Speaker 5: So you got the first sixteen T shirts. You wasn't
Speaker 5: this wasn't like no lemonade. Then what was the story
Speaker 5: of how you sold the first sixteen?
Speaker 6: So I said, I sold the first sixteen all right.
Speaker 6: So before I started spargo, like I was, I was
Speaker 6: doing music, so I was a rapper, so I was posting. Uh,
Speaker 6: I sent out a message to everybody in my phone.
Speaker 6: I was posting on my Instagram like look, I got
Speaker 6: this new business venture and this spurgo. I posted the
Speaker 6: T shirts and everything like that, and you know, I sold.
Speaker 6: I sold out the first week. A lot of my
Speaker 6: family members, the friends, everybody was on it. And I
Speaker 6: sold out so quick. People are like pre ordering and
Speaker 6: people were just like the demand a little bit. It
Speaker 6: was up there, you know, about like five people, but.
Speaker 3: They all bought it.
Speaker 5: But how did you expend Like did you go out
Speaker 5: in your school?
Speaker 3: Where was you moving these shirts there?
Speaker 6: So so after the sixteen shirts and I got thirty
Speaker 6: two shirts, Like after like the five people got these shirts.
Speaker 6: From the thirty two, I started hitting the barbershop. So
Speaker 6: I started hitting every single barbershop, every single business and
Speaker 6: you know, the city of Philadelphia every weekend. This started
Speaker 6: to be like a thing, like you know how some kids.
Speaker 6: They do basketball practice every Saturday. This was like my
Speaker 6: basketball practice. Every every weekend. We would go out the
Speaker 6: every single barbershop, every single business, and I wouldn't come
Speaker 6: into the house unless every you know, T shirt was sold.
Speaker 6: So after it was thirty two shirts, then we were
Speaker 6: able to move on to I think it was like
Speaker 6: another batch of shirts, probably like forty shirts. Then we
Speaker 6: were able to move on the hoodies. So now it's wintertime,
Speaker 6: so it was in January February. Now it's wonder time.
Speaker 6: Now people able to get, you know, hoodies and things
Speaker 6: that they really, you know, wanted, and that's what I
Speaker 6: wanted in the beginning. I wanted hoodies and long sleeves,
Speaker 6: but I couldn't afford it. This was my birthday money
Speaker 6: that I was starting off with. So then I was
Speaker 6: able to move on to hoodies. And I kept moving,
Speaker 6: you know, to the barbershops and businesses, and people just
Speaker 6: started knowing me because everywhere I go, you know, I
Speaker 6: was rocking Spurgo. It was it was our white and
Speaker 6: black T shirt and it's a yellow logo that this
Speaker 6: is our original logo. If you see me in a
Speaker 6: mall I had on Spurgo, if you see me at
Speaker 6: my friend's birthday party. I had on Spurgo. I had
Speaker 6: the same T shirt on for months straight, and it
Speaker 6: was just getting I wanted to be annoying in people.
Speaker 6: So then even I was still at probably like three
Speaker 6: four thousand flowers, people were annoy using who I was.
Speaker 6: I remember one time we was at the mall True Religion,
Speaker 6: somebody was he was like screaming like yo, that's like
Speaker 6: that's him and everything like that, and that was real cool,
Speaker 6: you know, because I wasn't even like real big on Instagram, Facebook,
Speaker 6: none of that. People were just noticing who I was
Speaker 6: just because brand consistency and me staying consistent to you know,
Speaker 6: my brand. I wasn't wearing nothing else. I'll price for chatter, sneakers,
Speaker 6: the jeans, but the same T shirt for months straight,
Speaker 6: and that's how I got it.
Speaker 2: The bill, I like, I like a few things that
Speaker 2: you said there. The barbershop play, it's interesting because it's
Speaker 2: the center of influence, especially in a black community amongst men.
Speaker 2: So whose idea was it to target barbershops?
Speaker 6: So who I did? Was it a target barbershop? That
Speaker 6: was my mentor, my first mentor, me and Maya Davis
Speaker 6: so me and Mike Davis, I met, I shot him
Speaker 6: a d M before I even got my T shirts made,
Speaker 6: Before I even got my first T shirts, he gave
Speaker 6: me the course, and the course was just showing you,
Speaker 6: like what T shirts to get, you know, what T
Speaker 6: shirts to get, Like what good colors you know for
Speaker 6: brands like red and yellow? Was like a really you know,
Speaker 6: good color you know for any type of logo. That's
Speaker 6: why I'm seeing it like you know, food and a
Speaker 6: lot of just like red. It's seeing like a lot
Speaker 6: of different like logos across the board. So that course
Speaker 6: was just showing me, you know, like a lot of
Speaker 6: different things. But it was his idea to do the
Speaker 6: you know, barbershops. He told me to hit you know
Speaker 6: some barbershops. So I hit every single barbershop, every single business.
Speaker 6: We even started moving to Camden a little bit because
Speaker 6: we hit all the barbershops in Philly. So I were
Speaker 6: type in zip codes like barbershops and one nine one
Speaker 6: dot dot, and we would hit every single barbershop. Then
Speaker 6: we started moving to Camden and then that then from
Speaker 6: there we was doing like then from there we did
Speaker 6: the online store.
Speaker 5: I like, I like that you keep saying we because
Speaker 5: mom was obviously the we and crazing. But you said,
Speaker 5: it wasn't easy at first, right, you want into our
Speaker 5: first barbershop and it was.
Speaker 3: Like, what are we about to do in here?
Speaker 7: Yeah? We were both scared. Trey was petrified. I was
Speaker 7: scared for him because that was his first time. Like,
Speaker 7: you know, we went over kind of like what he
Speaker 7: was going to say, but it's nothing like when you're
Speaker 7: in that moment, you know, and it was just like
Speaker 7: we were in the you know, in South Philadelphia. But
Speaker 7: when we went in, he was like, you know, he
Speaker 7: whispered like to the guy. He was like, can I
Speaker 7: speak to the manager? And he was like, yeah, what's up?
Speaker 7: What's up? Bro? Yeah? And he was like can I,
Speaker 7: you know, can I make an announcement and sell my
Speaker 7: my my T shirts? He was like yeah, sure. So
Speaker 7: Trey got in the middle of the floor. It was
Speaker 7: like a long walk to the middle of the floor.
Speaker 7: He was scared, and then he was like he was like, hey, everybody,
Speaker 7: you know, I got my T shirts and you know
Speaker 7: I could be out selling drugs or doing violence. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: It was like kind of all over the place and
Speaker 7: this my brand spurg Oh. He kept going like this
Speaker 7: my brand Spurgo when I got T shirts all sizes
Speaker 7: all around, and so they were like in shock. They
Speaker 7: was like, wait, ho, turn the music there. Like everybody
Speaker 7: like stopped what they was doing. And it was probably
Speaker 7: like a very rewarding experience for me because I was
Speaker 7: nervous and it was just like mentorship, like right on
Speaker 7: the spot, like they embraced him, like they was like
Speaker 7: turning music down. You gotta say it over, you gotta
Speaker 7: say it speak up because everybody had Yeah, everybody had
Speaker 7: their phones out like they were reposting them and like
Speaker 7: you know, had them do it a couple of times
Speaker 7: like no, add this and you know, add that. And
Speaker 7: when that actually posted, he got like twenty thousand views.
Speaker 7: He went up like you know, over a thousand followers,
Speaker 7: like everybody was common and like you know, like and
Speaker 7: there was so much encouragement for him, you know when
Speaker 7: he first started off, and for me, it was just
Speaker 7: like it was like their reassurance like he gonna be alright,
Speaker 7: like he can. It was like he could do it.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 2: It's good story because it's a lot of times people
Speaker 2: make excuses in life and it's like all right, so
Speaker 2: you start with one hundred and somebody doll one hundred
Speaker 2: and forty seven dollars hundred seven, one hundred and seventy
Speaker 2: eight dollars, and you buy t shirts and then you
Speaker 2: flip it so without even probably you're knowing what you're doing.
Speaker 4: You reinvest in money.
Speaker 2: That's a business rule, right, You got to reinvest the profits,
Speaker 2: not just I make one hundred dollars and then I
Speaker 2: spend it. You reinvest in it until you got enough
Speaker 2: to buy a sweatshirt, and you reinvest until you got
Speaker 2: enough to buy a hoodie in a tracksuit, and the
Speaker 2: whole thing. And your marketing gorilla marketing and center of
Speaker 2: influences with a lot of people are around and they
Speaker 2: can spread the message and you don't have any any
Speaker 2: fear in doing it.
Speaker 4: That stops a lot of people right there.
Speaker 2: It's like just to be able to get in front
Speaker 2: of a barber shop in front of strangers and pitch yourself.
Speaker 4: That takes a lot of courage.
Speaker 2: And it's like even even for adults, Like there's a
Speaker 2: ton of adults are scared to tell their friends that
Speaker 2: they want to start a business, let alone a room
Speaker 2: full of strangers.
Speaker 3: You know, it's one thing if you did it in
Speaker 3: like your own barbershop.
Speaker 5: But you're going into some neighborhoods that ain't you know
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, Like you.
Speaker 3: Don't even know the people. That takes a lot of
Speaker 3: courage and dedication. Man.
Speaker 4: So were you able to put the merch in the
Speaker 4: shops like.
Speaker 6: We we uh further down the line, I put like
Speaker 6: some some I came ome with my first do rag,
Speaker 6: so I put some dog barbershops.
Speaker 7: So you did it with okay.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, so I did. I did put some merch
Speaker 6: in a few barbershops, and that was like my first
Speaker 6: piece of district distribution. Distribution. Yeah, but I was still
Speaker 6: going out the barber shops. Even when I did have uh,
Speaker 6: you know, some merch and barbershops, some Spurgo gear and barbershops.
Speaker 6: I was still going out the barber shops as well.
Speaker 6: So like that was like kind of like two streams
Speaker 6: a little bit, getting it from you know, that barbershop
Speaker 6: and then also going out to the barbershops. And also that
Speaker 6: was kind of like a pickup vocation as well. I
Speaker 6: would send people there when I sold out, you know,
Speaker 6: so that was kind of like a pick up vocation
Speaker 6: as well. And it was really it was really really cool.
Speaker 2: So Saturday, that's your Saturday routine. Was going to barber shops,
Speaker 2: like twenty barber shops in the city all day Saturday,
Speaker 2: and he was just selling hand in hand in the
Speaker 2: barber shop. So all right, So now you got a
Speaker 2: whole thing going with the barber shops and your name
Speaker 2: is building in the city, I'm assuming, so what's the
Speaker 2: next play after that to grow the brand?
Speaker 6: So after the barbershop, I was moving around in the
Speaker 6: city and somebody gave me, you know, diddy numbers to
Speaker 6: show a number, and.
Speaker 4: How did somebody that.
Speaker 3: Rewind?
Speaker 4: It's an important person that gave you his number.
Speaker 7: So so so Trey was moving around so much that
Speaker 7: it was just like it's almost like how can I help?
Speaker 7: You know, like people like because I think you know,
Speaker 7: when you working hard, it draws people to you. It's like,
Speaker 7: you know, like they want to be a part of
Speaker 7: helping you be successful. And it is roal people out
Speaker 7: here that really genuinely want to know.
Speaker 2: I'm glad you said that because that's something that is
Speaker 2: underrated too. Low of inertia, Yeah, low of inertia is
Speaker 2: like object emotion stays in emotion or object and still
Speaker 2: stay still, like once you get the ball rolling. And
Speaker 2: Wallow told me to shout out to Wallow. Yeah, we
Speaker 2: spoke every we speak a lot, but he was I
Speaker 2: was asking him. I'm like, yo, how you get all
Speaker 2: this bar stool?
Speaker 4: How?
Speaker 2: He was like, yo, once you get hot, bro, it's
Speaker 2: just like you just you just like things tracked like you.
Speaker 2: Energy attracts energy like energy, right, So it's like and
Speaker 2: people want to be around people that are successful.
Speaker 4: It's human nature.
Speaker 2: So it's like, once you really start to get that
Speaker 2: ball rolling, you'd be surprised how many blessings just randomly
Speaker 2: just start falling in your lot.
Speaker 7: It's been yeah, because it's like constantly working then so
Speaker 7: many people are. So it's like even if people don't
Speaker 7: notice you the first time, they may see you in
Speaker 7: another setting like wait, oh ya, I saw him before,
Speaker 7: like or I saw that brand, and then they're now
Speaker 7: they're now digging in their brain like where did I notice?
Speaker 7: Like so they're now researching him or where they saw
Speaker 7: him first. So it was like he you know, he's
Speaker 7: out here doing something positive, you know, inspiring other kids.
Speaker 7: So it's like, how can I help him to keep going?
Speaker 7: And he let you. Gave him the number.
Speaker 6: And first thing, honestly, first day out there was FaceTime
Speaker 6: can't pick up. So I made him a video. And
Speaker 6: that's one thing about me, like I'm big on the videos.
Speaker 6: Pictures is cool, but I do videos. I sent them
Speaker 6: a video. Hey, mister Shawn, my name is Chay Brown. Uh,
Speaker 6: my name is Chay Brown. I'm a twelve year old entrepreneur.
Speaker 6: Seeo my own clothing brand called Spurgo, and then everything
Speaker 6: like that, I'm gonna send you out the video. So
Speaker 6: after that, that was like mid July. I'm packing up
Speaker 6: shirts in August one morning and my phone just keeps
Speaker 6: on buzzing. It just constantly. It just kept on buzzing.
Speaker 6: I checked my phone and people telling me that, you know, Diddy,
Speaker 6: you know, shouting me out. Mister Sean shouted me out.
Speaker 6: And that was just like the big like a big
Speaker 6: step for me because a lot of people in Philly
Speaker 6: seeing it, So that stepped up my credibility. A lot
Speaker 6: of people you know, all over the world was just
Speaker 6: hit me up like yo, I need a shirt. But
Speaker 6: good thing is I had I set the website up
Speaker 6: in May so and he shouted me out. On August
Speaker 6: so now everybody all around the world able to order
Speaker 6: a Spurgo shirt and everything like that. So that was
Speaker 6: really cool. You know, people just wanting to help people,
Speaker 6: you know, sharing as well, you know. So that was
Speaker 6: the first step. That was the first day my website
Speaker 6: just sold out. Everything had sold out first day on
Speaker 6: the jet, my first day you know, inside of Maybag.
Speaker 6: So that day was really good. Later on, no, actually,
Speaker 6: from that post, I was able to get my first
Speaker 6: wholesale my first wholesale deal, and it was for five
Speaker 6: hundred shirts. They didn't want no discount or nothing like that.
Speaker 6: They ordered five hundred shirts that like, at the time,
Speaker 6: the shirts was twenty five dollars. That's why I said
Speaker 6: at the time, because they ain't twenty five. Yeah, so
Speaker 6: they was like twenty five at the time. Also at
Speaker 6: that time, I just gained some connections as well. A
Speaker 6: lot of people in his family. They you know, they
Speaker 6: knew me and they was like DM and me and
Speaker 6: things like that. So later on that month, I found
Speaker 6: out meek Mill he was having a pop up shop
Speaker 6: inside Philly. Me growing up being from Philly, meek Mill
Speaker 6: was somebody that I look up to heavy, somebody that
Speaker 6: came from you know, uh the streets and everything like
Speaker 6: that and made it and being successful. So I felt
Speaker 6: I saw that he was, you know, had a pop
Speaker 6: up shop in Philly, he was gonna be there. Luckily
Speaker 6: I was all from score that day I met him.
Speaker 6: He posted me on his Instagram early before I met him.
Speaker 6: I had my affirmations up. I'm powerful, I'm great, I'm amazing,
Speaker 6: everything like that. But when he shouted me out meek,
Speaker 6: you know, it gave me another, you know, step of credibility.
Speaker 6: Like this kid is like everywhere and like this is crazy.
Speaker 6: So after that, like it just it just kept building
Speaker 6: from there with you know, with the wholesale deal from
Speaker 6: you know, people seeing me on Diddy page, I was
Speaker 6: able to get my first sweatsuits. So out of them sweatsuits,
Speaker 6: then I was able to buy, you know, my first jackets.
Speaker 6: Now we got like a full warehouse full of different products,
Speaker 6: Like we got sweatshos crew necks, uh, different T shirts,
Speaker 6: body suits, swimwear, slides. Now we got like a full warehouse.
Speaker 6: We got a full brand, full collections, and Spurble was

Speaker 6: I'm powerful, I'm happy. Affirmation like that that really kick in,
Speaker 6: you know when negative things are happening. But kids at
Speaker 6: first like oh that's corny, you know, and different things
Speaker 6: like that. I was getting laughed at and picked on,
Speaker 6: you know, in the beginning, because you know, it was
Speaker 6: just something different, Like it's like in my city, is
Speaker 6: not really cool to do something positive or do something different.
Speaker 6: But like what mister Waall said, like when people think
Speaker 6: you crazy, that mean you want something like you like
Speaker 6: you got something great going on. But in the beginning,
Speaker 6: in the beginning, it wasn't cool. But like as like,
Speaker 6: you know, things started coming. I started growing on social
Speaker 6: media a lot of my friends like you. They was
Speaker 6: with it. I gat, you know, new friends who had
Speaker 6: businesses and different things.
Speaker 2: Like yeah, it's always it's always funny until it's not funny.
Speaker 2: But also the thing I like about you also is
Speaker 2: that like you're staying in people's radar and that's important.
Speaker 2: And it's like going back to why. Like I was
Speaker 2: talking to him yesterday and he was asking us. He
Speaker 2: asked me, He was like, yeah, going the All Star
Speaker 2: And I'm like, no, I don't think we're going. He
Speaker 2: was like, now you gotta go. He was like, because
Speaker 2: like you just gotta be everywhere. He was like, you
Speaker 2: gotta be everywhere. And it's crazy because we was in
Speaker 2: Super Bowl and we was with Big Business shot the
Speaker 2: Big Business shout to Alex Gold Energy. We was just
Speaker 2: randomly eating on South Beach and I see you walking.
Speaker 2: I see you guys walk. You got that VOT. So,
Speaker 2: so you know, we sat down, we had a conversation.
Speaker 2: And then today I thought you was out there for
Speaker 2: an event because early I think that they before I
Speaker 2: saw you at Diddy's house with Cal it.
Speaker 3: Was actually coming to OZ coming a head.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, but then after that, so I saw you
Speaker 2: with cal It and Diddy and all that. So I
Speaker 2: thought that it was planned for you to come down
Speaker 2: there to me, Diddy, and you just told me like
Speaker 2: you just went down there just on.
Speaker 4: The whim I went down.
Speaker 6: I went down. So I was in New York Thursday.
Speaker 6: I said, Mom, everybody in everybody in Florida, everybody in Miami,
Speaker 6: let's just fly out there. And you know, we flew
Speaker 6: out there Friday. And I didn't have nothing planned, nothing planned.
Speaker 6: Nobody that I knew was out there. I had a
Speaker 6: hotel and my mom was like, yeah, my mom was like, yo,
Speaker 6: what were going through down there? I said, let's just
Speaker 6: go to South Beach.
Speaker 4: I see who We're going to figure it out, figure
Speaker 4: it out.
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a good place to figure things out.
Speaker 6: So and when I told my mom, I told my
Speaker 6: mom earlier in the year, like I'm not missing no event,
Speaker 6: no more like last year when the BT Awards, the
Speaker 6: Rod Nation Brunch. Yeah, that hit me, Like why am
Speaker 6: I not there? Like that hit me? I said, like the.
Speaker 7: Same thing he was really said though about it, like
Speaker 7: because he was like the brunch, I'm gonna be there
Speaker 7: next year.
Speaker 2: And I was just like, okay, nah, because it's like
Speaker 2: I always like to like a child's mind is different
Speaker 2: from an adult's mind because they don't have this, they
Speaker 2: don't have the same restrictions adults be. Like it's like
Speaker 2: you take one vacation a year and it's like and
Speaker 2: it's like, why you're going? Why not? Why am I
Speaker 2: not going to? That's the real question, That's the real question.
Speaker 6: You lift Once I was so yeah, I was, man,
Speaker 6: I was so mad when I was like, I was
Speaker 6: missing all these spots. I told my mom, I'm not
Speaker 6: missing no All Star Game. I'm not missing no super Bowl,
Speaker 6: no bat no Brammy, nothing like that. I'm gonna be everywhere,
Speaker 6: and I'm gonna stay consistent, and I'm just so focused
Speaker 6: where I'm not like like I'm so focused while I'm
Speaker 6: not playing no more whereas like they gonna just keep
Speaker 6: on seeing me. But you just gotta be everywhere.
Speaker 2: So then you so that you went down there, and
Speaker 2: then you FaceTime Diitty and then the next thing you know,
Speaker 2: you end up in Ditty's house.
Speaker 6: Right, we had come through, right, I FaceTime, I FaceTime
Speaker 6: mister Sean, and I said, if mister Sean, you don't
Speaker 6: you don't got you only got in Miami right now
Speaker 6: without Spargo on what's up? He said, pull up on
Speaker 6: me right now. Uh, he said, pull up on me
Speaker 6: right now. And I had like a I had a
Speaker 6: suitcase for Spargo. I've worded it to him, and I
Speaker 6: had some stuff for the whole family. And we were
Speaker 6: just chopping it up for about an hour. You know,
Speaker 6: we was just chopping it up for an hour. I
Speaker 6: was able to meet Christian and Justin and you know,
Speaker 6: they remember me from the poosts and things like that.
Speaker 6: But it was just, you know, good to chop it up.
Speaker 6: And we got like a big project on the way,
Speaker 6: me and mister Sean and I don't even know we're talking.
Speaker 4: About breaking alert.
Speaker 6: So and then after that, the next day he invited
Speaker 6: me to the Bad Boys super Bowl party. I was
Speaker 6: able to meet, you know, some celebrities, and you know,
Speaker 6: I was it just feels good to be connected and
Speaker 6: different things like that. But you know, we we we're
Speaker 6: still growing from here.
Speaker 3: So yeah, and I wanted to say shout out to mom.
Speaker 3: I know you're educator.
Speaker 5: I know he was in school, but now he's doing homeschool,
Speaker 5: so you're taking that role of now being the teacher
Speaker 5: as well as more right.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 7: So he so it was actually like his first year
Speaker 7: in he was like, bron, can I be homeschool? And
Speaker 7: I'm never even being a teacher. I don't know people
Speaker 7: that's homeschool. And it's just like no, try, you can't
Speaker 7: be homeschool, like you want to be in school. Second, Mama,
Speaker 7: missing so many opportunities and this and that, Like this
Speaker 7: was like a two month plead. Like he was like
Speaker 7: you know and kept asking, and I started to see
Speaker 7: the things that he was missing, like because his mentors
Speaker 7: like they all wanted him with them, like they would
Speaker 7: go to like conferences and things like that, and I'm like, yo,
Speaker 7: this is information that trade really could benefit from. Like
Speaker 7: they were taking him, you know, out to Calie. What
Speaker 7: was the name of it. I can't remember the name
Speaker 7: of the conference, but it was a lot of Yeah.
Speaker 7: So it was like that he went to that he
Speaker 7: missed like two days of school, and then it was
Speaker 7: another conference or something was coming up, and I was
Speaker 7: like that he gonna miss more school, Like I got it,
Speaker 7: you know. Yeah. So then in February of twenty nineteen,
Speaker 7: I finally let him get home school.
Speaker 2: All right, so we're gonna go in the next sep
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about the day to day operations of Spurga.
Speaker 2: But before I got one last question, So cal It,
Speaker 2: your energy seems like it's a match for cal It.
Speaker 2: How was he like when you met him?
Speaker 6: So, oh, DJ got it. Yeah, So like when I
Speaker 6: met him, he was like real chill because he was
Speaker 6: in the business move But when I see him next time,
Speaker 6: we're gonna be right.
Speaker 2: Next next time, next time to turn up as the
Speaker 2: next second we're going we're gonna go into next all right,
Speaker 2: So now we're gonna go into the next segment, so
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about systems and day to day operations.
Speaker 2: But before that, so the homeschooling process, because I'm sure
Speaker 2: there's a lot of parents that listen to earn leisure
Speaker 2: and they might, you know, have thought about homeschool. You're
Speaker 2: a teacher by trade, so it's probably easier for you
Speaker 2: to teach.
Speaker 7: Well. Actually, he is like sign school, so I don't
Speaker 7: have to come up with the curriculum. Homeschool and cyber
Speaker 7: school is a little bit different, whereas homeschool, the parent
Speaker 7: does have to come up with the curriculum and the
Speaker 7: activities and things like that. So he does cyber school.
Speaker 7: He'd probably just say cyber school where the curriculum is
Speaker 7: already there. He has teachers, he has counselors. They did
Speaker 7: some like once every quarter they had like a little
Speaker 7: get together where you can meet the teachers and.
Speaker 4: Talk about with the name of the school.
Speaker 7: Uh, he goes to twenty first century.
Speaker 2: That's like something I did. Actually, So when I went
Speaker 2: to I used to play basketball. So when I went
Speaker 2: to prep school in Florida, and so my last two
Speaker 2: years of high school I was at it was so
Speaker 2: Texas saying I was in school in Florida, but Texas
Speaker 2: A and M had like a satellite program where so
Speaker 2: I traveled a lot because it was like a really
Speaker 2: good prep school. So like I would do like coursework,
Speaker 2: like it's like online learning, right, basically equivalent of online learning.
Speaker 2: I would go to the physical location when I was
Speaker 2: in town, but if not, like they'd just send me packets,
Speaker 2: do the coursework, send the packets back. It gets graded
Speaker 2: like a whole system in place. And I was because
Speaker 2: I wasn't really in school a lot, right.
Speaker 4: So that sounds like the equivalent of.
Speaker 7: Like, yeah, it's very similar.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a new age way of learning anything about
Speaker 2: it is that like a lot of the old traditional
Speaker 2: ways is it's kind of outdated, Like you go to
Speaker 2: a school.
Speaker 4: From seven o'clock in the morning to three thirty.
Speaker 7: That was his complaint doing that. He was like, yeah,
Speaker 7: he that was his complaint. He was like, Mama, spent
Speaker 7: an hour of traveling in school. I spent an hour
Speaker 7: coming back. You know. He had this whole thing laid out,
Speaker 7: like he was like, we kids don't listen, you know,
Speaker 7: like teacher spending time with telling the kids to sit down.
Speaker 7: And I'm a teacher, so I kind of know how
Speaker 7: much time is like wasting, Yeah, wasted on just getting
Speaker 7: the masses the right thing. So I mean it just
Speaker 7: started like he just kind of like broke kept breaking
Speaker 7: breaking it down, you know. But for me it was
Speaker 7: difficult at first because I was like I didn't really
Speaker 7: know anybody else that did it before. I didn't want
Speaker 7: him to miss out on social things. I'm like, you
Speaker 7: know what trade when it's time to go to high school,
Speaker 7: you're gonna go on your prime or like you know,
Speaker 7: so I was kind of a little bit concerned about.
Speaker 5: Saying I think he's doing I'm with CALLI mom. The
Speaker 5: social pot we got.
Speaker 2: So that's what that's dope because like I said, I mean,
Speaker 2: there's no one shoe fits off feet exactly, and there's
Speaker 2: no one way to learn, right, So it's like there's
Speaker 2: nothing that beats real life experience.
Speaker 6: So it depends, like it really depends because like my
Speaker 6: little like my little brother like and my little sister, like,
Speaker 6: they really wouldn't like homeschool because they like, you know,
Speaker 6: learning with friends and different things like that. My little
Speaker 6: sister is like a social person, so homeschool for her,
Speaker 6: you know, wouldn't fit really right.
Speaker 7: She loves getting on the school, but she loves like
Speaker 7: so like you said, one when you don't fit all.
Speaker 4: Fee that's the fact. So all right, So so your homeschool.
Speaker 2: So how does the day that they operations work as
Speaker 2: far as the business, because so obviously you have inventory,
Speaker 2: you got ship inventory, you got social media marketing. Can
Speaker 2: you like walk me through it like an average day
Speaker 2: like of you running the business with me or with
Speaker 2: both both of you guys, Like just like what's your
Speaker 2: average day of like the business operation?
Speaker 6: So with me, average day, I wake up six six thirty,
Speaker 6: a week up a week up six thirty. So this
Speaker 6: is a day for me, So six thirty, take my
Speaker 6: little brother and older sisters to the school bus. After that,
Speaker 6: I knock out some After that, I knock out some schoolwork,
Speaker 6: hit the gym. Hit the gym at like eight, Uh,
Speaker 6: I get back, I get back, and then just you know,
Speaker 6: I checked social media, see what's popping. But uh, you know,
Speaker 6: later later on then I'm I might just be traveling,
Speaker 6: like and why if I'm not traveling, then probably just
Speaker 6: shipping out some things, checking out like what's going on,
Speaker 6: getting on some like you know, business calls. Uh yeah,
Speaker 6: getting on some business calls is like usually all day
Speaker 6: shipping out products, shipments coming into the you know, warehouse.
Speaker 6: That happens a lot, like boxes, boxes, and then just
Speaker 6: also just planning, you know for people that don't know,
Speaker 6: like it's four quarters, it's four quarters, Q one, Q two,
Speaker 6: Q three and the best Q four. So just like
Speaker 6: planning for the quarter, and you know that that's what
Speaker 6: like I'm always doing, just planning for like what's next,
Speaker 6: you don't like I don't really want to be like
Speaker 6: late on a way for you know, just figuring out
Speaker 6: what's new to fashion. Sometimes I might I might just
Speaker 6: go to like NIM and mark is and just check
Speaker 6: out like some new products that they got in or
Speaker 6: you know.

Speaker 7: Trey has been on over thirty media outlets.
Speaker 4: Last year, you do PR yourself? Yeah, how do you?
Speaker 4: What's so, what's your formula for PR?
Speaker 7: Just so PR, Like sometimes I'll send out press releases,
Speaker 7: but right now it's always it's been like a heavy
Speaker 7: demand for him. So like we haven't even yeah, we
Speaker 7: haven't even really got into.
Speaker 6: The part of we're like trying to reach out, right.
Speaker 7: So I believe, you know, I feel like this year
Speaker 7: is going to be a year where we would really
Speaker 7: step it up, where he gets into those like mainstream things,
Speaker 7: you know.
Speaker 5: So uh yeah, so you you actually were teaching in school.
Speaker 3: We have that account. We had a talk about the
Speaker 3: power of education.
Speaker 5: And classroom management. At a certain point you said, I
Speaker 5: can't teach anymore.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was getting difficult because I was working in
Speaker 7: the you know, the inner city is already rough, you know,
Speaker 7: so working in inner city, working full time, it was
Speaker 7: coming home already exhausted. But I would still have to,
Speaker 7: you know, put in like six hours with Tray because
Speaker 7: he is fourteen, and he is a beast. Like he's
Speaker 7: a beast, but it's some things that he just can't handle, like,
Speaker 7: you know, bank stuff, just different things that you know,
Speaker 7: an adult has to take care of So I would
Speaker 7: spend you know, six hours with him, and then I'm
Speaker 7: like running. Then I got to be your mom to
Speaker 7: my other kids. You know, my family, got to take
Speaker 7: care of my family. So I'm like running off of
Speaker 7: like four or five hours of sleep. So after a while,
Speaker 7: like it's just it was just starting to get like
Speaker 7: really really rough. And you know, Trey always said, my
Speaker 7: came on, like you don't gotta do that, you don't
Speaker 7: gotta work, And you know, a part of it was
Speaker 7: my own fear, you know, like we stepping in waters.
Speaker 7: Our family have never you know, we're doing that, you know, yeah,
Speaker 7: we're doing different. We're like when we started. People his
Speaker 7: friends was laughing at him, but even adults looking at me,
Speaker 7: like what is you doing? You know, like so I
Speaker 7: mean leaving my job. My parents even were just looking
Speaker 7: at me like you sure, you know, like they as
Speaker 7: much as they believed in the brand, like it's just
Speaker 7: that security, that guarantee income and things like that, but
Speaker 7: just believing in trade, believing in the brand, believing in
Speaker 7: you know, you know, my own higher power and you know,
Speaker 7: just that kind of stuff. I was like, I can't,
Speaker 7: it's not even healthy at this point to keep living
Speaker 7: like this and things are going really great. It's almost
Speaker 7: like you, if you believe you got we gotta do
Speaker 7: something in order for him to go to the next level,
Speaker 7: for this to go to the next level, for us
Speaker 7: to really break these generational curses. We got to step
Speaker 7: out my last thing.
Speaker 2: So you talked about putting systems in place. Can you
Speaker 2: talk about that?
Speaker 6: So playing systems in place? You want to talk about them?
Speaker 7: Yeah, that was so. Our first year trade is very
Speaker 7: like spontaneous, like all right, man, we're going here. You know,
Speaker 7: we're not we're not doing this mom or we you know.
Speaker 7: So after about a year and a half like that,
Speaker 7: that's starting to get draining because it's like we're going here,
Speaker 7: we're making moves here, but this part is slipping because
Speaker 7: maybe we forgot to do one thing or we forgot
Speaker 7: to do another thing. So it's kind of like a
Speaker 7: bunch of like time, we're wasting time sometime, or we're
Speaker 7: losing resources in another area. So systems are really important,
Speaker 7: like those day to day like we ship on these days,
Speaker 7: you know, we had to put those kind of things
Speaker 7: in place. Uh, this is how we answer this question.
Speaker 7: Putting those frequently asked questions on the website, just a
Speaker 7: bunch of infrastructure and you know, setting setting the bar
Speaker 7: for ourselves. We had to do it because otherwise we
Speaker 7: would have went.
Speaker 6: Created stuff like hours of operation, like I can't be
Speaker 6: answering the phone nine o'clock at night and things like that.
Speaker 6: It's just like not healthy shipping out on you know,
Speaker 6: certain days, and just having a system for you know, shipping,
Speaker 6: not writing labels, being able to being able to being
Speaker 6: able to print them and different things like that, and
Speaker 6: just you know, putting systems in place, you know, so
Speaker 6: I could use time to do something else. So now
Speaker 6: I got shipping handled. Now I'm able to work on marketing.
Speaker 6: I got marketing handled. Now I'm able to you know,
Speaker 6: being able to speak on earn your leision like that.
Speaker 4: I like this kid in fact.
Speaker 2: So but not only are you doing that, you're building
Speaker 2: your own personal brand and you got I guess endorsement
Speaker 2: deals right, Like can you talk about like investco. So
Speaker 2: people don't know what investco is, probably, but I know
Speaker 2: what investco is. I'm in the financial industry. Investco huge
Speaker 2: financial company, multi billion dollar company, investments, mutual funds, stuff,
Speaker 2: retirement accounts. So when I heard that you had a
Speaker 2: partnership with Invesco. That's pretty interesting. Can you talk about that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, So Invesco reached out to me in early state
Speaker 6: in one of my early stages in business prior.
Speaker 7: Like was January of twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3: A year in.
Speaker 6: Yeah, so like a year in, they reached out to
Speaker 6: me and they said, could you shoot us? Could you
Speaker 6: shoot us an email email back? Like hey, you know,
Speaker 6: they were just saying, like, we're interested in working with you,
Speaker 6: could you shoot us an email back? And you know,
Speaker 6: I called them immediately. I said, forget the email. I'm
Speaker 6: calling y'all now. So I called them and we came
Speaker 6: and they came to the house and we did, you know,
Speaker 6: my first ever like commercial on TV. And this is
Speaker 6: like a global commercial seeing in worldwide people in all
Speaker 6: different countries are seeing it. And I was able to
Speaker 6: do the first commercial with them and their tag on
Speaker 6: is really investing in greater possibilities and different things like that.
Speaker 6: And so me working with Investco, they just shown like
Speaker 6: my my growth with Spurgo. You could see from like
Speaker 6: the beginning, like my beginning stages from my first commercial
Speaker 6: to the second commercial. And then we got some more
Speaker 6: commercials on the way and like you're just seeing a
Speaker 6: growth like with me and also me just being like
Speaker 6: a spoke spoke person you know for Investo and Investco
Speaker 6: just you know, giving me a lot of opportunities and
Speaker 6: you know, just you know, just really believing in me
Speaker 6: and being able to capture the growth. And you also
Speaker 6: do speaking public, speaking with the top with the.
Speaker 3: Top person, the number one guy.
Speaker 4: How did that come?
Speaker 7: So?
Speaker 6: I met mister A twenty eighteen. I met, you know,
Speaker 6: mister E twenty eighteen September. He came to my mentor restaurant,
Speaker 6: Jordan Johnson Seafood. He came through. I came up to
Speaker 6: him like, hey, mister mister A, I look up to
Speaker 6: you a lot. My name is Trey Brown, a twelve
Speaker 6: year old entrepreneur at the time CEO of my own
Speaker 6: clothing brand called Spurgo. I got some T shirts. Would
Speaker 6: you like to support?
Speaker 3: Just like that?
Speaker 6: And I said, would you like to support? He said?
Speaker 6: He said yeah. He said yeah, I'm gonna get a
Speaker 6: shirt from me. I said, you need a shirt from
Speaker 6: his d D he got, you know, he got some
Speaker 6: Spurgo jerk. We took a video and then the next
Speaker 6: year that I met him, like he was like he
Speaker 6: was like so happy to see me because he seen
Speaker 6: my commercial on CNN, and like we just stayed in connection,
Speaker 6: you know, ever since then, because I watched mister every
Speaker 6: day on YouTube and different things like that, and you know,
Speaker 6: me and mister E, we would text each other and
Speaker 6: stuff like that. So I would come to every conference,
Speaker 6: every one percent club and everything like that, so I
Speaker 6: would mister E would just keep seeing me. Uh yeah,
Speaker 6: I was paying to go. And then my mom she
Speaker 6: would volunteer and things like that, so that that's what
Speaker 6: it was. And then mister he just kept seeing me,
Speaker 6: seeing me on Instagram and then he let me come speak.
Speaker 6: My first you know, speaking engagement with mister E was
Speaker 6: last month in Atlanta and the crowd went like crazy,
Speaker 6: that's crazy. So that was like that was that was
Speaker 6: real cool. And now I'm on tour with him. You
Speaker 6: ain't the bosson me tours, so that's amazing.
Speaker 5: So when you started right when the kids didn't take
Speaker 5: you seriously, that's one thing.
Speaker 3: What was it like when you.
Speaker 5: Were speaking in front of adults now and you're giving
Speaker 5: them inspiration?
Speaker 3: What was that like for you?
Speaker 6: Uh, Like, I don't know. I was just like being myself,
Speaker 6: Like it was just like I didn't I didn't really
Speaker 6: even notice, Like I think the.
Speaker 7: Hardest part was the kids part that that was the
Speaker 7: hardest battle for him. I had to you know, I
Speaker 7: was really encouraging him, like trading, now you're doing something amazing.
Speaker 7: I think adults always kind of connected with Trade because
Speaker 7: he's always been really mature and a lot of them
Speaker 7: were really excited and Trade is just like excited to be,
Speaker 7: you know, to talk with adults and stuff.
Speaker 2: But the reason why actually if you paid for the conferences.
Speaker 2: Because so it's another guest that we had on the podcast,
Speaker 2: alumni Alex Good Energy. I don't know if you know him,
Speaker 2: but he does trucking and he's connected with ET. He's
Speaker 2: in the circle. And he was telling us that how
Speaker 2: he got connected with ET is that he was paying
Speaker 2: to go to his conferences for a long time and
Speaker 2: he had like a cruise and he paid like ten
Speaker 2: thousand dollars to go to the cruise and randomly he
Speaker 2: didn't pay to meet him. He was just paying because
Speaker 2: he got value out of it. And he randomly ended
Speaker 2: up with his business partner CJ.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and.
Speaker 2: He was like and he was talking and then the
Speaker 2: next thing he linked them with ET and the rest
Speaker 2: is history. Now that business partners, I say that to say, A,
Speaker 2: you have to be in the mix what we talked
Speaker 2: about earlier, and B is like, since you got to
Speaker 2: spend money, Like a lot of times people try to
Speaker 2: be cheap skates and they don't want to spend money.
Speaker 2: But it's like, you spend money to put yourself in positions.
Speaker 2: It might work out, it might not, but you don't
Speaker 2: know until you're actually in that position. So that's true
Speaker 2: guests that we've had that's connected with ET, that started
Speaker 2: with actually going to his conference as customers and not
Speaker 2: really having any expectation, and then it just kind of
Speaker 2: worked out organically, so you never know.
Speaker 6: Now, me and mister EO, like we chop it up
Speaker 6: every We chop it up right every other day. I'm
Speaker 6: at the gym, he He'll text me, he he at
Speaker 6: the gym really in the morning. You know, we're just
Speaker 6: chopping it up updating each other. I still go to
Speaker 6: the conferences to this day. You know, it's just all
Speaker 6: about staying connected relationships, keeping relationships like relationships you know,
Speaker 6: are like way more important. The value is bigger than
Speaker 6: money and That's why I like the key relationships.
Speaker 5: Can we talk about the online store because that changes
Speaker 5: it for you, right, it went from being a local
Speaker 5: brand to a global brand, Like you're shipping out to Germany,
Speaker 5: you're shipping out to Africa.
Speaker 3: Who's in charge of that? That that part of the business, right, Yes?
Speaker 7: I mean, well, since it's a website that you can
Speaker 7: connect with anybody around the world and people are just shopping.
Speaker 5: So so I mean from the marketing standpoint, like how
Speaker 5: is it Instagram that is putting you out in these
Speaker 5: places or is there something.
Speaker 7: That like So when we do our analytics and we look,
Speaker 7: one of the top places is like an organic Google search.
Speaker 7: And then also also I feel like a lot of
Speaker 7: it comes from the commercial or they seeing the spot
Speaker 7: it may be on like a celebrity or you know,
Speaker 7: things like that. And another top spot is and through
Speaker 7: social media through Instagram.
Speaker 6: And I got so many short documentaries.
Speaker 4: Who did it? Short documentaries?
Speaker 6: I got one with a O L Improvising, I got
Speaker 6: one with Whistle Sports. I have a lot of Fox Business,
Speaker 6: even the ceing that commercial is on YouTube. Uh yeah,
Speaker 6: I got so much like media out so it's like
Speaker 6: you might just catch.
Speaker 4: Me might even catch you in Tom Square on billboard?
Speaker 4: How that? How did that come about?
Speaker 6: So somebody has seen the commercial, big shout to mister Tracy.
Speaker 6: He called me, he said, like, I want to give
Speaker 6: you with a billboard and Tom Square. I picked up
Speaker 6: the phone. I said, we're gonna be there Monday. We
Speaker 6: got there that Monday. We got there that Monday. We
Speaker 6: like to design the billboard and everything like that. I
Speaker 6: said a date, and I had got like a charter
Speaker 6: bus and my family had came out and they saw
Speaker 6: the billboard and it was like really like a just
Speaker 6: like you know, a moment of a lifetime to see
Speaker 6: me up there. You know, they say half a million,
Speaker 6: they said, they say half a million people like walk
Speaker 6: past like that billboard every day on walk past Time Square.
Speaker 6: You know, so just like half a million people, you know,
Speaker 6: just looking at me, looking at you know, the billboard.
Speaker 6: It was dope and like my first billboard to be
Speaker 6: a billboard in the Times Square, Like that's amazing.
Speaker 3: That's a great start, man. Two years, two years.
Speaker 2: A lot could change in twenty four months. So all right,
Speaker 2: so in the last second, we're gonna talk about the
Speaker 2: vision going forward with Spargo and the personal brand and
Speaker 2: everything else that you got going on. All right, so
Speaker 2: what's next? What's what's the vision to scale the brand?
Speaker 2: And like what what's the what's the next in line

Speaker 7: It's like it's nonprofit where he has a lot of
Speaker 7: things on his heart that he wants to kind of
Speaker 7: you know, take give back and take under his wing.

Speaker 6: take that over, Like I want I want to go
Speaker 6: to like the Spargo Store.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: So I wanted to be a flagship store, you know,
Speaker 6: Philadelphia might even just be like the only store the world,

Speaker 3: is how we put it into right.
Speaker 4: So how do you determine the price points?
Speaker 7: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: Ah.
Speaker 7: So a lot of times, so like when we first
Speaker 7: when he first started, like so, my undergrade is in
Speaker 7: accounting and I was in accounting for six years before
Speaker 7: I was a teacher. When we when he said he
Speaker 7: wanted to start a clothing line, he we had like
Speaker 7: a little business meeting where we talked about profits and
Speaker 7: laws and things like that. So he kind of like
Speaker 7: just calculate like what it costs, like everything from the
Speaker 7: manufacturing to shipping, to packaging to processing and things like that,
Speaker 7: and then we kind of like multiply words though he
Speaker 7: can get a profit off of it.
Speaker 2: Dope, dope. Yeah, it's always good to have an in
Speaker 2: house accounting.
Speaker 5: I'm like, wait, mom is a teacher and an accountant
Speaker 5: and an entrepreneur and she got two kids that she
Speaker 5: got to watch, and.
Speaker 4: So do you want it?
Speaker 2: So as far as the business Spargo that's up and running,
Speaker 2: do you have a do you have goals to start
Speaker 2: other businesses like separate from Spargo?
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 6: So I got like a lot of different businesses in mine.
Speaker 6: I got a book coming out, and then also just
Speaker 6: like different businesses, like I want to have a security company,
Speaker 6: cleaning company, watch security security, you know, because I like
Speaker 6: it's important everybody needs security.
Speaker 4: Everybody in your circle, everybody.
Speaker 6: And then also, uh, it's like a good business. It's
Speaker 6: good for business as well, like you could easily get
Speaker 6: contracted cleaning.
Speaker 2: All your celebrity friends. Though you can just handle it, Diddy,
Speaker 2: I got you, don't worry about it.
Speaker 5: But so I know you had a lot of mentors
Speaker 5: right coming up in this game in your in your
Speaker 5: mind in the next few years, you feel like you're
Speaker 5: going to be going back doing some mentorship in your community.
Speaker 6: Yes, So that's what That's what I'm working on right now,
Speaker 6: is just being able to because I know that I
Speaker 6: can't like talk to everybody personally, but I want to
Speaker 6: build like I want to build like a network, you know,
Speaker 6: for kids to you know, come and express like their
Speaker 6: dreams and how they could turn it into like a
Speaker 6: business or how they could you know, turn it into
Speaker 6: you know, some something where.
Speaker 7: Yeah, we're still trying to flush it out because Trey
Speaker 7: gets dms all the time on like what to do next?
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, so like what.
Speaker 7: Like how like can you take a look at this
Speaker 7: or can you you know, so he wants to have
Speaker 7: like a program where you know, kids can come and
Speaker 7: like he can spend that time with them and work
Speaker 7: work through it because the dms are really like.
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's a lie so mom, and like
Speaker 2: because there's a lot of sports parents, right, and like
Speaker 2: if you if you have a child to play sports,
Speaker 2: you know, it's a demand, like you got taken the
Speaker 2: AAU and you got practice and all of that. But
Speaker 2: it's like to be a business mom and like support
Speaker 2: your child entrepreneurial dreams. Like what advice can you give
Speaker 2: to parents to like encourage them, Like if their kid
Speaker 2: has an idea to start a business, Like you have
Speaker 2: any tips for parents for that?
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would say, like to trust your kids. You know,
Speaker 7: sometimes we feel like we have all the information and
Speaker 7: we have like all the answers, but kids know a lot,
Speaker 7: you know, they come from a place that we don't
Speaker 7: come from. Like me and Trey is like a great
Speaker 7: team because he's actually taught me so much. Because I
Speaker 7: think as an adult, we kind of experience some things
Speaker 7: where we're like afraid, or we face rejection or you know,
Speaker 7: like we we think too much, whereas though Trade is
Speaker 7: like fearless with a lot of things. And you know,
Speaker 7: I remember when he's when he talked about me and
Speaker 7: Meek or whatever, and I was just like, you're not
Speaker 7: We're not going to ge it up to the line.
Speaker 7: Because you know, the line was actually wrapped around the corner.
Speaker 7: I'm like, we're not gonna get there, and you know,
Speaker 7: Trey just walked his way up to the front and
Speaker 7: they were like, yeah, hey, spurgo come here, and you know,
Speaker 7: just having that fearless and you know, just like you know,
Speaker 7: I want this and I'm gonna go after it. So
Speaker 7: just trusting your kid, I think that's really important. Kids
Speaker 7: are smart, you know, they know what they like, they
Speaker 7: know what they want, and you know, I think sometimes
Speaker 7: as adults we think we know what's best for them,
Speaker 7: but we need to give them credit and let them
Speaker 7: even affirm them and knowing that they know what's best
Speaker 7: for them.
Speaker 5: It's beautiful to watch because like even when we were
Speaker 5: at lunch and he was trying to always like yeah,
Speaker 5: we're gonna eat that, and it was that look like
Speaker 5: if that's okay with you, mom, there's still that balance there, like, yo,
Speaker 5: this is but this is my part of right right.
Speaker 7: So I feel like, just let them dream, you know,
Speaker 7: let them let them and I feel like give them
Speaker 7: the tools. I know, I feel like I didn't figure
Speaker 7: life out until I was like thirty ish thirty two,
Speaker 7: you know, so I spent a lot of years making
Speaker 7: mist so like I feel like if I can give
Speaker 7: my kids an opportunity to experience, experiment with different things,
Speaker 7: you know, to try different things. You know, Trey started
Speaker 7: off with music. It was expensive being a teacher. We
Speaker 7: don't make much, so like going to the studio and
Speaker 7: stuff like yeah, I'm trade, Like Mommy, I need to
Speaker 7: be in a studio, And I'm like, all right. We
Speaker 7: went a couple of times. After about the fourth times
Speaker 7: been at hundreds of dollars, I'm like, trade, we might
Speaker 7: need to wait a month or two, you know. But
Speaker 7: like my daughter, she wanted to do like cooking and dance,
Speaker 7: and you know, like I don't look at it as
Speaker 7: like a waste of money to allow them to try
Speaker 7: different things. You know, if I see, you know, a
Speaker 7: gift in them, and I think they should push further.
Speaker 7: Like we're not gonna skip and just go to something different,
Speaker 7: but I'm allowed you to be interested in something, in
Speaker 7: it and invest in it. You know, we're gonna work
Speaker 7: it out. You're not gonna quit for any reason. But
Speaker 7: if it's something there, I feel like maybe you're not
Speaker 7: gifted in or you don't like, you know, we can't
Speaker 7: try something else, you know.
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think that that's a that's apparent's job
Speaker 2: to nurture your child's dreams and it just doesn't have
Speaker 2: to be sports and entertainment. That's what we're used to
Speaker 2: in our communities. It's nothing wrong with that, but it's
Speaker 2: like their dreams might be to be a journalist or
Speaker 2: to be exactly a doctor or an entrepreneur, and you
Speaker 2: gotta give that same nurture that if you're taking your
Speaker 2: kid to the basketball court at six o'clock in the
Speaker 2: morning and do drills with them, you gotta do the
Speaker 2: same thing.
Speaker 4: Entrepreneur.
Speaker 3: We gotta go to the barbershop every Saturday, like we
Speaker 3: just got to do it.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was definitely a sacrifice because like those saturdays
Speaker 7: were my only day off, So it's definitely a sacrifice.
Speaker 7: But I saw how he was learning like good character
Speaker 7: skill like traits that you know I would talk about,
Speaker 7: but it's when he was learning in motion. It was
Speaker 7: just like stuff that was sticking. I saw him that,
Speaker 7: I saw him get like hungry, like I saw these
Speaker 7: great things coming about, and it was just like wow,
Speaker 7: you know, for me, when it started, it was like, oh,
Speaker 7: this is cute. You know, this is an opportunity for
Speaker 7: me to spend time with my kids and you know,
Speaker 7: do something fun with them. But after I saw after
Speaker 7: about a month, and I saw that this was something
Speaker 7: that like it grew in him, like he even wanted
Speaker 7: to do it, but I saw it grow to be
Speaker 7: like dream, like his dream got bigger and bigger every week.
Speaker 8: So keeping but before we wrap up, can you give
Speaker 8: any words to young entrepreneurs Trey that any kids?
Speaker 2: Like, what's your advice for young entrepreneurs kids that may
Speaker 2: be interested in business?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 6: Here are like some tips from me. It was like,
Speaker 6: find your passion. Find like what comes easy to you
Speaker 6: and hard to others. Find your passion, you know, and
Speaker 6: run with it too. It's like your network is your networth,
Speaker 6: Like the people that you anger around, you know, determines
Speaker 6: like really who you who? Who you're going to be?
Speaker 6: Like if I hang around five millionaires every day, you
Speaker 6: know I'm done to be. Like the sixth one third
Speaker 6: one is just when you get started doing what you're doing,
Speaker 6: stay consistent at it. Now the like staying consistent and
Speaker 6: wise man said, if you persistent, you would get it,
Speaker 6: but if you consistent, you would keep it.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 6: That's that's like that goes back to like the brand,
Speaker 6: you know, consistency, like when I always had to yeah recognition. Yeah,
