10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: design aspect and right now in the middle of gut

11
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: renovating a brownstone in Brooklyn, and so I know how

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: difficult it is when you know you're trying to do

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: that work for yourself. But what's great is when you're

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 1: helping other people who need it.

15
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 2: I agree. That's why I was.

16
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 3: I was really loving the project that saw on social

17
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 3: media you're doing in Detroit.

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 4: Yeah.

19
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: I thought that was huge.

20
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 3: Because not only are you trying to address the affordable

21
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: housing issue, you're trying to do something for women, but

22
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: you're showing other women. Guess what, we could do this together.

23
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 3: We can be strong on our own, but we can

24
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 3: be stronger together. So kudos to you for everything you're

25
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: doing and using your platform.

26
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 5: Well, thank you.

27
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: It is important to me because, like I told you,

28
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 1: you know, right before this interview started, I do want

29
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: to make sure that with gentrification and people getting pushed

30
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,839
Speaker 1: out of Midtown, that we're bringing something that's beautiful because

31
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: sometimes even with affordable housing, we want to make sure

32
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: it's still beautiful. And so you know, we don't want

33
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: it to be like somebody's just trying to get a

34
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: quick check.

35
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 5: We really do care.

36
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: So what you're saying is you want us to come

37
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 3: in and design it.

38
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: Listen, Look that sounds like I'm like that, but you know,

39
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: also in Egypt, I've always felt like to me, I

40
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: love how you flip from like being in radio to

41
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: doing what you do.

42
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 5: It feels like, first off, I've always.

43
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: Admired you from when you are a radio personality, you know,

44
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: that's when I was first introduced to you. But seeing

45
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: how you've evolved in your career, and it seems like

46
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: you love what you do right now, both of you

47
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: just being able to be together. He's working as a

48
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: contractor and a builder, you're a realtor. Both of you,

49
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: you know, doing the work that you do in Atlanta.

50
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: It's very admirable.

51
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 2: But it started in New York. Yeah, you know, as

52
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: he did.

53
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 3: It started when I was a radio personality in New

54
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 3: York City making a crazy low amount of money. Therefore

55
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: I had to work like two and three jobs. One

56
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 3: was as a real estate agent, then became a broker,

57
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 3: but then being an investor. And that's kind of what

58
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: saved me. Sometimes we have to work a job while

59
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 3: we build our career. For me, radio was actually the job,

60
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 3: and I know toed some people that's the dream job,

61
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: but it was the safety net. It was, you know,

62
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: my benefits while I actually built my career in this

63
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 3: real estate empire we have together. But he was working

64
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 3: all the houses I was flipping, and we fell in

65
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: love over black mole.

66
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 5: You like, first of all, right, he's bringing something to.

67
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: The table a lot.

68
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 5: Black mould is so disgusting to some.

69
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 1: Kudos to you for that now, but honestly, because people

70
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: I will think, you know, and for you, Mike as

71
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: a DJ also we know you in that capacity.

72
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 5: People think when you have these types of jobs that

73
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 5: you're rich.

74
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: They hear you on the radio every day and they're like, oh,

75
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 1: you know, she's got it, and they're not understanding that

76
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: sometimes you do have to have multiple streams of income.

77
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: And I think that's a lot more popular now than

78
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: it used to be.

79
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: Well, we didn't have social media, you know, back when

80
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: I was starting. I think that you know, many people

81
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 3: we were starting behind. You guys are at least starting

82
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: to go because every time you pick up the phone,

83
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 3: you're getting some kind of wealth advice or smart life

84
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 3: advice on what to do. But back then, it was

85
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: like figure it out, you know, build your grip. My

86
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: first radio job, I was making nineteen thousand dollars a year.

87
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: By the time I got to New York City, and

88
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 3: I literally my face was on billboards in New York

89
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 3: and I was making fifty six thousand dollars a year,

90
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: and people thought and I was trained, I was rubbing

91
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: nickels together. I mean, I was like, how do people

92
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: live in New York City? Like, this's fifty six thousand dollars.

93
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 3: And by the time I was at the half of

94
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 3: my game, I think I had just made two hundred

95
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: thousand working three jobs.

96
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: Damn.

97
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: See my first video job, I was making fifty thousand

98
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: dollars a year. So I'll never forget that. But I

99
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: will say, like the second year, I went in and

100
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, well, I you know, did

101
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: what I did do the first year, and I did

102
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: get I did get a good raise when I did that,

103
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: But it was like every year I was going in

104
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 1: and asking for it. Did you ever go in and say, look,

105
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: I need a raise or okay?

106
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: So yes I did.

107
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 4: I don't want to.

108
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 5: Say women don't do that as much as men do.

109
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 5: I did.

110
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 3: I was reading my yellow buns on and I okay,

111
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: and I was like, I'm gonna do it.

112
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna do it.

113
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 3: Here's my speech, and I practiced and I walked in

114
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: and you know, told why, laid down my rating showed

115
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: you know why I should get a raise and be

116
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 3: paid the same as my counterparts.

117
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: And a week later I was fired.

118
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: You I won't even say right there, I don't have to,

119
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: I know, but I was. I was because I never

120
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: knew what happened. I was like, there was there's.

121
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 3: A which station, but there was a lot that happened

122
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 3: back then, but that that was one of them. And

123
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 3: I found myself on the unemployment line. And you know,

124
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 3: at that time, they're like the max is four hundred

125
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: five dollars a week. What you're gonna do with four

126
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: hundred five dollars, you know a week? And just then

127
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: a billboard with a taxi cab was rolling by, you

128
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 3: know how they have the little triangulars on the top,

129
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: and it was of me on my radio show, and

130
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: I said, God, please don't let it stop here, Please

131
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 3: don't let it stop. It stopped right next to me,

132
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 3: and I said, Okay, you're trying to tell me something.

133
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 5: Right.

134
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 3: By the time I got to the front of the line,

135
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 3: I realized that the message was you will never find

136
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: yourself on the unemployment line again. You can never put

137
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: your destiny, financial or otherwise in somebody else's hands. It's

138
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: got to be about ownership. It's not about it's got

139
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 3: to be about creating your own platforms. So real estate

140
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 3: then became a not just a job or a career

141
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: or you know, real estate literally became my culture. It

142
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 3: became the blood that ran through my veins because that

143
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 3: gave me an opportunity to have ownership on one flip

144
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: house that made two hundred and twenty five thousand, right that.

145
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: Was and I made them two years on radio and listen,

146
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: I got my real estate license recently too, and congratulations. Yes,

147
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: I'm very excited about because the test once, Yeah, I

148
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: got a.

149
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 4: I ain't gonna lie hard.

150
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: I studied so hard because people kept telling me, you're

151
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: not going to pass on the first time, and everyone

152
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: kept saying that to me.

153
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 5: So I was taking all these practice.

154
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: Tests like on on YouTube and everything, and I did

155
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: the online classes. I didn't go in person, and so

156
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: when I went in, I left and I would say,

157
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: I'm not too sure what happened, but I did pass

158
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: on the first time.

159
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: Well, most people take it three times before they passed,

160
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: so you should feel good good.

161
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 5: That three four five, And I won't like my birth're

162
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 5: talking about.

163
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: You, Mike, what happened.

164
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 4: At least I got it.

165
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 5: All right.

166
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, so now let's pivot to everything that you

167
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: guys have going on. Right now, we're married to realist

168
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 1: date and this show actually started.

169
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 5: Was it during a pandemic or right?

170
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: It was during a pandemic when everybody was stuck in

171
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 3: the house. Mike just started filming us and our business.

172
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: You know, we were teaching the kids at the kitchen

173
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: countertop and running our businesses from the dining room table,

174
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 3: and he just started filming. We went back when the

175
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: world started to open up and I said, Mike, I

176
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 3: think there's a show here. So we edited it together

177
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 3: a sizzle real, took it over, pitched it to HGTV,

178
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 3: who I was with already, and they loved it right.

179
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 3: So then we partnered up with fifty one Minds. At

180
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 3: the time, they were doing Ti and Tiny's family Hustle.

181
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 3: But we were like, Okay, they get black people, they

182
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 3: get the black family. They're not gonna want us to

183
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: change up anything. You know, they'll get us, and they

184
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 3: really did in a big way. It comes across really authentic.

185
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 3: So yeah, it started with his cell phone and now

186
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 3: what nineteen million viewers later, here we are.

187
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: And I think it also is AGTV loves you like

188
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: just seeing the things that you guys have done already.

189
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: And he was always in the background when you were

190
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: in the forefront, just actually supporting what it is that

191
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: you do, making sure everything got done right too, which

192
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: is really helpful.

193
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 4: I had no problem with it.

194
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, so let me throw this up. Here's my confession, Angela.

195
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: He was doing all the work and I was looking

196
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: like I did it on camera.

197
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 5: That's what I'm talking about. That's how smart people working now.

198
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 3: But a few times I told our old production company,

199
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: I said, y'all need to just turn the camera round.

200
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: The real show is what's happening back here. Yeah, and

201
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: they wouldn't, but you know, everything has its time.

202
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 5: And people need to see that.

203
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: And it's also nice to see you have three daughters,

204
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: to see you guys interact with them. I saw on

205
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 1: the episode where she was going to the dentist for

206
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: the first time.

207
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 4: Oh you give you given the inside school because that

208
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 4: season three.

209
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that's the the I did get a little

210
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 1: bit of a sniffet of what's about to happen. But

211
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 1: it's just really cute to see your interactions.

212
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 5: As a girl dad and being in the house with

213
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 5: four women.

214
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 4: You know what. I wouldn't have it any other way though.

215
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 6: I mean sometimes they can find me crazy on a Monday,

216
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 6: but I wouldn't have a dog.

217
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 5: Okay, got to at least right somebody to talk to.

218
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,359
Speaker 4: No, seriously, I do not mind it, Angela.

219
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 6: When I tell you I wouldn't have any other way,

220
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 6: I solely mean that I get to be authentically mean

221
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 6: in every facet emotionally, you know, physically, I am there

222
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 6: and I tell fellows all the time, loving them more

223
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 6: doesn't make you any less of a man, because a

224
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 6: lot of dudes feel.

225
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: Like, oh, I got girls, I got it. I can't

226
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 4: be hard.

227
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 6: You don't have to be you feel what I'm saying like,

228
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 6: you can be as corny as you want, cliche as

229
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 6: you want, you know, as much as you want, and

230
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 6: still be a man.

231
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: Why do guys feel like they can't be like that

232
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 3: with their sons? Go like, what the same way? You know,

233
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: if you can be mushy with your daughter and you

234
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 3: can be loving and affectionate with your daughter.

235
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 5: I just think a lot of guys think it's differ.

236
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: Don't want to be I got to make sure he

237
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 1: knows that the real world that's false, because you can

238
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: be you can teach them both aspects.

239
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 5: Right, you know what I mean? Let me ask you this.

240
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: So when everything was like when you were leaving New

241
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: York where you and Mike together already.

242
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 2: We've been together nineteen years.

243
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, so what was that like and how

244
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: did their relationship kind of because that's a difficult time too,

245
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: and you're like, I don't have this job anymore. Sometimes

246
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: even for yourself esteem because you've had been doing that,

247
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: and that's how people knew you. That can be hard,

248
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: even carrying over to your relationship.

249
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 3: So actually that's not why I left New York because

250
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: when I lost that first job, I went to real

251
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 3: estate and I was making more in real estate than

252
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,199
Speaker 3: I'd ever made in my life, and I became Rookie

253
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 3: of the Year, and then I got my broker's license

254
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: and I really built myself up. So when I got

255
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 3: the call to go back to radio here in New

256
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 3: York at another station, my first answer was no, because

257
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 3: I know what that's going to look like. But then

258
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,439
Speaker 3: I got smart and said, well, I can actually look

259
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: at this like a four hour commercial for my business.

260
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 3: If I go back, they'll pay me. But then I

261
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 3: get to integrate real estate and balance spoke because I'll

262
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 3: never make that mistake again of not having my own

263
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 3: And that's what I did. I went back to radio

264
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 3: here for a couple of years. But when I got

265
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 3: pregnant with our first child, and I say this because

266
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 3: you don't have children yet, right. What a lot of

267
00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 3: people also didn't realize is that entertainment, at least here

268
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 3: we were guarded by a union. And when I got pregnant.

269
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 3: I thought I had health insurance either through the radio

270
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: station or through the union, because I was paying dues

271
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 3: and I was working right, and when I got ready

272
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 3: to go out, not one of them was paying my

273
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 3: health insurance for me to deliver my child.

274
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 6: What?

275
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 3: And that is when I quit radio and left and

276
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 3: I left New York, I was done.

277
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: I was done.

278
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 5: I did not know that.

279
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 3: So you mean to tell me all these years, dudes

280
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: and everybody's pointing fingers about who's going to pay my

281
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 3: hospital bills when it's time to deliver my baby?

282
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 5: You were like, I'm done.

283
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: Done?

284
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah now, and listen, real estate is I think all

285
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: about trust? Like I was saying, I just got my license,

286
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 1: and I've been doing a lot of stuff in this space.

287
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: The reason I didn't even intend to get my license,

288
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 1: I basically during a pandemic, was like, I'm going to

289
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: take these classes just because I felt like because I've

290
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: been purchasing things. We talked about the building. I have

291
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: some other properties, a brown I have a two Brownstones.

292
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: I have a condo and Williamsburg. I just did something

293
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: in Miami, and then I have an airbnb upstate New

294
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: York and I have another house in Detroit, and I

295
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: flipped some stuff in Detroit too, and I got.

296
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 5: Houses, y'all got thousands.

297
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: I said to myself, was I should go ahead and

298
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: get my license. Well, first, I said I should take

299
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: the classes just because I wanted to learn more, because

300
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: I never wanted to be in a situation where I'm

301
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 1: talking about things and doing things but don't know all

302
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 1: the ins and outs, because some of that stuff is

303
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: very unglamorous. It's nice to go show a house and see, oh,

304
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 1: this room has this, and here's the split system and

305
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: the floor, but it's way different when there's a lot

306
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 1: of ins and outs and really meticulous details. And so

307
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: I was like, well, let me learn those things so

308
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: I never feel like I don't know what I'm talking about.

309
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: And then I was like, I might as well just

310
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: go ahead and take the test.

311
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 3: That's exactly what happened with me when I started as

312
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 3: an investor, and I saw some of the checks the

313
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 3: real estate agents were getting, and I said, wait a minute,

314
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: Wait a.

315
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: Minute, there's some money being left on this treat Because

316
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: it's illegal to get paid from real estate unless you're licensed,

317
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: So even if you do a referral.

318
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 5: You can't get anything from that legally.

319
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 3: What I love though, is actually seeing other women from

320
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: entertainment be about their business. Seeing you really be about

321
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: your business while you have this platform.

322
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 2: I love it. You know.

323
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: There are many people who tell me, Egypt, you inspired

324
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 3: me to get in the real estate, or you inspired

325
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 3: me to do X, Y and z Z. But you're

326
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 3: inspiring this new generation of people, and I think it's incredible.

327
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 2: That's what we should be using on our plan.

328
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you also have a furniture line, which I

329
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,200
Speaker 1: think is amazing because I feel like that is a

330
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: natural progression for you. So can we talk about that

331
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: for a second.

332
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: Please.

333
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 5: Look, I'm not going to stop you because I love

334
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 5: furniture shopping. Yeah. But oh and well, okay, you know what,

335
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 5: I'm gonna buy some wallpaper and.

336
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 3: A real estate brokerage and a design firm. It's all

337
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 3: called Indigo Road. So I used to for twenty years.

338
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,959
Speaker 3: I owned Egypt Shirode real Estate and Design Group. He

339
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 3: owned Jackson Draper Construction and we would work together, but

340
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 3: it never hit us to just bring the companies together

341
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,959
Speaker 3: as one and build a legacy company. So that's what

342
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 3: we decided to do. We opened our office is in Atlanta.

343
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,679

Speaker 3: celebrities you'll be saying soon. And then construction of course.

348
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 3: And the furniture line, which is available or sold out

349
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:20,800

00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great because and I want to know what

351
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 1: inspire you to do that, because I will say, as

352
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: I shot for furniture, sometimes it's hard to find things

353
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: that doesn't look very like old fashion or you know,

354
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: so I'm always like, man, I want to see and

355

00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 3: Okay, So I'll be sending you something, but you have

358
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 3: because it's all sold out.

359
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 2: So here's the deal.

360
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 3: As a mom, like three kids and our youngest is four,

361
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: our eldest is twenty two. So as a mom, I

362
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 3: wake up with this list of things that I want

363
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 3: to do for myself.

364
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 2: Every day.

365
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: I told my husband this, and by the end of

366
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 3: the day I felt like I wasn't a comp wishing

367
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 3: any of them because it's like, Mama need this and

368
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 3: this and then clients need this, my husband needs this.

369
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: He wants me to hang from the chandeliers.

370
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 5: And you know, at the end of the day, it's

371
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 5: only why did he tasted that same.

372
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 2: I got it hard enough, he put a brace.

373
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 3: But but I told him, I said, twenty twenty three

374
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: is like my year of attacking my bucket list, everything

375
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 3: I wanted to do for myself. If twenty twenty three

376
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: closes and I didn't do all of this, then I'm.

377
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: Gonna feel like I failed, you know.

378
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 3: And so he could have been selfish and said, well,

379
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 3: what about me too, and he said, no, this is

380
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 3: your year. Whatever you want to do, I'm gonna get

381
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: behind it. You want wallpaper, you want frondsire, whatever. So

382
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: he let me travel, he let me do the meetings,

383
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: and he was doing hair. As y'all saw on social media,

384
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 3: he was corn rowing today time.

385
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 4: My head game is mean, it could be a future.

386
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: It's a little thing where he should have said, you know,

387
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 3: it's fine, and Mike for years a contactor.

388
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: You know, I also feel like it's really hard to

389
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: get good people to come in and do the work

390
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: on home. So you grew up with your family kind

391
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: of knowing how to do that type of work, right.

392
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

393
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 6: I was got into the business with my uncle and

394
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 6: my grandfather. They had their own business and they would

395
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 6: always tag me along and show me the ropes.

396
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 4: Right.

397
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 6: But at that time, I wasn't supposed to be there

398
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 6: because when you're working on construction sites, it's sixteen and

399
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 6: then it's eighteen to actually do physical.

400
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 4: Labor, Okay, right, But I was there.

401
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 6: Twelve years old, thirteen year old, so I saw the

402
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 6: engine and outs. And then later on in life as

403
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 6: an adult, you know, I started working here in New

404
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 6: York City with Local twenty eight sheet metal workers, which

405
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 6: is duckwork anything metal that was us. He became a

406
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 6: journeys man, which is the top of the tier within

407
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 6: the trade, and then for my business and then took

408
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 6: it to Atlanta and Jackson Draper Renovations.

409
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 4: We've been knocking it out ever since.

410
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: People don't understand being able to have those skills is

411
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: life saving. Like if there's certain things you could do

412
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: in your home on your own, you know how much

413
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: money that saved you. When I think of how much

414
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: I've been spending on things, and even knowing what you're

415
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: supposed to spend on things, because they'll tell you anything.

416
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something.

417
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 3: That's when I realized he was my husband, because I

418
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 3: met him in the nightclubs DJ and you know, I

419
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:15,879
Speaker 3: saw him at the Puerto Rican Day Parade on the

420
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 3: float and the whole thing. We flirted, but I would

421
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 3: never get with him because to me, he was just

422
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 3: an industry guy.

423
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 6: Right.

424
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 3: It wasn't until I called my mentor Ulysses and said,

425
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 3: I need you to send a team over to this house.

426
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 3: I had to just fire the other one. He showed

427
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 3: up not a DJ, and when I saw him working

428
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 3: in contact to not a DJ, but when I didn't know,

429
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 3: you know, and I saw him working with his hands,

430
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 3: and then you know.

431
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 2: I was like, oh my god, that's so sexy.

432
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 5: He's so sexy. Count just get it. Fleet The value

433
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 5: in that.

Speaker 3: Get you a man that can fix something, Give you

435
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 3: a man that knows a trade and knows a skill.

436
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 3: These ladies fifty five and old to really understand the

437
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,360
Speaker 3: value that we go to visit our aunts.

438
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 5: You know, everybody lives in Florida.

439
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 2: You know, if they're over.

440
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 3: Forty five, they live in Florida. We go down and

441
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 3: visit all the family down there. And the minute we

442
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 3: hit this community. All the old ladies come up to him,

443
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 3: They got their legs wrapped around and they're rubbing his head.

444
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: They give me their cameras and want me to videotape it,

445
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 3: and then they're like, can I.

446
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:18,560

00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 5: I got like ten things that need to be fixed

448
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 5: in my house. They are hot thousand dollars.

449
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 4: Safe to say. We don't go Florida.

450
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 5: You got a Golden Girl fan club.

451
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: But you know, it is amazing to see you guys

452
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 1: helping people get their dream homes because it's also not

453
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: easy to find a realtor you can trust. I remember

454
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: buying my first ever house in Brooklyn and having multiple

455
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: reltors until I found one who I was comfortable with.

456
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: And that is a real relationship where somebody's not just

457
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: trying to sell you anything, but they're also trying to

458
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: make sure it's the right situation and advocating for you

459
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: and not just trying to get that check.

460
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 3: Listen, I say that you're real to the same way

461
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: you wouldvet somebody who is going to watch your child.

462
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 3: If you're not just gonna leave you kids with anybody,

463
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 3: they've got to be somebody who's skilled, who knows their

464
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 3: profession who you can trust, who you've done a background

465
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 3: check on. Do the same thing with someone who's gonna

466
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 3: represent you on quite possibly the largest purchase in your life,

467
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 3: right right, So do that diligence and then let them.

468
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 3: Then let them do what they do. Trust them to

469
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 3: be the quarterback of your real estate dream team. That's

470
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 3: the other part.

471
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 4: Go get your own license up.

472
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's fact.

473
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 4: Okay.

474
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: And it's also important for people to have options. And

475
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: I love how you present, like, Okay, so I know

476
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: you wanted this, but here's this, but here's another option

477
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: that might be. You know, I'm gonna let you decide.

478
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: I'm not going to push you any which way. And

479
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: I think that's important where you're not just saying here's this,

480
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: but it shows that you do your work when you're like,

481
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: all right, here's the different things.

482
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 5: Here's what this could look like. How about we try this.

483
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: Now, this will cost this, but we can stay within

484
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: your budget if we do it this way. You know,

485
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: I think that's really important for people to also understand

486
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: that because a lot of times when we go into

487
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: and I just think of myself when I was in

488
00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: New Be not knowing anything, and how you have to

489
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: really have that trust in somebody that they're doing all

490
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: this work for you to just make your life simpler.

491
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: But it's just learning your client.

492
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 3: That's that process, Yes, is really understanding what it is

493
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 3: that they need, and sometimes what our clients think.

494
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 2: They need is not really.

495
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 3: For instance, had a woman client recently almost sixty years old,

496
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 3: going into a new chapter of her life and she

497
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 3: wanted to move. She hadn't even thought about a townhouse.

498
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 3: But my thing is, you say you want to travel,

499
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 3: you say you don't want house maintenance. They got townhouses

500
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 3: with elevators. You can live here too, Yeah, you know,

501
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 3: just come look at it, and it was perfect for her.

502
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 3: But really assessing not just what the client says, but

503
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 3: where are they at every chapter in their life and

504
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: what is going to be best for them and show them,

505
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 3: show them the options. But you said you just got

506
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 3: your license. My question for you is, what's the plan.

507
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 3: Is it just to you know, buy your own properties

508
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 3: and be able to keep those checks, which are smart,

509
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 3: or are you thinking you're going to represent clients as well?

510
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: I do want to represent client, because yeah I do,

511
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: and I actually have already signed on to an agency.

512
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: Havn't an I'm sir hand okay, okay, yeah, so I.

513
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 5: Did just all right, we'll talk about it.

514
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: But no, I'm.

515
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 5: Saying, you know, if you want to be with.

516
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 3: A minority own a former radio personality who understands your plight.

517
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 2: No, I'm joking, but it's great.

518
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: My plan is really to learn a lot more and

519
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: I do want to do that. Like, my family has

520
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 1: some properties after my grandparents pass that they want to

521
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: so I'm going to represent them on that. And they

522
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: had a difficult time trying to find somebody that they

523
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: trusted because you know, for some people when things like

524
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: that happen and it involves multiple people just finding the

525
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 1: right person that you could trust, even to sell your property,

526
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's not easy to make sure that it's

527
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: price right and to even know that, you know, those

528
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: percentages are negotiable.

529
00:21:58,440 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 5: So she's listening.

530
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 4: To how she put her Really she knows you remind.

531
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 5: Me of myself.

532
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 3: I swear to you, remind me of myself like twenty

533
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 3: years ago on the radio doing just this. But she's

534
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 3: trying to walk out of here with an HGTV show.

535
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 5: Is not playing.

536
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: But I feel like, you know, markets are so like

537
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: Atlanta is on fire right, and so I know it

538
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: was really tough even for people to get homes. I've

539
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 1: seen people who are putting in office for homes and

540
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 1: going through and losing their homes that they're like not

541
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: even getting to buy it even though for was accepted,

542
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: you know.

543
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 5: So it is such a competitive market.

544
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,239
Speaker 1: So for you guys trying to make sure that you

545
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: are representing your clients and getting them what they need,

546
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: sometimes that could be heartbreaking when you're like, I'm trying

547
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: to get this deal.

548
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I never want clients to overpay

549
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 3: for anything, but the market is going to always dictate

550
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 3: to us what something is worth. How much is a

551
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 3: person willing to pay, And if you got twenty people

552
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 3: overbidden for it, then that is what the market is

553
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: saying that it's that it's worth right now. But over

554
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 3: the last two years, yeah, it's been a short shortage

555
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 3: of housing inventory, specifically in the Southeast region but across

556
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 3: the nation. That's what we've been experiencing that they couldn't

557
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 3: keep up, you know, with the building demands those two

558
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 3: years where COVID set us back with materials just being

559
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 3: stuck on the seas. So we're still playing, we're still

560
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 3: playing catch up for But what else you want to

561
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 3: talk about better than real estate atlandemic?

562
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 5: Like we're married to.

563
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 2: Real estate, but we can talk about other things.

564
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, but that pandemic really made that

565
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: real estate in Atlanta go up through the roots.

566
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 3: Okay, So one of our properties has had more than doubled,

567
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: right in fifteen months.

568
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: It's more than double because of that.

569
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 5: Wow, Yeah, that's a great feeling.

570
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: You know what I did for the first time, I

571
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: did a pre construction purchase and the building's not even

572
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: done yet and it's already worth like.

573
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 5: Double what I paid for pre construction.

574
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: Island not pocketbooks about farmland. You remember Cardi B said she'd

575
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: rather have a burkingness and property sometimes, and she did

576
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: say that, And I'm gonna tell you what I understand

577
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: from that though, because I would say this like another

578
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: side that we don't because real estate is great when

579
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,959
Speaker 1: the investment's good, whatever, But when you have tenants who

580
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: aren't paying, when you have to evict people, and that's

581
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: such a long process not have to deal with that.

582
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 3: But there's so many you know, I think that people

583
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 3: are being They're very one dimensional about how you think

584
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,200
Speaker 3: that you can earn money off of real estate. I mean, really,

585
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 3: what's being overlooked is the fact that you can just

586
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 3: rent out a piece of your land and allow a

587
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 3: tower to be put up, or allow billboards to be erected,

588
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 3: you know, and get ten to twenty thousand dollars a

589
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: month off of just allowing that on a piece of

590
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 3: your property. That doesn't include what you could actually rent

591
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 3: the house for, or depending upon what type of land

592
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 3: it is, what you could lease the land for.

593
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 4: You know.

594
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: So, I mean there's so many opportunities to make money

595
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 3: that are being overlooked. But mark this day, in this

596
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 3: moment when I'm saying this, the real money to be

597
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 3: made is going to be an agricultural land. Okay, that's

598
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 3: just the direction, that's the wave right now, get some farmland.

599
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 2: Sit on it.

600
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,239
Speaker 3: I don't care if you put tents on it, have

601
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 3: retreats and gumba y'all on it.

602
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 5: Get some farmland. I feel you on that.

603
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: Now. I want to ask you, since you said we

604
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: could talk about other things, you know, other than real estate,

605
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: So could you ever see yourself coming back to radio

606
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: or you feel like there's a permanent bad taste in

607
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: your mouth?

608
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 2: No, not a bad taste.

609
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 3: Let me tell you something. I was a radio host

610
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 3: for twenty years. Yes, you were, and it was an

611
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 3: incredible experience. It was just a chapter in my life

612
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 3: that I was done with. I felt like I've done

613
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 3: all I can do. I wanted to say more than

614
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 3: I could say. There were podcasts at that moment, you know,

615
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:37,919
Speaker 3: I wanted to say more than what I could in

616
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 3: thirty seconds in between songs. But also there was a

617
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 3: lot of pain tied to that radio journey for me.

618
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,879
Speaker 3: Mike knows he was there with me, you know, along

619
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 3: the way. Hopefully you know what I'm saying when on that.

620
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: As a woman, often in the entertainment business, we can

621
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 3: be dragged.

622
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 5: Yeah.

623
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely, And with social media it's not any better right now,

624
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: It's even but but even behind the scenes, it is

625
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: not easy. And I think sometimes people just don't understand

626
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: it if you're not in it, and yeah.

627
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 3: Well no, let's let's just let's just speak to it,

628
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 3: because I think that we have to write anything I

629
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 3: know about you, your career, your show is that you

630
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 3: You're very honest.

631
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 2: You asked the straightforward questions.

632
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 3: Yes, the reality is that often women in entertainment we

633
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 3: have been minimized.

634
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: To boobs that laugh.

635
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 3: Okay, and when you want to grow and you got

636
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 3: something substantial to say, and you as my shirte to

637
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 3: thank you. But but you know, so when you get

638
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 3: to a place of where you feel and listen, in

639
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 3: anything that we do, there's going to be a season.

640
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 3: You got to recognize what season you're in. And as

641
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 3: the season turns, so do you. And so I recognize

642
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 3: that in that season of my life it was time

643
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 3: to turn. It just was nothing left for me. I

644
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 3: am grateful for it, but there's nothing left that I

645
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:02,120
Speaker 3: can do that I can't do on my own social

646
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 3: media channels.

647
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: And I also feel like, you know, just even mental

648
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: health was not a big conversation back then like it

649
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: is now.

650
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 5: But even mentally you have to feel like sometimes.

651
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: You're supposed to feel like this is the best opportunity

652
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: in the world, and how could you, you know, not

653
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: want to do this, But then mentally it can be

654
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: so draining that you're like, I would much rather do

655
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: anything else.

656
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,719
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think people understand how mentally taxing it

657
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 3: is to entertain. Comedians will tell you, you know, you kind

658
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 3: of look at the stats. A lot of comedians who

659
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 3: have mental health issues too, And I was listening to

660
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 3: a Wanda Sykes to even talk about it, to entertain

661
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 3: You're giving more than just physically being there. You're giving

662
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 3: your spirit, You're giving your personal journey, You're just you're

663
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 3: giving it all. It is like working twelve hours a day,

664
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 3: even if you're only on stage four hour. So yeah,

665
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 3: sometimes you would rather just, you know what, let me

666
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 3: go get a day job.

667
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 4: I mean, Angela.

668
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,800
Speaker 6: It falls into the place where I say all the time,

669
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 6: the three biggest things in life are should I say

670
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 6: keys is health, happiness and peace, because if you take

671
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 6: those out of any situation, everything else becomes mundane. You

672
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 6: can have all the money in the world, but if

673
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 6: you're not happy, it won't matter. Right, have all the

674
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 6: materials in the world, but if your health is fludy,

675
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 6: it doesn't matter. So your health, happiness, and peace or

676
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 6: your top goals in it all.

677
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: He's sexy.

678
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 4: I love him.

679
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 5: I love that for you.

680
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: I love that for both of you though, because I definitely,

681
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: like you said, you've been you had did radio for

682
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 1: twenty years and you're somebody I've always paid attention to.

683
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 2: Like, it's crazy that we're just meeting.

684
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 5: I know, and we follow each other.

685
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: Every time you do something, I'll report on it, and

686
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: you know, for me, it's always like, because I'm in radio,

687
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: I've heard stories about things that have happened. I've seen

688
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: things that you've said, you know, about your experience and

689
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: your journey, and I'm happy to see the space that

690
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,479
Speaker 1: you're in now, you know, because I feel like I

691
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: look to you as somebody when it came to me

692
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 1: wanting to do real estate, You're the person that I'm like, Okay,

693
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 1: I kind of want to follow that path, right, you

694
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: know that Egypt has I still enjoy doing radio and

695
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: I'm you know, very excited to have my own show

696
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: and start this journey and I'm working really hard on it.

697
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 5: Thank you.

698
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: But I also feel like, like you said, thank goodness,

699
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: we have other things, because I never want to feel

700
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: like I need to have this or I don't have anything.

701
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to make sure I establish myself another way,

702
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: so that I'm doing this just because I want to,

703
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 1: not because I have to.

704
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: I had an opportunity to interview Oprah Winfrey and I

705
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 3: asked her for her advice some some years ago, and

706
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 3: I just said, like, how do I break through? What's

707
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: the breakthrough moment? And I never forget? She told me,

708
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: Number one, find what you are passionate, truly passionate about,

709
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 3: and go hard in the paint for it.

710
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 2: But then additionally hard in the paint.

711
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:44,120
Speaker 3: She said hardin askh today. She told me, essentially go hard. Okay, right,

712
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 3: but you got to find what you are authentically good

713
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 3: at and authentically passionate about. And if you're not passionate

714
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 3: about something anymore, it's gonna show, right, And I felt

715
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 3: like that for that career with me. You know it

716
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 3: was going to show, but I forgot, so you interrupted me.

717
00:29:58,680 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 2: You know I'm over forty.

718
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 6: Now, can't You got to go hard and stop playing.

719
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 5: Having to do something?

720
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, she told me to sign my own set.

721
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: Never mind what you want.

722
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: But we were talking about basically doing something because you

723
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: want to, not because you have to.

724
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: That's not what we were talking about. What I was

725
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: gonna say was really good, and I lost the.

726
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 5: Thought and some advice Oprah gave you.

727
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 3: He knows me by now, he knows if your whole

728
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 3: train of thought it was good.

729
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: But listen, because it feels amazing you have your husband

730
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: on your journey both of you enjoy actually working with

731
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: each other. What's your times? What's your rules for when

732
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: you guys clash? Like, do you have rules on how

733
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: to handle it? Like I know he doesn't like to

734
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,520
Speaker 1: talk right in the midst of it. Like, what are

735
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 1: the rules for when you guys don't agree?

736
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 6: Rules for when we don't agree? Well, One, never get

737
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 6: disrespectful towards each other. Right, that's a definite, no matter

738
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 6: what it is, I won't disrespect her and vice versa. Two,

739
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 6: No need to yell at each other. Right, raise the

740
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 6: conversation out our voice. And three I'll pull it into

741
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 6: a closet and just kissing, rush your mouth.

742
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 3: That's how he disarms me if I just if I'm

743
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 3: having a moment like you know, we we do on

744
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 3: set sometimes and obviously in our businesses, you know, we

745
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 3: have disagreements. And for the first time a couple of

746
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 3: weeks ago, I was upset with him and my uncle

747
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 3: and I was like, I quit. He's like, you can't

748
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 3: quit your own business quick.

749
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 5: You can fire us, you can't. You can't quit the show.

750
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 2: You can't quit.

751
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 5: I said, I quit everybody.

752
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 3: I mean it lasted like five minutes. But that's how

753
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: he disarms me, he'll let me just go, go go,

754
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,720
Speaker 3: and then he grabs me, and I'm like, okay, you

755
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 3: got it anywhere you win. I mean, it's just it's

756
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 3: going to happen. It's just real. Nineteen years we would

757
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 3: be fake if we sat here and I feel like

758
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 3: we don't have disagree I.

759
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: Always feel like in the relationships, it's important to know

760
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 1: how to argue because you're going to like, there's no

761
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 1: way you don't. There's no way, because then somebody doesn't

762
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 1: care if you're not, you know, passionately disagreeing on things.

763
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 3: You can't bring up old stuff. Okay, that's the thing,

764
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 3: you know, if you've worked through it already.

765
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: We talked through it. We you know, dissected it and

766
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 2: decided that we were.

767
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 3: Past it in the midst of that argument, you cannot

768
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,080
Speaker 3: bring up what I did ten years ago.

769
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 5: That's fighting thirty right, it's pasted. We moved past it.

770
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 6: Sometimes you got to choose your battles too, you know,

771
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 6: if it really isn't a big deal, just hit a

772
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 6: person out right. Don't listen to debate, Listen to actually

773
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 6: hear what they're saying. Because sometimes we're realist, Like, all right,

774
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 6: So she finished, I'm kidding it right, you're not even

775
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 6: paying to that, because otherwise it's just going to blow

776
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 6: up and continue over and over and shuttle it right

777
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 6: there in the moment versus trying to carry it on

778
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 6: throughout the week. That's one of our biggest things, especially

779
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,160
Speaker 6: for me. You know, we'll get into it and I'm like,

780
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 6: all right, it's Tuesday, Wenesday, I'm still Friday.

781
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 4: How to get bet at that?

782
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 3: You know? And I think you know, he told me

783
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 3: something one time and it really struck me because it

784
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 3: was so true. And he said to me, Babe, sometimes

785
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 3: it's the way you say it. It's not what you're saying,

786
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 3: it's the way you say it. It comes across Mannish.

787
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 3: Now when you say to your wife you're coming across managed.

788
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 3: That cuts really deep. But I was like, what you mean?

789
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 3: And I was like, oh, just the way I just

790
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 3: said it, like DMX, I just said it, like what

791
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 3: you mean?

792
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 5: Managed?

793
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 3: But you know, when I had committed to doing more

794
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 3: listening than talking, and he explained to me that you know,

795
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 3: you can be soft. I'm here for you can be

796
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 3: soft and you can be gentle, and you know you're not.

797
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 3: Don't fight me you've had to fight the world. Don't

798
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: fight me like I'm on your team. And I do

799
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 3: believe a lot of women because we're out here fighting

800
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 3: in the world for our place in life. We're out

801
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 3: here fighting, you know, to be respected. Were fighting for

802
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 3: the same salaries with fight. It's like when do you

803
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 3: look up and realize you're shadow boxing?

804
00:33:59,240 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 2: Right?

805
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 3: You know, I don't have to fight anymore. And I

806
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 3: was able to sink into my femininity when I realized

807
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 3: I was safe.

808
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 2: You know.

809
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 5: I love that.

810
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 1: And one thing I'll say, because that is so true.

811
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: I have this piece of art that I bought. I

812
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys. Do you guys collect art?

813
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 6: We do?

814
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,319
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to talk about that too. But I

815
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: had this piece of art that I bought. But the

816
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: reason I bought it was it really spoke to me

817
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 1: because it was like some boxing gloves and he's standing

818
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 1: there and it's got like emojis on the boxing gloves.

819
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: But anyway, it just reminds me that every day I

820
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 1: was going outside, I felt like I had to fight

821
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: every single day, like just to make it through the day.

822
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 1: You know, things are way better now, but it definitely

823
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: was something that I was like at that time, I

824
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, let me get this, because every time

825
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: I look at it, I'm like, urry, let's get ready

826
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: to go outside and go fight. And it's nice to

827
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: feel like you don't have to do that, you know.

828
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, But so what color were your boxing gloves? And

829
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:49,240
Speaker 5: that one they were blue?

830
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 2: They were blue.

831
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 3: I had some pink. It's funny that you say that.

832
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 3: I asked, and I had those pink.

833
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: I have pink boxing gloves in real life at home. Yeah,

834
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 1: in real life.

835
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 3: But I had to take the box because we don't

836
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 3: realize even some of the things around does a symbolic

837
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 3: and how much they feed the music we listen to.

838
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 3: Even if we're like no, like that's my joy now,

839
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 3: the music you listen to sometimes is a vibration that

840
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 3: can carry you into an aggressive state.

841
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely right, everything we're taking it in.

842
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,040
Speaker 3: So I had these boxing gloves that my office was

843
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 3: right by the front door, and they were hanging up

844
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 3: there for years, and I realized, like how symbolic that was.

845
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 3: Every time I went out, I felt like I had

846
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 3: to fight, fight, fight, fight, And I don't want to

847
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 3: fight anymore. I just want to live a soft life.

848
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:29,919

00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: seeing you guys on ah cz F because I feel

872
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: like we need that representation. You know, you don't know

873
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: who you're affecting just by seeing both of you on there,

874
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: seeing black people, a black woman, a black man doing

875
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: the work and having shows on there. Because you know,

876
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:51,280
Speaker 1: I don't feel like we see us in that space

877
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: as much as we should.

878
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 3: So what does that tell us too, that we've got

879
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,960

Speaker 2: It's own business game.

882
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,759
