Speaker 3: What's going on?

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: Traditional universities are outdated and don't teach you how to

30
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: become an entrepreneur. They just teach you how to become

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: an employee.

32
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 5: You go to school for four years and you leave

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 5: with nothing but debt. But here are eyl University. Our

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,679

Speaker 2: you learn from professors that have never did what they teach,

38
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: and they teach you how to become an employee. At

39
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 2: our university, we use instructors that are currently successful in

40
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,840

Speaker 5: be exciting episode. We enter in the world of golf

57
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 5: for the first time ever.

58
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: It's been a while since we have even golf course.

59
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 5: A minuture golf real golf, real real. So Elijah want

60
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 5: a John a cool correctly John and Earl Cooper. So

61
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 5: this is a very interesting story. Entrepreneurs and they have

62
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 5: a company called east Side Golf where they make golf apparel.

63
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 5: They both have roots in golf. Elijah was actually a

64
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 5: professional golfer, and I just found out that Earl is

65
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 5: one of the best golf coaches in the nation. So

66
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 5: this is an interesting story. How it came about was

67
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 5: face to face hand in hand combo. We was in

68
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 5: Atlanta a few months ago and I was in a

69
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 5: hotel lobby and Earl ran up on me and they

70
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 5: started a conversation and he was telling me about his business.

71
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 5: And you know, people come up to me all the

72
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 5: time and it's like, all right, cool, but this was

73
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 5: something that really caught my attention because he showed me

74
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 5: that they were actually having a collaboration with Jordan Brand,

75
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 5: so they were taking like retro Jordan's and turning them

76
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 5: into golf shoes. So and I'm like, that's your your company,

77
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 5: and he's like yeah, he showed me like the news

78
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 5: articles and all of that, like right on the spot.

79
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 5: He's very prepared. So I'm like, all right, I gave

80
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 5: my number. I'm like, let's connect.

81
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: So this is how it related to me. Yo, there's

82
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: a golf company they signed with Jordan. I said, Jordan, Oh,

83
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 2: let's let's speak to him.

84
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 5: So we connected the dots and they were in New York,

85
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 5: so we made it happen fews later.

86
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: A lot of pressure too, like when we were in Atlanta,

87
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: they ran up on you. But then like there was

88
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: a bunch of people who I think y'all were doing

89
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 2: something in my family.

90
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 8: So we we were doing actually like an unveiling to

91
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 8: shoot family. So it was like a family and friends

92
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 8: thing where we kind of just just filming a bunch

93
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 8: of content.

94
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 2: We walked in the lobby one night and it's like

95
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 2: it's like these guys you gotta need they're doing something

96
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 2: great and golf. I'm like, it's three in morning, what's

98
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 4: Yeah?

99
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 5: But so yeah, that's a dope story.

100
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: Man.

101
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 5: You never know, Like I said, that was something that

102
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 5: he had enough courage to just run up on me

103
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 5: and he was prepared. So there's a couple of different

104
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 5: lessons in that. And I like the product. I looked

105
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 5: at it, and here we are now. So first and fun,

106
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 5: thank you Gods for joining us. Appreciate it, thanks you

Speaker 5: for having me welcome.

108
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 8: And I do want to add because like it was

109
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 8: that moment where I was like, I seen him and

110
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 8: I was like, do I say something? I am actually

111
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 8: and I was like, you know what, Noah, I forget that.

112
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 8: I'm turning around and like I said, yeah, thanks for

113
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 8: having us for sure, for sure for sure. So let's

114
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 8: get into it all right, So East Side Golf, we're

115
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 8: going to talk about where you guys are now working

116
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 8: with Jordan Brand and blowing up and all that.

117
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 5: But how did it starts? Interesting? I believe you're from Delaware, yeah,

118
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 5: and you're from Atlanta side Atlanta. So golf is not

119
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 5: a sport that black people traditionally play, you know, obviously

120
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,280
Speaker 5: this Tiger Woods, but that's kind of like an anomaly.

121
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 5: That's not like the norm, right, basketball, football, especially coming

122
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 5: from urban environments Atlanta, you know, Wilmington, Delaware and stuff

123
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 5: like that, I'm pretty sure that that golf wasn't extremely

124
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 5: popular sport. So how did you guys start playing golf

125
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,799
Speaker 5: as you know, young men, young adults.

126
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, honestly, I so I grew up in East Atlanta

127
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 9: and I started playing golf when I was six years old.

128
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 9: Friend of the family introducing me to the game. I

129
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 9: grew up with his sons playing playing golf, and we

130
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 9: all ended up getting golf scholarships to go to school.

131
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 3: So one went to.

132
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 9: Southern University golf scholarship, Telladigga College golf scholarship, but I

133
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 9: went to Morehouse with a golf scholarship.

134
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 10: So we were all on the same high school team.

135
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 9: But we just grew up in Atlanta, you know, playing

136
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 9: junior events and then playing against each other in college

137
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 9: and then yeah, I.

138
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 2: Mean, yeah, what was that like though, because I mean,

139
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: golf is not the It's one of those expensive sports

140
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: to play. Yes, it's solo sport, but its expensive to play.

141
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 2: So what was that like growing up and having to

142
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: pay for equipment and then walking around with the Stickma, Like,

143
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: you're the guy in the hood that's playing golf while

144
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: everybody's playing football, basketball, maybe some baseball players. What was

145
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: that like growing up?

146
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 3: For sure? Now it was different.

147
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 9: I mean I would say, because I played basketball just

148
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 9: as much as I played golf. And I mean I

149
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 9: played basketball league in high school. But growing up it

150
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,559
Speaker 9: was expensive, Yeah it was. But I ended up joining

151
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 9: a program called Camp Best Friends, and then later it

152
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 9: became called the First Team of Atlanta. The First Team program.

153
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 9: They supplied me with like free golf clubs you know

154
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 9: here and there also donations were given as far as

155
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 9: golf balls, golf clothes, things that we could use just

156
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 9: to help us out, you know, with with being prepared

157
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 9: when we go to golf tournaments and just coming to

158
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 9: the golf course period. You know, like there were plenty

159
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 9: of times I went to Goodwill, you know what I'm saying,

160
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 9: just to find golf clothes. And on top of that,

161
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 9: I mean I used to take the Marta with my

162
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 9: golf clubs, you know what I'm saying.

163
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: And used to ride thee through the hood I.

164
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 9: Mean with my golf club straight up to the golf course.

165
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 9: And you know, definitely got looked at crazy, you know,

166
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 9: And but I already knew what the goal was, you know,

167
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 9: and I wanted golf to be something that I used

168
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 9: for the rest of my life. You know. It got

169
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 9: to a point even in high school, had to make

170
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 9: a decision in between golf and basketball.

171
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying. That's just how much it

172
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 10: meant to me.

173
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 9: But growing up in it, I would say the best

174
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 9: part of it was learning from the people at the

175
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 9: golf course.

176
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

177
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 9: The type of crowd that's out there, it's usually like entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers.

178
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 10: People that just have things going on.

179
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 9: And I mean, you start a conversation with a guy

180
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 9: instead of asking them for you know, to go out

181
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 9: with them for coffee or for a drink or just

182
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 9: to chill or set to talk.

183
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 10: I mean, you got five hours with the guy out

184
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 10: on the golf course.

185
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 9: Now you can, you know, talk about what you want

186
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 9: to do with your life, what you want to do

187
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 9: in your career. I mean, and on top of that,

188
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 9: you outside like it's just a way to build that camaraderie,

189
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 9: that relationship and learn how to build that relationship. Well,

190
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,839
Speaker 9: you get relationship building skills from just being in golf,

191
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 9: and it definitely did help me growing up.

192
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that that's something that people don't fully appreciate,

193
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 5: especially like you know, poor working class, middle class people,

194
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 5: where you are trained to go to a school and

195
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 5: then work and it's like you work at a job

196
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 5: all day. And when I started to become around wealthy

197
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 5: people and I realized that they were spending like eight

198
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 5: hours a day, three days a week on the golf

199
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 5: course because it wasn't so much about working, it was

200
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 5: about networking and building relationships. And they say, like the

201
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 5: barbershop is like the black Man's golf course is really

202
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 5: not country club. It's really not. It's a barbershop. Look

203
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 5: disrespect it's a barbershop. But I get it the conversations

204
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 5: that's happening, because I don't think people understand, especially like

205
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 5: you know, you go to a high end golf course,

206
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,959
Speaker 5: you could be paying one hundred twenty thousand dollars a

207
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 5: year for your annual membership, like fifty thousand dollars a year,

208
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 5: sixty thousand dollars a year for your annual So if

209
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 5: you're paying one hundred thousand dollars a year to use

210
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 5: the golf course in New York four months out the year,

211
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 5: five months out of the year. You're obviously extremely wealthy, right,

212
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 5: So now it's like, if you have six hours to

213
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 5: just spend time with people, you're naturally gonna build a relationship, right,

214
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 5: So can you really break that down it really? Because,

215
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 5: like I said, I don't think if you haven't been

216
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 5: in that world, it's hard for you to fully understand

217
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 5: why people say that golfing is like the perfect networking too,

218
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 5: and why a lot of deals are done on the

219
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 5: golf course. So can you kind of like just break

220
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 5: that down a little bit?

221
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, I would say so just to go off of

222
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 9: what you just said about one hundred thousand dollars membership fee,

223
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 9: imagine the type of people that have that membership.

224
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

225
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 9: Now, you're going out there and these are the people

226
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 9: that you're networking with. These are the people that are

227
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 9: in your circle that move, that have things, move in

228
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 9: the city, or just move around the country period. You

229
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 9: never know what business they own, you know what I'm saying,

230
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 9: what they're invested in, or maybe you could actually work

231
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 9: with them at some point in time, but breaking it

232
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 9: down all the way. I mean, let's say you, like

233
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 9: I said, you want to go out for coffee. This

234
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 9: is a time where you take you want to go

235
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 9: with your let's say a person that you look up

236
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 9: to or friends, and you just want a network, you know,

237
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 9: for an hour and just talk round table discussion. Instead

238
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 9: of doing that, if you pick up golf, now it's

239
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 9: those people in those higher positions, they will take that

240
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 9: four hours and go play golf, which instead of taking

241
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 9: an hour out of their day and just going to

242
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,839
Speaker 9: get coffee. I mean, you're actually doing something that they

243
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 9: want to do. And on top of that, golf relates

244
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 9: to business a lot. I mean, when you really look

245
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 9: at it, you have to be patient, hard working, I

246
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 9: would say, perseverance, honesty. All of these things are in golf.

247
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 9: But if you don't do these things in golf, and

248
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 9: you're playing golf with somebody that you want to do

249
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 9: business with, and let's say you're not resembling those those morals,

250
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 9: those those adjectives or whatever you want to call them

251
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 9: about yourself, they're gonna notice and not even want to

252
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 9: do business with you.

253
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: You know.

254
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 9: I mean, let's say you cheat or something while you're

255
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 9: on a golf course or take head to that, they

256
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 9: gonna think you're gonna do the same thing in business,

257
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 9: you know, So it's like just the same way a

258
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 9: person plays golf, you might get really really upset. You

259
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 9: might not want that in your business, same way they

260
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 9: might look at you in business. Golf and business just

261
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 9: go hand in hand. So I mean that's just the

262
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 9: way that I kind of look at it, if you yeah, yeah, yeah.

263
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 5: All right. So before we get into the company, Earl,

264
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 5: how did you get your start in golf?

265
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 3: Inner City? You've golf programmed?

266
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,199
Speaker 8: My dad just seen a fly, just sign me up,

267
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 8: just signed me and my sister up, and kind of,

268
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 8: you know, similar to what y'all were hitting on early on,

269
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 8: like just being out on the golf course being the

270
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 8: only one you know. There's definitely like I tell people

271
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 8: all the time, like I was good at it, but

272
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 8: it was still kind of one of those things like

273
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 8: where all my friends, like where everybody you know, when

274
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 8: you're young, especially playing like sports, you're just really out

275
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 8: there for the social aspect, like you don't think about, oh,

276
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 8: making millions of dollars or whatever what it can do

277
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 8: for you.

278
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 3: Unlock the potential.

279
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 8: But I ended up winning this tournament called the Golf

280
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 8: and Drive Chip and Putt, which is like the equivalent

281
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 8: of kick putting pass essentially exactly.

282
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 4: Yep.

283
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 8: So I end up winning that and a free trip

284
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 8: to Disney World. I was on TV and I never forget.

285
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 8: I was like thirteen, and I'm like, man, if every

286
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 8: golf to him is like this, I'm ready to practice.

287
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 8: Because like before then it was just like, you know,

288
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 8: it was kind of just golf. Who wants to do

289
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 8: that kind of thing? And then that's when I kind

290
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 8: of just embraced it. And then from there God was

291
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 8: fortunate enough to get a scholarship the Moroles College. But

292
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 8: it was definitely interesting path. As you guys were mentioned earlier,

293
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 8: just like walking with golf clubs, you know what I mean,

294
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 8: Like that's just not normal still even today. Like if

295
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 8: you saw a kid or a girl, a young man

296
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 8: and boy walking with golf cluse, You're like, yo, they're lost,

297
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 8: Like is there a golf course around here? And so

298
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 8: it was just kind of one of those things where

299
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 8: so my pops end up actually like we end up

300
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 8: moving to a house that was like on the golf

301
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 8: course and end up like cutting a hole in the fence,

302
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 8: so I didn't have to like climbing anymore, and that

303
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 8: definitely was a benefit, you know, my journey as far

304
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 8: as like just getting into the game and then just

305
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 8: kind of normalize. And I think that's kind of where

306
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 8: we are right now, like a lot of every decisions

307
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 8: that we make when we think about the company and

308
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 8: just kind of think about like what did we wish

309
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 8: that we had, you know what I mean when we

310
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 8: were growing up, Like giving them that example, like being

311
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 8: that like stuff that you can wear on and off

312
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 8: the golf course, you know what I mean. That's so

313
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 8: important because a lot of times it's just like it's

314
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 8: golf and it's just kind of put in a box.

315
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 8: And then you got to kind of fight those stereotypes

316
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 8: moving forward. And then, like you said earlier, when it

317
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 8: just comes to business, it's just one of those things

318
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 8: where it's a sport where like it's just you, and

319
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 8: so it's kind of like that you got to go

320
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 8: get it like you and you can't blame anybody else,

321
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 8: Like there's no reason like to push off on anybody else.

322
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,280
Speaker 8: It's all of you. You put the work in, you

323
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 8: get all the results. But it's similar to like entrepreneurship,

324
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 8: I would say, kind of in that way. And I

325
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 8: feel like that's why a lot of great people and

326
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 8: other sports are attracted to golf, because it's like if

327
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 8: you play football, you can blame it on your lineman,

328
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 8: you know, MJ. You know, Damn Scotty ain't giving me

329
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 8: the ball back or whatever, you know, whatever the situation

330
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 8: may be, it's just kind of like all on you

331
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 8: and most people that you know, if you've been playing

332
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 8: team sports your whole life, you like the individual list.

333
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 3: I guess when it comes to golf.

334
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: Now, you said something good about normalizing it, and Elijah,

335
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: I'm coming to you because I read this story. Man,

336
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 2: I'd love for you to elaborate on it where you

337
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 2: talked about how instead of having basketball and gambling on dice,

338
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 2: the guys are gambling on your putts. Yeah, let's let's

339
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: talk about that, man, he said, Landa. First of all,

340
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: we'll be playing and how are we gambling on putts? Well,

341
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: let's talk about that.

342
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

343
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 9: So I played in a couple of courses what was

344
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 9: called Sugar Creek Golf Courses, A Boulder Chris Road of

345
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 9: your Gucci man, yell out Boulder Crest, you know, but

346
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 9: it's right off Boulder Crest. Another place that I played

347
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 9: Doctor J You sown it. It was called Heritage Links

348
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 9: and that was in Georgia as well.

349
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 5: But there's a there's a golf course in Kirkwood that

350
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 5: we stayed in the airbnbing Kirkwood. It was honestly that

351
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 5: the neighborhoods getting real gentified and it was a really

352
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 5: nice I forgot, but it was. It was like like

353
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 5: one block down on the same street. It was a

354
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 5: golf course.

355
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

356
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 9: But so usually how it went, I mean, you ended

357
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 9: up playing eighteen holes. You know what I'm saying. It's

358
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 9: gambling involved, but the real gambling. I would say in

359
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 9: my younger days, King, you got to the clubhouse. So

360
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 9: you're getting the clubhouse, everybody drinking. They got like a

361
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 9: little cognyak glass, you know what I'm saying. You put

362
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 9: it down and when they put it down, it's open

363
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 9: on this side. So now you're putting into the glass

364
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 9: and let's say somebody comes out and throw a thousand

365
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 9: on the ground, Like all right, it's twenty feet, what's up?

366
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 9: You got a two tries? You know, you've missed. That's

367
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 9: a thousand, you know what I'm saying. But it got

368
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 9: to a point I used to literally make my lunch money,

369
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying from these putts.

370
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 3: They would, you know.

371
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 9: We betting two grand, betting five hundred, They give me half,

372
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying. And these were the guys

373
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 9: that I grew up around. I mean, you know, some

374
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 9: of them weren't entrepreneurs. They were entrepreneurs in their own way,

375
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying. And they was, you know,

376
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 9: always took care of them themselves and their family in

377
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 9: their own way. But when it came to golf, I mean,

378
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 9: they enjoyed the sport. They saw where you can build

379
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 9: camaraderie and you and you can build those relationships and

380
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 9: it not be strenuous or feel some type of way

381
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 9: while you're doing it. But while we was in there,

382
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,679
Speaker 9: you know, everybody just betting. It's a full crowd, thirty

383
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 9: people butting. It's twenty feet putting in side of the glass.

384
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 3: You make it.

385
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 9: I mean sometimes a lot of times you hit the glass.

386
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 9: I mean that's it. It's almost been fistfights, you know

387
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 9: what I'm saying, Because it hit the back of the

388
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 9: glass and come out, you know what I'm saying. But

389
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 9: it's I mean, damn, it's like dice, you know what

390
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 9: I'm saying. You just got to be prepared for anything.

391
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 9: And on top of that too, I mean, you better

00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 9: couple of mini tour events events, So I got professional wins,

408
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 9: and but I was hustling, you know what I'm saying.

409
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 3: I was washing carts.

410
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 9: I was doing a little mini jobs in a bookstore,

411
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 9: you know, caddy and anything I could do. It got

412
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 9: to the point I just could not afford it anymore.

413
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 9: I mean, it costs maybe one hundred tow one hundred

414
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 9: and fifty grand a year just to support yourself to

415
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 9: play golf.

416
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: What are some of the costs.

417
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 9: Let's see entry fees in the tournaments, my caddy fee.

418
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:17,199
Speaker 9: Let's say I want to pay my coach, travel, airfare

419
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 9: for you and your caddy, food, if something breaks your car,

420
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 9: I mean, everything, your apartment least you mean.

421
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 2: So that's interest because I never always wondered, but like,

422
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: what does it cost to get into a tournament like

423
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 2: a PGA tournament. Is there a minimum that you have

424
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 2: to put up or is it does it just depend

425
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 2: on the course itself.

426
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 8: So yeah, I was gonna say so, Like for the

427
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 8: PGA Tour, it's a little bit different, so there is

428
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 8: an entry fee, but it's kind of small. But what

429
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 8: he's talking about is like many tours, so basically like

430
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 8: a lower level like a g league, like if you're

431
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 8: trying to like overseas, kind of like overseas, and basically

432
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 8: you're paying anywhere from I would say, eight hundred dollars

433
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 8: to like fifteen hundred dollars for one week. But then

434
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 8: you got it's a four day tournament or a three

435
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 8: day tournament, So you got hotel, as he mentioned, you

436
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 8: got caddies, you.

437
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 3: Got everybody gotta get there.

438
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 8: You gotta feed yourself, so like it's gonna be on

439
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 8: an average of like I think, like seventeen hundred every

440
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 8: week to kind of keep moving around for just expenses.

441
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 8: And then sometimes like these tournaments, if you win, you

442
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 8: only getting two thousand dollars, right, or you make a

443
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 8: win and it only be like a thousand dollars, you

444
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 8: know what I mean. Sometimes it's a bigger pot, you know,

445
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 8: where you can get up to like thirty forty thousand,

446
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 8: but it's definitely every week, you know, you got to

447
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 8: spend that money, and it's at least you know, I

448
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 8: would say fifteen hundred to two thousand for every mini

449
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 8: tour event.

450
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, So got to a point just couldn't afford it anymore.

451
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 9: So I had to, you know, start my career. So

452
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 9: I was basically I was in sales for a little bit,

453
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 9: but found my calling in a commercial finance. So I

454
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 9: was in commercial finance, vehicle finance for eight years. Was

455
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 9: about to become VP at a finance firm out of

456
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 9: San Diego, California.

457
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 3: And I got home.

458
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 9: One day and I was just like bro the same,

459
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 9: like I fully sued it, you know, just got off

460
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:04,880
Speaker 9: the plane, I'm like, prauh the saint it. I want

461
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 9: to play golf, like I feel like I still got

462
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 9: a shot. And so it was already hard to find sponsors.

463
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 9: I already knew that. So I was just like, you

464
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 9: know what, first things first, let's make a logo. Let

465
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 9: me just make a logo. So the logo that you

466
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 9: guys saw, you know, jeans, sweatshirt, Cubu link chain, it

467
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 9: was just supposed to be me. And I was just

468
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 9: going to put it on my poloup and put it

469
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 9: on my bag. And then one thing led to another.

470
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 9: I showed it to him. He was like, yo, bro,

471
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 9: just put down a T shirt real quick.

472
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 3: So I did.

473
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 9: And I've always been in a fashion but never really

474
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 9: took it serious and sneakers. Just never really took it

475
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 9: serious on my own, but ended up making the logo.

476
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 9: Took a guilded T shirt. It maybe cost me twenty bucks,

477
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 9: ironed it on. I went downtown Detroit and I maybe

478
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 9: got stopped fifty times. You know what I'm saying, like,

479
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 9: who are you? What's that logo? Where can I get

480
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 9: it from? And do you play golf? You know what

481
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 9: I'm saying? And they were I mean it was just

482
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 9: it was crazy. It was crazy. Got back home, told him, bro,

483
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 9: I definitely got something like I don't know what, but

484
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 9: I'm gonna do something with He was just like, all right, well,

485
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 9: keep doing your thing. He was doing his own thing

486
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 9: in Delaware, working for the mayor. But it got to

487
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 9: a point I was just like, okay, well let me

488
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 9: make T shirts, sweatshirts, hats, socks, and like little other accessories.

489
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying, not knowing, not really not

490
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 9: what I'm doing, you know what I'm saying, but selling

491
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 9: everything out of my apartment. I made custom boxes thank

492
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 9: you cards, and I wrote the first fifteen hundred myself,

493
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying, and put that in every box.

494
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 9: But yeah, it got to a point I was just like,

495
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 9: all right, well let's just see how far we can go.

496
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 9: And started the company east Side Golf, LLC. June twenty

497
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 9: nineteen and then started selling clothes.

498
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 3: And how I did that was I.

499
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 9: Just honestly found the most expensive pieces that I could

500
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 9: find and put our logo on that embroidery Chanelle patches,

501
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 9: but the most expensive. I know a lot of people

502
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 9: try to go the cheapest, but I wanted it high

503
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 9: quality because I wanted people to wear it, you know,

504
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 9: and I know how I feel about, you know, cheap stuff.

505
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 3: I wouldn't want to wear it.

506
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 9: So end up finding the highest quality end up from

507
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 9: November twenty nineteen to February twenty twenty, selling you out

508
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 9: about five times, you know. And it's just me, you know.

509
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 9: And I mean it was tough, but I knew I

510
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 9: had something, so kept pushing it, kept pushing it, and

511
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 9: then I told him, yo, bro, let's like go down

512
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 9: in the PGA, PGA show.

513
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 3: PGA show is it's.

514
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 2: Like the Magic Show for fashion, right yeah?

515
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but for golf in the golf world, golf world.

516
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 9: But I mean, all in all, I was what I

517
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 9: was trying to do was pay for my way, my

518
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 9: own way to play golf. Instead of asking for a

519
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 9: sponsor in golf or as an athlete, why not asks

520
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 9: a sponsor to invest in a company, So take the

521
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 9: entrepreneurial route. That's all I was saying. I know how

522
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 9: to run a company. I mean, that's what I did

523
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,959
Speaker 9: in commercial finance. I help truck drivers start their own businesses,

524
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 9: owner operators, bother trucks, see what type of trucks they

525
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 9: want what commodity at hauling and what's best for their company.

526
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 3: You know.

527
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,239
Speaker 9: So it's like if I'm starting, if I'm helping all

528
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 9: these businesses or helping all these people start the wrong, well,

529
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 9: I start my own.

530
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 3: I know how to do it and closes a little.

531
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 9: Bit more simple, you know than you know, going out

532
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 9: on the road and handling that whole non so, but yeah,

533
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 9: that's yeah.

534
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 2: So when y'all get to the PGA show, this isn't

535
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 2: is it it Orlando? Yeah, it's in Orlando. So I'm

536
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 2: gonna imagine there's probably a bunch of people that don't

537
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 2: look like you. You got the gold chain on the shirt.

538
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 2: What's the feeling as you're walking through to see if people,

539
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: what's the reaction to you and what are your thoughts

540
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 2: as you're walking through this crowd?

541
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, So, I mean, you know, my career, I was

542
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 8: deep in golf. So you know, I was one of

543
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 8: the first African American golf pros at Detroit Golf Club

544
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 8: and at Wilmington Country Club, so like back home in Delaware.

545
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 8: And in twenty sixteen, I was named one of the best

546
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 8: young teachers in America, and I actually left and took

547
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 8: a job in the Mayor's office. So like around this

548
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 8: time when he's telling me about this, in my head,

549
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 8: I'm just like, I'm kind of over golf, like you know,

550
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 8: far as like being boxed in. I'm like, man, they

551
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,919
Speaker 8: don't allow you to be creative. So I was kind of,

552
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 8: just like you said, doing my own thing. But he

553
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 8: was like, nah, we gotta go to the PGA show,

554
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 8: and I'm like, man, I don't feel like going, Like

555
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 8: I'm it's gonna be a waste of time. And like

556
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 8: when we got down there, I really got to experience

557
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 8: the same thing that he got to experience in Detroit.

558
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 8: Like you said, I mean, we're the minority there. It's

559
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 8: you know, people from all over the world, but it's

560
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 8: obviously majority white, and you're walking around at the PGA

561
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 8: demo day and people are just stopping us. Honestly, it

562
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 8: was almost like we were rock stars in the sense

563
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 8: because it was like what, Like he said, who are you?

564
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 8: What's that logo? How do I get it? Like that's

565
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 8: gonna that's the constant reaction that white white people.

566
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 5: Yes, did you feel it was sincere or yeah?

567
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 8: Like I felt like it was one of those things

568
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 8: where it was like, yo, finally, like having worked inside

569
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 8: of the business, like it's typically golf is white shoes,

570
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,959
Speaker 8: khaki pants and a polo. Everybody looks the same, everybody's

571
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 8: carbon copy. Like that's all the options that you have,

572
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 8: Like you going too a golf shop now, it's all

573
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 8: pretty much going to be the same.

574
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 3: Like it's not.

575
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 8: Even an option for you to like if you even

576
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 8: if you enjoy golf, they don't give you an option

577
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 8: to even be creative, if that makes sense, right, And so.

578
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 2: I think the changing the color of your shirt is

579
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: like the biggest you can do.

580
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 3: Right exactly everything is still exactly the same.

581
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 8: And so like walking around and having been in the business,

582
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 8: it was just like for me because I've been to

583
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 8: the PGA show countless times, Like like I said, I

584
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 8: was kind of just over and had experience at all,

585
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 8: but this was like, damn, this is different. And so

586
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 8: we end up like networking, getting a bunch of business

587
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 8: cards and you know, like you said, the Game of Golf,

588
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 8: you learn how to network and got a bunch of

589
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 8: cards and literally just followed up with everybody, sent them

590
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,719
Speaker 8: all emails. We get an email back from a brand

591
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 8: in Japan or a boutique in Japan called Clubhouse Supply

592
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 8: and they're in Osaki, Japan, and they like, yo, we'll

593
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 8: take a chance on you. We'll take thirty five sweatshirts.

594
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,120
Speaker 8: We sent them thirty five sweatshirts. They once they get them,

595
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 8: they sell out twenty four hours in Japan and Japan.

596
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: Ok.

597
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 8: They were the first company to take a chance on us.

598
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,159
Speaker 8: Then they're like, yo, they call us, like, man, we

599
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 8: ain't never seen nothing sell this fast. Yo, here's a

600
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 8: ten thousand dollars po how quickly can you get them

601
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 8: to us? But then you got to understand, now, this

602
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 8: is like Maya twenty twenty, so it's like pandemic, like

603
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 8: it's here.

604
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 3: So we're like, all right, so.

605
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 8: We I think we had enough inventory to I think

606
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 8: we fulfilled that order. We had enough inventory to fill

607
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 8: that order. Things are starting to pa where you're getting

608
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 8: emerged from Oakland, California, like just making it like you

609
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 8: gotta no, no, no.

610
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:32,600

00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 8: that he was dealing with.

00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 3: They were based in Oakland.

615
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 5: California, American Warehouse.

616
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, so they were getting the patches I think overseas

617
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,719
Speaker 8: and then putting it on like you know, a sweater,

618
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 8: and and.

619
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 5: You just funded us out of your own pocket and

620
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 5: took a loan on.

621
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, so this was out of my own pocket.

622
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:57,239
Speaker 9: Depleted the four one k, sold the bitcoin, you know

623
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,159
Speaker 9: what I'm saying, and depleted the same.

624
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 5: How much did you sell bigcoin when you when you

625
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 5: had a bitcoin? How much did you sell it for?

626
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 9: I didn't have that much, but I maybe got about

627
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 9: six grand from it, Okay, you know what I'm saying.

628
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 10: So it was just below I would it was.

629
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:15,399
Speaker 9: It was definitely half I would say, half of a

630
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 9: big coin.

631
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 2: So it wasn't part of it, yeah, because I'm thinking

632
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 2: at the time, and it wasn't. You weren't part of

633
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: that run up to sixty thousand.

634
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 10: No, not at all. I got out way before that.

635
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 4: Sorry to hear that.

636
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 5: Another investment, right right, it's all right. So, so so

637
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 5: you had ten thousand work for inventory? Yeah, so we

638
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 5: had ten thousand worth of inventory to fulfill that order.

639
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 5: We filled that order, and at this.

640
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 8: Time, like I said, it was kind of like it

641
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 8: was still moving like so people getting a product, but

642
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 8: the infrastructure necessarily wasn't in place, and then we end

643
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 8: up getting an article in ESPN. He knew someone, so

644
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 8: he did an article on us, because oh so at

645
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 8: this time, this is like may so George Floyd.

646
00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 3: That just happened like in that that window. And we

647
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 3: end up doing.

648
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 8: A video challenging the PGA of America, which is separate

649
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 8: from the PGA Tour, because the PGA Tour kind of

650
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 8: came out and had a statement about black lives matter,

651
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 8: but the PGA of America didn't, and so we kind

652
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 8: of like we put a video out just kind of

653
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 8: challenging them the same way that Patrick Mahone did with

654
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 8: the NFL. So we got a bunch of diverse groups

655
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 8: of industry leaders within the PGA basically saying who you

656
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 8: are and black lives matter, and we just tagged the PGA.

657
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 8: So basically the joint went viral. We posted it and

658
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 8: then we got their attention and then that kind of

659
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 8: spread it as well. And that really wasn't about like

660
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 8: necessarily promoting our brand. It was just more about, you know,

661
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 8: y'all need to make a stance, like y'all gotta come

662
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 8: out and say something. And so ESPN hits and then

663
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:44,239
Speaker 8: this is when things started really start to pick up

664
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 8: for us. So ESPN hits CJ Paul and Chris Paul

665
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 8: reach out and that's his brother CJ. And he like

666
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 8: reached out and was like, yo, I love what y'all doing,

667
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 8: just through DMS because you also got to remember, like

668
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 8: right now Instagram is popping, so like there's no content

669
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 8: out on TV. We started doing Instagram lives like because

670
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 8: everybody's in the crib. Everybody's is when everyone was on live,

671
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 8: and so we did that. CJ reaches out and he's like, yo,

672
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 8: I love what y'all doing. Me and my brother actually

673
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 8: play golf. We want two of everything, and if y'all

674
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 8: got more, we're gonna give the people in the bubble

675
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 8: and we will and we're gonna pay for everything.

676
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: We're like what.

677
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 8: So we did that and then what really changed our

678
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 8: business forever was we were actually together in Wisconsin and

679
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 8: it was the night of the NBA boycott. So I

680
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 8: don't know if y'all a Memphis August.

681
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 3: Twenty four, it was the Bucks.

682
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,400
Speaker 2: The Bucks were playing and decide and not yeaided to

683
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 2: play exactly.

684
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 8: So that day, you know, Chris Paul let me paint

685
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 8: the picture. Chris Paul is the president of the NBA

686
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 8: Players Association. He ended up doing the whole documentary. It's

687
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 8: called The Day When Sports Stood Steal. So he says,

688
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 8: like he's on his way to the to the to

689
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 8: the bubble, He's getting calls from bron and everybody like yo,

690
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 8: they not playing. So he's got to, you know, figure

691
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 8: out what gonna do. Well, when he gets off the bus,

692
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 8: he's got the gear on from head to toe.

693
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 3: He's got the door lows on, door low ones.

694
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 8: He's got our socks, our sweater and our hat and

695
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 8: he's wearing it and all cameras is on them. And

696
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 8: it just went bananas because you got to understand too.

697
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 8: Like I tell people, it wasn't just a sports story.

698
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 8: It became a national news story. So ABC, CBS, NBC,

699
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 8: everybody's not necessary a CNN promoting east Side golf. But

700
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 8: what they're saying is the NBA is not playing, and

701
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 8: Chris Paul is the president of the NBA Player Association.

702
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 3: What are they gonna do? What's going on? So they

703
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: keep showing this clip and sales are going through the roof,

704
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 3: through the roof.

705
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 8: We had to cut it off, but we end up

706
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 8: cutting it off stop because you got to talk about

707
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 8: that people.

708
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 5: It could be that could be a problem. It can

709
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 5: actually destroy your business act if you have the inventory

710
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 5: too much demand, not enough inventory, then people can plain

711
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 5: that they're not getting this stuff on time, and it's

712
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 5: a real hassle.

713
00:31:58,400 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: You see delays like six to nine.

714
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I was just gonna I mean what helped us,

715
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 9: honestly was the pandemic. You know, people were more patient.

716
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,280
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying. People would, yeah, I wait

717
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 9: three weeks for a sweater. I mean I ain't doing that,

718
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 9: you know. So yeah, I mean that's how we stood

719
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 9: up against that time. We definitely you know, two day

720
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 9: turnaround now as far as shipping, but I mean back

721
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 9: then it was.

722
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was. It got ugly though, I

723
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 3: mean it got ugly.

724
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 8: Like I mean people, well, I'm beyond Like we went

725
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 8: from I think you could get it, We could get

726
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 8: sweaters in like six weeks to like three months.

727
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 3: I mean we can say it now.

728
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 8: There were people that ordered in August and literally didn't

729
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 8: get it to like November December. Like he said, people

730
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 8: were patient. So like it was one of those things where, too,

731
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 8: what do we do so everything is on fire after

732
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 8: that moment, we actually people wanted to invest in that moment.

733
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 8: They're like, Yo, we see what you got going on,

734
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 8: and we weren't ready. So like one of the things

735
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 8: that we learned was we was like, all right, I'm

736
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 8: never forget in September, We're like, yo, we're literally gonna

737
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 8: put sold out on everything. Try to figure out how

738
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 8: to feel these orders. But we got to put the

739
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 8: infrastructure in. And then you're building a business. What I

740
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 8: mean by infrastructure is you got to get lawyers, you

741
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 8: got to get accountants, you got to make sure you

742
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 8: on all your IP like all of that stuff, because

743
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 8: you got to have an infrastructure.

744
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 3: To be able to even take investment, you know.

745
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 8: And so there were certain deals that we kind of

746
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 8: missed out on because we didn't have the infrastructure. People

747
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 8: were ready, they're like, hey, we want to do this

748
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 8: on a convertible note. We didn't know what a convertible

749
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 8: note was. And then we had like bad deals that

750
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 8: we were able to kind of get out of where

751
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 8: people said they were going to do certain things and

752
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 8: they didn't do it. So like investment decks because we

753
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 8: didn't know what we were doing in a sense, but

754
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 8: we just took that time to literally I would say

755
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 8: from September to January, all we did was just put

756
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 8: in an infrastructure, figure out fulfillment, figure out customer service,

757
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 8: figure out who we want to invest, who want to hire,

758
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 8: who we want to hire, and then we kind of

759
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 8: cut it back on. I would say, like in February,

760
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 8: we had an article in GQ and then we did

761
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 8: like you know, say, we did like fifty thousand in

762
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 8: one day, so we was like, damn, okay, it's a

763
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 8: business now. We were able to get all the orders

764
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 8: out and we were able to kind of flip it

765
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 8: back on. But it's I would say, like just anybody

766
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 8: that wants to build a business, Like to his point,

767
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 8: we were lucky enough because we built it during the

768
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 8: pandemic and people were patient. But you gotta gotta have

769
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 8: an infrastructure and you're not gonna be able to build it.

770
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 8: You need lawyers and you need accountants like those. That's

771
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 8: where it starts if you want to build a real

772
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 8: business and take investment in because people looking at you

773
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,400
Speaker 8: niggam like, well we want to see these documents.

774
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 3: We want to see this documents, and you're like what, so.

775
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 8: You got to you know, learn all those things. I

776
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 8: call it YouTube University because it's all out there.

777
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 2: If you want it, we call it uyl University. Yeah, yeah,

778
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: for sure, but bigger than that. So you when you

779
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 2: put the business on freeze, how are we gaining income

780
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 2: or did we say, you know what, we're going to

781
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 2: use our finance background, say we're going to stack some

782
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 2: paper so that we can sustain this. Are we doing

783
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,439
Speaker 2: other things? Because I know you were at a bank

784
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 2: for a certain point during this time. What are we

785
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 2: doing while we putting the company on freeze?

786
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 10: Honestly, I mean I was. He wasn't getting paid.

787
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't get paid for a whole year. I

788
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 3: was working for a whole year. Sweat equity.

789
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 4: Sweat equity I love.

790
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, and he owns part of the business, now you

791
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:09,240
Speaker 10: know what I'm saying.

792
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 3: So it was.

793
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 9: I mean I was the one, you know, using the

794
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 9: bread to pay for my rent, pay for my food,

795
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 9: anything that I needed, but then also anything that he needed.

796
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 9: If he needed me, he just hit me. And we

797
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 9: get it, we get it. But I mean it was tough.

798
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 10: You know, I was borrowing money from here, trying to

799
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 10: get money from here.

800
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,760
Speaker 9: And it was a bunch of nose, A bunch of nose,

801
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,560
Speaker 9: but you know, just keep going using it.

802
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:34,399
Speaker 4: Back to p.

803
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I'm saying.

804
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 8: It was really inspired too by like Nipsey during that time,

805
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 8: like just all money in like we literally went all

806
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 8: money and like we knew it was something special. We

807
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 8: just kind of like, and I feel like a lot

808
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 8: of people have been there before. It's like you know

809
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 8: you got something, you know it's coming. It's almost like

810
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 8: you're waiting on a big check and it's just like,

811
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 8: how do you just limit that debt before you get

812
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 8: the big check because a lot of times you get

813
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 8: that so high. By the time you get the big check,

814
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 8: you back at zero. So it was just one of

815
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 8: those things where what we did was we knew that

816
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 8: we didn't want to give up a bunch of equity,

817
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 8: so it was just like we just kept figuring out

818
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 8: ways of reaching our own pocket. Like that's like you said,

819
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 8: didn't take anything from the business, because it was more

820
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 8: important about the business standing up once you got the

821
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 8: infrastructure in place. And that's why when we actually cut

822
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 8: it on, it was like, Okay, it was worth the sacrifice. Now,

823
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 8: like okay, boom, can we can run.

824
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 3: Now, let's go.

825
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 9: And we weren't and sorry, we weren't paying any money

826
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 9: on marketing. I mean, we still haven't paid any money

827
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 9: on marketing. And it's all been me, me being on

828
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 9: the phone, just finding things that match between what we

829
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 9: talk about, things to talk about on the golf course,

830
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 9: things that y'all talk about. Me and y'all put y'all

831
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 9: on there a couple of times, just from a standpoint

832
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 9: of these are the things that we talk about on

833
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 9: the golf course, you know what I'm saying. These are

834
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 9: the things that we have in common with. I mean,

835
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,479
Speaker 9: we're regular folks just like everybody else that don't play.

836
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 9: That's why you should come out here and just try it,

837
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 9: you know, spreading network, you know what I'm saying. And

838
00:36:59,640 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 9: I mean it grew from there just us being in

839
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 9: tune with our customers. You just through through Instagram and

840
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,240
Speaker 9: that's how we grew it and kept their attention.

841
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 5: You spoke about convertible note. You didn't know what that was.

842
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 5: What do you know what?

843
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 10: Yeah?

844
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 3: I know what it is now, yeah, yeah, part of

845
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 3: the learning process.

846
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 8: Now we're raising money right now. So we went out

847
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,280
Speaker 8: and raised some capital. We raised it on a safe note.

848
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 8: You know why combinator, essentially you.

849
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 5: Can you explain what it convertible note is.

850
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, So for convertible note is essentially you will receive

851
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 8: cash right now based on what you think. Well, basically,

852
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 8: you receive cash, and it will the note will mature

853
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 8: into equity essentially, that's the simple term of it. So

854
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 8: you give me one hundred thousand right now and you

855
00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,920
Speaker 8: essentially it's just a note, so you don't own any equity,

856
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 8: and then you could say in twelve months that one

857
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 8: hundred thousand will then convert into equity. So at that

858
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 8: twelve month period, if it's if our business is valued

859
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 8: that a million dollars, that one hundred thousand is worth

860
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 8: ten percent of our company, so it converts. Now the

861
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 8: good good thing about a convertible note, you could also say, hey,

862
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 8: you know what, let's say the company's value that two million.

863
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 8: I could just pay you back on your note and

864
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 8: give you interest so you don't have to receive equity.

865
00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 5: But yeah, and then you said the investment deck, So

866
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,359
Speaker 5: that's like the deck that you put together for investors. Yes, yeah,

867
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 5: and it has like all of the projective revenue in

868
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 5: and stuff like that.

869
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 3: Yeah.

870
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 8: So we had projective revenue, and we didn't even necessarily

871
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 8: do that. What we did was we did it basically,

872
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 8: we simplified it because we did it on a safe note.

873
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 8: And then if anybody, I would definitely tell them go

874
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 8: look into what a safe note, y combinator. It really

875
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 8: makes it simple for any like founders that are out

876
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 8: there to kind of control your equity and your business.

877
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 3: And we made it really simple.

878
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 8: And then what we did was we put our strategy

879
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 8: in there essentially on what we were going to do

880
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 8: with the money in the third and fourth quarter. So

881
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 8: we raised money basically in the first and second quarter

882
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 8: of the year. Really second quarter is when we really

883
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 8: focused on raising money in capital, family and friends around

884
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 8: not a Series A. And then we essentially said when

885
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,399
Speaker 8: that note matures, you know, how.

886
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 2: Did you figure out how much equity and you were

887
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 2: willing to give up? Is that something you too sat

888
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 2: down and said, right, we're comfortable at this number.

889
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:07,319
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.

890
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 9: It was more of a where do you think we

891
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 9: could thrive that, you know if we give I mean,

892
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:16,439
Speaker 9: let's say, is for example one hundred percent. Let's say

893
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 9: we're trying to give away twenty percent of our business.

894
00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 9: I mean we got to a point where we were

895
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 9: just like, I mean, it's twenty percent too much because

896
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 9: how much control do we want them to have? You know,

897
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 9: how much visibility or what is it that they want

898
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 9: from this?

899
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 10: You know what I'm saying, like and how much of

900
00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 10: a stronghold and.

901
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,319
Speaker 9: In the contract if it's if that percentage is high enough,

902
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 9: I mean, what they can actually do to our company,

903
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 9: you know, what they can control and what they can

904
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 9: say on what we do.

905
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 8: So but and I'll also say too, like just going

906
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 8: through the process, you you got to keep your business attractive,

907
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 8: so like most like and we had like a lot

908
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 8: of basically BC's and sharks come at us early, right,

909
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 8: and so they everyone's going to say, I only want

910
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 8: to invest in your business unless I can have basically

911
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 8: a strong percentage because I want to be invested in it.

912
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 8: But then it's like no, because if you do it

913
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:13,440
Speaker 8: too early, you don't necessarily even give room for vcs

914
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 8: later with the big money so early.

915
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 2: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.

916

917
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,480

921
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 2: decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is

922

Speaker 2: Homeland Security.

963
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 8: Go, you really want to keep it as low as possible,

964
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 8: and you got to be very strategic with who you

965
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:13,319
Speaker 8: invest with.

966
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 3: And that's what we did.

967
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 8: So like we went and necessarily got I would say,

968
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 8: like a quiet investor, someone that really knows to invest,

969
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 8: like not someone that's like, all right, if I give

970
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 8: you a hundred thousand, I'm gonna need it back in

971
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 8: six months or I'm gonna need it back in a year. No,

972
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 8: it's an investment. Let this investment mature over time. So

973
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 8: that was one of the things that I think we did.

974
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 8: And then being strategic, so like if we had one

975
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 8: person in this area, if we had a lawyer to invest,

976
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 8: I e.

977
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 3: An example, like we.

978
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,799
Speaker 8: Didn't need to go get another lawyer to invest. Let's

979
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,800
Speaker 8: go get an accountant to invest, Let's go get another

980
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 8: you know, just different fields because now you can leverage

981
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 8: them as well because they're invested in your business. So

982
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 8: we kind of diversified I would say, our investor. And

983
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 8: then we also were just really conscious of like, and

984
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 8: I'll say this, like one of the deals that we did,

985
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,640
Speaker 8: we were able to get out like two deals basically

986
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 8: to get us where we are to that and one

987
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 8: of them was I would feel like they didn't understand

988
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 8: what we were trying to do.

989
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 3: It was kind of like a lack of knowledge.

990
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:15,280
Speaker 8: So we basically was like, yo, come down on equity

991
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 8: so we can make somebody else fit so that the

992
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 8: business is still attractive in the future.

993
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 3: And they're like, huh, what you want to come down?

994
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 8: I was like, no, we got to do this because

995
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 8: if we give up kind of what he was saying,

996
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,959
Speaker 8: the line's share of our business too early, it leaves

997
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 8: no room later on. And so we were able to

998
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 8: honestly get out of that deal.

999
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 3: But we were able.

1000
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 8: I would say one of the best deals we did

1001
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 8: was we partner up with our manufacturing partner right now

1002
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 8: and get terms. Because everyone says cash flow, cash flow,

1003
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 8: cash flow, but I truly understand what cash flow means

1004
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 8: because you'll lock up your cash if you got bad terms.

1005
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 8: And an example would be when we first started a business,

1006
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 8: we were paying fifty percent on an order up front,

1007
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,719
Speaker 8: and then it takes what ninety days for it to

1008
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 8: get produced, and then you gotta sell it, so you

1009
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 8: really want to.

1010
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 3: You got one hundred and twenty days.

1011
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 8: Let's say you put up one hundred grand on inventory,

1012
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 8: you got one hundred and twenty days without and it's

1013
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,040
Speaker 8: still locked up and you still got bills every month.

1014
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:10,959
Speaker 8: But now we were able to get to the point

1015
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:14,439
Speaker 8: where we got better terms. So now we could place

1016
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 8: an order ninety days to produce it. Once you receive it,

1017
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,760
Speaker 8: we got a net thirty, So now you got that

1018
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 8: that cash.

1019
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 2: We just had about net thirty.

1020
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 5: People hear net thirty, forty fifty, net sixty. They don't

1021
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 5: know what that is.

1022
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 2: That's something we learned very very early.

1023
00:45:34,120 --> 00:45:38,440
Speaker 8: No, net thirty isn't basically, it's it's when you have Okay,

1024
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 8: the person is saying, from this day, you have thirty

1025
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 8: days to pay me or forty five days to pay me,

1026
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 8: but you get to receive the services on the front end.

1027
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 8: So that's the thing, Like you get the goods on

1028
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 8: the front end, where before we was paying for the

1029
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 8: we had to put fifty percent up front. And this

1030
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 8: is why people say credit is so important because you

1031
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 8: can't get these type of deals unless you have good credit.

1032
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 8: So we were playing fifty percent up front, fifty percent

1033
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,399
Speaker 8: on the arrival, and then it was just all on us,

1034
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 8: where now we can place an order no money up,

1035
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 8: receive it no money up, and then once we start

1036
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 8: in a sense getting money with that NET thirty, then

1037
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 8: you can pay them back.

1038
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 5: You know, that's something that you know, all of this

1039
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 5: stuff and stuff that we learn on the fly, So

1040
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,640
Speaker 5: at least we did learn on the fly, and it's

1041
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 5: like learning the language is extremely important. So for us,

1042
00:46:25,560 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 5: we've been on the opposite side of that as far

1043
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 5: as like, you know, if we have an ad. Let's

1044
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:34,360
Speaker 5: say Joe blows you know, grass company, grass cutting company

1045
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 5: wants to do an ad and then they have like

1046
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 5: NET forty five or NET thirty, So we do the ad,

1047
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 5: but then they don't pay till thirty days or forty

1048
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 5: five days later. So it's important to understand that because

1049
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 5: it's like if you do an AD or somebody, you

1050
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 5: think you're gonna get paid tomorrow and then you're waiting

1051
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,320
Speaker 5: on the money and then it's like where's the money.

1052
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 5: It doesn't come until too.

1053
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 2: Much from there, it goes back to your point of

1054
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 2: why having an accountant is super important, We'll have like

1055
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 2: six sads in that time, and you're like, wait, did

1056
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 2: we get paid for the last one?

1057
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 3: Wait?

1058
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 2: We used to start going. I remember when we first

1059
00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 2: started our YouTube and we had some views and I'm like, wait,

1060
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 2: we made eighty three dollars and I'm calling Google. I'm like, look, man,

1061
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 2: when we getting this eighty three dollars? It's that thirty guys.

1062
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, okay, I knew that. I wait on

1063
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 2: it right.

1064
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 8: And I also say, like too, to your point, it's

1065
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 8: just a stigma, like you said earlier, like we don't

1066
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 8: know knowledge, and that's why credit is so important in debt,

1067
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,160
Speaker 8: Like it's okay to use good business credit and so

1068
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 8: you don't tie up your cash, you know what I mean.

1069
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 8: You just got to be smart about it to know.

1070
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 8: But like that's what I was saying earlier, where like

1071
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 8: you give up so much. When you finally do get

1072
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 8: the income, you don't have nothing left because you had

1073
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 8: all these bad terms where like literally, okay, yeah you

1074
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 8: did fifty thousand, but you're still old eighty because and

1075
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 8: you behind and now they charge you interests and all

1076
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 8: of that. So all of that stuff is very very important.

1077
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 8: Like you said, man, we learned it on the fly,

1078
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:57,680
Speaker 8: like you just gotta what was that book we man,

1079
00:47:57,719 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 8: my man from light Ship Capital. It was called Venture Something.

1080
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 8: I wish I knew the title of.

1081
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 3: It, but it was what you're talking about.

1082
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 8: It was a really good book and it really really

1083
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 8: broke down like how venture capitalists think and what are

1084
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 8: some of the most important things that you need to

1085
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 8: do to kind of get to where we are today.

1086
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 3: Because it was definitely learning, Like.

1087
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,000

00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 8: whole spill.

1188
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 3: He was like, all.

1189
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 8: Right, those are two great stories. We tell the best stories.

1190
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,360

1191
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,600

1192
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 3: we were on it. Yeah.

1193
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,719
Speaker 8: So it was like it was like mj believe like

1194
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 8: he he he immediately got in one of the things too,

1195
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 8: like he loved golf. I don't know people know, like

1196
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 8: at one point Michael Jordan literally got kicked off a

1197
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:11,760
Speaker 8: golf course for wearing cargo shorts, like in modern time,

1198
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:15,320
Speaker 8: like not low before he won championships. No, like this happened,

1199
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 8: and I think in Miami and like oh six, don't

1200
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 8: quote me on the date, but literally it was definitely

1201
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 8: in the two thousand Michael Jordan got kicked off a

1202
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 8: golf course and got basically said you can't come back

1203
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 8: here because he had on cargo shorts.

1204
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:28,520
Speaker 3: So like I feel like that was a no.

1205
00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 8: Reason too why he created his own golf course and

1206
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 8: he understood like y'all trying what y'all trying to break

1207
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,520
Speaker 8: and do, and like you know, it was just like

1208
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 8: he's like yo, like I get it.

1209
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 3: I get it.

1210
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 9: And from them he has a golf course. Yeah, he

1211
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 9: has his own golf course, Rove twenty three down in

1216
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 9: far from like Tiger Woods, live and you already.

1217
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 5: Know have you had, Like how y'all communicated with him?

1218
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,240
Speaker 8: I mean I was, I've I've talked, We've talked about

1219
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 8: we talked to him by it like three times. Oh

1220
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 8: talk to him a couple of times without me just

1221
00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 8: being around.

1222
00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,000
Speaker 5: So how is that? How is How is he?

1223
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 2: Is he?

1224
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 5: Because I always everybody always know he's the most competitive

1225
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 5: person in the world. And he's real hard to you know,

1226
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 5: on his teammates in that documentary thing like that, So

1227
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 5: you know, not a lot of people will have access somebody.

1228
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 3: He's real.

1229
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:22,960
Speaker 5: He seems like an introvert. Also, he's not really like

1230
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:23,440
Speaker 5: it's jay Z.

1231
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 2: It's not.

1232
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 5: You can't just not a lot of people speaking to

00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 9: was with G. We were out of the golf course.

1237
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,520

1287
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 8: Like so it was kind of like that awkwad moment

1288
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 8: and then like we just started rapping. But I did

1289
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:44,480
Speaker 8: kind of I do tell people, I did kind of

1290
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 8: have that moment where it was like all right, like

1291
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 8: it was like frozen in time. I don't even remember

1292
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,440
Speaker 8: what the conversation was about. Like he just kind of like,

1293
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:51,720
Speaker 8: all right, you can move now.

1294
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 3: Like like I was like stuck there. Like it was

1295
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 3: like I was like all right, cool.

1296
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,719
Speaker 8: So then we end up going back out on the

1297
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 8: tee and then we actually got a picture and we

1298
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 8: got it definitely. It's on our Instagram and we gotta

1299
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 8: put that up on the website too. But we ended

1300
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 8: up taking a picture shortly after that with him, so

1301
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 8: cc him and I kind of came back in and

1302
00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 8: then we just like busted up for a minute and

1303
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 8: got to pick with him.

1304
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 5: So all right, so you meet him your devaluation. He

1305
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 5: likes it, so he signs you guys to Jordan Brand.

1306
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 5: Is that how that happens.

1307
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 9: So we're definitely still working on a partnership as far

1308
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,040
Speaker 9: when it comes to that. I would say actually the

1309
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 9: day after that happened, actually he left and had to

1310
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:33,280
Speaker 9: go do some work, had to go do something, and

1311
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 9: I stayed to practice. So got there maybe like eight

1312
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,080
Speaker 9: am and I'm hitting balls, you know, out on the

1313
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 9: driver range, just practicing. He gets there like none you know,

1314
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 9: yellow Ferrari pull up parking on the curve all outside.

1315
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,200
Speaker 3: Yes, course, this his course.

1316
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:49,920
Speaker 9: So he parking, get out, he wave, I'm like yo,

1317
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 9: So goes inside, pray, probably tease off. In another fifteen minutes,

1318
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 9: so waves again. So ends up playing non holes, makes

1319
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 9: the turn. I'm still practicing, you know any way, like

1320
00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 9: I see you, you know. Then he ends up playing

1321
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 9: another nine holes and they finished. I'm still practicing. Hour

1322
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 9: goes by after he finishes. I finally finished. I come

1323
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 9: inside my prolo drenched, you know what I'm saying, just

1324
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 9: from being out there all day.

1325
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 5: He got it.

1326
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 9: I got in and he was like, okay, I see

1327
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 9: you out there working. I see you out there working.

1328
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:19,720

Speaker 3: Get this man somes the Caro.

1330
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 10: You know, because he owns your part of Sanchro.

1331
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 9: So Drakes and Carol stood there for a couple of minutes,

1332
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 9: ended up changing, had a flight to catch change, came back,

1333
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:33,960
Speaker 9: sat down. He was probably sent at the table with

1334
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 9: a good four or five of the guys, and one

1335
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 9: of the guys at the table just asked, yo, so

1336
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 9: tell me a little bit about east side golfing. What

1337
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 9: you guys are doing. I maybe talked for a good

1338
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 9: minute and a half and MJ just cuts me off,

1339
00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 9: and he says, and that's why we're collabing with them,

1340
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 9: you know. And I just explained, you know, who I was,

1341
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 9: who Eorl was, and what we're trying to do and

1342
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 9: trying to change and what we're actually bringing to the

1343
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 9: game and.

1344
00:58:57,760 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 3: How it was going to look different, and he was

1345
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 3: just all with it, you know.

1346
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,720
Speaker 9: And then we end up drinking some corral together, smoked

1347
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 9: a little cigar, you know, and.

1348
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 5: So it was so the collaboration is still kind of

1349
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:10,919
Speaker 5: it's still it works, yeah, Like.

1350
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 10: Well collaboration partnership.

1351
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's there, Like we definitely are partners

1352
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 8: with the Jordan brand. Like it's definitely a partnership there.

1353
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:21,000
Speaker 3: We are.

1354
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 8: What we're working on right now is just trying to

1355
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 8: figure out, you know, for next year, like that's the

1356
00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,200
Speaker 8: big thing. And like we got shoes and like record time.

1357
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 8: So that's why like these first ones are super limited,

1358
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 8: just because.

1359
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 5: So what is that all right? What is actually to collaborate?

1360
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 5: You guys took Jordan sneakers and made them golf shoes.

1361
00:59:38,400 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 8: So no, they had golf shoes out. They have Star

1362
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 8: already started coming out with Jordan sneakers. Yes, with the

1363
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 8: cleats on and then they started like engineering them better

1364
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 8: because initially it was just literally just like a sneakers.

1365
00:59:54,520 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 8: They end up developing to where they're like, okay, they

1366
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 8: started signing like athletes on the tours. So there's a

1367
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 8: couple of guys on the PGA tour that wears on,

1368
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 8: like Bubba Watson is one, Pat Perez, a black guy

1369
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 8: by the name of Harold Varner who's out there. And

1370
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 8: so like the engineering started to get behind it. So

1371
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 8: the shoes started to become more and more popular, they

1372
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,640
Speaker 8: started making more and more of them, and then what

1373
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 8: we came involved was we're the first ever Jordan golf

1374
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 8: shoe collabor with a golf brand. So like they've kind

1375
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:23,959
Speaker 8: of created like custom shoes golf shoes before, but they've

1376
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 8: never did a collaboration with any other golf brand. And

1377
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,800
Speaker 8: so like that's where our partnership lies, where it's like

1378
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,880
Speaker 8: this is the first ever, but we're excited because there's

1379
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 8: more in the future.

1380
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 5: So so so what exactly are you, Like what kind

1381
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 5: of merchant did you collab on?

1382
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 3: So right now, we just did the shoe.

1383
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 8: The shit this one the shoe, and we did it

1384
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 8: in record time, Like people gotta understand, like we did

1385
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,560

01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 8: Jordan for it's the Jordan Ford. Yeah, but we designed

1388
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 8: like the colors the Okay, so it's Jordan Ford, but

1389
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 8: you put the spice on it. No, the spikes are

1390
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,680
Speaker 8: already on there. But what we did with spikes spice

1391
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:03,800

Speaker 9: design myself, and it was honestly, I came to ge

1394
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 9: we went to go to breakfast, and I came up

1395
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 9: with a deck. It was probably like six different shoes.

1396
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 9: He came with a deck. It was maybe like four

1397
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 9: or five different shoes. We sat them next week. Well

1398
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,120
Speaker 9: actually we just exchanged decks. I looked on it and

1399
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 9: I was like, bro, it's the same shoe.

1400
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's and I'm thinking to myself, like, y'all

1401
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 2: both said we're doing the four because I would imagine

1402
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 2: they wanted you to collaborate on a bunch of shoes.

1403
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 2: They gave you a bunch of the numbers, and you're like,

1404
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 2: the four is the one you.

1405
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,360
Speaker 10: Usually when you collabed with Jordan, you don't have a.

1406
01:01:38,360 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 3: True telling you they already inline shoes and you get it.

1407
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 9: Like yeah, so there's a certain time that let's say,

1408
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 9: Nikes doing the coming out with the Jordan's eight at

1409
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:52,600
Speaker 9: this time, so you know, during June through October, and

1410
01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 9: were coming out.

1411
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 10: With a Collapse through June through October.

1412
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 3: So we're gonna we're gonna be getting the eight.

1413
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 2: So it just yeah, yeah, you don't get this makes

1414
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:01,480

Speaker 2: It's the year of the four. So the Union four

1417
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,880

1418
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 2: have a you have a four.

1419

Speaker 5: Gotta be prepared at all times.

1455
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 2: Yes, this is not like you guys, but look it's

1456
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 2: not like this mantle up here is waiting for you.

1457
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 5: Waiting for wen't need? So all right, when did they drop?

1458
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 3: Tomorrow?

1459
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, they have to come out yet now.

1460
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, we released from tomorrow, so we had a we

1461
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 8: had a raffle, so we did it raffle style.

1462
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:52,320
Speaker 5: And tomorrow because this episode is going to come out

1463
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 5: after that, so June seventh, August seventh, and seventh, Yeah,

1464
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 5: it's going to come out and how is it going

1465
01:03:58,640 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 5: to be released?

1466
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 8: So we did it just because we're trying to fight

1467
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 8: the bots. So like we still got bots, like I mean,

1468
01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 8: and even Nike gets botsed like and we're not as

1469
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:09,760
Speaker 8: big as Nike. So what you basically do is to

1470
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 8: ensure that it is as random as possible. We did

1471
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 8: a raffle where people can sign up, which the sign

1472
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 8: up has been insane.

1473
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:20,800
Speaker 3: We got like one hundred and I think it's.

1474
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 8: One hundred and seventeen thousand entries, but we had to

1475
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 8: scrape through I think at one point it was like

1476
01:04:25,080 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 8: eight hundred thousand because of the bots, so.

1477
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 3: It's just over a million now.

1478
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 8: So you basically got to like constantly be scrubbing to

1479
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,920
Speaker 8: ensure and there's ways that you can check like essentially

1480
01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 8: like user behavior so like there's a way that if

1481
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 8: you were to sign up on a raffle non times

1482
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 8: out of ten for us, like you're going to hit

1483
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 8: the site multiple times. So if you just come on

1484
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,439
Speaker 8: one time, then we know generally speaking, that's probably a bot.

1485
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 5: So you get to control out a Nike Nike Well,

1486
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 5: it's kind of like a combination of both, right, Like

1487
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 5: they obviously kind of help you through that process. Is

1488
01:04:57,400 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 5: it sold that now?

1536
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,000

01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:03,280

1546
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:12,520

Speaker 9: single tournament. So we're coming out with pieces that were

1548
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 9: selling the in their tour tent So like even we

1549
01:07:19,120 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 9: just did a Rocking Mortgage Classic, did a collab with

1550
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 9: Rocking Mortgage, so all the pieces were custom They're not

01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 9: sold on the website, you can only get them at

1552
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 9: that tournament. So we're releasing pieces like that. But then

1553
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,400
Speaker 9: also how we truly grow in golf is the pieces

1554
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 9: that we're releasing that are for golf. I mean we're

1555
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 9: talking about, you know, pieces as far as like a vest, hoodie,

1556
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying. Also go over a polo,

1557
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 9: over a T shirt. This is something that's coming a

1558
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 9: little later this year. We're coming out with a jacket,

1559
01:07:49,480 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 9: you know, later this year, maybe like Bomber next year.

1560
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 4: You know.

1561
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 9: So these are different things that you can honestly wear,

1562
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 9: you know, out with the boys, go get a drink in.

1563
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:02,120
Speaker 9: But also we're to the golf course and be comfortable,

1564
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 9: be warm, and be fashionable.

1565
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: Oh.

1566
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 2: At the same time, y'all trying to find a signature

1567
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 2: athlete because I know you mentioned Varna and I know

1568
01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:13,479
Speaker 2: Cameron cha Champ because it's very limited. It's like four

1569
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 2: players African American players that are on the tour, so

1570
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 2: I can imagine maybe starting there and then.

1571
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,040
Speaker 3: No, no, that's not the plan. I mean, we got

1572
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:23,920
Speaker 3: an athlete right here, like we're.

1573
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 2: Gonna break that. We're gonna break that news aflete.

1574
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 8: Nah oh, I mean, like he said, that's why the

1575
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:32,600
Speaker 8: reason he started the company, Like he's super talented, Like

1576
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 8: he's not wasting his time like he know, like if

1577
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 8: I thought like it was a waste of time.

1578
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:39,200
Speaker 3: So like I even got to tell this story you mentioned, uh,

1579
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:40,160
Speaker 3: Cameron Champ.

1580
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:42,519
Speaker 8: Yeah, so we played in the pro am, which is

1581
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 8: essentially it's almost like an open run. So imagine like

1582
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 8: before an NBA game, if you got to like warm

1583
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 8: up with the guys right and just kind of warm up.

1584
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,599
Speaker 8: So that's basically what it was, like a warm up

1585
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 8: that we did at a PGA tournament. So it's called

1586
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 8: a pro am, so you play with pros and amateurs

1587
01:08:57,920 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 8: and oh, we get to the first and like the

1588
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 8: two pros get up in here. It was Tony Phenam

1589
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 8: and Cameron Champ in New Orleans. So they get up,

1590
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:08,960
Speaker 8: they bomb it down the middle, and then were about

1591
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 8: to walk off because typically we playing up amateurs play

1592
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 8: from up here, pros play from back here. O was like, nah,

1593
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:16,559
Speaker 8: I want to play from back here, and the PGA

1594
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 8: Tour rules officials like, you know, sir, like this ain't

1595
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 8: the time, like just t up there.

1596
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:23,639
Speaker 3: He like, nah, I want to play from right here.

1597
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 3: They was like oh okay.

1598
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 8: So then he ended up putting it in the ground,

1599
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:31,160
Speaker 8: got up there and bomb that joint down the middle.

1600
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 8: And these two are one of the longest guys on

1601
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 8: tour here had pass both of them right down the

1602
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 8: middle and they were just like, oh wow. And then

1603
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 8: you know, I got up there hit my little shot.

1604
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:42,760
Speaker 8: I was in the fairway. I wouldn't I wasn't like

1605
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 8: these guys. But I say all that to say like

1606
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 8: he one can definitely can't compete against them. It was like,

1607
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 8: you know, when we were out there, he definitely showed that.

1608
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 8: But I think, like to your other point, like he

1609
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 8: is the logo, so it's like, first you're gonna kind

1610
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,240
Speaker 8: of start with him, and then I think, you know,

1611
01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 8: as the brand grows, there will be other people that

1612
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 8: we kind of bring on. But it's all about kind

1613
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,600
Speaker 8: of like embodying the ethos of the brand. And I

1614
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 8: feel like that's what Jordan Brand did. And you know,

1615
01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 8: when we collab with partners, we just try to make

1616
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 8: sure that it's alignment because we don't want to come

1617
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 8: anything kind of traditional, so we just want to continue

1618
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:14,040
Speaker 8: to kind of create that new wave.

1619
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 5: Yeah east Side, So you so you're you're a professional

1620
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,919
Speaker 5: golfer now, yeah, so work still, I mean head designer

1621
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 5: of east Side, but still working on, you know, replacing

1622
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 5: myself in the business and then going to be doing

1623
01:10:29,360 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 5: many tour events, you know, hopefully Q school, qualifying school

1624
01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 5: for the PGA Tour and UH and just getting runs in,

1625
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:38,799
Speaker 5: like he said, just many tour events, many tour events

1626
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 5: and starting just to get that comfortable and find time

1627
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:45,280
Speaker 5: to practice, you know, while running this business.

1628
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 4: You know.

1629
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 2: So I think you guys are very similar. I think

1630
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 2: what we've done in the world of finance, just breaking.

1631
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:52,680
Speaker 4: O rules and wearing shoes.

1632
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 2: And talking how we talk, is kind of what you

1633
01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 2: guys are doing for golf. Yeah, and so it's a

1634
01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 2: sport that we started by saying, not many African Americans

1635
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 2: are involved. What are your plans to get the youth

1636
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:06,280
Speaker 2: to be in love with the game, in touch with

1637
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 2: the game, understand the game, exposure to it. What do

1638
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,479
Speaker 2: you've got You have that in the plans?

1639
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:13,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, for sure. So I mean I'll go and I'll

1640
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 10: let you go.

1641
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 9: But first off, it was always about having them getting

1642
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 9: them interested, you know. That was always like, how are

1643
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,680
Speaker 9: we gonna get them to want to even want to

1644
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 9: play golf? You know, And I felt like it was

1645
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 9: always representation, just never seeing anybody that acted normal or

1646
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:33,879
Speaker 9: acted like them and then played golf. You know, definitely

1647
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 9: Tiger Woods was the catalyst, was the first person who

1648
01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 9: pushed the needle forward. But then to find similarities in

1649
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,720
Speaker 9: between a person you see playing golf. I felt like

1650
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 9: making the logo would speak to everybody without even start,

1651
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 9: without even playing golf. But you see the logo and

1652
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 9: it says, damn like I could be myself. You know,

1653
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 9: no matter if I got a Cuban League chain on

1654
01:11:56,160 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 9: and swinging as hard as I can, the chain't going

1655
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,639
Speaker 9: this way, club going this way, I could still play

1656
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 9: golf and have a good time and be fashionable, just

1657
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:05,599
Speaker 9: like the logo.

1658
01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:08,120
Speaker 10: So first you get their attention, which we.

1659
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:12,000
Speaker 9: Did, but then we started to get the attention of

1660
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 9: young professionals.

1661
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 10: So that was first because.

1662
01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:18,640
Speaker 9: Honestly, in golf, the younger generation, how they're going to

1663
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 9: be successful is their parents. You know, they're going to

1664
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 9: be the people that take them to the golf course,

1665
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:24,839
Speaker 9: pay for the clubs, pay.

1666
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:26,759
Speaker 10: For the lessons and all those things.

1667
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 9: So we got the young professionals' attention and then we

1668
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 9: show the positives and things that they can get from it.

1669
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 9: So now they're teaching their kids, you know, the positives

1670
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 9: and how to network and how to even play golf

1671
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 9: because you can get a golf scholarship or just you

1672
01:12:43,760 --> 01:12:46,840
Speaker 9: can learn the networking tools that you need in life

1673
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 9: just from playing golf.

1674
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:51,600
Speaker 8: So but yeah, no, he's on hundre percent right. Like

1675
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 8: the dividends, it pays dividends much earlier and sooner if

1676
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:57,640
Speaker 8: you go at the young professionals like you guys are

1677
01:12:57,720 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 8: prime example, and I'm sure a lot of your listeners

1678
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:02,200
Speaker 8: are priming examples. If they picked up a golf club

1679
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 8: today and really took the time and invest in it,

1680
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,280
Speaker 8: they will see a return on that, I would say

1681
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 8: probably in twelve to eighteen months. The network and the

1682
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:13,680
Speaker 8: opportunity to travel, whether we could just be something relaxing,

1683
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,479
Speaker 8: or it could be opportunities for their business rather than

1684
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 8: if you have a child at twelve or thirteen. There's

1685
01:13:19,080 --> 01:13:21,439
Speaker 8: nothing wrong with it, but the return is going to

1686
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:23,040
Speaker 8: be a little bit longer. It's going to be you know,

1687
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:24,680
Speaker 8: they got to wait till they get to college and

1688
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 8: things of that nature. So our whole thing kind of

1689
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 8: just reiterated his point. It's just like if you grow

1690
01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 8: up seeing it, it's like, oh, like your kids. I

1691
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:33,800
Speaker 8: don't know if you guys have kids or not, but

1692
01:13:33,800 --> 01:13:36,000
Speaker 8: it's like if you started and you coming home with

1693
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 8: the golf clubs and they seeing they're like, damn dad,

1694
01:13:38,479 --> 01:13:40,840
Speaker 8: He's like, yeah, I got this deal on a golf course.

1695
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 3: They just start seeing it.

1696
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,240
Speaker 8: Now you can kind of talk to them about, okay,

1697
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 8: how this thing really works, and then they start seeing

1698
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:48,360
Speaker 8: the value in it because that's the biggest thing.

1699
01:13:48,360 --> 01:13:49,400
Speaker 3: And you kind of touched on.

1700
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:51,720
Speaker 8: It very early on. It was like we don't we

1701
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:54,639
Speaker 8: hear about it, but we don't see it. So now

1702
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:57,560
Speaker 8: you get someone that can actually like in your household.

1703
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 8: You seeing them actually on the golf course and what

1704
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:04,040
Speaker 8: opportunities are coming about, You're like, Okay, it is real.

1705
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 8: It is doable, because that's the thing. You just got

1706
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 8: to make it real and tangible. So to his point,

1707
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:11,639
Speaker 8: I just think like we are focused on a younger

1708
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 8: generation for sure, but like I feel like we naturally

1709
01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:16,479
Speaker 8: do that and they want to kind of play golf.

1710
01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 8: But like I would say, our immediate focus is young

1711
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 8: professionals investing in them because if we do that, then

1712
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:24,200
Speaker 8: they'll start having kids and training up their kids will

1713
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:26,360
Speaker 8: it'll just be normal, because it's just like, I don't

1714
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:28,200
Speaker 8: know my dad was always playing golf.

1715
01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:29,639
Speaker 3: I didn't know that was not anything.

1716
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 8: It's just like when you grow up in a house,

1717
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 8: you don't know, like you grow up wherever in the project.

1718
01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:35,759
Speaker 8: You're just like, I didn't know it was something different.

1719
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 8: Id't know this world was bad. This was just my world.

1720
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:40,120
Speaker 8: It's just my universe. So it's like, how do we

1721
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 8: normalize golf, how do we normalize stocks, assets, all of

1722
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:45,880
Speaker 8: those things for the next generation and they can actually

1723
01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 8: see the results of it.

1724
01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 9: And honestly, we're breaking the company into three branches. One

1725
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 9: being a pail, the main branch where we make all

1726
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 9: our bread. The second branch being the professional route. Well

1727
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 9: i'm sorry, nonprofit route, So nonprofit money that we receive,

1728
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 9: we would put it towards sponsoring black professional golfers, making

1729
01:15:08,280 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 9: more professional golfers, but then also making more professional black

1730
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 9: teachers as well, expanding that PG of America reach and

1731
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:19,639
Speaker 9: to where they'll still be rocking east side. So that's

1732
01:15:19,640 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 9: the second branch, and then the third one is teaching,

1733
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,080
Speaker 9: so he would be a part of that one and

1734
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 9: actually making like I said, more PJ professionals, but teaching

1735
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 9: them and having the opportunity to.

1736
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 10: Get them accredited through east Side. That's a goal of ours.

1737
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 9: So now we're giving people accreditations, you know what I'm saying,

1738
01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 9: and they can run an entire golf course. Also we're

1739
01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:44,559
Speaker 9: trying to put well, we're going to be putting money

1740
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 9: towards the younger individuals that want to play golf and

1741
01:15:47,600 --> 01:15:50,559
Speaker 9: getting them donations, the balls, the clubs, the clothes, and

1742
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 9: to where they can be out there and they can

1743
01:15:53,240 --> 01:15:55,679
Speaker 9: be accepted by the golf course or by the people

1744
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,519
Speaker 9: around it. But all of those things, I mean, I

1745
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:02,040
Speaker 9: would say that's the that's the plan to actually influence an.

1746
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 2: So speaking of teaching, you had a very prestigious student

1747
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 2: from your state. Yeah, can you elaborate on it?

1748
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, Now I was, well, I guess now the President

1749
01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 8: of the United States currently, mister Joe Biden. I had

1750
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:23,759
Speaker 8: an opportunity to teach him, which was kind of crazy.

1751
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:26,400
Speaker 8: Like the story was wild because I'm at Womanton Country

1752
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:27,719
Speaker 8: Club and like I said, I was the first African

1753
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 8: American god pro there and I used to caddy there,

1754
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 8: So it was like a full circle thing where like

1755
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 8: if you know caddies like just there just carrying the clubs.

1756
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 8: It's not nothing sexy about caddying. And then to come

1757
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 8: back and get an opportunity to teach there. But one

1758
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 8: day I'm just doing my thing, you know, and at

1759
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 8: this point I was getting a lot of recognition from

1760
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 8: my teaching at this time, and somebody, my man Ron Oliver,

1761
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 8: comes in, who is close to Jail, that's like his

1762
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:54,280
Speaker 8: best friend, and he says, Yo, like you ready, he's

1763
01:16:54,280 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 8: out there on a lesson tea. I'm like, huh what

1764
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:58,599
Speaker 8: So all right, I go out there and showing up

1765
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 8: it's Joe Biden. But it's crazy because, like I tell people,

1766
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 8: like you're training them, but it's like an audience now,

1767
01:17:04,880 --> 01:17:07,720
Speaker 8: like you got secret service there. They's super tight on you.

1768
01:17:07,800 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 8: Everybody's looking like, oh that's Joe, that's Joe. And I

1769
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:12,400
Speaker 8: was a cool it was, you know, I just kind

1770
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 8: of got in my teaching mode, you know, because I

1771
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 8: love to teach. So we were just out there just

1772
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 8: chopping it up, helping him out, you know, making better

1773
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,280
Speaker 8: contact with the golf ball and then you know, just

1774
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 8: small conversation and one of the things I just remember,

1775
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 8: I'm like, so, you know, what do you like about

1776
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 8: coming out here?

1777
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:25,639
Speaker 3: The most, like what's your highlight?

1778
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 8: And he was like, I get to drive the golf

1779
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:30,000
Speaker 8: cart because everywhere I've been for like the last.

1780
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 3: You know, eight years, I get driven. I don't get

1781
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 3: to drive no more.

1782
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:34,639
Speaker 8: So it's kind of out there. He gets a little

1783
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 8: bit more controlled. But it was it was a dope experience,

1784
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:37,680
Speaker 8: you know what I mean.

1785
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 3: It was just something that he was like.

1786
01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 8: Yo, keep going, keep doing your thing, and just you know,

1787
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 8: I was able to kind of capture that moment, you know,

1788
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:45,719
Speaker 8: with a photograph. So it was definitely one of those

1789
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 8: dope experience to be able to, you know, teach the

1790
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 8: vice president then, but now the president of the United States.
