46
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you sit on the sidelines man, and

47
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: and look at a talent like you because of the

48
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: fact that let's let's let's tell everybody you know, you

49
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: kind of got your first you the same ago. So

50
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 1: he's right down from Los Angeles, so you came up.

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: I went to Los Angeles and your first break really

52
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: was doing warm up, correct, Yeah, definitely my first break.

53
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean as a teenager, like obviously, you know, doing

54
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: the hustle of being a stand up and you know,

55
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen years old, off through l A and then

56
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: you know, our first couple of opportunities. I mean, the

57
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: first opportunity I got to do warm up was on

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: Theickelodeon and then to me, I turned that into a business.

59
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: I mean that was enough to pay my Mama and

60
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: Rent and and you know, I was just every every

61
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: show that gave me an opportunity. So I I started

62
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: naming like, you know, the Key and Chails and all

63
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: of that. But I got an opportunity to warm up

64
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: a couple of times on from w B shows and

65
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: even hang out on the set, you know, like you said,

66
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: at different shows like the Jamie Fox Show and Steve

67
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: Barber Show. And that's when I kind of saw how

68
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: big that world actually was and how many jobs and

69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: occupations that you know, one could be existed instead of

70
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: just being in front of the camera, because that's always

71
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: was the case, you know. And your first movie break was,

72
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: I would say, drama line. Correct, Yeah, yeah, I mean

73
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: obviously because I had when I was a teenager from

74
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: doing all of the osinal and stuff. I gotta deal

75
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: with Will Smith. Uh And so he gave me a

76
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: small little roll and many black too. Uh So that

77
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: was probably the first time I was ever in a movie,

78
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: but the first movie that I ever started this drum line.

79
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: Come on, talking about a star. You know, you know

80
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: you carried that movie. You know that was Will Smith movie. Okay, Nick,

81
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: that was Will Smith. But we're talking about you're talking

82
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: about drum line, dude, but they said you are the man.

83
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: You are the man. You know, it was such a

84
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: time that movie. The reason I loved talking to a

85
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: brand like yours and started so young and still relevant

86
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: today is because of the fact that you've grown through

87
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: that whole millennial generational process where you grew up with

88
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: the iPhone, you grew up in the Internet generation, you know,

89
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: emails or you know, I grew up in I was

90
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: born with a rotary dial telephone. You know what I'm saying.

91
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: So you know that just you know when when when

92
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: the when the when the television shows went off when

93
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: I was growing up, you know, they went off at

94
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 1: midnight and you heard the flying and in the national anthem,

95
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: you know, to television used to go off for real,

96
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: one off. You know what we're gonna do, Not go

97
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: to bed, You're gonna go to be a boy. You're

98
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: gonna go to bed. And so you grew up in

99
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 1: a twenty four our world or twenty four our world?

100
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 1: How did that? How did that affect you? Knowing that

101
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: because I see it in your brand and we're gonna

102
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: talk about those layers. But I do want to get

103
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: a good sense of what incredible, which is your company

104
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: divisions that flow out of that tell us about that

105
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: really it uh endless possibilities more than anything. Like you said,

106
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: like you live in a twenty four hour world and

107
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: everything is that your senior chips. There's nothing that you

108
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: can't do. There's nothing that you can't put your mind to,

109
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: and just the ingenuity just based off of your creativity

110
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: is so prevalent in this generation and the mindset they

111
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: don't believe there's any any limits, which is cooled. So

112
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: to be able to approach business life just from a

113
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: high spect of whatever I put my mind and I'm

114
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: gonna make it happen, it's a beautiful thing. And that's

115
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: the and that's the really important that you say that

116
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: because of the fact that a lot of people don't

117
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: pursue opportunities out of fear they have changed. And that's

118
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: not that's not your m O. You don't you know,

119
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: we all have, we all questioned. I said, I don't

120
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: wanna tell people, you know, nervousness or when I feel uncomfortable.

121
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: I used to work uncomfortable in my my vocabulary. When

122
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: I talk about change, I always say that's a good

123
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: thing for me when I'm uncomfortable, I'm about to veer

124
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: into another direction that's really gonna be good for me.

125
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: Because if you stay comfortable, you know you you can

126
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: subject to the failures are being comfortable. But when you

127
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: have multiple streams of income like you're creating, then you

128
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: also know there's a lot of uncomfortable zones that you

129
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: go into question yourself, like like the whole creation of

130
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: the Wild and Now, which is a legendary um production

131
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: that you created as a young man. A young man

132
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: and I talked about that created the process, and then

133
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: then to have on the hiatus was six years, it

134
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: was on MTV the with the MTV two now is

135
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: back on MTV. Yeah, I mean, honestly, to your point,

136
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: that's a perfect example of how one idea that nobody

137
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: believed in, that nobody understood it, and I had to

138
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: invest my own money against my agent and my managers.

139
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 1: Everybody said, don't do it, is not gonna make sense.

140
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: And what is an improv hip hop comedy show? And

141
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: so I've rented out a comedy club in l A,

142
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 1: got all my friends together and you know, you know,

143
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: people that nobody had ever heard of at the time,

144
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: from Cat Williams, d Ray Davis, Kevin Hard come on,

145
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: come on doing all these people that I was just

146
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: trying to hook my friends up with jobs, and now

147
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: these guys are multi millionaires today. Um. But yeah, and

148
00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: then you know we cut to two hundred episodes later.

149
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: Like you said, it's just a brand that hasn't stopped

150
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: because it speaks to a generation and again and even

151
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: in that world of comedy is just showing that it's

152
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: a new form of comedy. It's the way that people

153
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: can be free and loosen. Now even you know, with

154
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 1: the online generation, we're creating stars out of them too,

155
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: and you know, elevating the branding and diversifyance on that

Speaker 1: creating a whole three sixty experience off of a brand

183
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: that's already been uh tried and tested, and it's also promotable.

184
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: The thing about it, I like the fact that you

185
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: know for a fact now that you're about to capture

186
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,719
Speaker 1: an audience that's going to have a spending power for

187
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: at least another twenty years. That's the beauty of listening

188
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: to you talk, you know, because our people always know

189
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: that that economics and television and growth is always determined

190
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: how long is your audience able to buy, how long

191
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: you're able to purchase If you're you're capturing that oh

192
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: because well, because that's MTV two and MTV audience, that

193
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: means you're going all the way down to eighteen and

194
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: you're capturing that thirty four. So that audience at twenty

195
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: years gonna be thirty eight and fifty four. So you

196
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: gotta you got a legacy. Their kids are gonna come

197
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: in there, so you're building a brand. So we got

198
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: we're started in Miami. Then we're gonna go to San Diego,

199
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: which is your hometown, which is great to go down

200
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: there making making everybody proud of you on an idea

201
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: that everybody said, what are you doing food exactly. And

202
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: then once we expand from San Diego, our next fight

203
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,960

230
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: of the finance college finance, but colleges in America. Yeah,

231
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: the mecca. Um, honestly, man, I've I've accomplished so many

232
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: things in my career. Early on, I actually learned that

233
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: true wealth is education. And you know, I always wanted

234
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: to go back, and I'm such an advocate for education. Uh,

235
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: you can power, but I was like, yeah, I gotta

236
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 1: put my money where my mouth is. And I didn't

237
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: just want to just go in and get some kind

238
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,959
Speaker 1: of honorary degree. I wanted to actually go and wanted

239
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: to go and get educated, not only just what's inside

240
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: the book, school's inside our soul. And then you can

241
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: only do that amongst your own and you only can

242
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: learn from you know. It's it's truly that that African

243
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: ritual of passing down one's heritage and one's lineage. Uh

244
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: So in these institutions where you know, uh, academics are

245
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: of our own kind. Really, it's powerful. Man. I've I've

246
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,840
Speaker 1: had such an eye opening experience in the HBC system

247
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: that I feel like I would encourage everybody to uh

248
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: be a part of that in whatever way, from from

249
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: the mumni to you know, young aspiring millennials or post

250
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: millenials that want to go and get educated. There's nothing

251
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 1: like ACU system. Well, you know, the thing I always

252
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: tell people about education is that my degree is in mathematics.

253
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: I always tell people you can't repull your education once

254
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: you get it. They can't take it away away from it,

255
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: can't throw no bad credit on you, they can't come back.

256
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: We're gonna take that. We're taking I'm still smart, I'm

257
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: still I still learned that you can't. And people don't

258
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: understand the power of education. And here a young man

259
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: who who made that decision to say, hey, look, I'm

260
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: successful in so many lanes, but education means something. That

261
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: means that you're a role model. And that's why I

262
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: wanted to bring that up, that the responsibility of what

263
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: you do plays out in so many people's mind, especially

264
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: young people and grown people mind. Because I always tell

265
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: people in this show that there's no age when you

266
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: should start being successful. You can start being success with

267
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: fifty sixty seventy eighty. So at the early in the

268
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: early era that we live in, they said that one

269
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: third of the workforce it's gonna be freelance or self

270
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: implaud today one third. So that's a mentality that it's

271
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: like changing the world. And when I look at you

272
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: talking about because I'm not gonna let you gloss over

273
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: your success. Because of the fact that he just threw

274

Speaker 1: out some names like Cat William. You know, Cat, we've

292
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: for the young people that understood this era of how

Speaker 1: want to be on television. I wanted those two worlds

308
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 1: to to you know, television and need to television and

309
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: radio solidify success and entertainment, so to be able to

310
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: bring their world together with something that I always envisioned

311
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: and knew that would truly work. Uh. And just it

312
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: was that idea of this is what's next, and when

313
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: you can bring what's next to what's current, UH, usually

314
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: UH find success. That's amazing. I have three are my

315
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: employees who have loopas, and the discovered you had loopas,

316
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: and I always, I always understand, always, and it's important

317
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: that I recognize that and tell people who have loopas

318
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: because when you hear people have certain deals as, they

319
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: think that they can't they're not they're not normal, they

320
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: can't function in life. And so I wanted to make

321
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: want to make sure I brought that up on this

322
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: show because young people need to hear that it doesn't

323
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: stop you from being successful, that it's something you have

324
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: control up as my employees have control of in their lives.

325
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: And I always bring it up. And if something seems

326
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: to be getting more and more attention, tell us about

327
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: lupus and what do you do to bring that level

328
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 1: of awareness and everybody is to be aware of Yeah,

329
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: I would honestly say that the loop is actually made

330
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,800
Speaker 1: me stronger. It made me focus and made me tap into,

331
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: you know, what I was putting in my body and

332
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: how to take care of myself because before it, just

333
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 1: like you know, the average person, I'm just going day

334
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 1: by day, eating what I want, thinking I was healthy,

335
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 1: thinking I was doing everything properly. And then when something

336
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: like that and such a serious diagnosis placed upon you,

337
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: it makes you step back one you get you know,

338
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: there's there's a little fear because you don't understand it,

339
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: because you though, we fear what we don't understand. So

340
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: I had to, you know, do my research and understand

341
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: how to live with this, how to live past it,

342
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: and understand that you know, I may have lupus, the

343
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: loop doesn't have me. So you gotta just push and

344
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: and be an example, you know, and then let my

345
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: test be a testimony. Now, this is amazing because of

346
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: the fact that I that you're you're willing to tell

347
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,440
Speaker 1: people who you are, which means put yourself out there.

348
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: You're an amazing father. Let's put that out there too.

349
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: Let's also let's put the fact out that you're an

350
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: entrepreneur and then balancing being a father, you know, and

351
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: balancing being a businessman, balancing being a social influencer. How

352
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: do you balance all this? Because I always tell people,

353
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: what does Nick Cannon do? Like I baked now? Nick,

354
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know I'm a I'm a

355
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: ward winning baker. Now I'm baking now, you know. So

356
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: that's my balance, that's my balance. I'm a baker. I

357
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: can make your cheesekake to bake for now and putting

358
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: some peach cobbler to become pie. That's what I do

359
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: for my balance is now in my life? What do

360
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: you do to make sure you have balanced? Nick? Yeah,

361
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: like you said, it's prioritizing time man and man and

362
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: then taking time to yourself. I mean the arts have

363
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,159
Speaker 1: always been something that's where I can find peace and

364
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: solid So but it's you know, playing to yeah know,

365
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, writing poetry like all those things

366
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: that are still entertaining. But I mean it's something that

367
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: but you can go within and you know, closing doors

368
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 1: and just focusing and like you find that balance within yourself.

369
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: I mean balances everything when it comes to how your

370
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: approach life. It's so it's what keeps you stable, and stability, uh,

371
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: spiritually and mentally is truly important. So once you get

372
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: your priority together, and like you said, even speaking of

373
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: being a father, being my number one priority and being

374
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: a provider for you know, myself and my family members,

375
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: then you've got to go within and make sure your

376
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: inner strength st together. So you tapped right into it.

377
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: You know the thing about it that I that I

378
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: walked wanted everybody to know that Wild and Out that's

379
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: produced by Incredible Incredible with whose company, Nick Cannon, So

380
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: he puts controls his brand. The same thing with these restaurants,

381
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: because he's telling everybody on this in his interview, he's

382
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: leading a legacy for his children. He's not just gonna

383
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: be a standup comic. Because you know, as an actor,

384
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,840
Speaker 1: you're working wealthy when you show up for TV shows

385
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: or you show up for for movies, that's called working wealthy.

386
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: You're using money that you can. You're making money that

387
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: when you're sleeping you'll beginning to check. That's the most

388
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: important part of this conversation. I want people to hear

389
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 1: that when this young man goes to sleep, Chin happens

390
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: in his bank account. And that's really important because that's

391
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: what you can leave for your children. Correct, absolutely, and

392
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm saying. I always encourage everybody to

393
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: tap into the philosophy that money and and currency is energy.

394
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: And and really when you can come from a place

395
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: of positive energy, and you think about energy, that's self generating.

396
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,720
Speaker 1: You generated your your own generator. So to sit around

397
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: and just wait for someone is an old fashioned way

398
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: of thinking. When you feel like you may not have

399
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 1: a dollar in your pocket, but if you generate, if

400
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: you if you realize your inner energy to create your wealth,

401
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: it will be ongoing forever. Tore is like my ideas

402
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: of my other things that are invaluable. My happiness has

403
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: invaluable and it goes back to putting out that positive

404
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: energy because money doesn't make you happy, but happy makes
