You 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:46.320 got something on your mind? Hello? Whose this? Yeah, Josh, Josh, 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:48.640 get it off your chest first. Always want to say, man, 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.080 I listen you guys every day. I love you guys. 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:53.240 You guys are awesome. Thank you. Man U is Charletmagne 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.440 in today, Yes, I am, sir. That's amazing. Y'all got 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:59.400 to ask him on in the day you kill me 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:00.800 when out went out. I listen to you guys and 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:02.840 don't here that yo yo yo yo yo. At the beginning, 0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:05.199 all right, well, this is for you man, for Charletts, Maine. 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.200 You know, I understand that a couple of days ago 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:08.759 you said that you wanted your daughter to bring home 0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.840 the same race that that you guys are, which is black. 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:15.319 I understand that completely. But seven out of ten domestic 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.440 violences that are reported on a female are from a 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.000 black guy. How would you feel if you kept putting 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:22.800 it on your daughter about dating the black guy, but 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:24.640 then she was getting beat up all the time. First 0:01:24.640 --> 0:01:26.040 of all, I don't even know if the statistic is 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:28.600 really and it's coming and it's coming from a white man. Sorry, 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.600 used to believe it. It's real, It's real. Google it. 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:34.280 You sound like the Jeeves. Yeah, I mean that's that's 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.080 like saying, you know a majority of black people in 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:40.040 America have probably been killed by white people historically, whether 0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:43.640 we go from slavery to Jim Crow, segregation to now. So, 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:45.399 so I should never let my daughter day the white man. 0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.960 The white man has historically been behind every mass carnage 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:50.960 and murder in America. So I should never let her 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.400 my daughter day to white man just saying she dates 0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:55.440 of Jacob or Stephen Man, she might be more comfortable. 0:01:55.440 --> 0:02:00.440 You never know, man, get off my phone. He got 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:04.000 that devil. I don't know where he got that statistics. Ki, okay, 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.160 get it off your chests. I didn't call him that either. 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:07.840 By the way, I said before I called him, before 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:09.919 you called crack ass cracker. You know what I'm saying. 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:11.600 I took a deep breath. We got you. You know 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.520 before I say, did you think to whoever he is, hello, 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:17.519 who's this ing it? That was that Brandon? Get it 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:20.560 off your chests? All right? So I've got two things, well, 0:02:20.600 --> 0:02:24.240 mainly for Charlotte Magagne, but all um telling me, I 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.520 know you're talking about how are your munch caller or 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.840 South Carolina and all that? Yes, sir um, So are 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:33.520 you implemented any like mental programs for like the young 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.839 kids so they don't do any of these crazy things? 0:02:35.840 --> 0:02:38.280 Because if people are interested in union into the dustry 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.080 like TV, film, radio, because anything that you're introducing to 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.720 those kids down downs off where you're from and say hey, 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.359 you can do this instead of bt to me crazy 0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:48.160 or keep keep up the street. Yeah, you know, I've 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:49.639 been doing that for a while because I got a 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.160 nonprofit called Third Eye Awareness, and like one of the 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.839 first initiatives we did years years years ago was called 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:57.880 the No Matrix movement, and it was the show kids 0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:59.919 that there was other career options other than wrapping apple. 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.880 But we do a mentorship program every year that my 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.960 cousin and Kenta does, and you know, basically we just 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:10.079 show guys other career options. And I know that always 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.880 sounds like hypocritical coming from me because I'm in the 0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.760 entertainment business. But I mean I know a lot of 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.520 doctors and lawyers and engineers and architects and politicians and 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.280 tech guys cold creators. And I'm not always talking about 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.080 like on air or suff like may behind the seming 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:27.240 stuff like sound more camera anytime, some stuff like that. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.720 Oh yeah, I always encourage kids to do that before 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:32.880 they get into the before they become on air personalities. 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.880 Like I think that, you know, the pro the program 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.600 inside of things in radio is lacking, Like you know, 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.480 we need those next program directors and music directors. Yeah. 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.840 By because I'm gonna say right now, I'm like one 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.040 of those two black dudes on set, like I'm working 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.680 for T show right now in California and camera cruit 0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:51.640 camera people stay getting work all the time, all the time. 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:55.360 One more thing, U ye, I have one thing to you. Yeah, 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:57.400 you had Melvin call in and he's saying that all 0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.880 the things about him calling a girl and get upset 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:01.880 with her about the conversation that he would have not 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.720 getting with her. Correct And you're promoting men doing better 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:08.040 and talking to me a woman better and doing all 0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.840 these things to better men, right, So why would you 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.080 giving it's a little hypocritical to say that to men 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:17.679 and then tell a loot of women or condone women 0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.680 not being up in an honest with men saying okay, 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.840 I'm not interested, instead of ignoring them and doing things 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:25.760 like that. Yes there are men who are crazy. Yes 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.080 there are men who are doing these wild things. Once 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:31.080 for not doing that. Listen, if a woman is not responding, 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:33.440 If a woman is not responding to you, my whole point, 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:36.080 And it doesn't have to be mutually. I mean, it 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.080 could be two different things. But if a woman's not 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:39.839 responding you, that doesn't give you the right to be 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:42.080 nasty and root to her. That's all I'm saying. I'm 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:43.600 not saying. I'm not saying to be nasty at all. 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.960 I'm saying the ones who are front, honest and saying 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:48.680 the things that they need to say that are correct 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.000 for two women like no that at one at the 0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:54.000 beginning at least, is it a little hypocritical to say, okay, 0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:56.160 it's okay for her to ignore him. I didn't say 0:04:56.160 --> 0:04:57.960 it's okay, but it is okay for her to ignore 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.000 him if she's not interested. She doesn't owe him anything. 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.760 She doesn't even know him. I know she doesn't owe 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:05.440 him anything. She wasn't she wasn't nasty, she wasn't rude 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:08.040 to him, she didn't lie to him about anything. Sometimes 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:09.880 you just have to take the hint. If someone doesn't 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:11.360 want to talk to you and doesn't have to want 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:14.320 to respond to you, they did not obligated to worry you, 0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.159 got it? So that's all like, listen, take the clue. 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.599 I'm not interested. I just didn't respond. You know it 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:22.080 didn't work out. Get it off your chest eight hundred 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:23.880 five A five one oh five one. If you need 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:25.600 to vent, you can hit this up right now.

Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:04.600 Everybody is DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlemagne the guy we 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.880 are the Breakfast Claude. You got a special guests in 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:09.480 the building. Yes, it's good to be back. Good to 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.600 be back, come back. You're probably super high off life 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.240 right now. I after watching d have that marvelous come back. Oh, 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:15.480 it's a good one. It's a good one. I like 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.400 seeing other teams cry. It's pretty funny. Let's talk about 0:10:18.400 --> 0:10:22.240 the business. Yes, and I see all y'all businesses all 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:24.800 the time. I know about you on real estate. I 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:26.719 know about you and your juice bars. I see what 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:29.400 you do. Obviously we share somebody together and Karen Kenny. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.400 So I mean it's really about how you evolve your 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.640 own business. And now I think it's actually somewhat culturally 0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.360 relevant to beat business savvy, where that hasn't always been 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:40.079 the case. Man, That's not always been the case. We've 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.480 been so busy being consumers for so long that was 0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:46.440 just all this emphasis on ownership and entrepreneurship. I'll tell you, man, 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.160 when I first came out of college, I got a 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.360 chance to start reading a book that really changed my life. 0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:53.360 It was called Power Noomics by Claude Anderson. Right, none 0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:55.439 of you guys have heard about it, and uh, it's 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.200 so incredible where it talks about, Hey, you know, right 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.880 after Jim Crow, when everybody felt like they were doing 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:05.040 African Americans such a service by desegregating socially, but that 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.720 was just one of the symptoms. That wasn't the cause 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:10.000 of the issue, right, and how it should have been 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.920 about the redistribution of wealth and power because the reality 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:16.319 is that that was always maintained by Caucasian people for 0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:18.960 a very long time. So it's not until right now 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.319 that we have certain African Americans that are in that 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.400 rarefied air. And there's so many times where, you know, 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:26.360 for me going to a school like Duke and play 0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:28.760 in this game, I'm the only black person early minority 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:31.199 in the room, in the room, and I have to 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:32.760 be comfortable in my own skin. But then when I 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:34.760 go back to my home, I was being called an 0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:36.600 uncle Tom or sellout because I was trying to play 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.160 in that world and trying to establish myself business wise. 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.600 And now I think it's cool to be smart. It's 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:43.560 cool to be savvy. It's cool to understand how your 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:45.520 business works in and out, and it's cool to not 0:11:45.679 --> 0:11:48.640 let people be culture vultures and extract from our culture. 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:50.920 And it is important when we become successful that we 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:54.160 do things in the areas where we're from to help 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:57.120 build up those areas. Also, like to own businesses instead 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.120 of letting other people come in and own those businesses. 0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:02.240 And watching what Katie and rich Climate have done is 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.280 pretty it's pretty special because you know, they've made so 0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.480 many investments. They invested in Postmates, which obviously just raised 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.040 another one hundred and fifty million and got you know, 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:12.040 evaluated over a couple of billion dollars at the same time, Like, 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:13.640 this is not a show where we're trying to sit 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.280 here and pound in our chests and tell you all 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:18.040 the different strategies you need to you know, insert into 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:19.880 your business, Like this is a show where we're all 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.559 learning together. Right, So Katie's in the room listening to 0:12:22.640 --> 0:12:24.320 a Steve Bomber like how many times do you get 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.320 a chance to And it's about access too, though, Maine. Right, 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.400 we listened to a story from Steve Bomber. We're like, well, 0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:31.040 how'd you get started? He's like, well, I just happened 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:32.680 to be next to Bill Gates at the right time. 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:37.319 What like. So so now you're telling me, granted, you 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.920 have to have a certain intellect to continue to you know, 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:42.520 leverage your brand and build it, but it's about accessing. 0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:44.319 It's about being around the right kind of people. You 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:48.640 could have the Hamburger stand. We saw Bill Gates. I mean, 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.800 but look, I mean that whole conversation with Steve just 0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:53.520 turned into him owning the Clippers and how they're moving 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.280 to Englewood and how they're going into tax abatements and 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.280 how they're building out retail around it. You're like, oh, 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:00.480 this is like you're looking at this is a multi 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:03.599 billion dollar business and how many minorities do we have 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.360 as far as team ownerships. Even from a woman's perspective, 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.280 like Clara Sai, who is a minority owner of the 0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.800 Brooklyn Nets, like is out here putting in work and 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:14.600 she's from China, and what she's doing with Justice reform, 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.120 what they're doing with the nets, what they did with 0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:18.880 the liberty and buying the liberty. I mean, we need 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.000 to talk about more of that so that becomes the 0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.000 norm and we hear other young people of minority or 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.360 different ethnic backgrounds and understand that they can achieve that 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.520 same thing. That's that's the truth that you know. The 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.360 one problem that we always have is we always feel like, 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.719 well we give excuses too much. Oh, I don't have 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:37.599 any money, I can't start. Oh well they got this, 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:39.959 or I couldn't do that. And that's my problem with 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.360 our people sometimes is sometimes we don't want to put 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:47.160 into work. We sabotage ourselves exactly, well, I can't do this, 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:49.520 I don't have the resources. Like my thing is, it's 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.240 almost like my accident. I used to say why all 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.559 the time, and it's became why not me, Like, yeah, 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.559 I can do it. I mean Robert Johnson started BAT 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.199 with a fifteen thousand dollars loan, Like you can go 0:13:58.280 --> 0:13:59.760 to friends and scrape up money if you have the 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:01.959 right kind of strategy in place, and you surround it 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.480 with the right people. But it's also about allowing our 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.120 young people to have access to the right people. So 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.160 you know, and I look, I'll own it. I think 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.520 sometimes when you try to climb the ladder, you're so 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:14.800 busy climbing, you're so busy trying to achieve that you 0:14:14.880 --> 0:14:18.040 forget to pass it forward. And now I think, watching 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.920 what Lebron's doing, watching what Kad is doing, it's about like, hey, 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.920 let's rise up together, like let's share, listen, let's help 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:25.720 other people. All right, we are more with Jay Williams 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:27.800 when we come back, so don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:36.040 Good morning, the Breakfast Club Morning. Everybody is DJ Envy 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.160 and Jeluyee, Charlomagne the guy. We are the Breakfast Club. 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.600 We have Jay Williams from ESPN in the building. Now. 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.840 The first episodes, you guys are talking about sneakers and 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:46.920 the whole sneaker culture, which was an interesting conversation because 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:49.760 you think about, of course, nowadays with players, it's not 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:52.280 just how great you are on the court. It's also 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.240 more of a lifestyle thing too. It is and also 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.320 even understanding the sneaker business right, And I think it's 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:00.200 something that culturally we're into sneakers, Like, just take it 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:02.480 another level for all the kids out there understand, like, hey, 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:07.200 Footlocker just invested one hundred and fifty million dollars into Goat. Right. 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:11.760 It's a secondary marketing tool for sneakers, secondary market for sneakers, right, 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.880 and it's close to a two billion dollar industry. So 0:15:15.040 --> 0:15:17.600 if you have some pairs of dope kicks, like put 0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.120 them on a stock X, put them on a goat, like, 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:22.320 sell them, you can make three multiple off what you 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.240 pay for because people love the culture of sports. I mean, look, 0:15:25.720 --> 0:15:27.840 I found this out about ESPN a couple of years ago, 0:15:28.320 --> 0:15:31.640 like seven years ago. We used to play heavy metal 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:35.120 music going to break off NBA games. Right now we're 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:37.520 playing hip hop going to breaks. Like hip hop has 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.080 become like pop music to everybody. Right, So if you 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.760 have that culture, if you understand, you know the strength 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:46.160 of it, take advantage of it, and just it comes 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:48.280 with just doing research and doing your due diligence. How 0:15:48.320 --> 0:15:50.760 did you and Katie get a business relationship? I met 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:53.480 Rich climbing man back in two thousand and one from 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:55.480 a party I went to a scooter Bron. Literally we 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.840 were just hanging out with method Man and next thing 0:15:57.880 --> 0:15:59.720 I know, I'm meeting Rich and we talk a little bit. 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:04.080 And then Scott had connected us maybe about a year ago, 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:06.520 and we just started talking about what we do in 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.080 our lives and he was like, Hey, I got this 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:10.560 idea that I want to do with KD. We want 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.000 to find a way to create a platform where we 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:14.960 could bring all of our friends, you know, bring you 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.200 guys on board, talk about what you're doing and have 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.920 conversations about how people got started. Like create a forum 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:21.960 where people are talking about their struggles and how they 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:24.920 start their business, you know, where they see future markets 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:28.920 in their potential industries, and really just work together and 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.880 collaborate and just create content. I mean, everybody is in 0:16:31.920 --> 0:16:35.360 this content while West space anyway, So we can be 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.080 informative with the content that we create with people that 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.520 are able to move the needle from a culture perspective 0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.440 that's still now. We see these guys like Lebron, we 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.720 see k D. Are they anomalies? Are athletes really getting 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:48.720 smarter when it comes to business? I think athletes are 0:16:48.720 --> 0:16:50.440 really getting smarter coming to business out So you've got 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:52.800 those people that are in the rarefied air. But I mean, 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:55.360 look at the TV right, steals that are happening right 0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:58.160 now with sports, it was a multi it was in 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:02.200 the double digit billion dollars that you're getting these rights 0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.480 to sports. So you have athletes that are making more 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:06.639 money than ever right now. You have guys that are 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:10.880 marginal players, right, guys who are scoring eleven twelve points, 0:17:10.920 --> 0:17:14.200 who are signing four years, seventy five million dollars deals. Wow, 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:15.920 and it really makes me want to come back for 0:17:15.960 --> 0:17:19.200 a ten daycome and it's just out there. So I 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:21.520 think that the money is getting so high made that's 0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.640 getting to this point where it's like, all right, great, 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.240 Like you just made seventy million dollars off of four years, 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.000 you know after taxes, say that's thirty five million. How 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:31.479 are you investing that money? What kind of things are 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:33.200 you doing with that money so you can create that 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:37.240 long sustained wealth that we all want, we all talk 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.800 about doing. But then when you see our habits, our 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.960 habits are conducive to doing that because we're spending money 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:45.440 on frivolous stuff. But you know what I realized with 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.359 a lot of players, and not just NBA, NFL, they 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.040 honestly don't know, and a lot of times people around 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.879 them just try to I wouldn't even say fake, they 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:56.639 don't know either, but they just try to invest in 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.399 things that they don't know, and you runs up the 0:17:58.440 --> 0:18:00.600 money all the time. And that's what we do. We're 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.000 helping a lot of players that necessarily don't know what 0:18:03.080 --> 0:18:06.320 they're doing and helping them investing properties and investing things 0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.440 that they'll make money for a long time down the 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:09.800 road because a lot of them just don't know. And 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.000 let me tell you how this happens though, So I 0:18:12.040 --> 0:18:14.560 would see some of my other friends get drafted, and 0:18:14.680 --> 0:18:17.000
