1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, because I know not

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: only are your entrepreneur, but you're really getting the politics.

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to be. That was the segue.

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,319
Speaker 3: That was the sailing because what you just said is

5
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 3: what you said about the president. Now, like I don't

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 3: have to like him or even vote for him, but

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 3: if he does something that helps my community, I should

8
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:18,360
Speaker 3: take advantage of that.

9
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 2: Because I'm taking advantage, taking advantage of everything I'm telling.

10
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,280
Speaker 4: But that's every president. Yeah, that ain't this president. Now

11
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 4: that there has been no president that has been for

12
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 4: the black.

13
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: Community to take that, Yeah, that's the fact.

14
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 4: That's that has been no president that has been for

15
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 4: the black community. But if your policy affects the black

16
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 4: community in a positive way, which can affect the greater community,

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 4: I have to pay you some attention. Is that if

18
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 4: I have to pay you something, you don't take Obamas

19
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 4: for No. I'm clear of what I say and how

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 4: I say. There has been no president that's for the

21
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 4: black community. But if that president playing in any way

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 4: or policy helps the black community, I'm for that thing.

23
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 2: You get what I'm saying.

24
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 4: I rate all us presidents at about a CE different

25
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 4: variations from a C minus down into the d's too.

26
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 4: You know, when you start off with slave masters at

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 4: presidents that's a really funky comment. So you have to

28
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 4: spend your life as a person of color reconciling the

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 4: fact that the dollars that in your pocket, the dead men,

30
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 4: the slave masters that are only that that that give

31
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 4: you worth and value to the things you're doing own people,

32
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 4: and that wealth is something. So you know, when we

33
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,839
Speaker 4: get walk, when we get mad, we want to castigate

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 4: rappers and then are tinners and chit yill right, thank your.

35
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: Money you have there to do, japs though you're twenty

36
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: dollar bill.

37
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 4: That you're tipping the stripper with genocide on people that

38
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 4: were from Middle of America and that were red and were.

39
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: Here before you got here.

40
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 4: So you're passing a genocidal bill to pay for your

41
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 4: Sarah and your your need to get grinded off.

42
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: And you've never.

43
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 4: Chastised yourself enough to say, I'll only pay my PayPal

44
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: because our vote or greenwood.

45
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 2: So I'm by the way.

46
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 4: You know what, you know, man, it matters of money.

47
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 4: We had better learn that we're going to have to

48
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 4: pack some emotion to the side to accomplish specific dolls

49
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 4: from a monetary standpoint, so that we can take care

50
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 4: of ourselves because no one's coming to savings, nothing's coming

51
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 4: out of sky to save us. Karma, although it's a

52
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 4: nice concept. Evil people live longer and they seem to

53
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: be happier. George Bushton down he was ninety middle something.

54
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: So but you were, you were supporting Bernie Sanders. Absolutely,

55
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: so you work, you have progressive I guess liberal views.

56
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: If if voting for Bernie Sanders takes my taxes up

57
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 4: out of the forties into the fifties, just as succeed

58
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 4: takes care of the next twenty five to thirty years

59
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: of Americans in terms of education, health care, trade that

60
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 4: trade and college education and basics and and extensive health care,

61
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 4: and provide social programs that grow us as a country.

62
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 4: I have no aversion to supporting it, and in fact,

63
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 4: I think that much of his policy has been raped, robbed,

64
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 4: and looted by both parties at this point, versus us

65
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 4: getting behind the person who wanted to give us everything

66
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 4: we would have needed during this pandemic, including some type

67
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 4: of universal income, including some type of health care that

68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 4: was universal leading toward it, including decriminalization of marijuana, including

69
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 4: a federal task force that would have dealt with Row

70
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 4: Police House, including all these seas that would have affected us.

71
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 4: But because we didn't do it, because we didn't go

72
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: that move, or because we got robbed of it, or whatever,

73
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 4: the theory is being, you gotta you know, you gotta

74
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 4: do with what you got, and you better master your coin,

75
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 4: you know, because we're we're in a system where as

76
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: much as they want to say they care like Vernion,

77
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 4: they don't. And if you're not going to allow me

78
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 4: to pay my ten or fifteen extra to let someone

79
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 4: like he'll eat the way, don't get mad. And I'm

80
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: gonna try to keep an extra ten of fifteen percent

81
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 4: and figure out who the fuck trump tax.

82
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: But I you know I didn't. I didn't vote for

83
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 2: the evil person. I wanted that, Ernests, What's up?

104
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 5: people think podcasts about work are boring, and sure, they

105
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 5: definitely can be, but understanding a professional's routine shows us

106
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 5: how they achieve their success little by little, day after day.

107
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 5: It's like banking with P and C Bank. It might

108
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 5: seem boring to save, plan and make calculated decisions with

109
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 5: your bank, but keeping your money boring is what helps

110
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 5: you live or more happily fulfilled life. P and C

Speaker 5: National Association Member FDIC.

115
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 3: I want to go back to I want to go

116
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: back to Greenwood for a second, because a lot of times,

117
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: and even in the book, it dies into the fact

118
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 3: of black banks being put in neighborhoods right where deposits

119
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: weren't coming in at a frequent rate, and so they

120
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 3: had to charge higher interest rates when they weren't loaning

121
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 3: out money because most of people don't really understand how

122
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 3: banks make money.

123
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, the lows right.

124
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 3: So my thing is like, is Greenwood is there going

125
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: to be similar how other interest rates are going to

126
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 3: be competing with the big banks?

127
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 4: So that the first first versus deposits saving. So it's steps,

128
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 4: this is where we are first. First, the goal is

129
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: to wipe out check fashion, to wipe out the main

130
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 4: the main parasites in poor and working class people fly.

131
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 4: So you know, people here saved twenty forty bus sound

132
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 4: like much to them, But when you're talking about now

133
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 4: you can save ten percent of your income, what about

134
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 4: let person gets to raise and get five on your

135
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: thousand on. Now you're saving more money. So that is

136
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 4: the attack, and the next phase is in loans and

137
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: home ownership, automobile.

138
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: Ownership, and in the phase after that.

139
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 4: So I like the fact that Ryan is, unlike in

140
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 4: the past, is not trying to do everything himself at

141
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: the same time as much as he's seeking And they're

142
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 4: talking to allies at this moment realizing who are they

143
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 4: going to get into business with in terms of partnering

144
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 4: with larger institutions that recover, who are the institutions that

145
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 4: your money is actually going to be sitting with, and

146
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 4: as a platform, what they can do to reduce the

147
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 4: even cost of you, help you become more financially literate, help.

148
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 3: You to save and something. And that's the first step.

149
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 3: Eradicate the check cash. Yes, pushing the back of the

150
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: day was also the sofone store.

151
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 2: Absolutely, that's level.

152
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: Then we got the deposits and loans, and so I

153
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 3: guess the next the last things would be business loans.

154
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 2: Small business loans. Yeah what small man.

155
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 4: Now, I don't think that's the last stage. I just

156
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 4: think that I just think that if you're going to

157
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 4: run nine miles. Plot out your first three, then plot

158
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 4: out your next three, and then your final three. Right,

159
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 4: So let's just say those are the first three miles. Yeah,

160
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 4: and I saw I wrestling.

161
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: Where Ryan said, like, I think fifty percent of black businesses, Oh,

162
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 1: black businesses get loans at fifty percent lower rate white businesses.

163
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 4: I think it's we're returned, yeah, at fifty percent lower rates.

164
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 4: We're also denied in comparable application. We're denied twenty one

165
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 4: percent of the time in white's on eight.

166
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So, and so I'm assuming that's something that you

167
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: guys will be trying to eradicate.

168
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 4: As far as with Greenswood, there's definitely going to be

169
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: you know, Greenwood is not Superman, doesn't come in the

170
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 4: same What it is is a part of the Avengures.

171
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 4: It's a part of alternative ways now for us to

172
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: take control around dollars. And that's everything from a new

173
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 4: black credit union that's popping up. It's everything from the

174
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 4: traditional black banks that are already in the market, whether

175
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 4: it be Citizens Trust or Carver or One United, and

176
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: that's new platform and fintech like Greenwood. You know, I'm

177
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 4: an advocate for you know, if you want to if

178
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 4: you want to get the freedom, take a whole lot

179
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 4: of buses, you know, don't depend on everyone going in

180
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 4: one bus, you know what I'm saying. And he even

181
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 4: told me and Ryan don't travel together, you know what

182
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 4: I mean. He's just like what you guys are doing

183
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 4: is that, See don't even travel together. Because if freedom

184
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: is the objective, there may be slightly different variations up,

185
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 4: but we'll get there even if it's not at the

186
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 4: same time. But I think we need a lot of

187
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 4: pistons firing and an engine, not just one, and we

188
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 4: have to we have to begin to end. I would

189
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 4: want or or need to critique or overly criticize based

190
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 4: on a cast failure.

191
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: Because the failure is something you learned from that, and

192
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: that's the part.

193
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: It was like if people understood their relationship with the money,

194
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 3: they would understand. It's like if my iPhone breaks, I

195
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 3: don't say I'm never using Apple. I'm just gonna get

196
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 3: another iPhone, you know what I mean. But if we like,

197
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 3: and I bank with citizens or shout out to citizens,

198
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: but if they like, if they mess up with deposit,

199
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 3: It's not like y'all never banking with them again.

200
00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,680
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give them the same thing. We gotta get it fixed.

201
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 4: And again that's why I tell people like one day

202
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 4: as a leader, which I wasn't even in the in

203
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 4: the space to be, but they pay another people like

204
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 4: that black women to make you leave.

205
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: But you know, I'm gonna say my bad, I fucked

206
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 4: Up my graduates from my school being force back drop

207
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 4: back drop, Mike drop, back drop drop
