Speaker 1: Season thirty six season of Survivor. You have been wanting

97

Speaker 1: to do this show for a long time. Tell us

98
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: why So? I've always been um kind of a well

99
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,280
Speaker 1: growing up, I like to build like tree houses and

100
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: you know, play around in my parents backyard. And I

101
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: guess about ten years ago, I started watching this show Survivor,

102
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: and I'm like, man, it's it looks like a difficult show,

103
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 1: but it looks like a show that I could put

104
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: all of my talents two And it looks like a

105
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: show I could do pretty well at because I'm I

106
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: was pretty smart, pretty athletic, I played a lot of sports,

107
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: pretty social, have a lot of friends, And I'm like, man,

108
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: this game requires all those abilities, so maybe I could

109
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: maybe I could try my hand at it. Okay, cool,

110
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 1: So so let's let's let's the stage has been set.

111
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: We know he's smart five Beta Kappa at the incredible

112
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Mallhouse College and at Latin George y'all okay, law school

113
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: at University of Pennsylvania. He talking to Okay, we know

114
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: he did you get around. So now he's been wanting

115
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: to do this for like ten years. So he was

116
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: looking at you. So there was a planned action. You

117
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: you just like didn't stumble up on this so well?

118
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: You rejected several times? Did you apply several times? Explain

119
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: tell us about that? So at Morehouse I learned the

120
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: saying proper preparation prevents poor performance. Right. So I've been

121
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 1: watching the show for years and wanting to get on

122
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: the show. So as I watched it, I was taking

123
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 1: notes for years on a strategy, how I would play,

124
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: how I would react to certain situations, what have you?

125
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: And I started started up playing, I'd say, like seven

126
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: years ago. And over the years I sent in many

127
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: application videos. I went to live contings. I never got

128
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: it through. Like, uh, when I was out of law school,

129
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: I was clerking for a few judges in Philly. I

130
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: never got it. I had my shoeing turn on. I

131
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: was clean cut then and I never got it. And

132
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: then finally I'll take this career path change and I'll

133
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: started my own company, and I grew out an unfriend,

134
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: I got my beard, I'm kind of living my full

135
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: life and they finally say we want this version of Window,

136
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: we want you to come on the show. So that

137
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: I think it was the preparation and also the persistence

138
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: and me not giving up and me continuing to apply

139
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: and apply and apply. Well, I think also the fact

140
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: that you made a statement there a transition. I feel

141
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: you became who you are today. You know, like you said,

142
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, you didn't come in there, come into could

143
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: this survival? You're on the island, you said you were

144
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: coming in that clean cut. That's a look that don't

145
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: work on That is because you're pulling off your clothes.

146
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: The tide going somewhere, it's not gonna stay on you,

147
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So, so that look right there.

148
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: They said, well, he we like him, but I don't

149
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: really think he get it because they want you to survive.

150
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: Because I'm a big fan of these shows. Another one

151
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: of my favorite shows, Naked and Afraid. I love that show.

152
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: Oh I love that show. Now you get on that

153
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: show window, Now you're gonna be the real I think,

154
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: I think trying to start a fire. And I'm saying

155
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: so so so, I appreciate the fact that you're showing

156
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: everybody that even in this television show, you had to

157
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: put in preparation, you had to examine and have a

158
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: plan of action. And the key thing you said was persistency.

159
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: And also what you said was key to me and

160
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: hearing this process is that you made a transition in

161
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: your life. Let's talk about that, because you're doing everything

162
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: that people tell you to do. I used to work

163
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: for IBM before I became a stand up comic, and

164
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: before I did, I left for stand up comic. I

165
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: became a sitcom writer when I love a sitcom right.

166
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: I became a television producer. Then I became a manager

167
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: of talent. So that's a lot of transitions. And people

168
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: always tell me, man, you know how to reinvent yourself,

169
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: and I just tell people, I'm not afraid to step

170
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: out there, tell us about your personality windows. You can't

171
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: be afraid to step out there. You can't be afraid

172
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: to take risks and and you know, take a leap

173
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: of faith. Um calculated risks though, like, uh, I'm not

174
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: just I'm not just doing something off of a whim.

175
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: I had um when I was clerking for a few

176
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: judges in Philly. I was in civil courts, when I

177
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 1: was in family court, and I needed a bed for

178
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: myself and on my salary. I point, these nice are

179
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: high end beds that I really that I really wanted,

180
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: So I decided to build my own bed um and

181
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: it was. It was a beautiful piece of furniture, and

182
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: I was like, man, I have a gift right here.

183
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: This is something that I can do. And then at

184
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: the time, I started building more beds on the side.

185
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,599
Speaker 1: While I was still clerking and working hard, you know,

186
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: nine to five, I started building beds and other kinds

187
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: of furniture and selling it on the side. So I'm like,

188
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: you know what, this is something that fulfills me. This

189
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: is something that I love doing. I'm using my creative

190
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: um gifts and I'm being entrepreneurial, so maybe this is

191
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,599
Speaker 1: something Maybe this might be my paint. So then the

192
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: final h that I clerked for retired in UH, and

193
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: I I was like, man, this might be the perfect opportunity. Um.

194
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: My opportunity finally met my preparation, my building this business

195
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: on the side, and so finally I decided to go

00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: full force and create this furniture company where I can

197
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 1: have a creative outlet. I could be the artist that

198
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,120

Speaker 1: going online to find out how to build? To be?

208
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: So okay, I've always been good with my hands. Let's

209
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: start off. I should have said that first. I've always

210
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: been good with my hands. I've been able to kind

211
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: of build things. My dad. Uh my dad is an attorney.

212
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 1: He's a retired attorney, but growing up he always had

213
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 1: me helping him do things like frame out the basement

214
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: drying wall, you know. So I've always been handed and

215
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: um and so I I found all these random pieces

216
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: of wood and different things that I kind of pieced

217
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: it together to make what I call this like patchwork

218
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: style headboard with like many pieces of wood, and then

219
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: I stayed the whole thing. And that has been my

220
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: aesthetic as far as my as my pieces has been

221
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: like kind of patchwucky. We used to reclaimed wood and

222
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: we learned with so there's like this reused element. It's

223
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:44,599
Speaker 1: a recycled element that's uh environmentally friendly deconstantly element to

224
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: my company, where we we take you know, what might

225
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: be considered junk, like, well we'll tear down a barn.

226
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: The tansition really really good, which is really really good

227
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: strong wood have survived the weather. I have to ask

228
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: you this. Now you are there's a sets for laws

229
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,200

Speaker 1: I would actually get let alone get fur and let

240
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,840

00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: lot of luck. In my seat, there was a lot

262
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: of God. It was God's plan for me to get

263
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,559
Speaker 1: through a lot of things, and I found my way

264
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: to the top. I found my way to the end

265
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: and I got it done. What was the prize money?

266
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: What what did you do? Man? Man? So the prize

267
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: money was a million dollars and um that was that

268
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 1: was a great tex to get. But what I've done is, um,

269
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: I talked to my father. We we filmed like a

270
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: year ago, and then it took like found months to air,

271
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: so I kind of I kind of had a good

272
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: feeling that although they then reveal the win live, you know,

273
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,719
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, I had a good

274
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: feeling that I had won. So I went home and

275
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: I told one person. I talked to my dad and

276
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 1: I said, Hey, Dad, I think I might I think

277
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: I might have got the job done out there. Can

278
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: you give me some advice on how to invest this money,

279
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: because I don't want to be one of these guys

280
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: that gets a big check and blows it. So he

281
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: took me to his financial planner. Um. They it's like

282
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: an investment group called the Pennsylvania Trust, and he kind

283
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: of introduced me to those guys. But then finally thoughtscorn

284
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: to when I finally win and get the check. I went, Um,

285
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 1: I took the million dollar check right to this company,

286
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: and I invested it, and so now I am fully

287
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: invested in a diversity stock portfolio. It shouldn't it shouldn't

288
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: stocks just watching it roll off that stock it's on

289
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: fire right now. That's it. That's it. And so in April,

290
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: in April, I'm gonna take a big hit and I

291
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: gotta pay the about that's a big hit. But until then,

292
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: at least that that amount of money is still gonna

293
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: ac cruel interest. You go talk to a tax planner,

294
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: get your fine benefit plan. I'm telling fine benefit plan.

295
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 1: You can take that four hundred and put it in

296
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: there and you don't pay them nothing. Okay, Okay, just

297
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: just think this out. A lot of people think you

298
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: gotta pay taxes and everything, and that's there there, there's

299
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: strategic strategic angles of this is legitimate. I don't. I

300
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 1: don't give our bad advice to my show unless it's

301
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: a lifestyle that I participate in. But don't feel that

302
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: you can give away that whole four hundred thousand. Okay, alright,

303
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: So define benefit plan. Okay, it's something you have to

304
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: keep up going. But you you you got a business,

305
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: you got a charity engagement, you're dealing with so just

306
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:03,680

317
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: FBI agent, I was aware of home title fraud. There

318
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: was little we could do to stop it. Now there's

319
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: home title lock. This online bank was for closing on us.

320
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: They even had documents that I signed for a home

321
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: equity loan. Only I didn't want a nightmare. I didn't

322
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: have home title lock then, but you bet I haven't now.

00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: how are you well? John? I'm telling you I'm so

364
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: happy to have you back on the show because first

365
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: of all, we've known each other a long time. We've

366
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: actually have You've seen each other's careers are in the

367
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: public and behind the scenes, because I've run into New York.

368
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: You always engaged in some type of activism. That's that's positive.

369
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: But I think that you and I have known each

370
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,239
Speaker 1: other for since I came to Los Angeles. I think

371
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: that was seriously and that when when you first got

372
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 1: there and we and we maintained this positive relationship and uh,

373
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: whenever we saw Joe was always good vibes and just

374
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: to see each other doing our things beyond what we

375
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: first met each other. You know, my manager Steve Harvey's

376
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: career and yours was access Hollywood. And so it's all

377
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: about being able to reinvent yourself. Also being able to

378
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: show that there are are that your talents can be

379
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 1: explored in other things that you want to do, and

380
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: not saying that we weren't doing what we wanted to

381
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: do back then, but there's a there's a certain amount

382
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: of versatility that you're showing with your career now. And

383
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,479
Speaker 1: your platform is really really important to you and uh

384
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: and social media is really important to your brand right now. Correct. Absolutely.

385
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: And you know, remember when I first started an Act

386
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: of Hollywood, and you know this very well, we didn't

387
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: have social media. We didn't have Facebook or Twitter, Instagram, um,

388
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: and so our we were dependent upon other means to

389
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: get our messages out. But now we have control over

390
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: our own message and we can um reach the people

391
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: who support us. Our fans are supporters directly. And it's

392
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: important to you know, keep that conversation going, keep that

393
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 1: engagement going, because these are the people who have supported

394
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: us for so long over the years. And that's really

395
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 1: important because you start to tell your story and and

396
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: and that's that's really important because I'll was youll people

397
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 1: that you know, it took me amad when I stopped

398
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: managing Steve's I didn't know who are us? I didn't

399
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 1: know and people, yeah, you are your your Can you

400
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 1: say that? Because people will follow you a people who

401
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: they have to have a reason, they never have a

402
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: justification and emotion as to why they should follow you

403
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: or like your page, and they have to be a

404
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: consistent brand. And so what was that in your process

405
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: of building out your brand and getting your vosh together Sehn? Well,

406
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 1: you know that's interesting that you say that, because a

407
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: lot of times when we are attached to a name

408
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: or show, like I was attached to the show Access

409
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: Hollywood for sixteen years, and so um, there were times

410
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 1: when I felt even before I left in and you know,

411
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: I thought about leaving, you know, so many times before

412
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 1: and pursuing projects that I was really passionate about, but

413
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: I was thinking would I still be who I am

414
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 1: without this name behind me? And you find that when

415
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: you do take that leap of faith and you expand

416
00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: You're still who you are? Okay, you you were still

417
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: who you are and you are still the person that

418
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: people connect with. So it's about for me, it was

419
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: about stepping out on the face and learning how I,

420
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: you know, continue to build that brand outside of that

421
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: particular name. And um, I was even um, you know,

422
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 1: there was a point on um my social media where

423
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 1: I said, let me take that name off of the

424
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: social media. Okay, let me take that name on, and

425
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: can I detach from that? And that is not to

426
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: say I'm not grateful. I'm extremely grateful for the wonderful,

427
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 1: wonderful sixteen years that I had with the show. I

428
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: met a lot of great people. I met you and

429
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 1: so many other wonderful people through the show. Um, but

430
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: there was more to me and I am, you know,

431
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,359
Speaker 1: finding that out now? And how do I spread my

432
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: wings and how do I step out on face? And

433
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:59,919
Speaker 1: how do I make Sean Robinson the most well ground

434
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: did person that she can be And that that that

435
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: that's a fear, and that's fear that I had to overcome. Fear,

436
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: I'll put it on me. And because of the fact

437
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: that what advice would you give somebody who's saying at

438
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: a job, who's uh in a relationship that they should

439
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: be they should get out of? Because I always tell

440
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: people is more than just a job. When you have

441
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: to change your life, you have to change your whole

442
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: thought process. Sometimes you're in a bad relationship that just

443
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: just dragging you along because you really need to fire

444
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: or quit, just like you need to quit that job.

445
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: What what what? What advice would you give somebody somebody

446
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: to make that transition? Do they plan it out? Do

447
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: they do they just walk away and walk into they

448
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: ab out? Well, yeah, and you know it's easy, listen,

449
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: Let's be real. It's easy to make a change when

450
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: you have the resources to hold you or tied you

451
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: over you know, until you get something else going on.

452
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's easy. Um. But you know, sometimes

453
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: when it comes to a particular job, you may feel, gosh,

454
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: you know, how am I going to make it in

455
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: the meantime? And that's the in the meantime is what

456
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: you have to overcome in terms of your fear about

457
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. So obviously you have to be smart,

458
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: you have to save your money, you have to be strategic, um.

Speaker 1: to your dad picture on there, and then I see

481
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 1: all these others because you know, your goal is to

482
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: create engagement, and so you was at the n A

483
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: b J recently and your engagement was off the chain.

484
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: I was trying, I was trying, and so so what

485
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: was your goal just to teach people? What was the

486
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,119

Speaker 1: going to engage with other celebrities when you were posting.

491
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: What was the process in your post? Well, I try

492
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: to just show people. Um. Number one. Going back to

493
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 1: an h b J, it was in my hometown of Detroit,

494
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: so I definitely wanted to be a part of it.

495
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: And I have not been in a b J the

496
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: National Association of Black Journalist conference in years. I used

497
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: to go there at the beginning of my career, you know,

498
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: had my little resume tapes with me and I would

499
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: go down to each of the booths and have the

500
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: news directors look at my resume shapes and shred them apart,

501
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 1: and you know, big people for jobs, and so I

502
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: hadn't you know, needed to do that in a very

503
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: long time. Um, So this was a chance for me

504
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: to go back and uh, first of all, go back home.

505
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: And I also was asked open or host the opening

506
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 1: night reception for UM for the conference, which was held

507
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: on the Tuesday night before the conference began. And so

508
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,720
Speaker 1: it was just a wonderful time for me to connect

509
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: with people I hadn't seen in a very very long time.

510
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 1: And I always think an excuse to go back home

511
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: to each other because I love the city, and the

512
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: city is on the rise and it's experiencing a renaissance

513
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 1: right now. You know, don't sleep on Detroit, man, I

514
00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 1: mean it is. I mean, that is the comeback city.

515
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: And so in terms of my post, I wanted to

00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: know one thing that I just have to kind of

614
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: be a little groupie about it is when someone that

615
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: I look at like you as a mental figure and

616
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: as a role model. Uh, calls. The first thing you wonder, okay,

617
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 1: is this is down prank call? And then he and

618
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,239
Speaker 1: know it was really your office. So man, I am

619
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,800

620
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: very grateful to have someone with your platform and with

621
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 1: your track record. Uh, just provide the opportunity for me

622
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: to try to bless somebody with what I've learned from

623
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: you and people like you. Well, let's give us some

624
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 1: credit on my side to what you've done for me personally.

625
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: I was not interested in doing the radio show I

626
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 1: ran into in Houston, Texas. I ran into uh ivan

627
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: and a restaurant walked up to every show, How you

628
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: doing do my show? And he has a show on

629
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: at the time, And I said, I don't know. He said,

630
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: come on, man, do the show. People need to hear you.

631
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: People need to hear what you have to say. So

632
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 1: I did this show in Houston, Texas, and Uh, it

633
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: was great, fantastic show. Great. Uh people are lightening up

634
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: the phone called phone lines and everything. And I got off.

635
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 1: When I walked off air, the owners of the station

636
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: was waiting on me. I sat in their office for

637
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 1: two hours. Remember that, and I remember them ambushing you

638
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: is what I remember when you got off and UH

639
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: and they sat down and asked me, and I said, well,

640
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: I said, I do it, I but but I only

641
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: do it for four weeks. I do the show for

642
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: four weeks. That was in May of last year, seventeen

643
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: four weeks. So now we're at the about the uh

644
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: sixteen month mark, and we're still doing money making conversation

645
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: and I'm on the phone with a young man who

646
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: made it all happen as far as get me in.

647
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: And that's why I always tell people you never know

648
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: when your next opportunity will come. To keep an open mind,

649
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: and that that's basically what your career is all about.

650
00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:12,279
Speaker 1: Keeping an open mind. Correct, Yes, sir. But one of

651
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: the biggest things that has UH I've learned from just

652
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: many mentors you, Jleen Ricky, people like Greg Carter and

653
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,360
Speaker 1: people like that, is don't get the big head work

654
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: you're brought off people. There's no such thing as being

655
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: an overnight success. Now, you can screw it up overnight,

656
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:32,759
Speaker 1: even within two or three minutes of running your mouth.

657
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:37,399
Speaker 1: But if you really want durable, lasting success, it's all

658
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: about living your brand and being committed and humble and

659
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: every opportunity that you get, take it serious and make

660
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: the most of it. Let's talk about because I wanted

661
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 1: there's several RILs because we got you for two breaks,

662
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 1: and I want to talk about the tedex moment. Now,

663
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 1: im ted X speakers. Opportunities have you had so far?

664
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: Uh so far there to that are published out there

665
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:03,919
Speaker 1: and they will probably about three more within the next

666
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: twelve months with well, I'll just for it like this, man.

667
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:14,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's rare Rashans that they even get brothers.

668
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 1: Uh not that it hasn't been any of us, but

669
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: we are a very select group and those of us

670
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: who have been um esteemed or fortunate enough to have

671
00:35:27,280 --> 00:35:30,439
Speaker 1: that platform because, as you guys know, if they dept

672
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: the hell out you to be on do a ted

673
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: X and then even when you're in competition, you're in

674
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: competition amongst all these brilliant minds. So just have the

675
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: the opportunity to do something like that is truly truly

676
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: a wonderful experience. Now you have one. You have one

677
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: of your videos that you did know ted X over

678
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: a million views. I remember you were tracking rash check

679
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: this out. I'm a two thousand and have me tell

680
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,760
Speaker 1: us about that experience for taping it. Where was taped

681
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: some of the content and it don't want to give

682
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: away because we want people, we want to drive them

683
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: to go watch it and keep adding to the views.

684
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,719
Speaker 1: But tell us about wherever your tape, how the opportunity

685
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: came about you, and what changes has it caused in

686
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: your life to get a video that has been few

687
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: by over a million people. Oh wow, it's highly significant.

688
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: You know. It's one thing when we put out content

689
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: ourselves and try to optimize it and and and sell it.

690
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: But Teddex doesn't permit you doing any type of stimulation

691
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: that's financial for a teex uh video. But the way

692
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: it took place, long Star was having a the teex

693
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: event here and and the Houston area, and several or

694
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:51,120
Speaker 1: few hundred people applied. I was, I was suggested, and

695
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 1: the next thing I know, you know, they vetted and

696
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: betted and vetted, and I somehow it was very um

697
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: fortunate to make it to the top ten people that

698
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: they selected out of the hundreds of people. From that point,

699
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 1: the uh, you know, I just did my thing talking

700
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: about the laws of attraction and emotional intelligence. Soon thereafter

701
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,839
Speaker 1: they notified me and they said, hey, man, this things

702
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: that eleven thousand, which I was like, what eleven thousand?

703
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: If someone had told me it would be a million

704
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: views within eighteen months, I would have never believed it.

705
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: But I can tell you that what I'm very grateful

706
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: for is that it's opened up opportunities such as this

707
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 1: platform to be on programs like this program I'm on

708
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 1: with you right now, uh, to get the exposure and

709
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: to represent that many of us, meaning men of color,

710
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: we do more than And I'm not knocking brothers that

711
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,600
Speaker 1: catching dribble balls, because that's the gift within itself, but

712
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: there are people like you and me out here that

713
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: use other gifts and other skills sets to um to

714
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: maximize our potential of something called the Taco Bell strategy.

715
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: Now I've never heard that Taco Bell strategy. So this

716
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: is money making conversations. When I read that your your

717
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: your questions for the show, I wanted you to explain

718
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: exactly what is the Taco Bell strategy. It's real simple.

719
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 1: Taco Bell takes ground beef, lettuce, cheese, and a tortilla

720
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: and sometimes they make a burrito, they make a taco,

721
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: They make a tostada. Uh you know Lufa, they make

722
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: all this stuff using the same basic ingredients. Or in

723
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: my practice, I am one of probably sixty or seventy

724
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: master credential NbTi practitioners in the world, and black men,

725
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm probably one of six or seven and again in

726
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: the world. So I use that instrument. I'm an expert

727
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: on personality type. I'm also an expert on new linguistics.

728
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:52,600
Speaker 1: I'm also an expert on relationships. So when I do

729
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: my thing, I make sure that I bring together elements

730
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: that other people have already said. You know what, this

731
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:04,359
Speaker 1: is a proven concept. This has proven science. So it's

732
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: not just my opinion. Because people you need something as

733
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: a base and as a platform to build from the

734
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: other thing. Something I learned from you. I remember you

735
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: shared the story with me once. You said, Doc, I

736
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: wasn't going through a season of my life and they

737
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: were making some decisions and and you said, well, I

738
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: tell you what, I don't really mind the money pay me,

739
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: but let me keep my title. I need my title.

740
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 1: So I've learned the value of a good name number one,

741
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:36,720
Speaker 1: and the value of using key ingredients that are associated

742
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: with my name that I can bring value to that

743
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: brand or to that instrument, and that instrument can add

744
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: value and uh, you know, be somewhat of an implied

745
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: endorsement for my abilities. And and again like it goes

746
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: back to this work hard and know your stuff. You

747
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: know that this Cliff that that story he talked about

748
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: was that, Uh, I just wrapped the uh A season

749
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: on Steve Harvey's first sitcom on ABC called Me and

750
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: the Boys, and Robert Townson hired me to do his

751
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: sitcom on the WB called Parenthood, and I was on

752
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 1: the Steve Harveshaw was an executive story editor. And then

753
00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 1: what they did was when I got hired on Robert

754
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 1: Townson show, they moving back to the staff writer. So

755
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: I actually took a step back. So I said, hey, hey, hey, hey,

756
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: I need my title. I said, you don't have to

757
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,920
Speaker 1: pay me money, just give me titled. I just wanted

758
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: people to assume that I was still moving forward without

759
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: the check associated with it, because a lot of people

760
00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: don't understand that it's about branding. Way back then, I

761
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,959
Speaker 1: understood brands, understood about marketing, understood about perception, and people

762
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 1: perceived that you're moving forward, then I guess what you

763
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: get paid Like you're gonna be moving forward, so I

764
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: already end up. I told him they had never had

765
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: anybody talked to him like that. I said, no, no, no,

766
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: you keep a salary. Just give me my title back.

767
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: They went, oh, let's go to the legal. When they

768
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: came back, look, we'll do it. You're sure now, I said,

769
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: I don't want any money. I just want that title.

770
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 1: And that's what you're saying right now. And that's what

771
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: you're trying to communicate when you talk about doing business,

772
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,480
Speaker 1: and that's why you have the title of the Reality

773
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: Check correct, Yes, sir h Taking that even further, I've

774
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,880
Speaker 1: had you and Maya, Ricky jay Len, and Mayanna. If

775
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 1: you guys don't know who Jayleen McK and Ricky Anderson is,

776
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: you might want to find out. But the thing that

777
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: the three of you taught me is know when to

778
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: exit stage left, meaning is something's not conducive to where

779
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: you're taking your brand. You know, all money ain't good money,

780
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: and all opportunities aren't good opportunities. The other thing that

781
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 1: I learned, uh on the hard way, is to let

782
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: your let other people brag about you, let other people

783
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:44,760
Speaker 1: talk about you. And I'm not saying don't promote yourself.

784
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: There's a difference between promoting yourself and then positioning yourself

785
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 1: to look like you're full of what the bull left

786
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: in the barnyard. So I don't do that anymore. I've

787
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: made sure of that. Uh. I leave a trail, and

788
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 1: that trail is built on things that add value to

789
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: not only my brand, but to whatever opportunity I'll present.

790
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: It is. It's amazing. Let me just clarify. Jay Lee

816
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: on us. They even had documents that I signed for

817
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,520

893
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: I've gotten through the first test of our relationship. Because

894
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: before we move forward into the TV show that's starting

895
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 1: that's airing on on at ten pm on Saturday night,

896
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: does it follow I am Fama another name I can't

897
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:06,279
Speaker 1: say correctly Miss vans as show, and so so when

898
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: you look at that show, because her show is kind

899
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:09,920
Speaker 1: of like a tough love show as well, there's the

900
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 1: air own on Saturday night. Correct that is correct, and

901
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: so but hers is tough low within the family dynamic,

902
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 1: yours is tough love in the business world. Yes, mine

903
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: is all about helping this show mind your business with

904
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: Mikisha and owned. This show that's all about helping black

905
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 1: female based business owners excel um. There's an increase in

906
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 1: the number of black female based businesses. Were on the rise,

907
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: absolutely three that there's an increase of three of us,

908
00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: but only four percent have made it to the million

909
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: dollar mark. Now there's a huge gap there. We have

910
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: the largest growth, but only four percent or less make

911
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:56,759
Speaker 1: it to the million dollar mark. So the goal of

912
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 1: the show has helped to bridge the gap. We're gonna

913
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,440

00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:07,120
Speaker 1: individual companies should excel and succeed. But throughout the show

915
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: in the season, we're also given the tools to the audience,

916
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 1: to viewers for watching it to also take back home

917
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: to implement in their life. Now that now, well show this.

918
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: I like a lot that some people have compared your

919
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,880
Speaker 1: show to her show. You remind me a lot of

920
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 1: a very popular show that I like called The Profit.

921
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: And because you yes, yes, okay, I got to stay

922
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: on the good side. I thought she's about to come ahead.

923
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: You gotta watch the show. Now you can Cheehawn's Pauls

924
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 1: and all the time. Because we live on radio and

925
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 1: you might go into the left on me, I go,

926
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:44,800
Speaker 1: I can't dump button up, but something save my career.

927
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,719
Speaker 1: But the thing about like the prophet, he goes in

928
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: there and he has to do tough love too. And

929
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:54,520
Speaker 1: because some people shouldn't be in business, but they're getting business.

930
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: And some people have a business and guess what, it's

931
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,800
Speaker 1: just barely getting by and it should be way more profitable.

932
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 1: And so when I was when I when I did

933
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 1: my research and started examining what this show was all about,

934
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 1: because you go into the you know, it's very it's

935
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: a very personal experience that you're having with these owners

936
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,920
Speaker 1: of these businesses. Are people who have these ideas of

937
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 1: these concepts that they try to get aflow. So tell

938
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 1: everybody about your show before I get more detail. Everybody

939
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: know exactly what the show does, yes, And you know

940
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: when I when you set the profit, it is exactly that.

941
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 1: It's a mixture of the profit meets the shark tank

942
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: with the sprinkle of thealypics my life. That is really

943
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: the premise of the show. We're fixing people's businesses, coming

944
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: in with a little bit of tough love, a lot

945
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: of tools, a lot of information, a lot of resources.

946
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: There are some investment piece that comes along with some

947
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,319
Speaker 1: of the ladies, like you saw an episode two last

948
00:50:49,600 --> 00:50:53,319
Speaker 1: this past Saturday. UM. So it comes and the help

949
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 1: comes in different forms. Each business owner is in a

950
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: different industry, different state of her business, and it has

951
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: different needs. So every individual episode will be unique. We

952
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 1: can't just do it one, you know, once ize fits

953
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: all approached, So we're meeting them where there are, give

954
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 1: them what they need at that present time to get

955
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: them to and do success. So the mess you said

956
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 1: you're doing this with eight businesses will you Were you

957
00:51:18,280 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: involved in the process of selecting the eight businesses? No,

958
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 1: I was not. UM. There is a team of casting

959
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: UM managers that go after these ladies. They have approached

960
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: and they all had to be obviously African American black

961
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 1: business owner UM that has a legitimate business of course,

962
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:41,400
Speaker 1: and at a problem that we could actually solve beyond

963
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 1: just giving money. We wants to have things that we

964
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:45,520
Speaker 1: can actually dig our teeth in and really help with.

965
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:49,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if you solved it, because okay, let's

966
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: let me just go back. Like the episode I saw

967
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,799
Speaker 1: the episode with the young lady who's the reality star.

968
00:51:55,920 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that that that that show made her made

969
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 1: that Let's let's let's be real. Now you got mad

970
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:08,800
Speaker 1: at her, did you not? I did? And you know

971
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: why I did. And here's the deal. I asked the

972
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: producers when I went in, before we start apology, give

973
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 1: everybody the back story so we can keep everybody in

974
00:52:17,480 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: this journey about what this show was about and then

975
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: why you got made. Okay, so that this what is

976
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,919
Speaker 1: this episode about? This particular episode with eight hundred West

977
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 1: was all about helping a reality star named Megan James

978
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:35,880
Speaker 1: with her swim swimwear fashion mind that she makes for

979
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: fashion no but a big reteller that's very popular. So

980
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,200
Speaker 1: she brought in with her a partner that she actually

981
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:46,800
Speaker 1: was blessed with. This woman who's um connected in the industry,

982
00:52:46,840 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: is cutting and so wasn't a material handlers and production

983
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: and she does all this stuff that you need, the

984
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: contact you need that she became her partner, a very

985
00:52:56,200 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: minor partner. But this partner of hers gave her credit

986
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 1: she may get to use because she had eighteen years

987
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: of credit established with these people, and Miss James did

988
00:53:07,239 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: not pay her bills and so now this poor lady

989
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 1: Tanya is faced over eleven thousand dollars worth of it

990
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:20,080
Speaker 1: build and potentially we'll be sued. So, um, the reason

991
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: why I got set with Mrs James is because he

992
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: did not take account of the whole accountability for her action.

993
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 1: She did not care that she's what she did to

994
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:33,279
Speaker 1: Miss Tanya. I felt horrible that she has this platform

995
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: that she can actually do good with, but instead she's

996
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 1: making us look bad. We as black woman already have

997
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,319
Speaker 1: a lot of things we have to face and deal

998
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 1: with negativity, negative impressions and impressions of us, and we

999
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: have to set up bar higher for ourselves. And when

1000
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 1: you have the opportunity to do so in a platform,

1001
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: take it seriously. And I was disappointed with her. Um.

1002
00:53:58,040 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 1: So that's where you see the anger company firm the

1003
00:54:00,000 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: because I want her to do better. Well, the thing

1004
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:04,839
Speaker 1: about it in that scene, let me just tell you, guys,

1005
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: I was upset because Megan that's her name, correct, was selfish.

1006
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: They're selfish. This younger her partner was crying, her was

1007
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: emotionally crying, pleading her case with receipts and you know

1008
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,600
Speaker 1: what they're going what's the problem. I don't care, she said,

1009
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 1: I don't don't make me feel bad. I don't feel

1010
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,800
Speaker 1: about at all. I'm like, oh my goodness, and I

1011
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: think we need to move her up an hour to

1012
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: y'all fix my life and then come back to this show. Well,

1013
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: you know you fix it. Though, I'm gonna tell you

1014
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: somebody else in this show, because when you watch this

1015
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: she gotta watch these shows because they grab you. They

1016
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: get you once you once you realize you're dealing with

1017
00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 1: a crazy person. You're trying to figure out how miss

1018
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: Dillinger is gonna fix this problem, because I'm looking at

1019
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: the person who had no She was just she was

1020
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: just popular because she came from a rally show. She

1021
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: had no respect for the process. She had no business.

1022
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,479
Speaker 1: Since she had no respect for her partner. She spent

1023
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 1: the money that was supposed to go pay for the

1024
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 1: bills on herself. Yes, that was the part that got

1025
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:07,840
Speaker 1: everybody mad. Is that she had the money. She decided

1026
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:15,040
Speaker 1: that's profit. Profits go to them. Yes, yeah, yes, sir.

1027
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,880
Speaker 1: That was very hard for me to hear. That was

1028
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 1: very hard for me to hear. If you want to

1029
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: see a young lady try to straighten out the lives

1030

Speaker 1: and get people on just more than faith, because a

1031
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 1: lot of people start business on faith, and this is

1032

Speaker 1: was aware of home title fraud. There was little we

1048
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 1: could do to stop it. Now there's home title lock.

1049

1050
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,920

1051
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: Only I didn't want a nightmare. I didn't have home

1052
00:56:40,160 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: title lock then, but you bet I haven't now. Your

1055
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:54,520
