<v Speaker 3>philosophy on financial literacy just looking at your videos and

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 3>stuff like that. But I want to dig back a

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 3>little deeper, like how did you even get into business?

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 3>Like how do you go from growing up in Tampa

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 3>and shout out to Tampa too, because I used to

<v Speaker 4>shout out to it.

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So how did you get into, you know, the

0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 3>mindset that you are now being an entrepreneur, being a

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 3>serial entrepreneur, Like was that something that was taught in

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 3>your household or like how did that come about?

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 6>Being honest?

0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 7>Absolutely not the penance was taught on my household because

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 7>my pops was I mean, my mom's too broro.

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:05.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm gonna say like in.

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 7>Terms of balance, my pops he was big on us

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 7>being able to have our own so I would say, bro,

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 7>he did give us a lot of the independent spirit,

0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 7>but he didn't really use the word independence and he never.

0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.200
<v Speaker 6>Really taught entrepreneurship.

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 7>He taught us like the blue collarway you feel me,

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 7>you're gonna get your you know, get get a minimum education.

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 7>He wasn't big on like, oh, you must go to college,

0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 7>but it was like, you know, get your job, work

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 7>your way up, get your bread, invest in things x.

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.640
<v Speaker 6>Y Z and Bro.

0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 7>To be honest, I think like one of the best

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.440
<v Speaker 7>things my pops ever did for me was that he

0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 7>spoiled me. But around twelve, Bro, he had to sit

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 7>down conversation with me and my older brother and he

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 7>was like, hey, y'all becoming man and at this point,

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 7>y'all need to start figuring out stuff on your own. So, Bro,

0:04:45.560 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 7>what it did for me is it kind of like

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:50.119
<v Speaker 7>it gave me a sense of entitlement. But he also

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 7>taught me the importance of doing for self. So I did,

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:55.839
<v Speaker 7>like from twelve and beyond, I did like like a

0:04:55.839 --> 0:04:57.920
<v Speaker 7>lot of y'all was like, damn, the world owe me something,

0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 7>but he taught me to the importance of heart work.

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.280
<v Speaker 6>So it also instilled in me the world don't owe

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:03.760
<v Speaker 6>you nothing that you don't work for it.

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.720
<v Speaker 7>So Bro's that's what really like. And ain't gonna lie, brother.

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 7>I always hated authority. I didn't have amazing grades in school.

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 7>I like I was a kid that used to just

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 7>like to be late, just to buck the teacher so

0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 7>she could have something.

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:16.960
<v Speaker 6>So structure never was my thing.

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.440
<v Speaker 7>Bro. I was definitely a troublesome child. Like I think, Bro,

0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 7>you know what, the only time I got honor roll

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 7>my whole school career was my twelfth grade year, my

0:05:25.440 --> 0:05:28.160
<v Speaker 7>last report card, and that's because I couldn't pass algebra two,

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 7>so they put me in remedial math and then I finally, like,

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 7>I almost got honor roll. But Bro, for the most part,

0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 7>I always been rebellious and I always wanted to do

0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 7>things my way. So when I did have my taste

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 7>of corporate America and I saw how they handle things

0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 7>in terms of nepotism, chain and command, and just how

0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:45.480
<v Speaker 7>a lot of times we are like the small people

0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 7>on the totem pole, I told myself then.

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 6>I was never going to work for nobody else.

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 7>And in twenty twelve, I tattooed my face and I

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:53.799
<v Speaker 7>just never looked back after that. Bro, I've been running

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:54.919
<v Speaker 7>as an entrepreneur ever since.

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:58.480
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I heard the story about the tattoos. I was like, Yo,

0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 5>that's pretty interesting. Stance was like, Yo, I never want

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 5>corporate America. I know they ain't gonna want me if

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.320
<v Speaker 5>I do this. So you started with one? How do

0:06:06.440 --> 0:06:07.080
<v Speaker 5>we go from there?

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 2>All right?

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 8>Bro?

0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 7>So I tell you all time, like to me, I

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 7>have what what's called an investive spirit.

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 6>This is something I made up.

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 7>But Bro, if I like something, I'm gonna do it

0:06:18.120 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 7>a lot. So that's the how of person I am.

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.320
<v Speaker 6>ROAs. So I got the first one. It looked like

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:21.520
<v Speaker 6>an a.

0:06:21.760 --> 0:06:23.160
<v Speaker 7>It's some one I can't even wann starte this someone,

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 7>but it's an ancient similar strength. And that was my mindset.

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.360
<v Speaker 7>I was like, cool, corporate, the corporate world link gonna

0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 7>want me, I ain't gonna want them, and Bro, I

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:30.720
<v Speaker 7>ain't gonna lie.

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 6>I deal procrastination really bad.

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.039
<v Speaker 7>So that was kind of one of those things that

0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:35.720
<v Speaker 7>put my back against the wall because I feel like

0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 7>I performed better under pressure. So following that, Bro, I

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 7>literally got like eight within like the next two weeks,

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.720
<v Speaker 7>and I just was like, yes the rap, bro, like

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 7>you look crazy nobody.

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:49.520
<v Speaker 6>And it right't gonna lie.

0:06:49.600 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 7>But it forced me to perform at a high level

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 7>because at that point, you gotta make it because nobody's

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:54.520
<v Speaker 7>gonna give you, you know, No.

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:56.800
<v Speaker 6>Fifteen to twenty dollars. Job. Looking how I look these

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.320
<v Speaker 6>days with forty two faser tattoos, you're.

0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Not gonna be part of the well the committee.

0:07:04.240 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 4>So that was intentional.

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.640
<v Speaker 3>That was an intentional player on your part to really

0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.400
<v Speaker 3>force yourself like you like burnt the ships pretty much

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 3>like there's no turning back at this point.

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 6>Absolutely, absolutely, that's dope.

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 2>So procrastination.

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 5>And I am guilty of this as well, admittedly when

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 5>as it worked to your detriment, you know, because you said, like, yeah,

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:24.560
<v Speaker 5>I like my back against the wall, but sometimes we

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 5>put our back against the wall and we don't make

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 5>it off the wall. So when is it not worthing

0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:29.560
<v Speaker 5>your benefits?

0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 6>Bro?

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 7>I learned a hard lesson in that last year. So

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 7>all right, bro, Like my hierarchy of success has always

0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 7>been my father, Right, So my pop's live in a

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.880
<v Speaker 7>really nice neighborhood, real big house, and it's only it's

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 7>a private community, only a gated community, only like twenty

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 7>twenty five homes in their total. It was one lot left,

0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 7>and I went and bought that lot for like sixty

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:55.080
<v Speaker 7>grand January eight two thy and eighteen. My project manager, right,

0:07:55.080 --> 0:07:56.880
<v Speaker 7>he kept telling me, he was like, bro, you need

0:07:56.920 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 7>to give other people access to your account, because Bro,

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 7>I I've had a lot of issues with banks in

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:04.640
<v Speaker 7>the past due to what I teach and I understand

0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 7>like you are here trying to teach a collective of

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 7>people how to end home bank, but your money still

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.280
<v Speaker 7>come through us from Shopify. So like, I've had people

0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.239
<v Speaker 7>in banks that really put me to the sobegn point.

0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 6>Like do you not like us or do you have

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 6>an issue?

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 7>And I'm like, Nah, it's nothing personal with y'all whatsoever,

0:08:19.320 --> 0:08:22.840
<v Speaker 7>It's just the structure that y'all work for. I see

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:24.880
<v Speaker 7>a lot of disadvantages in terms of when it come

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 7>to my people, like y'all thriving, but y'all thriving off

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:29.880
<v Speaker 7>the backs of my people. Like I've explained it to

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 7>him in a nice way, you know, a gang of times.

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 7>But anyway, Bro, he kept telling me, attach somebody else

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.160
<v Speaker 7>to your account so you don't have to visit banks

0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 7>in person, and I kept blowing them off, procrastinating.

0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 6>So I mean my board games, bro, they come from China.

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:45.559
<v Speaker 6>So last.

0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:50.600
<v Speaker 7>Mid twenty nineteen, right, I got another order ten thousand

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.000
<v Speaker 7>and to come from China, and I get ready to

0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 7>just do the wire like I always doing a young

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 7>lady that work in the bank. She's like, hey, I'm

0:08:57.840 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 7>sorry to tell you this, but they got a termination

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 7>set up for your account. You got fourteen days and

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:03.440
<v Speaker 7>you can't spend no money in there. And then when

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 7>a fourteenth day hit, they gonna cut you, cut you

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 7>a cashier check and sing you on your way. I'm like,

0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 7>what happened? So bro, they pull out of Stars Report

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:11.959
<v Speaker 7>and all, and she was like, you went to a

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 7>fifth third in Atlanta, and the lady in Atlanta said

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 7>your transaction seemed suspicious. You had a lot of jurey on,

0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:20.040
<v Speaker 7>you had a lot of tattoos. And I'm like, well, damn, Hi,

0:09:20.400 --> 0:09:23.040
<v Speaker 7>Like that's ground to terminate ac count. But she was

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 7>like it's it's you know they could do it. It's

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 7>their system. So anyway, broke the fast forward. Remember I

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 7>had this lot and I was gonna build my dream home.

0:09:30.200 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 7>I was building like a it was an eight five

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 7>because like, I got a lot of children, bro, so

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 7>I always wanted a huge house. I was gonna build

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 7>a eight five, like four thousand square feet and I

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.400
<v Speaker 7>was gonna be next door to my pop. So I

0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.319
<v Speaker 7>already in my mind when I get the lot I'm like, yeah,

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.320
<v Speaker 7>the mate, I got my bread, I'm finna live next

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.320
<v Speaker 7>to my hero my posts like I'm doing my thing.

0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:48.959
<v Speaker 7>And Bro, when they froze that money, the only money

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:51.120
<v Speaker 7>that I could gather up because they I owed China

0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:54.320
<v Speaker 7>fifty grand was to go back and sell that lot

0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 7>back to the people I bought it from.

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.160
<v Speaker 6>So I ended up losing that lot.

0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 7>I got my games because I used the money from

0:09:58.920 --> 0:10:01.080
<v Speaker 7>the lot, but br, I ended up losing that lot.

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.160
<v Speaker 7>And that's when I started. And I'm like, if I

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.160
<v Speaker 7>had to just listen to him the first thirty times,

0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:07.680
<v Speaker 7>he said, attach somebody else to your account, so you

0:10:07.679 --> 0:10:10.400
<v Speaker 7>ain't even got to personally deal with those people, nobody

0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:12.679
<v Speaker 7>would have ever known anything. And like one visit to

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:15.880
<v Speaker 7>go get ten grand in Atlanta cost me that. I mean,

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 7>I got my board games, but it cost me that

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:19.760
<v Speaker 7>dream home and I would have been neighbors with my pop.

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 7>So yeah, Bro, procrastination definitely do have your time where

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 7>it choked me out and I'd be like, damn, why

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 7>ain't listen? Why I keep I'm thirty and I still

0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 7>and like, Bro, I can identify my issue, and I

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:29.920
<v Speaker 7>still a fall victim to it.

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:33.240
<v Speaker 4>Some time you know, it's learning. It's learning. So let's

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:34.840
<v Speaker 4>talk about in home bank. We're gonna talk about the

0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:35.199
<v Speaker 4>board game.

0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:36.800
<v Speaker 3>But before we were talk about the board game, I

0:10:36.840 --> 0:10:39.760
<v Speaker 3>want to just talk about your philosophy on in home

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 3>banking because you know, like I said, I just some

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 3>research and I know I want you to explain it

0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 3>better than I can, but it's it's kind of like

0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.120
<v Speaker 3>you're doing everything yourself as opposed to getting a job,

0:10:51.160 --> 0:10:53.480
<v Speaker 3>getting a four to one K, getting insurance from the job,

0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 3>getting the loan from the bank. So yeah, can you

0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 3>talk about that as far as like the philosophy behind.

0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 6>That, Yeah, yeah, bro so.

0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.559
<v Speaker 7>But in the nutshell, in home banking is us basically

0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:06.440
<v Speaker 7>assessing the systems, all the monetary systems, from insurance to

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 7>loan systems to banking, and figuring out how we can

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.880
<v Speaker 7>replace those positions with our own people and then still

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:17.559
<v Speaker 7>maintain integrity because I do feel like banks and insurance

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 7>there it's a give and take system, but more times

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:21.360
<v Speaker 7>than not, our people are not the benefactor of the

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 7>business deal.

0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:24.720
<v Speaker 6>We get a couple of crumbs. Like I say this

0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 6>all the time.

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 7>They families have generational wealth, grandchildren college paid for, and

0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:30.839
<v Speaker 7>we be up current generation trying to figure out how.

0:11:30.760 --> 0:11:32.319
<v Speaker 6>To get school uniforms come August.

0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.880
<v Speaker 7>So with in home banking, I really wanted to create

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.600
<v Speaker 7>a structure where like we literally would use their blueprint,

0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.040
<v Speaker 7>but we won't screw one another over on the back end.

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 7>A lot of times how they do so, like I mean, bro,

0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 7>I've had investment groups in the past where the investees

0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.400
<v Speaker 7>would get anywhere from five to thirty percent on an

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 7>an ROI on a monthly return. Because I really wanted

0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:56.200
<v Speaker 7>to show people that, Like that's why like to cover

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.120
<v Speaker 7>or the board game says, we don't need them, they

0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:58.559
<v Speaker 7>need us.

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:00.720
<v Speaker 6>But a lot of our people deal with distrust.

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.560
<v Speaker 7>They're dealing with a strong level of self hate, so

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 7>they don't even see the importance of investing in one

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 7>another and that we literally can create our own powerhouses

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 7>under roof. For instance, Dereka coming out with the Action

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.319
<v Speaker 7>figure this year and I have to front her two

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.760
<v Speaker 7>hundred and twenty five grand for tryinga to start manufacturing it,

0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.680
<v Speaker 7>rather than my daughter have to wait till she just

0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:22.720
<v Speaker 7>turned nine on Monday, rather than her have to wait

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.760
<v Speaker 7>until twenty eight to go beg the loan, I mean

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.520
<v Speaker 7>beg the bank for a loan to get in some

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.200
<v Speaker 7>upside down debt and then pay them back. I'd rather

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:33.120
<v Speaker 7>her daddy front her the money she paid her daddy

0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 7>back and owe her daddy interests. So at that point,

0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 7>I'm stimulating her economy and she's reciprocating and stimulating.

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 6>Mind.

0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.719
<v Speaker 7>The whole point is we're keeping that money at one

0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 7>table and we're still progressing forward because everybody eating off

0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:47.440
<v Speaker 7>one another. So Bro, like to be real in home

0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:51.160
<v Speaker 7>banking is just like banking, but I'm not going to

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:54.280
<v Speaker 7>I'm not giving you one percent on one hundred thousand dollars.

0:12:54.280 --> 0:12:57.840
<v Speaker 7>To me, that's just disrespectful, feel me. So I'd rather

0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:02.440
<v Speaker 7>us like another simp beforematt if if.

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:04.280
<v Speaker 6>Bro, if you have five grand.

0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 7>And me and him need twenty five hundred a piece,

0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 7>you're gonna break down the five grand.

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:09.280
<v Speaker 6>We're gonna kick back the interest.

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.120
<v Speaker 7>Everybody at this table eating because when we're paying these

0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:14.760
<v Speaker 7>outside entities and doing business with them, that money rarely

0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 7>trickles back down to our communities of people that look

0:13:17.080 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 7>like us, period. So that was the whole concept, Bro,

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 7>just studying these structures and then figuring out how we

0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.319
<v Speaker 7>could we could literally emulate the blueprint, but we're gonna

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 7>maintain our integrity within that and not screwing over screw

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:30.079
<v Speaker 7>one another over on the back end.

0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:32.920
<v Speaker 5>So when did we get to a point where, like

0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.959
<v Speaker 5>obviously you said it that on like this distrust issues.

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 5>When do we get to a point where we can

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:40.280
<v Speaker 5>have these structured systems and people trusting each other and

0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:41.200
<v Speaker 5>building off of each.

0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.120
<v Speaker 7>Other, bro I, because look, people always say that to me, right,

0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:46.200
<v Speaker 7>they'd be like, man, family be the first ones. And

0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.199
<v Speaker 7>I'm like, you know, sometime that's true. But that's why

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:50.600
<v Speaker 7>we structure these businesses with paperwork. That's why we got

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 7>to understand the Verbie. We gotta understand the be importus

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:55.560
<v Speaker 7>of black and white. I don't want to encourage anybody

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.240
<v Speaker 7>to have to sue their little brother, but if that's

0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:00.120
<v Speaker 7>what you have to do to maintain some legitimacy with

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:02.040
<v Speaker 7>your business, does and that's what you do, because that's

0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 7>what these entities do. So the crazy thing to me,

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:07.840
<v Speaker 7>bro is people with that traditionalism they rather just contentualsly

0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:09.880
<v Speaker 7>get screwed over for another eighty years than to break

0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:12.839
<v Speaker 7>bread with their brother thinking that he may potentially screw

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.160
<v Speaker 7>them over, like bro, like, for the life of me.

0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:16.960
<v Speaker 7>Broad ill never understand how people fall out with their

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 7>cousin for twenty dollars that went missing at twenty five.

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 7>But she'll do business with a bank until you eighty

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 7>five and you have no issue with them slapping you

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.120
<v Speaker 7>over the head, gambling your money on Wall Street and

0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 7>you feel me in they give you one percent on

0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:32.840
<v Speaker 7>your bread over the course of six months.

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.600
<v Speaker 3>So as far as like the investment club as you

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:38.320
<v Speaker 3>had mentioned, that's I guess like a bunch of people

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:43.240
<v Speaker 3>calling together and they would loan somebody like Susu.

0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, be real, See somebody educated me on Susoue like

0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.200
<v Speaker 7>two years ago, and it's much like Susu.

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 6>So like my.

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 7>Investment group in two thousand and nine eighteen bro, they

0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.920
<v Speaker 7>collectively they invested in ninety grand I brought back like

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.120
<v Speaker 7>nine hundred and eight thousand by way of the business

0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:02.000
<v Speaker 7>that I do with board games XYZ and everybody like

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.480
<v Speaker 7>easily triple quadrup with their money.

0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:06.720
<v Speaker 6>Within a month or two, I came up.

0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 7>I was able to reinvest and put that into other

0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.880
<v Speaker 7>businesses that made more money, and they came up as

0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 7>well because they was able to eat off what I

0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.040
<v Speaker 7>was bringing to the table through my you know my

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 7>personal endeavors.

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the partner that's what they called the partner sism

0:15:19.680 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 2>was Indians.

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 4>Your choice you're making, so they heavy on that suit.

0:15:25.520 --> 0:15:27.360
<v Speaker 2>It's crazy until somebody's like, yo, I ain't got it

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 2>this month.

0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 3>No, I mean but that I mean yeah, I mean

0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 3>as far as the philosophy of it is, is definitely

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:40.520
<v Speaker 3>something that other communities use, especially like you know, like

0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 3>you go to Chinatown and a lot of communities they

0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.040
<v Speaker 3>don't they might come to the country, they don't necessarily

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 3>feel comfortable dealing with banks for a variety of different reasons,

0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.000
<v Speaker 3>so they they do it themselves, like you know what

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:52.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying. So it's not it's not a it's not

0:15:52.760 --> 0:15:54.960
<v Speaker 3>a foreign concept. But I think for us, like you said,

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.440
<v Speaker 3>I think the biggest issue for us a lot of

0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:58.960
<v Speaker 3>times is mistrust because it's like, all right, if I

0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.760
<v Speaker 3>loan this person a thousand dollars, so like I don't

0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:05.560
<v Speaker 3>get it back, it's gonna be a whole different situation now, gota.

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:05.760
<v Speaker 2>Come see you.

0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 5>That's not having the having the economics right, Like, how

0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:11.040
<v Speaker 5>do we can start with five thousand?

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 2>But I't even got five thousand?

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:14.920
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying so, yeah, how did I

0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 4>was so all right?

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 3>So what would you say, like, like, for that situation,

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 3>if it's a bunch of people and everybody's broke, like,

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 3>how does how does that get the ball rollers? Everybody

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:26.160
<v Speaker 3>chipping a little bit to kind.

0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:29.240
<v Speaker 7>Of bro, I would say this too, right, So for me,

0:16:29.400 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 7>in home banking isn't only just like monetary. In home

0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 7>banking is I would I'm in the Airbnb wish you

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.080
<v Speaker 7>had one of the borgains me now, But in home

0:16:37.120 --> 0:16:38.760
<v Speaker 7>banking can be like exposure.

0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 6>So like bro, one of the things I did with

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:41.000
<v Speaker 6>the board.

0:16:40.800 --> 0:16:46.280
<v Speaker 7>Game is my my cameraman, his logos on my board game,

0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:48.360
<v Speaker 7>my graphic design and his logos on my board game,

0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:50.920
<v Speaker 7>my children logo, and I've been in one of them,

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 7>like my one of my most prominent business partners, cause

0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:54.760
<v Speaker 7>these the grant Her logo is on the board game.

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.400
<v Speaker 7>So did we break bread in that instant? No, but

0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:00.560
<v Speaker 7>I dressed it up as a package. So if you're

0:17:00.600 --> 0:17:03.000
<v Speaker 7>rocking with me, you gotta you forced to rock with

0:17:03.080 --> 0:17:05.119
<v Speaker 7>the people who help my business to function, just like

0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 7>if you crack open the board game. It's certain people

0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:09.320
<v Speaker 7>that I that I'm cool with or that I do

0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.160
<v Speaker 7>business with where like some of the actual cars within

0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.600
<v Speaker 7>the board game have their social media, their website and

0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:17.440
<v Speaker 7>their likeness. So bro like to me, and in home

0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.560
<v Speaker 7>banking ain't always about the dollar. In home banking can

0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:21.720
<v Speaker 7>be about the resources or us figuring out ways that

0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.600
<v Speaker 7>we could barter you feel me, Like, if I'm spending

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:26.240
<v Speaker 7>a grand, so say I'm the only one in to

0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 7>circle with some bread and I'm spending a grand a

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.640
<v Speaker 7>month on yard service, then one of the broads can

0:17:30.640 --> 0:17:32.920
<v Speaker 7>come in and substitute that, and then we can find

0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:35.159
<v Speaker 7>we could find another way to redirect that grant, or

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:37.639
<v Speaker 7>I could redirect it to him rather than the outside entity,

0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 7>like and I was just talking about this earlier, bro Like,

0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:42.360
<v Speaker 7>I really feel like in home banking and they don't

0:17:42.400 --> 0:17:43.560
<v Speaker 7>even got to give it that name, Like I don't

0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 7>even want the credit, none of that. But I think

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:49.960
<v Speaker 7>that concept period is taking a stronger lead right now

0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:53.240
<v Speaker 7>with that post pandemic, cause it's bro it's just beautiful

0:17:53.240 --> 0:17:55.520
<v Speaker 7>to see I see so many of us collectively getting

0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:58.000
<v Speaker 7>together and like, no, we're gonna be real intentional about

0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.320
<v Speaker 7>rocking with each other and supporting one another. So it

0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 7>don't even got to be the money Bro, it could

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.120
<v Speaker 7>you You could have somebody that just do the emails

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.639
<v Speaker 7>on the team. You could have somebody that set up

0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:11.560
<v Speaker 7>the zoom calls, the social media, whatever it is. But basically, Bro,

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 7>it's just finding out what valuables and what intangible and

0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:17.280
<v Speaker 7>tangible gifts that you bring to the table us all

0:18:17.359 --> 0:18:20.720
<v Speaker 7>exchanging of bartering or breaking bread, but we're keeping that

0:18:20.760 --> 0:18:22.600
<v Speaker 7>bread at one table. And if we didn't give you

0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:25.080
<v Speaker 7>permission to sit at this table, you're not eating. You're

0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:26.240
<v Speaker 7>not eating with us whatsoever.

0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 5>I heard the marketing genius I wrote that down like

0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.960
<v Speaker 5>marketing gens right, So like that's incredible, right, you're putting

0:18:32.960 --> 0:18:35.439
<v Speaker 5>it inside the game, very intentionally, and of course somebody's

0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:37.800
<v Speaker 5>gonna see that and eventually gonna use that as a business.

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:39.280
<v Speaker 2>He said something about manufacturing.

0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:41.520
<v Speaker 5>Even when you're talking about your daughter's toy going to China,

0:18:42.480 --> 0:18:44.520
<v Speaker 5>what are your thoughts about having manufacturing done here?

0:18:46.280 --> 0:18:46.440
<v Speaker 2>Bro?

0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:48.600
<v Speaker 7>I would love to, but I just don't think they

0:18:48.600 --> 0:18:52.000
<v Speaker 7>could keep up with my volume. I've tried on multiple occasions,

0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:54.679
<v Speaker 7>but I've tried a company out in Las Vegas, and

0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:56.800
<v Speaker 7>I've tried two different companies right here in my city.

0:18:57.960 --> 0:19:00.000
<v Speaker 6>The volume at which my stuff moved.

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:01.680
<v Speaker 7>It's hard for them to keep up, keep up a

0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.080
<v Speaker 7>lot of times, and then I find myself in a

0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:08.040
<v Speaker 7>ten thousand people want a refund type of position, not.

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:08.439
<v Speaker 4>A good.

0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 6>Yeah feeling.

0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:14.639
<v Speaker 3>Now we had we had somebody else that was on

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.000
<v Speaker 3>the podcast that talked about she had a board game,

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:20.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah Chantel, and she was saying that her BOYD game

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 3>is it's not a board game.

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.240
<v Speaker 2>What is it? It's like a cardget it's in that category.

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.200
<v Speaker 3>So long story short, she was like she couldn't she

0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:28.359
<v Speaker 3>couldn't afford to make it in America because the price

0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.399
<v Speaker 3>is so much more compared to China. It's almost like

0:19:31.800 --> 0:19:34.040
<v Speaker 3>it's a no brainer. Like if she made it in America,

0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:36.080
<v Speaker 3>the price that she would have to charge people would

0:19:36.080 --> 0:19:38.440
<v Speaker 3>be way more than people be willing to pay for it.

0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:41.400
<v Speaker 3>So she's like, she has no real option but to make.

0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:42.280
<v Speaker 2>It in China.

0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.840
<v Speaker 7>Exactly, Bro, Like my board game, the company down in

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 7>Vegas initially quoted me at like five dollars, and in

0:19:48.520 --> 0:19:50.080
<v Speaker 7>a day that we got ready to send the wire,

0:19:50.119 --> 0:19:51.960
<v Speaker 7>that price went up to fifty six dollars.

0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:56.119
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, bro, like fifty six dollars can get dangerous.

0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:57.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, but just on that real quick. Bro.

0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:01.359
<v Speaker 7>My project manager actually and then visited that company after they

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.000
<v Speaker 7>switched that price on me, And what he told me

0:20:03.080 --> 0:20:04.920
<v Speaker 7>is that they did their research, they saw how much

0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.560
<v Speaker 7>I was selling it for, and then they decided it

0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:09.520
<v Speaker 7>was a good idea to try to price galage at.

0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:10.119
<v Speaker 6>The last minute.

0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:13.800
<v Speaker 7>But just manufacturer, and I mean, I'm sure I'll know that, Bro,

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.399
<v Speaker 7>But manufacturer in America period can get a little shaky

0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:19.240
<v Speaker 7>because y'all know, like, we don't have the resources in

0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:21.960
<v Speaker 7>abundance like China does. Bro, I don't know what we're

0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.639
<v Speaker 7>trying to be finding and stuff and how they like

0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:27.680
<v Speaker 7>it's like, yeah, you need one hundred thousand games, no problem.

0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:29.840
<v Speaker 7>They just snatched it down from somewhere, whip it up

0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 7>and get across the water.

0:20:31.720 --> 0:20:33.440
<v Speaker 3>So what was your first let me go back a

0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:36.840
<v Speaker 3>little bit, so what was your first endeavor as an entrepreneur? Like,

0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 3>all right, when you quit Corporate America, you got your

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:42.040
<v Speaker 3>your face tatted up, you said, I'm doing full time

0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:42.880
<v Speaker 3>entrepreneur thing.

0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:45.359
<v Speaker 4>What was the first like, what was the first thing.

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:45.720
<v Speaker 2>That you did?

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:46.680
<v Speaker 6>I brought.

0:20:46.720 --> 0:20:50.280
<v Speaker 7>The first thing I did was I started the retail business.

0:20:50.359 --> 0:20:54.360
<v Speaker 7>I was selling screenprint T shirts and screenprint T shirts.

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:56.200
<v Speaker 7>I had a young lady I was messing with her.

0:20:56.240 --> 0:20:59.960
<v Speaker 7>Aunt was plugged in at foot Action Jordan Brandon Nike.

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 7>So what I was doing back then is the line

0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.439
<v Speaker 7>was called Mellionaire Bound. I would make T shirts that

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.480
<v Speaker 7>coincided with the colorway or whatever Jordan was coming, and

0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.720
<v Speaker 7>then basically just boke up the price.

0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.320
<v Speaker 6>So feel me, I'm I'm.

0:21:13.160 --> 0:21:15.119
<v Speaker 7>Gonna sell you a pair of patent level elevens for

0:21:15.160 --> 0:21:17.760
<v Speaker 7>three fifty. That's gonna offset the price of the shirt.

0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:19.560
<v Speaker 7>And then I'm still gonna hit you for an extra

0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:20.560
<v Speaker 7>buck twenty five.

0:21:20.440 --> 0:21:21.040
<v Speaker 6>On the shoe.

0:21:21.280 --> 0:21:23.840
<v Speaker 7>Then she gonna hit it with that thirty percent employee discount.

0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:26.560
<v Speaker 7>So you know we're coming up like two.

0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:28.920
<v Speaker 2>I know a few things about that.

0:21:32.680 --> 0:21:34.720
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, bro, that that was my initial business, and I

0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:36.440
<v Speaker 7>took your bread from that. I did that from twenty

0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.040
<v Speaker 7>twelve to twenty sixteen. I took the bread from that.

0:21:39.119 --> 0:21:41.679
<v Speaker 7>I invested fully in literature and I left that business

0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 7>alone and full time started writing curriculums, books things of

0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:45.560
<v Speaker 7>that nature.

0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:48.720
<v Speaker 5>So God amongst men, is that the first book or

0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:49.480
<v Speaker 5>is that the second book?

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:50.640
<v Speaker 6>That's my second book.

0:21:50.680 --> 0:21:53.480
<v Speaker 7>My first book is called It's a seven hundred page autobiography.

0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:55.360
<v Speaker 6>It's called Thank God we don't look like what we've

0:21:55.400 --> 0:21:55.840
<v Speaker 6>been through.

0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:56.880
<v Speaker 2>Bro.

0:21:56.960 --> 0:21:57.719
<v Speaker 6>That book bombed.

0:21:57.760 --> 0:21:59.879
<v Speaker 7>I spent like my last five hundred GAG copies and

0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:03.640
<v Speaker 7>sold like twenty seven copies in two years, and then

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:06.840
<v Speaker 7>my second book went number one, Bro, and then nothing

0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:07.720
<v Speaker 7>was the same after that.

0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:08.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:11.679
<v Speaker 5>I know that Nip is a huge influence in your

0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:14.880
<v Speaker 5>life and obviously ours as well. He's the only person

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:17.760
<v Speaker 5>we followed, and we were sure that our lines were

0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:19.720
<v Speaker 5>going to cross based on the work that we were doing.

0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:21.040
<v Speaker 2>But the book Contagious.

0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:24.240
<v Speaker 5>You read that and it kind of set how you

0:22:24.240 --> 0:22:25.480
<v Speaker 5>were going to price your book, right.

0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:28.000
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, for sure. So Nip did an interview.

0:22:28.600 --> 0:22:32.160
<v Speaker 7>They had to be like five six years ago. Yeah, yeah,

0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:34.840
<v Speaker 7>right around five six years ago. And no, I think

0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:37.280
<v Speaker 7>five years because I wrote the next but yea yeah,

0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:39.600
<v Speaker 7>but he talked about that cheese steak, Bro, And I'm

0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:41.600
<v Speaker 7>not gonna lie. Never finished the whole book, if I'm

0:22:41.640 --> 0:22:43.960
<v Speaker 7>not mistaken. I read it like page seventy nine and

0:22:44.000 --> 0:22:47.560
<v Speaker 7>I was like, I got it, and Bro, one thing

0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 7>Nip taught me. He was doing the video one day

0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:52.760
<v Speaker 7>with somebody and he was like, I do boutique pricing

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.040
<v Speaker 7>and they was like, what is that? And he was like, basically,

0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:57.800
<v Speaker 7>I developed my price points. We're not looking at the

0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:01.400
<v Speaker 7>market of gauging our value based on what the market says.

0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:03.439
<v Speaker 7>We're gonna put our stuff out there for what we

0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:05.760
<v Speaker 7>feel like is worth. And that spoke to me.

0:23:05.800 --> 0:23:05.960
<v Speaker 6>Bro.

0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:08.600
<v Speaker 7>Ever since then, I was like, uh huh, so whatever

0:23:08.600 --> 0:23:10.439
<v Speaker 7>I wake up feeling like to borrow, this is what

0:23:10.480 --> 0:23:11.040
<v Speaker 7>you'll about to.

0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 3>It got you the number one you know, that's right

0:23:16.840 --> 0:23:19.000
<v Speaker 3>fat and people might not know what the continuent. So

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.520
<v Speaker 3>that's what a hundred dollars Philly cheese steaks. That's when

0:23:21.600 --> 0:23:23.840
<v Speaker 3>Nip had one hundred dollars mixtape and he said that

0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:26.760
<v Speaker 3>he got that. So it's interesting because it's like a

0:23:26.800 --> 0:23:29.240
<v Speaker 3>ripple effect. Knowledge is a ripple effect. So Nip got

0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 3>inspired from that book with the book, got inspired from

0:23:33.560 --> 0:23:36.320
<v Speaker 3>the cheese steak, which inspired the book, which inspired it,

0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:40.160
<v Speaker 3>which inspired you. Right now, you might inspire somebody else,

0:23:40.240 --> 0:23:41.439
<v Speaker 3>like you know what I'm saying. So it's like a

0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:43.200
<v Speaker 3>domino effect. You never know who's going to touch it.

0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:44.360
<v Speaker 2>He sold less units, but you.

0:23:44.320 --> 0:23:46.280
<v Speaker 6>Made more money, absolutely, bro.

0:23:46.359 --> 0:23:49.359
<v Speaker 7>And then like so like initially my first book was

0:23:49.359 --> 0:23:52.520
<v Speaker 7>released on Amazon. But then I was like just following

0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:55.600
<v Speaker 7>it blueprint, I snatched all my stuff off Amazon. I'll

0:23:55.600 --> 0:23:57.720
<v Speaker 7>stopped print. I ISB and numbers on my book. So

0:23:57.760 --> 0:23:59.959
<v Speaker 7>you you like, if you ain't getting a book from there,

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:02.600
<v Speaker 7>Grace two dot com, you ain't getting it. So basically, bro,

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:05.720
<v Speaker 7>like I cut out the opportunity for anybody to even get.

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:06.320
<v Speaker 6>It from anywhere.

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:09.360
<v Speaker 7>And then we went like, so basically, Bro, I took

0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:12.200
<v Speaker 7>that number one selling piece of paper I got from Amazon,

0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:14.840
<v Speaker 7>and then I just leveraged it in the independent world

0:24:14.880 --> 0:24:16.639
<v Speaker 7>and it added way more value. They was like, oh,

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:19.000
<v Speaker 7>here number one selling author in here independent and then

0:24:19.560 --> 0:24:21.080
<v Speaker 7>you know, next thing we know that I know that

0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:23.560
<v Speaker 7>book in itself real easily at like fifty sixty thousand

0:24:23.640 --> 0:24:26.159
<v Speaker 7>units sold independently by itself, not including none of the

0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:27.000
<v Speaker 7>other books around it.

0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:30.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's interesting because now everybody's got their own philosophy.

0:24:30.560 --> 0:24:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Like we interviewed ash Cash out to him and he's

0:24:32.800 --> 0:24:36.680
<v Speaker 3>an author. He was saying, that's all right, yeah, good guy.

0:24:36.840 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 3>So he was like he does the Amazon route where

0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 3>because his thing is like he didn't want to have

0:24:40.640 --> 0:24:43.000
<v Speaker 3>too many books and then they don't sell. But the

0:24:43.000 --> 0:24:44.160
<v Speaker 3>thing with Amazon, they take.

0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:46.359
<v Speaker 6>Forty.

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 8>Bro.

0:24:46.640 --> 0:24:49.640
<v Speaker 6>That's why I left. They Bro. They were Amazon Like,

0:24:49.680 --> 0:24:50.159
<v Speaker 6>look when.

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 7>They were taking their money after I shipped the book.

0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:54.480
<v Speaker 7>We was like they was making like eighty seven.

0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 6>More cent than me. And I'm like, oh no, this, no,

0:24:57.200 --> 0:24:59.399
<v Speaker 6>this is backwards. Nah, And I got up out of it. Bro.

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 6>As soon as I number one, I was going, I

0:25:01.160 --> 0:25:01.520
<v Speaker 6>was like, you.

0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:04.240
<v Speaker 7>Know what, if I could build my following like a

0:25:04.400 --> 0:25:07.320
<v Speaker 7>tenth or fifth of what Amazon working with, I'm gonna

0:25:07.320 --> 0:25:08.960
<v Speaker 7>be at me in that easily because I know how

0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:11.160
<v Speaker 7>to sell my own stuff. And I took that route

0:25:11.280 --> 0:25:12.680
<v Speaker 7>and I just I've been going ever since.

0:25:12.720 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 8>Now.

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:16.080
<v Speaker 7>One thing I still do with Amazon rod is my digitals,

0:25:16.119 --> 0:25:18.560
<v Speaker 7>so like it do feel good to come home when

0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:20.160
<v Speaker 7>you've been on the road and you got a couple

0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:23.200
<v Speaker 7>of royalty checks in there. But in terms of physical

0:25:23.240 --> 0:25:25.920
<v Speaker 7>and everything, I don't let them sell it at all.

0:25:26.000 --> 0:25:28.160
<v Speaker 7>And like I tell people this all the time, there's

0:25:28.200 --> 0:25:30.479
<v Speaker 7>not one human who can quote me and say I

0:25:30.520 --> 0:25:33.080
<v Speaker 7>saw you say by your digital off Amazon, because I

0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:35.320
<v Speaker 7>don't even promote it. But the fact that the name

0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:38.959
<v Speaker 7>is so relevant people just stumble across it monthly and

0:25:39.000 --> 0:25:42.560
<v Speaker 7>go buy it anyway. So I get my independent money

0:25:42.560 --> 0:25:44.280
<v Speaker 7>and then I get my royalty check from them and

0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:45.359
<v Speaker 7>it worked out.

0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:47.560
<v Speaker 3>So in the next second we're going to talk about

0:25:47.600 --> 0:25:50.560
<v Speaker 3>some other things that I saw that's interesting as far

0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:53.399
<v Speaker 3>as on the technical side with different financial literacy. But

0:25:53.440 --> 0:25:55.159
<v Speaker 3>before we go, I wanted to ask you about marketing.

0:25:55.600 --> 0:25:59.399
<v Speaker 3>So I know it's your name Derek Grace two. Is

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:01.359
<v Speaker 3>that your real name or is that just like a

0:26:01.400 --> 0:26:03.520
<v Speaker 3>play like instead of the second or Junie.

0:26:03.440 --> 0:26:05.159
<v Speaker 6>I'm grad is the second, but I put it, I

0:26:05.160 --> 0:26:06.679
<v Speaker 6>put the t w okay.

0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:08.920
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, So, like your marketing is interesting because I

0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 3>peep everything. So you wear a lot of jewelry obviously

0:26:13.119 --> 0:26:19.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, a lot of tattoos, the heavy artillery. So yeah,

0:26:19.800 --> 0:26:21.720
<v Speaker 3>so is that is that? Is that all part of

0:26:22.240 --> 0:26:23.840
<v Speaker 3>your marketing? Is that just who you are as a

0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:25.760
<v Speaker 3>person or is it like just kind of like want

0:26:25.760 --> 0:26:30.800
<v Speaker 3>to separate yourself from being a regular you know personal that's.

0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:33.200
<v Speaker 7>Bro, That's a great question. Bro, It's a mixture of boats,

0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 7>because that is me every day.

0:26:34.640 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 6>Now.

0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:37.320
<v Speaker 7>I will say this, bro, just just because I'm on

0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:40.040
<v Speaker 7>Earn Lesion, I got to nip piece on and I

0:26:40.040 --> 0:26:44.280
<v Speaker 7>got one of you one of my circle pieces. Honestly,

0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:46.240
<v Speaker 7>I don't wear pieces no more. I wear like six

0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:48.280
<v Speaker 7>cubans and I just leave it at that. But normal,

0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:51.399
<v Speaker 7>all my pieces put up in the safe. The guns, Bro,

0:26:51.480 --> 0:26:54.120
<v Speaker 7>That's naturally to me. I've always loved guns. I've been

0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:56.680
<v Speaker 7>a collector since I was like, I mean before it

0:26:56.760 --> 0:26:58.479
<v Speaker 7>even I legal age, before I was supposed to have one,

0:26:58.520 --> 0:27:03.480
<v Speaker 7>I was collecting. So no, Bro, But now as far

0:27:03.520 --> 0:27:06.520
<v Speaker 7>as showing it intentionally, one thousand percent is marketing.

0:27:06.600 --> 0:27:08.119
<v Speaker 6>So like Bro, it's you know, it's.

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:10.040
<v Speaker 7>Small minute things that count, Like when you do your

0:27:10.080 --> 0:27:13.200
<v Speaker 7>still image on your video, sometimes it helps to show

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:15.840
<v Speaker 7>a double barrel ar AR fifteen because that's not something

0:27:15.880 --> 0:27:18.439
<v Speaker 7>you can find everywhere, and it's gonna grab people attention

0:27:18.480 --> 0:27:19.920
<v Speaker 7>and they're gonna stop and watch the video.

0:27:20.240 --> 0:27:22.800
<v Speaker 2>Eight eighty thousand gonna not to come close.

0:27:24.600 --> 0:27:28.359

<v Speaker 3>goal is an investment, and you kind of broke that

0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:49.680
<v Speaker 3>down a little bit. You want to talk about that

0:28:49.720 --> 0:28:51.480
<v Speaker 3>a little bit, like it's not just for show, it's

0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:53.840
<v Speaker 3>actually you know, yeah.

0:28:53.640 --> 0:28:56.280
<v Speaker 7>Bro, So what I call it ratchet investing, meaning like

0:28:57.000 --> 0:28:59.920
<v Speaker 7>we we buy it for the love of the shop,

0:29:00.680 --> 0:29:03.520
<v Speaker 7>but subconsciously we also remember we're gonna we're gonna purchase

0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:05.600
<v Speaker 7>it a certain way to make sure that it retains

0:29:05.640 --> 0:29:08.480
<v Speaker 7>its value or it grows its value. So y'alli never

0:29:08.520 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 7>seen me with too many iceed out pieces. I did

0:29:11.440 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 7>that one time with Johnny Dang. I got an iced

0:29:13.320 --> 0:29:15.480
<v Speaker 7>out on learned and relearned piece to represent the brand.

0:29:15.480 --> 0:29:17.520
<v Speaker 7>But other than that, Bro, I tried to stick to

0:29:17.560 --> 0:29:18.760
<v Speaker 7>nothing but solid goal.

0:29:19.120 --> 0:29:20.200
<v Speaker 2>But uh and.

0:29:20.160 --> 0:29:22.400
<v Speaker 7>Bro speaking on that Nip Nip the one who taught

0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:23.600
<v Speaker 7>me that Nip had a line.

0:29:23.640 --> 0:29:25.120
<v Speaker 6>Bro, this had to be almost ten years ago.

0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 7>He was like, watch the value of the dollar dropping,

0:29:27.720 --> 0:29:29.920
<v Speaker 7>gold explode And I remember when he said that, Bro,

0:29:30.720 --> 0:29:32.160
<v Speaker 7>it hit me but I ain't get it.

0:29:32.080 --> 0:29:33.880
<v Speaker 6>But I was like, what do he gold explode?

0:29:34.280 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 7>And then I saw him further going to detailing the

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:38.440
<v Speaker 7>interview about it, and he was just like yeah, he

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:41.840
<v Speaker 7>expressed why he does so many kilos. Even to the

0:29:41.880 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 7>all money in pieces, it's typically a block of gold.

0:29:45.840 --> 0:29:47.480
<v Speaker 7>He sprinkled a couple of diamonds on it and a

0:29:47.520 --> 0:29:49.680
<v Speaker 7>dollar sign, but other than that, it was solid gold.

0:29:50.160 --> 0:29:53.560
<v Speaker 7>So Bro like, he's totally been the inspiration. That's to

0:29:53.560 --> 0:29:55.680
<v Speaker 7>why I even buy my juredy way I do because

0:29:56.000 --> 0:29:58.560
<v Speaker 7>when Bro planted that seed, I started researching. I was like,

0:29:58.640 --> 0:30:01.720
<v Speaker 7>oh okay, and and really it looks cool, but it's

0:30:01.720 --> 0:30:04.479
<v Speaker 7>not really the business to flood your pieces with all

0:30:04.520 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 7>them diamonds because you're eating up your goal weight for

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:09.120
<v Speaker 7>that diamond weight, and your diamonds ain't really worth that.

0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:11.160
<v Speaker 7>I know, Bro, Most dudes I know it in pieces

0:30:11.160 --> 0:30:11.600
<v Speaker 7>don't even know.

0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:13.120
<v Speaker 6>How to use a loop. You feel me.

0:30:13.120 --> 0:30:15.400
<v Speaker 7>They just buy the diamonds for the look, and in

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:17.080
<v Speaker 7>a year later you'll be like, yeah, Bro, your chain

0:30:17.160 --> 0:30:18.640
<v Speaker 7>worth like a fourth or what it was worth.

0:30:19.080 --> 0:30:19.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, we talked about it.

0:30:19.960 --> 0:30:23.520
<v Speaker 3>We did an episode with a jeweler and he was

0:30:23.560 --> 0:30:26.160
<v Speaker 3>he was saying that as far as like with the watches,

0:30:26.680 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 3>how like a bust down is really you're destroying it

0:30:30.440 --> 0:30:33.160
<v Speaker 3>and it's like a plain chain which no diamond He know,

0:30:33.280 --> 0:30:34.720
<v Speaker 3>you buy a rolex, you gotta buy it with no

0:30:34.800 --> 0:30:37.480
<v Speaker 3>diamonds because like, once you start to drill and put

0:30:37.520 --> 0:30:41.760
<v Speaker 3>diamonds inside of it, you really really equality the whole

0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:44.080
<v Speaker 3>situation and it it lowers the value. And he was like,

0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:47.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, like just a pure gold rolex is an

0:30:47.360 --> 0:30:49.240
<v Speaker 3>investment goes up over time. But if you start to

0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:52.560
<v Speaker 3>put diamonds in it on street has street value. It's

0:30:52.560 --> 0:30:55.719
<v Speaker 3>like people like if what in the real world, Because

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:58.440
<v Speaker 3>that's another thing too, Diamonds don't really have the same

0:30:58.560 --> 0:31:01.960
<v Speaker 3>value diamonds. Value is used off of just people that

0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:04.160
<v Speaker 3>just like diamonds, But gold has real value.

0:31:04.400 --> 0:31:08.080
<v Speaker 7>Like gold straight up, it's a commodity, just like the dollar.

0:31:08.160 --> 0:31:10.280
<v Speaker 7>Like people don't begin like y'all know the dollar only

0:31:10.320 --> 0:31:13.000
<v Speaker 7>popping because we kind of say is popping. But at

0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:15.239
<v Speaker 7>some day they may just wake up and be like, Hey,

0:31:15.240 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 7>I don't want that piece of paper no more. I'm

0:31:16.640 --> 0:31:18.040
<v Speaker 7>gonna use something else to buy stuff with.

0:31:18.160 --> 0:31:19.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, somebody told us that. It was like, Yo, how

0:31:19.920 --> 0:31:21.800
<v Speaker 5>can you quip value to something if you can always

0:31:21.840 --> 0:31:22.400
<v Speaker 5>make more of it?

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:24.840
<v Speaker 2>Right? Like if I could always print more doesn't really

0:31:24.880 --> 0:31:27.320
<v Speaker 2>have value, so we think like that.

0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, all right, So yeah, we're gonna jump into the

0:31:31.000 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 3>next segment and we're gonna get into some some some

0:31:33.440 --> 0:31:34.160
<v Speaker 3>nitty grittyes.

0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:34.880
<v Speaker 4>All right.

0:31:34.920 --> 0:31:36.440
<v Speaker 3>So one thing I wanted to ask you that I

0:31:37.000 --> 0:31:41.760
<v Speaker 3>saw you speak about, and it's actually really interesting. If

0:31:41.800 --> 0:31:43.320
<v Speaker 3>anybody that knows me, they know, like I have a

0:31:43.320 --> 0:31:46.480
<v Speaker 3>background in insurance. So when you said something about like

0:31:47.120 --> 0:31:50.320
<v Speaker 3>having younger people in the family buy insurance on like

0:31:50.360 --> 0:31:53.200
<v Speaker 3>the oldest person in the or elder in the family,

0:31:53.320 --> 0:31:57.320
<v Speaker 3>and that's interesting philosophy that I see other cultures have used,

0:31:57.640 --> 0:31:59.800
<v Speaker 3>and it's it's strategic planning when it comes to life.

0:31:59.840 --> 0:32:02.280
<v Speaker 3>And so can you talk about that a little bit?

0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:04.680
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, yeah, bro, So it's crazy, right.

0:32:06.000 --> 0:32:08.760
<v Speaker 7>I was in Dallas like two three years ago kicking

0:32:08.760 --> 0:32:10.280
<v Speaker 7>it with this dude at one of my events and

0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:12.040
<v Speaker 7>he put me on game and he was like, Bro,

0:32:12.800 --> 0:32:16.120
<v Speaker 7>the culture gotta start gathering up the grandchildren and they

0:32:16.200 --> 0:32:18.320
<v Speaker 7>opening up million dollar policies on grandma.

0:32:18.880 --> 0:32:20.560
<v Speaker 6>And he was like, granted, grandma kind.

0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:22.800
<v Speaker 7>Of old, so it may be expensive, but if we're

0:32:22.800 --> 0:32:25.480
<v Speaker 7>splitting it eight ways, then you know what's the big deal?

0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:26.640
<v Speaker 6>Like that's joy and money.

0:32:26.640 --> 0:32:29.120
<v Speaker 7>That's people spend out on marijuana, like people spend that

0:32:29.240 --> 0:32:32.880
<v Speaker 7>on anything. You feel me, So, if Grandma policy two

0:32:32.920 --> 0:32:36.080
<v Speaker 7>thousand dollars and we gotta break bread at, you know

0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:38.960
<v Speaker 7>what's what's if it's ten of us and we got

0:32:39.080 --> 0:32:41.880
<v Speaker 7>to spend two hundred dollars a month, Bro, we shouldn't

0:32:41.880 --> 0:32:43.800
<v Speaker 7>to my personal opinion, we shouldn't batter eye at that

0:32:43.840 --> 0:32:46.120
<v Speaker 7>type of expense because when Grandma leave here, and again

0:32:46.800 --> 0:32:48.840
<v Speaker 7>we're not banking on Grandma dying. We're not hoping she

0:32:48.960 --> 0:32:51.560
<v Speaker 7>leave tomorrow, but life is life, and we know she's

0:32:51.560 --> 0:32:54.240
<v Speaker 7>gonna transition at some point. To me, Bro, that's that's

0:32:54.280 --> 0:32:56.920
<v Speaker 7>one of the ways we can instantly acquire generational wealth.

0:32:56.960 --> 0:32:58.880
<v Speaker 7>Like it ain't a lot of people at twenty five,

0:32:58.880 --> 0:33:00.680
<v Speaker 7>I could be like, yeah, man, I just got hit

0:33:00.720 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 7>with the court with a quarter million. I gotta find

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:04.640
<v Speaker 7>something to do with it. Like most of us have

0:33:04.720 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 7>to grind a long time where we never even get

0:33:06.920 --> 0:33:09.480
<v Speaker 7>to the point where we see that type of bread. So, Bro,

0:33:09.560 --> 0:33:11.840
<v Speaker 7>I definitely feel like more of our culture gotta start

0:33:11.880 --> 0:33:12.880
<v Speaker 7>investing in that manner.

0:33:13.160 --> 0:33:15.240
<v Speaker 6>And Bro, that's why I be so big on people getting.

0:33:14.960 --> 0:33:18.800
<v Speaker 7>Their family affairs and family affairs in order, like who's

0:33:18.840 --> 0:33:21.640
<v Speaker 7>the CEO of the family, who the spokesperson, who's the aggressor,

0:33:21.640 --> 0:33:25.200
<v Speaker 7>who's passive, who's the negotiator. So I think like that's

0:33:25.200 --> 0:33:28.200
<v Speaker 7>the part of people structuring their systems. And like one

0:33:28.240 --> 0:33:30.600
<v Speaker 7>of the things my bro key nineteen keys always tell

0:33:30.640 --> 0:33:34.120
<v Speaker 7>me is like the universe is ran by families. So

0:33:34.160 --> 0:33:36.040
<v Speaker 7>if you're not in the business or structure in yours,

0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 7>so y'all could get in the race, to get in

0:33:37.520 --> 0:33:39.840
<v Speaker 7>the fight and try to gain some ground. You know,

0:33:39.920 --> 0:33:42.120
<v Speaker 7>the struggle gonna be a lot harder as a one

0:33:42.160 --> 0:33:44.680
<v Speaker 7>man recon crew trying to you're trying to go to

0:33:44.760 --> 0:33:47.600
<v Speaker 7>war with the walkmans in your business idea, Man, Walmart

0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:49.600
<v Speaker 7>got things sold up, bro you're gonna need a squad behind.

0:33:49.640 --> 0:33:53.080
<v Speaker 5>They number six, seven, eight, and nine on the healthiest

0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:53.760
<v Speaker 5>people in the world.

0:33:54.040 --> 0:33:58.560
<v Speaker 3>Fact, that's not that you're right on that. You're absolutely

0:33:58.600 --> 0:33:59.880
<v Speaker 3>right on that. And like I said, I've seen it

0:33:59.880 --> 0:34:02.160
<v Speaker 3>from his hand actually being in the industry, other people

0:34:02.240 --> 0:34:04.280
<v Speaker 3>have done that. I actually have clients that have done

0:34:04.320 --> 0:34:06.720
<v Speaker 3>that on it. Like I think like like it was

0:34:06.760 --> 0:34:10.360
<v Speaker 3>like five children brought insurance policy and the mother was

0:34:10.400 --> 0:34:13.040
<v Speaker 3>like sixty five or something like that. Seventy and that's

0:34:13.040 --> 0:34:15.200
<v Speaker 3>what they're doing. And like you said, it's not it's

0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:18.480
<v Speaker 3>not like you don't you don't you hopefully everybody's gonna die, right.

0:34:18.480 --> 0:34:20.120
<v Speaker 3>That's another thing I think with black people specifically, we

0:34:20.120 --> 0:34:21.840
<v Speaker 3>got to get out of the spookiness where it's like,

0:34:22.960 --> 0:34:25.279
<v Speaker 3>you know, don't talk about death, Like, no, you got

0:34:25.280 --> 0:34:26.560
<v Speaker 3>to talk about it. You got to plan for it

0:34:26.560 --> 0:34:28.759
<v Speaker 3>because it's going to happen. Like if you don't, if

0:34:28.760 --> 0:34:31.000
<v Speaker 3>you don't prepare, you're still going to die. It's not

0:34:31.040 --> 0:34:34.600
<v Speaker 3>like you're not gonna die if you don't prepare for it, bro.

0:34:35.000 --> 0:34:36.880
<v Speaker 7>And the crazy thing is something to really be functioning

0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:38.840
<v Speaker 7>like that, like man, I'm just gonna avoid the conversation

0:34:39.719 --> 0:34:42.080
<v Speaker 7>happen Like yeah, they're going to transition, so.

0:34:42.360 --> 0:34:44.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but when they do that, then now it's like

0:34:44.880 --> 0:34:47.319
<v Speaker 5>the Gofunmi round you know what I'm saying, And it's like, Yo,

0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:48.359
<v Speaker 5>was it really worth out?

0:34:48.440 --> 0:34:48.640
<v Speaker 8>Yeah?

0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:51.040
<v Speaker 7>Strategic and then bro, just with that real quick, I

0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:53.600
<v Speaker 7>tell people at the time, like, think about how dangerous

0:34:53.640 --> 0:34:55.440
<v Speaker 7>we are when we not prepare and we figure out

0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:57.360
<v Speaker 7>how to bury one of the homies for seven grand

0:34:57.400 --> 0:34:58.160
<v Speaker 7>with a fish fry.

0:34:58.680 --> 0:34:58.839
<v Speaker 6>Bro.

0:34:58.960 --> 0:35:01.400
<v Speaker 7>If people developed that hustle and that mentality on a

0:35:01.400 --> 0:35:02.320
<v Speaker 7>consistent basis.

0:35:02.640 --> 0:35:03.600
<v Speaker 6>Now we're talking about.

0:35:03.400 --> 0:35:06.080
<v Speaker 7>The neighborhood being able to net fifteen grand a month

0:35:06.080 --> 0:35:07.920
<v Speaker 7>because they they'll fit. Bro, when the one of the

0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:09.560
<v Speaker 7>homies out, they feel they'll find a way to get

0:35:09.560 --> 0:35:13.080
<v Speaker 7>seven grand in ten days. But Bro, if they really

0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:15.160
<v Speaker 7>redirected that hustle and was like, we're gonna make this

0:35:15.200 --> 0:35:18.560
<v Speaker 7>the blueprint, then now we're talking about the hood being

0:35:18.640 --> 0:35:21.160
<v Speaker 7>like a quarter million dollar hood on an annual basis.

0:35:21.160 --> 0:35:23.839
<v Speaker 6>But Bro, that's one of the biggest things I learned

0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:24.520
<v Speaker 6>with people.

0:35:24.280 --> 0:35:27.399
<v Speaker 7>Being they just reactive and it's like they don't really

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:29.799
<v Speaker 7>understand life until life be like, hey, I'm here, I'm

0:35:29.840 --> 0:35:31.600
<v Speaker 7>here to collect you. Then it's like, oh wait, I

0:35:31.640 --> 0:35:33.480
<v Speaker 7>don't want to No, let me get No, it's time

0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:34.040
<v Speaker 7>to go, let's go.

0:35:34.760 --> 0:35:37.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it goes into into like some of the things

0:35:37.680 --> 0:35:42.600
<v Speaker 5>you've been teaching in that unlearned and relearn movement. You know,

0:35:42.840 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 5>we've been taught things that just aren't correct. Man, So

0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:48.040
<v Speaker 5>can you get into that? What was your motivation behind that?

0:35:48.520 --> 0:35:48.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

0:35:48.800 --> 0:35:49.279
<v Speaker 6>For sure, Bro.

0:35:49.360 --> 0:35:52.920
<v Speaker 7>So Bro, I started homeschooling. How old my son is

0:35:52.920 --> 0:35:53.319
<v Speaker 7>going to be?

0:35:53.320 --> 0:35:54.800
<v Speaker 6>Twelve? In August? He was seven.

0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:57.239
<v Speaker 7>Bro, So I started homeschooling five years ago, and that's

0:35:57.239 --> 0:36:00.000
<v Speaker 7>when we came up with the concept on learning, relearn

0:36:00.200 --> 0:36:03.120
<v Speaker 7>and basically BRO in the nutshell, it's just us whitewashing

0:36:03.160 --> 0:36:06.319
<v Speaker 7>out the bulk of the things we've been taught because

0:36:06.320 --> 0:36:08.600
<v Speaker 7>the both of those things are based off traditionalism. And

0:36:08.640 --> 0:36:10.600
<v Speaker 7>if we're really gonna if we're really gonna check the

0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:13.239
<v Speaker 7>source of the information, most of them are not living

0:36:13.280 --> 0:36:15.120
<v Speaker 7>their best lives. That's why I her time, like check

0:36:15.160 --> 0:36:17.160
<v Speaker 7>the source for me. Bro, Like, I don't speak on

0:36:17.160 --> 0:36:19.239
<v Speaker 7>nothing I'm not educated on. I only like to teach

0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:22.040
<v Speaker 7>on my level of expertise. That's why, like, I haven't

0:36:22.040 --> 0:36:23.800
<v Speaker 7>started teaching them. I done lost ten pounds in the

0:36:23.880 --> 0:36:26.120
<v Speaker 7>last two months, but I ain't teaching nobody about health

0:36:26.160 --> 0:36:28.120
<v Speaker 7>and wellness because I don't know my lady be helping

0:36:28.120 --> 0:36:28.719
<v Speaker 7>me lose.

0:36:28.520 --> 0:36:29.600
<v Speaker 6>Weight, out't know whatever doing.

0:36:29.680 --> 0:36:31.960
<v Speaker 7>She'd just be going drinks down my throat and telling

0:36:32.000 --> 0:36:35.400
<v Speaker 7>me ride my box. But Bro, for me, that's what

0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:38.400
<v Speaker 7>I underline was like, man, let's double back and start questioning,

0:36:38.640 --> 0:36:40.359
<v Speaker 7>you know, the vocal the things that we've been taught.

0:36:40.360 --> 0:36:42.440
<v Speaker 7>Because if we looking at our ancestors down to our

0:36:42.480 --> 0:36:46.000
<v Speaker 7>great grandmas, these systems and these distractions not working. We

0:36:46.719 --> 0:36:49.680
<v Speaker 7>four generation poverty soldiers. So something ain't working. We gotta

0:36:49.719 --> 0:36:50.560
<v Speaker 7>we gotta redo it.

0:36:51.520 --> 0:36:53.840
<v Speaker 3>No, that's a fact. Another thing you talk about a

0:36:53.880 --> 0:36:58.319
<v Speaker 3>few times. I saw trust, like not trusting each other,

0:36:58.400 --> 0:36:59.800
<v Speaker 3>but like trust, like the legal trust.

0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:03.279

0:37:06.640 --> 0:37:10.480

0:37:14.200 --> 0:37:17.839

0:37:18.320 --> 0:37:21.120

0:39:56.040 --> 0:39:56.920
<v Speaker 6>I know? Growth from me?

0:39:57.719 --> 0:39:59.960
<v Speaker 7>I know I don't want my family fighting approvate core

0:40:00.680 --> 0:40:02.799
<v Speaker 7>and the last thing I want because I'm sure when

0:40:02.800 --> 0:40:05.719
<v Speaker 7>I transition my children and people closer to me, because

0:40:05.760 --> 0:40:07.360
<v Speaker 7>I take care a lot of people, I've hired a

0:40:07.360 --> 0:40:10.000
<v Speaker 7>lot of family, I'm sure a lot of them are

0:40:10.000 --> 0:40:11.520
<v Speaker 7>gonna take that really hard. And the last thing I

0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:13.799
<v Speaker 7>want them to do is be beating each other up

0:40:13.880 --> 0:40:16.560
<v Speaker 7>or pulling guns about what belonged to And then in

0:40:16.600 --> 0:40:19.600
<v Speaker 7>that world so down to my guns, to my jury,

0:40:20.080 --> 0:40:24.520
<v Speaker 7>to my art. Bro, I'm in the midster structure and everything.

0:40:24.600 --> 0:40:27.480
<v Speaker 7>So each of my children know exactly what they get,

0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:30.319
<v Speaker 7>what paintings belonging to them, what guns belonging.

0:40:30.040 --> 0:40:31.400
<v Speaker 6>Them, what jury and everything.

0:40:31.920 --> 0:40:33.560
<v Speaker 7>But yeah, bro, that that's the biggest thing for me

0:40:33.640 --> 0:40:38.680
<v Speaker 7>is I've seen people fight over a will with ten

0:40:38.719 --> 0:40:40.799
<v Speaker 7>grand in it. I can't imagine how they gonna fight

0:40:40.840 --> 0:40:44.000
<v Speaker 7>over twenty businesses and who knows how many millions of

0:40:44.040 --> 0:40:46.920
<v Speaker 7>billions of dollars. So rather than the headache, I just

0:40:46.960 --> 0:40:49.960
<v Speaker 7>want to directly, you know, have my overseer handle that

0:40:50.000 --> 0:40:52.799
<v Speaker 7>dippy everything out and call of the day. Yeah.

0:40:52.960 --> 0:40:55.080
<v Speaker 3>I always like to explain trust to people. It's like

0:40:56.040 --> 0:40:59.360
<v Speaker 3>the will is kind of like, Okay, I want to

0:40:59.400 --> 0:41:02.480
<v Speaker 3>leave my ins to my son. The trust is kind

0:41:02.480 --> 0:41:04.200
<v Speaker 3>of like an instructional booklet where it's like I want

0:41:04.200 --> 0:41:07.320
<v Speaker 3>to leave my Jordans to my son, but he first

0:41:07.440 --> 0:41:11.200
<v Speaker 3>has to complete high school and then he gets like

0:41:11.280 --> 0:41:13.799
<v Speaker 3>one shoe, and then if he's married, they'll get to say,

0:41:13.840 --> 0:41:15.200
<v Speaker 3>you know what I'm saying, like you can actually have

0:41:15.320 --> 0:41:17.120
<v Speaker 3>like step by step, so it's a little bit more.

0:41:17.360 --> 0:41:19.560
<v Speaker 3>And then for a tax purposes, a lot of different

0:41:19.560 --> 0:41:22.040
<v Speaker 3>things you can set trust up for. But the state

0:41:22.080 --> 0:41:24.200
<v Speaker 3>planning is once again, it's not something that we think

0:41:24.239 --> 0:41:28.040
<v Speaker 3>about a lot because i mean, realistically, in our neighborhoods,

0:41:28.040 --> 0:41:31.520
<v Speaker 3>we used to just stay to day, day to day.

0:41:31.560 --> 0:41:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Like you know what I'm saying, You're not thinking about

0:41:33.040 --> 0:41:36.240
<v Speaker 3>a trust in all of these things. This is generation.

0:41:36.360 --> 0:41:38.160
<v Speaker 3>So when we say generational wealth, a lot of times

0:41:38.239 --> 0:41:41.560
<v Speaker 3>it's just it's said, but people don't fully understand what

0:41:41.600 --> 0:41:43.840
<v Speaker 3>that means. It's like they said, like the average American

0:41:44.040 --> 0:41:46.959
<v Speaker 3>company plans for twenty years. The average Chinese company plans

0:41:46.960 --> 0:41:49.840
<v Speaker 3>for three hundred years in the future, so they have

0:41:49.880 --> 0:41:52.959
<v Speaker 3>a yeah, they got a three hundred year plan.

0:41:53.160 --> 0:41:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Like you know what I'm saying, we try and get

0:41:56.120 --> 0:41:57.040
<v Speaker 2>by next week.

0:41:58.560 --> 0:42:01.200
<v Speaker 3>So it's it's like like it shows you, you know

0:42:01.840 --> 0:42:07.440
<v Speaker 3>that that level of thinking we have to think bigger

0:42:07.480 --> 0:42:10.960
<v Speaker 3>than just ourselves today, Like we got to think for

0:42:11.120 --> 0:42:13.080
<v Speaker 3>not only tomorrow and this generation.

0:42:13.200 --> 0:42:14.799
<v Speaker 5>It's tough, you know what I'm saying, because like a

0:42:14.800 --> 0:42:17.799
<v Speaker 5>lot of our communities day in survival mode. So it's

0:42:17.800 --> 0:42:19.560
<v Speaker 5>like we got to learn how to first figure out

0:42:19.560 --> 0:42:22.279
<v Speaker 5>how to survive, then get through that process and then

0:42:22.400 --> 0:42:24.520
<v Speaker 5>and hopefully at the end all this, like you know,

0:42:24.600 --> 0:42:26.960
<v Speaker 5>like this economic empower movement that we you know, we're

0:42:27.040 --> 0:42:29.520
<v Speaker 5>part of and you are too. It's like, now we

0:42:29.560 --> 0:42:31.000
<v Speaker 5>can get to a point where it's like, Yo, it's

0:42:31.000 --> 0:42:32.680
<v Speaker 5>time to thrive. Like we've got the information.

0:42:32.719 --> 0:42:32.880
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:42:32.880 --> 0:42:35.040
<v Speaker 5>That's something that that you stress too, is like, Yo,

0:42:35.239 --> 0:42:37.960
<v Speaker 5>invest in information, investment, information, investment, education.

0:42:38.560 --> 0:42:40.600
<v Speaker 6>You know what I'm saying, Bro, that has taken me

0:42:41.040 --> 0:42:41.480
<v Speaker 6>so far.

0:42:41.600 --> 0:42:45.399
<v Speaker 7>Bro, just investing in information and aligning myself with people

0:42:45.400 --> 0:42:46.720
<v Speaker 7>who know things that I don't.

0:42:46.800 --> 0:42:46.880
<v Speaker 6>Like.

0:42:46.960 --> 0:42:49.399
<v Speaker 7>Bro, y'all know a lot of stuff that I don't.

0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:51.200
<v Speaker 7>I'll be putting your stuff in my stories.

0:42:54.040 --> 0:42:56.360
<v Speaker 6>People don't n Bro, Like I ain't got no certifications,

0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:56.880
<v Speaker 6>no degrees.

0:42:56.960 --> 0:43:00.239
<v Speaker 7>But it's really the people I stand next to and

0:43:00.280 --> 0:43:02.320
<v Speaker 7>the books that I bought that make me super dangerous.

0:43:02.360 --> 0:43:04.560
<v Speaker 7>And the fact that like I like experience, so I'm

0:43:04.560 --> 0:43:06.680
<v Speaker 7>gonna jump out the window before I play it safe.

0:43:06.719 --> 0:43:09.440
<v Speaker 7>That's just my That's just the nature of how I function.

0:43:09.560 --> 0:43:12.279
<v Speaker 7>But Man, BRO, you a thousand percent right about that.

0:43:12.600 --> 0:43:12.759
<v Speaker 6>Yeah.

0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:13.799
<v Speaker 2>I took your quote.

0:43:13.840 --> 0:43:16.399
<v Speaker 5>Man, you said, stop waiting to invest in information until

0:43:16.400 --> 0:43:17.960
<v Speaker 5>it's the only thing left that can save you.

0:43:18.880 --> 0:43:21.640
<v Speaker 7>And Bro, I've seen it in abundance, like, I ain't

0:43:21.640 --> 0:43:24.160
<v Speaker 7>mad at it right, No, Lie, best money business I

0:43:24.239 --> 0:43:26.600
<v Speaker 7>ever had was this past March. I made seven hundred

0:43:26.640 --> 0:43:29.080
<v Speaker 7>and eight thousand dollars strictly retail in thirty days off

0:43:29.200 --> 0:43:33.000
<v Speaker 7>just one of my websites, and Bro, I appreciated the

0:43:33.239 --> 0:43:37.120
<v Speaker 7>overwhelming support, but it still was kind of head scratching,

0:43:37.239 --> 0:43:40.400
<v Speaker 7>like why did they have to take for the pandemic

0:43:40.440 --> 0:43:43.680
<v Speaker 7>to hit for y'all to recognize that the game don't

0:43:43.680 --> 0:43:47.000
<v Speaker 7>really care for us and we're like, we're disposable. And

0:43:47.280 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 7>it's just so many questions I beget from people, and

0:43:49.040 --> 0:43:51.839
<v Speaker 7>I'm like, Bro, they you know, we usually typically start

0:43:51.920 --> 0:43:54.240
<v Speaker 7>history in sixth grade, like you just realized the country

0:43:54.239 --> 0:43:56.040
<v Speaker 7>didn't really care about us like that.

0:43:56.160 --> 0:43:57.200
<v Speaker 6>Or where you've been.

0:43:57.360 --> 0:43:59.000
<v Speaker 7>But I'd be like, you know what, Bro, as long

0:43:59.040 --> 0:44:00.520
<v Speaker 7>as you're getting in now, it's cool.

0:44:01.280 --> 0:44:02.799
<v Speaker 6>Let's let's buckle up, let's ride.

0:44:02.880 --> 0:44:04.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm happy that you then, man, I had plenty of

0:44:04.640 --> 0:44:07.560
<v Speaker 5>conversations over the past couple of weeks, and it's just frustrating.

0:44:07.600 --> 0:44:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, Yo, we just getting here.

0:44:09.040 --> 0:44:10.960
<v Speaker 5>Like Yo, these people have been in place for forty

0:44:10.960 --> 0:44:13.399
<v Speaker 5>five fifty years and they've just seen these things as

0:44:13.400 --> 0:44:13.840
<v Speaker 5>a problem.

0:44:14.239 --> 0:44:15.640
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying, it's crazy.

0:44:15.719 --> 0:44:18.520
<v Speaker 3>It was like Frederick Douglas in his autobiography Great Read,

0:44:18.840 --> 0:44:22.920
<v Speaker 3>he was saying that, you know, like the system of slavery,

0:44:24.120 --> 0:44:26.480
<v Speaker 3>it ran its course pretty much, and it was like

0:44:27.000 --> 0:44:30.680
<v Speaker 3>it became a point where it's actually counterproductive to try

0:44:30.680 --> 0:44:34.000
<v Speaker 3>to make somebody, force somebody to work. But he said,

0:44:34.000 --> 0:44:37.759
<v Speaker 3>like you transitioned it to havn't I'm paraphrasing. You have

0:44:38.320 --> 0:44:42.759
<v Speaker 3>people just working just to get by. Technically there's still

0:44:42.800 --> 0:44:45.800
<v Speaker 3>slaves because it's like you go to work and you're working.

0:44:45.920 --> 0:44:48.560
<v Speaker 3>You're volunt you're not being forced to work, so you're working,

0:44:49.160 --> 0:44:51.759
<v Speaker 3>but you don't really have any money. All your money

0:44:51.840 --> 0:44:54.759
<v Speaker 3>is going to pay bills, so it's coming back to

0:44:54.800 --> 0:44:58.640
<v Speaker 3>them anyway. So now it's like you're on the hamster

0:44:58.680 --> 0:45:02.640
<v Speaker 3>wheel and and that's a way more productive system.

0:45:03.040 --> 0:45:06.000
<v Speaker 4>Then they try to force somebody to work. So that

0:45:06.120 --> 0:45:06.719
<v Speaker 4>was his whole thing.

0:45:06.719 --> 0:45:09.359
<v Speaker 3>And it's interesting because that was over one hundred and

0:45:09.360 --> 0:45:12.799
<v Speaker 3>fifty years ago probably and it's still true to this day. Unfortunately,

0:45:12.840 --> 0:45:16.040
<v Speaker 3>they say the average black home has like two thousand

0:45:16.120 --> 0:45:18.480
<v Speaker 3>dollars or something like that of Networth, So it's like

0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:22.799
<v Speaker 3>you're still yeah, maybe even I think it's less less

0:45:22.800 --> 0:45:26.800
<v Speaker 3>things less. So when we talk about entrepreneurship, group of

0:45:26.800 --> 0:45:31.360
<v Speaker 3>economics and all that stuff, it's like extremely necessary because

0:45:31.480 --> 0:45:34.880
<v Speaker 3>if not, it's like, what kind of life are you

0:45:34.920 --> 0:45:35.439
<v Speaker 3>really living?

0:45:35.520 --> 0:45:38.160
<v Speaker 5>Yeah's trip mill I told you earlier, Like yo, when

0:45:38.200 --> 0:45:39.840
<v Speaker 5>we listened to lyrics, we heard things like when I

0:45:39.880 --> 0:45:42.319
<v Speaker 5>heard Jay say, life's like a treadmill, people running in place,

0:45:42.360 --> 0:45:45.040
<v Speaker 5>getting nowhere fast, a whole year unpassed, Like that's the

0:45:45.080 --> 0:45:46.120
<v Speaker 5>life that you just explain.

0:45:46.200 --> 0:45:48.320
<v Speaker 2>You know what I'm saying. It's crazy, And bro.

0:45:48.239 --> 0:45:49.279
<v Speaker 6>It's funny you said that, right.

0:45:49.560 --> 0:45:52.319
<v Speaker 7>I did an interview I think two days ago, and

0:45:52.400 --> 0:45:54.439
<v Speaker 7>Jay hit that lines like if everybody in your click

0:45:54.520 --> 0:45:55.360
<v Speaker 7>is rich, your click.

0:45:55.200 --> 0:45:57.920
<v Speaker 6>Is rugged, and we lived by that each other's presure

0:45:58.000 --> 0:45:58.600
<v Speaker 6>is like fact.

0:45:58.960 --> 0:46:01.080
<v Speaker 7>I took that line, and I I was like, man,

0:46:01.120 --> 0:46:03.400
<v Speaker 7>when I get some money, I'm putting all my dogs.

0:46:04.160 --> 0:46:05.000
<v Speaker 2>Let's get into that though.

0:46:05.040 --> 0:46:07.160
<v Speaker 5>Let's let's talk about that because I know twenty eighteen,

0:46:07.200 --> 0:46:11.680
<v Speaker 5>you retired your mom, you hired your brothers. How's that

0:46:11.719 --> 0:46:15.920
<v Speaker 5>process been going twenty eighteen, Bro, I retired moms and

0:46:15.960 --> 0:46:17.720
<v Speaker 5>I brung her and it's like a full time nanny.

0:46:17.719 --> 0:46:21.799
<v Speaker 6>I got five children, so she'd be super business. And

0:46:21.840 --> 0:46:23.200
<v Speaker 6>then like two months.

0:46:23.080 --> 0:46:25.800
<v Speaker 7>After that, I brought I got three brothers, one in prison,

0:46:25.840 --> 0:46:29.040
<v Speaker 7>I got two free. I hired both of them. Moving forward,

0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:33.279
<v Speaker 7>me and Pops became business partners. So my popsit is

0:46:33.520 --> 0:46:36.919
<v Speaker 7>retired secret service. We started Grace Private Security. I took

0:46:36.960 --> 0:46:39.759
<v Speaker 7>another page out of nipbook vertical integration. So with Grace

0:46:39.800 --> 0:46:43.520
<v Speaker 7>Private Security, because Pop's retired from secret Service, he basically

0:46:43.560 --> 0:46:45.600
<v Speaker 7>was grandfather in for a lot of those things in

0:46:45.680 --> 0:46:49.000
<v Speaker 7>terms of security, so he basically got to expect the process.

0:46:49.280 --> 0:46:51.560
<v Speaker 6>So even with a vertical integration, we.

0:46:51.600 --> 0:46:54.080
<v Speaker 7>Then took other relatives and pushed them through and popsas

0:46:54.120 --> 0:46:56.600
<v Speaker 7>were able to certify them and then teach them how

0:46:56.600 --> 0:46:59.200
<v Speaker 7>to go teach the classes. So now like with a

0:46:59.239 --> 0:47:02.239
<v Speaker 7>source of information, with a source of certifications, and then

0:47:02.239 --> 0:47:03.960
<v Speaker 7>if you need us to get our hands dirty, Pops

0:47:03.960 --> 0:47:07.239
<v Speaker 7>and go out and do dignitary security executive security of

0:47:07.320 --> 0:47:07.760
<v Speaker 7>the cases.

0:47:07.760 --> 0:47:07.920
<v Speaker 6>Bro.

0:47:08.000 --> 0:47:10.640
<v Speaker 7>So, Bro, my thing always been family business, like my

0:47:10.680 --> 0:47:12.760
<v Speaker 7>MARTA's been family business and none at all, the family

0:47:12.840 --> 0:47:15.880
<v Speaker 7>not involved, and I'm not at all, So like a

0:47:15.880 --> 0:47:17.319
<v Speaker 7>lot of people still ain't taught this, bro, But I've

0:47:17.360 --> 0:47:19.840
<v Speaker 7>been extremely intentional about all my products. They all have

0:47:19.920 --> 0:47:22.000
<v Speaker 7>my children on it on purpose, because my goal back

0:47:22.040 --> 0:47:25.040
<v Speaker 7>then was like, damn if I die, anything happened to me.

0:47:25.520 --> 0:47:28.040
<v Speaker 7>At least based off the relevance alone, they could still

0:47:28.040 --> 0:47:30.200
<v Speaker 7>eat and make money for the simple fact that this

0:47:30.280 --> 0:47:32.799
<v Speaker 7>man done attached to us to even we know what he.

0:47:32.800 --> 0:47:34.680
<v Speaker 6>Was attaching us to. We was full blown babies.

0:47:34.680 --> 0:47:37.840
<v Speaker 7>He just had our faces flashing on everything from books, curriculums,

0:47:37.880 --> 0:47:39.880
<v Speaker 7>board games, absolutely everything.

0:47:39.880 --> 0:47:40.040
<v Speaker 6>Bro.

0:47:40.160 --> 0:47:43.360
<v Speaker 7>So that's where my model since they won his family business.

0:47:43.360 --> 0:47:46.800
<v Speaker 7>Now in terms of like two thousand, nineteen twenty twenty,

0:47:47.080 --> 0:47:50.200
<v Speaker 7>I started venturing out. That's when I hired the well

0:47:50.560 --> 0:47:53.920
<v Speaker 7>more so like subcontract so the development team out in Spain.

0:47:54.520 --> 0:47:56.400
<v Speaker 7>When we came to them with a video game concept,

0:47:56.400 --> 0:47:58.440
<v Speaker 7>they was like, look, we could do it, but if

0:47:58.440 --> 0:47:59.920
<v Speaker 7>you want it done in a year. We got to

0:48:00.080 --> 0:48:02.080
<v Speaker 7>with our jobs and I was like, I'm not finna

0:48:02.080 --> 0:48:04.400
<v Speaker 7>pay all that. That's my first thought, like y'all scheming,

0:48:04.920 --> 0:48:06.680
<v Speaker 7>and I remember my project manager he was like, Bro,

0:48:06.719 --> 0:48:08.279
<v Speaker 7>they could do it, it's gonna be like one hundred

0:48:08.320 --> 0:48:09.200
<v Speaker 7>and fifty dollars an hour.

0:48:09.280 --> 0:48:10.600
<v Speaker 6>I'm like, no, that's nothing.

0:48:11.080 --> 0:48:13.560
<v Speaker 7>I'm like how many hours? He was like, uh, like

0:48:13.640 --> 0:48:16.719
<v Speaker 7>seven thousand eight. I was like, whoa, I started doing

0:48:16.760 --> 0:48:17.040
<v Speaker 7>the math.

0:48:18.280 --> 0:48:19.920
<v Speaker 6>Y'all want it? They want a million dollars. He was

0:48:19.960 --> 0:48:21.600
<v Speaker 6>like exactly. He was like, you want the game in

0:48:21.600 --> 0:48:21.920
<v Speaker 6>a year.

0:48:22.000 --> 0:48:24.600
<v Speaker 7>So these eight dudes out in Spain bro To end

0:48:24.640 --> 0:48:27.200
<v Speaker 7>up quitting their jobs, and I basically I pay them

0:48:27.239 --> 0:48:29.560
<v Speaker 7>sixty five K the fourth of every month to keep

0:48:29.640 --> 0:48:31.960
<v Speaker 7>developing the game. And I'm grateful for that too, Brose.

0:48:31.960 --> 0:48:33.600
<v Speaker 7>They could have told me, like, give me half right now.

0:48:33.600 --> 0:48:36.240
<v Speaker 7>I pay them for it, but I make installments to them.

0:48:36.520 --> 0:48:39.520
<v Speaker 7>And then out started that. Bro I got like, you know,

0:48:39.560 --> 0:48:42.319
<v Speaker 7>the same situation with my cameraman down to my assistant.

0:48:42.600 --> 0:48:45.160
<v Speaker 7>I basically took it, not took them away, but people

0:48:45.160 --> 0:48:47.799
<v Speaker 7>I hire room bro out sided just hiring them and

0:48:47.800 --> 0:48:50.319
<v Speaker 7>compensating them for their services. I try to bring them up,

0:48:50.360 --> 0:48:52.680
<v Speaker 7>bring them in where they strong suits at. And not

0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:54.759
<v Speaker 7>only do they get paid like from me as you

0:48:54.800 --> 0:48:57.880
<v Speaker 7>know in basic payroll, but we moved together collectively. So

0:48:58.400 --> 0:49:00.200
<v Speaker 7>I'm gonna put my cameraman out there so he can

0:49:00.200 --> 0:49:02.440
<v Speaker 7>go get thirty more jobs a month, or I'm.

0:49:02.280 --> 0:49:03.760

<v Speaker 7>could get money as a team.

0:49:29.560 --> 0:49:32.640
<v Speaker 4>What does group economics mean to you?

0:49:32.680 --> 0:49:35.920
<v Speaker 7>To me, Bro, it mean a little more than us

0:49:35.920 --> 0:49:38.760
<v Speaker 7>getting money as a collective. You mean it mean creative control,

0:49:38.880 --> 0:49:42.359

0:50:49.440 --> 0:50:51.400
<v Speaker 7>I'm gonna just do business with anybody right now for

0:50:51.400 --> 0:50:52.600
<v Speaker 7>the sake of trying to get ahead.

0:50:54.320 --> 0:50:58.520
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, you've actually kured the talent of matching people with

0:50:58.719 --> 0:51:02.000
<v Speaker 5>tasks they actually enjoy. And that's something that we're working

0:51:02.000 --> 0:51:03.640
<v Speaker 5>on right now. You know, like we've tried to put

0:51:03.680 --> 0:51:06.000
<v Speaker 5>people in place and it's like, yeah, not really a

0:51:06.040 --> 0:51:08.880
<v Speaker 5>good fit. But what's your strategy to doing that?

0:51:09.000 --> 0:51:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Man?

0:51:09.719 --> 0:51:11.120
<v Speaker 6>I ain't gonna lie to you, Bro, I just learned

0:51:11.160 --> 0:51:11.920
<v Speaker 6>that strategy. This is.

0:51:14.760 --> 0:51:20.640
<v Speaker 7>Hey, but Bro, anybody that's gonna watch this dead serious

0:51:21.120 --> 0:51:23.520
<v Speaker 7>it You sing your best interest to plug people in

0:51:24.200 --> 0:51:26.960
<v Speaker 7>doing things they genuinely enjoy, because I don't care how

0:51:27.040 --> 0:51:27.759
<v Speaker 7>much money.

0:51:27.480 --> 0:51:28.040
<v Speaker 6>You're paying them.

0:51:28.040 --> 0:51:30.279
<v Speaker 7>At a certain point, they're not even gonna care about

0:51:30.320 --> 0:51:32.520
<v Speaker 7>the money. If they don't love what they're doing, it's

0:51:32.520 --> 0:51:35.279
<v Speaker 7>gonna be lackluster. There'll be no ambition, and you're gonna

0:51:35.280 --> 0:51:37.080
<v Speaker 7>start to get complaints and you're gonna be like.

0:51:37.239 --> 0:51:39.120
<v Speaker 6>Damn, I thought I'll pay all good. What's up?

0:51:39.200 --> 0:51:40.640
<v Speaker 7>And then one day they just break down and be

0:51:40.719 --> 0:51:43.160
<v Speaker 7>like I had this warehouse is eighty thousand degrees.

0:51:43.239 --> 0:51:44.879
<v Speaker 6>I hate being here. Then that's when you're like, oh,

0:51:45.400 --> 0:51:46.480
<v Speaker 6>so no, Bro, I ain't gonna lie.

0:51:46.600 --> 0:51:48.040
<v Speaker 7>I just learned that lesson this year, I had like

0:51:48.080 --> 0:51:50.320
<v Speaker 7>three different people in position because Robs just trying to

0:51:50.320 --> 0:51:51.560
<v Speaker 7>do the right thing, at least what I thought it

0:51:51.600 --> 0:51:54.120
<v Speaker 7>was the right thing, Like I'm gonna put my people's

0:51:54.160 --> 0:51:56.640
<v Speaker 7>on and then bro, they do the job cool for

0:51:56.719 --> 0:51:58.640
<v Speaker 7>six months and then you find out one day they

0:51:58.719 --> 0:52:01.360
<v Speaker 7>cuts you out when nobody was You're like, damn, I

0:52:01.360 --> 0:52:03.759
<v Speaker 7>thought it was love, and they're like, no, Bro, I

0:52:03.840 --> 0:52:06.359
<v Speaker 7>like customer service. I don't like packaging. And you be like,

0:52:06.400 --> 0:52:08.759
<v Speaker 7>oh my bad and too. And I'm gonna say this

0:52:08.760 --> 0:52:11.360
<v Speaker 7>to real. Communication is really important because I know for

0:52:11.400 --> 0:52:13.960
<v Speaker 7>me sometimes I get so caught up in the money

0:52:13.960 --> 0:52:16.600
<v Speaker 7>part and just running things and paying things and the

0:52:17.000 --> 0:52:19.239
<v Speaker 7>boss side of it that you never just go to

0:52:19.280 --> 0:52:21.200
<v Speaker 7>your peoples while they grinding and be like, how your

0:52:21.239 --> 0:52:22.360
<v Speaker 7>day going, how you feeling?

0:52:22.480 --> 0:52:23.560
<v Speaker 6>Do you like what you're doing?

0:52:24.080 --> 0:52:26.680
<v Speaker 7>And Bro, I didn't do that, And somebody on my

0:52:26.719 --> 0:52:28.200
<v Speaker 7>team checked me on that, and I was just like,

0:52:28.640 --> 0:52:29.359
<v Speaker 7>damn you right.

0:52:29.280 --> 0:52:30.960
<v Speaker 6>Small stuff. Somebody was like, you know, you never told

0:52:31.000 --> 0:52:31.440
<v Speaker 6>me thank.

0:52:31.320 --> 0:52:33.000
<v Speaker 7>You for anything, and I'm like, I pay you though,

0:52:34.520 --> 0:52:37.560
<v Speaker 7>and they was like, bail that, but just say thank

0:52:37.600 --> 0:52:39.400
<v Speaker 7>you sometimes, and I'm like, you know, you're right. I

0:52:39.440 --> 0:52:42.000
<v Speaker 7>can't be insensitive sometimes because it's just grind, grind, grind

0:52:42.000 --> 0:52:44.360
<v Speaker 7>for me. So no, lie Bro, I literally just learned that.

0:52:44.400 --> 0:52:46.560
<v Speaker 7>Within the last ninety days. Somebody cussed me out and I.

0:52:46.520 --> 0:52:48.640
<v Speaker 6>Was like huh. But then when they broke it down,

0:52:48.680 --> 0:52:50.600
<v Speaker 6>I was like, you're right. I can't be insensitive. It

0:52:50.680 --> 0:52:52.160
<v Speaker 6>just be work, work work for me. Sometimes.

0:52:52.400 --> 0:52:54.719
<v Speaker 3>No, that's true, and I think that's for any entrepreneur,

0:52:54.800 --> 0:52:59.120
<v Speaker 3>aspiring entrepreneur that's listening to this. That's something to keep

0:52:59.160 --> 0:53:01.600
<v Speaker 3>in mind. As far as being a leader is more

0:53:01.640 --> 0:53:05.720
<v Speaker 3>than just leading. It's about, like you said, putting people

0:53:05.760 --> 0:53:08.560
<v Speaker 3>in positions that they can thrive in. And it's like,

0:53:08.719 --> 0:53:11.080
<v Speaker 3>if somebody hates to cook, you could pay them to

0:53:11.080 --> 0:53:13.399
<v Speaker 3>be a chef and they might do it, but it's

0:53:13.400 --> 0:53:15.120
<v Speaker 3>not it's not that strong suit, like you know what

0:53:15.120 --> 0:53:17.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm saying. So it's like, yeah, we learned that. And

0:53:17.520 --> 0:53:20.960
<v Speaker 3>it's like like you said, sometimes you learn that on

0:53:21.000 --> 0:53:23.319
<v Speaker 3>a fly that they might tell you, or sometimes you

0:53:23.400 --> 0:53:25.200
<v Speaker 3>have to be able to read body language and just

0:53:25.280 --> 0:53:27.839
<v Speaker 3>kind of tell like it's not working, like or you'll

0:53:27.840 --> 0:53:31.000
<v Speaker 3>see the work the work like this ain't this is

0:53:31.000 --> 0:53:31.600
<v Speaker 3>aniga fit.

0:53:32.239 --> 0:53:33.000
<v Speaker 6>I ain't get either.

0:53:33.080 --> 0:53:35.120
<v Speaker 7>I saw the work like we had just looked into

0:53:35.160 --> 0:53:37.359
<v Speaker 7>the emails one day and somebody in my team didn't

0:53:37.400 --> 0:53:40.360
<v Speaker 7>respond or nothing for like nineteen days, and I'm.

0:53:40.160 --> 0:53:42.200
<v Speaker 6>Like, wait, they've been getting paid what they be doing.

0:53:42.719 --> 0:53:44.319
<v Speaker 7>And then that's when it was like, you never said

0:53:44.400 --> 0:53:46.680
<v Speaker 7>thank you, and I was just like, damn, you couldn't

0:53:46.680 --> 0:53:47.920
<v Speaker 7>just tell me that.

0:53:48.200 --> 0:53:50.680
<v Speaker 2>You let night even go buy Yeah, like.

0:53:50.960 --> 0:53:53.239
<v Speaker 7>Bro, I lost a couple thousand dollars, and I was like,

0:53:53.280 --> 0:53:55.920
<v Speaker 7>what's going on? Like we who doing this? And then

0:53:56.520 --> 0:53:59.160
<v Speaker 7>you know, the team sat down and that person's just like, yeah,

0:53:59.200 --> 0:54:01.640
<v Speaker 7>you never said thank you. And I was like, oh, okay,

0:54:01.680 --> 0:54:03.759
<v Speaker 7>well look I ain't gonna do bitness with you no more,

0:54:03.800 --> 0:54:05.839
<v Speaker 7>but I do apologize. Maybe the next life, I'm gonna

0:54:05.880 --> 0:54:07.239
<v Speaker 7>say thank you when I rehire you.

0:54:07.160 --> 0:54:08.000
<v Speaker 6>And we build again.

0:54:10.400 --> 0:54:13.040
<v Speaker 4>Oh man, gotta love it. Gotta love it.

0:54:13.520 --> 0:54:15.360
<v Speaker 3>So all right, so in the last second, we're going

0:54:15.400 --> 0:54:17.680
<v Speaker 3>to go into the board game itself, and then also

0:54:17.719 --> 0:54:20.719
<v Speaker 3>I want to talk about your education that you're doing

0:54:20.760 --> 0:54:23.840
<v Speaker 3>as far as your homeschooling, and then also the educational

0:54:23.920 --> 0:54:26.200
<v Speaker 3>hub that I believe you're working on. So we're gonna

0:54:26.200 --> 0:54:28.279
<v Speaker 3>get to that in the last segment. All right, So

0:54:28.360 --> 0:54:31.200
<v Speaker 3>now we're going to talk about what you know has

0:54:31.239 --> 0:54:33.399
<v Speaker 3>really really blown you up on social media and That's

0:54:33.400 --> 0:54:35.279
<v Speaker 3>how I actually learned about you was through the board game.

0:54:35.360 --> 0:54:38.400
<v Speaker 3>So can we talk about that the in Home Banking

0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:39.319
<v Speaker 3>board game?

0:54:40.000 --> 0:54:40.320
<v Speaker 2>First?

0:54:40.600 --> 0:54:43.680
<v Speaker 3>What made you do the board game? And what's the

0:54:43.680 --> 0:54:44.960
<v Speaker 3>format of the board game?

0:54:45.640 --> 0:54:49.120
<v Speaker 7>I got you, ro, So I'm just gonna make sure

0:54:49.840 --> 0:54:55.120
<v Speaker 7>I share it in the most positive way. I created

0:54:55.120 --> 0:54:58.200
<v Speaker 7>the concept in Home Banking in twenty seventeen, and I

0:54:58.239 --> 0:55:01.040
<v Speaker 7>was just doing courses. It started out as like a

0:55:01.040 --> 0:55:03.040
<v Speaker 7>one day class, and then it turned into a course

0:55:03.040 --> 0:55:06.040
<v Speaker 7>because I saw people took to it. Our last course, Bro,

0:55:06.120 --> 0:55:08.640
<v Speaker 7>I believe we had two thousand and eight people and

0:55:08.760 --> 0:55:11.280
<v Speaker 7>in the final day of class, only fifty two people

0:55:11.280 --> 0:55:14.600
<v Speaker 7>turned in all their homework assignment, so they kind.

0:55:14.440 --> 0:55:16.160
<v Speaker 6>Of disappointed me. I'm like, man, what did we just

0:55:16.200 --> 0:55:17.399
<v Speaker 6>sit here for six weeks and.

0:55:17.360 --> 0:55:20.000
<v Speaker 7>Do if y'all really weren't even doing the work outside

0:55:20.000 --> 0:55:21.360
<v Speaker 7>of me when I'm building with y'all.

0:55:21.880 --> 0:55:23.080
<v Speaker 6>So I'm sitting there, BRO, and.

0:55:23.040 --> 0:55:26.359
<v Speaker 7>I remember, like I was taking my medicine that day,

0:55:26.600 --> 0:55:30.919
<v Speaker 7>you know, just meditating in my world, and I said, Bro,

0:55:31.000 --> 0:55:32.319
<v Speaker 7>it just the light buddes.

0:55:32.080 --> 0:55:33.960
<v Speaker 6>Kinds like I'm gonna turn into a board game.

0:55:34.000 --> 0:55:35.879
<v Speaker 7>And Bro, one of the biggest things I've understood about

0:55:35.920 --> 0:55:38.480
<v Speaker 7>our people is we love entertainment. And I was like,

0:55:38.480 --> 0:55:41.480
<v Speaker 7>if we could find a way to basically infiltrate their

0:55:41.480 --> 0:55:43.960
<v Speaker 7>house and trick them into thinking it's just a fun, family,

0:55:44.000 --> 0:55:46.640
<v Speaker 7>colorful game, then we're gonna force them to learn.

0:55:47.200 --> 0:55:49.239
<v Speaker 6>So Bro, I hit my project manager. I'm like, Bro,

0:55:50.320 --> 0:55:52.399
<v Speaker 6>I want to make the board game YadA, YadA, y'all.

0:55:52.440 --> 0:55:54.799
<v Speaker 6>And he was like cool. XY said no, no, no.

0:55:54.840 --> 0:55:57.480
<v Speaker 7>Initially, Bro, I didn't have a project manager, but I

0:55:57.560 --> 0:55:59.279
<v Speaker 7>ended up getting a project manager. When I was telling

0:55:59.360 --> 0:56:00.920
<v Speaker 7>y'all like the people in Las Vegas was trying to

0:56:00.960 --> 0:56:03.720
<v Speaker 7>prow price guy. When the whole price gathering thing happened,

0:56:03.840 --> 0:56:05.600
<v Speaker 7>I had the dude I was, I was cool without

0:56:05.600 --> 0:56:06.000
<v Speaker 7>in Vegas.

0:56:06.040 --> 0:56:07.600
<v Speaker 6>I hit him like, Bro, what's up with your people?

0:56:07.680 --> 0:56:09.160
<v Speaker 6>They price gathering? YadA out of y'all.

0:56:09.520 --> 0:56:11.239
<v Speaker 7>He like, Brono, what's going on? But I got this

0:56:11.280 --> 0:56:14.640
<v Speaker 7>little dude I know who got some some ties overseas.

0:56:15.040 --> 0:56:18.560
<v Speaker 6>He'll he'll, he'll, he'll hook you up.

0:56:18.960 --> 0:56:21.319
<v Speaker 7>So he just give me the dude number. Bro Like, no, Lie,

0:56:21.400 --> 0:56:25.120
<v Speaker 7>I don't know him from nowhere. His English terrible, Like Bro,

0:56:25.400 --> 0:56:27.600
<v Speaker 7>it was like the most awkward phone call ever. But

0:56:27.640 --> 0:56:29.560
<v Speaker 7>I ain't gonna lie bright, he had no choice. I

0:56:29.600 --> 0:56:31.200
<v Speaker 7>get on the phone to do he like, Hey, this

0:56:31.239 --> 0:56:32.799
<v Speaker 7>is my name, yea y out of Yeah. He's like,

0:56:33.080 --> 0:56:35.359
<v Speaker 7>I can make this happen for you, but you're gonna

0:56:35.400 --> 0:56:37.480
<v Speaker 7>have to wire like two hundred and twenty five thousand

0:56:37.520 --> 0:56:41.200
<v Speaker 7>dollars and no, lie, Bro, my only option was either

0:56:41.239 --> 0:56:44.520
<v Speaker 7>send him that money or refund nine hundred grand work

0:56:44.600 --> 0:56:45.040
<v Speaker 7>for orders.

0:56:45.080 --> 0:56:47.440
<v Speaker 6>And I was not of finna do that. So Bro

0:56:47.600 --> 0:56:48.160
<v Speaker 6>literally got it.

0:56:48.200 --> 0:56:50.920
<v Speaker 7>The next day, I learned how to send my first wire,

0:56:51.960 --> 0:56:53.560
<v Speaker 7>and I sent money to a stranger.

0:56:53.560 --> 0:56:55.320
<v Speaker 6>Bro. I didn't even know his foot name.

0:56:56.760 --> 0:56:57.440
<v Speaker 2>Bullets.

0:56:58.600 --> 0:57:00.919
<v Speaker 7>I don't even know his name, but like our kids,

0:57:00.920 --> 0:57:03.560
<v Speaker 7>you're not Bro. He just landed at five thirty five likes.

0:57:03.719 --> 0:57:06.040
<v Speaker 7>That's like my best friend now two years going on

0:57:06.080 --> 0:57:08.399
<v Speaker 7>two years later because we down here where I'm about

0:57:08.400 --> 0:57:11.200
<v Speaker 7>to roll out roll out an artificial intelligence and robotics

0:57:11.200 --> 0:57:13.719
<v Speaker 7>company in the water company, so he down he just

0:57:13.719 --> 0:57:15.760
<v Speaker 7>got the temple literally like an hour and a half ago,

0:57:16.000 --> 0:57:18.240
<v Speaker 7>so we could map that out. But yeah, Bro, So

0:57:18.360 --> 0:57:21.280
<v Speaker 7>I shot that to him just on a hope in

0:57:21.320 --> 0:57:23.640
<v Speaker 7>the prayer and Bro, he literally hit me back a

0:57:23.680 --> 0:57:25.720
<v Speaker 7>couple days later and it was like, look, I'm gonna

0:57:25.720 --> 0:57:28.080
<v Speaker 7>have some samples to your door within two Within two weeks,

0:57:28.520 --> 0:57:30.480
<v Speaker 7>signed off on the samples and they're gonna start mass

0:57:30.520 --> 0:57:33.120
<v Speaker 7>producing and from there, Bro, we've been rolling ever since.

0:57:33.560 --> 0:57:34.280
<v Speaker 6>I will say this.

0:57:34.360 --> 0:57:37.120
<v Speaker 7>Again, just speaking on the procrastination factor that Bro mentioned,

0:57:37.480 --> 0:57:39.680
<v Speaker 7>I did lose around like one hundred and fifty thousand

0:57:39.720 --> 0:57:43.520
<v Speaker 7>dollars on that board game on that project, from refunds, chargebacks,

0:57:43.880 --> 0:57:46.640
<v Speaker 7>for the simple fact that I wasn't really educated on

0:57:46.680 --> 0:57:48.360
<v Speaker 7>how to do business cross seeds, so a lot of

0:57:48.400 --> 0:57:49.360
<v Speaker 7>it was just trialing error.

0:57:49.400 --> 0:57:49.600
<v Speaker 6>For me.

0:57:49.600 --> 0:57:52.240
<v Speaker 7>It was just shooting my shot and seeing what a fall,

0:57:52.320 --> 0:57:54.640
<v Speaker 7>and eventually it fell. I figured out the formula and

0:57:54.640 --> 0:57:57.280
<v Speaker 7>we kept going. But on that first ten thousand batch

0:57:57.320 --> 0:57:59.600
<v Speaker 7>of board games, I definitely lost easily one hundred and

0:57:59.600 --> 0:58:02.240
<v Speaker 7>fifty with people just being pissed that it took so long.

0:58:03.680 --> 0:58:04.640
<v Speaker 2>What was that process?

0:58:04.720 --> 0:58:06.880
<v Speaker 5>Like, I mean, obviously you're talking about trust, You're sending

0:58:07.000 --> 0:58:09.760
<v Speaker 5>quarter million dollars overseas, what's that process like working with

0:58:09.960 --> 0:58:12.520
<v Speaker 5>people overseas. We've had an experience and it didn't go

0:58:12.640 --> 0:58:14.720
<v Speaker 5>that well. What was your experience?

0:58:15.640 --> 0:58:18.600
<v Speaker 7>The dope thing about him, right, his parents was missionaries,

0:58:19.240 --> 0:58:21.960
<v Speaker 7>so he kind of it's like he knows somebody everywhere.

0:58:22.600 --> 0:58:24.720
<v Speaker 7>So Bro, he got he got like healthy relationships to

0:58:24.720 --> 0:58:27.200
<v Speaker 7>where like when he called, they be on go. So

0:58:27.280 --> 0:58:29.600
<v Speaker 7>Ray ain't gonna lie. Like I've never spoken directly with

0:58:29.720 --> 0:58:33.480
<v Speaker 7>China ever. I hit Bro he middle man, and he

0:58:33.600 --> 0:58:35.360
<v Speaker 7>literally come back twenty four hours.

0:58:35.200 --> 0:58:38.680
<v Speaker 6>Later with a with a result, and I just green lighted.

0:58:38.760 --> 0:58:42.080
<v Speaker 7>But nah, Bro, in terms of everything, China has been

0:58:42.400 --> 0:58:46.360
<v Speaker 7>very professional. They've executed everything on time. And I'm gonna

0:58:46.360 --> 0:58:48.600
<v Speaker 7>tell you one more thing, Bro, in terms of the procrastination,

0:58:48.680 --> 0:58:51.400
<v Speaker 7>that did hurt during the process. So because that made

0:58:51.400 --> 0:58:54.360
<v Speaker 7>people wait so long, I really didn't have the option

0:58:54.480 --> 0:58:56.280
<v Speaker 7>to move it by ship. I did, but it would

0:58:56.320 --> 0:58:58.760
<v Speaker 7>have took an extra sixty days. So Bro, we had

0:58:58.760 --> 0:59:02.160
<v Speaker 7>to overnight tens thousand pounds worth of I mean ten

0:59:02.360 --> 0:59:04.680
<v Speaker 7>in terms of pounds. You got ten thousand board games

0:59:04.720 --> 0:59:07.920
<v Speaker 7>coming on a plane. Bro, I paid more for the

0:59:08.000 --> 0:59:10.640
<v Speaker 7>flight than I paid for the production, and I had

0:59:10.680 --> 0:59:14.360
<v Speaker 7>to do that twice because I took so long. So granted,

0:59:14.480 --> 0:59:16.760
<v Speaker 7>I made almost a million dollars off the first batch,

0:59:16.840 --> 0:59:19.720
<v Speaker 7>but we lost one hundred and fifty thousand refunds and

0:59:19.760 --> 0:59:21.720
<v Speaker 7>then we spent right around like two hundred and forty

0:59:21.760 --> 0:59:24.600
<v Speaker 7>five thousand and even get it here. So almost like

0:59:24.640 --> 0:59:26.760
<v Speaker 7>four hundred granted that was a well, not really an

0:59:26.960 --> 0:59:29.560
<v Speaker 7>l because some of it went into production, but four

0:59:29.640 --> 0:59:31.919
<v Speaker 7>hundred thousand of that was going out the door off

0:59:31.960 --> 0:59:35.040
<v Speaker 7>top because like overnight and that many pounds worth or

0:59:35.120 --> 0:59:37.720
<v Speaker 7>for board games is a serious it's a serious price.

0:59:38.000 --> 0:59:39.919
<v Speaker 5>So because it was delay, you expotuted it. So it's

0:59:39.960 --> 0:59:42.480
<v Speaker 5>like instead of seven to ten, now you're doing three to.

0:59:42.520 --> 0:59:43.960
<v Speaker 6>Five, right, bro.

0:59:44.000 --> 0:59:45.960
<v Speaker 7>So people already beating me over the head like where

0:59:45.960 --> 0:59:46.959
<v Speaker 7>are my game? Where are my game?

0:59:47.040 --> 0:59:49.720
<v Speaker 6>So I hit my bro. I'm like, man, they can't

0:59:49.720 --> 0:59:50.439
<v Speaker 6>get it hot fast.

0:59:50.480 --> 0:59:52.080
<v Speaker 7>He was like all right, bro, they could do overnight,

0:59:52.120 --> 0:59:54.640
<v Speaker 7>but because coming from China is still they overnight is

0:59:54.680 --> 0:59:58.200
<v Speaker 7>three days. And I'm like all right, bro. He was like,

0:59:58.320 --> 1:00:00.240
<v Speaker 7>you got to see me another ninety it's like ninety

1:00:00.280 --> 1:00:01.000
<v Speaker 7>eight grand.

1:00:00.840 --> 1:00:02.680
<v Speaker 6>Just for the flight. And I was like all right.

1:00:02.840 --> 1:00:04.480
<v Speaker 7>I sent him the money and they got in here

1:00:04.920 --> 1:00:07.080
<v Speaker 7>and then customs was tripping holding it up.

1:00:07.720 --> 1:00:07.919
<v Speaker 2>Bro.

1:00:08.000 --> 1:00:09.960
<v Speaker 7>We took like three U hauls all the way down

1:00:09.960 --> 1:00:13.120
<v Speaker 7>to Miami from Tampa, packed all the board games, so

1:00:13.240 --> 1:00:15.440
<v Speaker 7>many board games. We still didn't have enough U hauls

1:00:15.440 --> 1:00:18.920
<v Speaker 7>with three drove them back to Tampa. Start packaging and

1:00:18.960 --> 1:00:20.040
<v Speaker 7>getting it out.

1:00:20.600 --> 1:00:23.000
<v Speaker 3>So as far as the board game, like I get

1:00:23.000 --> 1:00:24.560
<v Speaker 3>the game, what am I going to learn?

1:00:24.600 --> 1:00:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Like?

1:00:24.760 --> 1:00:28.040
<v Speaker 3>Is it is it like Monopoly? Like what's the what's

1:00:28.040 --> 1:00:29.200
<v Speaker 3>the kind of format?

1:00:29.920 --> 1:00:32.920
<v Speaker 6>So bro? For me, in my opinion, Bro, it is.

1:00:34.520 --> 1:00:37.400
<v Speaker 7>It's really opposite the monopoly, right because the whole goal

1:00:37.480 --> 1:00:40.560
<v Speaker 7>is collective economics, and like it'd be funny, right people

1:00:40.720 --> 1:00:42.240
<v Speaker 7>look at the board and be like what do I

1:00:42.280 --> 1:00:43.560
<v Speaker 7>get when I go past goal?

1:00:44.240 --> 1:00:45.680
<v Speaker 6>And I'm like, Bro, the's same monopoly.

1:00:45.720 --> 1:00:48.960
<v Speaker 7>You don't wi our coachy be getting a ward at

1:00:48.960 --> 1:00:51.240
<v Speaker 7>one hundred thousand dollars when the graduate school, No, we

1:00:51.680 --> 1:00:54.280
<v Speaker 7>probably have a hoop being an eight dollar job in

1:00:54.400 --> 1:00:56.040
<v Speaker 7>fast food one that.

1:00:57.000 --> 1:00:57.640
<v Speaker 6>You feel me, Bro?

1:00:57.680 --> 1:01:00.160
<v Speaker 7>And then and then too not knocking monopoly, Bro, I

1:01:00.200 --> 1:01:03.400
<v Speaker 7>just felt like a lot of that was like it

1:01:03.480 --> 1:01:06.040
<v Speaker 7>just wasn't a genuine perspective for our culture, Like how

1:01:06.040 --> 1:01:08.320
<v Speaker 7>many of us get to inherit railroads.

1:01:08.720 --> 1:01:11.680
<v Speaker 2>That's not a lot We.

1:01:11.680 --> 1:01:13.880
<v Speaker 7>The last people that need to be trying to monopolize

1:01:13.880 --> 1:01:15.960
<v Speaker 7>the bros and choke them out and break their neck,

1:01:16.040 --> 1:01:18.880
<v Speaker 7>you feel me? So my game is ready to total opposite.

1:01:18.920 --> 1:01:21.240
<v Speaker 7>It's kind of showing us collectively how to come together

1:01:21.280 --> 1:01:23.280
<v Speaker 7>and beat the system. Like in the game they have

1:01:23.360 --> 1:01:26.840
<v Speaker 7>these I have these cars caught system issues where you're

1:01:26.840 --> 1:01:28.440
<v Speaker 7>gonna roll the dice and you're gonna end up in

1:01:28.560 --> 1:01:31.480
<v Speaker 7>jail because you don't understand the discripan I'm sorry, just

1:01:31.600 --> 1:01:35.840
<v Speaker 7>sentencing discrepancies between powder cocaine and crack cocaine. A lot

1:01:35.840 --> 1:01:38.520
<v Speaker 7>of people don't know, Like our culture was targeted through that.

1:01:39.080 --> 1:01:41.200
<v Speaker 7>A lot of people don't know the difference between traveling

1:01:41.240 --> 1:01:43.640
<v Speaker 7>and driveling. So, bro, those are some of the things

1:01:43.640 --> 1:01:45.120
<v Speaker 7>that people are gonna learn in the game. And the

1:01:45.160 --> 1:01:47.640
<v Speaker 7>dope thing about it, which is the funny part, is

1:01:47.640 --> 1:01:49.960
<v Speaker 7>before you can play the game, you have to define

1:01:49.960 --> 1:01:51.720
<v Speaker 7>the intellectual property cards.

1:01:52.080 --> 1:01:54.280
<v Speaker 6>So people be super excited, like, yeah, man, just got

1:01:54.400 --> 1:01:55.720
<v Speaker 6>my game. I'm about to bust it open.

1:01:55.840 --> 1:01:58.840
<v Speaker 7>In my head, I'm laughing, like, nah, bro, y'all finna

1:01:58.880 --> 1:02:00.480
<v Speaker 7>do like a month worth of research.

1:02:02.720 --> 1:02:05.960
<v Speaker 3>No, you know, it's interesting because I never thought about

1:02:05.960 --> 1:02:08.160
<v Speaker 3>it like that. But Monopoly, I mean, it's the name

1:02:08.280 --> 1:02:12.919
<v Speaker 3>is Monopoly. The game is to monopolize it. And it's like, yeah,

1:02:13.080 --> 1:02:15.560
<v Speaker 3>that is that really what you want to do as

1:02:15.560 --> 1:02:18.120
<v Speaker 3>an entrepreneur. And it's like, especially us in our community,

1:02:18.120 --> 1:02:20.320
<v Speaker 3>that's not probably something that we should aspire to, is

1:02:20.440 --> 1:02:22.400
<v Speaker 3>to monopolyalize something.

1:02:23.480 --> 1:02:25.480
<v Speaker 4>It's probably not going to happen. Let's just be honest.

1:02:25.800 --> 1:02:29.040
<v Speaker 3>But then B it's like we would be better if

1:02:29.040 --> 1:02:30.760
<v Speaker 3>we learned group economics.

1:02:30.840 --> 1:02:32.000
<v Speaker 4>Like, so that's interesting.

1:02:32.480 --> 1:02:34.400
<v Speaker 7>I can't speak for all the other coaches, but I

1:02:34.440 --> 1:02:36.680
<v Speaker 7>think for ours that and the type of time we

1:02:36.680 --> 1:02:38.760
<v Speaker 7>need to be on right now talking about monopoly, we

1:02:38.800 --> 1:02:40.120
<v Speaker 7>need to try and figure out how to get our

1:02:40.160 --> 1:02:44.240
<v Speaker 7>infrastructure together individually, then get together collectively and become a powerhouse.

1:02:44.280 --> 1:02:46.080
<v Speaker 6>But we we ain't even.

1:02:45.960 --> 1:02:47.960
<v Speaker 7>Got no legs right now to stand under someone like yeah, man,

1:02:47.960 --> 1:02:49.080
<v Speaker 7>I'm to monopolize out.

1:02:50.960 --> 1:02:52.880
<v Speaker 2>We're working for working for Amazon.

1:02:52.920 --> 1:02:53.919
<v Speaker 4>And I saw that you said.

1:02:53.960 --> 1:02:58.840
<v Speaker 3>It's also it's a it's really an educational course in games.

1:02:58.880 --> 1:03:01.439
<v Speaker 3>It's like a game. It's like edvacational course in game

1:03:01.520 --> 1:03:05.040
<v Speaker 3>format where people learn. It's like going to school and learning.

1:03:05.400 --> 1:03:10.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so you you that's ahead, No, you got well not, Bro.

1:03:10.760 --> 1:03:12.400
<v Speaker 6>I was just saying, like, that's always my moto.

1:03:12.440 --> 1:03:15.160
<v Speaker 7>BRO is just finding fun and creative ways that we

1:03:15.200 --> 1:03:17.640
<v Speaker 7>could learn and we could teach. So for me and

1:03:17.680 --> 1:03:19.919
<v Speaker 7>it worked, Bro, I really felt like, all right, y'all

1:03:19.920 --> 1:03:21.760
<v Speaker 7>this how we're gonna infiltrate the system even down to

1:03:21.800 --> 1:03:24.439
<v Speaker 7>the video game with you know this far we're going

1:03:24.480 --> 1:03:25.960
<v Speaker 7>PS five, Xbox and PC.

1:03:26.680 --> 1:03:31.200
<v Speaker 6>But it's the same method the medicine in the candy. Bro,

1:03:31.600 --> 1:03:32.200
<v Speaker 6>We're gonna find it.

1:03:32.200 --> 1:03:33.720
<v Speaker 7>We're gonna figure out a way to get into your

1:03:33.760 --> 1:03:36.120
<v Speaker 7>crib and once we get in there, you're gonna be like,

1:03:36.200 --> 1:03:38.800
<v Speaker 7>oh okay, So, Bro, really trying to make us a

1:03:38.840 --> 1:03:42.680
<v Speaker 7>little more business savvy or stronger, you know, economically and financially,

1:03:43.160 --> 1:03:44.840
<v Speaker 7>you know why mixing a little ratchet in that.

1:03:44.960 --> 1:03:46.000
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, and.

1:03:46.240 --> 1:03:46.720
<v Speaker 4>I respect you.

1:03:46.800 --> 1:03:49.280
<v Speaker 3>Look you said with the with the pricing, because it's

1:03:49.320 --> 1:03:51.680
<v Speaker 3>not you can't look at it's just the regular board

1:03:51.720 --> 1:03:54.800
<v Speaker 3>game that's just here to entertain you. It's an educational course.

1:03:55.080 --> 1:03:58.760
<v Speaker 3>So of course it has to be priced accordingly because

1:03:59.040 --> 1:04:02.480
<v Speaker 3>you're so if you look at from that point, it's extreme. Uh,

1:04:02.520 --> 1:04:04.080
<v Speaker 3>it's extremely underpriced.

1:04:04.800 --> 1:04:08.000
<v Speaker 7>Right, That'd be the question people people saying the time,

1:04:08.120 --> 1:04:11.000
<v Speaker 7>like why is the board game as much? And I'm like, Bro,

1:04:11.040 --> 1:04:12.840
<v Speaker 7>you couldn't have read a description because you would know,

1:04:12.920 --> 1:04:16.320
<v Speaker 7>like the secondary definition of this is a board game.

1:04:16.320 --> 1:04:17.080
<v Speaker 6>But if you're going with.

1:04:17.040 --> 1:04:20.360
<v Speaker 7>The primary, Bro, this is a tool like I'm teaching

1:04:20.360 --> 1:04:22.680
<v Speaker 7>you the different like small, well it's not small, but

1:04:22.720 --> 1:04:26.240
<v Speaker 7>the difference between the driving and traveling. You don't even

1:04:26.240 --> 1:04:28.240
<v Speaker 7>know what type of verbose are used when law enforcement

1:04:28.360 --> 1:04:31.120
<v Speaker 7>encountering you, or you don't understand the importance of your

1:04:31.160 --> 1:04:34.680
<v Speaker 7>Second Amendment, Like that's not a board game, that's real game,

1:04:34.760 --> 1:04:36.240
<v Speaker 7>real life inform application.

1:04:36.320 --> 1:04:39.080
<v Speaker 6>Yeah you need right now in twenty twenty. Twenty twenty

1:04:39.160 --> 1:04:39.680
<v Speaker 6>is turned up.

1:04:39.680 --> 1:04:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Bro, this.

1:04:41.920 --> 1:04:46.200
<v Speaker 6>I don't know what this year smoked that snort versus

1:04:46.200 --> 1:04:47.440
<v Speaker 6>this year is turned up.

1:04:48.560 --> 1:04:50.440
<v Speaker 5>I was gonna go into the homeschool part because I

1:04:50.440 --> 1:04:52.720
<v Speaker 5>know you've been doing that with your children when you

1:04:52.720 --> 1:04:55.760
<v Speaker 5>were creating curriculums at that time for your kids. Is

1:04:55.760 --> 1:04:57.840
<v Speaker 5>this how you transition into the curriculum for the board

1:04:57.880 --> 1:04:58.479
<v Speaker 5>game in the sense?

1:04:59.080 --> 1:05:02.240
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, bro, that that's exactly what happened. So initially I

1:05:02.280 --> 1:05:04.680
<v Speaker 7>was just teaching my children different things in the crib.

1:05:05.040 --> 1:05:08.040
<v Speaker 7>One of the videos went viral on June a, twenty sixteen,

1:05:08.080 --> 1:05:10.560
<v Speaker 7>on my daughter birthday, and then the demand came and

1:05:10.600 --> 1:05:13.000
<v Speaker 7>people was like, man, I want my babies to notice

1:05:13.040 --> 1:05:15.439
<v Speaker 7>and know that. Then that's when I started saying, okay, cool,

1:05:15.520 --> 1:05:18.200
<v Speaker 7>let me write these curriculums. So I could start shipping

1:05:18.200 --> 1:05:20.080
<v Speaker 7>them out to the streets and people can start giving

1:05:20.080 --> 1:05:21.520
<v Speaker 7>the same information to their babies.

1:05:21.560 --> 1:05:22.840
<v Speaker 6>But nah, bro, that's it.

1:05:23.120 --> 1:05:26.200
<v Speaker 7>Literally is like a lot of the same information curriculum

1:05:26.240 --> 1:05:27.760
<v Speaker 7>wise on notes that I was taking for.

1:05:27.800 --> 1:05:30.040
<v Speaker 6>Years and then I just poured it into board game

1:05:30.120 --> 1:05:31.120
<v Speaker 6>formatt and ran with it.

1:05:31.480 --> 1:05:33.400
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, speaking about the price, we always try to

1:05:33.400 --> 1:05:36.000

<v Speaker 3>everybody needs to take advantage of because we learn in

1:06:03.240 --> 1:06:05.840
<v Speaker 3>different ways. Like even us we were talking off camera, but

1:06:06.360 --> 1:06:08.400
<v Speaker 3>all three of us has learned a lot from music.

1:06:08.960 --> 1:06:12.680
<v Speaker 3>And you would think that, you know, music isn't necessarily schooling,

1:06:13.160 --> 1:06:16.200
<v Speaker 3>but it is a time for good or bad. You

1:06:16.240 --> 1:06:19.160

1:06:19.680 --> 1:06:25.040
<v Speaker 3>actually have the the foresight to put the education in

1:06:26.320 --> 1:06:29.560
<v Speaker 3>a game format is very very brilliant.

1:06:29.640 --> 1:06:33.040

1:06:33.880 --> 1:06:37.480

<v Speaker 7>relationship if I was quarantine with her like I would do.

<v Speaker 7>I'm glad, Like I ain't even tripping on the quarantines.

1:08:29.000 --> 1:08:31.559
<v Speaker 7>I'm just really surrounded by people that I genuinely love

1:08:31.640 --> 1:08:33.519
<v Speaker 7>and I love to spend time with them. It's not

1:08:33.560 --> 1:08:35.960
<v Speaker 7>like a time limit of like you know, after four hours,

1:08:35.960 --> 1:08:38.000

1:08:38.040 --> 1:08:38.479

<v Speaker 2>I'm with you. I'm with you on that.

1:08:40.000 --> 1:08:40.160
<v Speaker 6>Man.

1:08:40.360 --> 1:08:42.760
<v Speaker 2>It's been like you said, you get to spend time

1:08:42.760 --> 1:08:43.400
<v Speaker 2>with your family.

1:08:44.040 --> 1:08:46.639
<v Speaker 5>My wife cooks every day, she takes care of everything,

1:08:46.800 --> 1:08:48.320
<v Speaker 5>takes care of all the kids needs.

1:08:48.360 --> 1:08:50.439
<v Speaker 2>So it's been beautiful in that sense.

1:08:50.439 --> 1:08:50.599
<v Speaker 6>Man.

1:08:50.640 --> 1:08:52.360
<v Speaker 5>And then we get to learn and we get to

1:08:52.400 --> 1:08:54.599
<v Speaker 5>really appreciate the time that we have because we've been

1:08:54.960 --> 1:08:57.120
<v Speaker 5>in New York especially. Man, it's hustling, bustle, you know

1:08:57.160 --> 1:08:59.400
<v Speaker 5>what I'm saying. You usually you could see them in

1:08:59.400 --> 1:09:01.280
<v Speaker 5>the like before go to work. They come home from work,

1:09:01.320 --> 1:09:03.760
<v Speaker 5>it's like all right, trying to cook then and go

1:09:03.760 --> 1:09:05.080
<v Speaker 5>to bed, you know what I'm saying. So you missed

1:09:05.080 --> 1:09:07.519
<v Speaker 5>these these these type of moments, man, But definitely I'm

1:09:07.520 --> 1:09:08.120
<v Speaker 5>with you on that.

1:09:08.840 --> 1:09:09.439
<v Speaker 6>Nah Man.

1:09:09.600 --> 1:09:16.759
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, that was that was very lightful interview. Derek.

1:09:16.840 --> 1:09:19.599
<v Speaker 3>You're your gentleman and a scholar, and I wanted I

1:09:19.600 --> 1:09:21.839
<v Speaker 3>want to say that too, because I think it's important

1:09:21.840 --> 1:09:24.519
<v Speaker 3>for people to, you know, not judge a book by

1:09:24.560 --> 1:09:24.920
<v Speaker 3>its cover.

1:09:25.080 --> 1:09:25.200
<v Speaker 6>Right.

1:09:25.280 --> 1:09:28.000
<v Speaker 3>It's like you see see a guy with guns, tattoos

1:09:28.000 --> 1:09:31.519
<v Speaker 3>on his face and dreadlocks, but he's very polite, he's

1:09:31.640 --> 1:09:36.479
<v Speaker 3>very he's very respectful, and that just goes to show

1:09:36.520 --> 1:09:38.920
<v Speaker 3>you that once again, we can't judge a book by

1:09:38.960 --> 1:09:41.960
<v Speaker 3>its cover, but you don't. You could be whoever you

1:09:41.960 --> 1:09:43.880
<v Speaker 3>want in this world. And that's the good thing, Legion, Like,

1:09:43.920 --> 1:09:46.400
<v Speaker 3>we never tell people you have to be this way.

1:09:46.560 --> 1:09:51.320
<v Speaker 3>We have people from all different walks of life, different backgrounds,

1:09:51.840 --> 1:09:54.720
<v Speaker 3>and that's okay because it's like the world is made

1:09:54.800 --> 1:09:57.840
<v Speaker 3>up of a bunch of different types of people, right,

1:09:57.960 --> 1:10:03.200
<v Speaker 3>So never never discount somebody because of how they look,

1:10:03.360 --> 1:10:07.559
<v Speaker 3>because you could potentially be discounting somebody that could make

1:10:07.560 --> 1:10:08.760
<v Speaker 3>you a lot of money or you can make a

1:10:08.760 --> 1:10:10.519
<v Speaker 3>lot of money with it, could be a business partner,

1:10:11.080 --> 1:10:13.559
<v Speaker 3>you can get married too. So I think it's important

1:10:13.600 --> 1:10:16.519
<v Speaker 3>to highlight that because yeah, it's something that you know,

1:10:16.560 --> 1:10:19.160
<v Speaker 3>a lot of a lot of outlets probably would have

1:10:19.160 --> 1:10:21.720
<v Speaker 3>shot away like oh no, this is too what is

1:10:21.760 --> 1:10:22.599
<v Speaker 3>this going on here?

1:10:22.640 --> 1:10:24.000
<v Speaker 4>But it's like, we don't care.

1:10:24.200 --> 1:10:26.360
<v Speaker 6>It is what it is, and I'm gonna just rip it, bro.

1:10:26.640 --> 1:10:28.320
<v Speaker 7>I think that's I think that's one of the things

1:10:28.320 --> 1:10:30.360
<v Speaker 7>that make me most dangerous as well as the people

1:10:30.400 --> 1:10:32.640
<v Speaker 7>I build it is that we recept it to new information,

1:10:33.360 --> 1:10:37.200
<v Speaker 7>whether it be like I mean Bro, just speaking on

1:10:37.240 --> 1:10:40.639
<v Speaker 7>my lady, Bro, Like, my lady is a retired dancer

1:10:41.160 --> 1:10:44.240
<v Speaker 7>and I'm a dad with five children with three mothers.

1:10:44.720 --> 1:10:48.120
<v Speaker 7>You feel me society wise, She's the woman that they

1:10:48.120 --> 1:10:50.640
<v Speaker 7>say like stay away from, and I'm the daddy that

1:10:50.640 --> 1:10:54.479
<v Speaker 7>they say stay away from. But those two weird entities

1:10:54.520 --> 1:10:57.240
<v Speaker 7>in terms of society's definition joined, and.

1:10:57.320 --> 1:10:58.280
<v Speaker 6>You feel me. I ain't gonna lie, Bro.

1:10:58.320 --> 1:11:00.200
<v Speaker 7>I feel like I'm the most dangerous I ever being.

1:11:00.240 --> 1:11:02.400
<v Speaker 7>I make more money than I ever made, I'm happier.

1:11:02.760 --> 1:11:04.760
<v Speaker 7>I've been losing weight, but I've been gaining weight my

1:11:04.800 --> 1:11:06.920
<v Speaker 7>whole life. I've been losing weight lately. I'll be riding

1:11:06.920 --> 1:11:09.400
<v Speaker 7>my bicycle and eat my pine.

1:11:09.560 --> 1:11:10.120
<v Speaker 2>I feel you.

1:11:11.960 --> 1:11:15.160
<v Speaker 7>My dangerous connections in the most artist places. That's because

1:11:15.200 --> 1:11:17.880
<v Speaker 7>we make ourselves receptive to people, and we don't just

1:11:17.960 --> 1:11:20.360
<v Speaker 7>you know, shut the door on because society said, don't

1:11:20.439 --> 1:11:22.200
<v Speaker 7>kick it with somebody that looked like this and that.

1:11:22.920 --> 1:11:23.719
<v Speaker 4>Now that's a fact.

1:11:23.800 --> 1:11:25.920
<v Speaker 3>Anything you want to make the people aware of that,

1:11:25.960 --> 1:11:28.280
<v Speaker 3>we might not have talked about. How can people contact you?

1:11:28.360 --> 1:11:29.719
