63
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: a little bit right now because I want to talk

64
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: about your your career and your your academic training. You

65
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: are a double HBC. You graduate uh No the last

66
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: two years said last two years, there's been a huge

67
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: momentum for the academic success, capabilities accomplishments as being achieved

68
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: by people who have attended HBCUs are currently attending HBCUs.

69
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: Talk about your experience and talk about any motivational statements

70
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: you can say about HBC schools. Okay, So, I graduated

71
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: from Tennessee State University and also Mahrry Medical College. Prior

72
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: to attending Tennessee State University, I had attended Brooklyn College

73
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: in New York, which is not an HBCU, and my

74
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: experience there was quite different from my experience at Tennessee

75
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: State University. When you are in a majority school and

76
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: majority and quote, you don't get the I felt. I

77
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: did not get the attention, I did not get the motivation.

78
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: I did not get the help and career planning that

79
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 1: I received at Tennessee State University. And seeing people who

80
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: look like you as heads of departments, as your counselors,

81
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: as your as your everything. It changes you. It makes

82
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: you want to do better. It gives you hope. If

83
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: they can do it, I can do it. Plus, they

84
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: tend to have your same cultural background, so they know

85
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: where you are coming from, relatable stories, relatable experiences. You

86
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: know about the challenges you will face once you receive

87
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: this degree are currently facing as an everyday person of

88
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: color in this country, especially during that time and especially

89
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: the times we're living right now. It's just that the curtain.

90
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: Uh they say, there's a magic show, you know, the

91
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: wizard behind the curtain. We can see the wizard. He's

92
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: actually and now we're trying to let everybody know that

93
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: we're tired of that same game. And both both as

94
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:38,479
Speaker 1: perfectly in the justice systems in the financial system. But

95
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 1: I just want to bring up Mahrry Medical College that

96
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: is a famous school for medical training. What makes that

97
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: school so special. That school is so special, very special

98
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: to me again because that is a African American run

99
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: school and you have the president, it is African American.

100
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: When my class graduated, I won't tell you the year

101
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: from years ago, we had the largest female ever at

102
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: Harry at that time. Now it's probably fifty fifty. And

103
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: so the time that those instructors took with us, just

104
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: seeing again you are what you see and just seeing

105
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: black doctors concentrated, caring about you, caring about your education.

106
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: It makes a difference because I did my residency in

107
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: a majority hospital, and the difference is proclound. Qualified to compete,

108
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about, qualified to compete, to to exhale.

109
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: You know, when I when I look at when when

110
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: you were talking about your class at the time, and

111
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,440
Speaker 1: I look at African American women today, um most notably

112
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: for want slide in the politics, more likely that Joe

113
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,600
Speaker 1: Biden's vice presidential Canada is probably going to be an

114
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: African American female. And I look at a lot of

115
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: the cities that are being run that have prominently created

116
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: prominent varces Washington, d City, Atlanta, Georgia. Stacy, you know,

117
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: these these these forces are proven to be very significant

118
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: and very because we all know in the democratic world

119
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: that the African American woman has played a prominent role

120
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: in the vote, in the vote, and she absolutely has,

121
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: and it's been ignored, it's not counted, it's not publicized.

122
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: And that's what that's why, you know, one of the

123
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: things that I got the opportunity to bring you on

124
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: the show, it was it was your activism, your your

125
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: strength and your because we're going to talk about all

126
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: your accomplices currently. But I always say it's a journey

127
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: to get through you. I have a journey in my life.

128
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: And when I when I talk about the Black Panther

129
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: organizations that that that something were basically undersieged by the

130
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: government where miss miss uh bad propaganda was put out

131
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: about them. You when I see uh, when I see

132
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: uh white man going up to the state capital of

133
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: Michigan carrying guns and then everybody going, I'm cool, aren't

134
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: you cool? You know what Black panthers were doing the

135
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: same thing and guess what shot at, killed, arrested. Talk

136
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: about your experience during that period and and if you

137
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: can't pull back the curtain a little bit and let

138
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: us know what exactly was the purpose and some of

139
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: the things that was done to undermine the Black Panther movement. Okay,

140
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: so as a teenager, I joined the Black Panther Party

141
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: along with a lot of the teenagers. And at that time,

142
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: you had Snick, you had Double a c P. You

143
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: had Malcolm X, you had Stokely call Michael. These are

144
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: all the people that I remember from my teenage years.

145
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: And and during that time, the Black Panther Party had

146
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: its own philosophy about you know, non don't lay them,

147
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, don't just sit there peacefully. That was the philosophy.

148
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: But the other plosophy was community involvement. Some of the

149
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: things that the Panther Party asked for all of those

150
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: years ago, because you remember we're talking the sixties, early seventies.

151
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: One of the first things they said was an into

152
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: police brutality. So what's going on now is nothing new.

153
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: We want education, I'm trying to remember it from all

154
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: those years. We want education for our people. That's not new.

155
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: We want adequate housing and healthcare. These were the tenants

156
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,959
Speaker 1: of the Black Panther Party, and the Black Panther Party

157
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: felt we could not get those rights because they were

158
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 1: all rights. We all pay taxes without without some strong

159
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: commands towards to the government and U and that led

160
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: to them being um counterprogrammed in a way with the media,

161
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: attacked by local police and UH and the government and

162
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: killed and killed. I've known people in the party who

163
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: were killed. And that's the same part about it, and

164
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: in the same part about it is that as I

165
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: watch America open up, it's an old wound that's always

166
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 1: been there. We've all people of color, you know, always

167
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 1: tell peoplehen I walk in the room, or you know

168
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: who I am. Okay, I am a black man walking

169
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: to the room. That is nothing I can disguise. And

170
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: so that means that I've had to compete against my

171
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: own skin color all my life. And that's not fat.

172
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: That's not fat. And so you've you've been in a

173
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: competitive world all your life as well, but that has

174
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: not slowed your success story. Let's let's start with let's

175
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: move a little bit from the medical, let's movement from

176
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: the activism. Let's go to you, being the CEO and

177
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: publisher Impeccable Magazine. Tell us about that. Okay, So I'm

178
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: always concerned about the image that we have, and I

179
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: feel that our image is uh not. We are not

180
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: given the best image in main street media. And so

181
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: as I have a daughter and I was of course

182
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: I'm a black woman, and the images we have we

183
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,440
Speaker 1: just don't We just don't see ourselves in a positive

184
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: like we don't see our hair, we don't see our beauty,

185
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: we don't see our culture. So Impeccable Magazine was born

186
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: out of the need to give black woman, a black

187
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 1: young woman, a publication that they could see, that they

188
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: can see themselves, they can see their beauty, they can

189
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: see their intelligence. We also we have also given artisans

190
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: the opportunity to be published for the first time, a

191
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: lot of them for the first time. You have writers,

192
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: you have stylish you have photographers, you have models. A

193
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: lot of them cannot get into mainstream media, so we

194
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 1: have published them. We also have provided some scholarships. But

195
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: the main thing is for the magazine. I wanted to

196
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 1: I strongly feel that you are what you see and

197
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: you are what you don't see. If you constantly see

198
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: negative images of yourself, then you start taking on that

199
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: persona so I wanted to give all women and alternative.

200
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: When I was growing up, I had to read seventeen magazine.

201
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: I didn't see absolutely that's true. That that's true, and

202
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: that's that's important. A lot of people understand that, you know,

203
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: because what happens is if you don't see yourself, you

204
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: start trying to shift yourself to look like something that

205
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: you're not, and you start to think that what you

206
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: are is not right or you start questioning can you

207
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: succeed with that look that you were born right? And

208
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: and so that's really what I think. Some ways social

209
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: media has accelerated that thought process. You know, plastic surgery

210
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: and the African American community is on the rise. More

211
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 1: people were concerned about likes, more people concerned about how

212
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: the position of their different body parts are. And and

213
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: just just to just to generate some type of uh

214
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 1: loaning for hey, this is me and but your magazine

215
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: which I have up, we have the departments like fashion, beauty,

216
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: and hair. And I love the wig department, that wig

217
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: section that you have in your because I got to

218
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: pull up on my screen and be able to talk

219
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: about this. But when you talk about fashion, you talk

220
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: about beauty, you talk about hair, which is the very

221
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,079
Speaker 1: core of not only just the African American community, but

222
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: community of color. So just before we go we leave

223
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,200
Speaker 1: out his break, you know, having fashion, having beauty and

224
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 1: hair expound on that importance of that imagery that is

225
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,199
Speaker 1: important that when we look we see somebody like us.

226
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 1: We see somebody that shares an experience or culture that

227
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: we can carry out the door and feel comfortable with wearing.

228
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: It's very empowering when you see your images in a

229
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: very positive manner, and it also boost your self esteem,

230
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: which is going to help you make better decisions. But

231
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: in the magazine, we also have articles on health. We

232
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 1: feed to each month UH Black Museum, so that you

233
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: can get further information in terms of a lot of

234
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: people don't know that there are a lot of schools

235
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: that have Black archives. So if you don't know your history,

236
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 1: you can't move forward. So we have a feature each

237
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: month we feature women and men in the community whom

238
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: we call unparalleled. They are successful and they have made

239
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: significant contributions to um the black Black community, the fashion,

240
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: beauty lifestyle. We're unique. Were unique in that we have

241
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: a sense of fashion. My mom used to tell me

242
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: God rest the soul. She said, back in the nineteen twenties.

243
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: We see on TV the Flappers, you know, we see

244
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: the Charleston my mom said, black people have passed that

245
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: stage long time ago, by the time we got the

246
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: nineteen twenties. Absolutely, I'm talking to Dr Alicia kane Um

247
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: and also enjoying all these covers that are because if

248
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: you go to the website, it just pops up all

249
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,000

00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: Uh hear Cracker on the cover. It's a it's a

252
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: it's a beautiful magazine that it should be viewed by all.

253
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,600
Speaker 1: You know, back in the day, you know we had

254
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: we had Ebony and Jet and that just being your

255
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: room coffee to that had to be there. That was

256
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: the magazine everyone ever that established your who you were

257
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: as a black did you Beauty of the Week? The

258
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: Top ten, the top ten cut down of all the

259
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: music in the industry, to move the TV shows, all

260
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: those little soft stories. You're just saying, hey, Rashan, that

261
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: storytelling has to be current because we lose who we

262
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: are the stories we're trying to tell that we'll lose

263
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: who we are as a people in the past president

264
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: and we cannot have a proper vision for the future.

265
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: And also you're currently the physicians that SEEO or met

266
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: stop console group. What exactly is that? Okay, so that's

267
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: my private medical practice, which I have really busy medical practice,

268
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: and included in that practice is a veteran service. Uh

269
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: A lot, a large portion of my medical practice is

270
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: geared towards helping veterans get their medical benefits that they

271
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: deserve or that they are qualified to get. But a

272
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: lot of them have been denied. So they come to me.

273
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: I go through all of their medical records and I

274
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: form a medical opinion that they take to the v A.

275
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 1: I have argued for them all the way up to

276
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: the Board of Veteran Appeals, and we have one because

277
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: a lot of veterans don't know what they can claim,

278
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: but when they are, when they claim it, if they

279
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: got injured doing the service, and when they claim it,

280
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: they get denied. And so I helped them to reverse

281
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: that denial. I helped them to get their claims. I've

282
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: been doing it for the past ten years. And then

283
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: this is really kind of weird. Somebody went service of

284
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: the country right back over here. Can you get an

285
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: example right giving the name or we know the example

286
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: who you're talking about. Give us a couple of examples.

287
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: What because right now I'm confused, you know as to

288
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: why you should be denying somebody acclaimed when the injury

289
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: was caused under doing the service of the country. Okay,

290
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: So what happens is the veterans while he's in the military,

291
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: if if he if he doesn't go to sit call,

292
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: then there's no documentation of his illness. And from what

293
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 1: the veterans tell me, they're told while they're in the military,

294
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: if you go to sit call, your Nami Pammy, suck

295
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: it up. You know that here they're discoverage discourage from

296
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: going to sick call. So when they come out and say, oh,

297
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 1: I have a shoulder injury, then the then the v

298
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: able say, well, where's your documentation to catch wol So

299
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: what happens when I go through the medical records, I

300
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 1: can pick up terminology that the veterans, you know, he's

301
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: not capable of picking up that terminology. Or I can

302
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: go back and say no, these were symptoms of this condition,

303
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: or yes he had this even if I find one sentence,

304
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: so he can be denied because when he comes out,

305
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 1: they'll say, well, it didn't happen in the military, or

306
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 1: you had it before you went into the military, or

307
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: it was not exacerbated by the military. Those are the

308
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: three types of claim and that's my job. I tell

309
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: a veteran, don't worry. It's my job to prove it.

310
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: And we have I don't even advertise. It's all word

311
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: of mouth to the veterans, and we have like a

312
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: ninety i'd say success rate. Congratulations the veterans out here,

313
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 1: because I'm kind of confused to you, Okay, cool, uh.

314
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: I thought there was a medical plan. My my younger brother,

315
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: he served in the army, and if you had, aren't

316
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 1: aren't all farmer military men covered by a medical plan?

317
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: We'll say medical and and and benefit medical, right and

318
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: claims two different services. I get veterans that saying, well,

319
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: I was in the military and I'm being treated in

320
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:01,239
Speaker 1: the military. Okay, they separate medical and claim claims. Is

321
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,880
Speaker 1: you're going to get a monthly check for your claims.

322
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: Right medical, You're going to get medical treatment. Okay, So okay,

323
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: I see what you're saying. So you're saying that you're

324
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: going over behalf of someone who has an injury that

325
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: should get it, should file a claim, and not so

326
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: much about treatment. It's about a claim. It's about a claim, right,

327
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: and getting a monthly check for injuries sustained during the military,

328
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: and some of those injuries don't show up until years later.

329
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 1: For instance, off the Vietnam veterans, now they know that

330
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: the Vietnam in Vietnam, the spray cause diabetes, prostate cancer,

331
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: heart conditions, and it might not show up until years later.

332
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: So it's my job to know this, to know all

333
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: the rules, to know all the regulations, to know how

334
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: you can win your claim. So just clear up from

335
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: our listeners, this is not about medical care. This is

336
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: about claims and being a flame. You said spray. Can

337
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 1: you explain to us acted what you mean when you

338
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: say the word sprayed. During the Vietnam War. Okay, during

339
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: the Vietnam War, they had agent orange right about that.

340
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: It was called agent orange, right, and it was a

341
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: type of spray, a type of chemical that they sprayed

342
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: on the foliage in Vietnam to kill the foliage. So

343
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: it's like like we killer almost right. So what happens

344
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: is the veterans had to spray this obviously, and a

345
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: lot of them were exposed and the conditions didn't show

346
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: up until years later. So now if you're a veteran,

347
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: you have if you're in Vietnam, you have diabetes, you

348
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: have uh prostate cancer, you have a heart condition, you

349
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: have certain cancers. You can put in a claim. Now

350
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: that's that's something because you know, I read a lot

351
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: and I read about agent which I read about you know,

352
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: it's just being dropped down and on top of soldiers

353
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 1: in certain areas to kill the vegetation. And like I said,

354
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: just like it's like walking, because you know, it's like

355
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: me walking around y'all and using weed killer to kill

356
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: you know, the region, my rocks. So that imagined that

357
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: being dropped down on you, right, and a lot of

358
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,879
Speaker 1: the military duty, and they didn't get sick on the spot,

359
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: but years later, and each area of war, each time

360
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: of war have different conditions. So the afghanstand war, the

361
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: Iraq war, you have different illnesses, yes, you did coming

362
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: from those wars. And then the main thing and another

363
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: the Gulf war, Right, that's when you had then the

364
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:38,159
Speaker 1: burning of the right of the factors, right, and you

365
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 1: was you was inhaling that along the way. I know

366
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: my brother he was serving over there at the time,

367
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: and I was worried about that because you know, let's

368
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: put it this way, you inhale something, it comes into

369
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: your body, it comes into your lung to, comes to

370
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: your bloodstream, and that's not going to be a good thing.

371
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: And so if you continue to live like that, just

372
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: like the whole situation with coal miners and things like that.

373
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 1: You know, now living under there inhaling up, you might

374
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: not see your enemy, but your enemies into entering your

375
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 1: body and doing damage. And that's really what you about.

376
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: When you're trying to protect these protect these of veterans

377
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: with information and get around the bureaucratic nonsense. It's sensible,

378
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: tends to block the opportunity to file claim. How do

379
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: you feel when you do? That has to be really

380
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,879
Speaker 1: a good feeling for you. Dr King. It is because

381
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: I really respect and honor our veterans, and so many

382
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: of them don't have the information, and sometimes I feel

383
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: we may be more impacted than others, if you know

384
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: what I mean. Don't have the information, don't know how

385
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: to fight the bureaucrat. That's my job though medically that's

386
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: my job. I know. I know the disease, I know

387
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: how it's connected to the military, and not only that

388
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,919
Speaker 1: you had contaminated water in Camp Lejune. There are a

389
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: lot of military and military factors that go into your

390
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: current illness, and a lot of veterans just don't know

391
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: how to get their claims or they were denied. I

392
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: want to move to something that's very important. That's online

393
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 1: prescription UM. You the CEO of get your Refield dot com,

394
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:12,479
Speaker 1: tell us like the idea and tell us how it works.

395
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: All right, So before I say that, I just want

396
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 1: to make it clear my baseline is as a medical doctor,

397
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: and I have all of these projects because I just

398
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: I just have all this energy. Okay, so get your

399
00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: free I kind of figured that Dr Kane. I gave

400
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: out all these credits to let people know who you

401
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: are talking to. Okay, Okay. So what happened was when

402
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: the COVID nineteen in this pandemic started, I started getting

403
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: calls from some of my family, maybe my family, my friends,

404
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: and I started getting calls from former patients and even

405
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: a couple of vettermans. They're saying, Dr Kane, we can't

406
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: get our prescriptions fills. And I said, why not, We're

407
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: on these medications we can't get Even the doctor's office

408
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: had closed. Um. Even they couldn't afford right now to

409
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: get and go to another to have another doctor's visit

410
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 1: or to tell a medicine The appointment was like two

411
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 1: or three weeks down the line. And these people had

412
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: been on some of them have been on their medications

413
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: for years, and they needed to get a refill because

414
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: you have to have a refill in order for the pharmacy,

415
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: you know, to give you your medications. Some people had

416
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: doing the pandemic, their health insurance was discontinued. You also

417
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: have people, and I've worked with these people over the years,

418
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: this is not new to the pandemic. They are released

419
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: from detention centers, their release from prison, they're given one

420
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 1: month supply of medication and then it's up to them

421
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: to figure out how to get their medications from that

422
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: point on. So you have a lot of people who

423
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: in March just say we're released from prison. They have

424
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 1: a thirty day supplied. They have no way of getting

425
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: another prescription because they're not even in the health care

426
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: system pre pandemic. And so you have people with diabetes,

427
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 1: high blood pressure, heart conditions asthma, cop D, even some

428
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: people with cancer that need to take their medications and

429
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: they can't get a refilled. So once I started getting

430
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: these calls, I said, hmmm, that might there might be

431
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: a need for this. So I created a website, get

432
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 1: your Refill dot Com and it's temporary, is on an

433
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: emergency basis. I did it just for the pandemic because

434
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 1: I have a lot of other projects that I'm doing

435
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: and to help people out. So they can go to

436
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: the website, they have to currently have been on the medication.

437
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: I'm not going to prescribe new medications for them, and

438
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: I don't prescribe for them narcotics. I do not do that,

439
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: all right, So if they are on diabetes, high blood pressure,

440
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: they can upload a copy of their Just take a

441
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: picture of your prescription off the bottle uploaded, and I'll

442
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: write you a new prescription for a thirty days supply

443
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 1: on an emergency basis for sixty days supply excuse me,

444
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: and I will send it we email it to the

445
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: pharmacy of your choice anywhere in the United States. Now, whine,

446
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,479
Speaker 1: hasn't this been done before? I don't know what you know?

447
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 1: You know, you because because it's a need. If I'm

448
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: just telling you sometimes, you know, because I'm on different pills,

449
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: because I'm a cancer survivor, and you know, so I

450
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: had to go through the challenges of sometimes contacting my

451
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: doctor and things like that. And so when I so,

452
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: I know exactly what you're talking about, I know exactly

453
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: what they're concerned about. I walked up to a counter

454
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: and we go, okay, you we can't give you the

455
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: most subscriptions. You have to talk to your doctor. And

456
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: you contact the doctor and he hadn't responded back to him,

457
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: and so you're like, Okay, look at I need my pills,

458
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: I need my medicine and so so so, so basically

459
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: go through it one more time. What one has to

460
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,960

Speaker 1: black teams, as young teams who basically are coming of

567
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: age story because we watched you grow up on TV.

568
00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: I cared you guys from high school to your college

569
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: years when I was in the show, you know, which

570
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,440
Speaker 1: was funny, you know, trying to look at ritur. Get

571
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: some riture starts here, and uh, if y'all wanted y'all

572
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: realized y'all your role in life and things like that,

573
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: and and and but it was really growing up in

574
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: that bottle. It was a bottle because a fish bowlers

575
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: some people saying, and being able to step out there

576
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 1: and grow uh as a as a child star and

577
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: then becoming an adult star. Talk about that during a

578
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 1: little bit before we get into the actual a lot

579
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: of different story points. I want to talk about you

580
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: all the successes to have right now. You know, I

581
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: really feel grateful and the leased to have had the

582
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 1: parents that will have the parents that I have, UM

583
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: during that time because as we all know, when you're

584
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: a child in this industry, it could be really, really harsh.

585
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: And and the reason why I say that is because

586
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: a lot of the time you don't see these you know,

587
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: young child actors make that transition. UM. You know, some

588
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: of them end up. I mean a lot of them

589
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: ended up. You know, there were suicide, um, drug addiction.

590
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: But my mom and my dad they really really protect

591
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: us from that. And I think, if I can make

592
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: this long story short, what really helped was my mom

593
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: used to always tell us, do not let this business

594
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: define who you are as a person. And it was

595
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,439
Speaker 1: so beneficial to me because she made me realize that,

596
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, Hollywood is very sickle, meaning one minute you

597
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 1: could be hot and then the next minute you could

598
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: be not hot. So if you really hold on to

599
00:34:55,920 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: defining yourself, um, you know, with you know, having this

600
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: you know, success story at such a young age, and

601
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: then when it falls for a minute, you know, you

602
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: could find yourself into deep depression. You can find stuff

603
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: going to substance abuse and you know, suicidal thoughts. Um.

604
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that it was easy. It was very

605
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 1: hard because, like I said, it happens to almost every

606
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 1: child actor. One minute you're on a show and making

607
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: lots of money, and then the next minute you're not

608
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,479
Speaker 1: and nobody cares about you. So my mom she really

609
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 1: prepared us mentally to allow us to see that, you know,

610
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: you don't need to define yourself, and that you know,

611
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: define yourself in your character, to find yourself in your integrity,

612
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 1: to find yourself in being a good, kind hearted person

613
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,440
Speaker 1: and continue to work hard and go after your dreams

614
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: and never give up. And that's what really, you know,

615
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: that's what really helped me or guided me, you know,

616
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: into being you know, an older you know actor. Absolutely,

617
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: and I agree because you know, I know her mom.

618
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,439
Speaker 1: She was on set all the time. I've know sets

619
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: with other children child child stars, and sometimes the parents

620
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: will show up, sometimes they wouldn't show up, And that

621
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: effected these kids that I see because I've been I've

622
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: been fortunate to watch a lot of I've been on

623
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: a lot of family shows. So I've watched children grow

624
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,800
Speaker 1: up into adults and disappear, or we have very angry

625
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,560
Speaker 1: lives or what happened to my life get pigeoned, and

626
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,680
Speaker 1: she was always there. We always had great conversations and mean,

627
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: while I was wearing my stylish suits, you know, I

628
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 1: had my suits, I'm talking to mama. Just let y'all

629
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:33,880
Speaker 1: know this is this is what I really liked about

630
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 1: by what I'm seeing about your career. You know, is

631
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: that the YouTube channel? You know you got the you

632
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: know you got everybody got social media. Everybody got social media. Okay,

633
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: you know you're popping. You're supposed to have social media. Okay,

634
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: you know you've got following news and all that stuff. TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,

635
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: but the YouTube channels where you can really when people

636
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: start following you and subscribing to YouTube channel thousands, Yeah,

637
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: it's crazy, it's crazy, you know. Like you said, a

638
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: lot of people have YouTube channels. But for me, where

639
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: I always find success is when I am just true

640
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,799
Speaker 1: to who I am. I never let anyone tell me

641
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: what's you know, hot, what's not. I always go with

642
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: my gut, meaning whatever I'm going through personally in my life,

643
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: that is what I want to portray because with that

644
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 1: comes authenticity. So behind the inspiration with my YouTube channel

645
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: came me just wanting to create a community where moms

646
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: and just women or just anybody in general could come

647
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,959
Speaker 1: together and learn, you know, these life hacks that could

648
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 1: get them through life, because especially when you're a mom,

649
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: a working mom, or just when you're juggling so many things,

650
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: and you know, family is very important to me and

651
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 1: I don't I don't ever want um. I don't ever

652
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: want to lose that. And so I know that when

653
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 1: you have a busy lifestyle, sometimes that's sacrificed, meaning spending

654
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: quality time with your family. So I just wanted to

655
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: build a community where you know, people can go to

656
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 1: my channel to be inspired and uplifted because I have

657
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: inspirational talks on their um, I you know, show my

658
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: personal life meaning my my daughter's birthday, um, you know,

659
00:38:40,920 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: just to give them joy in their lives. And then

660
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: also cooking. You know, I love, I love, love, love

661
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: to cook, and for me, cooking is about bringing the

662
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 1: family together and creating memories because that's what would happen

663
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: with my family. And so I would find that a

664
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 1: lot of people just didn't know how to do it

665
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: and they were so overwhelmed and they felt like they

666
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 1: had to be professional chefs to get you know, food

667
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 1: on the table. So I said, you know what, let

668
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: me just come out with the YouTube channel called Tamor's

669
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 1: Quick Fix. And again this was all me like hounding,

670
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,840
Speaker 1: like I'm the person where the reason why I have

671
00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: the career that I have to is because I don't

672
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: give up number one and I hound I tell people

673
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,920
Speaker 1: what I want. I don't wait for people to you know,

674
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: do something for me. I learned that at a young age,

675
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: you know that if I want something, I have to

676
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:32,080
Speaker 1: go out and get it. So I you know, created

677
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: the YouTube just for that so people could you know,

678
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: be inspired and uplifted and just have this safe community

679
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: that they can you know, talk to and share stories

680
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: and learn. That's powerful, and it's powerful. A lot of

681
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: people understand that when I when I would like, I said,

682
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: I interview people a lot, at least you know, five

683
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: people every week. And as entrepreneurship is entertainment, and and

684
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: I look at you know, here's the deal. She was

685
00:39:56,600 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: born with a twin. Okay, and so yes versus was

686
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: passionate about acting. You know, your new deal. When you

687
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 1: hit that set, what's the script? Script? And I knew

688
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: because we should talk, we should talk. You know, we've

689
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 1: got out to dinner. Sometimes it took you to the

690
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: Shark Ball, y'all, to the Shark Ball, which I didn't

691
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: take that to the Sharkbull finish and and so, but

692
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: you were still defining who you were. You know, you

693
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,720
Speaker 1: had the talent to do. You was on a successful show.

694
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: But I could always tell that really wasn't your passion

695
00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: because you had to find something else. And now acting

696
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 1: there's part of your passion. But when when you have

697
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: all these talents, that's when I look at this YouTube challenge,

698
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 1: I smiled the most till on the YouTube channel because

699
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 1: I know that's you that's you, that's your lane, that's

700
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: your passion that's come here. This is not the script,

701
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 1: This is not a sitcom, this is not the reality show.

702
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 1: This is me and seven hundred and twenty six thousand

703
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: and counting. Have it we love? Yes? Yes, yes, you know,

704
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: we also have a Facebook channel and on the so

705
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: all together with the Timori Quit Fixed Hub or community,

706
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:15,319
Speaker 1: we have about two point four million followers, so we

707
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 1: have one point for yes, we have one point four

708
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 1: million followers on Facebook and we haven't We're we haven't

709
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 1: even hit three years yet. This is just like two

710
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 1: two and a half year. We have one point four

711
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: million followers on Facebook and then we're at like four

712
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty something thousand on Instagram. But you're absolutely right.

713
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,800
Speaker 1: And you know, um, I was looking at Will Smith's

714
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: you know, YouTube channel, and he was I was reading

715
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: something about him and he was saying that and I

716
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: resonated because he was saying that he really really loved

717
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: doing his YouTube channel. Because again, there's no script, nobody's

718
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: telling you what to do. I get to take controls

719
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: of what I want, what my content is, and I

720
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: know my audience more than anybody anybody, and I'm giving

721
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: the power to be able to, you know, create what

722
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: I believe my fans will like and also create what

723
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: I like to do. So that's what you're saying. You're

724
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 1: seeing that authenticity, You're seeing that enthusiasm, you're seeing mia

725
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,399
Speaker 1: you know, and it's great to be able to tap

726
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: into that. And that's what that's why I wanted to

727
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: start with that. Just let you know that. Uh, I

728
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: love watching it. I love watching your smile. I love

729
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: the difference in theo. You know, you're cooking, you're baking,

730
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: you you have your your birthday point you you know.

731
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: That's It's like if you was on the network. You

732
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: can't do that. Stick to the show. You can't bake

733
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: one episode and and tire and motivate the next episode.

734
00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: You can't do that. Not only that, No, and let

735
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: me tell you something bill with you Okay, So you

736
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: know I had a cooking show. I had a cooking

737
00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: show cooking channel with Yeah with um called Tiamore at

738
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: Home and it was on the sister network of Food Network.

739
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: And what was so it lasted for three years. But

740
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,399
Speaker 1: what was so interesting was and what I've learned as

741
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: a businesswoman is when you're on somebody else's show, you're

742
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,359
Speaker 1: having to have to tap into their brand. So I

743
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:19,319
Speaker 1: had to tap into the Food Network brand, which was

744
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: and is predominantly Middle America, which is fine and which

745
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: is okay, But like I said, I really know where

746
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 1: my my audiences. I know how old they are, I

747
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: know they're demographic. And so it becomes a little stifling

748
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: when you have to put yourself in some sort of

749
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, box, because I would want to do certain

750
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: recipes and they're like, sorry, we can't do that recipe

751
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: because it doesn't cater to such and such and such,

752
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: and I'm like, but but see, that's what's so beautiful

753
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: about having your own YouTube channel. You're able to feel

754
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: you come false, false, but you know it's so beautiful

755
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: that you know, you know, all I do is marketing.

756
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,720
Speaker 1: I do marketing and branding and look at individual talents

757
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 1: and I just see that. You know that that's that's

758
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: a mature decision, because that's what I leave about watching

759
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: you grow because I think two weeks ago use that

760
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: seven two thousand subscribers and listening to much. I'm just

761
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,240
Speaker 1: telling you that's crazy. That I mean, that is loved.

762
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 1: That is like people sharing that means when you because

763
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,640
Speaker 1: you know YouTube works like this, what happens is it

764
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:43,160
Speaker 1: since our notifications every time you upload a video. That's

765
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: how YouTube works, and so then people will share these

766
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: videos and they be inspired. And so I just I

767
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: just know that when I when I see you taking

768
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,760
Speaker 1: control of your brand and being able to have something

769
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: to say about your brand, that's powerful. Dude, I stop,

770
00:44:57,960 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: and I don't want you to stop on television, but

771
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: it's always nice to be somewhere said you know something.

772
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: I feel like baking the day and I feel like that,

773
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: go out there and stand up for your rights. I

774
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,960
Speaker 1: feel like talking to entrepreneurs today. I feel like you

775
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: know something. I feel like going shopping and putting go

776
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: pearl on my head and go shopping. Okay, yes, yes,

777
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: but you know what they all stover Sean. It comes

778
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 1: from excuse me. For me, it comes from inspiration because

779
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 1: I know that there are a lot of people out

780
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 1: there that our moms and that are juggling um that

781
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: want to know how to cook or want to know

782
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 1: how to how do you get around the grocery store.

783
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: So for me, it's about showing how I do it

784
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: so I can inspire somebody else. To do it, you

785
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,319
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So yeah, like you said, it

786
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,319
Speaker 1: kind of becomes that chain effect, and then when people

787
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: are inspired, they're like, okay, well let me follow this girl,

788
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: you know, because I can learn something from her, and

789
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: then you know, you know something, it becomes more than

790
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 1: just being a fan. It's not a fan anymore. You know,

791
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 1: you're you are expert, you are a person that you

792
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying it Really it becomes that you

793
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: become you becomes an influence, and influence is a very

794
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: powerful term, and it's not being a follower. That means

795
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 1: people value your your thoughts, value the direction, value your opinion,

796
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 1: and that's all we have a want out of life.

797
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 1: Because as an actor, you know, I'm just going to

798
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: be truthful about this because sometimes you know, if you're

799
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: out there just and you want an oscar people, were

800
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: you a great actor? You know, she's really funny comedian,

801
00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: he's a great singer. When did YouTube channel? Here at

802
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 1: YouTube channel, it's a different message. Okay, value, you're right,

803
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: You're absolutely right, you're right. And you know, if we

804
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:51,800
Speaker 1: were to get really technical, technical girl, it's actually harder

805
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: to build a YouTube audience because of that. You know

806
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, it's harder for people to follow UM,

807
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: to get that follower from a YouTuber UM as opposed

808
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: to you know, on Facebook or on Instagram. So you know,

809
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: I'm very very happy and very pleased with you know

885
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,520
Speaker 1: that really caught my eye. I am such a huge fame.

886
00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: We're talking about your cookbook, whole new you Okay, roasted

887
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,799
Speaker 1: beat salad. Girl, you know how what a nut I

00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 1: am for beats. I really god, I love going to

889
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: the restaurant, but every restaurant can't do beats, you know,

890
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: they make them into these big old chunks, and I go,

891
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: really really really yeah, okay, you you have to like hart, Yes, okay,

892
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: you have to try the the roasted rainbow carrets rusty.

893
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 1: I make that several times, and that's so good too.

894
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 1: The thing about me and whenever I cook, and if

895
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: you follow you know QUI six or if you um,

896
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: you know, look through my book. And then the main

897
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:05,239
Speaker 1: thing about this cookbook is, you know, I wrote it

898
00:52:05,239 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: and I was inspired because I was dealing with something

899
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,279
Speaker 1: called endometriosis. And I absolutely love food. But when you

900
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: have a highly inflammatory condition like endometriosis, you have to

901
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: stay away from certain foods that exacerbate the inflammation in

902
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 1: your body. But for me, I love food. So my

903
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: point is is that even though it's healthy, it has

904
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: to be very tasteful. It has to have flavor. So

905
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: that's one thing about you know, these recipes that you

906
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: will see that it's you know, instead of using regular milk,

907
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: it'll use you know, non dairy alternatives. Um, but you

908
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 1: will not be sacrificing on that labor. So my point

909
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 1: is that the beat the caesar salad and the carrots,

910
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,880
Speaker 1: even though those are like more on the healthier side,

911
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: they're so finger looking good because you know, there's a

912
00:52:53,320 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 1: lot of flavor in there. But I throw that in there.

913
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,080
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just going through word. This is a

914
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:03,319
Speaker 1: quick it's tears, quick fix. This is rushan quick look

915
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:06,239
Speaker 1: in the in the cookbook, okay, okay. And the and

916
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: to close it out, you really you really shut me

917
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: down with the classic hammas. Oh my god, oh yes,

918
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: oh yes, oh yes, I love hamas. I love hummus

919
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 1: saiki too. Oh my god, you put them to in

920
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 1: front of me. Girl. I'm on, I don't know if

921
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,759
Speaker 1: I'm on a diet, but I'm eating like I'm on

922
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: a diet. No. Yeah, And you know, hommas you can,

923
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: you know, you can do it so many you know,

924
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: different things. Um and and you know what I like

925
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: to do is I just like to create some sort

926
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 1: of like a snack, you know what I mean. I'll

927
00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: do the hummas and then I'll chop up some cucumbers

928
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 1: with some carrots and then I'll put you know, whatever,

929
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 1: all of the choice that you like, and then you

930
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 1: even can throw some crassers in there. And that's what

931
00:53:51,440 --> 00:53:53,040
Speaker 1: you can put humus on. Or sometimes what a lot

932
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: of people do is they used to peter bread. But

933
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:59,800
Speaker 1: that right there is a very healthy, feeling delicious meal

934
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: or snack. But not only that. You realize when you

935
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 1: buy hummus from the grocery store, those things, especially when

936
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: it's organic, could be like around five dollars. When you

937
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: make the homics to yourself, you can, you know, add

938
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:17,240
Speaker 1: more salt, more garlic or whatever you want and it's cheaper.

939
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 1: So I have a big old bowl, I put some

940
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: I put it a cap on it, I put it,

941
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: slide it in the center, share for the refrigerant, and

942
00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 1: just be eating. I just telling the truth. Now, See

943
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,359
Speaker 1: when you make your own harmless it's never a small

944
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:37,160
Speaker 1: portion you make homies, yes you do. You get your

Speaker 1: talking about that. We're talking about their Family Union, which

977
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,160
Speaker 1: is on Netflix. When I see names like Richard Rowntree,

978
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 1: I see names like Loretta Divine, I see names like Hapkins.

979
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:40,759
Speaker 1: To be on the show with that much working history, yeah,

Speaker 1: single day, like I love going to work. And Loretta Divine.

982
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 1: I always say this is so cliche, but she is

983
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 1: so divine. She's taught me what's so amazing about her

984
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 1: as an actress is it's not only as an actress,

985
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,280
Speaker 1: just as a woman, a black woman being in this business.

986
00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: She's taught me how to She's gentle, you know what

987
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean. Like, Laretta Divine is so o divine. But

988
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: when she sees something that she doesn't agree with, when

989
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:16,640
Speaker 1: she's feeling something that she will stand up and I

990
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: just love to witness that. And I tell her that

991
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: all the time, because you know she has to yourself.

992
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: But I said, aport to it when she like really

993
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,280
Speaker 1: like stands up for what she believes in. And you know,

994
00:57:30,280 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: I've been in this business for such a long time,

995
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be very honest with you from an

996
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: actor standpoint, I never had that strength saying I don't

997
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if this is working for me or

998
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 1: I feel like like she's you know, and of course

999
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:51,880
Speaker 1: she's earned it because she's a legend um. But it's

1000
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: so beautiful to see her just command of seeing command

1001
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:58,920
Speaker 1: of the stage, just you know, be in her presence.

1002
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:03,040
Speaker 1: And then Richard Richard, when I say, this is the

1003
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: coolest man that he this man and I'm not kidding

1004
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: he he has a cigar and he walks around with

1005
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 1: a cigar. And what I love about him is, you know,

1006
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,200
Speaker 1: we share trailer, so um, I'm on one side, he's

1007
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,360
Speaker 1: on the other side. And so whenever I come outside,

1008
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: I see him just sitting in his chair, just smoking

1009
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: his cigar and just laid back and chill and as

1010
00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,919
Speaker 1: ever he is just And again this thing that I love,

1011
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:35,160
Speaker 1: what I've learned about Richard as an actor is just

1012
00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: if he just has one line. You could tell that

1013
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: there's a huge story about that one line that he's

1014
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: given himself. And and I'll give you an example that

1015
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 1: And I haven't even told him this, but maybe I should.

1016
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: He was explaining tie, you know, and just the way

1017
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,960
Speaker 1: that he used his body and his body what I

1018
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: mean by body is this as an actor, like his

1019
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 1: body language, you could tell that he was tasting this

1020
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:06,320
Speaker 1: pie and he had history with this pie. When he

1021
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: just mentioned I, you know, I'm like I picked that

1022
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: up as an actor, I was like, wow. Like, of course,

1023
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 1: with the with the script, you always have a backstory

1024
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: and you always know what's going on within the script.

1025
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 1: But he goes even deeper and you can tell that

1026
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: there's experience in history with whatever is coming out of

1027
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,280
Speaker 1: his mouth. And I think that's what makes it so grounding,

1028
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: and that's what makes him just such an incredible actor.

1029
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 1: But as a person, he's he's really chaft, you know,

1030
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 1: you know, I you know, you know, we we talking

1031
00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: your I I want these folks to think I'm talking

1032
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: in town, up your time. But till you know, you know,

1033
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: as I said, you know, we can talk about the

1034
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: vitamin company. We'll talked about that next time, and I

1035
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 1: want to get that out. Let me just get the

1036
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: vitamin out. So anyway, so I have a supplement line

1037
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: called Answer, right, I can do this very quickly. So again,

1038
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: everything that I do is because I want to inspire

1039
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 1: and I inspired. What what inspired me and motivated me

1040
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: to come out with this line. Number one was my

1041
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: personal health history with indometrios is. I already touched on

1042
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: that UM, but you know how I was able to

1043
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,680
Speaker 1: make the symptoms just become suppressed and just you know,

1044
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 1: developed this wellness was I changed my diet, I started

1045
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: to take supplements, I started to meditate, I started to exercise,

1046
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: and I saw a huge shift in my wellness in

1047
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: my health. While I was on this journey, I didn't

1048
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: see representation. I did not see women of color, I

1049
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 1: did not see diversity at all. So I wanted to

1050
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 1: change that. I was like not on my watch. So

1051
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,760
Speaker 1: I decided to come out with a supplement line called

1052
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: Answer to encourage UM and to inspire women to take

1053
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 1: back and charge of their health. It's called Answer, insinuating

1054
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: you are the answer. After my surgeries with indometriosis, my

1055
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: doctor was like, Yotia, there's nothing I can do. You

1056
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: kind of have to start looking at your lifestyle. And

1057
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I did, and I want to encourage other,

1058
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: you know, women and people do the same. We have

1059
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,280
Speaker 1: a women's multi we have an elder Berry which helps

1060
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:12,960
Speaker 1: with immunity. We have a kid's gummy which happens to

1061
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: be my children's favorite. We have a men's line, we

1062
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 1: have a beauty supplement or beauty formula, and we're going

1063
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 1: to be coming out with several other amazing um supplements

1064
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 1: in July and August. But you know, you know, the

1065
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:32,800

1142
01:05:45,240 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, Gene, I love. I have success.

1143
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 1: So I love female characters first of all, and strong

1144
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 1: mentally and physical characters just just I just love and

1145
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 1: I have to give you an eight plus something. Tell

1146
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 1: us about the development of the female characters, because this

1147
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 1: is this movie is really physical and its action driven.

1148
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: It was something I so loved about this story, um

1149
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, originally created by Greg Rucca, the fact that

1150
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,760
Speaker 1: these two women and the Nile are warriors, and it

1151
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,919
Speaker 1: just is there's such a normalcy to that. And for me,

1152
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: growing up an athlete, that's how I was raised, and

1153
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:22,520
Speaker 1: that's you know all I knew. All the women around

1154
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:25,640
Speaker 1: me were like that. And I find it really sad

1155
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:27,720
Speaker 1: that so many women don't get to grow up with

1156
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 1: that mentality, grow up with the permission to tap into

1157
01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: who we are. We do have that warrior in us.

1158
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: Um So the more that we can see it up

1159
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 1: on screen. Um, I think then you can see it

1160
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: for yourself and start to embody that. So I love

1161
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: Andy and Nil. I love what they have to say,

1162
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 1: and they have both have different personalities. So, Kiki, you

1163
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: played the role, now you know, and uh, it's five

1164
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: ft nine physical, you know, so you know you really

1165
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 1: were physical in this role. Tell us about you know,

1166
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 1: being invited first of all, screaming that you got the

1167
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: job and you're realizing the work you have to put

1168
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 1: into a physic to keep your job fighting. Look, no,

1169
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 1: it was I mean I knew, I knew somewhat what

1170
01:07:09,840 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 1: I was getting do. Uh in terms of you know,

1171
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 1: speaking to to Gina, she she made it clear at

1172
01:07:15,160 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: our director session, you know what she was going to

1173
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: to require of me, and I told her to bring it, um,

1174
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 1: and that's what I had to do. So it definitely

1175
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 1: like there's some things you're not gonna quite understand until

1176
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: you actually in it. I'm like, oh, we're training training,

1177
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: I have been doing all like the weapons and flipping

1178
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: people and the guns and being in the gym all

1179
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: the time. How along was that training period? How long

1180
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:43,760
Speaker 1: was that training period? Like three or four months? Wow? Nothing.

1181
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 1: You gotta check, you gotta check to doing right. But

1182
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 1: I mean I did feel great. I mean that's the

1183
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 1: cool thing about doing this type of training, Like you

1184
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,600
Speaker 1: are training your body, you are learning these skills. And

1185
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 1: I knew that I was doing what I needed to

1186
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 1: do to best, you know, to honor this character and

1187
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: to honor this story. Um yeah, I mean it's very different,

1188
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: and but I mean I do it again. Well, thank you,

1189
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: because you're does a fantastic job, you know. You know.

1190
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: The next confuses me because the movie like this, this

1191
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: is a big budget movie. Okay, I in my mind,

1192
01:08:18,400 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be in the movie theater and watching

1193
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 1: this movie. You know, thankfully I got a movie theater room.

1194
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm a little baller here. But I just know that

1195
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 1: the whole game has changed how you watch big budget

1196
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: movies now. And you would approach to do this movie,

1197
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:34,720
Speaker 1: what was the whole thought process and sky Dance you

1198
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 1: know that's mission impossible and start tracking? Wow, yeah, that

1199
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: was about that whole journey. Yeah. When when I first

1200
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 1: came aboard with sky Dance, we were going to be

1201
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:48,680
Speaker 1: at a studio. This was going to be theatrical. Um,

1202
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:53,320
Speaker 1: but what's so interesting about the industry. You know, there's

1203
01:08:53,360 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: a fear of female fronted action joints. They're not going

1204
01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 1: to do well. Whereas Netflix was active, really looking for

1205
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 1: a female friended action joint and offered us hell a lot.

1206
01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: And you know, there was still that thing because I'm

1207
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: so used to the theatrical. I love the bigness. I

1208
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:16,560
Speaker 1: love sitting in a theater, being just enveloped in that collective,

1209
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: collective experience. But the other argument was, we make movies

1210
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: for an audience, and you're going to be dropping in

1211
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 1: a hundred ninety countries. That's like crazy the amount of audience.

1212
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: So the beauty about this film is that we actually

1213
01:09:31,280 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: get both. We get theatrical and we get UM the

1214
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 1: global release. So when COVID you know, goes away, finally,

1215
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:44,080
Speaker 1: when all of us get it together and where masks UM,

1216
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 1: it will have some theatrical, so no audience can get both.

1217
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's really interesting kicking in your character because

1218
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 1: or you're the new warrior, you know, and Andy is

1219
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:56,680
Speaker 1: the old guard forever, live, forever. It is traumatized. I really,

1220
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,640
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed the whole journey because you know, you

1221
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 1: still believed in God, you know, and your character, you

1222
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: still believe you didn't understand more the immortality part of

1223
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 1: the game and you have to make a transition. In

1224
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: the movie talk about that whole journey and also given

1225
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 1: us a credible moment where you understood you had to

1226
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:18,479
Speaker 1: change or except who you are. Um. I mean I

1227
01:10:18,760 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 1: I kind of just leaned into like that's again one

1228
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: of the special things about these characters, and like, yes,

1229
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 1: they have this incredible ability, but they're still dealing with

1230
01:10:28,400 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: things that we recognize, you know, on a very human level.

1231
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 1: So for me, I was connecting more to thinking of,

1232
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, those moments where life just hits you and

1233
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 1: just turns your whole life upside down and you have

1234
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: to figure out, you know, how to move forward, um

1235
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: and kind of leaning into you know, seeing someone who

1236
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 1: who is struggling with that. UM. So I was able

1237
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: to you know, it gave it. I don't know that

1238
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: the ground in this because it was coming from a

1239
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 1: real place. I think we all can think of some

1240
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 1: moments where it's just really life, that's what you're gonna do,

1241
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 1: and then those moments of struggling against it and then

1242
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:10,679
Speaker 1: finally getting to that place of acceptance of like oh okay,

1243
01:11:10,680 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 1: so this is this is what my new life is. Wow, Gina,

1244
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: we're about to wrap up here. You have you have tough.

1245
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:19,719
Speaker 1: When I started to BIO, I start fight coordinators from

1246
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 1: John Wick, which I love that series, so I know

1247
01:11:22,680 --> 01:11:24,640
Speaker 1: the hand to hand was going to be real. And

1248
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,639
Speaker 1: then start coordinators from the End Game, which I loved

1249
01:11:27,720 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 1: the way they moved in and black Panthers and all that.

1250
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 1: The whole process of bringing that amount of talent together

1251
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 1: from a start coordinating background and a fight coordinator the

1252
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 1: background with the town of the castle here wrapping us

1253
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 1: up and just tell us the final experience of all this. Yeah,

1254
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,880
Speaker 1: I mean I'm one of the best and when I

1255
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: got it, got it. Yeah. And the dope thing about

1256
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:53,720
Speaker 1: those guys, they're so cool, They're so collaborative. They just

1257
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:56,680
Speaker 1: bring out the best and everybody. And you know what

1258
01:11:56,800 --> 01:11:59,360
Speaker 1: was so great, It's just the conversations we had even

1259
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 1: before we started designing fights about telling the story of

1260
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: each fight, knowing that they had to be character driven

1261
01:12:05,080 --> 01:12:08,799
Speaker 1: and emotional, um so that they meant something. And uh,

1262
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,080
Speaker 1: I just honestly, every day I kept thinking, what if

1263
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 1: I did not have these guys, What if I did

1264
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 1: not have the best what this film might have been. Um,

1265
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 1: they are, They're everything, and I'm grateful to them. Wow,

1266

01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:06,519
Speaker 1: hiding out at my friend? Right now, I'm in Oregon.

1315
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm actually getting ready to head to the Bubble in

1316
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 1: Orlando on Thursday. So I'm packing up and kind of

1317
01:15:12,120 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 1: getting my life in order. Now, what exactly when you

1318
01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 1: say the bubble? You know I'm a guy, why read?

1319
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:18,720
Speaker 1: I think I know when they said the bubble in

1320
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:21,760
Speaker 1: Orlando and we know that it's roaring down there with

1321
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,880
Speaker 1: COVID and eighteen and in Florida. What exactly does that

1322
01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:26,519
Speaker 1: mean when you say because I know you was part

1323
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:33,200
Speaker 1: of the executive committee. Yeah, basically, I'm heading to Orlando.

1324
01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to be staying uh in the in the

1325
01:15:37,400 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 1: yacht Club. There's three separate hotels for twenty two teams,

1326
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,959
Speaker 1: about three hundred and fifty or three hundred fifty players

1327
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 1: give or take, including staff. It will be about eleven

1328
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 1: twelve hundred people on campus max. And by the bubble,

1329
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:52,720
Speaker 1: I mean we can't leave once we get there. We're

1330
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,600
Speaker 1: subject to testing daily, will be tested every night with

1331
01:15:55,680 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 1: results coming in the morning. UM. Upon arrival, you basically

1332
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:04,599
Speaker 1: get tested in your room, and you have about twenty

1333
01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 1: four or thirty six hours and you receive another test,

1334
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,559
Speaker 1: and you can't leave until you receive two consecutive negative tests.

1335
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:14,680
Speaker 1: And basically your only job responsibility is to you know,

1336
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 1: conduct yourself in the orderly manner and do your business,

1337
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: go to practice, UM, performing your games, and stay out

1338
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:24,439
Speaker 1: the way, and then try to avoid testing positive for

1339
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 1: coronavirus while performing at an exceptionally high level and continuing

1340
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,920
Speaker 1: to to speak out only injustices were continuing to see

1341
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 1: and face as black members of society. So I think

1342
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:37,680
Speaker 1: that's that's been my goal throughout this entire process. That's

1343
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 1: been to goal of the Executive Committee and many of

1344
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:41,759
Speaker 1: my peers, is to figure out how we can continue

1345
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: to play, continue to uplift others while inspiring, but also

1346
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 1: understanding that we have an important platform that we could

1347
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 1: utilize to the best of our ability to really really

1348
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 1: spread light on some certain justices that that we're facing

1349
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:56,760
Speaker 1: at society. Now, when you now they told when I

1350
01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:00,160
Speaker 1: was reading the article talking about some some names are

1351
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 1: some slogans will be on your basketball jerseys? Did I

1352
01:17:03,439 --> 01:17:07,760
Speaker 1: misread that? No, you didn't misread it. The NBA and

1353
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 1: the NBPA have come to an agreement on allowing us

1354
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: to have a little bit of creativity with the backs

1355
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: of our jerseys. Basically, the NBA agreed upon a list

1356
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:22,679
Speaker 1: of certain names and or phrases that we can put

1357
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 1: on our jersey. So for the first few games, the

1358
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 1: phrase will stand alone, so it'll be phrase and number,

1359
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: and after I don't know, two or three games, it'll

1360
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: be phrase, number, name listed in that order. And I

1361
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:40,439
Speaker 1: think it's it's amazing that we have an opportunity to

1362
01:17:40,520 --> 01:17:43,400
Speaker 1: kind of a shine of light on certain things, certain

1363
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:48,600
Speaker 1: issues that we're facing as a society. And for me personally,

1364
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it, and I think this is a

1365
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 1: step in the right direction for us collectively. Not only

1366
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:55,600
Speaker 1: will be able to generate money from many causes and

1367
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 1: people who are need but we'll be able to have

1368
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 1: those ongoing conversations that are needed in society today in

1369
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:03,720
Speaker 1: order to help take strikes to are making the world

1370
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:05,799
Speaker 1: a better place. Now, I know you went to Ale

1371
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:11,160
Speaker 1: has a private college, a private university, correct, I think

1372
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:16,240
Speaker 1: it's considered a private institution. Now, Bachelor of Arts and Journalism.

1373
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:20,040
Speaker 1: So when I when I hear the word journalism here

1374
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:23,600
Speaker 1: very probing mind, I hear it in your voice, a

1375
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: person who wants to get answers. I here in your

1376
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: when you when you communicate and you're very analytical. What

1377
01:18:30,360 --> 01:18:32,920
Speaker 1: drove you to journalism in college and get that degree

1378
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:36,799
Speaker 1: in journalism? I actually started off in the business school.

1379
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: My brother has a has a business management degree graduated

1380
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:43,719
Speaker 1: honors from Ghocian College, Indiana. And my mom was really

1381
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: big on you know, certain types of majors that can

1382
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 1: produce certain types of jobs. You don't want me to

1383
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 1: be under the stereotype of professional athletes with majors and

1384
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 1: journalism takes the easy day out, per se, especially when

1385
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 1: you come from an institution like LEHU. So I don

1386
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: know a few weeks in you exactly, so a few

1387
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 1: weeks and I basically realized that I wasn't a big

1388
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: fan of the equations. I wasn't a big fan of

1389
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 1: sitting at the death for the rest of my life.

1390
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:10,680
Speaker 1: That I wanted to be more interactive and have conversation.

1391
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: So a long story short, I told her I wanted

1392
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 1: to switch my major. She asked me what I was

1393
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 1: going to switch to. I said, journalism. She proceeded to

1394
01:19:19,200 --> 01:19:20,960
Speaker 1: ask what are you gonna do with the journalism degree

1395
01:19:21,000 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 1: from a university like Lehi, And I said, understand why

1396
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:29,440
Speaker 1: you know about the economics? About the economics now exactly?

1397
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 1: She's thinking, My sons are going through a Prestigiou school.

1398
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,800
Speaker 1: He's going to be a business manager of something of

1399
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,839
Speaker 1: some sort, a manager in in major in business management.

1400
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:44,040
Speaker 1: So I told her that my plan is to first

1401
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 1: figure out how to portray myself and my words in

1402
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:48,720
Speaker 1: a certain manner in which people can understand it. In

1403
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:50,600
Speaker 1: the second I wouldn't be able to tell stories, not

1404
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: just my stories, but the stories of others. And I

1405
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:55,759
Speaker 1: told her this will, this will help me really truly

1406
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: understand people understand my words and say what I mean

1407
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 1: to mean what I say. So she made me right

1408
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 1: or something, and she said if it was good enough,

1409
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,800
Speaker 1: she would allow me to switch my major. Long story short,

1410
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: it was good enough. I was able to switch my

1411
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:11,200
Speaker 1: major major in journalism. I minded to mass communication and sociology.

1412
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 1: And now I have a great way with my words.

1413
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:15,479
Speaker 1: I know how to articulate in the manner in which

1414
01:20:15,479 --> 01:20:18,439
Speaker 1: it is appropriate for all sides of the fence. I

1415
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:20,679
Speaker 1: can talk in the barbershop, I can talk in Wall Street,

1416
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:23,479
Speaker 1: and I can talk with the homies. So I felt

1417
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 1: like it was the best of both worlds, and it

1418
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:28,719
Speaker 1: still allowed me to kind of pursue my passion because

1419
01:20:29,040 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 1: I knew I wasn't built for that life, although I

1420
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:34,200
Speaker 1: can thrive in in that type of environment. I felt

1421
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:36,560
Speaker 1: like I enjoyed writing thirty page papers as opposed to

1422
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 1: studying for equations and camps, and that that's kind of

1423
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:41,439
Speaker 1: where you know, I felt on that tree. Well, I

1424
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 1: respect that my my degree is in mathematics. You know,

1425
01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:46,560
Speaker 1: I graduated with great in mathematics, and uh, but I

1426
01:20:46,600 --> 01:20:49,240
Speaker 1: didn't start out in mathematics. I started out in civil

1427
01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:51,839
Speaker 1: engineer and then I bounced around until I found myself.

1428
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: And I commend you at a young age, you was

1429
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 1: able to look in the mirror and say that's not

1430
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 1: what I want to be, that's not what I feel

1431
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 1: a passion for and now. But when I hear you talk,

1432
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: c J, I hear a very worldly voice. What are

1433
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 1: the platforms are you using to just you know, just

1434
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:11,400
Speaker 1: just express your personality, express your point of view and

1435
01:21:11,439 --> 01:21:13,560
Speaker 1: share it you in the podcast or you have a

1436
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 1: radio shows? What are you doing beside social media? I've

1437
01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:20,800
Speaker 1: done all those things. I started off my my collegiate

1438
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 1: career working for Lee High Sports intern for Lee High

1439
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: Sports and basically covered all games, all sports and activities.

1440
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 1: I wrote for the school newspaper, the Brown and White,

1441
01:21:31,040 --> 01:21:32,920
Speaker 1: and I was an executive editor of the Brown and White,

1442
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 1: the school newspaper. And then once I was drifting to

1443
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 1: the NBA, I did a daily diary with Series X

1444
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:39,840
Speaker 1: some Radio for a while. So I basically have my

1445
01:21:39,880 --> 01:21:43,160
Speaker 1: own radio show and transitioned that into working for I

1446
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:45,679
Speaker 1: Heart Radio and did that for two years, and also

1447
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:48,720
Speaker 1: hosted UH Jimmy one on seven five, Portland's number one

1448
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 1: station for hip hop and throwback. So you did that,

1449
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:54,879
Speaker 1: you did that? I did that. I put together playlist,

1450
01:21:54,960 --> 01:21:59,599
Speaker 1: I interviewed UH different artists, and I turned that into

1451
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 1: a podcast. Right. I created the Pull Up podcast with

1452
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 1: George Schulton. We basically did a hundred and seven episodes

1453
01:22:08,040 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 1: and that was a two year agreement that's now up

1454
01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:14,360
Speaker 1: and um in negotiations for extending my podcast for another

1455
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:19,639
Speaker 1: two years where we talk about life, sports, current events, wine,

1456
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 1: TV shows, books and so much more. So. I see, uh,

1457
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:27,280
Speaker 1: am I talking to a young producer here, a young

1458
01:22:27,400 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 1: television producer, young documentary And what am I? What am

1459
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:34,559
Speaker 1: I talking to? C j V? Because Man, you're special, dude.

1460
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 1: I I just throw that compliment out there because it's

1461
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 1: something that you own, that you wear, that you talk about,

1462
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:44,720
Speaker 1: that you discussed. Just give us some insight a little

1463
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,599
Speaker 1: bit about you. Or wasn't your mom that that that

1464
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:51,439
Speaker 1: that that that foster this this curiosity and this this

1465
01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:54,760
Speaker 1: this ability to see things with a third eye. Talk

1466
01:22:54,800 --> 01:23:00,240
Speaker 1: to me about that. Yeah. I was just always talked

1467
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 1: to take advantage of your situation, UM, use the game

1468
01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 1: and let the game use you. And I think my

1469
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 1: mother she has still that in me at an early age,

1470
01:23:07,240 --> 01:23:09,640
Speaker 1: basically letting you know that's the society isn't ever going

1471
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:11,200
Speaker 1: to be fair to you. You got to make your

1472
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 1: own path and create your own way and you have

1473
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 1: to do it, but by using all your resources, um

1474
01:23:16,280 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 1: not just basketball, but use your education, use everything around

1475
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 1: you in order to to really take advantage of your situation.

1476
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:26,280
Speaker 1: And if you want to be successful, it's going to

1477
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 1: come from understanding the principles that she taught me, Understanding

1478
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:32,680
Speaker 1: the principles that come from the Bible, Understanding understanding the

1479
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:36,559
Speaker 1: importance of you know, two eyes, two years, one mouth,

1480
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 1: and as the youngest youngest sibling, I learned a lot

1481
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 1: from my older brother who's a professional athlete. He has

1482
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 1: played abroad for over eleven years and is a business

1483
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 1: management major. Who's you know, I've idolized him since I

1484
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:50,839
Speaker 1: was a kid. I've watched my mom work two jobs.

1485
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:53,680
Speaker 1: I've watched my mom run our own insurance business, work

1486
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:56,680
Speaker 1: for the state tax department for fifteen years, working in

1487
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:58,519
Speaker 1: total thirty two years, and I was in a position

1488
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 1: to allow her to retire. I watched my dad working

1489
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:04,840
Speaker 1: in steel mill for thirty years, hundred and fifteen hundred

1490
01:24:04,880 --> 01:24:07,840
Speaker 1: and thirty degrees in some of those cranes, and you know,

1491
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 1: doing what he has to do to provide for his

1492
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 1: family because his father died at an early age. So

1493
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:14,719
Speaker 1: I watched all that growing up understanding that I wanted

1494
01:24:14,720 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 1: a better life for everybody in that In order for

1495
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: that to happen, I had to take advantage of my

1496
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 1: situation while also utilizing my skills, not just um talking,

1497
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 1: not just listening, but performance. You know, you have a

1498
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:30,240
Speaker 1: certain skill, certain athletic ability, you take advantage of it,

1499
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 1: but you use that athleticism to empower people, use that

1500
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:36,680
Speaker 1: to reach new networks, and also use that to get

1501
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:39,160
Speaker 1: an education. So I was able to kind of parlay

1502
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:41,600
Speaker 1: that into where I am now. And that's just the

1503
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 1: credit to my messurrounding with my mother, my father, my brother,

1504
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:47,360
Speaker 1: and um. Without them, there is no good version to

1505
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:50,200
Speaker 1: me now. In sixteen, you opened the c. J. McCullen

1506
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 1: Dream Center. Tell us about that. That's one of the

1507
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 1: things I'm most proud of in my career, being able

1508
01:24:57,120 --> 01:25:00,720
Speaker 1: to party with the Boys and Girls Club organization that

1509
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:04,640
Speaker 1: was so instrumental in my development as a youngster. You know,

1510
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 1: they played a role in providing me with a safe space.

1511
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:08,679
Speaker 1: I wanted to do the same thing for the kids

1512
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:12,559
Speaker 1: um here in Oregon, basically talking to them, communicating with

1513
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 1: them and getting a better understanding of some of the

1514
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 1: things they're lacking and some of the resources they may

1515
01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:19,559
Speaker 1: need and being able to provide that. We started with

1516
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:24,560
Speaker 1: culturally relevant books because there's so many kids who oftentimes

1517
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:26,920
Speaker 1: are forced to read books um that are written by

1518
01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: people that don't look like them and that are about

1519
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:32,599
Speaker 1: things things and people that don't come from places like them.

1520
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:34,760
Speaker 1: So we wanted to first kind of fix that and

1521
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 1: then provide them with computers, provide them with certain technology,

1522
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:43,720
Speaker 1: different things that they may not not only be exposed to,

1523
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 1: and while providing them with the space to attend and

1524
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:50,559
Speaker 1: be a part of pre and post school. That was

1525
01:25:50,680 --> 01:25:52,840
Speaker 1: that was really really big for us, and I think

1526
01:25:52,840 --> 01:25:54,920
Speaker 1: what I'm most proud of that we've been able to

1527
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 1: open up two of them so far. One of them

1528
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:00,519
Speaker 1: is focused more sole on journalism. So they're able to uh,

1529
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 1: they're able to print things, They're able to do green screen,

1530
01:26:03,240 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 1: they're able to produce their own podcast, they able to

1531
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:07,720
Speaker 1: produce their own music, They're able to produce their own

1532
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:12,439
Speaker 1: stories while conducting interviews uh in what's similar to what

1533
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:15,559
Speaker 1: you would see at a weather station or news stations.

1534
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 1: I'm extremely proud of that, and I'd say that I

1535
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 1: think on the on the cake is that we've we've

1536
01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:23,479
Speaker 1: been able to collaborate collaborate with a couple of coding

1537
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 1: companies to where the kids are able to receive free coding.

1538
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 1: They go through uh, they go through the year program,

1539
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 1: and once they finish, I think to two to five

1540
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:36,120
Speaker 1: students are in position to receive a job that pays

1541
01:26:36,200 --> 01:26:38,880
Speaker 1: up to seventy a year with no degree. So I

1542
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 1: think that's something that I'm extremely proud of because it

1543
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:44,559
Speaker 1: teaches kids, you know, from inner cities, kids from from

1544
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: under poverished areas and underserved community areas, how to code,

1545
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:50,640
Speaker 1: and then it provides them with an opportunity to to

1546
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:53,880
Speaker 1: make a living for not themselves with their families. Wow,

1547
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:57,880
Speaker 1: that's les. Let's let's make a transition to the soul.

01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:38,280
Speaker 1: But I've involved, my palate has evolved, and i started

1560
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 1: drinking wine about eight years ago, seven years ago, and

1561
01:27:41,560 --> 01:27:45,120
Speaker 1: I've continued to take roadways to learn more about the grape,

Speaker 1: to learn more about what organ has to offer, and

1563
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 1: learn more about what the world has to offer. So

1564
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 1: I'm thankful to have a partnership with Alisign and be

1565
01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 1: able to bring McCollum Harry's ninety one to life, which

1566
01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:58,160
Speaker 1: is a two thousand eighteen pinot in the war that

01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:07,560
Speaker 1: great pino. And I'm just thankful. I've been able to

1570
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 1: learn so much about so many things that I wasn't

1571
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:12,720
Speaker 1: exposed to as a child. I've been able to diversify,

1572
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 1: I've been able to educate myself and I really really

1573
01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 1: established so many things outside of basketball that I'm extremely

1574
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:24,200
Speaker 1: proud of for my legacy. And but you know that's

1575
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:26,680
Speaker 1: a short story there about what you just did. But

1576
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 1: just let's let's low down a little bit. Okay, how

1577
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:33,840
Speaker 1: did you went from enjoying something, tasting it and then

1578
01:28:33,880 --> 01:28:36,640
Speaker 1: somebody tapping you on the shoulder and say, hey, you

1579
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:38,960
Speaker 1: can you can not only enjoy what you drink, but

1580
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:42,479
Speaker 1: you can make this as a business. How did that happen? Besides,

1581
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:45,160
Speaker 1: you've been a famous basketball player. I'm sure that's helped

1582
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,840
Speaker 1: out a lot. But I'm sure, like you said, you're

1583
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:49,920
Speaker 1: trying to learn the ins and out. Welcome through that

1584
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:54,000
Speaker 1: early stage of of somebody telling you about it and

1585
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:56,880
Speaker 1: then you believe in it had a credible lane of

1586
01:28:56,920 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 1: opportunity for you. Yeah, I'm I'm fortunate to be surrounded

1587
01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:06,839
Speaker 1: by some great people, um in general, from my agency

1588
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:10,160
Speaker 1: to my family to my fiance. We have a great

1589
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 1: circle of people who do think the right way, who

1590
01:29:13,479 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 1: are like minded, but who are also in the business

1591
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:19,680
Speaker 1: of figuring out how to educate, how to how to

1592
01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:21,800
Speaker 1: process what you're which are being educated, and how to

1593
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:26,000
Speaker 1: really turn that into a profitable business. So, based on

1594
01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, certain conversations that we had, we figured out

1595
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:31,400
Speaker 1: what I wanted to accomplish, how to go about accomplishing it.

1596
01:29:31,479 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 1: Accomplishing and who I should you know, potentially go into

1597
01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:38,479
Speaker 1: business with. And we found the great partnership with Adam

1598
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 1: Simon and their biggest thing is education sustainability, and those

1599
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:46,720
Speaker 1: are two key things that I focused my life on.

1600
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 1: I like to educate and I believe in collaborative learning

1601
01:29:51,400 --> 01:29:53,960
Speaker 1: experiences in which we're making the world a better place.

1602
01:29:54,080 --> 01:29:56,560
Speaker 1: And based on their practices, based on what I was

1603
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 1: told and what I've been able to see so far,

1604
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:00,840
Speaker 1: I've been able to learn more about wine, to taste

1605
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:03,160
Speaker 1: certain wines I never would have been exposed to, to

1606
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 1: potentially produce my own wine, to be a part of

1607
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 1: the entire process with the winemaker named Gina, who has

1608
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:12,000
Speaker 1: been exceptional and educating me and bringing some of the

1609
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:14,840
Speaker 1: things that I wanted to like actually comes from Excel

1610
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:17,720
Speaker 1: has has done a tremendous job of helping lift this

1611
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:21,360
Speaker 1: wine business off the ground. From me helping me, helping

1612
01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:25,719
Speaker 1: me in terms of selecting um a PR team, helping

1613
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 1: me in terms of selecting a wine company, helping me

1614
01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 1: in terms of selecting the proper designers to do the bottle,

1615
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:33,720
Speaker 1: of the proper designers to do the label, and the

1616
01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:36,400
Speaker 1: proper designers to help me come with the name in general.

1617
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:38,960
Speaker 1: So there was a lot that really went into this

1618
01:30:39,040 --> 01:30:42,599
Speaker 1: process from start to finish, from from the original taste

1619
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 1: a year and a half ago. So now it's crazy

1620
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,639
Speaker 1: how much I've been able to learn, not only about wine,

1621
01:30:48,680 --> 01:30:52,080
Speaker 1: but about myself and about Pinot Nor in general. Now

1622
01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 1: former teammates really get help was involved as well. Evan Turner,

1623
01:30:56,439 --> 01:31:02,519
Speaker 1: I believe uh was was instrumental. Et is my guy?

1624
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 1: Yeah he's in Atlanta, right, he's it was? He was

1625
01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,599
Speaker 1: with the Hawks. Nice, where is here now? Yeah? Yeah,

1626
01:31:07,640 --> 01:31:08,920
Speaker 1: he was with the Hawks and I think he got

1627
01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:12,840
Speaker 1: bought out and is now currently a free agent. But um,

1628
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:15,960
Speaker 1: I actually my fiance introduced me to wine. In college,

1629
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:19,800
Speaker 1: I got drafted by the Portland Trailblazers. The first pe

1630
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:22,840
Speaker 1: don't to our evertation was Walter Scott, which is a

1631
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 1: volcanic soil and it was from Bryant Creek, my current

1632
01:31:26,200 --> 01:31:29,599
Speaker 1: peno now that I released its volcanic soil and one

1633
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:32,920
Speaker 1: of the grapes that we chose from c J. Your

1634
01:31:32,920 --> 01:31:36,439
Speaker 1: whole personality has changed since we started talking about wine.

1635
01:31:36,479 --> 01:31:39,439
Speaker 1: You know that, right you you sitting on edge of

1636
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:42,880
Speaker 1: your chair right now, you're probably sitting up straight. That

1637
01:31:42,920 --> 01:31:45,400
Speaker 1: means you're passionate about it, You're excited about it. Right,

1638
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm extremely excited. And it's crazy because one of the

1639
01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:52,559
Speaker 1: I went to a winery with my when we first

1640
01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:54,880
Speaker 1: got out here, and then you fast forward and Evan

1641
01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:56,840
Speaker 1: Turner and I went to a winery, and that's when

1642
01:31:56,840 --> 01:32:01,280
Speaker 1: we really dove deep into the learning phase of the barrels,

1643
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 1: the grapes, How long should it fermented, how much alcohol

1644
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:09,360
Speaker 1: should go into it production? Did they stop the gripes?

1645
01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:11,600
Speaker 1: How do they be stem what's the rotation like on

1646
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:15,360
Speaker 1: a bubbly versus a red? How do you how do

1647
01:32:15,439 --> 01:32:17,559
Speaker 1: you produce a red? How do you produce the bubbly?

1648
01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:21,639
Speaker 1: Should your grapes be south southeastern facing or southwestern facing

1649
01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 1: towards the sun? And we went through like this whole thing,

1650
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:28,320
Speaker 1: and that's when I really wanted to continue to figure

1651
01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:30,679
Speaker 1: out ways to learn more about it to the point

1652
01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 1: where I educate myself. I read articles, I watched Netflix

1653
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:37,679
Speaker 1: documentaries on psalms, and I try to do blind tastings

1654
01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:40,280
Speaker 1: and just explore as much as I can. And I'm

1655
01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:42,160
Speaker 1: thankful and blessed to be in a position where I

1656
01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:45,920
Speaker 1: can venture out and travel and experience wine in so

1657
01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:48,640
Speaker 1: many different regions. I'm really I'm really thankful for that.

1658
01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:51,360
Speaker 1: Now with that being said, now let's talk about the

Speaker 1: having me on the show. So you're Georgia bred, Georgia

1818
01:41:24,680 --> 01:41:28,639
Speaker 1: Brandon born right, Georgia Brandon born. I am from Atlanta,

1819
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:33,080
Speaker 1: born in Georgia, Baptist. Yes, I love it. I love it. Now.

1820
01:41:33,400 --> 01:41:35,200
Speaker 1: You served some time in the army. That's why we

1821
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:38,240
Speaker 1: had that note about is a veteran owned premium. My

1822
01:41:38,360 --> 01:41:41,439
Speaker 1: younger my oldest. But I have two of my youngest

1823
01:41:41,840 --> 01:41:44,439
Speaker 1: brother he served in the army, and I have my

1824
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:47,799
Speaker 1: nephew has a very popular barbecue stand called Big six Domino.

1825
01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:51,040
Speaker 1: He served time in the army, and so I'm a

1826
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:53,280
Speaker 1: fan of the military. I had a big air National

1827
01:41:53,280 --> 01:41:56,040
Speaker 1: Guard contract when I hand all the recruitment and retention

1828
01:41:56,080 --> 01:41:58,640
Speaker 1: for the National Guards. So I like to believe that

1829
01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm an advocate for the army. Talk about your military

1830
01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 1: experience and how important it was it was to you

1831
01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:07,880
Speaker 1: at that time, and how I use what you learned

1832
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:12,880
Speaker 1: from it into your everyday life today. Wow. M I

1833
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:16,760
Speaker 1: joined the military shot after high school. I tried the

1834
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:20,040
Speaker 1: college thing, but I'm one of those individuals that think

1835
01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:23,360
Speaker 1: outside the box. So I'm like I needed to figure

1836
01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:26,160
Speaker 1: out life because I had moments where I was in

1837
01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:30,040
Speaker 1: school and it was teaching things that was not applying

1838
01:42:30,120 --> 01:42:33,840
Speaker 1: to my actual realistic life at that moment. And so

1839
01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:37,880
Speaker 1: I decided that I wanted to take the route, as

1840
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 1: you know, through the military, just to see the world,

1841
01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:43,960
Speaker 1: just to experience different things. Because when you come from

1842
01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:47,519
Speaker 1: a background where it's not properly set up for you,

1843
01:42:47,520 --> 01:42:50,120
Speaker 1: you have to figure things out. You can't always do

1844
01:42:50,240 --> 01:42:53,519
Speaker 1: the blame game, right. And so I decided to go

1845
01:42:53,560 --> 01:42:57,320
Speaker 1: into the military idea four years active duty, and that

1846
01:42:57,439 --> 01:43:00,640
Speaker 1: was a journey. I've seen so many things. Um, what

1847
01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:02,679
Speaker 1: what did you what did you train at in the army?

1848
01:43:02,760 --> 01:43:05,000
Speaker 1: What about what part you from Atlanta, Georgia? Where did

1849
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:08,519
Speaker 1: you go to train? South Carolina? And you were stationed

1850
01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:11,960
Speaker 1: I was for I was stationed at Fort Louis, which

1851
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:15,799
Speaker 1: is in Seattle, right right, So you went from the South,

1852
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:19,720
Speaker 1: trained in South Carolina and next thing you know, you

1853
01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:23,680
Speaker 1: in Seattle, Washington, which is really a different part of

1854
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:27,240
Speaker 1: the country. Range a lot beautiful part of the country,

1855
01:43:27,240 --> 01:43:29,559
Speaker 1: A lot of woods up there, kind of like the Georgia.

1856
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:31,720
Speaker 1: Georgia has a lot of woods down here. Tell us

1857
01:43:31,720 --> 01:43:34,320
Speaker 1: about that that that that experience of being in a

1858
01:43:34,800 --> 01:43:37,400
Speaker 1: That's what I love about travel. Travel exposed us to

1859
01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:40,240
Speaker 1: a lot of different things, different different cultures, different eating

1860
01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:43,200
Speaker 1: habits and all that tell us about that journey, you know,

1861
01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:47,680
Speaker 1: going to at that moment, I had never been anywhere,

1862
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:49,840
Speaker 1: to be honest put yourself. It was a It was

1863
01:43:49,880 --> 01:43:53,160
Speaker 1: a shocker to me because going to Seattle's completely different

1864
01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 1: from the South one. Nothing is the same. The restaurants

1865
01:43:56,960 --> 01:43:59,600
Speaker 1: is different, the people there, the culture is different, the

1866
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:02,840
Speaker 1: walk sup life, and the mentality is different. So I

1867
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:06,439
Speaker 1: had to change as I was there because I was

1868
01:44:06,479 --> 01:44:08,760
Speaker 1: so used to my way. I was so used to

1869
01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:11,559
Speaker 1: what was introduced to me that I had to learn

1870
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:15,160
Speaker 1: new things. I had to you know, have a different

1871
01:44:15,160 --> 01:44:18,200
Speaker 1: taste palade because you know, the food was different. Um,

1872
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 1: the ways that they do things was quite different. And

1873
01:44:21,280 --> 01:44:24,720
Speaker 1: as I was going through my journey in the military,

1874
01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:27,960
Speaker 1: I was tested so many and so many times because

1875
01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:31,720
Speaker 1: it's different. You go through things that you can't speak on. Um,

1876
01:44:31,760 --> 01:44:34,960
Speaker 1: you experience things is gonna change you forever. And the

1877
01:44:35,080 --> 01:44:38,599
Speaker 1: one thing that I truly appreciate from the military was

1878
01:44:38,640 --> 01:44:42,679
Speaker 1: the genuine friendships I was able to build. It wasn't

1879
01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:46,800
Speaker 1: a color. It was just humans that just build a

1880
01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:50,200
Speaker 1: connection and that was considered your family, your batta buddies,

1881
01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:52,880
Speaker 1: and so I went through so many things. But I

1882
01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 1: also lost a lot of friends too, you know, and

1883
01:44:56,040 --> 01:45:00,439
Speaker 1: so it puts you in a different um perspective of life.

1884
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:04,400
Speaker 1: And it also teaches you how to rise above, grow

1885
01:45:04,520 --> 01:45:07,600
Speaker 1: up and let things go. So you know how a

1886
01:45:08,439 --> 01:45:11,839
Speaker 1: normal people hold brudget. Once you go through the military,

1887
01:45:11,880 --> 01:45:14,240
Speaker 1: you learn how to let that stuff go because people

1888
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:17,719
Speaker 1: lives are not promised. You're not promised to see somebody

1889
01:45:17,720 --> 01:45:20,880
Speaker 1: the next day. So you have to let things go

1890
01:45:21,160 --> 01:45:24,680
Speaker 1: very fast because you want to enjoy those moments that

1891
01:45:24,800 --> 01:45:27,759
Speaker 1: you have, in those experiences that you have with people,

1892
01:45:28,080 --> 01:45:31,440
Speaker 1: because life is not just pretty. You know. I understand

1893
01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:35,000
Speaker 1: that sometimes social media and TV will put on these

1894
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:38,280
Speaker 1: different perspectives as if this is how life is. That's

1895
01:45:38,280 --> 01:45:42,040
Speaker 1: completely not true. You know, that's entertainment. It's a difference

1896
01:45:42,080 --> 01:45:47,320
Speaker 1: between entertainment and reality. Right I was going through the journey,

1897
01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:50,439
Speaker 1: and while I was in the military, I went through

1898
01:45:50,439 --> 01:45:56,160
Speaker 1: a really dark moment you know. There. Yes, it was

1899
01:45:56,160 --> 01:46:00,640
Speaker 1: a lot going on. It was you know, very controversial.

1900
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:04,240
Speaker 1: It's the same things that happened instide of the real

1901
01:46:04,240 --> 01:46:06,800
Speaker 1: world happens in the military, whether it's race, whether it's

1902
01:46:06,920 --> 01:46:09,879
Speaker 1: anything that you go through a lot of things inside

1903
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:13,519
Speaker 1: the military that it's not truly spoken, but it truly

1904
01:46:13,560 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 1: will develop you mentally, and it would give you a

1905
01:46:17,120 --> 01:46:20,920
Speaker 1: sense of dedication, hard work, and a sense of respect

1906
01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:23,720
Speaker 1: for a lot of different cultures. Right. But as I

1907
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:26,040
Speaker 1: was going through the journey, I went through a dark

1908
01:46:26,080 --> 01:46:30,000
Speaker 1: moment of depression because here I am, um, a young female,

1909
01:46:30,479 --> 01:46:33,640
Speaker 1: you know, just turning twenty one. I moved away. I

1910
01:46:33,640 --> 01:46:36,400
Speaker 1: don't have no friends, no family, nothing, and I'm in

1911
01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:38,559
Speaker 1: a whole another on the other side of the world,

1912
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:41,519
Speaker 1: and I'm going through things by myself. And it got

1913
01:46:41,560 --> 01:46:43,519
Speaker 1: to a point where I couldn't pick up the phone

1914
01:46:43,520 --> 01:46:46,800
Speaker 1: and call my mama, or call my brothers or tell

1915
01:46:46,840 --> 01:46:49,120
Speaker 1: them what was going on, because if I did, I

1916
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:51,280
Speaker 1: would have stressed them out. And they couldn't save me.

1917
01:46:51,760 --> 01:46:54,880
Speaker 1: They couldn't come pick me up, They couldn't remove me

1918
01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:57,519
Speaker 1: from my situation. So I had to go through it.

1919
01:46:57,920 --> 01:47:01,840
Speaker 1: And um, I remember going through those moments of depression.

1920
01:47:02,160 --> 01:47:04,240
Speaker 1: And let me tell you this, I didn't know what

1921
01:47:04,280 --> 01:47:07,520
Speaker 1: depression was. I heard about it, I read about it,

1922
01:47:07,560 --> 01:47:09,880
Speaker 1: but it was like something that you read about, but

1923
01:47:09,960 --> 01:47:13,120
Speaker 1: until you go through, and you don't understand it, because

1924
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:17,240
Speaker 1: the fight is getting out of depression. Seek it takes

1925
01:47:17,280 --> 01:47:20,120
Speaker 1: you a minute to think into depression because half the

1926
01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:22,439
Speaker 1: time you don't even realize you depressed. You're going through

1927
01:47:22,479 --> 01:47:24,280
Speaker 1: things and you think that's just a part of life.

1928
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:27,080
Speaker 1: But once you get in it and you recognize it,

1929
01:47:27,080 --> 01:47:29,880
Speaker 1: it's a battle just trying to get yourself out of it.

1930
01:47:30,120 --> 01:47:33,200
Speaker 1: And I remember that moment that I was able to

1931
01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:37,000
Speaker 1: truly define what depression was and how I was able

1932
01:47:37,040 --> 01:47:40,040
Speaker 1: to get out of it. I remember one day it

1933
01:47:40,160 --> 01:47:42,559
Speaker 1: had got to the point where I would just get

1934
01:47:42,640 --> 01:47:45,320
Speaker 1: up and go to work and then sleep. All I

1935
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:47,519
Speaker 1: did was one thing I knew how to do, would

1936
01:47:47,560 --> 01:47:49,559
Speaker 1: go to work. But after that I would sleep my

1937
01:47:49,640 --> 01:47:53,720
Speaker 1: days away. And I woke up one day and I

1938
01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:57,200
Speaker 1: looked myself in the mirror and I said, you're even

1939
01:47:57,200 --> 01:48:01,040
Speaker 1: gonna kill yourself, or you're gonna push through. And when

1940
01:48:01,040 --> 01:48:03,920
Speaker 1: I fail. When I said kill myself, I'm not saying literally,

1941
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking about mentally, because you have so much to offer,

1942
01:48:09,439 --> 01:48:12,320
Speaker 1: and sometimes we get caught up in our own illusions,

1943
01:48:12,320 --> 01:48:15,759
Speaker 1: our own thoughts that we start to create these different things,

1944
01:48:15,880 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 1: create these different methods, or we'll start thinking that people

1945
01:48:19,360 --> 01:48:21,519
Speaker 1: feel this way about its not knowing that they're going

1946
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:25,599
Speaker 1: through their own things as well. So we'll start projecting strength,

1947
01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:29,000
Speaker 1: projecting different things that we're going through. And so I

1948
01:48:29,040 --> 01:48:31,200
Speaker 1: told myself, I have too much to offer. I'm an

1949
01:48:31,200 --> 01:48:34,040
Speaker 1: amazing individual. Look at all these people that are counting

1950
01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:36,000
Speaker 1: on you. Look at all these people that come to

1951
01:48:36,040 --> 01:48:40,080
Speaker 1: you for advice. You are somebody, You mean something to somebody.

1952
01:48:40,120 --> 01:48:43,000
Speaker 1: Now you gotta dig deep inside and start to have

1953
01:48:43,080 --> 01:48:47,200
Speaker 1: that value for yourself. And once I realized that, that's

1954
01:48:47,200 --> 01:48:49,559
Speaker 1: how I got out of it. And so that is

1955
01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:51,960
Speaker 1: how I got to the point of wanting to write

1956
01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:55,960
Speaker 1: a book called Life After Depression. Wow, when I when

1957
01:48:56,000 --> 01:49:00,000
Speaker 1: I hear you talk about depression, you know, I don't

1958
01:49:00,080 --> 01:49:04,799
Speaker 1: want this to be about time, you know, dark moments

1959
01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:07,760
Speaker 1: in your life, because your life is upbeat, your motivator,

1960
01:49:08,320 --> 01:49:12,040
Speaker 1: you you're you're willing to step and tell your sincere

1961
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:14,599
Speaker 1: side of your story, which I think is important because

1962
01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:16,439
Speaker 1: a lot of people want to tell that story. They

1963
01:49:16,479 --> 01:49:19,920
Speaker 1: want to like being read everything's good, Everything's good, And

1964
01:49:19,960 --> 01:49:22,720
Speaker 1: because you gotta everything is not good. My life is

1965
01:49:22,720 --> 01:49:25,120
Speaker 1: not perfect, and so on this show I'm willing to

1966
01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:28,000
Speaker 1: tell expose my flaws, and my success does as well.

1967
01:49:28,400 --> 01:49:30,839
Speaker 1: And so that's why I wanted to talk about the military,

1968
01:49:30,920 --> 01:49:33,439
Speaker 1: because a lot of young people make these decisions to

1969
01:49:33,560 --> 01:49:35,280
Speaker 1: go into military. When I was doing the recruiting and

1970
01:49:35,360 --> 01:49:38,160
Speaker 1: retention for their national card, it was you know, I

1971
01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:40,800
Speaker 1: I remember having an opportunity when I came out of

1972
01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:43,519
Speaker 1: high school to get a scholarship to attend the m

1973
01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:48,680
Speaker 1: I t UM school. And when it came to you know, uh,

1974
01:49:49,240 --> 01:49:52,920
Speaker 1: the whole thing about uh serving your country and potentially

1975
01:49:52,960 --> 01:49:55,639
Speaker 1: losing your life and the service of your country, that

1976
01:49:55,640 --> 01:49:59,400
Speaker 1: that backed me back. And so because that's a that's

1977
01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:02,720
Speaker 1: a big decision to make that you're willing to, you know,

1978
01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:05,479
Speaker 1: expose yourself in a position the defense of your country

1979
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:10,360
Speaker 1: to give up your life. Did you understand that when

1980
01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:15,000
Speaker 1: you were and you know, uh enrolling in a registering

1981
01:50:15,040 --> 01:50:16,640
Speaker 1: for the military, or it was just something you just

1982
01:50:16,680 --> 01:50:20,679
Speaker 1: wanted to do? Absolutely not um um. I was told

1983
01:50:20,720 --> 01:50:25,360
Speaker 1: a million dreams from um recruiter um. Because but you

1984
01:50:25,439 --> 01:50:27,559
Speaker 1: gotta understand now that I'm gonna do, I understand they

1985
01:50:27,600 --> 01:50:29,240
Speaker 1: had a job to do as well. They you know,

1986
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:31,080
Speaker 1: it's a it's a reason why they're recruiting and they

1987
01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:32,840
Speaker 1: have to recruit a certain amount of people to keep

1988
01:50:32,880 --> 01:50:35,640
Speaker 1: that job or else they're back to active duty. So

1989
01:50:36,520 --> 01:50:38,599
Speaker 1: I was told so many things, Oh my god, you're

1990
01:50:38,600 --> 01:50:40,720
Speaker 1: gonna get to go to school, You're going to get

1991
01:50:40,760 --> 01:50:42,920
Speaker 1: to do this, You're gonna get to travel around the world.

1992
01:50:43,439 --> 01:50:46,519
Speaker 1: And if I could just give advice to anybody, let

1993
01:50:46,520 --> 01:50:48,800
Speaker 1: me tell you something. If someone decides to go into

1994
01:50:48,800 --> 01:50:52,080
Speaker 1: the military for the right reasons, I say, absolutely, go forward.

1995
01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:55,439
Speaker 1: I don't know about right now right now, but I'm

1996
01:50:55,479 --> 01:50:58,160
Speaker 1: just saying, you know, if you decide to do it,

1997
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:01,680
Speaker 1: make sure you know what you're in yourself into. Make

1998
01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:04,679
Speaker 1: sure your core values go along with what you're trying

1999
01:51:04,720 --> 01:51:07,400
Speaker 1: to do. Because I went in just wanted to escape

2000
01:51:07,479 --> 01:51:10,240
Speaker 1: my life. I wanted to escape the streets, I wanted

2001
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:13,400
Speaker 1: to escape things. I wanted to just you know, become

2002
01:51:13,439 --> 01:51:16,000
Speaker 1: a better person for my family. But I should have

2003
01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:19,160
Speaker 1: still dug deeper on the main reasons of what was

2004
01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:22,400
Speaker 1: gonna be my motivation when I got there, Because you

2005
01:51:22,439 --> 01:51:24,759
Speaker 1: don't know what you're gonna be. Faith. When you dropped

2006
01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:27,960
Speaker 1: off and that bus stop and they tell you to

2007
01:51:28,040 --> 01:51:31,799
Speaker 1: get off that bus, that's when things get real. Life

2008
01:51:31,800 --> 01:51:35,439
Speaker 1: for you is completely different. So it was a journey

2009
01:51:35,479 --> 01:51:37,760
Speaker 1: from stage one to stage two to go in a

2010
01:51:37,880 --> 01:51:41,519
Speaker 1: different places, going to Virginia, having to go to sleeping quarters,

2011
01:51:41,560 --> 01:51:44,479
Speaker 1: having to share quarters with hundreds of people, having to

2012
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:47,640
Speaker 1: have your personal space taken away from you. It's a

2013
01:51:47,720 --> 01:51:49,960
Speaker 1: mental journey that you have to go through and you

2014
01:51:50,000 --> 01:51:53,519
Speaker 1: have to be ready for it. Now, now you're back

2015
01:51:53,560 --> 01:51:56,120
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, you have a very successful vision. It's a

2016
01:51:56,160 --> 01:52:00,200
Speaker 1: C B D store. What exactly is a C B

2017
01:52:00,640 --> 01:52:06,559
Speaker 1: D store? What is that? So? CBD is called cannabinoids. Um,

2018
01:52:06,600 --> 01:52:10,200
Speaker 1: it is one of the top ingredients in the marijuana plan.

2019
01:52:10,680 --> 01:52:14,479
Speaker 1: So basically I am in the marijuana industry if you

2020
01:52:14,520 --> 01:52:17,480
Speaker 1: want to look at it from that perspective. UM, inside

2021
01:52:17,479 --> 01:52:21,519
Speaker 1: of my store, UM, we have products that does not

2022
01:52:21,720 --> 01:52:24,400
Speaker 1: have T A C products inside of it. But we're

2023
01:52:24,439 --> 01:52:27,240
Speaker 1: also going to be coming out with a line that

2024
01:52:27,320 --> 01:52:31,040
Speaker 1: has T C because we understand how certain individuals needed.

2025
01:52:31,360 --> 01:52:38,200
Speaker 1: CBD is cannabinoid and our endocannabinoid system has receptors for CBD.

2026
01:52:38,520 --> 01:52:43,040
Speaker 1: Which is crazy because why wasn't this always legal to us?

2027
01:52:43,040 --> 01:52:45,519
Speaker 1: Why did it take so long? It's the questions that

2028
01:52:45,640 --> 01:52:50,559
Speaker 1: so many people have because CBD has saved so many lives,

2029
01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:55,160
Speaker 1: whether it's a person who has anxiety, oppression, epilepsy, autism, diabetes,

2030
01:52:55,760 --> 01:52:59,760
Speaker 1: you know, pain. So it's just a revolution. It's amazing.

2031
01:52:59,800 --> 01:53:01,920
Speaker 1: It's one of the most amazing products that I have

2032
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:04,840
Speaker 1: ever been introduced to. And how I got into the

2033
01:53:04,920 --> 01:53:08,240
Speaker 1: business was a unique journey from me. Okay, now you know,

2034
01:53:08,320 --> 01:53:10,519
Speaker 1: you just gonna it's gonna make that statement. You're just

2035
01:53:10,560 --> 01:53:13,200
Speaker 1: gonna stop talking. You know, you know how to talk.

2036
01:53:13,960 --> 01:53:17,960
Speaker 1: It was a new, unique, unique journey for me period

2037
01:53:18,040 --> 01:53:24,240
Speaker 1: had had. What happened was when I was starting to

2038
01:53:24,240 --> 01:53:27,800
Speaker 1: get out the military. Ben in Seattle, Um, there's nothing

2039
01:53:27,800 --> 01:53:31,120
Speaker 1: but dispensary. So marijuana is legal there. And so you know,

2040
01:53:31,479 --> 01:53:33,840
Speaker 1: I never been a part of a state where people

2041
01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:36,960
Speaker 1: smoked marijuana and still went to work on time. It

2042
01:53:37,080 --> 01:53:41,160
Speaker 1: did not change nothing. Everybody was around it. They had

2043
01:53:41,560 --> 01:53:46,719
Speaker 1: marijuana in hot saws, lotions, um, candy. It was everything,

2044
01:53:46,760 --> 01:53:50,360
Speaker 1: and people was function as if and the dispensary was

2045
01:53:50,400 --> 01:53:53,400
Speaker 1: a size and target. You know, it's just like walking in,

2046
01:53:53,560 --> 01:53:55,800
Speaker 1: getting what you need, leaving and going about your day.

2047
01:53:56,160 --> 01:53:58,920
Speaker 1: And so I started to you know, learn it and

2048
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:02,240
Speaker 1: really frying out the mask behind it. And I remember

2049
01:54:02,280 --> 01:54:05,000
Speaker 1: one day my mom was in pain and she had

2050
01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:06,599
Speaker 1: went to the doctor. You know, they'd be giving out

2051
01:54:06,600 --> 01:54:09,280
Speaker 1: all these pain medicines. So I took the label. I

2052
01:54:09,320 --> 01:54:11,200
Speaker 1: gave her some pain cream and I took the label

2053
01:54:11,240 --> 01:54:12,920
Speaker 1: off and I said, oh, Mama, they gave me this,

2054
01:54:13,400 --> 01:54:16,760
Speaker 1: and I told her to try it. And it worked right.

2055
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:20,880
Speaker 1: It was nothing but CBD, you know, And so I

2056
01:54:20,920 --> 01:54:23,320
Speaker 1: just had to let her know sometimes it takes for

2057
01:54:23,400 --> 01:54:26,280
Speaker 1: us to try something different. Just because a man tell

2058
01:54:26,360 --> 01:54:28,280
Speaker 1: you to take a field, don't mean you gotta take it.

2059
01:54:28,560 --> 01:54:31,120
Speaker 1: You gotta just step outside the box and start doing

2060
01:54:31,160 --> 01:54:34,320
Speaker 1: research on what you're in taking in your digestive system.

2061
01:54:34,400 --> 01:54:36,640
Speaker 1: And so, as I was going through it and I

2062
01:54:36,720 --> 01:54:39,360
Speaker 1: was learning the business, UM, I started working for this

2063
01:54:39,560 --> 01:54:42,920
Speaker 1: great UM corporate company, and I was doing so well

2064
01:54:42,960 --> 01:54:46,440
Speaker 1: in that corporate company, they moved me to another place,

2065
01:54:46,520 --> 01:54:49,760
Speaker 1: which back to the South, which where marijuana CBD was

2066
01:54:49,800 --> 01:54:52,680
Speaker 1: no longer legal. Now, as I was going through my

2067
01:54:52,840 --> 01:54:56,840
Speaker 1: journey UM, one day I went to the doctor, UM,

2068
01:54:56,880 --> 01:54:59,240
Speaker 1: the eye doctor, and I needed some new glasses because

2069
01:54:59,240 --> 01:55:01,960
Speaker 1: I was still using the glasses from the military. And

2070
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:05,840
Speaker 1: the lady told me that the pressure in my eyes

2071
01:55:06,320 --> 01:55:09,440
Speaker 1: was so was so strong that it was still if

2072
01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:13,120
Speaker 1: I'm either on drugs or something is wrong. And I'm like, ma'am,

2073
01:55:13,200 --> 01:55:15,080
Speaker 1: I'll let you know if I did some weed or something,

2074
01:55:15,080 --> 01:55:16,720
Speaker 1: but I don't do drugs. You know, I don't do

2075
01:55:16,800 --> 01:55:21,800
Speaker 1: drug drugs. You know, that's just not what I do. Okay,

2076
01:55:22,640 --> 01:55:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, man, I don't do that, right, you do right.

2077
01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:33,360
Speaker 1: I ended up going to go get an m R.

2078
01:55:33,440 --> 01:55:36,920
Speaker 1: I and I later found out. I got a call

2079
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:38,600
Speaker 1: one day. I was sitting at home. I got a

2080
01:55:38,640 --> 01:55:40,760
Speaker 1: call and the doctor was on the phone and they

2081
01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:43,600
Speaker 1: were sounding so stressed out that they had made me sure.

2082
01:55:43,720 --> 01:55:46,600
Speaker 1: That was like, you know, Ms Jennings, Um, we wanted

2083
01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:48,160
Speaker 1: to see if you have some time to talk. And

2084
01:55:48,200 --> 01:55:50,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, what's up? And it was like, we wanted

2085
01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:52,560
Speaker 1: to let you know that you we found that you

2086
01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:56,040
Speaker 1: had a propteritory gland tumor. The size is large and

2087
01:55:56,440 --> 01:55:59,280
Speaker 1: we might have to do brain surgery. Man, I'm young.

2088
01:55:59,680 --> 01:56:03,000
Speaker 1: My art dropped, you know. I remember, everybody's just in

2089
01:56:03,040 --> 01:56:06,520
Speaker 1: a liberal I'm crying. I'm like, I just the feeling

2090
01:56:06,640 --> 01:56:08,480
Speaker 1: just came back. I was crying. I was like, you

2091
01:56:08,480 --> 01:56:10,200
Speaker 1: know what, I'm just going to take all my money

2092
01:56:10,200 --> 01:56:12,560
Speaker 1: go to after travel. You know, my life is over

2093
01:56:15,480 --> 01:56:17,520
Speaker 1: First of all, you just gonna take all your money

2094
01:56:17,520 --> 01:56:20,320
Speaker 1: go to Africa. That's that's what got me laughing. All

2095
01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:23,880
Speaker 1: of you got the grippa, you gotta wife, you gotta

2096
01:56:24,200 --> 01:56:26,640
Speaker 1: Mexican riviera. I was gonna take all my money go

2097
01:56:26,680 --> 01:56:30,360
Speaker 1: to Africa, Risha, That's what I'm going. That's exactly what

2098
01:56:30,440 --> 01:56:33,680
Speaker 1: I was thinking. And I remember my mom told me.

2099
01:56:33,800 --> 01:56:36,240
Speaker 1: She said, girl, she said you were stronger than that.

2100
01:56:36,440 --> 01:56:38,800
Speaker 1: She said, first of all, them doctors don't have the

2101
01:56:38,880 --> 01:56:40,640
Speaker 1: last day, so when you need to look more into

2102
01:56:40,680 --> 01:56:45,840
Speaker 1: your situation. And so at that moment, at that moment

2103
01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:49,720
Speaker 1: that they told me that, I started to make myself sick.

2104
01:56:50,320 --> 01:56:54,240
Speaker 1: Strength started to build up, my my thoughts started to change,

2105
01:56:54,240 --> 01:56:57,480
Speaker 1: and once again the whole little circle roller coaster was

2106
01:56:57,520 --> 01:56:59,440
Speaker 1: there until I say, you know what, I'm not gonna

2107
01:56:59,440 --> 01:57:02,120
Speaker 1: do this. I'm not gonna do this to myself. So

2108
01:57:02,440 --> 01:57:05,919
Speaker 1: I started to talk to the doctors, do more research,

2109
01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:08,800
Speaker 1: and then to find out that the doctor that called

2110
01:57:08,840 --> 01:57:12,520
Speaker 1: me with the information was a doctor that was in training.

2111
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:15,400
Speaker 1: First of all, so that was the wrong That was

2112
01:57:15,440 --> 01:57:18,080
Speaker 1: the wrong procedure there to have someone in training to

2113
01:57:18,160 --> 01:57:20,880
Speaker 1: call me and deliver some news like that. And so

2114
01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:24,160
Speaker 1: as the journey went. I mean, I can't even account

2115
01:57:24,200 --> 01:57:25,680
Speaker 1: how many m R I s I didn't have, but

2116
01:57:25,960 --> 01:57:28,400
Speaker 1: to find out, by the grace of God, my tumor

2117
01:57:28,520 --> 01:57:32,360
Speaker 1: was benign, so answer free. Um. As time went by,

2118
01:57:32,320 --> 01:57:36,280
Speaker 1: I start doing my my own holistic ways CBD, different

2119
01:57:36,320 --> 01:57:38,720
Speaker 1: things like that, and I went back the tumor was

2120
01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:42,080
Speaker 1: not growing. There was like, well, miss Jennings, you you're fine.

2121
01:57:42,400 --> 01:57:45,440
Speaker 1: We're just gonna keep monitoring. And at that moment I

2122
01:57:45,440 --> 01:57:49,919
Speaker 1: started to notice that you are the creator. You create

2123
01:57:50,000 --> 01:57:53,840
Speaker 1: those thoughts and you create what mindset you're going to

2124
01:57:53,920 --> 01:57:56,800
Speaker 1: be in. When the doctor tell you bad news, they

2125
01:57:56,840 --> 01:58:00,520
Speaker 1: do not have the last say though. So at that moment,

2126
01:58:00,760 --> 01:58:04,040
Speaker 1: that's when I'm like, wow, CBD came back to me again.

2127
01:58:04,520 --> 01:58:07,880
Speaker 1: Remember I'm like, okay, I left it. I went to

2128
01:58:08,320 --> 01:58:11,320
Speaker 1: started the whole new thing because I couldn't do that dispensary.

2129
01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm in a state where it's not legal. Now the

2130
01:58:13,080 --> 01:58:16,160
Speaker 1: CBDs part comes back to me. And then as time

2131
01:58:16,200 --> 01:58:19,680
Speaker 1: went by, two thousand eighteen came the Farm Bill path.

2132
01:58:19,920 --> 01:58:22,320
Speaker 1: Now CBD is legal in Georgia. We can sell up

2133
01:58:22,320 --> 01:58:26,560
Speaker 1: to three percent t a SATs. So as I, you know,

2134
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:29,800
Speaker 1: was doing well when I was transferring, you know, going

2135
01:58:29,840 --> 01:58:33,760
Speaker 1: to different places. My last location where I got transferred

2136
01:58:33,840 --> 01:58:37,600
Speaker 1: from my job was Atlanta, my hometown, and I remember

2137
01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:41,839
Speaker 1: having all these employees. I had did very well for myself,

2138
01:58:41,880 --> 01:58:44,240
Speaker 1: and I had so many people that would come to

2139
01:58:44,320 --> 01:58:46,640
Speaker 1: me for advice. I had my peers. I was helping

2140
01:58:46,680 --> 01:58:50,240
Speaker 1: people come up with their plans being c and I'm like,

2141
01:58:50,320 --> 01:58:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, to speaking license to everybody else, what are

2142
01:58:52,640 --> 01:58:55,440
Speaker 1: you gonna do for yourself? How was you going to

2143
01:58:55,560 --> 01:58:58,960
Speaker 1: manifest things for yourself? And so that's when I started

2144
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:02,720
Speaker 1: to create newly. Some one day, I was sitting in

2145
01:59:02,800 --> 01:59:06,160
Speaker 1: my office, I picked up my purse, I locked the door,

2146
01:59:06,200 --> 01:59:11,320
Speaker 1: and I never returned back to corporate. And after that,

2147
01:59:11,520 --> 01:59:13,960
Speaker 1: I made a decision that I'm going to live for me.

2148
01:59:14,320 --> 01:59:16,320
Speaker 1: And I had so many people telling me, I can't

2149
01:59:16,320 --> 01:59:18,640
Speaker 1: believe you quit that good job. I can't believe what

2150
01:59:18,640 --> 01:59:23,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna do. How you time, I don't know what.

2151
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:27,360
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means, because to me,

2152
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:30,320
Speaker 1: I was working so hard I didn't even have time

2153
01:59:30,880 --> 01:59:33,920
Speaker 1: for to have a life. I mean, I had money,

2154
01:59:33,960 --> 01:59:37,200
Speaker 1: but I didn't have time to enjoy and have experiences.

2155
01:59:37,200 --> 01:59:39,200
Speaker 1: So I didn't look at it as a good job

2156
01:59:39,320 --> 01:59:42,440
Speaker 1: to me my mind frame. I worked to enjoy life,

2157
01:59:42,480 --> 01:59:45,160
Speaker 1: not work to pay bills. That's something that's already known

2158
01:59:45,240 --> 01:59:48,400
Speaker 1: that you have to do. So I wasn't enjoying the

2159
01:59:48,480 --> 01:59:51,240
Speaker 1: position that I was in. I was stressed out, and

2160
01:59:51,280 --> 01:59:53,800
Speaker 1: I had to remove that from I had to remove

2161
01:59:53,840 --> 01:59:56,480
Speaker 1: myself from that situation because of everything that I had

2162
01:59:56,520 --> 01:59:59,800
Speaker 1: been through. I had to start creating a life for myself.

2163
02:00:00,320 --> 02:00:02,400
Speaker 1: And I'm like, you know, this is my passion. I

2164
02:00:02,440 --> 02:00:06,080
Speaker 1: can help assist people with healing. I can motivate people,

2165
02:00:06,160 --> 02:00:08,360
Speaker 1: I can help heal people. I can talk to people

2166
02:00:08,360 --> 02:00:10,760
Speaker 1: and tell them about my story. And that's how I

2167
02:00:10,840 --> 02:00:16,240
Speaker 1: got to here. And look at God, this is it's crazy. No,

2168
02:00:16,320 --> 02:00:18,400
Speaker 1: it's not crazy, it's it's it's you know what I

2169
02:00:18,480 --> 02:00:21,000
Speaker 1: what I consistently hear in your voice. First of all,

2170
02:00:21,040 --> 02:00:23,800
Speaker 1: you're you're authentic, and you're down home, which I love.

2171
02:00:23,880 --> 02:00:26,520
Speaker 1: And I'm from Houston, Texas. I'm a Southern boy and

2172
02:00:26,720 --> 02:00:29,880
Speaker 1: uh and it rings true in your tone and and

2173
02:00:30,200 --> 02:00:34,520
Speaker 1: like I'm a cancer survivor and so I know when

2174
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:36,680
Speaker 1: I know what you felt like I was laughing you

2175
02:00:36,720 --> 02:00:38,800
Speaker 1: by the Africa. I know when they when they told

2176
02:00:38,840 --> 02:00:40,600
Speaker 1: me I cancer, I have some places I wanted to

2177
02:00:40,640 --> 02:00:43,720
Speaker 1: go to. Okay, and uh, because you just never know,

2178
02:00:43,760 --> 02:00:45,680
Speaker 1: because I don't care what any When people tell you

2179
02:00:45,720 --> 02:00:48,520
Speaker 1: that the term or cancer or tumor or anything that's cancerous,

2180
02:00:48,880 --> 02:00:51,760
Speaker 1: it always feels terminal because I don't You don't think

2181
02:00:51,760 --> 02:00:54,600
Speaker 1: about who survived. All you know is that cancer people die,

2182
02:00:55,240 --> 02:00:58,880
Speaker 1: and so and so and so when that happens, and

2183
02:00:58,880 --> 02:01:01,560
Speaker 1: then it happened to you much younger age than I

2184
02:01:01,840 --> 02:01:04,840
Speaker 1: was when I discovered it. And but when you find

2185
02:01:04,840 --> 02:01:07,560
Speaker 1: out about it does put you everything in perspective. And

2186
02:01:07,680 --> 02:01:10,440
Speaker 1: I like to believe that one of the greater levels

2187
02:01:10,440 --> 02:01:12,320
Speaker 1: of perspective is to say, you know something, I'm gonna

2188
02:01:12,360 --> 02:01:14,760
Speaker 1: do what I want to do with my life because

2189
02:01:14,760 --> 02:01:17,320
Speaker 1: it's the only one I have. I like it. There

2190
02:01:17,400 --> 02:01:19,680
Speaker 1: was one of the driving forces to your passion right

2191
02:01:19,720 --> 02:01:22,880
Speaker 1: now and why you're successful now and opening up the

2192
02:01:23,000 --> 02:01:25,879
Speaker 1: CBD store. What was some of the obstacles of opening

2193
02:01:26,280 --> 02:01:33,640
Speaker 1: new leaf Number one? Okay, don't don't you do that

2194
02:01:33,680 --> 02:01:38,720
Speaker 1: to me. So let me say, when I decided to

2195
02:01:38,760 --> 02:01:41,560
Speaker 1: do this, I wanted to have a business partner. I

2196
02:01:41,600 --> 02:01:44,400
Speaker 1: did not want to go into this by myself, because

2197
02:01:45,240 --> 02:01:49,080
Speaker 1: to run a business with one brain is very challenging,

2198
02:01:49,640 --> 02:01:52,920
Speaker 1: and so I was talking to many people and everybody's like, Oh,

2199
02:01:52,960 --> 02:01:56,200
Speaker 1: that's dope, that's what's up that right, But no one

2200
02:01:56,200 --> 02:01:58,480
Speaker 1: wanted to put no money in. People like to read

2201
02:01:58,520 --> 02:02:00,440
Speaker 1: the benefits. They don't want to, but they don't want

2202
02:02:00,480 --> 02:02:03,040
Speaker 1: to go through the work. And so I got tired

2203
02:02:03,040 --> 02:02:05,320
Speaker 1: of trying to sell my dreams to people who I

2204
02:02:05,400 --> 02:02:10,280
Speaker 1: thought was going to benefit from it. I stopped trying to,

2205
02:02:10,800 --> 02:02:13,480
Speaker 1: you know, wait for somebody to give me confirmation that

2206
02:02:13,560 --> 02:02:15,760
Speaker 1: this was a go. And I said, well, God, I'm

2207
02:02:15,760 --> 02:02:18,040
Speaker 1: gonna need you to be my business partner. I'm gonna

2208
02:02:18,040 --> 02:02:20,120
Speaker 1: need you to assist me with this because this is

2209
02:02:20,160 --> 02:02:23,960
Speaker 1: my first rodeo and I need your assistance all all

2210
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:25,440
Speaker 1: through it. I need you to cover me and the

2211
02:02:25,440 --> 02:02:27,960
Speaker 1: blood as I continue to move forward, because sometimes I

2212
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:31,160
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm doing. And when he when I

2213
02:02:31,200 --> 02:02:34,160
Speaker 1: had that talk of God, I felt it he told

2214
02:02:34,200 --> 02:02:37,160
Speaker 1: me to go. I literally felt like I heard a

2215
02:02:37,280 --> 02:02:40,520
Speaker 1: voice that said move, like, go, do what you gotta do,

2216
02:02:40,680 --> 02:02:43,240
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna I'm gonna make sure you're okay. And

2217
02:02:43,280 --> 02:02:46,040
Speaker 1: when I tell you, I decided to make that leap

2218
02:02:46,440 --> 02:02:49,200
Speaker 1: and things started to fall into place. Now, let me

2219
02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:51,280
Speaker 1: tell you. I know, I don't want to make it

2220
02:02:51,320 --> 02:02:53,920
Speaker 1: seem like it was easy, because I remember coming into

2221
02:02:54,040 --> 02:02:58,320
Speaker 1: this building that I chose and having to paint walls

2222
02:02:58,400 --> 02:03:00,200
Speaker 1: due the floors, and I was crying while I was

2223
02:03:00,240 --> 02:03:03,160
Speaker 1: doing it. My back was hurting everything in me. I

2224
02:03:03,200 --> 02:03:05,280
Speaker 1: was everyone who said that it was gonna help. Some

2225
02:03:05,360 --> 02:03:10,800
Speaker 1: people didn't show up, you know, um contract. But you

2226
02:03:10,880 --> 02:03:12,760
Speaker 1: know the thing about it is that it didn't stop

2227
02:03:12,800 --> 02:03:16,600
Speaker 1: you though that that here's the beauty. Let me ask

2228
02:03:16,640 --> 02:03:20,440
Speaker 1: you this. Okay, can you buy your product online? Okay? Cool?

2229
02:03:20,680 --> 02:03:23,240
Speaker 1: So can you do me a favor? Okay? Because I'm

2230
02:03:23,280 --> 02:03:27,800
Speaker 1: a fan. I'm a fan Jack Quis Jennings Um, because

2231
02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:30,560
Speaker 1: I've been going through I saw you featured in Essence,

2232
02:03:30,560 --> 02:03:33,680
Speaker 1: I saw you featured in the E R Web. You

2233
02:03:33,720 --> 02:03:36,520
Speaker 1: know you've done a great job of promoting your brand,

2234
02:03:36,520 --> 02:03:39,160
Speaker 1: and being on my show is another angle of getting

2235
02:03:39,200 --> 02:03:40,840
Speaker 1: the word out that that I commend you on that

2236
02:03:40,920 --> 02:03:42,920
Speaker 1: because people don't know about your business, and guess what,

2237
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:45,920
Speaker 1: people can't buy your business. Okay. And so I have

2238
02:03:45,920 --> 02:03:49,080
Speaker 1: a newsletter I give out every Friday at nine am.

2239
02:03:49,160 --> 02:03:51,680
Speaker 1: It goes out to eighty thousand followers. I like to

2240
02:03:51,680 --> 02:03:53,840
Speaker 1: put a nice little online and in there it's free

2241
02:03:53,880 --> 02:03:56,040
Speaker 1: of charge as part of the whole thing of why

2242
02:03:56,080 --> 02:03:59,000
Speaker 1: I created money making conversations. So if you don't mind,

2243
02:03:59,120 --> 02:04:01,480
Speaker 1: give me a banner and so I can start promoting

2244
02:04:01,480 --> 02:04:03,760
Speaker 1: your branding and help you and let you know you

2245
02:04:03,840 --> 02:04:07,320
Speaker 1: got a friend on Rushan McDonald's willing to build your

2246
02:04:07,320 --> 02:04:09,840
Speaker 1: brand for your charge. Is that cool? That means that

2247
02:04:09,920 --> 02:04:12,560
Speaker 1: means so much to me. And blessing your way, that

2248
02:04:12,600 --> 02:04:15,800
Speaker 1: really means a lot to me, because I really want

2249
02:04:15,880 --> 02:04:18,840
Speaker 1: people to start healing, and it's not even just about

2250
02:04:18,840 --> 02:04:21,880
Speaker 1: being a black owned business. I want people to start

2251
02:04:21,920 --> 02:04:24,120
Speaker 1: to be able to just think for themselves and pay

2252
02:04:24,160 --> 02:04:26,920
Speaker 1: attention to what they put in their body. Because when

2253
02:04:26,920 --> 02:04:29,600
Speaker 1: people start to find out how these medications are approved

2254
02:04:29,600 --> 02:04:32,120
Speaker 1: to the FDA, they'll start to actually read the ingredients

2255
02:04:32,120 --> 02:04:34,720
Speaker 1: inside of their body. Right. Because I love that. I

2256
02:04:34,720 --> 02:04:38,160
Speaker 1: love this. It's kind of like a green like green

2257
02:04:38,280 --> 02:04:42,040
Speaker 1: brown bottle design. It looks really cool, looks professional, everything

2258
02:04:42,040 --> 02:04:44,960
Speaker 1: looks wonderful. I'm just looking at images on the various

2259
02:04:45,000 --> 02:04:47,800
Speaker 1: ads and things like that. I just I love what

2260
02:04:47,840 --> 02:04:50,000
Speaker 1: you're doing here. I love the fact that you don't

2261
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:52,720
Speaker 1: have to have a prescription to buy your product. I

2262
02:04:52,800 --> 02:04:55,000
Speaker 1: love the fact that I have some good friends who

2263
02:04:55,040 --> 02:04:57,440
Speaker 1: are doing this as well. But you know you wanted
