But you said 35 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 2: that you grew up in the entrepreneurial household every day. 36 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 2: So what kind of lessons did you see that made 37 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 2: you feel sufficient and comfortable to make that pivot? 38 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: Right? 39 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 3: So, I would say going through the industry and really 40 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 3: seeing that it wasn't built for me to win, that 41 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 3: I was basically creating a brand for every single artist 42 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 3: that I worked for. You know, I worked with Jeremiah, 43 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 3: I worked with French Montana. I've worked with some really 44 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 3: big names right for twenty years, Like for real, that 45 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,839 Speaker 3: was my bread and butter. I made money, I made 46 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 3: good money, one of the top stylists in Los Angeles, 47 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: really made a name for myself. 48 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: But I knew that could only take me so far. 49 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 3: It's like they're able to you know, the stars that 50 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 3: we're working with, they're able to go and retire on 51 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 3: what we've created for them. So what is left for us, 52 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 3: the people that are on the other side of the 53 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 3: of the camera. 54 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: What does our future look like? Because we're creatives as well. 55 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 3: And so for me, I always, you know, the brand 56 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 3: and coming out with brands and things of that sort. 57 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 3: I've been doing that since a young girl. So it 58 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 3: was not like the first brand I came out with. 59 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 3: I had like a T shirt line, a really cute 60 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 3: handbag line and everything that I did when I was younger. 61 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,240 Speaker 3: I mean I made it in Cosmo, you know, Kilmer magazine. 62 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 3: Like I really would always take it to the hill, 63 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: but then a celebrity would call or you know, I'd 64 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,919 Speaker 3: have to go back and really do my real job, 65 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 3: which was styling and that takes so much of your 66 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 3: time and effort. So I was basically I would say 67 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: that my last show that I did. Right before the 68 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 3: last show that I did, I was watching this video 69 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 3: of Dame Dash and he was talking and you know, 70 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: we all love Dame Dash, and he was just dropping 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 3: so much knowledge, and I was like, dang. I was 72 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 3: sitting with somebody, I said, Dang, if I could get under. 73 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: Dame Dash, I would be a beast. 74 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 3: Even though I was already a beast, I said I 75 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: would be a beast, like a real beast. 76 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: Two weeks later, I get a call for a show 77 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: with Dame Dash. I'm like, oh my god. They called me. 78 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 3: They said Dame Dash was one of the houses. So 79 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 3: I did a show called the Next Big Thing. 80 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: It was like a music competition. 81 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 3: Show on BET and it was Dame Dash. Theytoven and 82 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 3: Tina Davis were the you know, the judges. And so 83 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 3: I was with Dame Dash for the next eight weeks 84 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 3: and we became super cool. I loved Dame and I 85 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 3: actually just ran him to in the airport and told 86 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: my story. 87 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: He was like what he could have believed? He was 88 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: so excited, so happy for me. 89 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: But I told him I said, you gave me a 90 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 3: lot of knowledge during that show. You didn't even know it. 91 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 3: You was dropping knowledge on all those young kids. But 92 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 3: really I was sitting there soaking it up as well. 93 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 3: And one of the things that stood out to me 94 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,839 Speaker 3: was he said he was talking to the kids. 95 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: He was like, what did little Wayne do? Howd a 96 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: little Wayne just blow? Blow? Blow? You know what little 97 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: Wayne did? 98 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 3: He said, Little Wayne flooded the internet, he flooded everything. 99 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 3: And that stuck with me, and I was like, that's 100 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 3: exactly what I'm going to do, and that's what I did. 101 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 3: And we'll get to that next when you asked me 102 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 3: that question. But that's what I did. But I did 103 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,559 Speaker 3: it organically and that was the secret to my sauce. 104 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 3: I didn't do it through pain. So yea, yeah, let's 105 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 3: go into that. Okay, So basically in a nutsh you know, 106 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: when I came up with Hollywood her, but I was 107 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 3: sitting on that show and soaking up all the knowledge 108 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 3: and literally sitting there with my laptop all my downtown, 109 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 3: making my you know, my logo, creating my website, those 110 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 3: types of things I really had learned.

So that's 123 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 3: what I did, and so I learned how to do everything. 124 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 3: And so because I'm a creator and a creative and 125 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 3: a brander and a brand you know, that's really what 126 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 3: I do. I was able to get on different tools 127 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 3: and really learn. So I made everything. So I sat 128 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: there made all my stuff. And that's the reason why 129 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: they said my intellectual properties are worth so much because 130 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 3: I literally behind every single thing in the brand, right, 131 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 3: not just the product, but the logo, the color, the 132 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 3: you know, the marketing, the way we talked to the customer, 133 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 3: all of that. So, in a nutshell, when I launched, 134 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 3: I basically went into engagement share groups. At the time, 135 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 3: I don't know if you know, but like you know, 136 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 3: the share for share type thing.

And so they would break you off on 144 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 3: the rooms depending on how many followers you had. And 145 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 3: then when they say drop, you drop, and you would 146 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 3: drop in your basically your ad, your picture and your 147 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: you know you and your you know, your your comment, 148 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 3: your post whatever.

So 245 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 3: when I came up with the website, I have my 246 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 3: pixel set up, so my pixel was capturing all of 247 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 3: that free organic you know, traffic that I was having 248 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 3: that came to the site. 249 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: So that was like golden, That's what That's the step 250 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,080 Speaker 1: that everybody skips. You got to put in the work. 251 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 3: You can't just put Facebook ads and think that like 252 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 3: that's going to blow you up the way I blew up. 253 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: No. 254 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 3: The reason why we had such success because I really 255 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 3: put in the work. I was doing those shares from 256 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 3: five am to freaking twelve am every day for. 257 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: Fifteen months, and I put in the work.

So at that 261 00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 3: point it was like I went from making fifty thousand 262 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 3: dollars a month to the first month with the ad. 263 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: Agency, we did a million dollars return.
