We always try to up at the night, 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:23.480 take it to the next level. If you saw what 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.840 we did with investmentst that was obviously, you know, a 0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:29.280 monumental situation. Then our bosle. So yeah, we want to 0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:30.360 continue in that past. 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.640 What's up, my brother, Man, salute to the God body. Man, 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:34.319 how you feeling. 0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:38.399 I can't complain, man, I feel good. How you feeling? Man? 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.520 I feel amazing. Man. Just was in here studying. Man, 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:44.160 it's a lot going on. So you know there's them 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.319 times I gotta go deep in. I gotta go study 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:47.120 one hundred percent. 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:53.320 Yeah, man, that's it man, I told people. Man, and 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.240 we was having an We always talk of Lone. We 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.520 always have like, you know, one thing about nineteen Keys Man, 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:06.600 he could talk. Man, good conversations, always good conversations whenever 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.400 we talk. But I feel like, you know, some of 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.519 the time private conversations need to actually be kept into 0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:16.120 public and that's something that you know can be you. 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.000 So I don't know how you want to start this, 0:02:19.120 --> 0:02:23.000 but you know, I labeled it the culture because I 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:29.000 feel like there's a lot to actually unpack and talk about. So, yeah, 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.640 I want to kick this off, brother, man. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:32.639 I want to. 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.120 I was thinking kind of, you know, we addressed in 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.480 the culture, man, and as we address the culture, were 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:43.440 addressing two things problems and solutions. You understand me, And 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:47.239 we kind of got to go categorical on number one. 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.120 What is our biggest problems? What are some of the 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.399 things stopping us from solving those problems? 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.040 Understand me? And what are those solutions? 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:55.639 Right? 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.440 And what should we be paying attention to? Right? 0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:02.000 Like, and let me start backwards, because let's start where 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.640 attention is right now, right? We know, you know, for 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.040 the last few years, attention has been going in somewhere 0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:09.920 to the right direction. 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.840 But we face a uphill battle. 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:13.239 Right. 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:18.000 We have this what's being deemed as a financial literacy movement, 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.120 but it's much bigger than that, right, it's a complete 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:24.840 shift in curture and consciousness. Understand me, and a different 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:28.080 type of consciousness because we've always had a level of 0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:32.640 consciousness in our community. But that even that had to 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.520 evolve to a point where we had to learn how 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.160 to execute right and then we had to learn how 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:41.320 do we take this to become more efficient? Whereas for years, 0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.160 we've been effective at the things that we've done, you 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.200 understand me. And so now as we see attention given 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.840 to a platform such as earn your Leisure Right, such 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:54.040 as myself and some of our peers that we know 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:57.760 that's within the same movement, we can salute and say, yes, 0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:02.440 we're finally starting to see some momentum and progress. But 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:04.600 if we being honest with ourselves, we have to take 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.440 a look back and say, you know what the reality 0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.280 of it is is that can the progress we may 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:16.240 ever outpace the problems that we have? Right? And that's 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:18.440 the formula that we got to look at now, is 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:20.680 that how do we get it to a point where 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:24.640 the progress is outpacing the problems? Understand me? Because as 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:26.839 long as there's new problems being created on top of 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.400 the old problems, and then there's people that's stopping us 0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:32.520 from solving it, we can never actually get to that point. 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:33.520 And we need the. 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:38.520 Culture to be steadfast, focused and pay attention right and 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.920 execute in order for us to be able to get there. 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.680 And we need all hands on deck, understand me, like 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:48.560 we are in deep, very vital times that we must 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.240 it's one hundred percent. We must understand how serious the 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:55.400 times are right now in order for us to embrace 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.400 what's going on and help us excel what's happening. 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.159 Yeah, I agree with you, and I feel like, you know, 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:06.680 I put on Twitter yesterday, I'm like, we haven't gotten 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.280 through to them yet, and I just I feel like that, 0:05:09.320 --> 0:05:10.479 and a lot of people is like, what do you 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:12.120 mean elaborate And I feel like, you know, it's a 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.440 little frustrated sometimes because it's like, like you said, no 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:19.800 matter how much progress you make, your constant minded that 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:26.919 it really there's no progress that's actually made. Like every 0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:30.240 one step that we take forward, there's like ten steps 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:34.880 that's taken. And it can be it can become frustrating. 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.480 I mean, a you look at the statistics that's already 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.480 within yourself, as far as the wealth gap. You look 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:46.119 at a city like Boston, Massachusetts, where the average black 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:52.279 wealth is eight dollars compared to one hundred and like 0:05:52.400 --> 0:05:58.520 ten dollars, So that's already discouraging within itself. But look 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:02.680 at the crime rates cities like New York, LA, Chicago 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.760 going crazy right now. And then you look at you know, 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:13.159 other cultural influencers that still having fully under they don't understand, 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.800 like fully understand what's going on, and they're not really 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:22.640 helping the situation that move the needle. So it's a 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.280 it's all of these things that's in a blender, and 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:31.200 it's like David where it's like we can celebrate a 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.880 certain level of success, like we can celebrate Onalisia being 0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:42.040 followers on instagramm of things that's not really a lot, right, 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.400 you know what I'm saying. In the grand scheme, it's 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.800 not really a lot like it should. It could be 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:50.560 ten million, twenty million. So these are the things where 0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:55.760 it's like people are still more interested in negativity, still 0:06:55.760 --> 0:07:02.800 more interested in nonsense, still bickering, fighting, lies, rumors, and 0:07:02.839 --> 0:07:07.400 it's like at some point you either accept the truth 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:10.680 or I don't really know what to tell you, Like, 0:07:10.720 --> 0:07:12.720 you know what I mean, we at a very crucial 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.080 point in time right now. It's not I don't feel 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:19.119 the progress is actually moving forward at a fast enough pace, 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.600 And it's kind of discourage you. 0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:24.880 Yeah, you know, you got to ask yourself, you know, 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.880 I always always like to pose this question, right because 0:07:28.960 --> 0:07:33.400 only in our culture, right do we allow entertainers to 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:37.400 represent us as leaders That only happen in black curture right, 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.240 And if we look at our culture and we say, well, 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:44.360 we're the slowest growing household income in America, we at 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.440 the last pace. So were not going to take things 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:50.000 and models from our culture and say that this is excellent. No, 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.040 you're not going to see this happen in no other 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.920 culture around the world where they take their influencers and 0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:59.320 they take their TikTok stars, they take the rapper, they 0:07:59.360 --> 0:08:02.000 take their actors and say, hey, represent us on politics, 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:05.480 represent us on economics, educators on things that have nothing 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:07.720 to do with your feel or representation. 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:09.640 Only in our. 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:13.600 Culture that we think that that's acceptable, and we allow 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.280 media to do that as well. They'll take people who 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:18.600 have nothing to do with politics, the hey, come on here, 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:19.800 talk politics with us. 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.119 What about this guy who got a political science major. 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:25.120 What about the person that's been doing groundwork in the 0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.840 neighborhoods you understand me? What about the person that's actually 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.720 been doing the work. So we never take the smartest 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:34.440 and the brightest amongst us project them to produce the 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.200 ideas to the people. We take the most popular amongst 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:40.480 us and utilize them. Because it has never been about 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.520 true progress for the most part, it's been about capturing 0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:48.360 attention for profit right, and that's at the detriment of 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.520 our actual prevailing and winning some of these wars that 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:56.320 we're fighting on a daily basis. Right now, at the 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:57.800 end of the day, I see a good sister, she 0:08:57.920 --> 0:08:59.920 coming in and this is important, she say, never box 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.520 people in. But at the end of the day, you know, 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.200 that's a good analogy to the fact that in our 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.800 culture we already have people that's being boxed out. And 0:09:08.840 --> 0:09:13.120 those are the people who qualify, you understand. So we 0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.400 got to people out at this point because the people 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:18.640 that are qualified, that study it, that work it, that 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.720 understand it, those are the people that are qualified to 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.840 have the attention, not the people that we're trying to change. 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.080 And we hope they do a little bit better than 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.400 they did yesterday. So we love to hear them talk 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.920 about something that they're completely uneducated on, but it aspires 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.040 us to see them change one percent. No, we want 0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:39.040 to see the smartest and the brightest and the most 0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:42.800 qualified educators because that's when the best ideas get presented 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:43.200 in front of. 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:46.720 The people, right like real economists, real. 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.960 People who study this and who've been doing the work, 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.079 and how do you know if those people are qualified 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.400 to me? I say, you got to look at cycles 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.960 and patterns. You understand me, look at a person's first, 0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.120 you look at a person pattern, person doing one day, 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.079 that's cool, they do it the next day, the next day, 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:02.840 then the next day. 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:04.000 That becomes a pattern. 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.040 Right if they do it long enough through our seasons, 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:09.600 it becomes a cycle. Then you can start looking at 0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.000 that as a measurement of observation and say that you 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.760 know what that person is truthful. Then you gotta look 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.560 at a track record of a person's execution to see 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:20.200 that that are they just talking or do they have 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:23.760 the ability to actually produce right from their knowledge, from 0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:27.040 their expertise, And if they don't, then those shouldn't be 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:28.840 the people that's qualified to come in front of the 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.760 people and speak right. Like, if I ask everybody right now, 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.720 who's the smartest black person in history? Or if I 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.160 ask you who's the smartest black person that's alive right now, 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.960 for the most part, we would draw a blank because 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:47.040 our culture does not propagate intelligence. Our culture does not 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.800 propagate intelligence. But if I ask you who's the smartest 0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.400 white man right now, we gonna think of Elon. We 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:55.119 gonna think of Bill Gates, we gonna think of Jeff Bezos, 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:57.840 all of these guys. We gotta hold top ten list 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.480 like we doing rap. That's our only time we got 0:11:00.480 --> 0:11:02.679 a top ten list is when it's in wrap. We 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.800 don't have it when it comes to intelligence, right, we 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.760 don't have it. When it comes to who is the 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.120 one that's producing the most change and the most productive, 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.480 Who is the person that should stand down in front 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.400 of the youth and can give them the best solutions, 0:11:14.679 --> 0:11:17.120 we don't have that. We weigh on some of the 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.199 lowest of our society to make change, so we can 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.440 prop them up. But that's not a way that any 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.760 society will be led no other. If you can show 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:30.120 me where another people have done that to pour themselves 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.880 out of a position of oppression, you understand me, and 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.400 to liberate themselves, then I could agree with you. 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:36.880 But until you can show me. 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:39.480 That, then we need to change the model of behavior 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.120 and how we move in society. We have to leave 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:45.959 things in classes that they're supposed to be. Entertainment is entertainment. 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.439 Once we have fun, we go to entertain ourselves. That's 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:53.000 when we are distracting ourselves from the things. 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:53.720 That we need to do. 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:57.520 Then we involve into scapism, which is the cousin of 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:03.960 entertainment or the brother So you know that's so let 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:09.480 me ask you this. You know, uh who who is? 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:09.960 You know? 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:13.640 What is something that you want to see change? 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:14.640 Right? 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:18.000 I think I think it has to be a balance. 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.840 And it's like, you know, I'm not here to bash 0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.080 rappers and athletes because we love, we love entertain My. 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:25.800 Brother we gotta you know, I got you know, I 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:27.560 always got to throw a right hook. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:29.360 No, no, no, no, I'm not saying that you are. 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:31.280 I'm just saying that's just I don't want anybody to 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:35.079 get the wrong message. Unity and we all need each 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:37.080 other at the end of the day. But I just 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.200 feel like our culture needs a little bit more balanced. 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.920 I never forget. I had lunch but I won't say 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.400 his name, but he's a very high powered music executive, 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:50.199 black black guy and you know, good dude, big fan 0:12:50.240 --> 0:12:53.160 of Earlsia. And he was telling he was telling me 0:12:53.200 --> 0:12:55.160 and Troy he was like he was he was a 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.800 music executive at one of the top, one of the 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:03.559 top you know staples in hip hop, and he was 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.560 saying like he was like he wouldn't let his kids 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:11.320 listen to rap while he's a music executive, and he said, 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:14.040 the difference between white people and black people is that 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:18.920 white people they let their kids listen to rap. Their 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:25.079 kids know that it's just entertainment, right. Black people they 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.160 let their kids listen to rap, and black kids think 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:32.520 that that's the only way of making it. So it's 0:13:32.559 --> 0:13:34.640 like it's not even one way of making it, it's 0:13:34.679 --> 0:13:36.600 like the only way of making it. So you got 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:40.160 one group that's just listening for entertainment and they still 0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:43.160 going to school, they becoming doctors, they becoming they listen 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.120 to rap, though they're listening to Little Wayne, Little Uzy, 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:50.760 little whatever. They understand that that's just the entertainment to 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:54.800 get them through their day. But we're putting so much 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.679 hope and inspiration on one. 0:13:57.800 --> 0:13:57.920 Two. 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:03.120 The problem with that is a it's demoralizing to other 0:14:03.120 --> 0:14:06.720 people that's doing other things because there's nobody that's celebrating 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.280 that because the awareness is totally off of it. So 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:12.640 it's like I heard the live the other day, shout 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:16.680 out to my brother Fad Joe ewyl Alumni, shout to 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:19.680 both of our good friends Jim Jones. They was on 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.320 the lot, and they was having a conversation and they 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.120 were saying that there's no leadership, and I just feel 0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:30.440 like the conversation was a little misleading, because, as you said, 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.440 there is a lot of leadership, but it's like where 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:37.160 are you looking or where are you highlighting? Right, So 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:42.360 if you're looking in just the entertainment industry for it, 0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:48.160 then you're only focusing on a small subject of the 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.440 whole population where you're saying that there's no leadership, But 0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:55.120 there are leaders. There's leaders in the political field, there's 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:59.120 leaders in the economic field, there's leaders in the nutrition field. 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:02.440 So instead of always complaining that's the problem, like we 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:05.520 always complain it like Malcolm X is not coming back, 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:09.320 Martin is not coming back, Marcus Garvey's not coming back, 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.600 Like once you die, you're not coming back. So instead 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:14.960 of always looking back, they love for us to always 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.240 look backwards. They love for us to always look backwards. 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.600 Instead of always looking backwards, we got to look forward. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:25.920 And part of looking forward is champion young leaders, looking 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:32.320 towards the leadership and actually diversifying and not only worshiping 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.800 one area of subject matter. Because what it's doing is 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:41.160 that it's extremely detrimental because the message that you're given 0:15:41.200 --> 0:15:45.280 to kids is that this is it. That's why when 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.840 Jay said that line twenty five years ago, it's still 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.120 relevant to today. All us blacks got his sports and entertainment. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:57.200 He said that in nineteen ninety six. That line is 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.880 really still relevant to today. And like you said, if 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:04.440 you really think about it, the most you think of 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.400 like the most popular white people, You think of a 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:11.320 wide variety of people. You got everybody from Tom Brady 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:16.680 to Elon Musk, to Tim Cook to whoever. Like you're 0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:20.400 thinking of a lot of different people, Donald Trump, you 0:16:20.480 --> 0:16:22.800 got so many different people that just come off the 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.400 top of your head. Let's think think about the most 0:16:25.400 --> 0:16:30.200 popular black people's Kanye West, jay Z, Beyonce, Floyd Mayweather, 0:16:30.440 --> 0:16:34.120 that's like the most popular. You gotta go through a 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.840 lot of different channels before you even get to a 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.720 Bob Johnson, if you even get to Bob Johnson. 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:42.640 Yeah, that's the fact. 0:16:43.000 --> 0:16:45.560 You gotta go through so many different verticals before you 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:49.080 get to you know, somebody like a kin of Shaw. 0:16:49.680 --> 0:16:51.840 Like there's so many different people that don't even know 0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:55.440 who these people are. So it's like our priorities is 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:58.600 totally off base. And like I said, it's not it's 0:16:58.640 --> 0:17:02.560 not to judge the entertainers because we need the entertainers. 0:17:02.560 --> 0:17:06.000 We need the entertainers, but there has to be a 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:10.920 level of balance. And it's like when you speak, it's 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.000 important to understand that, you know, words are very powerful. 0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:17.880 So if we keep rehashing the same old narrative, oh, 0:17:17.920 --> 0:17:20.600 we need new leadership, we need new leadership. And these 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:22.800 kids is not doing nothing. These kids is not doing nothing. 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:27.080 It's like you just kind of just regurgitating the same 0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:30.000 information over and over again, and it's really not it's 0:17:30.000 --> 0:17:30.880 not beneficial. 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.080 Well, you know, when when that's said, that's self condemnation. 0:17:34.359 --> 0:17:36.840 That's not a condemnation on the people that's doing work. 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:40.119 Any you know, anytime a person asks for leadership is 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:43.280 self condemnation. And the fact that you're not doing your 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:46.399 responsibility in curture. And you know, brother told me the 0:17:46.400 --> 0:17:48.159 other day, at the end of the day, like saying 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:50.760 that you are the leader is a form of vanity. 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:52.680 Like leaders are picked by the people by the work 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:56.600 that they do, you understand me. And that's that's one 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.040 thing that has to be understood as well. Like it's 0:17:59.040 --> 0:18:02.399 not about creating the tendency upon one particular group or 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:03.359 things of that nature. 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:04.320 You understand me. 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:05.840 But at the end of the day, it is talking 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:09.679 about putting qualified people up there and changing narratives within culture, 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:14.560 right because pavarily the prevailing negrative in culture is ignorance. 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:17.720 We know that that is the most dominant aspect of 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:22.040 our culture, right, and so we represent a one percent, right, 0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:25.360 and then the percentage of people that tap in with us, 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.399 even our audiences is still like the ten percent of 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:30.720 people who know who we are. We still getting that 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:34.600 one percent of people actually tap in, take heed and execute. 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:35.639 On the information and knowledge. 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.400 Because once they get this consciousness, they still go take 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:43.200 they they they valuable time, understand me, and they gonna 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:46.919 spend it and some other thing that has no value whatsoever. 0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.240 So if we talk about, you know, creating change number one. 0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:53.280 It's like we got to get to a point in 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:55.840 curture and we got to ask ourselves, what's the difference 0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.680 between you know, different times that we're dealing with different people. 0:18:58.680 --> 0:18:59.040 We asked that. 0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:02.000 We talked about this yesterday, like Malcolm X dealt with 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:04.840 a different people, a different sort of culture, different black 0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:08.080 people that had different values. Martin Luther King dealt with 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.960 a different people, right. They dealt with a different government, 0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:12.440 a different world, a different. 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:13.320 Set of circumstances. 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:16.000 Ours is much harder because it's hard to teach people 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:19.040 who think they already know something, right. And then we 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.639 got another group of class and societies, those of us 0:19:22.640 --> 0:19:25.040 that start to get money. Once we start to get money, 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.359 we separate ourselves from everybody else because you no longer 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.800 have the same level of relatability to those problems. And 0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:34.080 it comes to a point where you at the bottom, 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.600 you're the most revolutionary you will ever be because you 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:39.840 want everything to change at the top, right, because you 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.359 benefit nothing from that world in this cast system. But 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.640 then once you start to get there in the African 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.520 cast system, and say that the entertainers, right, and the politicians, 0:19:50.040 --> 0:19:52.639 they are part of that cast system that wants to 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.320 see things changed, but never wanted they see things go 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.720 not change so much because if they disappear, then they 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.320 lose their place in this system. 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:04.280 And sometimes when you become so tied to. 0:20:04.400 --> 0:20:08.320 Everything, you understand me that your money is tied into 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:10.560 this that if you speak on this too much then 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:10.920 it's going. 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:11.920 To cut your lights off. 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.760 So you know, I can't present this young brother, I 0:20:14.760 --> 0:20:17.280 can't predition this young sister. I can't present these type 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.840 of solutions because it goes off the ignorance that I'm 0:20:19.880 --> 0:20:22.399 still portraying to get paid from. It goes off the 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:25.280 very systems and I'm still working for them. So it's 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:27.520 like there has to be two foes that come into this. 0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.560 It's like, yeah, I respect everybody, you know, because we 0:20:30.600 --> 0:20:32.359 all got our parts. Some people do good in the 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:34.199 ways that they know how to do good, but we 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:35.639 got to challenge that as well. 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.000 We got to challenge to ourselves and our peers, and 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:39.000 we always pushing that. 0:20:39.080 --> 0:20:41.480 We always talking about we got to go away from 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:43.640 the lifestyle branding and we have to go more into 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:46.320 just that value given to the people so they can 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.679 get what's right for them right, because we don't want 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:51.119 to get to a point where we're just manipulating our people. 0:20:51.520 --> 0:20:54.240 You understand me, Because it's not the fact that you 0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:55.760 might not be giving them something right. 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:58.040 It's that at some point in time, Number one. 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:00.439 A lot of people won't really execute and that's going 0:21:00.520 --> 0:21:02.920 to come back as a bad karma on this revolution 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:05.600 that we are in. I ain't gonna say started because 0:21:05.600 --> 0:21:08.919 it started one hundred years ago, you understand me. But 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:11.879 we found a style that works for us in the 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.280 sense that everything that we believed, that we observed that 0:21:15.480 --> 0:21:18.560 was missing or what we could consider was wrong, we say, 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:21.439 you know what, let's add that in there. Right, Like 0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:25.280 if you go on YouTube and a person wants to 0:21:25.520 --> 0:21:28.760 learn about a stock education and they. 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:30.800 Turned into EYL. 0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:35.919 That model did not exist five years ago, not on 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:37.120 any mass platform. 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:37.560 Right. 0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:42.800 But I know for a fact that our grandpa's grandmothers, uncles, aunties, 0:21:42.920 --> 0:21:45.399 a lot of them invested into the stock market, but 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:48.359 there was never a family meeting giving a breakdown on how. 0:21:48.200 --> 0:21:50.320 These things were done. You understand me. 0:21:50.359 --> 0:21:52.560 A lot of them have benefits where I know my 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:55.800 grandma invested into the stock market. I remember my mother 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:59.159 talking about Caterpillar stocks back in the day, but it 0:21:59.240 --> 0:22:03.000 was nobody that could really sit down to give us 0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:06.879 a breakdown in our language. So we speak the language 0:22:06.920 --> 0:22:09.119 of the streets because we come from We speak the 0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:13.240 language of the professional knowledge that needs to be said 0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:15.160 in a matter to where everybody can get it, whether 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.560 it's universal. At the same time, so the question becomes 0:22:18.720 --> 0:22:21.400 is this is the challenge? Because I put that out 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:24.320 there for the media companies as well, and shout out 0:22:24.359 --> 0:22:27.520 to a black enterprise because they reached out to me afterwards, 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:28.879 Kenny check In. 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:31.080 Yeah, shout out to Kenny burrs In here as well. 0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:35.920 It's like, you know, black media has a responsibility harder 0:22:35.920 --> 0:22:40.040 than anybody else because black media has to do things 0:22:40.040 --> 0:22:42.760 that are directly tied to our liberation because they got 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.520 the attention of our people, you understand me, And that 0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:51.560 goes to all networks, none excluded that Brother Newy said, 0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:55.119 the useless movement is a useless movement, you understand me. 0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:58.520 And if we don't have the youth involved in everything 0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:00.560 that we do and we afraid that they're going to 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.240 take our position and you won't have value, then you 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:07.320 already destroying the opportunities for the next generation to become 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:09.760 better because you're not involving them and you're not giving 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:11.320 them the resources that you didn't have. 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.800 And so not to cut you off, but I think 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:17.200 that this is extremely important as well. And we can 0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:19.080 even look at music. This is why I love artists 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:23.080 like Jay Knaves because I feel like our culture, young 0:23:23.160 --> 0:23:26.919 people by this supposed to get guidance and look up 0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:30.240 to older people. Older people are not supposed to try 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.080 to dumb themselves down to be relatable to young people. 0:23:33.880 --> 0:23:35.879 Crazy if you're forty years old trying to be a 0:23:35.960 --> 0:23:39.520 nineteen year old. But what's happening is that in order 0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:43.360 to stay relevant, you have adults that are trying their 0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:46.399 hardest to remain children. The children are never going to 0:23:46.480 --> 0:23:48.560 respect you, so not whole, the whole system is out 0:23:48.600 --> 0:23:52.920 of whack. There's no hierarchy, right. It's like, when you're 0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:56.840 an adult, your message has to be mature. This is 0:23:56.880 --> 0:23:59.919 something that a young person can look at and say, Okay, 0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:02.880 I can understand this. This is something that makes sense 0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.360 to me. I want to go in that direction. If 0:24:05.400 --> 0:24:07.439 you act in the same way that he's acting you 0:24:07.560 --> 0:24:10.600 in the same places that he's in. He's not looking 0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:12.919 at you as leadership. He's looking at you it's like 0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:17.320 or he had respect for you. So it's like you're 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:20.760 you're trying to gain respect by making yourself young, but 0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:23.359 you're actually losing respect by not being yourself. And that's 0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:25.479 why I said before, like you could be anybody in 0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:29.240 this world, even yourself. Like we have such a hard 0:24:29.320 --> 0:24:32.639 time with being ourselves because we don't know who we 0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:35.800 are and we never really had anything. So it's like 0:24:35.840 --> 0:24:38.880 once we get anything, we just we just go crazy. 0:24:39.119 --> 0:24:41.399 This goes to you know, just showing things off, to 0:24:41.920 --> 0:24:44.119 to just you know, going too much, trying to be 0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:48.080 young forever. And the sad thing about it is that 0:24:48.160 --> 0:24:50.080 in the grand scheme of things, no matter how much 0:24:50.119 --> 0:24:52.119 we have, we don't have anything. And this is what 0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:55.760 did he did. He told this to meek Milk because 0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:58.720 mik was like, yo, a million ain't the new goal 0:24:58.760 --> 0:25:00.679 of billions to go and he was like, a billion 0:25:00.720 --> 0:25:03.479 we steal a billion dollars and we still broke. And 0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:05.840 I understood what he meant by that, because it's like 0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:08.960 they say African Americans have like one percent of the 0:25:08.960 --> 0:25:10.800 wealth in America, and we have one percent of the 0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:14.639 wealth in America when we was freed from slavery hundreds 0:25:14.680 --> 0:25:17.159 of years ago. Like you're saying that, they say the 0:25:17.160 --> 0:25:20.360 average black family has twenty five hundred dollars in that work. 0:25:20.440 --> 0:25:23.239 So it doesn't matter like if we're a millionaires, if 0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:26.840 Lebron's a billionaire. In the grand scheme of things, one 0:25:26.880 --> 0:25:30.000 person can't change everything. So it's like, no matter how 0:25:30.119 --> 0:25:33.320 much we gain from a from an individual standpoint, if 0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:37.359 the collective is it is not gaining. It doesn't matter. 0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:41.000 One person's victory is only one person's victory. It's not 0:25:41.040 --> 0:25:43.359 the victory of the whole collective. And that's what they 0:25:43.400 --> 0:25:45.920 don't understand. They make you think that it's a it's 0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:50.040 a it's a one person race, when other other nationalities 0:25:50.080 --> 0:25:52.159 don't think like that. Like I had a friend. I 0:25:52.200 --> 0:25:54.840 have a friend that's Indian and I went to his 0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:58.080 wedding and you know, I was just building with him 0:25:58.440 --> 0:26:00.360 and just to watch their coachure. That's it's a whole 0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:03.320 different thing, Like we don't even have Our culture is 0:26:03.400 --> 0:26:05.960 just made up of scraps. We don't have something that's 0:26:06.000 --> 0:26:08.560 really a real culture. I'd get into that later on too. 0:26:08.600 --> 0:26:11.800 But it's like his family, his his his mother, his 0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:16.960 white's family. They have they own motels, so like the Indians, 0:26:17.040 --> 0:26:20.640 they own like a lot of motels on the East coast. 0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:22.600 And he was telling me, like the philosophy is that, 0:26:22.920 --> 0:26:25.360 you know, like one family member comes over, they open 0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:28.760 a motel and then then money back to India. Like 0:26:28.880 --> 0:26:32.080 five other people come but they don't have any option, 0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:34.440 but they have to work in the motel. The five 0:26:34.480 --> 0:26:36.880 people have to work in the motel. And they all 0:26:36.920 --> 0:26:39.160 live in the same house. They save up their money 0:26:39.240 --> 0:26:41.119 and then it's like they all put their money in 0:26:41.160 --> 0:26:43.760 the pot and they say, okay, you you're gonna get 0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:47.320 the next motel, and then you're gonna send for five people. 0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:51.120 And then before you know it, they own a hundred motels. Right, 0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:54.800 it's not like one person getting a motel and like 0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:57.479 by later like you know what I'm saying, but they 0:26:57.480 --> 0:26:59.639 don't understand. But then it's like now we start to 0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:02.680 look like, okay, you got every other group all over 0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:05.080 the world that comes to America and has more network 0:27:05.160 --> 0:27:07.080 than us, has a higher education than us, And it's 0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:10.320 like we've been here the longest side of anybody, and 0:27:11.000 --> 0:27:13.479 we're still going like this. Every step we up, we're 0:27:13.480 --> 0:27:17.000 taking a step back. And it's like eventually this group 0:27:17.119 --> 0:27:22.920 economics this selflessness. You can't be selfish. It's too much selfishness. 0:27:23.440 --> 0:27:25.879 And that's the problem with our culture is like we 0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:29.560 glorify and we promote selfishness, then we wonder why we 0:27:29.600 --> 0:27:30.360 don't have anything. 0:27:31.200 --> 0:27:34.400 Yeah, you hit a lot on the head, man. 0:27:34.440 --> 0:27:36.840 I want to go specifically to the culture and the 0:27:36.880 --> 0:27:39.920 family model because I will know that for a fact, 0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:41.800 that's one of the biggest things that's missing. 0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:42.080 Right. 0:27:43.000 --> 0:27:45.800 A couple of summers ago, I created the Black Standard 0:27:45.840 --> 0:27:48.399 and the Web Standard, right, and you know that was 0:27:48.440 --> 0:27:50.439 one of the first things y'all interviewed me on, and 0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:53.040 it was simply looking at the fact that we don't 0:27:53.040 --> 0:27:55.600 have standards towards well, we don't have many standards towards 0:27:55.600 --> 0:27:59.440 anything in our culture. Right, So it's hard to hold 0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:01.880 yourself a ca ability when there's no standards. 0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:02.520 Right. 0:28:03.119 --> 0:28:05.560 If there's a book called Oriental Wealth Seekers, and it 0:28:05.560 --> 0:28:08.320 gives a breakdown on some of the standards that you 0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:13.520 understand the Asians family uses in order to model their economics, right, 0:28:14.040 --> 0:28:17.600 and basically everybody in that family has a role, right, 0:28:17.640 --> 0:28:20.960 It's an agreed upon role that's already constructed before you born, 0:28:21.000 --> 0:28:24.600 that you enter into. And it's an understanding that this 0:28:24.800 --> 0:28:28.119 individual is not the importance, right, it's the collective and 0:28:28.160 --> 0:28:29.560 what you can bring to the collective. 0:28:29.600 --> 0:28:32.280 That's also within the African system. 0:28:31.920 --> 0:28:36.040 That you know, the everybody not about to get around you, 0:28:36.040 --> 0:28:38.920 you getting around what skill sets, what value you can 0:28:38.960 --> 0:28:42.080 bring to add more value to the culture itself. 0:28:42.640 --> 0:28:44.400 But what we missed is. 0:28:44.320 --> 0:28:47.480 Any standards of value that we agree upon, like So 0:28:47.640 --> 0:28:50.160 let's say within the culture that we're creating right now, 0:28:50.280 --> 0:28:52.200 is that we want to have standards in this culture 0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:54.520 that there are certain things you can't do within this 0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:57.600 you know, wealth movement that we're creating. If you want 0:28:57.640 --> 0:29:00.600 to consider yourself to be a peer and do good work, 0:29:00.920 --> 0:29:03.080 you understand me, like you can't take advantage of the 0:29:03.120 --> 0:29:08.040 people you The overbranding of lifestylel is another thing that 0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:11.200 we cutting and slashing down as that's not gonna be 0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:13.360 a part of the standards within this culture. 0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:14.880 If we're gonna look at. 0:29:14.840 --> 0:29:17.760 Hip hop, right, because hip hop has to consistently be 0:29:18.080 --> 0:29:21.000 used because it's the one communication system that we have 0:29:21.160 --> 0:29:24.160 all around the world that whether you're in Africa, whether 0:29:24.160 --> 0:29:26.640 you're in Brazil, whether you're in the UK, that all 0:29:26.760 --> 0:29:30.120 melanated people all across the world listen to right, which 0:29:30.200 --> 0:29:33.440 establishes a link of communication that we consider to be culture, 0:29:33.440 --> 0:29:34.800 and it creates these norms. 0:29:35.280 --> 0:29:35.520 Right. 0:29:36.080 --> 0:29:37.880 So when we look at hip hop, hip hop has 0:29:37.920 --> 0:29:38.520 no standards. 0:29:38.520 --> 0:29:42.000 Though right now, a person can get on a beat 0:29:42.280 --> 0:29:44.040 and they can create a hit, and they can talk 0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:47.200 about killing, murder, robin shooting, right, they can talk about 0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:50.040 anything as long as it becomes a hit a person 0:29:50.080 --> 0:29:52.760 to listen to that they get accepted into crture and 0:29:52.800 --> 0:29:54.200 nobody is checking each other. 0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:55.920 Because there's no system of accountability. 0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:59.920 No matter how weird a person does, no matter how 0:30:00.160 --> 0:30:04.760 left they go, you do not see those people that 0:30:04.840 --> 0:30:07.320 engage into the hip hop or the rap world check 0:30:07.360 --> 0:30:10.000 each other like men and women, right, because there's no 0:30:10.040 --> 0:30:12.400 standard of actually being a man or a woman in 0:30:12.480 --> 0:30:17.560 that curture. So it's like the basics right of how 0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:20.720 family would operate with standards in culture don't even exist 0:30:20.800 --> 0:30:23.800 in ours right now. So at the same time, we 0:30:23.880 --> 0:30:26.320 try and advance people to different levels and say, okay, 0:30:26.480 --> 0:30:28.240 y'all need to do business with family. We need to 0:30:28.240 --> 0:30:31.400 set up trust and SOPs and learn how to set 0:30:31.440 --> 0:30:35.200 up the LLCs and learn how to do investment strategies 0:30:35.280 --> 0:30:37.800 and how to protect yourself and how to train. And 0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:41.280 it's like we haven't even got established on how you know, 0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:44.120 in the Oriental Web secrets, there's a relationship on how 0:30:44.120 --> 0:30:46.240 the younger brother and the older brother puposed to interact, 0:30:46.280 --> 0:30:48.440 how the sister and the dad posted to interact, how 0:30:48.440 --> 0:30:50.680 the mother and the oldest son supposed to interact, Like 0:30:50.800 --> 0:30:51.760 all of these are. 0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:53.200 Standards that they have. 0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:56.600 So once you find yourself in that position, you play 0:30:56.640 --> 0:30:59.360 your part right and the family is able to eat 0:30:59.360 --> 0:31:01.640 and benefit and grow cohesively. 0:31:02.080 --> 0:31:03.960 So within our family is dysfunction. 0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:07.200 Nobody knows the role, and everybody want to play any role, 0:31:07.240 --> 0:31:11.080 and we want to disrupt and destroy all of the 0:31:11.160 --> 0:31:12.400 roles that came before us. 0:31:13.080 --> 0:31:15.160 So now we have to get to. 0:31:15.080 --> 0:31:18.960 A point where we're creating new standards of operation that 0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:21.440 the culture can agree upon. And when we see somebody 0:31:21.480 --> 0:31:23.320 that doesn't meet that, we say, wait a minute, that's 0:31:23.400 --> 0:31:25.600 not how we move it. That's not you can't get 0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:28.480 our support anymore because you no longer to meet our standards. 0:31:29.080 --> 0:31:31.720 You understand me. And then we learn how to check 0:31:31.760 --> 0:31:34.640 each other. Not from a place of emotion. You understand me. 0:31:34.680 --> 0:31:37.360 Because anything that happens in public, these are the rules 0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:39.880 as I grew up fl Y Right, if it happens 0:31:39.920 --> 0:31:41.920 in public, you get checked in public. If it happens 0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:43.360 in private, you get checked in private. 0:31:43.880 --> 0:31:44.080 Right. 0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:46.000 It's learning the proper handling. 0:31:45.600 --> 0:31:48.960 Of people, so we don't automatically we start fighting each 0:31:48.960 --> 0:31:50.680 other or killing each other or murdering each other. 0:31:50.680 --> 0:31:51.560 It's like na. 0:31:51.640 --> 0:31:54.480 We learn how to handle confrontation. We learn how to 0:31:54.520 --> 0:31:55.360 consult with each other. 0:31:55.440 --> 0:31:56.120 We learn how to. 0:31:56.120 --> 0:32:01.680 Build and real operation, but we can conflict resolution. That's 0:32:01.720 --> 0:32:04.520 probably that is one of the biggest issues that black 0:32:04.520 --> 0:32:06.640 men have in America and across the world, is that 0:32:06.720 --> 0:32:07.480 we don't know how. 0:32:07.600 --> 0:32:10.120 Do not know how to resolve conflict men and men. 0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:12.200 We don't know how to speak to each other and 0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:16.920 communicate with our pride, ego, envy, jealousy, right, insecurities and 0:32:16.960 --> 0:32:19.120 all these other things that challenge. 0:32:18.720 --> 0:32:19.360 And trigger us. 0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:22.960 And we're not willing to participate in looking at ourselves 0:32:23.000 --> 0:32:26.560 and self evaluate, and we always look outside ourselves for 0:32:26.600 --> 0:32:29.000 the issue. So there's a level of maturity that has 0:32:29.040 --> 0:32:32.640 to be established. And your money does not establish your 0:32:32.720 --> 0:32:34.600 readiness to be in front of the people as a 0:32:34.680 --> 0:32:37.120 leader and speak. And that's one thing that we have 0:32:37.200 --> 0:32:39.280 to strip. We have to strip the money of this 0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:41.320 power that it has in our culture because the person 0:32:41.360 --> 0:32:44.560 now they can flash money in front of the young, right, 0:32:44.680 --> 0:32:47.600 impressionable people and they ain't get them to follow. They 0:32:47.720 --> 0:32:49.600 flash in the front of our women and the women come. 0:32:49.760 --> 0:32:54.680 Or that's a high value men. Those are not standards, right, 0:32:55.040 --> 0:32:59.320 that are connected to value systems. You understand me, because shit, 0:32:59.360 --> 0:33:01.760 a person could god damn got lucky on an ark coin. 0:33:02.120 --> 0:33:03.720 You understand me on some shit, but it knew it. 0:33:03.840 --> 0:33:07.040 It became a millionaire. So that's a man that you 0:33:07.040 --> 0:33:08.600 go date ladies, or that's a man that you go 0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:11.840 follow fellas hell. Now you understand me, that man don't 0:33:11.840 --> 0:33:13.800 have none of those principles of what it takes to 0:33:13.840 --> 0:33:16.560 actually be a man. So at the core of this conversation, 0:33:17.000 --> 0:33:19.600 it's learning how to be men and women again. And 0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:22.560 then we got to separate those who actually are for 0:33:22.640 --> 0:33:24.440 the curture and those who are for themselves. 0:33:26.760 --> 0:33:30.920 I agree, brother, I agree. I feel like conflict resolution 0:33:31.080 --> 0:33:34.160 is extremely extremely important and it's something that it should 0:33:34.200 --> 0:33:38.320 actually be teaching hows. But you know, there's so many 0:33:38.440 --> 0:33:40.680 there's so many issues, so many people that's in jail, 0:33:40.800 --> 0:33:43.719 so many people that's dead because pride, ego, and emotion, 0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:48.160 and it never really goes away the same emotions ego, 0:33:48.320 --> 0:33:51.160 pride that a six year old has a sixty year 0:33:51.200 --> 0:33:52.680 old has, Like you know what I mean, It's just 0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:57.120 it just gets more dangerous when you become older. But 0:33:57.560 --> 0:34:03.320 the conflict resolution part is extremely, extremely extremely important, extremely important, 0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:08.080 and I feel that, you know, there's always light at 0:34:08.080 --> 0:34:10.799 the end of the tunnel. And I just feel that, 0:34:11.040 --> 0:34:15.160 you know, people just have to just open up their eyes. 0:34:15.560 --> 0:34:18.680 That's it. It's not to really like chastise people because 0:34:18.680 --> 0:34:21.000 I always look before I criticize somebody, I try to 0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:23.360 look to see how they how they were thinking, because 0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:26.120 you know, I'm like, maybe somebody wasn't aware, maybe somebody's 0:34:26.200 --> 0:34:28.160 upbringing was different, maybe they're you know what I mean. 0:34:28.160 --> 0:34:30.280 I always try to look at it from from their standpoint, 0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:34.319 because you can't look at it from your standpoint, right like, 0:34:34.360 --> 0:34:36.640 you can't. You can't expect somebody to think how you 0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:39.759 think because your upbringing might be different, your education might 0:34:39.800 --> 0:34:41.800 be different, your value system might be different. So you 0:34:41.880 --> 0:34:43.720 got to put yourself in their in their shoes. 0:34:43.960 --> 0:34:48.600 Well what pointest though, huh, what at what point. 0:34:48.360 --> 0:34:51.120 Do we chest diise because chesstisement is a system. 0:34:50.800 --> 0:34:53.800 That keeps order as law, you know what, I feel 0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:57.759 like the chastisement doesn't really necessarily it's the powers with 0:34:57.800 --> 0:35:02.120 the people, how with the people? And this is something 0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:05.360 that even if you look at the success of our platform, 0:35:05.400 --> 0:35:07.960 your platform right like or in your lisia was championed 0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:10.680 by the people, is championed by the people. So I 0:35:10.680 --> 0:35:13.879 feel like the people because people will say all the time, well, 0:35:14.080 --> 0:35:17.200 like positive hip hop isn't pushed on the radio. Yeah, 0:35:17.239 --> 0:35:20.520 that's true, But ultimately the people make a decision. We 0:35:20.600 --> 0:35:24.560 have to take responsibility as a people. We put people 0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:26.640 in power. Like I said, you look at the white 0:35:26.640 --> 0:35:29.520 community and they got rock and roll, they got all 0:35:29.520 --> 0:35:33.640 that stuff. But there's a balance because the general public 0:35:34.360 --> 0:35:38.719 is not supporting just straight nonsense. They've made decisions as 0:35:39.160 --> 0:35:42.080 a conscious group of people to support what they want 0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:47.520 to support. So ultimately we can we can blame the 0:35:47.560 --> 0:35:50.000 white man, we can blame America and all that is 0:35:50.080 --> 0:35:52.279 very true, but at the end of the day, we're 0:35:52.360 --> 0:35:57.080 black from America. You wasn't supposed to be successful to 0:35:57.160 --> 0:36:00.319 begin with. Like my man Derry Falcon said, if you black, 0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:02.319 you gotta go outside with the umbrella when it's when 0:36:02.320 --> 0:36:05.400 it's sunny because anything can happen. You got to prepare 0:36:05.440 --> 0:36:07.960 for that at the beginning. So it's not really a 0:36:08.000 --> 0:36:13.279 time to make excuses, blame the system, blame record companies. Yeah, 0:36:13.320 --> 0:36:16.520 you already up against the uphill battle. That's that's been 0:36:16.600 --> 0:36:19.680 the case since we got here. But a certain level 0:36:19.680 --> 0:36:24.200 of responsibility has to be taken from an individual standpoint, 0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:28.520 because whatever you champion, that is what's gonna be pushed 0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:32.040 if we if we continue to champion nonsense, if we 0:36:32.080 --> 0:36:35.800 continue to champion you know, gang culture, if we continue 0:36:35.840 --> 0:36:38.840 to champion things that's detrimental to us. This is what 0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:41.520 we're gonna get when we decide not to champion that 0:36:41.719 --> 0:36:45.640 and we decide to champion other things that people, those 0:36:45.680 --> 0:36:49.480 people are gonna go withto the other route. So ultimately, 0:36:50.000 --> 0:36:52.680 the power is with the people. The people will lead 0:36:52.760 --> 0:36:56.160 with their vote. It's it's like an election. They vote, 0:36:56.239 --> 0:36:59.920 the people vote their leaders. Leaders are not there's no 0:37:00.080 --> 0:37:02.960 dictators in this game. The people vote who they want 0:37:03.000 --> 0:37:05.759 to lead them. The people vote which platforms they want 0:37:05.840 --> 0:37:09.520 to receive information from. The people vote to see what's 0:37:09.600 --> 0:37:15.520 most important. And right now, the party that has been 0:37:15.920 --> 0:37:20.040 winning by a landslide for the last twenty five years, 0:37:19.920 --> 0:37:23.839 it's not beneficial. So it's time to overthrow. It's time 0:37:23.880 --> 0:37:26.879 to overthrow the old government. As Poplun said, it's time 0:37:26.920 --> 0:37:30.280 to overthrow the old government and elect the new government 0:37:30.440 --> 0:37:34.600 because the government that we've elected has not been beneficial 0:37:34.680 --> 0:37:36.680 and it's actually been extremely dangerous. 0:37:37.160 --> 0:37:39.279 You know, that's dope that you said that. 0:37:41.239 --> 0:37:44.000 And the challenges that we need we got to have 0:37:44.440 --> 0:37:47.360 when it comes to this is we have to establish 0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:50.480 whether we have a true democracy. And one of the 0:37:50.520 --> 0:37:53.840 issues that exists on both systems is that we's no 0:37:53.880 --> 0:37:55.239 true democracy. 0:37:54.680 --> 0:37:55.799 In them all, right, and. 0:37:57.640 --> 0:38:01.799 That's because money always comes into a play, right at 0:38:01.800 --> 0:38:05.320 the end of the day, you know, we know that. Unfortunately, 0:38:05.320 --> 0:38:08.160 we got to curture a low frequency understand me, and 0:38:08.200 --> 0:38:11.440 we are trying. It's easy to be leading the wrong direction, 0:38:11.480 --> 0:38:12.839 it's hard to be letting the right right. 0:38:13.080 --> 0:38:15.320 Naba Mohammad always gave us that breakdown. 0:38:15.960 --> 0:38:18.479 And when we look at that and we say, well, 0:38:18.560 --> 0:38:20.799 we create the voting system and we allow people to 0:38:20.840 --> 0:38:23.120 have a true democracy. At the end of the day, 0:38:23.200 --> 0:38:26.239 that person that can get more airtime and attention ends 0:38:26.320 --> 0:38:28.759 up winning. That's why I've got a lobby system. They 0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:31.919 still poor people voting. They till rich people's lobby, right. 0:38:32.400 --> 0:38:36.440 And one of the issues is the fact that we 0:38:36.560 --> 0:38:41.080 have to also have the resources to win that particular 0:38:41.160 --> 0:38:44.840 war of influence, right, and that means that we have 0:38:44.960 --> 0:38:49.840 to be aggressive for ourselves, understand me and going after 0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:53.440 our opponents at the same time, right, and at the 0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:55.680 end of the day, those opponents can shake hands just 0:38:55.760 --> 0:38:58.680 like the politicians do when they shake hands on a 0:38:58.719 --> 0:39:01.560 golf course. They take pictures and they kicking it. But 0:39:01.560 --> 0:39:04.120 it's saying that listen, we right now are lobbying for 0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:06.880 our people's attention because we believe we have better solutions 0:39:06.880 --> 0:39:09.080 for them. We believe that if they give us their 0:39:09.120 --> 0:39:12.360 attention and consciousness, that we can actually give them enlightenment 0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:14.919 rather than something that's detrimental to them that'll put them 0:39:14.920 --> 0:39:18.600 further deeper into the whole right and one of the 0:39:18.600 --> 0:39:20.879 most dangerous parts of this is the timeline in which 0:39:20.880 --> 0:39:22.920 we have to do it. You and me ing up 0:39:23.000 --> 0:39:25.680 both know that we got like three to five years 0:39:25.880 --> 0:39:28.239 for a lot of these opportunities that exist right now. 0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:29.040 To close up. 0:39:29.600 --> 0:39:32.719 We see what all of these companies are doing right now. 0:39:32.760 --> 0:39:35.120 All these companies are lobbying and trying to figure out 0:39:35.120 --> 0:39:37.520 how they can own the minds, the time, the environment, 0:39:37.640 --> 0:39:39.160 everything for the people right now. 0:39:40.040 --> 0:39:42.280 I want to just out hold on this is extremely 0:39:42.280 --> 0:39:44.840 important to the financial conversation part of it. 0:39:45.000 --> 0:39:45.319 That's up. 0:39:46.920 --> 0:39:49.800 This guy told me this five years ago. I understand 0:39:49.800 --> 0:39:52.240 what he said. He was like, this next ten years, 0:39:52.520 --> 0:39:54.960 you're either gonna become rich or you're gonna be broked forever. 0:39:55.239 --> 0:39:58.160 I understand what he's talking about now, which what we're 0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:01.439 living in right now is like it's a gap in time. 0:40:01.640 --> 0:40:03.799 Like sometimes it's like a gap in time where you 0:40:03.800 --> 0:40:06.360 can actually like rush through a portal before it actually 0:40:06.400 --> 0:40:12.200 gets closed up. With social media, with technology, with cryptocurrency, 0:40:12.239 --> 0:40:15.080 with all this information, like this is something that there's 0:40:15.120 --> 0:40:17.880 a gap in time right now where you can actually 0:40:17.920 --> 0:40:21.520 receive information in real time, apply it in real time, 0:40:22.000 --> 0:40:24.719 change your life in real time, change your famili's life 0:40:24.719 --> 0:40:28.839 in real time. There's no guarantee, there's no guarantee that 0:40:28.920 --> 0:40:32.360 this will last forever. It's extremely important for people to 0:40:32.440 --> 0:40:36.800 understand the opportunities that's out there right now. This information 0:40:37.040 --> 0:40:39.440 wasn't always readily available like this. People we take for 0:40:39.520 --> 0:40:42.160 granted for things when we have it. But it's like 0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:46.799 in the history of civilization, right, like we're not even 0:40:46.840 --> 0:40:49.480 talking about two thousand years, even before the birth of Christ, 0:40:49.600 --> 0:40:52.960 let's say four thousand, five thousand years, for five let's 0:40:53.000 --> 0:40:55.960 say for five thousand years, right, it was a pyramid 0:40:56.080 --> 0:41:00.080 system where information was held at the top for the 0:41:00.200 --> 0:41:03.560 ruling classes, the wealthy, right, the vast majority of the 0:41:03.560 --> 0:41:06.359 people that lived on the bottom, was ignorant, not even 0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:09.640 not ignorant by choice, ignorant like they wasn't allowed to 0:41:09.640 --> 0:41:12.120 go to school, they wasn't taught how to read. They 0:41:13.080 --> 0:41:17.799 slave stuff like that. It's a very small percentage, like 0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:21.000 probably like less than one percent of world history was 0:41:21.080 --> 0:41:24.279 that information was even readily available to the masses. And 0:41:24.320 --> 0:41:29.680 what we're seeing now where is super readily available end, 0:41:29.840 --> 0:41:31.920 this has never been the case, Like this is not 0:41:32.080 --> 0:41:34.799 normal in world history. This is not normal. This is 0:41:34.800 --> 0:41:37.520 something that has never happened in world history where this 0:41:37.680 --> 0:41:42.360 much information is readily available for free, for free, or 0:41:42.520 --> 0:41:46.800 anything that you want to learn about, from ancient Egypt 0:41:47.120 --> 0:41:51.720 to cryptocurrency, NFTs metaverse, you can learn in the pocket. 0:41:52.040 --> 0:41:54.520 Like you're talking about to ancient I went to Egypt, 0:41:55.320 --> 0:41:59.000 and you know the Ancient Museum, the ancient library in Egypt. 0:41:59.320 --> 0:42:02.640 They said it was the most expansive library in the 0:42:02.680 --> 0:42:08.560 ancient world. And when it burnt down, they said hundreds 0:42:08.600 --> 0:42:14.319 of years of information and civilization was was going awayward, right, 0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:19.000 Like think about how large that library must have been. 0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:27.279 This iPhone is one one million times more vast than 0:42:27.320 --> 0:42:32.120 the ancient Library of Egypt. Yes, but the ancient library 0:42:32.160 --> 0:42:34.640 Egypt doesn't even compare to what we have in our pocket. 0:42:35.160 --> 0:42:39.040 Literally literally anything that you ever wanted to learn, you can, 0:42:39.239 --> 0:42:41.399 and most of us use it for all the wrong things. 0:42:41.400 --> 0:42:44.279 We use it for arguments, We use it for just 0:42:44.360 --> 0:42:48.120 watching nonsense, debating back and forth on social media, going 0:42:48.160 --> 0:42:50.640 to blogs that have nothing to do with nothing, watching 0:42:50.680 --> 0:42:53.920 the same interviews over and over again, watching sports on 0:42:53.960 --> 0:43:00.280 our phone, sports gambling, and it's like, before you know it, 0:42:59.719 --> 0:43:03.799 the going to close and the opportunities are not gonna 0:43:03.840 --> 0:43:06.920 be there anymore. So it's really life the death that 0:43:06.960 --> 0:43:09.799 you take advantage of this information while you have it, 0:43:10.080 --> 0:43:13.839 because if it's not hear anymore, or if there's a 0:43:13.920 --> 0:43:17.920 barrier to access, well, I mean, what can you really say? 0:43:17.920 --> 0:43:18.560 Who can you blame? 0:43:19.120 --> 0:43:19.319 Man? 0:43:19.400 --> 0:43:23.040 That's that's that's that's superbars man, that's super keys. You 0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:29.680 know if the difference between uh, the times of Timber 0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:32.200 to the libraries that we speak of and things of 0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:35.400 that nature is the mindset of the people right that 0:43:35.520 --> 0:43:38.319 would be hungry for that type of knowledge, right, even 0:43:38.360 --> 0:43:41.200 growing up in a lot of immigrant households, growing up 0:43:41.239 --> 0:43:42.960 in the hood, when you are deprived of the thing, 0:43:43.000 --> 0:43:45.760 you want it more than ever. But when you freely 0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:47.560 get access to it, you. 0:43:47.480 --> 0:43:48.919 Don't value it the same way. 0:43:49.600 --> 0:43:52.960 So the mindset that the people have today towards the 0:43:53.080 --> 0:43:55.960 knowledge is the issue, because we know we got more 0:43:56.040 --> 0:43:59.200 knowledge at are readily available at our fingertips than. 0:43:59.080 --> 0:44:00.880 Any other point in time and history. 0:44:01.320 --> 0:44:03.279 But if you don't have a goal and you have 0:44:03.520 --> 0:44:05.880 all the knowledge in the world, then you're not going 0:44:05.960 --> 0:44:08.880 to do nothing with it, right. So it's like the 0:44:08.960 --> 0:44:11.440 lack of vision that exists within the minds of our 0:44:11.480 --> 0:44:12.680 people is the issue. 0:44:13.040 --> 0:44:13.239 Right. 0:44:13.320 --> 0:44:16.359 If you got a goal, the only distance between your goal, 0:44:16.800 --> 0:44:20.040 right is where you are now, what you don't. 0:44:19.800 --> 0:44:21.920 Know you understand me and the execution. 0:44:22.320 --> 0:44:24.600 So you got your ignorance that creates the gap and 0:44:24.680 --> 0:44:27.400 the timeline, and what you get there is your will 0:44:27.480 --> 0:44:29.640 of ambition and execution and focus. 0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:30.279 Right. 0:44:30.360 --> 0:44:32.839 But if you don't have a vision, a person may say, 0:44:32.880 --> 0:44:35.160 you know what I am with that wealth movement. But 0:44:35.280 --> 0:44:37.879 then that same five hours that they could have put 0:44:38.000 --> 0:44:41.120 into studying something that they could have executed something for 0:44:41.520 --> 0:44:42.719 that would have benefited them. 0:44:42.920 --> 0:44:44.600 They might have went to the club with that thing 0:44:44.680 --> 0:44:46.160 five dollars. 0:44:45.760 --> 0:44:49.640 And listen, we one of the worst people that celebrate 0:44:49.680 --> 0:44:51.839 when we have nothing that we. 0:44:51.800 --> 0:44:53.680 Celebrate when we got no wins. 0:44:54.400 --> 0:44:56.960 We are people that celebrate our losses more than ever, 0:44:57.320 --> 0:44:59.120 and not the type of losses that going to eventually 0:44:59.160 --> 0:45:02.040 get us to greater get and wins. We just celebrate 0:45:02.120 --> 0:45:04.799 losing because we're trying to escape the reality of our 0:45:04.840 --> 0:45:08.120 own responsibility to save ourselves. But when you got the 0:45:08.200 --> 0:45:11.000 knowledge at your fingertips, you can say yourself right now, 0:45:11.040 --> 0:45:12.040 you can go study up. 0:45:12.280 --> 0:45:13.279 I always put out a. 0:45:13.200 --> 0:45:16.160 List of everything that families need in order to set 0:45:16.160 --> 0:45:21.919 themselves up. You can go study crypto stocks, investment, real estate, land, gold, right, 0:45:22.239 --> 0:45:27.240 blockchain technology, right, mental health, laws of the universe, health science, 0:45:27.320 --> 0:45:29.200 all of the things that a person would need. 0:45:29.040 --> 0:45:30.839 To in order to get themselves right. 0:45:30.880 --> 0:45:34.640 They can literally go design themselves right now. They can 0:45:34.680 --> 0:45:36.799 decide what they want to be, and then they can 0:45:37.120 --> 0:45:39.040 decide what they want to start at first, and they 0:45:39.040 --> 0:45:41.879 can go source, find that knowledge and execute on. 0:45:41.880 --> 0:45:44.200 Them And when three hundred and sixty five days. 0:45:44.000 --> 0:45:47.400 Come around and every single day they did something to execute, 0:45:47.560 --> 0:45:51.400 they gonna find themselves a completely new person. But the 0:45:51.520 --> 0:45:54.000 problem that we have right now, the most detrimental and 0:45:54.080 --> 0:45:58.600 dangerous thing for us is distraction. Our ability to focus 0:45:58.760 --> 0:46:02.640 is dangerous. You told me before, and I had the 0:46:02.640 --> 0:46:06.680 same thing. You might find yourself mindlessly scrolling on YouTube 0:46:06.760 --> 0:46:07.200 or something. 0:46:07.640 --> 0:46:10.000 Now I know for me, I got a lot of different. 0:46:09.680 --> 0:46:11.759 Ways I keep myself focused, So I know that if 0:46:11.800 --> 0:46:15.160 I find myself scrolling, you understand me what happens to 0:46:15.200 --> 0:46:17.799 another person that they so stuck in the feed? They 0:46:17.840 --> 0:46:21.640 probably get of one that hour a week of real, silent, 0:46:21.719 --> 0:46:26.800 superior focus. And we don't even have any evaluation to measure, like, damn, 0:46:27.000 --> 0:46:30.160 how many hours a week do I actually really focus 0:46:30.280 --> 0:46:33.120 on one task I'm very mindful at and I give 0:46:33.160 --> 0:46:36.960 them my one hundred percent complete with no distractions. And 0:46:37.000 --> 0:46:39.399 the average person, if they was real with themselves, they're 0:46:39.400 --> 0:46:42.399 gonna find themselves that is shrinking over time and time 0:46:42.440 --> 0:46:45.400 because you give it more time to the machine and 0:46:45.480 --> 0:46:48.120 less time to self and your goals and your visions. 0:46:48.600 --> 0:46:51.040 So our goal is, of course, we're gonna continue to 0:46:51.120 --> 0:46:54.799 provide the necessities for the people who are focused, and 0:46:54.840 --> 0:46:57.000 then we are now trying to get the people who 0:46:57.000 --> 0:46:59.799 are distracted to get over here, and then we're trying 0:46:59.800 --> 0:47:02.360 to get the people who distracted them to stop distracting 0:47:02.400 --> 0:47:07.000 them so they can't focus. So it's like it's a 0:47:07.120 --> 0:47:10.160 it's a double sided battle that we fight at all times, 0:47:10.160 --> 0:47:14.280 and we understand how multi dimensional this problem is that exists. 0:47:14.719 --> 0:47:15.400 You understand me. 0:47:15.440 --> 0:47:18.000 And that's the battle that we face right now, and 0:47:18.000 --> 0:47:20.440 that's the battle that everybody else faced that's in these 0:47:20.440 --> 0:47:22.440 timeents that listen to us. Is how the hell do 0:47:22.480 --> 0:47:25.560 I actually get focused to listen to these brothers? And 0:47:26.040 --> 0:47:27.520 it starts with pasting. 0:47:27.960 --> 0:47:30.960 It's it's it's not like we were preaching, because, like 0:47:30.960 --> 0:47:35.320 you said, I find myself scrolling on YouTube and going 0:47:35.360 --> 0:47:39.160 through all kinds of different nonsense and the histories of 0:47:39.960 --> 0:47:42.760 the games in Alaska and how the Bloods got to Alaska, 0:47:42.840 --> 0:47:44.239 and I'm like, why did I just watch this? 0:47:46.400 --> 0:47:48.560 There's a bad bulls at the last. 0:47:48.800 --> 0:47:53.719 Und random random nonsense like and I'm like, what what 0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:57.560 did I just waste forty five minutes on? But it's 0:47:57.600 --> 0:48:00.440 just like it's just like the word jahad, Like you 0:48:00.440 --> 0:48:02.799 know Jahad, you know that got real popular like after 0:48:02.880 --> 0:48:04.840 nine to eleven because it's like a holy war. So 0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:07.560 people like Jahad is like a holy war on America. 0:48:07.640 --> 0:48:10.239 But if you really understand what that word means, like 0:48:10.600 --> 0:48:14.680 the real Jahad is within yourself, Like the greatest battle 0:48:14.719 --> 0:48:17.600 that any human will ever have is the battle within themselves. 0:48:18.080 --> 0:48:21.239 So we all fight battles every single day. None of 0:48:21.320 --> 0:48:25.399 us are above that, Like, nobody's above that. We all 0:48:25.920 --> 0:48:29.480 it's a it's a battle every single day to stay focused, 0:48:29.480 --> 0:48:31.360 to stay on the straight path. Like that's a battle 0:48:31.400 --> 0:48:34.920 that's not easy to accomplish. But one of the things 0:48:35.000 --> 0:48:40.400 is that your your environment really really can either make 0:48:40.520 --> 0:48:43.319 or break the situation. Because the day Chance he said 0:48:43.320 --> 0:48:47.880 something that was very profound when he said it's it's 0:48:48.040 --> 0:48:52.200 extremely hard to do good when you're surrounded by negativity, 0:48:52.719 --> 0:48:56.000 a fact like don't get that. So it's like it's 0:48:56.040 --> 0:48:58.879 like even like if you're in school, right, if you're 0:48:58.880 --> 0:49:02.520 in a school and everybody's just smoking weed in the class, 0:49:02.760 --> 0:49:06.879 throwing papers at the teacher, they rolling dice, it's kind 0:49:06.880 --> 0:49:10.360 of hard to be the one student to just raise 0:49:10.400 --> 0:49:13.359 their hand, so you kind of just flouch and at 0:49:13.360 --> 0:49:15.000 the very least you just you know, just become a 0:49:15.000 --> 0:49:16.839 C student. You just you just kind of cruise through. 0:49:17.920 --> 0:49:21.200 The alternative is that it's extremely hard to do bad 0:49:21.600 --> 0:49:25.440 when you're surrounded by right. So if you're a decent 0:49:26.040 --> 0:49:29.400 level minded person and let's say it's just like you know, 0:49:29.840 --> 0:49:32.320 a bunch of like eighty year old church women around 0:49:32.400 --> 0:49:34.600 like right, like you you see this all the time, 0:49:34.640 --> 0:49:37.879 like people will pull their pants up, people like yeah, 0:49:37.880 --> 0:49:39.759 have to put this away, like wait, wait, wait, let 0:49:39.880 --> 0:49:43.879 let her walk through because now you feel bad. Right, 0:49:43.960 --> 0:49:47.759 your environment is not conducive to your negative behavior, so 0:49:48.200 --> 0:49:52.520 subconsciously you start to correct yourself. Right, So this is 0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:54.400 something that's extreaming port. I had a friend that was 0:49:54.400 --> 0:49:57.000 in jail and he was saying, like he never had 0:49:57.000 --> 0:49:59.960 a speech compeditor or anything, but he was like being 0:50:00.080 --> 0:50:02.600 in jail and being around so many uneducated people that 0:50:02.640 --> 0:50:06.640 really couldn't speak properly. He had developed a stutter and 0:50:06.680 --> 0:50:09.440 he was like it started to bother him, but he 0:50:09.520 --> 0:50:12.480 realized that it was the people that he was around 0:50:12.640 --> 0:50:18.280 actually started to weigh on his diction. So this environment 0:50:18.360 --> 0:50:21.799 conversation is extremely important. And this is why congregation is 0:50:21.880 --> 0:50:25.080 very important. Like even if you look at religions, religions 0:50:25.480 --> 0:50:29.879 they congregate because life minded people. It's always easier. It's 0:50:29.920 --> 0:50:33.160 easier when you're around a life minded group of people. 0:50:33.520 --> 0:50:37.200 This is why you know, everything in our society is 0:50:37.280 --> 0:50:41.000 really based around groups, right, sports teams, that's a fact. 0:50:41.000 --> 0:50:47.719 That works. Gangs, everything is pretty much the same structure, right, 0:50:48.000 --> 0:50:49.640 it's just you. You could be in a group and 0:50:49.680 --> 0:50:51.920 you can do positive things in that group, or you 0:50:51.960 --> 0:50:53.720 could be in a group and you could do negative 0:50:53.760 --> 0:50:56.360 things in that group. It's extremely hard to stand alone 0:50:56.760 --> 0:51:00.279 on an island, and it's even harder to stand along 0:51:00.400 --> 0:51:04.080 the island when everybody that's around you is doing the 0:51:04.120 --> 0:51:06.439 complete opposite that you're doing. 0:51:06.440 --> 0:51:06.480 It. 0:51:06.680 --> 0:51:09.280 That's what that's the crowd. Mind. 0:51:08.960 --> 0:51:13.759 They did a study right where they was testing to 0:51:13.800 --> 0:51:17.000 see how easily people were swayed by the crowd. So 0:51:17.239 --> 0:51:20.160 what they had is they have people walkingside just elevated. 0:51:20.480 --> 0:51:23.200 Now it's elevator only open from one side, but the 0:51:23.239 --> 0:51:25.320 people that will be three people standing in there that 0:51:25.400 --> 0:51:28.719 they'll purposely be standing the opposite way and once the 0:51:28.800 --> 0:51:31.520 door opens, and they wanted to see how many times 0:51:31.520 --> 0:51:34.239 that each person walked in there and just automatically turned 0:51:34.280 --> 0:51:36.959 around and followed the crowd, even though there was only 0:51:37.040 --> 0:51:40.840 one door opening in which you could exit, right, and 0:51:40.960 --> 0:51:42.799 nine out of ten of the people will go in 0:51:42.840 --> 0:51:44.840 there and automatically. 0:51:44.120 --> 0:51:44.960 Follow the crowd. 0:51:45.640 --> 0:51:45.799 Right. 0:51:45.920 --> 0:51:50.520 Because we are organisms of reaction, so our environment sets 0:51:50.520 --> 0:51:52.800 the conditions of what we follow. We got married neuron. 0:51:52.920 --> 0:51:55.160 So when we see some reason we like sports, we 0:51:55.200 --> 0:51:57.800 see somebody doing something, we jump up because we feel 0:51:57.800 --> 0:52:01.000 as if that's us doing it right. So we literally 0:52:01.080 --> 0:52:04.239 mirror everything within our environment. The unable minute a little 0:52:04.239 --> 0:52:06.520 fire kin says some power. For one time they asked me, 0:52:06.520 --> 0:52:09.200 he said, how are you able to go inside all 0:52:09.280 --> 0:52:13.600 of these different type of environments and still be yourself right? 0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:15.760 And he said something to the fact that he said. 0:52:15.600 --> 0:52:18.840 I bring my own atmosphere. That's why you understand me, 0:52:18.880 --> 0:52:22.080 And everybody doesn't know how to do that. So environment 0:52:22.200 --> 0:52:24.319 is stronger than nature and it changes people. So if 0:52:24.360 --> 0:52:26.399 you want to change the condition of your thinking, yes, 0:52:26.480 --> 0:52:29.320 you have to change the condition of your environment. Because 0:52:29.360 --> 0:52:32.879 we are hardwired to react to everything that we see, 0:52:33.360 --> 0:52:35.440 and we want to go with the crowd rather than 0:52:35.560 --> 0:52:38.680 stand out because we feel safer in numbers. So when 0:52:38.760 --> 0:52:42.080 the majority is doing something, it's hard to tell the 0:52:42.120 --> 0:52:45.120 difference between a scholar and a fool. Inside the crowd, 0:52:45.520 --> 0:52:47.520 like a mob that's going crazy, you don't know who 0:52:47.560 --> 0:52:51.520 the smartest. Everybody is acting the same. The intelligence is 0:52:51.600 --> 0:52:54.960 thrown out the window, the individual perspective is thrown out 0:52:55.000 --> 0:52:58.319 the window, and people just follow you, understand me, that's 0:52:58.400 --> 0:52:59.919 the frenzy of the crowd minds. 0:53:00.640 --> 0:53:01.640 So being able to. 0:53:01.880 --> 0:53:06.120 Have self observation and understand your external observations allow you 0:53:06.239 --> 0:53:08.320 to get to a point of knowledge yourself where you 0:53:08.440 --> 0:53:11.719 can bring your own atmosphere. And even social media is 0:53:11.719 --> 0:53:15.680 an environment, right, you see, people always people get mad 0:53:15.719 --> 0:53:18.200 when people take things from Oh you took my idea, 0:53:18.320 --> 0:53:20.279 you said just like how I said it. Well, if 0:53:20.280 --> 0:53:22.400 you put it out there, you created an environment for 0:53:22.480 --> 0:53:25.319 people to be influenced by it. We are all collectively 0:53:25.440 --> 0:53:28.840 collaborating on a platform, whether we want to be influenced 0:53:28.960 --> 0:53:31.440 or not. The moment we see something, it's going to 0:53:31.560 --> 0:53:34.439 have a reaction within us, you understand me. The worst 0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:36.640 thing to do is hearing a good idea and not 0:53:36.800 --> 0:53:40.880 want to execute on it. So that's why we always 0:53:40.920 --> 0:53:42.920 got to be careful who we tell our ideas, because 0:53:43.080 --> 0:53:44.839 if you tell the right person the idea and it's 0:53:44.880 --> 0:53:45.839 the right idea. 0:53:46.000 --> 0:53:47.680 They gonna be like, well, damn, you just save me 0:53:47.760 --> 0:53:50.880 time to think. But it's the same thing with a 0:53:50.960 --> 0:53:51.560 bad idea. 0:53:52.000 --> 0:53:54.400 People hear bad ideas and if they don't have that 0:53:54.560 --> 0:53:56.600 power of self control, they're going to follow it. The 0:53:56.680 --> 0:53:59.200 same way depending on their state of mind, and they moved. 0:54:00.239 --> 0:54:01.960 Like we have a lot of things that we have 0:54:02.120 --> 0:54:05.280 to do when it comes to learning self control because 0:54:05.320 --> 0:54:08.040 we live in an environment where everybody has studied and 0:54:08.200 --> 0:54:11.240 master us as consumers, because we are the greatest consumers 0:54:11.280 --> 0:54:15.280 in America, right, particularly Black women are the greatest consumers 0:54:15.400 --> 0:54:17.920 right because they spend more money. But as a culture, 0:54:17.960 --> 0:54:20.600 we are the greatest consumers. We produce one point five 0:54:20.680 --> 0:54:24.239 something trillion dollars. Yet it's not an investment power. It's 0:54:24.280 --> 0:54:26.400 a spending power, which means that it goes out and 0:54:26.480 --> 0:54:30.240 it doesn't come back. Every other community has a circulating model. 0:54:30.560 --> 0:54:33.640 We understand me whether the money is circulating within that 0:54:34.360 --> 0:54:37.440 it comes back to points of origin rather than just 0:54:37.600 --> 0:54:38.000 go out. 0:54:38.400 --> 0:54:42.520 The Asian community circulate that you go down to Chinatown, right. 0:54:43.360 --> 0:54:48.360 And once we get to the science of economics, we 0:54:48.520 --> 0:54:52.080 get to the science itself, then we can really start 0:54:52.200 --> 0:54:55.040 raising our energy to the highest level. Because right now 0:54:55.560 --> 0:54:57.799 we're simply trying to get your mindset to the point 0:54:57.840 --> 0:54:59.879 where you can gain some resources for yourself to get 0:54:59.880 --> 0:55:01.400 you you out of your own condition. 0:55:01.520 --> 0:55:04.319 That you win, because like you said, bro, we are 0:55:04.360 --> 0:55:05.600 the last generation that. 0:55:05.680 --> 0:55:07.680 Will be able to have that excuse where you blame 0:55:07.920 --> 0:55:10.040 the white man, where you blame. 0:55:09.880 --> 0:55:12.719 The government, because people can listen you. 0:55:13.040 --> 0:55:16.480 It would be a historical record, like, no, you did 0:55:16.600 --> 0:55:19.520 not do anything between twenty nineteen through twenty. 0:55:19.360 --> 0:55:21.120 Two, and let me say something. Let me say something 0:55:21.120 --> 0:55:25.239 about that real quick. Like America, we don't have to 0:55:25.320 --> 0:55:27.960 go into that. We already know all the atrocities that 0:55:28.120 --> 0:55:31.320 was done on American soil, on foreign soil by American 0:55:31.400 --> 0:55:34.640 We aren't no slavery, we already know that, and like 0:55:36.000 --> 0:55:37.880 that's already established. 0:55:37.960 --> 0:55:38.040 Right. 0:55:38.320 --> 0:55:41.600 I'm African American. Both of my parents African Americans, so 0:55:42.040 --> 0:55:45.000 nobody can really talk to me about that because that's 0:55:45.080 --> 0:55:50.840 my experience. The United States of America. Understand this. The 0:55:51.040 --> 0:55:55.399 United States of America has the most opportunity than any 0:55:55.480 --> 0:55:58.319 other country in the world. This is a country where 0:55:58.360 --> 0:56:00.800 you can literally get busy. And because I'm a millionaire 0:56:01.200 --> 0:56:02.400 in one two. 0:56:03.480 --> 0:56:05.840 Earners, what's up?

That is a fact. So what I'm 0:58:28.280 --> 0:58:31.240 saying is that, of course it's not perfect, of course 0:58:31.320 --> 0:58:37.600 there's issues. But having said all of that, this is 0:58:38.040 --> 0:58:44.120 a country that you can change your life. That is 0:58:44.240 --> 0:58:47.720 a fact. So all of is like when we continue 0:58:47.920 --> 0:58:52.080 to blame things, it's not helping m M. 0:58:52.280 --> 0:58:54.480 You just putting in front of your opportunities. 0:58:55.040 --> 0:58:56.600 That's why I don't get with none of that. Like 0:58:56.920 --> 0:59:00.520 I don't get with none of that because ultimately it's 0:59:00.560 --> 0:59:02.600 like it's like if you're in a game, right and 0:59:03.600 --> 0:59:07.080 the referee is bad, you can you keep complaining about 0:59:07.080 --> 0:59:10.400 the referee. The referee is not changing play. You gotta 0:59:10.440 --> 0:59:13.960 play the game or sit out the game. But you 0:59:14.120 --> 0:59:17.200 can't complain. You can't just keep complaining in and blaming this, 0:59:17.400 --> 0:59:21.800 blaming that, blaming what like? This is where we are 0:59:21.960 --> 0:59:26.240 right now in twenty twenty two. You take advantage of 0:59:26.280 --> 0:59:29.240 the opportunities that's presented to you, or somebody else, will 0:59:29.320 --> 0:59:32.400 I guarantee you somebody else? Will I guarantee you that 0:59:32.640 --> 0:59:38.600 somebody else will from another country, from anywhere? This is 0:59:38.680 --> 0:59:41.320 this is the reality. And sometimes you gotta understand that 0:59:42.160 --> 0:59:46.520 you gotta speak this kind of way because there's no sympathy, 0:59:47.560 --> 0:59:51.280 there's no nobody's coming to save you. There's nobody there's 0:59:51.360 --> 0:59:55.080 no government stimulus package that will save you. There's no 0:59:55.360 --> 0:59:59.040 charity program that will save you. There's no billionaire that's 0:59:59.080 --> 1:00:03.880 gonna come and save you. Nobody's gonna save you. Nobody's 1:00:03.920 --> 1:00:05.880 gonna save you. The only person that can save you 1:00:06.440 --> 1:00:11.440 is yourself. So first you have to understand that. Second, 1:00:11.600 --> 1:00:16.680 you have to actually get up take action. Stop wasting 1:00:16.720 --> 1:00:18.960 your life, like a lot of people are wasting their 1:00:19.000 --> 1:00:23.320 lives doing a budget that are not beneficial at all 1:00:23.480 --> 1:00:27.360 and then wondering why they're not seeing results. Stop comparing 1:00:27.400 --> 1:00:30.120 your life to somebody else. That's another big thing too, 1:00:30.280 --> 1:00:34.080 Like comparison is the thief of joy, Like you're comparing 1:00:34.160 --> 1:00:36.120 your life to somebody else that you don't even know. 1:00:36.960 --> 1:00:39.439 Run your own race. I tell people this all the time. 1:00:39.560 --> 1:00:43.840 Like when I was building what we have now, I 1:00:44.040 --> 1:00:49.720 wasn't sleeping. I was up to walk on it every morning. 1:00:49.920 --> 1:00:51.680 I taught myself. I don't even know how to use 1:00:51.720 --> 1:00:56.200 the computer properly. I taught myself how to edit by myself. Yeah, 1:00:56.720 --> 1:01:00.240 social media, I can edit. Because I was going through 1:01:00.360 --> 1:01:03.520 all the apps in the app store, googling, how do 1:01:03.600 --> 1:01:04.960 you how do you make this video? How do you 1:01:05.000 --> 1:01:06.920 spice this how do you have music to it? How 1:01:06.920 --> 1:01:09.800 do you do the da da da da da? There's 1:01:09.880 --> 1:01:13.400 no alternative when when losing is not an alternative, the 1:01:13.480 --> 1:01:15.680 only thing that you can do is win. That's a fact. 1:01:16.600 --> 1:01:18.560 I don't. I don't really take a lot of excuses 1:01:18.600 --> 1:01:21.280 because it's like I'm looking at my own personal situations. 1:01:23.280 --> 1:01:25.400 You can't. You can't because it's like you're either you're 1:01:25.400 --> 1:01:27.520 either gonna do it or you're not. This is the 1:01:27.600 --> 1:01:30.400 reality that we're in right now. And I wasn't privy 1:01:30.480 --> 1:01:32.840 to all the information that was out there, Like now 1:01:32.920 --> 1:01:35.040 you can just listen to podcasts, you can watch YouTube. 1:01:35.240 --> 1:01:38.040 I was literally teaching myself on to go on the fly. 1:01:39.440 --> 1:01:41.680 I mean, now we get to be blueprints for someone 1:01:41.720 --> 1:01:43.040 Else's what I'm saying. 1:01:43.080 --> 1:01:45.800 It's already there. All the information is already readily available 1:01:45.840 --> 1:01:50.280 to you at your fingerprints. So it's like you're gonna 1:01:50.320 --> 1:01:52.960 do it or you're not gonna do it. But what 1:01:53.120 --> 1:01:55.080 we're not gonna do is just continue to make the 1:01:55.160 --> 1:01:57.360 same excuses over and over again. Bro. 1:01:57.840 --> 1:01:59.680 You know, one of the most important words I learned 1:01:59.680 --> 1:02:02.320 in my life life was the word managed. You understand me, 1:02:03.160 --> 1:02:07.120 and having that ability to you know, line up your 1:02:07.240 --> 1:02:09.800 task to get to your set obligation and goals right. 1:02:10.000 --> 1:02:11.960 Always say that you can't be a man unless you 1:02:12.040 --> 1:02:14.560 learn how to man age yourself, meaning that unless you 1:02:14.680 --> 1:02:17.360 learn how to manage yourself in certain areas of life, you're. 1:02:17.240 --> 1:02:19.320 Not a man. Same thing for a woman. You got 1:02:19.400 --> 1:02:20.000 to be at that one. 1:02:20.040 --> 1:02:24.200 Man age right, Whether you can manage yourself emotionally right, 1:02:24.680 --> 1:02:25.120 or can you. 1:02:25.280 --> 1:02:26.600 Manage yourself financially? 1:02:27.080 --> 1:02:27.760 You understand me. 1:02:27.920 --> 1:02:29.440 Can you manage yourself physically? 1:02:30.040 --> 1:02:33.560 And that's saying that can you manage your activities on 1:02:33.600 --> 1:02:36.360 a daily basis to get to your goals or maintain 1:02:36.480 --> 1:02:40.720 consistency within your standards? And so once you learn management, 1:02:41.240 --> 1:02:43.680 you understand me, then you have the power over self. 1:02:43.760 --> 1:02:45.920 But when we're young and we children, what we need 1:02:46.000 --> 1:02:48.400 our mothers to manage us. We need the schools to 1:02:48.520 --> 1:02:51.960 manage us. We need everybody around us teaches a system 1:02:52.000 --> 1:02:55.160 of management. And same thing with jobs, and there's no 1:02:55.280 --> 1:02:56.200 disrespected job. 1:02:56.280 --> 1:02:58.640 But we understand that we need more than that. That. 1:02:58.800 --> 1:03:02.000 We have to learn how to create our own jobs 1:03:02.040 --> 1:03:04.920 because each person has the ability of creative capacity. But 1:03:05.000 --> 1:03:09.080 we haven't learned how to manage our minds, manage our creativity, 1:03:09.320 --> 1:03:12.360 manage our productivity. And once we learn how to manage 1:03:12.400 --> 1:03:14.840 ourselves in each one of these sectors, it allows us 1:03:14.920 --> 1:03:17.880 to set ourselves up for a life where we managed 1:03:17.920 --> 1:03:20.960 to save ourselves. You understand me, like we got the 1:03:21.080 --> 1:03:23.640 resources because even for those that I know, this an 1:03:23.680 --> 1:03:25.360 international conversation because we got. 1:03:25.280 --> 1:03:26.400 A lot of people around the world. 1:03:26.880 --> 1:03:29.040 It's not even just the fact that we're in America, 1:03:29.080 --> 1:03:32.000 it's the time we living in. If you've got if 1:03:32.040 --> 1:03:34.360 you are watching this live, it means you have the 1:03:34.400 --> 1:03:38.680 same opportunities just about because you have access to technology. 1:03:39.400 --> 1:03:42.920 And this technology has transformed our ability. 1:03:42.520 --> 1:03:43.240 To produce wealth. 1:03:43.320 --> 1:03:46.600 Because at first the wealthy man only had access to 1:03:46.680 --> 1:03:50.240 stream of two thousand people on a random without without 1:03:50.320 --> 1:03:53.080 saying putting up, no polls, no nothing, and people just 1:03:53.160 --> 1:03:53.640 show up. 1:03:54.560 --> 1:03:56.680 We didn't have access to do that whatsoever. 1:03:57.040 --> 1:03:58.600 But now we can. 1:03:58.920 --> 1:04:02.240 So now that's same amount of money or that same amount. 1:04:01.960 --> 1:04:05.040 Of resource that you know that was only privy to 1:04:05.120 --> 1:04:07.440 the wealthy class to be able to move information and 1:04:07.520 --> 1:04:08.920 communication and resources. 1:04:09.400 --> 1:04:10.680 We have that same ability. 1:04:11.200 --> 1:04:14.440 We can go on YouTube right now and go viral 1:04:14.520 --> 1:04:16.880 and hit a million people you don't have to pay 1:04:16.960 --> 1:04:19.440 for That's called zero marginal costs when you don't have 1:04:19.520 --> 1:04:22.360 to pay for the resource. But you understand me, you 1:04:22.480 --> 1:04:25.840 can still maximize the effectiveness of it. So at the 1:04:25.960 --> 1:04:28.840 end of the day, the smart people built the platforms, 1:04:29.080 --> 1:04:30.520 So what do we got to do next? We have 1:04:30.600 --> 1:04:32.600 to learn how to use them the best way possible. 1:04:32.640 --> 1:04:35.360 And that's where creativity comes in. You've learned how to 1:04:35.440 --> 1:04:38.320 utilize this platform in a more creative manners. Matters that 1:04:38.640 --> 1:04:41.480 you couldn't be told because the blueprint didn't exist before you. 1:04:41.840 --> 1:04:44.320 I've learned how to utilize it in that same capacity, 1:04:44.680 --> 1:04:47.560 and many other people here that are there now. It's 1:04:47.600 --> 1:04:51.280 the creativity that's what's gonna set you apart today. I 1:04:51.440 --> 1:04:53.160 know a brother that is he out there in Africa 1:04:53.200 --> 1:04:56.520 and he just built a solar power TV. You understand 1:04:56.600 --> 1:05:00.200 me where it's cordless because he utilized the resource of 1:05:00.280 --> 1:05:03.400 his own intelligence. Said that he was self taught. Understand me, 1:05:03.600 --> 1:05:06.400 he understood his fascination with technology, He learned how to 1:05:06.480 --> 1:05:09.800 get more resources and created an opportunity for himself. The 1:05:10.280 --> 1:05:12.840 one of the cheap differences between the Asian community and 1:05:12.920 --> 1:05:15.880 ours is that that when they think about a savior, 1:05:15.960 --> 1:05:18.800 they think about education. That that's the thing that's going 1:05:18.880 --> 1:05:21.040 to save them. So that if we know that we 1:05:21.120 --> 1:05:23.240 don't have another Malcolm X coming, we know we don't 1:05:23.280 --> 1:05:25.360 have a Martin Luther King coming because we never had them. 1:05:25.720 --> 1:05:27.640 So therefore they got to look at, well, how do 1:05:27.760 --> 1:05:29.840 we save ourselves? Well, we gotta get knowledge. 1:05:30.280 --> 1:05:32.680 The knowledge gonna give us a skill set the resources 1:05:32.960 --> 1:05:34.080 to be able to do for self. 1:05:34.120 --> 1:05:37.800 We gotta work with family, right, we gotta dominate sectors 1:05:38.320 --> 1:05:40.520 that are going to be, you know, the rulers in 1:05:40.600 --> 1:05:43.480 the world. So they get into technology right, they invest 1:05:43.520 --> 1:05:46.360 into health. They are looking at the ruling sectors and 1:05:46.400 --> 1:05:48.280 saying that if we get in those right now, then 1:05:48.360 --> 1:05:51.000 we have an advantage. That's why the East Indian is 1:05:51.040 --> 1:05:54.080 the highest paid in Silicon Valley. They understand me. 1:05:54.440 --> 1:05:55.680 That's why they're running. 1:05:55.640 --> 1:05:59.240 These companies because they got education in places that have 1:05:59.360 --> 1:06:01.680 something to do with building right. 1:06:02.200 --> 1:06:05.440 We do not get educated in places that have something. 1:06:05.200 --> 1:06:07.760 To do with building our own nation, or building our 1:06:07.880 --> 1:06:10.200 families up or building wealth in the future. 1:06:10.440 --> 1:06:14.760 Whatsoever. We go to school and all were trying to 1:06:14.800 --> 1:06:16.280 do is impress our mother and father. 1:06:16.440 --> 1:06:18.760 We go get a debt education and then don't get 1:06:18.800 --> 1:06:21.080 a degree that's valuable enough to pay off the education 1:06:21.200 --> 1:06:24.560 in the first place, right, and then when we get 1:06:24.640 --> 1:06:26.560 the money that's in the household, we got to use 1:06:26.600 --> 1:06:28.240 all of the resources we have to take care of 1:06:28.240 --> 1:06:32.320 everybody else, so there's nothing left to pass down because 1:06:32.320 --> 1:06:35.040 we don't look at the fact that our net worth. Also, 1:06:35.120 --> 1:06:37.600 we got to decrease the amount of responsibilities and people 1:06:37.640 --> 1:06:38.040 that we have. 1:06:38.480 --> 1:06:39.120 To take care of. 1:06:40.040 --> 1:06:43.000 So we've never worked as much as we do unless 1:06:43.040 --> 1:06:46.040 everybody around us is eating and living good at the 1:06:46.120 --> 1:06:46.640 same time. 1:06:47.360 --> 1:06:47.520 Right. 1:06:47.920 --> 1:06:51.680 So that's why the family model has to come into play. Right, 1:06:51.840 --> 1:06:52.400 That's why we. 1:06:52.560 --> 1:06:54.919 Have to change the standards and how we do things. 1:06:54.960 --> 1:06:57.400 And that's why I study everybody else because for the 1:06:57.480 --> 1:06:59.520 most part, everybody else is doing it better than us. 1:07:01.160 --> 1:07:01.760 I need to know. 1:07:02.600 --> 1:07:05.600 I need to know the best practices, so take the 1:07:05.720 --> 1:07:08.720 best practices in every courture and said, well, we're going 1:07:08.760 --> 1:07:10.920 to adopt that, so now I can do it as 1:07:10.960 --> 1:07:12.640 good as y'all. And then I need to take it 1:07:12.800 --> 1:07:15.560 farther because guess what, if we are in last place, 1:07:15.920 --> 1:07:18.800 we have to be even more efficient than everybody else 1:07:19.280 --> 1:07:21.080 because it's going to take a lot more energy for. 1:07:21.200 --> 1:07:24.440 Us to catch up. We ten trillion dollars behind, you 1:07:24.560 --> 1:07:25.120 understand me. 1:07:25.440 --> 1:07:27.720 So that means that we don't have time to play. 1:07:28.240 --> 1:07:30.160 So when a person would be like, man, you know, 1:07:30.680 --> 1:07:33.040 I was always taught that you know, too much joking and. 1:07:33.040 --> 1:07:33.800 Plan is no good. 1:07:33.840 --> 1:07:36.560 And I understand that now because people will be like, no, 1:07:36.720 --> 1:07:37.840 we got you know, entertainment. 1:07:37.880 --> 1:07:40.840 We love entertainment. I enjoy entertainment, you understand me. 1:07:41.560 --> 1:07:45.919 I watched the UFC, but I just seen they offer 1:07:46.000 --> 1:07:50.080 Anthony Joshua fifteen million not to fight, so Wilder and 1:07:50.160 --> 1:07:53.360 the other dude can get the fight. And that's more 1:07:53.400 --> 1:07:55.720 than everybody in the UFC than got paid for almost 1:07:55.800 --> 1:07:59.200 killing themselves in the fight. So it's like we always 1:07:59.280 --> 1:08:02.240 the talent, always the entertainment, but were never the owners. 1:08:02.520 --> 1:08:04.640 And that's the thing. That's the one thing too, because 1:08:04.640 --> 1:08:06.960 it's like, you know, it's one of these things that 1:08:07.440 --> 1:08:10.160 you always gotta look at it. Yes, we were naturally 1:08:10.240 --> 1:08:13.840 gifted in sports entertainment. You can't. I mean, it is 1:08:13.880 --> 1:08:17.120 what it is, right, and we dominate sports and entertainment. 1:08:18.280 --> 1:08:21.759 It wouldn't even necessarily be bad if we actually control 1:08:21.840 --> 1:08:25.040 sports and entertainment. The problem that we don't have any 1:08:25.200 --> 1:08:28.280 ownership or control is the two areas that we really 1:08:28.360 --> 1:08:31.679 dominate sports entertainment. We have no ownership in those areas. 1:08:32.200 --> 1:08:34.479 That's really the problem. It would be a different conversation 1:08:34.760 --> 1:08:39.320 if out of thirty two NBA teams, ten of them 1:08:39.479 --> 1:08:41.960 was owned by black people, right, fifty twenty was owned 1:08:42.000 --> 1:08:44.960 by black people. When you have thirty two NBA teams 1:08:45.560 --> 1:08:50.280 and one is owned by a black person, the greatest 1:08:50.760 --> 1:08:54.840 athlete of all time, right, and you have I don't 1:08:54.840 --> 1:08:57.760 know how many NFL teams and none of them are 1:08:57.880 --> 1:08:59.400 owned by a black. 1:08:59.200 --> 1:09:01.320 Person, barely got head coach that's black. 1:09:01.960 --> 1:09:05.559 You have no major you have no record label that's 1:09:05.640 --> 1:09:07.400 on wild black person. And they're gonna say, well, what 1:09:07.520 --> 1:09:10.800 about those record labels are under another record label. Yes, 1:09:11.360 --> 1:09:15.439 Like the two areas that we actually dominate in we 1:09:15.560 --> 1:09:19.679 don't control, We have no ownership in. So that's another situation. 1:09:19.720 --> 1:09:22.800 That's a whole nother conversation, Like it wouldn't even necessarily 1:09:22.880 --> 1:09:26.919 be that bad if we actually controlled sports and entertainment. 1:09:27.200 --> 1:09:30.200 We're still employees in sports and entertainment. We don't control 1:09:31.000 --> 1:09:33.519 the two areas that we focus on and we put 1:09:33.600 --> 1:09:36.200 the most attention in. We don't have any ownership or 1:09:36.240 --> 1:09:39.080 any control. And this is why we have to have 1:09:40.520 --> 1:09:42.680 We get told what to do, We get told you 1:09:42.800 --> 1:09:46.040 cannot say this in the music. You cannot say this 1:09:46.160 --> 1:09:48.920 in the music, right, Like there's certain things that artists 1:09:49.000 --> 1:09:53.120 had to take out of their songs because it wasn't beneficial, 1:09:53.320 --> 1:09:56.120 Like you know what I'm saying to like you could 1:09:56.160 --> 1:09:59.440 say anything, you can't say everything. 1:10:00.800 --> 1:10:04.600 As a fact too free The biggest. 1:10:04.280 --> 1:10:07.800 Song in hip hop history when Jadakiss said stacked chips 1:10:07.840 --> 1:10:10.639 like Hebrews, that line is taking out. If you listen 1:10:10.680 --> 1:10:15.479 to the Benjamins, that line's not in there anymore. Put 1:10:15.520 --> 1:10:19.879 the line out. It's non negotiable, no negotiable. 1:10:21.040 --> 1:10:23.800 Yeah, imagine how we will act if we were doing 1:10:23.920 --> 1:10:28.719 things the way we wanted to. Like, there's no area 1:10:28.880 --> 1:10:32.360 in sports and entertainment there there's nobody that you can 1:10:32.439 --> 1:10:35.720 see acting one hundred percent freely in a way that 1:10:35.840 --> 1:10:39.040 they want to, saying exactly what they want to, making 1:10:39.080 --> 1:10:41.400 the exact music they want to wish. Sells us that 1:10:42.040 --> 1:10:45.559 the most valuable communicative line that we have in our 1:10:45.680 --> 1:10:48.400 culture is not owned by us. Somebody else controls the 1:10:48.560 --> 1:10:52.679 direct messages that's being downloaded into us that have effect 1:10:52.760 --> 1:10:55.800 and influence on us. That affects us, our behaviors and 1:10:55.840 --> 1:11:00.599 the outcomes of our lives. You understand me, that that's dangerous. 1:11:01.520 --> 1:11:03.800 And so that's something that you know, when I went 1:11:03.880 --> 1:11:07.040 to the Revolt Hip Hop summit, they was talking about 1:11:07.120 --> 1:11:08.360 ownership the first. 1:11:08.160 --> 1:11:09.760 Time I went, and I thought that was dope. 1:11:09.760 --> 1:11:12.880 And then I went to South Africa and they was 1:11:12.920 --> 1:11:14.680 having it was well, be doing the land summit where 1:11:14.680 --> 1:11:16.840 they were trying to get the land back from where 1:11:16.880 --> 1:11:19.560 the South Africans have stolen the land because you go 1:11:19.720 --> 1:11:22.160 out there and there are certain places. 1:11:21.800 --> 1:11:22.439 Where you can go. 1:11:22.560 --> 1:11:24.800 I mean, you could be driving from miles seventy miles 1:11:24.840 --> 1:11:26.560 deep and they'd be like, yes, all of this is 1:11:26.640 --> 1:11:30.200 owned by this white South African right and he has 1:11:30.360 --> 1:11:33.880 one little ranch farm there where he has this high 1:11:34.120 --> 1:11:37.320 expensive steak that none of the Africans in that whole 1:11:37.400 --> 1:11:40.599 country for the most part, can afford. So the government, 1:11:40.840 --> 1:11:44.040 you understand me, us trying to figure out how to 1:11:44.160 --> 1:11:46.880 give them back some land while still being fair to 1:11:46.920 --> 1:11:49.559 the white South Africans who stolen land in the first. 1:11:49.360 --> 1:11:51.120 Place, you understand me. 1:11:51.320 --> 1:11:54.200 So that's they struggling an issue right now, trying to 1:11:54.200 --> 1:11:56.719 figure out is it even fair to get back stolen 1:11:56.840 --> 1:11:59.400 land that's owned by the people, and then the people 1:11:59.479 --> 1:12:02.519 don't even have the knowledge nor expertise that if they 1:12:02.560 --> 1:12:04.960 were given a land to know actually how. 1:12:05.240 --> 1:12:10.240 To irrigate it and actually farm and things of that nature. 1:12:10.320 --> 1:12:13.240 Because they live in the city, they don't have those 1:12:13.360 --> 1:12:15.000 skill sets and that knowledge. 1:12:15.880 --> 1:12:18.439 And that's what we're dealing with all around the world. 1:12:18.520 --> 1:12:19.880 Everywhere you go, you're going. 1:12:19.840 --> 1:12:23.599 To see this that we're always missing something. So if 1:12:23.680 --> 1:12:25.720 we can combine resources, and this is why I like 1:12:25.800 --> 1:12:27.519 the idea of the blockchain, because it takes a lot 1:12:27.560 --> 1:12:30.840 of our problems and we can create solutions from them, 1:12:31.240 --> 1:12:34.080 you understand me. But if we have to start at 1:12:34.120 --> 1:12:36.720 a level of independence, and we got to start at 1:12:36.760 --> 1:12:41.480 a level of you understand me, collective and cooperative economics. 1:12:41.560 --> 1:12:44.920 You understand me that, yes, we understand that it's not 1:12:45.080 --> 1:12:49.680 easy for a person to okay, stop working with these people, to. 1:12:49.760 --> 1:12:50.720 Just go do your own thing. 1:12:51.120 --> 1:12:53.719 Sacrifices the parency, the bottle life you want to wheel 1:12:53.800 --> 1:12:55.519 into the type of world we want to live, there's 1:12:55.600 --> 1:12:56.960 going to have to be sacrifice. 1:12:57.040 --> 1:12:57.960 Some area you. 1:12:58.040 --> 1:13:02.120 Can't maintain comfort ability right in won't change at the 1:13:02.160 --> 1:13:05.439 same time. And that's the chief issue is that when 1:13:05.520 --> 1:13:08.200 we look over there, you realize that damn most of 1:13:08.280 --> 1:13:10.800 those people in those positions, they're too comfortable to want 1:13:10.960 --> 1:13:14.479 real radical change. And the people that get to observe 1:13:14.600 --> 1:13:16.920 the effects that it has on cultures, like, no, all 1:13:17.000 --> 1:13:19.760 of that shit needs to change. How many times that 1:13:19.880 --> 1:13:24.960 we blame the victims and entertainment and sports you understand me, 1:13:25.040 --> 1:13:28.439 and hip hop hole for taking bad, bad contracts that 1:13:28.560 --> 1:13:29.639 turned them into slaves. 1:13:30.080 --> 1:13:33.160 Not for once did we out the people that wrote 1:13:33.200 --> 1:13:34.519 the contracts. 1:13:35.160 --> 1:13:38.040 You understand me. So we even victimize our own people 1:13:38.120 --> 1:13:41.280 for being taken advantage of while everybody else in they 1:13:41.320 --> 1:13:43.559 family get to eat off of it, chill at night, 1:13:44.000 --> 1:13:46.920 be quiet, while this person now gets ostracized from making 1:13:46.960 --> 1:13:49.679 a bad decision because he was taking advantage of because 1:13:49.680 --> 1:13:51.920 that's where he comes from, poverty, and that's where they 1:13:52.000 --> 1:13:55.000 target us. So it's like, now we have to create 1:13:55.080 --> 1:13:58.479 our own systems, you understand me, our own institutions so 1:13:58.560 --> 1:14:02.639 that we can rule ourselves. That's it. There's no other 1:14:02.720 --> 1:14:05.960 way to get around it. Like inclusion is great, you 1:14:06.080 --> 1:14:07.720 understand me, but ownership is better. 1:14:10.840 --> 1:14:14.320 I agree? I agree. So before we end this, live 1:14:15.040 --> 1:14:19.320 from a solution from a couple of solutions standpoint block chain. 1:14:19.760 --> 1:14:22.080 So you talk about that investments a little bit, but 1:14:22.200 --> 1:14:25.519 talk about how you think bringing it full circle back 1:14:25.560 --> 1:14:28.720 to twenty twenty two, talk about how you think the 1:14:28.800 --> 1:14:31.519 blockchain can actually you know, because nothing's gonna change overnight, 1:14:31.520 --> 1:14:36.719 there's no like one solution, right, blockchain technology can actually 1:14:36.880 --> 1:14:37.919 lead to some progress. 1:14:38.680 --> 1:14:40.519 Well, you know the beauty of it because the blockchain, 1:14:40.640 --> 1:14:44.320 you can go solution by solution by solution right in 1:14:44.439 --> 1:14:47.639 different areas, in different industries. So let's say specifically hip hop, 1:14:47.760 --> 1:14:49.920 we've seen what Nas did with his NFT drop. 1:14:49.960 --> 1:14:51.200 He dropped it on the blockchain. 1:14:51.680 --> 1:14:54.479 You understand me. It executes the smart contract, and the 1:14:54.520 --> 1:14:58.080 smart contract was written that basically you have royalties and 1:14:58.160 --> 1:14:59.400 some rights to his songs. 1:15:00.040 --> 1:15:03.160 Understand me that you'll get paid dividends for owning. 1:15:02.960 --> 1:15:06.800 This particular NFT because it's going to verify and it's 1:15:06.840 --> 1:15:10.960 going to execute whatever's written inside that. So and now 1:15:11.000 --> 1:15:14.919 we're seeing Meek Mills dropping his mixtape on the blockchain. 1:15:15.560 --> 1:15:18.640 So the blockchain now becomes the new distribution. 1:15:19.320 --> 1:15:22.439 Right, Everybody who's at earshot that heard that the same 1:15:22.479 --> 1:15:23.960 way Tory Lanez was able to do it. 1:15:24.400 --> 1:15:26.840 Right, Everybody who heard that oh Snap, I. 1:15:26.840 --> 1:15:28.560 Don't have to buy it on iTunes, I don't have 1:15:28.640 --> 1:15:30.799 to buy it on Spotify, I don't have to buy. 1:15:30.640 --> 1:15:34.400 It anywhere else. I can go directly buy it on blockchain. 1:15:34.040 --> 1:15:37.520 Which is owned by nobody. You understand Me is decentralized, 1:15:37.640 --> 1:15:40.360 meaning that basically it's owned by everybody because everybody can 1:15:40.439 --> 1:15:43.200 have access to it. Nobody stores the information. It can 1:15:43.240 --> 1:15:45.360 take it away from you. Once you buy it, it's 1:15:45.439 --> 1:15:47.280 yours and that information is stored. 1:15:47.120 --> 1:15:47.600 Only to you. 1:15:48.240 --> 1:15:50.599 So now all of the artists can decide whenever they 1:15:50.680 --> 1:15:53.759 get out they contracts you understand Me and new artists 1:15:53.760 --> 1:15:56.880 that's coming up, they can create completely new business models 1:15:57.160 --> 1:16:00.600 of how they operate. Right, So the mark would be 1:16:00.840 --> 1:16:04.160 social media just getting the attention, but the new distribution 1:16:04.600 --> 1:16:06.439 has nothing to do with the label labels. 1:16:06.600 --> 1:16:10.320 Essentially, people that give you loans with bad interest rates you. 1:16:10.360 --> 1:16:14.080 Understand me, and and take way too much of your 1:16:14.160 --> 1:16:17.240 business even though you executed everything and you the talent 1:16:17.360 --> 1:16:19.360 and the whole nove. That's like a bank saying that, 1:16:19.400 --> 1:16:20.960 all right, I'm gonna give you a million dollars, but 1:16:21.000 --> 1:16:24.160 I want to cut off everything you sell like, ain't 1:16:24.200 --> 1:16:26.400 nobody taking that deal from no, banks, ain't no way 1:16:26.400 --> 1:16:28.880 you negotiating that with me. But that's how they've been 1:16:28.960 --> 1:16:32.000 able to historically get off on rappers because they knew 1:16:32.040 --> 1:16:34.360 nothing of the business. So instead of saying that you 1:16:34.439 --> 1:16:36.800 know what, I don't want the bank, you understand me, 1:16:37.040 --> 1:16:39.599 the new bank becomes decentralized where the people can give 1:16:39.680 --> 1:16:43.040 the loans to the rappers. You understand me saying that listen, 1:16:43.120 --> 1:16:45.680 I love your music, all right, and because I love 1:16:45.720 --> 1:16:48.000 your music as much, of course, I'm gonna buy into 1:16:48.040 --> 1:16:50.360 your NERT or your token that's connected. 1:16:50.000 --> 1:16:51.519 To the distribution of your music. 1:16:52.000 --> 1:16:54.280 The rappers can take that and utilize that towards their 1:16:54.360 --> 1:16:57.440 marketing budget, towards the A and R, towards their own development, 1:16:57.520 --> 1:17:00.679 their tour and everything. They can rec connect that same 1:17:00.800 --> 1:17:03.640 merge to those same projects on the blockchain. Right, they 1:17:03.680 --> 1:17:08.800 can incentivize and create communities. Right, because the biggest and 1:17:08.880 --> 1:17:10.760 most beautiful thing that we've seen out of something like 1:17:10.800 --> 1:17:14.479 this NFT ways is the community aspect of it. I 1:17:14.560 --> 1:17:16.960 had a thesis that everything that was luxury is going 1:17:17.040 --> 1:17:19.960 to become a business model standard. Right, So country clubs 1:17:20.000 --> 1:17:23.720 were luxury. Now NFTs are the new country clubs, right, 1:17:24.000 --> 1:17:26.719 Rappers we know have huge fan bases. I'm talking about 1:17:26.800 --> 1:17:29.240 millions upon millions. We've seen John Legend had to give 1:17:29.320 --> 1:17:31.400 up his masters, or he didn't have to, but he 1:17:31.520 --> 1:17:35.160 sold it right, But he got what eighteen million followers 1:17:35.200 --> 1:17:38.560 on Twitter, eighteen million followers on Instagram. Why couldn't he 1:17:38.720 --> 1:17:41.200 generate the community, take that same number that they were 1:17:41.240 --> 1:17:44.200 going to pay him, and create him a dial a decentralized, 1:17:44.200 --> 1:17:47.640 autonomous organization that's connected to the royalties and rights of 1:17:47.680 --> 1:17:49.840 all his music and the people that listens to it. 1:17:50.479 --> 1:17:52.240 There's a way that he can connect that and he 1:17:52.280 --> 1:17:54.240 can get royalties and he can get paid off of it. 1:17:54.960 --> 1:17:58.560 Essentially, what I'm saying is every business model right that 1:17:59.000 --> 1:18:02.080 he's sent historically has robbed us. We can now find 1:18:02.120 --> 1:18:03.920 a way to take advantage of by putting it on 1:18:04.000 --> 1:18:05.040 the blockchain. 1:18:04.600 --> 1:18:05.679 And taking out the middleman. 1:18:06.160 --> 1:18:09.760 They already showed us every business model that works right now, 1:18:09.800 --> 1:18:12.120 we're just saying that instead of this label that robs us, 1:18:12.360 --> 1:18:15.639 let's put that on the blockchain. It's now decentralized because 1:18:15.680 --> 1:18:19.040 with the smart contracts, the NFTs, the DOWS, the blockchain, 1:18:19.439 --> 1:18:21.720 and all these other new protocols that we can use 1:18:21.840 --> 1:18:25.880 for us to continue to utilize old systems is willingly 1:18:25.960 --> 1:18:30.080 putting ourselves into slavery if we want to go. We've 1:18:30.400 --> 1:18:33.800 historically talked about black owned businesses that take their extra 1:18:33.840 --> 1:18:36.720 strategies and sell to white owned companies. We can now 1:18:36.800 --> 1:18:38.920 take those same block owned businesses that want to have 1:18:39.040 --> 1:18:41.280 an extra strategy and sell. But we can credit dow 1:18:41.720 --> 1:18:44.120 where it's connected to a token and all people buy 1:18:44.240 --> 1:18:47.320 in these tokens and they have governance where they get 1:18:47.360 --> 1:18:49.040 the vote on what goes into the money. 1:18:49.160 --> 1:18:51.360 So we get a pot of one hundred million dollars 1:18:51.400 --> 1:18:52.960 and we'd be like, you know what, I like you, 1:18:53.360 --> 1:18:54.320 I love what they doing. 1:18:54.960 --> 1:18:57.040 This dow that's owned by the people who owned by 1:18:57.080 --> 1:18:58.960 your fans, and the people that watch it. Say, you 1:18:59.040 --> 1:19:01.880 know what, we want to offer y'all fifty million dollars 1:19:02.240 --> 1:19:04.599 to sell us twenty percent because I'm going to valuate 1:19:04.720 --> 1:19:08.240 y'all good. Yes, we'll give you a good evaluation. Fifty 1:19:08.280 --> 1:19:11.720 million dollars for twenty percent. Right, y'all still get the run, 1:19:11.880 --> 1:19:15.320 manage you keep eighty percent, and do whatever y'all want 1:19:15.400 --> 1:19:17.880 to do. But now the people get to share in 1:19:18.040 --> 1:19:20.320 that profit. And everybody who owns a token based on 1:19:20.400 --> 1:19:24.920 their percentage of ownership can now benefit right from this 1:19:25.120 --> 1:19:27.800 company existing, and that means that y'all no longer have 1:19:27.920 --> 1:19:31.000 to take or any company period no longer have to 1:19:31.080 --> 1:19:34.280 take money that they don't want to take. Right black 1:19:34.400 --> 1:19:38.679 media companies are looking for ad dollars right now, there's 1:19:39.160 --> 1:19:42.120 barely any what they call black unicorn VC funds, And 1:19:42.200 --> 1:19:45.160 these VC funds are venture capitalist funds that run billions 1:19:45.240 --> 1:19:48.400 and billions and billions of dollars. These billions of dollars 1:19:48.520 --> 1:19:52.559 goes towards everybody else's ideas but ours, right, So it's 1:19:52.600 --> 1:19:54.800 hard for us to get the capital and the resources 1:19:54.840 --> 1:19:58.120 to really build out big ideas. But if we look 1:19:58.160 --> 1:20:00.840 at just in our community with the forty five plus 1:20:00.960 --> 1:20:03.479 million people that exist, and we say, listen, we got 1:20:03.560 --> 1:20:06.599 one point five tree and spending power, well, we can 1:20:06.680 --> 1:20:08.720 take a tenth of that twenty percent of that and 1:20:08.840 --> 1:20:11.439 we can start putting into businesses and start funding all 1:20:11.520 --> 1:20:12.879 of the businesses that exist. 1:20:12.720 --> 1:20:13.720 Within our communities. 1:20:14.520 --> 1:20:16.760 Jeff Bezos was able to get to the point he's 1:20:16.800 --> 1:20:20.599 at because his parents were investors and they gave that man, 1:20:20.640 --> 1:20:22.440 I think it was what five hundred thousand. 1:20:22.160 --> 1:20:25.080 Dollars at the time, something around two hundred and fifty thousand. 1:20:25.240 --> 1:20:26.080 It was a big number. 1:20:26.400 --> 1:20:28.439 Then the rest of the people and his family, he went. 1:20:28.360 --> 1:20:30.320 And lobby to try to get about fifty thousand for 1:20:30.400 --> 1:20:32.760 each one of them, raising about a million dollars so 1:20:32.880 --> 1:20:35.360 that he can start a digital library in a time 1:20:35.400 --> 1:20:37.200 where it made no sense and they had nothing to 1:20:37.240 --> 1:20:39.400 do with his degree, but they said, we're gonna take 1:20:39.439 --> 1:20:42.320 that risk. We can now have the ability to take 1:20:42.360 --> 1:20:45.599 those same risks and start funding our own world. That's 1:20:45.680 --> 1:20:47.839 what we do when we see somebody in our community 1:20:47.920 --> 1:20:50.599 that we love to see, and we'll be like, damn, 1:20:50.640 --> 1:20:52.880 I love but I wish they had more media behind them. 1:20:52.880 --> 1:20:54.640 I wish they had a bigger budget to do more 1:20:54.680 --> 1:20:56.880 of this, Like I would love to see an HBO 1:20:57.040 --> 1:20:59.320 type shows with the type of peers that we have, 1:20:59.520 --> 1:21:01.879 so we can run it up and have more influence 1:21:01.920 --> 1:21:04.160 where the people can say, you know what, I'm going 1:21:04.240 --> 1:21:07.040 to invest in this particular fund over here. And then 1:21:07.080 --> 1:21:09.400 at the end of the day, now we can we 1:21:09.479 --> 1:21:11.479 can vote on which person we want to get the 1:21:11.560 --> 1:21:12.759 loans to or ity't. 1:21:12.520 --> 1:21:14.160 Even got to be a loan, it can be a grant, 1:21:14.680 --> 1:21:15.400 you understand me. 1:21:16.040 --> 1:21:20.080 And so the blockchain allows us to create solutions where 1:21:20.200 --> 1:21:24.040 otherwise it wouldn't have been possible because guess what it had. 1:21:24.360 --> 1:21:27.760 The blockchain has been proven up until this point right 1:21:27.920 --> 1:21:31.200 to not be hackable. So one of the biggest issues 1:21:31.240 --> 1:21:33.800 that we have in our community is trust. If you 1:21:33.880 --> 1:21:36.840 wanted to do something with your family right now, right, 1:21:37.160 --> 1:21:39.160 the trust's gonna be the biggest problem. I don't know 1:21:39.200 --> 1:21:43.160 if I can trust that's our thing. That's all low frequency. 1:21:43.200 --> 1:21:43.600 It comes in. 1:21:43.680 --> 1:21:45.720 That's that's the quick voice that come in. I don't 1:21:45.760 --> 1:21:48.720 know if I can trust these ys, right, but if 1:21:48.760 --> 1:21:51.200 you put it on the blockchain, I don't have to 1:21:51.200 --> 1:21:51.960 trust you no more. 1:21:52.120 --> 1:21:54.400 So we're gonna create a smart contract that say, listen, 1:21:55.160 --> 1:21:56.880 let's say we can connect our paychecks. 1:21:57.200 --> 1:21:59.160 That's why it's supposed smart contract. 1:21:59.040 --> 1:22:02.040 Our contracts, and we can connect our paychecks. 1:22:02.200 --> 1:22:02.320 Right. 1:22:02.400 --> 1:22:04.400 And let's say we're going to allocate twenty percent to 1:22:04.560 --> 1:22:07.960 investments now before and when does this money get allocated? Right, 1:22:08.120 --> 1:22:10.439 Let's say that one of the people in there is 1:22:10.439 --> 1:22:13.519 a strategist or earner where they learned about stocks or 1:22:13.520 --> 1:22:15.840 they learned about crypto, and they say, okay, the person 1:22:15.920 --> 1:22:17.960 that learns about crypto, I want you all to manage 1:22:18.040 --> 1:22:19.400 what cryptos we buy into. 1:22:19.920 --> 1:22:23.160 Now this person doesn't get autonomy to just pick and decide. 1:22:23.680 --> 1:22:25.680 All of these wiles will be connected to where each 1:22:25.760 --> 1:22:28.880 time a person tries to change something, everybody that has 1:22:28.920 --> 1:22:30.000 a wallet has to. 1:22:30.040 --> 1:22:31.519 Click except right. 1:22:31.920 --> 1:22:35.519 So now nobody can't do any fraudulent or greedy things 1:22:35.600 --> 1:22:37.160 to steal from one another because. 1:22:36.960 --> 1:22:38.160 Everybody has to agree. 1:22:38.680 --> 1:22:38.840 Right. 1:22:39.400 --> 1:22:41.920 So, now you just created a system to where y'all 1:22:41.920 --> 1:22:45.360 can have your own fund in each household in America. 1:22:46.000 --> 1:22:46.160 Right. 1:22:46.800 --> 1:22:49.760 These things were not available to us until the blockchain 1:22:49.840 --> 1:22:52.240 created this leisure system to where we can put all 1:22:52.400 --> 1:22:56.200 data in transactions in a transparent manner, and it's what 1:22:56.320 --> 1:22:58.960 they call immutable. So for me, I look at the 1:22:59.000 --> 1:23:02.559 blockchain to say that every single problem that we once had, 1:23:02.800 --> 1:23:06.040 we can find a creative way to solve it utilizing 1:23:06.120 --> 1:23:10.320 blockchain technology. People think like we talk about the metaverse. 1:23:10.360 --> 1:23:12.559 Some people don't like the metaverse because they don't understand 1:23:12.600 --> 1:23:13.160 it right. 1:23:13.920 --> 1:23:16.240 And at the end of the day, we can utilize 1:23:16.240 --> 1:23:19.640 the metaverse to solve different issues and problems, even PTSD 1:23:19.720 --> 1:23:21.160 and mental health issues that exist. 1:23:21.680 --> 1:23:24.799 It might be hard to get people to go into nature. 1:23:24.920 --> 1:23:26.840 I would love for every person that got an issue 1:23:26.880 --> 1:23:29.439 of metaverse to go spend ten hours in nature a 1:23:29.520 --> 1:23:31.840 week at least, because I know that average person doesn't. 1:23:33.080 --> 1:23:35.960 But there's ways and studies that they are utilizing that. 1:23:36.000 --> 1:23:39.320 Particular technology to help solve PTSD, and that exists in 1:23:39.360 --> 1:23:43.080 the hood rapidly. Right, we can solve issues and supply 1:23:43.240 --> 1:23:45.679 chain issues all around the world because they're going to change. 1:23:46.000 --> 1:23:48.479 They trying to figure out right now, because I believe 1:23:48.520 --> 1:23:51.080 the supply chain is like a fifty trillion dollar industry. 1:23:51.600 --> 1:23:56.040 Right to put everything on the blockchain, make it more trustable, safe, secure, 1:23:56.240 --> 1:23:57.880 transparent right now. 1:23:58.240 --> 1:23:59.920 If you do that, there's ways that you can look 1:24:00.080 --> 1:24:00.880 at every. 1:24:02.680 --> 1:24:05.800 Food desert that exists in America, and food deserts is 1:24:05.840 --> 1:24:08.760 when you have a when you don't have a proximity 1:24:08.840 --> 1:24:10.280 to nutrient available foods. 1:24:10.760 --> 1:24:12.960 So doctor Wesley did a great report. 1:24:13.080 --> 1:24:15.680 It's on zip codes in America and it shows a 1:24:15.760 --> 1:24:19.000 distance between these zip codes right in these food deserts. 1:24:19.400 --> 1:24:21.880 So if you can pinpoint each and every single one 1:24:21.960 --> 1:24:23.040 on the map, you. 1:24:23.080 --> 1:24:24.800 Can say, you know what all we have to do 1:24:25.040 --> 1:24:27.960 is close the distance between this person needing to get 1:24:28.000 --> 1:24:30.559 something nutrient available in this person, so you can fill 1:24:30.600 --> 1:24:33.080 the gaps by putting a bodega in there, and then 1:24:33.120 --> 1:24:35.200 the supply chain in the food can be connected to 1:24:35.360 --> 1:24:38.280 farms that are connected to the blockchain that are sending 1:24:38.360 --> 1:24:41.080 and servicing food. So when this one runs out, it'll 1:24:41.080 --> 1:24:44.599 have an automated system to start fulfilling. So even if 1:24:44.640 --> 1:24:46.519 you don't follow everything on what I'm saying in the 1:24:46.560 --> 1:24:49.000 whole system, you start to understand that, wait a minute, 1:24:49.880 --> 1:24:52.479 the food issue is connected to the criminal issue, it's 1:24:52.520 --> 1:24:55.160 connected to the household, It's connected to so many different 1:24:55.240 --> 1:24:58.120 things that we want to see. So by solving one problem, 1:24:58.400 --> 1:25:01.880 we actually solve a thousand problem. You understand me, And 1:25:02.000 --> 1:25:06.360 so for me, I want us to be intelligent enough 1:25:06.479 --> 1:25:09.240 to think about and intelligence is really solving problems in 1:25:09.280 --> 1:25:12.280 the future, your ability to solve problems, that's how you 1:25:12.360 --> 1:25:15.400 want to measure your intelligence. So we can't consider ourselves 1:25:15.439 --> 1:25:17.920 an intelligent people unless we have the ability to solve 1:25:17.960 --> 1:25:21.440 our problems. And I don't want us to be consistently 1:25:21.560 --> 1:25:25.439 reacting to technology and how everybody else is using it, 1:25:25.960 --> 1:25:27.880 but we never think about how we can use it. 1:25:27.920 --> 1:25:28.799 To solve our problems. 1:25:28.880 --> 1:25:32.240 Even NFTs, like I've never looked at NFTs as art projects. 1:25:32.360 --> 1:25:34.479 A lot of people have, right, I've. 1:25:34.400 --> 1:25:37.320 Always looked at NFTs or ways to build communities, to 1:25:37.520 --> 1:25:40.840 create IPOs and new brands and new business models and 1:25:41.040 --> 1:25:44.080 do more a charity. Like, I'm gonna give y'all this 1:25:44.200 --> 1:25:47.680 last thought process because I know for a fact that 1:25:47.720 --> 1:25:49.519 there's gonna be a point in time where everybody has 1:25:49.640 --> 1:25:54.080 NFTs and they will right So right now, you know, 1:25:54.160 --> 1:25:56.679 if you go on the internet and you show yourself 1:25:56.720 --> 1:25:59.200 giving a dollar to a homeless person, people have an 1:25:59.240 --> 1:26:01.960 issue with you showing that type of charity off right, 1:26:02.400 --> 1:26:04.240 But at the end of the day, I think this 1:26:04.400 --> 1:26:07.640 will get to a point where we transparent with the 1:26:07.880 --> 1:26:10.400 mine charity that we do give and how we give 1:26:11.120 --> 1:26:13.760 that I would love for my wallet and the sense 1:26:13.760 --> 1:26:16.720 it's gonna be transparent on the blockchain anyway, Then why 1:26:16.760 --> 1:26:19.920 wouldn't I have Why would not buy NFT connected to 1:26:20.000 --> 1:26:24.960 a program that helps with physical abuse right of women 1:26:25.439 --> 1:26:26.320 across America? 1:26:26.880 --> 1:26:27.000 Right? 1:26:27.080 --> 1:26:30.040 Hell yeah, I got that NFT, and that means that 1:26:30.120 --> 1:26:32.479 if everybody in America got that NFT, then that's just 1:26:32.520 --> 1:26:34.920 a billion dollars that just got fundy to help solve 1:26:35.000 --> 1:26:37.320 those issues. Or they go in there and they do 1:26:37.560 --> 1:26:41.920 violence intervention programs, in America, right, Like, now we have 1:26:42.080 --> 1:26:43.840 a way to say that. All right, I'm putting my 1:26:43.880 --> 1:26:45.680 money where I say my mind is where I say 1:26:45.760 --> 1:26:49.400 my heart is right. So you got the social aspect, 1:26:49.880 --> 1:26:52.920 then you have the philanthropic aspect. You understand me. 1:26:53.040 --> 1:26:55.760 Then you add the technology in and it allows all of. 1:26:55.880 --> 1:26:58.880 Us to say that, you know what, I'm diversified in 1:26:58.960 --> 1:27:01.320 the ways that I think I can help humanity. You 1:27:01.400 --> 1:27:04.600 understand me, and we can solve so many problems tomorrow 1:27:04.800 --> 1:27:08.800 today if we decide to actually use technology to solve 1:27:08.840 --> 1:27:09.439 our problems. 1:27:10.479 --> 1:27:12.639 It's crazy to say that because you said a lot 1:27:12.720 --> 1:27:15.800 first and foremost, But when you asked, I gotta go, 1:27:17.840 --> 1:27:19.840 I feel I feel like me and Troy was on 1:27:19.920 --> 1:27:25.640 a conference call earlier and the same exact thing that 1:27:25.720 --> 1:27:27.840 you that you spoke about as far as the nas 1:27:27.880 --> 1:27:30.760 I feel think or that's what we were talking about. 1:27:30.760 --> 1:27:34.360 We were speaking to somebody and I was kind of explaining, like, 1:27:34.560 --> 1:27:36.680 you know, this is a way, this is like this 1:27:36.800 --> 1:27:40.880 could be like the new wave of ventionure capital, but 1:27:41.040 --> 1:27:44.320 for the public, this is the new wave I po 1:27:44.479 --> 1:27:46.400 but instead of going to the stock market, it's like 1:27:47.000 --> 1:27:51.519 the public is getting That's something that's extremely interesting to me, 1:27:52.040 --> 1:27:54.160 and I feel like that right there could be a 1:27:54.240 --> 1:27:55.240 complete game changer. 1:27:55.800 --> 1:27:59.800 Yes, absolutely, because you know I call them intellectual property opportunities. 1:28:00.520 --> 1:28:02.360 You understand me, Like, that's the way for you to 1:28:02.400 --> 1:28:06.839 get your IP, your intellectual property on the market, because 1:28:07.000 --> 1:28:09.960 we already know that they got it our priced to 1:28:10.000 --> 1:28:13.080 where the average person came by into these situations, you 1:28:13.160 --> 1:28:15.960 understand me. And at the end of the day, it 1:28:16.040 --> 1:28:19.600 shouldn't be where there's a dictatorship that tells us what 1:28:19.720 --> 1:28:22.840 opportunities we can and cannot take. Just because a person 1:28:23.040 --> 1:28:25.320 is not making a million dollars two hundred and fifty 1:28:25.320 --> 1:28:27.640 dollars thousand dollars doesn't mean that they can't see a 1:28:27.680 --> 1:28:30.080 good opportunity you understand me, in front of them, and 1:28:30.240 --> 1:28:32.280 that they shouldn't be involved in it, and that only 1:28:32.360 --> 1:28:35.559 the people who are already successful shouldn't have the ability 1:28:35.600 --> 1:28:38.559 to get involved in these opportunities. And that's the issue, 1:28:38.600 --> 1:28:41.600 is that our economic models are broken, you understand me, 1:28:42.040 --> 1:28:45.479 and they only serve a certain class. And blockchain is 1:28:45.560 --> 1:28:48.839 basically a technology that can be utilized to serve all classes, 1:28:48.880 --> 1:28:50.640 which is why the government trying to regulate it. 1:28:51.600 --> 1:28:53.280 Russia said that they was go get rid of it, 1:28:53.400 --> 1:28:55.679 and then he was like, no, we not. We about 1:28:55.680 --> 1:28:57.799 to use his minding and we're gonna regulate the crypto. 1:28:58.200 --> 1:29:01.080 You understand me, because there's an eco war going on, 1:29:01.680 --> 1:29:04.040 and so instead of us getting caught up in that, 1:29:04.520 --> 1:29:07.479 we can also make decisions for ourselves, like once you 1:29:07.560 --> 1:29:11.040 put it on, the blockchain can't truly be regulated. You understanding, 1:29:11.080 --> 1:29:13.280 there's always going to be ways to get around things 1:29:13.320 --> 1:29:16.000 and loopholes, and things can become so big that the 1:29:16.080 --> 1:29:18.519 people always have more power than the government. But we 1:29:18.640 --> 1:29:22.040 got to a point where the government makes themselves seem 1:29:22.080 --> 1:29:24.320 as if they have more power than the people, and 1:29:24.680 --> 1:29:27.040 that was a reverse psychology that was put on as 1:29:27.080 --> 1:29:28.680 a veil and a trick over the minds of the 1:29:28.720 --> 1:29:30.240 people that never think that they have power. 1:29:30.320 --> 1:29:32.240 They have to go with every decision that comes from 1:29:32.280 --> 1:29:32.599 the top. 1:29:33.240 --> 1:29:36.320 And that's why people love blockchain because it is a 1:29:36.360 --> 1:29:40.880 complete disruption of this talitarian ship that we currently live 1:29:40.960 --> 1:29:44.800 in where everything is on our corporations and institutions. One 1:29:44.840 --> 1:29:46.559 of the biggest things that we've seen is an issue 1:29:46.600 --> 1:29:49.960 before was like, how the hell can you know the 1:29:50.439 --> 1:29:54.160 millanative people in America do business with our African brothers 1:29:54.200 --> 1:29:57.160 and sisters on the motherland. Right, we see in seventy 1:29:57.200 --> 1:29:59.960 thousand square foot getting put up by Jeff Bezos in Africa. 1:30:00.120 --> 1:30:01.840 You about to go over there and build rob all 1:30:01.920 --> 1:30:05.640 resources and try to take over everything. So it's like 1:30:06.479 --> 1:30:09.639 we can have an established token of cryptocurrency that allows 1:30:09.760 --> 1:30:12.360 us to circulate money back and forth between our economies 1:30:12.560 --> 1:30:15.840 easily to where we can take a look at all 1:30:15.880 --> 1:30:18.040 of the land, put that on the blockchain, where there's 1:30:18.080 --> 1:30:19.439 a grid of all of the land, and we can 1:30:19.520 --> 1:30:22.000 decide to buy up on it. A person can create 1:30:22.120 --> 1:30:25.200 concept architecture on what we want to be built. They 1:30:25.240 --> 1:30:27.160 can build it first in the metaverse. 1:30:26.720 --> 1:30:28.639 And we decide that yes, we like the way this look. 1:30:28.880 --> 1:30:31.360 Everybody can tour that's an investor, and then they can 1:30:31.439 --> 1:30:33.559 decide to buy it in real life and it becomes 1:30:33.680 --> 1:30:37.920 physical things that get built up, like once we realize 1:30:37.960 --> 1:30:41.479 that they already created airplanes and we can literally pop 1:30:41.520 --> 1:30:43.800 on a plane and sit for a few hours and 1:30:43.880 --> 1:30:46.000 then get off the plane and we can visit there 1:30:46.600 --> 1:30:49.120 like there's no issue because we can now be also 1:30:49.280 --> 1:30:53.040 issued passports and have secondary citizenship over there. You understand, 1:30:53.080 --> 1:30:55.600 it's like the blockchain has made the world smaller and 1:30:55.720 --> 1:30:59.880 created an opportunity for everybody to do business with each other. Right, 1:31:00.200 --> 1:31:03.240 and the infrastructure. When you talk about rap, rappers have 1:31:03.400 --> 1:31:07.479 no they ain't touched the continent. Right, Like if you 1:31:07.600 --> 1:31:10.120 want to go over to Africa you talk about rap, 1:31:10.200 --> 1:31:14.520 how much streaming is missing from having an African continent. 1:31:15.320 --> 1:31:17.759 Not even from the rap standpoint, from the podcast standpoint. 1:31:17.760 --> 1:31:21.759 Also because like went to Nigeria, shout out to Bizio 1:31:21.920 --> 1:31:25.120 David Oh, I said, my whole crew out in Nigeria. 1:31:25.160 --> 1:31:27.960 We went to We went to Nigeria and they was 1:31:28.040 --> 1:31:29.680 they was letting me know what's going on with the 1:31:29.760 --> 1:31:31.960 podcast that hey, we like Earn your Leashes in the 1:31:32.040 --> 1:31:36.400 top of like all African countries. Not just the fact, 1:31:36.439 --> 1:31:38.040 but the thing about it is that so they were 1:31:38.080 --> 1:31:41.240 showing me like the top African podcast. It was like 1:31:41.280 --> 1:31:43.680 these two girls, I forget the name, but they was like, 1:31:43.720 --> 1:31:46.160 they're not the only They're not just the biggest podcast 1:31:46.439 --> 1:31:50.160 in Nigeria, the biggest podcast in West Africa. Yeah. So 1:31:50.600 --> 1:31:54.920 looking at their social media and they have fourteen thousand followers, 1:31:56.120 --> 1:32:02.880 I'm realizing is that podcasting is still on a infancy 1:32:03.560 --> 1:32:07.320 stage out there, Like the priority of people still not 1:32:07.439 --> 1:32:10.800 really listening to podcast like that. So media, the media 1:32:10.880 --> 1:32:12.960 opportunities overseas, and this is why, Like when you see 1:32:13.040 --> 1:32:15.559 US go to Jamaica, when you see us go to Nigeria, 1:32:15.840 --> 1:32:17.960 when you see us go to Egypt, all these different places. 1:32:17.960 --> 1:32:20.160 We got a bunch of other places that were about 1:32:20.200 --> 1:32:22.120 to actually go to We're going. We can't talk about 1:32:22.120 --> 1:32:23.960 that yet, but when you see us going to these 1:32:23.960 --> 1:32:26.360 different places, it's not just to have vacations and talk 1:32:26.439 --> 1:32:28.519 to cool people. It's to actually get a layer of 1:32:28.520 --> 1:32:29.880 the land. Because when I was looking at it, and 1:32:29.960 --> 1:32:34.040 I'm like, ernr Lisia is number one in Boswana, number 1:32:34.120 --> 1:32:37.960 three in South Africa, number ten in UK, number six 1:32:38.040 --> 1:32:41.439 in Canada, number one in Jamaica. So at first it's like, oh, 1:32:41.520 --> 1:32:43.400 we you know, we let we number one all over 1:32:43.439 --> 1:32:45.120 the world. But then I start to actually really think 1:32:45.160 --> 1:32:47.040 about it and like what does that really mean? So 1:32:47.160 --> 1:32:50.439 now why are we number one in countries where the 1:32:50.600 --> 1:32:53.080 vast majority of the information that we're talking about is 1:32:53.120 --> 1:32:55.280 not really even relevant to that country, Like they have 1:32:55.360 --> 1:32:57.639 their own real estate system, they have their own tax system. 1:32:57.880 --> 1:33:01.080 It's different, it's different. But then I'm realizing that there's 1:33:01.120 --> 1:33:04.400 no alternative. So it's just like you go to France 1:33:04.439 --> 1:33:07.360 and they love hip hop. A lot of speak English, 1:33:07.400 --> 1:33:11.080 but they'll listen to Little Baby, and there's not really 1:33:11.320 --> 1:33:14.400 like an alternative, Like there's France hip hop, but it's 1:33:14.479 --> 1:33:16.800 not on the level of American hip hop. So they 1:33:16.880 --> 1:33:19.880 listen to the American hip hop because that's all they 1:33:19.960 --> 1:33:23.080 really have, right So like this is like that right 1:33:23.120 --> 1:33:26.400 where it's like they're listening to Earn Relsia because from 1:33:26.439 --> 1:33:29.719 a Black cultural perspective, talking about business, talking about financing, 1:33:30.120 --> 1:33:33.240 there's not there's not an alternative on the level that 1:33:33.360 --> 1:33:36.479 we're on right now. So I'm like, that's a that's 1:33:36.520 --> 1:33:39.400 a tremendous opportunity because it's like when you look in America, 1:33:40.120 --> 1:33:42.840 there's what the sixty million black people, I think something 1:33:42.920 --> 1:33:44.760 like that. I'm not sure forty five million or something 1:33:44.800 --> 1:33:44.920 like that. 1:33:45.439 --> 1:33:47.000 We'll go get up there, we start to have more. 1:33:46.920 --> 1:33:51.559 Babies, all right. But in one country of Nigeria, which 1:33:51.600 --> 1:33:54.160 is the most populated black country in the world, there's 1:33:54.200 --> 1:33:59.360 two hundred and ten million black people. So but even 1:33:59.479 --> 1:34:03.000 peeling back delay is even further. Eighty percent of the 1:34:03.120 --> 1:34:08.599 population is under twenty one, ninety percent of the population 1:34:08.760 --> 1:34:09.960 is under eighteen. 1:34:10.600 --> 1:34:15.080 So this is why they're saying, our continent, Africa. 1:34:14.720 --> 1:34:18.280 Is the only continent that has a positive birth rate, 1:34:18.880 --> 1:34:22.280 like every other continent, like the European continents they have, 1:34:22.400 --> 1:34:25.519 they have Asia, they have a negative birth rate, like 1:34:25.680 --> 1:34:28.479 more people are dying than are being born. This is 1:34:28.520 --> 1:34:30.879 why they immigration. This is why they have to let immigrant. 1:34:30.920 --> 1:34:34.000 This is this is this is the whole interesting thing 1:34:34.120 --> 1:34:39.160 with Europe's immigration policy. They don't want to let immigrants in, 1:34:39.600 --> 1:34:41.680 but they have no choice but to let immigrants in 1:34:41.960 --> 1:34:46.599 because they're not producing enough people. And it's like these people, 1:34:46.880 --> 1:34:50.439 you colonize their country, taught them your language. This is 1:34:50.479 --> 1:34:55.320 why like the countries in Africa that speak French, they 1:34:55.479 --> 1:34:58.040 they're going to France, the countries that speak Attep, they're 1:34:58.040 --> 1:34:59.880 going to like the countries that speak English, they're going 1:35:00.160 --> 1:35:03.960 it because you colonize their country. You you forced those 1:35:04.000 --> 1:35:07.479 people into a system that you you gave them, You 1:35:07.640 --> 1:35:10.320 gave them a language, you gave them a culture. So 1:35:10.520 --> 1:35:14.000 now you mad because they're coming They coming to home. 1:35:14.080 --> 1:35:17.519 That's that's their home, right Like yeah, over their country 1:35:18.120 --> 1:35:20.320 taught them how to speak French, that's not their language. 1:35:20.600 --> 1:35:23.240 So when they when they when they're leaving the conditions 1:35:23.280 --> 1:35:25.200 that they're under where they're gonna go. They gonna go 1:35:25.240 --> 1:35:29.200 to France, that's a fact. They're gonna go to England. 1:35:29.439 --> 1:35:32.200 So I think I have to say it's a tremendous 1:35:32.280 --> 1:35:38.160 opportunity for like US an immediate standpoint, from a global perspective, 1:35:39.200 --> 1:35:42.360 like America is cool, But when you start to look 1:35:42.360 --> 1:35:45.559 at a continent like Africa, that's the whole entire continent. 1:35:46.400 --> 1:35:48.680 So all you need is a small percentage of the 1:35:48.800 --> 1:35:52.160 continent to have way more of an impact than you 1:35:52.280 --> 1:35:53.799 have in one country of America. 1:35:54.840 --> 1:35:55.439 That's a fact. 1:35:55.560 --> 1:35:57.479 I mean, I was just looking it up and they 1:35:57.560 --> 1:36:01.080 say they you know, it's like one point in twenty sixteen, 1:36:01.120 --> 1:36:04.960 the population was one point two billion, right, and then 1:36:05.040 --> 1:36:08.000 that population got to be like one point four billion now, right, 1:36:09.720 --> 1:36:10.719 That is a lot of people. 1:36:10.760 --> 1:36:12.040 And that's only second to Asia. 1:36:12.240 --> 1:36:14.920 Right, And of course we know Asia is running things 1:36:15.040 --> 1:36:17.439 right now, you understand me, as far as their country, 1:36:17.880 --> 1:36:20.360 the money that they have, the resources, the technology that 1:36:20.479 --> 1:36:23.400 they have, and Africa is such a fertile land. 1:36:23.479 --> 1:36:27.479 There's so many opportunities that America is cool. Right at 1:36:27.520 --> 1:36:29.960 the end of the day, you know this, we built this. 1:36:30.040 --> 1:36:33.320 Country so we have, and some of us was already 1:36:33.360 --> 1:36:35.759 loyal to the soil before they got here. Before Columbus 1:36:35.840 --> 1:36:37.840 got lost on this country thinking that the Indians was 1:36:37.880 --> 1:36:38.880 from India and everything. 1:36:38.960 --> 1:36:39.800 But we know the history. 1:36:40.439 --> 1:36:43.360 So at the end of the day, we have to 1:36:43.439 --> 1:36:46.480 start looking at this whole entire planet as an opportunity 1:36:46.560 --> 1:36:49.240 for us to be able to move a mobilize on. Right, 1:36:49.439 --> 1:36:51.840 like every other culture looks at the planet, right, the 1:36:51.960 --> 1:36:54.519 rulers of the country look at the planet. They don't stop, Oh, 1:36:54.600 --> 1:36:56.600 I got one bank in America. No, they got a 1:36:56.680 --> 1:36:59.880 bank everywhere. You understand. They don't say, well, we're doing 1:37:00.120 --> 1:37:02.360 local business. You know, they doing global business. They got 1:37:02.439 --> 1:37:05.200 to make sure they have a base everywhere. So it's 1:37:05.320 --> 1:37:09.120 like when it comes to that, how many others. You know, 1:37:09.400 --> 1:37:11.040 most of the time people take their first trip is 1:37:11.080 --> 1:37:13.200 to go to Italy. They can't wait to go see 1:37:13.200 --> 1:37:16.479 a European country. Now go to a place that actually 1:37:16.560 --> 1:37:18.719 has roots, because where you go to has an effect 1:37:18.840 --> 1:37:22.040 on your physiology, has an effect on your mind, and 1:37:22.760 --> 1:37:26.280 atmosphere changes and how it conditions you. It's hard to 1:37:26.439 --> 1:37:29.280 be a man of a culture without actually going and 1:37:29.360 --> 1:37:32.360 seeking the cultures around the world. You understand me, and 1:37:33.800 --> 1:37:38.000 habiting for some time and doing participant observation, you understand me, 1:37:38.479 --> 1:37:40.360 and that puts us in a different mind frame. 1:37:40.439 --> 1:37:43.479 And we know for a fact that if we take a. 1:37:44.280 --> 1:37:46.559 Mass exodus, right, they don't have to be an exodus 1:37:46.600 --> 1:37:49.680 where everybody stay, but some people that do better there. Right, 1:37:49.720 --> 1:37:53.559 It's like, why suffer you understand me over here when 1:37:53.560 --> 1:37:55.360 you can thrive over there because a lot of the 1:37:55.439 --> 1:37:58.160 skill sets that we have can do better and more 1:37:58.240 --> 1:38:01.120 fertile places to where the company TISSI is not as high. 1:38:01.479 --> 1:38:04.760 And our education can be used as a resource to 1:38:04.840 --> 1:38:07.120 help educate, not to educate, but to help build. 1:38:07.880 --> 1:38:08.000 Right. 1:38:08.080 --> 1:38:10.400 It's like, at the same time, I don't want, you know, 1:38:10.560 --> 1:38:11.760 the ignorance of our masters. 1:38:11.800 --> 1:38:13.160 They got a couple of dollars to go out there, 1:38:13.200 --> 1:38:14.960 but I know some folks that have one out there 1:38:15.240 --> 1:38:17.120 and they built when they get out there. 1:38:17.560 --> 1:38:20.479 When we went to Nigeria, we met a bunch of 1:38:20.560 --> 1:38:24.479 people from America. One guy from Chicago, Jersey. 1:38:25.040 --> 1:38:27.040 And what was they doing? 1:38:27.840 --> 1:38:33.360 They driving? They driving Lamborghinis. They live. Guy from Jersey 1:38:33.560 --> 1:38:37.559 he was actually cybersecurity. He had a cybersecurity background in America. 1:38:37.840 --> 1:38:39.479 He went out there. You know a lot of these countries, 1:38:39.479 --> 1:38:41.840 the infrastructure is not really in place. Took over the 1:38:41.880 --> 1:38:45.040 whole cybersecurity system for the government, Like he's like the 1:38:45.240 --> 1:38:49.600 government cybersecurity for Nigeria. He got he got up, he 1:38:49.720 --> 1:38:57.840 sent the you know they living, you know living, it's different, different, different, 1:38:58.720 --> 1:39:00.640 So yeah, I mean, it's opportunities all over the world, bro, 1:39:00.760 --> 1:39:03.160 And that's like anywhere. Like I went to Asia in 1:39:03.240 --> 1:39:06.240 twenty seventeen. I went to Asia for thirty days. I 1:39:06.280 --> 1:39:09.680 went to five different countries and that really changed my 1:39:09.760 --> 1:39:13.880 life because just being around different cultures and experiencing different 1:39:13.920 --> 1:39:17.720 things and seeing eating different food and understand that, you know, 1:39:17.840 --> 1:39:20.920 America is only a small part of the world. It's 1:39:21.000 --> 1:39:24.040 not we look at America like this is this is everything, 1:39:24.360 --> 1:39:27.760 because this is all we know. But the world is big, 1:39:28.320 --> 1:39:30.800 and it's you got to actually see the world to 1:39:30.880 --> 1:39:34.400 appreciate the world, the opportunities and for what you have, 1:39:34.520 --> 1:39:36.720 because you know, we do have luxuries in America that 1:39:37.160 --> 1:39:39.400 other people don't have, so it's important to appreciate what 1:39:39.479 --> 1:39:44.240 you have. But from a business standpoint, there's so many 1:39:44.320 --> 1:39:46.559 opportunities all over the world, and I'm starting to see 1:39:46.560 --> 1:39:48.559 that more and more. That's why it's like our travel 1:39:49.200 --> 1:39:52.519 is like it's cool to go to Atlanta, to go 1:39:52.640 --> 1:39:56.800 to La but let's go to Africa. Let's let's go 1:39:56.960 --> 1:40:00.280 to Let's go to Europe, Let's go to Jamaica, Let's 1:40:00.280 --> 1:40:03.400 go to you know, Colombia, like these different parts of 1:40:03.439 --> 1:40:06.719 the world where it's like when we're talking about leadership, 1:40:07.360 --> 1:40:09.880 the leadership has no borders. 1:40:11.280 --> 1:40:16.920 All over, especially now, because I mean, if you're from 1:40:16.960 --> 1:40:19.320 another country, drop your flag, you understand me, and drop 1:40:19.439 --> 1:40:22.040 the name of it because you know, I remember the 1:40:22.120 --> 1:40:25.120 first time I went to South Africa. The first day 1:40:25.200 --> 1:40:27.800 I got there, you understand me. I went to the 1:40:27.920 --> 1:40:29.880 mall and it was this girl that stopped me. 1:40:29.960 --> 1:40:30.600 She's like, oh my. 1:40:30.720 --> 1:40:32.519 God, my boyfriend loves you. 1:40:32.600 --> 1:40:33.680 Can I take a pictures with you? 1:40:34.000 --> 1:40:36.320 My accent terrible, So don't judge me. You feel me. 1:40:36.880 --> 1:40:38.840 I be all over the world, so my accent just 1:40:38.920 --> 1:40:42.080 be jumping you'll talking about But no, it was love 1:40:42.160 --> 1:40:44.000 and it was energy, you understand me. 1:40:44.240 --> 1:40:46.200 And that's when I probably had maybe like forty thousand 1:40:46.280 --> 1:40:49.040 followers or something of that nature. I wouldn't even understand 1:40:49.080 --> 1:40:51.479 me moving how I'm mobilized now, but the people are 1:40:51.520 --> 1:40:54.040 tapped in all over I mean. 1:40:54.000 --> 1:40:57.720 We threw events in Puerto Rico. You understand me last year. 1:40:57.960 --> 1:40:59.840 You understand me, and the amount of black people that's 1:41:00.160 --> 1:41:03.080 there is astonishing. You understand me our meditated people that 1:41:03.240 --> 1:41:04.120 exist out there. 1:41:04.560 --> 1:41:08.320 And cut you off. But it's not just black people too. 1:41:08.880 --> 1:41:10.920 That's that we gotta we gotta get out of that 1:41:11.000 --> 1:41:16.120 mindset too. Where our message, our message, I'm gonna speak 1:41:16.160 --> 1:41:20.400 for Erni Lisha. Our message is not only four black people. 1:41:20.920 --> 1:41:24.559 Our our message is a world, a world message. Now, 1:41:24.840 --> 1:41:27.320 of course black people is going to be the four 1:41:27.560 --> 1:41:30.559 first and foremost because that's who we are. So they 1:41:30.760 --> 1:41:33.479 understand the way that we talk. That's our coach can 1:41:33.560 --> 1:41:36.679 never apologize for that. But they do that all the time. 1:41:37.160 --> 1:41:39.320 Where they will limit you to a black it's the 1:41:39.439 --> 1:41:43.960 black financial advisor, the black lawyer, the black doctor, and 1:41:44.040 --> 1:41:45.960 you could as a black doctor, you can only have 1:41:46.120 --> 1:41:48.719 black lives. I never see I was a financial advisor. 1:41:49.600 --> 1:41:55.080 I never seen like there's different levels of racism. There's 1:41:55.120 --> 1:41:58.040 different levels of racism. Like I never forget a guy 1:41:58.240 --> 1:42:02.760 was talking to me and he was like emotional clients black. Now, 1:42:02.840 --> 1:42:07.400 granted most of my clients were black, but why would 1:42:07.439 --> 1:42:11.559 you assume, right because if I was Italian, you wouldn't 1:42:11.600 --> 1:42:14.519 just automatically assume that all my clients are Italian. That's 1:42:14.560 --> 1:42:20.599 the difference. Even other quote unquote minorities agents, anybody else 1:42:20.800 --> 1:42:23.360 has a free range to do whatever they want. If 1:42:23.400 --> 1:42:26.400 you come from India, you can work with white people, 1:42:26.520 --> 1:42:30.200 you can work with Italians, you could work with Hispanic people, 1:42:30.360 --> 1:42:33.560 it doesn't matter. Black people. They love to put you 1:42:33.680 --> 1:42:36.560 in that box of black and once you get at it, 1:42:36.680 --> 1:42:39.040 once you're in the box of black, you're never getting out. 1:42:39.280 --> 1:42:42.360 Your only your message is only for black people. You 1:42:42.439 --> 1:42:45.879 can only work with black people. People that's only interested 1:42:45.920 --> 1:42:48.360 in your messages black people. And we gotta get out 1:42:48.400 --> 1:42:53.640 of that because the world is big. Our message not 1:42:53.880 --> 1:42:56.720 just for black people. Our message in financial literacy is 1:42:56.760 --> 1:43:02.920 for every race, every religion, every whoever wants to partake 1:43:03.040 --> 1:43:05.240 in it. Now, if you decide that you don't want 1:43:05.240 --> 1:43:07.840 to partake in it, that's up to you, whether you white, black, 1:43:08.040 --> 1:43:12.080 or whatever. But the voice that we have, the voice 1:43:12.120 --> 1:43:15.360 that you have, you're not a black leader, You're a 1:43:15.479 --> 1:43:19.000 world leader. Like the message that you're talking about, you're 1:43:19.040 --> 1:43:23.679 talking about NFT's cryptocurrency, the metaverse liberation. This is stuff 1:43:23.720 --> 1:43:26.479 that people in Poland can understand. This is stuff that 1:43:26.520 --> 1:43:28.240 people in Russia need to hear. This is stuff that 1:43:28.280 --> 1:43:30.400 people in Mexico need to hear. This is stuff that 1:43:30.520 --> 1:43:32.160 people all over the world need to hear. So I 1:43:32.240 --> 1:43:33.760 just wanted to put that out there because it's like, 1:43:33.840 --> 1:43:36.040 sometimes that's how I feel. I don't know how anybody 1:43:36.040 --> 1:43:38.800 else feels that. That's how I feel. We can't lid 1:43:38.880 --> 1:43:44.320 ourselves to just one particular race of people. This is 1:43:44.360 --> 1:43:49.280 a world message that everybody needs to hear and everybody 1:43:49.360 --> 1:43:50.120 can benefit from. 1:43:50.360 --> 1:43:52.120 You know, yesterday I got on the car because I 1:43:52.160 --> 1:43:54.759 got an email for a booking man and they wanted 1:43:54.840 --> 1:43:59.400 me to help them promote this metaverse event that they 1:43:59.520 --> 1:43:59.840 was having. 1:44:00.080 --> 1:44:02.439 They wanted me to essentially be a speaker. 1:44:03.200 --> 1:44:07.400 And I took the car and this sixteen year old kid, 1:44:07.960 --> 1:44:11.040 you understand me, He explained how, you know, he started 1:44:11.080 --> 1:44:16.600 his business flipping shoes and wholesaling, and he built it 1:44:16.680 --> 1:44:16.880 up to. 1:44:16.920 --> 1:44:19.680 A three hundred thousand dollar business. Understand me. 1:44:19.760 --> 1:44:23.080 And then how his friend recommended me because that he'd 1:44:23.120 --> 1:44:25.760 been watching how I move as a thought leader. Blase, 1:44:26.520 --> 1:44:29.679 I mean very very impressed. Because Bru had old spill. 1:44:29.800 --> 1:44:31.760 He had a whole breakdown. He had a whole vision 1:44:31.800 --> 1:44:33.320 towards everything. He had a pivot. 1:44:34.120 --> 1:44:35.720 He was game type and. 1:44:35.800 --> 1:44:38.080 As I'm listening, I could tell it wasn't a black kid. 1:44:38.120 --> 1:44:40.639 On the other end, I didn't know whether he was white, 1:44:40.960 --> 1:44:44.200 but he ended up, I believe being hispanic understand me 1:44:44.840 --> 1:44:47.440 and for my message. 1:44:47.360 --> 1:44:48.439 And for the game that I given. 1:44:48.680 --> 1:44:51.360 I will honestly say when I first started off, it's 1:44:51.360 --> 1:44:55.439 one hundred percent just our courture. But what happens is 1:44:55.479 --> 1:44:59.200 when you have a universal message, all people who can 1:44:59.320 --> 1:45:04.200 benefit from tap into it because I can't. It's rare 1:45:04.280 --> 1:45:06.280 for me to have an event where it's in person 1:45:06.720 --> 1:45:09.800 you understand me, where you're not going to see all 1:45:09.880 --> 1:45:12.880 different colors and spectrums of people. That's just a fact. 1:45:13.120 --> 1:45:15.720 When I went to the UK, it was this white kid. 1:45:16.200 --> 1:45:18.280 He came from the Netherlands. 1:45:18.360 --> 1:45:21.280 He hopped on the train always for the Netherlands to 1:45:21.479 --> 1:45:24.680 come connect by some merchant. Come to the event, you 1:45:24.800 --> 1:45:27.720 understand me, And that's the scariest thing that they hate 1:45:27.760 --> 1:45:29.439 for the for the most part, they want to box 1:45:29.520 --> 1:45:31.600 you in because they don't want you to have that 1:45:31.720 --> 1:45:34.600 ability like Fred Hampton had where he can speak to 1:45:34.680 --> 1:45:37.560 all people. He had he he had the air, the KKK, 1:45:38.120 --> 1:45:41.599 he had, he had the Hispanics, you understanding, he had 1:45:41.640 --> 1:45:44.000 the black folks, Yes, he had the poor whites, he 1:45:44.080 --> 1:45:46.760 had everybody because he had a message of liberation for 1:45:46.880 --> 1:45:50.200 all against tyranny and oppression. You understand me. And so 1:45:50.439 --> 1:45:54.560 anytime you have a universal message that is valuable and 1:45:54.680 --> 1:45:57.320 you speak from a place of good consciousness, you're going 1:45:57.400 --> 1:46:00.880 to relate to anybody that is tap into that same frequency. 1:46:01.280 --> 1:46:04.519 And then that's when we transcend the boxes and the 1:46:04.640 --> 1:46:06.960 labels and anything they try to put us under. Because 1:46:07.000 --> 1:46:09.120 at the end of the day, you know, I'm a 1:46:09.200 --> 1:46:13.320 copper color. You understand me, melanated original men, right, and 1:46:13.640 --> 1:46:16.640 we know that you know, the color system at the 1:46:16.760 --> 1:46:18.400 end of the day, is used as. 1:46:18.280 --> 1:46:19.080 A tool. 1:46:20.320 --> 1:46:26.480 In legallys in language, you understand me, to to minimize 1:46:26.760 --> 1:46:29.280 what we can do in society. That's a fact. It's 1:46:29.320 --> 1:46:31.439 a certain reasons why we only have verting rights and 1:46:31.520 --> 1:46:34.200 blacks have voting rights because we're not considered in the 1:46:34.240 --> 1:46:36.000 same pool as all Americans. 1:46:36.479 --> 1:46:38.120 Right, But that's a whole nother conversation. 1:46:38.360 --> 1:46:41.519 So once you understand things on a higher level, we 1:46:41.560 --> 1:46:44.040 don't get stuck on racial consciousness because that's the lowest 1:46:44.080 --> 1:46:45.320 form of observation, is to. 1:46:45.880 --> 1:46:47.160 Stare at what's physical. 1:46:47.720 --> 1:46:50.400 Understand me. We transcend that, and now we have a 1:46:50.520 --> 1:46:53.360 message that allows us to change the world, because changing 1:46:53.400 --> 1:46:55.960 the world looks like changing the minds. And once we 1:46:56.040 --> 1:46:58.439 can reach the minds of the people, then that means 1:46:58.479 --> 1:47:01.360 that everybody benefits that want to raise their vibration to 1:47:01.439 --> 1:47:02.280 a higher frequency. 1:47:02.439 --> 1:47:05.000 I want to learn how to manage themselves at higher levels. 1:47:05.479 --> 1:47:08.120 And that's why we have the success that we have 1:47:08.320 --> 1:47:10.840 today is because our message is transcended. 1:47:12.680 --> 1:47:18.400 Yeah, that's right on point, my brother. There's oppressed people 1:47:18.439 --> 1:47:21.040 all over the world, man every society, in every country. 1:47:21.560 --> 1:47:23.439 And that's one thing that you learn when you travel 1:47:23.479 --> 1:47:25.200 to there's more poor people in this world and there's 1:47:25.280 --> 1:47:30.360 rich people in this world. So or it doesn't matter 1:47:30.439 --> 1:47:32.720 who's gonna help you, you know, as long as you're 1:47:32.760 --> 1:47:36.200 not you know, stuck in that ignorant mindset, you're gonna 1:47:36.240 --> 1:47:39.240 take the help and you're looking for help, actually you 1:47:39.640 --> 1:47:43.760 actually so whoever it comes from. And that's another thing too. 1:47:43.800 --> 1:47:45.640 It's like, you know, we we always hear like a 1:47:45.760 --> 1:47:48.920 savior and a lot of times we've been programming think 1:47:48.960 --> 1:47:51.120 that a savior is a white person that's a. 1:47:51.200 --> 1:47:53.800 Savior, But that's a savior complex. 1:47:54.640 --> 1:47:58.320 Yeah, so it's like, but if a savior, it could 1:47:58.320 --> 1:47:59.600 be a white person and save it could be a 1:47:59.600 --> 1:47:59.960 black person. 1:48:00.080 --> 1:48:03.080 Shit save you. 1:48:03.439 --> 1:48:05.360 I mean that's you know what I want to say. 1:48:05.400 --> 1:48:07.840 This last thing, Man, we got we got soldiers all 1:48:07.880 --> 1:48:10.960 around the world with shot you understand me, like real 1:48:11.080 --> 1:48:13.840 soldiers that that are really understand me, go there for 1:48:14.040 --> 1:48:15.599 is and a lot of people that's just one hundred 1:48:15.640 --> 1:48:18.599 percent loyal because of what we've been able to put 1:48:18.640 --> 1:48:21.840 into the atmosphere that have affected people lives understand me, 1:48:21.920 --> 1:48:24.320 and it's beautiful, and we have to realize that we 1:48:24.479 --> 1:48:26.640 truly are backed by the people. And if people have 1:48:26.760 --> 1:48:29.680 to understand that, if you ever want a movement to win, 1:48:29.920 --> 1:48:32.320 you have to back those you understand me who are 1:48:32.360 --> 1:48:35.080 at the forefront. The reason that a lot the Black 1:48:35.120 --> 1:48:39.720 Panthers fail and in some way because once they were 1:48:39.800 --> 1:48:41.639 no longer the hot topic in front of the eyes 1:48:41.720 --> 1:48:47.960 of the people, they were left understand me to be 1:48:48.120 --> 1:48:52.479 taking advantage of by the FBI and also not having 1:48:52.640 --> 1:48:54.680 jobs and can't go get a job. The people no 1:48:54.800 --> 1:48:57.360 longer back them. But when they was in front of it, 1:48:57.600 --> 1:49:00.640 the people back them, you understand me. And so we 1:49:00.800 --> 1:49:03.200 have to create this culture to where the people are 1:49:03.280 --> 1:49:05.160 backing the leaders as much as the leaders are back 1:49:05.200 --> 1:49:08.560 in the people. You understand me, Because we can't have 1:49:08.720 --> 1:49:11.040 things where they just here for a moment. Y'all have 1:49:11.160 --> 1:49:13.680 to put a responsibility on us to never fail. At 1:49:13.720 --> 1:49:16.160 the same time, the same way we put a responsibility 1:49:16.200 --> 1:49:19.599 on y'all to not fail, to stay focused, to stay 1:49:19.680 --> 1:49:21.960 tapped in. It has to be a two way streak. 1:49:22.000 --> 1:49:24.680 It has to be a relationship, you understand me. That's 1:49:24.720 --> 1:49:26.639 the only way that this thing is going to work. 1:49:27.280 --> 1:49:29.320 We not saying that I'm not the savior of the 1:49:29.360 --> 1:49:31.280 curt Y. I only teach you how to save yourself. 1:49:31.680 --> 1:49:34.720 That's not my goal. I don't have a cake, you 1:49:34.840 --> 1:49:38.679 understand me. I'm not flying around trying to save nobody. 1:49:38.800 --> 1:49:40.800 I'm trying to teach you how to save yourself. And 1:49:40.840 --> 1:49:42.559 if I can get you to think as no Withdrawal 1:49:42.720 --> 1:49:43.519 least said, you. 1:49:43.600 --> 1:49:46.640 Can but save yourself. You understand me, And that's how 1:49:46.720 --> 1:49:49.240 we get to that ultimate level of enlightenment. 1:49:49.280 --> 1:49:51.040 But I need everybody to be a soldier for their 1:49:51.080 --> 1:49:53.800 own campaign, and I need y'all to also back the 1:49:53.880 --> 1:49:56.120 people that y'all believe in. You understand me. 1:49:56.200 --> 1:49:59.320 Whether it's spiritually, whether it's physically, whether it's financially, you 1:49:59.439 --> 1:49:59.920 understand me. 1:50:00.320 --> 1:50:03.280 Be there in assistance when people say protect them at 1:50:03.320 --> 1:50:06.240 all costs, you are the ones that protect it. You 1:50:06.360 --> 1:50:08.880 understand me. Don't wait for somebody else to do something 1:50:08.960 --> 1:50:12.280 that you believe in, Like that's our goal. Each person 1:50:12.439 --> 1:50:14.400 has to be a part of this campaign, not an 1:50:14.439 --> 1:50:15.200 observer of it. 1:50:15.400 --> 1:50:19.000 We not the politicians. I'm not a preacher, you understand me. 1:50:19.160 --> 1:50:20.000 I'm not a minister. 1:50:20.439 --> 1:50:23.599 You understand me. I'm nineteen keys. That's for Shah beloved. 1:50:23.600 --> 1:50:25.200 I can't speak for my brother, but I know for 1:50:25.280 --> 1:50:28.400 a fact that he's not to himself as your savior 1:50:28.479 --> 1:50:32.560 and walking around that he that's your job, but this 1:50:32.720 --> 1:50:34.200 the opportunity to do it yourself. 1:50:35.600 --> 1:50:38.719 There you have it, Dadian gentlemen.
