Speaker 1: Looking everybody a little backstory history. One of the incredible

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: live activation producers in Hollywood history. Now you're in the

26
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: beauty business. Your customer service was always fantastic in the

27
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: live activistion space. I'm talking about he did events for

28
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: me at the Playboy Mansion, he did events for me

29
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: in downtown Hollywood. We were talking about multi level events,

30
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: thousands of people are attended. But what always stood out to me, Damon,

31
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: was your detail. What always stood out to me was

32
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: your customer service. Talk about why are you transitioning to

33
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: the beauty business.

34
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: Well, one, it's a huge opportunity for us as African Americans, blacks.

35
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: It's a huge space, and it's recession proof and it's

36
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 2: not going away. And as a as a guy who

37
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: grew up in a family with a mother, sister, wife, daughter,

38
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: it really really means a lot to our community.

39
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: When we look good.

40
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: We feel good, when we feel good, we be good,

41
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 2: we do good, all of that, all of that type

42
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: of stuff. And so when my wife wanted to launch

43
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: more of a retail scenario. That's when I really start

44
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: looking at the industry and saying we've had the short

45
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 2: end of a stick only from recycling our black dollars,

46
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: but also the concept of service. I grew up in

47
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: an all black community like most of us did, you

48
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: and I Rishima, when when we were coming up and

49
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: a lot of folks we just haven't we weren't served

50
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 2: by the people who own businesses, be it a corner

51
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 2: liquor store or where we get our fish, our chicken,

52
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: our takeout, and so we thought it was one a

53
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: good business model to one that it was time for

54
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: us to seize. In three we can restore some of

55
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: the pride and some of the feeling good about shopping

56
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: in your own community.

57
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that. The industry. You're in, the beauty industry,

58
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: Like you're said, it's an industry that is very dominated

59
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: by African Americas from a sales standpoint, from a beauty

60
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 1: from an activation you know, but from a product distribution standpoint,

61
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: that's where we lack explain that that I want to

62
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: say the word of lack of participation.

63
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're buyers, I mean we're consumers. I mean, you know,

64
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: the status if we were a nation, we would be

65
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 2: the eighth or ninth largest nation on the planet. We

66
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: just don't own and so I think that once again

67
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: in our own communities we didn't set up shop. You know,

68
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: became a time you know, after I think the seventies

69
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: we didn't set up shop, and then obviously we had

70
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: that crack academic and all that kind of stuff. We

71
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 2: weren't able to build businesses. And this is just one

72
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: of the businesses that we support daily. If you think

73
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: about hair care, skincare, nail care, that's twenty four to seven,

74
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 2: that's three sixty five. And we don't manufacture anything. We

75
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: don't sell it, we don't whost sell it, and so

76
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: it's just been really dominated by Koreans who are on

77
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 2: the distribution side of it, and then the Chinese tend

78
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 2: to make the product, and then to a lesser degree

79
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: to Japanese people come up with great and ingenious synthetic

80
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 2: and chemical driven ideation that gets made by the Chinese

81
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 2: and distributed by the Koreans in our neighborhood. So we

82
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 2: do not participate at all in that space. But I

83
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 2: will say over the last couple of years, you may

84
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: have heard of shade Moisture selling to Unilever, Mael selling

85
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: to Procter and Gamble. Another one was Honeypot. I can't

86
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: remember who they sold to. But we're now solving our

87
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: own problems, developing our own product right.

88
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: Which is really important now when I'm talking to Damon

89
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: Haley Glow and Flow Beauty, he said, as he says,

90
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 1: go on other days of poor service, fractured relationship, and

91
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: harmful products. Dama's goal is to create a healthy environment

92
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: for women, men, girls and boys to shop, learn and

93
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: grow as their needs change. He's also launching multiple product

94
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: line and is franchising the business model. That's why this

95
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: money made conversation master class Dame franchising the business model.

96
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: What is that business model?

97
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: What we've done is we've created the playbook. We've created

98
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: the recipe on how to do this business from a

99
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: retail perspective. And you know, there's a lot of legalities

100
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: that you have to do, and we've gone through all

101
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: of that process so that I can now say, hey,

102
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 2: if you're interested in investing in yourself, investing in your family,

103
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: investing in your community and this industry, here's a way

104
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: to do it and will help you do it and

105
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: So that's what franchising is about for us, and I

106
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: do believe it's probably only two or three black owned

107
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 2: beauty supply franchises in the United States now.

108
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: You know, I've read been an article that said one

109
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: of the great ways to get into entrepreneurship is through franchising.

110
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: Can you explain to me why it is so advantageous

111
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: to pursue a franchise opportunity versus a startup. It's just

112
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: going in and starting up your own beauty store, starting

113
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: up your own supply center. That's beauty related talk to us.

114
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't start from zero with a franchise. You

115
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: have a company or corporation behind you, and you have

116
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 2: this playbook that's how to and if you just follow

117
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: those instructions in the supply chain and those materials, you

118
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: should be able to win because it's a proven model

119
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: versus just going from scratch. I mean, I came up

120
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: with glow and flow. The glow is for the skin,

121
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: the flow is.

122
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: For the hair. You know.

123
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 2: You know, I have a history of being a marketer.

124
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 2: Everybody isn't a marketer. You talked about details and how

125
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: we used to do activation, you know, for me, for Nike, PEPSI, coke,

126
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 2: all of these entities. If you don't have that kind

127
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: of experience, you can't start from zero. I was able

128
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: to look at the finances of the beauty and say, hey,

129
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 2: this can work. I was able to look at someone

130
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 2: else's business model and say I can double it, I

131
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: can two times it, or I can increase it by

132
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: sixty six or two thirds percent, and stuff like that.

133
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: But if you don't have all of those skills or

134
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 2: don't have a team, franchising is not a bad scenario

135
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: because you start with support.

136
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: Now here are some four pointers that you talked about

137
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: that you do intelligently and excellently at Glow and Flow

138
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: Beauty by cost effective and high demand products. When you

139
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: say that, what do you mean, Well.

140
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: You know, I've always prided myself and you know, I'm

141
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 2: I got degrees and all that kind of stuff. And

142
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: the corporate stuff in the suites is one place. But

143
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: I'm always with the consumer. I'm always figuring out, like you, Rashan,

144
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: what do the people want you with that you know

145
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: high demand? You know you know what they are demanding.

146
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 2: What that twenty year old, thirty year old, forty year

147
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: old teenage consumer wants so you always have to have that.

148
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 2: And then you have to be cost effecting at buying.

149
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 2: At buying, I buy from different sources throughout the country

150
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: and negotiate shipping so it gets to my locations. So

151
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 2: you have to have that kind of sensibility because I

152
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: will say, if there are some barriers, the barriers are costs.

153
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: You know that inventory. You want to make sure that

154
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: you're buying products competitivelyss versus you know target who can

155
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 2: can outprice you or they can create a lower price

156
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: because they're getting it at a lower price. So you

157
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 2: have to search and do that. So those are two

158
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 2: things you have to know. You got to know what

159
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: the consumers want because it's ever changing. You got to

160
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: make sure you're getting it at a competitive price. Right.

161
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: That competitive price is the key because you don't want

162
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: to move in. And then people because people one thing

163
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: about black people, especially when it comes to beauty, They're

164
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna want to evaluate their dollar spend and then all

165
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden, the reputation can get out that you know,

166
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: this location is a lot higher in this location. It

167
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: might not be fair because that's not how you do business.

168
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 1: But you've done business over the years, and as I've

169
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: seen it. You're in the beauty industry, explain exactly the

170
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: location that you have your two locations in Los Angeles

171
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: correctly currently. Explain those locations to us before I start

172
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: asking some additional questions.

173
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 2: Okay, So we have a location in Inglewood, California, for

174
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 2: those of you who might not know LA That's where

175
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: Sofi Stadium is. That's where the new Intuit Dome is,

176
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: the YouTube scenario they have so ingle And it's where

177
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: the Lakers used to play, the form all that kind

178
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 2: of stuff that's in Inglewood, and it's it's great in

179
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: terms of black and brown support. So that's one thing.

180
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 2: Even though you hear a lot of stuff going on,

181
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: Inglewood has always had a lot of black and brown

182
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: professional women and so that tends to really work well

183
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 2: and that has its product mix. And then our other

184
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 2: location is in Hawthorne that could considered considered maybe South

185
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: Bay or south of LA just slightly south of Inglewood

186
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: and south of the Sofi. It's a different community. It's

187
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: a little more laid back. It's not as accessible like

188
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 2: like you would say you're in La per Se, but

189
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: it has a different, different audience. It is still working

190
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: class of a lot of brown women, a lot of

191
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 2: latinas uh. And then we're not too far from the

192
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: beach communities either. So that brings about a different product offering.

193
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: It brings out.

194
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: About a different level of offering that we can give

195
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: to that consumer.

196
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: Now, David Haley, Glow and Slow Beauty. You come from

197
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: a sports background. Now you're in a beauty field. A

198
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: lot of people are afraid to make transitions. A lot

199
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 1: of people are afraid that because people tell you you

200
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: go out there, maybe mentors or people you don't know,

201
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: or people you know. People are always willing to give

202
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: their opinions. When you made this decision of this conscious

203
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 1: this thought process of saying, you know something I see

204
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: an opportunity to hear, I'm gonna go in it. What

205
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: were the naysayers and how did you or did you

206
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: worry about the naysayers when you felt that Glow and

207
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: Flow Beauty was going to be an option of growth

208
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: for you, create a legacy for you and your family.

209
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, there there were some naysayers. There's still a few

210
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 2: out there that that that want.

211
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: To still out there now, David. Jealous people, jealous people.

212
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would say, you know, there's jealous envy

213
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: and naysayers right, jealous that the haters, but there's some

214
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: that marvel at my ability to just shift, pivot, you know,

215
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 2: swerve whatever they're calling it these days.

216
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 3: But that's my nature. You know.

217
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: My background is really in finance. I know you a

218
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 2: math guy, right right, yep?

219
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 3: I know. That's that's why I love you, that's why

220
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: we connect.

221
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: So so I always tell people if you're not good

222
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: at math and numbers, when you put a dollar sign

223
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 2: in front of it, you're not gonna be good at

224
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,360
Speaker 2: that either, you know. So, so I was a finance dude.

225
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: Then I switched to mark marketing. I launched the UH,

226
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: the marketing office for Nike because somebody saw that I

227
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 2: had the ability to do it, to take a big undertaking,

228
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 2: and so I did that. And then of course I

229
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: launched in my entrepreneurial pursuits with an agency. So I've

230
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: never been fearful of change. If I really can get

231
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 2: behind it, I think I'm a smart enough dude to

232
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 2: figure it out when I saw the people that are

233
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: doing it. Like I said, I mean no offense to

234
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: I've competed with Asians at Berkeley and at University of Michigan.

235
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: When I was getting my MBA and all of that,

236
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 2: and so now I'm just competing with other Koreans. You know,

237
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 2: to do the job better because I know us better.

238
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 2: I know culture better, and I know how to shape

239
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: it and put it in a business model that will win.

240
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: So I think that when I talk to people about

241
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: it like that, they kind of understand to say, okay,

242
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 2: because even when I was in sports, I still work

243
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 2: with the Michael Jordan's, the Lebrons, the Kobe's, but we

244
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: still need to deal with foot locker, which is a

245
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: house of brands. Right in the Nike House of Hoops

246
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: is a house of basketball products. So in working on

247
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 2: that retail scenario, I knew this was no different. This

248
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:01,719
Speaker 2: is a house of brands. So I have to take

249
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: a house of brands and make it make sense. I

250
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: have to treat beauty like sport. I have to treat

251
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: looking good like competition. So all of those things I

252
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 2: bring to the business, and like I said, that's why

253
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: we've been able to flourish for five years.

254
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 4: Now, Please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with

255
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 4: more money making conversations, Masterclass. Welcome back to the Money

256
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 4: Making Conversations Masterclass hosted by Rashaan McDonald.

257
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: Right, let me ask you this about breaking into a

258
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: new game. There are always things that you plan and

259
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: then there are things you go I didn't see that coming. Wow,

260
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Can you talk to my audience

261
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: about some of the hurdles of breaking into the beauty industry.

262
00:14:53,840 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a big rumor out there that Koreans and

263
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: other Asians try to lock us out. I believe that

264
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 2: to be true in two ways. One is it is

265
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: their business, like, even though we're consumers, it's theirs, and

266
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: so anybody that tries to threaten that, you're going to

267
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: have opposition. Two, it's just business, and whether you know,

268
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 2: they compete against each other and they compete harder against us, So.

269
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 3: The competition is a huge one.

270
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: And then two the access to information because I don't

271
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: have a mentor. I can mentor others, but I myself

272
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: didn't have a mentor per se because it's just not

273
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 2: a lot of us that are doing it. So those

274
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: are the big hurdles, which means you have to go

275
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: and search even more for the information. You have to research, read, etc.

276
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 3: To get it.

277
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 2: So that became a big you know when you talk

278
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 2: about trend and when you talk about you know, stay

279
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 2: on top of things, and you don't have anyone to source.

280
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: That's a huge, huge hurdle. In addition to capital, I

281
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: must say that when you are in this space, you know,

282
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm in one, I'm in my Hawthorne location. But it's inventory,

283
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: it's money sitting on the shelves, it's money hanging on

284
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: the wall. So you got to make sure that you

285
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: have enough to fund the venture. And I would say

286
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 2: that we tend to stay stocked with inventory because I

287
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 2: don't want anybody to think that I can't solve their

288
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: problem when they come through the door. Others have that

289
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: luxury to go shopping every Monday after the weekend or

290
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 2: shop on Thursday. Now, when somebody comes in, like you

291
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 2: say that reputation on pricing, you know, well, since it's

292
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: not a lot of us in there, I can't do

293
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 2: group economics to get a lower rate. So my price

294
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: might be a little bit more. But I try to

295
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 2: give you other stuff, you know, I try to give

296
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: you a smile. You come in and you coughing, I'm

297
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: gonna give you some water. You know, we have pretty

298
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: bad yeah, yeah, you know, And I must admit. You know, well,

299
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 2: you know, my wife, the great and the fabulous Diane Valentine,

300
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 2: she is gonna make me super service these women because

301
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: that's what her life and destiny is about. And that's her,

302
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 2: the yin yang. You know, I do my thing, but

303
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 2: but she does her. So we try to create certain

304
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 2: fabulousness around and inexperience too. So like I said, we

305
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,920
Speaker 2: we we we're in breast cancer month, so we celebrate

306
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 2: that because we know we we know our sisters, mom's

307
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: grandma are afflicted by that. So we do that and

308
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 2: others won't because it doesn't mean as much. You know,

309
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,960
Speaker 2: we celebrate Black History Month, we celebrate Black Business Month,

310
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,199
Speaker 2: we celebrate you know, a Hispanic Heritage month. You know,

311
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: we we sell celebrate all of that kind of stuff.

312
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 2: And once again, we create community where you want to

313
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 2: come because you're coming for what you're coming for, but

314
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 2: you're always going to get something extra. So those hurdles

315
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 2: I tend to circumvent with service, detail, caring, love, and consideration.

316
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: Which I appreciate. Now it's two bad headed men here

317
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: by talking about hair. Right hair, but that is such

318
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: a dominant part of your industry. Talk to us about

319
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: how that is, how what really plays into your business model?

320
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: And where do you get your hair?

321
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 2: Here is the cornerstone of our of our beauty industry,

322
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 2: to be honest, I mean that's where it starts. I

323
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 2: mean it starts. We have our own synthetic hairline called Sleigh.

324
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: That's Slay with three wives.

325
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: That's your own that's Glow and Flow Beauties.

326
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 2: It's a it's yeah, it's a separate company. Legally it's separate,

327
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: but it's us. We just we distribute Slay hair. So

328
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 2: we have our product in our own stores. And so

329
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 2: we we felt that.

330
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 3: That's the market that grew the most.

331
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 2: If you look at a bunch of women in all

332
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 2: the braids and the ponytails and the long hair, that's

333
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 2: a huge market. That became my number one seller. So

334
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: I was able to read the data of my first

335
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: Glowing Flow and say, wow, we sell a lot of

336
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: this hair. We need to sell our own, so we we.

337
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 2: And then that's when Diane said, hey, we got to

338
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 2: make it better. We got to make it the best.

339
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: And so so it is synthetic. It still is that

340
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: and we have distribution in TJ Max and Marshall's current

341
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: Thank you and then the first quarter of next year

342
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 2: will will more than likely be in Target and Walmart

343
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: because we are official vendors with Target in Walmart. So

344
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 2: hair is the cornerstone. So that's synthetic. And so when

345
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 2: you see a lot of ladies with the braids, that's synthetic.

346
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: Some of it's crochet where it's all the style is

347
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 2: already there and then you crochet it among your braids.

348
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 3: All of that.

349
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: That's huge because it's low cost. You know it's low cost.

350
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 2: Now when you scale a little bit and you talk

351
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: about human hair, that is a little bit more because

352
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 2: the process on human hair is human when it lasts forever,

353
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 2: and to get it over from Asia and Africa and

354
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 2: Southeast Asia and all of that, it takes a lot

355
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 2: to get it on the shelves. But that's a cornerstone

356
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 2: as well. And we actually had a human hair salon

357
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: before we actually had the retail in Hancock Park, which.

358
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 3: I'm sure you're familiar with. Welt it over.

359
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 2: There, and we decided not to go forward with it

360
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 2: during COVID and to go all in on glow and

361
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,360
Speaker 2: flow the retail side.

362
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 3: But hair is the cornerstone.

363
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 2: We get our we we we get our the formula

364
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 2: for our hair started here, started out of the mind

365
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 2: of dying Valentine and a bunch of black women to

366
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 2: really figure out what the additive to the fiber is.

367
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 2: But it gets manufactured overseas. And then the human hair,

368
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: most of the human hair that we find here in

369
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: the United States is all from from from Asia, certain

370
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 2: parts of Africa and UH and uh Southeast Asia.

371
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 3: And you know the process is just real. Uh.

372
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 2: Young ladies go and they cut their hair and then

373
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 2: it's processed and put on a weft most of the time,

374
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 2: and then it's huged. But but that's that's huge, and

375
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: it's a tarket.

376
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: That's the cornerstone.

377
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 3: That's the cornerstone.

378
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then I would even say, when you talk

379
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: about wet products, are the chemicals to to properly treat

380
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 2: the hair? Like, who knows if we have If you

381
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: and I have better products growing up, we might still

382
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: have ours.

383
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 3: But that in the process.

384
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on now, because we don't have no hair.

385
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 1: David and I, we are shining. We're telling us a

386

387
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: You know, you have a strong marketing background, you understand

388
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: about customer service and activations. And I always say when

389
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: you walk through a door, every damage someone walks in there,

390
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: that's an activation. How they're treated, how they walk out,

391
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,880

00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 2: Hello at Glowinflow Beauty dot com. Hello at Glowinflowbauty dot com.

412
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 2: Put franchise in the in the subject line, and then

413
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 2: that'll come directly to me. And I usually call people

414
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 2: I don't I might send an email, but I always

415
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 2: call people interested because I'm learning what are some of

416
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: the hurdles that other people have when they make the

417
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: call or do the outreach, so that that's an easy one.

418
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: I think for us, US it is being able to

419
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: see glow and Flow in every metropolitan area that services

420
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 2: black and brown women because it's more than just products.

421
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 2: It really creates a community. It creates a belonging. It

422
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 2: creates a space once again that you can come and

423
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: get great information, happy happy vibes. And also we do

424
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 2: like even now, we have what I call back stuff

425
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 2: or so if someone has an initiative or a fundraiser,

426
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I'll put it in everybody's bag, right,

427
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: so it'll get to maybe five thousand people a month,

428
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: you know, on a good month, we get that and

429
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 2: then we help promote. So once again, we know when

430
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 2: we all win, when one of us win we all win.

431
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: So I always look for young people. I always look

432
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 2: for our mature customers to say, hey, what's your big

433
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: win and let's help you get there. And I think

434
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 2: once again, and that's the word of mouth where people

435
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 2: will only want to really come for us. So I

436
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 2: would say someone asked my exit strategy, I would love

437
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 2: to have maybe forty Glow and Flows nationwide. I love

438
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 2: our hair and other products in those stores, and I

439
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 2: could just consult and help like you're doing Rashan, helping

440
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 2: more people capture their dreams, live their dreams, and build

441
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 2: better families.

00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,960

00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: that about you. So you're getting in business if you're

446
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: interested in franchising with a person who who walks to talk,

447
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: He's consistent and he will not ask you for your

448
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: money because he gonna treat your money like it's his money.

449
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: And that's what you're building with Glow and Flow Beauty.

450
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,679
Speaker 1: And he's building a legacy. Like you said, he just

451
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: wants forty stores, but one hundred would really make him smile.

452
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,240
