00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:00,800
Speaker 1: Likes to share.

2
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,279
Speaker 2: Now it's time to hear from my man, Rashan McDonald

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: money making Conversations. Here we gone. Welcome to money making Conversations.

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: I am your host, Rashaan McDonald. It is important to

5
00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: understand that everybody travels a different path to success. That

6
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: is because your brand is different and the challenge us

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: your facing your life will be different. We live from

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: different parts of the country, talk to different people, different

9
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: levels of education. So stop reading other people's success story

10
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 2: and start writing your own now. I say that honestly

11
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: because you can't be motivated by their success and a

12
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: lot of people are, but they are different people. They

13
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,239
Speaker 2: have different talents, they have different ways they've gotten to

14
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: that journey. Because your stories can't offer you a different

15
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 2: direction for you to be successful. And remember this, it's

16
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: about your planning and your committed effort that makes you successful.

17
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: My next guess is Sharyl Dorsey. She's the founder and

18
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: CEO of The Plug, a digital news and insights platform

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: covering the black innovative community innovations community, I should say

20
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: her work has been featured in Vice, The Washington Post,

21
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: and more. Has been contributing edges for notable publications like

22
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 2: Columbia journalists, Review, Fast Company, Black Enterprise, and others. The

23
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 2: Plug and Word have partnered to highlight black tech and

24
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 2: innovative innovations within the Philadelphia community by pulling together their

25
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: resources to create greater impact through storytelling. Please work in

26
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 2: the money making conversations. Scharrell Dorsy, How you doing, Miss Dorsey?

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: Hi, thank you so much for having me or Sehn,

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 3: It's such a pleasure to be here with you today

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: and being part of this conversation. I'm really excited about

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 3: the work that we're doing in Philadelphia.

31
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: So what does that work? So let's go and get

32
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 2: down to the heart of the matter. Because I hear

33
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: the word storytelling, you know, storytelling and the era of

34
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 2: the pandemic and the financial crisis Black people and the

35
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: financial gap is getting further and further apart. What is

36
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 2: HBCUs finally being recognized for their contribution? That's the one

37
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: positive thing has come out of twenty twenty. What do

38
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: you say storytelling?

39
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 3: Do you?

40
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: What do you mean when you say that?

41
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: Absolutely so. The way in which we tell story is

42
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: about who it is that we are and how we

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 3: contribute specifically to society matters right. For too long we've

44
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: seen innovation and genius only look like one archetype. Right.

45
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 3: We talk about the Bill Gates, the Mark Zuckerberg's, we

46
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 3: talk about the Elon Musks, but you rarely see the

47
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 3: conversations about folks that come from communities that look like

48
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: ours being genius and what they've produced and created and

49
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 3: what they also lead within their communities and how that

50
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: particular impact is really changing the paradigm for so many

51
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: of us. And so I have the privilege through the Plug,

52
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: which is a digital subscription based in insights news platform,

53
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 3: we cover the black innovation economy across the country. And

54
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 3: this year we have the privilege receiving a grant from

55
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 3: the Lympus Institute and some community partners to work in

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: collaboration with Word Radio in Philadelphia to cover what does

57
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,399
Speaker 3: black and brown innovation look like on the ground, especially

58
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 3: amid such a tumultuous time as COVID nineteen. And we

59
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: know that black businesses disproportionately have been the most affected,

60
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: just as black people have from a healthcare standpoint. And

61
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 3: so as we look at the storytelling conversation ensuring that

62
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 3: we are covering the highs and the lows of this

63
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: and how it affects our communities is super super critical

64
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 3: right now, and also as we look toward a new

65
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: year with you know, new administration and new needs from

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 3: a policy perspective.

67
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: You know, it's really interesting because the names you mentioned earlier,

68
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: you know, Eli Musk and Zuckenberg and Bill gateswell the

69
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: top five richest people in the world. And I look

70
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: at insight and information sometimes I think black news has

71
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: been diversified, or maybe it's not as clean as it

72
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: was when I was growing I grew up in Jet magazine.

73
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: I grew up on the ebony, you know, and so

74
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 2: this is truly you know, the black storytelling. You know,

75
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 2: they told us who the Black Tops ten songs, Black

76
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: ten Top ten TV shows? I knew everything. And so

77
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: is there is diversity too much? Or do we need

78
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: to get narrow the information based sometimes to be able

79
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: to get the true information and success stories of Black Americans.

80
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 3: I think that we need nuance in all cases and

81
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 3: places and spaces. You know, black folks are not a monolith.

82
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: I think we share so many similar challenges because you know,

83
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: good old fashioned American history has shown us some of

84
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: the tools and tactics that have been used against us.

85
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: Whether it was redlining our communities, right, not providing adequate

86
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: transportation options or food access options. A lot of our cities,

87
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 3: from you know, Seattle, you know, where I'm from originally,

88
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 3: to you know, Kansas City, to you know, Tallahassee, Florida.

89
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 3: I mean, we've all experienced the same levels of what

90
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: systemic racism has done to our communities, our schools, our

91
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: healthcare centers, all of those things. And so we have

92
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 3: that shared experience of what you know, discriminatory systems have

93
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 3: done to limit genius and limit innovation. But when we

94
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 3: look very closely, we still see that there are so

95
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 3: many great pockets of genius and people who have survived

96
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 3: from the worst of the atrocities of American racism, and

97
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 3: that place such a tremendous factor in terms of where

98
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: we are today, particularly as we are battling, you know,

99
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 3: one of the most distinctive moments in our time from

100
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 3: a public health standpoint, and then also from an economic

101
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 3: one as well, you know, And you know, a decade ago,

102
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 3: I was graduating from college in the height of a recession,

103
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 3: you know. And now when we look at home ownership

104
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 3: rates amongst black folks in this country, we see a

105
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 3: tremendous decline. We see the shift in the growth of

106
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 3: the racial of the racial wealth gap in terms of

107
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 3: you know, things really moving backwards. And so I love

108
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 3: to talk about what innovation looks like in our communities

109
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: and the opportunities that exist, be that making investments in

110
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 3: entrepreneurs who are building high growth tech companies and the

111
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: companies that are going to drive the future. I think that,

112
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 3: you know, there's just plenty of opportunity here to take

113
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: a look at all the dimensions in which black and

114
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 3: brown folks live and work and play and finding ways

115
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: to help people connect the dots and synthesize. Here are

116
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: the movers and the shakers. Here are the opportunities that

117
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: we are really examining from a city by cities perspective,

118
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 3: to also ensure that, okay, are black and brown folks

119
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 3: and the majority as they call majority minority city getting

120
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 3: their fair share of support considering all of the other

121
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 3: challenges that are up against us.

122
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 2: Why did you choose the city of Philadelphia?

123
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 3: Philadelphia for a number of reasons. This is a super

124
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: interesting city to me. I have family there. My family

125
00:06:58,720 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 3: really originates out of.

126
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: You stayed Seattle earlier. Now you're in Atlanta and now

127
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: in Philadelphia. So you got the coast in the South lockdown.

128
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I've got a lockdown. I got locked down.

129
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: My grandparents left the South, moved to Detroit, you know,

130
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 3: in the fifties and sixties, and my grandfather ended up

131
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 3: going to Boeing in the seventies. He got recruited to

132
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 3: go work for Boeing. So most black folks that ended

133
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 3: up in Seattle got there because of companies like Boeing.

134
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 3: And so that's my grandfather. You know. My grandfather left Detroit,

135
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 3: you know, after he came back from the military, and

136
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: that's how that's how he ended up in Seattle. And

137
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: his sister went over to Philadelphia, got married and moved

138
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,239
Speaker 3: to Philadelphia. So I grew up going back and forth

139
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 3: to those cities, but having such a deep, rich history,

140
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: and Philadelphia is one of the top rising tuck hubs

141
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: in the country. It's also one of the majority black

142
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: right in the state of Pennsylvania, highly populated with black

143
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 3: and LATINX people and communities who are solely starting to

144
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: be pushed out right of the very city that that

145
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: decided not to make the necessary investments to ensure that

146
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 3: these crap of folks got to participate in what we

147
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: call the innovation economy, so really preparing people for the

148
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: jobs of the future, which are driven by things like

149
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, the kind of things like

150
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 3: when we go to the grocery store and you don't

151
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 3: have to go to the checkout person, you can go

152
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: right over there to the machine, those kinds of things.

153
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 3: You know, we we over indexes of people in service

154
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 3: based businesses. So when we look at places like cities,

155
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 3: cities like Philadelphia where you know, investors and developers come

156
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: in and buy the blocks and you know transform you know,

157
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 3: a community overnight into you know, very expensive housing. We've

158
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: seen that story all across America, but we wanted to

159
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 3: make sure as Philadelphia was starting to face its own

160
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: economic changes, we really were taking you look at, Okay,

161
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: what is the city doing to prepare these groups of

162
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 3: residents and citizens who have been there for generations. What

163
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 3: are they doing to help ensure that these folks also

164
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: get an opportunity to get investment. We see the Google

165
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: Google for startups having invested in two companies, you know,

166
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 3: black owned tech companies in the city of Philadelphia. You know,

167
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 3: we're seeing you know, some of the administration really focus

168
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 3: on workforce opportunities within the tech space. So I think

169
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 3: it's just an interesting case study. I have just ties

170
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 3: to the city the people itself. I have family there

171
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: that are still in North Philly, West Philly, in Germantown,

172
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: and so I think that that city, that Philadelphia truly

173
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 3: is a microcosm of the rest of America.

174
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, in October fifth, the partnership incorporate the Plug

175
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 2: hosting a bi monthly segment on Word every other Monday,

176
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 2: tell us about that.

177
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 3: So we get an opportunity to talk about some of

178
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 3: the reporting that we've done, particularly within the city of Philadelphia.

179
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: And so we have one of the great things that

180
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: the grant allowed us to do, also find a local

181
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 3: reporting fellow. So we have Hadriana low and Creme, who

182
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: happens to be an undergrad at the University of Pennsylvania,

183
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: and she's on the ground really really creating some incredible

184
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,840
Speaker 3: reporting stories. One of her latest pieces was on how

185
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 3: a crowdfunding campaign that was created by black doctors who

186
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: developed a consortium to provide access to COVID testing for

187
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: black Philadelphians. It was an incredible piece that she did.

188
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: So we go on live every other Monday with Word

189
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: to talk through these pieces and these discoveries of what's

190
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 3: going on in the community and to talk about how

191
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 3: does that fit into the scope of innovation and opportunity

192
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 3: within the city. And so it's just been an incredible

193
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: way for us to go from you know, hey, where

194
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 3: here's a you know, a thousand words to read on

00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 3: want to get a glimpse of what's going on from

199
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,200

235
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: Well really interesting because what I'm here and now is

236
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: your version of what I grew up with Black Enterprise

237
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: Ebony Jet Magazine from a technical standpoint. In the words,

238
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 2: you're finding where you can get the truth. You know

239
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 2: you can hear about black, black leaders, black financiers, because

240
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 2: right now the general media just wants to tell us

241
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 2: about athletes who make a lot of money. Who want

242
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: tell us about entertainers that will make a lot of

243
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 2: money box office success. But when you're talking about it,

244
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: like you said, you was able to rattle off the

245
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: top five financially successful of men in the world, I

246
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: don't know who the top five financially successful African Americans

247
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: in the world. I should be able to rattle that off,

248
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: and I feel that's what I would get from you.

249
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: What you're what you're doing with the word and the

250
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: plug is be able to provide it a home for

251
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: that information and also create conversation. That's where you get

252
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: the insights from.

253
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: Correct, Absolutely absolutely, and I think overall, you know, when

254
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 3: it comes to data capture of black folks, a lot

255
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:58,080
Speaker 3: of the conversations have been somewhat dismal. Right, it's about

256
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 3: lack and disparity and deficit.

257
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 2: You know.

258
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 3: The reality is this, We know that we are severely

259
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: underfunded and under resource compared to our white counterparts, right,

260
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 3: they got a four hundred year head start, right, And

261
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 3: so for us to leverage statistics solely based on our

262
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 3: relationship to whiteness, I think is the quickest way for

263
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: us to lose imagination about the capabilities of black and

264
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 3: brown people. And so the way in which you know

265
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 3: the plug and even through our project with work, our

266
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: question isn't to ask what isn't it to ask what

267
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 3: is where does the opportunity happen that allows us to

268
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 3: help train, upskill, reskill and provide guidance, you know, to

269
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: those who want to create and build a better future,

270
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 3: particularly for people and within communities that look like them.

271
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 3: And so I think overall we have to really think

272
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: through our media again and what is the purpose and

273
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: what is the context. You know, you mentioned the early

274
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 3: publishing days of some of the black media publishers, you know,

275
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 3: Chicago being in that hub. Kind of on a side note,

276
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: you know, we did a podcast series called the Clark

277
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: Street Project, right, really really taking a look at you know,

278
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 3: looking at the associated Negro press, right and and sort

279
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 3: of those early black journalists who are covering our communities

280
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 3: and providing nuance what the black experience really looks like

281
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: in America. And that is so significant in that concept

282
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 3: of storytelling what she alluded to earlier. Oh.

283
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm happy that you see then, I'm happy to

284
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 2: see that they're from a technical standpoint. Well, you know,

285
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 2: the thing about it is that Black enterprise is doing

286
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: a great job rolling out these magazines. But somehow, you know,

287
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: they hit a wall, They hit a wall of being

288
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: able to reach a certain demographic from a social standpoint

289
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: where you're providing information that I think is like you know,

290
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: when you feed a baby, you kind of like take

291
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: the little spoon. You don't give a big old tablespoon

292
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: of food to a baby. You give it to them.

293
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 2: They sample and they come back for more. And that's

294
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 2: what I feel that your platform is is a great

295
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: sampling platform. And once you get there, you want more

296
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: information because you provide the information, which in turn gives

297
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: us an insight to be successful. Because I always tell people,

298
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 2: if you don't know your story, that's where the storytelling

299
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: comes from. If you don't know your story, or go

300
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 2: to a place where somebody's telling your story accurately and consistently,

301
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 2: then it's what you don't get your story. You get

302
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: a partial rendering of what they want you to hear.

303
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: You know, words the timeline eventually push your story out

304
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 2: of the headlines, and that's what you're not doing.

305
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: Correct absolutely, And at the end of the day, you know,

306
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 3: I'm going to trained data journalist and computational data journalists

307
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 3: and you know what I love about word is working

308
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 3: with a talented group of media players. You know, you

309
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 3: know Sarah Lomax res is also we both are two

310
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: women that graduated from Columbia Journalism School. Right black women running,

311
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 3: you know, media publications that are significantly focused on the

312
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 3: Black experience and elevating our opportunities within the spaces that

313
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 3: are that are controlling the world. Right technology, especially now

314
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: we've accelerated in technology and work from home and future

315
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 3: of work, you know, the kind of the jobs of

316
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 3: the future are here now, right, And so you know,

317
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 3: when I look at that, I believe that media's job,

318
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 3: especially Black media's job, is to help us along the way.

319
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 3: You know, if I'm honest, I feel that, you know,

320
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 3: I feel that our media didn't give us the necessary

321
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 3: language to keep moving forward and to find the opportunities

322
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 3: to get us in this space. I think in some

323
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 3: instances we confused, you know, we confused the ability to

324
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 3: profile people's businesses as entertainment instead of instruction. Right when

325
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,639
Speaker 3: I think about the case studies and the knowledge needed

326
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 3: to really build out a strong and sustainable company, I

327
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 3: don't think that we guide it the way in the

328
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 3: way that we needed to for the kind of future

329
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 3: that was coming, you know. And I can't speak to

330
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 3: other publications and sort of what resources they have, but

331
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 3: I do know that running a black media publication is

332
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 3: a challenge. I know that. You know, advertising revenue has

333
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 3: largely been eaten up by social media and social media platforms,

334
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: and so the distinctive thing about the Plug is we've

335
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,479
Speaker 3: been revenue focused from day one, you know, having a

336
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 3: subscription base where we do have a free weekly briefing

337
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 3: and then for premium tier subscriptions to some of our

338
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 3: exclusive content, you know, we're able to have more paid

339
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 3: version and really attract a group of professionals and executives

340
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 3: that really look to us for guidance on how should

341
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 3: we be making business decisions as it relates to ensuring

342
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: an inclusive and diverse workforce and community. And so I

343
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 3: think it's just a hard business and I think that

344
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 3: you know, in order to continue to evolve, we have

345
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 3: to be hyper tuned into what the data is telling

346
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 3: us and using the data to really drive the way

347
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,479
Speaker 3: that we tell our stories and the way that we

348
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: inform our public and really help equip the decision makers

349
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 3: with the resources they need to make better decisions on

350
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 3: behalf of our communities.

351
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 2: Well, you I love your tone first of all here

352
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 2: you are a storyteller yourself. Yeah, that you have a

353
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: very very casual, very easygoing, fact based information that comes

354
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 2: out of this to articulate on a daily basis. That's

355
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 2: why I can appreciate. I was kind of confused about

356
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 2: the storytelling earlier, but I clearly see it now because

357
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 2: of the fact that my life and what the information

358
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: I'm able to share you share what you is based

359
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 2: on a resource that I had growing up that somewhere

360
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 2: along the line I thought got lost when rap music

361
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: came out and that became our storytelling was rap music,

362
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 2: There was our future storytelling. But somehow along the line,

363
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: technology has to be we have to gain control of

364
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: that technology because that's where everything's being disseminated, Like you said,

365
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 2: social media through the digital platforms, and now you're creating

366
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 2: a platform that allows us to be a part of it.

367
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 2: Tell us about that platform and how can we participate.

380
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 3: kind of companies that are being built. You know, technology

00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 3: is accessible, we just you know, we try to slow

382
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,320

Speaker 3: So it comes to you as a as a newsletter

395
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: right to your email. So you're opening up your email,

396
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 3: you're just you're reading the information. There's a note for

397
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: myself or my managing editor, and we we you know,

398
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 3: we we detail here's what we're reading, here's what you

399
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 3: should be reading. Here are the most significant pieces of

400
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 3: the news in terms of black tech news. And it

401
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 3: just comes to your to your email inbox. It's just

402
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:22,719
Speaker 3: that simple.

403
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 2: Well, guess what Rashawn McDonald's going to sign up because

404
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 2: we're talking because there's information that I know. I'm gonna

405
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 2: telling you that I read my LinkedIn, I read my

406
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 2: Houston Chronicles, I'm from Houston, chach my AJAC. So I

407
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 2: have not been able to find a platform which I

408
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: feel is much more you know, different radio formats I

409
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 2: go to I red blackened for but this is a

410
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 2: little bit different. I think this is socially tech friendly,

411
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 2: So socially friendly, and that also allows me to appeal

412
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 2: to the general population. You know, if I go to

413
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 2: if I go to Essence, that's female centric, okay, and

414
00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 2: uh and and so I know that Jemmac really doesn't

415
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 2: exist like I used to exist. And you know, the

416
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 2: voice of Ebony is not what it was previously. So

417
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 2: you're creating a new voice and a very powerful war

418
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 2: from a technoal standpoint. And you've accepted the fact that, hey,

419
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: we're going to deliver information to you every Monday. If

420

Speaker 2: you information about who your potential base is.

423
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 3: Correct the insights, Yeah, absolutely, And we're scraping industry data,

424
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:36,120
Speaker 3: private information data, public data to really deliver interesting insights

425
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 3: on on business growth, on opportunity growth, what have you.

426
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 3: So there's a lot there and it's such a great

427
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: entry point to just go to TP insights dot com,

428
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 3: subscribe to the newsletter, just start there. It's really simple.

429
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 2: Well I will start there. My friend. I'm talking to

430
00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: Sarrel Dorsey. She byway of you know, grandparents went to Detroit,

431
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 2: went Old Seattle, then the other system went to the Philadelphia,

432
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 2: the you know, the grand faulty and over to Yeah.

433
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: This she's landed in Atlanta, Georgia with me. She's reconnected

434
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: with the people in Philadelphia, which is as they said,

435
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,920
Speaker 2: a high Black African American population is in Philadelphia and

436
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 2: the state of Pennsylvania. I have been there many times. That

437
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 2: whole Eastern Cardigor is heavy with African American faces and

438
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 2: places to do and participate in. But more importantly, it's

439
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: your voice. You're the CEO of the Plug, a digital

440
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: news and insight platform for black economy and innovation. Any

441
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: any parting words about this great platform because you you

442
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: moved me forward. I'm really genuinely excited because I reference

443
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: my age.

444
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 3: Excited for Sean, because as soon as you start saying

445
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 3: Jedd and ebony. I mean, that's still are some hard

446
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 3: shoes to feel, but.

447
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 2: That's the right shoes to feel. Because the reason I

448
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 2: say this is that I always I talk to a

449
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: lot of people. I'm always I just I just feed

450
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 2: on information, you know, my minor sociology. I've always I'm

451
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,239
Speaker 2: into entertainment. I try to be topical. I always tell

452
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,880
Speaker 2: people you can't be young, but you can't be topical,

453
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: which you mean you can't be relevant, you can't be current.

454
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 2: And you're telling me that I have a platform now

455
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: that it can be delivered to my part of my

456
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 2: mantra all money. I get it four o'clock in the morning.

457
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: What time does the newsletter usually hit your mailbox?

458
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 3: We usually have it out by one o'clock in the afternoon.

459
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: So it'll be part of my afternoon information base, which

460
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 2: or I may move it to my four am because

461
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 2: at four am. I get up every day at four am,

462
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 2: so it'll be part of my four am reading right

463
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 2: before I read my Houston Chronicle. And then I'll be

464
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 2: I'll be learning things. And can we comment? Can we

465
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 2: give you feedback on different things? Can you question?

466
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 3: Can a hit reply to the newsletter? And that goes

467
