WEBVTT - KID INK & ASIAH COLLINS - Pizza That Toast! 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:03.560 Hi, I'm Colley Wit. Welcome to Eating while Broken. Today 0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:06.760 we have some pretty amazing guests. We have Kidding and 0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:12.880 his beautiful, lovely, amazing wife Asia, and today what are 0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:15.080 we making? Assie is going to leave this whole episode 0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:21.680 and teach us how to make pizza toast? Today's pizza toast. Typically, 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:25.000 if we're talking about eating while broke in the house, 0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:27.360 you might not have pizza sauce, but you might have 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:31.640 spaghetti sauce that works as well. You'll usually have bread, 0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:36.840 hopefully you know the basics. Cheese. We have some turkey pepperoni, 0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:39.400 which I know isn't typical, but we don't eat pork, 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:44.879 and some jalapeno peppers and those are pickled pickled, But 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:50.159 which is interesting? I mean the sliced ones you get 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:55.680 are pickled, like on top of your nachos. Oh okay, 0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:58.640 j I thought I had to look it's pickled instead 0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:01.680 of fresh. Remind you this. This whole purpose is because 0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.600 obviously I can't order a pizza, so the next best 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:08.400 this is trying to find whatever ingredients you have at 0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:10.680 home to try to make that piece of makes sense. 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:16.160 So first you wash your hands, then you're gonna dress 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:20.399 up your pizza, everyone grabs like, I'll grab one. So 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.240 when was the last time you guys can remember actually 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:27.520 eating a meal like this? She was mentioned earlier. We 0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:29.720 still have to eat like this occasionally on the road 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:38.000 because on the road, out out there, out the country, 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:39.720 sometimes you have to, you know what I'm saying, get 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:43.440 just as creative based on what you have available to you. 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.920 But you find those things and then you mix it 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.120 up and whip it up. A couple of noodles is 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:50.960 one of the you know what I'm saying, still regular 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.600 things on tour, the ramen any type of noodle work. 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:56.960 Everyone's humbled on sore when you're on a road trip 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.960 or you're on the tour bus and your kid dry 0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.400 the year in the middle of nowhere, whatever that gas 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.600 station is that you gotta stop at. Whatever they have 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.920 is what you've got, unless you know what I'm saying, 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.079 you stocked up at the grocery store, which is something 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.480 we learned to do when we would get to cities 0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:15.919 that would have the nice grocery store. Like if you're 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.120 on tour in Europe and you get to you know, 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.600 somewhere like the UK where you think it might be 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.840 a lot more familiar imports than maybe Germany. You stock 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:26.959 up over there, and then when I get to Germany, 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:28.919 hopefully I still got a lot of that stuff left over. 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.800 A whole plan. I feel like this looks real official 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:36.640 it does. I feel like I'm treating it way better 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.120 than I did when I was younger. Obviously I was 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:45.240 probably a little less. Can we add the llapenos after 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.760 we cook? Absolutely? Can you can put it on top. 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:49.480 I'm in a bake mine in. Will you pass me 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:58.360 the little cheese with you being a chef Awesia. Yeah. 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.280 Do you feel like you had a lot of fun 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:04.920 eating while broke? Um? Yes, you know, we did have 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.920 fun eating while broke. We got really creative, Like we 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.799 would go we would take the e BT and go 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.400 to the Baiata and get you know, a bunch of 0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:18.000 produced for cheap and like you know, cheap shrimp like 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.839 the little bay shrimps and imitation crab and make ours 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:26.760 to chat for like all day long. You know, when 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:28.359 I was a school by the time I was out 0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.760 of school and I was living on my home for real, 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:36.280 it was probably a little bit more fast food. So 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.280 my fast food go to wasn't McDonald's. I do eat 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.760 McDonald's from time to time, but it was El Boil 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:47.240 Loco and she was I would live off these BRC burritos. 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:52.200 There are dollars. I would live the mean and they 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:54.760 used to have They don't have them anymore. That's why 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.440 I don't eat Eloil Local anymore. They don't have the 0:03:57.480 --> 0:04:00.440 barbecue black beans they used to have, which were like crack. 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.840 You would get this BRC with barbecue black beads, throw 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:09.040 your sausa and cilantro in there for a dollar. I 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.040 got a whole burrito. I missed out because I didn't 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.160 know it was they were living that good at Elpot Local. 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.719 I was still like getting the burgers and just adding 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:21.559 sauces to the to the regular double cheeseburger that didn't 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.560 come with it, Like yo, can I get extra pickles 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:28.400 and big max sauce and maybe whatever was only ten cents? 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:33.839 Maybe extra your that you could do it your way 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.800 and they didn't charge you extra. No, I would just 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.640 get all of it and still take stuff off. Let 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:39.440 me get to let this on instrumatos, all that stuff 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:40.920 just my burger look crazy, and then be like I 0:04:41.040 --> 0:04:43.520 don't even want that. So you can see the different 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:47.960 worman as is in ours right away looks Brian looks beautiful, 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.520 So I literally copied Brian so like I didn't look 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:57.440 like I'm going to put them directly on the rack. Okay, 0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.719 when did you guys realize that you arrived? Like when 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.599 was that moment where you realized, Okay, I'm no longer 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.760 living like this. Today we're gonna eat I guess lobster 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:12.240 or whatever your favorite expensive meal would be. M M. 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:17.000 I guess in that sense, like when would I have 0:05:17.040 --> 0:05:22.800 felt like that was? I mean, because you have those 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.800 small moments that you think you made it, because there's 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:28.000 always you think you made it, like this is it, 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.360 and then something might not have been all the way there. 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.240 It just wasn't that time. And then timing, you know 0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:35.120 what I'm saying, I switched it up. I guess when 0:05:35.160 --> 0:05:41.240 I felt like there was no maybe turning back or 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:43.159 the you know what I'm saying, face was high, that 0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.680 everything was moving in the right direction. Would probably be 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.839 like my first tour because I got to actually see 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.680 the money ahead. So like working in the meeting, what 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.360 I'm saying, sometimes you're just working, you know what I'm saying. 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.880 It was points where I was doing. I was probably 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:01.359 on my third mixtape, and I wasn't like I was 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.400 a celebrity system and you know what I'm saying, was 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.680 occasionally booking a show We're here every couple of months 0:06:08.760 --> 0:06:11.760 or something like that for something small, just to get 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:13.919 the show off and do it for Brandon. But I 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.000 probably had you know, like three mixtapes in where people 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.479 probably thought I made it. Now, I was still at 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.559 the crib broke section a e B T, living with moms, 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.480 doing the same thing as everybody else, see what I'm saying, 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.600 not really living any different, but I still had to 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:30.120 keep up a energy and image and lifestyle, so I 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:31.400 had to you know what I'm saying. Luckily at that 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.599 time too, I was getting a lot of I was 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:35.200 making just you know what I'm saying. Connection with a 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:37.360 lot of different people was helping sponsor because I wasn't 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:39.880 out being able to go shopping and have stuff for 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:42.559 music videos and stuff, so it would be people giving 0:06:42.560 --> 0:06:44.400 me clothes, and like, you know what I'm saying, the 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:45.760 shout out back in the day was like young and 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.960 reckless and villains and all these different people that I 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:50.479 just knew at the time who were making clothes giving 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.320 me all these brand new things to where I was 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.520 keeping up, but at the same time I didn't really 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.600 have I was still going to the crib, you know 0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.400 what I'm saying, with a couple of dollars in my pocket, 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:01.760 so you know what I'm saying. Those are somethings when 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:03.880 everybody else thought I made it, and I could have 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.680 felt like I made it in a sense of like 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.760 in the game musically and branding myself and getting somewhere. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:12.840 But when I saw that first tour and it was 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.960 like two months and I get how much your show 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.680 is this? Man? I'm sure you ready? So I get 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.320 to just live every day? What do they call it? 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:29.120 What do they call that daily allowance? Right right? Were 0:07:29.200 --> 0:07:30.960 you thinking like I'm gonna save this per dam and 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.960 the check? At that point it was like, you know 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.520 then I was living more so living day by day 0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.960 where it was like, yeah, whatever I got today, it 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:41.560 could go to zero because I gotta show tomorrow. That 0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:43.560 was a moment of feeling like you know what I'm saying, 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:45.880 not having that care and feeling like I made it 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:48.920 because it was like we had no responsibilities to I mean, 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:52.880 we went from going we went from me completely broken 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.320 and having nothing to look after all this money is 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:59.520 pouring in. Do you feel like when you first got 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.840 the money, where are you guys? Let's go shopping by 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:09.360 the nice car? Really? But I don't think it was you. Yeah, 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:14.080 I think it comes as like the beach in the beginning. 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.520 They knew my name at Sacks. Yes, but I didn't 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.640 like to run into the story and like not first 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.760 check the price tag, like if that makes sense. So 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.480 I wasn't in there like Louis don't care how much 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.600 it costs. I was still making a decision like this 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:33.840 one's five. You still do that? But that that wasn't 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.640 like I didn't change in the sense where I was 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.800 just like blow it, but gradually was still we would 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:42.800 blow it in other senses of like what do you 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:45.600 want to do? Whatever you want to do. As you're 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:49.800 in it, you're not conscious to it can slow down maybe, 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:52.599 so then when it slows down, then you have to 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:55.880 sit back and go all right, so this is about 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.280 to come in. How can we make sure that we 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:01.760 don't have to wait until that comes next time? Oh? Yeah, 0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:04.920 you get to like manage a cash fall better because 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.920 you could see it ahead of time. You spend looking. 0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:12.079 It's just natural to spend the money that's on the 0:09:12.120 --> 0:09:14.760 way ready mentally because you see it's on the way, 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:16.880 especially if you didn't have it before, you're like, I 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.000 worked this hard, might as well. Yeah, I still you know, 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:23.240 it's crazy. I never people always saying that I never 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.839 treated myself to something that I worked so hard, Like 0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:30.199 if that makes sense, like you never just gone and 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:33.360 did that that you want to do because you felt 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.559 like because in the first three or four years, I 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:38.559 think I just worked world word work. There wasn't a 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.600 moment where somebody was like, did you should sit down 0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:43.280 and enjoy it? I didn't. I don't think the first 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:48.480 three years I actually enjoyed having everything. It was still 0:09:48.559 --> 0:09:49.839 like all right, we still got to go get some 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:56.000 more keep. Yeah, it's more worker, It's good. Yeah. One 0:09:56.040 --> 0:10:02.120 of the biggest challenges I think is momentum. You know, 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.760 like you try to go into it without having false 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:10.679 expectations and then you catch momentum, you know, for like 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.880 the met spot, for say Smooth Skin Lounge and um, 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:17.200 just trying to keep that momentum going because it's still 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.360 a new business. So you see so much money flowing in, 0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:25.960 but you have employees you have overhead, you have rent, 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.520 you just have all these things. So, you know, just 0:10:28.640 --> 0:10:32.760 trying to keep pushing towards it being big enough to 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.319 where you can really feel like, Okay, I did make it, 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.800 and you don't think when you think about artists, you 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.719 don't really think. And the more I interview people or 0:10:41.760 --> 0:10:44.959 the more entertainers I meet. At first, when I used 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:46.960 to look at entertainers, you just think of them as 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:50.040 this is the face. You don't realize that they're entrepreneurs 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.960 and they're they're making all these decisions on a daily basis. 0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.440 It's not just writing a song or producing a record. 0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:01.800 It's emails look crazy, So times I have to have 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.280 moments and have someone and also it's like a business 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:07.920 partner that I trust and my wife luckily, so it's 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.640 like I have two business partners because I can trust 0:11:10.720 --> 0:11:12.880 that she'll understand, you know, what I'm saying certain things 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:15.280 when I'm locked in on the music. Just because even 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:19.360 just recently, you know, wrapping up this album Alive, I 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:21.840 was locked into the studio and it was so many 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.680 other music business and things that I was getting emails 0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.000 for that my business partner, which I trust him to 0:11:29.080 --> 0:11:31.400 make certain decisions. But if it's like might lean a 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.000 little bit more towards a little some branding or something 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:35.520 personal that I might be like, YEO, why did you 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.800 do that? I felt like that was corny. This is 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:39.240 then that he reached out to my wife and I 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.280 could I can trust her to get that done because 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.559 you have to. I can't think about that and do 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:48.160 the creative music part and think that I'm going to 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.160 give this a hundred percent and not look back on 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:53.400 it later and be like, dang, I missed that, or 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:55.320 I wanted to take that out. I should have turned 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.320 that down because I was trying to do that fast 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:00.840 so I could answer this question, or just my mind 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.160 wasn't So, you guys, it's definitely a you have to 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.600 be a businessman. But you see it the music all 0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:09.520 the time. When people start getting real big at the business, 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:12.120 then the music starts falling back a little bit once 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.000 you get a little bit two hands on. I mean 0:12:14.040 --> 0:12:16.480 we can't get we can't get an album out of Rihanna. 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.520 I mean you're seeing and you start making big money 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.640 other places. That's the exactly she's giving like, once you 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:25.280 start doing this and it's like she's not made a 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.040 quarter billion dollars and I didn't have to stress out. 0:12:29.920 --> 0:12:32.600 I'm busy this, Yeah, I don't, I don't. I don't 0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:35.200 think she's going to go back to uh she eventually 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:39.400 she will. She's busy. I mean you can't. Yeah, you 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:41.120 can't get mad at it. But you can see how 0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:44.080 you know some people, and you see how some people 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.240 are you know, can sell millions and millions of records, 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.880 go diamond and do all these things, but can't handle 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:51.920 the business or can't come out with a clothing line. 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:55.079 I can't because they don't have that. They're not everyone's not, 0:12:55.240 --> 0:13:01.000 for real, some people can do it. For this, it's 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.760 just different everyone. I wish everyone could run like that 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:06.120 because it's hard to keep up with all these different 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:08.680 things and you just got to find your flowing your balance. 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.040 Now I'm curious, and this is going to go to 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:19.320 both of you guys. So Asia, you're, you know, entrepreneur 0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:24.680 behind the scenes mainly correct and then Brian or kidding, 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:28.559 you're in front of the scenes. So do you feel 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:33.559 like one has it easier than the other, because and 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.760 this is a serious question, and this is just playing 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:41.360 devil's advocate, not trying to start a fight. Out a topic. 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:50.359 I think. I don't think that one is necessarily easier 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:53.599 than the other because because I see some of the 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:57.199 stuff that you know, they're just here the conversations, some 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.360 stuff they have to go through. Even with today too, 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:03.559 with how big social media is and how important it 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:08.880 is to your brand, smooth Skins Instagram pages just as 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.679 important as my Instagram page as far as keeping it up, 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.719 making sure that the brand is still just as the 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.319 followers and the video content. Like I see her doing 0:14:18.440 --> 0:14:21.000 just as much video content for her their Instagram as 0:14:21.040 --> 0:14:23.040 it is for mine, and I'd be like Danny to 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:24.720 catch up. He has to teach me how to make 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:28.120 my little video. It's I feel like it's definitely nowadays, 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.040 it's still more of a it's still more of a 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.640 trade where you still gotta be a cool business just 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.960 as much as you gotta be a cool entertainer. It 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:39.360 feels more like you guys, iron sharpens iron. There's a 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.640 little bit of friendly like competitiveness, but not really because 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:47.040 you guys share your insider secrets, right, You're like, well, 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.680 I got this this post and this this is what 0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:52.040 I did too, So it's almost like on the tech side, 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.560 you know, techie's kind of share their codes and then 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:59.160 they build up. Who do you think has cried the 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:04.160 most on the business side, Who do you think have 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:11.080 you actually teared up from business? Business is stressful tears, Yeah, 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.440 when I was first coming up in the game, because 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:17.600 you feel like it's not even tears, you know, sadness, 0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.960 it's tears of like real stress and anger, like you 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:23.200 know why this ain't working and why that's not happening 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.920 the way that I wanted it to happen at the time. 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.000 It's more so the time you start getting fed up 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.720 with time, see, like this isn't doing what I wanted 0:15:30.760 --> 0:15:32.960 to do, and I've been putting so much work and 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.680 effort into this, and you start getting stressed out, and 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:38.280 then you gotta You know what I'm saying, I thought 0:15:38.280 --> 0:15:41.240 about that I'm someone who who can easily, when I 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.520 was younger, easily fight and cry out of anger. So 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.240 you know what I'm saying, it will naturally, I'll naturally 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:48.240 tear up just out of anger. So if I'm in 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:51.240 a fight like when I was younger, don't let the 0:15:51.320 --> 0:15:54.880 crypt don't let the tears fool you. Yeah, don't let 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:56.920 the tears fool you. For sure, and I know, I say, 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.920 you just took a bite. But the first of all, 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:05.520 this is amazing, So now I will I will be 0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:16.120 so good really yourself. Um, I wanted to say, honest, yeah, 0:16:17.080 --> 0:16:20.080 when was the last time you cried over your business? 0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:25.240 And what was it in detail? Mm hmm um, probably 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:31.800 a week ago. But honestly, I'm just very this is 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.080 like my baby, and this is my first business that 0:16:35.280 --> 0:16:39.360 is actually like going. I've tried to do other businesses 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.720 in the past, um, and they didn't work out, you know, 0:16:43.600 --> 0:16:46.800 and a lot of it was just immaturity, you know, 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:51.520 being an experience, and so now it just it gets 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:55.200 frustrating as a mom to the pool, having to pull 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:58.960 away from being with your kids or being here at 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:02.360 your business, you know what I mean. So I grabbed 0:17:02.360 --> 0:17:04.480 all the time. I'm always frustrated. And then me and 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:07.720 my partner are like brother and sisters, so we go 0:17:07.880 --> 0:17:13.280 at it and we do. I can't tell you guys 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.040 how much I appreciate having you both come out and 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:21.480 uh feed us this gourmet dish. I've eaten some pretty 0:17:21.720 --> 0:17:25.120 red dishes on this show, but I was really excited 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.440 to be able to lay out all these options. Everybody 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:33.040 in production was asking what we are making that has 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:37.639 this many ingredients? Do you feel like you've arrived or 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:41.680 do you feel like that pivotal point hasn't arrived yet? 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:47.920 I feel like there are I feel like I'm always becoming, 0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:51.040 first of all, like I'm still becoming. You know, I'm 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:55.080 working on smooth skin and that's going. But we're still beginning. 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:58.280 You know. I still would like to do more branding 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:03.159 with cooking. Um, so it changes, like I think I 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:07.040 had superficial ones in the beginning, like you know, my 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:11.200 first batons he bought me in Paris. You know, like 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:15.480 then you know, you know there's things like you know, 0:18:15.560 --> 0:18:17.960 when we bought our first house, or I got to 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:22.640 be featured in Vogue Pregnant, you know, like I've never 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.200 let's be clear, I've never signed up with any modeling 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:29.200 agency ever, so that for me, know, anything, any work 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.240 I've done modeling or acting, I was doing myself. I 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.760 never joined with an agency. So that was still really 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:39.480 big for me to have that moment. Yeah, my mom 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:48.800 Vogue dot com. So that was nice, But you know, 0:18:49.080 --> 0:18:52.320 those things still I just feel like that's not it 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:56.159 for me. You know, there's still more to come do 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.399 you think that's because the bar is high, or is 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:03.600 it because is playing Devil's advocate? Are you not taking 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:08.280 that moment? And like how Kiddink was saying that he 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:10.920 and I think that's what you were saying, that you 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:12.800 never really got a chance to take it in, but 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:14.879 no one told you to take it in. Keep you 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.639 know what I'm saying, pushing the bar because if you 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:19.959 look at smooth skin, it's open, it's out. You can 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:24.040 show like all these huge milestones. But you're like, well, 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.600 I still you know, And I get it because I 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:28.800 feel like most entrepreneurs feel that way. But I'm wondering, 0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.159 like what the root is. Is it because you're not 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:33.639 taking it in in the moment or is it because 0:19:33.800 --> 0:19:37.280 you keep moving the needle forward? I think from the 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.440 outside looking in to cut off, I think they definitely 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:45.880 in their business. I've had moments where I've seen them 0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.920 stress out or want to accomplish something, and I've been 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:51.959 and I go, but you guys are killing it right now, 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:54.320 killing it. It's cool. But I don't you know what 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:55.879 I'm saying. It's not a bad I guess you know 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:57.800 what I'm saying. Mindset to be in, but it's definitely 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.480 moments where I'd be like you know what, or a 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:05.760 business partner like yo, it's chill out stuff stressing, Like 0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:08.600 the numbers can be different from yesterday. Do you see 0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:10.680 what they looked like all week? Like what I'm saying, 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:13.960 you and think about like the times we're in you 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:15.280 know what I'm saying, Those type of things that you 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.440 have to come into play. But when you want just 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:19.800 to it to be so big or do more, you 0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:22.000 know what I'm saying, it's I can't really help that. 0:20:22.480 --> 0:20:25.880 I'm striving for generational wealth. I think once you feel 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:29.880 like that's why I have to worry. Yeah, I don't 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:32.760 have to worry. It's one thing kids don't have to worry. 0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:34.600 And then I could feel like their kids might not 0:20:34.600 --> 0:20:38.720 have to worry. Is I guess more of a mom? 0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.720 Look what I did. Yeah, you guys are looking for 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.280 that sleep money that we don't have to get up 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:47.840 and chase it everyday. Money I don't actually yeah, yeah, 0:20:48.040 --> 0:20:50.560 I still work for mine. I don't know. I'm still 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:52.760 working from mine too. I don't know what it is. 0:20:53.080 --> 0:20:55.240 You know. Well, No, I'm not gonna say that I'm 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:58.399 not blessed to have certain situations or you know what 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:00.760 I'm saying, the right publishing sit worships where I do 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:03.399 have you know what I'm saying, things that come in 0:21:03.560 --> 0:21:07.480 that I go, oh forgot about? You know what I'm saying, 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:10.680 right things doing things for movies, commercials, whatever the case 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.600 may be. There are there are things that I have 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:16.840 set in stone that will forever collect money. So I 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:20.320 am definitely blessed and appreciate that for sure. But you know, 0:21:20.640 --> 0:21:25.879 and you know I j C no, It's still a 0:21:26.000 --> 0:21:29.320 level that I would like to accomplish mentally. So yeah, 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:32.320 my bar might be set super high than most. But 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:35.720 at the same time, you know, I still won't say 0:21:36.400 --> 0:21:38.440 that at the end of the day, when it's all over, 0:21:38.600 --> 0:21:41.959 that I won't feel like I was successful. But right 0:21:42.000 --> 0:21:44.680 now I still have to not be stagnant with that. 0:21:44.720 --> 0:21:46.680 I gotta want to push for more or I think 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:57.520 it will just go backwards. How many years total have 0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:01.120 you been in the game prior to everybody knowing who 0:22:01.200 --> 0:22:04.760 you are? I know you started as a producer, So 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:09.720 I probably started making music for fun when I was fifteen, like, 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:12.320 thinking like I could make music for other people, Like 0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.360 I think I knew how to make music and play 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:19.840
