55
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: Kimry Lewis, Hey, I'm so happy to be here than

56
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: You've got some things going on, girl, But okay, let's

57
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: talk about this, you know, because and I want you

58
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: to be like me, and the people say that, you

59
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: know that. I always tell people my goal is starting

60
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: this show, Kimery, and I want you to be a

61
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 1: friend of mine. And because I've always been a mentor

62
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: all my life and didn't really know it. And then

63
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: as I got older, I realized when I look back

64
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: and when people come on my show, they tell me

65
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: what I've done for their career and with them along

66
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: the way. And I just did it unconsciously because that's

67
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: my personality. When I look at a young talent like you,

68
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: and I see that you you you, You've developing multiple

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: strings of income, and I want to know how did

70
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: that come about? In the whole process of saying, Okay,

71
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: I can do stand up, I want to act, I

72
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: want to write. How did that? How did that process developed?

73
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: Because a lot of people need to understand your technique

74
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: in doing that and developing that, yeah, you know you can't. Nowadays,

75
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: there's just no no excuse for not, uh, like you say,

76
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: having multiple streams of income and and getting the training

77
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: in all the different crafts that surround your passion. So

78
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: for years I said, okay, all I want to do

79
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: is be an actor, right, that's all I want to do.

80
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: But you know, you would go out on these auditions,

81
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: which were few and far between to begin with, and

82
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: then when you get to the audition, you say, okay,

83
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 1: like the script is kind of kind of funny, but

84
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: like I can insert my own jokes here, and you

85
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: know it's let me make a little bit a little

86
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: bit more funny, you know, funny to me. And so

87
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, hey, I can, I can.

88
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: I can write a little bit. You know, I do

89
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: stand up, So why not make myself you know, a

90
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,679
Speaker 1: machine that can go not just when people are calling

91
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: you in for for auditions, but you know, a business

92
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: that's running even when they're not. You know, create your

93
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: own work. I'm writing my own scripts, you know, doing

94
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: stand up whenever, whenever I feel like it. Right, Um,

95
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: so it's you just get tired of waiting. And that's

96
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: very true, that's very truly for folks to call on

97
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: you and I don't push you to do something. And

98
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: it did me. I remember when I right, you know,

99
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,679
Speaker 1: bills will make you like do some ugliness. Ugliness girl,

100
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: you go on stage and for the four people. I

101
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: did that one time and Corpus Christie. I went on

102
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: stage for the two people. That was the first show.

103
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: It gets what they stayed for the second show. I

104
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: went up to the owner. I went up to you

105
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 1: kidding me? Yeah, when they paid a gift, Sean hey Man,

106
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: I only got one act, only got one act. You

107
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: are the same show, so I know what you're saying,

108
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: and I wanted to I wanted to let everybody know

109
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: what she's saying. Here is that like enough? IBM had

110
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 1: a math degree. Mathematic is my degree, and I was

111
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: was successful at BM and when I left to do

112
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: stand up comedy comedy, I felt that was I didn't

113
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: have to ask anybody to go on stage. I figured

114
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: I can go out there and showcase my talents and

115
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: get paid for. Whereas an actor and actress, you really

116
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,599
Speaker 1: are are a prisoner to the moment of if somebody

117
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: calls on you. Whereas a stand up you know, you

118
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: go out to a clip, you underscript, you know, you

119

00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: talk like it's an inside conversation that I try to

202
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: open it up so everybody can understand and relate what

203
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: we're talking about. Because I've had some bad nights on

204
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: stage as a stand up. I've had some nights on

205
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 1: stage where I go, why am I even trying to

206
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: make people laugh. I've been in cities I'm going, is

207
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,960

Speaker 1: in the night. By the time you get to the

213
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,800

Speaker 1: where I met you too. It was at the International

307
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: Trailblazers Award, and that event is kind of similar to

308
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 1: what I was doing several years with the Neighborhood Awards.

309
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: It's it's honoring the unknown and shining light on individuals

310
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: who should who are special in the community, and it's

311
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 1: also a fundraiser. So I started with you. Christie told

312
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:22,439
Speaker 1: us about it. Jefvai came about, um two thousand and

313
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: eight when we first opened the salon. I opened the

314
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 1: salon and we just kept people just kept coming to

315
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: us and like needed help and had situations and it

316
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: just started growing. I was like, for real, So I

317
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: started feeding the homeless and I started doing We had

318
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: a young lady who wanted to go to the inauguration,

319
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: so we started trying to get funds together. And just

320
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 1: how it all started, It's just the salon was the birth.

321
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: And then Jebai came about. Okay, so so okay, so

322
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: none you know, people come and ask me for stuff.

323
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: I kind of like looked the other way. So obviously

324
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: you guys didn't have blinders on. No, I would give

325
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 1: you the shirt off my back. My grandmother always told

326
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: me if you can give somebody to something where to eat,

327
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: get something to eat, and give him somewhere to stay.

328
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: And I've been doing it. Tell me your story now,

329
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 1: the same story. It's basically the same, except one thing.

330
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: I had the blinders on it, you know. And and

331
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: and what happened is that we had people that would

332
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: come to the salon and always want to help. And

333
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: I said, well, you know, we can't help everybody, but

334
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: we started taking money out of the teal and started

335
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: helping people. And our counting told us, what, you know,

336
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,440
Speaker 1: you just can't take money out of the tail because

337
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: you know, the government not gonna get your right off

338
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: of that just taking money out of the teal. So

339
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 1: Chris came up with the idea of starting a foundation,

340
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: and I said, okay, let's start a foundation. I said,

341
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: what's gonna be the name, And she said, well, she

342
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 1: got to think about it, and she got to pray

343
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,440
Speaker 1: about it. And my son's middle name is Jibias and

344
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: it came from the prayer of Jabaas and that's what

345
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: she got your back from, which stands for just about

346
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: blessing you. And we just started going out in the

347
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: community blessing people, trying to get back to the community

348
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: that was supporting us. Okay, just talk about the salon. Okay,

349
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: let's talk about that's my shows about entrepreneurship, money making

350
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 1: conversations based on advice about small businesses. How you started.

351
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: So let's talk about how the salon got started before

352
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: we start talking about the giving back, because that's because

353
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: we have two people. That means that decisions aren't always equal.

354
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: Somebody has a way they want that wall to look,

355
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: or that chair just said, or how are we gonna

356
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: do reservations. Let's talk about putting that business format together. Well,

357
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: my ultimate goal was to have a salon where you

358
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: can come and get your hair done. Everybody can't afford

359
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: to pay sixty five dollars fifty five dollars get their

360
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: hair shampoo and said, so I want to have a

361
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: so long, but you can come and get your hair

362
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: shampooed and condition for ten dollars. We didn't let me

363
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: let me enderun what you're listening. She about to shock

364
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: the industry because they did this in North Carolina. But

365
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: when she brought it to Georgia, we had a bunch

366
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: of haters and I'm gon let her tell you why. Okay,

367
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: so we went from sixty five dollars because you saying

368
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: ten dollars dollars every day. No pointman needed seven days

369
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: a week. All you had to do was just walking

370
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,639
Speaker 1: in and get your hair done. So we was like

371
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: there was like ten dollars. I was like, everybody can't

372
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: afford to get their hair dow. I'm not trying to

373
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: take your clients, but you have people who cannot afford

374
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 1: to pay to get their dawn period. I'm trying to

375
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: help them. So it wasn't even a business decision. It

376
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: was more of a community decision. Okay, but you changed

377
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: the game though. I changed the game, Lord knows because

378
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 1: I can charge six five dollars because I love what

379
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 1: I do, but everybody cannot. It wasn't a step on.

380
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: Nobody toes as I do this because you have senior

381
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,919
Speaker 1: cities on fixed income ten dollars, you have mothers who

382
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: have four or five kids. You can't pay six ft

383
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 1: allars favorite job. It's not it's not possible. So you've

384
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: got to have somewhere they can come and get at

385
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: least get something done. They feel good about themselves. Okay, cool, okay, seizure, Okay,

386
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: sixty five to ten that's fifty five dollars. Now, that's

387
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: fifty five dollars. Okay, where are you at this conversation? Okay,

388
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: in the beginning, it took me a while to become

389
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:02,640
Speaker 1: a believer. And the reason because I looked at the economics.

390
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: And then once I broke the economics down, and and

391
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: all my hair stylus and bobbers out there, and they're

392
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: really gonna hate this part. But when you go by

393
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: a bottle of shampoo, you can buy bottle shampoo for

394
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: twenty five dollars. Out of that bottle of shampoo, you

395
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: can shampoo a hundred and ten people. That's where I started. Yeah,

396
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: I started breaking down the numbers. So a hundred and

397
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: ten people for bottle of shampoo. If we're doing shampoo

398
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: and sets, which is what she called the roller set

399
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,959
Speaker 1: and charging ten dollars, and it's only costing US twenty

400
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: five dollars plus some water and the stylars time, it

401
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 1: made sense. So we got about two dollars invested. Because

402
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: it takes about seven to ten minutes if you're a

403
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 1: really good roller setter, to roll the head, so we

404
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: got about two dollars invested in that. Ten dollars so

405
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: it made sense to me. So here's you know, we

406
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: know when people hear things that are unusual, you know,

407
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: they go really okay, Now you had to deal with

408
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: that part of the what kind of what kind of

409
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: hair washed am I gonna get? If the water gonna

410
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: be cold? Are you using some Generica detergent? We use

411
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: our professional products requests since day one designed it central.

412
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: It didn't matter because that's what we did. And then

413
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: people call like we had died the shampoo my own

414
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: hair to come shampooing the condition already. We're like, no,

415
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 1: we're gonna shop in condition and roll you up, and

416
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: it's like you shoot, like yes, we had to bring

417
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: on rollers like they were sitting their grandmother in first

418
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 1: to test us to see and then they would come in.

419
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: I'm like for real. But that first week we opened,

420
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: we did about forty people. That second week after that

421
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: we did six seven hundred women a week every week, yes, sir,

422
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: every day, Okay, okay, okay, see I love that because

423
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a big ice cream guy and Brewisters

424
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: like over there, if you if you take a banana

425
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: the Brewsters on Thursday, you gotta have park. But now

426
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: to split so that's what they were thinking. You know,

427
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: they gotta come in with hair wet? How are wey

428
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: gotta be w you dive in and get it done.

429
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna do it for ten dollars. So so let's

430
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: talk about this. How big is first of all the

431
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: name of your salon? Then when we first started with

432
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: sweets oneing salon, there is the color of our salon? Okay, cool,

433
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 1: Let's go back to that. How big was it? And

434
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: how many? How many chairs did you have in there?

435
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: With five thousand s good feet? And we here some

436
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: stylus now okay, and the stylus rent out the boots?

437
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: Is that how it works there? How does that work? Commission?

438
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 1: It was commissioned? Okay? So so because a lot of salons,

439
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: just trying to break down how salon's work. Like my

440
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: brother he has like, uh, three barbershops and two salons

441
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: in d C. And so he rents out that chair

442
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: and so that's how he generates his revenue. So your

443
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: your format, how was it there? Commission you come in

444
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: and whatever service you render, that's how you get paid upon.

445
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: You have a certain percentage of which you make, Okay. Cool.

446
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: So when you went to this ten dollars, not six

447
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: or five dollars, not season. Okay, now everybody try to

448
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: get to that comm Okay, now they're working super hard

449
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,199
Speaker 1: because they gotta work six times to get back up

450
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: to sixty five. No, they don't, because let me tell

451
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: you why. Ever saw she came up with a brilliant

452
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: plane commission plan was set up like this. When you

453
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: did over a thousand dollars worth for a revenue, right,

454
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: you got six of the money. So we gave you

455
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: more money for doing more revenue. But here's the thing

456
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: you gotta remember. She said, we was doing seven hundred

457
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: clients a week. When you're paying boot rent at sixty

458
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: five dollars, you don't have seven hundred people coming through

459
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: your door. Starts making over thousand dollars a week every week. Okay.

460
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: So so when did they start biting off your your idea?

461
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 1: Oh maybe a year later? Head and leave, try to

462
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: go start the concept somewhere else and come back, then

463
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,120
Speaker 1: leave again. But I always work from open doors because

464
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm not that person. Because because people think it's easy,

465
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: I think it's easy. I always tell people, you know,

466
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: they can work in a bakery, they can work real event.

467
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: They think that but you know the thing I want

468
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: you to expound on that Caeesar about the relationships um

469
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: a belief or certain you like I said, a lot

470
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: of prayer involved in this, and a lot of you

471
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: understand that prayer is really to me focused. It's also

472
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: under a plan. You know, a lot of things are

473
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 1: determined when you pray, because I always tell people when

474
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: they talk about that situation that, so some people understand

475
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: that you always need to slow down to understand where

476
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 1: you're going, and prayer will sometimes do that for you

477
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: if you're praying the right way. You know, so crazy

478
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 1: about it, and you said prayer. We play goss music

479
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: all day and we pray in the morning before we open.

480
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: Because you have to have God in your life and

481
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: you have to have faith, and you don't believe it,

482
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: it's not gonna happen. And it makes a real different

483
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: that they change the atmosphere because you don't know what

484
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: people got going on. They come in with issues, so

485
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: you wanted to feel comfortable and it's a place of relief.

486
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: Never saw I'm gonna take credit for that one because

487
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: it was a struggle in the beginning. Um, I wanted

488
00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: to change the atmosphere of the salon, because you know,

489
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: normal when you have a normous line. They're playing all

490
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: types of music on TV, got the soap operas on TV.

491
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: And I told Chris, I said, you know, we need

492
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 1: to play gospel music to get into the person's spirit

493
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: and and and that way. They fought with me for

494
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: a while, but after a while they understood and once

495
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 1: we started playing the gospel, we got better clients and

496
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: it was a better atmosphere for us. What was the

497
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: a what's the age group that comes into Europe? Because

498
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: when you say gospel, people think older. You know, it's

499
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: what's the what's what's the the demo? That's that's the pain,

500
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: that's the pipe, the pain rate right there. They're bringing

501
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: their kids, they're bringing their friends. And so so with

502
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,160
Speaker 1: that being said, you know, you get your hair done,

503
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: you get your spirit done, and you walk out there

504
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: with money in your pocket like that. But the team,

563
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 1: usually try to read a book like the day before

564
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,080

565

Speaker 1: said wake up, I have two options to land a

568
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:38,560

571
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 1: And uh so that's the storyline is fresh in my memory.

572
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: So let's talk about those humble beginnings in Louisiana. Yes, so,

573
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: I am originally from St. Martinville, Louisiana, UM, a very

574
00:30:55,600 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: small historical town UM in Louisiana, which is about twenty

575
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:06,520
Speaker 1: five minutes outside of Lataette, Louisiana. And I was born

576
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: out of wed locks to two parents that did not

577
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: receive a high school diploma. UM. I grew up in

578
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: a single parent home and over the course of the years,

579
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: my mom began to date and one of her boyfriends,

580
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: when I was about eight or nine years old, he

581
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: texted me inappropriately and that kind of shaped my early

582
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: years into UM, leading me to become UM looking for

583
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,719
Speaker 1: love and all the wrong places and even just not

584
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: having UM my own father and the home led me

585
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: to looking for love and all the wrong places and UM.

586
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: I began to date older guys, talk to older guys,

587
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 1: and at the age of fourteen, I became pregnant with

588
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: my first child. Okay, and I was only a freshman

589
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 1: in high school, gave birth to my first child at

590
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: the age of fifteen. Okay, you usually at that point

591
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: it goes wrong, Everything goes wrong. You know for some

592
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 1: of your young He already said you your your mom

593
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 1: and your single parent mom, your your What was your

594
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: father in your life at the time? He was in

595
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: my life? Um, he just did not live with us,

596
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: but he was in my life. Okay when that happened.

597
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: What was his conversation with you? What was your parents

598
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 1: in general conversation to you when you announced to them

599
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: that you were pregnant. You were just fifteen years old?

600
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 1: Very disappointed, very disappointed. Um, basically, you know, basically, you

601
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: have ruined your chances to do anything in life. You

602
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: have ruined your chances to become successful. That's what I

603
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:56,280
Speaker 1: was told by everyone around me that, Um, you definitely

604
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: are not going to finish high school. You can forget

605
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: about college. You're never going to become anything. You're just

606
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: gonna stay in this small town and not exhale. Is

607
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: what I was told, um, by other family members, people

608
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: in the same town that I live in. That's how

609
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: that conversation. That's a blast of motivation right there, right

610
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: and you're telling you, okay, you know, uh, close up tent,

611
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: You're done. You're done. You don't wear fair, Okay, have

612
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: a couple more whatever, You're not gonna make it. Get

613
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: your g e d Okay, stop going to high school.

614
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: You gotta stay home and uh take care of this kid.

615
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: Get your job at some small department store and live

616
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: the check to check. That was that was the That

617
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: was the speech. That was the motivating speeches you heard.

618
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 1: That's what I heard. But what I got from it

619
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: I use that as a few to my fire to

620
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: become successful. I used that to say, hey, this is

621
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: what you think it's going to happen, but no, this

622
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: is not the final destination for my life. I'm going

623
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: to turn it around. And with that, I was just

624
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: able to graduate from high school with honors on time.

625
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: I walked with the class. I had a three year

626
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: old by the time I graduated from high school, but

627
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: I graduated went on to college. That a little bit. Okay,

628
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: how did you balance that? Okay, you said, I'm a

629
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: graduated with honors because I don't like for people who

630
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,960
Speaker 1: just fly past their story. Because like you know, I

631
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 1: gave fifty and had a kid. I graduated with honors

632
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: and with the college. Again, I had a three year

633
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: old on my hip when I went across stage. Okay,

634
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: how did you do that? How did you you had

635
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: this wave of negativity? You no one teaches you how

636
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: to be a parent, nobody teaches you how to balance life.

637
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: And you're young. Okay, And I'm assuming that the child's

638
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: father was Was he in your life? Was in the

639
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:57,399
Speaker 1: child's life? Yes? Cool? So with that being said, how

640
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: did you accomplish it? How did you grow yourself? Oh?

641
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,520
Speaker 1: My god? Yeah, it definitely was not easy by any means. Yet,

642
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: like you said, you hear the success, but the in

643
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 1: between story is what really matters. It was not easy. Um,

644
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: after having my daughter, I fell into a depression because

645
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: with her father, he was also abusive. And this is

646
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 1: also domestic violence Awareness month, so I do want to

647
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,280
Speaker 1: touch on that as well. He was abusive verbally and physically,

648
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: so that kind of put me in a depression. So

649
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: there are plenty times where I even contemplated suicide. So

650
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 1: it took me to really dig into my relationship with God.

651
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: That's what kept me going. I knew that if I prayed,

652
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: God would get me through the situation. So while I'm

653
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: still going to high school, balancing being a mother, dealing

654
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: with this abusive relationship, the only thing I could turn

655
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 1: to was God. So at the same time, I'm smiling,

656
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm going to school, I'm making your grades, and then

657
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: when I'm alone, I'm you know, battling these demons. So

658
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,839
Speaker 1: I had no choice but to, you know, dig in

659
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 1: and pull. My relationship for God is the only thing

660
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: to get me through these times. OKAYO, you got through

661
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: the times. You got a degree in sociology, which I

662
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: am a fan of because my minor is sociology and

663
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,479
Speaker 1: my degree is in mathematics and sociology. You changed my life.

664
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: In your book, you can be a success to you

665
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: talk about how sociology changed your whole perspective on life.

666
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that a little bit from your perspective. Yes, absolutely,

667
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:41,719
Speaker 1: it caused me to examine some things about myself, UM,

668
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: my interactions with others, How and why I interact in

669
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: a certain way with others? How and why others interact

670
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: in a certain way with myself? And UM. I had

671
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 1: a work study while in college with Big Brothers six

672
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: Sisters of the Kadiana, which mentors we get volunteers to

673
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: mentor or at risk youth And that was the first

674
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: job I got out of college with that degree. UM,

675
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: I was able to to just connect with other UM

676
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 1: kids that were at youth, at risk youth and you know,

677
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: help them find their ways through mentoring with other mentors.

678
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: And I think sociology, psychology, just anything in social services

679
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: is very needed. You may not make the most money,

680
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: but it's the difference that you make in the lives

681
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,440
Speaker 1: of others that's most important. Before we go to we

682
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 1: got a minute leftlness break, tell us all, why did

683
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: you write the book? Or you can be a success too,

684
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 1: absolutely UM. As I mentioned earlier, you know, I was

685
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: told that, hey, these things happened to you, you cannot

686
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: go on to achieve anything great. You cannot go on

687
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,160
Speaker 1: to be successful. So I wrote this book as an

688
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: inspiration to others and especially other young women that may

689
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: be going through some and as there's a young mother, UM,

690
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: somebody that may be addicted to drug, somebody that may

691
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: be depressed. This is not your final destination. You can

692
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 1: still go on to overcome these things and become successful. Yes,

693
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: you can become a success to regardless or despite of

694
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: your current situation. That's amazing. Um, I met this young

695

00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 1: Talk to us about that. Yes, I end the book

715
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 1: with that chapter, and it's basically just saying, Okay, now

716
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,680
Speaker 1: that you have learned how to achieve goals, how to

717
00:39:38,719 --> 00:39:42,280

718
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: out your purpose and all that good stuff, but what

719
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: are you going to do with it? Okay? You have

720
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: to get out there and network. You have to get

721
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: out there and meet people. There are plenty times when

722
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 1: you're gonna be tired, you're not going to be motivated,

723
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,879
Speaker 1: but you have to show up. There were times when

724
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: I didn't want to go to certain events. I'm like, oh,

725
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:05,239
Speaker 1: I'm tired, I don't feel like going, and I would

726
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: always be glad that I did because I would end

727
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 1: up meeting great people, making new contacts. And the show

728
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: and out part is just walking into the room owning it,

729
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: being that that person that's unforgettable, you know, having the

730
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:24,479
Speaker 1: right attire, the business attire, the small the voice, just

731
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: just being rememberable. Well, I'll be remiss if I don't

732
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: talk about your magazine that you found it and you

733
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: started Unrivaled magazine. One. Tell us about that magazine? Why

734
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,560
Speaker 1: was it important because it's five years old? Correct? Yes,

735
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: Why was it important to launch the magazine and what

736
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: is the future of that magazine? Yes? So it was

737
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 1: important because I wanted to motivate others by sharing entertaining,

738
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: uplifting news. There's a lot of media outlets that share gossip,

739
00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 1: the latest, this mess and everything, and that's fine, but

740
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 1: that's not something that I wanted to do. I wanted

741
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,760
Speaker 1: to be the one to share. Okay, this person started

742
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 1: a business, or this person is now a Grammy Award

745
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: do you have for them that are looking to be

746
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: in your shoes? And the future of the magazine, I

747
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 1: want to continue to grow it on a larger platform

748
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: so that I can reach more people and just share

749
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,200
Speaker 1: these amazing stories. It's in a short note because I'm

750
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: wrapping up the wrap up the interview. Staying true to

751
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: your purpose, I thought that was important in a short capsule.

752
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 1: Tell us exactly what that is. Stay true to your purpose. Yes, absolutely,

753
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: Just know what it is that you are supposed to

754
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: be doing. Identify your purpose and stay true to it.

755
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: Means you live and breathe everything around it. You you

756
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: are aware of everything you are doing, everything you take

757
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: part in, it aligns with your purpose. Do not listen

758
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: to what anyone else thanks you're supposed to be doing

759
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: or says that you're supposed to be doing. It's all

760
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: about you and your purpose. You have to walk in

761
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: that you know would not have anyone interfere with that.

762
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: Robin Charles Living, I want thank you for taking the

Speaker 1: Tell us about your We're gonna talk about a lot

802
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,600
Speaker 1: of things, but I want to start off talking about

803
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 1: your your place in Indianapolis, the premier tea uh bar

804
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: and cafe in Indianapolis. Talk to me about that, and

805
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: how did you get involved with it? Well, uh, it's

806
00:45:46,200 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 1: called tease me t a apostrophe, asked me cafe. And honestly,

807
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: I got to Indiana. I got drafted from the to

808
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: the Indiana Fever and got to Indiana for a few years.

809
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: You know, I always would drink tea like that what

810
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,480
Speaker 1: grew up My family would grew up to drinking tea

811
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: and we had like little tea parties and all of that.

812
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: And so when I got here, really a couple of

813
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: years in, somebody was like oh, have you been in

814
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:12,240
Speaker 1: this amazing place? You called tease me and you should

815
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: go and check it out. And so literally it became

816
00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:17,640
Speaker 1: my favorite place to go. And I think the biggest

817
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: reason was because nobody in there really paid attention to basketball,

818
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: and it was just a place where I could go

819
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: in and chill. The vibe beyond Beyonce. Everything was super fly.

820
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,880
Speaker 1: And then played in the w n B in for

821
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 1: sixteen seasons. So you see you went there like the

822
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,720
Speaker 1: second season that you like the I think I started

823
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: going to the shop probably in two thousands and four,

824
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: so my last year was Yeah. So so when did

825
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 1: you take over ownership of it? I took over in seventeen,

826
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:50,239
Speaker 1: the year after I retired. Okay, cool. So so this

827
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: is a new enterprise for you. It's a brand that

828
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 1: you've lived and been a fan of and so, which

829
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: is what's really cool, Which means that you know what

830
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 1: you're walking into because a lot of athletes they are

831
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 1: recommended this is good, this will make you a lot

832
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: of money. But you knew this brand. You're you're roughly

833
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: fourteen years in on this brand and bought it. Yeah,

834
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: and you know, honestly, the interesting thing about it is

835
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 1: he was only open from eleven am to two thirty pm.

836
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: Tuesdays through Saturday, he was open from eleven eleven am

837
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: to two thirty and so when I took over, one

838
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,760
Speaker 1: of the first things was, we need to expand the hours,

839
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: like how do you make money from eleven am to

840
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 1: two thirty? And then for probably the first couple of months,

841
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: we literally would have nobody coming in the morning. Everybody

842
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,799
Speaker 1: would come from eleven am to two thirty because they

843
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: it was like a mad like rush. But now, I mean,

844
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: obviously I've had it for a little over what twenty months,

845
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 1: exactly twenty months, I've had it, and it's awesome. I

846
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 1: love it. I love it. Now, what's all You're going there?

847
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: What what is the experience? What makes it premier? You know?

848
00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 1: You know, like I go to places, say we got

849
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: the greatest hamburger of all time here, the best hot

850
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: dog in this city, the best barbecue on the rack. Okay,

851
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: you got the premier tea bar in cafe in Indianapolis?

852
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,800

Speaker 1: for like three and a half hours a day till

854
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,759

954
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,240
Speaker 1: something what they call players out there, just like in hockey,

955
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:26,160

968
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 1: was definitely a sad day when we let them go.

969
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: But the great thing is that we have the memories,

970
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: we know the history. You're right, the greatest team players

971
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:18,680

980
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:49,200
