31
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: Rushan McDonald. I'm the host of Money Making Conversation. It's

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: always good to have people say things nice about you,

33
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: but they have three real things. I always played there.

34
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: It's called hype. Can the hype be uh real? Can

35
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: the hype be defined as a course of action that

36
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: allows you to give advice to other people so they

37
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: can follow you. I'll be following me because I've been

38
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: doing a lot of great things in my life. I've

39
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: done something into my life there I didn't think I

40
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: was capable of doing, but I decided to guess what.

41
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't let anybody else tell me I couldn't do it.

42
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: And a lot of people allow that to stop them.

43
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: They allowed themselves to be halted by doubters or friends

44
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: or family members, people who say they know more than you.

45
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: Effort makes the difference in those people. How much effort

46
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: you're willing to put in. I'm what's the sacrifice you're

47
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 1: willing to put out to be able to separate yourself

48
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: from the people who say what you cannot do and

49
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: what you're willing to do? What am I willing to do?

50
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: I'm willing to achieve my dreams. I'm willing to uh

51
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: make the goals that I put in place happen. I'm

52
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: willing to walk away from the first goal that I

53
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: said to apply new goal because you cannot live life

54
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,520
Speaker 1: on just one goal. You cannot that. I don't understand that.

55
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: You hear Tom Brady all the time you wanted super Bowl?

56
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: Guess what? He ready to win another super Bowl? Guess what.

57
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm cool with that because his goals change once he's

58
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: accomplished a task. Sometimes in sports you can see that

59
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: cleanly and and champions and winners. Uh and Michael Jordan's

60
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 1: you know, in the Lebron james Is of the world

61
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: who may not have accomplished of mala championships that Michael

62
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: Jordan has accomplished, but his effort to keep involving, to

63
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: keep developing and keep reinventing his brand is key. And

64
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: I guess what you everyday people know you're not Lebron. No,

65
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 1: you're not Michael Jordan. No, you're not some brilliantly trained

66
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: actor or comedian. But you can be successful. That's what

67
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: the show money Making Conversation is all about, being recognized

100
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: when she walked in a room. And so I said,

101
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: this is perfect prep for my interview with Stephanie the

102
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: day because this is high tech maxed out. I mean,

103

105
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: talented hackers. So when I when I when I talked

106
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: to you about tech, what level of tech are you

107
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: talking about? When I bring you on my show? I

108
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: focused mainly on consumer technology, so the stuff that most

109
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: people care about. You know, there are a lot of

110
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,799
Speaker 1: different areas that you could focus on. There's the whole

111
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: looking valley with startups and who got funding and what

112
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: series they and series B. There's there's you know, um,

113
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: hardcore research topics in AI and um you know, things

114
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: like that. But I like to focus on the things

115
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,600
Speaker 1: that nine percent of the population actually cares about. You know,

116
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: what phone should I get? What apps should I download?

117
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: To save some money or save some time? Or be

118
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: more productive during my day. What can I do with

119
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: my social media to not get fired? Or how can

120
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: I have a conversation with my children so that they

121
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: don't get jammed up on Instagram? You know what I mean?

122
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: Just those those those real world, everyday things, because you know,

123
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 1: technology is everywhere we look, It's infused into all of

124
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: our daily lives. It changes constantly. So I try to

125
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: be the person that keeps up with it so that

126
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: you don't have to. Well, you do a fantastic job

127
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: of First of all, let's faith. The reason I excited

128
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: me about bringing on the show the first time was

129
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: a similar path. You know, I worked at IBM. Then

130
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: I woke up one day and I want you to

131
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: know something. I want to go tell jokes. I want

132
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: to be a comedian, wanted something else. But it was

133
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: a lot of fear tied to that same thing with you.

134
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: You've been a Lockeed engineer, Okay, you know that's that's

135
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: the career Lockkeeed, an engineered Lockkeeed. That's where you want

136
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: to be. You know, that's where you want to be.

137
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: And so how did you And just listen for my

138
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: listeners and people who are viewing us, on moneyment on Facebook? What? What? What?

139
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: What enabled you to make that decision that I was ready,

140
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: that you were ready God? Because I wasn't ready, but

141
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: God was ready. Uh So when when when he called?

142
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: I answered? And I did have a plan. So when

143
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: when I made the decision that you know what, this

144
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: is not for me, I want to go out here

145
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: and try to do this other thing, I did come

146
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: up with a plan, and it took me. It took

147
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 1: me about two years to actually leave. From the time

148
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: I decided to leave to actually walking out the door

149
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: for good. It took like two years because there was

150
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 1: a plan that I had in place where I wanted to, uh,

151
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: you know, rearrange my financial situation, save some money, you

152
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: know that whole thing, get some more of those outside

153
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: gigs under my belt, regular clients. So I knew I

154
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: would be moving into a situation where I already had

155
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,239
Speaker 1: work lined up. So you know, that whole process took

156
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: two years. And but once it was done, you know,

157
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: it was like, all right, well, I've I've met all

158
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: the targets that I said, so now it's time to go.

159
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: And it still was not without a ton of fear.

160
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: You know that that day, um, that that was my

161
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: last day. You know, it was just like it was.

162
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: It was very anxiety written and and and scary. But

163
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: you know, at some point you really do have today

164
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: say it as cliche, but you really do just have

165
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: to step out on faith, you really do. I remember

166
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: when I resigned from my BM, I did a year

167
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: in advance, so because it's it's if you're gonna try

168
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: to do it right, and you gotta, like you said,

169
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: there's faith, but there's also a plant tied to the faith.

170
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, that's the one year and your situated was

171
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: two years, you know. So so I felt my exit

172
00:08:57,559 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: was a little bit quicker to yours because I felt that, hey,

173
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm ann book up these comedy dates and I'm gonna

174
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: go out there and just start telling these jokes. And

175
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: that's what I did. I just book a series of joke.

176
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: I had a manager at the time, and then all

177
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden when I resigned, and all a sudden,

178
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: he decided he's gonna stop managing me. So I was

179
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: so again again, you just never know, there's nothing guaranteed,

180
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: at least a lot of pretty much that was a

181
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: guaranteed check and IBM, that was a guaranteed check. And

182
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: that's why I wanted people to hear that before we

183
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: started getting into the tech. Talk about decisions, decision that

184
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: you make, and people are sitting on the they're sitting

185
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: on the fence right now. I don't like this job.

186
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying I loved IBM, you know, and

187
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure you enjoyed working in a key, but that

188
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: just wasn't you. It just wasn't me. And I and

189
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: I saw or or he showed me what else there

190
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 1: was out there, how I could make a bigger impact,

191
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: help more people. And it's like, once you see it,

192
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: you can't. It's like like the matrix, like once you

193
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: take the red pill, you know what I mean, you can't.

194
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: You can't go back to being you know, in the

195
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 1: dark and and and ignorant about things. So it's like

196
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: once i' so it, it's like, Okay, this is what

197
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: I gotta do. So let's just let's go. Let's go

198
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: and do it. Let's talk about all this technology that

199
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, opening your garage door from your phone. Yeah,

200
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: the Internet of Things as they call it. Okay, okay,

201
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: what when when is too much? Too much? Because listen,

202
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: I don't have any of that stuff in my house

203
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: because it's because of the privacy issues. None of it

204
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: is secure enough for me for my comfort level. None

205
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: of it is secure enough right now to have in

206
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: my house. And it's they're all listening to everything you do.

207
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: When you think about how much information that Amazon Echo

208
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: that Alexa has about you and the fact that it's

209
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: always listening, and there's been so many issues where you

210
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: know it has sent something you said to the wrong

211
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: person because it was capturing your conversation without you knowing

212
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: and different they're just it's just I just don't think

213
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: the technology is uh stable enough uh to ensure my

214
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: privacy and my security in my home. So you should

215
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: know once you have like an Alexa room, you know,

216
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: you just just ruin what Alexa's in. You know there's

217
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: Alexa right and and listening to airy thing. Now, if

218
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: you just wanted to do something, if you just wanted

219
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 1: to do something like you know, by smart lightbulbs and

220
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: and and connect them to your apps so you can

221
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: turn your lights on and off with like something like

222
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: that is not super um risky, but you do want

223
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: to have um like the router that's in your house,

224
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: that the that whoever you have your Internet through. You know,

225
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: they brought that that little box into your house that

226
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: you connect your WiFi. UM, you want to make sure

227
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: that that password is really really strong because that's how

228
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: hackers get into all of those connected devices. Like when

229
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: you hear, especially when you hear about UM connected toys

230
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: especially and those baby monitors and babies room where people

231
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: have hacked those baby monitors and they're like watching your

232
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: kids or listening in on your kids and stuff like that.

233
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: That's because the security of those devices is so um low.

234
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 1: That and then and then the security on your router

235
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: that that has your WiFi, your password on your router

236
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: isn't good, isn't strong, so they it makes it really

237
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: easy for them to get in. So you know, when

238
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: you when you have something like I said, as a

239
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: connected light bulb, maybe a nest thermostat, you know people

240
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: like those thermostats now that you can control, just make

241
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: sure that the password on the router that gives your

242
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: house it's Wi Fi is really really strong. Uh. I

243
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: know we run into closing out the show on time here,

244
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: but I want to share this story. Uh Stephanie UM,

245
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: when I got my arm my camera set on my house.

246
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: They had to go through. The tech guy came by

247
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: and they had to they had to find my house,

248
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, through their system. And he went about, he

249
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: went through by ten homes. That's at you. That's not me, dude.

250
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 1: And I went I saw it like my tent home.

251
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 1: I saw a couple of pocket parking lots, a couple

252
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: of side some stories. So know that when you allow

253
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: people to turn on these cameras, they could come to

254
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: your house and just peeping tom if they want. And

255
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a convenience. We love it, but it's

256
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: but it's it's a risk to It's a risk too,

257
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: and and some people should understand that. So my all,

258
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: my all, my cameras face outside. There's no I don't

259
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: have a camera side of my house. You're not gonna

260
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: see me doing nothing crazy one day, you know, coming

261
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: to the door. Other than that, that's you can't see

262
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: what's happening inside the house outside. That got you unlocked.

263
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: That okay, that's def I think we run it out

264

326
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: was listening to that introduction. But the truth be told

327
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: the the other person that inspires me. Um, you know,

328
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: I remember you probably don't remember for it. At University

329
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: of Houston years ago, I remember, I think you were

330
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: working an off short job of doing something like head

331
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: But you know, I I remember, you know, and and

332
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: Robbie and Mac and you you are already a cute

333
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: and you know, and I was just thinking back. You know,

334
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,640
Speaker 1: if you make up your mind to make it, you've

335
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: got two charges. You can not want nothing and be

336
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: mad at the world for not opening the door, or

337
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: you can make up your mind. And when I watch,

338
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: people don't realize what it took to be you, but

339
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: I know what it took. And I watched what you did.

340
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: And one of the biggest couple of the biggest things

341
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: you taught me, uh up close and from afar is okay,

342
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: let's talk sound good. That it talks sounds good? Now

343
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: what kind of happen? You're gonna put it with it?

344
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: You know, And you gotta get you behind up in

345
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: the morning and walk something, you know, because ain't nobody

346
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: don't give you nothing. And that's true. And you know,

347
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: the thing about it is that first of all, you're talented,

348
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,360
Speaker 1: and first of all you've been consistent, and first of all,

350
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: relationship because you know that's what makes you successful long

351
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: term and a lot of people don't understand that a

352
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: relationship that you know, the old people tell you that

353
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: don't don't mess up up, don't mess up there. You

354
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: might have to come back and say hello, You might

355
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: have to say hi, You might have to drive down

356
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 1: that street again, might have walked through that front do again.

357
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: Don't get kicked out the back because they won't let

358
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: you in the front. No, mo, that's what that's what

359
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: we're having the winning careers and you have a winning career.

360
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: That when I when I talk about motivation that what

361
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: did the reality check doctor come from? Doctor? Uh? Being honest?

362
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: That I was having dinner with the producer from CNN

363
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: in Atlanta and they were, you know, we were we've

364
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 1: been talking to several networks over the last several months

365
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: about where I put what where can I go? That's

366
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: a good fit. And the lady said to me, she said, well,

367
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, we love what you do, but we don't

368
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: know what to call it. I mean, what do we

369
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: call it? And we set there for a minute and

370
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,959
Speaker 1: she said, you know, I've looked at videos a reader

371
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: content she says this, that's like you just give people

372
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: a reality checking right when she said it. The alarm

373
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: went off, and I mean, this is I'm gonna tell

374
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: you all. Don't do what I did. But my country

375
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: behind Rashawn was tempting Daylen mack up under the table.

376
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: I need you to file a trademark registration on the

377
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: Reality Check Doctor, and it's been uh something that would

378
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 1: Now we do have a trademark on it, and uh

379
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 1: you know like that lady said people need to get

380
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 1: you in one sentence and I think that's not a sentence,

381
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,479
Speaker 1: but it's a phrase and it works. I love it.

382
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: But guess what, that's reality of how this business worked.

383
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: Because you put it out in the in the usually

384
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: it's just a space. Now to put it on the internet. Now,

385
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: to put it on social media and it's not trademark

386
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: or copyrighted. Somebody gonna do it now. You know, you

387
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: put a little phrase, it sounds good, you better go

388
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: online and turn that into a domain and on it.

389
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: I remember that it was so funny when Steve Harvey,

390
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: I was producing, I was using this show. He shouted out,

391
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 1: I got my fan club named Steve Harvey Nation. He

392
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: just said Steve Harvey Nation, and I said, Steve Stock,

393
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey nation. That's nameed my fan club before I

394
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:40,120
Speaker 1: was eight, within fifteen minutes of him saying that somebody

395
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 1: bought the domain, and then I said, we want to

396
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: We want a hundred thousand dollars if we wanted to buy. Yeah,

397
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,239
Speaker 1: so we had the name s H Nation. We had

398
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: to call it s H Nation because somebody bought Steve

399
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,239
Speaker 1: Harvy Nation. So so don't say country when you talk

400
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: about us under the table typing texting. Jay Len was

401
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: a renowned trademark lawyer, and uh, that only does all

402
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,360
Speaker 1: my trademarks. She's outstanding. She wrote a book on trademarks,

403
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: and so she's a person that you should go to

404
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: if you're doing it. You know, you gotta tell people

405
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: these relationships because every trademark I ever did with Steve Harvey,

406
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: I did it through Jay learning Mac And so when

407
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: he was talking about under the table texting and now

408
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: he says, hey, our own reality check doctor, that's how

409
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: you have to do it. I'm just letting you know,

410
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: don't let it. Don't don't don't act like that's a joke,

411
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 1: and that don't don't say it's a country or it's

412
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 1: a business, and people will take away your dreams if

413
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: you don't control them and put them in place on

414
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: the right, on the right style. Now, when they said

415
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: provocative teaching style, what does that mean, Dr Young? Well,

416
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: being honest, man, I think that there's a lot of

417
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: there's a lot of bs out there. And when I

418
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 1: say bs, I mean with the bull left in the barnyard.

419
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 1: And these people come out with all of these uh

420
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: catch phrases, name it and claim it the law of

421
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: attraction if you just visualize it, well, you visualize all

422
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,719
Speaker 1: you don't day longs, you don't get off your button,

423
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: you know. And and then many of us we are

424
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: so good at lying to not other people, even sometimes

425
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 1: we allow to ourselves to them. Much so if you

426
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: continue not being said the reality of of what it

427
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: takes to make it, you know, like this show money

428
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: making Conversations, That's just what this is. It's a money

429
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: making conversation. And when I talk to people, and well,

430
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: I don't care if it's a Ted talker, if my

431
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: best Ted talks of me just sitting up talking to

432
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: her brother or sister one on one at an airport,

433
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: in a gym or whatever. But the one thing that

434
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: I wise people need is the truth. And when somebody

435
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 1: tells you. I remember you said this is Steve said

436
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: this in an interview one day, both of you that

437
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: you know, if you tell somebody you're an actor and

438
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: they said, well, where are you performing and you say nowhere,

439
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: You're got no dog actor, you're lying. I mean, okay

440
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: with Steve stated, but I know for a fact, man,

441
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: that is if you don't have someone telling you you

442
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 1: know what, man, you can't sing, you might be able

443
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: to write some lyrics. Damn saying no singer. You may

444
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: be great at writing a screw, but you're not no actor.

445
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: And that's what I try to do in my practice

446
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: and in my speaking is to get people to pull

447
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: their heads out there butts and realize that if you're

448
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: gonna make it out here, and especially in America or

449
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: in the UK, or you know, anywhere on North American condent,

450
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: you better bring it. And by being honest, transparent and authentic.

451
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 1: But more than anything else, I practice what I preach.

452
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: That's what I mean by giving someone an unfettered conversation.

453
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: I'm Jason. You're listening to the Reality check doctor. That's

454
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: Dr d Ivan Young. Are the Houston Texas um one

455
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: of the true uh When I listen to listen to it,

456
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: I always feel like I listening to Dr Field. Here's

457
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 1: that Dr Field type tone. And I know that a

458
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,200
Speaker 1: talk show has to be any work. Come on, now,

459
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,280
Speaker 1: I saw you standing next to uh buying Allen in

460
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: the photo on social media? It can you can you

461
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: reveal anything to his doctor? Well, I can just say this,

462
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: I'm very fortunate to have a guy named David Pozi

463
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: who is taking an interest in me. Uh. And and

464
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: I think it was Byron Pits. I want to meet

465
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 1: Byron Allen. So you're being prophetic because Jayleen and I

466
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: were talking about Byron Allen yesterday, but you know it

467
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 1: was Byron Pits I think from ABC's Nightline p anchor.

468
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, we're talking to

469
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 1: those guys. Uh. My publicist is talking to some people

470
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: out in Hollywood. At the end of the day. Our

471
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: number one goal is I need I would. I need

472
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: to be somewhere where they're not gonna totally tell me

473
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: what to do, and they're they're not gonna do a

474
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: bamboozled thing with my content. Where one thing I've learned

475
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: from you is remained true to your brand. So I'm

476
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: not gonna do. I'm not gonna mention this person's name,

477
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna do something. What's wrong And you're

478
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: crying and I made you trying. Now you're gonna be

479
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: better type show. Anything that we're gonna do, it's gonna

480
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: be transformational, it's gonna be real, and it's gonna be

481
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: relatable to the American public. If we can't do it

482
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: that way and maintain the integrity, I'll just wait because

483
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: God's gonna open the right door. I don't want to

484
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:44,960

561
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: down there doing her thing. You know, how did you

562
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: guys meet? First of all, let's get to the relationship,

563
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: because it's a relationship that started with a friendship. There

564
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: now as a business relationship, and it's always interested. I

565
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: remember when I had my comedy club, I had family,

566
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: and when you're working with friends and families, always a

567
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: dynamic that can be great or as a dynamic be

568
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: a struggle. In this situation has been very successful. How

569
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: did you two meet? Sure? Well, it was about seven

570
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: years ago. We met at a sorority meeting. We are

571
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: both a K and yeah, yeah, so that at a

572
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: graduate chapter meeting and at the time we were just

573
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, we were looking for a girlfriend that was

574
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: interested in um, maybe happy hour or something, and it

575
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: turns from a social just like let's need to a

576
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: friendship to travel partners, and that blossoms and to best

577
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 1: friends and then that turned into this now this new

578
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 1: business partnership. Now, okay, first of all, I love the

579
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: fact for something memorial, make sci fi. That's why I

580
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: just dove right on it with just key week, you know,

581
00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 1: thinking I had to go and let you guys know,

582
00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: I know, I know the lingo yea, And so it's

583
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 1: it's great because like I said that that sorority or

584
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: fraternal relationship can create that initial bond. You have a

585
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: similar call, a similar passion. You're about to community. You're

586
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: about uh a certain everybody, every certain type of people.

587
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: Pledge organizations usually leads to a professional lifestyle to have

588
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: a level of academic accomplimation in college. Because everybody just

589
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: can't pledge. We need to get that cleared up to everybody.

590
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: You just can't walk up to I want to be

591
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: a member of a K eight, you can't do that.

592
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: And so so so, like I said, it initially started

593
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 1: out to be in a social opportunity. What did what

594
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 1: did the business aspect take off? Was it just to

595
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 1: like minded, like minded individuals coming together I think Kimberly

596
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: actually brought up the partnership initially, but we both kind

597
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: of had similar ideas and started talking about our ideas together.

598
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: Kim started a business online catering towards women of color

599
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: featuring beauty products, and I had always wanted to start

600
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: a natural hair product store where women could go in

601
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: person and get products in store and get information and

602
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: get community and learn about their hair. Together and then

603
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: sort of chatting about our separate businesses, we realized, oh,

604
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,479
Speaker 1: this might actually make more sense together um. And I

605
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: think Kim has talked about this before and other interviews.

606
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: A lot of entrepreneurs think, oh, I'll just go it alone.

607
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: I've got this great idea, I'll do it by myself.

608
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,719
Speaker 1: I'll figure it out, and they don't realize that they

609
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: might have a resource in partnering with somebody else who

610
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: has a similar idea, who's like minded, who can also

611
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: share the burden and also share the financing um and

612
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 1: also share the idea and creation of the business and

613
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 1: so UM. I think Kim sort of generated the conversation,

614
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: but when she mentioned it, I was like, Okay, that

615
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 1: would make sense. And frankly, we're two businesses and one,

616
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: so we also split the rent. So about when people

617
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: is important. You know, retail is very expensive to get

618
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,040
Speaker 1: into a storefront, and so thinking about whether or not

619
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: you can partner with somebody will help. UM will help

620
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: with finances as well, and so uh, we just combined

621
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: ideas and you know, lo and behold. We started in

622
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: March of last year thinking about it, and by December

623
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: we opened our own business. I'm gonna tell you something.

624
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 1: Let me just give a little history on me and

625
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: haircare women haircare because I started a hair caroline I

626
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: thought I could. It was called Perfect Hair and and

627
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: so I jumped out there with with the hairpieces Brazilian

628
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 1: and uh, I thought that, hey, I'm popular, I got

629
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: a popular brand. I should be able to sell. And

630
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: we did sell, but it just didn't. It just didn't involved.

631
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: And I want to say that because I felt that

632
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: because we didn't have the relationship. And that's why I

633
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,320
Speaker 1: wanted to bring UM YouTube on the on the phone

634
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: and talk about that relationship. Because I thought I had

635
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: to model for success. I had the top hand to

636
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: be able to talk about it. I had the finances

637
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: to be able to fund it, and I brought in

638
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: the top manager to manage it, but it was something

639
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: missing in there. And then you said every Shan she

640
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 1: had the background and it was all right to split.

641
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: But also you guys had a common thought because this

642
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: also was a path ship project. Correct. Yeah, yeah, and

643
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: I were mentioned everything that you had. I'm like that

644
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,959
Speaker 1: we didn't have any of those things for the most part.

645
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: But but what we did have and what we do

646
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,600
Speaker 1: have that you were hit the nail on the head,

647
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: is that passion. Um, we're approaching us, you know one

648
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 1: as business on us, but we're also approaching it as consumers.

649
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: What is it that we want to see? And what

650
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: did we what we're not seeing in the market that

651
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: we knew ourselves, women that we know, women that we

652
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: come across, what is it that they were wanting? And

653
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: as we were creating what this store was going to be,

654
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: we realized that we needed it to be more than

655
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:40,759
Speaker 1: just a retail space. It really needed to be a

656
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: community space, a space where we are supporting other businesses.

657
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: But we really brought our passion and consumers. We brought

658
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: that to the forefront. Yeah. Because it was just money

659
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: to me, you know, it was about seeing the opportunity

660
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: to make money and I were just telling you not

661
00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: really understanding the brand, not really understanding the little things

662
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: so that motivate women, to motivate put that your buyers

663
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,319
Speaker 1: to extend beyond. Just because it was the online you know,

664
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,400
Speaker 1: So we were online so we didn't have to we

665
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: didn't open the store and anything. So I got a

666
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 1: got a great website built out that we were ready.

667
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to point that out the individuals

668
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 1: who listened to the shows that you can have all

669
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: those tools, all those elements in place, but if you

670
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: don't do the homework and you don't have the passion,

671
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: it can equally fold up just as quickly as it

672
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 1: was launched. True. Yeah, I think that's really right. And

673
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, every day that I'm in

674
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,919
Speaker 1: the store, I love being in the store, Like I'm

675
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: almost like as bad as a consumer in my own store. Myself.

676
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: I try to prevent prevent myself from shopping in my

677
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:50,720
Speaker 1: own store because I just I just have fun in there.

678
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: UM And I think we created an experience that we

679
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,840
Speaker 1: always wanted to have. UM And we both really love beauty,

680
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: and so it's not a hard dream and it's not

681
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: a hard hard thing for us to do because it's

682
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: something that we really both enjoy and that makes it

683
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: that makes it that much easier. So basically built this

684
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,360
Speaker 1: on what you want, you know, this is what I

685
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: want to experience when I walk in the store, and

686
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: that's missing correct. Oh yes, yes, yes, I mean it's

687
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: almost sounds kind of selfish, but yes, like what we

688
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 1: want to see, you know, and like this earlier when

689
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,959
Speaker 1: she comes and she's so excited, I'm the same way too.

690
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,440
Speaker 1: So when I'm looking around, I'm just I want to

691
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: shop there, Like I use everything that's in that store.

692
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: We personally use it as well. So this isn't and

693
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: that's another difference. This is not a store where it

694
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: is where there's a disconnect, where we're selling products that

695
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:43,239
Speaker 1: we don't need ourselves, Like we use these products, and

696
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: when you come in and ask questions, we're giving you

697
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: a response based on our personal experience and our personal

698
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: love for the products and the brand and the people

699
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,920
Speaker 1: behind the brand. We are very intentional on the brands

700
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: that we choose because we we we connect to the

701
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: brand stories and we connect to the Brown founders, so

702
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: that is important to us as well. This is really

703
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: a three sixty approach to the business. It's about the consumer.

704
00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:10,320
Speaker 1: It's about us as the business owners, but it's awful

705
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,480
Speaker 1: about the brand owners that we are featuring as well.

706
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: So that's really keeping those dollars, you know, circulating and

707
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: recycling in the black community because we're doing it. Coach

708
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: to it. Let me issue this. So when you're doing

709
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 1: these demos, do you ever do Facebook live or periscope

00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: when you're doing these demos in your stores? Yeah? So

798
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,280

799
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,880

823
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: five years, that means you went through a lot of

824
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: different you know, the Afro, the bridge, the soft Sheen

Speaker 1: look exact that dominated. So what's what style now? The

826
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:16,319
Speaker 1: natural style that's the dominant tone. Even though you know

827
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:18,839
Speaker 1: people still out there getting perms and getting their hair straight.

828
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 1: What what? What? What's happening now there in the world

829
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 1: of hair in the world here. Now you know, it's

830
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 1: the natural look, but you know, wigs are the thing now.

831
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: It's like, uh, what's that rapper that I just got

832
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: out of jail? Meek meek milk. You know, he's kind

833
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 1: of complained about the wigs because the women are wearing

834
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: all these lace weeks. These guys don't know that they

835
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 1: have wings on because they look so real, you know.

836
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: So you know when they get him in the in

837
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: the room, in the bedroom, and they start wanting their

838
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: hands in their hair, and then they start feeling this

839
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: glue and all this stuff, and you know, they think,

840
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: oh my god, what is this. So you know, it's

841
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: like it's a lot of when wearing wigs because they're

842
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: very convenient and they look good. They can make them sexy.

843
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,319
Speaker 1: What what made them? What made a transition? Because my

844
00:46:01,400 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 1: mom wore with how it happened? Happened it? Um, you know,

845
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: women have been wearing lace wigs since the thirties, and

846
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 1: I've been actually doing lace weeks in the movie industry

847
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,399
Speaker 1: since the nineties early nineties, and it kind of caught

848
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: on after I think tywer banks and be honestly kind

849
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 1: of let the cat out of the bag because their

850
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:27,360
Speaker 1: their hairstyles put laces wiggs on them and they looked incredible,

851
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,439
Speaker 1: and women want to know, oh my god, a woman

852
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: hair to look like that because it was blowing in

853
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: the wind, you could see scalp and it looked like

854
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: it was going out of this scalp. So they wanted

855
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 1: that and so it created such a demand. So that's

856
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:42,840
Speaker 1: what people want now. And because when you put a

857
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: lace wig on and you glue it on properly, it

858
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,399
Speaker 1: looks like it's going out of your scalp. Okay a male,

859
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: so helping when you say the word glue it on,

860
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 1: well you have to what they do. It comes with

861
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,359
Speaker 1: a very fine lace that you can see through, and

862
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 1: they take one hair at a time and they when

863
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 1: they do what you call ventilate. If we ventilate the

864
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: hair through that lace so that it matches your skin tone,

865
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 1: they died and they died to look at your skin toe.

866
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: So when you when we glue it, it's a clear

867
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 1: glue and it dries and it clear. It's clear and

868
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: it and it's like it looks like your skin. So

869
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: when we when we glue it to your like forehead,

870
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: it looks like it's hair growing out of your skin,

871
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: so it's it just mimics your skin and hair, so

872
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,239
Speaker 1: it looks like like like you might have gotten hair.

873
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,240
Speaker 1: Well you don't have. If you got and don't have edges,

874
00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 1: you can you can just have edges. Now, my next

875
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: courtion will be can you wear that? Usually it was

876
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,880
Speaker 1: designed to wear it like put it on, take it

877
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: off in the movie industry, but with the commercial success

878
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: of these wigs, they've gotten so many different glues that

879
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,719
Speaker 1: you can wear it for a week to two weeks

880
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:53,279
Speaker 1: without taking it off. Now because they've made they've made

881
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: better glues. They've got adhesives that that doesn't damage your's

882
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: your skin and your hair and it doesn't you know,

883
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:04,879
Speaker 1: they've they've made make better goose surgical adhesives that will

884
00:48:04,920 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: hold for like two weeks, and you just take it off,

885
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: you know, go to the salon, have it removed, have

886
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 1: your wig, shampoo clean the wig, have it reglued, and

887
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 1: you set for another two weeks. We'll tell us about

888
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:20,720
Speaker 1: your wig collection. Okay, cool, Well you know my weird collection.

889
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,239
Speaker 1: What I did? I mean, everybody's doing wigs but you know,

890
00:48:24,280 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: I wanted to do wigs that were, um going to

891
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: be custom, and um, I like to do wigs that

892
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: are custom hairline because sometimes the hairline on on the

893
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 1: wigs that manufacturers make, they don't match our hairlines. They're

894
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: sometimes they're like really straight hairlines, and they don't look real. Uh,

895
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 1: they don't have widow speaks, they don't have the temple

896
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 1: area is not matching, and certain things that these little nuances,

897
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: it makes it not look real. And I I like,

898
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: I like hair to look real. And so a lot

899
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: of times what I do with some of my wigs is, um,

900
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: I will eventually late uh kinky hair around the edges.

901
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 1: And what I do is because you know, nobody's hairs

902
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 1: bones straight, especially I especially black women. You know, they

903
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: got they got edges and well it's baby hair or

904
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: some of them, but some of them got edges. Now

905
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 1: you know some of these women got edges. They got

906
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 1: they got that who makes you stuff? You know, it's

907
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,880
Speaker 1: like jack, So you know you gotta you gotta do

908
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: with that. And they have a lot of kinky textures.

909
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: You know, some of these women got these kinky textures

910
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,360
Speaker 1: and they want to put this European hairy and it

911
00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: doesn't match. So I like using different textures, like using

912
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,480
Speaker 1: the kinky texture, like put kinky edges in, And what

913
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: I do is I put them in, but I used

914
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 1: the pressing home to press them, so it makes it

915
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 1: look real there. So that's that's that's that's where I do.

916
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: That almost feels custom. It is custom. So when you

917
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 1: get those kinky edges and you put that presson home on,

918
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's gonna look like, okay, it looks like

919
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 1: your edges. You ain't gotta do the baby hand okay,

920
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,399
Speaker 1: because it's gonna look like you're real edges. And if

921
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 1: you start to perspire them things, they're gonna start kicking

922
00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: out like you you know, it really takes it to

923
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: another level. It makes it look more authentic. That's that's

924
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:09,880
Speaker 1: a vision. Okay. Now when when when you ever you

925
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 1: start a vision, people always question, why are you gonna

926
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: do that? Just what everybody else is doing? How did

927
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: you walk through that? Well? You know what, it's just
