Yeah, I know, I remember we had 59 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: a great conversation and and the thing about that said, Okay, 60 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: that one break wasn't enough. We're gonna do two breaks 61 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: this time because we really want to talk about you know, 62 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: because we were having such a good time. Next thing, 63 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: you know, I gotta go, gotta go, because the whole 64 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: thing about it is that when money made conversations, I 65 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: bring talent like you on the show. Because the fact 66 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: that the whole concept of multiple streams of income, that's 67 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 1: a philosophy. It seems that you understand. Can you tell 68 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: the audience why that that's part of your mantra? Well, 69 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: I kind of I kind of see, um, the multiple 70 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 1: streating income kind of think of it is in seasons 71 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: as there's you know, in in in crops, you know, 72 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: there's certain things that grow in different seasons. So you know, um, 73 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: in the winter, there's certain things that that won't grow 74 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: that bring things that are going summer. So that's how 75 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: it is when when you're multiple streas and income, you 76 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: can survive different seasons when other things are not going 77 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: are not growing right, still maintained, and you're not. My 78 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: thing is you're not a slave to one uh one income, 79 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: meaning that one income doesn't exist anymore. Now you're you're 80 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: you know, you're out of luck now you're you know, 81 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: you're you're you're you're not able to pay your bills. Um, 82 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: So you're never a slave to one thing being that 83 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 1: you can make. You can make moral decisions rather than 84 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: just financial sur bibal decisions. Especially in entertainment, you can 85 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: find yourself doing things or doing stuff that you don't 86 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: want to do morally just to pay the bills. And 87 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: that's something that I wanted to position myself that I 88 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: never never had to do that never. That's really important 89 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 1: because of the fact that even when I when I 90 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 1: was talking to you about you was on Blackish, you 91 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: know you when you're then you. I saw you on 92 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,559 Speaker 1: Stars and then you as a writer on Stars before 93 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: you started appearing in front of the camera. So when 94 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: you start making these transitions, just I got just going 95 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: to the people walk into your mindset. When when when 96 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: you see an opportunity that's presented to you, a lot 97 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: of people fear it. You know a lot of people, 98 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: Oh that's changed and that's too much work. You seem 99 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: to embrace it. Um, well, this is everything that I'm 100 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: doing now I said I was gonna do when I 101 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: was seventeen years old, right, this is this has been 102 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: a plan This has been something that I've been striving 103 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: for for for years. UM, so when I didn't know 104 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: exactly how I would all play out. But all of 105 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 1: these ideas and concepts and positions that I've taken on 106 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: have been something that I've I've wanted to do. And 107 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 1: sometimes sometimes things are stemmed from other ideas. As acting 108 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,840 Speaker 1: was the you know the root of everything, right, and 109 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 1: you know all of these other things that have been 110 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,280 Speaker 1: fruits of that, read writing, the music, you know, the 111 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: kids foundation, the T shirt company that in the in 112 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: the streaming app all of these have been like fruits 113 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: of that. So um, when whenever these opportunities cabinets, you 114 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: know what are the opportunity? Good luck is when the 115 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: opportunity meets preparation and including a great attitude. I think 116 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: Denzel said that, you know, if you have those three things, 117 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 1: that's what luck creates. In Um. When the opportunity came 118 00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: for me to transit from an actor to a writer, 119 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: I was already prepared when I was nineteen. For seventeen nineteen, 120 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: I was groomed and mentored by Michael Caine, who wrote 121 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: all the right moves from Time Crews and UH several 122 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,120 Speaker 1: other movies in like the eighties and seventies, of the 123 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: seventies and eighties.

Um, well, I went to do 148 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: the traditional audition process, um, and what was very special 149 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: was on the screen test. And so some people that 150 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 1: may not know what the screen test is. That's when 151 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: you you audition with the actual star showing it. You 152 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: get to test the chemistry and see if you guys 153 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 1: are actually even you know, um compatible, and it comes 154 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,839 Speaker 1: to you know, sharing the screen and the chemistry. Yeah, exactly. 155 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: So as soon as I walked through the door, before 156 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: I can even get through it, Tracy screams our cousin Bob, 157 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: and we start going. I started going, and we start 158 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: going and we literally improve what's your team and it's straight. 159 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: We did not touch one scene from the audition that 160 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: was prepared, and our chemistry was so instant. I think 161 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: that was what really won over the producers and Jordan's 162 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: peel to book me as a role and it's as 163 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 1: sports and now uh, the character cousin Bobby, he's you know, 164 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: kind of like an idiots to find on the show. 165 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: He's um. Um, he's not the sharpest tool in the shape, 166 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: but it's it's so smart. It's smart. You know, sometimes 167 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: a little, but he's smart. Um. And he's he's basically 168 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,319 Speaker 1: the bridge between Tracy's past to his future. Um.
