1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: All right, all right, all right, calm it down. 2 00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:04,480 Speaker 2: At the end of the day, if it's one thing 3 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,160 Speaker 2: I'm always going to remind y'all, is that I was 4 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,560 Speaker 2: once a corporate girly. And you know, when you work 5 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,400 Speaker 2: for a company, you got two choices. You either get 6 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 2: with the program or get lost. Literally, this week we're 7 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:20,159 Speaker 2: dissecting what it truly means to be a part of 8 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,240 Speaker 2: a machine and when you kind of want to rage 9 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:23,320 Speaker 2: against that machine. 10 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: Is it ego? Is it imposter syndrome? 11 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 2: Listen, I've been in a place where I too have 12 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,560 Speaker 2: questioned whether I'm supposed to be in the room, whether 13 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 2: I'm good enough. I've sat here and allowed comparison to 14 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,839 Speaker 2: be the thief of joy many times, And at the 15 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,959 Speaker 2: end of the day, it's just the reality. We are 16 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:44,360 Speaker 2: human beings. Speaking of human beings, why don't we allow 17 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: people to have their own opinions? What is with everyone 18 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: needing to be right or wrong, positive or negative? Do 19 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 2: we not enjoy freedom of speech and being able to 20 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 2: have an opinion and being able to express those opinions 21 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 2: on play in comments and all those things. Speaking of comments, 22 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 2: I really wish some of us would not allow them 23 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 2: to get to us too hard. 24 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 3: Listen. 25 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: I've been a victim of my mental health being destroyed 26 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: in comments. Absolutely, so I actually think I'm the right 27 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,839 Speaker 2: person to speak on someone else who might crash out 28 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 2: for those same comments. In this week's episode, yes, we're 29 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 2: talking breakfast club, we're talking just hilarious, but deeper than that. 30 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 2: We are talking about what happens when you have the 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: expectations from a corporation that you're not owed. We're actually 32 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 2: not owed anything, and so I'm excited to get into 33 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: this conversation.

We'll get to it later. I had a 51 00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 2: full therapy session on formally horrible decisions.

Everyone has one, you know what I mean, 62 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: And to me, I think we have a problem with opinions, 63 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 2: with people wanting them to be right or wrong, when 64 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 2: in reality, baby, it's an opinion. Whether you disagree with 65 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:50,839 Speaker 2: me or agree. 66 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: With me does not make my stance on it right. 67 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: Or wrong. 68 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: And so I mean, at this point you all are 69 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 2: familiar with what happened with the Breakfast Club.

When 102 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: Jess Hilarry has joined the Breakfast Club, I thought she 103 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: I think she's great as a comedian. As a personality. 104 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: I wasn't mad at the selection based on some of 105 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 2: the other people, right, I would have loved personally to 106 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 2: see like Alalah Anthony, even a remy, someone with the 107 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 2: New York flair who has experienced Nonetheless, our issue only 108 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: stemmed from me having a personal thought on her views 109 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 2: on trans rights many and many other and then her 110 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: retort to me calling her transphobic was that I was 111 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 2: a drunk. You don't get past from that, sorry, mind, 112 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 2: you have never been in any room with her, so 113 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 2: just know there were people that got hit on the 114 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: back end, like where the fuck she get this name from? Nonetheless, 115 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 2: My opinions on her now are not that I hate her. 116 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,800 Speaker 1: I don't. And that's the other thing. 117 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: I can dislike someone or have a tit with someone 118 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 2: and not hate them.

I don't. 124 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 5: I think I think both of all the professionals and 125 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 5: y'all are looking at it from breakfast clubs, institution. The 126 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 5: fit the person you obviously saw. 127 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: Everybody who would you have wanted that in that role 128 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 2: because you've done radio. 129 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 3: Absolutely, If not myself, I think Lala Anthony would have 130 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: been great.

I think at 134 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 3: that time she kind of had the Internet on fire 135 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: because she was in the comments talking major shit. She 136 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 3: also has a relationship with Charloamagne. She does it's not 137 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: what you know to you know, right, So I never 138 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,000 Speaker 3: thought that she was a good fit.

And some symptoms 262 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 5: are persistent self doubt and insecurity or fear of failure 263 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 5: and being exposed as a fraud, and difficulty accepting praise 264 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 5: and compliments. 265 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 2: And that's the thing you said it right there.

So I basically saw all the tryouts, right, 302 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 5: I saw Claudia George's everyone, Lauren la Ross's run. When 303 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 5: horrible decisions came through, I saw them, Jason Lee's turn 304 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 5: in the chair, and so I think, you know, when 305 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 5: I when I got there, just basically was like eighty 306 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 5: five percent had already won the race. 307 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 4: Right. 308 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 5: Having said that, though, I think that was probably her 309 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 5: first experience in like corporate, right, and that's like mega corporate. 310 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 5: And the reason I'm saying that too is like I 311 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 5: got my start at Vibe magazine that was like a 312 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,440 Speaker 5: mom and pop shot and by the time I went 313 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 5: to MTV, it was way different.

But I come from accounting and finance, 394 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 2: and I remember working at Goldman, Sachs and e Y, 395 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,399 Speaker 2: all of these senior managers that is when they started 396 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 2: having babies. No one within their first year as a 397 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 2: staff one staff too, even just a manager role. I 398 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 2: remember a lot of the senior managers almost also not 399 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,440 Speaker 2: on no pregnancy pack shit. But after one came back 400 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 2: and got pregnant, the other one left because. 401 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: They were righting it. 402 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 2: There was almost even a planning of pregnancy within the 403 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 2: women senior managers at EY for getting married, for having 404 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 2: babies and family planning, because even they want to be partners, right, 405 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 2: And if you got pregnant as a staff one staff 406 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 2: to a manager, it was very possible that someone would 407 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 2: come in and then that would add another three or 408 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 2: four years to when you would be able to see 409 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 2: the money that you see. And unfortunately, and I'm a 410 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 2: woman that doesn't want kids. But it's also because in 411 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,959 Speaker 2: my mind it never made sense. I think when I 412 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 2: was working in the club, bitch can't work in the club. 413 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: When I hear a bitch was a bar? 414 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 3: I haven't done it all?

As women, there's IUDs, there's bird control. 421 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 7: There's that planning though, I'm talking about the moments that 422 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:58,160 Speaker 7: you're not if. 423 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: You live in a blue state and abortion, I mean, 424 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: I mean to me, I mean that's the thing, Like 425 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,159 Speaker 1: there's intentionality around a lot of things, right, Like you 426 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: apply for jobs with the intention of, you date with 427 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: the intention of To. 428 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,960 Speaker 2: Me, family planning can't just look like an oopsie or 429 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 2: a mistake all the time, so to know, again, this 430 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,240 Speaker 2: is a big factor. I think with this instance with Jess, 431 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 2: there was there was intentionality with becoming a mom, and 432 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 2: again for her to be this upset with iHeart or 433 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 2: how Charlemagne and Envy didn't stick up, it's how Lauren 434 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 2: talks over her.

Do your girl read 505 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 3: those reports because I didn't like doing it anyway, And 506 00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,160 Speaker 3: I'm gonna come in here and be the messy jet. 507 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 3: They didn't bring her in to be the comedian.

Yes, report reader, 509 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 3: let her do that. 510 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: But the ego, yeah, ego to watch. 511 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 6: This, you wake up. 512 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 8: She fed the baby, put some coffee in her body, 513 00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 8: She opens the phone. 514 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: Yes, oh. 515 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: Okay, and she's festering this and then guess what she 516 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 2: came in and they just. 517 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 6: So she goes on live. I'm sick of this ship. 518 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 6: They don't have my bag. They do this, she took. 519 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 3: Apparently they've had conversations behind the sees well, but now 520 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 3: she's answering to the people answering. She admitted that she 521 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 3: feels the same way. 522 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 2: So to me, here's the thing. I I'm everything under 523 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 2: the sun. I have comments about everything. 524 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: Y'all could think I'm wrong, y'all can think I'm right. 525 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: I don't care. 526 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 2: But because I'm someone who speaks on so much, maybe 527 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,159 Speaker 2: when the weight of those comments get to me, I 528 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,640 Speaker 2: call my therapist, right, because how can I really sit 529 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 2: here and be the pot calling the kettle black all 530 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 2: the time publicly? Like girl, you literally have just with 531 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 2: the mess where you talk shit about people. 532 00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 3: Right, that's how you got on talking shit about people. 533 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,679 Speaker 1: And mind you not only people communities, because that's how 534 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 1: the community, the trans communities, all communities, all communities. 535 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 3: I also have a personal situation with her because she 536 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 3: jumped down my throat because I felt that she was 537 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 3: disrespecting the black community. I think it was the neighborhood talk. Okay, 538 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 3: she was sticking up for Jojo Se was. She was 539 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 3: saying that Jojo Sea was dresses fine. She was like, 540 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 3: y'all bitches be letting your sixteen year old daughters come 541 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 3: out with bluey shorts. So I commented back, like, sis, 542 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 3: this is a blog that it's predominantly black. I think 543 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 3: you might not want to use the first thing she said, 544 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 3: almost a site bitch y'a don't like you anyway, hold 545 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 3: on now, hold on now. But with that being said, 546 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 3: the commentary now has absolutely nothing to do with that, 547 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 3: because I've seen her several times, was never on site, 548 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 3: so clearly that is not an issue. 549 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,040 Speaker 1: I think though. 550 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 2: But that's the thing with us as well, and I 551 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 2: know we've talked about it, even within the rat beef 552 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,120 Speaker 2: element of it all, like there's just so many things 553 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 2: getting personal when really, at the end of the day, 554 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 2: we're all cultural commentators. We all are here to interact. 555 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,679 Speaker 3: That goes back to emotional intelligence, and I get it. 556 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 3: I was alive. I'm still a fire cracker, but I'm 557 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 3: not really thinking thinking in those terms, like for real. 558 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: First off. 559 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 3: Them, we got part like, what are we talking about here, y'all? 560 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 3: We have way too much money to lose. 561 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: We have responsibilities, you have two children, how to look 562 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: after I have. 563 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 3: A cat baby? You know I have a cat. 564 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 2: So then I want to get back into again, maybe 565 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: taking us away from breakfast club and going into the 566 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,160 Speaker 2: corporate element of. 567 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 1: It all in terms of entitlement. 568 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 2: And how I kind of started and prefaced this all 569 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,399 Speaker 2: was don't hate the player, hate the game. 570 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: We are all pawn. 571 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 2: Pieces in whatever element we decide to be in. Right, 572 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 2: if you applied for a job, you are actively signing 573 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 2: on to be a subordinate to someone else that has power, 574 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 2: that can tell you what to do and what not 575 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 2: to do. And that's just what it is. If you 576 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 2: want to make the rules, make your own game, become 577 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 2: an entrepreneur, be someone that. But it's funny because I 578 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 2: just sat on the women in panel conversation and everyone's 579 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 2: giving these flowery ass bits of advice, and I said, listen, 580 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be real to y'all. 581 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 1: Send in the audience. A lot of y'all are workers. 582 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 2: You're not bosses. You probably don't have the ability to 583 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: create your own ip or to do this, And so 584 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 2: there's a lot of ways in which we don't hold 585 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 2: the mirror up and look at what we're really capable 586 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,959 Speaker 2: of what art are, our strengths are, what our weaknesses are, 587 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 2: what our skills are, and what really makes sense for 588 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:09,719 Speaker 2: us to just live life and be fucking happy, right 589 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 2: and so in terms, and. 590 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:16,440 Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with being a worker. She hates workers. 591 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,880 Speaker 1: I can't say delivery. 592 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 3: Corporate nine to five entrepreneur.

These corporate bubbles 650 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 2: not only will have you and I so as I 651 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 2: want to bring up another thing that got me into 652 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 2: thick water. This was during my uh see the thing 653 00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,120 Speaker 2: is run. We were talking about being a business owner 654 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 2: and having compassion for loss. So we know that there's bereavements, 655 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 2: there's grieving periods and things like that. And as a 656 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 2: business owner now I shared my thoughts on maybe how 657 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,840 Speaker 2: long I feel like you should have of course now 658 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 2: because I'm a human first, because apparently other corporations are human, 659 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 2: I have to People were telling me I should allow 660 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 2: someone as long as they need paid. No, okay, but 661 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 2: your job may not be here when you get back, 662 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,000 Speaker 2: and that was the must go on because the show in. 663 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 1: Any umbrella element must go on. And that's the problem. 664 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:55,479 Speaker 3: I know. 665 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 2: We view each other as human beings first. Unfortunately, when 666 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 2: you be I'm a part of a machine. You're a 667 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 2: part of the machine. The human element of us dissipates. Unfortunately. However, 668 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 2: now is a business owner, you can your business will crumble, 669 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 2: the machine will be broken if you sit here and 670 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 2: then look at all of your pieces or employees as 671 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 2: human beings and allow them grace. 672 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 1: Which is why I be like I. 673 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 2: Hate when grace come because everyone accepts these elements of grace, 674 00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 2: Like I think limits, there's limits to grace. Grace can go. 675 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:40,640 Speaker 2: Now in terms of grace, I want to go into 676 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:48,680 Speaker 2: that too. From a personality standpoint, a podcaster standpoint, hating 677 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 2: the person you work for, while also maybe hating some 678 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 2: of the people you work with and navigating through it. 679 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:57,960 Speaker 1: I say that because. 680 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 2: A lot of people boom from TLC, Backstreet Boys, even 681 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,719 Speaker 2: the era of the girl group, boy band era, they 682 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,759 Speaker 2: were all friends. Now we're seeing behind the music, and 683 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,800 Speaker 2: they all hated hat in our lives. 684 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,440 Speaker 1: No again, Corporate people viewing this. 685 00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 2: Entertainment space is something completely different is just outlandish because 686 00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 2: they expect all of us to be friends, all of them. 687 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 3: We're just happy. We got to dress like ourselves, talk 688 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,239 Speaker 3: like I solve what's the problem we're making money talking 689 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:27,879 Speaker 3: shit on the mic. 690 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no, because. 691 00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 2: We are still dealing with not the machine, but the 692 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 2: human element. And they remove that like someone could say 693 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,799 Speaker 2: something or I could just not like someone. I don't 694 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 2: like it. 695 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 3: I just don't like you.

So I say that to say, how do 702 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 2: we correlate that us staying somewhere hating our boss is 703 00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,000 Speaker 2: the same way as us showing up on a pod, 704 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 2: maybe not liking the person we're sitting by, or having 705 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 2: a guest on that we really don't like. Like, there's 706 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,640 Speaker 2: all of those elements. I mean, you've written books for 707 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 2: people that you know, you like or don't like, or 708 00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:22,560 Speaker 2: who knows.

I think no, 713 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 3: it's an experience that you need it. You need to 714 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,280 Speaker 3: walk the walk to know it. You can't just because 715 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 3: from the outside looking in, everything looks glamorous. It's like 716 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:45,839 Speaker 3: you're doing whatever it is that you want. How can 717 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,520 Speaker 3: you have an issue with this?

At the end 947 00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,680 Speaker 2: of the day, men and women both have egos. We're 948 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,400 Speaker 2: both existing in a landscape where now as well, if 949 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 2: we're talking about us within blackness, a lot of us 950 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 2: don't come from generational wealth or parents who are entrepreneurs, 951 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,160 Speaker 2: So a lot of us are throwing spaghetti at the 952 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,120 Speaker 2: goddamn wall and seeing what fits. And unfortunately, when you 953 00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:33,600 Speaker 2: create partnerships with friends or with other black and brown individuals, 954 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:36,560 Speaker 2: we all have this idea. 955 00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:40,080 Speaker 1: Of what a business looks like being ran. We all 956 00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:41,480 Speaker 1: have an idea of that. 957 00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:45,560 Speaker 2: But also, unfortunately, because we strive and seeing what we see, 958 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,760 Speaker 2: we idolize the criminals, we idolize the rappers, we autolize 959 00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 2: the wealth of it all. We also autolize ego, and 960 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:56,000 Speaker 2: that's the problem.

Yeah, 1020 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,799 Speaker 2: because in terms of again learning business, you go into 1021 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,759 Speaker 2: a business, you both start the business, so it's a 1022 00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:43,719 Speaker 2: fifty to fifty profit split, and then one person is 1023 00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 2: doing ninety percent of the work and this person is 1024 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,959 Speaker 2: still receiving fifty percent of profice splits.
