Speaker 1: Yo.

00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 2: If you thought the mccrispy was busting all up, Vacon

Speaker 2: and Ranch have entered the chat. Say hello to the

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: vacant ranch mccrispy. Bye, not bob by five.

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 3: I participated McDonald's live Me to Town Only.

6
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 4: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 4: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

Speaker 4: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

Speaker 4: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 4: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 4: Donald J.

12
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 5: Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the.

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 4: United States Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted

14
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 4: illegal border crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded,

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 4: and over one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested.

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 4: If you are here illegally, your next you will be

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 4: fine nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and.

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 5: Deported, you will never return. But if you read at

19
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 5: using our.

20
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 4: CBP home app and leave now, you could be allowed

21
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 4: to return legally.

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 5: Do what's right. Leave now.

23
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 4: Under President Trump, America's laws, border and families will.

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 3: Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 6: All Right, so we're gonna get into this, man, this

26
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 6: is gonna be dope. I'm looking forward to this. So

27
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 6: I'm gonna start with you, Ryan, So talk about what

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 6: you have going on technology. As far as the last

29
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 6: time we spoke, I'm sure a lot of things have

30
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 6: changed from that, right, talk about superphone, Talk about the

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 6: next era of superphone and where it's headed and how

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 6: it's going to empower not just artists, entrepreneurs, everybody for sure.

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 7: First of all, it's great to see everybody in the

34
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 7: building well in the open air. And everything in my

35
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 7: life and career has always been focused on service. Our

36
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 7: family actually comes from the Salvation Army. That's how I

37
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 7: grew up. And superphone is a technology which allows me

38
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 7: to actually scale kind.

39
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 8: Of a brain child that I had.

40
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 7: That in the spirit of ownership and the spirit of entrepreneurship.

41
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 7: The first stage of ownership comes from owning equity, and

42
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 7: that equity should first be in the relationships that you have.

43
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 7: You've probably heard about it before. Your net work is

44
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 7: your net worth. Superphone is really that next level of

45
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 7: allowing you to actually know who you're talking to. If

46
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 7: I ask you to take your phone out right now,

47
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 7: you're probably of all the contacts you have in your phone,

48
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 7: you're probably only using about three percent of them. What

49
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 7: we want to do is deliver a layer of technology

50
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 7: so that you can unlock the value in every relationship.

51
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 7: Somehow that person got into your phone. And this works

52
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 7: across the board. So whether it is for you as

53
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 7: an artist, for you as an entrepreneur, for you as

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 7: somebody that's raising money, for you that wants to have

55
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 7: any kind of impact, as long as you can remove

56
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 7: yourself or selfish concepts from what you want to achieve,

57
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 7: and you root what you're doing in service. You've heard

58
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 7: it before, how do you make a billion dollars? Learn

59
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 7: how you can be of service to a billion people?

60
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 7: So that's really what we're doing with Superphone on two levels.

61
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 7: Number one, actually building technology that allows you to really

62
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 7: have ownership of your audience. We did this on my

63
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 7: own project. We did it with Nipsey Hustle where he

64
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 7: actually took his record and he inverted his entire business model.

65
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 7: So instead of saying, hey, I need a million people

66
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 7: to make a million dollars, he said I could find

67
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 7: the fans, the supporters, and the first record, I could

68
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 7: do a thousand copies at one hundred, and then we

69
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 7: can flip that again and we could do one hundred

70
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 7: copies at a thousand, and we were proud to be

71
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 7: part of the technology stack that made that happens. So

72
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 7: whatever you're building, it's really about thinking about all of

73
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 7: the features that you have in Gmail, the ability to

74
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 7: have a folder, the ability to have a filter, the

75
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 7: ability to mark something that's unread so you can come

76
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 7: back and check on it later. We're bringing that and

77
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 7: retrofitting what is really our legacy social handle, which is

78
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 7: our mobile number. That's how you really know when you

79
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 7: have a real connection. And I got a lot of

80
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 7: people out here that have phone numbers, but you really

81
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 7: know when you're connected when you ring that phone. Especially now,

82
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 7: nobody actually wants to pick up the phone now, right,

83
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 7: So you know you're really connected when somebody will actually

84
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 7: take that phone call. And so that's what we're building

85
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 7: with Superphone, and it's not also it's not only about

86
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 7: just building that technology is also about allowing everyone to

87
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 7: be a part of it.

88
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 8: So in many.

89
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 7: Cases, especially with people of color, we've made platforms hot

90
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 7: and when we make those platforms hot we don't get

91
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 7: the email that says, hey do you want want to

92
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 7: be an owner? Whether it was clubhouse, Twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp,

93
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 7: if y'all travel overseas, you didn't get the email and

94
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 7: say hey, you can own some stock. We understand that

95
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 7: in order to change the narrative of building wealth, especially

96
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 7: in our community, we need to open the doors and

97
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 7: make sure that anyone that wants to be involved as

98
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 7: an owner can do so. And so we also for

99
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 7: as little as one hundred dollars, we partner with a

100
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 7: platform that allows people to actually own shares of super

101
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 7: own shares of Superphone at this early stage.

102
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 8: So that's what we own. Appreciate it.

103
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: That's a lot.

104
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 9: Clip it up for that, y'all.

105
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 10: The Russell my brother, I'm gonna come to you, man,

106
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 10: because when I just listening to Ryan talk and I'm

107
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 10: listening and knowing who you are talking about inverting a

108
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 10: business and being able to capture a community and have

109
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 10: people involved.

110
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 9: That's kind of been a blueprint for what you've done.

111
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 9: So can you talk.

112
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 10: About the power of independence but also capturing fans and

113
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 10: be able to utilize that to your better it?

114
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 11: Man?

115
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 12: Completely like you gotta cultivate a village, you feel me.

116
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 12: If you want to eat and not have to go

117
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 12: outside of your village and your unit to rely on

118
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 12: other people, you gotta cultivate that. And we've done that

119
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 12: by just allowing people to support us at every level.

120
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: You know.

121
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 12: With the ticketing platform, we did proud to pay tickets.

122
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 13: So it's like, if.

123
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 12: You want to see certain artists, if the ticket is

124
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 12: one hundred dollars and you only got ninety eight, you're

125
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,279
Speaker 12: not gonna be able to see them. But we create

126
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 12: an infrastructure to where if you're a little short, you

127
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 12: can still.

128
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: Come see me, you feel me.

129
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 12: And I think that's very important because some people just

130
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 12: ain't got it, but they still deserve to get the

131
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 12: same experience, the same amenities, you know. So we took

132
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 12: it from there, and then we did it with music.

133
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: You know.

134
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 12: I was on a bike ride and I was thinking

135
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,359
Speaker 12: about how Nipsey did one hundred dollars album, and I

136
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 12: didn't have too many niggas around me with one hundred

137
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 12: dollars at the time, so it was like, all right,

138
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 12: so let me just allow them to pay whatever they can,

139
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 12: so that way I'll walk away with one dollar instead

140
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 12: of zero, you know. And we opened the door with

141
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 12: music and then we took it to Mertz and I

142
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 12: was just like, we've seen the benefits of when you

143
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 12: have something.

144
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 13: That everyone can afford at whatever price point.

145
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 12: That they said you may not always win monetarily, but

146
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 12: in terms of marketing, it's like I have a million

147
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 12: people wearing my product proudly.

148
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 13: You know, they're proud of the money they spent.

149
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 12: There's not too many places where you can go with

150
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 12: just a little and still feel like you got what

151
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 12: everybody else got, you know. So we just opened the

152
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 12: doors for people to support us at every level.

153
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: So Kiss, I want to ask you.

154
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 6: We're going to talk about the coffee, but before the coffee,

155
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 6: me and Troy went to your show with Styles shout

156
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 6: out to sp and before the show we was talking

157
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 6: to Styles and he was excited because he's like, Yo,

158
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 6: we actually we got.

159
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: The venue, like we the promoters. So talk about that.

160
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 6: As far as you've been in the game for a

161
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 6: long time, how is that experience of you actually booking

162
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 6: to show yourself and you bringing other artists on and

163
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 6: different things of that nature.

164
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 14: Before I even get into that, it's more about for

165
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 14: anybody that want to be an aspiring artist, producer, or

166
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 14: any other type of business you want to get into.

167
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 11: I think you need to learn as much as.

168
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 14: You can about anything you're about the uh, just like

169
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 14: a marriage, anything you're about to fall in love with,

170
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 14: anything you're about to spend the rest of your life with,

171
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 14: you should try to obtain as much knowledge as you

172
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 14: can before you actually, you know, jump the broom or

173
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 14: sign the contract. And with the back to back concert

174
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 14: being in a game twenty something years and like my

175
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 14: brother right here said, these venues are ripping you off.

176
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 14: They're actually using what you bring to the venue making

177
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 14: money off you, and you the whole, the whole piece

178
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 14: of the pie. It's about understanding what you're doing. We

179
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 14: just wanted to get the venue and put on the

180
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 14: show for our fans and our people and our peers

181
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 14: and and make some money as well as have some fun.

182
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 14: But it all goes back to learning, learning the business

183
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 14: you're in, learning your craft, and more than just wanting

184
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 14: to have the number one record or the number one.

185
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 11: Beat, or top eighty eight or be lit as the.

186
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 14: Young kids say, now you want to learn and have

187
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 14: some equity.

188
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 8: To the day they were like what's that being.

189
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 11: On the radio, the old show that they had on

190
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 11: the radio.

191
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 14: But instead of wanting to be lit or popping or

192
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 14: whatever you call it, you want to have some equity

193
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 14: and you want to you know, make money off yourselves

194
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 14: and not spread yourself too thin.

195
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 11: And that's what we was able to do.

196
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 14: It was successful and we're still learning every day. I

197
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 14: go by slogan school is always open. That means you

198
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 14: you can learn something new every day.

199
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 15: Right.

200
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 10: Powerful, So I want to talk about full circle moments

201
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 10: for a second. Right, so we hear you're noted masters, obviously,

202
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 10: Steve Stout, Let's talk about the power branding. I guess

203
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 10: you can all take this. But the importance of branding

204
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 10: and partnering with brands. That make sense, So Steve Stoulet,

205
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 10: the Rebok commercial, everybody knows that, the AI commercial. But

206
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 10: even to present day, like, as I'm watching the NFL,

207
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 10: I'm hearing your voice over the commercials, so I'm like, yo,

208
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 10: your kisses everywhere.

209
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 8: Man.

210
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 10: So talking about aligning with brands and the power of

211
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 10: power behind.

212
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 11: That branding is very important.

213
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 14: Aligning yourself with brands is even more important. But with

214
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 14: today's society social media, as you see when tragic things

215
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 14: happen before somebody would help an elderly person, they pull

216
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 14: out their phone. So everybody's a brand, and when you

217
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 14: you know, when you're an artist or athlete, a businessman, businesswoman,

218
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 14: you got to think that you're a brand and do

219
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 14: as much as you can to support that brand, give

220
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 14: a positive outlook on the brand, and just keep you know,

221
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 14: productivity as much as you can because that's gonna help

222
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 14: your financial situation in the long run with all e's

223
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,719
Speaker 14: on you in today's society.

224
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 6: So, ron I want to ask you about ownership. You

225
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 6: broke down how you made a bunch of money by

226
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 6: selling like fourteen thousand albums before on the show, but

227
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 6: talk about like the power of ownership and leveraging that

228
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 6: to actually make money.

229
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 8: Yeah.

230
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 7: I really believe that that when you have the right information,

231
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 7: you have the right access to information, and the right infrastructure,

232
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 7: you really can as long as you're rooted in service,

233
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 7: you can really make however much you want to make.

234
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 7: So a lot of times I would go to my

235
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 7: record company and I say, hey, look, you know my

236
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 7: first album I sold you know, one hundred and sixty

237
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 7: thousand albums. I'm not platinum status. I didn't have no

238
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 7: records on the chart. Then my second album, which was

239
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 7: Grammy nominated, I only sold sixty thousand, and so I

240
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 7: went to him. I said, hey, look, we're in a

241
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 7: digital age. If I sold one hundred eighty thousand, how

242
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 7: come we don't know all those people? Can I just

243
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 7: press the email and we could email everybody who bought

244
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 7: the last one. They should definitely want to know about

245
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 7: the first one. And it sounds funny now, right because

246
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 7: we should actually know. But I will present this challenge

247
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 7: to y'all that if you're building on social media, you're

248
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 7: really just renting your audience. And so for me in

249
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 7: twenty thirteen, I said, look, if I want to actually

250
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 7: have this information, I got to give to receive. So

251
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 7: I gave my number out on Twitter. I say, look

252
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 7: to send me a text if you want the record.

253
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 7: And by that time I'd already bought my contract out,

254
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 7: so every single dollar that came in and went straight

255
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 7: to the bank account instantly.

256
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 8: I see, that's what you're doing now.

257
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 7: And so the beauty of that and this, I think

258
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 7: what you're talking about is first having that relationship, that

259
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 7: one on one relationship with the fans and letting them

260
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 7: know that you're here to actually be of service to them. However,

261
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 7: they are looking to actually support you. So at the

262
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 7: very beginning, the opening conversation was just the music.

263
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 8: Hey, let me just download the music.

264
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,200
Speaker 7: But then people would actually and when we talk about

265
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 7: brand partnerships, people would actually text in Yo, you didn't know,

266
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 7: but I run the Lamborghini club in so and so.

267
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 7: So whenever you do your next video, man, just call me.

268
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 7: I'm gonna bring seventeen of those things out. Sounds great

269
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 7: to me, you know what I mean? Yep, I was

270
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 7: over there next people say, you know what, Ryan, listen.

271
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 7: We love the concerts and everything. And I've been doing

272
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 7: this for a long time, actually doing my tickets direct,

273
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 7: and sometimes it's a struggle because the venues actually they

274
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 7: have deals with the larger promoters, etc. So I had

275
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 7: to go out and find a promoter that was willing

276
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 7: to take that chance with me. And when you look

277
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 7: at and even in boxing, etc. Once the talent becomes

278
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 7: the promoter, the whole financial breakdown starts to change and

279
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 7: they start to understand their business better. And when they

280
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,839
Speaker 7: start to understand their business, the ingenuity of a creative

281
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 7: becomes present. In the execution of those business ideas. And

282
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 7: as you sit here in this audience as creatives, make

283
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 7: sure that you pay attention to the business because as

284
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 7: you know your business better and better and better, your

285
00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 7: ingenuity as a creator, your creativity, is what is going

286
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 7: to make the difference. We're watching it live in real time,

287
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 7: watching the history that's being made the ingenuity and creativity.

288
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 8: But also it's.

289
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 7: Also about understanding that it's not just about you. It's

290
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 7: about being able to connect with those who also relate

291
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 7: to the impact that you want to have. And so

292
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 7: I watched my young brother right here found a platform.

293
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 7: I think it's called even dabiz right he found that

294
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 7: platform a young brother, another young young guy man super creative,

295
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 7: and said, look, your concept of what you want to do,

296
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 7: we can help you bring it to life. What does

297
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 7: that do That allows for you to remain the creative

298
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 7: and you can choose the folks on your team that

299
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 7: can elevate and put the infrastructure around the impact that

300
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 7: you want to have. Once again, it comes down to

301
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 7: having those phone numbers, making those phone numbers work for you,

302
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 7: making those phone calls work for you. And so when

303
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 7: we think about the economics of it. Once you can

304
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 7: start to realize what products or services people would actually

305
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 7: pay a premium for, you can interact and engage with

306
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 7: those supporters at that level.

307
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 8: And so, yeah, he.

308
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 6: Said something that was extremely insightful. You said, once the

309
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 6: talent becomes the promoter, that's when everything changed, and you

310
00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 6: reference boxing, and that was I'm glad you did that

311
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 6: because everybody knows Floyd Mayweather made more money any boxer. Right,

312
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 6: It's not necessarily that he made the most money because

313
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 6: he was the best boxer, although he is one of

314
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 6: the best boxes He made the most money because he

315
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 6: was the promoter.

316
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: That's how he changed the game.

317
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 6: That's how he went from making twenty million to one

318
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 6: hundred and eighty million.

319
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: For Connor McGregor, like you know what I'm saying.

320
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 6: So that was actually extremely insightful, and you could be

321
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 6: the promoter not only in that situation, but as a musician.

322
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 6: What we do when we do financial literacy events, we

323
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 6: booked the whole thing. So just look at it from

324
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 6: that standpoint, like when you cut the middleman, always make

325
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 6: the most money in America and in the world. If

326
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 6: you think of Amazon, Amazon's a middleman, right, It's really

327
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 6: a logistics company. They get in product. They don't make

328
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 6: any product that they're shipping product from one person to

329
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 6: another person, and they make billions of dollars because of that. Right,

330
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 6: So middlemen make the most money. So if you could

331
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 6: figure out how to beat the talent and the middleman,

332
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 6: now you really have a monopoly.

333
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 9: It's both.

334
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 10: Now, my brother, the russ I know you were sitting

335
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 10: there like your toy was right, Troy was right.

336
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 9: Ryan knows everything.

337
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 8: He's like, how do you know?

338
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 9: I was using that?

339
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 10: But I want to talk about infrastructure because you said something.

340
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 9: You kind of breezed over it at first.

341
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 10: You're like, yeah, we created a ticket site for ourselves,

342
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 10: but that really came from solving a problem. Right, Like,

343
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 10: every time I look at you and I watch your clips,

344
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 10: I'm like, there's a solution he's trying to create. He's

345
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 10: creating a solution to a problem. He's created another solution

346
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 10: to a problem. Talk about that, the ticket innovation and

347
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 10: what's sparked it and how you came about you know.

348
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 13: Yeah, so it's called what's TBA.

349
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 12: It's black On founded by myself and Abrima and Shade

350
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 12: and basically, yeah, it was a solution like Ryan was saying,

351
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 12: we've always booked our own shows, but and we've never

352
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 12: had an issue as long as we.

353
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 13: Were using their infrastructure.

354
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 12: As soon as we created our own, then we start

355
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 12: getting all the oh, we can't do that show here

356
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 12: because this this. So it just enabled us to find

357
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,879
Speaker 12: all the independent venues and the people that really have

358
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 12: the same ethics as us and not trying to monopolize.

359
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 12: And it really allowed us to enter a market that

360
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 12: didn't exist. You know, there's nowhere else where you could

361
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 12: get a show of this experience at the price that

362
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 12: you can get it, and it's scalable for people who

363
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,479
Speaker 12: support you differently, like someone I was thinking, like, some

364
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 12: people may find me and they like I like them,

365
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 12: and I want to see what he about. I don't

366
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 12: want to pay sixty dollars for it, right, and they

367
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 12: should have that leisure. But some people are like, I

368
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 12: love him and I really want to support it needs

369
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 12: to go beyond that, right, and we've just allowed people

370
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 12: to do so. So for us, it was just solving

371
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 12: that issue of not being able to get everyone in

372
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 12: a building who wanted to be in the building. Right,

373
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 12: We're not trying to deny nobody access I came up

374
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 12: where I didn't have it all the time, so we

375
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 12: want to make sure that people can still get the

376
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 12: same access.

377
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: So it's incredible.

378
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 10: So yeah, I was going to say, like crazy before

379
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 10: the ticket thing, I was talking, we were talking about backstage.

380
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 10: I was like, Yo, he's doing shows in his backyard.

381
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 9: Tell him to play on that man.

382
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 11: Yeah.

383
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 13: Man, So we built a residency.

384
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 12: I ended up building a venue in my backyard because

385
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 12: another venue told me no, and it was the best

386
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,399
Speaker 12: thing they could do for me. You know, at first

387
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 12: I was bothered, but it was like many So last

388
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 12: year we announced folk shows and we sold out all

389
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 12: of them. We got it coming back this summer and

390
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 12: Kisses kupulling up and rapping with us, you know, a legendary.

391
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 12: But yeah, man, it was another one of us just

392
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 12: not having that access outside and deciding to build our

393
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 12: own village. Now it's so dope because it's giving so

394
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 12: many of my homies a job, and it's just giving

395
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 12: us something to where if anything ever happens, I know

396
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 12: I could wake up and go on my backyard and

397
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 12: get my family back right and we own it.

398
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 6: So kiss let me ask you this. So you went

399
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 6: left when everybody's going right right. Everybody has a liquor brand, Spirits,

400
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,719
Speaker 6: but you decided to have a coffee. So coffee billion

401
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 6: dollar industry and something that people drink every single day.

402
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 6: I know your dad has a history in coffee, and

403
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 6: it's a family business too, with your dad and your son.

404
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 6: So what really made you want to really push the

405
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 6: envelope and go into the coffee business?

406
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 14: Coffee my dad, like you said, my dad been in

407
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 14: coffee since nineteen seventy seventy said, he worked for the

408
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 14: Maxwell House division when he came to New York from Memphis.

409
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 14: He actually raised me off working in coffee and raised

410
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 14: my family.

411
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 11: He likes to say, we have skin in the game.

412
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 11: Is not like a pay for hire.

413
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 14: And he always wanted me to be, you know, with

414
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 14: him in the business. But I chose to do my thing,

415
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 14: you know, so that hurt him a little bit. Then

416
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 14: my son, when I had my son, raised him, put

417
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 14: him through school. He graduated Clark Atlanta. My dad was hoping.

418
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 14: My dad was hoping that he would want to take

419
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 14: the coffee business, and he didn't. He didn't really show

420
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 14: no interest in it, and my dad kept doing his

421
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 14: own thing.

422
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 11: Then after the first verses with fab and y'all know,

423
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 11: I was Jada drunk.

424
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,919
Speaker 14: And my dad's not really social media and client. So

425
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 14: I think my daughter was over my mom and dad's

426
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 14: house and my niece was over there and they were

427
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 14: showing them the live feed and people were like, yo,

428
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 14: get kissed.

429
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 11: Some coffee or get him some water. I think he's drunk.

430
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 14: So he came up with an idea of doing like

431
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 14: an anecdote coffee, but we didn't want to flow with

432
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 14: the whole intoxicated thing.

433
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 11: It wasn't the time yet.

434
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 14: Then after doing the dip set versus, I called a

435
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 14: lot of momentum, a lot of opportunity stuff, and he

436
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 14: was like, I think it's time to launch the Kiss Cafe.

437
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 14: My brand and the coffee we put in like two years,

438
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 14: I mean my dad and my son. We bought it,

439
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 14: my man set free and his wife for the compound

440
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 14: and do the marketing. We launched it and it's doing

441
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 14: pretty damn good. But for the most part, you know,

442
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 14: people from our ethnic backgrounds don't even think about generational wealth.

443
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 14: So for me to launch a company with my dad

444
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,919
Speaker 14: and my son, I probably won't be here or be

445
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 14: alive to see the success that it receives, but just

446
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 14: to you know, get it off the ground as a blessing.

447
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 14: And I'm thankful every day for it is doing very well.

448
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 14: The coffee is probably the best coffee you can have

449
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 14: a drink. Make sure you're checking out even probably, And

450
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 14: I'm just happy to be here.

451
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 9: Man.

452
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 10: Like as you as you speaking, I'm in my head,

453
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 10: I'm like my popstinking son is deserting them.

454
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 9: It's hurting them. You got to be the man to sit.

455
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,200
Speaker 14: Down and to see that's all. That's all going to

456
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,399
Speaker 14: be in the doc. I had years. I had years

457
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 14: and not talking to my dad in the same trip,

458
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 14: you know what I mean. We we had different.

459
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 11: Views and you know, but it all worked out.

460
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 8: I love them.

461
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 11: We rocking out strong now and it's a blessed.

462
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 9: It's beautiful.

463
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 8: It's beautiful to see, man, the power of coffee.

464
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 9: Who knew, right?

465
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 10: I joke a lot and I'm like, yo, Ryan knows everything.

466
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 10: But there's a lot of creators in here.

467
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 9: I want you to talk about the amount of time that.

468
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,959

Speaker 10: craft and the amount of time you're putting into it.

00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 7: People actually don't care that much about the times that

531
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,479
Speaker 7: you're kind of grinding it out on your own. And

532
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 7: for me, I kind of had the same kind of

533
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 7: relationship with my father. I never went to a place

534
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 7: where I wasn't speaking to him, but he put me

535
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 7: through Harvard, you know, and he came as a Caribbean

536
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 7: father and said, yo, the way that you're going to

537
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 7: make it in the United States of America is going

538
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 7: to happen through education, and so I wanted to accelerate

539
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 7: that as quickly as possible because I knew I wanted

540
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 7: to do music. So fourteen years old, I was like, hey, look,

541
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,159
Speaker 7: you know, can I test out of high school? So

542
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 7: I'm going to start this early, man and get you

543
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 7: your diploma. He said, what do you mean? My diploma

544
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 7: actually hangs on my dad's walk. And the reason I

545
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 7: bring that up is because where age did you go

546
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 7: to Harvard? I got in when I was fourteen and

547
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 7: I was a freshman at fifteen.

548
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 8: Holy shit, they but.

549
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 9: They thought he was joking. They thought he was joking.

550
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 9: He's a real genius. Like I knew it.

551
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 8: I knew it.

552
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 7: So my diploma is actually on my father's wall. And

553
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,479
Speaker 7: when I got out of school, I thought, I was,

554
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 7: you know, mister entrepreneur, and I had this concert but

555
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 7: this little business plan, I said, Okay, I'm gonna make beats.

556
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,880
Speaker 7: I know, I'm nice with making beats. My business planning.

557
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 7: I'm gonna sell five beats a week at two hundred dollars.

558
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 7: Because the other folks that graduated from Harvard they were

559
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 7: all going to Boston Consulting Group and McKenzie and these

560
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 7: kinds of other companies. And I said, look, if I

561
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 7: can build a business plan where I'm making as much

562
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 7: as them, then my dad's going to actually say, okay,

563
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 7: you know, my son's all right. When you make that

564
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 7: first business plan, especially as a youngster like I was,

565
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,760
Speaker 7: you got big, big, big dreams, and I got a

566
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 7: quick reality check, you know. I was like, oh, man,

567
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 7: I'm gonna tell five beats a week at two hundred,

568
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 7: I give me a thousand a week, fifty two thousand.

569
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 8: I'm good. I'm telling my dad I'm fine. I told him.

570
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 7: I actually told him I worked at Boston Consultan Group,

571
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 7: but I was actually making beats. And all the bills

572
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 7: started going to the house, right and you know, eventually

573
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 7: I said, hey, Mom, listen, you know my phone.

574
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 8: You know I need to hold something from my phone.

575
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 7: She said, well, Bryan, I already knew, because the bills

576
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 7: they've been coming here, you know, because I actually was

577
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 7: basically homeless. I was living in a garage behind a

578
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 7: barbershop in Randolph, Massachusetts. But that concept that you're talking

579
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 7: about of just putting the work in when people aren't looking.

580
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 7: The reason my parents knew that I was going to

581
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 7: make something of myself in music is because when I

582
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 7: was broke and when I was living in a behind

583
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 7: a barbershop in Randolph, Massachusetts, I still had a great

584
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 7: deal of love, passion, and desire to wake up every

585
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 7: day and make beats. And it wasn't for the money.

586
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 7: It wasn't for the fame, it wasn't for the accolades,

587
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 7: it wasn't for the awards. It was just because I

588
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 7: felt like my actual gift was to make these beats

589
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 7: and eventually they would be of service to somebody.

590
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 8: Either I would make a beat.

591
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 7: That puff could use, like my first placement ended up

592
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 7: being Beyonce Keep Giving Your Love to Me for the

593
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 7: Bad Boys two soundtrack. And it wasn't because I was

594
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,800
Speaker 7: trying to be on the microphone or on the record.

595
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 7: Is because I understood that there's levels, and those levels

596
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 7: actually come from being under the tutelage, finding a mentor

597
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 7: finding somebody that's gonna give you an opportunity, And the

598
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 7: greatest gift that you can give to someone who gives

599
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,160
Speaker 7: you an opportunity is what you do with that opportunity.

600
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 7: So when I got that opportunity with making a beat

601
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 7: for Young Lord.

602
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 8: Actually in the Bronx, I was like.

603
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 7: I came off the plane, he put a little beat on,

604
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 7: started making some music, and that actually ended up, because

605
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 7: of his relationships, ended up being of service not only

606
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 7: to Puff who was building the soundtrack, it ended up

607
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,719
Speaker 7: being of service to the movie itself. It ended up

608
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 7: being of service to Beyonce's fans because they love to

609
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 7: hear new music from Beyonce. But everything that I do

610
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 7: is rooted in the service. So if I want to

611
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 7: understand how I can be of service in technology, I

612
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 7: take the same approach.

613
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 8: I want to go and learn.

614
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 7: I want to go and be amongst those who have

615
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 7: been successful. The first bigcoin I ever received was from

616
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 7: the CEO of Coinbase. It was because I happened to

617
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 7: be in a place.

618
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 9: No especially hey listen.

619
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 7: It was just because I had actually gone out to

620
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 7: Silicon Valley. And it really was actually because I had

621
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 7: somebody who was part of my team to say, hey, look, Ryan,

622
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 7: I have an invitation. You got to go out there,

623
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 7: and we just as brand new as we were, we

624
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:17,239
Speaker 7: went into the area with a respect and humility that

625
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 7: it takes so that people recognize you as a student. Now,

626
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 7: when you think about just in terms of just human behavior, right,

627
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 7: if someone were to tell you the greatest gift that

628
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 7: you could give me, Let's say it was your mom

629
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 7: or something. Sometimes it's tough to give birthday gifts. Right,

630
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 7: Let's say your mom says, Hey, the greatest gift you

631
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 7: could give me is just these are my favorite flowers,

632
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 7: and this is where I'd like to go. Once you

633
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 7: actually know this as a human being, you feel better

634
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 7: because you know exactly what to provide to give your

635
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 7: mom or someone that you care about, the exact thing

636
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 7: that they request.

637
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 8: And so for me, it turned out to.

638
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 7: Be the best sort of process I possibly could have

639
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 7: by just going out and asking the questions. But I

640
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 7: knew the same way that it took me eight years

641
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 7: working in that basement, working in that garage to get

642
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 7: to where I was as a producer. If I wanted

643
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,840
Speaker 7: to be a technology entrepreneur, I needed to surround myself

644
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 7: not only with other technology entrepreneurs and investors and software

645
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 7: programmers and developers, but also learn how to do it myself.

646
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 7: So I literally just took a course on Code Academy.

647
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 7: I said, look, if I'm going to try to do this.

648
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 7: I want to actually at least say that I've made

649
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 7: an effort.

650
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 6: So on the ground, let me ask laroussell yes, clap

651
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 6: it up for that, Lvassa. Let me ask you this,

652
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 6: how important is it to not only capture data but

653
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 6: actually get specific information because you got you get detailed

654
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 6: information for people like you know, you know this person

655
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 6: lives in Omaha, Nebraska and has a farm that you

656
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 6: can possibly use. And that's how you so talk about that,

657
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 6: like you just don't capture data, you Yeah, I.

658
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 12: Mean it's like really realizing the human behind the word data.

659
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 12: Like you know, we hear data and we instantly just

660
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 12: start thinking number and statistics, but those things are.

661
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 13: Attached to things. So like one day we did a

662
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 13: call to.

663
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 12: Action for just people who had spaces or backyards because

664
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 12: we was having trouble with venues, and we realized within

665
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 12: our our following we had a whole network of people

666
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 12: who was like, hey, you could just pull up. We

667
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 12: wouldn't even have to pay a venue or rental fee.

668
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 12: But we never knew because we just look at the

669
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 12: numbers as data. You look at a Spotify listener, But

670
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 12: when you start actually engaging and asking and like he says,

671
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 12: being of service, people want to be of service to you.

672
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 1: We get a lot of people who.

673
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 12: Just pull up and do things for us because you know,

674
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 12: we ask them what they do and what they had available.

675
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 12: But sometimes you never know just because you don't ask

676
00:34:58,560 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 12: the question.

677
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, kiss, I want to come to you. Longevity.

678
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 10: It's something that you've mastered. Man, I remember hearing you'll

679
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 10: see in like ninety four.

680
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 9: So to have you sitting here now is what you're

681
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 9: going about make me over than I am.

682
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 10: But I want to talk about well, I guess I

683
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:22,399
Speaker 10: kind of age myself then too.

684
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 9: Them.

685
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 10: Let's talk about the financial discipline that's come over the years, right,

686
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,759
Speaker 10: because you come from the bad boy era to now

687
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 10: where you're at the point where you know, I was

688
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 10: watching the interview, like yo, I might become an independent artist,

689
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 10: but the benefits of being on the major So talk

690
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 10: about the lessons in financial discipline that you've learned throughout

691
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 10: the course of this longevity, the long jefty that you

692
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 10: had in your career.

693
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 14: Oh that's a great word, financial discipline, because in the

694
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:54,719
Speaker 14: beginning I had no discipline at all, and I think

695
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 14: that's something that a lot of artists experience will go through.

696
00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 14: You mess up a lot of money. You're not aware of. Equity,

697
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 14: you're not aware of you know, just things that you

698
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 14: should be aware of. And I think the record labels

699
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 14: play on that, you know what I mean. That's something

700
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 14: that I don't like with some of the young younger black,

701
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 14: Latino male and females with a lot of talent.

702
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 11: If you don't have that knowledge, they can jam you up.

703
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:29,240
Speaker 14: But I think it's important to have a good staff

704
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 14: around you. Like I said, do a lot of reading,

705
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 14: try to obtain the knowledge, and then the more you

706
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 14: flourishing the business, you should you should go for equity.

707
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 14: You want to earn, you want to own things. Me

708
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 14: being an old school hustler, I just want to have

709
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 14: some money for a rainy day. So I'm still off

710
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 14: the old school, old school tactics, save everything, live life accordingly,

711
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 14: and you know, take trips and you only live one.

712
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 14: But I'm still saving me penny, old school.

713
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 9: Shoebox, shoe box, and then not so much.

714
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,839
Speaker 14: It's the shoe box mentality. But you know, with the

715
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 14: right way you're supposed to do it. And then I

716
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 14: come to you guys, y'all too or actually y'all four,

717
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,040

718
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 14: next level.

719
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: I would have copped Bentley, but I had to pay taxes.

720
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 11: You know what I mean.

721
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 14: Also, don't play with them people, them three letters that irs.

722
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:38,200

Speaker 7: on this planet. Right, raise your hand if in one year,

742
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,680

743
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 7: are right now, financially, professionally, in terms of growth, not

744
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 7: a hand in the air, not.

Speaker 8: A single one right.

746
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,879
Speaker 7: And so if you think about your relationships as investments

747
00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 7: in the stock of the future, every single person that

748
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 7: actually decided, you know what, I could have been over

749
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,640
Speaker 7: at a happy hour somewhere. I decided to come be

750
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 7: here because I want to edify myself. I want to

751
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 7: educate myself. I want to be somewhere where I can

752
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 7: learn and soak up something that might inspire me, that

753
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 7: might motivate me, that might give me that.

754
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 8: Ignition to actually change.

755
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 7: Where I want to be, because sometimes we don't even

756
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,880
Speaker 7: know what we don't know. And sometimes that conversation, just

757
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 7: that one phone call to make you top of mind,

758
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 7: that give you that introduction to that dinner, to that

759
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 7: office party, to that room that you need to exactly exactly, So,

760
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 7: when we think about investments, the only non fungible resource

761
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 7: that we have, a resource that we can't give anybody else.

762
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 7: You might have an elderly grandmother or grandfather. You might

763
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 7: want to say, you know what, hey, God give her

764
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 7: six more of my years. It's not possib So when

765
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 7: you realize that your time is non fungible, you have

766
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 7: to be selective in whom you invest that time because

767
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 7: everybody is going to be moving. But it's just like, hey,

768
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 7: you can put your money in a meme stock or

769
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 7: you can put your money in a blue hip megacap

770
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:24,880
Speaker 7: company that's productive, and you can tell. It's almost like

771
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 7: psychologically you can tell within the first just a few

772
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,720
Speaker 7: minutes of meeting someone, you can already tell like whether

773
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 7: or not they're going to actually be let's call it

774
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 7: on the on the type of wavelength that's going to

775
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 7: be commensurate or collaborative or complimentary to what you want

776
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 7: to do, and you got to invest super super in

777
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 7: those relationships. And so listen, you probably have a lot

778
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 7: of people in your phone right now. If I ask

779
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,280
Speaker 7: you to bring out your phone, go to your contact

780
00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 7: scroll all the way to the bottom, you're going to

781
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:02,480
Speaker 7: see two hundred five hun fifteen hundred people, but you're

782
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 7: not talking to those people. So if you're going to

783
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 7: think about what you really want to do and the

784
00:41:07,800 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 7: impact that you want to make and a way that

785
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 7: you want to make it, and the people that you

786
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 7: want around you, like kiss was talking about you need

787
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 7: the best team. Ever, don't accept less than the best

788
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 7: than you can afford, whether through time or money, for

789
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 7: the kinds of teams that you want to build around

790
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 7: the impact that you want to make in the world.

791
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,400

799
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 7: That's the first investment. But I'm not gonna call you.

800
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,160
Speaker 7: You can call me. You can you can get a

801
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 7: time on my calendar. My guys right here, Siki and

802
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 7: Jonathan from Beta Bank. They're building the first black commercial

803
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 7: bank in America where the lending credentials are not predatory,

804
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 7: they're supportive, and they're based on the hustle that we

805
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,360
Speaker 7: have as a community and culture.

806
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 8: They clap it up.

807
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 7: I mean for real, listen, it's for real. But we're

808
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 7: gonna have to do it together. We're gonna have to

809
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 7: do it together. And so the fact that Troy and

810
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,799
Speaker 7: Rashad allow us to have these kind of platforms, to

811
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 7: have these kind of conversations, I think is priceless. And

812
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 7: the panel y'all put together today.

813
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: Five more minutes because I want to ask you. That's

814
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: a question I want to ask.

00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 9: I got one.

816
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 10: Yeah, we're gonna go over this time. Don't worry about that.

817
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 10: We got a new signing. Yeah, he checked this out.

818
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 6: We got that, we got a sign language, a lot

819
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:51,000
Speaker 6: of steps up the budget.

820
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 9: Look at this. I'm gonna just okay, all right.

821
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 10: So I want to talk to all three you because

822
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 10: AI is a conversation that's gonna shift the world. It's

823
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 10: definitely gonna shift they industry, chat, GBT, it's gonna change

824
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 10: the world. And it's already changed the world, and definitely

825
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 10: can change music for sure. When you're talking about I

826
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 10: can have a program and I tell the program I

827
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:19,320
Speaker 10: want three verses that sound like kiss, Big and Nas

828
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 10: and it gives me thirty verses. And I might want

829
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 10: beats that come from Tim and Swiss in for real,

830
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 10: and it gives me seventy beats. And now I can

831
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 10: create music that's disruptive. So I want to I want

832
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 10: to go down the line, man, I want to know

833
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,240
Speaker 10: your thoughts on chat, GBT and AI and the impact

834
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 10: that it can have on music in the future.

835
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 11: I think it's a.

836
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 14: Double ledged sword for if it's interfering with your craft.

837
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 14: But with that being said, I'm an artist, which is

838
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:58,200
Speaker 14: only a stepping stone in what I got in this

839
00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 14: game to do.

840
00:43:59,280 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 9: You know what I mean?

841
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 14: Of course, I wanted to be a successful artist. I

842
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 14: wanted to sell millions of records. I wanted to be

843
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 14: able to change my family's financial situation by my mother house,

844
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 14: all of the things everybody say when they do what

845
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 14: they want to do. But also I knew that this

846
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 14: was only a stepping stone to do other things in

847
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 14: life that I wanted to do.

848
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 11: So do I love it?

849
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 15: No?

850
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 14: But do I accept it and understand that the world's evolving.

851
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: Sure?

852
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 14: And with that being said, don't burn bridges, put more

853
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 14: up and you'll be hid in life and do a

854
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 14: lot of praying.

855
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 10: Don't forget that part. But Russell, what's your thoughts man?

856
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 10: I know technology is to a piece of what you're doing.

857
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it's a beautiful thing because I think

858
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 12: it begins to it begins to expose who's replaceable and

859
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 12: who is it? Right, There's some people where it's like

860
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:02,239
Speaker 12: it shows your impact. There's some people where you could

861
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,360
Speaker 12: get a computer to do their job. There's somewhere you can't.

862
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,799
Speaker 12: And it's going to show that in those people to

863
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 12: where it's like, nah, a computer can't replace this. You

864
00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 12: gotta really come pay for this because I provide true value.

865
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 13: It just changes everything.

866
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 12: You know.

867
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 13: It could be a weapon or a tool. It depends

868
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:23,440
Speaker 13: on which one you using it for, right thoughts.

869
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 7: Man, I think it's an incredible opportunity when you look

870
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,279
Speaker 7: at the landscape of the kinds of jobs. If you

871
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 7: decide that you want to get a job or eventually

872
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 7: you're going to have little ones, right, and you want

873
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 7: them to be set up. I remember a conversation I

874
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 7: was having with Ya and he said, listen, you know school,

875
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 7: I don't believe in traditional school.

876
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:54,080
Speaker 8: I think people should just learn how to use Google.

877
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,759
Speaker 8: Really well, you know what I'm saying.

878
00:45:56,920 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 7: It doesn't sound just like him, right, but but he's

879
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,720
Speaker 7: for real, right, because if you look at chat GPT

880
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 7: for it just came out. It can pass the bar exam.

881
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 9: Right.

882
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 7: So if you actually say, hey, look, you know you

883
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 7: don't necessarily want to hire the super high power, ultra

884
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 7: super duper expensive lawyer.

885
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 8: You can just go to the chat GPTs.

886
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 7: Figure out representation, what's the legal precedent on this?

887
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 8: Right?

888
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:28,359
Speaker 7: So I think really it creates an opportunity, right, So

889
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,040
Speaker 7: first and foremost, don't let it go over your head, right,

890
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 7: find out what you need to find out so that

891
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 7: you can actually have an intelligent discussion about what the

892
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 7: opportunities are that are created from this emergence of technology.

893
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 7: But secondly, they are paying I think multi hundreds of

894
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 7: dollards of dollars a year right now for folks who

895
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 7: are just really good at giving the prompts.

896
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 8: Right. And it's funny because in many ways that's why

897
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 8: Yay's ahead of his time, right.

898
00:46:58,200 --> 00:46:59,919
Speaker 7: He said, well, we just need to learn how to act,

899
00:47:00,680 --> 00:47:03,279
Speaker 7: ask Google what we want to find out.

900
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 8: Right.

901
00:47:04,239 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 7: So now, when we have companies like open ai, the

902
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 7: building technologies like chat GPT, the opportunity for those who

903
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 7: are in this room and just thinking about it. I

904
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 7: heard about this on this conference is learn how to

905
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 7: be a great prompter so that when people do want

906
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 7: to get the best results out of chad GPT, they

907
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 7: know they can call you because you did your research

908
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 7: and you're ahead of you're ahead of the curb. But

909
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 7: I'm always interested in the opportunity that's created when new

910
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 7: technology emerges. And the opportunity is great especially for our people,

911
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 7: for us because we the last ones that they expect

912
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 7: to adopt, embrace, innovate and build on that technology.

913
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, Chat GPT gonna change the game for sure. My

914
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:56,800
Speaker 6: last question is to kiss all. So we was actually

915
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 6: front row at the legendary Versus battle. Couldn't miss that,

916
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 6: no way. That was wonderful folks. So yeah, stellar performance.

917
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 6: Everybody has seen the verses, right, So but what I

918
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,800
Speaker 6: want to talk about with nobody has really talked about.

919
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 6: And I had an inside sauce that told me and

920
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 6: shot out that Dipset one of my favorite groups of

921
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,640
Speaker 6: all time. But they said they was like, you know

922
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 6: what the main difference was, And I'm like what they like?

923
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 6: Dip Set's rehearsal was like ten minutes and it was

924
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 6: like these guys was three hours like the day before,

925
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,439
Speaker 6: like the preparations. Yeah, so that's what people don't talk about,

926
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 6: and that's what they don't know, like talk about the

927
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 6: preparation and the discipline that went in because it's not

928
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 6: like you just had that performance by accident.

929
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 14: I learned from a og in the hood, my man

930
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 14: Pretty Black. He would say, stack your peace and also

931
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:57,319
