47
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: of scientists, and there's also gaining momentum with me. I

48
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: would approached several years ago about using this for aches. Uh.

49
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,680

Speaker 1: to bringing athletes on board for a potentially brand ambassadors.

51
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: And I've always been hesitant, but to hesitate. My hesitation

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 1: was always based on edgucation. I wasn't educated nothing to

53
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: really understand exactly what's happening and how does this make

54
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: you feel good? And you rubbing it on your skin

55
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: is getting into your you know, there's actually penetrating your

56
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: your your your your skin base and things like that.

57
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: And but but because it's becoming much more knowledge, much

58
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: more I guess to say, normal use, and a lot

59
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: of the I guess, uh scare tactics are being removed

60
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: from the whole principle out there. How people could you know?

61
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: People contended to believe that, you know, you do this

62
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: drug and to do this for you. And it's not

63
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: so much about the drug, it's about natural health care.

64
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: So let's talk about how did you get into this business?

65
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: Right quick? Let's start off right there. Yeah, well, I actually,

66
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: uh was just discovered and decided to get into this business.

67
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: I'm from California, of course I know all about the

68
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: legalities there, and and I had a friend that's actually

69
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: in the business that we started talking about the annefits

70
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: of it. And I ain't exported from my mother who

71
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: has chronic pain. That's where my reports started because it's

72
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: a natural frame reliever and and I wanted her to

73
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: try it. So you mentioned that you used the cream

74
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: that was mixed with like a carrier oil. Well, I

75
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: have the cure oil that you actually put under your

76
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: tongue weight sixty seconds and then swallow and it goes

77
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,960
Speaker 1: directly into the bloodstream. So um, so pain management was

78
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: my interest from get my due diligence and saw all

79
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: those other benefits and of how it can be helpful

80
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: to different people in no matter where you are mine.

81
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of amazing benefits. So we say

82
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: pain management information. UM. It definitely helps with diabetic symptom,

83
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: helps with epiletic seizures and acne. He helps with depression, anxiety,

84
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: and migraines and headaches, and also metabolism. It helps a

85
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: lot of remains are issues that we have naturally. UM.

86
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: The key that people what people get caught up in

87
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: is the fact that they think it's like it will

88
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: get you high quality CBD oil should have the zero

89
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: th hc um and so that it's filtered out so

90
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: that part T sees what is a part of that

91
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: gets you high should not be tbot justice. There's little

92
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: properties that is actually beneficial. Yeah, that was the part

93
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: that that you know that had me. You know again

94
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: all this is uh, I gotta claim ignorance, you know,

95
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: because you you go off of what you heard or

96
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: what's being promoted, and when you see your c D

97
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: c b D, you think about getting high or think

98
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: about weed, you know, anything that's like okay, it's just

99
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: gonna affect me and I am I gonna be am,

100
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: I gonna be addicted to you know, all these sort

101
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: of things I think that you have to deal with.

102
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: So with that being saying, and I know I'm dealing

103
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: with a knowledge of entrepreneur, how did you break through

104
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 1: all that? How did you put you? I had to

105
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: I had to see for myself. You know, I have

106
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,480
Speaker 1: to see studies like ours. If you gotta Urban Goddess

107
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 1: dot com, my website h t R B in Goddens

108
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: dot com. There are hosts of the um studies. And

109
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: I'm a data person. So if you show me that

110
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: it's proven to do so, then I believe it. You know.

111
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: I haven't to see the data though, so you can

112
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: eat just something build good. So I had to see

113
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: that there's definitely was some scientific proof behind it. And

114
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: I used to work in big farm and I went

115
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: from finding the pharmatypicals, and I know why there was

116
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: a push against legalizing it because they would cut that

117
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: those profits that have I personally recently had surgery and

118
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: I I wasn't as far along as I had hoped

119
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: in my recovery, and I already booked myself to walk

120
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: in a fashion show. Someone asked me walk into fashion

Speaker 1: you know it sounds fun and by like a few

123
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: days before and the actually going, I'm like, oh my god,

Speaker 1: have a chair and sit down and walking towards the

126
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: early part of the show with all those things that

127
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: I decided not to take my prescribe medicine. But I

128
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: just did my CBD oil and I did a lse

129
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: in the morning and a dose before I left. I

130
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: was good the whole night. And I could not believe

131
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: I was paying free. So that was just the thing.

132
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: And I was so happy to actually put it on

133

186
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,880

Speaker 1: We're good. We're the same page, the same page because

190
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: because that so I accept your your invitation to have

191
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: that happened and say, and then it goes to reduce

192
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,719
Speaker 1: anxiety and depression one of the things that also can

193
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: alleviate cancer related symptoms um a cancer survivor. So that

194
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: that that that's amazing. It may reduce atne which is

195
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: which is which is amazing. My uh from you talked

196
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: about this epilepsy and multiple growth fetures. Oh my god.

197
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: So the seizures. We partnered with the National Epilepsy Foundation

198
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: because they're that that was the number one the first

199
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: benefit that was discovered. And so kids have been taken

200
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: to be the oil under the radar way before legal

201
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: because and and pediatric about the seizures, they found that

202
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: they had a vast and dramatic reduction, and for that reason,

203
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm like, wow, that's powerful and I and then I

204
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:16,479
Speaker 1: had several friends who UM have had series of depression

205
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 1: and that's really runs ramped rampant in the entrepreneur world. Honestly,

206
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: that's one thing that we don't talk about enough. UM

207
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: And so one of my cohorts have also not been

208
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 1: knowing this beauty space and told me she'd been taking

209
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: it for a while her anxiety and depression and also

210
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 1: helps them in talkia. When I take it at night,

211
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: it keeps me sleep. I have a hard time staying sleep,

212
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: so it helps me stay asleep and get a great

213
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: night rest. So the listens just so goes on and on.

214
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: There's like listen on my website. But I spoken with

215
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: different people as I was launching and realized that people

216
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: were taking it underground for so many years before I

217
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: really over there. And then other other things that anti

218
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: two more effects are diabetic preventions, substance abuse treatment. It

219
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: uh at psychotic effects. It's really disguise the limit. So

220
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 1: we're looking at something that first of all, we're starting

221
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: to investigate from a scientific from the scientific community and

222
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: starting to evolve so many amazing layers of opportunities where

223
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: we can naturally cure ourselves. And we've been resisting because

224
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: of the fact that, oh you're gonna get you might

225
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,640
Speaker 1: get high, you might get addicted. All these all these

226
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: falsehoods that I have been that I've been exposed over

Speaker 1: Grace of God. You know in this business and you

286
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: know that it is the business. I you know, I've

287
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: been fortunate. I started as a stand up commodate, and

288
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: I became a sitcom writer and started producing television, and

289

290

Speaker 1: levels of income, being able to have multi hats. Talk

291
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: about that whole process a little bit about being able

292
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: to in other words, you know, you can come in

293
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: wanting to be an actor. You can come and wanted

294
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: to be a singer, but you have to be ready

295
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: for the opportunity. I agree with you. You have to

296
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: be ready, but you have to be flexible because the

297
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: business that we're in, the entertainment industry is completely subjective.

298
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: There is no clear cut, black and white lines on

299
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 1: right or wrong, or or left or right. It really

300
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 1: is when you walk in the room, how does that

301
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: producer feel today, How does that casting director feel today?

302
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: Did you, by chance where the color they hate the most?

303
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: Does your perfume offend them? I mean, just all kind

304
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: of stuff before they even get to whether or not

305
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: you have the talent that it takes to actually pull

306
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: off this job. Um, your reputation, more often than not,

307
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: walked into the room before you do. If you are

308
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: known as a troublemaker adza, that's how people are going

309
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: to think of you, and no matter how talented you are,

310
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: you may not get that gig. So I suggested people

311
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: put your attitudes and your egos in check and go

312
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: and do the work and let the work speak for itself.

313
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: When I started out in the industry, I started out

314
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 1: as a singer. I've been singing since I was four.

315
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 1: I started dancing at seven, started acting at eleven. I'm

316
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, so that's what

317
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: I was doing. I was doing theater off and on Broadway.

318
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: I went to the High School of Music and Art,

319
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: So I graduated high school at sixteen, immediately left and

320
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: went to college down at the University of Miami, where

321
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: I continued studying. They ended up developing a degree program

322
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: around me. The musical theater degree program at the University

323
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 1: of Miami was founded on me. I am its founder

324
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: and first graduate because I came into the school not

325
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,919
Speaker 1: wanting to just sing or not wanting to act. I

326
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: wanted to do it all. I wanted to be a

327
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: complete package and have skill in it, not to be

328
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: young and cute and impulsive. And if I knew then that,

329
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 1: I was still gonna be young and cute and impulsing

330
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: at my age. Now I may not have gone to college.

331
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: But that's a whole other Stop. You're not saying you

332
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: wasted years. You did not waste years. Done, you did

333
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: not waste the years. Okay, So I would not let

334
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: you put that out of public. You're fantastic. Keep going,

335
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you. So I wanted to

336
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: know how to recreate what I needed to recreate, take

337
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: after take, show after show, and that was what I

338
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: cultivated there in college. So when I tell people today

339
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: or what do I do to get ahead? And and

340
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: what how come can I get my big break? And said,

341
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: first of all, you have to do your homework. You

342
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: wouldn't allow someone to perform brain surgery on you who

343
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: hasn't studied how to do it and do it well.

344
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: So those of us in the industry who do what

345
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: what we do and who do it well, we make

346
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: it look easy. But please know it is hard work.

347
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: So if you want to be a singer, you got

348
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: to get to work in and get your vocal chops up.

349
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 1: And don't just trust your auntie and uncle when they say,

350
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: oh girl boy, you can say no, can you really sing?

351
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I had a recording contract

352
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: before I got on television. I thought I was gonna

353
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: be a recording artist and singing and dancing on Broadway.

354
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: And uh, that was how I ended up writing the

355
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: theme song for a Different World because the music contractor

356
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: knew me as a singer songwriter, so he hired me

357
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: to work on the theme song. The people who cast

358
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: me to be in the show knew me as an

359
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: actor because I was doing a Broadway show for them

360
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: at at the time, the Cat Dance Kids, So they

361
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: both hired me and did not know that I was

362
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 1: being hired by the two completely different departments until they

363
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: had hired me to do both jobs. And by the

364
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 1: grace of God, I have been able to step by step,

365
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: you know, what I'm saying. You say, so you say

366
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 1: this so normal, you know what I'm saying. You just

367
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: say this so effortlessly. But but but when you talk

368
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 1: about you know, I've been doing this since I was four,

369
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: graduated high school of sixteen, went down the University of Miami.

370
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: You know, I wanted to structure of our life. I

371
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 1: didn't want to just I wanted to. I wanted a career.

372
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: I want to do, take to understand what to take ment.

373
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: And then I was saying, getting these opportunities, let's talk

374
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: about the opportunity because see, in your own since you

375
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: knew what you wanted, I always feel blessed when I

376
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: talked to people who knew what they wanted in their life.

377
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: You know, like when I was sixteen, look at a girl.

378
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: I was trying to figure out who was Sean McDonald was,

379
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: and let alone trying to find out if I could

380
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 1: date somebody. Okay, law knows, I was two years away

381
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: from graduating, okay, and then when I graduate, didn't know

382
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: what It took me seven years again out of college. Okay.

383
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: So you look that the guy was confused, okay, And

384
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: so I'm talking to somebody at a very mature age

385
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: and said this is what I want to do, and

386
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 1: then alone away. It doesn't always work out that way,

387
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: you know, because people like you said, you know, you're

388
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: going forecasting opportunity. You don't know what they want, you know,

389
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: be vibrant. And that's that's really the frustrating part of entertainment. Correct, yes,

390
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,400
Speaker 1: oh it is. It is. And not only do we

391
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: get that put us put on us from the outside,

392
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: but unfortunately we do it to ourselves as entertainers. We

393
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 1: were perpetually as much as we want to create, as

394
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: much as we want to develop things that come from

395
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: the inside out, we're constantly criticizing ourselves. I'm not pretty enough,

396
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: I'm not spinning up. I'm not tall enough, I'm not

397
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: old enough, I'm too young. I mean, these all these

398
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: things that we put on ourselves and make ourselves insecure,

399
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: to make ourselves. Even as much hard work as we

400
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: may put into what what we do, unfortunately, because the

401
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 1: industry is so subjective, we put a lot on that

402
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: on ourselves as well. Quite frankly, and I walked in

403
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: to be a different world audition. I was the only

404
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: person in the room I didn't know right right. I

405
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,679
Speaker 1: saw models, I saw as I've seen on television. I

406
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,919
Speaker 1: saw people who were assized too, with fair skin and

407
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,639
Speaker 1: green eyes and long hair. And I'm like, I know

408
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: everybody in here except me, okay, And that's why. And

409
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: you say that your character was a game changer for

410
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: television for you know, because you weren't a science too,

411
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: You weren't light skinned. You was like somebody in the

412
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: neighborhood that I went to high school with, or somebody

413
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: that I grew up with, looking like when you look

414
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: like my sister, and and you are attractive, you as articularly,

415
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: you have a defined personality, and you are and you are,

416
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: you are a professional and all those things. I feel

417
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: that you know, you're a role model, and you're still

418
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 1: a role model today and so and I'd say that

419
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: because I wanted to. I wanted I asked you project interview,

420
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 1: because I talk about your New Day Foundation because it

421
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: kind of it has those traits of being able to

422
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: talk about empowerment and education for you and under serve communities.

423
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that a little bit. Well, to be

424
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: honest with you, the New Day Foundation, thank you for that. Again.

425
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,439
Speaker 1: I don't want that to go by without me not

426
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: acknowledging that. It's really humbling to know that that was

427
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: the end result of me wanting to do my job

428
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: and me standing for myself and saying, in spite of

429
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: what I may think of myself in this room that

430
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 1: I think I'm the smallest person here. God was able

431
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: to use me to take myself to a different level

432
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: and being example for others who want to take themselves

433
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 1: to a different level. So I am really humbled and

434
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: uh honored to have been a part of a project

435
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: like that that put me in a position to do

436
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 1: that and be that and continue to be that. That's

437
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,719
Speaker 1: thirty two years now and people are still watching that

438
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: show and coming up to me saying, I wanted to

439
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: go school because of you little kids who are ten

440
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 1: and eleven, the little kids in the show I'm doing

441
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: now the seen a turn of musical on Broadfrost. I

442
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: watch your show all the time, Miss Dawn. I'm now

443
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: the storm most Jesus, when did that happen? When did

444
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: I become the older person? But going back to the foundation,

445
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: the New Day Foundation, I formalized that about three years

446
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: ago now, basically to put under a formal five or

447
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 1: one three seed nonprofit umbrella. The work I've been doing

448
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 1: for more than forty years. Um. Ever, since I was

449
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 1: in elementary school, I was a person who, like I said,

450
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: who was inspired, who was supported by my teachers, who

451
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: from different parts of my family, was completely misunderstood. Growing

452
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: up in a very traditionally reliligious family. UH, the entertainment

453
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: industry was Satan's playground, and UH, I was being encouraged

454
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: by my my mom and my tea teachers to basically

455
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: live in that playground. So I was getting really mixed

456
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: mess messages. By one hand, I was being told that

457
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: the gifts that I had were a gift from God

458
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: and I couldn't do it without God's blessing. And on

459
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,199
Speaker 1: the other hand, I was being told that I'm going

460
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: to be sent straight to Hell if I keep entertaining

461
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: the singing and dancing. It was. It was very confusing,

462
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: It was very difficult and emotionally stressful. You know. This

463
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: was when I was eight. This is when I was

464
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: eight when all of this first started manifesting itself. So

465
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: my elementary school teachers, particularly Karen Fogler and Barbara Ames,

466
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: who actually also happened to be lin Manuel Miranda's chie teachers,

467
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: and he credits them also with inspiring him and guiding

468
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: him to be the amazing creative genius that he is today.

469
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: So I just want to give a shout out to

470
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: public school teachers. Thank you for investing in your kids.

471
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: We hear you, we receive you, and you continue to

472
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: make a difference in our lives because of them. I

473
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: would go like into junior high school and come back

474
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: to my elementary school and visit them, and while I

475
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 1: was there, talked to the kids in the class and say,

476
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: this is what junior high school is like. I used

477
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: to be in this class. You have to listen to

478
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: your teachers. Don't you afraid of bullies? Tell somebody I

479
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: used to get bullied as as a kid, just for

480
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 1: having good grades, just for wanting to do something with

481
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 1: my life. People would just beat you up and jack

482
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: you for your lunch money, etcetera, all kinds of things.

483
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 1: So gratefully I listened to the positive voices more than

484
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: I listened to the negative voices. So while things may

485
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: sound like they just roll off my tongue and come

486
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: easily to me, or have come easily, that is that

487
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 1: couldn't be further from the truth. And that's when I

488
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: went to high school. I'm sorry, and that's the basis

489
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: of the of the of the foundation. Right to the

523
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Good. I'm happy to be here and and

524
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: I want to know if I could, if I could

525
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: piggy back on what you were saying about, you know,

526
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: if you have a plan that you can make it.

527
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: Am I allowed to do that? Or do me? Now?

528
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: It just show us about to do your thing. I

529
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: just want to say something. You know, uh, you know. Look,

530
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: one of the other things that really inhibits people, I believe,

531
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: from actually realizing their dreams is simply they have this

532
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: preconceived notion of what the process should be like. So

533
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: what that means is they think from what they take

534
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: things to face value, that they take the success they

535
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 1: see your face value, and then so they go into it.

536
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: And I don't care if you're just selling jewelry, making

537
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: YouTube videos, or running a fortune five hundred company. The

538
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: bottom line is is that people are doing a lot

539
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: of additional work beyond what you're seeing and you know

540
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: at face value. So in other words, there's so much

541
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: extra work that goes on behind the scenes. And I

542
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: don't don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about paying dudes.

543
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: Yes there's paying dudes, but there's also simple strategies and

544
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: techniques that we need mentors and we need non provental

545
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: care in adults to inform usel because we hadn't walked

546
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: that path. And it's those little bits of insight that

547
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 1: saved us so much time. I wish I had known

548
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: that when I was younger. I cast to be a

549
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: lot further the head of my own life. That's all.

550
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 1: But is that part of the growing process process to

551
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: you know, cause I always go back and I always

552
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: tell people what you learn in your twenties, it's really

553
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 1: what the structure of what you're going to be successful

554
00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: in your forties and your fifties, because that's when you're

555
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: fear That's when you had the dreams and if anybody

556
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: told you a question, you you tended to ignore that.

557
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: But as you got older, you got into relationships, and

558
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: you start worried about the position you are in life.

559
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: You know, that fear of change, that fear of I bet,

560
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: I bet I've been a hold back on this. So

561
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: the whole back what you say, no, but no, But

562
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: there's some value to that though, because you know something

563
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: real talk. I have to say that there was definitely

564
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 1: a fearlessness, uh, you know, in my youth. But also

565
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: what there was was this uh lack of awareness of self.

566
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: And because of that lack of awareness of self, I

567
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: had these unaddressed issues. So by not knowing myself and

568
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 1: not knowing what I was capable of, I was kind

569
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: of afraid that composed myself, if that makes any sense.

570
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: Very much. A lot of people tell me. Yeah, people say, Yo, well,

571
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm you're so underrated. I'm not underrated, really, I'm just scared.

572
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: So I'm the dude to avoid a lot of the

573
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: avoided a lot of great opportunities simply because I was

574
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: afraid that I would be exposed as not being you're

575
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: good enough. So I actually took I I actually took refuge,

576
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: and I found uh joy in being able to be

577
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: the side dude, being able to be the supporting actor,

578
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: you know, And you know, that was really a biproduct

579
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: of just like deeper insecurity that hadn't been addressed. So

580
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, we have a fair defensive

581
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: with kids, but there's a subconscious thing as well where

582
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 1: maybe we've been convinced by you know, by our environment

583
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: that we're not worthy. Not saying that it's true, we've

584
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: just been convinced of it. And so I think sometimes

585
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of value in northern in Northern American countries,

586
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 1: we tend to overlook, uh, the need to resolve those

587
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 1: issues as we pursue success. You know, it's not just

588
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: about willpowers. There is a resolve. Most of the wealthy

589
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: people that helped me make my movies that helped me

590
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,719
Speaker 1: make my money. They have all had to put themselves

591
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: in that vulnerable position of getting to know themselves better.

592
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: Because on the on the movie Prison logic, there was

593
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: you did when you came on the show last time?

594
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 1: That was a crowdfunded movie. Correct, it was a cloud

595
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: funded movie. Now here was strategy on that. This is

596
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: the prime example of what I'm saying about getting to

597
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,640
Speaker 1: know the ins and outs of something. I uh did

598
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: so much research on cloud funding, had no idea that

599
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: it wasn't just about you know, starting up and asking

600
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: your fans and money. There was so much strategy and

601
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: to be quite frank, like that cloud funding game is

602
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: shady as hell, and you you would not believe it,

603
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: all the all the skulls that we could go on

604
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: behind the scenes and being able to learn and understand that.

605
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 1: But what I did was I used the cloud funding

606
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: campaign to attract investors. So here's the prime example of

607
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: a strategy you might not know. You never asked for

608
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: a hundred percent of what you want when you're running

609
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: a cloud funding campaign, always asked about because statistically, a

610
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: successful cloud funding campaign will be funded on average between

611
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 1: two hundred to a thousand percent of asking. So that

612
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: means that if you're asking for a hundred thousand and

613
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: your campaign is successful, your guarantee to make somewhere between

614
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: two hundred thousand and a million. You get what I'm saying. So,

615
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: so the my math, my be uf there you saw.

616
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: I got a little secure when I saw that, calculating

617
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:09,479
Speaker 1: the point. You are comedian. You're all comedians, right, um so,

618
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: so anyway, so what I did was I made the

619
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: crowd funding campaign successful by asking for half of what

620
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: I wanted, and then went to investors show the infestive, look,

621
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: this campaign is hot, and people like to see your

622
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: train this role. And like my manager told me, sometimes

623
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: you gotta start your party and then sending out the invitations.

624
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what I did. I used the

625
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 1: campaign to attract infestors by making the campaign look like

626
00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: you had a huge following and a lot of people

627
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: that were back in it. That inspired and motivated the investors,

628
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: and so we ended up doing that. Um I made

629
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: the movie. I saw the winning stuff at all these

630
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: different festivals, and I didn't even listen. I wasn't in

631
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: sun Dance and all those festivals. I was actually in

632
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: the festivals that were hosted in places where people had

633
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: given me money, and I said, we're gonna submit to

634
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: them festivals. We went to them festivals. We was winning

635
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: Best Lead Audience Audience Awards that edited the Death music lesson.

636
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: Right then James little Pas from Will Packers Company saw

637
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: that I loved it, took it to Will Packer. They

638
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: called me, like eleven o'clock at night, you wanted to

639
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 1: talk about it. I got on the phone with In fact,

Speaker 1: the phone with him, I thought they was plunking me.

645
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: I really thought it was Will because they found so

646

670
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,800
Speaker 1: like yes. So let me tell something. I felt insecure

671
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:33,479
Speaker 1: making the whole movie where he cast a Niqua Martin Green,

672
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: he cast the uncle these people showed up so on,

673
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: so on, another level of prepared and funny, and they

674
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,960
Speaker 1: forced me to tap into something in myself that I

675
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: didn't even know I had. And I kept going to

676
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: him every other scene and being like, are you sure?

677
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 1: Because I'm sure? Because you're not sure, He says, You're

678
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 1: not supposed to feel comfortable here. You're supposed to be

679
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: being stretching. That's what happened. So here, what happened. I

680
00:35:56,600 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: So we make the movie. I go away, I come back.

681
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 1: So I have to do a b R. So I

682
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,399
Speaker 1: have to do a b R like maybe like four

683
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: months later. And that's what you kind of put your

684
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: your match. You have to fix some dialogue that didn't

685
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: go right in the movie. And I get to see

686
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: about fifteen minutes of this movie. Oh my god, I

687
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,200

699
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,759

Speaker 1: you know, uh, put a band aid over the hurt

701
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:56,680

833
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,000

834
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm feeling hongry. I think it's definitely something that we

835
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: prayed about Um, we never in a million years did

836
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: we imagine that it would be to this extent. But

837
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: every day of the journey, we take it one day

838
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: at a time, and one day at the time means

839
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 1: what because your business, because you expanding. We're gonna talk

840
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 1: about that later. Expanding the business. I'm sure people just

841
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: dropping all these ideas about franchise and gere y'all could

842
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 1: be the next such and such, And you have to

843
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: take that in stride because the fact that, like I said,

844
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 1: what were you when I was at the livestop? What

845
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,280
Speaker 1: were you have before before I was at the livestop?

846
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: And so but before that, my husband had a repo company.

847
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: He was reporing r V trailers and I myself was

848
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: a junior project manager for a litigation firms. So neither

849
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:06,040
Speaker 1: one of us had culinary background or culinary experience. Um,

850
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 1: you know, was something that that happened he had, We

851
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 1: had the idea. We were just point to you know,

852
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 1: with the rodeo. We were shuttling people into the rodeo.

853
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: So food wasn't even our main focus at that point

854
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,919
Speaker 1: in time. Um, and our main focus was shuttling people

855
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: into the rodeo. We just had a barbecue pit on

856
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: the field, in the field where we were shuttling the people,

857
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 1: and we had turkey legs, boot and sausage on a stick.

858
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: And you know, we came up with the idea that

859
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 1: we were just going to feed people while they were

860
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: waiting to go inside at the rodeo. And my husband, he,

861
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, his thing was just repost for us social media,

862
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: social media. Everything is social social media. We post for us,

863
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,319
Speaker 1: let's see what happens, and it just snowball from there.

864
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: So the fact that he had the foresight and understand

865
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: the value of social media and you got the these

866
00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: giant pizzas and you know yourself because will you say

867
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: your clienteles African American? Yes, okay, cool, I want just

868
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 1: before I make the stake because black people like value

869
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: for their money. Okay, so correct, you see you see

870
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,120
Speaker 1: this giant I'm telling you so that giant turkey leg

871
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,880
Speaker 1: And then like any any restaurant you I can say this,

872
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: and black people they can they can confront me on this.

873
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,880
Speaker 1: But if you if you take a black pot to

874
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: the restaurant when they can go home with a doggy bag,

875
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: you got them as a customer. You do you do

876
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: and we made That's one of the things that we've

877
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: always made sure that you know our price points. It

878
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: may not be for everyone, but people pay for what

879
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: it is that they want and we make sure that

880
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: you get the value as well. So you're paying. But

Speaker 1: you also, I mean, all of our plates are sharable.

882
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: We give you a lot of foods, a lot of

883
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 1: food you sure do so, so you understood that, you know,

884
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 1: and I would tell you that. Just let's talk about

885
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: the basic turkey leg. Okay, I've I've tried to man up.

886
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: I've been at Disney, I've been an amusement park and

890
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,879
Speaker 1: has beating your board back. Okay, I'm looking about trying

891
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: to hand this off to somebody because you know, when

892
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: you're walking to our amusement park, you got the turkey la.

893
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: You gotta do something with it because you're not eating anymore. Okay,

894
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,399
Speaker 1: So you go in the restaurant and then y'all, I'm

895
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: gonna saying, call y'all crazy because y'all not all stuffed it. Yeah,

896
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 1: it's a crazy people thinking like that. You're crazy. People

897
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: are geniuses. Okay, it's a genius about this whole thing.

898
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 1: That they took a basic piece of meat, that is

899
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: that it's impossible for a normal person to eat. Then

900
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna go just the crazy part. We're gonna put

901
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: something else in there, extra stuff, extra stuff, and then

902
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 1: so so that's the part. Now, when y'all was I

903
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: was shuttling people in, you didn't have the stuff part

904
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:56,919
Speaker 1: of the campaign yet. Correct. Okay, when did that craziness developed? Kill?

905
00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 1: When who thought that this? Lan? Or was it you

906
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:03,439
Speaker 1: who on that? I have to give credit? What credit

910
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,279
Speaker 1: he knows the value of extra. Cause see I used

911
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 1: to when I when I was when I was living

912
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 1: in Houston, I used to onload trucks and the food

913

00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: one of he's one of the people you should put

917
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: food on the plate. He don't care if it touches.

918
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 1: Some people don't like that. And I'm that person that

919
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: doesn't like that. I'm saying, but he don't care. It's

920
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,480
Speaker 1: all going down one one pipe. That's the same thing.

921
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: He liked me. He like. So what they have done,

922
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: these crazy this crazy couple. You know what I'm saying

923
00:48:56,320 --> 00:49:00,320
Speaker 1: that this amazing restaurant called the Turkey Leg Hut Houston,

924
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 1: Texas have said, look, we got this big old waste

925
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: of meat, We're gonna jazz it up. Now, what was

926
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 1: the first thing? What was the first jazz that you

927
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: added to the beat? There? The first jazz that we

928
00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: added was the dirty rice. I was the first, Yes,

929
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:24,040
Speaker 1: they knew exactly. And then thereafter we had the shrimp in.

930
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: Now Alfredo saw see they went jazzy right there had

931
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 1: to be a little higher than normal though that you

932
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: just don't add shrimp on a turkey leg and just

933
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: keep it normal for you. Now, see dirty rights, you

934
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: can keep that reasonable right there. But that you gotta

935
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,919
Speaker 1: have to see the thing about just I love about

936
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about it because see when people come

937
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: in the restaurants like that, you gotta have a price point.

938
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,279
Speaker 1: I learned that from Thorn Concerts. Everybody. Everybody don't want

939
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: to buy the twenty dollar ticket. Some people want to.

940
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: They wanted Pacific one to seventi five dollar ticket because

941
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:01,720
Speaker 1: they think it has more value. So certain client teller

942
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 1: they have they want that high end. This is very true. Yes,

943
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 1: and that's actually our best seller. See I know it's

944
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 1: my phone, and that goes back to people pay for

945
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: what it is that they want. Okay, cool, Now, I

946
00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: don't think I missed this question. What gave you the

947
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: idea to stuff or turkey leg? Like I said, that

948
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 1: was my husband's idea. You know, he we were playing

949
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 1: around with everything. You know how we the the original

950
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: turkey leg, the regular turkey leg. It has stuffing in it,

951
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: but it's it's stuffed with different seasonings, um, different vegetables,

952
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,239
Speaker 1: things that we I mean, you know, things that we've

953
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: incorporated into the turkey leg. So it's not a regular

954
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: turkey leg. It's not a walk around the fair holding

955
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: turkey leg. It's there's a process to how we do

956
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: our turkey legs. And then thereafter, you know, he was

957
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: like you we you know, we always try to challenge

958
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:05,040
Speaker 1: each other slim. If that's what he calls me, slam,

959
00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: I think we should you know, maybe stuffing with dirty rice.

960
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: And I'm like, what dirty right, Yeah, I'm telling you

961
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna work. It's don't work. And I'm like, okay,

962
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: I don't see it, but let's do it. And so

963
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: when we went into the brick and mortar, we stopped

964
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 1: the turkey leg. And just like you know, when I

965
00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: was trying to tell him about the season and and

966
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 1: he told me we didn't need to do it, the

967
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: same thing happened. People came from everywhere to try to

968
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 1: stop circul legs. Now, that's that's really amazing. So so

969
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 1: let's talk about your journey. Okay, before that, you had

970
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: two jobs that were not not not cool and very related.

971
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: That's not what you guys, correct. You had to transportation,

972
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 1: you transporting people back and forth. You decided to feed

973
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,399
Speaker 1: the people. Are you transporting them? Make a little extra

974
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: money on side? That's all. That's just like a little

975
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,440
Speaker 1: bobby stand. You know, We're didn't come out of the

976
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,840
Speaker 1: nightclub at three o'clock in the morning. You always had

977
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: the guy there with the with the hot links, you know,

978
00:51:57,560 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: and they some reason they taste real good at three o'clock,

979
00:51:59,920 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: and on that same hot link, it during the daylight

980
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: don't taste to say, but three o'clock in the morning,

981
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: that hot link was was. And so that's true. The

982
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: whole part about moving towards the brick and more, which

983
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,959
Speaker 1: is the which is the really the the fear part

984
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: of it, the business planning part of it, because you're

985
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 1: about to take a rich because you gotta sign a

986
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 1: lease and you have to have a certain level of

987
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, inventory to say this is going to be successful.

988
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 1: Walk us through that process, because that's what money making

989
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 1: conversation is always about. We have a look about a minute, leyoff.

990
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: We don't I like to wrap that thought up in

991
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:33,840
Speaker 1: the next break, but please start us all about the

992
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:38,279
Speaker 1: whole process of the pricket mortar. So you know, our

993
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: how we started was very unique. It wasn't you know,

994
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:45,840
Speaker 1: the typical you know, we're gonna seek brick and mortar

995
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,720
Speaker 1: and this is what we're gonna do. It was actually

996
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 1: got a phone call from someone that he went to

997
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 1: school with about a location that um didn't have much

998
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: business and with the following that we had garnered while

999
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: we were out there in the fields. It was like, hey,

1000
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: you know you all have a following, would you be

1001
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 1: interested in coming and you know, just checking out the

1002
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: kitchen seeing if this is the place that you all

1003
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 1: want to continue to sell turkey legs and um, and

1004
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: that was it. So we you know, we went over there.

1005
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 1: We didn't know anything about running a restaurant. Everything with

1006
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: us and I think that's why we appreciate it so

1007
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: much more has been trial and error. White people, they

1008
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,479
Speaker 1: were standing a long restaurant life'll do that. That's very true.

1009
00:53:27,680 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: Black people. They very impatient people, very impatient people. It

1010
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: has to be something behind that dope that they're gonna

1011
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 1: keep that place. That's why when somebody cuts in front

1012
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: of him, there's a problem all give doing. If it's

1013
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: if it's uh Steve Harvey, Oh Steve, I don't care.

1014
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: I don't care. No, they don't, they don't, They do

1015
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: not care, and they get upset. Get upset. Now, So
