40
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what we're trying to do today. We're

41
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: trying to establish a brand by bringing on individuals like

42
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: doctor Eric Thomas, who has been known in many circles

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: and grew the famous e T the hip hop preacher

44
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: UH phenomenal Success. UH met him several times when I

45
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: was doing and UH producing Steve Harvey's mentoring cap in Dallas, Texas.

46
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: He would come down and motivate the young people to

47
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: a path of success. Bringing on Ed Gordon is important

48
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: to me because of the role he's played in UM

49
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: delivering UM information from the media and also how he's

50
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: been able to reinvent himself so many times over the

51
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: years in the path of success. And the reason I'm

52
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: bringing on that when to tell his story in the

53
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: in the short amount of time and hopefully you can

54
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: use that information so you can be inspired. Secondly, I

55
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: wanted to talk about the opportunity to be able to

56
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: communicate with Kenny baby Face Emmonds UM many several times,

57
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,040

59
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: lot of people don't know because he's not. They just

60
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: they just think of these songs that you hear him sing.

61
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: Of his impact in the music industry today, you're gonna

84
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: you to a lot of my fan base, because your

85
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: fan base follows you. So it took me seven years

86
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: to get my undergraduate degree, it took you twelve. Yeah,

87
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,239
Speaker 1: that was a journey for me because I tell people

88
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: I wasn't ready to get a degree for were years.

89
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: I didn't have the money to get a degree in

90
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: four years. Tell people your story. Yeah, I think for me, Um,

91
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: you know, like you said, I went to school because

92
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 1: my girl went to school, and so in the actuality,

93
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: I had graduated when I got accepted, you know, so

94
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: you know, my first two or three weeks of school,

95
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: I had already accomplished when I wanted to accomplish, you know.

96
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: So I was going to class, and as you know,

97
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: I started dealing with difficulties of you know, like you said, finances,

98
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: um class, you know, schedule, class time. I'm gonna just

99
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: be honest. It wasn't worth me staying you know, I

100
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: was just like, it's not worked. It like I could

101
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: go make money, you know. And I had come, unfortunately

102
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: from a city where you know, education was really you know,

103
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,239
Speaker 1: a high priority. People were working at four gym in Christman.

104
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: So it wasn't even like I was getting the afflication

105
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: for being at school. You know, nobody was sending the

106
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: awards or nobody was saying, you know, sending the care packages.

107
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: Nobody was putting money on my bill. It was like, oh,

108
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: you're in school. That's a good thing, but you probably

109
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: don't think you're gonna finish anyway. So you know, after

110
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: taking all of the video courses, I've done decent, so

111
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: my g p A was decent. But then when I

112
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: started taking real classes, it took u I guess you know,

113
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: you get probation, extending probation, final probation took a couple

114
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: of semesters before you know what, I'm saying that the

115
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: real deal. Holy to it, like you gotta go. And

116
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: it didn't bother because I was like, yo, I'm not

117
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: here to school, you know that I'm here for my girl,

118
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, and then we end up getting buried. After

119
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: my freshman year, I was like, yo, you know. So

120
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: I end up leaving, started my career and speaking and

121
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: making good money speaking. You know, I wasn't freak, but

122
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: I was not money, you know, having nice part and

123
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: you know, me and my wife be able to just

124
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 1: like the past, Eric, you're starting to break up. Eric,

125
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: you're starting to break up a little bit. Okay, I'm sorry.

126
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: Can you hear me? Now? I can clearly that. Yeah.

127
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: So I had a pastor who said, look, man, it's

128
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: saying about getting a degree, Like you don't need no degree,

129
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 1: this is about finishing. Your father didn't finish anything. And

130
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, you do you know my father what I'm saying,

131
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: how can you say? You know? He said, well, he

132
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: didn't finish. He didn't take care of you. You know,

133
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: he didn't finish that. So I don't want you to

134
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: have this habit of not finishing stuff. So he was like,

135
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: you need to go not for money, you know, not

136
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: for a degree, but you need to go so that

137
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: in your mind you started something, you finished something. And

138
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, I got it, you know, So

139
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: I just went back because he told me to go back. So, yeah,

140
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: my my journey, man was I didn't go to school

141
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: for school. I was never a real academic kid. You know.

142
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: I was always good with communication, good with my mouth.

143
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: You know. I went out in the world man, and

144
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: start doing my thing. But like I said, at some

145
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: point when I had my son, I didn't want him

146
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: to be a high school dropout. Father had dropped out,

147
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: my grandfather dropped out, and I didn't want four generations

148
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: of drop out. So I just decided to go back

149
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: and get this degree so that I could be an

150
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: example to my son. Dr I'm calling your doctor because

00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,600

00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 1: want to fail. But I think when you go through

156
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: life that you don't fail and like just a massive

157
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: success time, it's difficult to relate to common people. So

158
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: I think what my failures have done, even though I

159
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: didn't want to fail, I think what my failures have

160
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: done is give me a unique tone. There's a tone

161
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: in my points where people are like, yo, he's not

162
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: talking at me. You know, he's not a goodie two shoe,

163
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: He's not you know He's not acting as if you

164
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, he's better than me. He's speaking

165
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: to me as if he is me me. Why Yeah,

166
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: because I did fail. You know I'm saying. I didn't

167
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: take me twelve years. I did put a flunk a

168
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,479
Speaker 1: lot of classes. I know what it's like to be humiliated,

169
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,079
Speaker 1: not want to call my parents what I'm doing, or

170
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: beat people back in my hometown like school, you have

171
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: finished yet, So I think my failure is actually connected

172
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: to people in a Ain't that when you have not failed,

173
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: you cannot connect with people. And I think that's important

174
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: because you you're letting people know life it's not perfect.

175

Speaker 1: all the red, and start putting the orange together, you know.

00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: But take these little small steps, these little small winds,

215
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: and they create that bigger picture. So absolutely, we're gonna

234
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,880

235
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: go buy program and I'm not saying that you know

236
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,040

237
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: have to go buy something within you. You know what

238
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying, It's in you. And that's why I say

239
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: you owe you. You owe it to yourself. You owe

240
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: it to yourself to stop, you know, letting yourself down,

241
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: not reaching your full potential, not seeing the gifts that

242
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: you have. You can make money, like you could be

243
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: valuable to somebody else, like you could be a product

00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: how to bring that out, like you said, how to

248
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 1: put a plan together so you can do that thing

249
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: for the rest of your life. Yeah, because a lot

250
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,480

257
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm saying, I'm saying, you know, at some point,

258
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: we all have seen, you know, in our best days,

259
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: where we could be, you know, in our best days,

260
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: we've seen what we're capable of. We've all dreamed and

261
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, and people poured into us and said, man,

262
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: you could do this, and you could be that. You know,

263
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: and that, and let me tell you something that is

264
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: so invigorating. That's what energizing. Then you go through life,

265
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. You go through life and

266
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: and and and and something happens to your child or

267
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: I was just talking to a good friend of mine,

268
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, who got a divorce after you know, his

269
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: wife had a miscarriage, and he was just like, y'all

270
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: gonna be real. I just emotionally she went in the funk.

271
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,599
Speaker 1: She was depressed. I didn't know how to man, you

272
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: need faith to get through that kind of stuff. Cancer

273
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: my wife got and mess like, we needed faith to

274
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: know that this is not the end. This is just

275
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: the beginning. You know, when we was running the business

276
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: and we weren't making fifty six. We need to be

277
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,880
Speaker 1: able to see in the dark what we saw in

278
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: the light. Going. Faith is important because it's the evidence

279
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: of things by seeing that. It's that hope. It's not

280
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: tangible where you can pick it up. Being in the back.

281
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: That's saying like, yo, you saw it, didn't touch it.

282
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: You touch it in your mind, you touch it in

283
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: your dreams, you touched in your soul. So so if

284
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: you just keep going one day, you're gonna touch you tangibly.

285
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, for me, man, faith is everything because it's

286
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: the fuel that in the dark. It's the light, flickering

287
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: light and hope in the dark. That that that that

288
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: that when you don't have evidence, So yeah, man, faith

289
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: is so so critical to our success, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 1: making no money at all. And some people who have

328
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: six figures, seven figures in them and they let's just

329
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: be honest. They have not been exposed. Like I've been blessed.

330
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: You know, I've gotten with Fortune five D companies. I've

331
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: been with Warren Buffet, Dan Gilbert. I have a relationship

332
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: with some of these guys, and I have access to

333
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: some of the most phenomenal mind some of the most

334
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: phenomenal skills, and they passed this stuff down to people

335
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: in their circle. And so I've been blessed to get

336
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: some of this information. And what I wanna do is,

337
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to keep it to myself. I want

338
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: to give some of the stuff I learned sitting in

339
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: the room with Warm Buffet, some of the stuff I've

340
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: learned going through trainings with you know, the Quick and

341
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,440
Speaker 1: Long CEO s uh, you know, being able to work

342
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: with the owners of the Cavaliers. Like, I want to

343
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: give away some of those secrets. And I ain't even

344
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: gonna say secret. People just have been exposed. And so

345
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: that some people are already making money, but they did

346
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: a glass ceiling because they haven't been exposed to some

347
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: of the next level stuff. It's funny. I was talking

348
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 1: to a friend of mine. He was saying about to

349
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: tax stuff. You know, man, I don't know if I

350
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 1: should do this or that. I said, look, it's a book,

351
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna read it. In the book, it's tax break.

352
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: It's just the way American society is set up. You

353
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: don't have to be nervous, you don't have to work.

354
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: They just they set certain things up for so once

355
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: you expose. And so I want to give those people

356
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 1: who are already doing their thing and they need to

357
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,880
Speaker 1: stay ready. They need to stay ready for the next

358
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,359
Speaker 1: opportunity that they need to get to another level of influence.

359
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: They need a little bit more impact, they need to

360
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: meet a different circle of influence. That's what this show

361
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: is all about, putting them in that position to stay

362
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: ready for what's next. You got something great now, but look,

363
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 1: stay ready for that next you know opportunity that's coming.

364
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: And and I mean that stay ready on a lot

365
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: of platforms like like like because I know I'm losing

366
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 1: weight because I know something about to happen for me

367
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: in the media. So I know I gotta lose that weight.

368
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 1: You know, I'm saying, I know I gotta lift a

369
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 1: few weights because I'm about to travel a little bit more.

370
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 1: I gotta be ready to stay ready and I think

371
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: that when people need to understand stay ready, it's a

372
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: plan that you are saying that I want to be successful.

373
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: That's what stay ready by. Everybody has that starting line,

374
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: but a lot of people don't want to walk up

375
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: to the starting line. And that's what stay ready is

376
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: all about. All he's trying to tell everybody who's listening

377
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: to watching is this, you have an opportunity to be successful,

378
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: and things are preparing you to be successful, but you

379
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: have a general tendency to avoid it because guess what,

380
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: there's work involved in preparation. There's work involved in taking

381
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: advantage of an opportunity. That's what stay ready is all about.

382
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: And it just birds me up when I run into

383
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: people who are talented, I run into people who say

384
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: I'll never be I'll never be with I'm gonna be

385
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna be because they have not even taken

386
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: the time to find out what they can be. They

387
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: have not taken the time to change their goals and

388
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: their expectations. They have fallen into the narrative of I'm

389
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: gonna be what I'm gonna be, and stay ready. If

390
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: you go to this thing, I walked into it, I

391
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: was in I was invited stand in the back of

392
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: the room and guess what I thought. I was ready

393
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: and I learned some things. That's the great That's the

394
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: great thing about what he's telling everybody. Dr Eric Thomas

395
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: is telling everybody. Look, just come and grab some extra nuggets.

396
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: You can go from four to five to six to

397
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: seven figure incomes. Don't ever think you know enough. I

398
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: always say this, I wake up dumb. I tell people

399
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: all the time. I wake up dumb. So I am

400
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: willing to accept information. See if you wake up smart,

401
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: did you will have a genial tendency to say, I

402
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: don't need to know anything else. I don't need to

403
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: know anybody else. Engagement that would make me more successful.

404
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: Don't sell the standard, or I'll tell you what thing

405
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: I'm teaching. My man at Amazon, Jeff, he was for

Speaker 1: Mr ed Gordon, it was having it. Mr McDonald, sir,

532
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: First of all, how you doing it? I'm good man,

533
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: I am good and that's that that I always say

534
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: that to you because your image is always at one

535
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 1: level and then your career and then you're out looked

536
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: to change. Are it's always at at that same level

537
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: because you never say that that you satisfied. Is that

538
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: that's just a burning part of your personality that you're

539
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: never satisfied. But that's a good thing to say. Correct

540
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: never satisfied. You know. One of the people and I

541
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: say this, and you know I have said this for many,

542
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 1: many years. What's the people I learned and watched that

543
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: from was you, Rashaan. Rashaan has always been one of

544
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: those go getters who not only was going and getting

545
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: for himself, but I think the best leaders are those

546
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 1: who can inspire their team. And for years, Rashaan, I

547
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: have watched you inspire motivate people. And that's really what

548
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 1: it's about, because when you motivate people selfishly, you do

549
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: better for yourself. And I thank you for that compliment,

550
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: I really do, because you know me, I'm just I'm

551
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: just a guy. When I you know, it's not about

552
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: money in the in in in the process, because you know,

553
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: we all want to make money. And I always tell

554
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: people that you know their things and you tell you.

555
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: You said that to their things that you're gonna do

556
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: in life that you're not gonna get paid for, but

557
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: it pays off to get a check later on and

558
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: and and people don't understand that. Everybody want to check

559
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,239
Speaker 1: up front. They were they're negotiating the deal with guess what,

560
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: zero from zero equal zero zero. I learned though, Rashaan

561
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: it's often people who haven't made it over that hump

562
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: yet who will say I gotta get paid, I gotta

563
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: get paid because they're struggling often and I understand that.

564
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: And what I try to tell people is we were

565
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: all there at one time, and at some point, those

566
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: of us who did make it over that hump made

567
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: that decision even though we needed it and we wanted it.

568
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 1: And maybe phone bill was do re do, mortgage was due.

569
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: There comes a point in time where you have to say,

570
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: I'm a bet on me, and that's what it's about.

571
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: And that's not because in the end, you know your mistakes.

572
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: You know your mistakes, and if you bet on you,

573
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: you can fix your mistakes. And that's really important. And

574
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: I watched I watched your career and you know, first

575
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 1: of all, I'm a fan that's going and you have

576
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: a lot of fans out there because of the fact

577
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: that when you speak, you know, as a voice, did

578
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: you go, that's the going choking over there? You you

579
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: you want to want them if hunting people for us,

580
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 1: the black people. You know what I'm saying, because because

581
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: you you said so many important things that we have

582
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: to recognize that when you talk something important, it's got

583
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: to come out of you, It's gonna come out of

584
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: your mouth. Now does that care a certain responsibility for you?

585
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: It does reshawn to some degree. You know. I still

586
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: see myself as this kid out of Detroit who was

587
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: two votes away from class clowning high school. But I

588
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: don't always take myself seriously. But I also understood early

589
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 1: on and continue to understand what I meant to our community.

590
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: You know, I have been able to forge your career here.

591
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: This going on three decades now, and most of the

592
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: people I started in my industry with who are African American,

593
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,959
Speaker 1: male and female, are no longer in it. They couldn't

594
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: ride that road long enough. And it wasn't their fault.

595
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: Had nothing to do with talent. We just don't get

596
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: opportunities as often as other folks in this industry. And

597
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,239
Speaker 1: so the thing that I'm most proud of is with

598
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: older black people and young black males especially who have

599
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: come to me and say, oh, you know, I don't

600
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 1: normally watch news, but you make me proud or I

601
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: watch it because you give it. Um. I understood that

602
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: responsibility and I've never taken it lightly. So for me,

603
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: I never represented just me or just my immediate family.

604
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: I knew whether it was talking to O J or

605
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: President or whomever, I knew that I was representing us

606
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: and that was important to me. It is important to

607
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: us too, because there are very few people out there

608
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: who are representing us, you know they and you know,

609
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: we have entertainers, we have athletes. I'm talk about presenting

610
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: us from a journalistic standpoint. We need deliver the message

611
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: back to us. You know, we feel that has credibility.

612
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: Now you have a show called Ed Gordon. It's on

613
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: Bounce TV. And Bounce TV isn't like ninety five million

614
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,959
Speaker 1: homes right now, So you got Bounce is really growing

615
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: a lot. And they came to me a couple of

616
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: years ago and talk what I wanted to do, and

617
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: we really looked at it and it's kind of like

618
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: a sixty minutes. It's a news magazine show. And uh,

619
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: we just aired show number three is cut off quarterly,

620
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: and our numbers have been good, and uh, you know,

621
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: we're really blessed that people have really wanted to jump

622
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: on and and and come on the show. We started off,

623
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 1: We kicked it off with a profile of the mothers

624
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: of the movement. Uh, Trayvon Martin's mother, Michael and so

625
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: many others joined us, and it was just so emotional,

626
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: tears everywhere, viewers were crying. But it really was my

627
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,959
Speaker 1: attempt to show that these women were more than just

628
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: um figures, you know, sometimes tragic tragic figure. Sometimes we

629
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: see it and we see somebody from a distance and

630
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: we see them as an image. These were real women

631
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 1: who had lost their children, who somehow get up every

632
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: day and live their lives not only for themselves now

633
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: but the legacy and the memory of their child. Most recently,

634
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: because we knew it was summertime, our last show, we

635
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: did profiles on the cast of Girls Trip, Ohmary Hardwick,

636
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: Michael Strong and Cedric and the Cedric the entertainer. And

637
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: we're talking about the age of Trump. You're bragging on

638
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: the show. Now you're bragging on you know what it's about, Rashaun,

639
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: And you and I both know this. It's really about relationships.

640
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: I try to tell people all the time. You can

641
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: have all the talent in the world, you can have

642
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: all the money in the world, and money certainly helps

643
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: and money will get doors open for you. But at

644
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's about relationships. Now that

645
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: the interesting thing about is that when I when I

646
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: look at what you're doing with the Ed Gordon. First

647
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: of all, I know that every time this show is

648
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: about the air, contact my office a week before so

649
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: I can put you on the show, because that's what

650
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: this is all about, you know, Send me a social

651
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: media banner and I'll put it on my on my

652
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: on my social platforms. And that's what you're talking about, relationships.

653
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: And I know that you're on the show today because

654
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 1: we have a relationship that's exactly right, and we communicated

655
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: over the years. Now. The thing has always been out

656
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: there that we talked about is Daddy's promise. Yeah, man,

657
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: we've been talking about that a long time. We've been

658
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,479
Speaker 1: doing this for a long time. In fact, we getting

659
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 1: ready gearback up uh in a strong way uh this fall.

660
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: But Daddy's promise came out of an article I wrote

661
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: that's the magazine about my relationship with my daughter and children.

662
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, I'd have a little boy and he'd

663
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: be a little ed and I go to this basketball

664
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: games and watch him, you know, push up on a

665
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 1: little pretty girls. And you know, I lived through that

666
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 1: vicariously the way I used to, but I was giving

667
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: a daughter. And you know, it has changed my life tremendously. Uh,

668
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: it has made me a better person. And so we

669
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: started this initiative to not only salute the father daughter relationship,

670
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: but really to tell men that we're important in the

671
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 1: lives of our kids, and that we really have to

672
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 1: start to make sure that fathers are involved in every

673
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: facet of life for our kids. You know, all of

674
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 1: us knows some man who, for whatever reason isn't involved

675
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: in his with his kids. Sometimes it's on the baby's mama,

676
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: but quite frankly, sometimes it's on that man. It's a

677
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 1: lot easier not to raise the child than to raise

678
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 1: the child to run away from responsibility. That's exactly why.

679
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,800
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, that's exactly right. And so our goal

680
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: is to make sure even if you don't have a

681
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: good relationship with the mother, that you have a good

682
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 1: relationship with that child. And most importantly, it gave us

683
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: an opportunity to show that not every black man is

684
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: a delinquent father. We got a lot of and a

685
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: lot more men are involved and aren't involved, and so

686
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,080
Speaker 1: it's our way to salute them. Now, now, what programs

687
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: do you have coming up? A program do you have

688
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: to do developing? Let me tell you. We're working on

689
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: a couple of documentaries as we speak. In fact, we

690
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: were shooting some stuff this weekend. We're taking a look

691
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: at what we call the Faith Project UH for for

692
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 1: African Americans. Faith has been such a strong UH light

693
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: in our lives and so I wanted to take a

694
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: look at how faith affects all of us and how

695
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 1: it is sustained in particular the African American community. We're

696
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: also working on something about how black folks UH love

697
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 1: to party. We've been doing that for a couple of

698
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: years now, but we've been putting that together and for

699
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: the show in December get this Rush for the show

700
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,160
Speaker 1: and December for Bouncing, I'm doing a one hour special

701
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 1: called am I Black Enough for You? And what we're

702
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: doing it's going across the country talking to folks about

703
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 1: what makes us black quote unquote, So you know the

704
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,720
Speaker 1: debate we always have in our community about hair texture

705
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: and skin color. You know, we're taking a look at that,

706
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: but we're also taking a look at the idea of

707
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,959
Speaker 1: if you're a black Republican, are you considered black enough?

708
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 1: If you're mixed, are you considered black enough? If you

709
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 1: grew up in the suburbs instead of the hood, are

710
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: you black enough? We just did a great segment. We

711
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 1: had one light skinned sister who's mixed. We had a

712
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: sister from Cameroon who's very dark. I put them together

713
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: and they talked about how they sometimes have found that

714
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: they are beaten up in different ways, but it's exactly

715
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 1: the same because it's based on their skin color by

716
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:58,919
Speaker 1: black people. So, uh, trying to do that's the December show.

717
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get us to look at the things

718
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: that we all talk about in the kitchen but don't

719
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: always talk about outside. And you do it better than anybody.

720
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: So here's the deal down. So so my Money Making

721
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: Conversation show, you know, it's on my Facebook page. I'm

722
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: not on I heart podcast platform now. So it plays

723
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 1: back on that. And so my reach is really strong

724
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:20,759

00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: sometimes you won't get on the show, they won't put

740
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: say one thing before we go, And I think it's

741
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: important on the money make his side if I can

742
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: very quickly. People always will reach out and say to

743
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: successful people, hey, I got this plan. Hey, can I

744
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,359
Speaker 1: call you? Hey? Will you taking my you know, will

745
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 1: you take my tape? When you look at my book,

746
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: when you look at my song, look at my TV show?

747
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: And often those people won't take your call, look at

748
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: your tape. It isn't necessarily even because they don't want to.

749
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: It's just because they got their lives to leave. And

750
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: I want to tell everybody, the people who make money,

751
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: who become successful, who make it to the top, all

752
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: face that same thing. But the difference is they didn't

753
00:39:44,040 --> 00:39:46,800
Speaker 1: get mad about it. They didn't get in a corner

754
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: and pout about it. They found a way around it.

755
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,400
Speaker 1: And I know, Rashaan, that you have done that, that

756
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: I have done that, And I want to encourage those

757
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: who follow you, who listen to you, who watch you,

758
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,000
Speaker 1: to make sure they do the same thing. Don't be distressed,

759
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:05,759

Speaker 1: a month ago, I sewed you to call back because

00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: you was putting together your your go fund me campaign

790
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: about your film that you was doing. The film is

791
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: called Waking Up White, Yes, sir, tell us about that, well,

792
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 1: Waking Up White it's a it's an idea that I

793
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: had been touring around with for a while, and I

794
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: being in grad school now I found they decided to

795
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,560
Speaker 1: go ahead and do something with it. And the premise

796
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: for the film is that an African American family wakes

797
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: up white one morning and they have three days to

798
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: determine if they want to go back to their cultural

799
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,719
Speaker 1: roots or stick with the skin that they're in. So

800
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: I'm I'm happy to be in school right now and

801
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: we're going into production with this film summer team. Now,

807
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:35,960

Speaker 1: was not needing, man, I thank you, though, Um, I've

912
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 1: been really inspired. And let me let you know I too.

913
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: I try to tune it like every Monday as much

914
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: as I can, and I take notes. I do. I

915
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: take notes. When Verka was on the show and he

916
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 1: guys were talking about faith in business, I took notes. Um,

917
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: even today, you know, Dr Thomas very Gordon, this is

918
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 1: amazing stuff. Um, and it's very inspiring. So I love it.

919
00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:20,839
Speaker 1: I love it. I love it right now, man, as

920
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 1: you were, I am in Los Angeles, I was in Ohio.

921
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,959
Speaker 1: I was doing that, but I started to realize some things.

922
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: I was like, wait a minute, my income is cap

923
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:34,640
Speaker 1: my opportunities are capped. And I attended a mentoring session

924
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 1: with Missus T D Jake's and there was something that

925
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: he said, I feel like that has literally changed every

926
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 1: decision I've made ever since then. He says, you're not next,

927
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: You're now. And he said that he says every time

928
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: you think you're next or you're the next one, he says,

929
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,360
Speaker 1: it gives you an excuse not to be great and

930
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 1: not to be ready. And you guys were just talking

931
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 1: about that staying ready right, always being hungry, and I

932
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: knew that that sport was that that was same thing

933
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 1: for me. So and then I'm starting to learn that

934
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: really there's no where, there's no sacrifice, there's no real value.

935
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:11,720
Speaker 1: So I had to sacrifice a lot making and making

936
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 1: this leap and jump to l A. I started read

937
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: Jump the steep r book and I said, listening to you,

938
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,520
Speaker 1: some things just started to click in my in my

939
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: head and myself, I said, no, you have to do this,

940
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:24,839
Speaker 1: And I felt like I was treating my music career

941
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:27,919
Speaker 1: as a part time dead thank you, And I said,

942
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: it can't. It won't work that way. It can't work

943
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: that way. It can't, it can't. Most imna tell you why.

944
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: Because I worked at IBM and I was doing stand

945
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: up comedy at night. I had to quit IBM. That's

946
00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:41,719
Speaker 1: what you call sacrifice, That's what you just said. And

947
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:43,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people are afraid to make that sacrifice

948
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: because guess what, it walks you into the unknown. See. See,

949
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: you know when you have a regular job, you know

950
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,919
Speaker 1: you're gonna go to the job. You offered a certain

951
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: time you're gonna go to launch, you might flirt with

952
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 1: somebody's the job. You might be mad at somebody with

953
00:49:57,000 --> 00:49:59,280
Speaker 1: the job. You might show up later, you might calling

954
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: sick at the j all these things you can do

955
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: with that job. But you know, but when you meet

956
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: making sacrifices the unknown pop scene, do not be afraid

957
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 1: of the unknown Moses, I walked out there, man, you

958
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: can call it faith. I didn't have a plan. That's

959
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: what I'm telling people. Don't make the same mistake that

960
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 1: I made. But when you're making a sacrifice, the plan

961
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 1: is that you're about to change your life. That you're

962
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 1: not next is now right. That's so true. That's so true, man.

1019
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:43,800
Speaker 1: what you're twenty five? Yeah, okay, I'm telling some twenty five.

1020
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: I just graduate from college and then I didn't know

1021
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:48,600
Speaker 1: and I was working for five BM, so I really

1022
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 1: was just doing the regular thing. You know. You go

1023
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 1: to college, you go to world, you get mad, you

1024
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,960
Speaker 1: have kids. Now twenty five, you made a decision that, hey,

1025
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: it was something I was doing as a hobby, the knocking,

1026
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: to do it as a business. What pushed you in

1027
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,439
Speaker 1: that direction or what gave you the belief you could

1028
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 1: go in that direction? Well, he's sitting right here, my husband,

1029
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,759
Speaker 1: And actually the business started when two years ago, when

1030
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,759
Speaker 1: I was twenty three, and um, I was doing the

1031
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 1: hobby at first, and my husband already previously had his

1032
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 1: own business and was very like entrepreneurial minded. So when

1033
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 1: he found out, like when he saw that the hobby

1034
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: was doing really really well that people were interested in

1035
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,439
Speaker 1: the soap, he was like, you know, you need to

1036
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 1: start a business. And I was looking at him because

1037
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking, you know, it was just a hobby.

1038
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: I wasn't thinking of like starting a business. But um,

1039
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: he helped me definitely get started, and um has been

1040
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: there along the way just helping the business grow and

1041
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 1: we've just been seeing it grow. Let menage a couple

1042
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 1: of questions in Miss Louis, because it's a couple of

1043
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 1: things because I can see him in the in the

1044
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,799
Speaker 1: in the skype, and I'm not trying to bring him

1045
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: on the call, but what happens there is and I

1046
00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: get this a lot. He's your mentor, I can say that, right,

1047
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 1: and that's important. And also he abody he can turn to,

1048
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: like you said earlier, for advice on your business. Correct.

1049
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 1: So so let's expound on that. Because you have a

1050
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 1: built in mentor and you have a built in advisor,

1051
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: how important that is when you started your business two

1052
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: years ago because a lot of people just jump out there.

1053
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 1: They don't have a plan and they don't have anybody

1054
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: to turn to when things aren't going right. How important

1055
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 1: does the role he played other Let's let's remove the

1056
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 1: word husband out of the conversation. Let's just use the

1057
00:55:29,719 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 1: word mentor and advisor. Hard role I'm important is that role? Um?

1058
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: That role of course is very vital. UM. Just as

1059
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: far as like, even with life, we always need guidance

1060
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 1: and different things. So UM, I always say, just even

1061
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: with entrepreneurship, just to get out there and do it,

1062
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,799
Speaker 1: like actually start doing something. But along the way, as

1063
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,319
Speaker 1: you can see to grow, and as you continue to transform,

1064
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: and you want somebody to help guide you, somebody that

1065
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 1: you can go to. UM that's that has already you know,

1066
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: done that, done that business aspect or maybe even UM

1067
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 1: like I talked to other soap makers as well, even

1068
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 1: talking to people who've um already have had businesses as

1069
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:12,359
Speaker 1: soap makers, and even just UM, my husband, he's over

1070
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: with my mentor. He's really good at marketing as well,

1071
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:19,320
Speaker 1: so he's you know, he helps a lot with that side.

1072
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 1: And then I also learned a lot of things from

1073
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 1: just watching him, Um, watching the things he's done with

1074
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: his business and watching the things that he does with

1075
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 1: Urban Eating as well. Okay, cool, how do we get

Speaker 1: s H E R D N E D E N

1079
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 1: dot com. Okay, okay, now let's let's talk about something

1080
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 1: you said earlier. Organic products. I hear that a lot

1081
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: from people, you know, you know stores that they have

1082
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: organic food. You know, it's no chemicals. How why why

1083
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 1: is why is that such a big sale when it

1084
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:03,720
Speaker 1: comes to your soap product? Um, Well, we don't even actually,

1085
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: we don't even claim to be organic. We just claim

1086
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,359
Speaker 1: to be natural because a lot of um, I mean

1087
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: really it's just a label. Natural makes people. Yea organic

1088
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,960
Speaker 1: you have to pay for that, like because it grows

1089
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: a certain way. And we just claim to be natural, um,

1090
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 1: just because it's the earth to us as natural. So

1091
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 1: all the products that we UM choose our earth made products,

1092
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 1: because that's why we just natural is our thing. Um.

1093
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: Even before I started making soaps, like most people knew

1094
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: me as a natural person. You know, I've every I've

1095
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 1: done that with the natural movement and a lot of

1096
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 1: people are moving towards natural products because our skin is

1097
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's from I mean, our bodies are composed

1098
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,000
Speaker 1: of earth made elements as well, so we have to

1099
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: work with the earth, uh and use products from the earth,

1100
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,960

01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: less subtrusive and really looking to redefine the experience of television.

1210
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have shown that over

1211
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 1: the years they're more familiar with these devices, and there's

1212
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 1: a lot of different features that each of them offer,

1213
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: and we're excited to bring an experience that really brings,

1214
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, the TV to kind of the next level

1215
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:48,400
Speaker 1: advanced TV, if you will. Well, we know the TV

1216
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: is already there, you know, like I said, I'm watching

1217
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: on my you know, my smartphone. I used to have

1218
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 1: had to have my laptop, you know, but now as

1219
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: I'm adjusting my viewers my view and I'm cool with

1220
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: looking at a small screen. So what is the what

1221
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 1: is the limits? Are their limits? And what you're trying

1222
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:06,680
Speaker 1: to do when you're bringing this type of visual technology

1223
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: to the world, Well, we think, you know, part of

1224
01:04:09,720 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 1: the challenge I've seen is that, you know, there's a

1225
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: lot of different devices, interfaces and everything has, you know,

1226
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: its own set up time. And I think you'd agree,

1227
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: even just from a consumer standpoint. You know, when you

1228
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: when you have all Apple products, they speak well to

1229
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: each other. When you have all Samsung products, they speak

1230
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: well to each other. But then when you have a

1231
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: variety of products, it becomes more cumbersome to get your

1232
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 1: phone to connect to your TV and your TV to

1233
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: connect to you know, your your other O T T devices.

1234
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: And I think even the name quite frankly, you know,

1235
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 1: we use the term and in the industry O T

1236
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: T over the top, but even that I don't think

1237
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: does a great job of describing, you know, what this

1238
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: new space really is. I mean the idea that people

1239
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:54,440
Speaker 1: are watching less commercials and everyone is looking for you know,

1240
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 1: very specific niche content as well as the big broad subject.

1241
01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: The old were the top devices or the or the

1242
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, essentially the the the digital version of cable

1243
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: allows you to connect in a way that you don't

1244
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: really get on any other platform. And what we think

1245
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: is really the solution to this is to try to

1246
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 1: standardize and to try to make it as easy for

1247
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,280
Speaker 1: the consumer as possible. The consumer experience has to be

1248
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: number one. Now, you know, you said questions for me

1249
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: to ask, which thank you, but one of them that

1250
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:25,840
Speaker 1: stood out was that was this question about to ask

1251
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: you right now what can social video do to better

1252
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 1: society in the world, explaining, well, I think, you know,

1253
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: obviously I'm a big fan of your work, and I

1254
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 1: really you know, want to you know, compliment you on

1255
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 1: not only the the initiatives that you've done in business

1256
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 1: and entertainment and television, but also to really make the

1257
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 1: world a better place. I think overall in society people,

1258
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: especially with social media and and all of the you know,

1259
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: the the kind of polarization of different topics, whether it

1260
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: be politics or religion or or even just general pop

1261
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 1: culture has really created an environ ment, uh that can

1262
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 1: be very hostile. Uh. You know, there seems to be

1263
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: you know, very far right and a very far left

1264
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: opinion on just about anything. So I think part of

1265
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:12,800
Speaker 1: the the idea that social video has brought a democratization

1266
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: of information and at the speed of light, you know,

1267
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 1: social video to me is also a tool that can

1268
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:22,440
Speaker 1: really help get things that may or may not be

1269
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 1: covered by mainstream media, or things that may or may

1270
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 1: not be obvious to people, out to to a greater

1271
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:32,160
Speaker 1: audience and to really make people aware of critical world issues,

1272
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:35,120
Speaker 1: things that quite frankly, you know, as a society we

1273
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: should be far more concerned about, uh than what was

1274
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: on the last episode of the Kardashians. We need to

1275
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 1: find a way to get it to people and get

1276
01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: it to people quickly. So I think it's almost creating

1277
01:06:45,400 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: a citizens journalism approach to major major topics. And I

1278
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 1: think that if we really, as a as a society

1279
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 1: use social media for the impact of good as much

1280
01:06:56,200 --> 01:06:58,959
Speaker 1: as we do to to share the latest gossip, we

1281
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 1: we as a society can can actually create a better

1282
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: environment for us and our children. Now that that's great

1283
01:07:05,280 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: because you know, but that that's one side of the ledger.

1284
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 1: The other side is the entertainment, and entertainment dominates the

1285
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: format of the platform that you involved whether he's whether

1286
01:07:14,520 --> 01:07:18,479
Speaker 1: he's baking, or whether he's funny videos, or or whether

1287
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: he's you know, exercise videos a thing like that. What

1288
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: format is a dominant part of your production? What format

1289
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: would you say? So, we're we're doing a lot in

1290
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: very specific categories, like the world of spirits as an alcohol.

1291
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 1: We think that that's a very unique niche category. To start,

1292
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 1: we're actually launching a network on new Buzz TV all

1293
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 1: about the world of craft spirits. I'm sure you've seen

1294
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 1: that there's been an explosive growth and whiskey and bourbon

1295
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: and a lot of different subjects that New Beer doesn't

1296
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,680
Speaker 1: exactly in beers and wines, and we believe that that's

1297
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:57,240
Speaker 1: an example of something that we can bring a real lifestyle, entertainment,

1298
01:07:57,320 --> 01:08:00,200
Speaker 1: story driven approach to. But we're also in a bling

1299
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 1: commerce and that's a big part of what we're doing.

1300
01:08:02,920 --> 01:08:05,560
Speaker 1: Um at n b t V is is essentially looking

1301
01:08:05,560 --> 01:08:09,520
Speaker 1: at video as short form categories that range from spirits

1302
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: to comedy, to science, to technology to entertainment, and really

1303
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,719
Speaker 1: looking at a way to create a connect a connection

1304
01:08:17,840 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 1: to being able to buy what you see and to

1305
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 1: not have interruptive advertising, to actually get away from the

1306
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:28,759
Speaker 1: thirty second sixty second interruptions that so many people today,

1307
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: especially in the connected consumer world, has come to skip

1308
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: or ignore to do something else. And and part of

1309
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 1: what I think makes this very unique is that we

1310
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 1: work with major consumer brands as well as major celebrities,

1311
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,640
Speaker 1: um and entertainment companies, and we really sit at that

1312
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 1: nexus of advertising and entertainment. So we're hearing it on

1313
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: the advertising side saying they want a more effective way,

1314
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: more entertainment driven way to connect with consumers, and we're

1315
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: hearing it on the entertainment side saying, you know, people

1316
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,880
Speaker 1: are really, you know, kind of tired of the same old,

1317
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:00,599
Speaker 1: same old. So I think this new front year allows

1318
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: us to experiment and really try some new and unique

1319
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:06,680
Speaker 1: ways to to basically provide content to people that is

1320
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: very targeted, high quality, and then has the ability for

1321
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 1: you to connect directly with the brand. Now you've now

1322
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: you've gotten him board with a fantastic I want to

1323
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:21,599
Speaker 1: call him my friend, brilliant comedian, brilliant social phenomenon, Kevin Harten.

1324
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,960
Speaker 1: What is the business platform that you're creating with him

1325
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 1: in the entertainment arena. Well, Kevin's a fantastic comedian, as

1326
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: you mentioned, and a really great person. We've been working

1327
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: with Kevin and a variety of capacities, mostly as it

1328
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 1: relates to his branded and integrated content over the last

1329
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 1: five years. And we've been working with Kevin throughout his

1330
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: career and obviously watching him explode into a superstar. Uh

1331
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 1: and and really you know somebody that that spans the

1332
01:09:50,439 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 1: social sphere in a way that I think very very

1333
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: few celebrities can. And so we've been working with Kevin

1334
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:58,680
Speaker 1: on on some new things that he's working on, some

1335
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 1: of which I can't get into. D can't yet, But

1336
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,920
Speaker 1: there's some big announcements coming from him, um in this

1337
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,479
Speaker 1: space that I think everyone will be really excited about.

1338
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 1: But let me ask you this now, when once the

1339
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:10,880
Speaker 1: announcement has happened, can I bring you back on the show,

1340
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 1: Nick too. It's we can talk about the process because

1341
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 1: that's what because that's what people want to know. People

1342
01:10:16,439 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 1: want to know, And I know a lot of times,

1343
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 1: like you said, when you're when you're planning deals, you

1344
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: can't announce it for the deals that hit the screen

1345
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: because that just ruins potentially everything advertisement opportunity, sponsor advertising

1346
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 1: ratings opportunities and everything but the key is in your

1347
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: world that you're creating. You're a creator, correct, Yes, yes,

1348
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 1: we we created. We actually have a talent management group

1349
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: and we also distribute it. So for us, this is

1350
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 1: the the the distribution platform of new Buzz TV and

1351
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: the channels that will be launching is really the three

1352
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:50,839
Speaker 1: three sixty degree approach to coming up with big ideas,

1353
01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 1: physically producing them, connecting talent to them, and distributing them

1354
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 1: on on all platforms. Awesome, Well, man, Nick, I want

1355
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: to apologize for the what we got this if you started, uh,

1356
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 1: because problems. I need to keep talking to you, man.

1357

1407
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,719
Speaker 1: on the radio show, I just love to talk about

1408
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:48,240
Speaker 1: your career, Kenny, because of the fact that you're a

1409
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 1: performer and a lot of people don't know because they

1410
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:53,720
Speaker 1: hear the music, but they don't connect the dots that

1411
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 1: that that you wrote that song. Uh, is that important

1412
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,559
Speaker 1: to you or it is? As long as you get

1413
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 1: to check it's all good. Um, you know, it's it's

1414
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 1: I think it's important, but I don't. It's still not

1415
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 1: something that I've run around talking about every day. But

1416
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, as long as ultimate, I think people are

1417
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:14,479
Speaker 1: starting to kind of put it together absolutely because you've

1418
01:14:14,479 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 1: been on the you've been on the road. That's when

1419
01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 1: I put it together. It's it's it's it's really crazy.

1420
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 1: I just had Anthony Hamilton's on the on the on

1421
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,280

Speaker 1: because when when? Because that's how because that is such

1429
01:14:44,840 --> 01:14:48,760
Speaker 1: a natural thing that you do with your lyrics, you know,

1430
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:52,479
Speaker 1: you know, you know, how do you what is the process?

1431
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:54,080

1432
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 1: get excited because we got a lot to talk about it.

1433
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,759
Speaker 1: I'm glad you made time to do my show because

1434
01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 1: of the fact that you are a genius. You are

1435
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 1: a person that R and B hits, pop hits. You know,

1436
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 1: you cross all genres as a producer. What what what

1437
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:17,200
Speaker 1: makes Katy baby Face Emmon's tick? Well, you know you

1438
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 1: mentioned like like with um with Anthony, like coming up

1439
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 1: with that line, that line wouldn't it wouldn't exist without Anthony,

1440
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 1: meaning that when I hung out with him and was

1441
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:36,160
Speaker 1: just talking with him, is like that's how he talks. Yeah,

1442
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 1: So I just I just took up on people and

1443
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:44,639
Speaker 1: and and say what they would say. And uh, because

1444
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 1: that's kind of like where you get it from. You

1445
01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 1: watch people and you hear you hear music and lyrics

1446
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 1: all the time if you just watch and listen. Now

1447
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:54,599
Speaker 1: here's a great thing about it. I want to say.

1448
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,680
Speaker 1: Would you say that the Grammy is the is the

1449
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 1: ultimate music award? Is that correct? And I say that, Uh, yeah,

1450
01:16:02,880 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: it's it's it's kind of like the Oscars, the Oscars

1451
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,320
Speaker 1: of music kind of like the No Question. It's like

1452
01:16:08,360 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 1: the Oscars for a musician. Right, So, because you got

1453
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 1: twenty six album as a producer, I only have eleven,

1454
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,400
Speaker 1: mean eleven. You've got twenty six number one R and

1455
01:16:16,400 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 1: B hits, twenty eleven grammars. Okay, I apologize now. To

1456
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 1: get that means that there has to be a level

1457
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:24,680
Speaker 1: of consistency and trust. And when people come to you,

1458
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 1: do they come to you with any level of expectations? Um,

1459
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: they come, I think at this particular point they I

1460
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:36,280
Speaker 1: don't know if they come with thinking that then necessarily

1461
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 1: going to get a hit per se. They come to

1462
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 1: get quality, real song, um and so and and and

1463
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:47,719
Speaker 1: hoping that that ultimately turns into something. But I think

1464
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 1: so the days of where people kind of just at

1465
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:54,320
Speaker 1: least coming to me, they don't. They're coming not coming

1466
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: to me thinking they're gonna get this huge hit song.

1467
01:16:56,520 --> 01:17:00,799
Speaker 1: We come in search of a song. They're being said,

1468
01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 1: because you were recently inducted into the Songwriters Hall of

1469
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: Fame right in June. Now, now when you was inducted

1470
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 1: to that that that's like that that's that's that's that's

1471
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: like the well he was on the thirteen using you

1472
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 1: have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and

1473
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 1: now you're into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. So those

1474
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: are those equal? Or what means more to you? Songwriters

1475
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: means more than the Hollywood start, no question? And why

1476
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:31,839
Speaker 1: is that? Because that's what I am on a songwriter.

1477
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily consider myself a star and consider myself

1478
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 1: a songwriter. But you but you also a performer, and

1479
01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:41,160
Speaker 1: that that's key too. So so when you're making that well,

1480
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: I guess what. I met you when you was performer

1481
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: way back in the day. But now then you went

1482
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 1: to become a songwriter, you know, and all that, So

1483
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 1: what what what? What keeps that balance going? Because you're

1484
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 1: a special guy. And I say that, and I hope

1485
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm not embarrassing you would I say that because of

1486
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:57,920
Speaker 1: the fact that you do incredible things with music. You

1487
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 1: affect how people live their lives. Your songs come on

1488
01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: the radio and they change, they can change how I

1489
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:06,320
Speaker 1: feel in a given day. That's that's amazing to have

1490
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 1: that quality, don't you think, No question. I mean, that's

1491
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,040
Speaker 1: that's how music has always affected me. And that's why

1492
01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 1: I love being a part of it. You know, I

1493
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: love writing it. So it's it is certainly something that

1494
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,799
Speaker 1: that you feel proud of and and because of Because

1495
01:18:22,800 --> 01:18:25,760
Speaker 1: of writing music and what I've done, it's it's put

1496
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 1: me in situations, you know, with with amazing people and

1497
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 1: people that I grew up you know, uh, listening to

1498
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 1: and was a fan of people that I looked up to.

1499
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:38,639

Speaker 1: of Stevie wonder Er. I can call Stevie a friend

1502
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,639
Speaker 1: and and that's that's all because you know, it's really

1503
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,680
Speaker 1: because I listened to him and I learned how to

1504
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:53,800
Speaker 1: write music. You know, I learned what was important, the

1505
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: importance of what you're doing. Now when you're on tour, now,

1523
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:17,760
Speaker 1: here's the deal with my radio show, and like I'm

1524
01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 1: also I heart um podcast as well. This is what

1525
01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:24,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna play back as well. Is that what I

1526
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,879
Speaker 1: was trying to say is that I don't want to say,

1527
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:29,800
Speaker 1: because you're so talented, how do you break it down

1528
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:32,760
Speaker 1: to somebody trying to get in the field that you

1529
01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:41,639
Speaker 1: have mastered? Kenny? I think ultimately what gets you there

1530
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 1: our songs, Yes, sir, it's like you know, when you

1531
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 1: write a good song, and when you write a great

1532
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: song and it's a great melody and uh and and

1533
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:54,640
Speaker 1: the track feels good and everything feels good about it.

1534
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:59,720
Speaker 1: People find it. So in our reality, you know, you're

1535
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,160
Speaker 1: a credit card. Is your songwriting? You know, that's what

1536
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 1: gets you in the door. It's not I was writing.

1537
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 1: I've been writing songs on my life and so and

1538
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:12,240
Speaker 1: initially when I was writing songs, I wasn't writing the

1539
01:21:12,360 --> 01:21:15,960
Speaker 1: right ones. I wasn't. I wasn't getting the attention because

1540
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:17,960
Speaker 1: I needed to. I needed to fix some things I needed.

1541
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:21,759
Speaker 1: It wasn't catchy enough. It wasn't it wasn't touching people,

1542
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:24,639
Speaker 1: and so I kept having to go back to the

1543
01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 1: you know, drawing board and start over again. And that's

1544
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: and to this day, that's what I do. I'll write

1545
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 1: songs and write work on them forever till I can

1546
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 1: get them right. So it's, you know, whenever anybody's ever

1547
01:21:38,240 --> 01:21:40,519
Speaker 1: you know, trying to figure that out. Ultimately, it comes

1548
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 1: down to are you writing a great song? Are you

1549
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 1: making something that everybody wants to listen to and everybody

1550
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:49,240
Speaker 1: wants to sing along with our group with whatever, for

1551
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:52,320
Speaker 1: whatever it is, And that's that's the key, and that

1552
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 1: the key is that you also now working on a

1553
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:58,760
Speaker 1: new album. Correct, Yes, I am okay, what drives this

1554
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: next album, but it most you know what thought of

1555
01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 1: it does anything trigger you to say, I gotta do

1556
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:07,679
Speaker 1: this album because I have something I want to say. Well,

1557
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:09,479
Speaker 1: you know, I'm out on the road a lot, and

1558
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:12,240
Speaker 1: and I feel like new music is great when you

1559
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 1: can have the right kind of new music. You can't

1560
01:22:15,040 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 1: just cut music just for sake of I got a

1561
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:19,559
Speaker 1: new album. You gotta do something that you that you

1562
01:22:19,600 --> 01:22:21,640
Speaker 1: feel like it's gonna that that people are looking for

1563
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 1: and they want to feel and then they want to

1564
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:25,519
Speaker 1: have and they help them have a good time or

1565
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 1: you know. So I think being out on the road

1566
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:31,200
Speaker 1: helps you figure kind of that out what your audience

1567
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 1: wants from you and and and so that helps it

1568
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 1: to that extent you could you could easily not try

1569
01:22:37,720 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 1: to do any new music. And and a lot of

1570
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: times people aren't necessarily ready to hear new music from

1571
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,680
Speaker 1: their their favorite artists. Um, yeah, because you pay the

1572
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 1: ticket based on what you heard correctly, so so you know,

1573
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:56,000
Speaker 1: so it's it is as much a thing today is

1574
01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:58,920
Speaker 1: trying to write that right song that makes the difference

1575
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:01,639
Speaker 1: that they're open with it very healing and create create

1576
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:04,439
Speaker 1: new new space. Now I have to be honest with you,

1577
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:07,559
Speaker 1: it's a lot easier to do that on a new

1578
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 1: artist that hasn't had that shot yet, where people are

1579
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,040
Speaker 1: more willing to listen to because they may because they

1580
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: haven't heard got anything from them. So so hence I

1581
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:19,640
Speaker 1: still write and do things for other artists to this

1582
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 1: day and and and always will. And that's called multiple

1583
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 1: strains of income. Correct, Yes, as long as you're doing

1584
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:29,720
Speaker 1: it with every with everybody else. The whole thing is

1585
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 1: I always said I don't want to have all my

1586
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: eggs in one basket. That's what love talking about. Hey, Kenny,

1606
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:42,400

1607
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 1: on that one. Can't we talk? Kevin Tavera, dude, the

1608
01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:52,280
Speaker 1: do you do you get what some people say? Do

1609
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:54,720
Speaker 1: you ever hear about block? You said, man, but I

1610
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:56,680
Speaker 1: think what you told me was that you listen to

1611
01:24:56,720 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 1: people and that helps you be creative. Is that just that?

1612
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 1: Just that key? That's the care you just you just

1613
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:06,479
Speaker 1: listen to everyone, watch everyone, listen to everything, and that's

1614
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: where you get. That's where you get the ideas, and

1615
01:25:09,439 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 1: that's that's like when they say, you know when a

1616
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: good a great actors when they listen to the other

1617
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,840
Speaker 1: person and you react naturally, not to the line of

1618
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: what that person does, and that creates creates a great scene.

1619
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 1: Now when you when you put together music, when I

1620
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:24,680
Speaker 1: when I saw you, when I when I've seen you

1621
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: on stage three times, and I've been fortunate enough to

1622
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:29,759
Speaker 1: book you one time, so I've come as a customer

1623
01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 1: twice to see you. And the beauty of that is

1624
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:35,559
Speaker 1: that I get to see an artist who's having a

1625
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:40,839
Speaker 1: good time. Man, and explained that experience of being on stage,

1626
01:25:40,880 --> 01:25:43,760
Speaker 1: because you look like you having a great time on stage. Man,

1627
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:47,840
Speaker 1: talk to me about that. Well, I mean, you can't

1628
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:49,879
Speaker 1: help but that a good time when when when everybody

1629
01:25:49,880 --> 01:25:54,679
Speaker 1: else is having a good time, you know that's uh,

1630
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 1: I mean that that's a big, big part of it is, Um,

1631
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:00,519
Speaker 1: if you wouldn't be having a good time, the audience

1632
01:26:00,520 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: looks like they having a good time, and you you're

1633
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 1: gonna want to get off as soon as you can.

1634
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:09,160
Speaker 1: But but I think when we go through through the songs,

1635
01:26:09,200 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 1: and you know, something else happens when you hit the stage,

1636
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 1: You've become something else from someone else. And uh, and

1637
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:20,680
Speaker 1: it's and the music takes over and and and the

1638
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:25,000
Speaker 1: the stories, the songs, the it's it's um, it takes

1639
01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:28,439
Speaker 1: you back to a time and I watched it take

1640
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:31,719
Speaker 1: people back to their two special times in their lives

1641
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:33,720
Speaker 1: where they're in love or not in love, or whether

1642
01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 1: it was hurt or not hurt um and all those

1643
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:39,760
Speaker 1: things kind of make a difference. And so you know,

1644
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:42,280
Speaker 1: at that particular point you're connecting let me, let me

1645
01:26:42,320 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 1: as this is the music though, is we have that

1646
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 1: strong digital world we live in now, today's social media

1647
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:51,280
Speaker 1: world we live now in now today? Has that changed

1648
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 1: how you approach your music? Only it changes it in

1649
01:26:55,960 --> 01:27:00,080
Speaker 1: the sense of you're maybe a little more aware of

1650
01:27:00,120 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 1: how people talk and how people say things. People say

1651
01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 1: things differently, So so as you're writing not so much

1652
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 1: for myself, but as I'm writing for someone that might

1653
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:12,719
Speaker 1: be younger than might because I'm gonna people. People ultimately

1654
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 1: only go for songs that they feel that they think

1655
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:18,200
Speaker 1: are honest. So you can't give one song to another

1656
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:21,240
Speaker 1: person that that that it doesn't seem like their personality.

1657
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:24,000
Speaker 1: It just because it doesn't feel real and and and

1658
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 1: that's important to you. Correct, Yeah, well, because it's it's

1659
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: important because if it's because you know, if people don't

1660
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:33,280
Speaker 1: feel like it's real and they're not gonna they're not

1661
01:27:33,280 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 1: gonna like it, ask you just because it's just me talking. Okay, Kenny,

1662
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 1: is that when I see when I when I watched

1663
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:41,719
Speaker 1: when I went to your show, it was like watching

1664
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:44,559
Speaker 1: a collection of okay with you, the greatest hits, okay,

1665
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:47,599
Speaker 1: your your greatest hits and other hits that you produced

1666
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 1: and written over the years. Okay, I see a Broadway,

1667
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:55,599
Speaker 1: I see Motown, I see Mama Mia. Is there any

1668
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:59,400
Speaker 1: talk or even cross your mind of taking your collection

1669
01:27:59,479 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 1: of a maze using songs? And because they touched so

1670
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:06,800
Speaker 1: many emotions and they all tell stories to Broadway, There's

1671
01:28:06,840 --> 01:28:09,320
Speaker 1: been a number of people that have kind of come

1672
01:28:09,439 --> 01:28:11,880
Speaker 1: to me here and there, and I just haven't acted

1673
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:14,920
Speaker 1: on it yet because I haven't found the right the

1674
01:28:15,040 --> 01:28:18,559
Speaker 1: hit or the right idea for um and uh. And

1675
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:19,920
Speaker 1: that's a lot of a lot of time that you

1676
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:21,519
Speaker 1: have to put into that to make that right. So

1677
01:28:22,120 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 1: and if I'm going to do it, I want to

1678
01:28:23,240 --> 01:28:25,040
Speaker 1: it's gotta be right. And it means that you have

1679
01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 1: to have time to put into it. Yeah. Cool, because

1680
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:30,400
Speaker 1: because because because it just seems like it's one of

1681
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 1: the obvious pitches and I know what you're saying, don't

1682
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 1: come to do something that's obvious. What what what's the plane?

1683
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 1: What's the story? So it makes sense to me, If

1684
01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:39,519
Speaker 1: it makes sense to me, and I got the time

1685
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:41,160
Speaker 1: to do it, and then guess what, I do it

1686
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:43,920
Speaker 1: because guess what, I'm a creative person and I know

1687
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:47,000
Speaker 1: and I understand my music history and my music legacy,

1688
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:50,599
Speaker 1: but you want to put it out there right correct? Yes? Cool?

1689
01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:52,880
Speaker 1: Now what's coming up on these tours? Man? What we're

1705
01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:41,040
Speaker 1: I come to l A. So always funny because I

1706
01:29:41,360 --> 01:29:43,400
Speaker 1: stayed in the Commental Hotel when I come to l A.

1707
01:29:44,120 --> 01:29:46,760
Speaker 1: And I would get up, everything was always magical. Every

1708
01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:48,360
Speaker 1: time I would get up and go work out in

1709
01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 1: the gym about six o'clock in the morning, Johnny Mathis

1710
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 1: was always in there working out. Funny, always in there working.

1711
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 1: We're working there with two guys. It's always with two

1712
01:29:57,720 --> 01:30:00,200
Speaker 1: guys in there working out. And I had a great

1713
01:30:00,240 --> 01:30:03,040
Speaker 1: conversation with him, man. And and the fact that you're

1714
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:05,479
Speaker 1: telling me today you're working with it means that guess what,

1715
01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:08,760
Speaker 1: He's a machine and he has something today he has

1716
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:11,280
Speaker 1: to say. So when we look at somebody like Johnny Mathis,

1717
01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:13,800
Speaker 1: what when you start talking about music, because you see

1718
01:30:13,840 --> 01:30:16,559
Speaker 1: you listen to them, what what what? What? What? What

1719
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 1: are you trying to convey us? A writer for him? Well, unfortunately,

1720
01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:25,680
Speaker 1: the Johnny Mathis Project is an album that worked with

1721
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:29,760
Speaker 1: Claude David song where we put together uh songs of

1722
01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:34,040
Speaker 1: the past in the past twenty years. So he's doing

1723
01:30:34,040 --> 01:30:36,160
Speaker 1: the song, he's done, He's doing like I believe I

1724
01:30:36,200 --> 01:30:39,320
Speaker 1: can fly. He's doing like he raised me up right,

1725
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:42,519
Speaker 1: and he's uh so, he's he's done a collection of

1726
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:46,439
Speaker 1: songs about ten songs where he's singing any songs, any soundings.

1727
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:51,559
