00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 6: to the next level and just stay down. I think

159
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 6: for us, you know, anytime we speak to anybody, anytime hustle,

160
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 6: we speak to anybody, it's like, man, just keep going,

161
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 6: and you know it's it's the marathon mentality, Like it's

162
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 6: not gonna happen quick. Just keep going in a brick

163
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 6: a day. That's what he will always tell everybody, and

164
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 6: I think that resonates. So for me, I just like

165
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 6: to see somebody that's that's been going at it and

166
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 6: what we call them like snipers, somebody that's on it

167
00:08:55,760 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 6: up early, you know, going in late, just motivated, dedicated,

168
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 6: pushing everything else to the side with you know, with

169
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 6: with their eyes on one on the goal and success.

170
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 7: You talked about old school principles for the entrepreneurs, What

171
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 7: are like three principles that you guys operate by that

172
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 7: you want to see more businesses operate with and also

173
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 7: like for for growing their brand? What are three tips

174
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 7: you can give them in twenty twenty four to help

175
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 7: them elevate to get to the next level.

176
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 6: I think just just consistency and just understanding that you know,

177
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 6: you know in business you're gonna learn, so you have

178
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 6: to be willing to take you know, the ups and

179
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 6: the downs, and just keep going and just keep reinvesting

180
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 6: most importantly, reinvest in the business. You know, keep reinvesting, reinvesting,

181
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 6: reinvesting and learning, and I think I think everything will

182
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 6: be okay. Just once again, stay at it, don't give up,

183
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 6: and just stay focused and also hold yourself accountable, hold

184

Speaker 6: yourself to a to a to a high standard because

185

Speaker 6: you know that that that that's what it really depends on.

186
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,640

00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: hundred thousand.

264
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,760

00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: equity adventure capital not coming to our community, like one

266
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, somebody who's starting a business thinking about life

267
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: about right, like.

268
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,080

00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: we look like it with.

270
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: One hundred thousand. It's just it's bigger than a stimulus, man,

271
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: It's that important. And I told you this is going

272
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: to be the most impactful. Yeah, we've been saying it.

273
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 1: We've been saying it. So that's how we're kicking it off.

274
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 3: Let me just say something because it's like, you know, man,

275
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 3: you know sometimes in life, you you meet people that

276
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 3: you you feel like you already knew them, but you didn't,

277
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 3: you never met them before, right, And that's how I

278
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 3: feel with Sam and the whole team. And you know,

279
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 3: Sam very malmanned reserve doesn't really speak too much, but

280
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 3: I understand that he's a Pisces.

281
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: Okay, so he's just March one, a March one.

282
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: He left that part out.

283
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 3: Early, so saying, you know, man, I look at it like,

284
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 3: you know, they don't really do too much, right, that's obvious,

285
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: Like as far as so it's like, you know too.

286
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 5: And trust us with with the legacy.

287
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 3: That means something and that's something that we don't We

288
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 3: don't take for granted doing the interview that they entrusted us.

289
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 3: They haven't never interurgy like that before. They entrusted us

290
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 3: with that right now would investvests that they're entrusting us

291
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: with this. So I say that to say, you guys

292
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 3: take this serious, right, you guys take this serious because

293
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 3: it's like one hundred thousand dollars is one thing, but

294
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: what's bigger than that is that when whoever wins this

295
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 3: hundred thousand dollars, you're carrying on.

296
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,400
Speaker 5: The legacy of Nipsey Hustle.

297
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 3: Right, So yeah, you're gonna get one hundred thousand dollars

298
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 3: and that's great, six figures. There's no strings attached, but

299
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 3: you you have Nipsey Hustle. Like they took nip from us,

300
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 3: but he's still with us, right, and he's still living

301
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 3: and the marathon still continues. So the person that wins

302
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars that energy that he inspired me,

303
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 3: he inspired Troy, he inspired millions of people. That's going

304
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 3: to be a direct correlation transfer over to you. That's

305
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 3: a deposit that's bigger than one hundred thousand dollars, right,

306
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 3: So be mindful of that.

307
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 5: Right.

308
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,080

339
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 3: We'll be talking about this, but.

340
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 7: Hey, I was get there thirty o'clock in the morning.

341
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 7: What times did you get that for Thursday night? Since

342
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 7: of seven o'clock in the morning a.

343
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: Waiting line for tickets?

344
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:22,239
Speaker 1: Yes, your business, the functional aspect of your business, if

345
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 1: it's relying on a stimulus, that's how important it is

346
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: you get there before that.

347
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you this, three people will be chosen

348
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: from the hundred. So out of the hundred people that's

349
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 3: pre selected, three people will be chosen. One person will

350
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: be selected from the walkings. So don't think that if

351
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: it's just a walking, you're just gonna wait. Out of

352
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 3: those fifty people that are walkings, we will have one

353
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 3: person selected from the walkings. How bad you want it

354
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: will determine how early you get there. I can't tell

355
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,239
Speaker 3: you what time to get there. I don't know. There

356
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: might be everybody might wake up late that day. You

357
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 3: might be able just to walk in at nine o'clock.

358
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 5: Who knows, be a huge mistake.

359
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 7: That also says the part who really wants it and

360
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 7: who doesn't. And like you said, I would have shot

361
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 7: the video already. If you got a working product or

362
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 7: working service, it would be great to have them tag

363
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 7: them to and say, hey, they've been helping me the

364

Speaker 7: A lot of times, some of you may not have

370

410
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 7: crypto wave in the black community before anybody else was

411
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 7: plenty of videos years ago.

412
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 1: I remember watching twenty seventeen in the Netherlands in a

413
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: coffee shop talking.

414
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 5: Crypto before people were so yeah, and you know, saying,

00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 5: he not.

416
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 3: He don't want me to say this, obviously, because he's

417
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 3: just a very male manned and a very humble person.

418
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 3: But Sam top five realists people alive from realist people alive.

419
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: Five you got five of that.

420
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 5: I'm just saying it's top two.

421
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 2: Maybe not, maybe not.

422
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: I mean like we we We've been there for a

423
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: lot of these conversations.

424
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 2: I've seen it in.

425
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 5: Person, realist people alive. When I say real I mean

426
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 5: a real person exactly.

427
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: Like you know what I mean, Like don't across the

428
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: board in the day and age, but everybody wants to

429
00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 3: gossip and show you out, really speak about themselves and

430
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 3: talk about other people. Never it's like ghost face killer,

431
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: Like don't speak, don't show their face, don't stay behind

432
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 3: the scenes, put other people in like positions. I'm good,

433
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 3: Like I don't need to be on camera. You know

434
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, do good business, keep his word. That's

435
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 3: for the whole team. The last thing I say about

436
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 3: this is, you know, it's just unfortunate because we never

437
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 3: got a chance to meet Nip. But everything happens for

438
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 3: a reason. And you know it's one thing that we

439
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 3: developed relationships with every single person close to him, everybody, right,

440
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 3: but now this is just a different level of reverence.

441
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 3: And and like I said, we can only do this

442
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: with the blessings of his family. Right, So for for

443
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 3: you guys watching, don't try to throw Nip's name on something, right,

444
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 3: and you never met the family, you never don't.

445
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 5: That's disrespectful.

446
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 3: We would never throw somebody's name on something if we

447
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 3: don't actually have a relationship, if it wasn't actually powered,

448
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 3: if it wasn't supported by person's family. So that's just

449
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 3: for business ethics, one on one, right, But man, this

450
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 3: is just this is dope for me personally. I know

451
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 3: Troy feel the same way and everybody, but I can

452
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 3: only speak for me, like, this is dope for me

453
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 3: being such a fan of everything that Nips stood for

454
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: and his business acumen and his music and you know, matter.

455
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 1: A person for I hear there's a part of it

456
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: that still feels a little bit bittersweet. But yeah, it's

457
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: like he's not here, but like I said, that he

458
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 1: lives to us in the work that we're doing and

459
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: obviously what the marathon continues, which is the slogan.

460
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 2: So that makes it dope, man.

461
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: I mean, but a lot of what you just spoke

462
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: about is the relationships, like relationship building.

463
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 2: We're talking about two years.

464
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: Shout out to Dave Gross, shout out to Steve Carlins,

465
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 1: like a bunch of people who have said the same thing. Look,

466
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,480

468
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 1: can't say how much relationships mean to us, but this

469
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: is a perfect example of just staying with integrity and

470
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 1: leading with value, right, Like, this wouldn't work if we

471
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: weren't doing the work in our community that we were.

472
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,879

00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 7: About to be one of the biggest real estate developers.

486
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, billion dollars practice seemen and what if our

487
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 3: investments have become strategic about to make my partners look

488
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 3: like geniuses and they're crazy.

489
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 7: It's crazy to say, but at the time when he passed,

490
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 7: Nipsey was probably ranked higher in entrepreneurship than Sam Altman was.

491
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 7: And Sam went on to do chagy bet and open

492
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 7: the eye what he was thinking about other people were

493
00:24:58,359 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 7: not talking about eight nine years ago.

494
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 3: It's like I always say, what's the difference between Kanye

495
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 3: West and Elon Musk?

496
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 5: Right?

497
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 3: Did it pretty much the same person? One has different experiences,

498
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 3: one has just a career path, one has a different upbringing.

499
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,879
Speaker 3: So one person is the richest, second richest person in

500
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 3: the world. Other person's a billionaire two or six hundred million.

501
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: But what you're exposed to right Also, if he was

502
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 3: raised Dave Gross is a perfect example this. Dave Gross

503
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 3: is the person that actually introduced us to everybody. Dave,

504
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 3: wherever you are in the world right now, shout out

505
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 3: to you. I haven't spoken to him a long time.

506
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 3: But so Dave Gross is an interesting story because he's

507
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,919
Speaker 3: from South central LA. He's from the neighborhood, right, But

508
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 3: he moved out. His parents moved him out to Texas

509
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 3: when he was a kid, and it changed his life.

510
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: His brother stayed in the neighborhood, and unfortunately they took

511
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 3: a path of a traditional you know that what you

512
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 3: would think would happen in that neighborhood. He went to

513
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 3: Texas and he went to Ivy League school and then

514
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 3: he had a twenty year career on Walsh Street and

515
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 3: got mentored by Don Peebles, became a real estate investor,

516
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 3: slash developer, very prestigious career. Then he came back and

517
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 3: he's connected with Nip because when he came back to

518
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 3: La he was he kept hearing about the kid Nipsey

519
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 3: Hustle from his neighborhood and he's like, I want to

520
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 3: meet this kid. And he connected with his brother who

521
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 3: are it was in the same fraternity of Nip and

522
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 3: and they introduced him and and then he started mentoring

523
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 3: Nip on business. I say that to say, what if

524
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 3: Nip would have been raised in Orange County, in not

525
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 3: south central LA he could have potentially started the next

526
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 3: billion dollar unicorn because he already had the mindset, had

527
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 3: the work ethic, had the personality right. But it's like,

528
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,959
Speaker 3: unfortunately a lot of times the circumstances that we come

529
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 3: up in that dictates our career path and dictates our life.

530
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:08,959
Speaker 3: So it's just interesting, man. Yeah, man, it's very interesting.

531
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:09,520
