Thank you for 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:25.880 letting me take a week off, guys. I was sick 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:28.600 with the goddamn flew last week. But I'm here now 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.319 and I got a special guest with me. So the 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.040 last time I had this girl on with me, which 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:35.760 is my sister, I'm just gonna take out who it is. 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:40.080 We did a topic about cosmetic surgery and also having 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:45.400 the disorder body morphia disorder exactly. We also talked about that, 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.519 and she was telling us about me aesthetics, Uh, refresh 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:53.000 them again, So me Aesthetics, they cancel my surgery due 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:57.080 to c v A, which uh can be I guess 0:00:57.080 --> 0:01:00.360 classified as a stroke or as not really clear to fire, 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.040 but in the same family as a stroke. And they 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:04.920 were telling me that I could not get my money back. 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:10.120 But because of that podcast, like just said, I don't 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:13.280 know if you'll remember, you know, verbatim, she literally said, 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:19.160 my podcast reaches many people, and it reached this one 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:23.920 special young lady that did not know me from a 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:25.880 can of paint. This girl reached out to me and 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.280 my d M and told me, says, I can help 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.000 you get your money back. She used to work for 0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:38.200 a bank. She she sat on the phone with me 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.880 estatics and went back and forth with them for like 0:01:40.959 --> 0:01:44.280 forty five minutes and fought to get my money back. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.199 And that just goes to show that they are really 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:50.920 genuine people out here, and that just because someone that 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.920 was or not was, but just because someone is a 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:57.920 fan of you, they reached out to help me and 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:00.720 care about my family too. I offered to give this 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:02.520 lady some money when I get my money back, and 0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:04.360 she was just like, I don't. I don't want that, 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.840 Like I know, I'm gonna get my blessings back right right. 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:10.080 And this is and she's a kind hearted pair of person. 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.280 You can tell that because, like you said, she didn't 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.600 even have to do that. She didn't have to do 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.040 that on on and then she didn't on her day off. 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.200 She did not have to take time out of her 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:23.000 on her day a well, Black people don't like to 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.359 be buffing on their day off, and she she did 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:28.639 that for me on the strength of you. So thank you. 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:32.440 It's just with the mess for letting me touch on that, 0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:36.600 because that's too much money to just be throwing away 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:41.799 like I got like that. Yeah, so you know, black 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.000 people round up. I don't ca if it was. It's 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.239 ten dollars right pretty much. But they so they did 0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.520 take a percentage. They took ten percent out of that. 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:53.200 So I'm getting all but like nine back, which I'm 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.440 just happy to be even getting eight thousands and change back. Yeah, 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:58.760 you know, it was all yours, and it's all old 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.560 to you because they did perform your surgery, and it's 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:05.239 their fault that they didn't, you know what I mean. 0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.280 So they they pretty much breached their own contract, they 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.799 fucked up their own policies or whatever. So that was 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.000 a victory. That was a victory for carefully Reckless. That 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:14.639 was a victory for my sister, and not only for 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:16.680 my sister and carefully Reckless, that was a victory for 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:18.800 me because, like she said, that just goes to show 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.000 how many people actually tune in and how many people 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.959 are actual avid listeners of Carefully Reckless. And so I 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.560 appreciate y'all, like, oh my god, I love y'all so much, 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.560 and thank you for bearing with me while I keep 0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.320 on taking these low breaks y'all. Either I'm busy or 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.880 I'm sick. Just know I ain't taking off for no reason. 0:03:35.080 --> 0:03:38.560 Now speaking of black was that lady black who did it? Yeah? 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.480 She was black? Okay, she she was a black young lady. 0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.920 I mean, like when I say nice, just she was 0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:46.720 really down to earth girl. You know who you are. 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:50.880 Thank you so much, Thank you so much. No, I 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:53.120 do love that. So, like I was saying, speaking of 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:57.040 black the topic is black businesses. Listen. So I was, 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.240 now listen, we know I have a lot out of 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.800 controversies that I battled over the years or whatever. And 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:06.119 I was actually canceled before by my own people, by 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:07.960 the blacks, the only people to have a canceled any 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:12.320 fucking body anyway. And um, yes, I was canceled by 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:17.599 the motherucker's because I had said, um, indirectly direct to them, 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.640 I don't support black businesses. I don't support the black dollar. 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.840 I definitely did say that. I mean, I had celebrities 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.599 in an uproar. I had my own family members, a 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.760 couple of my friends, a couple of my friends who 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.120 are black business owners. You know what I'm saying, both 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.839 small and big business owners. They were quite offended by that. 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.400 Like t I called me and talked to me for 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:42.039 over an hour. The hell yeah, girl, I'm talking about 0:04:42.080 --> 0:04:44.360 I had to grab a fucking thesaurus and a dictionary. 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.760 I'm like, God damn. But no, you know, I totally 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:53.680 understood what he was saying, but I think I didn't elaborate. 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:55.880 I didn't elaborate, And so you know, I'm gonna take 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:57.919 the time today. We're gonna we're gonna talk about that 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.039 ship because it needs to be talked about. Black businesses 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:05.720 are very important. Our businesses are just as important as 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:10.640 these European businesses, these Asian businesses, these Caucasian businesses, these Russians. 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:14.120 Wherever we spend our money and we make it that way, 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.480 and it's up to us to keep it that way. 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:21.320 I don't take it back fully as a statement because 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:25.680 I still don't support all black businesses, because there are 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:30.320 truly some some alterations that need to be done. There 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.360 is some professionalism that needs to be added to the standards. 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.960 There are some fucking standards that need to be added 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:39.120 to businesses. There are some rules and regulations that needs 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.520 to be put in place. There are dudes and don'ts, 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:45.760 There are you know, things that we need to step back. 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:50.680 We need to self evaluate our businesses and be like, yo, 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:55.200 if I take myself outside of myself having a business, 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:57.640 if I was to become a customer, what I buy 0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.800 this ship, what I take this ship off of me 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.719 as a business owner? What I step in this store. 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:06.680 I'm talking about even something as small as business hours. 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.880 Like if if I walk up to your business and 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:13.520 it says open, but your door is closed and is 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:17.120 locked because you ran out. You're the only one working 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.800 that day and you ran out of something or you 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.200 just didn't get up and feel like come to work today. 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:26.480 You know that's that's horrible. That's horrible as a business. 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.600 That don't only look bad on you, that reflects on 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.520 the business. But you know what, um, just to touch 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.400 on that real quick. I went to Giants the market 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:40.320 Food and pharmacy, Giant Food and Pharmacy, and the manager 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:44.440 of the store is black, and they closed the store. 0:06:44.960 --> 0:06:47.200 It was like ten forty five The store wasn't due 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.839 to close until eleven PM. But I went there. I 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.760 pulled up on the parking lot, walked up to the door, 0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:55.520 pull on the door. The door is lost locked at 0:06:55.520 --> 0:07:00.320 ten forty five pm. The hours are eleven PM. Is 0:07:00.360 --> 0:07:03.080 what it's supposed to close. So not only is it 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:09.800 just black businesses, it's also businesses ran by people. Yeah, 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:13.600 black operated businesses. Yeah, that that's that's definitely true. Um 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:18.320 even the self employed uh service you know, like hairstylists 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:22.440 and you know, nail text and lash texts and all 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.280 of that stuff. You know, a lot of them start 0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:26.680 off great, very professional. Oh my god, I don't I 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:28.720 don't know if it's whether they're star struck or not, 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:32.440 like you know, but they start off amazing great, and 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.960 then I guess with my personality and you know, I'm 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.520 very inviting, I'm very uh down the earth or you 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.520 know what have you? And I and I actually talked. 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.160 I love I love to talk. I love to get 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.320 to know people. People get comfortable over time, and then 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:47.280 they start doing what they want to do and ship 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.200 like that, you know, they start being late and ship. Girl, 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.800 I asked somebody do my fucking lashes one time, and 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:55.800 she was so cool. Not the girl I go to now, 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.160 but somebody did my lashes one time. She was doing 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:02.160 them consecutively for over like maybe like two months, you know, 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.120 and this would made me stop going to or I 0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:08.720 had an appointment earlier in the morning, like seven forty 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:11.520 five or something like that. She was always she had 0:08:11.560 --> 0:08:16.000 already started being late. This bitch asked me, can you 0:08:16.040 --> 0:08:19.560 come pick me up? She was dropping her car off 0:08:19.640 --> 0:08:22.800 somewhere or whatever. She was like, do you mind come 0:08:22.800 --> 0:08:25.600 picking me up? Jass? Like, first of all, bitch, I 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.800 need for you to still act like we ain't friends. 0:08:27.880 --> 0:08:30.480 We're not friends, that's what we're not. But I just 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:35.960 need for you to seriously act like I'm still a 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:40.200 stranger or I'm sorry, I'm a fucking client. Yeah, pretty much. 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:45.200 I mean, I don't care how many times that we 0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:48.720 have talked about personal business or you have. You know, 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:51.120 I've given you advice or you've given me advice, or 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.440 we have gotten deep in our talks while you're sitting 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.400 there doing my god them lasses and I'm laying there 0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.640 with my eyes closed all that time. It don't matter 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:01.000 how much we've bonded, my nigga, do not ask me 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.199 to come get you. I feel like when you are 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.719 receiving a service, whether it's from a friend or a 0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:10.080 family member, at that moment, that is your client. They're 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:12.720 not your friend, they're not your family member. They are 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:16.559 your client. This is this is your business. They are 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.440 your clients, and they need to treat it as such. 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.920 With it and like even with the hairstyles, like these days, 0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.000 it's so many fucking rules. And I'm telling you it's 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.120 I don't know. Y'all can tell me if I'm wrong. 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.280 I'm not trying to be prejudiced against my own people, 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.800 but I feel like it is only or solely the 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.319 black people. It is only black people that will be like, yo, 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.920 you gotta come with your hair wash. Yeah, And I've 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:45.920 I've heard that countless times. I've actually, on a personal note, 0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:49.760 I've actually experienced a young lady. I wanted the book 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.520 and get my head done, and I saw on her 0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:55.320 on her page, on her website, whatever it was, I 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.480 saw that it says you must come with your hair washed. 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:02.000 Now I've reached out to her. Hey, you know, I 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.600 see that you said I have to come with my 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.840 hair wash. Now, is there any way that I could 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.360 pay an additional fee where you can shampoo my hair? 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:13.480 And what it say on the website, what it say 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:15.640 on the website, you know, what's this? Never mine? Because 0:10:15.679 --> 0:10:17.319 I don't even I don't EVENANNT come to get my head. 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.320 She said that to you? Yeah, on the website.

I just I just mentioned 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:26.640 that in the beginning that I see that it says 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.040 on here blah blah blah blah blah, asking but is 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.599 there any way I can pay anything additional? I'm not 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:36.280 trying to get, like just an option for me to 0:10:36.280 --> 0:10:38.000 get for you to wash my hair. But some people 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.080 have that option. Idn't know if it was an option. 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:41.840 That's why I asked the clothes mouth don't get fed. 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:45.200 But because of how she came off at me, like bitch, 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:46.560 I don't even want to come and get my hair 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:47.960 done no more at this point because I'm end up. 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:51.000 Let me shoot out you for that add to like definitely, 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:55.400 like a lot of black black businesses have problems with 0:10:55.600 --> 0:11:03.880 like you were saying, hospitality, they don't have it. Now 0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:05.760 we're gonna take a brief break. You can go grab 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.120 you something to eat, something to drink, something like that, 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:15.600 and then it's always so much tension and so much hostility, 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.839 like you didn't want to get up and come to 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:21.040 work today, But this is your motherfucking business. You work here, 0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:26.320 even if it ain't your business, you work you you 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.120 even in any event where you couldn't get another job, 0:11:30.480 --> 0:11:32.760 but this one, this is the only job you could get. 0:11:33.440 --> 0:11:35.600 It should be thankful because you still have a job. 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.400 There are people with no fucking job. Act like you 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:40.640 like what you do. You know what I mean? You 0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:43.040 could be so much further in life, and then you 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:45.679 don't know how you would make a person's day, you know, 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.840 just being nice, you know what I'm saying. So like 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:51.160 customer service, that ship matters. That was another reason why 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.200 I said I didn't want to support black businesses. But 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:55.880 I need to you understand, I'm gonna keep saying it. 0:11:56.000 --> 0:12:02.040 Understand I solely meant certain black businesses. I don't want 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:06.000 to support all black businesses because all black businesses, in 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.360 my opinion, are not worthy of my money. Now y'all 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:11.560 can say the same ship about me. I have doctor Who. 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.040 That's a fitness apparel line that I have as a 0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:19.040 wage trainers, UH, workout gear, all types of ship like that. Now, 0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:23.280 if you've ever received any any you know, bad service 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:25.360 from me or whatever, I will want to be the 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:28.040 first to know we could fix it. I'll get it together. 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:32.599 I've never given anybody bad customer service, me or anybody 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.520 from my team. You know what I mean, but I 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:41.880 would definitely be open to any criticism. That's another thing 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:48.200 black They do not like it. They feel like you're 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:49.760 just trying to put them down. You can come to 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:52.120 them in the nicest way possible, like hey, you know, 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:54.720 you know, and you could be a business owner, just 0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:57.120 like from one business owner to another, like, hey, you know, 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:58.719 I'm a business owner to like, I don't want you 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.320 to think I'm trying to knock you, but try to like, well, 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:02.920 I run my ship, how round my ship? And you 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:04.760 run your ship? How you run your ship? Like whoa? 0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:08.920 Like hold up, Like I'm just trying to I'm just 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:10.640 trying to give you a little insight, like you know, 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.319 and I feel like some people are just way better 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.800 business savvy than other people. Like everybody don't got it. 0:13:18.520 --> 0:13:22.000 Everybody don't got it. Like some people are better off 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:27.520 like in the in in the background, like maybe doing 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.800 paperwork or something like that, not physically dealing with people, 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.680 and you know, like okay, So like for instance, when 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.200 I first started this ship, I wasn't good because I 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:38.960 wasn't this patient with people. I really didn't like dealing with, 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.480 you know, being approached about whether something went wrong or not. 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.160 So not even with doctor who I'm talking about. Like 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.080 when I first started that, I didn't never want to 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:50.720 talk to anybody about business. So I put my cousin 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:54.079 in place to run my business because she's always been 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:57.040 business savvy. My cousin London, she's my assistant as well. 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:01.200 She runs a lot of my business is for me, 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:04.560 and that's who I put in place. Until I became 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:09.520 business savvy enough to, you know, work as an active CEO, 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.000 I was behind the scenes. I'm like, look, I'll pay you. 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:13.560 I put you in place to do this ship right 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.120 here because I don't want to deal with nobody telling 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:18.720 me that down. Like this ship now, like that ship now, 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:20.920 because I'm a want slapp ship like that. But when 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.120 you grow out of that type of ship and you 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.720 really like you it's not for everybody. Being running a 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:28.840 business is not for everybody. You have to have a 0:14:28.880 --> 0:14:31.800 great amount of patients. You have to have a perseverance. 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:33.960 You have to have endurance because you will endure a 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.400 whole lot. You would endure broke times, you will endure 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.920 the grind, you will endure it all. I'm telling you 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.440 were running to nasty people. That's what it really is. 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:47.120 Because you like when you first first, like first first first, first, 0:14:47.160 --> 0:14:51.520 first started before like you became like juicin Lar, Justinlar 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:57.080 before London, Me trying to with you and me. You're 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.800 going back and forth and you know she's a boss zella. Okay. 0:15:02.640 --> 0:15:04.480 I didn't want to deal with that. She is a 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.840 little monster, y'all. I'm telling like, And I was like, 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:09.880 really like just going back and forth, and she like 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:14.840 this a little half she sat day and it was like, shake, 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.000 you ain't checked this and checked that. And I'm like, well, ship, 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.920 I do got three kids, like I'm trying, well, ship, 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:21.960 I could have missed this, so I could have missed that. 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.800 I'm like, well, ship, do this ship your damn stuff. 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:26.360 I can't. I can't do this ship. And then she 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.600 was like I can't do this ship either, Chris, do 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:32.360 this ship. Look, I know I asked the poor Dumbas's 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:35.800 boyfriend to do, like you how to do a sucking gamble, 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:37.880 So I was in the fucking ship. It was it's 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.080 really it's really overwhelming. And like I said, if you're 0:15:40.120 --> 0:15:43.000 not business savvy and like really like, if you don't 0:15:43.040 --> 0:15:45.600 know how to do that kind of ship, it can 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.160 be overwhelming. And just like it was overwhelming for you, 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:52.360 and it was definitely overwhelming for me. I was like, look, 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:57.760 I'm getting fussed at. I'm like, I'm trying. I'm trying 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:03.040 for that ship. Shout out London, because London, I think 0:16:03.080 --> 0:16:06.200 heard that experience with the being a Comcast that helped 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:09.840 her dealing with all the other crazy motherfucker's London does 0:16:09.920 --> 0:16:15.000 her damn thing. She she talks very well, she'd be 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:19.160 she'd be handling that ship. I heard on a business 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.600 call not too long. I was like, damn, I ain't 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.320 even know you knew what the funk that meant. She 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.280 was like, yeah, bitch, I'm smart, like I'm just a 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:27.200 little rich ship. But yeah, I was like, oh my god, 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.760 she's that's not her her voice when she talked to 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.200 business people with Ship, when she talked to these other 0:16:32.280 --> 0:16:34.760 businesses and these higher ups and ship. But yeah, you know, 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:37.240 so that back to what I was saying, you know, 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.040 it's it's very fucking over woman. But that's where you 0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:43.720 have to have either, you know, a patient mind, a 0:16:43.800 --> 0:16:46.040 patient personality. You have to be open to learn. You 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:50.000 have to be open to criticism. Yo, It's okay because 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:54.880 it doesn't Criticism does not mean insulting, like it's not 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:56.800 like somebody not trying to come at you. That's one 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:58.720 thing about black people. We always feel like somebody is 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:02.240 trying to come for us, somebody is trying to disrespect us. Honestly, 0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:05.680 that ship criticism makes you better, even if it is disrespectful. 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:09.280 Take that ship with a grain of salt and just 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:13.400 keep applying pressure to these motherfucker's. Just make yourself better 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.280 no matter what. You never stopped. Consistency is the key, 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.760 and that's how I've stayed relevant all these years. That's 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:26.520 how a lot of small businesses they have like flourished 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.840 and blossomed into huge businesses. Now a lot of black 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:34.159 businesses are are fucking huge now that I've watched some, 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:36.399 I've watched grow like you know what I mean, Like 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:38.440 I'm gonna shout out, just just a couple of black 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:44.520 swanker push yes, like Swank Swank has came Uh, they 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:49.240 have come up. I love it. I work with Swank, 0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:51.920 you know, doing a brand of bass of the program, 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:54.280 and I love it. They are really they really down 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:59.000 the earth. And it's the black woman from Detroit doing 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:01.520 the damn thing. She is doing her things. And listen, 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:04.000 I'm gonna tell you this one. I got into it 0:18:04.160 --> 0:18:06.200 one of their representatives, and I honestly feel like this 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:09.280 is why they don't use me for Brandon basson in anymore. Um, 0:18:09.760 --> 0:18:11.320 I don't know if this girl is still there, but 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:16.520 so they okay, okay, well should I'll reach back out 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:18.679 because I actually do you love their clothes. But that's 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.000 why I said, I don't know if this girl is 0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.879 there anymore. But um, it wasn't the owner. It was 0:18:23.000 --> 0:18:24.879 one of their representatives or whatever. It was, somebody my 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:27.239 point of contact. I was doing Brandon Bassoning for them, 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:31.359 and I that I asked for a certain pair of 0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:33.720 jeans to be said to me because I'm a person 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.399 that I only wear it with looks good on me, 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.600 you know, like everybody should you know. And if I 0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.440 don't like it, I'm not gonna want to promote it 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:42.919 because if I don't feel comfortable in it, how I'm 0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:46.399 gonna sell it for you? Of so, um I did that. 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:50.840 I was like, yo, uh, I don't like this what 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:52.920 y'all sent me, and something like that, like that's not 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:54.560 what I asked for and it's too big and the 0:18:54.600 --> 0:18:56.760 pants or droopy, and the girl kind of got smart 0:18:56.800 --> 0:18:59.639 and I'm like, well, listen, y'all, as is doing all this, 0:19:00.000 --> 0:19:02.480 I ain't even got you all damn tags, y'all don't 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:06.359 have tags. Y'all basically bought these James from such and 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:11.840 such and put your name on the packaging. So if 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:14.960 you really really want to take some criticism, like get 0:19:15.080 --> 0:19:17.480 get a little bit more better with your fucking packaging 0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:20.119 and get your ship together. And even though I was 0:19:20.200 --> 0:19:22.679 being smart, that was still some criticism for the owner. 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:24.880 But I was being smart because she was being smart 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.480 to me. And I'm telling you, like, a couple of 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:30.920 months down the line, they had their own tags in 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.800 their fucking and they have the you know, like the 0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:40.840 the tag lists. So like that I said that that. 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:42.720 I don't know if it was only me that said 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:44.840 it or whatever, but I've seen a change in because 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:46.960 I was still ordering shipped from them, even though I 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:48.800 didn't want to do brandon besting them from them afore, 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:50.639 I still was ordering because I was like, I do 0:19:50.760 --> 0:19:54.440 like the way these James fit me, you know, And 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.879 I was like, damn, yo, that's good. Like that's an 0:19:56.920 --> 0:20:00.399 example of criticism working people taking it, know what I mean? 0:20:00.560 --> 0:20:06.040 So another one Klata scope, yo, Jessica BB Judy. She 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:10.600 like that woman. She is she she's really she's having 0:20:10.680 --> 0:20:15.639 seen you know my baby girl, you're you're my niece. 0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:19.600 The child looks like me and just like just like me. 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:23.240 So she was cursed period. But she you know, she's 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:28.240 she works for BB Judy Jessica with her Calotta Kids line. 0:20:28.240 --> 0:20:31.600 And when I tell you that woman is a fucking 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:37.320 marketing genius. When I tell you like her strategies. I 0:20:37.320 --> 0:20:39.720 don't know who's what teams she got working for her, 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.840 but they she got to SeeMe a beast. That's a 0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:47.640 that's another one. UM. Good customer service, UM can take 0:20:47.720 --> 0:20:51.840 constructive criticism and you know exactly yo. I've never yo, 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:55.679 I'm telling you, I've never heard anyone talk bad about 0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:58.840 you know, the service or customer service or even when 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:01.840 when the people give criticism, she'll listen like because she's 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.560 actually good with kids as well. Um super si yo. 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:13.320 I remember keep calling her my damn cousin. I love 0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.240 them to down.

Actually, I 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:25.159 an't even to cut you off. That's another thing with 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:29.520 certain black people. They have these businesses that try to 0:21:29.600 --> 0:21:32.400 tear other black businesses down, but then you have people 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:37.680 like Judy and Super that are helping to build one 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.239
