Speaker 1: don't know, the pro bono side of you. You know,

74
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,440

Speaker 1: big brother Rashan, I'm I'm in Atlanta, I'm dying, I'm

79
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: in Georgia. I said, well, come up by the house.

80
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 1: You said, no, no, no, I got a big deal.

81
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: Tell everybody about the situation that happens with the cemetery

82
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: where black people can only be buried on one side

83
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 1: of the fence and white people can only be buried

84
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 1: on the other side of the face. Let us know absolutely,

85
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: Reshine and the mottel for the firm is justice sequels respect.

86
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: And that's what it really is about, trying to make

87
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: sure we respect my own lives in America and in Cammilla, Georgia,

88
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: where the population is African American white. Uh, they're their

89
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: first African American man to be mayor of the city,

90
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: first black mayor, and he and about forty other citizens

91
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: called to retain my services because they wanted to desegregate

92
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: the city of Camilla. That for no matter how many population,

93
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,799
Speaker 1: how many demographics show that blacks should have a stake

94
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: in what happens in the city. The white minority ruling

95
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 1: class continued to treat the black is under class citizens.

96
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: In every week there were no black fireman, no black

97
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 1: police officers. They were only three black city employees. That

98
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: was one was a ganitor, the other was a trash collector,

99
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: and one was a city clerk. And they had a

100
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: segregated cemetery Sean McDonald, which was shocking to me that

101
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: they had a segregated city on cemetery where black people

102
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: could not be buried. There's the white people. They had

103
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: a fence where one side of the cemetery was well maintained,

104
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: where a culture everything with documented aka proper respect to

105
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: their loved ones and their memories. And then on the

106
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: other side of the fence they didn't maintain it at all.

107
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: It was when they buried black new records. I mean

108
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: in two thousands, seventeen and eighteen, we still have this

109
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: ignorance that says Rashan, even the spirits can't be integrated.

110
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: The dead people gotta be separate. So so so when

111
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: you get a case like that, you said, all these

112
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: people call it's a pro bone on cage, which a

113
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: lot of people on that they don't know that beans free.

114
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: That means you weren't pay for that, but with a

115
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: miss your business schedule because you you you flew down

116
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 1: there on your own dime. You flew you took care

117
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: of the whole situation. It's not It's something that goes

118
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: into your on your on your court schedule, on your schedule.

119
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: How do you balance that, the balance your law firm,

120
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: the TV show, old the books. How are you balancing that? Ben?

121
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: You know a lot of times I talked with you

122
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: big brothers that he don't tell them no secrets. Don't

123
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: tell your secrets. But you have to keep everythinking perspect

124
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: to being on this. Have to understand at least I

125
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: have a more compass that tells me, uh, the blessings

126
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: that God gave us this, this legal education, then decrease

127
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: these talents. We have to use it for more than

128
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: just the benefit of ourselves. That you know, success is

129
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: measured in different ways, and it's not always just about um,

130
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: you know, financial success. Some of it and a lot

131
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: of it is about what we can do to help

132
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 1: up theft for other people, even when you don't have

133
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: anything to benefit from it. Because you know, your blessings

134
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: has been a blessings to other and if nobody else

135
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: is watching, God is watching, and so rich And when

136
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: I thought about this case, I really thought this here

137
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: I thought the city leader is in Camilla, Georgia, who

138
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: were worried about that when they died, they would be

139
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: buried next to a black person, as if there was

140
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: a white heaven or a black heaven, was gonna find

141
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: themselves in an integrated hell. And that's the message I

142
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: wanted to convey to America. Using a lot of the

143
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: techniques that we've worked on together. It became a trend

144
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: in national story and I'm so excited to announce that

145
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: for the first time a shine in eighty five years.

146
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a historic victory. We saw that

147
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: fence of segregation and racism taken down. And the last

148
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: thing I said about it, yeah, it was it was

149
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: profound because there was a seventy two year old black

150
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: woman who had been an activist or her life born

151
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: in Camella. When I went out to Semessary the first

152
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: time to sit because I just didn't believe it. Nobody

153
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: believes that. The people from the New York Times in Atlanta,

154
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: Joana Constitution didn't believe. You had to go see this

155
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: fence separating the cemetery. It wasn't a big fence, it

156
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: was a cheap looking fence. I saw it yeah, I mean, unbelievable,

157
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: But it was just that symbol, that symbol that you

158
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: can't come over here, you can't do this, even if

159
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: your loved ones, you can't reach this ground. This ground

160
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: is different. We're gonna treat it different, We're gonna manicure

161
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: it different. You're better than us even in death, you know.

162
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: And that's really the symbol you're trying to destroy. Yep.

163
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,959
Speaker 1: And Gwen Thomas phraise that in her lifetime, she han't

164
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: see that fence come down. And I was so proud

165
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: to look at that old black woman's face when she said,

166
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: we defeated Jim Crow, We defeated you, we defeated segregation.

167
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: And so she said, now that we have got this

168
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: phylical fensive segregation down to Turning Crow, we got to

169
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: work on bringing down these invisible fences and segregation to

170
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: make all the children and Camilla have a chance at

171
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: the American dream. And that the shift over to the

172
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 1: entrepreneur side of Mr Crow, the law firm side, because

173
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,840
Speaker 1: you're your personality, not because you know you just recently

174
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: hosted the in these very popular special TUPAC and a

175
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: Biggie Special investigative series, and US made a cameo in

176
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: the movie Marshall. But uh, but that that's a personality side,

177
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: but the entrepreneurship side. Taking your law firm from a

178
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: local office in Tallahassee, Florida to a national platform, and

179
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: one of the first officers that you opened was in Atlanta, Georgia.

180
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: Tell us exactly because you're known as an in the

181
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: national platform, you know for civil rights. This is not

182
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: a civil rights uh guided law firm. This is about

183
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: an injustice in a different form. What explained to us absolutely,

184
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: and thank you for getting me tracking because I don't

00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: want Yagan mad at me. I don't want your Morgan

186
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: mad at me. And you have to make money to

187
00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:00,080

192
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: But Atlanta was important, uh to be that first office

193
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: because Atlanta represents to many in America the black Merca

194
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: for black people in America. So you wanted to make

195

00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: that's why we're fighting to do all these things on

237
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: a whole uh large scale, national scale, and that's really important.

238
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: And so so you have a brand, and your brand

239
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: was brought out by the infamous Trayvonn Martin case. Now

240
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: there's a big Trayvonn Martin project that's a coming up

241
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: of this this spring. Please tell us about that. Yeah,

242
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: jay Z is the executive producer if Trayvon Martin Rest

243
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: in Power. It's going to be on Paramount Television and

244
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a four part docuseries. His parents, Trade

245
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: and Sabrina are making sure that tray Bons Magazine has

246
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: never forgotten. There's gonna be all the Wed movie coming

247
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: after that there. But it's an important story because you know,

248
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: if all our children can potentially be traybone walking home

249
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: and targeted, uh, you know, a racist person who don't

250
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: see our children as children. Well, we just talked about

251
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 1: the story that people did want, you know, minorities being

252
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: the grave site or share the same ground, the same

253
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: side of the ground, so we know racism isn't over.

254
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 1: But sometimes because of we see success, we see television commercials,

255
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: or you see strong assimilation, you see movies, you see

256
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 1: inter racial relationships. Racism is still here. It was shown

257
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: recently in Virginia. Well, your protester was run down by

258
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: a person who had, uh, you know, racist behavior. So

259
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: when you talk about all these things and that launched

260
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: you into the mainstream, your your brand, your bars, I've

261
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: been with your The airport people stop you, they pray

262
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: for you. That's a lot of that's a lot of

263
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 1: stuff that's that's hung on your shoulders. How do you

264
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: deal with the expectations you know of saying that you

265
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: are a deliverer of good, a deliver of the righteous,

266
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: equal lines in the wrong. How do you how do

267
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: you overcome that? You know, Rashan, you try as best

268
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: you can to say, God, I'm standing as you would

269
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: have me stand. And that's what you have to do.

270
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: First and foremost. You have to have the courage to stand.

271
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: Just like you know, when we were talking about television,

272
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: he said, hey, your brand is growing. You have to

273
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: have the courage to take that next step. I think

274
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: about evidence of innocence. You know the show that you're

275
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 1: executive producing with me Richard and telling those stories of

276
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 1: all those unknown unnamed people who were completely innocent and

277
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: they were incarcerated and exonerated othys sometimes decades in prison

278
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: by clin convincing evidence and DNA evidence. Well, that's what

279
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: it's about. In this show is gonna be on tele

280
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: TV one coming up this summer series. Let me just

281
00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: let me just break it down. He just slid into

282
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: evidence and it's so now you know he is the

283
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: host of this show. Uh. It was an idea I

284
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: came up with, uh where I felt that individuals who

285
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: spend time in jail for wrongfully in a cues and

286
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 1: they get out, I mean the fifteen twenty years, I

287
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,199
Speaker 1: thought there was a story. They're not that, not that that.

288
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: How do you not break? How do you what? What?

289
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,679
Speaker 1: What keeps you motivated? Because when they get out, these

290
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,160
Speaker 1: people were featuring. When they get out of jail, they

291
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,679
Speaker 1: are doing exceptionally amazing things in the community. There's no hate,

292
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: there's no I've been screwed, so I'm gonna screw you.

293
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: And when I approached the idea to bid heathless Rashan,

294
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 1: that's what I want to do. I want to tell

295
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 1: those stories. And so we came on board and he's

296
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: the host of the show. That's a magnificent jaw of

297
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: of walking into these people's homes, walking into their lives

298
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: and telling their story. And you was emotionally moved a

299
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: lot of times. And because we went on site to

300
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: the different cities, we don't this is not a cookie

301
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: cutter show. You actually went to these different cities. Tell

302
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: em about it been. Yeah, we went to Connecticut, we

303
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: went to Texas, we went to Oregon, was in Russia.

304
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: You know, we we don't think about black people being

305
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: in Oregon. But this sister was wrongful, inconcerated a lot

306
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: to do, I believe, with racism and her sexual preferences. Uh.

307
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: And so I mean we hit on a lot of

308
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 1: aspects of it. But you know the thing that I

309
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: always remember in the sherwy Shine that just really touched

310
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: me in a way. These are the people that we

311
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: say was the worst that society had the offer. We

312
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: we were gonna fock him up and throw away the key.

313
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 1: But even after it was shown that they had been

314
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: dealt terrible blow, that they were completely innocent, these people

315
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 1: cared to reveal that they really was the best that

316
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: society had offer because they didn't have hate, they didn't

317
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: want to UH been a'm out saying we want to

318
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: try to get on with our life. We understand that

319
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: it was a terrible thing, but I'm gonna get on

320
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: with my life. And what you said, Rashond, that really

321
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: put it in perspective for me. You think you having

322
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: a tough life, you having a tough day, Well imagine

323
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: what these people have went through and the fact that

324
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: they don't give up hope. I mean, that's the motivational show.

325
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: It's a motivational show, and that's the beauty of it

326
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: because I want to get back your law firm and

327
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: get that number back out of the game. But give

328

332
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: this fall. Come on now, but we gotta we gotta

333
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: start that hype machine now about open season? Yea open

334
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 1: season the legalized genocide of black lives. And what it

335
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: talks about is the justice uh that has happened legally

336
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: since the inception of America, and things to make you

337
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: aware of that you may not have been aware of.

338
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: And we're going much deeper than three fifths of a

339
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: person and slavery. It's talking about things today like qualified

340
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: immunity when they shoot out children and they're not held accountable.

341
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: It's talking about the laws where we talk about environmental racism,

342
00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: whearing black communities, they're allowed to talk dump these toxic chemicals.

343
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 1: And so it really is a book that is going

344
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 1: to talk about not only how the law intellectually justifies

345
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: the discrimination, but what we have to do as a

346
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: community in and out of the courtroom to overcome it

347
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:47,760

00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:06,080

404
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: on radio. I got my radio. Well, you know it's

405
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: it's you know, I'm gonna do a little quick history

406
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: because because when somebody has been this, especially in your

407
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: life so long, you have to tell the story. My

408
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: first television opportunity was given to me by Steve Harvey

409
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: on his show ABC, Uh Me and the Boys. That

410
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: show was like Top twenty. It was abruptly counsel and

411
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: um and so at the time, you know, I didn't

412
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: know anything about TV from standpoint of representation agents and managers.

413
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: And so a gentleman by name of Robert Townsend heard

414
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: my talents brought me over to do his show called

415
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: Parenthood on the w B, and I guess we could

416
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: say I met this talented young lady who's been in

417
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: my life every since and so many different ways. She's

418
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 1: been a support system for me. I could call her

419
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: for advice, she would give me out. She's giving me

420
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: many opportunities to pitched TV shows and also help me

421
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: get some shows on TV. And now I feel with

422
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: our great honor that uh and watching this this entrepreneurs side,

423
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: entrepreneurship side of her life to be able to represent

424
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: on the radio and carry this um this this knowledge

425
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: nation wise is a beautiful thing. So I just wanted

426
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 1: to get that out Charlie and UH special and you know,

427
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: I've invited you to the Neighborho Awards and all you know,

428
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: we we've we've been we've been together a long time

429
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: and we go and I say that because that's about relationships.

430
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: And I always tell people that, uh, one of the

431
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 1: keys to success is relationships. And also don't bite the hand.

432
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 1: Don't bite the hand that gave you your opportunity. And

433
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,479
Speaker 1: a lot of people who don't understand that, they think

434
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: they can be successful and they get some success and

435
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: they just forget forget that path, and I can never

436
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: forget the path. You always be special. Whenever I see

437
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:56,920
Speaker 1: Robert Towns and he just stopped with shaw and stop

438
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: as you know, man, you saved my career. Dude, look here,

439
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: there would be no Steve Harvey if there's no Robert

440
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,399
Speaker 1: Townsend in my life. And Charlie, you know you were

441
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: special because you saw a rough young medium be be

442
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: carved into a comedian too, a very talented writer, you

443
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,199
Speaker 1: know the peers. I spent over there learning the craft

444
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: and understanding that and just seeing a young young African

445
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: American female like you because we met before. Kind of

446
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: like when when Robert dropped his first movie. I used

447
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: to call you when I was doing radio in Houston, Texas,

448
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 1: trying to push that movie. I didn't even know y'all.

449
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: You know, it was just that I just love what

450
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: y'all was doing. So so tell us about your new project,

451
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: because we got a couple of breaks here and so

452
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna burn up too much of your time

453
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: because this is all about you. Charlie. What is faith,

454
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: food fitness connection? What is that connection? The thing? I

455
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: think you know there are lots of diets out there

456
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: and diets don't work, and they don't work because they're

457
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: based on willpower and that's limited. Um. The faith food

458
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: fitness connection is really about beginning from a position of faith,

459
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 1: beginning with a purpose driven desire to be healthy, because

460
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: when we're in our best health, we can do our best.

461
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: So at the bottom of fit through faith is spirit power,

462
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: and spirit power is available in abundance anytime you need it.

463
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: And so when you base your reason for being in

464
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: faith and base your reason for being healthy and faith,

465
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: then the ball game changes. Then you can really begin

466
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: that mind renewal. Oftentimes we're just like that time. We

467
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 1: have all these excuses, but the reality is everyone and

468
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: you say this all the time, has an epic impact

469
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 1: to make on this world. And if you don't make

470
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: that alignment like and get in your best health, you

471
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 1: can't get that vision out there right because in pain,

472
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: we're tired, we're you know, we're excuse lad In because

473
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: we don't make those small changes one day at a

474
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: time to really connect our faith with the food that

475
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: we eat and our fitness. When you see, okay, this

476
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: is the rest of the year, this is the you know,

477
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: always do use resolutions Happening in that first quarter and

478
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: then about that second quarter that they said I didn't

479
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: say that. I did say that, how do you keep

480
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: that motivation? I really like one of the exciting reasons

481
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: I have you on the show because you should never

482
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: lose faith. So you have a great anchor anchor to

483
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: the plane. You know, as long as you have faith,

484
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: there's opportunities, there's opportunities, there's potential for success, and to

485
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: build your fitness around that program. What was what was

486
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: the I would say the light bulb, They said, this

487
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,719
Speaker 1: is the way, Well, the light bulb actually was was

488
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: the whole spirit? And to be honest, I was. I

489
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: was actually working at MTV and I was not in

490
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: a probably shouldn't call them out, but it was my

491
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 1: current position. I just didn't feel fulfilled. Something was missing.

492
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: And I've been married, but we were trying to have

493
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 1: a child. So I started going what I call these

494
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: faith walks. I was like, I need to I need direction,

495
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 1: and I would walk, took the earbuds out, and I

496
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: was really only I needed to hear a word and

497
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: I and I one day finally I felt the Holy Spirit,

498
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 1: my people are dying. Now. I didn't know what that

499
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: meant or what I was supposed to do about it.

500
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,440
Speaker 1: But I kept seeking and then the vision for fit

501
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: through faith came through. And you know, the scripture was clear,

502
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: and the words were clear, and the direction was clear,

503
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: and ultimately, you know, there's a verse and songs. One

504
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: it says, unless the Lord builds the house, the builders

505
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: labor in vain. So unless you start with faith, all

506
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: of your actions aren't necessarily going to build the house

507
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: or build your exceedingly abundant life. You need to start

508
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: there because that it's it's bigger than you. We get

509
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: stuck because we disappoint ourselves, like we will let ourselves down.

510
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: But if we are serving a higher purpose, like what

511
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: that call is on your life, then there's a better

512
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: reason and a bigger reason to be in your house. Now,

513
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: you know, immediately the entrepreneurs side of the goals, there's

514
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: a bunch of churches out there need to hear you. Yeah,

515
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's it because because that's the base of

516
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 1: faith starts there, because that's what churches are built on.

517
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, People go there or become members.

518
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: They hear that bars there. How have your approached you know,

519
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: spreading your brain? You know, and how receptive because I

520
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: do want to make this statement. It's like with anything,

521
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,239
Speaker 1: you know, people put so much pressure on faith, much

522
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,960
Speaker 1: pressure on God. You know, I think you can deliver

523
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: the but effort, effort, effort has to be in that process.

524
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: You're not gonna pray these pounds off. You're not gonna

525
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: pray until six back. So how are you getting the

526
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: message out? And you know, just just you know, this

527
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: is a playing out there for you, dude, that you

528
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: have a great concept, how is it being delivered? So

529
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: right now? You know you mentioned it even in your

530
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: open you know, social media is really you know, kind

531
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: of open the floodgates in terms of you know, beyond

532
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: local to national even international and so you know, so

533
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: social media has been my my main platform. Um. You

534
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: know I started with a group of forty and now

535
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: I have a group of a thousand forty one you

536
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: know in in in actually and so so the message

537
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: is getting out there. Um, I do speak. I actually

538
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: want to do more. Um I was you know, it

539
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: was blessed to be able to speak at Megafest in

540
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: June and has to to really large rooms and got

541
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: to teach a fitness class um which is the other

542
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: thing like the fitness part um and I'm really looking,

543
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, seeking more speaking opportunities. But you know, I

544
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: have different programs that I have and you know, you

545
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: can check out the website and you know I do

546
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: a cleanse and I do a you know, kind of

547
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: a ten week plan. But but it is so much

548
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 1: of it is getting the message to the people because

549
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: once you have a purpose driven health and once because

550
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: I just want people to stop waiting for the pain

551
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: to make a change. And that's what we're doing. We're

552
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: waiting for our doctor to make us do something, or

553
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: waiting for a relative or a friend to die, or

554
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: we're waiting for you know, we finally see that picture

555
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: that scares us like oh I didn't know, or that

556
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: number on the scale. But we don't have to wait

557
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 1: for the pain to change. We can do things today.

558
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: Let me issue this. This is really cool because you're

559
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 1: talking to a guy back in the eighties. I was

560
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: an aerobic constructor. You know, James Father was my my queen.

561
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: You know, everyone her DVDs and so so what is

562
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: what is what is a session with you? What is

563
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: the training session in a class? And how long is it?

564
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: So the session, the classes I do. It is called

565
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: actually called Proverbs thirty one Body, and I love it

566
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: because it really is about it focuses on stability, stamina,

567
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 1: and strength. So stability obviously we all need strong cores

568
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: because our cores really are the center of our being,

569
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: that we have a core focus. The then um staminas

570
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: is cardio. Cardio usually is some kind of interval training

571
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: because that's the most efficient way to get the best

572
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: exercise and burn the more most fat. And then um

573
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: strength strength training is so important, and especially for women,

574
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: tend to either not do it or you know, kind

575
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 1: of use excuses for it. But the reality is as

576
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,400
Speaker 1: we age, we're losing muscle mass, and so our metabolism

577
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: is slowing down. And then we wonder why our waistlines

578
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: are growing and we're still easy. Metabolism is slowing down,

579
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: but our spoon yes, indeed, and and and so we

580
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: we can do things about that, right if we if

581
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: we do our stability, stamin and strength, then we actually

582
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: will start to we'll see that waistline decrease and we'll

583
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: feel better, we'll have more energy. But we've got to

584
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: also eat the right food now before we go to

585
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: break tell us how we can reach you, uh website

586
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: social media and so we can get that out on

587
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,760

616
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: back to that when I hear an individual like you,

00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: I see cameras, I see a group of four or

618
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:34,280
Speaker 1: five people because ESPN was all into that in the eighties,

619
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: and I see it coming back. But on the social side,

620

Speaker 1: what happens when you've been off air for a month.

631
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 1: Your lips in your tongues and you and you don't

632
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,840
Speaker 1: get geared together. At the same time, I'm on the

633
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: phone with She's on the phone, Charlie, you're calling from

634
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Correctie, absolutely, Hey, let's let's talk about you know,

635
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: this is all about entrepreneurship. It's all about motivating people

636
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: through the secrets of success. The reason I really got

637
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: you on the phone talking about, you know, fit through

638
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: faith is to let people know how being in shape

639
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: can can make them better business people, make them better employees,

640
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: make them get up when he's supposed to get up.

641
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,719
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about that that side of it,

642
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,800
Speaker 1: and why are you're pushing it so hard because you

643
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 1: mentioned it earlier, But I really want to drill down

644
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: because when your entrepreneur, you you know, at twenty four

645
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 1: o'clock be really shortened when you're trying to sleep and

646
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 1: you gotta get up the work and you start expanding

647
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:06,280
Speaker 1: to that family. So you've got to figure out ways

648
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: to stay in shape or stay active to a point

649
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,319
Speaker 1: that you know, you don't build high cholesterol, you don't

650
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 1: build high blood pressure situation because you're eating their own things.

651
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,879
Speaker 1: Talk to us absolutely, so you know. So we talked

652
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:21,840
Speaker 1: about faith, and then the next thing is food because

653
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: basically our bodies were made perfectly, and perfect food was

654
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 1: created for our bodies like and I call it God's

655
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: abundant buffet. So when we eat those single ingredient foods

656
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 1: that God created that plant base but not plant exclusive,

657
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: but but making sure you have those plants, and then

658
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,280
Speaker 1: those clean foods that even the animal proteins that are clean,

659
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: our body actually runs the way it's supposed to run.

660
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: So if you are tired and fatigued and brain fog

661
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: and not getting enough sleep and all of these things,

662
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: and then you wonder why you're not productive, it's because

663
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: you're putting your rolls Royce and I say, stop putting cheap,

664
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: low octane knockoff gas in your tank. When we eat

665
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 1: man made foods, our bodies run like Kong. When we

666
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 1: eat the food that God made, our bodies run zoom.

667
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 1: And that's what makes the difference, and so for an

668
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: order in order for us to be effective in the workplace,

669
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: especially those visionaries, those who have dreams and goals and

670
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: purposes and calls on their lives. And we all do

671
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: because God wants use all of us in big ways.

672
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 1: But we're not even available because because our our communication

673
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 1: systems all clogged up and gunked up with processed foods.

674
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,760
Speaker 1: My goodness, you said it. I would tell you so

675
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: so a guy like me, I'm a bad eater. I

676
00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: got uh, I got in my phone. I got an

677
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: app for Crispy Crean. Okay, so I'm gonna eat bad.

678
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: So so the fitness how do because like I said,

679
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, I know when to stop. Though I would

680
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: tell you I know I have that big old piece

681
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: of German chocolate cake, but I know when to stop.

682
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: So so so when I hear you speaking, and you're

683
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 1: a fantastic speaker, I was just gonna let you know,

684
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: I gotta give you credit with credits due. You should

722
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: amazing format for young entrepreneurs or solo preneurs like you are.

723
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 1: And let's let's talk a little bit about making a

724
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: transition from a corporate executive to a sololo preneur because

725
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that just a little bit

726
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: because a lot of people are afraid to take that step,

727
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: you know, because a regular job, you know that check,

728
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: you know that health plan, you know we're supposed to

729
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: ride work you know, we're supposed to lead work, but

730
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: you were from corporate to solo preneurs talk to us. Yeah,

731
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a leap, and it has to be.

732
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,960
Speaker 1: The timing is always challenging because you know, you have

733
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: this this this thing deep down in your value that

734
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: you have to do and I've known that for a while.

735
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 1: The timing for me really was, you know, kind of

736
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: a collision of a lot of different things, you know,

737
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: contracts and blah blah, and finally just deciding, you know,

738
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,320
Speaker 1: I also wanted a better work life balance for my family,

739
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: and so I finally made the leap. But if you're

740
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,160
Speaker 1: not ready to make the leap yet, then you have

741
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: to reframe your mind and look at your job as

742
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,839
Speaker 1: your investor. So if your job as your investor, then

743
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: it's a good thing, right, And then you you have

744
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 1: to set a plan for that, like I need X

745
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: amount of money in order to do this dream. But

746
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: your dream and your vision and your goal and your

747
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:36,800
Speaker 1: purpose is everything. Like we need you, We need everyone

748
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 1: to manifest their message in the biggest way. So for me,

749
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: it was this is time, you know, and you know,

750
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: obviously conversations with a husband, um, but I had a

751
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: plan and so we were able to you know, kind

752
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: of financially it's tight, and I have to do everything myself.

753
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's hard. I'm working all the dag go

754
00:42:55,080 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: on time. You know, it's a natural so in all

755
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: of us, you're now just applying it to yourself. And

756
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: so that's why I respect now is there a light

757
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,359
Speaker 1: at the end of the time and stuff that it's

758
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: so dark down there? Used to go, oh my god,

759
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: what have I done. That's that's when the relationship and

760
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 1: the faith comes in to that. You've made the right decision,

761
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: so you know, you're not gonna run me off the page, know,

762
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: and and the in the faith part that you get confirmation.

763
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:25,480
Speaker 1: The confirmation is when the light bulb goes off in

764
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: somebody else, when somebody says, I get it and I

765
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 1: actually got to post this morning. A friend of mine

766
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,919
Speaker 1: had ten thousand steps before seven o'clock in the morning

767
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 1: my time. I was probably nine o'clock her time, but

768
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: that that was because the light bulb gone off, and

769
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: it's like, yes, thank you, I remember, I'm doing the

770
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: right thing. So you get those confirmations when your message

771
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 1: actually manifest and the light bulb goes off for somebody else.

772
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: You don't just share this story about you know, working,

773
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: you know on Sunday morning. Got I get up every

774
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: day at five am. That's a that's a consistency thing

775
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: about me, because if I changed that, then if my

776
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: body feels weird and my whole day is went off.

777
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 1: And so five am and so this is Sunday morning,

778
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 1: so it's a stagger around. Don't say I get up quickly,

779
00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: but I get I get up and then by by

780
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: six o'clock, I just went to my LinkedIn account and

781
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 1: I started messaging people. I'm talking to CEOs, entrepreneurs, owners

782
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: and everything and so so just I'm and I'm thinking

783
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: that that's so early that I wouldn't get responses. I

784
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 1: got responses from CEOs from Las Vegas. I got responses

785
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: from seat from from business owners from Los Angeles. I

786
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 1: got responses all this before seven o'clock am. This is

787
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: on Sunday morning, from from network executives h in New York.

788
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 1: And I was that let me know. And I must

789
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 1: have said about thirty messages that morning. And that's important

790
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: to say that every day, if you're an entrepreneur, it's

791
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: a work day, you know, and you can't. And the

792
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: thing that's stunned me a little a lot was that

793
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,759
Speaker 1: I was getting responses back and it was not from

794
00:44:57,840 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: low level people. So they have that same mentality. And

795
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 1: that's why I just wanted to give that an example

796
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: of you know, when people think that you reach a

797
00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 1: certain title, or you reach a certain ownership level, that

798
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 1: you stopped working, you don't because that passion that got

799
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: you there has to stay there consistently or you'll fall

800
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: off the block. And that's what I was doing Sunday morning,

801
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: you know, before the football games came up, before going

802
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 1: to church, before eating breakfast, I was in my office

803
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,879
Speaker 1: just casually, just just talking to people, just telling them

804
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: about money making conversation, inviting them on my show as

897
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: But I always possessed the challenge of art, like it

898
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: was something I like to do in my free time. Um,

899
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:48,000
Speaker 1: you know. And I guess towards your senior year of

900
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,320
Speaker 1: high school is when everybody starts to get tattooed. So

901
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: that's when people would like start asking in a sketch

902
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: their tattoo ideas. But my passion in high school is

903
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: really math. I was always really really good at that.

904
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't I wasn't always the best student. UM. I

905
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,919
Speaker 1: was more focused on, you know, just drawing and things

906
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,440
Speaker 1: like that. But my my A C two scores what

907
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: actually got me into college. So I graduated with a

908
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: regular GP A. I think I had like a two

909
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 1: point and when I graduated, but I ended up scoring

910
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: I think a twenty nine or A thirty in the

911
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:22,760
Speaker 1: math department. UM uh, thank you. Yeah, the math department

912
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 1: on the act. So I actually ended up getting showsen

913
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: for a scholarship program that was for UM students of

914
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,359

916
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 1: And we had to go through a transition program UM

917
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,960
Speaker 1: in order to get the scholarships. I completed. Transition program

918
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 1: was like summer school, and that's when I ended up

919
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,719
Speaker 1: getting my scholarship of mathematics. And I went on to

920
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:53,360
Speaker 1: study math education. And that is where I began tattooing

921
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 1: in my dorm room. I had so much free time

922
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,879
Speaker 1: during summer school. Um, I just ordered up the kids.

923
00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: So I was, you know, like I halfway tattoo artists

924
00:52:01,719 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 1: and a HALFWAYE come tell you so that you cannot

925
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: now in college, I was making pizza in my dorm room.

926
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: So so please don't act like just just I just

927
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 1: thought tattooed. How did you gain the confidence, because you know,

928
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 1: this is something that's very compiling, didn't vary, something permanent.

929
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:26,160
Speaker 1: How did you gain the confidence in yourself first of all,

930
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: and then the potential clients that would allow you to

931
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 1: tattoo them. Well, you know, I was honestly, I was fearless.

932
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: And that's one thing when you're eighteen and you know,

933
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: you go away from home for the first time, all

934
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:44,200
Speaker 1: the people there was just something in the air. I

935
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: was literally fearless. I didn't overthink it. I didn't think

936
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 1: about the consequences. I could have gotten a lot of trouble.

937
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 1: But you know, there were only thirty five students chosen

938
00:52:55,440 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: for this transition program college program, and we automatically got

939
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: to the closed. So when I ordered that kid, they

940
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,040
Speaker 1: just trusted me. I don't know why, but they just

941
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 1: they just let me practice on them and don't practice.

942
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: Please consider practice no worse than that. They let me

943
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 1: take a risk, right right right. That's awesome, thank you.

944
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 1: But you know, UM, I'm not gonna lie. I had

945
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 1: no business taking that route, but it worked out for me. UM.

946
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,720
Speaker 1: And then by the time the real, the real school

947
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: year started, UM, I was good enough to actually lay

948
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,239
Speaker 1: down some you know, some twenty dollars tattoos. And then

949
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 1: from there I just got better and better and started

950
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 1: working in professional shops and it just took on a

951
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,160
Speaker 1: life of its own. This is very important that UM, Uh,

952
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons I created money making Conversation

953
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 1: just to show this is this is this is a

954
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:54,280
Speaker 1: value that you have that even at a young age.

955
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,719
Speaker 1: I always tell people, people who get it at a

956
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: young age, I feel, are just so amazing. That's why

957
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,360
Speaker 1: at a young age you knew this is what you

958
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: wanted to do, and so you were driven by faith,

959
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:10,000
Speaker 1: by confidence, by I can you can't, the world can't

960
00:54:10,040 --> 00:54:13,360
Speaker 1: stop me. And that's that's that's one of the lynchpins

961
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,360
Speaker 1: to your success. And can you share that value with

962
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: my listeners and my viewers? Yeah, yes, absolutely. Um. People

963
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 1: always asked me, like, you know, what got you into

964
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 1: tattoo and what started you? And that like pointed you.

965
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 1: I felt like it was something that found me, you know,

966
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: like the seconds that I started it, it felt right.

967
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: And you know, even though I had ups and downs

968
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: with you know what I mean, starting in my dorm

969
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: room and practicing, you know, trial and error. UM, I

970
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:42,400
Speaker 1: knew that it was something that I wanted to do.

971
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,239
Speaker 1: So I was gonna, by any means necessary, get good

972
00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: at it. And that required me, you know, walk into

973
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: every local tattoo shop like hey, I want to do this,

974
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, and I got turned down by a lot

975
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 1: of them. But I was very, very persistent, and once

976
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 1: I had my mindset on it, there was nothing that

977
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,359
Speaker 1: was gonna stay. I mean, okay, what did you really

978
00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 1: get your foothold and tattooing? What did you? What? City?

979
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:08,560
Speaker 1: Um in Columbia, Missouri? Okay, and then you transition to

980
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:13,319
Speaker 1: where for Chicago? And that's when you got turned down

981
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 1: a lot. Um. No, I got turned down a lot

982
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 1: while I was in college because okay, small town, small

983
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: college town. And I would walk to those local shops

984
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 1: and I was like, hey, no, I'm do this. I'm

985
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:30,800
Speaker 1: starting with my dorm. And they were like, you're what,

986
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 1: like you can get a lot of Why are you

987
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 1: trying to be a tattoo artist if you're a mass major? Right,

988
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:41,839
Speaker 1: But I want to Chicago. So you're being insulted because

989
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: you were being shut down because you're smart. Though you're smart. Yes,

990
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 1: that's that's funny, that's fun So so you're Chicago. And

991
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:52,479
Speaker 1: so you started to become because once you get on TV,

992
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,879
Speaker 1: you know, social media starts coming in your direction, your

993
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: branch starts growing, you know it say they said, once

994
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 1: you hit over fifty followers in any platform with his Instagram,

995
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: Twitter or Facebook. You are an influencer. How did that

996
00:56:07,200 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: change your role as as a as as not only

997
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: a tattoo talent, but that's a person because now the

998
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: world knows who you are, not only on TV but socially. Yeah,

999
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: you know, before before the TV show, I think I

1000
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,120
Speaker 1: had a I had an okay following. I think had

1001
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 1: like thirty thousand followers, and I would just post tattoos

1002
00:56:28,320 --> 00:56:30,400
Speaker 1: all the time because I wanted to be proved. I

1003
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,720
Speaker 1: didn't post any pictures of myself. You know, I literally

1004
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 1: would post pictures of tattoos all the time because you know,

1005
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: I got rejected by the tattoo orrold so much, you

1006
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:40,960
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So I wanted to prove that

1007
00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 1: I was a great tattoo artist. And I'm taking this seriously.

1008
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: So when we got the platform of the TV show

1009
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: and my following began to grow, it allowed me to

1010
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 1: open up about who I was. So the world got

1011
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:54,719
Speaker 1: to see me tattoo so they know I'm a great

1012
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: tattoo artist. Now I get to show the world who

1013
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 1: I am and share my story that I am a

1014
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:02,080
Speaker 1: regular girl from sure Cargo who went to a university,

1015
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 1: who started like this and really, you know, show the

1016
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 1: world who I am. So it just allowed me to

1017
00:57:08,120 --> 00:57:10,399
Speaker 1: really open up about myself and reach out to other

1018
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:13,359
Speaker 1: girls and you know, other young men and just other

1019
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:16,440
Speaker 1: people like me and really share my story. And that

1020
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:20,480
Speaker 1: has been effects on people. You know, people wanna get

1021
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 1: to know the person you know behind the ink and

1022
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,440
Speaker 1: whatever you do. So it definitely allowed me to I

1023
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: love it because I love it because when I hear

1024
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: your voice, I hear a certain genuine um uh mentorship.

1025
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: You know that you're willing to share. You wouldn't have

1026
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: opened up because the reason that I'm really I'm excited

1027
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: about you interviewing yours that you talk about your setbacks,

1028
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: and you didn't let the nose. You didn't let people

1029
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,400
Speaker 1: telling you a pigeonholed you or tell you you put

1030
00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: you in a box. You're supposed to look at a

1031
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,040
Speaker 1: certain word, you're supposed to do a certain thing. To

1032
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: be at tattoo Auder. You took risk, and that's a

1033
00:57:55,840 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: value that a lot of people run from and and

1034
00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 1: you didn't. And you didn't. Why why didn't you run

1035
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: when he told you you you got a math degree?

1036
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 1: Why didn't you need to stop tattooing in the dorm.

1037
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: Why didn't you run? Um? You know, I'm I'm very

1038
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: very strong in my face and um, I'm just a

1039
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: strong deliver. When when something fills right, you can't ignore that.

1040
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: If you're doing something you know that is not um

1041
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: what God has for you, it doesn't sit right with you.

1042
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: If that makes sense, like it, when you're following your

1043
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 1: purpose and walking in the right path, Guy shows you

1044
00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 1: signs that it's what you're supposed to be doing. So tattooing,

1045
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:46,760
Speaker 1: just from day one, I knew that it was what

1046
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 1: I was supposed to be doing. So there was no

1047
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: man or no thing that could serve me away from

1048
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: what my purpose was. We're gonna come back in a minute.

1049
00:58:56,160 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about your art shows, your tattoo clients,

1050
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:04,640
Speaker 1: and your clothes. On money making conversations. Hey, just Ra

1051
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: Sean McDonald. I'm on the phone or she's on the

1052
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: phone with all the Los Angeles Katak. She's one of

1053
00:59:11,360 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: the start reality stars on the Viage one series of

1054
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 1: Chicago Black Ink. And I got on the phone and

1055
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 1: really because she's a math she studied math in college

1056
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 1: and I have a degree in math, so you know,

1057
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: there was a mutual kinship and amazing level respect. But

1058
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to go back a little bit about tattoos.

1059
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: So sometimes people think tattoo just suddenly started. Currently, I'm

1060
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 1: a big fan of the Vikings on the History Channel,

1061
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 1: one of my favorite TV shows. If you look at

1062
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 1: that TV show, everybody got tattooed. Everybody got tattooed on

1063
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: Viking because tattoosn't just start last week. So it's an

1064
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 1: art form that has a lot of history and a

1065
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: lot of and tattoos also retired to spirit, to faith,

1066
00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: so it's a lot of things that people aren't aware of.

1067
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: White people get tattoos, and there's always a great story

1068
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: behind every tattoo. Correct tattoo um I would say about

1069
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: about fifty fifty. I think some people get tattoos for

1070
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: the sentimental, you know, or for spiritual reasons. And I

1071
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 1: think that especially now. I think people are just big

1072
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: fans of the artwork, and a lot of people like

1073
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: to collect the art because they're all bodies. They are

1074
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 1: they all bodies of art, you know, and that's that's

1075
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 1: an amazing thing. So so it's interesting you said that

1076
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 1: about you know, some people get it on faith and

1077
01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,920
Speaker 1: some people just get it, you know, just I want tattoo? Okay,

1078
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: is there a waiting period? Now we're getting into the

1079
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,080
Speaker 1: tattoo word. Is there a waiting period to get at tatted?

1080
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 1: If I just came in and say I want to

1081
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 1: eagle on my chest? Do you say, hey, hey, hey, wait,

1082
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 1: come back tomorrow? What is how is that? How's that

1083
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: process of getting the tattoo? How does that work? Um? Well,

1084
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: there are so many amazing tattoo artists out there today,

1085
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 1: and um, if you really really want a big tattoo

1086
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:03,000
Speaker 1: or you know, anything, then I would recommend doing your

1087
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: research from finding a great artist that you like. And

1088
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 1: the chances are, you know, if they're great artists, they're

1089
01:01:08,160 --> 01:01:09,960
Speaker 1: going to have a small waiting list or a big

1090
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: waiting list. I know artists that are booked up for years,

1091
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: and then I know, um, artists that are you know,

1092
01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: booked up for a couple of weeks. But the chances are,

1093
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:21,959
Speaker 1: you know that there is going to be a small

1094
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 1: waiting less. Okay, what is your client list? Because I

1095
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 1: know people listen, Okay, who is she and tatted? Who

1109
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: the Super Bowls. There you got the Super Bowl rain

1110

Speaker 1: and everything. So but yeah, I tattooed uh Shane Ray.

1111
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 1: We did a huge backpiece on him and that actually

1112
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: got picked up. That was all over espn UM because

1113
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: people with the Denver Broncos and he had just won

1114
01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:33,640
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with the Broncos. But he's from Kansas City,

1115
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: so he got a Kansas City backpiece, and um, there

1116
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:40,440
Speaker 1: was a Kansas City Chief logo incorporated in that. So

1117
01:02:41,520 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 1: like the Twitter fans like, you know, ripped him apart. Uh, yeah,

1118
01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. I didn't. I was not expecting that outcome.

1119
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm just you know, doing the tattoo. But I woke

1130
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:36,200
Speaker 1: painting a little different than tattooings. Taptooing, you're providing a

1131
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: service for someone else. You know, I have to be

1132
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 1: persive and what I'm painting is when I can just

1133
01:03:41,040 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 1: kind of release whatever is in my mind, whatever I'm feeling,

1134
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, um, and there's room for you know, there's

1135
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: no pressure like if I you know, there's not that

1136
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 1: pressure of messing. Uh not that there is a tattoos

1137
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: because I'm professional, but you know, um, it's my expression,

1138
01:03:58,160 --> 01:04:00,960
Speaker 1: my creativity, so it's a little bit a friend. UM.

1139
01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 1: And I actually started painting, um after I started tattooing.

1140
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 1: Like I said, I've always drawn and you know, sketched

1141
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 1: and things like that, but um, I got into painting

1142
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 1: more um a few years ago, and I've been having

1143
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: a few r shows just to you know, show the

1144
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: world that we can buy your art. We can buy

1145
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:21,880

1146
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 1: a show here in Los Angeles a couple of months ago.

1147
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: I was called Model Type, and um, I sold half

1148
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,600

1152
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:42,080

1177
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 1: Like in Chicago. The show is based off Chicago, and

1178
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think that's not to say that's where

1179
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: it ends, but there's just so much more opportunity past

1180
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,600
Speaker 1: the TV show and you know, with my art and

1181
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 1: with my talent, like I don't want to get um,

1182
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,680
Speaker 1: you know, caught up in the fifteenth minute of things,

1183
01:06:20,800 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 1: you know, like I'm here for to extend that and

1184
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, to really really um make my art have

1185
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 1: a lasting impression. And in l A, it's just so

1186
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: much opportunity to grow, and I mean the opportunity out

1187
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: here is just really really endless. So I chose to

1188
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: move out here and you know, see where I can

1189
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:42,720
Speaker 1: really take it. Okay, So it's just just asking transitional.

1190
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 1: You know, you you you you, you know, you know

1191

1193

1216
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 1: seem easy, but I try to be an open book

1217
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 1: because I have gone through so many different ups and

1218
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 1: downs with you know, deciding to leave college. I stayed

1219
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: in college and waste so much money and you know,

1220
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 1: loans and for three years before I decided that I

1221
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 1: was gonna put a dent into text and then then

1222
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 1: with that, you know, I'm a regular girl. I've dealt

1223
01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:23,719
Speaker 1: with the relationship problems. I've dealt with, you know, moving

1224
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 1: across the country and losing all your money. You know.

1225
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 1: Not every art so that I've had was a huge success,

1226
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:33,640
Speaker 1: but I've had a plan. I've had end goal. So

1227
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 1: as long as you stay focused on that end goal,

1228
01:08:35,800 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna have ups and downs, but as long as

1229
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:42,400
Speaker 1: you keep going, it's okay, you know. So, so that's

1230
01:08:42,479 --> 01:08:44,600
Speaker 1: important for me as well to just show like you know,

1231
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,640
Speaker 1: it's not always going to be a smooth ride. You

1232
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: will go through things, but you can keep going. Don't

1233
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:51,639
Speaker 1: let it knock you off your track and just keep

1261
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:41,519
Speaker 1: money making conversation movement. I'm national. You know what I'm saying. Uh,

1262
01:10:42,479 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 1: you know social media influence. So I got a fair

1263
01:10:45,320 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 1: club almost a half million. You know, come on it,

1264
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 1: the deal trades. I'm just gonna let you know. This

1265
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 1: is that, um, you know, being a fan, you know,

1266
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:55,960
Speaker 1: because you know we're in the business and we might

1267
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:59,160
Speaker 1: not ever see, but you just track people's success. And

1268
01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,560
Speaker 1: you've been and being a female, it's even more important

1269
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 1: that I see what you do in your your African

1270
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:07,719
Speaker 1: American female. I see what you do in your different

1271
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:11,679
Speaker 1: layers and the versatility, and and this shows about asking

1272
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 1: people to step out of their comfort zone. That's what

1273
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,120
Speaker 1: this shows about. As an entrepreneur, as a people who

1274
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,720
Speaker 1: sit around, they put so much on faith then and

1275
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,360
Speaker 1: then when faith, when faith fails them because they put

1276
01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 1: out and they put out in their effort, then they

1277
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 1: just give up. So I want to bring up just

1278
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 1: a short transition that you did TV, not just regular TV.

1279
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,080
Speaker 1: You know you had never done that in your life. Wait,

1280
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: what are we talking about? The on camera side of TV?

1281
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: The on camera side of TV? Rishawn? You know, Okay,

1282
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 1: So talk about stepping outside of your comfort zone. Okay,

1283
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 1: let me just tell you. Okay, for you know, I

1284
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:58,600
Speaker 1: started producing, and so the whole time I was producing,

1285
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:00,679
Speaker 1: like people would kind of offer for me little things.

1286
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 1: They'd be like, you know, okay, what if you played

1287
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:05,599
Speaker 1: you know, so and So's wife. You know, we need

1288
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 1: somebody play so and so's wife. You know, we need

1289
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:09,799
Speaker 1: an actress, we need somebody to play so and So's

1290
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: girlfriend love and just what. And I would always be like,

1291
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:17,879
Speaker 1: oh no, I'm not that chick. I'm behind the scenes.

1292
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm behind the scenes. I'm behind the scenes. And so um,

1293
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: and that's always again that was my comfort zone, like

1294
01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:28,439
Speaker 1: where I felt comfortable and stuff. And so finally, you know,

1295
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, I think this is just you know, this

1296
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:34,479
Speaker 1: is just God who had another plan for me, you know,

1297
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:37,880
Speaker 1: another aspect of my career. Um. You know, of course

1298
01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 1: I meet Dion Sanders, and so I become his producer

1299
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 1: of his reality TV shows. And so then we start

1300
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, dating and seeing each other step And this

1301
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: happened before we sold the show. And so by the

1302
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: time we went out to sell the show, you know,

1303
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 1: everybody in the industry kind of knew that we were

1304
01:13:01,439 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 1: a couple, and so I'm pitching this show as the

1305
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: producer that's going to cover Dion's life as a single

1306
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:11,439
Speaker 1: parent dad, and then you know, trying to just hope

1307
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 1: everybody in the room doesn't understand that I'm part of

1308
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: the equation. And so they're like, well, okay, well what

1309
01:13:19,040 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: about you being on camera? And I'm like, oh no,

1310
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,519
Speaker 1: I don't do that. I'm just producing. And they're like, well,

1311
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 1: Tracy and Dion, if we're going to cover Dion's life,

1312
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: we're not covering it without including you, you know, on camera.

1313
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 1: So really, you know, I kind of got stuck into

1314
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: like jumping in and being on camera and stuff, and

1315
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: so I kind of said, well, if I do this,

1316
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,640
Speaker 1: it's only going to be like a little cameo you know,

1317
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:45,519
Speaker 1: every now and then and stuff. And so but when

1318
01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:49,200
Speaker 1: you know it like, we really shot dion show authentically,

1319
01:13:49,520 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, we did not scripted. We were shooting it

1320
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 1: in real time as things were going down. And as

1321
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 1: part of that, you know, I was really you know,

1322
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 1: part of everything you know going on in his life

1323
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 1: and stuff, and so in order to be authentic, I

1324
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 1: had to go on camera. And so, um so that

1325
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 1: was my first venture into being on camera. Was doing

1326
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 1: Dion Show for three seasons and then um, wouldn't you

1327
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: know I go on to Extra a daily show daily. Yes, yes,

1328
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 1: we're sure, I'll go on to promote UM Dion's Family Playbook,

1329
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,479
Speaker 1: you know, and Mario Lopez is interviewing me about Dion's

1330
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:32,400
Speaker 1: Family Playbook, and so I'm being interviewed as his guest,

1331
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:34,800
Speaker 1: you know, on Extra and stuff. And so I'm talking

1332
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:37,640
Speaker 1: about the show and stuff. And then you know, right

1333
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:40,919
Speaker 1: as I finished the interview, they're like, um, our executive

1334
01:14:40,920 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 1: producer wants to talk to you, and I'm like about

1335
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 1: what They're like, just just you know, just talk to her.

1336
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:50,839
Speaker 1: So then that was Lisa grigori Ish, who's the executive producer.

1337
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 1: First Lisa g Okay, yes, you know her as Lisa

1338
01:14:55,880 --> 01:15:01,360
Speaker 1: G is the best, the best, She's she's she's so animated.

1339
01:15:01,479 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 1: You know, she's doing a kickboxing move right in front

1340
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 1: of you. Go, okay, she had a dress on all right,

1341
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: now she just do a kickboxing move on you because

1342
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:12,200
Speaker 1: she's just so patching it. So you you were going

1343
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 1: to lose that conversation going in. I sure was, because

1344
01:15:17,320 --> 01:15:20,600
Speaker 1: um I went I went to meet with her and

1345
01:15:21,160 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: again going, look, you know, I don't do this. I

1346
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:26,520
Speaker 1: think you've got me confused. I don't have any experience

1347
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: hosting or whatever. And so she's like, Tracy, I know

1348
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 1: your career. Just be yourself. So I literally rashawn I

1349
01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,639
Speaker 1: turned the job down a couple of times. And then

1350
01:15:35,720 --> 01:15:39,080
Speaker 1: I was talking to Dion and was like you that

1351
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 1: you actually was talking to the wrong person, because that's

1352
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 1: Captain Fearless and you know I'm just doing just do

1353
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:49,600
Speaker 1: a little side note about Dion, Dion Sanders, you know

1354
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 1: prime time, that's what we're talking about. And because to me,

1355
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: he invented branding as far as I always tell him that,

1356
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 1: because as a high school student he understood how to

1357
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 1: market himself. And so you were standing next to a

1358
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:06,599
Speaker 1: brilliant marketeer. So you you're trapped now you Diana, stand

1359
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: just on this side. Mr. I don't turned out nothing.

1360
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: I believe in myself. You can do whatever Guard allows

1361
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:14,800
Speaker 1: you to do. Just believe in yourself. And Lisa G.

1362
01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,599
Speaker 1: So you had to take the gig, yes, sir, okay.

1367
01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:33,760

Speaker 1: enters her office and he's like, you know, I'm Dion, Lisa.

1369
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: You know, you and I are gonna talk. Casey's hang

1370
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:44,960
Speaker 1: out on the lobby for a little bit. So he

1371
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:49,080
Speaker 1: as my manager. That was a dream come true Ford,

1372
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:52,719
Speaker 1: to be a manager, a manager or a true talent,

1373
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, so you made his

1374
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: career right there. He handled he handled business rashan and

1375
01:17:00,080 --> 01:17:02,880
Speaker 1: so you know, so you know, make a long story short,

1376
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 1: you know, I end up taking it and I was

1377
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:06,600
Speaker 1: the co host of the extra for three years and

1378
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 1: I've been in mid June, and it was fun. It

1379
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 1: was good, and it was it was great because you know,

1380
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, because I brought Steve Harvard many times up

1381
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,919
Speaker 1: there and to do the show in Los Angeles, Universal

1382
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 1: and um who was always impressed with your professionalism, but

1383
01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 1: also the fact that you knew both sides of the camera.

1384
01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 1: So whenever you talk during an interview, you you could

1385
01:17:29,800 --> 01:17:32,679
Speaker 1: just see wheels turning because you could any talent, any

1386
01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 1: direct or anybody did you talk to you understood truly

1387
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 1: their story. Oh you know what, and I appreciate that.

1388
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: It's i mean, having been in the business for such

1389
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 1: a long time, you know, and I used to manage also,

1390
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 1: so I managed actors and actresses and stuff. So I

1391
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:53,759
Speaker 1: definitely understood their play and their journey and their psyche.

1392
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:57,920
Speaker 1: And so that's why, you know, it's really cool, you know,

1393
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:00,360
Speaker 1: to be able to interview, especially people that I had

1394
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 1: actually worked with before, and so I really really love

1395
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:08,160
Speaker 1: that and um and then also to it really trained

1396
01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: me on, you know, how to be in front of

1397
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 1: the camera. So like having to do that for three

1398
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 1: years and and do it under pressure too. It's like,

1399
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:17,720
Speaker 1: you know, especially when I was doing the you know,

1400
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: the award shows and yeah, I mean my my first assignment,

1401
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 1: Rashaan was covering me INNY and I had no experience,

1402
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 1: and so Lisa g as soon as that contract, she

1403
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 1: was like, okay, girl, go and cover the INNY and

1404
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,560
Speaker 1: I would like what I was like, I don't know

1405
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. And so she's like, again, just be yourself,

1406
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:41,000
Speaker 1: just ask whatever questions you want to ask, and you know,

1407
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: and so I did that. So they kind of threw me,

1408
01:18:43,320 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: threw me out there. Now let's talk about why I

1409
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:49,840
Speaker 1: really brought you on the show. It's all right now,

1410
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:53,719
Speaker 1: you leaning on this big old blue ball, okay, healthy,

1411
01:18:53,800 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 1: well at that little parallel angle. You know, you can't

1412
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:58,800
Speaker 1: even use that picture to promote it because you you

1413
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:01,880
Speaker 1: at an angle. You know, go to your website. So

1414
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 1: you know, I really really wanted to talk about that

1415
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 1: because what I hear your voice, I hear you see

1416
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 1: your career. I know you've been told no, and I

1417
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: know people have made suggestion to you and you resisted it.

1418
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:19,040
Speaker 1: You resisted and people saw more in you than you saw.

1419
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 1: I thought you could do and accomplished. So that's what

1420
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 1: this shows about. It's about being able to reach into

1421
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 1: people and understand their true values and expectations are sometimes

1422
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: they don't even see them, and other people see more

1423
01:19:31,360 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: than you. So you have this site, this health and

1424

Speaker 1: Well okay, So so here I am fifty years old

1440
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: and I started, I started this journey, was shot when

1441
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:36,760
Speaker 1: I was twenty five. And so my dad, you know,

1442
01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:39,880
Speaker 1: bless his heart and rest in peace, who just passed

1443
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 1: away in September when I was twenty five years old.

1444
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:46,680
Speaker 1: He had quadruple by a past heart surgery and so

1445
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 1: four clogged arteries. And you know, I'm twenty five years

1446
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:52,679
Speaker 1: old and I don't know anything at that point about

1447
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 1: health and wellness, and so I'm like, well, how did

1448
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:58,320
Speaker 1: that happen? I'm like, how do you get clogged arteries?

1449
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 1: And so then you know, the doctor's that explaining to

1450
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 1: me high cholesterol, bad diet, you know, and all that

1451
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:07,839
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And that's when I really really started

1452
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:11,920
Speaker 1: reading up on you know, diet and nutrition. And so

1453
01:21:12,200 --> 01:21:15,560
Speaker 1: that day I really made a vow and I, you know,

1454
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:17,720
Speaker 1: I really talked to God and I said, you know what,

1455
01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 1: because my dad this is a life threatening surgery. And

1456
01:21:20,840 --> 01:21:23,200
Speaker 1: so I said, you know, God, if you if you

1457
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:25,120
Speaker 1: get my dad to this, and I know you will,

1458
01:21:25,760 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna really be healthy. You know, I'm

1459
01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 1: going to really make sure I'm healthy. And so I

1460
01:21:32,439 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 1: just dumped, you know, all the fast foods, the processed foods.

1461
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 1: I stopped eating poorly and started reading up on on

1462
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:43,320
Speaker 1: diet and nutrition and exercise and wellness. And that was

1463
01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 1: really like my first day one of my journey and stuff.

1464
01:21:46,080 --> 01:21:49,400
Speaker 1: And so I, you know, from that day on, you know,

1465
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:53,679
Speaker 1: no fast foods. I only eat you know, organic foods

1466
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:57,600
Speaker 1: because you know the other foods they're sprayed with pesticides

1467
01:21:57,680 --> 01:22:00,439
Speaker 1: and stuff, which is really bad for your body and stuff.

1468
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:03,200
Speaker 1: And so and I, you know, I supplement and you know,

1469
01:22:03,400 --> 01:22:06,960
Speaker 1: I have my my go to that I do every morning,

1470
01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 1: Like lemon water is so amazing for your body. It

1471
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 1: builds your immune system, It cleans out all the toxins.

1472
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 1: It gives you clear skin, it gives you clear thought

1473
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 1: and energy. So I do that every morning and throughout

1474
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 1: the day. I have you know, supplements that I take

1475

Speaker 1: and smoothies, and I do yoga and fitness and that

1476
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 1: is really so I'm taking everything that I've learned over

1500
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:49,920
Speaker 1: so many people along the way in my career that

1501
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 1: have said no, no, no, no, And especially being in

1502
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:55,920
Speaker 1: the entertainment industry, you hear you hear the word no,

1503

Speaker 1: your life, you know, it's almost like a miracle when

1505
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: somebody says, yes, we'll buy it. Yes, So but um,

1506
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:09,720
Speaker 1: I've always said no just means find another way. And

1507
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 1: so you know, when someone tells me no, I'm like, okay,

1508
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,600
Speaker 1: all right, well let me regroup, let me kind of

1509
01:24:14,800 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 1: tweak something, and let me go back out there again

1510
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:20,520
Speaker 1: and try it again. And sure enough, that's been successful

1511
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 1: for me. I've had projects that have taken me five years,

1512
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,719
Speaker 1: you know, to to see you know, the big screen,

1513
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 1: or to get to television because so many people have

1514
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:32,320
Speaker 1: told me no. But then finally, you know, I figured

1515
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:35,560
Speaker 1: out the right formula and I get it done. And

1516
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 1: so I think that's that's probably one of the most

1517
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 1: important things. Okay, that's that's we got the entrepreneur, female entrepreneur,

1518
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:44,679
Speaker 1: now the single mom the domains. How were you able

1519
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,839
Speaker 1: to balance that because you know, we're talking about nutrition,

1520
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,439
Speaker 1: we're talking about standards, shape, We're talking about all these things.

1521
01:24:50,479 --> 01:24:52,920
Speaker 1: And also in the era that we live in, you know,

1522
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 1: because as a parent, being a parent myself, you know,

1523
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 1: you're so paranoid. Oh yeah, you just turn on TV

1524
01:24:57,560 --> 01:24:59,560
Speaker 1: and you've got social media. Can't control your kids. I

Speaker 1: is so worth it and I mean, my joy, you know,

1540
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:57,360
Speaker 1: every day working was knowing that I was coming home

Speaker 1: to see my kids at the end of the day.

Speaker 1: there and my job. Kudos to you, because it's hard.

1547
01:26:16,720 --> 01:26:18,680
Speaker 1: It's hard. It's hard. So so when I when I

1548
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 1: look at all these things you've done all right, now

1549
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 1: there's a business model tied to health and wellness. How

1550
01:26:27,040 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 1: do you get in this business of trying to say,

1551
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:32,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start this portal and how do you aggregate

1552
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:34,719
Speaker 1: all the information you're trying to do into this site

1553
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 1: so an everyday person can understand it? Well? You know what, Rashaan,

1554
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:43,000
Speaker 1: You know, I almost have to give it to God

1555
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 1: because it's like it's like everything that I put into

1556
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:49,800
Speaker 1: this site, you know, just kind of flowed out of me,

1557
01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:52,840
Speaker 1: and so I had a vision to do this site

1558
01:26:53,680 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 1: about a year ago, and so well a little over

1559
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:59,280
Speaker 1: a year ago is before my mom passed away, and

1560
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:02,720

01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 1: my life to pay it forward, to give back, to

1563
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 1: share what I've learned along the way with other people,

1564
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 1: because I have so many people that are always emailing

1565
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 1: me and tweeting me and saying, hey, do you ever

1607
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:36,959
Speaker 1: a gift to be able to, you know, just reshape

1608
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:40,479
Speaker 1: things and redirect and motivate. And when I look at

1609
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:43,200
Speaker 1: the site, I go and because there's so many people,

1610
01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:45,439
Speaker 1: this is the direction there's so many people are going

1611
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:49,439
Speaker 1: in their lives nowadays, you know, you know, the the

1613
01:29:53,600 --> 01:29:55,760
Speaker 1: And when I see you. When I saw this site,

1614
01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:58,840
Speaker 1: I immediately told my program director Day I said, we

1615
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 1: gotta get on the show. I want on the premier

1616
01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:03,599
Speaker 1: show because I know your life. I know your life

1617
01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:07,280
Speaker 1: has been always about you know, people telling you you

1618
01:30:07,360 --> 01:30:09,320
Speaker 1: look a certain way, you're supposed to do a certain things.

1619
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:11,400
Speaker 1: Like you said, you're trying to be a producer. People

1620
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:14,880
Speaker 1: trying to get you the what I'm saying as a misdirection,

1621
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:17,280
Speaker 1: you was what I want to do. But did they

1622
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:19,519
Speaker 1: get to upon your life where you had you had

1623
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:23,160
Speaker 1: created the resume that you were comfortable. You were comfortable

1624
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:25,320
Speaker 1: with making that transition because you don't have to prove anything,

1625
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:29,120
Speaker 1: and I always you have to prove it that they

1626
01:30:29,120 --> 01:30:31,200
Speaker 1: I always tell people your goal in life is for

1627
01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:35,000
Speaker 1: your resume and the things that you hype to intersect

1628
01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 1: and when you walk in the room, you can be yourself.

1629
01:30:37,479 --> 01:30:40,360
Speaker 1: And when I look at you, Tracy, and we joked about, uh,

1630
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 1: you're being fifty and looking fantabulous, you know, and all

1631
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:46,719
Speaker 1: the successes. But that's what you're the point in life

1632
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:50,799
Speaker 1: where you're sharing. You're sharing your values and your success.

1633
01:30:51,160 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 1: Because you easily talked about being a parent, You easily

1634
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,959
Speaker 1: talked about being an entrepreneur. You talked about the setbacks

1635
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,479
Speaker 1: and people telling you know, and you just going, no,

1636

Speaker 1: that's not gonna stop me. That's not gonna stop me.

1637
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 1: And now you got this site because that's why I

1638
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:08,280
Speaker 1: started money making conversations because everybody want me to mentor

1639
01:31:08,360 --> 01:31:12,240
Speaker 1: that everybody, Oh yeah, And it's like, I mean, having

1640
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:15,000
Speaker 1: a site like this is really the best way for

1641
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 1: me to share information because it really is coming from

1642
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:21,840
