00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 4: So invest Fest twenty twenty four back in the land.

18
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 2: For people that don't know what invest Fest is, break

19
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 2: down what invests Fest is and why they should be there,

20
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: why they need to be fourth.

21
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 3: Annuel too, that's very important to.

22
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 5: Sayel for sure. So it's a we wanted to make

23
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 5: it where. You know, music festivals became very popular, right

24
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 5: from Rolling Loud to Coachella to Root's Picnic, and that

25
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 5: feel of a music festival, it's just a good vibe.

26
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 5: If you ever mental music festival and then business conferences.

27
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 5: Usually business conferences are more like Stush and more corporate,

28
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 5: so we wanted to combine a music festival with the

29
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 5: education and format of a business conference. So that's where

30
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 5: investments came from. So we got, you know, food trucks,

31
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 5: we got musical performances. We have a Vendom marketplace. But

32
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 5: we also have panels on crypto, on real estate, on stocks,

33
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 5: home buying, so all of the education is there, but

34
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 5: it's fun. It's a vibe. It's not stush. You don't

35
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 5: have to feel intimidated. It's for people that might have

36
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 5: just graduated from college, or for people that are CEOs

37
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 5: of companies right anywhere in between. So we want to

38
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 5: just create that vibe. And it's the fourth year and

39
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 5: then I feel like this year is going to be

40
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 5: the biggest year as far as our lineup, as far

41
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 5: as what we got give back and everything. So really

42
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 5: looking forward to.

43
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: Break down the line of because I mean, y'all had

44
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 2: Tyler Perry before, So Tyler Perry, you said Bigger, So yes,

45
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: I love Tyler.

46
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 3: That that's business and entertainment, but y'all be having some

47
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 3: real big.

48
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 6: I think it's important to blend both, right, so people

49
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 6: can see aspiration from different aspects. So, yeah, Tyler Perry

50
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 6: is huge, but like if you see, over the past

51
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 6: couple of years, he's been mentoring a guy named Curtis Jackson,

52
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 6: and so fifty is our headliner this year, which is

53
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 6: incredible because we know him from music, right, we've watched

54
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 6: since two thousand and two when he took over. In

55
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 6: two thousd three, obviously when we get risk came out.

56
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 6: But now what he's done inside the world the business

57
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 6: is equally as impressive. But he hasn't had the opportunity

58
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 6: yet or given anybody the opportunity to talk about that

59
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 6: business acting. And I'm sure you know you watched your firsthand,

60
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 6: so that's important. We want to highlight him and his

61
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 6: success in business.

62
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: We got Steven A.

63
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,959
Speaker 6: Smith what he's doing in media right now, sharing that

64
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 6: Sharp is going to be there for the IP night,

65
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 6: So what they've done inside the media is important. And

66
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 6: we got local entrepreneurs too, man, I mean, damon, John's

67
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 6: gonna be there, People's so you got all these heavy

68
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 6: hitters inside there, but I'm getting to the local entrepreneurs. Yeah,

69
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,359
Speaker 6: so local entrepreneurs is important too, right, because Pigky Cole

70
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 6: is that next person up when we're.

71
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: Talking about a billion dollar evaluation.

72
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 6: We've we're watching it happen in real time, and so

73
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 6: we want to have that comp that commerce and culture

74
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 6: mix where it's like, yeah, you could be a fortune

75
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 6: five hundred CEO, but you could be coming from high school.

76
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: Like we got kids coming down there. We got a

77
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,399
Speaker 1: hundred kids from New York City. That's fine.

78
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 6: Now we find fifty kids from our community so they

79
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 6: can see it, because once they see it, you can't

80
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 6: see it. I always tell people like in that's that's

81
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 6: it's cool, but you've got experience it in real life

82
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 6: in person, because it's just a different feel.

83
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 7: One thing that I've been paying attention to. I see

84
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 7: that y'all got the Marathon gonna be there.

85
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, Black Sham.

86
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 5: Well, Black Sam and JP JP they gonna be speaking

87
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 5: and then they bringing their whole team, but those two

88
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 5: will be on stage with us.

89
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 7: And y'all got a partnership with Microsoft and and the

90
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 7: Marathon for a pitch competition.

91
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, and Lauren Lundon's gonna be there with somebody that

92
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 5: we it's crazy. We never got a chance to meeting it,

93
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 5: but he was one of the people that we definitely

94
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 5: wanted to interview because everything that we embody, that's what

95
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 5: he stood for as far as entrepreneurship and being independent

96
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 5: f the middle man, that's what that's like his whole slogan.

97
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 5: So we never got a chance to meet him unfortunately

98
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 5: passed away, but we really built wrong relationships with every

99
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 5: single person that was next to him or close to them.

100
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 5: So Black Sam Man, that's my guy. And you know,

101
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 5: Sam don't really talk too much at all, so you know,

102
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 5: like if you develop a relationship with Sam, it's a

103
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 5: real relationship. It's not like no industry shit. So we

104
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 5: wanted to on and Nip. We pitched to him the

105
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 5: idea of having a pitch competition kind of like Shark

106
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 5: Tank right where it's like we're gonna have one hundred

107
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 5: people and then the first round is the hundred people's

108
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 5: gonna audition like America's Got talent. Then from there for

109
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 5: people will be selected to the next round, and then

110
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 5: we're going to pick one person live on stage, and

111
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 5: the winner of that is gonna get a hundred thousand

112
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 5: dollars to their business. So it's a really dope opportunity

113
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 5: anybody can enter as long as you got to get

114
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 5: anybody can enter, and I think, you know, to be able.

115
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 5: We talk about access to capital a lot and fearless finally,

116
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 5: you know, for right, So they trying to take away

117
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 5: access to capitol. We already have no access to capital

118
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 5: really if you think about it. So anytime you can

119
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 5: really give people, you know, money towards their business, like

120
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 5: that's could be life changed. You never know what that

121
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 5: can turn into.

122
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 7: So the money is one thing, but the information to

123
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 7: do with the money, So you'll give them that peaceful.

124
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure. So we're gonna be working with them

125
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 5: because you're right, we don't And that's part of the

126
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 5: vetting process too, to make sure that they kind of

127
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 5: already are on track to be successful, because you don't

128
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 5: want to give somebody money then they nothing is ever guaranteed,

129
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 5: but we want to make sure that we put them

130
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 5: in the best situation possible to win. So definitely mentorship.

131
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 5: We're going to give them all all of our resources

132
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 5: as far as like accountants, lawyers and stuff like that

133
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 5: so they can be successful. And yeah, so we had

134
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 5: that already done and then when Microsoft came in, they

135
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 5: wanted to be a part of it. So we was like, well,

136
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 5: this is something that we're doing if you guys want

137
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 5: to chip in on it. So it's a collaboration as

138
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 5: far as that one hundred thousand from Microsoft earn your

139
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 5: Lisia and the Neighborhood Nip Foundation, and we're doing that,

140
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 5: and Marathon is going to have a pop up shop

141
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 5: yes at Investments. That's their first pop up shop in

142
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 5: the landa in over ten years. And then Lauren London

143
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 5: we're doing a twenty five thousand dollars giveaway well Lauren

144
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,119
Speaker 5: London to a woman led business in healthcare, so it's

145
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 5: it's a lot of give back. But you know, to

146
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 5: involve Nip's family I thought was just really really dope.

147
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 5: Iyda and like I said, they they've just been super solid,

148
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 5: like you know what I mean, Like Sam super solid.

149
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 5: So when we asked him, sat down with them and

150
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 5: they was like, yeah, let's do it, and he just

151
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 5: thought it was a great way to honor the legacy

152
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 5: of Nipsey Hussule. So that's something that we're definitely looking for.

153
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 6: And the law and piece was so dope because obviously

154
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 6: we know the relationship with Marathon, but she was like no,

155
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 6: I have initiatives that I really like. So women's health

156
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 6: is like at the forefront of her everything that she

157
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:30,599

175
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 6: these things don't happen in our community, right and so

176
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 6: once we see this absence, we can fill the gap.

177
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 1: And that's what this is all about.

178
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 2: There's so many people that you guys have in Atlanta.

179
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 2: Had any politicians have reached out to y'all because it

180
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: would be the perfect place for like Kamala Harris to

181
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 2: come speak.

182
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: Right, I'm glad you said that. I'm glad said that.

183
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 4: Because she's so into entrepreneurship and small business.

184
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 5: Like you said, we we got to clipped this up,

185
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 5: We got.

186
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 1: To clip this out.

187
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 6: But yeah, we've been we've been speaking to her team

188
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 6: last year. So the idea was to get it there

189
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 6: last year, and just the time and the way everything

190
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 6: worked out and we weren't able to do it. And

191
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 6: so we've just been in contact with her and we've

192
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 6: been you know, hinting at it. We understand the importance

193
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 6: of the election, We understand the importance of Atlanta, Fulton County,

194
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 6: Georgia as a state overall what it means to the election,

195
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 6: and so we were able to you know, she invited

196
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 6: us over a few times. Shout out to the black

197
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 6: men that sat down with us at the dinner, and

198
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 6: then we sat down on her economic tour. You know,

199
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 6: that was something that was really important to her to

200
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 6: have black men talking about economics, and she wanted to

201
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 6: kick it off with us in Atlanta. Yeah, we did yeah,

202
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 6: we did in April, so that was dope. And so

203
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 6: you know, at the time, it was like, Okay, all

204
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 6: roads are pull into Atlanta, this is great. It's so

205
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 6: far out that we can't put it on the calendar

206
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 6: just because that's just the way politics works in a sense.

207
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 6: And she said to hit us back in the first

208
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 6: week of July, and we did, and then the third

209
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 6: weekuld Lie, everything kind of changed, right because she's a

210
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 6: little she's.

211
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: A little busy, so she's a little busy. But you know,

212
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: stay tuned.

213
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 5: I think. But like you said, I mean, I feel like,

214
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 5: to me, it would be a no brainer for Heart

215
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 5: to come if she's available, because tens of thousands of

216
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 5: people and having a serious conversation about economics and addressing

217
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 5: issues like what's a black job and access to capitol

218
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 5: these are real serious conversations I think we need to have.

219
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 5: So yeah, we still we still.

220
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, stay tuned. I saw she had the rally in Atlanta,

221
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: so that's what.

222
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 6: I'm saying, This is gonna be a different conversation.

223
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 7: I was I've bember rocking with the VP for a minute,

224
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 7: and one of the things that I've always been attracted

225
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 7: to her about is you know, her stance on economics,

226
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 7: what she wants to do for small businesses. So when

227
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 7: y'all y'all kicked off the nationwide economic told with her,

228
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,439
Speaker 7: y'all sat with her. What about her economic plan? Do

229
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 7: y'all like, I'm not trying to make get an endorsement

230
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 7: and nothing. I'm just like, I'm an issues person. Yeah,

231
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 7: so I support her for this issue.

232
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 5: Well one thing as far as like just the openness

233
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 5: to be willing to listen. Like we sat down with

234
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 5: her a few times, and I respect the fact that

235
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 5: she's not coming in saying I know everything, Like you

236
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying. She's like, YO, tell me, like

237
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 5: what do I need? Like, first, the conversation is what

238
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 5: is the disconnect between black men and the administration? That's

239
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 5: before that's when she was a vice president. You know

240
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 5: a lot of black men unhappy with Biden. A lot

241
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 5: of black men are still even unhappy with her. So

242
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 5: she wanted to know what was causing that unhappiness, right,

243
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 5: And I thought that that was big of her to

244
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 5: like not talk to us, to listen to us. Same

245
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 5: thing with economics, you know, we spoke to them, and

246
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 5: we spoke to a bunch of the Democrats on Capitol Hill,

247
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 5: and they were like, well, what do y'all need? And

248
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 5: we told them, like, you know, access to capital is

249
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 5: important right where there's seventy three billion dollars out there

250
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,319
Speaker 5: and we get less than one percent, Like, how we

251
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 5: going to really scale businesses if we don't have money

252
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 5: to start the business, right, Like, that's important. So we

253
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 5: was telling a few different things and she was willing

254
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 5: to listen, and I know that that's something that she

255
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 5: has championed as far as access to capital and something

256
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 5: that she said that she was definitely wanting to improve

257
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 5: the situation. We have to kind of see the details

258
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 5: of it, but she definitely spoke to us about access

259
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 5: to capital.

260
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: Bringing back the middle class, making sure everybody started.

261
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 6: Student loans was one of the big things that she

262
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 6: talked about. And obviously I'm a prosal ownership. I was

263
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 6: just going to get into that. So the home ownership

264
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 6: piece was huge. Right when we look at wealth inside

265
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 6: of our country, specifically for our community, we know that

266
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 6: only forty five percent of us own homes, but if

267
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 6: you look at anybody's wealth that's been created, it's comes

268
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 6: from home ownership. And so having incentives for new home buyers.

269
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 6: I was like, this is a piece that we need.

270
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 6: It's missing. So like answering those questions, the student loan questions,

271
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 6: it's like, all right, well, these are solutions, especially because

272
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 6: we suffer, right, Like we don't have the capital to

273
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 6: pay for the tuition, right so we go into that

274
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 6: and that debt cripples us for years and years and years.

275
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 6: So to know that's on the forefront of her mind,

276
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 6: to understand that she has a plan, Like she said,

277
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 6: she's listening, she's receptive to it. It was dope, man.

278
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 6: And she's invited us a couple of times. So it

279
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 6: tells us that she's aware of what's happening. She understands

280
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 6: that we have an audience that she needs to tap into,

281
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 6: and so.

282
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: We're very aware of it. But it's dope that we

283
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: have the heir of somebody at that.

284
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 5: Let me, I want to get your opinion. You saw

285
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 5: what Trump was at the National Black Journalists.

286
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, National Association with Black Journals.

287
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 5: You think it would be a good idea if we

288
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 5: have Trump and investors or don't do that?

289
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: Why not?

290
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 7: I mean, here's my thing, And I said this about

291
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 7: the National Association Associational Black journalists. Their journalists their job

292
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 7: is to be objective and biased. All they all they're

293
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 7: all they're there to do is bring the person in

294
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 7: front of the audience and ask the question, like, why

295
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 7: why do we as black people, because this is a

296
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,199
Speaker 7: black thing, right, why do we as black people beat

297
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 7: each other up about this kind of stuff?

298
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 3: About platforming? I speak.

299
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 7: This guy can be on CNN, MSNBC, ABC doing the

300
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 7: same thing and nobody says, why y'all platforming them? As

301
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 7: soon as earn your leision does it? Our breakfast club

302
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 7: does it? You're platforming it.

303
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 5: Why.

304
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 3: I don't understand that logic. I really don't exactly.

305
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 2: I take a step further, like, I mean, this is

306
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: a business festival, right, Love Trump, hate Trump, however you

307
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: feel about him. He came from Queens and he damned this.

308
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: They say.

309
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 2: He built New York City when a time when everybody

310
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 2: was running away. So to get in his mind, to

311
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: see what his mind frame was, how he did it,

312
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 2: what was his mind process, how he got the money

313
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: and how he did all that.

314
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 4: I don't see why not. I don't see why that

315
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 4: would be a problem.

316
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 6: You're talking about the future of the economy. So like

317
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 6: when we're talking about investing when we're doing market money,

318
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 6: it's it's important that if he's going to put tariffs

319
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 6: on China, they need to know like what does that mean? Right,

320
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 6: Like when he talks about tom what does that mean?

321
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 6: What does the foreign policy mean? Especially for American companies

322
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 6: when we're talking about investing, Like you would want to

323
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 6: hear those answers if this is going to be the

324
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 6: guy who's going to lead the nation of the next

325
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 6: four years. So I mean you got to look at

326
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 6: it from a half context on it, but half perspective

327
00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 6: as well.

328
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 4: So what business What businesses growing the quickest now?

329
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Right?

330
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 4: Because you know, coming from New York and.

331
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 2: Queens usually we only see basketball and rap right hip hop,

332
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 2: But there's so many businesses growing now. So what's the

333
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 2: number one business that more and more people are asking

334
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: you guys to talk more about because they're getting into

335
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 2: for sure.

336
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 5: Like this year we got five different panels. Shout to

337
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,839
Speaker 5: Van Jones. He put together a whole curriculum because you

338
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 5: know he just got one hundred.

339
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 8: Mill platform and Van Jones, but nah together everybody WoT ai.

340
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 5: So like that's the like this technology thing is really

341
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 5: changing the world. Then if you use it, you understand,

342
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 5: like it's damn near magic, right.

343
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 2: What's your thoughts on they Because you know kids, a

344
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: lot of kids and a lot of y'all came from education.

345
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,599
Speaker 2: Kids ain't studying the same way when they get this,

346
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 2: type it in there to AI and say type me

347
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: a ten page paper and it comes right in and

348
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: then all they gotta do is just kind of just

349
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 2: take words in.

350
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 6: If you're an educated then you have to be adaptive

351
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 6: to that, right, Like you got to be responsible with

352
00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 6: the education.

353
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: The way you used to teach is not going to

354
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 1: be the way of the future.

355
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 6: And so that's why we talk about education reform because

356
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 6: it's important, right, like the textbook days is over man,

357
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 6: so like the quicker than we understand that, the better

358
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 6: we'll be able to adapt and use these things tobout benefit.

359
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 5: But I feel like black people a lot of times

360
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 5: we have a lot of fear of things that we

361
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 5: don't understand. So you see things like yo AI is

362
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 5: going to take the jobs, and even Trump plays towards

363
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 5: that like they're going to take black jobs, right, And

364
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 5: we interview Don People's and he was kind of he

365
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 5: has a relationship with Trump, so he was kind of

366
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 5: speaking kind of friendly about him, but he said something

367
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 5: that was key, and he was like he didn't think

368
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 5: he's racist. He thinks he has an outdated view of us,

369
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 5: meaning like he still looks at black people as this

370
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 5: nineteen seventy, nineteen eighty, like know what I'm saying, Like,

371
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 5: these are your jobs, like because they don't look at

372
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 5: us as like leaders in industry, right they don't look

373
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 5: at us as like we can exactly like on that level,

374
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 5: and we don't look at ourselves that way either a

375
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 5: lot of times. So I think we can't be scared

376
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 5: of this technology because it's gonna come one way or another.

377
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 5: It's like a tsunami. Either you prepare for or you're

378
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 5: just gonna get washed away. So they say it's gonna

379
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 5: take over two hundred million jobs over the next ten

380
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 5: years globally, and some people say that's a low estimate,

381
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 5: but it's also going to create jobs, and it's going

382
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 5: to create a lot of wealth. To you look at

383
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 5: a company like in video. Nobody even heard it in

384
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 5: video five years ago the average everyday person. Now they're

385
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 5: the third second most valuable company in the world, right, Like,

386
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 5: over the course of eighteen months. So that's because of technology.

387
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 5: That's because of AI. So I feel like we use

388
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 5: AI all the time and it's only going to get bigger.

389
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 5: So for the kids, to answer your question, it's similar

390
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 5: to when a calculator came out. Right, Like before you

391
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 5: used to have to actually physically do long division, but

392
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 5: then once you realize that the calculator allows you to

393
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 5: do it much quicker, you still have to be educated

394
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 5: enough to know how to work the calculator. Like even

395
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 5: chat GBT, you have to be educated enough to ask

396
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 5: the right questions top it to know what okay, now

397
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 5: this is a little offy, Like you just can't just

398
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 5: have no brain at all and let it think for

399
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,800
Speaker 5: you because then it's not gonna work properly. So I

400
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 5: think that the only thing that we can do is

401
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 5: educate ourselves on AI because there is no way around it.

402
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 5: And like some of the stuff, like even we met

403
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 5: with what I am, he's going to be there, some

404
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 5: of the stuff that he told us.

405
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: Was different future years ahead of us.

406
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 3: He's one of my favorite people to talk to you.

407
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 6: I mean, he talked for like two straight hours and

408
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 6: we were just like, don't we can't even share some

409
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 6: of the stuff he was saying I even know.

410
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm like, how do you sleep knowing all this information?

411
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 4: He's twenty years ahead of us.

412
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 6: The interesting part about the Nvidio pieces that we spoke

413
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 6: to the exact stay right, and they're like, this is great,

414
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 6: Thank you guys for information. Because people are investing in

415
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 6: they are making money, but the employees have made a

416
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 6: lot of money too, right, So you got to think

417
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 6: about that. A lot of times when they give you

418
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 6: a salary they said, well, we'll put some in stock, right,

419
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 6: company shares?

420
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 7: What is it exactly? Because every time I see it

421
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 7: looked like like a herpes commercial.

422
00:16:45,560 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 9: Herpes medication, Like what idiot from herpes? It looks like.

423
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 3: Just sounds like a herpees cha.

424
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: Your perspective is out.

425
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 6: So Video is a semi conductor company, right, So we're

426
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 6: talking about chips that go inside pretty much all electronics.

427
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 6: So inside of your computer, inside of your phone, inside

428
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 6: of this microphone. They have the fastest GPUs, which your

429
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 6: graphic process in units is those are what makes AI

430
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 6: run efficiently, run faster. So they're at the leader that

431
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 6: they're at the forefront of it, but they're employ I

432
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 6: was going back to that their employees have made money

433
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 6: because of the stock is going up, and so now

434
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 6: you've had employees that are now multi millionaires and they're like,

435
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 6: all right, well we might just leave and do our

436
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 6: own things. So in videos like thank you guys for

437
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 6: the information. But what we really need is we need

438
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 6: people that look like us to now come and innovate. Right,

439
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 6: So they're like, Yo, how do we get to investor us?

440
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 6: How do we show up? Because we're looking for the talent,

441
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 6: we have to be the talent. If not, when we're

442
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 6: talking about prompting, who's creating that, who's doing the engineering right,

443
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 6: who's doing the language models, it's not going to be us.

444
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 6: So we have to be a part of that. So

445
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 6: that's why it's important to be educated, but also to

446
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 6: say this is something that you can do. Right, So

447
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 6: we see athletes, we see entertainers, but like, you could

448
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 6: work for the wealthiest company in the world. It's not

449
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 6: just Apple, it's not just microphones. Plenty of other companies

450
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 6: that you could have an impact on it.

451
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: That's why you think our schools need to change the curriculum,

452
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 2: Like I think HBCUs need to change the curriculum a

453
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,400
Speaker 2: lot of times because a lot of times they don't

454
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 2: offer the classes, and if they do, it's a very

455
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 2: intro class. And that's what I've been saying all the time.

456
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,119
Speaker 2: We need to, like you said, we need to take

457
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 2: a perspective and look what's happening in the world. And

458
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 2: there's no disrespect to a lot of those classes and

459
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 2: courses that they have, but the world is changing, and

460
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of times our colleges aren't.

461
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: The world has changed. It's over.

462
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 7: Y'all said something earlier that made me think about the chat,

463
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 7: GPT and stuff. You know, I've been playing with it

464
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 7: a lot. It's really not smarter than humans yet, Like

465
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 7: the information is still pretty basic. I'll be asking certain

466
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 7: questions perfect Like I have questions that I know the

467
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 7: answers to.

468
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: Are you using the free version?

469
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 3: No, I'm paying it. I'm paying. But it depends how

470
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 3: you use the show that I'm using. Make sure I'm.

471
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: Man is outdated. Yeah, you're good at the point.

472
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, well all right, you can use it like Google.

473
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 5: It's not like you're using it like Google, like like

474
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 5: you know how many square miles is the ocean? Right?

475
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 7: No asking questions like like I'm I'm prompting it, like

476
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 7: you said.

477
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 5: We well, how I use how I'll use it is

478
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 5: all right? So you guys put this show on YouTube, right,

479
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 5: and then in YouTube you have a description, right, so

480
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 5: somebody actually has to actually physically write the description. Right. Ear,

481
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 5: Your Lisia comes on talks about uh investments, talking about

482
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 5: like I used to actually have to do that for

483
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,959
Speaker 5: your Leadia, and you know it takes time, right, So

484
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 5: what I do now is that I'll just take key

485
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 5: points that we spoke about, right, and then I'll just

486
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 5: say we had a conversation at the breakfast club, write

487
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 5: a three paragraph description, put hashtags at the end, and

488
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 5: then it just I'll just feed it to them and

489
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 5: then within three seconds it'll write the whole thing. Right.

490
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 5: That's way more efficient for me because that saves me

491
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 5: probably half an hour as opposed to me writing then

492
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 5: I got a spell check what I wrote stuff like that.

493
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 5: So in that regards, it thinks much quicker than the

494
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,320
Speaker 5: human because I can't write something in three seconds.

495
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 6: I can't write, So it's able to interpret information on

496
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 6: one hundred thousand times faster than the human brain.

497
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,160
Speaker 7: But is it good, Like I'll give you like writing

498
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,199
Speaker 7: a script, right, Like there's certain times I put in

499
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 7: prompts with different scripts and I read it and it's like, well.

500
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 6: That's the first version of it, right, so then you

501
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 6: you after you go through it again, now you prompt

502
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 6: it again until you get to the final version that

503
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 6: you want. The fact that it can create it whereas

504
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 6: like you might have if a writer has writer's block,

505
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 6: it can create for you, right, if he has the

506
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 6: writers it's going to create for you. And so it

507
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 6: moves and it becomes more efficient as you use it,

508
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 6: So it starts to learn you.

509
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: It starts to learn your patterns.

510
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 6: It was it was saying like, if you let it,

511
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 6: if you prompt it over three months, it has a

512
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 6: high school level education. Right after six months, it has

513
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 6: like a college level education. I think now I think

514
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 6: chat ebt is now at it passed the bar. So

515
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 6: it's learning, right, and only thing that's going to do.

516
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 6: That's all it does is learned. And all it does

517
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 6: is get better every single day.

518
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: Right.

519
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 6: That's why people like it's gonna lose jobs because number one,

520
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 6: it's going to be more efficient. It never stops working.

521
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 6: It doesn't need health insurance, right, and it's going to

522
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 6: give you results that are going to help you with

523
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 6: creativity and the process. So you're going to eliminate people

524
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 6: from that process, but there are going to be jobs

525
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 6: that are created inside of it as well.

526
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 2: You could do a fly it can do an investment

527
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:29,239
Speaker 2: flyer meeting, and it does. But like you said that,

528
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 2: that takes jobs away from a lot of people because

529
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 2: now you don't have to go to a graphic designer.

530
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: You go in and be like, you know what, I

531
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 2: don't like this picture. Put this picture in redes it

532
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 2: right away, and it's it's you know, it's.

533
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 6: Dope in radio too. Like a lot of times, the

534
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 6: same as you'll know how this works is like yo,

535
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 6: create the ad. A lot of times I'll just say

536
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 6: all right, well create this ad.

537
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: Poom, it's done. It's efficient. Where sometimes I remember when

538
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: we was first getting these ads, I'm like, I.

539
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 6: Gotta think of the story. How we're going to write this.

540
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 6: I sent submitted to the company and they're like, oh,

541
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 6: can we do it over? Can you add this? You know,

542
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 6: say this. I'm like, all right now. I was like

543
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 6: twenty seconds, I'm done. It's more efficient.

544
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 7: What I'm intrigued about is the next level of social

545
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 7: media that's going to incorporate AI, Like how we got

546
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 7: the twitters and the instagrams now and we're we're on

547
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 7: these things.

548
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 3: But what happens when you're actually in these things? You know?

549
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 7: And like there's a company called me Kai that I

550
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 7: think is is gonna be at the forefront forefront of

551
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:21,360
Speaker 7: that because.

552
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 3: They could literally take this, They could take this room.

553
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 7: You can use your phone and turn this room, the

554
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 7: breakfast club studio into a digital into a digital space

555
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 7: that you're now in, so you're not just watching to earn.

556
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: Your legion interview. You're like right here, like and from

557
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 3: my purview, sitting right now.

558
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:38,439
Speaker 5: That's the sports thing I think.

559
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 3: They're doing that. They're doing that with them the biggest thing.

560
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 5: Like if I could pay one hundred dollars and I'm

561
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 5: court side and I can watch Lebron or boxing, basketball boxing.

562
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: Like entertainment, that's gonna be still you know.

563
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:50,959
Speaker 5: What I'm saying, because how many people can actually afford

564
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 5: to sit court ringside when Tank is fighting. But if

565
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 5: I if I could pay a hundred dollars, I'll put

566
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 5: the glasses on and now I can actually feel like

567
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 5: I feel like I'm actually in the fight. I feel

568
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 5: like that's going to make sports way more enjoyable.

569
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: The reality here, right if y'all use the Vision Pro.

570
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 6: So if you go to go in the Vision Pro

571
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 6: and entertainment else telling the guys like Alicia Keys has

572
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 6: this interactive studio session. I mean, it's ridiculous. You're in

573
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 6: the studio with it and as you're looking around, everybody's

574
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 6: looking like it's live. So imagine when you're sitting courtside,

575
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 6: Imagine when your ringside. Imagine when you can't afford to

576
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 6: go to see Beyonce but you can sit at the concert.

577
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 6: Imagine how much more revenue that is because she can

578
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 6: only sell a certain amount of season and arena, I

579
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 6: don't care if it's if it's Wembley, it's ninety thousand.

580
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 6: She could do a million of those, right, So, like

581
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 6: think about the revenue that now gets generated from that aspect.

582
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 6: So it's the thing. It's here, like we're talking about like,

583
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 6: it's no, it's already here and we got to realize

584
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 6: it and take advantage of it.

585
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 1: So who's the company that creates that.

586
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 7: Telling you go look at me Ka that company doing

587
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 7: it now, they're doing it with the NBA, they doing

588
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 7: it with Wall Street Journal, like they're already doing it

589
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 7: at the next level of what we're all doing. Imagine

590
00:23:57,960 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 7: when you can sit in on earn, you lead you

591
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 7: conversations like you just said, I don't have to be

592
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 7: at in Best Fest, but I can be at invest Fest.

593
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 6: Right, it's here, and the next piece is going to

594
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 6: be that everybody's gonna have their own individual AI. So like, yeah,

595
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 6: y'all remember the movie Her when yeah, yeah, when he

596
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 6: sat in there, I think it's Jaquing Phoenix. He's sitting

597
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 6: in the room and the AI is in his house

598
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 6: and he starts to have developed feelings for this AI

599
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 6: and the relationship, but when he leaves the house, he

600
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 6: can't really have the same So he comes home it's

601
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 6: almost like his wife in a sense, but it's AI.

602
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 6: But imagine what that's what you all the time, and

603
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 6: it's learning all your your prompts.

604
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: He knows your schedule is.

605
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 3: Don't encourage that.

606
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you. That's what's that I'm not.

607
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 6: Telling you out here with So we was Indvos, right,

608
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 6: We thought the same way until we saw somebody who

609
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 6: created this company called Soul And it's a virtual relationship,

610
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 6: right because campaign so now as people are on social

611
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 6: media more right, they're not going outside, they're not meeting people.

612
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 6: Some people are introverts. They're creating AI to have companionship.

613
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 6: It's happening right now in.

614
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 4: The making picks and all that.

615
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. You got to prompt it.

616
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: I don't want you to try both. I don't need

617
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if I need to try it. But

618
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you what's happening.

619
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 3: Try both.

620
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 7: If somebody told me all he ever got was AI,

621
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 7: I'm like, all right, come on, bro, like go outside,

622
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 7: please try.

623
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 4: But that's what live would be like. You think about

624
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 4: it like this.

625
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: Instead of going live on Instagram and one of those things,

626
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: you go live right here and somebody could say, well

627
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: I got a question, and they can type.

628
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 3: In the question.

629
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 4: They could be in the movie.

630
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 3: Absolutely, that's amazing.

631
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: That's dope.

632
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 7: You know, we talked about this with sad uh offline

633
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 7: about the Black Online Different Disinformation.

634
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 3: Study that they did.

635
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: They put us in there.

636
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 7: We were together and you made me think about when

637
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 7: you broughtup the Trump question, how did you How did

638
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 7: you feel about that?

639
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 5: I thought it was I spoke to them and shot

640
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 5: to her. You know, we kind of cleared up a

641
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 5: few things she said that I thought it was irresponsible

642
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 5: because once again only black people get criticized for having others.

643
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 5: It's like, if you don't think this way, you're working

644
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 5: for rush. It's like Wall Street journal can speak to

645
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 5: whoever they want, they can go wherever they want. Nobody cares.

646
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 5: Right once we start to go anywhere outside of what

647
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 5: they think we should be, which is an extremely liberal platform.

648
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,199
Speaker 5: Right now, oh man, you're off the rail. So to

649
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 5: say like we are responsible for spreading misinformation, I just

650
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 5: don't even understand that, right because it's like for us,

651
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 5: we only really we've only had Democrats on I would

652
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 5: speak to a Republican, but they've never reached out to us.

653
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 5: But you know, I just feel like that was something

654
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 5: that shows that certain demographics of people don't really respect

655
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 5: black journalism. They say they do what, they don't really

656
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 5: respect black journalism, Like they look they don't look at

657
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 5: us the same way that they look at white counterparts.

658
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 7: I don't know black journalism respects black journalism. It's true,

659
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,879
Speaker 7: that's fact. Wonder especially after what we just saw. It's

660
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,679
Speaker 7: like when I saw people stepping down because Trump was

661
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 7: coming to the you know, and ABJ. I'm like, why

662
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,439
Speaker 7: you're a journalist, like he come there and you press them.

663
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 6: It's personal, right, Like people put that, they take it personal.

664
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 6: They forget like the entegrity of what you're supposed to

665
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 6: be doing. Like you said, our job is to ask questions.

666
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 6: Your job is to answer the questions, right. The people's

667
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 6: job is to say, all right, interpret those answers. Is

668
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 6: this a person that I think I want to vote for?

669
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 6: That's that's the job, right. So to see the criticism,

670
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 6: to see the backline, especially from our community, it's pretty wild.

671
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 4: People are scared though.

672
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,320
Speaker 2: People are scared to say what their thoughts are because

673
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 2: this society is so quick to cancel somebody, which is

674
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 2: and you cancel somebody for an opinion, you know what

675
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: I mean? And we always say, you know, vote your interest.

676
00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 2: But if you want to vote Trump because Trump is

677
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 2: doing something in your interest, you should be able to

678
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: do it without being canceled. Of course, we could have

679
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 2: a conversation, we could agree to disagree, but to the

680
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 2: point where people are trying to cancel and saying I'm

681
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 2: not working with you no more. I'm stepping down because

682
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 2: the craziest thing I liked.

683
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 7: What Rachel Scott did. Rachel Scott was the young lady.

684
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 7: She pressed the one on stage that was holding his

685
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 7: feet to the fire. I like that you're supposed to do.

686
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 5: The general thing. I didn't understand it that they did

687
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 5: this on purposele Why was there only Why was there

688
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 5: three women?

689
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 3: No men? I didn't understand that.

690
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 5: I didn't understand that. I feel like there should have

691
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 5: been some some masculine energy to kind of I don't know.

692
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 6: That would have been perfectly probably. I mean, the campaign

693
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 6: is probably like there's certain people that are not gonna

694
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 6: do this with and that's probably what was the situation

695
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 6: where it was like, he's not gonna.

696
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,960
Speaker 5: But it's a gift in the curse too, because it's

697
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,239
Speaker 5: like for your platform, for our platform. They look at

698
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 5: it like they have a personal relationship with us, right

699
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 5: because they've gotten to know us personally. So that's helpful

700
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 5: on a certain level, but it's also harmful because they

701
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 5: get disappointed or they have expectations or they where they

702
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,959
Speaker 5: don't look at Fox or CNBC or they don't look

703
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 5: at that as personal. They know that's just news. They

704
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,960
Speaker 5: just know that's just news, right, So there's no disappointment

705
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 5: if somebody if they do something that they don't agree with.

706
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 5: But all of Black I've noticed this, the Black outlet

707
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 5: are all like personal brands almost Like let me say,

708
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 5: it's like they don't look at it like a media company,

709
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 5: look at it like a one on one like you,

710
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 5: my homie and I don't agree with something. Now I'm

711
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 5: gonna talk crazy in your comments. You sold out because

712
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 5: one day we are puppet for the Democrats and the

713
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 5: next day we help manage it for like making you

714
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 5: up on the time.

715
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 6: I mean, I literally have watched every interview that you've done,

716
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 6: and I'm like, do they think he's gonna say something different?

717
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: Like he's been saying the same thing.

718
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 5: You're a political hot rod though I noticed like you personally,

719
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 5: like you cause a lot of friction and puption, like

720
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 5: you've become like a political person.

721
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 7: But it's good though, Like everything I was saying about

722
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 7: Biden last year was absolutely true.

723
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 3: I didn't think he could win in November.

724
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I thought it was a fair question to ask

725
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 7: if the Biden has ticket is something that you can

726
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 7: win in November, and if the if the threat the

727
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 7: democracy is so great like we see it is, why

728
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 7: are you running somebody that can't win. And now you

729
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 7: see what happened. He stepped down. Now they got energy again.

730
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: Big energy.

731
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 5: But you know, showed me how how quick public is.

732
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 5: They're so fickle. Because even when we met with Kamala

733
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 5: the first time, we couldn't. I didn't even post the

734
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 5: picture vice president Kamala, I didn't even president. I didn't

735
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 5: even post a picture on page because I just knew

736
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 5: it was gonna be so divisive, and because a lot

737
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 5: of people didn't like her. Remember, people were saying, like,

738
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 5: where has she been? I haven't heard from her? Like

739
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 5: it was just all native. Then now everybody loves her. Yeah,

740
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 5: it's just going to show you man like get her

741
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 5: is so fickle. And then like media can, media is

742
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 5: real powerful. Like the media really started to champion her

743
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 5: and they picked up momentum, and then in two weeks,

744
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 5: her whole thing just shifted one eighty from people saying,

745
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 5: you know, where has she been, she's been, she's hidden,

746
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 5: she hasn't said anything to now like people like she's

747
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 5: gonna be the next president. I'm just like I always

748
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 5: we had a good relationship with her, so I knew

749
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 5: that she was, you know, always capable. But it's just

750
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 5: interesting to see how quickly public perception.

751
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I'm excited about that.

752
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 7: I'm excited about the fact the last two weeks and

753
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 7: even when she started doing the economic form, I feel

754
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 7: like I'm starting to see the Vice President Kamala Harris

755
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 7: we see off camera on camp.

756
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: And I think that's the biggest thing.

757
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 6: Like we've been in the room, and so when people

758
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 6: are talking like now we know it, Like she's a

759
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 6: really good person, like when you talk to it. So

760
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 6: to see this happened now is like, oh, it's due time.

761
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 5: Now.

762
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 1: The interesting part is like she can, can she do it?

763
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: And who is she going to do it with? So

764
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: like the next thing is like who's going to be

765
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: at her VP camp?

766
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,240
Speaker 3: Governor Shapiro, You.

767
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 6: Do like Pennsylvania. Yes, That's why I predicted, just for

768
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 6: the momentum.

769
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: And the youth and the importance of that swing state.

770
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 3: We've had him up here. He's a good dude. I

771
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 3: like some of this.

772
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 7: I liked a lot of the stuff he was doing

773
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 7: in Pennsylvania before he was even in the VP conversation.

774
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 3: That's why we had him up here.

775
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, the prison reform, the probation reform, he did with me.

776
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 7: What is it called the Clean Slate Act? I think

777
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 7: it's called like he's doing a lot of those stuff

778
00:31:58,880 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 7: from PA.

779
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: That's your prediction, I hope.

780
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 3: I think so.

781
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 7: I had the same one, and you know, you said

782
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 7: something else to or shot that made me think about it.

783
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 7: I think what got people excited about the VP is

784
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 7: the fact that they know she probably can win because

785
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 7: I think people are starting to be aware of Trump more,

786
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 7: meaning like they're paying attention to what's happening with the

787
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 7: Supreme Court. They've read Project twenty twenty five, Like it's

788
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 7: not just the rhetoric they're getting from the cable news channel,

789
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 7: They've actually done.

790
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 3: Some due diligence and seen it.

791
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 7: They've seen the presidential immunity for a president president away

792
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,320
Speaker 7: with crimes, Supreme.

793
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 3: Court judges and elected phutials could take bribes.

794
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 7: Now, Like, if that don't wake you up to what's

795
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 7: going on and how much of you know democracy?

796
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 3: Is that threat? You gotta you bugging?

797
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

798
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 6: I sent some of the child's Well, I've seen wakaaka

799
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,239
Speaker 6: post yesterday and it was like all the things that

800
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 6: he wanted to support was everything that that the Trump

801
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 6: was against, and so he was it was like the

802
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 6: education process. It was like I saw people in the

803
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 6: comments like trying to educate him on the process. He

804
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 6: was like, yeah, I can vote what I want want

805
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 6: to vote for, which is all good, but understand, like

806
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 6: the education of like your reasoning and deductive reasoning.

807
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: Does it does it align with what you're doing?

808
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 6: So I think that education process is the port where

809
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 6: you're getting it from is important too. So I'll be

810
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 6: telling people like, look, you know, don't just watch MSNBC.

811
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 6: Don't just watch fives right, like, actually do some research,

812
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 6: get like a cumulative assessment of the candidates that you're

813
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 6: trying to choose the issues and then make it educated decision.

814
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 5: It's important for our platforms to remain neutral. And that's

815
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 5: why I try to tell people too. It's like we

816
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 5: met with the Democrats and went to the Capitol Hill

817
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 5: and all that, but we're not representatives of the Democratic Party, right,

818
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 5: so we have to remain neutral because if not, then

819
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 5: we lose credibility and it doesn't even mean anything as

820
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 5: far as the journalism and now they can just kind

821
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 5: of use us for whatever they want to do. So

822
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 5: we always remain neutral and try to just stay in

823
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 5: the middle.

824
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 3: And some hold them accountable, always support them.

825
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 5: You got you gotta hold people accountable, and you got

826
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 5: to have converse with every single person, right, because it's

827
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 5: like once you start to alienate the whole entire side,

828
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 5: now you essentially just kind of cut off half of

829
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 5: the situation, right, and that's not really beneficial. So I

830
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 5: feel like that the Republicans have done themselves or tremendious

831
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 5: disservice because they don't really try. Like for us, they

832
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 5: we've never got no Republican has ever really reached out

833
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 5: to us ever.

834
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,799
Speaker 7: Now we started getting that this year. Yeah, this year

835
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 7: we got a lot of them. We had Ni up here,

836
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,840
Speaker 7: we had a Vi Grammar Swami up here.

837
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 5: But your platform is y'all very very mainstream, right. We

838
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 5: are still like more on underground, right, but you should

839
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 5: be aware enough to know that we have a following.

840
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 5: So it's like, you guys, if they don't reach out

841
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 5: to you guys, then they just are completely incompetent. But

842
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 5: it's like for us, it's like if you're not if

843
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 5: we're not on your radar, then that lets me know

844
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 5: that you're not really trying. You're not even looking to

845
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 5: have to see what's under the surface what's bubbling with

846
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 5: you know, culture is really gravitating towards So I feel

847
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 5: like they're doing themselves at their service because if they did,

848
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 5: we would we would answer it because their conversations are important.

849
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 5: But if not, then we're not. We're not going to

850
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 5: go out of our way to try to cater to

851
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 5: them as well.

852
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: And we got hold them accountable.

853
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 6: And from a businessing point too, when we had conversations

854
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 6: about media black media specifically in platforms, and about the

855
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,359
Speaker 6: ad money that goes into campaigns, well, how much does

856
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 6: it go to us?

857
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 1: Right?

858
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 6: Like, if you're going to put ads on the show,

859
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 6: you're going to put at like we're talking about I

860
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,839
Speaker 6: know that they just released that there was a one

861
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 6: point five million dollars initiative to give to black media,

862
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 6: but I'm like, you're talking about it almost one hundred

863
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 6: and fifty million dollars budget.

864
00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:34,600
Speaker 1: Right.

865
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 6: You need that vote, right, You cannot win a reflection

866
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 6: without this vote. So to put that percentage a little

867
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 6: bit of allocation to a platform or an audience that

868
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 6: you need, it's almost a disservice.

869
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: So we gotta hold the accountable flat too.

870
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 7: Well, what's been the success stories from investments over the

871
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 7: last four year.

872
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 5: Oh man, so many man. I feel like, well, first

873
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 5: I'll speak to our success story because that's something that

874
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 5: we can relate. So we last year, it was a

875
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 5: gentleman that came from Ghana to invest Fest and he

876
00:36:04,200 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 5: had just heard about it, and long story short, he

877
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 5: came there. He came to invest Fest and he was

878
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 5: very impressed by invest Fest, so he wanted to connect

879
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 5: with us. So Chaco Bar has actually connected us. We

880
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 5: went to Ghana, they hosted us. Turns out, so you

881
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 5: heard the Afro Future. He's one of the people that

882
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:22,799
Speaker 5: that those Afro Future Polo Beach Club. If you ever

883
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,759
Speaker 5: been to Ghana, they own Post, they owned Polo Beach Club,

884
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:27,600
Speaker 5: they own they own a bunch of real estate everything.

885
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,439
Speaker 5: So they connected with us. They're like, yo, we got

886
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 5: three hundred acres of land and we want to build

887
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 5: on it. And they're like, well, what's the play and

888
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 5: they're like, well, I want to. It's crazy because we

889
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 5: already had this idea of bringing people from the diaspora over,

890
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 5: but not just to party and leave right like actually

891
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 5: more sustainable, like by real estate, building community. So we're

892
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 5: actually working on building the community with the brothers from Ghana.

893
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 5: That's all because of investmentest right, But this vendors, we

894
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 5: interviewed a venda that made three hundred thousand dollar and

895
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 5: been the marketplace selling services. We interviewed another vendor who

896
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 5: is a husband and wife combination and they met to

897
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 5: Bet who was Steve Harvey's partner, and then from there

898
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,280
Speaker 5: they developed a relationship and they took their business from

899
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,279
Speaker 5: making like ten thousand dollars to now they've made over

900
00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 5: three million dollars just in the vendor marketplace. And the

901
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 5: people that have want to invest, fest and learn, and

902
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 5: they actually purchased a home from the information that they

903
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:30,799
Speaker 5: that they received. So the networking is just unbelievable. And

904
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 5: then the information, when you add the networking with the

905
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 5: information is definitely an opportunity to change your life.

906
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, we were with our brother Ray Daniel's and it

907
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 6: was like, look when I walked into that marketplace. I've

908
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 6: never been to Black Wall Street, but I would imagine this.

909
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 6: This is what it looked like when you have just

910
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 6: all these over four hundred businesses, people networking, people created ideas,

911
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 6: excuse me, and actually finding networking pieces. Right, it might

912
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,240
Speaker 6: be your investor or it might be your next business partner,

913
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 6: or you might look and say, man, I want my business,

914
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 6: excuse me to scale like that. And so now people

915
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 6: are getting ideas how to grow their business. And then obviously,

916
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 6: you know, we come through the marketplace, but we're not

917
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 6: just walking by ourselves. We're bringing We're bringing Tyler Perry too, right,

918
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:12,880
Speaker 6: We're bringing Ropert Smith through. So like just to have

919
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 6: the opportunity to see that in real person and like

920
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 6: have a moment with that, it's incredible because they're looking

921
00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 6: at it as.

922
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: A way to invest as well.

923
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 6: I know Steve Harvey walks through and he's like, all right,

924
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 6: I want every piece of art that this person has.

925
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 6: Like there's opportunities in there that just don't exist. So

926
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 6: imagine you just started your business. So you're in, you're

927
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:31,439
Speaker 6: one or two of your business, and you might see

928
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 6: ten thousand customers throughout the year. You're talking about fifty

929
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 6: thousand people in three days. It just doesn't happen. It's

930
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 6: a very unique opportunity.

931
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 3: Did he ever give you all a million? Or he

932
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 3: just did the big check thing?

933
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 5: Good question, You want to know the whole story behind that.

934
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 5: Of course, so did he? So he all right, So

935
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 5: this is before invest Fest last year. Obviously, before everything happened,

936
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 5: we was working with Revolt and they're like, yo, did

937
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:58,479
Speaker 5: he want to give you guys a million dollars to invest?

938
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 5: At first? It was supposed to be a million dollar

939
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 5: for us to invest for him, right, And we're like, nah,

940
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 5: let's let's do something a little bit more creative, right,

941
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 5: Like let's get the get the million dollars, but let's

942
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 5: like showed it in like real time, be transparent, and

943
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 5: then like break it up. So we'll put like one

944
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 5: hundred thousand the stock market. Then we'll go to like

945
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 5: Louisiana and we'll buy a multi family home. Then we'll

946
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 5: give it to like an entrepreneur in Texas to start

947
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,479
Speaker 5: a gas station. So we was gonna actually like show

948
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 5: what we were doing with the million, Like the millions

949
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 5: has grown to two million has grown to and he

950
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 5: didn't even want any money. He was going to any

951
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 5: of the profits. We was gonna split the profit and

952
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 5: he was gonna give his his part to charity and

953
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 5: then he's gonna give us the other half. So we

954
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 5: had been talking about this for months. So when we

955
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 5: was gonna make the announcement, we're like Yo, we should

956
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 5: make the announcement that invest Fest, like you're gonna come

957
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 5: like it, it would make sense to do it on invest Fest.

958
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 5: So they liked the idea. So yeah, they gave us

959
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 5: the check on stage, so if anybody has because it's

960
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 5: important to educate the audience, right Like, so when they

961
00:39:55,640 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 5: do like those big Kinkos checks, contrary to popular belief

962
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 5: on the internet, you can't take that check into Bank

963
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 5: of America and cash that check. I see you got

964
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 5: the money. Bro gave me the check. I'm like, that's

965
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 5: not signed, so all right, so that's like for show right.

966
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 5: Then after that then lawyers have to kind of work

967
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 5: out the final agreement or whatever, and then they wired

968
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 5: the money to you, right so that could take a

969
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 5: couple of weeks, but it took a couple of months.

970
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 5: We never got it. And I will say this, I

971
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 5: think that he had the intentions of giving it to us,

972
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 5: because he actually called after He's like, did I get

973
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 5: the money yet? But no, I ain't get it yet.

974
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 5: But his team and I can't even knock them. They

975
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 5: were doing their due diligence. They wanted to make sure

976
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,920
Speaker 5: it was right that the you know, the legal agreement

977
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,839
Speaker 5: and everything. So it was just taking a long time, right,

978
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 5: It took like from investments in August to like October.

979
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 5: It's still now. It wasn't ten months.

980
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,440
Speaker 1: It was like, so we started the conversations.

981
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got the check, the big check, so and

982
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 5: I told we still do and get it right. And

983
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,520
Speaker 5: then in November everything.

984
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 3: Happens and then and you knew it was over.

985
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 5: It was over. We didn't even bother so we never

986
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,000
Speaker 5: got the physical money. But also that's important to kind

987
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 5: of clay up too. It wasn't a donation to us.

988
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 5: It was he wasn't investing in earning your leisure. We

989
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 5: were going to invest the money for him and the

990
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 5: proceeds was going to go to charity. Right, So that's

991
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 5: another you know, people kind of create their own natives,

992
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 5: like yo, did he gave y'all a million dollars, so

993
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 5: y'all can't talk about him. He never gave us a

994
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 5: million dollars. And even if we did get the million,

995
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:32,799
Speaker 5: it was never we would never. It was never going

996
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 5: to our bank account. It was never going to earn

997
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 5: your leisia. It was going to be invested, right. But

998
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 5: but yeah, that that never actually ended up happening.

999
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 7: But that's not even something y'all would talk about. I mean,

1000
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 7: I see you know, y'all do the blackout.

1001
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 3: Now you and you and y'all talk about more socially

1002
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 3: culturally stuff.

1003
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1004
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 3: Financial, Why did y'all start doing that?

1005
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 5: Just dude, Yeah, because you know, it's like we want

1006
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 5: to just have some diversity, so earn your leisure. We

1007
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 5: interviewed entrepreneurs market Monday. We talk about stocks, but we

1008
00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:03,880
Speaker 5: we have like other views, right, and I just we

1009
00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 5: just wanted to kind of be a little bit more

1010
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:08,160
Speaker 5: like you know, free range to talk about whatever. We

1011
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 5: wanted to talk about what there's conspiracy theories, relationships, whatever.

1012
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 5: So that show, it's a nighttime show, comes when at

1013
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 5: ten o'clock, kind of like wanted to do like a

1014
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 5: you know how they have like late night shows. So

1015
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 5: that was like that was like our spin on like

1016
00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 5: a late night show. We bring different guests on, like

1017
00:42:22,760 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 5: poor minds. They wouldn't really necessarily fit in the ecosystem

1018
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 5: of early leisure, but that allows that's a place for

1019
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 5: them to fit, like so stuff like that.

1020
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 6: So it's a it's a blueprint that that you you

1021
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 6: have right here, right like you have Breatherst Club, but

1022
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,320
Speaker 6: you got brilliant. It's a different format and it's different

1023
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 6: views that you can express. So it's like the box.

1024
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 6: We always talk about box. Never let anybody put you

1025
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 6: in the.

1026
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,239
Speaker 3: Box, but they want they want to keep with.

1027
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:46,319
Speaker 6: So like even now when people watch it, they're like, yo,

1028
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,000
Speaker 6: what y'all turned into this?

1029
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 1: Like why are y'all not talking about investments? I'm like, yo,

1030
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:50,919
Speaker 1: you know, that's just.

1031
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 5: One part of our life investments every day.

1032
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: Day, dude?

1033
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 2: Do people get mad at y'all? Like, like if y'all

1034
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: give your opinion on the Kendrick and Drake like you know,

1035
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 2: I mean, like you'll stay stick to stocks. I mean,

1036
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 2: like y'all can't have an opinion, you know, I mean.

1037
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 5: What does this have to do with economic empowerment? Six years?

1038
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 5: Every day? Like we our life is more than just

1039
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 5: reading stock charts, Like we actually like a variety of

1040
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 5: different things, and we've been doing this way before we

1041
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 5: got into business. So it's like, I think it's important

1042
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 5: to have diversity and that makes it more relatable right

1043
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 5: where it's like just regular people. It's not like we're

1044
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 5: not and we never put ourselves out there. Is like

1045
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 5: the Holy Saints where it's like we can never have

1046
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 5: an opinion about a relationship, we can never have an

1047
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 5: opinion about sports, Like we're sound the Mountain that we

1048
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 5: can only talk to Robert Smith and only talk about

1049
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 5: private equity.

1050
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: Like exactly, that's the important part. We grew to that.

1051
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 6: But what we started at it was like, Yeah, everybody

1052
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 6: in this world we recognized because that's part of the culture.

1053
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 6: This is not just like hey, we just came up

1054
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:55,839
Speaker 6: in this world of finance and this is all we've

1055
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 6: ever studied in our entire lives. Like nah, I always

1056
00:43:57,719 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 6: say like we're the fifth with a sixth element of it,

1057
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 6: but this is hip hop.

1058
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,839
Speaker 5: Like we might this is the house on Wednesday, might

1059
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 5: be a diamond on Thursday. That's really our life. Like

1060
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 5: we move in between those two worlds and like we

1061
00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 5: do your show, we do CNBC. Like you know, I

1062
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 5: think that people like you said, they try to put

1063
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 5: you in a box, and I think that that's dangerous

1064
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 5: because nobody should be held to just what somebody else

1065
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 5: thinks of them, right, Like everybody should be able to

1066
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 5: do whatever they want to do.

1067
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:25,799
Speaker 3: And I'm not knocking nobody else.

1068
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 7: I just feel like black people we're the people who

1069
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 7: have the diversity to do that. You can be in

1070
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 7: all those different spaces. A lot of times when you

1071
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:36,720
Speaker 7: a white person, you got your world.

1072
00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: Your world is just certain.

1073
00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 5: You don't have you're not.

1074
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 7: Forced to learn about a little bit of everything that

1075
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 7: helps you to navigate all of these different spaces.

1076
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 3: We do it, and we do it effortlessly.

1077
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 6: We have a certain level of duality that nobody else

1078
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 6: can can to manifest, like we just have it and

1079
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,680
Speaker 6: it's just kind of a natural thing because we've had

1080
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 6: to adapt to it, like we love a multitude of

1081
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 6: things like that's just part of the nature of being

1082
00:44:59,080 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 6: black in America.
