00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: what wealth means to different people and how they value

32
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: it and how they achieve it. Now, if I make

33
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: this statement to you, you have this book off and

34
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: Charles Swarp did a survey in Houston textas they said,

35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: if you have two point three million dollars, you can

36
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: consider yourself rich. What are your thoughts on that?

37
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: I believe, So, you know, two point three million dollars

38
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: to the You know, the the avid citizen is a

39
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 2: is a lot of money and and the key term

40
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: there is rich. Uh. It's something that you can you

41
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: can turn into wealth, but you have to you have

42
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: to make sure you make you know, the right decisions

43
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: with that those riches in order for them, uh, to

44
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 2: to accumulate wealth.

45
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: Right, you talk about long term and I know you

46
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: use two words there you can do. You say the

47
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: word rich and wealth, And I'm assuming rich can be

48
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: defined as temporary. Wealth feels like a legacy? Are long term?

49
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: Am I correct in as assumption?

50
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 2: Uh, You're you're absolutely one hundred percent correct. You know,

51
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 2: I think a lot of times we don't understand that

52
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: those two differences. And rich in wealth, you know, there's

53
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 2: a lot of rich people in the world and there's

54
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: only you know, a few wealthy people and in terms

55
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: of the amount of people that's on the earth, so

56
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: you know, trying to turn those riches into wealth is

57
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: easier said than done. There's a lot of you know,

58
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: stumbles that that go along. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.

59
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 2: Sometimes there's gambles that you have to take in order

60
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: to to accumulate wealth. But I mean there's a lot

61
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 2: of principles that can allow you to remain rich for

62
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: the rest of your life, which is fine, but if

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: you want to you know, be wealthy, you have to

64
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: be very prodent in your approaches to the money.

65
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: Well, it's really important that people understand what he's saying. Leon,

Speaker 1: I mean Elon Musk. He's wealthy, he's he's the richest

Speaker 1: you were not born into wealth, but you came into

82
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: it because the NBA interest you introduce you to a

83
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: higher income. Back, talk about that initial journey of where

84
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: you came from so we can establish the conversation we're

85
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: gonna have about your book.

86
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 2: Well, I'm from a southern Illinois, which is when I

87
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 2: tell people are from Illinois, they automatically as from Chicago.

88
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: But I'm from southern Illinois, which is actually closer to

89
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 2: Saint Louis. Is an hour to a half from Saint Louis,

90
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: three and a half hours from Memphis, and I'm actually

91
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 2: five hours south of Chicago. So I'm in the southern

92
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: part of Illinois. And i was born in public housing.

93
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 2: You know, I was raised by my my mother, my grandmother,

94
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: aunts and uncles. You know, it was It's one of

95
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 2: those things where it takes a village, right. But you know,

96
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,239
Speaker 2: I'm from public housing in southern Illinois. You know, we

97
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: we came from, you know, things that we needed, not

98
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: things that we wanted. You know, you you ate what

99
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 2: was on the table, you know, ate whatever your mama

100
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 2: or grandmother had. Right. We all slept in one room,

101
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 2: right and you know, here and there you have cable

102
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: TV sometimes you do sometimes, you know, so a very

103
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: humble beginning, and and you know, I just found the

104
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 2: love for sports right in my hometown, Carbondale, Illinois is

105
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:58,239
Speaker 2: only it's only probably thirty thousand residents at that time,

106
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 2: and that was including students, so prominent. Residencies were probably

107
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 2: fifteen thousand people in Carbondale when the students wasn't there

108
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 2: at Southern Law University. So very very small town, not

109
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: a lot of infrastructure. Growing up, we didn't have a

110
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: lot of outlets. So sports was a way for me

111
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: to really be able to you know, travel the world,

112
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: travel the state and play the game that I loved.

113
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 2: And it took me a long way. It took me

114
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 2: from those humble beginnings across the world to where I

115
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 2: was playing in Madison Square Garden, the Staples Center and

116
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: all across the United States and able to garner a

117
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,840
Speaker 2: you know, successful career in a large contract. When I

118
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: was here with the Minnesota Timberwolves in two thousand and

119
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: three was my biggest contract. The only one that I

120
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: signed for multi years was here with the Timberwolves in

121
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 2: two thousand and three two thousand and four, which was

122
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: for thirty six minusion dollars, and at that time the NBA,

123
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 2: that was considered a pretty decent contract. Right now, thirty

124
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 2: six million dollars in the NBA.

125
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: Hey, hey, Troy, let's talk about where you signed it. Okay,

126
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: that's a different error. Okay, we talking about people being

127
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: traded and being mad making sixty million dollars a year. Okay,

128
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: now we're talking about thirty six million. What you said

129
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: two thousand and three, Yes, two thousand and three. I you know,

130
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: I sat up in my chair when I heard that contract.

131
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let you know that right now. I

132
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: sat up in my chair. But when people hear that number,

133
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: I always tell people, because you are an you are

134
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: an athlete, I call that working wealthy. And people said, well,

135
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: you here, you rashan. It means as long as he

136
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: can perform a task that's tied to that number, he's

137
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: a rich man. But as soon as he cannot perform

138
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,679
Speaker 1: that task, that thirty six million dollar contract will go away.

139
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: So his work and his income are tied one on one.

140
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: That's not the case with Musk, that's not the case

141
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: with Warren Buffett. They make money while they sleep. They

142
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: make what I call mailbox money. They go to their

143
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: mailbox check sitting in there. He has to make his

144
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 1: money when he went between the lines between those two

145
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: goals on that court and practice. That's how you made

146
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: your money. Did you understand that at the time when

147
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: you signed that contract, Troy.

148
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: You know what, I really didn't because at the time

149
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: I signed it, I think I was twenty five years old, right,

150
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: and it was it was, it was. It was a

151
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: large amount of money at twenty five years old. And

152
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: when you when you when you're young, you think you're

153
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: gonna be doing something for the rest of your life.

154
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: You're not counting to your days. At twenty five, I'm like, hey,

155
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 2: i'ma be hooping for the rest of my life. And

156
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: not understanding that said that the needs are gonna go bad,

157
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 2: the hips are gonna go bad, ankles are gonna be shattered,

158
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 2: I'm not understanding that. So at that time, and like

159
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 2: I said, being the first generation rich, I didn't really

160
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: under stand that. You know that you have to really be,

161
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 2: you know, careful with their spending and you know, and

162
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: I was never an extravagant spender, but even to the

163
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: point where you have to really start taking money serious

164
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: at that point. And the hardest thing for us is

165
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 2: we're always playing. We always have to be on the court,

166
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: we always have to be in the gym, so you

167
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: almost have to rely on someone else to do that

168
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 2: for you.

169
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: Well, you know, let's let's talk about that, because let's

170
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: talk about your time. And people don't understand that when

171
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,719
Speaker 1: you are fatigued and when you are rushed, and that's

172
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: what an athlete is. They're always fatigued, they have to play.

173
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: They always feel like they're rushing, rush Russian. You have

174
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: a general tendency out of boredom to spend money just

175
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: to keep your keep you active, can keep you focused.

176
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: You know, I knew I had that bad habit. You know,

177
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: I just buy shoes, buy shoes, just go buy something

178
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: that because I was just so fatigued. I'm not saying

179
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: I was an athlete, but I was always traveling. I

180
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: was always staying in a hotel bed. And so that's

181
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: what he's talking about. You know, you can you have

182
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: all this money, but you never have to go in

183
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 1: the grocery store and say how much that costs? And

184
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: that's that's not smart. You should always know how much

185
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: something costs. When you lose that context, that's when you're

186
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: spending too much money. Am I correct?

187
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: Troy? No, You're you're you're one hundred percent correct. Like

188
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 2: like you said, when you when you have a certain

189
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: amount of money, especially when you're young, right, you may

190
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 2: you may look at your grandmother and she she's clipping

191
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: off q pons because she probably was young at one

192
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: time and she probably was spending like that. But as

193
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: she got older and wiser, she's like, you know what,

194
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 2: I know, I got a lot of money, but why

195
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: not say this ten cents? Right? And you know, and

196
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: when you have a lot of money, you like, I

197
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 2: ain't thinking about ten cents. You know, I got thirty

198
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: six million, I go ahead and spend you know, a

199
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 2: dollar on some eggs rather than ninety cent, right, So

200
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: you're you're not really not looking at it in the

201
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: ways that you should be looking at as far as

202
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 2: longevity is concerned. Right.

203
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: You know, That's what I'm excited by bringing on the show.

204
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: Troy talking to Troy Hudson, former NBA star his book

205
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: First Generational Rich. Because as you go through that book,

206
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: his test chapters are simple before money, after money, family

207
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 1: and friends, my desires, their desires because it's just talking

208
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: about and it was about I think it was about

209
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 1: chapter five when it actually started talking about him his desires. Okay,

210
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: because let's talk about we kind of talked about before money.

211
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: You talked about where you grew up in southern Illinois,

212
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: traveling the world and then in two thousand and three,

213
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 1: you was making some checks. Now, but in two thousand

214
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: and three, when that thirty six million dollar contract came out,

215
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: your life had the change amongst your friends and your family.

216
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: Talk about that, Oh.

217
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely. In the book, I call the media locke

218
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: in right, right, that's when you know you signed that

219
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 2: contract and it's on ESPN. You can you can type

220
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: in Troy Hutson and all on the internet, and all

221
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 2: my finances and everything comes up, and they tell you

222
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 2: how much I'm making year one, year two, year three.

223
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: And what happens is a lot of people don't understand

224
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: that first and foremost, you're getting paid on the first

225
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 2: and fifteen. So that right there alone means you have

226
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 2: to budget, right, And whenever you're getting paid like that,

227
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: you have to budget. You have to budget anyway, But

228
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 2: when you getting paid like that, you have to budget.

229
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: They didn't just say, you know what, he go thirty

230
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: six million dollars, put it in the bank and now

231
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: you can just spend how you want to spend. Right.

232
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: So when money is coming like that, it's easier to

233
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: start giving away to people's requests. And when I say request,

234
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: I'm not talking Hey, can I ball fifty dollars I'm

235
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: talking about people were expecting fifty thousand, one hundred thousand.

236
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 2: Some were even said, you can give all of us

237
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: a million dollars, right, And it's like, I don't even

238
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,719
Speaker 2: have a million dollars in the bank account right now,

239
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: you know. So people wasn't understanding that, and so right then,

240
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: that's when my life drastically started changing. And not because

241
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 2: of any dwelling of money or whatever. It was the

242
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: relationships I had, you know, the relationships that I had

243
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: with family and friends that had been unconditional because I

244
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 2: didn't have anything to give them, right, so they were

245
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: always unconditional. And the moment when you're twenty five years

246
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 2: old and maybe a year or two start goes away

247
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 2: and you start realizing white people around and whether it

248
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: was some conscious on their part or knowingly, and I

249
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 2: believe it was some conscious in most cases. I mean,

250
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 2: I'm the only person with money money, so I think

251
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 2: it was some conscious.

252
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: An your bedroom, people just standing around your bed.

253
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 2: Exactly. And when you're twenty five years old and you're

254
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: trying to navigate this thing called life and wealth with

255
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: no people that you really think that are there conditionally.

256
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: That's where I think the hardship starts to happen. That's

257
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 2: when the initial hardship starts to happen, because now it's

258
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: mental first, it's mental before it becomes a financial physical hardship.

259
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 2: And when you start losing people for the sense of

260
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 2: you know, I went weeks without answering to anybody's phone

261
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: call because I got tired of you know. We'll talk

262
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: for about twenty thirty minutes and then at last two

263
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 2: minutes is you know what? I hate to say it,

264
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 2: I hate to ask you, but I'm like dank. So

265
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: this whole conversation was really a setup for the act.

266
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 2: And maybe it wasn't, but I start feeling that way.

267
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: Please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more

272
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: Now Troy and writing this book, you always talk about money,

273
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: and before we talk about the financial advisor, where are

274
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: what was your worst investment?

275
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 2: My My worst investment, I would say, was probably in

276
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 2: the music industry, creating a regulabel uh and and and

277
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 2: the bad part of that that investment was I use

278
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 2: my own money. You know, just as you get older,

279
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: you realize to use someone else's money, or thanks money,

280
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 2: or an investor. But I always, you know, I always

281
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 2: was just confident in myself to to the point where

282
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: you know, I wanted to, you know, go out on

283
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: the limb. I didn't want to have to prove anybody

284
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,239
Speaker 2: that I could do something. So if I had the finances,

285
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: I say, you know what I'm gonna I'm gonna jump

286
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 2: out and I'm going to try to make it happen

287
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 2: on my own. So I would say that was probably

288
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: the worst investment. But and it's a it's a it

289
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 2: was a bad investment as far as in the sense

290
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 2: of finances and things of that nature. But I did

291
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: help a lot of people, and I invested in people

292
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: in that venture, so I got some gratification out of,

293
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: you know, seeing people smile and trying to help others

294
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 2: dreams come true. But as far as financially, that probably

295
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: was the worst one.

296
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this on that whole music side,

297
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: because a lot of celebrities, a lot of especially athletes,

298
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: they want the nightclubs. You know, it feels like it's excitement,

299
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,440
Speaker 1: quick money. It feels like they get caught up in

300
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: the videos, the what ifs.

301
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 2: You know.

302
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: The income seems like it can be made overnight versus

303
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: the stock market. You know, that's what I would say,

304
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: go over to the stock market versus investing in in

305
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: the music industry. Where was you at right there with

306
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 1: your financial advisor? Was a financial advisor in your life

307
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,160
Speaker 1: at that time or you were turning to one.

308
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 2: Well, when I initially started to get into the music industry,

309
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 2: I didn't have a financial advice. But then when I

310
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 2: did get one, what we and he understood my dreams.

311
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 2: He understood my aspilations and my drive.

312
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:23,360
Speaker 3: Right.

313
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: So even though you get a financial advisor, you still

314
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: got the last say, right. And I've always been the

315
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 2: type of guy like, no, I stealed this, I believe

316
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,439
Speaker 2: in it, I'm gonna do it. So what he was

317
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: able to do was make sure that I did it

318
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 2: in a more wise way. So I actually built a studio.

319
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 2: In building the studio, I was able to, you know,

320
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 2: get certain of write offs. Then I was able to

321
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 2: lease the space out, and so I was able to,

322
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 2: you know, get some of that money back and at

323
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 2: the same time pursue my dream. We actually had two.

324
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: We had ones. I had studio. I would have the

325
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 2: blue side, and I had the green side. So my

326
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 2: green side was where I can make money, and that

327
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 2: was a different tax credit and benefit than my blue side.

328
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 2: So once I did get a financial advisor, I was

329
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: able to make, you know, sounding decisions. I still made

330
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: some decisions without him knowing, because that's what a young

331
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 2: a young person does, right. It wasn't smart, but I was,

332
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 2: you know, I would do some things because I knew

333
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: he would say, no, that's not wise, you shouldn't do that.

334
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: So those are some of the mistakes I made, even

335
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 2: after I got an advisor, sometimes not being.

336
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: Advised right when you when you were talking about first

337
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: generation rich your book, and you're talking about, like I said,

338
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: working wealthy physically, everything you do is your money is

339
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: tied to what you can do on the court. When

340
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: you make these mistakes, you don't have anybody to turn

341
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: to other than your fellow athlete. How does that work

342
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: itself out when you're dealing with a lot of more

343
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: young people a lot of young individuals in the NBA.

344
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: They are just like you, sometimes twenty twenty two, maybe

345
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: twenty six, maybe a year older than you at the time.

346
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: What do you How does that world that you co

347
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: mingle with deal with all that revenue? And do you

348
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: have mentors?

349
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 2: It's at that time, you really don't. You really don't

350
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: have mentors at that time. And there's something that should

351
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: have been implemented. And I'm not around the game as

352
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 2: much anymore on that side, so I don't know if

353
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 2: they're if they have that now. But one thing I

354
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: would say is everyone was doing the same thing when

355
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: I when I was playing in two thousand and three,

356
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 2: from ninety nine to probably two thousand and ten or whatever,

357
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 2: everyone was doing the same thing. You either had a

358
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: record label, you either had a studio, a production studio.

359
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 2: Everyone was doing the same thing. So we don't operate

360
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: in the way that the owners, right, the owners work together,

361
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 2: the athletes don't work together, right, you know? Do you

362
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 2: have enough influence and finances to where if we wanted

363
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 2: to create our own independent record label, we should have

364
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 2: did or distribution company, we should have did it all

365
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 2: together as a team. As a team means the friends

366
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 2: are the artists, right, but we don't. We all we

367
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 2: work independently. And we watched the owners, all thirty owners

368
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 2: work together to own the NBA, and so the athletes

369
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: don't do the same thing as the owners do. And

370
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: I think that's one one area that has to be

371
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 2: you know correct. Lebron does it in a way. You know,

372
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 2: he has his it called the Banana Boat Crew and

373
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 2: they're kind of paving a way to show you how

374
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: to do it. But it's not collected.

375
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: Right, and that's important. Lebron has just a genius, is

376
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: how he outlined his life. Because he came into the

377
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: NBA with a plan and he's stuck to that plan.

378
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: That's why he's a billionaire. And most of his very

379
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: close friends who we sent to college by the way,

380
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: a million multi millionaire as as well, from Maverick to

381
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,479
Speaker 1: Rich Paul. The most powerful basketball agent. Maverick, which is

382
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: his right hand man, handles all of his deals, just

383
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,439
Speaker 1: signed another big deal to create a European basketball league.

384
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: And then you have incredible Magic Johnson excuse me, Lebron

385
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 1: James himself. But when I look at you in comparison

386
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: and you being able to have an honest book. Because

387
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: the book was honest and they talking about your journey

388
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: as being first generation rich by Troy Hudson. Compare yourself

389
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: to how you were living then and how you living now,

390
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: and what would you have done as a bridge between

391
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: back then two thousand and three and what you're living

392
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: at right now.

393
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 2: I probably would have. And it's tough to say it

394
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 2: because you don't know how that would have turned out, right, Yes, sir,

395
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 2: my thing is having a family, Like I'm married with

396
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 2: three kids now, what I didn't have a wife or

397
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 2: any kids at the time that I was making money.

398
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 2: I think you know that that kind of shields you

399
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: from making certain mistakes that you would make when you

400
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 2: have no kids or or wife or family to take

401
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: care of. In that sense, I think if I would

402
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 2: have had something like that in place, then I probably

403
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 2: would have made, you know, better decisions, you know, I'd

404
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: have made better decisions, more prodent decisions, things that can

405
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 2: can create generational wealth, because at that point I would

406
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 2: have had a generation to be thinking about. Right. But

407
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 2: when you're when you're alone and it's just you and

408
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 2: you're just young, and you're just running around, and that's

409
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,919
Speaker 2: the thing for athletes and some entertainers. We get a

410
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,719
Speaker 2: front load of money at a young age, right, and

411
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: so by the time we learn the things to do,

412
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: it's it's almost too late right now.

413
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: When you talk about the importance of this book and

414
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: why you wrote this book is a definitely I feel

415
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: a lot of the information is relatable. It was relatable

416
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: to me, whether I am successful or not, because he

417
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: talks to you about, you know, pressure and how family

418
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: exchanges and reacts to you based on your success. Your

419
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: success would be a college graduate they were in maybe

420
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: the first college graduate from your family, you're going to

421
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: get a different reaction, you know, the first one who

422
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 1: might work at a what they consider a high profile

423
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: job that you're going to get a different reaction. But

424
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 1: no matter once you moved up a different economic ladder.

425
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 1: That was my biggest take from the book. You're going

426
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: to be treated differently. Is that correct?

427
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: Try? Oh, that's definitely correct. And that's the reason why

428
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: I wrote the book. And it's funny because you know,

429
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: I was going through so many pressures, so many relationships

430
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 2: family and friends that were going sour because of you

431
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 2: know me at certain points saying no, I can't do this.

432
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 2: I can't you know, loan you this. I can't give

433
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 2: you this. You know that it started. It started putting pressure,

434
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 2: you know, on my life because you know, I really

435
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,160
Speaker 2: want to see people be successful. I really don't want

436
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 2: to see people struggling and stuffering. But I'm only one person.

437
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 2: I can't save everyone. So with me having a heart

438
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 2: that I have, he used to wear on me. So

439
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 2: what I would start doing is I would start just writing,

440
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 2: jotting it down in my BlackBerry. I was just starting

441
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: to drive it down my BlackBerry and one of my

442
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,120
Speaker 2: teammates who used to sit next to me, he was like, man,

443
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 2: what you writing there, BlackBerry? And you're writing rhymes because

444
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 2: he knew I used to write rhymes, right. So I

445
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 2: was like, no, man, I'm going through it with my

446
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 2: you know, with a family member. And he like's real

447
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 2: and I'm like, yeah, man, can you believe it? Man?

448
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,639
Speaker 2: He said this, He said that. He was like, brother,

449
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: I'm going through the same thing. And then so I

450
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 2: started talking to some of my other teammates and people

451
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 2: were going through the same thing, and I said, you

452
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 2: know what, this has to be documented. It has to

453
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 2: be written down because I want people to know that

454
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: they're not, you know, the only ones going through this.

455
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: And also I want to write the book so that

456
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 2: future family members, future athletes or entertainers, or just lawyers

457
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 2: and doctors who would be the first generation rich people

458
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: in their family. I want this to be kind of

459
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 2: a guide to say, you know what this is, what

460
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: this is, what this causes, this is what this person

461
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: may be going through, so that they won't subconsciously, you know,

462
