That's what stereotyping can do. And 98 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 1: if you fall into the box a stereotyping, then guess 99 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: what you might not climb out. In fact, you might 100 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: not know how to climb out. See I've climbed out 101 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: the box. And every time I feel like that lead 102 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: it's coming is trying to slip back over my box, 103 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: I knock it off because I'm having none of it. 104 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: I'm not having my color, I'm not having my gender, 105 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,920 Speaker 1: I'm not having my age stopped me from being successful. 106 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: My name is Rashan mcdah. That's what you should be 107 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: working on, the importance of your name, developing the brand 108 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: of your name, because your name has no race, your 109 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: name has no gender, your name has no age. But 110 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,719 Speaker 1: what's happening is you believe that because of who you are, 111 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: well you, how you grew up, what they told you 112 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: you could be, is what you should be. That's what 113 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: stereo typing this about. I'm gonna tell you about meside myself. 114 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: Let's let's get personal about this. Let's lord died a 115 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: little bit. Can you can you hear me talking? Can 116 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: you hear me? Look me, look me in the camera? 117 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,280 Speaker 1: Can you hear on the radio? Leave the comments? When 118 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: I started talking about this, I'm a victim of racial branding. 119 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 1: Understand that when I say that means that somebody told 120 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: me this is who I was. I didn't get a 121 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: chance to vote on it. I didn't get a chance 122 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 1: to even comment on it. I was born a Negro, 123 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: I was raised a black man, and I became an 124 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: African American. I've changed my racial identity so many times 125 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 1: apps that the N double a CP can't keep up 126 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: with it. They still colored people. That's what you talk 127 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. When people can sit around 128 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: in the room and tell you this is who you are. 129 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: Nobody gave me the option to raise my hand. It's 130 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: the head. I want to be white. I want to 131 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: be white because can I be white? Can I just 132 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: be white? Because if I know if I'm white right now, 133 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: I can image my my average annual salary go up 134 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: ten thousand dollars. But nobody gives me the option because 135 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: they're stereotyped that I can't be white. So what does 136 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: that mean that if I can't be white? But you 137 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: can think why you can live a white lifestyle. You 138 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: can do things that economically tell you this is the 139 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,720 Speaker 1: positive direction you're supposed to take your life. Are you're 140 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 1: saying you said white it's right. No, I'm saying you 141 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: are right. Your name is right, your brand is right, 142 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: who you want to be is right. But because we're 143 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: stereotype and we put people in genders, we put people 144 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: in in racial stereotypes of people in certain ages. You're 145 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: pointing a room or corner over you can look at people. Oh, 146 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: don't go over there, that's them young people. Look at 147 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: their pants, look at the way they dressed. There's a 148 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: type of music they're listening to. Those are stereotypes. So 149 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: it's up to you to be able to break those stereotypes. 150 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 1: How do you break those stereotypes? While you up there 151 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: looking at the sun, need to be listening to Roshan McDonald. 152 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: Roshan McDonald. It's created money making conversations to stop you 153 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 1: from living in that box, that stereotype box that you 154 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: allow to lead clothes. I'm gonna tell you something. Six usters, 155 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: two brothers. That's right.

There's in every major city in America, 161 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: or they tell you if you go in there, don't 162 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 1: go in there too late at night. If you park 163 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: your car on the street, make sure you don't keep 164 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: it there overnight. It's that type of neighborhood. I can 165 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 1: say that now because when I drive in the neighborhood 166 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 1: now there have been some changes. But the house that 167 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: I grew up now has a giant fence around it, 168 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,959 Speaker 1: so I know they changed that much. They got a 169 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: giant fence around it. You can't even get to the 170 00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: door in the more. When I grew up, at least 171 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: you could walk through the door knock on it. You 172 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: can't even knock on the door anymore. I got a 173 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: giant chain link fence around big pit bullwh That's so 174 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: I know it hadn't changed. So what has was sewing? 175 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 1: That Donald got? Not that box? Ah? Is he gotten 176 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: not that box? Because guess what? Rashaan didn't want to 177 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,719 Speaker 1: be in the box. Oh, that's so easy to say. 178 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 1: That's so easy to tell you. That's so easy. Called 179 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: me now, I your person a three two two three 180 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,679 Speaker 1: zero five five not too If you don't believe, I'll 181 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: talk to your person. But see, but see, everybody wants 182 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: to make up a statement. Everybody wants to talk about 183 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: being successful, but nobody wants to put forth, effort and 184 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: put place a plan. So how do you overcome any 185 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: type of stereo type? What is? You do it by 186 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: setting goals you can reach. That's the number one thing 187 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: I hear people coming there. I want to be a millionaire. 188 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. I want to be successful. 189 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means because that's not really 190 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: a goal. That's a statement. That's a statement, and that's 191 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: what people start falling off the ship of success because 192 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 1: they'd be making statements they don't even make sense to 193 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: to the average person. So when you make a statement 194 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: without a goal, guess what, people just ignore you. I'm 195 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 1: gonna tell you a little story about myself when I 196 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: was working for this company, not gonna call a name. 197 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: When I came on board, I was one of the 198 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: top employer yeast. I was on the top employees. Came 199 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: on board with a couple of more people who who 200 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: are white, and came in and said, now, with my supervisor, 201 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 1: he said, what do you want to do with the company? 202 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:15,839 Speaker 1: Was sean? I said, I don't know, let me think 203 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: about it. He said, fine, but please come back and 204 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:21,439 Speaker 1: tell me what you want to do, because we need 205 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 1: to set your goals in place, so we can, you know, 206 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,760 Speaker 1: pre create structure so you can meet the goals that 207 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: you have for the company, because the company has goals 208 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: for you, but we can only move you along based 209 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: on the pacing that you feel comfortable with. That's a 210 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: great That sounded really good. So six months later I 211 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: still hadn't went back and talked to him, kind of 212 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: actually forgot the conversation I had with him. But the 213 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 1: two of the white guys, they were moving up the 214 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 1: food chain, they were moving past me. So my first 215 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: thought was, it's a racial discrimination going on here. So 216 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: I got to talk to my little buddies. I said, 217 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: I'm going there and tell him piece of my mind. Hi, 218 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 1: They're gonna move in front of me. And I know 219 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: I'm working just as hard or and I know I 220 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: come to work on time, and I know I'm just 221 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,199 Speaker 1: as smart. I came from a prestigious university. My degree 222 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: was in mathematics. I the honors opportunities while I was 223 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: in college that I made the Dean's list. But what 224 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: I didn't do was this. So I'll marched back in 225 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 1: that office and sat down my supervisor and I kind 226 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: of told him my mind. I said I appreciate the 227 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 1: other two guys moving so fast, and I'm still sitting 228 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: in my desk, he said, were sean? He pulled the 229 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 1: fire out, he said, when we said down, I asked 230 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: you what you wanted to do, and you told me 231 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna get back with me later. Well, guess what. 232 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: It's not my job to hunt you down and build 233 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: your dreams. It's not my job to tell you how 234 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: sex else where you can be because I don't know 235 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 1: how much work you're willing to put out. It's not 236 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: my job, yeah, to criticize you for not wanting to 237 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: be successful. So my next question to him was, so 238 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 1: what am I supposed to do? Tell me what you 239 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:24,119 Speaker 1: want to do? So I left the room different attitude 240 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: now because guess what, he put it back on me. 241 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 1: Where it's always gonna be on you. There's the problem 242 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: is that people don't understand that to be successful, it's 243 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: always on you. It's never on other people. If you 244 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 1: don't have a goal, if you don't set a goal 245 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: you can reach, if you don't if you don't have 246 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 1: standards that you can keep elevating, never allowing the stereotype 247 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: to define who you are or what you can become 248 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: at that moment. That's just a small slice of my 249 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: life I'm telling you all about, but it was a 250 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: defining moment because I repeat that story to anybody who 251 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: tells me, oh man, I can't be successful. Oh man, 252 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: ra Sean, you know you you've always had it going 253 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: on or with Sean, you know you're just a natural 254 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: at this Rachean, you're just a special talent. I'm all 255 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 1: those things. But I also know if you don't put 256 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 1: action in motion, then there's no results. If you don't 257 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: lock down an opportunity to be successful and talk to 258 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 1: people who can make you successful, then guess what you'd 259 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: be frustrating If you're picking up trash on the garbage truck. 260 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: Guess what, there's a driver. You don't have to pick 261 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 1: up the trash. You can drive the truck if that's 262 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: your goal. If you drive the truck, you can eventually 263 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: be telling other people and signing them to the truck 264 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 1: to go audience. If that's your goal, I know, because 265 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell I'll tell you about my stories.

When you're have an agenda of serving people, 320 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: you win. And that's what I teach. You win by giving, 321 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 1: and you win by serving others. Now, now we've been 322 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 1: knowing each other a long time, and just to explain 323 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: to people why it's significant the game of how significant 324 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: the game of chess plays in a business world from 325 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,159 Speaker 1: a strategic standpoint, and also how you use it to 326 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: change their minds and build them by as young people. 327 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: Chance is about having a game plan and recognizing patterns. 328 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,119 Speaker 1: Pattern recognition allow you to plan, prepare, position, and predict 329 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: so you can prevent pretty poor performance. So you can 330 00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: have a power, prestige and perspective on what's going on. 331 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 1: Allows you to be a profit because you see what's 332 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: coming next. So chess is about looking at patterns, studying 333 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: the patterns, and you're able to position yourself to win 334 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: because you know what's coming next. But the key to 335 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,919 Speaker 1: winning in chess is getting your head in the game now. 336 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: So so that basically chess is kind of like a 337 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 1: business model. Then exactly, it's a model. It's a model 338 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: for success because you know what's coming next. You know 339 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,919 Speaker 1: that you've got to plan, you know that you've got 340 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: to provide value, and you have to make moves that 341 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,960 Speaker 1: have a hidden agenda because if you don't, the competition 342 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,360 Speaker 1: will block you. And that's why I want people to understand, 343 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,320 Speaker 1: because see, there are so many ways. The reason I've 344 00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: created money making conversations create options for people. Or that's 345 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: the key to this show, and that's why you're on 346 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: the show. Because so many people think that they see 347 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 1: somebody being successful one way and they think that's the 348 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 1: platform they can follow. I'm just trying to bring common 349 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: sense to the to every game, you know, whether you're 350 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: playing checkers, where you're playing chess, or you're playing the 351 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: game of backta, it's all a competition and every everything, 352 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: everything has a mental part of it that you have 353 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: to be able to win at. And that's what chess 354 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 1: is all about, the mental parts. Not being physically stronger 355 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 1: singing or tap dancing or being able to pick up 356 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: a one thousand pounds, it's the mental part that you're 357 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: trying to educate people on. Correct It's nine mental. And 358 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: I like what you said about options, because checkmate means 359 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: you out of options. If you long as you have options, 360 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: you in the game. When you have no more options left, 361 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: that's game over, that's checkmate. So you gotta say you 362 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: gotta learn your options. That's why education is so important. 363 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: That's why I like your show. Your show is bringing 364 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 1: so much value to people and knowledge that gives people 365 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: options on how to make money and how to dream 366 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: and how to how to be a champion and never 367 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 1: give up stay in the game.

We had a million people are mailing list. 429 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: I was trying to ignore social media. In fact, I 430 00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: was ignoring social media because I felt there was a 431 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 1: lot of work. Even though I saw Twitter on all 432 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: the news anchors, I saw Twitter fees and facebooks on 433 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,480 Speaker 1: all the corporate pages, and everything. I was trying to 434 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: ignore it. So but what I really discovered is that, 435 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: like you said earlier, in Hollywood, in the media, with advertisers, 436 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 1: another likes, they deemed you just being topical. They deemed 437 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: you as being a person an influencer. And you said, 438 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: you come late to the game. But guess what, the 439 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 1: game ain't late for you because you understand the important 440 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: Because the first thing out your mouth was talking about 441 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: social media. Yeah, I mean, it's it's it's it's it's amazing, 442 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: and that you can just go out here and touch 443 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: and talk to everybody and they can touch it and 444 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,359 Speaker 1: you can put your point of view in which we 445 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: have a unique one. I said, we're the third eye, 446 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We made we made what's prelece. 447 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: So now you could talk to him and were revenent, 448 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: you know, and with anything you got, good or bad. 449 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: But it's it's working for me now. And that's why. Yeah, 450 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: because I got some more on the show today too, 451 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: And it's the same conversation I'm gonna have with her 452 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: about social media because we know it's a beast out there, 453 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 1: like Kevin Hard is a beast and social media and 454 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 1: then you have he's a beast. He's learned to go this. 455 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 1: This is the business side of Kevin Hard, and this 456 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: is the funniest side of Kevin Hard.

That's the business side, 461 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: and that's why I really started money making conversations and 462 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 1: guess what, I launched it on my Facebook page with 463 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 1: your social media, and that's important on the branding process. 464 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: And that's really important because I remember you you called 465 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: me Rashwan about somebody says something negative on your Facebook 466 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: page and you would get wanted to get that straight. 467 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,919 Speaker 1: So it's an important part of your brand correct earthquake.

I got me a little recorder 515 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 1: and I just started working my act in my dressing room. 516 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 1: I ain't gonna get nothing to eat because That's what 517 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 1: it's all about. Man. That stage that defines who you are. Man, 518 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: Is that true? Yes? It is. And what we call 519 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 1: it is the anchor. You know, it's the anchor. Especially 520 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 1: when you're dealing with our people. They don't give you. 521 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,800 Speaker 1: But so many times, remember like you said, they get 522 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 1: the rock two times, you know on that third rock 523 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,360 Speaker 1: that boo coming right behind. Absolutely absolutely in that chat 524 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 1: and they look around and they're like, man, I'm getting 525 00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: tired of this now. Now you you get a strong, 526 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: footholder radio. Do you want to get back a radio? Yeah? 527 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 1: I want. I want to get back into radio. My 528 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: goal live. I mean, if you are already I look 529 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: at you and no comparison other than this is like 530 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: the trump Father did put the pathway down there for 531 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 1: us to go you and see has showed how it is. 532 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: I can if anything is the same way, sit down here. 533 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: You know. WBLS was great for me. It didn't give 534 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: me the opportunity to be syndicated. I didn't go away 535 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: in New York to be in one radio. I want 536 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: it to do like y'all did. I wanted to be 537 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:07,600 Speaker 1: left the afternoon drive prepared, propelled myself with a TV 538 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: show expand my brand and do different things. And I 539 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,480 Speaker 1: talked to my consumers in the morning, pulled them to 540 00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,160 Speaker 1: come watch me in the east. But that's that's important 541 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: to hear. But that's important because I want to I 542 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,080 Speaker 1: want to hear that because of the fact that you know, 543 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: I'm always working, and you know, opportunities always coming my way, 544 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: and I am an earthquake fan. And I thought, and 545 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: I feel the things you did on radio were not 546 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,840 Speaker 1: only you know, you profound, I said, profound. You had 547 00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: something to say. See's a lot of people just funny, 548 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 1: but you also articulate social issues, which I thought was 549 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: really important because it comes out in your comedy anyway. Yes, yes, 550 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 1: And my favorite joke right now, Trump be lying to 551 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: us like we don't have Google. Hey, man, black people 552 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,960 Speaker 1: got Google now man. The thing a body is that 553 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: when you go political, when you go social, when you 554 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,600 Speaker 1: go financial. The whole thing in this whole world earthquake 555 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: is for me to let you know that, man, is 556 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: that this is a relationship phone call, but it's also 557 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 1: a call phone call to help other people understand how 558 00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: why you've been successful so long. The fire is not 559 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 1: that's not went away. And then there are other options 560 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: out there that are growing for you. That guess what 561 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: you're about to hear about you on a riset on 562 00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: a bigger level, because you are constantly building your brand. 563 00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 1: I mean you listen successors determined the bond your potential. 564 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: You know.

It's 607 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: all about watching your brand grow. Please tell everybody exactly 608 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 1: what you do. Yes, well, first of all, all blessings 609 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: to you Rashwan. First of all for the opportunity to 610 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 1: be on your phenomenal money making conversations. But more importantly, 611 00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 1: we go back to two thousand and seven. I mean, 612 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: I was this dermatologist that wanted to have this multimedia 613 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:21,560 Speaker 1: platform because I realized that we, as asked Americans couldn't 614 00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: get to a germatologist, and if we could, we didn't 615 00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:28,120 Speaker 1: have the money to completely pay for it. So it 616 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: was important for me to devise a multimedia platform as 617 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 1: a hair and skin expert in the medical field, to 618 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: be able to reach out two millions where they wouldn't 619 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: be able to reach out to me. You know it 620 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: takes someone actively rashwan as you know, to actually call 621 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: up a dermatologist office or even a regular doctor for 622 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: that matter. They have to be proactive to actually go 623 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 1: to that office. Well, what happens to those people that 624 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: aren't active? They're passive, but they're sitting their home, they're 625 00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: sitting at the beauty shops, they're sitting at the makeup counters, 626 00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: and they're frustrated over their hair and skin issues. And 627 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 1: so I figured, well, I was always at outbox, outside 628 00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,000 Speaker 1: the box thinker. Anyway, I really didn't even want to 629 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: be a drama tolenges. I wanted to be a hairstylid, 630 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: you know. But my mother said, quite frankly, no disrespect, 631 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: but we get medical degrees and dental degrees in our family. 632 00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:21,600 Speaker 1: So you just gonna be You're even gonna be a 633 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: pediatrician like me, or you're gonna be a dentist like 634 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: your dad. And I said, well, you know what, I'm 635 00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:28,320 Speaker 1: gonna be a hair doctor. And I made that decision 636 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:36,480 Speaker 1: when I was fourteens. Yes, yes, and that you know 637 00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,440 Speaker 1: because you have two brands, right, your bella neutral and 638 00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 1: you have bold neutral. Right, that's correct. Okay, explain to 639 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: everybody what each one is and how they can access 640 00:34:45,560 --> 00:34:49,759 Speaker 1: information on you. Yes, well, you know, traditionally in the 641 00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 1: in the in the beauty industry, people are usually used 642 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: to topical products. Well, topical products really cannot penetrate the 643 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: depth of the skin or the hair. So I knew 644 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 1: that because those structures were internal rashawn, they needed to 645 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,800 Speaker 1: give something internal. But we had not quite hit that 646 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: industry yet here in the US. Well, that's where I'm 647 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 1: a pioneer of supplements, where I started working with European 648 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,919 Speaker 1: based chemists and researchers to figure out what nutrients could 649 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: help us really improve our hair. And I scanned from 650 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: the internal. So I actually started with the product call 651 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: of Viviscal. It was totally over in Europe. I reached 652 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 1: out to them and asked them what were their plans? 653 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 1: They said, Hey, Dr macnill, we like what you're you're 654 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 1: saying to us. Can you help us brand this in 655 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,640 Speaker 1: the US? I said absolutely, I said, especially in our 656 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: African American community, and I made then reach millions and 657 00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 1: zillions you actually probably still see in commercials today. But 658 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 1: I advanced that formula to make it even better for 659 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: our Ascan American women and men. So Bela New Tree 660 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,239 Speaker 1: is my women's supplement supplement that I launched in two 661 00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,919 Speaker 1: thousand and seven and then out launched the men's bone 662 00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,400 Speaker 1: New Tree in two thousand and eight. So you know, 663 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 1: I look at these, I call them no disrespect. A 664 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,439 Speaker 1: lot of impostors in today's time, a lot of these. 665 00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: You know, there's been such a broad trend of hair 666 00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 1: and skin supplements out there. But I tell folks, you 667 00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: gotta be careful because this is even though they may 668 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 1: say natural, it's still something internal that a person is taking. 669 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,920 Speaker 1: So as a medical physician, is very important to me 670 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,840 Speaker 1: that when I'm producing products that they're gonna be safe 671 00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:25,840 Speaker 1: yet effective for for folks that are using them. So 672 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: it's it's really important. What you're saying is that, first 673 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,080 Speaker 1: of all, I met you in two thousand it was 674 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:34,239 Speaker 1: bella nice boat. What exactly because this is hair or 675 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 1: this face? What? What what products are? Because I know you, Yes, 676 00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: it's working on both. I help folks. You know my 677 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: um it's true beauty begins within is my slogan. I said. 678 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,720 Speaker 1: Outer beauty is a reflection of an interview. True beauty 679 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,800 Speaker 1: begins within. So what I mean by that is that 680 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: because your hair and skin are internal structures. A matter 681 00:36:56,280 --> 00:36:58,600 Speaker 1: of fact, your skin is the largest organ in your 682 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: entire body. So that's what Bella nutris tackling from the 683 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:05,560 Speaker 1: inside on helping women to get those follicles back, revived, 684 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:09,360 Speaker 1: stimulated so that they can help with these thin areas evolving, 685 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,200 Speaker 1: various areas of alopecia hair that's just shedding or breaking off, 686 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: and that you want to get smooth again. You want 687 00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 1: the pores to be smaller, you want to get rid 688 00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 1: of those fine lines and wrinkles. That is what Bella 689 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,080 Speaker 1: Nutria is doing from an internal aspect, and honestly, Rashawn, 690 00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,160 Speaker 1: it took years for people to understand that I was 691 00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:32,320 Speaker 1: out here fighting back in nine when I was around 692 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,600 Speaker 1: on every multimedia you can think of, trying to get 693 00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:38,279 Speaker 1: folks to understand. You know it, because you were right 694 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:41,560 Speaker 1: telling me, Hey, listen, I like what you're doing, but 695 00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 1: she I need your marketing plan. And it goes back 696 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: to what you were saying earlier. You asked my marketing plan. 697 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: I got it to you. You said, listen, I got 698 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 1: a plan for you be a WBLS. What was it 699 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:57,919 Speaker 1: June twenty three or something seven? I got there. Steve 700 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,319 Speaker 1: started reading my bio and I'm like, I for an 701 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: air ofview though reading my biout, that sounds like some 702 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: something funny is going on here.

It 707 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: might have been a thirty to forty five minutes. It 708 00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,319 Speaker 1: was a very long time, Steve. Steve said, listen, I'd 709 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,120 Speaker 1: like for you to be part of my team.

She blew the headline. Yeah, 821 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 1: it didn't even mean to do that time. My club 822 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:15,000 Speaker 1: was in Houston, flew from Atlanta, Georgia. She hit that 823 00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:18,839 Speaker 1: stage and messed everybody up. And that was the foundation 824 00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,320 Speaker 1: for you being a star, you know, because you just 825 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 1: had that natural gift to be great and you've just 826 00:44:25,760 --> 00:44:28,439 Speaker 1: carried it on. So here's here's the thing that people 827 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,480 Speaker 1: didn't know. Before I became a stand up comedian, I was. 828 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 1: I was a business owner. I owned my own business. 829 00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,640 Speaker 1: I own my own store. And then I used to 830 00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 1: be a a substitute algebra teacher. So days when I 831 00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: wasn't working at my store, I would be I would 832 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:48,120 Speaker 1: be in uh school, in the high schools teaching. And 833 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,880 Speaker 1: so before I became a comedian, I actually read a 834 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:55,080 Speaker 1: book and I still tell people refer people to this 835 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 1: book today. It's called how to Be a Stand Up Comedian. 836 00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,920 Speaker 1: I read the entire your book. I did exactly what 837 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,840 Speaker 1: the book said to do. I picked the persona that 838 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 1: I wanted to go on stage to have um even 839 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,640 Speaker 1: from my name, my name, my real name is Laurie. 840 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:12,600 Speaker 1: I couldn't go up there and talk to jump that 841 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 1: I was talking as Lori. So so I'm like, people 842 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 1: ain't gonna buy that Laurie is this superhero. So I 843 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:22,600 Speaker 1: picked the name, and I said, if you give somebody 844 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 1: something good with what they want, they would want some more. Okay, 845 00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 1: I'm going with some more and that's and that's how 846 00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,200 Speaker 1: it happened. And I did exactly what the book said 847 00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,760 Speaker 1: to do. I wrote my material, I stuck to my persona, 848 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,560 Speaker 1: I worked on my delivery and it worked. It was 849 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 1: a business I approached it from a business perspective. Because 850 00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 1: your degrees in mathematics correct, right, My degree is in 851 00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 1: business administration of minor and mathematics. Because my degree is 852 00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,600 Speaker 1: in mathematics. And the reason I bring that up because 853 00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,560 Speaker 1: it is a certain analytical behavior that you have. You 854 00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:56,839 Speaker 1: know too, plus two is always four and so if 855 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,399 Speaker 1: you and that means you're a planner, and that really 856 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,440 Speaker 1: I'm tasting. This is the first time I've heard your stories. 857 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,800 Speaker 1: Many times we've talked, and it's now we share the stage. 858 00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,719 Speaker 1: That explains to me how your pattern of success, how 859 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,839 Speaker 1: you've always been a forward moving person. And I plan 860 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,520 Speaker 1: everything I write. I write notes every night before I 861 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 1: go to bed my day what I'm gonna do the 862 00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 1: next day. I have to plan. I am. I am 863 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:22,520 Speaker 1: a planner. I have to. I have to. I believe 864 00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 1: in structure, right, and I really do. And then with that, 865 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,319 Speaker 1: with that, with that structure, so so because you've done 866 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:31,360 Speaker 1: certain things, I think that's been really important. You know, 867 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,960 Speaker 1: you your headline tours and then some tools you her host. 868 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:39,440 Speaker 1: Is there a strategy and the hosting versus the headlining? 869 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,160 Speaker 1: Here yeah, okay, here here's the thing. First of all, 870 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:47,319 Speaker 1: I love stand up stand up. It stole my heart, 871 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,279 Speaker 1: like I loved it, and I loved it from the 872 00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,000 Speaker 1: time the first time I've ever seen Joan Rivers, I 873 00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:56,239 Speaker 1: swear to you like I was just in awe in 874 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 1: alle of the of the whole world of stand up. 875 00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 1: Like I said, I studied it, and for me, it's 876 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 1: about the show, about it being a good show. It's 877 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:10,399 Speaker 1: never about just me as a performer. I want people 878 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,360 Speaker 1: to say, oh, that was a great show. So I 879 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 1: always am concerned about my positioning on the show. You know, 880 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 1: one thing that people never understood with deaf Comedy Jam 881 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 1: when they would see people have bad sets on death 882 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,840 Speaker 1: Comedy Jam, and they never realized that sometime it was 883 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,880 Speaker 1: the positioning, the way people position you, or what you 884 00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,799 Speaker 1: didn't know is that the audience stood outside for two 885 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 1: hours to get in. It was cold, it was raining, 886 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 1: but they're in a bad mood already, you know, would 887 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: stand up. There's so many elements that go into your 888 00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,840 Speaker 1: performance being successful. It really really really it's like, you know, 889 00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 1: just you know the thing that you're right on the 890 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,719 Speaker 1: money when you're talking about attitude, talking about positioning, and 891 00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:57,800 Speaker 1: about taking advantage of things that have presented to you. 892 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,239 Speaker 1: For instance, here namy too, I'm on this this young lady. 893 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,800 Speaker 1: You know, I would had had to be forced to 894 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,840 Speaker 1: be on my comedy close stage because because we I 895 00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: didn't want to take the time to put on stage, 896 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,040 Speaker 1: because what I didn't think I had time. I ain't 897 00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:13,719 Speaker 1: never heard of some more like you just told you 898 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:16,480 Speaker 1: just made the name up, you know, And so she 899 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,399 Speaker 1: blowed my stage away, and then what two years later, 900 00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:22,359 Speaker 1: he was the first female host of bt S Comic 901 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 1: View exactly Wow, which was strategic in what I wanted 902 00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,719 Speaker 1: to do. Like I really made a lot of lot 903 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:33,040 Speaker 1: of strategic moves, even down to you know, like I 904 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,600 Speaker 1: still twenty five years in the business.

I can. 907 00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,759 Speaker 1: I care about the quality of the show. I care 908 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,120 Speaker 1: about the quality of the show. Like I know the 909 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,799 Speaker 1: theme of this presentation that I am going to give 910 00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:53,360 Speaker 1: you all some kind of way, all of these jokes 911 00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,800 Speaker 1: will mesh with the overall theme of the show, like 912 00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,160 Speaker 1: I'm that deep with it when it comes to doing 913 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 1: stand up. But but that's where a lot of people 914 00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 1: miss is that they don't take the business side of life. 915 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,920 Speaker 1: And my whole, my whole thing I tell people when 916 00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 1: they listen to the show and watch the show on 917 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 1: Facebook is that your story can be applied in so 918 00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,879 Speaker 1: many different layers of life.

You know, 928 00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,000 Speaker 1: you had, you had a structure, so when you get 929 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 1: in there, we already know the game plan. Like I 930 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,719 Speaker 1: am just a planning person. I have to have structure 931 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,279 Speaker 1: to know what it actually what what what is I'm 932 00:49:51,320 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 1: going into and if it doesn't work for me, if 933 00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,840 Speaker 1: it doesn't, if it won't, if I don't like to 934 00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,759 Speaker 1: be put in situations where I don't, I'm not at 935 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:03,640 Speaker 1: my best light. And I tell people, if anything you do, 936 00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:06,880 Speaker 1: you have to approach it as a business and you 937 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 1: have to know your strengths and your weaknesses and always 938 00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,120 Speaker 1: be in your best light. And that's really important. So 939 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 1: so when I ask you this question about because I'm 940 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 1: starting to see you more and more, you know, on 941 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 1: social media. You know, I'm talking with the Facebook lide feeds, 942 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,360 Speaker 1: So so why why, why why are you doing that? 943 00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:26,360 Speaker 1: And just just to teach the questions because I just 944 00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: want to educate. I don't. First of all, I'm so 945 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:34,839 Speaker 1: afraid of social media. It's so scary to me. It's 946 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 1: so scary to me. And here's why it's scary to me, 947 00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 1: because you're you're open up and your your being vulnerable 948 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,600 Speaker 1: to people who, first of all, may not know your 949 00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:47,000 Speaker 1: whole story. They don't they don't care about your whole story, 950 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,200 Speaker 1: and they can be evil when they can be mean, 951 00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,479 Speaker 1: you know, So you when when you when you dibble 952 00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,640 Speaker 1: and dabble in that particular arena you gotta you gotta 953 00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,560 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta be careful because you could come 954 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,480 Speaker 1: on there and they'd be like your nose right right right, right, 955 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,880 Speaker 1: right right right, because because now is that the reason 956 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:10,480 Speaker 1: you were shades? No? No, the reason I love fun glasses? Okay, 957 00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,320 Speaker 1: I want to know, because you know, every time I 958 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,440 Speaker 1: think you have those shades, are you'll be looking at 959 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,000 Speaker 1: I wear sunglasses. Let me tell you my own it 960 00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:24,200 Speaker 1: is not complete. I start with the sunglass. Okay, but 961 00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:26,719 Speaker 1: I'm just saying like people will say anything like like 962 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:29,560 Speaker 1: you look, I'm just not I'm just not cut from 963 00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,840 Speaker 1: that cloth where I'm just to having to, you know, 964 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:38,919 Speaker 1: deal with people randomly, people's opinion all the time. So yeah, 965 00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:40,839 Speaker 1: and I can understand. I can relate to that because 966 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 1: that's a big part of social media, having to deal 967 00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 1: with opinions, having to deal with people making comments about you. 968 00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,360 Speaker 1: But they tell you that that's the that's the forward 969 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:51,480 Speaker 1: motion because if you don't participate, then you're not considered topical, 970 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,680 Speaker 1: you're not consider the influencers. So if it forces you 971 00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,440 Speaker 1: in that lane, that that guess what determines whether or 972 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 1: not you successful in certain opportunities didn't come your way. 973 00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,480 Speaker 1: So what do you think here? Here's the thing. Also, like, 974 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 1: I don't worry about being relevant because most people that 975 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:15,800 Speaker 1: are relevant have a sex tape out. In order to 976 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 1: be relevant, you just got to do so many things 977 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 1: to be relevant. But what I work on and I 978 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,600 Speaker 1: do challenge people to do, is to be loyal to 979 00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:26,400 Speaker 1: my brand or to be if you if you're interested 980 00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,640 Speaker 1: in equality stand up, then this is where you can 981 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,760 Speaker 1: come to get it. But what what happened, what we're happened, 982 00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,279 Speaker 1: what's happening now is that I think the art of 983 00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 1: stand up is being convoluted with so many different different 984 00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:43,120 Speaker 1: styles and different you know, we're dealing with silly a 985 00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 1: lot too, and they give to engagement. You know, It's 986 00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:50,839 Speaker 1: one thing for somebody to be silly sitting in a car, 987 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 1: or silly for two minute two seconds you're seeing them 988 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:58,160 Speaker 1: on Facebook, then to be silly to be honest doing 989 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,200 Speaker 1: stand up on stage.

You saw a vision. 1043 00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,120 Speaker 1: But but how do you trust that vision? Darren? How 1044 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:05,600 Speaker 1: do you trust it? Well, it takes submitted to trust vision. 1045 00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,680 Speaker 1: And it depends on how you grow up. I think 1046 00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:10,840 Speaker 1: the way I grew up, And I'm gonna tell you 1047 00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,160 Speaker 1: my background wasn't the prettiest background in the world. If 1048 00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,480 Speaker 1: five brothers, I have five, it's five of us four siblings. 1049 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,239 Speaker 1: And we didn't grow up in the household that had money. 1050 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:25,000 Speaker 1: That's like must black folks. We went to regular public schools. 1051 00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,120 Speaker 1: I remember being in the desegregation program that I hated. 1052 00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:33,000 Speaker 1: That I hated, and thank God for a father who said, 1053 00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:34,239 Speaker 1: you know what is he don't want to be in there? 1054 00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:36,480 Speaker 1: Desegregation program. Don't let him be in there. Let him 1055 00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:38,560 Speaker 1: go somewhere he's happy. He'll do well with his own 1056 00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 1: And that's what I did. And as an entrepreneur, what 1057 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:46,759 Speaker 1: we had to learn is I had to learn that 1058 00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:49,759 Speaker 1: if you want to succeed, first of all, you have 1059 00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:53,759 Speaker 1: to believe in you. And my father would continuously tell us, 1060 00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,520 Speaker 1: he said, I don't care who the president is. And 1061 00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:00,040 Speaker 1: that's no shot on Trump. Okay, well it is a 1062 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:04,279 Speaker 1: shot on front. But he said, I don't care who 1063 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:06,880 Speaker 1: the president is. She said. Let me tell you guys something. 1064 00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,719 Speaker 1: He said, when it comes to my kids, all that 1065 00:57:09,840 --> 00:57:11,560 Speaker 1: food up in that grocery store, and you think my 1066 00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,560 Speaker 1: kids ain't gonna eat, not only they're gonna eat, but 1067 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 1: they're gonna eat good. That right there alone is how 1068 00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,280 Speaker 1: he made us think. He made us think it didn't 1069 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,720 Speaker 1: matter who or what kind of situation we were in. 1070 00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:26,000 Speaker 1: He said, if you depend on yourself, you can always 1071 00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,960 Speaker 1: take care of yourself. Now now, okay, now, so so 1072 00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,360 Speaker 1: you had this vision because I'm gonna keep pressing this 1073 00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,080 Speaker 1: because cee Cee, you you know you ain't you're even 1074 00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,640 Speaker 1: making you're selling bibe q.

You know, 1077 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:44,240 Speaker 1: these are standard things and I'm not saying nothing wrong 1078 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,840 Speaker 1: with them.

See, this is things people can 1081 00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 1: wrap their head around if you did a business like that. 1082 00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:01,720 Speaker 1: But you go, you know something, I'm a open helpmet 1083 00:58:02,800 --> 00:58:10,880 Speaker 1: and motorcycle shop.

A lot of people think entrepreneur 1086 00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:25,120 Speaker 1: means that you just opened a business. See, entrepreneur has 1087 00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,120 Speaker 1: to be a visionary in the first place. We have 1088 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:31,960 Speaker 1: to see opportunity when you see something. See, we were 1089 00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:33,800 Speaker 1: told something when we grow up. We said, oh, you 1090 00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:35,360 Speaker 1: could be anything you want to be. He could be 1091 00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,640 Speaker 1: an astronaut, you could be a fireman. And I think 1092 00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,560 Speaker 1: about something they told my younger son. He's seven years 1093 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 1: old and he went to school last year and they 1094 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,720 Speaker 1: told him, oh, you're a scooter salesman. Now his dad 1095 00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,320 Speaker 1: owns the scooter shop at that time, Oh, you're a 1096 00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 1: scooter salesman. He said no, he said, I am the 1097 00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,600 Speaker 1: scooter man. But he's in the first glade and they 1098 00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:57,760 Speaker 1: constantly tell him, so, you're a scooter salesman. They put 1099 00:58:57,800 --> 00:58:59,840 Speaker 1: a tag on this ship said he was a scooter 1100 00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,600 Speaker 1: up and he came home sad because he said, I 1101 00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 1: tried to tell them. I tried to tell them that 1102 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,520 Speaker 1: I owned the school shot. The thing is, I teach 1103 00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,760 Speaker 1: my son just like my father taught me, that really 1104 00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:16,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter what you do. So when people say, oh, 1105 00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be a fireman, be an architect, I'm gonna 1106 00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,480 Speaker 1: be some police chief, the truth of the matter is 1107 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 1: all of those things are just things that when they 1108 00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 1: come for career day at school, they tell you what 1109 00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,760 Speaker 1: you should be. See, they never walk into public schools 1110 00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:32,000 Speaker 1: and tell you that you can own the fire truck 1111 00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:35,600 Speaker 1: or own the company that manufactures the fire trucks. And 1112 00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,320 Speaker 1: that's how I was a visionary because my father told me, 1113 00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 1: he said, well, if that man can do it, how 1114 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,160 Speaker 1: come you can't do it. Anything that someone else can 1115 00:59:43,200 --> 00:59:45,640 Speaker 1: do that you can definitely do. And the thing is, 1116 00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:47,640 Speaker 1: it's not about me being a visionary it's not even 1117 00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:49,840 Speaker 1: about that little the twenty nine year old, the thirty 1118 00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,560 Speaker 1: year old being a visionary McDonald. It's about what we're 1119 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:56,120 Speaker 1: gonna teach our children, so our generations that come after us, 1120 00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:59,560 Speaker 1: those are the visionaries. Visionaries are made in children, not 1121 00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:02,120 Speaker 1: in the those And that's what I learned. And that's 1122 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,600 Speaker 1: why my son could talk about finances right now. He 1123 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:07,600 Speaker 1: knows more about finances and most college people with people 1124 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:11,080 Speaker 1: with college degree because you because you're laying the framework 1125 01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 1: and making it normal for his life. Because that's when 1126 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,920 Speaker 1: my whole show, that's how I started off the show, Darren, 1127 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:19,320 Speaker 1: was about stereotypes, how people allow themselves to be boxed 1128 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,520 Speaker 1: in and whose people have said the opportunity. Like I 1129 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,560 Speaker 1: say this, I said, you know, in my lifetime, I've 1130 01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,600 Speaker 1: been I've been a Negro, I've been a black, and 1131 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:30,080 Speaker 1: I've been in African American. No that way, nobody told 1132 01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:32,480 Speaker 1: me gave me an option that I could have raised 1133 01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:34,960 Speaker 1: my handset. How about white? Is that available? Is the available? 1134 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,360 Speaker 1: Nobody gave me that option because but they told you 1135 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:40,920 Speaker 1: what you are. And sometimes when people tell you what 1136 01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:44,080 Speaker 1: you are, if you allow that to be the dominant angle, 1137 01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:47,000 Speaker 1: then that's what you will be. And so your son, 1138 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:51,080 Speaker 1: your son said, look, I'm the owner. I'm the owner. 1139 01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,800 Speaker 1: Why at y'all listening to me? I'm not the salesperson. 1140 01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:58,240 Speaker 1: I'm the owner. And that's a mentality that's great for 1141 01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,280 Speaker 1: him to say, because guess what other people around him. 1142 01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,360 Speaker 1: I remember, I'm gonna telling this story right quick there 1143 01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,480 Speaker 1: in my lifetime. You know, I don't drink or smoke. 1144 01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:11,800 Speaker 1: And believe me, my friends in college smoke, We crack 1145 01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:16,560 Speaker 1: god drawn all that stuff, cigarettes, everything, you know. But 1146 01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:19,440 Speaker 1: I always felt and the people ask me that. My 1147 01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:20,960 Speaker 1: wife asked me to why I didn't drink because I 1148 01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,520 Speaker 1: felt if I if I if I, if I did it, 1149 01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,480 Speaker 1: did I think I would have. I would have change 1150 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:30,040 Speaker 1: the circumstances of everything around us because I held strong 1151 01:01:30,640 --> 01:01:32,960 Speaker 1: about what I believe was the right thing to do. 1152 01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:37,440 Speaker 1: Now they own insurance firms, they bank presidents, these same people, 1153 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,440 Speaker 1: and I believe that if you hold strong to what 1154 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:43,480 Speaker 1: you are, then other people will turn in that direction 1155 01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:45,960 Speaker 1: of positivity. And that's all I'm here for you, Darren, 1156 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,880 Speaker 1: That's all I'm hearing from you, brother, because you know 1157 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:52,680 Speaker 1: what McDonald, that's what it's about.

My wife always tells me 1202 01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,440 Speaker 1: the story how she had to sleep on the floor 1203 01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,560 Speaker 1: for a couple of years because she didn't have enough 1204 01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:15,240 Speaker 1: money for a bid when she was at Michigan State 1205 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:20,440 Speaker 1: University off campus department.

So 1208 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,960 Speaker 1: when we got together, we had to look at each 1209 01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,200 Speaker 1: other and motivate each other, and we had to tell 1210 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,640 Speaker 1: each other what it is.

She used her sciences 1218 01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,040 Speaker 1: to read that she took from Michigan State University and 1219 01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:57,080 Speaker 1: she turned it around.

But 1293 01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,679 Speaker 1: at the same time, the music, we have the music 1294 01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:16,000 Speaker 1: there to kind of help drive the conversation as well, 1295 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:18,120 Speaker 1: and that you know, kind of keeps things flowing. So 1296 01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,080 Speaker 1: we call the Lifestyle Radio and it's called Radio from 1297 01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,000 Speaker 1: a Woman's Perspective, and that's what it is. We're in 1298 01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:26,080 Speaker 1: about thirty five markets around the country now and doing 1299 01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:29,200 Speaker 1: really well. Thank you for your support because you were 1300 01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:32,639 Speaker 1: there from the beginning. I'm gonna tell you. So, first 1301 01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:35,000 Speaker 1: of all, you one of these people, your pioneer. Let's 1302 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:36,639 Speaker 1: go and get that out the work. Oh my gosh, 1303 01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,640 Speaker 1: don't get that that way because because you said, you 1304 01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:43,479 Speaker 1: said a little bit, this is the male dominated business, 1305 01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:48,400 Speaker 1: you know. And then to launch a syndicated platform and 1306 01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:52,280 Speaker 1: with longevity and a sense of purpose, that takes all work, 1307 01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,280 Speaker 1: because you know, you got the executive reducer hat on, 1308 01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,200 Speaker 1: you got the salesman hat on, you got the producer 1309 01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,760 Speaker 1: hat on, and like you said, you know you lost 1310 01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:03,080 Speaker 1: a ari exceptional talent like m C Light and you 1311 01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:06,479 Speaker 1: kept moving forward with the same quality level and picked 1312 01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:09,760 Speaker 1: up more stations. So expect I created money to make 1313 01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:12,960 Speaker 1: conversations so people can hear that story, because you are 1314 01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,639 Speaker 1: a story. And then, like I said in your pioneer, 1315 01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:18,880 Speaker 1: so when you hear these things, you know told back 1316 01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,960 Speaker 1: to you. What you tell people? Why? Why? What keeps 1317 01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:25,599 Speaker 1: driving Sheila? What keeps driving you? I think what drives 1318 01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:31,000 Speaker 1: me is that knowing that tomorrow could be the big Dad, 1319 01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:34,040 Speaker 1: the day that we get that big break every day 1320 01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:38,280 Speaker 1: gives you the opportunity to get a big break and 1321 01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:42,400 Speaker 1: to take what is a vision and and mold it 1322 01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:46,400 Speaker 1: into something and see it manifest. When you in corporate America, 1323 01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,200 Speaker 1: you know, whether you do or don't, you know it's 1324 01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:51,880 Speaker 1: gonna still move on. But when you work for yourself 1325 01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:56,040 Speaker 1: as an entrepreneur, you know, if that is such a 1326 01:10:56,240 --> 01:11:00,040 Speaker 1: driving to know that tomorrow could be that day and 1327 01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:03,040 Speaker 1: they say no, you know tomorrow is not given well, 1328 01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,800 Speaker 1: and so that kind of drives you to make the 1329 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:09,799 Speaker 1: day that you're in, the day that you keep moving forward. 1330 01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,360 Speaker 1: Um also, you know, but there are some elements that 1331 01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:16,920 Speaker 1: you have to be mindful of. One is, if you're 1332 01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:19,280 Speaker 1: in a business, you got to know the business that 1333 01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:22,400 Speaker 1: you're in. You also got to know the business. You 1334 01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:26,120 Speaker 1: got to know finances. So always tell people as entrepreneurs, 1335 01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:29,880 Speaker 1: take a class because many times we don't know just 1336 01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:34,320 Speaker 1: the basics of how to manage our income and how 1337 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:36,840 Speaker 1: to manage the business because they're gonna be those lean 1338 01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:38,680 Speaker 1: times and you have to know how to do that. 1339 01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:41,160 Speaker 1: So if you take a class on accounting and just 1340 01:11:41,400 --> 01:11:45,120 Speaker 1: understanding your business, then when you have to always have 1341 01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:48,200 Speaker 1: a good accountant, You always have to have a great 1342 01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:50,800 Speaker 1: c p. A. You gotta have a good lawyer. Those 1343 01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:53,280 Speaker 1: are three partners that you have to have. And then 1344 01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:56,759 Speaker 1: there's one other partners that whether you like that partner 1345 01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:59,840 Speaker 1: or not, it's gonna always be there and you got 1346 01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:02,439 Speaker 1: to give it its respect. But you also have to 1347 01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,960 Speaker 1: strategize on how to work around and make sure that 1348 01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:09,360 Speaker 1: it works for you. And that's the government. That's taxes. 1349 01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,679 Speaker 1: The biggest thing with most small businesses that we don't 1350 01:12:12,840 --> 01:12:16,600 Speaker 1: know how to manage and strategize our taxes, so we 1351 01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:19,960 Speaker 1: get caught. And you can't be in business and not 1352 01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:23,479 Speaker 1: have your taxes paid and not have you know, a 1353 01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:27,280 Speaker 1: good rating on your business. So there some of the elements. 1354 01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:29,200 Speaker 1: And I've been in business now, I hate to say, 1355 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:32,040 Speaker 1: well said, but it's a little bit a long time. 1356 01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:36,880 Speaker 1: It's been about thirty years, right right, But that's why 1357 01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:39,200 Speaker 1: I have you on the show because the thing about 1358 01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:42,680 Speaker 1: is that every every decade the tax structure changes and 1359 01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:45,639 Speaker 1: the rules changed. You know. I just saw a story 1360 01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:47,800 Speaker 1: I remember in the you know, in the naties, I 1361 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:52,280 Speaker 1: promoted concerts, but now you know the ticketmaster rates high, 1362 01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:55,120 Speaker 1: and then the ad rates on radio guns are high. 1363 01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,519 Speaker 1: The profitability left. It's like, you know, so so that 1364 01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:00,880 Speaker 1: meant that when you said that, laugh, because I remember 1365 01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:02,880 Speaker 1: when I opened my communy club hip hop commedy stop 1366 01:13:03,040 --> 01:13:06,280 Speaker 1: in Houston. Our tickets with ten dollars. I didn't know 1367 01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:08,679 Speaker 1: you had to pay taxes or every ticket you sold. 1368 01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,360 Speaker 1: So nay days later, you know, tax man came to 1369 01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:15,000 Speaker 1: me a said, young man, you owe some money. I 1370 01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:17,960 Speaker 1: said for what? He said on every ticket, you say 1371 01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:22,040 Speaker 1: you aways eight percent? I go what? And he presented 1372 01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:23,639 Speaker 1: me with a bill. If I didn't pay that bill, 1373 01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:26,120 Speaker 1: then he was going to close down my club. So 1374 01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,120 Speaker 1: that's what a good accounting. The CPA that you were 1375 01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:33,120 Speaker 1: talking about are important, and without a doubt, I mean 1376 01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,720 Speaker 1: you have to. I mean that's just the that's the 1377 01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:39,080 Speaker 1: key to longevity and being in business and and it's 1378 01:13:39,120 --> 01:13:41,519 Speaker 1: also the key to being able to raise money. You know, 1379 01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:43,880 Speaker 1: we are the people we have a very difficult time 1380 01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:47,320 Speaker 1: raising money. Other cultures they got family, they got friends 1381 01:13:47,840 --> 01:13:50,880 Speaker 1: that would help invest in them. Shoot, when you start 1382 01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:54,800 Speaker 1: a business, nobody wants to invest in because you're the 1383 01:13:54,880 --> 01:13:58,080 Speaker 1: only one that sees your vision. And so you have 1384 01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:01,000 Speaker 1: to be able to sustain to get to where you 1385 01:14:01,080 --> 01:14:03,439 Speaker 1: can start raising money.

And since you're 1420 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:49,679 Speaker 1: trying to help people and you can't help enough people. 1421 01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,759 Speaker 1: And I always tell people that I'm an American citizen. 1422 01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:56,080 Speaker 1: I paid my taxes, and I guess what I want 1423 01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:57,920 Speaker 1: other people pay their taxes. But all the time, they 1424 01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:00,320 Speaker 1: can pay their taxes if you help them and position 1425 01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,680 Speaker 1: to be able to be a taxpayer. And that's what 1426 01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:07,439 Speaker 1: Cafe Moka is all about. That radio, that format is 1427 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,440 Speaker 1: radio for all women to be able to be successful, 1428 01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:13,559 Speaker 1: to learn the value of the next step opportunity, isn't 1429 01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,519 Speaker 1: that really true? No, no question, no question, because you know, 1430 01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:20,679 Speaker 1: something so small to us because we're in it could 1431 01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:24,479 Speaker 1: be so big to someone that's right on the edge 1432 01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:28,080 Speaker 1: or someone that just needs a hand. Going into these shelters, 1433 01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:31,240 Speaker 1: we're finding out that their women all they need is 1434 01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:35,040 Speaker 1: just a hand, you know, just a little the clothes 1435 01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,599 Speaker 1: they need, just you know, for the kids. And they're 1436 01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:41,280 Speaker 1: very concerned about their kids. So things that are you know, 1437 01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:43,439 Speaker 1: for us that have been in the industry and in 1438 01:16:43,520 --> 01:16:46,599 Speaker 1: the music industry and everything, uh, we take for granted. 1439 01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,679 Speaker 1: You know, you see how the small things in life 1440 01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,840 Speaker 1: are the most valuable things in life.
