Speaker 5: So we got allowed to love out here.

29
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 4: So you know, on Instagram, we kind of gauge things

30
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 4: to see, like the public interest. So we first a

31
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 4: few months ago put a story up that a town

32
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 4: was for sale, like tom I think it was Tom'sborough Toombsboro,

33
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 4: and everybody was going crazy. It wasn't really too much

34
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 4: details about it. Everybody was going crazy like yo, you

35
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 4: should buy that Black Wall Street. Da Da da, And

36
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 4: then kind of just died down, nothing happened.

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 5: And then like a couple of weeks ago, put his story.

38
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 4: Up about nineteen black families that actually purchased ninety seven

39
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: acres I think outside of that in Wilkinson County, Georgia,

40
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 4: and it went crazy.

41
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 5: It went viral like what's going on?

42
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 4: And everybody was It was all kinds of comments like

43
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 4: this is dope, this new Black Wall Street.

44
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 5: People like no, this is racist, it's all black.

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,919

00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 4: It was like it was like a thousand comments, like

48
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 4: going back and forth with each other. So you know,

49
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 4: time had passed and Troy had actually reached out to

50
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,640

Speaker 4: So yeah, So nineteen black families purchased ninety seven acres

76
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 4: of land and they're actually building a community and it

77
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 4: was interesting. So this is with the conversation that we're

78
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 4: going to have. Now we have three members of the community.

79
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: We have actually Scott, we have Kevin James, and we

80

82
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: it's very close. So this is just a really a

83
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 4: really encouraging story. And you know, if you follow earnerly,

84
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 4: you know, we like to give the back stories. And

85
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: I'm sure when people heard about this, it's one thing

86
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 4: to say, Okay, that's inspirational, that's motivational, but like, what's

87
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 4: the technical side, Like how do you just buy a community?

88
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: Like how do you you know, have plumbing, how do

89
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 4: you have how do you have a farm? How do

90
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 4: you have all this stuff? So these are you know,

91
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 4: hopefully the conversation that we can have. So first and foremost,

92
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 4: thank you guys for for joining us.

93
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 5: Appreciate it, thank you.

94
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 7: Thank you, thank you.

95
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, for sure.

96
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 4: So let's jump right into it, all right, So how

97
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 4: do we get the idea to buy a community? Because

98
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 4: I was reading some some research and it was like

99
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: around the time I believe around George Floyd situation, and

100
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 4: you know, it was obviously a lot of still is

101
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 4: a lot of civil unrest and defund the police, and

102
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 4: you know, group economics is a common theme. So how

103
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 4: did this come about to say, okay, you know what,

104
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 4: we're gonna buy a community and build a community.

105
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 6: Because before you, I'll be honest with you, when I

106
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 6: saw the meme, I was like, ain't real. But y'all

107
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 6: saw it and said, let's take gotch what happened?

108
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 8: But well, first off, I always have to correct people

109
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 8: first and foremost, we didn't actually buy the town of Toombsboro. Okay, yes,

110
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 8: we bought eight minutes away from Toombsboro in unincorporated Wilkinson County,

111
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 8: And so when we first got down there, we were

112
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 8: just going to be nosy. We was like, somebody fitting

113
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 8: to buy town. Let's go see what's up. Myself, my

114
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 8: good friend Renee, my friend Q and her lover Steve

115
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 8: we all got on the got in the car and

116
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 8: we was like, we're gonna go. I'm a real estate agent.

117
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: And it's always so important the network, and there was

118
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 2: so much going on. I'm like, this is my neck

119
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: of the woods. I'm going down there. So when Renee.

120
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 8: Brought it to us, because we're firm believers and affirmations

121
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 8: and so we were.

122
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: She's my account ability partner.

123
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 8: So on the morning when Toombsboro first went viral, we

124
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 8: were doing our affirmations and she was like, did you

125
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 8: see the email I sent you about the Tombsborough going viral?

126
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: I was like, nope, but.

127
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 8: If I'm down, if we can buy a town for

128
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 8: one point seven million dollars, let's figure it out. And

129
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 8: so when we got down there, it was interesting because

130
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 8: I was like, let's going to be a lot of work,

131
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 8: Like the buildings are in complete need of renovation, except

132
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 8: for some of the residents. It was like thirty it's

133
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 8: thirty six parcels and was called an assemblage of land

134
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 8: on forty six acres, and they were mostly commercial properties

135
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 8: that needed some work.

136
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: And one thing about commercial.

137
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 8: Properties is it costs a lot more money to fix

138
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 8: up a commercial property than a residential property because the

139
00:06:54,520 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 8: fees for contractors are substantially higher, and the permits, impact fees,

140
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 8: all of the stuff that goes on with a commercial

141
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 8: renovation is exorbitant. So we were like, Okay, it's potential

142
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 8: here for sure. It's about four hundred and ninety five

143
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 8: people who actually live in the city of Tombsboro.

144
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 2: It's predominantly black. They have a black mayor, black chief

145
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: of police.

146
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 8: So in my mind, I was like, there's definitely something here.

147
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 8: There was like fifty other black real estate agents investors

148
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 8: who were there at the open house that day, and

149
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 8: from what we've heard through the grapevine is that a

150
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 8: black woman from Philly actually ended up purchasing that assemblage.

151
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 8: But it didn't come with the town, like it wasn't

152
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 8: the city. There's still a mayor, they got their own

153
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 8: city hall, there's a whole bunch of other people who

154
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 8: still lived there. It was just thirty six different commercial

155
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 8: spaces and a few residential units, and in my eyes,

156
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 8: for one point seven million, I was like, this is

157
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 8: still going to be a long haul to innovate. And

158
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 8: we were like, let's look and see what else might

159
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 8: be available, because somebody gonna do it might not be us.

160
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 8: Somebody's gonna do it. So it was just like, let's

161
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 8: see what opportunity might be available. So right down the street,

162
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 8: eight minutes away, we found this ninety six acres of land.

163
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 8: It was at a price that I was like, you

164
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 8: know what, if we get enough people together, we can

165
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 8: easily afford this. And Renee, that's my ace and we

166
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 8: always talk about how important it is to have you know,

167
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 8: one or two or three together can go further faster, right,

168
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 8: So she was like, yo, I'm definitely down.

169
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: We can do this ourselves.

170
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 8: And I was like, well it was raw land, like

171
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 8: ninety six acres of nothing but trees and land Georgia

172
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 8: red dirt. And so we were like the infrastructure, Like

173
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 8: you said, how would we put water in electricity?

174
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 2: It was there is some road frontage on.

175
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 8: The main side of the street, but on the other

176
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 8: side of the street it's a dirt. We would have

177
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 8: to either work with the county to get paved or

178
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 8: pave ourselves. So me, being a business person, a real

179
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 8: estate agent, I was like, it's gonna be a lot

180
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 8: more infrastructure beyond just the purchase and acquiring of the land.

181
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 8: And that's when we were in the car. We just

182
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 8: looked at each other. I was like, I'm gonna get

183
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 8: ten of my friends. She's like, I'll get ten of

184
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 8: my friends, and let's go ahead and by this land

185
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 8: and let's do this together. Let's build our own subdivision,

186
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 8: let's build our own community. And so at the time

187
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 8: in the car, I didn't know that it wasn't Toombsboro.

188
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 8: After we started doing our due diligence period, that's when

189
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 8: we found out it was an unincorporated Wilkinson County.

190
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,239
Speaker 6: So what's the difference between unincorporated and incorporated.

191
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 8: The big difference is the taxes and whether or not

192
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 8: it has a charter. And when you have a charter

193
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 8: for an actual city that's recognized by the state, you

194
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 8: now get state funding in state income that comes from

195
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 8: your being a city. So all of the money that

196
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 8: the state collects from sales tax blows all the different

197
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 8: ways that the state makes money. When you are actual

198
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 8: charter based on your population, you get a piece of

199
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 8: that money for your city. And so typically the county

200
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 8: and the unincorporated parts that is the jurisdiction of the

201
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 8: county and you only have to deal with the county

202
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 8: and the state and not the city. And then when

203
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 8: you have an actual charter city, you got the city

204
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 8: that makes the rules, has its own budgets, has its

205
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 8: own city police, has its own fire departments. So by

206
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 8: getting in that unincorporated part, that gives us the ability

207
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 8: to start write a charter, to start creating our own jurisdiction.

208
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 6: So then you would be able to create your own

209
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 6: police force, your own fire department, your own schools.

210
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 4: Yes, gotcha, and you'll be able to have your own

211
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 4: political how's that working.

212
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 8: So it would be a mayor and a city council.

213
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 8: You'd have your city manager, your county clerk, or it's

214
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 8: not your county, your city clerk, your city judge.

215
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 4: So pretty much, it was a plot of land that

216
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 4: was under the counties. It's in the county, but it wasn't.

217
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: Under a city's jis.

218
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 5: It was juris at all.

219
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 8: Under the county and the state. So some counties have

220
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 8: more restrictions than others.

221
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 2: And the good thing about being in the South is

222
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 2: that we.

223
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 8: Have this idea of not being involved in big government.

224
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 8: That's really what the South really was fighting for. It's

225
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 8: fighting for a lot of stuff, but this idea that

226
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 8: you can't tell me what to do.

227
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: I get to determine for myself.

228
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 8: How I treat my property, how I treat my my business,

229
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 8: my livelihood, my justice.

230
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 2: My property.

231
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 8: That's the ideology of the South is that we want

232
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 8: smaller government and more control over our local politics, our

233
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 8: local economy. That's that ideal. So the county doesn't have

234
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 8: a lot of rules. They got Aroozona no ordinances beyond

235
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 8: a two page subdivision ordinance. So when you are thinking

236
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 8: about doing a concept like this, that gives you the

237
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 8: room and the ability to create what you want, create

238
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 8: your own laws, and we have the ability to do that.

239
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 8: That's the American dream is that we can create what

240
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 8: we want. We can pursue liberty and justice how we choose,

241
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 8: and being a law maker is all right. So we

242
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 8: have to start making our own rules, making our own laws,

243
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 8: and letting the law serve us for a change.

244
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 2: And so I didn't come up with this.

245
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 8: What happened was I watched the city of Stonecrust do

246
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 8: it two years ago, and they've got a ninety eight

247
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,479
Speaker 8: point nine percent African American population.

248
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: We got a dope black mayor named Mayor Jason.

249
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 8: Larry, ninety eight point nine.

250
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 5: Percent, the one like, what is that.

251
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: It's a couple of white folks, you.

252
00:12:54,080 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 8: Know, before we came and started building our city.

253
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 2: Because it's it's on the outskirts.

254
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 8: It's not it's an east it's east of Atlanta, and

255
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 8: it's got beautiful landscape, Arabia Mountain, it's got the Stonecrust Mall,

256
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 8: and had industry, had resources, and we just took.

257
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: It over essentially called Stonecrust City of Stone, CT.

258
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 5: How big is that?

259
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 8: Don't give me the lion right now because I don't

260
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 8: want to miss close, but it is. It's a it's

261
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 8: a decent size if I'm not mistaken. It is one

262
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 8: of the largest cities in the in the county of

263
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 8: the Cab County. And so yeah, so the Cab County

264
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 8: still has the jurisdiction too, and some counties are more

265
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 8: hands on the others, Like the Cavs got big government here,

266
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 8: Like they got a police department in jail, Yeah, like

267
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 8: they got So you have to be strategic. And so

268
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 8: Wilkinson County, we've been having great, exceptional experiences with the

269
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 8: sheriff there, with the.

270
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 2: County manager there.

271
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 8: They're all black and they're cool, intelligent, Black excellence is

272
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 8: what we found in Wilkinson County already and it's a

273
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 8: little slower, yes, but and it's in that mode of

274
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 8: wanting to develop. So we get to come here and

275
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 8: we can help develop this county, which is really exciting.

276
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 6: So when you decide like, yeah, we're going to do this,

277
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 6: you're going to Wilson County to say like, yes, we

278
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 6: want this land.

279
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 2: No, it's not that I.

280
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 8: Go to Wilkinson County. Wilkinson County doesn't own the land.

281
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 8: There are people who own the land like regular folks

282
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 8: own the land. And so this particular piece of land

283
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 8: was for sale, was listed for sale. It had been

284
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 8: owned by released By Lumber company. So this is very wooded,

285
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 8: very it's raw land, and it's six minutes away from

286
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 8: the Oconee River. Six it's right along the balls Ferry

287
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 8: National Park, which is a newly named national park. So

288
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 8: there's just certain things as far as development is concerned,

289
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 8: that makes this an exciting opportunity.

290
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 3: Worter is a big one.

291
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 5: So let me ask, Let me ask Kevin. Let me

292
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 5: ask you this question.

293
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 4: Because you're an entrepreneur, So all right, I think everybody

294
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: has like different skill sets, right, so you you agreed

295
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 4: to be you know, a founding member in this community.

296
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 4: And but as an entrepreneur, you know, like no community

297
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 4: can thirst can flourish without business. So did you think, Okay,

298
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 4: I'm gonna buy into this, but we need to have

299
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 4: a store. We eventually we need to have a bank.

300
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 4: Like what's your thoughts on how to develop from the

301
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 4: economic side of things, Like, as far as right now,

302
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 4: it's just it's just land and then you guys are

303
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 4: gonna build, So like, what's the steps to actually get

304
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 4: it up and running the houses, stores, things that nature.

305
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 7: To answer your first question, yes, I immediately started going into

306
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 7: entrepreneurial mode and I was just like, okay, well, let's

307
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 7: start connecting the dots.

308
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 4: You know.

309
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 7: Its sound like you're building a house where you need

310
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 7: to lay the foundation. That foundation is the land check.

311
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 7: Now you need to put in your beams, your studs,

312
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 7: your drywall, things of that nature. So we're kind of

313
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 7: dressing it up. Definitely need local businesses. You know, we

314
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 7: said that we want to be the change that we

315
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 7: want to see in the world, and we said it

316
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 7: all the time, even in the Zoom. You know, we

317
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 7: need an assistant, we need an accountant, we need this,

318
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 7: we need that, we let's work from it inside first,

319
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 7: inside the group internally, and then if we don't have

320
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 7: the skill set to do that, then we can go

321
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 7: ahead and reach outward, you know.

322
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 9: And that's the same thing with any business.

323
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 7: You know, if you have somebody in your family that

324
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 7: makes cupcakes, why are you going down the street to

325
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 7: go buy cupcakes? You know, go have your auntie naked

326
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 7: or what have you. So that was my whole thing

327
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 7: when I got put onto it, like cool, this is

328
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 7: I'm already doing this. Now we get to do this

329
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 7: with eighteen other people.

330
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 6: I want to go with that number eighteen or nineteen

331
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 6: because I'm prior to hearing it. When I heard the story,

332
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, okay, And as you kind of said it,

333
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 6: like I'll find out of my friends. You find none

334
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 6: of your friends, and it sounds great, like none of

335
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 6: your friends, and like, okay, and that's eighteen and we'll

336
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 6: do this together.

337
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: But you guys didn't know each other.

338
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 6: What was that process of getting to know these these

339
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 6: these gentlemen and these these families.

340
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 10: Well, it was, it was it just definitely a different process. We,

341
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 10: like you said, a lot of different personalities are coming

342
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 10: into a mix, and we were actually being introduced through

343
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 10: zoom and so you know, you don't really get a

344
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 10: good feel of like how this person really is, how

345
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 10: they talk when they're you know, when you're around them,

346
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 10: and shaking hands.

347
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 9: And all that good stuff. So you know, in the beginning,

348
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 9: it was it was always loved.

349
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 10: We always have the same motivation, you know, to become

350
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 10: just to make to make this thing really really big,

351
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 10: and so it was we had that going and then

352
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 10: you know as time went time goes on, you sort

353
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 10: of learned the personalities and stuff like that, so you

354
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 10: get used to people and then you know, most of

355
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 10: the people are coming with their spouses, so you know,

356
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 10: you know, like you have the me and my wife

357
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 10: are there, and my wife knows Ashley, so through me

358
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 10: through her, I met Kevin and all the other guys

359
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 10: and stuff like that. So you know, we had a

360
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 10: former bond and kind of just go from there. It's

361
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 10: like like I said, we always have the same we

362
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 10: have the same wavation, so we we just stick with

363
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 10: that kind of you know, kind of just happened. We had

364
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 10: the same extracurricular activities as well. You know, we like

365
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 10: the same books and the same fun things that we

366
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 10: do outside of work, you know, that kind of stuff.

367
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 3: So so this started as a Zoomian.

368
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know what, I didn't get that, like we did,

369
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 6: we miss that.

370
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 8: A lot of people felt the same way though, Like

371
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 8: there's a lot of people who looked up and was mad.

372
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: At us, like a man.

373
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 9: You know what, I noticed a lot of people wanted

374
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 9: more for me.

375
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 10: A lot of people, I feel a lot of people

376
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 10: wanted more information than what we can give.

377
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 5: But it wasn't but.

378
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 9: It wasn't even that we had it to give.

379
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 10: It was more like figuring out that, you know, we

380
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 10: were figuring out that we were going on and if

381
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 10: you weren't with that, then that you just went with that.

382
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: And some people don't be with that.

383
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 8: You know, there's different types of people that you got

384
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 8: the people who just like, look, I just want to

385
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 8: be with my friends.

386
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 2: You got the people like I need to know all

387
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 2: the facts. You got the people.

388
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 9: I'm just wing to sound like, you know.

389
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 10: And then at the time it was like, you know,

390
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 10: it's like you know, like you were saying the George

391
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 10: Floord thing, it was just so much happening, and for me,

392
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 10: I just.

393
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 9: Had to get away.

394
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 10: I wanted to get to escape to I'm tired of

395
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,119
Speaker 10: having to travel of this here and there another just

396
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 10: to get away for a little while. You know, I

397
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 10: get to go two hours down the road to have

398
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 10: that getaway to that so often need, like this is

399
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 10: what I'm here for.

400
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 9: That's how that's how it started.

401
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I look at it like like we got drafted, right,

402
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 7: and Renee and Ashley were the ones, you know, the

403
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 7: commissioners if you will, And they were like, you know,

404
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 7: who would we want to be like neighbors with, Like

405
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 7: who would we see ourselves living with. Let's just go

406
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 7: get a bunch of cool people and see if they

407
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 7: want to get down, you know. And I was just

408
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 7: less to be one of them. You know, I only

409
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 7: knew Ashley, you know, I got on the zoom and

410
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 7: they were like eighteen other faces. I was just like, yeah,

411
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 7: some people are marriage, some people have spousals, some people

412
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 7: have you know, they went to high school together. And

413
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 7: then there's me, you know, and they're like, who is

414
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 7: this dude?

415
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 5: Right right right? You know.

416
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 7: So we're still kind of working out those kind of dynamics,

417
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 7: but it's it's all part of the journey.

418
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 5: So no embrace.

419
00:20:10,560 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 4: Actually you were saying that so you're talking telling me,

420
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 4: like the steps. Now you have to find an architect

421
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 4: and you have to can you talk about that, because

422
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 4: like it's one thing, all right, So you get the land,

423
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 4: you get you get the families.

424
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 5: Everybody agrees to it. Now you just have one hundred acres.

425
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 8: It's a lot of money, a lot of money. Step

426
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 8: the step is a mass as much money as.

427
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 2: You can, right, so listen.

428
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 8: It literally starts with buying the land. That's the easiest. First,

429
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 8: that's the easiest part is buying the land, setting up

430
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 8: the LLC so that we could buy the land.

431
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: We did that two days. That's easy.

432
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 8: The harder parts are spending that money on the photographical

433
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 8: survey to find out what the topography is and whether

434
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 8: or not you can build. If it's too steep here

435
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 8: that means you can't build here, soil samples, percolation tests,

436
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 8: water testing, environmental testing, environmental impact fees.

437
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,479
Speaker 2: There's always another step.

438
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 8: And then because we have such a massive project, it's

439
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 8: not just one hundred acres, like to be a city,

440
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 8: we need at least six hundred and forty acres a

441
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 8: square mile radius. So you constantly like, okay, that means

442
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 8: we got to acquire more land. So you have to

443
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,360
Speaker 8: negotiate the next conversation with the neighbors, like a neighbor,

444
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 8: can I get your land so that we can get

445
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 8: this puzzle piece going, so that we can eventually have

446
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 8: enough of the requirements meant to push a charter through

447
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 8: the legislature.

448
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 3: So if this is like building blocks, this is just

449
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: the first piece.

450
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 5: Nothing.

451
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 3: Still get a few more pieces to make it a city.

452
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, action and the people, because you got to have

453
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 8: at least two hundred residents, and so every little thing

454
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 8: is strategic and even the politics of it all making

455
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 8: sure that Wilkinson County knows that we're here to help

456
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 8: uplift them.

457
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 2: We're here to add value to the county.

458
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 8: If we can attract more people to the area, that

459
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 8: means Toombsboro, Goarton, Ivy, all of those people doubling. They

460
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 8: get to benefit from that economic development too of now

461
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 8: having more people in the area. So there's so many

462
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 8: different things. But technically, yes, you have to get a

463
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 8: civil engineer. From the civil engineer, he's going to just

464
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 8: do like, Okay, this is your roads, this is your setbacks,

465
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 8: this is your stormwater runoff, this is your waste water management.

466
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 8: A waste water management system state of the art can

467
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 8: cost a million dollars, and that's.

468
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 2: If you're doing it like top of the line and

469
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 2: you're trying to be eco friendly.

470
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 8: And that's our goal. Our goal is to build the

471
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 8: best and so taking the time to research and find like,

472
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 8: who is the best, who is the person that can

473
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 8: create as a black person, because sometimes I don't want

474
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 8: to put it this way because I think we have

475
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 8: enough talent to do everything ourselves, but sometimes the people

476
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 8: who are most qualified might not be black. So then

477
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 8: we have to look at, well, what does that look

478
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 8: like when we have to go to an ally and say, hey,

479
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 8: can you partner with this subcontractor or the sub vendor

480
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 8: so that we can put some black people onto the project,

481
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 8: because y'all the only ones who.

482
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: Can do it.

483
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,679
Speaker 8: Because that's all of the types of things that we're navigating.

484
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 8: Even when we talk about we're going to have to

485
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 8: put homeowners insurance on every single house that we build

486
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,160
Speaker 8: in Freedom, we would love to be able to put

487
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 8: a black homeowner's insurance. Be the writer, the person who

488
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 8: writes the policy, not the person who writes the policy,

489
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 8: but the actual insurance agency. We don't have a black

490
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 8: owned insurance agency. We got Guico State Farm ain't no

491
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 8: black ones. So that's the kind of stuff that we

492
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 8: are always thinking about when it comes to this journey

493
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 8: of building a community that meets all of our needs

494
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 8: and that is pro black and allows us to really

495
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 8: support black businesses in that way, because we that's what

496
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 8: our goal is every step of the way. We want

497
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 8: to put black businesses on and so looking at how

498
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 8: do we do that, how do we hire the best

499
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 8: civil engineer, the best city planner, Because after you hire

500
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 8: the civil engineer, he lays out the roads. Now somebody's

501
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 8: got a plan. Okay, the subdivision is going to go here,

502
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 8: this subdivision is going to go there.

503
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 2: This is where the.

504
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:27,119
Speaker 8: Agricultural goes, this is where the industrial goes. And if

505
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 8: we don't want to have polluted air, we might need

506
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 8: to move industry way over here. If we need the

507
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 8: you know, waste water management, and how can we utilize

508
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 8: permit culture so that everything's regenerative.

509
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 2: Like we having those kinds of conversations.

510
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 4: So I feel this is like, you know, Sims, that's why.

511
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 3: Mike might used to kill that.

512
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 6: We used to catch them in the computer room in

513
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 6: eighth grade.

514
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 5: That founts.

515
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 4: But So and SIMS if anybody's not familiar, SIMS was

516
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 4: a video game back in the days. Was a computer

517
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 4: game where you can build your own city. So this

518
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 4: sounds like it reminds me of SIMS. So and your brain. All,

519
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 4: I want to get all of your opinions on this.

520
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 4: How do you envision your city looking like right now,

521
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 4: it's just land, but in the perfect world if everything

522
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 4: goes perfect, which never nothing ever goes perfect. But how

523
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 4: what's your blueprint in your brain that you want a bank,

524
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,159
Speaker 4: you want a school, you want what do you?

525
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 5: What do you? What are you envision in the in

526
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 5: the community.

527
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 8: But I wasna say, y'all hear it, And everybody's got

528
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 8: a different vision. Like when I think, because at the

529
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 8: end of the day, I'm a relator, so I always

530
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 8: kind of go back to the real estate.

531
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,120
Speaker 2: So I'm like, it's going to be.

532
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 8: Different subdivisions, some kinds because I don't never want to

533
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 8: live nowhere where every house look the same, but some

534
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 8: people like the uniformity of I want every house on

535
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 8: my subdivision to look the same. And when I think

536
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 8: about building freedom, I want people to have choices. I

537
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 8: think that's what freedom is genuinely about So we got

538
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 8: the misers. That's like, look, I want a little subdivision

539
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 8: where I can have v We're gonna put them way

540
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 8: in the back. You can hear I see having different communities,

541
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 8: different vibes where we're not all on top of each other.

542
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 8: Because it's rural and it's beautiful. We got a lot

543
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,640
Speaker 8: of wildlife, lots of animals. We don't want to run

544
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 8: them all. We want to be as eco friendly and

545
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 8: as environmentally and naturally in harmony as we can because

546
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,679
Speaker 8: the land is just gorgeous, so like it won't be

547
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 8: a whole bunch of skyscrapers or none of that, because

548
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 8: the rural beauty of this scenic landscape is the selling.

549
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 3: Point real quick.

550
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 6: Because I'm thinking, like, even when you said the waste

551
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 6: management piece of it, yes, eco friendly, But as you're

552
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 6: building it, are you building it for the ninety seven

553
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 6: acres first, or you're building it with the intent that, yo,

554
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 6: we're going to acquire more land.

555
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 2: Is that what we absolutely are doing it with the

556
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: intent to acquire more land.

557
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 3: Got you? Got you?

558
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 6: And the other part was said, two hundred people have

559
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 6: to live there? How many acres does it have to be?

560
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 8: So technically, because we of the jurisdiction of Wilkinson is

561
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 8: it is it.

562
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 3: A state mandate or is it a county man's a.

563
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 8: County mandate typically, but so we this is raw, right,

564
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 8: so they don't have everybody out there in this area

565
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 8: that they told us. We thought Tombsboro was the bulldogs.

566
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 8: They told us where we Bortland was the bulldogs.

567
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 2: They were like, oh, you in the boon Dog. I

568
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 2: was like, sir, you think so they're they're on well,

569
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 2: they're on septic right now.

570
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 8: So county code means that anybody builds there has to

571
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 8: have at least an acre, a minimum of an acre

572
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 8: to put your well in your septic tank on for.

573
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 3: Your home, like a water well.

574
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 2: A waterwall, like you got a jail. Yeah, excuse me.

575
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 2: So we do have, you know, awesome technology.

576
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 8: I got all everywhere I go, Like, I shout out

577
00:27:54,760 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 8: to Moses West. He has atmospheric water generation technology that

578
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 8: literally separates the hydrogen and oxygen particles from the air

579
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 8: to generate gallons thousands of gallons a day. His technology

580
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 8: is a piece of technology that they utilized in Puerto

581
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 8: Rico to bring freshwater to Puerto Rico after the hurricane hit,

582
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 8: So like we have black excellence all around us, and

583
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 8: so being able to implement those kinds of technologies is

584
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 8: what we want to do. We want That's why when

585
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 8: I wrote my Black Blavity piece, my Opta, I said,

586
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 8: we can have what kind of like we really can,

587
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 8: Like the sky is not even the limit. Like anything

588
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 8: we can conceive, we can create, and there are so

589
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 8: many people already out here doing it, doing it dope,

590
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 8: like doing some dope things. So being able to attract

591
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 8: those kinds of resources and those kinds of people has

592
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 8: been the most exciting part about it, and which is

593
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 8: one of the reasons why we went public. Because everybody

594
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 8: always talk about you know, on conversations on social media.

595
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: I people talk too much. I should have kept it

596
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 2: to y'allself, and.

597
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 8: I'm just like, but we would not have inspired a

598
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 8: generation people all over the world. We wouldn't have been

599
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 8: able to attract the resources people like, look, I will

600
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 8: help you do this because they want to see this succeed.

601
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 2: Because we had so many black cities that were burnt down.

602
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 8: To completely destroyed for no reason other than white aggression

603
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 8: and jealousy in misdirection. And so this is a chance

604
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 8: for our ancestors do something that can honor them because

605
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 8: they were so talented, they had so many dreams, so

606
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 8: many prayers, and to be the answer to those prayers

607
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 8: is what this moment is about.

608
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 6: So I'm going to ask all three of you a question,

609
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 6: and ask I've heard you speak about it before, but

610
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 6: the importance and you use the word a safe haven

611
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 6: for black families, what does that look like and how

612
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 6: does that come about?

613
00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,120
Speaker 3: I guess all three of you can answer really.

614
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 9: Uh okay, yeah, all right.

615
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 7: So growing up, like I'm from New York too, and

616
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 7: we used to have the Pledge of allegiance. This is

617
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 7: this is what I was saying on the zoom, but

618
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 7: the zoom the audio went out a little bit Pledge

619
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 7: of allegiance. You stand to your feet, you put your

620
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 7: hand over your heart, turn to the flag. All right,

621
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 7: I'm gonna spare you the words. But at the end

622
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 7: it says liberty and justice for all, and that wasn't

623
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,640
Speaker 7: really reflected in my neighborhood. I was a little confused

624
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,239
Speaker 7: growing up, you know, like every day you brainwashing us

625
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 7: to say this, but that's not what I'm seeing, you

626
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 7: know what I mean, where's the liberty and justice for

627
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 7: all the all part, you know. So I guess I

628
00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 7: started my path to just kind of go down and

629
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 7: have it make sense for me eventually, you know. So

630
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 7: networking that's how it became an entrepreneur.

631
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 3: You know.

632
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 7: It just didn't feel right, you know, going and making

633
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 7: somebody else rich and you know, getting the peanuts and

634
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 7: not really getting the the respect that I needed, Like

635
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 7: I'm running this company, you know, so just trying to

636
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 7: make that make sense, you know. So I do that

637
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 7: with my family, with my friends, with people I meet strangers,

638
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 7: you know, because that's the change I want to see

639
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 7: in the world. So I live that, you know. So

640
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 7: that's what that looks like for me. People that have

641
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 7: a vision that may not have the support that they

642
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,719
Speaker 7: may that they may need. You know, it's tough being

643
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 7: an entrepreneur, I know, you know how many man just

644
00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 7: as my mom still wants me to be a pilot

645
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 7: to this day.

646
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 5: To this day.

647
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 7: Sorry Mom, it's not happy you no, But but for

648
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 7: those people who need that support, that's all it takes.

649
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 7: You know, you have a vision, you may not have

650
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 7: the little components that you may need, but your neighbor

651
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 7: might have it. Your cousin's friend might have it, you know,

652
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 7: somebody went to high school with, might know somebody you know.

653
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 7: Get that network together right and then you can achieve that,

654
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 7: you know. But the key thing with that is getting

655
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,000
Speaker 7: the right mindset. So we don't want that kind of

656
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 7: mindset in our land, in our world. Know that mindset

657
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:08,479
Speaker 7: is everything, just everything. You know, if you think you

658
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 7: can or you think you can't, probably right, oh right,

659
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. So you know, I gotta

660
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 7: think actually again for you know, we talk even before this,

661
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 7: you know, offline about a lot of different entrepreneurial experiences

662
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 7: and things that we wanted to do. But it's because

663
00:32:23,280 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 7: of the mindset. I wouldn't have conversations I have with her,

664
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 7: with you know, my neighbor who doesn't have.

665
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: The mindset for it.

666
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 7: So that's the kind of people that we want to see.

667
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 7: That's the safe haven. When we say the safe haven,

668
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 7: it's not only from police and things of that nature,

669
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 7: but it's from all forms of oppression. Oppression is not

670
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 7: just police, you know, that could be negative vibes from

671
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 7: a spouse or from a loved one, or from your boss,

672
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 7: or from your neighbor or your parents, or from whoever,

673
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 7: you know, So a place where you can feel free

674
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 7: to experience life and you don't have to worry about

675
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 7: that kind of stuff and you can really focus on

676
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 7: your dream and your mission, you know. So you know,

677
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,120

678

Speaker 10: Out to us. A safe even for me, you know,

684
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 10: similar to what you guys were saying as well. You know,

685
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 10: I have I have an eight year old son and

686
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 10: a nine year old nephew that stayed with me and everything,

687
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 10: and it's like, you know, they get to go outside

688
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,959
Speaker 10: and not have to worry about microaggressions from you know,

689
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 10: a neighbor who doesn't understand their culture, you know, riding

690
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 10: down the street on their bike and he might be

691
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 10: too close to the cars and now he's calling the

692
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 10: police or throwing rocks or something like that. You know,

693
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 10: they can really just be free, like literally be free.

694
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 10: You know, you go outside and you don't have to

695
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 10: worry about where they're at, and you're gonna want to know,

696
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 10: you know, just because but you don't have to worry

697
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 10: about where they're like really worried. Because I'm Aberund. My

698
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 10: dad was in the military. I used to leave the

699
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 10: house at eight o'clock in the morning and not show

700
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 10: up until now, No one ever worried about where I was.

701
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 10: I mean, my parents never showed the interesting me. They

702
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 10: showed the interest, but they weren't worried. I know, they

703
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 10: weren't worried, And so that's what the same tabe is

704
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 10: for me. Then also this whole land you know, this

705
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 10: whole experience is it not just the safe haven. It's

706
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 10: more of like retribution, Like we're getting land back. We're

707
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 10: taking land that was taken away from people in my

708
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 10: family from years ago. I'm like, as this is becoming,

709
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 10: you know, as I'm getting more involved with this, you know,

710
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,359
Speaker 10: I'm talking to my family members and knowing more because

711
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 10: you know, I'm involved with this, and they're telling me

712
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 10: stories of things that happened to them, you know in

713
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 10: the forties and the fifties, how land was literally just

714
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 10: taken from them.

715
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 9: Like like you know what, this is not yours? Anymore.

716
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 5: I'm taking it.

717
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,120
Speaker 9: You can't do anything.

718
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:24,759
Speaker 5: About it, you know.

719
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,319
Speaker 10: So I'm like, wow, I didn't even like I had

720
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 10: no ideas even happen in my family. But now I'm

721
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,800
Speaker 10: learning about the history of my family, not just mine.

722
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 10: It's so many people in the South who have land

723
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 10: like literally taken from them, like just just because they

724
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 10: were black, no other reason than that, just because you

725
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 10: were black.

726
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 9: I want this land.

727
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 10: It's mine now, So all these like you know, especially

728
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 10: in Concord, Georgia. You know it's owned by one family,

729
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 10: but that one family literally was taking land away from

730
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 10: black people. It was like, it was wow, Like my

731
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 10: generation is a part of that. Like my cousin, one

732
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,719
Speaker 10: of my older cousins, Remember, he literally remembers the house

733
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 10: burning down because they burned it down in order to

734
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 10: get that land.

735
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 5: That it was that serious.

736
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 9: I hadn't mean, I had no idea, you know what

737
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 9: I'm saying.

738
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 10: None of these conversations were had just because you know,

739
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,320
Speaker 10: they kind of wanted to get rid of those memories,

740
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 10: and now this is kind of brought them back up.

741
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 10: Like I told them, like, you know what, I'm gonna

742
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 10: speak for you guys. I'm gonna make sure that you know,

743
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 10: people know your story and I'm this land is for

744
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 10: y'all too, so you can come up here and get

745
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:15,240
Speaker 10: some red dirt play wherever.

746
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 5: You want to do, you know.

747
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 6: So that's that's that's what it means as well, just

748
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 6: going through that process, discovering that and now, yes, that's crazy,

749
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 6: that's amazing.

750
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 4: Because this sounds like a very costly project as far as,

751
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 4: like you said, even the sewage system.

752
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,560

774
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,799
Speaker 6: podcasts about work are boring, and sure, they definitely can be,

00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:50,560

777
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,720

00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 5: type of project?

802
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 2: Or yes, we can get loans.

803
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 4: Just can you talk about like how does get loan

804
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 4: for something that's not built? Like, well, how does that work?

805
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: Yeah?

806
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 8: So, I mean, first of all, we're in rural lands,

807
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 8: so we get USDA opportunities for our agricultural USDA loans.

808
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 5: We haven't talked about that yet, but that's something that

809
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 5: people should be very very.

810
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 8: Aware aware, especially if you're talking about building a house

811
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 8: in the rural area.

812
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 2: It's a zero down payment.

813
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 5: Can you talk about that, yeah, USDA, Yeah, So.

814
00:38:56,880 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 8: The United States Department of Agriculture pretty much get guarantees

815
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 8: that you go through a bank, le your traditional bank.

816
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 8: You let them know that I'm purchasing in this area.

817
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 8: It's similar to like even a VA loan. You qualify

818
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 8: for a VA loan by being a honorably discharged veteran

819
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 8: or you could be still in the Armed forces. But

820
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 8: it's a zero down loan, and our federal government backs

821
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 8: those loans, so if you didn't pay it, they would

822
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 8: be responsible for it. So the threshold for requirements are

823
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 8: a little lower than traditional conventional loans. So that's why

824
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 8: you're able to get that loan at zero down versus

825
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 8: having to put your twenty percent down because the government

826
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 8: backs it. You go through a regular bank, you can

827
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 8: go through a land bank or what's known as an

828
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,680
Speaker 8: agricultural bank, a credit union, and you just say, hey,

829
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 8: I want to purchase this land in this rural area.

830
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 8: It does have to qualify based on the zip code

831
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:00,120
Speaker 8: it's in but if it does meet those qualifications. When

832
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 8: you meet certain qualifications, then you'll be able to purchase

833
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 8: it through their zero down program.

834
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 4: So so you got the USDA loans and any other

835
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 4: type of like regular banks, they can their loan money

836
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 4: as well.

837
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

838
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 8: Absolutely, And so the key is to have a good

839
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 8: credit score.

840
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 2: Make sure the people.

841
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 8: If you're talking about getting a loan for your business,

842
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,360
Speaker 8: everybody in the business needs to also have good credit.

843
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,520
Speaker 2: So credit is essential.

844
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 8: It's the essential thing in this game is making sure

845
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 8: that credit score. Everybody should be shooting for at least

846
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 8: a seven hundred. I would love to see eight hundreds.

847
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 8: But the reality is the thing that keeps a lot

848
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 8: of people from progressing in life is the ability to

849
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 8: leverage credit. And the way that you leverage credit is

850
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 8: by having that credit score. And you have to show

851
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 8: those income streams. You need to be able to show

852
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 8: that you have cash flow and revenue streams coming in

853
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 8: so that you can get as much credit as you

854
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 8: possibly can. So right now we're at that place because

855
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,319
Speaker 8: we're a brand new business. It's hard for for us

856
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 8: to get traditional credit right now without having assets and

857
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 8: to show that we got income streams. We don't have

858
00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 8: income streams yet because we're building a town, so we

859
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 8: have to take the route of working with a hard

860
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 8: money lender, and that's private money that has a little

861
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,359
Speaker 8: less stringent underwriting. So there's a million ways to skin

862
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 8: a cat. The most important thing is to make sure

863
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 8: that your credit score is as high as it possibly

864
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:25,279
Speaker 8: can be.

865
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 2: And so that leads me to.

866
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 8: I'm a brand ambassador for a black owned, not black

867
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 8: managed credit and business financing and funding company called Novay Money,

868
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 8: and so that organization actually helps people to increase their

869
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 8: credit score, helps them to establish business credit and access funding,

870
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 8: because that's what we need to actually be able to

871
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:56,160
Speaker 8: build our businesses, is that good credit and that access

872
00:41:56,200 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 8: to capital. And since venture capitalists traditionally are still not

873
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 8: funding black businesses, all of.

874
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 2: The research is dismal.

875
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 8: Even now, even after all these people came out and

876
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 8: said black lives matter, we ready to support y'all, nothing

877
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,439
Speaker 8: has changed in the venture capitalist space. So we have

878
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 8: to have this ability to access money through our black

879
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 8: banks like Unity Bank, like Citizens Trust Bank, one United Bank,

880
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 8: having those relationships Unity Bank and that credit score because

881
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 8: they can only do so much, Like you can't go

882
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 8: to the bank without no income streams and without and

883
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 8: with poor credit. So it's up to us to make

884
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 8: sure that we're educated, we're financially educated, that we understand

885
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:50,520
Speaker 8: the entire credit pie because the reality is you could

886
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 8: have missed a few payments. That's not the only way

887
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,400
Speaker 8: to increase your credit score. You can increase your credit

888
00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 8: score by opening additional lines of credit. You can increase

889
00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 8: your credit score by making sure your oldest line of

890
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 8: credit doesn't close, that you keep that open forever in

891
00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 8: your history. Like, there's these pieces to the pie that

892
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 8: we have to become more educated about. And when we

893
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 8: are able, for every eight hundred creates one hundred thousand

894
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 8: of leverage.

895
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 6: So when you and shout Rene, because Rene has been

896
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 6: emailing you back and forth shouting when you were in

897
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 6: the quote unquote drafting, is that some of the criteria

898
00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 6: You're like, listen, guys, if you want to be part

899
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 6: of this, this is no.

900
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:34,239
Speaker 2: I wasn't. Yeah, it was after the day, and that

901
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:38,480
Speaker 2: now we have to contend with. Yeah, I'm in real

902
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 2: estate agent. I'm like, look, we just gonna get this land.

903
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 2: Like I was like, who got this check?

904
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 8: And so everybody came up with the board I land

905
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 8: like so no, in that case, No, we do have

906
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 8: We do have some people in our collective as exceptional credit.

907
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 2: We have some people who have challenge credit. I have.

908
00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 8: I'm just now getting to the place where I'm not

909
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 8: so challenged, you know, like it's a journey, and we

910
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 8: have to just be honest and have these kinds of

911
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 8: conversations because it's not impossible. You just have to have

912
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 8: the right education and right partners and accountability partners are everything.

913
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 2: People like Kevin when he started talking about his CRIS,

914
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, get my game.

915
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 8: To make sure I got my little self together. I'm like,

916
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 8: I want to be able to go get my.

917
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:25,439
Speaker 2: R V too.

918
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 8: So those are the conversations that you have with you know,

919
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 8: like we keep saying, like minded individuals, we go further

920
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 8: faster together.

921
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:35,600
Speaker 2: That credit is everything.

922
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think it's dope because you're growing together.

923
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 6: But you're also educating each other. Right, So you didn't

924
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 6: come in with that education, but now everybody's on the

925
00:44:44,800 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 6: same plan and everybody's educating each other. I want to

926
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 6: go back to the land because I heard and I

927
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 6: read the first thing that you guys are doing is

928
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 6: building out the agriculture and the farming.

929
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 3: You talk about why that's so important.

930
00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean food is everything. Like we watch enough

931

Speaker 8: when it all goes down and it's fee out, money

934
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 8: start crashing, what we're gonna need to eat and some water.

935
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 8: So that's why farming comes first around here.

936
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 2: Now.

937
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 8: Granted, we've been doing more events first because that's just

938
00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 8: a revenue stream that's quick and easy. Camp out events.

939
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 8: We got dope musicians and our collective. My husband's a musician,

940
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 8: our friend Q is a dope song stress, my pastor

941
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:41,200
Speaker 8: and first Lady, our dope our ministry and worship leaders.

942
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,879
Speaker 8: So we have dope events like our jam sessions be lit.

943
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 8: So the events are one of the first things that

944
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 8: we've been doing because that's like the lowest cost barrier

945
00:45:52,400 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 8: that we can start generating revenue from because you just

946
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:56,840
Speaker 8: need the land, right.

947
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 3: So is that what the Big Black.

948
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,520
Speaker 2: Bank jobs were coming to the Big.

949
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 6: Black camp Out because I might go camping, get some

950
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 6: people camping.

951
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,480
Speaker 2: There was a lot of people. Can people came from.

952
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 3: All over then tell everybody what it is.

953
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:16,080
Speaker 8: So the Big Black camp Out is our annual event

954
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 8: where we are encouraging black families to get outdoors. We

955
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 8: hashtag Diversify Outdoors because there's an entire black camping culture

956
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 8: like shout out the Melanated Camp, Black Urban Camp Weekend.

957

Speaker 12: we have partnered with a national nonprofit organization called the

995
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 12: Black Achievement Fund.

996
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 8: The Black Achievement Fund is a simple concept. Ten million

997
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 8: black folks giving nine dollars a month, there's less than Hulu,

998
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 8: there's less than Netflix. You got nine dollars, that's less

999
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 8: than your coffee you spend on a weekday. We can

1000
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 8: create a sustainable income of ninety million dollars a month

1001
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 8: where we can then create our own communities with our

1002
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 8: own money.

1003
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 2: We don't got to owe nobody nothing but to love them.

1004
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 8: And if we can create this with this just nine

1005
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 8: dollars membership, we are offering grants, business loans. We'll be

1006
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 8: building businesses of much needed services like dentists offices and

1007
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 8: administrative offices that just by being a member that pays

1008
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,879
Speaker 8: nine dollars a month, you'll be able to access these

1009
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 8: services at no cost or at cost and adult visit.

1010
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1011
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 8: So the president and the founder of the Black Achievement

1012
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 8: Fund is an exceptional historian historian.

1013
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 2: From Cornell University.

1014
00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 8: He has conceptualized this, tested this, there's re search that

1015
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 8: went into this, that this is how we build for ourselves.

1016
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 8: And so we are designated so you can make a

1017
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:13,239
Speaker 8: tax deductible donation and designate the Freedom Georgia Initiative. And

1018
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 8: whenever we do anything Black Achievement Fund members hear about

1019
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 8: it first, because that's how you put your money where

1020
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 8: your mouth is. This is how we create economic power.

1021
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 8: This is how we create political power by joining together

1022
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 8: and putting our money where our mouth is.

1023
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:30,760
Speaker 2: And it's just nine dollars.

1024
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 8: And that little gift, that donation that you're gonna get

1025
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 8: to write off anyway at the end of the year,

1026
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 8: that's gonna make a big impact for our communities.

1027
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 2: And it comes with benefits. Membership has benefits.

1028
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 8: So you can go to www dot b a f

1029
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:51,239
Speaker 8: dot Solutions and you can really really be a part

1030
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,719
Speaker 8: of joining this movement by contributing that nine dollars a month.

1031
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this, so all right, so when

1032
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 4: did you guys think is gonna be up and running,

1033
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 4: like as far as like when are were breaking around

1034
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 4: on the first house or the first road or what

1035
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,919
Speaker 4: what does come first? Like is the houses come first?

1036
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:10,959
Speaker 4: Is the farm come first?

1037
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 2: The farm comes first first.

1038
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,200
Speaker 8: So the first thing that we're doing is the farmhouse.

1039
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 8: Because we have a master farmer that is a part

1040
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 8: of our collective.

1041
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 2: And to be perfectly honest, like.

1042
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:25,360
Speaker 8: Until we can liberate her from the corporate plantation, she

1043
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 8: can't come farm.

1044
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 2: So we got to build her house.

1045
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,440
Speaker 8: We gotta make sure she's got a salary, and then

1046
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 8: we can start the farming because someone's got to be

1047
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 8: there around the clock to actually farm that land and

1048
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 8: you know, make sure it's growing the right way, that's

1049
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 8: getting the right water, that the pollination is going away,

1050
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:46,320
Speaker 8: because sometimes you have to self pollinate these days because.

1051
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 2: The bees is disappearing. We got a lot of bees

1052
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 2: on our land.

1053
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 8: We got bees, but you do need someone there to

1054
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,160
Speaker 8: tend the land, like we have to stewart the land.

1055
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 8: So the very first step is to make sure that

1056
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,719
Speaker 8: the person who's qualified, our certified master farmer, has the

1057
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 8: ability to live there and do that. So as soon

1058
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 8: as we can, we're going to be putting our farmhouse

1059
00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:16,439
Speaker 8: and that'll actually serve as an income stream because we'll

1060
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 8: be able to airb and be it and invite guests

1061
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,560
Speaker 8: and visitors to come enjoy the land, and then we'll

1062
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,839
Speaker 8: have the farming and start. The next step from there

1063
00:52:24,920 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 8: will be our teeny retreat center, like we want to

1064
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 8: have teeny cabins so that way people can because the

1065
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 8: land is gorgeous.

1066
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,800
Speaker 2: If we don't do nothing else but just come and hang.

1067
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 8: Out and just spend time on the land, that experience

1068
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 8: alone is worth every penny because it's just so nice.

1069
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 8: And so by creating this avery tourism and eco tourism economy,

1070
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 8: first will begin to start putting the houses and the

1071
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 8: vacation homes, the retirement homes.

1072
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 2: Every phase leads to the next phase.

1073
00:52:56,760 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 6: So how often, because I remember when we were talking,

1074
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 6: it was like, k I'm not going to be on

1075
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,919
Speaker 6: the land that day. How often is somebody I guess,

1076
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 6: out of the nineteen families actually on the land, is

1077
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 6: somebody always there?

1078
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:08,600
Speaker 2: No, That's why.

1079
00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 8: We'd be like, stop calling us and stop showing up

1080
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 8: to our land, y'all, Like not just come jumping up,

1081
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 8: you know, people crazy. Yeah, and we got signs up now,

1082
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,439
Speaker 8: stop trespassing on our land y'all.

1083
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:22,720
Speaker 2: People just driving around.

1084
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's the tree I saw.

1085
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 8: Don't come to our land unless we invite you, like people.

1086
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:35,839
Speaker 2: All the time, but we are not there. We got

1087
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 2: regular jobs.

1088
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 8: Like one of the things we say at the time

1089
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 8: is like we regular people, even though we're not regular.

1090
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 2: Really we're a little regularly, you.

1091
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 8: Know, we're exceptional people, but we're regular, you know, Like,

1092
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,720
Speaker 8: so we got jobs, like my husband works for Marda,

1093
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 8: So we don't be at the land every weekend we

1094
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,239
Speaker 8: go when we got something to do. When we got

1095
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 8: like so this weekend that we're getting ready to be there,

1096
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 8: we're building a sweat lodge because we're getting ready to

1097
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,440
Speaker 8: have an event called a Black Girl Magic Retreat is

1098
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 8: a private event that we're hosting. And then we have

1099
00:54:09,400 --> 00:54:12,200
Speaker 8: our Freedom Fall Festival coming up. So whenever we have

1100
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 8: an event, it brings us to the land. When we

1101
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 8: got something going on, we ain't got nothing going on

1102
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 8: with it.

1103
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 3: I heard this and I'm like, how's this pot?

1104
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 6: Well, obviously you have aography, got somebody that's doing it.

1105
00:54:23,160 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 3: Maybe obviously engineers going to create a lake.

1106
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how.

1107
00:54:32,280 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 5: Well.

1108
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,279
Speaker 8: We are lucky enough to have a creek already on

1109
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 8: the land, and so there's a couple of ways that

1110
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 8: can happen, Like we'll have to.

1111
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:41,919
Speaker 2: Dig first, Like digging is the major thing.

1112
00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 8: If we're lucky enough, we'll hit a spring or aquifire

1113
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 8: that might actually make the lake happen for us, Like

1114
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 8: that will be the most idental situation when we hit

1115
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:54,360
Speaker 8: a spring that would be lovely.

1116
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 2: We have to fill it up.

1117
00:54:58,239 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 3: When we call it Moses West.

1118
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 2: Let me holler, Let that water atmospheric.

1119
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 3: Generator we're gonna need a million gallons, and.

1120
00:55:07,120 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 2: Then that's how you fill it up. You order the water,

1121
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 2: you fill it up.

1122
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,919
Speaker 8: It's some things that we might have to gravel it,

1123
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:14,520
Speaker 8: or we might have to put some clay.

1124
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 2: It's probably clay.

1125
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 8: We might it might already be clay because we kind

1126
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:18,839
Speaker 8: of it's funny enough.

1127
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 2: The street is called Little Sandy Creek, so.

1128
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,520
Speaker 8: It's probably not what we want, which is sand, because

1129
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 8: sand means the water we constantly filter out of it.

1130
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 8: We'd have to keep filling it back up, or we'll

1131
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 8: have to amend the soil in such a way that

1132
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,439
Speaker 8: we have enough clay that it keeps the water in there.

1133
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 8: So it's it's a lot of engineering. I'm not the expert,

1134
00:55:40,560 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 8: but we have people who are. Are one of our elders,

1135
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 8: we call her profit is Caroline Sunny.

1136
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 2: Every week, that's her.

1137
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 8: She's a fisherman and her and her husband they own

1138
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 8: a boat.

1139
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 2: They go fishing all the time.

1140
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 8: So right now they're okay because the Coney river's right there,

1141
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:00,680
Speaker 8: so the good green they boat down.

1142
00:56:00,719 --> 00:56:02,839
Speaker 2: They go on the river. But they're like, look this lake.

1143
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,720
Speaker 8: This lake, though, that's the only thing they worry about

1144
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 8: right now. This Lake, and I'm like, I promised them

1145
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 8: with lake. That's how I knew they was gonna sign

1146
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 8: up that they wanted the lake, because like I'm a marketer,

1147
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 8: So I was like, I look, I was like, I

1148
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 8: know who I want and I know what they hot button.

1149
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 2: So I was like, we're gonna put this lake on

1150
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 2: this presentation.

1151
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 4: So let me let me ask you this, because you

1152
00:56:25,520 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 4: any of you guys can ser this. You always hear

1153
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 4: like Georgia Georgia and Atlanta is different, like Atlanta is

1154
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 4: like the Black Haven, but once you go outside of Atlanta,

1155
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 4: it's like it's a whole different environment. So you guys

1156
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 4: are outside of Atlanta in the country, We've heard so

1157
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 4: many stories about the South, the rural south, the country, like.

1158
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,919
Speaker 5: You know what I mean, Like it's it's true. So yeah,

1159
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 5: how's thet.

1160
00:56:48,080 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 4: How's the hospitality been? And being that you're looking to

1161
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,760
Speaker 4: buy more land, do you think that now that people

1162
00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 4: know what you did, like that they'll be reluctant.

1163
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,280
Speaker 2: No, they're happy to sell all land. Like people are.

1164
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 8: Always happy to make money, Like they don't never change.

1165
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 9: Like this one thing. They all care about that game.

1166
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 12: Right.

1167
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 10: The folks down there are welcoming though. Everybody's that everyone

1168
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,480
Speaker 10: in that area, in that county, county.

1169
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's their family oriented because this is the kind

1170
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,760
Speaker 8: of place. Like Wilkinson County has nine thousand residents, so

1171
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 8: they got three schools Wilkinson High School, Wilkinson Middle School,

1172
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 8: Wilkinson Elementary for seven cities.

1173
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 5: Everybody goes to school.

1174
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 8: Everybody go to They.

1175
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,160
Speaker 9: Literally just walking to your property as if they like

1176
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 9: they know you.

1177
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 5: Like this is like.

1178
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 2: It's like sir, Now they do all walk it's the country.

1179
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 2: So they all walk around with guns.

1180
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 8: The right to bear arms is big, like and that's anybody,

1181
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 8: the white folks, black folks, everybody got we got guns.

1182
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 8: We have guns like an amendment rights. We got guns.

1183
00:57:51,400 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 2: And to be clear.

1184
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 12: To be clear, we are legal, like we're veterans, like

1185
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 12: we got guns.

1186
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 2: You know how we do.

1187
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 3: So we're creating the loss.

1188
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 8: So everybody's been cool, everybody has been kind. Like I said,

1189
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 8: it's a it's a diverse community. It's lots of good

1190
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 8: black folks, lots of good white folks. Everybody is not

1191
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 8: even really about color. It's about a culture. And they

1192
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 8: got that kind of small town culture that makes you

1193
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 8: feel at home, makes you want to be there. Like

1194
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 8: every time I go, I feel like I'm going home,

1195
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 8: Like it feels so good whenever we get.

1196
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 7: To Absolutely there have been people that came to the

1197
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 7: land and got lost, and one of the locals, just

1198
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:37,800
Speaker 7: in the pickup truck, was like, yeah, we are.

1199
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 2: Found some people over here.

1200
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:42,280
Speaker 3: I think they're looking for you.

1201
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:47,920
Speaker 9: Exactly.

1202
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 8: They because it's a lot that's a big hunting community,

1203
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 8: and so like they be hunting, so they.

1204
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:54,800
Speaker 5: Noticed we do they have.

1205
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 10: We're gonna we're gonna do it too with wild turkey

1206
00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 10: hunting and board honting.

1207
00:58:58,440 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 2: Yep, dove hunting.

1208
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 6: Interesting some of some of the I guess I feedback,

1209
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 6: but our criticism of it is that all you guys

1210
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,600
Speaker 6: are building a black community. But I like the word

1211
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 6: you said, allies, So that's not it's not that it's

1212
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 6: just for black people.

1213
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 3: You will have people of other races.

1214
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 6: I'm gonna take care of the world, I know, So

1215
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 6: that that's the purpose of it right there there.

1216
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 3: There's it's going to be diversity as well where you go.

1217
00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 2: Where we ain't got diversity.

1218
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 4: But I don't even see why it even has to

1219
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 4: be diverse, because you go to Chinatown and there's no

1220
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 4: diversity and nobody nobody says anything. Yeah, every major city

1221
00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 4: in America and all over the world.

1222
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 6: It's crazy because that was that was part of the critics.

1223
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 6: Like when we put the post up, it was like,

1224
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 6: oh my god, this is racist.

1225
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 10: I saw that on your Black people try to do

1226
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 10: anything they try, it's always something that you always trying

1227
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 10: to find something wrong with it to discredit it. Something

1228
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 10: this is the problem with this is the problem days,

1229
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 10: Like come on now, I mean, like you were saying,

1230
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:03,920
Speaker 10: just tying totown, no one going to complain about that.

1231
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:04,959
Speaker 9: I know in New York.

1232
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 5: My wife is in the Long Island.

1233
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 10: And she was we woul drive around when I first

1234
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 10: met her, and she was I was like, no, fascinating

1235
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 10: New York and all that, and she would just show

1236
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:13,840
Speaker 10: me these places where even if you had the money,

1237
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 10: you can't live there because if you're not you know,

1238
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,160
Speaker 10: Italian or from China, you know China, whatever the case

1239
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:19,560
Speaker 10: may be, they don't want you and then you're not

1240
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,080
Speaker 10: going to live there. So no one goes to complain

1241
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 10: about that at all. I mean, it's just the way

1242
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 10: it is. But you come up. We would have a

1243
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:25,480
Speaker 10: city and I was sitting with this and with.

1244
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 7: That, it is like, come on now, well you know

1245
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 7: that's the reason why I think that's a big reason

1246
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 7: why we even did this, all right, because I mean,

1247
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 7: I mean, I mean, I was originally was born in Trinidad,

1248
01:00:34,240 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 7: but I grew up in Brooklyn. One of my friends

1249
01:00:37,480 --> 01:00:42,160
Speaker 7: wanted to get a Brownstone and in the best style area,

1250
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 7: and she had to go through one of her allies

1251
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 7: to get it. They would they literally would not sell

1252
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 7: to her. She showed up in her blackness, you know,

1253
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 7: she's Afro Latina, and they were like, oh, yeah, it's

1254
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 7: just missed it not for sale. Is we have another

1255
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 7: buyer or whatever whatever the story was, showed up with.

1256
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 5: One of her allies.

1257
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 7: Boom, paperwork done. But so just to talk about what

1258
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 7: you were saying, Yeah, there's a little China, Italy, you know,

1259
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 7: all of these different places.

1260
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:13,320
Speaker 5: Nobody say anything about that.

1261
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:16,120
Speaker 7: When a construction company and a whole subdivision goes up,

1262
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 7: it's not a white subdivision. It's just a subdivision just

1263
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 7: happen to be millenated. I mean, I don't really see

1264
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:24,880
Speaker 7: the big deal, but apparently I know where we are.

1265
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 2: I know, I think the fact.

1266
01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 8: That we said it like that's the thing, like we

1267
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 8: set it out loud is the problem, and it's not

1268
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 8: and it shouldn't be a problem because what we typically

1269
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 8: see is they discriminate through finances. Because if you put

1270
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 8: a three hundred thousand dollars house up, most people who

1271
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 8: look like us can't afford it, and those who can,

1272
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 8: when they do buy it, they probably are going to

1273
01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 8: feel very unwelcome.

1274
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 3: They ain't gonna be three hundred. It's gonna be like

1275
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 3: four hundred.

1276
01:01:59,040 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 12: It might be five.

1277
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 2: Especially when we start talking about.

1278
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 8: Gated communities and top areas with the best schools, they

1279
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 8: we get priced out of it, and so they don't

1280
01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 8: have to call it a white community.

1281
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 2: They just call it a rich community.

1282
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,919
Speaker 8: And if you happen to be black and get in there,

1283
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:19,160
Speaker 8: they're gonna make you feel unwealthy.

1284
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 10: They're gonna be one of you be one of a few,

1285
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,760
Speaker 10: and then you know you're gonna have a kid, especially

1286
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:27,520
Speaker 10: they're darthy, and they're gonna you get area is gonna.

1287
01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 2: Be Yeah, you're gonna wonder why they constantly.

1288
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, though, because that's

1289
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 7: that's something that we haven't been able to control. The

1290
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 7: narrative in the initial stages. You know, these news agencies

1291
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 7: they want you know, hot yea, they want to sensationalize it,

1292
01:02:49,160 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 7: you know. And it was like, you know, I saw

1293
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 7: one post and that says, yeah, nineteen black families by

1294
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 7: some land, but the black was like bold and a

1295
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 7: different font, you know, three sizes is bigger, and I'm like,

1296
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 7: here we go. And then that's where you get those

1297
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 7: comments from. Yeah, it's a town built by black people,

1298
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 7: But that don't mean if you're not black, you're not welcome,

1299
01:03:10,600 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 7: you know what I mean. So you know, I just

1300
01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 7: want to throw that out there. It's not reverse racism

1301
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 7: and all this other stuff. It's just we trying to

1302
01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 7: be the change we want to see in our society,

1303
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 7: and our society hasn't.

1304
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 5: Been showing that for us. So we're going to do

1305
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 5: it ourselves.

1306
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 3: To freedom, simple, to freedom.

1307
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:30,959
Speaker 4: Freedom for one hundred acres in the mule?

1308
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 5: Did you get the mule?

1309
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:36,720
Speaker 2: We gonna get us a.

1310
01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, we'll have a stable of champion breeding horses if

1311
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 8: we're lucky. But we look forward to a wonderful relationship

1312
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:51,920
Speaker 8: with a heavy equipment company because we ain't got time for.

1313
01:03:56,400 --> 01:04:01,000
Speaker 2: Equipment, right, give us a call.

1317
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:14,560

1326
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:40,880

1327
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,439
Speaker 10: have had the guidance to even move forward. I would

1328
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 10: have been, you know, just still figuring out what I

1329
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:46,800

01:07:54,080 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 7: You know, we're doing it, and we didn't have the

1396
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:01,160
Speaker 7: whole plan mapped out, you know, but by starting it,

1397
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:03,280
Speaker 7: it's kind of forcing us to get to know each other,

1398
01:08:03,600 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 7: you know, how to accelerated rate. You know, all of

1399
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 7: the presses is forcing us to do that, learning these

1400
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 7: different techniques. And you know, I'm forever a student. So

1401
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,400
Speaker 7: my thing is, now is the time. Don't wait tomorrow,

1402
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 7: don't wait next year. I mean, I never thought a

1403
01:08:19,439 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 7: pandemic was gonna hit.

01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:21,760

1408
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 7: who are no longer here with us. That's where all

1409
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 7: of the wealth is. They say, the wealthiest place of

1410
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 7: knowledge is in the graveyard. Because we don't know about it.

1411
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:42,120
Speaker 7: You know, they they're deadn't gone, and now that knowledge

1412
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:44,880
