22
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: Earn Your Leisure media platform started four years ago and

00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: talk about financial literacy, business empowerment. Um. You know, We've

24
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: created uh podcast network, we do a lot of events.

25
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: We just did ms G that was crazy, So pretty much,

26
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: I guess the best way to describe it as a

27
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: platform and a movement for people that are interested in learning,

28
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: educating themselves and really get into to really learning about

29
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: money from the you know, the real root of it. Yeah. Yeah,

30
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,919
Speaker 1: So I'm try the other half of Earn Your Leisure.

31
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Like you said, financial literacy platform, it's really about teaching

32
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 1: sustainable wealth. You know what I'm saying. Lots of people

33
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: talk about generational wealth, but they never tell you once

34
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: you get the money, what you do with it. And

35
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: so we see that in a lot of industries. We

36
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: see in athletes and entertainments they get the money and

37
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: they blow it. And so our jobs to educate people

38
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 1: kick down doors, show different avenues, you know what I'm saying,

39
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: so we can maintain the money for generations to come. Okay,

40
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: I'm nineteen keys uh the Courtious top Thought leader, you

41
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: understand me. I got a show called High Level Conversations,

42
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: the number one intellectual show in the world. Also have

43
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: a program called b w OH where we teach people mental, physical,

44
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: financial fitness. You understand me, just re engineering the mind,

45
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: knowing yourself, knowing who you are. You understand me, and

46
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 1: at the same time, knowing how to not only invest

47
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: in knowledge yourself, but how to invest in your communities.

48
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 1: You understand me. We got a program called Oasis, and

49
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: it's more so when we have an investment group where

50
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: we get to come together and think about how to

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: reimagine Black America. So you know, as a young guy,

52
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: I'm just here to get some knowledge. So I don't

53
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: see that, y'all. And I one knows the controversy, right,

54
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: we can't be can't avoid it, right, everyone knows the

55
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: controversy that we had here. He said he was a billionaire, right,

56
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: we respected that, we rooted for that. But then um,

57
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: we had this reports for datas saying that they froze

58
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: his accounts and stuff like that. But then I see

59
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: you guys, you guys interviewed. I don't want to say

60
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: the real black breast like a couple of but but

61
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: but how how is that? Like you know what I mean?

62
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 1: Like and then and then I guess it's a two

63
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: part question because it's like when you were saying he

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 1: was a billion there, did you did you you guys

65
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: are being in the financial back, did you know that

66
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: that he was wasn't he was worth it? And I

67
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: just said, I it's so crazy that you asked that

68
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: question because I was with them in l A, all

69
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: three of us was in l A the day before

70
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: Datas dropped him, and I was saying that I have

71
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: a strong suspicion because you know, people don't understand what

72
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: net worth means. You see the four blift, they see, okay,

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: you're worth two billion dollars. They think you actually have

74
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: two billion dollars money, like you like, what's that cartoon?

75
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: And due with swimming, I think you think will come

76
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: up in But really how it works, it's like all

77
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 1: your assets, right. So I had a strong feeling just

78
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: I don't know call, but just from observing him that

79
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: most of his assets was in that company, Like I

80
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: didn't feel like he had a lot of money in stocks.

81
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: We know he had a huntred fifty million dollars in

82
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: cash because kicked him out of and then he got

83
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: some real thing and stuff like that, So I was

84
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: just saying, like, I think probably ninety percent of his

85
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: money wasn't easy. It's just so happened that I was

86
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: right like a large So when they dropped to him,

87
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: now you have no more easy brand. The only thing

88
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: you have left at your bank accounts from real estates.

89
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: So that's how that four hundred million comes into place.

90
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: If you look at it, he probably got a couple

91
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 1: of homes. I think he got the ranch of Wyoming.

92
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: He owns like Popper cent and Skims, and he got

93
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty million dollars in cash that would equal

94
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,680
Speaker 1: around four hundred million dollars. So you're like, okay, well,

95
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: was he ever really a billion? Ye? A lot of money.

96
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: But it's like when you look at it, it's like,

97
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,239
Speaker 1: now he never really had two billion dollars in cash

98
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: that's in the company. And then when he no longer

99
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: has a company, now you lose everything. So it's like

100
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: a car, like if you have no money to your

101
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: name at all, Right, and then you got a may back. Right,

102
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: let's say that may back is three hundred thousand dollars.

103
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: Right now you're worth three hundred thousand dollars because you

104
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: can sell that if somebody's gonna buy it. But let's

105
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,799
Speaker 1: say that that car burns up, you don't have insurance.

106
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: Now you're worth nothing. That's how you kind of kind

107
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: of look at it as far as like so when

108
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 1: a lot of these guys, most of their wealth is

109
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: in their company, so that's what happened, we're easy. And

110
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: when they you know, when they took that away, then

111
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 1: you know he didn't have a company. He still was

112
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: a billionaire. He was a billionaire. And people's based on

113
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: projective wealth as well. Most of wealth in America's an illusion.

114
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: Most of the wealth in the world is an illusion.

115
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: It's based on evaluation. You understand when you see it

116
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: a nerve white boy throw out an idea getting evaluation

117
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: for a billion dollars in a company versus somebody that's

118
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: in the court here that is one of the most

119
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: influential people in the world. If their ideas worth a billion,

120
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: how is not his presence influence catalog and intellectual property.

121
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 1: I think the the idea of billionaires and things of

122
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: that nature is that we never controlled the evaluations, right,

123
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: like how much is jay Z's catalog and Beyonce's catalog

124
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: and how much is Kanye's catalog worth I know he

125
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: don't own full mastery of it, but he's getting it

126
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: over time. But that's sort of the question because we've

127
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: never learned how to truly evaluate ourselves. Right. I would

128
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: say the things that he has in his intellectual property

129
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: is worth the billion, right because when he went to

130
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: Adidas with that, he was making them one or two

131
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: billion dollars per year, so they lost more money than

132
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: Kanye West did. But it's not framed that way because

133
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: we don't control the media. So therefore the narratives about

134
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: our evaluations, it's not put out there correctly, right, It's

135
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: a why just think about it? How come nobody in

136
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: the court has surpassed one billion dollars? How come there's

137
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: no two, three, four or five ten billion dollars right now?

138
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: They just announced and the announced you but you know

139
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: why pick off that? Remember blow when um, when Bro

140
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: was in jail and and he was selling George George

141
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: George boy, that was Boston George, right, So if you

142
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: remember he used to sell weed at first when he

143
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: got locked up, the dude from Colombia was like, you

144
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: you're hustling the wrong product. Put on kid, so you're

145
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: on the wrong product. So we're hustling the wrong product too.

146
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: If you look at our billionaires and no disrespect, but

147
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: it's too entertainment spirits different things in that nation. So

148
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: this is why it's like I was talking Temple and

149
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: he like they say Jays he's a billionaire, but to me,

150
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: he's he's worth sixty billion. Like look at the level

151
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: of excellence that he had to reach to get to

152
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: one billion. When they got to do like Sam BigMan,

153
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: Foyd got her like he worth twenty eight billion. Nobody

154
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: even knew who he was because it's TechEd out who

155
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: got you got this interview? Who's not. What I'm saying

156
00:07:53,960 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: is you're not two separate that's worth thirty billion dollars.

157
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: You never heard of technology, crypto, different things. This is

158
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: this is, this is what we need to get more

159
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: into because it's like you can only go so far

160
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: as to ceiling. Like he said, Oprah been worth one

161
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: point five billion for ten years? How is that even possible?

162
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: How is everybody worth one billion? Tyler Perry did he,

163
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,160
Speaker 1: jay Z, Kanye wet every single person only got more

164
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: of I don't want to announce it, but that's that's

165
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: part of it too, right, So in order in order

166
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: to have the evaluation, you gotta cooperate. And so we

167
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: interviewed Don Peoples, who was one of the wealthiest black

168
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: men in real estate in the history of America. He

169
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: stopped cooperating with them, so you don't really know how

170
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: much he's worth. And if you go to other countries,

171
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: they don't cooperate as either. And so when we look

172
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: at guys like Elon must and we're like, yeah, that's

173
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: he's actually number two. Now, no, just passed him. But

174
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: what do you mean by co operating? You have to

175
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: tell them what you're doing to see what your your

176
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: assets are, right, So if you don't know my assets,

177
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: how can you evaluate through a lot of times we

178
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 1: forget that part. And so like when we when we

179
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: talk about wealth and we look at like a guy

180
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: like Ellen and what saying is correct. A lot of

181
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: the money is tied into the company. And so when

182
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: we see Tesla at three hundred dollars, right, yeah, he's

183
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: the wealthiest man in the world. Right, But when Tesla

184
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: stopped drops, you see his wealth drop as well. So

185
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,599
Speaker 1: now he's down there. I mean it sounds crazy, but

186
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: he's down like a hundred eight billion, but that's not

187
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: three thirty billion that he was about six months ago,

188
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: and so it's tied to it. But the other part

189
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: is the evaluation, and so most people forget that part.

190
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: It was like how much your company is worth? But

191
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: evaluation sometimes it's just somebody with a lot of money

192
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: telling you what something is exactly, and so that that

193
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 1: scale is dictated by somebody else. And so if you

194
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: have a tech company, they may say like, oh, you

195
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: have certain components, how much money have you generated, Oh,

196
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: you generated twenty million. That multiple can be five x,

197
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: and so you had a twenty million dollar company, but

198
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: they evaluated it out of five x multiple, that company

199
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: is not worth a hundred million. And so that's how

200
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: you get these evaluations like a hundred million a billion

201
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: dollar company, like you saw with face Clan. Face Clan

202
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: is a media company that started in gaming. Right, they

203
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: generated fifty million dollars, but they had so many different

204
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: assets under the umbrella that when the company wanted to

205
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: purchase it, they said, yeah, we're gonna give him a

206
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: twenty x mo to both. So when you do the

207
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: fifty million times twin x multiple, that's how you get

208
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: a billion dollars evaluation, and that's how you could actually

209
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: get that bigger the liquid you have to you have

210
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: to make it hit that it's not gonna so you

211
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: take it. So now you take the company public to

212
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: the stock market. There you go. That's the next So

213
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: it's levels like you know what I'm saying. So it's like,

214
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: now you realize we talked about stocks, right, and I

215
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: know if I know you tapped in right, yeah, yeah,

216
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: four thousand crypto. He told me about crypto so long ago.

217
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 1: Four thousand stocks on the stock market. At the four

218
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: thousand stocks on stock market? How many four thousand companies?

219
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: How many think is black on at a four thousand?

220
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 1: At a four thousand zero with a d of them?

221
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: What's I guess? Damn, I don't know. This is a

222
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 1: lot different. Just think about that, right, like we celebrate,

223
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: keep bringing it down, keep bringing you gotta sit boy

224
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: only plastic company, well company total. So it's like think

225
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: about that, bro, that's crazy in the stock So what

226
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,360
Speaker 1: I'm saying, So it's like that's real wealth. Take it.

227
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: You take your company public. Now you can get a

228
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: twenty billion dollar evaluation. Now you can have five billion

229
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: dollars in stocks, or a hundred million dollars in stocks,

230
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: like this is the game that's being played with Like,

231
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 1: like I said, going back to the Boston Georgian allity,

232
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: a lot of times we're just playing the wrong game.

233
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: We're not thinking big enough. Let me ask you. Obviously

234
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 1: we can't name this company, but at one point this

235
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 1: company was coming to us trying to buy us out,

236
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: and they were offering us a whole bunch of liquid,

237
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: but they was offering us so much in stocks, and

238
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: we were just like, what if this company belly up, Like,

239
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: we'll never make what we're actually worth. What we're supposed

240
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: to do, that was we're supposed to say, Yo, let's

241
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: let's let's invest in the stocks. The stocks. Remember what

242
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: the CEO said, he said, take a chance with me.

243
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a chance and taking it. I want

244
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: to say to day so bad. I think I know

245
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: the name and based on the time and of it,

246
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: especially like since the market is pulled back at the time,

247
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: it might not have been a great idea. But you

248
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: gotta look at the evalue. What do you believe in

249
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 1: the company right, especially that now that you're a part

250
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: of it, What does that due to the value of

251
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: the company, and not just this year, but let's say

252
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: ten years down the road. Right, if you're talking about

253
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: from a media standpoint, if everything is going streaming and

254
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: this company is leading in that space, right, where does

255
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: that stock go? Right? Because let's say you got the

256
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: deal and they said, all right, well you're gonna we're

257
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: gonna give you stock options at forty five dollars, right,

258
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: But in ten years that forty five stock option turns

259
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: into ninety dollars. Now you just each on each share.

260
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: But it's possible, but it's also possible. It doesn't possibly

261
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: that these people were just you know the story. You

262
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: know the story in vitamin water. Part of not really

263
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: break it down. Everybody knows fifty made a bunch of

264
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: money on vitamin water. When nobody knows is that he

265
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: invested it, not even that vitamin water. They're from Queens.

266
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the gods from Queens. So originally, like they

267
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: started the company, they don't really have enough money to really, like,

268
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: you know, so to offer these celebrities like contracts. But

269
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: they know that celebrities is a way to kind of

270
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: grow the brand. So and I don't want to get

271
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: the numbers wrong. I don't want to offend anybody, but

272
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: they want to a few people. At first. One of

273
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: the people being around our tests. They offered on our

274
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: tests the same deal they offered fifty cents run our tests.

275
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 1: Wanted a couple of hundred thousand dollars in cash, They

276
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 1: didn't have a couple hundred thousand dollars in Cad said, look,

277
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: we can't pay you a couple hundred thousand dollars in cash,

278
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: but we can't give you equity on our tests. Ain't

279
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: understand it. He ain't believe in it, and passed on it.

280
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: Fifty cent came took the same deal with took equity.

281
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: Fast forward eighteen months later, Coca Cola went and bought it. Wow. Yeah,

282
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: we haven't truly learned how to leverage and really get

283
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: into the idea equity enough in our courtship because we

284
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: want to have a hundred percent ownership instead of a

285
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: percentage of something that can tend next. Right, And so

286
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: the difference is it's like if I build a company

287
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: and I'm like, all right, by myself, I can get

288
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: it to do let's say a million dollars a year, right,

289
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: But let's say if I give away fifty percent of it.

290
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: I can get it to do ten million dollars a year,

291
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: you understand me. So what would be I don't understand

292
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: a hundred percent of a company that a partner, let's

293
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: say Troy was shot all y'all the group, I say,

294
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: y'all gonna help me, market, y'all gonna do with the branding, psduction,

295
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: the whole nine. So instead of me just only a

296
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: hundred percent of a million dollars, our own fifty percent

297
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: of ten million dollars. So we haven't learned how to

298
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: build something that didn't leverage the equity of it. You

299
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: understand me by owning a percentage of it, because we

300
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: haven't historically had nothing, we think we need all of

301
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: it to feel like owners instead of learning the actual

302
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: science of business, right, most people they build a company

303
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: and their whole ideas, how can I give away a

304
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: part of this company, right, so that it's worth a

305
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: certain amounts so that they can do more, because by

306
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: yourself you can only do so much. So it's really

307
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: just reframing the way we go about business. Most people

308
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: build businesses to sell them, you understand me. And so

309
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: when you're doing that, you're building the framework completely different.

310
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: Rather than saying how can I own this? Now, there's

311
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: generation of wealth where you build certain companies you want

312
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: to have in the family forever. Right, And we know

313
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: the Chase Banks, we know the code gates, we know

314
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: you know certain families who have had businesses for a

315
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: hundred plus years that they've been able to pass down

316
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 1: in their family and we use those as household products today.

317
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: So there is you know, value and maintaining companies within

318
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: right the family. But there's also value and giving away

319
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: equity so that you can grow that company so that

320
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: they can become bigger and they become a household that

321
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: and even even even the companies that remained like Walmart

322
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: right in the way, they still gave up some equity

323
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: because it's a it's a publicly traded company. So they

324
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: take the company to the stock market. That means everybody

325
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 1: owns a part of it. And that's what, like he said,

326
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: it's like you know when you don't use, when you're

327
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: not used to having something you just hoarded because and

328
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: rightfully so, because it's like for years we always had

329
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: stuff taken away from us. You look at Black Wallster,

330
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: you look at Freeman's Bag, you look at so much stuff.

331
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: Anytime that we had something, they took it away from us.

332
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: So psychologically we still look at like a hoarder, like

333
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: even with the information. It's like, but that's how we

334
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: change the game where it's like Tiger Woods teaching somebody

335
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 1: how to hit a golf ball doesn't affect him. It doesn't.

336
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't make him less of a up a golfer.

337
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: Like what I'm saying me sharing information with you doesn't

338
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: actually hurt me at all. That's what we didn't understand.

339
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: But but by the way, like, by the way, for

340
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: the first time I sees you brothers, I was like,

341
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: day job is way more dangerous than moms because I'm

342
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: just being honest. It's like like like like you're telling

343
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: of people like I'm helping people career. You know, we're

344
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: helping people career come back in order. You guys are

345
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,440
Speaker 1: telling people, look, you can make you money and keep

346
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: you money and you can build a whole company. Like

347
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 1: that's dangerous. But why is it dangerous? Though? Who opposed?

348
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,400
Speaker 1: It's who do we have? Who examples? We have a y'all.

349
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: Prior to y'all, who who was preaching and being cool?

350
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: Like I mean people, we just didn't respect he was

351
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: the preacher. He was the preacher that was smelling like culture.

352
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So we prop that we

353
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: we are great consumers, right, we're not great producers, you

354
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 1: understand me. We are a culture that over consumes everybody

355
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: else's everything. Even when we go buy their brands, we're

356
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: not particularly binding because of the quality. Were binding because

357
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: of the branding. Right, we want to have somebody else

358
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: name to give us value and aspiration. We haven't learned

359
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: to take that. At one point eight trillion and having

360
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: much money, we haven't spending power and turned into an

361
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: investment dollar. Once we do that, now we have the

362
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: power of an entire nation, right when it reaches nations

363
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: on the planet Earth. The problem is is at number one,

364
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: we don't have collective sense of unity, collect the sense

365
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: of ownership, collect the sense of pride. We talk about culture,

366
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 1: but curture as this word that's thrown around so often,

367
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: but don't have that much meaning. Right, It's it's decentralizes

368
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: everywhere and everybody can say they are part of the

369
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: culture because they make a hot song, not because they're

370
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: part of some values, some standards, some principles, whatsoever. So

371
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: my whole thing is like now looking at each one

372
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: of us, like, we can all be brown and black men,

373
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: but what's your ethnicity? Right, Like, what is your values,

374
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: your principles, your religion, your ideology or philosophy, what are

375
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 1: those things you stand on? Because we get it confused

376
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: because we look at each other and they all the

377
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: same color, but we all have different beliefs. Right, so

378
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: now we can't build with each other because I may

379
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: be talking about equity and ownership and building the entrepreneurship,

380
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: but your values may be completely different. But I gotta

381
00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: confuse because I'm looking at the construct the race rather

382
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: than what's our ethnic ground. So men like myself, black Muslim,

383
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: masculine man with knowledge of self, you understand me ethnically,

384
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: we don't get inclusion. When they talk diversity and inclusion,

385
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: they're not talking about people like me now, they're talking

386
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: about the effeminated version of those who believe the same

387
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: things that they believe. So they can be black on

388
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 1: the outside but white on the inside. Right in the

389
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: movies and TVs entertainment, there's no representation of my archetype. Right,

390
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: many the people who think like me, look like me,

391
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: move like me. So when you talk about it being dangerous,

392
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: you understand me. It's only dangerous because this is the

393
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: primal solution, right, and everybody else gets defeated. We make

394
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: our people producers. We're producing our own goods and services.

395
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: That means we don't have to go outside our community,

396
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: and we stay uneducated, and we stay living in what

397
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 1: I like to call financial deserts where we don't have

398
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: access to somebody who has a financial education that can

399
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: give us advice on wealth and how to build business

400
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: and how to maintain our assets. Right, then we're gonna

401
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 1: always be the victims of some of everybody else courture

402
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: who does have that knowledge. Everybody else eats off us,

403
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: the Asian man, you know, us, a Jewish man, the

404
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 1: Messican man, everybody, because we don't produce our own anything,

405
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: so that means we have to go outside our community.

406
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: So when they see that at one point eight trillion,

407
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: and we say no, let's circulate that amongst us, that's

408
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: directly also as saying let's take it off the table.

409
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: But how do we do that? Like, let's just get

410
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: straight to it. It's not wait, like, how do we

411
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 1: like I like, for instance, like I love the fact

412
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: that was it slutty vegan whenever they like whether you're

413
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: vegan or not? You know what I mean? Like, how

414
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 1: do we make more of that? So I think it

415
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: goes back to having a level of pride person foremost,

416
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: Like I feel like it's so crazy because like how

417
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: I was raised, how it was brought up, everything is black.

418
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: So it's like I still carry that with me to

419
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: this day. So like my dentist is black, my doctor

420
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: is black, my lawyer is black, my account is black.

421
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: And I'm not doing that because I'm like it's just natural,

422
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,719
Speaker 1: Like why would I not do it? And I'm not

423
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: compromising because they still qualified. I'm still like, you know, vetting,

424
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: But it's like, why would I celebrate having somebody other

425
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: than what? That doesn't even make any sense. We don't

426
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: want people that do that, like what I'm saying. So

427
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: it's like I was it's crazy because I was just

428
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: outside the hotel today and this guy ran up for

429
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: h me. He's like, yeah, I love you all. You

430
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: started talking to them and he's like yo. He's like

431
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: I was talking to this Jewish guy one time and

432
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: he told me you see this dollar and he's like yeah.

433
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: He's like you'll never have this dollar. And he's like

434
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: he thought it was a racial thing, but then he

435
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: broke it down to him. He said, look, when I

436
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: spend this dollar, I'm spending it at a Jewish restaurant

437
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: and they're gonna go to a junior dry clean They're

438
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: gonna put it in a Jewish bank. He was like,

439
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: you're never gonna see this because it's never gonna leave

440
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: our community. And they say they say the black dollar

441
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: leads in the community. I think within six minutes or

442
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: something like some crazy like I think everyone knows what

443
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: Kanye was saying, wasn't it wasn't too far fetched. I

444
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: think it's how he delivered it. But something I think

445
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: it was the first part is because we're gonna talk

446
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 1: about like building business infrastructure, but the first part is

447
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 1: you gotta how you view yourself. It's extremely important. Like

448
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. It's like, if you don't

449
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: view yourself it's worthy, then you're not going to do

450
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: business with each other. Because if you're looking at somebody

451
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: like a nigga, you're gonna treat them like a nigga.

452
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: If I'm looking at you as my brother, like my brother,

453
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: so it's like, if I see you in a certain light,

454
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be enthusiastic about spending money with you. And

455
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 1: it's not charity, Like that's what gotta get out of

456
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: that as well, Like if I'm supporting a business, it's

457
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: because I genuinely want to support the business because I

458
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: didn't have to tell you that you have to support Mercedes.

459
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: I didn't tell you had it. And it's like, yo,

460
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, you know I brought that Gucci, now you

461
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: owe me, So we only do that with each other,

462
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: Like that's funny as hell. I went to open and

463
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: BBC and I just went and I bought out. I

464
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: brought out everything, and he was like he kind of

465
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: leaned over. It was like you know, I got you.

466
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: I was like no, like like I gotta support. This

467
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,119
Speaker 1: is what I'm here for. Like what the funk I

468
00:22:53,280 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: need a hook up for? But you know I wanted

469
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: to support And it's like I forget what else even

470
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,199
Speaker 1: vent his frames like you know, um Corey, like he

471
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't open up and I just went and bought out everything.

472
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: And then it's like, you know, so many people and

473
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: it reminds me of that's how many people like people

474
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: think that they're supposed to get ship for free. If

475
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: that's if that, if that your brother, that ship got

476
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:21,399
Speaker 1: to stop. We got that's the mentality though, But it

477
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: goes back to you said, like where are we supposed

478
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: to learn it from? That's why like this moment right here,

479
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: like being on drink Champs, this is important. It's a

480
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: street with important because for so long, especially our generation,

481
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: we grew up watching right, so we watched Puff, we

482
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: watched Jay, we watch uh cash Money, we watched all

483
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 1: these examples. We saw it happening. We just didn't know

484
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: how it's happening, and we only thought we can get

485
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: it through the couple of lanes. Like if we entertain this,

486
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough, all right, we gotta do the athletes.

487
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:51,800
Speaker 1: If we don't do those two things, it's gonna be

488
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: really tough. Right until you start seeing like wait, this

489
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: is more to this, like we uncovered like yo, let's

490
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 1: look at other people and other places of the world

491
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: who are actually accumulating wealth. Right, So when you never

492
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: hear about illegal Dan Godi, but he's about the black

493
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: man on the planet, right, nobody talks about that because

494
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: he's not a force, is not putting them on the list.

495
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: But illegal Dan Godi and he got he didn't get

496
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: it from entertainment. He didn't get it from a Mason.

497
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: Mussa was like the richest of all time. He's he

498
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: got it from national resources, he got for the oil.

499
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: He got it from construction, right, like his best friend

500
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: is building power plants. They can build their own city

501
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: just from the resources that they have. Dardos Pops. Yeah,

502
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 1: you know the artists. Hell's it goes with that cooperation.

503
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: Like if they don't report to you, how you know

504
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: what they're really doing. But you've got tons of billionaires

505
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 1: who was not reporting. They're doing real things. It's just

506
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 1: that when we look in America, we're like, all right,

507
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: Robert L. Smith, Yes, wealthy is black man in America,

508
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: but not in the world. There's no shame in What

509
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: about the guy that o bt Bob Johnson? He was

510
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: he was a billionaire too. He got a divorce, yea,

511
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: that called he called he lost four million the divorce. Yea.

512
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: It goes to the mindset, right like when when when

513
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: Jay said that line, he was like, uh, when he

514
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: bought the nets, so he was owning the nests. They

515
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: were like you don't own it. But then he had

516
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,439
Speaker 1: to remind people like yo, one percent of the billions

517
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 1: more than people ever seen, said we're gonna treat it

518
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: like this everyday thing, and then he sells. Spaining is like, well,

519
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: he know he sold out, bro. He's actually merging the

520
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: company so it can expand he's now Thursday's part is

521
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 1: with the wealthiest man in quote unquote the world who

522
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: owns LVMH and so it's a strategic partnership to help

523
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 1: the brand grow. That's not hurting him, right, He's actually

524
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: showing us how to do it right now. The problem

525
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: is like for so long we watched, we watched, we

526
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: didn't get the instructions on how to do it. So

527
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: that's why when we talk about the most dangerous, that's

528
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: what this is right here. So the fact that we

529
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 1: got it from entertainers and now entertainment and music is

530
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: now looking at us like, yo, those are the guys.

531
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: This merger is important, my bad? But how important was it?

532
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: Because you know, like I said, you guys are cool.

533
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: It's different from hearing from people that's always suited and

534
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: booted and you know they're looking too too, too good

535
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: and they don't have no sins and ship like that.

536
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: You know, it's different when you're you're human, you know me. So,

537
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 1: but how important was it for y'all to like connect

538
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: with entertainers and share y'all? I mean, that's what it's routed.

539
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: The first lesson I've ever wrote on financial lyricy was

540
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: about jay Z because we grew up with him. Like

541
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,360
Speaker 1: I told you when I saw you over night, I'm like, yo,

542
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: you know he was on my door when I was

543
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: growing up. Wow, like my mom, I got to pitch

544
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm love because because that's what you meant to I'm like, yeah,

545
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: this is my guy. And so like when I was thinking,

546
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: like me and him had this connection when it was

547
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,399
Speaker 1: like we were here lyrics, we wasn't hearing him the

548
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 1: same way everybody else was. We had Billy did the

549
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: code the message, and so I wrote. The first lesson

550
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: I wrote was all Black Scott sports entertainment, like he

551
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: wrote that ninety six. The first song on Z Reasonable Doubts,

552
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: the first song I'm Not Damn in two thousand tendansee

553
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: right right, Like if we look at the people who

554
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: we think are successful with what avenues did they come from?

555
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:52,919
Speaker 1: I'm like, yo, damn. Was he profound enough to know

556
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: that that was what we was gonna see twenty years

557
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: later and then for him to change that and so

558
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: hip hop has always been us. That's why I said

559
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: this is this is really the evolution of hip hop, right,

560
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: like we watch people entertained, We've seen y'all become like,

561
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: look at that, this is business and really it's going

562
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: back to the route of hip hop understanding. I didn't

563
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: think hip hop was gonna get this smart, like like

564
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, like you know, come on, was gonna

565
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: get this dumb I'm talking about I'm talking about Maybe

566
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 1: it's totality, but I'm saying there's a lot of great

567
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: businessmen that are doing a lot of great ship on

568
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: the business wise now because especially podcasts like podcast made

569
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: it so we didn't you didn't think Russell back then

570
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: when he was doing Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm saying I'm

571
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: adding on to that. Yeah, I'm saying even the Dame

572
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 1: Dashes and things that there was always shining examples. It

573
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,159
Speaker 1: never became the predominant culture, but that was they was

574
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: always trying to make sure that they did not become

575
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: the predominant culture. Because now they can't eat off you

576
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: in this country. Right, We've always like, if you look

577
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: at the history of black people in America, we are

578
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: some of the most inventive, innovative people that have exist

579
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: in the history of time. Like it was a black

580
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: man that created the door knob, to the to the stoplight,

581
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,360
Speaker 1: to the filament in the light bulb. But you don't

582
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: think about black men and women in that respect, right,

583
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 1: because it's not narrated like that. Why because we don't

584
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: own media and we don't own the education systems. Right.

585
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 1: If we educated each other based on what our actual

586
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: contributions are and the things that we do in the

587
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: important people within our curture, that becomes our curture. Our

588
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: thing is that we are the talent, but we don't

589
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: own the talent, right, we are the curture. We don't

590
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: own the courture. So somebody else is always managing our

591
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: spirit and our energy and our bodies. I mean, but

592
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: that ship just goes back to slavery. Right. We were

593
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: the talent. We were the ones that was doing all

594
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: the production. It was a brother that was creating the

595
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: cotton gins and different inventions, but people were still in

596
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 1: the patents and utilizing your labor it's the same thing

597
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: with hip hop, is the same thing with the workforce. Right, Spiritually,

598
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: the essence of hip hop is the most influential on

599
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 1: the planet Earth, right, But financially we don't own nor

600
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: control none of that ship. Right, So if we can

601
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: keep you uneducated, then we can control you. Right. That's

602
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: what we're talking about with the contracts and the legal

603
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: leaves for us don't know nothing about that. But when

604
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: you go back to the hip hop, hip hop started

605
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: off the gods on the earth. Its started off piece

606
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: of gods. That of what's suthing, nigga, you understand me.

607
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 1: It started off with kings and queens instead of niggas

608
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: and bitches. So it reverted and then that's when you

609
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: was able to really control them because if it was

610
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: based on knowledge, then people want to learn. If it's

611
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 1: based on ignorance, then people are satisfied with not knowing

612
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: and they just get a look. So people want to

613
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: look successful, but they never learned the actual business of success.

614
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: So now we're at this point. If you look at

615
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: every other courture, their wealth standard is steeped in education.

616
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: Whether it's the Jewish, they look at education as the key.

617
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:53,800
Speaker 1: The Asian community, which has the highest, you know, grossing

618
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 1: households in America, specifically the East Indian. Education is the

619
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 1: key the way that Hispanics are growing right now. Education

620
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: so for black people in America. And I'm not just

621
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: talking about that college education that people are getting, because

622
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: that's never prepared us. Right. We've we've given that ago.

623
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: We've given millions and millions of dollars to these colleges

624
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: and we just told people to go, but we never

625
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: really told them how to attain the skill sets for

626
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 1: financial wealth, right, And what we're doing is saying that,

627
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: all right, listen, you don't need to go four years

628
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: to learn how to build wealth, you understand me. You

629
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: can learn that just by listening, sitting down with a

630
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: cult of educating yourself on YouTube. The game is changing

631
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: with artificial intelligence and all sort of things. So we

632
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: so behind. Even when we catch up, we're still behind,

633
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: you understand me. Because what we're catching up to is

634
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: the ship that people are already pivoting from. So we

635
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: have to not only be educated, but we have to

636
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: be fishing with what we do with media and what

637
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: we have right now, we have an opportunity to create

638
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: a conglomerate to where you know, the only thing that

639
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: we listen to is the things that we report right

640
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: outside the media's control by whatever forces, institutions and hours.

641
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: But when there's people of the courture we listen to

642
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: that we want somebody smart. We can find them in

643
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: the court where we want to scientists and engineer and

644
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: intellect whatever it is. We have all of that. And

645
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 1: when I said the court, I'm talking about the ethnic

646
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: background of people who share those same common values. Who

647
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: won't that liberation, who won't that well, who won't that power?

648
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: The people who don't want it, that's not my people.

649
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: They just look like me, but they don't think like me,

650
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: feel like me, a move like me. And we have

651
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: to be able to concentrate our effort and our energy

652
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: on those who are alike. And your hats hold up

653
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: a second. I got something to say. Addiction is a

654
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: treatable disease, but finding the right treatment can be overwhelming

655
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: and confusing. Shatter Proof, a national nonprofit, is here to

665
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: like what you guys said as far as the packaging,

666
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: packaging was very important because it's like the messenger is

667
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: more important than the message. We're not the first people

668
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: to ever talk about financial literacy, but we're the first

669
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: people that really as scale did it in a way

670
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 1: that was so relatable. I remember me coming up and

671
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: me seeing rich people. They have they sneakers, fucked up.

672
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: They were like they didn't really care about showing like

673
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 1: showing money, like you know what I mean. But you

674
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: also got to understand like our background, like I always say,

675
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: like I had to learn business, but I didn't have

676
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 1: to learn culture. I am culture, Like I grew up

677
00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: in like War Report. I could recite that album from

678
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 1: that ship, like even just coming here, like I got

679
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: a photograph emory source like Gumbo, but I remember buying

680
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: throwback jerseys. Right. That's so it's like not but that's

681
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: really that's really inside, that's really inside of us. So

682
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: you don't gotta. But for a long time, we thought

683
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 1: we had to compromise ourselves and like, Okay, in order

684
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: to be taking serious, I gotta change the way I talk.

685
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: I have to put it's not a wrong putting a

686
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: suit on. But if we don't want to wear a suit,

687
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: we don't have to wear like you know what I'm saying.

688
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: We can still have a very high level of intelligence

689
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: but not compromise who we are as people. So the

690
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: hip hop that's just us. So now what happens is

691
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: that people see us and they're like, damn, that's really relatable,

692
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: Like I can actually achieve that. So it's like now

693
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: the sanitation worker is on his app training stocks. Like

694
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying we're gonna in a five is it's

695
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: given inspiration because it's like for a long time, you thought, Okay,

696
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: you gotta go to Harvard. It's over your head, you

697
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: gotta be a super you know, I Q genius. But

698
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 1: we're breaking all of those barriers and it's it's worldwide.

699
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: So when we go to London and thousands of people

700
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: come out because people have been disenfranchise for a long

701
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: time all over the world, Jamaica, London, Nigeria, all of that.

702
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: It's like a pyramid, like people at the top keep

703
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 1: power to themselves, keep information to themselves, and they keep

704
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 1: the people on the bottom ignorant, and they keep them entertained.

705
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: They keep them entertained with sports and entertainment and just

706
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: you know, everyday nonsense. But now it's like, Okay, you

707
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: can still have sports entertainment. We love that as well,

708
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: but we're gonna have some education as well. And now

709
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: you he said, we went to London. I don't think

710
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: y'all missed that, the Royal Albert Hall. We're just one

711
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: of the most prestigious venues in the world, and we

712
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: talked about financial education and it was sold out with

713
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: three thousand plus. Yeah, because they well, we do. It's

714
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: not normal, but we're normalizing it, you understand me. But

715
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:52,239
Speaker 1: we still want people to understand that this is the

716
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: highest level of excellence that we're achieving as young black men.

717
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: So when we're selling out different places and when you

718
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,240
Speaker 1: have crowds of people like it is a concert outside,

719
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: because we're changing the narrative around that that has to

720
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 1: be reported and respected and observed. That's the way you

721
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,320
Speaker 1: change it, you understand me. But if it's like okay,

722
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: they just they're always doing something right, then therefore people

723
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: don't see it as special, they don't see it as obtained,

724
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: they don't see it as damn. This is a blueprint

725
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: that we're setting across the planet Earth. You know, we

726
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: may be some of the flies, young gentlemen that has

727
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 1: ever been born. You know, being from Oakland, I feel

728
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: like you know Oakland even I feel like even the

729
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 1: dirtiest person in Oakland, even the most ignorant person in Oakland,

730
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: gonna have some level of knowledge yourself. Because of the Oakland.

731
00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: Everybody knows how to know and they know how to talk,

732
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: right because Oakland is one of the Mecas of game. Right,

733
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 1: so you learn how to be able to communicate and

734
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: now to speak and how to see through the bullshit.

735
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: But also you know, the home of the Panthers and

736
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: all of the different movements. Crack came from Oakland, you

737
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: understand me. So growing up in Oakland, you learn about this.

738
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: So it's very hard to be ignorant of the way

739
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: that the world is and works, and what's your position

740
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: as a black man. So whatever you take with that

741
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: style the same way from Brooklyn and New York. These

742
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 1: are very specific and different type of places. You understand

743
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: me that whatever is brewed from there, it's gonna have

744
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 1: court you and consciousness already in it. Right, and especially

745
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: when you throw in being a Muslim and being masculine,

746
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: where you show up and present yourself is gonna be

747
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 1: with power. I'm not trying to acquiesce to the way

748
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: the standards have been before me. I want to create

749
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: something new. So those who look at me and be like, yo,

750
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: nineteen keys can do it, then I can do it right.

751
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: Like I've been through the streets, I didn't have the cases.

752
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 1: I didn't did all of the things that will give

753
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: you an excuse to be like, well he had this, that,

754
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: and the third note, I've been through the same trappings,

755
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: but it was the knowledge that got me out of it,

756
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: the perspective, the experience. So therefore we're setting an example

757
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: to say that all black men the planet Earth can

758
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: stand up and beat themselves without having to bow down

759
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: to the power structure. It's that same thing that he

760
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: was talking about sports and the table. This is something

761
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 1: that's very high on black Twitter, like like world Dion Sanders, people,

762
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,359
Speaker 1: I could taking him and I don't understand that, like

763
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: like he's he has a job to do, doesn't he?

764
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: And what what does interview Sanders um at Jackson State? Actually,

765
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: you've been on there, you've been I'll say this about

766
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: I understand and I respect the move because at the

767
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: end of the day, it's just business, like you know,

768
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: but I understand why people are are disappointed because how

769
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: it was packaged and not even he might not have

770
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: done this, but how it was package was that it's

771
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: more than business. When you take a job at Carlorado,

772
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, that's just a job. You take a job

773
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 1: at Jackson State and it's sold as you know, this

774
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: is for the and this is for the culture. And

775
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: now athletes can come and play and we're gonna support

776
00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: our own and you start to build up steam and

777
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 1: then Rick Ross is coming down there, Gillian Willow coming

778
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: down there, We're coming down everybody's coming down there. It's lit.

779
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 1: And now you've got the top players in the country

780
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,759
Speaker 1: considering going to hpc US and people donating money. And

781
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: did he told me he gonna write a check for

782
00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: a million dollars and it's more than just a job,

783
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So people looked at it like, Okay,

784
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 1: Dion sand is the most popular coaching sports right now,

785
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: he's the most popular coaching sports. But he's supposed to know.

786
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at M. I'm not mad at but

787
00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to show you how the other side

788
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 1: is looking at it, like damn. For years, we've been defunded,

789
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:34,759
Speaker 1: we never had credibility, we've been embarrassed all of this.

790
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 1: So now we're finally getting national recognition, we finally got pride,

791
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 1: We finally can stand up because it's just throw it

792
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,719
Speaker 1: out there. In Colorado is a white school. It is

793
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: super super like that. As soon as we get to

794
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 1: the top, now, all of that's taken from us. So

795
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not knocking him because he's just one person,

796
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 1: but I'm just trying to just I can understand that

797
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: some of that disappointm becomes stress. It's more than just

798
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 1: a job. Like at HBCU, at that level, it's for

799
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: the coach. What happens if his starting players over that's

800
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:08,959
Speaker 1: that's that's part of it now, right. So the first

801
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: like that's what he did at at Jackson City right,

802
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 1: Like the first thing he did was brought his family.

803
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: Like he lives there, you know what I'm saying, So

804
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: like that's part of it. So his son is there,

805
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: his daughter works on campus, his other son plays for

806
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: the team. So he brought them to Colorado. To the

807
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: thing with Dion is like he's a trailblazer, right, but

808
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 1: the trailblazer has set a pace for people to now follow.

809
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: So like, yeah, he did his job. He was there

810
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 1: one year, there was five hundred. The next year they

811
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: tendant to this year they undefeated. They're gonna play in

812
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: the ball game. He's done what he was supposed to

813
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:36,479
Speaker 1: do as a coach. He said, I'm not a leader

814
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: of a school. I'm a leader of men, right and

815
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: young women who are trying to get their education. He

816
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 1: could do that anywhere. The fact that he chose Colorado,

817
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 1: like I get it, Like for everything he's saying, I

818
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: get that standpoint, But it does that stop him for

819
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: now leading young men and women? Nah, who's next? Now?

820
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: Who fills those shoes? It's like us right, like we

821
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 1: kicked down doors right now, right, we're getting two spaces.

822
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,520
Speaker 1: Like what you said about sports entertainment and then being

823
00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: that elite, But there has to be a ladder in between, right,

824
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 1: Like we became that ladder. Like, now who follows him?

825
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,919
Speaker 1: Who's the Hall of Fame athlete or a football player

826
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: that says, you know what, Dion paved the way, Let

827
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: me go take those rings from what he did. And

828
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 1: Warren Sapp could be one of them. Right, But there's

829
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: there's a bunch of Hall of Fame, there's a you

830
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: can go down the list of names, right, but it's

831
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: like who's going to do it? This is important for

832
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: black Twitter and everybody that's criticizing to understand, right, we

833
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: love criticizing, We love throwing rocks, we love talking about something.

834
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: Of people that criticized have never done anything productive. So

835
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: it's like, instead of criticizing, he's actually done something for HBCU.

836
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 1: You could have said he could have did more, but

837
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: he did a lot. What have you done? So it's

838
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: like us, we just did a free event at Howard

839
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,439
Speaker 1: University on Saturday. Right, that's all way of giving back.

840
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 1: If whoever, if you're at Howard or if you just

841
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: in d C, come learn education, learn about learned about

842
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 1: credit yea. So it's like instead of instead of looking

843
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:00,799
Speaker 1: at this as an opportunity to criticize somebody. Why don't

844
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 1: you look at this as an opportunity to actually do something.

845
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,800
Speaker 1: Give some money to an HBCU, go to an event,

846
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: buy some merchandise, like, do something to to somebody. Like

847
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying, it's like, but that's humanity's problem. I don't

848
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 1: want to say black people, but that's humanity problem, but

849
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 1: especially black people. Now stop doing that. Stop doing that

850
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: because it happens all the time. It happens when they

851
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:22,479
Speaker 1: don't like if Nori do an interview with you, they're

852
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:24,960
Speaker 1: gonna criticize that. They don't like deon standing, they're gonna criticize.

853
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: And it's like, you spend your whole day criticize with

854
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 1: somebody and you have not done anything to contribute anything

855
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: productive in anybody's lives. So that's that's that's something detrimental,

856
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: and we got to call it out and encourage people

857
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 1: to actually help. And it's being reactive instead of proact.

858
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 1: I always say, as well, just to be God's advocate

859
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: on that one is that you know, you can't market

860
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: a revolution in the movement and then sell out for capitalism.

861
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: I think that's what people are tired of. That's what

862
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: they figured. That is right because persons individual success don't

863
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 1: matter here to the court. Individual successes you and your

864
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: family when it was about the people in the movement,

865
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: and we felt like this was for HBCUs that's why

866
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: everybody cared. So when he made that decision, he took

867
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: the movement with him. You understand me. He sold out

868
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: the movement as well for his decision for himself. So

869
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: I think that's very important that when we do things,

870
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: you understand me. Let's not trap our people into this

871
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: feeling like, yo, I'm doing this for Black America. I'm

872
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: doing this to get us like you have to also,

873
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,879
Speaker 1: so when people are disappointed because you raised their expectations.

874
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:38,319
Speaker 1: So let me tell you one thing I'm sorry to give.

875
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: Like it's like when we're in UH, we wanted to

876
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: own our ship. The reason why one of the biggest

877
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: reason why we went to vote with vote was gonna,

878
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: you know, let us own our ships. But I'm gonna

879
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: be honest with you. There for vote sales tomorrow and

880
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,359
Speaker 1: they didn't tell me. I kind of wouldn't be mad,

881
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. Even all I had a

882
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 1: lot to do with properly theirselves. I probably wouldn't be mad.

883
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: I feel like we should have something you know that

884
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: the ones us like, yo, you know has it. It's

885
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: gonna be it's not gonna be the same. And as

886
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: long as it's that because I realized now that none

887
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 1: of the most of the ship is not really friendship.

888
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: Most of the ship is business even when it's friendship,

889
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 1: and you gotta learn how to take the punches with it.

890
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: You understand what I'm trying to say, Like like it's

891
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: been rumors all the time, like vote was selling over here,

892
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I don't even make the phone calls

893
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: be like yo, I'm a little heated, Like I don't

894
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: even do that. I'll just be like all right, cool

895
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 1: if that's the fact, because that's what we kind of

896
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: signed up for business. So isn't that the same when

897
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: it comes to Dion? I know what I think The

898
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: difference between Dion and this is his the movement around

899
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: the hbc US. He's bringing these top athletes over here,

900
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 1: you understand, men, people is like finally that's dope. And

901
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:53,520
Speaker 1: the way that he pushed it out, their very inspirational movement.

902
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 1: You thought he's gonna be there a couple more years

903
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,919
Speaker 1: him going to Colorado or white school. Even if he's

904
00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: bringing talented there's bring get money to there, you understand me.

905
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: If it's an hbc U school, then we see that

906
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:05,800
Speaker 1: as a black thing. We see that as when we

907
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: talk about well from circulating the black dollar and educating

908
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,360
Speaker 1: ourselves to make that a better top tier school. So

909
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 1: this is the idea of the mind of the people.

910
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,800
Speaker 1: Everybody is not even educated to know the nuance to

911
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: the business structure of the deals. So they're going to

912
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 1: react emotionally, of course, because the way you got people

913
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 1: involved was getting them emotionally involved, right, getting them inspired,

914
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 1: letting them see this and feel this, like, Yo, we're

915
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: finally doing it over here. So I think that the

916
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: way people responding to Dion was the only way that

917
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: they knew how to respond to Dion. You understand me.

918
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: You went to a white school and got a great deal,

919
00:44:37,200 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: and for his career, that's great before the idea of

920
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 1: what he was doing to HBCUs that has no value

921
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:51,160
Speaker 1: to its real quick because I like this, I like like,

922
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 1: I feel like money of God. They can always use

923
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: money against you, and a lot of niggas always turned

924
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,280
Speaker 1: for money and we can make any of every excuse,

925
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: but if we did the same thing, we would be sellouts. Now,

926
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that if I come out here and

927
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 1: present myself as a thought leader and not care for

928
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: the people, you understand me, and then some white company

929
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: hires me Gucci, you'd be like, yo, well we want

930
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: you to be our representatives, and I make the right.

931
00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: That's never imagine that right. They give me nineteen million

932
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: and like want you to be the face I'm selling up.

933
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: So it's to me, it's no difference when you're making

934
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: that same decision. Now, what he did was great and

935
00:45:37,200 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: what he represented. I think the way we got to

936
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: communicate is not bringing these expectations like I'm a revolutionary

937
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 1: when really I'm a capitalist. Because you said the word movement,

938
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: and so when I hear it, movements required this more

939
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: than one person, right, And so when you think about

940
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,520
Speaker 1: the den situation, is it a movement or is it

941
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: a moment? Because it was a moment for Jackson. Staton

942
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 1: didn't help grand we don't know, did it help Morgan State,

943
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: did it help out We don't know because we never

944
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,360
Speaker 1: got to see the long term effects of it. And

945
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: so it was a moment, right, But it becomes a

946
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 1: movement when somebody now carries that on, right, So that's

947
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: that's how it's built. So that's what I'm looking at it, like,

948
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 1: all right, there's so many of us, and there's so

949
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: many alumni who come from these schools that never give back,

950
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: like what he said, Like there's places there's plenty of

951
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: pastigious alumni. Are they coming to support the schools? Are

952
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: they becoming boosts for their schools? Are they rooting for

953
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 1: the school that they like on TV? You see what

954
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying, and so like, in order for there to

955
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: be a movement, it has to be more than one.

956
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,759
Speaker 1: So if Dion is just the one, you take the

957
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: head of the leader, the leader of the movement out,

958
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: and now there's no movement. But you're the one you started.

959
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,799
Speaker 1: You bring other people in so that it makes sure

960
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 1: that it progresses. But now, whether he was somebody that

961
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: kicked in the door and this is always his idea

962
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: to go to one of these schools, then there was

963
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 1: always a career movement. It was never a movement. Now

964
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 1: whether that relies on his shoulder not as a different conversation,

965
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: but when we're talking about creating a successful template. It

966
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 1: has to be long term. Anything a person doesn't short term. Yeah,

967
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: person can be inspired and do it, but that doesn't

968
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: really make you the founder of the movement unless you

969
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 1: are there to usher it in for the next generation.

970
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: That's the founder of the movement of hip hop. There's

971
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: so many people that's the founders of a movement of

972
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,600
Speaker 1: hip hop who kept up to the same thing, who

973
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,840
Speaker 1: didn't go commercial, who didn't make these commercial records, and

974
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: they are not financially and what is an example that

975
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: you have for them? Let me, let me, let me,

976
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: let me rebut let people were Bro just said, because

977
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use nineteen, I'm gonna use I'm gonna use

978
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: some of his knowledge that he dropped on us a

979
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 1: well back. He said, Black people have a savior complex.

980
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: But we always look for one person coming back, Black

981
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: Jesus coming back to save us. Like what I'm saying,

982
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: whether it's Malcolm X, whether it's markets carf, whether this

983
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: whoever right, And it's like that's always told you all

984
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:51,879
Speaker 1: the time. People, I'm like, I'm not a leader, I'm

985
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: a friend. Because leaders never have to tell somebody that

986
00:47:54,239 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: their leader. If you choose to follow somebody and that's

987
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: that's up to you to choose. But I'm not. It's

988
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,439
Speaker 1: too much pressure and too much sponsibiling, and a leader

989
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,200
Speaker 1: like I saying I'm not a leader. I'm just here

990
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: doing my responsibility, just like you're doing your responsiblitybody should

991
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: be doing the responsibility. So it's like a racist run.

992
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,360
Speaker 1: It's a marathon and you you have a baton. So

993
00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: sometimes every relationship ends. Every relationship ends. Sometimes the relationship

994
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:16,680
Speaker 1: could be six months, Sometimes relationship could be sixty years.

995
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 1: But at one point is going to end. It's not

996
00:48:18,800 --> 00:48:21,080
Speaker 1: about how long it last, is about how impactful it

997
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: was while it lasted. Dion saying, is three years was

998
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: more impact food than fifty years of what most people

999
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: have ever done for HBCU. And by the way, I

1000
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 1: don't watch college football at all. The first time I

1001
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 1: started watching, but I didn't know it was so what.

1002
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is that he said, can you

1003
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 1: be a revolutionary or a capitalist? You could do both.

1004
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: We never apologized for making money because we were in

1005
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: a we're in a capitalistic society. This is what they

1006
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: put us in. I ain't I ain't choose to be

1007
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: in America. This is what I was born in some

1008
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: make the most of the opportunity that's provided for me.

1009
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: They demonize wealth and say, oh, you gotta be poor.

1010
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: And you know, somebody said on the other day, they said,

1011
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:02,880
Speaker 1: Jesus said that you have a rich man has the

1012
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: odds of a needle in a haystack of making it

1013
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: to heaven. Something like that. I said, what's the odds

1014
00:49:08,160 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 1: of a poor person? That's what they never told you.

1015
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Like, what's the odds of

1016
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 1: a poor person? Probably the same? Like you know what

1017
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying. They make it cool to be poor and

1018
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,840
Speaker 1: broke and be but like you said, nobody's coming to

1019
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: help you when you when you're a poor revolutionary and

1020
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: when you're a poor founder and now you need to

1021
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,440
Speaker 1: your teeth fix, all they're gonna say. It's not bro

1022
00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: Your time is plast So it's like you can't you

1023
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:32,839
Speaker 1: can't look at it from that standpoint because I look

1024
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 1: at like Deon Sanders can't. He added a lot of value,

1025
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 1: He added a lot of attention. He sparked the movement.

1026
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: Now who's who's turning it next? He never signed up

1027
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 1: for a lifelong contract to be Eddie Robinson the coach

1028
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: for seventy years. He did his three year He said

1029
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 1: it from day one. It's all about the money. That's

1030
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,120
Speaker 1: don't make the argument that people should have been thrown

1031
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: a bunch of money into that situation to keep him

1032
00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 1: there exactly. It was still it's still no, three years

1033
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:09,360
Speaker 1: is a long time. It depends. Three years is as

1034
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 1: different than so. But you gotta look at it like this,

1035
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: because all the men that I've ever respected throughout history,

1036
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: you understany stood on what they stood on for a

1037
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 1: lifelong mission. Once they started it. You understand me. Now,

1038
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what the rest of his life is

1039
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 1: going to be. The question that you first arose was

1040
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: about the way that people felt about it, right, And

1041
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: I believe that the way people felt about it was

1042
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: the way that he positioned it. He created the atmosphere

1043
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,319
Speaker 1: that if I leave abruptly to a white school, then

1044
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: Black America's gonna feel this way because I got Black

1045
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 1: America hopes up by the change that I was making.

1046
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,840
Speaker 1: So I don't think that it's controversial for people to

1047
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: react in the matter when you position their emotions into hope.

1048
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: You understand had nothing to do personally with black who's

1049
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: always said he was he who said he because times

1050
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:12,399
Speaker 1: that he was not much of a player. He even

1051
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: went to an HBCU just to to and he was

1052
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 1: sitting there with his new wife and baby Face with

1053
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: his new girl, and he was with baby Faces. Oh,

1054
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: they were all together, and I was like, this is gangs.

1055
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 1: I was liked, this just crack. That just cra craigs

1056
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: a prop. But but yeah, because the way you broke

1057
00:51:38,160 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: it down and the way you guys said it, I

1058
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: didn't look at it like that, kind of looked at

1059
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 1: it like the Lebron decision as posed to looking at

1060
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:46,759
Speaker 1: it as an historical black cop Lebron decision, you know

1061
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: when Lebron because everyone was just the decision, the rector decision.

1062
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: But hold, let's give it. Give the flowers flowers. You

1063
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: know our shows about giving you all your flowers like that,

1064
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: and you're gonna rebute the guy like that. Wow? Yes, wow,

1065
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: actually flower, I'm not deserving. Moving on right shout By

1066
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:26,200
Speaker 1: the way, I also believe that it's it's always dangerous

1067
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: when we criticize black man do any good. He ain't.

1068
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,240
Speaker 1: He hasn't done any wrong, he hasn't done anything evil.

1069
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,919
Speaker 1: It's just perspectives, opinions and emotions around the moves he's

1070
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 1: making because they're public. But him as a black man,

1071
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 1: the work that he's done, the inspiration that he showed,

1072
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: he deserves his flowers for that, you understand me. So

1073
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: one thing, um, I all noticed as soon as you

1074
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: walk in. Only I got on the roading right, only

1075
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: got some people. Some people will say, depending on who

1076
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: you ask, they'll say, you know, watches, this investment that's

1077
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:06,840
Speaker 1: going down. It's investment that goes up and it's a

1078
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: roller coaster. What do you guys say to people who

1079
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: who's never party, how to watch? And this is this

1080
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 1: is a fact right now, you know, just having a

1081
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: little watch just you know, you know, looking good, feeling good.

1082
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: Some of these watches going up pretty cool with it,

1083
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,840
Speaker 1: when some of them are staying still. The watch market

1084
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 1: is doing great right now if you look right now.

1085
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: Of course you know they haven't announced it, of course,

1086
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 1: but we're in a recession right some things we're going

1087
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: through some of the highest points of inflation in the

1088
00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 1: nation right now. Right Plane tickets, food prices, healthcare and

1089
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: ontitude of different things are very high. And a lot

1090
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: of the different assets that people was holding on to

1091
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 1: have lost value. Right. This is the point in time

1092
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: where a lot of people have overlayvers bought too many

1093
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:56,400
Speaker 1: assets and they end up selling. But role Lexus specifically

1094
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 1: has been a nice special case that even through all

1095
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,919
Speaker 1: of this up and down with inflation and recession news

1096
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: and stocks being down and crypto being down, the rolexes

1097
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: have held their value and increased in value. Right and

1098
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:15,080
Speaker 1: so right now, rox store, that's important. They only have

1099
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: displayed Rolexes. That's not working. Those are not no rolex stores. Actually.

1100
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: You know what's so crazy is that there's a whole

1101
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,359
Speaker 1: education with these watches that I didn't even know until

1102
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 1: nobody knows until you're actually in the space. So it's like,

1103
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: you know what the watches. What I realized is that

1104
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:34,480
Speaker 1: a all rolexes aren't made the same, and all rolexes

1105
00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: don't have the same appreciation. So like like the sky dweller, right,

1106
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 1: that's the most complicated movement. So it's crazy, it's the

1107
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,239
Speaker 1: most heavies. Yeah, so it's like that's one of the

1108
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:45,920
Speaker 1: watches that appreciate over the court. The sky dweller appreciates

1109
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 1: more than this is the presidential I have a Scott

1110
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: the sky dweller will appreciate over time more than the

1111
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: presidential um. So it's interesting with president the US. Okay,

1112
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: I got gumbaders only we we we bringing you bring

1113
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: What the rolex is is like, you know what's so crazy, bro?

1114
00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 1: Because Troy will break it down. But this is the

1115
00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: good analogy of life. And it's like when you really

1116
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: start to understand watches, you see your watch like probably right,

1117
00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: no dimonds, and it's like, thank you for throwing that

1118
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:34,640
Speaker 1: out there. Yeah you got like the sky and it's

1119
00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 1: like the watch value you would think it would be

1120
00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: done by diamonds and gold. The most important thing of

1121
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 1: a watch is the movement. So it's like that's a

1122
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: metaphor for life as well, right, Like your movement has

1123
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:53,360
Speaker 1: to always be on point. That's the most The exterior

1124
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: is what people look at. The interior is the most

1125
00:55:56,800 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: important thing. So understanding watches is like this is real

1126
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 1: time pieces his art. Like what I'm saying, like we're

1127
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 1: not just yeah, it's not just going and just saying

1128
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: I just want the most craziest whatever. It's like understanding

1129
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: and being educated on it. This is the education that

1130
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: I never received. We never received this education, right and even,

1131
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 1: like you said, even purchasing, it's like you gotta go

1132
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: on a waiting list and then you gotta purchase a

1133
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 1: watch to get another watch, build up your credit culture

1134
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: that's his game culture, and then it's like you gotta

1135
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 1: put it in the body to get work to get

1136
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:37,319
Speaker 1: another sacrifice. It's like even jewelers, like, no disrespect any

1137
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: juelus here, but I don't trust jewelers, So it's like

1138
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 1: I only buy it from either the role like store

1139
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 1: or authorized. Authorized deal is extremely important because it's like

1140
00:56:46,480 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: even Quavo, we had him here, Yeah, he brought a

1141
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: watch that it wasn't real, but it's like he no, no,

1142
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 1: it was. It was made, it was put together, put together,

1143
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: it was real. It was like it was something like

1144
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: that face with when they did the knowledge on it. Yeah,

1145
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 1: it's like that's too much speculation for four hearted. Yeah,

1146
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying that it was supposed to be a million,

1147
00:57:11,120 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 1: like like like he bought it for four hund but

1148
00:57:12,840 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: it was worth a million, that exact watch that hadn't

1149
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,120
Speaker 1: been real. Yeah. But but but it's asset. Over the

1150
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: course of time, it goes up in value as long

1151
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: as you buy it correctly, you know, factory. Diamonds is

1152
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: always you know better even no diamonds is good, like

1153
00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like these are things that

1154
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: how you look at the watch, and you can look

1155
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: at either way. You can look at it just from

1156
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: like I just want to shine, or you can look

1157
00:57:33,080 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: at it from an investment standpoint, like I gotta tell

1158
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: you part of me because you all, I'll tell you

1159
00:57:36,880 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: this crazy crazy about Richard when I went with them.

1160
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: It's the only thing I asked for rail four, like

1161
00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: I for four favor and I don't ask for for nothing,

1162
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:47,919
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you go back, motherfucker. But I say, listen,

1163
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: I don't want to buy. I want to buy from

1164
00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 1: them and the craziest ship. That's the only watch company

1165
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 1: I've ever dealt with that did not want my money.

1166
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: They wanted to explain to me why to watch is

1167
00:57:59,160 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: worth money and want to show to me the the

1168
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:04,960
Speaker 1: complication they wanted to show to me, like look, look,

1169
00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: this is a real watch. You see the ship in

1170
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: the background. You're supposed to always see it in the back.

1171
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 1: It was to always see that. That's why Paddocks and all.

1172
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: And then you know he obviously he should have on Rolex.

1173
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:18,000
Speaker 1: He was like one movement. You know, he's a French guy.

1174
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: But what I'm trying to say is like what it

1175
00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 1: was always bugged out to me because like Rolex, sometimes

1176
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: it's an investment and then sometimes it just stay the same.

1177
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 1: Is it always an investment? It depends on what you

1178
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: gotta get, what you like. Have you ever bought something

1179
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: that you because they said by it? And then it

1180
00:58:35,200 --> 00:58:37,440
Speaker 1: just so it goes back to building that portfolio. Right,

1181
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: So like in order to build my portfolio at the dealer,

1182
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 1: I had to get a watch. So I got like

1183
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: a sea dweller. I barely wear it, but it had

1184
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:44,960
Speaker 1: to build my portfolio. So the next time I'm coming

1185
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: to the store and I'm like, yo, I really want

1186
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 1: that Daytona. If that Daytona comes in, I need that, right,

1187
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: And so now I got the portfolio and people like

1188
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: this is knowledge, like you gotta learn. So I get

1189
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: to see dweller and then finally they're like, oh I

1190
00:58:56,680 --> 00:58:58,840
Speaker 1: got the Daytona. Now bout the Daytona. This is a

1191
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,040
Speaker 1: true story. Like it was at three thousand, right, I

1192
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,959
Speaker 1: bought it three months ago. It's appreciated two three months.

1193
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: So the thirty three tho dollar watches now and right.

1194
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: So it just depends on which watch you get in that.

1195
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 1: Uh it's the Oyster Flex, it's a white go Oyster Flextion. Yeah, definitely.

1196
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't got to know me, Yeah, definitely. But then

1197
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, appreciate you like that, like even like

1198
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: what you said what Cravo was like, yeah, even when

1199
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: I watched that segment, like the week later he was

1200
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: talking about not putting diamonds in his watch anymore, he's

1201
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: over that. That's why I said the education is point

1202
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: because you said something earlier. This is this is what

1203
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: it is is, Well, we don't know. You can actually

1204
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: go to a Richard Milly, you would go to a

1205
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: Paddock and you could just get on the list, right,

1206
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 1: But it's it's it's gonna be six months, it's gonna

1207
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: be longer. But but but I'm just saying, like, if

1208
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:53,480
Speaker 1: you want retail, retail, like what happens is we want

1209
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,480
Speaker 1: to skip that line. You want to take the mark up,

1210
00:59:56,600 --> 01:00:01,200
Speaker 1: but but you start going it jeweler's you once you

1211
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: When I realized with Julus is that you don't know

1212
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: you can tell me you're this diamond is I don't

1213
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: really know. I don't know because that sounds Rolex, I

1214
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: go trait the role. Actually go straight to Paddock and

1215
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 1: go straight to Richard. This watch is gonna sell anyway,

1216
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 1: so you know what I mean? Like, so why tell

1217
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: the layman who doesn't know anything about these watches? What

1218
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: gives these things the value that they have because you

1219
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 1: can't get them? Yeah, exactly, because you can't get the

1220
01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: rarity of it. Yeah. I think I think of one

1221
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 1: of the greater that they put out, the report about

1222
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 1: two three black people have zero percent wealth and the

1223
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: ideals that we have zero assets to our name. You

1224
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 1: understand me, the idea when most people we talk about

1225
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: assets versus liabilities, buying something that's an asset versus buying

1226
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: something that's a liability. One increases your network, one decreases

1227
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: your network. Let's give an example of both. Right, So

1228
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 1: a watch can be an asset, right where a car

1229
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 1: a car that say, watch could life, but historically a

1230
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 1: car depociates the moment you get off the lock. Right.

1231
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,480
Speaker 1: I know people guns, but I'm just saying the way

1232
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 1: people spend money. So let's say a person going to

1233
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: booby trap or two seas they're spending money. You understand me,

1234
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: what a stripper throwing tens of thousands of dollars, that's

1235
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 1: a liability. You understand me. That money is not coming back.

1236
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 1: It's not coming right at support in Miami. So you

1237
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: think about how much money, how much money is spent

1238
01:01:39,080 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: at the strip club. But if that money was went

1239
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 1: and put into our assets, it goes to increasing your

1240
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:47,120
Speaker 1: network because your network is going to be your assets.

1241
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: Mine is your liabilities, you understand me. So your earned

1242
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 1: income your assets, mine is your debt. Right. And so

1243
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: when you're spending some money on something that doesn't give

1244
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: you a return, that's a liability or doesn't hold any value. Right.

1245
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 1: When we're talking about buying watches or buying land, of

1246
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,919
Speaker 1: buying houses or stocks and crypto or gold, we're talking

1247
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:09,280
Speaker 1: about the accumulation of wealth through assets. So when you're

1248
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: talking about liquidation events like what Kane West, and we're

1249
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: talking about evaluation, your true value is going to be

1250
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: based on your assets, right, the things you own. Then

1251
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 1: the evaluation is saying that this is what it's worth

1252
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:24,440
Speaker 1: or impossibly could be worth. Right. So with Black America,

1253
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 1: to goal everybody should be thinking about daily is how

1254
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: can I take the money that I'm getting and put

1255
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:32,920
Speaker 1: it in an asset class. Right, most people don't think

1256
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 1: about that because we've never been educated about asset classes.

1257
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 1: We only know liabilities. I believe that we over all

1258
01:02:40,040 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 1: the assets and under audent liabilities, meaning that if I

1259
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 1: tell you about the investment opportunity, you gonna overthink it.

1260
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 1: But if I said let's go to the strip club,

1261
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: you say let's go, you understand me, so you would

1262
01:02:50,240 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: throw your money easily. Money easy story. But brands is

1263
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 1: probably the biggest liabilities that we spend money on. Right

1264
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: when we find everything, it's like when you don't know,

1265
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 1: when you don't know what to do, you do what

1266
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: you know. You don't know what to do, you do

1267
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 1: what you know. So we know how to spend money

1268
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: on jewelry. We know how to spend money and ship clubs.

1269
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: We know how to we know. That's because that's familiar

1270
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 1: to us. We don't historically know how to invest in

1271
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 1: real estate, how to invest in stocks, how to invest

1272
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: in crypto. That's foreign. So when you have a lack

1273
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: of education, what comes into fear, and especially when it

1274
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: comes to the money, you become frozen. You're not gonna

1275
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:40,440
Speaker 1: do anything if you if you this is why education

1276
01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: is extremely important. So education is actually the most important

1277
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: thing in life, because when you realize that in this

1278
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: job market right now, no matter what, you can't even

1279
01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: go outside and try to get a job, like you

1280
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:52,919
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like people are not hiring, they're

1281
01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 1: they're firing people. So it's like when you realize at

1282
01:03:56,720 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: the end of the day, the education is the only

1283
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 1: thing that can save you. And like he said, not

1284
01:04:00,240 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 1: just a formal education as far as college, but what

1285
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: are you learning. This is what we've been able to provide,

1286
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 1: is like real time education where you can actually learn something,

1287
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 1: go outside and make money tomorrow, whether you have a

1288
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 1: college degree or not, whether you have a felony or not,

1289
01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: whether you have you know, whatever or not. This is

1290
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:17,240
Speaker 1: something that's extremely powerful, and like you said, it's also

1291
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,960
Speaker 1: extremely dangerous. That's why I got to command y'all, like

1292
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,400
Speaker 1: to say our face, we can said you're into each other,

1293
01:04:23,880 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: and I will always be like, what's up, y'all, But

1294
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 1: in my mind, I'm like, man, I want to be like,

1295
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: you'll be careful, you know, because y'all holding the same

1296
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 1: importance as a Martin of mouth, cause I know that

1297
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,440
Speaker 1: we don't have these nowadays, but it's it's holding the

1298
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 1: same importance because what we have always missed is us

1299
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 1: being financially aware and like like for instance, most of

1300
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: us spend money before we have it. And what what

1301
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 1: it is is we get the money and we think

1302
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: that it's actually there, and then we start spending and

1303
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 1: then we forget that one. We gotta pay taxes on

1304
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 1: that and then to uh, you know it wasn't actually there,

1305
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: it was is there temporarily and you just spent the money.

1306
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: So how does how do you stop people from doing that?

1307
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: Like you said, it's the education, So when we see that,

1308
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,640
Speaker 1: like even having a conversation about Rodex, that's important. But

1309
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: like you come from education, whereas I was a teacher, right,

1310
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: and so I know in schools this isn't happening. So

1311
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 1: what we gotta do. We gotta create systems. We gotta

1312
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: create the Bronx, Right, I was in the Bronx. Yeah,

1313
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: so we created By the way you teach it to

1314
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: the Bronx, you gonna win the world or two. But

1315
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,120
Speaker 1: that's the point. So when we can look inside the

1316
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 1: system and know there's nothing there to help our people,

1317
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 1: then we got to create it. And so we just

1318
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 1: gotta have the courage to do it. But then we

1319
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,960
Speaker 1: leave by example by actually showing people. And so when

1320
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 1: he's talking about, hey, we got to create investments in

1321
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,880
Speaker 1: asset classes, most people like, well what is that? They

1322
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:50,800
Speaker 1: don't even know that they're doing that. They just realized

1323
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 1: that they're consumers and they spend the money. So we

1324
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 1: spend it on all these brands we talked about, were

1325
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: spending on the strip club. But we never know that

1326
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 1: we can own you see what I'm saying. And that's

1327
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 1: the mind shift change that we have to have. So

1328
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: like when we come up here to talk about that,

1329
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: that's what we represent ownership. Like the dude hustling on

1330
01:06:05,280 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: the block doesn't know that he could probably buy that house.

1331
01:06:07,720 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 1: He don't that's what if he has. You know what's

1332
01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 1: so crazy is like, so my cousin is in jail

1333
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 1: right now, he's in the fens and a few of

1334
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: my friends, but they tell me, like, yo, y'all got

1335
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: a large following this side of here, like people are

1336
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 1: really tapped in. And then I found out like there's

1337
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 1: guys that's trading crypto on cell phone stuff like that,

1338
01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:28,040
Speaker 1: Like they really tapped in. Because I feel like you

1339
01:06:28,160 --> 01:06:32,240
Speaker 1: have an entrepreneurial spirit. That's it. You just making the

1340
01:06:32,320 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 1: wrong decision. But you're making the wrong decision because in

1341
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 1: form Yeah, if you have the proper education. This is

1342
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 1: why his life with death matter as far as financial

1343
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 1: literacy is concerned, because it's like if you realize that

1344
01:06:44,600 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: you can make the same amount of money or even

1345
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:49,919
Speaker 1: more money legally. Like I don't think anybody really wants

1346
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: to be a drug dealer, but that's something that's attainable.

1347
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 1: It's relatively easy. You know, you don't have to have

1348
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,640
Speaker 1: a college degree, and you can go outside tomorrow and

1349
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:59,919
Speaker 1: beginning with some people want to know. I'm just saying,

1350
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, don't got no hope, No, let's listen, listen, no, no, no,

1351
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: But they want to be because a few things, right,

1352
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 1: the money, the attention, the lifestyle, all of that. What

1353
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,920
Speaker 1: if you can get all of those without having to

1354
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: risk your freedom, without having to look over your shoulders,

1355
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: without having to without having risk doing twenty years in jail.

1356
01:07:21,480 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: What if you can do all of that legally? So

1357
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 1: this is why when we go to Diakemond and it's

1358
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:26,920
Speaker 1: like we're on the floor and they and they've given it,

1359
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:30,439
Speaker 1: like that's important for people to see because now it's

1360
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:33,439
Speaker 1: like Okay, now you don't have to be a drug

1361
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 1: dealer to get that same level of hood admiration because

1362
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: it's important that hood love is important, like what I'm saying.

1363
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: So it's like this is what this was a disconnect

1364
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: before this corporate but the corporate people nobody ever saw them.

1365
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 1: Nobody ever saw the suits and they never so it's

1366
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 1: not attainable. They see us, They're gonna see us at

1367
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 1: some point. They might see us a booby trap. You never, no,

1368
01:07:57,480 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 1: not what but you go, that's the thing we attain

1369
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: boom right. And so the person who sat in the

1370
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: sudo was on the TV, it's like all right, schools

1371
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: this entertainment, but you turn the channel of and they

1372
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,960
Speaker 1: disappeared us. We're gonna show up at every place that

1373
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,600
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be. So if there's a event going on,

1374
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna see us there. Why because we made from

1375
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: the people and we want them to see like this

1376
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: is related. Like you said, I got students who looking

1377
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,439
Speaker 1: at me like yo, that was my gym teachers hard

1378
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: So you see what I'm saying. So they they're looking

1379
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:21,800
Speaker 1: at it like yo, that's hard, he can do it.

1380
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 1: I just wanted them to go, like, yo, this is

1381
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: a career that you can do. Right, So like what

1382
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:28,880
Speaker 1: we drive, what we were all, that's very important, right

1383
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 1: they The first thing they're gonna do is see us,

1384
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 1: like all the kids, all the kids that are our area,

1385
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,720
Speaker 1: like they all trying to be entrepreneurs or they all

1386
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 1: got merch lines, they making hoodies, they're doing is they

1387
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: try and do that because now we are the people

1388
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:45,840
Speaker 1: that they're looking up to. They're not looking up to

1389
01:08:45,840 --> 01:08:47,839
Speaker 1: the drug dealer because they didn't believe that means successful

1390
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 1: drug dealers to even look up to. Like now it's

1391
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: like then they really got they got it right now.

1392
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 1: That's why said nobody inherently wants to be a drug dealer.

1393
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: They want to be it because of the environment that

1394
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:58,680
Speaker 1: they're in and what they're seeing in the options, and

1395
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,160
Speaker 1: they make deductive reasonings and they say, Okay, this is

1396
01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:03,320
Speaker 1: the best option for me at this time. But now

1397
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 1: they're seeing us on social media a million one point

1398
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,519
Speaker 1: two million followers. They're seeing us when we're on drink chance,

1399
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 1: we're wearing whatever we want to wear, we're going to

1400
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: the games, and it's like it's a. That's that's important

1401
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,480
Speaker 1: for them to see. So now that now the admiration

1402
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 1: changes and the aspiration changes, and that's something you got

1403
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 1: how they can do it on the entrepreneurials. Not to

1404
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 1: cut your wisdom, but but that's something that's been our

1405
01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: responsibility here. Right we know that number one, the drug dealers,

1406
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 1: the old troupe like Trump rather like YouTubers are making

1407
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: more than drug dealers and rappers, understand me. So even

1408
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 1: being inspiring rapper or drug dealer, that's the old idea

1409
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 1: of success in the court um when we didn't have

1410
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 1: as much exposure. Right now, we don't say YouTuber is

1411
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: making more to the TikTokers they dancing while these catches

1412
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 1: is out there risking their life and getting more money.

1413
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 1: They may be doing Airbnb, they may be doing touro

1414
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 1: or doing credit and they're making more money ca Right now,

1415
01:10:00,680 --> 01:10:03,759
Speaker 1: there's so many different ways to create different streams of income.

1416
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:05,800
Speaker 1: You have to be lazy not to pick one up,

1417
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: you understand me. So now we are living in the

1418
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:11,280
Speaker 1: time we don't have excuses, you understand me. It's like

1419
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: and it also goes towards when you talk about being

1420
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 1: dangerous and educating our people and picking up entrepreneurship. I

1421
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 1: don't care you in the streets, you in the trap.

1422
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 1: It's a mindset thing. Right, mind skills said, right mind set.

1423
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: You can master any skill set if you can teach

1424
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: young men right how to develop the mind of a man,

1425
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,800
Speaker 1: because a man is his mind. Right, your ability to

1426
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: take ideas out your head and bring them into reality.

1427
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:38,640
Speaker 1: That's how I know if you're a real man, you

1428
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 1: understand me. Otherwise I can't tell of your mind working

1429
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 1: at all. You just chasing women again some dollars. That's

1430
01:10:44,400 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 1: low level of activity. That's easy that But what is

1431
01:10:48,840 --> 01:10:51,120
Speaker 1: the vision that we have for Black America? Were just

1432
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,759
Speaker 1: we went through Little Haiti, We went to Carol City,

1433
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,680
Speaker 1: right and we were just walking around and we was asking, like,

1434
01:10:56,800 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: what is the vision y'all got for your neighborhood? Though?

1435
01:10:59,320 --> 01:11:01,560
Speaker 1: But we get mad that gentrification. They come in and

1436
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:04,600
Speaker 1: beautify and make the neighborhood better and bringing businesses. But

1437
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:08,480
Speaker 1: gentrification is not a bad thing, and we gentrify our ownhoods.

1438
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:13,000
Speaker 1: We're taking value and we're bringing stocks exactly so star

1439
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:21,559
Speaker 1: like like after Lea got her business over there, right,

1440
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:23,720
Speaker 1: like you would look at that business and it wasn't

1441
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: black owned and say, yo, this is a sign of gentrification. Right,

1442
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,680
Speaker 1: that's not a bad thing though. So like what we're doing,

1443
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 1: we got an even in Chicago, and it's about rebuilding Chicago,

1444
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:36,440
Speaker 1: like reimagining what is your vision you have for your neighborhood,

1445
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 1: How can you see it better? And then how can

1446
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,360
Speaker 1: the people collectively in those neighborhoods put money together to

1447
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:44,680
Speaker 1: own it. Even when we're owning businesses, we don't own

1448
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 1: the building. We're paying rent to a landlord that's not

1449
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 1: from our community, right, So they have the longevity. But

1450
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 1: our businesses come and go, come and go, and if

1451
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 1: they want to kick us out to somebody that doesn't

1452
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 1: look like us, they have that power. So not only

1453
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: do we have to become man or where we want

1454
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 1: to take ownership in our environments, have control, because it

1455
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 1: ain't your hood. If you don't own it, you understand me,

1456
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:17,680
Speaker 1: it's not that's your plantation. Another type of time he

1457
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,320
Speaker 1: was on and that's that's when I think of when

1458
01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: I think of things like that, that's like it's inspiring

1459
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: to see him have that whole strip more like what

1460
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like, that's that's who we really got to

1461
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 1: focus more on is like the entrepreneurship, the ownership. Because

1462
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 1: it's like, I don't care how good you wrap at

1463
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: some point in time, people don't get tired of you,

1464
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 1: but I don't care how fast you are at some

1465
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:39,720
Speaker 1: point in time your hand, but hand not gonna be

1466
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 1: the same. Use it. Using dip as an example, Ah,

1467
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 1: he went back to his own hood. We invested in

1468
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:48,760
Speaker 1: his own hood, but that's where he died. So a

1469
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 1: lot of us is turned off by that. Someone us

1470
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:53,400
Speaker 1: to say, yo, he did the right thing. Someone as saying, listen,

1471
01:12:53,439 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 1: the right thing to do it here? Yeah, well, I

1472
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:57,960
Speaker 1: think there's a way you go about it. It's always

1473
01:12:58,040 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 1: the right thing, but you have to do it in

1474
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: the right way, you understand me. And because because I'll

1475
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: be honest with you, some people don't want to be saved. Yeah,

1476
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: I don't care how much they want to say it.

1477
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: And they're like yeah, yeah, yeah, but you put a

1478
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:15,639
Speaker 1: person in the position, you send a person a boat,

1479
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: they want a yacht. But also also I think it's

1480
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 1: important for us to gentify other people's neighborhood as well,

1481
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 1: Like why not have a restaurant in a in a

1482
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 1: white neighborhood like they do it to us, you know

1483
01:13:26,840 --> 01:13:28,400
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, so it's like, why not, like

1484
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:31,720
Speaker 1: we got this thing bigger than just the neighborhood, the

1485
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 1: whole world. I could not to say that you said that,

1486
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,720
Speaker 1: but the whole often do that though. I understand restaurants

1487
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 1: in every other place, but that's why I really don't,

1488
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: because most of our neighborhoods is in a couple of

1489
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:45,120
Speaker 1: miles radio. That's why when we're do an event. We

1490
01:13:45,240 --> 01:13:48,000
Speaker 1: did an event in London at Royal Albert Hall, We're

1491
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:49,680
Speaker 1: not gonna be in the community center. We're gonna be

1492
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 1: in the most prestigious venue in Europe because they colonized.

1493
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 1: We're gonna be first favor, Like know what I'm saying.

1494
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 1: So I feel like we should be able to stand anywhere.

1495
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: We should be able to be in Hall, and should

1496
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 1: be able to be in Tom Squire like, don't don't

1497
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 1: just marginalize us in just one area, in one community,

1498
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 1: because nobody else is marginalized. But what you want to

1499
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,120
Speaker 1: say that though, because when I went out there to

1500
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:13,880
Speaker 1: Brownsville and stuff, one thing I did notice, right, you

1501
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 1: got all these we're walking through the streets with the

1502
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:20,320
Speaker 1: Bro rube I mayror Fahim, you understand me, and some

1503
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,599
Speaker 1: other people and the young people is coming up asking

1504
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: us question like, bro, what can I do blah blah blah,

1505
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:28,360
Speaker 1: that you have people in that neighborhood that our community

1506
01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:32,519
Speaker 1: organizers they have programs that can teach and educate people

1507
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 1: financial literacy, but most people don't know nothing about it.

1508
01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 1: You understand me. You go through those same neighborhoods and

1509
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:39,280
Speaker 1: everybody wants to tell you the stories of all the

1510
01:14:39,400 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 1: crimes and the issues that have happened there, and then

1511
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 1: the opportunity that they had where they could have bought

1512
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:46,960
Speaker 1: this house and it would have been worth this much, right,

1513
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: And so the idea of owning our neighborhoods is just

1514
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 1: that like, there's assets and there's value there that we

1515
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: walked past every day and we depreciate it with criminality,

1516
01:14:57,400 --> 01:14:59,800
Speaker 1: you understand me. So it's this idea of looking around

1517
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: this saying that damn, can I own my home? Can

1518
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:04,639
Speaker 1: I own my environment? And that's something that I think

1519
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:08,479
Speaker 1: is obtainable to the average person, giving them a vision

1520
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: of why you're grinding, and giving you a vision of

1521
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: why you're hustling in the first place. It's to own

1522
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 1: everything around. When you go outside, you're traveling through Miami,

1523
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 1: how many buildings you look at and be like, that's

1524
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: the black person, look like me to own that when

1525
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:22,559
Speaker 1: I go through anywhere in the world, or whether we're

1526
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 1: traveling through Europe, whether we're traveling through the Islands or

1527
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:29,160
Speaker 1: throughout America. When I look at scottscrapers, they're not owned

1528
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:31,320
Speaker 1: by black men and women. We don't own the world.

1529
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:33,880
Speaker 1: And that's why it's important to not just think locally.

1530
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 1: Don people's saying people don't people is the only black

1531
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 1: girl state developer that had a hotel in South Beach.

1532
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:45,559
Speaker 1: A lot of people even know the Royal Palm remember

1533
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:51,240
Speaker 1: that developer, So it's like that's important because it's like

1534
01:15:51,360 --> 01:15:57,960
Speaker 1: we gotta be see what they do. Okay, thanks Mr

1535
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:03,960
Speaker 1: than you. What they what they do is they love

1536
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: they love the I used to be a financial advisor, right,

1537
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 1: so there's different levels of racism. So it's like they'll

1538
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:11,639
Speaker 1: put you in the boxes like you're the black financial advisor,

1539
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 1: you're working with black people, or you're the black agent

1540
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 1: all of your clients are black people, when every other

1541
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 1: person can work with any single person that they want

1542
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:23,800
Speaker 1: so why is it always segregated for us to only

1543
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 1: stay in one box with our people in our neighborhood Like, nah,

1544
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 1: Like if I'm I want to be able to work

1545
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,559
Speaker 1: with Taylor Swift and whoever, like you know what I'm saying,

1546
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:33,320
Speaker 1: because it's like, if you're the most educating, you're the

1547
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 1: best person, then why are you relegated to just a

1548
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:40,040
Speaker 1: small percentage of the population. That's the only only happens

1549
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 1: with black people. If you see an Indian person, he

1550
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 1: could be a CEO of a company. Nobody even thinks

1551
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 1: about it, right, it only happens with black people. When

1552
01:16:48,520 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 1: Black people have to stay within a small box, work

1553
01:16:52,080 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 1: with your own that's it. Nah, you should be able

1554
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 1: to expand all over the world if the world is

1555
01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:00,600
Speaker 1: yours and the world really should be your Like it

1556
01:17:00,680 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 1: goes the aspiration right exactly. So if you look at

1557
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,480
Speaker 1: the neighborhoods like he's talking about, even inside of our neighborhoods,

1558
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:07,160
Speaker 1: do we what do we own? Right? If we look

1559
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:10,160
Speaker 1: at anything in the beautician area, we don't own that.

1560
01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:12,680
Speaker 1: We don't own that girl, Because I wanted to say that,

1561
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 1: if you think about the idea of the project, no

1562
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 1: one owns the project. Somebody, somebody individual that lives the

1563
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 1: city right own it all, you know, like like left Frack,

1564
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 1: I've just met the person that owns left Rack, I

1565
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:30,680
Speaker 1: mean college party. And he walks up to me. He

1566
01:17:30,760 --> 01:17:33,639
Speaker 1: was like, you'vel reperd my family forever. And I didn't

1567
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:36,840
Speaker 1: know whether to take that saying what you think about it?

1568
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:40,400
Speaker 1: Felt it felt his name was left right, Yes, wasn't

1569
01:17:40,439 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 1: really Yeah, he this is this is this is the airs,

1570
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: like this is like and he's sitting there. We had

1571
01:17:46,080 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 1: a great time. We sat there, we had drinks, but

1572
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 1: it was just like it was just like hearing that

1573
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 1: like just met you. Yeah, yeah, this is this is

1574
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,960
Speaker 1: like the grandson of the person that actually owns it.

1575
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:01,560
Speaker 1: But because we're not city owned, it's like so I

1576
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: actually met It's like wow. Like but when you look

1577
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:09,080
Speaker 1: at Queensbridge, like I remember me hanging out in Queensbridge.

1578
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: This is back in the days and Donald Trump had

1579
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:15,200
Speaker 1: a letter in front of everyone's door and was like, yeah,

1580
01:18:15,200 --> 01:18:17,759
Speaker 1: I'm praying everyone ten thousand dollars to move out because

1581
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,120
Speaker 1: he wanted to knock down Queensbridge and he wanted to

1582
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 1: make the Trump Towers Queensbridge. I don't know if you

1583
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:27,200
Speaker 1: remember this, this is what happened. What happened, Yeah, I

1584
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: mean if you think about it, I mean definitely prime

1585
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: realists right on the river. You see Manhattan from outside

1586
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 1: your window, see looking at it like an opportunity where

1587
01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:39,680
Speaker 1: we're looking at it like yo, I rep here. But

1588
01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 1: that's why long the city is so kind of nice,

1589
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:45,559
Speaker 1: right exactly, because because they couldn't actually fix Queensbridge right now.

1590
01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 1: Not to say they can't fix it, but they couldn't

1591
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:49,200
Speaker 1: get what they wanted out of that deal. So they

1592
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 1: made everything around it nice and they left that ship

1593
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:54,600
Speaker 1: that's still that's fucked up. That's how they played a

1594
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: Thinking about what I just said, I tried to find it,

1595
01:18:57,880 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 1: they couldn't get it, and they said, you know what,

1596
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:01,800
Speaker 1: I'll build around it, and they left it. There's nothing

1597
01:19:01,960 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 1: like upgraded from queens Bridge other than the cameras for

1598
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:08,640
Speaker 1: the tower, the police station. Then you know what you

1599
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:10,360
Speaker 1: look at. But think about it though, because it's like

1600
01:19:10,360 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 1: all right, the favelas in Brazil saying, like a lot

1601
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:14,719
Speaker 1: of these places is prime real estate, right, so it's like, okay,

1602
01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:16,679
Speaker 1: it's gonna be difficult to knock down. Was the ninety

1603
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:20,479
Speaker 1: six buildings. It's difficult to knock down ninety six buildings, right,

1604
01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 1: but you really can't get much better prime real estate.

1605
01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 1: It's right on the water, and so I was like, okay,

1606
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 1: then they get the pepsi factory right up the world.

1607
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 1: So if we could just build or around it and

1608
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 1: then you put police all around it, so you make

1609
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:35,760
Speaker 1: it a safe neighborhood. Now it's just dangerous just in

1610
01:19:35,800 --> 01:19:37,640
Speaker 1: the area. So it's like, all right, just keep it

1611
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 1: at a minimum, don't disturb the outside situation, and we

1612
01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:44,120
Speaker 1: can keep this thing going. And that's and that's what

1613
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 1: happens all over the world where it's like, you know,

1614
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:53,840
Speaker 1: ultimately people understand that nothing's gonna stop the money from

1615
01:19:53,880 --> 01:19:56,439
Speaker 1: being made, right, Like, nothing's gonna stop the money from

1616
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:58,400
Speaker 1: being made. This is what people gotta understand. Like we're

1617
01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:00,120
Speaker 1: in America. That's why I don't really get into like

1618
01:20:00,760 --> 01:20:03,960
Speaker 1: this capitalistic conversation all that, because this is America. At

1619
01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 1: the end of the day, of course we're gonna be capitalists.

1620
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:07,880
Speaker 1: This is this is what this country is built on.

1621
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:09,880
Speaker 1: This is what this whole world is built on. Like

1622
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:11,400
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So at the end of the day,

1623
01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 1: you either participate or you become a victim. But but

1624
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,519
Speaker 1: how much we have to also understand that we're still

1625
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 1: suffering the effects of colonialism to this day colonialism, which colonialism.

1626
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 1: You know, I believe in being rich and righteous, donable

1627
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 1: mental as far Con says something to the tune about

1628
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 1: being righteous capitalists right to where the idea of having

1629
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:39,200
Speaker 1: wealth and obtaining economic power, you understand me, it's key.

1630
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: That's always been something that all of our leaders throughout

1631
01:20:42,080 --> 01:20:44,840
Speaker 1: time have talked about. But it's making sure that there

1632
01:20:44,920 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 1: is integrity and what we do right and making sure

1633
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 1: that there's righteousness and morals and everything that we do.

1634
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 1: Otherwise we will move just for the money. You understand men,

1635
01:20:54,560 --> 01:20:56,400
Speaker 1: When you move just for the money, you have to

1636
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 1: sell yourself. You will sell your people out right. And

1637
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:02,040
Speaker 1: this is what we've seen throughout time. We haven't seen

1638
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:05,920
Speaker 1: righteous capital to what we're talking about making money but

1639
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,799
Speaker 1: attached to a social good, right Like, there's many different

1640
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 1: types of entrepreneurship and ways to make money. And with

1641
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: us being some of the most creative people on the

1642
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:17,880
Speaker 1: planet Earth, you understand me, Like what we do and

1643
01:21:17,960 --> 01:21:20,559
Speaker 1: we have products of health and financial literacy and we're

1644
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:24,160
Speaker 1: throwing events, and we're creating shows. All of these are

1645
01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:27,320
Speaker 1: attached to social goods, but we're making money. You understand

1646
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 1: me why because we have knowledge of marketing, knowledge of branding, right,

1647
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 1: we have knowledge of sales, knowledge of design, knowledge of

1648
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: financial literacy and media and content creation. So we can

1649
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,640
Speaker 1: utilize our knowledge and creativity, but it's also gonna be

1650
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 1: trajected to where our character is as well and where

1651
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: my passion is, which for me particularly is for our people.

1652
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:50,720
Speaker 1: So I believe that there's an easy way to where

1653
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 1: your people can benefit off the goods that you do,

1654
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 1: but also you can do global business. As my brother said,

1655
01:21:56,439 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 1: when we're talking about starting locally, there's so many people

1656
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: who may never go outside the country. So just giving

1657
01:22:02,960 --> 01:22:05,080
Speaker 1: them a vision of owning their neighborhood is for the

1658
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: people that's not leaving their neighborhood, you understand me. Then

1659
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:10,880
Speaker 1: you have people that excel beyond those and be like, well,

1660
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 1: I want to own restaurants and I want to franchise,

1661
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:16,679
Speaker 1: or I want to do you know, global real estate

1662
01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,640
Speaker 1: and have you know property in Africa and property in

1663
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:22,880
Speaker 1: these different islands. Right, that's a different type of game.

1664
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 1: So you know, with us, it always feels like we're

1665
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:29,680
Speaker 1: starting that from scratch. You understand me where we are

1666
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 1: right now, But really we don't have to. We're living

1667
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:34,760
Speaker 1: in the greatest time of having the greatest resources and

1668
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 1: technology on the planet Earth, and it takes a few

1669
01:22:37,560 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 1: good men to do it. If we look at the

1670
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 1: culture right now, there's somebody that can take a check

1671
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:45,640
Speaker 1: and be like, I can buy every major podcast in

1672
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:48,719
Speaker 1: the courture right, and that check and go a cross

1673
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:51,160
Speaker 1: over a billion, you understand me, Which means that they

1674
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:53,640
Speaker 1: can own all the black media at a snap of

1675
01:22:53,720 --> 01:22:56,200
Speaker 1: their fingers if they wanted to. The question is how

1676
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 1: much is black media worked? Right? Because we get to

1677
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:02,400
Speaker 1: control of the idea, is the narratives, the belief systems,

1678
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:04,760
Speaker 1: the imaging that is put out there in front of

1679
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 1: our people. It's a reason that they control it because

1680
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,719
Speaker 1: they understand if I can project that into your mind,

1681
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:12,439
Speaker 1: into your woman's mind, then y'all gonna get birth to

1682
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:15,720
Speaker 1: whatever reality that I tell y'all is real. You understand me.

1683
01:23:15,800 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 1: So now is up to us to where Thank you

1684
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 1: all for having us on. We're having high level conversations.

1685
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 1: Before I started high level conversations, and we're getting millions

1686
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: of views. People were saying that that's not gonna work.

1687
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:28,600
Speaker 1: People not gonna want to sit for long term and

1688
01:23:28,720 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 1: listen to high level, in depth intellectual conversations below and behold,

1689
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:34,560
Speaker 1: we have to show them how to do it the

1690
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 1: right way. So if we take consciousness and education as

1691
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: a luxury, so instead, okay, well let's present it in

1692
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:44,320
Speaker 1: the luxurious manner. Let's make it aspirational. Let's make it

1693
01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 1: something you want to obtain, right, because most men don't

1694
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 1: see being a man, standing up for yourself, getting money right,

1695
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 1: having social influence and power as their true goal. They

1696
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 1: just want some money and some holes and they're happy.

1697
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 1: So the integrity and the character is missing in our courture.

1698
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:09,920
Speaker 1: So you're not going to get us people. But but

1699
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,640
Speaker 1: but but you're not going to get us as a

1700
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: people to make any real strides the type that we

1701
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 1: we innately want to sit. It like there's a spirit.

1702
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:21,160
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are, there's a spirit of us.

1703
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:24,160
Speaker 1: They just wish we just came together. They just wish

1704
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:26,720
Speaker 1: we did that. They don't have to be wishes. If

1705
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 1: you have real men and women, you understand me, Like

1706
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:33,639
Speaker 1: there's like a wish is you know goal without work?

1707
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 1: You understand me. If we put that work in, then

1708
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 1: there's no more wishes. They're just reality. So when we're

1709
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:42,160
Speaker 1: talking about is educating you on how to do it.

1710
01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 1: Once you have the knowledge, how you're now accountable for

1711
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,639
Speaker 1: either being lazy or giving birth. Right, a man's mind

1712
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:51,599
Speaker 1: is his womb. Right. If you have an idea here,

1713
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:53,800
Speaker 1: you don't give birth to it, that's because you aborted it.

1714
01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: Procrastination is the abortion clinic of ideas. Right, you have

1715
01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 1: an idea, but do you have the wilfulness? Do you

1716
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 1: have the intent? Do you have the knowledge to go

1717
01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 1: bring that into me? I ain't saying whether it's hard

1718
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:07,839
Speaker 1: or not. A man is meant to go do challenges.

1719
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 1: He is meant to go through the darkness. He is

1720
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,479
Speaker 1: meant to go through all of that and still project

1721
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:14,679
Speaker 1: his reality because look at every other man and woman

1722
01:25:14,720 --> 01:25:17,240
Speaker 1: they've done it. You don't think they had challenges. You

1723
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:19,240
Speaker 1: don't think that they went through some of the hardest

1724
01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:22,240
Speaker 1: routes in the world. No, but each one of these

1725
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:25,920
Speaker 1: ideas is small to who we are. Right, our power

1726
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:29,479
Speaker 1: as God's our powers, men and women as kings and

1727
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 1: queens on this planet Earth. That means that you can't

1728
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 1: tell me if we believe that we were the comedic

1729
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: people that built the pyramids, and the Mansa Musa's you

1730
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:40,519
Speaker 1: understand me and the Hannibal Barkers, the father of military

1731
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 1: genius in the two Saints around the world come on

1732
01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:47,040
Speaker 1: something like owning our neighborhood and owning some shy scrapers.

1733
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:49,800
Speaker 1: That should be a snap of a finger before people

1734
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 1: who know who they are. But that goes to the exposure, right,

1735
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 1: So the exposure plus the education, when you put those

1736
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:57,679
Speaker 1: two things together, they see it and now they educate

1737
01:25:57,720 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 1: on it. Now it becomes something that's super attainable. That's

1738
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: why they have to see us do it. They gotta

1739
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 1: see y'all do it, because it's like, wait, we sold

1740
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:05,720
Speaker 1: him in one avenue, but now we've seen them doing this.

1741
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:14,200
Speaker 1: It's a complete evolution. Well yeah, yeah, let's talk about

1742
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 1: Yea said that he wanted to build a community that

1743
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:20,519
Speaker 1: was fully self sufficient, that nothing outside will come in

1744
01:26:20,600 --> 01:26:23,040
Speaker 1: the community or go out of the community. It sounds

1745
01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 1: like a good idea back there. What you let me

1746
01:26:25,400 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 1: ask you this because I watched the whole interview. I

1747
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:31,680
Speaker 1: watched the whole interview. Um, what was your thoughts reflecting

1748
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:34,760
Speaker 1: on that situation. What's your thoughts on that situation? The

1749
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 1: George Floyd Park went over my head because most of

1750
01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:42,479
Speaker 1: the time that was like in the first fifteen minutes

1751
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:44,960
Speaker 1: of the interview, like first five minutes thing. It might

1752
01:26:45,000 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 1: be even the first five minutes. And one of the

1753
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 1: things that I always get critiqued about, it's like cutting

1754
01:26:49,320 --> 01:26:52,600
Speaker 1: people off. So I was sitting there just trying to

1755
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 1: let him kind of talk. But I realized that that's

1756
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:59,880
Speaker 1: the time I should have cut him, but I didn't.

1757
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't see that to the next day.

1758
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,599
Speaker 1: The next day because it was like, yo, he basically asked,

1759
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 1: you can be filmed today, and but by the way,

1760
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot if I would documentary everything that happened, when,

1761
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: when when, But when his name was brought up, that

1762
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:29,000
Speaker 1: was the least of our concerned because like he had

1763
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 1: compared him tomorrow the king at one point, and it

1764
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:34,559
Speaker 1: was just like it was just all over the place.

1765
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:40,920
Speaker 1: Had I been able to sit back and analyze it

1766
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 1: a little bit more, because really what it was, I'm

1767
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 1: being honest, this is the first time I've been addressing

1768
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 1: this question, and I would love to do so, like

1769
01:27:50,000 --> 01:27:52,639
Speaker 1: we kind of like felt snubbed a little bit because well,

1770
01:27:52,800 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 1: well let me say me, let me not throw you

1771
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:58,400
Speaker 1: in it in there like probably gonna win the BT Award.

1772
01:27:58,760 --> 01:28:04,240
Speaker 1: God blessed with somebody who just got six episodes, you know, yeah,

1773
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:07,200
Speaker 1: so God bless that, God bless god, God blessed short

1774
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:09,720
Speaker 1: because that's not her, that's not how fall at all.

1775
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:12,719
Speaker 1: But at the same token, it's like, all right, cool,

1776
01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:15,360
Speaker 1: we wanted so I was supposed to when I got

1777
01:28:15,400 --> 01:28:18,760
Speaker 1: the phone, go, I was let me relax because it

1778
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:21,160
Speaker 1: was something about his energy that wasn't like the same.

1779
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 1: But he didn't want me. He didn't. He didn't He

1780
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:26,080
Speaker 1: didn't say you almost say this. He didn't say I

1781
01:28:26,200 --> 01:28:29,200
Speaker 1: want this. We already knew what time, Nah, I knew,

1782
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:34,640
Speaker 1: but I wasn't thinking it. So that's my take on

1783
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:36,519
Speaker 1: it was like after looking at it, and I have

1784
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:38,400
Speaker 1: to see it because the thing is, I'm not even

1785
01:28:38,520 --> 01:28:43,519
Speaker 1: hurting people. When I was, you know, I both brought

1786
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 1: up the war report. You know, that was that was

1787
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:47,720
Speaker 1: the time in my life. You know, I grew that

1788
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:50,599
Speaker 1: and I love who I am right now. I make

1789
01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:54,400
Speaker 1: people happy. People see me, what's some story? People think

1790
01:28:54,439 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 1: they know me, even both people those people who meet me.

1791
01:28:57,960 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 1: They never even met me. They just see me and

1792
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:02,360
Speaker 1: be like, you know, was top bro, and they I

1793
01:29:02,520 --> 01:29:06,360
Speaker 1: like to remain that person. And that took away and

1794
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 1: which a lot of people don't know, it was him

1795
01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:12,960
Speaker 1: who told me to take it down. It was him

1796
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 1: who told me to take it. I mean, I didn't

1797
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:17,519
Speaker 1: feel like that it should have been public information because

1798
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:20,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't like he said, yo, take it down and

1799
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,600
Speaker 1: to tell everyone to be public about it. But he

1800
01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:24,080
Speaker 1: was like yo. I was like, yo, I want to

1801
01:29:24,120 --> 01:29:25,800
Speaker 1: take the George Floyd part out and I want to

1802
01:29:25,840 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 1: take out you know, such a such part out. And

1803
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 1: he was like, well, if you gotta take it out,

1804
01:29:29,400 --> 01:29:31,760
Speaker 1: then you know, take it all down. And I was

1805
01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:34,400
Speaker 1: just like alright, cool. And by the way, we could

1806
01:29:34,400 --> 01:29:36,240
Speaker 1: have been assholes. We could have still made money off

1807
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,840
Speaker 1: of this. That interview is still all over the place,

1808
01:29:38,920 --> 01:29:41,920
Speaker 1: but we didn't want to make money because the fact

1809
01:29:42,040 --> 01:29:44,559
Speaker 1: is the word got back that George Floyd family said

1810
01:29:44,600 --> 01:29:47,840
Speaker 1: that we said it mm hmm. Like you know, as

1811
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:51,479
Speaker 1: a journalist, I've seen Oprah interview Cus Klan. She didn't

1812
01:29:51,479 --> 01:29:53,519
Speaker 1: pull hard and if you're down, you know what I'm saying,

1813
01:29:53,520 --> 01:29:55,400
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen that so as a journalist, and

1814
01:29:55,439 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 1: not to mean you agree with everything that as a journalist.

1815
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:01,479
Speaker 1: As a journalist, I didn't nothing wrong. As the person

1816
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:03,240
Speaker 1: who has more rols, a person that stands with my

1817
01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:05,439
Speaker 1: black community, I felt like I let him down. So

1818
01:30:05,560 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 1: I felt like, you know, something like that. But I

1819
01:30:12,120 --> 01:30:13,560
Speaker 1: feel like this is deep, this is deep. It's the

1820
01:30:13,560 --> 01:30:20,320
Speaker 1: first time we talk about it. Let's go up. That

1821
01:30:20,479 --> 01:30:25,040
Speaker 1: moment was historical regardless, right, Everything that transpired from that

1822
01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 1: moment was historical. I think it's a it's a key

1823
01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:31,240
Speaker 1: lesson in that though, because the reason kind of came

1824
01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:34,360
Speaker 1: to y'all because he wanted the media platform you understand me,

1825
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:38,479
Speaker 1: specifically one of the black media platform. It's not easy

1826
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:41,639
Speaker 1: for when the black man does do something that goes

1827
01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:44,920
Speaker 1: against the grain to also have a platform, right, right,

1828
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:47,920
Speaker 1: So it's very important that both didn't tell me to

1829
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:50,120
Speaker 1: take it down. By the way, both didn't tell us,

1830
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:51,920
Speaker 1: but they laughed at us when he was like, yeah,

1831
01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:59,519
Speaker 1: because they told us, dope put it up. Really, that's

1832
01:30:59,560 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 1: keep everybody didn't tell y'all to take it down because

1833
01:31:03,080 --> 01:31:05,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people blame revolt when revolts still put

1834
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:08,320
Speaker 1: it out there because the idea was to give a

1835
01:31:08,520 --> 01:31:11,559
Speaker 1: voice you understand me in the platform, whether you agree

1836
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 1: with it or not. He went on Piers morgane all

1837
01:31:15,439 --> 01:31:21,760
Speaker 1: of the other that was that none of those people

1838
01:31:21,880 --> 01:31:27,040
Speaker 1: because until globhouse, regular traditional media giving voices you understand

1839
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 1: me and black me, that everybody wants to control our voice. Right.

1840
01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:34,360
Speaker 1: We try to bully each other, right, even getting the

1841
01:31:34,479 --> 01:31:37,200
Speaker 1: suit that's bullying each other, because we don't try to

1842
01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 1: bully other people because we know they got back up

1843
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 1: in power, right, and we do that ain't definitely we

1844
01:31:48,000 --> 01:31:52,439
Speaker 1: do that neighborhoods, right, We bully each other because we

1845
01:31:52,600 --> 01:31:55,360
Speaker 1: know you ain't got back up and touched that white

1846
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:58,120
Speaker 1: boy touched that cop because they got back That's the

1847
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:00,800
Speaker 1: same thing with everybody else in their net works. So

1848
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:03,160
Speaker 1: I think that in that moment, we have to understand

1849
01:32:03,200 --> 01:32:06,080
Speaker 1: that black media is still in an infantile stage as

1850
01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:09,240
Speaker 1: far as us having these platforms. So moments like that

1851
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:12,439
Speaker 1: were historical and set precedents that, No, we can have

1852
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:16,360
Speaker 1: conversations even when we are of disagreement. We can make

1853
01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:19,800
Speaker 1: mistakes on our platform, right, but we don't have to

1854
01:32:19,920 --> 01:32:22,800
Speaker 1: be canceled. You understand me, And seeing like we're being

1855
01:32:22,920 --> 01:32:27,479
Speaker 1: criminalized and shunned and crucified. No Black men have the

1856
01:32:27,600 --> 01:32:30,240
Speaker 1: right to have their voice, whether you disagree or agree

1857
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:33,160
Speaker 1: with it, and that's something that America never let us have.

1858
01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:35,600
Speaker 1: But I think I think to have to have my

1859
01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:40,479
Speaker 1: two cents to it. Um Sometimes sometimes I think in

1860
01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:43,960
Speaker 1: that documentary they are Kanye's mom said it's hard for

1861
01:32:44,000 --> 01:32:46,240
Speaker 1: a giant to see himself in the mirror some something

1862
01:32:46,280 --> 01:32:49,000
Speaker 1: to that effect. And I feel like it's hard for

1863
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:52,240
Speaker 1: us to fully understand how powerful we are because we're

1864
01:32:52,280 --> 01:32:55,479
Speaker 1: in it. So like for you guys, I don't even

1865
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:58,360
Speaker 1: think you might not even fully understand how important your

1866
01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:02,840
Speaker 1: platform is, even if you know. You know, I was

1867
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:06,680
Speaker 1: ignored this. What I'm saying is that when I looked

1868
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:08,360
Speaker 1: at the interview, I looked at it like he was

1869
01:33:08,439 --> 01:33:10,680
Speaker 1: coming to you guys to talk about a lot of

1870
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 1: serious issues. And I feel like it was a little

1871
01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:17,880
Speaker 1: lighthearted sometimes even with the shots or like the hip

1872
01:33:17,920 --> 01:33:20,720
Speaker 1: hop conversations, and I feel like, because you probably looking,

1873
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:22,280
Speaker 1: it was just a regular inter Yeah, I mean this

1874
01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:24,720
Speaker 1: is drink champs. Yeah. The day, I want you all

1875
01:33:24,720 --> 01:33:26,080
Speaker 1: to be as comfortable as y'all could be. By the

1876
01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:28,920
Speaker 1: end of the day, I'm still gonna try get sometime sometime.

1877
01:33:32,800 --> 01:33:35,479
Speaker 1: But you said a key word, you said journalists. Yeah,

1878
01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:38,800
Speaker 1: I was just gone. So it's like, I don't like

1879
01:33:38,920 --> 01:33:41,600
Speaker 1: saying I don't like considering that you are not well.

1880
01:33:43,960 --> 01:33:47,280
Speaker 1: I feel like so when comes on, he's looking at Okay,

1881
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:50,439
Speaker 1: this is a platform where I could reach millions of people,

1882
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 1: and it's hip hop culture. It's my peers, here's my thing,

1883
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:57,439
Speaker 1: here's my thing. Our last interview, he kind of like

1884
01:33:57,520 --> 01:34:00,160
Speaker 1: warmed me what he wanted to talk about. So I

1885
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:02,000
Speaker 1: was prepared for that. How he would have said, Yo,

1886
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, I would have would hit eighteen keys, I'm

1887
01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna hit you know what I'm saying, Like he has

1888
01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 1: something people there that is knowledgeable or just political, because

1889
01:34:13,600 --> 01:34:16,920
Speaker 1: when it goes political and it goes deep, it's a

1890
01:34:16,960 --> 01:34:18,439
Speaker 1: little bit too much for me, you know what I

1891
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:23,599
Speaker 1: mean in a certain stance, Like I know my strengths, right,

1892
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:25,760
Speaker 1: But I felt like when he came he looked at

1893
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:28,240
Speaker 1: it like this is a safe place for me. That's

1894
01:34:28,280 --> 01:34:32,120
Speaker 1: definitely right. And it was. And it doesn't mean let

1895
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:33,439
Speaker 1: me just tell you something. Let me just tell you something.

1896
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:37,320
Speaker 1: One of the biggest compliments I've ever had was after

1897
01:34:37,360 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 1: I interviewed Kanye the first time, and we went to

1898
01:34:40,120 --> 01:34:43,599
Speaker 1: a Prime one twelve and all the black women came

1899
01:34:43,680 --> 01:34:45,960
Speaker 1: up to him and said hi, and he was like,

1900
01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:48,960
Speaker 1: this is the first time black women to say and

1901
01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:52,240
Speaker 1: I was just like, what this is? Like? I was

1902
01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:54,560
Speaker 1: blown away because he was like, Yo, this is what

1903
01:34:54,680 --> 01:34:57,360
Speaker 1: you gave to me. So I was like, oh, it

1904
01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:01,240
Speaker 1: was like, you gave me my people back exactly. So

1905
01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 1: so he just kept like this before you finish your point.

1906
01:35:08,960 --> 01:35:12,479
Speaker 1: There's something to appreciate about that interview as well, because

1907
01:35:12,600 --> 01:35:14,839
Speaker 1: the George fourth thing that happened in the first five minutes,

1908
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:17,479
Speaker 1: and I feel like that was an easy, low hanging

1909
01:35:17,560 --> 01:35:21,479
Speaker 1: fruit to serve to the population while ignoring the other

1910
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:25,240
Speaker 1: of the interview, right because now you don't have to

1911
01:35:25,320 --> 01:35:28,559
Speaker 1: have real discussions on the point points truth and facts

1912
01:35:28,640 --> 01:35:31,200
Speaker 1: that he actually brought up. And the reason that he

1913
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:33,800
Speaker 1: was happy that he came on there and you gave

1914
01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:38,560
Speaker 1: him a platform to speak truth, be revolutionary in his thought, unfiltered,

1915
01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:40,840
Speaker 1: and his people loved him for that. So he wanted

1916
01:35:40,880 --> 01:35:43,679
Speaker 1: to come back and do the same thing. In his mind,

1917
01:35:43,720 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 1: he was doing that and so and the rest of

1918
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:49,960
Speaker 1: the interview, whether you agree with that part or disagree,

1919
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:52,200
Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. We have to get to a point

1920
01:35:52,240 --> 01:35:55,000
Speaker 1: as a people where we're not distracted by the things

1921
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:57,439
Speaker 1: that we disagree with, but we have commonality on the

1922
01:35:57,520 --> 01:36:01,120
Speaker 1: things that we do agree with. Like sorry to cut

1923
01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:05,519
Speaker 1: you off, but he said I can say some such

1924
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:08,840
Speaker 1: and such things, but he never actually said it. He didn't.

1925
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:12,000
Speaker 1: He was and that was his goal, wasn't it. His

1926
01:36:12,160 --> 01:36:14,400
Speaker 1: goal was to get out of the contract. I think

1927
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:17,519
Speaker 1: that people make it seem like just dry dropped him.

1928
01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:20,920
Speaker 1: He said years before, he said, weeks before. I'm trying

1929
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:23,240
Speaker 1: to get out this deal. They're doing me wrong. So

1930
01:36:23,560 --> 01:36:26,479
Speaker 1: for me, it looks like a strategy. Right. You can

1931
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:29,120
Speaker 1: call it crazy, but the reality of it is you

1932
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:32,320
Speaker 1: have a goal, you do something, and then you successfully

1933
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:34,719
Speaker 1: get that and then everybody call you a faiure forward.

1934
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:37,920
Speaker 1: That doesn't make sense to me because if you can't

1935
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:41,200
Speaker 1: control the narrative of what just happened, everybody else puts

1936
01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:43,479
Speaker 1: their spin on it. That's what he was talking. I

1937
01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 1: just want to go back to that point about journalism,

1938
01:36:45,400 --> 01:36:47,479
Speaker 1: because that's how you gotta like when people said that

1939
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 1: about that's at first, I'm like, no, bro, Like I'm

1940
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:51,519
Speaker 1: just educated, bro, I'm just doing my job, but like

1941
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:55,200
Speaker 1: you're actually creating a platform where this is journalism. He

1942
01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:57,479
Speaker 1: came here, it was for a safe space. He said

1943
01:36:57,520 --> 01:36:58,880
Speaker 1: some things that you may not agree with, but you

1944
01:36:58,920 --> 01:37:01,400
Speaker 1: allowed him the space to say it. And so inside

1945
01:37:01,439 --> 01:37:03,240
Speaker 1: of it, it was like, well, what is your job

1946
01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:05,880
Speaker 1: now to dude? Are you supposed to, like, hey, review

1947
01:37:05,960 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 1: him or letting him speak, because that's what the journalists

1948
01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:11,280
Speaker 1: will do. A train journalist has the tools to rebuttle. Yeah.

1949
01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:14,200
Speaker 1: But but sometimes but the strangers knowing, like you know

1950
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:17,040
Speaker 1: that times that might not be my strength. You see

1951
01:37:17,080 --> 01:37:18,920
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's like I can't interview are Kelly?

1952
01:37:19,320 --> 01:37:22,080
Speaker 1: Come on man? Kelly said what's the camera? Where's the camera?

1953
01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:25,640
Speaker 1: I would have walked out like like that's not my

1954
01:37:25,840 --> 01:37:32,280
Speaker 1: strength some minutes. That's what I'm saying. Talk to anybody. Yeah,

1955
01:37:33,080 --> 01:37:35,840
Speaker 1: probably talk to anybody. But the part was what you're

1956
01:37:35,840 --> 01:37:37,280
Speaker 1: saying is I was gonna lose to it. It was

1957
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:39,880
Speaker 1: like to get my people back right. So for so

1958
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:41,720
Speaker 1: long he's been in that space where it was like, yo,

1959
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:44,160
Speaker 1: he's he's talking with this is what he's saying. He

1960
01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:46,519
Speaker 1: doesn't like, he doesn't a pot black people, But where's

1961
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:47,840
Speaker 1: the one place I can go, I can get him

1962
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:51,320
Speaker 1: back like this and that was you right, And so

1963
01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:53,680
Speaker 1: it was like, it's interesting that you set that part

1964
01:37:53,720 --> 01:37:55,200
Speaker 1: like when you went outside, and it was like he

1965
01:37:55,320 --> 01:37:57,519
Speaker 1: felt that because he knew intentively, like this is the

1966
01:37:57,520 --> 01:38:00,720
Speaker 1: p to see it myself. Yeah, And it wasn't just

1967
01:38:00,840 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 1: regular black woman. It was a couple of the big

1968
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:06,439
Speaker 1: black woman and that's you know, that's real black woman.

1969
01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:08,080
Speaker 1: When you got you know what I mean, have he

1970
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:11,200
Speaker 1: said black woman, that's Mama's right there, Like he was like,

1971
01:38:11,479 --> 01:38:13,200
Speaker 1: that's what he said to me. He was like, Mama's

1972
01:38:14,040 --> 01:38:16,479
Speaker 1: all right. Cool. You know, since Kim black woman hasn't

1973
01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:19,560
Speaker 1: really fucked with me. But then but I've seen that

1974
01:38:20,040 --> 01:38:23,479
Speaker 1: Mama's I was like, holy sh it because I'm like,

1975
01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:25,760
Speaker 1: they hardly funk with me because I love and hip hop.

1976
01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 1: They're like, I see your love and hip hop boy

1977
01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 1: a cool. Yeah, but let's see, there was only two platforms.

1978
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:34,560
Speaker 1: He could have came drink champs now he didn't know.

1979
01:38:34,640 --> 01:38:40,920
Speaker 1: He could have came a high level conversation right now

1980
01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:43,920
Speaker 1: and you know, and you know, to a couple of

1981
01:38:44,040 --> 01:38:49,479
Speaker 1: your journalists. It's up we review it to a couple

1982
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:52,280
Speaker 1: of our journalists. Like, no, yeah, it's out of line.

1983
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:56,840
Speaker 1: Why would they let shut up? He didn't calling you,

1984
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:01,040
Speaker 1: that's a fact. He didn't calling you, just keeping a hunting.

1985
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:06,439
Speaker 1: He ain't calling you since neither, so relaxed. You know,

1986
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 1: people always criticize my bad. I had to say that

1987
01:39:09,040 --> 01:39:10,880
Speaker 1: for a long time. If you stay out of it,

1988
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 1: concertain people ain't gonna lie that it was critiquing me.

1989
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:20,120
Speaker 1: And I'm looking like they're like, no, he's out of

1990
01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:22,720
Speaker 1: line for taking car. No I'm not. This is still

1991
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 1: one of the most what gods of you believe in

1992
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:28,439
Speaker 1: his views or you believe in his Honestly what I

1993
01:39:28,479 --> 01:39:30,280
Speaker 1: didn't know, and he got a lot of the people

1994
01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:34,320
Speaker 1: that criticizing and don't own their platforms, they couldn't take

1995
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 1: him off. It's not because they didn't want someone like

1996
01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:38,880
Speaker 1: we got to be careful with criticizing, and if we're

1997
01:39:38,880 --> 01:39:41,600
Speaker 1: not in a position to criticize, Like there's workers and

1998
01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:44,880
Speaker 1: there's bosses. Bosses and workers are in the same conversation.

1999
01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:47,840
Speaker 1: But how about Nike with with Kyrie, Like, but let

2000
01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:51,680
Speaker 1: me just finish. That's good because that's important. Ownership is

2001
01:39:51,720 --> 01:39:53,560
Speaker 1: real big for us, you know what I'm saying. So

2002
01:39:53,720 --> 01:39:56,439
Speaker 1: it's like we we have to be and it's nothing

2003
01:39:56,479 --> 01:39:59,080
Speaker 1: wrong with being a worker, but product yourself as soul.

2004
01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:02,479
Speaker 1: Problem is that a lot of times with workers and

2005
01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:05,720
Speaker 1: we talk to each other, as with bosses, we have

2006
01:40:05,800 --> 01:40:07,599
Speaker 1: to be extremely careful of how we speak to each

2007
01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:10,400
Speaker 1: other because language is important. So it's like, just be

2008
01:40:10,520 --> 01:40:12,519
Speaker 1: careful because you wouldn't talk to somebody else in that

2009
01:40:12,600 --> 01:40:15,160
Speaker 1: same manner, because I haven't seen you talking to anybody

2010
01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:17,320
Speaker 1: else in that same manner. You ain't talk to talk

2011
01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:19,280
Speaker 1: Carson in that manner. You can talk to Piers Morson

2012
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:21,640
Speaker 1: in that manner. You ain't talk to anybody in that

2013
01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:28,200
Speaker 1: manner except there come outside, except except for the person

2014
01:40:28,320 --> 01:40:31,519
Speaker 1: that you deem as your peer. But we're not peers,

2015
01:40:32,680 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 1: Like know what I'm saying. So that's important for people

2016
01:40:34,240 --> 01:40:37,080
Speaker 1: to understand, because I feel like it's it's gotten so

2017
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:39,640
Speaker 1: comfortable with Twitter, even the Dean saying is like, we

2018
01:40:39,760 --> 01:40:42,679
Speaker 1: got so comfortable disrespecting each other each other. It's so easy,

2019
01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:44,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying, so so easy. But it's like, like I said,

2020
01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:47,280
Speaker 1: be careful how we speak to each other because words

2021
01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:50,559
Speaker 1: are important and you could say something that could end

2022
01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:52,880
Speaker 1: your life or in somebody else's life and it's like

2023
01:40:52,920 --> 01:40:54,839
Speaker 1: a lot of times people end up in the penitential,

2024
01:40:54,960 --> 01:40:57,240
Speaker 1: they end up dead based off of emotions, based off

2025
01:40:57,280 --> 01:40:59,920
Speaker 1: of words. But then when you really look at it,

2026
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:03,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't even that serious. But conflict resolution. How do

2027
01:41:03,160 --> 01:41:06,040
Speaker 1: we disagree with somebody in an honorable manner? How do

2028
01:41:06,120 --> 01:41:08,519
Speaker 1: we disagree with somebody without trying to publicly embarrass them,

2029
01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:10,960
Speaker 1: because now you publicly embarrassed when nobody wins, because now

2030
01:41:11,000 --> 01:41:14,040
Speaker 1: it's gonnly gonna escalate, escalate to the point where it

2031
01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:15,640
Speaker 1: might not even lead to violence. But it's it's so

2032
01:41:15,800 --> 01:41:19,880
Speaker 1: much disrespect that the relationship is completely the meek mills.

2033
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:22,599
Speaker 1: No one actually knows what they've beefing over, if they

2034
01:41:22,680 --> 01:41:26,160
Speaker 1: even beefing. Like we know that he's something a couple

2035
01:41:26,200 --> 01:41:28,439
Speaker 1: of times and he just responded, well he didn't add

2036
01:41:28,520 --> 01:41:30,200
Speaker 1: him or something like that. But the fact there's like

2037
01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:33,200
Speaker 1: none of us know that. Yeah, and that's why I

2038
01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:35,040
Speaker 1: think public and that's one thing and I love Yeah,

2039
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:36,760
Speaker 1: you ain't one of my favorites of all time, but

2040
01:41:36,840 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 1: I just wish that summertimes he would just stop talking

2041
01:41:39,080 --> 01:41:40,800
Speaker 1: so much. Yeah, like you know what I'm saying, That's

2042
01:41:40,840 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 1: how That's how it was brought up like I don't

2043
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:44,640
Speaker 1: talk like I feel like you heard the record he

2044
01:41:44,680 --> 01:41:48,439
Speaker 1: put on Instagram. Yeah, it's like a snippet, right, people

2045
01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:51,439
Speaker 1: like that. I feel like I was raised Its like

2046
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:53,400
Speaker 1: men don't talk like that, Like this is a new

2047
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:57,160
Speaker 1: error where men just feel so comfortable speaking about other men,

2048
01:41:57,280 --> 01:41:59,960
Speaker 1: about other men's money, about other men like that. That's

2049
01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:02,320
Speaker 1: not a great question towards you, not how I was

2050
01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:05,080
Speaker 1: brought up. Is that money? Are we blaming that on money?

2051
01:42:05,080 --> 01:42:07,479
Speaker 1: Are we blame that's a that's a that's a lack

2052
01:42:07,560 --> 01:42:10,760
Speaker 1: of code of ethics from childhood. But also but let

2053
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:12,439
Speaker 1: me then pink because it support it's a code of

2054
01:42:12,479 --> 01:42:15,679
Speaker 1: ethics fro childhood where you understand that, Okay, some things

2055
01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:18,439
Speaker 1: you don't speak about. You don't speak about somebody else

2056
01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:21,160
Speaker 1: like publicly, you don't discredit somebody, don't talk about somebody

2057
01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:23,679
Speaker 1: else's money, especially if you don't have a complete understanding

2058
01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:26,040
Speaker 1: of knowledge, like you're looking crazy out here like dr

2059
01:42:26,240 --> 01:42:34,320
Speaker 1: Umar said that. Um but even before, even before you

2060
01:42:37,400 --> 01:42:39,960
Speaker 1: had a good about said about Omar and Kyrie. But

2061
01:42:41,120 --> 01:42:44,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to speaking you understand me. It is

2062
01:42:44,120 --> 01:42:47,320
Speaker 1: because my brother is right on code of ethics. But

2063
01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:51,360
Speaker 1: it's Also, men are afraid to speak truth nowadays as well.

2064
01:42:52,200 --> 01:42:56,599
Speaker 1: So the refreshing aspect of Kanye was that he's speaking

2065
01:42:56,600 --> 01:42:59,240
Speaker 1: a lot of truth. Whether you believe he stood or

2066
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:03,320
Speaker 1: lived for that truth, that doesn't matter. What he said

2067
01:43:03,400 --> 01:43:06,360
Speaker 1: true and we know that most of us will agree,

2068
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:12,120
Speaker 1: right but not publicly. Ll agreed on Saturday Night Live. Yeah,

2069
01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:16,599
Speaker 1: but I'm saying, like people with platform because you're afraid

2070
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:19,519
Speaker 1: of being d platform, you're afraid of being demonetized. And

2071
01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:25,439
Speaker 1: I didn't see anything that Dave Chappelle said offensive the

2072
01:43:25,439 --> 01:43:27,760
Speaker 1: way he did it. He didn't say nothing offensive. It

2073
01:43:28,000 --> 01:43:30,320
Speaker 1: was it wasn't jazz, but it was light, but it

2074
01:43:30,479 --> 01:43:32,120
Speaker 1: was heavy at the same time because what he was

2075
01:43:32,160 --> 01:43:34,000
Speaker 1: saying was pretty much what he was saying, and he

2076
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:36,439
Speaker 1: was he was kind of taking shots at Kanye on

2077
01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:39,560
Speaker 1: the know in my opinion, but it was well, it

2078
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:42,120
Speaker 1: was well thrown out. That's like he has these thoughts

2079
01:43:42,280 --> 01:43:43,760
Speaker 1: and it's just in my opinion, like he has these

2080
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:47,240
Speaker 1: thoughts and yes, something that make sense, but the delivery

2081
01:43:47,280 --> 01:43:51,360
Speaker 1: all the time, it's like it or he heard something,

2082
01:43:51,400 --> 01:43:53,240
Speaker 1: he got a source of information that was like, yo,

2083
01:43:53,360 --> 01:43:54,800
Speaker 1: I just got this new information and I know what

2084
01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:56,760
Speaker 1: that's like. When you get information, you want to share it.

2085
01:43:57,160 --> 01:43:59,640
Speaker 1: But you did you do a death of research on

2086
01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:01,400
Speaker 1: that amazing that you got or did you just take

2087
01:44:01,439 --> 01:44:03,160
Speaker 1: the source and like all right, that's it, I'm running

2088
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:06,920
Speaker 1: with it. And it's like, yo, I got it. I'm

2089
01:44:06,960 --> 01:44:08,360
Speaker 1: out of here with it, and now let me go

2090
01:44:08,439 --> 01:44:10,880
Speaker 1: through the and then and then also society, actually they

2091
01:44:10,920 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 1: don't know what you're trying to say. So people demonize

2092
01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:17,479
Speaker 1: you for what you said exactly how you said, the

2093
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:19,519
Speaker 1: way you said it. But come on, now you know

2094
01:44:19,640 --> 01:44:21,600
Speaker 1: what he was trying to say. You know what the

2095
01:44:21,720 --> 01:44:24,679
Speaker 1: context was behind it. So even if you get somebody

2096
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 1: that's ignorant on the subject, but they speaking on something

2097
01:44:27,280 --> 01:44:29,560
Speaker 1: that's real, they may not know, and the way you

2098
01:44:29,640 --> 01:44:31,280
Speaker 1: can attack them and trying to get them to go

2099
01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:33,880
Speaker 1: more in depth and detail on that nor that it's true,

2100
01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:36,200
Speaker 1: but you know, you can tack them on the weaknesses

2101
01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:39,040
Speaker 1: of them not being able to fully be defensible on

2102
01:44:39,240 --> 01:44:42,080
Speaker 1: that point. You understand me. And that's how the media

2103
01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:45,560
Speaker 1: does it, and that's how society does it to deceptively

2104
01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:49,080
Speaker 1: manipulate people. You understand me that that's always been a way.

2105
01:44:49,479 --> 01:44:51,840
Speaker 1: So for me, I'm one of those people that well,

2106
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:53,920
Speaker 1: I know what you were trying to say, here's the

2107
01:44:54,040 --> 01:44:57,760
Speaker 1: context behind it. There's truth behind it, there's facts behind it,

2108
01:44:58,120 --> 01:44:59,960
Speaker 1: and a lot of black men are afraid to speak

2109
01:45:00,160 --> 01:45:02,519
Speaker 1: up and to speak of truth because of look of

2110
01:45:02,600 --> 01:45:05,320
Speaker 1: what happened. You understand me. Like, we know that the

2111
01:45:05,400 --> 01:45:08,200
Speaker 1: business world has been taxing and playing black men and

2112
01:45:08,280 --> 01:45:11,439
Speaker 1: women for years, that the industry has always been unfair

2113
01:45:11,600 --> 01:45:14,640
Speaker 1: based on whoever owns it. But when we speak up

2114
01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:17,160
Speaker 1: on that, we can never be direct. And when you do,

2115
01:45:17,280 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 1: it's because you're already in the pocket of the people

2116
01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:21,840
Speaker 1: that you're trying to speak up against. So therefore you

2117
01:45:21,920 --> 01:45:24,120
Speaker 1: can never truly speak your mind when you're owned by

2118
01:45:24,160 --> 01:45:26,760
Speaker 1: the people you're speaking against. You understand me. And so

2119
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 1: that's the most dangerous thing that we have to get

2120
01:45:29,320 --> 01:45:32,760
Speaker 1: to a point where where we're growing now black men

2121
01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:35,120
Speaker 1: are having these conferences, whether it's us or whether it's

2122
01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:39,040
Speaker 1: people just being inspired that no, we own our voice, right,

2123
01:45:39,280 --> 01:45:40,960
Speaker 1: we can say what we want to say when we

2124
01:45:41,080 --> 01:45:43,320
Speaker 1: want to say it, and you goddamn know what the

2125
01:45:43,360 --> 01:45:44,920
Speaker 1: funk I meant. That's a part of it. So like

2126
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:47,360
Speaker 1: even when we're saying like, yeah, we gotta own our voice,

2127
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:49,200
Speaker 1: we got to create our own platforms. Yeah, that's true,

2128
01:45:49,280 --> 01:45:51,720
Speaker 1: right because after y'all, that's the last platform has been

2129
01:45:51,720 --> 01:45:53,960
Speaker 1: on if you look at it and seting like everyone

2130
01:45:54,040 --> 01:45:56,639
Speaker 1: has never been left by us. But if it's only y'all,

2131
01:45:57,200 --> 01:45:59,040
Speaker 1: then if I do y'all and there's a backlash, Now

2132
01:45:59,040 --> 01:46:01,880
Speaker 1: where do I go high level conversations? But that's only

2133
01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:07,000
Speaker 1: two like what I'm saying, Like like what I'm saying,

2134
01:46:07,280 --> 01:46:09,920
Speaker 1: if we only got two options, then I might have

2135
01:46:10,040 --> 01:46:11,760
Speaker 1: to go to different outlets. My thing with with with

2136
01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:13,439
Speaker 1: him is just like and I've always said this is

2137
01:46:13,479 --> 01:46:16,519
Speaker 1: like right now. I mean, we've seen his career, We've

2138
01:46:16,520 --> 01:46:19,559
Speaker 1: seen how it's played out. We we we know goes

2139
01:46:19,560 --> 01:46:21,760
Speaker 1: through these these times in his life, and it's like,

2140
01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:23,679
Speaker 1: at some point it's like, who's going to stop putting

2141
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:28,240
Speaker 1: the mac in front of him? No, I don't even

2142
01:46:28,280 --> 01:46:30,439
Speaker 1: know if it's if it's about not putting it. I

2143
01:46:30,560 --> 01:46:33,560
Speaker 1: think that well we have in our cultures, you know,

2144
01:46:33,720 --> 01:46:36,080
Speaker 1: because I don't think sometimes just shutting up is the

2145
01:46:36,160 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 1: answer getting to the point and the crux of it,

2146
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:42,439
Speaker 1: because everything that he talks about is bigger than him, right,

2147
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:44,439
Speaker 1: So at some point in time, we got to stop

2148
01:46:44,479 --> 01:46:47,920
Speaker 1: trying to blame the messenger, and we talk about the message, right,

2149
01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:51,599
Speaker 1: because that's where the actual change of impacts come. Kanye

2150
01:46:51,680 --> 01:46:54,439
Speaker 1: West is a voice for the message that everybody agrees with,

2151
01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:57,120
Speaker 1: but they can't agree with it publicly. But the thing

2152
01:46:57,160 --> 01:46:59,600
Speaker 1: with Kanye is that, and I love Kanye, but the

2153
01:46:59,680 --> 01:47:03,280
Speaker 1: mess ensured and the message is tied closely together, and

2154
01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:10,720
Speaker 1: the message from MESA changes almost daily. So it's like,

2155
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:13,880
Speaker 1: if you it's hard to it's hard to follow a

2156
01:47:14,000 --> 01:47:17,200
Speaker 1: message when the messages here one day and here the next.

2157
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:19,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember at one point he

2158
01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:20,840
Speaker 1: was like, yo, I don't have no industry friends, and

2159
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:24,240
Speaker 1: I was like why. He was like, no one contacted

2160
01:47:24,320 --> 01:47:27,200
Speaker 1: them when Kim took the babies, and I was like, yeah,

2161
01:47:27,200 --> 01:47:28,640
Speaker 1: if I had to add that, I'm not sure if

2162
01:47:29,200 --> 01:47:32,200
Speaker 1: the thing about it, because that's like saying people go

2163
01:47:32,280 --> 01:47:34,960
Speaker 1: to child support every day, like nobody gonna that as

2164
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:36,920
Speaker 1: a man, Like you're gonna go through that, like it's

2165
01:47:36,960 --> 01:47:38,720
Speaker 1: part of it, Like remember changing, So it's like but

2166
01:47:39,040 --> 01:47:41,240
Speaker 1: once again he blamed the whole industry for that. Yeah,

2167
01:47:41,360 --> 01:47:43,800
Speaker 1: but like, yeah, everyone, I don't think that was the

2168
01:47:43,880 --> 01:47:46,280
Speaker 1: part of his message that matters, you understand me, That's

2169
01:47:46,280 --> 01:47:49,000
Speaker 1: why when when you see some people champion, it's because

2170
01:47:49,040 --> 01:47:51,559
Speaker 1: they're taking a part that does matter and they're having

2171
01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:54,760
Speaker 1: a conversation on that, right, And that's the equity and

2172
01:47:54,840 --> 01:47:59,080
Speaker 1: the control of our power. You understand me, our intellectual property,

2173
01:47:59,360 --> 01:48:02,840
Speaker 1: our talent, is our skills, our gifts, Right, that's the

2174
01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:05,519
Speaker 1: part that mattered the most. And the truth is we

2175
01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:08,240
Speaker 1: don't own that. So I feel like Kayane West is

2176
01:48:08,280 --> 01:48:11,080
Speaker 1: will always Becomeing West. You can have conversations about him

2177
01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:13,640
Speaker 1: till you turn blue. But the reality of it is

2178
01:48:13,760 --> 01:48:15,800
Speaker 1: is that he gave us an opportunity to talk about

2179
01:48:15,880 --> 01:48:18,599
Speaker 1: something that's real that we really do need to own

2180
01:48:18,680 --> 01:48:20,360
Speaker 1: and change. But the whole thing about it is like

2181
01:48:20,520 --> 01:48:22,920
Speaker 1: we spend too much time talking about problems and other people.

2182
01:48:23,880 --> 01:48:26,160
Speaker 1: We gotta start talking about the future and solutions. So

2183
01:48:26,320 --> 01:48:27,760
Speaker 1: it's like, right now we're in the future and we

2184
01:48:27,840 --> 01:48:30,320
Speaker 1: got solutions. So when we talk about collaboration, it's like

2185
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 1: high level conversation. He references show a few different times,

2186
01:48:33,439 --> 01:48:36,120
Speaker 1: and that's a collaborative effort between us E y Oh

2187
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:38,799
Speaker 1: Network and his show High Level Conversations. We come together

2188
01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:40,720
Speaker 1: and we didn't have the green light. We didn't have

2189
01:48:40,760 --> 01:48:42,320
Speaker 1: to ask for permission. Now he gets to put his

2190
01:48:42,439 --> 01:48:44,519
Speaker 1: voice out. We have a platform, he has a voice.

2191
01:48:44,560 --> 01:48:46,600
Speaker 1: We worked together, and this is something that's happening in

2192
01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:48,640
Speaker 1: real time. So many times we highlight the problem but

2193
01:48:48,720 --> 01:48:51,400
Speaker 1: not the solution and not what's actually happening in real time.

2194
01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:56,000
Speaker 1: And that's something that is very detrimental because it's like

2195
01:48:56,120 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 1: we'll spend so much time speaking about what's wrong, what

2196
01:48:59,560 --> 01:49:01,800
Speaker 1: we don't have. Yeah, we already know that we we

2197
01:49:02,040 --> 01:49:04,120
Speaker 1: come to this country as slaves. Of course we're gonna

2198
01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:08,320
Speaker 1: have a tremendous disadvantage, but we are making progress. So

2199
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:11,960
Speaker 1: we could spend years talking about the ship that we

2200
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:15,320
Speaker 1: don't own, the things that are funked up, our culture

2201
01:49:15,479 --> 01:49:20,160
Speaker 1: that's dysfunctional. But why don't we spend more time highlighting

2202
01:49:20,320 --> 01:49:23,560
Speaker 1: what's going right, where the direction that we're headed in,

2203
01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:28,240
Speaker 1: and what are the solutions to fix the problem. That's like,

2204
01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:32,880
Speaker 1: this is important. What I'm saying like podcasts, podcast space, media,

2205
01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:37,320
Speaker 1: this is actually media. I'm saying it started that, it

2206
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:39,040
Speaker 1: started that it's a show. But that's why this is

2207
01:49:39,120 --> 01:49:42,040
Speaker 1: so important, Right, we own these things like that that

2208
01:49:42,160 --> 01:49:44,120
Speaker 1: we didn't grow up seeing that we didn't have. You

2209
01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:46,360
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying like we are all news was

2210
01:49:46,400 --> 01:49:48,880
Speaker 1: coming from rap city, you know what I'm saying, nobody

2211
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:52,559
Speaker 1: and in music box me and doing this and people

2212
01:49:52,600 --> 01:49:55,040
Speaker 1: will like just give away the YouTube and me. And

2213
01:49:55,120 --> 01:49:56,560
Speaker 1: he was like, we never put in our show on

2214
01:49:56,640 --> 01:49:59,200
Speaker 1: YouTube without getting paid. Like we were like were like

2215
01:49:59,280 --> 01:50:02,680
Speaker 1: we went through someone ship in the music industry that

2216
01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:05,320
Speaker 1: we was like we were dicks. Everyone who did deal

2217
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:08,559
Speaker 1: with us dick acts. And we were like, well that's

2218
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:11,160
Speaker 1: just a good business exactly. But you learn in the business,

2219
01:50:11,200 --> 01:50:12,760
Speaker 1: so like that's something we have to learn to Like

2220
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:15,879
Speaker 1: we don't like he's a financial advisor. I come from education,

2221
01:50:16,080 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 1: but like we didn't think this was gonna be a business.

2222
01:50:19,040 --> 01:50:21,160
Speaker 1: As we started realizing, like yeah, what's happening to him,

2223
01:50:21,200 --> 01:50:23,280
Speaker 1: Like oh wait, this is actually a business. We're gonna

2224
01:50:23,280 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 1: have to create something. We're gonna have to learn the space.

2225
01:50:25,160 --> 01:50:27,519
Speaker 1: But why we're learned it, which is key. We're teaching

2226
01:50:27,560 --> 01:50:30,640
Speaker 1: people about it, which is the other part that you

2227
01:50:30,640 --> 01:50:34,679
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like as he talked about solution,

2228
01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:40,160
Speaker 1: the solution of collaboration, right because mostly none of us

2229
01:50:40,200 --> 01:50:42,760
Speaker 1: have everything, but each person has a part of it.

2230
01:50:43,120 --> 01:50:45,240
Speaker 1: They understand me one person as I did maybe the

2231
01:50:45,280 --> 01:50:48,080
Speaker 1: other person has the funding. Right when we talk about

2232
01:50:48,120 --> 01:50:50,799
Speaker 1: the solution number one of like, you can give millions

2233
01:50:50,800 --> 01:50:52,960
Speaker 1: of dollars to h b c US, but we also

2234
01:50:53,000 --> 01:50:56,919
Speaker 1: have organizations to where we independently educate our people directly

2235
01:50:57,000 --> 01:51:00,240
Speaker 1: on the skill sets so that they can produce assets. Right,

2236
01:51:00,360 --> 01:51:02,959
Speaker 1: that's key. That's that's something that we haven't even addressed

2237
01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:06,560
Speaker 1: whatsoever in our community. You understand me, not to I

2238
01:51:06,640 --> 01:51:08,400
Speaker 1: just want to say something. Let me let me feel

2239
01:51:08,520 --> 01:51:14,720
Speaker 1: the point real quick. Important touting not to knock, not

2240
01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:25,640
Speaker 1: to n I learned from nor. We're not asking for donations. No, No,

2241
01:51:25,840 --> 01:51:32,280
Speaker 1: that's that's that's why you gotta let me finish when

2242
01:51:32,280 --> 01:51:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm giving people a solution about how we fundel our

2243
01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:36,960
Speaker 1: money and where we the way we look at things,

2244
01:51:37,400 --> 01:51:39,680
Speaker 1: there's this old standard of looking at education as the

2245
01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:43,680
Speaker 1: model for saviorism. Right, you get educated, you understand, you

2246
01:51:43,800 --> 01:51:45,280
Speaker 1: become the one in the family that can take it

2247
01:51:45,360 --> 01:51:49,680
Speaker 1: to the trajectory. When we have millionaires, billionaires, organizations, institutions,

2248
01:51:49,920 --> 01:51:51,920
Speaker 1: they don't look at our show the same way that

2249
01:51:51,960 --> 01:51:53,439
Speaker 1: they look at other things. They don't look at our

2250
01:51:53,479 --> 01:51:56,320
Speaker 1: platform the same way. But we're the new replacement where

2251
01:51:56,400 --> 01:51:59,240
Speaker 1: the newer version of that. When you talk about, all right,

2252
01:51:59,520 --> 01:52:02,120
Speaker 1: how can his family get the assets and the education

2253
01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:05,800
Speaker 1: inside that family so that that last name has the value. Well,

2254
01:52:05,880 --> 01:52:08,439
Speaker 1: we teach those sort of things, right, So you can

2255
01:52:08,520 --> 01:52:10,880
Speaker 1: big up at HBCU, but you can also big up

2256
01:52:10,920 --> 01:52:13,240
Speaker 1: E y L University. You can also big up block

2257
01:52:13,280 --> 01:52:16,840
Speaker 1: World Order my space. Right, So when you're talking about that,

2258
01:52:16,960 --> 01:52:19,800
Speaker 1: it's saying that, yes, we are the new solution. Yes

2259
01:52:19,920 --> 01:52:23,560
Speaker 1: we are creating a new institution right for us that

2260
01:52:23,720 --> 01:52:27,040
Speaker 1: is by us as well. So it's it's it's retraining

2261
01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:29,479
Speaker 1: people even how to look at us and what we're

2262
01:52:29,560 --> 01:52:32,759
Speaker 1: doing because they got all these old frameworks of thinking.

2263
01:52:33,040 --> 01:52:34,960
Speaker 1: They don't know how to properly see us for who

2264
01:52:35,040 --> 01:52:37,600
Speaker 1: we are and what we've done. It's not easy to

2265
01:52:37,720 --> 01:52:42,920
Speaker 1: create multiple organizations and institutions and education platforms travel around

2266
01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:45,599
Speaker 1: the world and reach millions of people with the type

2267
01:52:45,640 --> 01:52:48,320
Speaker 1: of messaging that we've done. You see the resource, But

2268
01:52:48,439 --> 01:52:52,160
Speaker 1: behind the scenes is genius, you understand me. Behind the scenes,

2269
01:52:52,240 --> 01:52:55,960
Speaker 1: it's us developing ourselves to produce something that's never been done.

2270
01:52:56,400 --> 01:52:58,120
Speaker 1: So that means that that has to be given a

2271
01:52:58,200 --> 01:53:01,200
Speaker 1: special place in the courture that everybody has to come

2272
01:53:01,280 --> 01:53:03,720
Speaker 1: together and put their stamp on this ship, not just

2273
01:53:03,920 --> 01:53:06,600
Speaker 1: some people, because we're gonna easily project the nigga for

2274
01:53:06,640 --> 01:53:09,320
Speaker 1: getting on the beat and wrapping about some boyshit. But

2275
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:11,519
Speaker 1: if we can travel around the world and teach our

2276
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:13,800
Speaker 1: people how to get themselves out the pool pit, then

2277
01:53:13,840 --> 01:53:16,080
Speaker 1: you gotta tap in. And And the thing about it

2278
01:53:16,320 --> 01:53:27,479
Speaker 1: is like everything ever, every every everything, every every everything

2279
01:53:27,520 --> 01:53:30,479
Speaker 1: he said, Everything he said was true. But also it's like,

2280
01:53:31,040 --> 01:53:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, just looking back on it, whether people champion

2281
01:53:34,040 --> 01:53:35,960
Speaker 1: or not, it don't really even matter in my thing.

2282
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:37,720
Speaker 1: I'm not even telling somebody you gotta do this, you

2283
01:53:37,760 --> 01:53:40,360
Speaker 1: gotta do that, because ultimately you do whatever you want

2284
01:53:40,360 --> 01:53:42,400
Speaker 1: to do. Bro, Like know what I'm saying. But it's like,

2285
01:53:43,120 --> 01:53:46,120
Speaker 1: for too long we look at black businesses as charities

2286
01:53:46,800 --> 01:53:49,280
Speaker 1: and then we look at like donations as a way

2287
01:53:49,320 --> 01:53:52,120
Speaker 1: to building wealth. That's not true because it's like how

2288
01:53:52,240 --> 01:53:54,960
Speaker 1: much money has been given to Africa and it hasn't

2289
01:53:55,040 --> 01:53:57,800
Speaker 1: changed the condition of the people in that situation. So

2290
01:53:57,960 --> 01:54:00,000
Speaker 1: it's like, when we're doing business, this is real busines

2291
01:54:00,040 --> 01:54:02,280
Speaker 1: is that we're standing on. We're offering a product that's

2292
01:54:02,280 --> 01:54:05,000
Speaker 1: worth every single bit that we're actually charging for. If

2293
01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:06,720
Speaker 1: you don't think that it is worth it, then don't

2294
01:54:06,760 --> 01:54:09,280
Speaker 1: pay for it. But we're not asking for a donation

2295
01:54:09,320 --> 01:54:11,800
Speaker 1: and we're not asking for handouts. We're doing real business

2296
01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:13,840
Speaker 1: and we're standing on it and we're providing a service

2297
01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:16,240
Speaker 1: and not just hearing America globally what there's an Abu

2298
01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:18,400
Speaker 1: Dhabi was in London, whether it's in Africa, whatever. So

2299
01:54:18,520 --> 01:54:19,840
Speaker 1: this is the things that we got to start looking

2300
01:54:19,880 --> 01:54:22,000
Speaker 1: at ourselves in a whole different light where it's like,

2301
01:54:22,080 --> 01:54:24,639
Speaker 1: now we're not we're not comparing ourselves to rappers because

2302
01:54:24,640 --> 01:54:26,840
Speaker 1: we're not rappers. We're not telling you that you've gotta

2303
01:54:26,880 --> 01:54:28,720
Speaker 1: stamp this because you don't have to stamp it. We're

2304
01:54:28,760 --> 01:54:30,400
Speaker 1: not asking you for anything because you don't gotta give

2305
01:54:30,439 --> 01:54:31,800
Speaker 1: us nothing. But at the end of the day, we're

2306
01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:34,120
Speaker 1: still going prosper. So it's like this is this is

2307
01:54:34,160 --> 01:54:36,600
Speaker 1: a level of confidence that we gotta have and too

2308
01:54:36,720 --> 01:54:39,000
Speaker 1: often we don't have that level of confidence because we're

2309
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:43,280
Speaker 1: still looking at ourselves as charity victims, like we're not victims.

2310
01:54:43,720 --> 01:54:46,000
Speaker 1: So that's that's extremely important for people to understand, especially

2311
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:55,360
Speaker 1: for the entrepreneurs that I'll look at it is it's

2312
01:54:55,560 --> 01:54:59,040
Speaker 1: complimentary you either enemy or a friend, and our courture.

2313
01:54:59,080 --> 01:55:01,400
Speaker 1: We got a lot of enemies, you understand me. Some

2314
01:55:01,480 --> 01:55:03,520
Speaker 1: people claim to be a part of the curture, but

2315
01:55:03,640 --> 01:55:05,760
Speaker 1: every single thing that they put out of some nigger

2316
01:55:05,800 --> 01:55:09,400
Speaker 1: ship and they none of it progressive whatsoever, you understand me.

2317
01:55:09,520 --> 01:55:11,840
Speaker 1: But they claim that they are part of it, and

2318
01:55:11,960 --> 01:55:14,680
Speaker 1: we give them accreditation and things of that nature, and

2319
01:55:14,760 --> 01:55:16,560
Speaker 1: we allow people to come up there and say, Yo,

2320
01:55:16,640 --> 01:55:18,720
Speaker 1: we're black, We're part of the courture. No, we gotta

2321
01:55:18,760 --> 01:55:21,600
Speaker 1: start snatching that car away, you not, because most of

2322
01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:24,320
Speaker 1: the things that they do are anti black, you understand me.

2323
01:55:24,400 --> 01:55:26,640
Speaker 1: Most of the music you make is anti black, most

2324
01:55:26,680 --> 01:55:29,080
Speaker 1: of the products that you make are anti black. Everything

2325
01:55:29,160 --> 01:55:32,600
Speaker 1: about your whole foundation and what you build is anti black.

2326
01:55:33,040 --> 01:55:36,160
Speaker 1: And what we're doing, you understand me, is pro black

2327
01:55:36,320 --> 01:55:38,880
Speaker 1: or pro good, because when we say anti black, it

2328
01:55:38,920 --> 01:55:40,680
Speaker 1: means that the things that you're putting out are not

2329
01:55:40,840 --> 01:55:44,280
Speaker 1: good for us. Right, But we were still champion you.

2330
01:55:44,760 --> 01:55:47,640
Speaker 1: So I feel like we gotta have soldiers in the courture.

2331
01:55:47,680 --> 01:55:49,720
Speaker 1: There are some people that you gotta give orders to

2332
01:55:49,800 --> 01:55:53,040
Speaker 1: because otherwise they don't know to do it. Like we've

2333
01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:55,960
Speaker 1: done this without that. Ain't got a donation or accreditation,

2334
01:55:56,120 --> 01:55:58,400
Speaker 1: none of that. I believe that validation comes from within

2335
01:55:58,840 --> 01:56:00,920
Speaker 1: and your accreditation is the work in the resource that

2336
01:56:01,040 --> 01:56:03,080
Speaker 1: you do. But at the same time, if you don't

2337
01:56:03,120 --> 01:56:05,960
Speaker 1: retrain the culture, because we've been programmed to do what

2338
01:56:06,160 --> 01:56:09,360
Speaker 1: we do, this ain't happened by accident. We've been programming

2339
01:56:09,480 --> 01:56:14,400
Speaker 1: every instance, from school to music, to entertainment to the preachers. Right,

2340
01:56:14,480 --> 01:56:17,240
Speaker 1: so it's people who have sold us out. Everything about

2341
01:56:17,280 --> 01:56:20,160
Speaker 1: our courture has been intentionally programmed for us to think

2342
01:56:20,280 --> 01:56:22,720
Speaker 1: and do what we do. Now, there's not going to

2343
01:56:22,880 --> 01:56:26,000
Speaker 1: be no accidental movement of getting us in the right direction.

2344
01:56:26,440 --> 01:56:29,680
Speaker 1: People have to be trained to do right. You understand me.

2345
01:56:29,720 --> 01:56:32,400
Speaker 1: It's easy to get the Mohammad said, there's easy to

2346
01:56:32,440 --> 01:56:35,120
Speaker 1: get people to go on the wrong direction. It's hard

2347
01:56:35,160 --> 01:56:37,160
Speaker 1: to get them to go in the right direction. That

2348
01:56:37,280 --> 01:56:39,600
Speaker 1: means that we have to do ten times more work.

2349
01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:42,280
Speaker 1: That means that we have to make sure that the

2350
01:56:42,640 --> 01:56:46,160
Speaker 1: organizations are just people. You understand me. They watch this show,

2351
01:56:46,240 --> 01:56:48,400
Speaker 1: they see what we do. They're here in the impact.

2352
01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:51,920
Speaker 1: We're talking about financial intelligence. We're talking about creating social

2353
01:56:52,320 --> 01:56:56,680
Speaker 1: grams and solutions. And yeah, another holiday where people are

2354
01:56:56,680 --> 01:56:59,680
Speaker 1: going to buy mostly liabilities. But if we can change

2355
01:56:59,720 --> 01:57:02,919
Speaker 1: them of the cycles that we on, we produce different results.

2356
01:57:03,360 --> 01:57:06,120
Speaker 1: So I am a firm believal of giving people orders.

2357
01:57:06,440 --> 01:57:09,160
Speaker 1: Whether you take that order or not, that's on you.

2358
01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:11,880
Speaker 1: But for those who consider themselves to be on the

2359
01:57:11,960 --> 01:57:14,640
Speaker 1: side of good, then rock We're good. But if you

2360
01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:17,000
Speaker 1: consider yourself to be good and you do sucking ship,

2361
01:57:17,080 --> 01:57:22,640
Speaker 1: then you are what you do your faith. I want

2362
01:57:22,640 --> 01:57:24,440
Speaker 1: to spake the game. Can we talk hip hop? Forward?

02:01:33,760 --> 02:01:37,320
Speaker 1: to New York, he moved to Queen's Eastmhurst respect for

2420
02:01:37,480 --> 02:01:40,400
Speaker 1: both as an adult on my own, but it wasn't

2421
02:01:40,440 --> 02:01:43,240
Speaker 1: celebrated in my household. You understand me growing up in

2422
02:01:43,280 --> 02:01:46,960
Speaker 1: a black Muslim household because we grew up in a nation. Yea.

2423
02:01:47,120 --> 02:01:50,560

2429
02:02:11,520 --> 02:02:18,480
Speaker 1: the greatest to ever do this ship Michael Michael, Yeah, yeah, disagreed, Michael.

2430
02:02:19,040 --> 02:02:23,200
Speaker 1: It's Michael. They got a drink anyway. I think he

2431
02:02:23,280 --> 02:02:26,480
Speaker 1: inspired me more when I was a kid, so, Mike, Yeah,

2432
02:02:26,640 --> 02:02:32,800
Speaker 1: from a business standpoint is the best stand I was

2433
02:02:32,880 --> 02:02:39,600
Speaker 1: so proud Bron and that media meeting Jerry Jones. Yes,

2434
02:02:39,720 --> 02:02:41,520
Speaker 1: where he just sat there was like, wait a minute,

2435
02:02:41,760 --> 02:02:43,440
Speaker 1: They're not gonna ask me about this. You're not gonna

2436
02:02:43,440 --> 02:02:46,040
Speaker 1: ask me about this? Like to me, we needed that

2437
02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:53,040
Speaker 1: to me because as an athlete, you know, I've seen

2438
02:02:53,120 --> 02:02:58,720
Speaker 1: every Michael Jordan game, but as the times that we

2439
02:02:58,840 --> 02:03:00,560
Speaker 1: live in, I don't think Jordian would did that, not

2440
02:03:00,640 --> 02:03:02,160
Speaker 1: even it was back there, not even a thought he

2441
02:03:04,640 --> 02:03:08,760
Speaker 1: the Jordan was living down. But the reality is, even

2442
02:03:08,800 --> 02:03:11,760
Speaker 1: from a media standpoint, nobody's really still pressed him hard

2443
02:03:11,800 --> 02:03:15,080
Speaker 1: about that that picture even after even after he said that,

2444
02:03:15,320 --> 02:03:18,080
Speaker 1: Stephen the Bron said that, but even from the Bron standpoint,

2445
02:03:18,120 --> 02:03:19,960
Speaker 1: it was like it felt like that was audible on

2446
02:03:20,120 --> 02:03:22,600
Speaker 1: the barn. Yeah, we test him about Kyrie. I was

2447
02:03:22,600 --> 02:03:24,680
Speaker 1: just gonna say that I felt like Kyrie when the

2448
02:03:24,800 --> 02:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Kyrie situation happened, we didn't hear from him in the

2449
02:03:27,480 --> 02:03:30,640
Speaker 1: way we thought we was. He made it up right

2450
02:03:30,680 --> 02:03:32,320
Speaker 1: there and there, and then it was like, oh we

2451
02:03:32,400 --> 02:03:35,280
Speaker 1: needed that because he left. But I mean we Lebron

2452
02:03:35,840 --> 02:03:39,280
Speaker 1: Ron just Avricara shout the map, shout the rich rich Pall.

2453

Speaker 1: I know what I'm saying, meaning behind that saying it. No, yeah, yeah,

2610
02:14:03,880 --> 02:14:08,040
Speaker 1: because I've never heard another man. So it was like

2611
02:14:08,120 --> 02:14:15,400
Speaker 1: I'm just asked, Hi, wait, wait, wait, wait, are you

2621
02:14:51,280 --> 02:14:53,760
Speaker 1: me sometimes I don't think that part of it. I

2674
02:18:28,440 --> 02:18:31,000
Speaker 1: Was here here in the Middle East, He's different. Different.

2675
02:18:32,000 --> 02:18:34,360
Speaker 1: Let's say there's no joke shout, so this is the

2676
02:18:34,480 --> 02:18:43,080
Speaker 1: last one, loyalty or respect. Loyalty or respect. I'm taking loyalty.

2677
02:18:44,160 --> 02:18:47,280
Speaker 1: I'll take loyalty. They don't go hand in hand. Yeah,

2678
02:18:47,320 --> 02:18:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm trying to. I'm trying to see what's the difference

2679
02:18:50,840 --> 02:18:53,040
Speaker 1: loyal to somebody you don't respect, and it's hard to

2680
02:18:53,040 --> 02:18:54,640
Speaker 1: respect somebody that you're not gonna have some level of

2681
02:18:54,720 --> 02:18:59,280
Speaker 1: loyalty to respect both. I mean that this is the

2682
02:18:59,320 --> 02:19:02,760
Speaker 1: only one you take the like technically you're supposed to

2683
02:19:02,760 --> 02:19:04,760
Speaker 1: go which other way you want, But loyalty and respect,

2684
02:19:04,800 --> 02:19:08,040
Speaker 1: it's both. But but if you get respect, then I

2685
02:19:08,120 --> 02:19:10,880
Speaker 1: think it comes with loyalty. You understand me. But I

2686
02:19:10,920 --> 02:19:12,480
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to have a bunch of people loyal to

2687
02:19:12,560 --> 02:19:16,119
Speaker 1: me that don't respect me. I'll say this, I'll say

2688
02:19:16,200 --> 02:19:19,160
Speaker 1: loyalty because you can you can have respect for somebody

2689
02:19:19,760 --> 02:19:22,760
Speaker 1: off of intimidation that you not really have no real

2690
02:19:22,879 --> 02:19:26,840
Speaker 1: loyalty to it, or you can have respect for somebody

2691
02:19:26,879 --> 02:19:29,840
Speaker 1: because of their position. But if you loyal to somebody,

2692
02:19:30,240 --> 02:19:32,400
Speaker 1: it's something deeper than there. So I'm gonna take loyal

2693
02:19:32,480 --> 02:19:37,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna taal, I'm gonna go both tooth both. Let's

2694
02:19:37,600 --> 02:19:40,640
Speaker 1: do it. Salute No, I can't get one question for

2695
02:19:40,760 --> 02:19:46,440
Speaker 1: you as you say one thing, remember your question, Remember

2696
02:19:46,440 --> 02:19:51,640
Speaker 1: your question, because this is this is this is something

2697
02:19:51,680 --> 02:19:54,119
Speaker 1: that's written down. They say that black and brown people

2698
02:19:54,520 --> 02:20:01,640
Speaker 1: follow every tread Besides, I was sticking together, m Is

2699
02:20:01,720 --> 02:20:04,440
Speaker 1: that true? And I like to hit ultimate of y'all.

2700
02:20:04,680 --> 02:20:07,320
Speaker 1: I think it's changing. I think that what we what

2701
02:20:07,440 --> 02:20:11,280
Speaker 1: were on embarking on is a financial revolution. I said,

2702
02:20:11,280 --> 02:20:13,439
Speaker 1: what we're embarking on right now is a financial revolution.

2703
02:20:13,600 --> 02:20:15,359
Speaker 1: And so when you see us come to the forefront

2704
02:20:15,480 --> 02:20:18,720
Speaker 1: with education and leading by example, but more importantly leading

2705
02:20:18,760 --> 02:20:21,800
Speaker 1: by demonstration. Right, So, like when we find out information,

2706
02:20:21,920 --> 02:20:23,920
Speaker 1: we give it back to people, but we actually implemented

2707
02:20:24,080 --> 02:20:26,400
Speaker 1: at the same time that they're doing it. It changes

2708
02:20:26,520 --> 02:20:29,560
Speaker 1: the mindset. It's like, you know, it's aspirational. I could

2709
02:20:29,560 --> 02:20:34,640
Speaker 1: do this. Um. So I think that that that there's

2710
02:20:34,640 --> 02:20:37,840
Speaker 1: a shift that's happening. And I think up here in

2711
02:20:37,920 --> 02:20:40,320
Speaker 1: the corporate level they don't really understand it yet, but

2712
02:20:40,440 --> 02:20:42,080
Speaker 1: on the surface they can feel it. And by the

2713
02:20:42,120 --> 02:20:44,720
Speaker 1: time they catch on, I mean, we're gonna be bubbling

2714
02:20:44,800 --> 02:20:47,240
Speaker 1: to a point where it's like, Yo, things have shifted

2715
02:20:47,320 --> 02:20:49,080
Speaker 1: so crazy, and they're gonna figure out trying to figure

2716
02:20:49,120 --> 02:20:51,240
Speaker 1: out where it came from. And that goes back to

2717
02:20:51,320 --> 02:20:53,160
Speaker 1: the part where like leaders right, Like I like what

2718
02:20:53,240 --> 02:20:54,800
Speaker 1: said he was, like, I'm not a leader, I'm a

2719
02:20:54,879 --> 02:20:56,800
Speaker 1: friend to you, right because if what happens when you

2720
02:20:56,800 --> 02:20:59,760
Speaker 1: shop the leader off, right, then the movement stops. But

2721
02:21:00,040 --> 02:21:04,360
Speaker 1: with us, what's leading is information. It's education, which you

2722
02:21:04,440 --> 02:21:07,640
Speaker 1: can't stop right. Like information, it's empowered, Like if I

2723
02:21:07,680 --> 02:21:09,800
Speaker 1: give you information, you're liable to share it with your friends,

2724
02:21:10,120 --> 02:21:12,840
Speaker 1: you're liable to share with your family. It changed, it

2725
02:21:12,920 --> 02:21:15,480
Speaker 1: makes everybody leave it, so you really can't stop this movement.

2726
02:21:15,560 --> 02:21:18,040
Speaker 1: So I think like right now, this time that we're in,

2727
02:21:18,160 --> 02:21:21,200
Speaker 1: like what Key said, it's the most pivotable time right now,

2728
02:21:21,320 --> 02:21:23,280
Speaker 1: especially since we came out of pandemic where we had

2729
02:21:23,280 --> 02:21:27,520
Speaker 1: an academic downturn, people really gravitated toward information, which is

2730
02:21:27,920 --> 02:21:29,920
Speaker 1: kind of pulted us because they looked at us for

2731
02:21:30,000 --> 02:21:32,720
Speaker 1: the forefront. But there's leaders that's being created from the

2732
02:21:32,800 --> 02:21:35,280
Speaker 1: information all throughout the world and we see it like

2733
02:21:35,280 --> 02:21:37,480
Speaker 1: when we went to London and we go to to Legos, Nigeria,

2734
02:21:37,520 --> 02:21:41,880
Speaker 1: we're seeing it happen. Um, So it's happening right now.

2735
02:21:42,320 --> 02:21:44,400
Speaker 1: I think we're embarking on it right now. I think

2736
02:21:44,440 --> 02:21:46,760
Speaker 1: it's a false narrative. We gotta be careful we're repeating

2737
02:21:46,840 --> 02:21:49,680
Speaker 1: false narratives because the narratives start to believe it that

2738
02:21:49,800 --> 02:21:52,280
Speaker 1: we don't stick together. We work together. It's like saying,

2739
02:21:52,360 --> 02:21:54,400
Speaker 1: like black men don't take care of their kids. That

2740
02:21:54,480 --> 02:21:56,320
Speaker 1: might have been true for generation, but like all the

2741
02:21:56,400 --> 02:21:58,680
Speaker 1: black people that I know my age are in their

2742
02:21:58,720 --> 02:22:01,080
Speaker 1: kids lives, I don't know. I may even know one

2743
02:22:01,160 --> 02:22:02,680
Speaker 1: or two, but I don't really know that many dead beats,

2744
02:22:02,720 --> 02:22:04,119
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying. So it's like when

2745
02:22:04,120 --> 02:22:09,480
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this room right here, I'm seeing you're Cuban, Yeah,

2746
02:22:09,480 --> 02:22:13,200
Speaker 1: Puerto Rican, Black y'all coming together. Y'all y'all created the

2747
02:22:13,280 --> 02:22:20,400
Speaker 1: biggest platform that we have in our cult. But it

2748
02:22:20,480 --> 02:22:25,440
Speaker 1: doesn't stop there. You partner revolt, which is black owned,

2749
02:22:25,840 --> 02:22:29,040
Speaker 1: right every single person in here, I see it Black Latino.

2750
02:22:29,720 --> 02:22:33,520
Speaker 1: Like I said, we got combo, black owned support, black

2751
02:22:33,560 --> 02:22:36,840
Speaker 1: owned businesses support, you got, you got, you got us,

2752
02:22:37,000 --> 02:22:41,480
Speaker 1: you got us on black, you got, you got some rock,

2753
02:22:41,680 --> 02:22:44,400
Speaker 1: you got spade, you got that, you got the Dominican liquor,

2754
02:22:44,520 --> 02:22:47,640
Speaker 1: you got got And then like I said, if you

2755
02:22:47,720 --> 02:22:57,200
Speaker 1: look at is that rocks everybody. I just look, I'm

2756
02:22:57,200 --> 02:23:02,360
Speaker 1: like so then so then it's like, okay, now you

2757
02:23:02,480 --> 02:23:05,440
Speaker 1: got us on his guest right, and you're helping us

2758
02:23:05,520 --> 02:23:08,280
Speaker 1: elevate our platform by communicating to an audience that may

2759
02:23:08,320 --> 02:23:11,880
Speaker 1: not be familiar with us and wearing black owned media platform.

2760
02:23:12,680 --> 02:23:16,360
Speaker 1: We partner with nineteen Keys, but he's black. So what

2761
02:23:16,480 --> 02:23:19,240
Speaker 1: does that tell you? Every every single person in here

2762
02:23:19,360 --> 02:23:21,680
Speaker 1: is collaborating with with each other on a certain level.

2763
02:23:22,600 --> 02:23:25,440
Speaker 1: So it's like that that narrative is just not even really.

2764
02:23:25,520 --> 02:23:27,560
Speaker 1: Of course we can do better, of course we can

2765
02:23:27,600 --> 02:23:30,800
Speaker 1: always do better, but this it just shows you when

2766
02:23:30,840 --> 02:23:33,960
Speaker 1: we're able to accomplish when we do work together. So

2767
02:23:34,080 --> 02:23:37,160
Speaker 1: I think that we are working together. We need to

2768
02:23:37,240 --> 02:23:39,920
Speaker 1: do more of it. But let's be careful with that

2769
02:23:40,080 --> 02:23:42,480
Speaker 1: narrative because the more we repeat it, the more we

2770
02:23:42,520 --> 02:23:45,040
Speaker 1: start to believe it. Let me just tell y'all something.

2771
02:23:45,080 --> 02:23:48,680
Speaker 1: All three of your brothers and I started by saying this,

2772
02:23:49,879 --> 02:23:53,400
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because I've never really seen

2773
02:23:53,480 --> 02:23:57,240
Speaker 1: this before. Like I've been i'mty five years old, I've

2774
02:23:57,280 --> 02:24:00,920
Speaker 1: been famous, kind of crazy, right like, so I've been

2775
02:24:01,000 --> 02:24:06,640
Speaker 1: more famous than i've been poor. I noticed that it's

2776
02:24:06,640 --> 02:24:10,840
Speaker 1: a financially good I said, famous. But when I seen

2777
02:24:10,879 --> 02:24:13,080
Speaker 1: you brothers, and I've seen you telling people how to

2778
02:24:13,200 --> 02:24:16,040
Speaker 1: do this a certain thing, and and and and and

2779
02:24:16,320 --> 02:24:20,440
Speaker 1: accumulated wealth and get that, I was like, I said, man,

2780
02:24:20,520 --> 02:24:24,240
Speaker 1: this is crazy because I don't really see people. And

2781
02:24:24,280 --> 02:24:25,840
Speaker 1: I said, I know, I said that earlier. I don't

2782
02:24:25,879 --> 02:24:28,640
Speaker 1: really see people that came before y'all that looked like y'all.

2783
02:24:29,800 --> 02:24:31,280
Speaker 1: And you know, some of the best advice you could

2784
02:24:31,280 --> 02:24:34,400
Speaker 1: ever get. This for my life a crackhead, right, crackhead

2785
02:24:34,400 --> 02:24:37,080
Speaker 1: got the best vice. It's just that you can't really

2786
02:24:37,160 --> 02:24:39,640
Speaker 1: take him serious because he made it nowhere in life,

2787
02:24:40,600 --> 02:24:42,280
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So you're sitting here and

2788
02:24:42,360 --> 02:24:45,040
Speaker 1: he's telling you to really ship. Ever he's like, yo, man,

2789
02:24:45,560 --> 02:24:47,800
Speaker 1: it ain't about the journey. It's about the destination how

2790
02:24:47,879 --> 02:24:50,720
Speaker 1: you get there. And you're sitting there like whatever, And

2791
02:24:50,879 --> 02:24:52,880
Speaker 1: you're sitting there and you're not really understanding that he

2792
02:24:53,000 --> 02:24:56,240
Speaker 1: giving you real science. He given you real reality. But

2793
02:24:56,320 --> 02:24:58,920
Speaker 1: it's like, damn, when you look at him, you can't

2794
02:24:58,959 --> 02:25:00,880
Speaker 1: really take him serious because like damn, he's gonna ask

2795
02:25:00,920 --> 02:25:04,199
Speaker 1: me for five hours at the versation, so he giving

2796
02:25:04,200 --> 02:25:05,920
Speaker 1: you the really ship, but then he's gonna say, let

2797
02:25:05,920 --> 02:25:07,600
Speaker 1: me get files. You gotta give it, and then once

2798
02:25:07,640 --> 02:25:11,440
Speaker 1: you come to the files, his whole conversation actually deteriorates out.

2799
02:25:11,680 --> 02:25:14,960
Speaker 1: So what I'm saying is we don't have because the

2800
02:25:15,040 --> 02:25:17,280
Speaker 1: crack can be speaking that financial ship too, like you've

2801
02:25:17,320 --> 02:25:19,600
Speaker 1: better saying your money you like, maybe I should listen

2802
02:25:19,640 --> 02:25:23,280
Speaker 1: to him, because clearly he didn't say this right, right,

2803
02:25:23,840 --> 02:25:27,080
Speaker 1: But we don't take that knowledge because guess what he's

2804
02:25:27,080 --> 02:25:31,600
Speaker 1: looking up. He's the presentation. He's telling us the total

2805
02:25:32,040 --> 02:25:34,080
Speaker 1: advice that we should be listening to and we should

2806
02:25:34,080 --> 02:25:37,480
Speaker 1: be following. But his presentation is so fucked up. That's

2807
02:25:37,520 --> 02:25:41,040
Speaker 1: why it's so important for y'all to be be rolled up,

2808
02:25:41,240 --> 02:25:44,120
Speaker 1: be looking clean, and you're talking about financial freedom and

2809
02:25:44,200 --> 02:25:47,240
Speaker 1: financial wealth and all this. But it's not like they

2810
02:25:47,280 --> 02:25:49,920
Speaker 1: can't see it in y'all, right, right, you know what

2811
02:25:49,959 --> 02:25:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean? And that's very important because are people like

2812
02:25:52,680 --> 02:25:56,640
Speaker 1: one thing about becoming old school is if you become

2813
02:25:56,680 --> 02:25:58,720
Speaker 1: old school in this game and you ain't got no paper,

2814
02:25:58,959 --> 02:26:01,760
Speaker 1: them young dudes ain't listen into roasts of fact, I

2815
02:26:01,840 --> 02:26:06,680
Speaker 1: don't give a funk is whatever the village you become old,

2816
02:26:06,840 --> 02:26:08,520
Speaker 1: you got this a couple of great hairs I ain't

2817
02:26:08,560 --> 02:26:10,280
Speaker 1: have great hands to Kanye came here. By the way,

2818
02:26:11,280 --> 02:26:13,640
Speaker 1: I got great hairs now. But but but but by

2819
02:26:13,680 --> 02:26:17,560
Speaker 1: the way, if I ain't pulling up in the fandom

2820
02:26:17,920 --> 02:26:23,360
Speaker 1: a culinary uh made back, you know, you know, you know,

2821
02:26:23,879 --> 02:26:27,520
Speaker 1: they laugh, they get they get to joke. But if

2822
02:26:27,640 --> 02:26:31,600
Speaker 1: you're pulling up in that and that's what's woke up

2823
02:26:31,600 --> 02:26:33,560
Speaker 1: about all youth, because I remember you kept saying that

2824
02:26:33,760 --> 02:26:37,600
Speaker 1: you gotta remember, like claiming third t X. He realized

2825
02:26:37,640 --> 02:26:40,200
Speaker 1: that the older homies wasn't the people to save. He

2826
02:26:40,320 --> 02:26:42,600
Speaker 1: realized that he had to go back and save the youth.

2827
02:26:43,360 --> 02:26:46,360
Speaker 1: But you gotta be cooler the youth. You can't go

2828
02:26:46,520 --> 02:26:49,320
Speaker 1: to the youth and be like, yo, man, don't drink

2829
02:26:49,360 --> 02:26:51,360
Speaker 1: that o eat. You gotta actually drink the o E

2830
02:26:51,520 --> 02:26:55,320
Speaker 1: with him sometimes to let them know you would. Yeah, yeah,

2831
02:26:55,520 --> 02:26:58,000
Speaker 1: And then you take them out of that world. It's

2832
02:26:58,080 --> 02:27:00,560
Speaker 1: easier to reach the people when you're arms reach of

2833
02:27:00,600 --> 02:27:03,520
Speaker 1: the people. You know, there was a time when Frederick

2834
02:27:03,560 --> 02:27:08,080
Speaker 1: Douglas was the most photographed man on earth, right, and

2835
02:27:08,200 --> 02:27:10,880
Speaker 1: he's one of the greatest abolitionists to exist. So he

2836
02:27:11,080 --> 02:27:18,960
Speaker 1: was teaching people freedom. You understand me, And because that's

2837
02:27:19,000 --> 02:27:23,360
Speaker 1: hard let's just take a shop for practical dullas. That's

2838
02:27:23,400 --> 02:27:27,440
Speaker 1: just hard and we're gonna repeat this on Black History months.

2839
02:27:28,600 --> 02:27:31,480
Speaker 1: But think about that though. Why was he the most photographed?

2840
02:27:31,520 --> 02:27:34,640
Speaker 1: That was because he presented himself, right. He never smiled

2841
02:27:34,720 --> 02:27:37,360
Speaker 1: because he said that it was nothing to smile about,

2842
02:27:37,920 --> 02:27:40,560
Speaker 1: you understand me, Because he was fighting for freedom and

2843
02:27:40,640 --> 02:27:43,800
Speaker 1: this was serious. But he knew that his appearance was

2844
02:27:43,879 --> 02:27:45,680
Speaker 1: the way that he was going to be projected to

2845
02:27:45,760 --> 02:27:48,640
Speaker 1: the people around the world. So every time you've seen him,

2846
02:27:48,680 --> 02:27:51,200
Speaker 1: he was clean, you understand me. So he showed the

2847
02:27:51,240 --> 02:27:54,080
Speaker 1: appearance of what it's like to be free. Right. So

2848
02:27:54,240 --> 02:27:56,880
Speaker 1: if we're going to teach people financial freedom, then we

2849
02:27:56,959 --> 02:27:59,880
Speaker 1: have to show up looking financially free. Right. And the

2850
02:28:00,160 --> 02:28:03,920
Speaker 1: same time we're talking about this right here, Mohammed peach

2851
02:28:04,000 --> 02:28:06,600
Speaker 1: right there, man, get the close up on it. Okay,

2852
02:28:06,640 --> 02:28:11,240
Speaker 1: you stop paying just you know, but more rings in

2853
02:28:11,280 --> 02:28:16,040
Speaker 1: the risa. But even when we did the crowns, right,

2854
02:28:16,080 --> 02:28:20,680
Speaker 1: I was this is when like I kind of knew,

2855
02:28:21,560 --> 02:28:24,040
Speaker 1: how did he have something with the minister said, The

2856
02:28:24,080 --> 02:28:27,640
Speaker 1: minister said nothing against him. The minister actually like kind

2857
02:28:27,680 --> 02:28:29,480
Speaker 1: of praised that. Did he did he really have that

2858
02:28:29,560 --> 02:28:32,360
Speaker 1: two billion? I think he takes personal when you try

2859
02:28:32,400 --> 02:28:34,879
Speaker 1: to target his money. He's very sensitive about his finances.

2860
02:28:35,240 --> 02:28:37,720
Speaker 1: I noticed, like he takes his money very serious, like

2861
02:28:38,000 --> 02:28:40,200
Speaker 1: even for like he keeps going back and forth like

2862
02:28:40,440 --> 02:28:43,080
Speaker 1: they misspolded me, they discussed that, Like I think he

2863
02:28:43,240 --> 02:28:47,440
Speaker 1: really he really wants that validation of finances, like I'm

2864
02:28:47,520 --> 02:28:49,400
Speaker 1: worth this amount of money. And if you question that,

2865
02:28:49,879 --> 02:28:53,400
Speaker 1: he takes it personal. I don't think the minister actually

2866
02:28:53,640 --> 02:28:57,400
Speaker 1: think I'm something very serious as well on that particular subject.

2867
02:28:57,480 --> 02:29:04,120
Speaker 1: Because if you notice, nobody came out from the nation

2868
02:29:04,320 --> 02:29:07,800
Speaker 1: and slender came west after that, and that's a that's

2869
02:29:07,840 --> 02:29:11,640
Speaker 1: a lesson that Black America needs to take because everything

2870
02:29:11,840 --> 02:29:14,880
Speaker 1: is is doesn't have to be a war, you understand me,

2871
02:29:15,400 --> 02:29:17,560
Speaker 1: Because even when he said it's a conversation that needs

2872
02:29:17,600 --> 02:29:19,680
Speaker 1: to be had, and it is. But what we gonna

2873
02:29:19,720 --> 02:29:23,440
Speaker 1: run with is the conflict, not the conversation, right, And

2874
02:29:23,600 --> 02:29:27,680
Speaker 1: so I think that the presentation of the Honorable Minister

2875
02:29:27,760 --> 02:29:31,160
Speaker 1: lewis far kind and everybody that follows him not coming

2876
02:29:31,200 --> 02:29:33,480
Speaker 1: out against him, not creating an issue out of it,

2877
02:29:33,640 --> 02:29:35,760
Speaker 1: was a lesson for how we need to handle those

2878
02:29:35,800 --> 02:29:39,600
Speaker 1: type of things, right. And the reality of it is

2879
02:29:39,760 --> 02:29:42,880
Speaker 1: is we're speaking about the same thing we speak about evaluations.

2880
02:29:43,400 --> 02:29:46,280
Speaker 1: Is it really there, right? Or it doesn't come with

2881
02:29:46,520 --> 02:29:49,400
Speaker 1: terms of agreement based on a contract that you made

2882
02:29:49,480 --> 02:29:52,720
Speaker 1: that say you can maintain your position, you can maintain

2883
02:29:52,800 --> 02:29:55,480
Speaker 1: your evaluation, you can say you are who you are

2884
02:29:56,120 --> 02:30:00,480
Speaker 1: as long as you follow what we say. Right, and

2885
02:30:00,560 --> 02:30:04,160
Speaker 1: this is probably the terms and agreement of all top

2886
02:30:04,600 --> 02:30:07,360
Speaker 1: people that we see within our courts. Here. How many

2887
02:30:07,440 --> 02:30:10,160
Speaker 1: people can get their wealth snatched away like this if

2888
02:30:10,200 --> 02:30:14,520
Speaker 1: they say the wrong thing? Is that wealth? Is that power?

2889
02:30:14,720 --> 02:30:17,720
Speaker 1: Is that really billions? Is that really millions? So? But

2890
02:30:17,840 --> 02:30:21,480
Speaker 1: when you do that to a people same way where

2891
02:30:21,840 --> 02:30:24,480
Speaker 1: you know, during COVID nineteen, all the countries realized they

2892
02:30:24,520 --> 02:30:27,840
Speaker 1: had an over dependence on China right for supply chains,

2893
02:30:27,879 --> 02:30:30,840
Speaker 1: and countries now want to make their own so they're

2894
02:30:30,840 --> 02:30:33,440
Speaker 1: not seen as weak during those type of times. Black

2895
02:30:33,520 --> 02:30:36,280
Speaker 1: America is realizing that as well, that if we ever

2896
02:30:36,360 --> 02:30:39,360
Speaker 1: want to be free, speak free, move free, then we

2897
02:30:39,520 --> 02:30:41,720
Speaker 1: have to not have a dependence on somebody else that

2898
02:30:41,760 --> 02:30:45,360
Speaker 1: can control our freedom. Anything that controls your will, you

2899
02:30:45,480 --> 02:30:50,840
Speaker 1: are slave too, right, And so rich slaves exist, right.

2900
02:30:51,760 --> 02:30:56,360
Speaker 1: Wealthy slaves exist because you're giving liberty, which means that

2901
02:30:56,920 --> 02:30:59,240
Speaker 1: you are giving a range of things you can do,

2902
02:30:59,360 --> 02:31:01,400
Speaker 1: but not truth freedom to do whatever you want to do.

2903
02:31:02,000 --> 02:31:05,360
Speaker 1: So that's the difference between liberty and freedom. Most of

2904
02:31:05,440 --> 02:31:08,080
Speaker 1: the people that have wealth in our society and our curture,

2905
02:31:08,160 --> 02:31:11,440
Speaker 1: they have liberty and they wish they had true freedom

2906
02:31:11,480 --> 02:31:13,720
Speaker 1: to where. I want to do this project. I want

2907
02:31:13,760 --> 02:31:15,280
Speaker 1: to say what I want to say. I want to

2908
02:31:15,360 --> 02:31:18,480
Speaker 1: make this move this way, but I can't because even

2909
02:31:18,560 --> 02:31:20,320
Speaker 1: if I want to do this to appease my people,

2910
02:31:20,400 --> 02:31:23,840
Speaker 1: I have the piece them people. How about Tyler Perry, right,

2911
02:31:24,080 --> 02:31:27,200
Speaker 1: Tyler Perry is one of the most richest people, right,

2912
02:31:27,360 --> 02:31:31,680
Speaker 1: but in our community he always gets critiqued for playing Medea.

2913
02:31:32,000 --> 02:31:34,080
Speaker 1: I think I think sometimes like like, let me just

2914
02:31:34,120 --> 02:31:37,960
Speaker 1: finish like like, and then people say, Okay, yeah, he

2915
02:31:38,040 --> 02:31:39,800
Speaker 1: made this billion, he did all this, He did a

2916
02:31:39,879 --> 02:31:41,800
Speaker 1: great thing. But guess what he had to get there

2917
02:31:41,840 --> 02:31:44,560
Speaker 1: by wearing a dress, you know, Minister Foreire concept something

2918
02:31:44,600 --> 02:31:47,160
Speaker 1: about that. It is what made me change my mind

2919
02:31:47,320 --> 02:31:51,280
Speaker 1: on it on Tyler Perry because he said, I love

2920
02:31:51,400 --> 02:31:54,920
Speaker 1: Tyler Perry movies because of the lessons that he put

2921
02:31:55,000 --> 02:31:57,160
Speaker 1: in them. You understand me. And I think that was

2922
02:31:57,240 --> 02:31:59,280
Speaker 1: another lesson that he was teaching us is that we

2923
02:31:59,320 --> 02:32:03,880
Speaker 1: don't always need to critique everything. See playing grandmother, wouldn't

2924
02:32:04,280 --> 02:32:13,200
Speaker 1: grandmother grandmother position? You know, And that's one of those

2925
02:32:13,200 --> 02:32:14,960
Speaker 1: things where some people kick down the door. Then the

2926
02:32:15,040 --> 02:32:16,959
Speaker 1: next generation are the ones who rushed in the house

2927
02:32:16,959 --> 02:32:20,080
Speaker 1: and take over everything right. And I don't think it's

2928
02:32:20,120 --> 02:32:21,880
Speaker 1: going to be on him to do it. But it's

2929
02:32:21,879 --> 02:32:25,040
Speaker 1: an example because think about the type of movies we

2930
02:32:25,080 --> 02:32:27,920
Speaker 1: would like to see made right. But can you make

2931
02:32:27,959 --> 02:32:32,080
Speaker 1: those movies right? There's so many historical figures. There's there's

2932
02:32:32,160 --> 02:32:36,080
Speaker 1: no Marcus Garvey movies, no Noble draw Lead movies, no

2933
02:32:36,200 --> 02:32:40,440
Speaker 1: Ulijah Muhammed movies, no Two Saint movies, no Mansa Mussim,

2934
02:32:41,000 --> 02:32:45,160
Speaker 1: Hannibal Barker movies, John Horse movies. None of those movies

2935
02:32:45,240 --> 02:32:51,879
Speaker 1: about any of our real historical figures. Alba, we gott

2936
02:32:52,800 --> 02:32:59,400
Speaker 1: keep making drugs. What happens when we own our media

2937
02:32:59,400 --> 02:33:01,800
Speaker 1: and we can like and we can green light our

2938
02:33:01,879 --> 02:33:06,280
Speaker 1: own films and control on narratives. We appreciate. You can

2939
02:33:06,320 --> 02:33:08,959
Speaker 1: see if somebody, you know, based on what they build

2940
02:33:09,000 --> 02:33:10,680
Speaker 1: and what they did with it and the doors they

2941
02:33:10,760 --> 02:33:12,960
Speaker 1: kicked down. But I also think that sometimes we don't

2942
02:33:12,959 --> 02:33:16,000
Speaker 1: allow a person to fully develop into the legacy that

2943
02:33:16,040 --> 02:33:18,520
Speaker 1: they're going to bring about before we criticize, like you

2944
02:33:18,560 --> 02:33:22,560
Speaker 1: see will Smith emancipation. I say that one thing about

2945
02:33:22,600 --> 02:33:25,080
Speaker 1: Todder Perry because we actually got to speak with him,

2946
02:33:25,760 --> 02:33:27,520
Speaker 1: and we got to go to his studio which is

2947
02:33:27,520 --> 02:33:31,200
Speaker 1: actually which is crazy restroom. So it's like I think

2948
02:33:31,280 --> 02:33:34,400
Speaker 1: that people, everybody, you've been to his studio? No, no,

2949
02:33:35,480 --> 02:33:39,480
Speaker 1: it on Instagram? No, no, dope, dope, don't have to.

2950
02:33:41,440 --> 02:33:45,600
Speaker 1: There's five there's five Hollywood studios. I believe Sony like

2951
02:33:45,640 --> 02:33:47,760
Speaker 1: paramount all of them. Like you can feel all of

2952
02:33:47,800 --> 02:33:51,760
Speaker 1: those Hollywood studios on his campus in Atlanta. That's how

2953
02:33:51,800 --> 02:33:53,800
Speaker 1: big it is. They said, in any given day, there's

2954
02:33:53,879 --> 02:33:58,600
Speaker 1: five thousand people that's working. He employs. I forgot how

2955
02:33:58,720 --> 02:34:01,960
Speaker 1: much millions over a hundred million dollars nine the people

2956
02:34:02,000 --> 02:34:04,480
Speaker 1: of black people per hundred fifty million a year in

2957
02:34:04,520 --> 02:34:09,520
Speaker 1: salaries black people. So it's like sometimes the mean the

2958
02:34:09,680 --> 02:34:11,800
Speaker 1: ends justified the means just to find the ends. And

2959
02:34:11,879 --> 02:34:13,480
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, once again going back to

2960
02:34:13,560 --> 02:34:16,200
Speaker 1: being critical, Yeah, we can, we can criticize the situation.

2961
02:34:16,320 --> 02:34:19,600
Speaker 1: But what he's able to, what he's been able to accomplish,

2962
02:34:20,080 --> 02:34:23,960
Speaker 1: nobody in one hundred years has built a studio. This, no, this,

2963
02:34:24,280 --> 02:34:27,480
Speaker 1: this is something that people need to understand. The last studio,

2964
02:34:27,879 --> 02:34:31,440
Speaker 1: the last studio was like Warner Bros. A hundred years ago.

2965
02:34:31,720 --> 02:34:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Black, I'm I'm talking about any person.

2966
02:34:35,440 --> 02:34:37,880
Speaker 1: He's been able to accomplish when no other person has

2967
02:34:37,920 --> 02:34:40,200
Speaker 1: been able to accomplish in one hundred years. And then

2968
02:34:40,360 --> 02:34:42,640
Speaker 1: and then all those studios have been in the same place.

2969
02:34:43,120 --> 02:34:45,160
Speaker 1: So like, think about what he's done. Right, Not only

2970
02:34:45,200 --> 02:34:46,880
Speaker 1: did he take it out of Hollywood, he put it

2971
02:34:46,920 --> 02:34:50,720
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, Georgia black Hollywood black right, Like, you create

2972
02:34:50,760 --> 02:34:53,320
Speaker 1: a whole genre and then you create lots, right, And

2973
02:34:53,400 --> 02:34:56,320
Speaker 1: not only do you create your own space to create content,

2974
02:34:57,959 --> 02:35:01,240
Speaker 1: you created an economy that listen, you got you got Marvel.

2975
02:35:01,360 --> 02:35:03,720
Speaker 1: You got Marvel renting out your studio to shoot Black

2976
02:35:03,760 --> 02:35:07,320
Speaker 1: Panther too, right, And on top of it, you're creating

2977
02:35:07,320 --> 02:35:09,320
Speaker 1: your own content. But not only in the state that

2978
02:35:09,400 --> 02:35:13,200
Speaker 1: the taxes are favorable for. Think about what but when

2979
02:35:13,240 --> 02:35:15,200
Speaker 1: we were there, like lets said, you gotta see it, right,

2980
02:35:15,320 --> 02:35:18,480
Speaker 1: people are building economies outside of the studio. So what

2981
02:35:18,600 --> 02:35:20,920
Speaker 1: it was it was an old military base that used

2982
02:35:20,959 --> 02:35:22,879
Speaker 1: to home slaves. So like, thinking about what he's done

2983
02:35:22,920 --> 02:35:25,760
Speaker 1: here historically, But outside of those it was an old

2984
02:35:25,800 --> 02:35:30,840
Speaker 1: military military base, right, it was a it was a

2985
02:35:30,840 --> 02:35:36,720
Speaker 1: Confederate he talked, they're building their building economies outside of it.

2986
02:35:36,800 --> 02:35:39,000
Speaker 1: So outside of the areas of the wall, you see

2987
02:35:39,400 --> 02:35:43,080
Speaker 1: houses and developments being built. He's creating. It's a city

2988
02:35:43,160 --> 02:35:45,600
Speaker 1: outside of his studio. You see what I'm saying, Like

2989
02:35:45,680 --> 02:35:47,560
Speaker 1: it's completely different. Not only is he doing that, but

2990
02:35:47,680 --> 02:35:49,480
Speaker 1: who was he employing If you look at all the shows,

2991
02:35:49,520 --> 02:35:51,760
Speaker 1: what was he employing people that look like us? Who

2992
02:35:51,840 --> 02:35:54,520
Speaker 1: else is doing that? And he's been able to the

2993
02:35:54,600 --> 02:35:56,879
Speaker 1: illest part about this, Like I said, you gotta actually

2994
02:35:56,920 --> 02:35:58,560
Speaker 1: go there to get a full appreciation, because they give

2995
02:35:58,560 --> 02:36:00,640
Speaker 1: you a whole tour, takes about an hour. It's really

2996
02:36:00,680 --> 02:36:04,160
Speaker 1: a real estate play because he has more land than

2997
02:36:04,200 --> 02:36:07,880
Speaker 1: any Hollywood studio. So what happens is that now he's

2998
02:36:07,959 --> 02:36:10,920
Speaker 1: leasing the land back to the Hollywood studio. So they

2999
02:36:11,000 --> 02:36:13,959
Speaker 1: filmed some Black Panther at his studio. So Warner Brothers

3000
02:36:14,040 --> 02:36:18,000
Speaker 1: is paying him, Disney is paying him to film that

3001
02:36:18,200 --> 02:36:21,280
Speaker 1: movie at his studio, Like what I'm saying. So that's

3002
02:36:21,320 --> 02:36:23,360
Speaker 1: that's the real play behind it, is like he got

3003
02:36:23,560 --> 02:36:26,600
Speaker 1: so much land and he's created different sets. He got

3004
02:36:27,080 --> 02:36:28,720
Speaker 1: a set for the White House, he got a set

3005
02:36:28,800 --> 02:36:30,840
Speaker 1: that looks like Mississippi. He got a set that looks

3006
02:36:30,840 --> 02:36:33,400
Speaker 1: like New York City, all in this big campus in Atlanta.

3007
02:36:33,600 --> 02:36:36,120
Speaker 1: So now he's he's it's really a real estate play

3008
02:36:36,160 --> 02:36:37,600
Speaker 1: in it. So it's like when people just look on

3009
02:36:37,680 --> 02:36:39,400
Speaker 1: the surface. Yet he put on the dress. Yeah, I

3010
02:36:39,520 --> 02:36:41,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't put on it. Right, I'm not saying that you

3011
02:36:41,480 --> 02:36:44,560
Speaker 1: might not agree with that, but how they say every

3012
02:36:44,600 --> 02:36:47,040
Speaker 1: black man that's successful kind of like have to do that.

3013
02:36:49,040 --> 02:36:51,320
Speaker 1: But look but but but all right, so you don't

3014
02:36:51,360 --> 02:36:54,080
Speaker 1: have to do that, but but but but let me

3015
02:36:54,120 --> 02:36:55,879
Speaker 1: but let me say you can't with the words sell

3016
02:36:55,879 --> 02:36:59,600
Speaker 1: out because for me, you put on that dress to me,

3017
02:37:00,320 --> 02:37:04,920
Speaker 1: and regardless of however we context you alright, okay, but

3018
02:37:05,000 --> 02:37:07,200
Speaker 1: let me let me finish though, because we got nobody.

3019
02:37:07,240 --> 02:37:10,520
Speaker 1: We got nobody talking about drinking lean, we got nobody,

3020
02:37:10,560 --> 02:37:12,560
Speaker 1: we got a problem with nobody talking about popping pills.

3021
02:37:12,600 --> 02:37:15,800
Speaker 1: We got nobody talking about pimping women, killing another black man,

3022
02:37:15,879 --> 02:37:18,600
Speaker 1: what's worse, killing other black men. So what I'm saying

3023
02:37:18,720 --> 02:37:23,280
Speaker 1: is that we gotta be extremely careful about always criticizing,

3024
02:37:24,040 --> 02:37:27,520
Speaker 1: because you criticizing somebody but are you helping are you hurting?

3025
02:37:27,959 --> 02:37:31,680
Speaker 1: You're talking about drinking per meThe zine that's killing people

3026
02:37:31,879 --> 02:37:36,400
Speaker 1: is liquid heroin. You're turning the whole culture into drug addicts.

3027
02:37:36,440 --> 02:37:38,480
Speaker 1: These kids. If you ever seen somebody when they get

3028
02:37:38,480 --> 02:37:40,560
Speaker 1: off of that ship, it's like heroin. They it's the

3029
02:37:40,640 --> 02:37:44,400
Speaker 1: same effect when you start nodding and dozing, when you

3030
02:37:44,520 --> 02:37:46,800
Speaker 1: go off of withdrawals, you start scratching, you looking like

3031
02:37:46,879 --> 02:37:49,760
Speaker 1: a fucking rowing. So it's like, we gotta be extremely

3032
02:37:49,800 --> 02:37:52,959
Speaker 1: careful because it's like you promoting game culture and you're

3033
02:37:53,040 --> 02:37:56,120
Speaker 1: killing other black young boys fourteen years old that's dying

3034
02:37:56,200 --> 02:37:58,560
Speaker 1: over a flag. They don't even understand what they're killing

3035
02:37:58,600 --> 02:38:02,040
Speaker 1: each other four a It's like, just be careful, be

3036
02:38:02,160 --> 02:38:06,000
Speaker 1: careful criticizing and because we do that too much, and

3037
02:38:06,120 --> 02:38:08,440
Speaker 1: we throw around that word sell out and throw it out.

3038
02:38:08,440 --> 02:38:11,840
Speaker 1: And if somebody's employing five thousand people, like you know

3039
02:38:11,879 --> 02:38:14,920
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So it's like there's levels and there's perspective.

3040
02:38:17,120 --> 02:38:19,840
Speaker 1: This complexity to the life, therest complexity to life. People

3041
02:38:19,959 --> 02:38:22,840
Speaker 1: like like we we create hundred, we create businesses, and

3042
02:38:23,080 --> 02:38:25,720
Speaker 1: most times black businesses there's only one employee inside of

3043
02:38:25,760 --> 02:38:27,720
Speaker 1: that right as entrepreneurs. But you talk about a man

3044
02:38:27,720 --> 02:38:30,160
Speaker 1: who was playing a hundred fifty million salary go to

3045
02:38:30,200 --> 02:38:34,360
Speaker 1: black people and fifty millions, that's different. We've never seen

3046
02:38:34,400 --> 02:38:36,480
Speaker 1: anything like that. That's why I said, when you you

3047
02:38:36,600 --> 02:38:39,320
Speaker 1: have to actually see it, When you see the man's vision,

3048
02:38:39,879 --> 02:38:43,720
Speaker 1: it changes your mindset, like being on the property and understanding, like, yo,

3049
02:38:43,800 --> 02:38:45,440
Speaker 1: this is crazy. Like when he's talking about building the

3050
02:38:45,480 --> 02:38:47,920
Speaker 1: white house. Now, if somebody is creating a movie and

3051
02:38:47,959 --> 02:38:49,480
Speaker 1: they need a white house scene, who you think they call?

3052
02:38:49,680 --> 02:38:52,160
Speaker 1: They're calling him? And how many movies is like that?

3053
02:38:52,200 --> 02:38:54,280
Speaker 1: How many shows is like that? You do that? I mean,

3054
02:38:58,040 --> 02:39:00,920
Speaker 1: speak that man. It was always talked to settle on

3055
02:39:00,959 --> 02:39:03,160
Speaker 1: the best part. You understand me. It's not about what

3056
02:39:03,280 --> 02:39:05,280
Speaker 1: you don't like. Look for what we do like. You

3057
02:39:05,360 --> 02:39:07,680
Speaker 1: understand me. That's the common reality of how we build.

3058
02:39:08,160 --> 02:39:11,119
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm learning now that even if it's

3059
02:39:11,160 --> 02:39:13,360
Speaker 1: somebody I disagree with, But what are the things that

3060
02:39:13,400 --> 02:39:15,520
Speaker 1: I do agree with? Because you've been saying this whole time,

3061
02:39:15,800 --> 02:39:18,840
Speaker 1: you're Muslim, that's a masculine. Yeah, so obviously you can't

3062
02:39:18,840 --> 02:39:21,520
Speaker 1: agree with him. We're in a dress. Well, I don't

3063
02:39:21,560 --> 02:39:23,920
Speaker 1: think about that too much. I don't agree with no

3064
02:39:24,080 --> 02:39:26,480
Speaker 1: men wearing dresses. So it's not I don't personalize it

3065
02:39:26,520 --> 02:39:28,760
Speaker 1: to Tyler Perry, but I'll just look at the affeminate

3066
02:39:28,840 --> 02:39:31,800
Speaker 1: agenda black man period. A lot of you know when

3067
02:39:31,879 --> 02:39:35,200
Speaker 1: when when you're talking about people doing lean that effimilates you,

3068
02:39:35,560 --> 02:39:39,080
Speaker 1: you understand me, Like the Brothers, softest hell, sweaty handshakes,

3069
02:39:39,640 --> 02:39:42,600
Speaker 1: you understand me, so you know we all of it.

3070
02:39:42,760 --> 02:39:45,640
Speaker 1: To me, I'm looking at as the same characteristics, right

3071
02:39:45,760 --> 02:39:48,160
Speaker 1: the person that's had the choice right now we're lean.

3072
02:39:51,000 --> 02:40:01,360
Speaker 1: I'm doing neither. I mean just because because think about

3073
02:40:01,400 --> 02:40:03,600
Speaker 1: it though, when we talk about anti blackness, right, so

3074
02:40:03,840 --> 02:40:08,440
Speaker 1: promoting violence, death culture to our people's anti black promoting

3075
02:40:08,560 --> 02:40:12,480
Speaker 1: unhealthy products, promoting drugs, and promoting their feminization of black

3076
02:40:12,560 --> 02:40:15,160
Speaker 1: men to our people is unhealthy. Black men have it

3077
02:40:15,280 --> 02:40:17,920
Speaker 1: the worst in America statistically, right, we have it the

3078
02:40:18,000 --> 02:40:21,560
Speaker 1: work health wise, financial wise, prison, however you want to

3079
02:40:21,600 --> 02:40:23,920
Speaker 1: slice them. Statistics, we have it the worst. I'm talking

3080
02:40:23,959 --> 02:40:27,560
Speaker 1: about from cancer to everything. Yet there are no movements

3081
02:40:27,800 --> 02:40:32,280
Speaker 1: around sensitivity towards black man and true mental health programs.

3082
02:40:32,400 --> 02:40:35,160
Speaker 1: That's not what they Everybody uses the black man and

3083
02:40:35,280 --> 02:40:38,440
Speaker 1: his body for their agenda, even when we die, everybody

3084
02:40:38,520 --> 02:40:41,000
Speaker 1: else benefits, and they start creating all these programs and

3085
02:40:41,080 --> 02:40:43,400
Speaker 1: all these movements out of it. But part of that

3086
02:40:43,640 --> 02:40:46,280
Speaker 1: is the effeminization when you don't have your mind and

3087
02:40:46,360 --> 02:40:48,680
Speaker 1: your will. When I'm saying I'm masculin, masterling just means

3088
02:40:49,040 --> 02:40:54,600
Speaker 1: the traits typical of a man. No, no, sir, No, sorry,

3089
02:40:54,920 --> 02:40:57,800
Speaker 1: no sir, No, I'm good on that. You know, I

3090
02:40:57,920 --> 02:41:00,080
Speaker 1: got you know, mom, be Taylor. They'd be Taylor are

3091
02:41:00,120 --> 02:41:03,960
Speaker 1: they'd be precise to my measurements. But just just to that,

3092
02:41:05,520 --> 02:41:07,560
Speaker 1: maybe we just you know, we just get them exact,

3093
02:41:07,680 --> 02:41:10,160
Speaker 1: you know. No, But you know, growing up, I grew

3094
02:41:10,240 --> 02:41:12,160
Speaker 1: up in a suit and bow tide. You understand, we

3095
02:41:12,240 --> 02:41:15,000
Speaker 1: grew up we used to drill every day. Right, I've

3096
02:41:15,040 --> 02:41:17,360
Speaker 1: seen the example of real men with ownership and power

3097
02:41:17,440 --> 02:41:20,880
Speaker 1: growing up in Oakland, California. So my disposition of seeing

3098
02:41:20,920 --> 02:41:22,840
Speaker 1: a man in a dress is based on how I

3099
02:41:22,959 --> 02:41:25,320
Speaker 1: grew up in my perception of that. Right. And then

3100
02:41:25,360 --> 02:41:28,080
Speaker 1: when we look at Dave Chappelle, where Dave Chappelle spoke

3101
02:41:28,120 --> 02:41:30,840
Speaker 1: about the industry where they specifically want you to do

3102
02:41:31,000 --> 02:41:33,680
Speaker 1: things that rob you of your integrity. How many times

3103
02:41:33,760 --> 02:41:36,480
Speaker 1: you you you didn't see people they go to parties.

3104
02:41:36,520 --> 02:41:39,120
Speaker 1: They go to these places in the industry, things that

3105
02:41:39,280 --> 02:41:42,280
Speaker 1: typically will go against their integrity, they still do because

3106
02:41:42,320 --> 02:41:45,200
Speaker 1: in that space is judgment free. But when they get home,

3107
02:41:45,240 --> 02:41:48,959
Speaker 1: they judging themselves. They're killing themselves. They have to constantly drink,

3108
02:41:49,040 --> 02:41:51,400
Speaker 1: constantly socialized, so they don't have to think about the

3109
02:41:51,480 --> 02:41:53,920
Speaker 1: things that they're doing. Most of these men die while

3110
02:41:53,959 --> 02:41:56,360
Speaker 1: they're living. You understand me. They soul and their spirit

3111
02:41:56,440 --> 02:41:58,520
Speaker 1: ain't there no more. And that's what they do a

3112
02:41:58,600 --> 02:42:01,080
Speaker 1: lot of times. When they put prominent black bend in position,

3113
02:42:01,440 --> 02:42:04,000
Speaker 1: they've killed them, They've destroyed them, so they don't have

3114
02:42:04,200 --> 02:42:06,680
Speaker 1: that same will, and that's thing sparked to do something

3115
02:42:06,760 --> 02:42:09,080
Speaker 1: powerful and dangerous. Well, that's what you keep worried that

3116
02:42:09,120 --> 02:42:11,120
Speaker 1: you just said, is they put you in position. This

3117
02:42:11,240 --> 02:42:13,600
Speaker 1: is the good thing about us. We had no gate keeper.

3118
02:42:14,080 --> 02:42:16,280
Speaker 1: We didn't have nobody that passes to torch and say, okay,

3119
02:42:16,280 --> 02:42:18,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna greenlight a show for you, We're gonna give

3120
02:42:18,360 --> 02:42:20,160
Speaker 1: you a media company. Everything that we did we had

3121
02:42:20,200 --> 02:42:22,560
Speaker 1: to actually figure out for ourselves. Were powered by the people.

3122
02:42:22,800 --> 02:42:24,600
Speaker 1: So that gives us a tremendous amount of leverage, not

3123
02:42:24,680 --> 02:42:34,360
Speaker 1: only financially, but integrity. I sh but our shows about

3124
02:42:34,360 --> 02:42:39,280
Speaker 1: giving people off the flowers. Fear you brothers take it.

3125
02:42:39,680 --> 02:42:44,040
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Yeah, all three of your brothers really deserved

3126
02:42:44,120 --> 02:42:53,360
Speaker 1: this not real talk um, because teaching a culture or

3127
02:42:53,440 --> 02:42:59,960
Speaker 1: teaching people high financial freedom to know that it doesn't

3128
02:43:00,040 --> 02:43:03,080
Speaker 1: matter if you started out, bro, you can come, you

3129
02:43:03,160 --> 02:43:06,520
Speaker 1: can invest. Like I've seen I forget what's this asian

3130
02:43:07,440 --> 02:43:11,320
Speaker 1: um realtor and he was like, yo, my first first

3131
02:43:11,360 --> 02:43:13,760
Speaker 1: He's like, my first ship I bought was eighteen thousand,

3132
02:43:14,200 --> 02:43:15,800
Speaker 1: so he said he brought it and then he lived

3133
02:43:15,840 --> 02:43:19,000
Speaker 1: in it, and then he rented the other two units.

3134
02:43:19,200 --> 02:43:21,279
Speaker 1: And it's like everyone think you gotta have eight hundred

3135
02:43:21,320 --> 02:43:25,440
Speaker 1: thousand or whatever. Like it's just like and then when

3136
02:43:25,440 --> 02:43:26,880
Speaker 1: I've seen that, I was like, all right, cool, there's

Speaker 1: I've ever seen this, I've ever seen people talking. What's

3143
02:43:50,480 --> 02:43:56,240
Speaker 1: the other dude, Tony Roberts relate to this guy not

3144
02:43:56,360 --> 02:44:02,480
Speaker 1: going to like the closest dam I got hit bro,

3146
02:44:06,280 --> 02:44:08,520

3148
02:44:13,160 --> 02:44:16,720
Speaker 1: season always you know, I was looking the same. But

3149
02:44:16,879 --> 02:44:19,880
Speaker 1: what you guys are doing, especially with the crypto, we

3150
02:44:19,920 --> 02:44:23,600
Speaker 1: don't speaking about the crypto yet. Crypto? What's the crypto?

3151
02:44:25,400 --> 02:44:33,920
Speaker 1: Not he talking about citation? What's what's the ship? What's

02:44:33,959 --> 02:44:37,080
Speaker 1: the ship? Um? What's the ship that we um? Interior?

3153
02:44:38,080 --> 02:44:54,080
Speaker 1: Any working out for me on any week? I'm looking

02:44:54,200 --> 02:44:58,040
Speaker 1: like what stop looking stot. I gotta let it go

3155
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:04,360
Speaker 1: crazy crazy, be like the only it's only fucking past

3156
02:45:04,440 --> 02:45:11,960
Speaker 1: word cold. I know, don't forget that. It is great,

3157
02:45:12,040 --> 02:45:17,680
Speaker 1: that's the pastor, y know, but but stop working out

3158
02:45:17,720 --> 02:45:20,240
Speaker 1: for me. It's guy's not working out for anybody right now,

3159
02:45:20,280 --> 02:45:25,360
Speaker 1: relying let's term, He's just going through it like my

3160
02:45:25,680 --> 02:45:28,360
Speaker 1: theory is going down. I remember when he first got something.

3161
02:45:28,440 --> 02:45:30,280
Speaker 1: I called him, I said, dude, they got access to

3162
02:45:30,400 --> 02:45:33,120
Speaker 1: my account and then he goes what he yeah that

3163
02:45:33,280 --> 02:45:38,720
Speaker 1: somebody rob you the theory that the market was changing

3164
02:45:38,879 --> 02:45:44,840
Speaker 1: he thought here because how about making money? But by

3165
02:45:44,879 --> 02:45:46,600
Speaker 1: the way, I said it way dumber and I just

3166
02:45:46,640 --> 02:45:49,520
Speaker 1: said it and he was like, the only people that's

3167
02:45:49,560 --> 02:45:52,199
Speaker 1: making money right now crypto. The people that's trading crypto,

3168
02:45:52,640 --> 02:45:55,039
Speaker 1: you understand me. So as its fluction aint going up

3169
02:45:55,080 --> 02:45:57,039
Speaker 1: and down, they buying out and they settling, they buying,

3170
02:45:57,120 --> 02:46:00,600
Speaker 1: they selling, right. So even when you talk about the

3171
02:46:00,760 --> 02:46:03,800
Speaker 1: SBF thing, that's what he's doing. He was an arbitarge trader, right,

3172
02:46:04,800 --> 02:46:09,240
Speaker 1: f TX but what's his name's Sam banked me free.

3173
02:46:09,320 --> 02:46:11,640
Speaker 1: So that's why I say FBF right, because I've been

3174
02:46:11,680 --> 02:46:14,480
Speaker 1: seeing the SBF more than anything. And when you talk

3175
02:46:14,480 --> 02:46:17,800
Speaker 1: about the media where they've been portraying him right, because

3176
02:46:17,879 --> 02:46:20,200
Speaker 1: he's given so much money to media and so much

3177
02:46:20,280 --> 02:46:25,400
Speaker 1: money to these political parties, many they praising them almost

3178
02:46:25,520 --> 02:46:27,720
Speaker 1: why they're talking about his situation like it's just a

3179
02:46:27,800 --> 02:46:31,840
Speaker 1: down the fact that he lost billions of dollars and

3180
02:46:31,920 --> 02:46:35,240
Speaker 1: the people have lost hundred hundreds of millions he was

3181
02:46:35,280 --> 02:46:37,400
Speaker 1: worth We don't even get the opportunity to make who

3182
02:46:37,480 --> 02:46:40,720
Speaker 1: was in the state. Yeah, yeah, but he's not. Yeah,

3183
02:46:40,760 --> 02:46:44,600
Speaker 1: he's a cryptograg exchange. But with that is that it

3184
02:46:44,720 --> 02:46:50,320
Speaker 1: was centralized exchange at the stadium. The arena area was called.

3185
02:46:51,560 --> 02:47:02,600
Speaker 1: He got talking about the cheap then a contract for

3186
02:47:02,640 --> 02:47:07,400
Speaker 1: American Airlines arena. That's the reason why it changed. He's

3187
02:47:07,400 --> 02:47:10,000
Speaker 1: the person that owns f who got the cryptoa that's

3188
02:47:10,000 --> 02:47:15,280
Speaker 1: crypto dot com. That's but what do you guys think

3189
02:47:15,320 --> 02:47:17,480
Speaker 1: happened in that situation? What do you think that what

3190
02:47:18,760 --> 02:47:21,320
Speaker 1: they're saying, what they're saying is that and like I said,

3191
02:47:21,320 --> 02:47:24,440
Speaker 1: it's alleged, but they're saying that pretty much. He was

3192
02:47:24,560 --> 02:47:29,120
Speaker 1: using money from from investors to fund other projects. What

3193
02:47:29,280 --> 02:47:32,400
Speaker 1: happened was that some pyramids style, that's what they say.

3194
02:47:34,680 --> 02:47:36,600
Speaker 1: You're in the space, so you know, you know finance,

3195
02:47:37,200 --> 02:47:41,840
Speaker 1: So a report was published that was unfavorable to uh

3196
02:47:42,120 --> 02:47:45,320
Speaker 1: F t X that that they have token. So Finance

3197
02:47:45,600 --> 02:47:48,600
Speaker 1: had a lot of their coins. Finance pulled their money out.

3198
02:47:48,879 --> 02:47:50,960
Speaker 1: Once Finance pulled their money out and made all the

3199
02:47:51,000 --> 02:47:53,640
Speaker 1: investors scared, and now it was a rush on the bank.

3200
02:47:54,040 --> 02:47:56,080
Speaker 1: Now a lot of people started to pull their money out.

3201
02:47:56,120 --> 02:47:58,119
Speaker 1: They didn't have enough money to pay back every single

3202
02:47:58,160 --> 02:47:59,840
Speaker 1: person I wanted to put their money out, and the

3203
02:48:00,000 --> 02:48:03,039
Speaker 1: collapse it over there. It's like within within one day,

3204
02:48:03,200 --> 02:48:07,400
Speaker 1: they wanted five billion back five billions, right, it's like,

3205
02:48:07,840 --> 02:48:11,400
Speaker 1: but here's the illest part. Right, So Binance, Right, the

3206
02:48:11,600 --> 02:48:14,640
Speaker 1: CEO of Binances like, we might you know what, we'll

3207
02:48:14,680 --> 02:48:17,320
Speaker 1: help you out. We'll buy your exchange. Before we buy

3208
02:48:17,320 --> 02:48:19,439
Speaker 1: the exchange, we need to see the paperwork on your finances.

3209
02:48:20,040 --> 02:48:22,000
Speaker 1: So when they look at the finances, they're looking at

3210
02:48:22,040 --> 02:48:24,680
Speaker 1: it like, yo, this is this This ain't really like

3211
02:48:24,760 --> 02:48:27,400
Speaker 1: they don't really have no legit business. So they pulled

3212
02:48:27,400 --> 02:48:29,200
Speaker 1: out of the deal. Now like on top of one

3213
02:48:29,240 --> 02:48:31,480
Speaker 1: of the five billion they've seen that buiance, which could

3214
02:48:31,480 --> 02:48:33,200
Speaker 1: have rescued him, saying now we're not doing this. They

3215
02:48:33,200 --> 02:48:36,640
Speaker 1: don't even have legit paperwork. You got a guy who

3216
02:48:36,640 --> 02:48:39,920
Speaker 1: goes from twenty nine billion net worth, right what they're

3217
02:48:39,920 --> 02:48:43,200
Speaker 1: saying to like nine hundred thousand within forty eight hours.

3218
02:48:44,000 --> 02:48:50,320
Speaker 1: What Yeah, he said it not not a hundred million.

3219
02:48:50,400 --> 02:48:53,360
Speaker 1: He was still worth a hundred hundred not even still

3220
02:48:54,160 --> 02:48:56,400
Speaker 1: he was still worth eight hundred He lost about billion

3221
02:48:56,400 --> 02:48:59,720
Speaker 1: dollars that's how much. I thought. It was just eight

3222
02:48:59,760 --> 02:49:02,640
Speaker 1: billion and he lost, which they said he was worth billion,

3223
02:49:02,920 --> 02:49:05,360
Speaker 1: and when a day later he was worth eight hundred million.

3224
02:49:05,480 --> 02:49:10,600
Speaker 1: That he lost. But what about people's money lost to

3225
02:49:10,760 --> 02:49:14,840
Speaker 1: Tom Brady is involved in that. But one of the

3226
02:49:14,959 --> 02:49:18,600
Speaker 1: biggest keys on that though, is that everything that happened

3227
02:49:18,640 --> 02:49:21,840
Speaker 1: with his change is like centralized issues still is when

3228
02:49:21,920 --> 02:49:24,760
Speaker 1: one person actually owns the pot and controls the pot.

3229
02:49:25,840 --> 02:49:29,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't crypto that failed. It was the exchange, the banks,

3230
02:49:29,040 --> 02:49:32,360
Speaker 1: the investments, the over leveraging, all the standard stuff that

3231
02:49:32,440 --> 02:49:36,560
Speaker 1: happens with regular banks. It's just brought into the crypto space, right,

3232
02:49:36,640 --> 02:49:38,840
Speaker 1: So most people were thinking like, oh, there's a crypto

3233
02:49:39,000 --> 02:49:41,720
Speaker 1: that failed. No, it was Sam Bankman Fried. It was

3234
02:49:41,800 --> 02:49:44,560
Speaker 1: the regular white man and naked balls of institutions of

3235
02:49:44,640 --> 02:49:48,280
Speaker 1: banks over leveraging trusting him, and that's what failed, and

3236
02:49:48,320 --> 02:49:50,360
Speaker 1: people lost their money the same way like any other

3237
02:49:50,440 --> 02:49:53,440
Speaker 1: Ponzi scheme with a bank. So now everybody's saying that

3238
02:49:53,440 --> 02:49:56,960
Speaker 1: if you are on crypto, don't have it on in exchange, right,

3239
02:49:57,040 --> 02:49:59,440
Speaker 1: because if something happens to that exchange, they can't pay

3240
02:49:59,520 --> 02:50:05,720
Speaker 1: you out, right. So that's why I think won't pay out. Right.

3241
02:50:05,800 --> 02:50:10,520
Speaker 1: There's some terms in the agreement, but not specifically, they

3242
02:50:10,600 --> 02:50:13,920
Speaker 1: won't pay you out, you understand me, and increments if

3243
02:50:13,959 --> 02:50:15,800
Speaker 1: you want to pull out if they don't have it.

3244
02:50:15,879 --> 02:50:18,680
Speaker 1: But what they're saying is they said that they have

3245
02:50:18,760 --> 02:50:21,720
Speaker 1: an asset per asset, so if they say they got

3246
02:50:21,760 --> 02:50:24,280
Speaker 1: one big coin, they actually have a big coin. So therefore,

3247
02:50:24,280 --> 02:50:26,440
Speaker 1: if everybody wants to take it out, then everybody can.

3248
02:50:26,560 --> 02:50:28,880
Speaker 1: That's a difference. But if you get crypto and you

3249
02:50:28,959 --> 02:50:31,160
Speaker 1: hold it in your own what they call a cold wallet,

3250
02:50:31,520 --> 02:50:33,560
Speaker 1: then it don't matter what happens to the exchange you got,

3251
02:50:33,640 --> 02:50:36,120
Speaker 1: and that was the whole point of cryptocurrency, to not

3252
02:50:36,280 --> 02:50:39,400
Speaker 1: have it under centralized authority. Well, one person has control,

3253
02:50:39,800 --> 02:50:42,280
Speaker 1: or something happens to that institution, the money goes down

3254
02:50:42,320 --> 02:50:44,920
Speaker 1: and you lose favor. No, it's saying that you got

3255
02:50:45,000 --> 02:50:47,520
Speaker 1: your money, put it in your wallet, so no matter

3256
02:50:47,600 --> 02:50:50,320
Speaker 1: what happens, you're good. That's the whole point a lot

3257
02:50:50,360 --> 02:50:52,600
Speaker 1: of people, whether it's the crypto or the n f T.

3258
02:50:53,000 --> 02:50:56,039
Speaker 1: That goes back to education. If you don't educate yourself,

3259
02:50:56,080 --> 02:50:58,879
Speaker 1: you're ignorantly going into another asset class where you're gonna

3260
02:50:58,920 --> 02:51:01,560
Speaker 1: fail the same way you did the previously one. Right,

3261
02:51:01,640 --> 02:51:04,280
Speaker 1: So we have to get educated on every single thing

3262
02:51:04,400 --> 02:51:07,080
Speaker 1: that happens because it could be beneficial tools. We could

3263
02:51:07,240 --> 02:51:09,800
Speaker 1: use it for a tool. But if we don't get

3264
02:51:09,959 --> 02:51:12,240
Speaker 1: educated and we're ignorant, then we're left up to the

3265
02:51:12,320 --> 02:51:15,520
Speaker 1: people who are educated and hoping that they don't play

3266
02:51:15,560 --> 02:51:18,080
Speaker 1: a scheme on it like they always. The part about

3267
02:51:18,120 --> 02:51:22,160
Speaker 1: the the decentralization is that where's the regulation, right? So

3268
02:51:22,320 --> 02:51:24,400
Speaker 1: like if I look for a balance sheet that you

3269
02:51:24,480 --> 02:51:26,000
Speaker 1: can't provide it for me, Like I don't have to

3270
02:51:26,040 --> 02:51:28,400
Speaker 1: provide you with that. That's part of it. Let's let's

3271
02:51:28,440 --> 02:51:32,240
Speaker 1: talk about the average person in the hood. Yeah, you know,

3272
02:51:32,840 --> 02:51:37,920
Speaker 1: a couple of dollars, wants to leave the hood, doesn't

3273
02:51:37,959 --> 02:51:40,920
Speaker 1: know how to invest. It's crypto something. I'm going to

3274
02:51:41,120 --> 02:51:44,080
Speaker 1: educate yourself first. The first thing you should invest in

3275
02:51:44,320 --> 02:51:48,720
Speaker 1: your mind. That's the greatest as. But let's suppose I'm

3276
02:51:51,920 --> 02:51:53,120
Speaker 1: People say that all the time, like if I got

3277
02:51:53,120 --> 02:51:54,760
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars, what should I do? I'm trying to

3278
02:51:54,760 --> 02:51:58,680
Speaker 1: flip a thousand? All so he not get a a ball,

3279
02:52:00,280 --> 02:52:08,480
Speaker 1: don't get, don't get. Don't for not getting not getting,

3280
02:52:09,760 --> 02:52:14,119
Speaker 1: don't get. Here's the thing it's important to have. Let's

3281
02:52:14,160 --> 02:52:16,760
Speaker 1: talk to the guy who's wanting. I'm gonna talk to them.

3282
02:52:17,600 --> 02:52:20,800
Speaker 1: It's important to have realistic expectations because when you have

3283
02:52:20,959 --> 02:52:24,360
Speaker 1: false expectations, that's when things go go left. You think

3284
02:52:24,360 --> 02:52:25,959
Speaker 1: you've got a thousand dollars, You're gonna make a million

3285
02:52:26,000 --> 02:52:28,040
Speaker 1: dollars tomorrow. That's you know what I'm saying, Like, you're gonna,

3286
02:52:28,320 --> 02:52:30,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna, you're gonna do things. That's that's gonna be

3287
02:52:30,879 --> 02:52:35,680
Speaker 1: a So what I always tell people, it's like right

3288
02:52:35,680 --> 02:52:37,280
Speaker 1: now we are on an invest in wave. Right now.

3289
02:52:37,280 --> 02:52:39,920
Speaker 1: Everybody wants to be an investor, but investing goes hand

3290
02:52:39,959 --> 02:52:42,040
Speaker 1: in hand with making money. That's probably gotta talk about business.

3291
02:52:42,120 --> 02:52:44,000
Speaker 1: I'd like to talk about business even more than investing

3292
02:52:44,120 --> 02:52:45,920
Speaker 1: because it's like if you don't have money to invest,

3293
02:52:46,080 --> 02:52:48,960
Speaker 1: then you can't invest. So it's like for us, like

3294
02:52:49,040 --> 02:52:52,160
Speaker 1: we started a cash flowing positive business. Startup business will

3295
02:52:52,200 --> 02:52:55,760
Speaker 1: low overhead, that has ability to scale that you can

3296
02:52:55,800 --> 02:53:01,680
Speaker 1: actually produce revenue within twelve to eighteen months passanto, Yes,

3297
02:53:06,440 --> 02:53:13,160
Speaker 1: that cleans us. It's keep your ninety and so before

3298
02:53:13,680 --> 02:53:15,840
Speaker 1: before before you invest in another business, why don't you

3299
02:53:15,879 --> 02:53:18,800
Speaker 1: invest in your own business? The business you're talking about,

3300
02:53:18,840 --> 02:53:21,200
Speaker 1: is it the trucking business? Any business? Like we started

3301
02:53:21,600 --> 02:53:23,560
Speaker 1: we started this business of a podcast business. That was

3302
02:53:23,600 --> 02:53:25,720
Speaker 1: the business that we started. So that's what works for us.

3303
02:53:25,959 --> 02:53:28,200
Speaker 1: But what's your business is it? Is it gonna be merch,

3304
02:53:28,640 --> 02:53:30,440
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be selling products? Is like you know

3305
02:53:30,440 --> 02:53:32,000
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Figure that out. That's what we got

3306
02:53:32,120 --> 02:53:34,959
Speaker 1: to figure out before before you invest in any other business,

3307
02:53:35,000 --> 02:53:37,680
Speaker 1: invest in your own business. The thousand dollars, what do

3308
02:53:37,760 --> 02:53:39,959
Speaker 1: you what's that recommendation for the thousand dollar I can

3309
02:53:39,959 --> 02:53:41,920
Speaker 1: only tell you got a lot of money today. It's

3310
02:53:41,920 --> 02:53:43,840
Speaker 1: a lot of the money. We started. We started earning

3311
02:53:43,840 --> 02:53:47,760
Speaker 1: Alicia with dollars, not even like like so it's like

3312
02:53:48,160 --> 02:53:50,320
Speaker 1: my brother. It depends, it depends on it depends on

3313
02:53:50,360 --> 02:53:55,119
Speaker 1: how you getting me smarter as the minute go smary

3314
02:53:55,160 --> 02:53:56,960
Speaker 1: time he passed me. So, here's the few businesses that

3315
02:53:57,000 --> 02:53:59,120
Speaker 1: you can start with with a thousand dollars, right. You

3316
02:53:59,160 --> 02:54:02,480
Speaker 1: can start a podcast, which we started a podcast. I'm

3317
02:54:02,480 --> 02:54:04,840
Speaker 1: not just speaking from you know. We actually started a

3318
02:54:04,920 --> 02:54:06,760
Speaker 1: podcast and now we're growing from the media company. We

3319
02:54:06,879 --> 02:54:09,000
Speaker 1: ain't start with any money. We started with iPhones and

3320
02:54:09,000 --> 02:54:11,080
Speaker 1: were starting with shotgun mics that we had somebody else

3321
02:54:11,120 --> 02:54:13,800
Speaker 1: that lent us the microphones. That's not that's not hard

3322
02:54:13,840 --> 02:54:15,480
Speaker 1: to do. You put the you put the content on

3323
02:54:15,600 --> 02:54:17,680
Speaker 1: social media, you produce it, you put it on YouTube.

3324
02:54:17,680 --> 02:54:19,760
Speaker 1: Platforms are there, they're free to saw that you can

3325
02:54:19,800 --> 02:54:22,360
Speaker 1: start a merged company with no money. We talked about before,

3326
02:54:22,440 --> 02:54:24,840
Speaker 1: how you have um the man print that company that

3327
02:54:24,879 --> 02:54:32,520
Speaker 1: we print company that is free where you actually somebody

3328
02:54:32,640 --> 02:54:34,879
Speaker 1: orders a T shirt, you give them a design. Now

3329
02:54:35,240 --> 02:54:37,680
Speaker 1: when they order it, then they printed up and they

3330
02:54:37,760 --> 02:54:39,680
Speaker 1: shipped it for you. They take a lot of the margin,

3331
02:54:40,280 --> 02:54:42,560
Speaker 1: but it's not cost you any money. Now once you

3332
02:54:42,640 --> 02:54:44,520
Speaker 1: get enough money, now you can go directly to the

3333
02:54:45,520 --> 02:54:49,080
Speaker 1: manufacturing first. It's just not having overhead from the beginning exactly.

3334
02:54:49,560 --> 02:54:52,080
Speaker 1: We don't We don't take on any inventory, you know

3335
02:54:52,080 --> 02:54:53,840
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. We don't take on any return like

3336
02:54:53,959 --> 02:54:56,120
Speaker 1: they do. All that all we did was create the design.

3337
02:54:56,240 --> 02:54:59,520
Speaker 1: We created the community that wanted the design, and they

3338
02:54:59,520 --> 02:55:02,600
Speaker 1: ship it out force. And it's learning skill sets that

3339
02:55:02,760 --> 02:55:05,840
Speaker 1: become businesses. Like yeah, I said these, this is my

3340
02:55:05,920 --> 02:55:08,480
Speaker 1: Crown Society business. So we got these, We got the hats,

3341
02:55:08,560 --> 02:55:10,360
Speaker 1: we got clothing, you know, I mean, we got a

3342
02:55:10,400 --> 02:55:13,880
Speaker 1: bunch of different things that we got the health products. Right,

3343
02:55:14,040 --> 02:55:16,480
Speaker 1: I do coaching, so it's like everything that I do,

3344
02:55:16,640 --> 02:55:18,760
Speaker 1: I teach. Right, this is a family business, one that

3345
02:55:18,879 --> 02:55:21,760
Speaker 1: I hired my whole family right here. This is the

3346
02:55:21,800 --> 02:55:25,520
Speaker 1: gold water you ever heard of claudio silver, So this

3347
02:55:25,680 --> 02:55:32,040
Speaker 1: is claudial gold. Yes. So we're born with zero pointed

3348
02:55:32,120 --> 02:55:34,880
Speaker 1: zero cent goal within our body. So we're born with

3349
02:55:34,959 --> 02:55:37,920
Speaker 1: all these different minerals within our body. We have gold

3350
02:55:37,959 --> 02:55:40,560
Speaker 1: within our body. I've been trying to tell you that

3351
02:55:41,400 --> 02:55:44,160
Speaker 1: our body. Yeah, we do. But when you increase certain

3352
02:55:44,200 --> 02:55:47,560
Speaker 1: minerals within the body to have effects, right, mamnesium zing

3353
02:55:47,760 --> 02:55:50,080
Speaker 1: all these different things, same thing with silver and gold.

3354
02:55:50,160 --> 02:55:53,160
Speaker 1: Gold is a super conductive electricity. It was the ancient

3355
02:55:53,200 --> 02:55:55,440
Speaker 1: Egyptians that used to utilize it back in the day.

3356
02:55:55,480 --> 02:55:58,400
Speaker 1: They believed it was the elixir of immortality. So they

3357
02:55:58,480 --> 02:56:00,880
Speaker 1: believe that because it's the only the men that doesn't rest,

3358
02:56:00,959 --> 02:56:02,959
Speaker 1: that if you continue to drink it, then you won't

3359
02:56:03,000 --> 02:56:05,720
Speaker 1: rest essentially. So, but they used to take it in

3360
02:56:05,760 --> 02:56:11,480
Speaker 1: the power. Yeah, you're drinking gold, so it's in smart Yeah.

3361
02:56:11,680 --> 02:56:21,080
Speaker 1: So historically it's been known to be good for anti inflammation, ending.

3362
02:56:21,200 --> 02:56:24,120
Speaker 1: Some people report having like super lucid dreams because you

3363
02:56:24,200 --> 02:56:27,040
Speaker 1: got all this electrical activity in the mind. So there's

3364
02:56:27,160 --> 02:56:30,320
Speaker 1: multiple benefits. We got that, we got smart mass. Yeah,

3365
02:56:30,400 --> 02:56:33,720
Speaker 1: we got new tropics. That one is like that's a

3366
02:56:33,920 --> 02:56:36,320
Speaker 1: vitamin C moss, you understand me. So we need that

3367
02:56:36,480 --> 02:56:40,240
Speaker 1: during different seasonal cycles really all the time. So it

3368
02:56:40,320 --> 02:56:43,720
Speaker 1: has sea moss in there, it has vitamin C in there. Um.

3369
02:56:43,879 --> 02:56:46,040
Speaker 1: That one also has a few other different ones. We

3370
02:56:46,200 --> 02:56:48,440
Speaker 1: just named it moss because it has that's the base

3371
02:56:48,520 --> 02:56:51,240
Speaker 1: of it. But it's like we got sports mass when

3372
02:56:51,360 --> 02:56:53,560
Speaker 1: it has like quarter sceps because we got shrooms in there.

3373
02:56:53,640 --> 02:56:55,600
Speaker 1: So these are medicinal shrooms that we put in their

3374
02:56:55,680 --> 02:57:01,560
Speaker 1: same thing with smart that we got. The smart months

3375
02:57:01,680 --> 02:57:08,840
Speaker 1: has t think about it like them we got. We

3376
02:57:08,920 --> 02:57:11,200
Speaker 1: got the liquor curture. Now magic with the liquor courture

3377
02:57:11,280 --> 02:57:13,199
Speaker 1: go hand in hand with the health courtre though, because

3378
02:57:14,040 --> 02:57:21,600
Speaker 1: you wake up that's that's that's but we gotta that's

3379
02:57:21,640 --> 02:57:25,160
Speaker 1: another conversation. The mental health issues in the black community

3380
02:57:25,280 --> 02:57:28,560
Speaker 1: or brain health issues. You understand me. We over chemicalize

3381
02:57:28,560 --> 02:57:31,240
Speaker 1: and undermineralize. You're trying to get somebody in the hood

3382
02:57:31,320 --> 02:57:34,720
Speaker 1: to focus to learn. They can't. They can't focus more

3383
02:57:34,760 --> 02:57:37,760
Speaker 1: than eight seconds like a fish. So and there's the

3384
02:57:37,800 --> 02:57:40,640
Speaker 1: adderall shortage. But if you bring something like sports monks

3385
02:57:40,680 --> 02:57:42,680
Speaker 1: what we have, it's allowing you to sit there and focus.

3386
02:57:43,160 --> 02:57:45,800
Speaker 1: We go through different peace cycles throughout the day, so

3387
02:57:46,200 --> 02:57:48,600
Speaker 1: there are cycles where we can't focus cycles what we can't.

3388
02:57:48,600 --> 02:57:51,040
Speaker 1: But when we eat wrong and our gut health is

3389
02:57:51,080 --> 02:57:53,800
Speaker 1: bad and our body is bad, then we're losing that focus.

3390
02:57:53,879 --> 02:57:55,880
Speaker 1: We can't concentrate, so we can never get into that

3391
02:57:56,000 --> 02:57:58,360
Speaker 1: flow state. You understand me. And so when you're talking

3392
02:57:58,360 --> 02:58:01,560
Speaker 1: about black people doing business, you know wealth comes from health.

3393
02:58:01,720 --> 02:58:04,240
Speaker 1: You're talking about health, you're talking about being financially healthy

3394
02:58:04,400 --> 02:58:07,760
Speaker 1: when you're talking about wealth. So we first in our neighborhoods,

3395
02:58:07,800 --> 02:58:10,520
Speaker 1: we got food deserts where you don't have access to

3396
02:58:10,640 --> 02:58:14,080
Speaker 1: nutrient available food. Same thing why I called the financial desert,

3397
02:58:14,080 --> 02:58:16,520
Speaker 1: because you don't have access right to somebody who can

3398
02:58:16,560 --> 02:58:19,840
Speaker 1: give you financial education or give you financial advice. So

3399
02:58:20,040 --> 02:58:21,960
Speaker 1: we want to change anything, we have to start with

3400
02:58:22,040 --> 02:58:24,280
Speaker 1: the diets of our people, the way we eat what

3401
02:58:24,440 --> 02:58:26,720
Speaker 1: we in take, and then look at the food. Doesn't

3402
02:58:26,840 --> 02:58:31,360
Speaker 1: look at pacifically the type of restaurants in our neighborhoods.

3403
02:58:31,720 --> 02:58:33,960
Speaker 1: You got the Jack in the Boxes, you got the Windy's,

3404
02:58:34,240 --> 02:58:37,320
Speaker 1: you got the murder Donalds, all of these different ones.

3405
02:58:37,720 --> 02:58:41,400
Speaker 1: They're there to kill us. McDonald look crazy me, right,

3406
02:58:41,920 --> 02:58:44,480
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying there's a and that, and it's

3407
02:58:44,520 --> 02:58:47,280
Speaker 1: a desert and that kills us. So the spur count

3408
02:58:47,360 --> 02:58:54,080
Speaker 1: is decreasing you. It's seriously because during COVID nineteen they

3409
02:58:54,120 --> 02:58:57,640
Speaker 1: said that we had the highest predisposition right to the

3410
02:58:57,720 --> 02:59:00,959
Speaker 1: higher rates of illnesses. But nobody addressed that fact at all.

3411
02:59:01,520 --> 02:59:04,320
Speaker 1: Nobody is talking about the fact that we will talk

3412
02:59:04,400 --> 02:59:06,920
Speaker 1: about business and then we will put the same things

3413
02:59:07,000 --> 02:59:09,440
Speaker 1: that kill us in our neighborhoods in the name of capitalism.

3414
02:59:09,800 --> 02:59:13,000
Speaker 1: So that's why I talk about social entrepreneurship and social good.

3415
02:59:13,400 --> 02:59:15,520
Speaker 1: If we're going to do it, do it like my

3416
02:59:15,640 --> 02:59:17,959
Speaker 1: brother in the locks, you understand me to where he's

3417
02:59:18,000 --> 02:59:20,880
Speaker 1: putting something stouse pete, where he's putting up a juice

3418
02:59:20,959 --> 02:59:23,840
Speaker 1: bar in his neighborhood. That's a good I don't really

3419
02:59:23,920 --> 02:59:25,680
Speaker 1: care about. If you just do business, you have to

3420
02:59:25,720 --> 02:59:28,080
Speaker 1: do good business, and business that is good for us.

3421
02:59:28,560 --> 02:59:31,560
Speaker 1: So our people suffer from a lack of being able

3422
02:59:31,600 --> 02:59:37,080
Speaker 1: to focus right. Entertainment is a fight between entertainment and education,

3423
02:59:37,160 --> 02:59:39,440
Speaker 1: and this is why we make an entertainment so that

3424
02:59:39,640 --> 02:59:42,800
Speaker 1: is educational entertaining so we can actually get your attention.

3425
02:59:43,320 --> 02:59:46,119
Speaker 1: The greatest fight right now is for black people's attention.

3426
02:59:46,480 --> 02:59:49,160
Speaker 1: Black people's attention is worth one point six trillion dollars.

3427
02:59:49,240 --> 02:59:51,520
Speaker 1: That's why you understand me. So we can get your

3428
02:59:51,520 --> 02:59:54,600
Speaker 1: attention to products that will actually help you. That's healthy

3429
02:59:54,680 --> 02:59:57,280
Speaker 1: for you, that it gets you thinking about vision, long

3430
02:59:57,480 --> 03:00:01,720
Speaker 1: term thinking, business education and develop an these skills. Black people,

3431
03:00:02,959 --> 03:00:07,640
Speaker 1: smart moss, smart masses. Black people's out of raw black people. Yeah,

3432
03:00:08,240 --> 03:00:10,960
Speaker 1: so I know how my white people get down. White

3433
03:00:10,959 --> 03:00:16,640
Speaker 1: people don't take it to take. But before I think skill,

3434
03:00:16,720 --> 03:00:20,199
Speaker 1: since you asked about that, and if you asked about

3435
03:00:20,200 --> 03:00:21,880
Speaker 1: that thousand dollars, I want to I want to finish

3436
03:00:21,920 --> 03:00:23,160
Speaker 1: that because I don't get a chance to finish it,

3437
03:00:24,080 --> 03:00:28,160
Speaker 1: I said, I said clothing. I said, uh, media with podcasts,

3438
03:00:28,800 --> 03:00:34,440
Speaker 1: uh vending machine talk about it episode. Absolutely absolutely, that's

3439
03:00:34,440 --> 03:00:38,240
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Use vendom machines. So like you think

3440
03:00:38,240 --> 03:00:40,480
Speaker 1: about it, like you put it in places like obviously

3441
03:00:40,560 --> 03:00:42,520
Speaker 1: we went back to our old high school, right and

3442
03:00:42,600 --> 03:00:44,800
Speaker 1: we looked at it. We're like, there's no vendom machines here.

3443
03:00:45,040 --> 03:00:48,440
Speaker 1: This is an opportune place right now. We ain't putting

3444
03:00:48,480 --> 03:00:50,880
Speaker 1: in high school. Not not in high school, but you

3445
03:00:50,920 --> 03:00:57,800
Speaker 1: could do that college college. Yeah, they haven't sex, but

3446
03:00:58,080 --> 03:00:59,720
Speaker 1: it might be contal if we put in hig school.

3447
03:00:59,760 --> 03:01:03,200
Speaker 1: But Kyle, just that's definitely control perfect. Places like in

3448
03:01:03,360 --> 03:01:05,720
Speaker 1: l A, like they put marijuana inside the vendom machines,

3449
03:01:05,760 --> 03:01:07,440
Speaker 1: but most people they use the venom machines, but they

3450
03:01:07,480 --> 03:01:09,680
Speaker 1: don't look it as a business opportunity. We looked at

3451
03:01:09,720 --> 03:01:11,680
Speaker 1: it like, Yo, there's no venom machines in the high school.

3452
03:01:11,840 --> 03:01:13,680
Speaker 1: These kids that are transporting every day, I know they're

3453
03:01:13,720 --> 03:01:15,760
Speaker 1: not eating breakfast. We got healthy oppotions that we can

3454
03:01:15,800 --> 03:01:17,400
Speaker 1: put inside these venom machines. On top of it, we

3455
03:01:17,440 --> 03:01:19,720
Speaker 1: can put water inside the other venoties. So we're looking

3456
03:01:19,720 --> 03:01:21,760
Speaker 1: at like this is a business opportunity. Not only are

3457
03:01:21,800 --> 03:01:24,560
Speaker 1: we helping our community, but we're helping the economy inside

3458
03:01:24,600 --> 03:01:26,640
Speaker 1: of the school. Right, instead of having big sales, instead

3459
03:01:26,680 --> 03:01:29,720
Speaker 1: of having fundraises, we can actually help them create their

3460
03:01:29,760 --> 03:01:31,840
Speaker 1: own economy. And on top of it, we can help

3461
03:01:31,959 --> 03:01:35,200
Speaker 1: the senior class by donating the proceeds from what they're

3462
03:01:35,200 --> 03:01:38,400
Speaker 1: already putting in. So it's it's self efficient economy. Not

3463
03:01:38,520 --> 03:01:40,440
Speaker 1: only are we doing that, but we're like, yeah, look,

3464
03:01:41,120 --> 03:01:42,920
Speaker 1: let's it employ some of the people who are in

3465
03:01:42,959 --> 03:01:45,640
Speaker 1: the school. Right, So we hired the seniors that are

3466
03:01:45,680 --> 03:01:47,440
Speaker 1: in the school to now run the machines and have

3467
03:01:47,560 --> 03:01:49,280
Speaker 1: them as part of the business. We got our young

3468
03:01:49,360 --> 03:01:51,760
Speaker 1: boy here, I do like, who's running that business? And

3469
03:01:51,840 --> 03:01:53,440
Speaker 1: we think of it like, oh, it's Venom schine that

3470
03:01:53,480 --> 03:01:55,720
Speaker 1: made no money. But like, yo, our Vendom machines are

3471
03:01:55,760 --> 03:02:01,120
Speaker 1: jeering thirty a month right just on an ecosystem, like oh,

3472
03:02:01,120 --> 03:02:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop there, I'm gonna get a beverage. I'm

3473
03:02:03,160 --> 03:02:05,200
Speaker 1: gonna get something need before I go to class. It's

3474
03:02:05,200 --> 03:02:08,920
Speaker 1: self sufficient. And so you think about thirty. You tell

3475
03:02:08,959 --> 03:02:11,720
Speaker 1: me a business that's thirty dring thirty for eighteen year

3476
03:02:11,720 --> 03:02:14,360
Speaker 1: old right now with a thousand dollar investment. Right after

3477
03:02:14,480 --> 03:02:16,760
Speaker 1: you pay that thousand dollars, after the first two months,

3478
03:02:16,760 --> 03:02:19,320
Speaker 1: you've already got return on your investment. Not everything is

3479
03:02:19,320 --> 03:02:21,280
Speaker 1: just profit. You see what I'm saying. And it's something

3480
03:02:21,320 --> 03:02:22,960
Speaker 1: that's so simple because people use it all the time.

3481
03:02:23,000 --> 03:02:24,320
Speaker 1: But we're starting to see it is like people taking

3482
03:02:24,360 --> 03:02:26,840
Speaker 1: that episode in that information and they're putting it in

3483
03:02:27,000 --> 03:02:29,960
Speaker 1: college campuses. But we've seen people in the entertainment industry like, yo,

3484
03:02:30,000 --> 03:02:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put that in my studio because that's what

3485
03:02:32,240 --> 03:02:34,000
Speaker 1: what people do when they come to the studio. They smoke.

3486
03:02:34,080 --> 03:02:36,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna be hungry, right, they put on college campuses,

3487
03:02:36,840 --> 03:02:39,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna need condom. We've seen a Vendom machine that

3488
03:02:39,640 --> 03:02:45,120
Speaker 1: had champagne inside, Spade inside in l a, right, and

3489
03:02:45,200 --> 03:02:47,680
Speaker 1: so you think about the bottle and the up charge,

3490
03:02:47,720 --> 03:02:49,000
Speaker 1: and the thing about the Vendom machine is that you

3491
03:02:49,080 --> 03:02:51,920
Speaker 1: get to set the price right and so right, so

3492
03:02:52,040 --> 03:02:54,040
Speaker 1: we know the margins and so we're gonna make sure

3493
03:02:54,080 --> 03:02:56,119
Speaker 1: that it's profitable, that we make money, but we're also

3494
03:02:56,120 --> 03:02:59,920
Speaker 1: going to service our community as well. And so these

3495
03:03:00,000 --> 03:03:02,080
Speaker 1: the type of businesses that when people we pass them

3496
03:03:02,120 --> 03:03:04,000
Speaker 1: every day, we never think that this is money. It's

3497
03:03:04,000 --> 03:03:05,600
Speaker 1: like what you said with the truck. And we live

3498
03:03:05,640 --> 03:03:07,720
Speaker 1: in New York City from New York, right, we see

3499
03:03:07,760 --> 03:03:10,280
Speaker 1: trucks passing us every day. We're not thinking like, Yo,

3500
03:03:10,959 --> 03:03:14,080
Speaker 1: that's a business that's passing us. That's actually somebody's business

3501
03:03:14,160 --> 03:03:20,520
Speaker 1: that's going to a place. I've a documentary on Netflix

3502
03:03:20,920 --> 03:03:24,280
Speaker 1: where John Gardi and them actually looked at a truck

3503
03:03:24,440 --> 03:03:28,039
Speaker 1: that drove through Manhattan that didn't have they signed on them,

3504
03:03:29,720 --> 03:03:32,040
Speaker 1: and I was just like, they were like, who has

3505
03:03:32,120 --> 03:03:35,720
Speaker 1: the balls to drive to the city without having our son?

3506
03:03:35,959 --> 03:03:37,240
Speaker 1: And that's a fact, And it's like one of these

3507
03:03:37,280 --> 03:03:40,280
Speaker 1: things you never think about. So it's like you grew up.

3508
03:03:40,440 --> 03:03:42,080
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen anybody take money out of vendom

3509
03:03:42,080 --> 03:03:47,440
Speaker 1: machine before? Yeah? Have you know? I've never seen it before.

3510
03:03:48,080 --> 03:03:50,720
Speaker 1: And the reason, the reason being is because they come

3511
03:03:50,760 --> 03:03:52,720
Speaker 1: at odd hours, two o'clock in the morning. One because

3512
03:03:52,760 --> 03:03:54,760
Speaker 1: they don't want you to think it's a business. You

3513
03:03:54,879 --> 03:03:57,400
Speaker 1: never growing up. I've seen vendom machines my whole entire life.

3514
03:03:57,440 --> 03:03:59,760
Speaker 1: I never looked at it as a business opportunity. I

3515
03:04:00,080 --> 03:04:01,880
Speaker 1: that it has an opportunity to spend a dollar and

3516
03:04:01,920 --> 03:04:07,040
Speaker 1: a dollar because vendor machines cents. You twist this ship

3517
03:04:07,280 --> 03:04:12,000
Speaker 1: and a bubble gum because you do that long enough.

3518
03:04:12,080 --> 03:04:15,520
Speaker 1: That's like I have to say, once you once you

3519
03:04:15,640 --> 03:04:18,720
Speaker 1: change your mindset, everything becomes an opportunity. You see trucks

3520
03:04:18,920 --> 03:04:22,360
Speaker 1: drive every single day. Population never look at it like

3521
03:04:22,680 --> 03:04:25,520
Speaker 1: somebody owns that truck. They're just looking at like that's

3522
03:04:25,560 --> 03:04:27,920
Speaker 1: a truck driving by. You see you see it a

3523
03:04:28,000 --> 03:04:30,440
Speaker 1: house on the street that's messed up. You just thinking

3524
03:04:30,480 --> 03:04:32,560
Speaker 1: it's a band though. You're not looking at it like, oh,

3525
03:04:32,640 --> 03:04:36,840
Speaker 1: that's a distressed property. I can buy that for undermarket value,

3526
03:04:36,920 --> 03:04:38,480
Speaker 1: fix it up, and then sell it for a fifty

3527
03:04:38,520 --> 03:04:40,840
Speaker 1: percent profit. But once you start to look at things

3528
03:04:40,879 --> 03:04:43,400
Speaker 1: and invest that everything around you becomes a business opportunity.

3529
03:04:43,480 --> 03:04:47,080
Speaker 1: Now owns who owns this restaurant, Who owns this liquor,

3530
03:04:47,240 --> 03:04:49,360
Speaker 1: who owns these mich who's making these microphones? How kind

3531
03:04:49,360 --> 03:04:52,640
Speaker 1: of manufact how can I actually I know that? How

3532
03:04:52,680 --> 03:04:55,040
Speaker 1: can I have a podcast studio? So now people can

3533
03:04:55,200 --> 03:04:58,600
Speaker 1: rent my studio and come in. Like, everything becomes the opportunity.

3534
03:04:58,600 --> 03:05:00,440
Speaker 1: So there's opportunities all around you. So talking about that

3535
03:05:00,440 --> 03:05:01,720
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, I can go on and on and on

3536
03:05:01,760 --> 03:05:03,760
Speaker 1: about businesses that you but first you gotta look at

3537
03:05:03,800 --> 03:05:06,600
Speaker 1: your mindset. Once again, it goes back to not being

3538
03:05:06,640 --> 03:05:10,080
Speaker 1: a victim. You gotta look at yourself as somebody that's

3539
03:05:10,720 --> 03:05:13,959
Speaker 1: in the world where it's opportunity all around you. Are

3540
03:05:14,040 --> 03:05:16,160
Speaker 1: you going to take advantage of the opportunity or are

3541
03:05:16,200 --> 03:05:19,000
Speaker 1: you going to complain? You can't do both. You have

3542
03:05:19,160 --> 03:05:22,760
Speaker 1: to pick a side. You will ate something side. What

3543
03:05:22,840 --> 03:05:24,680
Speaker 1: are you seeing? Are you seeing opportunity and be willing

3544
03:05:24,760 --> 03:05:27,280
Speaker 1: to fail miserably and pick it up and do it.

3545
03:05:27,720 --> 03:05:32,039
Speaker 1: Failures is the key. Most people. They they'll try something,

3546
03:05:32,120 --> 03:05:34,360
Speaker 1: they'll fail, and that's that's my set. So I even

3547
03:05:34,400 --> 03:05:36,040
Speaker 1: I even look at it as a failure. Right is

3548
03:05:36,280 --> 03:05:45,280
Speaker 1: the right back you can keeping Like one of the

3549
03:05:45,400 --> 03:05:48,960
Speaker 1: things I teach my status, One of the things I

3550
03:05:49,040 --> 03:05:51,800
Speaker 1: teach my students is how to write books. Right. You

3551
03:05:51,920 --> 03:05:54,640
Speaker 1: can't over saturate the market on books, right, even the

3552
03:05:54,800 --> 03:05:57,440
Speaker 1: books right, everybody. Even if you got a podcast, you

3553
03:05:57,560 --> 03:05:59,920
Speaker 1: can take that podcast and you can pay some my

3554
03:06:00,160 --> 03:06:02,720
Speaker 1: to edit that, chype it down, transcribe it, and turn

3555
03:06:02,760 --> 03:06:04,959
Speaker 1: it into a book for you can pay somebody on fiber,

3556
03:06:05,280 --> 03:06:08,520
Speaker 1: you understand me. You can go to untapped. I think,

3557
03:06:08,560 --> 03:06:10,360
Speaker 1: come on now, I can't believe people don't have some

3558
03:06:10,440 --> 03:06:13,280
Speaker 1: marketplace of skills. You develop any of one of those skills,

3559
03:06:13,280 --> 03:06:15,800
Speaker 1: you give yourself a job, you understand me. I talked

3560
03:06:15,800 --> 03:06:17,680
Speaker 1: to homey that got out of jail how to utilize

3561
03:06:17,720 --> 03:06:20,720
Speaker 1: then AI program to where he created art by just

3562
03:06:20,840 --> 03:06:22,720
Speaker 1: texting in props. Then he threw an art show and

3563
03:06:22,760 --> 03:06:25,840
Speaker 1: he sold a painting for a thousand dollars. Right, So

3564
03:06:26,040 --> 03:06:28,240
Speaker 1: it's like learning these skill sets mean that you have

3565
03:06:28,280 --> 03:06:30,360
Speaker 1: a skill set where you're never gonna go broke because

3566
03:06:30,400 --> 03:06:32,680
Speaker 1: it's always gonna be value in it. But that's why

3567
03:06:32,720 --> 03:06:34,680
Speaker 1: it goes back to education that the best thing you

3568
03:06:34,720 --> 03:06:36,840
Speaker 1: can do with a thousand dollars to educate yourself. That's

3569
03:06:36,840 --> 03:06:39,400
Speaker 1: who gives you a return for the rest of your life. Right,

3570
03:06:39,840 --> 03:06:42,480
Speaker 1: Like all these products I have, I designed every single

3571
03:06:42,560 --> 03:06:44,720
Speaker 1: as one of them. You understand me. I built the

3572
03:06:44,800 --> 03:06:46,800
Speaker 1: positions in the family, the books. I was the one

3573
03:06:46,840 --> 03:06:49,119
Speaker 1: who ordered it, who designed it, who put everything out

3574
03:06:49,200 --> 03:06:52,080
Speaker 1: in there. Every program that we have, we're showing you

3575
03:06:52,200 --> 03:06:54,520
Speaker 1: what can be done with little to no money. But

3576
03:06:54,640 --> 03:06:57,920
Speaker 1: you can't do nothing without knowledge, you understand me. That's

3577
03:06:57,959 --> 03:06:59,920
Speaker 1: why the quickest way to add value to yourself is

3578
03:07:00,000 --> 03:07:02,560
Speaker 1: to learn something new. The quickest way to add value

3579
03:07:02,560 --> 03:07:04,480
Speaker 1: to somebody else is to teach them something they didn't know.

3580
03:07:06,120 --> 03:07:07,800
Speaker 1: And the thing is too not to cut you up,

3581
03:07:07,800 --> 03:07:09,440
Speaker 1: but the thing about it, it's like you said, failure.

3582
03:07:09,840 --> 03:07:12,039
Speaker 1: You know what changed my life, bro when I realized

3583
03:07:12,080 --> 03:07:14,160
Speaker 1: that I'm gonna die one day. And at the end

3584
03:07:14,200 --> 03:07:15,920
Speaker 1: of the day, it doesn't really matter with someone because

3585
03:07:15,959 --> 03:07:18,520
Speaker 1: it's like, we get hung up on public perception. What

3586
03:07:18,600 --> 03:07:21,280
Speaker 1: people are gonna think about us. You know, if it

3587
03:07:21,360 --> 03:07:26,760
Speaker 1: doesn't work out, I'm gonna be embarrassed in the grand

3588
03:07:26,800 --> 03:07:30,560
Speaker 1: scheme of things, Right, what does that really matter? Right?

3589
03:07:30,640 --> 03:07:32,959
Speaker 1: And it's like ultimately you're gonna die. So you're either

3590
03:07:33,000 --> 03:07:36,200
Speaker 1: gonna die with regret, You're gonna die with failure, or

3591
03:07:36,200 --> 03:07:38,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna die with accomplishment. So it's like I could

3592
03:07:38,879 --> 03:07:41,200
Speaker 1: take having failure on my on my jacket, but I

3593
03:07:41,240 --> 03:07:43,440
Speaker 1: don't want to have regret. So that was like even

3594
03:07:43,520 --> 03:07:44,880
Speaker 1: like what we do now, Like I had the vision

3595
03:07:44,879 --> 03:07:47,320
Speaker 1: of what we're doing now in and it took me

3596
03:07:47,440 --> 03:07:49,720
Speaker 1: seven years to actually actually do it because I'm like,

3597
03:07:50,160 --> 03:07:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, self doubt and people are gonna think of

3598
03:07:52,520 --> 03:07:53,800
Speaker 1: her and way did it die? And then when I

3599
03:07:53,879 --> 03:07:57,360
Speaker 1: realized that people are gonna think something about you anyway regardless.

3600
03:07:57,680 --> 03:07:59,879
Speaker 1: And it's like people will go to ten different job

3601
03:08:00,600 --> 03:08:04,440
Speaker 1: trainings and job opportunities are and try to get all

3602
03:08:04,480 --> 03:08:08,560
Speaker 1: of these positions and they're at a fifteen different job interviews.

3603
03:08:08,600 --> 03:08:11,120
Speaker 1: They might get one. They never look at it like

3604
03:08:11,200 --> 03:08:14,360
Speaker 1: I failed fifteen times. But you start a business one

3605
03:08:14,440 --> 03:08:16,520
Speaker 1: time it doesn't work out and you say this is

3606
03:08:16,560 --> 03:08:18,680
Speaker 1: not for me? What if? What if? What if you

3607
03:08:18,720 --> 03:08:21,560
Speaker 1: want to one job on interview you didn't get high

3608
03:08:21,560 --> 03:08:23,520
Speaker 1: and you say this isn't for me. You know what

3609
03:08:23,560 --> 03:08:25,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying. It's like just the mindset. So I feel

3610
03:08:25,520 --> 03:08:30,000
Speaker 1: like when you when you understand that ultimately, no matter

3611
03:08:30,120 --> 03:08:32,920
Speaker 1: what you do in this world, it's not going to

3612
03:08:33,040 --> 03:08:34,400
Speaker 1: be the end of it. Like know what I'm saying,

3613
03:08:34,480 --> 03:08:37,560
Speaker 1: Even if you fail, you've always come back. Their businesses

3614
03:08:37,959 --> 03:08:40,320
Speaker 1: invested in it. It failed, Yeah, for sure, we started

3615
03:08:40,360 --> 03:08:46,760
Speaker 1: the music acts. It's a learning it's a learning experience.

3616
03:08:47,120 --> 03:08:50,040
Speaker 1: I kind of like failure. You understand me. I don't

3617
03:08:50,080 --> 03:08:54,200
Speaker 1: like the idea of perfection. Even when people try to

3618
03:08:54,280 --> 03:08:56,440
Speaker 1: cash you as a leader, they want to hold up

3619
03:08:56,440 --> 03:08:58,720
Speaker 1: this image of perfection. So if they find any flaws,

3620
03:08:58,760 --> 03:09:01,160
Speaker 1: they feel like they're exposed. Somebody wrote that in the

3621
03:09:01,240 --> 03:09:03,600
Speaker 1: comment say one day, nineteen Keys, you're gonna be exposed.

3622
03:09:03,640 --> 03:09:05,520
Speaker 1: I said, I hope so, because the more that I'm

3623
03:09:05,560 --> 03:09:07,840
Speaker 1: exposed to the world, the more I grow. Right, the

3624
03:09:07,879 --> 03:09:09,959
Speaker 1: more I'm exposed to myself, the more that I grow

3625
03:09:10,360 --> 03:09:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid of my own flaws and failures. That's

3626
03:09:13,320 --> 03:09:16,240
Speaker 1: where I become a man that by learning myself and

3627
03:09:16,280 --> 03:09:20,640
Speaker 1: developing myself in those areas. Society has become so hypocritical

3628
03:09:21,160 --> 03:09:24,240
Speaker 1: that we will demonize somebody for the same flaws that

3629
03:09:24,360 --> 03:09:27,800
Speaker 1: we have right in public. So I've gotten to this

3630
03:09:28,000 --> 03:09:31,760
Speaker 1: part where, you know, seeing somebody started business. The results

3631
03:09:31,879 --> 03:09:34,280
Speaker 1: is cool, like seeing the flying is the watches, all

3632
03:09:34,360 --> 03:09:36,640
Speaker 1: of that. But what I look at is the process

3633
03:09:36,720 --> 03:09:39,280
Speaker 1: in between. So are you telling me that you went

3634
03:09:39,360 --> 03:09:41,720
Speaker 1: through all of them nights of stress, You went through

3635
03:09:41,800 --> 03:09:44,560
Speaker 1: those different times of failure, You went through that lack

3636
03:09:44,680 --> 03:09:47,240
Speaker 1: and that sacrifice and that fast and and you still

3637
03:09:47,440 --> 03:09:50,039
Speaker 1: made it through, and you still kept pushing to higher

3638
03:09:50,120 --> 03:09:52,480
Speaker 1: levels if you haven't settled yet. I look at a

3639
03:09:52,560 --> 03:09:54,600
Speaker 1: person and I see them going through the darkness to

3640
03:09:54,640 --> 03:09:56,640
Speaker 1: bring it to light. I don't look at the light

3641
03:09:56,720 --> 03:09:59,120
Speaker 1: and saying that, oh I want that. Most people want

3642
03:09:59,160 --> 03:10:01,880
Speaker 1: the results, but they don't want the process, so there

3643
03:10:02,120 --> 03:10:04,880
Speaker 1: they never achieve it. This just smell way better. Let's

3644
03:10:04,879 --> 03:10:09,800
Speaker 1: come on, man, come on. This doesn't do the same

3645
03:10:09,879 --> 03:10:13,480
Speaker 1: ship as sage. Yeah, it does the same thing. It

3646
03:10:13,640 --> 03:10:19,280
Speaker 1: wasn't confidence. It's slightly reasons you got this. You never

3647
03:10:19,360 --> 03:10:24,560
Speaker 1: claimed this defense. It's right now, come on, yeah, don't

3648
03:10:24,600 --> 03:10:37,440
Speaker 1: play what is this call? What is this called? This

3649
03:10:37,640 --> 03:10:41,360
Speaker 1: just smells good? Sage saves be having the smell different.

3650
03:10:41,400 --> 03:10:44,320
Speaker 1: That's why that's why I don't be bringing sage everywhere. Okay,

3651
03:10:44,400 --> 03:10:50,840
Speaker 1: so what do you call this? Said? The energy? You said?

3652
03:10:54,200 --> 03:10:56,440
Speaker 1: I mean I know Cubans use it. I can't say

3653
03:10:56,440 --> 03:10:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure this is It smells like coke. I just

3654
03:10:59,200 --> 03:11:03,000
Speaker 1: wrote about coconut. What I mean by that? I just

3655
03:11:03,280 --> 03:11:05,920
Speaker 1: they thought I was smoking weed, but I was lying. Polysizal, Yeah,

3656
03:11:06,360 --> 03:11:09,560
Speaker 1: this just smell good. I ain't gonna lie and looks safe.

3657
03:11:09,760 --> 03:11:13,240
Speaker 1: Saf saves don't smell good. But I could tell SAYE

3658
03:11:13,360 --> 03:11:18,160
Speaker 1: bring the devils from. Polysanto is a tree that's native

3659
03:11:18,200 --> 03:11:22,160
Speaker 1: to Peru, Ecuador, and other South American countries. It grows

3660
03:11:22,200 --> 03:11:26,000
Speaker 1: in tropical drive forces. It produces a fragrant resident. In Spanish,

3661
03:11:26,080 --> 03:11:30,280
Speaker 1: polysanto means holywood. So that's holywood you're smoking over there, right, No,

3662
03:11:30,400 --> 03:11:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm not smoking. I'm with you, everybody. But for thousands

3663
03:11:40,200 --> 03:11:42,160
Speaker 1: of years, the wood, the resident, the oil has been

3664
03:11:42,240 --> 03:11:45,119
Speaker 1: used for medicinal purposes. Has been mainly used to treat

3665
03:11:45,120 --> 03:11:47,520
Speaker 1: pain and stress, but it's also used to clear negative

3666
03:11:47,640 --> 03:11:53,640
Speaker 1: energy understanding like key, So do y'all believe they use

3667
03:11:53,680 --> 03:11:56,200
Speaker 1: different things? Y'all believe in Dr Sabe? You know what's

3668
03:11:56,240 --> 03:11:59,080
Speaker 1: so crazy about Dr Saby? So you know, doctor take

3669
03:11:59,120 --> 03:12:03,440

03:12:03,480 --> 03:12:07,240
Speaker 1: to get You know, a lot of people heard about

3671
03:12:07,280 --> 03:12:09,080
Speaker 1: Dr Saby with Nipsey Hustle rest in Piece of nipp

Speaker 1: I was like in the two thousand, so my mom

3674
03:12:18,120 --> 03:12:21,680
Speaker 1: and like mid nineties, my mom had some health issues.

3675
03:12:21,720 --> 03:12:24,080
Speaker 1: She was, you know, kind of overweight whatever, and she

3676
03:12:24,200 --> 03:12:29,360
Speaker 1: went to Dr Saby in like in Brooklyn. He had

03:12:29,480 --> 03:12:32,280
Speaker 1: he had a shop in Brooklyn, Um and she was

3687
03:13:10,360 --> 03:13:14,039

Speaker 1: like I said, my mom was like going to him.

3689
03:13:17,440 --> 03:13:20,600
Speaker 1: I said, you know, and I've seen I've seen I've

Speaker 1: has to eat and meat in thirty years. Like you

3693
03:13:30,120 --> 03:13:31,240

3694
03:13:31,320 --> 03:13:34,000
Speaker 1: in thirty years and you eat me. I'm a pest catarian.

3695
03:13:35,320 --> 03:13:38,480
Speaker 1: Dr Sevey's my business partner on the gold Water Company.

3696
03:13:38,560 --> 03:13:40,800
Speaker 1: I got one of his stepsons. That's my business partner,

3697
03:13:41,200 --> 03:13:43,360
Speaker 1: you understand me. So his mother was the one who

3698
03:13:43,440 --> 03:13:45,800
Speaker 1: helped founded deal richa clinic that he had. It was

3699
03:13:46,120 --> 03:13:48,200
Speaker 1: it used to be right there where the Brooklyn Center is,

3700
03:13:48,320 --> 03:13:50,240
Speaker 1: where the net set. He used to add a clinic there.

3701
03:13:50,280 --> 03:13:52,480
Speaker 1: That's when he first, you know, made the claim of

Speaker 1: Karen Aid's right. Um, you eat me, no, no, no,

Speaker 1: I eat I'm pest catarian. Sometimes I like some lamb.

3704
03:14:00,320 --> 03:14:07,760
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes this year, because I've been working out on

3705
03:14:07,840 --> 03:14:21,199
Speaker 1: my job, I've been a little I've been throwing Dr

3706
03:14:21,240 --> 03:14:23,320
Speaker 1: Savin you know, he was in the Nation of Islam.

3707
03:14:23,480 --> 03:14:29,360
Speaker 1: He first learned about health science from the understand how

3708
03:14:29,400 --> 03:14:31,960
Speaker 1: to eat your live and it was also about one

3709
03:14:32,000 --> 03:14:34,800
Speaker 1: mill yea. And he said at the dinner table with him,

3710
03:14:35,120 --> 03:14:39,000
Speaker 1: you understand me, Sabe didn't notice. Yeah, that's where he

3711
03:14:39,040 --> 03:14:41,440
Speaker 1: first got his discipline from being a f y o

3712
03:14:41,920 --> 03:14:45,240
Speaker 1: ye yes. So you know I've talked to his wife

3713
03:14:45,280 --> 03:14:47,640
Speaker 1: about this his ex wife, of course, you understand me,

3714
03:14:47,760 --> 03:14:49,920
Speaker 1: and she was giving us the breakdown. But he even

3715
03:14:50,000 --> 03:14:51,480
Speaker 1: he tells you that you can go on YouTube and

3716
03:14:51,520 --> 03:14:54,160
Speaker 1: he'll give the breakdown. He said, Mohammed was the only

3717
03:14:54,240 --> 03:14:56,640
Speaker 1: person I've seen talking to black people in America about

3718
03:14:56,680 --> 03:15:00,400
Speaker 1: health and food. Right, And of course, my it don't

3719
03:15:00,400 --> 03:15:02,800
Speaker 1: get nowhere near enough credit for the impact that he's

3720
03:15:02,800 --> 03:15:05,400
Speaker 1: had on the entire globe. Right. If you remove the

3721
03:15:06,080 --> 03:15:08,959
Speaker 1: Mohammad from history, how many things do you remove from history?

3722
03:15:09,280 --> 03:15:12,880
Speaker 1: The whole entire world has to change. Hip hop is

3723
03:15:12,920 --> 03:15:15,920
Speaker 1: not hip hop, you understand me, doctor, He's not that

3724
03:15:16,080 --> 03:15:19,240
Speaker 1: the sevy. There's no black panthers, there's no malcommats, no

3725
03:15:19,360 --> 03:15:22,600
Speaker 1: public enemy. Right, there's so many like consciousness as we

3726
03:15:22,760 --> 03:15:27,160
Speaker 1: know it. There's no Harlem, you understand me, exactly. So

3727
03:15:27,760 --> 03:15:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, the lineage that he left behind was a lineage.

3728
03:15:30,879 --> 03:15:32,720
Speaker 1: And that's why that's like somebody I look up to.

3729
03:15:32,879 --> 03:15:34,920
Speaker 1: That's why I got it right here, because I look

3730
03:15:35,000 --> 03:15:37,960
Speaker 1: at what he did that was tangible. He had businesses, right,

3731
03:15:38,040 --> 03:15:41,240
Speaker 1: he had imported excellent, Yeah, he had his own plane.

3732
03:15:41,280 --> 03:15:44,680
Speaker 1: He had a fish import and export business directly from Peru. Right,

3733
03:15:44,720 --> 03:15:47,640
Speaker 1: he had trust, he had like a college institution set up.

3734
03:15:47,680 --> 03:15:49,560
Speaker 1: He had barber shops. He had a lot of rights

3735
03:15:49,640 --> 03:15:54,920
Speaker 1: to well, you know, imagine you've had a lot of

3736
03:15:55,000 --> 03:15:58,119
Speaker 1: chicks to North. Yeah, back then that was back there too.

3737
03:15:58,520 --> 03:16:05,800
Speaker 1: You understand what I'm just saying. Man, this Mohammed had

3738
03:16:05,879 --> 03:16:08,080
Speaker 1: the third grade education and he took a knowledge that

3739
03:16:08,160 --> 03:16:10,760
Speaker 1: he was taught and he changed the world with it. Right. So,

3740
03:16:11,000 --> 03:16:13,880
Speaker 1: as you know, we look at many different men in

3741
03:16:14,120 --> 03:16:17,240
Speaker 1: history and we don't ever look at the route. But

3742
03:16:17,320 --> 03:16:19,000
Speaker 1: if you go to the route, what he was doing

3743
03:16:19,360 --> 03:16:21,520
Speaker 1: everything that we're doing. He talked about He had an

3744
03:16:21,560 --> 03:16:24,680
Speaker 1: economic blueprint, right. It was a full breakdown on how

3745
03:16:24,720 --> 03:16:26,480
Speaker 1: we can give like five to tens in a day

3746
03:16:26,720 --> 03:16:29,240
Speaker 1: and how we can create our own He talked about separation,

3747
03:16:29,280 --> 03:16:32,200
Speaker 1: He talked about do for self. So everything that I'm

3748
03:16:32,280 --> 03:16:35,480
Speaker 1: doing right now is based on the lineage of my ancestors,

3749
03:16:35,959 --> 03:16:37,960
Speaker 1: you understand me, And the goal is to stand on

3750
03:16:38,040 --> 03:16:40,320
Speaker 1: the side of them, will go further, and until we've

3751
03:16:40,360 --> 03:16:42,879
Speaker 1: reached that plateau that they've reached and we go further.

3752
03:16:43,000 --> 03:16:45,280
Speaker 1: We haven't done enough yet and we can't say that

3753
03:16:45,440 --> 03:16:49,840
Speaker 1: we have. Right. Marcus Garvey, he had multiple businesses. He

3754
03:16:49,959 --> 03:16:51,840
Speaker 1: started the Black Star line because there was a White

3755
03:16:51,879 --> 03:16:55,120
Speaker 1: Star line, right. He had stock certificates for all of

3756
03:16:55,160 --> 03:16:57,280
Speaker 1: the people and he had twenty five chapters around the world.

3757
03:16:57,320 --> 03:17:00,640
Speaker 1: Before social media, Frederick Douglas had his own media company.

3758
03:17:00,680 --> 03:17:04,160
Speaker 1: He had his own newspaper, the North Star, that would circulate.

3759
03:17:04,520 --> 03:17:06,920
Speaker 1: The most successful leaders of all time control of their

3760
03:17:06,959 --> 03:17:10,240
Speaker 1: own media. Right. So when you look at Malcolm X,

3761
03:17:10,360 --> 03:17:12,240
Speaker 1: you look at the underbullt like Mohammed, you look at

3762
03:17:12,280 --> 03:17:15,400
Speaker 1: Minister far Can you look at Frederick Douglass you look right,

3763
03:17:15,920 --> 03:17:18,400
Speaker 1: you look at Marcus Garvey, the final Call and before

3764
03:17:18,480 --> 03:17:21,000
Speaker 1: that it was Mohammed speaks Final cart. Back then the

3765
03:17:21,080 --> 03:17:24,560
Speaker 1: paper was right, That's what I'm saying. But paper wasn't

3766
03:17:24,560 --> 03:17:26,320
Speaker 1: in that because it was hand in hand and nothing

3767
03:17:26,959 --> 03:17:30,320
Speaker 1: controlling that media. It's key to leadership. They did no

3768
03:17:30,560 --> 03:17:32,920
Speaker 1: news unless they but but but come on, but the

3769
03:17:33,040 --> 03:17:35,039
Speaker 1: question that you asked to kind of you know, bring

3770
03:17:35,160 --> 03:17:37,600
Speaker 1: this full circa. Remember when I said about the watch

3771
03:17:37,720 --> 03:17:39,840
Speaker 1: having the movements, and that was the most important thing

3772
03:17:40,400 --> 03:17:45,160
Speaker 1: that financial literacy, financial intelligence, money and physical health care

3773
03:17:45,200 --> 03:17:47,560
Speaker 1: hand in hand. Your life has to be in line.

3774
03:17:47,920 --> 03:17:50,360
Speaker 1: So from your relationships to your your health all that's

3775
03:17:50,400 --> 03:17:53,800
Speaker 1: extremely important because it's hard to you know, have a

3776
03:17:53,879 --> 03:17:58,160
Speaker 1: financial you know, well being if out of shape, like

3777
03:17:58,200 --> 03:17:59,320
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, if you if you just

3778
03:17:59,520 --> 03:18:01,880
Speaker 1: if you just focused on your health, you can't even

3779
03:18:01,959 --> 03:18:04,240
Speaker 1: focus on trying to invest. Like know what I'm saying.

3780
03:18:04,240 --> 03:18:07,400
Speaker 1: If you're having trouble breathing, that's that's more important than anything,

3781
03:18:07,560 --> 03:18:09,160
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So this is extremely important

3782
03:18:09,160 --> 03:18:13,000
Speaker 1: as far a what we eat is extremely important, working

3783
03:18:13,040 --> 03:18:18,200
Speaker 1: out is extremely important, to having healthy relationships is extremely important.

3784
03:18:18,560 --> 03:18:22,240
Speaker 1: And we talked about financing money, but it's three sixty

3785
03:18:22,920 --> 03:18:25,000
Speaker 1: All of that, all of that goes into play because

3786
03:18:25,360 --> 03:18:28,199
Speaker 1: just having one area and having all the other areas

3787
03:18:28,240 --> 03:18:30,680
Speaker 1: this functional, it's not gonna work. You gotta have a movement,

3788
03:18:30,760 --> 03:18:33,400
Speaker 1: just like a watch where everything is moving efficiently. It's

3789
03:18:33,640 --> 03:18:35,039
Speaker 1: how you do one thing is how you do everything.

3790
03:18:35,680 --> 03:18:37,840
Speaker 1: Like I mean, we literally watch you right like we

3791
03:18:38,080 --> 03:18:45,040
Speaker 1: we watched Noriega. We saw all that, but also we

3792
03:18:45,120 --> 03:18:47,440
Speaker 1: saw like yeo, I remember why I'm watching run eight miles.

3793
03:18:48,040 --> 03:18:51,200
Speaker 1: I'm on top of that. I'm watching him now. I

3794
03:18:51,280 --> 03:18:53,640
Speaker 1: got the balance exactly, I'm watching him as a husband.

3795
03:18:53,680 --> 03:18:55,440
Speaker 1: So like people discount that fact that they don't want

3796
03:18:55,440 --> 03:18:57,200
Speaker 1: to talk about that fat every time, I've seen you,

3797
03:18:57,240 --> 03:18:59,320
Speaker 1: I've seen your wife with you. You see what I'm saying,

3798
03:18:59,400 --> 03:19:05,359
Speaker 1: Like that, it comes to real ship, right, that's really

3799
03:19:06,440 --> 03:19:08,440
Speaker 1: with you. But it goes into that at that point,

3800
03:19:08,600 --> 03:19:11,560
Speaker 1: like Yo, it's a balance between everything hating people come

3801
03:19:11,640 --> 03:19:13,480
Speaker 1: to me and they judge me from what they know

3802
03:19:13,680 --> 03:19:15,840
Speaker 1: me from. People come to people like what what what?

3803
03:19:17,000 --> 03:19:20,280
Speaker 1: This ain't the melvine like I was saying, the age

3804
03:19:20,640 --> 03:19:23,440
Speaker 1: like like, but then also people remember you for moments

3805
03:19:23,480 --> 03:19:25,760
Speaker 1: in time like like I said, like I know it

3806
03:19:25,879 --> 03:19:28,160
Speaker 1: was twenty years ago, but it's like I still played

3807
03:19:28,200 --> 03:19:30,760
Speaker 1: a war report to this day because I remember what

3808
03:19:30,879 --> 03:19:32,960
Speaker 1: that meant to me at that moment in time, and

3809
03:19:33,200 --> 03:19:36,440
Speaker 1: that's beautiful, Like like I remember it was and I

3810
03:19:36,560 --> 03:19:39,080
Speaker 1: love that. But I just also want to live in

3811
03:19:39,160 --> 03:19:45,040
Speaker 1: this day. I think album that's what he keeps saying.

3812
03:19:46,040 --> 03:19:51,000
Speaker 1: Three keep said, no problem, but just love love ill matic.

3813
03:19:51,480 --> 03:19:54,560
Speaker 1: But I'm living. But I think there's a generation of

3814
03:19:54,640 --> 03:19:57,240
Speaker 1: people who weren't alive for that that war report. They

3815
03:19:57,280 --> 03:20:01,920
Speaker 1: weren't alive. They all they know you for is this, Yeah,

3816
03:20:02,040 --> 03:20:05,480
Speaker 1: listens incredible. There's people that look at me and say

3817
03:20:05,560 --> 03:20:12,520
Speaker 1: you rap exactly. The whole generation don't And horrid Wood

3818
03:20:14,320 --> 03:20:17,920
Speaker 1: We was like, literally, that's nothing. We got on these

3819
03:20:17,959 --> 03:20:22,000
Speaker 1: both Jackson's, we got on that A kid alive. That's

3820
03:20:22,080 --> 03:20:26,080
Speaker 1: weird these right now new with both Jackson play. They

3821
03:20:26,160 --> 03:20:29,520
Speaker 1: knew with Michael Jordan played, but that's what they researched that.

3822
03:20:29,680 --> 03:20:31,760
Speaker 1: But they get millions of dollars off of hip hop

3823
03:20:31,840 --> 03:20:34,520
Speaker 1: and they won't research hip hop. That's that's how they

3824
03:20:34,560 --> 03:20:36,280
Speaker 1: fucked up. When I told you that, I'm not gonna look.

3825
03:20:36,360 --> 03:20:39,680
Speaker 1: I remember you can some people some people some people.

3826
03:20:39,959 --> 03:20:44,000
Speaker 1: Some people research, they don't. It depends the whole day

3827
03:20:44,040 --> 03:20:47,720
Speaker 1: around A lot don't care a lot don't care hip

3828
03:20:47,760 --> 03:20:51,000
Speaker 1: hop everybody. You had to be a student of hip hop. Yeah,

3829
03:20:51,040 --> 03:20:53,560
Speaker 1: and you had like was a community it was. I

3830
03:20:53,680 --> 03:20:55,240
Speaker 1: used to tell people it was like like the Gothic

3831
03:20:55,360 --> 03:20:58,040
Speaker 1: kids in school, but you had to like it a

3832
03:20:58,160 --> 03:21:00,960
Speaker 1: cultural movement at that time. Think about it is like

3833
03:21:01,280 --> 03:21:03,480
Speaker 1: like I sit there and I hope I always look

3834
03:21:03,480 --> 03:21:05,520
Speaker 1: at these kids and they'd be like, you know, Jordan's

3835
03:21:05,800 --> 03:21:07,800
Speaker 1: you knows better, and I'm looking at him, like how

3836
03:21:07,879 --> 03:21:10,200
Speaker 1: do you know? Jordan's telling me jay Z is not

3837
03:21:10,640 --> 03:21:13,520
Speaker 1: but j is not. We didn't we didn't. We didn't

3838
03:21:13,520 --> 03:21:16,560
Speaker 1: research music like you didn't you never listen to John

3839
03:21:16,640 --> 03:21:21,240
Speaker 1: Coltrane kind of did listen to you want to listen

3840
03:21:21,280 --> 03:21:30,320
Speaker 1: to John Coltrane. But he going, that's why why are

3841
03:21:30,320 --> 03:21:32,200
Speaker 1: you saying that? But why are you saying that that

3842
03:21:32,360 --> 03:21:34,240
Speaker 1: person It's always going to be the youth is going

3843
03:21:34,280 --> 03:21:36,280
Speaker 1: to be dominated on what's happening right now in this

3844
03:21:36,440 --> 03:21:39,480
Speaker 1: moment in time, because even me, why they were in

3845
03:21:39,600 --> 03:21:42,560
Speaker 1: Jordan's and it's not this moment of time. But let men,

3846
03:21:43,280 --> 03:21:45,960
Speaker 1: I never I never listened to plenty different reasons you

3847
03:21:46,080 --> 03:21:49,400
Speaker 1: never did. I never listened to. That's before my error.

3848
03:21:49,680 --> 03:21:53,199
Speaker 1: My error was like NAS and then Big and then Jay.

3849
03:21:53,400 --> 03:21:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean if yours NAS, then it would be. But

Speaker 1: and it is big and the golden little question. Yeah,

3860
03:22:32,360 --> 03:22:35,280

Speaker 1: It's like three. You see what I'm saying. Yeah, they do.

3866
03:22:52,480 --> 03:22:56,320
Speaker 1: You can't appreciate it. He fight, you appreciate that's the tales.

3867
03:22:56,400 --> 03:22:57,720

Speaker 1: hold up, how old are you? And his age was

3871
03:23:04,000 --> 03:23:07,920
Speaker 1: five years younger appreciation you just stand Now, that's why

3872
03:23:08,040 --> 03:23:10,360
Speaker 1: this is just connected. Here's why, here's why we are

3873
03:23:10,400 --> 03:23:12,880
Speaker 1: connecting it. Right. So when we did Master Square Garden, right,

3874
03:23:13,360 --> 03:23:15,240
Speaker 1: we put on the Minx, and it wasn't because we

3875
03:23:15,320 --> 03:23:17,160
Speaker 1: just wanted to put on Minx. We wanted to pay

3876
03:23:17,240 --> 03:23:22,480
Speaker 1: homage to books, and we came out like just hate

3877
03:23:22,520 --> 03:23:24,600
Speaker 1: me now. So even if they didn't know hate me now,

3878
03:23:24,800 --> 03:23:26,800
Speaker 1: they don't know it now, just like I did with

3879
03:23:26,840 --> 03:23:28,560
Speaker 1: you like, I'm not, yo, bro, I gotta with these

3880
03:23:28,600 --> 03:23:36,520
Speaker 1: ange these rights part right. I remember I taped that

3881
03:23:36,640 --> 03:23:42,120
Speaker 1: when it was you. It was ex Cannabis freestyle, and

3882
03:23:42,200 --> 03:23:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm recording that and I'm listening to it every day.

3883
03:23:44,840 --> 03:23:53,920
Speaker 1: Everybody I would superfection. That was faa tell you. Somebody

3884
03:23:54,000 --> 03:23:59,400
Speaker 1: I don't know showed up. The pun was supposed to

3885
03:23:59,440 --> 03:24:01,400
Speaker 1: meet me, So I was supposed to be me and

3886
03:24:01,520 --> 03:24:05,680
Speaker 1: Punt because I thought Cannabis and DMX was going at us.

3887
03:24:06,360 --> 03:24:09,840
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be Yeah, that's that's what I

3888
03:24:09,920 --> 03:24:12,520
Speaker 1: didn't Crazy showed him so late. I had to go

3889
03:24:12,640 --> 03:24:16,360
Speaker 1: up though. That's crazy spent the whole album. He No,

3890
03:24:16,600 --> 03:24:18,800
Speaker 1: they wouldn't let Punt up once I came up, so

3891
03:24:18,920 --> 03:24:20,680
Speaker 1: he came up. Eventually he came. He was there, he

3892
03:24:20,760 --> 03:24:23,280
Speaker 1: was downstairs. But by the time he's hitting me like this,

3893
03:24:23,840 --> 03:24:27,960
Speaker 1: this wasn't like you know, I'm spending my und man

3894
03:24:28,040 --> 03:24:30,080
Speaker 1: asked spending my mind. He can still call me like

3895
03:24:30,160 --> 03:24:32,320
Speaker 1: I had to wait to spit my whole ship. And

3896
03:24:32,400 --> 03:24:36,920
Speaker 1: if you look, if you listen to that freestyle, Cannabis

3897
03:24:36,959 --> 03:24:43,360
Speaker 1: and DMX is jumping me. Yeah, that's why Cloud is

3898
03:24:43,400 --> 03:24:46,480
Speaker 1: going crazy, Like yo, let me let me up and

3899
03:24:46,560 --> 03:24:51,520
Speaker 1: I just had to hold the crazy that was like

3900
03:24:51,560 --> 03:24:53,720
Speaker 1: a forty five minute album at Cannabis. I don't know

3901
03:24:53,760 --> 03:24:56,680
Speaker 1: where you get this fucking rumor that we sent them

3902
03:24:56,720 --> 03:25:00,280
Speaker 1: a fucking car service that didn't show up. You see this.

3903
03:25:02,840 --> 03:25:04,920
Speaker 1: No no, But even when you say that, though, when

3904
03:25:04,920 --> 03:25:08,320
Speaker 1: you look at it, two of the greatest like platforms

3905
03:25:08,400 --> 03:25:11,120
Speaker 1: that revitalize a lot of hip hop artists versus in

3906
03:25:11,160 --> 03:25:14,480
Speaker 1: his Drink Champs, you understand me so, like even you

3907
03:25:14,920 --> 03:25:17,800
Speaker 1: credit a platform to give yourself a new image in

3908
03:25:18,000 --> 03:25:20,520
Speaker 1: today's time and with a lot of artists, because when

3909
03:25:20,520 --> 03:25:23,000
Speaker 1: I first started listening to Drink Champs, when you was

3910
03:25:23,080 --> 03:25:25,600
Speaker 1: having all the artists come in, like it was allowed

3911
03:25:25,640 --> 03:25:28,640
Speaker 1: with me to re appreciate them in their stories, right,

3912
03:25:29,000 --> 03:25:31,600
Speaker 1: and I got invested into it. The same thing with versus.

3913
03:25:31,920 --> 03:25:34,960
Speaker 1: You got reinvested into the catalogs, you know, and then

3914
03:25:35,000 --> 03:25:38,840
Speaker 1: it reintroduced a completely new generation to this music in

3915
03:25:38,959 --> 03:25:42,720
Speaker 1: today's time, but without the context, right, because you appreciate

3916
03:25:43,200 --> 03:25:45,440
Speaker 1: you appreciate jay Z because of the context of who

3917
03:25:45,520 --> 03:25:48,800
Speaker 1: jay Z is today, not even just his catalog. So

3918
03:25:48,920 --> 03:25:51,720
Speaker 1: it's hard for somebody else to appreciate an artist the

3919
03:25:51,800 --> 03:25:53,680
Speaker 1: same way. If you didn't grow up in those moments

3920
03:25:54,160 --> 03:25:56,240
Speaker 1: that you feel that's connected to the music of who

3921
03:25:56,320 --> 03:26:00,120
Speaker 1: they are, Like Nipsey Hustle. Appreciating Nipsey Hustle at to

3922
03:26:00,200 --> 03:26:03,040
Speaker 1: his death and why he's living. It's two different things.

3923
03:26:03,560 --> 03:26:05,640
Speaker 1: And for the next generation they may only have his

3924
03:26:05,800 --> 03:26:07,800
Speaker 1: music to listen to. They won't be connected to the

3925
03:26:07,840 --> 03:26:10,720
Speaker 1: feeling of that time. That's why I said, like when

3926
03:26:10,720 --> 03:26:13,200
Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen Cormega, I'm like, yo, damn, Like

3927
03:26:13,240 --> 03:26:15,840
Speaker 1: we started thinking like remember when Mega that Firm album,

3928
03:26:15,879 --> 03:26:17,640
Speaker 1: how we felt you got shot him on him? I'm like,

3929
03:26:17,800 --> 03:26:20,200
Speaker 1: that's great. I've seen Black Sheep on here. I'm like,

3930
03:26:20,400 --> 03:26:23,360
Speaker 1: don't these people don't even understand, like what that recommended?

3931
03:26:23,440 --> 03:26:27,520
Speaker 1: Like nine, Like that's why I'm so sorry and I'm

3932
03:26:27,560 --> 03:26:29,720
Speaker 1: so sorry to like to take your compliment that you

3933
03:26:29,800 --> 03:26:32,240
Speaker 1: gave me and then put it back on y'all. Like

3934
03:26:32,480 --> 03:26:34,920
Speaker 1: that's the reason why I like, like I look at

3935
03:26:34,959 --> 03:26:37,640
Speaker 1: what we're doing and I say, this is so beautiful

3936
03:26:37,640 --> 03:26:40,480
Speaker 1: because we're like helping people with plenished their careers. But

3937
03:26:40,600 --> 03:26:46,960
Speaker 1: what y'all doing something totally that for puff puff Flowers?

3938
03:26:47,360 --> 03:26:50,920
Speaker 1: Stop me give me what y'all doing to say you're Listen,

3939
03:26:51,600 --> 03:26:54,720
Speaker 1: y'all could be next to Nori. You can live next

3940
03:26:54,760 --> 03:26:57,680
Speaker 1: to Norm, right next to Paul. You're gonna live next

3941
03:26:57,720 --> 03:27:00,120
Speaker 1: to such a such And you don't got to be

3942
03:27:00,200 --> 03:27:06,800
Speaker 1: an entertainment fact. You don't gotta be ball player, you

3943
03:27:06,879 --> 03:27:11,040
Speaker 1: don't gotta be none of that. Maybe you're selling bud,

3944
03:27:11,680 --> 03:27:15,760
Speaker 1: maybe whatever. But y'all could be next to these same

3945
03:27:15,879 --> 03:27:20,360
Speaker 1: people in the same regard, with the same respect. That's

3946
03:27:20,360 --> 03:27:22,720
Speaker 1: why I tell you your job is way more than

3947
03:27:23,120 --> 03:27:29,240
Speaker 1: appreciate that. I appreciate you. They say rappers the most

3948
03:27:29,320 --> 03:27:33,000
Speaker 1: dangerous job of being honest. Being financial advisors might be

3949
03:27:33,160 --> 03:27:38,320
Speaker 1: more because because even with rappers, even with rappers, there's

3950
03:27:38,320 --> 03:27:41,400
Speaker 1: not people who's gonna tell us invest into this, like

3951
03:27:41,560 --> 03:27:44,879
Speaker 1: invest into the burger spot over there and do over there.

3952
03:27:45,600 --> 03:27:48,320
Speaker 1: But but y'all are doing that. So I just want

3953
03:27:48,400 --> 03:27:53,400
Speaker 1: you all to be careful that for Puff told us

3954
03:27:53,400 --> 03:27:55,480
Speaker 1: so he's at puffs house and he was like, yo,

3955
03:27:55,640 --> 03:27:57,960
Speaker 1: he was like, we're telling him, like you're the inspiration.

3956
03:27:58,040 --> 03:28:00,720
Speaker 1: Like he was like, na, y'all the tipping point, like

3957
03:28:00,760 --> 03:28:05,040
Speaker 1: y'all the first people in history. I was trying to

3958
03:28:05,040 --> 03:28:14,000
Speaker 1: say this force people to actually show get money, get fly,

3959
03:28:14,560 --> 03:28:16,520
Speaker 1: and I have to cool. I have to wrap and

3960
03:28:16,520 --> 03:28:18,920
Speaker 1: I have to dance, and y'all just getting money and

3961
03:28:19,040 --> 03:28:21,720
Speaker 1: y'all doing it through business and y'all showing other people.

3962
03:28:22,040 --> 03:28:24,160
Speaker 1: He's like y'all the tipping point, bro, Like y'all really

3963
03:28:24,640 --> 03:28:27,120
Speaker 1: changed the whole dynamic in this ship. So thank you

3964
03:28:27,240 --> 03:28:39,280
Speaker 1: for that, brother, everybody. I'm sorry to keep reiterating. This

3965
03:28:39,600 --> 03:28:46,400
Speaker 1: is because if I show a kid right now in

3966
03:28:46,480 --> 03:28:52,040
Speaker 1: the hood how to hold a gun, I might be

3967
03:28:52,600 --> 03:28:56,200
Speaker 1: one of the most dangerous dudes in the show him

3968
03:28:56,200 --> 03:28:58,680
Speaker 1: how to do this. But if I showed him never

3969
03:28:58,920 --> 03:29:02,680
Speaker 1: hold a I might be one of the most people

3970
03:29:03,040 --> 03:29:06,400
Speaker 1: because a funk about it. And that part is not cool,

3971
03:29:07,320 --> 03:29:11,240
Speaker 1: and that part is whack. I heard somebody say, if

3972
03:29:11,280 --> 03:29:15,120
Speaker 1: you're O G is telling you to go outside, then

3973
03:29:15,200 --> 03:29:18,160
Speaker 1: you're O G ain't your old G. Like, we have

3974
03:29:18,360 --> 03:29:24,440
Speaker 1: to spread the rhetoric the facts that being a drug

3975
03:29:24,560 --> 03:29:27,160
Speaker 1: deal or being on the block or doing that, that's

3976
03:29:27,200 --> 03:29:30,000
Speaker 1: not the only way. That's all we have. Back then

3977
03:29:30,120 --> 03:29:33,960
Speaker 1: we had athletes. What does big say if we have

3978
03:29:34,080 --> 03:29:40,160
Speaker 1: a jump shot or you had to jump shot, No,

3979
03:29:40,320 --> 03:29:45,320
Speaker 1: that's we passed. I think the key there. What you're

3980
03:29:45,360 --> 03:29:47,320
Speaker 1: saying here for a whole another of the y'all. You

3981
03:29:47,360 --> 03:29:50,040
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. We waged past that now as well.

3982
03:29:50,160 --> 03:29:53,760
Speaker 1: It's like the O G. Courture is so lost because

3983
03:29:53,879 --> 03:29:56,200
Speaker 1: being it ain't no more gangsters in hip hop. That

3984
03:29:56,280 --> 03:29:59,760
Speaker 1: ain't because but even just the idea of a gangster.

3985
03:30:00,560 --> 03:30:04,280
Speaker 1: We took the worst parts of like the Italian mob curture. Right.

3986
03:30:04,320 --> 03:30:09,000
Speaker 1: We didn't take the parts about family right protection, right,

3987
03:30:09,120 --> 03:30:11,400
Speaker 1: we didn't. We didn't take the code. We didn't. We

3988
03:30:11,480 --> 03:30:14,519
Speaker 1: took the worst parts of bullying each other and criminality

3989
03:30:14,560 --> 03:30:17,960
Speaker 1: against each other, not creating protected covenants of families in

3990
03:30:18,040 --> 03:30:22,240
Speaker 1: different orders and establishing that community. So today they will

3991
03:30:22,280 --> 03:30:28,160
Speaker 1: get Yeah, that's that's family and communion and standards and curture.

3992
03:30:28,680 --> 03:30:30,960
Speaker 1: We took the worst parts of everything that we see

3993
03:30:31,200 --> 03:30:36,440
Speaker 1: and then we glorify that. So O G or gangster

3994
03:30:36,560 --> 03:30:39,000
Speaker 1: got to be somebody that has the ability to protect

3995
03:30:39,240 --> 03:30:41,880
Speaker 1: the neighborhood, to employ the neighborhood, to be able to

3996
03:30:42,080 --> 03:30:44,560
Speaker 1: educate and teach. It's just the fact that we gotta

3997
03:30:44,640 --> 03:30:47,960
Speaker 1: backwards curture everything that's good for us. We glorify, I

3998
03:30:48,000 --> 03:30:50,440
Speaker 1: mean everything that's bad for us. We glorify everything that's

3999
03:30:50,440 --> 03:30:52,480
Speaker 1: good for us. You understand, when we look at it

4000
03:30:52,600 --> 03:30:54,520
Speaker 1: like his lane. Okay, but how do we do that? Then?

4001
03:30:54,640 --> 03:30:57,680
Speaker 1: How do we start? That's what we represent so like

4002
03:30:58,480 --> 03:31:01,120
Speaker 1: by you know, a man is his intellect. That's what

4003
03:31:01,240 --> 03:31:03,680
Speaker 1: makes a man really a man, not his physical prowess.

4004
03:31:03,720 --> 03:31:05,920
Speaker 1: Anybody can go in the jim work out, anybody can

4005
03:31:05,959 --> 03:31:08,480
Speaker 1: pull a trigger. But what makes the real man that's

4006
03:31:08,560 --> 03:31:11,120
Speaker 1: remembered as legends in time that we really look up

4007
03:31:11,160 --> 03:31:14,040
Speaker 1: to is the way they use their mind. Understand me

4008
03:31:14,160 --> 03:31:17,760
Speaker 1: and changing the narrative of the ones that's smart, you

4009
03:31:17,840 --> 03:31:20,600
Speaker 1: understand me are the ones that should be followed, right,

4010
03:31:20,959 --> 03:31:23,040
Speaker 1: not the ones that got issues and anger and they

4011
03:31:23,120 --> 03:31:25,280
Speaker 1: always want to fight everybody and kill and shoot their

4012
03:31:25,360 --> 03:31:27,760
Speaker 1: brother assists and they get strikes for doing some dumb

4013
03:31:27,800 --> 03:31:29,720
Speaker 1: ship that didn't matter, and it started off something that

4014
03:31:29,800 --> 03:31:33,240
Speaker 1: didn't matter my part, Like if they offered you the

4015
03:31:33,320 --> 03:31:35,280
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand or the jay Z me, and what

4016
03:31:35,400 --> 03:31:41,160
Speaker 1: would you take? What I'm taking five thousand? I mean,

4017
03:31:42,600 --> 03:31:45,040
Speaker 1: And so you got to look at the context as

4018
03:31:45,080 --> 03:31:47,960
Speaker 1: a person and what a person spend five hundred thousand

4019
03:31:48,000 --> 03:31:49,480
Speaker 1: to get next to jay Z because they want to

4020
03:31:49,520 --> 03:31:51,480
Speaker 1: leverage it so they can have a relationship with him

4021
03:31:51,520 --> 03:31:53,800
Speaker 1: to build off that. Now if he said there and

4022
03:31:53,840 --> 03:31:55,960
Speaker 1: he'd do an interview with me on high level conversations.

4023
03:31:56,000 --> 03:31:58,080
Speaker 1: That's more worth it than the five minute meeting. You

4024
03:31:58,160 --> 03:32:00,560
Speaker 1: understand me, I'm gonna leverage that way past five hundred

4025
03:32:00,600 --> 03:32:04,279
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. So I think the context in your strategy

4026
03:32:04,680 --> 03:32:06,760
Speaker 1: and how you're going to leverage it matters the most.

4027
03:32:06,959 --> 03:32:10,640
Speaker 1: Leverages everything. You understand me, So it can't always be

4028
03:32:10,800 --> 03:32:13,880
Speaker 1: simple as black and white and say that, Okay, do

4029
03:32:14,000 --> 03:32:16,440
Speaker 1: I have a strategy on how I'm utilize this connection

4030
03:32:16,480 --> 03:32:19,360
Speaker 1: and relationship or am I there to get inspiration during

4031
03:32:19,400 --> 03:32:22,000
Speaker 1: the five minute meeting? No, because in that case, I've

4032
03:32:22,000 --> 03:32:24,200
Speaker 1: already got a business plan where I can use a

4033
03:32:24,280 --> 03:32:30,200
Speaker 1: five let's say it's dinner. But if I got a

4034
03:32:30,280 --> 03:32:32,640
Speaker 1: business already and I can use a five hundred thousand

4035
03:32:32,680 --> 03:32:35,240
Speaker 1: dollar in fusion and investment into that business, and that's

4036
03:32:35,240 --> 03:32:37,520
Speaker 1: gonna take me further than talking with jay Z. You

4037
03:32:37,640 --> 03:32:40,080
Speaker 1: understand me. I'm gonna do that. Maybe flip that to

4038
03:32:40,200 --> 03:32:42,040
Speaker 1: five million and see if I can take five hundred

4039
03:32:42,080 --> 03:32:44,560
Speaker 1: thousand dollars and get a dinner. Let me tell you

4040
03:32:44,560 --> 03:32:46,800
Speaker 1: what I take the dinner. Because this isn't theoretic, this

4041
03:32:46,920 --> 03:32:50,440
Speaker 1: is real life. When we met Steve Harvey and we

4042
03:32:50,560 --> 03:32:52,920
Speaker 1: spent time with him. We interviewed him, we talked to

4043
03:32:52,959 --> 03:32:55,560
Speaker 1: him or whatever, and that relationship is worth more than money.

4044
03:32:56,160 --> 03:32:59,000
Speaker 1: That sounds cliche, but that's real. So when we met him,

4045
03:32:59,080 --> 03:33:05,720
Speaker 1: he took a liking too. He's he said, he said yo,

4046
03:33:05,800 --> 03:33:07,960
Speaker 1: he said yo. I like, y'all we're gonna make a

4047
03:33:08,000 --> 03:33:11,680
Speaker 1: lot of money together. Shortly after we became business partners,

4048
03:33:11,720 --> 03:33:13,640
Speaker 1: we did an event called invest FST. We have fourteen

4049
03:33:13,640 --> 03:33:16,320
Speaker 1: thousand people in Atlanta. He just invited us to Abu Dhabi.

4050
03:33:16,400 --> 03:33:18,000
Speaker 1: We was in Abu Dhabi. Looks like we're gonna be

4051
03:33:18,000 --> 03:33:19,760
Speaker 1: doing stuff in the Middle East. So it's like that

4052
03:33:19,879 --> 03:33:22,080
Speaker 1: relationship is gonna be worth way more than five hundred

4053
03:33:22,120 --> 03:33:24,879
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. So it's like you're looking at short term

4054
03:33:24,920 --> 03:33:28,280
Speaker 1: as opposed looking at long term investing people like your

4055
03:33:28,360 --> 03:33:30,720
Speaker 1: life is worth more than five hundred thousand dollars. I

4056
03:33:30,800 --> 03:33:32,480
Speaker 1: can't put a price tag on your life. I can't

4057
03:33:32,520 --> 03:33:35,080
Speaker 1: put a price tag on the information, on the information

4058
03:33:35,120 --> 03:33:37,440
Speaker 1: and relationships that we could potentially do. Like what I'm saying, like,

4059
03:33:37,520 --> 03:33:40,880
Speaker 1: let's let's do real business. We don't need money right now. Fortunately,

4060
03:33:41,080 --> 03:33:42,920
Speaker 1: through the grace of God, we're not We're not hurting

4061
03:33:42,959 --> 03:33:45,039
Speaker 1: for money. So when you're not hurting for money, then

4062
03:33:45,080 --> 03:33:47,280
Speaker 1: you start to then you start to use your intelligence.

4063
03:33:47,840 --> 03:33:49,800
Speaker 1: The problem we're not having money is that you win

4064
03:33:49,879 --> 03:33:52,440
Speaker 1: survival mode. You've got to be very careful about people

4065
03:33:52,480 --> 03:33:55,040
Speaker 1: that's in survival mode because they'll do anything for a

4066
03:33:55,120 --> 03:33:57,920
Speaker 1: short liquor saying the lick. This is a long term

4067
03:33:58,000 --> 03:34:07,480
Speaker 1: This is long term wealth difference because what you're saying

4068
03:34:09,120 --> 03:34:11,400
Speaker 1: in our communities, we're so used to that. Like what

4069
03:34:11,520 --> 03:34:13,440
Speaker 1: you said, like, Yo, shout out to you for teaching

4070
03:34:13,480 --> 03:34:16,360
Speaker 1: the bronx. I'm watching survival mode right while I'm trying

4071
03:34:16,400 --> 03:34:18,320
Speaker 1: to get to the next base, which is that travel mode.

4072
03:34:18,520 --> 03:34:20,360
Speaker 1: Because when you get to thravel mode, then you see

4073
03:34:20,360 --> 03:34:23,119
Speaker 1: the world differently. Now you see everything as an opportunity.

4074
03:34:23,120 --> 03:34:24,600
Speaker 1: Now I'm not taking the fire hunt. I'd rather take

4075
03:34:24,600 --> 03:34:27,120
Speaker 1: the meeting because it's going to lead to other opportunities.

4076
03:34:27,320 --> 03:34:29,600
Speaker 1: Now I'm looking at the meeting because Yo, wait, he

4077
03:34:29,720 --> 03:34:32,400
Speaker 1: said something that I could create a business offer. It's

4078
03:34:32,400 --> 03:34:34,880
Speaker 1: a different mindset, Like we got to go back to that.

4079
03:34:35,000 --> 03:34:37,920
Speaker 1: Like the mindset is the key right when we when

4080
03:34:37,959 --> 03:34:40,600
Speaker 1: we make that shift from survival to salve your life

4081
03:34:40,680 --> 03:34:44,160
Speaker 1: changes because now you see the passway to freedom right

4082
03:34:44,160 --> 03:34:46,600
Speaker 1: and everybody has a different freedom, level of freedom special.

4083
03:34:47,360 --> 03:34:49,640
Speaker 1: But when you see in that that travel, it's like, Yo,

4084
03:34:50,000 --> 03:34:52,520
Speaker 1: this is obtainable. I have access to my time. Once

4085
03:34:52,560 --> 03:34:54,400
Speaker 1: I have access to my time, now I'm free to think.

4086
03:34:55,000 --> 03:34:58,520
Speaker 1: Once you're free to think, it opens up the door

4087
03:34:58,640 --> 03:35:00,280
Speaker 1: for you. Right while you're in that non of five

4088
03:35:00,280 --> 03:35:02,240
Speaker 1: when you survive them, like and I'll come from that right,

4089
03:35:02,280 --> 03:35:04,680
Speaker 1: Like I'm teaching every day, Like I'm watching nine to

4090
03:35:04,760 --> 03:35:07,040
Speaker 1: three every day, I'm doing the same thing. It's like, yo,

4091
03:35:07,120 --> 03:35:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm working, and then I start coaching. I'm like, I'm

4092
03:35:08,959 --> 03:35:12,040
Speaker 1: working from seven o'clock to seven o'clock. I'm just trying

4093
03:35:12,080 --> 03:35:13,720
Speaker 1: to get dinner and make sure my kids are good,

4094
03:35:13,760 --> 03:35:15,280
Speaker 1: my wife and I and I'm gonna do the same

4095
03:35:15,320 --> 03:35:16,720
Speaker 1: thing the next day. I don't have time to think

4096
03:35:16,840 --> 03:35:19,800
Speaker 1: or create anything else. I don't have time to thrive, right,

4097
03:35:19,879 --> 03:35:21,560
Speaker 1: But as soon as that time frees up, it's like,

4098
03:35:21,640 --> 03:35:24,640
Speaker 1: oh wait, I got space. Now I got opportunity. My

4099
03:35:24,760 --> 03:35:27,760
Speaker 1: mind can now expand and now I can create opportunities

4100
03:35:27,760 --> 03:35:30,920
Speaker 1: for myself or I can see ways to create opportunities

4101
03:35:31,080 --> 03:35:33,440
Speaker 1: which we we don't see in our community. Most people

4102
03:35:33,440 --> 03:35:34,920
Speaker 1: are just trying to survive on the day to day

4103
03:35:35,000 --> 03:35:36,840
Speaker 1: like y'all gonna make it, you know, tomam wa do

4104
03:35:36,879 --> 03:35:39,080
Speaker 1: the next thing. I can't wait for Friday? How many

4105
03:35:39,120 --> 03:35:41,400
Speaker 1: people are like yo, I can't wait for Friday. Every

4106
03:35:41,480 --> 03:35:44,200
Speaker 1: day is Friday? For every day is fri I think

4107
03:35:44,280 --> 03:35:46,560
Speaker 1: we all just said the same things as far as

4108
03:35:46,640 --> 03:35:48,880
Speaker 1: just how to leverage that. What is your strategy? If

4109
03:35:48,920 --> 03:35:50,680
Speaker 1: as long as you're thinking in that manner, I think

4110
03:35:50,680 --> 03:35:53,440
Speaker 1: you're thinking in the right way. They understand me, and

4111
03:35:53,840 --> 03:35:56,840
Speaker 1: therefore everything you do in life is strategic to your

4112
03:35:56,920 --> 03:35:59,680
Speaker 1: means and your vision. Right. Like for me, I can't

4113
03:35:59,720 --> 03:36:02,640
Speaker 1: do anything unless I have a clear vision for it, right,

4114
03:36:02,760 --> 03:36:05,240
Speaker 1: And some people don't have a clear vision. Like he said,

4115
03:36:05,280 --> 03:36:07,720
Speaker 1: if you're thinking the survival mode, your vision only goes

4116
03:36:07,760 --> 03:36:11,360
Speaker 1: past your paycheck. Understand me, I'm thinking of next week

4117
03:36:11,640 --> 03:36:13,680
Speaker 1: or what I can do with that money. You don't

4118
03:36:13,680 --> 03:36:17,440
Speaker 1: actually play in the playground of your imagination, right, my hope.

4119
03:36:17,440 --> 03:36:19,600
Speaker 1: There's a thought experiment. If you tell the average person

4120
03:36:19,680 --> 03:36:22,400
Speaker 1: think of what you think is impossible, then I want

4121
03:36:22,440 --> 03:36:25,480
Speaker 1: you to imagine yourself doing it, right, so you start

4122
03:36:25,560 --> 03:36:28,760
Speaker 1: to stretch your limits. Right, it was something you were

4123
03:36:28,800 --> 03:36:33,120
Speaker 1: talking about uh with the billionaires, about thinking bigger, right, Like,

4124
03:36:33,680 --> 03:36:36,640
Speaker 1: sometimes we think based on what we can see instead

4125
03:36:36,640 --> 03:36:40,600
Speaker 1: of what we can envision. Right. The imagination is so powerful,

4126
03:36:40,720 --> 03:36:43,040
Speaker 1: the most powerful thing on the planet Earth, because you

4127
03:36:43,120 --> 03:36:46,000
Speaker 1: can literally imagine things that you may not have the

4128
03:36:46,080 --> 03:36:49,120
Speaker 1: resources for in your environment. But as long as you

4129
03:36:49,200 --> 03:36:52,240
Speaker 1: can imagine it, then you can conjure you can create it. Right.

4130
03:36:52,320 --> 03:36:55,880
Speaker 1: So for me, it's about imagining things having in a vision.

4131
03:36:56,200 --> 03:36:57,880
Speaker 1: All right, Now, what's my steps to get in there?

4132
03:36:57,920 --> 03:36:59,320
Speaker 1: All right? Well, I don't know how to do it,

4133
03:36:59,360 --> 03:37:01,640
Speaker 1: all right? First up, let me get the knowledge. Now

4134
03:37:01,720 --> 03:37:04,000
Speaker 1: that I have the knowledge, now let me write down

4135
03:37:04,040 --> 03:37:05,600
Speaker 1: the steps on what do I need to do? And

4136
03:37:05,680 --> 03:37:08,040
Speaker 1: I start knocking it out step by step. And anytime

4137
03:37:08,080 --> 03:37:09,320
Speaker 1: I get to a step I don't know what to

4138
03:37:09,400 --> 03:37:11,800
Speaker 1: do next, the next step is always learned what to do,

4139
03:37:11,959 --> 03:37:14,600
Speaker 1: then execute. So if you start to think in an

4140
03:37:14,720 --> 03:37:19,640
Speaker 1: execution manner, there is no blocks, right, It's educate yourself

4141
03:37:19,680 --> 03:37:21,760
Speaker 1: when you get to something you don't know, and then

4142
03:37:21,879 --> 03:37:25,959
Speaker 1: execute once you know, and then repeat that path forever. Right.

4143
03:37:26,040 --> 03:37:27,920
Speaker 1: So for me, I don't never have a point in

4144
03:37:27,959 --> 03:37:30,280
Speaker 1: life where it's like, Yo, you accomplished this, that in

4145
03:37:30,320 --> 03:37:32,320
Speaker 1: the third So what that wasn't the bigger vision? That

4146
03:37:32,400 --> 03:37:34,240
Speaker 1: was the steps to climb up to where I want

4147
03:37:34,280 --> 03:37:36,959
Speaker 1: to be. That was one of the things Tyler Perry

4148
03:37:37,000 --> 03:37:39,480
Speaker 1: tod us. It was like your dream big, dream more,

4149
03:37:40,280 --> 03:37:42,600
Speaker 1: and I'm like, yo, how what how do you? How

4150
03:37:42,640 --> 03:37:45,440
Speaker 1: do you dream more? But that comes with exposure and

4151
03:37:45,480 --> 03:37:48,200
Speaker 1: you put yourself in positions inside rooms or it's like, yo,

4152
03:37:48,520 --> 03:37:50,680
Speaker 1: the things that you throw were impossible and now possible.

4153
03:37:50,680 --> 03:37:52,600
Speaker 1: It's in fact the thing Pop told us, like when

4154
03:37:52,600 --> 03:37:54,080
Speaker 1: you medicine. It's like, you'll tell me your while is

4155
03:37:54,160 --> 03:37:55,800
Speaker 1: dream right now? So I can show you. I can

4156
03:37:55,840 --> 03:37:58,000
Speaker 1: blow that ship out the water so you can create more.

4157
03:37:58,560 --> 03:38:00,200
Speaker 1: I want you all to see more. I want to

4158
03:38:00,240 --> 03:38:01,600
Speaker 1: show you how to do more. I want to show

4159
03:38:01,640 --> 03:38:04,680
Speaker 1: you that anything is achievable. Because he's seeing things at

4160
03:38:04,760 --> 03:38:06,680
Speaker 1: his level, right, Like a lot of people looking at

4161
03:38:06,720 --> 03:38:08,400
Speaker 1: us and like, yo, they're super successful. I love what

4162
03:38:08,440 --> 03:38:10,560
Speaker 1: they're doing. You know, they changed my life. He's at

4163
03:38:10,600 --> 03:38:13,039
Speaker 1: a different level. He's seeing things at this level. Right.

4164
03:38:13,120 --> 03:38:14,520
Speaker 1: We got to get to that point so we can

4165
03:38:14,560 --> 03:38:16,560
Speaker 1: see the barriers that he's kids because we're kicking down

4166
03:38:16,600 --> 03:38:19,720
Speaker 1: barriers here, right, And we didn't get to but he's

4167
03:38:19,720 --> 03:38:21,680
Speaker 1: seeing things at his level, but how many people are

4168
03:38:21,720 --> 03:38:24,080
Speaker 1: He's new to it? Like for as great as we

4169
03:38:24,160 --> 03:38:26,200
Speaker 1: think he is and were great as we think as

4170
03:38:26,200 --> 03:38:28,960
Speaker 1: Tyler is, and they're new to it. We're talking about

4171
03:38:29,000 --> 03:38:30,560
Speaker 1: when you talk about the Wall and family, we're talking

4172
03:38:30,560 --> 03:38:34,520
Speaker 1: about generations of just wealth. Right, we're talking about the

4173
03:38:34,520 --> 03:38:36,360
Speaker 1: one of the wealthiest families in the history of the country.

4174
03:38:37,440 --> 03:38:40,280
Speaker 1: Everybody here that looks like us is new, so they're

4175
03:38:40,280 --> 03:38:42,960
Speaker 1: still learning and they're facing barriers, right, and so like

4176
03:38:43,080 --> 03:38:45,600
Speaker 1: as we climb, it's like, all right, well, who gets

4177
03:38:45,680 --> 03:38:48,480
Speaker 1: to tell their story? Who gets to telling? Like, Yo,

4178
03:38:48,800 --> 03:38:50,800
Speaker 1: what are the things you're facing at this level? Because

4179
03:38:51,320 --> 03:38:53,280
Speaker 1: as we're trying to climb to it, we need to

4180
03:38:53,400 --> 03:38:56,680
Speaker 1: know so that when we get there, Oh, it's gonna

4181
03:38:56,680 --> 03:38:58,680
Speaker 1: be a smoother process for us. That's the that's the key.

4182
03:38:58,760 --> 03:39:00,880
Speaker 1: It's like, Yo, your kick and down doors, so that

4183
03:39:01,560 --> 03:39:04,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be easier for us. You see what I'm saying.

4184
03:39:04,280 --> 03:39:06,360
Speaker 1: Like that, that's what That's why I think this is

4185
03:39:06,400 --> 03:39:08,320
Speaker 1: the most unique time. Like when I say it's a

4186
03:39:08,360 --> 03:39:15,040
Speaker 1: financial evolution, it really is. And uh, because it really

4187
03:39:15,240 --> 03:39:26,080
Speaker 1: is like being financially inclined. It's something that's never been

4188
03:39:26,320 --> 03:39:31,400
Speaker 1: preached in our community. Soon. Like I've had ten record deals.

4189
03:39:31,720 --> 03:39:34,280
Speaker 1: There's not one person I've ever signed to someone that said,

4190
03:39:34,400 --> 03:39:36,920
Speaker 1: let me help you out, sir, let me let me

4191
03:39:37,000 --> 03:39:39,640
Speaker 1: make sure you invest into the right properties, to make

4192
03:39:39,680 --> 03:39:42,840
Speaker 1: sure you take your money and give it to this encounter.

4193
03:39:45,000 --> 03:39:48,920
Speaker 1: I've been years. It's not one person I had to go,

4194
03:39:49,200 --> 03:39:51,080
Speaker 1: like I said, I think you said that earlier. I

4195
03:39:51,120 --> 03:39:53,160
Speaker 1: had to go and seek these people. But the thing

4196
03:39:53,200 --> 03:39:56,920
Speaker 1: about it is, it's like that's funked up. Where's where's

4197
03:39:56,959 --> 03:39:59,400
Speaker 1: the book that's ever gonna be written? Like yo, that's

4198
03:39:59,440 --> 03:40:03,000
Speaker 1: how you go from you know, black and brown poorness

4199
03:40:03,600 --> 03:40:07,160
Speaker 1: to you know, there's there's books that's out there. We

4200
03:40:07,240 --> 03:40:10,400
Speaker 1: just gotta read more. But but also we know it's coming.

4201
03:40:10,879 --> 03:40:13,000
Speaker 1: This is what So like, as far as you know

4202
03:40:13,080 --> 03:40:15,840
Speaker 1: how to, the NBA and NFL have like a rookie symposium.

4203
03:40:16,640 --> 03:40:18,480
Speaker 1: So we've been talking about like doing that for the

4204
03:40:18,600 --> 03:40:22,400
Speaker 1: music industry. I'm sorry. Rookie symposium is like when kie

4205
03:40:22,520 --> 03:40:27,440
Speaker 1: Like I understood that when rookies, when rookies first get drafted,

4206
03:40:27,800 --> 03:40:29,720
Speaker 1: like a couple of months after they go to like Vegas,

4207
03:40:29,760 --> 03:40:31,440
Speaker 1: they go different places and they have like a whole

4208
03:40:31,480 --> 03:40:36,480
Speaker 1: weekend of events. So that like just how you talk

4209
03:40:36,520 --> 03:40:38,240
Speaker 1: to the media. This is how you deal with these

4210
03:40:38,280 --> 03:40:41,320
Speaker 1: relationship situations, This is how you deal with money. So

4211
03:40:41,360 --> 03:40:42,879
Speaker 1: I feel like it needs to be a training camp

4212
03:40:43,360 --> 03:40:46,760
Speaker 1: for for record artists, right, But that's let me, let

4213
03:40:46,800 --> 03:40:50,280
Speaker 1: me just stop you. That's why we're so dumb in

4214
03:40:50,440 --> 03:40:53,240
Speaker 1: hip hop because we don't have that. I just told you.

4215
03:40:53,320 --> 03:40:55,360
Speaker 1: That's what we're working on. That's what we're working on.

4216
03:40:55,600 --> 03:41:02,760
Speaker 1: Artists development, the real artist one of their powers. Because

4217
03:41:02,800 --> 03:41:05,680
Speaker 1: you know why you gotta you gotta helping like me,

4218
03:41:05,879 --> 03:41:10,360
Speaker 1: but I could go fly and helping what you do

4219
03:41:10,720 --> 03:41:12,920
Speaker 1: the funk up? Because you hope someone that I can say,

4220
03:41:12,920 --> 03:41:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm up. We help you, you help somebody else. You

4221
03:41:15,000 --> 03:41:18,960
Speaker 1: help each one reach one, each one, each artist that's

4222
03:41:19,000 --> 03:41:21,760
Speaker 1: signed and the artist that's not signed, like the independent artists.

4223
03:41:21,840 --> 03:41:23,920
Speaker 1: Like one of the huge things is now, I know

4224
03:41:24,040 --> 03:41:26,800
Speaker 1: everybody wants to be independent, but don't really know how

4225
03:41:27,280 --> 03:41:29,320
Speaker 1: you understand me. I have hick Misson was asking me

4226
03:41:29,320 --> 03:41:31,720
Speaker 1: about how to create a discord, right, so that you

4227
03:41:31,800 --> 03:41:33,720
Speaker 1: can put your community in there and so you can

4228
03:41:33,800 --> 03:41:37,000
Speaker 1: have access to your own community. One thing I asked

4229
03:41:37,000 --> 03:41:38,920
Speaker 1: people all the time, it is like you have your

4230
03:41:38,959 --> 03:41:40,880
Speaker 1: favorite artists, But how much money have you spent with

4231
03:41:40,959 --> 03:41:44,480
Speaker 1: that artists over a lifetime? Average person? Probably five dollars

4232
03:41:44,520 --> 03:41:49,840
Speaker 1: based on streaming right artists? Now, yeah, nowadays stream we

4233
03:41:49,879 --> 03:41:53,199
Speaker 1: had it was you was selling it. It was your business,

4234
03:41:53,440 --> 03:41:55,360
Speaker 1: you understand me. But they changed it to the streaming

4235
03:41:55,440 --> 03:41:58,160
Speaker 1: companies and a lot of artists didn't know how to adapt. That.

4236
03:41:59,879 --> 03:42:08,200
Speaker 1: I got you for so learning learning business, you get

4237
03:42:08,240 --> 03:42:11,000
Speaker 1: creative on how to package your product, number one, you

4238
03:42:11,120 --> 03:42:13,959
Speaker 1: understand me. Otherwise you always go be looking for somebody

4239
03:42:14,000 --> 03:42:16,400
Speaker 1: else that tells you how to manage yourself, how to

4240
03:42:16,440 --> 03:42:19,160
Speaker 1: put the product out right. It's like social media. We

4241
03:42:19,240 --> 03:42:21,879
Speaker 1: sign a contract once we go on these sites, right

4242
03:42:21,959 --> 03:42:25,400
Speaker 1: that says that they own all of our intellectual property right,

4243
03:42:26,000 --> 03:42:28,840
Speaker 1: And essentially it's like signing over the masters to all

4244
03:42:28,879 --> 03:42:31,680
Speaker 1: your I P. Right and that you can make money

4245
03:42:31,720 --> 03:42:33,440
Speaker 1: on social media, but you have to leverage it the

4246
03:42:33,480 --> 03:42:36,520
Speaker 1: same way artists have the leverage doing concerts rather to

4247
03:42:36,600 --> 03:42:39,920
Speaker 1: get a direct benefit of monetization. Right. But we don't

4248
03:42:39,920 --> 03:42:42,119
Speaker 1: think about these things as business models. We just hand

4249
03:42:42,160 --> 03:42:44,640
Speaker 1: them over so we can get access. So the new

4250
03:42:44,720 --> 03:42:46,959
Speaker 1: world that's coming in when people talk about web three

4251
03:42:47,000 --> 03:42:49,160
Speaker 1: and things of that nature is figuring out how to

4252
03:42:49,280 --> 03:42:52,039
Speaker 1: be independent and how to own your own community, how

4253
03:42:52,080 --> 03:42:54,280
Speaker 1: to own your own I p how to generate a

4254
03:42:54,360 --> 03:42:57,440
Speaker 1: business around that. That's a different game. I want artists.

4255
03:42:57,840 --> 03:42:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what the average rapper makes on Blogley

4256
03:42:59,800 --> 03:43:03,000
Speaker 1: say seventy thousand, and I think it's that's way too high, right,

4257
03:43:03,480 --> 03:43:07,200
Speaker 1: But the reality of it is is that I'm just saying,

4258
03:43:07,720 --> 03:43:10,039
Speaker 1: if there's a lot of people that want to be rappers,

4259
03:43:10,080 --> 03:43:11,760
Speaker 1: and I know some of them, they're not making no

4260
03:43:11,959 --> 03:43:16,360
Speaker 1: money of their actual career. Because rappers a career. It's

4261
03:43:16,400 --> 03:43:20,120
Speaker 1: like a job, it's a business like anything else. But

4262
03:43:20,160 --> 03:43:22,640
Speaker 1: they don't know how to package it, how to products,

4263
03:43:23,200 --> 03:43:25,960
Speaker 1: how to run a concert, how to build a marketing plan,

4264
03:43:26,080 --> 03:43:29,440
Speaker 1: distribution around any of what they're doing. So it's okay

4265
03:43:29,560 --> 03:43:32,080
Speaker 1: to be of the artists in the credive community, but

4266
03:43:32,240 --> 03:43:34,560
Speaker 1: you have to learn the business that coincides with it.

4267
03:43:35,080 --> 03:43:37,560
Speaker 1: So otherwise you can't complain about the contract. I'm gonna

4268
03:43:37,560 --> 03:43:41,120
Speaker 1: give Oakland some credit. I'm gonna give Oakland some I'm

4269
03:43:41,120 --> 03:43:45,760
Speaker 1: gonna get Oakland Oakland because because one of our alumni

4270
03:43:45,920 --> 03:43:50,880
Speaker 1: from E y L. The Russell Yeah yeah, Yeahble you

4271
03:43:50,959 --> 03:43:55,600
Speaker 1: had him on here. No, no, but it's incredible. You

4272
03:43:55,720 --> 03:44:00,520
Speaker 1: got everything that he didn spoke about, figured it out

4273
03:44:00,680 --> 03:44:03,200
Speaker 1: and is mastering it. And we're not We're gonna do

4274
03:44:03,240 --> 03:44:04,760
Speaker 1: some stuff with him too. But he's figured it out

4275
03:44:04,800 --> 03:44:08,760
Speaker 1: how to monetize his audience. Whereas when most times people

4276
03:44:08,800 --> 03:44:11,880
Speaker 1: just buy tickets, it's like there's no relationship between. He

4277
03:44:11,959 --> 03:44:14,040
Speaker 1: has figured out, like, yo, how do I maximize knowing

4278
03:44:14,120 --> 03:44:16,680
Speaker 1: my audience, knowing my and making sure that they get

4279
03:44:16,760 --> 03:44:20,600
Speaker 1: exactly what they need, but also incentivizing the things that

4280
03:44:20,680 --> 03:44:26,240
Speaker 1: he's given. He really has figured out, like like Nip

4281
03:44:26,400 --> 03:44:30,800
Speaker 1: kind of glorified, but he's really taken it to the

4282
03:44:30,879 --> 03:44:32,600
Speaker 1: next level where it's like, yo, you can pay anything

4283
03:44:32,640 --> 03:44:34,400
Speaker 1: you want. So his album, you can pay a dollar

4284
03:44:34,440 --> 03:44:36,520
Speaker 1: for it, or you can pay a thousand dollars for

4285
03:44:37,440 --> 03:44:39,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Whereas most people look at it like YO,

4286
03:44:39,520 --> 03:44:41,280
Speaker 1: all right, how many people are gonna pay a dollar? Yeah,

4287
03:44:41,280 --> 03:44:42,880
Speaker 1: people are gonna pay a doll for it. But then

4288
03:44:42,920 --> 03:44:45,200
Speaker 1: you might get somebody like us who are looking at

4289
03:44:45,200 --> 03:44:46,720
Speaker 1: it like, yo, I love what he's doing. I'm gonna

4290
03:44:46,760 --> 03:44:48,560
Speaker 1: pay five dollars for it. And he's building up a

4291
03:44:48,640 --> 03:44:54,680
Speaker 1: core audience straight front, like and you utilizing into the

4292
03:44:54,720 --> 03:44:56,840
Speaker 1: sense where it's like from a math standpoint, it's like,

4293
03:44:56,879 --> 03:44:58,800
Speaker 1: all right, well, if I pay a dollar and he

4294
03:44:58,879 --> 03:45:01,720
Speaker 1: pays five hundred, if enough people do that on average,

4295
03:45:01,720 --> 03:45:04,039
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make about twenty seven dollars if if if

4296
03:45:04,120 --> 03:45:06,400
Speaker 1: everybody pays a dollar ten and a couple of people

4297
03:45:06,600 --> 03:45:08,520
Speaker 1: that are you thinking about it? Right? Like if you

4298
03:45:08,600 --> 03:45:11,600
Speaker 1: put out album today, are you making twenty seven dollars

4299
03:45:11,760 --> 03:45:15,000
Speaker 1: per album? No? Way? Right after they thinking about album?

4300
03:45:15,080 --> 03:45:21,840
Speaker 1: Not not you, but you looked at me doing shows

4301
03:45:21,879 --> 03:45:24,840
Speaker 1: at his house and exactly so he directed ansumers but

4302
03:45:24,920 --> 03:45:27,520
Speaker 1: everything most people on the album, and they're gonna get

4303
03:45:27,600 --> 03:45:29,280
Speaker 1: like points on the album. So it's like, yeah, you

4304
03:45:29,400 --> 03:45:34,200
Speaker 1: might make nine sense, he might sell, but he's making

4305
03:45:34,280 --> 03:45:38,080
Speaker 1: twenty seven. East credit to the history of the Bay

4306
03:45:38,200 --> 03:45:46,720
Speaker 1: Area in general from being independent from the game. Down

4307
03:45:46,800 --> 03:45:51,080
Speaker 1: South too though, down South about but Houston, I would say,

4308
03:45:52,879 --> 03:45:58,280
Speaker 1: the big Houston, New Orleans all that. You know what

4309
03:45:58,320 --> 03:46:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Independence. Everybody can reach your independence now, man,

4310
03:46:02,320 --> 03:46:05,040
Speaker 1: but you know your independence is let me ask. This

4311
03:46:05,200 --> 03:46:07,600
Speaker 1: is going to be like probably the last question story.

4312
03:46:07,840 --> 03:46:10,959
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be that's gonna be like cut head.

4313
03:46:12,240 --> 03:46:16,600
Speaker 1: Anybody wants to answer it, answer it. But murder and

4314
03:46:16,640 --> 03:46:23,000
Speaker 1: the hip hop murder, yeah, like like the lyrics about

4315
03:46:23,080 --> 03:46:28,240
Speaker 1: murdering killing, people murdered whatever. The death culture. Right now,

4316
03:46:28,360 --> 03:46:31,520
Speaker 1: it feel like death culture murder, people getting killed, people

4317
03:46:31,600 --> 03:46:33,640
Speaker 1: getting killed. I feel like I feel like it's energy

4318
03:46:33,959 --> 03:46:36,240
Speaker 1: and I feel like, you know, you gotta be extremely careful.

4319
03:46:36,280 --> 03:46:38,840
Speaker 1: Like I said, words have power, the energy and the

4320
03:46:38,879 --> 03:46:41,880
Speaker 1: persona that you put out has power. So you know,

4321
03:46:42,040 --> 03:46:45,840
Speaker 1: when you put out a persona of certain type of things,

4322
03:46:45,959 --> 03:46:47,480
Speaker 1: sometimes it comes back to you. And when you're in

4323
03:46:47,480 --> 03:46:50,720
Speaker 1: an environment like you never hear about the Ja Coles

4324
03:46:50,720 --> 03:46:52,680
Speaker 1: in the world, but you never hear about the j

4325
03:46:52,800 --> 03:46:54,600
Speaker 1: Coles of the world, of Chinnical Lamars of the world.

4326
03:46:54,640 --> 03:46:57,120
Speaker 1: You never heard about these people toler quality. You never

4327
03:46:57,160 --> 03:46:59,840
Speaker 1: hear a the people getting killed, if you think about it, right,

4328
03:47:00,040 --> 03:47:02,800
Speaker 1: never hear by no conscious rappers quote unquote concous rappers

4329
03:47:02,800 --> 03:47:06,800
Speaker 1: getting killed. And it's like, why why they're still black,

4330
03:47:06,840 --> 03:47:10,119
Speaker 1: they're still rappers. About anybody in another culture getting killed? Huh,

4331
03:47:10,320 --> 03:47:12,920
Speaker 1: you don't hear about anybody another culture getting killed? Well,

4332
03:47:12,959 --> 03:47:15,320
Speaker 1: that's true too. I'm just saying, just within our culture,

4333
03:47:16,280 --> 03:47:21,240
Speaker 1: how many conscious rappers have ever been killed? Just think

4334
03:47:21,240 --> 03:47:27,280
Speaker 1: about it? How many kind of comments from the same

4335
03:47:27,320 --> 03:47:29,480
Speaker 1: city where we what we think about a lot of death? Right,

4336
03:47:29,560 --> 03:47:32,280
Speaker 1: he's from Chicago, He's from death. But but how many

4337
03:47:32,320 --> 03:47:34,760
Speaker 1: conscious rappers in the history of rap has ever been killed?

4338
03:47:35,080 --> 03:47:38,520
Speaker 1: Think about it. I can't do it. Not one. I

4339
03:47:38,520 --> 03:47:42,240
Speaker 1: don't think not one. How many quote unquote gangster rappers

4340
03:47:42,280 --> 03:47:46,480
Speaker 1: have been killed? Hundreds? Saying it's almost like I think,

4341
03:47:48,200 --> 03:47:52,080
Speaker 1: so are we braving the music Tupac was. Tupac was

4342
03:47:52,120 --> 03:47:55,240
Speaker 1: borderline conscious, but towards the end of his career he

4343
03:47:55,440 --> 03:47:58,840
Speaker 1: chose a persona of a gangster and a gang banger

4344
03:47:59,520 --> 03:48:01,200
Speaker 1: and agree with you, you know what I'm saying. So

4345
03:48:01,480 --> 03:48:04,680
Speaker 1: so it's like I feel like, hey, we gotta be

4346
03:48:04,760 --> 03:48:07,840
Speaker 1: careful of what we're champion and what kind of energy

4347
03:48:07,920 --> 03:48:10,800
Speaker 1: we put out there, because ultimately, whatever energy you put

4348
03:48:10,840 --> 03:48:13,400
Speaker 1: out there is gonna come back to you. And ultimately

4349
03:48:13,480 --> 03:48:17,320
Speaker 1: we gotta be more careful about how we value each other.

4350
03:48:18,040 --> 03:48:20,480
Speaker 1: Like I said, just going back to conflict resolution is

4351
03:48:20,520 --> 03:48:22,920
Speaker 1: extremely important. This is a good thing that ended with like,

4352
03:48:23,560 --> 03:48:25,840
Speaker 1: you know, what does it take to to to understand,

4353
03:48:25,920 --> 03:48:29,520
Speaker 1: like to say, Okay, I hurt you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

4354
03:48:29,600 --> 03:48:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Like you know what I'm saying, Like, that's

4355
03:48:31,280 --> 03:48:32,920
Speaker 1: one of the hardest things to do as a manner

4356
03:48:32,959 --> 03:48:37,080
Speaker 1: to say I'm sorry. It's easier to kill somebody. It's

4357
03:48:37,120 --> 03:48:39,400
Speaker 1: easier to kill somebody than it is to say I'm sorry.

4358
03:48:39,480 --> 03:48:42,560
Speaker 1: Think about that. Like most people, it's easier to physically

4359
03:48:42,640 --> 03:48:44,480
Speaker 1: harm somebody. I could punch you in your face and

4360
03:48:44,560 --> 03:48:47,720
Speaker 1: slap you with no I gotta think about saying sorry.

4361
03:48:48,240 --> 03:48:50,560
Speaker 1: It's gonna hurt me. It's gonna bring down myself. It's

4362
03:48:50,760 --> 03:48:53,960
Speaker 1: gonna like humble me, Like I could rather just spitting

4363
03:48:54,000 --> 03:48:56,400
Speaker 1: your face and say I'm sorry. How do how do

4364
03:48:56,520 --> 03:48:57,960
Speaker 1: how do we go? Won't let you? How do we

4365
03:48:58,480 --> 03:49:01,160
Speaker 1: how do we know how to talk to each other?

4366
03:49:01,520 --> 03:49:03,680
Speaker 1: How do we know to apologize when we hurt each other?

4367
03:49:03,960 --> 03:49:06,480
Speaker 1: How do we know how to communicate to be like yo, bro,

4368
03:49:06,840 --> 03:49:09,840
Speaker 1: I wasn't feeling that without it escalating to the point

4369
03:49:09,880 --> 03:49:12,520
Speaker 1: where we got it is talking out That goes back

4370
03:49:12,560 --> 03:49:17,080
Speaker 1: to children. Conflict resolution is the biggest issue in our community.

4371
03:49:17,360 --> 03:49:19,280
Speaker 1: There's people that are doing thirty years and jail as

4372
03:49:19,320 --> 03:49:24,080
Speaker 1: people that's under ground because of conflict resolution. They wasn't

4373
03:49:24,120 --> 03:49:27,000
Speaker 1: able to communicate their problems and they thought that the

4374
03:49:27,040 --> 03:49:30,240
Speaker 1: way that to solve the problems was through violence and

4375
03:49:30,400 --> 03:49:35,240
Speaker 1: through aggression. Ultimately, that only kills two different people. It's

4376
03:49:35,240 --> 03:49:37,200
Speaker 1: going to kill the person that's dead, and it's going

4377
03:49:37,280 --> 03:49:39,200
Speaker 1: to kill the person that's gonna do forty years in life,

4378
03:49:39,320 --> 03:49:41,160
Speaker 1: and it's gonna kill their kid that's gonna grow up

4379
03:49:41,160 --> 03:49:47,080
Speaker 1: without all that. So it's like once again going back

4380
03:49:47,120 --> 03:49:50,880
Speaker 1: to financial literacy extremely important. Health extremely important, you know,

4381
03:49:51,000 --> 03:49:56,080
Speaker 1: mental health extremely important, Conflict resolution extremely important, Communication extremely important,

4382
03:49:56,320 --> 03:49:58,600
Speaker 1: Like we really got to master the art of communication.

4383
03:49:59,080 --> 03:50:01,680
Speaker 1: We really gotta under stand how to control our emotions.

4384
03:50:01,960 --> 03:50:03,800
Speaker 1: We really got to understand how to talk to each

4385
03:50:03,840 --> 03:50:06,480
Speaker 1: other as men. And this is things that's going to

4386
03:50:06,640 --> 03:50:09,880
Speaker 1: really save an uplift our community if we don't be

4387
03:50:09,960 --> 03:50:13,720
Speaker 1: gonna be in a continuous cycle of violence and people dying,

4388
03:50:14,280 --> 03:50:17,320
Speaker 1: and ultimately, nobody's winning from that. Nobody's winning from that.

4389
03:50:17,720 --> 03:50:22,400
Speaker 1: So it's like, learn how to deal with your emotions,

4390
03:50:22,840 --> 03:50:27,360
Speaker 1: learn how to communicate effectively, and hopefully this this can change,

4391
03:50:27,720 --> 03:50:30,040
Speaker 1: but we have to we have to get on a

4392
03:50:30,120 --> 03:50:32,760
Speaker 1: higher level of frequency. And I think the music plays

4393
03:50:32,760 --> 03:50:34,880
Speaker 1: a big part. And this is extremely important because this

4394
03:50:34,960 --> 03:50:36,880
Speaker 1: is a music platform. Ultimately, even though you had us

4395
03:50:36,920 --> 03:50:39,280
Speaker 1: on him thank you for that. But music is one

4396
03:50:39,320 --> 03:50:43,080
Speaker 1: of the most is probably the most important things. Appreciate

4397
03:50:43,200 --> 03:50:51,000
Speaker 1: that music is the most important thing we got. We got.

4398
03:50:52,800 --> 03:50:55,000
Speaker 1: We gotta be careful about the messages that we're putting

4399
03:50:55,040 --> 03:50:57,600
Speaker 1: in the music because the messages that were put in

4400
03:50:57,640 --> 03:51:01,800
Speaker 1: the music definitely they they impact the lives of the

4401
03:51:01,840 --> 03:51:04,240
Speaker 1: people that are listening to it. So it's like the musicians,

4402
03:51:04,280 --> 03:51:06,760
Speaker 1: it's not just art. It's not just people say like, yo,

4403
03:51:06,840 --> 03:51:09,000
Speaker 1: you could make a movie. Music is different from movies

4404
03:51:09,040 --> 03:51:10,480
Speaker 1: because I never watched the movie and thought it was

4405
03:51:10,560 --> 03:51:12,640
Speaker 1: real life. But I listened to Prodigy and I actually

4406
03:51:12,680 --> 03:51:16,640
Speaker 1: thought that that was real life. When I made The

4407
03:51:16,720 --> 03:51:20,040
Speaker 1: Warrior for I didn't know that people are exaggerating rhymes.

4408
03:51:20,640 --> 03:51:22,960
Speaker 1: So the next album is like, you don't got to

4409
03:51:23,040 --> 03:51:26,840
Speaker 1: do nothing like just yeah, and I was like, wait

4410
03:51:26,880 --> 03:51:31,400
Speaker 1: a minute, so that's fucked up. I'm talking you know

4411
03:51:31,560 --> 03:51:34,960
Speaker 1: the unabuls A little far con says something. He's say,

4412
03:51:35,840 --> 03:51:40,040
Speaker 1: one rap song is worth a thousand sermons, right, Simons,

4413
03:51:40,520 --> 03:51:45,040
Speaker 1: like a thousand speeches, I believe for for anybody. Almost

4414
03:51:45,240 --> 03:51:50,000
Speaker 1: I think the actual quote was speeches. I might have misquoted,

4415
03:51:50,440 --> 03:51:55,360
Speaker 1: but sermons or speeches because think think about the power.

4416
03:51:58,200 --> 03:52:01,280
Speaker 1: We know what that is. That's the whole another conversation.

4417
03:52:01,840 --> 03:52:03,720
Speaker 1: But when we talk about hip hop, in the death

4418
03:52:03,800 --> 03:52:06,640
Speaker 1: courture around hip hop, most people make music, but it's

4419
03:52:06,640 --> 03:52:09,680
Speaker 1: a soundtrack to their death. Don't order you understand me?

4420
03:52:10,680 --> 03:52:13,000
Speaker 1: And let me ask all three of y'all, is this

4421
03:52:13,200 --> 03:52:18,840
Speaker 1: the first time we ever had music titled death? Let

4422
03:52:18,880 --> 03:52:25,080
Speaker 1: me let me let me finish my point real quick.

4423
03:52:25,200 --> 03:52:28,960
Speaker 1: When I went to had a party for Empire that

4424
03:52:29,080 --> 03:52:31,160
Speaker 1: I forgot what they call like every year they have one,

4425
03:52:31,560 --> 03:52:33,280
Speaker 1: and they invited me to come by right because I

4426
03:52:33,400 --> 03:52:35,280
Speaker 1: was speaking to some of the office at BT, like

4427
03:52:35,400 --> 03:52:38,040
Speaker 1: money man, things of that nature. As I'm speaking to it,

4428
03:52:38,160 --> 03:52:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in the front and mostly all of the rappers,

4429
03:52:40,560 --> 03:52:42,840
Speaker 1: everybody's coming in. They come in, they stopping, they're paying

4430
03:52:42,880 --> 03:52:45,120
Speaker 1: how much and showing love, and then some of them

4431
03:52:45,160 --> 03:52:47,920
Speaker 1: will stop and be like keys. You know, we talked

4432
03:52:47,960 --> 03:52:50,280
Speaker 1: to this gangster ship, but I don't actually rather talk

4433
03:52:50,360 --> 03:52:52,720
Speaker 1: about something else. But I don't know how to switch.

4434
03:52:52,880 --> 03:52:55,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how to change, you understand me. And

4435
03:52:55,440 --> 03:52:57,720
Speaker 1: so the way you come in the door often is

4436
03:52:57,760 --> 03:52:59,800
Speaker 1: the way you have to stay because you lose your

4437
03:53:00,040 --> 03:53:02,880
Speaker 1: the ends. So it's a lot of times, just teaching

4438
03:53:02,920 --> 03:53:05,440
Speaker 1: them how you can make that pivot and music as well,

4439
03:53:05,480 --> 03:53:07,920
Speaker 1: because they'd rather make party music rather than talk about

4440
03:53:08,000 --> 03:53:11,320
Speaker 1: killing and murdering all of the time. Because every rapper

4441
03:53:11,440 --> 03:53:13,760
Speaker 1: makes the soundtrack to their death, you can go back

4442
03:53:13,840 --> 03:53:16,960
Speaker 1: to their lyrics and it looks like the description of

4443
03:53:17,040 --> 03:53:20,480
Speaker 1: how they died. Like he talked about music as a frequency,

4444
03:53:20,920 --> 03:53:23,680
Speaker 1: it can control the mind, our bodies of water. That

4445
03:53:23,920 --> 03:53:27,360
Speaker 1: music gets trapped into our subconscious and we're always thinking

4446
03:53:27,400 --> 03:53:30,120
Speaker 1: those lyrics over and over. Then we jump into the

4447
03:53:30,320 --> 03:53:34,240
Speaker 1: environments as well. So you're talking about cash, robbing and killing.

4448
03:53:34,320 --> 03:53:36,440
Speaker 1: Then you got cats around you that robbed and killed.

4449
03:53:36,760 --> 03:53:38,640
Speaker 1: So for you to get caught into the mix of

4450
03:53:38,720 --> 03:53:43,000
Speaker 1: your own lyrics only makes sense. When we talk about Greek.

4451
03:53:43,160 --> 03:53:45,360
Speaker 1: You know, from the hood, we always talk about listening.

4452
03:53:45,640 --> 03:53:48,080
Speaker 1: We can make music that reflects the environment we see,

4453
03:53:48,520 --> 03:53:50,640
Speaker 1: and we can make music that reflects the environment we

4454
03:53:50,760 --> 03:53:56,560
Speaker 1: want to see. But these are two different things. A second, man,

4455
03:53:56,560 --> 03:54:01,960
Speaker 1: it's twice the godgame. Say talk to me, but I've

4456
03:54:02,160 --> 03:54:06,000
Speaker 1: never heard of Susvestless alone having any problems in the hood.

4457
03:54:09,000 --> 03:54:13,520
Speaker 1: That's that point problem with the movie that scar Face.

4458
03:54:14,520 --> 03:54:16,800
Speaker 1: But let me look at this case. This guy's got

4459
03:54:17,360 --> 03:54:23,960
Speaker 1: I took him collection, but no security. But but they're

4460
03:54:23,960 --> 03:54:27,120
Speaker 1: not they're not from the environment. That in the environment,

4461
03:54:27,320 --> 03:54:30,320
Speaker 1: and nobody believes that that's actually. Like I said, I'm

4462
03:54:30,320 --> 03:54:33,240
Speaker 1: speaking from firsthand experience. Bro. When I was I got

4463
03:54:33,280 --> 03:54:35,640
Speaker 1: into it, almost got into a fight about at one point,

4464
03:54:35,680 --> 03:54:38,600
Speaker 1: I was prodigy, was the best rapper. And you could

4465
03:54:38,680 --> 03:54:44,040
Speaker 1: not convince me that almost dude right in middle schools,

4466
03:54:44,800 --> 03:54:47,280
Speaker 1: he was about to fight. I was there. I was

4467
03:54:47,320 --> 03:54:51,800
Speaker 1: in middle the best rapping about to fight some no prodigy,

4468
03:54:51,880 --> 03:54:54,040
Speaker 1: Like you know what I'm saying something at that time,

4469
03:54:54,200 --> 03:54:57,120
Speaker 1: you couldn't tell me that every single word he's saying,

4470
03:54:57,400 --> 03:55:00,680
Speaker 1: it's not reality. Oh you couldn't. Ge couldn't convince me

4471
03:55:00,760 --> 03:55:05,120
Speaker 1: that it wasn't reality because that's how emotionally invested I was.

4472
03:55:05,280 --> 03:55:07,920
Speaker 1: I was never emotionally invested like that in any actor ever.

4473
03:55:08,360 --> 03:55:11,000
Speaker 1: I never I never watched the movie and thought I'm

4474
03:55:11,040 --> 03:55:16,720
Speaker 1: a fight over Denzel Washington. So it's like, we gotta

4475
03:55:16,760 --> 03:55:21,360
Speaker 1: be honest. It's a good argument to say, but in reality,

4476
03:55:21,560 --> 03:55:25,000
Speaker 1: our culture, our children, it's real, are looking at rappers

4477
03:55:25,080 --> 03:55:28,840
Speaker 1: way different than it look active different. When I when

4478
03:55:28,880 --> 03:55:31,400
Speaker 1: I hurt body in the trunk, Bro, I had the question,

4479
03:55:31,480 --> 03:55:34,600
Speaker 1: is this a real story, real ship record, great record?

4480
03:55:34,920 --> 03:55:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I really want to know why it was never?

4481
03:55:38,080 --> 03:55:42,760
Speaker 1: I wonder why I was never. I'm not stop this

4482
03:55:42,880 --> 03:55:55,320
Speaker 1: real or any invest the statue limitations that never happened.

4483
03:55:58,760 --> 03:56:03,280
Speaker 1: It's beautiful. I'm listening to nas. I'm like, what is beautiful?

4484
03:56:03,360 --> 03:56:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, who's normal? It's beautiful. Yeah, we need it all.

4485
03:56:12,480 --> 03:56:15,080
Speaker 1: But but when the gods stopped being in wrapping hip hop,

4486
03:56:15,200 --> 03:56:17,840
Speaker 1: because you know it started off that, that's what sucked

4487
03:56:17,880 --> 03:56:20,760
Speaker 1: it up. When it was no longer now yourself in

4488
03:56:21,080 --> 03:56:24,120
Speaker 1: the court, the principles, no value. Then it was just

4489
03:56:25,640 --> 03:56:29,200
Speaker 1: East coast, West coast, you understand me, drill music, music,

4490
03:56:29,800 --> 03:56:33,640
Speaker 1: killing each other, laying drugs, fast sex, fast depth. Everything

4491
03:56:33,720 --> 03:56:36,440
Speaker 1: about courture now is about how to die quicker, you

4492
03:56:36,520 --> 03:56:39,680
Speaker 1: understand me. It's not how to live longer. Music now yeah,

4493
03:56:40,000 --> 03:56:44,200
Speaker 1: because it's surrounded by death courts and all of us

4494
03:56:44,360 --> 03:56:48,160
Speaker 1: as well into our age. I've never remember hip hop,

4495
03:56:50,200 --> 03:56:55,360
Speaker 1: nick nick, and it's like my son, my son is old.

4496
03:56:55,960 --> 03:57:01,240
Speaker 1: Did you understanding it's real? Said? Won't least they said

4497
03:57:01,640 --> 03:57:05,280
Speaker 1: all this ship, they never labeled that they called against

4498
03:57:05,320 --> 03:57:12,280
Speaker 1: him because that was going against the established the level

4499
03:57:12,400 --> 03:57:16,800
Speaker 1: what did you call it? The level of violence that's

4500
03:57:17,800 --> 03:57:21,560
Speaker 1: celebrated now and drill wrap is a height that's never

4501
03:57:21,600 --> 03:57:24,400
Speaker 1: been seen before. When you're smoking on somebody that's dead,

4502
03:57:24,840 --> 03:57:28,280
Speaker 1: when you make when you laugh, dances on somebody, when

4503
03:57:28,880 --> 03:57:31,680
Speaker 1: when you last see one person, they took the person's tools,

4504
03:57:32,040 --> 03:57:34,320
Speaker 1: broke into his block. Yeah, Like know what I'm saying,

4505
03:57:34,320 --> 03:57:37,120
Speaker 1: Like cast is getting carried through the streets. This is

4506
03:57:37,280 --> 03:57:40,960
Speaker 1: this is a this is a level of disrespect for

4507
03:57:41,280 --> 03:57:45,280
Speaker 1: dead people that we've never seen before, never seen, you

4508
03:57:45,320 --> 03:57:47,240
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So this this, this is like

4509
03:57:47,320 --> 03:57:51,000
Speaker 1: I said, this is influencing younger. Like I said, my

4510
03:57:51,080 --> 03:57:54,640
Speaker 1: sons are growing up on My son is eleven years old.

4511
03:57:55,240 --> 03:57:59,240
Speaker 1: He don't know anything about street life, you know what

4512
03:57:59,240 --> 03:58:01,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But like he's listening to drill music, so

4513
03:58:01,920 --> 03:58:06,040
Speaker 1: he's he's he's educating me on like Dideosama and different kids.

4514
03:58:08,320 --> 03:58:12,160
Speaker 1: But it's like ultimately, no matter no you, but it's

4515
03:58:12,160 --> 03:58:14,280
Speaker 1: no matter what, when you're listening to it, it's gonna

4516
03:58:14,320 --> 03:58:17,040
Speaker 1: have some level of effect, have some level. You don't

4517
03:58:17,040 --> 03:58:19,160
Speaker 1: even have to be able to live that you don't

4518
03:58:19,520 --> 03:58:22,600
Speaker 1: after a while when you're listening to it, he's telling

4519
03:58:22,680 --> 03:58:24,520
Speaker 1: me about sugar Hill. I'm like, what you know about

4520
03:58:24,520 --> 03:58:27,760
Speaker 1: sugar He's like, Dideosma from sugar Hill, sugar Hill. I'm

4521
03:58:27,840 --> 03:58:29,840
Speaker 1: thinking A Z like you know what I'm saying, the

4522
03:58:29,920 --> 03:58:32,520
Speaker 1: movie sugar Hill, that was an aspirational sugar Hill from Hallm.

4523
03:58:32,600 --> 03:58:34,400
Speaker 1: That's one of the that was one of the richest

4524
03:58:34,400 --> 03:58:36,760
Speaker 1: blocks in the Hallm renaissance when A Z made sugar

4525
03:58:36,840 --> 03:58:38,640
Speaker 1: Hill a Z from Brooklyn. But it was like that

4526
03:58:38,800 --> 03:58:41,320
Speaker 1: was aspirational, Like know what I'm saying. It was like

4527
03:58:41,400 --> 03:58:43,720
Speaker 1: I made it to sugar Hill. He likes sugar Hills,

4528
03:58:43,760 --> 03:58:45,600
Speaker 1: the hood, and he's telling me about all of this

4529
03:58:45,720 --> 03:58:47,320
Speaker 1: drill wrapping, all this that's coming out of that. But

4530
03:58:47,400 --> 03:58:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like, that's the effect that is having

4531
03:58:49,960 --> 03:58:54,320
Speaker 1: on young people where it's like you celebrating your ops

4532
03:58:54,720 --> 03:58:57,880
Speaker 1: getting killed and you're dancing on their graves and you're

4533
03:58:57,920 --> 03:59:01,280
Speaker 1: smoking it there packs and all that. At at some

4534
03:59:01,400 --> 03:59:04,440
Speaker 1: point in time, we got to understand that's gonna come

4535
03:59:04,440 --> 03:59:07,040
Speaker 1: back to you. That's Demon Time Ship. That's like that's

4536
03:59:07,080 --> 03:59:10,440
Speaker 1: what it ain't no God in it, no more like

4537
03:59:10,520 --> 03:59:12,440
Speaker 1: they don't even believe in God for the most part,

4538
03:59:12,680 --> 03:59:15,440
Speaker 1: Like they really acted sam on Demon Time that's somebody

4539
03:59:15,480 --> 03:59:17,760
Speaker 1: who's a million for the devil. You understand me. So

4540
03:59:17,880 --> 03:59:20,640
Speaker 1: all their lower thoughts and ideas, they don't have no

4541
03:59:20,800 --> 03:59:24,120
Speaker 1: ideas towards life off. But a lot of times people

4542
03:59:24,280 --> 03:59:28,600
Speaker 1: say you reach out to the younger generation. Sometimes I'm like, man,

4543
03:59:29,920 --> 03:59:32,320
Speaker 1: well it's a lot of younger it's a lot of

4544
03:59:32,400 --> 03:59:35,040
Speaker 1: younger generation to reach out to. I was them before

4545
03:59:35,440 --> 03:59:41,040
Speaker 1: you gotta make it. Yeah, but I was on that

4546
03:59:41,280 --> 03:59:44,640
Speaker 1: level of disrespect, like like I didn't like that older

4547
03:59:44,720 --> 03:59:48,760
Speaker 1: niggas didn't give me love that I wanted. That's who

4548
03:59:48,840 --> 03:59:51,280
Speaker 1: did you look up to at that time? But when

4549
03:59:51,320 --> 03:59:53,600
Speaker 1: you was twenty you made Warrport, you said black on

4550
03:59:53,720 --> 03:59:57,320
Speaker 1: black crime. It's both, it's Swain, we both back background,

4551
03:59:57,880 --> 04:00:00,960
Speaker 1: both sing em to mar So it's like you got

4552
04:00:03,480 --> 04:00:08,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying that you have always come back to

4553
04:00:08,480 --> 04:00:12,240
Speaker 1: knowledge yourself and they ain't got nothing. And if you don't,

4554
04:00:12,960 --> 04:00:19,600
Speaker 1: you don't know you can. You can call yourself a demon,

4555
04:00:19,680 --> 04:00:22,320
Speaker 1: but you can't call yourself a god. Understand me, And

4556
04:00:22,480 --> 04:00:25,360
Speaker 1: that's that's that's a serious point. Knowledge yourself. I don't

4557
04:00:25,360 --> 04:00:27,120
Speaker 1: care who you are, where you come from, what's your course,

4558
04:00:27,160 --> 04:00:29,560
Speaker 1: and what's your background. There ain't never been no greater

4559
04:00:29,680 --> 04:00:32,640
Speaker 1: man than where knowledge yourself has taught men how to become.

4560
04:00:32,880 --> 04:00:35,080
Speaker 1: You understand me. I'm talking about like when you're talking

4561
04:00:35,120 --> 04:00:38,480
Speaker 1: about people love Malcolm X, people love Minister far Kind

4562
04:00:38,560 --> 04:00:41,280
Speaker 1: in the Nation of Islam, because that was his foundations.

4563
04:00:41,640 --> 04:00:43,520
Speaker 1: You understand me, to let you know who you are.

4564
04:00:43,880 --> 04:00:47,120
Speaker 1: They are here navigating lost. So they're gonna fall in

4565
04:00:47,200 --> 04:00:48,640
Speaker 1: love with the money. They're gonna fall in love with

4566
04:00:48,680 --> 04:00:50,320
Speaker 1: the drugs. They're gonna fall in love with the sex

4567
04:00:50,440 --> 04:00:54,000
Speaker 1: to influence the party in the industry. The most dangerous

4568
04:00:54,080 --> 04:00:56,560
Speaker 1: thing for a young mind is to be impressed. When

4569
04:00:56,560 --> 04:00:58,880
Speaker 1: you're impressed by something that changes the integrity of who

4570
04:00:58,960 --> 04:01:01,640
Speaker 1: you are, when you already don't have that thinking, that

4571
04:01:01,840 --> 04:01:04,880
Speaker 1: confidence of knowing who you are. Then something else you

4572
04:01:04,960 --> 04:01:07,240
Speaker 1: can look at, this is greater than yourself, and they

4573
04:01:07,280 --> 04:01:09,720
Speaker 1: can use that to manipulate and control you in any

4574
04:01:09,840 --> 04:01:12,200
Speaker 1: faster the way. So these young boys, they look at

4575
04:01:12,240 --> 04:01:14,280
Speaker 1: all he talked about murder and death, he talked about

4576
04:01:14,360 --> 04:01:16,640
Speaker 1: his options. I'm impressed by that. He got likes, he

4577
04:01:16,720 --> 04:01:18,680
Speaker 1: got money off of it. I'm going to do the

4578
04:01:18,760 --> 04:01:26,600
Speaker 1: same thing. Can we look at anything anti black that y'all?

4579
04:01:26,680 --> 04:01:32,960
Speaker 1: This and the dad, this is wicked. This is corny.

4580
04:01:34,760 --> 04:01:41,440
Speaker 1: We denounced that absolutely, that's not your opposition. Yeah, these

4581
04:01:41,440 --> 04:01:43,760
Speaker 1: are people that look like what I want to talk

4582
04:01:43,800 --> 04:01:47,320
Speaker 1: about yours is like from if you listen, like I'm

4583
04:01:47,320 --> 04:01:48,920
Speaker 1: gonna thinking because when he sat there, I'm like, yo,

4584
04:01:49,000 --> 04:01:51,800
Speaker 1: damn closer, Like you literally started my saying. I started

4585
04:01:51,800 --> 04:01:54,160
Speaker 1: out and I rapped the wrong route. You already knew.

4586
04:01:54,880 --> 04:01:57,760
Speaker 1: You already knew. But this aspiration in the next few lines,

4587
04:01:57,880 --> 04:02:00,280
Speaker 1: like trying to go from paint overs to make sofas. Yeah,

4588
04:02:00,960 --> 04:02:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get to that point. You see what

4589
04:02:03,200 --> 04:02:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like we were busy talking about no, bro, Like, Yo,

4590
04:02:06,720 --> 04:02:09,080
Speaker 1: this is the circumstances that we end and the real

4591
04:02:09,400 --> 04:02:12,360
Speaker 1: how are we gonna get We're not trying to stay here,

4592
04:02:12,920 --> 04:02:17,120
Speaker 1: We're trying to go here. I'm really your brother. What

4593
04:02:17,160 --> 04:02:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying like inside, like at twenty so think about that.

4594
04:02:19,320 --> 04:02:21,160
Speaker 1: You're doing that at twenty poem part of that too,

4595
04:02:21,200 --> 04:02:23,480
Speaker 1: But it's like, yo, ya can see it. Y'all started

4596
04:02:23,520 --> 04:02:25,680
Speaker 1: from it. But Yo, this is the aspiration to get

4597
04:02:25,720 --> 04:02:28,200
Speaker 1: to hear Whereas now it's like, how can I be

4598
04:02:28,320 --> 04:02:32,360
Speaker 1: as disrespectful as possible? Is the power amount? What did

4599
04:02:32,480 --> 04:02:35,000
Speaker 1: Nipsey Hustle say He's say, when you look at the

4600
04:02:35,080 --> 04:02:37,520
Speaker 1: guys in the the hood, often when they go looking

4601
04:02:37,600 --> 04:02:39,720
Speaker 1: for somebody, looking for somebody that look like them, you're

4602
04:02:39,720 --> 04:02:42,520
Speaker 1: looking to go kill as something. Let me that's what happens.

4603
04:02:42,720 --> 04:02:44,520
Speaker 1: Let me change the subject real quick, because this is

4604
04:02:44,560 --> 04:02:47,080
Speaker 1: what everybody think. Do you think Nipsey Hustle being killed

4605
04:02:47,160 --> 04:02:50,960
Speaker 1: wascy theory? I mean a conspiracy theory is just people

4606
04:02:51,000 --> 04:02:53,520
Speaker 1: having a theory that was in conspiracy. You understand me.

4607
04:02:54,280 --> 04:02:56,320
Speaker 1: To be killed, I have no facts around this, so

4608
04:02:56,360 --> 04:03:00,280
Speaker 1: I don't want theorist. I know that Nipsey hustle life

4609
04:03:00,520 --> 04:03:02,760
Speaker 1: was probably one of the greatest lessons in hip hop Ever,

4610
04:03:03,280 --> 04:03:05,800
Speaker 1: you understand me, and I don't want people to be

4611
04:03:05,960 --> 04:03:08,880
Speaker 1: fearful of the legacy that he left behind. You understand me.

4612
04:03:09,000 --> 04:03:12,000
Speaker 1: Many people would die on the route to change, right,

4613
04:03:12,280 --> 04:03:16,120
Speaker 1: but you honor Jesus. You honor their life by going

4614
04:03:16,240 --> 04:03:18,360
Speaker 1: further doing the same thing that they did. You don't

4615
04:03:18,400 --> 04:03:20,280
Speaker 1: honor by saying what now, I don't want to do that.

4616
04:03:20,720 --> 04:03:22,560
Speaker 1: That's not how you honor a man that lived his

4617
04:03:22,680 --> 04:03:25,520
Speaker 1: life trying to change his environment and the circumstances of

4618
04:03:26,040 --> 04:03:28,240
Speaker 1: you looking at that life and saying, this is how

4619
04:03:28,360 --> 04:03:30,840
Speaker 1: he failed, Let me do something different exactly. That's the

4620
04:03:30,960 --> 04:03:34,480
Speaker 1: points from you always got to learn from revolutionaries. Every

4621
04:03:34,520 --> 04:03:39,040
Speaker 1: revolutionary makes mistakes. But it's like Shake Rivera, he's he

4622
04:03:39,280 --> 04:03:42,480
Speaker 1: he's a revolutionary and he ended up dying for the cause.

4623
04:03:42,960 --> 04:03:47,000
Speaker 1: But ultimately they won, you know what I'm saying, like

4624
04:03:47,040 --> 04:03:59,880
Speaker 1: they took a shot for that. I don't know. I respect,

4625
04:04:00,000 --> 04:04:04,240
Speaker 1: I respect changed what like like this in the sense,

4626
04:04:04,360 --> 04:04:07,040
Speaker 1: but I mean, I know it's deeper with cash and

4627
04:04:07,080 --> 04:04:08,600
Speaker 1: all that, But I'm just saying as far as the

4628
04:04:08,960 --> 04:04:12,880
Speaker 1: original intense, No, the intense themselves from the oppression. I

4629
04:04:12,960 --> 04:04:17,560
Speaker 1: respect people the proactiveness, but what we don't know what

4630
04:04:17,680 --> 04:04:22,480
Speaker 1: that man became and the revolution. That's exactly why it's

4631
04:04:22,480 --> 04:04:24,520
Speaker 1: called And he could tie it into Dion, you could

4632
04:04:24,520 --> 04:04:27,240
Speaker 1: talk into anything. The reason it's called the marathon because

4633
04:04:27,320 --> 04:04:29,080
Speaker 1: the baton needs to be passed. And so when we

4634
04:04:29,120 --> 04:04:31,560
Speaker 1: look at Nipsey's, I can see we are Nipsey's. I

4635
04:04:31,600 --> 04:04:33,680
Speaker 1: can see we don't look at it like yeah, that's his. No,

4636
04:04:33,760 --> 04:04:35,960
Speaker 1: we look at it like that's ours, right, Like the

4637
04:04:36,040 --> 04:04:39,920
Speaker 1: marathon continues like we really live in that's it's it's

4638
04:04:40,000 --> 04:04:42,560
Speaker 1: in us. So crazy about Nip. We was actually real

4639
04:04:42,680 --> 04:04:44,600
Speaker 1: Nip fans. We went to his concert and all of that, like,

4640
04:04:44,640 --> 04:04:47,000
Speaker 1: we're really supported it, and we knew that we was

4641
04:04:47,040 --> 04:04:49,800
Speaker 1: waking an interview with him after he died. Every single

4642
04:04:49,920 --> 04:04:52,680
Speaker 1: person we haven't met Black Sam yet, but every single

4643
04:04:52,760 --> 04:04:57,480
Speaker 1: person from j Stone to Dave Growth Sam, his sister,

4644
04:04:57,720 --> 04:05:04,080
Speaker 1: to his sister to Damn Steve All everyone I love y'all,

4645
04:05:04,120 --> 04:05:06,120
Speaker 1: call me the middle of bro Nip. Nip would have

4646
04:05:06,120 --> 04:05:08,320
Speaker 1: loved y'all. He called me in the middle of everyone.

4647
04:05:08,400 --> 04:05:10,160
Speaker 1: Everyone of him like, Yo, Nip would have loved y'all

4648
04:05:10,200 --> 04:05:12,840
Speaker 1: because y'all doing exactly what he wanted to do. Yeah,

4649
04:05:12,960 --> 04:05:16,640
Speaker 1: unfortunately he had an untimely demise. But it's up to

4650
04:05:16,840 --> 04:05:20,440
Speaker 1: us to carry the torch to and to keep it,

4651
04:05:20,640 --> 04:05:22,920
Speaker 1: keep it, keep the race going. So that's actually my

4652
04:05:23,080 --> 04:05:27,240
Speaker 1: last question, and I know I actually again, I actually

4653
04:05:27,280 --> 04:05:30,200
Speaker 1: had this earlier, and I want to re ask this again.

4654
04:05:32,920 --> 04:05:35,720
Speaker 1: So many of us want to invest in our own hood,

4655
04:05:37,480 --> 04:05:40,480
Speaker 1: but we we can, we can. You know, it's chinks.

4656
04:05:42,640 --> 04:05:50,280
Speaker 1: Edit that out. I'm trying to save you China. That's

4657
04:05:50,280 --> 04:06:02,720
Speaker 1: not politically correct. Everybody's name Asian population, no change drug.

4658
04:06:04,200 --> 04:06:15,040
Speaker 1: I thought, I how do I get kissing today said

4659
04:06:15,200 --> 04:06:18,920
Speaker 1: edit that out. He said, I didn't smoking the gunball

4660
04:06:20,080 --> 04:06:27,080
Speaker 1: going he said the chinks I said, but I'm looking

4661
04:06:27,120 --> 04:06:34,320
Speaker 1: at your face is like waiting that weaded so many people,

4662
04:06:36,440 --> 04:06:40,520
Speaker 1: so many people, so many people. Uh, look at what's

4663
04:06:40,560 --> 04:06:45,000
Speaker 1: my man name, young Dolf yeast peace. So many people

4664
04:06:45,040 --> 04:06:47,880
Speaker 1: get murdered at home, and yeah, in their own hood,

4665
04:06:48,440 --> 04:06:51,400
Speaker 1: they'll stay home, they try to investigate. And if they

4666
04:06:51,440 --> 04:06:53,240
Speaker 1: don't try to investigate hood, what they're trying to do

4667
04:06:53,400 --> 04:06:56,880
Speaker 1: is invest into the investment that's already invested, and then

4668
04:06:56,880 --> 04:06:59,640
Speaker 1: they'll go and try to support that investment. Yeah, but

4669
04:06:59,760 --> 04:07:06,600
Speaker 1: then they die. Yeah, And I understand what you guys

4670
04:07:06,640 --> 04:07:09,160
Speaker 1: are saying, go back and invest, but there's so many

4671
04:07:10,080 --> 04:07:13,480
Speaker 1: cases of rappers going home to invest into their own

4672
04:07:13,560 --> 04:07:18,720
Speaker 1: hood and then trying to to build that financial well

4673
04:07:19,240 --> 04:07:22,200
Speaker 1: and then they die. But there's also so many cases

4674
04:07:22,480 --> 04:07:26,160
Speaker 1: like tr Gucci. You're not Gucci, but jeez, you understand me.

4675
04:07:26,240 --> 04:07:29,480
Speaker 1: They invested into Atlanta heavily. I think that if you

4676
04:07:29,600 --> 04:07:33,240
Speaker 1: focus on the cases where things went wrong, you magnify that.

4677
04:07:33,720 --> 04:07:35,960
Speaker 1: But there are so many black men and women that

4678
04:07:36,120 --> 04:07:39,280
Speaker 1: do invest in to commercial real estate in their neighborhood.

4679
04:07:41,080 --> 04:07:49,360
Speaker 1: And um, but jeez, won't promote that. I mean, the

4680
04:07:49,440 --> 04:07:51,280
Speaker 1: only reason I know it is because he said it.

4681
04:07:52,280 --> 04:07:54,800
Speaker 1: Want the exact location. I get what you're saying. You're saying,

4682
04:07:54,960 --> 04:07:57,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you have to be intelligent. You

4683
04:07:57,480 --> 04:07:59,160
Speaker 1: have to be intelligent, right, and you have to we

4684
04:07:59,280 --> 04:08:02,480
Speaker 1: have to look in for full circumstances as well. That

4685
04:08:02,640 --> 04:08:06,120
Speaker 1: wasn't just a random act of violence when Nipsey Hustle, right,

4686
04:08:06,520 --> 04:08:09,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, ultimately I love Nipsey Hustle. But

4687
04:08:09,920 --> 04:08:12,480
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I love Nipsey Hustle. I love everything

4688
04:08:12,560 --> 04:08:15,480
Speaker 1: about him, and I love his music. But ultimately, you're

4689
04:08:15,480 --> 04:08:18,360
Speaker 1: still a gang member and it's a it's a conflict

4690
04:08:18,400 --> 04:08:24,560
Speaker 1: between another gang member, so make it what I'm saying.

4691
04:08:24,600 --> 04:08:27,400
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is that we gotta look at the

4692
04:08:27,440 --> 04:08:30,120
Speaker 1: whole picture and be and be truthful about it. Right,

4693
04:08:30,400 --> 04:08:32,640
Speaker 1: It's not just a random act of He just opened

4694
04:08:32,720 --> 04:08:34,320
Speaker 1: up a business in his neighborhood and he got killed

4695
04:08:34,360 --> 04:08:37,000
Speaker 1: for no reason. It's like, these are different activities that

4696
04:08:37,120 --> 04:08:39,800
Speaker 1: take place within gang culture. So it's like, now we

4697
04:08:39,840 --> 04:08:42,800
Speaker 1: gotta look at the bigger picture of gang culture, where

4698
04:08:42,800 --> 04:08:46,240
Speaker 1: we know that most crips are not killed by bloods,

4699
04:08:46,640 --> 04:08:49,800
Speaker 1: most crips are killed by crips. Most bloods are killed

4700
04:08:49,880 --> 04:08:52,600
Speaker 1: by bloods. This is an internal conflict that's been happening

4701
04:08:52,640 --> 04:08:55,040
Speaker 1: for a long time. Nipsey Hustle not the first person.

4702
04:08:55,120 --> 04:08:56,920
Speaker 1: He's not the first Rolling sixty to get killed by

4703
04:08:57,040 --> 04:08:59,680
Speaker 1: Rolling sixty. That has been happening for a long time,

4704
04:09:00,360 --> 04:09:02,280
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So it's like, it's not

4705
04:09:02,400 --> 04:09:05,120
Speaker 1: necessarily I don't think that it's because Nipsey Hustle opened

4706
04:09:05,120 --> 04:09:07,360
Speaker 1: the business in this neighborhood and he got killed. It's

4707
04:09:07,400 --> 04:09:09,680
Speaker 1: probably because of internal What I'm saying is, how do

4708
04:09:09,760 --> 04:09:12,080
Speaker 1: we defer people from saying that. How do we tell

4709
04:09:12,160 --> 04:09:15,280
Speaker 1: Gumbo Gumbo? Listen, you met him on a hundred forty

4710
04:09:15,920 --> 04:09:18,960
Speaker 1: Gumbo wants to, you know, put Madison Square, Gumbo on

4711
04:09:19,080 --> 04:09:21,680
Speaker 1: a hundred forty free right where Copler's used to be.

4712
04:09:22,080 --> 04:09:24,960
Speaker 1: But but guess what the sixteen people who just got

4713
04:09:25,080 --> 04:09:27,360
Speaker 1: killed up the block or down the block or around

4714
04:09:27,400 --> 04:09:30,440
Speaker 1: the block. And then why why why would we invest

4715
04:09:30,560 --> 04:09:34,040
Speaker 1: into these communities that is actually savage? How do they

4716
04:09:34,120 --> 04:09:36,360
Speaker 1: do it when when you look at gentrification, what is

4717
04:09:36,400 --> 04:09:38,680
Speaker 1: the process that happens a lot of times they move

4718
04:09:38,760 --> 04:09:41,800
Speaker 1: out a lot of people before they invest into that neighborhood.

4719
04:09:42,240 --> 04:09:44,320
Speaker 1: You understand me. This is how they control it. So

4720
04:09:44,440 --> 04:09:46,080
Speaker 1: you start to see a bunch of people that get

4721
04:09:46,200 --> 04:09:48,600
Speaker 1: priced out of just get kicked out of that neighborhood.

4722
04:09:48,960 --> 04:09:51,280
Speaker 1: Then they start to bring in the Starbucks. Then they

4723
04:09:51,320 --> 04:09:54,200
Speaker 1: start to bring in, right, all of the different type

4724
04:09:54,240 --> 04:09:55,800
Speaker 1: of business. Because let me stop before, which is not

4725
04:09:55,920 --> 04:09:58,760
Speaker 1: at a particularly bad things. We did the same thing

4726
04:09:58,840 --> 04:10:02,680
Speaker 1: because justification had started in like the like the barely

4727
04:10:02,840 --> 04:10:05,280
Speaker 1: white neighborhoods at first, and there was like all right,

4728
04:10:05,320 --> 04:10:08,320
Speaker 1: whol it's like like twelve cent black people, just get

4729
04:10:08,360 --> 04:10:10,400
Speaker 1: them out of here. Let let me say this more.

4730
04:10:10,520 --> 04:10:13,800
Speaker 1: It's about how you do it though, right, Magic Johnson

4731
04:10:13,920 --> 04:10:20,720
Speaker 1: has it there in or right, he got it there

4732
04:10:20,760 --> 04:10:23,400
Speaker 1: on Hunt fifth Street. Right, it's how you do it.

4733
04:10:23,640 --> 04:10:25,400
Speaker 1: You don't necessarily have to be hanging out in front

4734
04:10:25,400 --> 04:10:29,960
Speaker 1: of the every single day you und you don't necessarily

4735
04:10:30,040 --> 04:10:33,360
Speaker 1: have to be involved in the neighborhood politics. So it's

4736
04:10:33,400 --> 04:10:35,240
Speaker 1: about being intelligent at the end of the day as well,

4737
04:10:35,640 --> 04:10:37,440
Speaker 1: and how how you carrying It's like, we could do

4738
04:10:37,520 --> 04:10:42,360
Speaker 1: good business, but let's do good business some Unfortunately sometimes

4739
04:10:42,680 --> 04:10:46,160
Speaker 1: most of the times we we we mix business and

4740
04:10:46,240 --> 04:10:48,400
Speaker 1: neighborhood and we don't know how they can buy, and

4741
04:10:48,440 --> 04:10:50,840
Speaker 1: we don't know how to separate the two businesses, business

4742
04:10:50,880 --> 04:10:53,720
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood politics and neighborhood politics. If you're a

4743
04:10:53,800 --> 04:10:55,800
Speaker 1: business owner in that neighborhood and you have a business

4744
04:10:55,800 --> 04:10:57,760
Speaker 1: own in the neighborhood, you don't necessarily need to be

4745
04:10:57,920 --> 04:11:02,320
Speaker 1: deeply rooted in the neighborhood politics. Separate yourself because you

4746
04:11:02,360 --> 04:11:04,360
Speaker 1: could be a business owner and uplift the community and

4747
04:11:04,440 --> 04:11:07,200
Speaker 1: make money. But when you when you are deep rooted

4748
04:11:07,200 --> 04:11:11,240
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood politics, neighborhood issues, is gonna happen to you.

4749
04:11:11,560 --> 04:11:13,640
Speaker 1: That's that's part, that's the natural progression. It's like when

4750
04:11:13,720 --> 04:11:16,200
Speaker 1: when this elevation is going to be separation. But you

4751
04:11:16,320 --> 04:11:18,200
Speaker 1: got to know that, right, there's certain things that you're

4752
04:11:18,200 --> 04:11:19,880
Speaker 1: not gonna be able to partake in. So that that

4753
04:11:19,960 --> 04:11:22,120
Speaker 1: comes on. How does the person invest into the hood

4754
04:11:22,520 --> 04:11:24,440
Speaker 1: and then not trying to be in part of it.

4755
04:11:24,520 --> 04:11:26,400
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you one thing that we're doing with

4756
04:11:26,520 --> 04:11:29,360
Speaker 1: some good brothers at Oasis. I suppose I invest in

4757
04:11:29,440 --> 04:11:32,200
Speaker 1: new work, right, and then new work has a baseball game,

4758
04:11:32,520 --> 04:11:34,120
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't want to go out? I mean, if you

4759
04:11:34,160 --> 04:11:36,000
Speaker 1: want to go, you go, But I think that's separate.

4760
04:11:36,080 --> 04:11:39,440
Speaker 1: Tend your investment, like you can invest like our our ideas,

4761
04:11:39,520 --> 04:11:42,240
Speaker 1: like investing into Black America. It could be anywhere in America,

4762
04:11:42,280 --> 04:11:45,440
Speaker 1: but it's Black America investing into our communities and have

4763
04:11:45,560 --> 04:11:48,280
Speaker 1: the businesses as owned by us. Right. Like one thing

4764
04:11:48,360 --> 04:11:50,600
Speaker 1: that we're doing is is having a fund to where

4765
04:11:50,640 --> 04:11:53,360
Speaker 1: anybody can invest in the neighborhood. Right, you go look

4766
04:11:53,400 --> 04:11:56,200
Speaker 1: at all of the abandoned houses that's in the neighborhood

4767
04:11:56,200 --> 04:11:59,400
Speaker 1: and abandoned buildings. Then you go buy those buildings up,

4768
04:11:59,520 --> 04:12:01,360
Speaker 1: you put and it's there, and the people that live

4769
04:12:01,400 --> 04:12:03,920
Speaker 1: in that environment that invested into that fund or just

4770
04:12:04,040 --> 04:12:06,520
Speaker 1: those families, they are going to support that business and

4771
04:12:06,600 --> 04:12:08,920
Speaker 1: now they also have equity in that business as well

4772
04:12:09,360 --> 04:12:12,360
Speaker 1: or that company. There's there's multiple to the different ways

4773
04:12:12,400 --> 04:12:14,840
Speaker 1: that you can go about investing. It's about what is

4774
04:12:14,880 --> 04:12:17,360
Speaker 1: your strategy and how you want to go about doing it. Now,

4775
04:12:17,480 --> 04:12:20,080
Speaker 1: somebody like you that have some money, you can invest

4776
04:12:20,200 --> 04:12:23,560
Speaker 1: all throughout America. Nobody has to know you're right. If

4777
04:12:23,600 --> 04:12:25,400
Speaker 1: you want to go to that game, you're gonna go

4778
04:12:25,480 --> 04:12:27,720
Speaker 1: to that game, whether you're invested into that community or not.

4779
04:12:28,120 --> 04:12:30,520
Speaker 1: So they have nothing to do with your investment portfolio.

4780
04:12:31,080 --> 04:12:33,880
Speaker 1: The thing is the people that own our shops and

4781
04:12:34,040 --> 04:12:36,960
Speaker 1: own our communities are not in them. You don't see

4782
04:12:37,000 --> 04:12:39,680
Speaker 1: them ever. So you can own your whole block and

4783
04:12:39,760 --> 04:12:42,560
Speaker 1: everybody could be paying you, you know, Rick, and nobody

4784
04:12:42,640 --> 04:12:44,560
Speaker 1: has to ever see that. That's my whole point. And

4785
04:12:44,640 --> 04:12:47,120
Speaker 1: you can still be active on a certain level. But

4786
04:12:47,280 --> 04:12:50,240
Speaker 1: it's like there's different between being active coming through showing

4787
04:12:50,320 --> 04:12:55,080
Speaker 1: love and being active on the corner in the barbershop

4788
04:12:55,680 --> 04:12:57,720
Speaker 1: conversation and you said it, The crazy part is that

4789
04:12:57,880 --> 04:13:01,760
Speaker 1: you actually live this right. You've been rapping, rapping left

4790
04:13:01,840 --> 04:13:06,400
Speaker 1: rack since I first heard you IRAQ, Like that's all

4791
04:13:06,480 --> 04:13:08,320
Speaker 1: I know. Then I met the person that owned it

4792
04:13:09,720 --> 04:13:13,480
Speaker 1: thirty years later. Crazy, he'd be thirty five, you know

4793
04:13:13,480 --> 04:13:16,560
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and like I know you and by

4794
04:13:18,440 --> 04:13:21,520
Speaker 1: yeah and by default like he just he like I'm

4795
04:13:21,560 --> 04:13:25,560
Speaker 1: sitting there at college house and he's sitting there, he's yeah,

4796
04:13:26,000 --> 04:13:29,880
Speaker 1: he waited, he waited to speak to me. And then

4797
04:13:29,920 --> 04:13:32,720
Speaker 1: when he changed, you have was the change? No, no, no, no, no,

4798
04:13:33,640 --> 04:13:35,480
Speaker 1: he got he got this a little bit confused. What

4799
04:13:35,760 --> 04:13:38,920
Speaker 1: it was is he seen my chain and then really

4800
04:13:39,000 --> 04:13:41,760
Speaker 1: showed him his chain when he had left frax City

4801
04:13:41,800 --> 04:13:44,040
Speaker 1: on it. You know what I'm saying. So um, But

4802
04:13:44,200 --> 04:13:46,880
Speaker 1: what it was was like he he sat there and

4803
04:13:46,880 --> 04:13:48,280
Speaker 1: he waited it and he was like, yo, you know

4804
04:13:48,360 --> 04:13:51,360
Speaker 1: you've been wrapping my family forever, and like it was

4805
04:13:51,400 --> 04:13:56,200
Speaker 1: a bit of sweet moments. He owned the business and

4806
04:13:56,280 --> 04:13:58,640
Speaker 1: you never knew who he was, but to me Italian.

4807
04:13:58,760 --> 04:14:09,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's okay to say Jewish. But

4808
04:14:11,360 --> 04:14:13,880
Speaker 1: this is important. When we was going down in Brownsville

4809
04:14:13,920 --> 04:14:16,160
Speaker 1: and throughout New York and we're having conversations with the

4810
04:14:16,200 --> 04:14:19,560
Speaker 1: business owner, most of them was Middle Eastern or Jewish.

4811
04:14:19,960 --> 04:14:22,960
Speaker 1: You can't have a conversation about Black America without having

4812
04:14:23,000 --> 04:14:26,440
Speaker 1: a conversation with or about Jewish people because we're intertwined.

4813
04:14:26,480 --> 04:14:28,520
Speaker 1: Most people, landlords are going to be Jewish. Most of

4814
04:14:28,560 --> 04:14:30,400
Speaker 1: the stories that we support are going to be Jewish.

4815
04:14:30,800 --> 04:14:32,640
Speaker 1: So what we're doing is we're looking at the same

4816
04:14:32,760 --> 04:14:34,360
Speaker 1: models that they've built and said, we want to do

4817
04:14:34,440 --> 04:14:37,240
Speaker 1: that for ourselves. Thank you for showing us. Now it's

4818
04:14:37,240 --> 04:14:40,400
Speaker 1: time for us to build a day and we should.

4819
04:14:40,560 --> 04:14:43,600
Speaker 1: And so when you say what's the blueprint, that's the blueprint.

4820
04:14:44,000 --> 04:14:46,960
Speaker 1: The Asian community is the blueprint. You understand me, they've

4821
04:14:46,960 --> 04:14:48,760
Speaker 1: shown us how to do it. All we have to

4822
04:14:48,800 --> 04:14:51,080
Speaker 1: do is follow those same models that we complain about

4823
04:14:51,480 --> 04:14:55,280
Speaker 1: instead utilize them as solutions and strategies. That's it. That's

4824
04:14:55,320 --> 04:15:01,600
Speaker 1: crazy that this came around. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.

4825
04:15:02,560 --> 04:15:05,640
Speaker 1: Thank you all so much. I'm being honest um to

4826
04:15:05,800 --> 04:15:10,400
Speaker 1: visit um, but I'm being honest. Um. Your job is

4827
04:15:10,480 --> 04:15:15,560
Speaker 1: way more dangerous than our jobs because y'all teaching people

4828
04:15:16,000 --> 04:15:19,240
Speaker 1: to get up and stay out like if you like,

4829
04:15:19,520 --> 04:15:22,000
Speaker 1: because that's that's what we're used to in the hood,

4830
04:15:22,080 --> 04:15:24,920
Speaker 1: the Ponzi scheme, right, Like you go, you come buy

4831
04:15:25,080 --> 04:15:29,400
Speaker 1: till your icy. It's Italian icy. It this is Italian.

4832
04:15:30,280 --> 04:15:32,560
Speaker 1: This is tire nicy, and then by the time you

4833
04:15:32,640 --> 04:15:35,440
Speaker 1: get to the big Italian icy, no one gets a

4834
04:15:35,600 --> 04:15:39,560
Speaker 1: tire nicey. Right. That's the posy schemes that we're used

4835
04:15:39,560 --> 04:15:42,960
Speaker 1: to in New York. Right, this is this is how

4836
04:15:43,040 --> 04:15:47,520
Speaker 1: it is. But there's no Palsi s kid, this is

4837
04:15:47,640 --> 04:15:51,480
Speaker 1: real ship. You're telling people this. You do A B

04:15:51,720 --> 04:15:58,600
Speaker 1: and C, you're gonna get to E F G and

4857
04:17:24,720 --> 04:17:27,360
Speaker 1: That was great, and he went on. He got his paycheck.

4858
04:17:27,600 --> 04:17:32,000
Speaker 1: Someone's gonna disagree, someone's gonna agree. But what y'all doing,

4859
04:17:32,840 --> 04:17:39,960
Speaker 1: it's different. Y'are teaching us how to be stable how

4860
04:17:40,000 --> 04:17:42,680
Speaker 1: to continue with this, and not only that, teach other

4861
04:17:42,840 --> 04:17:45,520
Speaker 1: people how to do It's not a secret. You could

4862
04:17:45,560 --> 04:17:48,800
Speaker 1: I could be saying, take take off, Simlar, me, you

4863
04:17:48,920 --> 04:17:51,720
Speaker 1: and five people. You're not doing that. You know what

4864
04:17:51,760 --> 04:17:54,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like these people are gonna be like, oh cool,

4865
04:17:54,960 --> 04:17:57,280
Speaker 1: they got MANswers, they got big boy roll. He's I'm

4866
04:17:57,320 --> 04:17:59,840
Speaker 1: gonna pay that. No, you're doing this for the world.

4867
04:18:00,120 --> 04:18:04,760
Speaker 1: That's a beautiful thing. We appreciate that. This is the

4868
04:18:04,880 --> 04:18:17,600
Speaker 1: last question. All of the people that I know when

4869
04:18:17,680 --> 04:18:21,720
Speaker 1: this man was president. When this man was president, everybody

4870
04:18:21,760 --> 04:18:27,680
Speaker 1: I know was rich. It's Trump good for us. Let

4871
04:18:27,720 --> 04:18:30,200
Speaker 1: me just say this, Let's just keep it really going

4872
04:18:30,200 --> 04:18:38,080
Speaker 1: to the bathroom. Donald Donald Donald Trump, Donald Trump. Donald

4873
04:18:38,160 --> 04:18:44,720
Speaker 1: Trump is definitely uh. He seemed like a racist. He's

4874
04:18:45,440 --> 04:18:47,480
Speaker 1: very ignorant person when it comes to a variety of

4875
04:18:47,520 --> 04:18:52,000
Speaker 1: different things. But he is a businessman and um at

4876
04:18:52,000 --> 04:18:54,120
Speaker 1: the end of the broke people when he was in office.

4877
04:18:56,400 --> 04:18:58,400
Speaker 1: That's the one thing I gotta give. So I say this,

4878
04:18:58,600 --> 04:19:00,760
Speaker 1: you know was your good busines? Well, I'll say this,

4879
04:19:00,840 --> 04:19:02,840
Speaker 1: you don't. You do you don't. You don't reach that

4880
04:19:02,960 --> 04:19:05,480
Speaker 1: level of success by just being an accident or being dumb.

4881
04:19:05,680 --> 04:19:08,080
Speaker 1: And I'm not even a having a family that but

4882
04:19:08,400 --> 04:19:11,440
Speaker 1: even even if you have a family, there's plenty of

4883
04:19:11,480 --> 04:19:14,240
Speaker 1: people that have families, have to have fun up. So

4884
04:19:14,320 --> 04:19:16,360
Speaker 1: we got to give some level of credit when credit

4885
04:19:16,520 --> 04:19:19,600
Speaker 1: is due. He is he is. He is a good businessman,

4886
04:19:19,640 --> 04:19:22,240
Speaker 1: he's a great marketer, marketing. Yet one of the that

4887
04:19:22,320 --> 04:19:24,200
Speaker 1: would say he's a and that's that's that's probably the

4888
04:19:24,240 --> 04:19:28,440
Speaker 1: most important part of business. Um. But as as a person,

4889
04:19:28,840 --> 04:19:31,120
Speaker 1: of course he's He's done so many different things that

4890
04:19:31,480 --> 04:19:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, he has no no integrity. So but as

4891
04:19:34,800 --> 04:19:38,880
Speaker 1: far as people won't vote for him, not not in majority,

4892
04:19:39,040 --> 04:19:42,520
Speaker 1: because they didn't vote for him last time, I know

4893
04:19:42,640 --> 04:19:46,360
Speaker 1: you're not. Even when it comes to the whole politics,

4894
04:19:46,440 --> 04:19:50,680
Speaker 1: and my whole thing has always been vote for myself.

4895
04:19:50,760 --> 04:19:54,120
Speaker 1: It don't matter whose president. If we rely on who's

4896
04:19:54,120 --> 04:19:59,040
Speaker 1: the president for our economic opportunities, we always little. The

4897
04:19:59,120 --> 04:20:01,800
Speaker 1: only person you need to vote for every season is yourself.

4898
04:20:02,160 --> 04:20:04,120
Speaker 1: You understand me. And when it kind of black America,

4899
04:20:05,400 --> 04:20:15,080
Speaker 1: you've already been voted politician. But campaigns what we're doing

4900
04:20:15,160 --> 04:20:17,680
Speaker 1: when we travel around the world, people are voting for us,

4901
04:20:18,240 --> 04:20:22,520
Speaker 1: understand me. Yeah, The campaign is the education. The campaign

4902
04:20:22,680 --> 04:20:24,720
Speaker 1: is the trail that we on. We're teaching our people

4903
04:20:24,800 --> 04:20:27,480
Speaker 1: how to do for self rather than wait somebody to

4904
04:20:27,560 --> 04:20:29,760
Speaker 1: do for you. So when you teach your people how

4905
04:20:29,840 --> 04:20:31,640
Speaker 1: to be self sufficient and they don't have to wait

4906
04:20:31,720 --> 04:20:33,800
Speaker 1: on the savior, they're not waiting to vote on the

4907
04:20:33,880 --> 04:20:37,000
Speaker 1: next old, rich white man, you understand me. They're voting

4908
04:20:37,040 --> 04:20:39,440
Speaker 1: for themselves, saying that I'm gonna take and then we

4909
04:20:39,600 --> 04:20:42,440
Speaker 1: vote with our dollars. Right, So when I'm investing into

4910
04:20:42,480 --> 04:20:45,160
Speaker 1: a black business, I'm supporting the black business. I'm voting

4911
04:20:45,240 --> 04:20:47,680
Speaker 1: for you to circulate my dollar into that community so

4912
04:20:47,840 --> 04:20:50,160
Speaker 1: we can have economic eliftment, so more of us at

4913
04:20:50,200 --> 04:20:52,640
Speaker 1: the top, right, and less of us are at the bottom.

4914
04:20:53,240 --> 04:20:56,240
Speaker 1: That you know, we tried politics for a very long time.

4915
04:20:56,760 --> 04:20:59,640
Speaker 1: People can have a conversation about politics, but it's nothing

4916
04:21:00,000 --> 04:21:02,520
Speaker 1: if it don't have the capital structure behind it, you

4917
04:21:02,640 --> 04:21:06,000
Speaker 1: understand me. So when you talk on politics, if you don't,

4918
04:21:06,640 --> 04:21:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, buy the politician and put them into place.

4919
04:21:08,960 --> 04:21:12,720
Speaker 1: Because voting is for poor people. Lobbying is for the rich. Right,

4920
04:21:12,840 --> 04:21:14,800
Speaker 1: you're rich, so you got to get into the game.

4921
04:21:15,000 --> 04:21:21,720
Speaker 1: Lobby lobbying is creating second floor the economic infrastructure to say, look,

4922
04:21:22,000 --> 04:21:24,120
Speaker 1: this is what we stand for and we need this

4923
04:21:24,240 --> 04:21:27,120
Speaker 1: to happen, right, and so when we we don't really

4924
04:21:27,200 --> 04:21:30,520
Speaker 1: have too many back lobbies and so like the lobbyists

4925
04:21:30,800 --> 04:21:36,840
Speaker 1: standing on the second floor, Well, so that's where it

4926
04:21:36,880 --> 04:21:38,920
Speaker 1: comes from. Right, We're gonna stand in the middle of

4927
04:21:39,560 --> 04:21:41,600
Speaker 1: Congress and we're gonna say look, we're gonna be outside

4928
04:21:41,600 --> 04:21:43,040
Speaker 1: the center and said, look, these are the things we

4929
04:21:43,160 --> 04:21:45,080
Speaker 1: want and if you don't do it, we're not voting

4930
04:21:45,120 --> 04:21:47,400
Speaker 1: for you. Right, and you need that back in So

4931
04:21:47,520 --> 04:21:49,680
Speaker 1: the n A has a lobby, Jewish community has. We

4932
04:21:49,800 --> 04:21:51,920
Speaker 1: don't have a lobby. And so we spoke about this

4933
04:21:52,040 --> 04:21:54,080
Speaker 1: on an episode, was like, yo, when do we create

4934
04:21:54,120 --> 04:21:57,000
Speaker 1: a Countries have lobbies and when are we going to

4935
04:21:57,040 --> 04:21:58,960
Speaker 1: create our lobby to say, like, these are the things

4936
04:21:59,040 --> 04:22:01,840
Speaker 1: that we want. We're not voting for you unless these

4937
04:22:02,000 --> 04:22:04,640
Speaker 1: needs are met. The problem is that there's so many

4938
04:22:04,720 --> 04:22:07,240
Speaker 1: needs that we can't perform to say like, yo, these

4939
04:22:07,280 --> 04:22:09,200
Speaker 1: are the things that we want. There's so many things

4940
04:22:09,240 --> 04:22:10,880
Speaker 1: that we want, but we haven't figured out what are

4941
04:22:10,960 --> 04:22:13,480
Speaker 1: the things that we're gonna put to the paramount or

4942
04:22:13,520 --> 04:22:15,840
Speaker 1: the forefront to say like this is it and if

4943
04:22:15,880 --> 04:22:18,600
Speaker 1: you don't do these things, we're not voting. What does

4944
04:22:18,680 --> 04:22:22,640
Speaker 1: every candidate, what does every candidate need that runs off?

4945
04:22:23,120 --> 04:22:28,200
Speaker 1: Hold on this. You know why he felt so confident

4946
04:22:28,240 --> 04:22:32,240
Speaker 1: saying that, because all black people vote for Democrat regardless

4947
04:22:32,240 --> 04:22:36,320
Speaker 1: of it. And they and most of you know, the

4948
04:22:36,800 --> 04:22:39,600
Speaker 1: so called activists and community leaders and people are in

4949
04:22:39,680 --> 04:22:42,400
Speaker 1: the pockets of the lobby and groups and of the

4950
04:22:42,520 --> 04:22:46,240
Speaker 1: Democratic Party regardless if they have tangible force or not.

4951
04:22:46,840 --> 04:22:48,960
Speaker 1: So the new thing is, you know, this generation don't

4952
04:22:48,960 --> 04:22:51,840
Speaker 1: believe in that ship. We don't believe in blindly voting

4953
04:22:52,000 --> 04:22:55,520
Speaker 1: just to participate in politics. We want to actually make

4954
04:22:55,640 --> 04:22:58,680
Speaker 1: everything that we do count. If our ancestors didn't just

4955
04:22:58,800 --> 04:23:00,520
Speaker 1: die for us to write to vote, they die for

4956
04:23:00,640 --> 04:23:04,000
Speaker 1: us to have ownership and control and power, you understand me.

4957
04:23:04,080 --> 04:23:07,240
Speaker 1: But we usualize these old tropes and old things over

4958
04:23:07,360 --> 04:23:09,760
Speaker 1: and over and over, but we get nothing, nothing, and nothing.

4959
04:23:10,280 --> 04:23:13,000
Speaker 1: So my whole thing is, like you said, no, no

4960
04:23:13,160 --> 04:23:16,360
Speaker 1: politician can even run office, not even win without money,

4961
04:23:16,800 --> 04:23:19,240
Speaker 1: you understand me. So he gives them that money. Are

4962
04:23:19,320 --> 04:23:21,280
Speaker 1: the people that they owe when they get into office.

4963
04:23:21,720 --> 04:23:23,240
Speaker 1: So if they owe us, then they have to do

4964
04:23:23,320 --> 04:23:30,360
Speaker 1: what we say exactly. That's that's a lobby over I

4965
04:23:30,480 --> 04:23:36,560
Speaker 1: got I gotta take at that's drink Champs. Yeah, that's that.

4966
04:23:36,720 --> 04:23:44,760
Speaker 1: That's been drink Champs. Ye, closing it off at all

4967
04:23:45,720 --> 04:23:51,480
Speaker 1: before we leave even coming back pictures. Anybody got a marker?

4968
