1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:04,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to focus more on being wealthy than being rich. 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: So I look at riches, is you got a lot 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: of money. Yeah, when you're wealthy, you have time. And 4 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: so even now I'm still trying to adjust to it, 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,320 Speaker 1: right because business is still able to function. I have 6 00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: my team on, my employees that are there every day, 7 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: they working, but I still want to be there, right. 8 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: This is the rich in me still wants to do 9 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: the work versus allowing the team to do the work. 10 00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: And so in our culture, I feel like we emphasize 11 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: grinding so much that we want to work until we die. 12 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm saying. 13 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: Well, I might look at different culture. They are playing golf, 14 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, I ain't worried about 15 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: some of the stuff we worried about. And so I'm 16 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: trying to adjust still to this day, to being able 17 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: to be wealthy, being able to trust the team, and 18 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 1: then relaxed. I feel uncomfortable sometime watching TV. 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,880 Speaker 3: Everybody, Welcome to another episode of Button Nomics.

It's allowed me 68 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: to take it more seriously and cherish it more. 69 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, man. 70 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 3: And you know what's interesting too, is, like you said, 71 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: you looking at stuff a little bit differently. Now, you know, 72 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 3: you just came out with this new project called Couch Potatoes. 73 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 3: So it's even interesting to see how, you know, you 74 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 3: build it off of that, you know, setback and like 75 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: making it not like a comeback, but you're making something 76 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 3: out of it, right. 77 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 2: Right, right right? 78 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: So yeah, I recorded a whole project on my couch. 79 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: It's called couch Potato. When I got injured, man, I 80 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 1: was in the hospital for like two and a half weeks, 81 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: and so writing music was just so. 82 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,359 Speaker 2: Hard to do during that time. 83 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: Even when I got out, I was just still trying 84 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: to make sense of everything that was going on. And 85 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: so I was like, you know what, when I finally 86 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: got a chance to record, I started writing on the 87 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: couch in the living room, writing on the couch, crying, 88 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 1: you know, writing about my real experiences. Yeah, and so 89 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: I couldn't make it to the studio. So I brought 90 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: the studio to me and it was just a dope experience. 91 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: You know. 92 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: One of my homies, Joe shout out to Joe helping 93 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: me name the project. I wanted it to be something 94 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: more serious, you know what I mean, But he was like, nah, man, 95 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: I think you should like have fun with it. 96 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: A little bit. 97 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: So that's how I came up with couch Potato, And 98 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: like I said, everything was recorded on the couch. I'm 99 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,360 Speaker 1: loving the project. I've been getting real good feedback from it. 100 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: That is like one of my best projects that I 101 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: ever dropped. 102 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, man, hey man, look we saw what happened to 103 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,599 Speaker 3: two chains when he was in that wheelchair for a minute. 104 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 3: So again, man, this could be one of those interesting 105 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 3: inflection points. You never know exactly how it's gonna happen. 106 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 3: And most importantly, though, we glad you you healthy and everything, 107 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 3: but I think again to see you like building something 108 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 3: positive out this whole experience. This was probably the most 109 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: motivational thing. Have you got like a lot of good 110 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 3: feedback around that. 111 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been getting a lot of good feedback just 112 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: from continuing, you know, to move forward and push forward 113 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: just in general. And I've had to adjust my mind 114 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: frame because I'm so production driven. I always want to 115 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: be productive every day. I still made to do list 116 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: today even though I can't walk, you know what I'm saying. 117 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: But I'm also having to realize that you know, you 118 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: go through seasons in life, you know, for me, this 119 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: season is about inspiring people through what I'm going through, 120 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: and so sometimes the measuring stick is different than it 121 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: would have been before. Whereas before I would always measure 122 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: how productive I am by what I did during the 123 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: day or what I was able to accomplish. But with 124 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,599 Speaker 1: what I'm going through now, I'm always inspiring people. Even 125 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 1: if I'm not accomplishing more than everybody is, I'm still 126 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: inspiring a lot of people through what I'm going through, 127 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: you know, people seeing me in person, people seeing my spirit, 128 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: my attitude, people seeing me online, different things I'm saying, 129 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: different places I'm at. You know, it's like I'm still 130 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: accomplishing or still living out my purpose. 131 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: And you know what I got going on? Na, That's dope, man. 132 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: So again, I'm sure people know, but for those that 133 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 3: don't know, you know, Scotty also is the owner of 134 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 3: the world famous Grills by Scotty.

And it's funny because 159 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 1: before this experience happened, I keep talking about how much 160 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,680 Speaker 1: I wanted to focus more on being wealthy than being rich. 161 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: You know, so I look at riches just you got 162 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: a lot of money. Yeah, when you're wealthy, you have time. 163 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: And so even now I'm still trying to adjust to it, right, 164 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: because business is still able to function. I have my 165 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: team on, my employees that are there every day, they 166 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: working both coasts, but I still want to be there, right. 167 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: This is the rich in me still wants to do 168 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: the work versus allowing the team to do the work. 169 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: And so in our coach, I feel like we focus, 170 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: so we emphasize grinding so much that we want to 171 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: work until we die. 172 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I'm saying. Well, I might look 173 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:44,239 Speaker 2: at different culture. 174 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: They are playing golf, you know what I'm saying, Like, 175 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,679 Speaker 1: I ain't worried about some of the stuff we worried about, 176 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: and so I'm trying to adjust still to this day, 177 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 1: to being able to be wealthy, being able to. 178 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: Trust the team and then relax. 179 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: I feel uncomfortable sometime watching TV, you know what I'm saying, 180 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: because I want to do the work that's makes me 181 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: feel productive. Yeah, but it's been a real interesting process 182 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: just adjusting my mind, adjusting my daily activities, my schedule, 183 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: and being able to be more comfortable just trusting and 184 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: relying on others. 185 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's that whole challenge I think a 186 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 3: lot of entrepreneurs go through, right of Like do you 187 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 3: want to work on the business or in the business, right, 188 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 3: And I think a lot of people will get trapped 189 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 3: into work and in the business. Yeah, And the problem 190 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 3: with that is that you know, when you step away, 191 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 3: you can't do it. The business stops. So you know, 192 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 3: first of all, congratulations that even when you had this 193 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 3: experience and you weren't able to be there, things were 194 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 3: able to keep running cause you had already kind of 195 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 3: start putting some of those things in place, like you 196 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 3: already started thinking about it from an ownership of a 197 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 3: wealth standpoint, like you kind of talk about you know, 198 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: now you're get a chance to kind of work on 199 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 3: the business more, right, So you're probably plus you're probably 200 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 3: see stuff a little bit more like fresh eyes, right, 201 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 3: you feel like a little bit away from it. You're like, 202 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 3: you know what, like when I was kind of in 203 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 3: the weeds and in it, I ain't really notice this, 204 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 3: But like now that I'm kind of you know, a 205 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,599 Speaker 3: thousand feet away, ten thousand feet up, I'm kind of 206 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 3: seeing stuff different. 207 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 2: Have you had that experience? 208 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, now it's allowed me to focus on, like 209 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: you said, working on the business a lot more. Yeah, 210 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: So I'm working on expanding, I'm working on processes. 211 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 2: I'm working on just making sure the overall experience is right. 212 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: I think for a minute, when we went so ester 213 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: Ray came and really just broke the whole. 214 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 2: System, right, That's what usually happens, you know. You know 215 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 2: what I'm saying. 216 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: When she got her grill, we had infrastructure, but I 217 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: wasn't really prepared to take on the client like Easter Ray, 218 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 1: because when she posted what she did about the customer 219 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: service being so great, my lines were flooded, my dms 220 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 1: were flooded, everything was flooded. So we had all these 221 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: different people who came and got grills, and then we 222 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: had an overload. So all of this has allowed me 223 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: now to kind of, like you said, step back and 224 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: work on how can I be the biggest I could 225 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: possibly be for myself, not just in the grill game, 226 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: but as a business in general. I don't like leaning 227 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: on black business per se. I like being just a 228 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: good business, you know. And so this has allowed me 229 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: to see things in a different light, like, Okay, if 230 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: I want ten of these stores, what do I need 231 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 1: to do different to survive and to thrive at the 232 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: highest level? 233 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, and so who do you work with? 234 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 3: Like when you're kind of going through those, you know, 235 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 3: when you're trying to kind of figure that stuff out. Right, 236 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 3: do you work with you know, consultants, do you have 237 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 3: you know, people like mentors, people that you reach out to, like, 238 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 3: how do you think through what it takes to kind 239 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 3: of go from two locations to ten locations and beyond. 240 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: I have a few friends that I can you know, 241 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: call that time. Me and you have had conversations about, 242 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: you know, expanding. Charles, who you introduced me to? You 243 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: know what I mean, it's somebody that I hit up 244 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 1: every now and then my boy Lamont yeaheah. It's like, 245 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: you know, I don't have the biggest business circle. But 246 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: then I also now I'm talking to people that Charles have. 247 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 2: Linked me up with over at Rice.

I was just hustling. Yeah, 253 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: as you know, coming from like being the street hustler. Like, man, 254 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna get to it. I missed out on 255 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: all community resources, just trying to build a business at first. 256 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 3: Yeah't an interesting man like you to your point, like 257 00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 3: once you kind of get tapped in, like there's a 258 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 3: whole different circle of just people and conversations. A lot 259 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 3: of times, yeah, we get so caught up in just 260 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 3: the hustle you don't realize like there's people out here 261 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 3: with you know, it's other people's money that you can 262 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 3: use to build this stuff. It's other people's knowledge you 263 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 3: can use to build this stuff. Like what's been your 264 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 3: most surprising things? You've learned to kind of like work 265 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: with some of these other people that you probably wouldn't 266 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 3: necessarily have tapped into. 267 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 2: On the other side, I think. 268 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: One of the things that I've learned the most is 269 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: that there are resources out there for anything you want 270 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,839 Speaker 1: to do. You know, if it's getting money, if it's 271 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: just knowledge, like you're saying, being able to tap in, 272 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: it's so powerful because you know, from the start of it, 273 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: I was doing a lot of it on my own. 274 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,600 Speaker 1: I wasn't even I was just clueless that there were 275 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: even resources out there that. 276 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 2: Could help me. 277 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I felt like, again, there's 278 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: different seasons you know that should go through in life, 279 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: and so I feel like during those times it was 280 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 1: time for me to grind and hustle the way that 281 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: I did to have something to you know, show or 282 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 1: present when it was time like it is now. So 283 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 1: I'm grateful for all of it, you know, But I 284 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: do feel like I've learned so much just from the 285 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: investing Atlantas, from the rices, you know, right specifically now 286 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,439 Speaker 1: talking to them about learning how they expand proper believe. 287 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:06,319 Speaker 2: Yeah. Dennis McKinley another yeah, yeah, you know, helping. 288 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: Me understand that, Like, entrepreneurship is great, but managing systems 289 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: is a lot better in some cases. Yeah, you know, 290 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: because everybody's running and trying to be an entrepreneur when 291 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: it takes so much. People don't really understand the amount 292 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: of work behind entrepreneurship, creating a business something that people 293 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 1: actually want and need on an everyday basis, and then 294 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: what you need to do after you've done all that 295 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,200 Speaker 1: to expand it. A lot of times we're keeping our 296 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: head down working in the business and never putting our 297 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 1: head up to see the world that is there and 298 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: how to keep that business going once you created it. 299 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean to your point, right, like it's you know, 300 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 3: like people don't scale well. Systems scale well like people 301 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 3: don't fail, you know, I mean people fail, systems don't. 302 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 3: And so putting those systems in processes in place, even 303 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 3: on the simple stuff, right and like an order comes in, 304 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 3: this is how we're going to take an order in, right, 305 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 3: And that way, it's not getting done at different time 306 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,440 Speaker 3: every time somebody places it, and people are feeling a 307 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 3: consistent kind of customer spell. It's all these little things 308 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 3: that you know, once you kind of get out the 309 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 3: hustle mode element of business, you start thinking about, all, right, now, 310 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 3: how do I really make this thing, you know, be 311 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 3: able to replicate it, be able to scale it, and 312 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 3: most importantly not let it stressed me to hell out 313 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 3: exactly because everybody calling me. 314 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 2: And it has stressed me out. 315 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: You know. At one point there's been times in doing 316 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: this that I felt like, man, I was gonna lose 317 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: it all, you know. And I think that's another good 318 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: lesson that I've learned, is that you just got to 319 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: keep going no matter what. 320 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 2: Now, when I do. 321 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: My research on other businesses, and just like successful business owners, 322 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: I noticed that they've all had these glimpses where it 323 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 1: seemed like at that time it was gonna all crash, 324 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: but they kept going and it ended up being more 325 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 1: successful than they thought it was going to be. And 326 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: so I try to keep that in mind too as 327 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: I'm going through this process because I'm not where I 328 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: want to be. I'm doing well, but I see myself 329 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: as being able to really expand this beyond anything that 330 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: the grill culture has ever seen. 331 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, but what does that look like? 332 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 4: Like? 333 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 2: How do you expand this? Is? 334 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 3: Again, like you know grill I mean, I would definitely 335 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 3: say man like you and a couple other folks. I 336 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 3: think when people think about grills in general, you know, 337 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 3: you probably you know in the top, you know, a 338 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 3: couple of names that come off the top of their head, right, 339 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 3: But like, what do you think the evolution that kind 340 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 3: of starts to look like over time? 341 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, now we are all I've 342 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: literally seen the evolution with my own eyes as I've 343 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: been doing it. 344 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 2: You know. 345 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: So I've been making grills for ten years. I've had 346 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: my own store for five years. When I got into it, Like, 347 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: the people that I saw were Paul Wall, Johnny Dain 348 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: Eddies were two of the biggest names that I've seen 349 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: in the grill industry. I love doctor Jefferies, right, he's 350 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: in Atlanta legend, you know what I'm saying. 351 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 2: But they took it so far. 352 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: It's really been almost every twenty years that it's been 353 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: somebody different. So since I've started, I've seen companies like 354 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: Nike get involved with grills, Puma, like I said, the 355 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,200 Speaker 1: Atlanta Hawks, We've been associated with the Falcons. We've done 356 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: commercials with Carmacs. It's becoming a lot more acceptable in 357 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: today's world, like tattoos, where at one point you couldn't 358 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,720 Speaker 1: have tattoos and get a good job. 359 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 2: They would turn you away. You know. 360 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: Now you could have tattoos on your neck, your face, 361 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: it don't matter, you know. I see people, man, I 362 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: was at the restaurant last night. It was an old lady, 363 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: she had to be sixty somethings. She got tattoos all 364 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:49,480 Speaker 1: on her arm, you know. So now gold teeth are 365 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: becoming more of an expression that is acceptable in the 366 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 1: workplace too, And that's one of the ways that it 367 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: has already evolved. The Olympics was another example, wearing it 368 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: on the red carpet. So many different things that I 369 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:09,719 Speaker 1: think it's going to become even more like just wildly 370 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: available for people. 371 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:12,919 Speaker 2: And just you know, how did you get in the 372 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,159 Speaker 2: grill business in the first place. 373 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: A friend of mine wanted to do grills. I was 374 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 1: leaving the grill shop. This guy wanted me to help 375 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,040 Speaker 1: him out. I always loved to do marketing, always been 376 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 1: involving that kind of stuff since I was a kid. 377 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 2: I had My first brand was Cool Club. 378 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, well I had t shirts and sweaters and hoodies 379 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 1: that people were rocking all the time. And so I 380 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: was doing tours and whatnot, going on tour. I was 381 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:42,200 Speaker 1: on tour with Bob Ace hood big boy. This god 382 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: saw what I was doing. He said, man, come and 383 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: check out my grill shop. I checked it out. After 384 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: leaving his grill shop, I went to the strip club 385 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: in the daytime. Ran into my homeboy and he had 386 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 1: just lost his job. He was a dinner assistant and 387 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: I said, man, what you gonna do now? He said, 388 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: I want to do grills. I said, we can go 389 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: up here right now. I just left this dude, and 390 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: we did. And that's how I got started. 391 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 3: But how do you start like you couldn't talk to 392 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 3: the guy like they became your supplier. You bought them 393 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 3: out like no. 394 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: When I first when I went and talked to the guy, 395 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: I introduced it to them. Initially, when I started out, 396 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: I was just gonna do the business part to it. 397 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay, I put the contrast together. I'm 398 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: like talking through different marketing ideas. I started getting this 399 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: on the radio. We will go and do radio grills 400 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: with Jay Nixon the Dirty Boys Live on the air. 401 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: Then I'd be at Streets ninety four or five. I 402 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: start just really getting it to a lot of my 403 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:44,720 Speaker 1: celebrity friends, Rich Homi Kwan, Trouble Jah Quez, and then 404 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 1: we started learning how to make the grills from this guy. 405 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: His name was Paul, and so he taught us how 406 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: to do it. I really wasn't even even interested in 407 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 1: all of that. I just wanted to do the business part. 408 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: But I figured, like, I need to learn all of 409 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 1: this just in case, you know, somebody try to screw me. 410 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: I understand what's going on, how to do it, et. 411 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 2: Cetera, et cetera. 412 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: And so that's how I got started, you know, from 413 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 1: the beginning. Then it didn't work out with him, so 414 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: me and me and my homie took the knowledge and 415 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,479 Speaker 1: then we started being like, Okay, we can get different 416 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: teams to help us, because doing the grills takes so 417 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: much work and it takes so long. Let's put together 418 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 1: a different team that maybe can do this while we 419 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: get out in the streets and work it. 420 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 2: And so I did that. 421 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 1: For a while, and then me and my homie fell out, 422 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: and then I was back in the saddle of making 423 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,880 Speaker 1: the grills. And then I had me and one other 424 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: guy was a Korean guy that I was working with, 425 00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: and so that's you know, it's only and on and on, 426 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 1: but that's how I got into it. 427 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 2: How do you balance all that with the music? 428 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, Because you're entrepreneur, you're artists, 429 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 3: you know, how do you you balance all these things 430 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 3: you do? And how do you find inspiration for the 431 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 3: kind of music you make? 432 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: You know? How does that all tie in? 433 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: I feel like the music and the grills go hand 434 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: in hand. It's like a seesaw almost. The music opened 435 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: the door for me to be able to have so 436 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: many relationships and do grills and for people to be 437 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: able to trust me from what. 438 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,520 Speaker 2: I've done with the Cool Club brand. 439 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: Music wise, people have worked with me, so they know Okay, 440 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: this is a calible person I'm dealing with when it 441 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 1: comes to doing grills. So I do the music now 442 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 1: more like spare time. The grills. It takes presidents, and 443 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,879 Speaker 1: I do that every day like a nine to five job. 444 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: But when I first started doing the grills, I remember 445 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 1: just thinking like, man, you know, I just want to 446 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,359 Speaker 1: make money every day. We may have a grill or 447 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 1: two a week, you know, during that time, but I 448 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 1: just kept thinking, Okay, let me try to just make 449 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,880 Speaker 1: a little money every day. And that started out twenty 450 00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: five dollars, fifty dollars, you know, like what can I 451 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 1: make every day? And the mindset changed because at first 452 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,880 Speaker 1: I was so focused on just being creative as an 453 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: artist that I wasn't focused on the money. I thought, 454 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: like most artists think, the more you in the studio, 455 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,119 Speaker 1: the more money you'll make, which is not necessarily true. 456 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:21,360 Speaker 2: No, man, that's dope. Man. 457 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 3: So you've evolved in that you're doing more of the 458 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 3: music stuff now. But like, how is Atlanta and being 459 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 3: from Atlanta and being from the East Side all these 460 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 3: like how does this stuff influence? 461 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 4: You know? 462 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 3: I mean, hell, it's your name, right, Scotty atl right right? 463 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 3: How does that influence you and what motivates you around 464 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 3: that stuff? 465 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: Being from Atlanta is one of the biggest motivators because 466 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: this is like the city of grind and hustle. You 467 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,879 Speaker 1: from Atlanta, like, you can feel the energy when you 468 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: I lived in La for like two years when we 469 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: were like working in the Mailroad's location. 470 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's so laid back, it's so chill. I 471 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 2: love it. Don't get me wrong. Now I love La. Like, 472 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 2: go to La, you don't want to leave. 473 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: It's the truth, right, But when you come back to Atlanta, 474 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: as soon as you get off the plane, you could 475 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: feel the atmosphere is different. Everybody's trying to sell something. 476 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: Everybody's got a hustle. Everybody hey hey, hey hey. It's 477 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: like almost like New York but in the South. You 478 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. It used to be saying that 479 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: if you can make it in New York, you can 480 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: make it anywhere. And I feel like, now that's Atlanta. 481 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 1: If you can make it in Atlanta, you can make 482 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 1: it anywhere. But the grind and the culture, I mean, man, 483 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: we had to stop. Like you know, the other day, 484 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: I'm watching the guy throw up. Oh he's juggling at 485 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: the light. You know what I'm saying, to prove nowing 486 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,239 Speaker 1: he got man bowling pins. I don't know what they was. 487 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: He was juggling something made the light. I gave him 488 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: a dollar though, you know what I'm saying, just because 489 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: I was like, damn, man, that's that's pretty cool. You 490 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: ain't just asking for a dollar. You actually creating something 491 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: now where it's entertainment, you know what I'm saying. So 492 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 1: I always think of Atlanta in that respect, like you 493 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,880 Speaker 1: could do anything here. If you people sell a plate 494 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,680 Speaker 1: side the house, people come up with drinks. 495 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. 496 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,919 Speaker 1: You could be nothing, you don't know nobody and just 497 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,360 Speaker 1: create some and have a whole business. 498 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:18,879 Speaker 4: No. 499 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: Man, that's the beautiful thing about it. I told somebody before. 500 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:26,440 Speaker 3: It's like in Atlanta, if you build something authentically, if 501 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,719 Speaker 3: you build it in public and you do good business, 502 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 3: you know Atlanta will support you, right because you know, 503 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,880 Speaker 3: we know this is a small city, bro. I mean 504 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 3: like we know you know. You do you do the 505 00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 3: wrong person wrong, you're doing bad business. It will spread 506 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 3: around real quickly. But the ability to like build something 507 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 3: and like again build something, that's kind of become a 508 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 3: cultural staple, which is one of the things you've done 509 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 3: shows kind of the kind of business that you're working on. 510 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 3: Who would you want to do with grill for?

For me, 518 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: it's about expanding and changing the culture. And I think 519 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: people who look like me sometimes get a different rap, 520 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: you know, from who we really are inside. And I 521 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 1: want to show people that you don't have to look 522 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,399 Speaker 1: a certain way to express how you feel on the 523 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:32,159 Speaker 1: inside by your teeth jury like tattoos, you know.

You know, I wanted to have something 548 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,320 Speaker 1: to talk about, have a story. 549 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 2: I've been through a lot, you know, coming up, and I. 550 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 1: Know that the only way people listen to you is 551 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: if you have something to say or you've proven something 552 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: to a certain extent. Yeah, you know, And I saw 553 00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: that early on as a kid, you know, watching superstars 554 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 1: like Beyonce. You know what I'm saying, Like, Man, they 555 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,480 Speaker 1: really listen to this person because of what she's accomplished, 556 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: of what she's done, and so I'm really inspired to 557 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: help people. That's I feel like, that's my mission in 558 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 1: life is to inspire the world. And so it's a 559 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: daily thing, whether I'm you know, on camera, off camera, 560 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: I'm inspiring people. Man, just walking on the street, you know, 561 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: telling people how they did a good job at work. 562 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 1: That's just something that I feel like I was born 563 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: to do. 564 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 3: How do you You know a lot of times people 565 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 3: throw around the word culture, and we've used it a lot, 566 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 3: even this conversation, like what's your definition of culture? 567 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 2: My definition of culture is. 568 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: The vibe of what people are saying and doing together 569 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: without them even knowing it. There's like, for example, there's 570 00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: a culture moment that's happening right now in the world 571 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: in regards. 572 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 2: To the Kamalah. 573 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, that was a culture moment I feel 574 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: like where people were together for something as black people. 575 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 2: But culture, I feel like it's not just black. 576 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 1: You know, culture is it's urban, it's how society moving, 577 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: is what people are paying attention to, what people are doing, 578 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: what people are wearing. And it's not necessarily something that's 579 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 1: spoken is just being done. 580 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 2: Yeah. You know. 581 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 3: One of my favorite definitions of culture comes from you know, 582 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 3: an author I always read, always talks about, you know, 583 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,399 Speaker 3: culture is people like us do things like this. Okay, 584 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 3: so it's kind of like what you just said, right, 585 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 3: and I think about it, and that's like, honestly, even 586 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 3: one of the reasons why you know, I started butter 587 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 3: atl is because for a long time, from a culture standpoint, 588 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 3: I got tired of people coming from outside of the culture, 589 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 3: you know, giving us permission to talk about our culture, 590 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 3: Like why do we need somebody from. 591 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 2: New York RelA coming down to Atlanta. 592 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 3: And being like, so, tell us about waffle house, right, 593 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,160 Speaker 3: you know, what is the limp pepper wings y'all eating 594 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 3: like and then they go take it back IM like, 595 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 3: so in Atlanta, this is what they do.

I think if anybody 664 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: hasn't started their business yet, that's definitely something to look into, 665 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 1: you know, managing systems, because that's a big part of 666 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: you being successful as an artist. What I wish I 667 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: would have done started out was probably, you know, man, 668 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: the artist's question is a little tricky because, you know, 669 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,720 Speaker 1: at times I think I wish I would have maybe 670 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: taken like deals you know that I didn't take. I've 671 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: seen some of my peers take deals and blow up 672 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: and have a lot of success. But I also think 673 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 1: that not taking some of those deals wouldn't have led 674 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: me to grills by Scotti and who I'm known as 675 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: today and what I've been able to accomplish. So you know, yeah, 676 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: I would have maybe taken more situations, but I'm I'm 677 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: kind of glad I didn't too. 678 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 2: You know. 679 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 3: Man, again, you can only connect to dots looking backwards, 680 00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 3: right and again, like you're totally right, like maybe passing 681 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,560 Speaker 3: up on a certain deal or on a certain situation, 682 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,200 Speaker 3: you know, open up the door, you know, down the 683 00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,800 Speaker 3: road a little bit for another situation, right, So it 684 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 3: all ends up working itself out in some weird ways sometimes, yeah, 685 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 3: you know, even though sometimes in the moment you're like, man, 686 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 3: what the hell is going on? 687 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 2: Exactly exactly, you know what I'm saying. 688 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 1: But because I've had I've watched a lot of my 689 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 1: friends just blow up right standing right next to him, Trinner, 690 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,480 Speaker 1: Dad James, watched k Camp blow up, and a lot 691 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: of other a lot of other people.
