<v Speaker 2>Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

0:01:00.160 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 3>Now, I got a question of that for all three

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 3>of you, because this is you know, I have battles

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 3>with this sometimes where I had a teammate. His name

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.639
<v Speaker 3>was Andrew Bogut, and he and I have gotten really close.

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.399
<v Speaker 3>And I learned this from my mother. You know I

0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 3>did it.

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 4>I wrote a book, The Six Man and go by

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 4>that if you haven't.

0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 5>Read it on Amazon right now.

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 4>I wasn't.

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 3>I never planned on saying that, to be honest, but

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:24.720
<v Speaker 3>my mother taught me at a young age. I had

0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:27.760
<v Speaker 3>a story in there where my mother had two voices

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 3>and I said this to it one time.

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 4>She looked at me crazy. I was like, Mom, when

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 4>you have on makeup, you're.

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 3>Nice, and when you don't have your makeup, I think

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna get a whooping at any given moment. My

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 3>mom is six foot tall, so I was scared of

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.720
<v Speaker 3>her until I was like fifteen, like frightened. And she

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.679
<v Speaker 3>had two voices though, you know, she had the voice

0:01:46.680 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 3>at home, and then we went out to work, she

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 3>had the other voice. And I think as African Americans,

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 3>we all have that. You got to switch it up

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 3>and the cold switch and thank you. And so Andrew

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Boget was he said to me, He's like, Hundre, why

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 3>do you talk to like your black teammates and then

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 3>you talk different when you're talking to like, you know,

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 3>white people.

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 4>And I couldn't.

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't quite explain it to him, but I was

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 3>trying to explain to him, like my mother when we

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:14.680
<v Speaker 3>went to go she.

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 4>Was on the phone.

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 3>I remember the phone conversation talking to this guy about

0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:18.519
<v Speaker 3>a house rental.

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 4>We used to rent the small two bedroom apartment.

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 3>Like I went in there like maybe ten years ago,

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 3>and like I'm like in there like this and I'm

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:28.359
<v Speaker 3>looking at I'm like, how did my brother and I

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:30.560
<v Speaker 3>how do we live in this space together?

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 4>You know, he's the same height as me.

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 3>And the guys approved the rental, like, yes, it's available

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 3>to you. She took my brother and myself with her

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 3>to see this, to get the house, and so we

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:44.000
<v Speaker 3>pulled up knocking on the door. He answered the door.

0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 3>It's like, canna help you. She was like, yes, I'm

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 3>the lady you spoke to on the phone, but her

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 3>voice he couldn't he couldn't tell.

0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 4>What it was.

0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 3>The house is not available. So from that moment, like

0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 3>I understood, like how the world works, Like whoa And

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm like nine, nine years old? Like who understands that

0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 3>at nine years old? And like it's just like what

0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 3>you're saying is like how low can you go? When

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 3>you I mean, what can you lose when you don't

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.480
<v Speaker 3>have anything to lose? And so that leads me to

0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:15.360
<v Speaker 3>now I still have to maneuver how I speak. I

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:18.519
<v Speaker 3>have to be PC more PC in some places. You know,

0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 3>I can turn it down to other places. Even when

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.679
<v Speaker 3>we speak, you know, he's always saying, I want to

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.480
<v Speaker 3>see that springfielder in you. But for three of you,

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:27.320
<v Speaker 3>you know, this is my question. You know, the higher

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 3>you keep moving up, you're going to open doors that

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 3>you know you've never been in before, or doors we've

0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 3>never been in before. Like I'm thinking, you know, we're

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 3>seeing entertainers into these billionaire realms and they have to

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:40.160
<v Speaker 3>maneuver different.

0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:41.400
<v Speaker 4>You know, we're in this room.

0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 3>We don't have a the black Elon Musk whatever you

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 3>want to call it, or the Zuckerberg Like when are

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:48.600
<v Speaker 3>we going to have our own tech companies that are

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, trillion dollar market caps?

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 4>But we're inching closer.

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 3>And so as you move up, you say you want

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 3>to stay yourself, like we always want to stay ourselves.

0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:02.440
<v Speaker 3>But are you thinking about how you plan on maneuvering

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 3>once you get into certain places, and like, what's your

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 3>thoughts on it?

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 4>I think the only thing I can change.

0:04:08.120 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 6>Is like I probably curse less in certain places, but

0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.960
<v Speaker 6>that's just the truth. But like anything else, because you know,

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.039
<v Speaker 6>sometimes you might walk in the rooms and you might

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 6>be like, man, am I am I sure I'm supposed

0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 6>to be here? And one thing always says, like I've

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.480
<v Speaker 6>been told, it's look for the signs. And when you

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.119
<v Speaker 6>talk to other people, shout out to everybody. You guys

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 6>are very talented, accomplished people, and so am I. And

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 6>like when you talk to other people, you see the

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:35.760
<v Speaker 6>confidence the individuals have and sit in front of you

0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 6>have and all the things they can do, and it's like, okay,

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 6>you guys are able to do that. You're able to

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 6>do Like you said, what I was able to do

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.480
<v Speaker 6>is one in a million, and you know, you can

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 6>be a teacher and be a lot of different things.

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 6>And it's like I try to find, you know, the

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.479
<v Speaker 6>one little you know, spec that I can take to

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.720
<v Speaker 6>really build from. So when I sit there and I see,

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 6>you know, great people speak with confidence, I'm like, well,

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 6>I came from a situation of you know, poverty where

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:02.840
<v Speaker 6>you know, single parent, wasn't supposed to make it out,

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.039
<v Speaker 6>wasn't supposed to be in this situation, I was able

0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.039
<v Speaker 6>to do it with you know, a tenth of a chance.

0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.400
<v Speaker 6>So every time I look there, I'm like, all right,

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:10.960
<v Speaker 6>if these people can do it, I can leave here

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 6>and do it. Because I've done some amazing stuff. Then

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 6>most people can't even fathom. We talked about a lot

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 6>of situations, even just for career or like mistakes. It's like,

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 6>you're worry about how people judge you. But a lot

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.280
<v Speaker 6>of people stopped their mission a long long time ago

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.600
<v Speaker 6>and just went to the sideline and started pointing like, yo,

0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 6>that ain't him. And it's like, no, I'm your superior,

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.080
<v Speaker 6>I'm him. Worry about yourself, you know what I mean.

0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 6>And then from there I move on and just keep going.

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 4>But you know, I.

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 6>Gotta keep it. Dre does a great job of smoothing

0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:42.719
<v Speaker 6>it and out, but my mission, my delivery, can be

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 6>a little bit more aggressive. But I definitely earn earn

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 6>the right to know I'm in that room and gain

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.479
<v Speaker 6>confidence from comprehending that if you can do great things,

0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.520
<v Speaker 6>I can do great things. And I take it from there.

0:05:53.040 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I think you spot on with the confidence and

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 7>Drake that story you told about your mother, it hit

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:03.200
<v Speaker 7>me dead in the heart because I remember calling my dad.

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:05.520
<v Speaker 4>I work. My parents are from Jamaica straw.

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, okay, now then we said that, now that's not

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 7>the way. So I would call him, and you know

0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 7>that he has a he has a heavy patois at dialect.

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:22.600
<v Speaker 4>But that's changed over the years.

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 7>When I would call him, he worked in Manhattan at corporate,

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:26.279
<v Speaker 7>and I told the story. I really never know what

0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.279
<v Speaker 7>he did, but I would call him and he would

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 7>answer it, and my brothers used to laugh, I'll do

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:31.760
<v Speaker 7>it for y'all. He'd be like hello.

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.120
<v Speaker 4>I'd be like that, it's me.

0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:40.039
<v Speaker 7>And then you know, he would talk to me in

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 7>his regular voice. And when I'll call my mom, she couldn't.

0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 7>She never did it. But it used to irk me then,

0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 7>but it irks me even more so now. It's like

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 7>somebody calls the house. He'll do that, And it's because

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:52.560
<v Speaker 7>I'm fighting for him to never have.

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 2>To do it right.

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 7>And so when we show up in these rooms, I

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 7>show up exactly who I am right now, right that

0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.800

<v Speaker 1>An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

<v Speaker 1>in Massachuset. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:15.319
<v Speaker 1>some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

0:09:15.360 --> 0:09:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 1>crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:34.560
<v Speaker 1>are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly

0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will

0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:42.320
<v Speaker 1>never return. But if you register using our CBP home

0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:45.760
<v Speaker 1>app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Do what's right, leave now. Under President Trump America's laws,

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 1>border and families will.

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.440
<v Speaker 7>Right as the same guy that's going to sit on

0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:01.160
<v Speaker 7>CNBC or Good Morning America Bloomberg, same guy that goes

0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 7>through the breakfast club with Joe Budden, I'm able to.

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 4>Change the conversation.

0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 7>The conversation has changed, the information changes, but the person

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.439
<v Speaker 7>ever changes. And so we're comfortable in the barbershop, or

0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 7>we're comfortable right here in a business school because we

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 7>trust and we're confident in what we know. And that's

0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 7>the most important thing. I think a lot of times

0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:25.320
<v Speaker 7>people feel intimidated because they don't know what they're talking about, right,

0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:27.520
<v Speaker 7>And so that's our thing, is like I'm a constant learner.

0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.439
<v Speaker 7>So every day, like I told you, I just read

0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 7>the Wall Street Journal before I got here. Let's have

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.720
<v Speaker 7>a conversation, right, I'm gonna be part of the conversation

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 7>because it's my point. I make it my point to

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:39.679
<v Speaker 7>I don't ever want to walk into a room where

0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:40.959
<v Speaker 7>I'm gonna feel like.

0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 4>I don't feel confident. Right, We sat down.

0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:46.319
<v Speaker 7>In some procedures rooms over the past month and it

0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 7>was like, I feel like, yeah, we supposed to. We've

0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:54.679
<v Speaker 7>earned every aspect of respect and determination and dedication to

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.240
<v Speaker 7>be in these rooms. So it starts with the confidence,

0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 7>but it also goes into that part of having an education,

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:02.080
<v Speaker 7>the feeling like you know what I belong.

0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.600
<v Speaker 4>I want to answer this. I'll try to speed it up.

0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 4>But two parts.

0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.360
<v Speaker 5>So I never really had to worry about coast. I

0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.120
<v Speaker 5>grew up radical so and I never had a job,

0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 5>so I never really had to worry about code switching

0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.559
<v Speaker 5>because you only cod switch when you're not in a

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 5>position of power. Elon Muskin curse on TV and it's okay,

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 5>that's a fact.

0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 7>So, but that they got fingersnaps on that joint, that

0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 7>was crazyssance.

0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.840
<v Speaker 5>But what I did realize when so when I was

0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 5>working as a financial advisor in my office, you know,

0:11:40.559 --> 0:11:43.000
<v Speaker 5>everybody in my office was pretty much older white man.

0:11:43.360 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 5>And in the beginning part of like the training, they

0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.840
<v Speaker 5>will make you watch videos of yourself like we have

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:53.720
<v Speaker 5>like a practice sale, and and I never really realized

0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.400
<v Speaker 5>that I actually had a New York accent until I

0:11:56.400 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 5>actually watched myself speak, and then then I started to

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 5>realize it. And I kind of became a little self

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.040
<v Speaker 5>conscious of how I spoke because I know that I

0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:10.240
<v Speaker 5>didn't have the best the best diction. I know that

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 5>you know, I had an accent, and I didn't sound

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 5>like anybody else in the office. But I realized that

0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:21.079
<v Speaker 5>what I thought might have been a disadvantage was actually

0:12:21.080 --> 0:12:24.680
<v Speaker 5>a superpower. And that's actually helped us is that there's

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 5>millions of people that actually talk like I talk and

0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.400
<v Speaker 5>relate to how I like communicate as opposed to how

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.800
<v Speaker 5>somebody else communicates. Those people were left out of the

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 5>conversation for a long period of time. So never run

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 5>away from who you are. Embrace who you are, because

0:12:38.800 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 5>that's actually a superpower. Now, you do have to be intelligent,

0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.680
<v Speaker 5>and it is important to have a strong mastery of

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:51.960
<v Speaker 5>the language that you speak. So you know, it's like

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:54.800
<v Speaker 5>you don't wear a jumpsuit to a wedding. It's just

0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.560
<v Speaker 5>common sense. So how you communicate in a barbershop might

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.840
<v Speaker 5>not be how you community said.

0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:01.319
<v Speaker 6>I don't know.

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.400
<v Speaker 4>You're talking about the Batman too, that Jaden.

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.960
<v Speaker 5>Will you know it's I think it's just a matter

0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.200
<v Speaker 5>of just knowing how to communicate properly, not necessarily cold switching.

0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:14.559
<v Speaker 5>I don't like cold switching. I'm not I'll never cod switch.

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 5>But Steve Stouts told us something that was extremely important.

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:20.559
<v Speaker 5>I think that this has been the key to earn

0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:25.200
<v Speaker 5>your Leasha's success. It's the thinnest slice strategy. When you're black,

0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:26.840
<v Speaker 5>you have to deal with a variety of different things

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:28.320
<v Speaker 5>that other people don't have to deal with it don't

0:13:28.320 --> 0:13:32.360
<v Speaker 5>worry about. So for us, we walk a very thin

0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.000
<v Speaker 5>line because most people that are on TV that are

0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:39.880
<v Speaker 5>communicating finances that are black are They're not relatable to

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:43.080
<v Speaker 5>the majority of black people right, how they talk, how

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 5>they look, whatever. And then there's a variety of different

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 5>people in our culture of hip hop that aren't taken

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:56.400
<v Speaker 5>serious in the business world. Right. So we have to

0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:59.560
<v Speaker 5>be articulate enough to be respected at the highest levels

0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:03.120
<v Speaker 5>of finance to be here, right, but we also have

0:14:03.200 --> 0:14:07.320
<v Speaker 5>to be edgy enough to still be likable, appealable and

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 5>relatable to the masses. That's extremely difficult. Very few people

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 5>have been able to pull that one off, and that's

0:14:13.800 --> 0:14:17.040
<v Speaker 5>something that we do. This is just a blessing that

0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 5>we've been blessed with. But this is something that when

0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 5>you're thinking about you know your pathway forward. It's important

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 5>because a lot of times when we get isolated in

0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:32.560
<v Speaker 5>circles that we're in, but we can never forget about

0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:37.480
<v Speaker 5>the overarching theme of black people. And no matter how

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 5>good we're doing individually, nobody is successful if the vast

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:46.160
<v Speaker 5>majority people are unsuccessful and the vast majority of people

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 5>are struggling. So it's important to keep relatability. It's important

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:57.240
<v Speaker 5>to be able to communicate to the masses while still

0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 5>having your integrity and being able to up the ladder.

0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:03.840
<v Speaker 5>Like I said, Elon Muster doesn't have to worry about that.

0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:06.640
<v Speaker 5>Mark Zuckerberg doesn't have to worry about that. They can

0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:09.080
<v Speaker 5>just communicate and they just live freely. They don't have

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:12.040
<v Speaker 5>to worry about street credibility. They don't have to.

0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 4>But we do.

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 6>Right.

0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 5>So this is a very interesting conversation that you just

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 5>brought up. But I just feel like, you know, in

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:24.000
<v Speaker 5>the world of media and communications and just everything, it's

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:27.040
<v Speaker 5>important that people have other people to look up to.

0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 5>That's why every kid wants to be a rapper and entertainer,

0:15:29.560 --> 0:15:33.600
<v Speaker 5>because those are jobs that they see as attainable. Because

0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:38.360
<v Speaker 5>the architect, the doctor, they're not visible. They haven't made

0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:41.080
<v Speaker 5>themselves visible in a lot of times, and they're so

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:45.800
<v Speaker 5>far unrelatable that nobody's even gonna try to be that, right.

0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.760
<v Speaker 5>So if we have to a make ourselves more visible,

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 5>and we have to make ourselves more relatable as well,

0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:56.520
<v Speaker 5>that way we can inspire more people, more kids to

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 5>want to be more than just what they see on television.

0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child in Massachusetts.

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.960
<v Speaker 1>An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador accused of

0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 1>murdering a Texas. Man of Venezuelan charged with filming and

0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 1>selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just some of

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.760
<v Speaker 1>the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President Donald J.

0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:23.600
