1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 1: So this just made me think about something because he 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: put a post up yesterday. So you have the top 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: eighty one billionaires in the world have more wealth than 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: fifty percent of the world's population. Combind, that's four point 5 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: six billion people. So eighty one people have more wealth 6 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: than four point six billion people. We already know that 7 00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is planning civilization on Mars. We just covered 8 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: that Mark Zuckerberg and his wife planning to eradicate all 9 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: human diseases by the year two thousand and one hundred 10 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: by using artificial intelligence, and we talked about potential technology 11 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: to make humans immortal. So it's pretty amazing and discouraging 12 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: when I go on social media and what I see 13 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:08,400 Speaker 1: is debates about fantasy football, said rapper having beef with 14 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: said rappers husband, food debates, fashion debates, and a bunch 15 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:22,639 Speaker 1: of other random nonsense that has no real significance in life. 16 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 1: And this is happening in real time right in front 17 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 1: of you, and you're being consumed with so much nonsense 18 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: that you don't even even have any concerns or cares 19 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: about it at all. And it's like robbing a bank 20 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: right in front of you. You don't even have to 21 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: actually hide things. It's done in plain sight when you're 22 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: looking at that. This is things that are changing the 23 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: way that the world will operate and directly affect every 24 00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: single human being that's living on planet Earth. And the 25 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: vast majority of people are concerned with such unimportant things. 26 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 1: They wouldn't even register on any of these things that 27 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: I just talked about levels. So when you're looking at 28 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: your life and you're not where you want to be, well, 29 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: that's the reason. Because you're making conscious decisions to consume 30 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: things that are taking you away from any level of productivity, 31 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 1: and you're staying there, and it's being done on purpose, 32 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: And everybody should be embarrassed, the people that are doing 33 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: it on the media side, the people that are actually 34 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: producing the content should be embarrassed, and the people that's 35 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: consuming the content should be embarrassed. It's like going back 36 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: to say, Okay, well there's so much alcohol in the hood, 37 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,799 Speaker 1: Well who made you drink alcohol? You're still making a 38 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: conscious decision. We already know that the cards are stacked 39 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: against us. So when you make a decision to consume 40 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: this content, that's a decision that you're making because there 41 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: are alternatives. You're watching an alternative right now. But unfortunately, 42 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: we're never going to have the same level of viewership 43 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: or interest as any of those things that I just mentioned. 44 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: So at some point you have to take self accountability 45 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: and realize that as the world changes, and as we 46 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: enter a new world you can call it a new world, 47 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: orthough you could just call it a new world, you 48 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: will you will be a digital slave, and this time 49 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: your slavery will be voluntary. You signed up for it, 50 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: and you gave no fight, and you will continue to 51 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: stay at the same level that you're at, potentially even worse. 52 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 1: Your children also, And that's the decision that you have 53 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: to make. Are you comfortable with this or do you 54 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: want better. 55 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 2: Choice? 56 00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: The choices you choices. 57 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 4: Let me piggyback off that Tesla doesn't talk with Saudi 58 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 4: Arabia to open a new factory in their country. Shout 59 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 4: out to Jamie Dimond. JP Morgan CEO says that it 60 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 4: is a huge mistake to think the economy would boom 61 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,840 Speaker 4: anytime soon. This is probably one of the greatest bankers 62 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 4: since James Pierpont Morgan, who the firm is named after, 63 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 4: is telling you the truth. National debt is study three 64 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 4: trillion the US government spending that represents about twenty five 65 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 4: percent of GDP. Credit card losses are rising at the 66 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 4: fastest rate since two thousand and eight, and there have 67 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 4: been one hundred and sixteen IPOs on a US stock 68 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 4: market in twenty twenty three, twenty seven percent less than 69 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 4: the same time in twenty twenty two, and most of 70 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 4: them are trash. The trash part was my audition. We 71 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,119 Speaker 4: have to focus on the parts that really matter. 72 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 3: Arm Greate. 73 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 4: Kudos to Rashan for being involved in instacart. Instacart and 74 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 4: Walmart expects sixty five percent of their stores to be 75 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 4: automated by twenty twenty six. I don't care what Sexy 76 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 4: said back to even you. 77 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 5: Know, I don't care what you got to watch from 78 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 5: Like who's sing? 79 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 4: Even another leather jacket. Let's talk about the rant era 80 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 4: all that I hate. I had it had to even 81 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 4: do that to get y'all to watch this information. People 82 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 4: like he don't know Crypto. I know I've been financially 83 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 4: free since twenty fifteen. You can ask my mom dad 84 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 4: when I was broke.

And I keep pointing us out 89 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 4: to every shop at the math hop I'm going on 90 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 4: this week.

But I keep asking that 94 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 4: question to tell you that having beef in the media 95 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 4: does not pay you.

That takes two. 100 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 4: If I got one hundred million views, I want three 101 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 4: hundred million. But watch how YouTube after the strike is 102 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 4: fixed with the writers, YouTube ends up being the biggest 103 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 4: movie producer in the next ten years.

This is why it's so 129 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: sought after. So it can never compete with sports, to coignefic, 130 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: compete with entertainment or celebrity gossip. 131 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 3: It's just it's impossible. 132 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: It's amazing that you know, he even was able to 133 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: reach this level and still going. But you know, at 134 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 1: some point in time, you gotta take self accountability. Like 135 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: I said, we we can blame other people, and other 136 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: people are responsible for a variety of different things historically 137 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: and currently, but ultimately self accountability has to be had, 138 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:34,240 Speaker 1: has to And it's like, if you are in a 139 00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 1: position where you're an adult and you're indulging in these 140 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: type of mindless entertainment over and over again, it's going 141 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: to have an effect on your life. It's impossible for 142 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: it not to. Like, it's impossible for you to know 143 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: every single thing that's happening on Shape Room, on Academics, 144 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 1: on Hollywood and lock and shout out to all of 145 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: those people teams. But I'm just saying, it's just impossible 146 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,320 Speaker 1: for you to know every single thing that's happening and. 147 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: Still be at a highly productive level. 148 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: It's impossible because I know billionaires, and I don't know 149 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: any billion and that knows any of this stuff that's happening. 150 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 3: So you can't, you can't. 151 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 4: You can't negative on it. 152 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: It is I've never I've never heard Mark Cuban talk 153 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: about Cardi b and Nicki Minaja's beef.

Those these are conversations that 160 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: I've actually heard. So I just say, you don't have 161 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: to have the aspiration of being a billionaire, but these 162 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: are have They're not done by accident.

It's it's not beneficial to your life. 174 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 1: But they programmed us to look at somebody else's struggle 175 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: as entertainment and even even like even like this rat 176 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: beef and different than that's somebody else's that's a real 177 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: life conflict. That's a struggle that somebody has, whether they 178 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: haven't gotten emotionally atchured enough to know how to handle 179 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: themselves else publicly, or know how to actually deal with 180 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: their emotional intelligence. But regardless, these are real problems, and 181 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: we look at problems as entertainment. Blue facing his baby 182 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,440 Speaker 1: mom and the kid like this, keeping problems have become 183 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: our entertainment. 184 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 5: That was kind of the premise of the mental health conversation, 185 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 5: and it's it is that you're talking about because they 186 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 5: were saying we capitalize on struggle, but nobody talks about solutions. 187 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 5: In fact, when solutions are made and solutions are highlighted, 188 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 5: everybody does them. Down or push them to the side. 189 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 5: We're not really trying to hear that. And so when 190 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 5: you talk about the mental effect that that has on you, 191 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 5: consistently imagine if you're born into that. And a lot 192 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 5: of us are like those things that you're speaking of, 193 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 5: like going down the rabbit hole on YouTube. But like 194 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 5: I can say, we're guilty of it, everybody, right, Like 195 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 5: this is the culture that we But there comes a 196 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 5: point in time and I guess a growth inside of 197 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 5: somebody that you realize that what am I doing, how 198 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 5: is this beneficial? 199 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: And what can I do with my time other than 200 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: in this And once you. 201 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 5: Figure that part out, then these things become more entertainment 202 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 5: for you, like market money becomes more entertainment. Leader these 203 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 5: type of things that provide information that can actually change 204 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 5: your daily life, that becomes more entertain But everybody doesn't 205 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 5: get there, and everybody's not gonna get there at the 206 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 5: same time, and some people may never get there, but 207 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 5: the people who do, we got to make sure that 208 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 5: they get the information. 209 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:22,439 Speaker 2: At the highest level. 210 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 3: People have PhDs in gossip. 211 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 4: That's a fact that's funny as hell, but true. 212 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,479 Speaker 1: An abundance of street credibility will only leave you bankrupt financially. 213 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: I've never met anybody that was able to cash in 214 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: any level of street credibility. So it's like, it's not transferable. 215 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 4: That's a good quote. 216 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: Any financial institution. It's not transferable. It's just not nowhere. 217 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: It's really not. It's not it's only going. 218 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 2: To leave you bankrupt. They might get you a section 219 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 2: in the club. 220 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 3: That's going to leave you bankrupt. So it's just, you know, 221 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 3: once again, I just think that. 222 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm going to cut you off, but I'm learning 223 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,720 Speaker 4: to guess what they're gonna say so we can respond 224 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 4: to it in advance. What do you say to all 225 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 4: the people? But when you guys entertained rappers who promote 226 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 4: this culture, and YadA YadA, and that's why, and that's why, 227 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 4: thank you. We have to have to, we have to. 228 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 4: This is only the Wu Tang has one of the 229 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 4: best line. 230 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: I think it was the he said mostly the dumb 231 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,439 Speaker 1: are intrigued by the drum. So what he's saying by that, 232 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: you know, people always say like nas got bad beats. 233 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: I never listened to rap music. 234 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 4: For beats the lyrics. 235 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: I only listen for lyrics. But I understand what he 236 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: was saying. At least that's why he said, mostly the 237 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: dumb is intrigued by the drum. So once we started 238 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: getting to the era of beats, that's when hip hop 239 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: really changed. So now I'm just saying as far as 240 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 1: like when you go, I'm gonna when the beat overpowered 241 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 1: the lyrics. Beat is important part of the song, for sure, 242 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: but the lyrics was always the most important part. When 243 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: the beat became the most important part, this is when 244 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: mumble rap comes. 245 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 3: You don't have to rap. You could just say anything. 246 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: You just ride the beat or to be So what 247 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying is that now we're in a situation where yeah, 248 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: we can't fight against a fire with a water gun. 249 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 3: It's it's it's just a certain level of intelligence. We 250 00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 3: have to we have to provide the entertainment for you 251 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,199 Speaker 3: because if not, you're not gonna listen. 252 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,559 Speaker 5: Then it's education inside of the entertainment. And that's why 253 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,960 Speaker 5: it's called editate entertainment. Yeah, that was crazy. Master Kila 254 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 5: on Triumphs he said that that's the first time you 255 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 5: can't quote it them. 256 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: You can't feed a baby steak, can't feed the baby 257 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 1: steak either. It's you actually end up killing the baby. 258 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: This is this is wisdom and understanding that there's growth 259 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: and maturation. So we're still immature as people. We have 260 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: we have, we have a long way to growing to 261 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: being mature. So when when a baby is born, you 262 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: you don't feed it solid foods. 263 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 3: You have to feed it apple sauce. You have to 264 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 3: feed it, you know, milk. 265 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 2: They're gonna be like, no, you can't feed that. 266 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 1: I'm just saying an infant. I know that over the 267 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: course of time. Now this is just serious conversation us. I mean, 268 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: you got to have a certain level of maturity to 269 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: even understand, like, you got to be able. If you're 270 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: immature enough to do that, then you shouldn't be listening. 271 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 1: So you have to have a certain around of maturity 272 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: to even understand what I'm saying. So, it takes time 273 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: for a baby to grow into a toddler. It takes 274 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: time for the toddler to grow into a child. It 275 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: takes time for the child to grow into a teenager, 276 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: and it takes time for the teenagers to grow into 277 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: a young adult. It takes time for the young adult 278 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: to grow into an adult, and it takes time for 279 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: the adult to grow into a wise person. If you 280 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: try to force that growth too early, then you'll end 281 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: up pertingal. You're in the personal. If you try to 282 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: feed a baby stack, you gonna in the pertenalm if 283 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: you're if you try to make a five year old 284 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: drive a car, you're gonna end up pertnalm. If you 285 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: try to make a twelve year old go out in 286 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: the world and fin for himself, you're gonna end up 287 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: pertn them. So as you're as a leader, it's your 288 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: responsibility to make sure that you're guiding people in the 289 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: right direction over the course of time in ways that 290 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: they can understand, in the language that they can understand, 291 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: and the speed that they can actually keep up with, 292 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: if not in what we're doing it for. 293 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, but the thing is that we don't have time. 294 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 3: Well all we have. Only thing that we have is time. 295 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: Because if you look at it, it's like we had 296 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: the conversation with Diddy and he's like, Yo, we gotta 297 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 1: make rapid change and give them different things. And he's like, yo, 298 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: that's not that's not quick enough. Well we got in 299 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: this situation. This is this isn't even four hundred years slavery. 300 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: They said four hundred Yet This is actually even longer 301 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 1: than that. When you look at the fall of Africa 302 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: from him all the way to Mali. These is thousands 303 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 1: of a year. This white supremacy has been in rule 304 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: for thousands of years. Yeah, right, So this is something 305 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: that unfortunately you can't You can't reverse something like that 306 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: in one year for five years. This is why when 307 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg has one hundred year plan, this is important. 308 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: When CEOs of Japan looking at three or five hundred 309 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 1: year plans for that company, that's important. Unfortunately, we are 310 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: always only thinking about tomorrow and our long term planning 311 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: is next year. 312 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 3: Like Friday, that's our long term planning. You know what 313 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 3: I'm saying. 314 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 1: But that's not that's not a formula that's sustainable. That 315 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 1: might be, that might be beneficial for individual person, but 316 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: when you look at a collective, we have some we 317 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: can't even agree on one particular issue, Like there's not 318 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: one issue that as a collective Black people really agree 319 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: even even reparations people can't even agree on that. 320 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 2: And that analogy this is important. 321 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 5: So in that analogy, where would you say that we're 322 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,360 Speaker 5: at Are we still in the infancy stage or are 323 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 5: we looking at our compartmental lives. And what we're saying, 324 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 5: this financial revolution is at the infancy stage or as 325 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,360 Speaker 5: I shouldn't say Black. 326 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 2: Culture, but our community. Where would you say that we're at. 327 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 5: I guess that over the last decade that would be 328 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 5: fair honestly, Yeah, where we are. 329 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: What you gotta do think we got to be in 330 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 1: the infancy stage. We just had the rights to vote 331 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: sixty years ago. Like we technically wasn't even as equal 332 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:06,120 Speaker 1: human beings in this country until recently. So we are 333 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: just now learning about this financial literacy information that we're providing. 334 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: It's so revolutionary because the vast majority of people have 335 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: never even they don't even know anything about it. 336 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 3: You never knew about stocks or real estate or let 337 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 3: alone private equity, venture capital, so. 338 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 5: You know what, you know what's interesting. I'm just going 339 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 5: to add to this point of what you're saying is 340 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 5: very important. The higher we go and the more people 341 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 5: that we meet, let's say up stature and of certain 342 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:35,239 Speaker 5: levels of financial freedom, the less knowledge. There's something at 343 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 5: the top that have the knowledge. But as we go 344 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 5: with meeting people, and I never knew what that was. 345 00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 5: I never knew what that was. I had no idea 346 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 5: Thank you guys. That's why you guys are so important. 347 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 5: So it's even interesting as we come because I know 348 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,120 Speaker 5: that's something Even in the financial planning world. I would 349 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,280 Speaker 5: meet people of a certain level intelligence, you would think, oh, 350 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 5: they should know that, but their discipline is not in finance. 351 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 5: Their discipline is in health or it's in medicine, and 352 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 5: they didn't have the discipline to know what finances. And 353 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 5: so the higher we climb, we're starting to see like 354 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,399 Speaker 5: this thing is really something that's been absent from a 355 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 5: lot of different disciplines. 356 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 2: So I've got that I want to. 357 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: Be fifty year plan They gotta be at least a 358 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: fifty year planning. This is why it's like, are you 359 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: start with education? Like you got to understand too. I 360 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,920 Speaker 1: think Frederick Douglass said it's a lot easier to train 361 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm paraphrasing it's a lot easier to build strong boys 362 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 1: than to rebuild program men. So and that goes for 363 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: men or women, but I'm just that's what he said. 364 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,919 Speaker 1: So it's you got to start all right now if 365 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: we implement this program and it starts with somebody that's 366 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: five years old now, because even the problem with the 367 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: five year role is that even if their parents are 368 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 1: going to be negative influences. So you got to really 369 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: it's a whole generation that has to of negativity that 370 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 1: has to be replaced before our next generation can even 371 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: get in a position to teach their children. 372 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 5: So this is this becomes the new compounded interests. Right 373 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 5: where we look at the time the information is now 374 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 5: the rate that we got to look at, Right, they 375 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 5: get it at five, at ten, they but then there's 376 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,360 Speaker 5: a generation that they're going to learn even faster. Yeah, 377 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 5: in a sense, that is the compounded interest of the future. 378 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 4: But in the investment, you gotta look to threats. Like 379 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 4: if she wouldn't have came on, most people wouldn't even 380 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 4: known that they're actively fighting. So even when when I 381 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 4: bring up the rants and stuff, like I tell people 382 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 4: all the time, like there's a reason for AI to 383 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 4: get your attention, but there's a message I'm trying to 384 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 4: also sneak in even when they have to the conversation 385 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 4: about diversity inclusion. And that's why I'll shout out to 386 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 4: the cole I to been with JP Morgan next month. 387 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 2: I believe. 388 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 4: There's a lot of interest in US post George Floyd. 389 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 4: But now that that has been eradicated. I've had a 390 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 4: couple of talks with some companies and they're like, hey, 391 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 4: that was the first thing that got cut, especially with 392 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 4: Marcus turnaround, the marketing budget and diversity inclusion. Well, let's 393 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 4: do the hell with that. The only part that troubles 394 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,479 Speaker 4: me is that while we are slow to get off 395 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,840 Speaker 4: the blocks, those that don't want us to have this information, 396 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 4: they're moving really, really really fast to make sure that 397 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 4: we don't have it really fast. Gotta move faster, And 398 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 4: this is always my point. I never have to tell 399 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 4: a guy get the courage to go talk to a girl, 400 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 4: go By balenci yaka go By. I never have to 401 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:18,640 Speaker 4: push that Nike shit company right now. Infiflation goes up 402 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,600 Speaker 4: and consumers have less suspend, it won't be a great stock. 403 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 4: I don't want to keep talking about the same seven 404 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 4: eight companies, but there is a reason why. So I'm 405 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 4: gonna be honest and say we have to move faster. 406 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 4: Because when I woke up and saw that Charlemagne and 407 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 4: Drake post, I saw thousands of comments of commentary and 408 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 4: people are right think pieces. And you're not monetizing and 409 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 4: making no money. 410 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 2: You're obsessed with me, bro. 411 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:46,360 Speaker 4: Bro. 412 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 3: I mean, but once again, that's their personal thing that 413 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 3: they have going on. 414 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 4: But why, but why is everybody commenting so much headline? 415 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 3: Why is that a headline of trending topic? 416 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 5: And what can you do? And it's going to court tomorrow, 417 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 5: Let's talk about that. Yes, let's talk about that. 418 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: I mean, we could just it's human species. Is it 419 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,440 Speaker 1: always meant for a select group of people to have knowledge, 420 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: wisn'm to understanding and then the masses of people just 421 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: to be ignorant. That's how That's how it always has 422 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 1: been throughout human civilization. So I think that you might 423 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 1: get frustrated when you're trying to uplift the masses and 424 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: make them enlightened. They don't want to be enlightened. If 425 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,920 Speaker 1: the vast majority of people, if one hundred thousand people 426 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: watch market mondays, those are one hundred thousand people that 427 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: want to get and like if a million, if a 428 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: three million people is gonna watch academics talking about Chicago 429 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 1: Drill and Drake and whoever beef whatever, Charlomagne, then it's 430 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 1: hard to really advocate for those three million people because 431 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:48,959 Speaker 1: they're making conscious decisions. 432 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 2: Mhmm. 433 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: You could say now they're not educated enough to even 434 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: make a decision. But at a certain point, it's hard 435 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: to it's getting increasingly hard hard to make that argument 436 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: because there's so much access to information. There wasn't always 437 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: access to information. Back previously it was it was illegal 438 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: to read. Previously, information was hidden. You didn't even have 439 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 1: an opportunity to be educated, so you you were purposely 440 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:21,120 Speaker 1: left ignorant. Now it's it's becoming increasingly difficult to have 441 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:26,600 Speaker 1: that same level of empathy for adults because at some 442 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 1: point you see something on social media and you decide 443 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: not to watch it. You see something you it's somebody's 444 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: giving you some level of information at some point, everybody 445 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: at this point, and you're you're making a decision to 446 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: be like, nah, that's not for me. 447 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 5: The access to information, the barriers a solo at this 448 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 5: point that it is a conscious decision that you're making 449 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 5: to not be educated straight up there. I don't know 450 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 5: how many entrepreneurs that we've spoken to who have become 451 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 5: successful who haven't said, I watched you to TV, but 452 00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 5: prior to earn your leisure right, I watched you. 453 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 2: I did this. I was for free, for free, just 454 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 2: to learn. I just happened to watch it, or I 455 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 2: could watch Bad. 456 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,880 Speaker 4: Buddies video shout out to beneath a shout out. 457 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 2: I'm knocking. 458 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 5: Got a bunch of billion viewge videos. But like, these 459 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 5: are choices, we're making them. 460 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, at what point, what age do you think 461 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 4: we should make the cut off from being entertained to 462 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 4: learning to make our lives better. 463 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 3: It's difficult. 464 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 4: What would you tell your son, Let's say that. 465 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 3: I mean, you got to understand certain level. 466 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: It's hard to for me personally, I was I never 467 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: I was always on that my whole entire life. 468 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 3: I always was on I was I always obviously listen 469 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:40,160 Speaker 3: to music. I listen. 470 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: I'm in the culture, so I'm not like a you know, 471 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: a monk, but I was always I always had a 472 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: more serious demeanor since I was young. 473 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:49,440 Speaker 3: I always was on that type of time. 474 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,680 Speaker 1: Like I read Rich Da Boy Dad when I was seventeen, 475 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: eighteen years old, Like that was like a whole you know, 476 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 1: Bible for me. As far as education is concerned, that's 477 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: probably like what a lot of fifty year old don't know. 478 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: But even before that, I was always interested. I was 479 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: interested in stocks, I was interested in business, you know, 480 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 1: it's you know that somebody's making money. That's how I 481 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: always look at like somebody's making money, so I'm interested 482 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: to know who's making money, and then how can I 483 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: make money? So to answer your question, it's difficult, I think, 484 00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 1: you know, because you can't have those same level of 485 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: expectations for kids. 486 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think there's an intersection. 487 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 5: I think what makes us unique, and I think it's 488 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 5: what's made us unique since we were younger, was that 489 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 5: we were able to find information inside of the entertainment. 490 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 5: I think we got this. Yeah, I think we would 491 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 5: have the ability to decode some of the messages. I 492 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 5: think we were able to break down and have, you know, 493 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 5: a common understanding when it came to music, especially when 494 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 5: it came to sports, it was yes, this is entertainment, 495 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 5: but yes this is business. 496 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 2: Why do you get this contract? Who's who's his advisor? 497 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 2: Who's his age? 498 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 4: Like? 499 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 5: Those are the kind of conversations that we were having, 500 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 5: on top of having the ones that obviously in the barbershop, 501 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:09,800 Speaker 5: you know when you're in school, so you can't alienate 502 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,719 Speaker 5: them from it because there's lessons to be learned inside 503 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 5: of it. We had the conversation with Lauren, and she 504 00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 5: was talking about roadblocks and like, there's an intersection there, 505 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,119 Speaker 5: and we've said just plenty of times, yes, kids enjoyed, 506 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 5: let's meet the winner at let's tell them that this 507 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 5: is a publicly traded company. 508 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 2: So it's just about finding the intersections. 509 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 5: I don't think we can cut off the age and say, 510 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 5: you know what at thirteen, you know longer watching this. 511 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 5: Can you put time restrictions on some of it? 512 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? 513 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:36,479 Speaker 5: Can you incorporate education inside of some of it, of course, 514 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 5: and then you're going to have the real world experiences 515 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 5: that you can provide for them as well. 516 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 2: So I think it's a mixture. 517 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 5: I don't think it's a cutoff because had that been 518 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 5: cut off for me and I can maybe I could 519 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 5: speak for him as well. 520 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 2: I don't know where we would be without music. I 521 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,679 Speaker 2: don't know where we would be without sports. 522 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I just said it's the last thing I'll 523 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: say about this. I just don't understand how you don't 524 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: want to just take your life serious. And like I said, 525 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: even for me, it wasn't like I was in business 526 00:26:57,800 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 1: my whole life. When I was playing basketball, like that's 527 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: what I was doing all day. I was going to 528 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: I was trying to better myself because I felt like 529 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: that was a pathway to me. Never I never was 530 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: a gamer. Not not to knock that, but I'm just 531 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 1: saying that's not what I was doing. I was never 532 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 1: a gamer. I was never somebody that was just smoking 533 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,960 Speaker 1: weed like I. Of course you get introduced to that 534 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,439 Speaker 1: and that's a decision that's easy to make. But I 535 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: was always serious, Like I always was serious about my life, 536 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 1: like I want to do something I want I want 537 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 1: to just be a regular person. I want to be 538 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: a special person. So I don't understand how you can 539 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: just have so much complacency. It's just it's difficult for 540 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: me to comprehend because it's just so much serious stuff 541 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: that's going on. Like I said, no matter what you 542 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,199 Speaker 1: want to do, like whatever you want to do with 543 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,199 Speaker 1: your life, you only get one shot at it. So 544 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: why would you not take it serious? Like why would 545 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 1: you get an opportunity to breathe every single day? 546 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 3: It's a blessing? 547 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 2: Is that the defense mechanism that kicks in? Right? 548 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 5: If I pretend that does not happening, If ignor that's 549 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 5: what it is, that's not happening because my life is 550 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 5: there's so much real happening in my life that I 551 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,399 Speaker 5: need to be distracted by the realness of it. 552 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 2: Now you feel like it's a mechanism. 553 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,360 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a defense mechanism. 554 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: You think that it's just a it's a thing where 555 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: people don't have that same level of urgency. Like I said, 556 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: if you look at it from a standpoint of like 557 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,520 Speaker 1: it's a blessing. You're actually blessed to be able to walk, 558 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,479 Speaker 1: stand up and breathe. That's a blessing. There's a lot 559 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,520 Speaker 1: of people that are incarcerated, there's a lot of people 560 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: that's dead. There's a lot of people that aren't physically 561 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:30,719 Speaker 1: able to even operate or mentally able to operate. So 562 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: if you have a sound mind and a sound body, 563 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: that's that's a blessing. I think it's disrespectful to just 564 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 1: take that blessing and just do nothing with your life 565 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: or do minimum amount. 566 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 3: Everybody. 567 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: Everybody has the ability to be great in certain areas. 568 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: So you could be the best carpenter, you could be 569 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: the best investor. Like they said, the master investor, what 570 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: is he gonna say? The average investor? Like, why would 571 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: you say? Why would you why would you strive for mediocrity? 572 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: Like we say we're the biggest, what we're supposed to 573 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,480 Speaker 1: say with the smallest, Like people get offended at or 574 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: they say they arrogant. They saying he's arrogant. He's saying 575 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: he's a master investor, Like well, what are you saying 576 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,040 Speaker 1: you're you're your best thing? 577 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 4: Because why weren't you putting out the information before I 578 00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:15,239 Speaker 4: did it? They drugged me on. I didn't even want 579 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 4: to be show my face on camera. They're like, no, 580 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,240 Speaker 4: you gotta like if you're gona do a YouTube show, 581 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 4: you gotta put up a camera. You should have made 582 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 4: two tech and that never show your face killing last year. 583 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 4: But it's like even when I put up that post, 584 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 4: shout out to my Guyso I was like, yo, stand 585 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 4: aside for two years. That's a small sacrifice. Like when 586 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 4: I asked Kyrie like how long were you playing to 587 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 4: get to the league, He's like, bro, what you mean 588 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 4: every day since age? That's what I dreamed about When 589 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 4: I met Kyrie. He was doing Trooper thread in front 590 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 4: of me and I'm like, I ain't playing, I ain't 591 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 4: not sold from a butter friend. You got me, I 592 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 4: can hur you what It shows the level of passion. 593 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 4: And the thing that we're really trying to convey is 594 00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,440 Speaker 4: like you have to have passion for something every day, 595 00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 4: you have to get after it. Even when we were 596 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 4: traveling around, these are still our talks. Yeah, your one life, 597 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 4: you choose, And this is what I will say for 598 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 4: everybody who goes outside all the time, who parties a lot, 599 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 4: and y'all, like, I'm seeing a bunch of people looking 600 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 4: like they're happy when they're out. When I see you 601 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 4: in real life, you look miserable. It's better to have 602 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 4: the real life that you're really happy about when you 603 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 4: don't got a post, than to pretend like you're posting 604 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,840 Speaker 4: for somebody else's media. And I'm telling you like this, 605 00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 4: the media that you're posting on don't make that much 606 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 4: money for the people who own the media. 607 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: The last thing I want to say about this because 608 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: you brought up a good point and I've been meaning 609 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: to talk about this for a while because we spend 610 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: a lot of time in Atlanta and we go out 611 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: all the time. But I think a celebration is meant 612 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: to celebrate something. So when Drake said, drink it every night, 613 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 1: because we drink some my accomplishments. There's some truth to that, 614 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:57,920 Speaker 1: right he actually has he can actually celebrate every single 615 00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,640 Speaker 1: night because he's worked hard enough to put himself in 616 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: a position and financially where it's not hurting them. And 617 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: then also he's earned his leisure on that certain level. 618 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 1: How many black businesses do we need for night clubs 619 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 1: and we're not even owning the nightclubs or bars or 620 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:13,160 Speaker 1: hookah lounges, And how many parties can we have? 621 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 3: Right? 622 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: How many? Like it's every single day. It's a variety 623 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:22,160 Speaker 1: of different options to celebrate. And this is globally. When 624 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: we went to Lagos, Nigeria, when we went to Jamaica, 625 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: black people party at unprecedented levels. This might go back 626 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: to a thing of like suppressing the pain because you 627 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 1: know that financially globally, we're in the last place globally, 628 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: so everybody's not rich. Everybody that's buying these bottles can't 629 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: afford these bottles. So is it a thing of just saying, like, 630 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna just have fun in this moment, because I. 631 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,920 Speaker 3: Know when I wake up tomorrow is back to you know, pain. 632 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: At some point we got it like and like I said, 633 00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: I have fun I'll go to clubs all the time. 634 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: But I'm just a pattern with this where this has 635 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 1: become an industry once again, going back, we don't even 636 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: own the clubs. It wouldn't even be that bad if 637 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: we actually had real ownership. We don't even own these 638 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 1: night clubs. We're just promoters. We're party promoters. And where 639 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,760 Speaker 1: the people that's really getting rich off of this are 640 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: the liquor companies which we have no ownership in. We 641 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: heard did he talk about that? And the owners of 642 00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,320 Speaker 1: the night clubs which ninety percent of the people that 643 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 1: own these physical buildings and structures are not black people. Yes, 644 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,840 Speaker 1: and even the people that rent the clubs are not 645 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: black people. Only the black people in this equation are 646 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: the customers, the bottle service girls and security, and the promoters. 647 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 4: That's it. 648 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 3: That's that's the ecosystem of this. 649 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: Strip clubs, lounges, hookah lounges, bars, it's consuming, it's consuming 650 00:32:55,120 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: a decaded lifestyle at an extremely high level.
