90
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 3: done is an online banking. Yeah, a Black and Latin

91
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: X owned I believe bank. Right, it's a banking platform, right,

92
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: or a fintech bank and neo bank. Our kids do

93
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 3: everything from their phone, literally do everything. Thirteen year old

94
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: and everything from her phone. So banking is going As

95
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: you see more bricking, more diclosures, As you see banking

96
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 3: expanding in the text space, banking is going to end

97
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: up in your hand, in your phone. Andrew Young, who's

98
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 3: a former ambassador, former lieutenant to Doctor King, former mayor

99
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 3: of Atlanta, travels one hundred and fifty two countries. I

100
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: think he's an ambassador, so he ambassats all over the world.

101
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 2: You came to stigure out my church man, come off.

102
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 3: But he's been my friend and mentor since fifteen years

103
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 3: old and actually is a part of me growing me

104
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: as an organizer. Andy doesn't do things for financially motivated reasons,

105
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 3: yet they end up helping the greater community financially. So

106
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: one example is as mayor of Atlanta, he was responsible

107
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 3: for making Atlanta international city by bringing the Olympics here

108
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 3: and bringing the Olympics. He didn't bring a bunch of

109
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 3: people to just ran, swim and jump that spoke different languages.

110
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 3: Companies come also, right, you got Atlanta in Georgia is

111
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: the third most fortune five hundred companies of any state

112
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 3: in the Union. So that's what him making the city

113
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 3: and international city helped to do, help to bring just

114
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 3: with the Olympics, I think nine billion dollars into the city,

115
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: forty one percent with the blackened minority contracts. The only

116
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 3: condition was he couldn't personally make any money, but he

117
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: made sure that people from the community made money. And

118
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,799
Speaker 3: then after that another eleven twelve billion poured in. Blacks

119
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 3: walked away at one point something billion of that, which

120
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 3: ain't bad, you know what I mean, It ain't bad.

121
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 3: It's you know, ideally we want to get to the

122
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 3: ass and betters, but it ain't bad.

123
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: Start.

124
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: So as Andy does stuff, he does stuff that helps

125
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: the greater community, and the greater community is better for us.

126
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: Right.

127
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 3: So Atlanta is a lot years ahead. It's a beacon

128
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: in the South, it's an international city with all this

129
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 3: proclivities and on all this is it's set back. It's

130
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 3: still is far more progressive than anyone would have ever thought.

131
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 3: Fifty years as all right, he goes to India, he

132
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 3: sees where people being paid in payper currency, same thing

133
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: that's happening in depressed areas here. They're being robbed and

134
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 3: looted by check cashing places essentially. So you're already on

135
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 3: the friends. You make two hundred bucks a week. Technically

136
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 3: you want to be able to save ten to twenty

137
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 3: percent of what you're making, right, So it's very hard

138
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 3: to save twenty or forty bucks when you're making two

139
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 3: hundred bucks a week.

140
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: But some people have been dedicated, like our grandparents, enough

141
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: to do.

142
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: It, to put aside that twenty and let that twenty

143
00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: get to one hundred, and put that aside and make

144
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 3: sure you got stuff like a basic life insurance twenty dollars.

145
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 2: On the side.

146
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 3: You've got enough to bear your money. Check cashing place

147
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: in liquor stores. Cut that out of the poorest, the

148
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 3: ability to spend the same to do anything, and that's

149
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: a detriment, and it helped keep you at that bottom.

150
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 3: Cast Landy saw a digitized system come there and greatly

151
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 3: help people. So that was his part in understanding what

152
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 3: Greenwood as a banking platform could do, or what's Greenwood

153
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 3: there's a guy named Paul Judge here out of the

154
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: tech world that's a brilliant.

155
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: A bust of bread.

156
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: And then there's Ryan Glover who built Noontime Records, who

157
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 3: built Bounced TV, and who's a founding member of Greenwood.

158
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: And they thought that this model of model's life is

159
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 3: as we go more digital. Sixty five percent of banking

160
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 3: is done, problem of your hand. Poor people need relief

161
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: from being young predatory companies. All of this can meet

162
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 3: and make sense and be a for profit thing, and

163
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: Greenwood is born.

164
00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 2: Why is it named Greenwood?

165
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: Greenwoods name green which for the town in Tulsa, Oklahoma

166
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 3: that was burned in a race, wise burned to the ash,

167
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: burned to the ground. And I would argue, and not

168
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: only destroying that town in which a community turned a

169
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: dollar thirty six times, so it was strong in terms

170
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 3: of schools, doctors, Dennis stores.

171
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: It was strong. It was like having an ecosystem in

172
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: a jar in the kitchen.

173
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: Even if your kitchen set on fire until that smoke

174
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 3: getting in there, that ecosystem is still parking right in

175
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 3: burning down that town. I would argue that the poor

176
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,560
Speaker 3: whites that did that destroy not only that town, this economy,

177
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: but the greater economy around it, which is why you

178
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,599
Speaker 3: ain't seeing a basketball team pop up in Tulsa to

179
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 3: a few years ago.

180
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: There was no need. It was no, it wasn't. It wasn't.

181
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 3: It wasn't a place where harmony could happen. So in

182
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 3: Atlanta nineteen oh six or so, you get a rioted

183
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 3: not far from here that way and on that side

184
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 3: of town. Black people were killed after that. Atlanta, which

185
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 3: is also the home of the Atlanta Conference. With w

186
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 3: do boys book into Washington. They're like, look, we're here.

187
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: We're not going anywhere. We're right over here in the

188
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 3: fourth Ward. We either gonna go to Ward with these

189
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 3: white folks and we're gonna destroy the city and we're

190
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 3: gonna become every typical southern city and it's going to

191
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 3: be ashes again like Sherman left it when he was

192
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 3: on his march to the beach in Savannah, or we're

193
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 3: gonna figure out how to let business and.

194
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: Commerce trump bullshit.

195
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 3: So quietly and agreement was made where black people and

196
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 3: business owners took this side of downtown and we're right now,

197
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 3: we're in the historic Auburn and Edgewood Avenue Auburn and

198
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 3: Edgewood Avenue are also work will always be to some degree,

199
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 3: Black Wall Street. The Atlanta Life Insurance Company was there,

200
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 3: started by Alonzo Herndon Evan's a Baptist church. The SCLC

201
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 3: headquarters with their office is Virguley, Black Business. It's always

202
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 3: been here. So Greenwood as a banking platform is in

203
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: the spirit of that, initially in terms of making sure

204
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 3: we serve worker class, poor communities, making sure we serve

205
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 3: the unbanked, making sure we serve black people and the

206
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: Latino X crowd. But it is not only for us.

207
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: Anyone is welcome to bring their green there and anyone

208
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 3: is well to know we're going to be stable with

209
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 3: the wood, you know. So just like Atlanta had to

210
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 3: realize as a city, it made more sense to cooperate

211
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: and make business sense, not to war in the middle

212
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 3: of the streets. Ess as a bank, understand that I'm

213
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 3: not trying to tell anybody can't bank for us, who

214
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: want everybody to bank with us, But we also want

215
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 3: to be a place that grows into a lender in

216
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 3: terms of car loans and home loans because many times

217
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: the first generational wealth that anybody looks like us will

218
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: have is be a home or something that someone left

219
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: to us, right, and then they want to grow into

220
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 3: growing given capital to businesses. But forty one percent business

221
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 3: culture I think aka and who was putting up in

222
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 3: terms of like.

223
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 2: Businesses since Corona.

224
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, if it wasn't for my out of pocket what

225
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 3: we have been able to survive when we open back up.

226
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 3: We're not charging barbers, you know, booth wind and the

227
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 3: initial things of that nature. So I have to think about,

228
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 3: you know, what's best for that. So I think that

229
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 3: I think that Greenwood is going to be not only

230
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 3: one of the best banking platforms, but it's going to

231
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 3: grow into a strong financial force that turns into a

232
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 3: lender not only homes and I don't know, but a

233
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 3: small businesses, medium sized businesses, and businesses by creatives that

234
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: grow bigger market.

235
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 4: So I mean, obviously you're an Atlanta historian, Like you said,

236
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 4: you've been as an active activist for over thirty years.

237
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, thirty years of my life. That's a long time.

238
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 4: That's a long time, right, So I'm trying to think

239
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,599
Speaker 4: is this something during that process or is just a

240
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 4: culminate event of situations that motivated for Greenwood to start

241
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 4: right now, like, well, was there motivating factors or it

242
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:27,719
Speaker 4: was just like.

243
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know what motivated Ryan. I think that

244
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: what motivated Andy was going to seeing it work right,

245
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: but few more people. For me, it made It's made

246
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 3: sense for me for ten years. I've been talking about

247
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 3: it actively for six years. And they were the first

248
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,840
Speaker 3: bank or banking platform to say, let's bring Mike into

249
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: the business code. You know, there's plenty of banks had

250
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 3: the opportunity, and I still shout out all the black banks, right,

251
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 3: but no one else, you know, said well, let's get

252
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 3: into the business with them. And I think Ryan, you know,

253
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 3: I think, you know, six years ago, I still saw

254
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: me as me like if I was a talent scouted

255
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 3: out of it, like ut, you know what I'm saying.

256
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 3: But the fact that they then doesn't bother me as

257
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 3: much as I'm encouraged by the fact that Ryan did.

258
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 3: Because Ryan understands that Michael Render is a kid in

259
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: a room who plays the character killer Mike. But Michael

260
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 3: Render is married to one of the best business minds

261
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 3: in this state of the nation.

262
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 2: She's a friend of aka another, she's my.

263
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: Wife, Shay, And you know, like proverbs and I'm not

264
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 3: I'm not a Christian, but Proverbs thirty one ten through

265
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 3: thirty one talks.

266
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 2: About having the right type of wife.

267
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 3: So you know, the business partner and life partner that

268
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 3: I have helps me understand.

269
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: That the capital I go get, we can do something

270
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:38,199
Speaker 2: with it.

271
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 3: We can bury, and we can put it places where

272
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 3: compounds will grows. So you know, for me, in terms

273
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 3: of Michael Render, I understand that that when Ryan invited me,

274
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: that's bigger than whoever didn't invite me, because he sees

275
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 3: what I see in the mirror, and that's someone with

276
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 3: the potential to grow into a businessman. So Michael Santiago, Yeah,

277
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 3: my dad just look my dad, man. My dad.

278
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: Shouts out, But Michael, liek my dad.

279
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: I'm all like, I ain't name of my goddamn young

280
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 3: not even Michael Sago. My wife said. My wife said,

281
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: I'm so glad, dady. Kids shout out, shout, shout out

282
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: to Norry Victor Santiago.

283
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 2: That's one of my fast shots out.

284
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 3: So so people don't realize, I'm just some research and

285
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 3: seventeen percent of black people are unbanked. You're paying to

286
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 3: three percent, So if you think about it, that's a

287
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: three percent of whites.

288
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 2: That's a lot. And then I will never forget.

289
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: So people have heard of food deserts, yes, and so

290
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 3: I used to go to school in Baltimore. I did

291
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 3: a research study on food deserts, and it's like, you know,

292
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 3: we're for people that don't know. They don't every neighborhood

293
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 3: doesn't have like a grocery store exactly, So people go

294
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 3: grocery shopping and like gas stations and corner stores, and

295
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: not only is the food bad, but the prices are

296
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: much higher too.

297
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 2: So it's it's it's.

298
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 3: Enough process exactly exactly, so at least a high blood pressure,

299
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 3: cholester all that stuff. So I never heard of banking

300
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 3: deserts until like a couple months ago we did an episode.

301
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was talking about banking deserts.

302
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 3: So it's like there's different pockets in different areas where

303
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 3: there's there's no bank, and then there's check cashing places.

304
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: And then I never forget. Somebody told us because when

305
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 3: we grew up, we had a check cashing place.

306
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

307
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: My first job as I worked at a summer camp,

308
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 3: and everybody used to go to the check cashing page

309
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 3: because you get it quick. Yeah, but they charged like

310
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 3: three dollars, two dollars, you're not what you thinking about it,

311
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: but that adds up. It's like why are you paying it?

312
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: And it's like you never see a check cashing pigs

313
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:35,120
Speaker 3: in the middle class or.

314
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 2: A wealthy neighborhood. It's either working class or poor neighborhoods.

315
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 4: Because the crazy part is that not to get you off,

316
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 4: but the crazy part is that had we known that

317
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 4: the bank right across the street wrote the check, we

318
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 4: could have gotten the same day.

319
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 3: Sad thing, the actually was a bank in our neighborhood

320
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 3: and we were just so conditioned. And not only was

321
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: the check cashing place right next to the Chinese spot

322
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: that shirt fried chickens. I always wondered how that worked.

323
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: So it's like it was it was a weird dynamic.

324
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:04,680
Speaker 3: But I say that to say this online thinking, I

325
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: think is is really the way because even in Kenya,

326
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: I saw they had a lot of people can't get

327
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: the things because it's so rural. But they changed the

328
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 3: whole dynamic by having like just basic cell phones where

329
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 3: they can bank on itself. So you knew it was real.

330
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: When I seen the dance and get paid in the

331
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 3: Blue Flag be it cel phone like no cap no

332
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: like Brown zero is the barbershop and the booty clubs.

333
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: When when I saw said Blue Flame, the Blue Flight,

334
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 3: we ain't going to night after, I'm not staying long.

335
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: Would do my mask.

336
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 5: We're about to have seen that place before. It's a

337
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 5: black business. That's shout to Wall Street, Traffler Street travel

338
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 5: flying Now.

339
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 4: We actually pulled up to it and as soon as

340
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 4: we got there, somebody did a black flip into the wall.

341
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: We were like, you.

342
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: Gotta go in, you gotta you gotta interview the owner.

343
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 2: Man, he's a great for sure.

344
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 3: So yeah, so you so you felt so you you

345
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 3: had that idea in Blue Flame, like this is this

346
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 3: is what I knew?

347
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 2: What was it? I knew son was happening. You know.

348
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 3: It's like being in a gambling house and you and

349
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: you start hearing rumblers. You're like, oh, son happened?

350
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: You know?

351
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 3: Excuse me for like something I learned business, you know

352
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: in the eighties and nineties. And how did the black

353
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: kid learn it in the eighties and nineties running errands

354
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,200

355
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: to big crack cocaine?

356
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 4: You know what?

357
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: So I learned business on the most mudimentary level. You can't.

358
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 3: But it's like when you're in the gamon house you

359
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 3: start hearing a little noise, little you just start looking

360
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: around like something happening, somebody winning on, somebody losing that.

361
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: But when I seen the phone light up the dancing,

362
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: he turned the floor. What the fun is he doing?

365
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,440

00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 2: that's a niggas. He ain't get no money. You know

367
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:51,080

00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: me by cash out, and I was like, cash.

369
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 3: The fuck is cast? Your wife knows. My wife doesn't

370
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 3: let anybody teach me about technology. She says, if my

371
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 3: husband needs to know something, I teach him right so

372
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: south South the little se smile and she stops smiling

373
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 3: from teaching anything. But that's when I if it's in

374
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: the clubs already. Man. My barber started doing it, and

375
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 3: my sister who's a hairstyle started doing it, and then

376
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 3: my sister who's an accountant, start telling me that they're

377
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: pain and receiving all digital that that their paper. She

378
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 3: used to work in paper checks, but those things coming

379
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 3: out to them saying Okay, I see what's coming. So

380
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 3: when Ryan calls me with the idea, of course, I'm

381
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 3: I'm a receptive and open because that's what's next. Fintech

382
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 3: is a huge financial technology. I feel like tech in

383
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 3: every area will take over. So like Tesla is not

384
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 3: a car company, it's a tech company.

385
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. So a lot of these brick and.

386
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,439
Speaker 3: Mortar banks are on their last leg because they're not

387
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: making a transition. Yeah, well a lot of them are

388
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 3: are don't want to have legs a certain community, Like

389
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: you're never not going to see a Chase Bank in

390
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 3: a rich neighborhood or in the studio district where a

391
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 3: lot of us are private banking wanted how many So

392
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 3: there's gonna keep you know, Shad's gonna still be able

393
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 3: to pull up two hundred fifty thousandars Canstraer, but she's

394
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 3: not gonna be able to do it on Marketer King.

395
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 2: That's not gonna happen.

396
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 3: The one that Greenbrier may not last, but the one

397
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 3: on our meal it'll be there. And we have to

398
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 3: as a as a community that has foods and banking deserts.

399
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 2: We have to start to prepare for that.

400
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 3: And education and technology can keep you I'm in a

401
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 3: state of equity and having some ownership, and it can

402
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 3: keep you in a place of having some equality where

403
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 3: you stand a fair shot.

404
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 2: It ain't fair, but just just let me get a

405
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 2: fair shot, you know what I mean? I think.

406
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 4: And we just finished this book in our book club,

407
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 4: The Color of Money. It tells the history of black

408
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,639
Speaker 4: pay Yeah, yeah, nothink. One of the biggest things they

409
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,199
Speaker 4: talked about me, I know, I know, as try as

410
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 4: you out too, I was like, I said, yell, earnist,

411
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 4: we might get them. But one of the things that

412
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 4: they talk about is the history of our relationship with money.

413
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 4: And once we learn our history, then we can understand

414
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 4: how to use it, how to value it, and how

415
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 4: to use it to our advantage.

416
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah. But one of the things that we lack is trust.

417
00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah.

418
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,200
Speaker 4: And so as you take on this endeavor, I want

419
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 4: to know your thoughts. So, like, how do we get

420
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 4: the trust from the people? Yeah, what you do a

421
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 4: good job, and you do this best you can.

422
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 3: If I've always told people to first of all, I said,

423
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 3: I didn't sign up for this leadership ship. I got

424
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 3: in this to wrap smoke weed and hang out at

425
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 3: the front, right. But you, destiny faked the universe or

426
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 3: the creator that has crafted has you put you on

427
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 3: the path. I didn't meet aka nundrum by chance. I

428
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 3: didn't happen until you guys, by chance. It's my cup

429
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 3: is empty. I'm supposed to be learning so I can

430
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 3: pour into others, you know what I mean? So it

431
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 3: matters of me. I always tell people I'm going to

432
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: do my very best, and if I fuck up, I'm

433
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: gonna apologize and allow me to get back because I

434
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 3: don't like playing with people. I could have sat with

435
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 3: other institutions and said, this is a deal. I want

436
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 3: give me this. I'm going to get you these many cars.

437
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 3: You can give me this percentage off the cars. That's

438
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 3: not what I did. I waited to something that I

439
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 3: actually felt like was helpful to the community that produced

440
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 3: me came along, and when it came along, the opportunity

441
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 3: presented itself. I said, this is something that makes sense,

442
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,240
Speaker 3: this is something I'm willing to be a part of.

443
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 3: This is something I wish to have, And even once

444
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 3: about group of economics because I feel like I remember

445
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,680
Speaker 3: you a few years ago. I forgot what the triggering

446
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 3: event was, but you took a bunch of raptors in

447
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 3: Atlanta to like back to open up black.

448
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 2: It was Michael Brownson, Yeah, Okay, that's what it was.

449
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 3: Okay, And then I remember they did it in Houston

450
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 3: and it was a thing, and I remember that's how

451
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 3: the play and you were saying, like, even if you

452
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: if you're a black entrepreneur or you're black profession whatever,

453
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 3: but if you're putting money in a white bank, it's

454
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 3: still in a sense kind of the feasts the purpose

455
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 3: in a way. So well, I'm not that pessimistic. Okay, no, no, no,

456
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 3: that's not I'm not one of those either ors. Right,

457
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 3: I'm from Atlanta. So people had to learn how to

458
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 3: cooperate here.

459
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 2: You know.

460
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 3: William Hartsfield, who was an Atlanta mayor, was basically laughed

461
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 3: and ran out of town because he gave Delta like

462
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 3: a fifty one hundred year least and like a dollar

463
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,679
Speaker 3: five dollars a year. But yet Delta became one of

464
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: the biggest employers of Atlanta and brought huge commerce and

465
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 3: made us help make us an international city.

466
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 2: Having an International, one of the world's busiest airport.

467
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 3: And yeah, he had the foresight though to see it,

468
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: you know, just like Maynard had the foresight.

469
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 2: So you know, with me, it's like.

470
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 3: You gotta have foresight, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta

471
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 3: be willing to take the risk that you know is

472
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 3: secure or or sure you feel or you know, and

473
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 3: you can fail. But like in that so in the Netflix,

474
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 3: in the Netflix series that you had when you went

475
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 3: like I think it was seven days, like you just

476
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 3: try to just only spend with black businesses, and he's like,

477
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: even if you it's like everything has to be you

478
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 3: gotta learn to cooperate.

479
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 2: You know, war is one without allies. I'm sorry, got

480
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 2: our point.

481
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 3: But the point that I'm trying to make is that

482
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 3: the federal government at one point, instead of making the

483
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 3: big banks to fair business in terms of redline and

484
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 3: stuff with black people, said no, we'll, we'll we'll just

485
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 3: support the black banks. And they never came through on

486
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 3: their problems, right, and they still want us to come vote,

487
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 3: but they never came through their promims. We should be

488
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: forced to have the federal government to do that, and

489
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: at the same time, we should be cooperating with larger

490
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 3: ain't the constitutions, many of which whose banks were built

491
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 3: directly off the banks and its slave that right when

492
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 3: you look at stocks and buns, a lot of that

493
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 3: is you weren't start in the bun. You weren't the property,

494
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 3: yet that's what you were. So my thing is again,

495
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 3: I learned selling drugs me and you could be at

496
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 3: war a year ago.

497
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 2: And year lady, the prices is right, and she I

498
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 2: don't want to kill you no more. I got a

499
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 2: hundred bands, you got a hundred bands. We got a

500
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 2: two hundred and fift thousd dollars deal.

501
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 3: My buddy got twenty by your buddy got twenty five.

502
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 3: So at a certain point, it's not that the pain

503
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 3: isn't there, it's not that the tragedy isn't there. At

504
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 3: what point do we have to start understanding that to

505
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 3: win a war? I must Ally, the United States and

506
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 3: Russia have never liked each other, just two radically different

507
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,639
Speaker 3: concepts on how to treat people, how to different money.

508
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 3: But when Germany popped up and was Omar and everybody

509
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 3: motherfucker found a.

510
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: Way to get a little bar so show up to

511
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 2: the line.

512
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 3: So we have to we have to think with the

513
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 3: same mentality that I don't have to like a love you,

514
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 3: but in matters of strengthening me as an individual in

515
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 3: my understanding what I can do in my group, in

516
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 3: our community, I will partner or ally with you in

517
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 3: a matter of a bigger law.

518
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: Now, and that's just that's just what it is.

519
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 3: So let me let me let me ask you a question,

520
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 3: because I know not only are your entrepreneur, but you're

521
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 3: really in the politics.

522
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to be.

523
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 4: That was the second was the said wing because what

524
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 4: you just said is what you said about the president. Now,

525
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,360
Speaker 4: you like, I don't have to like him or even

526
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 4: vote for him, but if he does something that helps

527
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 4: my community, I should take advantage of that, because take av.

528
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 3: Taking advantage of everything I'm telling But that's every president. Yeah,

529
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 3: that ain't just president. Now, that's that's there has been.

530
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: No president that has been for the black community. Take that.

531
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 2: That's the fact.

532
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 3: That's that has been no president that has been for

533
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 3: the black community. But if your policy affects the black

534
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 3: community in a positive way, which can affect the greater community,

535
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 3: I have to pay you some attention. Is that suff

536
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 3: I have to pay you some of Obamas. For you,

537
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: I'm clearing what I say and how I see. There

538
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 3: has been no president that's for the black community. But

539
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 3: if that president is playing in any way or policy

540
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 3: helps the black community, I'm for that thing. You get

541
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. I rate all us presidents at about

542
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 3: the ce different variations from a C minus down into

543
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 3: the d's too. You know, when you start off as

544
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 3: slave masters and presidents, that's a really funky what I'm saying.

545
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 3: So you have to spend your life as a person

546
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 3: of color reconciling the fact that the dollars that are

547
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: in your pocket, the dead men, the slave masters that

548
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 3: are only that that that give you work and value

549
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 3: to the things you're doing, own people, and that wealth

550
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 3: is something. So you know, when we get walking, we

551
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,479
Speaker 3: get mad and we want to castigate rappers and then

552
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,239
Speaker 3: a tinners and chickens, do the right thing with your

553
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 3: money you have, Andrew Jackson, You're twenty dollars bill that

554
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 3: you're tipping the stripper with committed genocide on people that

555
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 3: were from Middle of America and that were red and

556
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 3: were here before.

557
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 2: You got here.

558
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 3: So you're passing a genocidal bill to pay for your

559
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 3: Sarah and your your need to get grinded on. And

560
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 3: you've never chastised yourself enough to say I'll only pay

561
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 3: by PayPal because I'm protested or greenwood.

562
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 2: So I'm you know what you know? Man?

563
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: In matters of money, we had better learn that we're

564
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 3: going to have to pack some emotion to the side

565
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:36,719
Speaker 3: to accomplish specific goals from a monetary standpoint, so that

566
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 3: we can take care of ourselves because no one's coming

567
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 3: to save us. Nothing's coming out of sky to save us. Karma,

568
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 3: although it's a nice concept. Evil people live longer and

569
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 3: they seem to be happier. George Bushtin died he was

570
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 3: ninety middle something. So but you were. You were supporting

571
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: Bernie senators absolutely, so you work. You have progressive I

572
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 3: guess liberal views. If voting for Bernie Sanders takes my

573
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 3: taxes up out of the forties into the fifties, just

574
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: that succeed takes care the next twenty five to thirty

575
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 3: years of Americans in terms of education, health care, trade

576
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 3: that trade and college education at basics and extensive health care,

577
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 3: and provide social programs that grow us as a country.

578
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: I have no aversion to supporting that, and.

579
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 3: In fact, I think that much of his policy has

580
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 3: been rape robbed and looted by both parties at this point,

581
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,359
Speaker 3: versus us getting behind the person who wanted to give

582
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 3: us everything we would have needed during this pandemic, including

583
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 3: some type of universal income, including some type of health

584
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 3: care that was universal leading toward it, including decriminalization of marijuana,

585
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 3: including a federal task force that would have dealt with

586
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: roth police, including all these things that would have affected us.

587
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: But because we didn't do it, because we didn't go that,

588
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:02,159
Speaker 3: but because we got robbed of it or whatever. The

589
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 3: theory is being, you gotta you know, you got to

590
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 3: give what you got, and you better master your coin,

591
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 3: you know, because we're we're in a system where as

592
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 3: much as they want to say they care like Barnie,

593
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 3: they don't. And if you're if you're not going to

594
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 3: allow me to pay my ten or fifteen extra to

595
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 3: let someone like him leave the way, don't get mad.

596
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna try to keep an extra ten or

597
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 3: fifteen percent and figure out who the fuck Trump's taxloy

598
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 3: is so I can be them on the West side,

599
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:31,680
Speaker 3: you know, But I did you know, I didn't I didn't.

600
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 2: Vote for the evil persons, whoever that may be. I

601
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 2: want to go back to it. I want to go

602
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 2: back to Greenwood for a.

603
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 4: Sec because a lot of times, and even in the book,

604
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 4: it dives into the fact of black bangs being.

605
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: Put in neighborhoods right where.

606
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 4: Deposits weren't coming in at a frequent rate, and so

607
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 4: they had to charge higher interest rates when they weren't

608
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 4: loaning got money because most people don't really understand how.

609
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,360
Speaker 2: Banks make money. The lows right.

610
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,639
Speaker 4: So my thing is like, is Greenwood is there going

611
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 4: to be similar like how other interests They're going to

612
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 4: be competing with the big thing.

613
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 3: So that's their goal first, first year versus deposits savings,

614
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 3: and so it's steps.

615
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 2: This is where we are. First.

616
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,160
Speaker 3: First, the goal is to wipe out check pashing course,

617
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 3: to wipe out the main the main parasites in poor

618
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 3: and working class people's lives. So you know, people here

619
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 3: saved twenty forty bucks. It doesn't sound like much to them,

620
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 3: but when you're talking about now you can save ten

621
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 3: percent of your income, what about when person gets to

622
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 3: raise and get five hundred your thousand, Now you're saving

623
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 3: more money. So that is the attack, and the next

624
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 3: phase is in loans and home ownership, automobile ownership, and

625
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: then the phase after that. So I like the fact

626
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 3: that Ryan is, unlike in the past, is not trying

627
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 3: to do everything himself at the same time as much

628
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 3: he's he's seeking and they're talking to allies at this

629
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 3: moment realizing who are they going to get into business

630
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: with in terms of partnering with larger institutions that are

631
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 3: cover who are the institutions that your money is actually

632
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 3: going to be sitting with, and as a platform, what

633
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 3: they can do to reduce the eve and to you

634
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: help you find more financially literally help you to say.

635
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 4: So, I'm thinking that's the first step. Eradicate the check

636
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 4: cash in push in the back of the day was

637
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 4: also the Soll phone store.

638
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's level.

639
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 4: And then then we got the posits and loans, and

640
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 4: so I guess the next last stage would be business loan,

641
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 4: small business loans.

642
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, well small man, I don't think that's the last stage.

643
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 2: I just think that. I just think that if you're

644
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 2: going to run nine.

645
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 3: Miles, plot out your first three, then plot out your

646
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 3: next three, and then your final three.

647
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 2: Right, So let's just say those are the first three miles.

648
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I saw I wrest where Ryan said, like,

649
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 3: I think fifty of black businesses, Oh, black businesses get

650
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 3: loans at fifty percent lower rate than white businesses. When

651
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 3: I think it's we're return at fifty percent lower rates.

652
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,239
Speaker 3: We're also denied in comparable applications. We're denied twenty one

653
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,840
Speaker 3: percent of the time in white's only eight. Okay, So,

654
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: and so I'm assuming that's something that you guys will

655
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 3: be trying to eradicate. As far as greens there's definitely

656
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 3: going to be. You know, Greenwood is not Superman, doesn't

657
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,040
Speaker 3: come in the same one Swade. What it is a

658
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 3: part of the adventures. It's a part of alternative ways

659
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 3: now for us to take control of our dollars. And

660
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 3: that's everything from a new black credit union that's popping up.

661
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 3: That's everything from the traditional black banks that are already

662
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,320
Speaker 3: in the market, whether it be Citizens Trust or Carver

663
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 3: or One United. And that's new platforms and ventech like Greenwood.

664
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: You know, I'm an advocate for you know, if you

665
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 3: want to if you want to get the freedom, take

666
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 3: a whole lot of buses. You know, don't depend on

667
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 3: everyone going in one bus, you know what I'm saying.

668
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 3: And he even told me and Ryan don't travel together.

669
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

670
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 3: He's just like what you guys are doing is that's

671
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 3: don't even travel together. Because if freedom is the objective,

672
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 3: there may be slightly different variations of but we'll get

673
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 3: there even if it's not at the same time. But

674
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 3: I think we need a lot of kistons firing and

675
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 3: an engine, not just one. And we have to we

676
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: have to begin to end. O will want or need

677
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 3: to critique or overly criticize based on a past failure,

678
00:30:58,840 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 3: because a failure is something you.

679
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: Learned from that. And that's the part.

680
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 4: It was like if people understood their relationship with the money,

681
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 4: they would understand. It's like if my iPhone breaks, I

682
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 4: don't say I'm never using Apple again.

683
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna get another iPhone, you know what I mean.

684
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 4: But if we like, and I bank with citizens, so

685
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 4: shout out to citizens.

686
00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 2: But if they like, if they mess up.

687
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 4: A deposit, It's not like y'all never banging with them again,

688
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 4: I'm gonnaive them the same thingway.

689
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 3: We gotta get it fixed. And again that's why I

690
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 3: tell people like one day as a leader, which I

691
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,080
Speaker 3: wasn't even in the in the.

692
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 2: Space to be.

693
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 3: But akat another those people like that black women to

694
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 3: make you leave. But you know, I want to say,

695
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 3: my bad, I fucked up. Yeah, you know, let me,

696
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 3: let me get back on the bus, figure out. And

697
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 3: there's another reason I constantly consult with people too, you

698
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: know what I mean. Even before saying yes to this,

699
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 3: I called around to black men who had ran banks.

700
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 3: I called around the people work, like, what do you

701
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 3: think of this? What's been tech helped me understand? And

702
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 3: I got, you know, at least and that I already knew,

703
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 3: you know, already trusted Andy, already trusted Ryan because I've

704
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 3: seen him do it.

705
00:31:58,520 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 2: But I just wanted to learn more.

706
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 3: I'm gonna like I found you guys, he's learning just

707
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 3: kind of bausting around.

708
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 2: You know, like right some time and the rain. Now

709
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. So what's your all right?

710
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 3: So as far as business, because you're a business owner,

711
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 3: obviously we're sitting in a business right now. So as

712
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 3: you said, Brick and mart especially Brick and Martar businesses

713
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: have been hit tremendously hard since the pandemic, especially black

714
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 3: businesses over forty percent of black businesses have completely closed.

715
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 3: So what is your opinion, because I personally think that,

716
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 3: like some of the problems in the Black community as

717
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 3: far as businesses, that we're too reliant on brick and

718
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 3: martar because that's what we know.

719
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 2: Right.

720
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 3: It's like we know sneaker stores, we know hair salons,

721
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 3: we know restaurants, we know barber shops.

722
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 2: They're all great because they're service based businesses.

723
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 3: But in times like this, it's difficult because you have overhead,

724
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 3: you have staff, you have things of that nature. So

725
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 3: now you're you're going into the financial space, but you

726
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 3: still have a brick and mortar business. You think there's

727
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 3: a balance between the two for business owners, or I

728
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: mean I think there has to be for certain businesses.

729
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 3: You know, I think that people like the Congregated Fellowship.

730
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 3: So you can only keep churches, restaurants, liquor stores, and

731
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: barbershops closed along. You know them guys are gonna hang

732
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:25,280
Speaker 3: in front of that liquor store, you know.

733
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 2: People are people are gonna come to get groomed.

734
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 3: Essential business. Essential business litus comes and you can't get

735
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 3: drunk and go front there. Realized the politicians sneaking us

736
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 3: off but we have to change methodology. And here you

737
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 3: come here now either you have a mask or we

738
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 3: have one available. Take your temperature by appointment only. We

739
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 3: have four people in the chair, can only be four

740
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 3: of the people sitting, so you know, and my staff

741
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 3: is great about that. I gotta I gotta get them.

742
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 3: They keep it clean, they keep it sanitized. Our bathrooms

743
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 3: are always That's a sticker of mine. Make sure I

744
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 3: judge businesses. Bam was like, Yo, this, this might be

745
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 3: the cleanest barbershop I've ever seen in my life.

746
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 2: Like I see mat.

747
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 3: Chula, shots out Selene, what's my new guy's name? Shots

748
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 3: out to Sam Selene? I thought Sam was cutting Celeena

749
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 3: is such a pro. He got hired as an intern

750
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 3: paid internship, you know, not a lot, but I would

751
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 3: have bought a few fair of joys. But Selene also

752
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 3: has has a talent of camera work. And he said, hey,

753
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 3: I've worked myself out of internship. I'm still going to

754
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 3: do this type of stuff for the shot, but I'm

755
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 3: going to find a comparable replacement and train him.

756
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 2: So I got to give him. Those are the.

757
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,399
Speaker 3: Type of people you want on team. And I spent

758
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 3: a lot of years floundering in Barbara because what we

759
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 3: had barbaring, because what we had was people who were

760
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 3: used to the old school way in which I cut

761
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 3: hair all.

762
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 2: Day, but I don't clean up all day.

763
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 3: It was I paid boover rent, so I feel like

764
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,919
Speaker 3: I'm an independent contractor. But you never have to worry

765
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 3: about your air being hot, You never have to worry

766
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 3: about it being called. You never or those things get

767
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 3: solved quickly, but you never think about the variation of

768
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:58,359
Speaker 3: boove rerint never changed that type stuff. So I love

769
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 3: working with people that get it, you know what I'm saying.

770
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 3: And I love working with people that take cleaning the

771
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 3: corners of a building as seriously as they take making

772
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 3: sure that the light is on outside in that register,

773
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 3: because you know, I have poured a lot into a

774
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 3: dream that really is a platform for other people to

775
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: prosper from. You know, I want to. I will not

776
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 3: have succeeded if we do not do what Chick fil

777
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 3: A did. Chick fil A took a novel concept and

778
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 3: gave the first opportunity for franchising to members of the

779
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 3: church and members of the family. They gave it to

780
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 3: people they knew it would take pride in it. So

781
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 3: Chick fil A has always been ran. It's a different

782
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,279
Speaker 3: type of pride. You know Andy Young talks about going

783
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 3: and seeing Kathy Truett walk into stores and start cooking hisself.

784
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 3: You know that that is a mission that's greater than

785
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 3: I want to make a lot of money. That has

786
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 3: added locations, that has sent kids to college because they

787
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 3: got an amazing scholarship fund. People genuinely see happy when

788
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 3: you walking Chick fil A, you're going to McDonald's saying

789
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 3: you can tell they might not be treated. So my

790
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 3: goal is too much like Chick fil A, grown ownership

791
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 3: right from behind these barber chairs and behind that desk.

792
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 3: So you know, if Selim or Sam or any intern

793
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 3: that comes through here grows to become an owner. You know,

794
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 3: shots out to mliss over with the Hawks and went

795
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 3: from getting a ball girl, I think an the NBA

796
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 3: for a bar now runs marketing for the Hawks. Those

797
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 3: are the type of stories I want my platform, and

798
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 3: that does come with making money, but that comes from

799
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 3: having a team of people that add to that in

800
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 3: that way.

801
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 4: So I think that's why what you're doing, you guys

802
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 4: are doing, it's so important because you get it right,

803
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 4: like you know what it takes to give a loan

804
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 4: or to a barbershop or here someone these businesses that typically.

805
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 2: Wouldn't get along.

806
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 4: But you said some interesting now your dreams, right, So

807
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 4: the barbershop was that's a dream? And if so, what

808
00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 4: what's the next? Because I'm thinking of my mind, Like

809
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 4: you didn't know the fintech. So this kind of just

810
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,640
Speaker 4: came along and it was a great opportunity.

811
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 2: So what are the Yeah, I.

812
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 3: Wanted to own a like I wanted I want. I

813
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:02,839
Speaker 3: knew very young.

814
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 2: I was ling very young. I was like this yard

815
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 2: work shit, this is not for the real man. What

816
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 2: are you? What are you talking? People selling drugs out here, Grandma.

817
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:19,319
Speaker 3: I seen my nigga take three hundred dollars my ground

818
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 3: game and ragget dass lawnmow. I'm going, you know, pushing

819
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 3: fucking more twenty five twenty bucks. And then old people

820
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 3: like after they see you do it quick, maybe I

821
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: shouldn't get it for nigga, this nigga twelve out scooter.

822
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 3: You know, you don't think, oh, people can't slick you,

823
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 3: but they're finesse you on the West Side.

824
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 2: But when my.

825
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 3: Mom took me the Decatur you know, my mom lived

826
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 3: in the cab. Those people didn't mind paying twenty bucks.

827
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:44,759
Speaker 3: There was a kid living next door to me didn't

828
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,879
Speaker 3: mind getting paid ten, So I would charge ours twenty five,

829
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, I'd give him ten.

830
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 2: Keep your teen is my lawnmower. I got do mainenance

831
00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 2: on this motherfucker dog.

832
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 3: And so I learned very early that figure out the

833
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 3: deal and figure out who smart. My mom had a

834
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 3: good business money, you know what I mean. She was

835
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 3: always about not working and figuring out ways to She

836
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,719
Speaker 3: was affloorished by nature as me, and she was an artist.

837
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 3: She dated very successful. She did a very successful, successful

838
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 3: drug dealer who opened up businesses as well. So she

839
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,959
Speaker 3: was just always thinking. So you know, for me, it's

840
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 3: like it's my next thing. My next thing is mastering

841
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 3: the thing that I started before I find a next thing.

842
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 3: You know, the banking made sense, but I've been peeking

843
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 3: and poking around there for the last six seven years.

844
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 3: So this came and dropped in my lap. But it

845
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 3: was too perfect not to do. And it's really a

846
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 3: matter of me just getting out and getting a message out,

847
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 3: getting the message out, let people know, hey, we're here,

848
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 3: we're here. You have an option that doesn't lead you

849
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 3: to the check cashing place after you get your summer

850
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 3: camp job. Right, that's easy enough to do it. It's

851
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 3: daunting getting up at six thirty in the morning because

852
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 3: people with money are getting up early watching TV, you

853
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. By the time nine o'clock traffic hit,

854
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 3: they already in front of they tell they've done what

855
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 3: they had to do. So that part is like, Okay,

856
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 3: this is a riz is like a real job. I

857
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 3: gotta wake up. But the brick and mortar stores that

858
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 3: we do in terms of these shops, and I call

859
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 3: them stores because what I learned really early is if

860
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 3: I'm dependent on barbers and booth rent, I'm going to fail.

861
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,279
Speaker 3: I'm going to close because people's lives is happening. You

862
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 3: don't know whose child needs what, you don't know what

863
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 3: emergencies are coming up with their parents. A lot of

864
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 3: barbers are talented people. They're making money on the quick,

865
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 3: so they, like regular artists are entertainments or tradesmen, are

866
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 3: responsible for more.

867
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 2: People than themselves, you know.

868
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 3: So I started to not understand because I still got

869
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 3: to pay my rent. But I started to see the

870
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 3: glitch in the matrix. So we are transitioning to a

871
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,480
Speaker 3: commission shop, right. So I've been talking to people like

872
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,240
Speaker 3: the owner of sports Clips. I've been talking to people

873
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 3: like who worked in Floyd's and Ruty system getting it

874
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:49,800
Speaker 3: as we sharpen our system.

875
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 2: But what kept us open and kept us prospering.

876
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 3: And went from being just a pet project that I

877
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 3: wanted to have a barbershop so I could have a

878
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 3: guy's place to hang as long as it pay for myself.

879
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,919
Speaker 3: My business partner and wife, you know, don't be paid

880
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,720
Speaker 3: for it self. She wasn't gonna get me too much trouble.

881
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 3: You know, my managers had sat out like now was

882
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 3: paying for herself. You know, you make a make a

883
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 3: grant to two after bootprint and all your bills paid.

884
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 3: So it was like cool and I was like, but

885
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 3: then I'm like, you know what, Like when I'm sending

886
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 3: in a barbershop, how oftentimes I just need a T shirt?

887
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 3: Like I just went to pick up some crack Forces

888
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 3: and I got to go to the VP. I don't

889
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 3: even want to go to the BP. I gotta go

890
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 3: to the BP. I gotta get your volved a dollar.

891
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 3: I don't even want no they T shirt quality whack.

892
00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 3: I do feel like going to DTL lot. So I

893
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 3: started saying, why we're not selling T shirt? Yeah, we

894
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:41,120
Speaker 3: started selling T shirts. And then it goes from fussing

895
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 3: and fighting with the barber about some money as they

896
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 3: don't or don't have or how short the short to

897
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 3: knowing I'm doing thousands of months in merchandise, and I

898
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 3: start to understand that not only are we a barber shop,

899
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 3: we're a cultural center and the swag shop unlike most barbers.

977
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 3: what we're in the business of doing now is making

978
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 3: sure that not only do you get a shave washing room,

979
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:09,000

Speaker 3: A getting a dry haircut is an experience. You might

981
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 3: argue about sports, but a shave washing room is the

982
00:45:14,200 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 3: only thirty minutes to an hour that the black man

983
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 3: or American working class man gets. That's just his Your wife, No,

988
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 3: you get here and you get to take a piece

989
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,360
Speaker 3: of that culture in the real world with you. And

990
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 3: what you're also about to start seeing from us is content.

991
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 3: We work with actual artists. Ian Claire as an artist,

992

993
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,560
Speaker 3: is a graphic designer we work with. So as we

994
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 3: drop stuff, you're going to see this stuff. Now leave

995
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 3: And this is you know, when we talk about scharm

996
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 3: Shaw were talking about to me, two of the most

997
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 3: influential Black men walking face of the earth. It means

998
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 3: something that you're in the shirt because this needs to

999
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,879
Speaker 3: say because on the best work determines your work, right,

1000
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 3: these men prove that work ethic determines your bod.

1001
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 2: It actually proves that. So in the real world.

1002
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 3: I want this culture to leave from behind the counter

1003
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,560
Speaker 3: and go in the real world and create positive and

1004
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 3: sustement track. You know what, this reminds me of Troy,

1005
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 3: somebody that interviewed recently.

1006
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 2: I guess I know what you're gonna say. Said, Yeah, so.

1007
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 3: Another hip hop les, especially when we come. We haven't

1008
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 3: dropped this interview yet. I'm I'm gonna let the count

1009
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 3: that's the man fucking talking about.

1010
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, the go.

1011
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 3: So it's crazy because you know he has a juice bar, Yes,

1012
00:46:38,320 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 3: I know in Yankas and we went we did the

1013
00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 3: interview in the juice bar, and he was telling us

1014
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:44,880
Speaker 3: how we actually before he got there, the staff was

1015
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 3: telling us how it changed the whole culture in the community,

1016
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 3: like people come and they look forward to getting the juice,

1017
00:46:50,920 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 3: and and it's like and then he was his white

1018
00:46:53,040 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 3: heim and his wife was telling us, Now they not

1019
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 3: only do the juices, but they got the online juice,

1020
00:46:58,239 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 3: and they got the merch, and they got the whole thing.

1021
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 3: They turned into a whole business. So it reminds me

1022
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 3: of the same thing. It's like, not only are you

1023
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 3: it's a cultural thing, like you said, it's a culture

1024
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 3: for the community, but you're integrated, vertically rested peace in this.

1025
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 4: That's what I'm going to because I'm like, yo, this

1026
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 4: is now like when we went to la we had

1027
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 4: to go to the marathon story too, right, and so

1028
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 4: it was like it becomes a cultural landmark, absolutely, and

1029
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 4: so like you I saw Nipsey out here, I'm like, yo,

1030
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 4: that's what you've created. After a cultural landmark, was like,

1031
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 4: now when you come to Atlanta, you have to come

1032
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 4: and you go to Yonkers.

1033
00:47:27,680 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 2: Yo, where's the juice bart? You know what I'm saying.

1034
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 4: And it provides not only opportunity for you, but also

1035
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 4: provides opportunity for the community. Because the next thing, it

1036
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,400
Speaker 4: was like, Yo, how do we grow because maybe this

1037
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:37,479
Speaker 4: merch sells out so fast?

1038
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 2: Now you got to get a factory.

1039
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 3: But that also was now a maybe we're in this

1040
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 3: Friday or this Friday or next Friday. I go about

1041
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 3: an hour north of here to look at screen pressing machines,

1042
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 3: as I own a garage not far from here. And

1043
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 3: you know, if you let's use around members, right, drug

1044
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 3: dealer talking. So we're going to use a ten thousand

1045
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 3: dollars number. Right, So you made ten thousand dollars last

1046
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 3: my fear employees ten thousand dollars. What if I've learned

1047
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 3: from my wife whose grandmother ran a liquor shothouse. Right,

1048
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 3: they think, no, they you see a pint, they know

1049
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 3: how much each shot out that pint costs them. How

1050
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,719
Speaker 3: much they should make off of this plan? She says, Well,

1051
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,319
Speaker 3: I say, well, how much it costs.

1052
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 2: To make the tea?

1053
00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 3: Because if the cost is seven to make the ten,

1054
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 3: the paye three I want to make. I want to

1055
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 3: put three in and make seven out. I want to

1056
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,399
Speaker 3: change that. Right, So I said, how can I cut costs?

1057
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 3: Because I'm looking at the shirts. We like a lot

1058
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 3: of color, but the more color used, more expensive shirts are.

1059
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 3: I said, Man, the fuck this shit? I said, I

1060
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,799
Speaker 3: know somebody got laid off of furlough to fucked up.

1061
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,719
Speaker 3: I know it's somebody that don't want to eat. I

1062
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 3: know it's somebody can run a screenprint operation. I got

1063
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:48,880
Speaker 3: a building, why don't I just go buy my own machine.

1064
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:51,800
Speaker 3: So we're in the process of doing that right now, right.

1065
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 2: I love Rick Cross's a business man. Rick Ross got

00:49:39,280 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 2: learn to do that.

1084
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 3: You learn to get in the game at first, and

1085
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:44,879
Speaker 3: then start saying, well, what can I produce? What could

1086
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,279

1088
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:52,879

1089
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,160
Speaker 3: but people are willing to pay. You know, it's easy

Speaker 3: to say a dime, but you know it's easy to

1092
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 3: It's easy to.

1093
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 2: Say a nick. Yeah.

00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 4: Like, so.

00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,640

1102
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 3: I just bumped up in the shop.

1103
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,160
Speaker 2: I just popped up in. White Woman man spent two

1104
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 2: hundred and summer dollars.

1105
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,800
Speaker 3: God blasts a beautiful cat Gunner tar listening to in

1106
00:50:34,880 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 3: the eighties. So this was the coolest mom ever in

1107
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 3: the middle of this shop with all black guys, nobody

1108
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 3: looking minuting. But she was just like my son loves y'all,

1109
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 3: and I wanted to come in he's to run the

1110
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 3: Jewels fanom like we are the coolest motherfucking mom. We

1111
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 3: took a great pick, but that type of stuff happens

1112
00:50:51,920 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 3: more often than not. And I've realized that the Slash Shop,

1113
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 3: and you know, a lot of people say it's a brand.

1114
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 3: It absolutely is a brand, but it's a brand based

1115
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,480
Speaker 3: around the culture of black and working class barbershops. And

1116
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 3: what my ambition is to have, my small ambition is

1117
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 3: to have one hundred and fifty three in every major

1118
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 3: black market that's from Buffalo to Miami, from Los Angeles

1119
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 3: to Charlotte, to have three and to expand. I see

1120
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 3: now as I learn more about this game, and I

1121
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 3: see Floyd's and Rudi's and supercussion great clips, I don't

1122
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 3: see any reason why we can't get in excess to

1123
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 3: five hundred.

1124
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,440
Speaker 4: So at this point, I'm thinking, when people see you,

1125
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 4: do they even think about music, Souse, The first thing

1126
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 4: they think about is like.

1127
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 3: Well, run of Jewleses top ten on the Billboard, two hundred,

1128
00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 3: We sold a lot of records. We just did an

1129
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 3: adult swim special I only performance this year that's on

1130
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,839
Speaker 3: HBO Max for a month. We arguably the greatest rap

1131
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 3: duo in the world right now. So I think that

1132
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 3: people know me from music, but I'm more encouraged that

1133
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,479
Speaker 3: people know me for more than music.

1134
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 2: So my family's from Tuskege, Alabama.

1135
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 3: And if you talk about Lionel Ritchie, of course you

1136
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,200
Speaker 3: start singing and people start thinking of great records. My

1137
00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 3: family's a landown the family. So with my Auntius, remind

1138
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 3: you of you know he about he about a lot

1139
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,959
Speaker 3: of l a baby. He did something with his money.

1140
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 3: He didn't just give it out the children. So first

1141
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 3: stop having children, not a wetlock. And they didn't buy

1142
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 3: some layer like Lyne of Richie, you know. And and

1143
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 3: I can attend to that because I was talking to

1144
00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 3: a billionaire three days ago and he said, one of

1145
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 3: the most savvy business people I know is an entertainer

1146
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 3: name he calls nail, you know, white wol White Lie

1147
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:23,919
Speaker 3: your nail rich.

1148
00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 2: Now, that's dope.

1149
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,320
Speaker 3: And even when we get to the bar before and

1150
00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:31,919
Speaker 3: he gave me an idea I never thought about.

1151
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 2: I go to the barber shops my whole life.

1152
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:34,840
Speaker 3: And he was like, how many times you see the

1153
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 3: barber selling hair, grease, selling brooms, selling a brush, selling combes.

1154
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 3: We said, yeah, it's like what you would think like that,

1155
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 3: that makes sense, that makes complete sense. It's like, why

1156
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 3: would I have to leave the barbershop to buy I

1157
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 3: hate beauty stores with my wife, so we started brushing.

1158
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 3: I hate born in the beauty stores to buy my grease.

1159
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 3: So we'll make sure everybody gets a brushing stuff too.

1160
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,839
Speaker 3: But beyond that, I found a black company based here

1161
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 3: in Atlanta, that Dutch private Lately that you sit down with,

1162
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 3: let them know what you want. They create a line

1163
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 3: for you. And we've got our own line created and

1164
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 3: we'll be using a black company as I sourced locally

1165
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 3: to supply our line. So by Christmas Day you'll be able.

1166
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 3: You'll get gus to get a package to take care

1167
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 3: of your skin, your beard, your face and all that.

1168
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 3: Because as a guy, man, I'm just simple. I'll go

1169
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 3: to the mall or again, I go to Walters or

Speaker 2: I don't feel like doing other shit. You know what

1173
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm saying. I want to get Oh man, I'm in

Speaker 2: stop shot, One stop shot man.

1178
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 3: Because I sat in my barber shop on the south

1179
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,399
Speaker 3: side of the O G Shop, and I'm sitting there,

1180
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 3: you know, slightly stone, just observing, observing things, and I

1181
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 3: see a guy come in selling socks. I see a

1182
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,120

Speaker 3: in selling shitty storefrom CV. You know what I'm saying.

1184
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 3: And then I'm saying, this isn't just a shop, this

1185
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 3: is a store. But and then you know, I got

1186
00:54:07,200 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 3: it where it was like again, where did I learned business?

1187
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:10,120
Speaker 2: The trap?

1188
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 3: I start taxing people? Oh you come to myself. I

1191
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 3: you and my shot spinning. So then they start serving

1192
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 3: on the outside of the door. So then I said, well,

1193
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:22,760
Speaker 3: hey man, you're.

1194
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:23,120

00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 2: Month man, this man want this money. Man. And this

1198
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 2: woman I sleep with.

1199
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 3: Then this fine beautiful woman, she liked money, probably as

1200
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 3: much as she liked me, and she liked me before

1201
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 3: I add money so I can't.

1202
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 2: Go to a telling them, baby, we ain't good. You

Speaker 2: got to pay me for it.

1204
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 3: And that's when I got the understanding that we're not

1205
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:51,200
Speaker 3: a barbershop. We're a store housing crypt of coola and

1206
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:55,399
Speaker 3: the blood pop doing selling out daily. Shouts out to Thug,

1207
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,200

Speaker 2: They all is Jay partner with you on that? Or

Speaker 3: It's it's still fledgling. We're still building it. We're still

1221
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,720
Speaker 3: very proud of it, and we're determined to make it something.

1222
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 3: I think that there is room in the market for

1223
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 3: the brands that we built up with street fraternities, with

1224
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 3: neighborhood clicks, with dope sayings. You know what I'm saying,

1225
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 3: that should be an old boy Colone. I was so

1226
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:50,000
Speaker 3: nobody saying Cam It's flying, Cam cauld Sell. Colone is

1227
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 3: easily as Johnny Tip. You know what I mean, really

1228
00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 3: the old Johnny De. Yeah, like Cam would do that.

1229
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 3: So my thing is you have to do it for

1230
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 3: it to be done. So Criple, colon blood pop are

1231
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,240
Speaker 3: real things right now. You can buy them anywhere. Exotic

1232
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 3: pop is so Exotic pop has been doing an adult

1233
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 3: job of getting it out there. You can buy that

1234
00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:11,200

Speaker 2: you know, this is it.

1250
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 3: It doesn't hit as hard because a woman, you know,

1251
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,880
Speaker 3: like my woman, she likes security, she likes the purses,

1252
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:57,759

1256
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 3: bought a set of apartments. I bought a lot of

1257
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 3: cool things for her. Well, the apartment I fought for us.

1258
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 3: The other stuff I bought just for her because I

1259
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 3: wanted her to be able to make I told her

1260
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,680

00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 3: ten thousand dollars a month. And ain't got shit to

1264
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 3: do with me. And you know, a few months ago

1265
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 3: she came in and show me a piece of papers, said,

1266
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 3: you know you got me there. I acknowledge it I

1267
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:36,240
Speaker 3: just want to tell you, thank you, I love you,

1268
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But my wife, but I

1269
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 3: started buying her stocks and just just ask if you

1270
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 3: fire hundred stocks just like you know, stuff that I

1271
00:57:57,840 --> 00:57:59,919
Speaker 3: know we're gonna always use. My grandparents, which is regular

1272
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 3: working class foks. But they bought me Coca Cola and

1273
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 3: Delta stocks because those were two of the biggest companies here.

1274
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 3: They knew those companies weren't going anywhere. So I don't

1275
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 3: know as much about stocks as she does, but I

1276
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 3: know she's been very happy.

1277
00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 2: But I bought her a lot of it. So from Tuskige, Alabama. Right,

1278
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 2: That's yeah.

1279
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,439
Speaker 4: My grandmother family the black to be in this moment

1280
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,920
Speaker 4: where you have tens of thousands of people's signing up

1281
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 4: for your new venture, over one hundred hundred and ten thousand,

1282
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:31,720
Speaker 4: I mean, just talking about the evolution, How does that

1283
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 4: feel at this moment?

1284
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,120
Speaker 3: It feels exactly. My great grandfather's father was using New

1285
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 3: Tatie experiment. My great grandparents were sharecroppers. My grandmother also

1286
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,880
Speaker 3: sharecropped until they bought their own land. They owned thirty

1287
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 3: three Aggas and Tuskegee that we still currently own. Lumber

1288
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,439
Speaker 3: companies pay us to cut down trees and use the wood.

1289
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 3: So about you know, January had got a five hundred

1290
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,439
Speaker 3: dollars check, bought me and my son some Jay's.

1291
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 2: Actually, but it was time for him. He grew.

1292
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,640
Speaker 3: He had a gross bird, and you know it was

1293
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 3: good to see that something. My great grandparents worked their

1294
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 3: butt off, you know, they really worked, They really worked

1295
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 3: fingers at the ball. My great grandmother argued with her

1296
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 3: husband that she didn't give a damn if it was

1297
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 3: you know, pickings, even time to harvest everything. That her

1298
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,479
Speaker 3: children were going to school just like their white folks kids.

1299
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 3: So my grandmother and then were able to go to school,

1300
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 3: and my great grandmother had to work doubly and triply

1301
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 3: as hard as a woman, and her and my great

1302
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 3: grandfather provided a platform for their children to then come

1303
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 3: to Atlanta, to not need or want to educate themselves,

1304
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 3: and to become working class nurses, mechanics, you know, just

1305
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 3: the American dream. Just able to buy home, maybe have

1306
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 3: a rental property, take your kids on the cash. I

1307
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 3: really had the chocolate version of the American dream thanks

1308
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 3: to my grandparents raising. My grandfather grew up. His father

1309
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 3: abandoned them at ten years old. He had to raise

1310
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 3: his two sisters with his mother very hard times. His

1311
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 3: brother in law brews moonshine. He ran moonshine to Atlanta.

1312
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 3: His cousin had a shot house in Atlanta.

1313
01:00:05,320 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 2: You know, my.

1314
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 3: Grandfather had a radically different life, but it was one

1315
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 3: of the most kind and sweet man you'll ever want

1316
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 3: to meet. But he was ultimately a libertarian. In his

1317
01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 3: fossip youths. He wanted the government not involved in his life.

1318
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:17,920
Speaker 3: He wanted as least amount of taxes as possible, and

1319
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 3: he wanted the opportunity to fish hunt. He left the

1320
01:00:20,280 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 3: fuck along.

1321
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 2: You know. He took care of him and his family,

1322
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 2: and he took care of his neighbors.

1323
01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 3: If we went and caught fifty craft mean walleyte those

1324
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 3: fish were cleaned by my sisters and grandmothers in the back,

1325
01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 3: they were frozen.

1326
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 2: We kept twenty five.

1327
01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 3: The other twenty five were distributed, passed four of the

1328
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 3: fives to the poor and elderly around them. So, you know,

1329
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 3: for me, my family ingrained in me what you should

1330
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 3: be as a man. My job is the first and

1331
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 3: foremost take care of myself mentally, fields the spiritually. That's

1332
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 3: why I came to be in the gym in the morning,

1333
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 3: but I go. That's why I drink the water instead

1334
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 3: of cold, because I want to live a long time

1335
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 3: see my grandkids. And that's why I take care of

1336
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 3: my money, because I don't want my grandkids working from

1337
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 3: a place of treading water to try to get to

1338
01:00:59,400 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 3: land after they start on the beach, so that they

1339
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:03,960
Speaker 3: can build refuge and help the other people that are

1340
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:05,520
Speaker 3: coming in have something.

1341
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 2: You know, so I did.

1342
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 3: I am doing what my great grandfather and grandmother did,

1343
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 3: what my grandparents did, and what my mother and father done,

1344
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:15,880
Speaker 3: and I'm being responsible to myself and my family and

1345
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 3: accountable to my community.

1346
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:18,800

1392
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,760

Speaker 4: in sixth seventh grade. I knew him when he was

1394

Speaker 4: in ninth grade. He needed to be there right now,

1395
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 4: I said, not even from like an academic standpoint, but

1396
01:03:28,480 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 4: from the social environment. And some of the academics and

1397
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,360
Speaker 4: things like ye after eighth grade don't even matter, And

1398
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 4: I'm like, we kind of still need something, something we

1399
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 4: don't need.

1400
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 2: Why I think school matters. I'm a name names.

Speaker 2: Airy, Derek.

1404
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 3: All these people are pretty elite amongst having accomplished things

1405
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 3: in Atlanta. The first five or six people I named

1406
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:13,080
Speaker 3: were direct classmates of mine. So I was socialized around

1407
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 3: n c A, a champions Chief judges, professional football players,

1408
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 3: and businessmen. And I was socialized and educated around these

1409
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 3: people when we were in the sixth grade, in seventh

1410
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 3: grade and eighth grade, and I knew I could be

1411
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 3: a rapper because I knew my friend.

1412
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 2: Play out of basketball.

1413
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 3: So Cameron Dollard, who went on to one of right,

1414
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 3: So Camera's Me and Cameron were elementary school rivals. All

1415
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:42,320
Speaker 3: we did was fun as we fought, and I give

1416
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 3: credit Cameron a lot for challenging me as a kid,

1417
01:04:46,360 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 3: like he challenged this, and that's just for nothing.

1418
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 2: We were both to the chubby guys he had a

1419
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:56,240
Speaker 2: men had.

1420
01:04:56,400 --> 01:05:01,280
Speaker 3: Cameron is an amazing testament to mentality because his dad

1421
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:03,439
Speaker 3: was one of the most winning coaches in the state.

1422
01:05:03,600 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 2: He coached at Frederick Douglas High School.

1423
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:08,880
Speaker 3: Okay, so Cam, Cam really sharpened me in terms of saying,

1424
01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 3: letting me know that all your friends ain't gonna gently

1425
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 3: encourage you, so I'm gonna push the shit out of me.

1426
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 2: So we played, you know, on a team, Cam and

1427
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 2: like losing. So Cam, if I had to be on

1428
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:17,439
Speaker 2: his team.

1429
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 3: He was pushing me the whole guy like chubby as now.

1430
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,200

1446
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 3: people who look like us have to wait until they

1447
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 3: go to a history through the Black College.

1448
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 2: University to get that type of encouragement.

1449
01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:06,960

01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 3: Bill Murse.

1454
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 2: He's an art teacher at Frederick Lovel's High School. He's

1455
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 2: a reason that I'm that I love art and just

1456
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 2: saying I figured out a way to make money.

1457
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 3: You know I love art, right. He also was the

1458
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 3: first person to tell all these little want to be

1459
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 3: dope boys. They sent me to his his art class twice.

1460
01:06:32,880 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 3: That was smart, But I have I like to fight.

1461
01:06:34,840 --> 01:06:39,200
Speaker 3: Oh you said, my god, let's do his school a

1462
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,880
Speaker 3: lot of school suspension. So they just sent me to

1463
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 3: him twice a day. Send him begins at the end

1464
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 3: of the day. Man, we don't save peoples. Yeah, I'm

1465
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 3: Herrige classes. Mister Murrige the first person to say by

1466
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 3: land by the Dawn because he understood that the bluff

1467
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 3: the Blessed is where people went to vi hera and die.

1468
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 3: But he understood that that land being sold at that

1469
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 3: time one dollar five dollars. The city just needs to

1470
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 3: get it off, was going to become valuable. That land

1471
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:10,560
Speaker 3: is the same place that my wife amised me not

1472
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 3: to buy demon and by the department and buying that

1473
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:16,919
Speaker 3: without having touched it. It went from a two hundred

1474
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 3: and fift thousand dollars investment to being worth in excess

1475
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 3: of say one hundred thousand dollars. So he prepared me

1476
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 3: for that. He's the same person that calls me now,

1477
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 3: like compete, son, out of my guard. You need to

1478
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:29,680

1479
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:31,480
Speaker 3: that's what he is. But he was the first person

1480
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 3: to help us understand this little want to be d

1481
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 3: boys and players and pimps and whatever we thought we

1482
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:36,360

01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:39,400
Speaker 2: You know that you money is a tool or a

1484
01:07:39,480 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 2: weapon to be used.

1485
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 3: It's not something that you just put gold gold fronts

Speaker 2: It's a tool for you to use.

1489
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 3: Mister Murray never really worried about the rules of school

1490
01:07:53,720 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 3: because he was co owner of Murray Brother's funeral home.

1491
01:07:57,160 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 3: He owned land at another dome when he used parking

Speaker 2: So margs brown back.

1504
01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 3: Just look at all the black confidence buildings that I

1505
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:33,960
Speaker 3: encountered every step of the way. You know, Herman and Russell,

1506
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 3: the largest black real estate development in Southeast built the

1507
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:38,519
Speaker 3: only Scotch breaker in our skyline has a step that

1508
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 3: is thinking of Georgia Pacific building only black devil. I

1509
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 3: think to build that lived five streets back from me.

1510
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 3: I grew up in the little working class houses that

1511
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:49,720
Speaker 3: buffered them, you know, from projects, and then they leave

1512
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 3: them to enter our class. You know, I joke and

1513
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:53,840
Speaker 3: I laughed about the blue Flame. But the blue flame

1514
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 3: it's all about Michael Kato, whose father was mister Koe.

1515
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,200
Speaker 3: What's the mister k don't do we don't know the

1516
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 3: paper bags got delivered to the marching organizers, so what

1517
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,679
Speaker 3: the buses could get paid for and people could get killed.

1518
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 2: I mean, people wouldn't get killed that they were protected

1519
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:10,759
Speaker 2: by people like the Deacons of Defense.

1520
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 3: You know that happened because people like miss Kato, you know,

1521
01:09:13,960 --> 01:09:16,760
Speaker 3: people that the good boogie black folks were frown up.

1522
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 2: Hut.

1523
01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 3: You know, my dad told me one time about working

1524
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 3: booking when mister Kato came in and had been arrested,

1525
01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 3: and I said, what to say? He was drunk and

1526
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 3: school the brown to say them diamonds and he was

1541
01:09:58,200 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 3: I had a great grandmother since so I didn't want

1542
01:09:59,880 --> 01:10:02,840
Speaker 3: to insensible. My auntie was an alibill, so I d

1543
01:10:02,920 --> 01:10:03,679
Speaker 3: up getting out of the shrub.

1544
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 2: I wanted to.

1545
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,240
Speaker 3: But Steve I used to go to, who was from

1546
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 3: going home. He was from Chorlie Lows, Alan Rogers. Steve

1547
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 3: was twenty three years old, already had twenty three twenty

1548
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 3: four houses rental properties, already had toe trucks, already had barbershops.

1549
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 3: And he would allow me to just kind of sit

1550
01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 3: and he just give me game, like my cousin cut.

1551
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 3: My cousin Jimmy actually was cutting in his shop and he.

1552
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:25,920
Speaker 2: Just you know, I was like it.

1553
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 3: I was a chither of little black head, big buck

1554
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 3: to smile, white smile.

1555
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 2: But he was the first person to tell me, get

1556
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 2: you one little chain. He said.

1557
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 3: He said, well a Roman, he said, like a white

1558
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 3: man said, you wear a Roman? He said, white folks, children,

1559
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 3: you know I ain't gonna tell you that, he said,

1560
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 3: but you know, he saying, keeps me a white shirt.

1561
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:47,360
Speaker 3: So Steve would wear chrias guest jeans, a stiff white

1562
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:48,639
Speaker 3: shirt or polo style shirt.

1563
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 2: Very simple presidential roles he had on.

1564
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 3: But if you knew money, you knew he had something.

1565
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:56,640
Speaker 3: So I just would just sit there and I'll sit

1566
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 3: down here and be talking to me, and dudes be

1567
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 3: bringing him McDonald's fast full of ash. But he just

1568
01:11:01,320 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 3: impartd all his wisdom. Never offered for me to be

1569
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 3: a runner for him, never offered me, no plays, but

1570
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 3: he just poured a practical wisdom. And for whatever reason,

1571
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, but twenty years removed from that, you know,

1572
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,880
Speaker 3: he gives a thirty years remove from that, I get

1573
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:19,960
Speaker 3: a chance to write the judge on his behalf and say,

1574
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 3: you know, please allow this man to come home. You

1575
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:24,600
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, because if he comes home, I

1576
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 3: can guarantee you that I'll help him have employment. And

1577
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 3: many of the lessons that he was learning illegally he

1578
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:33,320
Speaker 3: passed on to me and I have been able to

1579
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:34,839
Speaker 3: use him for the betterment of the community.

1580
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 2: So he is he has a redeemed factor. That's one

1581
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 2: of the proudest moments. I don't know because I haven't

1582
01:11:40,400 --> 01:11:41,040
Speaker 2: heard back from.

1583
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:42,639
Speaker 3: The judge yet, and I haven't heard back from Steve,

01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 3: but Steve Digget to let him to judge at the letter.

1585
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:46,639

1605

Speaker 3: three thousands right.

1632
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 2: Uh, So Kilo is definitely to be heralded.

1633
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:06,200
Speaker 3: DJ Toomp cool and I connect him because DJ Tump

1634
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,680
Speaker 3: was there doing mc sh i d who was a

1635
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 3: transplant from the Bronx here who came to Atlanta kind

1636
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 3: of set off that the possibility.

1637
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:14,120
Speaker 2: It can happen.

1638
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:18,439
Speaker 3: He was the DJ and making beats back then to

1639
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 3: Jedus Round. He also went to work at for Uncle

1640
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 3: Luke Records for a while and then he ended up

1641
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:29,559
Speaker 3: inventing co inventing the sound for what we call trapp trapped.

1642
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 3: My good friend TII who major listed rightfully.

1643
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 2: So and so that's q R Lee.

1644
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:39,439
Speaker 3: That's DJ Toomp and I'd like to give a person

1645
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:42,439
Speaker 3: and outcasts him shine because he's one of the greatest

1646
01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:44,519
Speaker 3: DJs in the world. He's one of the greatest musical

1647
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:46,880
Speaker 3: conductors of one of the greatest groups in the world,

1648
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:49,640
Speaker 3: but although never considered a part of the group, as

1649
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,720
Speaker 3: instrumental in why they put on amazing live shows. And

1650
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 3: that's DJ cut Masters Swift, who also comes down because

1651
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 3: for US and it's featured on the New Ben and

1652
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:01,320

01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:07,719
Speaker 3: He cuts on Goonies versus DT and just so people

1656
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:10,719
Speaker 3: can get some contexts, this the equivalent of having Slash

1657
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 3: come out and justuitar your ship because he likes you

1658
01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 3: and doesn't charge you for it. So I would say

1659
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:19,560
Speaker 3: those three people have had a bigger effect. And you

1660
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 3: can argue albums because when you're gonna talk about it,

1661
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:24,599
Speaker 3: you know, you leave out people like Chris Cross.

1662
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 2: Jermaine and them kind of kicking.

1663

1757
01:20:47,320 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 3: trigger because we're afraid. We're not even afraid of failing,

1758

Speaker 3: we're afraid of not understanding. And you guys help bring about,

1759

Speaker 3: you know, wisdom and understanding and and and eliminate some

1760
01:20:58,680 --> 01:21:00,720
Speaker 3: of the anxiety and fear that people have. That's one

1761

Speaker 3: to the people, but she doesn't do as much.

1764
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:10,400
Speaker 2: Now.

1765
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 3: What she does is help you to confer the fear

1766
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:18,759
Speaker 3: and anxiety back in fronting the realities of going into stuff,

1767
01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 3: so that you go in prepare. You know what I'm saying,

1768
01:21:21,439 --> 01:21:23,560
Speaker 3: you're not afraid of the shootout, if you trained, you

1769
01:21:23,640 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. And if you know how to medically.

1770
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 2: Take care of yourself and you're not as afraid. You

1771
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:32,120

1772
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 3: She gave me some advice. Wants to take the focus

1773
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:39,200
Speaker 3: off so much you right, and put it on your brain.

1774
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 3: And what I did was married part of who I

1775
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:47,559
Speaker 3: was with the brand. So other companies, you know, when

1776
01:21:47,640 --> 01:21:49,920
Speaker 3: this stuff pops off and run the Jules is doing well,

1777
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:52,280
Speaker 3: or when Mike said something on TV, people saying the light,

1778
01:21:52,439 --> 01:21:53,200
Speaker 3: they'll come and get me.

1779
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:56,040
Speaker 2: They'll give me some money to say, hey, stand behind

1780
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,600
Speaker 2: our brand. But I'm like, if my face.

1781
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,400

Speaker 2: for my shop?

1786
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:10,639
Speaker 3: And why can't we replicate that then with other people

1787
01:22:10,720 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 3: so we've been given permission by some other artists to

1788
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 3: also use their images.

1789
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:18,280
Speaker 2: So we're wanna partner with artists that sing and dance,

01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:21,360
Speaker 2: and we're gonna partner with actual artists that I like.
