You know, tell us how you got started. 52 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: You got I gave the academic credits, but how did 53 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: you get started in this work workspace? Sure, sure, you know, 54 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: um you start with the degrees, but you know, I 55 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: always like to tell people that the degrees don't take 56 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: you there, it's really the hustle that takes you there. 57 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: So um, I'll start with that. Um. I was fortunate to, uh, 58 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,280 Speaker 1: you know, be blessed with some really great educational opportunities. 59 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 1: But when thinking about creating the life of my dreams 60 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: and what I really wanted, I had to make sure 61 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: that I was going to be focused and working hard 62 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: every single day because those degrees we're not going to 63 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: take me there. Um. I wanted to go into multicultural 64 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: marketing because I've always had an interest in what people 65 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: of color were doing and growing up in Los Angeles, 66 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: which is where I'm based, we have a thrising multicultural 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: market here, so a lot of black folks, a lot 68 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: of Hispanic folks, a lot of Asian folks, and I 69 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: always thought we've got more in common than the things 70 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: that set us apart. And so looking at how much 71 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: we control economically and um, the growth of our population 72 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: in the United States, there was just huge opportunity. Now, 73 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: when you talk about opportunities, you have to realize when 74 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: you used the word multicultural market Now, I noticed just 75 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: said fifteen years or more, you've been in the business. 76 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: So at one time, just shan because I was in 77 00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: radio a lot. I mean I was with Steve Harvard 78 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: moreting to show where I co created the executive So 79 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: we were initially talking about the African American market as 80 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: a buyer and then all of a sudden, the term 81 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: multicultural market segmentation came out and that included Hispanics, and 82 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: so we U we as a buyer, I mean he 83 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: we know, you know, we felt that we were want 84 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 1: to lose our share of the marketing available marketing dollar 85 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: to the growing Hispanic community, and so I felt that 86 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: a lot of the publications like Black Enterprise and a 87 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: lot of advertiser we lost because the term went from 88 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: the specific to African American to the more diverse term multicultural. 89 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: Am I correct in saying that? You know, um, I 90 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: think that hitting us like I think that some people 91 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 1: will try and put pit our communities against one another, 92 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 1: But I think that that's the wrong approach to look 93 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: at it. So I think that my business thrived because 94 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: I am inclusive. UM. I do know that we have 95 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: to uh talk about the growth of the multicultural market 96 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 1: overall versus what's going on with the general market, because 97 00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: we're not getting our fair share of the dollars in 98 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: any segment. So talking about what's going on in the 99 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: African American market, I think it's only reinforced when you 100 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: add what's going on in the Hispanic and the Asian 101 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,559 Speaker 1: market because none of us are getting our fair share, 102 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: and it becomes more evident when you look at us 103 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: together than is trying to say, oh, don't don't take 104 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 1: the African American money and give it to the Hispanic money. 105 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 1: We give it to the Hispanic partners, which I agree. 106 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: I agree when you own your assessment of that, but 107 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: it's all about what you do. What I always feel 108 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,039 Speaker 1: is that when you do that, then you're starting to 109 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 1: fight for a real small person. Now, like you said, 110 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: we don't get our fair share. Now you're kind of like, 111 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: they didn't expand that budget in the in the African 112 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: American they just kind of like added some more into 113 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: that pot of competition if they would have expanded. We 114 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: went from to like, I'll be excited about it, but 115 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: we kind of like stated that that's what you're saying 116 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: in the sense of, hey, when you combine the two 117 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: and you're working out of the same budget, that's not fair. 118 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: Give us a bigger a bigger budget to work out of, 119 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden we'll reach a bigger audience. 120 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: That's exactly right. And so I'm talking about the fact 121 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: that all of these audiences are being under invested in 122 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: and it makes no sense because these are the growth 123 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: markets in the United States. So if you look at 124 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: population growth in the United States over the last twenty years, 125 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,559 Speaker 1: over of it has been driven by people of color. 126 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: And so if you want to grow your business in 127 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: the US, you have to reach these consumers. And going 128 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: out with that message again and again and showing the data, 129 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: we're starting to breakthrough and people are starting to understand 130 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: that if I want my business to be successful in 131 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: the United States, I have to tap into this growing market. 132 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: And it's combined, we're over four trillion dollars in buying power. 133 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: So let me ask you this. This is always kind 134 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: of annoys being uh makes me mad a little bit 135 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 1: because of the fact that how the minority dollars being 136 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: portrayed as a potential buyer, especially in the the I 137 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: T world, the technical world, the high end phone usage world. 138 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: And we all know that, uh, statistically that the minority 139 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: communities use more Android phones and they use iPhones, And 140 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: so do you do you do you get that? Might? 141 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: Like I said, you know, we're all privilege to different 142 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: levels of information, But I've always felt that the minority 143 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: community was never given credit for being able to to 144 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: be a buyer of the surface surface laptop or the iPhone, 145 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 1: are the are the iPads? And and then but they 146 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: want to tell us what we're the closes with the food, 147 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:30,239 Speaker 1: with the movies. We're more entertainment buyers than tech buyers. Correct. Yeah, well, 148 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: you know, I think the message that UM we are 149 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: tech leaders is starting to come through, and I think 150 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: that social media had a lot to do with that. 151 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: So understanding that we're gonna be early adopters, that we're 152 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: gonna be on the hot new app, we're gonna be 153 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: on the hot new platform, that we're gonna be uh, 154 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: you know, driving the consumption of the new video game, 155 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: all of those things UM have have started to break through. 156 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: I think two advertisers and what I think the argument 157 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 1: now is we don't want to just be consumers of 158 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: those things. We don't want to just be buying the laptop. 159 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: But we need to have our communities creating and driving 160 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,720 Speaker 1: the information that's being disseminated across these laptops and pushing 161 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: you know, creating the next app. So those are the 162 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: things that I think UM we want to really focus 163 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 1: on that we don't want to just be buying this stuff. 164 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: We want to be hired to help create this stuff 165 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: because we know our communities are consuming it and driving 166 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: the adoption of it.

I'm the guy who who basically your 174 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: campaign comes to me and then I'm I'm trying to 175 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: execute in and so I'm trying to get as many 176 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: dollars as i can work. So what exactly does your 177 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: company do when you go to a Fortune company? What 178 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 1: is is there a standard role that you play? All 179 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: is based on the company needs when you're when you 180 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: are approached. It's a little bit of both. So when 181 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: I go to a Fortune company and try and get 182 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: them to understand the value of the multicultural market, I 183 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: talk a lot about the growth of the market. Some 184 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 1: of the things I've shared here today, so that this 185 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 1: is the fastest growing population that it is a massive 186 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,000 Speaker 1: buying pool, so that you're looking at real dollars that 187 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: can help drive the growth of your business. And then 188 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm also talking about the cultural nuances that make it 189 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: important to be in UM what I call, you know, 190 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 1: an authentic media space, so something like your radio show 191 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: or UM if we're going to be in print, you know, 192 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: let's look at those black enterprise, let's look at essence, 193 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,680 Speaker 1: let's look at ebony like we need we need to 194 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: have advertisers that are advertising what I call in culture 195 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 1: and in places that are going to create more of 196 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,720 Speaker 1: a connection with the consumer. Now my work is relegated 197 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: to digital, so I'm working with all the digital platforms 198 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 1: that target people of color, and we're pushing out UM 199 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: all sorts of ads, video ads, we do ads on 200 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: social media, we do UM large format display ads. So 201 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:42,080 Speaker 1: we're just making sure that message is where consumers will 202 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: feel like they're at home, and that's important. So basically 203 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: using the word that's popular out there, authentic, Oh absolutely, 204 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: that's the that's the that's the marketing word that's really 205 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 1: popular out there, and I use it a lot because 206 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: that's what the goal. And we're trying to target a 207 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: millennial generation out there and and keep it, as they say, 208 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: keep it real to their voice. Is it real? Yes, 209 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: absolutely to that voice. Now, when you look at the 210 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: multi multicultural market, what is your age? Demographic and uh 211 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 1: find and also the uh I guess education and also 212 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: the income. Yeah, well there's a wide range. Um. So 213 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 1: I think that we're breaking down those demographic um excuse 214 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: me characteristics, Like we're not out there pitching somebody's income, 215 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 1: but we are looking at who's driving culture, and so 216 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: we're focused on uh, that millennial generation, that Gen Z generation, 217 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: so you know, eighteen thirty four is a big category. 218 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 1: But then we also want some of the more professional 219 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: and affluent folks as well. But when we're going out 220 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: and talking about multicultural, we're really saying, Okay, who is 221 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: creating culture? Who are the leaders that the math markets 222 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: going to follow? Those are really our kids that are 223 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: doing that, And that's where we spend a lot of 224 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: time getting advertisers to understand.

Well, you know he's a cool 244 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: thing about it is that where you based? It based 245 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California. Um, and so is 246 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: there is so when you're you're three hours off the 247 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: time frame on East Coast, you know, and then so 248 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: that sort of means that you can wake up at 249 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: nine and this noon there you can wake up at 250 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: six and it's nine on the East Coast. Does that 251 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: affect how you do business or do you work earlier 252 00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: to offset the time difference when you're doing have customers 253 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: along the East Coast? Yeah, so my customer base is national, 254 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: and um, you know, given that we are an advertising 255 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: driven company, Uh, the center of advertising really is New 256 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: York City, so we have to work on their hours. 257 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 1: I'm up early and taking call quite early on a 258 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: regular basis. Yeah. I had to bring that out a 259 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: lot of people think that, you know that, that's what 260 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 1: I've talked about when I talked about that. You know, 261 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: you can't set your clock to being successful. You have 262 00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: to set your clock to other people so you can 263 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: be successful. And that's the situation. So if you if 264 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,000 Speaker 1: it's eight o'clock in l a and it's eleven o'clock 265 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: on New York, I think you needed to make some 266 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: calls at five or six o'clock in the morning. You know, 267 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: that's absolutely right, you know, make it, make it act 268 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: like you at the job. You might be still making 269 00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: eggs in the kitchen but you need to be calling somebody. 270 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: I need to be calling somebody. So when you when 271 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: you look at you said, it's a couple of talking 272 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: point questions that came to me, how to create the 273 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: life of your dreams? What exactly does that mean? When 274 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: I when I pulled it from my portal about questions 275 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 1: that should I should ask you? Yeah? Absolutely so. One 276 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 1: of my favorite quotes um is one derived from Henry 277 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: David Thurreau, and its go confidently in the direction of 278 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: your dreams, live the like you have imagined. I have 279 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: that on my wall in my office. I have that 280 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: on my wall in my bedroom. And what that means 281 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: to me, you know, living the life you've imagined that 282 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: First of all, you've got to spend some time thinking 283 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: about what you really want and what your priorities are 284 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: as a person. Um. And this is not just about 285 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: making money, though making money is a big part of it. 286 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 1: It's also about what are you passionate about? What do 287 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: you want to spend your life doing. And once you 288 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: start to think through that, you know, putting in the hustle, 289 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: getting up at you know, five in the morning so 290 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: I could talk to my East Coast clients, all those 291 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 1: things become more effortless because it's putting you on the 292 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 1: path to where you really want to go. So that's 293 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: what I like to tell. Um. You know some young 294 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: people that I mentor that the road is going to 295 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 1: be windy, But think about what really excites you and 296 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: what really you know sparks your imagination, because that is 297 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 1: gonna be what drives you, UM in the long term 298 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: to succeed as an entrepreneur or even in corporate America. UM, 299 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 1: doing something that you're really really excited about. Now with 300 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: that being said, UM, you talk about dreams, and I 301 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 1: would tell people that myself that the people I say 302 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: that people say I always I've done everything. Anything I've 303 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: dreamed about I was serious about, I've actually accomplished it. 304 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 1: I've accomplished it, and there's always been accomplished because I 305 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: don't live my life on a short window. I always 306 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: look at these three months, six months down the line, 307 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 1: and it's so automatic to me now. But people who 308 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: live in that thirty day window really just going from 309 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: check to check. And I don't know, I don't know 310 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: how you complain in your life if you're gonna check 311 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 1: to check, because it's a rat race and you can't. 312 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: But you have to be able to convince yourself that 313 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: whatever you spend in that month, that thirty day period 314 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,879 Speaker 1: paid off. If you expend it beyond that, you know 315 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,399 Speaker 1: there are certain things you can't pay off, like a 316 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: mortgage and some car notes. But make sure that call 317 00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: note of that mortgage that you bringent you your life 318 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,400 Speaker 1: doesn't overwhelm you. And so so when you're talking about 319 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,679 Speaker 1: your dreams, that's important when I hear that because it 320 00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: becomes a major part of how you vision your success correct, correct? 321 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: And how do you how do you how do you 322 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: plan it? Then? If you if you vision, if you 323 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: put a vision in place for your success, how do 324 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 1: you plan it? How do you lay it out? Do 325 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: you lay it out on a on an annual basis 326 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 1: or you it changes along the way, you're willing to 327 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: make the adjustments. When you set a goal and you 328 00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: you meet it, do you hang onto that goal and 329 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:36,720 Speaker 1: brag about it or you just put another goal in place? Well, 330 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,679 Speaker 1: I think that there are a lot of tactical ways 331 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: that you can attack this. So um me personally, I 332 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: do uh, I do a plan for a year. So, 333 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 1: but it's hard to um stay on course if you're 334 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: only checking in once a year, so you've got to 335 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,239 Speaker 1: also put in milestones along the way to see if 336 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 1: you're getting there. Uh. And those can be quarterly, those 337 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: can be monthly, they can be however frequently think that 338 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: you need to check in with yourself. I check in 339 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: on a monthly basis. I'm saying, Okay, you know I 340 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: had this priority for this month. Did I get that done? Um? 341 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: And And that's really what's worked for me. Um. For 342 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: people who are more visual, I think a vision board 343 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: is very powerful and so that you know, reminds you 344 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: on a daily basis, you know, these are the things 345 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: I want to manifest in my life and how am 346 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: I going to get there? It was really interesting when 347 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: I was growing up. You know, I grew up in 348 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: the inner city. Um. The high schools doesn't even make 349 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: this anymore and um and so I used to give 350 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: them a little beat up little Pinto because it was 351 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: beat because the band students sat on my hood of 352 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: my car and put it in in and I couldn't 353 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: afford to fix it. So it's always had this this 354 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: permanent little behind imprint on the front of my car. 355 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: And I should drive through neighborhood I should drive through 356 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,199 Speaker 1: neighborhoods that there will be all my lifestyle and I 357 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: just look at cars and and that was the way 358 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,919 Speaker 1: before vision boards where in existence. And I look at 359 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: my life. Now I drive the cars I thought about 360 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 1: night school. I lived the house that I used to 361 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: drive through the neighborhoods. And so when when when the 362 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: opportunities came my way. That's what I always tell people, 363 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: don't ignore the opportunity. Planning for the opportunity. You know, 364 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: if you if you if you feel that you've never 365 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,719 Speaker 1: reached something, then guess what, when the opportunity comes, then 366 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: you get confused. So so when the opportunity came for 367 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 1: me to buy an expensive car, I wasn't confused. I 368 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: just I was just picking up options because my mindset 369 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: was already there. And that's so you're talking. It's about mindset. 370 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: And I enjoyed talking to you because that's what you're 371 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: talking about when you talk about vision boards, talk about opportunities, 372 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 1: You talking about planning, You talking about all these things 373 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: in the digital space that we didn't have. Now is 374 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 1: available in the digital space, which makes it moves a lot, 375 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 1: move a lot faster, So you don't have to drive 376 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 1: through a neighborhood like I drove through. You could just 377 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: get you could just go online and just see a 378 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: house and just print it out and put it on 379 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: your wall again. You know, you can just go through 380 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: all these things like you know. It's really really important 381 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,639 Speaker 1: that people understand is that in your ability to have 382 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: a dream, the plan is a lot more important now 383 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 1: because you can actually get your dream and put it 384 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: right in front of you. You know, you can put 385 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: a picture of a college you want to go through. 386 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: You can put a picture of a person you want 387 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: to date. You can put a picture of a type 388 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: of food that you like that. You put a picture 389 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: of the house you want to live. All that can 390 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: be put in front of you. That's called the vision board. 391 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 1: But don't become married to the vision board if changes 392 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: come about. That's what she's seeing. Well, you know, one 393 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: I love, I mean, I love the vision board. I 394 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 1: love the plan. But with the plan have to come 395 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,879 Speaker 1: to hustle. So that's the part we got to remind 396 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: folks about. Too. Right right right right, right, right right. 397 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: You can have the pictures up there, but you also 398 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: have to work towards those things because and have a path. 399 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: That's gonna get you from where you are today to 400 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: where you want to be. There's another question that came 401 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: from your portal strategies for making money? What are your 402 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 1: some of your strategies for making money? So my strategies 403 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: for making money is um or I guess I would 404 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: say my mantra is really know your craft. And I 405 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 1: think a lot of UM folks don't value that as 406 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: much as we might want to, because it's really important 407 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 1: for you to be excellent at what you deliver and 408 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: what you do. UM. It's you know, you can start 409 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: a business, but you want to be the best and 410 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: you want to make sure that what you're bringing to 411 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 1: the table is different from everybody else that's out there. 412 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,959 Speaker 1: So how do you, you know, put in the time 413 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: and make sure you really know what you're doing and 414 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: really know what you're talking about? UM? And that's what 415 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:51,240 Speaker 1: that's another part of you know, I go back to 416 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: one of my favorite words of as part of the hustle, 417 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,920 Speaker 1: like you gotta learn. That's absolutely true. Now, what is 418 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: the what is the difference? Okay, the just ex playing everybody? 419 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 1: You have the general market and do you have the 420 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: multi cultural market? Which is the difference? So well, you know, 421 00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: it's interesting. So historically what the general market has referred to, UM, 422 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: white people basically, and then the multicultural market and then 423 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: people of color, and those have been advertising terms that 424 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: have been used, uh in our industry for a long time. 425 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: But what you know, what, the way we're starting to 426 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: talk and starting to help people understand is that the 427 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: multicultural market is the new general market and that our 428 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: population in the United States, we it's of the total population, 429 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: so we're you know, people still sometimes say minority, and 430 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,639 Speaker 1: it was like, We're not going to be a minority 431 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 1: for long. So it's we've got to change our mindset 432 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: and how we view ourselves that we are the general 433 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: market now and we are going to be the driving 434 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: opportunity for for businesses and we should we should take 435 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: advantage of that in terms of participating in the growth 436 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: and the wealth it's going to be created. Wealth is 437 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 1: the key advantage and and is the key as well. 438 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: And now just a quick bart a minute left, just 439 00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: give us some hot trands and digital media and advertisers 440 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,359 Speaker 1: that you feel is important in targeting branding today and 441 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: building your success. Oh absolutely so, UM, A couple of 442 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 1: things I think that data and UM finding data on 443 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: the consumers that you want to reach out to and 444 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: incorporating those in your advertising campaigns. It's really important and 445 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 1: something that you can do in digital. So if I 446 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: want people only in a certain neighborhood, or if I 447 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: only want mothers, or if I want people who go 448 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,959 Speaker 1: to the movies three times a week, there are different 449 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: ways to segment those markets so you can make your 450 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 1: dollars go um faster. And then I also think social media, 451 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: going back to that word authenticity, we want to make 452 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: sure we have the voices that are diverse, voices that 453 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 1: really represent us. So how do we um make sure 454 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 1: we're aligning ourselves with those people if we can help 455 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 1: you do both of those things, and those are really 456 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 1: really important.
