Speaker 1: bank robbery capital, Ryan promised himself while he was laying there.

68
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: This was not the end of his story. When he

69
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: got out of the prison and his mid twenties, Ryan

70
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,160

Speaker 1: how you doing, Ryan, I'm fantastic man. Pleasure to be here, Shan,

83
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: thank you for having me. Well. First of all, you know,

84
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: there's always a journey, you know. I come from the

85
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: inner City, and I always uh tell people that, you know,

86
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: mistakes are left and right decisions. You know, you go left,

87
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: this is a decision, you go right. Nobody just can

88
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: stand in the middle and just you live your life.

89
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: You gotta make a decision. And sometimes a decision we

90
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: make can come with consequences, good and bad, you know.

91
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: And I know that. Uh. I look back in my

92
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: college life and I did some silly things that if

93
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: they're if they're the right people would have caught me.

94
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: I probably would have had a different record. But the

95
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: right people didn't catch me, and I was fortunate and

96
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: blessed in your situation. You participated in the bank robbery

97
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: which led to you being arrested. Tell us about that journey.

98
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: Because so many of our African American youth getting these

99
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 1: bad situations and unfortunately can't come out of it. They

100
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: don't have mentors who help them get out of that

101
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: right them along the way. And that is part of

102
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: your story. But let's go back to the beginning. Uh

103
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: that led to that point where you were arrested for

104
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 1: robbing the bank, attempting the robbing bank. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

105
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: we're trying. I just want to say, like to your point,

106
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 1: there's a saying in the neighborhood that if you knew better,

107
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: you would do better. And that speaks to us. I

108
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: think a lot of talented black men and women, black

109
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: and brown men and women coming from inner cities. Uh,

110
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: just a lack of opportunity and lack of nohaw know how,

111
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 1: a lack of the right channels for success. So you

112
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 1: knew better, you would do better. So I think my

113
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: story reflects that. Yes, this nineteen um, two weeks after

114
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: my nineteenth birthday, uh, in that summer, just when year

115
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: out of high school and kind of this uh inner

116
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: city uh started out inner city typical story, kind of

117
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 1: one ft uh in the neighborhood, UM, one ft in sports. Uh.

118
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: So by the time that I graduated high school. You know,

119
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: I was knee deep and gang banging and selling drugs

120
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: and whatever way to hustle to make money. And so

121
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: I find myself, you know, two weeks before I turned nine,

122
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: on the floor of the bank we attempted to rob

123
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: and right then and there, you know, with the guns

124
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 1: to my head and the police, I just kind of

125
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 1: sawt my life kind of flashed before my eyes. Um,

126
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: and it's had this kind of sick feeling like this

127
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: can't be it. Like I knew there was more in me,

128
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: and I wanted more for myself, and I knew, you know,

129
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: my family wanted more for me. And so I promised

130
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: myself that I was gonna make this story. I was

131
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: gonna make this you know, limits turned into lemonade, and

132
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: this wasn't gonna be the end of my legacy. But

133
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: but in the part of making that decision, you know,

134
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: your decision that you made on that being on the

135
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: floor came with consequences so that you couldn't control, okay,

136
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: and also unknown because you're about to go into environment

137
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: it's pretty intimidating. So two things I gotta ask you,

138
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Being that you was tied to sports, there was an

139
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: avenue or positivity. But then the gang banking, because I

140
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: want to undergo a clear understanding because I'm never participating

141
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: in the game. What attracted to you to the gang

142
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: participation and what held you in that position to be

143
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: in a position where you were robbing a bank? Yeah,

144
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: so um, and my story kind of weaves into why

145
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: I'm in the Watch community now. It's it's a story

146
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: of generational kind of cycling passing down. So Um. I

147
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: grew up in San Bordino, which is uh inner city

148
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: much like Watts or Oakland, a lot of projects, a

149
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: lot of poverty, and therefore a lot of the gangs,

150
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: and so my uncle's were involved in it, and you know,

151
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm looking up to them, and it's just in that

152
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: inner city environment back then. It's getting better now, but

153
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: we still have work to do. A lot of the

154
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: male role models where individuals involved in gangs or drugs

155
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: or some type of criminal activity, and as a young boy,

156
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: you're looking up and seeing that as an example of

157
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: what manhood is. There's a miseducation and so you're falling

158
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: those steps and you have a work mentality thinking that Okay,

159
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: to be a real man, I gotta do X Y

160
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: and Z for an example of these basically criminals. And

161
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: so it's it's it was really easy to to get

162
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: pulled into um. You you you feel like we're in

163
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: the inner city and it's a it's a misconception and

164
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: this is what we're trying to expose that to bring

165
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: truth in life. But you feel like you have limited

166
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: options to where either to make money, I gotta play sports,

167
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: but where I gotta do some illegal hustle because I

168
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: don't have another realistic avenue for me to help get

169
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: out of this poverty uh and its hardship in its

170
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: inner city. And so I bit into that line. And

171
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: so that's why I had won foot in sports, which

172
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: is was typical for a lot of males in the

173
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: inner city. And then you got that pool. You're in

174
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: your environment, you surrounded and so I'm getting pulled by

175
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: my environment to do that. And so that was that

176
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: duality where I found myself, you know, on that on

177
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 1: that bank floor. And it wasn't the first time you know,

178
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: we had done something you legal, So it was like

179
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: a build up a peak and say, my life, the reason,

180
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: the reason of my ryan you know, you know, I'm

181
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 1: not putting you on the Front Street. We're just telling

182
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: the story about that moment because, like I said, we

183
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: all have a journey to get to that that compromising

184
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: moment where you understand that this is not the direction

185
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: I can continue to live my life, but also the

186
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: one that people know that you can recover, you can't

187
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: make change, because so many people, when they make mistakes,

188
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: they let their mistake overwhelmed them. They make that mistake

189
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: prevent their dreams from happening because they feel that I

190
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: can't recover. And one of the reasons I wanted to

191
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: bring Ryan on the show a show that he's one

192
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: of the many examples of people who have been roadblocked,

193
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: who have been positioned in a high state of negativity,

194
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: but they were they were they were able to come

195
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: out of it by setting a plan in place, because

196
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,320
Speaker 1: you just can't dream your way out of it. You

197
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: have to have a plan. And that plan when you

198
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: got into prison, because you were in prison, how did

199
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: that start leaning into the direction of getting back into

200
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: athletics and how did you stay in shape? Because when

201
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: you came out you attended Laney College in Oakland. Yeah, uh,

202
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: for me, educational big and I believe that to this

203
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: day's part of our three pillars UM with aqua equity, community, environment, education.

204
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: And that doesn't mean you have to get education from college.

205
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 1: That's the route I went, but um, knowledge and education

206
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: is going to help open up a lot of opportunities

207
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: and avenues, open up your mind and help you make

208
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: better choices and help you understand why you where you're

209
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: at and why. Uh So Uh Fortunately in the federal

210
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 1: prison system that I was in, they offered college courses,

211
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: uh continuing adult courses, adult education courses, so I took advantage.

212
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: Um I wanted to. I've always been a curious mind,

213
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,680
Speaker 1: and uh it just I'm thankful that it kind of

214
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: clicked early. Um when I was in prison that education

215
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: was gonna help me turn my life around. So I

216
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: took every college course, every adult continued education course available.

217
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 1: They had, uh courses in finance, the Spanish, heating, denilation,

218
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: air condition, to whatever I can get my hands on.

219
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: End up leaving Fellow prison with probably like nine college

253
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 1: the ano the next conversation of transitioning because there was

254
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: God gave you a natural talent that was sports. And

255
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: I'd say natural talent because you was able to build

256
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: on that which led to you play a college football

257
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: at the University of San Diego. So I don't want

258
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: to miss any steps of this conversation because we all

259
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: know in a journey it's never overnight. I always tell

260
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: people you go to Hollywood, you see a person on

261
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: TV or see him in the movie, believing they just

262
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,840
Speaker 1: didn't walk in Hollywood and get cast you know, there's

263
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: a lot of rejection, there's a lot of frustration. Talk

264
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: about that rejection. Talk about that frustration, and talk about

265
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: people holding your past against you and preventing you from

266
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: living a positive future. Yeah, Uh, well I had when

267
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: I was in prison. I went there right after high school,

268
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: and I was a talented football player in high school. Uh,

269
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: I could in a scholarship if I wouldn't have want

270
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: the criminal route. But so I had these dreams about

271
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: playing football while was in prison all the time, like

272
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: haunting me. And I knew if I didn't go out

273
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 1: there and play after I got out at five, that

274
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: it was gonna bother me for the rest of my life.

275
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: And it was tied into my educational journey. So um.

276
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: Actually was going to junior college for about a year,

277
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: uh doing uh fitness training and you know, had the physique.

278
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: So I got recruited just walking on campus, you know,

279
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: to my classes, and uh, thank god I did. So

280
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: I played for for Laney College, uh coach being They

281
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: just did a Netflix special on Laney College coach being.

282
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: So it was the first year there and I caught

283
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: the attention with coach Hardball and it was his second

284
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: year University of San Diego, and it's one of the

285
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 1: best decisions of my life. Thankfully. I was focused on

286
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: my studies at a three point six six prestigious university,

287
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: so you've gotta have great grades to get there. Uh,

288
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: they accepted me, and um, I got my degree in

289
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: marketing and it really just set my path straight. I

290
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: mean the connections I made, um, you know what I

291
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,680

Speaker 1: not notice. I mean it's it's it's not a diverse campus.

308
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: Most of the black and brown people that go there

309
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: are playing sports. You know, I'm just being real. So

310
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: when I got there, you know, I'm yoked up big,

311
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 1: ye know I was when I got to University of

312
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: San Diego. So I was always looked at like this,

313
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: there was a story and uh like you know about

314
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,880
Speaker 1: me and uh mystique. So I think the world got

315
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: out like we got this guy on campus who did

316
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: a bid in prison and you know, from the hood.

317
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: So I was kind of like they called me O

318
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 1: G Triple O G around campus. Knew me before, knew

319
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: then just you know, it was rare for somebody to

320
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: be on that campus for my background for sure. That

321
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: that's what we always talk about background, Ryan, you know,

322
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: we talked about the future. Now you know our qua equity, equity,

323
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: you know water, you know, we know California, so you

324
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: know it's a it's a heat wave going on. Let

325
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: me ask you this first of all, when you when

326
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: you see the heat wave does that me revenue in

327
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,479
Speaker 1: your mind? You know people gonna be drinking water? How

328
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 1: do you treat weather in your in your line of business?

329
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: How do you cheat weather in your life? I need

330
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: transition because I see heatwave. I think my air conditioning

331
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: bill is gonna be stot. I need to transition. But

332
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: you're right, uh with the heat. So we have a

333
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: unique route to market and kind of customer base. Being

334
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: a we launched our product in March, right at the

335
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: height of the pandemic. We had to pivot on how

336
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: we were gonna get a route to market and our

337
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: points distribution. UH. So we changed from going to traditional

338
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: retail route to focus on corporate customers. UM. Just by

339
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: you know, being in Watson and UH contributing to the

340
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: community outreach programs, we uh caught the attention and the

341
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: word of mouth got out to several producers UM directors

342
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: UM in the Hollywood industry. Molina matsukis being one of

343
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: the first, and she's awesome. She got us in too

344
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: Warner Media Studios. UM. So we're official vendor and there

345
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: a great customer. But we're picking up corporate customers like Kaiser, Permanente, GM,

346
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: Cadillac and and we're able to sell them larger quantities

347
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: UM and have them as a longer, long term customer

348
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: as opposed to a retail customer. They support our mission

349
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: and TV outreach we do, so you won't see us

350
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: in a traditional retail store as much. UM. We sell

351
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: mostly UH online to to to our customers UM residential customers,

352
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: but our main focuses are corporate customers because they got

353
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: the money to help support these these projects in the

354
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: mission that we have our core equity. You know, it's water,

355
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: That's what you know. It always amazes me that you

356
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: know you have all you go in the store, you

357
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: see all these different bottle brands of water. Were just

358
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: talking about water in general. One what diffrench rates water

359
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: from just tap water? Well, educate us on their own

360
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:57,479
Speaker 1: water process for us, right right, A great question. So

361
00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,160
Speaker 1: it all depends on what your water source. Obviously, these

362
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 1: certain parts of the country, you're gonna have better UH

363
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: natural water sources, whether that's a spring, the ground water table. Um.

364
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: So what we have is too offerings. We have a

365
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: pure mount of spring water out of Tiger Georgia. UM.

366
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: They have some of the best smooth the taste of

367
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 1: spring water in California. A lot of people are apprehensive

368
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: about spring water, so we were very careful and picking

369
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: the right one. And then we have an electrolyte and

370
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: enhanced water. What that means is the water is purified

371
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 1: through reverse osmosis and then we add calcium, magnesium and

372
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: potassium for the electrolytes to keep you hydrated um or

373
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: rehydrated faster. So those are two main offerings UM and

374
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean it's very simple. You know, rais up a

375
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: great point. You know, you can get water from a tap.

376
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: But so what we say is that we're not really

377
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: selling water. We're selling the good works in the mission

378
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: uh that we do and bringing people, bringing our customers

379
00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: in that can't physically be there to be a part

380
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: of it. Well, it's important. I'm talking to Ryan Morgan.

381
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: You know, our equity is his line of business, you know,

382
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: but his company operates on three pillars, and we want

383
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,959
Speaker 1: to talk about those three pillars. One his community, one

384
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: his environment, and one his education. Now, it's always important

385
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 1: to have a direction, and you're motivated by your past

386
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: to have a brighter future, and I want to go

387
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: immediately down to one. We continue that conversation because I

388
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: think education has changed my life. You know, if I

389
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: didn't have an education, then I wouldn't have direction in life.

390
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,719
Speaker 1: So I always tell people if you just go to college,

391
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: just go to college for the experience, because I like

392
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: high school. You have options in college. You know, you

393
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: don't have to take a course, it's just because that's

394
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: part of the curriculum for you being a junior, senior,

395
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: a freshman in college in high school. So college have

396
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 1: impacted you educationally. Talk about that and then talk about

397
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: why it is one of the pillars with your watch

398
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: community core. Yeah, absolutely, thank you. So you know, college

399
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:56,919
Speaker 1: is one of the best experiences of my life, not

400
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: only because of the knowledge and education, but to connectations

401
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: and two of my co founders UM I met in college.

402
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: We played football together in for San Diego UM and

403
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: part of that was that bonding experience creative in college.

404
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: So yeah, I do recommend individuals to seek out of

405
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 1: college UM that that's accessible and and you know that

406
00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: you don't have to go into debt for get that education.

407
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:26,040
Speaker 1: You have a great experience. UM. So you know our

408
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: three pillars community, UM, environment, education, Education pieces huge because

409
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 1: UM I realize how it can change your life in

410
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 1: a lot of people in the inner city that we

411
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: deal with, they still don't know UM, and so we

412
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 1: want to open up opportunities which education can do UM

413
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: and sparked the next generation of innovators and entrepreneurs coming

414
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 1: out of the wast community. And you know, we have

415
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: an entrepreneur training program to do that that we work

416
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 1: with our nonprofit partner uh SO. It's actually great foundation. UM.

417
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: They are are connected to the l A City Mayor's

418
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: office uh SO GRIT Foundation that operate in thirty two locations.

419
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 1: And then they have a a STEM lab in the

421
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 1: west of the Mississippi, largest in the state. And so

422
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: at that STEM lab we have an entrepreneur training program

423
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:28,120

00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: looks to be about nine or ten, has secured herself

462
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 1: in the booster seat. Dad zips the bag clothes and

463
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: they're off. Ah, but looks like Mom doesn't realize her

464
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 1: coffee cup is still on the roof of the car.

465
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: And there it goes. Oh, that's a shame. That mug

466
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: was a fan favorite. Don't sweat the small stuff, just

467
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: nailed the big stuff, like making sure your kids are

468
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,320

00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: definitely want to do that. You know, because like I said, uh,

487
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: I know that l A was important in my life.

488
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: I lived there from nineteen ninety to two thousand five.

489
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 1: I know the impact is Steve Harvey and I had

490
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: on radio in the community. You know when I hear

491
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: when I see Nickers and gardens man brings back so

492
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: many memories because those are legendary, Uh locations. How's the

493
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: locations in this country? You know you're talking about you

494
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 1: Nikins and guard and you go wow, you know, but

495
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: I have to ask this question here because of the

496
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: fact that this is what happens when you stay in

497
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: the neighborhood so too long. Now it's a core group

498
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: of people that you gang bang with. You know, some

499
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: of them probably got arrested with you use on the

500
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: floor that bank way back in the day when he

501
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: was an eighteen years old any relationship now do you

502
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 1: know where they at or as like all lives that

503
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 1: live that life, it's been cut short, you know. I mean,

504
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: well what you know one of was my family members,

505
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: so he get time too. He got caught up later

506
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: on in the state and this some time and you

507
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 1: know he's out and successful in his own right, so

508
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: he's got his own story to tell. But um, so yeah,

509
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: we keep tabs. And then another one uh went off

510
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 1: later on too, prison stay prisoned for something else that

511
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: got out and you know, he's got a family and kids,

512
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,200
Speaker 1: so you know he's got a great life to them.

513
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: So there's some some kind of beauty um for those

514
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: ashes right there. Yeah, because I do want to bring

515
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: out I don't I said, I do want to bring

516
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: that up because that's a journey and you share those

517
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 1: journeys with individuals and just you know that what I'm

518
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: just trying to get out of your story, right And

519
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: of course, you know the aqua equity is that your

520
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: your story has told so many different ways by so

521
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: many different people who don't look like you but share

522
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: the same path. You know, I can tell my innerguty path.

523
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: But again, when you when you hit negativity, there's some

524
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: positivity to come out of it. Now. I wanted to

525
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 1: explain to people that, you know, we just was just

526
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: we didn't have the mentors, we didn't have the tools,

527
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 1: we didn't have the environment. But wow, if we'd have

528
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 1: had that same opportunity that other people are being blessed with,

529
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: guess who we could have been. You know, we could

530
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: have been we could have been Barack Obama. You know,

531
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: we could have been the Reginald lewis Is of the world.

532
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: You know, we could have been all these great people

533
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: and you are still great people made absolutely and so

534
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: that that's why it's important this interview. When I do

535
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: interviews with an individual, like it's your inspiration to me

536
00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: because I know I know who I am, I know

537
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: what I am capable of doing. I know I'm capable

538
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: of doing because people stop me, Ryan, they stopped me

539
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: to reach oud don't do that. They were mad at

540
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: me when I when I when I didn't follow the

541
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: path of greatness that they saw in me, which is

542
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: off the frustration frustrating because that path that they want

543
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: you to travel, it's kind of hard. It's kind of hard,

544
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 1: and it takes a little discipline. They're involved in that.

545
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: And that's why I want to go back into the

546
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: environment conversation, because the environment really is how you package

547
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: your water, because that's a path you gotta follow rules,

548
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: and a lot of times when you follow rules, it

549
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: can lead to frustration, especially when you're trying to build

550
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: your business model. And one of the second pillows in

551
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 1: there we're talking about education is environment, and then we're

552
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: gonna roll it up and talk about the community, how

553
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: you giving back. But I thought it was really important

554
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: to tell your story. Man not only the journey, but

555
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: what you're doing now and how to just structure thought

556
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: process you turn around not on your life but the

557
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: community of Watch. Let's talk about environment. Yeah, I mean

558
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: so the environment piece. I talked about it two ways,

559
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: you know. First with our packaging, UH, so you kind

560
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: of see the bottle behind me, aluminum bottle UM. We

561
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,479
Speaker 1: especially in California, the single use plastic is a big issue,

562
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 1: and so we didn't want to contribute to a problem.

563
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: We we wanted to help alleviate the problem. And there's

564
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:35,920
Speaker 1: not a lot of bottle waters uh packaged in reusable aluminum,

565
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,200
Speaker 1: recyclable aluminum. So we went that way to kind of

566
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: start a trend and and be first movers in this category.

567
00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: But we felt it was really important to us that

568
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: our packaging being aligned with UH you know, where our

569
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 1: heart is is to take care of the community, the environment.

570
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: So and then the other piece of the environment is

571
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: UM me showing up to the Watch environment, to other

572
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: community us in that environment, UM and telling my story

573
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 1: so that other kids or even adults that made mistake

574
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: realize that it's not over. It doesn't matter what happened yesterday.

575
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: Picked yourself up, be determined, to to to keep grinding,

576
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: to keep working towards your goals. Um, and you'll get there.

577
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: People will help will help you. UM. But a lot

578
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: of it is a mindset shift, and that's what we're

579
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: trying to spark, is uh, that mindset shift and open

580
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: up there kind of thought process. Uh. Two different opportunities

581
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: instead of the traditional current environmental opportunities that are a

582
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,719
Speaker 1: cycle to prison or death right now, the last one

583
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 1: is community, you know, because we know it's really how

584
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: you've overcome a lot of things in life, dream dreams

585
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: sometimes because the pandemic could have been a dream killer

586
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: because you started this whole concept and march of a

587
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: and then in cried several corporate customers such as Wanta Media,

588
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: k depermanented General Motors Corporation, and these are like these

589
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: are what we'd like to call Fortune five companies. Okay,

590
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 1: every time that logo appears on the website that you have,

591
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: it brings more credibility. But it's the bottom line is

592
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: the community made you, It raised you. Now you're giving

593
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: back to it. Talk to us. Yeah, I mean I

594
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: mean absolutely, And you know, I love Sanbordino, I love

595
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: Watson and Oakland and Flint and these other black and

596
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: brown cities industries. I ain't even been there, and I

597
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: can say that because there's so many parallels. When I

598
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 1: was in federal prison, I got to be locked up

599
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 1: around brothers and you know, black and brown brothers all

600
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: over the country, and I realized that, you know, we

601
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: pretty much going through the same struggles. Um and ghettos

602
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 1: were designed right, So it's not a surprise now to

603
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: learn that there's some of the same struggles going on

604
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: in Watts that are in Oakland, that are in Cleveland,

605
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: that are in Detroit, that are in Lanta. So anyways,

606
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,480
Speaker 1: UM community. I love the resilience of the people in

607
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:10,920
Speaker 1: those communities, um uh, their mindset, you know, how they

608
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: find joy and happiness with you know, very very little

609
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: resources compared to you know, what they're aware of around them.

610
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: So I love that residence and that that fighting at people.

611
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: So I'm there with them to encourage them, to to

612
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: help them, and to to show them away. There's other

613
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,440
