00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,079

194
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: when other people to be trying to take other people

195
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 1: back and still hold like a like a like a

196
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: brune against it. You know, like for example, if a

197
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: dude he's on a girl and he like, I forgive you,

198
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: I take you back, but like what week years down

199
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: the road, you still like throwing it back in my face.

200
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,599
Speaker 1: That's like, come on, out. So this just happens. This

201
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: just happened to you, Caesar. I mean, yeah, this is

202
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: like this is like long ago type stuff, you know

203
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: if I'm talking about like even nowadays, you know, like

204
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: I see my partners go through it. You birth gods.

205
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: It's like, hey, well, I would say that sometimes things

206
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 1: trigger you, you know, so you might have forgiven somebody,

207
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean that you completely forget it, and

208
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: so there might be certain times when you fall back

209
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 1: into some old habits. It takes a long time to

210
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 1: build up that trust. So it's an effort on both

211
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: people's parts. Though I do agree you can't just keep

212
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: on beating somebody up after you said, let's work on it.

213
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: But every now and then, you know, you don't intend

214
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: for it to happen, but you get a little mad.

215
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: You're right, You're right, You're right. We all you when

Speaker 1: Angela Yee Charlomage and the guy we all the Breakfast club.

264
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: We got some special guests in the building from the

265
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: Gathering Spot. We have Ryan Wilson and T. K. Peterson.

266
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: Welcome guys to be here, Queen and the Gathering Spot there. Well,

267
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 1: let's let's break it down for people that don't know

268
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: what is the Gathering Spot. So the Gathering Spot is

269
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 1: a private network that we established in Atlanta in twenty sixteen.

270
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 1: We're in the community business. We figure out how to

271
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: connect people. Youngest members twenty one, oldest is ninety. So

272
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: we spend time building connections, hosting programs, and we have

273
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: physical clubs across the country. Now, actually just had Mary

274
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: Jayes um Esten Gavan women. Their whole entire event was

275
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: there at the Gathering Spot. So how can people become

276
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: a member if they wanted to become a member of

277
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 1: the Gathering Spot. So you go online, right, we have

278
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: a process that starts there. You'll get in contact with

279
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: a person on our membership team and then we interview everybody. Right,

280
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: it's really important for us to get to know every

281
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: single member of the community. To make those connections that

282
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: I was talking about, We've got to spend time really

283
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: understanding what makes you you, and then from there we

284
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: send out acceptances, so it kind of works like college.

285
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: You put your application in and then we'll tell you

286
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: soon after if you're if you're a member. How many

287
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: members are there? There's twelve thousand the country across the

288
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: country that with membership. What does that include? What do

289
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: I get with the membership? And how much is membership feeds?

290
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: And why would somebody want to do it? So the

291
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: membership includes access to the physical locations we have, so

292
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: in Atlanta we have about twenty five thousand square feet

293
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: in DC on LA roughly the same size, so physical

294
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: clubs that have events space, a private restaurant and bar,

295
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: and workspace where private offices and conference rooms. That thought

296
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: being that anything you would need to do in a

297
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: modern day's worth of work you can do inside of

298
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: the space, both professional and social. And then we have

299
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: our own content platform digital platform there and on local

300
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: perks and different benefits. But the biggest attraction to being

301
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: a part of the community is that one another. You're

302
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: meeting other people who are like minded and highly driven

303
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: and see value and being part of something that's larger

304
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: than themselves. So very similar to college, where you're meeting

305
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: people who are lifelong friends and partners and different things.

306
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: This is how you keep that connectivity beyond the educational

307
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: setting and with you for the rest of your life, hopefully.

308
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, you know, when I started at my private

309
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: label store and Detroit, the meeting that I had with

310
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: my partner Mikey was at the Gathering Spot. So that's

311
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: where we actually had our first initial meeting in person

312
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: to kind of talk about getting things started. So like

313
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: stories like that or what it's about for us, Like

314
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: we look now it's been all seven years since TJ's open,

315
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: and there's so many business partners in relationships. We even

316
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: have TGS babies where people are like I met I

317
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: met at TGS and now now look at us. That's

318
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: why we started the gathering spot. Hey, look there there

319
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: are a lot of different and that's that's again that

320
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: we were talking about this in twenty thirteen. That was

321
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: the plan, like how do we create, yes, a place

322
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 1: for the network where we can build with one another,

323
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: right knowing that there's not enough places around the country

324
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: to be able to do that, So we started in Atlanta,

325
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: but we're building them all over the country. Now. Now

326
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: what is membership fees? How much is supposed to be

327
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: a membership? And can I bring in people because you know,

328
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: how does that work? Yeah, great question. The fees are

329
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: it's two hundred dollars a month or two thousand dollars

330
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: for the year to be a member of the gathering spot.

331
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: And yeah, you're allowed three guests pretty much at any

332
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: time without giving advanced ois. If you need more than that,

333
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: we asked that you reach out so we can make

334
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: sure that there's enough space for your for your guests.

335
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: What made you decide Atlanta was the right place to start.

336
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: I think Atlanta is one of the more important cities

337
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: in the country, right, and we we've believed that for

338
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: a really long time. But you look between the colleges

339
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: and universities, the big businesses that are there, the small

340
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,479
Speaker 1: businesses and startups that are there, and then you've got

341
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 1: the culture that's coming out of the city, right, that

342
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: special sauce. We couldn't we couldn't pass that up, right,

343
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: That's what you see inside of the club. You'll see

344
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: people who are wearing suits and ties sitting next to

345
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: people who are wearing t shirts and jeans, right, And

346
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: so our goal is to try to figure out how

347
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: to make them talk to each other. But you have

348
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: to be in a city that understands and kind of

349
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: moves in that way already. And so we planted in Atlanta.

350
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,159
Speaker 1: But we're in the community business, so I mean we're

351
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: at this point able to do this work all over

352
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 1: the country in DC, right, So yeah, DC was the

353
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: second one, and then we recently opened another in Los

354
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: Angeles and that's the physical clubs. But we have membership

355
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: communities actually one here in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Charlotte.

356
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: So they're TGS folks everywhere. Now, I was going to ask,

357
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, Drake talks about kicking it with Jack Hollow

358
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 1: at the Gatherer Spot. So you have celebrities as well

359
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: out of a members or do you have celebrities that

360
00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: you know come through because they feel safe away? Yeah? Yeah, yeah.

361
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: Terms of our brother man, he is a long time

362
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: support that showed us a lot of love the whole

363
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: Grand Hustle team. We're forever thankful for their support very

364
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: early on. But yeah, we have we have celebrity members. Oftentimes,

365
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: we have a lot of people whom the team around

366
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: the celebrity is oftentime, the member, So they're like manager,

367
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 1: they're assistant, their attorney, so the apparatus around them. And

368
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: then because of that, they're familiar with the space and

369
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: because it's a private community, um, they have you know,

370
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: private get together as regularly. So we're fortunate that we've

371
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: we've worked with Drake and the OVO team several times

372
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: over the years. It's always a great time with them. Now,

373
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: why would you turn somebody down if they wanted to

374
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: become a member, Why would you turn them down? So

375
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: we're looking for people who are connectors, right, So if

376
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: you're one of those people that likes to walk in

377
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: rooms and just pass out of your business card and

378
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: not say anything and the interaction is really transactional, you're

379
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: probably not a good fit for TGS. But like, this

380
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 1: is about relationships, right, So if you're not a person

381
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: that displays interest in building real relationships, this is probably

382
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: not the best environment for you. I Mean, we ask

383
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,679
Speaker 1: a lot of questions in our interview, but the main

384
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: thing that we're asking and the question that everyone gets

385
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: is what animates you outside of the office, And we like,

386
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: we really care about the answer to that question, Like

387
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: you have to talk to us about that other thing.

388
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: That you're passionate about. That's what we ultimately build programs around.

389
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: So it's important to get to you, like the real you.

390
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 1: And if you don't want to bring that to the table,

391
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 1: a game like this is probably not the best place

392
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: for you. Now right now, this always fascinates me. So

393
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: I want to get to the Greenwood part, where you

394
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: guys have done this whole partnership. Now, the wording is

395
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: they did Greenwood acquired the gathering spot, and so as

396
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: people who have built this up right as a baby

397
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: from the beginning, what was the decision that what was

398
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: the thinking behind you making that decision to go into

399
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: business with Greenwood? So there are a lot of things

400
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: in this, right, But first and foremost, if you look

401
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: at what we've been talking about at TGS for years, right, So,

402
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: the pandemic hits and we had a very vocal camp

403
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: paying called we All we Got, and the thing that

404
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: we were talking about was we've got to support one

405
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: another and like be radical in that support. That's us

406
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,200
Speaker 1: talking a lot though about money, right, and so the

407
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: conversation that was happening a lot in the community is

408
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: that we just don't have access to the right resources

409
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 1: and the right tools to be able to advance our

410
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: personal and our business interests. So what we're doing with

411
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: Greenwood is is something that really is is special. Right.

412
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,439
Speaker 1: When you hear the term black on black, a lot

413
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: of times that phrase doesn't end positively, but in this

414
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: context it does. Right, this is black on black M

415
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: and A. And we're working together to build a really

416
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: really big company. Knowing that we bring the community that

417
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: we have at TGS now together with the financial tools

418
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: and resources that Greenwood has. Those those two things together

419
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: are super super powerful. So we decided it was it

420
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 1: was better to go with each other than to be

421
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: trying to build a business separately. Now, black people only

422
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: allowed at the gathering spot. You just said Jack Harlowe

423
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: was there, but I don't know he's a member. He

424
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: might have came with somebody else. I'm asking both both. No,

425
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: So look, we are we are specific at TGS and

426
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,120
Speaker 1: at Greenwood that while everybody is welcome, we are speaking

427
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: to our community directly, right, and so that is where

428
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: we are focused. Right, We're talking to black folks, and

429
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: if never mixed words about that. It's important for us

430
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: to have places you mentioned safety earlier. We have to

431
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: have places where we are safe and can build and

432
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: grow with one another. Again, everyone's welcome, but we are

433
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: definitely specific about where we're the perspective. I think something

434
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: that Ryan has said over the years as true is

435
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: that there's places where we're tolerated or accepted. This is

436
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 1: a place that was built for us. This is black owned,

437
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: Black man is black operated. This is our platform. We

438
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: got more with the owners from the gathering spot. When

439
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: we come back, it's the breakfast club. Good morning, the

440
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: breakfast club, all the breakfast club. I gott to remind you, guys,

441
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: my call show happens July ninth in Atlanta. Your favorite

442
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: celebrity calls like fifty cent Bunby, Past Detroy, Jeez, Rick Ross, Carlos, Milla,

443
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: Killer Mike. But since we talked in Atlanta, we got

444
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: the brothers from the gathering spots here. Yee. Now let

445
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: me ask you this. We talk about working in tandem, right,

446
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: black on black, but in a positive way. So why

447
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: acquiring and not a partnership? So I mean that really

448
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: got down to just the way that the best way

449
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: to construct the deal, right, I mean Greenwood is a

450
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: big platform. Right if you look at just technology companies

451
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 1: generally the way that they're able to scale a little

452
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: bit different than what we were doing. But the way

453
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 1: that this works truly day to day is that we

454
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: are partnering right Like our teams are working with one another.

455
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: We're I think this is an example of like again

456
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 1: for other business owners that are out there, it's possible

457
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: to find arrangements like we've been working together for a

458
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: long time. We just have expanded the family in our

459
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: to work with the Green with team Dan. Now, how

460
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: difficult was it to get everything together? I mean starting

461
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: off saying you want to have a membership, Well, how

462
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: difficult was that? Because you need a vision and it

463
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 1: has to be a vision of not just one to

464
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: two people. You need a bunch of people up to

465
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: join a membership type of club. I can't just just

466
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: meeting one person like you need numerous people. So how

467
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: difficult was that? Big difficult? Big difficult. So the hardest

468
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,679
Speaker 1: thing as always you guys know as entrepreneurs as well

469
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: as you need capital, which is the first steps. So

470
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: something we talked about is that we got ninety seven

471
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: knows before we got the first yes when it came

472
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: to get an investor, and then when you finally make

473
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,639
Speaker 1: it to the part where you have the capital to

474
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: build out the location. Then you start operating the business.

475
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: And like you said, we're a private membership club and

476
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: people want to see it before they sign up, and

477
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: you don't want to come to a place that doesn't

478
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: have anyone in there. So it was it was we say,

479
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: hand to hand combat every day we went out and

480
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: we were in Atlanta and meeting as many people as possible. Yeah,

481
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we're just getting to the place honestly where

482
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: we can talk about that part of the journey. Um,

483
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean it was it was like super rough. A

484
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: lot of people told us no and like not the

485
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: like no I'm not interested, polite nose. We were getting

486
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,400
Speaker 1: like no, like get out of my office. I don't

487
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: like this. You're gonna fail knows. And you know, it

488
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: took just us continuing to believe that like the thing

489
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: that we saw that could really be a thing that

490
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 1: we could build, we just had to figure out how

491
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: to make that happen. That we see this as as

492
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: like assignment work, right, this is something that we feel

493
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: uniquely called to do and didn't want that part of

494
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: the process to stop us. But I mean, when you

495
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: don't get paid for years. Right, it's you know, it's

496
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: a difficulty, and we spent the first several years of

497
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 1: the business really trying to figure out one how to

498
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: make it happen, but then too how to keep it

499
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 1: on everybody else that works for you around you. You

500
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 1: cannot pay yourself at first, all the money goes back

501
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: into the business, so it would be the people that

502
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: work for you, but they're the ones that are making

503
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 1: money while you're Yeah, there were years where it was

504
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: like everybody in this joint is making more money than us,

505
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 1: like truly everyone. We weren't paying ourselves anything. But I mean,

506
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 1: you you got to see it through. I mean, we

507
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: we kept going knowing that like there would be a

508
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: day where we'd be able to participate to and we

509
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: just had to stick around long enough to make that happen.

510
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: And that's why that's gonna say, that's why we're forever

511
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: grateful to the to the founding members of the club,

512
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: particularly in Atlanta, because they bet on two guys and

513
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: and and a concept way before there was any proof

514
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: and to put in. So we have people who signed

515
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: up in twenty and fifteen to become members just because

516
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: they met us. So they saw they saw a post

517
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: on Instagram, and they just liked the concept and they

518
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,719
Speaker 1: wanted to truly support. And that's why, like every time

519
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: we talk, we always say like first and foremost were

520
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: we just work here and we're happy to serve and

521
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: be a part of this organization. But its member left.

522
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: It's all about the members and the twelve thousand plus

523
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: people who have invested, but particularly the people in Atlanta,

524
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: the founding members there who made it possible. Salute to

525
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: your dickens in in Atlanta, who's a founder member of

526
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 1: the club who recently got elected as a mayor of Atlanta.

527
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: Like that's how that's how long and deep rooted we

528
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: are in that community. I was going to ask, So, now,

529
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: who handles checks and balances? Right, two hundred dollars a month,

530
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: sometimes a two hundred dollars going to get decline? So

531
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: who calls that person and if that person decides to

532
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: come to the gathering spot after they've been declined six times?

533
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: Who says personally? My grandmother used to say, I ain't

534
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: talking about anybody, but I'm talking about somebody. Yeah, I mean,

535
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: we have a team internally, right, So that's actually tk's

536
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: responsibility inside of the business. Ye, So for everybody out

537
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 1: there talking to TK, yes, But honestly, there hasn't been

538
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 1: a huge problem for us. I mean this, there's a

539
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: lot of things that you get with the TJS membership,

540
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: and you know, yes, access to the space itself and

541
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:51,880
Speaker 1: the programs, but like the people, right, and so people

542
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: don't want to miss out on being able to continue

543
00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: to build those relationships. Rian Wilson tkpon oraginal to me

544
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,680
Speaker 1: just the way, because I remember when the Gathering Spot

545
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: first started, my good friend Jane, Yes, she'd always been like,

546
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: if we have to go to the gathering Spot and

547
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: so just to see, you know, just how far you

548
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: guys have come in this period of time. And I

549
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: know it definitely wasn't easy. Some people probably felt like

550
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: it wouldn't ever get done the way that it has.

551
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 1: I congratulate you because it's a huge deal, and I

552
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 1: think people watching this should all say, how can I

553
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: be a member? How can I join the community? Even

554
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 1: if you're not in Atlanta, DC, LA. Like you said,

555
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: there are communities in Chicago and Detroit and New York

556
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: and other spaces where they can also be a member

557
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,320

563
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,240
Speaker 1: the community decided that they weren't going to let the

564
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 1: business go under, even folks that y'all seeing here, Hi

Speaker 1: twelve hours, it's been I mean from like LA that

638
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:48,960

639
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: flight and I told my wife take the first class flight,

640
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:52,840

642
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to sit with me anyway, because I'm sleeping

643
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: the whole twelve hours. I don't care. I'm gonna let

644
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 1: my wife take that first class. We're gonna sleep together.

645
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 1: It's not even about talking and nothing. It's just about

646
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: us being each other, us being with each other. Like

647
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:08,840

648
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,120

00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: all right, we got roomors a the way. Yes, And

650
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,000

651
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: who says that they were physically assaulted ahead of getting

652
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: on their flight. Oh just called it an argument between

653
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: you and gear Later. I hope she has flashbacks. It's

654
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: gonna be a part to it. But not exactually happens

655
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: a lot because we travel a lot, So sometimes they

656
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,080

659
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: you take it, So it depends, you know what I mean.

660
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: We don't care about it. What does somebody take a

661
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: selfie with gear and economy and then take a picture

662
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: of you in first class and like, look at it

663
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: en being first class while I want his wife an

664
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: economy and he's like, I'm not insecured that insecure. I

665
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 1: see that. I see you're thinking about that right now.

666
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: That's my wife, my lady. My. But if you go

667
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: back to check on her and she fell asleep and

668
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: her head is leaning on and it's Maxwell. He also birsketball.

669
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: Maxwell would never be economy. There was only one left.

670
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: There was only one seat left Maxwell. What if Maxwell

671
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: only decided to sit in an economy because he saw

672
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,360
Speaker 1: Gea back then an economy? It was like, you know what,

673
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: somebody else take my first class sea, I want to trade.

674
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 1: But if you went back there and they're toasting and

675
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: having drinks, laughing, laughing, and you were first class trying

00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: to sleep all your heads and laughed, what you're gonna do?

677
00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: What you're gonna doing, and they're sharing a blanket, Yo,

678
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: it's the funniers out Maxwell go and then get under

679
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: the blanket goes, you would cry. See I played too much.

680
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club, Good Morning, the breakfast Club, the Breakfast Club.

681
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: Your mornings will never be the same morning. Everybody is

682
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy. We are the

683
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: Breakfast Club. We got some special guests in the building.

684
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,919
Speaker 1: We have Caesar Pina flipping their jersey and we also

685
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 1: have Jenny Tips. Hey, welcome guys and talk about real

686
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 1: estate this morning and everything that's going on in the

687
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 1: real estate market. I feel like I just saw y'all,

688
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: Yeah you did. So what's going on in the real

689
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: estate market right now? We're seeing it. It's it's no

690
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: low inventory, interest rate to high. Is this a good

691
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 1: time for people to continue to buy real estate? I

692
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: believe so. Right now the market is shifting a little bit, right,

693
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: So you should definitely look into more into rental properties

694
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: now right because no matter what, interest rates are going up,

695
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: but there's no inventory. There's a housing shortage when it

696
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: comes to rentals and buying properties that's not going away

697
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: anytime soon. So you're at a point now you have

698
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: two choices. Either you buy that house and pay a

699
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: three thousand dollar mortgage if it's something to live in,

700
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 1: or you're going to rent it for somebody else and

701
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 1: pay them three thousand dollars a month. So that's pretty

702
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 1: much a choice when it comes to an occupied property.

703
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: So for somebody trying to buy that first home, would

704
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:24,719
Speaker 1: you suggest a multi unit home for is their first home, right, Yeah,

705
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: for sure, because they're going to have that income coming

706
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: in so they don't always have to depend on their

707
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 1: job for some odd reason if they get laid off

708
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,520
Speaker 1: or you know, things happen, you get sick. At least

709
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 1: you got that income. I mean, our first home was

710
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 1: a two family the nine two. Yeah, so what that

711
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: means is what the one floor pretty much pays the

712
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: mortgage and your floor is pretty much what you're using

713
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: to save. Yeah, you use it to save, You save

714
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: a couple of dollars, you have a car payment, you

715
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:52,840
Speaker 1: want to go on vacation, or you don't have to

716
00:35:52,880 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: stress as much. You have a better quality of life.

717
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,240
Speaker 1: Now what if that. I've heard people give the advice

718
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,359
Speaker 1: that you should not buy like a kind of because

719
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: of the hausing association fees that come at that. I

720
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: think it's everybody's lifestyle choice. Right when you buy a condo, Yeah,

721
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 1: you pay homeowners association. There's pros and cons. You don't

722
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,959
Speaker 1: ever have to cut your grass you get a pool,

723
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 1: you never have to clean it. They clean it for you.

724
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: There's a laundry room, there's a gym, there's so many amenities.

725
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 1: You know, there's an elevator. You don't ever have to

726
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 1: worry about the maintenance of the elevator or you know,

727
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 1: cleaning up the trash around the property. If your toilet

728
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 1: gets messed up, they have a company there that'll fix

729
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: it for you. So all of that is included. The

730
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 1: downfall buying a condo is where you got to do

731
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: your research is when there's what do they call that

732
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: assent assessment? Yeah, so you might end up inheriting an assessment.

733
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 1: So if the condo is about ten twenty years old

734
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 1: and they need to do updates, you might be responsible

735
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: for that. We've done a zillion and one real estate

736
00:36:47,120 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: seminars trying to encourage people and teach people how to

737
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: buy real estate. So what do you say to people?

738
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,440
Speaker 1: First and foremost, I don't have enough money? How much

739
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: money do I need to buy my first property? Investment property?

740
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: I think that's the main question we always get, right,

741
00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,480
Speaker 1: how much do I have to save? Man, it all

742
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: depends what kind of loan you're gonna do. You're gonna

743
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: do fah loan. You know, there's only three point five

744
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 1: percent down. Conventional now also has for on arcupied properties

745
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: and five percent loan too, So it all depends. You know,

746
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 1: if you use one of those programs, you don't have

747
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: to put a lot of money. If you go the

748
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: regular conventional route and do twenty twenty five percent down,

749
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: at that point you'll get a better rate. When you

750
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,400
Speaker 1: make an offer, more people are going to look at

751
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: your offer a little bit more serious. That's that's pretty

752
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 1: much the difference when it comes to it. But it

753
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 1: all depends man, one more and one market you're in,

754
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: you know, it all depends. Try to state area right now,

755
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,759
Speaker 1: let's save if you wanted to buy a property, there's

756
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars you're looking at. You need anywhere

757
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 1: between twenty to twenty five thousand in the bank. And

758
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: I also didn't want to have to pay pm I

759
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: and I know when I was buying my first house,

760
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 1: because that's something too that I wasn't aware of. With

761
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: the realty of trying to send me a house, he

762
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: was like, oh, you only have to put down you know,

763
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: you could put down ten percent, But then I would

764
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 1: also had to pay mortgage insurance, and that was kind

765
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 1: of pricing because that was about a thousand dollars a

766
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 1: month for the house that I was buying. And that's

767
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: not money that you get back, you know, for anything,

768
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: that just goes straight to them. You know that's true. So,

769
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:10,279
Speaker 1: I mean, it just depends on would you rather have

770
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: the money in the bank or would you rather not

771
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: pay that extra money monthly. That's the whole thing, right,

772
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: let's think about it, all right, I'm gonna pay the PMI, right,

773
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: but now I have another ten percent to play with.

774
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: I could take that ten percent and get a rental

775
00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: property and make all that money every month. Right, say that.

776
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: Now I take that ten percent, I put it over here.

777
00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: That's going to make me another three thousand and five

778
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: thousand a month. The pm I. If you're in the

779
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: market like this one right where values are through the

780
00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: roof and they keep on going up. Once you hit

781
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: that threshold that you have more than twenty percent equity

782
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,440
Speaker 1: in your property, then you call up your bank and

783
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: they take the PMI a way. You just have to

784
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: get to that threshold. Yeah, but in an escalating market

785
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 1: right like this one, that just makes no sense right

786
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: how values are. It could be a two year thing,

787
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: a three year thing. But the whole time that you

788
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 1: use that other percentage of money you have, you could

789
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 1: already made fifty to sixty thousand on your money. Now

790
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 1: for people who decided to like an adjustable interest rate

791
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: on their mortgage, why would somebody do that? Just what

792
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: are the circumstances that you would say, this is a

793
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: type of loan I want to get. Well, Usually, even

794
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: with the commercial properties, right, anything over five six units,

795
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: they're always five year terms, right, so it's five years

796
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: and then you have to redo the loan again. But

797
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: I think right now and adjustable is a good choice

798
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: right right now. When I the rates this morning, the

799
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: third year was like five point almost five point nine,

800
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: fifteen year was like five point six. Adjustable was like

801
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: still in the force, like lay force. So even though,

802
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: oh man, you know, I want a thirty year mortgage,

803
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: but I think right now, the way that everything is going,

804
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: a five year mortgage might be a good option. Now,

805
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: how many units do you guys own now? So we

806
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: currently own and manage and also have projects they're we're

807
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 1: building out from the ground up around the country of

808
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: three thousand units, three thousand units? Is there a cap

809
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: of how many units? You don't want to like, when

810
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: do you want to stop? You have three thousand units,

811
00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: so that means you're getting income from all those three

812
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: thousand units or will get income? When do you want

813
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,040
Speaker 1: to stop? When is it enough? So I think hold

814
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: on a second, because I want to say what drove

815
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: Caesar to be this crazy monster that he is is

816
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: that he ran into a guy. I want to say, like, well,

817
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: how many years ago you ran into this this guy,

818
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 1: the Jewish guy that he told you he had ten

819
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: thousand Oh, yeah, he got some he had ten thousand units. Yeah,

820
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: so one Caesar heard him say that he turned into

821
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: this monster. And I don't think he's gonna stop. He'll

822
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 1: tell you, okay, five thousand, then he'll say ten thousand,

823
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,400
Speaker 1: but he's not gonna stop. You're not gonna stop. No,

824
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,879
Speaker 1: he's not. I don't think. So, Like now it's five

825
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: thousand units, then then I'll slow down, and then my

826
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 1: daughter's gonna graduate f my high school next year. So

827
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: then once she takes over, I figure I'll slow down

828
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 1: a little bit. But in real estate that there really

829
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 1: is no endgame, Like you could just keep on going,

830
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 1: keep on going, keep on going. Being that there is

831
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 1: little inventory, do you look at it also as a

832
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: good time to say I should sell some of these

833
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: properties because it's at a high. So what we've been

834
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,880
Speaker 1: doing with that is are smaller properties right, like anything

835
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: on the four units we have best selling right because

836
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: the one thing of real estate you got to learn

837
00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 1: how to adapt to the different markets. So we've been

838
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: selling the smaller properties and then we're taking a lot

839
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 1: of that profit and we're putting that in the Midwest.

840
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: I see the Midwest how I see the Tri State

841
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: area about five ten years ago. So there's still a

842
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity over there, and you get more for

843
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 1: your money than you do out here in the Tri

844
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: State area. So for people looking to invest, it might

845
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 1: not be able to afford big markets like your New York,

846
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,439
Speaker 1: New Jersey, in LA even the landing now in parts

847
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:28,960
Speaker 1: of Florida. What would you recommend that they start looking

848
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: to invest right now? As far as rentals, you know,

849
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 1: we've been focusing on the Midwest the last year or so. Chicago,

850
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: we like Milwaukee, Ohio. Those areas have a cheaper price point.

851
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: So when I first started in the Tri State area

852
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: in New Jersey, I was paying twenty forty thousand in

853
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: a unit right her door. Now, our doors in the

854
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 1: Tri state area are anywhere between one hundred and fifty

855
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: to two hundred thousand in the door right in a

856
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 1: matter of five to ten years. In the Midwest, I'm

857
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: paying twenty to forty thousand the door, And on some

858
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 1: of the properties a lady that I bought in Chicago,

859
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,479
Speaker 1: the doors are already worth one hundred thousand a unit

860
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:08,759
Speaker 1: in a matter of you know, less than a year

861
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 1: and a half. So that excites me. So I definitely

862
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:14,319
Speaker 1: tell everybody when it comes to rental properties, I will

863
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: definitely think about the Midwest. There's still a lot of

864
00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 1: opportunity in the Tristate area because you got to think

865
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:22,440
Speaker 1: about it right before. If you bought a let's say,

866
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:26,360
Speaker 1: just simple numbers, a three family, you pay five hundred thousand, right,

867
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a rate of three percent. Right. So

868
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: at that point, let's say all in with the mortgage

869
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: insurance taxes, everything you're at let's say twenty five hundred

870
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: dollars right around there, give a take right boom, But

871
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: you were only making fifteen hundred dollars in apartment. Right,

872
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 1: so you're a forty five hundred dollars. So when you

873
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: take that away, two thousand dollars is your profit every month. Right.

874
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: That was the market when rates were low. Rates are high.

875
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: Now right boom, you're paying five hundred thousand dollars for

876
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 1: that same three family, right, five hundred thousand rates to

877
00:42:55,560 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: hire six percent, six percent, you have three thousand mortgage tax, insurance, everything.

878
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: Let's say you're at four thousand. But guess what. Now

879
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: the rent in that apartment is higher. So now your

880
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: rank to income one from forty five hundred dollars to

881
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 1: seventy five hundred right a month. And that's in that's

882
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 1: right now in Patterson, Newark, all these areas have the

883
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: rents have gotten up so high, which is crazy, right

884
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 1: because I don't know how people could afford that. But

885
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: when you do the numbers on the higher interest rate,

886
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: you're still making three thousand dollars a month. Over here

887
00:43:27,640 --> 00:43:30,439
Speaker 1: you are making two or twenty five hundred. So yeah,

888
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: I race one up. But now you make more money

889
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: if you're a landlord, right because the rents are now

890
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: we have more with season flipping New Jersey and Jenny

00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: it's not like we just bring people up there to

909
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 1: blow smoke up your ass, but it's like we actually

910
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: teach the people exactly what to look for their expectation

911
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 1: in hiring each individual professional. But another reason I like

912
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: about it is that people actually purchase homes from the seminar.

913
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,560
Speaker 1: Like they have they come back and say, hey, I've

914
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,359
Speaker 1: followed you guys and the home. I followed you guys,

915
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 1: and I got my credit fixed. I follow you guys,

916
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 1: and I got a loan. So that is July thirty

917
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: first at the Jacob Javits Center. It's back. So if

918
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 1: you want to learn that, it's not just real estate,

919
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: we talk about everything. We talk about credit repair, helps

920
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: you with your credit repair, hard money lending, conventional lending,

921
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: property management, contractors, anything that has to do with real estate.

922
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: We break down. And not only that, we show you

923
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: pictures and we bring in people and actually do it.

924
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,240
Speaker 1: Season and I and Jen. We don't do a wholesaling,

925
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: that's something that we don't do, but we bring in

926
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: somebody that actually does it that can explain that. We

927
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 1: don't do air and bb Airbnb, but we bring in

928
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,399
Speaker 1: somebody that actually does Airbnb and can guide you how

929
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: to do it. Many cases, we brought people from auction

930
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: dot com where we purchase our properties, and they tell

931
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: you how to guide through the auction site and the

932
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: website to actually purchase a property, and like Caesar said,

933
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 1: there is no upsale. So once you go in there

934
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: to speak to people, it's not like, well, you get

935
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: there in the charge you one hundred dollars to talk

936
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: to Not that at all. It's really about the learning process. Now.

937
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:58,880
Speaker 1: One of the big reasons we haven't been doing they

938
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 1: seminars because so many times people come up to us

939
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: to say, how can I invest with you guys, How

940
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 1: can I learn more? How can I get in on

941
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 1: some of your deals? So you came up with this idea, Yep,

942
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,719
Speaker 1: break it down. So I think it's genius. I thought

943
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: it was dope. Like you said that our seminars, people

944
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 1: are always like, Okay, what's the next step? How could

945
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: I get in a deal with you guys? After our seminars.

946
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: We never really had anything after the seminar because we

947
00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: wanted to do the right project, right, the right platform.

948
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,200
Speaker 1: That because even with the seminars, when you think about

949
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: our seminars, it's almost like we're going back in time

950
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: and saying to ourselves when we first started in real estate,

951
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,800
Speaker 1: what was messing? What help did we need that nobody

952
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: ever gave to us? Right, So the same thing with this.

953
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: Now we have a real estate membership platform, right, It's

954
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: called Flip number two Dow DAO. So real estate dow

955
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: is pretty much an educational platform where you're going to

956
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:57,759
Speaker 1: have the education part our real estate network, and the

957
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: most important questions are seminars. How could we co invest

958
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 1: in the deal with you guys? Right, So, in that sense,

959
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,799
Speaker 1: flip to doubt any question you ever had about real estate?

960
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: How do I qualify for AFFI chain mortgage? You click

961
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: a button. Answers there, How do I get a hard

962
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: money loan? Click a button the answers there? How do

963
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: I bought it a piece of land? How do I

964
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,840
Speaker 1: develop this property? You click a button? The answer? Is

965
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: there anything that you ever fought about that you needed

966
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: to know as far as real estate? Or be at

967
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,919
Speaker 1: your fingertips finger flip to doubt as a real estate

968
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 1: black book. Now, the other thing is, all right, I

969
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: got all the education part downpack, Right, I learned what

970
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: whole celling is. I learned what a hard money loan is.

971
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: What do I do after this? Right? You have all

972
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: these educational things out there where you buy something and

973
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: it gives you information that you could have probably looked

974
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 1: up online. Right. It doesn't give you the resources with

975
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:51,920
Speaker 1: flip to dial. It gives you the resources. Now besides

976
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,080
Speaker 1: the education, Now you're ready. You learned how do I

977
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 1: get I'm in Ohio. I need a rotor here that

978
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 1: works with investors. Right, it gets investment properties right, because

979
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: it's always different kind of people that you need in

980
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: your platform. Right in your network. You click a button.

981
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 1: You have a realtor to concentrates and multifamily properties in Ohio.

982
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: All right, I bought a property in Florida. I need

983
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: to add a second floor to it. Took abutton. You

984
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,479
Speaker 1: need an architect. The answers there. Now that the reason

985
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: this this came up is what we did was we

986
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: started we talked to everybody who did real estate deals

987
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 1: around the country, and we talked about the good things

988
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: and the bad things about the real estate market and

989
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: what was happening. So, for instance, when me and Ye

990
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: purchased homes in Detroit, the most difficult thing for us

991
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 1: was to find a contract. Right, Ye went through How

992
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: many contracts did you go through? You probably like five,

993
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: four or five? She went through four or five. I

994
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: went through two, and usually is I waited for her

995
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: to see how it was right this time, and sometimes

996
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: they were good and sometimes you weren't too good. And

997
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 1: I lost a lot of money doing it, and it

998
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:58,320
Speaker 1: was a lot of different things that I didn't know.

999
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,879
Speaker 1: So we said, let's let's in this site. Let's put

1000
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 1: something where if you're in let's say you invest in

1001
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: Milwaukee and need a contract or need a property manager,

1002
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 1: or need something, we can guide you to people that

1003
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 1: actually do it in that market, that have had success,

1004
00:49:11,040 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 1: that do good jobs. Because I lost a lot of

1005
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: money in the Detroit one, and I'm sure you did too, right,

1006
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: I would have said, well, I mean I still made money, No,

1007
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 1: but you lost money with the contracts you have to

1008
00:49:20,560 --> 00:49:22,240
Speaker 1: change a couple of times. But yeah, no, I definitely

1009
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: could have made more money than I made off the property.

1010
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,439
Speaker 1: I think that's the hardest thing. And when you don't

1011
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,759
Speaker 1: live in a place too and you're trying to find

1012
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:31,839
Speaker 1: people to do work, and you don't know who's good

1013
00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,239
Speaker 1: and who's not good. You know, I wish that I

1014
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: would have seen like ratings for people, seen some of

1015
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: the work that they've done, because I know that sometimes

1016
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,240
Speaker 1: you can get really desperate just to get a contractor.

1017
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: And we've heard some really horror stories about trying to

1018
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,239
Speaker 1: work with the contract of the person does have the job,

1019
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: or they don't do the work properly up to code,

1020
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: and then they run off with the money. You know.

1021
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:51,880
Speaker 1: I've heard of people who bought a new home and

1022
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: then ended up having to sell it because the work

1023
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 1: was done was so bad that it would cost too

1024
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: much for them to actually even repair how bad the

1025
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: work was. Correct. So on this site that that'll guide

1026
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: you through those different areas. So if you're looking for

1027
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 1: somebody in Miami and Milwaukee and Chicago, in Detroit, New York,

1028
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,240
Speaker 1: New Jersey, there's a platform there where we actually guide

1029
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 1: you and tell you who's done work and they can

1030
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: show you their pictures and show you what they can.

1031
00:50:14,239 --> 00:50:19,280
Speaker 1: You gotta vet people out too. Yeah, everybody knows somebody

1032
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 1: who do do this and who does that, and so

1033
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: it'll be licensed professionals, yes, okay, because that's the other

1034
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 1: thing too. You get people who aren't license to do

1035
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 1: your planning at your electrical work and it's over like

1036
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 1: that never turns out. Well, that's right. So that's that's

1037
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:34,480
Speaker 1: the main thing with the site. And then also which

1038
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 1: is the biggest thing is people always ask how can

1039
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: I invest with you guys? And we never take anybody's money,

1040
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: and the reason being is I don't want to be

1041
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 1: responsible for anybody's money, and that celebrity, that's athletes, that's anybody.

1042
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 1: But now there will be a way where people can

1043
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: actually invest and be a part owner on some of

1044
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: the projects that we actually buy. Yeah, so they'll see,

1045
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: they'll see the actual whether it's a multifamily or flip,

1046
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 1: and then it's going to evolve from there. But they'll

1047
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:01,360
Speaker 1: be actually, they'll actually be able to see the property,

1048
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 1: the condition, what we're buying it at, what's going to

1049
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,040
Speaker 1: be the repair value, what's the rental income that we're

1050
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 1: going to get, And then they'll have a dashboard and

1051
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 1: they're going to see how much money they're going to

1052
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: get monthly based on the rents and the expenses we collect.

1053
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: So the dope thing about that is why I was

1054
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: super duper excited, is everybody always asks how, how can

1055
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 1: I walk through the process. So let's say it's a

1056
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: multi unit building that court Let's say one hundred thousand

1057
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: dollars and you can invest one hundred dollars, right, So

1058
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: you invest one hundred dollars, So now you're a part

1059
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: owner of this building, a small part, but part definitely

1060
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,440
Speaker 1: a partner. But you're a partner. So now how does

1061
00:51:33,480 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: it work? How does somebody who invest one hundred dollars

1062
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,160
Speaker 1: on one hundred thousand dollars building, how do they make money?

1063
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: So pretty much, we're gonna fractionalize the real estate into

1064
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: real estate shares, right, So that hundred dollars when you

1065
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,360
Speaker 1: think about it, right, think about it right now, you

1066
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 1: have a hundred dollars in the bank. How much interest

1067
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: do you earn a year on nine hundred dollars point

1068
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:56,720
Speaker 1: zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero eight. Okay,

1069
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: So if you have one hundred dollars and then but

1070
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: it's about it. I don't anybody think that that's not

1071
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:06,600
Speaker 1: a fact. That's somewhere around it though. So you take

1072
00:52:06,600 --> 00:52:11,200
Speaker 1: one hundred dollars, right, you buy a share and look

1073
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 1: to down right now, that hundred dollars on average, right now,

1074
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: our returns on our real estate investments or anywhere between

1075
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 1: sixteen percent, so let's say about twenty two percent, right,

1076
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 1: Let's say a year. So that means on that hundred dollars,

1077
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,799
Speaker 1: you'll make eighteen dollars a year. Within the bank, you'll

1078
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: make about zero got you and then if it was

1079
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars and you got hey, I got five grand.

1080
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:36,359
Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything with it. You'll make about nine

1081
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a year. Now, question with that? So you

1082
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,279
Speaker 1: get to see where the money goes and how the

1083
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 1: money's thing, and you get to see who pays. So

1084
00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 1: you get to see the whole process of how your

1085
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 1: money is being spent and do the whole project. Yep.

1086
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,799
Speaker 1: And it's pretty much what we're building is we're trying

1087
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 1: to build a community right where everybody is a part

1088
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 1: of it, Everybody is learning, everybody is investing together because

1089
00:52:57,600 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: that's very important. Right. The whole thing is we don't

1090
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: want to just through a platform where you know, sign up,

1091
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: give us your money. This is what it is. No,

1092
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: we want you to be a part of it. Guy,

1093
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:09,399
Speaker 1: we have more with season, Flipping New Jersey and Jenny Tips.

1094
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: When we come back, it's the Breakfast Club, Good morning morning.

1095
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:16,759
Speaker 1: Everybody is DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlomagne, the guy. We

1096
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 1: all the Breakfast Club was still kicking it with Flipping

1097
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: New Jersey, season and Jenny Tips. How can you guarantee

1098
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: that people will actually make money and not lose money.

1099
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: How can you guarantee that the real estate that you

1100
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,839
Speaker 1: know you have people investing in is good real estate. Well,

1101
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: the most important thing for us is, right, is we

1102
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 1: buy undermarket value real estate. Right. When you look at

1103
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 1: all the other platforms out there, and you know they

1104
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: raise capital or buy properties, usually they buy that retail costs.

1105
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,839
Speaker 1: We buy undermarket value. So when you invest with us,

1106
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,800
Speaker 1: even that one hundred dollars, we're buying the properties on

1107
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 1: the market value. So not only are you're gonna get

1108
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: a great return in your investment, right, you're also gonna

1109
00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:57,200
Speaker 1: get equity over time because we bought the property on

1110
00:53:57,239 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: the market value. And we've been doing that successfully over

1111
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: and over for the last fifteen years. Because we're not

1112
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,919
Speaker 1: we're not deal junkies, right that we're just buying deals

1113
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: to buy deals. No, Right, there's a method to all

1114
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: the madness. Like my wife says, you know, as long

1115
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: as you buy under market value, you're never gonna get hurt.

1116
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 1: And that's the number one thing that we do. So

1117
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: now for people that want to get more information and

1118

1128
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: land in the metaverse, stuff like that, because everybody has

1129
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 1: an interest in it. I think that the future of

1130
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 1: finance is Web three in blockchain technology. It's definitely gonna

1131
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,480
Speaker 1: be geared to that. Like I know right now the

1132
00:54:56,560 --> 00:54:58,879
Speaker 1: crypto MARKT and ft mark is kind of crazy, right,

1133
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:03,000
Speaker 1: but that part of it, the Web three blockchain technology,

1134
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,160

00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: house and each floor gets how much rent you're probably

1178
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,399
Speaker 1: looking at anywhere as far as cash flow a month

1179
00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: between fifty five hundred to sixty five hundred. Right, um,

1180
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: But you can do whatever you want with that, he

1181
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 1: you can do whatever you want. Taxes, No, everything is

1182
00:57:23,720 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: on the house once you take over the property, and

1183
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: you're responsible for your taxes and all that stuff. But

1184
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna get clear title. Right. House is brand new,

1185
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: and we're not just gonna give you the house. We're

1186
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 1: not gonna walk you know, because let's say somebody wants

1187
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: it out of state. Right, We're gonna help you with

1188
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: the property matchman. We're gonna guide you in that direction. Yep.

1189
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: Yeahs as far as the sweep stakes, yeah, and we'll

1190
00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: documented on the platforms for everybody will learn as well.

1191
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 1: So you can do whatever you want. So you can

1192
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:51,280
Speaker 1: keep the rent which is fifty five hundred sixty five

1193
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month, free and clear. You can sell

1194
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: it and go buy yourself a rolls work. You can

1195
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: live in it if you want. You can go take

1196
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 1: a vacation. You could you go some rolexes, you could

1197
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 1: buy a Cuba lake. You could do what. Yeah, you

1198
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: could do it. You could do that. But you know

1199
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: the hope if it was me and I won this house,

1200
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: I would refinance the house, take the money out and

1201
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: buy more property. Right, That's what I would do. And

1202
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: then cash flow every month. Again, you could do whatever

1203
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,920
Speaker 1: you want. You keep a long term, you could refinance

1204
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: the house, you could flip it. It's totally up to you.

1205
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: But again, nobody has ever given away a house. It

1206
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: makes it seem so easy, though. You could refinance and

1207
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: buy more property. We're gonna guide you, but we're gonna

1208

Speaker 1: guide you with those questions. Right, that's the that's why

1209
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: we're doing flips to down right, so we can answer

1210
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,680
Speaker 1: any question that you ever had about real estate. But again,

1211
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: it's a five hundred thousand dollars house. There's a backyard

1212
00:58:42,840 --> 00:58:44,800
Speaker 1: you can put you could put an above ground fool

1213
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 1: of you. Now, let me tell you how this house

1214
00:58:47,120 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: is nice. I tried to buy the house, right, because

1215
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: it's a house. It's it's it's to know. I was

1216
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: trying to buy the house. It's a three family house

1217
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 1: that has a big yard. It's on a nice street. Uh.

1218
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,040
Speaker 1: There there's a there's something across the street where you

1219
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about other neighbors. It's a perfect

1220
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 1: house to rent out. You can make money. You could

1221
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 1: sit back and just collect rent for the next fifty

1222
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,520
Speaker 1: years of your life if you wanted to. But we

1223
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: felt like you know, people talk so much is about

1224
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 1: what if you would have asked me, I would have

1225
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: told you not to use them because I wasn't using

1226
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 1: them six months later? Yeah, great, Well anyway, but Angelie

1227
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 1: did get me those properties, so I can't be to you.

1228
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 1: Did make some money, I did. He did buy me

1229
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: and Louisa time back. I did break you off over that,

1230
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: and I broke your boyfriend too, right, see, and guess

1231
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: what I did with that? Sounded weird, right? Broke off?

1232
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 1: Did No? I didn't but a bag. You know what

1233
00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: she did. She brought the back back. I traded it

1234
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: in for something else. That's all right, that happened. I

1235
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: got a coat, okay, oh wow. I never would have

1236
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:49,040

01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: because at the top of the year I made a

1249
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 1: commitment to myself that twenty twenty two is the year

1250

Speaker 1: of boundaries. Okay, if you have never read the incredible

1258
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:07,680
Speaker 1: with the book as well. And the reason I loved

1259
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 1: this book is it because it because it's because it

1260
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 1: gives you the language to express what it is you

1261
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 1: may be feeling in regards to having boundaries. Okay, what

1262
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: does setting healthy boundaries look like to you. Whether it's work, relationships, smoking,

1263
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,280
Speaker 1: a joint, anything that has to do with other people,

1264
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 1: Boundaries have to be set, which is why I realized

1265
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: one reason, that's one reason I don't like to be outside. Okay.

1266
01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 1: I took my old ask in these creets this past

1267
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,919
Speaker 1: weekend to see my guy Andrew shows sell out Radio

1268
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: City Music Hall here in New York City, two shows,

1269
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: twelve thousand people, and I went to the second show.

1270
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,120
Speaker 1: The reason I went to the second show is because

1271
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: he was having an after party. I'm like, Okay, I'm

1272
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna lay on the couch all day Saturday. Get these knaps,

1273
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 1: Get these naps in so I can be ready for

1274
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:49,600
Speaker 1: the night's festivities. And what I realized about myself is

1275
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 1: after this pandemic, I am very socially awkward, okay, especially

1276
01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:55,440
Speaker 1: in the nightlife setting. And you know why because I

1277
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: told y'all in twenty twenty two that's the year of

1278
01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:00,640
Speaker 1: boundaries for me. And I don't know if y'all know

1279
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: or not, but there are no healthy boundaries you can

1280
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 1: set in the club, Okay. In fact, you actually look

1281
01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 1: like a complete jerk setting boundaries in the club if

1282
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: you don't want to be bothered Why in the hell

1283
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 1: would you be at a club If you want to

1284
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:13,800
Speaker 1: be tucked away in a little section with just you

1285
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: and your friends, you could be doing that in the

1286
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 1: living room at your house. Okay, I wanted your friend's house.

1287
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: You can't really set boundaries at a club are any

1288
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: setting where you are there to be social and I

1289
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: need my boundaries now. I'm saying all that to say

1290
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 1: the place where boundaries can be set is at work. Okay.

1291
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: In fact, work is the place other than your relationship

1292
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,000
Speaker 1: where you can set the most boundaries and healthy boundaries

1293
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: are absolutely a necessity in the workplace. And Kevin Burling

1294
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: of Kentucky laid out a boundary for his manager at

1295
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Gravity Diagnostics. In fact, it was a very simple request,

1296
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: and the request was he asked them not to celebrate

1297
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: his birthday at work. Well, Gravity Diagnostics did not respect

1298
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,960
Speaker 1: their employees wishes and they threw a birthday party anyway.

1299
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 1: And man, because of that, Kevin Burling got the greatest

1300
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:03,560
Speaker 1: be gift his life. Let's go to w Kosky Local

1301
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,320
Speaker 1: twelve for the report. Police. Kevin Burling had worked at

1302
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,840
Speaker 1: Gravity Diagnostics for about ten months in twenty nineteen, and

1303
01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 1: because he suffers firms anxiety disorders and panic attacks. He

1304
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 1: asked the company not to celebrate his birthday as it

1305
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: normally does for its workers, and that's when things started

1306
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: to go south. According to the lawsuit filed in Kenton County,

1307
01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 1: the office manager forgot his request and still held a

1308
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: birthday party for Burling. That triggered a panic attack, and

1309
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: he left and spend his lunch hour in his car.

1310
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 1: His bosses held a meeting about the incident, triggering another attack.

1311
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,520
Speaker 1: At that point, company managers told him to leave for

1312
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: the weekend and then subsequently fired him, telling him they

1313
01:03:40,880 --> 01:03:43,920
Speaker 1: were worried about him being angry and possibly becoming violent.

1314
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: Burling declined interview requests. His lawyer, Tony Bucker, says the

1315
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 1: company apparently was more concerned about others than his client's

1316
01:03:52,840 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: well being. A jury believed Burling, and this week awarded

1317
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 1: him four hundred and fifty thousand dollars in damages, including

1318
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: three hundred thousand for mental anguish. I want my money, okay.

1319
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 1: In fact, since y'all want to celebrate b days and

1320
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: I told y'all not to put it all in a

1321
01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 1: birthday card, right to check for the four fifty and

1322
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 1: put it in a birthday card. Okay, everybody not with

1323
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: all that noise on their b day. That man told y'all,

1324
01:04:18,840 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: I didn't want no cake, I don't want no balloons.

1325
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: I don't want everybody gathering around singing me Happy birthday.

1326
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 1: Even if this is Stevie won the version, and it

1327
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,200
Speaker 1: was Kentucky, so you know it wasn't the Stevie one

1328
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: the version. Okay. You don't know what the reasons were

1329
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: for not wanting to celebrate his born day, all right.

1330
01:04:32,480 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 1: Kevin might have had a religious reasons. Maybe he just

1331
01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 1: didn't rock with y'all like that and would rather do

1332
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 1: that with his friends and loved ones. And actually he

1333
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 1: did have a reason. His reason was because he said

1334
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,640
Speaker 1: a b day celebration would bring back childhood memories surrounding

1335
01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 1: his parents the voice. Look, he don't even owe y'all

1336
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,440
Speaker 1: an explanation. He told y'all he didn't want no birthday celebration.

1337
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: Y'all can debate all day on whether this man overreacted

1338
01:04:55,400 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 1: or not, but there's no such thing as an overreaction.

1339
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 1: When I said a boundary and you overstep said boundary, okay,

1340
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: And these are actually the worst boundaries to overstep. Because

1341
01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: this is really all about you. You think that what

1342
01:05:09,160 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: you are doing, you know, for me, is so great

1343
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 1: that it has to be done. Therefore, you not really

1344
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: thinking about me. You're thinking about yourself and how it's

1345
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,400
Speaker 1: gonna make you look, and how it's gonna make you feel.

1346
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 1: You're not thinking about me. So now eat this lawsuit

1347
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,600
Speaker 1: and run me my four hundred and fifty thousand. Okay.

1348
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 1: All boundary violations aren't physical. Most are mental and emotional,

1349
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 1: Kevin said. His supervisor chastized him for stealing his coworker's

1350
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 1: joy and for him and called. Kevin said to him,

1351
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 1: stop being a little girl. Look at those keywords, stealing

1352
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 1: his coworker's joy. What about my joy? It's my birthday.

1353
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: You don't care about me. You care about yourself. Imagine

1354
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: going to someone on their birthday and saying, if you

1355
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 1: don't let us have a party for you, then you

1356
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:54,720

1431
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:44,640
Speaker 1: you might come with one or two and then you

1432
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 1: could actually have a conversation without people around you. Yeah,

1433
01:09:47,360 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 1: I didn't tell Drake Puff was gonna be there, and

1434
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 1: I didn't tell Puff Drake was gonna be there, so

1435
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:52,960
Speaker 1: I'll waited until they got there, and you know, and

1436

1438
01:09:57,000 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 1: down and they just you know, spoke the whole night,

1439
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you see, that was best friends to

1440
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 1: start with. And I see you squatch a lot of

1441
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 1: your beefs that you had it and throughout the last

1442
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:08,640
Speaker 1: couple of years. So it was with a gym and

1443
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 1: Cam and fifty and so why do you think you

1444
01:10:12,200 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 1: had to do that? Now? Was you just over it?

1445
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:15,840
Speaker 1: Or what made you say, you know what, let's just

1446
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 1: let it go. You know, it's just like when you

1447
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: beefing it, let you feel a handicap. You can't hand

1448
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 1: do nothing. You can't you know, you can't move here,

1449
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 1: you can't do this. It's like you feel like, you know,

1450
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 1: you stuck to a little space. And I'm saying I

1451
01:10:26,160 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 1: wanted to expand Autumn beef to my whole career since

1452
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: you know me, since you know me, I've been beefing

1453
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,880
Speaker 1: whatever these kids is doing, whatever's going on. I didn't

1454
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 1: did it. I don't ran circles around it. I didn't

1455
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:42,080
Speaker 1: did it ten times. So I know what beef could

1456
01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:45,560
Speaker 1: bring you. But then I know what talent and what

1457
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 1: longevity could bring you. And what's sewing love could bring

1458
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I know both. But

1459
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that you know you're gonna let anybody

1460
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 1: you know say whatever they want. But it's just you know,

1461
01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: you rather pick the money and pick you know, the love. Yeah,

01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:54,160
Speaker 1: plenty of times, plenty of nah, because you know you

1505
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:56,519
Speaker 1: gotta go through that early because if you go through

1506
01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 1: that late, you know, I'm saying, you don't want to

1507
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: be going through the heart breaks after after you like

1508
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna know how to handle it. I feel

1509
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:05,880
Speaker 1: like you're the heartbreaker. I can't now, I really don't.

1510
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 1: I really don't. They know, I mean, they know what

1511
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:10,719
Speaker 1: it is now. You usually played with music and sounds

1512
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:12,840
Speaker 1: on your albums, or whether it was one of the

1513
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: first to do the afrobeat sounding records or one of

1514
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 1: the ones that sound to do the drill sounding records.

1515
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: Before I heard other New York artists with Drake and

1516
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 1: Beyonce and a bunch of people changing the direction a

1517
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,800
Speaker 1: little bit with with house sound and music. Are you

1518
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 1: dabbling and dabbling with that as well? I think that

1519
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 1: was something that me and Max be started, you know

1520
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like with me and Max, me was

1521
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 1: doing it from back in the day since Kolke Wave,

1522
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:34,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And it's just like, you know,

1523
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 1: as soon as Max heard Drake album, he was like, Yeah,

1524
01:13:36,800 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: it's my swack. It's it's it's a Jersey DC vibe.

1525
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 1: It's just the wavy vibe. I think and Drake could

1526
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 1: do whatever he wants. He playing this week, could drop Prouty,

1527
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 1: you know, a rap album right after He always do

1528
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: it right. Yeah, I mean he did that with Controller

1529
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:52,640
Speaker 1: and all that at that one point when he just

1530
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 1: tested the music. You know what I'm saying. But yeah,

1531
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely something different now. Max, when we

1532
01:13:57,800 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 1: spoke to you, I think a while ago we was

1533
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 1: praying for good news. You said Max might be released soon. Yeah,

1534
01:14:02,360 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: we're here in the camps now, So that's that's that's

1535
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:06,960
Speaker 1: a step down, you know. But you know Bergen County

1536
01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 1: and when you give you seventy five years, they don't

1537
01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:12,080
Speaker 1: want to they're letting you write out. So yeah, so

1538
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 1: he fighting free Max b Have you ever healed fully

1539
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 1: from you know? Max and Chinks? And I heard one

1540
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 1: of the songs now was like you still feel it

1541
01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 1: to this day? Have you healed fully from any of that?

1542
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 1: Because you got you gotta think about it. Me, Max, Bum, Chinks,

1543
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,280
Speaker 1: even Zach my brother, like we're always just you know

1544
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,240
Speaker 1: the same crewe making music, you know, so you go

1545
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:37,560
Speaker 1: through it. Max Beeka seventy five years, Chinks die, my

1546
01:14:37,600 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 1: little brother get deported. It's like I'm the only one

1547
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,560
Speaker 1: making music, so like it wasn't feeling the same, you

1548
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So definitely I don't probably get

1549
01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 1: my time to heal about it. I mean from the thing,

1550
01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 1: I don't think I get myself the time. What makes

1551
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 1: you still want to do music? Going through all of that?

1552
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 1: Music is something that I do to get away from

1553
01:14:55,320 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 1: my job, which is music. So I had a music

1554
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 1: about making music. It's like, you know, that's where I

1555
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:04,920
Speaker 1: find you know, my standing. That's that's like, you know,

1556
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 1: that's my therapy. All right. We got more with french

1557
01:15:07,280 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: Montana when we come back. That was french Montana's were

1558

1560
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 1: We're still kicking it with french Montana. Do you ever

1561
01:15:20,040 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 1: missed that twenty year old or twenty two year old

1562
01:15:22,560 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 1: French Montana from the Bronx where you wasn't a huge star,

1563
01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:29,760
Speaker 1: You could still move around and you could enjoy life

1564
01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 1: a little better. Do you ever miss that? No? Because

1565
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,000
Speaker 1: I would have been shot or killed. Rest in piece,

1566
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:36,519
Speaker 1: pop Smoke, Rest in peace and Nipsy. We're praying for

1567
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 1: a little TJ. It's like I would have been you know,

1568
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 1: i'd have been shot because I felt like everybody loved me.

1569
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:42,719
Speaker 1: I wasn't moving on defense. You know, I thought everybody

1570
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 1: was happy I made it, and it was It wasn't that.

1571
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,519
Speaker 1: It was the other way around, you know, and your

1572
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,640
Speaker 1: greatest threat come from the inside. I'm glad that I

1573
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:52,640
Speaker 1: moved to LA for a little bit, you know what

1574
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I'm glad I did. I did certain things

1575
01:15:54,960 --> 01:15:57,320
Speaker 1: because I could have protected me from something. Now when

1576
01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:58,880
Speaker 1: I moved, even though I don't know, probably with nobody

1577
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 1: I moved on, I got a problem with something me

1578
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:02,560
Speaker 1: having me having be for people kind of helped me,

1579
01:16:02,720 --> 01:16:04,400
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, because I was always on point.

1580
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking to Jim, and Jim says, you know, probably

1581
01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 1: one of the toughest jobs to him is being a

1582
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:11,719
Speaker 1: rapper because you're always on target, like you're a targeting.

1583
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 1: It's like everybody knows what you're gonna be. Do you

1584
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 1: feel that way and how do you make sure that

1585
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:18,120
Speaker 1: you're not that target? What do you tell some of

1586
01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:21,280
Speaker 1: these younger artists out there? Twenty one Savage said that

1587
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:23,640
Speaker 1: jay Z said, get a chef, get a lawyer, and

1588
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 1: get something else that. I think he spent all your

1589
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:28,280
Speaker 1: money on security. I mean when they caught Pope smoke

1590
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: and have no security with him, you know what I mean.

1591
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:32,680
Speaker 1: And I think all the young artists just need to

1592
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,760
Speaker 1: know you need security. You need like one of those

1593
01:16:34,760 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 1: it's gonna take a bullet, you know what I'm saying.

1594
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:40,559
Speaker 1: And honestly, and I don't mean your homeboys neither, because

1595
01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:42,920
Speaker 1: when you have your homeboys with you and you're thinking

1596
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 1: that's security, that's not. That's just the case. Who you

1597
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:47,800
Speaker 1: gonna happen? What about when it comes to women. You know,

1598
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:49,920
Speaker 1: as you said, you were to tap two snipers, but

1599
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:52,040
Speaker 1: you have to be careful with that too. Yeah, yeah,

1600
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:55,320
Speaker 1: of course, of course. I mean we targets were targets

1601
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 1: from every aspect, from every angle. All the women are

1602
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:00,800
Speaker 1: looking for bags. Some of them they think that's the

1603
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 1: way they get paid. Some people, you know, they've been

1604
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 1: taking their whole life. You know what I'm saying. Robbers

1605
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 1: we come from you know, you come from there. I

1606
01:17:07,479 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 1: come from there where you know people have been robbing

1607
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 1: their whole life. And you know if you look sweet,

1608
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:14,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna grab you you know what I mean. Some people,

1609
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:16,720
Speaker 1: you know, they just pushed the limits something. I call

1610
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: them suicide bombers, but they don't really care. What was

1611
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: your biggest mistake, you'd have to say in this industry,

1612
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:23,680
Speaker 1: what's the one thing you said? Damn, I shouldn't have

1613
01:17:23,680 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 1: did that. My biggest mistake was not forcing Chinks to

1614
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 1: stay with me in La. It was supposed to go

1615
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 1: to Coachella. I was still going out with Chloe and

1616
01:17:36,680 --> 01:17:39,479
Speaker 1: he was with me, and Maliko was there and he

1617
01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: was we were supposed to go together, and I kept

1618
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:44,240
Speaker 1: on telling him like, yo, let's go, let's go. She

1619
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: wants you to go, like you know, let's trying to

1620
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,800
Speaker 1: put them together. And I'm saying, hooked them up. And

1621
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:50,639
Speaker 1: he was like, nah, I gotta go home. I got

1622
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,960
Speaker 1: my daughter, this, this, this, and that. That happened like

1623
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 1: two days right after that, the day after that, So

1624
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 1: that was my biggest mistake. I should have just forced them,

1625
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,720
Speaker 1: but we was all drunk and not let my you know,

1626
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:03,360
Speaker 1: my pride and might he go to all you want

1627
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 1: to stay over me? All right? Bad? You know what

1628
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So he came back and it was just

1629
01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 1: like a sad situation. What do you think is the

1630
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:12,559
Speaker 1: smartest decision you've made? Start rapping, pick up a mic

1631
01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 1: and let me ask you this. So you also recently

1632
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: were a type of a conversation because of Basketball wives. Right.

1633
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:22,719
Speaker 1: DJ Duffy is on the show and she had a baby,

1634
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:26,320
Speaker 1: she's engaged, and she was saying that she might take

1635
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 1: some time off from being on the road, and you

1636
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: were like, all right, you can't come back then. Yeah,

1637
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 1: so let's talk about that for a second, because I

1638
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: saw that was a big topic on social media. Yeah,

1639
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: when you come into this game, it doesn't come with

1640
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:41,200
Speaker 1: your own schedule. It comes with sacrifice. You know what

1641
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:42,599
Speaker 1: I mean, Like you have you have to be able

1642
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 1: to make certain sacrifices. If not, then you can't be

1643
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: in this game. I'm saying, you can't just come in,

1644
01:18:47,240 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 1: come in the game and just expect to make all

1645
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 1: this money, get all this fame, be this you know

1646
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Then you just want to stay home.

1647
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 1: It don't happen like that. If I'm sacrificing, you got

1648
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 1: a sacrifice. But if somebody's like, okay, I just need

1649
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:01,599
Speaker 1: like you know six a woman who had a baby, yeah,

1650
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,559
Speaker 1: which she did have to take time off because yeah, yeah, yeah,

1651
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, of course that time and then I can

1652
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 1: come back. That's not no, that time she has to

1653
01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 1: take off. But she was taught about she was going

1654
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 1: to retire, right, yeah. She was like, she was like,

1655
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:17,719
Speaker 1: you know, I'm confused. I'm like, don't be confused, because

1656
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 1: there's people that want to be in their position, right,

1657
01:19:20,800 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: don't be confused. That's the crazy thing about that is

1658
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 1: And this is when you start people getting upset. Right.

1659
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 1: The new generation feels like, I feel like a lot

1660
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 1: of times things should be given right now. Maternity leave

1661
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:34,640
Speaker 1: is totally different. Right, you have a baby, Absolutely you

1662
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 1: deserve maternity leave. Some fathers out there paternity leave. So

1663
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: now when somebody says, hey, you know, I'm gonna take

1664
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:42,240
Speaker 1: a couple of months off to see if I'm anna

1665
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:44,479
Speaker 1: retire or not. If you take that time, if you

1666
01:19:44,640 --> 01:19:47,599
Speaker 1: leave me while I'm working, I gotta find a replacement.

1667
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:49,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to find a replacement for a week

1668
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: or a month to you figure out what you want

1669
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,280
Speaker 1: to do. I'm gonna find a replacement to replace you.

1670
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything wrong with that, do you.

1671
01:19:57,040 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 1: I think he was honest about it. You know, because

1672
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:01,320
Speaker 1: somebody could have said, do what you gotta do and

1673
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 1: then they get replaced anyway. But I also feel like

1674
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 1: you never know what could happen. He could have got

1675
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: somebody else and then she could have been ready to

1676
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: come back, and he could have felt like, man, she

1677
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 1: was better, and you know, you never know what had happened.

1678
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 1: So it is still up in the air to me.

1679
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:15,080
Speaker 1: But I do think that's an honest thing to say

1680
01:20:15,120 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 1: to somebody, because yes, you do still need to have

1681
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: the road. Yeah, of course, Man, you gotta let them

1682
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:22,800
Speaker 1: like when you tell them that, that's when they have

1683
01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 1: to make a decision. Do I really want this? You

1684
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,240
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying That decision have to be made

1685
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 1: one at one point in your career because if you

1686
01:20:29,560 --> 01:20:31,960
Speaker 1: don't love whatever you do, you're gonna get tested, You're

1687
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 1: gonna go through certain levels that we're gonna be like, man,

1688
01:20:34,120 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: do I really love this? Because I can't take it. No.

1689
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:38,760
Speaker 1: But I know for women in particular, it's different when

1690
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 1: you have a kid and you have that connection and

1691
01:20:40,400 --> 01:20:43,000
Speaker 1: they're really young and then you leave and you miss

1692
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:45,560
Speaker 1: your baby so much, But then she missed work a

1693
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:47,920
Speaker 1: lot too, so it's a harder balance. I feel like

1694
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 1: when it's women, yeah, definitely. I mean she had the

1695
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:55,760
Speaker 1: time with the baby. Now Like it wasn't like I

1696
01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 1: was gonna ask you one time the conversation was versus.

1697
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:01,120
Speaker 1: H when you do versus be willing to do a versus.

1698
01:21:01,640 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 1: I didn't one with Tory Lanes. I blew a socks.

1699
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:06,599
Speaker 1: All that that was. That was the earlier was earlier.

1700
01:21:06,800 --> 01:21:08,720
Speaker 1: It was the first ones that started versus. And I

1701
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:11,679
Speaker 1: told Swiss that Swiss on me a check. I swear

1702
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 1: I hit him. I told me you gotta give me

1703
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:16,519
Speaker 1: a check, and he did. He said it to my lawyer. Yeah. Yeah,

1704
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:18,759
Speaker 1: he sent me a paperwork. You know, because the first

1705
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 1: time they were just beat battling. I remember, you know

1706
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I called Switzer and I called I

1707
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 1: called timber Land up. I'm like, y'all need you all

1708
01:21:25,400 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: to judge this joint. We're about me and me and

1709
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 1: Tory Lanes because he had the quarantine radio. But instead

1710
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:32,760
Speaker 1: of me just going on your quarantine radio and doing that,

1711
01:21:33,040 --> 01:21:36,599
Speaker 1: let's just do it a versus. He was like, oh nah,

1712
01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: you an't got me, Like yo, bro, you gotta stop

1713
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,560
Speaker 1: playing with me. Man. Your catalog and even you know

1714
01:21:42,560 --> 01:21:44,639
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So we did it. We was talking

1715
01:21:44,680 --> 01:21:47,799
Speaker 1: back and forth. I remember then I had um timber

1716
01:21:47,880 --> 01:21:49,880
Speaker 1: Land and Swiss beats on the on the thing and

1717
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 1: everybody was judging it. And after that they just took

1718
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 1: it and just like you know, you know, to the

1719
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:56,599
Speaker 1: next level. But as far as me, it is whoever

1720
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,120
Speaker 1: that one time, Jim was supposed to be you and Jim,

1721
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: which I think would be great because y'all have problems

1722
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,400
Speaker 1: before y'all squashed it. I think that would be a

1723
01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:05,760
Speaker 1: good one. Yeah, I think because you and Jim, Jim,

1724
01:22:05,960 --> 01:22:08,720
Speaker 1: Jim got records. Nah, Jim, if you're watching this, don't

1725
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: do it. I think I think that you both told

1726
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:15,559
Speaker 1: is so. I think it would be really really entertaining,

1727
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:19,720
Speaker 1: really really good. Nah. I don't think you don't think so. Nah. Now,

1728
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:21,800
Speaker 1: Jim got records. Let's just say ball in the pop

1729
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 1: that had the were gonna go next. Jim got Baby Girl,

1730
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: Jim got uh summer in Miami, Jim got all the

1731
01:22:27,560 --> 01:22:32,200
Speaker 1: dip set records. Jim got records, all right, Jim got

1732
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:37,840
Speaker 1: records set. But yeah, but honestly, though, I think I think,

1733
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to versus, you could just

1734
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:42,599
Speaker 1: go twenty for twenty or anybody, just because it doesn't

1735
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:44,280
Speaker 1: matter what else you got, you know, just like how

1736
01:22:44,760 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 1: Drake could go against jay Z even though jay Z

1737
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,000
Speaker 1: got a long catalog. It's the top twenty records you

1738
01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:53,240
Speaker 1: choose and what you put against exactly whatever record, exactly.

1739
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 1: All right, we got more with French Montana when we

1740
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:58,480
Speaker 1: come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good Morning, the Breakfast

1741
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 1: Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne, the

1742
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: guy we are the Breakfast Club was still kicking it

1743
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 1: with French Montana. I want to ask you this. You

1744
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:12,600
Speaker 1: think that people have a certain expectation of you, like

1745
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:16,599
Speaker 1: they expect more of the party songs. Now, well, I'm

1746
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:19,000
Speaker 1: you know, I became the first African born artist to

1747
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 1: go diamond, and I became the first male artist from

1748
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 1: the Bronx, from the mecca of hip hop, to go diamond,

1749
01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. And I got four albums,

1750
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:31,120
Speaker 1: three even platinum. So at the end of the day,

1751
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:34,000
Speaker 1: for me, I accomplished everything I wanted to do and

1752
01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: now it's time for me to make music for me

1753
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 1: and for my care audience. The people that helped me

1754
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: get here the people that started listening to me when

1755
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:45,640
Speaker 1: I made Shot Caller and New York Minute and the

1756
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:48,519
Speaker 1: Mac and Cheese Mix, saves and this and that. So

1757
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:50,960
Speaker 1: I felt like me and Harry Fraud, we never gave

1758
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 1: it a full push. We always just did a one offs.

1759
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 1: We did the Shot Callers, we did I'm a Coke Boy,

1760
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:58,759
Speaker 1: we did this, but we never did a full project.

1761
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:01,400
Speaker 1: So I just want to get back full circle to

1762
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:04,160
Speaker 1: the essence of hip hop and just like, you know what,

1763
01:24:04,360 --> 01:24:05,640
Speaker 1: that's what I want to make. I want to make

1764
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 1: a full rap album. So it's something you just felt like,

1765
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: this is what I want to do. It don't matter.

1766
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 1: I accomplished so many things and this is the music

1767
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: I feel like I want to do. Yeah, definitely, because

1768
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:15,880
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, when you talk

1769
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: about rest in peace for the God's side, you know

1770
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 1: he said it. He's like, you know when you talk

1771
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,719
Speaker 1: about top five mcs, the number one thing is gonna

1772
01:24:24,720 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 1: be his bars. You know, we're going back to the essence.

1773
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm here to make history and leaving my mark. I

1774
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:31,759
Speaker 1: did everything, you know what I'm saying, Like there's artists

1775
01:24:31,800 --> 01:24:33,720
Speaker 1: have been in the game three times. The lymth I've

1776
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 1: been in the game and still haven't won diamond. Jay

1777
01:24:35,439 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 1: Z haven't one diamond Snoop haven't won diamond. What I'm saying,

1778
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: but they have way more other things. That's more than

1779
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: what I got. But as far as me leaving the legacy,

1780
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:44,479
Speaker 1: I want to get back to this sound. Do you

1781
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:46,920
Speaker 1: feel like because you name all your accolades, some of

1782
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:50,200
Speaker 1: your accolades, and I think people forget about a lot

1783
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:51,640
Speaker 1: of the stuff that you do. Do you feel like

1784
01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 1: they don't respect French as a rapper or as a

1785
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: lyricist because of some of the other things, because of

1786
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 1: the relationship with the Kardashian and Trein and some of

1787
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:04,519
Speaker 1: the other ones. You step down, it's more about frenches

1788
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:08,320
Speaker 1: personal life and less about the lyrics. I feel like

1789
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:10,680
Speaker 1: it's the same thing with Drake. Drake rap better than

1790
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:12,559
Speaker 1: other artists, you know what I'm saying, but they don't

1791
01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 1: want to get it to him because he's still smelling

1792
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,880
Speaker 1: as flowers, you know what I'm saying. That's a nicer

1793
01:25:17,960 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 1: way to say it. Yeah, you're still smelling your flowers.

1794
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:22,160
Speaker 1: People ain't gonna put the light on you while you're

1795
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 1: still smelling your flowers. So Drake is different though. Yeah,

1796
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 1: And I think what Drake is is because Drake is busy.

1797
01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:29,760
Speaker 1: He could, he put together songs, he's lyrically, he could.

1798
01:25:29,760 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 1: He will body a lot of most rappers out. Yeah.

1799
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,640
Speaker 1: But I think which gives Drake the little asterix is

1800
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 1: when he went in back in that beef and it

1801
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 1: was like, Drake, they'll write his own rhymes. Yeah, that

1802
01:25:38,080 --> 01:25:39,960
Speaker 1: gave him a little astrict And he never discussed it.

1803
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:41,680
Speaker 1: He never spoke about he never came out. It was like, nah,

1804
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:43,479
Speaker 1: that's you know what it is. And I think that

1805
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:46,240
Speaker 1: gave him the asterix. But if that astrict wasn't there

1806
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 1: for hip hop, he's by far one of the best ever.

1807
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:53,120
Speaker 1: But after this album, we're gonna get back to that

1808
01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 1: top of you know what I'm saying. Yeah, after this album,

1809
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:58,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get back to that topic. I just think,

1810
01:25:58,479 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 1: you know, and that's and that's that's the lame I'm

1811
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:02,400
Speaker 1: going down, you know what I mean, Because that's bro

1812
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:05,840
Speaker 1: Like I came from the like if Chicago Bulls and nine,

1813
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:08,560
Speaker 1: like ninety six Michael Jones was playing, that's where I

1814
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 1: was at in the Bronx. That's the mecca of hip hop,

1815
01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:13,759
Speaker 1: Like Big Pun down the street. You know the carreras

1816
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:17,720
Speaker 1: one down here like you know, everybody was right there. Yeah,

1817
01:26:18,680 --> 01:26:22,519
Speaker 1: and everybody slicked the ruler everybody. So to make it

1818
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:24,720
Speaker 1: out of there the time that I was there was

1819
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 1: mission impossible. And we had to battle, like literally, like

1820
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:31,680
Speaker 1: you would take five bands, you take your re up

1821
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 1: money fifteen grand, you will go here, you will go ahead,

1822
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: go to every project the battle. So we come from

1823
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:39,560
Speaker 1: hip hop rapping. I had to wrap the get on.

1824
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:41,559
Speaker 1: All my music is wrapped, you know what I'm saying

1825
01:26:41,680 --> 01:26:43,800
Speaker 1: when when I got on. But you know I had

1826
01:26:43,840 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 1: to try to, you know, accomplish. You can't accomplish too much.

1827
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 1: Was just too much rap. Like you've seen jay Z

1828
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:51,360
Speaker 1: always had them my bars down. What was that line

1829
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 1: of the he's there? I had to den my bars

1830
01:26:53,200 --> 01:26:56,360
Speaker 1: down and the money yeah yeah, so that's the same thing.

1831
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:58,400
Speaker 1: Jay Z switched his whole style up. Wouldn't got to

1832
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 1: the back and then came back to the rap. What

1833
01:27:00,360 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 1: about acting? So now you've been doing your acting thing,

1834
01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:05,439
Speaker 1: and so is that something that you feel like you

1835
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:08,280
Speaker 1: want to pursue, Like I want to be in some

1836
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 1: more feature films' what's with that? My documentary is coming

1837
01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 1: out this year is you know, about about the whole

1838
01:27:14,800 --> 01:27:17,240
Speaker 1: story with me coming from Africa and you know, starting

1839
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 1: to rap, and you know, and being immigrated here and

1840
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 1: my pops leaving and my mother getting a welfare and

1841
01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 1: Max b and Chinks dying and me having to get

1842
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:28,160
Speaker 1: through all that. You know. I showed it to jay Z,

1843
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 1: I showed it to Drake, so me and Drake is

1844
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:33,920
Speaker 1: executive producing it together and it's it's gonna be real

1845
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:37,840
Speaker 1: dope as far as in film and in theaters this year,

1846
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 1: I feel like you don't tell those stories about yourself

1847
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:42,560
Speaker 1: that often either what made you decide now was the

1848
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 1: time to do it because people just know the music

1849
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:48,680
Speaker 1: and people never really got a chance to see how

1850
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:50,640
Speaker 1: hard it was to make it, you know, because we

1851
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 1: make it look easy every day, so people be like, Okay, cool,

1852
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:57,160
Speaker 1: he's just rapping. He getting lucky, all right, He lucky again,

1853
01:27:57,280 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 1: he lucky again. What's then artist's career span thing? And

1854
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:04,639
Speaker 1: usually honestly three to five, three to five lucky. Yeah,

1855
01:28:04,800 --> 01:28:06,640
Speaker 1: But now, like a microwave, right now, it could be

1856
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:08,519
Speaker 1: a couple of months, it could be a yeah, yeah,

1857
01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:11,200
Speaker 1: that's what I'm saying. So for somebody at last fifteen years.

1858
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,559
Speaker 1: You gotta you gotta give them the blueprint. That's how

1859

Speaker 1: called him, no matter what it is, he never says no.

1874
01:28:54,280 --> 01:28:57,080

1879
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:09,920

01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:11,400
Speaker 1: just put it on the trailer and bring it and

1881

1933
01:31:56,800 --> 01:32:00,439
Speaker 1: top independent promoters that come together. We came together over

1934
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:04,280
Speaker 1: COVID the break It allowed us some time to slow

1935
01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:06,280
Speaker 1: down and just think about where we were, and we

1936
01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 1: saw a lot of things culturally in the country, a

1937
01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:12,760
Speaker 1: lot of division and a lot of just violence in

1938
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:15,160
Speaker 1: the streets. And it just sparked that emotion and us

1939
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:17,679
Speaker 1: to say, you know, we've always talked about coming together

1940
01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:20,760
Speaker 1: and doing something great for this culture, and so it

1941
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 1: gave us a time to slow down and just think

1942
01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:26,160
Speaker 1: about it and actually start to get the movement going.

1943
01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:28,519
Speaker 1: And so we all came together and turned it into

1944
01:32:28,560 --> 01:32:30,960
Speaker 1: a real business and now we're out here doing some

1945

01:32:38,000 --> 01:32:39,840
Speaker 1: each other or did y'all respect each other because y'all

1949
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:41,720
Speaker 1: know y're all in the same business. How did y'all

1950
01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:43,080
Speaker 1: get together on the phone and said this is what

1951
01:32:43,200 --> 01:32:47,000
Speaker 1: we want to do. We originally started a company. It

1952
01:32:47,200 --> 01:32:52,479
Speaker 1: was called Promoters a Record and it was four of us.

1953
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:57,160
Speaker 1: It was a Rick Johnson from Chicago, Suleman Mausi from Detroit, myself,

1954
01:32:57,200 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 1: and Bill Ingram from Philly, and we started to have

1955
01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:03,720
Speaker 1: a partnership and we started the Girls Escape. That's when

1956
01:33:03,760 --> 01:33:07,320
Speaker 1: they first came back. We did a huge two shows

1957
01:33:07,439 --> 01:33:10,200
Speaker 1: in Detroit, and once we did those two shows, they

1958
01:33:10,280 --> 01:33:13,520
Speaker 1: kind of promised us to tour at the time. Unfortunately,

1959
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:15,840
Speaker 1: it didn't happen and they wound up going to one

1960
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:19,200
Speaker 1: of the big box companies, which was ag Live after

1961
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:22,080
Speaker 1: we kind of branded them. We just didn't have the

1962
01:33:22,160 --> 01:33:25,360
Speaker 1: infrastructure at the time or the capital to make the move.

1963
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:28,120
Speaker 1: So we told ourselves that are never happened again. But

1964
01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:32,200
Speaker 1: how could we empower ourselves as an organization? So we

1965
01:33:32,360 --> 01:33:36,559
Speaker 1: met Gary Gidry. He was doing Millennial Tour, a lot

1966
01:33:36,640 --> 01:33:39,520
Speaker 1: of big tours out there, so he had that infrastructure,

1967
01:33:39,560 --> 01:33:43,560
Speaker 1: that touring infrastructure, and a lot of other partners was

1968
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:47,639
Speaker 1: already popping in their markets. So we was like, listen,

1969
01:33:47,760 --> 01:33:50,920
Speaker 1: let's just all come together and just form votron, right,

1970
01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:53,680
Speaker 1: and we started having calls. At first it started with

1971
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:57,280
Speaker 1: like maybe fifty people, sixty people, and we dwindled it

1972
01:33:57,320 --> 01:34:00,800
Speaker 1: down to about six people or six companies, and that's

1973
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:03,120
Speaker 1: who we are today. So y'all coming together to like

1974
01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 1: compete with the Live nations in the Ages of the

1975
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:08,920
Speaker 1: World thing go okay. I think the notion there, Charlomagne

1976
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:11,679
Speaker 1: is that you know much like you're seeing. And it's

1977
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:14,639
Speaker 1: interesting that we say the post George Floyd er right,

1978
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,120
Speaker 1: because you know, it did take that for a lot

1979
01:34:17,160 --> 01:34:20,200
Speaker 1: of things that transpire, you know, across the board. You know,

1980
01:34:20,320 --> 01:34:24,000
Speaker 1: you look at what's happening with a lot of black companies,

1981
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:27,479
Speaker 1: you know, media entertainment IP. You look at companies like

1982
01:34:27,600 --> 01:34:31,479
Speaker 1: Group Black, you look at the black effect. We're doing

1983
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:35,759
Speaker 1: that same thing in the live Touring Entertainment IP space.

1984
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:38,280
Speaker 1: It's literally that same thing. As a matter of fact,

1985
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:40,760
Speaker 1: we're having discussions with some of those under entities with

1986
01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:44,639
Speaker 1: how how we as people of color and black entities

1987
01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:49,000
Speaker 1: can now voltron and really ultimately control our IP, create

1988
01:34:49,080 --> 01:34:52,439
Speaker 1: our IP, control our IP. And what we're saying is

1989
01:34:52,479 --> 01:34:54,560
Speaker 1: buy back the block. I was gonna ask, you know,

1990
01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:59,240
Speaker 1: with you guys doing these concerts and do you guys

1991
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:02,000
Speaker 1: have a lot of different CULTI with these contract venues

1992
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:04,519
Speaker 1: in these holes, the fact that you are black where

1993
01:35:04,560 --> 01:35:06,519
Speaker 1: they make you jump through hoops and do other things

1994
01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 1: that maybe these other brands or these other box companies

1995
01:35:10,120 --> 01:35:12,840
Speaker 1: like you said, don't have to do. Well. Definitely that

1996
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:15,720
Speaker 1: that has been the you know, the upstream swim that

1997
01:35:15,800 --> 01:35:19,880
Speaker 1: we've been our whole careers. You know, really the spark

1998
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:22,679
Speaker 1: for this is about the culture. You know, so many

1999
01:35:22,720 --> 01:35:28,120
Speaker 1: of our artists um their brands, how they're communicated to

2000
01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:31,040
Speaker 1: the into the community is controlled. That narrative is controlled

2001
01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:33,599
Speaker 1: by people who don't look like us, is controlled by

2002
01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:36,559
Speaker 1: people and in cubicles and part of these big box

2003
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:41,640
Speaker 1: agencies that that tell the story of our culture. And so, um,

2004
01:35:41,720 --> 01:35:45,000
Speaker 1: we're in the streets, We're we're in the coffee shops

2005
01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:48,400
Speaker 1: and the barbershops and beauty shops. We're just being in

2006
01:35:48,479 --> 01:35:51,800
Speaker 1: the community promoting. So we understand how to connect to

2007
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 1: Mary J. Blige back to the beauty shop, how to

2008
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 1: make sure that that that the message or the brand

2009
01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:01,880
Speaker 1: that she wants to commun municate is definitely communicated on

2010
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:05,040
Speaker 1: the streets. So that's that's really what this is about.

2011
01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:09,360
Speaker 1: It it's about it's about the culture. It's about changing

2012
01:36:09,400 --> 01:36:11,519
Speaker 1: the narrative of who we are, what we look like,

2013
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:13,920
Speaker 1: because we're not just you know what we see in

2014
01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:17,120
Speaker 1: the streets on these killings and just the negativity that

2015
01:36:17,240 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 1: normally comes with businesses being black. You know that we

2016
01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:23,519
Speaker 1: don't do good business. Are you guys doing the Mary J.

2017
01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:26,280
Speaker 1: Bliss Good Morning Gorgeous Tour? We are? Okay? So I

2018
01:36:26,360 --> 01:36:29,200
Speaker 1: wanted to walk me through that process and how you

2019
01:36:29,280 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 1: acquired that. So I think it's a couple of things

2020
01:36:32,120 --> 01:36:35,560
Speaker 1: and that's a great question, Angie. So I think we

2021
01:36:35,680 --> 01:36:38,400
Speaker 1: have to finish answering your question first on how we

2022
01:36:38,520 --> 01:36:42,680
Speaker 1: got there, right, because it's demonstrated in the work that

2023
01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:45,400
Speaker 1: we did with the first two major tours Envy, Right.

2024
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:48,200
Speaker 1: So when you look at pole Star now and you

2025
01:36:48,360 --> 01:36:53,120
Speaker 1: see the success of the Night Tour top ten tour, right,

2026
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:56,559
Speaker 1: you see success of the Culture Tour new edition, Joe

2027
01:36:56,640 --> 01:37:00,360
Speaker 1: to see Charlie Wilson another top ten tour, well for

2028
01:37:00,439 --> 01:37:04,040
Speaker 1: the first half of them. That's all yeah in the world.

2029
01:37:04,080 --> 01:37:05,760
Speaker 1: When you look at pole Star and you look at

2030
01:37:05,800 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 1: the top ten tours for the first half of the year,

2031
01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:11,679
Speaker 1: those are the only two black tours. That's the Black

2032
01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:14,240
Speaker 1: Promoters collective. So when you say, how are you guys

2033
01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:17,479
Speaker 1: getting treated? Yes, treated one way prior to treated another

2034
01:37:17,560 --> 01:37:21,320
Speaker 1: way after. Now let me pivot to your question that

2035
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:26,360
Speaker 1: now allows us to romanticize and our package our business

2036
01:37:26,560 --> 01:37:30,720
Speaker 1: to now go to the queen of our culture that

2037
01:37:30,840 --> 01:37:32,880
Speaker 1: we all grew up with as hip hop kids, right

2038
01:37:33,240 --> 01:37:40,160
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, Mary in Case Studies, right, we love you,

2039
01:37:40,240 --> 01:37:41,800
Speaker 1: we know who you are, we know what you mean

2040
01:37:41,880 --> 01:37:45,679
Speaker 1: to us. You're now coming off the Super Bowl Billboard

2041
01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:49,240
Speaker 1: Icon Award, right, you know, let's partner and here's what

2042
01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:52,559
Speaker 1: we can do. Here's what we do. To Gary's point,

2043
01:37:52,640 --> 01:37:54,719
Speaker 1: not only from it what you know from a business

2044
01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:57,880
Speaker 1: perspective from below the line level, but in above the

2045
01:37:57,960 --> 01:38:01,240
Speaker 1: line level. Look, we're credible in the streets and in

2046
01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:05,840
Speaker 1: the boardrooms, and I think that affords us a different

2047
01:38:05,960 --> 01:38:08,840
Speaker 1: narrative than the big box, big box companies that you

2048
01:38:08,920 --> 01:38:11,360
Speaker 1: guys talked about. Right, we can do it in both

2049
01:38:11,680 --> 01:38:14,960
Speaker 1: and both arenas, which it allows us to maneuver in

2050
01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:21,400
Speaker 1: ways that the other folks can't. Being excited absolutely, and

2051
01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:25,360
Speaker 1: we're buying millions of dollars worth of media, guys, and

2052
01:38:25,439 --> 01:38:29,120
Speaker 1: we're doing it all internally, right, So we're doing the digital,

2053
01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:32,040
Speaker 1: the social, the mobile, the radio, the street teams, the grassroots,

2054
01:38:32,120 --> 01:38:36,439
Speaker 1: that's all us. So we're ultimately in effecting agency unto ourselves.

2055
01:38:36,720 --> 01:38:38,880
Speaker 1: So the Garry's point, now we can go have big

2056
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:43,200
Speaker 1: brand conversations and partnerships, and we're doing social partnerships as well.

2057
01:38:44,080 --> 01:38:46,000
Speaker 1: You know, you saw during the Culture to a New

2058
01:38:46,160 --> 01:38:48,599
Speaker 1: Edition was going into the boys clubs, giving bikes back

2059
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:53,360
Speaker 1: right to the kids. You saw presentations to foundations across

2060
01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:56,080
Speaker 1: all these cities that were happening on the tours, you

2061
01:38:56,200 --> 01:39:00,200
Speaker 1: saw Maxwell talking about really black culture things and is

2062
01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:03,599
Speaker 1: that he was not prior to this tour. That's that's

2063
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:07,120
Speaker 1: how we're partnering with our people, with our talent in

2064
01:39:07,320 --> 01:39:11,760
Speaker 1: ways that they the other big boxes aren't necessarily doing.

2065
01:39:11,920 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 1: Why because we come from the places that they come

2066
01:39:14,240 --> 01:39:16,799
Speaker 1: from and we're looking at life through the same lenses

2067
01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:19,400
Speaker 1: that they are. I love it, man. The unity and

2068
01:39:19,439 --> 01:39:22,080
Speaker 1: group operation is a must like this is. That's honestly,

2069
01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:23,800
Speaker 1: the only way to move is if you're a black

2070
01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:26,000
Speaker 1: now you got to move with a collector. That's it. Yeah,

2071
01:39:26,280 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 1: cooperative economics, that's right. This business about scalability. People want

2072
01:39:30,160 --> 01:39:33,320
Speaker 1: to know how big, far and wide that you can

2073
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:38,480
Speaker 1: take their brand, and you know, being a small operation,

2074
01:39:38,920 --> 01:39:40,799
Speaker 1: you know it's only going to go so far because

2075
01:39:41,240 --> 01:39:44,040
Speaker 1: you know, culture is culture. That's fine. But if you're

2076
01:39:45,000 --> 01:39:47,200
Speaker 1: a global brand, you want to partner with people that

2077
01:39:47,280 --> 01:39:50,200
Speaker 1: can take your globally. That just makes sense. That's just business.

2078
01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:53,080
Speaker 1: That's not even Black, Green and Blue. That's just business.

2079
01:39:53,200 --> 01:39:56,360
Speaker 1: You can secure endorsements and all of that. Yeah, all

2080
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:58,679
Speaker 1: of that, and the whole thing is going full circle

2081
01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:01,600
Speaker 1: because my first show that I ever did, I was

2082
01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:05,080
Speaker 1: right next to this man, right, and Kevin Hunter my

2083
01:40:05,240 --> 01:40:10,120
Speaker 1: first concert at the Paradise there. That was my first concert, right.

2084
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:14,120
Speaker 1: I had to really convince some people to make it happen. Bud.

2085
01:40:14,560 --> 01:40:15,880
Speaker 1: It was the artist I'm trying to think it was.

2086
01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:19,320
Speaker 1: It was a comedy show. It was. It was called

2087
01:40:20,200 --> 01:40:23,360
Speaker 1: um Who's the next Biggest Comedian or something like that.

2088
01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:24,960
Speaker 1: We came up with it and we were supposed to

2089
01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:28,760
Speaker 1: do it with um Donelle Jones. He didn't show up

2090
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 1: and we wounded up getting like Jenny and we did

2091
01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:34,479
Speaker 1: seventeen hundred people I would never find in a thirty

2092
01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:38,200
Speaker 1: seven hundred and it was crazy. I wound up owning

2093
01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:41,240
Speaker 1: that same venue a couple of years later, and that

2094
01:40:41,360 --> 01:40:44,360
Speaker 1: was the start of our career. Well, congratulations and good luck,

2095
01:40:44,439 --> 01:40:46,599
Speaker 1: and definitely if you're out there, pick up your tickets

2096
01:40:46,600 --> 01:40:49,599
Speaker 1: to go see Mary J. Blige the Good Morning Gorgeous
