00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: I'm doing well. How are you sir?

36
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: Okay? Cool? Explanation? What exactly is United Clinical Research.

37
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: NONY Clinical Research is a site a clinical trial site

38
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: management company that works with pharmaceutical companies clinical resource research

39
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 3: organizations in order to specifically find my more minorities for

40
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: clinical trials. That's why we're in business.

41
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: Okay, So break down a little bit more. When you

42
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: say you want minorities to participate in tests, or what

43
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: is it your trial? The word trials, what is the

44
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: word trials?

45
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: Good question, good good questions. So to make it simple,

46
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: what we want to do is there are thousands upon

47
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 3: thousands of what we call human subject research trials. Right.

48
00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 3: The trial is a medical unapproved medication that has to

49
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: go through the proper testing in order for the FDA

50
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 3: to approve it. What my company does is assist those organizations,

51
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 3: the pharmaceutical companies we call them CROs, the clinical research organizations,

52
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 3: to find minorities to participate in those clinical trials.

53
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that you do. I gotta dive a little

54
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: deeper on this, mister Fikes, because you know, you know,

55
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: I looked at your background, you know, in nineteen ninety four,

56
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: a graduate of Tuskegee University, Okay, and I'm African American black,

57
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: you know, and when you start using the word trials,

58
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: start use word tests around black people, we get real

59
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: suspicious and we don't want to be bothered with that.

60
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: Now you've started a company, I believe that. I believe

61
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: that at all my heart. Now you can tell me

62
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: that's why I brought you on the show to help

63
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: me and help you because we want to break down

64
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: a lot of stereotype. Because we got to get people

65
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: to sign up for these trials in order for us

66
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: to find cures, for us to find health remedies so

67
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: our community can live longer. Because we found out doing

68
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: COVID a lot of things. That was the reason we

69
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: was high on the lift of people dying or people

70
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: succeptible took OVID nineteen was because of our diabetes, high

71
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: blood pressure, you know, weight issues and things like that.

72
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: And so that's what this whole world of clinical trials

73
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: was really important to talk about.

74
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: Correct. That is correct, and let me interject and tell

75
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 3: you that he is. The people are not wrong for

76
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 3: what we feel rightay, many of us, many of us

77
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: say the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, when it really should be

78
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 3: termed the civilists experiment at Tuskegee. And what happened was

79
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: there were six hundred black men in nineteen thirty two,

80
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 3: a portion of them did not have syphiless, and more

81
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: than half had syphiless. Ten years later, eleven years later,

82
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 3: in nineteen forty three, when penicillin became the common treatment

83
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: for syphilis. Guess what those more than two hundred and

84
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 3: fifty men that had siblists, they were not given the penicillin. Now,

85
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 3: that started the chain of events that lasted for forty

86
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 3: years until nineteen seventy two until somebody said, hey, this

87
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 3: is crazy, this has to stop. So just that grievance

88
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 3: alone has caused a lot of issues with due reason

89
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: in our communities. So you know, I want to tell

90
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: people that what you feel is is true. It happened,

91
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 3: but I'm here to talk about some things that have

92
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: been put in place to change that whole paradise.

93
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: Right Because the one thing about it is, you know,

94
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: I always try to bring individuals when the show that

95
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: moved a needle, okay, United clinical research. You know, I'm

96
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: involved with a lot of programs with sickle sale. I

97
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: have a sickle cell trade and so always trying to

98
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: find out a cure. So you need people for clinical

99
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: research in order to be engaged. I'm not saying that's

100
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: what this is involved in right now, but I know

101
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: that's important to get people engaged to find out if

102
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,679
Speaker 1: we're hitting in the right direction. Now with that being said,

103
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: because you know, because I'll be honest when I before

104
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: the interview, I called mister Fikes. I said, mister fight,

105
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 1: he is the lane of questions. I'm going to ask

106
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: because in my mind I want to know and I

107
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: want to make sure you're comfortable. We said we share.

108
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: Look at it, brother, I know for a fact the

109
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: question you asked God to be asked, and I'm going

110
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: to answer them because they are true. It did happen

111
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: in tuski had nothing, nothing to do with the university,

112
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: had nothing to do with Tuskegee Airmen. This happened in

113
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: the city of Tuskegee, and it gets lumped into that

114
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: whole Tuskegee world. And so you're you've come out of

115
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: here become a leader, founded this United Clinical Research. What

116
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: is the goal of United Clinical Research?

117
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: You know, I have a long term goal, but the

118
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: more immediate goal is I want to help at least

119
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 3: ten thousand minority individuals. Now, let me say this. I

120
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: don't discriminate, Okay, we're all one, homogeneous people, Okay, but

121
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 3: this company was founded on the purpose of helping minorities,

122
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 3: people of darker melanin people. You know, I want to

123
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: help us find medications, find studies, human subject research, studies

124
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 3: that can possibly save their grandparents, that could possibly save

125
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: their parents, that could save a child even you know,

126
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 3: I've been blessed to have the background and the knowledge

127
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 3: that there are there are angels who have put together

128
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: some of these medications, and people can take that for

129
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 3: what it's worth, but there is healing in some of

130
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: these medications, whether people want to believe it or not.

131
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 3: My background is in biology and chemistry, so the science

132
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: of it, I know there are science that can save lives.

133
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: And my job is to number one, show people, show

134
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 3: black people that look, what happened in the past cannot

135
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: possibly happen in the future. And these are the steps

136
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: that the government that we as a people have put

137
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 3: in place. The biggest thing is called informed consent. But

138
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: we can get into that if you want.

139
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely, because I think that's important in order for people

140
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: to understand they are protected.

141
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: Now correct, correct, they are protected, And for this reason

142
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: and this reason only, I'm really moving forward and trying

143
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 3: to position that if you know, if your parent, if

144
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: you have a family member who has cancer, you have

145
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 3: a family member that has diabetes, hypertension, plaqueariasis, anything. I

146
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: want my company to be the company that you reach

147
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 3: out to to say hey, can you help me and

148
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,080

149
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 3: to help you.

150
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, I'm talking about Gordon Fikes. He's the founder

151
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: of United Clinical Research, is the one and only minority

152
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: owned clinical trial site management organization in the United States. Now,

153
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 1: when you use the word help, you know because we've

154
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: been talking about trials and is help getting them into

155
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: a trial? Are there other ways you're talking about helping

156
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: people who contact you?

157
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: So you know, there's there's been a lot of people

158
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 3: that reach out to me and say, you know what,

159
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 3: I believe in some research, but other natural pathological ways

160
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: that I can get help. You know, it's my job

161
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 3: to say, look, here are your alternatives. Yes, there are

162
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 3: some people that are doing natural studies of natural homeopathic

163
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: ways of curing things. Mean I happen to know of those.

164
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 3: My job is to provide you with choices. That's all

165
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: I can do and let you make your informed decision

166
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: on what you want to do. So that's what I

167
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 3: want to do, and for the next year, I want

168
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: to help at least ten thousand people who reach those goals.

169
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: Right now, they just broke this down, mister Fike's you

170
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: know the number ten thousand. Where did that number come from? Why?

171
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: Ten thousand?

172
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 3: You know there is I'm gonna be honest with you,

173
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: that number popped up. You know, I was really thinking

174
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: about this interview and some of the goals that I've

175
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 3: set for the company's no particularly, I really should have said,

176
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 3: I want to help as many people as possible. But

177
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 3: me knowing this, if I can hit that number, then

178
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 3: I would have done. I would have exceeded my own

179
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: expectation of how many people that I can help with

180
00:10:58,960 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 3: this process.

181
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: Now, the thing that is like, if you're being interviewed

182
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: on my show and I'm happy it syndicates on the

183
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 1: twenty HBCU Campus series x M one forty two, you

184
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: know it drops on my podcasts. So I'm giving you

185
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: a platform to educate people about the United Clinical Research.

186
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: How can one reach you? And is their website? Yes?

187
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 3: First of all, the website is under construction. However, if

00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 3: anyone that reaches out to me.

194
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: Now, but at the time, you now, this is an event.

195
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: You know, my degree is in mathematics, and so sure

196
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: you know biology, well versed in that, the sciences, well

197
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: versed in that. How does one based I know, I said,

198
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: twenty five years you've been in the pharmaceutical award winner

199
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: in the pharmaceutical field and sales and experience. But how

200
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: does one become a founder of a United clinical research

201
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: that company? Well, how did that happen?

202
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 3: You know? So seven years ago I had the privilege

203
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: of working at my alma mater as a program director

204
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: under the tutor legit mentorship of doctor Ruben Warren. And

205
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: it was during this time that we actually worked with

206
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 3: a pharmaceutical company on a project that looked at increasing

207
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: minority participation in minority individuals. This was seven years ago

208
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 3: before the FDA stepped in and started making different mandates

209
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 3: that said two pharmaceutical companies that look, you're going to

210
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: have to increase your number. So seven years ago doing

211
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 3: this work, I realized that there was an opportunity. And

212
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: then April of twenty twenty two, I read some information

213
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: from the FDA that said, hey, you know, this is not.

214
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 3: This is no longer a suggestion, This is an op

215
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 3: This is something you all are going to have to do.

216
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 3: And mister McDonald, let me tell you. When the FDA

217
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: says that is something you're going to have to do,

218
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 3: that means if you don't do it, it's going to

219
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 3: affect your bottom line, meaning that there is a possibility

220
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 3: that some medications may not get approved because you didn't

221
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 3: test an appropriate number of minorities in the trials.

222
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely correct. I'm talking to Gordon Fikes, he's the founder

223
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 1: of United Clinical Research. We were right back to you

224
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: more about the whole process. You know, he has an

225
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: event we talk about a Memphis, Tennessee where he was

226
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: attempted to break a world record for screening blood pressure

227
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: and an eight hour time perioy. That and more when

228
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: you come back on clinical trials in America done by

229
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: United Clinical Research. Welcome back to Money Making Conversations Masterclass.

230
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: This is your host with Sean McDonald. I've been speaking

231
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: to Gordon Fightights, he's the founder of United Clinical Research

232
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: and clinical trials. You know, we talked about stereotypes, rumors,

233
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: urban legends that oftentimes stops black people from participating all minorities,

234
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 1: and sometimes you have to watch the word minority because

235
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: now white women are considered minorities, and so a lot

236
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: of people don't know that, and so that word has

237
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: been allowed to be engaged in different relationships. But before

238
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: we go in there further, I have a phone call

239
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: that I want to go to right now, Beverly from Decatur.

240
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: How are you doing, Beverly?

241
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: Oh?

242
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 4: I'm well, how are you? Miss mac donald?

243
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: Welcome to Money Making Conversation master Class. You're on the

244
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 1: phone where Gordon Fikes, the founder of United Clinical Research.

245
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: What is your question?

246
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 4: My question is, if you you have blacks that are

247
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 4: willing to participate in these clinical trials, how can we

248
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 4: be assured that we are actually given the correct medicine

249
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 4: and we're not being given up placipo or or some

250
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 4: arbitrary medicine.

251
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: So that there is one thing that you can do

252
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: is once you find out that there is a possible

253
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 3: trial for you, the very first question you should ask

254
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 3: is will I be given to study drug? And based

255
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 3: on the answer of that, if you get an answer

256
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 3: that says you know it's possible or no, then at

257
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 3: that point you have to make a decision on whether

258
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 3: or not you want to, you know, be a part

259
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: of that clinical trial. But that should be one of

260
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 3: the first questions that you ask any anyone that's offering,

261
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 3: you know, such a research. Twelve four years.

262
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,479
Speaker 1: Now, Beverly, based on your question, would you consider participating

263
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: in a clinical trial?

264
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 4: Well, you know, actually, unfortunately I was streating with COVID

265
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 4: back in twenty twenty one. I want to believe, and

266
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 4: I was given the when I was because I was

267
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 4: admitted into the hospital and I was administered the rem

268
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 4: DECA there I think that's how you pronounce it. Yeah,

269
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 4: and uh, you know, and that was what they told

270
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 4: me that I was being given. And you know, eventually

271
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 4: I got better over a month or so. But I

272
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 4: still had my concerns if it was the actual medicine

273
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 4: they said it was, you know, based on our history

274
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 4: with you know, medicine or science and research.

275
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, because that's what we was talking about, you know,

276
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: it was talking about that history that rumors because they

277
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: are true in the community and mister Fis has to

278
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: fight against that. And I just want to ask you

279
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: an honest question, Beverly. Thank you for calling Money Making

280
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: Conversation master Class. You know, when you hear these, we

281
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 1: can say the word urban legends. What drives you not

282
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: to trust? What drives you in your mindset? I can't

283
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 1: feel comfortable participating, so it can help us get there,

284
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: so we can get more African Americans. Guess what this

285
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 1: is all about? African Americans? We say to my word

286
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: minority really is about African Americans?

287
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 3: What?

288
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 4: What? What?

289
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: What engages you to say yes or no as a participant.

290
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 4: Well, just some of the you know, some of the

291
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 4: stories we've read in the news, uh, you know, in

292
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 4: our history, the one that you use for an example,

293
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 4: the Tuskegee Toskegee study, and then that was and then

294
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: we just kept the we're just in the dark so

295
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 4: much about our medicine. But I can't even and I

296
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 4: can't think of the lady's name, but she played a

297
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 4: major role in cancer. I think the Harvard took some

298
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 4: of it was either John.

299
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: Read Yeah, so.

300
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 4: Her blood and all of this coming out so many,

301
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 4: you know, decades later.

302
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 3: There's just.

303
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 4: There's just quite a bit of history that leads me

304
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 4: to feel that way. And you know, and it's sad

305
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 4: because I know there are trials out that it could be,

306
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 4: you know, quite beneficial to us, but if we're scared

307
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 4: to use them, you know, how we ever know if

308
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 4: we and even sometimes my own doctors, Uh, I'm faced

309
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 4: with something now. I've been going to see the same

310
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 4: doctor for so many years and knows my history, you know,

311
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 4: backwards and forth. But I've been stricken with something that

312
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 4: I'm dealing with now right that should have been and.

313
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: Dealt with absolutely that happened to me, you know, with

314
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: my cancer discovery. You know my doctor, mister, and the

315
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: person who's doing my blood test is the one who

316
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 1: found it. And it was a doctor I was going

317
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: to over at least ten years, and I think there

318
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: was the casual relationship we had created that allowed him

319
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: to just you know, walking in door, sit down, ask

320
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: me about my life, ask me how I've been doing,

321
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: and then walk right back out there. It was the

322
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: same thing with my dinnists. So I think that what

323
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 1: mister Fike said earlier, asking the right question, making sure

324
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: you don't make assumptions, and make sure that whatever how

325
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: they respond, you're comfortable with. If the response doesn't allow

326
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: you to be comfortable, ask another question. If it leads

327
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,719
Speaker 1: to them going shrugging their shoulders or going you can

328
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: do this if if you want to, then get up

329
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: and get out. And that is and that's the bottom line, and.

330
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,439
Speaker 4: Usual that's what I do. Because I'm seeing three specialists

331
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 4: now about my well, I've gone to three and I

332
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 4: wanted to make sure I wanted to not double with

333
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 4: triple check that my eyes are being treated for what

334
00:19:55,720 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 4: is the actual diagnosis because of the lack I guess

335
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 4: the lackadaisical relationship like you said you had with your dog.

336
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, you know some Beverly, and I tell you

337
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: to everybody, and I want to thank you for calling

338
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: the show, is that the bottom line is all tied

339
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: to you and what you feel you have to do

340
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: and want to do. There are a lot of people

341
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: walking around here just like Beverly, don't want to make

342
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 1: the phone call, got ideas. I'm not gonna be bothered

343
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: with that. There are a lot of people who lost

344
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: their lives during COVID because they didn't want to wear

345
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: a mask, They didn't want to be they didn't want

346
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: to be involved in that situation. So my whole purpose

347
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: of bringing mister Fikes on the show, and you know,

348
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: I called him before the show. I said you I

349
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: told something said brother it's some urban legends out there

350
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: that just working against your dreams. That number of ten

351
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: thousand sounds good, but there's an uphill can But I said,

352
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: look here, I want to be a champion for you,

353
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: because if I can't convince you, if I can't help

354
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: you get there, then guess what somebody else needs to

355
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: step in and help you. But each one is a

356
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: leg up. It's a leg up. It's like climbing the ladder.

357
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: You can't climb the ladder unless you take one step

358
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 1: at the time. Now you can try to jump some steps,

359
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: and most time you jump some steps in the ladder,

360
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna fall off and hurt yourself. And so we're

361
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: not trying to hurt anybody. This show is an honest show.

362
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: We're inviting people to call on. And plus I wanted

363
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 1: to open up mister Fikes's eyes to the community too

364
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 1: so he can hear and go, oh, Rashan you it

365
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: really is out there, because you know we can hear.

366
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: But she the community just called in. She Beverly is community,

367
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: she's neighborhood and those same type far But also what

368
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: I heard in Beverly is that I try, I do,

369
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 1: and that's all you want, right, mister Fikes.

370
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 3: That's right, that's right. And here's something for both anyone listening.

371
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 3: I didn't share this with you earlier, mister McDonald, Miss Beverly.

372
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 3: The motto for United Critical Research is trust worthiness must

373
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 3: precede trust. So what does that mean? It's not so

374
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 3: for so long. The pharmaceuticals, even some doctors say, well,

375
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 3: those people should trust us. Now, if you walk in

376
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 3: an office and you don't feel like whoever you are

377
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 3: working with is trust worthy, walk out. We have to

378
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 3: show that we're trustworthy before you exhibit trust in anything.

379
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 3: And I want anybody to know that we have to

380
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 3: show that we're trustworthy before you trust. So I want

381
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 3: everybody to remember that.

382
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: Oh I've got a few minutes left, but I want

383
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: to make sure I talk about your Memphis vent that's

384
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: coming up. I believe, well, you want to break a

385
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: world record for screening blood pressure in an eight hour

386
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: time period. Now, you know blood pressure, that's serious. And

387
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: whenever I go to a doctor, they take my blood pressure.

388
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: In fact, I'm on blood pressure peels okay, And so

389
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: every morning I get up, I take my blood pressure pel. Again.

390
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: A lot of people, a lot of people don't understand

391
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: the power, and the blood pressure really is a silent killer.

392
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people you hear stuff like, oh,

393
00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: he looks so good. I was just talking to him

394
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: the other day. I saw him in church. He was

395
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: running and jogging and playing basketball. Well, see that's what

396
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: blood pressure will allow you to do until you keep

397
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: consistently hitting that number. And so my blood pressure pills

398
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: forced me to change my diet but also allows me

399
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: to live a normal life. But if I act stupid,

400
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm mean, use the word stupid and stop taking that pill.

401
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: Guess what I'd be one of those stories you hear about, Well,

402
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: we shall look so good. You know, I was just

403
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: eating with him, I saw him and go in the coreer,

404
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: what's wrong? What happened? And so so now you're in

405
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: Memphis trying to break a record. Tell us about this,

406
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: and I want to wish you great luck on on

407
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: on doing it, but tell us about the bigger picture

408
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 1: and when is this happening?

Speaker 3: know what this is something great for the Memphis community.

413
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 3: And along with the Memphis Grizzlies, the basketball team, we're

414
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 3: gonna try to break the world record of twenty six thousand,

415
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 3: seven hundred and forty four people were tested in India?

416
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 3: Did you hear what I said India? A few years back?

417
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,119

Speaker 3: Now.

424
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: Memphis is not a big city. Now. Now, if you

Speaker 1: told me you was coming down here and doing it

426
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, you know, Houston, or even New York because

427
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,480

428
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,280

434
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,960
