41
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,960

43
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,760

44
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: this pandemic, when we see unemployment, we see food lines,

45
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,360

Speaker 1: in sales. On Black Friday, there was over nine billion

49
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: dollars in sales. So there has to be a sense

50
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: that there is economic positivity in play right now. So

51
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: the whole concept of what you guys are doing with

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,200

65
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: just if I must span it was actually shot down

66
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: in an NBA program. I go to Syracuse University finishing

67
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: up my last two classes and it was developed during

68
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: the last semester and I actually brought it to an

69
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: NBA group and say, I have this great idea about

70
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: these customized shields. And they were like, well, that's not

71
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: gonna work because we have to wear man. I said,

72
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: you don't understand what I'm saying. I have this great

73
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: idea about designing customized shields for customers to have. And

74
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: it was declined. But I said, you know what, I'm

75
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: still gonna make these shields and I'm gonna prove to

76
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: you that you don't have to listen to what any

77
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: other group says. If you believe in it, and you

78
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: know there's a market. Just push yourself through right now,

79
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: because I I love that. Then, Bobby, I don't you

80
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: want to comment on that because that's somebody told him. No,

81
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And quite frankly, I don't

82
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: think he hears that word. Right. So, so tell us

83
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: about the whole process of you know, because it's trademark

84
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 1: and we know and and all that stuff, and so

85
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: talk about the process of developing a product. Yes, So

86
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 1: Ernest came home like he normally does with the brilliant idea.

87
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: That's what we do. We support each other. And the

88
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: first and shield was a Dodger shield. So you see this,

89
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: you see the makeup and it and the flyness. Right,

90
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: So I was like, we gotta take it to another level.

91
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: So one of the things we initially thought of was

92
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,160
Speaker 1: creating different collections. So you see here laying around the shield,

93
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: um dazzled. We have luxury, um, et cetera. Now this

94
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 1: is right, I means I can contact you and it's

95
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: made to order. Correct. Yeah, So we have a website. Okay, okay,

96
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: now I'm gonna I'm gonna havep some people, cause like something,

97
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: some of this place back on podcast too, so it's

98
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: all the only of course it plays off on video

99
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: and on YouTube. Now there are two things she has

100
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: to shield and on the outside of the shield it

101
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: said smile and then inside there's a band that place.

102
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: They strategically allowed you to put the logo branding on

103
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: that as well. Who came up with that? I did

104
00:05:53,760 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: the double brand logo. That's double branding. Yeah, yep, can

105
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: you hear me, Rush, I can hear that? Okay, cool? Now,

106
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: who came up with the idea of the double the

107
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 1: double branding of the logos? Oh? I did? Um. What

108
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: I thought about was and when even when I saw

109
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 1: the first Dodger one, I said, I'm gonna take this

110
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: back to Detroit, Michigan. And I'm explaining I'm from Detroit.

111
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: We used to wear a name but belt buckles, and

112
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: I said, I said, man, I bet people would love

113
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: to have a face shield just like the buckle. So

114
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: if you look at the black band, it's nothing but

115
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: a belt with with your what's your what's your name

116
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: on it? And I just thinking back to back to

117
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: that time, and I said, we were we went crazy

118
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: for these, right, I said, I know this will work

119
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: on a face shield, and this is what you see

120
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: with both what we both have on at the present moment. Okay, cool,

121
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 1: let me ask you this the process of making a

122
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: custom mind, what is is it? A number of hours?

123
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: Is a number of days? And so let me just

124
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 1: take for attention to the shield that you have. I'm

125
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: looking at two different shards because on your shild, Barbera,

126
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: you have bedazzle around the trimp. You have a bedazzle trimp. Okay, now,

127
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: earnest on your shield's clean. It's a very clear screen.

128
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: You can see their eyes, their nose, beautiful smiles and

129
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: which I missed with masks. I missed that because I

130
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: like to encourage people with a smile that guess what,

131
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: we're into this together. We're gonna get through this together.

132
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: When you wear a mask, you can't do that, okay,

133
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: But a sill allows you to smile at the person's

134
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: saying hello. You know, look up beat when you're going

135
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: in the grocery store, look up beat when you come

136
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: out of home depot. Life is not that bad. You know,

137
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: I'm not mad. I'm not mad at white people. White

138
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: people shouldn't be mad at me. You know, this is

139
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,119
Speaker 1: important when the in the in the in the world

140
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: that we live in now, when you see so much anger,

141
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: so much hate, so much doubt, people afraid of so

142
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: much bad media that's put in social media, that's put

143
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: in the digital world. So with that said, the numbdazzo,

144
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: how long does it take, Trim and how does it

145

Speaker 1: take them do the bidazzo trip? Barbara? Yeah, so it

146
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: takes pretty much forty eight hours. Well, let's let's make

00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: that wait till I make that shilpa because you know

155
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put it on social media. You know, I've

156
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: let all my million, my million followers know about this

157
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: because first of all, first of all, the entrepreneurs. Now, okay,

158
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: on Ernest, what do you do with your your your

159
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: forty hour week or your entrepreneurs side other than the shields.

160
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: And also I'm gonna ask you to at because i

161
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: want to let everybody to know that I would your people,

162
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: if you want to be successful, take that twenty four

163
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: hours as you could every day, learn to take advantage

164
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: of every hour. It seems that you guys following that motto, Well,

165
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 1: let me say first rush that there is no forty

166
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: hour week for us. Yes, there really is. Our Our

167
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: week runs congrueing, meaning they all blame all the days

168
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: blending together. We we work off for goals, meaning you know,

169
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: the days just are there to set our goals. And

170
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: what we do is we live off of what is

171
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: the goal for the week. Meaning if my goal is

172
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: something that requires me to work another twelve hours, I'm

173
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: working the whole twelve hours. So there there's no such

174
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 1: thing gas at the eight hour mark. I'm shutting it

175
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: down at four o'clock. I wake up at three in

176
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: the morning and say, I still got some emails to

177
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: see and I'm sending my emails, So I'm based I

178
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: based my week off a task, not not off of

179
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: off of the day. So when you understand it's the entrepreneur,

180
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: there should never be an eight to four set clock

181
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 1: because then that would mean you just limited yourself. And

182
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: if Rush call for money making conversations and want you

183
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: to come on the show, you say, Rush, I can't

184
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: make it because I'm off at four o'clock. Right, so

185
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: he Rush called me rushing here two and the one

186
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 1: on the show. I'm getting on the show. That's what

196
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,600

250
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: of course, like you said, the NBA thought this wasn't

251
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: a good idea. How did you start introducing it on

252
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: social media? Did you shoot videos? How did you guys

253
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: start introducing the brain? Yeah, I'll take that. I actually

254
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: work at Facebook and Instagram, the number one social media company,

255
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: and what we see in particular COVID nineteen talk about

256
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 1: the pivot. So we pivoted to purely social media e

257
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: commerce UM, and we utilize our social media platform. We

258
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: have amazing photographer and designers. Where we took some shots

259
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: of people in the shield UM and we created organically

260
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: the following on Instagram. What we also did. I'm also

261
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 1: getting my NBA U c l A. I wanted to

262
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 1: shout that out, so you're not the only NBA in

263
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: the house. UM. And what we did was we bypassed

264
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: all the traditional ways and go to market, right, so

265
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: you have your market analysis. It takes years, UM, And

266
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: we said, why don't we try the social media out

267
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: and so we had the direct to consumer interaction with

268
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: our customer that let us know that we were onto something.

269
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: UM and rest I wanted to also mention you talked

270
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 1: about being trademark. So one of the early signs that

271
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: this was going to be successful. When we were in

272
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: the process of getting trademark, there were over ten thousand

273
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: applications from masks and shields. But when you talked about

274
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: other people making money, you know, many people saw this

275
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: as an opportunity and many people that don't look like us.

276
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: And I agree, and I you know, that's what I'm

277
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: happy about it because I have some friends, you know,

278
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: they've been very successful with masks okay, and I've helped

279
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: them and dropped their information in my newsletter and dropped

280
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: it on my social media. Because that's that's why I

281
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: created money making conversations. And so when I when I

282
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: look at African American's clearly understanding the pivot clearly understanding that.

283
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: And this is this is why I'm excited about it.

284
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: And this is just because of the fact that there's

285
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: a vaccine coming out and black people don't want to

286
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: take it. They don't trust the system, you know what

287
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying, And so I think it's time that in

288
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: order for us to create trust, we gotta move you

289
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: guys face to the front of the line. You know

290
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, isn't that's more than just me taking

291
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: a photo with myself on it. I want to take

292
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: a photo with YouTube to post on social media talking

293
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: about it's a black couple that have invented you know,

294
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: these shields and you can buy from them online. So

295
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: that's way more important than anything because that because that's

296
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: gonna encourage black participation. Blacks and say, I supported blacks

297
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: may even take the vaccine because we understand that we

298
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: don't want to be guinea pigs. But then also we

299
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: want to be able to participate in the support system

300
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: of profitability. And that's what you guys are doing with

301
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: the shield. Look, it's a health it's for your health,

302
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: it's for safety. COVID NATI safety lots to create social distance,

303
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: to me, it creates a very social experience. To me,

304
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,160
Speaker 1: I think that in the end that's gonna be honest.

305
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: You can still eat, you can still you can still

306
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: do uh a straw, you can do a lot of

307
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: things where this shield here, and that's what your kid.

308
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: So all that was taken in consideration, Earnest, when you

309
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: really started thinking about this whole process. Oh yeah, absolutely.

310
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: We we thought about, like you said, the social experience,

311
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: and that, like you said, we're gonna be going through

312
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: COVID in and out for the next couple of years.

313
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: So we we recognized that, and our goal as entrepreneurs

314
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: was was to embrace it, not to act as if

315
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: it didn't exist, or to go into a shall of fear.

316
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: And and that's and and I'm gonna be honest, my

317
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: wife and I we we did go to an initial

318
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: phase of fear. And I want the audience to know

319
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: that fear is okay in the in the beginning, But

320
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: you got a short time. I I have a window

321
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,120
Speaker 1: of fear, and that's probably two weeks to figure out

322
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: how scared I'm gonna be. And after that, I gotta

323
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: come up, I gotta mote there with some with a plan.

324
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: You know and my wife developed and Garrett Webster from

325
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,120
Speaker 1: South Africa the four ELP you want tell them about

326
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: the four Yeah, So we talked about the silent fear

327
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: where Ernest was talking about for the other four fs

328
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: that we talked about is focused focus once you get

329
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: out of the fear, focused on how do you lean

330
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 1: in and aswer the call on where you're in right,

331
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: how do you lean into and meet the moment where

332
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: it is. And then the faith, the faith whatever anybody practices,

333
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: there's some faith that you have to know that you're

334
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: gonna get through this. There's some faith you know that

335
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: you will have the answers um and that you can prosper.

336
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: We have a win win per mentality of prosperity and abundance.

337
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: And so we were speaking out we were a money

338
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: magnet where an opportunity magnet. A lot of people were

339
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: like f We did not speak never because we knew

340
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: that twenty was gonna be prosperous for us UM. And

341
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: then we talked about family. So we're a family, my

342
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 1: own business. We knew that we had to stick together

343
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: during this tumultuous time and why not use this opportunity

344
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: to build something beautiful together and the last piece of

345
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 1: future what's our future outlook of this? So it could

346
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: be quite honest with you. We've only been in business

347
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 1: with small shops for four months and we've seen the

348
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: uber growth and so when you talk about the future

349
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,399
Speaker 1: of it, we started to attract like minded individuals and

350
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: do partnerships. So for partnering with Sydney Jackson who has

351
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: a Paget beauty line, we're also partnering u's MS teen

352
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 1: DC USA Sydney Jackson, what are pageon beauty line? We're

353
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: also partnering with Jamia from Atlanta Housewives is gonna come

354
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: out with a mask and shield combinations, which is exciting.

355
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: And then in Instagram and fluencer Toy Hardy, who's also

356
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: coming out with a shield and mask. So we were

357
00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 1: in the beginning, we saw this opportunity in their lot

358
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: of people that are now understanding that we're gonna be

359
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: in this for some time. Well, that's why I wanted

360
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 1: to help promote YouTube. You know what I'm saying. You know,

361
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: I because I can easily put that sheeld over my

362
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: face money making conversation and I want that, don't get

363
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: me wrong. But also, like last week, a couple of

364
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 1: weeks ago, I had the a couple of HBCU grad

365
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: they created a clowns clause and uh and I posted

366
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: the picture of them too, and their two children blew up.

367
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: You know, they created clowns clause. And so I know

368
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: the value of support. Where African Americans know that they

369
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: are creating this product that they could support, it's not

370
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: somebody modeling the product. And that's what I would be.

371
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,640
Speaker 1: I'll be modeling the product that they wouldn't know where

372
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 1: it was who created it. And so I want you

373
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,959
Speaker 1: guys to take a real nice photo and probably already

374
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:54,280
