And when I graduated from It's crazy. 29 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: I used to play basketball, so I knew that in 30 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: New York right away.

Well, you know, growing up had who dreams. 35 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: So you know, I was going to the league obviously, 36 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: when that didn't work out, try to go overseas. That 37 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: didn't work out, So coming back home, I always knew 38 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: that I didn't want to work a regular job. I 39 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: always wanted to be an entrepreneur, business owner, something like that. 40 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: So I tried my hand at being a financial advisor 41 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: and I studied, I got licensed, and um I started 42 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: a career as a financial advisor working for an insurance 43 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: company selling life insurance, retirement plans, investment and stuff like that. 44 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: Your first client was Troy, my first ge. So as 45 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: I was doing that, he started his career as a teacher. 46 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: So I never understood that because I'm like, that's like 47 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: an mmate breaking back into jail. Like what I'm saying, 48 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: like I hated school. I hated school, and he goes 49 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 1: to school his whole life to go back to school. 50 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: So he was teaching, and he was in the Bronx 51 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: and he was teaching, and you know, I was like 52 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,800 Speaker 1: the most anti our school person in the world. I 53 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: never wanted to step foot in school after I was 54 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: done with school. But it had a career day at 55 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: his school and he asked me to come in and 56 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: talk to the kids. So I came and I told 57 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: him what I did, and surprisingly they was actually very 58 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: into it. And it was an eye open experience for me, Like, 59 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: you know, going to the school. Hadn't been in schooling 60 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: so long, and going to the school was like, you know, 61 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: they check your your I D. And all of that 62 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: all right, and then you gotta go through the metal 63 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: detective and you got to sign in and then all 64 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: of the windows have bars on it and nobody can 65 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: leave the building from seven o'clock to three o'clock and 66 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: all the walls is blue. So I'm like this, this 67 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: looks like a penitentiary. Like you know what I'm saying, 68 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: Like this is in an environment to learn it. So 69 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: it was like, this is crazy. How you expect kids 70 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: to really become something if this is what they have 71 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: to look forward to every day. So from there, you know, 72 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: Troy had develop a program. He's working on a program 73 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,119 Speaker 1: with It was like fourteen year olds, the age that 74 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: was too old to go to camp, but too young 75 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: to work. That's a very dangerous age because it's like, 76 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: you know, most of the time your parents is working, 77 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 1: so you got home all summer and now you don't 78 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: have anything to do and you fall into a bunch 79 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: of negative influences. So it was a program where they 80 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: had the kids from Monday to Friday and they would 81 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: do job in termships two days a week, and then 82 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: two days a week there was classroom visits. Classroom days 83 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: where they will learn about etiquette. They will learn about 84 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 1: a variety of different things, and one of the things 85 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: that they learned was financial literacy. To I had to 86 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: at the call them like, look, man, we got this 87 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: this situation here, we're teaching a lot of things. I'm 88 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: already working in school with middle school age kids, and 89 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: I'm like, I know the things that we're learning right 90 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: here is not going to be applied in the future 91 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 1: in life. And so I said, all right, I need 92 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: you to come back and help me. I need you 93 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: to teach financial literacy, like he said. He was just 94 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 1: starting his career, and he was like, I'm like, no, 95 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: his hout is gonna work. I'll write the lesson plans 96 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: because that's what I do. You'll come in and just 97 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: execute the lessons plans. I'll show you how to teach. 98 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 1: And we started getting a nice little formula that I 99 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: wild show them how to write lessons and come up 100 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 1: with lessons. He would teach me about business, and so 101 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 1: we started teaching the two kids. It was like, all right, 102 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: we got something here. And then he had like a 103 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: brilliant idea, like, you know what, we should record this 104 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: because one of our young ladies was working with us 105 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 1: shout out since Valencia. She had come super popular for 106 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: teaching in Baltimore, but she was recording their classrooms and 107 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: we were like everybody was like, I need that type 108 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: of teacher. I wish I had that type of teacher. 109 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: And he was like, all right, I'm gonna record these 110 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: lessons and I'm just sitting here like all right, whatever, man, 111 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: let's just keep it going, you know what I'm saying, 112 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: because there's so much they need to learn. And at 113 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: the end, this is the key. They were going to 114 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: get paid. So it's the first time these fourteen yearlds 115 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: were gonna have money, and so the value of that 116 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: was like we need to teach them about the value, 117 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: like what money is, how to be responsible with it, 118 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: how to save, how to invest, how to share it? Right, 119 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: because the first thing they're gonna do once they get paid, 120 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: like it's back to school, We're gonna blow this bread. 121 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 1: But that's true at any age. Teenagers are gonna do that. Adults, 122 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: everybody does that. Right. If we don't know what to 123 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: do with it, we do what we know and that 124 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: should spend right, And so he just started recording and 125 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: then yeah, it's one crazy on social media and then 126 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: that was like the start event and everybody was asking, like, 127 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: you know, a content. They thought we had a podcast already, 128 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: and then you know, I was like, all right, let's 129 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 1: just do a podcast, and then three years later, here 130 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: we are. Yeah, I think we got that. Like we 131 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 1: had no idea what the podcast was, like they asked 132 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: him doing it. I'm like, what do you do? What 133 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: does that even mean? Like the same thing, like, how 134 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 1: do you record? What does this goal? He definitely didn't know. 135 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: He just said, just sign me up. Meant to be 136 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: my dog going, I'm right behind it. That's exactly what 137 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: it was. He was like, you want to do It 138 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,200 Speaker 1: was in my basement. He's like, you want to do 139 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: a podcast? I was like, all right, what we do? 140 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: And then we just took him from there. Like I meant, 141 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 1: he wrote down everything and he wanted to do, and 142 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,599 Speaker 1: I was like, all right, it was coming. We gotta 143 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: do a name. How many times we're gonna record, what 144 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: we're gonna wear, what we're gonna talk about when we're 145 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: gonna release it, How are we gonna release it? What 146 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: are we gonna record? All these things that we had 147 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: no house or like literally in house, we're gonna talk 148 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: about this, but keep going. Yeah, so in house, like 149 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: in my dining room and so literally literally in my 150 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: dining room, like with my just kind a new ship 151 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: to live. We had to make sure that that wasn't 152 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,480 Speaker 1: in each shop. We used our iPhones and had these 153 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: shotgun mikes. Uh, we had to he put out a post. 154 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: We do even know how to record. So he put 155 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: out the post and like, yo, does anybody not to 156 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: record a podcast? And somebody responded and I was like 157 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,559 Speaker 1: I know him, like he was my son's daycare teacher. 158 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: And so he started coming and recording for us and 159 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 1: be like, all right, so I'm watching that he's as 160 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: he's doing it. But we were just like, all right, 161 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 1: we kind of want to keep things in Like if 162 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: he wanted to fix something, I'm like, I need to 163 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: know right away so I could fix it rather than 164 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: telling the third party. And it's like, we gotta wait 165 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: for that. So I just started studying everything about how 166 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: to record, Like I spent like ten to fifteen hours 167 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: on learning the garage man. It's been on my computer, 168 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: had no idea how to use it. I started watching 169 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: shows very intently. I'm looking at the breakfast club, what 170 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: mikes they're using? All right, we gotta get those mics. 171 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: We gotta sound like them. We gotta be the best, right, 172 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: And so like when I both remember going to uh 173 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: Guitar Center and the box was like this mike was 174 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: used by Michael Michael Jackson when he recorded Thrilling. I'm like, yeah, 175 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: we need this right, what we need? And then I 176 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: spent hours in Guitar Center teaching me about what xcel 177 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: our chords or teaching me how to use the focus right. 178 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: And I was like, all right, I think I got it. 179 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: We can produce this. We just went crazy. Then I'll 180 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: let him talk about the social media part, because that 181 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: really propelled it even further. Yeah, social media changed everything 182 00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: for us. And I was like I had an idea. 183 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: I always knew that the good thing with Instagram is 184 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: that it made an opportunity for really anybody to become 185 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: a celebrity to be heard. So it was like, you know, 186 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: previously you have to be an athlete or entertainer to 187 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: be a celebrity in our culture at least, but I 188 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: started seeing like you could be a celebrity chef, you 189 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 1: could be a celebrity trainer. So I'm like, you could 190 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: even be a celebrity financial guy. So I was like, 191 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: all right, if we just put out content and put 192 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: it on social media and like swag it up Like 193 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: what I mean, it's like the way we present content 194 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: is completely different. So people really like it was the 195 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: first time that they actually got to see financial literacy, 196 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: business and investing. But it was like a conversation that 197 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 1: you was having in a barbershop from my own culture exactly. 198 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 1: It's only different, never been done before exactly exactly. And 199 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 1: then it's it's just caught like wildfire. Everything just was 200 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: gonna viral, people sharing stuff, information and it was just 201 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: like where we are now, everything which is organic what 202 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: social media Instagram was like really the the engine that 203 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: propelled everything. I love it. Speak to we're kind of 204 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: talking about an off camera and it really isn't even 205 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: on script, but the way you were kind of breaking 206 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: it down to me, like I think it needs to 207 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: be heard, the importance of having your I P. And 208 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 1: how you guys because you guys are correct me from 209 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 1: wrong three different shows, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean 210 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: talk your ship real quickly. I mean we always you know, 211 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: just coming in. Everything that we did was just independent. 212 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: Like he said, we started, you know, in his dying 213 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 1: in room, and we learned everything and we was real 214 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: big on just maintaining our independence from an early point 215 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: and just seeing how you know, people made mistakes in music, 216 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: we understood like it's something that's very important to have 217 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: control over what you create. So that was very important 218 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: for us from the beginning. And the leverage is that, 219 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: you know, we didn't necessarily need the money because at first, 220 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 1: you know, I was I still have my job, He 221 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: still had his job, So we was fine with just 222 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 1: you know, reinvesting the money that we was getting. And 223 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 1: then once we started to actually think about the podcast game. 224 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: We can talk about this if you want as well, 225 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: we found other ways to monetize other than like the 226 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: regular podcast way. It's just only through corporate ads. So 227 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,600 Speaker 1: we was kind of cool with not having any corporate 228 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: ads and we can still monetize the situation. So that 229 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: gave us a lot of leverage when we was when 230 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 1: we came in to start working with corporations where it's 231 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: like I have no problem partnering with you, but this 232 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: is still our situation. So like you said, as far 233 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: as um, you know, we have like relationships with our 234 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: heart um, shout out to them, shout out to Charlemagne. 235 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 1: We have relationships with a lot of different companies, Allied, 236 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: Bang Chase, things of that nature, but there are partners, 237 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: you know, it's a difference from actually, you know, working 238 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: with somebody, working for somebody. So that's something that you know, 239 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 1: we was we was really big on early on. And 240 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: the fortunate thing for us is that being in the 241 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: business space, we were able to learn a lot too 242 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: from like connecting with different people, different lawyers, different conversations 243 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: that we were having. So every conversation that we was having, 244 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: it was of like a free tutorial. Yeah. So so 245 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: that's something that I encourage everybody to do, is you know, 246 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: and even if you do sell it later on. It's 247 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: something that Dame told me to shout out to Dane. 248 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: You should have him as a guest by the way, 249 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: he loves to smoke. Yeah, Dane told me, he was like, 250 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,079 Speaker 1: you know, even if you lease the content, it's nothing 251 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: wrong with that. Like what I'm saying, like you can 252 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: lease it for a couple of years and then getting 253 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,479 Speaker 1: back and then that way it's like you leverage the corporation, 254 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 1: they put you on a bigger platform, you get a bag. 255 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: But then after the two years, then you can get 256 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: that like it's like an artist like you know, having 257 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: their masters and then they can reverse it back to 258 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: them after a couple of years. We talked like t 259 00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: I had spoke to us about that as well, so 260 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: you know, just picking up a game from different people, 261 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: and it's like, all right, this is the way to 262 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 1: actually still leverage and keep our independence, keep the brand 263 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 1: that we've built, but also use the corporations to just 264 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: raise our platform. It's crazy because we act, like you said, 265 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: like every time we had a guest, it was like 266 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: we were learning. And now when we hear it, like, 267 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: we got to apply it. And so when we had 268 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: tax professional come on, she's telling this game, all right, 269 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: we got apply. When we had our attorney come on, 270 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: she's talking about trademark and it was like, wait, we 271 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 1: can't keep saying the name without trademarket. So peoplen't even 272 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: realize that's the step that we got a trade market, 273 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: but trademarket in specific areas because there's different categories, right, 274 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: So if I want to have this merchant and I 275 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 1: have to trademarket for merch, I also have to trademarket 276 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: if I'm using it for an educational platform, which it is. 277 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: And so that was a process too. But even like 278 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 1: that licensing piece, like we did an episode rest in 279 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: Peace to Virgil, We're breaking down how he was leveraging 280 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: off White's name to license. We saw that with Disney already, right, 281 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: we see Mickey Mouse everywhere, Like, wow, that's not a 282 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: Disney story. Oh, they're licensed in the character. Was like, oh, 283 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: So as we kept listening and getting information, we kept 284 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: executing on the information. Right. I always say, like people 285 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: are watching and listening, they're not paying attention, right, they 286 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: just want to be entertained. But it was like, now 287 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: we're here to educate. This is different. So that was 288 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,199 Speaker 1: like the game changes. I think you guys make it 289 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: understandable because I think for so often the people delivering 290 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: the message can't relate to us period. So anything they say, 291 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 1: you may pick up things here and there, but I 292 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,319 Speaker 1: feel like it's still a problem in the NBA that 293 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: who's delivering them message doesn't get through. It doesn't break through. 294 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,719 Speaker 1: So you guys are being more relatable obviously, you know 295 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: Jack touched on that earlier, but just being something from 296 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: the culture for the culture, so if we could learn 297 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 1: from each other man, that's the key. You know, you're 298 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: making it fun. I was listening to Kendrick for while 299 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: I was coming here, and he had this line he 300 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: was like, how do I enlighten you without trying to 301 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: frighten you? And I was like, Oh, that's it right, 302 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,679 Speaker 1: We're gonna speak the language because it's digestible. And this 303 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: is how we wherever the music we listened to, this 304 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: is what it sounds like, the conversation we have, whether 305 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: being the barbershop, this is what it sounds like, and 306 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 1: this is naturally what we do. So it's like they're 307 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: going to be more receptive because it looks like someone 308 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: that we did at this event with the NFL. Remember us. 309 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: We came and they had like a bunch of people 310 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: speaking and uh, you know, shirts and ties and everything, 311 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: and they hit they sitting in the room, They're like 312 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: who these guys coming? And then they put us up last, 313 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: and so we you know, we talked about you know, 314 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 1: different types of topics and saving and what they could 315 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,959 Speaker 1: do with their money. And after we finished, they were like, yo, 316 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: damn bro, why do they put your last? Man? I 317 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 1: was bored month like you know what I'm saying. They 318 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: they're not trying to hear that, you know what I'm saying, 319 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: So like yeah, it was like a breath of feuer 320 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,240 Speaker 1: for them for sure. Yeah, you grew your audience really quick. 321 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: Why do you feel like I mean, I think we know, 322 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: but why do you feel like you grew so fast? 323 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: I feel like one of the best device that I 324 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 1: got coming in social media is look what everybody else 325 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: is doing, do the complete opposite. And I feel like 326 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: that's true in anything in life, like the vast majority 327 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: of people are gonna follow whatever it is successful at 328 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 1: that point in time. Music fashion with most people just 329 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: follow us. The problem with following is that you're always 330 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: gonna be one step behind, and you've always gotta whenever 331 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: the leader decides to change directions, you gotta change directions 332 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: with the leader, as opposed to just doing your own things. 333 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: So when we came in, everybody I was talking about 334 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: was finance. Even black people talking about finance. They was 335 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: all buttoned up, they wore suitors. Not wrong with that, 336 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 1: but that's not how we were dressing on a regular basis. 337 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: So we used music, sports culture, fashion, all of that, 338 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: and then we tied it in with pop culture, like 339 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 1: even breaking down different finance stories originally started Originally, the 340 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: original tagline was the back Stories of Sports and Entertainment, 341 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: So like the first couple episodes, we really focused on 342 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 1: sports entertainment. We was breaking down the deals like fifty 343 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: cents vitamin waterdal or Soldier Boy and stuff like that, 344 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: and people really love that because it's like the trojan horse, 345 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: like people, we know we love sports and entertainment, so 346 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: we'll leave with a headline of story about sports entertainment, 347 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: but we'll tie in the business on the back end. 348 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: And then we didn't even have to do that anymore. 349 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: We just started just talking about straight business. So I 350 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: think the reason that we grew so fast was that 351 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: a we was just true to ourselves. We didn't try 352 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 1: to be anybody that we weren't, and there was a 353 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: wide variety of people that was left out, Like there 354 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 1: was people that thought that a business podcast from two 355 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: young black men could never become as successful as it 356 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: was because they thought that black people wasn't interested in business. 357 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 1: Because now that there wasn't interested in business, and they 358 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 1: just nobody was speaking to them, and for a long 359 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: time just thought that it was over our head, like 360 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: they try to complicate things and making them like Okay, 361 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: that's not for you, let us do it, don't worry 362 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: about it. But then once they realized like, no, this 363 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 1: isn't that complicated. I could do this. I can understand 364 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: it's just like anything else. And now it becomes fun. 365 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: It's like, oh, I can make money in stocks, I 366 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 1: can make money in crypto. I could do I could 367 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: buy a real estate, I could do this, I could 368 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: do that. And it's really generational changing because it's like, 369 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: you know, we're taught to just go to school and 370 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: get a job, right unless you you know, are fortunate 371 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: enough to make it to the league or become a rapper. 372 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: But that's a very small percentative population. So the vast 373 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: majority of people is like, all right, if I can 374 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: get a union job, or if I can become like 375 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: when we're from like sanitation and something like, that's real 376 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 1: big and there's no disrespect. That's a that's a tremendously 377 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 1: important job. But it's like we never think bigger than 378 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 1: that because we don't see bigger than that, you know, 379 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 1: we don't we don't know a lot of CEOs, we 380 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: don't know a lot of you know, people that's really 381 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: running hedge funds and stuff like that, So you only 382 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,560 Speaker 1: really aspire to what you see. That's why we aspire 383 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,920 Speaker 1: to be athletes. Because that yeah, that's yeah, because we 384 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: know at least one of those that successful. You know 385 00:16:57,640 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, it's like, oh, my man, just gotta 386 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: a record, my man. So it's like but now they 387 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: can say, Okay, well he actually doing this in real estate. 388 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: He's actually doing this as an accountant, and he's still cool. 389 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 1: He still listened to the same music, is still dressed 390 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: the same way, and there's no problem. And then the 391 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 1: music was like a part of the carrot. Right Like 392 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: when we was in the classroom, it was like I 393 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 1: remember writing rap lyrics and when the kids sat down, 394 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: like they read the lyric and I was like, oh, 395 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: we're gonna teach about business. So I would use like 396 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 1: twenty one Savage, I would use jay Z. We used 397 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: I remember we used the Beyonce drink when she was 398 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: like my check, put some respect on my check, pay 399 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: me the equity, watched me the vers of the Dead, 400 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: like just that bar. Like now we got a whole 401 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,879 Speaker 1: financial literacy lesson based on what Beyonce said, like what's equity, Well, 402 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 1: here's what it is. You see what I'm saying, And 403 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: that was a carrot. Now we can have any discussion. 404 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 1: Plus we dressed like you said, we dressed how we dressed. 405 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,680 Speaker 1: It was like that was the social equity. You walk 406 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: into school and you got a fresh player of Jayson, 407 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 1: They're like, all right, let me hear what he's saying. 408 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: Rather if you know, I wouldn't in there with my 409 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,719 Speaker 1: shirt and time no respect about it. That does that. 410 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: But it's like, hey, come another teacher. It's like, who 411 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: are these us? You know what I'm saying. It gives 412 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: the aspiration. Like you said, there's three things that we 413 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: know we can be because that's all you ever watched. 414 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: Like I remember watching Rap City, I remember watching I 415 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: watched all nothing but sports, and I was like, all right, 416 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: well if I don't do those things, what's my value? 417 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: Like what value do I have? Like you know what 418 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 1: I'm saying, the athlete, the ballplayer, or like you said, 419 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: like a hustle. It's like that that same love, Like 420 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: if you get that love as a hustle, like you 421 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: you got a nice call, you've got a nice watch, 422 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 1: you know, the girls whatever, and it's like that's something 423 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: that you can aspire to. But now they see like 424 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: you can have that just legally you don't have to, 425 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 1: you know, sacrifice your life for your freedom to attain 426 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: these things. So it's just open up I think a 427 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: whole new generation's mind that there's so many limitless possibility. 428 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: I talk, they talk, You're talking to the language that 429 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: nobody was talking though, like in that space, you know 430 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,440 Speaker 1: what I'm saying makes it relatable to us, Like even 431 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: even me, you know, I'm a real one. I wasn't 432 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: interested in listening to it. I learned about it until 433 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,640 Speaker 1: I started watching y'all show, So you know what I'm saying, 434 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: But I can understand it. Certain people I don't want 435 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: to listen to. You know what I'm and I just 436 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: convibe with. So to be able to bring that to 437 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 1: our coach and talk to talk that we understand, that's 438 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 1: big for us. We need that it's digestible to like, 439 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: it's not overwhelming, yeah, and it's it's people that look 440 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: like us, right, Like how many times do we have 441 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: people that look like us that are being champion Like 442 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: before like we started the platform, we didn't see it. It 443 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: It was like the aspiration was like, all right, maybe 444 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,359 Speaker 1: they'll get to the breakfast club and then people be 445 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,120 Speaker 1: able to see him, and so we were like, well, 446 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: everybody can't make it there slight some of the people 447 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: who are doing amazing things and giving them a platform 448 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 1: to speak.

Like you 498 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,760 Speaker 1: have a god like gift, right, Like you have a 499 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,120 Speaker 1: gift that was given to you. Even if I try 500 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: my heart, especially like if I talk about it, I'm 501 00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: not gonna be like I can't make it to the league, right, 502 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: so what do I do? Oh wait, I can do 503 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: these things right what I'm saying, And you can't too. 504 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 1: That's what he said. It's giving people everybody can. Everybody can, 505 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 1: everybody can be in business. Everybody in this room is 506 00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: in business. Everybody's in business. And that's the thing that 507 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: we learned very early, was like there is no age 508 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,680 Speaker 1: limit to it. So when we were teaching fourteen year rows. 509 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: It was cool, but their parents need to know this 510 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 1: information too, right, And like I think I heard somebody 511 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: say this the other day. It was like the only 512 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,159 Speaker 1: color that matters and business is green. Right, And so 513 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: like when we teach people and we see them executing 514 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: on it, it's like, all right, they're making money. That's 515 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: why they keep coming back to it, because it's like, wait, 516 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: this is different, right, This isn't isn't a transactional relationship. 517 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,880 Speaker 1: I always talk about transactional and transformational is two different things. Right, 518 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: I pay you, I go see your game. You entertain me. 519 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 1: If I can afford to pay to come back to 520 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: watch you play, I'm good. If I can't, now what 521 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: I watch you on TV, you can entertain me if 522 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: I give you information that makes it transformational. I give 523 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: you information, you execute on it, you make money. WHOA, 524 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 1: I gotta go back. And when I go back, I'm 525 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:04,959 Speaker 1: bringing him with me, Like, Yo, look I just make 526 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: some money. Come here, sist Like yeah, really, you come here? 527 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,479 Speaker 1: Sis like we made and now see that changes tratrector 528 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: of her family. You see what I'm saying. Now, It's like, wait, Domino, 529 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: you forgot about the game you used to watch this 530 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 1: is the new game. When did you guys kind of 531 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: realized you were making an impact in these communities? You know, 532 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: so crazy being in l A. So shout to out Harrington. 533 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 1: This was early so episode sixteen, we came. This is 534 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 1: our first trip that we took. That's when I met 535 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: you all right before. So episode six team came to 536 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 1: l A to shoot out Harrington. He was like our 537 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: first celebrity that we shot also, so being that we 538 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 1: was in l A, we had the idea to just 539 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 1: do a networking event, free networking event, and we had 540 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: never been to LA to do an event before. We 541 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 1: had never done an event before, so we didn't really 542 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 1: know what to expect. Long story short, it was packed. 543 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: People came from San Diego O see all and it 544 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: was in Carson on a Monday. It was very random 545 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,719 Speaker 1: and people and I'm like, all right, people coming from 546 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,159 Speaker 1: two hours like it's something there, Like you know what 547 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: I mean. That was like the first thing that really 548 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: like gave us the confidence to be like, all right, 549 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: this is gonna be big. I remember teaching. I was 550 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,400 Speaker 1: I was a physic teacher and him and the other 551 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: part of Mike, you know, they've always been entrepreneurs and 552 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 1: um that we were putting up post and putting up episodes, 553 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: and somebody wrote under a post like, YO, you're not 554 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: gonna believe this, but I'm in Nigeria right now and 555 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,919 Speaker 1: I'm listening to y'all and it's changing my life. And 556 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: I'm been sitting here trying to teach kids like spatial 557 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: awareness using hula hoo. I'm looking at my phone like, oh, 558 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: this is different. Like this is different, Like there's an 559 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,760 Speaker 1: impact here, there's a greater impact outside of here. And 560 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, we gotta keep going. They were like, yo, 561 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: when you're gonna get your job, you get your job. 562 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: I'm like, I can feel it coming. It's about what's 563 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:05,880 Speaker 1: one piece of financial of us you would give someone 564 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: starting their business. I would say, hey, from a financial standpoint, 565 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: make sure you have reserves. That kills a lot of businesses. 566 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 1: As far as like, you start a business, you don't 567 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: really what that means, all right, so money that saved up. 568 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 1: So if you start a business right and you don't 569 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: have any money, what happens is that usually in business 570 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: you don't make money at least for like the first 571 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: couple of years on average. Right, Some businesses you know 572 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: are different, but you don't make money for the first 573 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: couple of years. So now if you start a business 574 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: and you don't have any income coming in or the 575 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: money that you have coming in, you gotta you gotta 576 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 1: put it back out to reinvest in the business. Now 577 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: it puts you in a tremendous financial hardship, so you gotta, 578 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: you know, try to borrow money from friends or you 579 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: to pleach your retirement save and stuff like that. And 580 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: that's why a lot of small businesses fail. Our problem 581 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: in our community is that there's no mentorship. It's not 582 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: that there's a lack of entrepreneurship, because you see a 583 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: lot of entrepreneurs, but how many mom and pop businesses 584 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: you see start and then three months later the closes. 585 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: It's a it's a cycle. The reason being is that 586 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: eight is no mentorship, lack of funding, and the not 587 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: having a business plan in place. So having a plan 588 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: in place and understanding that all right, this is gonna 589 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:21,479 Speaker 1: take some time, so I'm gonna have money saved up, 590 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: or you can not actually leave your job yet, like 591 00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 1: you can still work your job knowing that you know, 592 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: if this isn't gonna work out, for me right away, 593 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: I still have some income that's coming in, right. I 594 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: can't just rely just on being an entrepreneur, because there's 595 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 1: ups and downs and an entrepreneurships you might make ten 596 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: one month and you might not make any money for 597 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: four months. And that's something that I learned early on, 598 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: you know, working the job that I did, it was 599 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 1: commission based, so I learned early on about you know, 600 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: how to budget your money, how not to It's like sports, 601 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 1: like you never get too how you never get too low? Exactly, 602 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: it's ups and downs in this game. So it's like 603 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: one minute you bowling, the next minute you down to 604 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: your last dollar. But that's just real, that's just how 605 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: preneurship works, right. But it's like, in order to try 606 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 1: to avoid that, you want to have a strategy. You 607 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: want to try to have as much money saved as possible. 608 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: You always want to reinvest in the business, something that 609 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: we did early on, like like the first eighteen months, 610 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: we any money that came in, we just reinvested it 611 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 1: because we knew that, you know, by taking money prematurely 612 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: is gonna stifle to grow for the business. That's another 613 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 1: thing too, don't try to just ball out the businesses 614 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: and to ball out a businesses to grow. Yeah, So 615 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 1: I mean that's it. That's a couple of tips. I 616 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: think it's great. Like he was on the entrepreneurial side, 617 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 1: I was a guy that was working at nine of five, 618 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: and so I always tell people like, yeah, you can 619 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 1: have your nine of five, but what you do from 620 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: six to twelve with determinent how long you have the 621 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 1: nine of five? And so like when we were doing this, 622 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: I was teaching, but like on my lunch break, I'm reading, 623 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: I'm looking at episodes, I'm teaching myself, I'm learning, I'm 624 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: shooting ads. Were doing anchor. I'll be in the bathroom 625 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: like everybody's quiet out there, like shooting an ad. Like 626 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: whatever free time I had, I was spending on doing 627 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: this because I'm like, all right, this will take me 628 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,639 Speaker 1: out of this nine of five. And so like again, 629 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: you don't have to quit your nine of five to 630 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 1: start a business. Wait until you've actually accumulated money inside 631 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: that business. Like you said, we stayed down till we 632 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,159 Speaker 1: came up eighteen months, probably a little bit longer. We 633 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: didn't take anything until we said you all right, we 634 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: were at a point where we can actually have a 635 00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 1: distribution from what we've we've generated in and feeling. So 636 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: stay down till you come up game talk about the 637 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,160 Speaker 1: y R universe and how that came about from the podcast. 638 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:26,479 Speaker 1: From the podcast. Yeah, so university was something that all right, 639 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: we realized that there was millions of people that was 640 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: checking out our content, right, and it's like, all right, 641 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: how do we give a more in depth experience. So 642 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: we kind of look at it's like public school and 643 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:41,680 Speaker 1: private school. So the public school is Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, Apple, 644 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: that's free, free information anybody can learn all day. We 645 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: put out content like all day. Some people meet more 646 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: of a hands on experience. So we decided to actually 647 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 1: create an online institution where it's like at this point 648 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: almost daily daily classes. So it's everything about like how 649 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 1: to trade stocks, how to buy real estate, how to credit, 650 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: business credit, all that stuff and yeah, for sure, so 651 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: we have teachers that actually teach right, and it's built 652 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: out of a school model, because the thing about school 653 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 1: is that the structure of school isn't bad. Is the 654 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: way it's what they're teaching us that's bad. But there's 655 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,719 Speaker 1: there's actually some good benefits in school as far as 656 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 1: the structure of it. So we took the structure of 657 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: school as far as like we created infinity clubs inside. 658 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: So there's twenty different affinity clubs. It's like a military club, 659 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 1: earnest over fifty club, like he said, a cannabis club. 660 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: These are things people like to do things in groups, right, 661 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 1: So we have a book club, a movie club. This 662 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: is all things that actually are built after the school model. Right. 663 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,840 Speaker 1: So we said, okay, we have an opportunity to completely 664 00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,360 Speaker 1: change education. Because it's not that education is bad, like 665 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: I said, it's just what they're teaching us is bad. 666 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: So it's like, all right, if we can actually build 667 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,760 Speaker 1: like an online institution where people are actually learning not theory, 668 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: but people are actually really really doing it right, and 669 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: then they can come together in the community and then 670 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: they can work with each other. How can we do 671 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,239 Speaker 1: this and skill it? So that's when they university came 672 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: into play. And it's like out of fraction at the course. 673 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: So as opposed to paying fifty thou dollars and going 674 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,000 Speaker 1: into debt a semester, you can pay a thousand dollars 675 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,520 Speaker 1: for the entire year. So that was something that we 676 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: thought and we started out two years ago. Now it's 677 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: like twelve tho members University. It was another way to 678 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 1: expand the podcast and show the show. I don't think 679 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: it's something the podcast, so the show. It was definitely 680 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: bigger than that. Bigger than that. Yeah, So imagine if 681 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: Steven Jackson and Matt Barnes did an episode on Earn 682 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: Your Leisure and then three weeks later you have some 683 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: questions about the episode and now they're teaching the class 684 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: about how to start a podcast. Saw this up, Yeah, 685 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying and like, now I'm earn your Legion, I'm 686 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: an earner, and now I get to ask you the 687 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: question that I had after watching that episode. We never 688 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: saw anything like that. You see somebody doing an interior over. Yeah, 689 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,680 Speaker 1: it was like, all right, well here here they are 690 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,479 Speaker 1: right in front of you. You can ask questions and 691 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: you can hear them actually going to more detail. Because 692 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:01,680 Speaker 1: the show it's about the hour our take minutes for 693 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,920 Speaker 1: the most part, but they have more information to give. 694 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 1: So they have that now open form for earners to 695 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: actually hear in death conversation and then ask questions from it. 696 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: To love it. Because you're teaching. You can apply to 697 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: four years of business school or craft six weeks. It's 698 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:22,479 Speaker 1: like one thing that we learned early on my Manduk 699 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: Falcon and people tay about multiple streams of income, right, 700 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: and they say the average millionaire has like seven streams 701 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: of income. So that discourages the average person because they're 702 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 1: looking at it like I gotta get seven jobs, I 703 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,959 Speaker 1: gotta start seven businesses. No, not really, you gotta develop 704 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: seven streams of income from one tree. So it's like, 705 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,720 Speaker 1: I if you, if you are a restaurant owner, now 706 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 1: you should have a cookbook, you can do online tutorials, 707 00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: you can sell merch, you could do uber eats, you 708 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 1: could cater events and your rest so now that's like 709 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: seven different streams, but it's still under the umbrella of 710 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: one restaurant. So we took that same approach as far as, 711 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 1: like you know, with our touring with the merch with 712 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: e Y University, with so many different things that we 713 00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: had Patreon, where it was like, all right, this is 714 00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 1: the original mothership as far as the content, and it's 715 00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: all based around education. But now we can branch out 716 00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: and to do different things. Now it's different businesses too, 717 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 1: And now it's like so we employ probably fifteen people, right, 718 00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: so it's like each business has different people that now 719 00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 1: they're being employed, so now it's actually creating opportunities. So 720 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,840 Speaker 1: we talk about group economics. That's another play on it 721 00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: as well, where it's like, all right, we started trucking business. 722 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: We gotta like eighteen wheel of truck, so we don't 723 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: have time to run the trucking business. And now we've 724 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: got to have somebody to actually one truck. Right now, 725 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,800 Speaker 1: what I tell you in Atlanta like last years that's 726 00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: based in it goes all over those over Yeah, we 727 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,280 Speaker 1: heard that on the episode. So that's what I'm saying. 728 00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 1: We had information that we get to execute on it. 729 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: Now we started trucking business. Now we get to employee 730 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: people that we know from the business. The same thing 731 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: with Vendom Machines. We've been back hire somebody that has 732 00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: grown up with us, and now he's in charge of 733 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: Vendom machine business inside of old high school. Now we 734 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 1: get back to the high school with the profits that 735 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:05,680 Speaker 1: we make for the machine. And so like we get 736 00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: the information and now we execute on it. So it's 737 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,040 Speaker 1: like people are watching it. They're learning the information and 738 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: they're like I could do it, and then they're seeing 739 00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: us actually doing it. I'm doing. That's another thing too, 740 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: what's happening in real time. So it's like they seeing 741 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,960 Speaker 1: they're actually seeing our growth that they've see a lot 742 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: of people have been with us in the beginning. So 743 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 1: they saw us had the dining room table. Now they 744 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,160 Speaker 1: see us going in Egypt, doing a podcast in and 745 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 1: now on a Now what I'm saying it sounds like now, 746 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 1: but it's but it's also inspiring because it's all right, 747 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: we had a trucking episode. Now they see we got 748 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,959 Speaker 1: a truck. We did a Vendom machine episode. Now they 749 00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 1: see we got Vendom machines. They see real estate. Now 750 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,240 Speaker 1: they see we buying homes in Cleveland, and now they 751 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 1: see like, okay, merch.

So I'm like, I you know, 779 00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,799 Speaker 1: being that we had a success and earning a llegion 780 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,840 Speaker 1: that took off, I'm like a it's cool to have, 781 00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: you know, one successful show, but how do we really 782 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: scale it? And it's like we're scale it by a 783 00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 1: start producing content with other people. So I put on 784 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,720 Speaker 1: Instagram like, you know, I want to start producing content 785 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: for other people. And then we just did a stock 786 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,520 Speaker 1: show with Ian Dune lapshot to end. He's a mass 787 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: investor on Instagram and he put on the comments like 788 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,480 Speaker 1: I'm interested, I want to I want to do a show. 789 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: So we collaborated and we came up with the idea 790 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 1: of Market Monday's. Market Monday's is crazy because it came 791 00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,960 Speaker 1: out like at this when the stock market was crashing 792 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,759 Speaker 1: at the beginning of Corona, the stock market crashed, so 793 00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:27,800 Speaker 1: you probably wouldn't think would be a good idea to 794 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:31,040 Speaker 1: put out a stock show, but we put it out 795 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,640 Speaker 1: and it was. It's a live show on YouTube, so 796 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: it's a love experience every Monday at eight o'clock and 797 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: it just becomes a coachural phenomenon. So like last week 798 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: we had ten thousand people on live, like this is crazy. 799 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 1: Like yesterday we had nine thousand people on the same 800 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: time as a national championship game, we competing with Monday 801 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 1: Night Football every Yeah. So it's like, yo, who would 802 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,560 Speaker 1: have thought that people were talking about stocks for two 803 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: hours on Monday night at eight o'clock Monday night football 804 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:59,279 Speaker 1: everything were compete in with ten thousand people watching that 805 00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,600 Speaker 1: one time. That's crazy. So it's just becomes something that's 806 00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,719 Speaker 1: just been really doping. Like I said, shout to end 807 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: because he has really been a real gym as far 808 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,600 Speaker 1: as like helping people and giving them stock and vice 809 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,000 Speaker 1: stock tips. And the best thing is when people actually 810 00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: make money. That's the best form of marketing because it's 811 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: like you tell somebody like this might be something that 812 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 1: could actually potentially do something for you. They invest in it. 813 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,399 Speaker 1: The word of mouth, like you don't even gotta run 814 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 1: ads to night in the best promotion. Yeah, people they 815 00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,000 Speaker 1: walk up to us and they're like, yo, I got 816 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,919 Speaker 1: this my amount of money and my co've never seen 817 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: this money.

Like the fact that even felt 825 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,920 Speaker 1: comfortable showing it to me was one thing, but the 826 00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: fact that he did it and execute it was like 827 00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,719 Speaker 1: another thing. That's that's what I said, Like, that's that 828 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,919 Speaker 1: transform transformational relationship. You made money, Now you come back, 829 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 1: and now you gotta tell people that that amount of 830 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: money can change somebody's situation, right, and then they get 831 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: the skill once they have to skill. Now it's just 832 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,200 Speaker 1: to countdown, right, And I was not like, ya, I 833 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,400 Speaker 1: gotta wait to sixty five to retire, And I was like, 834 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,239 Speaker 1: how much money do I need to stop working? Right now? 835 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,600 Speaker 1: That's that's the shift too. And the crazy thing is 836 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:26,960 Speaker 1: like so many street dudes come up to me all 837 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,680 Speaker 1: the time and they're like, yo, am I in the 838 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:38,879 Speaker 1: d stocks. It's so it's so it's an amazing phenomenon man, 839 00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: Like they I don't know why, but they love stocks 840 00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 1: for anybody. They'd be like, yo, I just did Tesla. 841 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 1: I'm like hi road Like, so it's so crazy that 842 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,520 Speaker 1: that show was like really helped a lot of people. 843 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,040 Speaker 1: And then so after that show became so successful, like 844 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,600 Speaker 1: all right, we need to expand it. So now we started, 845 00:37:57,640 --> 00:38:00,600 Speaker 1: we started the E y O network, started network. Now 846 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,439 Speaker 1: we have five shows. You on a real estate show, 847 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: we have a mental health show, we have another financial 848 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:07,680 Speaker 1: literacy show. I look at like Bill Simmons and the 849 00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,640 Speaker 1: Ringer right like it's like, quietly he got two hundred million, 850 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: quietly like nobody even knows about that, right, And then 851 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: I'm looking at like, all it's one thing to be. 852 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,880 Speaker 1: They try to keep us when I say us like 853 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,800 Speaker 1: black creatives as one offs, because as long as you 854 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: get one offs, you're not really getting no money. Like 855 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,360 Speaker 1: you get one million too, even if you get ten million, alright, cool. 856 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: But it's like I compared to like an artist like 857 00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: Little Wayne is a big artist, but Cash Money got 858 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: the hundred and twenty million dollars right because they have 859 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,440 Speaker 1: a whole label. You only see the labels getting that 860 00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: kind of money. So I'm like, all right, now if 861 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,320 Speaker 1: we create a label. Now, once we get the hundred 862 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 1: two hundred million, now every show gets their part, and 863 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:51,640 Speaker 1: now we go a lot further together as opposed to individuals. 864 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,359 Speaker 1: So even like working with our heart, that was one 865 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,839 Speaker 1: of the strategic moves on our behalf is like all right, man, 866 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:57,759 Speaker 1: he's a good dude. We rock with him. So let's 867 00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 1: take earn Aalisia to our heart two years and now 868 00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,799 Speaker 1: we get to leverage the relationship with them. We get 869 00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:07,320 Speaker 1: to learn though that's the most important thing. Even we 870 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: get to the revote situation too, but anything that we 871 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 1: do with corporate is usually a too elevate our brand, 872 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: but more importantly to learn. We like spies inside the building. 873 00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:19,200 Speaker 1: So like that's what Dame told us as well, like 874 00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: learning the people that are selling the ads developed relationships 875 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 1: with them, right because it's like, hey, you might be 876 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 1: able to hire them, or at the very least you 877 00:39:26,200 --> 00:39:28,160 Speaker 1: know the language that they're speaking, so now you can 878 00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:30,799 Speaker 1: get your own ad team. When you win a corporation, 879 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:33,600 Speaker 1: whether it's the record label anything, the most important thing 880 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,040 Speaker 1: is to learn because they've built a billion dollar business already, 881 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: so they know something that we don't know. So it's education, 882 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,359 Speaker 1: is real time education. So that's one of the things. 883 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 1: So like even like the contracts is like all right, 884 00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 1: this is their contract, all right, cool, this is That 885 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 1: was one of the best things Charlotte Main says out 886 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:52,600 Speaker 1: to them. He was like, use us. I want you 887 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: to use us, and I was like, I bet, and 888 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,760 Speaker 1: so like when we have to drop contracts for our shows, 889 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,640 Speaker 1: all right, let's look what is that drop the contract? 890 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,359 Speaker 1: All right? Now we go to our shows when they 891 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: have meetings or bi weekly, I don't know if what 892 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,920 Speaker 1: we got the bi weekly meanings. I listen how they 893 00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,319 Speaker 1: ask questions. I see the type of advice. I see 894 00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 1: how they try to do analytics. All right, So now 895 00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,120 Speaker 1: when I have my bi weekly meeting with YO Network, 896 00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:16,399 Speaker 1: I'm just repeating I don't have to like reinvented. That's 897 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 1: one of the things he said earlier. It was like 898 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,520 Speaker 1: in school, you were talking not to copy, right, but 899 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 1: in business you should be copying because it's already working. 900 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,720 Speaker 1: You don't have to reinvent the wheel. You can tweak 901 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: it to have like some changes for you, but you 902 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:29,399 Speaker 1: don't have to reinvented. And so if they have something 903 00:40:29,440 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 1: that's successful, let me use that. All right, We're gonna 904 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: tweak a little bit. We got this. They didn't do this, 905 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:35,799 Speaker 1: so I need to do it. But we don't have 906 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 1: to reinvent anything, right, We're just learning every relationship were 907 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,279 Speaker 1: learned so that any corporation comes in All right, here's 908 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 1: the notes that this is what we learned from. It's 909 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 1: the same thing we do with the episodes. Here, tell 910 00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: me what's your business? All right, yeah we should do this. 911 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: Let's let's go do this. I told you I want 912 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: to be taking no someone. I keep whispering this motherfucker 913 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: over here, but I'm with it. Assets over liability. I 914 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,879 Speaker 1: think that's very relatable to our culture because everyone wants 915 00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: to jewelry the cars, the houses without owning anything. That 916 00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: really makes sense. Yeah, it's so crazy because you know, 917 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,640 Speaker 1: we so merged was something that we we thought we 918 00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 1: had to do early on to like expand the brand. 919 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: So I was thinking about different stuff and I'm like, 920 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,680 Speaker 1: all right, what really sums up earn your legion a 921 00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:21,440 Speaker 1: few words? Assets or I didn't know that it was 922 00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,360 Speaker 1: a really big accounting term. I didn't even know that 923 00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,800 Speaker 1: at the song when I'm like assets over liabilities and 924 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: I'm playing around with and then I'm like assets and 925 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,600 Speaker 1: then liabilities under and then aligne. So you get the 926 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: point assets over liability and that just became like a 927 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: coach for not everybody. Some Rick Ross to this day 928 00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:48,440 Speaker 1: caused US assets over liability. I say, you guys have 929 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 1: had some big names. Ross soldier boy t I that 930 00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,480 Speaker 1: have crossed over in the space and there in the 931 00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: business space, better to learn and give advice to exactly. 932 00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 1: That's another thing too, the podcast, and I'm sure you 933 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: got noticed, it's a great networking tool. So it's like 934 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: a lot like t I and so Crazy. He's one 935 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,839 Speaker 1: of my favorite rappers of all time growing up. So 936 00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,919 Speaker 1: we only established the relationship with him through the show. 937 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 1: That's so a liabilities. Then once he came on the show, 938 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: he was like, oh yeah, Now it's like every single 939 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 1: week it's just calling like you, what's up? What's going on? 940 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:24,640 Speaker 1: What's up this metaverse? How do I get involved? Like 941 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,720 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? So it's like it's a great 942 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: networking tool to actually build relationships with people. And that's 943 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:34,239 Speaker 1: another that's another jim for anybody's out there looking to 944 00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:38,000 Speaker 1: create a content or create podcast. If you actually want 945 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: to establish a relationship with somebody, probably the best way 946 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,359 Speaker 1: to do that is to interview them because people love 947 00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 1: to talk about themselves. But then that's a door opener 948 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,520 Speaker 1: and now you got the number and you can just 949 00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,399 Speaker 1: talk to him forever, and then a lot of times 950 00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: they never get to talk about this anytime rust come 951 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: one on traditional platforms, they wan't hear about the music 952 00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: he playing out. Now we want to talk about all 953 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 1: of this. We want to talk about the promise land 954 00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,080 Speaker 1: and with the idea is like nobody's having those conversations. 955 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 1: So it was like, all right, but this becomes more 956 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,480 Speaker 1: important because, like I said, most people are not going 957 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,440 Speaker 1: to be able to rhy like girls, so even to you. 958 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:12,319 Speaker 1: But they can have businesses. They can't real estate like him, 959 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,120 Speaker 1: So like, how did you do that? Thinking on the 960 00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 1: wings stop and they go on a few wing stops 961 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,080 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Or they could have a trap music 962 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:21,000 Speaker 1: museum the ideal of the concept for it, So let's 963 00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,480 Speaker 1: talk about that. Let's get to the real estate places 964 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,239 Speaker 1: behind that, because yeah, that's obtainable. That's a god giving 965 00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,239 Speaker 1: gifts you that. And it's just so it's like Jim 966 00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,879 Speaker 1: Jim Jones. So Jim Jones comes on our podcast, right, 967 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,120 Speaker 1: and then we have them back on the on the 968 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 1: Market Mondays talk about crypto. Then we invite him. We 969 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,600 Speaker 1: had a festival in Atlanta called Investments. He actually invited himself, 970 00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 1: so he comes to talks about crypto. Then we had 971 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,000 Speaker 1: to show at the Apollo, so that so we paid 972 00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,040 Speaker 1: him to perform at the Apollo. He has a podcast 973 00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 1: and now he invites us on his podcast. His managers 974 00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:54,480 Speaker 1: just hit me, they got an opportunity in dr they 975 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,799 Speaker 1: want us to come out exactly. So that's like a 976 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 1: lot of times people they on to network with somebody 977 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,480 Speaker 1: from a selfish standpoint, it's like what can you do 978 00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,080 Speaker 1: for me? That's not really networking as charity, and it's 979 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,040 Speaker 1: only so much charity that you can do. But when 980 00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,160 Speaker 1: you can actually give an opportunity to somebody, when you can, 981 00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:13,520 Speaker 1: now it's the Lord Respirocity. They're going to actually look 982 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 1: out for you because you've done something for them. Now 983 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: that's a real relationship. That's one hand washed up even this, 984 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: Like we emailed I think Gina and July because we're like, yeah, 985 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,320 Speaker 1: we want to get those guys to come to investments. 986 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,759 Speaker 1: When the opportunity came, she was like, wait, I got 987 00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 1: these guys. I'm thinking of your leaders. I still have 988 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 1: the email she emailed us like, hey, you guys want 989 00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,000 Speaker 1: to come to I'm like, we come to college. You 990 00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 1: know from from that email email from trying to get you, Yeah, 991 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,520 Speaker 1: were trying to get you to come to investments, the schedules, schedule, 992 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:47,000 Speaker 1: but she's ship. She remembered us, and that led to 993 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,920 Speaker 1: this what I'm saying just about relationships. Yeah, because I 994 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:53,839 Speaker 1: saw you had another like man with you guys for real, 995 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,319 Speaker 1: like my homeboy Red Young, who should have been here, 996 00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:02,120 Speaker 1: but he's yeah, yeah, that virus and he's like, yeah, 997 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,759 Speaker 1: you gotta check these dudes in the country. At one point, right, 998 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,160 Speaker 1: it was nice they called them NBA, right yeah, yeah, yeah, 999 00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 1: shout out right. Anything you guys can share with us 1000 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:11,840 Speaker 1: that you're working, I mean, you've already told us a 1001 00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:13,839 Speaker 1: lot of ships, you're doing. Anything you're working on big 1002 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,680 Speaker 1: that you can share, Yeah, for sure. I feel like 1003 00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 1: this year is gonna be God willing. COVID is so 1004 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 1: up and down. Hopefully we can get back and doing 1005 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:24,560 Speaker 1: more lot of events. So that's something that's really big 1006 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:26,279 Speaker 1: for us. So like invest Fest was the idea that 1007 00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:29,239 Speaker 1: we had where it was like, all we look at Coachella, 1008 00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,120 Speaker 1: we look at me in America and there's there's a 1009 00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:35,680 Speaker 1: bunch of different music festivals, but there was no financial 1010 00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 1: literacy festival. So it's like, all right, what if we 1011 00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:40,640 Speaker 1: can buy all of the aspects that we already love, 1012 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:43,640 Speaker 1: which is culture and music, fashion, sports, all of that 1013 00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:46,040 Speaker 1: stuff and make a festival. And then I look at 1014 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,080 Speaker 1: like Essence Fests. I went to Essence Fests one year 1015 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,759 Speaker 1: in New Orleans, and I loved how they had like 1016 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,120 Speaker 1: the all of vendors and all of that. So last 1017 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,160 Speaker 1: year we decided to do invest Fest. So we had 1018 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:58,520 Speaker 1: two hundred small business vendors and then we had two 1019 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 1: days of just panel discussion everything from crypto to real 1020 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,799 Speaker 1: estate to all that stuff. Then we had musical performances 1021 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,439 Speaker 1: so we had like Fab performed, we had Jacket as, 1022 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,720 Speaker 1: we had Neo. So it was like the first time 1023 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,839 Speaker 1: where it was actually a vibe you know what I say, 1024 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,400 Speaker 1: business business. Yeah, the food trucks outside, so that was 1025 00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 1: that was key. It was like, look, we want to 1026 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 1: support black businesses. Let's have some food trucks come and 1027 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 1: pulls up outside, and now we don't have to go 1028 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 1: anywhere at a convention. Now we got business being generated. 1029 00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,920 Speaker 1: That's really good economics, right Yeah, So I got to 1030 00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,800 Speaker 1: say scaling that hopefully two times bigger this year. So 1031 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,680 Speaker 1: we're getting ready for that. When you look in days, 1032 00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:37,239 Speaker 1: let us know we're coming out for sure. All right, 1033 00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,560 Speaker 1: we got it. August fifth, six and seven. We'll let 1034 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:45,360 Speaker 1: you I'm gonna let you know that. Oh yeah, we're 1035 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,880 Speaker 1: gonna land all the time. So that, um, the podcast 1036 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 1: network probably looked to add like two more shows to that. 1037 00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,719 Speaker 1: So we're working with U t A now. Shout out 1038 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 1: to U t A. So you know, definitely want to 1039 00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,880 Speaker 1: get more into TV Hollywood stuff like that. You know, 1040 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,880 Speaker 1: so you know, probably work on a book. Yeah, but 1041 00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,880 Speaker 1: that that probably happened to do some content, not just 1042 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:09,680 Speaker 1: on on the audio side, but on the visual side 1043 00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 1: as well, because that's again something that we have to 1044 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 1: teach ourselves, Like when I walked in and said, what 1045 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:14,680 Speaker 1: cameras you are using? Because I want to know what 1046 00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,400 Speaker 1: you're like, I want to see like oh kay, that's 1047 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: the lens alright, what we should that's the lighting they use. 1048 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,520 Speaker 1: Okay again I'm walking in, I'm learning, I'm reserving. So 1049 00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,840 Speaker 1: that international traveling, like we said we went to Nigeria, 1050 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,279 Speaker 1: well first said we went to Jamaica, so my whole 1051 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,440 Speaker 1: family should making so that was huge. We went to Legos, Nigeria, 1052 00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:34,240 Speaker 1: um and we plan on going back to Legos, Nigeria 1053 00:47:34,280 --> 00:47:37,000 Speaker 1: for a huge episode. We went to Kyro, Egypt, Lux 1054 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,240 Speaker 1: or Egypt. We plan on going to London in the 1055 00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,560 Speaker 1: very near future, just because a lot of times you 1056 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 1: hear people and you watch people, but you never actually 1057 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 1: get to see them in person, and so we don't 1058 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,080 Speaker 1: see anybody doing that. And I said, like, if, like 1059 00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 1: you said, a lot of times, people will follow the 1060 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:52,719 Speaker 1: things that we're doing. And so my thing is like, 1061 00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,640 Speaker 1: if they're gonna follow something, let's follow this. Let's go 1062 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,080 Speaker 1: into national let your presence be known, let your presence 1063 00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,399 Speaker 1: be seen and felt in places that nobody he's going, 1064 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,759 Speaker 1: like how many people are going, and it's and it's untapped, 1065 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,280 Speaker 1: Like you gotta realized this. I think there's like sixty 1066 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,640 Speaker 1: or forty million black people in America, but there's two 1067 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,080 Speaker 1: hundred million black people in Nigeria. So when we go 1068 00:48:15,120 --> 00:48:17,879 Speaker 1: to Nigeria, they love in the content even though it's 1069 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:21,480 Speaker 1: not really directly related to what they have because they 1070 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:24,239 Speaker 1: don't have anything. So now when we go out there, 1071 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:28,279 Speaker 1: it's like we're speaking to a whole country, like two 1072 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 1: d million people, you know what I'm saying, And it's 1073 00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,840 Speaker 1: and it's the barriers of meeting people are are different, 1074 00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:38,239 Speaker 1: like we meet. We interviewed David Though, who his father 1075 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 1: is a billionaire and his uncle actually happens to be 1076 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,319 Speaker 1: the richest black person in the world. At legal Dan 1077 00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,840 Speaker 1: Goaltis were fourteen billion dollars. You know, I didn't know 1078 00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:53,600 Speaker 1: his family's you know what I mean, Yeah, his father 1079 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,360 Speaker 1: is a billionaire bro. So it's like and he's like, 1080 00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:57,759 Speaker 1: we're in an interview. He's like, oh, you wanta me 1081 00:48:57,840 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 1: my uncle I introduced you. He's just he's not in 1082 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,799 Speaker 1: an you right now, but you'll come back. Wh can't 1083 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:05,359 Speaker 1: you do? Think about that? My first financial literacy lesson 1084 00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,320 Speaker 1: was about his uncle and I'm like, wait, what you 1085 00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:09,719 Speaker 1: said we can meet him. He's like, yeah, I have 1086 00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:14,560 Speaker 1: to play sent for you. I'm like, what this is different? Man. 1087 00:49:14,760 --> 00:49:16,920 Speaker 1: Ten years prior to that moment, I had wrote a 1088 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 1: lesson about him. It was based on like a lot 1089 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 1: of people we see on this wall. Was like, here 1090 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 1: are entertainers and athletes, and like that was one side 1091 00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,080 Speaker 1: of the paper and the kids had to guess the 1092 00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 1: names and they knew everybody. And then I flipped the 1093 00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,040 Speaker 1: paper on the other side and it was the wealthiest 1094 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:34,000 Speaker 1: black people on the planet and they do none because 1095 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: they have nothing to do with entertainment. Like then, God 1096 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:40,200 Speaker 1: he comes from sugar, he comes from cement, right, he 1097 00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:44,080 Speaker 1: comes like average cultural things. Right. Even David's pops comes 1098 00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 1: from steal and power plants. Like these are actual businesses 1099 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,839 Speaker 1: that they're running and have become billionaires. No clue right now? 1100 00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:52,640 Speaker 1: If I put his picture, half the room went no, 1101 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:54,719 Speaker 1: he look, what do you look like? Wealthiest black man 1102 00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:56,600 Speaker 1: on the planet? Though? You what I'm saying like this 1103 00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 1: is financial literacy. Can y'all have finally my question? Explain 1104 00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:16,440 Speaker 1: crypto on the boom? Crypto? Um, yeah, crypto. You know, 1105 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:18,759 Speaker 1: Crypto something that we we've been invested in since I've 1106 00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,239 Speaker 1: been waiting, been sitting over here, just like, okay, where 1107 00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,440 Speaker 1: can we get to the Yeah we first got in crypto. 1108 00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:30,240 Speaker 1: Seen to see his growth since then two now is amazing, 1109 00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 1: you know big. I'll start with bitcoin because that's the 1110 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,719 Speaker 1: most popular one that people know the most. The word cryptocurrency, 1111 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,520 Speaker 1: the currency parts a little misleading, I think, and that's 1112 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:43,480 Speaker 1: what those people off because it's not really currency as 1113 00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 1: we know it. Because currency is like, all right, I 1114 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,840 Speaker 1: have a dollar, I'm gonna give you a dollar tomorrow 1115 00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,319 Speaker 1: is still gonna be worth a dollar, right, I can't 1116 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,600 Speaker 1: give you a dollar and then tomorrow's worth a dollar 1117 00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 1: fifty or fifty cents. I can't get my hair cut 1118 00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,160 Speaker 1: like that, like what I'm saying. Like it's not so 1119 00:50:57,160 --> 00:50:59,200 Speaker 1: they have like what's called stable coins, but we'll talk 1120 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,680 Speaker 1: about that later on if you want. But bitcoin is 1121 00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: more of a store value. It's more like digital goal 1122 00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 1: like what I'm saying, where it's like people are hoarding 1123 00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,560 Speaker 1: bitcoin because they think that the value is going to 1124 00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 1: go up, because the value has going up, right, So 1125 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:14,920 Speaker 1: now it's a thing where it's like our inflation is 1126 00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: out of all time high. So being that inflation is 1127 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,839 Speaker 1: so high, physical currency actually gets devalued, right, So it's 1128 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 1: like the more money that we print the week of 1129 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 1: the dollar gets like they said, last year of all 1130 00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:31,759 Speaker 1: currency that was ever created was created last year. So 1131 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:33,960 Speaker 1: the federal government is putting so much money in the 1132 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,239 Speaker 1: market that is devaluing the currency all over the world. Though. 1133 00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 1: So now it's like, all right, bitcoin is an opportunity 1134 00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:45,680 Speaker 1: to actually because there's a limited amount, right, So it's 1135 00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,359 Speaker 1: like anything, it's it's supply and demand. So there's only 1136 00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:51,440 Speaker 1: eighteen million eventually going to be it's called circulate and supply, 1137 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,920 Speaker 1: so only this amount would be in existence, so I 1138 00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:56,960 Speaker 1: think it's like eighteen point nine millions. Yeah, so so 1139 00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,680 Speaker 1: now it's creates scarcity, so which has made the price 1140 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,719 Speaker 1: go up over the course of time. And then there's 1141 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:04,640 Speaker 1: a lot of other values as well as far as 1142 00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:06,879 Speaker 1: you know, being able to transfer it and all over 1143 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 1: the world to speed things that nature. But now what's 1144 00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 1: happened is that from bitcoin is like thousands of different cryptocurrencies, right, 1145 00:52:13,320 --> 00:52:15,680 Speaker 1: so you have like ethereum, and they all move on 1146 00:52:15,680 --> 00:52:19,600 Speaker 1: the blockchain, so like there's records of everything, they move 1147 00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 1: a lot quicker. Because we were saying a couple of 1148 00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:24,080 Speaker 1: years ago, it was like the quickest way, what's the 1149 00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 1: fastest way to get a million dollars from New York 1150 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:29,799 Speaker 1: to London? If I had to ask you right now, 1151 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,399 Speaker 1: like what was to be the fastest way to get 1152 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:35,080 Speaker 1: a million dollars from New York to London? With you exactly? 1153 00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,799 Speaker 1: That's crazy, right, that's crazy if you think about it. 1154 00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,719 Speaker 1: We're in two But then they won't let you take 1155 00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,439 Speaker 1: it on the plane. Like know what I'm saying. If 1156 00:52:43,440 --> 00:52:46,160 Speaker 1: you wire it, it's gonna take like at least a day, 1157 00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:49,520 Speaker 1: probably a couple of days, right Friday to three days 1158 00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:52,239 Speaker 1: can't get it to Monday exactly exactly on the bank 1159 00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:55,160 Speaker 1: at seven to ten exactly. So now it's like you got, 1160 00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,759 Speaker 1: you know, do with x RP or one of these 1161 00:52:58,040 --> 00:52:59,640 Speaker 1: these coins that's made for that, and you can do 1162 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:03,799 Speaker 1: with them minutes. So the cryptocurrency space is something that 1163 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:08,040 Speaker 1: I think is gonna just continue to go. And now 1164 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,680 Speaker 1: it's being tied in with so many other different things. 1165 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,680 Speaker 1: So now you've got the metaverse. Right now, you've got 1166 00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,200 Speaker 1: n f t S and it's created a whole ecosystem 1167 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 1: where it's like a n f t S is being 1168 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:20,520 Speaker 1: built on block chains and most of them are being 1169 00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,120 Speaker 1: built on ethery and or Slana, which is another cryptocurrency. 1170 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,279 Speaker 1: You have to buy n f t S with cryptocurrency, right, 1171 00:53:26,520 --> 00:53:27,719 Speaker 1: And I think that that's how it's gonna be in 1172 00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:30,120 Speaker 1: the metaverse also, where it's like if you want to 1173 00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,239 Speaker 1: buy something in the metaverse, you're probably gonna have to 1174 00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:35,319 Speaker 1: buy it with Like even if you buy a real estate, 1175 00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:36,800 Speaker 1: now in the metaverse, we're looking at real estate. In 1176 00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:38,280 Speaker 1: the metaverse, you buy a real estate in the metaverse, 1177 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:43,680 Speaker 1: you have to buy a cryptocurrency. So it's it's don't yeah, yeah, 1178 00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,480 Speaker 1: you've been trained already. No, I haven't. Here's why, here's 1179 00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:49,600 Speaker 1: why you have. You got kids, Yeah, they play rodbucks. Yeah, 1180 00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:53,200 Speaker 1: you've been trained for the metaverse, for the metaverse, because 1181 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 1: when your kids ask you for money, it's not not sense. Right, 1182 00:53:56,640 --> 00:54:00,600 Speaker 1: were tearing my car down? Robucks? You already and trade right, 1183 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 1: roadblocks is the game, but Roadbucks is the currency, right, 1184 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:08,480 Speaker 1: And so they're like, yo, dad, and what do they do? 1185 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,319 Speaker 1: They change it once you buy it. It's eighty roadblocks, right, 1186 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:14,600 Speaker 1: my car get run up to So you've already been strained. 1187 00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,719 Speaker 1: So like your kids are already living in the But 1188 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,960 Speaker 1: but you know how I stay was trained already through Hollywood. 1189 00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:22,240 Speaker 1: That's why it's so crazy. Like, you know, I watched 1190 00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 1: The Matrix and everybody disappointed with the Matrix. But you 1191 00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,960 Speaker 1: gotta understand. But you gotta understand the Matrix, the new 1192 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,960 Speaker 1: Matrix that was already done fifteen years ago. They're just 1193 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,319 Speaker 1: saying like they're showing us that, like this is all 1194 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:39,320 Speaker 1: a video game metaverse. So that was the idea of 1195 00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,040 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago. So that was like it's just bringing 1196 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:44,440 Speaker 1: in full circle where it's like now people are actually 1197 00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:47,439 Speaker 1: talking about the metaporth anything that's actually being talked about 1198 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:49,360 Speaker 1: what was already thought about. So that's why it's like 1199 00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 1: when you see these movies about going to Mars, it's 1200 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,919 Speaker 1: fantasy is sci fi until Elon must decides he wants 1201 00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:58,360 Speaker 1: to colonize marks like like, don't look up you see 1202 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 1: it's kind of me based off a true story too. 1203 00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:04,799 Speaker 1: So that's the part. I'm like this real, But I'm like, yo, 1204 00:55:05,400 --> 00:55:08,080 Speaker 1: somebody's having this vision. Like we've been We grew up 1205 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:10,120 Speaker 1: on video games, right, I probably played Grand Death Photo. 1206 00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,840 Speaker 1: What's the difference you were able to do things in 1207 00:55:12,880 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 1: real time? Right? You gotta call you drove you to 1208 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,640 Speaker 1: the strip club if you want. I'm saying, go on 1209 00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 1: a mission, if you want, go to the beach, if 1210 00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:23,239 Speaker 1: you want. All those things. You've been trained. So now 1211 00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:26,360 Speaker 1: when it's coming, and now there's actually corporations inside of it. 1212 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:29,480 Speaker 1: So now when Gucci says we're putting our clothes inside 1213 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,279 Speaker 1: of Roadbucks, your kids like, I need to it's it's 1214 00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,600 Speaker 1: only four non not. I gotta get that sweater because 1215 00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,879 Speaker 1: my avatar needs look better than his. Yeah, you're gonna 1216 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 1: do it, and I want to give my homegirl one 1217 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:41,360 Speaker 1: to Yeah exactly. We gotta be fresh we're about to 1218 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,239 Speaker 1: go to this party that they have in the in 1219 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:47,360 Speaker 1: the world that but that's that's real estate, right So 1220 00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,719 Speaker 1: now somebody see stoop put landing there, they're like, what 1221 00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:51,920 Speaker 1: if Snoop got land I need to be next to 1222 00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,120 Speaker 1: because they people gonna come to his'n they're gonna see 1223 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:00,880 Speaker 1: my creer right next to it by the fault. They 1224 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:02,320 Speaker 1: all can't fit in there. They're gonna come in my 1225 00:56:02,360 --> 00:56:04,759 Speaker 1: house and they're gonna and when they come, they're gonna 1226 00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:06,839 Speaker 1: see that I got something I got like an art 1227 00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:10,320 Speaker 1: guy until they see my ship. That's what he's thinking. 1228 00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,359 Speaker 1: That's what you That's what I'm saying, Like that should 1229 00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,479 Speaker 1: be the thing, Like, Yo, he's there with right where 1230 00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna be. Yeah, but I didn't know nothing about 1231 00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,080 Speaker 1: An asked our team like three weeks ago, when could 1232 00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:19,880 Speaker 1: we do a show in the metaverse. I was just talking, 1233 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,280 Speaker 1: but like that's where it's at. This could be happening 1234 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,279 Speaker 1: right now and right you see what I'm saying, and 1235 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 1: instead of having twenty people in here, it could be 1236 00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:31,160 Speaker 1: talking about n f T. Like I just don't understand 1237 00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:33,920 Speaker 1: why people want to get like a monkey with the 1238 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,840 Speaker 1: hat on. I just don't I think shout to my 1239 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:41,360 Speaker 1: pro nineteen keys. He actually I just started pot him smart. No, no, no, 1240 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,520 Speaker 1: but yeah, he gave the best explanation of n f 1241 00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:45,759 Speaker 1: T s that I've heard in a while. So I 1242 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,319 Speaker 1: want to reference what he said. And he said, it's like, 1243 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 1: all right, n f T is not fungible talking right, 1244 00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,160 Speaker 1: So it's like fungibility is something that you can be, 1245 00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:56,960 Speaker 1: you can duplicate. It's not unique. So like a dollar 1246 00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:00,839 Speaker 1: bill is fungible. There's nothing special about it, right, It's 1247 00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 1: like outside of the serial code, but you don't care. 1248 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,319 Speaker 1: Like if I give you a dollar and I rip 1249 00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:06,839 Speaker 1: it up and then he gives you a dollar, you're 1250 00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:09,239 Speaker 1: not gonna be tripping. It's still a dollar, right. But 1251 00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:12,760 Speaker 1: if it's a dollar and it's signed by Muhammad Ali, 1252 00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:15,680 Speaker 1: I rip it up and he gives you a dollar, 1253 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 1: that's a difference. It's not the same, right because now 1254 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,440 Speaker 1: it becomes nice non fungible. So now it's like if 1255 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:22,760 Speaker 1: you take a picture that and you put it on 1256 00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,520 Speaker 1: the blockchain, right, and now you own that, but it's 1257 00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:28,160 Speaker 1: in a digital on a digital wallet, so now you 1258 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:33,960 Speaker 1: can verify like this is authentic, this is Muhammed Ali's signature. 1259 00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:38,440 Speaker 1: Why because it has this address, the blockchain is perfect, 1260 00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:41,880 Speaker 1: it doesn't have any you know, corruption in it as 1261 00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 1: of right now. So now it's like, okay, this is 1262 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,880 Speaker 1: something that is unique. And now what they're doing is 1263 00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,160 Speaker 1: like all right, you talk about the art right where 1264 00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,040 Speaker 1: it's like you see these board apes selling for like 1265 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,120 Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars, so it's like, all right. The 1266 00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:55,880 Speaker 1: number one question is like, all right, if I buy 1267 00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 1: a board outside of putting it on my avatar on Instagram, 1268 00:57:59,240 --> 00:58:01,760 Speaker 1: where am I gonna this? Samsung? Just enough, they're coming 1269 00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:03,960 Speaker 1: out with the n f T TV, so now you're 1270 00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,440 Speaker 1: gonna actually be able to display by n f T s. 1271 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 1: So now it's like it's no difference when you go 1272 00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:11,520 Speaker 1: to somebody's house and they got a wall hole or 1273 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,360 Speaker 1: they got you know, a dope painting that costs so 1274 00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,360 Speaker 1: much money yep. So now you can have a TV 1275 00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:20,320 Speaker 1: showing the n f T and it's like that. But 1276 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,720 Speaker 1: then there's other uses of it like nas shout out 1277 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:24,480 Speaker 1: to him he just did something that was really dope, 1278 00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,320 Speaker 1: where he has an n f T, but the owners 1279 00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:29,880 Speaker 1: of the n f T get royalty rights to two 1280 00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,560 Speaker 1: of his songs and like Meek Mills putting out a 1281 00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:34,480 Speaker 1: mixtape and it's gonna be an n f T, but 1282 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 1: you gotta have ethereum to buy it. So this son 1283 00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,200 Speaker 1: something like that too. Oh yeah, yeah. So there's so 1284 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:43,560 Speaker 1: many different use cases for the n f T space. 1285 00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:45,360 Speaker 1: I think a lot of n f T projects are 1286 00:58:45,400 --> 00:58:47,640 Speaker 1: still going to probably fail, and there's still a lot 1287 00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:51,920 Speaker 1: that like just nonsense. But that's any new emerging industry, right. 1288 00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,920 Speaker 1: It's like cryptocurrency and cryptocurrency, Like a couple of years ago, 1289 00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,240 Speaker 1: a lot of the coins fell apart, but that doesn't 1290 00:58:57,280 --> 00:59:01,600 Speaker 1: mean that cryptocurrency isn't legitimate. It's is that whenever something hot, 1291 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,320 Speaker 1: everybody just wants to rush to it, and whenever somebody 1292 00:59:04,360 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 1: everythingybody rushed to it, then they're gonna just doing a 1293 00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:08,840 Speaker 1: bunch of nonsense and stuff that doesn't make any sense. 1294 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:11,439 Speaker 1: But in between the stuff that doesn't make any sense, 1295 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:15,880 Speaker 1: it's just stupid, idiotic nonsense, there are actually legitimate use cases. 1296 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:20,760 Speaker 1: Like Nike counterfeit shoes is huge, right, Like, so now 1297 00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:22,920 Speaker 1: Nike is saying that they're gonna put they're gonna attach 1298 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,000 Speaker 1: n f T s to every single shoe. So now 1299 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:29,120 Speaker 1: you can verify that your shoe is one authentic it's 1300 00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,560 Speaker 1: not a knock off.

Just to 1310 00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,360 Speaker 1: make it break it down a little more like an 1311 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,560 Speaker 1: n f T. Right, So, like imagine like you took 1312 00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:56,800 Speaker 1: the picture of this this this space right here, and 1313 00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:58,440 Speaker 1: people got to bid on it. Or this was an 1314 00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:00,200 Speaker 1: art piece, right and people got the bid. What the 1315 01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:03,400 Speaker 1: experience was? Get to be on the smoke once a year. Well, 1316 01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:04,840 Speaker 1: let's do it for just one year. We get to 1317 01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 1: be on the smoke for all the smoke for a year. 1318 01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,080 Speaker 1: We get to teach you how to do an actual podcast. Right, 1319 01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,120 Speaker 1: you get to come to a lot of tapings for 1320 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:13,760 Speaker 1: the year. Right that all that that would be the 1321 01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,479 Speaker 1: live table would be big. That would be big because 1322 01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:19,320 Speaker 1: it's like Gary fe did that and he made ninety 1323 01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:21,760 Speaker 1: million dollars and like he did different tiers, So he 1324 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,000 Speaker 1: did different tiers, right, So like one of the tears 1325 01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,280 Speaker 1: is like he'll appear on your podcast for two years. 1326 01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,680 Speaker 1: So you guys are bringing on Allen Iverson only different. 1327 01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:31,840 Speaker 1: So that tier would be like a top level tier 1328 01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:33,320 Speaker 1: where like you could just be a fly in the room. 1329 01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:35,840 Speaker 1: People will pay a hundred thousand dollars just to just 1330 01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,240 Speaker 1: to be in the room with Allen Iverson. Can you 1331 01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:41,240 Speaker 1: do an n F T of a championship brain? Yeah, 1332 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,760 Speaker 1: But imagine if you had like the guests was Labron 1333 01:00:44,840 --> 01:00:47,720 Speaker 1: and now that was what they wanted. How much you 1334 01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:50,080 Speaker 1: think that ticket is gonna be? And there's the thing 1335 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,560 Speaker 1: like if somebody bought it at this price and you 1336 01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:54,560 Speaker 1: put an expiration date like this is the day of 1337 01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 1: the taping, all the way up to that day, like 1338 01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,200 Speaker 1: maybe a week before, you could keep it there. But 1339 01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,200 Speaker 1: like somebody buys it, right and they decided, know what 1340 01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna sell it, you get a commission on it 1341 01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,080 Speaker 1: because you put a commission on the actual price. So 1342 01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:06,520 Speaker 1: like if it's a temperate secret. Every time that experience 1343 01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,000 Speaker 1: gets sold, like you're getting paid. So after you do 1344 01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:10,960 Speaker 1: it for one year, all right, well let's do that 1345 01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,160 Speaker 1: for four episodes next year. You see what I'm saying, 1346 01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:15,440 Speaker 1: and then you just keep going with it. Or it's 1347 01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:19,880 Speaker 1: like then then inside of the metaverse, you create this studio, right, 1348 01:01:19,920 --> 01:01:21,240 Speaker 1: and then you have a bunch of people, but on 1349 01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:22,920 Speaker 1: the bottom floor you get some of the n F 1350 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:24,520 Speaker 1: T s that you've had. Right, so now you've got 1351 01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,280 Speaker 1: artwork that you've bought, and people like when they walk in, 1352 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 1: they can been on your artwork, like you decide today, 1353 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:33,880 Speaker 1: I'm just a bunch of dope, exact. Or it's like 1354 01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:35,440 Speaker 1: let's say trading cards, and it's like you do like 1355 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,680 Speaker 1: our Harring. Everybody's coming to show our Harrington trading card, 1356 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,240 Speaker 1: and then that trading card with that they get to 1357 01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,360 Speaker 1: play one on one without Harrington since somebody is gonna 1358 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,919 Speaker 1: pay three just cause like you know what I'm saying. 1359 01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,720 Speaker 1: Then it's like, all right, you split it without and 1360 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,920 Speaker 1: then you you both win, and then it's like you 1361 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 1: can transfer that to like, Okay, next year it's gonna 1362 01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:57,920 Speaker 1: be a three on three game, right, and now a 1363 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:00,320 Speaker 1: three on three game can actually be even more money. 1364 01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:02,360 Speaker 1: And then, like he said, the beautiful thing about the 1365 01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:04,840 Speaker 1: n f T is that it lasts forever, but every 1366 01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:06,840 Speaker 1: time it is resold, you get a commission on it. 1367 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:11,080 Speaker 1: So like with the sports, the opportunities is limitless with sports, 1368 01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:12,560 Speaker 1: Like what you guys could be doing with the n 1369 01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:14,760 Speaker 1: f T s And don't think about it like it's 1370 01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:18,360 Speaker 1: just a picture of something. I think the real value 1371 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 1: is like attaching it to something physical, whether it's in 1372 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,960 Speaker 1: the show, experienced something like that, and you'd be surprised 1373 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:27,480 Speaker 1: how much people will pay for that type of experience 1374 01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:30,200 Speaker 1: that like this shirt right here. So like imagine like 1375 01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,440 Speaker 1: you have the store inside of your real estate in 1376 01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,120 Speaker 1: the metaverse, right and you sell that for You're not 1377 01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:38,160 Speaker 1: saying it's the same thing that your kids just did 1378 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:40,640 Speaker 1: with you. They got you for the roadbucks, but now 1379 01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:42,920 Speaker 1: now we get all the smoke on the merch And 1380 01:02:42,920 --> 01:02:45,160 Speaker 1: I was like, yo, I was just they got these 1381 01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,360 Speaker 1: one Now you're not sense right now, now you're not sense. 1382 01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:49,600 Speaker 1: It adds up when you got sixty people and you 1383 01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:53,720 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and what were you doing? You're 1384 01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:56,640 Speaker 1: probably just chilling or debate. So I'm giving out too 1385 01:02:56,640 --> 01:03:02,080 Speaker 1: many ideas. I love it.

That's not easy to do. 1422 01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,520 Speaker 1: Like you gotta think about it, though, the dudes they 1423 01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:04,960 Speaker 1: paid and the stuff they went through, they set it 1424 01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 1: up for him to be able to do that, you 1425 01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:09,360 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They because actually actually know like 1426 01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,800 Speaker 1: the deals Jordan had and all that, Like if he 1427 01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:14,240 Speaker 1: wasn't doing what he did, they wouldn't got the hunting 1428 01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:16,240 Speaker 1: million dollar contracts and all that, you know what I'm saying, 1429 01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:18,720 Speaker 1: And and and the time and of everything at the time, 1430 01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:20,200 Speaker 1: it had a lot to do with it, you know 1431 01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:21,440 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, The way it was set up for 1432 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:23,240 Speaker 1: Bron coming out of high school and then it was 1433 01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,520 Speaker 1: set up on perfect. But the biggest thing that I 1434 01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:27,520 Speaker 1: like to touch on every time we talked about Bron's 1435 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,800 Speaker 1: what what he did for for his boys. Like it's 1436 01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,680 Speaker 1: a million people and I'm guilty of it, trying to 1437 01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:35,840 Speaker 1: bring your whole boys along and put him in position 1438 01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:37,919 Speaker 1: and they don't buy in. They want you to hand 1439 01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:39,960 Speaker 1: them stuff. But through his did he the only one 1440 01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:42,080 Speaker 1: I know did it right with his boys, brought him 1441 01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:43,440 Speaker 1: up and put him in position, and I think they 1442 01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,000 Speaker 1: was hungry as well. So I salute him for that too. Yeah, 1443 01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:49,080 Speaker 1: I think that's the difference, Like with Jordan and Magic, 1444 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,840 Speaker 1: the incredible business man. You see that I don't know 1445 01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:55,200 Speaker 1: who his partner is, Like I hear Reggie's that had 1446 01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,040 Speaker 1: of Jordan, but I've never I didn't see him when 1447 01:05:58,040 --> 01:05:59,760 Speaker 1: he was playing with the bulls. We know who rich 1448 01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:04,880 Speaker 1: both Carter and they've become moguls on their own. You 1449 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:07,000 Speaker 1: see what I'm saying, Like, that's completely different.
