Speaker 5: Sure, So all right, so let's get into it. So

170
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 5: all right, so last time that we met, right, a

171
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 5: lot has happened.

172
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 3: From that time. So let's talk about this since we

173
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 3: are looking at the shoes.

174
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 5: So you talked about nineteen sixty one being a year

175
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 5: that the PGA lifted its all white band, right, and

176

177
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 3: Collaboration with Jordan Brand.

178
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 5: Right, How has that Jordan Brand partnership been for you

179
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 5: guys over the last two three years? And what is

180
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 5: the significance of the newest line outside of you know,

181
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 5: the nineteen sixty one But as far as like business

182
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 5: is concerned.

183
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 8: Yeah, partnership has been great. You know with Jordan Brand,

184
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 8: you know, we we definitely want to keep going, definitely

185
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 8: want to come up with some more shoes moving forward.

186
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 8: But it's been it's been great because they believed in

187
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 8: us enough to give us a chance to tell the history.

188
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 3: You know, not a lot of people get.

189
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 8: To tell actual facts and tell where we've been as

190
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 8: a people and then tell where we are trying to

191
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 8: go as a people. So I mean them actually doing

192
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 8: that and taking the time out and sitting I mean

193
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 8: we sat in that design room.

194
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 3: You know.

195
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 8: They said, well, what's the purpose of what you guys

196
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 8: are trying to do? And I told them, well, we

197
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 8: told them change the game. At the end of the day,

198
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 8: it's something. It's it's finally here where golf can be

199
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 8: taken advantage of and we can give the game to

200
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 8: you guys, you know what I'm saying, And you guys

201
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 8: can take advantage of it.

202
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 3: You know, definitely spread.

203
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 8: Your networks, you know, build your build your friendships and

204
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 8: relationships up on the golf course and spent five hours

205
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 8: with somebody.

206
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: But that's I mean, it's really powerful for diverse people

207
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 3: to use the game of golf.

208
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,599
Speaker 8: So joint brand giving us this platform or actually just

209
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 8: collaboration to tell the story, it gives everybody else the

210
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 8: power to do so.

211
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 3: Much more so now it's been it's been great so far,

212
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 3: it's been great.

213
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 6: Over the past two years. The popularity of the brand

214
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 6: has expedited.

215
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 4: Like I said, I see you guys everywhere, but more importantly,

216
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 4: I see the brand everywhere, right and sometimes you watch

217
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 4: on social media and it doesn't have to do anything

218
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: with golf, but the brand is growing. Talk about what

219
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,679
Speaker 4: that's done for you personally from a day to day

220
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 4: about the busyness and now more the responsibilities and some

221
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 4: of the lessons that you're learning as the brand grows.

222
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 9: Nah, I think for me, it's definitely been a transition, right,

223
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 9: Like you start to I'm sure y'all get it now

224
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 9: where too, It's like you go into Dwayne Reid and

225
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 9: come outside somebody's like, yo, east Side Golf and you know.

226
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 3: Oh man, it's a huge generation. Go get it, smoothie.

227
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 9: And so I mean within that that's been something different.

228
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 9: I think, you know, there's obviously a lot of sacrifices,

229
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 9: and I hear you both mention that as far. It's like,

230
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 9: you know, family functions and things that you want to

231
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 9: be a part of, but you know, it's a window,

232
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 9: it's an opportunity that we know, just working really hard

233
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 9: and then prioritizing because as you you know clearly articulated,

234
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 9: we're you know, we're everywhere right until we still have

235
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,599
Speaker 9: a business to run, right And so you know a

236
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 9: lot of folks that we came in with are on

237
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 9: our team, and it's like they're looking for guidance or

238
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 9: they need answers or approve or.

239
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: All of those things.

240
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 9: So it's like, while we're up here blowing the brand

241
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 9: up and making sure we're in all the right rooms,

242
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 9: at the same time, there's still a business and day

243
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 9: to day operations that need to be ran.

244
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 3: So it's all about time management, picking your spots.

245
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 6: You know.

246
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 9: I think we've done a really good job. But I

247
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 9: would also say we do have an amazing team, you

248
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 9: know as well.

249
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 5: So all right, so can you talk about share some

250
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 5: insight about some of the investors behind east Side Golf

251
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 5: and how have.

252
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: They contributed to the brand's growth.

253
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 9: No, I think we have a very strong cap table,

254
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 9: you know, and they have been very helpful, you know,

255
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 9: in the growth of the brand, whether it be you know,

256
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 9: guidance and things of that nature. But you know, folks

257
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 9: like you know, Michael Strahan is an investor. He's been

258
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 9: very helpful and just you know in connections, you also

259
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 9: have you know, folks like CC Sabbathia who it was

260
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 9: just very organic, you know, so when it came time

261
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 9: to raise funds, it was like, all right, well, let's

262
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 9: go reach out to somebody that believes in the brand,

263
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 9: been rocking with the brand for a while.

264
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 3: And so you know, there's quite a few other folks.

265
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 9: We have, some more I would say, like institutional folks

266
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 9: like Alan Swlensky. He's a minority owner of the La Dodgers.

267
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 9: And Alan is like someone that's very active and like

268
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,719
Speaker 9: always in our ear and challenging the way that we're

269
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 9: thinking and saying all right, okay, where are we at?

270
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 9: Are we close to the profitability? You know how ourselves

271
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 9: doing those sorts of things. And then lastly, but not least,

272
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 9: I would say, you know, Steve Stout has been probably

273
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 9: one of our most active investors.

274
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 3: You know, we got monthly calls with Steve.

275
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 9: We can call him bout anything, but he's really been

276
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 9: hands on and even like helping like personnel like okay cool,

277
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 9: and you know, working with translations and you know, brand

278
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 9: guidelines and just him understanding and seeing things blow up

279
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 9: and just kind of as we you know, navigating those waters.

280
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 4: You said a key word there when it was time

281
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 4: to raise funds. Yeah, and so I'm sure there's entrepreneurs

282
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 4: who have businesses. When did y'all realize it was time

283
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 4: for us to take in capital, not because you necessarily

284
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 4: needed it, but because you wanted to expand.

285
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 3: I mean, it's usual, it was.

286
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 8: It was when we saw that we could come out

287
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 8: with different going a different lane as far as collapse,

288
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 8: like we have an NBA licensing deal, MLB licensing deal,

289
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 8: and then coming out with the women's line in spring,

290
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 8: you know, and.

291
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 3: Even pushing towards accessories, like.

292
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 8: Really getting that all the way dialed in, because not

293
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 8: only do we have that, we have PGA PGA Tour

294
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 8: partnership as well. So when we go into these actual

295
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 8: merch tents at these PGA tournaments, we be able to

296
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 8: afford it.

297
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 3: We be able to afford the staff, We be able

298
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 3: to grow our.

299
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 8: Team and actually get all the things that we need,

300
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 8: so we're not like shorthanded when a time when the

301
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 8: time comes, I mean, because yeah, run it through money.

302
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: It can go fast. Yeah, it can go fast. I

303
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 3: would add to it's like you know, in the peril business,

304
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: you don't get paid.

305
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 9: It's like really delayed. Right, So you're make an investment. Now,

306
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 9: you got to make an investment in the people.

307
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 3: Right.

308
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 9: So if you want to design something, you got to

309
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 9: hold production folks. Then it's a period of them actually

310
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 9: producing the garment and then you have to market the

311
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 9: garment and then it goes to market.

312
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 3: Right.

313
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 9: So you need that capital to be working for you

314
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 9: because you're you're putting out a whole lot of money

315
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 9: before you see anything back. Now, granted, once you have

316
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 9: a product, right, you can kind of run it back

317
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 9: and it's a little bit more quick turn, but it's

318
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 9: still one of those things where you got to pay

319
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 9: for the product off and upfront and you're not necessarily

320
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 9: guaranteed that money coming back. So but like O said,

321
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 9: you know, raising capital, it kind of gives you an

322
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 9: opportunity to make the investment in the personnel, right, Like

323
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 9: you may have to go, I need to go hire

324
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 9: a really good production person, which we went out and

325
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 9: got right because we saw that that was a gap,

326
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 9: Like all right, he's got these amazing ideas, but it's

327
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 9: not it's not making its way to the closet, right,

328
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 9: and he's frustrated. So it's like, all right, let's work

329
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 9: through this and some people you know, again it wasn't

330
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 9: working out, so still keep trying. And now we have

331
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 9: someone like the product is something that we're excited about

332
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 9: and can stand by just the quality of it. And

333
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 9: so that was an investment that we had to make

334
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 9: on the front end, and we made that investment of

335
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 9: what like April, and we're now just now that product

336
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 9: is just now delivering and hitting shells.

337
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: How much? How much? So when did you raise?

338
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 9: So we raised, well, we just closed, we just closed

339
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 9: those around it's your first round. No, so we've done

340
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 9: safe in rounds, two safe rounds. What's a safe safe note?

341
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 9: So basically what a safe note allows you to do

342
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 9: is very uh uh friend is founder friendly essentially. So

343
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 9: with then raising on a safe round, you can project

344
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 9: your cap It's not where you are immediately right now, right,

345
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 9: so just for small numbers, you can say, hey, I'm

346
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 9: gonna raise and right now the company may be only

347
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 9: value that one hundred thousand, but you can raise at

348
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 9: a million. Now, you still need to hit those numbers

349
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 9: right when that because when that because when that safe

350
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 9: converts into a note then you know, it needs that

351
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 9: you need to be at what you said.

352
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: You were going to be at.

353
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 9: But it's more kind of futuristic and it's very you know, friendly,

354
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 9: founder friendly, and I think it came out Actually, why combinator.

355
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 3: How much did you guys raise? We raised a few.

356
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 3: We haven't that yet.

357
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 5: Well, I was so I was like, all right, what

358
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 5: was your did you need to raise money or was yes,

359
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 5: you needed to raise yeah.

360
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 8: And on top of raising the money, I mean we

361
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 8: made mistakes, you know what I'm saying, raising money no,

362
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 8: well no, I wouldn't say raising out having money, yeah,

363
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 8: well without having money, but really mistakes within making garments,

364
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying.

365
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 3: Some of the things didn't come out right. We never

366
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 3: came out with those people like the quality.

367
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, the quality or the lettering or the embroidery, I mean,

368
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 8: something being wrong.

369
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: We have to be able to cover that.

370
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 8: But on the back end, that's where we go get

371
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 8: somebody that we feel comfortable with that can actually do

372
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 8: the job, you know what I'm saying. So a lot

373
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 8: of times, you know, people make mistakes that just innate.

374
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 8: That's the nature of the beast, you know, but if

375
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 8: you have people that believe in you, I mean speaking

376
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 8: on even investors, I mean they introduced us to even

377
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 8: more investors that believe in us. They tell the story,

378
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 8: but then they even say, yeah, these guys that made

379
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 8: you know, a couple of little twines there, they could

380
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 8: have did this and did that, but this is what

381
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 8: they're doing ultimately, and this is where they're going. So

382
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 8: I mean, even though the mistakes have happened, that's why

383
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 8: we do raise because we see where it can go

384
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 8: in the investor see where.

385
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, because it's like it's just all right, even if

386
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 9: we're making money, in order to grow, you gotta like

387
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 9: go It's like a building, right, So it's like, all right,

388
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 9: I may have been making money off five apartments, but

389
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 9: in order to go get another apartment building because this

390
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 9: is working, I got to go get capital to go

391
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 9: acquire that, you know what I mean. So it's the

392
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 9: same sort of thing where it's just like we want

393
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 9: to grow, so it's like, all right, we need to

394
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 9: get larger numbers.

395
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 3: So like even now the risk is just higher.

396
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 9: So like now when to that point our orders are larger,

397
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 9: so we have to have the cash flow to send

398
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 9: someone to China where it's being.

399
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:45,199
Speaker 3: Produced with the factory midway, right, So we.

400
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 9: Went from getting five hundred T shirts to five thousand

401
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 9: T shirts, right, So now we can't afford to just

402
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 9: take a hit on five thousand T shirt mad Way,

403
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 9: you got to go out there and see it, like, Okay,

404
00:18:59,200 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 9: how is it coming?

405
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 3: What's you know? What's the process you see it?

406
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 9: You know what I mean, midway, because if you QC

407
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 9: when it's you know, when it hits your house, your

408
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 9: warehouse is too late because it takes that window of

409
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 9: time for it to get done. So those are kind

410
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 9: of like that, I would say, the little things that

411
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 9: we're learning that have to be in place as you're

412
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 9: building you know this this, this this brand.

413
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 6: When you have the safe notes, is there a duration

414
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 6: of time that you have to have it in?

415
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 4: So if I'm trying to if I'm making one hundred

416
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 4: thousand and I say I can get to a million,

417
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 4: do I have to do it within a certain time frame?

418
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 6: Two year, three years?

419
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:32,680
Speaker 7: Yeah?

420
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's like mutually agreed upon between you

421
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 9: and the investor. But yeah, yeah, some mutually agreed upon

422
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 9: note that you would do when you mature. But I

423
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 9: mean we're we plan on doing the series A for sure.

424
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 9: I would say probably in the next twelve, the eight

425
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 9: fourteen months something like that, you know, because then again

426
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 9: it's just about growth, right like he said, Like you

427
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 9: want to go do a women's line, you got to

428
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 9: go invest in a whole new host of people, new

429
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 9: space the office, more space in the warehouse, new things

430
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 9: on a website, apps, like all different type of things

431
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 9: that go into that demograph, and there's so much more

432
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 9: we want to do, you know, just as a brand,

433
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 9: you know, because it's a brand. It's not just a

434
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 9: singular sweater or T shirt. It's a brand. So as

435
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 9: we want to do all of these things, it definitely

436
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:21,640
Speaker 9: takes investment.

437
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 5: So you like, one of the things about getting investment

438
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,119
Speaker 5: is that the money actually helps obviously, but relationships and

439
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 5: insight for investors that's not owners in the company. So

440
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 5: it's like like you said, Steve Style, you do monthly

441
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 5: calls with him, So we're you strategic and picking the

442
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 5: people that were investors for people that you thought could

443
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 5: add insight and help outside of just providing money.

444
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

445
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 8: Absolutely, I mean even even some of our partnerships have

446
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 8: come from investors, you know, like major partners. I mean

447
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 8: even talking with like Cia, I mean that came from

448
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 8: an investor. You know, they bring so many different elements

449
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 8: to the business. It's because of their their backgrounds, their

450
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 8: history and just investing in general. I mean, they have

451
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 8: so much experience that they can see sometime they want

452
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 8: to introduce us to certain companies that have never been

453
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 8: in the golf and that might want to be in

454
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 8: the golf, but they're willing to spend that money now,

455
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 8: you know, like if they really want to make that

456
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 8: big push because golf is hot right now and that's

457
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 8: the lane that they want to run, then all of

458
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 8: a sudden, they made the introduction and they let us

459
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 8: run with the business or let us run with the partnership,

460
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 8: and then we see where it can go from there.

461
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 8: But that all comes from investors. I mean, even where

462
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 8: we're spending our money. You know, we might have a

463
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,439
Speaker 8: monthly call with with our accountant, but then also one

464
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 8: of them investors might be on there and asks, yo, well,

465
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 8: whyon't you have you ever thought about spending your money

466
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 8: here or pushing it here? And you know, I mean

467
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 8: it's all different ways of thinking about it. But you

468
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 8: know more, you know, more than two DS is better.

469
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 9: Than you know, and a lot of them have gone

470
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 9: where we want to go, right, and so was like

471
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 9: they understand that, and a lot of it is I

472
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 9: would say culture, like these folks understanding because I would

473
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 9: say the golf world are kind of like late adopters

474
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 9: to eat east Side, Like we came in the game

475
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 9: with Chris Paul right, Like, we didn't come in the

476
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 9: game with you know, quote unquote, you know, a professional golfer,

477
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 9: and so we continue to be authenticated by non quote

478
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 9: unquote golfers. But that's the beauty. So they see it early.

479
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 9: They're like, oh, no, I know exactly what this is.

480
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 9: I know exactly what you guys are doing, similar to

481
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 9: what you guys are doing right, Like, it may not

482
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 9: be a major media network that would get behind you,

483
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 9: it might be someone in the culture like, oh, I've

484
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 9: seen this before, you know what I mean in the

485
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 9: traditional media. They're like, I don't understand. I don't get it,

486
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 9: But then now they do clearly if you go to

487
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 9: invest Fest.

488
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,440

Speaker 5: they give you guys cars, you have to promote them

538
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 5: on social media?

539
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,719
Speaker 3: Like what does that have to do? Yeah, yeah, they

540
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 3: give us. Yeah, they definitely give us cars. That was

541
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 3: very very humble of you. They give us cars. But it's, uh,

542
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 3: it's crazy because they're helping us.

543
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 8: We just donated fifty thousand to the Morals golf team

544
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 8: and they're going to be donating another fifty thousand on our.

545
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 9: Behalves so on, and so it's it's like a three

546
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 9: it's a three part you know deal. So we got

547
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 9: like a B to B, which is you know, business

548
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 9: to business, and so from the B to B, they're

549
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 9: supporting a lot of our initiatives and we're going to

550
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 9: be doing a lot of community stuff together and obviously

551
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 9: giving back to more houses. You know, that's close to us,

552
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 9: but it's going to continue. Right There's a lot of

553
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 9: different elements that we have. There's a sprinted vehicle that's

554
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 9: donated to the golf team, and there's a lot to

555
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 9: come out in twenty twenty four, Like he said, there's

556
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 9: really behind us. We will you know, we come on

557
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 9: as official ambassadors as well, which is amazing, you know

558
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 9: what I mean. That's something I don't think either one

559
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 9: of us ever thought when Get Gratarted we would be.

560
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 9: And then we got collaborative clothing that will be coming out,

561
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 9: you know, so we can use the Star. So it's

562
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 9: a very comprehensive partnership that we're super excited about, you know,

563
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 9: to be working with them, and they really have leaned in.

564
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 9: And I think the biggest thing that we Him and

565
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 9: I learned, like you said, you know, our first car

566
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 9: partnership was through an agency, right, and it really wasn't

567
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 9: what we thought it was gonna be.

568
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 3: Right. It was just like a media buy.

569
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 9: And there's nothing wrong with that, right, but we had

570
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 9: to learn because we were frustrated because you you're thinking, oh,

571
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 9: it's with X brand that now that means you.

572
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 3: Got this and you got that.

573
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 9: It's almost like somebody, honestly, you know, signing with Jordan

574
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 9: that you think you're gonna get every pair of Jordan's

575
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 9: and it doesn't or just because you did a collab

576
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 9: that you're gonna get every pair of Jordan and it

577
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 9: doesn't work that way. So we had to kind of learn,

578
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 9: and I think that's why we were able to bring

579
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 9: that to the table and really take our time with

580
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,239
Speaker 9: this partnership. But I definitely do credit the folks over

581
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 9: at Mercedes Benz because oh and I we went in there,

582
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 9: we met with them, and it was probably the one

583
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 9: of the few times that we were actually like stumped.

584
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 9: Like they were like, yo, put money aside, put golf aside,

585
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 9: what can we do with the community, and what is

586
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,239
Speaker 9: the only thing that y'all can do with us?

587
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,239
Speaker 8: We didn't not know how to answer that question. At

588
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 8: thet We're like, get looking back to you. From there,

589
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 8: it was, I mean, we just we just kept it

590
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 8: going from there. I mean, they believe in a lot

591
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 8: of the initiatives that we have and I mean from

592
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 8: now on, you know, well for the next few years,

593
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 8: for the next years, hopefully for albums, the.

594
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 3: Now lifetime deal right right it is I'm calling it

595
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 3: in now good. But you know, we definitely got the

596
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 3: webs on the way.

597
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 9: Yeah webs is that they you know, And like I think,

598
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 9: you know, y'all saw that we had the what we

599
00:27:55,680 --> 00:28:00,520

Speaker 9: the script joint g waggon that up at age sixteen.

602
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 9: This is true, you know, I mean it's only right.

603
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 9: They say, Look, we're gonna be stepping out of a car.

604
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,159
Speaker 3: We're gonna have that star on.

605
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,880
Speaker 6: Why not have Why not have Mercedes?

606
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 10: I mean, by the way, you have a Mercedes too,

607
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 10: that's not let's not let that just go under the Yeah, hey,

Speaker 3: We go three, by the way.

613
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 4: So disruption is what I hear, right, even inside of

614
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 4: infrastructure like Mercedes, this is something that they've never done.

615
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 4: What you guys are doing inside of golf is disruptive

616
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 4: of nineteen sixty one, that's disruptive. I wonder from a

617
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,480

00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 4: incorporate east Side into not only PJ, but now having

621
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:09,600

Speaker 8: I mean we've we've definitely been approached by some players

624
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 8: on the Live Golf tour, as far as the Prince

625
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 8: of Saudi, he knows who east Side Golf.

626
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 3: Is really Yeah, yeah, yeah.

627
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 8: But as far as you know, as far as us

628
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 8: pushing and just trying to figure out where the brand

629
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 8: is going, we're still I mean, we're still kind of new,

630
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 8: you know what I'm saying.

631
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 3: So we're just still trying to find.

632
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 8: Our ground where we're going and uh and truly who's

633
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:40,239
Speaker 8: going to be good partners for us?

634
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 10: You know?

635
00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 3: So I mean it's just a work in progress.

636
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 9: And then yeah, and I mean to that, like, I

637
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 9: think one of the things our principle that we try

638
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 9: to buy by now because of the stage of the brand,

639
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 9: and I'm sure you guys can relate, is like we

640
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 9: want long term, comprehensive partnerships. We don't want to want

641
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 9: like some ninety day things because it's like we have

642
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 9: a community, we have a following, So what does it

643
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 9: look like, you know, us in this card in that

644
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 9: card or what this brand that brand understaid that had

645
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 9: to be whatever. So we've been very intentional when it

646
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 9: comes to that, and we've talked to everybody, like in

647
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 9: the golf space, like we're definitely open and having conversations,

648
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 9: but as time goes on, it's a little bit harder

649
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 9: to get these deals done because we understand the value

650
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 9: that we bring to the table. We also understand the

651
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 9: value that they're going to get when we you know

652
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 9: what I mean, when we do this. So it just

653
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 9: has to be right for us. It has to remain authentic,

654
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,959
Speaker 9: you know what I mean. The last thing we can

655
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 9: do is like, oh, they sold out or whatever it

656
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 9: may be, and not necessarily worried about the term selling out,

657
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 9: but it's just like we don't want to sell ourselves

658
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 9: short either.

659
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 5: So you talked about live Where does that stand with

660
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 5: the pg they was supposed to merge and it got

661
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 5: put on a whole well like Congress was mean about it.

662
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, Well, because the PGA Tour is a nonprofit right,

663
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 9: so they have this special tax exemption. And so with

664
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 9: that special tax exemption, in order for this type of

665
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 9: merger to happen, they remain tax exempt. They have to

666
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 9: it has to be approved by Congress, and so there's

667
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 9: a lot of different things that go into that right.

668
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 9: Because now you've got governments involved, you have to saw

669
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 9: these involved and so it was and then the way

670
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 9: that it all kind of played out too, you know,

671
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 9: end up and it was a lot of don't go

672
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 9: over there, and now they're going to get together and then.

673
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 3: So a lot of you know, it was public.

674
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 9: A lot of the players felt like, yo, they you know,

675
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 9: people were lying, they weren't honest about it. So right

676
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 9: now they have a memo like a turm sheet on

677
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 9: the merger, but it hasn't officially been signed. But to

678
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 9: your point, because it has to be approved by the

679
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 9: you know, Congress, by the US government for this merger

680
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 9: to happen if they want to remain and have their

681
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 9: tax exempt status. So and that's a big you know,

682
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 9: that's why they get a lot of those corporations that

683
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 9: get behind these events and sponsored because you're giving to

684
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 9: you know, you can write it off. So all those

685
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 9: title sponsors for PGA tours, they write that you write

686
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 9: that stuff off.

687
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 3: Hawa are they taxes in? I don't know the history

688
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 3: on why they are.

689
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 9: I mean it's like, you know, it's kind of like

690
00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 9: how a lot of these different sports leagues they have

691
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,960
Speaker 9: these different type of exemptions, whether it be you know,

692
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 9: the NFL I don't know the details of the NBA,

693
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 9: but I'm sure there could be something where, like, you know,

694
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 9: these leagues fall under these exemptions. They have strong lobbyists,

695
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 9: you know, and they support certain things and it allows

696
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 9: them to kind of remain because I think the economic

697
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 9: impact that it has, you know, overall.

698
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,479
Speaker 6: Information there. So I wonder is there's more disruption to come.

699
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 4: Are there brands specifically that you see on the landscape

700
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 4: that you guys like, you know what that would make

701
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 4: sense for us.

702
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 6: To work with or collab with.

703
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, there definitely are other brands that we

704
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 8: do want to work with, you know, I would say

705
00:32:58,880 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 8: usually they're going to be.

706
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 3: Outside, out of the golf space, you know, because that's

707
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 3: our focus.

708
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 8: Is the only way to build this game golf is

709
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 8: to go as far away from it as possible and

710
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 8: then bring those people back to the game and show

711
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 8: them what they're missing, you know, sell them something that's fashionable,

712
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 8: that's that's culture oriented, you know, something that they can

713
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 8: get behind. That's the only way you can truly grow

714
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 8: this game. So I mean we want to, you know,

715
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 8: we want to collab with so many brands that they

716
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 8: just have a different way of thinking. Or that's just

717
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 8: been in a game for a long time that want

718
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 8: to get in the golf but just what you know

719
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 8: that coach would never expect, you know, really putting a

720
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 8: twist on a game and really expanding it to a

721
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 8: space where it just looks different.

722
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 3: At the end of the day, I.

723
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 4: Feel like there's similarities and kind of and it's the

724
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 4: reason why we show up in the same room, right.

725
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 4: Why are the golf guys at fashion a week in Paris?

726
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 4: Why the golf guys sit in courtside.

727
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 6: At the NBA game exactly?

728
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, But.

729
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 4: That's the intentionality or we want to show up because

730
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,640
Speaker 4: we want to be as widespread as possible when it

731
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 4: comes to the demographic.

732
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 6: We're trying to attract.

733
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 9: Exactly exactly and continue to take that conversation same thing

734
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 9: you guys are doing, you know, with financial literacy right

735
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 9: where it's like the information that you guys are giving,

736
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 9: we want to be able to do that. And I

737
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 9: think it's just so many different perspectives that we're basically

738
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 9: fighting against, right, Like we literally have this uphill battle

739
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 9: of these perceptions that everybody has a golf and so

740
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 9: when they see us, it kind of it's like, oh,

741
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 9: I'd never seen it like that, And then when you

742
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 9: consistently see.

743
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 3: Us, you're like, oh wow, Like no, that really is

744
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 3: a thing. It's not just a fad.

745
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 9: They weren't just doing this to start, you know, to

746
00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 9: be cool because of the trend. It's like, nah, they

747
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 9: really are doing this. But as you saw at the

748
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 9: A sixteen event, he can really play golf.

749
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

750
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 9: It's not like the bro Yeah, exactly teaching you know

751
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 9: what I mean. You was out there doing your thing. Man,

752
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 9: that was only one on camera, so.

753
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 3: That's only I could go off.

754
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 6: Yes the record, it's on the record.

755
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 3: Let the record reflect.

756
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 5: So you guys, all right, so you have the collaboration

757
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 5: with Jordan, but the merch is still independent, right, yes,

758
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 5: So has there been talk of Nike collaborating with merch.

759
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:16,799
Speaker 3: With you guys?

760
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 8: Well, so, our last collaboration with shoes, the Red Clay collection,

761
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 8: we did do a collaboration with Jordan Brand on apparel.

762
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:27,239
Speaker 3: You know, but moving forward, even with these shoes, we

763
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 3: came out with.

764
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 8: Our own collection like this varsity jacket, like these sweatpants

765
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 8: and just put the word change on it, you know.

766
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 3: So it's something that can be bought straight from us.

767
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 3: That goes with the shoes.

768
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 8: Perfectly, but it's still it's independent. It's independent from Nike

769
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 8: and Jordan Brand.

770
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 3: What's the percentage of like the business as far as

771
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 3: like the sneakers versus apparel. I mean, our core is apparel.

772
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,799
Speaker 9: We're in apparel company, right, So obviously the sneakers help,

773
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 9: you know what I mean, But the quantities aren't that large, right.

774
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,320
Speaker 9: That's why they're also like covet it because there's not

775
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 9: you know, millions of shoes being produced, because it's it

776
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 9: still falls in like the golf realm and it's still

777
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 9: you know, and in the world of Nike, golf is

778
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 9: still you know, a very small line item, right, and

779
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 9: so it's not it's not overwhelming. I mean, we still

780
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 9: are apparel that so the sneakers are more so like.

781
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:25,320
Speaker 5: Just to really create that buzz, yeah, energy and perils

782
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 5: driving yes, yeah yeah.

783
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 8: And you know I mean when we come up with sneakers,

784
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 8: being prepared for that moment, yes, you know, being strategic

785
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 8: about that, like lining up interviews and even having this

786
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 8: apparel to where we have like our holiday collection and

787
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 8: anything else that we really want to get out there.

788
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a hot time to talk about it.

789
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 8: This is a hot time to get in front of

790
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 8: just the right people so we can expand the brand

791
00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 8: and and really skyrocket into you never know, another demographic

792
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:52,919
Speaker 8: of some sort.

793
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 3: Right.

794
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 9: And then I think it's learning too, right, Like we've

795
00:36:55,600 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 9: had the privilege to work with amazing brands, right, you

796
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 9: have a docu series on Hulu, you know, and working

797
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 9: with them.

798
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 3: Rats on that, Thank you, thank you, go check it out.

799
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 3: Grails still streaming.

800
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,839
Speaker 9: We've worked with Jordan Brand, Mercedes, and like that's one

801
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 9: of the things that we've learned. Like we take nuggets

802
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 9: and being in these rooms, right, Like we're not just

803
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 9: in the room, like all right, this is what we

804
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 9: want to do. We're watching how they treat their brand,

805
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 9: how protective they are of their brand, and why they

806
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 9: chose to do it with us.

807
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 3: Why what specifically do they want to do with us,

808
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 3: Because that's the power, right.

809
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 9: And so I think as we're transitioning, like he said,

810
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 9: we're an apparel brand. We're very protective of our product

811
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 9: and we're very proud of it. So if you see

812
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 9: us partner with anybody with apparel, it's got to be right.

813
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 9: It can't just be you know, something that we're just

814
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 9: doing just because and that's why they work with us.

815
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 9: But I think again we're very protective of the apparel.

816
00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 6: Definitely go check out Grails for that.

817
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,440

00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 4: you are the pro. And when we first met you,

825
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 4: being a pro was still something that you were actively pursuing.

826
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 6: Talk about the.

827
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,920

828
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,600
Speaker 4: starting to sign athletes as well, so talk about how

829
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 4: that has been going.

830
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'm still going after you know, I plan

831
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,399
Speaker 3: on turning back pro next year.

832
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 10: Uh.

833
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 8: We will have a pro tournament next year to where

834
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 8: I'll be playing in it. And then also you know,

835
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 8: we're sponsoring the actual purse as well, so I have

836
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,239
Speaker 8: a chance to win the money that I.

837
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 3: Put in it.

838
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 6: Really beat the pro.

839
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 3: All'all got to beat me.

840
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,919
Speaker 8: So I mean, but It's definitely still a dream of mid.

841
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 8: I mean, that's why we're here.

842
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 3: You know.

843
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 8: At the end of the day, I wanted to pursue

844
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 8: my my dreams become a professional golfer, and that's where

845
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 8: the company was originated, you know. So now being able

846
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 8: to afford that, we just got to build the team more.

847
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,040
Speaker 8: I mean, the design team has to grow. The day

848
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 8: to day team has to grow, so then I can

849
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 8: a loot that time to actually go out there and

850
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 8: practice and then have that time to go to tournaments

851
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 8: and I mean some of these tournaments two three, four days.

852
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 8: I mean I even have an opportunity to go to

853
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 8: Japan play on a Japan Tour, uh well, Japan Q

854
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 8: School Pro Tour, and that's about four months, you know.

855
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 3: But how can I do that? If the company is

856
00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 3: and we need you where it needs.

857
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 6: I'll be going yeah.

858
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 8: But I mean I'm definitely just giving myself that chance.

859
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 8: That's That's where I'm at. But now, I mean I

860
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 8: see how important that is. But giving that chance to

861
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 8: somebody else, that's why we did UH sign three athletes.

862
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 8: Actually to of them, Michael Horrera, He's a professional golfers

863
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 8: doing very well this year. Wyat Worthington, another professional golfer.

864
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 8: Both of them have played on PGA Tour events and

865
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 8: also nil deal with a young kid. Matthew Vattel goes

866
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 8: to Temple University. So I mean, all of these guys

867
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 8: have great game.

868
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 3: He just won the Pennsylvania Amateur. Yeah as well, Matthew Vattel.

869
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 8: So I mean we got we got quality players, we

870
00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 8: got quality product. But I mean, all in all, I

871
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 8: mean we're just about pushing the game forward for professionals.

872
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 8: But then on top of that, it coming from us,

873
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 8: it's just a different perspective like they would have never

874
00:40:37,280 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 8: thought we've had sound golfers.

875
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,240
Speaker 6: So yeah, just had your first invitational.

876
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, that was crazy. It was amazing.

877
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:45,840
Speaker 6: That was one thing that was missing that was, be

878
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 6: honest with you, I believe it.

879
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 3: Yes, it was. Man, we thought you was gonna be

880
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 3: Abu Dhabi, but you.

881
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 6: Know that's also gonna happen.

882
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, h no, we definitely, no, I was.

883
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 6: It was.

884
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 3: It was great. Y'all invited dates coming soon, It's gonna

885
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 3: be close. I'll just say it like that. But no,

886
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 3: this year was incredible.

887
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,439
Speaker 9: One of the things that you know, when we first

888
00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 9: started the brand, it was always that question of like

889
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 9: when y'all gonna do a golf tournament, When y'all gonna

890
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:17,919
Speaker 9: do a golf tournament, because that's like the low hanging fruit,

891
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 9: and we never really been those guys.

892
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 3: Dude.

893
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 9: I can remember all the time, even in the beginning,

894
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 9: when it was just like me and oh, I will

895
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 9: show him something to be like, bro, that's easy, like

896
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 9: everybody doing that.

897
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 3: Let's let's figure it out. That ain't it. Let's let's

898
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 3: go somewhere else.

899
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 9: And so it was a perfect timing and you know,

900
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 9: again shout out to Mercedes being our presenting sponsor, to

901
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 9: really being able to be a part of that, and

902
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 9: so we could elevated everybody getting picked up in may

903
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,280
Speaker 9: bax gls, the whole sprint of Vans. But the beautiful

904
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 9: thing about the event was the fact that we chose

905
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 9: San Diego because in nineteen fifty two, that's when Joe

906
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 9: Lewis played in a PGA Tour event as the first

907
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,600
Speaker 9: African American and breaking that color barrier.

908
00:41:58,680 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 3: So that's why we chose the city.

909
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 9: And then we were fortunate enough to bring out the

910
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 9: entire Moraholes College golf team and the ad and present

911
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 9: them with a fifty with a fifty thousand dollars check,

912
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:11,439
Speaker 9: and so everyone walked away from the experience like Wow,

913
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 9: I'm ready to come back for next year. And seeing

914
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 9: the kids and the moments and the smiles, like we

915
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 9: just posted something on our Instagram and like literally you

916
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 9: could see it in the face, like everyone's smiling, teeth.

917
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 3: Out like it was. It was a special, special moment.

918
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 9: And so we're excited to recreate that, you know, for

919
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 9: years moving forward, and we're going to continue to uplift

920
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 9: you know, the Moraholes College Golf team. Like we like

921
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 9: to say, man, we're trying to deon stand to them boys,

922
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,280
Speaker 9: We're trying to have that prime time effect.

923
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,359
Speaker 3: Fact, so what was let's talk about the docu series

924
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 3: walking through that? Like I forgot we hadn't been on

925
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 3: here since then for sure. I mean we see all the.

926
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 9: Time, so it's weird, Like I'm like, oh, yeah, I'm like, well,

927
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 9: we'll talk about that, but yeah, we haven't been.

928
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 8: You want to yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean well it

929
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 8: definitely first starts off as me talking out the logo

930
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 8: because I am the logo, but I want to turn

931
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,080
Speaker 8: pro and golf and I couldn't find any sponsors. So

932
00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 8: it was like, why not start a business and sponsor myself,

933
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 8: take the entrepreneur route. I started being told no, and

934
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 8: I wanted to turn pro. So one thing led to another.

935
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 8: Eastside Golf was born. Of course, you know, I'm from

936
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 8: East Atlanta, grew up in East Atlanta playing golf. But

937
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 8: that transition to how the clothes look, you know, and

938
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 8: how we carry ourselves. But then now it's just another way.

939
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:31,440
Speaker 8: But we showed all of that during the docu series.

940
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 8: So then we showed our first pair of fours that

941
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,959
Speaker 8: you guys saw and it was only a few hundred

942
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 8: pairs actually made. So from there and we showed the

943
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 8: next set of five shoes called the Red Clay Collection.

944
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 8: I designed both. I designed that red clay collection for

945
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 8: me being from the South. You know what I'm saying.

946
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 8: I used to take the bus to the actual golf

947
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 8: course and by the time I get to the Marto

948
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 8: bus stop, it's red clay.

949
00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 3: Mud all over my shoes.

950
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 8: But it showed determination hard work that I was here

951
00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,439
Speaker 8: to get it out the mud. But that's where those

952
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 8: shoes and that collaboration, well the name of that collaboration

953
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:12,839
Speaker 8: came from. But I mean The entire docuseries shows our

954
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 8: I guess, our trail from literally that the first coming

955
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 8: out with the logo, all the way through going up

956
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,200
Speaker 8: to Jordan or Nike headquarters and showing that meeting and

957
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 8: showing the first time we saw the shoes, you know.

958
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 8: I mean, it's an incredible moment. It looked like it

959
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,160
Speaker 8: looked like I was about to cry, honestly. I mean

960
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 8: I looked at it the other day. I was like, wow, Like,

961
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 8: I mean, it's just I'm just so grateful. I mean,

962
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 8: we look so grateful and just to have the opportunity

963
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 8: to show that so many more people can show how

964
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 8: far their dreams and how far they're actually company can

965
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 8: go just through really pushing that and working hard.

966
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:53,839
Speaker 3: Yeah.

967
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 9: And I would add to that, it's like it's golf too, right,

968
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,719
Speaker 9: So it's different, right, Like we're doing this. You got

969
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 9: two young black men doing this in golf, right, and

970
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 9: to have that documented is with special I will say,

971
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 9: it's kind of funny now we look back on it

972
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 9: like it was one of them things where we really

973
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 9: will troop be told. When it first kind of came

974
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 9: to us, we really didn't even want to do it.

975
00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 9: And I say that because it was just more like

976
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 9: we were just so locked in on the work, like

977
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 9: it was a we looked at it almost like a

978
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 9: distracting like coming here, sit down in front of these cameras,

979
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 9: you're like, man, it's so much work to do.

980
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 3: We don't have time to do this.

981
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,479
Speaker 9: But it was one of those things that we worked

982
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 9: through it and we're able to, you know, kind of

983
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 9: see okay when it all came together, you're like, oh,

984
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 9: because the way a documentary is shy. Anybody knows it's

985
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 9: very choppy. It's not like how you see on TV.

986
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 9: It's like film for a day, then you might not

987
00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:45,399
Speaker 9: film for three.

988

Speaker 4: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,

990
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,120
Speaker 4: and sure they definitely can be, but understanding a professionals

992
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 4: little after day. It's like banking with P and C Bank.

993
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,759

994
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,880
Speaker 4: decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is

995
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 4: what helps you live or more happily fulfilled life. P

Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

1024
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,600
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

1025
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christine Noman, the State Secretary

1026
00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 1: of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border crossings

1027
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,839
Speaker 1: are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over one

1028
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,120
Speaker 1: hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you were

1029
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: here illegally, you're next. You will be fine nearly one

1030
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,720

00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:32,720
Speaker 1: what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump America's laws, border

00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 2: Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

1036
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 3: Months and then come back and all.

1037
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 9: We got to stage this moment or that moment, and

1038
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 9: we had a lot of footage too that we had

1039
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:47,840
Speaker 9: been you know, taping, which I will say he can

1040
00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 9: attest to this.

1041
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 3: He's on me all the time.

1042
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 9: And that's why we have two photographers with us right now.

1043
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 9: Film everything, you know, film everything. It is difficult because

1044
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 9: you still kind of want to have a level of

1045
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 9: privacy and you want to be able to, you know,

1046
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 9: just focus on the business because it takes a while

1047
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 9: for people to get comfortable in front of the cameras.

1048
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 9: Like we're comfortable in front of the cameras because we're

1049
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 9: in front of it all the time, but you could

1050
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 9: tell when somebody's like acting or doing something different.

1051
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 3: It's like, bro, don't worry about that.

1052
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 9: So that was more why we didn't like the cameras

1053
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 9: because it was like, you bring the camera into a

1054
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 9: work session, it's going to be very unproductive because most

1055
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 9: people that work with us aren't used to cameras all

1056
00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 9: around them. But now the docu series is amazing. The

1057
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 9: six episodes. It definitely gives you an insight on you know,

1058
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 9: the brand, who we are, and where we're going.

1059
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 3: So it's special. It's called Grails. Go check it out.

1060
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 4: You you spoke about the fifty thousand dollars going to

1061
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,480
Speaker 4: Morehouse and we were talking about this prior. You know,

1062
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 4: there was just this post that you know Howard Howard,

1063
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 4: you know you know that school right, you know they

1064
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,239
Speaker 4: have one of the top ranked HBCU golf programs. But

1065
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 4: it talked because of the sponsorship that Steph Curry brought

1066
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 4: right like and sponsoring the golf team even though it's

1067
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:02,040
Speaker 4: a night school.

1068
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 6: He took over the golf program.

1069
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 4: We saw this happen with Dion and Jackson State when

1070
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 4: we talked about these programs in these HBCUs need endowment,

1071
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 4: they need, you know, the alumni to come back in boosters,

1072
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 4: to give back to their schools.

1073
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,239
Speaker 6: Talk about the importance of it.

1074
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 4: Obviously what you're doing with Morehouse, but what we can

1075
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,759
Speaker 4: see happen is Jackson State can thrive and we can

1076
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 4: see how it becoming the number one golf program.

1077
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 6: Talk about the importance of giving back to these schools.

1078
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's really important. That's that's where me

1079
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 8: and Earl met at. You know what I'm saying. If

1080
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 8: you want to see more Elijah ones than neurals, this

1081
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 8: is where you get back to. You know, golfers are

1082
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 8: a little bit different of athletes, a lot of them.

1083
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 8: I think they have the highest GPA on average out.

1084
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 3: Of all sports.

1085
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 6: They took you all grades into account.

1086
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, right now Morehouse golf team does have the highest.

1087
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:58,480
Speaker 8: The high GPA in their conference, hopefully in all HBCUs.

1088
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 8: But at the end of the day, it's about we

1089
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 8: know what golf can do for so many people, but

1090
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 8: just imagine what it can do for some college students,

1091
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 8: you know, like now they can be around entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers,

1092
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,399
Speaker 8: people that run businesses. So whatever their major is, now

1093
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 8: they have an actual tool they can get them around

1094
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 8: the people that can actually get them a job after college.

1095
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:21,959
Speaker 8: If if they don't want to turn pro and golf,

1096
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 8: that's cool, you know, but now use the game of

1097
00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 8: golf the further yourself, you know, use the game of

1098
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 8: golf or get back into the actual game and change it,

1099
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 8: you know from you know, if you're in a if

1100
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 8: you're a marketing major, you know, now try to get

1101
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 8: a job with the PGA or you know, PGA Tour.

1102
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:42,319
Speaker 8: Hopefully we can, we can work with them and now

1103
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:44,959
Speaker 8: and now show them a different way of showing golf.

1104
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 8: But it's coming from a different perspective. People that have

1105
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:51,000
Speaker 8: never gotten a chance to get into that into that

1106
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 8: section of sport. You know, people that have never really

1107
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 8: it's just never been shown in a light that really

1108
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 8: gets us captivated.

1109
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 4: At the end of the day, I'm a little bit unaware,

1110
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:09,920
Speaker 4: but how much is needed for a golf program. Obviously

1111
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 4: the clubs are they playing to get into the tournaments.

1112
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 9: Travel with travel scholarship, I mean it's a couple hundred

1113
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 9: thousand a year on an annual budget. You know, between scholarships,

1114
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 9: you got hotels, you got food, you got uniforms that

1115
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 9: could be given within the conference. But again all those

1116
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 9: little things. You got golf balls, like, there's a lot

1117
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 9: of these little things. And then typically you meant to

1118
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 9: pay for the golf course as well. If it's not donated,

1119
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,080
Speaker 9: there could be a fee for you to get out there.

1120
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 9: And then you got a head coach that needs to

1121
00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 9: get paid. And then some people have head coach, assistant coaches, trainers,

1122
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 9: all that sort of thing.

1123
00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 3: You know.

1124
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 9: So it's not a thing where it's a multimillion dollar

1125
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 9: annual budget, but for an HBCU, a couple hundred thousand

1126
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 9: can go a long way, and they may see they

1127
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 9: want to put that revenue somewhere else. But I also

1128
00:52:58,040 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 9: want to go back to what you were saying, because

1129
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 9: I think for me, the importance of giving back to

1130
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 9: HBCUs and golf and us particularly Like I grew up

1131
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 9: in Womington, Delaware, and it really wasn't a lot of

1132
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 9: you know, it's like a majority white town in state,

1133
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 9: and so you talk about golf, that's how golf is.

1134
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 9: And so for me going down to Moorhouse in Atlanta

1135
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 9: and meeting him and the rest of our team members,

1136
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 9: I'm like, yo, I've never been just like playing golf

1137
00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 9: with y'all, I was like, WHOA, Like this is amazing.

1138
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 9: And so oftentimes for us to create an opportunity for

1139
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 9: that young black kid out there or that young minority

1140
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 9: kid out there to come to another place that they

1141
00:53:35,840 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 9: can continue to flourish in golf and not feel like

1142
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 9: he's a second class because they don't have this. They

1143
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 9: don't have that, we won't want to provide all of

1144
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 9: the quality resources you need, and you can still be

1145
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 9: in an environment with people that look like you and

1146
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 9: feel comfortable with the things you want to talk about.

1147
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 3: You know, that goes a.

1148
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 9: Long way, because typically in your golf journey, you're going

1149
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 9: to be faced around white folks. It's just the nature

1150
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 9: of the demographic of the so you have to be

1151
00:54:03,680 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 9: comfortable in that. But to have that ability to be

1152
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:07,840
Speaker 9: around people that look like you, because He'll tell you

1153
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 9: that was the first thing.

1154
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 3: That blew my mind.

1155
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 9: Like going to Atlanta and seeing all them brothers play golf,

1156
00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 9: I'm like, I never saw that. And that's so to

1157
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 9: create an environment like that, I think HBCU golf is

1158
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 9: very very important for their journey because it allows you

1159
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 9: to just again identify who you are and gives you

1160
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 9: that small little four year window to be like, man,

1161
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,239
Speaker 9: I'm playing with people that look like me.

1162
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 6: That's fine.

1163
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 3: Teams speak about endowment.

1164
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean as far as like you know, for us,

1165
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 9: so we we definitely plan on it down and Wails

1166
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 9: College golf team and following the you know, the path

1167
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 9: and stuff. I mean I've heard, you know, we probably

1168
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,760
Speaker 9: need to raise anywhere from i'd say about six million

1169
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 9: dollars to really get it going to where you would

1170
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 9: invest majority of those funds and then they off. The

1171
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 9: investments can kind of kick off on an annual basis

1172
00:54:57,840 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 9: on what you need to you know, spend, and then

1173
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 9: you have like certain events that you would do so

1174
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:05,239
Speaker 9: like the east Side Golf Invitational clearly becomes a benefactor event,

1175
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 9: like Steph does one in Pebble Beach every year, and

1176
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,720
Speaker 9: then you may host a dinner and things of that nature.

1177
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 9: Just to continue, you know, we want to bring in

1178
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:14,640
Speaker 9: other partners like Mercedes. They've been great there behind the team.

1179
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 9: And so as we continue to He'll tell you any

1180
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 9: corporate room we go in and people talk about charity

1181
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 9: males college golf team.

1182
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 5: So what is the is the main focus the sport

1183
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 5: of golf or the fashion of because I say that

1184
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 5: to say a lot of sports brands started as a

1185
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:32,359
Speaker 5: sports brand now has nothing to do with the sport

1186
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:36,840
Speaker 5: at all. Polo, right, even like you see, like you know,

1187
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 5: rugby's originally were for rugby players, right right, right, and

1188
00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 5: nobody that's wearing rugbies these days or in the last

1189
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 5: twenty years plays rugby, right. Even you know basketball, I

1190
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 5: mean it's still synonymous, but sneaker culture. Nobody's playing basketball

1191
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 5: in Jordan's right probably ever right right. These are things

1192
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 5: that are made at this point, they kind of made

1193
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 5: to not be in sports, made for fashion, and that's

1194
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 5: happened with soccer, a lot a variety of different sports.

1195
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 5: You see people wearing soccer jerseys, and soccer fashion has

1196
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 5: become a thing that people wear. So you're you have

1197
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:22,080
Speaker 5: a lifestyle brand of clothes, and so do you see

1198
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 5: the fashion evolving to the point where it's not about

1199
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 5: get know? I mean, but I'll go, I'll go.

1200
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 8: But the special thing about east Side Golf is that

1201
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 8: we can sell to pro shops and boutiques. You know,

1202
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 8: like not a lot of golf or if any golf

1203
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,080
Speaker 8: companies can be successful in a boutique like Extra Butter

1204
00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:46,840
Speaker 8: or Bodega.

1205
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 3: I mean, we're we're selling the head covers.

1206
00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 8: I mean, you could pick up one of our head

1207
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 8: covers that Bodega, you know what I'm saying, and eventually

1208
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:55,879
Speaker 8: pick up one.

1209
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 3: Of our golf bags of Bodega.

1210
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 8: You know, Now you have a whole different demographic that's

1211
00:57:01,640 --> 00:57:04,280
Speaker 8: walking in there, that's being introduced to golf a totally

1212
00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 8: different way, and don't have to go to your country

1213
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:08,399
Speaker 8: club down the street in New York.

1214
00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 3: Do you know?

1215
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 5: It just rough like a percentage of people that wear

1216
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 5: you're apparel that actually play golf and people that are

1217
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 5: just wearing it.

1218
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 3: I don't think we know the percentage, but I don't

1219
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 3: feel like we.

1220
00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 9: I think we have a lot of non golfers wear

1221
00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 9: and that's what we're excited about. And I mean I think, look,

1222
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:28,440
Speaker 9: this shoe is a prime example, kline with what you're

1223
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 9: talking about. That is a golf shoe, but you can

1224
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 9: wear it off the golf course. And so it's like

1225
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 9: our whole thought process is if you can take the

1226
00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 9: conversation at golf into where people are comfortable.

1227
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 3: It's like the same thing y'all doing with finance.

1228
00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 9: Instead of saying you got to have a suit on,

1229
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 9: you got to be in this room, you got in

1230
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 9: a classroom setting or whatever it may be.

1231
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:49,360
Speaker 3: Having the ability to.

1232
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 9: Take that conversation where people can understand that's what we're

1233
00:57:54,160 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 9: all about. And I think these shoes are a prime

1234
00:57:56,640 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 9: example of you can wear them on the golf course,

1235
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 9: but you can wear them off the golf course.

1236
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 5: You've also so you actually have golf traditional golf apparel

1237
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 5: that's wearable off like the cardigans, yes, and like the

1238
00:58:11,440 --> 00:58:14,960
Speaker 5: actual polo shirt. Yes, these are things that you can

1239
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 5: wear on the golf course, but you can also wear

1240
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 5: as street fashion as well.

1241
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,480
Speaker 9: Exactly exactly, Yeah, no, I mean it's it's and that's

1242
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 9: something that you know, the first brand to ever do that.

1243
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 3: I don't know where the first brand to ever do that.

1244
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,320
Speaker 9: I would say that we are the first brand that

1245
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 9: has had culture involved in it, you know what I mean?

1246
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 9: Like you're how many you had the number one draft

1247
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 9: picker his name from Orlando. He was wearing the carnigan

1248
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 9: you know, started the season last year like Pablo, Yeah,

1249
00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:48,640
Speaker 9: wearing it down the tunnel. We're the first brand to

1250
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:51,439
Speaker 9: do that, right, So you're not going to catch any

1251
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 9: other golf brand where folks are going to be wearing

1252
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:56,080
Speaker 9: it down the tunnel. I guarantee you going to see

1253
00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,280
Speaker 9: this varsity and other varsities that we have being worn

1254
00:58:59,360 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 9: down the tonn.

1255
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna see Calloway or Ping, right, we go.

1256
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 3: To see yeah, yeah, one thousand percent do y'all?

1257
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 4: In terms of putting inside of the stores, are y'all

1258
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 4: fighting for shelf space? Like is it specifically like I

1259
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 4: want the clothes to be here, whereas if certain brands

1260
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 4: are sold, they're gonna put them at the front of

1261
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:20,400
Speaker 4: the store. Put y'all, does that get into the factory

1262
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,320
Speaker 4: of where where you put it in the locations as

1263
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 4: far as throughout the country where you're putting it at.

1264
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 9: I mean, I think we're mindful of our partners, right,

1265
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 9: anybody that as a wholesale account with east Side GoF

1266
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 9: we're extremely mindful right where you don't want to cannibalize it, right.

1267
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:38,360
Speaker 9: So a lot of these boutiques they want exclusivity right

1268
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:39,920
Speaker 9: in the street culture. You want to know, I go

1269
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 9: to X boutique, I can get it here, right, So

1270
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 9: we're mindful of the fact that, like we may not

1271
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 9: have if you're selling it to this person in that city,

1272
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 9: you may not want to have for the people in

1273
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 9: it in that city.

1274
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 3: Now, when it comes to like shelf space, I think

1275
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:55,400
Speaker 3: for us it's.

1276
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 9: About the product because if it's in the back, then

1277
00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 9: it's not moving, you know what I'm saying. They want

1278
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 9: we want to be good partners. So a lot of

1279
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 9: it is like the marketing making people aware of it.

1280
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 9: Like so we just actually did a deal with Parodies

1281
01:00:10,080 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 9: who owns PGA toward fan shops. So right now in

1282
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:16,600
Speaker 9: the airport you can find east Side Golf in these

1283
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 9: PGA tourd fan shops.

1284
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 3: So in the airport in.

1285
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:23,919
Speaker 9: Memphis, what else is Vegas Vegas and nothing at Los Angeles. Yeah,

1286
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 9: and the cell th was crazy right now right like

1287
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:29,280
Speaker 9: they're like moving. But again, this is kind of what

1288
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 9: O is saying. It's like you could be going to

1289
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 9: Los Angeles in the airport, pop in here, like, oh,

1290
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 9: they got an east side golf Let me run over

1291
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 9: here and grab a tea real quick. But you're going

1292
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 9: into a golf store to go grab a tea real quick,

1293
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying. Or it's that's the beauty

1294
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 9: element of what we're trying to do because then when

1295
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 9: you go in there, you're a new customer. Now you

1296
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 9: might be like I saw these dope golf shoes or

1297
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 9: I saw this whatever that I could you know, Troy

1298
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 9: Shot might like this, you know what I mean. It's

1299
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 9: just one of those things where it's open us up

1300
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 9: to this new world. And that's what we're still excited

1301
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 9: about and passionate about because we still see that upside

1302
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 9: of like y'all are in it because y'all know us

1303
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 9: the dope fashion. But wait till y'all get hooked on

1304
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 9: the game and it's coming because y'all see all these

1305
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 9: people around you playing they loving it.

1306
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 3: And then even if you don't get hooked.

1307
01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 9: It's just at least an opportunity because you're seeing it

1308
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 9: more and more, I'm sure, golf opportunities, golf opportunities, So

1309
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 9: one of these days y'all can get out there and

1310
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 9: really get with it.

1311
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 6: Does the portfolio grow outside the merge to actual equipment?

1312
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 3: Right?

1313
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 6: Do we see east side golf clubs? Do we see

1314
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 6: the golf balls?

1315
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 3: Do we see the t well, I wouldn't say equipment, definitely.

1316
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 8: That's what collaborations what we look forward to, you know,

1317
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,160
Speaker 8: working with companies that we're not trying to reinvent the

1318
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 8: wheel with that.

1319
01:01:48,200 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 3: I mean, it costs a lot of money to make

1320
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,320
Speaker 3: a golf club, you know what I'm saying.

1321
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 8: But actually owning a golf course, you know, actually making

1322
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:00,040
Speaker 8: like an east side golf club, that's something that that

1323
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 8: hopefully is in our future.

1324
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,400
Speaker 9: Percent now it's definitely coming in. Yeah, So it's definitely expanding.

1325
01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 9: We'll always But I think the beautiful thing about it

1326
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 9: is is being very protective of the brand. Right, So

1327
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 9: we're working with these amazing brands and so we're very intentional. Right,

1328
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 9: That's why I was saying, we're protective of our clothing

1329
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 9: because when we put that stamp on something, we wanted

1330
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 9: to mean something. And so as long as that stamp

1331
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,280
Speaker 9: stays strong, we can get into all of those things

1332
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 9: that you're talking about, right, because our audience is so

1333
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 9: wide and vast, and even when you start talking about

1334
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 9: like a company and evaluation and the brand and reach,

1335
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 9: it's like we're not just we can't you can't define

1336
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 9: us and find a comparable for our business and do

1337
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 9: it in the golf space because we're bigger than golf. Right,

1338
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 9: So somebody might say, oh, well, you know there's other

1339
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 9: golf brands and their value that X millions of dollars.

1340
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 3: Well, I guess that's where y'all at.

1341
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 9: And we're like, no, no, no, no, no, Now we

1342
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 9: are a We want Polo, we want you know, Nike, Rebod,

1343
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:01,720
Speaker 9: we want those type of numbers.

1344
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 3: That's you know, that's what we're headed for. That's what

1345
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:05,880
Speaker 3: we want to be compared to. So your goal is

1346
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 3: to eventually buy a golf course, Yeah, absolutely, have you

1347
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 3: looked at it? And yet? Yeah?

1348
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, I'm we're looking in Georgia right now, looking

1349
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 8: at about four different places. Definitely been working with Andre

1350
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 8: Dickens and also Mayor bloom out in College Park in Atlanta.

1351
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 3: Have great relationships with them.

1352
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 8: But then also we I mean it was it was

1353
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 8: something I had to do early on, was get I

1354
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 8: would say letters of references. I can't tell you who

1355
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 8: wrote those letters because it's confidential, but just saying these

1356
01:03:38,520 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 8: people would come out to the golf course and support it.

1357
01:03:41,280 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 8: These are high value people. These are people that we're

1358
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 8: around all the time. And I mean just saying that

1359
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 8: these people will come out at the end of the day,

1360
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 8: who's going to help the community the most. That's who's

1361
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 8: going to get the golf course, and that's who's going

1362
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,880
Speaker 8: to push forward and make change, you know, That's what

1363
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 8: all of these different cities around Atlanta, around the nation.

1364
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:04,840
Speaker 3: Are looking for. Yeah, and I think that's a learning moment.

1365
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 9: So like a lot of people don't know that, like

1366
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 9: golf courses, a lot of golf courses are public parks

1367
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 9: and they're owned by the municipality, right and so when

1368
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 9: they're owned by the municipality, there's often rps that go

1369
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 9: out and you get these different management contracts to go

1370
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 9: manage the golf course because a city has they don't

1371
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,080
Speaker 9: They're like, hey, we need to sub this out, we

1372
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 9: don't need to manage it. Now they're not necessarily even

1373
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 9: trying to make money on it, because again they're like, hey,

1374
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 9: if you're going to come in and make this attractive,

1375
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 9: it brings that economic impact. So they'll literally for a dollar,

1376
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 9: you can manage this for a dollar a year for

1377
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:44,320
Speaker 9: the next four or five years. Now, again you need

1378
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,280
Speaker 9: to have a plan, and there's management groups that go

1379
01:04:47,400 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 9: out all the time and bid for these municipality and

1380
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 9: city golf courses, and so again that's kind of where

1381
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 9: we were looking at what we're putting together an attractive

1382
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 9: offer and saying, hey, you can trust this golf course

1383
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,080
Speaker 9: in our hands. It's going to be well manicure. These

1384
01:05:01,080 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 9: are the type of people that are gonna come out.

1385
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 9: But again I encourage each and everyone that's listening to

1386
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 9: go find that municipal golf course in your neighborhood or

1387
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 9: or in your surrounding area, because that's a public facility

1388
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 9: that you, as a taxpayer, have the right to go

1389
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 9: out and enjoy.

1390
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:21,959
Speaker 4: Technically, there's a difference between that route and privately owned

1391
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 4: Yes one hundred they owned privately ones they own the land, Yes,

1392
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 4: charged membership fee, Yes, the public one is a bit different.

1393
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:30,880
Speaker 9: Yes, big big difference. And then again so like the

1394
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 9: public route, you could have it where it's almost like

1395
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 9: like stock almost right, like you can buy in like

1396
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 9: your initiation you buy in at It could be any

1397
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 9: It could be one hundred thousand dollars to become a

1398
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 9: member here right as that value goes up, and if

1399
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,160
Speaker 9: it's limited numbers of stock, you can sell it for

1400
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 9: more more, you can pass it down. That's what a

1401
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 9: lot of people don't understand too. A lot of these

1402
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 9: memberships are passed down, right, So you right now, y'all,

1403
01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 9: what's just the country club? You could join what'sester country club?

1404
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:02,560
Speaker 9: To say, cost you one hundred thousand joint Winchester country Club.

1405
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:07,959
Speaker 9: You then could be a member. Your son's a member,

1406
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 9: he rolls right into his junior membership. After him rolling

1407
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 9: into his junior membership, he now inherits your membership as

1408
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 9: a full time member, and he doesn't have to pay

1409
01:06:17,240 --> 01:06:20,320
Speaker 9: that initiation fee. And that initiation fee could be worth

1410
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 9: five hundred thousand when it's time for him to become

1411
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 9: a member. Just just sheer off of inflation and then

1412
01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 9: the access that he has right as well. Now, so

1413
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 9: your son may not be like, I don't play golf.

1414
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 9: My dad got this membership at Westchester, but hey, let's

Speaker 9: wealth and decision making that are going on. It's very

1432
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 9: like a quiet society. Nobody's talking about our experiences, Like

Speaker 8: hit up today. Couldn't even make it because we're traveling.

1461
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:32,800
Speaker 8: But they're inviting us out to go play golf just

1462
01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:36,080
Speaker 8: to you know, talk, you know, where you guys's heads, like,

01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 8: country clubs, trying to honestly sometimes earn our business, you know.

1467
01:08:46,240 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 3: I mean this is how the game works.

1468
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 8: I mean there are no gatekeepers, there are no people

1469
01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 8: that say, I mean, you know you can't talk to

1470
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 8: this person.

1471
01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:57,760
Speaker 3: No, you can eventually talk to them. Just stay out

1472
01:08:57,800 --> 01:08:58,599
Speaker 3: there on the golf course.

1473
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 8: I mean you'll eventually have that time to where you've

1474
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 8: been wanting that CEO's time five minutes a coffee or

1475
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:07,599
Speaker 8: something like that, but you can actually have five hours

1476
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:08,360
Speaker 8: of their time.

1477
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 3: If you know how to play golf, you'll be good.

1478
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 9: Like Angie says, just keep up with the pace, keep

1479
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,760
Speaker 9: up with the PAC's that's right. I mean I was

1480
01:09:17,800 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 9: recently planning in this event on the next cup where

1481
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 9: I met Tiger woods at and I'm in the cart

1482
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 9: when it was my partner and last same Assizio and

1483
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,720
Speaker 9: he is he's like a partner at or runs the

1484
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:34,439
Speaker 9: US for Mazuho Bank. I'm not sure you ever heard

1485
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 9: of Missouo bank, but I hadn't, right, and so I'm

1486
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:40,599
Speaker 9: asking an inquisitive question like, oh, how much is under management?

1487
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:41,120
Speaker 3: You know what I mean?

1488
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 9: He used a number I never even heard anyone use.

1489
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:48,040
Speaker 9: He's out their mouth. He said two trillion dollars. I

1490
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 9: was just like, oh, okay. So I'm sitting on a

1491
01:09:50,880 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 9: cart with a guy that's like top level at a bank,

1492
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 9: a global bank.

1493
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 3: It's based in Japan called Mazuo.

1494
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,320
Speaker 9: And they managed to billion dollars like they lend to

1495
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 9: like eighteen and t like all these big fortune five

1496
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 9: hundred companies like they do the lending to them, and

1497
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 9: so it wasn't like they automatically did our lending, right,

1498
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,000
Speaker 9: That's not what I'm trying to say. But that's a

1499
01:10:13,080 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 9: relationship there, right, that if we do need to or

1500
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 9: if it does make business sense, that you can kind

1501
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:20,599
Speaker 9: of grow and develop. So it's never a thing where

1502
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,240
Speaker 9: it's like an instant, Oh, you go to the golf course,

1503
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 9: it's going to immediately mean that you get something, because

1504
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 9: then it becomes like very transactional. But it's like the

1505
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:31,960
Speaker 9: people that you meet, the opportunity, the time you get

1506
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 9: to spend with them, you know, cause I hear you

1507
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 9: talk about all the time. It's relationships. One thing we

1508
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 9: talk about here is it's relationships. So being able to

1509
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 9: again nurture those relationships and getting to spend quality time

1510
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,400
Speaker 9: with busy people is golf.

1511
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 3: It's a cheat code.

1512
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:54,120
Speaker 5: So how do you see the future of golf, because

1513
01:10:54,120 --> 01:10:56,720
Speaker 5: you know, we have top golf, which has become very popular. Yes,

1514
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 5: we see like a lot of hybrids of different sports

1515
01:10:59,120 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 5: that's taking place. We just had Rich Climb in here

1516
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 5: and he was talking about lacrosse, like the street ball

1517
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 5: across going. So golf is a sport that it's still

1518
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:15,479
Speaker 5: a time consuming sport, yep. And we live in a

1519
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 5: culture that really appreciates things that's fast paced. So do

1520
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:24,639
Speaker 5: you see like a hybrid faster paced type mini miniature golf?

1521
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 5: Adam Sandler on the type thing happening potentially in the future.

1522
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 5: I mean, like I said, top golf is actually like that.

1523
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 5: It's a billion a driving range like of sorts. But

1524
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:37,719
Speaker 5: do you see a world with extreme golf?

1525
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:39,799
Speaker 3: I don't know, if you get extreme.

1526
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 9: They got this thing coming out top of the year

1527
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:45,879
Speaker 9: called Tomorrow Golf League where it's literally played in an arena,

1528
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 9: so you're gonna hit into a simulator and then when

1529
01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 9: you get to a certain yardage, you actually hit a

1530
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 9: real shot.

1531
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 3: And so they built this arena from the ground up.

1532
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:58,679
Speaker 3: You got Tiger Woods. Sounds like yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1533
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:02,719
Speaker 8: Well but it's so I mean, it's so technology savvy,

1534
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 8: like I heard, yeah, well so yes, but then they

1535
01:12:06,840 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 8: have it to where the green can change elevations and

1536
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:13,080
Speaker 8: like so under the under the turf, like you have

1537
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 8: this machine that makes it into the shape shifting type

1538
01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 8: of place to where it changes into a different hole

1539
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 8: every time you play it.

1540
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:22,840
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying.

1541
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 8: You just I mean it might only be like I think,

1542
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 8: one hundred and fifty yards, but you're gonna hit your

1543
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,599
Speaker 8: first shot the hole might be five hundred yards, gonna

1544
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 8: get your first shot into a actual simulator. Then when

1545
01:12:33,880 --> 01:12:35,640
Speaker 8: you get one hundred and fifty yards in, that's when

1546
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 8: you'll hit your real shot. But it changes and makeshifts

1547
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 8: every time when you get down to one hundred and

1548
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:41,719
Speaker 8: fifty yards.

1549
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:44,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I mean, it's it's happening now, like you

1550
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 3: got that happening now. And then I think I think

1551
01:12:47,479 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 3: where it is headed.

1552
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:51,640
Speaker 9: Though, is you're the culture is headed for golf right,

1553
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:54,880
Speaker 9: like and that's clear, and so I think you'll you're

1554
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 9: gonna see. I think one of the biggest things I

1555
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 9: think we'll see too is like the dress code really

1556
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 9: loosening it up over the years, right because like at

1557
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 9: one point in time, like for the PGA Tour, you

1558
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:10,479
Speaker 9: could not wear shorts, like you had to wear pants period, period,

1559
01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:13,439
Speaker 9: and you still have to wear pants, I believe in

1560
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 9: the tournament you could just wear shorts during the practice round.

1561
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,720
Speaker 3: Now, so it's starting to like really loosen up.

1562
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 9: You're starting to have, you know, folks playing a little

1563
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 9: bit more music now, that sort of thing that's always

1564
01:13:23,200 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 9: kind of been like a little taboo ish, like don't

1565
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 9: play your music, don't play loud. So it's evolving. I

1566
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 9: think you're gonna need a sport. You need that one

1567
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 9: athlete that just comes in and that's just unapologetic and

1568
01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 9: he's just that nice that can really move the needle,

1569
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 9: you know what I mean, because like you gotta understand too,

1570
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,679
Speaker 9: man like shout out to Tiger Woods, because he brought

1571
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 9: that level of intensity, Like remember everybody was doing this.

1572
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 3: He was out there like fist pumping like that was

1573
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:53,759
Speaker 3: his mantra.

1574
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 9: And people didn't really like that like that wasn't you know,

1575
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 9: a thing that everyone was just like, oh great, Tiger,

1576
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 9: would you fist pumping and excited and showing emotion. That

1577
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 9: wasn't something that you know, we were ever, I know

1578
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:10,640
Speaker 9: for me specifically, and I think we taught to be

1579
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 9: like you were trained not to be emotional, like you're

1580
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:18,560
Speaker 9: trained to be like very like stoic, like focused. I'm like, like,

1581
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:20,720
Speaker 9: you know, I'm thinking like a ninja type vibe, like

1582
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 9: a zen es, you know what I mean. Tiger was

1583
01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 9: someone that really came out there and just poured his

1584
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 9: emotions out and they were you could see that, and

1585
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 9: that's what we could, you know, relate to. You know

1586
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:34,639
Speaker 9: what I mean, We used to people getting upset.

1587
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:35,840
Speaker 3: That's real.

1588
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:43,200

Speaker 8: crowd that I've ever spoken in front of. You know,

1602
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:16,799
Speaker 8: we were on the Fidelity stage with Corey and Sarah

1603
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,720
Speaker 8: over there, and I mean we got to tell our

1604
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:22,920

Speaker 8: it was so many of course, so many people in

1607
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 8: the room that looked like us, and just so many

1608
01:15:31,360 --> 01:15:34,840
Speaker 8: diverse people that were just looking for honestly, sometimes looking

1609
01:15:34,880 --> 01:15:37,040
Speaker 8: for guidance or a different way of thinking about things,

1610
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,640
Speaker 8: you know, and just looking for that push, you know,

1611
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 8: So for them to look to us and for us

1612
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:45,760

Speaker 8: to work within a company, work within a conglomerate that

1617
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 8: can push forward and be seen as something.

1618
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:03,520
Speaker 3: That is successful.

1619
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,720

Speaker 3: wasn't about us.

1626
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,800

Speaker 9: more time because it is hitting off what you said.

1805
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:51,360
Speaker 9: It was something like if y'all could work it out

1806
01:24:51,400 --> 01:24:53,240
Speaker 9: when y'all had nothing, you know what I mean?

1807
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure.

1808
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:55,559
Speaker 5: Then there's no reason why you should break up when

1809
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:58,599
Speaker 5: you have everything. That's a fact. Facts, that's the fact.

1810
01:24:59,160 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 3: So team makes the dream work is keep the band together.

1811
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 5: That's like every time I see Jimmy shout to Jim Jones,

1812
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,080
Speaker 5: but every time I see Jim say the same thing,

1813
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 5: like you make sure you stay together. You know, you

1814
01:25:12,479 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 5: learn from other people's mistakes. And I'm sure that you

1815
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:16,679
Speaker 5: know that. Dip said that's that's one of my favorite

1816
01:25:16,680 --> 01:25:18,760
Speaker 5: bibs of all time. So it's like, you know, I

1817
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:20,840
Speaker 5: don't know exactly what he means by that, but I'm

1818
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 5: assuming you know, no, it would be better if they

1819
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 5: would have still together. Ye, Like you know what I'm saying.

1820
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 5: It's like ego, pride, different things that different. But it's

1821
01:25:29,040 --> 01:25:31,559
Speaker 5: like looking back on it, how you feel in the moment,

1822
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 5: it's not always how you're going to feel later on.

1823
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,880
Speaker 5: It's like a relationship. You might say things like damn,

1824
01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:40,360
Speaker 5: I didn't really it wasn't that serious. Yeah yeah, yeah,

1825
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 5: like I ain't mean it in my marriage over right, right,

1826
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:48,679
Speaker 5: always keep the band together, man together, and that's important

1827
01:25:48,840 --> 01:25:49,160
Speaker 5: doing that.

1828
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:51,439
Speaker 9: And we again we look up to y'all, right, like

1829
01:25:51,600 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 9: y'all are an example of keeping the band together, and

1830
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 9: you know what I mean, we want to continue to

1831
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:56,759
Speaker 9: be that example.

1832
01:25:56,840 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 5: But so what's your because people asks us that all

1833
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 5: the time, like how do y'all deal with challenges? How

1834
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 5: do I deal with disagreements? How do you deal with issues?

1835
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 5: Like how do y'all deal with issues? To make sure

1836
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:09,439
Speaker 5: that you know it's still a united front? Yeah, I mean,

1837
01:26:09,760 --> 01:26:11,360
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, we trust each other.

1838
01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:14,840
Speaker 8: So if there's a question of something where we have

1839
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 8: two different visions or two different ways of looking at it,

1840
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 8: two different answers totally different, will come will come together

1841
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:24,919
Speaker 8: and we'll talk about it. But whoever's the most passionate

1842
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:28,800
Speaker 8: it has the best reason for that question. I mean,

1843
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 8: that's usually the route that we have, that tie breaking system.

1844
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:37,080
Speaker 8: Not really passion, right, passion.

1845
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 9: I think the passion is the time brokah.

1846
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 8: Because it's not about being right at the end of

1847
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:45,560
Speaker 8: the day. At the end of the day, for me,

1848
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 8: if he's right, literally, if he's right one hundred percent

1849
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 8: of the time, then I've done my jobs as choosing

1850
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 8: the right partner, you know what I'm saying, That makes

1851
01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:58,840
Speaker 8: my job easier. I mean, it's not about being right.

1852
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:01,840
Speaker 8: It's about doing the right thing for our business and

1853
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:03,719
Speaker 8: doing the right thing for culture and golf.

1854
01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:05,560
Speaker 9: So and I think, as we say, you got to

1855
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:07,840
Speaker 9: work on the friendship too, right, because we're friends. So

1856
01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 9: it's like setting east and we'll be talking. We'll be like, yo,

1857
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:14,679
Speaker 9: I'm not talking to you as eastside Golf. I'm talking

1858
01:27:14,720 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 9: to you as oh, or I'm talking to you as earl.

1859
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 9: I'm talking to you as your friend. Like what's going on, man,

1860
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:20,479
Speaker 9: how you doing? How's your family?

1861
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:20,680
Speaker 3: Like?

1862
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 9: Cause it can get crazy and all you do is

1863
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 9: talk about the work and talk about the business.

1864
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 3: And it's like that's what attracted us to each other,

1865
01:27:27,520 --> 01:27:28,519
Speaker 3: not the work, not the business.

1866
01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:31,120
Speaker 9: This is my brother, like I remember supporting him. He

1867
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:33,560
Speaker 9: supported me before all of this stuff. So it's like

1868
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:35,920
Speaker 9: to your point, now that we have everything, we don't

1869
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:38,600
Speaker 9: want to lose that, but it is something that you

1870
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:40,479
Speaker 9: do have to work on it. And I would say,

1871
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 9: for me, this is my personality, Like I had to

1872
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 9: learn to express myself, like tell them you.

1873
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying. And it could come middle of

1874
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 3: the night, middle of the morning.

1875
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 9: Sometimes you sleep on it, whatever it may be, and

1876
01:27:50,920 --> 01:27:52,639
Speaker 9: I'll just be like, yo, oh, I got to holler

1877
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:55,600
Speaker 9: at you, I need ten minutes. And then oftentimes I

1878
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 9: learned FaceTime is the best time to do it too,

1879
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 9: because text messages you kind of put your you add

1880
01:28:00,479 --> 01:28:01,240
Speaker 9: your tone to it.

1881
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:03,200
Speaker 3: Somebody can saying you like where you at, and you

1882
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 3: can be like you can read it like where the

1883
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:07,639
Speaker 3: hell you at? And it's like, bro, I'm lost, I'm

1884
01:28:07,640 --> 01:28:12,160
Speaker 3: looking for you. Translation right, it's not that So I'm like,

1885
01:28:12,280 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 3: I don't need to send it in text. The tone

1886
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:16,879
Speaker 3: at least you do FaceTime.

1887
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 9: It's like you're giving that person an undivided attention and

1888
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:22,479
Speaker 9: you can kind of just get it off your chest.

1889
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:25,080
Speaker 9: And I feel like, also for us, like we let

1890
01:28:25,160 --> 01:28:27,479
Speaker 9: the guard down when you tell him like, yo, something

1891
01:28:27,520 --> 01:28:30,439
Speaker 9: bothered me. Like even at CLF he says somebody like, yo, bro,

1892
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:31,280
Speaker 9: I need to hogh at.

1893
01:28:31,160 --> 01:28:32,040
Speaker 3: You like just bothering me.

1894
01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:35,600
Speaker 9: And I'm like, all right, like dope, I appreciate you

1895
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 9: telling me what bothered you, because you're a human. If

1896
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:40,920
Speaker 9: something bothered me, he was like yo, I'm like yo,

1897
01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 9: I don't like this. Or and we had one incident

1898
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:46,479
Speaker 9: one time he was like on the zoom call. This

1899
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:49,599
Speaker 9: had to be three years three and a half year,

1900
01:28:49,640 --> 01:28:51,680
Speaker 9: and we was like not on the same page, and

1901
01:28:51,760 --> 01:28:58,880
Speaker 9: we start like, yes, we ain't that what they say

1902
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:01,719
Speaker 9: we got The thing was we got off the phone,

1903
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 9: was like, bro, we can never do that again. It

1904
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 9: looked terrible. You haven't done of it since we just

1905
01:29:08,200 --> 01:29:10,960
Speaker 9: united in front but on the page. But yeah, it

1906
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 9: is work. It is work because we both get busier, right,

1907
01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:16,760
Speaker 9: Like he's got more things going on. I got more

1908
01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:19,040
Speaker 9: things going on. But at the end of the day,

1909
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:21,920
Speaker 9: it is us coming together. Like we take that time

1910
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:23,800
Speaker 9: and be like, yo, I gotta higher at you.

1911
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 3: What's up?

1912
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:26,160
Speaker 6: What's going on? That?

1913
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:27,000
Speaker 3: That's the story.

1914
01:29:27,040 --> 01:29:29,080
Speaker 4: That's it right there, Like when people ask us that,

1915
01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:31,519
Speaker 4: that's it, Like there's gonna be conversations that we're gonna

1916
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:33,439
Speaker 4: have that the world won't be privy to exactly.

1917
01:29:34,360 --> 01:29:36,040
Speaker 3: It's important. I think that's very important.

1918
01:29:36,040 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 5: People don't know how to deal with each other in

1919
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:39,600
Speaker 5: business because yeah, you know, once again you see a

1920
01:29:39,600 --> 01:29:40,640
Speaker 5: lot of people that break up.

1921
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, and I think too, to your point, it's like

1922
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:46,920
Speaker 9: letting other people get in your ear about like, can't

1923
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:49,759
Speaker 9: nobody tell me about him? We had this one incident

1924
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 9: literally and then I'll swear it's my last thing.

1925
01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:54,519
Speaker 6: You got to say that point again, say that first point.

1926
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:57,599
Speaker 3: Nobody ain't nobody tell me about him, something about him?

1927
01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:59,679
Speaker 6: But I say all the time, right, how you gonna

1928
01:29:59,680 --> 01:29:59,960
Speaker 6: tell me?

1929
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:00,840
Speaker 3: That's my man?

1930
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,519
Speaker 9: Like I know him, you know what I'm saying. So

1931
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:06,560
Speaker 9: one time I was talking to somebody about something. This

1932
01:30:07,320 --> 01:30:11,719
Speaker 9: person went to him and said in misinterpret what I said.

1933
01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:14,560
Speaker 9: The good thing is he comes directly to me and

1934
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:17,320
Speaker 9: was like, Yo, did you say such and such. I'm like, nah,

1935
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:20,040
Speaker 9: I'm like, but we're all still in the room. Let's

1936
01:30:20,040 --> 01:30:22,000
Speaker 9: all get together. And I looked at him right in

1937
01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:24,760
Speaker 9: the eyes and I said, tell me word for word

1938
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 9: what I said to you, up and again and we

1939
01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:31,160
Speaker 9: said that too. It's like, that's why in the sense

1940
01:30:31,240 --> 01:30:34,080
Speaker 9: the band get broken up, where if he internalized it,

1941
01:30:34,200 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 9: because he's just only going off the information that he has.

1942
01:30:36,320 --> 01:30:39,080
Speaker 9: It's not he's beefing with me. He just going off

1943
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:42,080
Speaker 9: what somebody told him. But he was like, nah, I'm

1944
01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:42,800
Speaker 9: gonna go to Earl.

1945
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:44,760
Speaker 3: This bothers me. He was just coming to me like

1946
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 3: this bothers me. Why would you say that. I'm like,

1947
01:30:47,360 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 3: that's not what I said. And then when we had

1948
01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:51,120
Speaker 3: the conversation, it was just like but.

1949
01:30:51,360 --> 01:30:54,000
Speaker 9: Again it was a constant reminder of like there are

1950
01:30:54,120 --> 01:30:58,479
Speaker 9: conversations that him and I will have that nobody even knows,

1951
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:02,160
Speaker 9: even within the end, even with our business, like our company,

1952
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:04,600
Speaker 9: people don't know. Like you're talking to him, it's like

1953
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:06,599
Speaker 9: talking to me and vice versa, like he know what's

1954
01:31:06,600 --> 01:31:07,720
Speaker 9: going on. I know what's going on.

1955
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,600
Speaker 4: And it's always it was like that before there was

01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:12,200
Speaker 4: at East Side. Go you know what I'm saying, Like

1957
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:13,479
