We here at this moment. 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:27.919 Yeah, that's dope. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.840 So let's let's let's get into it. Nineteen keys. I 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.600 don't even know where where we should start, but I 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.960 want to start with the Black Wealth Standard, Yes, because 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.280 that's something that I've been seeing a lot as far 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.919 as you posting it a lot recently. And the Black 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.120 Wealth Standard, Like when you when you first posted that, 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.600 I'm like, what does that mean? You know what I'm saying. 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.120 It's like one of those things that's interesting, and it's 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.240 like I think I know what it means, but I 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.200 want you to kind of give like the breakdown, Like 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:53.600 what's the Black Wealth Standard? 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:55.880 So it's two parts to that. We had a Black 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.680 Standard and then we had a Wealth Standard. And so 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.560 inside the Black Standard is the Web standard. And so 0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:04.440 the Black Standard is really creating a system of accountability 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.920 for what it means to be black. Understand me, Like, 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:10.280 I believe that not everybody is black in the mind. 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:13.600 Understand me and by black, we have to create the 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.680 system of accountability otherwise we can't have any expectation of 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.360 each other. Understand me, Like, if I consider myself to 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:21.720 be a black man, what values do I uphold? What's 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.720 my mission? What's my vision? Understand me? What does it 0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:29.680 mean to a black person? Responsibility, accountability, transparency? When you 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:32.360 could be a nigga, right, and a nigga heards a 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:37.280 certain connotation and there's no expectation for what a nigga is. 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.680 A person can make music and say I kill niggas, 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:42.840 I murder niggas, I arrive nigga whatever it is, there's 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.760 no accountability. So if like if you think in hip hop, 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.320 where does the standard for hip hop to say who 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.560 can and cannot be a part of hip hop? There 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.320 is none. So when I think about our communities and 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.400 I think about people being disappointed by so called leaders 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.360 or celebrities or activists and things of that nature, you 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.680 really can't hold them to a fault because we haven't 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.840 created a standard of accountability to say that. Well, if 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:06.080 you consider yourself to be a black man, then this 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.680 is what you stand on. So one of the standards 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:10.920 that we created was you have to train. If we 0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:13.160 look at everything that's been happening and a lot of 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.040 the circumstances that we living in right now, the Black 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:20.880 Lives Matter movements, the white supremacy, things of that nature 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.000 going on, it's like, how do you prepare yourself? And 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.440 we can't just continue to complain. Somebody got to be 0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.920 out there training. Somebody got to be out there ready. 0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:31.960 If you say that, Okay, well we believe in gun ownership, 0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.719 well you should have tactical training. If you don't believe 0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:37.160 in guns and you believe and okay, I'm gonna protect myself, 0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:39.800 well you should have combat training. You understand me, hand 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:43.000 in hand. If now, when we go to the West standard, 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.320 we talk about Black Wall Street, you understand me and 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.599 what happened back then. But they had a particular web standard, 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.400 meaning that the money ex changed thirty times before left 0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:55.440 they community. You understand me, Like they had a certain 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:59.360 financial literacy that doesn't exist in our community. So when 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.480 we talk about the Black standard, is really creating a 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:04.320 system of accountability for those who consider themselves to be 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:08.680 black and always qualified black, not in the sense of nationality, 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.159 the sense in your mindset. Understand me, Like, are you 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.920 connected to that original spark of what it means to 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.640 be a black person on the planet Earth? You understand me, 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.279 original man and that original thinking, and inside that we 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:24.280 know that. I believe in ownership of slave ships, so 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:28.560 that all right. I believe in equity versus equality, because 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.440 if we get equity, we confront our equality. Understand me, 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.200 And I know you all believe in that because I've 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.479 seen certain things that you post, and it makes sense 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.240 that if we get a quality, then everybody get what 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:40.719 we got and it's still an equal. Yeah. 0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:43.240 I've been fighting for that, especially in education. Is like 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.400 people need to understand the difference. And I think people 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.120 have always said equal rights, equal likes. I'm like, yo, forget, 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:49.880 like we need to change our three e's. I always 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.919 say that, like it's your equality is cool. Equities more important. 0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:54.640 Economic empowerment is even more important. 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:58.599 Absolutely, But look at so other communities have a web standard. 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:03.640 The Jewish community represent two percent of the population, but 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.599 the top one hundred four billionaires twenty five percent Jewish community. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.520 When we look at that Asian community, who has the 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.360 top household income. It's not white folks. Even though we 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.880 always compare that, but it's the Asian community, and more specifically, 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.039 it's the East Indian in the Asian community, and who's 0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:24.720 top leverage when it comes to looking at the tech sector. 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.880 You understand me, they're the top paid. And you can 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:32.239 understand that because they basically look at all, right, what's 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.960 going on in the community, what's going on in the world. Right, 0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:39.400 So if Bill Gates and Elon Musk and all of 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.680 these people are becoming the new billionaires and the new 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.640 rule in power, then they said, well, that's what we 0:06:43.680 --> 0:06:46.680 need to get into. Let's do Howard understand me, And 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.880 they get into digital technology and they get into coding 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:51.440 and things of that nature. So when you look at 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.080 Shinji in China in the last five to ten years, 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.400 they've been able to build up a system to go 0:06:56.480 --> 0:07:01.039 from rice farmers understand me, to tech billionaires and millionaires 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.000 because they said that, oh, well, this is going to 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.159 be our way towards wealth. Now, in the black community, 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.920 we still think entertainment and sports is our well standing 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:16.560 understanding and every other community puts more emphasis on education 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.360 than we do. But the right kind of education, you 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.640 understand me, Like, we don't have a specific type of 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:25.120 education that we go for. And so when we think 0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:27.440 about having a wealth standard, you can really study other 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:31.040 communities who've done it better than us, because all communities 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.720 have done it better than us, understand me. Even the 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.280 Hispanic community. Their income is higher than ours and continues 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.000 to rise higher than ours. They're more likely to own 0:07:40.080 --> 0:07:42.360 a house than we are once we leave a household, 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:45.320 understand me. And so creating a wealth standard is really 0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:49.800 creating a system of accountability that you can think towards 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.800 going towards that goal of wealth, like wealth is having 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.320 an abundance of assets, and the average person, the average 0:07:56.320 --> 0:08:00.080 Black person specifically, because the fifty percent of America is 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:03.000 financially illiterate, then that number is extremely high in the 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:03.840 Black community. 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.120 That's important. So my I mean mindset is the key. 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.000 And I've heard you say this numerous times. Right, if 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.480 you could change the way somebody thinking can change their world. 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:11.040 Absolutely. 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:13.400 So when did your mindset get change or was this 0:08:13.600 --> 0:08:16.120 something that was always in your household as you were 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:16.520 coming up? 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.680 Absolutely not. So it's levels to that question, right, So 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.720 the web standard was never in my household. Now, we 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.320 was taught, you know, economic empowerment, and the teachers on 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.800 the Unaboilijah Muhammad who taught about those different things. But 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:33.079 the knowledge, the how to, the applicable knowledge on how 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:37.840 to get their portfolio diversification and understanding commodities and stocks 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:39.800 and things of that nature, and that was not in 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.640 my household. But the do for self mentality was always there. 0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.960 So when I was about nineteen years old was when 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.280 I think I really made a shift to wanting to 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.240 go upon this journey and teaching others. And that's because 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:55.640 I had a case when I was nineteen. I understand me. 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:57.800 I think before the age of nineteen, I probably had 0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.079 about I've probably been arrested about ten times, had about 0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.360 five or six cases, but I always fought them all. 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.880 And that's because I seen my father fight his cases. 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.120 So having that example, I knew what was possible and 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:11.680 I knew what I needed to do. And so really 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:14.480 and that last case, I was going through it and 0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:16.720 I was locked up in a jail, and I was 0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:19.560 reading this book and the book was it was a 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:21.760 fictional book. I don't remember what it was, but it 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.800 was a story book. It was very detailed. I could 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:26.040 imagine in picture. It was like a movie in my head. 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.160 And then as I was done reading that book, and 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.200 I got through the whole thing, and I looked around. 0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.040 I'm still in the cell, and nothing in that book 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:39.360 qualified me to get past this case and empowered me 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.280 in any situation whatsoever. So I felt like I just 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.360 wasted all my time. And then when I got to trial, 0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:48.000 my older brother had gave me a list of books 0:09:48.000 --> 0:09:51.520 to read. Are the Deceptions, some son Zuo War books, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.360 a bunch of different books on legal leads, and he 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:56.360 wanted to give me books that we could actually apply 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.480 when it came towards trial, you understand me, books that 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.040 were applic knowledge. And I remember learning certain things and 0:10:02.080 --> 0:10:04.120 having to tell my lawyer certain things to get certain 0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.000 parts of the case thrown out. And eventually, of course, 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:10.920 we got to that point where the case was found 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.920 not guilty. You understand me. I ain't got no record 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.640 for the record, ye record. But after that, I haven't 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:23.080 read a fictional book. Understand me. I only read information 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:25.440 for the purpose of applying it in some way in 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.760 my life, you know, And I know that. You know 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:29.960 you can read stories and then expands the minds and 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:32.440 things of that nature. But that's just where I met 0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:34.560 and after that, I only wanted to find that sort 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.440 of information because eighty percent of people don't take it 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.920 to trial, you understand me. They plea out and that's 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.000 either ignorance, a lack of money, representation, a multitude of 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:47.600 different things. But I just think about those individuals that 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:49.280 I grew up with in the hood, when they jumped 0:10:49.320 --> 0:10:51.440 off that porch. They get caught in that system, and 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.200 then they get stuck in that cycle because they ain't 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.600 had nobody to get us, some keys, somebody to get 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.240 them some books that can guide them too the right 0:10:57.280 --> 0:11:00.600 mindset where they can free themselves. So ever since I 0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.600 was nineteen years old, I've just been on this journey 0:11:02.679 --> 0:11:05.120 of damn, how do I unlock the next man whose 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:10.960 mind is is without the proper knowledge and information to 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:12.720 where they can be that higher self. 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.679 So it's interesting because I think it was actually with 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:18.640 Dame Right we spoke about where it was like, you 0:11:18.640 --> 0:11:21.240 can't just tell somebody to stop hustling without giving. 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:24.440 Them us talk to me about the proms answer, Ye, yeah. 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.640 You got it. You can't like say, okay, I'm out here, 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.000 I'm making a thousand dollars a day. You're telling me 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:32.360 to stop doing what I'm doing. But you're not giving 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:36.719 me any solution. So as far as like practical solutions, 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.040 as far as like building wealth in the community, like 0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:41.120 you brought up a good point sports entertainment, that's all 0:11:41.160 --> 0:11:43.600 that's our wealth standing because that's what we know. And 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.680 it's like every neighborhood has at least one NBA player 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.000 or one NFL player or one rapper. So that's an 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.040 aspiring person that you can look at and say, Okay, 0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:55.640 he made it doing this, so I know I have 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:59.280 a chance at least I have a shot doing this, right. Yeah, 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.680 So it's like, how do we get into you know, 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:07.480 building that practical? Is it through trades? Is it through entrepreneurship, 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.800 as far as breaking mortar locations? Is it through online? 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:13.200 Is a variety? Is it investing? Like what is what's 0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.320 some of the ways that we can actually encourage people 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:17.319 to kind of get them on the wealth path. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:21.040 Well, I believe in skill set diversification. You understand me 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:23.760 that you don't just have one thing, because as we've 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.600 seen through the COVID nineteen and the quarantine, if one 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:30.480 fail and you know, circumstances beyond your control happens, what 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.040 you're gonna do? So many people had to pivot during 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:36.520 this time, and they didn't know what their second stop was. 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:40.800 Understand me. So number one, I look at the education system, 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.640 and I look at everybody else wealth standards, and we 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:48.440 can look at the Asian community specifically, because let's ask 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.800 for ourselves. How many Asian leaders can you think of 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.560 in the last one hundred years in America? How many 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.200 Asian leaders you can think of? That just prominent voices 0:12:56.200 --> 0:13:00.960 that speak for the Asian community, can't really think of any. Now, 0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:03.400 we've been spoiled with leadership in our community, so we 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:07.400 always looking for somebody to lead us, you understand me. Instead, 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:11.040 their leadership is their education, you understand me. Their leadership 0:13:11.120 --> 0:13:14.000 is their family standard on how they build together. And 0:13:14.080 --> 0:13:17.679 so number one, you have to destroy that dependency model 0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:20.120 of I'm looking for somebody to save me, you know, 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:22.080 and now you have to create a new saver, which 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:27.000 is the education, which is getting into the digital real estate. 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.440 That's my brother Ben next calls it and looking like, yes, 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:34.680 entrepreneurship one hundred percent. And people always say, well, entrepreneurship 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:37.320 not for me, That's not true, you understand me, Like 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.680 thinking like an entrepreneurs for everybody we live in a 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.600 capitalist society. So if you're not thinking like an entrepreneur, 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:45.840 then you're somebody's consumer, you understand me. So that's a 0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:49.920 slave based mindset, because either you figure out a way 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:52.440 to free yourself into the ultimate role of the sovereignty 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:56.080 or you're just a deadest slave. So number one, entrepreneurship. 0:13:56.440 --> 0:14:00.280 The mindset towards education has to shift. The education has 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:03.640 created an opportunity because everything that they didn't teach, now 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:05.920 we can teach, you understand me. So we really have 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.240 to think them. They didn't teach real estate, you understand me. 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.400 They didn't teach entrepreneur the way the entrepreneurship the way 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:15.040 we utilize it today. They didn't teach stocks and trading 0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:17.360 and things of that nature to where we can easily 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:19.880 apply it. So now guess what we get to teach 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:22.240 all the things that we know. It creates an income 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.680 for us. So when I look at the fact that 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:29.720 it's more expensive to house a prisoner than it is 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:31.800 to go to Harvard, and Harvard with all this great 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.440 endowments is not about to change, you understand me. It 0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.560 is priced to go there. It's tuition whatsoever. They don't 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.800 care about that. So I say well, shit, digital education 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.560 is the new Harvard understand me. Right, Now, you can 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:48.000 go spend the next two to three weeks learning coding. 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.920 You understand me, and increase your income just by having 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.240 a new skill set. You can go in the next 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:57.560 three to five weeks learning trading. You understand me, and 0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.520 now you have a new way to bring in income. 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:01.760 So when we look at the unemployment rate, it doesn't 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.000 have to affect you if you have skill sets that 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:08.080 employ You understand me. And so you start with learning 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.880 skills first of all, skills that you can trade for income, 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.120 increasing your human capital and your value on the marketplace. 0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:17.720 So if we start there and saying that, okay, number one, 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.600 I also believe in a family model. Don't do business 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.280 with our family. That's my model understanding Now I know 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:25.920 for most of it is that's crazy, right because we 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:27.480 was taught don't do business with family. 0:15:28.280 --> 0:15:29.320 But it's crazy. 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:34.960 That's only true for dysfunctional family and living alone. It 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:40.280 is so instead of living based off the filter that yes, 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.160 our family is dysfunctional. So that applies to us, let's 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:46.080 work towards well, how do we create functional families? You 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.800 understand me, And so the repairment of the family model 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:51.120 in the black community has to happen before we get 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:54.320 to any wealth. Otherwise it's only one generation. There's no 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.920 multi generational wealth. So the family standard has to happen 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.720 in understanding that. You know, they call it the sixty 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:04.640 four hitting your history in America between sixteen nineteen and 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.240 fifteen fifty five, where that was supposed to be the 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:10.160 making of the slaves, and that making of the slave 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:14.840 was destroying that aspects of family unit. Understand me, so 0:16:14.960 --> 0:16:16.480 that you can rob 'em on they name, you can 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:19.760 rob him on they culture, They masculinity and femininity, everything 0:16:19.800 --> 0:16:23.680 that brings them together as a family unit. And once 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.160 they did that in sixteen nineteen, they was ready to 0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:29.120 open up business. Now we know that everything in America 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:31.600 goes back to the black body, the branding, the marketing, 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:35.320 the insurance, the whole gambit. So when we look at 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:38.800 repairing the black family, it's the one thing that starts 0:16:38.840 --> 0:16:41.520 us towards wealth. You can't get past it. I don't 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.880 care how successful I am. Understand me, unless I got 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.120 a young little nineteen keys out there running around that 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:50.520 knows what I know as well, not just having a child. 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.040 He gotta know what I know. When it comes to 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.240 the money markets, you gotta know what I know when 0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:56.120 it comes towards being a man and taking care of 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.800 his family, you understand me, and then passing that knowledge down, 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:02.920 because wealth is not just about the attainment of physical 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.000 assets and things of that nature. It's the mindset. It's 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:08.919 the knowledge that we have. So if we pass down 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.200 the right knowledge and we was groomed in a household 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.119 with that sort of information, then yes, we already have 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:15.560 the wealth. You understand me. 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:15.920 Right. 0:17:16.000 --> 0:17:20.359 Reparations is repairment, and that repairment comes from knowledge yourself 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.560 and understanding the world around you. We live in a 0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:27.720 very capitalist society that's ran by white families, and families 0:17:27.840 --> 0:17:31.880 run the world, not governments and special interest groups and corporations. 0:17:32.040 --> 0:17:34.880 So I believe that every black family should have an LLC. 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:37.400 Yeah, I agree too. 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:38.800 There's a lot there. 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:40.679 And I'm just gonna go back to that leadership conversation 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.159 because that's one of the things that we've shoty ourselves 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.359 always talked about. It was like, Yo, our community is 0:17:45.359 --> 0:17:47.360 always looking for leaders, but there's a lot of other 0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:49.840 communities that don't, right, because the problem when you have 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:51.720 a leader is that they become the target exactly, and 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.120 so once you have a target, it's easy to knock 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:56.600 down that target or prop up that target to be 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.280 built down. And once that one leader's going to slight, well, 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:00.880 somebody's lost. 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:03.640 You know what I mean that exactly. 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.119 I want to go to something because you talked about 0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:08.320 passion and one of your skills, you said at nineteen, 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:10.240 But I know that fashion was one of your things, 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:12.639 and so how did you get into that? 0:18:12.720 --> 0:18:15.600 Was that something that you knew that you were I for? 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:18.960 You know, that comes from art. When we was in 0:18:19.000 --> 0:18:20.840 the hood man me and my older brother. My older 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.560 brother got me into art and I used to see 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:25.400 him draw. I never thought I had the skill set, 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:27.280 Just like speaking, I never thought I had the gift 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.600 to gap because I used to think that everybody used 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:31.159 to tell him he had it. So I used to 0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:33.199 relate all of those gifts to him. Sounds a lot 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:38.320 like a guy, know, So I never thought like that 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.320 was gonna be something that I used in the future. 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.399 So I used to always find other different things. But 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:44.320 I used to look up to him, and I used 0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:45.760 to want to do some of the same things that 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:49.639 he did, and so I found a passion and drawing 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.640 and art and painting, and I remember when we used 0:18:52.680 --> 0:18:55.200 to draw in our own shirts and paint on ourselves. 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.600 The local guys in the neighborhood were asking what shit 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:00.320 makes something for me? Understand me. Now, anytime I felt 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:01.800 like I got a skill set that can make money 0:19:01.840 --> 0:19:04.960 and it got value, I'm gonna utilize it, understand me instantly. 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.480 So that's when the business began with. It was first 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.159 called moose I Hill and there's a whole story behind 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.119
