One of the 662 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 2: things you talked about in your interview with Candy is 663 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 2: about being more business minded. The older you got, what 664 00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:26,680 Speaker 2: have you learned and what is why is it so 665 00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,880 Speaker 2: important to also balance the talent aspect of whatever creative 666 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 2: space you're occupying with the business side. 667 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:36,080 Speaker 6: Well, you have to know what's going on. 668 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 2: That's how we got ripped off from business managers from 669 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:44,080 Speaker 2: managers before by letting them just handled everything. 670 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,040 Speaker 6: Like when you hit people say just be an artist. 671 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,080 Speaker 2: Beware when people don't want to educate you on certain things. 672 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,160 Speaker 6: And we were just artists, and you know, at. 673 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 2: The end of the year you come uncle Sam like, hey, 674 00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 2: y'all owe one hundred thousand dollars.

But what you know, we 676 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 2: didn't know because we weren't educating. So being educated in 677 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,959 Speaker 2: a business, it's like a thin line to know what's 678 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 2: going on is still maintaining yourself as an artist, but 679 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 2: you want to be aware of what's going on, so 680 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 2: you won't get fed at the end, you know what 681 00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 2: I mean.
