Speaker 1: Coach, the energy out there felt different. What changed for

Speaker 4: of different videos, Like he has stuff from health he

Speaker 4: a Patune, like that video viral that was dope. I

Speaker 5: So he can go, oh yeah, your video is a classic.
Speaker 2: Because I'm like, you're listening and reliving what he's saying,
Speaker 2: and then sometimes you just like start laughing.
Speaker 5: Because you're like, Yo, this is I really lived at
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 4: So without further a dude, nineteen keys, thank you for
Speaker 4: joining us, appreciate it.
Speaker 3: Thank you for having me here.
Speaker 5: Yeah, welcome.
Speaker 3: I told you. I feel like I'd have made it now.
Speaker 3: Nothing else matters. We here at this moment.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's dope.
Speaker 4: So let's let's let's get into it. Nineteen keys. I
Speaker 4: don't even know where where we should start, but I
Speaker 4: want to start with the Black Wealth Standard, Yes, because
Speaker 4: that's something that I've been seeing a lot as far
Speaker 4: as you posting it a lot recently. And the Black
Speaker 4: Wealth Standard, Like when you when you first posted that,
Speaker 4: I'm like, what does that mean? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: It's like one of those things that's interesting, and it's
Speaker 4: like I think I know what it means, but I
Speaker 4: want you to kind of give like the breakdown, Like
Speaker 4: what's the Black Wealth Standard?
Speaker 3: So it's two parts to that. We had a Black
Speaker 3: Standard and then we had a Wealth Standard. And so
Speaker 3: inside the Black Standard is the Web standard. And so
Speaker 3: the Black Standard is really creating a system of accountability
Speaker 3: for what it means to be black. Understand me, Like,
Speaker 3: I believe that not everybody is black in the mind.
Speaker 3: Understand me and by black, we have to create the
Speaker 3: system of accountability otherwise we can't have any expectation of
Speaker 3: each other. Understand me, Like, if I consider myself to
Speaker 3: be a black man, what values do I uphold? What's
Speaker 3: my mission? What's my vision? Understand me? What does it
Speaker 3: mean to a black person? Responsibility, accountability, transparency? When you
Speaker 3: could be a nigga, right, and a nigga heards a
Speaker 3: certain connotation and there's no expectation for what a nigga is.
Speaker 3: A person can make music and say I kill niggas,
Speaker 3: I murder niggas, I arrive nigga whatever it is, there's
Speaker 3: no accountability. So if like if you think in hip hop,
Speaker 3: where does the standard for hip hop to say who
Speaker 3: can and cannot be a part of hip hop? There
Speaker 3: is none. So when I think about our communities and
Speaker 3: I think about people being disappointed by so called leaders
Speaker 3: or celebrities or activists and things of that nature, you
Speaker 3: really can't hold them to a fault because we haven't
Speaker 3: created a standard of accountability to say that. Well, if
Speaker 3: you consider yourself to be a black man, then this
Speaker 3: is what you stand on. So one of the standards
Speaker 3: that we created was you have to train. If we
Speaker 3: look at everything that's been happening and a lot of
Speaker 3: the circumstances that we living in right now, the Black
Speaker 3: Lives Matter movements, the white supremacy, things of that nature
Speaker 3: going on, it's like, how do you prepare yourself? And
Speaker 3: we can't just continue to complain. Somebody got to be
Speaker 3: out there training. Somebody got to be out there ready.
Speaker 3: If you say that, Okay, well we believe in gun ownership,
Speaker 3: well you should have tactical training. If you don't believe
Speaker 3: in guns and you believe and okay, I'm gonna protect myself,
Speaker 3: well you should have combat training. You understand me, hand
Speaker 3: in hand. If now, when we go to the West standard,
Speaker 3: we talk about Black Wall Street, you understand me and
Speaker 3: what happened back then. But they had a particular web standard,
Speaker 3: meaning that the money ex changed thirty times before left
Speaker 3: they community. You understand me, Like they had a certain
Speaker 3: financial literacy that doesn't exist in our community. So when
Speaker 3: we talk about the Black standard, is really creating a
Speaker 3: system of accountability for those who consider themselves to be
Speaker 3: black and always qualified black, not in the sense of nationality,
Speaker 3: the sense in your mindset. Understand me, Like, are you
Speaker 3: connected to that original spark of what it means to
Speaker 3: be a black person on the planet Earth? You understand me,
Speaker 3: original man and that original thinking, and inside that we
Speaker 3: know that. I believe in ownership of slave ships, so
Speaker 3: that all right. I believe in equity versus equality, because
Speaker 3: if we get equity, we confront our equality. Understand me,
Speaker 3: And I know you all believe in that because I've
Speaker 3: seen certain things that you post, and it makes sense
Speaker 3: that if we get a quality, then everybody get what
Speaker 3: we got and it's still an equal. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I've been fighting for that, especially in education. Is like
Speaker 2: people need to understand the difference. And I think people
Speaker 2: have always said equal rights, equal likes. I'm like, yo, forget,
Speaker 2: like we need to change our three e's. I always
Speaker 2: say that, like it's your equality is cool. Equities more important.
Speaker 2: Economic empowerment is even more important.
Speaker 3: Absolutely, But look at so other communities have a web standard.
Speaker 3: The Jewish community represent two percent of the population, but
Speaker 3: the top one hundred four billionaires twenty five percent Jewish community.
Speaker 3: When we look at that Asian community, who has the
Speaker 3: top household income. It's not white folks. Even though we
Speaker 3: always compare that, but it's the Asian community, and more specifically,
Speaker 3: it's the East Indian in the Asian community, and who's
Speaker 3: top leverage when it comes to looking at the tech sector.
Speaker 3: You understand me, they're the top paid. And you can
Speaker 3: understand that because they basically look at all, right, what's
Speaker 3: going on in the community, what's going on in the world. Right,
Speaker 3: So if Bill Gates and Elon Musk and all of
Speaker 3: these people are becoming the new billionaires and the new
Speaker 3: rule in power, then they said, well, that's what we
Speaker 3: need to get into. Let's do Howard understand me, And
Speaker 3: they get into digital technology and they get into coding
Speaker 3: and things of that nature. So when you look at
Speaker 3: Shinji in China in the last five to ten years,
Speaker 3: they've been able to build up a system to go
Speaker 3: from rice farmers understand me, to tech billionaires and millionaires
Speaker 3: because they said that, oh, well, this is going to
Speaker 3: be our way towards wealth. Now, in the black community,
Speaker 3: we still think entertainment and sports is our well standing
Speaker 3: understanding and every other community puts more emphasis on education
Speaker 3: than we do. But the right kind of education, you
Speaker 3: understand me, Like, we don't have a specific type of
Speaker 3: education that we go for. And so when we think
Speaker 3: about having a wealth standard, you can really study other
Speaker 3: communities who've done it better than us, because all communities
Speaker 3: have done it better than us, understand me. Even the
Speaker 3: Hispanic community. Their income is higher than ours and continues
Speaker 3: to rise higher than ours. They're more likely to own
Speaker 3: a house than we are once we leave a household,
Speaker 3: understand me. And so creating a wealth standard is really
Speaker 3: creating a system of accountability that you can think towards
Speaker 3: going towards that goal of wealth, like wealth is having
Speaker 3: an abundance of assets, and the average person, the average
Speaker 3: Black person specifically, because the fifty percent of America is
Speaker 3: financially illiterate, then that number is extremely high in the
Speaker 3: Black community.
Speaker 2: That's important. So my I mean mindset is the key.
Speaker 2: And I've heard you say this numerous times. Right, if
Speaker 2: you could change the way somebody thinking can change their world.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: So when did your mindset get change or was this
Speaker 2: something that was always in your household as you were
Speaker 2: coming up?
Speaker 3: Absolutely not. So it's levels to that question, right, So
Speaker 3: the web standard was never in my household. Now, we
Speaker 3: was taught, you know, economic empowerment, and the teachers on
Speaker 3: the Unaboilijah Muhammad who taught about those different things. But
Speaker 3: the knowledge, the how to, the applicable knowledge on how
Speaker 3: to get their portfolio diversification and understanding commodities and stocks
Speaker 3: and things of that nature, and that was not in
Speaker 3: my household. But the do for self mentality was always there.
Speaker 3: So when I was about nineteen years old was when
Speaker 3: I think I really made a shift to wanting to
Speaker 3: go upon this journey and teaching others. And that's because
Speaker 3: I had a case when I was nineteen. I understand me.
Speaker 3: I think before the age of nineteen, I probably had
Speaker 3: about I've probably been arrested about ten times, had about
Speaker 3: five or six cases, but I always fought them all.
Speaker 3: And that's because I seen my father fight his cases.
Speaker 3: So having that example, I knew what was possible and
Speaker 3: I knew what I needed to do. And so really
Speaker 3: and that last case, I was going through it and
Speaker 3: I was locked up in a jail, and I was
Speaker 3: reading this book and the book was it was a
Speaker 3: fictional book. I don't remember what it was, but it
Speaker 3: was a story book. It was very detailed. I could
Speaker 3: imagine in picture. It was like a movie in my head.
Speaker 3: And then as I was done reading that book, and
Speaker 3: I got through the whole thing, and I looked around.
Speaker 3: I'm still in the cell, and nothing in that book
Speaker 3: qualified me to get past this case and empowered me
Speaker 3: in any situation whatsoever. So I felt like I just
Speaker 3: wasted all my time. And then when I got to trial,
Speaker 3: my older brother had gave me a list of books
Speaker 3: to read. Are the Deceptions, some son Zuo War books,
Speaker 3: a bunch of different books on legal leads, and he
Speaker 3: wanted to give me books that we could actually apply
Speaker 3: when it came towards trial, you understand me, books that
Speaker 3: were applic knowledge. And I remember learning certain things and
Speaker 3: having to tell my lawyer certain things to get certain
Speaker 3: parts of the case thrown out. And eventually, of course,
Speaker 3: we got to that point where the case was found
Speaker 3: not guilty. You understand me. I ain't got no record
Speaker 3: for the record, ye record. But after that, I haven't
Speaker 3: read a fictional book. Understand me. I only read information
Speaker 3: for the purpose of applying it in some way in
Speaker 3: my life, you know, And I know that. You know
Speaker 3: you can read stories and then expands the minds and
Speaker 3: things of that nature. But that's just where I met
Speaker 3: and after that, I only wanted to find that sort
Speaker 3: of information because eighty percent of people don't take it
Speaker 3: to trial, you understand me. They plea out and that's
Speaker 3: either ignorance, a lack of money, representation, a multitude of
Speaker 3: different things. But I just think about those individuals that
Speaker 3: I grew up with in the hood, when they jumped
Speaker 3: off that porch. They get caught in that system, and
Speaker 3: then they get stuck in that cycle because they ain't
Speaker 3: had nobody to get us, some keys, somebody to get
Speaker 3: them some books that can guide them too the right
Speaker 3: mindset where they can free themselves. So ever since I
Speaker 3: was nineteen years old, I've just been on this journey
Speaker 3: of damn, how do I unlock the next man whose
Speaker 3: mind is is without the proper knowledge and information to
Speaker 3: where they can be that higher self.
Speaker 4: So it's interesting because I think it was actually with
Speaker 4: Dame Right we spoke about where it was like, you
Speaker 4: can't just tell somebody to stop hustling without giving.
Speaker 5: Them us talk to me about the proms answer, Ye, yeah.
Speaker 4: You got it. You can't like say, okay, I'm out here,
Speaker 4: I'm making a thousand dollars a day. You're telling me
Speaker 4: to stop doing what I'm doing. But you're not giving
Speaker 4: me any solution. So as far as like practical solutions,
Speaker 4: as far as like building wealth in the community, like
Speaker 4: you brought up a good point sports entertainment, that's all
Speaker 4: that's our wealth standing because that's what we know. And
Speaker 4: it's like every neighborhood has at least one NBA player
Speaker 4: or one NFL player or one rapper. So that's an
Speaker 4: aspiring person that you can look at and say, Okay,
Speaker 4: he made it doing this, so I know I have
Speaker 4: a chance at least I have a shot doing this, right. Yeah,
Speaker 4: So it's like, how do we get into you know,
Speaker 4: building that practical? Is it through trades? Is it through entrepreneurship,
Speaker 4: as far as breaking mortar locations? Is it through online?
Speaker 4: Is a variety? Is it investing? Like what is what's
Speaker 4: some of the ways that we can actually encourage people
Speaker 4: to kind of get them on the wealth path.
Speaker 3: Well, I believe in skill set diversification. You understand me
Speaker 3: that you don't just have one thing, because as we've
Speaker 3: seen through the COVID nineteen and the quarantine, if one
Speaker 3: fail and you know, circumstances beyond your control happens, what
Speaker 3: you're gonna do? So many people had to pivot during
Speaker 3: this time, and they didn't know what their second stop was.
Speaker 3: Understand me. So number one, I look at the education system,
Speaker 3: and I look at everybody else wealth standards, and we
Speaker 3: can look at the Asian community specifically, because let's ask
Speaker 3: for ourselves. How many Asian leaders can you think of
Speaker 3: in the last one hundred years in America? How many
Speaker 3: Asian leaders you can think of? That just prominent voices
Speaker 3: that speak for the Asian community, can't really think of any. Now,
Speaker 3: we've been spoiled with leadership in our community, so we
Speaker 3: always looking for somebody to lead us, you understand me. Instead,
Speaker 3: their leadership is their education, you understand me. Their leadership
Speaker 3: is their family standard on how they build together. And
Speaker 3: so number one, you have to destroy that dependency model
Speaker 3: of I'm looking for somebody to save me, you know,
Speaker 3: and now you have to create a new saver, which
Speaker 3: is the education, which is getting into the digital real estate.
Speaker 3: That's my brother Ben next calls it and looking like, yes,
Speaker 3: entrepreneurship one hundred percent. And people always say, well, entrepreneurship
Speaker 3: not for me, That's not true, you understand me, Like
Speaker 3: thinking like an entrepreneurs for everybody we live in a
Speaker 3: capitalist society. So if you're not thinking like an entrepreneur,
Speaker 3: then you're somebody's consumer, you understand me. So that's a
Speaker 3: slave based mindset, because either you figure out a way
Speaker 3: to free yourself into the ultimate role of the sovereignty
Speaker 3: or you're just a deadest slave. So number one, entrepreneurship.
Speaker 3: The mindset towards education has to shift. The education has
Speaker 3: created an opportunity because everything that they didn't teach, now
Speaker 3: we can teach, you understand me. So we really have
Speaker 3: to think them. They didn't teach real estate, you understand me.
Speaker 3: They didn't teach entrepreneur the way the entrepreneurship the way
Speaker 3: we utilize it today. They didn't teach stocks and trading
Speaker 3: and things of that nature to where we can easily
Speaker 3: apply it. So now guess what we get to teach
Speaker 3: all the things that we know. It creates an income
Speaker 3: for us. So when I look at the fact that
Speaker 3: it's more expensive to house a prisoner than it is
Speaker 3: to go to Harvard, and Harvard with all this great
Speaker 3: endowments is not about to change, you understand me. It
Speaker 3: is priced to go there. It's tuition whatsoever. They don't
Speaker 3: care about that. So I say well, shit, digital education
Speaker 3: is the new Harvard understand me. Right, Now, you can
Speaker 3: go spend the next two to three weeks learning coding.
Speaker 3: You understand me, and increase your income just by having
Speaker 3: a new skill set. You can go in the next
Speaker 3: three to five weeks learning trading. You understand me, and
Speaker 3: now you have a new way to bring in income.
Speaker 3: So when we look at the unemployment rate, it doesn't
Speaker 3: have to affect you if you have skill sets that
Speaker 3: employ You understand me. And so you start with learning
Speaker 3: skills first of all, skills that you can trade for income,
Speaker 3: increasing your human capital and your value on the marketplace.
Speaker 3: So if we start there and saying that, okay, number one,
Speaker 3: I also believe in a family model. Don't do business
Speaker 3: with our family. That's my model understanding Now I know
Speaker 3: for most of it is that's crazy, right because we
Speaker 3: was taught don't do business with family.
Speaker 5: But it's crazy.
Speaker 3: That's only true for dysfunctional family and living alone. It
Speaker 3: is so instead of living based off the filter that yes,
Speaker 3: our family is dysfunctional. So that applies to us, let's
Speaker 3: work towards well, how do we create functional families? You
Speaker 3: understand me, And so the repairment of the family model
Speaker 3: in the black community has to happen before we get
Speaker 3: to any wealth. Otherwise it's only one generation. There's no
Speaker 3: multi generational wealth. So the family standard has to happen
Speaker 3: in understanding that. You know, they call it the sixty
Speaker 3: four hitting your history in America between sixteen nineteen and
Speaker 3: fifteen fifty five, where that was supposed to be the
Speaker 3: making of the slaves, and that making of the slave
Speaker 3: was destroying that aspects of family unit. Understand me, so
Speaker 3: that you can rob 'em on they name, you can
Speaker 3: rob him on they culture, They masculinity and femininity, everything
Speaker 3: that brings them together as a family unit. And once
Speaker 3: they did that in sixteen nineteen, they was ready to
Speaker 3: open up business. Now we know that everything in America
Speaker 3: goes back to the black body, the branding, the marketing,
Speaker 3: the insurance, the whole gambit. So when we look at
Speaker 3: repairing the black family, it's the one thing that starts
Speaker 3: us towards wealth. You can't get past it. I don't
Speaker 3: care how successful I am. Understand me, unless I got
Speaker 3: a young little nineteen keys out there running around that
Speaker 3: knows what I know as well, not just having a child.
Speaker 3: He gotta know what I know. When it comes to
Speaker 3: the money markets, you gotta know what I know when
Speaker 3: it comes towards being a man and taking care of
Speaker 3: his family, you understand me, and then passing that knowledge down,
Speaker 3: because wealth is not just about the attainment of physical
Speaker 3: assets and things of that nature. It's the mindset. It's
Speaker 3: the knowledge that we have. So if we pass down
Speaker 3: the right knowledge and we was groomed in a household
Speaker 3: with that sort of information, then yes, we already have
Speaker 3: the wealth. You understand me.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 3: Reparations is repairment, and that repairment comes from knowledge yourself
Speaker 3: and understanding the world around you. We live in a
Speaker 3: very capitalist society that's ran by white families, and families
Speaker 3: run the world, not governments and special interest groups and corporations.
Speaker 3: So I believe that every black family should have an LLC.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree too.
Speaker 5: There's a lot there.
Speaker 2: And I'm just gonna go back to that leadership conversation
Speaker 2: because that's one of the things that we've shoty ourselves
Speaker 2: always talked about. It was like, Yo, our community is
Speaker 2: always looking for leaders, but there's a lot of other
Speaker 2: communities that don't, right, because the problem when you have
Speaker 2: a leader is that they become the target exactly, and
Speaker 2: so once you have a target, it's easy to knock
Speaker 2: down that target or prop up that target to be
Speaker 2: built down. And once that one leader's going to slight, well,
Speaker 2: somebody's lost.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean that exactly.
Speaker 2: I want to go to something because you talked about
Speaker 2: passion and one of your skills, you said at nineteen,
Speaker 2: But I know that fashion was one of your things,
Speaker 2: and so how did you get into that?
Speaker 5: Was that something that you knew that you were I for?
Speaker 3: You know, that comes from art. When we was in
Speaker 3: the hood man me and my older brother. My older
Speaker 3: brother got me into art and I used to see
Speaker 3: him draw. I never thought I had the skill set,
Speaker 3: Just like speaking, I never thought I had the gift
Speaker 3: to gap because I used to think that everybody used
Speaker 3: to tell him he had it. So I used to
Speaker 3: relate all of those gifts to him. Sounds a lot
Speaker 3: like a guy, know, So I never thought like that
Speaker 3: was gonna be something that I used in the future.
Speaker 3: So I used to always find other different things. But
Speaker 3: I used to look up to him, and I used
Speaker 3: to want to do some of the same things that
Speaker 3: he did, and so I found a passion and drawing
Speaker 3: and art and painting, and I remember when we used
Speaker 3: to draw in our own shirts and paint on ourselves.
Speaker 3: The local guys in the neighborhood were asking what shit
Speaker 3: makes something for me? Understand me. Now, anytime I felt
Speaker 3: like I got a skill set that can make money
Speaker 3: and it got value, I'm gonna utilize it, understand me instantly.
Speaker 3: So that's when the business began with. It was first
Speaker 3: called moose I Hill and there's a whole story behind
Speaker 3: that one. And then we started that one with hand painting,
Speaker 3: and then it went to cutting sew and then of
Speaker 3: course my older brother and his baby mom's at the
Speaker 3: time was no longer doing the fashion thing, so I
Speaker 3: took it upon myself to go full fledged with it.
Speaker 3: And at the time I was really just providing funds
Speaker 3: for it and doing the marketing for it, like I
Speaker 3: thought that that's what my genius was, which it still is,
Speaker 3: but in the marketing aspect. But because that was void
Speaker 3: and empty, I'm not the type of person that quit
Speaker 3: on anything, so I just say, fuck it, I'm going
Speaker 3: to go ahead and get that skill set necessary for
Speaker 3: me to be able to make this successful. So I
Speaker 3: picked up designing and learned that I had a knack
Speaker 3: for it. Understand me the way I conceptualized things, and
Speaker 3: so I don't really consider it fashion even though it
Speaker 3: be fashion. I just considered designing. I can see art.
Speaker 3: I consider like creating. I consider like speaking my creativity,
Speaker 3: my art. You understand me, anything that I do. So
Speaker 3: I did have a store in Oakland, California, downtown Oakland
Speaker 3: for a couple of years that I used to have
Speaker 3: and I used to have all of my designs in
Speaker 3: the window and it did very well because when I
Speaker 3: used to work for Product, but I fired them because they.
Speaker 5: Can no longer go forward me right mindset?
Speaker 3: Yeah they did they you know, they did good for me.
Speaker 3: It was six figures. They weren't bad, you understand me.
Speaker 3: But they couldn't afford me. You know, when you first
Speaker 3: go into the job, you don't have the same skill
Speaker 3: sets as when you leave.
Speaker 4: You put So I used to.
Speaker 3: Do sales, merchandising, managing multitude of different little things, corporate world.
Speaker 3: So I was, I was. I was there in the
Speaker 3: actual store, so like the Nieman Marcus the flagship store,
Speaker 3: multitude of other ones. Now of course, imagining nineteen keys
Speaker 3: at a product store.
Speaker 5: It's interesting, right, everything earned not giving.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you the difference, right because I remember
Speaker 3: having a conversation with the manager at the time, and
Speaker 3: he used to tell me how you used to listen
Speaker 3: to Rush Limbaugh, and I say, you know what, that's
Speaker 3: fine because I listened to Minster farcive and he was like,
Speaker 3: you know what, we shouldn't have political concepts. And I'm
Speaker 3: like you about right, let's let's but agree. I say
Speaker 3: that to say, like, the way you go into a
Speaker 3: place is the way you have to stay. And a
Speaker 3: lot of people make that mistake of switching off and
Speaker 3: then trying to show glimpses of like they black revolutionary
Speaker 3: side and they like where that comes from? Understand me.
Speaker 3: But when I worked there, I learned a lot. Because
Speaker 3: I learned. I feel like every job is an education,
Speaker 3: Like that's what you still from your job, not boxes,
Speaker 3: You're still the education, Like you go there and if
Speaker 3: you work in a register, or if you're doing CRM
Speaker 3: for customer reports and you're doing client telling and you
Speaker 3: learning how to sell, or you're learning the history of
Speaker 3: the company and what makes somebody want to spend fifty
Speaker 3: thousand dollars on the back Like that fascinated me to
Speaker 3: a point because I found out that they clientele was
Speaker 3: like really in love with the curture in the history
Speaker 3: and that's why they valued it. And to say that, yes,
Speaker 3: I would exchange all of this money for that. So
Speaker 3: at the time I started learning Mandarin, understand me, like
Speaker 3: like probably like sixty percent of my clients were Chinese.
Speaker 3: Understand me. And you could imagine when they see a
Speaker 3: black man speaking Chinese, like they light up. You understand me,
Speaker 3: It's like soon it starts starts speaking. I got to
Speaker 3: sell and I used to have counterparts that were Asian,
Speaker 3: and it felt unfair to them because they're like, you know, y'all,
Speaker 3: like they hear you speaking Chinese all the time, but
Speaker 3: to hear me speak it understand me, it's a novelty.
Speaker 3: So like I did extremely well that first year. I
Speaker 3: had like three million dollars in sales, and like to
Speaker 3: give context, like the person behind me was like a
Speaker 3: million and a half behind. You understand me, and we're
Speaker 3: getting commission plus hourly. So like I broke their system
Speaker 3: understand me, like they had, like they literally had to
Speaker 3: change it after that. And then that's when I was new,
Speaker 3: like it's time for me to go because y'all changing
Speaker 3: money structures because we're making too much money.
Speaker 5: You're fired.
Speaker 4: But that's how you.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 3: That was about five years ago. I was like between
Speaker 3: like twenty three twenty five.
Speaker 4: You know that recently put you on the spot. Can
Speaker 4: you say something in Mandar?
Speaker 3: This will be your first Let me see, let me see.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta sell something some real quick.
Speaker 3: Uh jiggahaw khan wan ma. Now if somebody's sitting there listening,
Speaker 3: be like, how you doing? Do you like this one?
Speaker 3: You understand me. It's a formal dialogue to really open
Speaker 3: it up to get them to buy something.
Speaker 4: So I have a couple of questions, cause this is interesting.
Speaker 4: How did you How did you learn Mandarin? Which seems
Speaker 4: like an extremely complicated language to learn.
Speaker 3: I think language is one of those things. So I
Speaker 3: got to say, every level of consciousness comes with a
Speaker 3: new language. And I believe that in every sense, not
Speaker 3: just when it comes to linguistics and actually speaking different languages,
Speaker 3: but like the money languages, a language, right, the rich
Speaker 3: man doesn't speak the same language as a poor man,
Speaker 3: you understand me. And language is the ability to be
Speaker 3: able to expl so with language, me I grip it
Speaker 3: through experience. So I learned it by literally just speaking
Speaker 3: it and being there and practicing, you know. And then
Speaker 3: as that went on, I would just add more words
Speaker 3: into the vocabulary, understand me more and more words, and
Speaker 3: it got to a point where I was pretty fluent
Speaker 3: to where I could have, you know, business conversation or
Speaker 3: salesman mandarin as I called it, because I knew everything
Speaker 3: at least to get this cell and everything that surrounded
Speaker 3: the cell, and to sweetheart to sell. And so I
Speaker 3: believe with language, like I took four years of French,
Speaker 3: I took multiple years of Arabic just being a Muslim,
Speaker 3: I know my prayers and things of that nature, and Arabic.
Speaker 3: I took Spanish. You used to do Spanish skits when
Speaker 3: I was younger. But with Mandarin it seems hard, but
Speaker 3: it's not, because one word can have like multiple meanings
Speaker 3: depending on the tonality of it. You understand me, So
Speaker 3: when you learn one thing, you really learning a lot.
Speaker 3: So for me, it was just being in the midst
Speaker 3: of it, and like just like the sales lord was crazy,
Speaker 3: so like you had multiple people at the time and
Speaker 3: multiple cells that you would have to make at a time.
Speaker 3: So I feel like you know, at that time, my
Speaker 3: brain was like more on adaptability in finding patterns. You
Speaker 3: understand me. I think as you get older, language is
Speaker 3: harder because you have to reset and your mind is
Speaker 3: more structured towards like wisdom instead of patterns selectivity. But
Speaker 3: at that time, it was all just finding patterns and
Speaker 3: then utilizing them in real time. And that experience just
Speaker 3: started to encode that language into my everyday experience. So, yeah,
Speaker 3: Mandarin was a it was, it was. It was interesting,
Speaker 3: to be honest, I was proud of myself from learning.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I sto thought you was gonna say, look, yeah,
Speaker 2: I bought Rosetta Stone. I really thought that we was
Speaker 2: going there.
Speaker 3: But now I tried to pick up it happened, But
Speaker 3: it was just it was incomparable to actually using it
Speaker 3: in real life.
Speaker 5: I think that's that's incredible.
Speaker 4: So all right, you're twenty five, you're speaking Mandarin, you're
Speaker 4: working in and this is a price on Oakland.
Speaker 3: It was in San Francisco, was a little more California
Speaker 3: as well.
Speaker 4: Okay, that explains it. Okay, So yeah, making over one
Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars a year, Why all right, do you
Speaker 4: were you apprehensive about quitting because it's like, especially, do
Speaker 4: you have a college? Did you go to college? I
Speaker 4: dropped out of college, all right, so you don't have
Speaker 4: a teacher teacher? Really?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean like education Okay, okay, okay, that's my thing.
Speaker 5: I'm a teacher teacher.
Speaker 4: So yeah. So it's like, you know, I'm saying that
Speaker 4: because a lot of people don't have confidence. So it's like,
Speaker 4: you don't have a college to beautiful back on your
Speaker 4: twenty five you're actually making good money. It's not especially
Speaker 4: good money's relative, but for a twenty five year old
Speaker 4: at that time, yeah, it's good money. So what did
Speaker 4: you like, what was your plan? Like, did you have
Speaker 4: a plan to be an entrepreneur?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 4: What did you do?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 3: I have my side hustle right, And one of the
Speaker 3: stories that really gave me it was two things that
Speaker 3: gave me the courage to make the jump. One, it
Speaker 3: was just right after the anniversary of the million Man
Speaker 3: March and the ringing sound to do for self, you
Speaker 3: understand me kept coming into mind and just with the
Speaker 3: feeling of who I know I was, that I knew
Speaker 3: that there was an expiration to that anyway that you know,
Speaker 3: my mindset in the trajectory of where I was going
Speaker 3: that I couldn't continue to be me. You understand me,
Speaker 3: the revolutionary that I believe I am, and worked for
Speaker 3: a white boss. That's just one hundred percent. And so
Speaker 3: after that anniversary, I remember riding around listening to it
Speaker 3: because I didn't get to go to Washington, but the
Speaker 3: ringing sounds that do for self came back into play
Speaker 3: and I was like, yeah, I gotta fire them. And
Speaker 3: then my bro, mister Fab he had a store Dope
Speaker 3: Erad Oakland Legend and that's my brother, and he had
Speaker 3: some of my shirts at his store. It's like Issallama
Speaker 3: Lakham and he put it into one of his videos.
Speaker 3: It was six shots. I believe it was a Filando
Speaker 3: canse Still I forget who it was that got shot
Speaker 3: during that time, and it was on xx CEL and
Speaker 3: things of that nature. And one of the ocs that
Speaker 3: hit him up Muslim Brus and he was like, man,
Speaker 3: I ain't know you had like with some gear and
Speaker 3: things of that nature. He was like, oh yeah, that's
Speaker 3: my bro. And so he was like, okay, I need
Speaker 3: I need someone I get in town. So Bro ended
Speaker 3: up flying in town and he wanted to get like
Speaker 3: thousands of dollars worth of it, you understand me, Like
Speaker 3: he ain't have enough in the store to cover, so
Speaker 3: Fab hit me up. He's like, bro, I got somebody here.
Speaker 3: They want to buy a couple of woo WAPs from you.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, man, say no more. I happened to
Speaker 3: be off that day, you understand me. So I loaded
Speaker 3: up everything that I had. I peeled over there really fast,
Speaker 3: understand me. And when I pulled up, he bought maybe
Speaker 3: about fifteen hundred to two thousand dollars worth of gear.
Speaker 3: And I just remember thinking in my head, like, man,
Speaker 3: if I was at work, I would have never been
Speaker 3: able to take the opportunity, understand me, which will allow
Speaker 3: me to actually fire this job. So I knew that week.
Speaker 3: I remember telling mister Fab that, yeah, I'm about to
Speaker 3: fire my job, and like that same week, I actually
Speaker 3: fired them. And I remember he was like, man, you crazy.
Speaker 3: But because you know, I actually met him at product,
Speaker 3: Like the first time I met him, I gave him
Speaker 3: fifty percent off on his shoes that he was getting
Speaker 3: for his birthday, I understand me, just because I feel like, yeah,
Speaker 3: if you worked there, player, you ain't gonna work there forever.
Speaker 3: Understand I mean, like people be holding on to things
Speaker 3: that the nature. I was giving it out as much
Speaker 3: as I could. But yeah, I learned a lesson during
Speaker 3: that as well, because you know, as I teach people
Speaker 3: to fire their job, now teaching more and so still
Speaker 3: from your job. And then when you have enough that
Speaker 3: you stole, you understand me, then that's when you can leave.
Speaker 3: Because I did leave a little over zealous without a plan.
Speaker 3: I had just got a new apartment. I didn't really
Speaker 3: have a backup plan. I didn't have any financial strategies
Speaker 3: in place, none of that. I just really had the
Speaker 3: heart to do it, you understand me. And I felt like,
Speaker 3: if I can do millions of dollars for them, I
Speaker 3: know what I can do for myself. So that story
Speaker 3: really goes to the fact that, yeah, I did think that,
Speaker 3: you know, making one hundred thousand dollars a year with something,
Speaker 3: and then I created a family business and you know,
Speaker 3: we can make that in a month. So now, looking
Speaker 3: at it in hindsight, of course, I would tell younger
Speaker 3: me to do what you do, but I would give
Speaker 3: them these points of advice, you understand me, to make
Speaker 3: sure you have these plans in place. But it depends
Speaker 3: on the person because some people live through that adversity
Speaker 3: and that's what get them to that greatness. And you know,
Speaker 3: other people have to have more of those things in
Speaker 3: place and more plans in place in order for them
Speaker 3: to get to whatever trajectory or goal that they have
Speaker 3: in sight.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in this time, is this where you come up
Speaker 2: with your value of money? Because I'm gonna let you
Speaker 2: explain it. I think it's brilliant. I actually tried to
Speaker 2: do a whole lesson on the value of money, but
Speaker 2: when I heard you speak about it, and it was like, Yo,
Speaker 2: don't chase chase value, don't chase the things that buy value.
Speaker 2: Is this the time period where you come up with
Speaker 2: that theory or much later? Can you explain it there?
Speaker 2: Because people need to have that.
Speaker 3: So, like I wish I had anybody got some money
Speaker 3: on them two honess? Yeah, So I mean it's simple. Really,
Speaker 3: It'll work better if I had a dollar bill next
Speaker 3: to this, right, because if you look at these blue
Speaker 3: faces as we call them, you understand me. Yeah, let
Speaker 3: me get that.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 3: For the most part, the cost to make both of
Speaker 3: these is just about the same, understand me. So what's
Speaker 3: the value of them. Now, we spend our whole lives
Speaker 3: chasing these things, but these are not the value. These
Speaker 3: things are what you utilize to exchange for things of value.
Speaker 3: But in our community we talk to chase the thing
Speaker 3: that buys value instead of actually chase value. Now, when
Speaker 3: you chase value, then this chases you because this is
Speaker 3: meant to exchange for things of value. So it's like
Speaker 3: if a person goes and get more knowledge, that's to me,
Speaker 3: the quickest way to increase your value. Because all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, if you spent the next year, and let's
Speaker 3: say over that course of the year, you became a
Speaker 3: genius at one particular subject, people will pay you for that. Why,
Speaker 3: because you've increased your value and now they have these bills.
Speaker 3: Is Fiat money which biys value. But then you also
Speaker 3: have to understand money in the sense of like, this
Speaker 3: is not the value at all, right, Like it don't
Speaker 3: have any intrinsic value. This means that it can go
Speaker 3: down to zero. Understand me, something like gold which or
Speaker 3: is not that much gold in the world, It has
Speaker 3: intrinsic values. There's value never gonna go down to zero,
Speaker 3: you understand me. And so for me, I think about
Speaker 3: the intrinsic value in the human capital that each person
Speaker 3: has and your ability to consistently add value onto self.
Speaker 3: So the moment that I stopped trying to chase a
Speaker 3: goal of cash and things of that nature, and I said, well,
Speaker 3: let me just continue to add value and give value. Right,
Speaker 3: So more I give value, the more money a person
Speaker 3: has to give me. So it's the same thing as
Speaker 3: if I'm always worrying about like who has my money
Speaker 3: in they pocket? Right, Like if you surround it, like
Speaker 3: I live downtown and I know that there's millions of
Speaker 3: dollars around me in circulation. Now how do I get
Speaker 3: into that flow of money? Understand me? What value can
Speaker 3: I add? So people start exchanging that money for my value.
Speaker 3: So like right now, let's say if I told you
Speaker 3: about course or a book that I had, all of
Speaker 3: a sudden, you go in your pocket and you give
Speaker 3: me some of your money because you just exchange it
Speaker 3: for value. But if I just say broken, I have
Speaker 3: one hundred dollars, that's not the same you understand you,
Speaker 3: Or if I'm around you and I'm just thinking like, man,
Speaker 3: I get some money, understand me, Nah, I go straight
Speaker 3: for the value and only the value. So I don't
Speaker 3: chase money because when you chase value, money chases you.
Speaker 3: You understand me. And it really goes to getting rid
Speaker 3: of your cognitive dissonance and your programming towards money and
Speaker 3: really just updating your mindset when it comes to money itself,
Speaker 3: like this is nothing Like cash is trash, you understand me.
Speaker 3: And even understanding that concept like having all your money
Speaker 3: leveraged in cash, really push you at a big risk,
Speaker 3: especially as inflation rises and as the dollar decreases, and
Speaker 3: understanding the international monetary systems that we live in today,
Speaker 3: and those are not things that's taught in the average
Speaker 3: household of Black America. So yeah, we chase too much
Speaker 3: cash instead of value.
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's all reminds me of Derek Falcon, one
Speaker 4: of our most famous alumnis for us at least, he's
Speaker 4: he's a legend when it comes down to change the
Speaker 4: whole situation. But what he said was he was like,
Speaker 4: stop lining yourself, stop lining your life up with bills,
Speaker 4: and start lining your life up with purpose. And it's
Speaker 4: like what you just said, like chase the purpose. And
Speaker 4: it's like even for us, it's like, you know, for us,
Speaker 4: we feel like we're providing value when we're doing purpose
Speaker 4: and we like doing what we're doing as opposed to's
Speaker 4: just like I'm chasing a bag. But the more you
Speaker 4: chase money, the more it's gonna run from you.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. I mean, you know for a fact that it's
Speaker 3: much harder to get interviews when you don't have that
Speaker 3: value already out there, your value proposition as this call.
Speaker 3: You understand me. It's like that person may be too
Speaker 3: busy for you. Why because time has a certain value
Speaker 3: on it. But when I can exchange my time for
Speaker 3: something to equal with greater value than cool, I mean
Speaker 3: people hitting you up, You understand me? When you call,
Speaker 3: they absolutely saying yes because that makes sense.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so that's exactly, that's not that's pretty pretty accurate.
Speaker 4: So you talk about diversification, I'm interested to know is
Speaker 4: that's diversifying your investments to diversifying. Yeah, do you have
Speaker 4: a strategy for diversification?
Speaker 3: So with diversification, so let's let's speak directly on money then, right,
Speaker 3: So it's really about leveraging yourself, you understand me. So
Speaker 3: in this particular market that we live in now, you
Speaker 3: all know that inflation and your audience know because y'all
Speaker 3: be talking about so I ain't bringing that new to y'all.
Speaker 3: Understand me that inflation is rise at three percent and
Speaker 3: we know that. Let's say if the dollar was to
Speaker 3: go down, like really decline, you got all your cash holdings,
Speaker 3: all your money and cash.

Speaker 7: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
Speaker 7: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
Speaker 7: accused of murdering a Texas. Man of Venezuelan charged with
Speaker 7: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
Speaker 7: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
Speaker 7: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christine Noman, the United States
Speaker 7: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
Speaker 7: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
Speaker 7: one hundred third tho illegal aliens have been arrested. If
Speaker 7: you were here illegally, you're next. You will be fine
Speaker 7: nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you
Speaker 7: will never return. But if you register using our CBP
Speaker 7: home app and leave now, you could be allowed to
Speaker 7: return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump,
Speaker 7: America's laws, border and families will.
Speaker 2: Be protected sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security.
Speaker 3: Understand me. Now, that means that you at grave risk,
Speaker 3: understand me, to lose it all. And this is really
Speaker 3: why we don't have any wealth in our community whatsoever.
Speaker 3: Because as my brother Chris Cole he speaks about this,
Speaker 3: you know, we think transactional base instead of purchasing power
Speaker 3: percentage base. So when you're talking about wealth, you're talking
Speaker 3: about having consistent purchasing power itself. Now, if the dollar
Speaker 3: decreases then so does your purchase and power it decreases.
Speaker 3: So maybe I need to have some of my money
Speaker 3: leveraged in gold, right because it's a dollar decrease and
Speaker 3: people lose faith in this dollar. Now they may have
Speaker 3: more faith in gold, or they may have more faith
Speaker 3: in treasury bonds. Understand me. Now, understanding that just aspect
Speaker 3: of thinking, which probably somebody who may be listening to
Speaker 3: this for the first time might not understand still that concept,
Speaker 3: like you really have to sort of get into it
Speaker 3: to start understanding stop thinking transactional. But for me, it's
Speaker 3: the same thing when it goes towards anything in diversification, like, yes,
Speaker 3: I may have a book, but what a booksells decline?
Speaker 3: All right, well maybe I can do speaking, well, what
Speaker 3: if the speaking events decline? Understand me, Where I can
Speaker 3: start doing teaching? Well, what if the teaching Well I
Speaker 3: got a product, Well, what about I can't do the product.
Speaker 3: Maybe I can build somebody's website like that skill set
Speaker 3: diversification for me. So for me, it's always keeping yourself
Speaker 3: leveraged so that your value never goes to zero. You
Speaker 3: minimize your risk at the same time, you understand me
Speaker 3: and you can continue to have power or purchase and
Speaker 3: power on the marketplace. So with black folks, we should
Speaker 3: never always have have our money in cash, and we
Speaker 3: should have a diversified portfolio with different commodities and assets
Speaker 3: that we can leverage with and learning how to hedge them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's interesting that you say that, because that's the
Speaker 4: same thing with us as far as like our revenue streams.
Speaker 4: Like for in a Ligia, we had a bunch of
Speaker 4: different revenue streams. Fortunately, because it's like live events was
Speaker 4: a big one for us. And when COVID HiT's like,
Speaker 4: we just doubled down on our content right and started
Speaker 4: doing different a lot of other stuff. But if we
Speaker 4: would have been relying solely on live events, we'd be screwed.
Speaker 5: It'd be real dark for us.
Speaker 3: But the beautiful thing, look, how many and this is
Speaker 3: one of those shameless things or people feel guilty when
Speaker 3: they say, is that they're doing so well during the
Speaker 3: COVID nineteen period. And that's because some people didn't even
Speaker 3: realize that they were very leveraged for this time. You
Speaker 3: understand me that they did have a diversified portfolio, at
Speaker 3: least mentally just through the skill set that they've acquired
Speaker 3: throughout time, like they didn't realize that, oh I would
Speaker 3: actually pivot very great during this time. But I look
Speaker 3: at you know, minimizing risks, were more so thinking about
Speaker 3: what's the worst that could happen. Like last year when
Speaker 3: we were doing our tour, we were telling people that,
Speaker 3: you know, the stock market go be a bubble, things
Speaker 3: go bust, and people was asking, well, what would you do?
Speaker 3: And I just kept thinking last year, I told them
Speaker 3: that twenty nineteen was a year of the keys. Twenty
Speaker 3: twenty is not really the year where you just start something.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty was the year you already have something starting
Speaker 3: your building on it, you understand me. And those people
Speaker 3: who have something starting was building on it found themselves
Speaker 3: to have some of their best months, understand me, because
Speaker 3: they had skill sets that they can easily pivot, and
Speaker 3: so when one thing went down, they put all of
Speaker 3: their energy and focus. Now they may income sources not working,
Speaker 3: here is another income source that they was able to maximize.
Speaker 2: Though, I think we should have you write our book.
Speaker 2: I mean really literally are telling our story. This is
Speaker 2: pretty good. Can we talk about products because I know
Speaker 2: and I thought it really interesting, right the Crowns product
Speaker 2: because I'm reading all the stuff about you, and I'm
Speaker 2: like technology, Yes, sirry, where'd you get the interest in this?
Speaker 2: Because I know the crown has the EMF technology electromagnetic frequency.
Speaker 2: I'll let you explain it. But where did you love
Speaker 2: an interest in peak for technology? When did this happen?
Speaker 3: Man? I couldn't tell you when that started. I've always
Speaker 3: loved technology, you understand me, Like maybe it came from
Speaker 3: being a youngster. And you know, we used to break down.
Speaker 3: Me and my younger brother used to break down like
Speaker 3: machine parts and batteries and magnets and things of that nature,
Speaker 3: and build like we used to take the washing machines
Speaker 3: and build the race cars and things of that nature.
Speaker 3: You understand me, Like we was real hands on when
Speaker 3: we was younger. And I just always loved the concept
Speaker 3: of technology. I read the Tech Insiders and just the
Speaker 3: different magazines and keep up with what was to come
Speaker 3: at all times. But really for the crowns, you understand me,
Speaker 3: because the crown that I wear is symbols, and really
Speaker 3: that's the important part on it. The symbols are a
Speaker 3: subconscious language. You can't tell a symbol no understand me
Speaker 3: the same way if you see a Toyoda emblem, the
Speaker 3: or Coca Cola bottle, the messaging from every commercial that's
Speaker 3: been marketed to you, it's gonna start playing. There's landscape
Speaker 3: that they've already took over in your head. And so
Speaker 3: the power with symbols is that you know they have
Speaker 3: the ability to spark this inner knowing in you. You
Speaker 3: understand me. When we see certain symbols that's universal. Our DNA,
Speaker 3: you understand me communicates with it. Now in the hoods
Speaker 3: of America, when you watch the movie Colors, it taught
Speaker 3: black people the propaganda of gang you understand me and
Speaker 3: how to wear wish colors throw up different things. Understand me.
Speaker 3: It sparked that interest all across America. And I think
Speaker 3: about propaganda understand me in the way of the same
Speaker 3: way I think about design. Understand me. And I think
Speaker 3: about fashion as a particular technology that communicates who you are.
Speaker 3: Understand me, And so for me, I create products that
Speaker 3: communicate problems but crates. So when I think about EMF
Speaker 3: electromagnetic frequency protection, and I think about the five G stuff,
Speaker 3: right like, everybody went crazy for the five G for
Speaker 3: a couple of months, but we was a couple of
Speaker 3: years ahead, just thinking about more, so not even just
Speaker 3: five G, because the five G implications go beyond you
Speaker 3: know what people think about the dangers and more and
Speaker 3: so go about the Internet of Things and super surveillance
Speaker 3: and all of that stuff. But when I think about
Speaker 3: any technology and the harmfulness that comes around it, how
Speaker 3: do you protect yourself? And then how do you communicate
Speaker 3: a problem without going into that conspiracy world? You understand me?
Speaker 3: Like I'd rather be like, look, I have MF protection
Speaker 3: ZORBS and then they're like, what I need that for?
Speaker 3: I was like, well, let me tell you some of
Speaker 3: the problems that of rise. You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: Chicago Tribune actually did a study on cell phone technology
Speaker 3: and say that it was actually over the allotted rate
Speaker 3: that cell phone should be emitting radiation. So you may
Speaker 3: have it in your pocket and it may me messing
Speaker 3: with your little swimmers. Understand me. I'm just saying, you
Speaker 3: may be getting headaches and not know what it's for.
Speaker 3: So my way of first creating the solution and then
Speaker 3: bring the awareness to the problem. And so I said, well,
Speaker 3: let's combine fashion and tech. You understand me, Let's put
Speaker 3: this technology in there, because not only am I have
Speaker 3: you representing who you are. You understand me when you
Speaker 3: walk in the room, but it's protecting your mind at
Speaker 3: the same time. So it's really like a quadruple dimension.
Speaker 3: Like these symbols resonate so that you can tap into
Speaker 3: that universal mindset. You represent that universal mindset by wearing them,
Speaker 3: and you protect that mind you understand me all at
Speaker 3: the same time. And then we got augmented reality coming next.
Speaker 3: For the Crowns.
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: So there's a chip in the crown Yeah.
Speaker 3: What exactly. It's a small chip and it has composite
Speaker 3: minerals that's combined. And what that does is so for
Speaker 3: the dangerous radiation, you understand me, it actually breaks down
Speaker 3: that into short waves so that it doesn't have the
Speaker 3: same effect that it normally would have if you had
Speaker 3: no protect around you whatsoever. Understand me. So, and I
Speaker 3: don't just have the Crowns. We got the gold Water
Speaker 3: and a multitude of other different things, like we kind
Speaker 3: of go real scientific.
Speaker 5: I saw the mask.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got the mask. Yeah, you know, we be
Speaker 3: working man. The gold Water is the family business though,
Speaker 3: like that's the one that I started with the family.
Speaker 3: The other one I started completely by myself.
Speaker 4: So what's what's the science behind the gold water? Like,
Speaker 4: what's the deal with that?
Speaker 3: So we're born with zero points zero two percent of
Speaker 3: gold within our body, like physical goal, physical the actual goal.
Speaker 4: That you're wearing.
Speaker 3: Yes, actual real gold. So scientists had discovered like they
Speaker 3: were saying, Okay, why will we need gold? Why are
Speaker 3: we born with gold? Gold is one of those one
Speaker 3: hundred and two minerals that doctor Sebby said that we need,
Speaker 3: right And when you look at gold within the body,
Speaker 3: it's there for anti inflammation and it's also there for
Speaker 3: electricity within the nerves. Understand me. Now, gold is a
Speaker 3: heavy metal, so it's a super conductive of electricity. It's
Speaker 3: the only metal that doesn't rust. Now, ancient societies have
Speaker 3: been mining gold. It's been used as a money for
Speaker 3: over five thousand years, and it's been mindful of one
Speaker 3: hundred thousand years when you go into the deep sciences
Speaker 3: of the Ananaki or the Egyptians or even in the UK,
Speaker 3: and even today they utilize it in cancer and tumor
Speaker 3: radiation technology. And so the gold in your body, because
Speaker 3: it has a bio availability and you break down the gold,
Speaker 3: the only thing that's in there is dionized water and gold.
Speaker 3: And the thing people always ask them, do I need
Speaker 3: to mix it? No, you just take it and you
Speaker 3: drink it. And so what it does for me is
Speaker 3: it increases hand eye coordination, mental acuity, which one of
Speaker 3: the best things. I like lucid dreaming because some people
Speaker 3: always tell us they had their first dream in years.
Speaker 3: And it's funny like people that say it made me smarter,
Speaker 3: and we don't market it that way. But the side
Speaker 3: effect is this that you have the hippocampus area of
Speaker 3: brain which regulates moved memory and learn it. Now. Of course,
Speaker 3: after the age of twenty five, you understand me. Your
Speaker 3: neuroplasticity doesn't work the same way. And so when you
Speaker 3: drink it, especially if you drink it before you go
Speaker 3: to sleep, it's going to get you into that deep
Speaker 3: stage of sleep by a way sleep. And so when
Speaker 3: you in that deep sleep, your brain actually secretes a
Speaker 3: fluid over the ridges of your brain and it clears
Speaker 3: out neurotoxics, so you much clear throughout the day. Now,
Speaker 3: some people eat at the ten o'clock and it messes
Speaker 3: with that function. So sometime you wake up and your
Speaker 3: brain is a little foggy and things of that nature.
Speaker 3: You need a whole lot of coffee, so you can
Speaker 3: we know some guys like that, yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 3: especially in an entrepreneur world. I used to have I
Speaker 3: used to need coffee, like addicted to coffee. And that's
Speaker 3: one of the things that it actually does is it
Speaker 3: helped curve certain addictions, like coffee addictions, you understand me,
Speaker 3: and London, it was used to curve alcoholism. But to
Speaker 3: my point though, the fact that when people go to
Speaker 3: sleep and they get into the deep sleep, they become
Speaker 3: much more well rested, you understand me. Their brain is
Speaker 3: much clearer, that moved memory and learning is now facilitated
Speaker 3: to when they wake up they feel sharper, you understanding.
Speaker 3: They neurons are connected, so now their memory is increased
Speaker 3: and things of that nature. So now they talk about,
Speaker 3: oh I ain't got smarter, I'm more focused things of
Speaker 3: that nature. The average person doesn't get the correct amount
Speaker 3: of sleep, and when they do sleep, they don't sleep
Speaker 3: based on a biological function. They sleep based on their
Speaker 3: work time and when they need to get up.
Speaker 4: Now, it's actually very true, and it's something that especially
Speaker 4: for entrepreneurs because there's a lot of entrepreneurs that listen
Speaker 4: to ear Lesia and I'm even guilty of it myself.
Speaker 4: But you gotta get a good night sleep. It's like
Speaker 4: your parents tell you that when you're a kid, but
Speaker 4: it's something that most people are sleep deprived. And not
Speaker 4: only does it affect your health, but it affects you
Speaker 4: your mental capacity. It affects everything, your mood, your mood
Speaker 4: swings and all kinds of stuff. And it's just like,
Speaker 4: that's why there's a reason why, like pilots have to
Speaker 4: have a certain amount of rest time, and like truckers
Speaker 4: have to have a certain amount of trust because it's
Speaker 4: like your brain is not fully functioning at a high
Speaker 4: level if you're tired. That's like the easiest way to
Speaker 4: really explain it, Like your brain's not sure at a
Speaker 4: high level when you're tired. So we can talk about business,
Speaker 4: but we also have to talk about health if your
Speaker 4: health isn't there, and that's a major part of health
Speaker 4: for sure.
Speaker 2: I think one of the things you've said, and you
Speaker 2: brought up the word addiction, and I was like, yo,
Speaker 2: obviously listening to you, I'm like, Yo, that's brilliant, right,
Speaker 2: Like you said you were addicted to production and productivity
Speaker 2: versus procrastination. When when did you get to this level
Speaker 2: of productivity? Was it like you know what all money in,
Speaker 2: I got it?
Speaker 5: This is me? Or nothing? Like how do we get
Speaker 5: to that level of consciousness? And thought?
Speaker 3: You know, it's been a journey of really learning myself.
Speaker 3: Understand me? Like, so I got a story of the
Speaker 3: first lazy person in history. Understand me, and the first
Speaker 3: lazy person in history. You gotta imagine it's two people
Speaker 3: and say they in Egypt and they building the pyramid.
Speaker 3: Understand me, And one of them just stopped me, like,
Speaker 3: you know what, let's do this tomorrow, and bro, like,
Speaker 3: what's tomorrow? You're like, well, it's a time where we
Speaker 3: don't have to do it right now, but we can
Speaker 3: do it later. And to me, that idea of tomorrow
Speaker 3: is for procrastinators, you understand me. It's for people that
Speaker 3: are lazy. And I remember when I felt like I
Speaker 3: was procrastinating and I wanted to get certain things done,
Speaker 3: and I actually took a course on how not to procrastinate.
Speaker 3: You understand me, Like that's the type of person I am, Like,
Speaker 3: I want to study self. Understand me. So I started
Speaker 3: studying the science of procrastination. And so it's like, let's
Speaker 3: say that scientists had did a scan and a study
Speaker 3: on a person that procrastinates and the task that they
Speaker 3: actually need to want to complete, and there was a
Speaker 3: correlation between pain and procrastination. You understand me that when
Speaker 3: a person thinks about a task that they don't want
Speaker 3: to do, it lights up the same signals in a
Speaker 3: brain that pain does. So performing that task would literally
Speaker 3: be painful for instead, they're like, you know what, I'll
Speaker 3: do that later, you understand me, because it's too painful
Speaker 3: to go to that threshold. So that's why I consider
Speaker 3: procrastination the abortion clinical genius. Understand me, Like, instead of
Speaker 3: going through and birth in that thought, you are afraid
Speaker 3: of that. And there's a part when a woman gets
Speaker 3: pregnant to where she's about to give birth. It's called
Speaker 3: the crowning face. It's the most painful aspect of it,
Speaker 3: trying to push that baby out. Yeah, that's when she
Speaker 3: kind of want to retort a little bit like nah.
Speaker 3: But for entrepreneurs, you have the idea, understand me, and
Speaker 3: you have to go through that painful process of keeping
Speaker 3: that idea protected during the pregnancy of that idea and
Speaker 3: then when it's really time for you to give birth
Speaker 3: to it, that's when you might procrastinate the most because
Speaker 3: that's when the fear comes, like, damn, what if I
Speaker 3: actually successful with this whatever it may be? Understand me.
Speaker 3: So a lot of people procrastinate and their genius never
Speaker 3: gets birth, that idea never comes to fruition. So for me,
Speaker 3: I think, especially after I fired my job, I just
Speaker 3: knew that it was all dependent on me, that there's
Speaker 3: no paycheck. I'm definitely not going back to a job.
Speaker 3: So I knew that whatever that parachute that has to
Speaker 3: open when you jump off that cliff, that I had
Speaker 3: to make that my work ethic. Understand me. So I
Speaker 3: find a way every single day to get something done,
Speaker 3: you understand me. And then doing something every day, I
Speaker 3: assure that I don't procrastinate.
Speaker 4: What's your what's your what's your your daily routine? Because
Speaker 4: I used to do list. I don't know if you
Speaker 4: use a to do list, but like, because this is
Speaker 4: something that's like procrastination is a real big thing. It's
Speaker 4: something that's small in the grand scheme of thing, but
Speaker 4: it's huge because it's like this stops people from actually
Speaker 4: doing anything, Like most people are procrastinating by nature. So
Speaker 4: like I said, for me personally, I have a to
Speaker 4: do list and that kind of helps me. But even
Speaker 4: with that, I don't always finish everything' about to do.
Speaker 4: So like, do you have like a set thing where
Speaker 4: I like, I'm not going to sleep like my man
Speaker 4: Spurgo shout out to Spurgo. That's what he was like
Speaker 4: when he was just starting out some T shirts. He
Speaker 4: was like eleven years old, twelve years old. He was
Speaker 4: like he did he made it a point where he
Speaker 4: told his mom He's not going home until he got
Speaker 4: rid of every T shirt. So he didn't have an
Speaker 4: option of going home until he got rid of his
Speaker 4: T shirts. Like you know what I'm saying, So like
Speaker 4: what's what's your what's your your method that you use
Speaker 4: for procrastinating.
Speaker 3: It's interesting because I think I've gotten to a good
Speaker 3: mindset where I'm at and me, I don't put pressure
Speaker 3: on myself, understand me, I more so have a big goal,
Speaker 3: right and let's say I know what I need to
Speaker 3: get done throughout this week, and I more so make
Speaker 3: sure that every single day I'm doing something towards that goal.
Speaker 3: And I more have a better system of management. You
Speaker 3: understand me, rather than just creating strict standards. So and management,
Speaker 3: especially in business terms, is and ministering your activities to
Speaker 3: get to set obligation and goals. So for me, every
Speaker 3: day I have to think how I'm going to manage myself.
Speaker 3: Do I focus on Goldwater today? Do I focus on
Speaker 3: nineteen Keys today? Do I focus on the politics of
Speaker 3: the world? Do I focus on the revolution?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 3: Which one? Am I giving my energy to understand me?
Speaker 3: Because I'm polymatic. My skill sets spanned in many different areas.
Speaker 3: So with doing that, you can find yourself, you know,
Speaker 3: spread pretty thin. And I try to make sure that
Speaker 3: I don't do that. I put things over my weeks.
Speaker 3: Understand me, Like this week we're doing the family business meeting,
Speaker 3: we're doing the gold Water. We were making sure that
Speaker 3: we're doing the branding and marketing the other week. You
Speaker 3: know what, we got to focus on the people. Understand me.
Speaker 3: I have to create the training regiments. We got to
Speaker 3: go out there and show them what's the time and
Speaker 3: what needs to happen during this time. Understand me. So
Speaker 3: it's more so a system of management every day. But
Speaker 3: then in my book, paradigm keys solution based mind reprogramming.
Speaker 3: I do outlet a regiment and win in the morning
Speaker 3: and throughout the day. You understand me. And really, I
Speaker 3: take cold showers and I've been doing that for about
Speaker 3: two years. And them cold showers is to remind you daily, yo,
Speaker 3: And they remind me of my goal because it's an incantation,
Speaker 3: like it's a physical thing that's also attached to your goal. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so when I wake up, I know it reminds me
Speaker 3: of what I'm doing it for. So now I'm thinking,
Speaker 3: like you took this cold shower, what you take it for?
Speaker 3: Understand me. Now, I got to think of a goal
Speaker 3: that I must complete. But it's true and tried and
Speaker 3: test it anytime that I win. The morning, I wake up,
Speaker 3: I do my push ups, I get in some meditation
Speaker 3: before I touch this phone, so my brain not reactive.
Speaker 3: I take my gold water, I do my cold showers.
Speaker 3: I burst my teeth with the opposite hand, I may read.
Speaker 3: My mind is ready. I make my bed up. You
Speaker 3: understand me. I smell first thing when I get up.
Speaker 3: If I follow that regiment, Understand me, my mind is
Speaker 3: looking for the next task. Understand me, because I'm already
Speaker 3: on the road.
Speaker 4: You have to shock your system. I learned that earlier.
Speaker 4: I used to play basketball superstar Star. Okay, sorry, now
Speaker 4: I take an ice bath and ice pass for recovery.
Speaker 4: But it's also it shocks your system. And so if
Speaker 4: anybody knows, like you know cold, like I hate cold.
Speaker 4: We've been having this conversation all month. Everybody else loves
Speaker 4: cold for some reason. So, but but warm, warm temperatures
Speaker 4: kind of like relax. You and Susi and so I
Speaker 4: used to live in Hawaii and any island that you
Speaker 4: go to, people are more relax, laid back, don't worry,
Speaker 4: which is a good thing, but it's also kind of
Speaker 4: like it can you. It can kind of like make
Speaker 4: you to the point where you don't want to do
Speaker 4: anything right because it's like, but when you shock your system,
Speaker 4: it's like cold, so like you wake up. So I
Speaker 4: say that to say little things like that, you have
Speaker 4: to change your patterns, like you said, like brush your
Speaker 4: teeth with the opportunity.
Speaker 5: I'm in my mind, I'm like, I just want to
Speaker 5: know the reason for it.
Speaker 3: Well, when you do that, you stimulate them nervesselves, because
Speaker 3: now your brain is not operating from a program it's
Speaker 3: operating outside the box of how you normally program. You
Speaker 3: understand me. And so now those particular parts of your
Speaker 3: brain and strengthen and neumal connections and neural activity up there.
Speaker 3: You understand me. So now you're breaking from your normal regimen.
Speaker 3: Like anything that you do, that's your routine. You don't
Speaker 3: have to think. Understand me. That's putting no pressure on yourself,
Speaker 3: no growth whatsoever. It's just a routine. Which is why
Speaker 3: you can become comfortable as an entrepreneur because you get
Speaker 3: used to a certain level. You understand me, and in
Speaker 3: that level, there's no accomplishment in the maintenance of a level.
Speaker 3: That's just routine. You understand me. It's not until you
Speaker 3: want to go to another level. Now you gotta grow.
Speaker 3: Understand me, and so it's about neural growth. You understand me,
Speaker 3: because now your brain has to think. You're using the
Speaker 3: opposite hand. Do I go up and down? Do I
Speaker 3: go a rotate? You understand me. Now your brain is
Speaker 3: actually functioning.
Speaker 5: For the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking of a time when I had
Speaker 2: to we had no hot water, I had to take
Speaker 2: a coach show.
Speaker 5: It was it sounded like somebody was getting hurt in
Speaker 5: the back.
Speaker 4: But even that's why you should take different rids home
Speaker 4: from work, because it's like something like if you take
Speaker 4: the same route home from work every single day, like
Speaker 4: you're being, like you said's program even something slightest that
Speaker 4: taking a different route, it reprograms your brain because now
Speaker 4: you have to actually think, because it's not you could
Speaker 4: just literally get in your car and drive and just
Speaker 4: not even think about it if you go the same
Speaker 4: way everywhere. So little stuff like that has seemingly important.
Speaker 4: I like what you said as far as like entrepreneurs
Speaker 4: becoming comfortable, because like people say, you can become comfortable
Speaker 4: at a job, but you can also become comfortable as
Speaker 4: an entrepreneur. Absolutely like you to making enough money you
Speaker 4: survived on whatever, how much money is whatever. But it's
Speaker 4: like you're at that level, and it's like now to
Speaker 4: make the next level, to start a new business, to
Speaker 4: enhance your business, to hire new people. It's like, now
Speaker 4: that's scared. Even though you've already made the first jump,
Speaker 4: you still have to continue to It's.
Speaker 5: Like keep a joint.
Speaker 4: It's like Mario Brothers.
Speaker 5: Level.
Speaker 4: It's the game's not over until it's over.
Speaker 3: My mottol is life is about the journey, not the destination.
Speaker 3: Only destination life is death. And my pops used to
Speaker 3: tell me that time is a measurement of motion. Only
Speaker 3: dead man don't move. So when I think about that,
Speaker 3: as long as you stay in motion in life, then
Speaker 3: you actually live it like you are alive. But you
Speaker 3: get to a point when you go look at that
Speaker 3: retirement home, they're moving slower and slower into one day.
Speaker 3: They don't move at all. So for my goal is
Speaker 3: to be constant in perpetual motion.
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, it's powerful. It's powerful, and it's something that,
Speaker 4: like you said, most people don't even think about it. Nah,
Speaker 4: And then it's like before you know it, you're like
Speaker 4: seven years old and it's like you done slowed down.
Speaker 3: Your joints are working. Nah, I can't do that.
Speaker 4: Traveling helps a lot too, though.
Speaker 3: I love traveling. Traveling, understand me, because it activates different
Speaker 3: hemispheres of the brain when you travel. It activates DNA
Speaker 3: within you when you travel. I just left Mexico and
Speaker 3: it was just something that I felt connected, you understand me.
Speaker 3: Like I was out there with the homies and they yeah,
Speaker 3: shouting Neill, we flew out there, they had left. I
Speaker 3: actually went to the airport and I got all the
Speaker 3: way to the gate, but something told me to stay
Speaker 3: a couple more days. And yeah, when I turn back left,
Speaker 3: I came back and the homie was coming out there,
Speaker 3: my good brother Pop Darby, and so we went to
Speaker 3: the what's the days you understand Me? And there's some
Speaker 3: diving and things of that nature. And I actually it
Speaker 3: felt like now I felt like I've been to Mexico. Now,
Speaker 3: I felt like I connected, you understand me?
Speaker 4: Like you got two kind of people in this world,
Speaker 4: those that asked why and those that say why not?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 4: Why not? Like like Jamal shot at Jamal. We went
Speaker 4: to Asia a few years ago for thirty days with
Speaker 4: no itinerary. We just winged it with the five countries.
Speaker 4: And me was like, why would you do that? Why
Speaker 4: would I not do that?
Speaker 2: That's the question live, I mean life, like we ain't
Speaker 2: get no repeats at this, only get one shot.
Speaker 3: So no, go ahead.
Speaker 4: I want to talk about your programs because you got
Speaker 4: you got several different programs that you have. As you said,
Speaker 4: you you you quit your job, you fired your job
Speaker 4: teacher to be a teacher. I like that, and I
Speaker 4: teach you like a public school teacher, but disrespect the
Speaker 4: public teacher.
Speaker 3: I become a teacher. I fired my job to start
Speaker 3: a business.
Speaker 4: That's a fact. Dropped out of school to become a teacher.
Speaker 4: You can't teach me. I'm teaching you exactly. So what
Speaker 4: what What's what's the deal with your education? Because I
Speaker 4: looked at you got a couple of different platforms.
Speaker 3: So we had the New America class that was earlier
Speaker 3: in the year. Usually only teach one master class a year,
Speaker 3: and that's just because at the beginning of the year,
Speaker 3: I think about what's going to be the concept for
Speaker 3: the year and what's going to be the thinking structure,
Speaker 3: and I usually give all of that out as far
Speaker 3: as what's going to be my business plan, what I'm
Speaker 3: going to do, what are my thinking strategies for this year?
Speaker 3: And I give all of that to my students. And
Speaker 3: so we do the New America, which is really explaining
Speaker 3: what the world is. You understand me, and how it's
Speaker 3: going to artificial intelligence and mobilization, automation, digitization, You understand me,
Speaker 3: and if your skill sets don't include those, then you're
Speaker 3: not leveraged the right way. And then it was also
Speaker 3: explaining the sad stress, anxiety, depression, suicide, that as these
Speaker 3: things continue to mount and increase, that that emotional turmoil
Speaker 3: starts to uprise as well. So it was a combination
Speaker 3: of teaching both of those classes. We went over new
Speaker 3: business structures, concepts, neighborhood networks, We went over the most
Speaker 3: valuable skills when it comes towards artificial intelligence and it
Speaker 3: comes to astract entrepreneurship, a multitude of different things. We
Speaker 3: really laid out a really good framework and then when
Speaker 3: we was done with that one, we moved towards the
Speaker 3: Web standard. So we had the market keys because as
Speaker 3: the recession had just hit, I thought about twenty twelve
Speaker 3: recession and was thinking that during that time we had
Speaker 3: to go through it along. Understand me, but it said
Speaker 3: that this is a recession everybody has to go through,
Speaker 3: but nobody has to go through it along. Now we
Speaker 3: have social media. Now we have all these digital entrepreneurs
Speaker 3: that can help teachers and help cultures through this time.
Speaker 3: So I said, well, let's put together this market keys,
Speaker 3: me and Chris Cole so that we can actually teach
Speaker 3: skill sets that a person can leverage during this time
Speaker 3: to produce them income. And now we have students that's
Speaker 3: constantly hitting us. I made five thousand a day, I
Speaker 3: made ten thousand this week, blah blah blah sa. But
Speaker 3: it was like, how do you give somebody something applicable,
Speaker 3: not some motivation without instruction is dangerous, you understand me, Like,
Speaker 3: I never want to do that. So it's like, let
Speaker 3: me teach some real skill sets that's going to be valuable.
Speaker 3: So we put together the market keys, and then we
Speaker 3: start put together the Web standard, and the Web Standard,
Speaker 3: of course is you know what we just went over,
Speaker 3: but that system of accountability, how you go towards wealth,
Speaker 3: how you understand the money markets, understanding the history of money.
Speaker 3: You understand me understanding portfolio diversification, skill set diversification, marketing business.
Speaker 3: And then we have the part where we have a
Speaker 3: million dollar Bitcoin initiative where our students receive one hundred
Speaker 3: dollars in bitcoin when they go to the largest crypto
Speaker 3: conference that's going to be held out, which is Digital
Speaker 3: this year because of the COVID nineteen. And then they
Speaker 3: also receive a Grammar silver, they get one of my
Speaker 3: books which is called nineteen Seas of Content, which I
Speaker 3: only give out during my master classes. You understand me,
Speaker 3: and it's my strategy to how to produce and monetize content.
Speaker 3: It's like a bible for you, you understand me, And
Speaker 3: a multitude of other different things that we give them,
Speaker 3: Like we went over how to get your family backed
Speaker 3: by gold, and that was a really powerful one because
Speaker 3: the Wealth Standard initially was going to be called the
Speaker 3: Gold standard. You understand me. Understanding why money's not backed
Speaker 3: by gold and that you know these particular things never
Speaker 3: actually really pay off debts, is only a promise to pay.
Speaker 3: Really break down the history and really get into the
Speaker 3: money systems and understand the type of system that we in.
Speaker 3: But we really give people financial education that they can utilize.
Speaker 3: And then I really want you to go to the
Speaker 3: West Standard first, and then I believe you ready for
Speaker 3: market keys because we got a lot of parents now
Speaker 3: they want their children to trade. But it's like teach
Speaker 3: your children money a financial education first, don't give them
Speaker 3: a skill set that make them money, and then they're
Speaker 3: still terrible with money management. You understand me. So I
Speaker 3: would rather you go through the West Standard first. And
Speaker 3: we have the product development course. So the product development course,
Speaker 3: because all our products are vertically integrated, we don't white
Speaker 3: label anything. So that means that we're going to teach
Speaker 3: our students everything you need to know as far as
Speaker 3: producing a product, give you one hundred K blueprint towards
Speaker 3: producing a product, and then also give you an MOQ
Speaker 3: of fifty products so we actually go produce your products
Speaker 3: at the same time, the labeling, the branding, the marketing,
Speaker 3: everything that needs to be done within this course. It's
Speaker 3: a real from ideation to shell type thing. And we're
Speaker 3: going to pick five students that's a part of the
Speaker 3: program to where you know, we the mentor partner with
Speaker 3: them through the process and they get two hundred of
Speaker 3: their product actually made through it. So we have that,
Speaker 3: we have a bunch of things coming. So we have
Speaker 3: the all minuted reality, we're teaching a course in a
Speaker 3: minute reality and coding as well because that's part of
Speaker 3: my Mad Skills program. How many students in right now
Speaker 3: We are close at about five hundred. We just started
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so like they get their skill sets within
Speaker 2: the program, and like how do we assessing it? Right,
Speaker 2: Like based on something I'm doing, you'll say, like this
Speaker 2: is a skill set that probably matches you.
Speaker 3: Right, So you're going to get the West Standard. The
Speaker 3: West Standard is really a financial education piece. Understanding. You're
Speaker 3: really going to have the skill set of understanding portfolio diversification.
Speaker 3: And you get in that, you get our market signals, right,
Speaker 3: so you get a month free of market signals daily,
Speaker 3: whether it's four X, whether it's futures understanding, whatever it
Speaker 3: may be. And then so those are different programs inside
Speaker 3: of it. But if you don't understand money and money
Speaker 3: management and the money market and things of that nature,
Speaker 3: you're really not prepared for everything else, I understand me. So,
Speaker 3: like the product development courses a separate one, but unless
Speaker 3: you went through the Well Standard, you're a part of
Speaker 3: that network. You won't get access to that, understand me.
Speaker 3: Same thing with the augmented reality, same thing with the coding.
Speaker 3: All of those are only available to our networks.
Speaker 5: So it's like prerequisites.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Basically, like I believe in digital education, I believe
Speaker 3: in taking over Harvard. I believe in taking over that
Speaker 3: educational sphere, and I believe that that's actually one of
Speaker 3: the ways that black people can go towards wealth is
Speaker 3: by supplementing their income by teaching that fact.
Speaker 2: This is the last thing I hear in my mind,
Speaker 2: like the Black Dreams Matter campaign, is that part of
Speaker 2: the see or so.
Speaker 3: Black Dreams Matter. I created that years ago. So I
Speaker 3: actually created Black Dreams Matter, I understand Me, and it
Speaker 3: went viral. My bro Keita he was on and so
Speaker 3: you think you can dance? I believe he had won
Speaker 3: and he had worried a viral video with one of
Speaker 3: Kendrick Lamar's songs. And that was the first time I
Speaker 3: actually had an apparel that went viral. You understand me.
Speaker 3: And I was making some money off of excuse Me.
Speaker 3: And so the Black Dreams Matter was more so saying
Speaker 3: that most of our movements about dead black men and women,
Speaker 3: none of them encompasses the life while you're living. Because
Speaker 3: if you worry about somebody dream, you really thinking about
Speaker 3: the value of that person and wanting to help them
Speaker 3: actually produce that dream. And so we created Black Dreams
Speaker 3: Matter as a counterproduct to say that we have to
Speaker 3: care about each other while we live in not just
Speaker 3: when we die. You understand me, And so I want
Speaker 3: to see your dream actually flourish. And so that's been
Speaker 3: going probably for about five six years. And that was
Speaker 3: just more so a thought campaign, a concept and to
Speaker 3: think about the world instead of waiting for the next
Speaker 3: black man to die for you to care, think about
Speaker 3: the average living black man that you walk past, who
Speaker 3: has a life, who has a dream, who has an
Speaker 3: idea that you don't care about. But if you became
Speaker 3: a headline and you're streaming for.
Speaker 4: His life, now that's that's that's extremely powerful. As far
Speaker 4: as the education, because that's our whole thing. As far
Speaker 4: as you know, education, A lot of times people think
Speaker 4: it only comes in way of school, and like me personally,
Speaker 4: I hate the school, but I always love to learn.
Speaker 4: So now it's like it's dope because now we have
Speaker 4: different platforms online where you can actually learn from people
Speaker 4: that look like you, that that sound like you, that
Speaker 4: talk like you, and it's it's easier to adapt and
Speaker 4: to pick up that information. So yeah, the wealth standing.
Speaker 4: Like I said, I've been checking it out and I
Speaker 4: appreciate you giving us a discount exclusively for EYL community
Speaker 4: your rock. So you're gonna put the link in the
Speaker 4: buy if you're listening to this on YouTube or Apple
Speaker 4: or Spotify, the link will being a description and just
Speaker 4: enter code e y L e y L. You get
Speaker 4: a special special discount that only E y L community
Speaker 4: gets the biggest platform that So yeah, I appreciate that, man.
Speaker 4: But any any last words that you you want to
Speaker 4: leave the people with, how can they how can they
Speaker 4: contact you? Social media all that stuff?
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything nineteen keys on nineteen underscore keys, depending on
Speaker 3: the platform. But you know, if there was any last message,
Speaker 3: you know, I just think about where we're at today
Speaker 3: as a people and the opportunities that we have to
Speaker 3: make massive change. Understand me, and it requires that we do.
Speaker 3: Of course, we listen, but it's the time of the executors.
Speaker 3: You understand me, and that each person should help themselves
Speaker 3: up to a certain standard and everybody should think about
Speaker 3: how do I do business with my family? You understand me?
Speaker 3: And one of the things that you should come together
Speaker 3: and think about is what's our vision, what's our mission,
Speaker 3: and what's our values? Understand me, because if you can
Speaker 3: agree on those, then you're ready.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: I had a viral video that went out and it
Speaker 3: was talking about the difference between family and friends, and
Speaker 3: you know, family can be somebody that you related with
Speaker 3: by blood, understand me, but or relatives rather can be
Speaker 3: somebody you related with by blood. Family of those who
Speaker 3: bind it by their relationship, that reciprocal love that you
Speaker 3: all have for each other. So when you think about
Speaker 3: your family, it doesn't just speak about the people that's
Speaker 3: you know, you share DNA with, or share marriage certificate with,
Speaker 3: and things of that nature. It's really the people you
Speaker 3: spend the most time with, the people that you can
Speaker 3: build with. So if you have three to five individuals
Speaker 3: that you can mastermind with, consider them your family and
Speaker 3: start building with them. Because a family is a microcosm
Speaker 3: to producing a nation. And without a family unit, without
Speaker 3: a mastermind unit, which gives you access to information, knowledge
Speaker 3: and tools and resources you normally couldn't achieve on your own,
Speaker 3: we will never get to where we want to be
Speaker 3: as a people. We can produce the greatest ideas, we
Speaker 3: can have the greatest concepts, we can talk the greatest
Speaker 3: shit in the world. But without a family, there is
Speaker 3: no web standard. Without a family, there is no power.
Speaker 3: And every other community and culture in the world knows
Speaker 3: this to be a fact, and they knows this to
Speaker 3: be true. And if you want to think about the
Speaker 3: greatest thing that white supremacy has ever done, it's kept
Speaker 3: the black family separated.
Speaker 4: Have any power there you gentlemen, powerful, young Malcolm powerful,
Speaker 4: A lot of gyms right there. We appreciate you coming on,
Speaker 4: Brother Troy.

Speaker 3: Then I guess you can give the book tip.
Speaker 4: But yeah, I'm gonna let the brother get a books
Speaker 4: tip because you got a couple of books. So what's
Speaker 4: what's the book? We give a book tip? So yeah,
Speaker 4: what's what's what book? Do do they need to borrow
Speaker 4: from you?
Speaker 3: Oh? Nineteen keys solution based mind reprogramming. You understand me.
Speaker 3: It will teach you how not to procrastinate and it'll
Speaker 3: give you the skill set to reprogram yourself. During this time,
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people are trying to figure out,
Speaker 3: like where do I start? Somebody listening to this right now, like, Yo,
Speaker 3: where do I start? These brothers seem intelligent. I've been
Speaker 3: listening to this stuff, but unfortunately, some people listen to
Speaker 3: conscious content as junk food. You understand me. They get
Speaker 3: addicted to it, but they don't really utilize it to
Speaker 3: where it actually manifests a change. And the information in
Speaker 3: my book is so that you can do an instant
Speaker 3: reprogramming by following the steps and the information that's actually
Speaker 3: in the books so you can execute.
