00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: I've never subscribed to the marketing concept of anti agent.

00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: That's what she says.

22
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,280
Speaker 3: It's anti means to go against it. If you're anti agent,

23
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: you're not evolving and no longer existing.

24
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: Charlene theorem.

25
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 3: The actress had a big story about that recently, when

26
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: people was talking about she.

27
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: Was aging, she said, I'm getting old. Dealing with it.

28
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm getting old. Okay.

29
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 3: The pro agent means moving forward and embracing their journey. Please,

30
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: welcome to the Money Making Conversations Master Class. Jermaine Bow's Letharige.

31
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 4: How you doing, I'm wonderful. How are you?

32
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: Yeah?

33
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: It was perfect timing because I was you know, you know,

34
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 3: I always served the internet and I came across this

35
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 3: article with Charlene and one of my favorite actresses out there.

36
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 3: You know, she has a serious movie on Netflix I

37
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: watched over and over called Old Guard because she's very

38
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: physical and she can do she's a former model and

39
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 3: she was and people make people accusing her of plastic

40
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 3: surgery and all these things. She would say, Hey, deal

41
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: with it. I gotta get old sometimes, okay, sometimes along

42
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: the way some people try to try to stop that

43
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: through plastic surgery. But in this and I don't. I've

44
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: never had plessor. I'm not against anybody who does have

45
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: PLESSU surgeon, but you against the pro talk of anti aging, correct, I.

46
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 4: Totally am, because that's an unachievable objective. If you know,

47
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 4: really every day that God allows you to wake up,

48
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 4: you're getting older. And so when you have that kind

49
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 4: of mindset, that's when depression sets in, right, that's when

50
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: you start living because you can't achieve that objective. It's

51
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 4: not sustainable. You know, however you choose to. You know,

52
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 4: if you want to do both talks, if you want

53
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: to do those things, that's fine, but still know you're

54
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 4: still aging. And you know we got a change it

55
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 4: with Sean. It's a privilege to get older, and I'm great.

56
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: I'm great opportism, Jamaine. It's hard though. Society.

57
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: It's a society pushing that the youth in front of

58
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,079
Speaker 3: you because they know that's how they make money if

59
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: they if they can come vish you that you can

60
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: look younger by wearing you know what is the little

61
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: skim type clothes and keep your quote unquote in shape

62
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 3: or or or plastic surgery or or or that little

63
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: And I'm telling you, I'm always tempted. I'm tell you something,

64
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 3: and I'm not a vain person at all, but boy,

65
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 3: I'll be looking at them them them late night commercial

66
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 3: when they talked about tipening up them wrinkles under your eyes,

67
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 3: I'll be so tempted.

68
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: I'd be so.

69
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 4: And it's fine, but you still have to be really realistic, right,

70
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: you're still and what happens is and that's why I

71
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 4: am really leading this band with people understanding that the

72
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: wind happens in the fourth quarter and you can do

73
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 4: well up until your forty, but it's how you accept

74
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 4: this aging process will determine how you leave out of

75
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 4: here and its society t advertisers. Everybody wants that twenty

76
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: five to fifty four and the hecky with everybody else,

77
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 4: But if they really look at you know, I just

78
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 4: came back from Martha's Vineyard and the demographics there is

79
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 4: the more mature forty in up right, and we're spending

80
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 4: a lot of money. We want what we want, We're

81
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 4: drinking the finest of wines, and we will spend money

82
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 4: for the things we desire. They are missing a boatload

83
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 4: of money because I'm not spending my money with anybody

84
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 4: that's going to advertise a young girl with her short

85
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 4: dress on. I'm not gonna look at your site. So

86
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 4: you're missing that, you know, they got to understand this

87
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 4: Auntie for lot.

88
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: So you're saying, so you're saying that advertisers because my

89
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: guests owned several weeks ago, and I was saying, Wow,

90
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: it's just so many people over sixty five walking around.

91
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: Then I realized, I'm one of those people. Okay, walk

92
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: just walk around. It's so many of us that you know,

93
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 3: you know, I would I would just tell you this, Jermaine,

94
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 3: my mind said, because you know, I don't even think

95
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 3: about age. And so sometimes I've been talking about the

96
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 3: old people. If you're talking about you, Jell, but you

97
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 3: need to look in the mirror. You one of those

98
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: old people you're talking about because of the fact that Jamaine,

99
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,919
Speaker 3: sometimes it is a mindset. And so so when I

100
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 3: was when I when the opportunity to come on my

101
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 3: show was presented, and you was talking about the anti

102
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 3: agent talk, real age and all that. It is really

103
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: what people have to think. If you get caught up

104
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 3: in a number, and that's where people go wrong, get

105
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,479
Speaker 3: caught up in a number, that's when you start to lose.

106
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 4: Am I right, you absolutely are. And I'm a Delta

107
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 4: and we have this thing called Delta Deers and it

108
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 4: starts to sitting and when we had in face meeting,

109
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 4: they were like, well, the Delta deers go up front,

110
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, the Delta deers get upfront.

111
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: You do know, Jermain, you are a Delta deer. But

112
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 4: also because you said but they're in the process of

113
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: changing changing that number because you don't reflect a Delta deer.

114
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 4: And so and I always say, I'm going to be

115
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 4: the oldest youngest person in every world, right.

116
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: Right, right, right right, Well, you know, you know the

117
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: thing about it is that I'm talking to my girl.

118
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: You know, see I had AKA early. Now I got

119
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 3: Delta that so I'm not trying. I didn't book it

120
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 3: like that. I just found out that you know, this

121
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 3: is a you know, Sarargi fraternity show.

122
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

123
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 3: But Jermaine, you know, I know skincare treatment. Your late

124
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: mom inspired this. Tell us about what is I know skincare?

125
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 4: Okay, Well, you know, ra Sean, I've been in the

126
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 4: beauty space for over thirty years, right, helping build a

127
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 4: lot of brands and working with them, Mayel being one,

128
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 4: to Leo Wajid, Kenyon, Kenya more hair kids, and it's

129
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:05,679
Speaker 4: always been my privilege and honor to help other people

130
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 4: realize their dreams and to create legacy wealth for their family,

131
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 4: and in turn, I make my money, you know. I mean,

132
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 4: I'm not doing it for free, but money is not

133
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 4: what I look at first when you operate in excellence

134
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 4: and you really want to see other people when your

135
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 4: money comes. And so I've always wanted to do something

136
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 4: for myself, but I always felt it was a conflict

137
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 4: of interest. How do you push yourself and push others

138
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 4: at the same time. And so I was going through this.

139
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 4: I did some focus groups when I was in my

140
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 4: late forties, trying to get some of my brands to

141
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 4: really look at the importance of this of the baby boomer,

142
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 4: and really no one was really interested in it that much.

143
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: A little bit Gary Gardner with as and.

144
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: Marketing space space for for.

145
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 4: A long time because I was getting older. And what

146
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: happened my stylust when, like I said, I was forty nine,

147
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 4: my stylus was spraying something on my hair and I said,

148
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 4: what is that? She said, Paul Mitchell came up with

149
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 4: this product called Younger Looking Hair. I said, really, she

150
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: said yeah. They said that the women were complaining that

151
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 4: the product no longer worked. But what they discovered is

152
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 4: it wasn't that the product didn't work, that the consumer

153
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:38,359
Speaker 4: is changing and you know, DHT is hitting the follicle

154
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: and thinning the hair out. So they had to now

155
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 4: address this growing customer consumer base, her now her new needs.

156
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 4: And so that really sparked my interest. And so in

157
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 4: just looking, you know, my my prayer every morning is

158
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 4: God give me new visions so that I can always

159
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 4: see the opportunity. And so when my mom was transitioning,

160
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 4: everybody talked that walked into that hospital room. They talked

161
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 4: about how beautiful a skin was. She always told if

162
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 4: you take care of your skin now, to take care

163
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 4: of you later. And so I was in there, I

164
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: was like, and it just when you're seeing someone that

165
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 4: you love, you know, leave this earth. It's like, if

166
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 4: I don't do something for myself now, when will I.

167
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 4: I had purchased Amby, and but I didn't start that.

168
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I.

169
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 4: Had already, it was already created, it already had the distribution.

170
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 4: I wanted to start something from its infancy stage, from

171
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 4: the concept and how if I helped other people do it,

172
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 4: could I do it for myself? So when my mom passed.

173
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 4: It was like, oh my god, what I know is

174
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 4: and the name came up for Sean. I'm like, you know,

175
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 4: when you get a certain age, you know what you know?

176
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 4: You know. It's like I know who I don't want

177
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 4: in my space, I know what I shouldn't eat because

178
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,119
Speaker 4: I'm a gain that ten pounds. If your whole foundation

179
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: is based on your I knows right. And so that's

180
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 4: how the name came up.

181
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 1: And funny in the way because that's how we know.

182
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 3: You know, you know, you know, you know, you know right,

183
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 3: And in this situation, I know, I know, I.

184
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 4: Know if that's affirming, that's affirming, I know that, and

185
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: it puts you in a mindset like I am I

186
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 4: know that I'm gonna get non figures from this brand

187
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 4: because it's an market. I know that I'm going to

188
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 4: keep myself healthy that so that you will never be

189
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 4: able to guess my age, you know. So it's a

190
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: lot of things that you know. And we have the

191
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 4: dragon fly because in my my lowest point of grief,

192
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 4: the dragonfly just hovered over the hood of my car

193
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 4: and I looked it up and it was saying that

194
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 4: this the dragonfly is born in the water and then

195
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 4: it gets takes flight and becomes the creature of the air.

196
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 4: And if you look at the dragonfly, it's pivoting constantly.

197
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: Get you know, the interesting when you say that.

198
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: The interesting thing when you say that is that you

199
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 3: know it's when you say hovering over, you know, looking

200
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: over a transformation with your butter cocoon to a butterfly.

201
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: It's always a transformation. That's what your product is about.

202
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 3: But you know the thing about it and that we're

203
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 3: gonna we're gonna go to break because I don't want

204
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 3: to get too extended on this thought process. But it

205
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 3: comes back to accepting you. You know, I know this

206
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 3: is who I am because I'm telling you and anybody

00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,680

208
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 3: you get beat up, you get told what you can't do.

Speaker 8: Everything should not be taken personally. So I absolutely agree

242
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 8: with you. And if we don't have that understanding, and

243
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 8: if we're always taking things personally, we'll always be responding

244
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 8: to any and everything to where it'll take so much

245
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 8: energy it'll shift our focus off of what we really

246
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 8: should be focused on. And so I have had to

247
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,319

00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 3: You know I'm talking to Jermaine. She is a product

Speaker 3: And you know, Jermaine, you got me so fired up

260
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 3: by this anti agent. I'm about to turn around and

261
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: go said loud, you're blacking you're proud and I don't

262
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: want to like shift while you came to the show.

263
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: One of the show was.

264
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: To introduce your product to my listening brasis because of

265
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: the fact that we're so caught up in what is

266
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: being offer to us, and it's usually you know, to

267
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: the younger generation, and they kind of push us to

268
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 3: the back because they don't think of anybody over fifty

269
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: five has buying power as buying powered. All right, and

270
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 3: we but then you turn around and you see the

271
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 3: number of billions of dollars that we're spending. But then

272
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 3: so we're not getting respect, we're not showcased about what

273
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 3: we should consistently be valued as shoppers and consumers. And

274
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 3: so you came up with this product. I know that

275
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: it's geared towards my age group audience, male and females.

276
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 4: Correct, yes, primarily females. But as what has happened is

277
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 4: men can use it absolutely. But when you have limited

278
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 4: marketing dollar, you can't speak to everyone.

279
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 3: Say that again, stuff right there, A lot of people

280
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:54,359
Speaker 3: need to hear that. Okay, if you can't sell everything

281
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 3: to everybody, even though you got a lot of ideas,

282
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 3: a lot of small businesses make that mistake, pick your poison,

283
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 3: pick your product.

284
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, And for me because my mom is black,

285
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 4: my mom was black, I'm a black woman and that's

286
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 4: surround me. But anybody can use it. A third of

287
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 4: my customers are Caucasian women, and I've had to have

288
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 4: conversations with them. I'm not anti anyone, it's because that

289
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 4: means again to go against I am pro black women.

290
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 4: And the reasoning is that no one has ever really

291
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 4: been intentional about serving us and been in the beauty

292
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 4: space forever. If you look at commercials, they will splatter

293
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 4: a black woman in but it's very obvious who their

294
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 4: target market is. And I'm okay with that because my

295
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 4: Caucasian sisters, they spend a lot of money on skincare.

296
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,240
Speaker 4: Our numbers are about five hundred millions. That's in some

297
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 4: people's mind that's a lot, but it's really not. Uh

298
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 4: and so, but black women now are starting more to

299
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 4: take care of themselves. They see the importance of not

300
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 4: being selfish but putting themselves first, and so I wanted

301
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 4: to be very intentional about who I was talking to.

302
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 4: My clinical study was done on black women everything and

303
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 4: people A lot of people don't know this. Our our

304
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 4: Caucasian sisters. They wrinkle, but we sag so a lot

305
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 4: of the ingredients that have been put into the product.

306
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 4: It's all about plumping us up, making sure that our

307
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 4: skin is vibrant, to have that glow and to love

308
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 4: with things.

309
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 3: I want to make sure you said we we sag?

310
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 3: What what do you mean we say sad?

311
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 4: The skin starts drooping down, you know, and and often

312
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 4: so now. And we should start this very early. My

313
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 4: mother tried to tell me this when I was in

314
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 4: my twenties. Never pull your skin down when you're putting

315
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 4: on lotion or moisturizer on your face. You always should

316
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 4: stroke up. Everything should go up because gravity, gravity is

317
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 4: taking place. And but it's okay. All of those things,

318
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 4: the wrinkles, the cell you like, all those things. I

319
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 4: work hard at trying to keep them at bay. But

320
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,360
Speaker 4: you know, it depends on what you eat, how you exercise.

321
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 4: You got to do more things as we get older,

322
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 4: and it makes us feel better. Keep clarity, you know.

323
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 4: I you know, Rashan, most of the things that I've

324
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 4: accomplished in my life, I've done them over fifty and

325
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 4: so and I had to look at that. And so

326
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 4: the latter days are my greater days, you know, and

327
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 4: right now my goal is in creating this brand to

328
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 4: one day if my children want to sell it, that

329
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: I create generational wealth and that you know, and that

330
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 4: they remember my name, grandkids, grandkids, that they remember how

331
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 4: this all started.

332
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: Cool. I want to I know the running out of

333
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: the time on your interview, but I wanted to. It

334
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 1: was a couple of things. I want to make sure

335
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: the audience.

336
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 3: First of all, that was very motivational and very encouraging,

337
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: because you know, you have to know who you're talking to.

338
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 3: I remember a long time ago. You know, sometimes people say,

339
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: you know, you shouldn't narrow your audience, you know, and

340
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 3: you know, Steve Harwy's made a lot of money, you know,

341
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 3: being a guy who with black people. Black people, yeah,

342
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 3: because the family few, but his base was black. Okay,

343
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 3: Stephen A. Smith on first take. Half his audience on

344
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 3: first take is black, because you got to have a base.

345
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 4: You know.

346
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: Or the President Obama, he won the election because of

347
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 3: a black base. You know, he fouled an audience, supported

348
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 3: that audience, and an audience elected him to two terms

349
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 3: as president. And so what you're saying is, okay, identify

350
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 3: your customer. It's all right if they're blacks, it's okay.

351
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: You're not saying, hey, you can't buy my product, but

352
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 3: you better, you know how that much money focus on

353
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 3: who will buy your product and make sure they become

354
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 3: aware of the product. I remember, I remember, like I said,

355
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 3: you do comedy concerts, and you know I did Death

356
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 3: Comedy Jam and Deaf Johny Comedy Dam came out there,

357
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 3: and you know, you know, boom, black black comedy shows

358
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 3: were the rage. You know, it was an audience out

359
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,479
Speaker 3: there that knew nothing about boy they could be entertained.

360
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 3: But suddenly three thousand seats, ten thousand seed, fifty thousand

361
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 3: seats were being sold by the Kings of Comedy, which

362
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: started Bernie mag And Dale Huglan cedric entertainer Steve Harvey.

363
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: So there's an.

364
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 3: Audience out there and you have to go find it,

365
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 3: you have to market to it. And that's what she's

366
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 3: saying with I know, she's identified her audience and you

367
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: cannot say, oh, I don't know, I don't want nobody

368
00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 3: talk bad about me. Okay, okay, now, okay, there is

369
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 3: rock and roll, and there's R and B, and there's jazz. Yeah,

370
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 3: their market out there for everybody, even in music. You

371
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 3: can continue right quick.

372
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 4: You know, we have to understand. I have a tagline.

373
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 4: I do a trade show and it's for black women

374
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 4: in DC, one of the largest beauty trade shows, Beauty,

375
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 4: Wellness and Health in DC. And I developed the tagline

376
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 4: the power of us if we only knew and really

377
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 4: develop that and build it and stop thinking to be

378
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 4: the only one and just understand our power, our buying power.

379
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 4: Look what Rosa Park did when they would not let

380
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 4: her get that is such a great case study and

381
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 4: for us to never forget that when they start walking,

382
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:57,479
Speaker 4: we gave each other rides. It's economics. It's all about

383
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 4: the dollar. And I really it's all about recreating black

384
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 4: wall streets. And it's not anti anyone, you know. I

385
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 4: think about the Jewish when they wouldn't What are their

386
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 4: schools in their hospitals? What did they do? They built

387
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 4: their own right, And so we have to take a

388
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 4: look at that and mimic some of those success behavior.

389
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 4: And so for me, this is not just about me,

390
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 4: well it is.

391
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 3: It has to start with you. And it started being

392
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 3: inspired by your late mother on the reil. Yes, you know,

393
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,400

401
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 3: of the more interesting conversations I've had because we're talking

402
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 3: about a skincare product that it really is more than

403
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 3: just about skin. It's about it's about age, it's about discrimination,

404
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 3: it's about uh, it's about racial quality, it's about racial love,

405
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 3: it's about being that identifying your market.
