Speaker 5: the phone and I could be staggering it right now

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 5: trying to figure out what my next move is they

22
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 5: could be like, yo, I just did this man, that

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 5: just motivated. It's just like you just plugged me up

24
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 5: to iPhone, like I'm charged again, Like I get charged

25
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 5: off of that. But some people with no drive, they

26
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 5: get dismotivated. They got they don't know how to understand that.

27
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 5: Like that's the part that you get happy of it

28
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 5: when you hear somebody doing good, so you could do better.

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,400

30
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,520

31
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:27,959

Speaker 7: a there was a range of emotions on that episode.

42
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 7: I'm not saying that you have to shed it to

43
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 7: but that did happen.

44
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:07,320

Speaker 4: All good bro.

61
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 6: So all right, let's get into this. Eight locations right,

62
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 6: seven in Atlanta, one in Charlotte. So I want to

63
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 6: talk about Like most people when they start to scale,

64
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 6: they look at like different cities. Right, you put a

65
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,799
Speaker 6: lot of locations in a relatively small area in Atlanta.

66
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 6: What was the thought process behind? Like most people to

67
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 6: think that's like oversaturation, right, Like, what's the thought process

68
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 6: before expanding really just you know, drilling down on where

69
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 6: you were.

70
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: Well.

71
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 5: I think for the Big Days brand, what we was

72
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 5: trying to do is control the market.

73
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: Like you got all up north.

74
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 5: You know, you got Philly, New York, Jersey, Baltimore, they

75
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: already got you know, cheese steaks. They grew up off

76
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 5: of them, and it's been in the culture for a

77
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 5: long time. So I wanted to bring cheese steaks to

78
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 5: the South, you know, the Southeast, take over that whole situation.

79
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 5: And I just taking my time, and I've seen places

80
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 5: that it was needed. Like I wasn't even gonna pay

81
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 5: any more locations in Georgia than I put one in Lawrenceville,

82
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 5: and Lawrenceville might be my highest Drewson location. So it's

83
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 5: like every time I think about leaving Atlanta, it's still

84
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 5: spots that it still wants it. And right now I

85
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 5: feel good about leaving Atlanta because Charlotte, they showed out.

86
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 3: We brought the food truck there.

87
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 5: Man, it was like, honestly, it was about five hundred

88
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 5: people online and I was just like, you know, they

89
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 5: ready for a Big Days. I still control the market

90
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 5: because in the Southeast, wherever you put a restaurant that

91
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 5: you want to try to put like two or three

92
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 5: of them there so that you can control.

93
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: The ordering demand. Like right now, you know, if you're.

94
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 5: Going through Cisco or US Foods or Gordon, any of

95
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 5: those people that you're using, you want to be able

96
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 5: to order large quantities so that you can control the

97
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 5: ordering demand.

98
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 4: Talk about that. Can you break that down a little bit?

99
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, So, like for example, if right now, if one

100
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 5: of my locations and I'm just start out there, one

101
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 5: of my locations did a couple thousand pounds a b

102
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 5: for week. If I can now control the market, will

103
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 5: ordering fifteen twenty thousand pounds? I now can get it

104
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 5: at a lower cost. That helps out my bottom lines.

105
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 5: So a lot of people don't know. They try to

106
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 5: you know, everything is top line heavy, everything is sell

107
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 5: self sell. But in the real world, when the investors

108
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 5: looking at you and how to scale, they looking at

109
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 5: your bottom line, they looking at your four wall contribution,

110
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 5: you're eble to all those things make sense. So I

111
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 5: knew nothing about a lot of these things till over

112
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 5: the years. You know, when I run in to investors

113
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 5: or different rooms, or you know, just talking to individuals

114
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 5: that's at a place where I'm trying to get to.

115
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 5: Those are the things that were you know, that really

116
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 5: mattered and resonated to me. So right now we're controlling

117
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 5: the market, We're trying to go to places that people

118
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 5: really don't you know, they ain't paying attention to. But

119
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 5: you know, it got a little bit of hope there

120
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 5: because we know we come there, we're giving people jobs,

121
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 5: we bringing up the community and Big Davis, you know

122
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 5: it's a food element, but we're more of community driven

123
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 5: and we're more bringing people up.

124
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 7: So when you're talking about scaling, we're going from the

125
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 7: gas station to eight locations. We talked about p and LS,

126
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 7: talked about Eve. At what point did you start focusing

127
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 7: in on.

128
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 5: That when I started, When I to be honest, when

129
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 5: I started going out to get investment, I already knew

130
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 5: I had the top line sales.

131
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 3: I was always blessed with having customers.

132
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 5: After Eve, you know, she came out in twenty fifteen,

133
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 5: I really ain't had a problem ever getting the customer

134
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 5: because I already knew I had something good.

135
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 3: I just had to wait for the world to see it.

136
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: And when the world's seen it, they supported it.

137
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 5: And when somebody supports something you could have so much

138
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 5: of it, you know, and then you still might not

139
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 5: get a profit out of it because you don't know

140
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 5: what you're doing. So for me, I just had to

141
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: go get people that were smarter than me, that been

142
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 5: in that field that could help me, you know, get

143
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 5: to where I'm trying to go. So two, I would

144
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 5: say twenty twenty twenty twenty one, I started focusing more

145
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 5: on team strategy up top corporate level, like what can

146
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 5: help me get to the next level that I don't know?

147
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 5: I already know. I'm a mass marketer. People love me,

148
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 5: they love my energy. There's nothing fake about me. I

149
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 5: give my alle to the people every single day. But

150
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 5: nothing don't matter if you can't scale the business. And

151
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,039
Speaker 5: I didn't build no mom and pop. I built this

152
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 5: for my dad to be all over the country, and

153
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:41,359
Speaker 5: that's what I'm gonna do.

154
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 6: So you said you raised capital, right, Yeah, welcome through

155
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 6: that process, Like, well, when did you decide to raise

156
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 6: capital and what was the process of actually raising them?

157
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 5: I just started to raise capital on like twenty twenty

158
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one, and the process is really you can

159
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 5: getting all your books together, you got your deck, you know,

160
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 5: you got your plan on what your future look like,

161
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 5: how many locations you're trying to open with this money

162
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 5: that you're trying to raise. All those things matter, but

163
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: you can have something special when then somebody could say,

164
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 5: you know what, you got something special, but you got

165
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 5: to change some things around in your corporate You got

166
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 5: to do certain things. And for me, those were some

167
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 5: of the things that I had to face because I

168
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 5: got this hot business.

169
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 3: I got everybody.

170
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 5: I can't even walk the streets without people coming up

171
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 5: to me, you know, take a picture, or they tell me,

172
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 5: you know, I'm changing their lives, or some guys telling

173
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 5: me I help them get out the streets. So when

174
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 5: somebody telling you right now you need to change something,

175
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 5: You're like, bro, I'm on fire right now. But you

176
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 5: got to really tuck your ego in and say listen,

177
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 5: I got to get myself together for people to take

178
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 5: me serious. So I've been getting my stuff together for

179
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 5: a couple of years. I sat down and really just

180
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 5: focus on, you know, what's the best for me and

181
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 5: a brand, and That's what I've been doing.

182
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: And this year coming is going to be my.

183
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 5: Biggest year of my career because this is my season,

184
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 5: this is my time and it's now.

185
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 7: So when you're coming up to plan to investment, you

186
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 7: haven't mind a certain number of restaurants you want to

187
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 7: get to at a certain cost that's associated with you.

188
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 7: How did you equate to Is it strictly on sales

189
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 7: or was it the bottom line this is going to

190
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 7: cost to be here? On how you tested the markets.

191
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 5: That you well, right after the pandemic, you know, we

192
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 5: went through a crazy inflation.

193
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 3: You know we cost. I used to be able to

194
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 3: build a big days for.

195
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 5: A half a million dollars. Now you know it's north

196
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 5: for seven hundred. So like you know, things changed with

197
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 5: the market. So what we do now is we try

198
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 5: to buy and balk. Like right now, by I know

199
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 5: I'm about to open up five locations, I'm now searching

200
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 5: for five hoods. I'm looking for the Fyers, I'm looking

201
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 5: for all the grills all at the same time, so

202
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 5: I can control the price better. Because listen, all this

203
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 5: goes into your eble as a loss. When you're building

204
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 5: these locations, you could be making a bunch of money

205
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 5: all year long.

206
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 3: But if you're.

207
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 5: Building restaurants all year long, you're taking losses all year long.

208
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: Because that's what's on your taxes.

209
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 5: So you got to know what's good for you and

210
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 5: your brand when you want to raise money and how

211
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 5: you want to do it. So for me, I was

212
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 5: in a like a kind of like a quick saying

213
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 5: situation because I got something hot and now I got

214
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 5: my landmark location doing really really well, and people knowing

215
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 5: about everything I'm going now they saying when.

216
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: Is the next location opening?

217
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 5: You know, when you're doing good, just like with you guys,

218
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 5: like they want to know what's the next thing y'all

219
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 5: got coming. It's never enough even with yourself. You know,

220
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 5: some days you can wake up in the morning and

221
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 5: be like, you know, I'm doing good, but I could

222
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 5: do better. And that's just the momentum I always had,

223
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 5: and that's how I carry with the brand. And I

224
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 5: think that's the reason why I never gave up the

225
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 5: number one thing for me in business. I'm always willing

226
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 5: to learn, I'm always willing to listen. But I know

227
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 5: that I'm meant to be here, and I know that

228
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 5: any room I step in, I belong there. And that's

229
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 5: the thing that people got to understand, Like you can't

230
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 5: go in on room begging, you can't go on room

231
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 5: asking you got to come in the room knowing you

232
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 5: belong there.

233
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 6: So talk about your Mercedes ben stadium. Yeah, how did

234
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 6: that happen? You know, it's so crazy that happened. That

235
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 6: happened by a mistake.

236
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 3: Honestly. We got asked to do training camp and we

237
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 3: was doing real well.

238
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 4: In trading camp.

239
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, just a player training camp. We bring a food

240
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 5: truck there and it did really well. The lines was long,

241
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 5: and you know, the opportunity came to say, you know

242
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 5: what about you guys, you know coming in the stadium.

243
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 5: And before we came in the stadium, I got a

244
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 5: chance to talk to some high ups and I really

245
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 5: just told them what I wanted.

246
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: I told them we would change the culture in the stadium.

247
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 5: I told them that we will be one of the

248
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 5: highest grossing restaurants in the stadium. Everything I told them

249
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 5: we backed up so far. So I feel good about that.

250
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 5: But I just wanted to come in there for the

251
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 5: opportunity to say that I know that sixty five seventy

252
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 5: thousand people coming these games on Sundays soccer games, you

253
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 5: know that might not be my demographics. And I had

254
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 5: the opportunity now to show the world what I have,

255
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 5: and I thought that was special by being in the stadium.

256
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 4: So how does that work?

257
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 6: How does that work though, because so a regular restaurant

258
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 6: you open seven days a week, this week whatever, right,

259
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 6: a stadium might only be open one day a week

260
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 6: or two days a week, depended on for a couple

261
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 6: of hours. But it's sixty thousand people that's coming in.

262
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 6: So as a business owner, how's running that business different

263
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 6: than running a regular restaurant.

264
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 5: It's actually a lot different because you got all these

265
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 5: people that got got to get served that halftime, so

266
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 5: you got a little window. So it actually helped my

267
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 5: operations to be honest, because when somebody ordered the food,

268
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 5: they go pay for it. You passing them to food

269
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 5: like here you go, here you go, you know, they

270
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 5: taking the order. And then my breaking water locations. That

271
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 5: helped out my operations because I remember times when people

272
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 5: will raad hours for the food. You know, we get

273
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 5: a line of two three hundred people. People be waiting

274
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 5: three four hours to get an order. But that's not

275
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 5: no more because now my operations got tighter just from

276
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 5: being in the stadium and hiring the right operators I

277
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 5: needed to get me better. But right now in the stadium.

278
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 5: When you order the food, you get it on the

279
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 5: go like they don't.

280
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: Have to wait. It's already prepared.

281
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 5: And I think that's what helped us out make us

282
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 5: so special when stay because a lot of places still

283
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 5: are cooking the food.

284
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 3: You gotta wait for it, and we want to we

285
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: want to be special with that.

286
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 7: So how does this work from a standpoint that you're

287
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 7: in the stadium. You get to lease your space because

288
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 7: you went from the lines being so long and having

289
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 7: won that they have to give you two and then

290
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 7: they have to give you a third location. So do

291
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 7: you have to lease the spaces and then there's a

292
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 7: portion of the sales that goes back to the stae

293
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 7: houses work.

294
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, they get a portion of the seals.

295
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 5: But I got a good deal. I got a great deal.

296
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 5: I can tell they wanted us there. But like I said,

297
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 5: in life, if you don't ask for what you want,

298
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 5: you'll never get it. I came in there stirring about

299
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 5: what I wanted and we backed it up. But it

300
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 5: feels good right now that I can say that we

301
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 5: have carts like literally y'all know the carts, like just like.

302
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 3: Out there in New York on the corners.

303
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 5: We got carts and it's people with four fledged restaurants

304
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 5: in there and were the king, you know, And that's

305
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 5: how I feel like we're going to do anywhere we go.

306
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 5: And it's just me being humble. But I know what

307
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 5: this brand represents. I know with the world been waiting for,

308
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 5: and I know we got something that's real, authentic that's

309
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 5: never been out to try. State people tried to do

310
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 5: what I've done and haven't been successful doing it because

311
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,599
Speaker 5: either they gave up because it got too hard, or

312
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 5: they couldn't find out how to get the product so far,

313
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,559
Speaker 5: you know, from up north. But I figured out all

314
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 5: these things. It might have took me eight and a

315
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 5: half almost nine years, but it took KFC was like

316
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,599
Speaker 5: what he was sixty five when he came out with

317
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 5: his business. So a lot of these people, you know,

318
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 5: they took their time to make something special. Everybody thinks

319
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 5: something supposed to happen overnight. I'm pretty sure y'all was

320
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 5: doing this podcast and stuff early before people even knew

321
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 5: y'all existed, But they only going to see what y'all

322
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 5: do right now. And I feel like that's what a

323
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,719
Speaker 5: lot a lot of my story I took people with me,

324
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 5: like I let them see the gas station location.

325
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 3: I let them see me coming in there seven days

326
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 3: a week grinding.

327
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 5: Not a lot of employees, A lot of them see

328
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 5: the imperfections, and now they see perfection.

329
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: They see they can see where you grew from.

330
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 7: Is it only exclusive to the Falcons games and the

331
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 7: soccer team games or do you have access to when

332
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 7: concerts and tours come to.

333
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 5: No, everybody. When the door is open, we open, gotcha. Yeah,

334
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 5: that's type deal we got.

335
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 3: We open.

336
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 6: So like the employees are like, how's that work for

337
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 6: employees though? Because they might be off four days and

338
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 6: have to work three days in a row.

339
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 5: Now, so my employees, they still they work in my

340
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 5: food truck.

341
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 3: They do catering.

342
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 5: So I got a whole catering department, right, So the

343
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 5: catering department, some of them will go to the games

344
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 5: on the days that the stadium's open, or they'll be

345
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 5: on the food truck and where some people will be

346
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 5: doing personal orders.

347
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 4: That get you have different shifts. Yeah, no, you know

348
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 4: the schedule and then you just schedule it out.

349
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 5: Yeah. So like right now, just give example, I got

350
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 5: probably one hundred and thirty one hundred and forty employees,

351
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 5: and some of the employees are not staging to one location.

352
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 5: Some of them, you know, we rotate and then some

353
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 5: of them, you know, they just like field managers where

354
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 5: they drive around and make sure that the quality of

355
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 5: the food is good, make sure the customer service. Like

356
00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 5: I got secret shoppers that popping on the location. So

357
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 5: I try to keep everything tight because I know that

358
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 5: we're about to scale really really fast, and I want

359
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 5: to make sure that everything is right.

360
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 7: I've been around you enough now to know that you're

361
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 7: always sticking forward. Oh yeah, and so you got me

362
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 7: Sades Benz. They have eight to nine home games a year.

363
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, right next door you've got State FUM.

364
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

365
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 7: And so is that something indivisual because you could have

366
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 7: eight home games or you could have forty one home

367
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 7: games when you're playing them.

368
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: Honestly, that's in the works. I've been around you looking

369
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 3: up now.

370
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 5: It's in the works. But we're just trying to take

371
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 5: the opportunities that come to us. We ain't saying no,

372
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 5: and we ain't saying yes to everything. We're saying what

373
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 5: makes sense, and that makes sense. So when that come around,

374
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 5: y'all be there. But I just want to be, like,

375
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 5: I want to be the good representation of Atlanta. But

376
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 5: not only that. It's not I'm gonna say this humbly,

377
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 5: it's not entrepreneurs right now. To have my background to

378
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 5: where I'm at right now in life, and we got

379
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 5: to celebrate that. Like I feel like, you know, I

380
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 5: got to keep going and keep going harder so people

381
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 5: can understand that if you ain't go to college and

382
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 5: all you got is a high school diploma, you don't

383
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 5: got that your background ain't that neat.

384
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: You've been in trouble.

385
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 5: You know, you might not look like the rest, You

386
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 5: got tattoos all over your body, you.

387
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: Might look like a rapper the most.

388
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 5: But I'm an entrepreneur and I'm a serial entrepreneur, and

389
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 5: I'm a big dog and I get respected on the

390
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 5: highest levels because all the hard work I put out.

391
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 5: But I want the world to see that. I want

392
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 5: kids to understand that they ain't never stuck. There's always

393
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 5: a way out as long as you keep your ten

394
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 5: toes down to the ground, keep your legs moving, your

395
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 5: mind thinking you always got away.

396
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 4: So you say you have secret shop, but talk about that.

397
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, So like I might, you might be a secret shopper.

398
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 3: You might call me one day and say, yo, damn,

399
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 3: come to get some food, or you know what I'm saying.

400
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 5: I might be like, all, yo, give me a honest feedback,

401
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 5: you know, Like I try to not use, you know,

402
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 5: famous people. I try to use people that they want

403
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 5: to know who coming in because they gonna kick the best,

404
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. But I try to make

405
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 5: sure that whoever's walking in that door, you know, they

406
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 5: never know who that person is, and I can get

407
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 5: honest feedback. And when I like, I might get a

408
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 5: DM from a customer might you know, might be one

409
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 5: of my day ones and they might say, you know

410
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 5: this experience I came this time. You know, I felt

411
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 5: like this or it could have been better. But I

412
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 5: like that because it helps me work on the brand.

413
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 5: Like nothing is perfect. So if somebody sit there and

414
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 5: tell you all day like, yeah, they ain't got no

415
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 5: problems or anything, it's peaches and cream. They frowing Because

416
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 5: every business guy downfalls and every in true life, you're

417
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 5: gonna have obstacles that you gotta climb through every single day.

418
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, you got visitors that are coming into town. I

419
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 7: mean just for these these sports games, the opposing team

420
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 7: has a fan base too, so are people from out

421
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,479
Speaker 7: of town recognizing their brand and inquiring about having it

422
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 7: in their hometown. I can imagine Philly's now looking at

423
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 7: it when they come to Atlanta and saying, wait, this

424
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 7: guy's from here.

425
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,239
Speaker 8: He's an entrepreneur from here. Why don't we have this?

426
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 5: And are Philly killing me right now? They're like, bro,

427
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 5: what's going on? Like I ain't got one home yet? No,

428
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 5: But that's a good question. But to be honest, the

429
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 5: reason why I was supposed to franchise a few years back,

430
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 5: but I held it because my gut wasn't there. I

431
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 5: tell people all the time, I choose my gut over

432
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 5: my heart and over my mind because my gut ain't

433
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 5: gonna lie to me. So I waited till it's my time.

434
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 5: Now when I'm seeing all these these people acquiring you know,

435
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 5: whether it's Instagram or filling out applications about franchises, of course,

436
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 5: every day is in my mind like I could have this,

437
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 5: meaning ocation, I could be doing this. But you also

438
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,679
Speaker 5: can grow too fast and destroy everything you worked on too,

439
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 5: and I'm not trying to do that. Like, if y'all notice,

440
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 5: I'll never put out my vuation and my viuation is crazy.

441
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 5: But I don't want the world to look at that

442
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 5: right now. I want you to see what I'm doing.

443
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 5: I can, you know, change a whole lot of minds

444
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 5: by you know, let my pr putting out my viuation

445
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 5: and get a whole bunch of more opportunities that way.

446
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 5: But it ain't the way I'm doing it. They gonna

447
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 5: see me do it in a way where it took

448
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 5: me a little time to do it. But I'm gonna

449
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 5: do it the right way, and I'm gonna climb through

450
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 5: all the obstacles that I need to climb through so

451
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 5: I could be here in the loan run.

452
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 3: I ain't looking at no fronting.

453
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 5: I just said this in another podcast, like when it

454
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 5: comes to deals, a lot of deals, I don't chase

455
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 5: the front end money.

456
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 3: I want to back end.

457
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 5: I don't want to be the guy that say I

458
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 5: built a billion dollar company and where's my money at?

459
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 3: And then you signed to that front end money. That's

460
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 3: your money.

461
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 5: And for me, I'm chasing ownership and I'm chasing the

462
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 5: back end because the front end don't last.

463
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 6: So all right, talk about the franchise situation. Can you

464
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 6: walk us through that. How when did you decide that

465
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 6: you wanted the franchise and what was the steps to

466
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 6: actually get that up and running.

467
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 5: The steps took me, honestly about a year and a

468
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 5: half getting the FDD together. That's the Franchise Disclosure Document

469
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 5: for those who don't know, it's like the flet Yeah,

470
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 5: that's the that's the whole brains of what you signing

471
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,959
Speaker 5: up to. And the most important thing that I've learned

472
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 5: and the FDD, one of the most important things was

473
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 5: the Item nineteen and that's your financials. That's everything that

474
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 5: you got going on. That's what people are going to

475
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 5: look at when they want to buy into a franchise.

476
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 3: Excuse me.

477
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 5: And I feel real strong about that, you know, because

478
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 5: I took the time and with my team and we

479
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 5: worked out all of the stuff that we need to

480
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 5: get out the kinks to make sure that our bottom

481
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 5: lines is good, our top lines is good. Just like

482
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 5: you know, I just broke the news on CNBC and

483
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 5: I put out my downtown NET locations.

484
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 3: That was NET.

485
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 5: You know, that wasn't gross ups, that was just Net. Yeah,

486
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying That two point three Yeah,

487
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 5: that one of them so you know, that was just

488
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 5: my liw flex like stop playing with me. But nah,

489
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 5: but like this is the thing though, I wanted people

490
00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 5: to understand, like they seen me grinding, but now they.

491
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 3: See me showing.

492
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 5: It's a difference if you out here chasing every day

493
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: and nobody see you actually elevating and chase. Like every

494
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 5: time I look at y'all, look at somebody and I

495
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 5: category we got.

496
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 3: We got like this class going on. How I look

497
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: at it right? And how I look at this class?

498
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 5: Like when I see you know, Troy and Rischade, or

499
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 5: I see Pinky, or I see Milano, or I see

500
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 5: anybody else that's doing what we're doing, it's somebody else

501
00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,639
Speaker 5: talking about another level they get into, you know, And

502
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 5: that's what that's what turns me on from it. I

503
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 5: don't care about the money aspect. We all can make money,

504
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 5: but how can you get the opportunity to change lives?

505
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 5: How many people you're pitting on through those opportunities? And

506
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 5: that's what I care about.

507
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 4: So is it open for front like people can Oh yeah, I.

508
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 7: Talk about this man. So if somebody wants to what's

509
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 7: the process do we? I mean, number one, we have

510
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 7: to have the capital we got to go.

511
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, so you got the financials and then once you

512
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 5: got the financials, uh, you fill out the paperwreak.

513
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 3: It goes over to my broker.

514
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 5: My broker UH sets up a day where you come down,

515
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 5: you see the facilities, and then I get the last call.

516
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 5: You know, I get to sit down with you, and

517
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 5: I feel the energy. I told Pinky, this is going

518
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 5: to be a fun ride, because you know it ain't

519
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 5: just like you know, I'm married, so I believe in

520
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,120
Speaker 5: the decision she make. Also, so when we sit down

521
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 5: and we have dinner with these people and and I

522
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 5: and I fill them out and she fill them out,

523
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 5: I feel like that's a blessing for me because I

524
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 5: ain't just making a decision by myself. I got somebody

525
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 5: else beside me that you know, they can give me

526
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 5: good insight on it. But more to the story is

527
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 5: once they pass all the procedures they need to pass,

528
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 5: I get to sit with them and see if I

529
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 5: want to move forward.

530
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 7: So I mean, that's a good point you got. Obviously

531
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 7: you're married. Congratulations on that. We've seen her brand grow

532
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 7: and move to locations. Do you use that as a

533
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 7: metric to see if the location is suitable for your

534
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 7: brand as well. So when you move to Charlotte there

535
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 7: might be a veganness. Yeah, that tells me that there's

536
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 7: a community here that that needs.

537
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 5: That's what we do, though, honestly, we use each other

538
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 5: like guinea pigs. We do, like right now, franchising who

539
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 5: knows she might be franchising who knows it don't. I mean,

540
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 5: but sometimes we might take the jump first and then

541
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 5: we fill it out. Like she went out of state

542
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 5: before I want out of state, so I already knew

543
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 5: the things that I got to work on out of

544
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 5: state before I go out watching it happen. Yeah, because

545
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 5: I watch it happen. But again, you know, even though

546
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 5: like if it's a study vegan or it's a big daves,

547
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 5: don't matter who open them, we in the situation together.

548
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 5: So it's like when we climbing through these openings, it's

549
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 5: just like you know, as if I'm opening another location,

550
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 5: or it's things that I got to kink out, and

551
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 5: I say, oh, you know what, I got to do

552
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 5: that differently because in my brand that's not gonna work

553
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:24,679
Speaker 5: because it's two different brands. But the good thing that

554
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 5: we able to piggyback off each other with is that

555
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 5: we got the traffic. We can look at the numbers

556
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 5: and we can we can, you know, look at each

557
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 5: other selves and say, okay, you down or you up,

558
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 5: and we both and we both are down. We know

559
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 5: it's the market, and we both up. It's never you up,

560
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 5: you down like And that's the good thing with us

561
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 5: is that the demographics that we have, we have strong customers. Like,

562
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 5: you know, the market right there now is terrible in

563
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 5: the restaurants. It's not the restaurants all the way around.

564
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 5: And I'm doing I'm doing better than a lot of

565
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 5: the market, if not ninety percent of it.

566
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 8: What allows you to do better? Is it how you're pricing?

567
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 8: Is it? You know, how you're looking at the bottom line?

568
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 7: Like, what allows you to say I had not the competitors,

569
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 7: but the industry.

570
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 5: To be honest, I think right now it got to

571
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 5: have some attachment to it got to be tangible. So again,

572
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 5: my story, I feel like, you know a lot of

573
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 5: people been paying attentions to so long.

574
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 3: But the one thing I think that really helps me out.

575
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 5: A lot is that when economy crashed, when when the

576
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,199
Speaker 5: COVID hit everybody, they try to figure out what they

577
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 5: was going to do. Some of them ran off on

578
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 5: the employees. Some businesses closed.

579
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 3: I stood up.

580
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 5: It's just like if somebody telling you something and you like,

581
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 5: I'm gonna be there, I'm gonna do what I need

582
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 5: to do, and then.

583
00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 3: It happened, you don't be there.

584
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 4: I was there.

585
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 3: I was feeding customers.

586
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 5: I fed over a thousand customers that week of the pandemic,

587
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 5: fed up with forty hospitals that month.

588
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 3: We don't even know what COVID is at the time.

589
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 5: I'm walking in the hospital, you know, facilities just like

590
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 5: the doctors and the nurses is feeding them. And I

591
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 5: think I showed the community so much of my philanthropy,

592
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 5: my community involvement in my gearback or what I cared about.

593
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 5: I think that that now shows the.

594
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 3: People that they want me here for the long haul.

595
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 5: They respect it, they honer it, they see what I

596
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 5: stand for, and they keeping me here along the way.

597
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 5: And it's only a blessing for me, because honestly, sometimes

598
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 5: I could be talking to a restaurant guy and they

599
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 5: might tell me, man, you know, I'm down. It's the

600
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 5: worst time of the year for me. I don't know

601
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 5: how I'm gonna survive. And I'm opening locations left and right.

602
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 5: So it's like, you know, I can't. I can't, you know,

603
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 5: cope and say I know how that feel because I'm

604
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 5: in a different space right now. But I can tell

605
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 5: you what I know how I feel is trying to

606
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 5: get there, you know, trying to climb out of one

607
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 5: location to get another. It's one of the hardest things ever.

608
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 5: Because nobody probably will say this, but I'm gonna tell

609
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 5: you this. If you only got one location, you ain't

610
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 5: making no money. So it's really it's really no room

611
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 5: for you in the restaurant market. You only got fifteen

612
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 5: to twenty percent profit margins. Somebody go bang out three

613
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 5: cases of my wings.

614
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 3: They killed my bottom line. That's how the restaurant business work.

615
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 5: So it's like every thing that you do in the

616
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 5: business got to be like dead on and you got

617
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 5: to have space for mess ups. But you also have

618
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 5: to have multiple locations to actually start seeing what you

619
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 5: got going on.

620
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 6: So as far as like the franchise is somebody wants

621
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 6: they have to come with a location, I.

622
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 5: Mean, that's a blessing if they do that, but we

623
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 5: got to approve the location. But the other thing is

624
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 5: we're not just approving people and improving money. We want operators,

625
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 5: you know, I want people that know the business. If

626
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 5: they don't know the business, they can hire the business.

627
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 5: Because let me tell you something man like. And I

628
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 5: take this like with me every single day. Wat should

629
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 5: my dad take his last breath for what I'm doing

630
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 5: right now? I take it personal. Every time I get

631
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 5: a no, or I get an if, or I get

632
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 5: any type of you know, doubt in me that put

633
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 5: a battery in my back because I never forget the

634
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 5: day that my dad took his last breath, and I'd

635
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 5: be like, you know, y'all got me f'd up, y'all

636
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 5: gonna see me on the other side and listen. And

637
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 5: I'm saying this, I will be one of the biggest

638
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 5: entrepreneurs that ever done this. By the time I'm dead

639
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 5: and going, they will talk about me in his three

640
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 5: books and I will be alive when I'm dead.

641
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,440
Speaker 3: So that's that's my goal. I ain't chasing money, though.

642
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 8: So what's the goal, right? Because you don't want to

643
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 8: scale too fast?

644
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 7: And you said the hardest thing to do is to

645
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 7: create another spot location when you have one.

646
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 8: So is there is there a number?

647
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 7: When you started like, was there I need I want

648
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 7: to have thirty locations. I want to have one hundred locations.

649
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 7: I want to have a doubt. Was there a number

650
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 7: when you started? And has that number changed as you

651
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 7: see the success of the business.

652
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, before we put out the franchise and we

653
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 5: were just going to do forty or fifty and then

654
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 5: let it slow roll. But the attention everything was getting in,

655
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 5: Like I already had sixteen hundred people in the pot.

656
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 5: You know, we we ain't never And it's the blessing

657
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 5: of what I got going on right now. We're not

658
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 5: We're not like waiting for people to sign up. They

659
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 5: already waiting.

660
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 8: We we got sixteen hundred people waiting.

661
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 5: We're going through We're going through applications right now saying

662
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 5: who we want to.

663
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 4: I mean taking franchise? Do you want to open?

664
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 5: So right now is to do a hundred in the

665
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 5: next twelve to twenty four months, but who knows, it

666
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,399
Speaker 5: could be more than that, depends on what type of

667
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 5: the right groups come along. But we we got an

668
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,199
Speaker 5: operation right now strong enough if a thousand come our way,

669
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 5: I'm confident that we can run them because I don't

670
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 5: just got operators. I got the best operators on my

671
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 5: team in the world.

672
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 6: I feel like choice. So I want to open a

673
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 6: Big Dave Cheese Steaks in Brooklyn. I see a storefront.

674
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 6: I think it's a good idea. I some of my application.

675
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 6: I meet with you, you approve it. I pay you

676
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 6: up front fee.

677
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 3: You pay the up front fee.

678
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 5: So so I'm gonna just rewind back a little bit.

679
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 5: So in order for you to get a franchise right

680
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 5: now from Big Days, you got.

681
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 3: To take five locations.

682
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 4: You can't do one.

683
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 3: No, I don't know.

684
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 4: I mean because five locations close to each other.

685
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 5: No, I mean we gotta it's in an FDD we

686
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 5: got a gap or how far we want them apart.

687
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 5: But you got to take five locations right now, because

688
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 5: like I said, we in this uh to build people.

689
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 4: You have the locations.

690
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: No, no, no, you can pick the location.

691
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 5: So like right now on our on our franchise, franchise's

692
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 5: closure and our pamphlet, we got the markets.

693
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 3: Where we're planning on going where we want them at.

694
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 5: So like we got a blue yellow mean blue, uh,

695
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 5: red and a gray gray is like where we want to.

696
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 3: Go in the future.

697
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 5: Blue is where we want to go and red is,

698
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 5: I think is where we already have locations at right now,

699
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 5: but like you have the opportunity to take the location

700
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 5: where you want to take it to.

701
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: We think the market is right for it.

702
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 7: So when you're I mean, if you're trying to explaid that,

703
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 7: let's say you're not franchising, but you're trying to what's

704
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 7: the criteria for you, Like, what are the demographics?

705
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,120
Speaker 8: What are the analytics that you're looking at?

706
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 7: Because I know you said you sent the food trucks

707
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,840
Speaker 7: up to Charlotte and so we can see how the

708
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 7: food truck is doing.

709
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 8: This might be a good location.

710
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 7: Are there any other message that methods that you use

711
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 7: when trying to find a location location for yourself?

712
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 5: To be honest, man, like, once you make it past

713
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 5: all my team metrics, what they have set up, and

714
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 5: our FDD, it's about energy. For me, I really feel

715
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 5: like I'm a good judgment and character. I always felt

716
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 5: that way. And I also feel like if you got

717
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 5: operators around you and you're a business minded person, then

718
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 5: we can make it. We can make some success happen.

719
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 5: But I don't want to be around a person that's driven.

720
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 5: I'm sure y'all been around these type people too, and

721
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 5: everything is just money.

722
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 3: The whole conversation is money.

723
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 5: I tell people all the time, like you get in

724
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 5: the room with a billionaire and the worst thing you

725
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 5: could talk about is money. He already got money. You

726
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 5: got to create opportunity. So when I'm talking to these people,

727
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 5: they got to create opportunity. So we got we got

728
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 5: to meet each other in the middle of they telling

729
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 5: me right now, hey, you know I can start out

730
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 5: with these five locations. I got this operator, and I

731
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 5: want to build opportunity to be able to do twenty

732
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 5: of them. Now you got my attention, you know, because

733
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 5: now we got something. We gotta hope, we gotta dream together.

734
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 5: We got a vision. But if you already feel like

735
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 5: we won because you did this, we lost because we

736
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 5: ain't proven it yet.

737
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 4: To look at So five, five at one time or

738
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 4: five like.

739
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 5: Over theme, No, no, no, you just take five. Just

740
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 5: sign up five locations. You got a time that you

741
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 5: got to do them.

742
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 4: You know it could be like over the course of

743
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 4: three years.

744
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 3: Not yeah, so exactly.

745
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 4: So you just you make a commitment that you're going

746
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 4: to open up.

747
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 5: Your five make the commitment that you're about to open

748
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 5: these locations, and.

749
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 4: Then they pay you a license fee.

750
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 5: Well, they pay a franchise fee every month. No, they

751
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 5: paid a franchise royalty fee every week. Top line cells

752
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 5: every week every week. Yeah, So that's why it's important too.

753
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 5: That's why I said I care so much about the

754
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 5: bottom lines too, because we're not just trying to take

755
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 5: people money.

756
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 3: Want people to see profits, you know what I'm saying.

757
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 5: So like right now, you don't want to jump into

758
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 5: this world if your business ain't right, because you can't

759
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 5: promise somebody something just because you can do it. You

760
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 5: gotta have a format and the system that shows proof.

761
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 5: It's like science. You know, we look at science and

762
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,240
Speaker 5: we say, okay, we got we got these things that

763
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 5: lead us up to something being authentic, being real. Well,

764
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 5: in our metrics, we have it leading up to show you,

765
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 5: you know, what's going on and how you can do

766
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 5: these things if you stay at course with the brand.

767
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 7: Are the things that they can change inside of the

768
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 7: franchise or does it everyone have to be cookie cuttered

769
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 7: exactly what's inside of the you said the FDD Right.

770
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, you gotta stay you gotta stay at course to

771
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 5: the rules, and you can't you can't can't be a specialty.

772
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 5: They can't be something hot dogs and hamburgers not what.

773
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 6: About the core, Like let's say you in Oakland and

774
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 6: you want to have like an E forty Mirrol, Like,

775
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 6: how strict are you?

776
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 4: Are you like extremely strict or no.

777
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 5: I'm actually, I'm actually we just talked about that. I'm

778
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 5: open to that. I think that's actually dope, to be honest,

779
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 5: I think that's that's decent. If whatever community you come into,

878
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 5: The steak and egg cheese steak which is like the

879
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 5: breakfast sallenge, and then we got the cheesteak egros that's

880
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 5: to got the egg in them with the steak. So

881
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,359
Speaker 5: we're transitioning and you know, bringing a breakfast menu in

882
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 5: and making things a little different on there. But when

883
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 5: it comes to like changing the menu, nah, because this

884
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,760
Speaker 5: is the thing. My menu is simple, but it works

885
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 5: and it's powerful. I think when people go lower, they

886
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 5: mayu what with a whole bunch of things that's not selling.

887
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 5: Like I could literally tell you right now it's probably

888
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,120
Speaker 5: fifty percent of the market got stuff.

889
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 3: On their menus where it just ain't making money. Like

890
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 3: chicken wings don't make money. It got a bone in it.

891
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 3: It's no stretch.

892
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 5: So like if somebody, like when if an employee right

893
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 5: now over cooks a chicken wing or eats a chicken wing,

894
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 5: or you miss the count on the chicken wing, you lose.

895
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 3: You know, whether when I'm.

896
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 5: Cooking chicken breasts right when I'm making cheese steaks, it's breast.

897
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, it's chicken breast. So it

898
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 5: allows us to now be able to pick a good

899
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 5: marination on it, you know, the way we cook it

900
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 5: that make you feel like, you know, you're not getting

901
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 5: cheated on the sandwich. You getting a real good, healthy sandwich.

902
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 5: You're getting chicken wings whatever the market gives you. You know,

903
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 5: if the wings are small that week, whatever came in,

904
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 5: and then you might have customers, you know, complaining about

905
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 5: you know what they got.

906
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,640

00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, the salmon cheese steak. And he wasn't crazy, but

937
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:20,759
Speaker 5: I'm like, man, I'm putting.

938
00:40:20,480 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 3: This on a menu.

939
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 5: Next thing you know, I got salmon eggros on the menu.

940
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 5: I got salmon cheese steaks on the menu. And it

941
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 5: started being a hot cellar. Like I use, I use.

942
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 3: I tell people all the.

943
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 5: Time, don't be that person to be in circle and

944
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 5: don't have nothing to offer, Like if you're around artists,

945
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:43,399
Speaker 5: you're around athletes, you're around actors, actresses, whatever, be beneficial,

946
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,720
Speaker 5: Like be something that you. They always need something. Somebody

947
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,839
Speaker 5: in them circles need something, so beat the something they

948
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 5: need the.

949
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 6: Purchase, Rich Paul said. Rich Paul, he was like, an

950
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,839
Speaker 6: athlete is going to need an ecosystem of people. Gonna

951
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 6: need a driver, he gonna need a barber, he gonna

952
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 6: need security, He's gonna need somebody to watch this car,

953
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 6: You're gonna need these. Like the problem is that the

954
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,600
Speaker 6: Homeboys a lot of times the ego it just hanging around, right,

955
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 6: And it's only so long that you can hang around

956
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 6: before somebody kicks you off of the boat. But it's

957
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 6: like if you you should identify how you can add

958
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,320
Speaker 6: value to somebody's.

959
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 5: Like yeah, like I ain't hanging around you and I

960
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 5: can't figure out how to make money through you. Like

961
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 5: if you that listen, I'm gonna tell everybody this is

962
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 5: gonna watch this podcast. If you around, if you have

963
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 5: a blessing to bear around somebody right now with the

964
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 5: ball in their hands and you broke it, ain't they fuck,

965
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 5: It's your fault because whatever they are around, you need

966
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 5: to find a piece of who you are that can

967
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 5: be beneficial to the system.

968
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:38,880
Speaker 3: They got going on to the world to see what

969
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 3: you got.

970
00:41:39,680 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 5: Like you could put me in a room right now

971
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 5: with a bunch of concrete masons and I on La

972
00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 5: Seemen and I'm gonna tell them right now that I

973
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 5: own Big Daves and I'm looking for a GC and

974
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 5: some contracts. I'm gona figure out a way to make

975
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 5: the connection. Like I feel like, you know, we don't

976
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:54,879
Speaker 5: do a lot of connection maker. And then the one

977
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 5: thing that you spoke on and I'm gonna speak on

978
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,880
Speaker 5: this is that the reason why that don't work in

979
00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 5: a lot of these groups is because the ego, like

980
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 5: my homie don't want to grab the bag because he

981
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 5: remember me being a homie. No, i'm your boss now

982
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 5: I'm not your home like you know what I'm saying.

983
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 5: And you need to get.

984
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 3: Out that at that stage and understand that this is

985
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 3: how we're gonna grow.

986
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 5: Because if you on the boat and I'm driving a boat,

987
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 5: somebody got to be rowing it. Somebody got to make

988
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 5: sure we ain't sinking. And the whole time is if

989
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 5: you're worrying about how people stroking my ego or the world,

990
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 5: you know they they giving me the hand claps.

991
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 3: No, they're giving us the hand class. They just ain't

992
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 3: saying your name. That's the problem.

993
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 5: When people don't under hear they don't hear their name,

994
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 5: they feel like they're not getting a clap. But I

995
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 5: can guarantee you when they say are your Lesia, They're

996
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 5: not saying rashat de Troy. They're saying, are your leisure

997
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 5: y'all getting the clap? You know what I'm saying so

998
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 5: like when we in groups, we don't understand that we

999
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 5: be knocking ourselves down because the one person who getting

1000
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 5: recognized for stuff is the one getting the claps. But

1001
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 5: you know you behind the scenes putting everything together, so

1002
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,160
Speaker 5: you should feel good about that yourself.

1003
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 3: And that's how we're gonna grow.

1004
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 7: This is a message brought to you by the good

1005
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 7: brothers that are your leisure and Derek k Is I

1006
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 7: support this message.

1007
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 4: That's a fact. And people like you said it's ego.

1008
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 4: People think like.

1009
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 6: You see somebody as you're equal growing up, but everybody

1010
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 6: doesn't grow at the same rate. So at some point

1011
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 6: in time it's okay one person might accelerate their growth.

1012
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,840
Speaker 6: And you have to have enough humility. You know that

1013
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 6: you're not you're not equals anymore.

1014
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 3: But it don't be working and sho and you should

1015
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 3: charge your battery.

1016
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 5: Moore, Listen, do you know if I was to talk

1017
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 5: to somebody on the phone and I could be staggering

1018
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 5: right now trying to figure out what my next move is.

1019
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 5: They could be like, yo, I just did this man

1020
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 5: that just motivated It's just like you just plug me

1021
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,879
Speaker 5: up to iPhone like I'm charged again, Like I get

1022
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 5: charged off of that. But some people with no drive,

1023
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 5: they get this motivated, they got they don't know how

1024
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 5: to understand that. Like that's the part that you get

1025
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 5: happy of it when you hear somebody doing good, so

1026
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 5: you could do better. But until we understand that we

1027
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 5: got to clap, even when we hear our names called,

1028
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 5: we ain't gonna understand the mission.

1029
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 8: How are you dealing with that?

1030
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:56,919
Speaker 2: Right?

1031
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,239
Speaker 7: Because you come from an area and I mean we

1032
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 7: come from similar communities.

1033
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 8: Where that that's custom.

1034
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,879
Speaker 7: Right, there's people that watched us to send that grow

1035
00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 7: with us, but they can't grasp that point and they

1036
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 7: don't realize how dreaming that is to know that, yes,

1037
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 7: you have been blessed and I'm trying and we're trying

1038
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 7: to make it best for everybody, but you're not adding

1039
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 7: the value.

1040
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 8: How do you deal with that?

1041
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 7: Because I'm sure you've come across it and throughout your

1042
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 7: career as an entrepreneur, what have you done? What steps

1043
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 7: have you taken to make sure that either we're going

1044
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 7: to separate this relationship, or we're going to have a

1045
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 7: business relationship and a friend relationship, or we're gonna have

1046
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 7: no relationship at all.

1047
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 5: I'm gonna answer that whole because I just went through this.

1048
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:40,560
Speaker 5: But I'm gonna answer to you and myself form what

1049
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 5: I went through. So I actually had more money than

1050
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,040
Speaker 5: a lot of the people that I was around and

1051
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 5: lost it. Right, So now I'm telling them before they

1052
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 5: get the money how they got to control the.

1053
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 3: Money because it's spent easy.

1054
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 5: Like even when people see a million dollars, they think,

1055
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 5: you know, it's everything, But a million dollars ain't no

1056
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 5: money when you got a million dollar bills, so you

1057
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 5: spending like you got trillion dollars. So the thing is,

1058
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 5: for one, you gotta like literally get outside your own

1059
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 5: self and understand the mission. Like when I was around

1060
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 5: all these celebrities and the rappers and all of that,

1061
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 5: and I just blew all this money. I'm sitting in

1062
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 5: the rooms now or fly on the wall. I'm in

1063
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 5: your world. I'm not in my world no more. I

1064
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 5: know that I know that I'm okay with with with

1065
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 5: listening to your stories and hearing how you got here

1066
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 5: and withish your goals because now I need to get

1067
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 5: that motivation back. I'm you know, once you once you

1068
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 5: get dismotivated, sometimes you know how to control your life again,

1069
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 5: you get lost, and I feel like the blessing from

1070
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 5: that is like for me losing everything I had, like

1071
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 5: I had blessings like walking around Rick ross House getting

1072
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 5: stories from him, him telling me he got five hundred

1073
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 5: thousand dollars paintings and a million dollar paintings and stuff

1074
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 5: like that.

1075
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 3: And I'm sitting there like this somebody look like me.

1076
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 5: This is somebody that that that that got the ball,

1077
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 5: probably lost the ball, got it back, And that's motivating me.

1078
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 5: Like even when I'm around you know me or who's

1079
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 5: you know, any of these guys early on in the game,

1080
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 5: when I'm trying to figure out how I'm gonna get

1081
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 5: back started, I'm looking at what they got and how

1082
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 5: they doing it.

1083
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 3: I never forget this.

1084
00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 5: First time I go in Meek House, right, I'm like, damn,

1085
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 5: this is this is it?

1086
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 3: This is a castle. Right.

1087
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 5: But I'm saying damn to myself because I'm like, it's

1088
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 5: time to get it again. It's time to crink back up.

1089
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 5: Like it's somebody from you, your city, you know what

1090
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,280
Speaker 5: I'm saying, that did this. So I take stuff differently,

1091
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 5: like I get motivated off of your success. I don't

1092
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 5: do no hating. You know what I'm saying, I'm gonna

1093
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 5: keep on going because let me tell you what feels good.

1094
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,319
Speaker 5: What feels good to me is that when you could

1095
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 5: walk in a room and meet me in that room

1096
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 5: and I ain't invite you, you know what I'm saying,

1097
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 5: Like you might see me at places and you're trying

1098
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:48,239
Speaker 5: to figure out how I got there.

1099
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 3: My hard work got me there. You ain't have to

1100
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:50,760
Speaker 3: give me no invitation.

1101
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 5: I see you when I see you, because you're gonna

1102
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 5: respect me differently that way, You're always gonna respect the

1103
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 5: level well before the handout. And that's how I always

1104
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,440
Speaker 5: respected I never had my handout. I always had the workout.

1105
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 5: If you work hard, to work going to take care

1106
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 5: of you later.

1107
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 8: That's a great segue because we do see you everywhere

1108
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 8: because we're everywhere as well.

1109
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 7: We do run into youll a lot of places, and

1110
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 7: I never wondered why, I know why you are there.

1111
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 7: But talk about the importance of showing up in spaces

1112
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 7: where people don't expect you, because I mean, it's bigger

1113
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,880
Speaker 7: than cheese steaks, bigger than vegan burgers.

1114
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 8: It's brand. It's about relationships and networking that's important.

1115
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:25,880
Speaker 3: Let me tell you a true story.

1116
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 5: I got my CNBC Breaking News because I was at

1117
00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 5: the right place and I went over there and shot

1118
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 5: my shot. See, I'm the type of person like, if

1119
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 5: I'm in a room with somebody and I feel like

1120
00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 5: the synergy is there at the time is right, I'm

1121
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 5: gonna pitch something in a way that you're gonna know

1122
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:46,840
Speaker 5: that this is gonna be beneficial to the both sides.

1123
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 5: And when I'm in rooms, even when I don't look

1124
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 5: like I belong there, people might be in suit and

1125
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 5: ties and I might have a sweatsuit on. I tell

1126
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 5: my manager Mike all the time. He'd be like, you know,

1127
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 5: you want to wear a button.

1128
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:00,759
Speaker 3: I'm not. I'm coming as me, you know I want.

1129
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 3: I want to be the entrepreneur that.

1130
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 5: You respected because he was his true self. Because I

1131
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 5: can't fake my true self. I gotta fake being you.

1132
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 5: I ain't got to fake being myself. Though I'm respectful,

1133
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 5: I'm humble, I'm confident, I'm educational, I can give you game.

1134
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 5: I could do anything that these guys can do, but

1135
00:48:18,560 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 5: I ain't about to change to look like them because

1136
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:20,880
Speaker 5: I'm me.

1137
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 3: So that's how I get them room.

1138
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 4: I mean employees.

1139
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 3: You are between one thirty and to.

1140
00:48:28,040 --> 00:48:29,120
Speaker 4: Us a lot of employees.

1141
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 6: So one of the hardest things is, you know, maintaining

1142
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 6: a positive culture and a good culture and more people

1143
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 6: was harder to manage. So how do you manage that

1144
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 6: level of employees and how do you maintain an established

1145
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 6: culture for your organization?

1146
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 3: First a good team. I just said this a few

1147
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:48,279
Speaker 3: days ago.

1148
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 5: So I got a few core employees that uh that

1149
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:56,240
Speaker 5: been with me for a while now, some five six years.

1150
00:48:56,600 --> 00:48:58,759
Speaker 5: I think the culture starts with the people that you

1151
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 5: brung in the system, because I'm not in the restaurants

1152
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,600
Speaker 5: no more, you know, showing people how to cook or

1153
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:07,360
Speaker 5: in they're giving them game. But I'm in there because

1154
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:10,959
Speaker 5: the ones I trained is me. They believe in the dream,

1155
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,840
Speaker 5: they believe in the vision, and you can't have people

1156
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 5: around you trying to teach culture if you ain't.

1157
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 3: Never give them no ownership.

1158
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 5: My core people I gave fantom equity to as long

1159
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 5: as they in the company survived.

1160
00:49:23,440 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 3: When I exit.

1161
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:26,560
Speaker 5: The company down, got away for no four to one

1162
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:29,799
Speaker 5: K or retirement, they got big daves waiting. And I

1163
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:32,200
Speaker 5: think when people got something to look up to and

1164
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 5: to look for, they give you they all because that's

1165
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 5: just like right now, if we was making a bunch

1166
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 5: of money every single week and we're working for a

1167
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:43,479
Speaker 5: company that we ain't never seen the CEO. We don't

1168
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 5: know who our biggest manager is. We just know who

1169
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 5: our field manager is working with us every day. That's

1170
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 5: a job I'm giving out careers.

1171
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 3: It's a difference.

1172
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 5: You know, people say, how can you give out a

1173
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 5: career from a sandwich shop?

1174
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 3: While I'm doing it.

1175
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 5: People that bought houses, they didn't bought cars. Even people

1176
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 5: that didn't have a house been homeless. I didn't see

1177
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 5: any lives change. I didn't seen people take courses in

1178
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 5: school through big days. So like I've seen lives change

1179
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 5: through this. And that's what made me feel good with this.

1180
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 5: With the culture, And that's one of the scariest things

1181
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 5: that I really struggle with the franchise because I always

1182
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 5: wanted to keep that culture in there, that same that

1183
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 5: same feeling we walk into locations.

1184
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 3: But now I got the.

1185
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,239
Speaker 5: Corporate team right now and the training team to make

1186
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:23,480
Speaker 5: sure that culture is there.

1187
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,000
Speaker 6: Do you have like meetings with them to tell them, like,

1188
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 6: this is what we want, this is customers always right.

1189
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 5: Do you have every Monday, every Monday. So every day

1190
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 5: of the week I'm on the team, I'm gonna call

1191
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 5: with a different team. So on Mondays, I'm gonna call

1192
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 5: with my corporate team. On Tuesdays, I'm on calls with

1193
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,960
Speaker 5: my operations team. On Wednesdays and Thursdays, I might be

1194
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:48,799
Speaker 5: on the call with just my president and we're working

1195
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 5: through strategy. On Fridays, I might be now on a

1196
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,480
Speaker 5: call with my franchise team. So like when I say teams,

1197
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 5: like I got a whole team, a franchise team that

1198
00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 5: just deal with the franchising.

1199
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,760
Speaker 3: I got corporate team, I got operations.

1200
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 5: Team, but all together with a family, and it all

1201
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 5: funnels up and it all works together to make it work.

1202
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 7: Big Day is something that is obviously extremely personal to you.

1203
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, we've seen that in business.

1204
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 7: Is there ever a point that you can see yourself

1205
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 7: getting to saying that you know what, we're gonna package

1206
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 7: us up and we're going to sell this.

1207
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 5: I ain't there yet, but the moment I do get there,

1208
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 5: I think the whole world to know about end they

1209
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 5: will be everywhere.

1210
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 3: But what I.

1211
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 5: Will say is this, when I when I first built

1212
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 5: my gas station location and I had my firstborn daughter, Dallas.

1213
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 5: I would drive in a car with her and just

1214
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 5: be me and her, and I'm telling y'all something personal

1215
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 5: I never even shared with the world ever.

1216
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 3: Not even nobody really. I used to drive with her

1217
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:44,359
Speaker 3: in a car.

1218
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 5: I had a donut on my car, right I'm in

1219
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 5: a Jaguar, got no money to put this this tire

1220
00:51:49,120 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 5: on the car, and I got my daughter in the

1221
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:51,359
Speaker 5: car and I.

1222
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 3: Used to talk to her. She can't even speak, you know, shit, baby, but.

1223
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 5: I'm talking to her just like I'm talking to like

1224
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 5: one of my homies or whatever, my friends. And I'm like,

1225
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 5: you know, one day, we ain't gonna be going through this.

1226
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,240
Speaker 5: One day, I'm gonna pick big daves on every blue

1227
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 5: sign on every exit. So when you've grown and you

1228
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 5: got kids, you can say your daddy's stores. That's what

1229
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 5: he built like, and that's what was personal to me.

1230
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 5: Like when I go on Instagram and sometimes I might

1231
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 5: in the right in a caption, no be like this personal.

1232
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 5: This is personal, Like I'm not losing through this. I

1233
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,840
Speaker 5: would stop breathing for this, Like this is personal that

1234
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 5: I went for this because I'm not doing this just

1235
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 5: for me no more. I'm doing this for every kid

1236
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 5: that they look at as a stereotype. They ain't supposed

1237
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 5: to be there. They not gonna make it. They bad

1238
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 5: to the society. These are all the things that people

1239
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,280
Speaker 5: said about me at once upon a time. But now

1240
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 5: now I'm getting paid to talk. I'm going into schools,

1241
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 5: changing lives. I just talked to a school there in

1242
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 5: high school and they told me. They literally walked up

1243
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 5: to me and the lady was like, I need to

1244
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 5: talk to the football team.

1245
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 3: They losing.

1246
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,160
Speaker 5: I said, well, that's already the problem, because y'all already

1247
00:52:52,160 --> 00:52:55,160
Speaker 5: saying they losing. Like if y'all make people feel like

1248
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 5: a loser, then they gonna feel like a loser.

1249
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 3: How can we win?

1250
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 5: The way we win is we bring each other in unity,

1251
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 5: make each other feel good even when we losing.

1252
00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 3: I ain't always winning.

1253
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 5: Should some months I take roller coaster rise, I take dobs,

1254
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 5: I lose a couple hundred thousand, don't matter.

1255
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 3: I gotta get back at it. The moment you say

1256
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 3: you lost, you lost. Until that moment you ain't defeated.

1257
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 5: And when people you know, they say I took a loss,

1258
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:17,680
Speaker 5: I'll be like, now you ain't take a loss because.

1259
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 3: You're still at it.

1260
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 5: You still operate, and you ain't take a loss took

1261
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,920
Speaker 5: you took a pause, and that sometimes them pauses wake

1262
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 5: you up to do better. You need that to happen.

1263
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,439
Speaker 5: If everything right now happens good for y'all, y'all will

1264
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 5: never appreciate the times. Y'all won't understand the good times anymore, because, honestly,

1265
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 5: sometimes I'll wake up in the morning, I'd be like, damn,

1266
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 5: I got something else going on. I got something else

1267
00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:38,239
Speaker 5: going on, and one moment, something don't feel right.

1268
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,080
Speaker 3: You getting a stress mode because you got spoiled.

1269
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 5: But sometimes you need to get unspoiled with the feel

1270
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 5: that this is the reason why you hear this is

1271
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 5: why God pitch you in these situations, because you know

1272
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,399
Speaker 5: you can handle them, and He wanted to pitch you there.

1273
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:51,600
Speaker 5: And the way I look at the biggest thing of

1274
00:53:51,640 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 5: it all is that if I'm not striving to do

1275
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 5: better every single day, if I'm not going hard at

1276
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 5: something that's challenging and it's easy, I'm never gonna be.

1277
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:01,520
Speaker 3: Serious at it.

1278
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,439
Speaker 5: I'm never gonna get real with it. I'm never gonna

1279
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 5: take it as something that can be a blessing. Taken

1280
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 5: away from me. But if I'm working hard at something

1281
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 5: not iront it and I know that if I.

1282
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 3: Lose it, my life is over. I'm always gonna appreciate

1283
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:13,319
Speaker 3: that more too.

1284
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 4: So yeah, is that a number though?

1285
00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 5: It's like I mean, hey, listen, I tell people all

1286
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 5: the time, and I'm saying it's confidently Big Daves will

1287
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 5: be worth a billion dollars and it ain't gonna take

1288
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 5: a loan.

1289
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:24,759
Speaker 3: To do it.

1290
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,839
Speaker 4: Okay, losing is only an option. When it's an option,

1291
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 4: that's that's it. That's the fact.

1292
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 6: So as far as outside of the restaurant business, I

1293
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 6: know you do all this stuff, real estate investments.

1294
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,560
Speaker 5: How's that going the real estate man? Listen, So you

1295
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 5: know the market funny right now? Insur race is high.

1296
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 5: But I'm blessed to say that me and my wife,

1297
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:47,520
Speaker 5: we was able to grab a lot of stuff up

1298
00:54:47,560 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 5: before the market got ugly. So we holding on the assets.

1299
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 5: That's another thing, man, you know, being thirty six years

1300
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 5: old with millions and assets. I remember times I couldn't

1301
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,840
Speaker 5: feed myself. You understand what I'm saying, Like I remember

1302
00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 5: when I can't go by McDonald's handburger. So things like

1303
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 5: this make me feel appreciative. And I can look at

1304
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 5: other people and say, listen, if you work hard one day,

1305
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:10,440
Speaker 5: you ain't gonna worry.

1306
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 3: About knowing how to feed yourself. It's always going to

1307
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 3: be available. And the worst thing of it all is

1308
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:15,160
Speaker 3: to be a.

1309
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 5: Grown man in America right now and you got to

1310
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,359
Speaker 5: ask somebody to feed you. Can you imagine right now

1311
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 5: you was hungry and you gotta ask, listen, hey, bro,

1312
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 5: can you buy me this Chinese meal?

1313
00:55:26,960 --> 00:55:27,760
Speaker 3: Just file out the grub.

1314
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 5: One time he gonna tell you, no, he gonna tell you, Bro,

1315
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 5: you gotta go figure something out. And the moment he

1316
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 5: tell you, bro, go figure something out, you go and

1317
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:37,719
Speaker 5: figure it out. And I'm glad we're o on this

1318
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 5: right now because have y'all ever felt like this? You

1319
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 5: ever been real hungry? I'm talking about starving, like need

1320
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:47,759
Speaker 5: some food, right, You're real hungry, right, But after you've

1321
00:55:47,760 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 5: been hungry for so long, you realize you ain't even

1322
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 5: that hungry no more. But if you eat a little

1323
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 5: bit of food that was good, you get way more hungry.

1324
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:57,799
Speaker 5: You were like, yo, I'm getting a piece of that, right,

1325
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 5: But then you go by that same meal and it

1326
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 5: don't taste the same you be like, man, they made

1327
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:07,920
Speaker 5: suors different. You know why, because when you tasted that food,

1328
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:09,959
Speaker 5: you were so hungry at that moment that it felt

1329
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 5: good that now you got comfortable again and just say,

1330
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 5: all right, I'm gonna go get the same thing.

1331
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:15,760
Speaker 3: Instead of striving through that hunger.

1332
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 5: Sometimes we got to drive through the hunger and know

1333
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 5: that we're hungry for a reason. Like I always would

1334
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,960
Speaker 5: take a little bit to get a lot later than

1335
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,919
Speaker 5: they have a lot, because we're never gonna work harder

1336
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 5: in the end. If right now they give us a

1337
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 5: couple hundred million right now, are y'all still gonna be

1338
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 5: reshoting tray A, y'all still gonna be doing this Only

1339
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:35,359
Speaker 5: Leader podcast every day? Are y'all still gonna be big

1340
00:56:35,440 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 5: up in the entrepreneurs that's up and coming, Because if

1341
00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 5: y'all are, then this person and this passionate versus he's

1342
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 5: doing it for the dollar signs.

1343
00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 6: You see what I'm saying, So how you feel about

1344
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 6: I put a post on Instagram the other day where

1345
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 6: I saw it God was saying that, like the life

1346
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:50,800
Speaker 6: of a winner is a lot different than what people

1347
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 6: perceive because you always feel like you're actually losing.

1348
00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 4: You never really feel like you're winning because you don't.

1349
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 4: You always focus on what went wrong and yeah, how

1350
00:56:58,680 --> 00:56:59,760
Speaker 4: you can improve.

1351
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:03,279
Speaker 6: And it's extremely like different from what most people can

1352
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,799
Speaker 6: actually understand. When he said that, I just that just

1353
00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 6: resonated with me so much because that's how I always

1354
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 6: look at things, like I never look at like.

1355
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 4: What right, I always look at me.

1356
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:10,320
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1357
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 6: I feel like I want to so yeah, so I don't.

1358
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 6: I don't how you how's that work out for you?

1359
00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 5: It works in my favor because I think I'm hard

1360
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 5: on myself. Nobody in this world is more harder on.

1361
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 3: Me than me.

1362
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 5: Like literally, nobody can't give me no advice I haven't

1363
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 5: gave myself.

1364
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:31,360
Speaker 3: Like that's the good thing about.

1365
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 5: Being a really good person and being a really good

1366
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 5: entrepreneur is that you could take your falls and your

1367
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,000
Speaker 5: fails and you can say it's my fault, you know,

1368
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 5: like sometimes in the situation is always two sides of

1369
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 5: every story. But you know when you did, you know

1370
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 5: what I mean, it's your fault. And I think by

1371
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 5: me not congratulating myself sometimes it.

1372
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 3: Make me go harder and excuse me.

1373
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 5: I think sometimes me not congratulating myself, sometimes you know

1374
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 5: can picture in a little bit stressful situations because sometimes.

1375
00:57:58,040 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 3: You need to give yourself the flowers.

1376
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 5: You need a wordy yourself because you are getting up

1377
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 5: every morning and chasing your dream, doing the things that

1378
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 5: you want to do.

1379
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 3: You know a lot of people wake up in the

1380
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,959
Speaker 3: morning and be miserable because they're not doing the things

1381
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:10,840
Speaker 3: they want to do in life.

1382
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 5: Like I really wake up every single morning and my

1383
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 5: country club home, and I'm looking at my fifth hole

1384
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 5: of my golf course, remembering that I came up in

1385
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 5: the ghetto and at thirty two thousand dollars home, and

1386
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 5: I'm able to say that my hard work and me

1387
00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 5: being hard on myself and never being content to whatever

1388
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 5: guy has for me right now, because I know that

1389
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:37,320
Speaker 5: if I keep working for what I really want later on,

1390
00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 5: it's going to be massive. And my massive ain't just

1391
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 5: for me. My massive is for opportunities. Like what y'all

00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 5: doing right now, y'all gonna give people opportunities to come

1393
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 5: in the door under y'all.

1394
00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 3: What I'm doing right now, I'm.

1395
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 5: Giving people opportunities to come in the door under me

1396
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 5: that look differently.

1397
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 3: That's what I care about.

1398
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 7: Talked about things outside the restaurant real estate was one.

1399
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 8: But I have noticed you have been lately.

1400
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,840
Speaker 7: You have been taking trips to a certain streaming platform

1401
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:07,520
Speaker 7: to talk about some of the stuff that's going on

1402
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 7: in that world of content creation.

1403
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 5: I don't know, man, I'm gonna strow this out there. Man,

1404
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 5: Pink can have a showing away soon. We might be

1405
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 5: working on something. But I just think right now the

1406
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:21,720
Speaker 5: opportunities that's falling right now is amazing because you know,

1407
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 5: like when you work hard, you can pick and choose

1408
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:25,160
Speaker 5: what you want to do. You don't have to say

1409
00:59:25,240 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 5: yes to everything. And me saying no feels good sometimes,

1410
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 5: like now I'm not doing that. That's not for my career,

1411
00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 5: that's not for me, that's not gonna that's not gonna

1412
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 5: work for what I stand for or what I'm pushing.

1413
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:39,439
Speaker 5: And I think me being an investor right now, I'm

1414
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 5: invested in a few businesses and I like to be

1415
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 5: able to help people when they got it together. Like

1416
00:59:45,920 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 5: the worst thing you could do is come to somebody

1417
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 5: and it ain't together. You have to ask somebody to say,

1418
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 5: you know, they got something good. They want you to

1419
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 5: invest or what you think about it, and they're paying

1420
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 5: people through cash ad.

1421
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, you like, how you gonna win?

1422
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,160
Speaker 5: So these are the things that like I help people out,

1423
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,400
Speaker 5: you know, at the lower level, and I'm talking to

1424
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 5: them because I'm allowing them to know, like if you

1425
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 5: want to get taken serious, you got to be serious.

1426
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 5: You gotta look serious, you got to be together, Like

1427
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 5: where's your ePK, where's your deck? All these things that matter.

1428
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:16,400
Speaker 5: And this is what I learned over time because I

1429
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 5: was that cash up. God was the guy that just

1430
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 5: give me opportunity. But sometimes as long as you show up,

1431
01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,919
Speaker 5: that person that got the opportunity may give you one.

1432
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,360
Speaker 4: So what does your corporate structure look like? You're the CEO.

1433
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 4: I'm assuming you have a COO, you have a CFO.

1434
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I got so, I got a president's CFO.

1435
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 5: I got I'm about to hire a COEO. Now I

1436
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:43,440
Speaker 5: got that position open. I got human resources, I got GMS,

1437
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 5: I got field managers, I got food quality chefs. The

1438
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 5: only thing right now I don't have right now is

1439
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 5: the COO RO.

1440
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,000
Speaker 4: What are these people that you knew or people that

1441
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:55,600
Speaker 4: you didn't know.

1442
01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 5: No, that's the best thing of it all. I mean

1443
01:00:57,760 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 5: some of them are, but let me tell ya something.

1444
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 5: So being the CEO and the founder of a popular brand,

1445
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 5: this is the one thing that sometimes is hard. It's

1446
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 5: because you want to bring everybody up with you that

1447
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:11,479
Speaker 5: surround you.

1448
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 3: You know, you want people to grow.

1449
01:01:12,880 --> 01:01:15,360
Speaker 5: But as you try to scale, it take a level

1450
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,520
Speaker 5: of education and scale, and it takes expertise. And I

1451
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 5: had to really go get a team that really was

1452
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 5: ready for that and gear it up for that. And man,

1453
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:25,280
Speaker 5: the most thing of it all is like when you

1454
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,880
Speaker 5: put a stranger in front of a bunch of people faces, they.

1455
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 3: Respect it more.

1456
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 5: I don't ask me why, but it's just like they

1457
01:01:30,680 --> 01:01:33,600
Speaker 5: gonna listen to that person more because they don't know

1458
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 5: how to They don't know how to handle that person.

1459
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 5: You ever, you ever heard somebody say, like you in

1460
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 5: a relationship and a person taking advantage because they know

1461
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:41,439
Speaker 5: how to handle that person.

1462
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 3: They know that person not going nowhere. They don't know

1463
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 3: how to handle me no more.

1464
01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 5: Because I'll fire anybody, you know what I'm saying, Like,

1465
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:50,880
Speaker 5: I'll fire anybody that's in my company not doing their

1466
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 5: job because the mission is to get to the to

1467
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 5: the mountaintop with this, and I feel like anybody getting

1468
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 5: in the way of that mission. You ain't mission driven

1469
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 5: in the mission, so it's time to get out the mission.

1470
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 5: And sometimes it hurt. You know, you're gonna break your

1471
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 5: heart with some moves you gotta make to get people out.

1472
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 5: I don't let people go that I love that I

1473
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 5: wanted to see when that I had a vision for

1474
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:14,080
Speaker 5: in an end. But how can they have a vision

1475
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 5: for you if they screwed you while you was trying

1476
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 5: to wreak on a vision?

1477
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:17,919
Speaker 4: Dan Cathy, you know Dan Kathy.

1478
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, he said something that on investment I think, but

1479
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 6: I know he's the CEO Chick fil A. He's heard

1480
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,280
Speaker 6: for like four billion dollars last year and investments. He

1481
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 6: said something that was extremely insightful, and he was like,

1482
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 6: being an entrepreneur is like a musical composer. And he

1483
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 6: was like, you you have a certain like you write

1484
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 6: music right, and you know how the quality of the

1485
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,400
Speaker 6: music should down. And then but you have the musicians

1486
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 6: who actually have to play the music. So he said,

1487
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 6: if the music that the musicians are playing are not

1488
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 6: up to the part of the composition that you wrote,

1489
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 6: never dumped down the composition, you have to hire new musicians, Like,

1490
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:58,800
Speaker 6: don't lower how your vision for the music is based

1491
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 6: off of the talent that you have. One hundred percent

1492
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 6: that has to stay at part. You just got to

1493
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 6: get higher level talent to make sure that they are

1494
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 6: performing at the level of the composition.

1495
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 5: Now I agree with that one thousand percent, because how

1496
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 5: you're gonna have somebody on a team that can run

1497
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 5: and play. That's like, right now, I just told a

1498
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 5: group of kids that CAAU don't be practice players, don't

1499
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 5: work and study your game every single day, and then

1500
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:27,280
Speaker 5: fell the test. Nobody's going to ever recognize you for that.

1501
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 5: You know, you got people right now, and that's probably

1502
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 5: in the NBA college basketball, probably the best practice players

1503
01:03:32,600 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 5: in the world to make the stars better. But like

1504
01:03:35,480 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 5: you was killing him in practice, but until the rest

1505
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 5: blue the game whistle, you choked. And some of us,

1506
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 5: you know, we are practice players and we got to

1507
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 5: do a better job at that. And a lot of

1508
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 5: us to always give people advice and not taking advice theyself, like,

1509
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 5: how can you tell me how to be a better

1510
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 5: financial literate or better financial literacy if you don't have

1511
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 5: nothing going on, if you don't know the true meaning

1512
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 5: of it. Because that word is popular right now, every

1513
01:03:59,320 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 5: person in the Maria, it's just using.

1514
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 3: I want to break the curse. I want to do

1515
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:05,000
Speaker 3: all these things.

1516
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,240
Speaker 4: I know what I'm dogger words.

1517
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, like the curse is broken, like all these things right,

1518
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 5: So like what's really breaking the curse?

1519
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 4: Though?

1520
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 3: Like what are you doing? Like are you are you

1521
01:04:16,400 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 3: breaking the curse for your kids? But how you going

1522
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 3: to do it?

1523
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:20,920
Speaker 5: Because you can give your kids a bunch of money

1524
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:22,959
Speaker 5: and they can piss the money away, Like what.

1525
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 3: Did you do to give them the education not to

1526
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 3: mess the curse up?

1527
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,680
Speaker 5: So like for me, like, I think it's important that

1528
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 5: you give your kids like debit cards and don't put

1529
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 5: a lot of money on them and let them get

1530
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 5: declined in the stores.

1531
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:36,240
Speaker 3: Let them feel what rejection feels like.

1532
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 5: Let them feel like when they go swipe that car

1533
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 5: for that toy and they need ten dollars more in

1534
01:04:40,360 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 5: that car and then the.

1535
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,000
Speaker 3: Registered persons saying sorry, your car didn't go through.

1536
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 5: Like you need to experience that at an early age,

1537
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 5: because wait until you become an adult to get declined.

1538
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 3: Don't feel good.

1539
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 5: Imagine if you got declined when you was fourteen years

1540
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:54,000
Speaker 5: old and you could.

1541
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 8: Have just yeah, imagined plenty of time.

1542
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 3: Imagine messing up a credit card.

1543
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:00,439
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying early in the game, and

1544
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:01,800
Speaker 5: and now you.

1545
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 6: Feel about that though, because it's like I was watching

1546
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:07,400
Speaker 6: Cameron and Mason's show Shout Out to Him, and Mace

1547
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 6: was telling the story. He was like he was talking

1548
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 6: to his son playing basketball, and he's telling his son like, yo,

1549
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 6: you gotta be hungry, like you gotta be hungry.

1550
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 4: Out there, and he was like, but I'm not hungry.

1551
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,320
Speaker 6: I was like, it registered to him that how he

1552
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 6: grew up, he can never his son can never have

1553
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 6: an appreciation for that.

1554
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 4: Like, so it's like, you have.

1555
01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 6: Children, you're an entrepreneur, you're you're highly successful, they're never

1556
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 6: going to really have a full appreciation of the grit

1557
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 6: or the grind. No, right, that's a blessing, but also

1558
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,280
Speaker 6: it's like it's also kind of a curse because.

1559
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:44,920
Speaker 11: You know what I'm saying like this, and I think

1560
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 11: what people should do honestly, Like I'm never gonna I'm

1561
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 11: never gonna put my kids in the ghetto and be

1562
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 11: like you gotta you gotta feel.

1563
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 3: How to feel, you gotta figure it out, survivor. Yeah,

1564
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 3: but what I what I will do is that.

1565
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 5: The opportunity to work for it, you know, Like I

1566
01:06:01,720 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 5: feel like anybody in the household that got their kids

1567
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 5: in a different environment, they should be able to make

1568
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 5: their kids feel like it's.

1569
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 3: A privilege to have it.

1570
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:14,080
Speaker 5: Like like I just said this in my backyard two

1571
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 5: days ago. I was talking to my brother on the

1572
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 5: phone and I'm like, Yo, my son is born in

1573
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 5: a mansion, he's riding in MAYBEXX.

1574
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 3: He's doing all these things I didn't have that.

1575
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying, He already has things that

1576
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 5: I've never had, you know, the privilege of it, right.

1577
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 5: But the thing that I'm going to gear my son

1578
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 5: up what I never had, is opportunity.

1579
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:36,880
Speaker 3: Resource.

1580
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 5: So those two things right there, we would have so

1581
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 5: many more intelligent, successful African American people, people in general

1582
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,520
Speaker 5: in the world right now if you had those two

1583
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:50,720
Speaker 5: things right there, opportunity and resource. Right some people know

1584
01:06:50,760 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 5: how to go create opportunity and some people need the

1585
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:56,160
Speaker 5: opportunity to create them. That's why it's only about two

1586
01:06:56,240 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 5: to three percent of us in the world that's special

1587
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 5: like that to know how to create opportunity. Like if

1588
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 5: you go out there and create the opportunity and get

1589
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 5: out of those four walls of the neighborhoods you're from,

1590
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 5: and you know you be special that way, or you

1591
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 5: sit in there and become the satistic of the environment.

1592
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 5: For me, I'm gonna make sure that my kids know,

1593
01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 5: for one, it is another side of the world out

1594
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 5: there that you don't want nothing to do with because

1595
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 5: you can't handle it because you ain't never been in it.

1596
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:24,439
Speaker 5: But always know, to your highest high, you go back

1597
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 5: in those communities and you be resources and opportunities to them.

1598
01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 3: And that's what I want my kids to do.

1599
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 5: I want them to be community leaders, and I want

1600
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 5: them to be opportunity and resources to other communities around

1601
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 5: the world, and I want them to provide, just provide

1602
01:07:37,840 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 5: something powerful that's going to like right now. I think

1603
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 5: I said it the you, Risha, when we was at Investments,

1604
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 5: when I told you about the entrepreneur your leisure.

1605
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 3: I think y'all should do that.

1606
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:50,400
Speaker 5: I mean the juveniles, because it's a lot of kids

1607
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 5: out here that's intelligent, right, they just don't have the

1608
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,760
Speaker 5: platform and the resource they that people can see that.

1609
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 5: I remember, Man Pinky was at my grand opening and

1610
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,919
Speaker 5: uh Jonesboro Road location and it was this little kid,

1611
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 5: man he walked up to me and blew me away.

1612
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 5: Man the way he talked like, I can't believe the

1613
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 5: words that was coming out of his mouth. And I

1614
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 5: was just like, yo, somebody need to have a platform

1615
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,679
Speaker 5: for kids to be able to show who they are,

1616
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,400
Speaker 5: to express them, not having two parents in the household,

1617
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 5: express where they stuck at.

1618
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:22,599
Speaker 3: Right now, where they need help at.

1619
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 5: And then then we can fix this all as one

1620
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 5: pile right now, because you fix the problem before the

1621
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 5: problem fixed it.

1622
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 8: We talked about kids. Yeah, you have some, you have

1623
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 8: one on the way, congratulations, thank you. Let's talk about succession.

1624
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 8: Is that part of the business plan?

1625
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 7: Mom has a brand, Dad has a brand that's under

1626
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:44,920
Speaker 7: the family umbrella. It's succession something you're thinking about. Is

1627
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:46,679
Speaker 7: that something that you've put in the business plan already?

1628
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:50,639
Speaker 5: Well, I'm I feel like we talk about this. They

1629
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 5: could have the opportunity to be what they want to be.

1630
01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 3: But you can look at Lebron James.

1631
01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 5: You see his kids playing basketball. I don't think that

1632
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:00,080
Speaker 5: you've been in the house with two serial entrepreneurs. Is

1633
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 5: ain't gonna become one too. And my youngest right now,

1634
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 5: my daughter, my youngest daughter right now, she's been here before.

1635
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 5: She literally she's saying that ABC's and already you know

1636
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 5: what I'm saying. And it's stuff that my children are

1637
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 5: doing because of the opportunity that we have around the home.

1638
01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 5: And I think it's organically gonna happen. I don't think

1639
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 5: that we're gonna shove it down their throats. But I think,

1640
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:28,280
Speaker 5: you know, she never she never stops talking about business,

1641
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 5: or I never stopped talking about business, and.

1642
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 3: Directly not even knowing.

1643
01:09:31,200 --> 01:09:32,560
Speaker 5: They could be a banana in the house and it

1644
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 5: guy right, and we're trying to figure out a way,

1645
01:09:34,280 --> 01:09:36,080
Speaker 5: come up with a method, and so bananas don't right.

1646
01:09:36,479 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 5: It's like we're always thinking of ways to build. And

1647
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:41,519
Speaker 5: I think of kids here that they will always think

1648
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,479
Speaker 5: of ways to build too. So I think organically they

1649
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 5: just going to be entrepreneurs. But some of my kids

1650
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:49,040
Speaker 5: might be sayers too, man, because I got some I

1651
