<v Speaker 1>An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.480
<v Speaker 1>in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

<v Speaker 1>accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:43.000

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>never return. But if you register using our CBP home

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>border and families will be protected.

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm sure somebody in the crowd has an amazing idea

0:01:02.600 --> 0:01:05.039
<v Speaker 3>for twenty twenty four. Can you talk to us about

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:08.480
<v Speaker 3>how to overcome that fear? Be relentless as hell and

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:12.200
<v Speaker 3>going after what we want to make that a reality.

0:01:12.680 --> 0:01:16.759
<v Speaker 4>There are a few things which a couple of things

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 4>which I think is very important. The first thing I

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:23.959
<v Speaker 4>want to talk about is people of color who are

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 4>blessed with wealth and opportunity. We tend to think that

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 4>entrepreneurship and success it's a zero sum game. Meaning if

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 4>you get a billion dollars, then I cannot get a

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 4>billion dollars. So if I hear that you're doing something

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 4>great which has the potential for you getting a billion dollars,

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 4>but because I have half a billion, no no, no, no, no, no,

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 4>you can't do that. I'm going to do whatever I can,

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 4>or maybe I will not do anything to help you

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 4>which will enable you to get to that goal. So

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 4>a lot of what I've noticed is a lot of

0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 4>wealthy black people don't want other people with potential to

0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 4>do well. So I think that that is the first

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.120
<v Speaker 4>thing that we need to focus on. How to accept

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 4>the fact that we all can be successful, all of us.

0:02:12.040 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 4>There's no reason why no one here shouldn't be you know,

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.960
<v Speaker 4>it's perfectly fine that we all can be successful. And

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.040
<v Speaker 4>the second thing that I want us to go into

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty four with is that you can do it too.

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 4>You can do it too. What's the difference between you

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 4>and lurn mask? Does we have two heads? Until you

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 4>show me someone that has two heads. Don't tell me

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.239
<v Speaker 4>I can't do it. You don't know what I'm capable of. Yes,

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 4>I understand, you know. So you should believe in yourself

0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 4>because that self doubt is what is really killing us.

0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 4>So these are the two main things that I want

0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:43.800
<v Speaker 4>us to really go in twenty twenty four with. You know,

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 4>let's see how we can help each other and let's

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 4>have some faith in ourselves and believe we can do it.

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 3>As a follow up, real quick, where does that belief

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 3>in yourself come from? Because now everyone has that and

0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.680
<v Speaker 3>the most important thing that I want everyone to live

0:02:56.720 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 3>with here is that they can do it. But where

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 3>does that undying belief from yourself come from?

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.520
<v Speaker 4>I mean, as I said, I think we are all

0:03:04.639 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 4>a putut of our surroundings. You know, as I said,

0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.120
<v Speaker 4>I moved back to Ghana. I didn't have a plan.

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 4>Even it was very difficult. I used to run out

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.079
<v Speaker 4>of gas. I didn't have money to buy gas. I

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.760
<v Speaker 4>was run out of gas, But not once did I

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 4>feel like I was poor psychologically, I felt like my

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 4>money was coming. It's just a matter of time. So

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 4>I've always had that feeling.

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 5>This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 5>A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,

0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 5>and sure they definitely can be, but understanding a professionals

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.359
<v Speaker 4>it ain't gonna wake up, probably ain't gonna work out.

0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:29.000
<v Speaker 4>But if you believe it's gonna work out, failures are

0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 4>gonna come through your way. However, these failures are actually

0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:33.919
<v Speaker 4>listens to get you to where you need to get to.

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:35.719
<v Speaker 4>So that's that's why I get that.

0:06:35.720 --> 0:06:38.160
<v Speaker 2>That's why I get down from and I quick follow

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:38.680
<v Speaker 2>up to that.

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.520
<v Speaker 5>All in Gas is a competitive space, right, and so

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 5>as you're breaking new grounds, especially for the country, what

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.719
<v Speaker 5>is it like from the competition, what kind of challenges

0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 5>are you facing. I'm sure there's people are like, no,

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 5>we can't let him win.

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it was a tough one because I'm the first

0:06:57.000 --> 0:06:59.640
<v Speaker 4>of our kind to really break through. It was really

0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 4>chaling didn't so a lot of entities tried their best

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 4>to ensure that I will not be able to achieve that. Now,

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.800
<v Speaker 4>let me give an example. I was in a meeting

0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 4>with a company in Houston, oil and Gas company. So

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 4>you know, we're all doing well. We're having a chat.

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 2>So it's like, so how did you start.

0:07:17.800 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 4>I'm like, well, I took the profits that I made

0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:25.320
<v Speaker 4>in my downstream, which is the trading business, reinvested all

0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 4>my profits in the appstream because you know, when you

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 4>drill one well's about a hundred million dollars one well,

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 4>one hundred million dollars. And I didn't have no bank loan. Okay,

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 4>no bank is going to give me a loan, No

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 4>local bank because it has the ability to help, and

0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.440
<v Speaker 4>no foreign bank because I'm black. You're crazy, You're not

0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 4>going to give any money. So the guy was looking

0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 4>at me and I'm like, I don't reinvested my profits.

0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 4>He said, you did what he said. When I set

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 4>up a company, I resigned from an organization, I set

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 4>up a company, and Blackstone gave me fourhun are million dollars.

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 4>That's how I started. I didn't even have an asset.

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:54.240
<v Speaker 4>They gave me four undred million dollars and said go

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 4>figure out, you know which oil asset you can acquire.

0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 4>So he looked at me like you did what you

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:03.800
<v Speaker 4>used your own word. So it's very challenging. But out

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.120
<v Speaker 4>of all those challenges comes the blessings and comes the success.

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.160
<v Speaker 4>So if you believe in yourself, if you believe in

0:08:10.240 --> 0:08:11.960
<v Speaker 4>what you're doing and you put your own money in,

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 4>think about what the next person is going to do

0:08:14.000 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 4>or what the bank. So now I have people like

0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 4>you know running around me following me with money, you know,

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 4>just want to invest in you or want to give

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 4>you a loan or whatever it is. But I basically

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.720
<v Speaker 4>use my own profits. I have no debts, no nothing

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 4>like that. To this day, I still have no loans

0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 4>that I have no loans. I have drawn down on lines,

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.800
<v Speaker 4>but I have not drawn down on anything. So sometimes

0:08:34.800 --> 0:08:36.319
<v Speaker 4>if you believe in your stuff, you got to put

0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 4>in your own money and don't always expect because they

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 4>don't want us to win. You have to understand they

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 4>don't want you to win. You know, you got to

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 4>take it. You got to believe in that. You got

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.040
<v Speaker 4>to keep you going. You know, I'm going to give

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:49.760
<v Speaker 4>you nothing for free, right, stay away from there.
