My dad has this, like, 239 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 6: you know, Chicano history background. He marched Assessa Chaves. I've 240 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 6: had cheat, you know, very very immersed in culture and 241 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 6: adjacent to cannabis culture my whole life. So to now 242 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 6: be in the business and have this type of advantage 243 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 6: point was very special to me. And you know, Chiech 244 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 6: has an entire donation of the largest history largest volume 245 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 6: of Chicago art, and he donated it to a museum 246 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 6: in Riverside and it's called the Cheach Is the Whole Exhibit, 247 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 6: and they do exhibitions therein too, so it's even adding 248 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 6: new art to Chicago history. 249 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 3: So I thought that was really really special. 250 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 2: Well, that's cool. 251 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 1: That's another reason I love having you around because you 252 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: always have these little nuggets. 253 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 2: I mean, I had no idea about any of that. 254 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 2: Now that museum is still there. 255 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 6: It is brand new just a few years ago. I 256 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 6: believe I would have to, you know, see when it 257 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 6: was actually established. But they do have consistent rotating exhibitions 258 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 6: and this is. This was new information for me as well, 259 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 6: to find out that this actually existed in really to pop. 260 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: Up it's it isn't. 261 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: Actually I'm going to have a staff look it up 262 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: right on the break because I'd love to actually talk 263 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: about that. Yeah, you know, you talk you all. Everybody 264 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: is always the same shit. They go to bars, they 265 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: go to movies. It's really cool when you find these 266 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: little either a pop up or a permanent installment like that. 267 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:17,079 Speaker 1: And with art, it's always a fun time. The other 268 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: thing that I thought from a money standpoint, and I 269 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: really want to talk about that obviously being financial Fridays, 270 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 1: is that you know a lot of brands when they 271 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 1: want to launch, what they do is they go look 272 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: for the biggest celebrity, a Kylie or a Kendle, right, 273 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: and they think that they got to pay these millions 274 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 1: of dollars for these endorsements. And a lot of these brands, 275 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: you know, Kylie may not resonate with them, cheach a 276 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: lot of fuel, right. But if somebody is new in 277 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: marketing or does an understand is getting taken advantage of 278 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: by a marketer, you may think, all right, well, this 279 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: dude's got five million followers, and by them posting or 280 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: me paying them a product placement, I'm going to get 281 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: all this following, which you quickly realize is that's not 282 00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: your target audience, right. And what these guys did is 283 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: they tapped into somebody that's not just famous, right, but 284 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: he's he's been around enough that he's not going to 285 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: demand those millions of dollars. But when he shows up, 286 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: he's doing a cross section of the potential consumer base 287 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: out there. And what I mean by that is, you know, 288 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: I'm in my mid forties, I know who that is, 289 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 1: but a twenty year old knows who that is. So 290 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: now they're getting decades and decades of nostalgia. And you know, 291 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 1: I saw that as well at the Cali Vibes Festival, 292 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: where you get artists like Too Short or Cube that 293 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 1: everybody knows every single freaking lyrics. So it doesn't always 294 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: have to be, you know, the most modern, newest person 295 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: with the highest following. And I guarantee you the ROI 296 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,719 Speaker 1: that these guys got by bringing in a guy. And 297 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: I don't know what the fee would be for somebody 298 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: like a Cheech, but I imagine it's not as pricey 299 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: as some of these guys that are daily in your face. 300 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 6: Hey, okay, no, but I think really just even to 301 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 6: speak to just what I was able to, you know, 302 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 6: learn about Danny and the Blais Mota and Cheeche collaboration 303 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 6: is really it's it's like on the way on the 304 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 6: shoulders of culture, on the on the weaight and cloud 305 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 6: of culture, you know, in the equity of culture.

We had we had a 471 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: whole master mentor's crew, had our sales crew there, we 472 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: had a marketing team there, we had us there. 473 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 3: A total representation of the of the house. 474 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely and again these you know there was in 475 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: a paid promotion. We just like to get back to 476 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: the community. When we find cool events, we want to 477 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: bring it to our audience. And I had such a 478 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: good time there. But from a money and marketing standpoint 479 00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: to kind of come back full circle with you know, 480 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: the comparison from Cheeach to somebody like Taylor and the 481 00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 1: branding that you get with the demographic like that. 482 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 2: Now, this is a different type. 483 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: Of celebrity, if you will write a newer, more reality 484 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: based show. I don't believe she's been in any major 485 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: motion pictures, et cetera. But from a marketing standpoint, if 486 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 1: we're talking about okay, well, who would partner up a 487 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: brand with a tailor and who would partner up a 488 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: brand with a chief? Right, so he's coming in with 489 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: a nostalgia factor. Probably not as many female or you know, 490 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: oh see Housewives audience if you will. 491 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 6: So that it would be expect that's maybe not the 492 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 6: like common and demographic that you would associate. 493 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: Exactly, But she had all these and then it turns 494 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: out there is a crossover. And just when you think something, 495 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: you know, and I know when I first started doing 496 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 1: the show here at CT one to one, I was like, well, 497 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: do I want to do a financial show or do 498 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:42,560 Speaker 1: I you know, I don't want it to just be 499 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 1: another cannabis show. But then you quickly realize that almost 500 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 1: every single human that I brought on the show, whether 501 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: it's been a celebrity artist, whether it's been a fitness model, 502 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: whether it's been a doctor. They're all somehow indirectly or 503 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: directly going to either get into cannabis. Cannabis is helping them, 504 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: Cannabis is curing something. You know, a good friend of 505 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: mine who's a bodybuilder, you know, instead of taking vicodens 506 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: et cetera for pain, CBD, et cetera. So you never 507 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: really know what the limit to Cannabis has just literally 508 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,160 Speaker 1: taken over every single industry in one way, shape or form. 509 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 6: Well, yeah, I mean it's it's it's culture and adjacency. 510 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 3: And I think everybody who you know. 511 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 6: Has been around cannabis has their own experience, right, But 512 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 6: it's how it all. It's really an ecosystem, you know, 513 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 6: in terms of just how we're all connected. We saw that, 514 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,360 Speaker 6: you know, on Tuesday Talker Tuesdays, and I think it's 515 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 6: amazing to see that crossover because again, Taylor has a 516 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 6: totally different maybe life experience than you know, some of 517 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 6: the people that it just isn't you know that the homies, you. 518 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 3: Know, the Chicago's attracked and it was just really really cool. 519 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 6: But even think of something like somebody like Gwen right 520 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 6: when Stefani, you know, growing up in OC and so 521 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 6: much of her early nineties influence. You can see the 522 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 6: the Chicano cholo chola, which is you know, even there's 523 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 6: even nuances of that because that is actually a community title, 524 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 6: you know, type of thing. But Chicato was a self identity, 525 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 6: you know, so and there's so many elements of visual 526 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 6: culture for that. So it definitely you know, these are neighbors, 527 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 6: La and OC in California is just one big melting 528 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 6: pot of all of us. 529 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 3: So I thought that was really cool too. 530 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the crossover between the demographics is interesting for 531 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: me too because coming from Cali Vibes where we were 532 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 1: at the week before, we had a phenomenal time, but 533 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: seeing two completely different genres of music and old school 534 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 1: news school, but then it seems like the old school's 535 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: really coming back. I mean, Gwen did that was one 536 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: of the best concerts I've seen in a long time. 537 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: Fabulous her stage presence, her outfits, the production value she 538 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: was putting into that, you know, probably costs ten times 539 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: say two short or cubes performance where it was just 540 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: them and the DJ, but the crowd still vibing just 541 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: as hard. They do every single lyric, and the same 542 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: audience that's watching Cuba Short is going over to Gwenn 543 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: and going over to the reggae festival, and you really 544 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: quickly realize the crossover effect that a lot of these 545 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 1: artists are having. And then she brings up Blake and 546 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: they do this that love song face to face, and 547 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 1: so it was really eye opening. It's been a while 548 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: since I've been to a big, big festival, probably since 549 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: Coachella or even even our own Burning Trees, but it's 550 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: it's really interesting to see how many of these different 551 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: musics and crossover artists are tapping. 552 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 2: In because at the end of the day, it is 553 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 2: about money. It is financial Fridays. But seeing how these. 554 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: Artists are not just pigeonholing themselves into just one sector, 555 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 1: one audience, or flavor, one color, and so those things 556 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: just really resonate with me. And I think I think 557 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,199 Speaker 1: from a marketing and business standpoint, people can really you know, 558 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: you can look at these opportunities that we do as 559 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: just like fun and everyone says, oh, you're just having fun, 560 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,800 Speaker 1: you're doing this and that I'm like, dude, I'm always 561 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,400 Speaker 1: looking at it from a money angle, from an opportunity 562 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: angle and how I can teach the audience by looking 563 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: at these business owners, by these celebrities, they're not Each 564 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:43,240 Speaker 1: one of them. 565 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 2: Still has a hustle. Each one of them is still 566 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 2: doing something. 567 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: And you know, when you look at entrepreneurship, there's a 568 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: lot of opportunities that you can provide.

I need to 754 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 1: take money out. I need to take money out. What 755 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: happens eventually Sunday we go. 756 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 3: On zero baby, and then what happens where you're flatlined? 757 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 2: And then what happens You're overdrawn. 758 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 1: You're overdrawn, and then you get shut down, and then 759 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: you can eventually end up in check systems, and then 760 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 1: you can't you can't ever a fuck with that bank again. 761 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 1: Right now, if you look at your relationships as currency, 762 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: you want to make more deposits than you want to 763 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: make withdrawals in your network, right because so many times 764 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:58,720 Speaker 1: people just want to sell to their friends, whether you 765 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: want to get an insurance with, you want to sell cars, 766 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: whatever you want to do. If all of a sudden, 767 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: if you're that person that's constantly hitting up your friends 768 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: for shit, asking for withdrawals, eventually your relationships are going 769 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: to be banker up or you're going to end up 770 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: overdrawn to the point where people don't want to gravitate 771 00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 1: towards you. Whereas if you keep making more deposits and 772 00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,360 Speaker 1: your friendships, your currency becomes your friendships. But you're making 773 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: more deposits into those friendships, then then all of a sudden, 774 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: you're not even thinking of withdrawals, and the withdrawals come. 775 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 1: And a perfect example is what Sunday and I are 776 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: doing here today. You know, the relationships that we're talking about, 777 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: these were not paid relationships. These people don't even know 778 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 1: we're talking about their products here today. However, this is 779 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: a deposit for us because when we were there, we 780 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: liked the way we were treated, We like the staff, 781 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,800 Speaker 1: we saw some of the owners, We saw some relationships 782 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,440 Speaker 1: that eventually possibly we'd want to do business with. So 783 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: we're right now making deposits into these relationships. 784 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 2: Does that makes sense? 785 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 3: Powerful? Absolutely, for sure. 786 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: You know, part of the reason to do in the 787 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,840 Speaker 1: show is obviously they're entertained. But I hope if there's 788 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 1: one little nugget that you get from every show that 789 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 1: it if impacts one person's life, just paid forward, Yeah, 790 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: impact other people's lives. 791 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 792 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 6: I mean, if we're not going to be I think 793 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 6: what I will say is we have the power of 794 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,920 Speaker 6: life and death in our tongue, right, so our words 795 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,800 Speaker 6: carry weight, they matter, and that is exactly what I 796 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 6: feel aligns with what you're saying. We're making deposits into 797 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 6: our relationships and then we can, man, we can go 798 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 6: do some amazing things together, right. 799 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: Cool, Yeah, that's cool.
