<v Speaker 1>just is what it.

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.519
<v Speaker 3>Is, because it's been one hundred eleven degrees lately and

0:00:38.560 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 3>this is the only hairstyle that will do. That is

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.400

<v Speaker 3>and pink ah girl.

0:00:45.880 --> 0:00:49.199
<v Speaker 1>Let me tell you something, there is this line. This

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>is not an ad or anything, but like one of

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 1>my friends, the Cole Walters, he's like one of my

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>faforite social media friends. She was wearing like this little

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>sweat outfit and I was like, Sis, this looks like

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>that could go from bed too around the house to

0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.680
<v Speaker 1>the grocery store to like, and so it was super

0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 1>cute because they're like kind of the pants are kind

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>of crop, you know, it gets a little booty lifted.

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 1>All the things are cute and so I'm like, where'd

0:01:10.640 --> 0:01:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you get this from? She was like Amazon. They're called Jessica.

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 1>It's not a name burner or anything like that, but

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>they're loungewear. But they're so cute. So I brought every

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>single color available. Girl, I got pink. I have coral,

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I have blue, I have green, I've got yellow. But

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I tell you, I know people are just so sick

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>of me, Like if she don't did she go with that?

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:33.639
<v Speaker 1>Zessica again, I am honestly, I love it my family.

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 3>It's like one of those randoms brands you see in

0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.039
<v Speaker 3>like this shopping mall. Yeah, right right next to like

0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:40.760
<v Speaker 3>hot topic.

0:01:42.360 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>But surprisingly, Like I was like, isn't gonna be good quality?

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>She was like, honestly, really, and it is. It's like

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't suggest it for like middle of the summer

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.760
<v Speaker 1>because they're actually pretty thick, but yeah, the quality is

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 1>great and it just feels so comfy on and so

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>it's cause I was like, I really don't want to

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>look super bummy at home because I think I'm like,

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I do have a husband, and so I'm like, well,

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>how do I be comfortable at home and not look crazy?

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time, you know, I'm not trying

0:02:07.600 --> 0:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to wearst the lettos. This is not the sixties. Not

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the sixties. What was that the fifties where women were

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>heels at home?

0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 2>The Destiny of your Child era, you know, but you.

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Know any one of them does and would come home

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 1>and you would have a red lip on with your

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>with your mules. I'm like, am I trying to live

0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.840
<v Speaker 1>that life? So I'm a Zachica and Superman is happy

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>about it.

0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Man, whenever I want to look sexy, I just uh,

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 3>I get the garden hose. And I asked Baye if

0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:34.119
<v Speaker 3>he wants to wash the TESTI that's what I that's

0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 3>how that way get that gets him in the mood.

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 3>He's like, yes, please, let's clean the car.

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>What is about many cleaning cars? They love doing that.

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.799
<v Speaker 3>When I tell you the number of times this man

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 3>cleans that car, he probably washes the car more often

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:50.640
<v Speaker 3>than he bathes. Now, I don't want to go viral

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.200
<v Speaker 3>like Ashton Kutcher amilakunis like we do shower here, okay,

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:58.839
<v Speaker 3>But I will tell you that that car and even

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 3>Rio's little play cars, they get more TLC than any

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.079
<v Speaker 3>other human or thing in this household.

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 2>And he it's like stress relief for.

0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 3>Him or or just you know, it's like his meditative practice.

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 3>It's fine, it's fine. There's way worse things he could

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:13.839
<v Speaker 3>be doing.

0:03:13.880 --> 0:03:18.600
<v Speaker 1>I get right, been lossing the car, girl, please, but he, he.

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.040
<v Speaker 2>And Rio need their own IM.

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm manifesting, and I keep telling him like we need

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 3>y'all need their own they need their own YouTube channel

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 3>or TikTok channel where it's just him and Rio doing

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 3>doing like home improvement projects. Because every time Enrique, every

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 3>time he's doing something, whether it's you know, especially if

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 3>it's putting together furniture, Rio is right there. He knows

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 3>how to use the little Alan wrenches, he knows where

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 3>the screws go. He loves taking things apart. And I'm

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 3>just like, this is great cute content. You know, He's like,

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 3>shut up and go do your TikTok dances.

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>So, speaking of TikTok, I have decide say now that

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 1>doesn't last long, don't don't get too happy. Now here's

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.800

<v Speaker 1>I'm actually gonna tell the step by step story of

0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:23.799

0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:26.799
<v Speaker 1>you're already you're not doing. Literally, I woke up this morning.

0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.599
<v Speaker 1>I told I promised myself. I said, tivity, you're gonna

0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>start TikTok today. I literally still had my you know

0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.120
<v Speaker 1>how you have your bedbun where you're like, this is

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>where how I were my head to sleep here to sleep.

0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 1>I still have my bedgun on in my target night

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:41.440
<v Speaker 1>dress on. And I was like, hey, I'm not coming

0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 1>to UQ. I made myself a promise. I guess I'm

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>trying to keep it. Let's talk about how I became

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:50.039
<v Speaker 1>a millionaire. Whatevs. You know. So I just like, you know,

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna post the videos I told myself. I'm not,

0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, like but hona say. I just feel like

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that I've ever told the story from

0:04:57.240 --> 0:05:00.039
<v Speaker 1>beginning to end, because it's really only been like the

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.080
<v Speaker 1>last four years. I'm I guess on paper, maybe I

0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:05.720
<v Speaker 1>was a millionaire by maybe thirty five, thirty six, maybe

0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>because I never had the company evaluated. But I'm talking

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:11.560
<v Speaker 1>about like an actual I won't say actual because you know,

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:14.400
<v Speaker 1>but if I had to look at my actual money

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:18.559
<v Speaker 1>investments like capital liquid millionaire, it was by thirty seven

0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.479
<v Speaker 1>that was able to look and say, oh, look there's

0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:22.520
<v Speaker 1>a million, and then by thirty eight more and more

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>and more, and now I'm forty one. So by thirty

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.240
<v Speaker 1>seven I became like a there are seven figures I

0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:31.839
<v Speaker 1>can visibly see, excluding homes and all that kind of stuff,

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, and other assets. So I was like, you know,

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I never really told that story because that happened at

0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven, but by thirty three I was still broke.

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>So what happened in kind of like that four years

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and what led up to it? I was like, you know,

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna literally, I'm just gonna do it one

0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:49.640
<v Speaker 1>minute clips until the story is done, and then you know,

0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:51.960
<v Speaker 1>if I like it, maybe I'll say I thought.

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 3>You said that you didn't want Penguin to come talk

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 3>to you anymore about Boo. I thought that you said

0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 3>that wasn't what you wanted. Anyway. I'm so excited because

0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 3>first of all, it's kind of like I want more.

0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 3>I just want more familiar faces on TikTok, just more friends.

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 3>It's nice, like I want Sandy Smith on I think

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.520
<v Speaker 3>Kevin backfielding bread he would be hilarious.

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he is hilarious.

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:14.040
<v Speaker 2>He has so many hot takes.

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:15.880
<v Speaker 3>But uh no, I mean TikTok is great because I

0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 3>feel like you can be your full authentic self and

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:19.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm excited.

0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 2>Let's play.

0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:23.240

<v Speaker 1>literally how did I become a millionaire? Especially how like

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>with having such hard times and then like you know,

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and then four years, you know, turning it around, like

0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>what happened? Come follow? You know you can comment or whatever.

0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be there.

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 3>You know, I found on my videos that I've been

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 3>posting a lot about the power of quitting your job,

0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 3>a lot about how I'm on my path to having

0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 3>a million dollar net worth. And it's been It's happened

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 3>a few times now where someone's commented and they're all obsessed.

0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Like what do you do for work? What do you

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 2>do for work? What was your job?

0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 3>And I'm like journalism and marketing, And then one persons

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.720
<v Speaker 3>bond and he said, well, this could never be true

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 3>for teachers. You know, we hardly make any money as

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 3>it is, and if you want to get paid more,

0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 3>it's really expensive degrees that stand in your way. And

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.680
<v Speaker 3>I hear that, but I also am like Tiffany was

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 3>a preschool teacher. Yeah, like what you're talking about, I mean,

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:23.440
<v Speaker 3>that's a defeatist attitude, it is.

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 2>I yes, of course.

0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 3>The point is, like Tiffany, you didn't become a bajillionaire

0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.920
<v Speaker 3>by continuing to teach preschool, but you know, you'd harness

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:36.679
<v Speaker 3>those skills in those teaching you know tea and you

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 3>teach yes exactly, and I think you it's about like

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 3>you broadened the concept of what teaching could look like exactly,

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:50.360
<v Speaker 3>and you you made it almost like no one could

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.960
<v Speaker 3>ever think that a teacher could you know, reach the

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:55.400
<v Speaker 3>heights that you've reached, But you envision that for yourself

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.200
<v Speaker 3>and you created it, and I think that is what

0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 3>separates some people.

0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 2>You really have to unlearn this.

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 3>Idea, the box that you you put yourself in and

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:05.120
<v Speaker 3>like society puts you in as well.

0:09:05.920 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you it's true, like it I mean, and

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna pretend like it's not hard to do so.

0:09:10.559 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>But one of the things, like you know, one of

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>my goals for the last like since I came back

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:18.199
<v Speaker 1>for my six weeks, really has been to expand my capacity.

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's almost like I had just done actually,

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 1>like so on my on my ig feed, I've got

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:26.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, I do this thing called the budget needs

0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to break down and that's like the most recent breakdown

0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.679
<v Speaker 1>video on my ig. It's like, expand your capacity. So

0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>how do you So It's almost like you have this cup,

0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 1>and this cup can hold eight ounces, and that is

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.439
<v Speaker 1>the way you're thinking now, but you want to be

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>able to hold sixteen ounces. Well it can't be the

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 1>same cup because that cup is not going to hold

0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 1>more than eight. So unless you expand your capacity, get

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:51.600
<v Speaker 1>a new cup, you know, and introduce new ideas, new ways,

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.439
<v Speaker 1>new ways of thinking and navigating things, you will always

0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>only hold up to eight ounces. And so that's really

0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:00.720
<v Speaker 1>the key. And it's it's all it's hard word, you

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:04.280
<v Speaker 1>know because even me, so despite the fact that we

0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>hit ten million dollars last year, I still think I

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 1>think too small, you know what I mean, because like

0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I still feel like I have not widened, you know,

0:10:17.840 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>my capacity for thinking beyond where I am now. Because

0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I will talk to someone else and I'm just like, wow,

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:26.000
<v Speaker 1>I never thought about it that way, and I'm enjoying that.

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.160
<v Speaker 1>So I'm actually spending so much time now. I have

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:32.959
<v Speaker 1>shifted what I thought I should be as a CEO

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>to something different. So in the beginning it was a

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.480
<v Speaker 1>lot more hands on because I had to be like,

0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 1>what's this, what's that? What about this? What about that?

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:40.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, like no, no, no, like this like that.

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:43.760
<v Speaker 1>So but I have grown the team enough and the

0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.199
<v Speaker 1>six weeks away has taught me to trust them enough

0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>that they got it and I just kind of come

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 1>in and make some changes. So my role as a

0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>CEO is to remove blockages and challenges. So let's just say,

0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, the content team has been trying to reach

0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.200
<v Speaker 1>out to somebody they want to partner with and the

0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.160
<v Speaker 1>person's not responding. I'll just make a phone call. I'm

0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 1>been like, says, pick up your phone, you know. So

0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:07.360
<v Speaker 1>I removed challenges. I set vision, you know, like here's

0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:10.000
<v Speaker 1>the north star what we're headed toward. I also am

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.000
<v Speaker 1>in charge of company culture, you know, because it really

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.400
<v Speaker 1>does kind of trickle down from the top. But also

0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.640
<v Speaker 1>something that I've incurred is that, like, to me as

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.920
<v Speaker 1>a really good, CEO. I have to be an amazing student.

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.160
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing a lot of studying Mandy, a lot.

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:28.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I had been watching so many YouTube videos

0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 1>about creating, about investing, about anything I can think of,

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>any kind of interest. I have read so many books.

0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I just finished one Atomic Habits today, and I have

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to read Trevor Noah's Border Crime. I've been

0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>listening to so many podcasts.

0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:46.920
<v Speaker 3>Glad you're I'm glad you're getting some memoirs in there too.

0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Yes, no, I love a good memory these days. But

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, like I just feel like that's one of

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.920
<v Speaker 1>the best ways to increase your capacity is you have

0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.640
<v Speaker 1>to interject new ideas and new ways of thinking, and

0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:59.880
<v Speaker 1>new people and you know, and just just new experiences

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:04.160
<v Speaker 1>into your life. So the gentleman who said, like, yes, yes,

0:12:04.240 --> 0:12:07.679
<v Speaker 1>maybe a school teacher may not be able to you know,

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 1>grow to you know, millions and millions of dollars, and

0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 1>even that I don't believe. But teaching, certainly, when if

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.720
<v Speaker 1>you can teach, do you understand how few people like

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>what a what a highly monetizable skill set teaching is yo?

0:12:23.400 --> 0:12:25.680
<v Speaker 1>If you can teach, you can like literally rule the world,

0:12:25.760 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>and so like, I just challenge anyone who kind of

0:12:28.240 --> 0:12:30.600
<v Speaker 1>feels like they're in a position or you know, or

0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.600
<v Speaker 1>any sort of position, yeah that where they think that

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.960
<v Speaker 1>they're meant there what they can make is limited. I

0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 1>challenge you to be like, I don't that's not true.

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Let me find an example of that's where that's not true.

0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:43.679
<v Speaker 1>And I'm an example where that's not true.

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'm really glad that I brought that up because

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:48.680
<v Speaker 3>I know I'm like Tiffany is proof positive of this.

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.679
<v Speaker 2>But I love that. And I think I think you only.

0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 3>Fail in life if you're if you think you have

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:56.920
<v Speaker 3>a figured out and if you think that you have

0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 3>nothing left to learn, and there's no right way to

0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:02.839
<v Speaker 3>learn either, there's no right way to listen. You just

0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 3>kind of have to find the stories that you know

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.079
<v Speaker 3>or access people, either.

0:13:06.920 --> 0:13:08.920
<v Speaker 2>One on one or it can be podcasts, you.

0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.360
<v Speaker 3>Know, I personally listen to podcasts. I watch a lot

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 3>of great documentaries and shows on TV, and I love

0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:21.080
<v Speaker 3>I love fiction and I love memoirs and I love talking.

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:22.840
<v Speaker 2>To people about it. And it's not like there's any

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:24.160
<v Speaker 2>one right path.

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:27.280
<v Speaker 3>But it's like we're constantly students, and I think about

0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Michelle Obama's memoir Becoming, and in the intro of the book,

0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:34.320
<v Speaker 3>she talks about why she named it becoming, and she says,

0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.120
<v Speaker 3>it's because we're always becoming, you know, the next version

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.840
<v Speaker 3>of ourselves, the next layer of ourselves. We're becoming that

0:13:40.880 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 3>person every day. We're in a constant Nothing is finite,

0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.640
<v Speaker 3>nothing is final. And I hope that Brown Ambition is

0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.920
<v Speaker 3>a place where people feel like they can come and

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.120
<v Speaker 3>help there and help and we help them, you know,

0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.680
<v Speaker 3>see a bigger vision of what their life can be

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:56.960
<v Speaker 3>as well. And that's what it feels like to me

0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 3>for sure.

0:13:58.200 --> 0:13:59.840
<v Speaker 1>And also to you know, what I've been learning, Like

0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:01.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of what I've been learning. I was just

0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:03.920
<v Speaker 1>talking to a friend of mine who has an online school.

0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:07.920
<v Speaker 1>She also hit ten million dollars last year and then

0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>this year, I think she hit ten million dollars in

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.840
<v Speaker 1>her online school. But then she also trades, and so

0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:15.319
<v Speaker 1>she made ten million dollars in trading, so twenty million

0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I believe, right. So anyway, we were talking about that

0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.560
<v Speaker 1>and how she was sharing how she went to this

0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>conference where she sat on this panel with some of

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the largest names in the creator space, and she just

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 1>knew that these huge names got to be making fifty

0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>one hundred million dollars something crazy, and she found that

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:36.680
<v Speaker 1>on that panel, she was like, not only was she

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 1>making more than most, Like almost everyone on that panel,

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>they like, it's one thing to gross ten million, it's

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 1>another thing to net. So the difference, y'all is gross

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 1>is oh this is all we you know, you get

0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the complete bag? Net is after I pay all these expenses,

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.120
<v Speaker 1>what's left over? And she said that, you know that

0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:58.920
<v Speaker 1>there were people who maybe make eight or nine, but

0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:01.960
<v Speaker 1>they were like, we're negative, We're not actually making any money.

0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:04.440
<v Speaker 1>And she was so shocked because she just assumed I'm

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 1>not famous, I'm not well known. You've got millions and followers,

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and you've got twenty million followers here, and you've got

0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.200
<v Speaker 1>this big platform here, and you need to tell me

0:15:12.240 --> 0:15:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you're in the negative. And she just couldn't believe because

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:16.480
<v Speaker 1>I was telling her like, oh, you know, I really

0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>got to do better. She was like, girl, no, you

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>are a freaking unicorn, because I think the last time

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I checked, our our net was forty six percent or

0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.920
<v Speaker 1>forty six percent profit, So that means of the ten

0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:30.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, you get to keep four point six million,

0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.240
<v Speaker 1>four point eight million, So that's high for kind of

0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 1>any company. And so that was just like such an

0:15:37.360 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 1>eye opener of some You don't need to be as

0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:42.920
<v Speaker 1>big as you think you need to be to be

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:44.240
<v Speaker 1>as successful as you like to be.

0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:46.800
<v Speaker 2>It all depends on how you're measuring that success.

0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm.

0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:50.960
<v Speaker 3>And net is the keyword here. Net net net Yeah,

0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:53.920
<v Speaker 3>networth net proceeds, net profit.

0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 2>That's where it's really at. That's where the truth.

0:15:55.640 --> 0:15:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Is because you can have like a highly actionized, like

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:03.760
<v Speaker 1>a community of one hundred thousand that yield your business

0:16:03.760 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>more than someone who has two million, three million followers

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:09.520
<v Speaker 1>and like nobody cares what they have to say, you

0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:11.000
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. People just follow, but they're not

0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 1>really like they're not moved. And so like for me,

0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:17.400
<v Speaker 1>like when I think of like my business girl crushes,

0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.200
<v Speaker 1>one of them is Girl Trek. So if you guys

0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>are not familiar with Girl Track, girl Track is a

0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:28.720
<v Speaker 1>black women's nonprofit and the premise of girl Trick is

0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.720
<v Speaker 1>to get black women out walking treking, right, and so

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.120
<v Speaker 1>girl Trek without any ads, it's first I could see

0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 1>signed up like about one million women in about a

0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 1>year and a half a year year and a half

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>to Girl Track. That's like incredible because you don't understand

0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.800
<v Speaker 1>like everybody here, everybody spends so much money on ads

0:16:46.800 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 1>for the most part. So I look at girl Track

0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>and if you like, if you I was just on

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 1>TikTok to see this. Girl Trek have a TikTok. They

0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 1>do zero post. If you go to their Facebook, it's decent.

0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>But if you go to their Instagram, Okay, it's decent.

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:00.840
<v Speaker 1>But eh, they they don't send out a ten of

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.200
<v Speaker 1>emails because I'm on the Girl Trek email list, and

0:17:03.280 --> 0:17:08.080
<v Speaker 1>yet they have been able to get this amazing this

0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:12.800
<v Speaker 1>like a million women to move right. I remember they

0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.080
<v Speaker 1>they did a partnership with like Oprah via WW they

0:17:16.080 --> 0:17:18.240
<v Speaker 1>did a partnership I think with like Walmart and Target.

0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.359
<v Speaker 1>And you're like, so sometimes you can get so sidetracked

0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.040
<v Speaker 1>by like the flashy that you see that you're missing

0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 1>out on these real amazing lessons of like these diamonds.

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.600
<v Speaker 1>So to me, I don't look at another other stuff

0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:31.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at. So how does girl Trek do this?

0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.280
<v Speaker 1>I know I know both Morgan and Vanessa Hork, founders

0:17:34.280 --> 0:17:36.560
<v Speaker 1>of girl Trek, and that's another thing that I really

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.320
<v Speaker 1>enjoyed with Girl Trek is that it's Girl Trek, not

0:17:39.440 --> 0:17:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Morgan and Vanessa. Like I would love to be able

0:17:43.160 --> 0:17:45.360
<v Speaker 1>to like really in the next five years. I wanted

0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to fall off as Tiffany. I want like the new

0:17:47.119 --> 0:17:49.040
<v Speaker 1>financial people like oh remember the budget Nessa when she

0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:51.359
<v Speaker 1>was oh, look at Tiffany, and I'm like, yes, I

0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>fell off. I fell off and you can't find me anywhere,

0:17:56.600 --> 0:18:00.439
<v Speaker 1>and like the business is the phrase fronting thing and

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.560
<v Speaker 1>so like I just study like those types of brands.

0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.679
<v Speaker 1>I think I think we're in danger these days of

0:18:04.720 --> 0:18:06.720
<v Speaker 1>like kind of like giving all of our energy toward

0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:10.639
<v Speaker 1>the things that look outwardly successful but inwardly are really not.

0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Amen, period.

0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Paragraph.

0:18:14.080 --> 0:18:16.480
<v Speaker 3>If there's one takeaway from this show, let that be it.

0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:17.880
<v Speaker 3>What you see is not.

0:18:17.920 --> 0:18:18.679
<v Speaker 2>The full picture.

0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.399
<v Speaker 3>And that's why it's like you see it. Take it

0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 3>with a huge handful of salt.

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:25.320
<v Speaker 1>And then a handful of assault.

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:29.320
<v Speaker 2>Just salt.

0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.440
<v Speaker 3>They all over it.

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:34.280
<v Speaker 2>That's just farse.

0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:37.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I try to be so authentic on social

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 3>media to the point where I have my screaming toddler

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 3>sometimes on my tiktoks while I'm trying to do it

0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.320
<v Speaker 3>because I'm like I need to do this TikTok and

0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:45.919
<v Speaker 3>he's here, so this is what it's like to be

0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.919
<v Speaker 3>a mom preneur. Meanwhile, he's like smacking my hands.

0:18:48.920 --> 0:18:52.600
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I was like, that's why he was like, Yeah,

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what you're doing. I don't like it.

0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:54.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it.

0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.399
<v Speaker 3>I want to play just I try to do so much.

0:18:58.440 --> 0:18:59.119
<v Speaker 2>Yes, you have to.

0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:01.600
<v Speaker 3>We just need more pople authentic and sharing their journey.

0:19:01.640 --> 0:19:05.879
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, absolutely, And if you see people being successful,

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:08.120
<v Speaker 3>yay for you love to see it, but.

0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:10.160
<v Speaker 2>You don't know the real real you don't.

0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:12.879
<v Speaker 3>You only know what's happening in your own house, and

0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.679
<v Speaker 3>that's where you have to focus. Yeah, So what do

0:19:15.720 --> 0:19:17.679
<v Speaker 3>you think it is about those Let's drill into that

0:19:17.720 --> 0:19:21.320
<v Speaker 3>a little bit because especially as you're looking at businesses

0:19:21.359 --> 0:19:23.840
<v Speaker 3>that you see, you know, huge social media following, but

0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:27.080
<v Speaker 3>is that a business model versus good business model? And

0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:30.200
<v Speaker 3>maybe not so not such a huge focus on social media.

0:19:30.520 --> 0:19:33.320
<v Speaker 3>What do you think it is about movements and businesses

0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:36.359
<v Speaker 3>that separate those that maybe have you know one or

0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:36.680
<v Speaker 3>the other.

0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think that the difference between a huge social

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 1>media following and someone that has a business that resonates

0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:46.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, because you can have a huge social media

0:19:46.960 --> 0:19:50.160
<v Speaker 1>following and a business that resonates. So for example, Tabitha Brown, right,

0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 1>her book hasn't even come out yet, it's already like

0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.679
<v Speaker 1>top one hundred on Amazon. Her McCormick Seasoning sold out

0:19:56.720 --> 0:19:59.959
<v Speaker 1>in like thirty minutes, right, So she has a you know,

0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:02.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what her business model is, but let's

0:20:02.960 --> 0:20:06.440
<v Speaker 1>just you know, from the outside, successful business, huge following.

0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:10.800
<v Speaker 1>People move as a result of Tapatha. But she has both.

0:20:11.320 --> 0:20:15.639
<v Speaker 1>And then you might have someone like, for example, like

0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.919
<v Speaker 1>a ray J. No shade to you, Brandy's brother, but

0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:22.359
<v Speaker 1>he I've seen him post things and they'll say like

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:24.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's it's busted, like and no one, no

0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:27.320
<v Speaker 1>one has purchased it, no one has moved, although he's

0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.639
<v Speaker 1>got more than a million followers, right. And so the

0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:35.280
<v Speaker 1>difference is trust. You watch Tapatha Brown, and based upon

0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:38.199
<v Speaker 1>the things that she's sharing, you trust her, and so

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 1>as a result, you move when she says to move.

0:20:41.119 --> 0:20:42.879
<v Speaker 1>And so I look at ray J. Now I'm not

0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 1>saying no things, but if ray J is telling me

0:20:45.240 --> 0:20:47.280
<v Speaker 1>about a bank account, I don't care. If ray J'

0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:49.320
<v Speaker 1>is telling me maybe about a music app, I might

0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:51.479
<v Speaker 1>because I'm like, okay, he comes from a musical family.

0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.840
<v Speaker 1>And so that when you build trust with your audience,

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't need as much audience as you think, Like

0:20:57.359 --> 0:20:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I know, relatively speaking for most people, it

0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:00.959
<v Speaker 1>might seem like I have this huge audience. But in

0:21:01.000 --> 0:21:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the social media space now, these like five year olds

0:21:03.600 --> 0:21:07.520
<v Speaker 1>have like five million you know followers doll but you know,

0:21:08.040 --> 0:21:12.399
<v Speaker 1>literally an egg, an uncooked egg on Instagram has more following.

0:21:13.240 --> 0:21:15.840
<v Speaker 1>But what I do have with my audience is trust,

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:21.159
<v Speaker 1>and especially in a space personal finance, where trust is

0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:24.240
<v Speaker 1>not easily won or kept. And so as a result,

0:21:24.680 --> 0:21:27.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't need it's huge of an audience

0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 1>because of one I do have moves. So trust is

0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:33.400
<v Speaker 1>built with consistency. Trust is built with do you say

0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:35.359
<v Speaker 1>what you're gonna do, do you say what you know,

0:21:35.800 --> 0:21:37.400
<v Speaker 1>do what you said, and did you do it when

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:40.280
<v Speaker 1>you said it. Trust is built with transparency. Trust is

0:21:40.280 --> 0:21:44.000
<v Speaker 1>built with genuineness and care. And so that's really the difference.

0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:47.159
<v Speaker 1>Like when you hear Tabitha Brown speak, you trust her

0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.919
<v Speaker 1>because she seems real, you know, whereas there might be

0:21:50.960 --> 0:21:53.119
<v Speaker 1>a brand that like you know, you follow for the

0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:55.920
<v Speaker 1>for the giggles, but you're like, hmmm, they're probably a liar,

0:21:55.960 --> 0:21:58.560
<v Speaker 1>but this is fun, you know, like I'm not clicking

0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 1>on what they asked me to click on. And so

0:22:00.400 --> 0:22:03.479
<v Speaker 1>just asking yourself, like, how can you increase the trust

0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:06.199
<v Speaker 1>the trust between you and your audience wherever you currently

0:22:06.240 --> 0:22:10.000
<v Speaker 1>are with your audience by being consistent showing up? Like lately,

0:22:10.040 --> 0:22:12.119
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing these lives and I told myself, I

0:22:12.119 --> 0:22:14.920
<v Speaker 1>don't look at the numbers anymore. But my sister was like, girl,

0:22:14.920 --> 0:22:16.840
<v Speaker 1>have you noticed your lives are increasing? I'm like, huh,

0:22:17.400 --> 0:22:20.080
<v Speaker 1>because you know, for my own mental health. Like I

0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:23.119
<v Speaker 1>told doctor Greed, I love teaching. So she was like,

0:22:23.160 --> 0:22:25.160
<v Speaker 1>but I'm like, but I don't like social media anymore.

0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:26.800
<v Speaker 1>And she was like, well, why not just go on

0:22:27.040 --> 0:22:29.159
<v Speaker 1>teach and come off. That's what I do, Like, I

0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:31.960
<v Speaker 1>actually add the app of TikTok on what I feel

0:22:31.960 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 1>like doing a live because maybe I got an amazing

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.359
<v Speaker 1>lesson or something came to me. I'll do a live,

0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:38.320
<v Speaker 1>and then as soon as I go off, I take

0:22:38.359 --> 0:22:41.520
<v Speaker 1>off TikTok. I'm not TikTok. I take Instagram off my phone.

0:22:41.800 --> 0:22:43.840
<v Speaker 1>So at first, when I was doing lives, it was

0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:45.520
<v Speaker 1>maybe like a month or so ago. I started to

0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:47.639
<v Speaker 1>do them, and I got maybe like a on average,

0:22:47.640 --> 0:22:50.640
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and fifty, one hundred and fifty people would

0:22:50.640 --> 0:22:53.640
<v Speaker 1>show up, and that number would maintain, you know, and

0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:55.640
<v Speaker 1>then it crept up to two hundred, and now we're

0:22:55.720 --> 0:22:58.359
<v Speaker 1>up to four fifty five hundred in a span of

0:22:58.400 --> 0:23:00.760
<v Speaker 1>about a month and a half. I don't save them

0:23:00.960 --> 0:23:03.080
<v Speaker 1>cause quite honesty, like I don't want to upload them

0:23:03.119 --> 0:23:06.000
<v Speaker 1>for later for critique or whatever. I just have a

0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:08.159
<v Speaker 1>lesson that I want to teach a jewel that I

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 1>want to drop, typically about business or personal finance, and

0:23:11.560 --> 0:23:14.159
<v Speaker 1>then I like, drop, Mike, I'm out. But people have

0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:16.960
<v Speaker 1>been really loving them, and you know what it's been doing,

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:20.200
<v Speaker 1>It's been building trust. Because the other day I didn't

0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:22.119
<v Speaker 1>even talk about the book. I jumped off. I think

0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:23.639
<v Speaker 1>someone said something like, oh, I have your book, and

0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:24.920
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, thanks so much. I hope you're

0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:28.080
<v Speaker 1>enjoying it. I jumped off. A few hours later, I

0:23:28.080 --> 0:23:30.160
<v Speaker 1>looked on Amazon because I checked my my numbers book

0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:32.600
<v Speaker 1>sell numbers all the time, and I jumped like five

0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:35.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred spots and I was like, what, I don't want

0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't even selling the book. But no, it was

0:23:38.560 --> 0:23:41.040
<v Speaker 1>because of that trust from that live and people were

0:23:41.040 --> 0:23:43.040
<v Speaker 1>having such a good time, they said, what else does

0:23:43.080 --> 0:23:46.760
<v Speaker 1>Tiffany have? And so like keeping that in mind, like

0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:48.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, if you're a business owner or just even

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:51.959
<v Speaker 1>like in your career, that like it's trust is truly

0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:55.239
<v Speaker 1>the commodity that you were in the business of. You know,

0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:58.240
<v Speaker 1>if you can do that, then everything else becomes so

0:23:58.320 --> 0:23:58.920
<v Speaker 1>much easier.

0:23:59.520 --> 0:24:01.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think that's so true. And You've always talked

0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:05.119
<v Speaker 3>about trust. And I think as a black woman owning

0:24:05.119 --> 0:24:07.680
<v Speaker 3>a business, and now that I'm building my own business too,

0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:11.359
<v Speaker 3>I remember, I think about what happens when a black

0:24:11.400 --> 0:24:15.400
<v Speaker 3>business or a black anything insert here, a black musician,

0:24:15.720 --> 0:24:18.119
<v Speaker 3>black artist, black creator of any kind.

0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:19.720
<v Speaker 2>You know, you are so.

0:24:19.880 --> 0:24:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Supported by the community that you lean into that you

0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:26.640
<v Speaker 3>are speaking to, and then the star rises and then

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:31.199
<v Speaker 3>the brand gets bigger, You become more noticeable. You're in

0:24:31.320 --> 0:24:34.439
<v Speaker 3>rooms that don't look like you know your audience all

0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:37.520
<v Speaker 3>the time. And I was thinking recently while I was

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:40.399
<v Speaker 3>taking my little girl chek walk earlier four miles whatever,

0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:45.280
<v Speaker 3>and I was thinking about the Shae moisture controversy when

0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:49.400
<v Speaker 3>they sold Shay moisture to what was it, Sundial which

0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:51.479
<v Speaker 3>owns Loril and a bunch of other brands, and they

0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:56.720
<v Speaker 3>had that really tone deaf commercial, uh and shit hit

0:24:56.760 --> 0:24:59.359
<v Speaker 3>the fan, and it was like, you know, black women

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:02.520
<v Speaker 3>especially and I personally also took a little bit personally

0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:04.560
<v Speaker 3>because you feel like this was for.

0:25:04.520 --> 0:25:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Us, it was our thing.

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.880
<v Speaker 3>It was it was for our texture, It made our hair,

0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:11.200
<v Speaker 3>you know, it gave us a safe space in the

0:25:11.240 --> 0:25:13.119
<v Speaker 3>in the in the drug store to get a product

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:15.040
<v Speaker 3>that we knew was made for us. And then it

0:25:15.080 --> 0:25:16.800
<v Speaker 3>became everyone else's and look.

0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:17.720
<v Speaker 2>What's happened to it.

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:18.679
<v Speaker 1>It broke trust.

0:25:19.240 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 3>It broke trust, and I think it's really important even

0:25:23.200 --> 0:25:24.840
<v Speaker 3>I and I don't. I'm not saying this to say

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:26.960
<v Speaker 3>that I worry about Tiffany, like, not at all. I

0:25:26.960 --> 0:25:28.639
<v Speaker 3>think that you're so in tune with your audience and

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:30.760
<v Speaker 3>you care about them so much that wouldn't happen. But

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:34.480
<v Speaker 3>I especially, I mean, look at Brown Ambition when we

0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:37.199
<v Speaker 3>joined a network. I think that you know, there's a

0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:39.080
<v Speaker 3>little bit of fear. Okay, they're working for a network

0:25:39.119 --> 0:25:41.560
<v Speaker 3>now it's not just Tiffany and Mandy anymore, but we

0:25:41.600 --> 0:25:45.200
<v Speaker 3>are still here in it, you know, on every email,

0:25:45.200 --> 0:25:49.080
<v Speaker 3>a chain, making every decision about who who, who sponsors us,

0:25:49.080 --> 0:25:51.400
<v Speaker 3>who doesn't, who's the guest, who's not the guest, and

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:54.600
<v Speaker 3>that I think helps continue that trust and we have

0:25:54.680 --> 0:25:57.120
<v Speaker 3>to continue thinking about that. It gets harder to do

0:25:57.520 --> 0:26:00.399
<v Speaker 3>when the money gets bigger and the opportunities bigger.

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:02.800
<v Speaker 1>Probably, And I'll say this, one of the ways that

0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 1>like how I've been able to navigate is well, one,

0:26:07.200 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 1>you have to get clear like me and Manda are

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:11.840
<v Speaker 1>very clear. We've had the conversation over and over who

0:26:11.840 --> 0:26:14.639
<v Speaker 1>are we speaking to and why. That's one, so you

0:26:14.680 --> 0:26:16.600
<v Speaker 1>have to get clear on like what's your north star?

0:26:17.240 --> 0:26:21.840
<v Speaker 1>And then two, what honestly helps is that you have

0:26:22.080 --> 0:26:23.800
<v Speaker 1>some and you might not always be able to do this,

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:28.280
<v Speaker 1>but you have some underlining other things, meaning that we

0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:32.800
<v Speaker 1>can say no to money now and wait hold out

0:26:32.800 --> 0:26:34.960
<v Speaker 1>for what we really what we really want, you know,

0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:38.560
<v Speaker 1>because we're this money. We don't live and die by

0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 1>this the you know what's happening now that we will

0:26:40.640 --> 0:26:43.760
<v Speaker 1>play the long game, you know. And so with Budgeteiza,

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:45.359
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't always so, because I was definitely broken in

0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:48.199
<v Speaker 1>the beginning. But what I used to say was like, oh,

0:26:48.280 --> 0:26:49.800
<v Speaker 1>I can say yes to this even though it's not

0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:53.160
<v Speaker 1>in alignment, or I can babysit in tutor and wait

0:26:53.240 --> 0:26:56.560
<v Speaker 1>until something's in alignment. So I always made sure that

0:26:56.600 --> 0:26:58.560
<v Speaker 1>like and from the very beginning, I said to myself, Tifton,

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 1>you're going to have to create a way that income

0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:04.040
<v Speaker 1>comes in that is not in aligned with not aligned

0:27:04.080 --> 0:27:07.440
<v Speaker 1>with anything else other than delivering to the audience. Because

0:27:07.480 --> 0:27:10.119
<v Speaker 1>he keeps you honest. So now when a brand like

0:27:10.119 --> 0:27:12.359
<v Speaker 1>you should see me on my lives, I'm wild. Sometimes

0:27:12.359 --> 0:27:13.959
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, ooh god, I don't save it because I'd

0:27:13.960 --> 0:27:17.200
<v Speaker 1>be like these brand couple, Why these brands can't kiss

0:27:17.240 --> 0:27:19.399
<v Speaker 1>my behind? And you know what they do? They love it.

0:27:19.600 --> 0:27:22.119
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, Tiffany, you're so authentically black. I'm like,

0:27:22.359 --> 0:27:25.120
<v Speaker 1>get out of my inbox. Get out of my inbox,

0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:28.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, because you don't to know why. Because eighty

0:27:29.000 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 1>to ninety percent of that ten million dollars came directly

0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:35.600
<v Speaker 1>from the audience. I don't have to do anything I

0:27:35.600 --> 0:27:38.359
<v Speaker 1>don't want to do as long as I'm in alignment

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:41.920
<v Speaker 1>and I pour back into the very people that I

0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:43.800
<v Speaker 1>have said that I've been going to serve. I don't

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:45.600
<v Speaker 1>ever have to worry. There's not a brand I've had

0:27:45.640 --> 0:27:47.800
<v Speaker 1>brand say to me there was one brand in particular.

0:27:47.920 --> 0:27:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I won't say it was a big bank you can't run,

0:27:52.000 --> 0:27:54.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's a little hint. Anyway, they wanted me

0:27:54.200 --> 0:27:57.040
<v Speaker 1>to do something and I was like nah, and the

0:27:57.080 --> 0:28:00.440
<v Speaker 1>guy actually wrote back, we work with people bigger than Tiffany. Ooh,

0:28:00.480 --> 0:28:04.119
<v Speaker 1>you man, we work with people bigger than Tiffany and

0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:06.840
<v Speaker 1>something he said. And I was tempted to be like, sir,

0:28:07.000 --> 0:28:08.800
<v Speaker 1>what are you in my inbox? Waste in my time?

0:28:08.960 --> 0:28:10.800
<v Speaker 1>My dad and I just was like, oh, delete. But

0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:14.680
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing. I don't care. I don't care. I

0:28:14.720 --> 0:28:16.639
<v Speaker 1>don't care if you want to offer me one hundred thousand,

0:28:16.680 --> 0:28:18.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't care if you want to offer me one million,

0:28:18.440 --> 0:28:19.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't care. If you're want to offer me ten million.

0:28:20.080 --> 0:28:23.159
<v Speaker 1>I can make that myself. You can kick rocks. The

0:28:23.200 --> 0:28:27.080
<v Speaker 1>better I am to my community, the better my business is.

0:28:27.400 --> 0:28:29.760
<v Speaker 1>And so if you develop your business on that kind

0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:32.760
<v Speaker 1>of foundation, and it might be slow in the beginning.

0:28:32.760 --> 0:28:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Remember I told y'all that I didn't really I got

0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:39.360
<v Speaker 1>to millionaire status. I'm talking about capital liquid millionaire status

0:28:39.400 --> 0:28:43.480
<v Speaker 1>at age thirty seven, but at thirty three I was broke, right,

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:45.480
<v Speaker 1>So it took a long time thirty three was like,

0:28:45.520 --> 0:28:47.680
<v Speaker 1>oh my U's ever gonna thirty four? I started a

0:28:47.680 --> 0:28:50.920
<v Speaker 1>little peak thirty six and then it finally hit. But

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:54.440
<v Speaker 1>you see, it's so much better this way because literally

0:28:54.480 --> 0:28:57.480
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing that I have to say yes to. Nothing.

0:28:57.640 --> 0:29:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I always ask myself, is this an alignment? Isis you

0:29:00.160 --> 0:29:02.000
<v Speaker 1>want to go? Is this good for the audience? Does

0:29:02.040 --> 0:29:05.000
<v Speaker 1>this feel right? I'm not going to sell like someone

0:29:05.120 --> 0:29:06.560
<v Speaker 1>just offer me a ton of money to sell some

0:29:06.680 --> 0:29:10.480
<v Speaker 1>crappy payday loan. It's a different type of payday loan.

0:29:10.520 --> 0:29:12.800
<v Speaker 1>I was like, oh, take this and shove it. Like

0:29:12.920 --> 0:29:15.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, if it knows who you are, they're always

0:29:15.400 --> 0:29:17.440
<v Speaker 1>offered me. I'm telling you now, most of my contracts

0:29:17.480 --> 0:29:20.360
<v Speaker 1>now are six figure contracts, and so I probably say,

0:29:20.400 --> 0:29:23.520
<v Speaker 1>note about seven figures a year, you know. But and

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:26.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm okay with that, you know, doing that because I

0:29:26.160 --> 0:29:28.280
<v Speaker 1>always said the money was I needed enough to be

0:29:28.520 --> 0:29:31.400
<v Speaker 1>safe and secure with my family, and we're here now,

0:29:31.520 --> 0:29:34.640
<v Speaker 1>and so oftentimes I let go of the money just

0:29:34.720 --> 0:29:38.120
<v Speaker 1>to just to make sure that, like you know, I'm

0:29:38.160 --> 0:29:40.640
<v Speaker 1>working from a place of you know, what I really

0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:42.160
<v Speaker 1>believe to be right and true. I want to be

0:29:42.160 --> 0:29:43.800
<v Speaker 1>able to sleep well at night. Like, one of my

0:29:43.880 --> 0:29:46.520
<v Speaker 1>companies make seven figures a year and I don't take

0:29:46.520 --> 0:29:48.240
<v Speaker 1>any money from that. Instead, I use it to hire

0:29:48.280 --> 0:29:50.520
<v Speaker 1>more women that look like me on purpose. And I

0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:52.040
<v Speaker 1>told the team that the other day they're like, I don't,

0:29:52.040 --> 0:29:54.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand. I'm like, I could be making an

0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:57.360
<v Speaker 1>additional an additional million dollars a year and take home

0:29:57.360 --> 0:30:00.720
<v Speaker 1>pay a year, and I have said, noice that because

0:30:00.720 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I want you to be able to work here, because

0:30:02.400 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I know where you were before they mistreated you. I

0:30:04.920 --> 0:30:07.240
<v Speaker 1>know that where you were before they didn't care about

0:30:07.240 --> 0:30:09.479
<v Speaker 1>your your your feedback. I know where you were before

0:30:09.960 --> 0:30:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you know they they took your ideas and pretended it

0:30:12.080 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 1>was theirs. So as a result of that, I will

0:30:15.480 --> 0:30:18.760
<v Speaker 1>relinquish this million dollars a year for my family and I.

0:30:18.840 --> 0:30:21.320
<v Speaker 1>But I expect excellence from you that I want you

0:30:21.400 --> 0:30:23.120
<v Speaker 1>to come to the table with the best that you

0:30:23.160 --> 0:30:25.400
<v Speaker 1>have in you, and I don't. I don't accept any

0:30:25.440 --> 0:30:28.920
<v Speaker 1>excuses for excellence. Excellence just means doing your best, and

0:30:29.000 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 1>so in doing so, there is no brand that could

0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:33.680
<v Speaker 1>come to me that can tep me with anything. I'm like,

0:30:33.720 --> 0:30:35.560
<v Speaker 1>since I say note to a million dollars, but my

0:30:35.560 --> 0:30:37.720
<v Speaker 1>own damn company. I don't give a damn about your

0:30:37.760 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 1>credit card. That's you said it's going to make me rich.

0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm already rich.

0:30:47.600 --> 0:30:50.920
<v Speaker 3>Bye, that's the show.

0:30:57.600 --> 0:31:01.040
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm just on one today because Brand pissed me

0:31:01.080 --> 0:31:02.360
<v Speaker 1>off today and I was just like.

0:31:04.120 --> 0:31:04.200
<v Speaker 3>I.

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Love a Tiffany Brand.

0:31:07.440 --> 0:31:13.120
<v Speaker 3>I got nothing to say. Listen, money is freedom. Don't

0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:16.240
<v Speaker 3>let them tell you that money cannot buy you happiness.

0:31:16.240 --> 0:31:17.680
<v Speaker 3>It can buy you a lot of things that make

0:31:17.720 --> 0:31:19.400
<v Speaker 3>you happy, and one of them is freedom of choice.

0:31:19.400 --> 0:31:22.600
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's what Tiffany is demonstrating. Okay, so

0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:26.000
<v Speaker 3>take your payday loans and your credit cards and be

0:31:26.080 --> 0:31:28.400
<v Speaker 3>gone and shove it.

0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:31.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh that was good, all right?

0:31:31.400 --> 0:31:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Should we do a little.

0:31:32.200 --> 0:31:37.520
<v Speaker 3>Brown boosty breaking a boosty breaky.

0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Now we's time to boost up, break up, boost up,

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:56.960
<v Speaker 1>break all boost oh break boo break? Are you going

0:31:57.000 --> 0:31:58.840
<v Speaker 1>to boost or are you going to break?

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:04.120
<v Speaker 3>Mandy? I am gonna do a boost and a break Okay,

0:32:04.800 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm buying myself time to come up with both of them.

0:32:09.040 --> 0:32:12.520
<v Speaker 1>But look here, I'm trying to think, like I know,

0:32:12.640 --> 0:32:14.320
<v Speaker 1>like I had a boost break, but I forgot in

0:32:14.320 --> 0:32:16.480
<v Speaker 1>my head, in my head, where did it go? I

0:32:16.520 --> 0:32:19.120
<v Speaker 1>will boost for so I don't know. You heard the

0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:22.520
<v Speaker 1>story of that podcast called Call Call Me Daddy, Call

0:32:22.560 --> 0:32:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Her Daddy.

0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:24.760
<v Speaker 2>I've heard of it, but I haven't listened to it.

0:32:25.440 --> 0:32:28.200
<v Speaker 1>So no, like, really this the stories is really interesting

0:32:28.200 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 1>of like what happened? What happened? It was these two

0:32:30.360 --> 0:32:33.280
<v Speaker 1>young women that like, I think it's called Call Me Daddy, Call.

0:32:33.800 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 2>Call Her Daddy.

0:32:34.680 --> 0:32:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I think, so we have this podcast. Well I don't

0:32:37.000 --> 0:32:39.600
<v Speaker 1>have this podcast, but it's called Call Her Daddy. And

0:32:39.920 --> 0:32:42.360
<v Speaker 1>it was just a really interesting story of how it

0:32:42.400 --> 0:32:45.720
<v Speaker 1>all went dune. But so it was these two girls

0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:48.640
<v Speaker 1>that started this podcast. They're you know, one thing you

0:32:48.720 --> 0:32:52.680
<v Speaker 1>learned is that, you know, my my mentor reminds me

0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:56.320
<v Speaker 1>that greatness is polarizing, meaning that they were really outlandish

0:32:56.320 --> 0:32:58.720
<v Speaker 1>and like, you know, crazy while talking about everything, which

0:32:58.760 --> 0:33:04.480
<v Speaker 1>is awesome. And so they partnered with a podcast company

0:33:05.000 --> 0:33:07.680
<v Speaker 1>called Oh you know my brain is really Like, I

0:33:07.680 --> 0:33:10.480
<v Speaker 1>feel like I had something to do about beer their podcast.

0:33:10.040 --> 0:33:13.719
<v Speaker 3>Coming Sarah, Sarah, what podcast company did Call her Daddy?

0:33:15.320 --> 0:33:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Barstool?

0:33:15.840 --> 0:33:17.320
<v Speaker 4>You see, I said beer, But I was like, you

0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:27.000
<v Speaker 4>see how my mom works. Yeah, okay, so call her Daddy.

0:33:27.440 --> 0:33:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Partners on the ride now, I promise, I promise I'm

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:34.240
<v Speaker 1>a Tarnets ride around were going well, get back on

0:33:34.280 --> 0:33:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the track, and so they partnered with Barstool and as

0:33:37.880 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 1>a result, you know, they really blow up. Like they

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:43.000
<v Speaker 1>went from twelve thousand downloads a month to two million,

0:33:43.520 --> 0:33:46.400
<v Speaker 1>and it's doing really well. They decide that they're going

0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:49.600
<v Speaker 1>to renegotiate after a year ne negotiate the terms of

0:33:49.600 --> 0:33:52.560
<v Speaker 1>their contract. They were being paid seventy thousand dollars base

0:33:53.120 --> 0:33:56.800
<v Speaker 1>and then a percentage of merch sales and percentage of ads,

0:33:57.320 --> 0:34:00.800
<v Speaker 1>and so they renegotiate, negotiate, negoti But one of the

0:34:00.800 --> 0:34:05.680
<v Speaker 1>things that they negotiate for is ownership of the IP,

0:34:05.880 --> 0:34:08.319
<v Speaker 1>the intellectual property of Call Her Daddy. And at first

0:34:08.360 --> 0:34:11.799
<v Speaker 1>the answer was no, no, no, no no. But they

0:34:11.840 --> 0:34:13.960
<v Speaker 1>fought for it, and one of the girls, I guess

0:34:14.040 --> 0:34:16.320
<v Speaker 1>she wanted to go a different way, ended up leaving.

0:34:16.600 --> 0:34:19.319
<v Speaker 1>But the girl who stayed, she got her IP, she

0:34:19.440 --> 0:34:22.520
<v Speaker 1>got to keep Call Her Daddy And recently, you know,

0:34:22.560 --> 0:34:26.040
<v Speaker 1>she just got bought by Spotify for sixty million dollars.

0:34:26.760 --> 0:34:29.759
<v Speaker 1>And I guess, really the booster, I know, I guess

0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:32.600
<v Speaker 1>really the boost for me is like the power of ownership.

0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 1>Now you can't always own everything all the time, you know,

0:34:37.400 --> 0:34:41.160
<v Speaker 1>but sometimes creative you know, sometimes when you start in

0:34:41.160 --> 0:34:43.840
<v Speaker 1>a business, sometimes when you're doing whatever it is that

0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:47.320
<v Speaker 1>you're creating, you know, in the beginning, you're so eager

0:34:47.440 --> 0:34:49.520
<v Speaker 1>to make the money or get put on that you

0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:54.279
<v Speaker 1>can easily give away your power by giving away your ownership.

0:34:54.760 --> 0:34:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I remember I read this thing like it was a

0:34:56.640 --> 0:34:58.440
<v Speaker 1>podcast something where Nas was on, and he said one

0:34:58.480 --> 0:35:00.799
<v Speaker 1>of the things that Prince told him was like, own

0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:04.000
<v Speaker 1>your rights, own your publishing, own your There are people

0:35:04.000 --> 0:35:06.440
<v Speaker 1>who don't own those things. From my understanding, like Mary J. Blize,

0:35:06.440 --> 0:35:08.919
<v Speaker 1>for example, as much money as she's made, I read

0:35:08.920 --> 0:35:11.919
<v Speaker 1>somewhere that she still owes the record label twenty five

0:35:11.960 --> 0:35:14.319
<v Speaker 1>million dollars and it's hard for her to make that

0:35:14.400 --> 0:35:17.279
<v Speaker 1>money back because she doesn't own the rights to her

0:35:17.280 --> 0:35:21.160
<v Speaker 1>own songs and things. And so ownership is key because

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:24.720
<v Speaker 1>you can have someone that's not as popular as a Mary,

0:35:25.160 --> 0:35:29.080
<v Speaker 1>but because they have ownership, they are still making more,

0:35:29.680 --> 0:35:33.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, because every dollar they have a greater take

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:35.719
<v Speaker 1>of every dollar that comes in. And so I just

0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:38.319
<v Speaker 1>just was thinking about that, that how important ownership is.

0:35:38.360 --> 0:35:40.879
<v Speaker 1>And with all these new amazing creators that are coming out,

0:35:41.239 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I hope that They're just keeping that in mind that

0:35:43.920 --> 0:35:47.319
<v Speaker 1>like ownership, you're not always able to keep everything. But

0:35:47.360 --> 0:35:51.480
<v Speaker 1>like so, for example, like books, right, so I traditionally published,

0:35:51.560 --> 0:35:54.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't own like I own the basic copyright for

0:35:54.120 --> 0:35:55.880
<v Speaker 1>like the words and things I wrote them, but I

0:35:55.880 --> 0:35:57.839
<v Speaker 1>don't really own the book. Like I can't take this

0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:01.600
<v Speaker 1>book and sell it myself. Penguin owns it. But I

0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:03.640
<v Speaker 1>knew that like that was a trade off for me

0:36:03.680 --> 0:36:05.560
<v Speaker 1>because I knew in order for me to get a

0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:07.560
<v Speaker 1>New York Times bestsellers list and to do what I

0:36:07.600 --> 0:36:09.080
<v Speaker 1>needed to do to take the budget East to the

0:36:09.120 --> 0:36:11.640
<v Speaker 1>next level, I was willing to give that up. But

0:36:11.920 --> 0:36:14.360
<v Speaker 1>I still am able to self publish my own books

0:36:14.360 --> 0:36:16.560
<v Speaker 1>on my own if I decided to move forward. Sorry, Penguin,

0:36:16.640 --> 0:36:18.000
<v Speaker 1>That's what I decided. That's what I'm going to do.

0:36:18.239 --> 0:36:21.520
<v Speaker 1>But I also too. A publishing company had asked to

0:36:21.520 --> 0:36:24.760
<v Speaker 1>buy Molly Moore. I think it was Simon and Schuster.

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:27.040
<v Speaker 1>So they wanted to buy get it with money, but

0:36:27.080 --> 0:36:30.040
<v Speaker 1>they also wanted to buy Molly Moore, and I said no.

0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Matter of fact, I said hell no, because my plans

0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:39.040
<v Speaker 1>for Molly are different. And so if I forecast forward,

0:36:39.200 --> 0:36:44.279
<v Speaker 1>I want to maintain ownership of Molly Moore. And if

0:36:44.320 --> 0:36:46.080
<v Speaker 1>a production company just reached out to buy it for me,

0:36:46.160 --> 0:36:49.120
<v Speaker 1>I said no because I have a longer term, Like

0:36:49.400 --> 0:36:51.600
<v Speaker 1>this book was like I need to give something amazing

0:36:51.640 --> 0:36:53.680
<v Speaker 1>to my audience. Here's a guide. I want to get

0:36:53.680 --> 0:36:55.600
<v Speaker 1>a New York Times bestsellers list. I want to raise

0:36:55.600 --> 0:36:57.360
<v Speaker 1>the profile of budget needs to like, don't play with me.

0:36:57.400 --> 0:37:00.960
<v Speaker 1>We reel out here done, but Molly more is in

0:37:01.040 --> 0:37:03.120
<v Speaker 1>ten years. I want this to be a billion dollar business.

0:37:03.160 --> 0:37:05.279
<v Speaker 1>I want to see her on every streaming platform. I

0:37:05.320 --> 0:37:07.080
<v Speaker 1>want the babies to be wear Molly Moore t shirts

0:37:07.080 --> 0:37:10.480
<v Speaker 1>and Molly Moore shoelaces. That doesn't happen, you know, without

0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:12.319
<v Speaker 1>me attached to it, Like y'all am not gonna make

0:37:12.320 --> 0:37:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Molly Moore happen. And I'm just sitting like at home

0:37:14.640 --> 0:37:17.160
<v Speaker 1>like that used to be me. So just consider that,

0:37:17.239 --> 0:37:22.000
<v Speaker 1>like ownership, ownership, ownership is really it's really critical, especially

0:37:22.000 --> 0:37:24.120
<v Speaker 1>in today's days and time, as you create things on

0:37:24.160 --> 0:37:27.600
<v Speaker 1>different websites and partner with different organizations to try to

0:37:27.640 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 1>maintain as much ownership as possible. So that's my brown boostye.

0:37:32.000 --> 0:37:34.040
<v Speaker 3>Ah, that was a really good one, and it actually

0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:36.160
<v Speaker 3>thank you because it reminded me of a really good

0:37:36.160 --> 0:37:39.239
<v Speaker 3>boost that I could boost. But also as a freelancer

0:37:39.320 --> 0:37:41.760
<v Speaker 3>myself now part of my income.

0:37:41.840 --> 0:37:44.080
<v Speaker 2>I have several streams of income. In one of them is.

0:37:44.560 --> 0:37:47.040
<v Speaker 3>When I want to, I will write articles for other

0:37:47.040 --> 0:37:49.200
<v Speaker 3>websites and even just as a writer. I don't know

0:37:49.200 --> 0:37:51.240
<v Speaker 3>if I should say this or not, but anyway I wrote.

0:37:51.280 --> 0:37:53.240
<v Speaker 3>I wrote a pretty big piece for a pretty big site,

0:37:53.280 --> 0:37:55.560
<v Speaker 3>and I was going to get paid for it. But

0:37:55.600 --> 0:37:57.799
<v Speaker 3>then I saw the contract and I was like, yeah,

0:37:57.800 --> 0:38:00.680
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to sign that and I don't need

0:38:00.680 --> 0:38:04.160
<v Speaker 3>the money, so not going to sign it. And it's

0:38:04.200 --> 0:38:08.719
<v Speaker 3>mine forever, it's not yours. And it's been this ongoing

0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:11.799
<v Speaker 3>thing because the language in these contracts it is just

0:38:11.840 --> 0:38:16.640
<v Speaker 3>like we, I mean, who are these attorneys? We will

0:38:16.800 --> 0:38:20.200
<v Speaker 3>own this an importuity and worldwide, I don't know, in

0:38:20.320 --> 0:38:26.360
<v Speaker 3>all the universnational universe. Yes, these words are ours. It was.

0:38:26.600 --> 0:38:28.480
<v Speaker 3>And meanwhile, I wrote the piece and then I shopped

0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:30.320
<v Speaker 3>it around to different outlets. It wasn't like it was

0:38:30.360 --> 0:38:34.960
<v Speaker 3>commissioned directly from this particular outlet, and I was like, no,

0:38:35.640 --> 0:38:38.239
<v Speaker 3>you can keep the money. And I negotiated like three

0:38:38.280 --> 0:38:41.959
<v Speaker 3>times normally what they would have paid, and I'll take

0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:44.759
<v Speaker 3>the the accolade and the fact that I got my

0:38:44.960 --> 0:38:46.799
<v Speaker 3>piece published on your site, and we'll just call.

0:38:46.719 --> 0:38:47.080
<v Speaker 2>It a day.

0:38:47.920 --> 0:38:50.200
<v Speaker 3>But as a creator, and especially even this we talk

0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:52.400
<v Speaker 3>about TikTok and people creating now, they want to like

0:38:52.560 --> 0:38:54.640
<v Speaker 3>they want there's a there's a business that's trying to

0:38:55.200 --> 0:39:00.200
<v Speaker 3>trademark dances as intellectual property like a chore choreography, because

0:39:00.520 --> 0:39:02.919
<v Speaker 3>a lot of black and brown creators are making these

0:39:03.040 --> 0:39:06.160
<v Speaker 3>huge dances go viral it which has led to songs

0:39:06.200 --> 0:39:08.880
<v Speaker 3>that weren't even Like people are talking about Jason Derulo

0:39:08.960 --> 0:39:11.120
<v Speaker 3>now because he had a TikTok song that one like

0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:14.200
<v Speaker 3>where was he anyway? No shade Jason, and.

0:39:16.640 --> 0:39:18.000
<v Speaker 2>Like we know your name, you did it, you got

0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:18.440
<v Speaker 2>the jingle.

0:39:18.920 --> 0:39:22.960
<v Speaker 3>But as black people and brown people in general, we

0:39:23.120 --> 0:39:25.759
<v Speaker 3>have to, like we have to focus on ownership and

0:39:25.800 --> 0:39:29.200
<v Speaker 3>on that intellectual property and actual tactics that you use

0:39:29.320 --> 0:39:31.440
<v Speaker 3>to protect it. And that will bring me to my

0:39:31.480 --> 0:39:33.560
<v Speaker 3>boost because I was just talking about this with a

0:39:33.560 --> 0:39:36.520
<v Speaker 3>dear friend of ours called Sandy Smith from Yes I

0:39:36.560 --> 0:39:39.840
<v Speaker 3>Am Cheap, Hey Sandy Girl, and I just love Sandy.

0:39:39.960 --> 0:39:42.279
<v Speaker 3>She's a bucketful of sunshine and I don't know how

0:39:42.320 --> 0:39:44.360
<v Speaker 3>she does all the things that she does with the

0:39:44.480 --> 0:39:48.440
<v Speaker 3>Tiny Human and being a landlord and all that. But

0:39:48.880 --> 0:39:51.840
<v Speaker 3>one of her passion projects is the Elevate Money conference,

0:39:52.280 --> 0:39:54.960
<v Speaker 3>which came about I think the first conference was maybe

0:39:55.040 --> 0:39:59.760
<v Speaker 3>last year or the year before, and it's right, and

0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:02.960
<v Speaker 3>she made it happen even through the pandemic. But Elevate

0:40:03.040 --> 0:40:06.640
<v Speaker 3>Money is really supposed to be a safe space for

0:40:06.840 --> 0:40:09.000
<v Speaker 3>black and brown people to get together here from black

0:40:09.040 --> 0:40:13.360
<v Speaker 3>and brown creators and influencers and learn lessons about wealth building,

0:40:13.719 --> 0:40:16.839
<v Speaker 3>creating a business, and being empowered. And this year she

0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:19.160
<v Speaker 3>was supposed to host it and Tulsa, which probably you

0:40:19.239 --> 0:40:22.360
<v Speaker 3>might have heard, supposed to host it and Tulsa. It

0:40:22.440 --> 0:40:23.759
<v Speaker 3>was all set up, it was going to be at

0:40:23.760 --> 0:40:26.960
<v Speaker 3>this amazing location, but then you know, the Delta variant

0:40:27.000 --> 0:40:29.400
<v Speaker 3>came to town and she decided to no longer do

0:40:29.440 --> 0:40:32.120
<v Speaker 3>the in person conference, and in fact, it was canceled altogether.

0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:33.760
<v Speaker 2>But Sandy never.

0:40:33.640 --> 0:40:37.839
<v Speaker 3>Lets projects go, and she she has set such such

0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:40.200
<v Speaker 3>a high bar for herself, so she's decided to turn

0:40:40.239 --> 0:40:43.839
<v Speaker 3>the conference into a free virtual conference. So if you're

0:40:43.880 --> 0:40:46.759
<v Speaker 3>listening to this, you can check out Elevate Money. We'll

0:40:46.760 --> 0:40:48.879
<v Speaker 3>post a link in the show notes and a ten.

0:40:49.000 --> 0:40:51.880
<v Speaker 3>It's going to be a free virtual online conference. I

0:40:51.920 --> 0:40:54.000
<v Speaker 3>don't know none of the details, but I know Sandy

0:40:54.040 --> 0:40:56.200
<v Speaker 3>and I know it's going to be extraordinary. And she

0:40:56.239 --> 0:40:59.000
<v Speaker 3>and I were talking about in one particular part of

0:40:59.040 --> 0:41:03.920
<v Speaker 3>the conference helping people understand how to get things trademarked.

0:41:04.080 --> 0:41:08.520
<v Speaker 3>You know, how to protect your IP girl, and yeah,

0:41:08.960 --> 0:41:11.120
<v Speaker 3>by the way, brand Emission's trademark, you got it, don't

0:41:11.120 --> 0:41:14.719
<v Speaker 3>go for it, you know, and how to own all

0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:17.520
<v Speaker 3>of that. So that's what Thanks for reminding me of that.

0:41:17.600 --> 0:41:20.840
<v Speaker 3>And I'm really happy for Sandy that Elevate Money is happening.

0:41:20.960 --> 0:41:23.200

<v Speaker 3>it out and join for free.

0:41:27.480 --> 0:41:29.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you know we love free. But no, that's true

0:41:29.440 --> 0:41:31.719
<v Speaker 1>because I like one of the best things. I'm like

0:41:31.719 --> 0:41:34.279
<v Speaker 1>a gift someone gave me was I remember it was

0:41:34.320 --> 0:41:37.440
<v Speaker 1>like probably year one or two of the Budjanista and

0:41:37.480 --> 0:41:38.960
<v Speaker 1>they asked me if I had a trademark. I was

0:41:39.000 --> 0:41:40.840
<v Speaker 1>like no, and they were like you shit. I'm like,

0:41:40.880 --> 0:41:42.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't have any money, and I think it was

0:41:42.719 --> 0:41:44.760
<v Speaker 1>like two hundred and seventy five dollars and I remember

0:41:44.760 --> 0:41:47.520
<v Speaker 1>being like, I how any money. He was like put

0:41:47.560 --> 0:41:49.960
<v Speaker 1>it on a credit card. You know, I couldn't even

0:41:49.960 --> 0:41:52.759
<v Speaker 1>afford an attorney. But he had trademarked his name, and

0:41:52.800 --> 0:41:54.600
<v Speaker 1>I was just like, he said come to He was

0:41:54.640 --> 0:41:57.120
<v Speaker 1>a musician, and he was like, come to the studio.

0:41:57.200 --> 0:41:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to walk you through online. So I literally

0:41:59.040 --> 0:42:02.080
<v Speaker 1>sat and did it. Oh my gosh, I it is

0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:03.960
<v Speaker 1>the best thing I ever did, because a year later

0:42:04.040 --> 0:42:07.399
<v Speaker 1>I got a Google alert that said Meet the Budgeonisa,

0:42:08.160 --> 0:42:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and it was like traced back to the Wells Fargo

0:42:10.040 --> 0:42:13.719
<v Speaker 1>website and I was like, oh, Wells Fargo. I wasn't.

0:42:13.760 --> 0:42:16.440
<v Speaker 1>It was this beautiful Asian woman. I'm sure she's super nice.

0:42:16.640 --> 0:42:19.160
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't me. And I was like, oh my god,

0:42:19.160 --> 0:42:21.080
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, oh my god, what do I do?

0:42:21.680 --> 0:42:23.680
<v Speaker 1>And within twenty four hours it was down because clearly

0:42:23.760 --> 0:42:26.040
<v Speaker 1>someone did their googles and found the trademark belonged to it.

0:42:26.440 --> 0:42:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Wah wait, this is my face because I just remember

0:42:29.560 --> 0:42:31.319
<v Speaker 3>what my real break was gonna be and it.

0:42:31.239 --> 0:42:33.880

0:43:50.280 --> 0:43:52.800
<v Speaker 3>day or every other day, they kind of created these

0:43:53.040 --> 0:43:57.160
<v Speaker 3>these carousel posts of PowerPoint slides talking about different issues,

0:43:57.200 --> 0:44:00.160

0:44:00.280 --> 0:44:04.440
<v Speaker 3>social justice, et cetera. And it became wildly popular, like

0:44:04.600 --> 0:44:10.120
<v Speaker 3>three million followers popular. And this author was People were

0:44:10.200 --> 0:44:12.440
<v Speaker 3>joining this page so you want to talk about because

0:44:12.480 --> 0:44:16.560
<v Speaker 3>they thought it was this author. Yes, And it turns out,

0:44:16.600 --> 0:44:19.520
<v Speaker 3>of course, it's run by a white woman whose name

0:44:19.600 --> 0:44:23.040
<v Speaker 3>is Jess. And this came out this past week. I

0:44:23.040 --> 0:44:25.319
<v Speaker 3>don't know if there was a particular incident, because she's

0:44:25.560 --> 0:44:28.319
<v Speaker 3>this controversy's kind of been there, like people have known, hey,

0:44:28.360 --> 0:44:31.840
<v Speaker 3>this is not really a Jama and this is not okay.

0:44:32.280 --> 0:44:35.600
<v Speaker 3>And Ajama got on Instagram and she actually told her

0:44:35.640 --> 0:44:38.440
<v Speaker 3>story of finding out about the account and really just

0:44:38.520 --> 0:44:41.279
<v Speaker 3>kind of tucking it away and just saying, listen, I

0:44:41.280 --> 0:44:43.759
<v Speaker 3>can't do anything about it. I'm just gonna, you know,

0:44:43.880 --> 0:44:46.600
<v Speaker 3>go on my merry way. But because of so much

0:44:46.640 --> 0:44:50.000
<v Speaker 3>backlash and because so many people were really you know,

0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:53.719
<v Speaker 3>fighting for Ajama and wanting her to be you know,

0:44:53.840 --> 0:44:58.279
<v Speaker 3>to have some form of justice. Finally, the Jess, the

0:44:58.400 --> 0:45:01.000
<v Speaker 3>founder of so you want to talk about, she decided

0:45:01.040 --> 0:45:04.920
<v Speaker 3>to rename her handle, so it's a different name handle,

0:45:05.320 --> 0:45:07.719
<v Speaker 3>and she's like, I'm putting my name out there, and

0:45:07.760 --> 0:45:11.080
<v Speaker 3>she had this like very week week disclaimer kind of

0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:14.640
<v Speaker 3>shoved down in her Instagram bio that's like not affiliated

0:45:14.680 --> 0:45:17.080
<v Speaker 3>with a gema, you know, not affiliated with that book.

0:45:17.239 --> 0:45:19.560
<v Speaker 3>And she's but now it's a whole different name, and

0:45:19.600 --> 0:45:22.279
<v Speaker 3>I just thought that that was, yeah, very similar, because

0:45:22.320 --> 0:45:26.760
<v Speaker 3>it's about so often it's like black creators, black artists,

0:45:26.800 --> 0:45:31.759
<v Speaker 3>black writers, black entertainers who create something and it's ours, right,

0:45:32.160 --> 0:45:35.200
<v Speaker 3>and then it becomes you put a white face on it,

0:45:35.239 --> 0:45:39.279
<v Speaker 3>in a white name or a white you know. Oh yes,

0:45:39.640 --> 0:45:43.680
<v Speaker 3>so Lizzo said black people created rock and roll. Okay,

0:45:43.600 --> 0:45:48.120
<v Speaker 3>oh wow, we know please single. Yeah, And it just

0:45:48.200 --> 0:45:50.320
<v Speaker 3>it continues to happen even today.

0:45:50.480 --> 0:45:53.680
<v Speaker 1>And girl takes something that bitcoin. You know that Dallas

0:45:53.680 --> 0:45:55.960
<v Speaker 1>sign b bitcoin. You know, I trademarked that a year

0:45:56.000 --> 0:45:58.719
<v Speaker 1>before bitcoin ever came out, like that Dallas sign B.

0:45:58.800 --> 0:46:01.319
<v Speaker 1>I own that, Yeah, because everybody I see that, I

0:46:01.360 --> 0:46:03.040
<v Speaker 1>think of you, Yeah, because remember it used to be

0:46:03.120 --> 0:46:06.239
<v Speaker 1>in all my stuff and I didn't because I had

0:46:06.239 --> 0:46:09.080
<v Speaker 1>never Bitcoin wasn't a thing. I was like, I literally

0:46:09.120 --> 0:46:11.600
<v Speaker 1>had a dream and in the dream, my sister was

0:46:11.640 --> 0:46:13.399
<v Speaker 1>drinking from a bug and there was a dollar sign

0:46:13.440 --> 0:46:15.319
<v Speaker 1>B on it, and I was like, what do you

0:46:15.360 --> 0:46:17.840
<v Speaker 1>do with my mug? And then I woke up and

0:46:17.880 --> 0:46:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like sleeping on my my parents' couch. I

0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:22.239
<v Speaker 1>was like, ooh, that's my logo dollar sign B. So

0:46:22.320 --> 0:46:24.440
<v Speaker 1>I went, if you go try trade type in dollar

0:46:24.480 --> 0:46:28.120
<v Speaker 1>sign B like it says owned by Tiffany Eliche. I

0:46:28.120 --> 0:46:29.960
<v Speaker 1>still own it. I'm not giving up this, but there

0:46:30.000 --> 0:46:32.520
<v Speaker 1>was nobody to sew because bitcoin's I owned by anyone.

0:46:32.880 --> 0:46:35.520
<v Speaker 1>So it's just really frustrating, you know. Like I was

0:46:35.560 --> 0:46:37.080
<v Speaker 1>just like because I was using it for like a

0:46:37.160 --> 0:46:40.400
<v Speaker 1>year to two years, and then bitcoin came out, someone

0:46:40.400 --> 0:46:42.800
<v Speaker 1>decided this is the artwork for it, and then it

0:46:42.840 --> 0:46:45.480
<v Speaker 1>went crazy, and I just decided, you know, what do

0:46:45.560 --> 0:46:48.239
<v Speaker 1>I do. Do I fight against this like machine thing,

0:46:48.520 --> 0:46:52.120
<v Speaker 1>or do I say that the real the real power

0:46:52.160 --> 0:46:54.440
<v Speaker 1>is in my name budgetista, you know, And so I

0:46:54.520 --> 0:46:56.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of like let it go. But yeah, that sucks.

0:46:56.480 --> 0:46:59.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean I own that, I own that Xala slime

0:46:59.239 --> 0:47:00.120
<v Speaker 1>b baby.

0:47:01.400 --> 0:47:05.360
<v Speaker 3>I mean that sounds like a whole like saga for

0:47:05.400 --> 0:47:07.759
<v Speaker 3>another day, like finding that no one can figure out

0:47:07.760 --> 0:47:11.280
<v Speaker 3>who created a bitcoin, But in Ejama's case, at least

0:47:11.640 --> 0:47:13.400
<v Speaker 3>you know she has. I mean, I don't think it'll

0:47:13.480 --> 0:47:16.520
<v Speaker 3>it can't undo because her social media following is a

0:47:16.520 --> 0:47:18.799
<v Speaker 3>lot less and you know how many people follow So

0:47:18.840 --> 0:47:21.279
<v Speaker 3>you want to talk about thinking that it was because

0:47:21.280 --> 0:47:23.160
<v Speaker 3>they read the book, you know, And that just pisses

0:47:23.239 --> 0:47:26.359
<v Speaker 3>me off, really does. And I'm sure just said all

0:47:26.360 --> 0:47:28.399
<v Speaker 3>the right things about how sorry she is, et cetera,

0:47:28.440 --> 0:47:33.239
<v Speaker 3>et cetera, but it's still that privilege of just just

0:47:33.320 --> 0:47:35.840
<v Speaker 3>even casually, Oh, I didn't know any better. I just

0:47:35.880 --> 0:47:37.920
<v Speaker 3>thought it was a good name. But to not have

0:47:37.960 --> 0:47:39.719
<v Speaker 3>to think about that, and to take something else that

0:47:39.840 --> 0:47:41.520
<v Speaker 3>was the fruit of someone else's work and then turn

0:47:41.560 --> 0:47:47.080
<v Speaker 3>it into your own. That is hmm, colonialism, white supremacy, racism.

0:47:47.400 --> 0:47:47.879
<v Speaker 1>Every day.

0:47:47.920 --> 0:47:50.600
<v Speaker 3>We're living it even now. So to Tiffany's point, yes,

0:47:50.800 --> 0:47:53.320
