep going to the same purpose to selling type of aware.

1726
01:34:44,479 --> 01:34:47,840
Speaker 1: If they already got typewere they that type ofwere purchase

1727
01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:49,920
Speaker 1: is gonna get less and less every time. Father, they

1728
01:34:49,960 --> 01:34:52,720
Speaker 1: ain't not even gonna answer your phone no more. And

1729
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:56,160
Speaker 1: so it's important that you diversify, and it's important that

1730
01:34:56,200 --> 01:34:58,760
Speaker 1: your brand is out there. How do you handle it

1731
01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:02,160
Speaker 1: in the digital uh framework and how do you handle

1732
01:35:02,240 --> 01:35:06,800
Speaker 1: your brand into social framework? Well, in the social framework,

1733
01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 1: I had to convert real quick um because all of

1734
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:15,519
Speaker 1: that will leave you behind social digital technology serious. So

1735
01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:18,799
Speaker 1: you have to be able to adjust and accept change.

1736
01:35:19,400 --> 01:35:22,320
Speaker 1: And for years, my business has been word of mouth,

1737
01:35:22,400 --> 01:35:25,519
Speaker 1: at least for twelve years. UM that as the time

1738
01:35:25,560 --> 01:35:28,519
Speaker 1: has changed, I had to utilize, you know, social media

1739
01:35:28,560 --> 01:35:31,639
Speaker 1: platforms like Facebook. Um. I think i had my biggest

1740
01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:35,880
Speaker 1: following on Instagram. Um, I'm on Twitter, YouTube, Interest, because

1741
01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:38,040
Speaker 1: that's what people are going to now be social media

1742
01:35:38,080 --> 01:35:41,559
Speaker 1: platforms to even find all of their services. Like, no

1743
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 1: one asked me for my website anymore. It's like no

1744
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 1: and void, even though I keep it updated. Um, but

1745
01:35:47,720 --> 01:35:49,360
Speaker 1: when people walk up to me, they're like, are you

1746
01:35:49,360 --> 01:35:52,120
Speaker 1: on Facebook? Or you know, is your work on Instagram?

1747
01:35:52,200 --> 01:35:55,200
Speaker 1: So I had to adapt to that, and I had

1748
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:59,040
Speaker 1: to build my portfolio on each plat to get all

1749
01:35:59,120 --> 01:36:02,120
Speaker 1: the different are the excuse me, all the different target

1750
01:36:02,120 --> 01:36:05,280
Speaker 1: audiences covered, you know, as far as my reach. And

1751
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm still reaching every day, you know, I'm always meeting people,

1752
01:36:09,040 --> 01:36:12,840
Speaker 1: testing our cards, meeting designers. So it's it hasn't been

1753
01:36:12,880 --> 01:36:16,760
Speaker 1: a challenge. I've been able to embrace the change. So

1754
01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:19,599
Speaker 1: that's a good thing. Now here's the fun part about

1755
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:22,360
Speaker 1: this conversation that we have and is that is that

1756
01:36:23,040 --> 01:36:25,760
Speaker 1: is that you know. I went through all your platforms.

1757
01:36:25,960 --> 01:36:29,040
Speaker 1: The one thing I did not see was a time
