37
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,720

38
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: But I eat dairy. I'm actually fasting from dairy right now.

39
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: But why because I'm doing a seven day fast with

00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: my team so we can have clarity because we have

44
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: little different than my struggle male because when I used

45
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: to struggle, I was eating meat, so it was like

46
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: regular ground beef. But now I haven't had meat for

47
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: six years excluding seafood. Um, So we're using impossible meat

48
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,839

00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: If you didn't know, you wouldn't know. Well, I'm just

50
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: curious to see, Like, how do you know an impossible

51
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: meat is cooked? Because I would assume it's fake meat.

52
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: It's brown. Oh, well, you're gonna today, so we're gonna

Speaker 1: the hood of Dallas. But you know what's crazy. When

152
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 1: I was growing up, I didn't It wasn't like I

153
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: felt like I grew up in poverty. I never knew,

154
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: you know, until I was older, like an adult, and

155
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: I was like, it's just like the hood. Now do

156
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: you think that's because then the environment you were in

157
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: was all the same or like what made you realize

158
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: later I needed for nothing? It wasn't like I grew

159
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: up in, like, you know, a horrible living situation. So

160
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: it was it was good. You know, all the fresh gear,

161
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: did I I mean, yeah, I'm like, you know, and

162
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 1: then you know, I got older. In high school, I

163
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: started doing hair and my grandmother's kitchen. So I was

164
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: making bank, y'all. In high school, I really thought I

165
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: was popping. I started traveling and stuff because I was

166
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: making so much money. I didn't have bills and I

167
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: was living with my grandmother. So I mean for entrepreneur,

168
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: very early early, And where'd you learn how to do

169
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: hair from? I taught myself. I just randomly started breaking

170
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: my doll's hair. That's one moms it. So I randomly

171
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: started doing hair, and then I was good at it.

172
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: If I see something, I can do it. Yeah, you

173
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: know how badly I want to learn how to do

174
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: corn worl I'm gonna I'm gonna test out this theory

175
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 1: on dolls. I guarantee it's not gonna come out as

176
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: good as yours. Yeah. So I started making money. Your

177
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: young entrepreneur, I did a lot of stuff. I was

178
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: in network marketing. Like anything I put my mind to,

179
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: I could sell it. But I would only sell stuff

180
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm believe in though, so it didn't have to be

181
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: like you know, so commercially and addie. I was like,

182
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: if I like the product, I'm gonna sell it. Where

183
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: did you get your entrepreneurs from. I don't know, was

184
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: there there was no entrepreneurs in your family? Now up around,

185
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm like the first that I'm in. My dad's a pastor,

186
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: my mom was a pharmacist. Yeah, my grandmother's are tired.

187
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: So I used to always think that in order to

188
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: be an entrepreneur. Now you have just ended my theory

189
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: that you had to have grown up in a home

190
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: where you had came by one. I don't think so.

191
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 1: So there's people that go to school for entrepreneurship, and

192
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm always like, but I feel like our generation is like,

193
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: not first generation. Of course, there's been entrepreneurs for decades decades,

194
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: but our generation is a lot of first generation millionaires

195
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 1: and entrepreneurs. Like it's like, you know, you know, we

196
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: just have access to a lot of stuff, and when

197
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: you believe you can do something, you literally can. So

198
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: so I just knew. I was always in the arts.

199
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: I grew up like dancing, acting, theater, doing hair, anything creative.

200
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: I did not want to do anything outside of that.

201
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: Going to get a job was never in my cards.

202
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: It was never even thought about it. No one in

203
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 1: your household was like, get a job, Well, obviously you

204
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: started obviously like I had 's like I was a waitress,

205
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: I worked at um boutique I had, but I never

206
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: I knew it was all temporary. Yeah, I used that

207
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: to like save my money and at night I was

208
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: in the studio where I was hustling or you know,

209
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,839
Speaker 1: doing doing hair. What was your childhood dreams? I wanted

210
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 1: to be a hair stylist and do music. I wanted

211
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: to own hair salons and be I thought I was

212
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: gonna be on story or something that never happened. Well,

213
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: not each, not yet, not yet. So um, so you're

214
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: you're actively you say you want to do hair and

215
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: all this stuff, but you actually aren't doing it in

216
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: high school. So technically you're hitting these milestones. So what happens?

217
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,719
Speaker 1: You end up moving the needle forward more every time

218
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: you accomplish something. Yeah, and just you know, the more

219
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: I did, the more I was never satisfied. So I

220
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: always wanted the next name. That's a good and a

221
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: bad thing, y'all. Like when she reached that goal, it's like, Okay,

222
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: what's next, what's next? What's next? But you also have

223
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: to appreciate all the milestones that you did hit. I

224
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: don't think I still think I have a problem with

225
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: that to this day, Like I'm appreciating the milestones kind

226
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: of like Okay, I did that, was next? I did

227
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: that was next? Okay, great, Okay, what's next? Like I

228
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: did that already. I feel like one of the consistent

229
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: things I noticed been interviewing successful, successful, successful people is

230
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: that you guys hit the milestone and then you're like,

231
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: what's next? So if that was good, she's kind of

232
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 1: a drug, like I don't know, like that manifestation ship

233
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: and like reaching your goals. It's just like proven to

234
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: yourself and it's not a game. But it's like kind

235
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: of like anything I say out of my mouth, anything

236
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: I put my mind too, is going to happen. I

237
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 1: don't worry about the how, I don't worry about the wind.

238
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: I just know what's gonna happen. Where do you think

239
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: you get You got that from them? God? Seriously, God,

240
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: Like it was just in me from birth. I don't,

241
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: honestly don't know, Like I have no idea, just I

242
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: was born with it. I guess. So looking at you today,

243
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 1: you're a wall and out. You're a viral sensation influencer.

244
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: That's what they say. What's the definition of sensation? Because

245
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: I'm canceled, You're canceled. That's good. That's good though it

246
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: is honestly, it's really good because as long as people

247
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: are talking about you, obsessing over you and watching your

248
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: videos and having something to say, you're on everybody's mind,

249
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: which because you slave it over the stone. This takes

250
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: a while, it's I know, but it's just some still

251
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 1: a ran pieces. So was there ever point in your

252
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: career coming up that you doubted yourself where something happened

253
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 1: where you were like, Okay, maybe I'm doing a bit much.

254
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say doubt it myself, but it's definitely been

255
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: mill stones, Like, I mean, you know, tough things to

256
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: fight through, but I always knew. I never in my

257
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: mind got to a point where I was like, this

258
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: isn't gonna happen. Never, But there was a point where

259
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: there was like a little bit of oh my god, yeah,

260
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: I've never been out the house I was living in.

261
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: I was making a thousand dollars a week with no

262
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: bills at like twenty years old. That is a lot

263
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: of fun, like just doing hair and kicking it and traveling,

264
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: and I you know, then I was like, Okay, I'm

265
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: gonna save some money. I'm gonna get a car. I

266
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: spent like seven grand on a car or something. And

267
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: then I was working at a strip club, not stripping.

268
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't think nobody would come see me shrip and

269
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: I'll be doing the chicken hands. Um. But I was

270
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: a waitress and I was like I had I hated it.

271
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 1: I saved my money, got my car, and I was like,

272
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna save up three thousand dollars. I'm gonna moved

273
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: to Atlanta. Why Atlanta? It was either Atlanta or l A.

274
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 1: In l A, I was like, in my mind, way

275
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: too expensive. And I came to visit Atlanta a lot.

276
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: I love the culture. I love kicking it with my

277
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: people out here. I love the blackness. Yeah, I was

278
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: just saying that. Today I went out and it was

279
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: the first time I went out and everybody was black everywhere. Yeah.

280
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: The only dun type was I was at Walmart and

281
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: I felt like all the shows were empty and I

282

Speaker 1: didn't know what we're trying to get. I was trying, yeah, exactly. Yeah,

304
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,520

305
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: you have to remember that if you truly believe it,

306
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: it will be temporary. I knew it was. Yes, I

307
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: had nights where I cried, Yes I had stressful moments,

308
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: but it was never like I'm sleeping on the floor.

338
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: coming out, say, Atlanta? What was your end goal in

339
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: your mind? I'm gonna be a uh superstar. I'm gonna

340
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 1: do music. I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna do music.

341
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I mean, of course acting and I was

342
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 1: always in theater. I never never thought about myself being

343
00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: a comedian. Stand up comedian is ever ever. So you're

344
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: out here with jobs. How does a girl moving out

345
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: here with three jobs, struggling pursuing music end up becoming

346
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 1: be simone? As we all don't like what what happened.

347
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,679
Speaker 1: What were those moves that happened? Really? I mean I

348
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: was in the studio every night, I was recording. I

349
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,879
Speaker 1: put out a project. None of that stopped. Like I

350
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 1: put out a project, it's it's still got music on

351
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: iTunes and you can like look it up. Um, I

352
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: make like ten dollars a month off of it. Nobody

353
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: listens to that. Um. And you know I was in

354
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: the studio. It was literally like get a bed or

355
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: pay for studios. But once social media took off, like Instagram,

356
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: I took advantage of that. If this is what's popping

357
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 1: right now, this is what I'm gonna use. And I

358
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:55,399
Speaker 1: took advantage of Instagram eight years ago when you know,

359
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 1: it wasn't that many people on They're doing comedy, It

360
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: wasn't oversaturated, it wasn't it was a brand new act.

361
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: So you got an Instagram before fun? Yes, yes, I

362
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: didn't have you didn't you know? I use Instagram, but

363
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: I came from my Space. You know, use my space.

364
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: I had my top eight, I had my music on

365
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: my Space. I was, you know, yeah popular on my Space.

366
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: And I took it to p Interest, and I took

367
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: it to Facebook. Then I took it to Instagram, so

368
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 1: my I think my you know tribe or whatever followed

369
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: me all over. But of course it was nothing like

370
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: how it is now. But um, social media made me

371
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: a comedian. I'm telling you all, people will tell you

372
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: what they want from you. Do not without compromising who

373
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: you are in your roles. Give the people what they want.

374
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: I would post my music, it would get four thousand likes.

375
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: I would post a comedy video, it would get four

376
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: hundred thousand. Well, I'm gonna give you all this, you know,

377
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: and you can still do it in certain ways. Do

378
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: a comedy skit and play your music in the background,

379
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,120
Speaker 1: or do a comedy skit and shout out to music later.

380
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: But they didn't want my music, you know, so I

381
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: gave them comedy. If you had to range yourself between entrepreneur, comedian,

382
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: music artists talent on screen like after actress, which one

383
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: would you say? Would you rate yourself as number one entrepreneur?

384
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that. I didn't want to say

385
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: you like sneur because everything is under that umbrella, and

386
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: it's Jesus, I hate that click click What does that do?

387
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: It's just it's just the light, the light lighting you're

388
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: so cute. Should we put the top on? Let it

389
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: get warm? You are absolutely adorable. Yeah, entrepreneur. Everything else

390
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: is under that umbrella. So entrepreneur is my comedy side, like,

391
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, doing stand up, studying that, selling merge, making

392
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 1: people laugh, putting out a stand up special, having them watch,

393
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 1: you know, like all of that is entrepreneurial. And then

394
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 1: um be Simon beauty, cosmetic line, entrepreneur this, you know,

395
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: and and there's so much of touch on with you

396
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: because you're so multifacet I've watched you over the years,

397
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: and I've watched you. I want to say, I don't

398
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: want to say it, and I get it wrong and

399
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: then you but I want to say, I've watched you

400
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: make your first million on Instagram. I watched you experience

401
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: to tell you something, it was one of the best.

402
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: I'm one of those people that get really happy for

403
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 1: other people. You went a lot out. I'm like, I'm like, yeah, yeah,

404
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 1: go for it. But that was one of the first

405
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 1: things I manifested publicly, like with my audience, and that's

406
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: to me, not gonna tear up for sure, trying not to.

407
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: I felt like from a woman's standpoint, that was not

408
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: from a woman. Just from anyone's standpoint, it was monumental

409
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: that you you literally opened up the behind the scenes

410
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: and like what it felt like, and you documented it wild.

411
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 1: It was one of the most amazing things I had

412
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: ever seen. And I I was I was impactive and

413
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: it even from and you know how hard it took

414
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: to take the chance. And I think in your case,

415
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: you were buying the stuff up front. Yeah, so you

416
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: needed it to sell, so you're like, you know, yeah,

417
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: you were doing things. But even going into that, like

418
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: people don't understand. Like the biggest lesson that I even

419
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: got from it was the belief because I publicly said

420
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: I'm going to be a millionaire. I said it first,

421
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: but not just to myself, not to my friends. I

422
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: said it publicly, like on April five, I'm gonna have

423
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: a million dollars in my account. Once the cameras went off,

424
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, Like, now what do we do?

425
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,719
Speaker 1: Like you, I believed it, though, like having that belief

426
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: publicly and putting it out there are like y'all have

427
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: to believe what you are saying and what you are

428
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: chasing and what you are fighting for, Like it's the

429
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: belief you're not. People are so worried about how it's

430
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 1: gonna happen and when it's gonna happen that they don't

431
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: believe it's going to happen. Stop worrying about the how

432
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: and the when. God got that. You just believe it's coming. Now.

433
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: When you look at a project as an entrepreneur, do

434
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: you look at your passion and like the vision of

435
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: your your idea come into life, like your beauty line

436
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: and came to life. Or do you look at the

437
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: numbers gotta make sense? No, because it always don't make sense.

438
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: I got a thirty dollar be some own beauty fucking

439
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: truck that I had a whole vision for it, and

440
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: it's been sitting for a year at the warehouse. Like

441
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,200
Speaker 1: that didn't makes sense, But I I knew what made

442
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: sense to me. Sometimes I lose money sometimes, like I'm

443
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: not money driven, though I'm not scared to invest and

444
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: lose money and put out money in hopes of something

445
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: greater coming from it. I don't hold on into money

446
00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:59,959
Speaker 1: like that. Do you ever get scared about going by

447
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: to a spaghetti No? No, because you even die forbid.

448
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: If I did, I know how to get how to

449
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: get out of it. You know what I mean, Like

450
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 1: I did it once. Anything that you have done one time,

451
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: you can do again. It's really really in you, like

452
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 1: you can do it again. You know. But let's let's

453
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: sit down, because I feel like I am You're literally

454
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: at the soul for all y'all listeners. We've been talking

455
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: this whole time. We haven't even set a right think

456
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: about to make your plaints because I'm feeling like, yeah,

457
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna love it because I'm starving. Thank you and impossibly,

458
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: she said, thank you, thank you so much. This is impossible.

459
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: Like that's more than enough. Trust me, I'll be asking

460
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: so many questions. We see I want to bager scoop.

461
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: See okay, okay, I gotta get the good scoop. But

462
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: out of stuff, get littlemo and flipped it like that.

463
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: You know what I was kind of secretly hoping when

464
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: I was shopping she would have added cheese, but then

465
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: it was vegan, but you're not vegan. I'm not vegan.

466
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: I actually would have added cheese if I wasn't doing

467
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,719
Speaker 1: you know fast. Okay, Let's let's try this. Okay, their guy,

468
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: thank you for this food. We're about to receive the nourishment.

469
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: Of our bodies. And I hope she liked it. Amen,

470
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: I will definitely like it. There's only three ingredients, y'all. Well, actually,

471
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: I mean besides the season. So as far as affordability,

472
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: this this is extremely affordable. Wow, you can't even say

473
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: it's impossible meat. I had no idea, but it makes

474
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: me feel better knowing it's impossible meat does it? I

475
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: feel like people that eat meat it makes them feel

476
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: grossed out. Not grossed out, but like I won't want me. Oh.

477
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: My guilty pleasure is eating at vegan restaurants, Like I

478
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 1: just yeah, they have really good vegan. But then when

479
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: I go to a vegan person or to tell them

480
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: like the restaurant like, They're like, that's not real vegan.

481
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh really, okay, well I still like it.

482
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: They're not real vegan. Maybe they like do raw they're

483
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: like the vegan. Yeah, I don't know what they expect,

484
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,879
Speaker 1: but this is the vegan that I'm talking about. It

485
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:21,879
Speaker 1: tastes like real food. Have you been to real food

486
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: l A and in l A? But yeah, but apparently,

487
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 1: how do you do interviews like this? Because that's so good? Yeah?

488
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: Going going Almo, take another bite? Listeners will go home

489
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 1: and make this. It's so good, y'all. The meat is

490
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: busting tomato sauce. Oh, I'm glad you did get the

491
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: sauce because I thought I was like, what if she

492
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: gets like the white sauce. Yeah. I like the white

493
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: sause though, but oh but I mean it's theory in it.

494
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: So that was that was bad looking out and no

495
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: bees on this challenge. Wish me please pray for me

496
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: because I eat a lot of dairy. Could you have

497
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: predicted your success? Did you predict it? Yes? But I

498
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: didn't know what it looked like. I knew I was

499
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 1: going to be successful, but I didn't know what it

500
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: looked like. That's all. When people asked, like, where do

501
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: you see yourself in five years? What do you see here?

502
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, I didn't see myself here five years ago,

503
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: Like every little detail wasn't mapped out. I just knew

504
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: I was going to be successful. I knew I was

505
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: going to be financially stable. I knew I was going

506
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: to be doing what I loved. Whatever that looks like.

507
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: And that changes as you get older, and the things

508
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: I cared about when I first started, I don't care

509
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: about now you're like what the dream car? Like I

510
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: don't haven't had a car for three years. Like those

511
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: are things that you you have on your list? This that, that,

512
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: that the house. Do you think that's like a system

513
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: of like coming from being broke, Because yeah, I do

514
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: want the lamber getting yours for all those and that's fine,

515
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm saying, you know, like it changed as you got older,

516
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: Like do I want this truly because I want this

517
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: and it goes with my lifestyle and I need it

518
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: and I truly desire in my heart? Or is this

519
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: what I see on Instagram? Is this what I see

520
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: all successful black people doing? Is this what I've been

521
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: conditioned to think I want? I don't want that. I

522
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: actually love being driven around. I actually love sleeping in

523
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: the back of black trucks without people talking to me.

524
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 1: Actually love checking emails in the car and not worrying

525
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 1: about making a left or right. I actually love not

526
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: going anywhere when I'm in Atlanta and staying at home.

527
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 1: Why do I need a car? I travel nine of

528
00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: the year, you know what I mean? So when you

529
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: really think about what you personally need, that changes, and

530
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: don't let society or culture make you think you have

531
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: to go out and get these things. I didn't get

532
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: a car, but I did buy a diamond necklace and

533
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: it looks amazing. But but but I like jewelry, you know,

534
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: a little dainty. I love jewelry so cool. I got

535
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: the jewelry, but I don't need the car. Cool people

536
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 1: like buy property. Do I need a huge house right now? No,

537
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm single with no kids. Get a condo, like you

538
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Just do what works for you.

539
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: Do what works for you, don't do what society makes

540
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 1: you think you need to do. Do you feel like

541
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: you look at money differently from when you were broke.

542
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: I look at it the exact same way. My mindset

543
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: with money hasn't changed. I'm a little more like I

544
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: have an accountant now, I have a financial advisor. Like

545
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm more um I would say educated with my money,

546
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: where to put it, how to invest it. But I've

547
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: never had an attachment to money. Money just flows to me.

548
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,239
Speaker 1: To you, I feel like you'd use money as a

549
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: tool to make more money, absolutely absolutely, But I feel

550
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: like that was your relationship your entire life. I just

551
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,239
Speaker 1: want to be financially stable. You don't want to live

552
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: paycheck to patrick. I want to be able to have

553
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 1: convenience and live the way I want to live. Anything

554
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: extra on top of that, it's just a bonus. So

555
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: would you be comfortable taking me back to when you

556
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: were working those three jobs? But it was like quitting day.

557
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Like I want to know the quitting

558
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 1: day or the fire. Yeah. I don't think I ever

559
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: got fired, but I remember quitting. Here are out the

560
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: hair are us, man, I never had my boothrin And

561
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: them ladies was like, it's okay, we know we watched

562
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:10,959
Speaker 1: the tapes. You didn't do no clients, man, those my girls,

563
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: Cat and Ashley they had they hired me. I was

564
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 1: a hair artist ambassador while working at their Salona here

565
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and um, I remember telling them like, I'm

566
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: making more money on social media than I am here

567
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 1: and it just doesn't make sense for me to do

568
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: hair anymore. Like I was over working for not a

569
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: lot of money, you know what I mean. And I

570
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: even if you're still a hair stalace or you have

571
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 1: your own brand or whatever, you have got to find

572
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: a way to make money without labor. You have got

573
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: to find a way to make money without physical labor.

574
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: So if I am a hair styalus while I'm sleep.

575
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: There should be something on my website that is selling.

576
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: I should have a product. I should not only be

577
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: able to make money if I am working. So you're

578
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: talking about like sleep money, sleep money. So if I'm

579
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: a hair stylist, okay, I'm doing hair, I need to

580
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: be selling products. So if I don't have ten clients

581
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: that week, maybe I got ten sales. Oh wow, oh

582
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 1: you hair stylus. You get what I'm saying. So if

583
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 1: I but but now, what do you tell a hairstylus

584
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: that is braiding hair independently she doesn't have a big

585
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: following or what have you. And you're like, well, you

586
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 1: can maybe try a different lane like products or what

587
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: have you what because you know what recently I went

588
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: to get a facial, for example, and you know, before

589
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: you leave the facial appointment, they're like, oh, you need

590
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: to products, and you walk out there a product you'll

591
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: probably never use. I worked at Altar. I did that

592
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: every day. You know, So sell something you believe in

593
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: because it's not hard to sell because you don't have

594
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: to be do a commercial and add and talk people

595
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: into sell something you truly use and you truly believe

596
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,239
Speaker 1: in because you know it's like I believe in this.

597
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 1: That's how wasn't my bimal beauty. I was like, I

598
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 1: am not selling this until I love the formula up

599
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: because if I don't believe in it, I'm gonna have

600
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: to sell it. But if I believe in I'm like, girl,

601
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: this is thick, this is creamy. It lasts all day.

00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 1: You don't leave that white line like I love my

00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,280
Speaker 1: lip gloss. It's I'm just talking to you. I don't

604
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 1: have to sell it to you. So sell something you

605
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: believe in and you're just telling the truth about the product.

606
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: It's not a whole commercial. Yeah wow, Where did you

607
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,120
Speaker 1: get all your sales skills from? I don't know. I

608
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: actually learned a lot um with different people I've worked with. UM.

609
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: I learned a lot of skills from somebody that was

610
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: on my team, UM that I no longer worked with.

611
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 1: But the entrepreneurial skills were always in me. I literally

612
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 1: was selling snacks in elementary school. So it's like I

613
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 1: would make I don't know if you did y'all do

614
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: this in New York, like the Starburst rappers and stuff

615
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: and bracelets, I would sell them like I would make

616
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:50,719
Speaker 1: them and sell them. People like, well, I can make

617
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: that myself. I was like I would be like, okay,

618
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: go make it. Then they'd be like, nah, I'll just

619
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: buy it. Yeah, this is gonna take you hours, and

620
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here making it like I would just make stuff.

621
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: I think some people assume that entrepreneurship in sales, like

622
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to know how to sell if you're

623
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur. I always don't, really, I feel like it's essential.

624
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: I feel I don't feel like you have to know

625
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: how to seal. I feel like you have to sell

626
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: something you believe in because I'm not trying to talk

627
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: you into it. I'm just telling you about something that

628
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 1: I believe in, a product that I believe in, you know.

629
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you do have to know how

630
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: to sale. But I don't feel like I've ever been

631
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 1: a salesperson, No, I get it. I feel like I

632
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:30,040
Speaker 1: always tell people sales is great customer service. You know,

633
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: it makes sense. You know, I don't sell a product

634
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: I definitely don't wouldn't sell it. You can't sell a

635
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 1: product you don't believe in. That would definitely not be

636
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: good customer service. But I always definitely play on what

637
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,320
Speaker 1: the really it's marketing. Yeah, marketing, that really is it?

638
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 1: Like marketing makes your sales, marketing marketing, marketing, marketing makes

639
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: your sales. So did I fually get the answer out

640
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 1: of like what what you what you felt like when

641
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: you re leave these jobs? Oh? Yeah, like I said, um,

642
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,000
Speaker 1: here are us? I basically just told them. I was like,

643
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: it's just not making sense to me, like I'm slaving

644
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,720
Speaker 1: and working and doing hair and I got I couldn't

645
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 1: say no to a client, Like if a client, I'm like,

646
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm booked today, I'll come at six am bit pull

647
00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: up like I would not never could. I didn't want

648
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: to miss the sale. I didn't want to miss the

649
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,439
Speaker 1: money and I needed it. So I would work very,

650
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: very hard and I made good money, but you know,

651
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 1: it just wasn't enough. And so how is that? How

652
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: much with social media giving you? If you don't mind

653
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: me asking, Well, that's the and when that's what I'm saying,

654
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:37,719
Speaker 1: Like at that time, I would make like a hundred

655
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: dollars for a picture post, but if it's so in,

656
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,880
Speaker 1: it's two hundred dollars and that takes two and a

657
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: half hours, and it takes me two minutes to post

658
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 1: the picture that that's not adding up to me? You

659
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So you're you're also looking at

660
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: time equals money. You're not just looking at money as

661
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 1: a tool. You're looking at time is money and money

662
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 1: is time. Yes, because if I post two pictures that

663
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 1: week and I only have one I in that week,

664
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: that's still equivalent to the you know what I mean?

665
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: So did you spend most of your free time trying

666
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: to figure out ways to increase that line of revenue?

667
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: Making skits of skits with me and Bessie ranting videos.

668
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,720
Speaker 1: I was always posting, always looking for endorsements, brand deals. Um,

704
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:02,279

710
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: on social media. But y'all gotta think like I was

711
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: in my first girl group when I was fifteen. Yeah,

712
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: I was traveling with them, I was performing with them.

713
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: Like so this has been years and years and people

714
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: always assume that it's just like prettiness, it's oh you

715
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: have And then you got to think, at some point

716
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 1: you had to perfect your comedy, right, So what was

717
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:49,280
Speaker 1: that like? Yeah, because I mean Instagram is totally different

718
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: than you know, performing live and I never had a

719
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: desire to do that. But once again, it was back

720
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: when I was struggling, and they were like, all right,

721
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: so we'll give you. You've seen hundred for this comedy. Well,

730
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,920

00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: you don't like them, don't laugh. And yeah, so I

741
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 1: did it. I wasn't up there for ten minutes. I

742
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: got that fifteen hundred dollar check and baby never looked bad.

743
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,040
Speaker 1: And then from there you don't obviously still do that checklist,

744
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, no, no, no no, But that's amazing. Yeah,

745
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:07,160

747
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,439
Speaker 1: will turn these kids up. Whatever. But at that time,

748
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: in one sitting, that's a lot of money when you're broke. Now,

749
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: how did you go from that to wilding out? Yeah?

750
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 1: I actually went to a While and out casting call

751
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:28,799

760
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: but they laugh and they were not at this point,

761
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,640

763
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,840

00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 1: every like videos are just viral all the time. But viral,

767
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: like back in two thousand and sixteen was like Rihanna

768
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: reposted my ship Chris Brown. Kind like back then it

769
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: was like Rihanna know I DM her? She never answered

770
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: that like reading, but um, yeah, So I went viral

771
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: and then it was just from there, like they knew

772
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:35,440
Speaker 1: who I was a little bit, but they were like,

773
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean, she's the Instagram comedian, Like we're not about

774
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: to put her on the show. That was kind of

775
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: before they started doing that. Yeah, so you do that,

776
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 1: you tell the joke, they think it's funny. Then what happened.

777
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: They told me to sit to the side, and I waited,

778
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 1: like the whole rest of the casting hall were you

779
00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: calling your friends like, oh my god, what does this mean? No?

780
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,200
Speaker 1: I just sat there. I was like, Okay, I don't

781
00:41:54,239 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: I guess we're gonna talk whatever. And then um, we

782
00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: end up going out to eat and I didn't hear

783
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:02,240
Speaker 1: nothing from them for two years, literally like almost two years.

784
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: I was like, they really not working with me, and then, um,

785
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: I don't remember how it happened how it went from that,

786
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 1: but uh, I think actually Dolly probably Dolly comes over,

787
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: you know why, because Nick didn't believe in me at first.

788
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 1: He was like, I don't see it, like all this year,

789
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 1: my boy man, baby, Yeah, like I don't get it.

790
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: I don't see it. Dolly was like I'm telling you her,

791
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,760
Speaker 1: Nile and a couple of other people were like fighting

792
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: for me, and it was like all right, like I

793
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: guess we'll see. And then you know, one year we

794
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 1: shot in Atlanta and as soon as I came out,

795
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: the whole crowd was like face like saying all the

796
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: beast tone and Nick was like, you know, and then

797
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 1: after like he started being like, all right, you got it,

798
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: Like you're a star, You're from your heart to your talent.

799
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: Like I didn't see it at first. That was my bad.

800
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take that on the chin, But you really

801
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 1: are a star. Did you know that when you were

802
00:42:56,640 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: doing that at the time, And I'm glad while yeah, yeah,

803
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: I was gonna say that. I didn't wanna. I think

804
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: I would have been in my head like let me

805
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:08,359
Speaker 1: prove myself, or the opposite, like you don't even really

806
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: want me here? Why am I here? But I didn't.

807
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: I didn't. I was just like they love me, Nick

808
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 1: loves me. Now do you feel pressured nowadays? Like because

809
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: you have you're an entrepreneur, you're a comedian, you're you're

810
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: in the podcast space, you're you're a multitasking entreprenour visionary.

811
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: Do you feel pressured to stay on top? It depends

812
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 1: on what your definition of on topic is really, Like

813
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 1: you have a there's one thing to go viral, there's

814
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: another thing to have a following. Like I feel like

815
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 1: if you put a product out for all your brands

816
00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: out there be some all drops of product. It's going

817
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: to sell, it's going to more people are going to

818
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,760
Speaker 1: go to where you're at. So um, not always, not always.

819
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's you know, you gotta you can't be lazy

820
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: with it. Just because I post something, don't mean we're

821
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,439
Speaker 1: selling we you know, we don't have so many sales

822
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 1: or be someone weady. We're trying to get that up

823
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: out of that warehouse. Were like sixties nine percent off

824
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: please somebody. You gotta be honest. Month you have a

825
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 1: dollar month, and the next month you can have a

826
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: five thousand dollar months. It depends on the marketing, It

827
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,600
Speaker 1: depends on people's pockets. It depends on if I'm canceled,

828
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, like people, I'm not supporting

829
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 1: her now or whatever. But I think it depends on

830
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: what your definition of success is, because really I'm trying

831
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: to figure out ways to never have to be on

832
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: Instagram again. I want to get off. You're all about

833
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 1: sleep money. I want to get off of social media.

834
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: It takes up too much of my time. It's it's

835
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: time consuming, it's I just want to get picked up.

836
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: When you're like social media people for you, it's also

837
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:49,840
Speaker 1: money consumers. So when the regular persons on it, they scroll,

838
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,680
Speaker 1: they're like, oh these and they're scrolling and they're clicking

839
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 1: them pretty people and fancy life because that's what we

840
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 1: all do. I do that too. I was gonna ask

841
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: do you do that too? Or you're looking at it

842
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: like what's my metrics today? It's both. It's oh, I

843
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 1: have to be on Instagram because I'm a business woman.

844
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:08,399
Speaker 1: And then you get on Instagram and don't do ship

845
00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: they got to do with business. You sit there and

846
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: be like, I'm gonna be on for twenty minutes and

847
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 1: then you're on there for two hours. It's it's literally

848
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: a millennial addiction. Yes, well, they said that the social

849
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,879
Speaker 1: media was created to waste time, and it's funny because

850
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:28,279
Speaker 1: that's exactly what it's doing. So I'm trying to figure

851
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 1: out ways to not have to rely on social media

852
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,680
Speaker 1: for my income, which you know, for you don't yeah,

853
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: you know, thank god, But the internet is definitely an

854
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 1: outlet for me to make I'll make a lot of

855
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: money on internet. Good to know. He's just like, I'm

856
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 1: just trying to get off of it. I'm like, I'm

857
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: about to put this money into real estate and be

858
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:52,359
Speaker 1: on an island somewhere and post randomly like I don't

00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: top two hundred since we launched in the world like

869
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: we haven't. It's just mind blowing. We knew we we

870
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 1: know we're gonna be number one, but we didn't know

871

Speaker 1: it's gonna be this you describe your podcast. Our podcast

875
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: saying we have all the answers. We're not saying we're right,

876
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: we're not saying we're wrong. We're just having the conversations.

880
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: lot of your success has been keeping it real? That's

881
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: how I got to this point solely being myself, not

882
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,840
Speaker 1: hiding anything. And of course the Internet doesn't have to

883
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: know everything about me, but there's not really much I've

884
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: hid from the Internet, honestly, Like I walk in my truth.

885
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: Anything I say, um, it's my reality. So yeah, there's

886
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: never been like a Crunsworthy. While I shouldn't maybe I

887
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 1: shouldn't post it. I went through that after I was

888
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: canceled for saying certain things or given my opinion. But

889
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: the world was just in a really weird time, like

890
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: it was the Black Lives Matter, then it was um COVID.

891
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 1: The world was very dark during that time, and it

892
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: was a lot of pain and a lot of suffering,

893
00:47:43,680 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 1: and you had to tread very lightly. That's when it

894
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: took a shift from like, Okay, I can say whatever

895
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: I want to say, I'm Dave Chappelle, I'm Richard prior

896
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: to okay, now I can't so that I feel like

897
00:47:55,320 --> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 1: two thousand. That was that shift of like inscitivity. Everybody

898
00:48:01,239 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: is so fucking sensitive. I'm like I can be like,

899
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: oh I love water. Wow, you don't like juice? Wow?

900
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,840
Speaker 1: So you hate juice? You love water? Oh my god?

Speaker 1: be someone hates juice and they should never support her again.

904
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,680
Speaker 1: I didn't say I hated juice. I said I like water.

905
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 1: Be scarier. I feel like we're in an age where

906
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,400
Speaker 1: it's in the lose age. And that's why I canceled.

907
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: Culture exists like nobody wants to be the I hate

908
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: to say the word loser, but nobody wants to be

909
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: last place loser. Everybody wants to be equal, and I'm

910
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: not saying there we all are equal. Luckily, I'm not

911
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,400
Speaker 1: big enough to be canceled yet, but I feel like

912
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 1: we create an environment where we're so sensitive that we're

913
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,839
Speaker 1: no longer keeping real. Like I don't want to get

914
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 1: into the gender thing, but even with genders and all

915
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 1: this stuff, it's just like no idy worlds. Just call

916
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,880
Speaker 1: blue blue. Yeah, we're all afraid to call it. People

917
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 1: just going off based off emotion. Because the same people

918
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: that canceled me will walk up to me and be like,

919
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 1: can you sign my book? I'd like I thought I

920
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 1: was a platress, Like you know what I'm saying, Like

921
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,920
Speaker 1: I love your book, Okay, cool, Like I was. You know,

922
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:22,240
Speaker 1: It's it's never like y'all are going off of emotion.

923
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,640
Speaker 1: You're mad in the moment, and then in two months later,

924
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna be buying my lip loss like you because

925
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: it's just people are episodic? Are you? I've never even

926
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,240
Speaker 1: heard that word, But are you afraid of cancel culture?

927
00:49:35,320 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 1: Not anymore. I've been canceled so many times. It's a joke.

928
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: And literally my last post on Instagram, my last solo

929
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,400
Speaker 1: picture or the last one. I have a shirt that

930
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,680
Speaker 1: says canceled and the caption is Jesus is My Savior.

931
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: He calls the shots. Did you make that shirt? I

932
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: got it from my homeboy, his clothing line, But that

933
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 1: is the caption. Like somebody was like, how are you

934
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 1: talking about Jesus? And the picture is saying fuck you.

935
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: It's literally a ger that says fuck you and it

936
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: says canceled, and it goes hand in hand. You cannot

937
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 1: cancel me. This was predestined before I was in my

938
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 1: mother's womb. There is nothing that a man on this

939
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: earth can do that it's going to keep me away

940
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: from my purpose. So Jesus is my savior. He calls

941
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,279
Speaker 1: the shots. And it's as simple as that. I'm not

942
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,319
Speaker 1: scared of humans anymore. When I went through that ship,

943
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 1: it sucked me up though. The first cancel what I

944
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 1: was in my room crying, like why am I crying

945
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:30,359
Speaker 1: over in Twitter, I was sad, man, what advice would

946
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:33,720
Speaker 1: you give to somebody that's trying to be in your shoes,

947
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: because it sounds like you have to have you do

948
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: you do, and you have to know who you are

949
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,600
Speaker 1: and you have to have a good team. And the

950
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: thing that sticks with me the most is my best

951
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 1: friend Megan, my business partner that's on my podcast. She

952
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 1: just kept telling me, what is the truth? What is

953
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: the truth? What is the truth? Do these people know

954
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: you know? Are your plagress? No? Uh? Should? We just

955
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: started listing all of these truths. We just made a

956
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 1: list of truths and she was like, at the end

957
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,320
Speaker 1: of the day, she shown me the this is the truth,

958
00:51:01,400 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 1: no matter who believes it. You focus on this. It

959
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 1: don't matter who believes it. The truth is the truth.

960
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:08,800
Speaker 1: And you don't have to believe that. This is white.

961
00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: At the end of the day, that's the truth. If

962
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: you don't believe it, that's on you. That's white. So

963
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: remember that the truth is the truth. And if the

964
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 1: truth these are a fucked up person, fix it, change

965
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: become up better person. But if the truth is these

966
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: people don't know you, You're a great person. You have

967
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 1: pure intentions, whatever focus on the truth. That's great advice. Thanks,

968
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,879
Speaker 1: that's really great, Megan. She helped me through that. You're

969
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:35,480

970
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: and they all live here. Most of them. Yeah, if

971

00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,919
Speaker 1: I am going to so this this was really didn't

00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 1: like this. This was really good. But beasts smone is

974
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:55,800
Speaker 1: very captivated. So when you're doing an interview, so listeners,

975
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:00,959
Speaker 1: I'm not lying because really, if you see the video,

Speaker 1: my husband down there to eat someone. So, Um, I

978
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,680
Speaker 1: just wanted to say thank you so much for coming

00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:15,400
Speaker 1: and being a breath of fresh air. Like honestly I was.

980
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 1: I was literally like and this. You know, I haven't

981
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: been to Atlanta often, but this trip, like there were

982
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: so many things that were coming at me that I

983
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: was like, maybe God doesn't want this trip. It's the

984
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,319
Speaker 1: devil messing with me. Um, I'm so glad I came

985
00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 1: out here. So you look how the enemy work. That

986
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: was the enemy trying to trick your mouth. Tricky trip.

987
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: You've been thinking like maybe God, no, the devil. You

988
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: got to know God's voice. Let me tell you how

989
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 1: much I believe that God didn't want this trip. I

990
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,319
Speaker 1: called up one of my friends who was like God faring,

991
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 1: and I said, how do you know when God talks

992
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,439
Speaker 1: to you? I'm like, you know how people say God

993
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: talks to them and says something to them. How do

994
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: you know? My friend was like, what do you? What

995
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:01,919
Speaker 1: are you how to find out? You know? Though, Yeah,

996
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: here's boys and God is never gonna tell you something

997
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: that's gonna I mean the depth when it's the devil,

998
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: it's always negative, it's always second guessing, it's always fear.

999
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: Oh okay, That's how I look at it, that God

1000
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: is never gonna put fear in you and make you

1001
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: second guess. Wow. Well, I've been in Atlanta for one

1002
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 1: day and meeting you, meeting some of the other people

1003
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: that I've met here, I can honestly say it was

1004
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 1: like the best gift I could have ever gifted myself.

1005
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm so glad like what you contribute, um, But anyways,

1007
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:51,440

1008
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,319
Speaker 1: And I was just telling people all camera people have

1009
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 1: said to me, oh, this show, it's it's not TV

1010
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: where they I'm like, why is it They're like, no, no, no,

1011
00:53:59,600 --> 00:54:02,760
Speaker 1: this is by like YouTube level, but not not TV worthy.

1012
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's it's the truth. People need to know

1013
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 1: that where you know, and it wasn't overnight special the

1014

1015
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: Just go viral. Have you already tried even getting ten?

1016
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:22,839
Speaker 1: Fol Let me just tell yourself that, okay, and that's

1017
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 1: the problem. Stop trying to go viral. Just put out

1018
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: content that you believe in. Just put out the content

1019
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: that you believe that you believe in. If I believe

1020
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 1: in something, I'm gonna put it out and the right

1021
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: people will find me. I'm not putting it out with

1022
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: the intent to go viral. You can't plan on going viral.

1023
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 1: Just put it out. So in the meantime, do you
