I'm sure there's artist here. What's the 179 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 6: advantage just being independent with the advantages of being on 180 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 6: the major You know, what's your perspective on seeing both 181 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 6: sides of the coin. 182 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 10: So the first time I'm gonna be one hundred, I 183 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 10: signed to a major label because I needed some money. 184 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 3: You know what, I'm saying I just came on from 185 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: prison or whatever. 186 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 10: But so to a rapper, signing to a major label 187 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 10: is like a basketball player going to the NBA. That's 188 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 10: what it felt like to us having a major deal. However, 189 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 10: it's two totally different things. 190 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 3: You know. 191 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 10: I had it in my mind that once I go 192 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 10: to a major label, I'm gone, I'm out, it's over. 193 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 3: I made it, I'm gonna be big. But it don't 194 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 3: work like that. 195 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 10: Unfortunately, you still got to put the exact same grind 196 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 10: in the same hustle, if not even more, and it's 197 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 10: less beneficial financially. You know, it makes more sense to 198 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 10: stay independent, especially if you're a hustler. 199 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 4: Talk about the transition. Social media's played a big role 200 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 4: in your career. I mean, I remember Vine was a thing, 201 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 4: Yeah for sure, well, and you were big on Vine, 202 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 4: and then Vine no longer existed in instag became something 203 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 4: that you had to use. Talk about studying social media 204 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 4: and using it to your advantage. 205 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 3: Definitely. 206 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 9: If I like it was only six second video, That's 207 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 9: why I talked fast to this day, because you had 208 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 9: to you had to be funny in six seconds. So 209 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 9: that's why I still talk fast. But social media, I 210 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 9: just learned what my fan base want. It Like, I 211 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 9: just kept beating certain things into their head, like some 212 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 9: people might love to guard, some might love Finn to 213 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 9: be a breeze, some like beyond me. But I always 214 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 9: had I was a catchphrase, king, Really you thought I 215 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 9: was the funniest guy. 216 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 3: Not. 217 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 9: People just gravitated to certain things that I was doing 218 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 9: from my catch phrase. So I just studied the fans, 219 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 9: and once I realized what it was that they wanted, 220 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 9: I just kept on doing it. Then the followers just 221 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 9: kept on building up from that. 222 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I got a quick follow up on that because 223 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 4: when I'm listening to vezz on thes like I made 224 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 4: that first million dollars or I signed my contract. Being 225 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 4: on social media, what was the moment was it like 226 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 4: I saw somebody post me like, because at this point, 227 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 4: I feel like you might be running Snoop Dogg's page. 228 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,800 Speaker 9: No, Snoop Dogg, he's just a genuine person, and he 229 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 9: taught me that how to beat genuine Like he just 230 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 9: always showed me that love since twenty fifteen. But yeah, 231 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 9: it was Snoop Dogg. It really took my career to 232 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 9: the next level for sure. Definitely. Like he found me 233 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 9: in twenty fifteen, came out to the East side of 234 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 9: Detroit and ever since then he's been rocking with me. 235 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, Fezo, let me ask you this. 236 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 6: As far as you talked about it's more beneficial to 237 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 6: be an independent artist, but what are some things that 238 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 6: people don't really think about when they think that, you know, 239 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 6: they're going to independent. I know, you gotta promote your 240 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 6: music yourself. You gotta, you gotta put a lot of 241 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 6: money into you gotta invest in it. So what are 242 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 6: some things that people might not be considering on the 243 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 6: independent side. 244 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 10: I mean, the most important part is what you said. 245 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 10: You have to spend that money. You gotta, you really 246 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 10: genuinely gotta invest in yourself, you know what I mean. 247 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 10: If you spend a little bit, you gonna that's what 248 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 10: you're gonna get out of it. If you spend way more, 249 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:45,599 Speaker 10: you spend a lot of money, you don't get a 250 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 10: lot out of it. But it's more than just dumping 251 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 10: a bunch of money in there. You gotta put the 252 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 10: work ethic behind it. And you can't spend money frivously, 253 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 10: you know what I mean. You gotta you gotta make 254 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 10: sure everything adding up making sense. I really thought that 255 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 10: it was gonna be a huge difference signing to a major, 256 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 10: but honestly, bro, it wasn't, you know what I mean? 257 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 3: Like everything a major do is huge. 258 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,079 Speaker 10: They do it big, you know, they go in all 259 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 10: the way, But that only come after the artists put 260 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 10: that first part of they grind in, put that initial 261 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 10: grind in. 262 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 3: And I feel like at that point, once. 263 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 10: You do the legwork to where you got a brand 264 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 10: and you got a name, and you making a couple 265 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 10: of dollars, it really don't make sense to go to 266 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 10: a major. Certain artists, yes, it makes sense, Like for me, 267 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 10: I think like R and B artists or rock artists 268 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 10: and pop artists, it makes sense for them to be 269 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 10: with majures. But people that's in my type of genre, 270 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 10: the music I make, it's really no difference, you know 271 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 10: what I mean. It's the same amount of work. However, 272 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 10: you just coming out of your own pocket. But when 273 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 10: you make the money back, you're seeing way more than 274 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 10: what you would have made back if you wasn't invest 275 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 10: in your own cheese. 276 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 6: So, like, what's the most beneficial way to spend money? 277 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 6: Like is it to pay DJs? Is it to like 278 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 6: how is it a feature? Is it a producer? 279 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 5: Like? 280 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 6: What do you think the most beneficiator for art artists 281 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 6: to spend their money. 282 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 3: Without a doubt, it's marketing, period, you know. 283 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 10: I think you need to get a team around you, 284 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 10: and you got to pay the folks you got around 285 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 10: you. You know, you get you a big strong team around you, 286 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 10: and everybody work. Everybody attack what they good at, you know, 287 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 10: and go with whatever they attribute is. And you dump 288 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 10: the money into the people around you and let them 289 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 10: do the work, you know, all while you're doing the 290 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 10: work as well. But for Shure, it's marketing promotion, you know, 291 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 10: That's the main thing. 292 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 3: I'm talking. 293 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 4: Let's talk about creating the skit, right, because I watched 294 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 4: them the voiceovers. 295 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 3: It takes time. Man. 296 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 4: Let's talk about the amount of work that goes into 297 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 4: you creating, right. 298 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 8: Is it something that you're doing every day? 299 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 4: Is it something that you're sitting down you're writing it, 300 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 4: or you're working with writers? 301 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 8: How what is that process like for you? 302 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 9: To be honest, I've never written a skit like I 303 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 9: really just cut the camera on. 304 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 3: I just go. 305 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 9: But like I'm getting ready to be on the road 306 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 9: for a while, and I know I'm getting ready to 307 00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 9: go on tour. 308 00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 3: Something I feel fat. 309 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 9: Attend for twenty skits that I can just put up 310 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 9: while I'm on the road. Okay, I ain't putting nothing 311 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 9: up in five or six days. I know the people 312 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 9: want to see something. I just put that out. But 313 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 9: the process that go into it is really just me 314 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 9: cutting on the camera. I mean, the voiceovers is probably 315 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 9: the hardest work. It's probably like it's probably awkward because 316 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 9: a lot of the videos be silent and then they'd 317 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 9: be like, what are you doing? But then I gotta 318 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 9: put the voiceover on, So it's kind of it's like 319 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 9: an awkward humor. But once I put a voiceover on, 320 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 9: it be come in life, you've become a full director. 321 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 4: When you look at some of these kits, you said something, 322 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 4: I want that to go over people's heads, you said, 323 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 4: when I'm going on tour. 324 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, we can't take that lightly. 325 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 4: Like we've watched comedians, We've watched people do sketches on 326 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 4: social media, and they can't transition to the next thing 327 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 4: because being on front and on stage in front of 328 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 4: a crowd, it's totally different than being in your base 329 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 4: and making a skit. Absolutely ablutely talk about that, man, 330 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 4: because that's an incredible feat. 331 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 3: No Ah, Yeah, the stand up thing is totally different. 332 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 9: When I first started doing stand up in twenty fifteen, 333 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 9: I thought just because I was famous that I I 334 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 9: could do stand up.

But 347 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 9: it's definitely it's definitely a hard process that stage because 348 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 9: like with the skits, I can go back and reshoot that. 349 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 9: On the stage, it's like right now, you gotta be 350 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 9: funny right now, Like people standing right now, you gotta 351 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 9: be funny right now or they not coming back. 352 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 3: To see you.

Like are y'all working together 657 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 4: on that level of thought? 658 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,040 Speaker 10: We for sure was thinking like that. Me Peas and Ray. 659 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 10: We used to be a rap group called Team. He said, 660 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 10: you heard about that. Yes, yeah, we was a rap group. 661 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 10: We wrapped together for some years and we set out 662 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 10: a plan and everything that we're doing now, we talked 663 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 10: about it, we wrote it down, you know what I mean. 664 00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 3: We had meetings about it. We made it. We made 665 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 3: it happen. 666 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 10: I always look for what the person before me had 667 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,280 Speaker 10: done wrong, so I can not do the same thing 668 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:31,919 Speaker 10: that they did, you know what I mean. So I 669 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 10: think it's important that you look at what somebody else 670 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 10: ain't doing right so you don't make the same mistake. 671 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 6: Make some noise for ha ha Davids and icewear vessels 672 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 6: and gentlemen. 673 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 5: We appreciate these guys. 674 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,080 Speaker 6: Man, all right, we're not done yet, so we're gonna 675 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 6: bring up the honorable Hill Harper.

Everybody, 701 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:10,040 Speaker 11: years years ago. I was in Los Angeles at the time. 702 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 11: I don't know how we got connected, but we went 703 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,360 Speaker 11: to lunch. Yes, we went to lunch. You remember where 704 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 11: we went to lunch. 705 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 8: We were in Beverly Hills, bell Air, bell Air Air. 706 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 11: We were in bel Air. We went to lunch at 707 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 11: the bel Air Hotel. 708 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 3: Yes, and you. 709 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 11: Remember what we ate, oysters and lobster salads. And his 710 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 11: brother said, this is real, real talk. He said, man, 711 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 11: this is the first time I had a lobster salad. 712 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 12: But you all are doing so very Hollywood. 713 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 11: Listen, give it up for these two because they have 714 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,280 Speaker 11: built literally. 715 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 12: A multi, multi multimillion. 716 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 11: Dollar empire that has created jobs, It's created opportunity, It's 717 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 11: created multiple opportunities for people all the way down on 718 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 11: multiple levels. And that's exactly what entrepreneurship is. That's exactly 719 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,920 Speaker 11: what happens when we support our own and we amplify 720 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 11: people to allow them to create jobs all the way 721 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 11: down the food chain. 722 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 12: And so I just give it up to you brothers 723 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 12: for what you do, Okay. 724 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 6: Really appreciate appreciate it, appreciate it. So let's get into this. 725 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 6: I want to start with crypto. Shall we just start? 726 00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 6: So we were talking upstairs XRP, any XRP enthusiasts in. 727 00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 12: The building, Okay, okay, So they had. 728 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 6: An interesting ruling with the SEC and that is interesting 729 00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,440 Speaker 6: how that's going to affect the landscape of cryptocurrency. I 730 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 6: know you're you're a crypto enthusiast, So what's your thoughts 731 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 6: on the current state of crypto and specifically how the 732 00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,480 Speaker 6: XRP ruling could you know, translate to the whole entire space. 733 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 11: But we're coming out of a crypto winner and uh. 734 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 11: And the XRP ruling is very interesting because, just to 735 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 11: break it down real quick, people who may not know, 736 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:03,600 Speaker 11: the SEC was trying to have XRP, the commodity, that is, 737 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:10,640 Speaker 11: the token the asset considered a security and therefore would 738 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 11: fall under securities law and therefore be illegal for them 739 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,800 Speaker 11: without the proper licenses, et cetera to trade that asset, 740 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 11: but the judge rule that instead of it being considered, 741 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 11: and now the ruling's not final and we're really talking 742 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,880 Speaker 11: about what may happen in the future, But the potential 743 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:33,520 Speaker 11: is that asset the judge set is not necessarily a security, but. 744 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 12: A commodity like an orange. So if you have a. 745 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 11: Grove of orange trees you grow oranges, you don't need 746 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 11: a license from the SEC to sell those oranges. 747 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 12: It's a commodity. 748 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,760 Speaker 11: And so the sense this asset was created, the question 749 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 11: is it a security like a stock or is it 750 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,560 Speaker 11: a commodity like an orange? And if it ends up 751 00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 11: being ruled to be a commodity, then the floodgates literally 752 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 11: will open extremely wide because it will allow a great 753 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,680 Speaker 11: deal of assets to flow into the space because it 754 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 11: won't be now. Other people argue that the more regulation 755 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 11: in the space is better because it's kind of like 756 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 11: the wild wild West, and therefore you need regulation, and 757 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 11: both parties are correct in a way. 758 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,240 Speaker 12: But what's interesting about it to me is. 759 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 11: Folks who are holding XRP thought that it was definitely 760 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 11: going to go the security route, but it's indicating that 761 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 11: it may go the commodity route, which changes people's minds. 762 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 11: So you've seen the price, for instance, of XRP jump 763 00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 11: radically recently, but it's not even traded on Coinbase. Coinbase 764 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 11: halted the trading of XRP because it was under sanctioned 765 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:56,600 Speaker 11: by the SEC. Now, if Coinbase starts trading XRP and 766 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 11: opens it back up, because a lot of people have 767 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,360 Speaker 11: a ton of XRP on but it's locked up because 768 00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 11: you can't even trade it on the on the platform. 769 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:09,359 Speaker 11: If Coinbase opens XRP back up, get ready because it'll 770 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 11: start moving and it'll move fast. 771 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:12,800 Speaker 12: But we'll have to see what happened. 772 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, and everybody talks about the crypto. I'm not sure 773 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 4: what to do with it. But we were looking at 774 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 4: this building behind us, and we said, there's hundreds of 775 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 4: buildings that looked just like this. And if we're talking 776 00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:25,879 Speaker 4: about this is a comeback city, how do we all 777 00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 4: take part in this? Can you talk about how crypto 778 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 4: can play a role inside of that token economy and 779 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 4: how we can own things together? 780 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 11: Yes, but but let me let me talk about the 781 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 11: city first. 782 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,879 Speaker 12: Yes, so I chose Michigan. I'm not from Michigan. Right. 783 00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 12: I came here and I was born in Iowa. 784 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 11: I came here in twenty eleven, twelve thirteen, when there 785 00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:47,839 Speaker 11: used to be a media tax credit here. I did 786 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 11: a couple of films. They weren't that good. I'm not 787 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,680 Speaker 11: gonna tell you which they were. But I fell in 788 00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 11: love with the people. This is the greatest people in 789 00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 11: the world here. It's a commination. 790 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 12: It is. And I said to myself then I didn't 791 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 12: have a child. 792 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 11: Then I said to myself, when I have kids, I'd 793 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 11: rather have them grow up black people here than people 794 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,879 Speaker 11: in Hollywood. And the reason why you will not meet 795 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 11: a black person in Detroit does not have a good 796 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,880 Speaker 11: sense of themselves. It doesn't exist. Now some of them 797 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 11: don't have good sense. But those are two different things. 798 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 11: But when we think about this city and the greatness 799 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 11: of the city and the legacy of this city, it's 800 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:34,360 Speaker 11: about ownership. And I want to be careful about what 801 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 11: I say. But in many ways we may have gotten 802 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 11: somewhat away from that. But tokenization can bring us back 803 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 11: to that. And so to answer your question, if we 804 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 11: tokenize that building behind us, it opens up the access 805 00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 11: for actual ownership in a smaller fractal share way when 806 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,439 Speaker 11: maybe one of us or two of us don't have 807 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 11: the down payment, and we know how they readline, they 808 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 11: know how less than one percent of major bank. 809 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 12: Lending go to our community. 810 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,680 Speaker 11: So even the idea that you're going to get a 811 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,640 Speaker 11: loan for that building may not even happen. But if 812 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 11: we're able to tokenize that building, and I could go 813 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 11: to you and you and you and you and you 814 00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 11: and say how many tokens are that you want? Oh, 815 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 11: you can do ten, you do twenty, you do forty, 816 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 11: you do ten, you do two, you do five, you 817 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,600 Speaker 11: do seven. All of a sudden, we collectively own that structure, 818 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:28,680 Speaker 11: and we don't let other outside forces like what happened 819 00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:32,319 Speaker 11: in Harlem. As an example, developers came in beautiful brownstones, 820 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 11: they bought them, they boarded them up. They did not 821 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 11: create affordable housing. They boarded them up. They choked the community. 822 00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,720 Speaker 11: Community services start closing cleaners, clothes, grocery stores closed, food 823 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 11: deserts are created. Nobody wants to live there, everybody leaves, 824 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,759 Speaker 11: it's vacated. Then on masks they come back and develop it, 825 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:49,760 Speaker 11: but they don't sell. 826 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:50,920 Speaker 12: It back to us. 827 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 11: Right, so we can disrupt that type of activity because 828 00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 11: you look at that building, most of the windows are 829 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,960 Speaker 11: boarded up. Someone's choking out that building because they could 830 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 11: be redeveloping and creating affordable housing, but they're not. They're 831 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,399 Speaker 11: trying to choke it out and then bring other people in. 832 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 11: We can disrupt that through tokenization by getting into and 833 00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 11: access to the asset at a lower individual cost. But 834 00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,120 Speaker 11: the only way that works is if we do it collectively, 835 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 11: which we haven't been taught to do in our community. 836 00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,360 Speaker 11: We've been taught to compete with each other, but not 837 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:21,200 Speaker 11: work collectively. 838 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:23,840 Speaker 5: Yes, for sure. 839 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:30,279 Speaker 6: So let's talk about artificial intelligence, and a lot of 840 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,520 Speaker 6: people are scared of it, say it's a major threat, 841 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 6: especially to our community. It's going to take they said, 842 00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 6: over three hundred and sixty million jobs worldwide over the 843 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,799 Speaker 6: next ten years. And you know, this is the motor 844 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:43,880 Speaker 6: city and people think of Detroit and they think of 845 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,839 Speaker 6: hard labor. But you actually provided a different insight when 846 00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:52,359 Speaker 6: we were upstairs about Detroit It's history of innovation. Can 847 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:54,480 Speaker 6: you just kind of explain what you said to us. 848 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 6: That's very insightful what you said. 849 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:03,360 Speaker 11: So Detroit in this area was was the most innovative 850 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 11: place in the world. It was the Silicon Valley back 851 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:09,400 Speaker 11: in the day. And to me, you know, I was 852 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 11: fortunate enough to buy the Fisher mansion, which is right 853 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:11,840 Speaker 11: up the street. 854 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 12: I mean, that's the Fisher building. 855 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 11: You can see it if we didn't have this screen 856 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 11: right here, you know, building with the green top. The 857 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 11: Fisher family was the richest family in America because of innovation. 858 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,960 Speaker 11: Henry Ford goes to Charlest Fisher and says, hey, man, 859 00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:29,040 Speaker 11: because remember Ford used to not be a car company, 860 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:29,959 Speaker 11: it was a motor company. 861 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 12: It's called the Ford Motor Company. 862 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 11: Henry Ford made a motor, an engine, and he goes 863 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:40,640 Speaker 11: to Fisher that they made carriages for horses, and he says, man, 864 00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,239 Speaker 11: I need a horseless carriage. 865 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,800 Speaker 12: And Fisher's like, you need a horseless. 866 00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,319 Speaker 11: Carriage, Yeah, I'm building a motor so we won't need 867 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,839 Speaker 11: horses to pull the thing. And that's why the term 868 00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:53,760 Speaker 11: horsepower came because Fisher says, well, we build the size 869 00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,200 Speaker 11: of the carriage based on how many horses pull it, 870 00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,719 Speaker 11: So how many horse power do you need it to 871 00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 11: be built? And so ultimately the Fishers built the chassis 872 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:10,360 Speaker 11: for Chrysler, Dodge, GM, Ford, etc. Built amazing wealth built 873 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 11: that amazing building. Why y'all brothers here going to the lobby. 874 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,640 Speaker 11: It's one of most beautiful lobies you ever see. But 875 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,080 Speaker 11: the point is it was a city of innovation, new thinking, 876 00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 11: and to me, it's the mobility city of the world. 877 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 11: And if we use AI and AI mobility to push 878 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 11: harder and deeper into that type of technology, this city 879 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:35,239 Speaker 11: can become the mobility capital of the world. Autonomous vehicles, 880 00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,920 Speaker 11: young independent entrepreneurs that are developing technology now. To me, 881 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 11: the scary part is though, that if we're not actually 882 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 11: writing the code, if we're not part of the code 883 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:49,279 Speaker 11: of AI, then the AI ultimately, as it's generative and 884 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 11: it's improving upon itself, it starts to. 885 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,080 Speaker 12: Write us out of the future of it. 886 00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,160 Speaker 11: So that's why I need any of y'all that are 887 00:39:56,200 --> 00:40:00,879 Speaker 11: young coders, that are young entrepreneurs. You have to start 888 00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,840 Speaker 11: your company now because we're at the nason part of AI. 889 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,359 Speaker 11: And if you don't start your company now and get 890 00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,759 Speaker 11: into the generative cycle, that as you're coding in or 891 00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 11: typing in prompts for AI and you're not in your 892 00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 11: companies not popping up on it, the AI is not 893 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:17,920 Speaker 11: going to be generative. 894 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 12: For your company. 895 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 11: It's just like a new version of a Google search, 896 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 11: and you're not at the top of the search. We 897 00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 11: need our companies and our entrepreneurs to be part of 898 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:30,200 Speaker 11: the generative process. And since it's in it's Nason phase, 899 00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,759 Speaker 11: launch your company now, don't wait, do not wait. We 900 00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 11: need you in it and this city can be I 901 00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 11: believe the AI mobility capital of the world. Autonomous vehicles everywhere, 902 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 11: built by us for us, and we're part of that. 903 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:48,839 Speaker 3: Hill. 904 00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 4: I wonder you know you have an in depth history 905 00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 4: of the city. For the young people out here who 906 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:58,080 Speaker 4: are looking to invest, maybe in real estate, what are 907 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,680 Speaker 4: the areas because I know there's some historic areas not 908 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:03,400 Speaker 4: too far from here. What are the areas that they 909 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 4: should be looking at to say, all right, this is 910 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 4: an opportunity before everybody comes out to invest in it. 911 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 4: We can now invest and make sure that we're at 912 00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:11,319 Speaker 4: the forefront of this. 913 00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:13,239 Speaker 11: So my grandmama used to say, I can show you 914 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:14,479 Speaker 11: better and I can tell you. So I'm just gonna 915 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:14,880 Speaker 11: be honest. 916 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,319 Speaker 12: So I bought a. 917 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 11: Building y'all know you know, you know in eight Mile 918 00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 11: they shoot up that building with the cow's head on top. 919 00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 11: On Mac there's like a little ice cream shop on 920 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:27,120 Speaker 11: Mac with a cow's head. 921 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 12: I bought that building. Don't go mess it. 922 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 3: Up, y'all. 923 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 11: But so I think that whole area around Mac and 924 00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 11: Drexel and that Chrysler plant that's over there, moving towards 925 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 11: gross Point is a great opportunity because remember how many 926 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 11: cars are going down Mac gross Point and back, and 927 00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:48,439 Speaker 11: there's not a lot going on there. Right there's a 928 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 11: package liquor store right there near Mac and Drexel. There's 929 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 11: a couple other things, but not a lot happening. I 930 00:41:55,160 --> 00:42:00,440 Speaker 11: believe that corridor is prime for getting a you know, 931 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 11: any type of it could be residential. I'm a big 932 00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 11: believer in commercial real estate. Although downtown commercial real estate 933 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,240 Speaker 11: is suffering, but that doesn't mean community based commercial. 934 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:12,480 Speaker 12: Real estate can't thrive. 935 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,399 Speaker 11: And if there's anybody there out there that's an ice 936 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,080 Speaker 11: cream entrepreneur, this is real talk. And you have a 937 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 11: little bit money to invest in infrastructure, I'll partner with 938 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,919 Speaker 11: you on that Cow said because it's historically an ice 939 00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 11: cream shop, and I'd like it to be an ice 940 00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 11: cream shop. And the little kids in that neighborhood deserve 941 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 11: ice cream. They ain't got no ice cream. They got 942 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,880 Speaker 11: plexiglass liquor stores and they can buy Fago and Werners 943 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 11: and maybe some funians with snap money. We got to 944 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,879 Speaker 11: do better, y'all, and that it starts with bringing things 945 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 11: like ice cream and fresh produce and things like that 946 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,120 Speaker 11: in the community. So I'm serious. If somebody wants to 947 00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,440 Speaker 11: open up an ice cream shop, I'm mac, particularly if 948 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:57,560 Speaker 11: you know how to do really nice flavors, because I 949 00:42:57,560 --> 00:42:58,359 Speaker 11: don't know how to do that. 950 00:42:58,880 --> 00:42:59,319 Speaker 12: Let's talk. 951 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 8: Let's talk, got one right here, all right. 952 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:08,440 Speaker 6: So my last question is wish your vision. You say 953 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,880 Speaker 6: you fell in love with the city of Detroit in 954 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,840 Speaker 6: the state of Michigan. Where do you see this city 955 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,200 Speaker 6: in the state going over the next decade. 956 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,120 Speaker 11: I just want people and more people to choose Michigan 957 00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,680 Speaker 11: like I did. I mean, we're forty ninth out of 958 00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 11: fifty in growth and I don't I don't understand. I 959 00:43:25,200 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 11: don't understand why so much talent leaves you graduate. Most 960 00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:33,080 Speaker 11: of the top graduates from Grand Valley State, from Michigan State, 961 00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:38,239 Speaker 11: from University of Michigan keep on going Western Michigan, Oakland University. 962 00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 12: They leave, They go to Atlanta. 963 00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,160 Speaker 11: They go to Chicago, they go to Austin, Texas, they. 964 00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:44,840 Speaker 12: Go to la. 965 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 11: We got to keep our talent here. We can't be 966 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,120 Speaker 11: like Lebron taking the talent to South Beach. These guys 967 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 11: are so fancy they hanging out with Lebron. Now I 968 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,399 Speaker 11: see my man somewhere. He got the Lebron's on right there. 969 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:02,360 Speaker 11: I see you right there talking to somebody. Though I 970 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 11: just shouted out to your Lebrons. 971 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,799 Speaker 12: They're nice. They're nice. I see you and. 972 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:10,360 Speaker 11: So so we have to create more people choosing Michigan 973 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:13,360 Speaker 11: and bringing their talents here. And let's be clear, this 974 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:16,600 Speaker 11: state is poised more than any other state in the 975 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:22,080 Speaker 11: country for climate change. Twenty one percent of the fresh 976 00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,560 Speaker 11: surface water supply in the world touches Michigan shores twenty 977 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,880 Speaker 11: one percent. There's more water here, there's more clean water, 978 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:35,160 Speaker 11: there's more opportunity here, there's more intelligence here, there's more 979 00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:39,000 Speaker 11: hustle here than any state in the country. Yet we 980 00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:42,960 Speaker 11: are getting smaller and it doesn't make sense. We all 981 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 11: have to be ambassadors for this place because I want 982 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 11: people to come here. I don't want us to keep 983 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,799 Speaker 11: losing the congressional district. I don't want us to keep 984 00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:52,960 Speaker 11: fighting over funding for different things that we deserve. And 985 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 11: so I believe that you're gonna see Michigan really start 986 00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,960 Speaker 11: to grow like you're gonna see Detroit start to grow 987 00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,480 Speaker 11: like Austin, Texas has, because we're gonna be creating businesses 988 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 11: that attract talent. And I think it's gonna happen. But 989 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 11: it only happens, like I said, if we collaborate. Doctor 990 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,439 Speaker 11: King said it well way back then. We are all 991 00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,520 Speaker 11: tied together in a single garment of mutual destiny. My 992 00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,759 Speaker 11: destiny is in a strictly linked with yours. And that's 993 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,719 Speaker 11: why since you all are doing well, you give me 994 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,319 Speaker 11: permission to do well.
