Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
Speaker 1: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States
Speaker 1: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
Speaker 1: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
Speaker 1: are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly
Speaker 1: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will
Speaker 1: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
Speaker 1: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
Speaker 1: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
Speaker 1: border and families will.
Speaker 2: Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker 3: Now, I got a question of that for all three
Speaker 3: of you, because this is you know, I have battles
Speaker 3: with this sometimes where I had a teammate. His name
Speaker 3: was Andrew Bogut, and he and I have gotten really close.
Speaker 3: And I learned this from my mother. You know I
Speaker 3: did it.
Speaker 4: I wrote a book, The Six Man and go by
Speaker 4: that if you haven't.
Speaker 5: Read it on Amazon right now.
Speaker 4: I wasn't.
Speaker 3: I never planned on saying that, to be honest, but
Speaker 3: my mother taught me at a young age. I had
Speaker 3: a story in there where my mother had two voices
Speaker 3: and I said this to it one time.
Speaker 4: She looked at me crazy. I was like, Mom, when
Speaker 4: you have on makeup, you're.
Speaker 3: Nice, and when you don't have your makeup, I think
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get a whooping at any given moment. My
Speaker 3: mom is six foot tall, so I was scared of
Speaker 3: her until I was like fifteen, like frightened. And she
Speaker 3: had two voices though, you know, she had the voice
Speaker 3: at home, and then we went out to work, she
Speaker 3: had the other voice. And I think as African Americans,
Speaker 3: we all have that. You got to switch it up
Speaker 3: and the cold switch and thank you. And so Andrew
Speaker 3: Boget was he said to me, He's like, Hundre, why
Speaker 3: do you talk to like your black teammates and then
Speaker 3: you talk different when you're talking to like, you know,
Speaker 3: white people.
Speaker 4: And I couldn't.
Speaker 3: I couldn't quite explain it to him, but I was
Speaker 3: trying to explain to him, like my mother when we
Speaker 3: went to go she.
Speaker 4: Was on the phone.
Speaker 3: I remember the phone conversation talking to this guy about
Speaker 3: a house rental.
Speaker 4: We used to rent the small two bedroom apartment.
Speaker 3: Like I went in there like maybe ten years ago,
Speaker 3: and like I'm like in there like this and I'm
Speaker 3: looking at I'm like, how did my brother and I
Speaker 3: how do we live in this space together?
Speaker 4: You know, he's the same height as me.
Speaker 3: And the guys approved the rental, like, yes, it's available
Speaker 3: to you. She took my brother and myself with her
Speaker 3: to see this, to get the house, and so we
Speaker 3: pulled up knocking on the door. He answered the door.
Speaker 3: It's like, canna help you. She was like, yes, I'm
Speaker 3: the lady you spoke to on the phone, but her
Speaker 3: voice he couldn't he couldn't tell.
Speaker 4: What it was.
Speaker 3: The house is not available. So from that moment, like
Speaker 3: I understood, like how the world works, Like whoa And
Speaker 3: I'm like nine, nine years old? Like who understands that
Speaker 3: at nine years old? And like it's just like what
Speaker 3: you're saying is like how low can you go? When
Speaker 3: you I mean, what can you lose when you don't
Speaker 3: have anything to lose? And so that leads me to
Speaker 3: now I still have to maneuver how I speak. I
Speaker 3: have to be PC more PC in some places. You know,
Speaker 3: I can turn it down to other places. Even when
Speaker 3: we speak, you know, he's always saying, I want to
Speaker 3: see that springfielder in you. But for three of you,
Speaker 3: you know, this is my question. You know, the higher
Speaker 3: you keep moving up, you're going to open doors that
Speaker 3: you know you've never been in before, or doors we've
Speaker 3: never been in before. Like I'm thinking, you know, we're
Speaker 3: seeing entertainers into these billionaire realms and they have to
Speaker 3: maneuver different.
Speaker 4: You know, we're in this room.
Speaker 3: We don't have a the black Elon Musk whatever you
Speaker 3: want to call it, or the Zuckerberg Like when are
Speaker 3: we going to have our own tech companies that are
Speaker 3: you know, trillion dollar market caps?
Speaker 4: But we're inching closer.
Speaker 3: And so as you move up, you say you want
Speaker 3: to stay yourself, like we always want to stay ourselves.
Speaker 3: But are you thinking about how you plan on maneuvering
Speaker 3: once you get into certain places, and like, what's your
Speaker 3: thoughts on it?
Speaker 4: I think the only thing I can change.
Speaker 6: Is like I probably curse less in certain places, but
Speaker 6: that's just the truth. But like anything else, because you know,
Speaker 6: sometimes you might walk in the rooms and you might
Speaker 6: be like, man, am I am I sure I'm supposed
Speaker 6: to be here? And one thing always says, like I've
Speaker 6: been told, it's look for the signs. And when you
Speaker 6: talk to other people, shout out to everybody. You guys
Speaker 6: are very talented, accomplished people, and so am I. And
Speaker 6: like when you talk to other people, you see the
Speaker 6: confidence the individuals have and sit in front of you
Speaker 6: have and all the things they can do, and it's like, okay,
Speaker 6: you guys are able to do that. You're able to
Speaker 6: do Like you said, what I was able to do
Speaker 6: is one in a million, and you know, you can
Speaker 6: be a teacher and be a lot of different things.
Speaker 6: And it's like I try to find, you know, the
Speaker 6: one little you know, spec that I can take to
Speaker 6: really build from. So when I sit there and I see,
Speaker 6: you know, great people speak with confidence, I'm like, well,
Speaker 6: I came from a situation of you know, poverty where
Speaker 6: you know, single parent, wasn't supposed to make it out,
Speaker 6: wasn't supposed to be in this situation, I was able
Speaker 6: to do it with you know, a tenth of a chance.
Speaker 6: So every time I look there, I'm like, all right,
Speaker 6: if these people can do it, I can leave here
Speaker 6: and do it. Because I've done some amazing stuff. Then
Speaker 6: most people can't even fathom. We talked about a lot
Speaker 6: of situations, even just for career or like mistakes. It's like,
Speaker 6: you're worry about how people judge you. But a lot
Speaker 6: of people stopped their mission a long long time ago
Speaker 6: and just went to the sideline and started pointing like, yo,
Speaker 6: that ain't him. And it's like, no, I'm your superior,
Speaker 6: I'm him. Worry about yourself, you know what I mean.
Speaker 6: And then from there I move on and just keep going.
Speaker 4: But you know, I.
Speaker 6: Gotta keep it. Dre does a great job of smoothing
Speaker 6: it and out, but my mission, my delivery, can be
Speaker 6: a little bit more aggressive. But I definitely earn earn
Speaker 6: the right to know I'm in that room and gain
Speaker 6: confidence from comprehending that if you can do great things,
Speaker 6: I can do great things. And I take it from there.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you spot on with the confidence and
Speaker 7: Drake that story you told about your mother, it hit
Speaker 7: me dead in the heart because I remember calling my dad.
Speaker 4: I work. My parents are from Jamaica straw.
Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, now then we said that, now that's not
Speaker 7: the way. So I would call him, and you know
Speaker 7: that he has a he has a heavy patois at dialect.
Speaker 4: But that's changed over the years.
Speaker 7: When I would call him, he worked in Manhattan at corporate,
Speaker 7: and I told the story. I really never know what
Speaker 7: he did, but I would call him and he would
Speaker 7: answer it, and my brothers used to laugh, I'll do
Speaker 7: it for y'all. He'd be like hello.
Speaker 4: I'd be like that, it's me.
Speaker 7: And then you know, he would talk to me in
Speaker 7: his regular voice. And when I'll call my mom, she couldn't.
Speaker 7: She never did it. But it used to irk me then,
Speaker 7: but it irks me even more so now. It's like
Speaker 7: somebody calls the house. He'll do that, And it's because
Speaker 7: I'm fighting for him to never have.
Speaker 2: To do it right.
Speaker 7: And so when we show up in these rooms, I
Speaker 7: show up exactly who I am right now, right that
Speaker 7: guy used to stand in front of the classroom who
Speaker 7: couldn't curse. This episode is brought to you by P
Speaker 7: and C Bank. A lot of people think podcasts about
Speaker 7: work are boring, and sure, they definitely can be, but
Speaker 7: understanding a professional's routine shows us how they achieve their success,

Speaker 1: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
Speaker 1: in Massachuset. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
Speaker 1: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
Speaker 1: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
Speaker 1: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

Speaker 7: Right as the same guy that's going to sit on
Speaker 7: CNBC or Good Morning America Bloomberg, same guy that goes
Speaker 7: through the breakfast club with Joe Budden, I'm able to.
Speaker 4: Change the conversation.
Speaker 7: The conversation has changed, the information changes, but the person
Speaker 7: ever changes. And so we're comfortable in the barbershop, or
Speaker 7: we're comfortable right here in a business school because we
Speaker 7: trust and we're confident in what we know. And that's
Speaker 7: the most important thing. I think a lot of times
Speaker 7: people feel intimidated because they don't know what they're talking about, right,
Speaker 7: And so that's our thing, is like I'm a constant learner.
Speaker 7: So every day, like I told you, I just read
Speaker 7: the Wall Street Journal before I got here. Let's have
Speaker 7: a conversation, right, I'm gonna be part of the conversation
Speaker 7: because it's my point. I make it my point to
Speaker 7: I don't ever want to walk into a room where
Speaker 7: I'm gonna feel like.
Speaker 4: I don't feel confident. Right, We sat down.
Speaker 7: In some procedures rooms over the past month and it
Speaker 7: was like, I feel like, yeah, we supposed to. We've
Speaker 7: earned every aspect of respect and determination and dedication to
Speaker 7: be in these rooms. So it starts with the confidence,
Speaker 7: but it also goes into that part of having an education,
Speaker 7: the feeling like you know what I belong.
Speaker 4: I want to answer this. I'll try to speed it up.
Speaker 4: But two parts.
Speaker 5: So I never really had to worry about coast. I
Speaker 5: grew up radical so and I never had a job,
Speaker 5: so I never really had to worry about code switching
Speaker 5: because you only cod switch when you're not in a
Speaker 5: position of power. Elon Muskin curse on TV and it's okay,
Speaker 5: that's a fact.
Speaker 7: So, but that they got fingersnaps on that joint, that
Speaker 7: was crazyssance.
Speaker 5: But what I did realize when so when I was
Speaker 5: working as a financial advisor in my office, you know,
Speaker 5: everybody in my office was pretty much older white man.
Speaker 5: And in the beginning part of like the training, they
Speaker 5: will make you watch videos of yourself like we have
Speaker 5: like a practice sale, and and I never really realized
Speaker 5: that I actually had a New York accent until I
Speaker 5: actually watched myself speak, and then then I started to
Speaker 5: realize it. And I kind of became a little self
Speaker 5: conscious of how I spoke because I know that I
Speaker 5: didn't have the best the best diction. I know that
Speaker 5: you know, I had an accent, and I didn't sound
Speaker 5: like anybody else in the office. But I realized that
Speaker 5: what I thought might have been a disadvantage was actually
Speaker 5: a superpower. And that's actually helped us is that there's
Speaker 5: millions of people that actually talk like I talk and
Speaker 5: relate to how I like communicate as opposed to how
Speaker 5: somebody else communicates. Those people were left out of the
Speaker 5: conversation for a long period of time. So never run
Speaker 5: away from who you are. Embrace who you are, because
Speaker 5: that's actually a superpower. Now, you do have to be intelligent,
Speaker 5: and it is important to have a strong mastery of
Speaker 5: the language that you speak. So you know, it's like
Speaker 5: you don't wear a jumpsuit to a wedding. It's just
Speaker 5: common sense. So how you communicate in a barbershop might
Speaker 5: not be how you community said.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 4: You're talking about the Batman too, that Jaden.
Speaker 5: Will you know it's I think it's just a matter
Speaker 5: of just knowing how to communicate properly, not necessarily cold switching.
Speaker 5: I don't like cold switching. I'm not I'll never cod switch.
Speaker 5: But Steve Stouts told us something that was extremely important.
Speaker 5: I think that this has been the key to earn
Speaker 5: your Leasha's success. It's the thinnest slice strategy. When you're black,
Speaker 5: you have to deal with a variety of different things
Speaker 5: that other people don't have to deal with it don't
Speaker 5: worry about. So for us, we walk a very thin
Speaker 5: line because most people that are on TV that are
Speaker 5: communicating finances that are black are They're not relatable to
Speaker 5: the majority of black people right, how they talk, how
Speaker 5: they look, whatever. And then there's a variety of different
Speaker 5: people in our culture of hip hop that aren't taken
Speaker 5: serious in the business world. Right. So we have to
Speaker 5: be articulate enough to be respected at the highest levels
Speaker 5: of finance to be here, right, but we also have
Speaker 5: to be edgy enough to still be likable, appealable and
Speaker 5: relatable to the masses. That's extremely difficult. Very few people
Speaker 5: have been able to pull that one off, and that's
Speaker 5: something that we do. This is just a blessing that
Speaker 5: we've been blessed with. But this is something that when
Speaker 5: you're thinking about you know your pathway forward. It's important
Speaker 5: because a lot of times when we get isolated in
Speaker 5: circles that we're in, but we can never forget about
Speaker 5: the overarching theme of black people. And no matter how
Speaker 5: good we're doing individually, nobody is successful if the vast
Speaker 5: majority people are unsuccessful and the vast majority of people
Speaker 5: are struggling. So it's important to keep relatability. It's important
Speaker 5: to be able to communicate to the masses while still
Speaker 5: having your integrity and being able to up the ladder.
Speaker 5: Like I said, Elon Muster doesn't have to worry about that.
Speaker 5: Mark Zuckerberg doesn't have to worry about that. They can
Speaker 5: just communicate and they just live freely. They don't have
Speaker 5: to worry about street credibility. They don't have to.
Speaker 4: But we do.
Speaker 6: Right.
Speaker 5: So this is a very interesting conversation that you just
Speaker 5: brought up. But I just feel like, you know, in
Speaker 5: the world of media and communications and just everything, it's
Speaker 5: important that people have other people to look up to.
Speaker 5: That's why every kid wants to be a rapper and entertainer,
Speaker 5: because those are jobs that they see as attainable. Because
Speaker 5: the architect, the doctor, they're not visible. They haven't made
Speaker 5: themselves visible in a lot of times, and they're so
Speaker 5: far unrelatable that nobody's even gonna try to be that, right.
Speaker 5: So if we have to a make ourselves more visible,
Speaker 5: and we have to make ourselves more relatable as well,
Speaker 5: that way we can inspire more people, more kids to
Speaker 5: want to be more than just what they see on television.
