212
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: able to say wow, because you've got a career that

213
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: you gotta go back out there and tell jokes on.

214
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: So you don't want to come on the TV show.

215
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: Let me tell you this. For what I didn't want

216
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: people to do is to tune in and not know

217
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: this guy at all. That I had to have some

218
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: comed There had to be a balance. You have to

219
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: give him some comedy and then maybe you introduced them

220
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of Thomas Miles. But the comedy has

221
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: to be there. And that's what I loved, That's what

222
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: I love. So so as you went through, was there

223
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: they growth for you as a host because this was

224
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: your You've hosted many Lives shows. You've hosted those those

225
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: those those academic shows, a black black academic shows. So

226
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: this is a different show. But dealing with adult people

227
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: is unscripted. What what challenges did it bring to you

228
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: as a host? As a host? You know what? Man,

229
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: I turned into U a coach. I turned into a referee.

230
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: I turned into a mentor. That that that because these

231
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: young guys and I'm saying here I am and I

232
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: can't believe I'm saying young guys they're in their thirties

233
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: and forties, that that that really really don't have a

234
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 1: clue about how to keep a relationship. So, you know,

235
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: outside of being funny, I had to go back and say, Okay,

236
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: come on, man, brother, really is this really the way

237

252
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:32,000

283
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: McDonald and money making conversations. Don't touch that. Yeah, we

284
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: sort of stopped paying attention and racked up a lot

285
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: of debt. Yeah, it was stressful. He blamed me for

286
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: my credit card debt, and I blamed him for building

287
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: that man cave. It's awesome anyway, we stopped blaming each other,

288
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: did our homework and read that a smart way to

289
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: consolidate debt is to get a fixed rate loan. But

290
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: getting a loan was brutal and a time drain. So

291
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: I was in my man cave researching personal loans and

292
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: I found best Egg. They have an A plus rating

293

294

Speaker 1: five stars for their easy online loan app and we

296
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: could be approved and funded and as little as one

297
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 1: business day. I applied online with no impact to my

298
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: credit score. She always takes credit from my wins. But

299
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: long story short, she got an awesome loan, paid off

300
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: our cards and some bills while lowering our monthly payment.

301

Speaker 1: the good story? You know that's the whole translation. Yes,

00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: because she she could control the room. Now she's that,

369
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: she's that brilliant. Now, first of all, the reason I

370
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: want to come want to talk about your new business

371
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 1: that you started called The Sweet Faith. That's s U

372
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: I t E. Faith. But I also want to talk

373
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: about when I on this show, I'd like to talk

374
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: about using an individual because you know, you originally from

375
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: the Fort Worth, Dallas, Texas area, correct, Correct? And you

376
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: made a decision, conscious lifestyle decision to move to New York,

377
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 1: did you? And you knew no one in New York

378
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: when you moved up there, and a lot of people

379
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: in life are intimidate by the process of making a

380
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 1: decision because there's so many degrees are unknown of the

381
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: available is unknown, and fear shut them down. Why were

382
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: you able to How were you able to overcome the

383
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: unknown or the fear of even potential failure because there's

384
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: no guarantee you were going to be successful when you

385
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: moved to New York. How did you overcome that my

386
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: faith in God. It was one of those things that

387
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: I had a really great conversation with my mother one time,

388
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: and she just said she wanted more for me. And

389
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: as scared that as that might seem, because I just thought, oh,

390
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna go to college, I'll get married,

391
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: I'll have a couple of kids, like that will be

392
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,680
Speaker 1: all I need. And she was like, nope, I see

393
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: more for you. You're going to do more. I need

394
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 1: you to live your dream. And I took a trip

395
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: to New York and I got on that plane and

396
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: to go back to Texas, and I cried my heart out,

397
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 1: and I was like, in two years, I'm moving in

398
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: the summer of two thousand five, And in the summer

399
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: two thousand five, I moved to New York. And uh

400
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: summer of two thousand Rushian McDonald moved to New York.

401
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: And that is true. It was our kind of career

402
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: path kind of aligned, which was great because I literally

403
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 1: had just gotten there. I was already in my career

404
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: of course in Dallas, um in corporate housing, and so

405
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 1: I knew my way around, but I was not knowing

406
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: my way around the city. So you were actually you

407
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: and the Steve Harvy Morning Show was one of my

408
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,680
Speaker 1: first top clients. So as intimidating as you were, and

409
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: you are demanding and assertive and you want what you

410
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: want when you want, and you were kind of my

411
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: my big inspiration of I'm about to prove to this

412
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: man that I can do this job and I am

413
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: going to make it exceptionable for him. And from there

414
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: it just it accumulated to a point where I was

415
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: just like, Oh, I can do this, I can do that.

416
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 1: And then people started coming in and you helped with mentorship,

417
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,440
Speaker 1: and so many other great people did as well. Um,

418
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: so I just had a foundation want of faith and

419
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 1: to just to trust my instincts. And three I really

420
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: worked at it. I mean, there's a work ethic that

421
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,080
Speaker 1: you actually have to have in New York because you

422
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: will get stepped on and you have to play the

423
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: game and do it on your own terms in order

424
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: to win. So that's what I was able to do.

425
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: What exactly is corporate housing for the layman person to

426
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: understand that there's a there's a there's a whole business

427
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: out there that the works at. If you come to town,

428
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: you need some places they call us and we'll fix

429
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 1: you up in a turn key basic what's exactly its

430
00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 1: corporate housing. So corporate housing is apartment so essentially or

431
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: a home, which is how basically Airbnb was able to

432
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: accumulate and grow to billions of dollars. So it's a

433
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: company that allows you to stay in an apartment that

434
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: is fully furnished, so you'll have internet, phone, cable, you'll

435
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: have all of the amenities. It's like you're walking into

436
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: an apartment that you set up and all you have

437
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: to do is just go pick up the keys at

438
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: the front desk. So we take care of the housekeeping,

439
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: We take care of all of the maintenance, any additional fees.

440
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: It's a whole package plan. So it's a great set

441
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: up when it comes to a big city like New

442
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: York or l A or you know even here um

443
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: in Texas. So that allows you the comfortability of getting

444
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: that kind of as they say, home away from Holland

445
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 1: situation instead of staying in a hotel room. It's the

446
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: four walls. You don't have like a full kitchen, you

447
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: can't really entertain guests when you want, So it gives

448
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: you a little bit more flexibility, um, just to feel

449
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: more comfortable and allow you to entertain better. You're competing

450
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: with in the world of the orbits, the trivelossities and

451
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: all these things. But you're talking from your angle is Look,

452
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: it's a faith based angle. And so this is our brand.

453
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: This is that's your brand base. That's gonna be clear

454
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 1: with this. You can book anybody. Anybody who wants to

455
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: travel come to us, Okay, exactly exactly. That's why I

456
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: say we are we are not discriminating. It is that's

457
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: where the ASO, the specialty groups come into because like yourself,

458
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,439
Speaker 1: you were you moved to New York because you were

459
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: on assignment um with the Steve Harvey Morning Show. So

460
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 1: if someone's even you know, moving just for a few

461
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: months because they're on set, or if you just need

462
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,959
Speaker 1: a lady's day retreat um, you know, so it doesn't

463
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: matter the gamut. You just give me a call. So

464
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 1: the number is seven one three two five one five

465
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: five five, and we can put it together with our

467
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 1: it's going to save you so much time. Because I

468
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 1: talked to so many church administr readers and they're pulling

469
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: the hair outs trying to make sure they get the

470
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: best deals going through our tineraries and stuff, So that's

471
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: something that we can help and take care of. And

472
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 1: then the benefit also of our company is that we

473
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: like to give back. So the more services that you

474
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: go through the Sweet Faith and use, the more we're

475
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: able to actually give back to your church, give back

476
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: to your church, your charity. Um. Of course, I don't

477
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: know too many churches who don't have a building fund, um,

478
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: you know. So it's all about giving back. So that's

479
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: one of the things that we also inspired to do.

480
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: So when you use us, we're actually given a portion

Speaker 1: back with more from mar Sean McDonald and money making conversations.

506
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: Don't touch that doubt. Yeah, we sort of stopped paying

507
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: attention and racked up a lot of debt. Yeah, it

508
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: was stressful. He blamed me for my credit card debt

509
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: and I blamed him for building that man cave. It's awesome. Anyway,

510
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: we stopped blaming each other. Did our homework and read

511
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: that a smart way to consolidate debt is to get

512
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 1: a fixed rate loan. But getting a loan was brutal

513
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: and a time drain. So I was in my man

514
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 1: cave researching personal loans and I found best Egg. They

515

570
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: information to my guests about and motivate them, because what

571
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 1: I've discovered is that a lot of people always want

572
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 1: me to mentor them, you know, And this shows really

573
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: a show about mentorship because I can't. I can't guide people.

574
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: I can't sit down, and there a lot of people

575
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: basically just need to hear the story over and over

576
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: again before they get it and realize that's their story.

577
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: What is your story? Ms? Pittman, My story is one

578
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: like a lot of people starting I started doing here

579
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: at home, so that's my story again. I started doinging

580
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: hair with a ball here that man, that's always and

581
00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: it looks good. But I started doing here in my

582
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: parents bathroom in middle school. And then I went from

583
00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 1: doing hair to go into cosmetology school, now technologist school, aesthetics, massage, therapy, kinesiology,

584
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 1: holistic here care practitioner, and Trichology school. So I've been

585
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: in the health and beauty industry for a long time.

586
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: And then I helped incorporate coaching into my business model,

587
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: which leads me to where I am today to show

588
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: other people how to incorporate coaching into their business model

589
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 1: to have another stream of income and have a passive

590
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: stream of income. So that's my history starting from the bathroom.

591
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: Now I'm here. So it's always about the background. My

592
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 1: background uh, interstity kid. Uh, six sisters, two brothers. My

593
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: father's a truck driver. My mom had a high school education. First,

594
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: more people that didn't have a vision as beyond what

595
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: they raised kids and try to give them a better

596
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 1: life than what they had. Okay, here you are. See

00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: was like, okay, you need to get out of my

613
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: kitchen too, So then I started going to the people's

614
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: homes and then my dad didn't like that side of

615
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, now you need to get in the

616
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 1: salon because you don't know who's how she's going. So

617
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: I did um and my parents was just like, if

618
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna do it, take it to the next up.

619
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: First of all, my dad was like, you're doing hair

620
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: like what Like he wanted me to really pursue going

621
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: to college first, but he supported it. My mom was like,

622
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: if you're going to do you're not going to do

623
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: one kind of hair. You're gonna learn how to do

624
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: everyone's hair. You're going to be diverse and just don't

625
00:32:56,960 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: be the stereotypical hair scholars. So they me and thankfully

626
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 1: I got to see my mom. She's an entrepreneurship, had

627
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: a daycare. My dad worked on the railroad and its Savannah.

628
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: That was like one of the job for the black

629
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: man to have. That was like the jobs. So him,

630
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: he dressed the dressed ushn So you know, that's what

631
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: I saw, and in mediocrity was not celebrated in our house.

632
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: So you know, we didn't get celebration for doing what

633
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: was expected of us. Now it's interesting because I look

634
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: at what you what you accomplished it like my parents.

635
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: You know, my mom was just you know, do the

636
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: badge and then the hot iron and then I had

637
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: all that done in my hair. When I wanted to win,

638
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: it was flowing, you know, had the hot irons. Is

639
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: that what happened? Everything happened this head. I got the

640
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: size burnt out. You know that when you put that

641
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: little that that that peram on my hou don't stay

642
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 1: and then you know later stay calmed down, it's gonna

643
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: be all good. Mama, my head burned it up. Any baby,

644
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: you gotta go through the bird. You gotta go through

645
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: the bird to get it right. So I know that

646
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: that that that that in the African American community, home

647
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: has style and was something that a lot of people

648
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,520
Speaker 1: did and then you, as a young person, turned it

649
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: into a business. What clicked in your mind that made

650
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: you I could make this a business besides just doing

651
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: people favors. There wasn't an option Like in my house.

652
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: It was because of my upbringing. It was like, you're

653
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: not just going to do it to do it. What's

654
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: your next move? What's you're gonna have a career? Because

655
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 1: you couldn't stay there, you know, And I didn't see

656
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: my mom failed or my dad failed. I had my

657
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: grandmother who was an entrepreneur, so I was pretty much

658
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,920
Speaker 1: the third generation entrepreneur. So that's all I knew. How

659
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: do you launch a business? Then, with that being said,

660
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: with all this information you're giving out as coach coach Pittman, Okay,

661
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: rus Sean McDonald, I have all these great ideas. People

662
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,400
Speaker 1: tell me or you're gonna make money one day, and

663
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: I was just gonna throw out a business. Let's say

664
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 1: I want to lunch. And it's not trying to hold

665
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 1: you accountable, but I want to launch me because people

666
00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 1: say I can bake war winning baker. People always ask me, Roshan,

667
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,400
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna open the restaurant. I know, well,

668
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: how can I buy those cakes? Did you make those cheesecakes?

669
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 1: They killer? I want to? I want to. I want

670
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 1: to open a cheesecake business. How why would I launch that? What? What? What? What?

671
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: What would be the mistakes I would make? Because right now,

672
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: being driven by my friends absolutely absolutely telling me I

673
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: should do this nobody, nobody from Baker hadn't told me

674
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,879
Speaker 1: about alone. I don't know about the manufacturer. I'm gonna

675
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 1: mask produce these things. What how would I launch that?

676
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: I would say what I teaches? Ranking it? What can

677
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: you do right now with what you have? So you

678
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,879
Speaker 1: have all these great ideas, rank them for the number three.

679
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: Number three is something that I could do right now

680
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: with what I have. So if I'm a great baker,

681
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: besides my friends, who else knows that I'm a great baker?

682
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: So you can build start building relationships. Go to car dealerships,

683
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,439
Speaker 1: go to restaurants, give them your stuff for free. People

684
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: don't like doing that, but go head and the people

685
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: that I could get some testimonials. That way, you can

686
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 1: build up some testimonials. Create your Facebook page, put your

687
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: pictures of your cakes, make them look pretty. And then

688
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 1: as you start doing that, hand your cards out and

689
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: start small because you jump out there. Figure your cost. Okay,

690
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: this is how much it's going to cost. Can you

691
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: get funding? After you get funding, what's your what's your

692
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: interest rate? How much you gotta pay? All of those

693
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: things matter, But first, initially, let people taste your product,

694
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 1: let people offer, and people don't want to do that

695
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: free part. We just want to jump out there and

696
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: have everybody like us. But no, start small by letting

697
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: people know who you are, gather those testimonials and build

698
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: because people say, oh, ninety seven people love this cheesecake,

699
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: Maybe I should drive slights. Now, how do we get

Speaker 1: not put ourselves in environments that we can become sharpened

764
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: and become smarter. So I tell people, if you don't

765
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: want to win, hang out with people that are at

766
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,520
Speaker 1: your same level. Put yourself in an environment that's going

767
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 1: to stretch you, that's going to help you be better.

768
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 1: And that's what I teach. I don't ever just want

769
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,720
Speaker 1: to be the smartest person in the room again, unless

770
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: everybody is coming there to he or me. But I

771
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 1: put myself in an environment that forces me to stay humble.

772
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 1: It keeps me real, it keeps me relatable, and I

773
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: know that I'm not the only person that knows everything. Well.

774
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: I agree with that, you know, I I know that

775
00:40:11,880 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: I have to. I've only gotten better by surrounding myself

776
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: with more and more people who are critical of MEA

777
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: questioned me, You know they're kind of tentative saying that,

778
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,839
Speaker 1: because you know Sean mcgun I have to tell him,

779
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: tell me if it's not right. I almost have to

780
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 1: demand that information from them because of the fact that

781
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 1: if you keep thinking that you know your kool aid

782
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: is best kool aid, and you're gonna keep drinking, it

783
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: might be a little better. Absolutely, But people afraid to

784
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 1: tell you a bit they're good, then throw it in

785
00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:39,279
Speaker 1: the trash and walk out the back door. That's the

786
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:41,839
Speaker 1: worst cooler the application of my life. That's what people

787
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:44,719
Speaker 1: fail in so many ways. Now you've been you're you're

Speaker 1: the brand that people can believe. We'll be right back

803
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,279
Speaker 1: with more from Marsan McDonald. The money making Conversations. Don't

804
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: touch that down. Yeah, we sort of stopped paying attention

805
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: and wracked up a lot of debt. Yeah, it was stressful.

806
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: He blamed me for my credit card debt and I

807
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 1: blamed him for building that man cave. It's awesome. Anyway,

808
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: we stopped blaming each other, did our homework and read

809
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: that a smart way to consolidate debt is to get

810
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: a fixed rate loan. But getting a loan was brutal

811
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: and a time drain. So I was in my man

812
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: cave researching personal loans and I found best Egg. They

813
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: have an A plus rating with the B B B

814
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,160

815
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: Consumer Affairs gave best Egg five stars for their easy

816

Speaker 1: online Loan app. And we could be approved and funded

817
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:21,720
Speaker 1: and as little as one business day. I applied online

818
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 1: with no impact to my credit score. She always takes

819
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: credit from my wins. But long story short, she got

820
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: an awesome loan, paid off our cards and some bills

821
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: while lowering our monthly payment. The Best Egg loan was

Speaker 1: Return of Parents. Marcellus Wiley, My man, I love right there. Well,

840
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: well I'll tell you some man Um. First of all,

841
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: this you know your sociology degree. My mind was the

842
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: sociology we always got that. Let's let's let's talk a

843
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: little bit about that, because I feel that because you

844
00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:02,720
Speaker 1: got a degree is so geology which is a plays

845
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: a part in your book, that that that really allows

846
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: you to tap into what you see in everyday life

847
00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: and also how you how you the person on the day,

848
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: How is important to getting that degree in sociology has

849
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 1: been to you for you? Yeah, it's it's been critical

850
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 1: because it's it's a degree that gives you a universal

851
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 1: understanding of people and the patterns of life and what

852
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:31,359
Speaker 1: really shapes us and influences us as as individuals. Um,

853
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 1: you really learn something that I think comes back from

854
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: biblical times where there are more similarities than differences and

855
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: everyone so I'm able to find those commonalities and try

856
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: to bring like minds together even though we may have

857
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: different experiences. So the sociology background really points out those

858
00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 1: elements in our everyday existence, whether it's go to the

859
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: grocery store, and why are certain items in the front

860
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,919
Speaker 1: and certain items in the back. And when you open

861
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 1: the magazine, why do they have certain articles here and

862
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: certain articles there? Every single facet of life someone that

863
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 1: has studied that behavior to try and have the most impact,

864
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: the maximum impact. And I'm able to know some of

865
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,439
Speaker 1: those things. Yeah, and that's really amazing. Now, your book,

866
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: that's why you're calling me. You know, I know we

867
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,439
Speaker 1: gotta love for each other, but you call about this book.

868
00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: We gotta sell some books. That's why I never shut

869
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 1: up The Life, Opinions and Unexpected Adventures of an NFL Outlet.

870
00:45:38,040 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: My man, why did you write this book? I wrote

871
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 1: this book to inspire everyone, no matter what adversity they face,

872
00:45:48,800 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: no matter what age group, what circumstances you come from.

873
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 1: Uh and simple. I'm a guy from Compton who who's

874
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 1: mother and father wanted a better life for me, and

875
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: they scraped together their pinies and took us from Compton

876
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 1: to South Central. And that may now say it seemed

877
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: like a huge leap to people, but you know, in

878
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:17,120
Speaker 1: our reality, it's crazy. My grandmother started this mindset. She

879
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:21,320
Speaker 1: moved from Watts in the sixties to Compton with the

880
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 1: same mindset. She wanted a better life for her family.

881
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: And my my story is just the fork in a

882
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:33,720
Speaker 1: roll kid who decided to use his talents to plant

883
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: and plan away out of the neighborhood to give himself

884
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: and his family a chance to live a better life

885
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: in better experiences and circumstances. So I became very responsible

886
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: for my talents. I didn't waste them. I didn't take

887
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:53,040
Speaker 1: them for granted. I try to maximize them and allow

888
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 1: them to give me an opportunity to make it to

889
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: to realize my dreams. And the reason I wrote The

890
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: Blue Kids it simply I'm a kid who figured this out,

891
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,759
Speaker 1: made sure he understood his identity, what his role was

892
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: in the family, and took full advantage of it. And

893
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 1: I want to empower everyone in their circumstances, no matter

894
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 1: how dire that those circumstances may look, that you can

895
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: become anything you want. And I know it sounds cliche,

896
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: but trust me, man, I am a walking, living existence

897
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:29,959
Speaker 1: of that same cliche. And I want to inspire others.

898
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 1: Will you do that for me, because it's really funny

899
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: when I read the book, Well, you had me at

900
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: the opening. You know, here's the funds day. They sent

901
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: me a link to get the book for free, right,

902
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:42,879
Speaker 1: and so I couldn't figure it out. And I read

903
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: the opening where you were sitting in your house waiting

904
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 1: to be called, and then then I clicked a little

905
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,480
Speaker 1: part and read sample, and it just took me to

906
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: that part that hold on, holdo, holo, hold on, and

907
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: I bought the book. I went on and bought the

908
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 1: book because first, first of all, you're my boy. Secondly,

909
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 1: you have me in the beginning, so I had to

910
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: read this book now. And so so the things is,

911
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:06,760
Speaker 1: this is the thing about it. It was very similar

912
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 1: because I come from the hood. I grew up in Hereford,

913
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: and just like your your parents, they moved me to

914
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: Northeast and somebody said that wasn't much of an upgrade,

915
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: but they thought they wanted to give me a better

916
00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to succeed. But things that the things that I

917
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:22,439
Speaker 1: stood out for me was that you said, athletes took

918
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: your athletics took you out. But you're a very smart guy.

919
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 1: Let's not unders sail your intellect, your intelligence, your your

920
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:33,399
Speaker 1: ability to get grades under in the circumstances and that's

921
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: what I think that on our last call that we

922
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 1: talked about, is that so many times standing in the hood,

923
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:42,479
Speaker 1: growing up in the hood, people only see one type

924
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 1: of person, and we know there are so many diamonds

925
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: in the hood that can sometimes be you know, the

926
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: be damaged because of the fact they're not giving the

927
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: proper opportunity to succeed. Sports gave you your opportunity and

928
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,480
Speaker 1: you got out and uh and then you on this

929
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:01,960
Speaker 1: radio show talking about your life ten years in NFL.

930
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: You know, beautiful daughter who's attending a tract scholarship at

931
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: the University of Connecticut, a wife who's a nurse anesthesiastic

932
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: in its thesis. Right, Yeah, I know, man, I was

933
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 1: working with him, and I was working with him, man.

934
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:20,440
Speaker 1: But but you know, you don't even know that if

935
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:21,920
Speaker 1: you read the book. Don't see what I'm saying. You

936
00:49:21,920 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: don't know that if you read the book. You gotta

937
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: read the book. But it's the funny part. But in

938
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: the beginning, in the early parts of the book, and

939
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna tell everybody book, but there's certain things

940
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: that you have to know about this young man and

941
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: in his journey. And it was like when I was

942
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: his sister there used to there, used to come walk

943
00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,239
Speaker 1: through school. They get beat up every day from the

944
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: fact they got beat up for four straight weeks, okay.

945
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 1: And in my when I was growing up in the hood,

946
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 1: it was this guy. This guy would pas me down

947
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: on the corner like I like he like I was

948
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: like he was the police every day. I our dread walking.

949
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:02,439
Speaker 1: I mean, see, at least Marcelis just tell his sister

950
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,279
Speaker 1: to go another way. She wouldn't go another way. We're

951
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: gonna walk down the street. See, I tried to go

952
00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: all the way. He found me. He found me every time.

953
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: So I found that so relatable to to that that's

954
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: how the hood is. The hood is is that either

955
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,800
Speaker 1: stand up and deal with it or runaway and become

956
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:24,440
Speaker 1: a victim of it. And that's and you never became

957
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 1: a victim of it. And that's why I really appreciate

958
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,080
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the book, and tell me about that.

959
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 1: You said a lot there, brother, Let me go back

960
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: to the beginning point. Uh. Yeah, my talents. When I

961
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 1: say talents, I mean to plural one and two. My

962
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: talents were academics and my talents were athletics. So I

963
00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: was a very good football player, damn good, super fast

964
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:53,320
Speaker 1: as a kid, and I was super smart, um smart

965
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 1: because I not so much. I was born a genius,

966
00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: but I was a kid in the front of the

967
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 1: class raising his hand asking why I was a curious kid.

968
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: So I coupled my two talents, which was my academics

969
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 1: and athletics, and I decided to play the game of

970
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 1: life in a short and in a long game. My

971
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: short game was gonna play football. That was gonna be

972
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: my means to an end. A lot of people in

973
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:23,320
Speaker 1: the hood look at sports and entertainment as the end game,

974
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, it's a means to an end. Um.

975
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 1: So I used football to get us immediately out of

976
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: the hood, to give me scholarship opportunities, to give me

977
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: the millions of dollars initially to help my family and

978
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: start generational wealth. Excuse me. That was That was football,

979
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: But the long game was Columbia. The long game was

980
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 1: my Ivy League education. A long game was opening up doors,

981
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:55,759
Speaker 1: having people respect my intelligence, to presume my intelligence before

982
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:58,680
Speaker 1: they even meet me. Based off a degree, based off

983
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 1: of schooling of the journey in the in the in

984
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: the articulation, and the characterization he has for both his

985
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: parents in the book is rather amazing. Now, the book

986
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:12,080
Speaker 1: title never Shut Up, I have to assume that that

987
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: title came from You're not You're not shutting up with

988
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys. Is that's why that title came from.

989
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: It was just your whole lifestyle because you didn't shut

990
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: up when your teammate told you to shut up. Yeah,

991
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:33,439
Speaker 1: that was one. It certainly has shown his ugly head

992
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: and at times this beautiful head in my life. But

993
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: the core of never Shut Up is for everyone. Um,

994
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: this world tried to tell me, The world tried to

995
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: tell me at a young age, who I had to be,

996
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 1: who I could be, and who I couldn't be. Uh.

997
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:52,640
Speaker 1: The stereotypes, the statistics, everything was telling me what I

998
00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: was going to be. But my essence was saying something different.

999
00:52:57,160 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 1: My responsibility to my family and to myself with saying

1000
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,399
Speaker 1: something different. So never shut Up comes from the fact

1001
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,080
Speaker 1: that you tell the world who you want to be.

1002
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,000
Speaker 1: Don't let the world tell you. Don't let the world

1003
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: dictate circumstances to you, dictate terms and they will. The

1004
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: world would tell you you're gonna be a gang banger bro.

1005
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: The world would tell you all you are as a

1006
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: football player, the world would tell you all you're gonna

1007
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 1: be is just this rapper or or you know what

1008
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 1: the world's gonna tell you. Your daddy wasn't here for you.

1009
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,880
Speaker 1: You're not gonna be anything in this world like this

1010
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 1: world would tell you so much. Never shut up telling

1011
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: the world what you're gonna be, and don't stop till

1012

1018
00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:02,120
Speaker 1: be right back with more from McDonald and money making conversations. Yeah,

1019
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 1: we sort of stopped paying attention and racked up a

1020
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: lot of debt. Yeah, it was stressful. He blamed me

1021
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: for my credit card debt and I blamed him for

1022
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: building that man cave. It's awesome. Anyway, we stopped blaming

1023
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,320
Speaker 1: each other, did our homework and read that a smart

1024
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,319
Speaker 1: way to consolidate debt is to get a fixed rate loan.

1025
00:54:18,520 --> 00:54:21,439
Speaker 1: But getting a loan was brutal and a time drain.

1026
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 1: So I was in my man cave researching personal loans

1027
00:54:24,280 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: and I found best Egg. They have an A plus

1028
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: rating with the B B B and best Egg handles

1029

1030
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,600
Speaker 1: Egg five stars for their easy online loan app. And

1031
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: we could be approved and funded and as little as

1032
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,920
Speaker 1: one business day. I applied online with no impact my

1033
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 1: credit score. She always takes credit from my wins. But

1034
00:54:43,719 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: long story short, she got an awesome loan, paid off

1035
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: our cards and some bills while lowering our monthly payment.

1036
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,520
