You once you recognize that, you know, 173 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: you had to plan for that. So as each situation 174 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: happened emotionally, what did that do for you? The the 175 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: motivation because you know you have kids over here, okay, 176 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: and normally when you're pregnant, you're bringing one child additional 177 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: child in the world. Do you bringing multiple How does that? 178 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,200 Speaker 1: How do you balance that conversation Karen as a mother 179 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: in regards to these additional kids that you bring on 180 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 1: and being able to maintain that that love balance it is. 181 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: That's that's a really good question. You know, I first 182 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: start with this was a um you know, we asked 183 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: when three When I sat down, I had that first 184 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: you know, initial conversation, and the question is asked, how 185 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: many children you want? You know, it was how many? Ever, God, 186 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 1: how many God blesses me to have. And I feel 187 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: as though with each pregnancy and when the multiples especially 188 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: started to come along, we were extremely grateful, but we 189 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: also looked at it as God them and this is 190 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: we want to make sure that they contribute to society. 191 00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: Want to raise them in a way where they are 192 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 1: positively contributing into society. So the justice that we make is, 193 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: you know what God gave you, all gave you us 194 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: um for a reason, and he knew that He knew 195 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 1: that you were you were all well all tell our mostles. 196 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: You were so special that God made a partner here 197 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: on a higher accord. And you have to answer that call. 198 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: And it's our job to nurture you and to figure 199 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: that out, and that they helped find your place and 200 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: like you said, your purpose and your gifts, and we 201 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,719 Speaker 1: know they go by without reminding them that you are 202 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: here for a reason. Let's let's find your special gift 203 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: and let's share it with the world right and then 204 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 1: being the responsibility because you know that then you know 205 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: that the era we live in and you know, look 206 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: at television, the George Floyd's situation, the pandemic and and 207 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: this is not the world we grew up in. Okay, technology, 208 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 1: your children and they don't you have to tell about 209 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: the version B to keep them off their cell phone. 210 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

So Derek as the 212 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 1: as as as the man as to being able to 213 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: you know, certain things you can't control. What what as 214 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: as as the father, what responsibility in this new era? 215 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: Because you got fourteen up them. Okay.

That's 224 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: what I got that on right now, my brother. That's 225 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 1: what they had is on right now? Okay, hery, but no, 226 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: everything right on. Um. It's very important that we set 227 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,520 Speaker 1: the tone and the standard tone and the one of 228 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: the very first things we do with all of our 229 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: child as we remind them of their importance and we 230 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: let so that we validate them. Only topic can validate them. 231 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: No one in the street, no one outside of this 232 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: home has the authority to validate them. That's one. And 233 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: when we validate them, we validate them with greatness. Uh. 234 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: And in order for us to change the trajectory in 235 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: which we see as some of the things go right 236 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: now within the world, we have to set a standard 237 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: of greatness in the mind of our youth, because once 238 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: that standard has been properly placed, they won't be so 239 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 1: quick to throw their lives away. But something that appears 240 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: to be great in that moment. That's one of the 241 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: key things is having something worth having something worth fighting for. 242 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: Will were the likely prevent you from making a very 243 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 1: bad decision without right You know.

And we definitely let our children know 331 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,880 Speaker 1: that just because one person is doing something doesn't mean 332 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 1: that you get to do something else, Like we have 333 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: to find you know, they're saying, like how you said earlier, 334 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: you know what this one is trying to drive? I 335 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 1: would to get understand when's right when you're not ready yet, 336 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: You're not ready due to various reasons that we explain 337 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: next to them, and it's it goes back to read 338 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: directing them about what they are, you know, what they 339 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,679 Speaker 1: should be doing. What this should be learning and just 340 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: nurturing special talents that they have, you know, Darien and 341 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: of the age where she is, you know, eager to 342 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 1: learn to drive, and that's what Poppy and I are 343 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:19,680 Speaker 1: going to be doing to make sure she learns. And 344 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: when you get to that point, we'll also help you, um, 345 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,719 Speaker 1: you know, get your driver's from middle license on how 346 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: that is at that time. But meantime, let's focus on 347 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 1: something else right now. And so you know, we made 348 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: sure we we we close that up real quick with that. 349 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 1: Oh well, they get to do it, okay, So she 350 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: got that tone, don't she heard it?

Now, let's return to Money Making Conversations 353 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 1: Masterclass with Rashan McDonald. This is TV, so there's entertainment, 354 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 1: there's editing. You know, people create situations, but the bottom 355 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: line is just being making sure your your kids don't 356 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: get damaged by the process. You know, this is you 357 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:12,879 Speaker 1: know that that's the key because like I will tell you, 358 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: they can stop to show the bar, you know, but 359 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: you still gotta be great parents. You still got to 360 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: provide for them. And and that's what I love about 361 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: the show because this is not this is something, this 362 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 1: is a tool. And uh show people that they can parents. 363 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 1: The one thing that I wanted to talk to people 364 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: who hadn't saw the show, and you should watch the show, 365 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: tell them how you you know they have the chores 366 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 1: with the kids, how you have the scheduling, the mills 367 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: and everything. So they get a sense of the level 368 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: of professionalism that goes into because this is this is 369 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: a job. Okay, this is a job. Don't get a twiction. Now, 370 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: you can't come in there and problem with fourteen kids. 371 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: You can't problem four teen kids. And so because if 372 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: they do with the kids, to see it that the 373 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: kids are smart. They see things that you remember, things 374 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: they you may have thought they didn't even see. And 375 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: so how does how does the chore, the chores and happen, 376 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 1: and how does the whole process of the meals and 377 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: getting them up and getting them ready work Because like 378 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: you said, you have different age groups, so different age 379 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: group you have to treat them all differently. Yes, um, 380 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: so mommy works with getting them up in the morning. Again, 381 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: mommy does the homeschooling. So she worked up setting that up, 382 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: and then I'm the cook in the in the house, 383 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:32,120 Speaker 1: so I'll start getting their breakfast together and their lunch 384 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: and of course dinner. But of course I'm doing it, 385 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: you know as a day progressive and and every child, 386 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 1: every human being in this house has a responsibility to 387 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 1: the house. No free ride, um. And that's so many, 388 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: many many reasons why we do that. Because we're teaching 389 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 1: them how to work with the team, and we are 390 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: their first team. So saying that even the younger babies 391 00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: will go put trash and you know something in the track, 392 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: get a pull up where everyone is doing something and 393 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: it creates that karaterie amongst the family. And so there's 394 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: so many different levels to this thing. I mean this 395 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: this conversation is not even long enough for us to 396 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: have it for me to catch you up on all 397 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 1: the things that we do. But mommy has a great system. 398 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:22,679 Speaker 1: I just um, you know, they're home school to do 399 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: a wonderful home school blended program. So there everyone is, 400 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: you know, up by seven thirty um, in front of 401 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: their uh laptop.

And so when we try to do as 406 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 1: much as we can throughout the day and coordinate effect 407 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: of communication, um, texting each other, Hey I got disappointment, 408 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,719 Speaker 1: I got that one or this one. You know, we're 409 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: constantly talking about that and then um, we try to 410 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,199 Speaker 1: have a little meat time at night, which ends up 411 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: probably watching us the television news watching us. But and 412 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: we just try to get that that time like that. 413 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: You threw that in, y'all just and fell asleep in 414 00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 1: front of television. See I do that little watching us. 415 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 1: I do that. Look, that's that's a grown folks were 416 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 1: tied line watching us, news watching us. Don't care, don't try. 417 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: I'm an old school care you can't slip them lives 418 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: past the old school and like me now news watching us. 419 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: We know we'll be tried. But wake up old school, 420 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: be wake up, just the flag and be on back 421 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: in the day in the sixties. You know. One of 422 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: the one of the key promotional moments of that you 423 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 1: Guys Go Move is promoting the fact that moving to 424 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: South Carolina, which I love South Carolina, by the way, 425 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,200 Speaker 1: Charles to South Carolina is one of my favorite city 426 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 1: and low country everybody good food, good people, good atmosphere, 427 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,119 Speaker 1: and that it was that a played part or was 428 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: it three years ago? Was that a played decision to 429 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: move or how did that come about? H Well, I 430 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 1: lost my grandmother. UM. I lost my grandmother and my 431 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,720 Speaker 1: uncle within six months time period and COVID and that 432 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: was just a lot. And you already know when someone 433 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: passes as a way of course it you know, death 434 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,359 Speaker 1: mix the living, reflect on their life and the life. 435 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 1: And so when that happened, I had a conversation with 436 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: Driko and Um just talked to him and let them 437 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: know that, you know, we're far away. My children don't 438 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 1: really know a lot of my side of the family, 439 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: UM due to the fact that we lived so far away, 440 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't mind moving closer home, but it had 441 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 1: to make sense. So that's when I, you know, brought 442 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: about the business um idea to Driko and Um and 443 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 1: we just started talking about it. And Drico, who's a 444 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: phenomenal husband, I had a recent stroke scare on last 445 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 1: season and he was like, you know, whatever you want 446 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: to do, baby, I'll do it. You know, It's just 447 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,400 Speaker 1: one of those those moments where we're like, oh my God, 448 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,120 Speaker 1: think God, wasn't a stroke and um ended up being 449 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: a muscle spasm and talking about that, and that's how 450 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: it came about, you know, just do we move back 451 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: home or how do we do this right? And and 452 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 1: then when you make it a move because you know 453 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: you're still these are decisions they made together, but they 454 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: still impact you because they make your mind role because 455 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: that wasn't a part of your process, because you know, 456 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: you carry me in a planners. You know, we're playing 457 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: stuff and you know it's like driving with no direction. 458 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 1: We'll just keep driving and try to get there. And 459 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: so so when his plan in his mind, he got 460 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 1: a plan. So she brought this plan to you. How 461 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: did you you know, processing in your brain and said 462 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,679 Speaker 1: this this is something that good for the entire family. 463 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: Is something we had to do because this is the 464 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: woman I loved and and the and the mother my 465 00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: fourteen kids. Absolutely so, Um, that's a very good question. 466 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: One of the things one of my makers terms of course, 467 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: as you just say this mother of my children, and 468 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: as her husband, I have a respond to listen to 469 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 1: what you know she wants to do by to put 470 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: it in a in a forum that works for everyone, right. 471 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: So but at the same time, you know, we haven't 472 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: pushed back from you know, some of the other family members, 473 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 1: like some of the children said, I have Eric and Gig, 474 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 1: they're not really into doing it. So the job is 475 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: trying to find that happy spot in the middle. And 476 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: then remember I'm a businessman, so I'm an investor. That's 477 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: how comoy And so when she mentioned it, I thought 478 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: it was a very good idea from a financial perspective. 479 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: If we're able to secure the financial backing and we're 480 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: able to funding from the right investors, I could see 481 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,159 Speaker 1: it being very lucrative. So for me, I was torn 482 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: with I want to stay here in Vegas, but this 483 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: is a very lucrative opportunity for us to to to 484 00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: to create something great for our family. And I love 485 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: her for having such a great idea. So of course 486 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: it's battling, and that's what you're gonna see is the 487 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 1: battle between I want to do it for the financial 488 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: freedom that it would give us, but time I'm torn 489 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: between one of the state in Vegas, myself plus the 490 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,400 Speaker 1: rest of the family want to stay here and we'll 491 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: be able to find enough financial securing or backing to 492 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 1: make such a thing happen. So there's a lot that 493 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 1: has to get figured out that we still have not 494 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: figured out.
