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

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: the team today?

3
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 2: It was the new game day scratches from the California

00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: Lottery player is everything.

5
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,799
Speaker 3: Those games sent the team's energy through the roof.

6
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: Are you saying it was the off field play that

7
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: made the difference on the field.

8
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,840
Speaker 3: Hey, little play makes your day, and today it made

9
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 3: the game.

10
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,319
Speaker 1: That's all for now, coach, one more question play than

11
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,119
Speaker 1: you Los Angeles Chargers, San Francisco forty nine Ers and

12
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Ram Scratchers from the California Lottery.

13
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 3: A little play can make your day. Peace made responsibly.

14
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: Must be eighteen years or older to purchase late or claim.

15
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 4: What are three tips to grow your business that you've

16
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 4: never shared before?

17
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 2: You guys want to kick it off first because I

18
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: think they want to hear from you. I'm going I'm

19
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 2: diving on.

20
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, I feel like, you know, to grow

21
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 4: a business, once again, going back to the core principles

22
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 4: of it, you have to have something that's scalable to grow.

23
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 4: That's the first part when looking at a business plan

24
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 4: and looking at starting a business. You have to start

25
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 4: a business that even has the ability to grow. And

26
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 4: what I mean by that is like you know, mom

27
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 4: and pop up stores, local restaurants, barbershops. Although yes, they

28
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 4: all in theory can grow, but nine times out of

29
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 4: ten they won't grow. So that to me is something

30
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,479
Speaker 4: that you should already kind of have in your mind.

31
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 4: How can I start a business that is scalable? So

32
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 4: online businesses are scalable. Businesses that don't require a large

33
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 4: amount of overhead are scalable. Businesses that don't require a

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 4: large amount of employees, especially at the beginning, are scalable.

35
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 4: So these are all things that you know, we've highlighted

36
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 4: a ton of them before as far as you know

37
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 4: in the e commerce space, but even in the media

38
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 4: space as well. You know, this is like what we're

39
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 4: doing as far as on the media and education side.

40
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 4: That's those are all scalable models. And then also you know,

41
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 4: thinking about starting businesses that you can have multiple different

42
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: revenue streams from without reinventing the whale or re changing

43
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 4: the business model. Once again, you know, it's one of

44
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 4: these things to say, Okay, I can start a podcast,

45
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 4: but I can also sell merch because I have to

46
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 4: wear something. And then I can do a live show,

47
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 4: and then I can do YouTube, and then I can

48
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 4: do tutorials and you know, master classes and educational courses

49
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 4: and things of that nature, where is you're not doing

50
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 4: something completely different, but you're just growing, you know, latterly.

51
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 4: And I think that's something that you know, when you're

52
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 4: looking at a business, you should definitely look at to say, Okay,

53
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 4: is this something that I could put in place early

54
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 4: on and kind of have the idea and the vision

55
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: and then kind of reverse engineering after that point. And

56
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: I also think, you know, starting a business that that

57
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: really has impact. I think a lot of times we

58
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 4: start businesses that that's a great lesson just to make money. Yeah,

59
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 4: Like you know, it's like I'm gonna sell nail filers

60
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: because you know, it's like, all right.

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 3: That's cool to those with their files for they kill us.

62
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you can make a lot of money doing that.

63
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 4: But I just feel like, you know, ultimately, the businesses

64
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: that are impactful, that have a you know, a tremendous

65
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 4: impact on people's lives and have a purpose deeper than

66
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 4: just you know, making a quick buck, that's something that's

67
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 4: going to help you in business. So you know, finding

68
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:27,079
Speaker 4: your passion, finding your purpose is extremely important and seeing

69
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,079
Speaker 4: how you can benefit and help people, because the more

70
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: people that you help, the more money that you make.

71
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 4: So you know that's that's like you know, amous, that's

72
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: a big lesson, So you just drop. Don't the more

73
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: people you help, the more you're gonna make.

74
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: Please put that in chet, I know something you're gonna

75
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: skim over that.

76
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 5: That is an equation though, yeah, sure ty, yeah, I

77
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 5: mean that was like ten right there.

78
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 3: But I would just add to it, prepare for success.

79
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 5: A lot of times people go into business and they hope, right,

80
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 5: and they don't really they don't envision themselves being successful.

81
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 5: This is like, I'm gonna try it just because I

82
00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 5: want to make more. Like you said, I want to

83
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 5: make more money, but prepare for success.

84
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: I think.

85
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 5: Shout out to Pinky. We had a dope interview. If

86
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 5: you didn't check that out, congratulations, she played yourself.

87
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 3: But she asked her.

88
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 5: We asked her about scaling and I was like, why

89
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 5: don't you franchise this team?

90
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 3: She's like, I could.

91
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 5: I could be a billionaire by next year if if

92
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 5: I decided to franchise. But my business is like my kid,

93
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 5: My business is only three years old. Did you know

94
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 5: how to speak? Franchi at three years old? And she

95
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 5: was like, my business has to grow, it has to mature,

96
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 5: and so all.

97
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 3: Those things we don't bring you one, I'm gonna bring

98
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 3: you on in a sect.

99
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 5: She was like, my business has to grow, and so

100
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 5: it has to mature the same way a kid has to. Like,

101
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 5: you're not going to be running the one hundred meters

102
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 5: at three years old, right, You're not doing that, And

103
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 5: so you got to treat your businesses like that.

104
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 3: And that's how you prepare for success.

105
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 5: She knows that it's there, she's just making sure that

106
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 5: she does the makes some proper steps and has everything

107
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 5: in line and systems in place and people in place,

108
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 5: so that when the success is ready to be fully

109
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 5: executed on.

110
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 3: You should be ready as well. So prepare for success

111
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 3: for me some similar to what you guys said.

112
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: Number one, know what the vision is. So for me,

113
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: my goal is to be able to help six billion

114
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: people on the planet learn about investing and make where

115
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 2: to get in and where to get out easy for them.

116
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: Number two, know when it's your season to retreat. So

117
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: after we created a landscape for people to talk about

118
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 2: investing and be comfortable being black doing so, it's a

119
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: lot of people.

120
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 3: That popped up talking about investing. That was my time

121
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 3: to retreat.

122
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 2: Now that the economy has shifted and people didn't know

123
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 2: their prices as well as I did.

124
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 3: Now it's my time to go into the attack.

125
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: So you guys have had competition quote unquote and copycats,

126
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 2: but I've seen you layer on, move around it in

127
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: different genres and become bigger and be omnipresent. Right, So

128
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: for me, it's just no one want to pour on more.

129
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: So for me in a recession, it's my time to

130
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 2: help more people, because guess what, when everyone's making money,

131
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: no one wants to hear be disciplined. Wait for a

132
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: bitcoin to go to twenty k, apple to go to

133
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 2: ninety four bucks, right, but then when everything falls apart,

134
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: it's like damn, it's really just y'all and trap helping out.

135
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: Come to invest fast, and we will give you some

136
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: game about how to make money even in the down market.

137
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: But those are my three tips. No one went to attack.

138
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: When it's your season to ply your business to next

139
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 2: no one want to retreat, and to build proof. And

140
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: then you have to have a big vision.

141
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: From ernest what's up.

142
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 5: You ever walk into a small business and everything just

143
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 5: works like. The checkout is fast, their seats are digital,

144

00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 4: So now we're going to bring on a guest, very

191
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 4: special guests. So my god to B. D. Stevens. He's

192
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 4: the plug that introduced us to Steve Harvey. And it's

193
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 4: a good story because he actually, I think his official

194
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 4: title is the head of Business Operations with Steve, so

195
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 4: he kind of handles all the business stuff for him,

196
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 4: and you know, he got him into all these different

197
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: investments in the stocks. He spoke about it on the

198
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 4: episode if you watch the episode, and he spoke about

199
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 4: it when he was on Market Mondays last week as well.

200
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 4: But Tabidi is somebody that we developed a relationship with

201
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 4: and not only is he very intelligent and you know,

202
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 4: a whiz kid when it comes to invest in but

203
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 4: just in business in general. Like I said, he kind

204
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 4: of handled all of the business operations. So when you

205
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: talk about the team and like when Steve says, like,

206
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 4: you know, I'm not the most technical person, but I

207
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,080
Speaker 4: have technical people on my team, Like this is one

208
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 4: of the people that he's actually referring to, so definitely

209
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 4: on his way to being, you know, one of the

210
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 4: biggest mobiles in the game, and he's with the right person.

211
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 4: And I think it's important to highlight, you know, the

212
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 4: people behind the people. A lot of times, like you

213
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 4: see a celebrity and it might be Rick Ross, it

214
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 4: might be Steve Harvey, it might be Ti whatever, and

215
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 4: you know, it's dope to get the game from them,

216
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 4: but you got to understand that they're relying on council

217
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 4: and their counsel is probably even more valuable because that's

218
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 4: the people that's actually giving them and providing them the information.

219
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 4: So it's very rare that you get to speak to

220
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 4: the council. It's very rare you even get to speak

221
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 4: to the celebrity. But you get to speak to celebrity

222
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 4: a lot of times, but you don't really get to

223
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 4: speak to the council, to to the people that's actually

224
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 4: advising these people and actually telling them like why this

225
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 4: is a good move, why this is a bad move,

226
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 4: and brokering deals broken in the relationships. So this is

227
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 4: one of these you know, inside inside conversations that you

228
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,959
Speaker 4: guys can be a part of. So without further ado,

229
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 4: we'll bring on a guy. What's up and.

230
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 6: What's going on?

231
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 3: Everybody, what's good? Man?

232
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 6: I'm like, what's good?

233
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 4: Well, good man? Thank you for joining us. Man. So, y'all,

234
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 4: I was just giving the intro and kind of just

235
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 4: breaking it down, so I got a lot of questions.

236
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 4: But before before we start, I think it'll be dope

237
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 4: because it's a good story actually for you to tell

238
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 4: how you began working with Steve Hall, because we kind

239
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 4: of heard it from his side when he was on

240
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 4: the show, but I would love to hear it from

241
00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 4: from your side.

242
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 6: Definitely. Definitely. Well, uh, once again, appreciate y'all for having me. Man.

243
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 7: As y'all say, y'all are the biggest finality. They even

244
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 7: really do interviews often, bro, So I appreciate you guys.

245
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 7: But honestly, man, like I said, I went to more

246
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 7: House or as you guys know, I went to Morehouse

247
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 7: so for business administration, but the concentration of marketing and psychology,

248
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 7: so you know, I just wanted to understand, like how

249
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 7: people thought a certain way and why they thought a

250
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 7: certain way. While I was in school, I actually started

251
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 7: a shoe company. So I was manufacturing, producing my own

252
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 7: canvas and leave the shoes, so similar to Times and Nikes,

253
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 7: and it was called Steps by Stevens. So for every

254
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 7: pair of shoes, I sold over buy meals to women

255
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 7: and children shutters nationwide. With my business partners at the time,

256
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 7: Malcolm Connor and mister Harvey's son, progerct Hart, was actually

257
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 7: doing all our creative directions. So that's kind of how

258
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 7: I got introduced to mister Harvey. So I did that

259
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 7: all throughout college, did extremely well. One on his talk

260
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 7: show one day to kind of promote our product. When

261
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 7: I came on stage, his CEO at the time, he

262
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 7: was like, hey, he should come work for me, And

263
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 7: of course I was like, man, I got my own company.

264
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 6: At the time, I'm.

265
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 7: Good, bro, Like, you know, I'm clearly here selling shoes.

266
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 7: But some times went by and I just spent time

267
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 7: around the harvest, but volunteered their mentorship camp. You know,

268
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 7: they have the National Mintronship Camp where they mentor you know,

269
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 7: two hundred fifty followers boys. So I participated that and

270
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 7: kind of just built a reputation for myself there.

271
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 6: It's like a hard worker.

272
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 7: And then one day mister Harvey called me and was like, listen,

273
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 7: you know, I want you to come on to be

274
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 7: a part of this team.

275
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 6: Like what are you about to do?

276
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,959
Speaker 7: I had just fidled out with my company, as you

277
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 7: all remember, you know, twenty fourteen, China had a bit

278
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 7: of a recession and I had about seventy five thousand

279
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 7: and raw materials over in China.

280
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 6: And at the time, I didn't have any.

281
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 7: Credit because I was twenty one years old, so I

282
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 7: didn't really have any credit. So of course that was

283
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 7: all my cash. I didn't know much about credit, and

284
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 7: I won't give me a line of credit. I couldn't

285
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 7: get the materials over, so I end up. You know,

286
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 7: one of my failures that kind of led me into

287
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 7: where I am now was the fact that, like my

288
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 7: shoe company fizzled out because I made a bad investment.

289
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 7: So Miss Harvard's like, what are you about to do?

290
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 7: Of course I was, you know, I'm about to go

291
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,880
Speaker 7: to Harvard. I got axcepted to every Harvy League in

292
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 7: the country, so I was gonna go to Harvard. I

293
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 7: was gonna go to Harvard and get the executive NBA

294
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 7: and then mister Harvey basically asked, you know, what are

295
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 7: you going to Harvard to and I told him, you know,

296
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 7: meet JFK's grand count son and so on and so forth,

297
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 7: because you know, essentially a lot of people go get

298
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 7: their NBA to network. So he asked me, if I

299
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 7: can get a better network and make the same amount

300
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 7: of money, if not better without going to school, would

301
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 7: I do it? And at the time, I said no,

302
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 7: left his house to got in my car and on

303
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 7: the way home, I was like, man, that's actually a

304
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 7: great opportunity. So I gave him a call like, yo,

305
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 7: mister Harvey, you know if I come by the house tomorrow,

306
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 7: and from there it was a route. So I just

307
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 7: started doing research and development. At the time myself brought

308
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 7: the apartment's got see the Davis that worked on a deal.

309
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 6: That at the time.

310
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 7: What I didn't know was, you know, they said Stretcher

311
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 7: was one of the best deals that.
