Yeah. Absolutely black. 111 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: This is a show that was very necessary. Um uh. 112 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: It catapulted this movement which is going on right now 113 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: with a lot of black actors actresses on television right now, 114 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 1: where there wasn't a lot of black shows on the 115 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: air at the time. And then when when Black Is 116 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 1: came out and people see how well it did, I 117 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: think it like help catapult other networks to be like, man, 118 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: we need a black show. But the difference the shows now, 119 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: you know, it's not it's no longer like just a 120 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: black face on a show or black faces to make 121 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: up a black show. What we did was we became 122 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: a black voice, which is way more important. And so 123 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 1: as we became that open doors for other black voices. 124 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: Shows that had black voices that spoke to how we 125 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 1: feel in America and what we're going through whatever, and 126 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: it was very and it was like we didn't know 127 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: the magnitude what was gonna go on. We just we 128 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: had something special, but we didn't know the magnitude. And 129 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: when when it resonated with the people, we were so 130 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: excited to uphold the torch and keep going with it. 131 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: You know, Black It is very important show, uh, to 132 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: this day. I think it's relevant to all races to 133 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: be a blueprint to what's going on right now. So 134 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: being a part of that movement as and life change 135 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 1: in um and always would be indebted to you know, 136 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: Kenya Barris, Anthony Anderson as well.

I'm gonna go back and talk to them 172 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: and see if we can revamp this. And the way 173 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: that they wanted it wasn't the way that I wanted it, 174 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: and so I just kind of just chilled. So as 175 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,439 Speaker 1: I was chilling from Matt and Conan, Steve Carrell shout 176 00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: out to Steve Carrell. Him and his wife Nancy Carrel 177 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,679 Speaker 1: had a show coming on TBS and that they were 178 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: about to do and they wanted me to come audition 179 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 1: for an audition for it, and the part that I 180 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: auditioned for they didn't want me to get, and so 181 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: they didn't have a part from me. So they literally 182 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: wrote me into the show because they want to be 183 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: a part of it. One thing about my career, anything 184 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 1: I ever auditioned for, I never got nothing, nothing at all, 185 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: anything that you blackish Conan Conan hired me just out 186 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,439 Speaker 1: of the clear blue, like Thot got off stage. He 187 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: hired me Blackish. I was a woman by the name 188 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:17,680 Speaker 1: of Tima. Goins told Kenya innovative artist. Yeah, Tama my girl. 189 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: She told Kenya Kenya was looking for a writer. So Kenya, hey, 190 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: we should you should try to get Dion Cole And 191 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: I went over there to interview with Kenyan to be 192 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: a writer. And the person I was supposed to show 193 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 1: up to play the character that I played, Charlie, didn't 194 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: show up, and so he asked me to play that character. 195 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 1: Anything I ever got, I never auditioned for because the 196 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,959 Speaker 1: things that people look at when they're like writing stuff 197 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: and putting stuff together, they look at a certain type. 198 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: If you're a different kind of person, they can't they can't. 199 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 1: They can't think of you and put you in there. 200 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: It's something that they didn't think of. So therefore, why 201 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 1: would they choose you for their product project? You get 202 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, because you don't fit what they thought 203 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: definitely your voice, you know, exactly exactly. So So if 204 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: if I'm I'm never gonna be what anybody intends for 205 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: me to be, then they're not gonna pick me. But 206 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: some people are going to be smart enough to go 207 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: you know what, I've never seen the likes of such 208 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: of this person. I'm gonna take a chance on them. 209 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: Because this person is talented, unique and those that have 210 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: done that, we have done magic together, which is like 211 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: Conan and the Correllic and your Barriss, like you can 212 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: find them, Yo, I want this. I mean, it's it's 213 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: the way people the way people like cast people and 214 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: stuff like that. I think they just it's kind of 215 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: like shopping in a sense. You might you have a 216 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: brown suit and you're looking for some brown shoes. That's 217 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: you're in the mall looking for some brown shoes and 218 00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: you can't find them. But you see these green shoes 219 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 1: that amazing, but they don't go with your brown suit. 220 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,800 Speaker 1: But you see them and you're like, wow, you're gonna 221 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: go Still, you still gonna go get them brown shoes 222 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: with some green shoes gonna be on your mind. You 223 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: might even come back and get them green shoes and 224 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: then get an outfit to go with the green shoes. 225 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 1: That don't mean them green shoes ain't amazing, they just 226 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 1: didn't go with that outfit. And so that's how that's 227 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: that's how I always look at how I am when 228 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,439 Speaker 1: they're coming a bit come to the business, and how 229 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: I've always been like shows and to do things like 230 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: and that's how a lot of people should look at it. 231 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: Don't ever look at it like you're not worthy enough. 232 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: You just didn't go at that outfit. But they're gonna 233 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: come back for you if they if they want you, 234 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: they're gonna come back for you.

We 326 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 1: walked down a runway, it looked like a fashion model. 327 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: But we can be successful if we have a plan 328 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: for success, which is the basis of money making conversation, 329 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: Because you're successful, can we go back a little bit 330 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: before you got into the magazine business, give it a 331 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 1: little more, Give me a little history of of you 332 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 1: prior to your start. How did you how because you're motivated, 333 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: you're innovating your mentor you got foundations. How did all 334 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: this stought? Well, you know, I've involved, I've evolved into 335 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: Kimberly Chapman, and I evolved every day. So I tell people, 336 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: you don't ever want to be grown, um, and you 337 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: always want to be green, because that's that's living. UM. 338 00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: I told somebody one day that I hadn't I wasn't 339 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 1: grown yet, and they said, oh, I feel sorry for you, 340 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 1: and I just looked at it like when you've wrong, 341 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,280 Speaker 1: that means you at the end. I always try to 342 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: take that that perspective every day. But I went to 343 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,239 Speaker 1: UM school and studied psychology, and of course you use 344 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: it every day. UM. But I married Bill Chapman in 345 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,920 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety or I can't remember, it's been a while, 346 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: he um. And then that's different for a woman, right 347 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 1: we normally Yeah, well I got a lot to remember. 348 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,520 Speaker 1: But anyway, I married him and he already had the 349 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: product because that's his part. He's the MANU. He's the 350 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: developer of our products, which in my road became Congo Carolthina, 351 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: and um, of course I made it better. I came 352 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 1: into the administrated hire and fire, and you know, I 353 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: have a lot of ideas, so we brought that together. 354 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: We're we're a team and we understand each other's weaknesses 355 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: and strength and were worked on that. And in doing that, 356 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to advertise the the products, so I went 357 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: to some magazines. And the magazines to me, cost too 358 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,639 Speaker 1: much because you can become a bit conglomerate and forget 359 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: about the people that are starting. And that's what I 360 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 1: felt that these magazines had done. I understand you have 361 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: to pay the bills, being that I'm in the magazine 362 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:20,800 Speaker 1: business now, but you have to give people chances. So 363 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 1: that's what caused me to um start seeing magazine and 364 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: it's been doing well. Um And I try to remember, 365 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 1: I do remember that backbone, the is regular people, people 366 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: who are out there doing it every day. So I 367 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 1: try to not ever forget that, nor do I allow 368 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 1: my um My, I don't like the I really don't 369 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: like the word employees because, um, when you start a business, 370 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: you bring other people in because they are part of 371 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 1: the vision and the creativity also, so I take on 372 00:20:56,080 --> 00:21:00,719 Speaker 1: the monetary um part of having having a business, but 373 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,800 Speaker 1: they're part of the business. So the people that work 374 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: with me UM helped me to increase my magazine and 375 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 1: of course the products. UM and I have two children 376 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: and they are in the business with me. My son 377 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: a little more than my daughter. UM Tony Williams, my 378 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: daughter right now is increasing her family. So she's doing 379 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: a good job that to UM. But yeah, it's a 380 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: day to day basis that we're on every day. And 381 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 1: UM we also have they a nonprofit Chapman Found. Before 382 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: we get to that, Before we get to that, we 383 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: go I want to go back to the magazine. She 384 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 1: magazine because because because of the digital era, they are 385 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: social media era. You know when you started the magazine, 386 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 1: print was was the was the news stands and all that. 387 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 1: How has that changed your philosophy and how you update uh, 388 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: your magazine because online and you know, you have to 389 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: date it more constantly. It's because I'm assuming is she 390 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: in a monthly magazine or quarterly magazine or what is it? 391 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,360 Speaker 1: It's every other month, every other month, but online it's 392 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: updated more correct. We update it online every day. I 393 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: have some great office that come in. I have writers 394 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 1: all over the world, UM that send in information. But yes, 395 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 1: we update our website every day.

But I wanted to work 651 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,600 Speaker 1: in the park to see if I liked it. And 652 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,760 Speaker 1: that was the biggest thing. I just didn't do something. 653 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: I went to see if I liked it first, And 654 00:36:23,920 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 1: when I found out that I really liked it and 655 00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: loved it, that's when I started to really pursue it. Now, 656 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: let's go back to your your your your business, because 657 00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: because I love the whole thing about being an entrepreneur, 658 00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 1: you know, you know, I always tell people work in 659 00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: a normal jar always really prepared you for being an entrepreneur. 660 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,640 Speaker 1: They teaching to a discipline and being on time. They're 661 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: teaching your rules, they're teaching you how to work with 662 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,440 Speaker 1: other people. And a lot of people don't understand that 663 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,480 Speaker 1: you talked about okay, I didn't know that, so you 664 00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: shadowed people who had been so you you you, you 665 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: do a lot of man, I want people to really 666 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 1: hear your story because you casually talk about these things. 667 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 1: But you're doing all the important little things that make 668 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,359 Speaker 1: people success. If you don't know, you gonna hang out 669 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,839 Speaker 1: around people who do know. If you feel you need 670 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,920 Speaker 1: to be educated, you break up. You said inside of 671 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,280 Speaker 1: town to be re educated. You don't mind reinventing yourself. 672 00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,000 Speaker 1: You don't mind letting people think that ignore the fact 673 00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: that I don't have a flaw. I just want to 674 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,680 Speaker 1: get better. And a lot of people use excuses to 675 00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,360 Speaker 1: educate themselves and reintervent themselves as a sign of failure. 676 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:38,759 Speaker 1: You just say, hey, man, I gotta do what I 677 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,840 Speaker 1: gotta do to get to my dreams, and my dreams 678 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:43,960 Speaker 1: are tied to me. Uh, shadowing people who know more 679 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: than me, by educating myself more, by a lot of 680 00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:51,319 Speaker 1: people being in business with people who assist me and 681 00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 1: allow me to be successful. All those points are very important. 682 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,919 Speaker 1: Plus you even more smarter as you you you you 683 00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,040 Speaker 1: tell us even more of a because you stay on 684 00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: the air in the Philadelphia. Yeah. Yeah, so and and 685 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,360 Speaker 1: I and I appreciate and I appreciate that, and and 686 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 1: the thing and the thing about it is is that 687 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 1: and that comes from God. I can't do anything about that. 688 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,560 Speaker 1: That's me and my relationship with God. We're trying to 689 00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: be humble and trying my best to be because the 690 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,719 Speaker 1: thing about it is, no matter what field you are 691 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: you're in, if you're switching fields or you're trying to 692 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 1: reinvent yourself, the biggest the biggest mistake you can make 693 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,279 Speaker 1: is I know right, I know it already. And this 694 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,520 Speaker 1: is this generation at times, is that I know everything before, 695 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:36,959 Speaker 1: like I don't know anything. But I didn't know anything 696 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 1: about family entertainment. I thought I knew. I thought I 697 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:42,160 Speaker 1: can recognize the business and and and oh it can 698 00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,120 Speaker 1: be successful here. But I didn't know the nuances of it. 699 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 1: I didn't know payroll, I didn't know scheduling. I didn't 700 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,879 Speaker 1: know um Ocean standards for employees. I didn't know any 701 00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,680 Speaker 1: of this information. And that's the that was the place 702 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: that I found out that that it would be more 703 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 1: successful if I would if I would acknowledge the fact 704 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,600 Speaker 1: that I didn't know. So when I came in to 705 00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 1: a person that had a business, I came in with 706 00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,279 Speaker 1: that approach, Hey, you know my name is Jason or 707 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 1: what have you? And uh and and you don't you 708 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 1: don't know who I am maybe or maybe you know 709 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: me from the Eagles, but can you give me an 710 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: opportunity to shout at you and learn what you know? 711 00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:24,600 Speaker 1: And that approach got me in more doors than me 712 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,879 Speaker 1: coming in with the brazen attitude of arrogance. I love that. 713 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: I know we got a few minutes left, but I 714 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: got to go back to the these these kid birthday parties, 715 00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:38,359 Speaker 1: these large amounts of kids, how do you hand how 716 00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,239 Speaker 1: does your business handle that? And when it when it's 717 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,040 Speaker 1: thirty forty kids they're coming in, how did it? Because 718 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,080 Speaker 1: you know it has to be a degree of security 719 00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,279 Speaker 1: to make sure that the kid doesn't get walk out 720 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: the front door with some crazy person and make sure 721 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: that the kids stays in the How does that whole 722 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: set up work for you at your facility? Well, yeah, 723 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,919 Speaker 1: so we have so so thirty or forty, we were like, yeah, 724 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,040 Speaker 1: so we we have we have up to so in 725 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 1: our on our p LS system, it's a jump tracker, 726 00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,480 Speaker 1: So on our jump tracker, we can have up to 727 00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:09,720 Speaker 1: two hundred jumpers and out. Okay, and on that jump tracker, 728 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,799 Speaker 1: every time someone purchases a ticket, it gets subtractive from 729 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: that jump tracker. So we're able to limit how many 730 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 1: people are in the building. And we understand because we 731 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,279 Speaker 1: give them wristbands, and we give their parents wristbands that 732 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,759 Speaker 1: are coinciding with their kids to recognize, okay, which kid 733 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: is with who UM. So that's how that process goes. 734 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,440 Speaker 1: And also we have people at our front door. We 735 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:35,359 Speaker 1: have a bunch of different measures to try to keep 736 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 1: the kids safe, UM but and also to keep them 737 00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: safe on the trampolines because if a kid isn't doing 738 00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:43,399 Speaker 1: the right things at the wrong time, you can get 739 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,480 Speaker 1: hurt because there's so many people in your business and 740 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,080 Speaker 1: you in your in your building. So we're trying to 741 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,759 Speaker 1: shovel them through, UM but within reasons. So we have 742 00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,399 Speaker 1: different courts UM set up in different court monitors there 743 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,600 Speaker 1: to to watch it and UM. But it's all set 744 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,919 Speaker 1: up in our PLS system. It's really not that hard 745 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 1: to recognize who's in there, who's in the building, and 746 00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:06,640 Speaker 1: we also have security. We also have our staff there 747 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,600 Speaker 1: as well. Oh man, let everybody know how they can 748 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 1: reach your place.

Um, up until about two years ago, I 846 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 1: lived in New York and in Brooklyn. So I'm just 847 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,520 Speaker 1: kind of like New York adjacent now and loving it absolutely. 848 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with living in New Jersey and community. 849 00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 1: It's awesome. Now, then here's the thing about your talents. 850 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,920 Speaker 1: And then we're going to talk about this, uh this 851 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,160 Speaker 1: nacho that I'm gonna make for my Super Bowl, We're 852 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 1: gonna talk about that. We gonna talk about them, gonna 853 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:47,600 Speaker 1: talk about all this thing. But I just want to 854 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 1: talk about Sunny right now. You know the radio DJ Sonny, 855 00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,880 Speaker 1: the Air Force Sonny. You know this background, and I 856 00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 1: knew nothing about. They like to bring up, bring up 857 00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:58,919 Speaker 1: on the show. As if I give everybody two breaks, 858 00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 1: I want to learn a little bit about a person. 859 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 1: Uh let them know that you just just pop up 860 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 1: and suddenly start cooking on national TV. There's a journey 861 00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 1: to that, So tell us a little history about the 862 00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,560 Speaker 1: Air Force or transitioning from from radio all the way 863 00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:17,600 Speaker 1: to catering and then then the celebrity chef status. Yeah, so, 864 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I think you're right, there's a journey, um 865 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,279 Speaker 1: to wherever we are in the present, especially if it's 866 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:24,880 Speaker 1: a present and I feel like I'm living in a 867 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,399 Speaker 1: present every day. Um. I started right out of high 868 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,480 Speaker 1: school in the Air Force because I wanted to be 869 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 1: in broadcasting in journalism because it was what I was 870 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 1: focused on in high school. Uh. And so when I 871 00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:40,360 Speaker 1: got into the Air Force, trained for that and became 872 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,800 Speaker 1: a broadcaster journalist in the Air Force, and very simply, 873 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: you know, knew that I wanted to do more. When 874 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,600 Speaker 1: I got out as the military after four years, Um, 875 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: I just continued in radio. And you know, um, you 876 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,759 Speaker 1: can't do anything unless you're ready to move or you're 877 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,359 Speaker 1: lucky enough. Um, you know, you're at what we call 878 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 1: it a heron sits job where you're from the city 879 00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 1: and you get to kind of really grow your roots 880 00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,799 Speaker 1: in that city and become major. So not being from 881 00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,279 Speaker 1: anywhere as a military brad, my choice was to move 882 00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 1: around get my resume up so I could get to 883 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:16,440 Speaker 1: New York, and I thankfully did in two thousand one. So, um, 884 00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,360 Speaker 1: you know I got here, I was doing what I 885 00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:21,040 Speaker 1: was always doing in other cities and other places I lived, 886 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:25,120 Speaker 1: which is, you know, eating and feeding myself. And um, 887 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,480 Speaker 1: you know, as a single person, you bring that food 888 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 1: to work, the leftovers, whether it's cookies or if it's 889 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 1: the other half of the meat loaf. And I just 890 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,880 Speaker 1: started finding that that was my calling card. You know, 891 00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,440 Speaker 1: people expected me to show up with food, and um, 892 00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,280 Speaker 1: that really just um, you know, snowballed into a catering 893 00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,960 Speaker 1: business because so many people kept asking and um after 894 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,279 Speaker 1: I was charging for just the groceries, and I thought 895 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,480 Speaker 1: people would stop asking because I charged them for the food. Um, 896 00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 1: you know, it just got to the point where people said, oh, 897 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,479 Speaker 1: there's a price for this sure, And so I turned 898 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,600 Speaker 1: it into a carrying something. Talked about it on my 899 00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,319 Speaker 1: radio show when I was on Radio New York, and 900 00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:09,120 Speaker 1: that's how Food Network found me through m Oral Laghassi. So, um, 901 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 1: you know a lot of like choices and trials and 902 00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:16,160 Speaker 1: tribulations and journeys in between you know there and here. Um, 903 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,000 Speaker 1: and I would argue that there's still another here to 904 00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:23,120 Speaker 1: get to and I'm there right now. So I think 905 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,440 Speaker 1: it's always like a journey of chasing goals and dreams 906 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,239 Speaker 1: and um, hopefully they pan out, and if they don't, 907 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:32,320 Speaker 1: you have a couple more ideas on the back burner. 908 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:34,879 Speaker 1: Well it's fantastic and you're on my show talking about 909 00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:37,880 Speaker 1: it at the perfect time. So we got got a 910 00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:43,960 Speaker 1: busy marketing week Sunday Anderson Marketing Week is on starting today. 911 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:48,880 Speaker 1: Rushan is getting busy. I'm launching it. I'm launching her 912 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,320 Speaker 1: campaign today on Monday. Making conversation. But before I'll be remissed, 913 00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,160 Speaker 1: I got a couple of minutes left in our interview. 914 00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,440 Speaker 1: Here the kitchen. This is the show again. This is 915 00:49:57,480 --> 00:49:59,600 Speaker 1: where a lot of talented people on the show, and 916 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,640 Speaker 1: when they have Sunny starts talking. I think she's talking 917 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,640 Speaker 1: to me. Really, she's talking to me. She's sampling those 918 00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:09,040 Speaker 1: little dessert and just making these things. What makes that 919 00:50:09,080 --> 00:50:13,200 Speaker 1: show work for you? Well, I think you know what 920 00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,799 Speaker 1: you described. I think I called you know, pick your 921 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 1: Pony television. We've got four dynamic uh co host We're 922 00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 1: all from different places. We all grew up with different flavors, vibestyles, languages, etcetera. Uh, 923 00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 1: the norm is different for each of us. And so 924 00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,600 Speaker 1: I like the idea that someone might watch and think 925 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,960 Speaker 1: I am so annoying, but then just love my girl 926 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,279 Speaker 1: Katie or Jeff or gee Z and vice versa. You 927 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,359 Speaker 1: know someone that might watch me and say I can 928 00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:43,120 Speaker 1: only pattage. Oh you, everything you're saying makes sense to 929 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:45,480 Speaker 1: what I you know. I know that's because maybe we 930 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:49,280 Speaker 1: have some of the same things in our our nurture, 931 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,719 Speaker 1: you know, and our nature. So it's really cool to 932 00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,840 Speaker 1: be on a show where a lot of different vibes 933 00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,720 Speaker 1: are represented, and I think that's what makes it work most. 934 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,439 Speaker 1: We really do love eating it. We love cooking. But 935 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,399 Speaker 1: you know, I tell people all the time, my job, 936 00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,440 Speaker 1: my career isn't to be a shepherd cook. I actually 937 00:51:07,480 --> 00:51:10,399 Speaker 1: eat more than I cook because I get to sit 938 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:12,759 Speaker 1: on these shows and eat all this awesome dude, So 939 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:15,280 Speaker 1: I think that's what works. Plus, it's like, who wouldn't 940 00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 1: want to eat food from different people? It's free, you 941 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:22,240 Speaker 1: know who. I think watching someone living their best life 942 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,879 Speaker 1: is pretty awesome and I like to watch that out 943 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 1: there in the world too. So I can imagine if 944 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,239 Speaker 1: I'm living my best life man giving out and it's 945 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,080 Speaker 1: awesome the people are watching that.
