40
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,919

Speaker 1: the land of my family was trapped here in Houston,

42
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,639

Speaker 1: everybody what the herbs is. Let's get that out the

229
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: way first. Okay, Well, first of all, the Earb's is

230
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 1: an all natural herbal company. We have over four hundred

231
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: products and that word natural really means something to us. Uh.

232
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: Our products are one hun plant base and that's hard

233
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: to find these days because everybody's trying to make a

234
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: buck and put out a cheap product. And we went

235
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: the other way. We said we're gonna put out a

236
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: quality product one percent of the time. And so with

237
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: that being said, I remember we met way back in

238
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: the day on the l A Radio said with Steve

239
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: harv and I were doing local radio in l A. Right,

240
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: and you remember you came to the station. One of

241
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: the advertising you did advertise on the local filling and

242
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 1: That's why I said earlier the beauty of watching a

243
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: relationship is that I saw you advertise, you know with

244
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: a modest budget. You know, because we have a start up,

245
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a modest budget. But you saw the

246
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: the need to expand your the word about your brand.

247
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: And then and then to see you then you came

248
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: on board. You contact Rashwan, this team, we can work

249
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: a relationship on the national platform on the Steve Harvey

250
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: Morning Show exactly which made it national, which made it national.

251
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: And then then then I was in this past year

252
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: in seen he's Rashan, I want to come on the

253
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 1: talk show and then and please tell everybody each step

254
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: how to affect it your business and what was the

255
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: rationality for each room. I'm talking about locally when you

256
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,479
Speaker 1: was in l A. Then went to the national platform,

257
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: and then we went to the TV right, so resign

258
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: when we started off on radio, my brother has the

259
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: advertising uh business marketing degree. Um, we created this whole

260
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: platform that we weren't gonna do typical stuff that herbal

261
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: companies typically do, Like we weren't gonna try to be

262
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: inside the stores. We were going to create that people

263
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: to come back to us opposed to going to stores

264
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 1: and and doing all this stuff. So we just decided

265
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 1: to promote our own personal our own personal website. So

266
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: we started off locally, um, like you said, with a

267
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: modest budget. Um, we we've seen something there. We're just like, Okay,

268
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 1: if we do this on a bigger scale, like a

269
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: national scale, you might be able to see bigger, bigger

270
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: revenues as far as that coming in, bigger dollars coming in.

271
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: And it did just that. I mean the first of all,

272
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: when we first did the Steve Harvey National radio show,

273
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: let me tell you that you're talking about a business

274
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: that was probably making about m maybe about sixties a month,

275
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: you know when when we went national. And I don't

276
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: mind a numbers because I just think people really need

277
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: to hear real numbers and how certain things actually really drastically,

278
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: drastically affected our business when we did, when we went

279
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: to the Steve Harvey national platform, we went from making

280
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: sixty thousand a month to five dollars a day. Wow,

281
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: that's the difference. And that's the difference now now listen,

282
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: But there was some along the way. You do question

283
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: that move, don't you? What what makes you go to

284
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: the next step. That's why I want people to hear

285
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: because I don't want to. That's why I gave two

286
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: breaks to you a D because I want your story, man,

287
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: and you're not you know. You know, let's put this way.

288
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm having you back because you're an inspiration, because you're

289
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: that guy that i've seen build this brand out. You're

290
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: that guy that I have people who said, I got

291
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: an idea? What do I do with the idea? And

292
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: there's so many key steps. Well, first of all, you

293
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: can't build these kinds of brands unless you develop relationships

294
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 1: with people like yourself. Because now only have you not

295
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: only have you been a really super good friend and

296
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 1: just gave me great business advice, you know what I mean?

297
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,719
Speaker 1: Like like that, it's important to be able to have

298
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: mentors like yourself, like a Steve Harvey and go back

299
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: and talk to them. But let me tell you about

300
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: some of our struggles that we did. They remember. I

301
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: remember we were trying we were doing radio with Kathy

302
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: Hughes and we were trying to really develop our platform.

303
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: And it was the first radio show that we were

304
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: kind of thinking about doing. Um My brother came to me,

305
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: he was like, it's gonna cost us twelve thousand dollars,

306
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 1: and I told him, absolutely not, we are not doing it.

307
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: I like, twelve th dollars. What they're gonna do like

308
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: it is, that's never gonna work. So then so then

309
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: he then he came back to me, He's like, Okay,

310
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 1: they said they'll do it for eleven. I was like, man,

311
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm not doing this for eleven thousand dollars. And then

312
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: he came back to me. I was like, he's like,

313
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: they're doing for ten five five And next scene, you know,

314
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: I'd like, look if they get below ten thousand, I

315
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: give him a shot. Now, this is our very first

316
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: platform that we ever decided to be on. Very first,

317
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: very first like national platform prior to the Steve Harvey

318
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: National radio show, beside after local, so after we decided

319
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: to do local. So like I said, we're making like

320
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: about sixty thousand at the time a month, not just

321
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: doing local ads, you know, doing paper click ad words

322
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: and things like that. So, um, we did the national

323
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: platform with the Cathy Hughes radio station, and let me

324
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,399
Speaker 1: tell you, we got a chance to see what it

325
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: would be like on the Steve Harvey which was a

326
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: much much a hundred times bigger than what we did

327
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: it on. We doubled our business overnight. We went from

328
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: sixty thousand a month to a hundred and twenty thousand

329
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: a month overnight that platform. My brother finally came to me,

330
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,239
Speaker 1: He's like, they're doing for nine five. I said, forget it.

331
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: I said, let's go for it. We'll give it a shot.

332
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: And that's when gave me the impression like, Okay, you

333
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: know what, if we can get to a Steve Harvey

334
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 1: or just a bigger platform, we can really really do

335
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: something what you know with this business. And that's exactly

336
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: what we did. That's when after that, after we did that,

337
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: I think we did another plat platform with Jathie Hughes

338
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 1: on her and then after that we went straight to

339
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 1: the Steve Harvey Show and begin going to work. Now,

340
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,359
Speaker 1: he's the funny part. I would just gonna let you

341
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: know he he threw out the word mentor. But this

342
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: is a skilled negotiator because C. A. D Is leaving

343
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: out the part that you know, when he spends his money,

344
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: he likes to know how it's being used because whether

345
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: it's being used through a contest or it's gonna be

346
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: posted in social media or it's gonna be posted in

347
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: the news letter, or it's gonna be posted on the

348
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: whar website, or who's actually reading the live read And

349
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 1: that's not the people need to hear that just you

350
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: just don't go to a radio station or the TV.

351
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: It's It's definitely a plan involved a lot more detail. Um,

352
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: but yeah, we do. We want to know exactly what's

353
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: going on, who's gonna read it, how it's gonna be used,

354
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: who's gonna say it, because we don't do we only

355
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 1: do live reads. We only do live reads. And we

356
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: put in another wrinkle in there that I would tell

357
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 1: most businesses if if the radio stations that go for it.

358
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: What we did was we asked them, say, look, we're

359
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: gonna advertise, we're gonna commit to you guys for the

360
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: whole entire year. Can you guys give us an interview

361
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: on the radio? There you go. Now that was really, really,

362
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: really key for us because a lot of people don't

363
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: know this. Those two radio interviews that we asked for

364
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 1: throughout them up, which is complementary for the radio stations

365
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: if you can get them to go for it. Um,

366
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't really it's not really part of the ad

367
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: by if you can get them to go for those

368
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 1: two days on that radio station, would literally pay for

369
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: your whole entire campaign. And that was that was one

370
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,959
Speaker 1: of the big moves that we made. People didn't know

371
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: what the numbers that we were really doing on those

372
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: interviews and how it really affected our business. And it

373
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: changed our business because we would run them in the

374
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 1: beginning of the ad. So we're running day one, let's

375
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: say September one week, We'll do an interview. Now after

376
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: September one, all the listeners who heard that interview, um,

377
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: they they will hear live reads from Shirley Strawberry or

378
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey throughout the weeks. Every every time they uh,

379
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: they would reach back into their memory remember that interview,

380
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: and here that ad. We were getting more and more

381
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: people to purchase our clans. And then after or we

382
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: know this, we was like, Okay, after about two weeks,

383
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: it's the dwindle. So now we're gonna do another interview interview.

384
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 1: We're gonna do our second interview, and we're gonna run that.

385
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: Now we're getting more people, and then after that run

386
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: the rest of the ads throughout the following month. And

387
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 1: that was our formula and It worked on every single

388
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 1: radio station that we took. We took that platform, that

389
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: ad platform, and that format and took it to all

390
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: those different radio stations and it worked every single time.

391
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: Now here's the key to it. Everything that you're saying

392
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: your product. You gotta have the product and you've got

393
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 1: to be able to deliver the product. Tell everybody about

394
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: why what's the benefits of cleansing with your product? Okay,

395
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: so first of all, any any business, you gotta have

396
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: a great product. You can't just have crap out there.

397
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: So I always say make sure you have a good product.

398
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: And the DearS for Nobody cleanses probably the best cleans

399
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: out there on the market. The last team years, we've

400
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 1: been the number one selling cleans online. Um Our Cleanses

401
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: about cleaning out all your major limited channels. That should

402
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: God bl out of your heart, your liver, your your spleen,

403
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: your lungs, of kidneys, your drenal glands, you're blooding your

404
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: skin is gonna flush out all the impurity along with

405
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: that process. We always tell people you can't eat the

406
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: same food that gave you the notion to cleans during

407
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: your clans so therefore you gotta you gotta change those

408
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: eating habits. So we asked people to eat a raw

409
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: food diet, which means you only can eat fresh fruits, vegetables,

410
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: raw nuts, and raw seeds throughout that process. And you

411
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: do that for those twenty days, it will one dent

412
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: change your life. And that's what we did. We started

413
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: changing lives all over the planet because that that because

414
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: I remember, that's how your campaign shifted. Remember when we

415
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: was talking about it, how it really does change people's lives.

416
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: They're out a little health and wellness, and that's really

417
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: really important in your branding process. Correct, absolutely, But what

418
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: we also know is when you have a great product

419
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: and people have that great experience, they tell ten the

420
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: twenty other people. And so just word of mouth alone

421
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: really really helped us. But being on that radio station,

422
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: it was like a megaphone lasting out this information and

423
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: it really got people interested in cleansing and and it's

424
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: totally totally wanted to present change our business. Wow. And

425
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 1: and when you when you talk about this, we want

426
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: to talk about the how television don't say that because

427
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: I'm saying something. I see that commercial with UH with

428
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: Roland Martin on social media and it just continues to

429
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: give you love in the d earth world. Correct, let's

430
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,399

456
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: and then when you got to us, you developed a

457
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,160

458
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,160

00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 1: why it's so cool to his talk about doing television

461
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: and we were sharing ideas because the great thing about

462
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: I like what he said earlier. He gave you guys facts.

463
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 1: And when whenever A D talks to me, he know

464
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: I I tell him the truth because I don't like

465
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: giving people misleading information, like telling them I pay this

466
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 1: rate and in the rates, really I really paid seven thousands.

467
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: I tell people I paid three thousands because it messes

468
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,639
Speaker 1: him up. Because you needed I want them to know

469
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 1: real numbers. I want them to know how doing things

470
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: right can really drastically affect your business. People need to

471
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: hear real numbers, really events, real occurrences, how it really happened,

472
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 1: and that's really important and and that's and that's so.

473
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: So when we were sitting down talking about, you know,

474
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: ways to expand, just I gotta set number here, how

475
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: can I get the most and we started throwing out ideas.

476
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: I said, do this, do this whole lot for this.

477
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: So tell us about the experience of going on to

478
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey national were talked about the show this in

479
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: native percent of the country. Okay, name in the opposent

480
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: of the country, a well known mega talent, a global brand,

481
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: and Steve Harvey and then you sitting on TV with

482
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: him talk about that. Okay, So prior to that, prior,

483
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: I just wanted to make sure they get the whole thing.

484
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: Prior to that. What happened was when we started doing

485
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: when we started sponsoring the Neighborhood Award, it was something

486
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: and that happened at that moment, they instead of putting

487
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: me amongst the other vendors, they put me on celebrity

488
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: role then and my company and my company said, why

489
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: why y'all putting us on a celebrity role? They said,

490
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: because people because of the interviews they think he's a

491
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 1: part of the show, which was something that just happened organically.

492
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 1: I became a part of the show. So then that's

493
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: when I started thinking. I said, okay, and me and

494
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: you had that conversation about TV. I said, okay. They

495
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: had called me and they said, we got an opportunity

496
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: for you to be on TV. I'll take I said,

497
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: I said, I'll take it. They said, we need for

498
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: you to do this and that I don't know should

499
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,880
Speaker 1: I give? No, no, no, don't give. They need to

500
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: learn some stuff on their own. That's gonna be in

501
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: your book. That's gonna be your book. That's okay, you know,

502
00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: I know, you know. So they asked me. They they

503
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: said they had an opportunity for me to be on TV,

504
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: and I told him I'll take it. So I did.

505
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: So I did the TV show and let me tell you,

506
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: TVs wait, I didn't think TV could beat radio, but

507
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna tell you the difference. Okay, radio at

508
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: the time that you were started, and and we was

509
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: in eight markets that's basically in the southeast part of

510
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: the country where the Steve Harvey Morning Show has its

511
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: dominant president from New York all the way through Dallas, Atlanta,

512
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: all the way down to Tampa, all that Memphis, Chicago, Detroit.

513
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: So know that that's the part of the country that

514
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: you were talking to on radio now TV. I just

515
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,719
Speaker 1: said earlier, you're now in ninety five percent of the country,

516
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 1: which means you're in Seattle to Miami, you know, from

517
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: Varmont to San Diego as well as middle of America.

518
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: That's what you sat down on TV and that's the

519
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: experience to tell everybody what happened. Well, okay, so we

520
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: did the National Uh, we did the Steve Harvey Show.

521
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 1: We went on there. We talked about a preacher that

522
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: we had helped lose a hundred and fifty pounds in

523
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: four to five months. Amazing story. He was trying to

524
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: lose weight so he could be a candidate for his

525
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: what to give his wife a kidney. He wanted to

526
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: have the opportunity at least be part of the conversation

527
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: to actually be a person that could save her life.

528
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: So it was just something huge. We got involved. We

529
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: helped he went from um three hundred and fifty three

530
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty something pounds to like two hundreds something pounds.

531
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,960
Speaker 1: I can't remember the exact numbers, and sometime ago, so

532
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: two hundred and something town, and he actually became a candidate.

533
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: He was actually one of the people he could get

534
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: his kidney's tested, so he can actually do that for

535
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: his wife. But when we did the show, now, I

536
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: don't mind giving out these numbers, and um, so when

537
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: we did the show, what happened was and I just

538
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: like I said, we were literally making twenty dollars a

539
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: day already. So when we did to Steve Harvey National

540
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: NBC TV Show, we went from that to making over

541
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: a hundred something thousand dollars a day, just like that overnight.

542
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: And it was like the first day we did over

543
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty easy. The next day we did

544
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: an over a hundred thousands. The next day we did

545
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: seventy thousand. So we could really really see the effects.

546
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: And this is the beauty of it. So once I

547
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: seen that, and I had already had that radio experience,

548
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: and I said, guess what they felt like I was

549
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: a part of the show. Oh, they ain't seen nothing yet.

550
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 1: I told them, I'll take every TV opportunity that you got.

551
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 1: I want them all, Give them all to me, give

552
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: them all to me and just tell me what you

553
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: guys need for me to do, I'll do it. So

554
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: and and that to what happened. So then and now

555
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: check this out. So now, since we're coming on the

556
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey TV Show, you know everyone at least once

557
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: a month. I think last year I did over ten episode,

558
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: so I don't sabook, but the everything, everything drastically changed

559
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,719
Speaker 1: because of that shift, because I said I've seen something,

560
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: and I had already had that prior experience in radio,

561
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:30,479
Speaker 1: and so I had already attacked TV. I said, all right,

562
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: give them all to me. So and so now we start.

563
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: Then I hired a publicists, so now we became the

564
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: health coach for the Steve Harvey TV Show. And then

565
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: we flipped it. And now we went to all the

566
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 1: other stations. All the other stations started letting us come

567
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: on and talk about health and let us talk about clancy.

568
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 1: And now it was crazy. So now I went from

569
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 1: being in the office every day and doing radios at

570
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: five in the morning to now being by coastal, flying

571
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 1: over the all over the country, doing doing TV everywhere.

572
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: So it's funny how just a few little moves and

573
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: and daring to be different can really, really drastically change

574
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: your business. But you know, the great thing about you

575
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: that I like about j D. First of all, you're

576
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 1: You're a handsome guy. You articulate. All these things are good.

577
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: All these things are are pointing in the direction of

578
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: why you can make these transitions. Everybody can't just jump

579
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 1: in front of a TV camp. It's gonna be real. Now.

580
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,640
Speaker 1: God has blessed you with an opportunity and you're taking

581
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: advantage of it. You know. And every time I've talked

582
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: to you, you know, you've always been neatly dressed. You

583
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: always had a style about you. And I say this

584
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: to people because a lot of people don't understand that.

585
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: People see all these things and then they teach things

586
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: to you based on what they expect from you. You know,

587
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: I always expected one from you, a certain culture, a

588
00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: certain style, and that's why I had to have you

589
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: on the show over for two breaks. And here's the

590
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 1: funny part when we can't, and I'm gonna bring you

591

Speaker 1: so much, thank you for coming, and thank you for

658
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: mentioning that the African American Museum of History and Culture

659
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: is the first museum that is telling our story sitting

660
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 1: on the National Mall, and it tells the story from

661
00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: Africa through slavery all the way to now. And it's

662
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 1: definite amazing museum. So if you haven't been, you definitely

663
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: want to go. As an ambassador, I get to travel,

664
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 1: we get to host events, and I get to tell

665
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: you about the amazing things that's happening there and to

666
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 1: bring aboard more ambassadors who want to contribute money to

667
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: continue the legacy. Okay, now why's it important that? Why

668
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: is it an important day we contribute money? Because you know,

669
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: it's a museum. Shouldn't the governmenty be paying for that?

670
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,760
Speaker 1: They built it? Absolutely? Absolutely so. The African American Museum

671
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: of Historian Culture is a part of Smithsonian Museum. So

672
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: what that means is is free to enter and only

673
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 1: have of this funding comes from the government absolutely, and

674
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: the other fifty percent to keep it running and keep

675
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 1: the doors open every single day, Um, that comes from

676
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 1: private donors. And one of my biggest beleas is is

677
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 1: that we should be about us that represents us. Pay

678
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 1: into so many other different things. Why not pay for

679
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: something that's gonna represent us and tell the story that's

680
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 1: never told in schools and never get that history. So

681
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: that's the reason why I'm a part of it, because

682
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 1: our legacy has to be told, it has to be continued,

683
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: and our kids really need to know our true history.

684
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:54,680
Speaker 1: You are a life empowerment coach. Correct, that's it. Why

685
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 1: why One of the things is I always tell people

686
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: is to be great, right, and in order to be great,

687
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: you have to go for what truly is your calling.

688
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: And my calling has always been to inspire people to

689
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: live their best life, to get the life that they

690
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: truly deserve. And uh, that's how I do. I do

691
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: that through life coach, and I do that through programs.

692
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: I do that through speaking. UM, I do that by

693
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 1: being on your show today and just telling people that

694
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to settle for the status quot you

695
00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: can break all the rules and literally go for the dream.

696
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: They got his place inside of you. Okay, cool, since

697
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,879
Speaker 1: we since you said that, tell everybody how they can

Speaker 1: e m g N life dot com. Okay cool. Now

704
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 1: here's the here's the beauty of talking to a person

705
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: like you, because first of all, you know you're you're

706
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: doing what you want to do in life, and you're

707
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 1: getting paid to do it. That's the beauty. That's I

708
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: think that's the goal of everybody in life, because a

709
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 1: lot of people are doing jobs and making money and

710
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: they don't like getting up in the morning, they don't

711
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 1: like the people sitting next to them, they don't like

712
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,920
Speaker 1: the traffic that they're sitting in when they go to

713
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 1: work or come back from work. With with all these

714
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:23,360
Speaker 1: what stops people from changing their life. And obviously I

715
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:26,399
Speaker 1: know you sent me some questions, but I gotta ask

716
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: some personal generic questions like this because they have afford me.

717
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: Because people need to know that basically, you're stopping yourself.

718
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 1: Correct absolutely, absolutely, And I would say one of the

719
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,439
Speaker 1: biggest things that stopped us is our excuses. So, um,

720
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, when I tell people to live your dream,

721
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: especially starting out, it's not gonna always be easy. It's

722
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: a decision. So one of the things that I was

723
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: a teenage mom. I had my daughter when I was nineteen,

724
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: and one of the decisions I meant was not to

725
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: quit my dream of going to school. Even though my

726
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: grandmother said, hey, you have a daughter, now you need

727
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: to focus on something else. I realized that in order

728
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: to do what I need to do, I needed a

729
00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: college education. So I kept my friend's kids at night

730
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: and they watched my daughter during the day. Like I

731
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: figured out how to make it work right, So I

732
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 1: allowed my could have been excused to be my reason.

733
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 1: My daughter now is going to her senior year in college.

734
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: She's a producer at the radio station, she has her

735
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: own clothing line. She has learned from me not to

736
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: let your excuses be it's the reason why you don't

737
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: s see, but be the reasons why you shouldn't see.

738
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: So that's what I tell people. Whatever your excuse is,

739
00:42:33,040 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: we all have you know, illness, uh, the boor whatever

740
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: it may be. We all have them. But allowed that

741
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: to be the thing that fused you to go for

742
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: your drinks because and I think that one thing I

743
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: noticed you're willing to expose yourself, because I remember when

744
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: you got up and spoke at the at the event

745
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 1: on Friday for the African American Museum, is that you

746
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: told everybody, I'm a single mall. You know. I think

747
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,840
Speaker 1: that's important that you wanted to tell people how to

748
00:42:59,880 --> 00:43:02,479
Speaker 1: be successful. You have to be willing to share because

749
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: certain things people consider flaws, and you want what people

750
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: may consider flaws, you know, like damaged goods or things

751
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,360
Speaker 1: like that stop you. And when you said that, that's interesting.

752
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 1: But as I said, it's interesting not because I've never

753
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: heard that before. I said it was interesting because of

754
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: the fact that it's important when you're asking people to

755
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: do something for you, when you're asking for money, you

756
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: have to tell them your story, and you have to

757
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: also turn around and say the word sacrifice, and you

758
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,320
Speaker 1: use all those in the process. And that's what stops

759
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,400
Speaker 1: a lot of people is that they're not willing to

760
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: be honest with what they want to do in life.

761
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: They're not being honest about the effort that they want

762
00:43:42,200 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: to put out in life, and they don't want to

763
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 1: make sacrifices. What you said in the beginning of basically excuses, right, absolutely,

764
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: we all have them. And if you're going to be great,

765
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: and I say be great, meaning that we all have

766
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 1: these gifts inside of us, you have to be able

767
00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: to dedicate at least of your time to that thing, right,

768
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: And so in order to do that, when you get

769
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: up in the morning, like I got up this morning,

770
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 1: it's raining here, and my kids said, like my oldest

771
00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: she's she came home yesterday and she says, mon, where

772
00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: are you going? You know it's a storm, right, I said, yeah,

773
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: it's a storm. But again, I already decided that today

774
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: I was coming. I was working on the book, and

775
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: I was gonna get that done. So its orders to

776
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: be great, you have to do what you say you're

777
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: gonna do, and you have to do that consistently, no

778
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 1: matter what's going on around you. Now, with that being said,

779
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 1: what frustrates you? And I want I want my viewers

780
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: on Facebook at Rashaan McDonald dot com, my listeners on

781
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 1: four in Houston if you download the app. What frustrates

782
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 1: you too. You know, you consider out with a person

783
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 1: they hire you, our company hires you, what is the

784
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:56,319
Speaker 1: number one rule that they break immediately? That just just

785
00:44:56,640 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 1: pos you. Um. I would say with people that I've

786
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 1: brought in is that they don't they they present themselves

787
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:10,600
Speaker 1: one way, did they change? So however you come to

788
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: that company, however you come to your job. However you

789
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 1: come to your clients being the very best, and do

790
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: that consistently. You know. Another thing is people don't put

791
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: blinders on. We're so busy looking at what other people

792
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,400
Speaker 1: are doing, especially like when I'm working with small business owners.

793
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: It's very easy for someone to say, hey, this person

794
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 1: has five d tho followers and I only have ten thousand,

795
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: or this person has ten thousand and I only have

796
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 1: to focus on what God has given. You. Don't look

797
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: around when you're Yeah, when you're looking around, you you don't.

798
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,359
Speaker 1: You're not consistent to what you're called to do. So

799
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 1: the hours that you've s been thinking about Susie or

800
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: Joe Bro, you're not doing what you need to do.

801
00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 1: The person who stays the course, when that's just it.

802
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: You win if you stay the course. That is so

803
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: true and I have to say that because a lot

804
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 1: of people, a lot of people want to look at

805
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:04,760
Speaker 1: the car that somebody drives, or the house when somebody

806
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: lives in, or the tip they leave on the table.

807
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: Don't worry about that. That at your code, then at

808
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 1: your house, that at your tip. Stay in your lane,

809
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: and be consistent, like you said, be consistent with the

810
00:46:16,120 --> 00:46:18,840
Speaker 1: plan that you're trying to develop. And that's really what

811
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: we're talking about. And then what and that's really what

812
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: you say, And that's what I was just saying, is

813
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: that that's why when you invited me. I remember I

814
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: called just I made it into Atlanta because they the

815
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,840
Speaker 1: flights will open and allowed me to fly out of Houston,

816
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 1: and I called you and I said, can I still come?

817
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,239
Speaker 1: And because I came there for the experience, because that's

818
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: how you gain information, That's how you don't don't don't

819
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: don't just bother yourself into your world of information. It's

820
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: so much more information out there you can gather by

821
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: going to events, create new relationships, and expose yourself the

822
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,840
Speaker 1: information that you would normally have if you didn't go

823
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:58,319
Speaker 1: through the experience. Correct. Absolutely, And I just appreciate you

824
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: for coming. I think that's another point that you you

825
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: brought stepping outside your conference zone. You know, I know

826
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: you used to just be you know, with celebrities for

827
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:13,439
Speaker 1: ducers and all the truth. I'm used to that, yeah,

828
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: because and all of these different things, UH fundraises with Obama.

829
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:22,919
Speaker 1: But you said, hey, um, this young lady is doing

830
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: this and I want to support her and I and

831
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: you did that, and I so appreciate that you got

832
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 1: to step outside your conference zone as entrepreneur, and you

833
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,240
Speaker 1: have to do things that you wouldn't normally or typically

834
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: do to make it because you never know where your

835
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: next opportunity is going to come. I always tell people

836
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 1: that you never know what relationship that you're gonna build,

837
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: and that relationship is going to be the thing that

838
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 1: catapults you into what you're always supposed to do. Okay,

00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 1: show because of the fact that of all the people

916
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: that I can bring on the show. And when we

917
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: got to start doing Q and age with you, how

00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: enough to know if you don't know, you're gonna find

921
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: out an answer. And so when you send me a

922
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: resume and you have all these speaking topics, and let's

923
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: let's briefly just briefly say when I when I what

924
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 1: do you know about finances? When I'm just gonna throw

925
00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: it out like that, and you just give me a

926
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: quick synopsis so people get a sense of who you

927
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: are and your brain. Okay, uh, well, well, and I

928
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:07,480
Speaker 1: started my career very very young, and fortunately so I

929
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: do have a background and accounting background which I have

930
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: used all the time. I knew when I wanted to

931
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: start business that I could go to school and get

932
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 1: a degree in accounting because any business or anything that

933
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 1: you're passionate about, someone has to handle the money and

934
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: the finances. That's the backbone of any business in any area. UM.

935
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,919
Speaker 1: So I did go to school for accounting. Then, as

936
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: I said, I did start my corporate career when I

937
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: was eighteen now forty one, so I've been in that

938
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 1: corporate career for twenty two years. I'm a business finance manager,

939
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:42,960
Speaker 1: so I oversee forty two locations in the Washington Baltimore,

940
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:46,719
Speaker 1: Virginia area. Um as well as you know, my corporation

941
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,880
Speaker 1: is enter you know, an international company, as well as

942
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 1: then the finance. Um as I got more and more

943
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: into finance that I grew to have a passion for taxes.

944
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,879
Speaker 1: Don't you just don't jump a lane. I gotta set

945
00:54:01,920 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: you up. I told you talk too much, but you

946
00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: talented though. Okay, now now here's my next question. What

947
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: do you know about taxes well. In taxes, I mean,

948
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:13,920
Speaker 1: of course, you can look up my name, Laura Foods.

949
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm on the I R S website, so I'm a

950
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,959
Speaker 1: licensed tax preparer. I can do taxes UM in all

951
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,880
Speaker 1: the states. We I do personal taxes, I can do

952
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 1: small business taxes UM. And I just thought it was

953
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: important and now I'm even getting more into educating people.

954
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: A lot of people know me for doing on my

955
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:35,280
Speaker 1: Facebook page tax tip Tuesdays, because I found in taxes

956
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 1: people really don't have to understand taxes. They just go

957
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,479
Speaker 1: to somebody and do it, but do not understand why

958
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,720
Speaker 1: do I owe or why do I get a refund?

959
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: So that's how I've gotten so passionate about taxes UM

960
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 1: because people just don't seem to understand it. And a

961
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: lot of preparers don't educate their clients. Now, hopefully my

962
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: clients I don't provide them too much education and they

963
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: leave me and start going to do their own UM.

964
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,040
Speaker 1: But I want my clients to be educated, you know,

965
00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,240
Speaker 1: and I want to and I prepare them all year long,

966
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to just interact with them at

967
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: tax time. We want to interact all year long. And

968
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,400
Speaker 1: that's what my tax tip Tuesdays are about. But next question,

969
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 1: what do you know about business startup? Oh my god,

970
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: don't do it now? Well, like I said, and most

971
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 1: of us know of Salon Couture for the Neighborhood Awards.

972
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: We were very fortunate to be recognized by d C

973
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 1: and then across the country four times for best Mail

974
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:32,279
Speaker 1: Salon and then one time for best Beauty Salon in

975
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: the country. Um. And that's because, like I said, we

976
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:37,760
Speaker 1: were four young women that had a dream. Of course,

977
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 1: now you can't have a dream, but you do have

978
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: to have some cash saved. Um. And we went from

979
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: you know, we have a brick and mortar business. This

980
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:48,439
Speaker 1: is not just an online business. So I think that

981
00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,160
Speaker 1: those are two completely different things. You know, when you

982
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: were a brick and mortar business. There is a lot

983
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,880
Speaker 1: that goes into starting a brick and mortar business. I

984
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 1: probably know more than I ever wanted to know. A

985
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: out d t us and a heavy up for the

986
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 1: electrical panel box and the plumbing, you know all of

987
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,800
Speaker 1: those things. Um. But so yes, And this year in

988
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: October we are celebrating ten years um that clon CoA

989
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 1: tour has been opened. And then in this past October.

990
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: We just opened a beauty supply store, which is right, yes, yes,

991
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: and then my tax office is two doors down from that,

992
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: so I'm just taking over the shopping center. Nothing wrong

993
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 1: with that. Nothing wrong with that. Told you have a

994
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,759
Speaker 1: big personality, So I pretty much one day it's just

995
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a bill board above. Now what do you know?

996
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,319
Speaker 1: That would be nice? Let's go the next topic. What

997
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:45,800
Speaker 1: do you know about death care? Um? Well, my corporate career,

998
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 1: which a lot of people don't know because it is

999
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: a corporate thing, so I don't talk a lot about it.

1000
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 1: Or now I am going to begin to talk more

1001
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,399
Speaker 1: about it on social media just from doing your show.

1002
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 1: We've talked about it and other people asking about it. UM.

1003
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: But very passionate about this business as well because it

1004
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: impacts a lot of families financially, UH and the death

1005
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: care industry. What I what I do is we talk

1006
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 1: to families about pre arranging so that we don't have

1007
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: go fund mese everywhere, excuse me. And it's just educating

1008
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,880
Speaker 1: families that they are able to take care of these

1009
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,919
Speaker 1: arrangements ahead of time, and then we educate them about

1010
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: how they're able to do that. So I do know.

1011
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: And like I said, and I've been in that industry

1012
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: for twenty two years so have a lot of knowledge

1013
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: on the death care industry. Unfortunately, what do you know

1014
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:40,520
Speaker 1: about co parenting? Well that now that that could be

1015
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 1: a whole that could be a whole show right there. Um.

1016
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,560
Speaker 1: But most of the people in the d m V market,

1017
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: or if you follow me on social media, know that said.

1018
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 1: The kid is my reason, she's my why, she is

1019
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,479
Speaker 1: my everything. Um. I became a you know, a mother

1020
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: at a very young age, and we thought we were

1021
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: doing it the right way. Um. And I did get

1022
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:03,080
Speaker 1: married when I was twenty two. And unfortunately, when you're

1023
00:58:03,120 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: young and you don't know any better than you know,

1024
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 1: sometimes that doesn't always work out. Um. But what what

1025
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: I do try to teach people as far and anyone

1026
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: that I can talk to as far as co parenting,

1027
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, is I love my daughter more than anything

1028
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:21,480
Speaker 1: or anyone, and and her relationship with her father is

1029
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: very important to me. So we do not we don't argue.

1030
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 1: And of course it's never enough money involved. You know.

1031
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: I would like to have more money coming in or

1032
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:32,720
Speaker 1: more child support and all of those things. But my

1033
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 1: key focus has always been on her. So, yes, we

1034
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: do still do Christmas Is together, we do the birthdays together.

1035
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: I'm very good friends with his you know, when he

1036
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: got remarried and his fiance, I'm very good friends with

1037
00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: them because we have to raise our children together. And

1038
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: I think that you learn to put your feelings aside

1039
00:58:51,760 --> 00:58:55,320
Speaker 1: or your emotions aside for the best interests of your children. UM.

1040
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,439
Speaker 1: So that's why I do talk to people about how

1041
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: do we do this the right way so that our

1042
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: wildren are a good and a good environment and healthy environment.

1043
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 1: They're allowed to love both parents. Um, and even when

1044
00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 1: they get remarried, you're allowed to love those parents as well. Okay, cool.

1045
00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:12,440
Speaker 1: Now there are two more topics I want to bring

1046
00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: up because I want to bring them up because I

1047
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 1: want to be able to in the second break, because

1048
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about your brand, because

1049
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: I think that you're you're such an an exceptional talent.

1050
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 1: And I gotta say this right now. If you can

1051
00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: see me, you would see I'm blushing right now. That's

1052
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 1: just good because I'm too dark to blush. Okay, they

1053
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: just just just see me, grant, because see the thing

1054
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: about it is that is that I brought you on

1055
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: the show because people go where you keep bring. I

1056
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 1: need people understand who you are, and then I want

1057
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: to I want you to understand who you are because

1058
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: you right now don't know who you are because the

1059
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 1: fact that you know you throught all these ideas because

1060
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: you truly are a life coach. What I'm saying, because

1061
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: you have the because you have the experience and the

1062
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: the technical savvy to be able to communicate from the

1063
01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: start to the finish. You understand what I'm saying. You

1064
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: know you can raise them and you can bury them.

1065
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: You know you can. You can, you can. That's very

1066
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: important in that process. And you can tell people how

1067
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: to gain their wealth, how to recover their wealth, how

1068
01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: to come from bankruptcy to success. All that's very important.

1069
01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 1: And I feel and I'm not saying, you know, and

1070
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:25,919
Speaker 1: when I get in these little zones like that, people

1071
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: all say, is he about to manage her? I'm not

1072
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: saying that. I'm just saying this is that is that

1073
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:35,200
Speaker 1: me and you and the relationship that we're developing is

Speaker 1: are you? Thank you for calling in? Good? Good, good.

1129
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: Lord's on my favorite people on the planet, and I

1130
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,800
Speaker 1: am the blessed to have some inside and knowledge UM

1131
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 1: that I want her to share with all of your

1132
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 1: other listeners. So my question for you, Laura, that I

1133
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 1: hope you can um it gives them kind of inside

1134
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: the information is how do you overcome the fear of

1135
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: failure that's associated with starting and successfully operating your own businesses? Um? Okay,

1136
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 1: So good question. Overcoming the fear of failure? Well, I

1137
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 1: think when you are are UM, when you first determine

1138
01:04:02,360 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: your why, which for me my wife of course, was

1139
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 1: being a young single mother and having a child to

1140
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 1: take care of. That I took on as a huge

1141
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: responsibility and just like anything else, just like with business,

1142
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,360
Speaker 1: I had to make her successful and I had to

1143
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:21,919
Speaker 1: make her the best baby ever. Um So I think

1144
01:04:21,960 --> 01:04:25,040
Speaker 1: once you take, once you determine what your why is.

1145
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 1: And then I found out early on my purpose, I

1146
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:32,040
Speaker 1: know is to share my information and educate people about finances,

1147
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 1: whether it's personal finances, business finances. Then yet, um, have

1148
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:38,720
Speaker 1: some of the things that I've tried not worked. Have

1149
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:41,640
Speaker 1: I had some events where nobody shows up and there's

1150
01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: two people in the room, or then you go to

1151
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 1: other events where there's a hundred people in the room

1152
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: or there's six hundred people in the room. Um, But

1153
01:04:48,800 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: I think it is knowing that you have a purpose

1154
01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 1: and I have a why, and so failure is not

1155
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 1: an option or like if you all watch my social

1156
01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 1: media pages and I post my morning motivation every day,

1157
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: it is just what they say. I don't necessarily take

1158
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: it as a failure. It is then talking to people

1159
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 1: and asking questions of okay, so what do I need

1160
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 1: to do? How do I make this better? How can

1161
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: it be better the next time? Because, as I said,

1162
01:05:15,680 --> 01:05:18,680
Speaker 1: my child school tuition has to be paid, so failing

1163
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 1: is not even an option. Um. But I do think

1164
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,520
Speaker 1: one of the key things is I do try to

1165
01:05:24,560 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 1: make sure that I keep my core circle close and

1166
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:32,439
Speaker 1: that I have good, motivating, empowering people around me who

1167
01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 1: they keep me motivated because of course I have off

1168
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 1: seasons and I have bad days or you know, or

1169
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: even seasons where Okay, I'm done with this. Can I

1170
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: just work my nine to five and I don't want

1171
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,680
Speaker 1: to do anything else anymore. Um. But when you have

1172
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:48,320
Speaker 1: an empowering circle around you, um, they keep you going

1173
01:05:48,440 --> 01:05:51,880
Speaker 1: and they keep reminding you of your why. Um. So

1174
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: I think that, like you said, so that kind of

1175
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: sounds cliche, failure isn't an option. But once you know

1176
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 1: your why and your purpose, then I don't necessarily think

1177
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 1: you're failing. It's you know, getting it right or making

1178
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:05,200
Speaker 1: it better. Yes, let me add Let me add to that, Sassy.

1179
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: On top of what the wonderful information you've just gotten

1180
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 1: from Laara is that a lot of people, you know,

1181
01:06:12,040 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 1: they don't plan and they because it's so hard. The

1182
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: number one mistake that most people making small businesses, they

1183
01:06:18,840 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 1: don't have a business plan. They have a great idea,

1184
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 1: but they don't have a business plan. And they look

1185
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 1: at ten dollars. If they charged ten dollars for a hamburger,

1186
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: they don't realize that, you know, you gotta pay for

1187
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 1: taxes on that hamburger, you gotta pay for the lettuce.

1188
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: To me, they don't realize that you might be walking

1189
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: away with three dollars. And so that's where the planning

1190
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: part comes into it, and also the consistency, and also

1191
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 1: make sure if you're going into business with everybody, with

1192
01:06:44,440 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: other people, you all have the same values. And I'm

1193
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 1: gonna just go I'm gonna slow that down. I'm gonna

1194
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 1: slow that down because you can't make up another person

1195
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:57,439
Speaker 1: be like you. You have to accept them for who

1196
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 1: they are and then in their strengths. Okay, I can

1197
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: just shure you all the partners in Salon Couture are

1198
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: not alight, you know, because I can't nobody out talk Lord.

1199
01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: They all they all know that. They all know that,

1200
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: they all know that, but each one of them have

1201
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: a tremendous strength and to what the number one mistakes

1202
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: people make. It's like they'll say, well, I'm here twenty

1203
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: four hours a day. What that's you If you decided

1204
01:07:23,200 --> 01:07:25,280
Speaker 1: to be at your job or this company twenty four

1205
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 1: hours a day, don't try to make other people do that. Now,

1206
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 1: if you're gonna get in business, know the person that

1207
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 1: you're getting in business with, so that way you you

1208
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: won't be blindsided or not. If they're doing something down

1209
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 1: the line that makes you upset, that's the number that's

1210
01:07:42,040 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: one of the number one problems. It's the same thing

1211
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:48,440
Speaker 1: with your kids, with your wife or whoever you're dating.

1212
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 1: Do not try to force these people into your lifestyle.

1213
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 1: You volunteer for this. You you decided to leave IBM

1214
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 1: and go on the road and tell jokes. I can

1215
01:07:58,320 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 1: drag my mama out there. My mama name want me.

1216
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 1: My mom was happy with me being that IBM so

1217
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 1: I could guard my mama wind And hey, these folks

1218
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: ain't laughing in Kentucky, these folks they booed me off

1219
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: the stage. In Virginia on the fifteen people showed up.

1220
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,439
Speaker 1: I don't think this man is gonna pay me. In Mississippi,

1221
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:17,479
Speaker 1: they didn't ask for that. And so what it happens

1222
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: is a lot of people they try to put their

1223
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 1: burden of their decision on other people. Guess what happens

1224
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:27,240
Speaker 1: when you do that, Your your crowd and supports shrinks.

1225
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 1: It's shrinks, and so when it shrinks, guess what all

1226
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:35,639
Speaker 1: people see you as bad news? Are you begging for something?

1227
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 1: Are you complaining about something? Here's the number one thing

1228
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: when you are a leader. You cannot have bad days.

1229
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,759
Speaker 1: When you are a leader, you cannot cry in public.

1230
01:08:48,320 --> 01:08:51,080
Speaker 1: When you are a leader, you have to let everybody

1231
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,920
Speaker 1: know that the bullet you just shot, that you just

1232
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 1: got shot with, you're gonna keep on walking and you're

1233
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: gonna keep on walking because what you made the decision

1234
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: to leave people up that hill and back down that

1235
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 1: hill to victory. And that is really key. And what

1236
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying to anybody who's listening, and especially to you know,

1237
01:09:09,160 --> 01:09:11,280
Speaker 1: and I know Laura's hearing me, She's gonna, yeah, yeah,

1238
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 1: I agree with everything he's saying, because guess what their days.

1239
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,640
Speaker 1: I would tell people I have had tears in my

1240
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:21,760
Speaker 1: eyes because I didn't want to get up. They have days.

1241
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:25,600
Speaker 1: There are days when I didn't I wanted to call somebody,

1242
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:27,600
Speaker 1: but I couldn't call them because I couldn't show that

1243
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,600
Speaker 1: sign of weakness because they believed in me. So I

1244
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:33,400
Speaker 1: had to do my research. I had to have relationships.

1245
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 1: There are people, they're CEOs, their presidents of companies, they're

1246
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 1: famous athletes, they're famous actors who called me for advice.

1247
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: Now what if I decided to tell everybody I'm stupid,

1248
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know a darn thing you think they

1249
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 1: keep calling me because guess what, I'll have have shown

1250
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:55,439
Speaker 1: a sign of weakness because that is not my brand.

1251
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: My brand is a brand of success. And if you

1252
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: called me, I will make you succe. That's for And

1253
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 1: that's really what this is all about. This is all

1254
01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 1: what money making conversations is about. And that's why in

1255
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:08,479
Speaker 1: the first half of this interview, I wanted to make

1256
01:10:08,479 --> 01:10:11,800
Speaker 1: sure people understood why I was talking to Laura. And

1257
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,559
Speaker 1: I need Laura to understand who she is. See, see

1258
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:17,320
Speaker 1: what happens with talented people. They tend to only they

1259
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 1: tend to. They tend to kind of like keep their abilities,

1260
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: you know, a very tight circle and only a few

1261
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: people know about they're listed out, but they don't really

1262
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,400
Speaker 1: understand what they've listed out. And so I just wanted

1263
01:10:28,439 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 1: her for the first time, maybe maybe for the first time,

1264
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 1: for her to hear herself talk about herself, so she

1265
01:10:35,320 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: can take in the information that she's has because you know,

1266
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 1: you can go said, you know, I can, I can

1267
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 1: shoot them, I can. You know, look at Lebron James.

1268
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: Lebron James a class example. He has game show on,

1269
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 1: he has a TV show on, he has foundations, he

1270
01:10:53,320 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: plays basketball. You know, he's an entrepreneur, he has a

1271
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:03,640
Speaker 1: sporting agent. See that's all I'm saying. He's embraced his

1272
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 1: ability to make money. Now when I look at Laura,

1273
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: when I look at her, she's she's feeling information. Now

1274
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:14,280
Speaker 1: when we hang up this phone, she don't have a

1275
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:18,479
Speaker 1: different conversation about herself. And I hope you do because

1276
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 1: you are a an enterprise young lady, and it's it's

1277
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 1: enough of people telling you how talented you are. It's

1278
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 1: time for you to really look at your website and

1279
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: say who am I and started watching yourself. And once

1280
01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:34,600
Speaker 1: you find out who you are, then your bread will explode.

1281
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 1: Does that makes this Laura, because right now, listen to me. Now, Finances,

1429
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 1: the beauty of our relationship. And what I'm just trying

1430
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 1: to do with this show is the show tell everybody

1431
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:00,599
Speaker 1: you can get there, because other people have out in there.

1432
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 1: You know. It's just like you know, there's only one person.

1433
01:20:03,760 --> 01:20:06,400
Speaker 1: It's only one person that's the very first person to

1434
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:09,679
Speaker 1: the top of mountain errors, but other people have followed. Okay,

1435
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:12,839
Speaker 1: So so don't be shocked when you're going the store

1436
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:15,519
Speaker 1: and you see products on the shelf, you go, how

1437
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 1: did that get on the shelf? Where you need to

1438
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,000
Speaker 1: find out? Okay, because not all these products on the

1439
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 1: shilfs are from major corporations, you know, you know, they

1440
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 1: really need to understand that. And I think that people

1441
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: you know, because in your life, you know, you're an

1442
01:20:29,360 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 1: African American male, so you know you weren't born well,

1443
01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 1: as they say, a silver spoon in your mouth. So everything. Man,

1444
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I had a wooden But

1445
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:40,600
Speaker 1: you're big bard that you ate something that you ate

1446
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 1: something that you ate something that hey, I'm permiss I

1447
01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:46,920
Speaker 1: probably eat a lot of collar greens the hand. So

1448
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:49,200
Speaker 1: so when you when you talk about the opportunities to

1449
01:20:49,280 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 1: be successful speaking of yourself personally, what jumps out the

1450
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 1: most man myself person is just having the ambition. Ever still,

1451
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,360
Speaker 1: and I and my father, and he was an entrepreneur,

1452
01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 1: my mother was, and they truly paved the way for me.

1453
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,599
Speaker 1: And they taught me, regardless of what the circumstances was,

1454
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 1: is to dream. And that's what I did. I dreamed big.

1455
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:14,880
Speaker 1: But what I wanted to do was I put a

1456
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:17,639
Speaker 1: passion and work behind it. You know, everybody enough saying

1457
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 1: this truth fake but that works is useless. And I

1458
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:23,800
Speaker 1: created a vision and a road mouth for myself. And

1459
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:26,960
Speaker 1: I was determined I was gonna go further than my surroundings.

1460
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 1: When I talked about I said, man, I come come

1461
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:31,720
Speaker 1: from a small town. The population I was always five

1462
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 1: thousand people. But it wasn't about where I was living.

1463
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 1: It was about where I wanted to go. And that

1464
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 1: was part of my journey. And and and going out

1465
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 1: and lunch and companies man and and I lunched. I

1466
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:46,880
Speaker 1: lunched my first restaurant and I was sixteen years older

1467
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:51,720
Speaker 1: son and the and the thing was much did because

1468
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 1: I wanted to buy a car going into my senior

1469
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 1: year school, and my father taught me how to cook man,

1470
01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:02,320
Speaker 1: and that's what started at all man, and so so

1471
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:06,200
Speaker 1: so now here's the thing about it. Okay, there's a

1472
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 1: lot of people out there. I have a talented a

1473
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:11,679
Speaker 1: young nephew who has Big six Barbecue, is a food

1474
01:22:11,680 --> 01:22:15,599
Speaker 1: truck in Houston, Texas. He makes his own sausage. He's

1475
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 1: just talented and and really it's really interesting, man, because

1476
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,280
Speaker 1: what this is just a this is just a basic

1477
01:22:22,360 --> 01:22:26,559
Speaker 1: question because his bobecque does take taste different. Well, that's

1478
01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 1: a different rude his sausage, like he's real tips. What

1479
01:22:32,200 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 1: what separates that? I gotta just ask you, as a chef,

1480
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 1: how how does you know? Because there's a lot of

1481
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 1: restaurants are you can walk a different restaurant. They they

1482
01:22:41,120 --> 01:22:43,639
Speaker 1: got the best shrimp. You go, who the bad cooking?

1483
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:49,679
Speaker 1: This is terrible exactly. And look who made that corn bread?

1484
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:51,519
Speaker 1: And you can taste the meal. You know what I'm

1485
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:55,920
Speaker 1: saying exactly. You know, it is not a cliche when

1486
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: people say that I'm cooking with love and from the heart.

1487
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:03,320
Speaker 1: It's is all about how you're feeling and what you

1488
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 1: put into it. You know, whatever, whatever it is that

1489
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 1: you love to do in life, if you're doing it

1490
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,120
Speaker 1: for the love of it. My thing is when I cooking,

1491
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:14,200
Speaker 1: like the bother you're talking about with the sauces and

1492
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:17,719
Speaker 1: the sauces, I can imagine that when we cook, we're

1493
01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 1: not cooking for ourself, We're cooking for you. And that's

1494
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 1: the thing. I treat every meal as if it's my

1495
01:23:24,200 --> 01:23:27,040
Speaker 1: last meal, the same way what they say people who

1496
01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:29,240
Speaker 1: in the shows, they treat every show and if it's

1497
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:31,679
Speaker 1: the last show. And you put it all out there, man,

1498
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 1: everything that I do, I'm doing it because I get

1499
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:37,320
Speaker 1: the pleasure out of seeing your reaction on how you

1500
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,759
Speaker 1: love and it is it is about a memoire. You

1501
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 1: you can't do it. And I tell people when I

1502
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:46,400
Speaker 1: started off in this business, I just start off because

1503
01:23:46,400 --> 01:23:48,560

1504
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,640

1505
01:23:51,720 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: I do and I love making people happy. And that's

1506
01:23:55,040 --> 01:24:00,639
Speaker 1: what it was about. So said, who are you your father?

01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 1: is to the fans, is staying true to him. The

1514
01:24:29,120 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 1: fans started loving me, man, I've been on Food Network

1515
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 1: all of nine years from Cutthroat Kids and Sheelf wanted

1516
01:24:35,960 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 1: Food Network start Judge and Chop Jr. And the thing

1517
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:42,799
Speaker 1: is they kept bringing me backwards because the fans desired

1518
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:44,960
Speaker 1: and loved the character of who I was and what

1519
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 1: it was was the originality. And when you say, okay,

1520
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 1: the everyday person, regardless of how big I get in

01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 1: and the fact because at the end of the day,

1525
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:04,800
Speaker 1: I have to always keep it in my mind by

1526
01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:07,919

1549
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 1: create relationships. You know, how to stay in front of

1550
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:32,720
Speaker 1: people what I'm saying, because you you know, you were

1551
01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:37,360
Speaker 1: sending me videos of you cooking, and then I didn't respond,

1552
01:26:37,400 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 1: and you follow up, go you didn't like it? When

1553
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 1: we're seeing you another you know, you know which which

1554
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:48,840
Speaker 1: is good because that man, that means that you're putting them,

1555
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:51,439
Speaker 1: you're willing to put the work in to build your

1556
01:26:51,479 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 1: brand and create your relationship. And and this is this

1557
01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 1: is very important. And this is what I hope people

1558
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:00,200
Speaker 1: are starting to take away when they're listening it to

1559
01:27:00,280 --> 01:27:03,880
Speaker 1: this show, is that be willing to make an adjustment

1560
01:27:04,320 --> 01:27:11,320
Speaker 1: if it gives you the opportunity to win. Because you know,

1561
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 1: we got on a conference call my producer, uh, Samantha Taylor,

1562
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,719
Speaker 1: and I've gotta call him and Mia and we in Samantha,

1563
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 1: who he don't know at least at least he know me.

1564
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:24,720
Speaker 1: You know, he knows me, so he could probably take

1565
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 1: a hit from me. But then he got this unknown

1566
01:27:27,280 --> 01:27:30,720
Speaker 1: person and looked at his video giving him notes and saying, well,

1567
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:34,640
Speaker 1: you now, it's a little too fast here and I

1568
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:37,920
Speaker 1: can't read the text. The text needs to be white,

1569
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:40,880
Speaker 1: and I think you need to be you know, you're

1570
01:27:40,880 --> 01:27:44,280
Speaker 1: moving too too quick when you're cooking. And I don't

1571
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 1: even know she can cook, first of all, you know,

1572
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 1: so we got a person who giving him notes. We

1573
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:50,519
Speaker 1: don't even know if they can cook because she's she's

1574
01:27:50,560 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 1: petite inside. When petite people don't really eat, and so

1575
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:57,400
Speaker 1: you know that, you know they eat. Petite people get

1576
01:27:57,400 --> 01:27:59,600
Speaker 1: on my nerves, you know, talking about they eat a lot.

1577
01:28:01,720 --> 01:28:04,160
Speaker 1: You know, all they do that one little burst of eating.

1578
01:28:04,600 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 1: I told you I could eat. Okay, follow hm around

1579
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:08,560
Speaker 1: for a week. That was a whole meal. You know,

1580
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm saying and so and so. I say that to

1581
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:14,760
Speaker 1: say that, you know, you're wanted to take these notes

1582
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:17,920
Speaker 1: and make these adjustments. And then Leslie, who you really

1583
01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 1: don't know, my technical guru. She said, well he misspelled tablespoon.

1584
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 1: You know, she said, I like the video, but he

1585
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:33,519
Speaker 1: misspelled tablespoon. And so you're taking all these hits right

1586
01:28:33,560 --> 01:28:36,920
Speaker 1: from all these unknown people. I ain't saying the words.

1587
01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:40,519
Speaker 1: I was just letting people do their thing. You can't spell,

1588
01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: told you can't cook. But you you're hanging in there

1589
01:28:46,920 --> 01:28:49,840
Speaker 1: because all you see his opportunity. You're telling everybody I

1590
01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:52,960
Speaker 1: don't care what they say. Long as Mr McDonald said

1591
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 1: he gonna post my video, I'm riding all this out.

1592
01:28:56,520 --> 01:28:59,400
Speaker 1: So telling people tell my listeners in my viewers why

1593
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 1: that was so important that they need to understand when

1594
01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:06,519
Speaker 1: people criticize you or critique your work, don't take it personal.

1595
01:29:07,640 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 1: You never can take the person you know. It's it's

1596
01:29:12,200 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 1: constructive criticism. And that's that's what it is that it builds.

1597
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:20,360
Speaker 1: It builds you up. It built us up to the

1598
01:29:20,439 --> 01:29:23,439
Speaker 1: platform where we were. And I learned a long time ago.

1599
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:26,839
Speaker 1: If somebody is saying something to you in this industry

1600
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 1: and you you're trying to build a business and a brand,

1601
01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 1: I'm a spunge. And that's what I suggested people don't

1602
01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:35,400
Speaker 1: take it to heart, taking and learn from me because

1603
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 1: I put in my mind was the people that are

1604
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:41,160
Speaker 1: giving me the advice and that are giving these different tools,

1605
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:44,639
Speaker 1: they have been there and done that, and that's where

1606
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:46,479
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get to. And that's where I want

1607
01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:50,800
Speaker 1: to maintain. And did so so absorbed and what I

1608
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 1: learned to do with adapt, adapt to change and adapt

1609
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:57,599
Speaker 1: fad when w ain't got time, Man, if he's sitting

1610
01:29:57,600 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 1: around and I'm talking to try to think about what

1611
01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:02,600
Speaker 1: I need to do, I need to hear what you

1612
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:08,000
Speaker 1: guys are saying on it immediately. Cool. Let me tell

1613
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:10,839
Speaker 1: you something, my friend there's a lot of cooking shows

1614
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 1: out there. How does a person sitting at the house

1615
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:20,880
Speaker 1: get on these shows? Man? I'm just how do how

1616
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:22,880
Speaker 1: do you know? You'll tell you? You know, you turn

1617
01:30:22,960 --> 01:30:26,440
Speaker 1: on man. They got people thinking their own cooking videos.

1618
01:30:26,840 --> 01:30:28,800
Speaker 1: You've got people on the Food with Net word the

1619
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:31,639
Speaker 1: Cooking Network, that people on the they're people cooking on TV.

1620
01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:34,800
Speaker 1: They shouldn't be cooking. Okay, let's stop bading. It's some

1621
01:30:34,880 --> 01:30:37,639
Speaker 1: people out there cooking on TV. They shouldn't be cooking,

1622
01:30:38,200 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 1: but somehow they got on TV. How does that work? Man?

1623
01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 1: Like she's a comic, I know how that works. You

1624
01:30:44,120 --> 01:30:47,360
Speaker 1: know you you keep being funny, Keep being funny, keep auditions.

1625
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 1: Eventually you can understand you're funny. Now, everybody can do

1626
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:52,599
Speaker 1: a hamburger. There's a lot of people out there, can

1627
01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 1: do a steak. There's a lot of people out there

1628
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:59,280
Speaker 1: can do tacos or barbecue. How does a person get

1629
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:03,439
Speaker 1: on TV they can cook? First of all, you gotta

1630
01:31:03,479 --> 01:31:06,640
Speaker 1: have a culinary point of view. That culinary point the

1631
01:31:06,720 --> 01:31:10,000
Speaker 1: culinary point of view is what's your ain't gonna you

1632
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:12,360
Speaker 1: can't go on there. If you notice everybody's on the

1633
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:15,920
Speaker 1: cooking that they're cooking a certain specific thing, a certain goal.

1634
01:31:16,080 --> 01:31:18,320
Speaker 1: That's your style. You gotta have that. You can't be

1635
01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:22,280
Speaker 1: all over the board. That's the thing. The second thing

1636
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:25,720
Speaker 1: is because they these people on the nereways, they've got

1637
01:31:25,800 --> 01:31:28,759
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people, some men their information and

1638
01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:32,280
Speaker 1: the keys figure out what's unique about you and hone

1639
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:36,240
Speaker 1: in to make that shine. Hey, you gotta country acting

1640
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:38,679
Speaker 1: and they love here that in New York gay focus.

1641
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:51,040
Speaker 1: Don't talking country y'all y'all out. And learned to connect

1642
01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:53,759
Speaker 1: with the power of people. And that's what I did,

1643
01:31:54,120 --> 01:31:57,200
Speaker 1: you know. I learned to connect with the producers and

1644
01:31:56,840 --> 01:32:00,719
Speaker 1: the talent scouts, and I kept put in my self

1645
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:04,600
Speaker 1: self in front of them because persistency is key. And

1646
01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 1: I keep telling people that if it's something that you desire,

1647
01:32:08,240 --> 01:32:12,360
Speaker 1: wanting like you never stopped. You never stopped, You keep

1648
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:15,599
Speaker 1: hammering at regardless of how hard it may sing. Man,

1649
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:17,720
Speaker 1: there were time of years when I thought, hey, I

1650
01:32:18,479 --> 01:32:20,439
Speaker 1: would be at the bottom of the barrel and then

1651
01:32:20,920 --> 01:32:24,200
Speaker 1: by be staying the funny people my phone started ranging

1652
01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:26,479
Speaker 1: they Hey, we want you to do this, and and

1653
01:32:26,800 --> 01:32:29,120
Speaker 1: I was say yes, man, I said, I wasn't turning

1654
01:32:29,160 --> 01:32:34,240
Speaker 1: down nothing but my collar until I guess I need to. Hey,

1655
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:36,639
Speaker 1: they put me on the show like cutthroat kitchen man.

1656
01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:39,320
Speaker 1: They had me cooking on the water. They had me

1657
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:42,400
Speaker 1: run around with all counter donut rings on there, and

1658
01:32:42,439 --> 01:32:46,240
Speaker 1: I went and I dominated because why. The reason why

1659
01:32:46,439 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 1: is I wasn't just sitting at home sitting the videos.

1660
01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:52,719
Speaker 1: I was still working on my skill and my knowledge
