51
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: you're and and and that's something special because you always, uh,

52
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 1: our relationship goes over twenty years now and so now

53
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: I was thinking, I was wondering how long you and

54
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: I have known each other. It's been, um, well, I

55
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,359
Speaker 1: came to Access Hollywood in so it was since then absolutely,

56
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: because that's when I first met you. I remember we

57
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: first met and uh, and and was just watching you

58
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 1: and uh, and right now I feel that you know me.

59
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: We would all take a job. But now I feel

60
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: like you're starting to control your narrative and talk to

61
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: us about that. Because there's a journey to all of this.

62
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: There's the points where you don't know who you are.

63
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,119
Speaker 1: I remember when I stopped manager Steve Harbor, I could

64
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: tell you I didn't know who I was. I was

65
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: still cared the title of manager of Steve Harvey, former

66
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: manager Steve Harvey, and that was a burden of understanding

67
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: what I could do or what people expected from me.

68
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: And so and you was award winning television host for

69
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: a long time, tied to a television series. How are

70
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: we able to develop the brand of Sean Robinson? Well,

71
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: thank you so much for saying that. And you know

72
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: about the journey of being connected to UM, Yeah, something

73
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: that is so big, and may be concerned about stepping

74
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: out of that UM and wondering who you are away

75
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: from what people knew you was doing, and so I

76
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: saw so listen. I'm grateful for the sixteen years that

77
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: I was at Access Hollywood, and I felt that I

78
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: achieved a lot. I came there before social media before Twitter, Facebook, Instagram,

79
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: all that, you know, and it was a time when uh,

80
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: entertainment shows like that, we're really in its heyday because

81
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: if let's say, if Beyonce wanted to talk about her album,

82
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 1: she would come to and Access Hollywood and get the

83
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: word out. Now, all she has to do is tweet

84
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: it and then you know, she's selling a hundred million copies.

85
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: So it's different today, and so I'm thankful that I

86
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: was at this entertainment show during a time when it

87
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: was like, you know, much different than now. I mean,

88
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: now you have a lot of different outlets, a lot

89
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: of different shows, podcasts, all of that, which is great. Um,

90
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: and so the world, the universe has definitely expanded. But

91
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: I remember when I was at Access Hollywood for many

92
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: many years and I was just kind of getting burnt

93
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: out and just was like what is next, but afraid

94
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: to separate myself from that entity. And I remember I

95
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: went to see a life coach Rashan, and she said

96
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: she took out a piece of paper, she had a

97
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: pencil on her hand, and she put it a gigantic

98
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: circle on the piece of paper and she said, sean world,

99
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: Access Hollywood, It's like a little tiny dot in the

100
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: whole world. And I remember that because I was like,

101
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: there are so many more things that I could be doing.

102
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: And when I did leave, there are a lot of

103
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: people saying, Okay, what are you gonna do now? How

104
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: do you know? I wish I could leave my job,

105
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: but I'm afraid I don't know what there is for

106
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,119
Speaker 1: me on the other side of this. And I say

107
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 1: to everyone, you are in control of your destiny, and

108
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: your destiny doesn't look like what anybody else thinks. It

109
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: looks like, it looks like what you think it looks like.

110
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: And I was just having a conversation with a girlfriend

111
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: of mine. She was interviewing me at a conference. She said,

112
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: you know you would reach the brass ring and what

113
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: was on the other side of that. I was like, well,

114
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 1: brass ring, I'd be a brass ring and somebody else's

115
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: book or it may have been a brass ring at

116
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: one time, but the brass ring for me now is

117
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: controlling my own destiny and writing my own stories and

118
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: having a boy as in the types of shows that

119
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: I produced and host so UM. And it's so interesting

120
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: because when I started UM the year after I left

121
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: Access Hollywood, Uh, left in two thousand and fifteen, my

122
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: father just passed away. It was just a really uh

123
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: it was a really tough time for me, and a

124
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: time when I said, oh, okay, okay, times of Chicken.

125
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: You know, life is short. Got to get out here

126
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 1: and just see what I can make happen. And um,

127
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: ninety day TLC had reached out to me about hosting

128
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: this tell all reunion show for ninety Day Fiance, and

129
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: I was like, nine Day Fiance, what's that right? So

130
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: they sent me some clips and I was like, okay.

131
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: I said, this will probably last like maybe one season

132
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: or something, and I'll do the tell all and maybe

133
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: do one more. I said, will probably be canceled after that.

134
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: And here, okay, now we're you know, many not that

135
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: long later. To tell All that I host is consistently

136
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: the number one show in cable on the nights that

Speaker 1: um during the pandemic when everything was virtual. Everything everybody

141
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: was going virtual, and I remember the verse first virtual

142
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: tell all that we had to do and I was like,

143
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna watch this. It's all on you know, all

144
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,520

149
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: And here it was me taking like just think, not

150
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: knowing this door was going to open right to all

151
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: of these other shows and all of these other possibilities,

179
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,200

00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot more to report, like when they're parched

181
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 1: or windy conditions out there, You've gotta be extra careful

182
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: with things like burning yard wadge. After all, wildfires can

183
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: start anywhere, even in your neck of the woods. Go

326
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: all the noise over there in their room. But it's

327
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: a it's a fun show because you know, you get

328
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 1: to see the you know, like like Terek, uh, you know,

329
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: poor poor poorl Dean when he talked about his brothers

330
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: so bad, talking about he a fifty year old rapper,

331
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: you know, I know, and you know what the conversation

332
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: between Terek and Dean. At first they were so close,

333
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: but then there was some brotherly rivalry going on there

334
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: and then they you know, separated, they didn't talk to

335
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: each other. So you know, having you know, having both

336
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: of them, one in the studio the other fun video,

337
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: and they were going at it, going at it, and

338
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: you were like, you were hoping that these brothers could

339
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,199
Speaker 1: mend fences. But that was a really supertense moment on

340
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: bears off and then and that's what you're talking about.

341
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: And if you're talking they crossed shows in there because

342
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: they fell out on Pillow Talk, right right exactly. Pillow Talk. Yeah.

343
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: So Pillow Talk is another spinoff of ninety Day where

344
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,479
Speaker 1: people from the ninety day universe. It could be like

345
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: Trek and Dean brothers, or it could be a husband,

346
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: wife or boyfriend girlfriend. They sit in the bed and

347
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: they watch the show and they give their opinion about

348
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: the show. Like every time something happens, like if David

349
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: and Annie where to go in the sex shop, one

350
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: of them might shout out, oh my god, I can't

351
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: believe they're in the sex shop or whatever. You know,

352
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: they will say, well, the you know, if you if

353
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: you saw the conversation, you know, Terek's version was that

354
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:03,199
Speaker 1: Dean was pellous of him. Okay, he was jealous of

355
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: the attention that he was getting. Dean's version is that

356
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: to Reek would steal some of his lines that he

357
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: during Pillow Talk. And so something happened after that last

358
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: taping of Pillow Talk and they just completely fell out.

359
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: So it was it was bad, and so we brought

360
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: the brothers together on Bears all and they were hashing

361
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: it out, you know, hopefully they can come back together.

362
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: And then another brother joined in the conversation and that

363
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: was more drama because that was kind of like they

364
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: crossed episodes. Yes, well yes, because they were on um

365
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: I think it was. They were on ninety Day, to

366
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 1: Read and Hazel were on ninety Day, then on Pillow

367
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: Talk and then they were on Bears also. Yeah, so

368
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: is We bring together everybody and you will see different

369
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: matchups on bears All. You will see people from different

370
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 1: shows come on bears All for the first time. So

371
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: that's what's fun about it, bringing people together that you

372
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 1: don't expect to see together. We have some things out.

393
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 1: show that makes me funny when you bring in the

394
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,640
Speaker 1: translators because you have the angry pe and you see

395
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: the words, you know, just translated undeath them, you know,

396
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 1: and then the translator has to translate it, and then

397
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: they have to and then they don't translate it all correctly.

398
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: Then you got the angry, non communicating person trying to

399
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: talk back after translator who in turn translated back. That's

400
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,520

484
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 1: what's that too long? Man? You know, because you know

485
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: we're battling off a man, don't say that long intro

486
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: because I'm think of christ Mattick when I introduced people. Man,

487
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: how was that? Man? You laid it out, brother, and

488
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: I appreciate it you laid it that way. I appreciate that.

489
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: I appreciate it much. Well, you don't think that the

490
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: thing about I gotta go way back, you know, to one.

491
00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: I know, I was in l A at the time,

492
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 1: Steve Harving, I was doing radio in l A. So

493
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: we were starting our dream. And when you start a dream,

494
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: it always is just something just doing. There's no set

495
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 1: where you're gonna be five years from now, ten years

496
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: from now, or even twenty years from now. What you

497
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: are right now? What was the plan when you just

498
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: owned those stories twenty years ago of the breakfast, And

499
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: what was the plan? Um? You know? In in nine nine,

500
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: I set out and UH wrote the vision and made

501
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: it plain. I envisioned us being a staple for the

502
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: city of Houston. I envisioned us being UM synonymous with

503
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: the city. I envisioned us being known from UH coast

504
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: to coast, from the Pacific to the Atlantic. I envisioned

505
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: us being an intricate part of the community. And I

506
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:06,480
Speaker 1: envisioned us being a source of inspiration for our community.

507
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: Knowing where we stood in this industry and what the

508
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: opportunities uh were, I envisioned to feel that that that void.

509
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: So I wanted to create this concept uh step out

510
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 1: on faith um and give Houston and and the AFFL

511
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: community what it deserves, what the what it deserves, what

512
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: you brought to the table. But when all, when you

513
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 1: have a product and you have to charge people for

514
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: that product, that always leads to mixed emotions because especially

515
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: in our community and on the beauty of the breakfast

516
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: club is that if you get in line, it is

517
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: one of the diverse lines in the world. Is everybody

518
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: that line his Spanish white? Sometimes more whites and live

519
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 1: than blacks. Okay, so he's serving that international customer that

520
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: he wants and so, but it didn't start out like that.

521
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: And so making that price point, how did that come

522
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: into play to You can make sure you're comfortable with

523
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: it because you gotta make money, but you also have

524
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 1: to make sure the cort doesn't feel offended. So let

525
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: me let me address the first half of that. Right

526
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: you talked about the diversity. I mentioned just a second

527
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 1: ago that I wanted to be UH synonymous with the city.

528
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to be an ambassador reflection of my city,

529
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 1: and the city of Houston is was and is a

530
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: microcosm of the United States. It is a very diverse,

531
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 1: diverse city, and I wanted the concept to be just

532
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 1: as diverse. I'm gonna tell you something. I remember driving

533
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: bankers and potential investors crazy when you know this as

534
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: a businessman, you know this. I will go into the

535
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: banking or business plan and UH they would ask who

536
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: is your target audience, who's your target demographic? And I

537
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: told them anyone and everyone that wants to participate, we

538
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: are inviting to participate. And they would try and drill

539
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: me down or no, you gotta demonified target demographic. And

540
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: I insisted that I didn't. That I wanted to do

541
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: something different. I wanted the city of Houston to be

542
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: reflected in the breakfast club. And here's the example that

543
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: I told the bankers that never gave me any money.

544
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: I wanted a place where. I wanted a place where

545
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: UH college students from Malma Mata, Texas Southern and you

546
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 1: have Aged and Rice and you have AGED Downtown and St. Thomas,

547
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 1: all surrounding UH universities surrounding the breakfast club. I wanted

548
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 1: them to sit in the same space where Fortune five

549
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: hundred vps and c e O s sat for breakfast.

550
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: Because we were on the outskirts of downtown. I wanted

551
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: the folks in the medical center to come and have

552
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: lunch with the people who work on the light poles.

553
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: I wanted any and everybody that wanted to participate in

554
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 1: this concept called uh fellowship. I wanted them in and

555
00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: so uh that that's where the idea of the version.

556
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: Let me tell you some funny. I knew we had

557
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: arrived at what I had envisioned. The bankers told me,

558
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:07,959
Speaker 1: hell now, the investors told me hell no. Maybe that's

559
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: why none of them gave me any money. Right, I

560
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: never will forget one day seeing um one of my

561
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: marketing folks, she could say, come here, you gotta see this.

562
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,400
Speaker 1: This is this is what you envisioned. And I walked

563
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: outside and in the parking lot was a convertible Lexus

564
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 1: coop and the brother got out and he was clean. Right,

565
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: that's like what Sean. I was like, is that ver

566
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: Sean mcdonnet stop. He was clean, And right next to him,

567
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: this brother pulled up in a back home, and he

568
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: in his overalls and his boots and he got out

569
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 1: and he stood the writing line with that brother that

570
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: was in that our money. So now it's like that's

571
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 1: the breakfast Club. But you know, it's really tragic how

572
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: people will everybody each food, you know what I'm saying, Marcus,

573
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: But still they act like, you know, okaun, your food

574
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: has to have a certain market. You know. I don't

575
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: know anybody who just don't eat breakfast, you know, I

576
00:34:57,760 --> 00:35:00,160
Speaker 1: think everybody eats breakfast, you know, but when you up

577
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: African American mayor walking in there, you must be just

578
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: targeting black people, Okay, and then do what you say that,

579
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: then they're gonna trap you even more because they're gonna

580
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 1: tell you how much you they think you can make.

581
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: Once you say you just targeted, I marketed, they don't value.

582
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:17,800
Speaker 1: So that's always smart to hear that on this show,

583
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: and coming from a person who said, no, I my

584
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: brand and my customer base will be everybody. If you

585
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: hold on to that dream and don't let anybody just

586
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: do your dream. That's why I say up top, don't

587
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: let nobody alter your dreams and your plans. You know,

588
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,319
Speaker 1: So going I started this thing off, talking about bitch

589
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: and a couple of concepts. I want to make sure

590
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: that we worked through today. Brother. You know you know

591
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: I'm a son and grandson and great grandson of Baptist preachers.

592
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: So I have I have my points, right, I got

593
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: my not absolutely, I love it. You know when you

594
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 1: called me, said Richard that we're talking Mark David based

595
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: and used to Texas. So you get part great breakfast

596
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: and part motivation depending on what day you get him.

597
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: When he called me, rich you said the twenty years

598
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: is coming up. I come back, I said, Marcus, you

599
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 1: don't have to push this conversation when you want to

600
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: come on. So get the preacher, brother. And and here's

601
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: why I thought that was important. And when I when

602
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: I started this business, when I started working on the plan,

603
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: I ran into all the statistics, right, all the statistics

604
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: that see it. Restaurants has the highest failure rate arong

605
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 1: along with clubs and bars. Right. Uh, it's a miracle

606
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: to make it past the first twelve months. It's a

607
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 1: miracle to make it past twenty four months. If you

608
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: hit five years, you're doing something miraculous. And here we

609
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: are four times that sitting on our twenty year anniversary,

610
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: twenty years of inspiring entrepreneurship in the city of Houston.

611
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,279
Speaker 1: And that's a testament to a number of concepts, and

612
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: that starts with the first thing that you said, opening

613
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: was vision right and believing whole hardening who you are

614
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: and what you've been called and created to be, and

615
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: not letting anybody deter you because absolutely positively folks will

616
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: try to deter you. Now it's not out of anything.

617
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 1: And I'm not big on this hater thing and people

618
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: hating on you and stuff like that. What I am

619
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: big on is understanding why they don't agree with you,

620
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: on why they don't see what you see. Your vision

621
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: that was gave to you, that was given to you,

622
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: was only given to you. The Creator made it, Taylor

623
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: made specifically for you, and it is not and it

624
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 1: has not been exposed to the rest of the earth

625
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: because you're the one responsible for developing it. You're the

626
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: one responsible for going into the dark room, taking that

627
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: negative and turning into a positive. I know, I speaking

628
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: foreign language because we don't develop a lot of feeling anymore.

629
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: But you get the concept right, that picture that the

630
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,320
Speaker 1: creator gave to you. You are the person responsible for

631
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,719
Speaker 1: going into the dark room and developing it. So the

632
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 1: people that that that don't say a man in your corner,

633
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: the people that do not agree with you, the people

634
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: that are not backing you up, it's not because they

635
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: have any ill will. It's because they haven't gotten the

636
00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 1: picture that you're responsible for painting. And that's the most

637
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: important thing is that you have to be willing to

638
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: under stand that it all gonna fall back on you.

639
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 1: So a lot of people, when they have their dream,

640
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: they want people to feel sorry for them when they're

641
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: doing bad, and they want to be excited for them

642
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: when they're feeling good. I keep a medium roll in

643
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: my whole approach to life, and plus I don't try

644
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 1: to share too much excitement, and I never share failure

645
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: because sharing failure with somebody when they feel you're supposed

646
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: to be successful will only create doubt in your circle.

647
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: And so that is what happened a lot during the pandemic,

648
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: because we had a year in twenty where there was

649
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 1: nothing but doubt, there's nothing but uncertainty. They shut down

650
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 1: your business, like all businesses around this country for two months.

651
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: How did you come out of that with the same

652
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: enthusiasm that that that natural enthusiast I see all the time,

653
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: and you for your business to breakfast club. That was

654
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: your primary business, of course, but how did you survive?

655
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: So you know, it was only one of the things

656
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: that I'm grateful for. There's a there's the thing going

657
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:55,919
Speaker 1: around on social media and and and it's interest and said,

658
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: I asked for courage, so I was giving things that

659
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: would frighten me in order to developed the courage. I

660
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: asked for uh strength, So I was giving heavy weight

661
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: to carry in order to make me stronger. I don't

662
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: know where it came from, but I thought it was

663
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: it was. It was pretty elegant. The reality of it

664
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: is the Breakfast Club not only we celebrating twenty years

665
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: in business, two decades of inspiring entrepreneurship on the corner

666
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: of Travis and Alabama, but we are also proving what

667
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: it means to be battle tested. Right. The pandemic was significant, Right,

668
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 1: It was a very significant, spectacular event and and detrimental

669
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: to a lot of businesses. One of the things that

670
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 1: I am grateful for is that it was not our

671
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 1: first rodeo was at our first pandemic, of course, but

672
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: we opened this business underpression. We opened this business when

673
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: the streets wanted construction. We opened this business on the

674
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: heels of Hurricane Allison, which hit our build them before

675
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,560
Speaker 1: we got to serve sale one grid. We opened this

676
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: business when Hurricane I was here and Hurricane Harvey came through.

677
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: We opened this business and in ruin crashed. We all

678
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 1: in two weeks before UH nine eleven hit, which was

679
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: a big deal because because downtowns in a lot of

680
00:40:05,480 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: cities took a decline, because folks were scared to go

681
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 1: into work if you worked in the major metropolitan city.

682
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: So we on the on the hills of in run

683
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: crashing UH nine eleven happening, Uh Alison. Then I. Then

684
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 1: you had that little thing in two thousand and seven

685
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,239
Speaker 1: where gas was sky high. Yeah, the other thing where

686
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: food jumped up two thousand seven, two thousand and eight,

687
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: bringing in the recession where folks are getting laid off

688
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: left and right. Uh. You move on down to Hurricane

689
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: Ike where we were closed for five whole days, and

690
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 1: then Hurricane Harvy. We are battle tested at thirty or

691
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: seven eleven, Travis, and that's what prepared us for what

692
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,919
Speaker 1: came forward in one We've been through the Royal Range.

693
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: We've been through the storm and my team, uh we

694
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: we've developed a certain amount of diligence where we can

695
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: perform under the pressure. Our metal has been tested. I'm

696
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: so grateful uh that we that that we had the

697
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: ability to to perform. And I'm extremely grateful catch this

698
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: that the community uh soft fit to sustain us during

699
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: that time. And that's what good will would do for

700
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: you Absolutely do good in writing just by the people,

701
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 1: then prayerfully most times off times they will respond, they

702
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: will And I'm fortunate that the people responded uh to

703
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: what we needed them to respond to. But lets just

704
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 1: change something about Marcus Davis and his his personality, his

705
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: willingness to answer the call for promotional opportunities. You know,

706
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: when I just Steve Harvey Shaw owned National Syndication, called Marcus,

707
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: he didn't like, go let me think about it, what time?

708
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: When do you want to be there? Because he under

709
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: you understood the value of the moment and a lot

710
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 1: of people understand the value of the moment. But more

711
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: importantly about Marcus, he knows how to take up possitively

712
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: advantage of that moment. And that really I'm not saying

713
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 1: that's one of the the rememberable moments in your business.

714
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: But you have a lot of them in there, like

715
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: with Oprah to Steve Harvest talk about how you and

716
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 1: let me just tell y'all strategically, I may have asked

717
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,440
Speaker 1: him to come on to Steve Harvey Talk show, but

718
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 1: he had a strategy as to why he was coming.

719
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: My correct, Marcus, But I mean, you're you're absolutely correct.

720
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 1: And I know this is and I know this sounds

721
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: a little far um, but there was a time where

722
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 1: you didn't have the world at the touch of a button.

723
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,479
Speaker 1: That was a time when you didn't have the East

724
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: Coast and the West coast available to you via Twitter,

725
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: vi Instagram, their Facebook. That was the time where you

726
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: had to bust your butt in order to get that

727
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,800
Speaker 1: type of recognition. And you had to also be lucky,

728
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: uh as a result of the good work that you've done. Right,

729
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: So the hard work that we put in uh, combined

730
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 1: with relationships that we had built UH allowed us to

731
00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: have opportunity is where someone like yourself did pick up

732
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: the telephone and say here we go. Yeah, man, it

733
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 1: was it was it was all right real quick. So

734
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 1: at the time they had this morning show on on radio,

735
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: was the time John the Morning right that that that

736
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: was I don't were you in radio then, because it's

737
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: a one or two point one? Yeah yeah, so uh

738
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: the time Join the Morning Show. And I sat there

739
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: and thought, man, how in the heck am I gonna

740
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: get on Tom join the Morning Show. I ain't got

741
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: to them joining the money, right. I know I can't

742
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: run national advertise, right, I don't have Twitter and I

743
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 1: don't have i G so I can't push these buttons.

744
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: So I came up with this idea, and um, the

745
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: idea was to go buy a hundred and to Neon

746
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,960
Speaker 1: Bright Neon shirts and to pass them out to a

747
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: hundred two people standing in line and tell them to

748
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: wear that shirt and if I see you wearing that shirt,

749
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 1: that I'm buying you grits after the end of the show.

750
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: And man went all one hundred and two of those

751
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,720
Speaker 1: folks lined up and running the breakfast club after that show.

752
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,680
Speaker 1: And then your boy Jay Anthony came through, and then

753
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 1: they started mentioning this on on on the show, and

754
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,719

00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 1: gotta have the product and you gotta have the service. Okay.

800
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,239
Speaker 1: So so when you come there, now, if that be

801
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: a lie, guess what, that's what happened. Properly, you're popular,

802
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: but they friendly as soon as they see you, soon

803
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 1: as you're coming that door, air conditioning, work the menu,

804
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: and they don't go and go, hey, we don't have

805
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,040
Speaker 1: that on the menu today, not not not at the

806
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 1: breakfast Club. If it's on the menu, they got it

807
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: and it serves over because because black restaurants get a

808
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: lot of because we have to say that too, you know,

809
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 1: black restaurants can't get a bad restaurant, and our black

810
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: people will carry bad news faster than good news. And

811
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: so now let me let me, let me, let me

812
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 1: put a pin in that because I have I have

813
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,319
Speaker 1: to say this right and I'm not stating what you're

814
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: saying is is untrue. It's absolutely true, but it's also

815
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: true of none black restaurants. I went to a restaurant.

816
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: I went to a restaurant the other day that was

817
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: none black owner was right on, and it's made the chain.

818
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: And out of the eight things on the menu they

819
00:47:53,600 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: didn't have they only had three on them. Right. But

820
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 1: we're conditioned to believe a certain thing about our businesses.

821
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: That's the condition to believe about the other uh business all.

822
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is we gotta keep that same energy.

823
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: So when Pope Eyes tell you they ain't got uh

824
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: no more chicken, then you know we gotta keep You know,

825
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,960
Speaker 1: it's terminal terminal where you went on? Hold? Can I

826
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:19,399
Speaker 1: can I go back to somebody say, because I don't

827
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: want to miss it. You mentioned you mentioned about the product,

828
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 1: right you You mentioned about having the product getting in

829
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 1: that space where people make the calls and you get

830
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: some national recognitions one thing. But having the product to

831
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: get you there is a whole another thing. And the

832
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: three things that that that I share with my team

833
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 1: from day one, these are my my key principles for success.

834
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: Quality product, quality service, all the time. Quality product quality service,

835
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:51,399
Speaker 1: and do it every freaking time you unlock that due

836
00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 1: that's not the same. Mistakes are not gonna happen. But

837
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 1: your goal, your mission, should be to make sure that

838
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: every time you unlock the door, you deliver the quality

839
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 1: product through the hands of great people. And you're doing

840
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: it each and every single time. Now, why is that important?

841
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 1: Because if folks come to the breakfast club today and

842
00:49:12,239 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: they go out and tell their moming them and they're

843
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:17,160
Speaker 1: cousin them and niecing them, when leasing them, come nesing them,

844
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 1: are gonna be expecting the same grits that they got

845
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 1: that the that there you know, that aren't told them around,

846
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:24,000
Speaker 1: or that they got last time. And so you have

847
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: to be able to deliver those things. When I say

848
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: quality product, brother, that there is an attempt, there's a

849
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:33,880
Speaker 1: temptation right to want to change and move things around

850
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 1: just because somebody come to you and tell you, hey, man,

851
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: I can get you some cheaper, cheaper wings, and that

852
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: are they the same size, are they the same quality

853
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: of meat? Right? And will they be consistent? Those three

854
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: things are important to me before I before I jumped

855
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:50,120
Speaker 1: to price, because price is one side of it. But

856
00:49:50,160 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: if you're giving me eight ounces wings one day and

857
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: two ounce queens the next day, I can't deliver that

858
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,959
Speaker 1: to my guests. If you're delivering me, you know, high

859
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: quality wings one day, or catfish one day, in low

860
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,800
Speaker 1: quality catfish another day. I can't deliver that to my guests.

861
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,919
Speaker 1: You have to stay consistent in the quality that your

862
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: guests deserved. That's important that you say that, because it

863
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:13,720
Speaker 1: was uh, you know, twenty years the quality product, quality service,

864
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: all the time, all the time. Consistency. Construction. I got

865
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,879
Speaker 1: daddy behind consistency. I forgot about this street construction on Maine. Man,

866
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:22,840
Speaker 1: that was that was a terror. Man, when you was

867
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:28,280
Speaker 1: dealing with that, you know, you know, look, look people,

868
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: you know that was a big deal back in there, right,

869
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 1: How are you surviving under construction? Man? We went in

870
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: knowing construction was coming, right, you know, I pulled the

871
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,799
Speaker 1: Bernie on it. I was like, I ain't scared no construction.

872
00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: That O faces me, right, I look, I looked forward

873
00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,719
Speaker 1: to the future, not the president tents. And what was

874
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: the future? Yeah, they told Maine because they were building

875
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:51,919
Speaker 1: the rail, the future was that was gonna be a rail.

876
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 1: That's there. You get what I'm saying. You know, they

877
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,759
Speaker 1: flowed Travis because they wanted to widen the street. I

878
00:50:57,800 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: could have looked and said, I can't go on Travis

879
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,600
Speaker 1: because the tann the street up the future was You're

00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: gotta look forward to the bigger picture and be willing

883
00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: to take the sacrifice at the beginning or somewhere in between.
