00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: it's the part that we try to you know, kind

86
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: of camouflage not necessarily high, but sometimes we've got a

87
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: lot of juice and we want to be careful with

88
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: how we give the juice. So that's what we're doing.

89
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 1: We're just designing for curvy women. And it's on it's

90

92
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: to expand it a lot more in the future. How

93
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: do you market How do you market? I know you're

94
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: doing it on this show. Do you just market on

95
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: your social media? Do you model your clothes or your

96
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,039
Speaker 1: social media? How do you get the word out about

97
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 1: the clothing line? You know? So I definitely have been

98
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: using my um social media. We are definitely kind of

99
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: working now on adding public relations or pr UM to

100
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: the marketing strategy that we do, but we basically seek

101
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 1: those opportunities. We look at our customers. Now we're studying

102
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: the occupations of our customers to not just go to

103
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: like plus size events or UM where the plus size

104
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: community is. We're trying to now go to where that

105
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: woman is directly to do direct marketing, whether it is

106
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: going to UM, you know, expos that maybe their jobs

107
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: are putting on and considering that there are other women

108
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: that maybe in their fields that are working there. We're

109
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: also doing the whole staturating the plus size market, so

110
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 1: finding those areas of like UM body positivity and going

111
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: to events like Curby con or Essence Fast UM and

112
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: not just like I said, not just trying to go

113
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: to the plus size UM events, but trying to just

114
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: find where the customer is so that we can grow

115
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: the customer base as well as create some sort of

116
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: customer retention. Just constantly saying that we're doing something new

117
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: and fresh and UM. Like we did say, digital influencers

118
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: on social media. That's a big thing. So you have

119
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: YouTubers now and you have people who are posting on

120
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: social media, so we use them as well. UM. Sometimes

121
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: that can be a bit um expensive, but these are

122
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: the sacrifices that we have to make, obviously, and I'm

123
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: sure a lot of us know that that we're listening

124
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: because we are here to make money, but if there

125
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: are parts of investments that are sacrifice that we have

126
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: to make, and it has a lot to do with

127
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: the investment. So that's how we're marketing digital influencers. Um,

128
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: going to the different events, even e marketing as far

129
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: as like the Blast and stuff, trying to live in

130
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: their emails but not get on their nerves, just to

131
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: stay in their face. Um, as the old folks used

132
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: to say, out of out of sight, out of mind,

133
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: and we try to just keep it in their face

134
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 1: and showing different ways of how it can be styled.

135
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: And that's pretty much how we're doing. We're really trying

136
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: to get back to into the Facebook way of marketing

137
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: as well, and um, that's pretty much it. Now. Okay,

138
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: now now we made that shift. Now, now we've got

139
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: to go over to this Lifetime movie about the Clark's

140
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: sister's biopic were You Will Be Betraying your Mother gospel

Speaker 1: more insight. My mom. She is, uh, the woman who

147
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: brought me into this world. I wasn't able to see

148
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: the auditions of the other actors, but I will say

149
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: for me it was very special. Um. I was really

150
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,679
Speaker 1: nervous about it, and I put my best foot forward.

151
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: And it's really special to me. Like while it is

152
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: a great opportunity and I'm so thankful for it and

153
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: just blessed that the Lord would even allow me to have,

154
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, uh, the opportunity to be on such platform

155
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: like with Lifetime and so forth. Um, But to me

156
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: it's even special. It's beyond the world, and it's beyond

157
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: the platform. This is me delivering from my mom to

158
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 1: tell her story again and so that she can see

159
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: before her eyes, this is what you've done. And to

160
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 1: really applaud yourself for what you have experienced and how

161
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: you maintain your grace as well as your timelessness. Um

162
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: as a mother, a wife, artist, and as a public figure. Um.

163
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: So it's really sensitive for me. It's it's I hold

164
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: it dear to my heart, and UM, I hope it's

165
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: She's brought to tears with just the delivery and seeing that, Wow,

166
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm able to see myself again, UM, And

167
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: I hope that it's the way of me paying homage

168
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: to her. So it's really special for me. And it

169
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. I can't wait for you

170
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: all to see it because hearing their story and them

171
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: you know, being open and transparent about what has happened

172
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: um through the years, as well as just even acknowledging

173
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 1: or noticing their accomplishments by just speaking the name of

174
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: Jesus through love music stage. It was just it's just powerful.

175
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: So I can't make it for you are to see it. Okay,

176
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: where did you so? I'm assuming that what you're talking

177
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: that you've already shot the project. Yes we have. Okay,

178
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: what what was this shot at? Um? It was shot

179
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: at and I think we were in Canada, right, Okay, cool, okay, cool?

180
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: And did you anything surprised you in the movie? What

181
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: any information you didn't know about your mom or your

182
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: or your aunt. And it was just really engaging what

183
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: they don't set. Did you you know did they Did

184
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: you go to them for thoughts, inspiration, character development? I did, definitely.

185
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 1: I basically stayed on. UM. I kept asking my mom questions.

186
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: I slept with her in my ears. UM, I listened

187
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: to her music. UM. I was listening to the performances literally,

188
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: like just going to sleep with her, watching videos that

189
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: were already in my phone with her, just to follow

190
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: and watch her mannerisms and just to study her. Um.

191
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: They were one set, and they did have some interaction. UM.

192
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: And it's a lot more. I don't want to give

193
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: too much because I don't think I'm released too, but

194
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: I'm giving you a huge precursor of everything. But yes,

195
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: it was very interactive. That money make conversation. See, I'm

196
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: gonna ask questions that the average person wouldn't know because

197
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: I'm a producer managed talent. So but let me. You said,

198
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: said she does a little love. You said little habits.

199
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: What was one habit that you can tell me that

200
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: your mom does? Did that you make sure you included

201
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: in the movie. She's very soft spoken, but when she speaks,

202
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: she comes with power. UM. And so that's not an

203
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: easy thing to embrace because I am the opposite of

204
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 1: my mom. I am a little bit more um bolsterous

205
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 1: if that If that makes sense, I don't even know

206
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: if that's the word. But I talked a little more

207
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: than my mom, So I had to practice being quiet

208
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: and I love practicing that and if now even a

209
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: life skill that I would like to embrace a bit

210
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: more um. But I noticed that that she does that

211
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: she speaks um. She speaks a little, like very little,

212
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: but even when she hits the stage, just like whoa,

213
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: you're a completely different person. So I really tried to

214
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: portray that. Again. I want to thank for Kire for

215
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: coming on the show, great time as always. She has

216
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 1: a clothing line that you can get on your Love

217
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: and sixty. It's on Macy's dot com Real popular, and

218
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: I just love how she's taking control of a brand

219
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: and more important. On May tenth, uh don't judge Me,

226
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: I was looking for a better way to check in

227
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: on our house while I was at work, and a

228
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: friend recommended Blink. I was skeptical but decided to give

229
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: it a shot, and I bought a Blink camera system.

230
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: With our last security system, false alarms, wires everywhere, and

231
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: monthly fees, we couldn't get out of my bad. But

232
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: our Blink system is different. Their motion activated cameras that

233
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: work inside and outside, their wire free, easy to set up,

234
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: and they run on two lithium batteries that last up

235
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: to two years. Total peace of mind and Blink camera

236
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: system started under eighty bucks with no subscriptions. We were

237
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: on vacation and I gotten to learn of my smartphone

238
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: that motion was detected at our front door. I checked

239
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: my Blank app and I saw it was just my

240
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: cool new device being delivered. Hey, we agreed no new

241

00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: be on time. I just love what I do and

309
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: I hope everybody enjoy the work, and I teach people

310
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: also to take off. Every day you get a chance,

311
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: well take off the course. You know what I'm saying. Absolutely,

312
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, one of the things every

313
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: time you come on my show has been inspirational. We know,

314
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: we know you're funny, but I think what you always

315
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: drop these nuggets of of life, life and misresponsibilities. And

316
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: also don't do what you don't enjoy. You know exactly exactly,

317
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: and then you're smart. You know. Uh, people, if you're

318
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: working in hospital, you work in the hospital. You don't

319
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: have to go to work and set you know, don't

320
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: just becose you're working in hospool you think you're still

321
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: don't get well on calling said, if any place you

322
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: call it sick, you call and ticket the hospital. But again,

323
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: they might ask you to come to work so you

324
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: can find out what's wrong with me. Thinking like that's like,

325
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: people just turn around. It doesn't matter which we go.

326
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: We can make it a joke and it's funny and

327
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: it makes sense. Let's talk a little bit about this

328
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: show because because I'm kind of mad with you about

329
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: the Vegas show, because you know, I love Vegas. I

330
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: defined out through my staff that you're back in Vegas.

331
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: Then they pulled it up on the screen, you know,

332
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 1: showing how you can get tickets, got that nice little bio,

333
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: got your little hat on everything that you that's kind

334
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: of like part of your brain and everything thinking, you know,

335
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,199
Speaker 1: peeping from around the curtain and everything. So what we

336
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: remember previously when you had your vague A show, you

337
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,960

Speaker 1: are you doing the same thing at this show? It

340
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,879

Speaker 1: So how does the tax Tuesday on your social media

448
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: been working for you? Um? It has been good. Last

449
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: year was very very good. This year, I think because

450
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: now everywhere I go, people says, Okay, you're the tax lady.

451
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: This year, I did like one or two and then

452
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: tax season started and everything just when became a blood

453
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: because I got so inundated with new clients, and especially

454
00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: with these taxtar changes, everybody really wanted a tax to

455
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 1: pay and not necessarily them doing it on their own.

456
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: Um So, I will admit I was probably not as

457
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: consistent the season with tax tip two today just because

458
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 1: the business I mean, people were coming out of nowhere

459
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: that I have never met, never heard of, um which

460
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,400
Speaker 1: is a great thing. But certainly I think that that

461
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: is how I've become so well, you ran yourself your

462
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: yourself of social media, you ran yourself off your own show,

463
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: what you say yourself, you canceled your own show through

464
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: the popularity. But I just got too busy. I didn't

465
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: and that and that was my fault because you know now,

466
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 1: of course you also know I have a corporate full

467
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: time career as a business finance manager where I take

468
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: care of forty two locations at the same time, so

469
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: all the businesses we talk about are aside from you know,

470
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: I have a twenty three year corporate career as well,

471
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: um so juggling all those things. But no, I certainly

472
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: think it was from you encouraging me that you know, Foosh,

473
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: you have to stop being scared. You just have to

474
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: go live every Tuesday, share information and people will come,

475
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 1: and as I said, they have continued to come. Just

476
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: like you talked you would. Well, you know, it's amazing

477
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: that your energy and your your belief in yourself so

478
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: proud of what your accomplishing as a mom with your daughter,

479
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: your you understand the balance of life, of having a

480
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: balance life not only with your daughter but with friends

481
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: and family members. You know, you, you know that's the

482
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that's always shined in my relationship

483
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: with you is that you just you just enable me

484
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: to say other people, Yes, you can do a lot

485
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: of your accomplished a lot of dreams. You can be

486
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: very busy, but you have to make time for family,

487
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: have to make time with people who are helping you

488
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 1: get there. So any party, any any party words uh

489
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: law foods um. I think that the biggest thing is

490
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: to continue to be fearless, continue to make yourself uncomfortable

491
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: so that you're willing to do those things. And like

492
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 1: you said, this guy is a limit and drink. Dreams

493
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: do come true if you just keep you know, adding

494
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: value to other people and developing those relationships that take

Speaker 1: I was looking for a better way to check in

497
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: on our house. While I was at work and a

498
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: friend recommended Blink. I was skeptical, but decided to give

499
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: it a shot, and I bought a Blink camera system.

500
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,239
Speaker 1: With our last security system, false alarms, wires everywhere, and

501
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 1: monthly fees, we couldn't get out of my bad But

502
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: our Blink system is different. Their motion activated cameras that

503
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: work inside and outside, their wire free, easy to set up,

504
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: and they run on two lithium batteries that last up

505
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: to two years. Total peace of mind and Blink camera

506
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 1: system started under eighty bucks with no subscriptions. We were

507
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: on vacation and I gotten to learn of my smartphone

508
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: that motion was detected at our front door. I checked

509
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: my Blink app and I saw it was just my

510
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,840

00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,360

539
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 1: have the talent, but they don't have the terms. And

540
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 1: the terms helps you to be able to escalate the

541
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,560

00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: at the time, my girlfriend what she was doing when

604
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: she was sending me DVDs, and I would get these

605
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: DVDs and watch the movies. And because I didn't speak

606
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: the language and the and the television was in German,

607
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: I ended up going through the movie so fast. I

608
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: started watching the making of those movies, so making up DVDs. Um,

Speaker 1: you know, bonus feats are ats, like all those types

610
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: of things is what I would scan through. And uh,

611
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 1: I became more interested in like how movies were made

612
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 1: and actually watching them. So I would actually watch that

613
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: person did watch the film. And um, little did I know, man,

614
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: I was, you know, going through a metamorphosis. Man, I

615
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 1: was chance formal right there in that moment in time

616
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: in Germany into a filmmaker and did did not know it.

617
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: Um ended up finishing, you know, playing over there, had

618
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: ended up writing the screenplay, which I thought was the

619
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 1: screenplay really was just an idea of a movie on

620
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 1: a mean tablet, brought it back. I went to California like, Yo,

621
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go get this movie made, and everybody I

622
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: know it was like, Yo, what what are you talking about.

623
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, I got the script, I got an idea.

624
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: Let me see the script. And look, man, it's the

625
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 1: words written under tablet. I'm like, Yo, this is dope.

626
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: But I was able to pitch it and people was like, man,

627
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 1: that's a really good idea for a movie. Man. And uh.

628
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: I took that man and went to Hollywood, and for

629
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 1: like two years, everywhere I went I was told no,

630
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: laughed at you know what I mean, like, what are

631
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: you talking about? That's how you do. What you need

632
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: to do is like you gotta write script, and here's

633
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: how you write script. And I learned in the fly man. Eventually, um,

634
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 1: after about three years of really trying to pursue this

635
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: particular idea that I had had met everybody in the

636
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: world that you're not supposed to meet. You know what

637
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: I mean that all the people like, yo, you met

638
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: that dude. That's the words dude on the planet. I'm like, Okay,

639
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 1: well I've met him place, you know, and went around

640
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: and around, and finally, man, a young man came to

641
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: me one day. I was like, man, listen, a good guy, man,

642
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 1: and you really were trying to do it the right way.

643
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: He was like, let me just be honest with you.

644
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: He's like, mostly studios they're not gonna make you a move.

645
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: Probably like for you to make it, you're gonna have

646
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,839
Speaker 1: to go make your own film. What do you mean,

647
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: what do you mean to make my own film? He's like,

648
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: you gotta go get your money right, just scrimp and

649

00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: it that way. I just thought you could go and

652
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: and uh, man, that changed my entire trajectory of what

653
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: I was doing and how I was doing it. And

654
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: a year later, Man, instead of me going to knocking

00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:04,240
Speaker 1: was it was unconventional, it was different. It was a thriller,

712
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: but at the same time, inside of the screenplay, I

713
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: love this this post of this guy, Charlie Peck. These

Speaker 1: emails right like, I'm bad guy. And nothing has changed

731
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,120

00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: on our house while I was at work, and a

808
00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: friend recommended Blink. I was skeptical, but decided to give

809
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: it a shot, and I bought a Blink camera system

810
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,440
Speaker 1: with our last security system, false alarms, wires everywhere, and

811
00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 1: monthly fees. We couldn't get out of my bad. But

812
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: our Blink system is different. Their motion activated cameras that

813
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: work inside and outside their wire free, easy to set up,

814
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: and they run on two lithium batteries that last up

815
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: to two years total. Piece of mind and Blink camera

816
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: system started under eighty bucks with no subscriptions. We were

817
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,799
Speaker 1: on vacation and I gotten to learn of my smartphone

818
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 1: that motion was detected at our front door. I checked

819
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: my Blink app and I saw it was just my

820
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,040

870
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: my My creativity is very intuitive, right, So I'm inspired

871
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: by people I'm in. If it's a if it's a musician,

872
00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm inspired by their lyrics, by the ready them, by

873
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: the melody, by their music, by their performance, and um

874
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: from there, I just idea start to flow. And then

875
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 1: once the idea start to flow, I have to be

876
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 1: able to you know, organize them and put some put

877
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: them together and sell them to the client, but also

878
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,680
Speaker 1: to the companies that they work for and potentially the

879
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: management and all of the decision makers because image is

880
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: an important part of selling any project or a part

881
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 1: of any clients. Um uh, you know, image, images, everything,

882
00:47:38,520 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 1: you know, So for me, it's like that's the process

883
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: I have to you know, I become inspired. I get

884
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: to know my clients as people first and find out

885
00:47:48,040 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 1: what their goals are, who they are, you know, what

886
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 1: they love, what they're into, and how they see themselves,

887
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 1: and then I go I take it from there. And

888
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: that's always been my gift. Even before I was a

889
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: fast and start was I was able to do that

890
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: with my friends, my aunties, my neighbors. I was styling

891
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 1: everyone get paid, because you're gonna get paid. The money

892
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,640
Speaker 1: always comes, and so for me, it was about giving back.

893
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:18,239
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for, you know, my journey. I'm grateful for

894
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: every every single opportunity that I had, and so for me,

895
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: it was a way of giving back to the next

896
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:27,399
Speaker 1: generation that creative and so that's you know, it's a bit,

00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 1: it's a it's a huge part of my legacy. And

00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:39,720

900
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,600

00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: because the show is called money Making Conversations. Always like

917
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: to hear young entrepreneurs hear that story. How how did

918
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: that come about? Well, I've always been a big fan

919
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 1: of m c M since I was younger. Back in

920
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:45,800
Speaker 1: the days, MCM was like one of the biggest factory brands,

921
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: believe it or not, bigger or more popular than Louis

922
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: Vuitton and Gucci. And so I remember my aunties having

923
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:57,400
Speaker 1: those bags, and I remember the music artists and the

924
00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 1: rappers that I looked up to. They were empty and

925
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: off us that dapper damn would be I'm creating, and

926
00:50:03,040 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: so m c M has always been really special and

927
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:10,800
Speaker 1: close to my heart. And last April, I was hired

928
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: by m c MS to create some custom pieces for

929
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: Big Daddy Kane, Rhapsody and Ninth Wonder and it was

930
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:20,800
Speaker 1: for the m c M Puma collaboration. So I created

931
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: custom pieces that would accent these sweatsuits that were MCM

932
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 1: and Puma for the Collapse and shortly after that I

933
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: was appointed global creative Partner because there was a huge

934
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: success and interest around what that. I think, you know

935
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 1: the custom pieces that I had created for the brand.

936
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 1: But the crazy part is that Beyonce, stylist for the

937
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: them m cm leave the trench that I made for

938
00:50:54,040 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: Big Daddy Kane, and she contacted me and was like,

939
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 1: I want one for Beyonce and I was absolutely started

940
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: clean off people off our table. Excuse me, excuse me

941
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: and so um so she told me, and so I said, okay,

942
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,960
Speaker 1: you know, send me as her measurements. Of course I'll

943
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 1: get I'll make you run right away. And so like

944
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks went by and I reached out.

945
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: I said, hey, Serena, you still want to jacket and

946
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 1: she said yes, but I just want to make sure

947
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:24,960
Speaker 1: she's gonna wear it before you go through all the

948
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 1: trouble to make it. And I said, oh man to myself,

949
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 1: but I was like, okay, well we want to make

950
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 1: it anyway, whether she wears it or not, but I'd

951
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: be honored. So maybe about another week went by and

952
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: Zerina calls me and she's like, Mesa, I need a

953
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: fult and CM. Look, okay, I need the jacket, but

954
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 1: I need a full look and I need it in

955
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: three days, and I need you to get it shipped

956
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: to Paris. I said, has anybody passed any money around yet?

957
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: That's all I wanted as as we show, I'll excuse me,

958
00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:05,439
Speaker 1: miss Hilton, where is the money? It does? It does?

959
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:07,720
Speaker 1: And she was ready to pay like she was weighing.

960
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,439
Speaker 1: So she all the business got taken care of, and

961
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 1: I just I when you know again, I told you

962
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: my creativity is intuitive. I just saw a boost, I

963
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:22,359
Speaker 1: saw a penny, I saw the motorcycle trench, and then

964
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,720
Speaker 1: Serena wanted to pay a skate um. So we made

965
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 1: air rings, a cap at, a trench, a boost with

966
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 1: a machine penny it looked like a body suit, made

967
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: it all in three days over Memorial Day weekend, and

968
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: had a ship world that expressed to Paris. Now at

969
00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: this point, I still don't know what it's for. I've

970
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:42,759
Speaker 1: been in this business a very long time, and I

971
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: know that you don't ask any questions, especially with an

972
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 1: artist like Beyonce. You just get it done. And so

973
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: I got it done. And I found out when the

974
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: world found out that it was for her ape video

975
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,360
Speaker 1: for to her it was for her music video which

976
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:08,280
Speaker 1: was um, you know the song feature from her album

977
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: with jay Z Everything Is Love and Um. She also

978
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 1: used this the images from the video for international campaign

979
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: which was used worldwide. So that was another iconic moment.

980
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:27,400
Speaker 1: It was another moment um that became bigger than life.

981
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean she the pictures from the video where in

982
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: Tom Square it was about eight billboards and Tom Square alone.

983
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: They were in train stations, on the side of the buses,

984
00:53:37,080 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 1: on on pay phone. Uh you know our payphones. It

985
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 1: was everywhere. You know, you gotta come back on my

986
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 1: show now. I can't know what you can talk now. See,

987
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: at first we were you know, this relationship is rolling

988
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: that because you're a brand master, a life coach, and architect.

989
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: She's the best. I was looking for a better way

990
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: to check in our house while I was at work

991
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:01,840
Speaker 1: and a friend recommended Blank. I was skeptical, but decided

992
00:54:01,880 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: to give it a shot, and I bought a Blink

993
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: camera system. With our last security system, false alarms, wires everywhere,

994
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,479
Speaker 1: and monthly fees, we couldn't get out of my bad

995
00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: But our Blink system is different. Their motion activated cameras

996
00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 1: that work inside and outside their wire free, easy to

997
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:18,440
Speaker 1: set up, and they run on two lithium batteries that

998
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 1: last up to two years total. Piece of mind and

999
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: Blink camera system started under eighty bucks with no subscriptions.

1000
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: We were on vacation and I gotten to learn of

1001
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 1: my smartphone that motion was detected at our front door.

1002
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 1: I checked my Blink app and I saw it was

1003
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: just my cool new device being delivered. Hey, we agreed

1004
