Speaker 2: Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

17
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 3: Now, I got a question of that for all three

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: of you, because this is you know, I have battles

19
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 3: with this sometimes where I had a teammate. His name

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,639
Speaker 3: was Andrew Bogut, and he and I have gotten really close.

21
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 3: And I learned this from my mother. You know I

22
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 3: did it.

23
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 4: I wrote a book, The Six Man and go by

24
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 4: that if you haven't.

25
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 5: Read it on Amazon right now.

26
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 4: I wasn't.

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 3: I never planned on saying that, to be honest, but

28
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 3: my mother taught me at a young age. I had

29
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: a story in there where my mother had two voices

30
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: and I said this to it one time.

31
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 4: She looked at me crazy. I was like, Mom, when

32
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 4: you have on makeup, you're.

33
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 3: Nice, and when you don't have your makeup, I think

34
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get a whooping at any given moment. My

35
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 3: mom is six foot tall, so I was scared of

36
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 3: her until I was like fifteen, like frightened. And she

37
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 3: had two voices though, you know, she had the voice

38
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: at home, and then we went out to work, she

39
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 3: had the other voice. And I think as African Americans,

40
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: we all have that. You got to switch it up

41
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: and the cold switch and thank you. And so Andrew

42
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: Boget was he said to me, He's like, Hundre, why

43
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 3: do you talk to like your black teammates and then

44
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: you talk different when you're talking to like, you know,

45
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: white people.

46
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 4: And I couldn't.

47
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: I couldn't quite explain it to him, but I was

48
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 3: trying to explain to him, like my mother when we

49
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: went to go she.

50
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 4: Was on the phone.

51
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: I remember the phone conversation talking to this guy about

52
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 3: a house rental.

53
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 4: We used to rent the small two bedroom apartment.

54
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: Like I went in there like maybe ten years ago,

55
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 3: and like I'm like in there like this and I'm

56
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 3: looking at I'm like, how did my brother and I

57
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: how do we live in this space together?

58
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 4: You know, he's the same height as me.

59
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 3: And the guys approved the rental, like, yes, it's available

60
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 3: to you. She took my brother and myself with her

61
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 3: to see this, to get the house, and so we

62
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: pulled up knocking on the door. He answered the door.

63
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 3: It's like, canna help you. She was like, yes, I'm

64
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: the lady you spoke to on the phone, but her

65
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: voice he couldn't he couldn't tell.

66
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 4: What it was.

67
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: The house is not available. So from that moment, like

68
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: I understood, like how the world works, Like whoa And

69
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 3: I'm like nine, nine years old? Like who understands that

70
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 3: at nine years old? And like it's just like what

71
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 3: you're saying is like how low can you go? When

72
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: you I mean, what can you lose when you don't

73
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 3: have anything to lose? And so that leads me to

74
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 3: now I still have to maneuver how I speak. I

75
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 3: have to be PC more PC in some places. You know,

76
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 3: I can turn it down to other places. Even when

77
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,679
Speaker 3: we speak, you know, he's always saying, I want to

78
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 3: see that springfielder in you. But for three of you,

79
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: you know, this is my question. You know, the higher

80
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: you keep moving up, you're going to open doors that

81
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: you know you've never been in before, or doors we've

82
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: never been in before. Like I'm thinking, you know, we're

83
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 3: seeing entertainers into these billionaire realms and they have to

84
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: maneuver different.

85
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 4: You know, we're in this room.

86
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: We don't have a the black Elon Musk whatever you

87
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: want to call it, or the Zuckerberg Like when are

88
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: we going to have our own tech companies that are

89
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: you know, trillion dollar market caps?

90
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 4: But we're inching closer.

91
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 3: And so as you move up, you say you want

92
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: to stay yourself, like we always want to stay ourselves.

93
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: But are you thinking about how you plan on maneuvering

94
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 3: once you get into certain places, and like, what's your

95
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: thoughts on it?

96
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 4: I think the only thing I can change.

97
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 6: Is like I probably curse less in certain places, but

98
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 6: that's just the truth. But like anything else, because you know,

99
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 6: sometimes you might walk in the rooms and you might

100
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 6: be like, man, am I am I sure I'm supposed

101
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 6: to be here? And one thing always says, like I've

102
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 6: been told, it's look for the signs. And when you

103
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 6: talk to other people, shout out to everybody. You guys

104
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 6: are very talented, accomplished people, and so am I. And

105
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 6: like when you talk to other people, you see the

106
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 6: confidence the individuals have and sit in front of you

107
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 6: have and all the things they can do, and it's like, okay,

108
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 6: you guys are able to do that. You're able to

109
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 6: do Like you said, what I was able to do

110
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 6: is one in a million, and you know, you can

111
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 6: be a teacher and be a lot of different things.

112
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 6: And it's like I try to find, you know, the

113
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 6: one little you know, spec that I can take to

114
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 6: really build from. So when I sit there and I see,

115
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 6: you know, great people speak with confidence, I'm like, well,

116
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 6: I came from a situation of you know, poverty where

117
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 6: you know, single parent, wasn't supposed to make it out,

118
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 6: wasn't supposed to be in this situation, I was able

119
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 6: to do it with you know, a tenth of a chance.

120
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 6: So every time I look there, I'm like, all right,

121
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 6: if these people can do it, I can leave here

122
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 6: and do it. Because I've done some amazing stuff. Then

123
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 6: most people can't even fathom. We talked about a lot

124
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 6: of situations, even just for career or like mistakes. It's like,

125
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 6: you're worry about how people judge you. But a lot

126
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 6: of people stopped their mission a long long time ago

127
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 6: and just went to the sideline and started pointing like, yo,

128
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 6: that ain't him. And it's like, no, I'm your superior,

129
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 6: I'm him. Worry about yourself, you know what I mean.

130
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 6: And then from there I move on and just keep going.

131
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 4: But you know, I.

132
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 6: Gotta keep it. Dre does a great job of smoothing

133
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 6: it and out, but my mission, my delivery, can be

134
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 6: a little bit more aggressive. But I definitely earn earn

135
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 6: the right to know I'm in that room and gain

136
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 6: confidence from comprehending that if you can do great things,

137
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 6: I can do great things. And I take it from there.

138
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you spot on with the confidence and

139
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 7: Drake that story you told about your mother, it hit

140
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 7: me dead in the heart because I remember calling my dad.

141
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 4: I work. My parents are from Jamaica straw.

142
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, now then we said that, now that's not

143
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 7: the way. So I would call him, and you know

144
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 7: that he has a he has a heavy patois at dialect.

145
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 4: But that's changed over the years.

146
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 7: When I would call him, he worked in Manhattan at corporate,

147
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 7: and I told the story. I really never know what

148
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 7: he did, but I would call him and he would

149
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 7: answer it, and my brothers used to laugh, I'll do

150
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 7: it for y'all. He'd be like hello.

151
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 4: I'd be like that, it's me.

152
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 7: And then you know, he would talk to me in

153
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 7: his regular voice. And when I'll call my mom, she couldn't.

154
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 7: She never did it. But it used to irk me then,

155
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 7: but it irks me even more so now. It's like

156
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 7: somebody calls the house. He'll do that, And it's because

157
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 7: I'm fighting for him to never have.

Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

199
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

202

Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

203
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,640

00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home

205

206
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: Do what's right, leave now. Under President Trump America's laws,

207

Speaker 1: border and families will.

208
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 2: Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

209
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,440
Speaker 7: Right as the same guy that's going to sit on

210
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 7: CNBC or Good Morning America Bloomberg, same guy that goes

211
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 7: through the breakfast club with Joe Budden, I'm able to.

212
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 4: Change the conversation.

213
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 7: The conversation has changed, the information changes, but the person

214
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 7: ever changes. And so we're comfortable in the barbershop, or

215
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 7: we're comfortable right here in a business school because we

216
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 7: trust and we're confident in what we know. And that's

217
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 7: the most important thing. I think a lot of times

218
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 7: people feel intimidated because they don't know what they're talking about, right,

219
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 7: And so that's our thing, is like I'm a constant learner.

220
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 7: So every day, like I told you, I just read

221
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 7: the Wall Street Journal before I got here. Let's have

222
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 7: a conversation, right, I'm gonna be part of the conversation

223
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 7: because it's my point. I make it my point to

224
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 7: I don't ever want to walk into a room where

225
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 7: I'm gonna feel like.

226
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 4: I don't feel confident. Right, We sat down.

227
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 7: In some procedures rooms over the past month and it

228
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 7: was like, I feel like, yeah, we supposed to. We've

229
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 7: earned every aspect of respect and determination and dedication to

230
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 7: be in these rooms. So it starts with the confidence,

231
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 7: but it also goes into that part of having an education,

232
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 7: the feeling like you know what I belong.

233
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 4: I want to answer this. I'll try to speed it up.

234
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 4: But two parts.

235
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 5: So I never really had to worry about coast. I

236
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 5: grew up radical so and I never had a job,

237
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 5: so I never really had to worry about code switching

238
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 5: because you only cod switch when you're not in a

239
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 5: position of power. Elon Muskin curse on TV and it's okay,

240
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 5: that's a fact.

241
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 7: So, but that they got fingersnaps on that joint, that

242
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,880
Speaker 7: was crazyssance.

243
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 5: But what I did realize when so when I was

244
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 5: working as a financial advisor in my office, you know,

245
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 5: everybody in my office was pretty much older white man.

246
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 5: And in the beginning part of like the training, they

247
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 5: will make you watch videos of yourself like we have

248
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 5: like a practice sale, and and I never really realized

249
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 5: that I actually had a New York accent until I

250
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 5: actually watched myself speak, and then then I started to

251
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 5: realize it. And I kind of became a little self

252
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 5: conscious of how I spoke because I know that I

253
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 5: didn't have the best the best diction. I know that

254
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 5: you know, I had an accent, and I didn't sound

255
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 5: like anybody else in the office. But I realized that

256
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 5: what I thought might have been a disadvantage was actually

257
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 5: a superpower. And that's actually helped us is that there's

258
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 5: millions of people that actually talk like I talk and

259
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 5: relate to how I like communicate as opposed to how

260
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 5: somebody else communicates. Those people were left out of the

261
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 5: conversation for a long period of time. So never run

262
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 5: away from who you are. Embrace who you are, because

263
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 5: that's actually a superpower. Now, you do have to be intelligent,

264
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 5: and it is important to have a strong mastery of

265
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 5: the language that you speak. So you know, it's like

266
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 5: you don't wear a jumpsuit to a wedding. It's just

267
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 5: common sense. So how you communicate in a barbershop might

268
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 5: not be how you community said.

269
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 6: I don't know.

270
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 4: You're talking about the Batman too, that Jaden.

271
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 5: Will you know it's I think it's just a matter

272
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 5: of just knowing how to communicate properly, not necessarily cold switching.

273
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 5: I don't like cold switching. I'm not I'll never cod switch.

274
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 5: But Steve Stouts told us something that was extremely important.

275
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 5: I think that this has been the key to earn

276
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 5: your Leasha's success. It's the thinnest slice strategy. When you're black,

277
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 5: you have to deal with a variety of different things

278
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,320
Speaker 5: that other people don't have to deal with it don't

279
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 5: worry about. So for us, we walk a very thin

280
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 5: line because most people that are on TV that are

281
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 5: communicating finances that are black are They're not relatable to

282
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 5: the majority of black people right, how they talk, how

283
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 5: they look, whatever. And then there's a variety of different

284
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 5: people in our culture of hip hop that aren't taken

285
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 5: serious in the business world. Right. So we have to

286
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 5: be articulate enough to be respected at the highest levels

287
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 5: of finance to be here, right, but we also have

288
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,320
Speaker 5: to be edgy enough to still be likable, appealable and

289
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 5: relatable to the masses. That's extremely difficult. Very few people

290
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 5: have been able to pull that one off, and that's

291
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 5: something that we do. This is just a blessing that

292
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 5: we've been blessed with. But this is something that when

293
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 5: you're thinking about you know your pathway forward. It's important

294
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 5: because a lot of times when we get isolated in

295
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 5: circles that we're in, but we can never forget about

296
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 5: the overarching theme of black people. And no matter how

297
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 5: good we're doing individually, nobody is successful if the vast

298
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 5: majority people are unsuccessful and the vast majority of people

299
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 5: are struggling. So it's important to keep relatability. It's important

300
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 5: to be able to communicate to the masses while still

301
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 5: having your integrity and being able to up the ladder.

302
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 5: Like I said, Elon Muster doesn't have to worry about that.

303
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 5: Mark Zuckerberg doesn't have to worry about that. They can

304
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 5: just communicate and they just live freely. They don't have

305
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 5: to worry about street credibility. They don't have to.

306
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 4: But we do.

307
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 6: Right.

308
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 5: So this is a very interesting conversation that you just

309
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 5: brought up. But I just feel like, you know, in

310
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 5: the world of media and communications and just everything, it's

311
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 5: important that people have other people to look up to.

312

315
