You know 59 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: what I will tell you this when it comes to 60 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: brand building, you know, I've been working on that for 61 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: some years now, um, and what I've learned, I've had 62 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: some ups and downs, you know, some trial and errors 63 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: when it's come to that. But what I've learned is 64 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,239 Speaker 1: that it's important to have a team, right, a team 65 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: of people who first of all, believe in you. Because 66 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: when somebody believes in you, then they're willing to put 67 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: in as much work as you to make sure you 68 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: get to where you're trying to go. So you have 69 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: to find people who believe in you, who believe in 70 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: what you're trying to do, um, and just surrounding yourself 71 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: with people who are like minded. Um. You know, recently 72 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: on last Saturday's episode, you guys got to see our team, right, 73 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: and so on one side of the table you had 74 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 1: three people from l A who are part of our 75 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: branding team. And on another side of the table, you 76 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: had Alabama natives who are based right here out of 77 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: Birmingham and they're part of our branding team. So we 78 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: have people, you know, who believe in us, who who's 79 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: worked with us for a while now and who are 80 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: pushing forward to make sure that we get to the 81 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: girls who we're trying to get too. So when it 82 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: comes to branding UM, it's all about having the right 83 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: team and the right people in your corner. Hands down. 84 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: We know, like that's important because like my name is 85 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: on the usual Rashan Rashan McDonald's my name. And so 86 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,760 Speaker 1: when when people said, you know, always always get a 87 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: kick out of it because of the fact that that 88 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: means that my message is getting out there about me. 89 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: But more importantly, when you say you have a team 90 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: in l a which I love, and then you have 91 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: a team in Alabama, which means that that keeps it 92 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: more authentic because they kind of know the lifestyle. Because 93 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: everybody I hate when people come in the room and go, 94 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 1: I know, you know you don't you just seen me 95 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 1: on TV Fact fact, and like you're saying, you know, 96 00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: those the people who understand those grass roots who understand 97 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: Alabama history, Alabama heritage, and how you can pull those 98 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: things in together. And then some of my team, like 99 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: I said, they're you know, right from Birmingham. So in 100 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: terms of that whole piece of history when it comes 101 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: to the the civil rights, when it comes to UM, Birmingham, Staffel, 102 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: UM and all of that and I'm being able to 103 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: find ways to pull me in with that. I mean, 104 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: it's been amazing. So I'm so thankful. I thank God 105 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: every day for the amazing people he's put around me. 106 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: For sure. Now let's talk about that, because you said 107 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: something interesting. This is I'm really you know something. I 108 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: love talking to you because the energy is there and 109 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: I know you're hidden in the direction that you have 110 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: a plan for. Like you said, Richean, this didn't start 111 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 1: with with with this this reality show. I was hitting 112 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: down this direction all along, and I just this is 113 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: really accelerated it absolutely absolutely. So what is your brain? 114 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 1: What brand are you trying to design? Like I said earlier, 115 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: let me just say what I said. I said the wife, 116 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: mother for entrepreneur, uh, master classes on Instagram and clown 117 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 1: social media influencer. What is your brain? If you're trying 118 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: to be yes and all of that is a part 119 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: of my brand. You know who I am, what I 120 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: pushed for. What I advocate for, UM being a mom, 121 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: being a wife, being UM still being able to be 122 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: a boss and at the same time empowering others UM 123 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: specifically for me as women, UM finding ways to empower 124 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: others so you know, I have my master class that 125 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: I do where I'm actually right now doing live series 126 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: where I'm getting free knowledge and free information by bringing 127 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: on guests who've reached certain amounts of success and their 128 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: careers and their lives. Then of course i have my 129 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 1: master class with Melody Hope Preservation Academy where I'm helping 130 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: people get into this multibillion dollar industry called property preservation. 131 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: So I have and it mostly consistent women. So I 132 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 1: have women who I've helped in terms of getting their 133 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 1: e I N setting up lcs, getting business checking accounts, 134 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: and then ultimately getting contacts and getting work orders that 135 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: they're able to complete and make money. So um, you know, 136 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: it's one of those things where for me, my brand 137 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: consists of you know, business. I'm a home builder, so 138 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: being a being in business, but also being a wife, 139 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: being a mom, and also helping others and bring them 140 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: along on that journey. Now, this is really important that 141 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: we're the reason I wanted to bring on the show 142 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: because we all know TV. They get in the editing room, 143 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: they tell a story they want to take off for ratings. 144 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: You know, it can it could be annoying, it could 145 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: be a very annoying to you Saturday night after the air, 146 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: So it could be they said, because you know that 147 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: can reflect on what people think. Okay, and live in 148 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: the reflection. Okay, you are an attractive or beautiful woman 149 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: and you are in ma. You need to stop, you 150 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: need to stop. You know you, you know you know 151 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: you got it going on.

Um So for me, 458 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: it was always be chasing my division, my purpose, and 459 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 1: my goals.

However, I've always been adamant on making sure 499 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: or that underneath that that my skin is still glowing, 500 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 1: that my skin is still healthy. Because your skin is 501 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 1: the largest piece of your body, so you got to 502 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 1: take care of it. Um. So for me, for me, 503 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 1: I UM just definitely said, you know, I want to 504 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: put these things together along with the things my great 505 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: grandmother has shared with me and put it into a product. 506 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:20,000 Speaker 1: So I have a cleanser. Um. It's really um, to 507 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: be honest, it's what. It's a everyday regiment that you 508 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: can use as a cleanser, a toner moisturizes than a 509 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 1: lip primer, which of course you would put your lip 510 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: primer on before you put on your you know, litt 511 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 1: gloss or lipstick or things of that nature. Um. And 512 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 1: so that has been amazing. UM. I actually premiered it 513 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 1: on the show earlier, refilmed it, I think the first 514 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 1: part in the January, right before the pandemic. UM. And 515 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: then for me being pregnant, of course, when you're pregnant, 516 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: you have itchy skin, you have dry skin and things 517 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: like that. So when I was pregnant, I went ahead 518 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: and got with my chemist, which I'm using a black 519 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: chemist out of Dallas, Texas who I've worked with. I 520 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 1: actually met her through Marquell because she and Martuell went 521 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: to high school together. But she has a very very 522 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: successful natural hair care line, so I got with her 523 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: and um, we came up together and put this, put 524 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: my products together, and you know, worked for really almost 525 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,400 Speaker 1: two years just making sure that it was the way 526 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: I wanted it to be. Two years too, because in 527 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: between of everything else that I'm doing, of course, I'm 528 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: always doing so many different things. So it was about 529 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: two years that we put in getting it the way 530 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: I wanted it. Um, Because I'm big on again branding. 531 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: Everything reflects my brand, so I gotta make sure everything 532 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,840 Speaker 1: is top notch. We're not gonna short change things, right, UM. 533 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: So when I was pregnant, I came up with the 534 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,199 Speaker 1: body lotion, the body oil, and the body but her 535 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: um and so that's what that's what Embrace currently consists of. 536 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: And I'm actually going to be having a live event 537 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: on social media when I'm actually gonna open the website 538 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: up for sale, So that's gonna be happening.
