37
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: She's not She's fearless because that's what all of people

38
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: do because I met her and radio and so when

39
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: some people start saying I want to do something thelse

40
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: they can get so locked into and comfortable they don't

41
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: do it and so and so, so many different levels

42
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: and so and that was that was that was urban

43
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: radio that she was in, Okay, and then she came

44
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: to now she's coming into another area of UM. I

45
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: want to say, just there's not we don't see many

46
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: black people, won't see many people of color like you two.

47
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: That's why it's so refreshing to see that. And I

48
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: like to believe this is something we're gonna see on

49
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: the regular basis. But and seeing the first two episodes

50
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: of your new series, Marriage to Real Estate with like

51
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: we said, there's a discovery. Plus I found a family

52
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: environment that I was engaged with. But more importantly, this

53
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: is what y'all do. I never questioned that you guys

54
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: who are prop I never called you. I'm saying that

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: that's what can happen. You know, they get a cute

56
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: couple like you guys, you got the cute little children.

57
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: You know, they said y'all be a great TV show.

58
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: It's no doubt in my mind this is what y'all do.

59
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: But each but I have to go back to this

60
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: because you know this is I call this my masterclass series.

61
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 1: Because you're talking about people in a market. Now we

62
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 1: all know it's hard to get a home out that nowadays, Okay,

63
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: it's it's it's sometimes thirty people waiting on the same

64
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: building and trying to call their home. How did y'all

65
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: How did y'all able? How are we all able to

66
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: do a series and this type of real estate boom

67
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: where homes are scarce and people are trying to make

68
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: a decision on different properties while you're doing the show. So, Rishan,

69
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a real estate Broker's what I've done

70
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: for you know, twenty years, and that also means that

71
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: I've lived through and strived through and grew through every

72
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: real estate environment. You know, when the bubble bursts and

73
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, people were losing their houses and needed to

74
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: be saved with short you know, from foreclosures with short sales.

75
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: I coached them through it and help clients through that.

76
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: Now we're in an environment where first time home buyers

77
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: are being edged out completely. Even experienced home buyers are

78
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: like one of thirty different offers and listenings are going

79
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: for fifty six seventy thousand over asks the price. I mean,

80
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: it's crazy out here right now, but I think that

81
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: this is what I've been built for. If that makes sense,

82
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: all these years of working, through living, through existing, through buying,

83
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: through renovating, through in our own lives has prepared us

84
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: for this moment where we can help our clients through

85
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: and there if I if I told you the house

86
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: and I would be I would be giving away all

87
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: my tricks of the trade, m when I go up

88
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: against other offers. So I won't go there. But what

89
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: I will say is stay encouraged. And if you're in

90
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: the market to buy a home, make sure all real

91
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: estate agents were not created equal. They were not. You

92
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: take a you take a class, you get a license

93
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: if you pass the test. But what you want is

94
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: a season to experience shown improving real estate professional who

95
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: can coach you and come up with a strategy to

00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: the we're shying. I don't think he knows the full

122
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: story that that's how we met. It is how we met. Yes,

124
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: do on the show anyway that It's not that I

125
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: was trying not to take up too much of the time.

126
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, this is a masterclass we're teaching. We're

127
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: educating people about this beautiful couple. Here's what was all

128
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: my mind is why I didn't want to talk too

129
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: much about me, because I wanted to piggyback off of

130
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 1: the discussion you brought up in the beginning. As far

131
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: as we're not being feeless, she's beyond not feelings. She's

132
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: also selfless. She's despite to where she doesn't worry about

133
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: what everyone else is gonna think, despite of what's cool

134
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: or despite what's hot at the moment, She's gonna do

135
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: what's gonna make sense for are and what is going

136
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: to be successful for those around her, meaning family. It's

137
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: not about the business or the hype of the business.

138
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: It is about, Okay, what's smart for the moment and

139
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 1: what's gonna make sense in the future. So that's what

140
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to touch on them. That's why I can

141
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: go for much think I'll keep you. Thank you so.

142
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: But yes, we met in the early stages. I was

143
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: actually DJ and I still do periodic radio DJ. I

144
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: tell you when I met you I was a radio

145
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: DJ was radio okay in worldwide. You know. We met

146
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: in three separate incidents, but one of them took us

147
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: back to where I ended up on a rooftop with

148
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: her because she had her foot. Mioll stuck in the room,

149
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: you know, trying excuse the shelf the story, please, okay, okay, okay. So,

150
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: so I was flipping houses in Newark, New Jersey, while

151
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: I was a radio personality in New York City, right,

152
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: And I'm a scorpio, And what that kind of means

153
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: is if you back me into a corner, my stinger

154
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: comes up and sometimes goes over well, but not always

155
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 1: over overwhelming business. And so what happened was all my

156
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: contractors walked off the job because I came off a

157
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: way hard. It's hard to be a woman working in

158
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: construction as well. You know, men don't always take that well.

159
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: And so when you kind of come also, and that's

160
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: part of the country, I'm just really chauvinistic. Well just

161
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: I can tend for a fact, I lived in New York,

162
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: I've lived all this. It gets really chauvinistic in that

163
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: northeast part of the country, especialist Jersey area. It does

164
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 1: so so they walked off the job, and I later

165
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: found myself trying to tar a hole in the roof

166
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: by myself and I fell through the roof, and in

167
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: that moment I realized I needed some help. I called

168
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: my mentor at the time, who referred him, And when

169
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: he pulled up, I'm like, what are you doing here?

170
00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: You're a dj that's funny. That's on it rocking rooftop baby,

171
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: right right right, right, right right right, I'm a movie

172
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: walk all over this rooftop, baby, rock your world. I

173
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: didn't know he was. I didn't know he was really

174
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: also a businessman, and you know, he was a contractor,

175
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: and you know that that Djane was a facet of

176
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: what he did, but it wasn't all that all of

177
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: who he was. And we kind of fell in love

178
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: over that renovation. You saved my life, saved the shoe

179
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: for shore, You saved a shoe for show for shot

180
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 1: that you know. The interesting thing about and that didn't

181
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: even say interesting, is that, you know, I tell everybody

182
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: and when I look at television now, television is so

183
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: fun for a person of color to me now, because

184
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: I see us on television on long stories, I see

185
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 1: us in commercials in a racial commercials all it's it's

186
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: all kind of things that really make you feel comfortable

187
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: when you turn on the TV and make you comfortablehen

188
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: you walk in the street. Here, Okay, I guess you

189
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: were cool now in a way because you can see

190
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 1: me banking, me dating, me, having my my Santa Claus

191
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: is black, all that good stuff. And so our president

192
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 1: was black. Yeah, so not advice president is black. So

193
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, stuff becomes a little normal. We know it's

194
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 1: not all normal, but the watching the show, um and

195
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: seeing you guys, what do you think is the most

196
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: magical thing about you as a couple on TV talking

197
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: to people, encouraging them making life decisions and then showing

198
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: them that this is the best opportunity to move their

199
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: life forward. Sometimes it's a couple and sometimes as a family.

200
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: I think that for us, we have these conversations often,

201
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: right because as a black family, um, you know, on

202
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 1: national television where you're not just talking to an African

203
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: American audience, you know, questions come up. Even an advisory

204
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: if you know what I mean, you're you're an advisor

205
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: as well, so you know, an advisory, it's you know,

206
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: what do we need to change anything to appeal to

207
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 1: the masses. And I think for us the blessing in

208
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: this entire experience, as no one has asked us to

209
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: change a thing. Like I was on the Today Show

210
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: this morning in dreadlocks. You know what I mean? I

211
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: there there, God is locks. There, God is locks. But no,

212
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: I think, like Funday when I think about it, like Monday,

213
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: I shot a commercial, a commercial for the International Excuse me,

214
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I I shot a commercial for the Intercontinental

215
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: Exchange for US stock market, and no one asked me

216
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: to tone down anything like no attitude, no blackness, no nothing.

217
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: On our show, that's very much who we are, and

218
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: our network h G TV loves it like we want,

219
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: we want you just as you are. I think that

220
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: that is a blessing in it and just this whole

221
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: experience our show, the idea that you know, we are

222
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: a black family successful. You know, we have beautiful children

223
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: who are sweet, who are educated. We're together, we're you know,

224
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: we're married. We don't have a a broken home, which

225
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: is what people stereotypically expect. We don't fight. There's no

226
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: drama or gossip out fear about us and you know,

227
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: cheating and all this not. People kind of expect that

228
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: when they see African American families on TV that there's

229
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,559
Speaker 1: gonna come a whole bag of tricks with it. And

230
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: the blessing in this experience, not only that we get

231
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: to do it together, is that there's no drama, and

232
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: so we're showing we can do it too. We are

233
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: doing it too. We've always been here. Thank god, you're

234

00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: with Rashan McDonald. Hey, Mike, I want to say this, Mike, Mike.

275
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: She kind of said she tries to set you up

276
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: a couple of times, you know, when she comes in

277
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: the room, this little baby, just this little baby, and

278
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: then she references, Oh, you're trying to say something about

279
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: my week. I said, oh no, just try to set up.

280
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 1: No by just try to set you up. So about

281
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: to feedback over that as well as and answer your

282
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: question with the magic part. I think the magic in

283
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 1: it is that we are really doing the work right.

284
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: We don't step in and then say cut, okay, somebody

285
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: else come and do this. Yes, you see a couple,

286
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: not just a black couple, a couple that is universally

287
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: appealing to the masses. Right. It's positive. It's full of family,

288
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 1: it's full of education, it's full of information, right to

289
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: where you can say, Okay, I'm used to this. This

290
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: sounds familiar, This looks familiar. I'm tuning in. But I

291
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: think what's what it's good too, is you also see

292
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of our masks. You know, you can

293
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: drive my craze what you're gonna do with my part?

294
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: My he my boy, not my boy. It's like I said,

295
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 1: I just showed you all to examples when you trying

296
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: to set them up. You know what I'm saying, you know,

297
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 1: talking about baby, I think I eat too much? Now,

298
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: I think I've eaten too much baby? Where you think

299
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: uh that I'm not answering that question of TV. No,

300
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: you ain't doing me like that, honey. You know, that's

301
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: the fun part of what I'm talking about, this relationship,

302
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: because that's what I'm doing by life, you know, because

303
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: but it's captured on film organically, and I'm gonna be

304
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: real about it. It ain't even by race. Now, it's

305
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: about join a couple. And that gives me information because

306
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: I watched these shows. These are the type of shows

307
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: that will be running where you're the car dealerships, sitting

308
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: there wait on your call, these type calls, This type

309
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: of shows that are running when you're waiting there in

310
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: the hospital lobby, these type of shows that are just running.

311
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: They're so comfortable because they're so informative. And that's the

312
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: part of it that I love, because I love that

313
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: part where you know you you walk them through the house,

314
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, and that's the part where you know people

315
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: know what they're talking about when you because people really

316
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: they're about to give their life to you. And in

317
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: some of these houses that you're walking in, you can't

318
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: be so forceful that you feel like this is it

319
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: a y'all? But that part walks through that whole part

320
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 1: of creating that organic relationship. Mike as a builder because

321
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: she's the face of the she's the dreamer, but you

322
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: have to put it together. And then she comes in

323
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: and she had changed on you. Well, why I didn't

324
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: want it like that? I mean, like, come on, don't

325
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 1: do Mike like that on film. Don't do them like

326
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: that on film. But he laughs at I loved it.

327
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: I loved I loved it. I loved it. When the

328
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 1: floor was gold and other floor was browned on the

329
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: floor with this you go, oh baby, where I got you?

330
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: I got you? And she walked, Okay, well I'll be

331
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 1: back walking walking in. I'll just tell you a couple

332
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 1: of things that really messed him up. She on the

333
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: construction side, y'all. She walking there with hills on, open top,

334
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: open toes, open toes. Here because Mike saying, Mike, my day.

335
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: I might be with my real estate clients, I still

336
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: need to look professional. They don't understand me coming in

337
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: and work through Mike. You're talking talk to me. Mike

338
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,440
Speaker 1: talked to me. Mike said, you're gonna used to step

339
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: on the nail, used step on. I thought I thought

340
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: me and you were friends. Now you take it his side,

341
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: because you know, the thing about it is that you

342
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: know in these shows, because you know, like I said,

343
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: I love the fact that the potential of who y'all

344
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: are to me. I'm comfortable. I want to watch, I

345
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 1: want to learn. I want to say, can I get that?

346
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: Can I get them to do that to my house?

347
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: That's what I know. It's special because I'm going like,

348
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: because you know, I've done a lot of remodeling. You know,

349
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: I have people in my house, going so how are

350
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 1: you pulling that off? That? And it looks so beautiful.

351
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: But again, like I was saying, Mike, you are the builder.

352
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: You know, she comes up with these pricings. Well, we

353
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: can only do it for a hundred thousand. We can

354
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 1: do and they don't know that the gas meter sitting

355
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: over there with the window gonna be you know what

356
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Don't know that though, you know, but she's

357
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: gonna tell everybody We're gonna put a window there. You

358
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: gotta come in and go, hey baby, it's a gas

359
00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: meter there. Um, we'll take care, honey, I love you. Yeah,

360
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: she she you know, she'll give them, um the division,

361
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: your sir, and then I will, uh you know, softly

362
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: bring it back down to reality, make them feel comfortable. Um,

363
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: allow them to trust me, you know, one with smart decisions,

364
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: showing them how we can get there and for some

365
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: reason they can't afford how we can get there doing

366
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 1: for less, but by doing different options. Right. Um. I

367
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: think it's all about listening and letting them speak and

368
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 1: let them be heard, allowing them to let you know

369
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: exactly what they want, and then you coming in and

370
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: making it feel relatable. You know what I love about

371
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: this man and why why this works is because he

372
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: lets me be me. He knows that you're right. I'm

373
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: a dreamer, I'm a visionary. I'm gonna show everything in

374
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: its purest potential. Um and he'll let me live that

375
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: out and then he'll humbly bring everybody back down the earth.

376
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: That's everything that he does. He even I get car sick, uh,

377
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: you know, so I have to drive, and that's when

378
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: when anybody's driving, Even if someone sends a car with

379
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: a driver for me, I'm like, I don't know if

380
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: I want I want to drive because I get really

381
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: car sick. You know a lot of men Rashan wouldn't

382
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: be comfortable with their wife behind the wheel, if you

383
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,679
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So for on, for seventeen and

384
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: a half years, he'll sit in the passenger seat, but

385
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: and let me drive and be okay with that, you know,

386
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 1: And he still believe. He still leaves our family even

387
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: break absolutely absolutely, absolutely absolutely absolutely worried about that seven

388
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: year itch. You know what I'm saying, that seven year itch.

389
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,199
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. But you know, the beauty

390
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: of all if we go through the episodes, you don't

391
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: do this show a loan. You have three or wonderful children.

392
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: They're girls. They're the part of the show. Andreaged part

393
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: of the show, like part of the show talk about

394
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: the overall casting and the need to organically, you know,

395
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: introduce your family. And like I said, I've only told

396
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: the first two episodes, so more people are going to

397
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: be introduced. What was the whole theory behind the introduction.

398
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: Are you trying to just let everybody know this is

399
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: us or what was the whole background behind that whole process.

400
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 1: I think people had to kind of get to know

401
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 1: us first, right, who who each of this, Who my kids,

402
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: who we are as a couple, who we are as

403
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 1: a family with our children. But really, for our business

404
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: is to work, we could never do it alone. We

405
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: got a whole army behind us, um and we want

406
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 1: people to embrace them as well normally with normalcy. So

407
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: you know, we kind of gotta ease him and let

408
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: you let you learn everybody. So Andre is a designer

409
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: friend of mine. He's super talented. He's done some of

410
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: the biggest design houses in Atlanta and all over the country.

411
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: But but really, when everything's off and we let our

412
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: hair down, He's one of my best friends. So he's

413
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: the person that I call if I'm like, I can't

414
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: figure out this room. I need some input, right, you know.

415
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: And and when I'm I'm doing my my child's room,

416
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: it's like I want I need second eyes. But Mike

417
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 1: can't stand it. Whenever my phone is digging from my

418
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 1: bank notifications. Andre has very high elite taste. You know.

419
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: I do everything kind of on the budget on my own,

420
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: but when he comes in, the price triples. So Mike's

421
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 1: I love you, but you gotta go, bro. But let's

422
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: let's talk about the pricing and all that, because you

423
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: know this is we're not talking about to see it.

424
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: But that's that's that's where the experience comes in. That's

425
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 1: when to walk into a property and give an estimate

426
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,880
Speaker 1: of what it's gonna take to get there. And Mike,

427
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to you as a builder, as a

428
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,200
Speaker 1: person who really is the nuts and boats of renovation.

429
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: How how does that process work for you that you

430
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: trust your natural instincts or do you have a roller

431
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: dex did you just go you fall back on to

432
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: be able to make sure that you hit that number. Yeah, well,

433
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: a lot of relationships for one, um with subs, with

434
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: a lot of big box stores, with a lot of friends.

435
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: You know, so those relationships, I keep those in mind

436
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: as I'm going through properties. But in this day and

437
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: age where wood and materials of fluctuating in price and

438
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: sometimes over priced, I have to get creative, you know,

439
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 1: where we go to refurbished properties or refurbished warehouses and

440
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: use materials or I use things that I may have

441
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: in my warehouse, you know. Um, yeah, we actually did

442
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 1: that on some of the episodes, where we reuse things

443
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: and repurpose them right and make them updated. You know,

444
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: it's not always about let's let's demolish this and make

445
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: a great scene. It's about let's do those smart decisions

446
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 1: that's gonna make sense. So we can't hit that target. Yeah,

447
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 1: but Rashan, sometimes we gotta give the bad news. You know,

448
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: the bad news is this is your budget, but we

449
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: just can't do it for that budget because the reality

450
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: is stuff stot of stop right now. We're still in

451
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: the pandemic and materials are sparse. So you know, it

452
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: made cost forty more than it would have cost last

453
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: year or six six months ago. Um, that's when I

454
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: let him get the bad news material And not only

455
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: have materials went up, but the price of laborers went

456
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 1: up as well. Right, so people are extremely shocked by pricing.

477
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you something. I'm humble when I

478
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: say that because I'm blessed that I can say that

479
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,400
Speaker 1: I could have said this five years ago. That's how

480
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: times have changed. You guys are landing at the right

481
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: time on TV. It's nothing on that show that I

482
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: was not disappointed, and I was. It was funny, it

483
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: was organic, it was natural, and I felt like it

484
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,160
Speaker 1: was a couple just happens to have a camera were

485
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: following them around on a rebuild. That's all I saw.

486
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 1: That means a lot coming from you. We know you

487
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: know talent. We know that you you know you helped

488
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: mold talent as well. Um, and I actually remember a conversation.

489
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember it, but I'm gonna

490
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: take you down memory lane just a little bit before

491
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: we go. I was working at w BLS in New

492
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: York City. I want to say this was about thirteen

493
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: years ago. Well but thirteen years ago. Uh, And I said,

494
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: for Sean, I gotta keep this on the down low.

495
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: But I'm thinking about making the move to Atlanta, and

496
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: I know that you're in Atlanta. What do you think

497
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: is that a good move for me? And you said,

498
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,479
Speaker 1: come on, come over here to my office, which by

499
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: the way, happened to be like a little production client

500
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: at that moment. That moment, and you sat me down

501
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: and you said, this, this is the deal. Atlanta is

502
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: for big dogs. Everybody's a star in Atlanta. Everybody's got

503
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: something going on in Atlanta. You got some incredible young

504
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,959
Speaker 1: black entrepreneur is there. And so if you come in Atlanta,

505
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 1: you gotta have your stuff together. So you get your

506
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: game plan first and then you work your plan. I

507
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: don't know if you if you remember this conversation, but

508
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 1: it sticks out to me because moving here from New

509
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: York after cementing myself as a radio personality there for

510
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: many years, was a big, bold move and it was

511
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: you know, it took a lot of you know, it

512
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: took a lot of guns, and you know for us

513
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: to just say we're gonna take a chance and bet

514
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: on ourselves and rebuild in an entirely different city where

515
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: we didn't know anybody. And it had several great conversations

516
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: because you know, she followed us Steve Harvey, now you know,

517
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,320
Speaker 1: and so we was always talking about Raidis, always talking

518
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 1: about winning, always talking about But one thing I did

519
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: like about us she always had multiple strings of income.

520
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: Yeah see right there, she was my friend because that's

521
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: important in today's society to be able to wake up

522
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 1: and realize you have options. And when I sat down,

523
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: I remember that conversation because it's funny, Egypt, I get

524
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,680
Speaker 1: that a lot from people. To Shane, you mean when

525
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 1: you told me this, and I have an honest side

526
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 1: of me that I'm gonna tell you, look, you need

527
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: to stay up here. This hit. But I knew that

528
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,360
Speaker 1: she had a sense of the gift to be able

529
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: to do more. But if you go down there, know

530
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: what you're walking into because it's going to happen. And

531
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: guess what, everything's time that right, it is the new Hollywood.
