57
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: off this time. We got left off on the tech rod,

58
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,480

65
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: balanced life. Is next person I've known many years because

00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 1: even say c h I c You can't get that

86
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 1: out right, and they don't know doing with one of

87
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: the most articulate people. I know. That's what got me nervous.

88
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: You know, follower countries used to Texas accident. I gotta

89
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm talking slowing down when I was supposed to speed

90
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,960

93
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 1: Congratulations on the show. This is so necessary and you

94
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: know I'm looking forward to just listening. And because this

95
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: is a necessary conversation from a necessary authority, well, I

96
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: appreciate that, but I want you to do more talking

97
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: than listening. Because the reason I mentioned the fact that

98
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: I'm on HBCU campuses. I'm on Howard University campus for

99
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: my serious XM. And that was a plan of action

100
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: when I sat down, because I sat down with my

101
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: my peers. They go and my and my team in

102
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: the sponsors, and they go, who are you talking to, Roshane,

103
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: who are you gonna talk to us? I want to

104
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: talk to millennials eighteen to thirty four and I want

105
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,119
Speaker 1: to be divars of HBCU campuses. They go, That's why

106
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: I said, because they need information and they needed from

107
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: an authority. And so I've been fortunate to get individuals

108
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: like you who are authority, who is an authority who

109
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: are able to tell people what is your your first break?

110
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: Before we even get into the book that that you

111
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: that I've read, and I like, we were talking so

112
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: much before the interview, I was, I need to just

113
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: shut up talking and start this interview because you I've

114
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: seen your Disney dreams and not these people that you've

115
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: talked to Disney dreams or not in college and not

116
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: just HBCU campus but in colleges in general. But because

117
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: I am prominently on HBCU campus and you know you

118
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: are the authority inner and out of beauty for women

119
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: of color talk to me, you know which on what

120
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: I feel is so critical, particularly for this age group,

121
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: is for them to realize that they must be strategic

122
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: in their lives. Uh quite frankly, the ability to master

123
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: life and all that you're destined to be is inextricably

124
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: bound to how rich you are when it comes to

125
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: the inner meet And I really want to see them

126
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 1: make that investment, that internal investment in themselves, you know,

127
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: so that they can lead feelst and inspired lives. They

128
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: are creating a new script. It is resting upon their

129
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: shoulders to do so, and they need to be informed.

130
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: They need to really map out the destiny and the

131
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: road that they want to take. One of the other

132
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: things I say in the book that I think is

133
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: so essential is that you need a celebration circle. Each

134
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: of them needs to have those strategic groups, a group

135
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: of people around them, because your greatness was not designed

136
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: to operate in isolation. So it's one thing to have

137
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: a dream, it's one thing to have a vision. But

138
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: what's critical, particularly for millennials, because they are living in

139
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: this high touch age, but what it has uh fatit

140
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: in them is that they become a low touch community.

141
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 1: They really don't connect well with others, you know, certainly

142
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: not on the level that they need to as they

143
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: pursue their dreams and goals. But you know, in today's society,

144
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: you really do have to take credit for what you do.

145
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: And you have to realize that God gave you an

146
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: opportunity to do something unique except it. Yes, that's exactly right,

147
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: and say thank you, own it, you know, step into it,

148
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: be be really clear, because you know, God created us

149
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: in a view that was pretty intentional. And you know,

150
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: as I say in the book, invalidating each of us,

151
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: he gave us a Genesis statement, gave us a seven

152
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: truth and you know, the one that inspires me the

153
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: most is it says that you and I are unprecedented.

154
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: That means that nothing like us ever was or ever

155
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: will be. And so you have to not shrink back

156
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: from what I call that divine witness that is you.

157
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: You know, you gotta say thank you, You gotta own it,

158
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: you gotta be comfortable in it. It is validated by

159
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 1: the creator um you know, the earth and that holds

160
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: the seas in their places. So that is uh greatness

161
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: and you have to let that be your your acceptance

162
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: of that be your non negotiable platform sup apologizing when

163
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,479
Speaker 1: people compliment you. You know, I look at women sometimes

164
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: and you know, someone will say, oh, that's a bad

165
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: pass shoes. I love those shoes, and they'll say thank you,

166
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: and they're gritted from inny ear. Someone will compliment them

167
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: and they'll say, oh, well, uh well they I apologize it. Now.

168
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 1: How could the shoes have more going on than you?

169
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: How how could the shoes have more going on than you?

170
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 1: How could you say thank you about the shoes and

171
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: then somebody creeks, thanks, uh says something compliments you about

172
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: your greatness, and you're gonna start apologizing. I don't understand that.

173
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: I don't understand that. And so that tells me that

174
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: we have to be stopped shrinking back and be in

175
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: full except acceptance of who God created each of us

176
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: to be. And for that matter, we gotta fire our

177
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,400
Speaker 1: own inner critics. You know, we've got to go inside

178
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 1: and challenge anything that in us, that we've stamped ourselves

179
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,079
Speaker 1: with that isn't an agreement with that, because you can't

180
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: move forward. That's a thumbling block. And so you gotta

181
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: you gotta have, you gotta see yourself in where you'll

182
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: create a se issue you can't afford to look at it. No,

183
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: no different. I don't believe that empowered each of us,

184
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: each of us. For us to become disempowered by our

185
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: own characteristic thoughts, by our own shyness and fear and

186
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: worry about what others would think. We need to stop that.

187
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: That's a that's a bad audition process at that. I'm I'm,

188
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 1: I'm and I'm guess what ru Sean McDonald's exactly as

189
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: successful as I am. I did that. I will go.

190
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: You tell me my suit was sharp more I was like,

191
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: whoa I put I put a little dance on, you know, yeah,

192
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: the shoes, the tie, you know, the vans. But you

193
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: and you tell every man that was cold? Did you

194
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: close with that family feud? Uh? You know? Well you

Speaker 1: you know Steve hosted with me, you know we were

198
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,720

Speaker 1: out there and and and so I totally agree with you.

200
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: And I want to put myself out there personally because

201
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,640

Speaker 1: he's outspoken. Have have a coward when it came to

204
00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: accepting responsibility for the paths I've created and the deals

205
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: I made. That's that has to stop. That's stop, especially

206
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: in the African American community, especially in Africa. Yes, yes,

210
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: disclaimers about the power and the gifts that we possessed.

211
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: No disclaimers. Thank you. I'm gonna about this book. That's

212
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: why it's important people understand this book. This book about

213
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: inner and outer. Okay, it's important that you understand that because,

214
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: like I said, I had the outer downpath. You know,

215
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: I walk in the room, people know who I was.

216
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: I remember I went to I went to an agency

217
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: in l a big big agency in the l A

218
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 1: and they were representing it. And the guy said, okay,

219
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: he said, we have a problem with you Rashan. I said,

220
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: what do you mean. He said, Lisa's just sitting this wrong.

221
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: He brought in up a literary agent. He brought in

222
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: a personal parents agent, he brought in a film agent,

223
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: he brought in the TV agent, and he said, uh,

224
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: he said, all these people are you? All those people

225
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: are you? He said, no, We've never seen anybody like

226
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: you that you. He said, we can bring a lawyer

227
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: in there too, you know, because you do deals. And

228
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: so so I didn't realize what I was doing and

229
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 1: then appreciate a respect what I was doing. But the

230
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: whole industry knew what I was doing. They understood that

231
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: was a unique brain I was. And so when when

232
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: I read a book like this that tells me, Okay,

233
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: if you don't have your inside motivations straight, you can

234
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: be successful, but you may not blossom to the level

235
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: that you can't be because you're not accepting who you are.

236
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right, That's exactly right. That's why I

237
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: had to have you on my show, Mickey, because I

238
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: needed a nickeyism. I need the mickeyism in my life

239
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: to get Rashaan right. And then everybody read this book HBCU,

240
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: how will University, Texas, Southern University, Fixed, University of Houston,

241
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech, Alabama University. Niggeyisms will change your life. That's

242
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: what's in this book, Mickey, tell them how to find

243
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: this book? Tell them how to find this book. Bro

00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,719

Speaker 1: find it on Amazon dot com. You can order a

00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: direct from Simon and Schuster. But again, I wrote this

248
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: book because I want us to lead feelings at its

249
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: fired lives and as God would have it, it is

250
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: every place we are. So I I'm just so thankful

251
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: for Sean that you have shared this message. It is

252
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:55,120
Speaker 1: this book is about us h for such a time?

253
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: Is this you know? It's really important because you know,

254
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: as I do radio, I'm starting to be more I'm

255
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: more honest with myself. You know who am I talking about?

256
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: Who are who am I talking to? Another? I should say,

257
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: because of the fact that you know you can get

258
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: in the box and be surrounded by fear about if

259
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: I say this, how would people react? I'm gonna tell

260
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: you something. You won't know how they react just until

261
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 1: you say it or you do it. But do it

262
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: consistently and they were respected. And that's what I try

263
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,239
Speaker 1: to tell people all time. Be respectful and be reconsistent,

264
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: and people will rise up to what you're trying to

265
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: communicate on the regular basis, and that's all you're doing

266
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: in this book and this book, and I wanted let's

00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: individuals gain clarity and focus with their finances. I also

353
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: help thousands of taxpayers who owe the I r s

354
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: but simply can't afford to pay the I r s.

355
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: So I provide benefits such as pain and relief um

356
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: from the I r S and just help individuals regain

357
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: their normal sleep habits back by helping them reduce that

358
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: tax liability. I'm also an author of Unveiling the Mask,

Speaker 1: as well as a best selling author of Attracting the Best.

360
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: So I play with numbers all day. That's what I do.

361
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: Which what is your degree? End? Then my degree is

362
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 1: a mathematics I will admit I don't play with numbers

363
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: all day. If you give me a math problem, I

364
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: might get in a fight with you because you're trying

365
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: to make me look bad. My my undergraduate degree is

366
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: in accounting and sent accounting. Then I have my master's

367
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,239
Speaker 1: degree in business administration. So let me ask you this.

368
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: When you said people who you said? You said you

369
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: you do taxes right, and you taxes with people who

370
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: owe money? Did you say that yes the I R S. Okay,

371
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: Now what does that mean? Like? So when I file,

372
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: you know, my goal is not to owe. How do

373
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: you wind up owing? The I R S? Oh? My goodness,

374
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: there's a number of different ways that people owe. Um,

375
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 1: the I R S they get themselves in trouble. Maybe

376
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: there are um, an entrepreneur employed, and maybe they're not

377
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: paying taxes. They're making the income, but they're not paying

378
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 1: the taxes. They're not paying quarterly taxes, they're not paying

379
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 1: anything to the internal revenue throughout the year. And then

380
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: all of a sudden they owe this big large sum

381
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, fifty thousand, you know, whatever that number may

382
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: look like. And um, they're not sleeping well because the

383
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 1: I R S is sending them notices and knocking on

384
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: their doors, and we want our money. Like I I

385
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: have paychecks the service I use and because if otherwise,

386
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: I'd probably be a person who owes the government because

387
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: they take all the money out. They take money out

388
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,400
Speaker 1: of my account and out of the account they pay

389
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: the employee, and they pay the government that the taxes

390
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: that are due to the government. And that's a good

391
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: way to protect yourself. Correct, Yes, a very good way

392
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: have that. They have it automatically come out of the check.

393
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 1: Now let me let me now, Dr White, I'm that

394
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 1: from that person in trouble. I've come to you and

395
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 1: I owe money. I don't have any money. What do

396
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: you do for me? How do you How do you

397
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: save a guy who started a small business or an

398
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,159
Speaker 1: individual who got a love bonus and didn't do the

399
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: taxes on the bonus like he was supposed to. Kept

400
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: saying he was gonna do it, kept saying she was

401
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: gonna do it, but they didn't do it. End of

402
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 1: the year, by all those taxes they or a thousand dollars,

403
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: how ten thousand dollars? How do they recover from something

404
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: like that when they come to you, because they also

405
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 1: got to pay you for your services? Correct? Exactly they

406
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: have to pay for the services. Well, there's something that

407
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: the I R S caused, the debt forgiveness plan, and

408
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 1: there's certain criterias that an individual must fall into in

409
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: order to uh fall into one of the plans. The

410
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 1: first one is of course the offer and compromise program.

411
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: Then of course you know we can fall into the

412
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: partial payment installment plans, but who wants to pay partial

413
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: and partial um partial pay installments? And then there's the

414
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: penalty abatement. So when clients come to me, I usually

415
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: go through an analysis to figure out if they qualify.

416
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: First of offer any of the programs that forgiveness programs

417
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: that the I R S is offering, and then from

418
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: there we look at their financial situation and then do

419
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: an analysis to say, hey, is this something that the

420
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: I R S will approve? Um. I don't stick a

421
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: client into any of the programs that the I R

422
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: S offers unless I know that I am going to

423
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 1: have a great success rate. My success rate and setting

424
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 1: debt is about so if I don't think that I

425
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: can settle, then I'm not gonna get you through. I'm

426
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: not gonna even try to play with you. I'm gonna

427
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: be honest upfront and say I don't think we can

428
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: win with this one, but that's that's what I do.

429
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: I try to put them in one of the three

430
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: debt forgiveness programs, so you are honest, You're not there

431
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: just were all these business to make money. But you're

432
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: not gonna lead somebody down the rabbit hole like you

433
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: can do something with them, and you see the odds

434
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: of them winning. It's just you getting paid or getting

435
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: them more debt because they owe you now, because they

436
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: owe the government, They're definitely not gonna pay you. You

437
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. No, you know what. One thing

438
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: with Shawn, I'm all about honesty and integrity in the

439
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 1: business that I'm in. It's really about building relationships. And

440
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: the more positive relationships that I build, the more my

441
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: business is gonna grow. I'm not gonna lead you down

442
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: the road path and say hey, I can get you

443
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: through this, knowing that I can't. I've been before the

444
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: i RS too many times, so I know what will

445
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: pass and I know well what will not pass. Okay,

449
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,000

Speaker 1: believe I'm gonna get my money back. I'm gonna go

451
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: the government gonna leave me alone. I'll just tell you

452
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 1: the truth now, because I've been noticing that going. I

Speaker 1: that you were right and the government was wrong. Say

460
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: that because you've been called the financial physician. Exactly. I'm

461
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: not the only one saying that. People aren't making your laugh,

462
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: but you've been called the financial physician because of your technique,

463
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: your style, your bedside manner. Tell me, when you get

464
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,879
Speaker 1: a title like that, what responsibility comes with it? A

465
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: lot comes with it, because when you just think about

466
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: the words physician, you know people are looking at me

467
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: in a different manner. So um again, as I said,

468
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: when I was coined the financial physician, it was just

469
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: one of those things that individuals came to me because

470
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: I've been able to diagnose the situation, seriously diagnose. It's

471
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: just being able to diagnose the financial situation and help

472
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 1: people get out of the problems that they're in. UM.

473
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: And we're not just talking about what taxes. We're talking

474
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: about our business owners who may be stuck in a

475
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: in a rut as well. Maybe their numbers aren't panning

476
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: out the way that they want and maybe their their

477
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: their profit margins aren't where they want them to be.

478
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: But just being able to really clearly look at the

479
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: numbers and say, hey, let's shift things a little bit

480
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: and maybe this this will work. So UM, just being

481
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 1: able to really really, as I said, diagnosed situations as

482
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: it relates to money. Rashan, I'm not gonna play around

483
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: with nothing else but the numbers. This is really interesting

484
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: because when you came out of college, did you go

485
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,919
Speaker 1: work for someone that did you go immediately into a

486
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: small business platform. No. When I came out of college,

487
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: I worked in corporate America, and actually, truth be told,

488
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: I stayed in corporate America for twenty years. UM. I

489
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: had the business as well as working in corporate America,

490
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 1: and I kept saying I need to really get from

491
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,679
Speaker 1: underneath his corporate job, because I have so much, so

492
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: much talent, you know, God has gifted me, and why

493
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 1: am I staying here? But something just kept pulling at

494
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: me to stay there with corporate and UM. Eventually I

495
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,919
Speaker 1: just said, Hey, I need to take this jump, and

496
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: I did. I took the leap, and I stepped out

497
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 1: on face and I began to grow the business. And

498
00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 1: the thing that um Struggle wrote, I talked about that

499
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: in my life a lot, you know, because of the

500
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: fact that even when you're successful, there is struggle road.

501
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: And so you're just telling people in your book and

502
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: reading your book and running your business and living your

503
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 1: life being a single mom overcoming the odds. It's just

504
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: be honest with yourself first and then tell the world

505
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 1: this is who I am. And we can tell people

506
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: this is who I am. Understand that success will come

507
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: that way because I'm telling you the truth. If you

508
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: tell the people the truth, then they know who you're

509
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: dealing with, you can overcome. I'm just telling people in general,

510
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: kind of getting my soap box right now. DR Why

511
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: is that I tell people in generals that if you

512
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: tell people who you are and you believe who you are,

513
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: then you can win. You tell people who you think

514
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: they want to believe you are, you will not win.

515
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: It'll be short term success, long term failure. So coming

516
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: out of box and writing about these truths allowed me

517
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 1: to believe that your success is not gonna stop and

518
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: every award that you've achieved so far will only get bigger.

519
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: Now you're in the Rushan McDonald, you know you rolling nicker,

591
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: you up on your bike and you're riding. Okay, okay,

592
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: give me a sith right there. You hop on the

593
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: bike with a wet butt. Yeah, yeah, because I just

594
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: riding a bike with a dry button. It's already hard.

595
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna you're gonna hop on a bicycle seat

596

Speaker 1: with a with a just grinding for how many miles?

597
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: How many miles? Miles? Tickets? You gotta go for a hundred,

598
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: you gotta go hundred, and come on down, come on down.

599
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: Let's let's be truthful. Now, let's be truth because you

Speaker 1: I don't want to food. This close women is water.

602
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: So you do a hundred miles plus on the bike

603
00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: and then you get and what happens. That's after you

604
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: battle the head wind, heat and humidity. Then you get

605
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: up to mike and you go for a nice twenty

606
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:12,240

607
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: I will tell you where you lost me. First of all,

00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: on one of the little one of the little life jackets.

00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I'll probably catch you on that bike.

612
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: But I'm doing right now. When it comes to running,

613
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to peddle me in one of the

614
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: little rikishaws. Just god, just running a bot me. I'm

00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: going by, Darryl, I'll see you the Fritish life. Brother.

616
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: This is how we're gonna end it on this one

617
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: because many how many have you done? How many have

618
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: you done Darrel? How many I've done it? Close and

619
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: probably thirty. Uh And the cool part about it, I've

620
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: done them over all around the world, you know, so

621
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: that uh I know him in Germany. I done him

622
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,239
Speaker 1: in for that. It didn't Mark, I done done over

623
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: in the Canary Islands. I've done them over in Germany. Uh.

624
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: So they mean they take your place on around the

625
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: world man. And it's absolutely fascinating and actually is going

626
00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: to lead into a lot of things we're gonna talk

627
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: about today about making money, because there's a lot of

628
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: money to be made. See there, I know how this

629
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: conversation goes man, Well, you know, come on, let's go

630
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: and talk about this money making conversation, how money to

631
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: be made? Because what I try to tell people, because

632
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: especially people in the African American community, we have such

633
00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: a limited scope on our value and how money is

634
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 1: being made, and we get left out of the technology world.

635
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 1: We get left out of the you know, automative of cars,

636
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 1: the drones out there, the tech world, the app world,

637
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: and there are so many ways. We want to start

638
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 1: a restaurant business, we wanna start a car wash business,

639
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: we gonna start a barbecue service, We're gonna start a

640
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 1: delivery service, a lot of stuff that really, the world

641
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 1: has gotten so big that the opportunities are even bigger

642
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: for you to go there. And if you if you

643
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 1: come there with a plan of a small business SBA,

644
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: they got something for you there to help you win.

645
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 1: And so with that being said, tell us about this

646
00:34:56,600 --> 00:35:00,800
Speaker 1: transition transitional dollar that you're talking about. Yeah, but I

647
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: think first of all, you know, people understand there's making money,

648
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 1: that there's making money and then uh to support your lifestyle,

649
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: and then there's making money to support you know, you're lineage.

650
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: And so when you did get to talk about the

651
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,320
Speaker 1: sort of trapthlon. If you let at a bicycle, just

652
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,760
Speaker 1: take a bike. You got you get brakes, you got tires,

653
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: you got rims, you got seats. Just give all the too,

654
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:23,919
Speaker 1: the components. Everybody's not gonna go to college. But here's

655
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 1: the beauty of it. I have talked to people and

656
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 1: they said, well, hey, look I'm not going to do

657
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: this trapp one thing because you know that's something black

658
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: people do. You roll. First of all, when I was

659
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: doing Trathlons, I was probably one of very few African

660
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: Americans going there. And then to the six six three

661
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: the pounds from the former mainstream sport is football. You're

662
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: definitely a unique piece doing it all by yourself that

663
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't mate. You don't even see the bike seat

664
00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: no more. You know, you don't tell you down to

665
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: the thing about I watched triathletes. I want that's that's

666
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: one of my favorite sports because you know, you get

667
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: out the water, you see a little number writing on

668
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: your leg and on your shoulder. That's how they identify you.

669
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: And then you hop on that bike and you rolling.

670
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 1: After that, they move move a little goggles from your eye,

671
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: you know, you know, because you put them goggles in

672
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: your eyes won't be read, you won't be messed up

673
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: without saltwater. Drop them all and then you weren't gonna

674
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: see the crazy part about it. People don't realize that

675
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 1: saltwater drives out and there's salt just you wouldn't want

676
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: to get dry. That saltwater drives you out. So you

677
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: have to deal with that adversity when you're peddling that

678
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 1: bike as well. Yeah, man, that's some things you can

679
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: do to help that a little bit. But we're talking

680
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 1: about that online. So let's get TV here. The number

681
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:44,839
Speaker 1: of the number of minorities participating in the trial as

682
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 1: a triathlete, and the triathlete events are very few as

683
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 1: we know, right so also so so already walking value already,

684
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: So here's a really good fun once you understand the sport.

685
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,240
Speaker 1: As you're racing, your left side your most valuable side.

686
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: So when I was racing, I didn't have to walk

687
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: to generate revenue because you are unique. So you gotta

688
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: figure out what your own dollar value is. But you

689
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: have you have, you have the less out of your

690
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: biking short so you can put a sponsor, get the

691
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: less out of your bike, the less out of your body. Uh,

692
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: as you do interviews. You know, you got a quarter

693
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,799
Speaker 1: page to half page a full page. You know, it's

694
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: easier for a sponsor to pay your money that they're

695
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: going to try and take a full page out of

696
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: Sports Illustrated. Sports Illustrated sous some a hundred thousand dollars.

697
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: But you may cause them do the math. It ain't complicated,

698
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,240
Speaker 1: right and as sow the fact that there's more intimate

699
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 1: and also the fact that you are capturing the moment,

700
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: you're captured in the moment or the moment of the

701
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 1: action and it's being applied that way. So are you

702
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 1: still involved as as as a as a participant? Are

703
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 1: are you just what are you doing with with that

704
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 1: sport now? Sir? Well, this Wanter Trackler, I'm still involved

705
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: that participant. I'm trying to spread my trying and I

706
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,439
Speaker 1: am spreading a word with it for more kids in youth,

707
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: but not necessarily just as a sport, but also the

708
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 1: former stem because they can lead into that whole particular

709
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 1: area because of the technology involved in sport, you know,

710
00:38:09,600 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: still is a very vital piece of it. So it's

711
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: a great way to get kids interested in school and

712
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: going to school and they're also helping kids sign their

713
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 1: own purpose in the wrong way. We'll see that. The

714
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: reason I really I think I gotta I get a

715
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: lot of former football players are current football players on

716
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,080
Speaker 1: this show because I want to always say there is

717
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 1: intelligence underneath that helmet, because there's such a physical force

718
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 1: sport that people think that they're just brutes. For football

719
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 1: players just brutes and it's just out there to collide

720
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: and hurt each other. But also you, I wanted to

721
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: bring up the iron man triathlete part of you. But

722
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,280
Speaker 1: also you operate a bed and breakfast in Virginia outside

723
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 1: of DC called Darren Haley Bedding Breakfast. Tell us about that. Man,

724
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 1: See a lot of people don't know you got that

725
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: going on to now you we have me talking with

726
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:53,200
Speaker 1: what you called about. But I want to get this.

727
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: I got two breaks with your dad. I can do

728
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 1: with this money made conversation. I gotta talked about money

729
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: before I start talking about chance. Yeah, well, you know

730
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: the bed and breakfast. It came up because one, I

731
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: really do thoroughly enjoy people. But you know, you also

732
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: got to figure out, you know, living close to watch

733
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: it in d C is one. It's close to botmore.

734
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 1: We get the Ravens and the Redskins. People like sports

735
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 1: and people like in uh, my bed and breakfasts album

736
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: there near the ship and do a national park. So

737
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,600
Speaker 1: therefore hiking, biking and whatnot that like ben on doors.

738
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,479
Speaker 1: So my bed and breakfast is on in that area,

739
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: which it gives me a cross sectional of all the people,

740
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: all colors, all races, all religions. I think one thing

741
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 1: we have to understand is that you cannot look at

742
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 1: making money by done with one particular culture. Okay, you

743
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: show the bed and breakfast is a lot of fun

744
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: and the three things we do fun, fitness and romance.

745
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,359
Speaker 1: That's what we do. But here's what it gets fun.

Speaker 1: you a little short background on the show. What I'm

864
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 1: trying to do is, um, this is it's more like

865
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 1: I'm mentoring listeners and viewers on the show about listening

866
00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:09,320

868
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,480

Speaker 1: the motivation, the ups and downs that you have in life.

870
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 1: And also it's important to balance life. That I really

871
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,439
Speaker 1: want to always emphasize that some things I failed in Eddie,

872
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: is that you know, I was just I was just

873
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: on that little rat wheel, you know, and they didn't

874
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 1: want to jump off because I feared I might miss

875
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,720
Speaker 1: an opportunity though I feared I might lose the games

876
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 1: that I was making. Now I look at your life,

877
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,480
Speaker 1: my man, and you know you were we were a

878
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,840
Speaker 1: fearless football player. And and sometimes I've heard the announcer

879
00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:48,240
Speaker 1: say you're a man's man on the field, you know, physically,

880
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: just because you know you took a hit and you

881
00:46:50,280 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: came back from that. So but you also had a

882
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: foresight to say, I'm gonna have a balanced life. Talk

883
00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: to us about that. And as we start this interview,

884
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: the balanced life, well, yeah, balanced life man, for me

885
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:09,320
Speaker 1: was being unbalanced at first, figure out yourselves unbalanced, to

886
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:12,920
Speaker 1: get balanced, and uh, a lot of things will put

887
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: you in check, to um, to put you in balance,

888
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,080
Speaker 1: to make you aware of where you're out of sync.

889
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 1: For me, it was someone in my my my personal

890
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: life with my family, because sometimes you know when you're

891
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: pursuing a goal and get so caught up into that

892
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: specific goal and becomes almost like your idol. That's the

893
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 1: only thing you could see think about about it, and

894
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: that's fine, but there are other things that get um

895
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:46,080
Speaker 1: get pushed to the side or ignored in the process

896
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 1: of that. Sometimes as your family, your life it's UM

897
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,399
Speaker 1: the other other things that you love to do, it's

898
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: UM uh your your your spiritual life, and he kind

899
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 1: of you get lost in it, so you almost have

900
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,080
Speaker 1: to I've had to really peel back to the onion

901
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 1: and say, okay, UM, one of the things that I

902
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,879
Speaker 1: could do more efficiently, effectively and still enjoy my life.

903
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,839
Speaker 1: You know. Unfortunately, you know, the last four or five years,

904
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: I've had to go to several funerals for loved ones

905
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: uh some teammates that were my age or younger, UM,

906
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: for family members, and it really really puts in perspectivele

907
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:29,279
Speaker 1: what's important Like this, you look at the eulogy, you

908
00:48:29,320 --> 00:48:32,440
Speaker 1: look at the things they've accomplished, and that's stop. What's important.

909
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 1: It's really how you impacted others, what you've been able

910
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: to do to help someone else out, how you've been

911
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 1: able to passion with torch type, be able to inspire

912
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: other people, spending time with your family. Those are the

913
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: things that are really important in my life. So that's

914
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,600

Speaker 1: do everything by myself, and nor do I want to.

950
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 1: And the things that I appreciate now are the simple

951
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 1: things and life. And that's just getting a great health

952
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 1: report from the doctors or freaking up and I can see, hear,

953
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: touch it, feel I can I can get out of

954
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: my bed and walk comfortably to the bathroom. That things

955
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 1: are really are really a blessing in life. When you

956
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 1: look at, um, what's going on in this world? And

957
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 1: when we say that reference that we have the reference

958
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:20,839
Speaker 1: c TE, you know which is which is really came

959
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: to the forefront by the media, and the NFL has

960
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: had to say there isn't there is a problem with that.

961
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 1: So when you look at that, and you look at

962
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:29,840
Speaker 1: the way you play, and you look at some of

963
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 1: your teammates, what are your what is your response when

964
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: I say something about C t E UM Really, honestly, UM,

965
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 1: I don't have a response. I don't worry about c

966
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: t UM. It's still something that's still mean. UM you

967
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 1: looked at in terms of research, UM, I recommend and

968
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: I encourage guys to go and get tested and to

969
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,720
Speaker 1: figure out where they are today. UM. I just recently

970
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: got UM M R I and my brain is see

971
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: why I'm at It looks like it's perfectly good health.

972
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: But five six years from now, who knows what that

973
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,000
Speaker 1: could be. So there's still that still needs to be

974
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: more research to be done with CT in the game

975
00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: of football, because UH, statistically soccer is you get more

976
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: successive soccer than you do a football and they have

977
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: no I don't see right, I don't see anyone talking

978
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: about CT and net sport, or CT in boxing or

979
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 1: CT in hockey. It's all relegated towards football and UH

980
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: and that's the number one sport in the country, in

981
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 1: the world really in terms of billions of dollars. So

982
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's a whole trick to it. You know,

983
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,080
Speaker 1: That's the way I look at it. And I'm not

984
00:52:39,160 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: going to live my life based off of fear of

985
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: what may come away. They're not come. I'm listen, I'm

986
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,560
Speaker 1: gonna leave this. Everybody. Somebody want to take you out

987
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,640
Speaker 1: of here? There you go, There you go. You know,

988
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 1: I love I love you. I love your energy because

989
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:53,880
Speaker 1: because I have that energy. And so because of the

990
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 1: fact that I know, I would tell people, you know,

991
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: when I hit fifty, I say I'm on the downside diet,

992
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, saying you're good because you know, when you're

993
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,040
Speaker 1: twenty you can look for But I guess what, I'm

994
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: not mad at that because I'm gonna live my life

995
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: every day and I'm cool with that. But but but

996
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 1: but when I look at what you're doing now, the

997
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: transitional things that you've done in fifteen years. So I'm

998
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: an entertainment so I like an athlete, I get spirits

999
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,320
Speaker 1: of big money. And sometimes that money can stop or

1000
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 1: keep going, can stop suddenly, you know, and that's important

1001
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: and so so when you look at you know, you

1002
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: have the upcoming draft coming up, these players coming in

1003
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 1: and they got these big salaries. Are you able to

1004
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: talk to these players or you just or or how

1005
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: does that work? Do you are? Are you able to

1006
00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 1: create a relationship with incoming players? Are just players who

1007
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: are already in the league. We can. I mean obviously

1008
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 1: you know you work with players, um that had money.

1009
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: So it's it's brookies, it's best. It's just you know,

1010
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,919
Speaker 1: guys that have played the game before, before, during and after.

1011
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:57,919
Speaker 1: So um, you know, we we have a few guys

1012
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 1: that we looked at in the past, rookie that have

1013
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: come out and try to build relationship with and to

1014
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 1: see it is a vibe there. Um. There are several

1015
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: financial firms, There are several um financial institutions and all

1016
00:54:12,280 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: for the safe services we do. And it is really

1017
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: about finding the right fit because I try to find

1018
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,399
Speaker 1: I have a rifle approach and I try to find

1019
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: the right guy that works well with us. Not am

1020
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: I trying to get everybody. I'm trying to find the

1021
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: right kid and get it that's understand that understands it

1022
00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: and in it for the long haul. And it's not

1023
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:38,760
Speaker 1: just about the financial services, about really a lifestyle services,

1024
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 1: you know, in terms of you know, making the right

1025
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 1: lifestyle choices to preserve your wealth, because that's what this is.

1026
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:51,800
Speaker 1: Managing your cost and controlling your impulses and seeing it

1027
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: for the next twenty thirty forty years well after you're playing,

1028
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 1: and try to build recurring revenue streams for yourself after

1029
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,600
Speaker 1: your play. So that's where I'm more focused on. And

1030
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: if we get to a lot of at a young age, great,

1031
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: we'll get them in the middle of their career. Great.

1032
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: And we had clients that we were with at the

1033
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 1: end of their careers and it's been this sort of

1034
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 1: wonderful deal. So it gives me an opportunity to meet

1035
00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: people from all across the board, from different backgrounds, different businesses. Um,

1036
00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 1: they're not necessarily our athletes. You're not just dealing with

1037
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 1: athletes only. So let's make sure that's understood. Yeah, there

1038
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: has to be very clear about that. I'm building my

1039
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 1: business on athletes because that's you know, from my own perspective,

1040
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: that's a violence for business. So I have to create

1041
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 1: different relationships that that brings stability to my own life,

1042
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 1: to my own business life, that I can continue to

1043
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,960
