Speaker 1: Let me just get this one thing out there. Really

53
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: is pretty pretty pretty huge. I think call you a

54
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: the spokesman for the NFL Players Associate, Yes, print, television, radio,

55
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: digital and all sports related media. Correct, correct, correct, Okay,

56
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 1: you say they kind of called. I mean, you know,

57
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: I've been there for some time, so I try. I

58
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: gotta go with managing and there, but it sounds like

59
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: a lot and it is a lot. Look, so don't

60
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: don't don't don't say it sounds like a lot. This

61
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: is the number one television sport. Okay, it changes the

62
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: dynamics of a network that's broadcast. Facebook is expanding to Europe.

63
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: It plays a game annually every day every year in London,

64
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: like several games now and so so. So I can't

65
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: let you say. So you have an international brand that

66
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: you for the Players Association, you're the spokesman walkers through

67
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: that process. No, it's a real simple process because the

68
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: game is the game. But one of the things that

69
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: we focus on is just detecting the rights on wayes

70
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: of our membership. You know, tem percent of what you

71
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: see is what a player experiences on Sunday, right, and

72
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: that's the temple, the set that we want to focus

73
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: on because we want the fans to love the sport.

74
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: But when the players come off the field, that's when

75
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: we're going to impact because players are people. Try to

76
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: sometimes uh separate players just from human to but they're

77
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: really a neighbor, right, They're really your brother, there, your

78
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: your cousin, church friends. There are people that are in

79
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: society and they have issues just like everybody else, and

80
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: so we try to be there to support them, provide

81
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: resources to them to help them actually make the transition

82
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: from the field into normal society. And that's the goal

83
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: and objective every day. But also protect their rights while

84
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: they are an employed in National Football League. And that's

85
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: really key because we know we have a sharp window,

86
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: absolutely short window, so and they're no guarantees. You can

87
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: sign a long term contract a portion of its guarantee.

88
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: That's why our athletes want such a high signing bonus

89
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: so they can feel like they they've got the value

90
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: of their contract. And so when you look at US sport,

91
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: that's so short term. There's a certain level of responsibility

92
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: and sometimes you can't live up to that responsibility as

93
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: the players association. So what what what what's that balance there? Well,

94
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: the balance is now you're starting to see full term

95
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: UH contracts are being guaranteed. The look at Kirk Cousins,

96
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: you look at your your your own quarterback here Matt

97
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: Ryan designed for one hundred and fifty million, you know,

98
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: thirty a year. I mean, so guys are making money.

99
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: But the key to all of this is is managing

100
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: what you have, whether it's guaranteed, whether it's one third guaranteed,

101
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: what's full guaranteed. The important thing for us is to

102
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: have programs in place to help players understand. As you

103
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: mentioned the short term money that you make, we wanted

104
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: to make it a long term process for you and

105
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: your family and you in your in the generation behind you.

106
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: And so that's the key objective for us, because at

107
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: the end of the day, everyone is not going to

108
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: make as much money as probably the next person in

109
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: the locker room, but we can teach you how to

110
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: keep that money and preserve it for a long term goal. Okay,

111
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: here's the key. I get a lot of athletes, football players,

112
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: So that tells me that this shows about entrepreneurship absolutely,

113
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: and so I feel now there's a smarter football players

114
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: because in the what's gonna be real back in the day, nightclubs,

115
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, car washers, a lot of stuff. They would

116
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: just open it up. They had no planning, but hype

117
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: drove the investment and not the planning. The business plan

118
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: wasn't part of that process, and and and so so

119
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 1: so when I look at that, what and social media

120
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: is really is a power broker in the game of

121
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. So you're balancing all these things. What is

122
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: being set up at the organization NFL p A that

123
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: enables these players to be educated to understand the business,

124
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: the nuances of social media, the nuances of their brand,

125
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: and the power while they play and building this so

126
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: it it helps after they finished play. We have we

127
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: have a number of extended programs relationship with the group

128
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: called Financial Finess that's there to support players and give

129
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: them a basic struct and then here's the deal. We're

130
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: not when the player signs his contract. It's not objective

131
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: to say, hey, go invest in this and go invest

132
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: in this right because here's the thing you gott understand

133
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 1: in professional football and a lot of sports that's first

134
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: time generational wealth. Absolutely Abso this is not assion. This

135
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: isn't a discussion that's held in high school or elementary

136
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: school at the kitchen table of you know, what's the

137
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: what's the five or one C three or or what's

138
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: a banking statement? Like these things doesn't exist. Now you

139
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: drop a lot of money on a young man that's

140
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: two years old and say hey, manage your money, it's

141
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: very intimidating and so for us, we try to put

142
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: them in a place to start them at a very

143
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: simple place in terms of just the saving as account,

144
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: just saving. If you don't know what to do, just

145
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: put it in the bank and don't do anything until

146
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: you figure out what to do with it. And that's

147
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: really what it what it what the problem is when

148
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 1: you talk about quick money, that's quick because it comes

149
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: to you playing. And then it also doesn't come to

150
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: you year round, right, and so that means that as

151
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: a writer on TV shows, I used to work from

152
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: from June to February. Between February and May, there was

153
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: no check, so I had to learn to balance, Okay,

154
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: what's happening in that little down period. So I had

155
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,560

00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: You know, twenty two years ago you said we wanted

169
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: to You know, I've never had a chance to enact

170
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: put in the professional athletes when I was young coming

171
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: up in the Hampton Rose area, and you know, my

172
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: heroes were your large tailors, Ron Springs, Bruce Smith's, I mean,

173

Speaker 1: Kenny easily. I mean, you can go on and on, right,

174
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: but I never charged that a. So when I got

175
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: to the NFL pre I was like, you know what,

176
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: let me let me do this, and I'm gonna tell

177
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: you something. We've been hosting a football camp, free football camp,

178
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: uh for twenty two years. Never charged the kid because

179
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't think a kid just needs to pay. Now,

180
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: I'm not saying anything wrong with paying. Absolutely, That's what

181
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying is it's just in my heart. It was

182
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: my campaign because I wanted to change the heart to

183
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 1: say football maybe the catalyst, but I want what we're

184
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: telling you afterwards to be the driving goal for you

185
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: and being a productive citizen. And it has grown as

186
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: being something unbelievable. I mean even or Mike Tomlin. When

189
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: we met at the Combine and I say, listen, I'm

215
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: is electric. And one thing that's really making it exciting

216
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: is that unbelievable spaceship you guys called the Mercedes being Stadium.

217
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, facility is unbelievable. It's like it's like a spaceship.

222
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: it's it's it's unbelievable. It's crazy because there's so much

223
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: going on over there. They have trouble getting the fans

224
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: to go to the seats, you know exactly the problems

225
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: with being there for kick off. They have their party,

226
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: didn't they had? That's all that getting hot dogs and

227
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 1: just hanging out. That it's a social outside of it.

228
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: And that's what really has happened to so many events

229
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: that the stadium being built. Even know, we got Battery

230
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: Park where the Atlanta Braise you go, They've got ten

231
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,319
Speaker 1: thousand restaurants and it's an experience, and Mercedes Binds is

232
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: an experience. The game, uh is part of the process.

233
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: You know, their lord, the lord to get you know,

234
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: seventy thousand people over there one time, you're giving them

235
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: an experience. And so the super Bowl is the ultimate experience.

236
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: You're bringing it back to Atlanta. You're bringing all of

237
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: this capital when that's a capital and common revenue generator

238
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: and these things, and then you just this is known

239
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: to another city. That's what you do for the players,

240
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,360

243
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: when we come to a city meeting in the the NFL,

244
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: and what the NFL p A does is connect with

245
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: the major corporations in the area and we tell players

246
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: on tours of the facility. Like last year in Minnesota,

247
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: we took players to Target to meet the CEO, to

248
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: sit down and talk about next next steps in your life,

249

Speaker 1: and we took them on a journey and next customer

250
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:19,319
Speaker 1: service experience to understand that. I'm sure our marketing team

251

254
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: the entrepreneurship side too. It's that transition that we take

255
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: a group of players and we were in San Francisco,

256
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,400

260
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: how you can create an opportunity for yourself beyond football.

261
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: So that will happen in Atlanta to which is key

Speaker 1: for the development and which I want people to understand

263

00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: I hope you're we're motivated read a way to give

309
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: you some gems and get you on the pathway to

310
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: even more accelerated success in your life. I'm glad. I'm

311
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: glad tuning them, and I appreciate the opportunity to beat

312
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: your show. Thank you well. The great thing about it

313
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 1: is that, um, you know, like I said, I love

314
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: the fact that you're saying that, Hey man, it's time

315
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,159
Speaker 1: for the minority to be represented and have leadership in

316
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: the technol in the tech world, and why are we

317
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: failing there? Right? I gotta ask you that before we

318
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: get into the super phone talk and all that. Why

319
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: are we failing in the tech world and why are

320
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: we not being giving credit for participating in the tech world. Well,

321
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: I think it's systemic. I think I think I think

322
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 1: where technology starts, it starts with uh, it starts with

323
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: the dream and the ideation that comes from just knowing

324
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 1: that you can take an idea and without you know,

325
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: one of my good friends of Paul Judge from from Atlanta,

326
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: and he's had he's had a couple of very successful

327
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: technology exits, and one of the one of the greatest

328
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: lessons that I've learned from him is that equal off

329
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: tunity really is technology. So without land, without water, without steel,

330
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 1: without brick and mortar, you can actually build services through

331
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: technology that can create immense value. And so even for me,

332
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: it you know, I'm coming from Harvard, I didn't actually

333
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: have to have the ability to take a computer science class,

334
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: and nor did I have the mentors growing up that

335
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: really impressed upon me the incredible opportunity that technology would

336
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: empower me with in my later years. And so I

337
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: think it's important now. The reason why I'm actually doing

338
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: this podcast right now is just to let folks know

339
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: that there is a digital age that is already upon us.

340
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: There's an information age that's upon us, and in order

341
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: for us to flourish in this age, we need to

342
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 1: be prepared and we need to build a dream, the

343
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 1: impossible dreams because none of us know what a year

344
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: from now is going to look like, which means we

345
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 1: have the ability to build it. One of the one

346
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: of my favorite sayings, is that the best way to

347
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: predict the future is to invent it. And so that's

348
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 1: what we're doing that superphone. You're inventing what we believe

349
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: the future should look like. And we are doing this

350
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: based on the concept that without buildings, without without locomotives

351
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: and steel and railroads and all of the all of

352
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: the materials that were necessary to build value in the

353
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: industrial age, the information age is really just about creating

354
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 1: the most efficient way to exchange information. And we believe

355
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: that superphone, that success happened at the speed of communication,

356
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: and so there's so much information available to us. It's

357
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: about communicating information as efficiently as possible. And so I

358
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: believe it starts school, starts in our schools, it starts

359
00:19:55,600 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 1: in it starting our early childhood education program. And I

360
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: also believe in creativity being the the first that planted

361
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: in order to make us, to make us, to really

362
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: make us the kind of success kind of being technology.

363
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: I had a meeting yesterday where someone brought to my

364
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: attention or or made the comment that these jobs was

365
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: more of an artist than he was a businessman. And

366
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: when you look at the immensal excessive Apple as a

367
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: technology company, a hardware technology come in software technology company.

368
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: The creativity that that the helm means that minorities as

369
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: urban music and all the creativity and cultural influence that

370
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: we have, when it's harnessed the right way and it's

371
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 1: directed the right way, it means that you know, we

372
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: already have the makings of being incredible technologists because being

373
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: the prenoledge, this requires great imagination. But that's the imagination

374
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: needs to be tied to actual, real tactical skills of

375
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: being able to speak the language of computers. And so

376
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: that means that you have to wake up in the

377
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: same way you would learn another language like French or

378
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: any other language, Italian, you need to learn the language

379
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: of computers. So the UK two computers exactly what you

380
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 1: would like for them to do, and once you communicated once,

381
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: they will do it over and over and over and

382
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: over again at scale and be able to serve hundreds

383
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 1: of millions and even in the case of Facebook or

384
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: or what's that literally billions of people on the planet.

385
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: And so I think for us as a people, we

386
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 1: we just got a dream bigger. We've got a dream

387
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: outside of the confines of whatever we believe our current

388
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: circumstances are. And when we dream big and we apply

389
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: creativity and ingenuity, because the technical skills that we can

390
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: learn for free online, we can really start to float

391
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: the way we should. Because that's what you did, because

392
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 1: your degree is in government, correct, that's right, And so

393
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: but you you you went to Code Academy and you

394
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 1: learned online code and programming, and then that's what you're saying.

395
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: That's what you're saying to us. Okay, do allow your

396
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: your direction or that where you've been pointed, or your

397
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:21,400
Speaker 1: degree or what people expect of you to stop your ambition.

398
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: And so how just wrapping it around, how did you

399
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: perceive that that was the right place to go to

400
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: to Code Academy to put you in the right direction

401
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 1: for to really deliver all the technology that you're achieving

402
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 1: right now? Correct? Yes, I'm gonna say this in every

403
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: in every sense of the word, sir, you always look

404
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: for the highest value proposition for the time that you're

405
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: gonna put in. So even before technology, when I was

406
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: doing music, I did want to research and I said, okay, well,

407
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: how much does it cost for me to actually go

408
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: get a beat from Jermaine degree? And I think at

409
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: that time was the heyday and music industry, you know,

410
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 1: about hundred thousand million dollars. If I looked at my

411
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: bank account at the Thiland, you know, hundred thousand, quarter

412
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,719
Speaker 1: million dollars to get one beat. I might as well

413
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: teach myself how to mean and and and that's and

414
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 1: that's exactly what I did. And that is a resource

415
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: that all of us you have, so in the absence

416
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: of an end and when we apply time and we

417
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: apply time and in in in an intentional way to

418
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: achieving processing want to achieve. It's about a either finding

419
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: a mentor or a teacher that is going to invest

420
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,360
Speaker 1: that time for you, or finding online resources. And at

421
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: the time, you know, I didn't have online resources, but

422
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: you know I had digital resources and listened to the

423
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,439
Speaker 1: domain repeat on TVs and to sit there and do

424
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: my best to replicate it. And so the beauty of

425
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: the information age is that a kid right now has

426
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: more information at their fingertips than Bill Clinton had when

427
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: he was the President of the United States and office.

428
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: And so it's important for us to actually take the

429
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: access that we have that information and leverage it in

430
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: our favor. And so that means that whether you have

431
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: money or not, there are free resources online that can

432
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: teach you how to basically do anythame. You want to

433
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 1: become a photoshop expert, if you want to become an

434
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 1: Adobe Premiere pro expert, if you want to become a

435
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: pro toose expert, you want to become a quoting expert,

436
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: if you want to become an expert on science, or

437
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: an expert on literally any topic. Wikipedia, YouTube and online

438
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: resources can give you that education for free, and you

439
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: can become an expert even without spending forty or fifty

440
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: tho dollars a year for that piece of paper that

441
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 1: gives a certificate that says you're an expert. And what

442
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: you do with that knowledge is really us to you

443
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: and it's not to you, But it's also about how

444
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: you share the knowledge, right you can amount the knowledge

445
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: and and all I would say that any new value

446
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,400
Speaker 1: that's created in the world is because someone creatively put

447
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: their spin on it. And so superphone is you know,

448
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: it's superphone and novel concept. And I'm driving to New

449
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: York cities. You can hear it. You can hear the

450
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 1: cyber wins in the background. Yeah, sure, superphone is a

451
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: novel concept because of the ingenuity and creativity that's being

452
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: applied to an existing technoledge, which is right. So I'm

453
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: interested in just enabling and empowering and encouraging that next

454
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: generation of creatives to be as creative as possible and

455
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: look at problems that and challenges that the human race

456
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: is going to be facing in the future, and making

457
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: sure that you've shock in your mind so that you

458
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: can solve for challenges that we don't even know exists yet.

459
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: And that's how you're going to really create value for

460
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: the world. And when you praise value for the world,

461
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,280

525
00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: about entrepreneurship right that. I think that's why it's really

526
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: regaining such popularity now, Anthony, because this this allows artists,

527
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: especially sometimes people just want you to be the artists.

528
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: They don't want to hear the story about your entrepreneurship

529
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: background and the other layers of your life and charities

530
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: and things like that. In the various artists and and

531
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: see os and and interested decision makers know they can't

532
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: come on money making conversations and didn't get their story

533
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: told and they can tell it in a relax format.

534
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: And I'm not walking away from your success. But also

535
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: you have other layers of success, correct exactly, Yeah, branching out.

536
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: You know sometimes people don't expect it when they when

537
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: they just know you for one one thing. Um. But

538
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: being a business person, I think you always have these

539
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: creative ideas that you want to embark on. It. It's

540
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: just exciting to be able to do something else but that.

541
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: But that's that's that's the cool thing about life today

542
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 1: because of the fact that you know, especially with social media,

543
00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 1: because I want to talk about social media and your

544
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 1: brand because you know, you you come into you know,

545
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: you just you have one dream that's just be a

546
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: music artist and get your songs played on the radio.

547
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: Get that to become go, get that become plaid to

548
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: sell out arenas. But now you have this other social media,

549
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 1: this this brand relationship that you have with your fans

550
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: is not like a fan club. It's like it's immediate.

551
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: How does how has that impacted your career? Well you

552
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: get the really you know here and and read what

553
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: people really think, see it, feel it. Um, people a

554
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: post videos that I'm sending their songs or septimonies about

555
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: how the music has changed their lives. And you know,

556
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: you get to see them at the shows. They we

557
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: post the videos of them enjoying your live performances. It's

558
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: excited now when you do that. With that being said,

559
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: what is the difference today for a musical artist? Because

560
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: I get that all the time because they know what

561
00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: I've done in the business of I'm constantly being approached

562
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: by people to manage their careers or give them advice.

563
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: And there's so many different layers, so I can I

564
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,040
Speaker 1: just know when I started writing on and sitcoms and

565
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: three and what you're doing today, when I'm doing today,

566
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: it's totally different. So I can assume that if you

567
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: were breaking into the musical business today, what is different?

568
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,640
Speaker 1: What are the major obstacle? Those are the major opportunities

569
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 1: that the young musical artists listening to this show that

570
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:08,080
Speaker 1: you will give them advice on. Not only can you

571
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: be successful that being you know, a musician, songwright or

572
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: a producer, but also you can also get into advertisement MHM.

573
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: When you have a lot of people following you, people

574
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: brands come to you and and they want to They

575
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: want to be a part of that it want to

576
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 1: be a part of the movement. They want to be

577
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: a part of your fans may so that they can

578
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: sell this products. So you become now a different entity. Um.

579
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's almost like how Oprah Show was like

580
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:46,959
Speaker 1: major right, you know, to get part of that space

581
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: and and and that energy and that you know, and

582
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 1: that that exchange there might be a part of that.

583
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: You become a different kind of entity now and and

584
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: you can sell things outside of the music, could you know,

585
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: you can really pretty much set up a store, um,

586
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: being an entertainer now and you get a chance to

587
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: to share your music with people who were never ever

588
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: uh I think twice about you know, then during it

589
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: off outside of their own comfort and going to the

590
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 1: you can you can add to the to their world

591
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: and vice versa. You know, it's really interesting here when

592
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 1: you say that, because uh, you know my world. You know, entertainment.

593
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: You know, bigger part of the entertainment was managing Steve Harvey,

594
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: doing TV shows, during the radio, all these different platforms

595
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: and and creating relationship. How many favors you've done for

596
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,280

598
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 1: why I always love that format because about people within

00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: had it both of those expenses. But cooking is a

619
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 1: way that I expressed myself and who I am. Um.

625
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: with the sweet corn pure. Just you know, just different

626
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:35,799
Speaker 1: ways to to be creative. So food has always been

Speaker 1: look into it. I definitely want to put out cookbook,

642
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 1: a different style of cookbook, just drawing on with African

643
00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 1: American expressions out of San Francisco, and you know, I

644
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,360
Speaker 1: think that will be the platform. They have a large,

645
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 1: a large retail right right there, and uh, my fans,

646
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: it fits if it's my brand. So I'll start off

647
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: with a cookbook. People interested? Um, you know you start

648
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: off with this cookbook? Did get thereybody? Because you know

649
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,759
Speaker 1: we're already interested. I was just gonna let you know

650
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: that right now because you know my wife she loves fish,

651
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: so you you just don't right into her her menu

652
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: to see bads, you know what I'm saying. So with

653
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: that being said, what what what what would a cookbook

654
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 1: look like coming from Anthony Hamilton? Would they have desserts

655
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: in it? Would they have breads? Would it just beyondree

656
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: types or derbs or what? Would it be appetizers? It

657
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: would not I would be four four meals. Um, that

658
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: would be some some parings. Whether it be a good

659
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: dessert with a good meal, or a good wine with

660
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: a good meal, good kanyac with a good meal, and

661
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: good music. So I want to transition a little bit

662
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 1: to you said it earlier. African American expressions that said

663
00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: greeting cards, calendars, journals explain about that relationship. And when

664
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,919
Speaker 1: you said greeting cards, we're talking about you know, Valentine's Day,

665
00:37:47,920 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 1: called Mother's Day, called Christmas cards. When you say greeting

666
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 1: cards and calendars and journals, tell us how that's all

667
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: gonna work out of the Anthony Hamilton's brand absolutely uh

668
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: expression as I do through through songs, throughout performing and

669
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 1: and people come to me all the time about my lyrics.

670
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: So I was like, you know what, it's already set

671
00:38:09,719 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 1: up for me to uh to use my words and

672
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: my voice. Why not extended through greeting cards for the

673
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 1: beat holidays or just so simple. I appreciate you and

674
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: and and love you and uh and and coming from

675
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:30,600
Speaker 1: from me, stop from Hallmark. Right. I expressed, you know,

676
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: from my people and to my people in a way

677
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't normally understand. Uh. So I got with

678
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: a African American expression, and I felt like it was

679
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: a good marriage it's an extra American, Like you said,

680
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 1: it's a it's a conference zone to you because you've

681
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: always been an advocate for social change, always a voice

682
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: on the front line of you know what I'm saying,

683
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:58,480
Speaker 1: this is not right? And what what drives you in

684
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: that direction and make you to be so consistent with

685
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: that tone? I think when you see uh, I think

686
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: when you see anybody, a group of people, uh, a

687
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: race of people mhm being mistreated or you know, look

688
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 1: down upon and uh, and you still it's not right.

689
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 1: You want to have justice, and so much injustice surrounding

690
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: how we'll be treated and how we looked at and

691
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: our value and and haven't changed after a while. You

692
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:36,439
Speaker 1: just you have to be you have to be drawn

693
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 1: to do you have to be affected by it. And uh,

694
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 1: I thanged. And I'm a father of six boys. I

695
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:43,840
Speaker 1: don't want them brought up in a in the world

696
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: with that same ignorant mentality. So why not speak on

697
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: it while I have a a platform and a lot

698
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 1: of people with power and with you know, I can

699
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: make a change. So when I use my boy and

700
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: that's important because I'm a parents and you know, because

701
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: you know you when you when you're When you're a parent,

702
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: there's so many goals in life. You know, you first

703
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:09,479
Speaker 1: want a healthy child, and then you want to raise

704
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 1: that child to be respectful, and then when they go

705
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: to high school, you want them to get through that

706
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: process because you know you're as we all have all

707
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 1: personal high school experiences, and when they go to college,

708
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 1: it's kind of like the the the unnerving part. You

709
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 1: want them to walk away and you want to outlive

710
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 1: your kids. That's the goal. You don't want to bury

711
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: your kids. You want to outlive there and you don't

712
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: want your children to have any negative experiences. And the

713
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 1: fact that you have six boys that carries even bigger

714
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,480
Speaker 1: burden because guess what when you look at the local news,

715
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: these are the African American young males are the ones

716
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: being traumatized by the police. So emotionally, how does that?

717
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,720
Speaker 1: How do you deal with that as a as a father?

718
00:40:49,920 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: And what do you tell your your boys when you

719
00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: see stuff like that happening almost on a weekly basis

720
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: in the media. And then there and then there are

721
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,360
Speaker 1: quiddles that for us who watched the video years go,

722
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: how could that happen? First of all, it pisses me

723
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:08,399
Speaker 1: off and then second, you know, I calmed down when

724
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, being angry ain't gonna always

725
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: get me the results I need. So I need for

726
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: them to think through it all. And I'm like, your

727
00:41:18,360 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 1: gold every day is to get home safely, unharmed and

728
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: uh and to outthinks your enemy. Um, and then it

729
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:33,240
Speaker 1: ain't all about boasting up and and let ego getting away.

730
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: I think intelligence, intelligence and and class can go a

731
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: long way. And that's sometimes you push out pushed out

732
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: of your your comfort zone and ye out of the

733
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 1: those elements. But you have to maintain uh certain amount

734
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: of calm. It's a certain amount of um, level headedness.

735
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: That's really key. That's really yeah. And then got I

736
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 1: think the key you said was just get home. Just

737
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: get home, don't don't don't let pride interrupt the journey.

738
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: And the journey is to get home. And uh if

739
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: yessir needs to be said, yes, sir, you know the

740
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: follow the rules to the back. And that's that's what

741
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: I do. You know that Quite frankly, anytime I'm pulled over,

742
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'm nervous and I'd like to believe that

743
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,560
Speaker 1: I've done nothing wrong. And so I'm gonna follow the rules,

744
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: and and and and hopefully if by following the rules,

745
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: that I'm going to be allowed to go on my way.

746
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: And that's really the key. And I think that not

747
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 1: saying I'm not I'm not putting any title onto other situations.

748
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: All I know is that the bottom line. One thing

749
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,399
Speaker 1: that you're saying, get home saying that's the bottom line.

750
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna switch gears right here, because you know

Speaker 1: this conversation because you are a successful touring performer, venues

766
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 1: three thousand, six thousand, ten thousand sea facilities on a

767
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, a monthly basis, and so these items that

768
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about, whether it's the greeting cards with a headline,

769

Speaker 1: you know, these things can be sold to your fans

776
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 1: That is the big picture. And uh, if you're gonna

777
00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: be successful, you have to be making money while you're sleeping.

778
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,239

780
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: legacy and and you know, providing these opportunities while you rest.

781
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: I think when you're chasing and chasing and chasing, you

782
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 1: don't get the rest you need, and you don't think

783
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 1: properly when you when you're under the gun every time,

784
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:48,359
Speaker 1: So while you're resting, if you're making money, there's a

785

Speaker 1: your flowers here, right, every congratulations. That's a major thing,

864
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: especially nowadays. You know, back in the day, it used

865
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,719
Speaker 1: to be that way. You know, people used to stay

866
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: together that long. But somebody can get a common cold

867
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:30,319
Speaker 1: and that's reasons for divorce. Now, yes, yes, you know,

868
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: so it's not happening much. So that's why it's like, wow,

869
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: but you know, but you know, but the thing about

870
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 1: it is that you guys are in the entertainment business

871
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 1: and so and then you know, so you're not bringing

872
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: different conversations home because we know an entertainment I'm an

873
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: entertainer to you know, there's no guarantees. So there's a

874
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: lot of emotionally, and we all know that one of

875
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:57,480
Speaker 1: the number one reasons for divorce is financing finances. The

876
00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:00,520
Speaker 1: money ain't there. The conversation gets kind of distant, Okay.

877
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: I called it the number one reason for the grass

878
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,919
Speaker 1: on the other side, so we think, right, yes, yes,

879
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: absolutely aflute. People go to chase that green the grass

880
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,879
Speaker 1: and they don't know what that person used to get

881
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: that grass green. Absolutely, you know. You know the funny

882
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 1: thing about Tamla without you know, the brilliance of your voice.

883
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: And this is really interesting that the couple that you

884
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: guys are and I just want to slow it down

885
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 1: and talk about it, you know, and the and the

886
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: brilliance of David's comedic ability to be at the top

887
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: of your game, the two of you guys, that's that's

888
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 1: the that's the difference. Even though y'all have done shows together,

889
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: we know that the jokes are gonna come from him,

890
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: and the steady voice of reason on those shows are

891
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 1: gonna come from you. And so what is the David

892
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:01,919
Speaker 1: and Tamla brand? What is the brand? The brand for us,

893
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: it's quite simple. We we just want to make good

894
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:10,279
Speaker 1: quality family entertainment that the whole family can watch. And

895
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna leave a message and you know, not preaching.

896
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: We're not trying to preach it anybody. We just want

897
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: to send messages of hope to anybody. And before you

898
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 1: know it, you sit and you've listened to whether like

899
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: last night we did a show, I did stand up

900
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: and before you know it, there were subliminal messages thrown

901
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:34,360
Speaker 1: at you. You know about fives and wife side to

902
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: take care of the husband's And then Tam came and

903
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: there's nothing subliminal about her message taking it to the key.

904
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: There's nothing so bim taking you to the king. I'm

905
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: just letting you know that, right, do you know when

906
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,240
Speaker 1: their journey they no, ain't no right turn, ain't no swerves,

907
00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, ain't no yield side. I'm taking you to

908
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,640
Speaker 1: the camp. It's all up in your face. And you know,

909
00:52:00,719 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 1: I guess, like we were talking about earlier, I guess

910
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 1: the big shocker is because we're in an industry that's

911
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: known for divorce. I mean you you you look in

912
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,759
Speaker 1: our industry and you can just about pick out a

913
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 1: handful of couples that have stood the test of time

914
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 1: that are just said, look, no matter what, it's gonna

915
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: be me and you to death through us parts. And

916
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: then you look at look at the other ones. It's like,

917
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be me and you until we kill each

918
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: other or something like that. Right, right, right, We've just

919
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,240
Speaker 1: taken a stand. And then one of the first things

920
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:35,319
Speaker 1: we tell the vorce is not an option. Bottom line,

921
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 1: who's gonna work through it? Because the thing I always

922
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,799
Speaker 1: say is life is like a circle. If you don't

923
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: pass the test with that, with that that person, you're

924
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: gonna go through the same test again with somebody else.

925
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:52,279
Speaker 1: But why not just sit and let's reason together, get

926
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: an understanding, and we can just roll together. Now. Now,

927
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: we also we also tell people if he going upside

928

945
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:10,680
Speaker 1: our three elves, live, love and laugh. You're you'll be

946
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:14,160
Speaker 1: surprised at how many couples out there. They can go

947
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,040
Speaker 1: to work, they laugh with everybody else, they joke and

948
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 1: kid with everybody else, and they don't they can't sit

949
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 1: and laugh and just have a good belly lads with

950
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,440
Speaker 1: each other. And you know, we just we're just living

951
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: work fifty two this year, and we're living some of

952
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:34,399
Speaker 1: our best years and and we're living them in love.

953
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:39,359
Speaker 1: And I also say another thing for us will be,

954
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,040
Speaker 1: Another sid for us will be is we love each other.

955
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: We love the first of all, we love our kids.

956
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 1: But we made our relationship priority. So that's another thing.

957
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: Is we didn't put our kids before our marriage. And

958
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 1: some people do that. Some people do that, Yes, yes,

959
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,160
Speaker 1: a lot of people. And then they you know, the

960
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: kids grow up and they leave home, and then you're wondering,

961
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:05,400
Speaker 1: who is with me? Who are you? Who are you?

962
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: Who are you? Because the kids, the kids and other

963
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: stuff becomes the glue. And then once the kids are gone,

964
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 1: the glue is gone. And so you find your yourself,

965
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 1: just trying to figure out how we're gonna stay together

966
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 1: because our glue is gone. Okay, so that that transition

967
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: to the next for marriage. That's what you guys are

968
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:27,760
Speaker 1: talking about, the glue. The glue really the you, David

969
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: and Tammi, you are the base. Okay, How the base

970
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 1: goals is how everything else goals. Okay, you're not you're

971
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:38,320
Speaker 1: not prioritizing any of the kids. The money, the singing.

972
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:42,720
Speaker 1: The touring's about, honey, what do you need to be happy? Honey?

973
00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,400
Speaker 1: What you need to be happy? Let's equally come together

974
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: and be happy together. Don't over compensate to keep that

975
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: person happy and you're not happy. That's the key, right,
