Speaker 1: Houston Astros or World Champions now they was holding this

95
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,240

96
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: event downtown was gonna be utter cad chaos. Plus they

97
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: knew they're gonna be celebrate too, so they counseled the

98
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,719

99
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,960

Speaker 1: come on that. I'm happy to astros Wong. So this Friday,

104
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: I'll be back in Houston hosting the Liftoff Houston Competition

105
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: at the Julia Idison Building in downtown Houston. Now Lift

106
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: Off Houston, the City of Houston's annual Business Plan competition,

107
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: is an entrepreneur initiative aim to empower Houstonians with business literacy, education,

108
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: and mentorship to start their own business while contributing to

109
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: the local growth and sustainability of the Houston economy. This year,

110
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: there will be three award categories, and each category you

111
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: can win ten thousand dollars. So they can say all

112
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: those fancy words they want, but the bottom line this

113
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: is about winning money. In each category you can win

114
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars with a total person of thirty thousand

115
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: if you're fortunate to win all three categories. But right

116
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: now we're just talking about each category. The first category

117
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: would be product, the second category will be service, and

118
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: the third category will be innovation. Now you can't enter now,

119
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: but I'm sure they held this contest last year. This

120
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: competition last year is kind of like a Shark Tank

121
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: Shark Tank promotion. It is sponsored by Capital One Bank,

122
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: and so it's really a cool thing to do, is

123
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: our own version of Shark Tank. I'll be hosting, There'll

124
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: be three of the judges. That's gonna be a live audience,

125
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: so please bring your personality people. And then there is

126
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: gonna be one prize where you can win based on

127
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: audience reaction. So if you bring if the contestants bring

128
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: a lot of people and they make noise, and it's

129
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: kind of like Apolo style where I'll be able to

130
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: say you have the most noise, You're gonna win this prize.

131
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with the three prizes, which

132
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: are the Product, Service and Innovation prizes where you win

133
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars each. This is another cooler prize just

134
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: to encourage people to bring people to the show that

135
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: we're hosting it. We're trying to build up some momentum

136
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: with this. That's why I'm involved because of the fact

137
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: that it involved small businesses and if anybody has has

138
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: has called onto my matra. The last uh this summer,

139
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: I've been all about the small businesses. I've been all

140
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: about when the when the small businesses were hit by

141
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: Hurricane Harvey. I got withdrawn love of the Texas Black

142
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: Expo and we set up a campaign to raise funds

143
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: to assist small businesses that were damaged by Hurricane Harvey.

144
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 1: And we were giving out one thousand dollars stipends to

145
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: each business who registered on the Texas Black Expo site.

146
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: So this is my mantra anything that has to do

147
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: with small businesses because small business employ people, small businesses

148
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: pay taxes. So that's why it's important that small businesses survived.

149
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: And that's what the LIFTOFF Houston is. Competition is all

150
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: about encouraging people to reach out because a lot of

151
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: people just start business with a with a bucket and

152
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: a bad thought. You know what I'm saying. I like

153
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: my idea, just just go out there. They don't have

154
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: no business plan. That's the bad thought part of it.

155
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,160

251
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,240

252
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: of your d n A. Correct it is. You know

253
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: what's crazy is I grew up in a family where

254
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: my grandfather was a pharmacist in Seneca, South Carolina, which

255
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 1: is a small town. He the black community all all

256
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: around down and and he would try I would see

257
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: him trade potatoes, chickens for pharmaceuticals, and he served the community,

258
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: you know, he literally served the community. And and my

259
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: other grandfather, my father's side, was the same way. And

260
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: I learned that from them, and and and I really,

261
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: what's the use of of being here, of traveling through

262
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: this journey of life unless you actually serve the community

263
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: that you're a part of. And that's that's that's just

264
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: it makes me happy. Man. I get as much out

265
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: of it as as uh as I give. And so

266
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: so I'm proud of that. And I'm proud that my

267
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: family gave me that, and they believing this should be

268
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: proud of that because the fact that you know, I

269
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: come from humble beginnings, and the whole purpose of with

270
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: my success is that I've just had this natural entrepreneurs

271
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: side of me, and natural trying to uplift and natural

272
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: trying to be engaged and trying to create people. And

273
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: one of the interesting things that I want to bring

274
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: up here was that in I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.

275
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,400

276
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: And I just found that out. And that's one of

277
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: the reason I want to bring you on the show.

278
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: And I know there, I know the product we're about

279
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: to talk about is tied to that, and and the

280
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: thing about it, it was that And I know I

281
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 1: only have you for one break. And I said, Man,

282
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: when men get to talk, and they're gonna be said,

283
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: because we're gonna talk about so much once he knows

284
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: that we have that link. Because it changed my life, man,

285
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: because it also let me focus on where am I

286
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: add in my life, you know, because I don't care.

287
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: You know this for a fact. When they say the

288
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: word cancer, dude, your life stops. Yea, it stops. I

289
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: don't care who you are, how young you are, how

290
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: old you are, I don't care what. It's just the

291
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: sea word has been spoken in front of you, and

292
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 1: you're starting to put all everything in order, everything in order.

293
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: And and that is that because that happened to you,

294
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 1: it inspired you and tell us the respiration and so

295
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: we can get into the whole reason why you're on

296
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: the show today. Yeah, So what happened when I was

297
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: diagnosed with cancer. My father had died of cancer, pareat cancer,

298
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: My uncle had died of lung cancer. My grandfather, their head,

299
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: died of cancer. So so cancer obviously ran in the

300
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: mail of my family. So I was I was very

301
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: afraid and then ultimately did everything I could to to

302
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: to to deal with it, had the surgery, all of that.

303
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: So this President Obama. President Obama knew that this had

304
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: happened to me, um, you know, through our friendship, and

305
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: he asked me if I would join the President's Cancer Panel,

306
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 1: which is a panel that makes recommendations to the White

307
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 1: House round cancer policy. There's always one non scientist on

308
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: the panel. So I joined this panel. And what happened

309
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: was all these scientists would come in and say, listen,

310
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: this isn't studied and it will never be studied because

311
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: of money and political reasons that I'll talk to you

312
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,199
Speaker 1: about blah blah blah blah blah. But we believe that

313
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: a lot of the root cause of cancer has to

314
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:46,640
Speaker 1: do with what we put on our skin. Our skin

315
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: is the largest organ in our body, swords everything. If

316
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: you aid it, your enderconsystem, your liver, your kidneys have

317
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: to deal with it. And they said the reason why

318
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: I will never be tested because the same companies that

319
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: make the lotions that contain the illuminiums, the petroleums, the

320
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: paramin and the oils and all these things, the same

321
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: companies who make that are also the same companies of

322
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 1: the drug company. So they're never going to do a

323
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: long term study of the effects of their product on

324
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: on on you. So it led me to to to

325
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 1: join with a scientist. Uh we formulated products to two

326
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: years of formulation to create this company called Be the

327
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 1: Architect dot Com. Because I always talk about all of

328
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,239
Speaker 1: us are the architects of our own life. We can

329
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: create a life like an architect builds a building, but

330
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: you gotta start with a blueprint or a plan, and

331
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: then you've got to build a foundation, etcetera, just like

332
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: an architect approaches. So so that's why it's called be

333
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: the Architect dot Com. People can go to Hill Harper

334
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: dot com and actually see the product that we have.

335
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: You know, a ton of promotions, but basically the products

336
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: are affordable, premium quality products that don't contain any carcinogenic material.

337
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: When I say Carson and gentle matey, I'm talking about

338
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: if lotions. Most people are listening to us right now,

339
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: have on their shelf. If you at the back, it

340
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: will say aluminium in some form on the back of that.

341
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: Your body cannot process aluminum. It cannot process it. But

342
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: if you put it on your skin, it goes into

343
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: your liver, it goes into your kidneys, and it impacts

344
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: you your body. Petroleum, you're not meant to absorb literally

345
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: motor oil. When I'm calling you know, it's sad that

346
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: whole life petroleum. Jelly is delly is a byproduct of oil. Yeah,

347
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: we we will, will will put vasoline all over our

348
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: bodies and think that's healthy. It's horrible, your nose, everything,

349
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: you know. I'm yeah, we'll put it. We'll put it there.

350
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: And then the worst one of all, to be honest,

351
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 1: is what they call baby oil because it makes you

352
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: think it's good for a baby. Will actually put it

353
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: on babies. That is called the basis. They call it

354
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: mineral oil, which is another big lie. It's nothing mineral

355
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: about it. There's no minerals. What it is is another

356
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: petroleum by product. Okay, it is. It is horrendous for you,

357
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: but yet it's cheap. They sell it to the communities

358
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 1: that that that have the least amount of money our communities, right,

359
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: and they market it as if it's good for babies, etcetera.

360
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: So my product, I said, well, I gotta come out

361
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: with the set of price. There's plenty of organic products

362
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: out there that are expensive, right, But I said, I

363
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 1: need to come out with some products that that folks

364
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: don't have to choose between food and and and healthy products.

365
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: It's a shame that that choice is out there. So

366
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: if you go to the site Hill Harvord dot com,

367
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: you'll see be the architect UH and Co. You'll see us,

368
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: and you'll see that these products are extremely healthy, but

369
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: they're also extremely affordable the same same price you pay

370
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: for for other other products that in the same category

371
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 1: at Walgreen, CVS or get Walmart. And we should tell

372
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: you there's a female line and a male line, and

373
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: that needs to be really really brought up because I

374
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: look through the whole process that way. But I would

375
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: tell you this, that's very important because a lot of

376
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: the people think you can't you know, female and male

377
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: skin tones, embody needs and all needs. Inherent needs are

378
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 1: totally different. And I hate problems to try to make

379
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: it all in one. That's why I really respected your

380
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: whole brain. When I saw that when he's on the

381
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: something that's really good because he's not trying to make

382
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: this all in one just bother shampoo work for women

383
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: and they bother up all you're saying it's different and

384
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: explain to people why that's important. So it's important because

385
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: here's the deal. When you when when you put oil

386
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 1: or you put anything on your body, it go. It

387
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: impacts the pH of your skin, which is you know

388
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 1: you you you want your skin to be soft. All

389
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: of us wanted to be soft and wanted to be healthy,

390
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: trying not drying ashy. And the oil, the key oil

391
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: that we use. It's called wild bab oil, wild bab oil,

392
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 1: and it's from Africa. It's got properties of vitamin A

393
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: D C. It's from they called the tree of life

394
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: in Africa and it's the wildbab tree. The oil comes

395
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: from a seed there. It's grown in Malawi, Northern Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Madagascar,

396
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 1: et cetera. And we're one of the first products in

397
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: the United States to import bilbab oil and infuse it

398
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: into our products. We think the oil is great, particularly

399
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: for skin with melanin and when you have melanin in

400
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: your skin to need um. The need shift, they change,

401
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: we have less. We tend to have less vitamin D

402
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 1: in our system. Our Vitamin D is one of the

403
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: healthiest properties you can have. We tend to have less

404
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: vitamin D because the melanin in our skin, and so therefore,

405
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: supplementing vitamin D and having oils that already naturally contain

406
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: vitamin D properties in the oil helps you get that

407
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: through your skin. Uh. And you don't have to lay

408
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: out in the sun all day now, So go ahead. Now,

409
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,280

438
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: bump Fighter absolutely. And you know, obviously we don't want

439
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: a key Lloyd. We have different needs because our hair

440
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: curls before hits the top of the skin, so with curls,

441
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: so we need different things to open up the skin

442
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: to make sure the hair and the follicle can make

443
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: it out and soil. That's what bump fighters do. Some

444
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: bump fighters have acid. We don't choose to put acid

445
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: in our bump fighters because we don't believe you need

446
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: to be burning your skin to have healthy skin. So

447
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: so what I'm doing for everybody, for everybody who's listening,

Speaker 1: know exactly what you're trying to do here with a

461
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: product that cared about I said, I love the fact

462
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,400

463
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 1: your work. Now. The only thing I was kind of

464
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: wondering why when I went to the male side, which

465
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: is H two L the female problem is j u A,

466
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: why I didn't do it? I see your Harper Why

467
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: that see here Harper face? I saw this because why

468
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: come on your face? That's a great point. You know

469
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: what we're what we're attempting to do here is not

470
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: build it off just my celebrity and the idea saying leverages.

471
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: You know here here is this is I want to

472
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: be taken seriously as a business owner and not just

473
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: some celeb who people think they slapped his name on

474
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 1: a product. Stop. Now, this is what I do. This

475
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: is what I do branding and marketing. Now, I see

476
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: Jenner for Little Pears. I see all these stars out

477
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 1: here on these face Beyonce. But you know the difference.

478
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: The difference difference is they don't make their products. They're

479
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: just they're they're just private labeling. Absolutely, this is true.

480
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: I'm manufacted this, it is my manufacturing company. It's my

481
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm manufactured. All in the USA were jobs and and

482
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: so I'm not private labeling this product. That's why I

483
00:26:55,600 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: have control over all the made in some fact Hill

484
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: Harper label on it. This is my company UM and

485
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: and my partners, and we manufactured at our manufacturing company.

486
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: And so that's why I'm so proud. And that's why

487
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: it's like, folks, if you want, if you want something

488
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: good to support, this is the story. That's what I'm telling.

489
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,479
Speaker 1: And and also I'll make this point. I met with

490
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: an expert can't care and and I wanted his advice,

491
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: just like all of us, we need advice and help

492
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: along our our journey. And he told me Hill, he said,

493
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,760
Speaker 1: at this price point, you're gonna fail. Because why do

494
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: you say that? He said, well, what you don't realize

495
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: is that in the skincare area, people have been brained brainwashed.

496
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: And I said, what do you mean brainwash? He said, well,

497
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 1: people believe that if it's not expensive, it can't be good.

498
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: Then he broke out this little one ounce thing, a

499
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: little thing of oil uh things, you know. He calls

500
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: it a serum, and he said how much do you

501
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 1: He said, how much do you think it cost me

502
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: to make this serum? I said, I have no idea.

503
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: He said, well, how much you do I charge for?

504
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: I said, well, on the box right here, says Manufacturradition

505
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: rep Tales says, he that's how much we charge for.

506
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: And he says it's my best seller. I said, well,

507
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: how much does it cost? He says, it costs me

508
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: two dollars and ninety seven cents and and half of

509
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: that is the gold packaging and the bottle. And I said,

510
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: are you kidding me? He said, yeah, that's my margin.

511
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: I said, that's fantastic. But you know what, here's the deal. Um,

512
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,240
Speaker 1: I believe in my people that once they get educated

513
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: about how you how you all are ripping them off here, um,

514
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: how you all are are literally you know the new

515
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: snake oil salesman, that they'll they'll they'll they'll read the ingredients,

516
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: they'll understand that there's healthy there. I'm providing a healthy

517
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 1: product at a great price, and they'll buy my product.

518
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: And so maybe I'm taking the tortoise approach, the long

519
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: term approach, because listen, me, giving away is a big

520
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: hit because my margins aren't that high in this In

521
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: this case, I'm keeping my costs low to let people

522
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: purchase a product that they deserve to have a healthy

523
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 1: alternative at the same price point as the luber dorms

524
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: and as the other price lie. You know, they don't.

525
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 1: They shouldn't have to pay fifty dollars for a conditioner.

526
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: You know which most organic conditions forty dollars for. You know,

527
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 1: here's the You don't have to do that. You can

528
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: purchase my product Hill Harper dot com, be the architect

586
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: and math. And my daughter, my daughter is a first

587
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,440

00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: ceo entertainment. I go, my degree in math. They go, man, right,

611
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 1: who said that? Who said that? It was black? Do

612
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 1: in the corner his degree and Mad he's standing. Yeah,

613
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 1: he's standing on there by himself because everybody afraid to

614
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: talk to him. Afraid to talk to him. He might

615
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: ask them quite crazy or something like that. Something. It's

616
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 1: a beautiful thing. But I will tell you I am

617
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: flawed though. This is why I have to give you

618
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 1: mad respect this time. Because your degree is an engineering correct. Yes,

619
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: my undergraduate degree, my BS is an electrical engineer, and

620
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: my master's degree is in Telecommunications and Networking engineer. Now,

621
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: first of all, you didn't even have to go to

622
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: the next level. First, of all. You know, you know,

623
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,919
Speaker 1: see I hate people who extra answer, who answer, hey,

624
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 1: I worked hard for that. I worked hard for that.

625
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: You have to make your folks know, Stephanie, you asked

626
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 1: your answering. Okay, I just mentioned my little minor. Okay, okay,

627
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna show him this way, this way. He asked

628
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: me with my degree he was on, he was on

629
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 1: that bicicle, whether to rotate, whether to rotate? I said,

630
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 1: my degree in math or the mind and sociality? Said really, okay,

631
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: when as we both did on thing, you know, Okay,

632
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you why I didn't do my thing

633
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,680
Speaker 1: because I wanted to have a degree in engineer. But

634
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: that physics love, and it'll get to that's that's the

635
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: that's the that's the equalizers. Physics. Girl. I kid, you

636
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: not change my life. I know, I know it, I

637
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 1: know it. I know I can remember. Um, I had

638
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: to take two semesters or physics, and I can remember

639
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,839
Speaker 1: that first semester. I said, you know what, I'm gonna

640
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 1: get an A in this class if it killed me

641
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: and everybody around me and my roommate nine we both

642
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: were taking it at the same time. And I mean

643
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: I had I ain't never studied so hard in my life.

644
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: I tell you, it killed me. Okay, it killed me

645
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: so bad, Stephanie. I have a degree in math and

646
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 1: very proud of it. I'm very proud of because what

647
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: happens is I always tell people, don't force who you

648
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 1: are trying to be who you supposed to be. I

649
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: was never supposed even in high school. My teachers all

650
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: not always tell me you're just a natural and man.

651
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 1: And it wasn't that I got to college gud. I

652
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: thought I wanted to go here. I remember what I

653
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: was in civil engineering. Then I went to mechanical engineering,

654
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: then I went to economics, I went to everything, and

655
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: then I just came back and went the man. And

656
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:48,160
Speaker 1: it was like I just I blew through it so

657
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,240
Speaker 1: fast it was ridiculous. So so I just knew that

658
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: I was trying to be something just that I wasn't.

659
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,720
Speaker 1: And then God allowed me to mature and not drop

660
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: out because I'm one of those people who see it through.

661
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: You asked me to start something, I'm gonna see it

662
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: to the end. And that's why I really respect you

663
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: and I really appreciate you, and I wanted to just

664
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: get those conversational moments out about you, because we're gonna

665
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,280
Speaker 1: play this back on our Heart Radio, my popular podcast,

666
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,400
Speaker 1: and get this out and send you, uh you know,

667
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: a version of this interview so you can play it

668
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 1: back on your social media. But it's important that still

669
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,920
Speaker 1: is the difference maker about anything in life. You know,

670
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a it's an engender, it's a

671
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: different maker and racial breakdown. You just gotta put the

672
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 1: time in and understand the value. And that's why I

673
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: wanted to move to the next level. How to prepare

674
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 1: yourself for a career in tech? I want to let's

675
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 1: get that rolling, and if you wrap that up, we're

676
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: gonna go to break and then wanta come back and

677
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: we'll talk some more with my friendly neighborhood tech person.

678
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: But explain how how how do you prepare yourself for

679
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: a career in technology? Well, I think you have to

680
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 1: really immerse yourself in it. You have to understand that

681
00:37:58,200 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: you know, whatever area you us to go into, and

682
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: especially if it's gonna be technology and coding, you have

683
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: to do that thing. You know most days. I won't

684
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: I won't go as far as to say every single day,

685
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: but you have to do that thing most days, and

686
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: you need to be a student of it, and you

687
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 1: need to understand that you're you may or you may

688
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: not get it right away. And I think that's where

689
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: a lot of us um go to the left, because

690
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: when you don't get those concepts, these are these are

691
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: complex concepts that you know, can all be broken down

692
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: into their simplest parts, but at the beginning it might

693
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: seem like, you know, a huge thing, and if you

694
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: don't get it right away, that discourages a lot of

695
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: people right out the gate because they think it's something

696
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: that's just you know, too hard for them. They're just

697
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 1: not smart enough. And it really does just require repetition,

698
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: you know. That's the beautiful thing about math. Math is

699
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: always the same too for us. Two is four all

700
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,399
Speaker 1: around the world, you know, and if it's something else

701
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,360
Speaker 1: right there. Uh So, it's like the the concepts once,

702
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, once they're broken down or so simple that

703
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: you just but you just have to stick with it

704
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: because it's not gonna be obvious to most people. I mean,

705
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: you had that that proclivity right out the game, you know,

706
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 1: but some of us got to study a little harder.

707
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 1: Some of us gotta work a little harder, but in

708
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: that moment when it clicks, you'll always have it because

709
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: it's always the same and it's always transferable. So it's like,

710
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, the one thing I would tell anybody, you

711
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 1: know first before anything else. It's just hang in there.

712
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: We have you know, especially girls. Girls get so frustrated

713
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: and they get you know, they think maybe it's just

714
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: not for me, maybe this is something only the boys

715
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: can do or or whatever. So just hang in there

716
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: and stick with it, and it will click. It will

717
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 1: eventually click, but you gotta do the work that's important.

718
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: We'll be right back with more friendly neighborhood tech expert.

719
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 1: That's my girl, Stephanie Humphrey. Don't go nowhere. We're on

720
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: a roll now. I got a personality way up here.

721
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: She's swinging through buildings. No she's not. She's a tech expert.

722
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,879
Speaker 1: She doesn't need to swing through building. She just serves

723
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: through all the buildings. Did you to leave with that?

724
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: Cool right there, Stephanie, be right back. We're back. Step there,

725
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 1: you're back. I'm back. Come on, you didn't go nowhere?

726
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: Did you come on? Now? Thank you very much? Tell

727
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: us before we get started, tell us a little bit

728
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 1: about your goals with this whole tech expert because of

729
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: the fact that technology is not going in and where.

730
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,440
Speaker 1: You know, when when the iPhone came out eight years ago,

731
00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: it changed everybody's life. You know, I was growing up.

732
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,919
Speaker 1: We had to Dick Tracy phone and we all thought

733
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: that was a joke and not reality, you know what

734
00:40:55,080 --> 00:40:58,439
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So so, but now it's kind of affects

735
00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: us us in a lot of ways because it's infect

736
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 1: It affects the way we treat our employees because you

737
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: can send a text off hours or you're sending an

738
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 1: email off hours, and sometimes you, as an employee, don't

739
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: know who should you respond. We're always connected, that's the

740
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: thing when everybody is all because of technology today, we

741
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 1: are all always connected. But even with that capability, you know,

742
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:27,279
Speaker 1: I I am always surprised at you know how anxious

743
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,240
Speaker 1: technology makes people. You know, if you're not that person

744
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: that just loves it and then you're gonna stayd in

745
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: line overnight for the new iPhone, you know. There you're

746
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,919
Speaker 1: usually pretty anxious about the changes that are coming because

747
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: they're coming so quickly. Every day is something new every day,

748
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: it's a new app, every day. It's a new social

749
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: network every day, you know, it's it's something new. So

750
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: most people, most of the people I talk to, are

751
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: very anxious about what technology actually is, what it can do.

752
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: They're worried about their privacy, They're worried about security. You know,

753
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 1: Equifax just got hacked, and and happy and read information

754
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: is out there in the in the in the cloud

755
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 1: right now. So you know what I want to do

756
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,839
Speaker 1: ultimately and what I tell people that I do when

757
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: they when I say I'm a techn life exper and

758
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, what is that. I just show people

759
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: how technology makes your life easier. That that is literally

760
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: all I do and I and I want to do that,

761
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: uh on the on the biggest platform that I can.

762
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: You know, I want to reach as many people as

763
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: I can. I just want to help people understand that

764
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: it's not something that you necessarily need to fear. You know,

765
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: they're you know, there are AI and robot things happening,

766
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: you know behind curtains that that we may have to

767
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 1: concern ourselves with coming up going down the line. But

768
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 1: but for the average person on an everyday basis, you know,

769
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 1: technology is here for you. You know, it's here to

770
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 1: to you know, make your life more efficient, to give

771
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,440
Speaker 1: you some of your time back, to save you some money,

772
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 1: you know, all of these different things. So I just

773
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: want to help people understand how it can do that. Well,

774
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 1: you know, I'm really ready to hop into a driverless car.

775
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm really ready now, you know. I mean I'm emotionally

776
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: ready for that, you know, So just pull up up,

777
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: I just sit in and just take off. I'm ready

778
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: for that. I can actually see that happening. You know,

779
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: they got cars they parked themselves. Oh no, it's definitely

780
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: happening already. There are cars on the road in Las Vegas.

781
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: There are cards self driving cars on the road in Pittsburgh.

782
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,240
Speaker 1: There are a couple of cities that have been test

783
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,799
Speaker 1: market for this technology for for quite some time now,

784
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: so they're already out there. Actually, I don't know if

785
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: if we're ready to all just hop in the backseats

786
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: of cars with with no one driving them. Um. I

787
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: think I think that technology still has a little bit,

788
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,800
Speaker 1: a little bit more ways to go, but it's coming.

789
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see it for public transportation first.

790
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna see self driving buses before we

791
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 1: see self driving cars, like before we see individuals just

792
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: in cars that drive themselves. I think we'll see I'll

793
00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 1: just tell them about slowly down on there on the

794
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: self driving and buses. See, I can't be in a

795
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,920
Speaker 1: bus with a bunch of crazy people and nobody driving.

796
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 1: I'm just sorry. They're gonna make me nervous there. I

797
00:44:08,920 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: gotta slow you down sometimes because see I was talking

798
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,360
Speaker 1: about being in a car by myself. You know what

799
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I don't have nobody screaming, ain't got no babies,

800
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,280
Speaker 1: ain't nobody hitting the wrong stop at the wrong time stop.

801
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I've been on the bus

802
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 1: like that. I'm thinking. I know I've come from the neighborhood.

803
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: I wrote the bus. I wrote this to you know,

804
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: on that bus, and some people that shouldn't be on

805
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 1: the bus with you. You know that people shouldn't right

806
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: and shouldn't be sitting next to you. I've had some

807
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,400
Speaker 1: people sitting next to me and I actually had to

808
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: get up. But I also had people sitting next to me.

809
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: I was nervous about getting up because the causequences of

810
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,360
Speaker 1: their reaction to me getting up they sitting down. Okay,

811
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 1: I might have to ride this. We had to work.

812
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: We had to work. The kicks out technology for the

813
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: self driving buses will be here, suitor rather than later.

814
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,440
Speaker 1: It's really great. Now you made a statement. You're saying

815
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 1: that the technology, uh makes our life better. Explain that.

816
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 1: Explain that to me. I believe it does. I mean,

817
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sitting here on a on a computer

818
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: that I can hold in my hand, talking to you

819
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 1: right now. You know this, This wasn't possible ten years ago.

820
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: And and I'm actually while I'm doing that, I'm watching you.

821
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you and your lovely suit and your

822
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: blue shirt, you know, broadcasting this across the social network

823
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: that has two billion, three billion users off me, so

824
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: you know it. This is what I mean. It connects

825
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: us all. It kind of shrinks the world a little bit.

826
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,280
Speaker 1: It makes everybody a global citizen, you know. And again

827
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,919
Speaker 1: it can save you money. You can download apps that

828
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: you know have coupons and and and can find you

829
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: discount and different stuff like that, and and and it

830
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 1: just it gives you your time back as well. I

831
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 1: have an Apple in my fife. I can remember, um,

832
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: a couple of years back when I first started doing

833
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: tech on television, I talked about this app called Hearing

834
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,480
Speaker 1: Reward and what it does is and there are a

835
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:02,280
Speaker 1: lot of apps out there now like it at this point,

836
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: But at that time, you know, I used to have

837
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: this little wallet, a separate little wallet that all of

838
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: my Plastic Rewards cards were in. I had. I had

839
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 1: so many, you know, for the gym, and for every

840
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,359
Speaker 1: different grocery store that I went into, and for you know,

841
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: Altra and and all these different things that you get

842
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 1: these discounts when you let them scan these little pieces

843
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: of plastic. I had a separate wallet for that that

844
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: I would have to dig out of my purse and

845
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 1: find that particular card for that particular store to get

846
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 1: that discount. And when I discovered this app that you

847
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 1: can scan all of those cards into the app and

848
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 1: then let them stand your phone, you know what I mean,

849
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:42,520
Speaker 1: Like something like that. It's it sounds small and it

850
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 1: seems like not that big a deal, but that's life changing.

851
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:49,479
Speaker 1: That is quite literally life changing. Now that you don't

852
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 1: have to have MAD because I didn't know about that,

853
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm and you'll be taking all of you you've got,

854
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 1: all the more plastic things go on. You'll keep ring

855
00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 1: looking like a janitor and try to find the right one,

856
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: and all you need is your fault. I eat. You're

857
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: not supposed to go here. Now your conversation is not

858
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: supposed to make me mad. This conversation, it's not. It's

859
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 1: that matters. So that you're happy because now you now

860
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: you've found a way to get some of your time back,

861
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,720
Speaker 1: but you're not searching for that little police of plastic

862
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 1: that you've had. You left it at home the day

863
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: so you got all this stuff in your card and

864
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 1: you can't save the five percent. You know. It's it's

865
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,279
Speaker 1: just it's too much. It's too much. So if so

866
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: whatever we can use technology for to make things go

867
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:42,080
Speaker 1: a little bit smoother for us, I'm going for it. Now.

868
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 1: Now you're talking about a couple of things I want

869
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: to talk about. Was the cybersecurity, which is which is

870
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 1: you know, not having a patchword one, two, three four

871
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: right right? Or your birthday or you know your mama's

872
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: your mama's middle name. You know what I'm saying. You

873
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: know because it's because you know and not and not

874
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: being so familiar that people can because you know, if

875
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 1: you if somebody gets access to your email address and

876
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: they know your favorite color, your favorite food, your favorite dog,

877
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: your best friend. These are these are typical what's city

878
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: you was born in. They can actually crack into your

879
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:25,919
Speaker 1: cyber world. Absolutely, it's not hard to do. It's and

880
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: and and unfortunately, you know, human nature being what it is,

881
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,319
Speaker 1: we usually give up that information ourselves. You know, you

882
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,279
Speaker 1: can somebody can send you an email and it can

883
00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 1: look very very close to what email that your bank

884
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 1: might send you with with one little letter off or

885
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 1: one word you know different, or maybe the colors aren't

886
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 1: exactly the same in the logo, but you're not paying

887
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 1: attention to that, and you don't set these people your

888
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 1: account number. You know, most of the hacks that happened,

889
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: even the major hacks, happened through what's called social engineering.

890
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: You know, these are just well trying different things with

891
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: other people, trying to get them to give up some information,

892
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 1: you know, and and they'll say, you know, um, we

893
00:49:09,239 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: think there's something there's something happening with your account. Can

894
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: you can you give us, you know, to reply with

895
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: your social Security number or reply with your account numbers

896
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: so we can make sure. And you know, companies will

897
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: never ever do that. They will never call you and

898
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:25,440
Speaker 1: ask you to give that type of information on the phone.

899
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: They will never email you and ask for you to

900
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: give that type of information over your phone. So we unfortunately,

901
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, do a lot of this to ourselves. Um

902
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: So it's always you know, incumbent upon us to, like

903
00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: you said, make sure those passwords are are lockdown. Do

904
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: the password manager. I use last pass exactly. You know,

905
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: let let that generate the password for you and log

906
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: into your stuff for you so you don't have to

907
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,879
Speaker 1: keep remembering to change it and and coming up with

908
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,319
Speaker 1: you know, strong passwords. So you know, there's a lot

909
00:49:54,440 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: we can do ourselves, uh to to keep ourselves more

910
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: secure online. And and it just start with, you know,

911
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: honestly a little bit of common sense. Well guess what,

912
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 1: we all don't have commonsense, Rashan McDonald don't have commonsention.

913
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,040
Speaker 1: So I have to extend myself because I have. I'm

914
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 1: something I've done the one, two or three four before. Okay,

915
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: I've had my I had my address on my on

916
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: my on my checking account, I've had my identity stolen.

917
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna just tell you this. I have to

918
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: tell people this because see, people think that certain people

919
00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: don't don't don't qualify for crimes, so don't qualify for

920
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 1: being stupid. And I have to let my listeners and

921
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 1: viewers know that I have a I have a legacy

922
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:44,480
Speaker 1: of stupid in my life that don't repeat your stupidity.

923
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:47,000

924
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to have you on the show, because then

925
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:50,759

00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 1: people you gotta keep advertising. I keep telling people I

928
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 1: don't have time for that. Change my password right in

929
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:04,680
Speaker 1: the same pass years. You know how you know how

930
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: much time it's gonna take to try to get your

931
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: identity back, you know, like if you don't have time

932
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 1: to change your password, just thinking how much time you're

933
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: gonna need to go to every account and go to

934
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: all three credit reporting agencies and and maybe even follow

935
00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: a police report if necessary. Like the time that it

936
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: takes to get your identity and some people never get

937
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,800
Speaker 1: it back some time, some people years and years and years.

Speaker 1: East Side. And so I love New York. It was

990
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: an experience, but it's also a place where is so

991
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: a land of opportunities, and it's just so many people.

992

Speaker 1: And and here I see you. I read read your resume,

993
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:53,319

994
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:57,520

995
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: in business for nineteen years in the biggest city on

996
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:05,919

997
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,879
Speaker 1: I can't let you just let that slide. Can see

998
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:09,560
Speaker 1: a lot of people haven't been up to New York.

999
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: I know exactly where you at fifty seventh Street, because

1000
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 1: I stayed at the London Hotel down there on the

1001
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,040
Speaker 1: other end, on the west side, so I know exactly

1002
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,760
Speaker 1: where you at. So so you said, N eighteen years. Okay,

1003
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: N eighteen years, how do be could we have two

1004
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:26,960
Speaker 1: nice breaks? So I'm gonna slow it down because I

1005
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,520
Speaker 1: want to know your journey because you know you you

1006
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,320
Speaker 1: you come from Flint. And guess what. Flint is a

1007
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,480
Speaker 1: town that's been ravaged because of the fact that the

1008
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: car industry moved away. And we all know what happened

1009
00:55:39,160 --> 00:55:42,919
Speaker 1: recently with Flint history, but that was way before your time,

1010
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: right after your time. So how do you take that energy?

1011
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:49,919
Speaker 1: And you, you know you're talking about we're talking about

1012
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: on a city block, can be as many people in Flint,

1013
00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: Michigan on a given day in New York City. So

1014
00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 1: tell me how did you overcome that? I can. I

1015
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: can do it here. I can make it here because

1016
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: that stops a lot of people. I know, you know

1017
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,960
Speaker 1: just I. It all starts with passion. I have wanted

1018
00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,720
Speaker 1: to be a dentist at the age of fifteen years old.

1019
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:20,600
Speaker 1: Industry changed my life. And when I got bracest and

1020
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:24,360
Speaker 1: realized the power, the power of a smile, it just

1021
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:26,800
Speaker 1: changed my life. And so I wanted to be a dentist.

1022
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,879
Speaker 1: I didn't have to sign my journey. I just went

1023
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 1: for it, despite not having a family with a lot

1024
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: of money. My entire family was the general motors. But

1025
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: it was something to me that said I had to

1026
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,920
Speaker 1: be a dentist because I wanted to change the world

1027
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:45,400
Speaker 1: by changing someone else's smile, like my smile was changed. UM.

1028
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,640
Speaker 1: I went to University of Michigan undergrad plange a k A.

1029
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: Go blue hey behind ya, don't pass by dot and

1030
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: go to the university there Maryland, where I had a

1031
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: lot of support as a young dental student that was

1032
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,920
Speaker 1: African Americans. They prided them sales or graduating a lot

1033
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: of black dentists. And when when it was time to

1034
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 1: practice my UH dentistry, I said, let me go to

1035
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: the big city. Let me go to New York just

1036
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: for a year to test it out. And when I

1037
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 1: got here in nineties six, hip hop was popped in,

1038
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,360
Speaker 1: comedy was popped in UH. There was a lot of

1039
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: opportunities and at the time, in nineties ninety eight, there

1040
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 1: weren't anybody that there weren't other dentirets that looked like me.

1041
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 1: So people are like w you're black, you're female, you're

1042
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: in your twenties, like, don't go back to Michigan, don't

1043
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: go back to Baltimore. Stay here because we'll support you.

1044
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: And I didn't know. I didn't not have any money

1045
00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 1: at all. I was probably a hundred thousand dollars in debt.

1046
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,560
Speaker 1: But I knew that that I wanted to stay here

1047
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: because I felt comfortable and I loved music. I love entertainment,

1048
00:57:57,760 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: I always have. So I thought that I would marry

1049
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 1: the two my love for entertainment and my love for dentistry.

1050
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 1: And I started hanging out at this comedy club called

1051
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:14,040
Speaker 1: the Boston Comedy Club, Comedy Downtown in the village. Come underground,

1052
00:58:14,040 --> 00:58:20,200

1053
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:22,240

1054
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: money for five dollars every Sunday talent will. And then

Speaker 1: people became my friends. So I'm like, Oprah, I have

00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 1: Puffy's restaurant, and I told him that I was a dentist.

1064
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: I interrupted his dis His general said, I'm a dentist.

1065
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: If you don't have anybody to work on you and

1066
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: be your dentist, I would love to be your dentist.

1067
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: And he looked at me and he told me to

1068
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:06,920
Speaker 1: sit down and have dinner with him. And that was

1069
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 1: the best move ever. He became my first celebrity client

1070
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 1: and I took off from there. He gave me his

1071
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 1: mailing list, he took me to the Grammys, to the

1072
00:59:16,600 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 1: I Could Poke, a Black Film Festival, started introducing me

1073
00:59:19,720 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: to people, and when I found the space on fifty

1074
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: seven Street and it all just came together. Well, I

1075
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: think I love about your story is secondly is that you.

1076
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: It's something about the word dentists that they they're supposed

1077
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: to look a certain way. Okay, we sposed address a

1078
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 1: certain way, and they're supposed to I wants used the

1079
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: word act, but you know, but you you you are

1080
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 1: just a regular person. And that's what I think threw

1081
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:50,240
Speaker 1: everybody off, you know. You know then it's not supposed

1082
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: to be a member of a sorority. You know what

1083
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying that it's not supposed to be African America.

1084
00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:55,920
Speaker 1: That's what you don't see on TV, That's what you

1085
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: don't traditional value. So so I feel you used that

1086
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 1: to your advantage, that unique and that that that's why everybody,

1087
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, you immediately got everybody's a tick you when

1088
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:09,920
Speaker 1: you told him you was a dentist. Huh exactly. And

1089
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: at the time, like I didn't look out, I probably

1090
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: look like I was still look young man, you look great, right,

1091
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: thank you. When so when Isaac saw me and I'm

1092
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 1: interrupting his dinner talking about I'm a dentist, he was like,

1093
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: I gotta and understand who this lady is. He tried

1094
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: to calculate years, you know, he trying to go, Okay,

1095
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: you gotta go four years and then another four years

1096
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: to get your teeth approved. Okay, where is she? What

1097
01:00:38,560 --> 01:00:40,960
Speaker 1: is this this? What is this young woman to apply? Because

1098
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,000
Speaker 1: she you know, when you when you when you're ask me,

1099
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:44,720
Speaker 1: because I asked people to sit down to when they

1100
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 1: when they come to me with incredible stories, I go, Okay,

1101
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 1: what you're not gonna do is trick me out. Okay,

1102
01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:52,040
Speaker 1: just pass this car and walk off like I'm some

1103
01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: Willie Foo food. And so so that was important that

1104
01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: you did that because that allowed you to align yourself

1105
01:00:58,520 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 1: with what, guess what a leg a legend. You know,

1106
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 1: that makes me an hour to make the decision to

1107
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 1: interest his dinner. But for me, even to this day,

1108
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 1: people are people and everybody needs a dentist. Everybody has tea.

1109
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: So you never know who will need your services. You

1110
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 1: never know who will get that opportunity. I was just

1111
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: taking a chance and I took the courage to to

1112
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: go up to him and it worked. Okay, let's let's

1113
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 1: let's talk about a couple of awards as you've gotten here,

1114
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 1: because I think it's important because you know you can

1115
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:34,760
Speaker 1: do Once you start hanging out with celebrities are doing,

1116
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 1: you can get caught up in that hype. You know,

1117
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,800
Speaker 1: did you just you know you're not really that good?

1118
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 1: Usually great relationships. Well in you were voted top twenty

1119
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: five women in Dentistry list. Yes, yes, such a great honor. Um.

1120
01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: I you know, for me, I always try to think

1121
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: outside to box so and be a trailblazers. So over

1122
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: my you is. I became the first person to incorporate

1123
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 1: HIV testing in my gentle office. So when you come

1124
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: for just routine checkup and cleaning, you get that swath

1125
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: in your mouth, walk out and know your results. I

1126
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:16,960
Speaker 1: have right now working with getting the information about the

1127
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: connection between diabetes and oral health because diabetics is actually

1128
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: this much as National Diabetes funth um fin us with

1129
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 1: up my next book on the relationship and the important

1130
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: links between diabetes and oral health. So I'm always out

1131
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 1: there really trying to find different ways to elevate my

1132
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: career and elevate the people's knowledge. Just like Hill Harper

1133
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: was on talking about carcinogens and our product. We we

1134
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 1: have to educate our people. So I always try to

1135
01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: be a leader and be on top of the game

1136
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,920
Speaker 1: and just bring you guys to information because health is wealth,

1137
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 1: and without your health you have nothing else. You can't

1138
01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 1: go to work, you can't take care of the kids,

1139
01:02:58,320 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: you can't do all of those things. And the mouth

1140
01:03:00,800 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 1: gets overlooked a lot. So that's my journey. I'm gonna

1141
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 1: keep pounding at it. I hope to get more awards

1142
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:09,360
Speaker 1: and the award worthy because I'm in this to be

1143
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:14,040
Speaker 1: like the doctor Odds of Dentistry. Come on now, doctor

1149
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: That's the next step for you. Because I'm gonna tell

1150
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: you something and you know this, you know this, and

1151
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:39,600
Speaker 1: then you know you have a you're an attractive young lady. Okay,

1152
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,200
Speaker 1: you have a personality. Okay, we know you got good teeth. Okay,

1153
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: we know that got good teach. People talk about my

1154
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: gap like I'm not you know, like I'm imperfect. But okay,

1155
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 1: now Michael straighthand okay, we can just stop talking. Okay,

1156
01:03:54,600 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: Michael straighthand making a lot of money and that's part

1157
01:03:57,680 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: of his logo. Now that's part of his brain now,

1158
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 1: that gap. So and because because you can't allow what

1159
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: other people per seve as flaws. You know, don't don't look,

1160
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:09,280
Speaker 1: you know, people consider being black and flaw. You know

1161
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And you just gotta be in a

1162
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: position to understand and value yourself and make yourself worthy worthy.

1163
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: And that's what I love about your story because of

1164
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: the fact that Flip Michigan didn't stop you. Coming home

1165
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 1: to New York with a hundred thousand dollars in debt,

1166
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:31,840
Speaker 1: didn't stop you walking up to strangers selling yourself, didn't

1167
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 1: stop you. You have the courage. What do I say?

1168
01:04:35,240 --> 01:04:38,000
Speaker 1: How do I start this conversation? What if he tells me?

1169
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:41,520
Speaker 1: Know what if I get embarrassed? All those all those

1170
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 1: doors you walk through and you continue to walk through.

1171
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 1: And that's why it's important you know that you're a spokesperson,

Speaker 1: a brand spokeperson for Covie. These look I gotta I

1190
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, in your career and what you're trying to do.

1191
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 1: You know, first of all, your inspiration to women, let's

1192
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,960
Speaker 1: don't get that out the way. Your inspiration to your sorority,

1193
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:29,120
Speaker 1: let's get that out of the way. So what what

1194
01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: when you when you when you're an inspiration or motivating

1195
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 1: figure or mentor how does that allow you to be

1196
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,760

1197
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: represent the brand that you built. You know, I try

1198
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 1: to be as authentic as as possible, Um, because I

1199
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: have competitors that project themselves that they are, you know,

1200
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 1: this certain level, and they only fly private, I projected.

1201
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 1: I am I am Katris Austin, just regular person, but

1202

Speaker 1: I have a message in a service to get to you. Um.

1203
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 1: So the best thing that I can do for anybody

1204
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 1: that I'm trying to help as a mentor is just

1205
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: to be as authentic as possible, because that's aught like, oh,

1206
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:24,080
Speaker 1: I can't I don't even know how to be fair

1207
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:29,400
Speaker 1: uh um um. And I I just recently spoke at

1208
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Savannah State University to uh some pre dental students, and

1209
01:07:34,240 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: I realized that there are so many people. It's the

1210
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 1: students that have goals and they don't have the answers

Speaker 1: in the industry, so that I'm not the last one. Well,

1221
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,360
Speaker 1: that's important to say that though. That's important to say

1222
01:08:16,400 --> 01:08:18,799
Speaker 1: that because of the fact that you create your legacy.

1223
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: Now your legacy and you and your journey, and a

1224
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: lot of people understand how important that is it is. Um.

1225
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: Steve Harvey says something like on Oprah, he wont his

1226
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 1: grandchildren's grandchildren to know his name, and I want that

1227
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 1: same thing. I want everybody to know something about Katrise

1228
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 1: Austin and what she did for the dental industry. And

1229
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 1: still during the day. Let me ask you this. A

1230
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:47,959
Speaker 1: couple of things that are real popular now. Teeth whitening,

1231
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:53,400
Speaker 1: oh number one, number one requested cosnetic enhancement procedure in

1232
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:59,480
Speaker 1: my office. Very easy to do. Um it is generally

1233
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:03,719
Speaker 1: safe as long as you don't have gum disease and cavities. Um.

1234
01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:07,560
Speaker 1: It's done in as quickly as an hour in our office.

1235
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 1: Um Uh. You can get up to six to eight

1236
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 1: shades whider. So you can literally do this on your

1237
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 1: lunch period. I tell you one hour and you will

1238
01:09:19,479 --> 01:09:22,640
Speaker 1: walk out the door with wider teeth. Um. Now. I

1239
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: talked about this in my book called Get Smiled, which

1240
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: is on Amazon. Not everybody is a candidate for a whitening.

1241
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,080
Speaker 1: So I highly recommend that you go in and get

1242
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: a consultation and the teeth whitening analysis to make sure

1243
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: your teeth will take to the whitening process. What do

1244
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 1: you mean when you say that? What do you mean

1245
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 1: with you? I don't want to give one of your book,

1246
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 1: But what do you mean when you say that? Um? No, no,

1247
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:46,920
Speaker 1: So there's certain colors of teeth. Not if your teeth

1248
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:51,679
Speaker 1: have a grayish tone to us, a dark brown tone

1249
01:09:51,720 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: to it, it's not gonna really whiten to the whitest potential.

1250
01:09:56,800 --> 01:10:01,559
Speaker 1: It's their teeth are pure yellow color or off white color.

1251
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,360
Speaker 1: Then those they're the teeth that are most likely to

1252
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 1: get very very bright. So sometimes people get mad, they

1253
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 1: do whitening and then you don't see very much results

1254
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:13,719
Speaker 1: because your teeth were not the best type of candidate

1255
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,040
Speaker 1: for whitening. But you can't tell them that. Though you

1256
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:20,640
Speaker 1: can't tell them that, oh well they I can't. I

1257
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:22,840
Speaker 1: would have to do is tell you the truth where

1258
01:10:24,840 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: whitening doesn't work. That's where you get the porcels veneers,

1259
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,839
Speaker 1: which is what all the celebrities get because you're actually

1260
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: placing coorsemen over the front of the teeth, and that

1261
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:37,439
Speaker 1: can map those darker stains and you can really get

1262
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 1: the whitest of the whitest teeth. As you see some

1263
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: of the celebrities go over the top with it, I know,

1264
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: yeah too white white. I'm not gonna call out no names,

1265
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 1: but I'll be going like because I know him. You know, dude, yeah,

1266
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: your teeth are really white. Now, if you got an

1267
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:59,320
Speaker 1: album coming out, a movie coming out, and you need

1268
01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 1: your teeth to be right, then it's okay. But for

1269
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: the average person that comes to my office, I try

1270
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: to guide you on western was natural, and that's what

1271
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 1: I pride myself on as a cosmetic dentistry vent. I

1272
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 1: want your teeth to look natural when we do the

1273
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:18,080
Speaker 1: cosmetic dentistry. Otherwise it's not cosmetic. No, let me ask

1274
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:21,000
Speaker 1: you this. Because it's so popular. I hear commercials now

1275
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 1: on the radio. Now encourage people, come on in, get you,

1276
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: we got the we got we put the bling on

1277
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 1: your on your teeth, now make them white, bling, bling,

1278
01:11:29,160 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 1: bling it and so so everything kind of happens like that,

1279
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: you know, get everything gets in rhythm. You know. It's like,

1280
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. When I was growing up, boy,

1281
01:11:37,600 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: having a gold front teeth tooth boy, that was with

1282
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 1: a star on it. That was the that was the

1283
01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 1: that was the thing. That gold back tooth or something

1284
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 1: like that, or gold feeling. That was the craze. Now

1285
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:57,519
Speaker 1: the craze is white teeth. What did the system change

1286
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,160
Speaker 1: or did the new new, new new chemicals came out

1287
01:12:00,200 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 1: they were friendly. What made this sudden search for to

1288
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 1: be able to be promote and start branding that you

1289
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:10,320
Speaker 1: can make people's teeth wider and an affordable time frame? Well,

1290
01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:14,599
Speaker 1: I think that um people realize that your teeth age

1291
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 1: as you age is one of the easiest things that

1292
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:21,440
Speaker 1: you can do to make yourself look younger. So everybody's

1293
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 1: certainly searching for that fountain of youth and having the

1294
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: wider smile is one of the quickest things that you

1295
01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: could do to make your make your facial appearance with

1296
01:12:31,560 --> 01:12:38,440
Speaker 1: brighter and youthful. Yeah, and so now people are realizing

1297
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 1: the power of a smile can help you move on

1298
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: in your career and get promotion to you know, people,

1299
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 1: one of the first things that people will notice about you,

1300
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 1: it's you smile. Especially with the internet and profile pictures,

1301
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 1: you're getting judged on your appearance, and your smile has

1302
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: a big, big, big thing that you do with that.

1303
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,679
Speaker 1: So now people are paying more our attention on the smile.

1304
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 1: And uh so this last year has been incredible because

1305
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 1: I had the opportunity to change the smile of the

1306
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 1: how to stick in the game. Cardi B. Sirens going off.

1307
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 1: I think you're just bragging. You're just bragging. Did you did?

1308
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 1: You are the true dentist to the star. You got

1309
01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,680
Speaker 1: them young and old. You know what I'm saying. The

1310
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: thing about her is her her story was so incredible

1311
01:13:28,479 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 1: because you we all have all witnessed her transformation from

1312
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 1: being a reality star to a list on the cover

1313
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 1: of Rolling Song, and I would see that smile was

1314
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:44,479
Speaker 1: a big part of her transformation. Um So they about

1315
01:13:44,479 --> 01:13:46,600
Speaker 1: to say, you don't have to be a star. You

1316
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 1: can do little things like teeth writening your too. So

1317
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 1: let's let's name of a couple of more another couple

1318
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:56,400
Speaker 1: of a a lot of your stars you have on your roster.

1319
01:13:56,760 --> 01:14:03,800
Speaker 1: Anthony Anderson, d J colleague, Yeah, common we just talked

1320
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 1: about Cardi B. You just talked about her. Um buster rhymes,

1321
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:15,960
Speaker 1: no buster JB smooth, Karina smelled off. Wendy Williams know

1322
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 1: her car banks Now because you have so many celebrities,

1323
01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 1: how does that work when they come to your offer?

1324
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 1: Do you have a side door, back door, escape door?

1325
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 1: Because you know these people bring a crowd with them.

1326
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 1: You know they can walk in your office. Is somebody

1327
01:14:33,200 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 1: his social media and it's and it's a crowd waiting

1328
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:37,840
Speaker 1: now when they walk out the door. How does how

1329
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,719
Speaker 1: do you protect your client, your celebrity clients and also

1330
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 1: protect your everyday clients because you don't want to feel

1331
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 1: like they feel like they secondary or they feel they

1332
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 1: gotta wait of a celebrity walking, they got to go

1333
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:49,799
Speaker 1: back to the back of the line. That's a balance

1334
01:14:49,840 --> 01:14:53,000
Speaker 1: in act for you. Correct it is um you know,

1335
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:58,760
Speaker 1: I customize it to the patient's preference. Somebody like Anthony Anderson,

1336
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:02,599
Speaker 1: uh In, philp Cardi b will walk in common. They

1337
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: don't care. They are just so regular that they come

1338
01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: during normal business hours and they talk with the people

1339
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 1: if they feel like talking, and they don't mind coming

1340
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:16,160
Speaker 1: during regular business hours. Now they're callid and the bus

1341
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 1: the rhymes think my office hours started three am and

1342
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 1: that's when they come and I get up out of

1343
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 1: the bed and they go to the office and I

1344
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:28,160
Speaker 1: see them after they leave the studio. They prefer privacy,

1345
01:15:28,640 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: So I got uhh, I have different things. I I

1346
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:37,400
Speaker 1: basically have twenty four hours office hours for the celeb

1347
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:41,400
Speaker 1: so a lot of times they come in on office periods.

1348
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:44,599
Speaker 1: Put a lot of them come in during regular time. Okay, cool,

Speaker 1: the first company that I started in nineties six, and

1362
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 1: I changed the name to New York City Cosmetic in

1363
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 1: General Dentistry and then I just bold that business in August. UM.

1364
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 1: So I am of I am UM forever. I think

1365
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 1: branding is the most important thing that you can do.

1366
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't care if you don't own your own company.

1367
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 1: Within whatever company you work for, work on your brand,

1368
01:16:57,080 --> 01:17:00,400
Speaker 1: on who you are. So if you ever leave that

1369
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:04,639
Speaker 1: company that you people know your brand, you could walk

1370
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:07,160
Speaker 1: away with it. You can sell that couple. But but

1371
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 1: Dr Austin is walking with you. You can't duplicate me.

1372
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 1: You can't duplicate my brand. And that's important that you

1373
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 1: say that, because I talked to people about branding and

1374
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 1: marketing all the time, that that's important that you know,

1375
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: you know a difference. It's like fensance, you know, because

1376
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 1: we brought up Steve Harvey, named Steven so on so

1377
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,599
Speaker 1: many different TV shows. But people are watching Steve Harvey,

1378
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:34,599
Speaker 1: they're watching him, right, is the brand, He's the brand.

1379
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 1: And so with that being said, because we keep going

1380
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 1: back to TV with you, young lady, we keep going

1381
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:43,400
Speaker 1: back to TV. You know you so so, so what

1382
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:45,559
Speaker 1: type of what type of TV do you do you

1383
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: envision yourself being a part of. Let's go and get

1384
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:50,439
Speaker 1: that out. When people see your TV, they're gonna I

1385
01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 1: heard I said that don't reshan money, make conversation. Yes,

1386
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:58,639
Speaker 1: So what I envisioned is me doing what I do.

1387
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,639
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be on TV fighting with girlfriends who

1388
01:18:03,240 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: knocking somebody tooth out and then putting it right back in. Nope.

1389
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:13,400
Speaker 1: I do on my YouTube page what's called smile Stories,

1390
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 1: where I video tape UM from start to finish, the

1391
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 1: stories of some of my patients that come in, the

1392
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:23,360
Speaker 1: everyday person, not the celebrities, UM, the everyday person, the

1393
01:18:23,439 --> 01:18:26,840
Speaker 1: mother for the the Spelman student that flew in from

1394
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 1: Atlanta to get her teeth done because she wants to

1395
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:32,639
Speaker 1: be ready to be a lawyer. You know she can't

1396
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 1: in that courtroom, but messed up teeth. I have those

1397
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 1: kinds of smile stories, the gifts of a daughter giving

1398
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:41,759
Speaker 1: her mother a birthday gift to change or smile because

1399
01:18:41,760 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 1: she didn't feel confident. I want to show those stories

1400
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:47,960
Speaker 1: on TV. Can I share some of those stories? Can

1401
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:52,160
Speaker 1: I share something on my Facebook page? Yes? Yes, I

1402
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 1: would love that because those are because you know, I'm

1403
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 1: always looking for, you know, the shaming stories of people

1404
01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: I don't even know. You know, these good these good

1405
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 1: human your story. That's what that is. This is a

1406
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:04,639

01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 1: and I can help your brand. Let it allow me

1408
01:19:07,160 --> 01:19:11,400
Speaker 1: to do that. Okay, yeah, and so don't what happens

1409
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:14,919
Speaker 1: with those stories. The everyday hired working person gets inspired

1410
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: because they see that I work with celebrities. But then

1411
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:19,680
Speaker 1: you can see that I work with just as the

01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:30,479
Speaker 1: can finance it, and if there's a will, there's a way.

1415
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:33,360

1460
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:20,400
Speaker 1: know that God made me this way. God gave you

1461
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:24,520
Speaker 1: some extra values in your hair. You know you it's springy.

1462
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:27,800
Speaker 1: You got the bow tie, you have read. I want

1463
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:30,400
Speaker 1: you on there because you are a brand man, and

1464
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to every other other things. But you

1465
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 1: established yourself as a brand the very first day you

1466
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 1: came into the NFL. You knew exactly who you were.

1467
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 1: How is that? How? How did you figure it out?

1468
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 1: And how? And then it just extended and you just

1469
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:50,679
Speaker 1: built who you are, which is a renaissance man. Well,

1470
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:53,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think that who you are is determined

1471
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:58,240
Speaker 1: by the experiences, um that you've gone through and the

1472
01:22:58,280 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 1: people that that sort of accentuate the moments that you have, right,

1473
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 1: And I think I've very fortunate to have two wonderful

1474
01:23:06,080 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 1: parents that have around the world. They both we're in

1475
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:11,640
Speaker 1: the military still in celebration of Veterans Day, you know,

1476
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 1: I'd like to take my mom's Jones and my dad

1477
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,799
Speaker 1: Samuel Jones. And so I think that's at the stage

1478
01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: or um, my my life, my life plan, as you will.

1479
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:27,280
Speaker 1: But I think that the life plan, as I've said before,

1480
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:29,200
Speaker 1: with the in funds of people that are around you,

1481
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:32,720
Speaker 1: with the butt of the experiences, kind of allows that

1482
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:35,320
Speaker 1: to evolve. So like I didn't, I didn't know who

1483
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:37,800
Speaker 1: I was becoming. All I knew is that I was

1484
01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:40,400
Speaker 1: surrounded by great people that allowed me an opportunity to

1485
01:23:40,479 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 1: see different things and hear different things and be different

1486
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 1: ways which allowed me to experience different things, which sort

1487
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: of changed my outlook on life. And I would say

1488
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 1: from the from the bow time perspective, that was really

1489
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 1: just my my good friend to little John who just

1490
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:56,120
Speaker 1: allowed me to understand the power of the bow tie.

1491
01:23:56,120 --> 01:23:59,040
Speaker 1: And if I culminate the two and sort of put

1492
01:23:59,080 --> 01:24:03,680
Speaker 1: them together then created a magnificent m magnificent life. And

1493
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 1: I'm very blessed and honored to sort of be traveling

1494
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:11,280
Speaker 1: this path and and allow other brothers young and old,

1495
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,799
Speaker 1: sisters young and old to sort of come along this journey,

1496
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:16,960
Speaker 1: which I'm so fortunate to be a part of us.

1497
01:24:17,160 --> 01:24:18,840
Speaker 1: Now you grew up now because we got to talk

1498
01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:20,679
Speaker 1: about this boat tie a little bit, because I feel

1499
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 1: it's important because a lot of people, you know, uh,

1500
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:26,519
Speaker 1: you know, a shy away from standing up for who

1501
01:24:26,520 --> 01:24:28,679
Speaker 1: they really are because you grew up in the hip

1502
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 1: hop era, and we know the hip hop era sagging page.

1503
01:24:32,560 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: We know that. You know, it's kind of like I

1504
01:24:34,840 --> 01:24:36,760
Speaker 1: went to that phase. I had my parents kids to

1505
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:39,120
Speaker 1: add my MPT hammer pants back in the day. Oh

1506
01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,200
Speaker 1: you dropped him back with the boat Town. Come on,

1507
01:24:41,320 --> 01:24:45,200
Speaker 1: Mr Jones r R. That was that was my high

1508
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:48,080
Speaker 1: school phase. The boat I didn't episode, so I got

1509
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: to uh NFL. That was really a rookie year, right,

1510
01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,559
Speaker 1: absolutely understand the power of that bow tie. So yeah,

1511
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: so the both ties and and kids pads were definitely

1512
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 1: not in the same time. Friend life so so so

1513
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:05,400
Speaker 1: so you will still finding yourself and and and and

1514
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:08,360
Speaker 1: and right now, because I'll just leads to the reason

1515
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:10,840
Speaker 1: I say you're so interesting to me because you we're

1516
01:25:10,880 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 1: gonna talk about all the different shows you do, and

1517
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 1: then the worldliness of activities you do in investments and

1518
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 1: things like that, because because it seems like you just

1519
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 1: you allow yourself to experience the journey to the fullest

1520
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:25,400
Speaker 1: when it happens to you, you don't, you don't steer

1521
01:25:25,439 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 1: it away from it, and and my credit, you have

1522
01:25:29,240 --> 01:25:31,280
Speaker 1: to do. I think a lot of times people shut

1523
01:25:31,320 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: down the notion of saying yes because they're afraid of

1524
01:25:34,439 --> 01:25:37,800
Speaker 1: what that opportunity to might open themselves up to. Right

1525
01:25:37,880 --> 01:25:41,920
Speaker 1: It's about exposing yourself and being vulnerable to what's out there.

1526
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:44,880
Speaker 1: And I think that it's unfortunately when we're when we're

1527
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 1: young children, so we're open to so much more Older

1528
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,960
Speaker 1: and we close down some more things. But if the

1529
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 1: opportunities are more plentiful because we have more relationships that

1530
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 1: allow for them to happen. So I'm always of the

1531
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 1: opinion that as you get older, you should say yes

1532
01:25:59,240 --> 01:26:02,559
Speaker 1: more often times in order to sort of shape a

1533
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 1: little bit more and allow that idea that you've had

1534
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,639
Speaker 1: for a long period of time to crystallize and then

1535
01:26:07,760 --> 01:26:10,479
Speaker 1: start saying no once you've been able to identify. Because

1536
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 1: us as people, we will find ourselves multiple times during

1537
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:16,880
Speaker 1: the journey of life. It doesn't necessarily happen and one

1538
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:20,000
Speaker 1: fell swoop. Something might happen in your life. Dramatic, you

1539
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 1: mean a lot of different things. You know, I, You know,

1540
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 1: you could go from you know, being on his track

1541
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:27,400
Speaker 1: to being a pdtrac neuro classic surgeon, of which I was,

1542
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:29,040
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you get drafted, so

1543
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 1: you go into a new track. You play in the NFL,

1544
01:26:31,439 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you start doing more

1545
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 1: things in television and working things in business, and then

1546
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:40,320
Speaker 1: that's a new dramatic um sort of time in your life.

1547
01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 1: And then you go from that and then doing other things.

1548
01:26:42,200 --> 01:26:45,560
Speaker 1: You have several different occurrences that shape different opportunities of

1549
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:48,840
Speaker 1: your life. So keep saying yes, allow those crystallized to

1550
01:26:48,880 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 1: the point where then therefore you say no and allow

1551
01:26:51,400 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 1: those reasons of opportunity to come from different direction and

1552
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 1: really move towards them, don't move away from them. It's

1553
01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 1: so because you know you've you've lived a life of

1554
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 1: the nine stereotypes of being a part of your brain.

1555
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:06,560
Speaker 1: You know, as an African American, we only supposed to

1556
01:27:06,560 --> 01:27:09,760
Speaker 1: do certain things. As an athlete, you're only supposed to

1557
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,760
Speaker 1: be doing certain things. And then you had to investments,

1558
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 1: you hosting show, you articulate, you, you know, all these things.

1559
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:21,200
Speaker 1: I say these things to explain to the audience. How

1560
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 1: are you able to overcome in the stereotypes? I guess

1561
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:27,960
Speaker 1: I should say that, how have you been able at

1562
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:30,160
Speaker 1: each level of the way. How do you do that?

1563
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:33,880
Speaker 1: I think number one, it's about acknowledging what the stereotypes

1564
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 1: are and then sort of ingesting them and realizing, you know,

1565
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 1: the taste and the flavor and the texture of them.

1566
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:44,520
Speaker 1: And then once you are able to sort of fully

1567
01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:47,599
Speaker 1: sort of comprehend that of what your up against, now

1568
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:51,720
Speaker 1: you decisively decide how you was to attack them right.

1569
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:56,320
Speaker 1: And some some people consider attack these stereotypes with sort

1570
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:59,720
Speaker 1: of a non salant attitude, where it doesn't you know,

1571
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:01,400
Speaker 1: does it really matter? I just kind of go and

1572
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 1: do my thing. Other people are a little bit more

1573
01:28:03,560 --> 01:28:05,559
Speaker 1: strategic in the way they go about doing it. And

1574
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:07,719
Speaker 1: then something have a hybrid of a little bit of both,

1575
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 1: and I think from for me. You know, when I

1576
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:12,200
Speaker 1: got to the University of Michigan, that really set the

1577
01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:13,760
Speaker 1: stage for a lot of different things, and I had

1578
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:15,160
Speaker 1: to make a lot of tough choices. I mean, I

1579
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:17,640
Speaker 1: almost got kicked out my first day because I was

1580
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: arguing with the coach and I was arguing with the

1581
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:22,400
Speaker 1: leadership on the team. So I decided, right, okay, maybe

1582
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 1: I won't argue. Maybe right, So you've become a better player,

1583
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:29,519
Speaker 1: you get more, you get more kudos, and therefore you

1584
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:32,519
Speaker 1: get more leadership. Therefore you make more decisions. They have

1585
01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 1: to be a little bit strategic and at the same

1586
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 1: time a little bit nonchalant and kind of find which

1587
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 1: balance of which makes more sense for you because it's

1588
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:45,240
Speaker 1: it's it's more did you say that because of the

1589
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:47,640
Speaker 1: fact that a lot of people stand up at the

1590
01:28:47,680 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 1: wrong time. You know, everything's timing. You know. It's like

1591
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 1: I can I can tell you certain situations where I've

1592
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 1: opened my mouth at the wrong time and I understands,

1593
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:58,280
Speaker 1: not fully understands, they don't want to do that, not

1594
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:01,519
Speaker 1: fully understanding why opening my mouth? You know what I'm saying,

1595
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:03,760
Speaker 1: just just just wanna just want to I want to

1596
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 1: set the record straight with that, setting the record straight

1597
01:29:06,479 --> 01:29:09,479
Speaker 1: cost me an opportunity in my life. And I think

1598
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:11,960
Speaker 1: I feel that when I run into an individual like you,

1599
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:15,720
Speaker 1: who was so diverse with your lifestyle, so diverse with

1600
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:18,559
Speaker 1: your opportunities, that when you say that statement about look,

1601
01:29:18,560 --> 01:29:20,760
Speaker 1: when I got to Michigan, I kind of ran my

1602
01:29:20,800 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 1: mouth for a little bit too much, but I checked myself.

1603
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:27,760
Speaker 1: I stepped back, you know, and and and and a

1604
01:29:27,760 --> 01:29:30,839
Speaker 1: lot of people don't step back because some false pride

1605
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 1: or don't want to look bad. And that's why a

1606
01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:35,759
Speaker 1: lot of people in jail because they didn't step back.

1607
01:29:36,160 --> 01:29:38,480
Speaker 1: That's why a lot of people in situations and investments

1608
01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:40,719
Speaker 1: are a lot of people in the homeless homeless because

1609
01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:44,400
Speaker 1: of fact they didn't step back and evaluate what they're

1610
01:29:44,400 --> 01:29:47,200
Speaker 1: about to do with their next decision. And you did

1611
01:29:47,240 --> 01:29:51,639
Speaker 1: that at such a young age, though, Mr Jones. See,

1612
01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:54,760
Speaker 1: stop acting like you regular people, Mr Jones, because you're not.

1613
01:29:56,560 --> 01:29:59,160
Speaker 1: But I told him, puts on just like everybody else.

1614
01:29:59,360 --> 01:30:02,280
Speaker 1: You know one l No, No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry

1615
01:30:02,280 --> 01:30:05,120
Speaker 1: you my brother, You're special. And I'm gonna say that

1616
01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 1: because because because you're stand I'm saying because see, because

1617
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:11,200
Speaker 1: you know, when you grow up in life, man, we

1618
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 1: all make decisions. I always tell people this. We all

1619
01:30:14,640 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 1: have the same decision making opportunities. Yes, there's some geniuses

1620
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:21,840
Speaker 1: out there. I got that. I got that, but but

1621
01:30:21,960 --> 01:30:24,680
Speaker 1: in general we all are intelligent people. God gives us

1622
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:28,719
Speaker 1: a shock, okay. But then the special people like you man,

1623
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:32,479
Speaker 1: who get it, who get it, who make decisions, become

1624
01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:37,320
Speaker 1: natural leaders, becoming a natural activists, who become naturally engaged

1625
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:40,240
Speaker 1: in the process. And I always want to talk to

1626
01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:43,559
Speaker 1: you because because I think because it's so natural to

1627
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:45,960
Speaker 1: you and you're so humble that you that you want

1628
01:30:45,960 --> 01:30:48,360
Speaker 1: to act like I'm regular put you know, going back

1629
01:30:48,400 --> 01:30:50,719
Speaker 1: through You're like everybody else. I'll put the parts on

1630
01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:52,960
Speaker 1: one four day at a time. You're like everybody else.

1631
01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 1: Are you my food? My food was a food and

1632
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:57,120
Speaker 1: funk just like everybody else. And that's not true, sir,

1633
01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:00,320
Speaker 1: and and I think that value, if anything you take

1634
01:31:00,320 --> 01:31:02,799
Speaker 1: away from me on this show is that I admire

1635
01:31:02,840 --> 01:31:05,799
Speaker 1: you for who you are, and I admire the themes

1636
01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:08,559
Speaker 1: and the attributes that you bring to your life and

1637
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:11,240
Speaker 1: everybody's life every day. You know, that thing I asked

1638
01:31:11,360 --> 01:31:13,880
Speaker 1: is to let everybody know that you they can do

1639
01:31:13,960 --> 01:31:16,080
Speaker 1: this too. And you do that as well, because that's

1640
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 1: part of your your DNA, that's all I think. That's

1641
01:31:19,120 --> 01:31:21,479
Speaker 1: also that's also part of my my mission at the

1642
01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:24,559
Speaker 1: end of the day, right, and it's are you doing

1643
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:27,120
Speaker 1: this for yourself? Are you? Are you doing this for others?

1644
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:30,280
Speaker 1: Are you you know who? And what are the prime

1645
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:33,599
Speaker 1: motivating factors behind it? And you know, I was funny.

1646
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:35,280
Speaker 1: I was talking to one of my friends the other

1647
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:39,240
Speaker 1: day and we were we were kind of talking about

1648
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:43,280
Speaker 1: different songs that were out there, daving songs. Talking about

1649
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:46,320
Speaker 1: legacy actually meant a lot to me, right, talking about

1650
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 1: you know how other black men and women need to

1651
01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:51,880
Speaker 1: make sure that we are creating that legacy so we

1652
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:54,720
Speaker 1: can pass that down to us has a different level

1653
01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:59,200
Speaker 1: and the roller reponsibility in that and that plan. So

1654
01:31:59,560 --> 01:32:02,840
Speaker 1: everything that I did is not only for my family,

1655
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:04,960
Speaker 1: but also for those that are coming behind so that

1656
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:09,240
Speaker 1: they can be a part of the whole moving forward.

1657
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:11,960
Speaker 1: My man, We're gonna be right back and talk about

1658
01:32:11,960 --> 01:32:15,320
Speaker 1: one of my favorite shows, did you do that? Adventure Capitalists?

1659
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:18,439
Speaker 1: That crazy show that you'd be doing out there, man,

01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:57,080
Speaker 1: That's what I like about this show. This is kind

1668
01:32:57,120 --> 01:32:59,120
Speaker 1: of like. This is kind of like the Shark Tank

1669
01:32:59,200 --> 01:33:03,719
Speaker 1: on sterile, right, Shark Tank on steris that's the entertaining look.

1670
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:07,160
Speaker 1: I love. I love everybody in the Shark Tank. I

1671
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:10,920
Speaker 1: love bunching Cuban. I love watching you know all these

1672
01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:16,280
Speaker 1: Hersiebeck and all those guys Laurie and and do their thing. Barbara, right,

1673
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:21,760
Speaker 1: But what they won't do. They won't get into degree water.

1674
01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:24,800
Speaker 1: What they want to do and jump into a brand

1675
01:33:24,840 --> 01:33:29,599
Speaker 1: new motorcycle and jump off a jump, they won't do.

1676
01:33:30,479 --> 01:33:33,400
Speaker 1: They won't try some brand new give her gloves and

1677
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:36,760
Speaker 1: put it into a fire, right, their hands won't get

1678
01:33:36,760 --> 01:33:38,840
Speaker 1: set on fire. That's what That's what I do. That's

1679
01:33:38,840 --> 01:33:41,679
Speaker 1: what we do. That's what Jeremy, f Sean and and

1680
01:33:41,880 --> 01:33:43,479
Speaker 1: all of us do on the show. And we have

1681
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:46,080
Speaker 1: a really good time doing it. Sort of it's a

1682
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:48,960
Speaker 1: part of the experience because we think that, you know,

1683
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:52,040
Speaker 1: when it comes to you know, doing investments, you gotta

1684
01:33:52,120 --> 01:33:54,960
Speaker 1: have you gotta have hands on, hands on the whole

1685
01:33:54,960 --> 01:33:59,200
Speaker 1: body do it. I love it because because you know,

1686
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:02,680
Speaker 1: because I you know, both for both of these NBC shows,

1687
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:05,120
Speaker 1: and so I like the fact that you know, when

1688
01:34:05,120 --> 01:34:09,120
Speaker 1: they try to do something, try on some gloves and trousers,

1689
01:34:09,439 --> 01:34:12,519
Speaker 1: you know, then athletic side of them just pops off,

1690
01:34:12,600 --> 01:34:16,120
Speaker 1: just screams, put your back down. Ship, that's not what

1691
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:19,400
Speaker 1: you do. Sit back down. But on your show, you

1692
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:20,840
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, you go, okay, you know you

1693
01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:23,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't put on those skates. You know, Mark Cuban, you

1694
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:25,719
Speaker 1: should not put on those skates. Something bad is about

1695
01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:28,080
Speaker 1: to happen to you, brother and so but not. But

1696
01:34:28,080 --> 01:34:30,840
Speaker 1: but I know that it's so much that's part of

1697
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:34,280
Speaker 1: the show's uh popularity to me, you know, it's like,

1698
01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:36,720
Speaker 1: you know, like I'm I'm I'm a fan of the

1699
01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 1: fact that you know, and it's also kind of like

1700
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:42,400
Speaker 1: got that little disaster part of you know, something can

1701
01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:45,160
Speaker 1: go wrong. Part of it is also in the back

1702
01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:47,400
Speaker 1: of my head too. Is that a bad value to

1703
01:34:47,479 --> 01:34:51,800
Speaker 1: have that you know, y'all might bust y'all, but type no,

1704
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:54,120
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's a funny part of

1705
01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:57,400
Speaker 1: the show, right, And I think you know, we're going

1706
01:34:57,520 --> 01:35:02,559
Speaker 1: to the episodes at eleven PM and we'll talk about

1707
01:35:02,600 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 1: you know, Len's bikes, and there's a part of that

1708
01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:08,840
Speaker 1: where you will see Jeremy and myself and Sean just

1709
01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:11,839
Speaker 1: to get a little bit out of control. You know, products,

1710
01:35:11,920 --> 01:35:14,719
Speaker 1: products that are new to us, that are also new

1711
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:19,000
Speaker 1: to those that are watching, and also developed by the

1712
01:35:19,160 --> 01:35:23,160
Speaker 1: entrepreneurs sometimes don't have some safety precautions built into it,

1713
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:26,040
Speaker 1: and those are the chances that we take as entrepreneurs.

1714
01:35:26,040 --> 01:35:28,080
Speaker 1: So just as much as we're risking on the capital,

1715
01:35:28,080 --> 01:35:31,360
Speaker 1: were also risking some of our health and wellness as

1716
01:35:31,400 --> 01:35:33,559
Speaker 1: there is you know, trying to trying to find the

1717
01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 1: best deals. So you know, I'm I'm really excited about

1718
01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:39,160
Speaker 1: the episode that's come up tomorrow, but I've been excited

1719
01:35:39,160 --> 01:35:42,719
Speaker 1: about all the episodes that we that we've had because

1720
01:35:43,400 --> 01:35:45,599
Speaker 1: you know, there's a little something for everybody, whether it's

1721
01:35:45,640 --> 01:35:48,760
Speaker 1: motor tracks, which is a additive piece that goes on

1722
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:54,720
Speaker 1: a motorcycle, or you know, if you beach right, right,

1723
01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:57,240
Speaker 1: So this all kinds of stuff. I mean, fall Kicker

1724
01:35:57,400 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 1: was great. I mean, for those out there that are

1725
01:35:59,439 --> 01:36:01,040
Speaker 1: snow glinting, do you want to have a product that

1726
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:06,400
Speaker 1: keeps your legs clear? You know, every everybody that goes storkling. Um,

1727
01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:08,800
Speaker 1: you know the worst thing that happens your lens fads though,

1728
01:36:08,920 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 1: So you want to have that fat kicker? Right. All

1729
01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 1: these products that we have have different angles and have

1730
01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:18,639
Speaker 1: different ways, and we're just trying to maximize opportunity by

1731
01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:22,880
Speaker 1: being able to sort of expose ourselves to the entire product. Okay,

1732
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:25,040
Speaker 1: let me, I gotta ask you this, Mr Jones. Okay,

1733
01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:27,799
Speaker 1: like I I watched Naked and Afraid. You're negative Afraid.

1734
01:36:28,080 --> 01:36:30,600
Speaker 1: That's one of my favorite shows, you know, you know,

1735
01:36:30,640 --> 01:36:32,680
Speaker 1: and and the Neck and and Afraid. They you know,

1736
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:34,519
Speaker 1: they act like they in the woods and when some

1737
01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:37,759
Speaker 1: go wrong, here comes this producer out of the woods. Everybody,

1738
01:36:37,760 --> 01:36:40,040
Speaker 1: all right, okay, let me take you to ever take

1739
01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:42,519
Speaker 1: your temperature. We've got to take you off now, y'all

1740
01:36:42,520 --> 01:36:45,800
Speaker 1: like that doing all these crazy things. Okay, where is

1741
01:36:45,840 --> 01:36:50,320
Speaker 1: the ambulance truck had? And where the doctors? We don't

1742
01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:53,280
Speaker 1: have anything. We're athletes. Come on, come on, come on,

1743
01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:58,160
Speaker 1: and not the football league. And he wasn't Olympian for

1744
01:36:58,160 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 1: no reasons. Don was an Olympian for no for no reason.

1745
01:37:02,040 --> 01:37:04,160
Speaker 1: I wasn't an NFL player, And I didn't travel around

1746
01:37:04,160 --> 01:37:06,800
Speaker 1: the world playing sports on every single continent for no

1747
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:13,679
Speaker 1: No doctor on the sidelines with his own phone. Nothing. Yeah,

1748
01:37:13,800 --> 01:37:15,840
Speaker 1: you know, we got a band aid just like everybody else.

1749
01:37:18,720 --> 01:37:21,160
Speaker 1: We got a little bitty box with the band aids,

1750
01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:25,920
Speaker 1: and we might have some some some cold freeze. Something

1751
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:31,360
Speaker 1: gets but we have a timeline online, so so we're

1752
01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:33,679
Speaker 1: out there pushing the products to the limit, and sometimes

1753
01:37:33,760 --> 01:37:36,280
Speaker 1: things talk it to us. That's a part of the show.

1754
01:37:36,439 --> 01:37:40,120
Speaker 1: If something gets touched, we band aided up. If we

1755
01:37:40,160 --> 01:37:43,519
Speaker 1: get back up, if we start to drown, you better

1756
01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:46,439
Speaker 1: swim your way back home. You know, there's there's there's

1757
01:37:46,560 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 1: precautions obviously that are put in place, but for the

1758
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:51,920
Speaker 1: most part, we're out there on our own accord because

1759
01:37:52,040 --> 01:37:54,880
Speaker 1: we are trusting the entrepreneur with the product. Therefore, we

1760
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:58,240
Speaker 1: might invest in to create an opportunity not on custom

1761
01:37:58,320 --> 01:38:00,000
Speaker 1: for them, but also for the community to be able

1762
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:01,920
Speaker 1: with the purchase at a later date, and that the

1763
01:38:02,040 --> 01:38:04,439
Speaker 1: and that's that's let me ask you this so and

1764
01:38:04,439 --> 01:38:08,640
Speaker 1: and and putting this show together. And because do you

1765
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:11,519
Speaker 1: guys get a chance to pick the products for this

1766
01:38:11,640 --> 01:38:13,960
Speaker 1: show or they just say these are the products we're

1767
01:38:13,960 --> 01:38:16,240
Speaker 1: going to do in the show and y'all just familiarize

1768
01:38:16,240 --> 01:38:18,760
Speaker 1: yourself with it. How does that work? No, there's there's

1769
01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:20,959
Speaker 1: a handful of people that are part of the process.

1770
01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:24,639
Speaker 1: Whether it's the producers of the show, whether it's the network, um,

1771
01:38:24,680 --> 01:38:28,120
Speaker 1: whether it's us as the investors. UM. I think all

1772
01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:30,479
Speaker 1: three of us coming together to be able to sort

1773
01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:33,680
Speaker 1: of identify really good products that are all successible. Right,

1774
01:38:33,720 --> 01:38:37,639
Speaker 1: because the show doesn't work if the products don't work, right, Um,

1775
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:41,000
Speaker 1: Just like in chart, the show does not work if

1776
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:42,960
Speaker 1: the products don't work. You want to be able to

1777
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:47,320
Speaker 1: imagine this product and also see this product come to

1778
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:50,439
Speaker 1: full fruition so that the product becomes something that the

1779
01:38:50,439 --> 01:38:53,000
Speaker 1: American Dream has built a products but but you know,

1780
01:38:53,800 --> 01:38:56,680
Speaker 1: has become more successful as a result of creating it,

1781
01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:59,080
Speaker 1: and that we have invested. Therefore, more people would come

1782
01:38:59,120 --> 01:39:01,840
Speaker 1: back to the show to showcase their products. Nobody wants

1783
01:39:01,880 --> 01:39:04,280
Speaker 1: to hang out with some investors that having created products

1784
01:39:04,280 --> 01:39:08,400
Speaker 1: that are successful success free success. But but but you

1785
01:39:08,439 --> 01:39:11,080
Speaker 1: have to admit that your show is different than Shark

1786
01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:14,800
Speaker 1: Tag because it's a physicality tattoo it, you know, it's

1787
01:39:15,120 --> 01:39:17,519
Speaker 1: it's definitely a lot different the charteg. I think the

1788
01:39:17,520 --> 01:39:22,000
Speaker 1: guiding principles of any show, especially our show, is about

1789
01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:24,680
Speaker 1: people realizing the American dream. Right. You can come up

1790
01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:27,720
Speaker 1: with an idea, you can find an issue, you can

1791
01:39:27,720 --> 01:39:29,920
Speaker 1: solve to the issue. Someone can have a belief and

1792
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:33,519
Speaker 1: confidence in you that you've created something that is solved

1793
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:36,000
Speaker 1: that issue, and they can invest in it, and therefore

1794
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:39,080
Speaker 1: they're investing in something that you can therefore build out

1795
01:39:39,080 --> 01:39:42,040
Speaker 1: and other people purchase it, and therefore you become wealthy

1796
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:46,000
Speaker 1: because of it, and other people have sort of fun

1797
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:49,000
Speaker 1: utilizing their products or buying into the product, and then

1798
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:51,880
Speaker 1: they're able to think the same thing. So we want

1799
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:53,479
Speaker 1: to make sure that the products that we have on

1800
01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:57,439
Speaker 1: the show that are inherently put forward, put forth by

1801
01:39:57,479 --> 01:39:59,879
Speaker 1: the investors and by the network and by the producers,

1802
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:03,559
Speaker 1: that people will actually see and that will win my

1803
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:05,559
Speaker 1: man telling what time the show come on tomorrow night

1804
01:40:05,560 --> 01:40:09,280
Speaker 1: at eleven o'clock as eastern, right, yep, eleven o'clock eastern

1805
01:40:09,360 --> 01:40:12,320
Speaker 1: on CNBC I'll be there. I hope you all will

1806
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:14,240
Speaker 1: be there too. Come on, all I gotta said is

1807
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:17,240
Speaker 1: this one last thing to you man. I respect you.

1808
01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:20,920
