152
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 4: in the Young Thug and Yasel Rico trial. You know,

153
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 4: they had like seven hundred people, over seven hundred witnesses,

154
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 4: and so the judge ordered to stay to cut down

155
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 4: that list to the ones that they currently intend to call.

156
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 4: So they have a new list of about two hundred

157
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 4: witnesses and that includes multiple code defendants who took please

158
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 4: as witnesses. But Gunna is not on that list, and

159
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,680

192
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 9: to the store, and I pulled up.

193
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 10: I pulled up into the crosswalk and then he you

194
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 10: know a lot of these guys they think that they

195
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 10: run the street.

196
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 9: So he's like, move move your car to move me,

197
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 9: move me. You can do it right, move me. So

198
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 9: he said, I will.

199
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 10: And when I went to get out the door, when

200
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 10: I want to open my door to see what he

201
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 10: was about, he helped my door so I couldn't get out.

202
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 3: He's touching your car, a violation, violation.

203
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 10: But as I think about it, I'm glad he helped

204
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 10: my door because if I had got out and then

205
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 10: he was right, and then I was just I would

206
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 10: have been in jail to have been calling you from

207
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 10: now question.

208
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 3: He was that powerful that he held the door and

209
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 3: you couldn't.

210
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 9: Easy to hold the door because all you have to

211
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 9: do is push it.

212
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, man, you might need to do some push ups.

213
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 9: I wasn't. I wasn't.

214
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 10: I wasn't trying to force it open. I wasn't trying

215
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 10: to like wow, And.

216
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 3: So then what ended up like after that, he.

217
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 9: Just he backed up.

218
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 3: He backed up.

219
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 10: He kind of like backed up so that it was

220
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 10: we wasn't close. By the time I got out the car,

221
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 10: he was like a couple of spaces away.

222
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:23,959
Speaker 9: From me. Then I would have had to kind of

223
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 9: like run him down, and that wouldn't.

224
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 3: Have been good, would have done that.

225
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:28,760

228
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: You're not gonna win in that situation. For many reasons.

229
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 9: It's just all bad.

230
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,760

233
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,080

234
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,160

235

340
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 4: two years ago, after that night.

341
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,920

Speaker 3: Yeah, he's still trying to serve him.

344
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 4: He actually hired a private investigator to locate and serve him.

345
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 4: He was unsuccessful in tracking him down. And that's wild

346
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 4: because your sister also has a baby with him.

347
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 3: So yeah, so you would think he.

348
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 6: Can find him.

349
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 9: So what's the charge because he beat him?

350
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess so you know, And it's an assault lawsuit,

351
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 4: and so they.

352
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 9: Wanted to fight, didn't he?

353
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, he did.

354
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: Until I was there that night.

355
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 9: He was wow, it was wanted to fight.

356
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 6: He wanted to smoke and then he guess he beat

357
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 6: That's what happened. So you know he got what he

358
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 6: was looking for.

359
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 4: Well, he's just trying to get damages in that case

360
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 4: and the amount has not been disclosed, but he did

361
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 4: say he's separate physical and psychological damage.

362
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,200

363
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,359
Speaker 9: your way then you want to And.

364
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 4: The other thing is that since he can't find him

365
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: to serve him, he wants to be able to inform

366
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 4: him of the lawsuit via a newspaper. So you know,

367
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 4: when you can't serve somebody, you got to find out

368

444
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 4: we don't, all right now. The parents of Oxford High

445
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 4: School mass shooter Ethan Crumbley, that's Jennifer and James Crumbly.

446
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 4: We're sentenced to ten to fifteen years yesterday. Each of

447
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 4: them were found guilty of four counts of an involuntary manslaughter.

448
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 4: They had separate trials earlier this year. They've already served

449
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 4: eight hundred and fifty eight days in jail while awaiting trial.

450
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 4: That will be deducted from their sentence. But this was

451
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 4: a very rare case of parents facing criminal charges impossible

452
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 4: jail time over their role in a shooting that's carried

453
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,879
Speaker 4: out by their child. They could have faced up to

454
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 4: fifteen years in prison for each count, but they asked

455
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 4: for ten to fifteen years total for each parent from prosecutors,

456
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 4: according to a sentencing memo. According to prosecutors, the parents

457
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 4: ignored several warning signs in the days leading up to

458
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 4: the shooting, and they had just bought their son the

459
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 4: weapon that he used in the shooting. The prosecution argued,

460
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 4: parents failed to secure the weapon and limit their son's

461
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 4: access to it, so now they're in jail.

462
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 3: All right, that is.

488
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: She's got a lot of great things going on.

489
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 4: But she did have to heal physically, and she said

490
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: mentally she suffered a lot of people didn't treat me

491
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 4: like I was a human For a long time, she

492
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 4: said she got a lot of hate from fellow artists, strangers,

493
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 4: and bloggers who questioned her recollection of the experience of

Speaker 4: the fun and happy party girl. I watched people build

497
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 4: me up, tear me down, and be confused about their

498
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 4: expectations of me as a black woman, as a darker

499
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 4: black woman. I also feel like people expect me to

500
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 4: take the punches, take the beating, take the lashings, and

501
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 4: handle it with grace. But I'm human, and so, she said,

Speaker 3: Here's what she said.

518
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 16: Anyone that's ever been through knows that divorce is hard.

00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,840
Speaker 16: It's like the stomach flu like, you will be skinny afterwards.

520
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 16: I lost weight just naturally going through life, and I

521
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 16: found myself depressed trying to just navigate and rediscover who

522
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:13,719
Speaker 16: am I.

523
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, depression either it'll make you overeat or undeat.

524
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's stress, true.

525
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 9: I'll probably eat more if I was stressing.

526
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 4: I remember I went through a period of time in

527
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 4: my life when I was so stressed out and I

528
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 4: lost so much weight.

529
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 3: But then I was like happy about it?

530
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 9: Right right?

531
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 3: I was like, man, I'm stressed all right.

532
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 4: And then lastly, let's talk about Yandy and then DC

533
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 4: on Love and Hip Hop? This was actually trending, and

534
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 4: it looks like they're having a lot of issues in

535
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 4: their relationship. And when producers asked him in DC if

536
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 4: he's ever considered divorce, here's what he had to say.

537
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 13: Could you never see yourself actually divorcing Andy?

538
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 8: I don't know.

539
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 13: I asked myself that question every day and can come

540
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 13: up with an answer.

541
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 3: That's wild. They've been together for a long time.

542
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 4: I mean even while he was locked up, she was

543
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 4: taking care of his kids.

544
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 3: Their kids.

545
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,360
Speaker 9: It's it's love and hip hop? Is it really real?

546
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 3: You don't believe it?

547
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 9: I don't know because I don't know.

548
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 10: Is it real or is it Does it help the

549
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 10: storyline to see that they're going through something like to

550
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 10: spice it up?

551
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 12: Right?

552
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know.

553
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 3: But if you look at him, he just looked kind

554
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 3: of over it.

555
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 4: I feel like TV, but I feel like man, DC

556
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 4: kind of always just looks like that.

557
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 3: Though.

558
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 10: If the storyline is that they happily married and they

559
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 10: got businesses together.

560
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 9: Then that's not as compelling, right, It's not as spicy.

561
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 3: It's relatable as like going through it.

562
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 10: So if they're going through it and it looks real, Dan,

563
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 10: it gives it like a little.

564
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: You know, although it's hard to play about your real

565
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 4: life because they do have kids that are old enough

566
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 4: to see that, so do you want to?

567
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 9: But it's not it's not toxic. It's just kind of

568
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 9: like regular.

569
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,239
Speaker 4: Right, Mammy and Daddy are acting well I don't know,

570
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 4: I can't say, but if they are acting, they're doing

571
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 4: a good job because Yandy really does look like.

572
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 3: And they've been together for a while, so you.

573
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 4: Know, and you know what, the dynamics definitely feel like

Speaker 4: had to hold everything down, right, and then he came

576
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 4: home and he's basically like, I'm home now. You don't

577
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 4: got to act the same way and do the same things.

578
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 4: But she got so used to it, you know, So

579
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,000

00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 10: If you don't understand if you need to be with

632
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 10: somebody that understands, you need to be with somebody that

633
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 10: helps bring you harmony. That's a black man. He out

634
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 10: there going out against the world to fight the world.

635
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 10: He need to come home to harmony.

636
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 5: But he also got to work too.

637
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 9: But he lost his job. He will.

638
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 3: Y'all understand she watched your children too.

639
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 8: No, we don't have no kids, we're not near will

640
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 8: contribute when I even do.

641
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 16: That, do that idea?

642
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 4: If she can't contribute to the household too, then and

643
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 4: there's no way that she's down to do that. I

644
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,080
Speaker 4: don't think that's fair in any way. I get it,

645
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 4: like she held you down. Now you came home. You

646
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 4: pay for things, because relationships got to be a thing

647
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 4: where both of y'all come together for the good of

648
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 4: what's good for the relationship. And it's really not fair

649
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 4: to you if financially the entire burden is on you

650
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 4: and she's making money and stacking her money, But what

651
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 4: are you stacking if things don't work out? And if

652
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,400
Speaker 4: she can't understand that, you know, then that's not her.

653
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 4: It might just be maybe we're just not in a

654
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,160
Speaker 4: relationship because you're not respecting the fact that I'm having

655
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,959
Speaker 4: rough times and it honestly, it never feels good to

656
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 4: not have money and not be making the money that

657
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 4: you were, So it's already a downer for you and

658
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 4: for her to not be supportive and say I got you,

659
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 4: cause it is supposed to be when things aren't good

660
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 4: for you and i'm up, I got you.

661
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 3: And when i'm up, you know I got you.

662
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 4: So if she don't got you, then it can't be

663
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 4: a one way relationship.

664
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 6: But I think y'all should go back to the drawing

665
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 6: board because nine times out of ten, some getting left out.

666
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 6: So I will go down, write all the bills down

667
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,679
Speaker 6: and see who go pay for what, and then just

668
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 6: take it from there.

669
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, handle your business, James, because you know you was

670
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 4: locked up. Now it's time for you to do what

671
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 4: you need to do for yourself. And if somebody is

672
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 4: not going to help elevate your situation. That's not the

673
00:27:56,359 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 4: right person stopping me. Thank you, Janemes. I appreciate all right,

Speaker 3: See this is why she's good at what she does.

696
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 3: She already started it off right.

697
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 4: But you know, Vanessa, you do have a background in

698
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 4: radio and in media, so let's talk about how you

699
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 4: got started, and by the way, you can follow her

700
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 4: at Vanessa James Media.

701
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 11: Boy started off much like you in radio and radio.

702
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 11: For me started off in Tallahassee, where I met Doc

703
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 11: Winter we know very well, and transitioned down to South

704
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 11: Florida and that's where I got my first programming slash

705
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 11: so on the air as well as music director.

706
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 5: I'm training, so multiple jobs.

707
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 3: That's OLLI jobs, OLLI jobs.

708
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 11: Born in Trinidad, Born in Trinidad, and then transitioned to

709
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 11: being on the air. So it was great back then

710
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 11: to just kind of figure out do I like programming

711
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,240
Speaker 11: more or you know, being on the air more, doing

712
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 11: promotions more. And I realized in order to be really great,

713
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 11: you do have to pick a lane, so I picked

714
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 11: programmer to start. So in two thousand and nine, when

715
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 11: my station flipped, I decided I didn't want to go

716
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 11: to another radio market and I started Vanessa James Media

717
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 11: at that time so I could pay myself because I

718
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 11: was doing a lot of freelance work and clients would

719
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 11: be like, can you send me an invoice?

720
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 5: I'm like, let me figure out.

721
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 11: What invoys when we get this company together, and that's

722
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 11: how we kind of get started with that. And I

723
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 11: transitioned into doing hosting and doing voice over full time,

724
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 11: and that's really HOVINGNESSA. James Media was born really out

725
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 11: of assess.

726
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 4: It's a Wealth Wednesday and Vanessa James, the founder of

727
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 4: Vanessa James Media, is here alongside my Wealth Wednesday partner's

728
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 4: Stacy Tisdale.

729
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 9: Look what you ended up doing.

730
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 17: You started in a corporation, went entrepreneurial, but now you're

731
00:30:13,280 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 17: not only doing media work. You're doing events, you're doing coaching,

732
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,760
Speaker 17: you're doing what all busy? Is that busy gel So

733
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 17: talk about how you you know, you do your voiceovers,

734
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 17: but you've had to build a business around it.

735
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 11: So VJ Media, which I'm very proud to celebrate it

736
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 11: thirteen years as an anthet election now wild it is.

737
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 11: But I will say the way that I really transitioned

738
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 11: and looking back all this time, it's really kind of

739
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 11: shown me that versatility for me means allowing yourself to

740
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 11: have those opportunities to explore all the different assets. And

741
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 11: I'm so excited to be here on your well show

742
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 11: because I took the time also to save, and so

743
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 11: because I saved money along the way, I didn't just

744
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 11: spend the money on all.

745
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 5: The Gucci bags and all that stuff.

746
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 11: I got a chance to be very versatile, to try

747
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 11: things and decide, Okay, here's the journey I want to

748
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 11: take with my business. And I had that flexibility because

749
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 11: I had a little bit of money saved to have

750
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 11: that cushion to be able to be freak and clear

751
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 11: and try things and see how they float.

752
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 5: Right now, I'm in my event season flow.

753
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 4: I want to discuss how you decided it was time

754
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 4: for you to actually start to own business, because that's

755
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 4: scary for some people, having the security and safety of

756
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 4: a paycheck and then realizing, okay, now I'm going to

757
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 4: step out on my own.

758
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 3: When did you realize it was time?

759
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 11: Well, time was forced upon me when my station fopped.

760
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 11: And at that time I had the choice because I

761
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 11: had great relationships in the industry that I still have,

762
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 11: and so I got calls like hey, VJ, we got

763
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 11: you in you know, San Francisco, And at that time

764
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 11: I had a choice. And for me, I'm very rooted

765
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 11: in my roots right and so for me, South Florida

766
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 11: just felt like a natural fit.

767
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 5: But I loved that I had.

768
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 11: Created so much community there and so it didn't feel

769
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 11: like work in terms of building things in South Florida,

770
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 11: because it was very much like building things with your people.

771
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 11: And that's when I realized, you know what, it was

772
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 11: just time to kind of step out and have faith

773
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 11: on me and not go take that secure radio job,

774
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 11: which was the same amount of money, but it was

775
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 11: a lateral move. And I'm like, San Francisco is like

776
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 11: thirty five a week for Renna cost you a lot.

777
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 11: It's gonna set to be a lot to move there.

778
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 11: And I had no roots there, and so I would

779
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 11: just tell people who are starting in business, where are

780
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 11: your roots firmly planted?

781
00:32:17,320 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 5: That's where you should spring from. That's great advice, you

782
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying.

783
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 3: It's really easy to keep.

784
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 5: Starting over and over and over and over.

785
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 11: But at the end of the day, where do you

804
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 3: All right, Stacy, you have a question through all of this.

805
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,400
Speaker 17: One of the many businesses that sprung up is coaching

806
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 17: women entrepreneurs. How did you get so passionate about that?

807
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 11: Celebrating womanhood and celebrating togetherness is really who I am.

808
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 11: So I created events like VJ Media Mixology and VJ

809
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 11: Media's Women of Impact in her every year in South Florida,

810
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 11: which you should definitely come to. And I want to

811
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 11: talk to you about food. One in fact two PEPs

812
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,040
Speaker 11: i should be there, really just giving a chance to

813
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 11: celebrate other women. And what I've realized in the last

814
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 11: ten years is celebrating other women really means growing your network,

815
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 11: growing your community. When you start to celebrate other people

816
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 11: and you're joyous about it, things just flow to you.

817
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 5: I started to do it and love it.

818
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 11: And now events, it's time again for VJ Media post

819

Speaker 11: Caribbean women, Caribbean community all right in Miami there.

822
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 17: When you coach women, what are some of the things

823
00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 17: that you're like, Oh, this again.

824
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 11: Definitely the business part of things, like making sure they

825
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 11: have their business and their money in order, and making

826
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 11: sure that things are trademarked. It's not just about BJ

827
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 11: I want to start a business. It's about Okay, great,

828
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,320

829
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 11: of your business. What does it look like, what does

830
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 11: it feel like? What do you want your business to

831
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 11: feel like to the world. Once you get past that blueprint, now,

832
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 11: let's firm things up. Sis Okay, let's make sure you

833
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 11: have it. Llced or Es Corporate Incorporated based on you know,

834
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:36,319
Speaker 11: your style of business. Let's make sure you have a

835
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 11: little bit of funding, and if you don't, let's see

836
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 11: where you can get some grants locally to help you springboard. Right,

837
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 11: Let's look at the other women in your community and

838
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 11: other people in your community that you can lean on

839
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 11: for graphics or you know, production or your website. Because

840
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 11: you can't do it all alone, no, right, So it's

841
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 11: really about how you create that network so that you

842
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 11: can spring forward.

843
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 4: It's a Wealth Wednesday and Vanessa James, the founder of

844
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 4: Vanessa James Me is here alongside my Wealth Wednesday partner

845
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 4: is Stacy Tisdale.

846
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 17: You mentioned local grants, Yeah, and that's something so few

847
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 17: people think about talk about that.

848
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 11: Local grants are so important, especially women owned businesses. Think

849
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:16,720
Speaker 11: about all the different things that you do, and especially

850
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 11: if you're just getting started in your business. There are

851
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,959
Speaker 11: companies that are looking to just give money away because

852
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 11: it's a write off for them, specifically in your area.

853
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 11: And then also local businesses that fund and support other

854
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 11: women in the form of grants. So what I would

855
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 11: say to you to do is google local grants for

856
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 11: women in Miami and see what pops up. When I

857
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 11: first was getting started. I had applied for two, I

858
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 11: got one. I think it was like five thousand dollars,

859
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 11: but I use that five thousand dollars. And now the

860
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 11: grant process is very laborious, so you have to be

861
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 11: prepared to have all those documents to prove that you're

862
00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 11: women owned at least fifty percent, and that you you know,

863
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 11: if you have employees or if it's just you, all

864
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 11: those things. You have to make sure the blueprint I

865
00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 11: was talking about, make sure you have that altogether first.

866
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,719
Speaker 11: But then you can apply, and you'd be surprised how

867
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,319
Speaker 11: many businesses and how many resources that are out there

868
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 11: to help support other women.

869
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, sometimes people don't apply for some of these guys

870
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 4: are so few that it makes it a lot easier exactly.

871
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:10,799
Speaker 11: They're like, how come no one's applied, Especially if you

872
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 11: qualify and you and you check all those boxes. It's

873
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 11: very important.

874
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 17: What's your website because all media dot com.

875
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,200
