Right, 34 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 3: So we look at card E B and she trademarked 35 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 3: her signature line you want to say. 36 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 5: The line I gotta say it, so she trademarke. 37 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,959 Speaker 3: She trademarked that. Then we had the Jordan logo, the 38 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 3: jump Man logo. That was an interesting situation where the 39 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 3: original photographer of that photo sued Nike because they pretty 40 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 3: much kind of copied his photo some people think they did, yeah, 41 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 3: and he lost the lawsuit on that, and then we 42 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 3: also have the Fortnite case right where Fortnite, if anybody 43 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 3: is not familiar, it's the most popular video game in 44 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 3: the world right now, and they do all these different 45 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 3: dances and the creators of these dances were never converensated 46 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 3: for it, so they sued Fortnite and it's actually still 47 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 3: in litigation, but it's pretty complicated. So it's one thing 48 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 3: to be a creative and to create, right it's another 49 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 3: thing to actually own what you create and to be 50 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 3: able to make money off of it. So we're going 51 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,080 Speaker 3: to talk about today is intellectual property, licensing, copyright, trademark, 52 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 3: all that stuff.

Yes, so we're gonna jump right into it. Troy Willing, So. 77 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 5: I mean, obviously you're gonna share your expertise, and a 78 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 5: lot of. 79 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 4: Us are novices in this field, so pretty much. 80 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 5: What is the difference between a pat a copyright, and 81 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 5: a trademark. 82 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 7: Let's start there, Okay, So patent, copyrights, and trademarks are 83 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 7: all intellectual property. 84 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,040 Speaker 6: And what intellectual property is. It's like something that you. 85 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 7: Create with your mind, right, It's like a creative expression, 86 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,919 Speaker 7: and those different areas are areas that you could create 87 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 7: you could protect your your creative expression, right. So a 88 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 7: patent is a protection that you get for an invention. 89 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,560 Speaker 7: So if you have something that's new, that's innovative, that's 90 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 7: going to change the way that people you know, live 91 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 7: and work technology, those things are patentable and they're very technical, right, 92 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 7: so you actually need to be a patent attorney to 93 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 7: practice patent law. But those things are going to patent 94 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 7: are going to protect inventions. Copyrights are going to protect 95 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 7: literary works. So certain things that you that you create, 96 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 7: but it has to be expressed so it can be 97 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 7: an idea. So intellectual property can't be an idea. You 98 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 7: can't protect an idea, so you have to like express it. 99 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 7: So if it's a writing a story, you got to 100 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 7: write it down. If it's a song, you have to 101 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 7: write the lyrics or you could record the music. If 102 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 7: it's art, you got to draw, you know, it has 103 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 7: to be drawn or whatever. It has to be expressed 104 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 7: so somebody. 105 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: Could that's that's for trademarks, that's for copy copyright, trademarks. 106 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 7: And trademark is basically it's gonna gonna bring somebody. 107 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 6: Back to the source of a good or service, right, 108 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 6: So it. 109 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 7: Represents your business, your brand, and it's gonna put the 110 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 7: public on notice to know like where to go for 111 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 7: that particular product or item. So there's two reasons. One, 112 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 7: you want to protect your your sort of like your work. Right, 113 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 7: So you create something, you have a business, you put 114 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 7: all the sweat equity into it, and you have like goodwill. 115 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 7: You know, as your brand grows, they expect a certain quality, 116 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 7: is a certain standard from your brand. So you want 117 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 7: that to be protected so you can make money off 118 00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 7: of it. And then the government, the Copyright Trademark Office, 119 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 7: they want to make sure that somebody gets hurt from 120 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 7: your product on your service, that they know who to 121 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 7: go to for that, right. 122 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 3: So like the Fortnite when they were trying to do 123 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 3: the dance moves, that's a copyright issue, right, yes, And 124 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: it's a copyright issue because I just want everybody to 125 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: understand because legal jargon can be a little confusing, yeah, right, 126 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 3: and even for like I'm in business and I'm kind 127 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 3: of confused by like copyrights and trademarks. So all right, 128 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 3: So well, the dance moves is a copyright because that's 129 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 3: something that it's like a physical thing that they made up, right. 130 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 7: So they like they created it and it's yeah, something 131 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 7: like physical that they did. 132 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 6: It's like a creative expression. 133 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 7: Like choreography, you know, dance moves, And there's going to 134 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 7: be an issue even with that when they go to 135 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 7: copyright those because from what I understand, all fonds of 136 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 7: very so he already got denied because they said it's 137 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 7: only three moves, like it's not enough to be choreography. 138 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 6: And I I think that's gonna that's gonna sort of. 139 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 7: Change the way the law is because like now everything 140 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 7: is media, everyone has a camera, everyone's like creating dances, 141 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 7: doing all this type of stuff that has to be 142 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 7: protected somehow. 143 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 5: So like when black Boy JB he does that move 144 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 5: and the kids just recreated that's not really choreography what 145 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 5: they're saying. 146 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, so that that that's going to be an it' 147 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 7: I think that's an issue that's up for discussion. 148 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 3: And then all right, so then so then so then 149 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 3: the trademark, like the Jordan logo, that's a trademark, right. 150 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 7: So in that case they sued for copyright because the 151 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 7: person who took it was a photographer, So photography, it's 152 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 7: it's a picture that's going to be something that's going 153 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 7: to be copyrightable, so they're suing for the photo that 154 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 7: that what was it that Nike did the comparable comparable photo, 155 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 7: but also comes into question because now they use that 156 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 7: as a logo. Right, But he lost because they said 157 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 7: it's really not substantially. 158 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's interesting. I think they said that the tracksuit, 159 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 3: it was the backdrop in the picture. The track suit 160 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 3: and the photos are slightly different. And it's interesting too 161 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: because people were saying, well, you can't take credit for 162 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 3: an image, but you actually can though, because I remember 163 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 3: when Cameron had the album. I don't know if you're 164 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 3: a Cameron fan, but we're Cameron fans. Yeah, an album 165 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 3: called SDE a while ago, and the logo was the 166 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 3: NBA logo, which is Jerry West, but instead of like 167 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 3: the basketball, it actually had like a firearm in his hands. 168 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 3: So the NBA wasn't too happy about that, so they 169 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 3: shut it down and he couldn't use it. So it's 170 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 3: just interesting to see that. You know, somebody can come 171 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 3: up with an idea, but if they don't actually do 172 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,360 Speaker 3: the right legal steps to somebody else can kind of 173 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 3: take the idea and now they own it. 174 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 6: Right, And that's what's been happening for years. 175 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 7: Like people who are ignorant to this type of protection 176 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 7: that it exists. They just create stuff and people who 177 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 7: know they take it. And you know, just like all 178 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 7: of the artists that came like you know in the eighties, nineties, sixties, 179 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 7: like they didn't know that they had an actual, you know, 180 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 7: asset that someone else is making money off. 181 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,719 Speaker 3: And that's what we want to really because especially in 182 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 3: our community, like we're very creative, we're creative people, but 183 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 3: we don't always understand the business side of things and 184 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 3: how to monetize it in the legal steps to take. 185 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 3: So like you said, I mean, we'll make it and 186 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 3: create it and then somebody else will take it and 187 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 3: now they actually own it, right. So if somebody wants 188 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 3: to actually go about setting it up right, like what's 189 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 3: the steps of legally copywriting something or trademarking or if 190 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,680 Speaker 3: they don't know the difference, should they do it via 191 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: a lawyer? Can they do it themselves online? What's your advice? 192 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 7: Okay, So, well, one, I have to give a disclaimer, 193 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 7: so for anybody who's listening, what I say is. 194 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:55,079 Speaker 6: For information only. I'm not your lawyer unless. 195 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 3: You've hired me. 196 00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 6: Let's have to say that. But so if they want to. 197 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:02,839 Speaker 7: So the thing is, you should always hire a lawyer 198 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 7: because just with anything, like if there's somebody who's an 199 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 7: expert in the field, you want to kind of rely 200 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 7: on that person's expertise for nuances and things like that. 201 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 6: But that being said, you can do it yourself. 202 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 7: Like for copyrights, you could go on copyright dot Gov 203 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 7: and you kind of they make it really easy for you. 204 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 7: So they kind of lay out what are you trying 205 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 7: to copyright? Is it you know, music, is it a 206 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 7: book or something? 207 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 4: Is it? 208 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 7: So they give you the options and then you select 209 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 7: and they kind of walk you through the application process 210 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 7: and you could kind of click on stuff that will 211 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 7: give you like explanations like if you're confused as to 212 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 7: what they're asking. 213 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 6: So that's that with copyright. 214 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 7: With trademark it's a little bit more technical. So again 215 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 7: I do think you should get a lawyer, but their 216 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 7: website has tons of videos on how to do it. 217 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 6: It gets overwhelming. 218 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 7: But if you feel like, you know, I want to 219 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 7: protect my stuff and I just don't have the money 220 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 7: to invest in an attorney, they have videos that you 221 00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 7: could look at, and it's also sort of like you 222 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 7: could you could be walked through the process, but the 223 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 7: search is a little more tricky because it's just so 224 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 7: much to go through and their website is not really 225 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 7: set up to give you like comprehensive results, like you 226 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 7: could type in Starbucks with two s two s's at 227 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 7: the end, you know, two s's at the end, and 228 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 7: nothing will come up, you know what I mean. So, 229 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 7: but if you put it you know exactly how it's spelled. 230 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 7: Of course tons of stuff will come up, but you know, 231 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 7: so that's how you can see how it's not that, 232 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,679 Speaker 7: you know, it's not that easy for someone who is 233 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 7: just a lay person to do it, but it's possible, 234 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 7: you know what I mean. 235 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 5: Okay, speaking speaking of a trademarks, we actually behind the scenes, 236 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 5: we're talking about a trademark case that people may be 237 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 5: not familiar with, but it involves some like a high 238 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 5: profile person, Jay Z versus Iconics And for those who 239 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 5: don't know what who are Iconics brand is?

So 268 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 7: they don't want to have to go to court like 269 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 7: the normal avenue go to court and have a judge aside. 270 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 7: They just they rather go to like basically like a 271 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 7: boardroom and have someone who's an arbitrator sit and listen 272 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 7: to everybody who's like specializes in that area or whatever. 273 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 6: So the parties get to choose who that. 274 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 7: Arbitrator is going to be, right, they get a list, 275 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 7: they get to vet and agree on who that person 276 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 7: is going to be, or maybe a few people they'll choose. 277 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 7: And so what jay Z said is that, wait, there's 278 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 7: nobody of color on this list. There was like I 279 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 7: think there were like two people of a hundred, yeah, 280 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 7: something like that. And so he was like, no, I'm 281 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 7: not doing this.

Again, We've kept 290 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 3: our streak. I'm talking about everything. We've been consistent, mandatory. Yeah, yeah, 291 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 3: all right, Well one other thing before we go to 292 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 3: the next segment, can you just briefly talk about licensing 293 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 3: with that. 294 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 7: So when you own these different types of intellectual property, patent, copyright, trademarks, 295 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 7: the way that most people kind of really make money 296 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 7: from him is that they license them to other people 297 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 7: to use them. So as you build your brand, your 298 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 7: brand kind of has cloud, you know, like for instance, 299 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 7: who was it, Jeff Bezos just brought the Washington Washington Yeah, 300 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 7: so we know newspapers are dying, right, so you can 301 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 7: get news everywhere now, so but that name has a 302 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 7: certain amount of status. So like if something's in the 303 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 7: Washington Post, you believe it, right, So that's what people 304 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 7: you know, once their brand creates value or has a 305 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 7: value to it, you could license that to other people 306 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 7: because like say if they put out a story on 307 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 7: now on the Washington Post, say it was a license 308 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 7: and they licensed the name to him, he puts out 309 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 7: a story, people are gonna believe it. So that's why 310 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 7: people want a license established brands, And so you can 311 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 7: do it in terms of allowing them just to use 312 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 7: it for a certain purpose or in a certain area, 313 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 7: or to do you know, in connection with something specific, 314 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 7: So you could do it broad or narrow, and you 315 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 7: could get royalties from it, or you could just charge 316 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 7: your fee for it. 317 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 6: And that's going to be through like a contract. 318 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 3: Okay, all right, all right, well okay, so now you 319 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 3: have one oh one of intellectual property.

So the 338 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 3: Beatles right and seventies, mid seventies, nineteen seventy eight, Well, 339 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 3: I think before that they started a company called Apple Corp. Right. 340 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 3: Apple Corp. Was a holding company. It had a couple 341 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 3: different uh uses, but the main thing it was like 342 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 3: there in house record label. Right. They I don't know 343 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 3: why they decided to name Apple, but that was the 344 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 3: named Apple Corp. 345 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 6: That's interesting. 346 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 3: So in nineteen seventy seven, George Harrison you know what 347 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 3: George Harrison is the Beatles, of course, well nobody really 348 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 3: knows him. He's the Beatle that you never heard of, right, 349 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 3: most people never heard of him. So he hits ironic 350 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,359 Speaker 3: because nobody's heard of him, and he heard of a 351 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 3: company that nobody's heard of that's just started out in 352 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 3: nineteen seventy seven around that time, called Apple Inc. So 353 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 3: he says, okay, this is pretty interesting. Is a company 354 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 3: called Apple? Right, So he goes to Apple Corp. The 355 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,160 Speaker 3: Beatles company, and he tells them about a company called 356 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 3: Apple Inc. Right, So the Beatles' Apple Corp. Suits Apple Inc. 357 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 3: Because they're using the trademark name Apple. They already trademarked 358 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 3: the name Apple can't use it. So in nineteen eighty 359 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 3: one they settled a lawsuit for eighty thousand dollars. Right. 360 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 3: An interesting thing is that part of the settlement is 361 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 3: that Apple Corp. The Beatles Company, agreed to never go 362 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 3: into the computer business. Apple Inc. Steve Jobs Company agreed 363 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 3: to never go into the music business. 364 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 4: We're gonna to stay in your lane. Close in your 365 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 4: lane is all. 366 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 3: They could both use Apple, but they have to stay 367 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 3: in there in your lane. Okay. So it's going pretty 368 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 3: good for a couple of years, and then nineteen eighty 369 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:20,800 Speaker 3: six Apple comes out with musical instrument Digital Interface. Right, Yes, 370 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:21,920 Speaker 3: I was good. 371 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 4: I was good. 372 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 3: So that you want to talk about that? 373 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 5: Now I can briefly touch on it those or not 374 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 5: in So that's just a sound chip in the computer. 375 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 5: So this is before you gotta think with eighties now, 376 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 5: so like this is like computers. They're not even in color. 377 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 5: It's just like the green typing. So he's putting a 378 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 5: sound chip in the computer. They're looking at it like wait, 379 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 5: sound that could be music. 380 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 3: It could be music because the music it's about to 381 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 3: say something I was going to say. 382 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 7: I think it also allowed them to the computers to 383 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 7: communicate with music land. 384 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes, yes it did, so it allowed it. 385 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 3: It's kind of like the beginning stages of putting music 386 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 3: on a computer. So say, hey, you're not so fast. 387 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 3: You you promise, you promised not to do. Oh, you 388 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 3: got your problems. So now they suit them again, right, 389 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 3: nineteen eighty six, they suit them. So in nineteen ninety 390 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 3: one they settled for twenty six million dollars. Right, but 391 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 3: they did something that was very petty at the time, 392 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 3: So they the nineteen ninety one Macintosh alert. The name 393 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 3: is Sumo and it's pronounced so sue me. So it's 394 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 3: like a kind of like you know, and it predicts 395 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 3: what's going to happen in the future, right, like saying 396 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 3: like soon. 397 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 5: So that was part of the sampling of sound on 398 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 5: an operating system. So like they had a new operating system. 399 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 5: Now you can sample sound again that sounds like music. 400 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 5: We're gonna have to suit yeah. 401 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 3: No, So then this is where the big cakes comes in, right. 402 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,679 Speaker 3: Two thousand and three, the launch of Itol. So they 403 00:20:57,840 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 3: just said, okay, we're not even gonna play around anymore. 404 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 3: We're going in the music business right soon. Too much 405 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 3: money out here not to be get We're not going 406 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 3: to be stopped by the Beatles, right, so they go 407 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 3: into full fledged with iTunes. So of course Apple Corp. 408 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 3: The Beetle company, right. 409 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 4: But they suit them this time because of the logo. 410 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,159 Speaker 5: So like, their logo is an actual green apple, and 411 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 5: the iTunes logo was an Apple that had like a 412 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 5: little piece bitten out of it. 413 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 4: So it was like, wait, that looks like our. 414 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 3: Logo partially the logo but also the music is well 415 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 3: yeah yeah. So but that case lasted to two thousand 416 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,399 Speaker 3: and seven and Apple actually won that case, right, So 417 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 3: now Apple Inc. Owns the trademarks to Apple, right, but 418 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 3: they licensed out a certain you know, they licensed out 419 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 3: trademarks back to Apple Corp. Nobody really knows the terms 420 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 3: of the deal, but it's said that they settled for 421 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 3: five hundred million dollars. So Apple Ink paid Apple Corp. 422 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 3: Five hundred million dollars and they finally were done with 423 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 3: it after thirty years. And it's ironic because now the 424 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 3: Beatles when so when Steve Jobs, he used he was 425 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 3: a big Beatles fan, right, huge, and he was disappointed 426 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 3: that they couldn't get the Beatles on iTunes because of 427 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 3: this thirty year case. Right. So now when I think 428 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 3: it was his two thousand and seven speech. 429 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 5: It's Keno address in two thousand and seven. He intros 430 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 5: it by coming into the Beatles music. So the crowd 431 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 5: is like, oh wait, we're about to get Beatles music. 432 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 3: He has Paul McCartney. 433 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 5: February two thousand and seven. They settle and they released 434 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 5: Beatles Music, but as a solo artist. So Joege Harrison's 435 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 5: solo music. John Lennon Paul McCartney. I don't think Ringo 436 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 5: had it out. Did Ringle have al I don't know. 437 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 4: He might, I don't know. 438 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 5: So their solo catalogs were released, and then three years later, 439 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 5: in twenty and ten, I believe November twenty ten, the 440 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 5: Beatles catalog comes to iTunes, which is like a big 441 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,159 Speaker 5: moment because that catalog is ridiculous. 442 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 3: You know, Michael Jackson owned the Beatles logev. It's another conversation, 443 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 3: So why are we telling your story? Because it's interested 444 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 3: in a and also it is highlights the power of trademarks. Right, 445 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 3: So the Beatles made almost six hundred million dollars they 446 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 3: made between the three cases, they made five hundred and 447 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 3: twenty nine million, right, kind of by accident because they 448 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 3: just randomly picked the name Apple, I'm pretty sure, right, 449 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 3: And they didn't really have any intentions of Apple Corp. 450 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 3: To like be a multi billion dollar company. They was 451 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 3: like the in house thing, right. 452 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 4: I'm not sure what music came out on Apple Records. 453 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 3: I don't think any music came out. 454 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 7: I think they just ended up owning all the Beatles' music, 455 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 7: And like you said, they had other businesses underneath their 456 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 7: like tax shelter exactly. 457 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, So just from having the luck of the draw 458 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 3: and picking and picking a good name. But more importantly 459 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 3: than picking a good name, they trademarked the name, right, 460 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 3: because they could have picked the name and then trade, like, 461 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,479 Speaker 3: so how many businesses and companies and we're going back 462 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 3: to the fortite. We have good ideas, but that one 463 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 3: step changes the dynamic five hundred million dollars, right, So 464 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 3: people say a lot of times it's like, well it's 465 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 3: expensive to trademark, or I don't have the money. Well, 466 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 3: you either spend five hundred dollars to trademark or five 467 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 3: hundred million recorder could do that you could have gotten 468 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 3: if you did trademarket, right. 469 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 5: I think like that's what we saw fifty did that. 470 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 5: When he started to get the Strap campaign, it was like, wait, 471 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 5: this episode is brought to you by P and C Bank. 472 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 5: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring, 473 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 5: and sure they definitely can be, but understanding a professionals 474 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 5: routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little, 475 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 5: day after day. It's like banking with P and C Bank. 476 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,920 Speaker 5: It might seem boring to safe plan and make calculated 477 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 5: decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is 478 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 5: what helps you live or more happily fulfilled life.

He trademarks everything. 508 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 3: Remember when him and Jim. 509 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 4: Jones had to you know what that that that's a 510 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 4: sad story. 511 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 3: Well they made it, they rectified it. 512 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was over Burgag. 513 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 3: He trademark Bergen just in case, Yes, just in case. 514 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 3: So if anybody's a Diplomat fan, you know. 515 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 4: What, anybody's from the early two thousands, so it was 516 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 4: like something. 517 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 3: That they were just saying. It was like it wasn't 518 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 3: like an official thing because they would Dipset diplomat. Then 519 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 3: the burg game was like just something that they just 520 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 3: came up with. Right. But then Jim Jones actually had 521 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 3: a crew, like a offset of Dipset that he was 522 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 3: calling burg Gang, right. I think he had like bird 523 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 3: Gang records and oh he's going full Fletchers and Cameron 524 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,439 Speaker 3: without actually notifying him. 525 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 4: Catches windows. 526 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 3: It trademarks the name. So Jesus, he's no longer allowed 527 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 3: to use burg Gang unless he pays Cameron. 528 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 5: That's what friends are for, exactly when something of It's 529 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 5: also rumored that he trademarked jelly fan. 530 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 4: That's yeah, yeah, yeah recently recently. 531 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 3: I'm not sure if that's true or not. 532 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 4: Shout the jelly fan. He just actually transferred from Minnesota 533 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 4: when he's going I don't know yet. He just left. 534 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 4: He did two years at Minnesota and now he's. 535 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 3: Transferring Isaiah Washington. If anybody is not a basketball fan 536 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 3: New York City street ball legend, not even a street 537 00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 3: ball legend, no, not just a legend. Saint Raymond's basketball 538 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: basketball legend who he he he had a crew called Jellyfan, huge. 539 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 4: Trademark by his the move man that layup that opening 540 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:00,879 Speaker 4: finger rolled layup. 541 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, well people might not be basketball fans, but I 542 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 3: heard that Kim On because the interesting thing about that, 543 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 3: So the kid was in high school, right, and he 544 00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 3: created a huge buzz for himself in high school, like 545 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 3: all throughout the city. Then it went national. Now what 546 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 3: social media went all over the world where you got 547 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 3: kids saying jelly famine. It's like a finger roll and 548 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 3: it's like it just went viral. So then Nike started 549 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 3: printing up shirts with the jelly Fan right, and of 550 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 3: course he's not getting paid for he's in high school. 551 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 5: I think Nike might be a sponsor for Saint Raymonds, 552 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 5: so like they felt like we had a connection. 553 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 4: He plays with Saint Raymonds. 554 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, but he came up with the idea. So it's 555 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 3: all going back to Apple, right, whereas we can relate 556 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 3: this on small level, like that's a perfect example jelly fan. Right. 557 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 3: I don't know the rules if he could actually trademarket 558 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 3: not since he's in high school and his rules against 559 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 3: the basketball players. But long story short, Nike did that 560 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,600 Speaker 3: and they made money off of it, right, so if. 561 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 6: He didn't protect it, then he can't really do that 562 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 6: until police. 563 00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 3: Again, now it's too late. 564 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 7: Well if he can, if they didn't protect it, he 565 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 7: could still protect it and then they would still have 566 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 7: to pay him for using it if they're still continuing 567 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 7: to make money off of it. Right, But if you 568 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 7: don't protect it, then you have no way of really 569 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 7: so what what registration does. 570 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 6: It allows you to basically sue and be able to recover. 571 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 7: So like with the Fortnite case, how they had to 572 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 7: pull out of the case because they didn't copyright anything, 573 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 7: and so it's like, Okay, the government's like or the 574 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 7: federal court is like, well, if you didn't copyright it, 575 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 7: then you can't police against it, so you need to 576 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 7: go do that, and so they pulled out. But if 577 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,959 Speaker 7: they do, if they are successful with their copyright, then 578 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 7: they will be able. 579 00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,959 Speaker 5: To sue them for you see, like celebrities are doing 580 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,800 Speaker 5: that like when they have children. Now it's like the 581 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 5: person thing they do is I'm copyrighting that name, I think. 582 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 5: But they lost that because there was an event planning 583 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 5: company called Blue Ivy. 584 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 6: They're still fight it. 585 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 7: Though they're still fighting doesn't. There's an event planner. She 586 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 7: she has a company named Blue Ivy, and so you know, 587 00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 7: Beyonce's a beast. 588 00:29:58,080 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 5: With her. 589 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 7: She has she has her own company that just has 590 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 7: her trademarks and that's the best way to do it. 591 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, there you have it, the power of trademarks. 592 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 3: You have to understand the law of people is one thing. 593 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 3: To play the game is another thing. To play the 594 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 3: game smart and efficiently. You don't have to be the 595 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 3: smartest player to win, but you have to know who 596 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 3: to work with, who to contact, and you have to 597 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 3: know opportunities when you see it. And I'm sure these 598 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 3: guys that made these dances up before they never knew. 599 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 3: They just doing their neighbors, especially Culton things. I don't know, 600 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 3: that's shame on him, but the Millie Rocket, this is 601 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 3: they're just doing it in their community, like they're not 602 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 3: thinking this is going to go viral to the world. 603 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 3: But you never know you have so yeah, well we'll see. 604 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 4: All right. 605 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 5: So for our final segment, we're going to talk about 606 00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 5: something that we don't have to look too fartify it 607 00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 5: and that is a life insurance. We recently posted that 608 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 5: series had canceled ninety thousand life insurance policies for its employees, 609 00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,840 Speaker 5: and it begs the question like, should people be going 610 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 5: through their jobs to gain life insurance? Over the past 611 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:20,800 Speaker 5: I guess twenty to thirty years, America has kind of switched. 612 00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,840 Speaker 5: One hundred and eight million people have gone through the 613 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 5: group route, while one hundred and two million people have 614 00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 5: gone through the private method of life insurance, which is like. 615 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 4: The first time that that's happened in history. So we 616 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,560 Speaker 4: have our own expert and two thousand give me if 617 00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 4: I'm wrong with the. 618 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,800 Speaker 3: Year two thousand and six, I think two thousand and seven. 619 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,480 Speaker 5: Two thousand and seven, I sat down with a financial 620 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 5: planner who was starting in the business. He needed a client, 621 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 5: and he looked across and he said, Detroit, you gotta 622 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 5: get life insurance now. At twenty five, I'm thinking, come on, man, 623 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 5: why do I life insurance? And then we had a 624 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 5: deeper conversation. I'm like, oh, with shot, it's pretty serious 625 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 5: about this. 626 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 4: So we went through the process and I got life insurance. 627 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,160 Speaker 5: And maybe you could talk to people why it's so 628 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 5: valuable and so that's really important and how we've seen 629 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 5: some cases where people didn't have life insurance and the 630 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 5: outcome of what it left their family with, right, because 631 00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 5: it's not really for the people who dies, for the 632 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 5: people who remain living, right. 633 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 4: So yeah, and you want to talk about that, yeah 634 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 4: for sure. 635 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 3: So yes, So anyway, that's not familiar. I'm a financial advisor. 636 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,000 Speaker 3: That's what I do for a living, right. So I started, 637 00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 3: you know, eleven years ago around that timeframe, and yes, 638 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 3: my first week in the business, my first client was 639 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:51,200 Speaker 3: Troy Truly. Yes, I sold him a life insurance policy. 640 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 3: That's my and then eleven years later, still got it. 641 00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 3: He's still a client of mine. So yeah, So I do. 642 00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 3: I do a few different things, you know. I help 643 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,080 Speaker 3: people in less money retirement, and life insurance is one 644 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 3: of the things that I do as well. So before 645 00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 3: I start, I'm not taking a side on any policy. 646 00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:14,960 Speaker 3: Life insurance is very debatable people have They're very passionate 647 00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 3: about this. I've noticed online you have very strong opinions. 648 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,160 Speaker 3: So I'm not here to tell you which is the 649 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 3: best policy, which you should do, just provide information. You 650 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 3: can make your own decisions for yourself, right. But it 651 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,880 Speaker 3: is interesting that SEA has canceled ninety thousand policies for 652 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 3: retirees because it does highlight something that is important. Is 653 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 3: you know, a lot of times people have insurance at 654 00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 3: their job and they think that that's sufficient. Right. Like 655 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,479 Speaker 3: most things when it comes to finance, people aren't properly 656 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 3: educated a lot of times, right, so they don't really 657 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 3: fully understand life insurance or even why it's important how 658 00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 3: to get it, you know, they don't really know, so 659 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,240 Speaker 3: they just say, Okay, I have it at my job, 660 00:33:58,400 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 3: and whatever it is what it is. 661 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 2: Right. 662 00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 3: So now is to say, okay, which is better the 663 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 3: insurance at your job or the insurance that you can 664 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:12,880 Speaker 3: get privately through institution or company. Right, I always recommend both, right, 665 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 3: Because the insurance at your job. The good thing about 666 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 3: that is that it's usually very low as far as 667 00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:22,879 Speaker 3: premiums are concerned, or sometimes it's even free, so it's 668 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 3: not really costing you anything. So it's always good to have, right. 669 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 3: But the problem with having it as your only type 670 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 3: of insurance is what we just saw, right, is that 671 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,200 Speaker 3: a lot of times it's not portable, meaning that you 672 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:38,440 Speaker 3: can't take it with you when you retire, or if 673 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 3: you can take it with you, then the premium may 674 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 3: go up because now you're no longer part of that group. 675 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 3: It's like health insurance, right, Like if you leave your 676 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 3: job now, you can still keep your health insurance for 677 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 3: a certain amount of time, but you're on what's called cobra, right, 678 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 3: So now your health insurance premiums go up. So sometimes 679 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:54,839 Speaker 3: life insurance is the same, or even if the life 680 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 3: insurance premiums stay the same, it's still subject to the company. 681 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 3: You know, they can change it. So just like what 682 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,319 Speaker 3: Saias did, right. So okay, first of all, we need 683 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 3: to talk about and understand why life insurance is important. Right. 684 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,520 Speaker 3: So it's important for a few different reasons, but the 685 00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 3: main reason obviously, is that you want to provide a 686 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 3: certain level of comfort, and you want to leave a legacy, 687 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 3: and you want to be able to take care of 688 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:23,480 Speaker 3: your financial responsibilities when you're no longer here. I always 689 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,439 Speaker 3: say all the time, it's nobody's responsibility to take care 690 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 3: of your family except for you, right. And that's men 691 00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 3: and women, right, because we live in a society where 692 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 3: men and women work, and a lot of times women 693 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 3: make more money than the men. Right. They're the bread 694 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 3: winners in the home, or they may be single parents 695 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 3: on both sides, or even if you don't have a children, 696 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,040 Speaker 3: you still have responsibilities, right, so I equate. You know, 697 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 3: it's unfortunate a lot of times, especially in our community, 698 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 3: when somebody passes away and other people have to raise 699 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 3: money for them, right, like go fund me pages and 700 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,360 Speaker 3: things like that. That would be kind of like, and 701 00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,360 Speaker 3: this is no shame on anybody, because you have to 702 00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:04,440 Speaker 3: do what you have to do. But I'm just saying 703 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,840 Speaker 3: as far that that person didn't plant properly, right, that 704 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,120 Speaker 3: would be the equivalent of somebody coming into your home 705 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 3: and having to pay your bills for you. Right, It's 706 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 3: your responsibility to take care of that, right. So that's 707 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,640 Speaker 3: what Life Insurance does, right. It allows your family to 708 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 3: go on and to take care of your responsibility when 709 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:27,160 Speaker 3: you pass, as far as just the basics of burying yourself, 710 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,400 Speaker 3: but also you know, putting your kids in school and 711 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,080 Speaker 3: making sure that they have clothes to wear and that 712 00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:34,879 Speaker 3: they can go to college and things of that nature. 713 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:35,080 Speaker 6: Right. 714 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,839 Speaker 3: So, and it's important that we start to think long 715 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,399 Speaker 3: term too, because when we talk about generational wealth, that's 716 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,960 Speaker 3: like a real popular term, but what does that really mean? Right? 717 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,680 Speaker 3: That means that you want to create wealth for generations. 718 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 3: So One of the easiest ways to create wealth for 719 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 3: generations is to have a life insurance policy, right, because 720 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 3: what you're doing is actually buying money, right. So that's 721 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,760 Speaker 3: one of the most efficient, one of the easiest ways 722 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,120 Speaker 3: to create generational wealth because it's it's a trendy term, 723 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 3: but the average person doesn't have a multi million dollar 724 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 3: business that they can leave. The average person doesn't have 725 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 3: five million dollars in a bank that they can lead, right. 726 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,200 Speaker 3: The average person might not even have a home. They 727 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 3: might not even own a home. But you can own 728 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:18,000 Speaker 3: an insurance policy. You can have one hundred thousand dollars, 729 00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,279 Speaker 3: half a million, a million dollars. That's realistic, right, So 730 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:23,959 Speaker 3: this is something that can actually be obtained in real life, 731 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:25,840 Speaker 3: not just to catchy phrase. 732 00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:28,040 Speaker 5: So at twenty five, when you told me that, and 733 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,359 Speaker 5: I was in my mind I'm not even thinking about 734 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,160 Speaker 5: life insurance, but when I saw how serious you were 735 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,719 Speaker 5: about it, I'm like, wait, this makes perfect sense. I 736 00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 5: mean you probably you detailed it it just like how 737 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 5: you did now straight from me, and I was like, wow, 738 00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 5: I have to. 739 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 3: Get this as early as possible. And you planned for 740 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,400 Speaker 3: the future because when you got the insurance, you were 741 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 3: single right, No, yep, But now you have a family, 742 00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 3: you have kids, you have a wife, you have a home, 743 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 3: so now you really need it, right, it. 744 00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:54,320 Speaker 4: Makes more sense. I'm like, wow, I've had that's a 745 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 4: good thing. I've had this for eleven years now, right, 746 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,480 Speaker 4: Like it meant so much. I just want to go 747 00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 4: back because you said the previous so low. 748 00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 5: When you do it at your job, one of the 749 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,000 Speaker 5: things that studies are shown is that the assurance. 750 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,560 Speaker 4: Amounts are a lot lower than when you do it 751 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 4: with a group. 752 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,520 Speaker 5: So it ranges from twenty five thousand dollars policy to 753 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,840 Speaker 5: maybe a fifty thousand dollars policy, whereas that might not 754 00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 5: even cover what you need as far as your financial 755 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,840 Speaker 5: responsibilities in the event that something happens to you. 756 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,720 Speaker 4: So, like you want talk about the difference in the amounts. 757 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'll talk about the amount, but first I 758 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 3: want to actually just talk about the different types of policy. 759 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 3: There's different type of policy. So there's really a few 760 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:31,120 Speaker 3: different types of policies, but it comes down to two 761 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,640 Speaker 3: term policies and a permanent policy. Right, And there's different 762 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:38,000 Speaker 3: types of permanent policies. But a term policy is a 763 00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,840 Speaker 3: policy that lasts a term right, So like ten to fifteen, 764 00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 3: twenty year term, right, so you have life. This is 765 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 3: what most people think abou when think about likee insurance. 766 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:46,880 Speaker 3: It's the most basic form of insurance where you have 767 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:50,480 Speaker 3: an insurance policy, you pay a premium, and if you die, 768 00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,520 Speaker 3: somebody gets money. So it's a term. So let's say 769 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,239 Speaker 3: it's a twenty year term, right, So you're paying your 770 00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,239 Speaker 3: premium for twenty years. If you die before that twenty 771 00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,080 Speaker 3: year mark is up, then your family gets money. You 772 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,000 Speaker 3: outlive that term that you can reapply for the insurance anymore, 773 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 3: you can let it last you don't have it anymore, 774 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 3: but it's just a certain period of time. That's the term. 775 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,800 Speaker 3: And then most group insurance is if your jobs for 776 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,320 Speaker 3: as long as you work at that job, or sometimes 777 00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,399 Speaker 3: it could be extended in retirement. But so that's one 778 00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 3: form of it where it's just a premium a death 779 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,680 Speaker 3: benefit and that's it. Another the flip side to that 780 00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 3: coin is what's called permanent insurance. Right, So permanent insurance 781 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,040 Speaker 3: most of the time most commonly known as what's called 782 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,320 Speaker 3: whole life insurance. There are different types of permanent but 783 00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 3: we'll just keep it basic. Whole life insurance right, whole 784 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 3: life insurance lasts your whole life, you pay a premium, 785 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,480 Speaker 3: you have a death benefit, but it also builds what's 786 00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 3: called cash value. Cash values money that grows inside of 787 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 3: the life insurance policy. Right And the money that goes 788 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,239 Speaker 3: inside of the life insurance policy, now you can use 789 00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,640 Speaker 3: that a line and you can borrow from the policy. 790 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,759 Speaker 3: Right Now, that's the benefit that you can use while 791 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:54,240 Speaker 3: you're alive. 792 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,200 Speaker 7: So, and that's good for people who say, well, some 793 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,400 Speaker 7: people don't really care what they leave for their family 794 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,719 Speaker 7: or you know whoever else, if they're single, they have no. 795 00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:06,200 Speaker 3: Life, right Because so now you're actually saving money as well. 796 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,960 Speaker 3: So it's a double edged sword. Right. So now some 797 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,879 Speaker 3: people say, okay, well only by term insurance, don't buy 798 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 3: whole life insurance, or some people say only buy whole 799 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 3: life insurance, don't buy term insurance. I'm of the mindset 800 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:22,960 Speaker 3: that no shoe is ever going to fit any all foots, right, 801 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 3: so you have to, you know, see what's best for 802 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 3: you and your family, because they both have advantages, and 803 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,719 Speaker 3: they both can be beneficial, and they both have things 804 00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 3: that may not be attractive. Right. So, but one thing 805 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,840 Speaker 3: that I want to keep in mind for our listeners 806 00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:41,879 Speaker 3: is that one of the bigges things why people say 807 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 3: buy term and don't buy whole life is that it's 808 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 3: what's called buy term and invest a difference, Whereas they're 809 00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:50,359 Speaker 3: saying that, well, whole life isn't a good investment because 810 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 3: if you invested your money in stock or an investment, 811 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 3: it would earn more than the rate of return that 812 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:57,640 Speaker 3: it woul get in a whole life policy. That's true, 813 00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 3: but it's not an investment. It's life and right. So 814 00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 3: it's like it's apples to orange. It's apples to orange 815 00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 3: in comparison. So you can do both. You don't have 816 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:08,759 Speaker 3: to do one or the other. Right, You can have 817 00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 3: an investment where you're actually growing money. You can have 818 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,479 Speaker 3: a life insurance policy where it's a permanent policy. Because 819 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,880 Speaker 3: the thing about the life insurance also is that hopefully 820 00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:20,719 Speaker 3: you don't die in twenty years. I mean you have 821 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 3: term insurance. Most of the term policies don't pay out 822 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 3: because most of the time people don't die within that term. 823 00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 3: So if I have a twenty year term policy, I 824 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,400 Speaker 3: don't want to die in twenty years, you know. I 825 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,840 Speaker 3: mean it's good to have just in case, But the 826 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 3: whole life. Everybody's going to die eventually, so it doesn't 827 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,680 Speaker 3: matter whether I'm ninety or one hundred years or I 828 00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:44,399 Speaker 3: can still leave a legacy for my family. So these 829 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 3: are things that you know, people have to understand, and 830 00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,360 Speaker 3: a lot of times in our community it's unfortunate. Especially 831 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,279 Speaker 3: you know, we talk about like Aretha Franklin, right, she 832 00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 3: passed away last year and her state it was a 833 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,480 Speaker 3: mess because she never planned for her estate, right. And 834 00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 3: one of the things I don't know if this is 835 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 3: true or not, but I heard that she said that 836 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,720 Speaker 3: she never really wanted to do a state planning because 837 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,600 Speaker 3: she didn't want to jinx herself. And it's like, you're 838 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 3: gonna die, It's not yeah, nobody, Look newsflash, you're not. 839 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 3: It's going to happen, right, So either you plan for 840 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 3: it or you don't plan for it, but it's going 841 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:24,960 Speaker 3: to happen either way. Right, So I just want to 842 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,840 Speaker 3: take like a couple of minutes. We talked about the 843 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,640 Speaker 3: state planning because part of it is on the financial side, 844 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,520 Speaker 3: like life insurance stuff like that, but it's also it's 845 00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 3: very important to plan on the legal side as well, right, 846 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,840 Speaker 3: So like a will. You're a lawyer, so what is 847 00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,399 Speaker 3: a will? And why should people have a will? Because 848 00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:43,920 Speaker 3: I think that everybody should have a will. A lot 849 00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,319 Speaker 3: of times people have the misconception that if they're not rich, 850 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 3: they're not wealthy, they don't need to have a will, 851 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 3: they can wait to have a will. I think that 852 00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,800 Speaker 3: everybody should have a will, and a will can be 853 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,640 Speaker 3: revised as time goes along. Can you just briefly talk 854 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:56,560 Speaker 3: about like what a will is. 855 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,399 Speaker 7: Yeah, So basically a will is just like a plan 856 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 7: for what's going to happen when you pass away. So 857 00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:03,560 Speaker 7: you're basically going to say, for all the stuff that 858 00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:05,920 Speaker 7: I own, that's a value, I want it to be 859 00:43:06,239 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 7: given out according to this in this manner. And if 860 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:12,880 Speaker 7: you have small children, which is really really important, if 861 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 7: you have small children, to have a will, you're gonna 862 00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 7: dictate who's going to take care of your child, because 863 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 7: if you pass away and you don't have anyone in 864 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,799 Speaker 7: place to take care of your child, like a godparent 865 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,200 Speaker 7: is not a legal guardian. So some of us you 866 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 7: appoint a godparent and you say this person, but that's 867 00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:29,720 Speaker 7: not good. 868 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:30,200 Speaker 3: Enough, you know. 869 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,719 Speaker 7: Basically, so a will is a legal document that as 870 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,400 Speaker 7: long as it's executed like signed in the proper manner, 871 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,160 Speaker 7: is gonna basically be able to say, this is what 872 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,880 Speaker 7: this person wanted, you know, when they passed away with 873 00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:42,719 Speaker 7: their stuff, Okay. 874 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 3: And then also, I think it's important to have a 875 00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,240 Speaker 3: living will, right, So a living will, from my understanding, 876 00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 3: you have a health care proxy and you have the 877 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 3: power returney, yes, right, So can you just brief talk 878 00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:54,320 Speaker 3: about that. 879 00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,040 Speaker 7: So the healthcare proxy, basically, if you get sick and 880 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 7: you're in the hospital, your loved ones will not be 881 00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 7: able to make medical decisions for you, right, So the 882 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,120 Speaker 7: hospital is not going to really take their word for it. 883 00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,320 Speaker 7: And it's also difficult even if you're a spouse, you 884 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 7: may not be able to dictate what happens to that 885 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,640 Speaker 7: person or how the hospital takes care of her him 886 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 7: or her. 887 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 6: And so the healthcare proxy will say, you know, if 888 00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:20,680 Speaker 6: I'm sick, I. 889 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 7: Want this person to make the decision and I want 890 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 7: them to be able to do these particular things. And 891 00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 7: a living will kind of goes even further into that. 892 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,680 Speaker 7: It gives like details of like treatment, like say, God forbid, 893 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 7: you have cancer. It will say like you know, you know, 894 00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 7: I don't want chemo or you know, whatever the case. 895 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,320 Speaker 7: It you can detail exactly what type of treatments that 896 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 7: you have and give direction to the person who you 897 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,360 Speaker 7: gave the health care proxy to so they have some 898 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:49,439 Speaker 7: understanding on how to act on your behalf. So power 899 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,440 Speaker 7: of attorney is also extremely important because if you're incapacitated, 900 00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,960 Speaker 7: like you're still alive, but you can't make decisions for 901 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,920 Speaker 7: yourself the healthcare I'm sorry, the power of attorney is 902 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 7: going to allow you to appoint somebody to take all 903 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 7: your finances, your insurance, your bank accounts, your homes, your 904 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:11,040 Speaker 7: real estate taxes, anything, and if you're taking care of somebody, 905 00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,359 Speaker 7: it allows you to it allow that person who has 906 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,640 Speaker 7: your power of attorney to continue giving like customary gifts 907 00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,359 Speaker 7: that you normally give to somebody, or that you're taking 908 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,799 Speaker 7: care of somebody, so they can handle all those things 909 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,600 Speaker 7: to make sure that your affairs are in order. And 910 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:26,960 Speaker 7: so like sometimes people go God forbid into a coma, 911 00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:28,880 Speaker 7: but they come out. You know, you're not necessarily going 912 00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:31,359 Speaker 7: to die, but you can't make decisions or you're just sick, 913 00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 7: So that kind of covers that. 914 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,160 Speaker 3: Now it's extremely important, and just so quick, I'll take 915 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,440 Speaker 3: a minute just to tell a personal story. So my grandmother. 916 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:43,040 Speaker 3: She had twelve kids, right, so she had Alzheimer's disease. 917 00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,360 Speaker 3: So when she was in the last stages of her 918 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 3: life and she was in a coma and she was 919 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,359 Speaker 3: in a hospital, so long story short, half of her 920 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 3: kids wanted to keep her alive. The other half of 921 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,560 Speaker 3: the kids like, this isn't a quality of life, like 922 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,120 Speaker 3: you need to pull a plug. There fighting with each other. 923 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,320 Speaker 3: Who really knows what she wanted, right, But if she 924 00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 3: would have done that and britten it out like look, 925 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,640 Speaker 3: I don't keep me alive like you know, or keep me, 926 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 3: it wouldn't be an argument. So regardless of how you feel, 927 00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:14,479 Speaker 3: you can't make a decision because it's already put in place. 928 00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 5: This is just. 929 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 3: And also, she owned a home and once again she 930 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 3: didn't have a will, right, So now you have twelve 931 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 3: kids that have different ideas of what they want to 932 00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:27,200 Speaker 3: do with the home. Someone to rent it out, someone 933 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,320 Speaker 3: to sell it. So now it just causes fights. You 934 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 3: break up families, brothers and sisters stop speaking to each other. 935 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,680 Speaker 3: It happens all the time. It's pretty common, right, So 936 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 3: this is an unfortunate situation and this is something that 937 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:45,640 Speaker 3: we have to plan for.
