Speaker 1: Welcome to Carefully Reckless, the production of Our Heart Radio
Speaker 1: and the Black Effect. And just like that, we're back
Speaker 1: on the air. Welcome to yet another episode of Carefully Reckless.
Speaker 1: It's your Girl. Just hilarious. And this topic will forever
Speaker 1: be debatable because if it's one thing our people, meaning
Speaker 1: the black community, likes to do, it's go toe to toe,
Speaker 1: flow with the flow, and they love to debate on ship.
Speaker 1: So grab your tea in your halls because it's story
Speaker 1: time today. I got two stories, very interesting. The first one,
Speaker 1: I was sitting at a black owned restaurant beautiful. I'm
Speaker 1: talking about superb. The ambiance is everything. It's in Baltimore City,
Speaker 1: downtown near Harbor East, right. It's called Black Swan b
Speaker 1: l K Swan. Now, Black Swan has only been open
Speaker 1: for a matter of weeks and they're already booked up
Speaker 1: with reservations all throughout the summer. So it's hard to
Speaker 1: get in there unless you jest him saying, unless you
Speaker 1: get care But y'all ain't me, so y'all gonna get
Speaker 1: in at the end of this year. Right. So I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there, I'm chilling. It's a table next to me
Speaker 1: full of females. Now they know who I am, they speak,
Speaker 1: we take pictures. Everything's cool, But I hear them running
Speaker 1: their mouth about the prices of the food. This is
Speaker 1: what the girl said, verbatim. Who the funk they think
Speaker 1: gonna pay forty two dollars for a salmon? Nobody's paying
Speaker 1: forty two dollars from the salmon, Like I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1: They're tripping. They're tripping her home girl said, what the
Speaker 1: type ship? Day on? It's thirteen dollars for a shot
Speaker 1: of Henny. Now listen, I said there, I ate my food.
Speaker 1: I ain't say ship. You know I'm not too nosy
Speaker 1: because I listen, I've been there before as well, just
Speaker 1: not in a black owned restaurant. I say this ship
Speaker 1: about white restaurants. The funk I'm talking about five star
Speaker 1: Michelin restaurants. I say this ship. But nevertheless, I've been there,
Speaker 1: so I didn't say ship. Their bill came, they all
Speaker 1: complained purposely about food not being cooked right, that they
Speaker 1: ate that they never sent back just so they can
Speaker 1: get a discount off of their fucking food. When I
Speaker 1: tell you, that ship makes me so sick to my stomach.
Speaker 1: It discussed me that that happened. I ain't say ship
Speaker 1: I was piste off about it. I did damn sure
Speaker 1: of telling they asked when they got the funk up
Speaker 1: and left. I called their waiter over and I called
Speaker 1: the manager over to. I said, it was nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with them girls food. That's why they didn't send it back.
Speaker 1: It was nothing wrong with the drinks. That's why they
Speaker 1: didn't send it back. They didn't feel like they should
Speaker 1: have had to pay that much. Because this is a
Speaker 1: black establishment. That's another form of tearing down your own
Speaker 1: fucking people. It's not about bullying all the time. It's
Speaker 1: not about that that got under my skin, all right.
Speaker 1: Story number two cool. I'm from Baltimore City, home of
Speaker 1: the crab. We love crabs on some of crab legs,
Speaker 1: blue Crab snow Crab, king Crab, we love it all right.
Speaker 1: It's a crab spot. All over Baltimore crab spots, but
Speaker 1: it's one particular one that I liked going too. I
Speaker 1: used to like going there. Their business hours are Monday
Speaker 1: through Sunday. The hours are different, but the business days
Speaker 1: remain the same. Right I go on a Monday afternoon,
Speaker 1: it's a sign up in the door, be back at
Speaker 1: two pm. Had to run out. Cool, come back two pm.
Speaker 1: Nobody there. This is strange. I called, Hey, let it
Speaker 1: go to voicemail. I see people in there, though, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I see people heads moving around
Speaker 1: and ship. They ain't asking the phone. Cool, whatever, I leave.
Speaker 1: This is how bad I wanted these fucking crabs, y'all.
Speaker 1: Crabs in Baltimore are like crawfishing New Orleans. That's how
Speaker 1: it is, like. That's how deeply in love we are
Speaker 1: with crabs and ship. I came back five pm. The
Speaker 1: door was still locked. I called this time they answered.
Speaker 1: I say, oh, y'all gotta sign on the door that
Speaker 1: said that y'all would be back at two pm. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: it was definitely a family, like we are we closed today?
Speaker 1: Why the funk wouldn't you say that? Then? Why wouldn't
Speaker 1: you put that ship on the door. And if you
Speaker 1: had definitely the family, why the funk? Y'all in there
Speaker 1: and I see y'all like I see y'all a custilet. Okay, cool?
Speaker 1: But I was so pissed because, bitch, I've been wanting
Speaker 1: crabs for three hours. Now, Subtract the crabs, all right? Cool?
Speaker 1: If it was anything anything. If it was chicken, I
Speaker 1: don't give a up. It was a black owned florist.
Speaker 1: You have to be more professional than that. Why didn't
Speaker 1: you say we're closed for the day or anything. Now
Speaker 1: we got definite family, Like, so, yeah, we closed, but
Speaker 1: you put a sign up that said you would be
Speaker 1: back at two pm. Why did I go the next
Speaker 1: day and that sign was still up there? Still up there? However,
Speaker 1: they were open, but the sign was still up. So
Speaker 1: I never even tried the door that day. The next
Speaker 1: day I went home, I called around like three, waited
Speaker 1: an hour. Called. I said, yo, like, y'all still grieving,
Speaker 1: you're still going through y'all? You know your thing or y'all.
Speaker 1: The girl said, this is the girl that hung up
Speaker 1: on me yesterday. I lied to you. Not now this
Speaker 1: Bottomore City, anything is liable to happen. I said, yes
Speaker 1: I am. She was like, yeah, well we're closed today
Speaker 1: to you hung up on me? Hung up back on me?
Speaker 1: You on me? Like, I said, alright, cool whatever. After
Speaker 1: they hung up on me, I called back to be petty,
Speaker 1: just to hang up on them and ship you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Called from a different number and just
Speaker 1: hung up on their ass like I was mad or whatever,
Speaker 1: so they knew it was me. They put two one
Speaker 1: to together, got the same voice. Voice is very distinctive. Whatever.
Speaker 1: So that's the end of that story. So those are
Speaker 1: two different stories. Okay, now we're gonna head over. It's
Speaker 1: a carefully reckless discussion. Hold up, Hold up, I know
Speaker 1: the ship getting good, but listen to just a couple
Speaker 1: of seconds of a commercial. If you love me, you'll listen.
Speaker 1: Now let's discuss this. That's two different stories. That's an
Speaker 1: upside of having a black owned business, and then that's
Speaker 1: the downside of supporting a black owned business. Okay, the
Speaker 1: first story where I was talking about black Swan, Now,
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful restaurant. If you visit Baltimore, you have
Speaker 1: to go, but you have to make your reservations, Like
Speaker 1: right now, if you want a reservation for Christmas, nigga,
Speaker 1: you better call tonight and ask the niggas do they
Speaker 1: have any reservations open for Christmas? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like it's really really nice in it's downtown, you know,
Speaker 1: surrounded by a bunch of white businesses and ship, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So, first of all, that's something
Speaker 1: big to me. I don't know if that's big to
Speaker 1: anybody else's ship is big to me because there's been
Speaker 1: a stigma put on black businesses. Majority of people think
Speaker 1: black and both white, that black businesses belong in the hood,
Speaker 1: that they only flourish in the hood, they only prosper
Speaker 1: in the hood. No, that's a stigma. That's something that
Speaker 1: we've been conditioned to fucking think. Not true at all.
Speaker 1: This is in the middle of Harbor East, surrounded by
Speaker 1: Ocean Air and Nando's and t Volls. These are nice establishment,
Speaker 1: you know, restaurants and ship you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: That's been around for years and years. The problem to
Speaker 1: me when I was sitting next to that table of
Speaker 1: black girls, that pissed me off because would you have
Speaker 1: had that same fucking energy sitting in Ruth Chris, where
Speaker 1: salmon is fifty dollars and up. You can't get no
Speaker 1: salmon for no forty nine forty seven dollars and no
Speaker 1: fucking roof, Chris. But you think, because you're in a
Speaker 1: black establishment at what it's supposed to be fift a
Speaker 1: dollars for nine, you want some McDonald's prices because we're
Speaker 1: black because because this is a black owned establishment. If
Speaker 1: you can pay a hundred and twenty dollars a plate
Speaker 1: at roof Chris, you can pay a hundred and twenty
Speaker 1: dollars a plate at Black Swan. Do you you understand what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. That's what I don't like, and it's kind
Speaker 1: of fucked up, you know, And of course I wanted
Speaker 1: to say something, but like I said, they were still human,
Speaker 1: and a lot of people are ignorant. They were ignorant
Speaker 1: to their actions. They didn't even know any fucking better.
Speaker 1: How disgusted they made the people around them. I wasn't
Speaker 1: only when I heard them, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: It was even white people in that bitch looking at
Speaker 1: them like, are you serious? Right now? Are you fucking
Speaker 1: serious complaining about a thirteen dollars shot When y'all same
Speaker 1: bitches will go and pay for a section at a
Speaker 1: club and pay for fifty for a bottle of cosami
Speaker 1: goes when you can stop by the bar, you can
Speaker 1: stop by the fucking bar and get the same bottle
Speaker 1: for under fifty dollars? Is you goofy? That ship pissed
Speaker 1: me off. Now the second story, the unprofessionalism that I
Speaker 1: experienced with the black owned crap spot. I was mad
Speaker 1: at that ship. They couldn't get past their fucking egos
Speaker 1: enough to realize we are running a business. Now. I
Speaker 1: get the death in the family, but it's so many
Speaker 1: of y'all. One of y'all couldn't cover that store, couldn't
Speaker 1: open that store. Y'all was in the fucking store. Y'all
Speaker 1: just had the door locked. You're not at a funeral, y'all.
Speaker 1: We wasn't sitting in there praying and crying, y'all. We
Speaker 1: wasn't sitting in there reminiscing about whoever died or nothing.
Speaker 1: Y'all were in their bullshitting. I can look through the
Speaker 1: door and see you guys, y'all didn't feel like opening
Speaker 1: the store. That's what it is a lot of times,
Speaker 1: and I've experienced this more than once. We have to
Speaker 1: do better as black businesses if we want better. Now.
Speaker 1: That's not in all cases, because it's dudes and don't
Speaker 1: for customers, and then there's dudes and don't for black
Speaker 1: business owners. You know what I'm saying, The dudes and
Speaker 1: the don't. The dudes prioritize your cuss to my service.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about get back to your customers as fast
Speaker 1: and quickly as you can, as respectful as you can,
Speaker 1: even if you're not having a good day. I'm not
Speaker 1: sposed to know that I'm a customer. There's a lot
Speaker 1: of attitudes that that happened, even in white businesses. Listen,
Speaker 1: I remember working at McDonald's right in the hood podcasts
Speaker 1: Cold Spring. I used to work in a drive through
Speaker 1: at a McDonald's in the hood. I never gave nobody
Speaker 1: no fucking attitude. Never, And that's when I was going
Speaker 1: through ship, going through relationship ship. I was pregnant, I
Speaker 1: was hot that and wasn't working the ice cream machine down.
Speaker 1: All the funk I was craving was ice cream and
Speaker 1: fries with extra salt. Then you understand what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: All of that, They never ever knew what the funk
Speaker 1: I was going through. Man, I got locked up all
Speaker 1: that ship. I was on the fucking run working in
Speaker 1: the window at McDonald's. Nobody ever knew any of that
Speaker 1: ship because it was always it's a great dad, McDonald's.
Speaker 1: Something to take your order? Would you like to try
Speaker 1: to mc double with the mix sauce of it? You know,
Speaker 1: I was always like that, like how y'all pull up
Speaker 1: the Chick fil a? That's how I always as was.
Speaker 1: But I had other co workers that would be like,
Speaker 1: how you doing can take? Is that all for you? Ma'am? Ma'am? Hello?
Speaker 1: Is that all? Excuse me? I can't hear Can you
Speaker 1: tell your kids? Be quiet? I'm talking about you liable
Speaker 1: to hear anything. And the motherfucking drive through in McDonald's
Speaker 1: in Baltimore City, West Baltimore City. I don't know how
Speaker 1: East get down because I don't be over there like that,
Speaker 1: But I'm from West and that happens, and I still order.
Speaker 1: I still go for my son and deal with the attitude.
Speaker 1: But why must we A lot of black people have
Speaker 1: attitudes when they fucking working at white companies. That's why
Speaker 1: we should try our best not to do it when
Speaker 1: we have our own fucking companies. It should never happen
Speaker 1: because customers don't do anything to you off the rip
Speaker 1: like you got some nasty customers. But your job is
Speaker 1: to always be professional. You can't let nobody see you sweat.
Speaker 1: That's in customer services. When you're working with the public,
Speaker 1: you must understand that they put the fucking sign on
Speaker 1: the door. False advertisement is one thing that gets up
Speaker 1: under my skin with black businesses. Stop it, stop it,
Speaker 1: stop it. I don't want to see y'all in the comments.
Speaker 1: Oh white businesses do it too, and my fucking white
Speaker 1: are you white? We're not worrying about their asses. I'm
Speaker 1: worrying about the betterment of us as a people and
Speaker 1: as black creators, as black business owners, as black CEOs.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm warring a But I'm not wearing on
Speaker 1: white people. Let them do what they do. Who cares.
Speaker 1: But when you're putting your money into your community, you
Speaker 1: are old that respect because no, I don't have to
Speaker 1: spend my money here, I can go to a white company,
Speaker 1: you know. And then when we say ship like that,
Speaker 1: we're bashed because that's the reality of how the funk
Speaker 1: we feel when we feel slighted by our own people
Speaker 1: who don't want to be professional for free. It's nothing
Speaker 1: to smile, It costs nothing to say how is your day,
Speaker 1: thank you, thanks for shopping with us, come back again.
Speaker 1: It costs nothing. And then you got your black companies
Speaker 1: who are a one and everything. I'm talking about customer service,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about food, like the restaurant Black Swan everything.
Speaker 1: Them bitches just had to find something to complain about
Speaker 1: because it was too damn good. And one of the
Speaker 1: comments is that disgusting me. Even further was a comment
Speaker 1: that one of my people made who walked in with me.
Speaker 1: When they looked around, he was like, Okay, now, let's
Speaker 1: look like a white person restaurant. This looks like the
Speaker 1: white people did it. Why the funk would that even
Speaker 1: come out your mouth? That's shipping on us. Do you
Speaker 1: not know that? Oh my god, the ignorance. You don't
Speaker 1: even know that you're shipping on us? What do you mean?
Speaker 1: What the fund does white people establishment look like? Like? What?
Speaker 1: Then does that mean like when people be like, oh,
Speaker 1: you look gay? What the fund does gay look like?
Speaker 1: What the fund does a white person establishment really look like? No?
Speaker 1: Black Swan was created by a team of black people,
Speaker 1: very close knit friends who've been in businesses for years,
Speaker 1: who've been in the business for years. You know, they
Speaker 1: waited for the right time, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: We got a lot of other black restaurants too. We
Speaker 1: got Nacho Bangers shout out to him, black owned good food.
Speaker 1: We got Poppy Cuisine that's cat and that's fella's point.
Speaker 1: That's where all the white people live. But I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna say this ship look white, this ship looks like
Speaker 1: the white people did it. We're giving them too much
Speaker 1: fucking power when we speak that ship over ourselves, and
Speaker 1: then y'all wonder why they treat us like that sometimes
Speaker 1: because we give them too much fucking power. We give
Speaker 1: them too much fucking credit. Another thing, why do we
Speaker 1: always expect discounts from my own people? And I know
Speaker 1: this is cliche, but I'm gonna keep some im gonna saying.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the hundred person to say, you will
Speaker 1: stand in the fucking Gucci line, you will stand in
Speaker 1: the Louis line. I'm talking about for hours, no appointment.
Speaker 1: You're sitting there, standing in fucking line, watching other people's shop,
Speaker 1: waiting for your turn. But let you be at a
Speaker 1: black owned boutique and somebody wait too long to come
Speaker 1: over to you. Oh my god, like I can't get
Speaker 1: no help? Like what is it? You wouldn't say that.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't dare say that to Marry Claire at fucking
Speaker 1: Louis Vuitton. You would never say that. That ship pisses
Speaker 1: me off. I hate it. Don't expect cheap product because
Speaker 1: you're putting a stigma on us. We've put the stigma
Speaker 1: on ourselves. Everything we do is is supposed to be cheap.
Speaker 1: Are we supposed to look out? Man? Look out for me? Man?
Speaker 1: Look out? Look out? How to funk? I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: my money if I'm looking out for you, It's not
Speaker 1: gonna work. I got cousins who don't want to buy
Speaker 1: my waste trainers. My doctor who waste trainers. Come on like,
Speaker 1: come on, no, And because I didn't give any out
Speaker 1: for free, they brought them from waste watchers. Ain't that
Speaker 1: a bit? You went to go buy them from somewhere else?
Speaker 1: You ain't jumping waste watchers dems? And be like, come on,
Speaker 1: can you look out for me? Can you? Can you?
Speaker 1: Because I'm your fucking cousin, you' supposed to get something
Speaker 1: for free? If I give out all my ship for free?
Speaker 1: Out of funk? Am I making money? I don't get
Speaker 1: up and go clocking every day? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Y'all got job security, y'all got jobs. I got a
Speaker 1: lot of family members with great jobs, man, because I
Speaker 1: won't give them a discount. All my ship. Bit you've
Speaker 1: got job security. You know what I'm saying, ain't no
Speaker 1: selling the Internet wiped out? What the funk I'm gonna dude,
Speaker 1: you work for the government, Bitch, you are secure as
Speaker 1: securitis can be. I's fucked up. I do not like that. Now.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I won't be a celebrity if the
Speaker 1: Internet is wiped out. But my Internet, my platform, y'all
Speaker 1: are my people. The Internet is how y'all know to
Speaker 1: listen to carefully reckless every Wednesday. The Internet is how
Speaker 1: y'all know. I sell waste trainers, and y'all know I
Speaker 1: got them on my webs site. You know I have
Speaker 1: another business launching messy pauses for canins is for dogs
Speaker 1: where I'm selling doggie clothes and um you know, doggie
Speaker 1: playpens and doggie beds and all that type of ship. Man,
Speaker 1: don't shoot on your black creators, don't shoot on black CEOs,
Speaker 1: don't shoot on black businesses. And back some time ago
Speaker 1: addressed some ship about black businesses. But it's nothing other
Speaker 1: than what the funk I'm saying now. We need to
Speaker 1: better ourselves if we want better results. I don't care
Speaker 1: if you sell makeup. If you do make up, if
Speaker 1: you you know whatever. If somebody complain about your product,
Speaker 1: don't fight them in the comments. Don't tell a bitch
Speaker 1: pull up what type of ship you on? And nobody
Speaker 1: Saphora or Mac telling somebody to pull up because somebody
Speaker 1: complained about a fucking product. No, you apologize to keep
Speaker 1: it moving. You can even do one further acts. Okay,
Speaker 1: what do you suggest I do? Because I'm telling you,
Speaker 1: your customers make you better. They're the one buying the ship.
Speaker 1: They're the ones that have to put this ship on
Speaker 1: their face. They're the ones they gotta walk out and
Speaker 1: this ship. Trust me, they're a opinions and their feedback
Speaker 1: and their suggestions matter for the betterment of our brands,
Speaker 1: for the betterment of our companies. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Your brand is everything protected, especially in your business, and
Speaker 1: we have to do better as black customers and uplift
Speaker 1: these businesses. Help them improve, help us improve. When I
Speaker 1: first started selling my waist trainers, I had a lot
Speaker 1: of complaints. I don't like the double band just and
Speaker 1: make my back fat roll up, you know, up into
Speaker 1: the back of my neck. On all that ship I
Speaker 1: listened to that ship. I didn't say, oh, bit, this
Speaker 1: ain't for you. You know what I'm saying. No, I
Speaker 1: listened and I went through six or seven fucking vendors
Speaker 1: before I found the right one waiting for samples and ship.
Speaker 1: I was ready get up and go to China my
Speaker 1: goddamn self. But you know, no, I'm not. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But yeah, I just wanted to sound
Speaker 1: like that was something I would do. And ship. No,
Speaker 1: I'm scared, you know, kind of scared to go over there.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the funk. You know, they got
Speaker 1: different bugs, Like I'm kind of scared to go to
Speaker 1: Africa because the mosquito the ship heard. Get a bit
Speaker 1: about mosquito over there, you might collapse. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's just I'm scared of the hugs in different countries.
Speaker 1: I ain't working with it. But um, that's a whole
Speaker 1: another topic for a whole another episode. The point is improvement.
Speaker 1: We need to help each other improve. You don't see
Speaker 1: Gucci putting Louis down. You don't see Boltega putting down product.
Speaker 1: You don't see that ship. You just see them copying
Speaker 1: the same different styles selling that ship because they know
Speaker 1: we're all gonna run to the fucking store and buy it.
Speaker 1: Let's do the same with our ship. Let's do the
Speaker 1: same within our companies. Now we got a commercial and
Speaker 1: if you click off of this podcast, I swear I'm
Speaker 1: gonna beat your ass. Listen. Now that brings me to
Speaker 1: Jazz fix my mess. Now, y'all know I always come
Speaker 1: to y'all to get your feedback, because you know I
Speaker 1: need that, I said on Instagram, I see a lot
Speaker 1: of black people bashing black businesses. Your take on black
Speaker 1: business bashing go Humbled and Hungry Underscore on Instagram said
Speaker 1: as a black entrepreneur, I find it very disheartening that
Speaker 1: we are so impatient with our brothers and sisters. We
Speaker 1: will wait in a McDonald's line for shitty service and
Speaker 1: keep coming back every time, knowing that we get bottom
Speaker 1: level service and mediocre product. But let a black business
Speaker 1: owner make one simple mistake, and now it's this is
Speaker 1: why I don't support black businesses. That's asked backwards. We
Speaker 1: do easily subscribe to large corporations, but when it comes
Speaker 1: to doing business with one another, it's almost as if
Speaker 1: we look for problems or reasons not to support, and
Speaker 1: you are fucking right, Chef Serenity and shout out to
Speaker 1: you because she's a chef, so she has her own
Speaker 1: black owned business as well. Chef Serenity humbled and hungry Underscore.
Speaker 1: Check out her fool y'all. I don't know where she is,
Speaker 1: but she just spoke some real ship. I have no
Speaker 1: words for that, because when you're right, you're right hot.
Speaker 1: Nina Star with two rs Underscore says, Black White, Orange,
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if the customer service is weak. I'm
Speaker 1: not supporting and don't lie and have store hours, but
Speaker 1: your store is never open. Thank you, thank you so much.
Speaker 1: That's what the funk I'm talking about, Emma, thank you, honey.
Speaker 1: That goes back to story number two. I told y'all,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that ship pisses me off. Don't do that.
Speaker 1: Don't do don't do that, dope girl, Slim says. I
Speaker 1: don't see why we can't give constructive criticism, reviews, help
Speaker 1: one another to improve, and stop putting failure and black
Speaker 1: in the same phrase. Remember what I told you about
Speaker 1: that stigma. She also said, Also, black women slash men
Speaker 1: are starting to take over the beauty industry, which once
Speaker 1: was dominated by non black people. We are raising quality
Speaker 1: and standards, so let's help each other instead of bashing.
Speaker 1: We are in a time where entrepreneurship is more accessible,
Speaker 1: which means more people are trying it and may learn
Speaker 1: that it's not for them. That's also something else I
Speaker 1: wanted to touch on. I like the end of that
Speaker 1: she said. Some people may be trying to be business
Speaker 1: owners and start their own business because it's more accessible.
Speaker 1: It's more at our fingertips than it ever was before.
Speaker 1: With the Internet and ship you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: People get these platforms and they just want to dive
Speaker 1: into entrepreneurship. It doesn't work for everybody, but let them
Speaker 1: figure that out. And also to those people, know when
Speaker 1: to get out. You have to know, you have to
Speaker 1: know what's good for you, and it takes time. And
Speaker 1: I know this is gonna sound crazy, but don't keep
Speaker 1: trying to take on a task that you are constantly
Speaker 1: failing at if you're not trying to figure out why
Speaker 1: the funk you're failing, And don't miss the message because
Speaker 1: of who said it, and I'm the one that said it.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Juju Dope girls, Slim. I like
Speaker 1: that last one. I'm gonna read getting mad at shipping
Speaker 1: from black companies, when people wait years for fashion over
Speaker 1: never giving black businesses grace, acting as if it's a
Speaker 1: chore to support black owners. Yes, that's another thing I
Speaker 1: wanted to speak on. That was the end of just
Speaker 1: fix my mess. I want to end it off on this.
Speaker 1: I like that, and we're gonna lead this right here,
Speaker 1: acting as if it's a chore to support black businesses. Now,
Speaker 1: I see a lot of people that get very upset
Speaker 1: and very irritated when people don't support black businesses. And
Speaker 1: that don't mean that they don't support the cause, they
Speaker 1: just don't buy. It's not a chore, it's not a requirement.
Speaker 1: Don't get upset. Where there is two people who won't buy,
Speaker 1: there's twenty who will. Don't focus on bashing the people
Speaker 1: who just simply won't support your business. Put all of
Speaker 1: the energy into the people who do. Put all of
Speaker 1: the energy into bettering yourself as a CEO and bettering
Speaker 1: your company, bettering your product. Always look for ways to
Speaker 1: be innovative to improve your ship. You understand what I'm saying,
