00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,520

00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: know what's going on and We'll be there for a

60
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: long inter short run because what we do with Money

61
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: Making Conversation master Class is present a platform, and the

62
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: platform is you as an individual who listens. I said,

63
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 1: phone calls. Some people don't call, some people do call.

64
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: People do call. We answer the calls live on the

65
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 1: air with the guests, and we try to provide information.

66
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: But I've learned that I have a show where people

67
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: just listen and drive, or listening to the Holls cooking,

68
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: or just listening at the house sipping on their coffee,

69
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: just listening at the house eating because they just enjoy

70
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: the information that we are pouring into them, the information

71
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: of success, the information of being able to know that

72
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: you can pursue your dreams. All you need is just

73
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: a plan, a plan of action, and you can win.

74
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: How can you win? Rashan? I always tell people that quote.

75
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: I mean it, stopped reading other people's success stories and

76
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 1: start playing your own. I've been doing that since I

77
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: was eighteen years old. Somebody poured into me the rashon

78
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: you can be different. Rashan, you can believe in your dreams.

79
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: Hear me clearing that, Rashan, you can believe in your dreams.

80
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: They poured that into me, and when they did, it

81
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: made the difference in my life. And that's why I'm

82
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: on the show today. I'm just telling you about the

83
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: difference that people can make in your life, and I

84
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: want to be that difference maker. That's all doctor Dr

85
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 1: Cherry Collier was saying. She was saying, Rashan, you brought

86
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,559
Speaker 1: me on the show and I've never met her before,

87
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: or that I went to an event and I met

88
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: her and she came on the show. And when she

89
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: came on the show, her general purpose was to talk

90
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: about her brand, but I could tell she was feeling

91
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: her way through the whole conversation. But in the second

92
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: half she got comfortable and she started dropping them nuggets,

93
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: them nuggets on everybody and start going Wow, the wisdom

94
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: of what she can bring to the table. And that's

95
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: what I try to do. I try to bring people

96
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: and ask them to share their lives, and when they

97
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,600
Speaker 1: share their lives, then able to be able to communicate

98
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: with people in general. On my show, Money Making Conversations Masterclass,

99
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: a show I started in twenty seventeen, A show I

100
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: started in twenty seventheen. I didn't know where it was

101
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: going to go I didn't know why I was doing it.

102
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: I just knew I had to do it because over

103
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: the years, so many people that have always asked me

104
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: for my opinion have always asked me for advice about

105
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: why are you doing this show? Money Making Conversations Rashwan,

106
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 1: you're successful. First of all, you have to define what

107
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: success is and you have to also define money. What

108
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,039
Speaker 1: is your pool of money? A million dollars maybe a

109
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: lot of money to some people. A million dollars may

110
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: not be no money for some people, and so you

111
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: have to gauge what is your goal for success. When

112
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: you listen to my show, when you have goals, then

113
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: you can win. And when you can win big, I'm

114
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: talking about ruin big. It means you surrounded yourself with

115
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: a pool of people who have the same like minded goal.

116
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: That's key. Do not surround yourself with people who don't

117
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: have your goals, or your beliefs or your dreams as

118
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: being possible. You've been around these people telling you has

119
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: a bad idea, telling you you was or wasting your time.

120
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: These are the people that tell you and they complain

121
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,599
Speaker 1: all the time. I call these people just angry people

122
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: for no reason at all. Just angry, just jump out

123
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 1: there and when they don't have when it doesn't work

124
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: for them, then they want to hold everybody else. Oh

125
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: I've done that. I went out there. Girl. You don't

126
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: want to do that. Boy, you don't understand what's waiting

127
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: on you out there, No you don't. But you better

128
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: have a plan to have mentors, You better have relationships.

129
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 1: You better understand that it may not start as quickly

130
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: as you think it will start. So how do you

131
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: how do you get past these people? Sean you ignore them,

132
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 1: ignore ignorance. I'm afraid staying ahead of the ignorance. And

133
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: that's all I want to do. I want anybody listen

134
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,440

Speaker 1: Not that one, okay, cool, I apologize for that mistake.

187
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 1: Now we talked about a football career. Okay, your first

188
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: round draft pick in the NFL. They're gonna throw a

189
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 1: big contract on you, which is great. But when you

190
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: got in the league, what was your thought process? Were

191
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: you thinking about playing five years, ten years, or were

192
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: you thinking about just playing? And what even thinking about

193
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do with your money. Let's talk about

194
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: that because that's a lot of time because I read

195
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: a lot of articles how athletes in general get the

196
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: money and they kind of mess up with the money.

197
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: And so how to tell us your journey when you

198
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: got into the league?

199
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was it was ain't a lot.

200
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: It was.

201
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: It was different. It was it was new. You know,

202
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 2: I was, what twenty one coming some money? I didn't.

203
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: I didn't really know what I wanted to do outside

204
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 2: of playing football. So it was all a new experience

205
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 2: for me. But my first purchase. I always told myself

206
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 2: I was gonna buy either a house or call for

207
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,439
Speaker 2: my mom, and I was fortunate enough to do both.

208
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: And when you were fortunately do both? How many years

209
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:04,959
Speaker 1: did you play in the league?

210
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: Wow?

211
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 1: Five years? Was it an injury that took you out

212
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: or you just decided to retire? What? Who it took

213
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: you out of the league.

214
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: I could say it was injuries, but it was also

215
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: I got five kids, three boys, two girls. Uh huh,

216
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 2: So I wanted to be at the age of forty,

217
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 2: I wanted to be able to run around with them,

218
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: you know, still be able to play football, to still

219
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: be able to play basketball, and take them through the

220
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 2: type of trainings that I went through, you know what

221
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 2: I mean, to be able to give them that type

222
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: of energy, in that type of heart, to be able

223
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: to play with their opponents.

224
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: But you know, just is an example, like I see

225
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: Joel and Bee's like he plays for the seventy six ers.

226
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: You know he's still out there playing. He got this

227
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: giant ice pack on his knee. I have to believe

228
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,959
Speaker 1: that he's going to pay a price for that when

229
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: he gets older. Am I correctness saying that based on

230
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 1: the fact that you said, Rashan, I wanted to be

231
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: able to play with my kids when I was forty.

232
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: I want to run around. Would I want to get

233
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: on the ground to be able to get up. I

234
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: want to be able to kneel down and not have

235
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: to lean on a piece of furniture to get back up.

236
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: That's what you're talking.

237
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 2: About, right, Yeah, what I did because I was I

238
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 2: had sixteen surgeries in three acls.

239
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: Mm hm.

240
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: You know, so I know I'm gonna be feeling the

241
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 2: pain a little bit sooner. Than I'm supposed to write.

242
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: So I wanted to be able to, you know, get

243
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: my health back right right, you know, hopefully hopefully with

244
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 2: what I'm doing, how I'm taking care of myself, I

245
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 2: won't feel that pain because I'm not beating up my

246
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: body no more.

247
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: Because you understand your body now, because that's that's the key. Now,

248
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: just talking I have on this show also have a

249
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: fitness person coming on and interviewing them later. What do

250
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: you do? You know, you you play it at a

251
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: high level athletic level, when you lead the game, what

252
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: do you do physically and mentally? Do you just like

253
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 1: just let your body go? You tied up there the routine?

254
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 1: How do you and then how do you how do you?

255
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: I guess transition, it's I.

256
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: Ain't a lot. It's hard, Like when I first got out.

257
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: You know, you stay working out because you just want to.

258
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: You want to you want to be able to stay

259
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: in shape. But it's not the same environment that you

260
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: used to working out and you know, like we're used

261
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: to working out at not at regular gyms. So it's

262
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: it's hard, you know. So it's right now, I say

263
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: I lost a bunch of weight, So I lost about

264
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: forty pounds after I started playing because I ate, I

265
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: started eating differently. I became a prescotarian. But I'm back

266
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: eating regularly. But it's it's definitely much harder to stay

267
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 2: as active as you was. I gotta still play basketball,

Speaker 1: the future look like? When did that who and your

312
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: life started to get into your head making you believe

313
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 1: it was time to transition.

314
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it was just my body for I wouldn't

315
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: even say it was somebody. It was just a feeling

316
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: in my body. After that last injury, I just knew

317
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 2: it was gonna be that time for me to, you know,

318
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: put them up and really start focusing on finding myself

319
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 2: and who I wanted to be after this life.

320
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: How did you find yourself.

321
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 2: Just really trying everything. I'm not gonna lie like I tried.

322
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: I was fortunate enough to try a bunch of different things.

323
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: I went into fintech, edguitech, created a financial literacy with

324
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: the mother of my kids. I started flying planes. I

325
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: got thirteen hours in the air. I tried to play guitar.

326
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: I also have I recently won my cannabis license, my

327
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 2: cannabis cultivation license up in New Jersey, so simpler than that,

328
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: And then got married came to Georgia and I always

329
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 2: love real estate, always heard about it, but never really

330
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: you know, had the the trust in myself to do it,

331
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: I want to say in other people, but in myself

332
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 2: as far as the knowledge to be able to do it.

333
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: So came to Georgia, got my real estate license, and

334
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: now hooked up with somebody who was doing real good

335
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 2: as far as the contractor invested into that. And now

336
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: we got a construction company and doing flick fix and flip.

337
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: Now you see, you make that sound so smooth. You

338
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 1: see that sounds so smooth. That sounds so easy, Dominique.

339
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: You know, I did a little fintech, you know, we shine.

340
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: I got me a cannabis license up there in the

341
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 1: New Jersey area. Then I got me a real estate

342
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: license and that brother, look at I'm knocking down walls.

343
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: I'm doing it. But it's not that easy. If there's

344
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: some there are some setbacks emotionally for you along the

345
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: way that make you believe that this is not the path.

346
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: That's why I was talking to people about paths, because,

347
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,160
Speaker 1: like you said, you did the fintech you did, the

348
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: cannabis is still an option, because that's a that's a

349
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 1: money making venture. Word. First of all, getting the license loan,

350
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 1: it's a tough task. Now that you have it, that's

351
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: a I always tell people about multiple streams of income,

352
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: that's what that is. But the real estate license, when

353
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: did that get into your head? Real estate?

354
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 2: Really? I mean, like I said, real estate has always

355
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: been a love of mine. But I love like so me.

356
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,640
Speaker 2: I loved the game of monopolies. I always loved real estate,

357
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 2: but just never really trusted my knowledge to actually get

358
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: into real estate. So that's why when I came to Georgia,

359
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: I had to I had to build my knowledge. That's

360
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 2: when I decided to get my real estate license. I

361
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 2: took a ten week class. It took every day for

362
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: the next ten days, and just study study, took the

363
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,719
Speaker 2: class and took the test, passed it once, and then

364
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: took the state testing and passed it and then really

365
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: just dove all into it.

366
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: Now, Now, what is what's what? What's what's your measurement?

367
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: So you like it was six what and how many powers?

368
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,360
Speaker 2: I was six to one about we're talking about right now?

369
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: No that when you were taking the real estate liights,

370
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: cause I want I won't to see everybody takes much.

371
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: Why are you are you selling homes?

372
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 2: No? I was, yeah, no, everybody everybody was really was

373
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: really surprised, right right.

374
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: Right because you know, because you know what, I love

375
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: that because everybody stereotypes what somebody should look like. So

376
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: you six, one, two, fifty people looking at you, going

377
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: you selling homes to who? And that's and so you

378
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: had to break through that. Now you did that. But

379
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: when did the like you said, the love you found

380
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: your love, man, football was a love. Then this whole

381
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: contract and became a love. Talk about how you win?

382
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:43,680
Speaker 1: Did it went it to that lane?

383
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 2: So really really it became a love once. I once

384
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 2: I actually went through a full I guess term property,

385
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 2: meaning from the beginning to the end, and then seeing

386
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: somebody go inside and actually keep it functional because you

387
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: also do commercial as well. So being able to see

388
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: those immediate results and then see the longevity of the

389
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 2: results really just like made me love it, just like football,

390
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 2: because that's the same thing with football. When we practice,

391
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: we see immedia results and we see media failures, so

392
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 2: we're able to correct those results. That's in the same

393
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: thing when it comes to construction, the actual I guess

394
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 2: process of construction. You know you can see other people's work,

395
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 2: you can see how good you are. So those are

396
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: to me, those are those are great ways to you know,

397
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 2: I guess, value yourself and see how you're doing.

398
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: You know, that's really great that you're saying that. And

399
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,639
Speaker 1: I want to bring that back up because I always

400
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: tell people by goals and short term goals and long

401
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: term goals, and like I would tell people get frustrated

402
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: by college education because that can be a long term goal.

403
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: You know, four years. You can't see the end, you know.

404
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 1: And so but what I like about you is that

405
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: you said, Rashan, look football practice, play a game on

406
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: the weekend. You find out want to lose the results.

407
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: Then you got into construction, the same principles came in

408
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: the way. It might be a week, it might be

409
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: two weeks, it might be a month, but you saw

410
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:19,439
Speaker 1: the results. When you start seeing the results, the consistency

411
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,239
Speaker 1: is what made you realize this is delay that I

412
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: could be happy in correct.

413
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 2: Yep, exactly exactly. And that's and I would say the

414
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 2: results in the failure because me, I'm more of like

415
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: a failure kind of guy. I love motivation off of

416
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 2: failing because now I'm able to see where I can

417
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 2: be and then after I complete that failure. Now, now

418
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 2: you're gonna hear me. You're gonna hear me based on

419
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 2: my hard work, to give us.

420
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: An example of that. Can you share an example of that, Dominic,

421
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: you said failure motivates me. You're not saying, You're not

422
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: trying to put you on the spot, But I want

423
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: to show an example because I believe that. I believe

424
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: that failure is important.

425
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'll give you an example. Right. So, when

426
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: I first got into the league, I had opportunities, specifically

427
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: when I played for the Patriots, the conflict that I

428
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,719
Speaker 2: moved into. I knew the I knew the developer. The

429
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 2: developer wanted to work with me. But I was one young.

430
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 2: I wasn't I didn't have the mindset that I do now,

431
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: So I wasn't able to see the opportunities that I

432
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 2: was that I had in front of me. Right, So,

433
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 2: for me, that's failing at being open minded, that's feeling

434
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 2: that trying new things, that are feeling that not being

435
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,440
Speaker 2: able to capture that opportunity when it was given to you.

436
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: So now now that opportunity has come back in my

437
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 2: face a different way with the partner that I'm working

438
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: with in the construction. Now I'm able to see that

439
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 2: and you know, just go for it. And now that

440
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 2: has worked out to the point where now we own

441
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 2: a construction company, you know, So that that's more of

442
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 2: like long term failure when you're talking about immediate failure.

443
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 2: Me just I talk you about just the other week, right,

444
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: I was taking out quarter arounds doing something, and the

445
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 2: construction was taking out quart around but I forgot to

446
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: cut the quarter around.

447
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: So I pulled off what's the quarter around? What is that?

448
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 2: What is that quarter arounds? That piece of it can

449
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 2: either be wood or plastic at the end, at the

450
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 2: end of your baseball, at the bottom of your baseboard.

451
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 2: So when I was pulling it off, I pulled off

452
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: a bunch of tape. I pulled off a bunch of pink.

453
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 2: The customer complained, realized I did it wrong. Now I

454
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 2: seem completely fail I've seen my failure right then and there. Right,

455
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 2: I was able to face that. And then next week

456
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 2: I had to do the same thing. Now I knew

457
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 2: not to do that. I made sure I cut every

458
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 2: single piece, you know, So I like that type of stuff.

459
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: Now when the customer Caup complained, how did you handle that?

460
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: Because it's important people need to understand that, you know

461
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: those values, the customer is always right. How did you

462
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 1: handle that situation?

463
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 4: Oh?

464
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, with that, I mean the next day, because it

465
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: was at the end of the day. Next day, I

466
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 2: was there at eight o'clock in the morning and she

467
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 2: told us to be that eight. I was there at

468
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 2: seven forty. Made sure she understood that. You know, I'm

469
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 2: taking the I'm taking my mistake. I'm taking accountability for

470
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 2: who are for what I've done. And I like that

471
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: because I, like I said, I like to correct myself

472
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 2: and just let her know it was my fault, you know,

473
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 2: and I make sure it will never happen again. But

474
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 2: it's not going to be a problem because there's other

475
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 2: steps behind that that's going to make.
