Speaker 2: We'll be right back more of the Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 2: You're listening to a special edition of The Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 8: These found me as nineteen keys. You tuned into The Barler.
Speaker 9: Alert Show nineteen Keys is here and a lot of
Speaker 9: For those who don't know, where are you from a
Speaker 9: little background on nineteen Keys.
Speaker 8: I'm from Oakland, California.
Speaker 3: Okay, so good Bay, Yeah area, the Yay area, Yeah,
Speaker 3: some part something called it the Yea areas. You feel me,
Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm born in Saint Louis, though raised in Oakland.
Speaker 3: I left when I was two, so I went back
Speaker 3: and forth in the saying between Oakland and Saint Louis.
Speaker 8: And I consider myself to be.
Speaker 3: A thought leader, serial entrepreneur, creator, designer, really any hyphen
Speaker 3: that I need to be. You know, I don't really
Speaker 3: put myself in those boxes. I just do what I
Speaker 3: want to do.
Speaker 7: Did you design your hat? And what is it? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 8: The hat, the sash? You know what I mean? Just
Speaker 8: a little bit of realty, that's all.
Speaker 1: And you're in the Nation.
Speaker 8: Yes, I was born into it.
Speaker 1: Okay, I was going to ask that, But you were
Speaker 1: born into it?
Speaker 8: Yeah? Okay?
Speaker 7: Can you explain what that means?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 5: I think people sometimes assume like the Nation is just
Speaker 5: an organization, but I think it goes a little deeper
Speaker 5: than that.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it's been around since nineteen thirty, so
Speaker 3: it's generations in right, like my family converted before I
Speaker 3: was born, right, and now you know when we had
Speaker 3: children and their children born growing up as black Muslims
Speaker 3: in America. You know, Honorable Elijah Muhammad was the one
Speaker 3: who introduced Islam to America. So as you see like
Speaker 3: Arabs and unorthodox Arabs and things of that nature practice
Speaker 3: it today, that's because of the foundation that he lied with.
Speaker 3: So being born in the nation, we say that, you
Speaker 3: know when you was born under that structure, you feel
Speaker 3: me coming in the nation of Islam.
Speaker 9: So where did the name nineteen keys come from? Did
Speaker 9: it come from the nation?
Speaker 3: It was probably influenced specifically by a masterful art of Muhammad.
Speaker 3: He's the one who taught the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: He taught them for three years, and then he gave
Speaker 3: him the mission to go on and deliver a message.
Speaker 3: And he successfully delivered that message and brought out the
Speaker 3: likes of like Muhammed and Ali and Malcolm X and
Speaker 3: honorable miss lous far Khan and so on and so forth.
Speaker 3: So he had a quote in the nineteen thirties he said,
Speaker 3: there's seventeen million original people, and there's two million Indians,
Speaker 3: and he said that represents the nineteen million rusty locks.
Speaker 8: And he said, there's nineteen.
Speaker 3: Million well oil keys to unlock those rusty locked minds,
Speaker 3: and those keys is a representation of enlightenment or knowledge
Speaker 3: of self, so that those people could never be oppressed again.
Speaker 3: So I kind of took on the monica of nineteen
Speaker 3: keys as I go about enlightening people.
Speaker 9: And you're doing such a great job at it, Fairy Cohn,
Speaker 9: And you know, Malcolm X of the past, you're kind
Speaker 9: of like that for us in the future, especially in
Speaker 9: the hip hop culture, and how you have high level
Speaker 9: conversations and you're bringing us in.
Speaker 1: Was that by design? Did you always see yourself in
Speaker 1: this space growing up?
Speaker 8: You know?
Speaker 3: I was always taught the right idea at the right time,
Speaker 3: equal success, right like, right now, if you if you
Speaker 3: can fix any problem, you got a good business mind.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: We have a broken culture, right That culture doesn't have
Speaker 3: any values and it's mostly ignorant and based on distraction.
Speaker 3: So when you look at black media, oftentimes they think
Speaker 3: that we don't care about high level subjects, right, like
Speaker 3: we don't listen to consciousness or science or right things
Speaker 3: of higher level of intelligence. But I think it's more
Speaker 3: so just the people who are doing it.
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: You put somebody corny in front of you, you don't want
Speaker 3: to listen to them, regardless of the value, right, And
Speaker 3: we don't put enough production value in it as well.
Speaker 3: So when we do things, we kind of do it
Speaker 3: low level, but the consciousness or the knowledge be high,
Speaker 3: but the quality be low. So you know, we come
Speaker 3: with that innovative approach right like the way any past
Speaker 3: revolutionary or leader or whoever it may have done it
Speaker 3: in the past, that's not my approach. I'm going to
Speaker 3: do it in a way where it looks like in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. I'm gonna use the resources to technology,
Speaker 3: the curture, the network, the collaboration, and any facet that
Speaker 3: I can. And I have some unique creative abilities to
Speaker 3: where we do the directing and designing. We have a
Speaker 3: teams where we do the strategy, and I'll put up
Speaker 3: my own money to get it done right. So I
Speaker 3: believe that that's something that's truly never been done in
Speaker 3: a way. And this is why you probably don't see
Speaker 3: it because most of time people ain't gonna put up
Speaker 3: their own money to deliver.
Speaker 7: A message, especially when you distraction is really high.
Speaker 5: And I think between social media and you know, just
Speaker 5: kids trying to be a lot more grown, I think
Speaker 5: what they are and they don't really have the experience
Speaker 5: of life to try to be as grown as they are.
Speaker 5: It almost seems as if they are pushing further away
Speaker 5: from the word or what it means to be spiritual
Speaker 5: and be a good person. I understand that you're using
Speaker 5: the tools right with the verbage and getting them in.
Speaker 5: Do you think that you're connecting because, like you said,
Speaker 5: you're putting yourself in twenty twenty three terms, but that
Speaker 5: could mean so many things, right, Like it's one thing
Speaker 5: to use social media, but it's a person's decision to
Speaker 5: listen to you. So what do you think it is about, well,
Speaker 5: you that's actually drawing them in to hear you. Because
Speaker 5: I think plenty of people can be in the room
Speaker 5: on the platforms, but it still takes a certain level
Speaker 5: of being for people to actually lock in.
Speaker 8: That's a good question.
Speaker 3: I think I just show up as myself, you know
Speaker 3: what I'm saying, Like, what you see is what you get, right,
Speaker 3: you feel me? Like I think a lot of people
Speaker 3: they try to put on a uniform and they try
Speaker 3: to beat this representation, right, and people know when they're
Speaker 3: being sold with something, right versus, this is just who
Speaker 3: I am. So this is where I am when the
Speaker 3: camera is off and the camera is on, right, and
Speaker 3: I'm from the streets as well, so you know, you
Speaker 3: can have some relatability. And the way I speak, the
Speaker 3: way I move, you know what I mean sometimes in
Speaker 3: the flighting side dress like we're gonna hit you on
Speaker 3: all angles. And you know, I'm empathetic. I got six brothers,
Speaker 3: I got two sisters, right, I grew up in the streets,
Speaker 3: so I understand the different dynamics of consciousness that we're
Speaker 3: dealing with. So I try to speak to people where
Speaker 3: they at. I don't speak to them at my level, right,
Speaker 3: because then people may not understand then that's just me
Speaker 3: trying to sound smart.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: But if I speak to you at your level, I'm
Speaker 3: actually giving you value that you can use practically in
Speaker 3: your life.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: That's one of the chief things people always say, like, damn,
Speaker 3: I've been thinking about that, but I ain't hear nobody
Speaker 3: say it that way, right. And when I can do that,
Speaker 3: I'm connecting the dots for you right, And sometimes it's
Speaker 3: not even giving you new information, that's being a reminder
Speaker 3: in your life of what you already know. What probably
Speaker 3: don't practice right because we have an environment that is
Speaker 3: not built around any of our positive core values, if
Speaker 3: you will right. It's not built around like honor, respect,
Speaker 3: loyal to your family, none of those particular type of things.
Speaker 3: It's built on you know, bullshit, to be honest, you
Speaker 3: feel me. So I just give people, I think a
Speaker 3: lot of tough love. And then when we do high
Speaker 3: level conversations, you know, I think about the different elements
Speaker 3: that were interested in. But because we don't ever see
Speaker 3: it right, we don't really get that opportunity to like
Speaker 3: divest into it.
Speaker 8: You feel me.
Speaker 3: It's like we interested in science, we interested in I
Speaker 3: don't know, aliens. We might be interested in collegy. But
Speaker 3: it's like it's same thing with financial literacy, but historically
Speaker 3: the people who brought it to us never spoke our language.
Speaker 8: You believe in aliens, shit, we the aliens.
Speaker 4: I do have a question though, and you said you
Speaker 4: brought up something so profound to me. A lot of
Speaker 4: us kind of come.
Speaker 8: Up in that street culture.
Speaker 4: How was it for you to mentally stay focused and
Speaker 4: not get sucked in to the streets because you can
Speaker 4: make a lot of easy money on that side.
Speaker 3: Well, I mean I had a few cases growing up,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I did get into the streets,
Speaker 3: just you know, following my older brother, you know, and
Speaker 3: growing up in Oakland and Saint Louis. We grew up
Speaker 3: in you know, wild, dangerous neighborhoods. So you automatically get
Speaker 3: influenced by your environment. Right on the blaged Mama say,
Speaker 3: environment stronger than nature. So regardless of how good you are,
Speaker 3: you get influenced by the things that's around you. So
Speaker 3: you know, early on, y'all, so we are so drugs,
Speaker 3: things of the nature. We did our little crimes. But
Speaker 3: I always had a different consciousness. Was growing up as
Speaker 3: a Muslim, was always telling me from wrong. So I
Speaker 3: knew what I was doing right or wrong. And I
Speaker 3: knew that wasn't a future oriented path, right. I knew
Speaker 3: that that was just because I'm hustling and I'm in
Speaker 3: this environment and I want things that currently I feel
Speaker 3: like my circumstances won't allowed me to have. Right, My
Speaker 3: mom's and pops ain't had no money like that, So
Speaker 3: you know as a man, I'm gonna go out there
Speaker 3: and get it on my own, and I ain't want
Speaker 3: to work at job for a white man. So you know,
Speaker 3: the streets dictated my actions, you know, point oh, I
Speaker 3: had a lot of turning points, and I'm you know.
Speaker 1: Was there something stificate?
Speaker 3: I would say the most significant when I was nineteen
Speaker 3: years old, which just happened to be you know, I
Speaker 3: had a case, but I took that to trivel and
Speaker 3: I beat that case. And during that motion, I just remember,
Speaker 3: you know, when I got locked up, I was reading
Speaker 3: this book and it was a story book and I
Speaker 3: read it fully all the way through. And then when
Speaker 3: I closed that book, I just realized, like man, that
Speaker 3: shit got me nowhere closer to my freedom. And then
Speaker 3: when I was extra diuicted from I think of Iowa
Speaker 3: to Oakland. I remember my brother who was fighting the
Speaker 3: same case, but he was behind bars. He gave me
Speaker 3: a list of books to read, right, and these books
Speaker 3: helped me strategize. These books helped me actually critical think
Speaker 3: and understand the environment and this game that I was
Speaker 3: dealing with right, which was fighting for my freedom. So
Speaker 3: I used that knowledge. I remember even telling my lawyer
Speaker 3: things and different emotions that he can foil to help
Speaker 3: out the case, right, And he ended up doing that
Speaker 3: and they actually worked, and he told me later on
Speaker 3: that was the first case he had won. That's dope,
Speaker 3: you know, but you had a public defender, yeah, for surely.
Speaker 8: In your case.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But I just that that just put a lot
Speaker 3: of things in perspective, like you can't put your freedom
Speaker 3: in nobody's hands, right, and you can't put your power
Speaker 3: in nobody hands.
Speaker 8: And I got to dictate my whole life.
Speaker 3: So when that judge read that verdict of not guilty, man,
Speaker 3: I just decided that I'm never going to end up
Speaker 3: back in this court room.
Speaker 4: And I know my ladies are going to chat in
Speaker 4: I just really want you said another word that joked
Speaker 4: at me, because again, I think young African American men
Speaker 4: and African American men lack critical thinking. That's something that
Speaker 4: is absent in our community and the world. I really
Speaker 4: wanted you to kind of expound on your critical thinking.
Speaker 4: Was it a book that brought that to realization for you?
Speaker 8: Or I mean, I would say, because critical thing is
Speaker 8: like working out for us, Yeah, we need.
Speaker 3: The book helped me advance it, But that's not where
Speaker 3: it started. I think it started being a Muslim, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like you critical think about the world.
Speaker 3: We was taught to white men the devil, black man, God.
Speaker 3: You don't get more critical of the world than that, right,
Speaker 3: So it starts a foundation. If you looking at the
Speaker 3: government a certain way, you looking at everything a certain way,
Speaker 3: You look at Christianity a certain way. We look at
Speaker 3: the way people eat, the way people talk, the way
Speaker 3: curture moves. Everything you assessed from a critical eye and perspective, right.
Speaker 3: And so even when I was a child, I always
Speaker 3: did that. We rolled with the game, but always looked
Speaker 3: at them like y'all victims of white supremacy, right by
Speaker 3: your name, by your religion practice. So everything was always
Speaker 3: a critical examination. But then it gave me specific critical
Speaker 3: examination of the system, right understanding, Like when we went
Speaker 3: in there, and I mean I was reading like Dialogue
Speaker 3: of Socrates and the other one was like Art of Deception,
Speaker 3: and a lot of one's given a breakdown on how
Speaker 3: the language and the system was first created, right like
Speaker 3: courtroom is all about it's a game. It ain't about justices,
Speaker 3: about who can win, right, and it's a very deceptive
Speaker 3: use of language in that game. Right, So when you
Speaker 3: learn to like hear certain language, I always say every
Speaker 3: level of consciousness comes with a new language. So I
Speaker 3: wanted to be aware of the game that was being
Speaker 3: played around me because I might not have interpreted and
Speaker 3: understood it correctly.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: So critical thinking can go in many different phases. And
Speaker 3: I'll say it's the world, not just Black America. The
Speaker 3: world is lacking just higher intelligence, period right, Like people
Speaker 3: are Like you can tell how smart people are about
Speaker 3: what they're entertained by, right, And if we look on
Speaker 3: a con them basically entertained by the most ignorant I mean,
Speaker 3: the most lowest level, dumbest things on.
Speaker 8: The planet earth.
Speaker 3: Right, it could be a meme and it just crack
Speaker 3: you up, you know what I'm saying, Like, that's a
Speaker 3: representation of your own intelligence. Right, And so when I
Speaker 3: think about the world today, it's definitely not just black people.
Speaker 3: It's across the spectrum in the whole world. Not critical thinking.
Speaker 3: And when they do critical thinking, they don't do anything
Speaker 3: about what they find out, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: We can find out that the government wants to do
Speaker 3: some crazy experiment on it, on this, and then we
Speaker 3: a trip maybe for one day, and go back to
Speaker 3: our business the next. Right, So it's not just critical thinking,
Speaker 3: it's actually responding and executing and being strategic off the
Speaker 3: things that you learned about as well, because we don't
Speaker 3: just want a bunch of people that you know the
Speaker 3: problem but know nothing about it.
Speaker 9: With all that, all the lessons, can you bring us
Speaker 9: to high level conversations? And what you know led you
Speaker 9: to brand all of unit, your teachings and your lessons
Speaker 9: to give us high level conversations today.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I remember when I first was again started, I did
Speaker 3: a show with my brother Rich from Black Magic. He
Speaker 3: has a YouTube channel, right, He's big in the conscious community,
Speaker 3: probably like the biggest conscious channel, if you will.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: He interviews everybody that has something of value to say
Speaker 3: and some sort of knowledge to split. And I remember
Speaker 3: just thinking about the state of the country community at
Speaker 3: that time. Right, Because I'm from Oakland, we didn't really
Speaker 3: grow up in like the New York debate game. We
Speaker 3: ain't really do that, you know. I seen black men
Speaker 3: with powering money, you know what I'm saying, growing up,
Speaker 3: So that was always my aspiration of thought, like if
Speaker 3: success looks like having powering money, and didn't look like
Speaker 3: just sounded smart.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: So you know, I remember I made a controversial statement
Speaker 3: that the conscious community is dead. And what I meant
Speaker 3: by that is at the time, I was forming a
Speaker 3: group with some brothers and we was traveling around teaching
Speaker 3: about solutions. Right, we was teaching about you know, and
Speaker 3: showcasing what that solution looked like in real time through collaboration.
Speaker 3: And I told him is dead in the sense not physically,
Speaker 3: but just in the sense that the evolution is solutions, right,
Speaker 3: that we have to be the things that we want
Speaker 3: to see and not just talk about them.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: So fast forward, when I thought about it too, I
Speaker 3: used to see all these smart, brilliant brothers and I'll
Speaker 3: be like, how y'all got all their intelligence, but we
Speaker 3: don't build nothing, right. How do we complain about black
Speaker 3: media and complain about lack of representation, but we don't
Speaker 3: put our money. Our mind is and then we put
Speaker 3: that together, right, So the opportunity to create high level
Speaker 3: conversations was just examining the opportunity of the now. Saying
Speaker 3: that we can control media right in media is one
Speaker 3: of those tenets of nation building because you control the
Speaker 3: message that people receive right, and if you can do
Speaker 3: it on the mass scale, then you can actually have
Speaker 3: influence on global politics, you can have influence on the culture.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: So when you talk about high level conversations, you know,
Speaker 3: I had a conversation with Earn your leisure my brothers
Speaker 3: were shot and Troy really like a couple of blocks
Speaker 3: away from here when we first started the idea of
Speaker 3: putting together you know, high level conversations and what that
Speaker 3: collaboration could look like, right, because I'm very deep in
Speaker 3: when it comes to collaborating with people, because that's how
Speaker 3: you showcase the unity instead of talk about it, right.
Speaker 3: And I remember talking with a Mechi, who's my show producer.
Speaker 3: You know, it was like, if we're gonna do a show,
Speaker 3: it has to be high level. The production has to
Speaker 3: be high level, because last thing I would want to
Speaker 3: watch is somebody talking about consciousness but it's looked bootlet
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like, I need to be
Speaker 3: able to take some of your Netflix time, right, and
Speaker 3: the only way I can do that is if the
Speaker 3: quality is on part right. So that's why we created
Speaker 3: a show rather than the podcast, because we wanted to
Speaker 3: make sure that it was entertaining in the sense that
Speaker 3: you can watch it. So some people watching two three
Speaker 3: hour video and they like, I don't know how do
Speaker 3: I get through your videos? But it continues to draw
Speaker 3: me in. And so when you know you respect the viewer, right,
Speaker 3: you're gonna put it in that quality. They respect the quality,
Speaker 3: so they respect the show. And then we say, okay,
Speaker 3: let's let's we started off talking about like wealth, right,
Speaker 3: because I wanted to start it off on a practical basis.
Speaker 3: Then we start talking about masculinity. Then we start talking
Speaker 3: about science and physics and philosophy and psychology and all
Speaker 3: of these different areas. And I wanted to prove to
Speaker 3: the world, like especially these black networks that claim to
Speaker 3: be the voice of Black America.
Speaker 8: Not a lot of networks.
Speaker 3: Nah, you know what I'm saying. They claim it, but
Speaker 3: I ain't seen nobody do it. You feel me effectively,
Speaker 3: And the excuse is nobody watches it. Nah, that ain't true, right,
Speaker 3: I know, the reality of it is is that white
Speaker 3: corporations ain't gonna give you ad dollars to give black
Speaker 3: people nothing high level, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 3: you know, I study you know, marketing, and I study production.
Speaker 3: I study how to put these things together, and I
Speaker 3: got to give a lot of talent to the team
Speaker 3: because you know, took the vision and executed it in
Speaker 3: a manner where people were shocked, like damn, I wasn't
Speaker 3: expecting that this is actually hell a good good And
Speaker 3: then you think about somebody like Tyrek Nashi where he
Speaker 3: had to hit in colors, right, that was such a
Speaker 3: good documentary. You always learn something new and it always
Speaker 3: kept you engaged where you wanted to learn more, then
Speaker 3: you wanted to share that information with somebody else. So
Speaker 3: a lot of people are getting the whole shock of consciousness.
Speaker 3: Things that they never knew existed, right, or thoughts said they.
Speaker 8: Thought about are now being validated. Right.
Speaker 3: And this is given space for a high level culture
Speaker 3: to be brought about because it's ain't that Wait a minute,
Speaker 3: not only you know it's somebody doing it, but they're
Speaker 3: doing it successful. So now there's going to be a
Speaker 3: way of new creators and new talent that come about
Speaker 3: and say that if keys could do it, then I
Speaker 3: can do it. So the goal is to be able
Speaker 3: to create that influence so that we see a trickle effect.
Speaker 5: While we know the message is the most important people
Speaker 5: are attracted to production like that. That's why content is
Speaker 5: so crazy now. So I think it's a great point
Speaker 5: for you to say, you know what you got to
Speaker 5: make the people want to come. If the message it
Speaker 5: enough of somebody, let's drop I'm in with the production
Speaker 5: and you know, hopefully they get the message.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, my my things is we take we
Speaker 3: take the things that are the best and most valuable
Speaker 3: for us. For granted, we take them as luxuries. So
Speaker 3: I'm gonna package it as a luxury. I'm gonna make
Speaker 3: it aspirational that you feel me the sheet.
Speaker 9: I think every kid you know that should be in
Speaker 9: the curriculum of hitting colors because that.
Speaker 1: Is I got, I own all of the DVDs. But
Speaker 1: so we go on to Paradigm keys.
Speaker 3: Now, basically, I wanted to give a starting point for
Speaker 3: like frequently asked questions, because people always ask, where do
Speaker 3: I start? How do I start reprogramming myself? How do
Speaker 3: I start critical thinking right? How do I start eating better?
Speaker 3: What is a routine? So it's a very quick read,
Speaker 3: practical guy for somebody to get started and start thinking
Speaker 3: differently right, And you know that's probably gonna be the
Speaker 3: shortest book I ever put out, but I wanted, you
Speaker 3: know that to be a foundation. And my next book
Speaker 3: is actually gonna call Self Wars. So it's about, you know,
Speaker 3: the daily battles that we face mentally and spiritually right
Speaker 3: and giving people strategies that they can actually utilize right
Speaker 3: daily to win life.
Speaker 9: Speaking of the strategies, can you give us a good
Speaker 9: like top five of.
Speaker 1: Things that we can change?
Speaker 3: I would say focus on number one. Focusing on habits
Speaker 3: is key, right, because most people start with goals, right.
Speaker 3: So you know, if you have the always say this
Speaker 3: one and people don't like it sometime, but you know,
Speaker 3: you cannot have slim habits or you can't have slim
Speaker 3: goals with fat habits, right, And so it's.
Speaker 8: The same thing as you can't have.
Speaker 3: Rich goals will broke habits right, And a lot of
Speaker 3: people have these rich goals. I want to be a millionaire,
Speaker 3: I want to do this, but you have the habits
Speaker 3: of somebody is going to be poor, right, And so
Speaker 3: if I'm examining somebody's life and I want to be
Speaker 3: like them to take on their discipline, I'm gonna take
Speaker 3: on your habits so I can get your results, right,
Speaker 3: not your goals. Right, So two people at the same
Speaker 3: level with the same goals, only the person with the habits.
Speaker 8: To meet that goal would get those reasonsults.
Speaker 3: So Number one, I would tell people to change that
Speaker 3: attitude and that thought process towards reaching goals and focus
Speaker 3: on creating consistent habits, which requires you to focus on
Speaker 3: the process and not the results.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: We have a very process oriented social media reality where
Speaker 3: you see somebody on their ten thousand day of success
Speaker 3: and you want their results, but you don't want to
Speaker 3: go through their ten thousand days to get there, right.
Speaker 3: So therefore is disillusional, right, because you want things you
Speaker 3: would never be the person to actually receive, right. And
Speaker 3: so that to me is a number one focus. Another
Speaker 3: thing is just you know, lately, I've been doing a
Speaker 3: lot of like shadow work, right, like re examining you know,
Speaker 3: who I am and how I became who I am? Right,
Speaker 3: And when I start to think about that, is that
Speaker 3: who you are today and the decisions that you make,
Speaker 3: you know, and why sometimes we can make decisions against
Speaker 3: ourselves because those are preconditions. That's how we was conditioned
Speaker 3: as children, and it's how that we was programmed.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: But you can be trying to discipline yourself now because
Speaker 3: you have a new thought on who you want to be,
Speaker 3: but your patterns and your habits won't let you break that, right.
Speaker 3: And so one of the things to be able to
Speaker 3: focus on is fasting, right, like creating detox in your life.
Speaker 3: And then when you detox from one thing, then you
Speaker 3: have to replace it with something else that is better,
Speaker 3: because our body and our life don't like get balanced, right,
Speaker 3: because then we're going to crave that thing that we
Speaker 3: just lost, right, So instead you have to replace that
Speaker 3: with some sort of other social rhythm. So most people
Speaker 3: should focus on eating better.
Speaker 8: Right. We every like it's the thing. It's like fifty
Speaker 8: to sixty percent.
Speaker 3: Of America's obese, right, And that's why people have to
Speaker 3: start coming up with terms like, you know, fast shaming
Speaker 3: and body shaming, right, when really is that was never
Speaker 3: a term in any other point in history. If somebody
Speaker 3: was obese and they was doing something that was unhealthy,
Speaker 3: a person diagnosed that and told them the correct way
Speaker 3: go about making themselves better.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: And it's not so much of it you feeling shame
Speaker 3: because you feel like you're a bad person when you
Speaker 3: feel shamed. But you are guilty, right, You're guilty of
Speaker 3: your decisions, and you're guilty of.
Speaker 8: That reality is accountability. Yeah, like for a.
Speaker 3: Doctor to point it out or anybody to point it out,
Speaker 3: it's not a bad thing. So I focus on fasting
Speaker 3: number one and that just allows you to gain your power.
Speaker 8: It depends.
Speaker 3: Right now, I just got a Ramadan from fast and
Speaker 3: so I feel like I lost a lot of my gangs,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. I got a little more cut.
Speaker 3: But I want to get back to my Bradley status.
Speaker 3: So I'm actually gonna be eating probably a few times
Speaker 3: a day. But my recommendation for people who don't work
Speaker 3: out and they not burning that to eat one time
Speaker 3: a day.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Do you work out?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What do you eat?
Speaker 8: I mean I eat food? You want me saying, right?
Speaker 8: Healthy your health?
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah?
Speaker 8: So what food should we not eat? What foods should
Speaker 8: black people stop eating?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, the most number one notorious enemy of
Speaker 3: black people is poor.
Speaker 4: I just told my cousin today, I said he was
Speaker 4: talking about his blood pressure was high.
Speaker 8: I said, man, you gotta stop eating that pork.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 8: I don't really trust people eat pork.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like I don't trust people who still
Speaker 3: smoke cigarettes and eat McDonald's, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Because it's like, well, it's such an obvious thing that's
Speaker 3: bad for you. And if you can't make a decision
Speaker 3: to change this, how can I trust your other decision
Speaker 3: making skills?
Speaker 1: Keep a plant, you know?
Speaker 3: I mean, you got to think about how while we
Speaker 3: start eating bacon in the first place.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: Edward Burnet was a psychologist and he ran propaganda schemes
Speaker 3: for corporations. So what they wanted to do was the
Speaker 3: increase the sale of pork and bacon. So he created
Speaker 3: propaganda that connected it to a hearty, good breakfast. So
Speaker 3: he actually had people thinking that it was healthy. Right,
Speaker 3: So people eat bacon today a part of their ritual
Speaker 3: because of capitalism. Right, And so all these people have
Speaker 3: died of diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, things of
Speaker 3: that nature because somebody a psychologists decided to hack the
Speaker 3: mind of people and manipulate them into buying a product.
Speaker 3: Same thing with cigarettes, and there was a time where
Speaker 3: women didn't smoke cigarettes at all. They looked at it
Speaker 3: as a man thing. And so he came up with
Speaker 3: a scheme to connect it to a rebellion like a protest.
Speaker 3: He had all the women pull out their cigarettes during
Speaker 3: this protests and start smoking, and it was seen as
Speaker 3: a protest of man's power, a torchlight of freedom as
Speaker 3: they called it, right. And so after that they was
Speaker 3: able to create a completely new market base of women's
Speaker 3: smokers because they started smoking it and thinking that they
Speaker 3: were being more free, right, And so a lot of
Speaker 3: things that we do today we think it's freedom, we
Speaker 3: think it's progress, not realizing this is somebody's pr scheme
Speaker 3: to sell a product, mark like getting married.
Speaker 1: So they sold the ring, you know, to make them want.
Speaker 3: To buy rings. And really, you know now that it
Speaker 3: got the lab grown diamonds as big right now, which
Speaker 3: you can't ask the dimond tests. Yeah, it passes the
Speaker 3: diamond tests. The people can't even they can't tell the difference,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, because it's still a diamond.
Speaker 8: It's just grown in a lab.
Speaker 3: You feel me, like a lot of the things that
Speaker 3: we were sold, we just don't realize it and we
Speaker 3: don't want to, you know, we connect so much of
Speaker 3: who we are into products. So, like the switch was,
Speaker 3: how do you get people to start focusing on things
Speaker 3: that they desire versus things that they need. Right, and
Speaker 3: so now we have a society that's completely based on
Speaker 3: desires and not needs. So people are gonna have all
Speaker 3: these things they desire, none of the things that they need.
Speaker 7: It's the gold for you though.
Speaker 8: Oh for surely we're doing the gold.
Speaker 1: See that.
Speaker 8: Listen.
Speaker 3: We in some hectic times when it comes to currency
Speaker 3: and things of that nature. And my suggestion is that
Speaker 3: everybody should buy gold and silver. Yeah, I would say
Speaker 3: take at least twenty to forty percent or whatever you
Speaker 3: work for your income, put it in gold and silver,
Speaker 3: as well as other diversified you know areas.
Speaker 8: But definitely by We'll be right back.
Speaker 2: Stay tuned with more of the Baller Alert Show. You're
Speaker 2: listening to a special edition of The Baller Alert Show.
Speaker 3: He's found me as nineteen keys. You tuned into the
Speaker 3: Barlow Alert Show.
Speaker 1: You have a lot of women fans, and I'm sure
Speaker 1: you know that. Are you married?
Speaker 8: I'm not married. Are you the relationship? It's complicated?
Speaker 1: What does that mean?
Speaker 8: I'd rather not do having to it.
Speaker 1: But you do have a lot of women fans.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I imagine I think maybe.
Speaker 5: Women well some of the women probably were drawn in
Speaker 5: to you, just you know, physically.
Speaker 7: So I worked with Tennessee.
Speaker 5: I was out there in Utah and one of my
Speaker 5: girlfriends calls me and I was like.
Speaker 7: Your boo is here, and she was like, who's my poof?
Speaker 7: It's like nineteen keys is that our events?
Speaker 1: She was like, get that?
Speaker 5: I want to say literally, so I could not even
Speaker 5: tell her that we were interviewing you today because she
Speaker 5: would probably pull up acting a fool.
Speaker 7: But your female audience is really strong.
Speaker 5: So what I want to know is meeting these females
Speaker 5: out in public, are they trying to have real high
Speaker 5: level conversations or are they just try to see someone else?
Speaker 3: I imagine there's a mix of both. You know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Like, I'm from Oakland, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I'm a man, I got six brothers. You know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. We you know, we gameed that we gained tight.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 3: So, like social media, any impression that I get now
Speaker 3: is nothing new for me, to be honest, you feel
Speaker 3: me Like, I think there's a lot of people who
Speaker 3: when they start to get a platform and profile and
Speaker 3: they get attention to women, that's new for them.
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying for me, you know, to
Speaker 8: be honest, it's been my whole life.
Speaker 3: You feel me like, always been who I am, always
Speaker 3: been confident, right, I'm very self aware. So yeah, it
Speaker 3: ain't nothing new, man, You feel me? Yeah, tours tours season,
Speaker 3: you feel me?
Speaker 8: Is what it is.
Speaker 3: But you know, I know I'm of the other zero
Speaker 3: point zero zero zero zero zero one percent. And what man,
Speaker 3: when it's plenty.
Speaker 7: Like what?
Speaker 5: Yeah, have you met a woman that you just knew
Speaker 5: was not being genuine like she's trying to have.
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean people that's not genuine all the time.
Speaker 3: I think people always try to show up as a
Speaker 3: version they think I want to see it. Yeah, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, And I'm just a real person.
Speaker 3: So I'm just gonna look at you like I already
Speaker 3: know what you're doing. You feel me, But I think
Speaker 3: that's natural, and I think it's actually a good thing
Speaker 3: because I think, you know, part of it is kind
Speaker 3: of like raising the standards, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: Like it's a lot of like there's a lot of
Speaker 3: men who follow me as well, right, they really tap
Speaker 3: in because you know, I stand on when I stand
Speaker 3: on and I don't really lets society push me around
Speaker 3: in a sense of repairsing my masculinity. You know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying, I don't really care what you're thinking, care
Speaker 3: about the new constructs or agendas whatsoever. And a lot
Speaker 3: of men nowadays don't want to stand on that because
Speaker 3: even though they may agree, they're afraid to say. They say,
Speaker 3: you know, who got the most power that people gotta
Speaker 3: whisper about, right, So shit, I rather have people whispering
Speaker 3: about me. It's a representation I got some power. But
Speaker 3: black men don't be taking space no more. Black men
Speaker 3: don't be wilful. And I ain't saying all of us,
Speaker 3: but I'm just saying the common consensus amongst men these days.
Speaker 3: So to be one who does stand on what I
Speaker 3: stand on based on who I am, I think that's
Speaker 3: a good aspirational thing versus them just liking an entertainer
Speaker 3: of things of that nature because there's only one of me, right,
Speaker 3: But if you find those same qualities of men who
Speaker 3: stand up that's masculine, you feel me and the man
Speaker 3: that you with, then I think that those are better
Speaker 3: characteristics to examine and be attracted to.
Speaker 5: It seems like what's on the table right now is
Speaker 5: what does masculinity mean?
Speaker 7: What does being a woman mean?
Speaker 5: There's so much of these conversations going on right now.
Speaker 7: Do you think I think we.
Speaker 8: Know what it means?
Speaker 3: We just allowing people to redefine it, you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. And I don't think that they had a
Speaker 3: power to redefine it like it ain't nothing to question.
Speaker 3: I think we got to stop questioning and making that
Speaker 3: like a real reality. The people who question it, let
Speaker 3: them question themselves, right, But I don't think that that's
Speaker 3: a question for the broader society who already got it.
Speaker 8: Figure it out.
Speaker 1: Do you look for a Muslim woman?
Speaker 8: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Absolutely, Well, Muslim means one who submits his or her
Speaker 3: will to do the will of God. Right, so by definition,
Speaker 3: most people will consider themselves to be a Muslim. Right now,
Speaker 3: I was just having this conversation with the good brother
Speaker 3: Steven speaks, actually be doing a high level conversation on
Speaker 3: relationships and we break all this stuff down. Is one
Speaker 3: hundred percent I think Brother Nourry said. He say, beyond
Speaker 3: making the decision right to believe or follow God, the
Speaker 3: next best decision is the person you gonna be with
Speaker 3: for the rest of your life right, which is extremely important.
Speaker 3: So having a spiritual foundation in alignment with the person
Speaker 3: that you're with is completely in one hundred percent necessary.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: The brother used a term yesterday. He was talking about
Speaker 3: how most people are spiritually passive. Right, So when you
Speaker 3: have people that are spiritually passive, you know, most people
Speaker 3: are not that ingrained in their beliefs, you know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying, Most people that believe that they're Christians or
Speaker 3: Jehovah witnesses, like they're not practicing it to the t
Speaker 3: where you know, they're not willing to learn something new.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: I think I was always taught that Islam is not
Speaker 3: a religion, it's a way of life.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: I was taught that Prophet Muhammad, Peace to be upon him,
Speaker 3: was taught the original way that African people were living, right,
Speaker 3: and then he taught that to his people to civilize
Speaker 3: them because they was being savage.
Speaker 8: So it underbeliged.
Speaker 3: Mohammed said, he gave it Islam to black people in
Speaker 3: America right as a way to recondition them back into
Speaker 3: the original state of being, because we were giving another new religion,
Speaker 3: a new language, right, a new set of rules, new foundation,
Speaker 3: new names, new way of doing marriage and life. We
Speaker 3: don't take on none of those ancestral tenets and or practices.
Speaker 3: You feel me, So I choose to answer it in
Speaker 3: that way because I believe that most black people, especially
Speaker 3: black men as well, actually don't mind being Muslims. It's
Speaker 3: the connotation connected to it that their parents may have
Speaker 3: told them, a society that told them. But when you
Speaker 3: think about it, right, most black people are actually conservative right,
Speaker 3: and they viewpoints and traditional in their viewpoints and are
Speaker 3: in complete alignment with you know, the tenants and agreements
Speaker 3: of Islam.
Speaker 5: It definitely seems as if you know, religion is taught
Speaker 5: like when you're born, you're born into whatever your family is.
Speaker 5: You kind of don't have an opportunity at a young
Speaker 5: age to explore what the different religious beliefs are and
Speaker 5: choose what works.
Speaker 3: So you talk out to question things too. My household
Speaker 3: is different. We taught to question everything. I think my
Speaker 3: mom's got tired of them questions. But I had to
Speaker 3: figure it out, you know. And I've examined all religions,
Speaker 3: I've studied all different ways of life, I study all
Speaker 3: different sciences and background, and I haven't examined nothing in
Speaker 3: the foundation from the teachers I Oblija Muhammad that I
Speaker 3: thought was erraneo as to where I need to change.
Speaker 1: What are your views on marriage?
Speaker 3: I think marriage is cool. I think what's important though,
Speaker 3: beyond just marriage is alignment and the agreement that you
Speaker 3: have with the person that you're with. I think traditions,
Speaker 3: you know, and just traditionalism can be dangerous to follow
Speaker 3: a path just because without actually examining your real reasons.
Speaker 3: Why right, So on the outside, you can look successful
Speaker 3: because you're in marriage, but you ain't happy. And I
Speaker 3: don't think that, you know, allow God will want people
Speaker 3: to be in unhappy circumstances to please society because that's
Speaker 3: pleasing man, understand me. And so when I look at marriage, right,
Speaker 3: marriage is a legal binding between two people. It's a
Speaker 3: contract to create a partnership to do business together. Right
Speaker 3: In that business, people choose those partners because they love
Speaker 3: that partner that they want to do business with for
Speaker 3: the rest of their life. So if I'm choosing somebody,
Speaker 3: it's somebody that I'm in alignment with an agreement when
Speaker 3: and we're building something together. Right, And me, as a
Speaker 3: very masculine man, right, I have to have a very
Speaker 3: feminine woman, Right, she has to be in that flow
Speaker 3: and she has to be somebody that can help provide peace.
Speaker 3: You feel me like, you know, I know there's a
Speaker 3: new age of super progressiveness and all things of that nature, right,
Speaker 3: But those things are not attractive to me, right, I'm
Speaker 3: still attracted to the traditional qualities of what a woman is,
Speaker 3: you know, So that's what I look for.
Speaker 5: Like what like? Yeah, what's the difference between the traditional
Speaker 5: qualities and the new age?
Speaker 3: Well, I think the new age is about what a
Speaker 3: woman has. Traditional is about who she is. Right, So
Speaker 3: women start to examine themselves based on their accomplishments and
Speaker 3: their ambitions, right, similar to the way men have always
Speaker 3: examined themselves. But men have never been attracted to women
Speaker 3: based on their accomplishments. It was based on your qualities, right.
Speaker 3: So your softness, your tendness, your bilio intuition, right yo
Speaker 3: yo yo yo, your feminine actions, right yo. How we
Speaker 3: speak to each other, how we build with each other.
Speaker 3: That ability to be able to create peace in a
Speaker 3: home and to be able to build with me. You
Speaker 3: feeling like you my partner, my confidant. You know what
Speaker 3: I'm saying. You see things that I don't see you
Speaker 3: in my second brain.
Speaker 1: Would you ever get married?
Speaker 5: Yeah, for surely, like legally or would it just be
Speaker 5: an experiment between.
Speaker 3: I think I had to think about it, right because
Speaker 3: I just examined the benefits of legally or like setting
Speaker 3: up a trust or things of that nature. I think
Speaker 3: it's really the same thing. Like marriage is like a
Speaker 3: very metaphysical bond, you know what I'm saying, Like you
Speaker 3: sign that paper and like you now are metaphysically connected
Speaker 3: with this like ritual that you all have done. It's
Speaker 3: a whole ritual in process. So but I also believe
Speaker 3: you can create your own rituals and process. Like we're
Speaker 3: not jumping off of brooms and ship, but you know
Speaker 3: we're gonna figure out something that works.
Speaker 8: No, no, no kids. I got a lot of nieces
Speaker 8: and nephews.
Speaker 3: You want your own kids, oh for sure, especially my
Speaker 3: own kids.
Speaker 1: You know, having some time to give them back, you know, something.
Speaker 7: That did not want nobody else for sure.
Speaker 5: So if you met a woman who already had children,
Speaker 5: she's out out of the question.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it's one hundred percent out of the question.
Speaker 3: But you know, I'm looking to spread my own legacy
Speaker 3: you mean, not further another man.
Speaker 8: You don't want to be no stepdaddy.
Speaker 3: No, I'm not gonna be a stepdaddy. No disrespect to
Speaker 3: the stepfather. I mean because a lot of step father
Speaker 3: stepped up when the father's didn't.
Speaker 8: I respect it.
Speaker 3: And you know, I can't never say never, but I
Speaker 3: know for a fact that I would want a woman
Speaker 3: to have my seat.
Speaker 7: Maybe the more you never know, she would have to.
Speaker 9: Be the highest level tour. Yeah you're on it right now. Yeah,
Speaker 9: what was.
Speaker 1: That that you just deal with Dame Dash? Was that
Speaker 1: part of the tour or was.
Speaker 8: That it was just like some pre tour action what
Speaker 8: I'm saying.
Speaker 9: I love that you guys are together, Like, yeah, he's
Speaker 9: one of my favorite people.
Speaker 8: That's a straight shooter man.
Speaker 3: I always wanted to work with Dame just because I
Speaker 3: was always in agreement with the things that he said.
Speaker 8: And you know, even as.
Speaker 3: He spoke about like the Court of Vrtures and things
Speaker 3: of that nature, he will say things that everybody was thinking, right,
Speaker 3: but it was afraid to say. People was afraid to
Speaker 3: lose their jobs, friends, positions, things of that nature.
Speaker 8: And it's like somebody has.
Speaker 3: To come and speak the truth, right, and when people
Speaker 3: do that, you have to support them for speaking that
Speaker 3: truth because they opened up so many doors for everybody else, right,
Speaker 3: whether people to give that credence or them flowers, so
Speaker 3: many people lives changed from the truth speakers.
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: You got you know, that's why I talk about, you know,
Speaker 3: the top tours in the world, like we rule over communication,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. You got Minister Farkhan, you
Speaker 3: got Malcolm X, you got dang Dash, you got myself.
Speaker 3: Even Shakespeare was a tourist, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So the greatest communicators and speakers of truth on the
Speaker 3: planet Earth resonate with that energy. So I always wanted
Speaker 3: to do someone with Dame. So we went back to Oakland,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, my city, and yeah, the
Speaker 3: people showed out. Man, it was a sold our crowd
Speaker 3: and it was dope because it was like one of
Speaker 3: the first events that oak can get to have like that.
Speaker 3: You feel me and the godless to like bring new
Speaker 3: type of events that we can go to, like we
Speaker 3: when you think of yeah, no, of course not, of
Speaker 3: course not. You know, like we don't really have that
Speaker 3: many options. You know what I'm saying the things that
Speaker 3: we can do. You gotta make the concert, club, lounge
Speaker 3: or something. But it's like we need new experiences, right
Speaker 3: that can feel those same slots of time. But we're
Speaker 3: gonna have a good time, we go vibe, we're gonna learn,
Speaker 3: and we're in the midst of the most high level
Speaker 3: people in our cities.
Speaker 8: You feel me.
Speaker 3: So for me, that's important because it's also a representation
Speaker 3: of somebody like myself being able to go on tour, right,
Speaker 3: to sell out shows and things that are nature that's new,
Speaker 3: that represents a new culture, that represents a shift in
Speaker 3: the times. So I look at this tour like I
Speaker 3: could stay at home and make money on the internet, right,
Speaker 3: I can do something digital. It's not a money play, right,
Speaker 3: this is an impact. This is about showcasing the change,
Speaker 3: like the culture is now shifting. So I always tell
Speaker 3: people come out and support it, Like you are supporting
Speaker 3: the representation of change in the world.
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: You support and like, you know, transformational experiences and you
Speaker 3: go get some game.
Speaker 9: How is it thro't making money in your in your
Speaker 9: line of business? How do you sustain wealth?
Speaker 5: Yeah, I almost feel like some people just assume more
Speaker 5: expect that you know, you either should stay within a
Speaker 5: certain tax bracket.
Speaker 7: Like they just find.
Speaker 5: It so hard to believe that you can be financially
Speaker 5: successful and speak about spirituality.
Speaker 3: I mean, we live in twenty twenty three. I don't
Speaker 3: see how you could think that a person can pick
Speaker 3: up a microphone and a camera and go on YouTube
Speaker 3: and be viral, you know what I'm saying, hit a
Speaker 3: million views and get tens.
Speaker 8: Of thousands of dollars.
Speaker 3: Right, So, like the idea, like people played the My
Speaker 3: grandparents played the lottery for like seventy years and didn't win,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. Yet they put money in
Speaker 3: that system each and every day and every week and
Speaker 3: every month. But our generation don't want to play the
Speaker 3: lottery of picking up a new skills set and see
Speaker 3: if they win, you know what I'm saying, because we
Speaker 3: only spend our time correctly. Right, there's young children making
Speaker 3: tens of millions of dollars on YouTube right now, right,
Speaker 3: So for me, I think adults are just lazy.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: The smart people already credit the tools we got a
Speaker 3: artistisial intelligence that's around now, and it really takes out
Speaker 3: all of your excuses. Now you just have to look
Speaker 3: at it and say, damn, every goal that I ever wanted,
Speaker 3: every idea that ever wont it is now possible. I
Speaker 3: can't say it's my lack of budget, my lack of
Speaker 3: having a big team, none of those different things. Now
Speaker 3: you have to look at yourself. And this is why
Speaker 3: I'm coming up with the book Self Wars, because what
Speaker 3: I realize is that the enemy ain't racism and ain't
Speaker 3: white supremacy. It ain't sexism, and ain't bigotry, right, none
Speaker 3: of those things. It's your own mind that's stopping you
Speaker 3: from moving forward, you know what I'm saying. And if
Speaker 3: you can't get past that, then you can't think creatively
Speaker 3: on how you're going to use these tools.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: So we got books, we got health products, we got
Speaker 3: tour we got speaking engagements, right, you know, I got
Speaker 3: tech products coming out. We got the clothing, we got
Speaker 3: the hats, right, we do collaborations, we got the sponsorships.
Speaker 8: Like I'm gonna make away.
Speaker 3: You feel me like, if you smart in today's time,
Speaker 3: or you creative in today's time, there's no reason you
Speaker 3: should be broke. Broke as a representation for me in
Speaker 3: this time, and it ain't always been. But it's a
Speaker 3: representation of, you know, a sort of like mental illness,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, because it's a representation your
Speaker 3: mind not working. You know what I'm saying, Like when

Speaker 3: Like the people that make that pilgrimage, I feel like
Speaker 3: they deserve to be there, and I want to be
Speaker 3: in the midst of their company, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: But I can promise you just like every one of
Speaker 3: the shows, like we just came from Toronto, we had
Speaker 3: two back to backs, sold out shows and people loved it.
Speaker 3: We could have did three back to back. The way

Speaker 3: accident if they'll pull up.
Speaker 8: Man, the guys is outside.
Speaker 7: Well, you're seeing in your audience, is it younger, older, middle, black? White?
Speaker 3: I'm beyond now now it's getting larger. So I'm seeing
Speaker 3: a diverse group, you know what I'm saying. I'm always
Speaker 3: surpriseding white people for me to side, but yeah, now
Speaker 3: I'm actually getting a lot more Caucasians, you know, I
Speaker 3: mean transparent people that be pulling up on me. But
Speaker 3: you know, of course my large audience, it's us, you
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. But I'm starting to see younger
Speaker 3: people as well, because I think what happened is a
Speaker 3: lot of the clips are going viral on like TikTok
Speaker 3: and things of that nature, so they tapping in and
Speaker 3: that the show, you know, High Level Conversations has really
Speaker 3: tooking the brand to another level. And it's funny because
Speaker 3: I always, you know, wanted the opportunity to showcase to
Speaker 3: the world my intellect right and for me, as you
Speaker 3: asked earlier, that's what High Level Conversations was an opportunity
Speaker 3: to do.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 3: It was like I don't like on Instagram, I curate
Speaker 3: my Instagram a certain way, right because I understanding what
Speaker 3: the algorithm works. But on High Level Conversations, you go
Speaker 3: get that work.
Speaker 9: We appreciate you, We're so proud of you, and much
Speaker 9: success team.
Speaker 8: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Before we get out of here, though, we got a
Speaker 1: pep talk with Knights and Keys.
Speaker 3: Now I think about it like this, You know, your
Speaker 3: current level has to be a lowest level. If you
Speaker 3: have the ability to imagine yourself in a greater position,
Speaker 3: then you have the ability to put yourself in a
Speaker 3: greater position.
Speaker 8: You know.
Speaker 3: Procrastination is the abortion clinic of ideas and genius, right.
Speaker 3: A lot of people are afraid of the pain of
Speaker 3: doing the work, so therefore they abort during that process.
Speaker 3: When you learn how to be alive, living man and woman,
Speaker 3: you know how to take thoughts out your mind and
Speaker 3: bring them in to reality. And there's no greater joy
Speaker 3: than having an idea and a vision and actually seeing
Speaker 3: it into fruition. So prove that you're alive, take them
Speaker 3: thoughts out your head and bring them into reality, and
Speaker 3: I'll see y'all at the highest level to it.
